906. If you make a movie, you will see him like a worm in the sky!!
...
"Zi..."
On the hot pan, the small red sausages made a sizzling sound under the hot oil, and the aroma of fat filled the izakaya.
The modified end of the flower knife slowly twisted, deformed, and curled, and in the end the small sausage looked like a small red octopus...
Served with finely shredded cabbage and salad dressing, the famous late-night cuisine of "Midnight Diner", the red octopus sausage set meal, appears on the plate~
The diner waiting is a yakuza guy wearing sunglasses at night, and the chef standing in the kitchen area cooking is tall, a little serious, and has a dark red scar on his face that tells a story at first glance.
...
"Hi~~CUT!" Naoki Nagayama shouted from the side.
"Brother Aoki... don't shake your hands! The expression on your face is already very good!" As for his elder brother, Nagayama Naoki still needs a little training. After all, he is a newcomer, and he always feels uncomfortable when facing the camera.
Somewhat nervous, "Remember, don't look at the camera!"
"Hey...I can control it~"
The eldest brother nodded with a straight face, his face still had a somewhat serious expression... This was what Nagayama Naoki had requested before. If his eldest brother were to make other expressions, his face management might break down.
"Okay, Mina-san, do it again!"
"Hi~~"
Amidst the response, the filming of "Late Night Diner" began again.
Today is the first filming of this program. The "Late Night" series of recipes that Naoki Nagayama had his eldest brother and his father try before are now officially available online. They may become the signature dishes of the izakaya in the future!
A late-night restaurant open from 9pm to the next morning. Because the owner's food is delicious and the person is kind, it has attracted a group of regular customers.
The eldest brother who lives in the Yakuza likes to eat octopus sausages, the owner of a gay bar likes sweet tamagoyaki, the striptease dancer wants half-cooked sturgeon roe, and the mistress of a real estate developer loves spaghetti...
....
Every regular customer has his or her own story, and every story collides in this late-night canteen. In the middle of the night, it seems that the distance between people becomes closer.
Nagayama Naoki was guiding the crew in the store, and was also training his assistant director Matsuo Souo. You must know that this TV series has been filmed for many seasons. Of course, Nagayama Naoki himself cannot be completely exhausted in subsequent filming!
After four hours of intense shooting, it was already one o'clock in the morning, and Naoki Nagayama said at this time:
"OK! Today's shooting ends here!"
The entire crew breathed a sigh of relief and began to relax.
"Oh oh oh~" "After get off work, get off work!" "..."
"It will be the same time tomorrow, don't be late!" Naoki Nagayama warned all members.
"Hi~~~"
When the crew was gone, he stayed behind to tidy up the kitchen with his eldest brother and father, and then they boarded the minivan back together.
"Naoki, are you going to have to wait until one o'clock in the morning every day from now on?" Aoki, the eldest brother who was driving a minivan, asked with some worry, "I don't mind, but my father is so late every day..."
"I have no problem!" Father Yongshan Ken said loudly from behind.
"No, today is the first time, so the running-in time is a little longer." Nagayama Naoki said, "From now on, I will control it before early morning every day..."
Then he looked at his stubborn old father:
"Father actually doesn't need to stay with us so late at night..."
"How is that possible!" Father Yongshan Ken shook his head stubbornly, "What if something unexpected happens in the store..."
"Hey, there are more than ten people in the program team!" The eldest brother Aoki advised, "Father, it's better to go to bed early!"
"..."
Seeing that his father in the back seat still disagreed, Nagayama Naoki could only persuade him in another way:
"Father, my eldest brother is going to be on the scene now, and he will be busy until early morning every day... Therefore, he must take more rest every morning, and he will have to worry more about things in the store... Father
Go back and rest early so that you can open the store with more energy the next morning..."
The izakaya itself is still open, so buying ingredients in the morning, making food in advance, etc. will have to be troublesome to my father alone in the future.
Fortunately, the Nagayama family's izakaya is not a big restaurant, so two people are somewhat redundant, otherwise one person would be too busy!
Hearing his son's coherent words, Yongshan Jian showed a hesitant look on his face, and finally nodded:
"If that's the case, then leave the preparations to me in the future!"
"That's really hard work, Dad!"
The eldest brothers Aoki and Nagayama Naoki immediately complimented him repeatedly, finally maintaining their old father's self-esteem.
When he got home, his mother had already fallen asleep. Hearing Nagayama Naoki's return, Yotaro waggled his tail to greet him... And in the cathouse in the corner, there was also a pair of green eyes.
Naoki Nagayama has returned to Shizuoka, but Tokyo will not stop its daily life just because one person is missing.
The most popular idols in the entertainment industry are touring the country, so the exposure left behind has become a must-have for the next level of idols.
Akina's friend Koizumi Kyoko began to attract the attention of the market with her funny and surprising looks. The musical talent Nahoko Kawai is showing her talent on the stage. The rumor of Kashiwahara Yoshie's "royal idol" is becoming more and more famous...
On the other hand, the idols of the younger generation have also shown their talents. Yukiko Okada is working hard to catch up with Seiko Matsuda for the second place~
Kudo Shizuka's popularity continues to rise, and she is compared with Okada Yukiko by the media. She vaguely feels like the next generation of "Matsuda Seiko and Nakamori Akina"...
There is also Sonoko Kawai who also came out of the Kitten Club. She made her solo debut under her own name. Her first single "涙のJasmine LOVE" immediately reached the top five on the Oricon chart...
Coupled with the efforts of a group of idols such as Yu Hayami and Junko Ito, the idol industry is an era where a hundred flowers are blooming.
During the day, in the Shuyu Building in Ikebukuro, Takeharu Kawahara brought Shizuka Kudo to Otomo Yoshimura's office again.
"Shizuka-chan...how are you practicing the song "I Want to Say I Love You Loudly"?"
Kudo Shizuka replied nervously: "I'm practicing with my vocal teacher recently...but I haven't met the vocal teacher's requirements yet..."
Takeharu Kawahara was there to help explain:
"Otomo-san, Shizuka-chan is on the rise in popularity. There are too many announcements and performances, and the schedule is too tight... So every time I go to the vocal teacher, I have to do it at night, and at most twice a week...
.... There is not enough time to practice.”
"That's a problem..." Yoshimura Otomo rubbed his brows, "But now the band teacher has almost finished rehearsing, Shizuka-chan has to speed up too... Otherwise, we can't be sure when
Naoki-san called me back to record..."
"Did Naoki-san actually do this record recording himself?" Kawahara Takeharu asked in surprise.
"Yeah, generally speaking, Naoki-san has to write his own songs..." Yoshimura Otomo nodded, "What's more, this time it's related to Shizuka-chan's 'promotion'..."
During internal discussions, this song "As if I Say I Love You Loudly" is aimed at the Record Awards at the end of the year, and I also want to try to win awards at major music festivals... all for the sake of making Kudo Shizuka
Take the idol world to the next level and become a top idol.
Therefore, both Nagayama Naoki and Yoshimura Otomo attach great importance to the promotion of this song.
"Well..." Yoshimura Otomo thought for a moment, looked at Kudo Shizuka and said, "Well, except for a few audio programs... Shizuka-chan won't make any announcements to the TV station in the near future...
Use all the free time on practicing "I Really Want to Say I Love You Loudly"!"
"Uh...Hi!"
Takeharu Kawahara nodded quickly. As an agent, he helped artists contact people for work. Shizuka Kudo had many such notices, and it would be no problem to remove a few.
Kudo Shizuka was listening to her arrangements. At this time, Kudo Shizuka was not in a position to express her opinion. As a new idol, the firm was undoubtedly in a strong position...
Fortunately, Shuyu's agency does not exploit idols as money-making machines, but rather considers the artist's body and spirit... I heard that Yukiko Okada of Sunny Agency is so busy that she can only sleep.
Three hours~
After Kudo Shizuka went out, Yoshimura Otomo began to think silently again:
"Naoki-san should have started filming "Midnight Diner" now..."
""Ume Street Story" is already being edited, with Chiko Aoyama, Yuki Saito, Momoko Kikuchi and Rie Miyazawa
.....These people should also consider their next arrangements..."
Thinking of this, Yoshimura Otomo scratched his sparse hair and complained a bit bitterly:
"Can't Naoki-san give you more songs at once?! These people still need to find someone to compose!"
........
In the editing room of the new headquarters, which has newer, larger equipment and more complete equipment, Komori Masataka, with a slovenly beard, stared at the shooting materials in his hands, selecting them over and over with other trainee directors.
Because of the training goal, "Haijie Diary" had a lot of shooting materials, and each trainee director even shot several shots from different angles according to their own ideas...
So it’s very troublesome to choose now~
"How did Naoki-san accurately select the materials he needed!"
Komori Masataka recalled his experience editing movies together with Nagayama Naoki. Every time, Nagayama Naoki accurately found the materials he needed, then cut the film neatly and glued it to the main track.
Although the editing operation is very complicated, every action is an effective behavior... Watching the movie take shape in your own hands little by little, the sense of accomplishment is not to mention how exciting it is...
...
And now...
"This part doesn't work..." "Would it be better to use this lens?!" "The transition here is too hard!" "Be careful, don't cut an extra piece of film!" "How about giving this shot a try?
Go up?" "..."
The trainee directors kept taking strips of film to put on the movie, and they had to compare each shot repeatedly to find what they thought was the best... and even when they couldn't find it, they had to ask Komori Masataka to make the final decision.
ruling......
At the end of the day, it's hard to even edit five minutes of footage...
"How long will it take to edit like this?" Masataka Komori sighed, covering his forehead...
"It's expected to take about three or four months!" said a trainee director, "Masaka-san, don't worry, it will definitely be completed before the end of the year!"
"... By that time, maybe Naoki-san will come back from Shizuoka and make a film of his own to open the festival!!!"
Komori Masataka roared angrily,
"You guys, don't you know that Naoki-san can shoot and edit a movie in a month?!!"
"Have you forgotten about the last episode of "Don't Stop the Camera"?!"
"..."
The trainee directors looked at each other and stopped talking... Comparing Nagayama Naoki with them, there is no comparison at all... That guy is no longer the same as myself and others.
It’s one dimension, okay!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Isn’t there a saying~
If you don’t make a movie, seeing the straight tree on Mount Evergreen is like a frog in a well seeing the moon in the sky... If you make a movie, seeing the straight tree on Mount Evergreen is like a frog in the well seeing the blue sky!!!
"Anyway, you guys!" Masataka Komori was also annoyed, "Before the editing of the movie "Ume Street Diary" is completed, you all stay in the company to edit the movie! Collective retreat!!!"
"...Then we are sleepy and hungry..."
"Hmph!" Komori Masataka's lips turned up, "Don't worry, I have thought about this a long time ago, so I gave my opinion when the new headquarters was being renovated!"
"There is a lounge next to it, with ten camp beds prepared! There are also toilets and shower rooms..."
"In the cabinet in the corner, there are instant noodles, cola, coffee..."
"Don't worry, everything about overtime will be arranged!"
"..."
The trainee directors looked at each other and couldn't help but swallow their saliva... It seems that this time, they are ready to stay in the company for a long time...
.........
Nagayama Naoki, who had taken a shower at his hometown, was not sleepy at this time.
In my previous life, I was a night owl and worked overtime... When the time comes, I will be more energetic...
He sat on the stool, looking at the notebook in front of him, thinking about what kind of Yakuza movie he would arrange for his grandfather.
"Like "Once Upon a Time in America"? It seems a bit too obscure... There is a sense of history, but it is not legendary, and there are no fighting or action scenes that attract ordinary people..."
Naoki Nagayama thought about the pros and cons of Western gangster movies. After all, the stories of Nagayama-gumi are not that famous in Neon.
Unlike a country like the United States, which was only founded two hundred years ago, and whose generation of gangsters has to be described in great detail, Neon has a much longer history, and there are countless more famous stories than the Yongshan family.
"In this regard, it seems that we can learn from Korean movies... After all, they are all oriental cultural systems..."
In the future era, Korean movies are actually very famous for their daring to make movies. The country is very relaxed about movies, and any movie that reflects real problems can be made... Although the main thing is that I can make it, but
Just don’t change!!!
"As for the fighting scenes...it looks like the famous one in the Elevator God of War..."
Ding Qing, the God of Elevator War, challenged seven or eight opponents alone in an elevator, and actually won in the end... It was very shocking to watch at the time...
And on a certain sound and a certain B station, there are all kinds of clips...with very magical soundtracks...
Thinking of this, a call suddenly sounded in Nagayama Naoki's ears——
"Hey, Yanbian!..."
The strong rhythm began to reverberate, the unique sound effects of DJ scratching, and the hard-core gangsta rap began to come...
Even though Naoki Nagayama doesn't understand Korean, when listening to the song, the feeling of being a ruthless member of society emerges...
"This song...what should I do if I don't know Korean..." Nagayama Naoki's head moved up and down according to the rhythm, "Anyway, let's write down the music score first...the lyrics...then we'll
match!"
The movie "New World" is about a modern gangster undercover by the police, who eventually becomes an undercover gangster and completely becomes a gangster... It is different from the background of the era of his grandfather Hayato Nagayama.
However, Naoki Nagayama has decided to recreate the scene of the Elevator God of War in his grandfather's movie.
As Naoki Nagayama, who has personally produced many films, he is confident in directing a film without original works. The worst he can do is make a hybrid...
"Neon Past" and "New World"?
Or, "Yakuza and Family" or "New World"?
Or, if you add a little police element, doesn't my grandfather have an intersection with Toshio Nam, a police officer from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Division? If you add a little police element, the interaction between the gangs and the police will also look good.
