DreamWorks, the filming base in Ota District, has many crews coming and going. The entire park is very popular, and you can see celebrities and well-known actors coming and going from time to time.
This shooting base, which cost billions, is now very famous in the industry. It has rich scenes and convenient support. Many film shooting companies with less strength will come here to book shooting locations for shooting.
Even in the city outside the factory, many supporting services have been built around film shooting... including hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, convenience stores, extra agencies... and movie theaters for entertainment.
, entertainment city, KTV, bars and even some custom shops, etc.......
It attracted many people from surrounding cities to come to work, and it also caused the economic data of Ota District to rise rapidly... which made the district government of Ota District very happy!
It can be said that the speed of urban renewal is changing with each passing day, and Neon is not stubborn and old-fashioned in other people's impressions.
This is of course, in the rapidly developing bubble era, everyone is pursuing the pursuit of earning more, which is naturally different from the neon that has been lost for thirty years~
"Naoki-san~"
The director of the park, Katsura Ishikawa, still went out to pick up Naoki Nagayama in person, with a humble smile on his face.
"Welcome to DreamWorks~"
"Ishikawa-kun, why are you so polite~"
Nagayama Naoki patted Ishikawa Katsura on the shoulder, and suddenly realized that this guy seemed to be much fatter than before, as if he had eaten a lot of oil and water...
"You haven't exercised much recently, have you?!"
"Ah, this!" Ishikawa Katsura shrank his shoulders, "I've been very busy recently. I'm in the park every day, so I don't have time..."
"Then you still need to pay more attention to your health. If you eat too much and gain weight, a series of problems will occur!"
Nagayama Naoki definitely speaks from the bottom of his heart. Judging from his previous experience, after gaining weight, fatty liver, hyperlipidemia, high blood pressure...all kinds of strange symptoms will appear.
But to Ishikawa Katsura's ears, these words had a different meaning.
"What does Naoki-san mean? Eat too much? Did you find out that I got kickbacks?!"
"Will there be problems if you gain too much weight?! This is a warning to me, this must be a warning to me!!"
"How can it be repaired? We only received such a small amount of gift money! We actually sent auditors here!"
The director of the film shooting base manages the filming studio of so many crews, but is far away from the company headquarters...
Just open your mouth and a lot of money will be sent to you, and there are even some pillow business and the like... But Ishikawa Katsura has not been completely corrupted...
In fact, the business of the filming base in Ota City is so good, and the own "101 Proposals" is also being filmed. When Otomo Yoshimura from the headquarters came to inspect last month, he found that there were too few manpower, and the management and supervision of the main business was also insufficient.
It was not enough, so I hired an assistant for Ishikawa Katsura...
Ishikawa Katsura is mainly responsible for business, so the assistant is naturally responsible for financial matters. This is a routine operation for mature companies to prevent branches from losing control.
Just like Shuyou Capital, even though it has an absolute confidant, Wonta Nakai, the financial staff are still sent from the Shuyou headquarters! The same goes for the discos, KTVs, offices, etc....
.
But Ishikawa Katsura doesn't think so. He is not a close confidant, and he is indeed a little greedy... He sent someone to take care of the finances just the day before yesterday, and today Naoki Nagayama personally came to warn him...
"I didn't expect this guy Naoki Nagayama to be so scheming at such a young age! No wonder he can make so much money!"
I was complaining like this in my heart, but my face was full of sincere smile:
"Hey, I will definitely find time to exercise!"
Nagayama Naoki nodded and walked inside: "Yeah, keeping healthy is the most important thing... Life only lasts a hundred years, and in the end, your body is still important!"
"Naoki-san is coming today?"
"The main thing is to see if the filming of "101 Proposals" went smoothly..." Naoki Nagayama said, "By the way, book the movie venue here in advance!"
"I see, I'll take you there right now..."
Ishikawa Katsura diligently leads the way for his president. No matter what, there is absolutely nothing wrong with serving his boss first.
...
Kijima Kyū's "101 Proposals" has just started not long ago, and he is not too anxious... He just repeats some scenes to let the crew get used to it first. This is what he learned from Nagayama Naoki
Arrived~
"The other extras spoke in low voices as they normally would when eating... The hero and heroine, remember this is your first blind date, so be restrained and polite..."
In the indoor scene in the restaurant, Kijima Xu warned the male and female protagonists who were on a blind date,
"Prepare...action!"
Hitomi Kuroki (Kaoru Yabuki), with her hair disheveled and wearing a kimono, is sitting across the dining table with her back straight. Opposite her is Toshiyuki Nishida (Tatsuno Hoshino), who is very nervous and is wearing a slightly ill-fitting suit.
Lang)......
The two people who play the heroine's sister and the hero's sister liven up the atmosphere nearby.
"Miss Xun, don't you like crabs?"
Hoshino Tatsuro's words made Yabuki Kaoru across from him laugh non-stop, because before eating, when she and her sister talked about today's blind date, they laughed at him for looking like a crab...
"This is my first blind date for my sister, so I'm a little nervous..." my sister explained.
"Hoshino-san looks very calm~" Kaoru Yabuki looked for a topic.
"Ha~" In front of the beautiful woman in front of him, Hoshino Tatsuro seemed to have found something worth showing off, "Actually, I have come here 100 times!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "!!!" The brother next to him almost spit out the food in his mouth, and immediately explained, "The second time, he is the second time..."
The two people opposite thought they were just telling jokes, and the atmosphere relaxed a lot, so they continued chatting:
"Mr. Hoshino, what is your age this year?"
"28!"
"!!!" The younger brother explained again, "Haha, he is actually 42~"
"So you're not married yet?"
Yabuki Kaoru interrupted with a smile: "Qiane, it's rude to ask like this... Can you tell at a glance?"
"..."Who is rude?!
The scene fell into an awkward silence. Kaoru Yabuki also realized that he had said something wrong and quickly made up for it:
"You can tell at a glance that he must be concentrating on working hard and not having much chance to meet girls..."
"Ah...hahaha, that's what happened!!"
The atmosphere at the scene instantly changed back to lively and gentle....
"...."
"Why isn't Miss Xun married?"
"...."
"Everyone must have seen that Miss Xun is like a flower on the high mountain, so no one dared to pursue her!"
"Hahaha~"
Kyū Kijima was watching the scene behind the camera, silently evaluating the performance of the actors in the scene. Toshiyuki Nishida is indeed an experienced actor, and he performed that awkward and reserved attitude very well...
..Hitomi Kuroki is a little embarrassed, maybe it’s because of the stage play...
The two supporting characters unexpectedly clicked together and acted very relaxed... However, their coordination with the other characters was still a bit poor...
"CUT!"
When the filming of this scene was completed, Kijima Kyor shouted,
"Nishida-san, your performance is very good, but there are some deficiencies in your cooperation with your brother... Hitomi-chan, relax a little, you sit too straight..."
After talking about the crew's performance, Kijima Xu shouted to the stage manager:
"Props team, change the crab! Another one!"
Seeing that filming was taking place, Naoki Nagayama did not step forward... he quietly stood behind the crew and watched for a while.
Kyoshi Kijima is now able to command the crew with ease, and the communication with the actors during filming is also very smooth... In fact, the line just now is actually enough, but Naoki Nagayama can tell that Kyoshi Kijima is
In polishing the cooperation between the crew and actors...
"You are already a mature director!"
Naoki Nagayama sighed and decided not to disturb him... Otherwise, the crew, led by Kyon Kijima, might have to re-establish its backbone...
"Ishikawa-kun, let's go~"
"Eh? Naoki-san, aren't you going to meet Kijima-kun?" Ishikawa Katsura was a little surprised.
"I'm not going..." Naoki Nagayama didn't explain anything, and silently left the set, and then said to Ishikawa Katsura, "Ishikawa-kun, take me to see the antique set area!"
"Hi!"
Ishikawa Katsura took Nagayama Naoki towards another area of the park.
"Hayato: New World" took place more than 30 years ago. At that time, there were many high-rise buildings in the core area of Tokyo, but other places were not like today, with low buildings, tangled wires everywhere, and even some shantytowns.
....Those places where the real bottom lives.
At the filming base, a quite large area was specially built... Naoki Nagayama walked around the set and was very satisfied.
"Neon is not like the Kowloon Walled City...if there was, it would really look like a gangster when photographed..."
In such a complicated and narrow neighborhood, the chase scenes and fight scenes will be exciting.
"Ishikawa-kun, please help me renovate the scene here during this time..." Nagayama Naoki said to Ishikawa Katsura who had been beside him, "Prepare some clothes from 30 years ago... and give them
I’m sending out some recruitment tips at the extras agency... We need some fierce-looking male extras, who want to play the role of Yakuza elements..."
"Hey, I got it!"
...
In the afternoon, Naoki Nagayama returned to the Tree Friends Building.
"Otomo-san~"
"Naoki-san, everyone is here!"
After Yoshimura Otomo saw Nagayama Naoki, he took him directly into the conference room. There were very familiar faces inside, all of whom were members of the Tokyo International Film Festival Preparatory Committee.
"Mina-san, good afternoon~" Nagayama Naoki greeted everyone with a relaxed expression, "I have called everyone here today, but there is actually only one thing...the opening date of the Tokyo International Film Festival is approaching.
, let’s finally confirm the final process of the event..."
In fact, large-scale events are constantly changing until the last moment, and it is not uncommon for the Red and White Song Festival to change its program at the last minute.
"I will give the opening speech at the opening ceremony..."
Nagayama Naoki announced this directly without giving everyone any room to continue the discussion. By the way, he settled some points that were still being debated.
"The opening movie is "Haijie Diary"..."
"The opening ceremony will be broadcast jointly by the five major television stations..."
"The award-presenting guest..."
"...."
As the initiator, organizer, and organizer of the Tokyo International Film Festival... Shuyou does have a great say in this event, but he hopes that the Tokyo International Film Festival can exert its due influence.
, which requires the cooperation of other parties.
Therefore, in terms of broadcast rights, media interviews, award guests, exhibition venues, and promoted movies, Naoki Nagayama made a lot of concessions to major TV stations, established production companies such as Toho Toei, and official representatives...
Except for the opening words and the opening movie, Shuyou Pictures' exposure in other aspects is the lowest among all parties.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Mr. Naoki Nagayama..."
Toho's Minister Tomiri Nakano made comments after Naoki Nagayama's speech,
"Toho has no objections in other aspects...but when it comes to film awards..."
Naoki Nagayama and Shu Itou looked at each other, are they trying to interfere with the award?
This is the most important area of the Tokyo Film Festival. If the awards are not objective and authoritative, then it will be impossible for this film festival to continue from the beginning.
"Regarding the selection of awards, all decisions have been left to the jury... There should be judges from Toho participating? Isn't Minister Nakano worried about the jury led by Imamura Shohei?"
"Ah, no, no, no, of course we agree very much with Imamura Shohei's judging panel." Nakano Chirui quickly shook his head. This cannot be admitted, "It's just... we feel that the awards in the main competition unit are too few!"
At present, there are only six awards in the main competition unit, including the Film Festival Grand Prize, the Jury Prize, the Best Director Award, the Best Actor, the Best Actress, and the Ozu Memorial Award... It is indeed a bit few...
..not even a fraction of the movie blue ribbon.
"What does Minister Nakano mean?"
"I would like to propose that in addition to the main competition section, some film festival encouragement awards... such as the Youth Film Award, are used to encourage young directors... The Critics' Special Award is used to encourage those who are working in the film industry.
A movie that caused controversy in the film industry...."
"There are also artistic contribution awards and special achievement awards... used to praise those who have made outstanding contributions to film art."
When Naoki Nagayama heard the names of these awards, he immediately understood...these awards are not judged by the quality of the film itself, but by words such as encouragement and contribution...
In fact, it’s the internal struggle within the film industry!!!
Generally speaking, for various film selection activities, these awards will definitely not be included in the first session... because the selection itself does not necessarily have any authority and popularity, and those senior big shots may not be interested in it...
....
It seems that the big guys are also very optimistic about this Tokyo International Film Festival!
Originally, Nagayama Naoki thought that this group of talents would ask for such an award at the second or third film festival!
"I see... Then how do you select the winners of these awards?" Nagayama Naoki nodded, and after looking around at the other members, he said noncommittally, "There are only ten days left until the opening!
"
"Haha, stupid tape!" Minister Nakano was very happy to see Naoki Nagayama had no objection, "As long as Naoki-san doesn't object, our preparatory committee can vote on its own... Anyway, Toho Toei Shochiku Kadokawa and others
Representatives from the film industry are here..."
"Well...that's okay~"
Anyway, it was just about printing a certificate and awarding an award, and it was not the main competition unit, so Naoki Nagayama had no objection.
He looked at Itou Shuichi:
"Xiu Yisang, let you take charge of this matter...the awards don't have to be too many~"
"Me?" Yi Tang Xiuyi was surprised, and then he understood instantly and nodded immediately, "Hey, I will be the host!"
Behind Shuichi Itou is the Tokyo Art Academy. The academic school is also a big faction in the film industry. They must also have the need for such honorary awards!
This matter is left to them to compete with each other. Naoki Nagayama now mainly wants to make the Tokyo International Film Festival a good one...
Everything else can be put aside...
After this minor incident, the meeting continued, regarding the screening of movies in various venues, where to register if other movies are to be exported or imported, etc.
The sun outside looks very bright. Near Yoyogi Park, film festival posters can be seen everywhere. Flags are fluttering in the wind. The Tokyo International Film Festival is approaching step by step~
