Looking at the plaque hanging on the gymnasium in front of him - showing the art of war - Nagayama Kaede showed a disgusted expression on his face, and turned back to his cousin Nagayama Naoki:
"Naoki, this is really unnecessary..."
"This is really necessary!"
"I'm already this old, and this is a kendo gym that teaches elementary school students!"
"Just right for your level!"
"What a shame!"
"I'm not here to practice anyway!"
"I don't want to practice either!"
"If grandpa knows that you didn't perform the most handsome image of his youth, you know what will happen!"
"...."
Today Naoki Nagayama brought his cousin to a dojo that specializes in teaching kendo and asked Kaede Nagayama to come and learn it!
Because the film "Hayato: New World" to be filmed later was set in the Taisho period. At that time, young Yakuza gangsters were poor and had no connections, so they couldn't use guns... so most of them used guns that were readily available.
Sticks and the like, the leader can use a short knife or a broadsword...
In fact, just like the young and Dangerous boys in Hong Kong who like to use watermelon knives and steel water pipes, it has become a stereotype!
Although Kaede Nagayama is the third generation of Yakuza with a strong family background, the Nagayama-gumi was only a small and active social group when he was a child, and his grandfather and uncle did not arrange anything like kendo lessons.
This resulted in Yongshan Kaede having to rely on his instincts and impressions from some action movies to learn the exclusive secret boxing technique used by gangsters to scare people - the Eight Attacks of Scaring Techniques!
I have fought a lot, and at least I have some experience in Sanda and boxing... Fortunately, "Hot Blood High School" was just a brawl between teenage students, so I didn't show any timidity at that time.
"Brother Kaede, the school here is Satsuma Shower-ryu, which is very famous... very suitable for Yakuza..."
Nagayama Naoki patted Nagayama Kaede on the shoulder. The so-called Satsuma Gegenryu means that he will make a loud cry when attacking. He is best at slashing the large cassock from top to bottom (power splitting Huashan), pursuing a one-hit kill.
of lethality.
Because the strange scream is also called the monkey style... it is very violent and cruel... it is very practical and powerful! Therefore, it is the choice of many Yakuza and other extreme elements~
"You just need to learn some tricks, and you can be passable when shooting... It is also very useful to sharpen your gun before the battle! Of course, you can also learn more. I have made an appointment with a dedicated coach before coming back!"
After giving instructions to his cousin, Nagayama Naoki wanted to turn around and leave, because the strange screams coming from the gym were really unbearable... Nagayama Naoki didn't want to go in and pollute his ears.
.....
But at this time, a thick hand pressed on his shoulder, and then he heard Yongshan Feng say:
"Naoki! We are brothers and we have to face difficulties together! How can I be the only one to enjoy such a good opportunity!"
"Anyway, you have nothing to do recently, so why not come and study with me?"
"Brother Feng, where are you? I'm very busy!" Naoki Nagayama refused with a straight face, and wanted to take away Yongshan Kaede's arm, "I have to go back to the company now! I can go to the film festival activities
Don’t open!”
"Hehehe... very busy?"
Yongshan Feng didn't believe a word of it, but he knew that Yongshan Naoki slept until he woke up naturally during these days, wandered around in the afternoon, and went to nightclubs and KTVs in the evening!
He tightened his arms slightly and dragged Nagayama Naoki, shoulder to shoulder, towards the gym.
"Naoki, stop making excuses. I can't escape this class, and neither can you! As a director, if you don't have a deep understanding of the swordsmanship in the film, how can you shoot a good action scene?"
"...."
It actually makes sense!
Nagayama Naoki glanced at Brother Feng's side face. This guy who thinks with his muscles has actually become smarter. As expected, he was very impressed after three days of separation!
........
When the wooden partition door of the gym was opened, the noisy howling became even more obvious!
A group of students from ten to ten years old are practicing Su Zhen in the lobby, shouting with all their strength every time they swing; there are also slightly older students who are learning the stance, and they also have to shout every time they attack; even less
Several senior students were fighting each other, and naturally the dogs kept barking...
The drake voice in the voice-changing stage is already unpleasant, but these guys still roared at the top of their lungs, one after another, as if they were about to roar out of their lungs. These howls can be regarded as mental attacks!
The middle-aged instructor wearing a white coaching uniform saw someone coming in, got up and walked over:
"Are you guys?"
"We are here to study!" Naoki Nagayama stood up, "We called before..."
"Ah, it's you!"
The middle-aged coach's complexion obviously improved a lot. He had already received the instructions from the gym owner. He had to spend a lot of money to hire a high-end personal trainer. For one-on-one teaching, he only needed to learn the posture...
.
These days, kendo has almost no place for practice. Kendo gyms are only used for fitness or as interest classes. As a coach, he does not have the high profile of teaching killing skills in the past... You have to make money and eat.
~
So naturally I am very happy when I meet someone who has been taken advantage of!
"I'm Satsuma Kesenryu-Osho Neden-Takagi Katsuo!" Coach Takagi Katsuo extended his hand in a friendly manner, "I will be your future kendo coach!"
"First meeting, I am Kaede Nagayama/Naoki Nagayama..."
The two cousins shook hands with Takagi Katsuo respectively.
Fortunately for Brother Kaede, he has not been famous for several years, but Nagayama Naoki is different. Takagi Katsuo opened his eyes wide when he shook hands.
"Are you... Naoki Nagayama?" Katsuo Takagi asked in surprise.
"If there is no other Naoki Nagayama, it should be me~" Naoki Nagayama smiled. He was already prepared for being recognized, but he didn't have many fans and wasn't worried about being onlookers.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It's the 'playful Naoki'" Katsuo Takagi continued to ask as if he was confirming, "The one who fell in love with Akina Nakamori!"
"...."
As expected, someone now identifies her as Nakamori Akina's boyfriend! Sure enough, if your girlfriend is famous, you may have this kind of trouble... But judging by her age, Takagi Katsuo is probably not a fan of Akina.
"Hi, it's me!"
"It's really surprising!" Katsuo Takagi laughed, "Speaking of which, many of our students here are fans of Akina Nakamori... If they knew about Naoki Nagayama,
Come here to learn swordsmanship..."
Nagayama Naoki looked at the students in the gym lobby who were holding hardwood knives and howling and slashing hard into the air, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly:
"Please also keep it a secret... If we practice, it's best to do it in a private place..."
"No problem!" Takagi Katsuo agreed in a polite manner. The tuition fees promised by Naoki Nagayama were too much, and he must serve him well. "No one usually comes to the backyard of the gym, so let's teach there!"
"That would be troublesome!"
"It's okay, but first, you need to change clothes..."
"Hi!"
The two of them followed Takagi Katsuo and walked towards the inside of the gym. The students on both sides looked over curiously, but they were all scolded by the senior students who were supervising them to stay focused and put all their energy on the sword in their hands...
..
Nagayama Naoki and Nagayama Kaede, who put on their kendo uniforms, began to receive individual tutoring from Katsuo Takagi in the backyard...
The money is indeed well spent!
.........
While Naoki Nagayama and the leading actors were preparing for "The Legend of Hayato", Kyū Kijima walked out of the editing room of the Shuyu Building.
They were followed by two junior directors, Souo Matsuo and Banyuki Nishimoto...
"Late Night Diner" has been filmed and edited, and even the broadcast has ended. Naturally, these two backup forces will move wherever necessary.
Now Shuyu's other manpower is at the Tokyo International Film Festival, and the only project being produced is Kijima Kyor's "101 Proposals", so naturally the two of them have to help!
"Arigado, Matsuo-kun, Nishimoto-kun..." Kijima Xu said gratefully, "You could also go to the film festival..."
"Haha, why are we going there to join in the fun!"
Souo Matsuo said with a smile that although he participated in the filming of "The Camera Don't Stop", everyone knew that it was Naoki Nagayama's credit. He was just lucky enough to participate in the movie... If it were any other
Others can also play his role!
So instead of joining forces at film festivals, it’s better to hone your skills in Shuyou’s other projects so that you can stand out on your own as soon as possible.
For example, Masataka Komori, the director of the film that opened the Tokyo International Film Festival, and Yuki Kijima, the director of several best-selling TV series, were promoted in this way!
In just a few years... he was promoted from camera boy to main director. This is one of the few examples that cannot be found in the entire neon film industry!
In the neon workplace culture that emphasizes seniority and seniority, it is not uncommon to have more than ten years of experience as a director's assistant... As long as your seniors don't give you a chance, you won't be able to get promoted...
However, Shuyou Pictures broke this convention!
Naoki Nagayama, Shuichi Itou, Masataka Komori, Kyon Kijima... all rose from prominence to fame in just a few years under the eyes of the entertainment industry!
Tree Friends Pictures continues to move forward, catching up with several established film studios... Young people all know that Tree Friends Pictures is their best opportunity now!
Therefore, Matsuo Souo, Nishimoto Banyuki and others, who were able to join the tree friends through Shuichi Itou's relationship with Tokyo University of the Arts, and were lucky enough to join the junior director training program, cherished every training they received.
"Yes, Kijima-san!" Nishimoto Banyuki also complimented, "I think helping edit "101 Proposals" now is a good opportunity to broaden your horizons!"
"Yeah, I'm very happy when I think about our participation in classic scenes!"
Matsuo Souo and Nishimoto Banyuki sang together, which made Kijima Xu feel much better:
"After Naoki-san comes back and watches it, we will send the first few episodes to Fuji TV for review..."
"Will it be aired before the end of the year?" Souo Matsuo asked curiously, "This is generally not the time for a new TV series, right?!"
"There are various plans for the end of the year... that will attract the audience's attention!" Nishimoto Hanyuki also added.
"According to common sense, this is the case!" Kyūya Kijima nodded, "But it doesn't matter, Fuji TV and Naoki-san have already discussed it this time!"
"You know that Fuji TV's prime time slot now airs variety shows, right?"
Kijima Xu whispered to the two of them,
"But this time Naoki-san asked Fuji TV to resume broadcasting TV dramas in the prime time slot at 9pm on Mondays. Our "101 Proposals" will be broadcast on the 9th time of the month!"
Matsuo Souo and Nishimoto Banyuki looked at each other, and both of them were shocked. They asked the TV station to change the schedule of the TV series?!
This is not something that ordinary people can do! This is the prime time slot, the time with the strongest exposure... You know, this change has taken a big bite out of the original prime time variety show!
"Does Naoki-san actually have such a great influence on Fuji TV?"
"Ha, originally TV dramas were broadcast at this time, but it was changed to variety shows in the 1980s... Now it's just changed back!"
Kijima said with a faint smile,
"Our Shuyou's previous "Squid Game" and "Midnight Diner" were broadcast on other TV stations, which gave TBS and TV Tokyo a lot of exposure. In addition, the previous "Music Station" gave TV Asahi a direct hit program.
.....
It gave Fuji TV a sense of crisis... This gave it a basis for negotiations."
Fuji TV feels that its cooperative relationship with Shuyou is not as close as before. So many good programs are not on Fuji TV. It has a lot of pressure when competing with TBS and TV Asahi for the ratings king...
The five-year cooperation framework agreement signed before is no longer safe...so there is a lot of room for concessions in this communication...
"That's it~"
After some explanation, Matsuo Souo and Nishimoto Banyuki understood the reason behind it. It was also at this time that they deeply understood the importance of tree friends in the TV station.
"Our tree friends have indeed become a behemoth!"
Kijima Kyor saw the pride in the eyes of the two people, and he felt a sense of pride in his heart... Shuyu's current status, although most of the credit goes to Nagayama Naoki, he also owes it to Kijima Kyor
Contribute!
"Let's go, let's go eat first..." Kijima Xu patted the two of them on the shoulders, "Continue editing and improving in the afternoon!"
"We want to give Naoki-san a perfect answer!"
"Hi!" X2
...
Late in the afternoon, Naoki Nagayama came to the editing room of the Tree Friends Building.
The first episode of "101 Proposals" was shown on the small screen in the editing room...
Kaoru, who went on a blind date for the first time, had beautiful black hair, a graceful kimono, beautiful eyebrows and elegant temperament. At first glance, she looked like an ancient noble lady~
"It's definitely not him!"
She looked at one of the three candidates sitting opposite and thought to herself, because the middle-aged man opposite her who was quite old and average-looking was completely different from her~
"It's definitely not her!"
At the same time, Hoshino Tatsuro, who had a rough and sad look on his face and could tell at a glance that he was living a difficult life, did not think that he, who was forty years old and had been on blind dates 100 times, would go on a blind date with a beautiful woman like the one opposite him.
Two men and women who were obviously not on the same level actually became blind dates by accident, and then started a strange relationship...
"Ha ha....."
Although I wrote the script myself, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but laugh when he saw Kaoru in the TV series encouraging Tatsuro Hoshino when saying goodbye because of his kind personality, but was misunderstood by Tatsuro Hoshino as being interested in him.
Get up~
Next, there are various scenes of Hoshino Tatsuro’s crazy pursuit of Kaoru~
In the end, Xun was moved by Hoshino Tatsuro's true love and finally agreed to marry him... everyone was happy...
"If it were in reality, it would definitely not be like this!"
Thinking of the subsequent plot, Nagayama Naoki shook his head,
"I'll explain it clearly if I catch up!"
Kijima Xu also smiled and replied: "Not necessarily. A kind girl like Miss Xun is not good at rejecting..."
Generally speaking, girls who are not good at rejecting may fall into trouble if they are stalked~
"That's why there is a saying that a virtuous girl is afraid of stalking a man..."
Nagayama Naoki said to Kijima Xu and the other two people,
"You three are all single, right? Remember, if a girl doesn't refuse, she will have a chance! So if you like someone, chase her quickly, and you will definitely be single!"
"...."
The three people didn't know how to reply for a moment...but Nishimoto Hanyuki raised his hand and said:
"But, the person I like already has a boyfriend!"
"...."
Naoki Nagayama patted Nishimoto Banko on the shoulder and said sincerely:
"Then, you only have one competitor left!!!"
"!!!"(ΩДΩ)
"Hahaha, Kijima-kun~" Nagayama Naoki, who stunned the young man, turned to Kijima Kyon and said, "The editing of "101 Proposals" is very good... We will send it to Fuji TV tomorrow
Review it!”
"Hi!" Kijima Kyor responded immediately, "I will prepare the videotape!"
"Hmm~"
Nagayama Naoki nodded, and then thought about the purchase of shares in Fuji TV that had been discussed in the past two days... Do you want to talk to Minister Takano about this matter tomorrow?
The amount of the additional share issuance has not been determined yet... I don't know how much can be distributed to Shuyou...
