Chapter 1091 1100, Where Is the Hottest Place in Tokyo This Summer? ? ?

"Where is the hottest place in Tokyo this summer?"

"Of course "Neon Sound" is the hottest!!!"

This question and answer was picked from a variety show. However, it also represents part of the truth.

As the selection of "Neon Sound" ended and entered a more intense and exciting confrontation stage, this variety show affected more and more people, and even the ratings increased from the original 30% to 35 or even 40%. As This one-episode variety show can even compete with the TV station's year-end shows.

But it hasn’t reached the level of the Red and White Song Festival~

In the NTV studio, the latest program is being recorded.

"Prepare the fireworks!"

On-set director Sora Uemura told the executive assistant,

"Look at my gestures. After the instructor made the decision, when the player took two steps forward, sprays came out from both sides!"

"Hi"

After explaining the recording work, the director signaled the host to continue the cueing process.

You must know that a variety show that is not a live broadcast is completely different when it is recorded and when it is broadcast. The same is true for "Neon Sound" this time.

Except for the basic need to readjust when singing and performing, other movements, interactions, exchanges, and even the instructor's words are all scripted. Of course, the instructor is also left with room to play freely, making the program more realistic.

The team performing on the field now is Nakajima Miyuki's team. The 14 people are divided into 7 pairs. They fight against each other and compete against each other.

On the stage, Sachiko Kamaiike still didn't wear much makeup, wearing jeans and a T-shirt, and her hair was combed casually. This casual look complemented the song "My Girl's Summer Vacation" she sang.

The audience in the audience also swayed to the relaxing music, and it felt like everyone was spending summer vacation together.

Producer Kazuhisa Fujiwara was standing by, watching Miyuki Nakajima choose Sachiko Kamaike without hesitation after the contestant's performance, feeling a little helpless:

"So determined, it looks like it was decided in advance!"

"Haha~" Director of the production bureau Yukino Kasahara also came to watch the show, "It doesn't matter. At worst, giving that contestant a 'Beloved Disciple' character might even increase his popularity."

When editing, I put together the appearance of Sachiko Kamaiike and the smiling expression of Miyuki Nakajima during the performance, along with the introduction of my beloved disciple, and the sympathy between outstanding women.

With the trend of female boxing becoming more and more obvious, there is no doubt that this can please a group of female audiences.

Don’t think that the neon art world in the 1980s was very backward. And because there were not many constraints, the neon art world was bolder than you imagined. They were actually the originators of some concepts, such as setting up characters to speculate on CP. of.

For example, LEGB culture, fujoshi culture, etc., neon has also been studied very early~

Kasahara Yukino and Fujiwara Kazuhisa chatted for a while about the recording of the show, and then asked:

"Naoki-san doesn't seem to come to Japanese TV to watch the filming of programs recently. What is he busy with?"

"Naoki-san" Naoki Nagayama was naturally addicted to raising children and couldn't extricate himself. Kazuhisa Fujiwara wanted to cover up the new boss and said, "Isn't the Tokyo International Film Festival currently being prepared?"

"Ah~~" Kasahara Yukino nodded understandingly, "So I was busy with that thing. The Tokyo International Film Festival is indeed important."

“But ‘Neon Sound’ is also completely hands-off.”

"Of course Naoki-san didn't let go." Kazuhisa Fujiwara can vouch for this. "We were still discussing with us whether we should strengthen our publicity strategy."

"Oh?" Kasahara Yukino looked at him in surprise, "Now it is the most high-end publicity resource~"

Fujiwara Kazuku then brought up the topic that Nagayama Naoki called to talk about the day before yesterday:

"Naoki-san feels that maybe before the finals of "The Sound of Neon", we can combine it with Nakamori Akina's comeback in terms of publicity, which will be beneficial to both parties."

It’s no secret that Akina Nakamori is preparing for her comeback. TV station’s Yukiho Kasahara has naturally heard about it, but he was still a little surprised when he heard Kazuhisa Fujiwara’s words:

"It's indeed possible. As long as Akina Nakamori appears in the show, the show will definitely be full of gimmicks!"

"Yeah, so we're already thinking about the details."

"Hahaha, Fujiwara-san is really reliable!"

"."

Fujiwara Kazuhisa was a little afraid to look into Kasahara Yukino's eyes, so he could only pretend to be concentrating on observing the recording of the program~

In the outside world, Naoki Nagayama, whom the two were just talking about, had just driven his new car, the Rolls-Royce Silver Spur, to the Tree Friends Building.

"Naoki-san, you're here~"

Suzuki Yukari, who was on duty at the front desk, greeted me warmly.

"Well, has the judging meeting started, Yunka-chan?"

"Not yet." Suzuki Yukari shook his head, "Naoki-san hasn't arrived yet, how can we start!"

"Ha, tell them not to wait for me~"

After hearing this, Nagayama Naoki felt helpless and hurried towards the conference room on the second floor.

Today is the script review meeting to decide next year's filming plan, so Otomo Yoshimura and Shu Itou notified him early in the morning that they must be there. This is related to next year's work.

When I arrived at the reserved conference room, I opened the door and found that Otomo Yoshimura, Shuichi Itou, Masataka Komori, Kyū Kijima, Souo Matsuo, Hiroyuki Nishimoto and other people from the Film Division had already arrived, as well as people from the Script Creation Center. several employees.

As soon as Nagayama Naoki came in, he was stared at by several pairs of eyes. For a while, even with his shamelessness, he was a little unbearable:

“Private Marseille, traffic jam. I haven’t been out during the morning rush hour for a long time. I didn’t expect such a traffic jam.”

Hearing this, Itou Shuichi suddenly seemed to be possessed by some memory, and said with a wicked smile:

"Eh? Traffic jam? Naoki-san, it turns out that driving a Rolls-Royce can also cause traffic jams!"

"."

"Hahaha~"

Yoshimura Otomo couldn't help laughing when he heard it. Although the joke about riding a Mazda in traffic jams was not used in "Hayatoden", Nagayama Naoki naturally told the two of them.

Now it's like the dark history of his youth was brought out by his best friend to make fun of himself!

"Xiu Yi-san, this year's year-end bonus will give you a Mazda!"

Nagayama Naoki sat down with several black lines on his forehead.

"Hahaha~"

Fangcun Dayou is even happier~

Other employees, such as Kyū Kijima and Masataka Komori, looked at these three people with confusion.

Of course, in Neon, who was good at reading the air, they obviously saw that this was an interesting matter between the three big guys, but no one dared to ask.

As for Ueda Kota, who was least familiar with the script creation center, he felt a little envious in his heart.

"Is the year-end bonus Mazda? Naoki-san and Shuichi-san have such a good relationship~"

After the fun ended, today's script review meeting officially began.

Ueda Kota took out the scripts that Itou Shuichi had seen before, "Black House", "Midnight Ring 3", "The Unjust", "Violent Community", "Snowy Night", as well as the newly added "Ghost Bride" and " "The Unfortunate".

"Mina-san, these are the scripts completed by the Script Center." Ueda Kota, who served as the host of the meeting, said, "This review meeting is to evaluate whether these scripts can be included in next year's shooting plan."

Itou Shuichi said to Nagayama Naoki beside him:

"The previously mentioned "Black House" has been handed over to Souo Matsuo, and filming will begin after the film festival."

Next to him, Souo Matsuo nodded and smiled shyly at Naoki Nagayama.

"Hmm~"

Nagayama Naoki didn't care much about this kind of low-budget movie, so he took the script in front of him and started reading it.

However, Itou Shuichi hadn't finished speaking yet and continued:

"There is something I wanted to discuss with you at the full moon party, but there was no atmosphere to talk about work that day, so I have put it off until now."

"?" Naoki Nagayama asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"

"It's your script for "Across the World". Do you think it will start filming? As a movie to start the year? Then who will be handed over to film it?"

Hearing this, the eyes of Kyū Kijima and Masataka Komori suddenly lit up, and they looked at Naoki Nagayama with fiery eyes.

The two of them also know that Shuichi Itou is currently focusing on the development of the animation business and will not be able to make movies himself. Naoki-san himself is obviously addicted to raising children, so it is impossible to film!

So look around, Matsuo Souo already has "Black House", and Nishimoto Banyuki, who has little experience and Shuyu has the strength and qualifications to take on this project, who else besides the two of them? !

Among them, Komori Masataka is even more looking forward to it, because Kijima Kyor has just finished filming "Tiger of Ginza"!

So his eyes are now loudly conveying messages such as "Look at me!" "I'm here!" "Look at this baby"!

But Kijima Xu was not to be outdone, his eyes expressed:

"I have finished filming and am now free." "A professional, no need to rest." "I will definitely live up to the company's cultivation."

Nagayama Naoki raised his head, saw the eyes of the two people, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly:

"This one"

"As expected, I should write the script of "Across the World" by myself!"

"???"X4

All the other employees present looked over, and the eyes of Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyor were even more unbelievable.

"Eh? Naoki-san, didn't you say you would take pictures for others?"

"Ha, don't I regret it?!"

Nagayama Naoki's unscrupulous tone makes people want to hit people, but there is no way, after all, it is his script, and Nagayama Naoki is still the boss

"Naoki-san" Masataka Komori begged softly.

"Masaka-kun, don't be so sad, there are still so many scripts."

"."

But those scripts are different from those written by Naoki-san!

It was Yoshimura Otomo who interrupted:

"Naoki-san, stop teasing them. Aren't you going to make "Jurassic Park" for your next movie?"

"Haha~"

Amidst Nagayama Naoki's laughter, Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyor realized that they had just been tricked.

"The movie "Across the World" was very difficult to shoot." Naoki Nagayama said seriously. This movie was converted from a Hong Kong film. He looked at Masataka Komori and said, "Masataka-kun, you have to work hard!"

"!"

It’s settled, it’s time to hand over this movie to Masataka Komori! Komori Masataka suddenly laughed, while Kijima Kyun next to him sighed. He also knew that he had little chance.

"Arigado, Naoki-san, I will do my best to take pictures!"

Komori Masataka took photos of her breasts to express her stance.

"Yeah, come on~"

Please...you...collect 6...books...!

After saying this, Naoki Nagayama lowered his head and read the script again, while Shuichi Itou motioned to the stunned Ueda Kota to continue explaining the script.

Kota Ueda was a senior editor who had just joined the company and had not had much contact with Nagayama Naoki, yet he was able to decide the ownership of a movie in just a few sentences. This kind of discussion without any discussion still surprised him.

"Ah, "Midnight Ring 3" is a sequel. The two scripts "The Injustice" and "Violent Street" are both extended from the concept of "Hot Blood High School". They are both movies about bad culture."

"Then "Snowy Night" is a love story" ""The Ghost Bride" is not a pure horror story like the name. It is a romance film about the love between humans and ghosts."

Nagayama Naoki was a little surprised when he heard this: "The love between humans and ghosts?"

"Hi." Kota Ueda continued to explain, "It was a newlywed couple who encountered an accident during their wedding. The groom survived and the bride died, but the bride turned into a ghost to continue their love."

"Hmm"

The love between man and ghost is over?

It kind of means this!

Nagayama Naoki took the script of "The Ghost Bride" and read it carefully. This movie is very famous and has been remade in various regions.

The neon version is a bit more scary and weird, but from the story structure, it is indeed a love between humans and ghosts.

"This script is quite interesting." Naoki Nagayama said, "But since it's about love, the thriller part in it should be weakened."

"Also change your name. Don't be so scary. I thought you were going to wear a red wedding dress to claim your life."

".Ahem," Itou Shuichi reminded from the side, "Naoki-san, the wedding dress is white."

"It's even scarier! Red and white are very scary elements when used well. Have you ever heard of red and white evil spirits?"

“Not this one”

After all, neon weddings and celebrations are all done in white~

"Anyway, this script needs to be revised. Once it's revised, it can be filmed," Naoki Nagayama said, then turned around and saw Nishimoto Banko, who seemed to have no works. "The filming cost of the movie is not high, so I will let Nishimoto-kun do it when the time comes." Come and shoot and try to make it in time for Christmas.”

Romance movies, no matter how good the shooting effect is, as long as the movie is released and it can get some applause and box office before the economy collapses, it is a good choice for new directors.

What's more, Neon is now the time when women have the highest status~

I definitely want to go see a movie on Christmas or Valentine’s Day~

"Arigado!"

Nishimoto Banko immediately became excited. Unexpectedly, it was his turn this time. It seemed that his good days were coming!

In the next hour, in this small conference room, Shuyou Pictures’ shooting plan from the end of the year to next year was roughly laid out!

At the end of the year, there will be the low-budget horror film "Black House" and "The End of the World", at the beginning of next year it will be "Across the World", in the summer it will be "The Streets", and in the second half of the year Naoki Nagayama's "Jurassic Park" will be released The shooting started.

The sequel "Midnight Ring 3", the gangster film "The Unjust", the pure romance film "Snowy Night" and the reality film "The Unfortunate" were all rejected. Naoki Nagayama felt that there was nothing new.

There are other new scripts that can be temporarily added next year.

When the meeting was over, Nagayama Naoki stopped Itou Shuichi:

"Shuichi-san, the progress of animation adaptation."

"The drawing has already started." Itou Shuichi said, "Naoki-san, you know that animation requires a lot of drawing and the progress cannot be made quickly!"

"really."

Naoki Nagayama nodded. There was nothing he could do about it. Animation in this era was almost purely artificial and couldn't be fast.

When computers evolve into the 21st century, they may become slightly faster.

"The department is just above. Naoki-san, do you want to go take a look?"

"You're already here, so of course you want to take a look!"

In this way, Nagayama Naoki followed Itou Shuichi to the floor of Shuyou Animation Division.

It’s been a while since I last saw you. The place is already filled with the aroma of ink, and there are all kinds of unfamiliar machines.

Although Nagayama Naoki has watched many animated movies in the future, he really doesn’t know much about animation production.

If the production of film films is relatively transparent, for animated films you can really only see the final film, because the middle process is all just sheets of manuscript paper.

"Gosho-kun!" Itou Shuichi called out the person in charge Gosho Aoyama, "Let me report to Naoki-san on the current progress of the adaptation of "Slam Dunk"!"

"Hi!"

Gosho Aoyama immediately and seriously led Naoki Nagayama to a group of painters who were painting. Naoki Nagayama leaned over and took a look. The painter was painting a scene of playing basketball on a basketball court.

"Naoki-san, thanks to the comics as a reference, the animation style has been determined and the action design of each character has begun."

In comics, the trajectory of playing basketball only needs to be drawn with a few trajectory lines, but in animation, it is necessary to draw the moving picture of the basketball frame by frame, as well as the movements of the characters, and the background and characters must be drawn separately. Work The quantity is too big!

"Gangchang-kun, do you think the animation adaptation can be completed this year?"

"."

Aoyama Gouchang is in a bit of a dilemma, there are less than three months until the end of the year!

"Naoki-san, the animation business department has just started. Everyone is still in the running-in period, and the artist's painting style also needs time to adjust. So it will be a bit difficult to produce results this year."

"Well" Nagayama Naoki nodded, not harshly, "Then it's always okay to at least make a few minutes of footage like a trailer, right?"

"Of course there is no problem with this." Gosho Aoyama was a little surprised, "But since there is no animation, what do you need a trailer for?"

"Let's make a MV!"

Nagayama Naoki smiled and said, no one has thought that the MV can also be made with animation, right?

"I have one more promise to keep!"

After this year's "Sound of Neon" ended, he agreed that the winning song would be one of the songs that are now the theme song of "Slam Dunk"!

By the way, it seems like I haven’t recalled anything for a long time? Is it because you are older?

Summer thunderstorms always come quickly and violently. The heavy raindrops that pour down with the bursts of thunder hit the soil and ground diagonally and break into dense water vapor, and then blow in the face with a rough and fresh breath in the strong wind. Come.

Nagayama Naoki opened the glass partition door and took a breath of fresh air. He felt that the hot summer air was brought out of the body with his breathing~

Suddenly a burst of thunder burst out of the sky, and the lightning first entered Nagayama Naoki's eyes, and then the thunder followed, which shocked people!

Then no surprise.

"Wow~~Wow~~~Wow~~"

The cries of the little princess of the Nagayama family began to ring through the Yamazakura courtyard

"Eh eh eh?!"

Nagayama Naoki immediately hurriedly closed the glass partition door and rushed towards the crib. He saw the little Xia Hua on the crib moving around with her hands and feet, opening her mouth and crying, so she quickly picked her up and comforted her.

At the same time, Akina also walked down from the second floor, still asking:

"Are you scared?"

"There must have been thunder just now." I didn't dare to say that I opened the partition door at this time!

Akina quickly took Xiaoxiahua from Naoki Nagayama's arms, and then coaxed her softly.

"It's okay, it's just thundering. Mom is here. Mom is here."

After coaxing him for several minutes, the little guy slowly stopped crying and fell asleep with his eyes closed as if he was tired of crying.

"Thunder. I was also afraid of it when I was a child. But when I grow up, I'm not afraid anymore."

Akina, who was sitting on the sofa, had time to talk to Nagayama Naoki,

"Was Naoki-san afraid of thunder when he was a child?"

"Well, I shouldn't be afraid."

When there was thunder in the sky when he was a child, he would point to the sky and shout, "Where is this fellow Taoist who is going to save the tribulation here?"

"Have you always been so courageous since childhood?" Akina kissed the baby in her arms, "It would be great if Hana-chan could inherit this trait."

"Then he will become a tomboy."

Naoki Nagayama smiled and said,

"It's better to be timid."

"It's not good to be too weak."

Inadvertently, the two began to talk about their daughter's future.

This situation seems to be very common among couples who have given birth to children. It feels like the focus has been on the children since the birth. (End of chapter)
