Chapter 507 506, No Matter What, This Is Too Extravagant, Right?
Naoki Nagayama really didn't run away like Idou Shuichi did. In the following week, he was in the editing room almost every day, editing "Midnight Ring" with them day and night.
"Naoki-san, it's almost time. Let's stop here today." Idou Shuichi said to Naoki Nagayama.
"Ah, it's time to get off work~" Naoki Nagayama yawned, stood up and stretched, "Then let's stop here!"
Turning around and asking Komori Masataka: "Masataka-kun, how much do we have left?"
"Well, about five days." Komori Masataka checked the progress, "After adding the opening and ending credits, the preliminary editing version will be completed."
"Masataka-kun, Shuichi-san, we have to work hard! Try to edit "Midnight Ring" this week!"
The two people in the editing room looked at Naoki Nagayama in confusion,
"Naoki-san said before that he would go to Otaru the day after tomorrow?" Komori Masataka asked honestly, "It will take four or five days to go there"
"."
This kid doesn't know how to agree with the leader at all, how can he get promoted like this? !
"Masataka-kun, when you listen to someone, you should pay attention to the key points! Otherwise, how can you be a famous director?!" Naoki Nagayama remained calm, "My key point is to speed up! Anyway, the Christmas schedule must not be missed!"
What does this have to do with being a famous director? Komori Masataka was puzzled, but he still replied wisely:
"Hi!"
After fooling the two, Naoki Nagayama returned to Yamazakurain with a sense of ease.
Patting Yingtaro who ran over with his tail wagging, Naoki Nagayama rubbed the dog's head that felt good in his hands: "Yingtaro, I'm back~"
"Woof! Woof!"
Although he didn't know what his master was saying, he just had to laugh at this time, so Yingtaro grinned and stuck out his tongue, revealing the iconic silly smile of Labrador.
"Hahaha, but I'm going out soon, so I'll probably have to ask Tsuruko to look after you again~"
Nagayama Naoki had never seen how Yingtaro and Tsuruko got along in private, but when he said the keyword "Tsuruko", Yingtaro obviously trembled, and then his smile disappeared, and he started to "whimper" aggrievedly.
"Why, are you so scared of Tsuruko?"
Nagayama Naoki scratched the dog's chin, but the action that usually made this silly dog so comfortable that he exposed his belly didn't work at this time.
Looking at Yingtaro's aggrieved look, Naoyama Naoki couldn't help but reconsider whether to hand the dog over to his resentful sister.
"But I'm worried about leaving you and Neontaro here alone!"
This shoot is estimated to take about five days.
"My sister-in-law just gave birth to a nephew, so it's not convenient to go back home. If I find a friend to foster him, it will be even more troublesome~"
Naoki Nagayama thought about it and suddenly thought:
"Yingtaro, why not take you to Otaru City too! Together with Neontaro!"
The cat and dog at home really haven't been out much. They stay in Yamazakurain and the nearby park all day, which is quite pitiful~
After hearing this news, Yingtaro naturally became happy again, and even Neontaro, who was lying on the sofa like Ge You, looked over.
After thinking about this, Naoki Nagayama began to think about how to take them there?
High-speed rail does not allow pets, and it seems unreliable to check in by plane. It's impossible to drive there by yourself. Can I fly a plane myself?
"Huh? Fly a plane?"
Flying there seems to be a good idea!
It's impossible for Naoki Nagayama to learn how to fly a plane right away, but he can rent one!
"Just right! When filming "Love Letter", some shots need to be shot from high altitude!"
Naoki Nagayama quickly found an excuse for renting a helicopter.
"I took Utarou and Meowtarou with me, just happened to be on the way!"
With this idea in mind, Naoki Nagayama immediately took action.
Japan's territory is not large, so small and medium-sized airlines rely on large airlines to survive. The owners of charter flights in this era are mainly large companies and travel agencies, but in capitalist countries, as long as you have money, you can charter a route!
Naoki Nagayama had never been involved in aircraft leasing before, so he could only call the customer service number of Japan's All Nippon Airways (ANA) directly, and then found a company that provides helicopter rental services after inquiries.
"Hi, I do want to rent a helicopter."
"Hi, I need a helicopter that can be equipped with a camera for filming a movie."
"Hi, fly from Tokyo to Otaru City and stay there for about a week."
"Eh? Is it too far? It takes 5 hours to fly?"
Naoki Nagayama talked to the rental company for a long time on the phone, and finally decided on a Bell 206 light helicopter.
A very mature light multi-purpose helicopter with a small fuselage, simple operation, convenient docking, and because it is installed in many places in Japan, there are also many pilots.
Although the flight speed is only more than 200 kilometers per hour, it has to stop twice in the middle, but just take it as a break from driving~
"Then Mr. Naoki Nagayama can come over tomorrow to confirm the model, and we will sign the contract."
The guy on the other side of the microphone is Sugiyama Yuma, a salesperson for All Nippon Airways (ANA) charter business, "Are you free at 10 am?"
"Okay, then see you at 10 am tomorrow."
Early the next morning, Nagayama Naoki drove to the studio and talked about it with Itou Shuichi.
"Rent a helicopter from Tokyo? Fly directly to Otaru, Hokkaido?"
Itou Shuichi was obviously shocked by the news, "Naoki-san, is there such a business? Even if there is, the cost is not cheap, right?!"
"Of course. As long as you have money in this country, you can fly to Mount Fuji, let alone Hokkaido." Nagayama Naoki curled his lips, "But it's a bit expensive. If you include the pilot, it will cost about 1,000. It’s more than 10,000 yen.”
"?!" Itou Shuichi opened his mouth, "This will almost catch up with the entire production cost of "The Ring"!"
"Otherwise, how can we call it a big production!" Nagayama Naoki didn't really care, but he still said, "After all, it's for really high-quality shots!"
"No matter what, this is too luxurious, isn't it?" Otomo Yoshimura on the other side said at this time: "Naoki-san, can't we rent it from Hokkaido?"
If I rent it from Hokkaido, how can I fly there with Yotaro and Meowtaro?
Naoki Nagayama said silently in his heart, but he could not say this reason in public.
"The price of renting from Hokkaido is about the same as renting in Tokyo. Anyway, I rented a plane for a week, plus the pilot's fee." Naoki Nagayama said, "From Tokyo, you can just fly there by helicopter."
After finishing speaking, he looked directly at Itou Shuichi: "Shuichi-san, do you want to take a helicopter with me?"
"Forehead"
Yi Tangxiu was speechless. Although he also felt that it was very luxurious, he was still a little moved.
Nagayama Naoki said at this time: "The money has been spent anyway, it would be a pity not to sit!"
The only investor in the filming of "Love Letter" this time was Naoki Nagayama, so he had the final say on how to spend the money. It was all his money anyway.
"Okay then." Yi Tangxiu nodded and agreed.
Ignoring what Yoshimura Otomo next to him said, "You don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are when you're not a family," "You don't know how to be restrained when you get rich," and "spending money indiscriminately." Naoki Nagayama directly took Itou Shuichi's Komori Masataka and went out. .
Itou Shuichi sat in the passenger seat and asked with interest:
"Are we going to the port area now?"
"Well, let's go to the public helicopter airport in Shin-Kiba, Koto-ku, Tokyo, first check out the model of the aircraft, and then sign a lease contract." Naoki Nagayama has already made an appointment with the salesman, "By the way, I want to get to know the pilot, after all. We’ve been together for a week.”
"Speaking of which, I have never filmed on a helicopter." Itou Shuichi was very curious, "I don't know if the space is big enough and if there are any fixed equipment."
"It is said that the Bell 206 light helicopter supports surveying and mapping work, so it should be fine." Naoki Nagayama smiled, "If it doesn't work, just tie it up with a rope."
Itou Shuichi laughed: "Then you have to tie yourself up too~"
"Hahaha~"
"Naoki-san, Shuichi-san, won't you be editing today?" Masataka Komori, a good boy, is still worried about editing.
"Didn't I say that only the opening and ending credits are left? There's nothing to be anxious about!" Naoki Nagayama said to him, "Today we are going to prepare a shot that will remain in film history. As a film worker, aren't you excited? You can’t become a famous director like this!”
"." Komori Masataka didn't expect to be PUA for caring about the editing progress, and muttered in a low voice, "You are the one who said to speed up, and you are also the one who said there is no rush.
They say you can become a famous director by focusing on key points, but now they say that you can become a famous director only by shooting scenes that will remain in film history."
Naoki Nagayama was driving, and Masataka Komori was sitting in the back seat. I didn’t hear what he said in such a low voice:
"Masaka-kun, what are you talking about?"
"Ah, I'm thinking about what to eat for lunch."
"." Nagayama Naoki was speechless for a moment, and said earnestly, "Masataka-kun, you always care about food, but you can't be a famous director!"
"."
Masataka Komori finally understood the truth: he can't be a famous director!
When we arrived at Shin-Kiba's public helicopter airport, after reporting our name at the service desk in the lobby, Yuma Sugiyama soon walked out of the building wearing an aviation uniform.
"What are you doing, Sora? I am Yuma Sugiyama, a salesperson from ANA." Yuma Sugiyama looked at the three people in front of him and asked very respectfully, "Which one is Mr. Naoki Nagayama?"
"Hi, I'm Naoki Nagayama. It's our first time meeting him. Please give me some advice." Naoki Nagayama stretched out his hand to shake hands with him, and then introduced, "These are Shuichi Itou and Masataka Komori, they are here with me. "
"first meet."
After shaking hands with everyone one by one, Sugiyama Yuma led several people to the reception room and served drinks: "Nagayama-san, please wait a moment, the pilot will be here soon. The pilot I am looking for is a senior pilot with ten years of flying experience. A pilot!"
"Hey, that's good. Our shooting this time is a bit difficult and we need experienced people." Naoki Nagayama said with a smile.
"Is this your first time renting a helicopter, Nagayama-san?" Sugiyama Yuma greeted him a little, "If you talk about the difficulty, under what circumstances is it probably?"
"You have to keep hovering in snowy weather, and you have to take off and land in mountains."
Nagayama Naoki talked about a lot of the difficulties he thought, but Sugiyama Yuma did not frown, but breathed a sigh of relief:
"If this is the case, there is no problem with our pilots. The Bell 206 light helicopter is still very suitable for this scenario."
"That's great. Then there's no problem if we fly directly from Tokyo to Otaru, right?"
"Ha, of course. At full speed, refueling about once is enough. It still takes 5 hours."
Sugiyama Yuma was introducing the performance of his helicopter when a serious middle-aged man with white hair and wearing a flight suit walked into the reception room:
"Yongzhen-san, the plane has been inspected."
Sugiyama Yuma nodded, and then introduced to Nagayama Naoki, "Nagayama-san, this is the pilot Suda Kazuhiko I'm talking about. He has ten years of helicopter flying experience and has never had an accident!"
Nonsense, if there is an accident, you will die!
Nagayama Naoki stood up and shook hands with Suda Kazuhiko: "Suda-san, I'll trouble you this time!"
"This is what I should do." Suda Kazuhiko answered seriously and without a smile.
Sugiyama Yuma smiled and said: "Nagayama-san, let Kazuhiko-san take you to see the helicopter, and I will prepare the contract."
"Hi."
"Please go this way." Kazuhiko Suda didn't waste any more words and led a few people directly to the tarmac outside the airport. A red helicopter was parked inside the circle with an H.
"This was originally a rescue helicopter. It was eliminated when the police station was upgraded to the BK117. However, the aircraft has been maintained very well and is currently used for low-altitude sightseeing and short-distance flights."
Kazuhiko Suda took a few people on the plane while introducing him, "Nagayama-san, I can take you on a flight."
"Huh? Is that okay?" Nagayama Naoki became interested, "That would be troublesome."
After Naoki Nagayama and others got on the plane, Kazuhiko Suda notified the tower via radio and then started the plane.
The Bell 206 light helicopter can seat 6-8 people. Now it is very spacious with several people sitting in it. Itou Shuichi gestured to the position and said in the earphone:
"It seems like there is no problem in putting a camera, but it needs fixed equipment."
"Shuichi-san, check if we have any. If not, go buy some today." Nagayama Naoki was looking at the slowly shrinking buildings in the co-pilot, feeling very happy, "Helicopters are really different from airplanes!"
"The helicopter is more flexible!" Kazuhiko Suda actually laughed, "The operation feels better! The field of view is also better!"
"Haha, yes~"
Kazuhiko Suda flew a few circles with a few people, and then hovered above the apron for a while at Naoki Nagayama's request before ending the test flight.
Sugiyama Yuma is already waiting below.
"Yongshan-san, how are you feeling?"
"Haha, I'm very surprised~" Nagayama Naoki can still feel his heart beating rapidly, "Suda-san is also very professional!"
Sugiyama Yuma was also very satisfied with this answer: "Then if there is no problem, Nagayama-san, let's go sign the contract!"
"Well, let's go!"
After signing the contract in the conference room, Naoki Nagayama directly wrote a check and paid the down payment of 8 million.
The car I bought only cost over 8 million, and renting a plane for a week was so expensive.
