Chapter 513 512, Missing Naoki Nagayama Four or Five Times a Day
Chapter 513 512, I miss Naoki Naoyama four or five times a day.
By the way, let the driving school teach people how to drive. It is easy to raise blood pressure when teaching people to drive.
In the end, Naoki Naoyama just let Akina hold the steering wheel at the lowest speed. Two cameras were installed in the car to finish the simple dialogue scenes.
Next, it was time to go to Fujii Itsuki's house~
Behind the tombstone not far away, Numata Hatsuyo took a few photos and turned to ask his companion: "Victory, I remember that Nakamori Akina is just 18 years old. She should not have a driver's license. Is driving like this considered driving without a license?"
"." The tall and thin companion looked at Numata Hatsuyo speechlessly, "This is filming and not on the road"
The paparazzi shrugged: "The public doesn't know, 'Top idol driving without a license!', how attractive the title is!"
Kawano Victory said contemptuously: "The various customs in the entertainment industry are spoiled by paparazzi like you!"
"Then do you want to sell it to newspapers?"
".Yes."
In the studio in Tokyo, Yoshimura Otomo welcomed Tetsuya Komuro, who rarely saw him.
"Otomo-san, I brought the alternative songs for Chikako Aoyama's first album and the related record samples." Tetsuya Komuro had dark circles under his eyes, and he must have not slept well for a long time. "And the new song "ありがとう (Thank you)" given to me before is also included."
It is indeed a bit too much to directly bypass the record producer to decide the title song. Obviously, the songs he created and the music scores he chose are also very excellent.
However, after learning that it was Naoki Nagayama's creation, Tetsuya Komuro sighed in his heart, it's really no match!
Before at Being Records, all the final decisions were made by Nagato Daiyuki, and this was the first time that he followed Naoki Naoki's instructions. This time, Tetsuya Komuro came to confirm the final version:
"When will Naoki-san come back?"
Yoshimura Otomo rubbed his temples. It seemed that the previous records were not so troublesome. There were no demos, covers, choreography, and so many things that had to be confirmed over and over again.
Did Tetsuya Komuro learn a lot of "formal procedures" at Being Records? Wasn't it Naoki Naoki who did it directly before?
Now I know the trouble Naoki-san had when making albums for idols!
"Naoki-san is still shooting in Otaru, and he probably won't be back until the day after tomorrow." Yoshimura Otomo recalled the process, "Let's put these samples and design drafts here first, and I'll show them to him when he comes back."
"This" Tetsuya Komuro wanted to say that these things were very urgent, but Naoki Naoki was not here, and there was really nothing he could do.
"Komuro-kun." Yoshimura Otomo briefly talked to the young man about Naoki Nagayama's work style, "Naoki-san is a person who only looks at the results. Generally speaking, he will only take a final look."
"Huh?" Tetsuya Komuro was surprised, "Don't you have to revise and adjust again and again."
"You are responsible for all these! Naoki-san is a person who trusts people. Since he has entrusted the production of Chikako-chan's album to you, he believes in your ability!" Yoshimura Otomo said firmly.
"This!!!" Tetsuya Komuro suddenly felt the urge to die for his confidant, "I understand! I will never let Naoki-san down!"
After Tetsuya Komuro fooled him away, Yoshimura Otomo wiped the sweat from his forehead. He actually knew that Naoki Nagayama was just lazy! As long as the final result was acceptable, he would not adjust it again and again!
"Oh, the work is getting harder and harder!"
As Shuyou Films grew bigger and bigger, Yoshimura Otomo really felt the limitations of his ability. His decades of experience as an agent could not help him much.
"Should I go to a training class or something? I heard there are management training courses in the United States."
A strange idea popped up in his head. Yoshimura Otomo was daydreaming when the door of the office rang again.
Hayano Riko walked in:
"Otomo-san, the poster design of "Midnight Ring" has been completed. Please review it."
"." It was another troublesome thing. "Hey, bring it here."
There were six or seven advertisement designs for "Midnight Ring" on the desk. They were all directly selected from the filming materials of the movie and then designed. Naoki Naoyama really didn't want to shoot it specially.
It should have been decided by Ido Shuichi and Naoki Naoyama, but these two guys went to shoot new movies.
"Hmm"
The creepy designs made this middle-aged man in his 50s feel his heart tighten every time.
In fact, it is very simple to choose, just find the one you think is the scariest!
"This one, this one and this one." Yoshimura Otomo selected several designs that were seen from the well, seen on TV, and seen in photos.
Hayano Riko nodded and put away the poster design, "Otomo-san, these designs will be sent to Dentsu for advertising production. It is expected to be completed this week, and then promoted for a week. It will just catch up with the Christmas schedule."
"However, has the movie "Midnight Ring" been completed?"
"Ah, don't worry, when I said last time, only the opening and ending credits were left." Yoshimura Otomo smiled, "Wait until Naoki-san and others come back the day after tomorrow, it will be completed soon!"
"Hi!"
After seeing off Hayano Riko, Yoshimura Otomo glanced at the empty desk next to him. It had only been less than an hour in the morning, and it was already the third time that he missed Nagayama Naoki~
Just at this time,
"Jingle Bell!"
The phone on the desk startled Yoshimura Otomo. He had already watched the edited version of "The Ring" in advance, so he was naturally very wary of the midnight phone call in the film, but luckily it was morning now.
"Moses Moses, this is Tree Friends Pictures."
"Moses Moses, this is Kuniji Morikawa, editor of Shogakukan." A relatively unfamiliar voice came from the phone, "Is it Minister Yoshimura?"
"Hi, I am. Editor Morikawa is here to see Naoki-san?" Kuniji Morikawa had also called the office before, so Yoshimura Otomo had some impressions.
"Yes, I called Naoki-san's Yamazakuin several times, but couldn't get in touch with him, so I took the liberty of calling your company."
In this era without mobile phones, it is indeed a bit troublesome to find someone. Apart from home, the only way is through work phone.
People who don’t have landlines or jobs disappear and no one knows about them.
"Ah, Naoki-san is filming a movie in Otaru this week, so he is not in Tokyo for the time being." Yoshimura Otomo told him directly, "Is Editor Morikawa looking for him with something urgent?"
"Hey, regarding the novel signing event, we need to confirm the schedule with Naoki-san." Kuniji Morikawa said, "Time is already very tight."
"In that case, I'll give you their temporary address's phone number."
The old bungalow was naturally equipped with a telephone.
After hanging up the phone, Yoshimura Otomo shook his head. This was the fourth time today that he thought of Nagayama Naoki!
From a gentle and intellectual city girl to a simple and smart small town girl, just one change of clothes is enough.
Naoki Nagayama looked at Akina Nakamori who had put on a loose and colorful woolen coat and a plaid shawl, with a smile on her face:
"When Akina changes like this, it feels like she grew up in a small country town."
"I grew up in a rural town!" Akina, who was putting on makeup, didn't care about her origin at all. "I feel comfortable wearing clothes like this."
Maki Ueda was helping with makeup. She really wanted to tidy up her hair. Naoki Nagayama hurried over and messed it up with his hands:
"It's better if it's a little messy."
Akina shook her head and ran away from Nagayama Naoki: "Naoki-san, don't touch girls' heads casually!"
Naoki Nagayama was curious: "What's wrong? Is Akina still worried that she won't grow taller?"
"You're going to be stupid!"
"Clumsy people are cute!"
Maki Ueda looked confused next to her. She had just eaten breakfast, and eating dog food at this time was a bit overwhelming!
Today I was specifically shooting scenes for the female version of Fujii. Most of them were in old houses, and some small parts were in the school library and hospital. The filming was from morning to night, and the task was still a bit tight.
In addition to Akina Nakamori, two experienced actors were also invited to play Fujii's mother and grandfather.
The early morning sunlight passed through the old glass and was divided into square light pillars by the grille. It shone into the study room full of books and messy furniture. The fine dust flying in the sun shone like it was scattered in the air. The same as the gold powder in it.
Fujii, who had a cold, opened the letter sent to him.
"Jingle Bell!"
Nagayama Naoki and Itou Shuichi who were behind the camera were shocked by the call. They looked at each other and then stared at Komori Masataka. They didn't even check the props on the set. This was the fault of the executive director!
The phone was still ringing. Masataka Komori said Smith Marseille with a close look in his eyes, and then quickly ran over to answer the phone.
Just when Nagayama Naoki was about to let Akina start performing, Komori Masataka ran over:
"Naoki-san, the call is for you."
"." Nagayama Naoki's expression remained unchanged, "Everyone take a five-minute break."
I answered the call in a very retro style: "Moses Moses, this is Naoki Nagayama."
"Ah, Naoki-san, it's Kuniji Morikawa." The old editor's voice came over the phone, "I finally found you~"
Baffled by this sigh, Naoki Nagayama asked: "Kuniji-san, I'm in Hokkaido this week. Do you have any business with me?"
"It's the autograph session I mentioned before!" Kuniji Morikawa said anxiously, "There's only a little more than a month left at the end of the year. It's best to decide on the time for the autograph session."
"It doesn't mean at the beginning of next year."
"Yeah, but it's best to confirm the time and location this year. After all, our literary world is different from the entertainment world. It takes longer to invite book fans and promote the book signing, as well as the guests to be invited and the booking of the venue. It also takes time to prepare, so a month in advance is already quite stressful.”
Kuniji Morikawa's tone contained a certain self-confidence unique to the literary world, silently despising the entertainment industry.
However, the more Naoki Nagayama listened, the more he felt something was wrong: "Uh, Kuniji-san, isn't it a book signing? Why does it feel a little different? There are also guests and venue reservations."
"Naoki-san, you are a recipient of the Naoki Prize. How could you just be doing autograph signings in a roadside bookstore?" Kuniji Morikawa seemed even more surprised than Nagayama Naoki, "Of course you are going to the university and talking to students. Let’s work together and invite guests to interview and discuss together.”
Nagayama Naoki was a little stunned. He really thought he was in a bookstore, just signing autographs behind a table!
"Bonzhi-san, my research on novels is not that deep." Although I have read a lot of novels, if I want to seriously discuss the development of novels, the secret will be revealed!
"Haha, don't worry, Naoki-san. This is not an academic seminar. We invite guests to chat and share with the students their original intentions and opinions on writing novels."
Kuniji Morikawa quickly comforted Naoki Nagayama. Indeed, it is too difficult for a young man in his early 20s to tell the future trend of novels.
“Actually, it’s almost like an artist’s fan meeting~”
"."
After listening to the old editor on the phone talking a lot, Naoki Nagayama felt at ease. Finally, he was not like later generations, who had to prepare a PPT and then give a lecture or something like that.
Finally, we made an appointment to discuss the book signing in person when we return to Tokyo.
After hanging up the phone, Naoki Nagayama realized that everyone seemed to be waiting for him.
"Ah, there were some matters to be dealt with in Tokyo just now~" Nagayama Naoki did not delay everyone's work at all. He felt very embarrassed and said shamelessly, "Everyone has a rest, right? Let's continue shooting!"
"嘁~~"
A soft voice came out, and Nagayama Naoki's eyes narrowed. It was definitely coming from Itou Shuichi!
Nakamori Akina seems to be very adaptable to becoming a small town girl, and she was also very relaxed during the filming process, showing all the lightness and agility of a small place.
I went to school in the afternoon and met the teachers and junior students, and I was able to do it with ease.
The difficulty of today's shooting was actually the scene at night when the heroine fainted from a high fever and her mother and grandfather carried her to the hospital in a blizzard.
Since there was no natural snow, the set naturally used snowmaking machines, and then let helicopters rise into the air to create raging winds.
The crew tried their best to protect the camera and filmed the scene of the grandfather carrying the heroine to the hospital under dim street lights.
If this grandfather were not a middle-aged actor wearing makeup, Naoki Nagayama would not believe that an almost 70-year-old man could carry his adult granddaughter and run for forty minutes in a snowstorm!
When the filming was completed, Naoki Nagayama handed Akina, who was wrapped in a quilt, a cup of hot milk:
"Akina, are you feeling better?"
"Silly tape!" Nakamori Akina said energetically after taking a sip of hot milk, "I was wrapped in a quilt the whole time! I didn't catch a cold at all."
".My face and hands are obviously red from the cold~"
Nagayama Naoki stood behind the sofa and put his hands on Akina's ears and cheeks. The tentacles felt cold and delicate.
Although she was a little shy, Akina was still very surprised, then she put down the milk in her hand and put her own hand up: "Naoki-san, why are your hands so warm?"
Generally speaking, girls will have cold hands and feet in winter, and Akina is no exception if she is not in good health.
"Maybe because I am a hot-blooded Showa man?" Naoki Nagayama said a joke and covered Akina's cold hands~
"Haha~"
Akina, who had a low sense of humor, was extremely happy. On the other hand, the manager Akiko Fusunori had stopped paying attention to his idol for a long time. He was already in contact with the work in the next few days.
"Naoki-san, are you going back tomorrow?" Akina Nakamori raised her head and looked at her boyfriend behind her.
"Well, I'll take some more shots in the morning and we'll be done~"
"I'm going back soon. This week has gone by so fast."
Akina sighed softly. In the two years since her debut, it is indeed very rare to be so relaxed for a whole week, even if she is filming a movie.
"It's almost the end of the year. There's the Song Festival and the Red and White Song Festival when we get back. There's still a lot to do!"
"Yes, there are still many things to do. I won't be able to see Naoki-san again~"
The atmosphere suddenly fell into silence.
After a while, Nagayama Naoki gently squeezed Akina's hand: "Akina, how about we take a helicopter ride together when we go back tomorrow?"
"Huh?" Akina turned around in surprise.
"Although the whole journey was very difficult, we could fly to Miyagi. I heard the grilled beef tongue there is delicious and then take the high-speed train back to Tokyo!"
Nagayama Naoki whispered to Akina, "Just the two of us will go!"
Akina didn't make a sound, but her little head nodded happily~
