Chapter 531 529, In ​​Short, You Have Become a Laughing Stock in the Entertainment Industry!

As an ordinary spectator, Keinan Hirano came to the classroom of the Paranormal Research Club with two dark circles under his eyes. As a club that can only be participated in during leisure time, weekends are the time for group activities.

"Keinan-chan, what's wrong with you?" Team leader Masaaki Otake noticed the dark circles under her eyes, "Did you not sleep well last night?"

"I didn't sleep at all," Keinan Hirano complained. "I kept the lights on last night, so I was afraid that the TV would suddenly turn on and the phone would ring."

"Huh? Why?"

Keinan Hirano sighed: "Because I watched a horror movie called "The Ring"."

After watching "The Ring", Keinan Hirano originally thought it was very scary, but he relaxed a little and walked out of the cinema and had a late-night snack with his best friend.

However, when a person returns to the rental house, the TV in the living room, the video tapes on the TV cabinet, and the old-fashioned telephone on the coffee table look more and more like those in the movie. All these make the plot of "The Ring" appear in her mind. It reappeared in my mind.

So I kept the lights on, unplugged the power cord from the TV, turned the TV towards the wall, unplugged the phone cord, and took out the microphone.

Even so, I still feel that Sadako may come out from somewhere at any time!

I was confused for a while until the morning

After the group leader Masaaki Otake heard this, he was a little excited: "The horror movie "The Ring"?! It is said that the movie scared the famous director to the point of incontinence!! Is Keinan-chan real? Is it really that scary?"

The questions came out like a barrage, and the chat between the two also attracted many other members, who all looked over.

"Ah, you're talking about that director Fukasaku!" Keinan Hirano laughed, "He was sitting next to me when we were watching the movie, or I asked the cinema staff to carry him out. The "Midnight Ring" was indeed very special. It’s scary, but I didn’t expect it to really scare people like that~”

"Todoroki?!" Otake Masaaki was even more surprised, "So it's true!"

"Well, how did you know, Captain? You shouldn't be here, right?"

"Hahaha, I saw it on the "Fuji All Night" program, and we were discussing this matter last night. It was so exaggerated, I thought it was fake news." Masaaki Otake said with a smile, "I didn't expect it to be true. !”

At this time, a member of the group said: "It is indeed true. I saw it in today's newspaper! Although it was coded, the name was not mentioned. But from the details on the side, everyone knows that it is director Fukasaku Kinji!"

"Oh? Let us take a look!" Everyone asked him to take out the newspaper. This group of young people had not yet developed the habit of reading newspapers.

It wasn't until I saw the close-up of the pants in the photo and the picture of them being taken to the ambulance that the lively discussion started.

A well-known director was so frightened by the horror film that he became incontinent! This is the most interesting event today!

The entertainment industry never rests.

From the moment the incident occurred, relevant media outlets began to work hard, writing relevant reports overnight and printing urgently to ensure that the next day's morning paper could publish such news.

The first bite of Fuji TV's popular late-night live program attracted many viewers to call the TV station that night to inquire; and various newspapers officially started the widespread dissemination of hot news. People who are used to reading the morning newspapers are today I saw the entertainment headlines; and when these people were chatting with everyone, they spread the news a second time.

When people were sharing gossip this morning, most likely they were talking about this matter.

When everyone remembered this anecdote, they also remembered this horror movie called "The Ring". The curious guys were already thinking about when to watch it.

"Naoki-san, our reports have simply been submerged under this hot spot." Riko Hayano reported the news collected this morning to Naoki Nagayama, "The headlines you mentioned that aroused public opinion were completely treated as scraps~ "

Naoki Nagayama was also reading a newspaper: "Haha, how could I have thought that such explosive news would really break out? I thought that the most powerful thing would be that ordinary viewers would be frightened into cardiac arrest."

"Anyway, the popularity is already very high! The promotion of our movie can be said to be a great success!" Hayano Riko forced a smile on her lips, "I'm just a little sorry for Director Fukasaku."

Yoshimura Otomo closed the newspaper: "Anyway, we didn't report him here, right? We have done our best."

Itou Shuichi also nodded: "Yeah, the guy before actually wanted to snipe our "Hot Blood High School", this time he came to the preview screening and he was uneasy and well-intentioned.

I chatted with a film critic I know well before I left last night, and I heard that he had spoken out in front of some reporters this time, saying that he would severely criticize our horror film."

"Oh ho? So, he came here specially to watch "Midnight Ring"!" Nagayama Naoki was a little surprised, "Are you actually so hardworking? Shuichi-san, do you have a personal grudge with him?"

".No," Itou Shuichi said helplessly, "We have never met him. The only thing we know is that he was dissatisfied with us winning the Academy Award and the Blue Ribbon last time."

"Ah, that can only be said to be self-inflicted~" Naoki Nagayama shook his head~

Hayano Riko felt very satisfied after listening to some of the gossip from the boss: "So Naoki-san, Shuichi-san, will our reporting direction remain unchanged today and tomorrow?"

"Hey, let's follow our original direction. Let's not bully the elderly!"

"Hahaha~Okay~"

After Hayano Riko left, Naoki Nagayama talked to Idou Shuichi about this matter for quite a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that director Kinji Fukasaku is already socially dead in the entertainment industry.

No matter how good his directing talent is, when others mention him, they will think of "a director who was scared to death".

This stubborn impression cannot be changed!

"However, thanks to him, the movie "Midnight Ring" has finally become a household name." Idou Shuichi's face was still happy, "I think there is no problem with the premiere this weekend!"

"Yes, next week we will find that many people are very resistant to the sudden ringing of the phone~"

Naoki Nagayama breathed a sigh of relief. His previous wish for everyone to feel the "pain" of being scared by the phone was finally realized.

After the two finished chatting, they were going to the editing room to continue working on "Love Letter", but Yoshimura Otomo stopped them.

"Naoki-san, Shuichi-san, this year's year-end bonus has been distributed almost, let's take a look together!" Yoshimura Otomo took out a stack of documents.

"Oh? Is it ready?" Nagayama Naoki took it.

"Hey, this year's distribution to the film group is about 25 million, the idol group has 15 million, and the company's administrative staff is about 10 million." Yoshimura Otomo looked at Nagayama Naoki, "Naoki-san's disco has more than 10 million."

"More than 60 million." Ido Shuichi was surprised, "It's doubled compared to last year!"

"Haha, this year's profit is better, so it's a little more." The year-end bonus of Shuyou Film is linked to the company's profit.

"So much cash, do we still have to put it in an envelope?" Nagayama Naoki remembered the previous distribution method.

"Hey, if Naoki-san and Shuichi-san have no problem, I will ask Guangren-chan to withdraw the cash." Yoshimura Otomo said, "It will be distributed next Friday."

"Ah, I have no problem." Naoyama Naoki nodded, "It's just a pity that I can't receive the year-end bonus!"

"." Yoshimura Otomo and Idou Shuichi rolled their eyes together. You guys have made at least 6 billion this year!

Since the release date of "Love Letter" was announced at the film press conference, with the temperature dropping, the first snow in Tokyo may fall at any time, and Naoyama Naoki also wanted to finish editing the film as soon as possible.

So after a whole day of hard editing, he returned to Yamazakurain after dark.

However, the dim Yamazakurain in the shadow of bamboo does look really gloomy now, even if the landscape lights in the yard are turned on, it is not much better.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have watched it seriously yesterday!" Naoki Nagayama complained, "It makes me a little scared now!"

After opening the iron gate with the remote control, he thought again: "I will install remote control switches on the lights in Yama Sakura Courtyard, so that I can turn them on remotely before going back!"

Then he talked about smart home and humanized systems.

After getting off the car, I saw Yingtaro running over with his tail wagging, and suddenly I thought of a simpler way!

Why not let Yingtaro learn to turn on the lights! When I come back every day, just turn on the lights!

Thinking of this, Naoki Nagayama smiled kindly and rubbed the dog's head with his hands:

"Yingtaro, good dog, this family really can't live without you!!!"

After turning on all the lights in the living room, the brightly lit living room gave people a sense of security. In addition, the TV at home was the kind of super large screen, which was different from the one in "Midnight Ring", so Naoki Nagayama felt a little relieved.

After having fun with Yingtaro and Miaotaro for a while, he sat on the sofa and prepared to watch a new program. He had heard the name of "Fuji All Night" several times today, and he wanted to criticize it!

The variety shows in the Showa period were very bold, especially the night shows, which dared to put anything on. While watching the weird variety shows, Naoki Nagayama was still thinking about whether to call Akina.

Just at this time!

"Ding-ling-ling!!"

The sudden ring of the phone made Naoki Nagayama's heart tighten. Oh my god! The movie has been filmed, how can I still be scared!

But after all, I filmed it myself, so I naturally knew that there would be no such thing as a murder bell:

"Moses, this is Yama Sakurain."

"Ni-chan!" A full-of-energy voice came from the receiver, "I'm Tsuruko!!"

Yingtaro at his feet immediately raised his head, and then buried his head under his forelegs.

"Ah, it's Tsuruko~" Naoki Nagayama didn't say hello when he heard it was his sister, "What's wrong? Did you suddenly remember to call your brother?"

"What? Don't I call you often?" Tsuruko said confidently.

"Hehe~" Naoki Nagayama sneered, "It might have happened before. But after meeting a senior, she rarely called me. What's his name? Oh, it's Kaneda Dalu!"

".No~" Tsuruko was a little shy, "What does it have to do with Kaneda Senior!"

"Tsuruko, you're already in college, it's normal to have a boyfriend."

Since dating Akina, Naoki Nagayama found that he seemed to be more open-minded about his sister's love. The previous sister control emotion was really just the unwillingness of a single dog.

"It's been so long, and you haven't won Kaneda Dalu yet?"

"Bagani-chan, I want you to take care of it!" Tsuruko said fiercely, and then got down to business, "I saw in the newspaper today the director who was frightened by a horror movie and became incontinent. Is it true?"

"Well, that's right." Nagayama Naoki didn't hide anything.

"Hahahaha~" Tsuruko laughed out loud.

"I'm already very pitiful, Tsuruko, don't laugh at me~" Nagayama Naoki said helplessly, "Be kind!"

"Okay, okay, I can't help it, but Ni-chan, is that movie "The Ring" really scary?"

Although he couldn't see Tsuruko's expression, Naoki Nagayama thought he saw the eager face: "Tsuruko, do you want to see it?"

"Yeah! Ni-chan, do you have a ticket?"

For a moment, Naoki Nagayama felt like a scalper at the door of a movie theater, being asked, "Dude, do you have a ticket?"

"There are always some," he sighed. This is his sister after all. "But if you want to go see Tsuruko, it's best to go with a companion. It's better to have someone to accompany you at night."

"Huh? Are you looking down on me? I'm not afraid of ghosts or anything like that! I don't need anyone to accompany me at night!"

Nagayama Naoki ignored it: "Anyway, I think the Golden Field Continent is good. I can take him to see it with me."

Nagayama Tsuruko was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said angrily: "You have to stay with me at night when you are alone, aren't you afraid that your sister will suffer?! Bagani-chan!"

"Haha. If you can still have that kind of thoughts after watching "Midnight Ring", then I really think he is awesome!" Nagayama Naoki continued, "Also, when did I say that I want to be alone? If you take your best friend Junsui Ishii to see it, the two girls will also be scared, so you can bring more.”

"." Hezi felt that his brother was too confident.

"Anyway, I will give you five tickets, and you can also give them away~" Naoki Nagayama thought for a while, he should go to the TV station tomorrow, and he happened to be on the way, "I'll give it to you at noon tomorrow~"

"Hi Arigado~"

Then we talked about topics such as when to go back for the Chinese New Year this year. We talked for about half an hour before hanging up the phone.

Yamada Yoji came to Tokyo Metropolitan Central Hospital, and in a certain ward, he found Fukasaku Kinji staring blankly out of the window.

"Kinji-kun, how are you?" Yamada Yoji asked cautiously, putting down the fruit basket in his hand.

Kinji Fukasaku was not sent directly to the hospital in a movie theater.

After returning to his home last night, he knew that this time he could be said to have been humiliated, so he planned to contact Shochiku's media and public relations personnel to suppress such news.

But before he had a phone call, Yoji Yamada, who was watching TV at home, called him. He picked up the phone and asked him to watch the late-night live broadcast.

So, when I saw the sexy female college assistants in "Fuji All Night", they were full of surprise and curiosity as they discussed the breaking news of a certain director, and the director of the program actually posted the real video.

Although the crew of "Fuji All Night" did not mention the director's name and the video was coded, the "Director Fukasaku" called by some reporters in the video was very clear.

When seeing this scene, Fukasaku Kinji experienced ups and downs in his heart that night, and finally couldn't hold on any longer!

His vision went dark and he fainted. Fortunately, his family quickly sent him to the hospital.

"Yoji-san" Fukasaku Kinji's tone was quite calm, "How is the situation outside now?"

"this"

"Don't worry, I'm ready!"

Yamada Yoji sighed: "Kinji-kun, in short, you have become a laughing stock in the entertainment industry."

Fukasaku Kinji felt that his eyes were in a trance for a while before he regained his composure.

"Yoji-san, has Shochiku taken action?" Fukasaku Kinji had a glimmer of hope, "Yesterday I remembered that I had requested someone from the public relations department."

"Kinji-kun, there is nothing we can do about the newspapers. They have already been sent out." Yoji Yamada also went to inquire, "But at the TV station, the director of Shochiku has already called the top management and asked them to restrain themselves during the program. "

Fukasaku Kinji felt a little relieved. After all, Shochiku's director had been friends with him for more than ten years.

After calming down, Fukasaku Kinji had experienced strong winds and waves after all. He forced himself to pretend to be calm and said:

"In this case, there should be no big problem. My matter does not involve any principled errors, and it will not cause resistance or opposition, nor will it have a great impact on the cause."

The man on the hospital bed gritted his teeth and said word by word:

"He's just an old man who is in poor health and can't control his urge to urinate!"

Yamada Yoji looked at Fukasaku Kinji with some sympathy. In Japanese culture, it is a very shameful thing to admit that one is old and cannot control one's body.

In the film industry, where face is the most important thing, Kinji Fukasaku is already a director at the top of the pyramid. For those in a superior position, showing such a weak side is just waiting for the people below to overcome them!

"Nagayama Naoki! Itou Shuichi! You two guys! I won't let you go!"

Without reflecting on himself at all, Fukasaku Kinji attributed everything to the two of them!

If they hadn't made "The Ring," if they hadn't held a preview, if they hadn't attracted me to attend, if they hadn't asked security to help me out,

"Xin Erjun"

Yoji Yamada looked at his friend in front of him and didn't know how to comfort him. Maybe at this moment, hatred was the support for him to live~
