Chapter 534 532, Comedian Delayed by Movies
Chapter 534 532, the comedian who was delayed by the movie~
"Why can't I remember my crush in high school?" Masataka Komori sighed.
The editing work of "Love Letter" is going smoothly with Naoki Nagayama's full dedication. At present, several important plots have been basically edited. Just now, Masataka Komori and others watched the high school clips.
That figure shining in the sun not only remains in the memory of the female version of Fujii, but also makes people who watch it unforgettable.
"That must be because Masataka-kun had too many crushes in high school!" Itou Shuichi said with a smile, "That's why I couldn't decide which one to remember!"
"Haha~" Nagayama Naoki and Kijima Kyun both laughed.
"Who said that! I'm very dedicated, right?" Komori Masataka immediately retorted, "It must be because all I have in my mind is Rena-chan, so I can't remember it!"
Rei Komori, that’s his current wife~
"Hey~~~" If you say something like this in a crowd of men, you will definitely be despised by everyone.
"Speaking of which~" Itou Shuichi said, "This movie is really a coincidence. Men can see Ms. Akina Nakamori's beauty, and women can see Naoki-san's handsomeness. But, Naoki-san, you are not afraid of this movie. After you came out, did the audience tie you to Akina Nakamori?"
"Haha, like Miura Yuka and Yamaguchi Momoe?" Nagayama Naoki smiled, "But Akina's fans should be very opposed to it."
"Who told you to have so many scandals!"
"Is that my fault? Didn't I do it all just to hype up the movie?!" Naoki Nagayama took all the credit for the secretly photographed scandal~
"Hey~" Yi Tangxiu rolled his eyes, "Obviously he just saw that the young and beautiful girl couldn't walk!"
"Xiu Yi-san, although we all know each other so well, I will still sue you for slander!"
In the small editing room, there was constant chatter and laughter.
At this moment, the voice of Fangcun Dayou came from the door: "Zhi Shusang, Xiu Yisang."
"What's wrong?"
Fangcun Dayou walked in: "Is there nothing going on tonight?"
"It's nothing special," Itou Shuichi immediately replied, "What's wrong, do you want to go to a dinner party? Haha~"
"No, there is a program coming~" Yoshimura Otomo said directly, "People from Fuji TV called. There is a program that wants to invite the main crew members of "The Ring" to be guests. Ah, the program The name is "Fuji All Night."
"this"
Nagayama Naoki wanted to refuse as soon as he heard it. If he had this free time, he might as well eat hot pot at home!
Who knew that Yoshimura Otomo discovered his thoughts at a glance and said immediately: "Naoki-san, don't try to escape! We have just signed a licensing contract and reached a publicity agreement!"
"But... that didn't say we were required to play on our own?!" Naoki Nagayama complained, "Why don't we just provide some materials?"
"It's not that simple. Appropriate appearances are still needed. We are already discussing with Yuko Tanaka's office." Yoshimura Otomo comforted, "Don't worry, we will pay for the labor! Naoki-san has 2 million!"
"!!!Am I the one who is short of this little money?!" Naoki Nagayama said with a cold eyebrow, "With this little money, I can only spend one night at most!"
"Haha, Naoki-san, it's very simple. It's simpler than a media meeting. You just need to chat~" Fangcun Otomo said with a smile, "This is a live broadcast, so there is no need to rehearse and record in advance. It will be done tonight. Just go there!”
Itou Shuichi asked: "Should I go too?"
"Of course, you are the director!" Yoshimura Otomo said, then turned and left, "There will be a car from the studio to take you there!"
This is because I am afraid that someone will escape halfway!
The fame of the horror film "The Ring" continues to spread among people as the number of screenings increases.
Even during the daytime show, many viewers in the cinema were so frightened that they collapsed on their seats. At this time, it showed the foresight of Shuyou Films to allow the cinema to prepare first aid equipment and contact an ambulance in advance.
In a department store in Shinjuku's business district, salespeople in the Toshiba home appliance section occasionally hear conversations like this:
"Like, so similar"
"There won't be any Sadako crawling out, right?"
"Are you Baga? It's just a movie!"
"But, I'm really scared!"
After an unexplained conversation, the pair of customers who were coming to buy a TV hurriedly ran away.
"Uemura, what's going on with you? Did you lose another customer?" Store manager Isamu Nakao asked the salesman Ko Uemura who had just been an intern, "Did you say something wrong again?!"
Salesman Isao Uemura was helpless: "Store manager, I don't know. I just heard words like Sadako, movies, fear, etc., and then the customer ran away as if he saw something evil."
"Evil thing?" Nakao Yuuo frowned: he didn't say anything more, but he said, "Be sure to ask clearly later!"
"Hi!"
By noon, Toshiba's home appliance section figured out what was going on.
Salesman Isao Uemura spread his hands and said, "So, that's what happened. Others watched a movie, and it made the customers feel timid because of the scene in which a ghost crawled out of the TV."
Store manager Nakao Yuuo, who is over mid-year old, was dubious: "Is there such a thing? Just a horror movie?! Is it so exaggerated?"
"Hey, it's said to be very scary!"
After walking around the store twice, store manager Isamu Nakao finally decided: "Uemura, isn't there a cinema on Shinjuku Street? Let's go take a look at noon to see what kind of horror it is!"
"Huh? Do I want to go too?" Isao Uemura was dumbfounded, "I don't want to. I haven't liked watching horror movies since I was a child!"
"Yaga, you are already an adult. How can a Showa man be afraid of a mere horror movie!" Isamu Nakao hated iron and said, "This is the time to test your determination as a salesperson!"
"."
Uemura Isao was eventually dragged to the movies by Nakao Yuuo.
At the same time, a story about a terrifying horror movie spread rapidly among young people all over Japan:
In the high school paranormal club, someone who had watched the movie suggested watching "The Ring" as a courage test project;
Among college classmates, those who have watched it want to drag those who haven’t watched it into the water, while some boys are busy showing off their boyfriend power and decide to take their female classmates with whom they have a better relationship to watch;
Among office workers who are depressed at work every day, young men and women want to watch horror movies as a way to seek excitement, so that they can breathe a sigh of relief in the constant busyness.
More and more people are walking towards the cinema.
After working hard all day in the studio, when I go home at night, the company continues to squeeze labor.
Naoki Nagayama, who was sitting in the back seat of Shuyou Films’ bus, was very emotional~
"As a boss, you have to work so hard~"
Itou Xiu next to him smiled and said: "Where are you, Naoki-san, have you forgotten that when we made our first movie, we were in the car for three days and three nights to promote it?"
"Ah, I remember, Otomo-san was still driving at that time."
Naoki Nagayama looked at the front row. Although Otomo Yoshimura was still there, the driver was replaced by a newcomer, Takeharu Kawahara.
"By the way, Takeharu-kun, haven't you been running away with Chikoko-chan recently? Why are you back again?"
Fangcun Oitomo said: "Chikoko-chan has been in Tokyo recently. After sending us there, Wu Chun-kun will go to pick her up."
"Ah, that's it." Nagayama Naoki continued to ask, "Chikoko-chan's new song hasn't been released yet, right?"
"Hey, it's starting to be pre-heated on various programs. The song "Thank you" is doing very well. When it is released at the beginning of the year, it should reach the top ten of the Oricon chart." Yoshimura Otomo is very confident.
"Ha, that's good~"
Naoki Nagayama naturally believes that in the future, the singer of this song will be more popular abroad than at home with this song alone.
By the time we arrived at the Fuji TV building, it was already dark. The closer we got to the winter solstice, the shorter the days became.
After Yoshimura Otomo dropped people off, he went to pick up Chiko Aoyama. When Nagayama Naoki and two people walked to the studio of "Fuji All Night", director Otsuka Kimiaki received them:
"Thank you Nagayama-san and Director Itou for participating in our show. I am director Otsuka Kimiaki."
Nagayama Naoki saw that it was an acquaintance he had met in the conference room before, and a smile appeared on his face: "Director Otsuka, it is our honor to be on a popular program like "Fuji All Night"."
Itou Shuichi also said: "Yes, but Director Otsuka, due to time constraints, we don't have much preparation. Is this a live broadcast okay?"
"Ah, no problem!" Otsuka Kimiaki laughed, "On "Fuji All Night", our main focus is spontaneity and authenticity, and the host is also very good at controlling it, so it's okay! Directors Nagayama-san and Itou Just think of it as a simple chat.”
"However, to be on the safe side, I will first show you the questions that the host may ask."
Nagayama Naoki and Itou Shuichi looked at it for a while. They were all simple questions and did not involve anything particularly difficult to answer, so they didn't pay too much attention to them.
But I turned around and looked around, and I saw that Yuko Tanaka was not here. It seemed like there was a schedule conflict!
In the remaining hours, the two of them were in the studio, watching Otsuka Koaki go through today's recording process several times for the new college assistants.
What focuses on authenticity and spontaneity! Even reality shows are scripted!
By the time the live broadcast finally started, it was already past 10 p.m.
"Welcome to today's All Night Fuji!"
Host Yuki Yuki opened the show energetically in the studio. After a burst of opening music and dance, the host invited the female college assistants who appeared today to the stage.
"What are you paying attention to recently?" He seemed to be chatting with the female assistants.
"There is a very scary rumor~" A female college student pretended to be very pitiful. "I heard that when you are alone, there are scary ghosts crawling out of the TV!"
"Huntou?!"
In Yuki Gon's exaggerated expression, the movie "Midnight Ring" once again appeared in the "Fuji All Night" program. The audience in the audience also showed expressions of surprise and fear at the right time.
After citing many newspaper headlines, street news and gossip, Yuuki finally invited guests to the stage:
"Today, we invited the director and screenwriter of "The Ring", Director Itou and Mr. Naoki Nagayama, to the scene together! Let us share with you the origin and details of the horror movie "The Ring"!"
Accompanied by a burst of welcoming music, Naoki Nagayama and Idou Shuichi waved their hands and went on stage.
"Director Idou, the process of shooting a horror film is very hard, right?" Yuki Gong sat on the chair as if chatting, "Especially with such a scary plot, as a director, are you afraid?"
"Haha, the lead actress of Sadako also said before that the filming process is actually very easy and fun!" Idou Shuichi smiled, "With more than a dozen people surrounding the actors and the scene, it's hard to be scared~"
"Hahaha~" The female college student assistant on the stage and the audience below laughed at the right time.
"What about Naoki-san? Are you afraid when writing the script?" The microphone turned to Naoki Nagayama.
"How should I put it?" Naoki Nagayama also laughed, "Actually, at that time, I was writing a horror movie script while writing a romance movie script at the same time. So they canceled each other out!"
"Huh? Did you write them together?"
"Yes, when I felt scared, I changed to a romance movie, and when I felt bored, I wrote a horror movie"
"Won't there be a conflict of ideas?"
"Yes, so now I'm a little schizophrenic~"
"Oh~~" There was a booing sound at the scene, and the host Yuki Gong did not expect that the guests of the show would be more outrageous than the host.
"Hehe, it doesn't look like it~" Yuki Gong said.
"Otherwise, how could I write a plot like Sadako crawling out of the TV!" Naoki Nagayama threatened, "I really saw it when I was schizophrenic!"
Yuki Gong immediately pretended to be scared and shouted: "Scary!!!"
"Where is the doctor?! Call the doctor!"
The atmosphere of the whole scene was relaxed and pleasant, which was even more interesting than manzai.
Director Otsuka Komei, who was monitoring in real time in the studio, did not expect that the guests could have such a collision with the host. He sighed inexplicably that Naoki Naoyama was really a comedian who was delayed by movies!
Today's "Fuji All Night" looks like the ratings will definitely go up a level!
The live broadcast on the stage is still going on. After chatting, Yuki Gong finally took out the dry goods: "Naoki-san, Director Ido, look, what is this?"
Looking at the photo held by the female college student assistant, Ido Shuichi and Naoki Nagayama were a little surprised:
"Isn't this the location of "Midnight Ring"!
Yuki Gong smiled and said: "Hey, this is the old courtyard in Kyoto, and it is also the filming location of "Midnight Ring". After obtaining consent, our reporters were able to go in and shoot. Now, please connect with the reporters in Kyoto!"
Following Otsuka Komei's command, the picture came to the courtyard in Kyoto, and only a young man in tight clothes was seen in the main hall of the courtyard, introducing it to everyone.
"Mina-san, this is the location where "The Ring" was filmed. As far as we know, this house is where the scene where Sadako crawled out of the TV took place. It looks very gloomy and scary!"
In the middle of the night, such an old courtyard is already very scary, especially when it is associated with "The Ring". The whole live broadcast is like visiting a haunted house.
Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Ido were also very surprised to see the connection screen. They didn't expect that the other party would actually go to the site.
"Director Ido, Naoki-san, what do you think of seeing this courtyard again?" After the connection ended, Yuki Gong asked.
Shuichi Idou said, "Although it's been a long time, when I think back, there are traces of filming everywhere. But the live broadcast always feels eerie. Yuki-san, it's better to let the host over there go to the temple to get rid of the bad luck. I heard that the courtyard was a battlefield before, with many casualties and heavy resentment."
"Uh, I'll remind you. Hehe~" Yuki-kun laughed dryly and turned to Naoki Nagayama, "What about Naoki-san? What do you think?"
"Ah, I think the landlord will be angry," Naoki Nagayama laughed, "After today's live broadcast, this courtyard should not be sold hahaha~"
"."
After a moment of silence, the whole studio began to laugh~
A little earlier in time, in the afternoon, Toshiba Electric's store manager Yufu Nakao and clerk Isao Kamimura returned to the store in the department store.
Nakao Yufu took a sip of hot tea and calmed down: "Uemura, you must not tell anyone about what happened to me in the cinema!"
"Hey, I will never tell anyone else that the store manager was so scared that he crawled under the chair!"
Uemura said this, but his mind went back to the movie. In the scene where Sadako came out, although he was so scared that he dared not move, Nakao Yufu next to him collapsed on the floor of the theater and almost crawled under the chair.
"Baga, I told you not to say it!"
".Hey!"
What Showa man! What calm in the face of adversity! All excuses! Uemura felt that the store manager who was superior to others in every way was just an ordinary middle-aged man!
Nakao Yufu's eyes wandered, and he clearly hadn't recovered from the movie. He saw his own TV in a blink of an eye and was shocked.
"I finally know why customers don't want to buy TVs. It's a bit similar, and we have a whole container here."
Uemura Isao also felt the same way: "I always feel that each one is Sadako's exit. It's scary~"
"Baga, stop talking, I have an impression in my mind!"
".Hi~"
"However, if this phenomenon continues, it will affect revenue! Uemura, you quickly think of a solution for me!"
"What can I do? Should I stop "Midnight Ring" from airing?" Isao Uemura is just a high school graduate!
"Baga, if you can't think of it, I'll deduct your salary!" As if feeling that his authority was damaged, the store manager was in a bad mood and swore.
"."
Interns have no human rights. Isao Uemura looked at the mall outside helplessly, thinking that his salary must be deducted
Suddenly, he saw a very obvious sign on the pillar - no smoking
A big red prohibition icon covered the cigarette butt on the white paper, as if it was a shackle that was never allowed to break through.
Isao Uemura had a flash of inspiration: "Manager Nakao! Why don't we stick a no-passing sign on the TV screen!"
"??? What nonsense are you talking about?"
"In this way, Sadako will realize that she can't come out of this exit!" Isao Uemura vowed, "Then she won't come out of our TV! It will also make the customers feel at ease!"
"It sounds like it makes sense" The store manager actually nodded.
"Then I'll go to the printing shop next door to print some!" Isao Uemura went there immediately.
After a series of operations, a large no-entry sign was posted on the TV screens of Toshiba home appliances, with a white background and a red label, which was very eye-catching.
Isao Uemura and Isao Nakao looked at the strange and absurd appearance of this shelf, and they seemed to really feel a sense of security
"Now, Sadako-san should not come out from here!" Isao Uemura sighed, "But what if the customer goes home to watch TV and takes off the sign?"
"That's none of our business~"
