Chapter 628 636, I Just Wanted to Be an Ordinary Person

Chapter 628 636, originally I just wanted to be an ordinary person.

The small restaurant was now filled with aroma, and the crew and crew sitting in the booths began to enjoy morning tea like real guests.

"It tastes really good!" "Why don't I feel good about this?" "Some are made by actors, and some are made by Naoki-san." "Naoki-san's cooking skills are not good~" "Huh! Naoki-san is... Coming from a family of chefs, his cooking skills are extremely good!”

Some familiar employees are educating new employees about their boss’s background.

The fact that Nagayama Naoki's father owns an izakaya family business has been deified as being from a culinary family. Coupled with the rumored gangster background, the strong contrast suddenly gave him a "yakuza" feeling. The contrasting image of "cooking husband"

"Naoki-san, why do we really have to cook?" Komori Masataka asked a little puzzled, "Some actors' cooking skills"

"Hahaha, it's just to create the atmosphere of the scene." Naoki Nagayama said, "To play a role well, the most important thing is experience. I don't have much energy to let the actors take on the background of the character bit by bit, so I just It’s really nice to have them come.”

"Forehead"

Ah, is this the reason why Naoki-san went so smoothly when filming movies in the past?

Masataka Komori seems to think that he has discovered Naoki Nagayama’s top-secret technique that is not revealed to anyone! The whole person's spirit is lifted!

Speaking of which, when I was in high school, I went straight to become a student! I actually went to find a haunted house during the midnight ring!

After falling into this idea, all previous movies moved closer to this idea.

The bustling restaurant even had real customers coming to order food. A pair of young people who looked like a couple walked into the restaurant.

"Private Marseille, are there any seats available?"

Nagayama Naoki did not kick people out. Instead, he asked Takewaki Muga to greet the guests like a real restaurant, and asked other team members to remain normal.

"Hi, guests please come this way."

As an experienced actor, Takewaki Muga has no flaws at all in his performance. Whether it is his enthusiastic demeanor or skillful movements, he looks like he has been working in this restaurant for several years.

Although the young man who came in was very strange, why did this old handsome store manager look so familiar and why did he feel that other customers were looking at him strangely?

But since it's a restaurant, as long as you can eat, it doesn't matter!

"Please give me a cup of coffee and cappuccino; and then give her a strawberry parfait." The young man ordered something to eat, but the girl opposite him looked at the store manager next to him, becoming more and more confused. .

"Hi, please wait a moment."

After Takewaki Muga wrote down the menu, he bowed slightly and returned to the kitchen. He could make the coffee himself, but for the parfait,

"Xunjiang, can you make it?"

"Ah, stupid tape!" Xiao Bilijuanxun also worked in a dessert shop, and the simple parfait was not a problem for her.

At this moment, the young couple outside were whispering: "Tell me, have you seen that store manager before? Although he is dressed very ordinary, his face looks very handsome!"

"Rina-chan, when did your taste become so strong, uncle?" The boy was a little unhappy.

"Who said that? If you don't believe me, take a closer look! He's really handsome!"

"Is he even more handsome than the handsome young man in front of you?" the boy said with a frown.

"Pfft~cough~"

Hearing this sentence, the crew members sitting in the booth next door couldn't help laughing and quickly coughed to cover it up.

The boy heard this and turned his head slightly. Without saying anything more, he said to the girl opposite: "I've never seen this restaurant before. Why does it feel weird? I also saw a lot of strange equipment in the corner. , covered with black cloth."

(The cameras and stands were temporarily put away for fear of getting dirty while cooking, and some stands were placed directly in the corners.)

"Huh? What's weird? It feels like a comprehensive restaurant~ Maybe it's a newly opened store~"

After looking around again, the boy said: "The guests here are all strangers. They are all so quiet and don't even chat. It doesn't feel like they are here to eat."

As soon as these words came out, people in the crew started chatting instantly, and the whole restaurant became lively.

"."

The boy was shocked. There seemed to be something wrong with this restaurant!

At this moment, Takewaki Muga and Obire Maki Kaoru brought coffee and parfait, bowed slightly and said with a smile:

"Guests, please use it slowly~"

Feeling the surrounding eyes drifting here again, the instinct of reading the air made the young man and woman suddenly nervous.

"Hi, Arigado~"

After saying that, he started to eat quickly. The man grinned and the woman shivered.

At the end of the day, I hurriedly handed over two big bills and ran out without even asking for change.

"Hahaha~" "It's so fun~"

As soon as the two left, the restaurant burst into laughter~

Nagayama Naoki came out and clapped his hands: "Okay, okay. Everyone has left and everyone has eaten~ Let's get ready and start the official shooting!"

"Hi!"XN

Itou Shuichi, who had rested for a long time, also regained some energy and looked at the busy crew and asked:

"Naoki-san, do you want to tell the protagonists about today's scene?"

Nagayama Naoki looked at the shooting schedule in his hand: "The first scene scheduled for today happens to be the lively restaurant scene, as well as the scenes of the employees at the front desk and the kitchen of the restaurant~"

"Yes, it needs to be divided into several shots, including customers, store managers, and clerks. It should not only show the busy scene, but also reflect the sense of the picture." Itou Shuichi drew storyboards on the draft paper and began to analyze.

"It looks so troublesome." Nagayama Naoki looked at the storyboard and scratched his head, "In this case, the surrounding environment will have to be redone every time. 6 ah, 7 shots, our restaurant theater Need to perform 7 times."

"It's really difficult for everyone to concentrate every time and not make mistakes."

Masataka Komori sighed next to him: "It's more than 7 times. Each shot may need to be shot multiple times."

"Huh? Why?" Nagayama Naoki was a little strange.

Only then did Masataka Komori realize that the person in front of him was Naoki Nagayama. When he was shooting, the number of NG shots was very few:

"Ah, if it's Naoki-san, then there's no problem~"

Itou Shuichi on the side seemed to feel the ridicule, but he could not say anything and could only roll his eyes at Komori Masataka.

However, the filming still had to be done. He said to Naoki Nagayama:

"Naoki-san, let's talk to the actors about the scenes one by one. Rehearsing in advance should reduce the possibility of NG."

"Well" Nagayama Naoki looked at the storyboard and compared it with the picture in his mind, "I think it's better to use one shot."

"One shot to the end?" Komori Masataka and Itou Shu looked at each other, and they both began to think, "Isn't the one shot to the end used more often in documentaries?"

Naoki Nagayama continued:

"Shuichi-san, do you still remember our last duel in "Hot-Blooded High School"? Wasn't there a big melee scene, or was it shot using a one-shot method?"

"Are you talking about the scene of two gangs fighting each other?" Yi Tangxiu nodded, "But at that time it was one scene. We only needed to show the fighting scene and change the camera. This time there are 7 scenes!"

Nagayama Naoki finished recalling the scenes in his mind and smiled: "So what if there are many scenes? The audience only has one pair of eyes. We only need to follow the protagonist and use the first-person perspective of the game."

"First-person perspective?" Itou Shuichi murmured to himself, "Isn't that a term in literature? Why is it related to games?"

"ah!"

Nagayama Naoki finally realized that in this era there were not even large-screen visual games, and no one knew the difference between first-person perspective and God's perspective.

So he could only explain: "Just treat the camera as an audience. In short, just wait for me to design a route, and then shoot according to this trajectory!"

"The other actors are just like the normal restaurant opening before! It's very much like the normal restaurant business~ There are only a few dedicated actors who need to start performing according to the timing."

After hearing what Nagayama Naoki said, Itou Shuichi and Komori Masataka didn't say much, just waiting to see what method he would use to start.

The crew and props worked with Naoki Nagayama to design the camera's route along the kitchen's movement, while Kijima Kyun, who was controlling the camera, listened to his special instructions:

"Kijima-kun, when you turn here, the height of the camera should be raised to see the panoramic view of the kitchen."

"Hi!"

"At this time, the actors in the kitchen need to show a lively atmosphere. Yoshida!" Naoki Nagayama looked back at another supporting actor working part-time, "It doesn't matter if you act clumsy at this time!"

"Hey!" the young actor replied immediately.

The trajectory of the camera continued to change, coming out of the kitchen: "The waiter appears now!"

"Hi!"

Continue walking down the aisle towards the front hall:

"Xunjiang appears at this time."

After the preliminary explanation was completed, Naoki Nagayama asked the assistant director, Masataka Komori, and the actors to rehearse several times before starting the actual shooting.

In the bright sunshine, the camera followed the heroine Tachibana into this busy restaurant:

After opening the small door of the kitchen, in the bustling back kitchen, a young female clerk ran nimbly to greet the customers.

The newly promoted part-time chef clumsily burnt the bread and was asked by the chef to wash the dishes.

The heroine made a tropical parfait and put it on a tray and sent it to the front room.

The front hall, which was almost full of guests, was bustling with people, and it looked like business was booming.

The shots were connected one by one by Naoki Nagayama. A total of 7 shots were condensed into one shot. This is one shot to the end!

Komori Masataka was arranging the actors' positions while writing down such superb operations. Looking at this scene, Itou Shuichi could only sigh silently in his heart:

"Naoki-san is indeed you!"

What was originally expected to be a full day of shooting was actually condensed into two hours! No wonder other movies can be shot so quickly.

After filming the initial impression of this restaurant, Naoki Nagayama asked the crew members to take a break, and he and Yuichi Itou arranged the next shooting process.

"There are a lot of scenes in the restaurant. Are Shuichi-san and other actors in place?"

"Because we didn't expect the filming to be so fast, some of them didn't come. But if we notify them now, it shouldn't be too late." Itou Shuichi signaled Komori Masataka to call the staff left behind in the studio and let them notify the extras.

Not long after Komori Masataka went to the office next door to make a call, he hurried over:

"Naoki-san, Otomo-san is anxious to find you."

"? Me?"

Naoki Naoki walked over strangely, and then came back with a heavy face after a while.

Itou Shuichi asked with concern: "Naoki-san, what's wrong?"

"There seems to be a problem with the KTV in Harajuku. Shigetomo Araki called the studio to find me." Naoyama Naoki did not hide it from Itou Shuichi, "The call didn't say what it was, but it should be quite urgent."

"Since you called Naoki-san, it should have happened suddenly." Itou Shuichi nodded.

"Shuichi-san, it looks like I can't help any more this afternoon." Naoyama Naoki said, "I'm going to Harajuku to take a look."

"Hey, Daigaita, I've recovered a lot after just one morning." Idou Shuichi naturally wouldn't stop him, "Naoki-san, be careful~"

"Hi!"

After nodding to Komori Masataka, Kijima Kyon, and others, and greeting Takewaki Muga and Kobi Raimaki Kaoru, Naoyama Naoki drove the convertible towards Harajuku.

Outside the three-story building at the corner of Harajuku, a police car was parked outside. Several uniformed policemen were arresting several young men and women in a bar-like hall, and Araki Shigetomo was explaining something to the police.

After Naoyama Naoki arrived, the foreman Kurita Tetsuhiro came to greet him.

"Naoki-san, you're finally here~"

"Kurita-kun, what happened?" Naoyama Naoki naturally had to ask first.

"Those young men came here in the morning." Tetsuhiro Kurita pointed at the arrested people and said, "Although it's a bit strange, we still opened a private room."

"However, after waiting for a while, a policeman suddenly stopped at the door of the KTV and said that they received a report that someone in our store was taking contraband."

"?" Naoki Nagayama was speechless, "Could it be that they were high and called the police themselves?"

"We don't know what happened either," Tetsuhiro Kurita explained quickly, "But they actually said that the contraband was taken from our store, so the police are still questioning the manager."

".Such a crude scapegoating."

Naoki Nagayama immediately understood that someone was going to cause trouble for the KTV. But, were the means so despicable?

Shaking his head, he walked to the side of Mochi Araki who was being questioned by the police: "Mochi-san, how is it?"

Mochi Araki said: "Police-san still has some questions, and is asking some questions."

The police officer who looked like a deputy inspector looked over and asked angrily: "Who are you? What is your relationship with this store?"

"I am the owner of this KTV." Naoki Naoyama did not mean to hide it, "This Mochi-san is the store manager I hired."

"So you are the boss!" The deputy inspector did not seem to care much about the entertainment industry, or deliberately did not recognize Naoki Naoyama, and said in an evil voice, "KTV allows others to take contraband, please go with us to the police department to assist in the investigation!"

He also wanted his men to give him a pair of silver bracelets.

Is this guy also part of the frame-up this time? ! Naoki Naoyama thought silently.

After hearing this, the KTV staff were a little anxious for a while and surrounded him one after another.

After spending so much time with the old members of the Nagayama Group, they have more or less been tainted with a bit of gangster style. When their boss is in trouble, they seem to be going to fight for a while.

"What are you doing! Are you going to attack the police?!" The other policemen instantly became nervous, "Back off, back off!"

The shop assistants were also a little overwhelmed for a while. They were not members of the gang. They just wanted to support the boss, but they didn't want to go against the police!

Nagayama Naoki reacted and quickly waved his hand to let the shop assistants back off, which eased their originally uneasy mood.

Then he said to the deputy inspector in front of him:

"Officer, my name is Naoki Nagayama, what's your name?"

The somewhat cautious deputy inspector looked at the shop assistants around him and felt a little pressure, but still said sternly:

"I am the drug countermeasures room, narcotics investigator Takamatsu Yoshio!"

"Someone was found to be taking contraband in the property under your name, and the KTV is suspected of being involved in the contraband transaction, so you need to cooperate with our investigation!"

Looking at the very righteous look of the police officer, Naoki Nagayama removed his suspicion.

"Investigator Takamatsu, I can guarantee that there is no contraband transaction in our KTV. We are a legitimate business." Naoki Nagayama wanted to explain.

"You can talk about this in the police station!"

Takamatsu Yoshio looked iron-faced and impartial. He had no good feelings towards the operators of these nightclubs. These places were places where filth was bred.

"."

Alas. I just wanted to explain to you as an ordinary person, but I was just alienated. Forget it, I won't pretend anymore. I'm a big star. Let's be clear!

"Ahem, this officer, I'm Naoki Nagayama. A big star!" Naoki Nagayama felt a little embarrassed to be so boastful. "If you take me back like this, it will create a bad impression!"

"?"

Takamatsu Ryoo showed a puzzled look, and then a policeman came up to him and talked a lot, and then he reacted,

"So what if they are celebrities? Public figures involved in contraband should be punished more severely."

Nagayama Naoki smiled and pointed at the few young men squatting in the corner: "But, according to Officer Takamatsu's experience, you should be able to find that these guys are clearly here to throw dirty water. And they treat you, Officer Takamatsu, like a stupid monkey."

Takamatsu Ryoo's face tightened. He really felt that he was used as a gun by the criminals.

"When our KTV opened, hundreds of police officers came, and Section Chief Nan Junxiong of the Fourth Investigation Section also came." Naoyama Naoki continued to pull the tiger skin: "It stands to reason that the guys nearby should not dare to come to do this kind of thing. What happened today?"

"? Section Chief Nan Junxiong?" Takamatsu Ryoo obviously knew this name, and he became a little cautious in his heart.

"Yeah." Naoki Nagayama nodded and looked at Takamatsu Yoshio, "Officer Takamatsu, can I ask them who sent them?"

"You?" Takamatsu Yoshio was disdainful, "Will they listen to you?"

"I look kind~" Naoki Nagayama smiled brightly.

Takamatsu Yoshio did not answer, but moved aside.

Naoki Nagayama slowly walked to the yellow-haired guy who looked like the leader. He looked like he was not yet an adult, and his arrogant expression made him look like he deserved a beating.

"Hey, yellow-haired." This name made Naoki Nagayama feel a little strange, "Can you tell me who asked you to come?"

"Humph, who are you? You're a fool!" The spirited young man said arrogantly, "It's great to have a relationship with the police! I'm still a minor, and I'll be out in a few days!"

What a stubborn young man. Naoki Nagayama sighed, and just in time saw Nagayama Feng coming back with a few brothers. They walked in from the door, but were stopped by the police. After all, the tattoos on the upper bodies of several old men in the club really didn't look like good people.

Naoki Nagayama pointed at Hamasaki Shogo at the door and said, "Did you see that person?"

"What?!" The yellow-haired man took a look and his eyes shrank.

"Maybe the person who called you here didn't tell you." Naoki Nagayama lowered his voice, "We are the property of the Yamaguchi-gumi! The police can't do anything to you, but that person won't be polite!"

The yellow-haired man glanced at the fierce-looking Hamasaki Shogo, and several strong men beside him swallowed their saliva.

"That guy is called Hamasaki Shogo, and he is the younger brother of the Yamaguchi-gumi." Naoki Nagayama laughed evilly, "I especially like a colorful little boy like you."

The yellow-haired man trembled, and several young people around him also opened their eyes wide. They have been on the streets for a long time, so they naturally know what the so-called "like" means.

Seeing that several people were nervous, Naoki Nagayama said: "They don't know that you are assigned by someone yet. If you tell me, I can not tell him~"

"This" The yellow-haired man was obviously shaken.

"Tell me quietly, you are going to the police station anyway. When you come out, the guy who assigned you may not exist anymore~" Naoki Nagayama threatened again, "You know, the Yamaguchi-gumi always fights back! Of course, if you want to be a hero, that's fine~"

"No, no. I don't want to go against the Yamaguchi-gumi!" The yellow-haired man shouted in a low voice, "It was Hiramatsu Naohisa from the Ishii Society who sent me here! He said that the KTV should be closed for a while!"

"?"

What is the Ishii Society? Naoki Nagayama was puzzled, but since he asked, he didn't continue playing with the kids, it was too unchallenging~

"Okay~"

Standing up and walking towards the police, but the yellow-haired man behind him was still shouting: "Don't let that guy Hamasaki Shogo come over!"

Hamazaki Shogo, who had just entered the door, had a question mark on his head.

"Hey, Inspector Takamatsu Yoshio, you should have heard that someone framed it." Naoki Nagayama said to Takamatsu Yoshio.

"Hmph!" Takamatsu Yoshio stared at Naoki Nagayama, "I can still ask you to cooperate with the investigation!"

"Yes, yes, of course~" Naoki Nagayama nodded, "But we all know that this is meaningless, right? Even if I walk into the police station, a lawyer in a suit will soon come to bail me out.

Even if you don't want to, there may be a guy wearing the same police uniform, but with a higher rank than you, who will order you to release me immediately."

Takamatsu Yoshio stared at Naoki Nagayama again, as if he was looking at some scum who colluded with power and money. He knew that there were indeed such people in Japan.

Especially if you encounter the nationality of the United States, it is like a super first-class citizen, and you have to be sent out respectfully~

"Haha, Officer Takamatsu, I'm just joking." Naoki Nagayama laughed, "You also know that I was wronged, so let's find the real mastermind behind it!"

"It's better that you are wronged!" Takamatsu Yoshio finally left with his men and a few killers.

"Naoki, what happened?" After the police left, Nagayama Feng came up to them.

"Someone just framed us for suspected contraband trading." Nagayama Naoki said, "How could they do it so quickly?"

"Who?"

Nagayama Feng was also surprised, because the Yamaguchi-gumi had already greeted them here!

"A person from the Ishii-kai, his name is Hiramatsu Naohisa." Nagayama Naoki said.

"Oh?" Brother Feng's eyes flashed, "Since you already know the name, leave this to me! I want to see who it is!"

"Brother Feng, it's better not to fight and kill." Naoki Nagayama said, "We are a legitimate business, and the KTV chain may encounter such things in the future."

"Well, I understand!" Nagayama Feng nodded, turned around and gave instructions to Hamasaki Shogo.

Meanwhile, Naoki Nagayama started talking to Shigetomo Araki:

"Shigetomo-san, it seems that our management is still not in place, and someone brought in contraband."

"Smith Marseille! It's my fault~" Shigetomo Araki bowed deeply to apologize, "I promise to patrol more strictly in the future!"

"Well, apart from this." Naoki Nagayama thought for a while, "Let's see if we can find a few drug-sniffing dogs!"

"Drug-sniffing dogs?" Shigetomo Araki was surprised, "They should all be under the jurisdiction of the National Police Agency!"

"There are always ways to deal with those who do not meet the standards in the training ground, those who are retired, and those who are abroad." Naoki Nagayama patted Shigetomo Araki on the shoulder, "We are not the customs, and the guests will not hide so strictly."

"Hey, I understand!"

After talking a few more words about daily management, Naoki Nagayama and Kaede Nagayama opened a private room together when Shigetomo Araki left, and analyzed the cause of the accident while drinking.

"Wouldn't it be faster to collect protection fees directly? Why is it so troublesome and put the blame on others?" Yongshan Feng was a little puzzled. This was different from the general underworld.

"Brother Feng, do you think there are other groups that have set their sights on our KTV?" Yongshan Zhishu said, "So they first put the blame on others and want us to stop operating, and then take the opportunity to acquire it?"

"So they want to seize the industry? But this method is too low! The effect is also very poor!"

"You don't know what kind of life those small business owners live." Yongshan Zhishu smiled, "Most cash flows can't last more than three months!"

"As long as the business is closed due to one thing or another, it will soon be unable to make ends meet. Then, someone will be very enthusiastic to introduce you to a lending institution."

Then the interest will be compounded, and finally the store will be mortgaged.

But there is only one thing, the assets obtained in this way are legal! Unlike protection fees!

Yongshan Feng angrily drank the wine in his hand:

"I must find this guy!"
