Chapter 891 900, Should I Accept Naoki Nagayama? !
On a hot afternoon, Naoki Nagayama came to the filming base in Ota District after a long absence.
As far as the eye can see, many people are shuttling between the various filming sites. Even under the scorching sun, there are teams filming in the outdoor filming sites.
After parking the car, I came to the office of the management office responsible for the arrangement of the entire park. I saw Ishikawa Katsuyoshi busy processing forms. When he heard the sound of the door being pushed open, he said without raising his head:
"There are no filming schedules in the recent period. The earliest appointment is in September. Ah, Naoki-san!"
Ishikawa Katsuyoshi saw that it was his immediate boss and stood up quickly:
"Why are you here!"
"I came to visit the set." Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "It seems that the filming base is very busy now!"
"Hey, with the expansion of the park and the construction of more scenes, many crews have contacted us." Ishikawa Katsuyoshi said that he, the director of the park, is getting busier and busier now. "The current schedule is already in September."
"Ha, it seems that the idea of the movie city is very promising!"
In recent years, the shooting speed of Shuyou Film has been well-known in the film industry, just like a catfish was put into a calm fish pond, making the other fish in the pond nervous
How can we make movies slowly and make money if you are so competitive!
Therefore, many film production companies also began to speed up the filming and production of movies. It doesn't matter if you can't catch up with Shuyou. If you are faster than other peers, you can make more money!
And a shooting base with complete shooting scenes and good logistical support is naturally a necessity for accelerating shooting.
Small production companies don't have the capital to build a film shooting base, but it is difficult to borrow the shooting bases of big companies such as Toho, Toei, and Shochiku. At this time, Shuyou's Dream Factory is actually open to the public? !
Everyone naturally began to gather here~
Now the streets outside the shooting base in Ota District are transforming into the peripheral service attributes of the movie city, and even the introduction agency for group actors has appeared
Here, there is already a little bit of Hollywood feeling!
"Ishikawa-kun, which studio are Shuichi-san and the others in today?" Naoki Naoyama came to the management office to ask this question.
"Ah, Shuichi-san is in area B1." Ishikawa Katsuyoshi is naturally the most concerned about his own crew, and he quickly led the way, "I'll take Naoki-san there!"
"Haha, thank you very much~"
"No, no, this is what I should do."
The two chatted while walking towards the set of "Squid Game". As soon as they opened the small door and entered the set, Naoki Nagayama felt a little uncomfortable.
Because his face felt very stuffy, which was inevitable in the factory in summer, but his legs were a little cold. What's going on?
Continue walking forward for a while, you can see the scenery that looks like a block more than ten years ago, and some places on the ground are still emitting white smoke
"Is there this scene in "Squid Game"? "
This is not the heavenly palace in "Journey to the West", why is it so foggy. He naturally recognized that it was dry ice fog.
Walking to the director's area, Naoki Nagayama happened to see Shuichi Ido and others filming Nanjo Yutaka playing marbles with the old man.
At this time, Nanjo Yutaka looked at his opponent who seemed to have Alzheimer's disease, and he felt entangled and painful. He was just going to use this to win the old man's marbles, and then make him fail the game and die!
The dim light was like the warm afterglow of the setting sun, because school was over in the evening, and most of the time, children played games with their friends outside at this time~
The light reflected on Nanjo Yutaka's face, bringing not warmth, but pain and guilt. He was kind-hearted and had just deceived his opponent, the old man with dementia, and took his marbles.
"Hey, I don't seem to have any marbles," the old man said slowly, looking at Nanjo Yutaka like a child, "Can you lend me a marble?"
"."
Nanjo Yutaka's face was full of shame and pain. He subconsciously squeezed his bag of marbles, thinking of his daughter outside, and the staff waiting with guns next to him. The idea of wanting to survive finally prevailed.
"Sorry"
"No. 70, eliminated"
As if the result was clear, the gunman next to him read it out. And as if he wanted to escape, Nanjo Yutaka stood up and wanted to leave, leaving the gunman next to him to execute the old man.
But at this moment, the old man trembled and rubbed his trouser pocket for a while, as if he found something:
"Here. It seems there is still a marble."
The old man smiled: "There is one left."
After hearing this, Nanjo Yutaka showed an expression of disbelief, and quickly poured his marbles on the ground and began to count.
"One, two, three, nine!"
Sure enough, one was missing!
"Click!" Ido Shuichi, who was holding a loud speaker, shouted loudly, "This one passed! Take a break and prepare for the next scene!"
"Oh oh oh~" "Huh~~" "Ha~"
The tense crew members relaxed all of a sudden and began to quickly find ice water or other cool places. At this time, Ido Shuichi also found the arrival of Naoki Naoyama.
"Naoki-san, when did you come?!"
"During the last scene!" Naoki Naoyama smiled, greeted Nanjo Yutaka, and then walked to Ido Shuichi's side, "Nanjo Yutaka's acting is very good!"
"Haha, yes, you are kind-hearted at heart, but you have to deceive and hurt others. There are very few acting skills like this!"
Naturally, Itou Shuichi was not stingy with compliments, which made Nanjo Yutaka, who was not far away, a little embarrassed.
Then he asked: "Naoki-san returned to Tokyo yesterday, right?"
"Well, I took a rest at home, then went to the company this morning, and came to see Shuichi-san in the afternoon!"
"Did you bring a gift then?!" Itou Shuichi teased.
".You are not a child anymore, why are you asking for gifts from others all day long?!" Nagayama Naoki was very disgusted.
Itou Shuichi was full of pride:
"Hahaha, I asked for it for my Jiayi-chan!"
"There's really nothing I can do about you. The gift is in the car and will be moved there later." Nagayama Naoki said and shook his head, "Remember, this is for Kai-chan!"
"Ha~"
Itou Shuichi didn't believe it, Nagayama Naoki always brought gifts to his friends when he went out! Immediately afterwards, he curiously asked about Nagayama Naoki's experience abroad, including the concert and the situation in New York.
"I have signed a contract with an investment manager. After a period of time, Shuyou Capital's capital account will be managed by him." Nagayama Naoki said, "There will be some action in the U.S. foreign exchange market. If Shuichi-san wants to If you want to participate, you can tell Yuan Taisang."
"Well, I will!" Itou Shuichi is not a person who is short of money now, but who would hate more wealth?
"By the way, is Shuichi-san paying attention to the filming progress of "Haijie Diary"?"
"Of course, I've been watching it, and it's almost the end now."
"That's good~"
"."
The two people were chatting here, and the entire crew was able to take a good rest. The original rest was only five minutes!
It’s almost half an hour now!
Naoki Nagayama’s forehead also started to sweat~
"Well, it's really hot on this set."
"Yes, but there is no other way." Itou Shuichi also nodded, "I even asked someone to get dry ice to cool down."
"Be careful when using dry ice~" Naoki Nagayama reminded, "Don't use too much dry ice. And then you need to ventilate it."
"Of course I know, do you think I'm a three-year-old child?!" Itou Shuichi rolled his eyes, then looked at his watch, "It's almost done, we have to finish filming this scene today!"
"Is the only scene left between Nanjo Yutaka and the old man?"
"yes."
At the end of the day, Naoki Nagayama decided not to disturb him anymore, but before leaving, he grabbed Kyun Kijima, who had been hiding in the director's area:
"Then that's it for today, I'll leave first. By the way, Kijima-kun, lend me a loan."
"Go, go, go~" Yi Tangxiu waved his hand indifferently.
"."
Kyū Kijima had nothing to say, so he could only follow Naoki Nagayama out of the set and to the parking lot.
"Naoki-san, do you want me to help with the gift?" Kijima Xu asked curiously as Naoki Nagayama took out the gift from the gap in the back seat.
"Oh? That's right, Kijima-kun can help give it to Shuichi-san!" Naoki Nagayama heard this and handed the gift directly to him.
"."That's it?
"Haha~" Nagayama Naoki looked at the confused Kijima and laughed, and then said formally, "Kijima-kun, I called you out to ask you a favor."
"Please give me your orders!"
"I will be filming a TV series in August - "Midnight Cafeteria"." Naoki Nagayama said, "The company is currently quite short on manpower, so I will recruit some people from Shuichi-san."
Kijima Xu hesitated and said: "But Shuichi-san is filming "Squid Game"."
"Yes, so I have to ask Kijima-kun to secretly help me gather people during the filming." Nagayama Naoki said, "You know, just like when I was filming "Love Letter", execute it secretly!"
"But this?"
"Only four or five people are enough! I'll go to another studio to search for the rest!" Naoki Nagayama said, "Such a big crew, with just a few people missing, Shuichi-san shouldn't be able to discover it even for a while!"
"Why doesn't Naoki-san communicate directly with Shuichi-san?!" Kijima Kyor was puzzled.
"I will tell you! But it will be later!" Nagayama Naoki said with a bitter face, "I was very jealous when I went abroad to play with Shuichi-san. Now if I beg him, I will definitely be embarrassed and the extraction of people will be very slow. .”
Although he will definitely achieve his goal in the end, he will definitely be annoyed by some strange people, and then maybe they will put forward conditions, such as letting his film be the opening of the Tokyo International Film Festival.
"But..." Kijima Xu looked at Naoki Nagayama faintly, "Naoki-san, I am also preparing for "101 Proposals" and I am also worried about the manpower."
"???"
Naoki Nagayama then remembered that "101 Proposals" had been handed over to Kijima Kyon for execution~
But Shuichi-san is a senior executive, so he can naturally shirk it a little bit. But Kijima Kyū, what kind of person do you think you are, do you dare to steal people from me?
"Kijima-kun~" Nagayama Naoki patted Kijima Kyon's shoulder, stared at him, and spoke with encouragement in a gentle tone, "I believe you will coordinate well!"
"."
This is a threat, it must be a threat!
Kijima Kyor looked at Nagayama Naoki's expression, which revealed the threat of "if I don't agree, "101 Proposals" will be postponed indefinitely"!
".Hey, I'll do your best!"
"Hmm~"
In the Shuyu Building in Ikebukuro, Takeharu Kawahara drove Shizuka Kudo to the headquarters of the firm.
"Wu Chunsang, why did Dayou-sang suddenly ask me to come here?"
Shizuka Kudo, who is wearing cool clothes, has started to grow her hair long, and she looks youthful and energetic. This is exactly the image she shows to all her fans now, a young girl full of energy!
"I don't know, it seems like there is a mission assigned."
Kawahara Takeharu only received a simple message from the pager, so he rushed over immediately after the recording of Kudo Shizuka's announcement.
"Okay. Is there some big variety show?"
Kudo Shizuka's popularity has been rising rapidly recently, and she has taken part of the field vacated by Matsuda Seiko, and now there is a trend of rising stars.
The overall magnitude of the recent announcements and activities has gone up a notch.
She thought that the firm must have got another good opportunity for her!
"There's no point guessing here, let's go straight up!"
Takeharu Kawahara greeted Xing Jiahua at the front desk, asked Yoshimura Otomo if he was in the office, and then took the elevator to the top floor with Shizuka Kudo.
"Dong dong~"
"Please come in~"
Takeharu Kawahara pushed open the thick solid wood door of his office and saw Otomo Yoshimura who was immersed in processing documents.
"Otomo-san, I'm bringing Shizuka-chan!"
"Ah, you are here!" Yoshimura Otomo did not close the document, but just said to the two of you, "Hurry up, sit down, have a drink, and wait until I finish processing this document."
"Hi!"
The weather is hot, but naturally there is a cool breeze in the director's office, and there is even a small refrigerator stocked with drinks. The benefits of the Shuyou Group have indeed improved a lot~
This was not the first time that Kudo Shizuka came to the office. She was carefree by nature and took a bottle of frozen oolong tea from the refrigerator to drink. Kawahara Takeharu was much more reserved and just sat on the sofa quietly drinking cold water.
Within a few minutes, Yoshimura Otomo signed his opinion on the paper and then closed the document:
"Long time waiting~"
"No, no, not at all~" Kawahara Takeharu waved his hands repeatedly, "Otomo-san, you are so anxious to ask us to come over. Is something wrong with Shizuka-chan?"
"Ah, it's not a bad thing!" Yoshimura Otomo smiled, took a file bag from the table, walked to the sofa and handed it to Kawahara Takeharu, "This is a song, Shizuka-chan's next song~"
"??" Takeharu Kawahara said in surprise as he opened the seal, "But isn't Shizuka-chan's next song already decided?"
"Well, let's change it to this one!" Yoshimura Otomo's words were unquestionable.
"Forehead"
The song has obviously been decided, but it has to be changed at short notice? ! The changes in manpower and material resources involved are not small. What's more, Otomo-san is so sure that this song is better than the previous one? !
Takeharu Kawahara and Shizuka Kudo looked at each other in surprise.
Until I pulled out the music score and saw the name on it: ""I really want to say I love you loudly"? Written and composed by Naoki Nagayama?!"
Kawahara Takeharu looked at Yoshimura Otomo in surprise:
"Is this Naoki-san's new song?!"
"Yes." Yoshimura Otomo took a sip from the tea cup, "Naoki-san thinks this song is very suitable for Shizuka-chan, and also thinks that Shizuka-chan can go up when the critical moment comes! That's why she created a song for her. A new song.”
It’s understandable that Takeharu Kawahara is excited! Why change the song? Because Naoki-san's new song will definitely enter the top ten of the charts!
This is almost an unbreakable theorem!
The song "Sunshine Girl" by Shizuka Kudo has been at the top of the list for a summer vacation! Now that the weather is getting hotter, people are singing again!
Kudo Shizuka was also very surprised when she took the music score and read it.
"
君に梦中なことにREASONなんてないのにそのwristはLUoむことはない
(I don’t know when I started falling in love with you for no reason)
(My eyes are always following you)
里さない揺るがない Crazy for you (I can’t live without you, I’m hopelessly crazy for you)
My name is Jun Hao (I really want to say loudly that I like you)
Yong気でstepみ出そう (Have the courage to take the first step!)
"
"." Looking at these explicit lyrics, the little girl's face began to look strange, "These are all sarcastic words!"
This is completely a song of confession!
"It's a very passionate song, isn't it?!" Otomo Yoshimura laughed, "This is a very difficult song!
However, Naoki-san believes in Shizuka-chan, and I believe you will be able to understand the emotions and interpret it well! That’s why I created it especially for you! "
Yoshimura Otomo thought that Kudo Shizuka might be a little excited and worried that her singing would not be good, so he continued to encourage her.
After hearing what Yoshimura Otomo said, Kudo Shizuka felt even more upset!
"What does it mean?!"
"Why did Naoki-san compose such an emotional song for me?! This is a song for a person who has a crush to confess his feelings!"
"Are you sure I can feel the feelings?!"
"Are you attracted to me?!"
"."
There were many thoughts in her mind, just like a bunch of people arguing, which made Shizuka Kudo's head a little big, but in the end, there was a thought that echoed in her mind, and the voice became louder and louder.
"Doesn't Nagayama Naoki have Akina Nakamori?! Why did he fall in love with me again?!"
Another voice followed closely:
"Should I accept Naoyama Naoki?!"
"."
The latter voice became louder and louder, gradually surpassing other thoughts, completely occupying Shizuka Kudo's head, making her feel dizzy.
At this time, Yoshimura Otomo and Kawahara Takeharu were discussing the subsequent recording and the adjustment of the next song, and also talked about finding a music teacher for Shizuka Kudo to take time to tutor her.
Neither of them noticed that Shizuka Kudo's expression was getting more and more broken.
