Tokyo Bubble Life Chapter 636

Chapter 636 644, I obviously have so many good ideas!

Itou Shuichi's "Love Has Ended Like the Rain" was being filmed in full swing in that small restaurant. Ever since they found a way to make Takewaki Mugo look ugly, the entire crew's filming schedule has sped up.

“Ka! Okay!” Yi Tangxiu nodded and said to the actors on the scene, “This works well!”

Then the actors said something with a somewhat relieved smile: "Come on, let's save one! Thank you all for your hard work!"

As we all know, directors who like to do this are generally regarded as gods by actors.

This is not the first time Itou Shuichi has done this. I don't know when he started to awaken the built-in skills of the director. In addition to crazy NG, he also learned to keep one, do another, improvise, and you watch the performance. .

The numerous skills make the crew busy and fulfilling, and the actors seem to have a direction and feel at ease (no!)~

“Ka! Very good!” Itou Shuichi was finally satisfied, “Everyone, let's take a rest!”

In short, after finally waiting for the intermission, Shuichi Itou started thinking about the next shooting scene while drinking Coke in the restaurant.

“Shuichi-san.” Komori Masataka found him, “After the next one, we will go to the festival in the evening.”

“Well, how are the arrangements for the festival?” Itou Shuichi asked.

“Because tomorrow is the Sanja Festival in Asakusa, it is easier to meet our request for renting a venue.” Masataka Komori explained that fortunately there are orthodox programs, otherwise it would really cost a lot to prepare various stalls.

“What about the extras?”

"They were all found through professional agencies! None of them can act!" Masataka Komori said, "Only our actors will be acting. Others have been asked not to look at the camera and to ensure that they act like original tourists. !”

Itou Shuichi kept nodding his head after hearing this. With an experienced and capable assistant director like Komori Masataka, the filming could go so smoothly!

“By the way, will Naoki-sang come at night?”

"This. When I told him before, I said I was coming to join in the fun~" Masataka Komori said, "But I didn't say when I would come."

On the other side, Naoki Nagayama and two people from Fuji TV felt a little helpless after drinking coffee.

In such a good TV series such as "Love Century", the other party did not accept filming and broadcasting? This clearly means that Naoki Nagayama has not yet recognized his strength! In other words, until now, the relationship with the TV station is just a transaction between two parties.

"This is not possible~" Nagayama Naoki drove back to the studio, "We need to improve the status of tree friends in the TV station~"

At least the TV station must be eager to cooperate with tree friends!

“Otomo-san!” Nagayama Naoki quickly walked into the office, “You were right~”

Yoshimura Otomo was reading a magazine and laughed when he heard this: "Yeah, Fuji TV still needs to think about it."

“Well, I thought we could talk based on our previous friendship, but I didn't expect it was just a transaction~” Naoki Nagayama sat on his seat and spread his hands.

Yoshimura Otomo continued: "Who said that in our previous cooperation with TV stations, we always let it go after reaching it~"

"For example, "Twilight Meow", another example is "Newspeak Buzzword Awards", and the two previous TV series"

These columns, which are closely related to Shuyou, were all initiated by Shuyou Group or Naoki Nagayama. In the early days, Shuyou also tried their best to promote a series of cooperation, but in the end, they were all taken over by the TV station. , only the right to make suggestions is left in the column.

Isn't this the same as being a cook? After cooking, he feeds the food to the guests, but the restaurant gets the money he earns while he is just a worker.

“Yes, although there is a framework agreement, it has always been Fuji TV that has taken the initiative.” Naoki Nagayama sighed.

Yoshimura Otomo did not continue to pour cold water: "Nao Shu-san, after all, the foundation of Shuyou Pictures is still in the film industry. In this field, our initiative has basically been established."

Shuyu Pictures' own production team and distribution team have been set up. Through Shuichi-san's relationship, even the connection with Tokyo University of the Arts has been stabilized. Next, several famous people will be cultivated through film production. The director can win awards recognized by the industry, and then build a film and television base. The foundation of a century-old film company like Shochiku will be there.

Nagayama Naoki nodded, agreeing with this point.

“But... I always feel that I have been underestimated by Fuji TV.” Nagayama Naoki sighed, “There are obviously many good variety show ideas~”

Nagayama Naoki's mind flashed through the future very famous Runningman, late-night cafeteria, the life he yearned for, where is dad, talent shows and various variety shows he had watched.

I have so many good ideas, are they all useless?

Yoshimura Otomo heard this: "Naoki-san, there is more than one TV station in Japan~"

"Um?"

Nagayama Naoki looked at the calm-faced Mediterranean. Could it be that this old man had something behind his back?

“Naoki-san, some time ago I had a good relationship with the program producers of various TV stations and ministers!”

Yoshimura Otomo showed some pride on his face. After gaining confidence, he picked up his ability to make friends when he was young. Now he can be called a social butterfly at the wine table!

"If Naoki-san needs it, I can always introduce the backbone of the production bureaus of other TV stations!"

Nagayama Naoki showed admiration: "Otomo-san, you are really amazing!"

“Hahaha, it's nothing~” Otomo Fangcun showed the hypocrisy and humility of a middle-aged man, “It's just that we all had a good time chatting~”

“Naoki-san, decide which TV station?”

Hearing this, Nagayama Naoki fell into deep thought. If he started asking other TV stations to invest in this drama right from the start, he might get the same rejection as Fuji TV, so he still had to build trust first.

“Let me think about it first, we can start with a variety show!”

In short, if it's Runningman, don't even think about Fuji TV!

At night, Naoki Nagayama went to Sensoji Temple according to the address previously mentioned by Masataka Komori.

Because it's close, Naoki Nagayama actually comes here often, but he doesn't really like to come here during big festivals. It's really lively, but there are too many people.

Besides, I am a celebrity now, so it is very troublesome to wear makeup for fear of being recognized.

However, today is still one day away from Sensoji Temple's Sanja Festival. Not many people actually came, but the atmosphere in the temple has already risen. There are white flags and red paper lanterns everywhere, with incomprehensible writings. runes.

Inflatable stalls have been set up one by one, and some stall owners have also started business. In addition to food such as takoyaki, taiyaki, and skewers, there are also mini games such as goldfish fishing, water balloon fishing, and cork shooting.

Nagayama Naoki looked around and quickly found the crowd gathered in the crew. A large number of extras had already started walking around step by step. They looked normal, as if they were really here to participate in the festival.

He quietly walked to the set, blended in like an ordinary tourist, and actually started fishing for goldfish.

Not long after, the stall owner looked at him with a helpless look. Four or five paper bags were torn, but he still hadn't picked up a single goldfish. Sir, please let that goldfish go!

“Naoki-san! What are you doing!”

Itou Shuichi discovered Naoki Nagayama who was among the group performers and yelled at him after a scene was shot. "Didn't you see that they were fishing for goldfish?" Nagayama Naoki shrugged and nodded to other acquaintances such as Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyor, "Because Shuichi-san you were filming, so you didn't come. I'm disturbing you!"

As soon as Itou Xiu walked over, he saw four or five torn paper bags at his feet and the helpless expression on the stall owner's face. He couldn't help but drag Naoki Nagayama to the camera. He felt it was so embarrassing. ~

“Xiu Yisang, isn't it because you haven't mastered the strength to catch the goldfish? If I practice for a while, I will be able to catch the fish. Besides, I haven't given you any money yet.”

"Naoki-san, stop talking, that boss is actually our extra!" Itou Shuichi sighed, "You, a director, actually played a little game on the set and you are so old!"

". Shouldn't others be allowed to have a childlike innocence?" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Besides, Shuichi-san, you don't know, in fact, after people reach middle age, many people like fishing because they failed to catch goldfish when they were young. I'm not willing to leave behind.”

Itou Shuichi decided not to continue discussing with this guy, otherwise he didn't know what strange things he would say.

“Now that Naoki-san is here, please help direct the scenes of "Love Will End Like the Rain"!"

Nagayama Naoki shook his head: "Shuichi-san, I just watched your shooting. This crew has completely adapted to your shooting rhythm. Everyone performed well and the shooting went smoothly. I will step in now." If so, it's actually quite redundant~”

“Um” Itou Shuichi felt like he was being praised by the teacher, “Then Naoki-san came here specifically to visit the class?”

“No, it's because I'm very free.”

Sure enough, after just saying a few words to Nagayama Naoki, I want to hit him!

After thinking for a few seconds, Itou Shuichi decided not to argue too much with this guy, and just said:

"Then Naoki-san, just take a look first. Don't bother our extras anymore~"

“Hi hi~”

So, under the continued direction of Itou Shuichi, in "Love Stops Like the Rain", the heroine Tachibana likes the store manager, and is discovered by Tachibana's few good friends.

“Are we just good friends on the track and field?”

Tachibana's friend's heart-wrenching question made Tachibana, who was sensitive and entangled in her heart, not sure how to reply, so she could only watch her friend turn away with a cold face.

“Alas, you will regret your life!” Nagayama Naoki stood next to the camera, watching this scene and sighed, “Kijimkun, are you right?”

Kishima Kyū, who usually doesn't talk much, was a little speechless. From the beginning, Naoki-san stood next to his camera and chattered non-stop, and pulled him to start saying some weird things.

After director Shuichi Itou shouted "Ka", the crew began to prepare for the next scene, and at this time, Kijima Kyor finally had time to speak:

“Arnold, Naoki Sang. Do you have anything to say to me?”

“Hoho, Kijimkun is still very smart~” Naoki Nagayama patted his shoulder and pulled him aside, “Kijimkun, do you still remember the last time you filmed “Love Letter”?”

Naoki Nagayama naturally didn't just come to see the crew filming in the evening. He had already proposed the filming of the movie "Summer of Kikujiro" with Otomo Yoshimura in the morning, and now naturally he wanted to start creating his own team.

Hearing this, Kijima Kyor suddenly raised his head: "Naoki-san, do you want to find someone to make another movie halfway through?!"

Halfway through the filming of the last "Midnight Bell", Naoki Nagayama was dragged to secretly film "Love Letter". Although he was not discovered due to his weak sense of existence, when the truth was finally exposed, he was He was complained a lot by his friend Masataka Komori and his immediate superior Shuichi Itou.

As a good friend/subordinate, you didn't even tell us about helping Naoki Nagayama make a movie? Do you still consider me a friend? Do you still want to hang out in Shuyou?

Fortunately, his presence was too low, and there was a lot of work during those days. After two days, they couldn't find Kijima Xu's person, so they forgot about the subsequent punishment.

"Yeah. Around July, until the filming of "Love Stops Like the Rain" is finished." Naoki Nagayama nodded.

“Wouldn't it be followed by “High School 2” and “Midnight Ring 2”?” Kyū Kijima also knows about this year's filming plan.

"This is a film that was temporarily inserted, called "The Summer of Kikujiro."" Nagayama Naoki explained, "As the name suggests, it is to be filmed in the summer! So I am starting to gather the filming team now!"

“Could it be.”

Kijima Xu subconsciously raised his voice, but after reacting, he quickly asked in a low voice, "Is this also a secret filming?"

"No! This is not true!" Naoki Nagayama reassured, "This was registered with the company and was shot openly."

“Then why did you tell me quietly?” Kijima Xu was puzzled.

"Because according to the plan for the second half of the year, the people in the company's shooting team have been assigned according to the plan. If I ask Shuichi-san for someone at this time, he will definitely refuse!" Nagayama Naoki said, "It's just Kijimkun. If so, if I borrow you, Xiu Yisang probably won't find out!"

Kijima Xu said that this time it was very hurt.

Nagayama Naoki said: "Kijimkun, this time you will be my assistant director for "Kikujiro's Summer". You can also start building your own shooting team!"

At Shuyou Pictures, currently there are only Naoki Nagayama, Shuichi Itou, and Masataka Komori who can lead their own team to shoot. Masataka Komori has been given the opportunity to direct "Midnight Ring 2" alone.

Among the remaining people, Naoki Nagayama is actually very optimistic about Kyū Kijima, an experienced guy who has never been noticed. What does it matter if your presence is low? When you carry the Best Director Award trophy on your back in the future, you will be noticed wherever you go!

“This” Kijima was moved~

Generally speaking, there are many promotion routes for directors, but the most orthodox one is from record keeping, execution, to director's assistant, assistant director, and finally working in the theater for seven or eight years before you can actually direct, and you have accumulated considerable experience and connections. Direct a film.

However, this is a bit difficult for Kijima Kyor. Because his sense of presence is too low, the longer he works on the crew, the less likely he is to be promoted.

"How about it? Kijimkun, do you want to come with me?" Nagayama Naoki stretched out his hand towards him, "If you agree, I will take Otomo-san's route and transfer you here."

The tangle on Kijima Kyor's face flashed away, and then he held Nagayama Naoki's hand tightly: "Naoki-san, I'll do it with you!"

“Haha, that's good~”

Today's goal was finally achieved, and Naoki Nagayama felt a lot better.

“Kijimkun, take a look at the good people in the filming team and have a chat with them~ If possible, I'll bring them all over after the filming of this movie is completed!”

“Hi! I got it!”

Kijima Xu nodded seriously. Although his presence was low, after so long, he had formed bonds with many people and made them proudly pay attention to him.

A bit stuck~ That's why it's evening~

But there is one more chapter!
