Chapter 1113 1122, If you want to do something, you must do it to the best of your ability!

The news of the closing ceremony of the Tokyo International Film Festival dominated the screens of major media newspapers. Although most of them were praiseworthy, with only some different titles and pictures, some newspapers wanted to attract attention.

""The film festival was a complete success, but why did Naoki Nagayama gain nothing? The hidden story behind it.""

Akina read the headline of the report and looked at her husband in confusion.

"Naoki-san, are you just going to let reports like this spread nonsense?"

This report makes a lot of groundless accusations about possible reasons, including that Naoki Nagayama was too arrogant, that he offended someone, or that he was not worthy of his reputation.

"They have their own mouths, so they can say whatever they want~"

Naoki Nagayama doesn't care about the speculations in the newspapers at all. He came from the information age. Compared with the various speculations and gossips on the early Tianya Forum and Baidu Tieba, the newspapers are simply too kind and have no destructive power at all!

"But, if I say that, won't it damage Naoki-san's reputation?"

Akina was a little angry. Even if someone reported her, she wouldn't be so angry, but since it involved Nagayama Naoki, she couldn't just sit back and watch.

"Should we contact the newspaper and ask them to apologize?!"

Even Akina is now able to put pressure on some media. After all, her popularity remains high after her comeback, and her influence in the entertainment industry is still great.

"No need~"

Naoki Nagayama ate his delicious breakfast with big mouthfuls.

"I don't have the time and energy to play with the media. I'll just buy this newspaper and fire the editor when I get the chance."

"."

Mingcai was stunned. This is a bit too exaggerated.

"Akina, I'm done." Naoki Nagayama finished his breakfast in a few bites and said to Akina, "Today's filming schedule is very heavy, I have to go to the set early."

"Hi!"

Akina nodded. She didn't have much to do today, so she could stay at home. She also had to prepare for the cherry blossom viewing party.

At this time, Naoki Nagayama came to the crib, picked up the twisting and turning Xia Hua, and walked into the yard.

The blooming cherry blossoms covered the branches, forming a pink and white cloud. The petals that fell with the wind accumulated on the dry landscape, like a flower carpet.

"Sakura, ah Sakura"

Naoki Nagayama opened his mouth and wanted to compose a haiku, but he was not a genius, so he could only close his mouth in dismay.

“Let’s enjoy it with friends!”

The cherry blossom viewing event at Yamazakurain is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, so I have to ask for leave again.

Speaking of it, the filming of the movie "Ghost" was really ill-fated. It hadn't been filming for long, but it had to be suspended after a few days.

Luckily, the male and female lead roles are me and Akina, otherwise the schedules of other actors would be ruined.

At the shooting base in Ota Ward, a set is undergoing final construction.

Stairs, fences, tram carriages, bus stops, railroad tracks, culverts.

This is a subway station.

It is also a subway station that took a lot of effort and money to build, and it was completely modeled after Tokyo's Shinjuku Station.

In fact, at the beginning, we planned to shoot directly at the Tokyo subway station, but after planning, we found that there were many special effects shots to shoot, and many camera positions and slides to be arranged, so we finally decided to build a scene directly.

When Naoki Nagayama arrived at the set, Kyon Kimura had already asked the crew to debug the equipment, and Katsuyoshi Ishikawa was also in the scene:

"Naoki-san you're here!"

Ishikawa Katsuyoshi smiled and greeted Naoki Nagayama, and said with a hint of boasting:

"It took more than a month to build this subway station. It can be said to be completely one-to-one. It is guaranteed to be exactly the same as the real subway station!"

"Haha~" Naoki Nagayama laughed, "Can we really make the subway run?!"

"It really can!" Ishikawa Katsuyoshi immediately pointed to the dark culvert where the rails extended and said, "The track extends there and actually goes around in a circle! Just like the roller coaster in the amusement park!"

“Then I’ll give it a try.”

Naoki Nagayama was very excited and wanted to get the subway moving.

When I got on the car, at first glance it looked like a real subway car, but when I knocked carefully, I realized it was all made of wooden boards!

However, the diesel locomotive in the front is real, and it should be a used one eliminated by the subway company.

Naoki Nagayama was the boss on the set, so naturally everyone listened to his words. The driver in front started the car, and then the subway car started moving on the track at a slow speed.

The culvert you enter is actually a set, and after you exit, you will see the work shed outside.

"Naoki-san, how is it?" Katsuyoshi Ishikawa said with confidence.

"It's like driving a small train." Naoki Nagayama nodded with satisfaction. This scene was enough. "In the future, the filming base will also have a subway station set!"

This subway station is naturally going to be reused. After all, the platform and other things are really built with steel bars and concrete!

"Naoki-san," Kyon Kijima called out to Naoki Nagayama, "Special actor Yasutaka Ishikawa is here!"

"Hi"

Special actors are unforgettable due to their extremely distinctive features, and some actors even have a more stable status than celebrities.

There are two types of special actors. One type is those who are particularly similar to historical figures and only play a specific character. For example, Mr. Gu Yue, who only plays a teacher, can be said to have the highest status.

Another type is born with a unique appearance, which is particularly suitable for a certain type of role. For example, Ji Chunhua and Du Yuming, who are good at playing villains, are good at playing villains.

Yasutaka Ishikawa is an actor who specializes in playing characters such as monsters and ghosts.

Naoki Nagayama walked over immediately and saw a male actor with a thin figure, a tall frame, and unharmonious facial features. However, he was very recognizable at first glance and was very suitable for playing the role of a weirdo.

"Ishikawa-san"

"Director Nagayama."

"I'm sorry to bother you this time."

"I should thank Director Yongshan for the opportunity."

When Ishikawa Yasutaka went to put on makeup, Naoki Nagayama also changed into special clothes. Speaking of which, because he was a ghost, he didn't need to change into other clothes during the entire filming process.

Gradually, the extras have arrived.

When the actors and crew were ready, Naoki Nagayama had explained the shooting requirements, and Tsuruko walked to the center of the camera with a clapperboard.

"Ghost, Scene 56, first time."

After Tsuruko left quickly, Kyon Kijima called out through the loudspeaker:

"Ready.Action!"

Hirakawa Toshifumi, played by Naoki Nagayama, was chasing the murderer and unknowingly arrived at the subway station.

The murderer quickly ran into the carriage, and Toshifumi Hirakawa also followed him into the subway, trying to track the murderer and find his lair.

However, when the subway was running, one of the passengers suddenly looked at Hirakawa Toshifumi and walked over as if he was provoked.

Ishikawa Yasutoshi, who was wearing a coat and had dark circles under his eyes, grabbed him by the neck:

"How dare you set foot on my territory?!"

“!!!”

Naoki Nagayama was grabbed by the neck by Yasutaka Ishikawa and kept shaking, with his head pressed lower and lower

"Cut!" Kimura shouted, "Do it again. This time, the two actors should adjust their postures a little bit."

"Hi!" X2

After that, Naoki Nagayama and Yasutaka Ishikawa repeated this scene seven times. The reason for repeating it so many times was to coordinate with the subsequent special effects shots.

After this scene, the male protagonist Toshifumi Hirakawa was actually forced out of the carriage by having his head pressed down by Yasutaka Ishikawa. Because they were ghosts, the two of them needed to "pass through" the walls of the carriage.

However, the special effects of this era are very troublesome, and two people need to perform without any real objects under the green screen to facilitate the "cutout" during editing.

When shooting in different scenes, there will naturally be some differences. In order to ensure a smooth transition, you should shoot several poses to find the one with the best transition.

The next scene is still in the subway car, including Ishikawa Yasutoshi pushing the "ghost" of the male protagonist Hirakawa Toshifumi out of the car, and Ishikawa Yasutoshi passing through the railings and the passengers' arms.

There are also concentrated shots, such as when meeting for the second time, knocking items out of the passenger's hand, etc.

Speaking of which, as a supporting role, Yasutaka Ishikawa actually has a pretty sufficient role in this movie, and a large part of the ghost special effects is spent on him.

In the green screen room next to them, Ishikawa Yasutoshi and Naoki Nagayama posed as before, with Ishikawa Yasutoshi still pinching his neck.

"Naoki-san, this time we're shooting without props." Kyon Kimura was describing the situation that was supposed to happen in the carriage. "Ishikawa Yasutoshi will grab your neck and shake you, getting closer and closer to the wall of the carriage. You have to look back and show surprise."

He pointed to a line nearby and said:

"This line is the location of the carriage wall. When you reach it, be terrified!"

"Hey, I understand!"

In fact, Naoki Nagayama knew it, because he was the director! However, what Kyon Kimura said at this time was not only for him to hear, but also for the other crew members to hear.

After all, this was the first time for them to shoot this kind of special effects shot under a green screen.

"Ready.Action!"

Naoki Nagayama was shaken by Yasutaka Ishikawa again, and it felt like his brains were going to be shaken out. I have to say, this special actor is really strong!

"Kacha, that wasn't low enough Naoki-san, try again!"

"Click, adjust your posture, and do another one!"

"."

After Naoki Nagayama checked the shot on the director's monitor and it was finally OK, the entire crew got a ten-minute break.

As the script supervisor, Hezi watched his brother reshooting again and again, even when he felt dizzy and retched, he did not stop.

Just to get the best shot, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Sure enough, only paranoid people can succeed!"

You can't tell during normal times, but he works so hard during filming. It's obvious that Naoki Nagayama has both fame and fortune now, so he doesn't need to force himself like this.

"Ni-chan."

Tsuruko walked to her brother's side, saw the sweat on his forehead, and put a towel on the ground.

“Why do you have to fight so hard?”

Naoki Nagayama took it, wiped his sweat, and took a big sip of the iced drink:

"spell?"

"Yeah. Obviously the first few times were fine. The subsequent shoots were retakes because Ni-chan was not satisfied, right?"

"Ha, this one," Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "If you want to do something, you have to do it to the best of your ability!"

How could he not be optimized in his previous life, but become a senior executive in middle age? Was it because of luck? !

Of course, it was because he joined the company early, but seizing opportunities, doing his best, and doing everything he could to the best of his ability was a habit he developed since he was an orphan.

Although I can lie down in this life, I still have to do my best in what I have to do.

".It's really different from when I was a kid!"

"." Naoki Nagayama shrugged, "People change~"

"Besides, this is our first time trying to shoot special effects shots like this, so the more backup materials the better!"

Hezi nodded as if she understood, but in fact she still didn't quite understand what special effects shooting was like.

But after a while, the filming of "Ghost" continued, and Naoki Nagayama was busy again~

"Dingling bell~"

Yamazakurain's phone rang several times, even waking up Xiahua who was taking an afternoon nap and started crying.

Akina hurried over from the main hall. She was just decorating the living room for the cherry blossom viewing party later.

After coaxing the baby a little, she answered the phone:

"Moshi Moshi. This is Yamazakurain!"

"Moses, Akina-san, this is me, Tanaka Yoshiaki." The voice of Kenon-kai president Hanami Kazuo came from the other end of the line, "This is the TV show recording that Akina-san mentioned before."

"Boss, I haven't decided yet."

"But this time, it was Fuji TV's director Kazuki Takano who called Ken-On and promised him the finale!" Hanami Kaku said, "After all, it was the year-end deluxe edition of Night Hit."

Since "Night Hit" is recorded in advance, the year-end planning has always been very luxurious, and may even surpass the Red and White Songs Festival in terms of sophistication.

"."

Akina Nakamori was also very conflicted. By late October, many TV stations had begun their year-end planning, and she had already been invited to many programs.

Although I have turned down a lot of offers, I can't turn down all of them. In the end, I decided to only record a few shows except the Red and White Songs Contest and the Record Awards.

"But Music Station also sent me an invitation. That's a program planned by Naoki-san."

Facing Hanami Kaku, Akina did not hide her true thoughts.

"What? Naoki-san is a shareholder of Fuji TV!" Hanami Kaku said directly, "Didn't Naoki-san also tell you to choose for yourself?"

"."

Indeed, when I was chatting with Naoki Nagayama before, he said that I could choose any dish and my opinion didn’t need to be considered.

"Yayohit was a big supporter of Akina in the early days." Hanami Kaku played the favor card and advised, "Everyone at Ken-on has received a lot of care from the producer."

Akina’s first major announcement for an audio show was on “Night Hit”, and she actually has a lot of feelings for this show.

"And Yukiko-chan will also be participating in the show."

"Since the president has said so." Akina nodded when she heard that her friend would also participate, "Then let's choose 'Night Hit'."

"Ha, that's great!" Hanami Kaku's tone became more relaxed. "The song is of course 'Passion'. As for the song costumes, does Akina have to make new ones?"

"Don't do one."

Akina looked at the white cherry blossom trees outside, and suddenly she had an inspiration.

"Use a kimono with a white background and cherry blossom pattern. You can also use a white bob!"

"Oh?" Hanami He was stunned. "That's very bold!"

"Haha, 'Passion' is bold to begin with!" Akina continued, "As for the stage, it would be best if it was related to the blooming of cherry blossoms."

"It's not cherry blossom season at the end of the year."

"Who said it wasn't true? Aren't the cherry blossoms in Yamazakurain already in bloom?!"
