Tokyo bubble life

Naturally, I couldn't sleep in the old house that was used as a studio at night.

Do you really want to get in touch with Miss Sadako?

A group of people stayed in a hotel in Izu Oshima, and it was foreseeable that this stay would take four or five days.

In the open-air dining room of the hotel, the entire crew had dinner here, while Naoki Naoyama and Shuichi Itou chatted while having a drink.

"Naoki-san, are you sure that the program called "Twilight Meow Meow" is going to start?"

Naoki Yongshan nodded: "If there are no accidents, the preparations will be completed next week, the recording will be released next week."

"So fast?" Itou Shuichi was a little surprised.

"Hahaha, with the backing of Fuji TV, it's just a variety show, so of course there's nothing wrong with it." Naoki Naoyama said easily.

"But as I said last time, this time it's not about selecting a certain idol to debut, but the entire group. Is it really okay?"

Itou Shuichi was still a little worried.

"I established a company to deal with the debut, and this time I have the support of Burning Agency. There is nothing to worry about." This reflects the role of Etsuro Kikuchi.

"So Naoki-san is going back next week?"

"I always have to take a look." Naoki Yongshan didn't make any excuses, "It's just a look, someone will handle the specific affairs."

"That's good~"

Yi Tangxiu drank a glass of beer and let out a long sigh of relief, "The filming of "Midnight Ring" was probably completed when that program was released."

"Yeah, it's released before Halloween, and I can participate in this year's movie selection." Naoki Naoyama said with a smile.

"By the way, the evaluation of "Hot-Blooded High School"?"

"The people behind that movie seem to have nothing to do." Naoki Naoyama didn't care at all, the film's release period is almost over, and those smearing forces really have nothing to do.

"I'm afraid they will be judging." Itou Shuichi was still a little worried.

"Xiuichi-san, it's not that you don't have teachers and classmates from the film school, it's not that I don't have friends in the film industry, it's not that Kadokawa doesn't have money and channels, what are you afraid of~"

Speaking of which, in the film industry, Shuyou Yinghua may not be said to be a big boss, but its ability to resist external turmoil is not weak.

"It's true~" Yi Tangxiu let go of the mentality of worrying about gains and losses, there is no way, it's only been more than two years, and he hasn't practiced with that kind of calmness, "Come on, Naoki-san, cheers!"

"cheers!"

After dawn on the second day, the entire crew slowly rejuvenated, and the entire shooting process proceeded in an orderly manner.

With the addition of Naoki Nagayama, the shooting progress of "Midnight Ring" has once again been raised to a higher level.

Shuichi Ido is a very experienced director with a professional background, but when he shoots movies, he is used to the old-fashioned director's method, shooting multiple images, and then selecting the most suitable one for editing, which of course increases the workload a lot times.

Naoki Yongshan is completely different, he usually only has one!

I don't know much about the theory of film, if you talk to him about montage, postmodernism, etc., he can still say something;

But what do you want to talk to him about the difference between classic film theory and modern film theory, or the difference between the first film semiotics and the second film semiotics?

Then just stay for a while.

However, with the help of the movies he has watched in the future, Naoki Naoyama can always select those shots that have been tested by fans in advance, thus reducing the shots that originally required multiple guarantees to a minimum.

For example when searching for buried wells in the basement:

"Zheng Xiao-jun, when taking pictures of the basement, you can't use a flashlight with such a large aperture, you should use a flashlight with a smaller range. This way, it will not be able to illuminate other places, which will increase the sense of horror of the unknown!"

When examining the remains of Sadako Yamamura:

"Yuko-san, you are panicking at this time, but it's not about the bones. You are already a senior reporter with rich experience, so you won't be frightened to this level, but it should be a kind of anxiety and relief, because you found the bones , it will solve the problem!"

But in the evening, when shooting Sadako climbing out of the well, Naoki Naoyama always felt a little bit worse:

"Xiu Yisang, Hua Lingsang's body sense is very good, and the feeling of stiffness is also shown, but there is always something lacking."

Standing next to Igarashi Hualing in fluttering white clothes, if she hadn't brushed her hair to the front, she would actually look pretty good!

However, the original novel of "Midnight Ring" does say that Sadako is a beautiful female image, which is quite consistent.

Yi Tangxiu took a look at Igarashi Hualing: "There is no problem with Hua Lingsang's physical strength, is it because of the light or angle, we need to change it?"

"Well, let me think about it." Naoki Yongshan walked to the well in the forest, walked back and forth, thinking about how to shoot better clips.

"Climbing out of the well. Climbing out of the well and so on, what if instead of climbing out of the well, you're forced back by the well?

Aren't the ground-bound spirits unable to leave the ground where they are bound? ! "

Naoki Naoyama had a flash of inspiration, and said to Igarashi Hua Ling who played Sadako: "Haling-san, the stiffness and body movements are still the same as before, but this time, try to walk in backwards!"

"Huh?" X2, Shuichi Itou also expressed his puzzlement.

"That's why we filmed her walking backwards into the well, and then edited it out along the way!" Shuichi Yitang said, "Ms. Zheng Xiao, come on, this film is a bit special, change to a new one!"

"Hi!"

Hualing Igarashi, who understood what she understood, tried to walk backwards a few times, gradually became proficient, and started shooting.

For the same movement, if you walk backwards, it is of course more difficult than walking normally. When the director sees it on the monitor, the distortion of the whole process is indeed much more twisted than walking forwards.

"Xiuichi-san, if you follow the editing again later, then the scene of climbing out of the well will have the feeling of moving forward and backward at the same time, it will definitely be very weird!" Naoki Yongshan laughed.

"Yeah, it feels weird looking at it now, and I will definitely get goosebumps then!" Shuichi Ido also nodded in agreement.

It was already late to finish the filming. Naoki Naoyama and Shuichi Itou discussed it and ended today's filming.

"Tomorrow, I will use black and white film to shoot when Yamamura Sadako's mother, Shizuko, is here!" Shuichi Itou explained tomorrow's shooting plan, "There will also be some data images of Sadako later."

"There are about two days of work left." Itou Shuichi continued, "Thanks to Naoki-san, the efficiency has increased a lot."

"Hahaha." Naoki Yongshan waved his hand, and instead of accepting credit, he said, "Xiu Yisang, if you want to take pictures, it's best to take more pictures of the scene here."

"Huh? Why?"

"It's a spare for later!" Naoki Naoyama said, "I think the movie "Midnight Ring" will definitely sell well, and it can be used in sequels, sequels, and so on."

"Has Naoki-san actually thought this far?" Shuichi Ido admired.

When I returned to the hotel in the evening, I had dinner with the crew again, and ran for a while in the hot spring. When I returned to the room to rest, Naoki Naoyama's pager rang.

In the hotel on Izu Oshima, there was no telephone in the room, so Naoki Naoyama had to call back at the front desk.

"Naoki-san?" In the apartment in Tokyo, Akina Nakamori waited for the phone to ring and answered it.

"Akina, it's me." Yongshan Naoki replied leaning against the pillar, "Has Akina returned home yet?"

"Hi, today's rehearsal is over." Akina Nakamori sat cross-legged on the sofa, drinking ice milk while talking to Naoki Nagayama, "Where is Naoki-san, are you in Kyoto?"

"No, I'm on a big island. Does Izu Oshima know?" Naoki Naoyama continued without waiting for her answer, "Just next to the Izu Peninsula, there is an active volcano called Mount Mihara."

"Ah, it's there!" Nakamori Akina exclaimed, "Isn't that the holy place for suicide?"

"Akina knows too?" Naoki Naoyama laughed, "It's a scary place."

Akina Nakamori sat up straight, and said a little nervously: "When I was in school, some classmates always spread this kind of rumors, saying that if they really can't do it, they will jump from the crater of Mihara Mountain or something."

"Is Akina's classmate so world-weary?" Naoki Naoyama was speechless. In this day and age, Heisei trash should not have come out yet, right?

"No, it's just that it's cool to say that!" Mingcai curled her lips, "When those guys see others being scared, they always talk about it."

"Ah, a student in adolescence." Naoki Yongshan understood that teenagers in this period said everything they wanted to attract the attention of others.

"Arnold Naoki-san, don't jump off!" Akina earnestly begged.

Naoki Yongshan almost laughed out loud: "Akina, what are you talking about? Why should I jump off?"

"I heard that there is a strange kind of resentment there. It is the resentment of those who committed suicide there before. It will lure all those who go there with resentment and despair in their hearts, and they will be tempted to jump from the crater to join them!"

Akina on the phone was talking about the gossip stories she had heard, and finally said, "Anyway, Naoki-san, please don't stay there any longer!"

"How can we do that? There are still three days of filming!" Naoki Yongshan comforted, "Don't worry, we bought a lot of amulets from the local witches, and we will do some rituals every time we shoot."

This is true. There are more than one or two people who are superstitious in this era. The crew will bring a mage with them every day. They don’t do anything, just chant scriptures in the room.

"Is that so?" It's a matter of career, Nakamori Akina has no choice but, "But Naoki-san, remember, no matter what happens, there is someone in Tokyo who is waiting for you to go back!"

Feeling the warmth in his heart, Naoki Yongshan slowly opened his mouth and said:

"Hey, I got it! Minna should also remember that no matter what happens, there is someone waiting for you!"

The sour and stinky love language during the passionate love period made the hotel owner who occasionally heard it feel uncomfortable.

After glancing at Naoki Nagayama, he rolled his eyes and hurriedly left the front desk with the excuse of inspection.

The chat afterwards became more relaxed, and we chatted until late at night.

Akina Nakamori's rehearsal in Tokyo is a busy time, sometimes at the Kayo Festival in the morning, and at the screening in the afternoon, and sometimes at night to teach the movements of the red and white stage.

If there is no rehearsal, then the announcements will come to the door one by one according to the time node. In short, there is not much free time.

Naoki Naoyama's side is alright, he only has two movies and one show on him, so there's still some room for moving around.

"Mingcai, in about a week, I will go back to Tokyo and see you again!"

"Hmm~" Akina agreed, and then asked, "Naoki-san, where is the filming of "Love Letter"?"

"I guess it will be mid-November, when will it snow, and when will I go to shoot!" Naoki Naoyama is not sure, it will definitely snow in Hokkaido in November, but Kobe City is not sure, " In short, we will definitely shoot twice in November, one in Kobe and one in Otaru!"

"Hi~"

When Naoki Yongshan finally hung up the phone, the hotel owner Shi Shiran returned to the front desk.

Since Sugiura Taitai confirmed the launch of "Twilight Meow Meow", all the people involved have started to move.

Etsuro Kikuchi went to the Burning office again, found Zhou Fang Yuxiong, asked for contacts in the Burning department, and released a demand for program assistants throughout Japan.

Under the promotion of TV and radio advertisements and many offices, many school-age girls have already called or written to sign up.

Because there is no need for the high selection criteria of the draft, the first batch of program assistants drafted by Etsuro Kikuchi are all relatively close to Tokyo.

After gathering people together, after two days of training, you will be ready to play at any time!

But I still called Fangcun Dayu: "Dayou-san, my side is almost ready. Is there any problem with the schedule of the three Maoyan sisters?"

Fangcun Dayou naturally answered well on the phone: "Hi, it's free, and you can go to the rehearsal anytime."

Etsuro Kikuchi nodded and said, "That's good. Ayano Fukuhara and Saaka Nonaka on my side have also been looking forward to it for a long time!"

"It's the reunion of the wild cat group." Otomo Fangcun has always been obsessed with this original girl group brought out by himself, "I hope this time can last for a long time!"

"Otomo-san, it's definitely possible! The wild cat group, and the backup kitten club!" Etsuro Kikuchi was full of confidence, "We will definitely make these two girl groups popular all over Japan!"

"Hahaha, I hope so!"

And Yasushi Akimoto, one of the core characters, was also soaking in the studio of Fuji TV all day at this time, supervising the stage layout and writing scripts at the same time.

"What song should I use to start the show? If it's dancing, it will be too difficult, and I need training, right?"

"There are also the guests of the first episode, are they the two-person Kitten Club of the Maoyan Three Sisters and the Wildcat Group?"

Yasushi Akimoto suddenly saw a decorated head of a cat on the stage, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Cat ears?! And the cat dance when it just came out?"

"Although girls may not be so sexy if they come to dance, isn't it interesting for a group of girls who want to grow up?!"

After determining the direction, Akimoto Yasushi immersed himself in writing!

This grand appearance can't be wrong at all!

When writing about the filming process, I had to watch the analysis of "Midnight Ring", and I was so worried about it!
