Tokyo Bubble Life

 The filming process went very smoothly. The crew gradually found the feeling and became very happy every day during filming.

When most adults recall their childhood summer vacations, they will not remember how hot the temperature was or how strong the sun was. Instead, they only remember the laughter with their friends and the unfettered freedom.

The adults in "Tree Friends" broke away from their boring daily routine and became a group of cheerful minors. They also started playing in the hot weather with the only child in the crew.

 When he arrived in Aichi Prefecture, Masao finally found his mother's address and saw that her mother had formed a new family and had a daughter.

 The introverted little boy finally cried.

"Although I knew it when I read the script, when it came to filming, I was really a little sad." Takeshi Kitano looked at the young protagonist Masao in the camera and said with emotion, "The mother I want to see in my heart, It actually turned into.”

“The core of comedy is tragedy~”

Nagayama Naoki said this famous quote again, and then continued, "But after this part is over, everything is happy~"

 The next step is a few people camping by the river, many funny plots~

 “Kitano-san, go comfort Masao!”

"Isn't his father comforting him?" Takeshi Kitano said, looking at Takumi Fujiki who was also comforting the little boy who stopped crying.

 “No. It’s in the plot! We’re about to shoot the next scene!”

 “Ah, okay~”

 Kitano Takeshi slapped his head and quickly started preparing for the next scene.

At this moment, Kijima Xu came over, holding a blue glass bell in his hand:

 “Naoki-san, the custom-made angel bell has been completed.”

“Ah, that’s right~” Naoki Nagayama took the blue glass bell, but with a slight shake, a pleasant ringing sound could be heard.

 “What an interesting bell!”

Tanaka Yuko liked it very much after seeing it. The crystal clear blue bell looks like a sunny doll with wings. It has a very good appearance. In addition, Tanaka Yuko read the script and knew its meaning.

 She took it in her hand and rubbed it:

 “Zhi Shusang, did you design this?”

Before Nagayama Naoki answered, Kijima Kyun next to him helped to reply: "Yes, there is no such bell on the market at all, so we went to a glass crafts workshop with Naoki-san's design drawing. It was just fired."

“So. This is the only one?” Tanaka Yuko looked at Nagayama Naoki with eyes full of expectation, “Naoki-san, leave it to me as a souvenir after you finish filming the movie~”

“Girls really can’t resist such cute and beautiful things~”

Looking at Yuko Tanaka’s admiration, Naoki Nagayama seems to have seen the expectant looks in the eyes of girls like Akina, Tsuruko and others after the movie was released. Even the company’s female idols and female friends came back to ask for him.

If only I knew that the only one was given to Yuko-san

Nagayama Naoki trembled, as if he was frightened by the subsequent thoughts, so he quickly said: "I will give this one to Yuko-san~"

 Then he said to Kijima Xu: "Let the glass workshop burn an extra batch as a souvenir."

“Wait a minute, we need to apply for a shape patent too!”

 After the movie is released, the bell pendant will definitely set off a wave of craze. The money cannot be made by unscrupulous manufacturers!

 “Hey, I’ll do it right now~” Kijima Xu is already a very mature and capable subordinate~

"We must have found the wrong one!" Takeshi Kitano said to Masao who was still sobbing, "The address is correct, but the person is not!"

Looking at the little boy who couldn't stop, Kikujiro, who was always clumsy, didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only comfort him awkwardly:

“Your mother must have moved away. I’ll wait for my uncle to ask the people nearby. Wait for me here~”

Sitting in front of the public toilet, Kikujiro was anxiously thinking about how to comfort the little boy, but he found a very beautiful glass bell on the motorcycle parked next to him that could also make pleasant ringing sounds.

“What’s hanging on the handlebar?” Kikujiro asked the two motorcycle gangs who came out.

 “That? Angel’s bell.”

"what is that?"

 “It’s a talisman.”

"give it to me!"

"no!"

"why not?"

 “Because my girlfriend gave it to me”

“You actually have a girlfriend like this, and you’re still with a bald head?”

 “He is not my girlfriend.”

"give it to me!"

 “No~”

 “Be careful I’ll take your engine off!”

"do not do that"

With childish threats, after "begging" for a glass bell from the motorcycle gang, I looked at the crystal clear bell and the melodious ringing.

　　 Kikujiro decided to tell a lie!

He came to the edge of the beach, found Zhengnan who was sitting and said, "Your mother has indeed moved away. She left this bell behind and said that she would give it to you if you come.

This is called an angel's bell. It is said that if you ring the bell when you are sad, an angel will come to help you. Shake it and the angels will take you to your mother."

  Lies full of loopholes are the little boy Zhengnan’s only life-saving straw at this time.

“Ka!” Nagayama Naoki shouted loudly from beside the camera, “Kitano-san, that’s great! You said this big line very well!”

In this scene, Kikujiro, played by Takeshi Kitano, is the main character, and the little boy next to him only needs to keep his head buried. Takeshi Kitano plays the image of a clumsy but kind-hearted uncle very vividly.

 “Aligado~”

 Kitano Takeshi was a little embarrassed by the praise. Naoki-san is good at everything, especially when it comes to praising others. He really likes to tell the truth!

“The next step is to take a long shot of leaving from the beach!” Nagayama Naoki said, “We are about to start on the way back!”

 “Hi~~” Everyone in the crew quickly started preparing for the next scene.

Tanaka Yuko walked over from the nearby beach, barefoot and wearing a large wide-brimmed hat with sun protection. She seemed to really regard this trip with the crew as a vacation~

 “Zhi Shusang, are you actually going back already?”

“Well, I can’t find my mother~” Naoki Nagayama said, “Of course I have to go back~”

"Did the shooting actually happen so fast?" Yuko Tanaka counted the numbers, "It's only been more than a week! If we continue shooting at this pace, wouldn't Naoki-san be able to finish the movie in half a month?! "

“The first half of the film is almost over!” Nagayama Naoki complained, “Besides, the second half is even more difficult to shoot.”

 The subsequent scenes of camping by the river, playing, fights at the temple fair, etc. were all very troublesome to shoot. Especially the temple fair, because it was not at the right time, so they really had to set up a temple fair by themselves.

“Haha, can Naoki-san finish filming before the end of August?”

“Of course there is no problem!” Nagayama Naoki said to Tanaka Yuko, “The biggest feature of Shuyu’s films cannot be missing from me!”

While Nagayama Naoki was anxious to shoot, Tokyo did not stop, and entertainment news in the entertainment industry was also rapidly iterated.

The love affair between Seiko Matsuda and Hiromi Go is in full swing, and it seems that it has reached the point of getting married. All fans and media are waiting for the official announcement and looking forward to a grand wedding like Yamaguchi Momoe.

On the other hand, the new generation Okada Yukiko has also gained momentum after her debut in April. She has to compete with new generation idols such as Yoshikawa Koji, Oginome Yoko and other new generation idols for this year's best newcomer.

 Fuji TV's "Twilight Meow" introduced a special "reality show" model, which sparked heated discussions among the industry and the audience, occupying the entertainment pages in early August.

There are also popular celebrities and artists who are also competing fiercely. Scandals are constantly being revealed, and they all want to strive for more exposure and fame~

 Tomoya Shimoda, the editor of "Weekly Bunshun", is chatting with Shinnosuke Matsuzawa, a freelance writer.

“Shimoda-san, do you feel that something is suddenly missing now?” Shinnosuke Matsuzawa looked a little irritated, “There seems to be something missing in the entertainment world!”

Tomoya Shimoda put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at it curiously: "What's missing? Ah, you mean Akina Nakamori?"

As a top artist in the idol world, Akina Nakamori’s exposure was as good as that of Seiko Matsuda, and due to some reasons, she was even more exposed.

“Isn’t she going on a nationwide tour this month? She has concerts every day, so of course there won’t be much news.” Satoshi Shimoda has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and he still understands the situation of idols very well.

“When the tour is over, the exposure will come back!”

However, Matsuzawa Shinnosuke did not agree: "It's not her, it's something else."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　?)

“It’s the feeling that the existence that can always be felt in the entertainment industry has suddenly disappeared. It’s like there is an ordinary big stone on the road you walk every morning, and it suddenly disappears,” Matsuzawa Shinnosuke continued.

 “Hmm, you said someone in the entertainment industry has disappeared?”

"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't feel empty~" Matsuzawa Shinnosuke scratched his head and frowned, but it was like a leaf was blinding him, and he couldn't remember what it was.

Tomoya Shimoda kept the clippings of today’s headlines in his notebook, which were his sources of material. He accidentally opened the previous headlines and saw a photo of a yacht from last month.

“Matsuzawa, you want to say Naoki Nagayama!”

"Ah! That's right!" The leaves in front of him were pushed aside, and Matsuzawa Shinnosuke immediately remembered the guy he paid special attention to. "The entertainment industry always breaks out a headline or scandal related to this guy from time to time. It seems that there has never been any arrests. To his real strength!"

“So it seems that everyone knows that there is such a guy in the entertainment industry, but they always only see a partial impression of him!”

Shimoda Tomoya shook his head: "But didn't he personally admit the airship incident last time?"

"That's just our imagination. He has never said it himself: 'I planned the airship for Akina Nakamori's birthday!'" Matsuzawa Shinnosuke said a little angrily.

Shimoda Tomoya still didn’t believe it: “Isn’t there something happening in front of the TV Asahi building?”

"It was just an accident! There was no picture! It was just the doorman's narration." Matsuzawa Shinnosuke became even more irritated, "That guy also used drinking and creative inspiration as an excuse, and he actually composed a song on the spot Song dedicated to Akina Nakamori"

“There are also his previous scandals and so on, but there is no direct evidence at all!”

These days, if you want to substantiate a certain scandal, you have to take an intimate photo of two people kissing. Or you can take a photo of two people "getting up together" in a hotel or other place. Or someone in the industry will make it clear. He said the two were in love, or admitted it to himself.

 In short, none of these! ! The paparazzi in Tokyo are such a sucker for food!

“.” Shimoda Tomo also stopped talking.

“Speaking of which, Naoki Nagayama is currently filming a movie, right?!” Shinnosuke Matsuzawa asked.

 Shimoda Tomoya nodded: "Yes, didn't we hold a press conference at the end of July~"

"Then it's almost time for the on-site interview!" Matsuzawa Shinnosuke's eyes lit up, "I'm going to see what he's up to this time! Shimoda-san, can you, in the name of "Weekly Bunshun", Get me an interview invitation?"

"this"

 “If there is any material, I will definitely give it to you!”

"Oh well!"

According to Shuyou Pictures' latest film production announcement process, it is indeed the stage to conduct on-set interviews. Yoshimura Otomo has also begun to invite good media, so it is not difficult to get an invitation at this time.

At the same time, in Shuyu's studio, Takeharu Kawahara was giving a report with Otomo Yoshimura and Masami Inada in the conference room. The one next to him had changed his hair style and even his look. From a spirited girl to a Kudo Shizuka became a sunshine girl.

“Otomo-san, Masamin-san, during this period of time, Kudo Shizuka has completed the basic training of Shuyu idols, and it’s time to proceed to the next stage.” Kawahara Takeharu said very respectfully.

Yoshimura Otomo glanced at Shizuka Kudo and smiled: "Is it so fast?"

"Hi, because I have already gone through some training in the Kitten Club." Kudo Shizuka replied without fear at all, "So I spend less time on singing and dancing."

Kawahara Takeharu added next to him: "It's official. In addition, Shizuka-chan also had a certain reputation before. If there is no activity for a long time, these fans will dissipate, so I hope to speed up the process."

"Then let's get started. That debut song, no, it's the first official album. Isn't that song already given to you?" Masami Inada was specifically responsible for the work of his idols. He thought for a moment and said, "After practicing, let Tetsuya Komuro do the first recording and production."

“We will try to complete the album production by mid-August, as well as promotional materials and other related work. Wu Chunjun, do you know all about the next steps?”

“Hi! Underground concerts, road shows, TV announcements” Takeharu Kawahara is also very familiar with several channels for idols to debut.

 Then he asked with some anxiety: "So...is that it?"

 “What do you mean?” Masamin Inada asked doubtfully.

"Arnold Shizuka-chan is an idol that Naoki-san specially scouted. Is it the same as other idols?" Shizuka Kudo is the first idol that Kawahara Takeharu is solely responsible for, so she attaches great importance to her debut.

“Hahaha~” Yoshimura Otomo laughed, “Speaking of which, all our idols were discovered by Naoki-san!”

　　　　???”

Ineda Masamin also smiled: "Yes, all the idols, including Naoki-san, gave them a debut song and then left it alone~"

“!!” Kawahara Takeharu and Kudo Shizuka both looked at their two bosses in surprise.

“Yamin-san Junko-chan has many songs~”

“That was the first idol in the agency. At that time, Naoki-san didn’t know much about idol management, so he had so many songs.”

Yoshimura Otomo shook his head, and then said enthusiastically,

"At that time, we didn't originally plan to develop the idol business. But Naoki-san accidentally raised a sign in "A Star! Is Born!"! So we had to."

 “Ahem, Otomo-san!”

Ineda Masamin coughed twice and reminded Yoshimura Otomo to pay attention to his image. He is a founding employee and knows these things very clearly~

"ah"

Yoshimura Otomo stopped, with a bit of annoyance on his face. The feeling of being interrupted while sharing gossip was like being forced to stop in the middle of going to the toilet.

“Ahem. In short, Naoki-san will only give newcomers a debut song. This is the unspoken rule of Shuyou.”

Masamin Inada continued: "But don't underestimate this debut song! He usually lets new idols stay in the top ten of the Oricon charts for a month or two or even more!"

“At that time, "TheBestten", "Yehit" and even the currently popular "Musicstation" will invite new people to the show, which will bring huge exposure! Not to mention there will be many other variety shows."

“After that, it all depends on the new idol’s own strength~”

Yoshimura Otomo nodded: "Of course, we will also invite big-name producers and creators to plan the subsequent records!"

“So Takeharu-kun, Shizuka-chan, don’t worry! We are not Naoki-san who just let things go!”

 “Hi!” Takeharu Kawahara and Shizuka Kudo finally felt a little calmer.

After leaving the studio, Takeharu Kawahara said to Shizuka Kudo in the car:

"Shizuka-chan, we're going to get busy next! After the record is recorded, we may not have any rest for a long time! I heard that when Junko-chan first debuted, Otomo-san was also with her. There are road shows going on everywhere!”

"Silly tape!" Kudo Shizuka's delicate face was full of determination, "As long as others can do it, I, Kudo Shizuka, will not be an exception!"

“Well, let’s work hard together!” Kawahara Takeharu smiled and started the car, “By the way, what’s the name of that song? “Sunshine Girl”, Shizuka-chan, we also want sunshine!”

 “Hahaha~ I just got daddy!”
