Tokyo bubble life

Time flies, and the maple leaves in Tokyo are getting redder and redder~

At the shooting base in Ota Ward, Kyon Kimura stared at the camera screen intently and carefully controlled the lens.

This is a film set on a rooftop. The scene is at night, but the lighting comes from nowhere, which always allows people to see everything on the rooftop clearly.

And here, the hero and heroine of "Ghost" will say their final farewell.

"His obsession has been eliminated, and he will become a Buddha!" ​​said the witch played by Nana Okada, pointing to the sacred beam of light descending from the sky, "Look, that's the light that will welcome him!"

"Where is Liwen going?" Fujiwara Aori, played by Akina, is very reluctant to leave.

"Qingli."

"Leven."

Naoki Nagayama gently kissed the heroine, then looked at the psychic witch next to him:

"Thank you~"

"Nothing." Okada Nana shook her head and looked at the vague figure at the source of the light and said, "They are already waiting for you!"

Naoki Nagayama also knew that it was time for the final separation, and he looked at the heroine played by Akina Nakamori reluctantly:

"Bye now"

“.”

As the figure slowly disappeared into the light, Akina Nakamori shed the last tear from her eyes.

“Cut!!!”

Kyon Kimura, who was behind the camera, shouted out, and then Naoki Nagayama came out from behind the bright light next to him, rubbing his eyes with his hands, as if the bright light was too bright.

"Kijima-kun, how are you?" Naoki Nagayama tried hard to open his eyes and looked at the director's monitor.

"I think it's perfect!" Kyon Kimura looked at the heroine Akina in the field, and then looked at Nagayama Naoki here, "This farewell is very touching!"

After carefully watching the director's monitor, Naoki Nagayama also nodded:

"Indeed, this performance is very good! It's good enough!"

Then he stood up straight and clapped his hands to attract the crew's attention:

"Mina-san!"

"Our crew of Ghost has finished filming!!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire crew burst into joy. Everyone clapped, hugged, jumped and cheered, and shouted slogans such as "It's wrapped!" and "It's wrapped!"

The logistics team was very considerate and took out the prepared beer so that everyone in the crew could drink together~

Director Naoki Nagayama, along with many actors and staff, expressed his gratitude for their hard work during this period.

"Arigato." "Thank you for your hard work!" "Take a good rest after the wrap party!" "."

Everyone was very happy to interact with the director

In the end, Naoki Nagayama found assistant director Yusei Shimizu:

"Youcheng-san, has the venue for the wrap-up party been booked?"

"Hey, this is a new izakaya that just opened near the filming base. We've booked the entire place!"

Around the filming base in Ota Ward, a subsidiary business circle has been formed around the filming.

Countless restaurants, hotels, shopping malls and convenience stores of all sizes have opened up. And as the filming base becomes more and more famous, the surrounding consumer brands are becoming more and more high-end, and even famous clothing brands have opened branches here.

People who don't know come here and think it's some core business circle~

It’s similar to Hollywood in New York. Maybe we can build a Walk of Fame nearby in the future!

"Well, the whole package is almost complete."

Although it's a small crew, there are more than 50 people~

After leaving the task of leading everyone to the izakaya to Yushinari Shimizu, Naoki Nagayama came to Akina who had returned to the RV, only to find that Tsuruko was also there, teasing Natsuka.

"Akina, if we're going to the wrap-up party later, Natsuka won't have to go," Naoki Nagayama said, "There's definitely a lot of cigarettes and alcohol in the pub."

"Hey, I'm talking to Marisan, asking her to take the baby back to Yamazakurain first."

Akina nodded. Nonaka Mari was not considered a member of the crew, but was her personal nanny, so it was okay for her to go back early.

But at this time, Hezi said:

"Hey~~~ Is Xia Hua going back? I want to hold her for a while longer!"

“.”

Naoki Nagayama rolled his eyes and said, "If your family is poor, you will be Dehua and take care of the baby every day!"

"How about you just take him back to Yamazakurain?"

"That won't work!" Hezi immediately put Xiao Xiahua back on the bed, "I still have to say goodbye to my senior!"

Tsuruko did receive help from many people in the crew, especially her predecessors, who taught her a lot of knowledge and skills.

"The seniors in the crew are all talented and speak well. I must thank them very much!"

Although Hezi was a little tired during this period, she could see friendly faces everywhere on the crew. Everyone took good care of her and she was filled with gratitude!

“.”

The boss's sister is here to experience life, who dares to say anything harsh? !

You have to know that in this era, ordinary interns who come to a fixed crew have to do miscellaneous work for a year before they can learn some skills as appropriate.

To be a script supervisor like Hezi, it takes at least three years of training. And to be able to report on the clapperboard in front of the camera requires more than five years of experience, and you also need to be able to substitute when the previous script supervisor has problems!

In this small crew, every position is unique!

Seeing his noisy sister walk out of the RV, Naoki Nagayama sighed and decided to let his sister indulge in the illusion.

Mingcai next to him laughed:

"Naoki-san is so kind to Tsuruko"

"I can't take care of her for a few more years anyway. She's grown up."

"By the way," Naoki Nagayama sat down next to Akina and said with a smile, "We'll go on vacation after the filming is finished. Have you packed your things?"

"Yes, it's already packed!" Akina nodded, "Are we going there in the RV?"

"Of course not, we're going by Shinkansen, and I've booked a carriage!"

It's just a car. Japan is a capitalist society. As long as you have money, anything can be done for you.

"That thing"

"Toda-san will deliver it in advance."

"Hi~"

In the cleanly decorated izakaya, the crew members of "Ghost" filled all the tables.

At the kitchen counter, three chefs were busy preparing all the ingredients available in the store, including grilled bird, chicken fat, shiitake mushrooms, thick omelette, and oden.

Today, the izakaya can be said to be self-service, and everyone can get ready-made side dishes at the table. Of course, sake and beer are available in unlimited quantities.

"Mina-san," Kyon Kijima said, having already drunk two cups, his face flushed. He stood up with the cup in his hand, "Let's toast to Naoki-san!"

"Os!" "Hi!" "Okay!"

Everyone raised their glasses and looked at Kimura Kyon. He was no longer shy and embarrassed as before, and said openly:

"Thank you for the treat, Naoki-san!"

“Hahaha, no no no~” Nagayama Naoki also raised his glass and said to everyone, “Cheers!”

After this round of drinking, the atmosphere in the izakaya became even more lively.

Naoki Nagayama was drinking and chatting with the people around him.

"When will the editing start? I think it will start in the middle of the month. We need to rest well these few days, and the other people in the crew should also rest."

Tanaka Toshihiko was a little surprised.

“Will it be released in time for Christmas?”

"Of course!"

Naoki Nagayama is not at all nervous. Unlike other directors, he has the original film as a reference in his head. As long as the editing speed can keep up, he can even finish it within a week!

Kyon Kijima also said:

"Naoki-san's editing speed is extraordinary! It's as if the movie has already taken shape in his mind!"

"Haha, come and have a drink!"

"Mr. Toshihiko, are you going to prepare to participate in the rehearsal for the Red and White Song Festival next?" Naoki Nagayama looked at this former ceiling among male idols with some curiosity.

When talking about this, Tanaka Toshihiko sighed:

“I probably won’t be participating in the Red and White Song Festival this year.”

"Eh? Why?" Akina, who was sitting opposite, was very surprised when she heard it. "Didn't Junjun always participate in it in the past?"

"This time it's the Shonentai team, and Johnny's is promoting a new idol group." When saying this, Toshihiko Tahara seemed a little helpless.

Unlike female idols, male idols usually debut as a group, and several of them can be promoted at a time.

With Johnny's rate of adding a new group per year, he is already a senior among seniors. The male idols of his generation have either transformed or retired, and their popularity is not as high as before.

Even the other two people who formed the Tahara Trio with him, one had failed in his transformation and was silent, and the other one, Tahara Toshihiko, looked up at Naoki Nagayama.

It seems that after offending Naoki Nagayama, Kondo Masahiko has gradually lost his popularity and has become a variety show star. It is very miserable for a former first-line idol to be stuck in various variety shows.

"Is this the men's fighting group?" asked Akina Nakamori next to her.

"Huh?" Tahara Toshihiko was startled. He was distracted by thinking about his old friend.

"I mean, is Johnny's promoting the male Douhu group now?"

"Ah, Nan Douhugumi and Shonen Ninja were launched last year." Tahara Toshihiko said, "The agency wants to launch a new group next year, called GENJI! The members have almost been decided."

"GENJI?"

Naoki Nagayama recalled this very famous male idol group, which will be renamed "光GENJI" in the future. It was a popular idol group in Japan and even in Asia in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Besides, GENJI is out, and SMAP isn’t far away!

The guy who is known as the most handsome man in Japan should show up now, right?

While still a little tipsy, Naoki Nagayama asked:

"Does Johnny's have a member named Kimura Takuzai now?"

"Eh?" Tahara Toshihiko was stunned for a moment, "I haven't heard of it."

“Oh, I see.”

"Naoki-san, do you know this Kimura Takuya?"

"I don't know him yet. Haha, I seem to have heard of this name somewhere." Naoki Nagayama laughed it off, "Forget it, it's not important. Come on, Junyan-san, let's have another drink!"

"Cheers then!"

After finishing a glass of wine, Toshihiko Tahara secretly wrote down the name.

In any case, the person whose name reached the ears of Naoki Nagayama must be an extraordinary person!

Naoki Nagayama had already gone to find others to drink, and although Akina Nakamori couldn't drink, she also clinked glasses with others with her drinks.

The atmosphere in the entire izakaya was lively and warm, and in the end, everyone actually started singing. Akina also sang a few songs. But she was caught by reporters, which must have been very eye-catching news!

“The filming of Ghost has been completed!”

This news was spread among the media without any concealment. After hearing the news, the reporters took up their cameras and microphones, looking forward to the completion of the disclosure meeting.

However, after waiting and waiting, even after drafting the press release, there was still no notice for the press conference.

This made the reporters feel a little unconfident. Didn't the tree friends invite us media to the press conference? It seems that we have not offended the tree friends in any way?

When the firm is weak, it has to depend on the media because it needs the media to help promote its business. But when the firm becomes strong, it is easy to control the media. All it needs to do is not notify them when there is big news.

The media itself also needs explosive news to attract attention. Once is fine, but if it fails to keep up with the hot topics of the same-level media twice, people who read the newspaper will go buy other newspapers!

So the reporter decided to contact his acquaintances in Shuyou.

At the same time, the receptionist at Shuyou was very busy:

"Private Marseille, we have no plans to hold a completion disclosure meeting for the time being."

"If there is any, I will definitely inform the Yomiuri Shimbun."

I just hung up a call and the front desk phone rang again.

"Tokyo tabloid? What kind of media is this? I've never heard of it!!!"

“.”

After hanging up the strange phone call, Suzuki Yukika sighed:

"Why did everyone call the front desk? Why didn't the publicity department notify everyone?"

At this time, the newcomer Ishikawa Susumu in the Publicity Department was also full of worries. He had just been in charge of connecting with the media personnel and had only been in contact with the media colleagues for a short time. Now, one by one, they were calling him to ask questions, but how could he, a newcomer, know? !

At this time, Watanabe Eiichiro walked in from outside. Ishikawa Jin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked:

"Vice Minister Watanabe, will the finale announcement conference for Ghost be held?!"

"." Watanabe Eiichiro was also a little worried. "It's in the publicity plan to hold a press conference. But now I can't find Naoki-san! How can I hold a press conference if I can't find him?"

"ah?"

"Naoki-san said he was going on vacation, and then he left. When Yama Sakurain called, only the housekeeper answered and said he had already left Tokyo!"

".What should I do then?"

"Wait a moment." Watanabe Eiichiro said, "When Shuichi or Otomo-san arrives at the company, ask them to help contact Naoki-san. Naoki-san has a mobile phone!"

The mobile phone of Naoki Nagayama is naturally an extremely private phone. Except for his relatives and people in his core circle, no one else knows the number!

After all, he doesn't want someone to call and harass him when he's on vacation. No phone calls when he's on vacation! Not even work calls!

As long as it’s not at the level of official business like Shuichi Idou and Otomo Yoshimura, then it’s not important!

"Then when will Xiu Yi-san and the others be able to come back?"

"It seems that Shuichi-san has been talking to people about establishing the Tokyo Film Association recently, in addition to the animation department. There are drinking parties everywhere. I wonder if he will return to the company."

Watanabe Eiichiro scratched his head.

"Otomo-san, he's out on business, he should be back soon."

"So how should I respond to my colleagues in the media now?"

"Don't you know how to procrastinate?!" Watanabe Eiichiro hit Ishikawa Susumu on the head with a knife-like hand, "If you don't know something, just say you'll go find out first. I'll let you know when I get accurate information."

"Oh, okay!" Ishikawa Susumu immediately started to respond.

Although there has been no press conference yet, various media have already started to spread the word that Naoki Nagayama's masterpiece "Ghost" has been completed.

Movie fans are beginning to get excited~
