Tokyo Bubble Life

  Chapter 446 Chapter 445, alumni gathering, isn't it just for people who are well mixed to brag?

  The August sun hovers in the sky like a ball of fire, without rest from morning to night.

  The scorching light scorched the ground so hot that the air close to the ground was slightly distorted, and it seemed that white smoke would come out when one stepped on it.

  People who go out during this season are either forced by work and life, or go out to suffer by themselves. And Naoki Yongshan actually went out in this weather.

   "It's really difficult. I hope the 'bodyguard' this time can protect me from Xiuichi-san's evil hands in the studio," Naoki Naoyama complained.

   Unexpectedly, Yitang Xiuyi actually asked his wife to take Jiayi sauce out to escape the summer heat. The weakness he wanted to find was gone, so he could only temporarily find a bodyguard from another place!

  On the co-pilot of Toyota World, a burly figure was adjusting the air-conditioning outlet, and he sighed comfortably after the cool wind could finally blow to his cheeks.

   "Naoki, the summer in Tokyo is much hotter than in Shizuoka." Cousin Nagayama Kaede complained about the climate in Tokyo, "When in Shizuoka, no matter what, there is always a sea breeze."

   "Brother Feng, in fact, Tokyo is also located by the sea!"

   Naoki Naoyama went to the sumo hall early in the morning, and then took him to watch the behind-the-scenes editing of the movie in the name of knowing the behind-the-scenes operation if he wants to go deep into the entertainment world.

   "It's just that Tokyo is so big that the sea breeze is blocked by buildings~"

  Yong Shanfeng tugged at the collar: "Yes, it's all reinforced concrete, and even the human touch is much less."

   "Ha, it will be much better when you make real friends." Naoki Yongshan laughed and drove towards the studio.

  On the ground where the car passed, a puff of dust and smoke was raised, slowly landed, and then stirred by the next car, it rose again, as if they couldn't stand the scorching heat of the ground and kept beating.

  When Naoki Naoyama arrived at the studio, it was the busiest time in the morning. There was a central air conditioner in the hall, and the staff of Shuyou Yinghua were all performing their duties, looking orderly.

However, after Naoki Yongshan stepped into the lobby, many employees looked at him. As a professional person who knows how to read the air, he has more or less heard the interaction between Shuichi Itou and Otomo Yoshimura yesterday. For the arrival of Naoki Yongshan today, everyone has some meaning of eating melons.

   "Haha, good morning everyone~" Naoki Yongshan greeted the employees with a smile, and in exchange for meaningful replies from everyone.

   "Naoki-san, you are here today~" "Naoki-san, is it so early?" "Naoki-san is back~"

   "Naoki-san, Shuichi-san is already in the editing room!"

Eh? This guy is very smart! Naoki Yongshan looked at an employee, but he didn't expect the young man to be very troublesome~

  In front of everyone, Naoki Yongshan introduced the strong figure behind him to the employees: "Haha, some people already know each other. This is Kaede Yongshan, one of the leading actors of our movie this time. Come and visit us today~"

   "Everyone ~ good morning ~"

  Yong Shanfeng greeted the staff very kindly, some of whom were already familiar with the crew.

   When the greetings were almost over, Naoki Yongshan walked into the office with Feng Yongshan. At this time, the employees who stayed outside began to whisper.

   "Sure enough, such a bodyguard is hired!" "Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?" "If you want me to say, Naoki-san is smart!"

   Naoki Naoyama naturally didn't hear the conversation outside. After entering the office, he saw Otomo Fangcun busy.

   "Otomo-san, good morning~"

   "Ah, Naoki-san, you're here." Yoshimura Otomo raised his head, only to find that there was a burly figure walking in, "This one, Serizawa-san?"

   "Haha, Otomo-san, the filming is over, we can't use the title of the show!" Naoki Naoyama said haha.

   "It's okay, as long as you know it's me." Yong Shanfeng said indifferently, "Otomo-san, we meet again."

  Otomo Fangcun also showed a smile: "After the movie is released, Fengsang will be called by many people by this name. Many movie stars are like this. It is actually an achievement for the audience to remember the name of the character!"

   "Haha, Otomo-san is overrated."

  The two chatted a few words in a friendly manner, and Fangcun Otomo turned to Yongshan Naoki: "Naoki-san, did you receive the call I made to you?"

   "Ah, got it."

"That?"

   "That's why I brought Big Brother Feng here!" Naoki Naoyama smiled, "Xiuichi-san should be very surprised to see Big Brother Feng."

   ".You." Fangcun Dayu was a little speechless, but with such a presence, it seemed that Shuichi Yitang really couldn't make waves, "However, where did you go before?"

   "Haha, because I was more impulsive after drinking, I went to Fukushima to attend a good friend's concert." Naoki Naoyama pushed everything to the impulsiveness of older people, "Then came back all day."

  Fangcun Otomo had no choice but to take this guy in front of him: "Ah, the vitality of young people is sure enough. But you have to explain it to Xiu Yisang."

Before Otomo Fangcun could finish his words, Xiuyi Yitang's slightly excited voice suddenly came from outside the office: "I think I heard Naoki-san coming? Hahaha, where is it? I want to have a good chat with him! "

  As the footsteps approached, the door of the small office opened suddenly: "Naoki-san? Brother Feng?"

  When Yi Tangxiu, who was standing at the door, opened the door, the first thing he saw was not Naoki Naoyama, but the figure of Kaede Yongshan, who stood in front of Naoki Naoyama like a wall.

   "Ah, Xiu Yisang!" Yong Shanfeng greeted happily.

   "Brother Feng, why are you here?"

  Ever since he went to experience the extreme life, Ido Shuichi has a special respect for Yong Shanfeng, because he was his boss at that time.

   After filming "Hot-Blooded High School", this respect is even more important. It is definitely not because Yong Shanfeng really staged in front of him what is called one hit ten!

   "Ah, Naoki said to take me to watch the editing process of the film. After all, I will be in this industry in the future, so I need to understand more or less." Yong Shanfeng said frankly.

   "So it was Naoki-san who brought you here!" Ido gritted his teeth, and looked at Naoki Yongshan inside, "Naoki-san is really a person who is individual, considerate, and subtle!"

"Haha, Xiu Yisang is too flattering." Naoki Yongshan huddled behind Yongshan Feng and showed a smile, "Brother Feng, Xiu Yisang really knows everything about editing and has a lot of experience. Let Xiu Yisang take you there Take a tour of the editing room!"

   "Really?" Yong Shanfeng couldn't understand this subtle atmosphere, but since Naoki said it, there was nothing wrong, so he patted Shuichi Ido on the shoulder: "Then trouble Xiuichi-san!"

  Feeling a strong force on his shoulder, Yi Tangxiu looked at Yong Shanfeng in front of him and couldn't think of a word to refuse for a moment: "No trouble, no trouble."

   He took a bitter look at Naoki Yongshan inside, but he couldn't get angry, so he could only lead him to the editing room.

  Otomo Fangcun watched this scene with cold eyes, and waited until the person walked out before saying: "Naoki-san, you are treating the symptoms but not the root cause!"

   "Haha, this guy Xiu Yisang was actually a bit troublesome when we first met, but it was easy to deal with afterward."

  Naoki Yongshan smiled at Otomo Fangcun, and he already knew the temper of his two friends clearly.

   "Otomo-san, I'm following up now. I want to calm Xiu Yi-san's anger, but I really need to direct his mind to work."

   Speaking of which, Naoki Naoyama also ran out of the office and walked towards the editing room, leaving only Yoshimura Otomo shaking his head:

   "I really pinched Xiu Yisang clearly."

   After finishing speaking, I thought about it: "No, Naoki-san can also grasp my character, right?"

  In the small editing room, Masataka Komori is diligently putting together the material, while Shuichi Ido next to him is introducing the functions of various equipment and the previously edited videos to Kaede Yongshan.

  Seeing Naoki Nagayama walking in, Osamu Yitang took a look, wanted to say something but forcibly held back.

   "Brother Feng, on this AcmadePicSynch, which is a synchronous editing of film sound and picture, we can see the effect of sound and picture presentation. If we think it is not good, we can directly replace or re-edit."

  Xiuichi Yitang pointed to a long machine and introduced, "In the past, we had to cut them separately, but this latest machine has saved a lot of effort."

After Naoki Yongshan saw it, he immediately answered: "This is not the latest editor. I have seen a more advanced dual-monitor screen editing platform in Europe before. It is larger than this machine, but it can support two materials. clip."

  Itang Xiuyi snorted coldly: "Naoki-san is really well-informed!"

   "Haha, it's all accumulation~" Naoki Naoyama accepted the irony without blushing, and took it as a compliment, "When the movie is over, we will also update the machine."

  Then directly asked Masataka Komori, "Ms. Masataka, how far have you cut it?"

   Masataka Komori was still secretly watching the faces of the two bosses, but when asked about something serious, he immediately spoke up.

   "I have arranged all the material according to the storyline, and I just finished cutting the process of the protagonist's admission yesterday."

   Naoki Naoyama sat unceremoniously by the editing table, and began to operate:

   "Time is tight, so let's continue!"

   After finishing speaking, he and Komori Masataka devoted themselves to work, which made Shuichi Ido and Kaede Nagayama who were standing and watching at the side a little bit at a loss.

   After hesitating for a while, Ido Shuichi decided to continue introducing Yongshan Feng for a while, but when he was introducing, Yongshan Naoki was already explaining to Komori Masataka:

   "Masataka-san, give me the shot of Tamao Serizawa leaving the hospital first, and find out the profile shot and close-up shot of the crash."

   After a while:

   "Jung Hyo-jun, the front shot of the drag racing scene, and the side shot of the police chasing afterward."

  "Politics and filial piety"

  Different from the editing by Shuichi Ido and Masataka Komori, when Naoki Nagayama edited, he already had the picture of the future film in his mind, and he knew every shot in his mind, so the editing was very smooth.

Yi Tangxiu saw that the editing speed was so fast. Originally, for a chase scene, he and Masataka Komori would have spent at least an hour, but Naoki Nagayama would finish it in ten minutes. He was very anxious. I also glance at the editing table from time to time.

   "Mr. Zheng Xiao, where is the close-up shot of the police?" Naoki Yongshan found that there was a shot that couldn't be found, "The close-up shot of the confrontation in the alley."

   "Wait a moment. I remember it is here." Masataka Komori searched in the material, but he still couldn't find it for a long time. He couldn't help looking at Shuichi Itou, "Shuichi-san, do you remember where it is?"

   After finally waiting for the opportunity, Shuichi Ido immediately sat next to the editing table, and said arrogantly: "Why are you so careless, didn't you use this when editing the trailer? It's in the rest of the film!"

   As he spoke, he searched through the remaining films on the other side and found the material: "It's here!"

  After Naoki Naoyama took over, he immediately continued to cut, and Shuichi Ido sat beside him and did not continue to stand up.

   "Next is the shot of Serizawa hitting the school barbed wire."

   "The scene of the first meeting with the gangster Takizawa Genji."

   "Police capture long-shot and close-up preparation."

A series of instructions came out of Naoki Naoyama’s mouth. Sometimes I watched the screen and discussed with the two of them whether such a shot was suitable or needed to be adjusted. After all, a little modification was made in the script, and the screen of the movie should also be appropriate. Amendment is.

  The three of them started working in full swing, and Shuichi Ido seemed to have forgotten that he had to teach Naoki Nagayama a lesson before, and he was very devoted.

  At this time, Yong Shanfeng beside him was speechless, who am I? where am I? What am I doing here? Should I go?

  Yongshan Naoki saw the idle Yongshan Feng when he turned his head, so he smiled and said:

   "Brother Feng, editing is very boring, you can go chat with the crew and see what they usually do."

   "Ah, is that so? Okay~"

  Looking at the cousin who was immersed in the editing again, Yong Shanfeng always felt that he didn't do anything this time, but he seemed to have played some role.

  If you have to put your heart and soul into it, the editing never remembers the year.

   Sometimes the sun rises and the sunset is just the difference between opening and closing your eyes. When you are trying to devote yourself to something, day and night are never the standard for measuring time, but the progress of editing.

  This time, in order to express his apology for releasing the pigeons before, Naoki Naoyama also became ruthless. For a week in a row, he was like an office worker, spending two points and one line between the studio and Yamazakin every day.

  Grandpa Mingcai’s funeral was held in a concise and solemn manner. After all, he had been hospitalized many times. Whether psychological or otherwise, the family was already prepared for his death.

And after the funeral, Akina quickly went on the next national tour, to make up for all the work that was delayed by asking for leave before, so she only made a phone call when she returned to Tokyo, and then started traveling across the country .

   And here, Naoki Naoyama pushed the editing process of "Hot-Blooded High School" to half with extremely high efficiency.

   This day, I came to the studio early again. After greeting everyone, I wanted to enter the editing room, but was stopped by Otomo Fangcun:

   "Naoki-san, wait a minute."

   "Nani?"

   "Naoki-san come to the office first."

   "Oh~"

  Like an honest boy, Naoki Naoyama's mind has been almost filled with rolls of film and tape recently.

  Otomo Fangcun held a newspaper and asked Naoki Yongshan: "Does Naoki-san know what day it is?"

   "Eh Wednesday?" It took me a while to remember.

   "Today is the release date of the Oricon Music Chart!" Otomo Fangcun scratched his head, "You didn't completely forget it, did you?"

   "Ah, the day when the rankings are released!" Naoki Yongshan clenched his right fist and hit the open palm of his left hand at once, as if suddenly remembering, "I remember!"

   Fangcun Otomo's eyes seemed to be looking at the silly son of the landlord's family: "Naoki-san, are you still a child? Don't learn the movements in the animation!"

   "Today is the day when Ozaki-san's results are announced!"

  It has been two weeks since Toyo Ozaki’s concert, and now it’s time to count the sales of his records. Naoki Naoyama also reacted:

   "Oh? How about it, is Yutaka Ozaki on the list?"

  Yoshimura Otomo had a smile on his face: "Of course! The weekly sales volume of Yutaka Ozaki's second album has reached 200,000 copies, and it has already entered the top ten! Ranked eighth!"

   "Hahaha, that would be great!"

  Otomo Yoshimura handed over the newspaper: "Don't worry, there's even better news. Yutaka Ozaki's single "Song of the Sunset" actually topped the chart with sales of 280,000 copies!"

   Naoki Naoyama was surprised: "Can a record with only one single surpass the album?"

   "Maybe it's because it's cheap." Fangcun Otomo said a sneer, "But the album has the potential to sell for a long time! Both Sony and Being Records are convinced of this."

   "However, in the top ten of this ranking, Yutaka Ozaki actually occupies two positions!"

  Fangcun Otomo smiled: "Yes, such a result will make other singers in the same period **** off! Hahaha~"

  In any case, releasing two albums at the same time is too outrageous. Generally speaking, it will definitely rob the same fans of buying desire. If the record company does this, it will lose money!

   "Then how is the itinerary arranged for Satozaki-san?" Naoki Nagayama didn't pay much attention to that, so he could only ask the chief manager Yoshimura Otomo.

"During this time, there should be two programs of THEBESTTEN and Golden Melody of the Night, and then various other music programs. In short, all kinds of music programs have sent out invitations. Sudou-san said that he is already too busy." Fangcun Otomo kept smiling and continued talking,

   "Next, it is natural to compete for various awards. In this regard, Sony and Being Records have all started."

   Naoki Naoyama felt that something was missing: "Huh? What about us?"

   Fangcun Otomo felt a little ashamed: "Although I am a little embarrassed, our firm is not as powerful as them in terms of the influence of these judges."

   "Is that so?" After all, it is an agency that has only been established for more than two years. Even with two idol singers, there is still a gap in this respect. "In this case, Otomo-san, let's double the PR fee!"

   Naoki Naoyama thought of what he had said before, if Akina was really signed, the power of his own office would still be a little weaker.

   "Double up?"

  Otomo Fangcun was surprised. Although there are not many artists under his banner, but because of the excellent sales of records, the public relations expenses of the GG office have always been very generous.

"Hey, Otomo-san, go boldly and engage in relationships with people in the entertainment industry!" Naoki Naoyama handed over all the external public relations to Otomo Yoshimura, "Train up Masami Inada and the newcomer Takeharu Kawahara. Anyway , Let our personal connections develop rapidly."

   ". Naoki-san, why don't you expand your network!" Fangcun Otomo looked at Yongshan Naoki, obviously as a famous musician, songwriter and composer, it is the most convenient in the music industry.

   "I'm too young and inexperienced!"

  Only in his 20s, want him to play the role of a good boy to win the favor of the big names in the music industry? This is what Masahiko Kondo did!

   "In short, I leave it to you!"

   Naoki Naoyama reassuredly handed over everything to Otomo Fangcun, not worried about him going out independently in the future.

  Which big company can give him nearly 10% of the shares? If you work alone, where can you find a creative genius like Naoki Nagayama? Where can I find a technical master like Shuichi Itou? And both of them don't care.

  He walked into the editing room with a good mood. At this time, Shuichi Ido had completely let go of his previous resentment. After seeing Naoki Nagayama, he greeted him happily:

   "Naoki-san, here you come~ Why do you look so happy?"

   "Ah, Yutaka Ozaki's second album has entered the top ten of the Oricon chart, and a single has reached the top of the chart." Naoki Naoyama happily announced, "This album is a big success!"

   "Haha, it's amazing!" Yi Tangxiu praised unsparingly, "Then is it time to start preparing for the major song awards and record awards?"

   "Xiuichi-san also understands these?"

  Xiu Yitang's face was calm: "Because the release of the movie is the same. After the first week's box office comes out, you can start the next steps, the major awards."

   Naoki Naoyama nodded, it seems that in the entertainment industry, they are all very similar!

   "By the way, Naoki-san, let's talk about this." Osamu Yitang thought of something, "Our campaign has already started, do you want to meet my teacher later?"

   "Mr. Machida Yasuchi?" Naoki Naoyama recalled the old man who had met once, "What's wrong?"

   "The annual graduate exchange in the college is about to begin, and many students will use this as an opportunity to promote."

  Alumni Association! Isn't this kind of gathering just for students who are well behaved to show their faces and brag in front of everyone? But sometimes you can exchange resources, help each other and things like that, especially in the film industry.

  You lead me and I lead you, such a circle within the film industry is formed!

   "But I'm not a student of your academy." Yongshan Naoki asked, "Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I went?"

   "Haha, it's okay!" Yi Tangxiu didn't care at all, "If those students know that the best director of the blue ribbon and the winner of the Film Academy Award have gone, they will definitely be more excited!"

  Yeah, at this kind of gathering, I seem to have a little bit of status, as a guest or a celebrity, maybe I can give a sharing lecture!

   I’ve been tired of cutting movies recently, so it seems like a good idea to go out and get some fresh air!

   "Tokyo University of the Arts, in Ueno, right?" Naoki Naoyama asked.

   "Hi, it's right next to the Tokyo Museum." Knowing Naoki Nagayama, Shuichi Ido agreed, "The time is the day after tomorrow, Friday afternoon, Naoki-san and I will go together!"

   "That's good~ Let's go to Tokyo University of the Arts when the time comes, I haven't been there yet!"

   "Hahaha, let me show you around my alma mater!" After speaking, he looked at Masataka Komori, who had been listening, "Masataka-san, please join me!"

"Hi!"

   This is to introduce contacts to my apprentice!

  After happily setting the time, Naoki Nagayama, Shuichi Ido and Masataka Komori once again put themselves into the intense editing work.

  The material on the editing table has been reduced by more than half. The duel at the end is the most important part, but it should be more convenient to edit. Looking at it overall, it will take another five days or so to start the trial screening!

  Hmm. A week later, around August 24th, it looks like the movie will be released in early September!

  (end of this chapter)
