.......

Speaking of which, the rehearsal for the Japan Film Academy Awards ceremony was actually quite boring.

The early promotional VCRs and various behind-the-scenes short films were naturally produced long ago, and the on-site rehearsals were mainly interviews.

The shortlisted guests came in batches in advance to get used to the interview process. They knew the general questions and that was it. Everyone was in the art world, so it was natural for them to say a few words on the spot.

Tanaka Yuko and the other three beauties who came today are naturally the finalists for the award, and they are all the best actress~

After the shortlist was played on the big screen, several people sat on the stage to be interviewed, and then the host asked some questions according to the interview outline. It was not necessarily the same as the final award ceremony, but it was pretty similar.

However, for presenters like Nagayama Naoki, it is not so troublesome. They only need to know where to appear at the appropriate link, and then watch the teleprompter announce the winners.

In fact, the award ceremony of the Music Awards is more interesting. After all, the winners need to show off their talents on stage and sing a song, so the award ceremony is just like a gala, which is more interesting to watch.

Nagayama Naoki sat at the round table in the front row, watching the host and Tanaka Yuko interact with each other. After the chat, the few people returned to the round table under the stage... and watched another segment captured on the big screen.

Short film.....

Do you think it's annoying? It goes back and forth~

The rehearsal was naturally not that serious. Yuko Tanaka sat next to Naoki Nagayama and joked: "What's wrong with Naoki-san? It feels like she wants to sleep."

"Because it's too boring. I was obviously very curious before..."

"Haha, this is what an award ceremony is like~" Yuko Tanaka said with a smile, "By the way, you probably haven't met Naoki-san, the beauties here, right?"

Then he introduced the people next to him one by one, "These are Keiko Matsuzaka, Ryoko Ishida and Masako Natsume, and this is Naoki Nagayama~"

It felt like I was at a networking event rather than an award ceremony.

"First meeting! Please..." x4, it's a huge embarrassing scene~

"Hahaha, it feels like you guys are on a blind date..." I have never noticed that Yuko Tanaka is actually a social gangster, or does it just happen between acquaintances?

However, this kind of joke immediately dispelled the somewhat embarrassing atmosphere. As everyone knows, a girl's degree of reserve is inversely proportional to the number of people. Now there is an absolute advantage of four to one. Opposite is still a Nianxiajun, and the three eldest sisters verbally

Naturally, I will not admit defeat,

The oldest, Ryoko Ishida, has a thin face but a bold personality. She directly took over the conversation: "It wouldn't be bad if I could go on a blind date with a handsome guy like Naoki-san~ hahaha~"

The bright and elegant Matsuzaka Keiko also nodded in agreement: "Especially since Naoki is so talented... I think I'm making money!"

The slightly younger Natsume Masako covered her mouth and snickered beside her: "Yes, yes, Naoki-san, is she single? Hurry up and report your height, weight, and family status! My sisters are attracted to you!"

"You guys, please calm down! Naoki-san is only in his early twenties~ Don't scare people!" Yuko Tanaka pretended to be angry and lightly patted the person next to her on the arm, but she couldn't help laughing immediately...

Fortunately, Matsuzaka Keiko straightened the topic: "Naoki-san, you are also the presenter, right? What award are you going to present?"

Nagayama Naoki had just been suppressed and couldn't speak. Now he could finally speak: "I am the Best Director Award winner. Is Keiko-san also a guest of honor?"

"Yes, the award I want to present happens to be Best Actress~"

This is a coincidence, because Naoki Nagayama and Keiko Matsuzaka happened to be shortlisted for the award they want to award, so it is likely to create a situation where both of them award themselves the award.

"Haha, this award ceremony might be interesting."

Just when Keiko Matsusaka was about to speak, the host on the stage suddenly shouted, "The award-winning guest is Keiko Matsusaka!"

"Teeth!" The eldest sister immediately stood up, then subconsciously arranged her clothes and hurriedly walked onto the stage.

Seeing Keiko Matsusaka on the stage change into a standard artist's face, Naoki Nagayama really admires these actors' ability to control their expressions!

"Why are the other nominees for the Best Director Award not here? Isn't the Best Actress Award next in line for Best Director?" Naoki Nagayama asked Yuko Tanaka next to him.

"Because the best director doesn't need to be interviewed on stage!"

"?"

Natsume Masako said: "Isn't it industry practice that directors don't participate in interviews?"

"Huh? Is there still such a convention?" Nagayama Naoki was surprised.

"Because directors are people behind the scenes~ so the performance part is usually left to the actors~" said the experienced Ryoko Ishida, "After that, best photography, best music, best screenplay...etc.

There will be no interview sessions. Only actor awards such as Best Actor, Supporting Actor and Actor, Newcomer Award, etc. will have interviews."

"Sure enough, it's only the stars in front of the stage who can bear it~" Nagayama Naoki nodded, this is also a compromise made for the sake of traffic~

After saying a few words, Matsuzaka Keiko, who had gone through the process, had already walked down and said easily:

"It seems that today's mission has been completed!"

Then he started asking other people about their next plans, to see if they were going to have a meal or go shopping or something. He also specifically asked Naoki Nagayama, "Naoki-san, do you want to come with us?"

"...Forget it, last time I met Yuko-san by chance, and then we had a meal and it became a scandal... If we are together with four beauties this time... then...

It’s definitely going to make headlines!”

"Hahaha~ Speaking of which, Naoki Naoki's name is also very loud!" Natsume Masako actually knew this nickname and said it out without politeness!

"Hahaha~" The ladies all laughed softly, it was like having a tea party...

Nagayama Naoki suffered the loss of being mute, and looked a little helplessly at the short films on the big screen. They were all behind-the-scenes footage of the director filming the shortlisted movies. There were even his own behind-the-scenes footage in "That Summer, the Sea of ​​Tranquility".

This must be the masterpiece of the cameraman Kyū Kijima, who has a low sense of presence. Based on this level of candid photography, he should be awarded the Best Camera Award!

Just as Nagayama Naoki was waiting for the host to call him, two staff members suddenly came from the side of the venue. One was holding a video recorder, and the other was holding a long-handled radio microphone.

"Private Marseille, we are the photographers of the Film Academy Awards Ceremony, here to shoot the rehearsal behind-the-scenes~" The guy holding the microphone handed the microphone directly to Naoki Nagayama, "Mr. Naoki Nagayama, can you tell me what you are doing today?"

How does it feel to rehearse?”… “Eh? How does it feel?” Naoki Nagayama thought for a moment, “Omo series~ I have never participated in it, and it satisfied my curiosity~”

Who doesn’t know how to talk about the scene?

The man on the microphone did not stop, but continued to ask: "May I ask, did Mr. Naoki Nagayama come with anyone else? I just saw that the people sitting next to Mr. Naoki were all beautiful women!"

He also motioned to the camera man to take a picture of several beauties sitting on a round table.

"No, no, I came alone. I just met Yuko-san at the door~" Naoki Nagayama was immediately alert when he mentioned the scandal, "I just met a few seniors in the entertainment industry."

Although the other people still had smiles on their faces, they were obviously not in the private state of relaxation just now.

Signaling the camera to turn, the microphone man aimed at the younger Natsume Masako.

"Ms. Natsume Masako, how do you feel now that you have been shortlisted for the Best Actress Award this time?"

"Hahaha, I'm very surprised~ I was talking to Liangzi-san just now and I couldn't believe it~"

Beautiful women are the best at lying. It was clear that what we were talking about just now was about Naoki Naoki...

The man on the microphone turned the topic to Naoki Nagayama again: "It's a coincidence that I came to the rehearsal with Mr. Naoki Nagayama today. Is this the first time I've met him?"

"Yes, we saw each other from a distance at the award ceremony before, but I still don't know each other personally. We just got to know each other today~"

"So, what do you think of Mr. Naoki Nagayama? How does it compare with your impression?" The man on the microphone kept thinking about bringing the topic to Naoki Nagayama~

"Ah, my impression is that he is a very talented young director. After getting to know him, I feel that he has a very good personality~"

Asking others how they feel about themselves in person? Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but wonder if this guy had any opinions about him? Why did he feel so malicious?

The man on the microphone was about to ask Nagayama Naoki again for his opinion on Natsume Masako. At this time, he heard the host on the stage say: "Here are the shortlisted guests, Mr. Nagayama Naoki!"

"Private Marseille, I'm going up!" Naoki Nagayama walked up quickly, leaving the man with the microphone aside.

The actor is gone, and the remaining ones are all people who have worked hard to achieve a certain status in the entertainment industry. They are not afraid of small interviews that may be slightly malicious. The faces of the artists are all perfect, and the man with the microphone can't find any flaws at all.

, had no choice but to walk away.

When Nagayama Naoki came back, he asked Tanaka Yuko: "What happened to the interviewer?"

"It probably has something to do with newspapers or something~"

Matsusaka Keiko seemed not to be surprised, "The media are all in the same group. Award ceremonies need credibility, entertainment newspapers want tidbits, and there are always some insiders who trade tidbits with reporters. These are all clear rules. However,

Did Naoki-san offend someone? Why does that guy always ask some strange questions?"

"Well... maybe~"

Nagayama Naoki understood that that guy must belong to the big production company. He originally thought that the storm of boycotting him had passed, but he didn't expect that there was still hidden malice~

Anyway, his rehearsal was over, and this happened again. Nagayama Naoki planned to run away first: "Yuko-san, and all the ladies, it seems that I have to take the first step~ I don't know how many paparazzi are ambushing outside.

Here we go~”… The oldest Ryoko Ishida said with a smile: “Go, go, don’t let anyone catch you! We have to disperse after the rehearsal~”

We are all celebrities, and we all have deep experience of being secretly photographed. At this time, we naturally feel the same way, and shopping and other things are naturally not included~

.......

After walking out of the Prince Hotel, Nagayama Naoki put on his mask again, held up a black umbrella and looked around, and sure enough he found a few unusual vans on the roadside around him.

Who would leave the window half-open when it rains...

Instead of driving here today, Nagayama Naoki walked towards the Oneimon subway station where he came. When he arrived at the station entrance, he slowed down.

It was no longer the rush hour, and the subway station seemed very empty. Nagayama Naoki slowly pretended to be looking for his wallet at the ticket gate, so that the paparazzi behind him had to stop and wait, and then made good use of the pause to let himself be at the end.

Got into the subway in no time!

From the window, he saw people standing on the platform carrying strange big bags. Nagayama Naoki knew that these guys were paparazzi. They seemed to want to follow him. It would be best to find his own residence.

The troubles of celebrities!

Naoki Nagayama shook off his tail and sat down in the studio easily.
