This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The scene of the first meeting with gangster Takizawa Genji."
“Long shot and close-up preparation of police arrest.”
.......
One instruction after another came out of Nagayama Naoki's mouth. Sometimes he would look at the picture and discuss with the two of them whether such a shot was suitable or whether it needed to be adjusted. After all, some modifications had been made to the script, and the movie screen had to be appropriate.
Modification is.
The three of them started working in full swing. Shuichi Indou seemed to have forgotten that he had to teach Naoki Nagayama a lesson before, and he was very involved.
At this time, Yongshan Feng beside him was speechless. Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing here? Should I go?
When Naoki Nagayama turned around, he saw Kaede Nagayama doing nothing, so he smiled and said:
"Brother Feng, editing is very boring. You can go talk to the crew and see what they usually do."
"Ah, is that so? Okay~"
Looking at his cousin who was immersed in editing again, Yongshan Feng always felt as if he had done nothing this time, but he seemed to have played some role.
...
If you put your whole heart into it, the editing will never keep track of the year.
The rising and setting of the sun is sometimes just the difference between opening your eyes and closing them. When you are working hard on something, day and night are never the standard for measuring time, but the progress of editing is.
This time, in order to express his apology for letting go before, Naoki Nagayama also got angry. For a week in a row, he was just like an office worker, spending every day between the studio and Yamazakura-in. He was even more diligent than studying at school.
Grandpa Akina's funeral was held simply and solemnly. After all, he had been hospitalized many times, and the family was already prepared for his death, whether it was psychological or otherwise.
After the funeral, Akina quickly went on her next national tour to make up for all the work she had missed due to her previous leave, so she only made a phone call when she returned to Tokyo, and then started traveling across the country.
.
And Naoki Nagayama here also pushed the editing process of "Hot Blood High School" to half with extremely high efficiency.
This day, I came to the studio early again. After saying hello to everyone, I wanted to go into the editing room, but I was stopped by Yoshimura Otomo:
"Naoki-san, wait a minute."
"Nani?"
"Naoki-san, come to the office first."
"Oh~"
Like an honest child, Naoki Nagayama's mind has been filled with rolls of film and tape recently.
Yoshimura Otomo took a newspaper and asked Naoki Nagayama: "Does Naoki-san know what day it is today?"
"Um...Wednesday?" I finally remembered.
"Today is the day when the Oricon Music Chart is released!" Yoshimura Otomo scratched his head, "You haven't completely forgotten it, have you?"
"Ah, the day when the results are released!" Nagayama Naoki made a fist with his right hand and suddenly hit the open palm of his left hand, as if he suddenly remembered, "I remember!"
Yoshimura Otomo's eyes seemed to be looking at the silly son of a landlord: "Naoki-san, are you still a child? Don't learn the moves in the animation!"
"Today is the day when Ozaki-san's results are announced!"
It has been two weeks since Yutaka Ozaki held his concert, and now it is time to count his record sales. Naoki Nagayama also reacted:
"Oh? How about it? Did Yutaka Ozaki make the list?"
Yoshimura Otomo had a smile on his face: "Of course! The weekly sales of Ozaki Yutaka's second album reached 200,000 copies, and it has entered the top ten! Ranked eighth!"
"Hahaha, that's really great!"
Yoshimura Otomo handed over the newspaper: "Don't worry, there is even better news. Ozaki Yutaka's single "Sunset Song" actually topped the list with sales of 280,000 copies!"
Nagayama Naoki was surprised: "Can a record with only one single surpass the album?"
"Maybe it's because it's cheap..." Otomo Yoshimura said with a cold joke, "But the album has the potential to sell for a long time! Both Sony and Being Records are convinced of this."
"But speaking of it, Ozaki Yutaka actually occupies two positions in the top ten of this ranking!"
Yoshimura Otomo laughed: "Yes, such results would make other singers in the same period angry to death! Hahaha~"
In any case, releasing two records at the same time is too outrageous. Generally speaking, it will definitely rob the same group of fans of their purchasing desire. If the record company does this, it will lose money!
"So how are you planning Ozaki-san's itinerary next?" Naoki Nagayama didn't pay much attention to that, so he could only ask the general manager Yoshimura Otomo.
"During this period, there should be two programs: The Best Ten and the Golden Melody Stage, and then various other music programs. In short, invitations have been sent to all kinds of music programs, and Sudo-san said that he is already too busy.
"Yangcun Otomo kept smiling and continued,
"The next step will naturally be the competition for various awards. Sony and Being Records have already taken action in this regard."
Naoki Nagayama felt something was missing: "Huh? What about us?"
Yoshimura Otomo felt a little ashamed: "Although I'm a little embarrassed, our firm cannot match the influence of these judges."
"That's it..." After all, this 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 aspect. "In this case, Otomo-san...
Let’s double the public relations expenses!”
Nagayama Naoki thought of what he had said quickly before, if he really signed Akina over, his firm's power would still be a little weaker.
"Twice the volume?"
Yoshimura Otomo was surprised. Although there are not many artists under its umbrella, GG Office's public relations expenses have always been very generous due to excellent record sales.
"Hey, Otomo-san, be bold and go build relationships with people in the entertainment industry!" Nagayama Naoki handed over all external public relations matters to Yoshimura Otomo, "train Ineda Masami and the new Kawahara Takeharu...
....In short, we need to develop our personal relationships quickly."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "...Naoki-san, why don't you expand your connections!" Otomo Yoshimura looked at Naoki Nagayama, who is obviously a famous musician
And songwriters and composers are the most convenient in the music industry.
"I'm too young and inexperienced!"
When he is only in his 20s, he is asked to play the role of a good boy to win the favor of the big bosses in the music industry? This is what Kondo Masahiko did!
"Anyway, I leave it all to you!"
Nagayama Naoki left everything to Yoshimura Otomo with peace of mind, not worrying at all that he would go out independently in the future.
Which big company can give him nearly 10% of the shares? If he were to go it alone, where would he find a creative genius like Naoki Nagayama? Where would he find a technical master like Shuichi Indo? And neither of them care about anything.
.....
...
Walking into the editing room in a good mood, Yun Tang Shuichi had completely let go of his previous resentment. After seeing Nagayama Naoki, he happily said hello:
"Naoki-san, here you are~ 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 topped the list." Nagayama Naoki announced happily, "This album is considered a big success!"
"Haha, it's really amazing!" Shuichi Yindo praised without hesitation, "Then are you going to start preparing to compete in major music awards and record awards?"
"Xiu Yi-san also knows these things?"
Yoon Tang Shuichi looked calm: "Because the same is true for movie releases. After the first week's box office is out, you can start the next steps. Major awards..."
Nagayama Naoki nodded, it seems that everyone in the entertainment industry is pretty much the same!
"By the way, Naoki-san, let's talk about this..." Yin Tangxiu thought of something, "Our campaign has begun. Do you want to see my teacher later?"
"Teacher Machida Yaichi?" Naoki Nagayama recalled the old man whom he had met once before, "What's wrong?"
"The annual graduate exchange within the college is about to begin, and many students will regard this as a publicity opportunity..."
Alumni association! Isn't this kind of gathering just for the students who are doing well to show their faces and brag in front of everyone? But sometimes it is true that resources can be exchanged and mutual support can be exchanged, especially in the film industry.
You lead me and I lead you, and an inner circle in the film industry is formed!
"But I'm not a student of your college..." Naoki Nagayama asked, "Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I went?"
"Haha, it's okay!" Yin Tangxiu didn't care at all, "If those students knew that the winner of the Blue Ribbon for Best Director and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Award went there, they would be even more excited!"
Yes, at this kind of gathering, I seem to have a small status. As a guest or celebrity, I might even be able to give a sharing lecture!
I've been tired of editing movies lately, so it seems good to go out and breathe some fresh air!
"Tokyo University of the Arts is in Ueno, right?" Naoki Nagayama asked.
"Hi, it's right next to the Tokyo Museum." Shuichi Yindo knew that Naoki Nagayama had agreed, "The time is the day after tomorrow, Friday afternoon, Naoki-san, please go with me!"
"Okay~ let's go to Tokyo University of the Arts then. I haven't been there yet!"
"Hahaha, let me take you on a tour of my alma mater!" After saying that, he looked at Komori Masataka, who had been listening, "Masataka-kun, please come too!"
"Hi!"
This is about introducing connections to your apprentices!
After happily setting the time, Naoki Nagayama, Shuichi Indo and Masataka Komori once again got into the intense editing work.
The material on the editing table has been reduced by more than half. The final duel is the highlight, but it should be more convenient to edit. Overall, it will take about five days before the preview screening can begin!
Well...a week later, around August 24th, it looks like the movie will be released in early September!
Chapter completed!
