654. People reveal their true nature only in darkness!(1/2)
.......
Now that he had an idea, Naoki Nagayama did not hesitate and started searching for the contact information of Takeshi Kitano's office in the office.
"Otomo-san, give me the contact information of Kitano Takeshi's office!" He asked for it directly from Yoshimura Otomo as a matter of course.
Yoshimura Otomo was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses.
"Ah, I will give you the contact information of Takeshi Kitano's office from this pile of information..."
Yoshimura Otomo pretended to look through the pile of information on the table, and then looked at Naoki Nagayama with disgust,
"Naoki-san, do you think I can really find the contact information of a masked person from scraps of paper?! Bagaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
"Alas..." Nagayama Naoki sighed, "No, there is no one~ Why are you swearing... I thought Otomo-san knew everything~"
"...."
Yoshimura Otomo didn't know for a moment whether he should be moved by such trust or angry by this attitude...
But after all, since it was business, Yoshimura Otomo still thought of a way.
Having been in the entertainment industry for many years, the connections I have accumulated are no joke. If you want to contact a famous artist, of course you can find someone who knows the artist’s contact information... After all, according to the "Six Degrees of Separation Theory"
, you can connect with people in any corner of the world through just 5 people!
"Hi, this is Ota Production Office, right? My name is Oishi Tomohiro...the contact number is XXXX" Yoshimura Otomo wrote the message with one hand, and then kept thanking the phone, "Hi, please
Yes, let’s go out for a drink next time!”
After hanging up the phone, he handed the note to Naoki Nagayama: "This is Takeshi Kitano's agent."
"It's actually Ota Production Office?" Nagayama Naoki was a little surprised by this unfamiliar name, "I thought all comedians started their business in Yoshimoto."
"Yoshimoto Kogyo is really big, and about 70% of the comedians are under their names." Yoshimura Otomo said, "But in Japan, the comedian industry has a tradition of master and apprentice, which is a bit different from the Kabuki family's inheritance of stage names.
similar."
"The passed-down comic jokes and fans, famous comedians can even support an agency by themselves, so there are still some large and small agencies that have been passed down."
"That's it~"
Naoki Nagayama nodded. In Japan, which attaches great importance to tradition, it is an exaggeration to say that some comedians can make a living by telling one kind of comic jokes all their lives... If you tell jokes passed down by others...
.Then your reputation in this industry will be bad~
Holding the note in his hand, Nagayama Naoki dialed the number of Ota Production Office. After several long tones:
"Moses Moses, this is Oishi Tomohiro made by Ota."
"Moses Moses, this is Shuyou Pictures, and I am Naoki Nagayama."
Perhaps because he heard the famous name from a strange phone call, Oishi Zhikuan was a little stunned, but he was an agent after all, so he quickly reacted:
"It turns out to be director Yongshan, whose name I have admired for a long time but have never met..."
After a polite conversation, Oishi Tomohiro asked: "Director Nagayama called Ota Production this time. Did he have any instructions?"
"Hey, it's like this." Nagayama Naoki didn't mean to go around.
"I had the honor to meet Mr. Takeshi Kitano once before at the Blue Ribbon Awards ceremony, and he left a deep impression on me. I called this time because I have a movie project and I want to invite Mr. Takeshi Kitano to participate...
..."
Tomohiro Oishi on the other side of the phone was very excited when he heard that the winner of the last Blue Ribbon Award for Best Director actually called personally to invite Takeshi Kitano to participate in the movie!
At this point in time, Kitano Takeshi has gained a little fame for his comic talents. In terms of film career, only the recent "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" has made some splash, and the other films he has participated in are all mediocre.
And now, a famous director actually invited me by name! It’s like riding a bike and suddenly getting on the Shinkansen!
Oishi Tomohiro calmed down a little: "Director Nagayama, what kind of movie is it?"
Takeshi Kitano is an artist with a strong personality and has been having trouble with his agency recently. If it were a pornographic film or something, he might not participate in it.
"It's a comedy... about a middle-aged man's journey to regain his youth..." Naoki Nagayama briefly explained the plot, "Oishi-san, if possible, I think we can meet in person.
Let’s talk in detail.”
"Ah, yes! Let's meet and chat!" Oishi Tomohiro said immediately, "When will Director Nagayama be free?"
Nagayama Naoki said: "I have time these days. Mr. Kitano Takeshi should be very busy, so I can adjust it according to his time."
"Then tomorrow!" Oishi Tomohiro said decisively, "We will go to Director Nagayama's company... What is your address?"
"ah...."
Nagayama Naoki informed Oishi Tomohiro of the address of the studio, and then decided on a time to meet. Then he heard the other party hastily hang up the phone, as if he was in a hurry to inform Kitano Takeshi.
After putting down the microphone, Nagayama Naoki looked at Yoshimura Otomo and was a little surprised:
"I didn't expect it to be so easy. I thought there would be scheduling issues or something like that."
"Naoki-san, most of our Shuyu films use newcomers or familiar faces, so you may not know much about the weight of the two Best Director Award winners in the entertainment industry."
Fangcun Otomo said with a smile,
"Now, except for the national actor level, if other actors can receive invitations from our tree friends, they will laugh out loud!"
"Last time I went to make an appointment with Takewaki Muga for Shuichi-san's movie, the office there was very welcoming!"
Nagayama Naoki thought about it, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. When there was a role selection meeting in the past, almost all agencies in the industry sent suitable artists.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There is also Tanaka Yuko who is so popular. When Naoki Nagayama said that he wanted to make a movie, he immediately agreed.
"Haha, then next time we ask Takakura Ken to make a movie~hahaha~" Nagayama Naoki smiled happily~
"..."
Yoshimura Otomo shook his head and ignored his president who occasionally acted foolishly.
.......
After helping with some daily affairs, Nagayama Naoki was released by Yoshimura Otomo until the afternoon.
There was nothing going on in the studio. In the afternoon, Naoki Nagayama decided to visit the crew of "Love Will End Like the Rain". After all, the filming of this movie was about to be completed.
Knowing the latest studio address from other people in the studio, Nagayama Naoki drove to the store manager's second-floor apartment in the dim, rainy weather.
"It looks like the rain is going to get heavier." It was almost three o'clock when Naoki Nagayama got out of the car, and a strong wind blew. "It feels like a typhoon..."
However, the filming work in the studio is still going on. This scene is when the store manager and the girl are in the apartment to come to an end of their relationship.
On a stormy night, the female high school student appeared in the store manager's apartment again and continued to express her feelings.
The older store manager was attracted by the pursuit of the female high school student, but could not respond rationally; while the female high school student on the other side was very sad, thinking that her feelings had disappeared...
Shuichi Itou said to Muga Takewaki and Kaoru Kohirai who were on the set:
"This scene of emotional expression is the top priority. As an adult, the store manager must suppress his inner feelings and say no to this emotion..."
"And Xunjiang, as the one with stronger emotions, must show reluctance at the right time..."
"In the end, the two people chose to bury this slightly budding relationship..."
"This kind of expression requires a process, and Takewaki Muaga-san and Kaoru-chan need to grasp it well!"
Then let the two people memorize the lines deeply, and then do it again.
The action of Naoki Nagayama entering the door brought a storm, which was felt by the crew members at the door. Takehiko Takei of the props team saw it first and asked in a low voice:
"Naoki-san, why are you here?"
"Come to visit the class!" Nagayama Naoki said, carrying many boxes of daifuku, "I heard that this is the last part of the scene, so I came to express my condolences."
"Ho~~~There are also condolences!"
Takei Takehiko's eyes lit up, but he was still filming at this time, so he could only take it and put it aside.
Naoki Nagayama walked silently to Masataka Komori in the passenger seat:
"Masaka-kun, how was the shooting?"
"Ah, Naoki-san~" Komori Masataka looked over, and then whispered, "I have tried more than a dozen, but Shuichi-san feels that Takewaki Muga and Kaoru-chan's performances are not layered enough... None
Showing the inner struggle between the two..."
"That's it..."
Nagayama Naoki looked at the field. Takewaki Muga frowned, and the fever-reducing patch on his forehead was a little crooked. On the other side, the little Hidari Maki Kaoru seemed to have red eyes. Did he cry just now?
At this time, Shuichi Itou, who was worried, wanted to continue to give guidance, but he saw Naoki Nagayama who was whispering to Masataka Komori and immediately shouted:
"Zhi Shusang, what are you doing sneakily there?"
"?"
Did this old boy eat Mario's mushroom? How dare he yell at me?
Then I heard Itou Shuichi's tone softening:
"Since you're here, why don't you come over and give me some advice?! This scene is so ineffective! I'm so worried!"
As everyone looked over, Naoki Nagayama also felt like he was being put on a shelf, but he didn't know anything now, how could he give advice... he could only hold off for a step:
"Shuichi-san, I see that everyone is a little tired after filming for so long. I just happened to bring a gift of condolence, so why not take a rest~"
