...

In the university classroom in Ikebukuro, Tsutsui Rintaro was giving a big class, but the teacher on the podium was giving boring lectures, and only the annoying cicada outside the window was still responding enthusiastically.

He scribbled a few words on the blackboard in his notebook, and then couldn't help but wander off.

"It seems that the new movie directed by Nagayama Naoki will be released today ~ I heard it is a comedy, it looks very interesting ~"

Next to him, his friend Nobuyo Okawa, who was dressed like a peacock, poked his arm.

"Why don't you call Kotino-chan and the others after class and go take a look together~"

"You guy, if you want to chase your girlfriend, just go and do it by yourself, why bother with me!" Tsutsui Rintaro whispered back.

"Who is it that a girl as beautiful as Koto-chan would actually like to be with a lump like you~"

Nobuyou Okawa sighed, "If you don't go, she won't come out~"

"...."

Even though Rintaro Tsutsui was not very sensitive to emotions, he felt something was wrong:

"Friend...isn't the relationship between the three of us a bit complicated?"

"What's so complicated?"

"You just said that Koto-chan likes me, but you wanted to invite her out to watch a movie...and then you called me again?!!"

Rintaro Tsutsui thought about the relationship and seemed to understand something!

"Fellow...my friend! It turns out you are a licking dog!!!"

"Bah! What the hell are you talking about!" Okawa Nobuyou immediately became furious, "I'm not interested in Kotono-chan! What's important is the best friends who are with her!!"

"Beautiful girls play with pretty girls! Her beautiful girlfriends are my goals, okay!!!"

"Are they all targets?" A voice came from the side and asked a little surprised.

Okawa Shinyou subconsciously answered: "Of course, my purpose, Okawa Shinyou, is to cast the net widely, raise more fish, and only pick the best one!"

After finishing speaking, Nobuyou Okawa, who was a little proud, suddenly realized something was wrong. Rintaro Tsutsui in front of him seemed to be silent!

So the person who just asked...

He turned his head with a stiff neck, and sure enough he found the lecturer of this class standing next to them!!!

The teacher, Kawamura Ryohei, who was over fifty years old, looked at Nobumo Okawa with eyes that were either surprised or contemptuous, and he sighed in the eyes of the whole class:

"Okawa Nobuyou...you really do have the potential to be a scumbag!"

"...Teacher, please listen to my excuse..."

"I won't listen!" Lecturer Kawamura Ryohei immediately shook his head, "No matter what you say, no matter whether you are a scumbag or not, you will clean up the hygiene of this classroom today!!"

"No!!!" Okawa Nobuyou wailed!

This is a lecture theater for a large class, almost the size of two basketball courts!!!

But other students laughed happily, and for a while, the whole classroom was filled with a cheerful atmosphere!

.......

"Kikujiro's Summer" is officially released!

A movie that didn't even have a test screening made all film critics and movie lovers full of expectations, and they couldn't wait to taste the confident work of the famous director Naoki Nagayama.

At this time, someone dug out previous reports. Naoki Nagayama said that this is a movie that will win both the Oscar and the Palme d'Or!

The press conference for the movie's premiere was still arranged at "Wen Yun Sitting". This cinema has become a dedicated theater for Shuyou Films by some strange combination of circumstances.

I heard that Tomohiko Sugiyama, the director of the Shuyou Distribution Section, and the owner of the cinema have reached an agreement to cooperate and will put a special film display cabinet of Shuyou Films in the exhibition hall next to the main entrance of the cinema.

Today, in the exhibition hall located on the corner of the street, there is a huge poster with scenes from "Kikujiro's Summer" on it, as well as advertisements such as showing times... This week, "Bun Yun Zai" will play it

this movie!

"Naoki-san, what's the problem?"

Eiichiro Watanabe, the planner of Shuyu Pictures, asked while standing in front of the display table in the lobby. He saw Naoki Nagayama reading the movie brochure on the display table.

"Are there actually three different types of manuals here?" Naoki Nagayama flipped through the manuals at random. The three different color manuals were randomly chosen for each cinema according to the previous decision.

"Hey, this is specially prepared for today's media meeting. Then we will also publicize the three different brochures..." Watanabe Eiichiro explained.

"That's it~"

Nagayama Naoki nodded and said nothing more. His own planning was still very effective.

At this moment, a greeting came from the door: "Naoki-san~"

"Yuko-san!" Naoki Nagayama happily greeted this mature elder sister and admired her skin that had turned white again, "We haven't seen her for just a few days, and the tanned Yuko-san has turned white again.

, she has become so beautiful again...it’s really impressive if you haven’t seen her for three days..."

"What a glib tongue!" Tanaka Yuko was obviously even happier after hearing this. She walked to Naoki Nagayama and smiled, "I'm surprised, Naoki-san is amazing. He actually announced his love without saying a word..."

"Don't you already know this~"

"I made the announcement suddenly without thinking about it!" Tanaka Yuko continued, and then looked at Nagayama Naoki with some worry, "Although I knew from the phone that you woke up from a coma, is there really no problem?"

"Silly tape! I'm very healthy!"

"That's good~"

The two people, who had not seen each other for almost a month, chatted very familiarly. After a while, they saw Kitano Takeshi and the young actor Fujiki Naoto and his father Fujiki Takuya...

There was inevitably another set of pleasantries, and then we got back to the topic.

"Naoki-san, there will be a media meeting after this premiere. Media reporters and film commentators may have very strict requirements for this movie!" Kitano Takeshi has heard the news in the media circle, "By then,

During the interview..."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Haha, stupid tape! If I ask you, just tell me your true feelings, and the rest doesn't matter." Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "Reporters are most likely

They will focus their firepower on me!"

"?Why?"

"Because I went out on publicity before, I will accept some interviews that have nothing to do with the movie today..."

"...."

Now everyone knows it, and the reporters will definitely surround Naoki Nagayama and not let go!

During the unhurried chat, the cinema soon welcomed many moviegoers. Of course, Naoki Nagayama and the others followed the crowd and walked into the screening room, waiting for the start of the movie in the front row seats.

.

As time slowly passed, the seats in the theater slowly filled up... As the lights dimmed, "Kikujiro's Summer" officially began!!

The light piano sounds, and the jumping rhythm is like a cheerful child. The melody of "Summer" leads people to that joyful childhood summer~

The first scene is a long shot. Masao, a little boy wearing a fancy shirt, runs over from the other end of the bridge, with a happy smile on his face, quick and brisk steps, carrying a small blue cloth bag, hanging

Sky blue angel bells run towards the other end of the bridge...

"This is the end of the journey~"

Takeshi Kitano was stunned for a moment, did he actually reveal the final ending in the first scene? As expected of Naoki-san! The editing is also so unconstrained.

The transition that followed was like turning a page in a storybook, which even surprised the audience...

The official beginning of the story is not very happy all of a sudden. The gloomy little boy Zhengnan is on summer vacation. His friends go to the countryside for summer vacation. The football class is disbanded. As an orphan, he lives with his grandmother and can only read books alone...

...

During such a holiday when a child should be happy, he seemed particularly lonely, which gave rise to the idea of ​​​​looking for the mother who abandoned her...

At this time, he met a cynical middle-aged old gangster-Kikujiro.

An old, crooked and introverted little boy embarked on a sad and joyful journey to find his family this summer.

When they saw Masao almost being molested by the perverted uncle, the audience became angry; when they saw Kikujiro being carried in the swimming pool, everyone laughed again; when Kikujiro caused trouble, people hated him; when he blocked the car in a funny way on the road

At this time, everyone felt funny again...

However, when Masao found out that his mother had a new family, his feeling of loss reminded Kikujiro of his childhood, and it also affected the mood of the people watching. Many viewers had tears in their eyes.

The second half of the movie is filled with a strong sense of warmth. They meet a kind motorcycle duo and a traveling writer. They camp together on the bank of the Tianlong River, using childish and funny jokes to soothe Masao's heart. Kikujiro

I also forgave my mother and reconciled with my childhood...

The timely original music and the melancholic blue that permeates the details make the originally noisy comedy seem quiet and soft, like a pair of gentle hands soothing the audience's mood.

In the final "summer", the movie ended and the cinema was silent for a long time. Then someone started to applaud, and then more people started to applaud, and finally the applause was like thunder!

"What a masterpiece~" "It turns out that comedy can still be shot like this!" "Naoki Nagayama can be said to grasp the audience's mood in the palm of his hand!" "After watching the movie, I feel like my heart has been ironed!" "

This is a fairy tale filmed for adults!”…

Whispering emotions continued to spread among the movie reviewers and movie lovers at the scene, and praise for this movie kept coming from the mouths of critical reviewers.

After the movie was released, everyone finally understood why Naoki Nagayama dared to premiere it without even a test screening!

The same feedback is received from cinemas in Tokyo to cinemas in Kyushu.
