After just one screening, everyone knew that "Summer of Kikujiro" must be the most unforgettable movie this year!

........

As the lights in the theater came on, the audience started to get up and leave in the midst of excited exchanges. Many viewers directly said that they wanted to bring their friends for the second or third viewing!

But at this time, in the lobby of "Wenyunzai", the press conference for the premiere of "Kikujiro's Summer" was already getting ready to begin.

The staff guided the media reporters to take their seats in front of the main background. The audience in the back row were today, and then Naoki Nagayama led the creative staff Shi Shiran to the front of the stage...

"Mina-san, the press conference for the premiere of "The Summer of Kikujiro" has officially begun... Now we would like to invite the creative team to say hello to everyone..."

The host started to cue the process, and for a moment the light of the flashlight overshadowed the lights in the hall...

"Mina-san, good morning, I am Naoki Nagayama/Takeshi Kitano/Yuko Tanaka/Naoto Fujiki..."

After the introduction, a reporter couldn’t wait to ask:

"Director Naoki, is there a true story in "The Summer of Kikujiro"?" "Director Nagayama, did you also compose the music for this movie?" "Are the plots on the road true?" "May I ask which hotel?

Where is the location?”

The noisy voice forced the host to pat the microphone to maintain order:

"Dear journalists, please follow the order and ask questions one by one! Otherwise, we will ask you to go out!"

After preaching loudly several times, the scene became quiet again...

The host handed the microphone to a reporter in the front row, and his first question was:

"Director Naoki Nagayama, what is your purpose in making this movie?!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Well..." Nagayama Naoki was speechless for a moment, "Of course it's to make money!"

The audience started to be noisy again, and it seemed that the audience did not agree with the director's answer.

Such a movie that is full of childishness, innocence, and the purest emotions of people’s childhood, you actually associate it with the smell of copper?!

We don't agree!

Seeing that no one believed him when he told the truth, Nagayama Naoki could only hold back and continued: "Making movies to make money is a common thing, right... But making the movie "The Summer of Kikujiro"

, in fact, it is to tell a story of reconciliation with the past self..."

"Everyone has childhood, some people are healed by childhood throughout their lives, and some people are healed by childhood throughout their lives..."

The reporters below heard this and their eyes flickered. Sure enough, he was a well-known writer, and everything he said casually was filled with a sense of literature and art!

"Some people spend their entire lives healing their childhood..." Just such a sentence will definitely be included in the monthly buzzwords of the "Newspeak Buzzword Awards"!

After a narrative mixed with chicken soup for the soul and cautionary quotes, the reporter who asked the question sat down with satisfaction.

The next reporter started asking:

"Director Naoki, is the filming route of this movie exactly the same as the journey in the movie?"

"Ah, it's roughly the same, but there are some deviations... About this..." Naoki Nagayama took a movie brochure from Eiichiro Watanabe, "Our movie

The brochure explains it in detail, including several filming locations.”

As he spoke, he flipped through the brochure so that everyone could clearly see the pictures in the brochure:

"There are some reporters' questions just now. The answers can be found in the brochure... This brochure has three styles and is worth collecting! I will give it to everyone as a small gift later..."

This is an activity after helping Watanabe Eiichiro promote it.

After that, the main creators faced questions from the audience and began to answer them one by one.

For example, Tanaka Yuko was asked why she came to star in the role. Kitano Takeshi played the role of a gangster. Did she feel that the role was tailor-made? Is her personality different from her usual? The young actor Fujiki Naoto was also asked. What was the first time he made a movie?

How does it feel? Wait.

But as mentioned before the release, the problem is concentrated on Naoki Nagayama, who is responsible for about 70%.

More than half an hour passed. Surprisingly, everyone's questions were actually related to the movie. It seemed that the movie had given everyone a big shock!

But... there's still no way to escape!

A reporter picked up the microphone and began to test:

"Naoki-san, when you were filming the movie, did Ms. Akina Nakamori come to visit?"

"Akina..." Naoki Nagayama shook his head, "She was touring across the country at that time. She was so busy every day that she had no time to visit."

Naturally, you can't talk about it during a private meeting in a hotel.

Seeing that Nagayama Naoki was not angry, other reporters began to work harder.

"Naoki-san, when did you start dating Miss Akina? Can you tell me?"

"Me and Akina have known each other for a long time...but if I want to express my love, it will be on Akina's last birthday..."

"Where did you express your love? In what way can you tell me?" The reporter was very excited.

Nagayama Naoki directly poured cold water on it: "No! This is a memory that belongs exclusively to us."

"Forehead......."

The next reporter took the microphone:

"Naoki-san, how far has your relationship with Ms. Akina developed? Have you met your parents?"

Naoki Nagayama answered directly: "Not yet...but we are dating seriously on the premise of getting married..."

"When do you plan to meet your parents? When do you plan to get married? When do you plan to have children? How many children will you have? What are their names..."

The reporter who asked this question was immediately snatched away from the microphone by other reporters. What’s the point of asking a question that clearly has no answer? It’s a waste of time!

The next ten minutes became Naoki Nagayama's love affair, and he really responded to the matter of love affairs head-on, as he promised, without evading it.

Including where would you go on a date with Akina? What hobbies do the two of you usually have? What did you think of sending the airship before... Even Tanaka Yuko next to him listened with interest, until Naoki Nagayama felt a little thirsty.

.

The host spent a long time handing the microphone to the employee, and it wasn't until he saw the look in Naoki Nagayama's eyes that he finally understood.

"Mina-san, it's getting late... I have one last question! However, this is a movie premiere after all, so I would like to ask you questions related to the movie!"

As he spoke, he began to inspect the reporters present. He quickly recognized Tuo who was present and handed the microphone to him!

"Director Yongshan, after this movie, what are your next film production plans?"

"Ah...this, it does exist! The production of "High School 2" and "Midnight Ring 2" is already in preparation, but...I don't know if it can proceed smoothly.

....”

The reporters present were all attracted. Naoki Nagayama actually said he didn’t know if he could make another movie? What’s going on? Is there something happening that we don’t know about?

"Todoroki?" "What's going on?" "Director Naoki, is there any difficulty?"

Seeing the reporters present asking questions, Nagayama Naoki sighed:

"You have heard about it, right... The struggle of the Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi... made the conflict between Neon and the Yakuza obvious..."

"Is Yamaichi fighting?!" "The fourth generation leader was assassinated?" "Two gangs are taking revenge on each other?"

The reporters talked in a flurry of words.

Naoki Nagayama looked worried: "Originally, those things had nothing to do with my movie, but the chaos caused by the Yakuza struggle actually extended to Ota Ward in Tokyo...

Near our film shooting base, there is a group of Yakuza who have been causing trouble and threatening us... Even if we call the police, the Ota District Police Station can't solve it..."

"If the film base cannot be built well, then of course there will be no way to film the film!"

As soon as the words were said, the reporters present instantly realized that this was another news point!

I came to the press conference for the premiere of "Kikujiro's Summer" today, and it was really rewarding!

Movies are hot!

Romance is a hot topic!

Now there is another hot spot!

It is also involved in the security issues that have attracted public attention recently!

The flashlights of the reporters clicked again, and some reporters had already secretly made up their minds to go to Ota District for interviews as soon as possible!

On the stage, Naoki Nagayama, who was holding the microphone, slightly raised the corners of his mouth...

Plan accomplished!
Chapter completed!
