Chapter 264 263, Go to Iwanami Cinema for a Preview, It's Easy to Win an Award!
I brought Ying Taro to the studio quickly. Today, there are quite a lot of people, and there are many more people in the big studio.
"Otomo-san? Xiu Yi-san is here too?"
There were two people sitting in the office, Shuichi Yitang was discussing something with Otomo Fangcun,
"Aren't you going to make a movie? Are you going to run away from home again?"
Yi Tangxiu looked serious: "How could it be possible to run away from home every day. It's just that the weather conditions are not good, so I came here in the morning to deal with some things."
Naoki Yongshan looked at the clouds outside the window suspiciously, isn't this kind of weather pretty good? But he didn't think too much about it, after all Shuichi Ido is a professional, and immediately returned to his purpose of coming.
"Otomo-san, didn't you ask you to pay attention to the teahouse management talents before? Is there a suitable candidate?"
Fangcun Dayou scratched the top of his head which was already empty, he was very embarrassed,
"There are two candidates for this aspect, but they are all doing well in other stores at present."
"That's it~"
Naoki Naoyama also understands that in the Japanese culture, generally a job will be done until the end, and it will never change jobs if it is not a last resort.
"Then it seems that we can only find some newcomers, Otomo-san, what do you think of me placing a job advertisement in the newspaper?"
"It should have some effect." However, Otomo Fangcun also mentioned a way, "Naoki-san, if you don't have age requirements, you can try the university's corporate briefing. This year, Shuyou Yinghua also plans to participate and recruit some new people. .”
"Eh? Are you recruiting newcomers?"
"Yeah, didn't Naoki-san feel that our manpower is a little short?" Fangcun Otomo began to list the family's business, "Junko-san, the wild cat trio, and the new Saito Yuki-san are all needed. Those who send people to follow, the organization of the event, and the running of the announcement all need manpower."
"In addition to the distribution and promotion of the film business, it is no longer enough to simply shoot people, and it is not enough to have dedicated planners and backup forces that were previously found through interpersonal relationships."
Naoki Yongshan was overwhelmed when he heard that: "Hey, hey, Otomo-san, I'll leave all of this to you! But I still want an experienced store manager who can operate independently. It seems that I have to find my own way."
Unexpectedly, Shuyou Yinghua and GG Office expanded and went to the school to recruit people. No wonder there are many newcomers in the studio that he doesn't know, and it feels more and more like a formal company.
After talking for a long time, Shuichi Ido suddenly interrupted: "Naoki-san, so if the store manager is not sure, the teahouse will not be open for the time being, right?"
"Yes?" Naoki Naoyama hesitated to answer, feeling that there was a pitfall.
"Since there's nothing else to do, let's direct my movie!" Yi Tangxiu immediately expressed his thoughts.
Naoki Yongshan has been annoyed many times during this period, and said firmly: "Yada (don't)! I have other things to be busy with!"
"What else is there?"
"Uh, the preview and release of "That Summer, The Tranquil Sea"! As a director and producer, I'm very busy, promotional activities and so on, there are a lot of things I have to do myself!" Naoki Yongshan said more and more Confident, in the end it was just words, "So there is no time to direct any new movies!"
Itohusu squinted his eyes, and looked at Naoki Nagayama with a look like what nonsense are you talking about,
"Naoki-san, I remember that in the previous few movies, apart from attending the preview, you turned down all the promotions, right?!"
"." Ah, it's very embarrassing to be punctured on the spot.
However, Shuichi Ido did not take advantage of the victory to pursue it. After so long, he also knew that Naoki Nagayama was not interested in other people's movies, and today he was just asking out of habit.
"Speaking of which, I haven't watched the finished film of "That Summer, The Tranquil Sea" yet." Otomo Fangcun continued to ask, "It's rare to be free today. Is there a videotape of the finished film in the editing room?"
"Ah, of course. Let's go and have a look together, Otomo-san too?" Naoki Naoyama immediately returned from embarrassment, and warmly invited Fangcun Otomo to watch together.
Shuichi Ido was still asking when he was walking towards the editing room: "Naoki-san, have you decided where to go for the premiere?"
Amidst the ethereal melody, the movie ended, and the three big men were silent and did not speak.
Although I edited it bit by bit by myself, after Naoki Yongshan watched it again, he still felt that there was an emotion hovering in his heart, brewing, a touch of sadness, and lingering emotions.
But after Xiuyi watched the finished film, after a while of silence:
"Naoki-san, I have to say, it really exceeded my expectations again."
I already knew it was a tragic love story, but I didn’t expect that after watching this film, I didn’t break my defense on the spot, but that touch of sadness is like the soundtrack of the movie "Silent Love", lingering in my heart, I can’t explain it clearly Is it sad for the tragic ending of the movie, or is it moved by the silent love of the protagonist.
The melancholy blue in this movie seems to have walked into Itang Xiuyi's heart silently, and it can't go away for a long time.
Such a restrained and timeless love is really in line with the Japanese aesthetics of mourning!
Where will "That Summer, The Sea of Tranquility" premiere?
Naoki Naoyama didn't think about this question at all. Wouldn't it be enough to go to the previous movie theaters? However, after watching the movie, Osamu Itou gave another suggestion:
"Naoki-san, for this movie, I suggest going to Iwanami Cinema for a trial screening!"
Naoki Naoyama doesn’t have much impression of Japanese theaters, aren’t they all places where movies are shown:
"Iwanami Cinema? Is there anything different?"
Shuichi Ido glanced at Kuchiki-san: "Naoki-san is still a filmmaker."
Yanbo Hall, also known as Yanbo Hall, is an independent cinema located in the Yanbo Bookstore in Jimbocho, and it is the ancestor of independent cinema.
It was opened in 1968, and until 1974, it began to show European and American masterpieces that were not released due to various reasons, and thus began the road to leading independent theaters.
Most of the people who watch movies are movie lovers and people in the industry. Most of the so-called movie critics like to hang out in this independent movie theater.
The films that can be screened at Iwanami Cinemas are not necessarily niche, but they must represent the most advanced trend in the Japanese film industry, and they are the best works that can be recognized by the film industry, and they are very easy to win awards!
"To put it bluntly, it's a niche theater~" Naoki Yongshan said carelessly, "It's still so mysterious"
Shuichi Ido's hand was about to move, and he really wanted to slap Naoki Naoki's head, but considering that this guy's head might still contain countless whimsical ideas, he forcibly suppressed the urge to slap his hand .
"In short, let's go to Yanbo Cinema for a trial screening. Although the threshold is very high, I will ask my mentor to help recommend it."
Itou Shuichi's university tutor has taught and educated people all his life, and his network in the film industry is much wider than that of Shuyou Yinghua.
Moreover, since Itou Shuichi shot several blockbuster movies in a row, the relationship between him and his mentor has become closer and closer, probably from the original ordinary student to the level of a direct disciple.
Help recommend a movie among old friends, and now basically just say it.
"Hey, then follow Xiuichi-san's method~"
Naoki Naoyama would not be so stupid as to disappoint others' kindness.
While discussing the date of the trial screening, he came out of the office, Yoshimura Otomo returned to the office, and Shuichi Ido and Naoki Nagayama unknowingly walked into the large bay of the studio,
Two rows of desks side by side are scattered on both sides of the aisle. There are thick writing materials and copied materials on the desks. Some employees are buried in writing materials, and some are talking on the phone.
Originally, I wanted to talk to Masataka Komori about the test screening, but Masataka Komori was one of the members who was on the phone, and a female employee, Riko Hayano, was also on the phone next to him, with a receiver in her left hand and a receiver in her right. .
The two walked near Masataka Komori, only to hear him shouting into the phone: "Didn't it mean that the copy can be completed tomorrow?"
"Because the new movie is being filmed, we have temporarily postponed the work in this area." The female employee next to him answered the phone at this time.
Masataka Komori's volume increased significantly: "I can't accept your actions at all, please complete my needs as soon as possible, and I must see the results tomorrow!"
"This is impossible, our manpower is insufficient!" the female employee replied.
"Then ask your store manager to explain to me in person!" Masataka Komori was furious, and said like an ultimatum.
"Hi, I have recorded the specific situation, we will consider your needs!"
Naoki Naoyama on the side, looking at the picture in front of him, and recalling the scene of the phone call just now, feels very familiar:
Adjacent desks, a man and a woman are sitting next to each other but making a phone call.
Where does it seem to have seen such a scene?
Naoki Yongshan felt as if some memory was about to jump out of his mind. This familiar feeling was like a fishing line connecting the memory fish lurking in his mind. Splashes seemed to appear in his mind, and there was a ball of Memory is constantly swimming.
After both of them hung up the phone, Yitang Xiuyi couldn't help laughing:
"Haha, are Masataka-kun and Riko-chan calling each other?"
Masataka Komori turned his head and glanced at Riko Hayano before laughing too.
The way the two asked and answered before, it really looked like they were calling each other.
"Haha, Shuichi-san, I'm just calling Riko-chan~"
Masataka Komori smiled at Riko Hayano, "Hey, Riko-chan, right~".
Riko sauce? ! Riko! ! The heroine's name is Riko! ! !
This name is like putting bait on the memory thread, and the fish in my mind is biting the hook!
Large sections of memories flooded Naoki Naoyama's mind like a tide:
Katatong Zheping is a country boy named Katatong Zheping who works in an advertising company in Tokyo.
On the most unlucky day in his life, he met Riko Uesugi, an assistant in the sales department who had just been dumped by her boyfriend. The two met at the bus stop, sang K and spent the night cuddling together. Later, Zheping meets Lizi again in the sales department, only to find out that they are colleagues, and they have become a happy couple ever since.
Zheping's never-forgotten ex-girlfriend Mizuhara Sanae appeared in front of him again, and she turned into the girlfriend of Zheping's older brother Soichiro. Happy, after a series of misunderstandings, confession on the big screen, and crystal ball, the two fell in love sweetly.
In the end, Zheping, who was used to being unrestrained and unrestrained, was not sure that he could stop like this. Lizi felt discouraged by Zheping like this, resolutely resigned and returned to his hometown, waiting for Zheping to make a final decision.
The plot and images of the popular Japanese drama "Century of Love" filled my mind at once, and the theme song of the TV drama "喜せな结果 (Happy Ending)" also rang in my ears!
Naoki Yongshan has experienced this sudden infusion of memory many times, and he already has a way to deal with it.
It stands to reason that taking a few deep breaths can temporarily suppress this dizziness, and then find a free time to release the shock by writing it down.
But this time it seems a little different.
The name of the heroine Riko reminds Naoki Naoyama of the TV series in his memory like a fishhook.
The beautiful heroine who starred in the TV series is called Matsu Takako. In addition to being an actress, she is also an excellent musician. Her representative work "梦のしずく (Drips of Dreams)" happened to be one of the songs that were often repeated in her previous life.
This song also pulled out of my mind!
These two memories came together. At this time, Naoki Yongshan's ears seemed to be surrounded by two different melodies like 3D surround sound. The intertwined sense of confusion made his dizziness worse and worse, even a little nauseating.
Naoki Yongshan couldn't help supporting the desk with one hand and his head with the other, resisting the feeling of dizziness.
Riko Hayano, who was joking, was more careful. Seeing that Naoki Nagayama looked wrong, she quickly asked:
"Naoki-san, what's the matter? Are you uncomfortable?"
Shuichi Yitang also turned his head and saw Naoki Yongshan holding his head: "What's wrong with Naoki-san? Naoki-san?!"
Masataka Komori and Riko Hayano also stood up, and even the employees in the large studio noticed this.
In the auditory hallucination, Shuichi Ido's voice was like a lighthouse, which made Naoki Naoki's concentration concentrated and his thinking clearer.
Hastily said: "Xiu Yisang, please give me the paper and pen."
Writing songs down is the only way to alleviate auditory hallucinations!
Yi Tangxiu was taken aback when he heard the words, paper and pen? What do you want this for?
But he still said loudly: "Who has a pen and paper?"
And Riko Hayano picked up the pen and notebook on the table early on, and handed them to Naoki Naoyama.
Naoki Naoyama was also welcome, and took advantage of the opportunity to sit in Riko Hayano's seat, and began to write furiously in his notebook,
It is still a bit difficult to separate the two songs from the intertwined melody. Naoki Naoyama was immersed in the music in his mind, and wrote out the fragments he heard bit by bit, enduring the dizziness.
Next to Shuichi Ido, Masataka Komori, and Riko Hayano, they saw fragments of broken melodies appear chaotically on the notebook, and then slowly began to become complete and coherent.
Until the end, it became two complete pieces of music, and lyrics.
The employees in the big room were all attracted by this phenomenon, and gathered around the seat of Riko Hayano,
Looking at the song creation process from scratch, from fragments to completion in the notebook, I couldn't help but start a discussion, the buzz gradually became louder, and I even heard the sound of someone exclaiming and someone breathing in.
