Chapter 172 171, Filming a Movie Is Simple and Quick

Chapter 172 171. Making a movie is very simple and quick~

The Oricon weekly list in mid-February is very interesting.

It is clearly "さくら~あなたに出会えてよかった~" (Sakura Sakura, I Want to See You) released by Kashiwahara Yoshie last year, but it rushed into the top 46 rankings in the first week of February, although it is far from the top ten at its peak There is still a long way to go, but considering that the cherry blossom season will last until the end of March, there is a lot of room for improvement in the future.

And will the cherry blossom season come again every year?

Junko Ito, who just debuted, left a strange impression on the audience with her ninjutsu clone technique. Her debut song "Puzzle" lived up to expectations and broke into the top 30 of the Oricon weekly chart. For newcomers, It's not a bad result.

If they continue to work hard in the future, the top 20 seem to be able to compete.

In this way, there are 2 songs by Naoki Nagayama in the Oricon rankings~

Next, Ito Junko's idol career, Nagayama Naoki completely left it to Yoshimura Otomo. Whether he chooses to continue buying singles and making records or making a transition, his opinions will prevail.

In addition, preparations for the release of "Gas Station Robbery" are also in full swing. After Kadokawa Films saw the samples, they were very sure of the quality of the film and began to actively prepare for the preview screening.

In this era before the birth of the Internet, there is no such thing as online tap water for a movie. It mainly relies on professional film critics and media for promotion, and there is also the practice of advertising on radio and television.

During this time, Itou Shuichi was busy dealing with various channels in the entertainment industry, drinking day and night.

As for Nagayama Naoki, he is currently nesting in Yamazakura Garden, studying the travel route after going to the United States.

"In short, before 911 comes, we must check in at the Twin Towers."

It can be said that the lives of the three youth team members have undergone great changes recently.

After the group was formed, they were originally intended to be backup dancers for the Tahara Trio, performing in their concerts and variety shows, and were considered companion products.

However, after being invited to film "Gas Station Robbery Incident", the backup dancer schedule became much less frequent, and the manager's attitude also changed a lot.

Yesterday, Shuichi Itou invited Isao Morikawa of Kadokawa Pictures and Johnny's public relations director Tetsu Shirami to watch the preview tape of "Gas Station Robbery". Shirami was very satisfied with the quality of the movie. I also agreed to help publish it on Johnny’s channel.

After the news came out, Nishikori Kazuki, Uekusa Katsuhide, and Higashiyama Noriyuki's popularity in Johnny & Associates skyrocketed. When they walked in the company, they were greeted kindly by their seniors, even the seniors who had always been their idols. Xicheng Hideki also waved when he saw them:

"Ichiqing-kun, Kexu-kun, Ji Zhijun, I heard that the movies they made are very good~"

"Ah, those are all compliments given by others."

"Anyway, it's a good start. I have to work harder in the future!"

"Hi, Arigado~"

Hideki Saijo has been in the industry for a long time. As an idol in his peak period, he is of course more kind to the juniors in the agency. However, the Tahara trio, who were almost at the same time as the youth team, felt a little uncomfortable at this time.

They are about the same age as the Junior Team, and their fame is on the rise. Originally, the Junior Team would not release an album until three years later, but now that this group suddenly appears, Tahara Trio’s resources will definitely be allocated. .

Kondo Masahiko watched Hideki Saijo having a cordial exchange with the youth team and curled his lips:

"Obviously he's just a backup dancer!"

Next to him, Toshihiko Tahara was quite open-minded: "It's just a movie. I don't know if there will be a chance in the future. Our main business is still in the idol industry."

Yoshio Nomura was silent for a while and said: "Don't think too much, let's go rehearse!"

Not long after Naoki Nagayama's leisurely life, Shuichi Itou called again.

"Naoki-san, don't you care about the promotion of the movie at all?" There was an unspeakable resentment in his tone.

Nagayama Naoki teased Yutaro while returning: "Isn't there Shuichi-san~"

He was really frightened by last year's promotion rhythm of being on the road for three days and two nights. This time, except for larger preview screenings and media conferences, he didn't want to participate in other small promotions at all.

"But what the hell! You guy actually want to blame everything on me?"

"After all, this movie is Shuichi-san's work~" Nagayama Naoki said calmly, "I'm just an actor with no reputation. What does it matter whether I appear or not?"

"What nonsense are you talking about! This movie is everyone's hard work!" Itou Shuichi suppressed a mouthful of blood, "I said Naoki-san, after all, the Tokyo preview is coming the day after tomorrow!"

"Preview screening~" Nagayama Naoki thought for a moment, "Can I bring friends?"

When I participated in a test screening of "Hokusai Manga" before, I was brought in by the actors.

"Hey, of course it's no problem. The venue is relatively small, so it's best not to have more than 5 people!" Originally, apart from the media and industry insiders, there were some viewers who watched the preview in advance, so it's no problem to bring some friends.

"Then we agreed, Naoki-san, that we must come to the preview screening at the Iidabashi Theater at 9 a.m. the day after tomorrow!"

If other actors don't cooperate with the promotion, Idou Shuichi will almost yell, but Naoki Nagayama is not only the screenwriter and producer, but also the real boss of his own agency.

Oh, I'm really worried!

Is it this cinema again?

After hanging up the phone, Naoki Nagayama thought about who he could invite to watch the preview.

Of course, his friends can't be missed. Thinking about it, he took out the address book,

"Moses, is it Yuanta-san?"

"Is it Naoki-san?" A female voice came from the other end of the microphone. It was Hoshino Suzumi!

Naoki Nagayama looked at the clock on the wall. It was already nine o'clock in the evening! They are already living together! This is so popular!

"Hi, Suzumi-san, it's me~ Long time no see~"

"Yeah, yeah~ Is Naoki-san calling for something urgent? Enta is taking a shower~" Hoshino Suzumi relaxed a lot after knowing it was Nagayama Naoki. From falling in love with Nakai Enta to now being about to get married, Nagayama Naoki can be said to have been with her all the time, and she didn't feel awkward~

"It's not something particularly urgent, it's the same if you talk to Suzumi-san." Nagayama Naoki hurriedly explained, "The day after tomorrow at 9 am, there will be a preview of the new movie I'm starring in, at the Grand Hall in Iidabashi. Do you want to go and take a look?"

"Huh? Naoki-san is starring in another movie?" Hoshino Suzumi was a little surprised, it seems that "Paranormal Activity" has only been out for a few months.

"Hey, making a movie is very simple and quick~" Naoyama Naoki said casually.

If this sentence was heard by the directors, screenwriters, and producers in the industry, they would probably slap him hard and then hang him on a telephone pole for public display.

At this time, a voice came from the other end of the microphone, "Lin Mei-chan, who's calling?" In the middle, Yuta had already taken a shower.

After a while of chattering, the microphone changed to a male voice: "Naoki-san, are you filming another movie?"

"Hi~" I had to repeat it again, "Say, do you want to watch it in advance? You can't buy tickets~"

"Of course!" Nakai Yuta confirmed immediately, "It's Valentine's Day and I haven't thought about what to do!"

Uh.

Yingtaro, come here quickly, someone is posting dog food here!

Others are celebrating Chinese Valentine's Day while I'm typing.
