Chapter 545 543, Let the Heat Rise to a Higher Level! ! !

Things unfold faster than expected, even in snow-covered Tokyo.

As more and more people watched the movie and heard the emotional theme song "Snow Flowers", the reputation of the movie "Love Letter" spread rapidly among people.

Pedestrians on the street, students in schools, workers in office buildings, and even housewives and elderly people at home have all heard about this movie.

“I heard it’s very beautiful!” “The theme song is also nice!”

"I had a crush on someone when I was in school!" "Huh? Was it me?"

"It reminds me of good memories. This movie is very heartwarming~"

Young people who have watched it marveled at the delicate and sincere emotions in the movie, and the natural and expressive character performances, which satisfied their best memories of secret love.

"This opening shot is absolutely amazing! It's like an angel falling into the world!" "Different personalities, played by the same person! It's outstanding!"

"It was just perfect when I recalled it! It also echoes the ending!"

Professional film critics praised the film's use of lenses and praised the director's editing skills. With two story lines from different perspectives and a montage of past memories, the film can develop so smoothly. It's really amazing;

As for film production companies in the entertainment industry, they feel they have learned a valuable lesson.

Yamamura Toshitaka, the director of Toei's planning and sales department, was also reading reports about "Love Letter" in newspapers and periodicals in the office at this time. His confidant assistant Toru Nakano sighed next to him:

"Naoki Nagayama is really amazing. He actually made three movies in a row! I really don't know how he made it!"

Yamamura Toshitaka didn’t comment too much on the shooting speed: “To shoot a movie quickly, it just means that the director is good at shooting. He writes the script, shoots and edits himself. He has a clear target scene in his mind and has the power to make decisions. Naturally, he will soon

When Shochiku's 'Urada Cinematographer' was established and the director-centered studio system was confirmed, movies were also booming at that time, and it was not uncommon to see one movie a month."

"But what really surprised me was the way Shuyou Pictures used this promotion method!" Toshitaka Yamamura put down the newspaper, "This kind of abandonment of early previews, media interviews, and test screenings

Instead, I boldly released it directly! "

"This kind of movie announcement has never happened before!"

Nakano Tohru didn't understand: "But if no one goes to see it, then the movie's momentum will be ugly!"

"This is the cleverness of Shuyou Pictures!" Yamamura Toshitaka seemed to have a pearl of wisdom in his grasp, "First, through the scandal of the leading actor, it attracted the public's curiosity, but did not promote the movie."

"Then, on holidays like Christmas, it suddenly spreads all over the city! Bus stations, subway stations, office buildings, newspapers and TV stations allow every Tokyoite to hear and see everything during this period at the end of the year. love letter"!

But what is surprising is that we were lucky enough to get snow! It’s really the right time, place and people are all together! "

Nakano Tohru smiled: "Maybe it's artificial snow~"

"Are you Baga? Do you think artificial snowfall is the Winter Olympics?" Toshitaka Yamamura looked at his confidant angrily, feeling that he was a bit stupid for the first time.

"Hey, hey, just saying~" Tohru Nakano quickly explained, and then added, "So what will Shuyou Pictures do next? Have you already done all the ways to promote it?"

Toshitaka Yamamura crossed his hands on his chin and thought for a moment: "Next, if it were me, I would find a way to make this hotter even more popular!

No matter what, we must maintain this enthusiasm!

During this time at the beginning of the new year, get maximum exposure and make everyone want to see the movie.

Coupled with the word-of-mouth effect of "Love Letter" itself, it can achieve the largest box office! "

"Want to take the heat to the next level? The heat is already so high! It's already hard to keep it hot!"

Nakano Toru said, and even in the Showa era before the Internet, entertainment hot spots in the entertainment industry were one after another!

"Yeah~" Yamamura Toshitaka nodded, "But I always feel that this guy Naoki Nagayama will give everyone a little surprise!"

In the office of Kadokawa Group, Planning Director Isao Morikawa was a little aggrieved:

"Haruki-san! Shuyu Pictures didn't notify us at all this time! They just released it directly! I think they want to get rid of Kadokawa Pictures and go it alone!"

Kadokawa Haruki read the newspaper leisurely:

"Don't worry, Shuyou Pictures won't want to get rid of Kadokawa! This time they just changed the way of publicity. Besides, aren't we still the ones doing the box office settlement? The dividends will not be less. !”

"But... they didn't use our distribution channels at all!"

"Ah, this is the matter." Kadokawa Haruki put down the newspaper, "President Yoshimura of Shuyu Pictures called me and said that he wanted to build his own distribution department. Morikawa, you should be in trouble when it comes to distribution. Are they there?"

"Huh? How could it be?!" Isao Morikawa quickly explained, "We all settle according to the market price! We also work very hard when promoting!"

"I see!"

Kadokawa Haruki understood as soon as he heard it. The company he invested in gave Kadokawa a huge cash cow with huge dividends, but it actually used the high-sounding market price. No wonder they wanted to build their own distribution channels!

Isao Morikawa also knew that the market price was a bit unkind, so he quickly promised: "Haruki-san, we will definitely help distribute it at the lowest cost in the future!"

"If it doesn't come next year, Shuyou Pictures will make company adjustments and build its own distribution channels."

Kadokawa Haruki remembered the exchange during the previous chat. Tree Friends Filming was going to turn into a Tree Friends Group. It seemed that they had already begun to try it!

In this case, maybe I should consider increasing my shareholding, or follow Otomo-san's suggestion and replace it with part of the equity of Kadokawa Pictures?

"This" Isao Morikawa looked ugly, a huge amount of revenue was gone!

"Morikawa." Kadokawa Haruki looked at his subordinates, "Next year, the relationship between our Kadokawa and Shuyu Pictures will be even closer. The Shimizu Imami who was sent there before is already useless, right?"

"Yes, he has completely devoted himself to the underworld organization!" Isao Morikawa's mouth twitched. He had great expectations for Ren Hao Qingshui!

"Ha, it's also a choice." Kadokawa Haruki didn't say much. In this era, joining a club may not be a way out. "But next year, I still have to send someone to make friends. The development will be amazing! We need to be closer." yes!"

"Hey, I got it!"

At the same time, Kotaro Sakai, director of the production bureau of TV Tokyo, also noticed the news of the past two days, and his focus was also on the planning capabilities of Shuyu Pictures.

Recall the previous "Maoyan Sisters" and Fuji TV's latest popular variety show "Twilight Meow Meow".

"It should be Naoki Nagayama's work!" Kotaro Sakai thought of the young man who looked like a character from a book. "What a genius!"

After thinking for a while, he stood up and walked towards the minister's office.

"You should have more contact with Shuyou Films."

Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori are being interviewed continuously.

After the film media meeting in the morning, they received various connections and phone interviews on the road. At noon, the two of them went to Fuji TV to be recorded for an interview program.

Nagayama Naoki came with Kenyin's car. Shuichi Itou really couldn't stand being the light bulb and mascot, so he ran away during the previous show.

However, after getting off the bus this time, I didn’t expect anyone to greet me. Sugiura Oyasu and Nishi Rumi were waiting at the door.

"Naoki-san, we're here again~" Sugiura Otae said with a smile, welcoming people into the headquarters building.

"Yeah. I just came to "All Night Fuji" not long ago, and now I'm here again~" Naoki Nagayama shrugged.

"It means Naoki-san really made big news this time!"

Sugiura Oyasu glanced at Akina Nakamori, who was chatting with Nishi Rumi, "It is said that all the TV stations are calling Kenyin now, wanting to make an appointment with Akina Nakamori, and if Naoki-san is not familiar with it, Can’t even find anyone”

"Hahaha~" There is no refutation of this point. Nagayama Naoki rarely announces his agent or public contact information. Those who can find him are acquaintances.

After all, whether it is the programs or movie productions he participated in, most of them were sponsored by Shuyou Pictures.

"So Fuji TV doesn't mean it's exclusive?" Naoki Nagayama and Oyasu Sugiura were joking as they came to "It's Okay to Laugh!" 》studio.

"Naoki-san, Akina-chan, this time is special, so we directly adopted the live broadcast method." Otasu Sugiura led people to walk next to Tamori, "You guys have also participated in "It's Okay to Laugh!" Recording, and Tamorisang should also be acquainted~"

"Hi, we do know each other." Tamori smiled immediately after seeing Naoki Nagayama, "I will never forget the guest who confessed to my assistant host for the first time on the show!"

"."

Nagayama Naoki smiled awkwardly. He really couldn't hold it back that time. Suddenly he recalled that someone came to show his sage, "one-minute friend" or something like that.

It’s so shameful to think about it now!

By the way, if you don’t know how to be the assistant host, is it Miss Sanae Miyata? ! Nagayama Naoki glanced around in a concealed manner, and sure enough he spotted Sanae Miyata's figure, really!

When I glanced at Akina Nakamori next to me, I found that her face was calm, as if she hadn't heard anything~

"Tamaris-san, I'm leaving it to you today~" Sugiura Otaisan said, "Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori are also temporarily participating today, so the control of the program still depends on the experienced Tamori-san!"

"Hey, hey, stay calm!" Tamori, who was wearing sunglasses, looked very relaxed. After all, he had more than ten years of experience in variety shows.

Tamori just briefly talked about the process, and then showed the two of them a few reservation questions, and then prepared to go on his own, mainly relying on his on-the-spot performance.

In the studio, materials related to "Love Letter" are being prepared intensively, and even an oversized poster was borrowed. I watched the host and director keep communicating, and then explained to the guests that today was a live broadcast, so they couldn't cause trouble.

Nagayama Naoki quietly said to Akina next to him: "Akina, have you participated in "It's Okay to Laugh!" before?"

"During the second album, I came to participate," Nakamori Akina whispered back, "Has Naoki-san come to participate many times?"

"Only one time."

"Ah, that was the time when I confessed my love!" Akina Nakamori smiled mischievously, "Let me take a look, ah, the assistant host is still there! Shiro, she looked over!"

Naoki Nagayama looked at his young girlfriend who suddenly became nervous and felt a little helpless: "That time we were just discussing the movie. We had no intention of confessing at all!"

"Oh? Really?" Nakamori Akina pretended to look at the assistant host Miyata Sanae, "Miyata-san looks very cute!"

"."

Nagayama Naoki looked at the people around him and didn't notice it. He quietly stretched out his claws and poked Akina's waist. Although it was very thin, it was very ticklish. This was a conclusion drawn from practice!

"Ah!" Akina whispered and angrily slapped Nagayama Naoki's arm, "Damn Naoki-san!"

The studio preparations were completed, and at noon, with the command of the on-site director, the program officially started.

The live broadcast begins with a warm-up:

"It's snowing today! It's so cold."

The audience in the audience responded: "That's true!"

"There was a movie released while it was snowing. I heard it was very popular!"

"Indeed!"

"Looks like it's worth a good chat~"

"Indeed!"

"Hahaha~ Welcome everyone to today's "It's Okay to Laugh!"" Then Tamori said directly at the beginning: "This episode of the program will be broadcast live. If there are any mistakes, please let my assistant Miyata Sanae, come and apologize!”

The audience in the audience suddenly started cheering, while the assistant host Sanae Miyata on the other side bowed helplessly.

"Please forgive me~"

After a few words of warm-up, Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori were directly invited in, "Today, we have invited the leading actors of "Love Letter", Akina Nakamori and Naoki Nagayama! Welcome them!"

Amidst a burst of applause, Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori walked in.

"Naoki-san, do you still remember my assistant host?" Tamori joked directly, "If Akina-chan is around this time, please don't tease others!"

Nagayama Naoki felt that this joke was difficult to handle today: ".I told you, it was just a show~"

"Sanae-san doesn't think so!" Tamori pointed at Sanae Miyata on the other side, "She has already regarded you as a friend for a minute!"

"."

Seeing that the teasing was successful, the host and Akina Nakamori laughed happily, and the audience burst into laughter.

"It's okay to laugh!" " is a program with high ratings, and it is during the noon time period. Many people watch it while having lunch at home.

At this time, many housewives will laugh heartily, because at that time, "one-minute friends" was really impressive.

"Did the movie "Love Letter" starring Nagayama Naoki and Nakamori Akina suddenly pop up in the past two days?" A housewife asked, "Would you like to take a look?"

He turned his attention to the TV screen again and saw supporter Tamori taking out an envelope.

"Akina-chan, this is the letter, right?"

"Hey, that's about it." Akina Nakamori said, "I bought it from a convenience store, the cheapest kind."

Tamori looked surprised: "Huh? Is it so casual? This is a letter sent to heaven!"

"Naoki-san asked someone to buy it!" Akina Nakamori decisively threw the blame.

Nagayama Naoki had to explain aloud: "Because it was a rush at that time. It snowed heavily in Otaru and no other stores were open, so I just bought one at random. The important thing is the meaning of this letter!"

"That's it." Tamori put her hands to her mouth and shouted in a funny way, "Are you OK? I'm OK~"

The overly funny action made everyone present laugh: "Hi, yes."

Next, the host asked about interesting things during the filming and the considerations when announcing the release. Generally speaking, the questions were very similar to the questions at the press conference, but Tamori's questions were more gentle and funny from time to time, which made the whole The process was very smooth and the program was very effective.

In Japan, famous comedians are all people with outstanding abilities and emotional intelligence.

While chatting and laughing, Tamori suddenly said: "Naoki-san, Akina-chan, if you want to write a letter to the lover you have missed, how would you write it?"

This is a pitfall!

Naoki Nagayama reacted immediately, but Akina Nakamori said very matter-of-factly: "It certainly can't be 'Are you OK? I'm OK', which is weird, right?"

"." The host Tamoli didn't know how to answer for a moment, little girl, you are promoting your own movie!

"Then what would Akina write?"

"I don't know, I don't have a lover I've missed," the little girl answered seriously.

"Eh?!" The audience in the audience exclaimed again.

"Hundou?" Tamori asked in surprise, "Not one?"

"No!" Akina said so bluntly that even the host had to believe it.

There was no breakthrough from this side, so Tamori immediately changed direction: "Naoki-san, how would you write it?"

".I don't know either, I don't have a lover I've missed either!"

Nagayama Naoki was sure that he was telling the truth, but Tamori and the audience below all booed.

"Naoki-san, Todoroki?" the host asked suspiciously, "Can't you mention any of them?"

"." Is this discrimination? It's definitely discrimination, right?

Host Tamori still didn't give up: "But I heard that Naoki-san had a crush on Ms. Yamaguchi Momoe?"

Ah, I really can’t refuse this~

Naoki Nagayama considered it for a moment: "Yes, but for Yamaguchi Momoe, it's just admiration! It's not a secret love!"

"I see. But if Naoki-san had never had a crush on anyone else, how could he have written a novel like "Love Letter" and made such a film that reflects the delicate, youthful, teenage crush?"

The host still doesn’t believe it~

Nagayama Naoki was unable to reply for a moment. Could it be that he was remembering memories from the future? If you don’t say it, there is really no way to explain it!

"Well, actually these are just based on imagination! Hmm!" Nagayama Naoki said forcefully, "Actually, as an author, many times what I write is actually just imagined in my mind!"

"Oh? Fantasy," Tamori continued to ask, "Can fantasy actually create such sincere emotions?"

"Of course! Don't underestimate an author!"

"Xu" The audience in the audience booed again, clearly not believing it. Naoki Nagayama didn't know how to refute, so he could only pretend to be calm, as if everything was true.

Tamori thought that this episode was being broadcast live and could not put too much pressure on the guests, so he gave a step up:

"That's it, then if Naoki-san fantasizes and misses a secret love. Ah, no, it can't be the same as "Love Letter". By the way, if you miss the last relationship, it will be like the relationship with Miyata Sanae!! If you want to redeem yourself, how should you write to her? "

"Is this redemption? That's an apology," Naoki Nagayama said.

"A simple apology can't win back Sanae-chan's heart!" Tamori regained her relaxed attitude and joked.

"this"

Nagayama Naoki knew that this was a live broadcast, and if it was not done well, it might cause people to question the "Love Letter" he wrote, which would also have an impact on the "Love Letter" movie.

My mind was spinning. The classic collection of quotations that I remembered suddenly appeared in my mind - "Passing Through Your World". Naoki Nagayama thought about what he could say.

I want to have someone like you? No, I said it before!

swallow! How can I live without you! .It’s too explicit!

I once wanted to be your whole world, but in the end I was just passing by~ No, this is a breakup!

You leave a legacy to this world, and I am your only legacy. .Is this dead?

Seeing that the guests were silent, Tamori kindly prepared to give him a step forward: "If we can't think of it at the moment, then we"

At this moment, Naoki Nagayama suddenly thought of the most famous line, which was like a fishhook, catching the memory in his subconscious.

For a moment, the entire "Westward Journey" movie emerged in my mind, including Monkey, The Second Master, Bai Jingjing, Chun Sanniang, Tang Sanzang, and Bodhisattva.

The excessive memory made his mind a little confused, and he just said subconsciously:

"There was once a true love in front of me. I didn't cherish it."

"You won't regret it until you lose it."

“There is nothing more painful than this on earth.”

"If God can give me another chance, I will say to that girl: I love you."

"If you want to add a deadline to these three words, I hope it is

a thousand years! "

The microphone placed in front of the stage amplified Naoki Nagayama's words word for word.

For a moment, Tamori, Miyata Sanae and Nakamori Akina next to him all looked at him. The audience below fell into silence from the moment they started talking. Even the director of the show forgot to add sound effects. The entire studio Absolute silence fell.

After a long time, Tamori reacted with his strong hosting skills, and said excitedly:

"this

This is really

Si Guoyi! ! ! "
