Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 1108 Chapter 1117, Take off! It’s all for art!!!

The weather in October is a little cool, but you can still wear just a T-shirt at noon.

Today we happened to be shooting the earliest scene of demolishing a house. The prop masters of the crew built an almost abandoned apartment for Naoki Nagayama, Akina, and Toshihiko Tahara, who played another good friend, to carry out the demolition work together.

The house demolition scene is a physical job in summer, so the men have to be shirtless, so the actors Toshihiko Tahara and Naoki Nagayama wear jeans on the lower body, but their upper body must be naked.

"Naoki-san" Tahara Toshihiko was a little shy, "Do you really want to take it off?"

"Of course, this is written in the script. It's supposed to reflect masculine charm!"

Naoki Nagayama said calmly despite the teasing of the men in the crew and the hungry gaze of the little girl,

"Take it off! It's all for art!"

Then he was ready to take off his shirt first. The naked eyes of the crew were getting more and more intense. However, one of the hot eyes came from his wife Akina who was wearing a short shirt next to him!!!

Why are you pretending? You've seen it at home before!

Naoki Nagayama took off his T-shirt with a determined heart. His well-proportioned upper body had clear muscle lines, and the vest line that most women like was also looming with his movements.

"Hmm~~" "Wow~~" "Great!" "No more, no more."

There were exclamations from the crowd, and it seemed that the woman of color had started to bleed from her nose!

As for Naoki Nagayama, he felt a little ashamed before taking it off, but after taking it off, he actually felt a sense of open pleasure.

He looked at Tahara Toshihiko beside him and said:

"Toshihiko-san, what are you afraid of? We are all men! Haven't you been to the gym recently?"

"."Takahara Toshihiko shook his head and took it off with gritted teeth.

Although Japanese idols tend to be more feminine, the afterglow of the Showa era is still there, and masculinity is still one of the directions for older male idols to transform.

Toshihiko Tahara is no longer the young star he was a few years ago. As he gets older and his popularity declines, he has naturally thought about this aspect, so he has been exercising his muscles for a long time.

Now that he's taken off his clothes, his muscles are clearly defined, making women drool.

The two handsome men at the scene were naked and providing benefits, which was a feast for the eyes for the men and women in the crew. The happiest one among them was naturally Ming Cai, who was closest to the two!

Although she wanted to be a good wife, her eyes would naturally wander between the two of them, just like a man with a girlfriend would glance at a beautiful woman when he saw one on the street.

After comparing them, Akina, with a blushing face, came to the following conclusion:

"Naoki-san is better looking after all."

Naoki Nagayama, on the other hand, gave orders to the crew after the two of them were ready for filming:

"The prop team, bring the sledgehammer over here. The camera team, get ready. Listen to my command and get ready to start filming. Everyone else, keep quiet!"

At this time, Hezi came over with a clapperboard, smiling. The content on the clapperboard was of course not written by her. She just shouted in front of the camera.

"Ghost, Scene 1, Shot . Begin!"

With a crisp click, several people present began to move.

Naoki Nagayama waved the hammer in his hand again and again, shouting "eighty" and "eighty" in his heart a few times, and then he hammered through the thin layer of wooden wall.

"What a shabby place," said Toshihiko Tahara, leaning on a hammer.

Akina poked her head out of the gap:

"It's a place full of history, and it seems there's money there!"

The three found an ancient copper coin in the gap of the wall, and they didn't know when it fell into the gap.

"This is a lucky coin!" Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "Akina, keep it well!"

"Crack!"

Kijima Kyon shouted,

"Naoki-san, call out the character's name. Fujiwara Aori!"

"Ah!" Naoki Nagayama shook his head embarrassedly, "Private Marseille, it's my fault! Please do it again."

There is nothing that can be done about it. After all, the person he is acting opposite is his wife, who he lives with day and night. Naoki Nagayama always subconsciously calls her the wrong name.

From this point of view, his talent as an actor is not even as strong as Akina's. After all, Akina has never called out the wrong name when performing.

After a while of noise, the crew continued filming.

"This is a lucky coin!" Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "Qingli, keep it well!"

"Hi!"

Fujiwara Aori, played by Akina, and the male protagonist Hirakawa Toshifumi were hugging each other intimately, while her good friend Nishiyama Kota next to them was like a big light bulb, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all.

From this we can see that these three people are indeed good friends, and they never thought that one of them would murder another later.

"Let's check out the second floor."

"Good~"

In the plot of the script, the two are in the passionate period of love and want to live together, so they look for a house to renovate~

Naoki Nagayama carried Akina directly to the second floor. During the time, they couldn't help making each other laugh and occasionally kissing. This scene was simply the embodiment of happiness.

And the big light bulb, Toshihiko Tahara, turned into a coolie, cleaning up the construction waste below.

Following the actions of several people, the camera captured this scene well.

After the filming of this series of scenes was completed, Naoki Nagayama stood shirtless behind the camera and watched the director's monitor to see what had just been filmed.

"Naoki-san, put on your clothes!"

Akina brought Naoki Nagayama's shirt and asked him to put it on. Because he was shirtless, many women in the crew would find excuses to come up to him and take advantage of him.

Humph, you just watched it to satisfy your eyes when you were filming it, but you still want to get your hands on it?! Didn’t you see your legal wife was right next to you?!

"Well, that's about right."

With the help of Akina, Naoki Nagayama put on his clothes subconsciously.

"This earliest scene has almost been shot. After that, we are waiting for the prop master to set up the scene and start shooting the moving scene."

“The shooting will be accelerated afterwards.”

Akina had also read the script in full and was naturally aware of the progress of the filming.

Naoki Nagayama signaled Kyon Kimura to arrange the next scene, while he sat in the director's chair and took a short rest.

Just now, swinging the sledgehammer and holding Akina, although it was easy to shoot, but it was also very tiring to repeat it more than ten times~

"Naoki-san, when Yamazakurain was first renovated, was it also like this?"

Akina took a bottle of soda and drank it, looking at the abandoned apartment and feeling inspired.

"That's not quite the same. At that time, Yamazakurain had just been uninhabited for a long time, so it was a little gray." Naoki Nagayama took a sip of Akina's soda, "But the decoration inside was still intact, and it could even be said to be quite luxurious."

“It’s just that the renovation team dismantled it and renovated it afterwards. It’s similar to the old house on the island when filming The Ring.”

"Why did you suddenly bring up The Ring?" Akina shook her head. She trembled a little when she thought of Sadako.

"Hahaha, because they are all horror movies~"

The two were chatting happily when suddenly Tsuruko came over and said with a smile:

"Ni-chan, you've had a good workout. Your muscles are in great shape!"

".Tsuruko, stop acting like a nympho!" Nagayama Naoki rolled his eyes, "Also, call me director on the set!"

"Okay, okay, great director!"

Hezi looked unconcerned. She was now a "slacker" or "odd job" in the crew and could be called upon whenever needed.

However, since she is Naoki Nagayama's younger sister, no one would ask her to move heavy objects or serve tea, water, or buy coffee.

She was assigned easy jobs like a stagehand or a stage assistant.

"I didn't expect there would be so many benefits on the set. Just now, if the photo of Tahara Toshihiko was leaked, the fans would definitely scream! Ah, if the photo of Director Nagayama was leaked, it would also cause a sensation~"

"." Naoki Nagayama narrowed his eyes, "Tsuruko, you didn't use a Polaroid camera or something like that, did you?"

Cell phones didn't have camera functions back then.

"How is that possible? I just said that!" Hezi immediately shook his head.

Instead, Mingcai echoed:

"Yeah, yeah, the photo of Jun-chan and Naoki-san can be used as a poster! It will definitely attract a large group of female viewers!"

"."

Naoki Nagayama was helpless.

"Akina, your husband was seen naked by others, aren't you angry?"

"What's the big deal? I saw it too!" Akina said confidently!

Alas. Naoki Nagayama sighed. It is true that only women and villains are difficult to raise.

Forget it, let’s just continue shooting. The sooner we finish, the sooner we’ll finish!

While the filming of "Ghost" is in full swing, the excitement of the Tokyo International Film Festival continues.

After the opening ceremony, many stars who had no urgent matters chose to stay in Tokyo for a few days to promote their movies, discuss new collaborations, and sightsee Tokyo, waiting for the closing ceremony to end before going back.

During this period, the original discotheque in Takadanobaba, the KTV in Tokyo, and the colorful clubs and nightclubs also opened the eyes of foreign celebrities.

In addition to international metropolises such as New York and London in Europe and America, there are also cities with prosperous nightlife in Asia~

So sometimes you get to run into internationally renowned stars in entertainment venues in Tokyo!

The agglomeration effect of stars naturally attracted their fans and moviegoers to come to the film festival, and it was like a festival. Various shopping malls and specialty stores also started promotional activities in the name of the film festival, and the entire Tokyo's tourism industry seemed extremely prosperous.

"The influence of the Tokyo International Film Festival is really growing!"

Yoshimura Otomo said to Idou Shuichi during a casual chat,

"No wonder it's coveted."

"Yes, for tree friends, this is just about making money and expanding influence, but for people in the political world, this is political achievement!"

Yi Tangxiu nodded.

"The Yokohama Film Festival is by no means as popular as the Tokyo International Film Festival, but it has helped the mayor of Yokohama take several steps further."

“These are what officials value.”

"Otomo-san, have you found the person who caused trouble at the opening ceremony?" asked Shuichi Ito.

"No, but the private detective found out that an employee of the Cultural Affairs Bureau was suddenly sent on a long business trip to Hokkaido." Yoshimura Otomo said, "The private detective has gone there now, and it should be possible to determine whether there is any connection soon."

"Oh? This private detective is so powerful?"

"I heard that he used to be a spy and received training from the CIA."

"really?"

"Who knows, but the fee is very high~" said Yoshimura Otomo, "Anyway, we should be able to find the person behind the scenes soon."

"Haha, I must teach him a lesson then!"

Shuichi Idou was also very indignant about that incident.

"Shuuichi-san," Yoshimura Otomo suddenly asked, "Have you ever considered becoming the founder of an industry association?"

"?"

"Neon has the Film Journalists Association, the Media Association, the Directors Association, the Editors Association and other film-related associations, but now there is only a crude Japan Image Functional Association as a coordinator."

“I was thinking, now that the Tokyo International Film Festival has such a great influence, can we first use the preparations for the Tokyo International Film Festival as an excuse to establish a Tokyo Film Festival Association?

Then we can incorporate other industry associations into it and form a real film industry association."

“Strengthen our voice in the film industry”

"."

Idou Shuichi looked at Yoshimura Otomo and felt that his good friend seemed to have suddenly become ambitious.

"Otomo-san, why did you suddenly have this idea?"

"."

Recalling the time at the opening ceremony, he had to toast and apologize to Kiba Sadanaga because it was not his fault, but he got no response. At that time, it was Nagayama Naoki who stopped him from drinking three glasses in a row.

Previously, Yoshimura Otomo was proud of being known as a socialite and being able to interact with the bigwigs of various companies in the film industry with ease.

In the face of real power, the illusion of being able to boss around competitors was shattered, which made Yoshimura Otomo, who had just stood up after middle age, recall the days when he had to kowtow before he met Naoki Nagayama.

Since that day, Yoshimura Otomo felt that he was just a clown seeking attention!

It's a bit embarrassing!!!

Therefore, he has now made up his mind to become a truly influential person in Neon!

He also knew that he was too old and did not have a family tradition, so it was impossible for him to go into politics; and he was not a filmmaker, so he could not achieve fame in the film industry.

However, he is the controlling CEO of Shuyou. The strength of Shuyou is his strength!

So I asked Shuichi Idou to start from planning the film industry association!

"Naoki-san is too lazy and doesn't want to get involved in these organizations, so I can only ask Shuichi-san for help." Yoshimura Otomo said, "In order for Naoki-san to make further progress, please form the Tokyo Film Association!"

"."

Listening to his old friend's advice, Shuichi Idou was actually somewhat tempted.

After all, he is also clear about his directing ability, which is almost the upper limit at present. In fact, he only needs to supervise the animation business himself, and the real operation is done by talented juniors.

Will I simply become a senior executive of Shuyou in the future?

If I become the first president of the Tokyo Film Association, I will be able to hold my head up high among my mentors and classmates for the rest of my life!

Who knows. Maybe we can even go a step further!

"Otomo-san, I'm going to talk to my instructor."

The establishment of the Tokyo Film Association naturally requires the support of Tokyo University of the Arts and other academic filmmakers!

"Then you have to go and persuade Naoki-san as well. Although he doesn't want to get involved in such troublesome things, it's always okay to support his friends!"

"With Naoki-san's current status and influence, if he expresses his opinion, it will be a huge help!"

"Hey, I'll talk to Naoki-san!"
