Chapter 1103

Time passed slowly, and the maple leaves in Tokyo became redder and redder~

At the Ota Ward filming base, Shizhi Araki stared at the camera screen seriously, carefully controlling the lens.

This was a set on the top floor. The scene was at night, but for some reason, the lighting always made everything on the rooftop of the top floor clearly visible.

And here, the male and female leads of "Ghost" would have their final farewell.

"His obsession has been eliminated, he is going to become a Buddha!" The psychic witch played by Nana Okada said, pointing to the sacred beam of light descending from the sky, "Look, that is the light welcoming him!"

"Then where is Liwen going?" The heroine Fujiwara Qingli, played by Akina, was very reluctant....

"Takamagahara? Heaven? Heavenly Palace?" Nana Okada shook her head, "I don't know either, I haven't died before!"

"....."

And at the final moment, the ghost of Toshifumi Hirakawa, played by Naoki Nagayama, was finally able to appear in the eyes of ordinary people!

"Qingli......"

"Liwen...."

Naoki Nagayama kissed the heroine lightly, then looked at the psychic witch next to him:

"Thank you~"

"It's nothing...." Nana Okada shook her head, looking at the vague figure at the source of the light and said, "They are already waiting for you!"

Naoki Nagayama also knew it was time for the final farewell. He looked reluctantly at the heroine played by Akina Nakamori:

"Goodbye...."

"......."

As the figure slowly disappeared into the light, the last tear fell from the eye socket of the heroine played by Akina Nakamori.....

"Cut!!!"

Shizhi Araki behind the camera shouted, and then saw Naoki Nagayama walk out from behind the strong light, rubbing his eyes constantly, as if the strong light was too bright....

"Araki-kun, how was it?" Naoki Nagayama tried hard to open his eyes and looked at the director's monitor.

"I think it's perfect!" Shizhi Araki looked at the heroine Akina in the field, and then looked at Naoki Nagayama here, "This farewell is very moving!"

After Naoki Nagayama carefully watched the director's monitor, he also nodded and said:

"Indeed, the interpretation of this segment is very good! It's already okay!"

Then he stood up straight and clapped his hands to attract the attention of the crew members:

"Minasan!"

"Our 'Ghost' crew........ has wrapped up!!!"

As soon as this was said, the whole crew cheered. Everyone clapped, hugged, and some jumped and cheered, all shouting the slogans of "Wrapped up" and "Wrapped up" loudly.

The logistics team took out the prepared beer with great insight, so that everyone in the crew could drink together~

Naoki Nagayama, as the director, thanked the many actors and staff one by one, thanking everyone for their hard work during this period.

"Arigato....""Thank you all for your hard work!""Rest well after the wrap party!""....."

And everyone also interacted with the director very happily.....

In the end, Naoki Nagayama found assistant director Youcheng Qingshui:

"Qingshui-san, the location for the wrap party has been booked, right?"

"Yes, it's the newly opened izakaya near the filming base, the whole thing has been booked!"

Near the Ota Ward filming base, surrounding the movie filming, an affiliated commercial circle had already been formed.

Countless large and small restaurants, hotels, shopping malls, and convenience stores had all opened.... And as the filming base became more and more famous, the surrounding consumer brands became more and more high-end, and even designer clothing stores had branches here.

People who didn't know came here and thought it was some core commercial circle~

It's about the same as Hollywood in New York. Maybe there can be a Walk of Fame nearby in the future!

"Hmm..... booking the whole thing is about right."

Although it's a small crew, there are more than fifty people~

Leaving the matter of taking everyone to the izakaya to Youcheng Qingshui, Naoki Nagayama came to Akina, who had returned to the RV, but found that Tsuruko was also here, teasing Xia Hua.

"Akina, if we go to the wrap party later, Xia Hua doesn't need to go....." Naoki Nagayama said, "There will definitely be no shortage of smoke and alcohol in the izakaya....."

"Yes, I was just telling Mari-san, let her take the baby back to Shanying Yuan first."

Akina nodded. Mari Nonaka was not a member of the crew, but her private nanny, so it didn't matter if she went back early.

But at this time, Tsuruko said:

"Eh~~~ is Xia Hua going back? I still want to hold her for a while!"

"......"

Naoki Nagayama rolled his eyes. If the family were poor, he would let you be Dehua, taking the baby every day!

"Why don't you just hold her back to Shanying Yuan?"

"That won't do!" Tsuruko immediately put little Xia Hua back on the bed, "I still have to say goodbye to the seniors!"

Tsuruko had indeed received help from many people in the crew, especially the seniors who led her, who had earnestly taught her many knowledge and skills.

"The seniors in the crew are all talented, and they speak well...... I must thank them properly!"

Although Tsuruko was a bit tired during this period, she could be said to have friendly faces everywhere in the crew, and everyone took good care of her, and her heart was full of gratitude!

"......"

The boss's own sister came to experience life, who would dare to say a harsh word?!

You know, ordinary interns in this era who come to a fixed crew have to do miscellaneous work for a year before they can learn some skills at their discretion.

Doing script supervision like Tsuruko requires at least three years of polishing..... And being able to report the clapperboard in front of the camera requires more than five years of experience, and it requires the previous script supervisor to have problems before they can substitute!

In a small crew, every position is a radish and a pit!

Watching his noisy sister walk out of the RV, Naoki Nagayama sighed. Let this sister indulge in the illusory illusion.....

And Akina next to him laughed:

"Naoki-san is really good to Tsuruko...."

"Anyway, I won't be able to take care of her for a few years, she has already grown up~"

"By the way," Naoki Nagayama sat next to Akina and said with a smile, "We are going on vacation after the wrap, everything is packed, right?"

"Hmm, it's already packed in advance!" Akina nodded, "Are we going by RV?"

"Of course not, we are taking the Shinkansen, I have already booked a carriage!"

Just booking a carriage, Japan is a capitalist society, as long as you have money, everything can be handled for you~

"Then things....."

"Toda-san will send them over in advance....."

"Yes~"

In the clean-decorated izakaya, the crew members of "Ghost" filled the tables.

And at the kitchen counter, three chefs were busy, yakitori, chicken oil, shiitake mushrooms, thick egg rolls, oden...... Any ingredients available in the store were made one by one.

Today can be said to be an izakaya buffet. Everyone can take ready-made snacks at the counter. Of course, sake and beer are supplied without limit.

"Minasan......" Shizhi Araki had already drunk two glasses, his face a bit flushed. He stood up holding his glass, "Let's toast Naoki-san!"

"Oss!""Yes....""Good!"

Everyone raised their glasses and looked at Shizhi Araki, only to see that he no longer had his previous shrinking and twisting, and said generously:

"Thank you Naoki-san for the treat!"

"Hahaha, not at all~" Naoki Nagayama also raised his glass and said to everyone, "Cheers!"

After this drink was finished, the atmosphere in the izakaya became more lively.

Naoki Nagayama chatted with the people next to him while drinking.....

"When to edit? It is estimated that it will start in the middle of the month..... Rest well these few days, and others in the crew also need to rest."

Toshihiko Tanaka was a bit surprised,

"Then..... can it catch up with the Christmas release?"

"Of course!"

Naoki Nagayama was not empty at all. Unlike other directors, he had the original film as a reference in his mind. As long as the editing speed could keep up, he could even get it done in a week!

Shizhi Araki also said on the side:

"Naoki-san's editing speed is not ordinary! It's as if the movie has already taken shape in his mind!"

"Haha, have a drink!"

"Is Jun-san going to prepare to participate in the Red and White Song Assembly rehearsal next?" Naoki Nagayama looked curiously at this ceiling of male idols.

When talking about this, Toshihiko Tanaka sighed:

"This year, I probably won't participate in the Red and White Song Assembly....."

"Eh? Why?" Akina, who was sitting opposite, heard it and was very surprised, "Didn't Jun-jun participate in the past?"

"This time it's Shonentai...... and Johnny's promoted a new idol group....." When talking about this, Toshihiko Tahara was a bit helpless.

Unlike girl idols, boy idols usually debut as a group, and several can be brought out at once.

With Johnny's speed of one combination a year, he was already a senior among seniors....... The male idols of the same period as him had transformed, retired, and their popularity was not as good as before.

Even the other two people who formed the Tahara Trio with him, one had failed to transform and had no sound, and the other..... Toshihiko Tahara looked up at Naoki Nagayama......

Masahiko Kondo, that guy, seemed to have no business after offending Naoki Nagayama, and had been reduced to a variety show guest, spinning around in various variety shows..... This was already very miserable for the original first-line idol.

"Otokogumi?" Akina Nakamori asked next to her.

"Eh?" Toshihiko Tahara was startled, having lost his mind thinking about the old man just now.

"I mean, is Johnny's promoting Otokogumi now?"

"Ah..... Otokogumi and Shonen Ninja were launched last year." Toshihiko Tahara said, "The office wants to launch a new combination next year, called GENJI! The members have almost been decided...."

"GENJI?"

Naoki Nagayama recalled this very famous boy idol group, which would be renamed "Hikaru GENJI" in the future, and became a famous idol group in Japan and even all of Asia in the late 80s and early 90s.....

And GENJI is out, SMAP is not far away!

That guy who is called the most handsome man in Japan should also appear now, right?

Taking advantage of being slightly tipsy, Naoki Nagayama asked:

"Does Johnny's have a member named Takuya Kimura now?"

"Eh?" Toshihiko Tahara was stunned, "Haven't heard of it."

"Ha, is that so...."

"Does Naoki-san know this.... Takuya Kimura?"

"I don't know him yet...... haha, it seems like I've heard this name somewhere....." Naoki Nagayama fooled around, "Forget it, forget it, it's not important..... Come, Tahara-san, let's have another drink!"

"Then cheers!"

Toshihiko Tahara, who finished a glass of wine, quietly wrote down the name.

Anyway, being able to pass the name to Naoki Nagayama's ears must be an extraordinary person!

Naoki Nagayama had already gone to drink with others, and although Akina Nakamori couldn't drink, she also clinked glasses with others with drinks.

The atmosphere in the whole izakaya was lively and warm. In the end, everyone actually started singing, and Akina also sang a few songs..... If it were photographed by reporters, it would be a news story with a lot of gimmicks!

"'Ghost' has finished filming!"

This news spread among the media without concealment. After the reporters heard the news, they took their cameras and microphones, looking forward to the completion disclosure meeting.

However, they waited and waited, even the draft of the press release was written, but they never waited for the notice to hold a press conference.

This made the reporters a bit unconfident...... Could it be that Tree Friends didn't invite our media this time? We don't seem to have offended Tree Friends anywhere?

When the office is weak, it has to look at the face of the media, because it needs the media to help with publicity..... And when the office is strong, it is actually very simple to handle the media. You just don't notify them when there is big news.....

The media itself also needs explosive news to attract attention. Once is fine, but if they don't keep up with the hot spots of the same-level media twice, people who read the newspaper will buy other newspapers!

So the reporter decided to contact an acquaintance at Tree Friends......

At the same time, the receptionist at Tree Friends was very busy:

"Sumimasen, we don't have a schedule for holding a completion disclosure meeting for the time being."

"If there is one, we will definitely notify Yomiuri Shimbun..."

Just hung up a phone, the front desk phone rang again......

"Tokyo Tabloid? What media, never heard of it!!!"

"......"

After hanging up the strange phone call, Yukiko Suzuki sighed:

"Why did they all call the front desk..... Why didn't the publicity department notify them uniformly......"

And at this time, inside the publicity department, the newcomer Jin Ishikawa was also full of troubles. He had just been responsible for docking with media personnel and contacting media peers for a short time. Now everyone called to ask him, but how would a newcomer like him know?!

At this time, Eiichiro Watanabe walked in from outside, Jin Ishikawa breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked:

"Deputy Manager Watanabe..... Is the completion disclosure meeting for 'Ghost' going to be held or not?!"

"......" Eiichiro Watanabe was also a bit troubled, "It's in the publicity plan to hold it..... But now..... can't find Naoki-san! How can we hold a press conference if we can't find him?"

"Ah?"

"Naoki-san said he was going on vacation, and then he left.... The phone at Shanying Yuan is only answered by the butler..... saying he has already left Tokyo!"

"...... Then what should we do?"

"Wait a while....." Eiichiro Watanabe said, "Please ask Shuichi-san or Otomo-san to help contact Naoki-san when they arrive at the company..... Naoki-san has a mobile phone!"

Naoki Nagayama's big brother phone was naturally an extremely private phone. Except for relatives and people in the core circle, no one else knew the number!

After all, he didn't want people to call to harass him when he was on vacation..... Don't answer the phone on vacation! Work calls are not allowed either!

Official business that can't reach the level of Shuichi Ido and Otomo Arakawa doesn't count as important!

"Then when can Shuichi-san and the others come back....."

"Apart from the animation department, Shuichi-san seems to be talking to people about establishing the Tokyo Film Association recently..... There are drinking parties everywhere, I don't know if he will return to the company."

Eiichiro Watanabe scratched his head,

"As for Otomo-san, he went out to talk about business, he should be back....."

"Then how should I reply to those media peers now?"

"Don't you even know the delay tactic?!" Eiichiro Watanabe hit Jin Ishikawa on the head with a hand knife, "Say you will go to understand first for things you don't know..... You will notify them after getting accurate news...."

"Ah, okay!" Jin Ishikawa immediately began to reply.

Although there was no press conference yet, various media had already begun to release the news that Naoki Nagayama's masterpiece "Ghost" had finished filming.....

Movie fans began to get excited~
