Chapter 1181: How could a normal person think of committing a crime in the first place!

Anyone who has been a director knows that in order to improve efficiency during filming, the indoor scenes of the entire movie are basically completed in one or two indoor sets.

Once a set is finished, the prop team is asked to redecorate, and at the same time, the crew films next door.

*Departures* is the same. The main indoor scenes of this movie are divided into two parts: one is the protagonist's home, and the other is the different encoffining rooms of various customers...

The filmed plot will also be different, sometimes jumping very seriously, which is a great test of the actors' acting skills.

Naoki Nagayama's idea of "making the corpse more realistic" was not realized in the end. Even the veteran prop master of the prop team, Takehiko Takei, looked at Naoki Nagayama with terrified eyes after hearing his director's idea...

"Naoki-san... Insulting a corpse is a felony!"

Takehiko Takei's tone was cautious, as if he wanted to dispel Naoki Nagayama's idea.

"Besides, we have no way to get... that... corpse!"

Naoki Nagayama was full of surprise, even shock, and there was some disgust in it, vividly expressing the expression of "because I'm not perverted enough, I don't fit in with you prop masters"...

"Takei-san... I said to make the prop corpse more realistic, referring to getting some raw meat, ammonia, etc., to make it more realistic in terms of smell and visual perception..."

"How could you think of getting a real corpse?!"

"How could a normal person think of committing a crime in the first place!!"

"..."

The muscles on the face of veteran prop master Takehiko Takei twitched. Who was it that vaguely said before, "No matter the cost, I must film Tomokazu Miura's feedback when he sees a real corpse"?

Plus, you, Naoki Nagayama, specifically pulled people aside and carefully avoided the crowd to say this...

Any normal person would think so! Right?

Uh... a normal person should think so, right? Right?

I am a normal person... right?

Under the self-suggestion of syllogistic reasoning, Takehiko Takei began to deeply doubt his own psychological problems... He fell into deep self-doubt, and he even felt that he should find a psychologist to take a look...

"Ahem~"

Naoki Nagayama coughed twice and continued to explain,

"In short, I want you to make the prop corpse look a bit more like one... You have to make Tomokazu Miura think it's a real corpse when he sees it, so that there is that kind of impact...

So in terms of smell and touch, it should be about the same. It's best to get some small animals or something..."

"..."

Takehiko Takei carefully confirmed,

"The small animals Naoki-san refers to are the white and tender ones that twist around, right?"

"..."

Naoki Nagayama patted his forehead,

"Takei-san, just say fly larvae!"

"Hai..."

After instructing the prop team to prepare the surprise, Naoki Nagayama came to the set on the other side. This is the apartment where the male and female protagonists live in the city.

The room is not big, just a two-bedroom apartment. The decoration is slightly old, but the layout inside looks warm and comfortable. There are also many photos and books of the male and female protagonists. You can tell at a glance that this is a home managed with care.

It's a pity that after today's scenes are finished, it will be useless and will be dismantled and rearranged into other scenes...

Naoki Nagayama walked into the set, watching the crew members arranging the shooting positions and other preparations, and nodded with satisfaction.

The crew's cameras, lights, microphones, etc., were all basically ready. The male lead Tomokazu Miura had also changed into a home sweater, and Momoe Yamaguchi was... Eh? This outfit...

"Momoe-san... Is this your own outfit?"

"Hai." Momoe Yamaguchi nodded. "This is the loungewear I usually wear... The prop team's clothes are always a bit ill-fitting, not like what the script says, what the female lead usually wears, so I brought my own clothes.

If Naoki-san feels it's inappropriate, I will change into the one prepared by the crew..."

"Hmm..."

Naoki Nagayama looked up and down. As a former top idol, her aesthetics were definitely online. Even if she was relatively frugal after marriage, the clothes she bought were very appropriate.

"Very good... Very homey atmosphere, no need to change..."

"That's good~"

Momoe Yamaguchi nodded and continued to look at the script... Today was her first time back on camera, and she must not make any mistakes.

After Naoki Nagayama checked the crew's preparations, he gave instructions, let the male and female protagonists get ready, and started filming.

"Irrelevant personnel leave the set, enter the shooting state... Camera ready, microphone ready, clapperboard ready..."

As the assistant director, Shizhi Kijima loudly confirmed the status of each department of the crew at this time, and each call would have a corresponding response from each department.

And after the clapperboard operator called out the information on the whiteboard and clapped the board, Naoki Nagayama called out with a megaphone.

"Action!"

I saw that in the originally quiet house, the male lead was lost in thought leaning against the desk... The male lead played by Tomokazu Miura is a mediocre cellist who spent a lot of money to buy a professional cello just to join the orchestra.

However, what he didn't expect was that the orchestra disbanded today, and he suddenly lost his job...

And what's worse is that this cello was bought with a loan, and the loan hasn't been paid off yet...

What's even worse is that he also hid the amount of the loan and lied to his wife that it was a cheap one...

"Arigato..."

The sound of his wife returning came from the door, and she seemed to be talking to a neighbor. Then he saw Momoe Yamaguchi wearing a coat walk into the entrance,

"I'm home~"

"Welcome home..." Tomokazu Miura responded subconsciously.

I saw Momoe Yamaguchi smiling and holding up the bag in her hand, saying to her husband:

"Octopus... A gift from the neighbor... Just met at the door..."

While putting the octopus into the refrigerator, she chattered about daily things, completely like an ordinary couple, without any feeling of being a stranger... Ah, they are a couple in the first place~

It wasn't until she came to the desk and took off her coat that Momoe Yamaguchi noticed her husband's low mood:

"What's wrong with you? Did something happen?"

"... Disbanded..."

"What?"

"The orchestra... disbanded~"

Momoe Yamaguchi paused, with a little surprise on her face, looking at the disappointment on her husband's face, and comforted him.

"Then find the next one..."

"There is no more..." Tomokazu Miura sighed. "With my level... I can't find the next orchestra..."

"..." Momoe Yamaguchi didn't know how to comfort him for a while.

This scene seemed to have been experienced before. At that time, after getting married and retiring, Tomokazu Miura also encountered a Waterloo in his career and had no work for several consecutive years... At that time, she, who was a new wife, didn't know how to comfort her husband who was frustrated in his career...

But at that time, Momoe Yamaguchi knew there was a universal panacea—rolling in the sheets!

For a young man, there is no sadness that cannot be solved by rolling in the sheets once... If it doesn't work, roll a few more times!

"..."

However, in the movie, it naturally cannot develop like this! Otherwise, it would become filming some kind of action movie!

"It doesn't matter... Then I will support the family!"

Momoe Yamaguchi said words with great urban female spirit,

"I can do design!"

"Also... the loan..." Tomokazu Miura pointed to the cello beside him...

"It doesn't matter, it's only 1 million!"

Momoe Yamaguchi sat in front of Tomokazu Miura and said,

"It's completely fine!"

Tomokazu Miura still chose to confess... "Actually, it's 18 million..."

Momoe Yamaguchi was surprised: "? 18 million?!"

"Cellists all use this kind of professional cello, and professional ones are all at this price..." Tomokazu Miura changed the subject a bit awkwardly. "This one is still considered cheap!"

"..."

Momoe Yamaguchi was speechless... With your level, can you afford this kind of professional cello?!

Besides, can you afford the loan?! A cello is as expensive as a house!

"Why did you hide it from me?"

"I thought you would definitely oppose it..."

"Why didn't you discuss such an important matter with me..."

"... Sumimasen..."

And facing such a husband, Momoe Yamaguchi couldn't continue to be angry... She could only leave a sentence "I'm going to cook" and left the scene.

The camera slowly turned to Tomokazu Miura, rubbing his hands, grabbing his hair, rubbing his face... These small actions made the embarrassment of this actor even more obvious...

"Cut!"

Naoki Nagayama saw that it was about right, so he called cut. Tomokazu Miura and Momoe Yamaguchi, as the male and female leads, all came over to watch the director's monitor together.

"How is it, Naoki-san?"

"Hmm..."

After entering the filming, Naoki Nagayama let himself enter a focused state and did not relax his requirements because it was Momoe Yamaguchi's first time back on camera,

"Momoe-san... The performance was smooth... But there are some details to pay attention to!

In the script setting, you and the male lead are already a couple who have been married for many years."

"So you should know each other's personalities very well..."

"The male lead has low talent in music and his career is not going well, so you shouldn't be that surprised that his orchestra disbanded and he couldn't find work..."

Naoki Nagayama pointed to the expression on the screen and said. He had numerous film theories in his mind, and an eye that surpassed the era, plus his practice over the years, he already had his own unique views on filming.

Now, even if he was filming an originally brilliant movie, he wouldn't just copy it~

"More of it should be facing it calmly..."

"Then, what should surprise and anger you is that Tomokazu Miura didn't discuss it with you, and actually secretly took out a loan of 18 million to buy such an expensive cello!"

"The husband, who originally had a soft personality, at least had a quality of honesty... Now he is actually deceiving himself... This is the point of anger..."

"At this time, the tone cannot be too soft..."

"The tone of anger and the tone of complaint should be different... shorter and more powerful..."

In Japan, what is sought is the wife's infinite tolerance for her husband, which is a bit anti-human in terms of human nature... especially with the rise of feminist thought.

And in the story, the female lead is a freelancer who does design part-time, not a woman who relies entirely on her husband for a living, so she should speak with more confidence.

Economic base determines family status, which is a truth in modern times~

Momoe Yamaguchi listened to Naoki Nagayama's analysis and explanation, and felt very emotional. Sure enough, famous directors all have their own strengths. The analysis of the character's psychology is very appropriate, allowing actors to fully understand the performance and picture the director wants...

So she looked at Naoki Nagayama with more respect and admiration...

This made Tomokazu Miura, who was beside her, suddenly have an indescribable worry. In the past when filming movies, those gazes were all directed at him!

In the subsequent performance, Momoe Yamaguchi's performance was more realistic and agile, and Tomokazu Miura, because of a little worry in his heart, was also more in line with the male lead's psychology in the plot...

He was also worried that after he confessed the truth, his wife would be disappointed in him, and the relationship between the two might have problems...

"Cut!"

Naoki Nagayama's voice came from the megaphone,

"Very good, this take is much better than before!"

"Especially Tomokazu-san... The eyes fully showed the worry in the male lead's heart, better than the first performance!"

"..."

Tomokazu Miura was feeling a mix of emotions at this time...

The Ota Ward filming base is not a secret place.

And the fact that *Departures* was filming here was not hidden for long... Soon, a group of fans who wanted to sneak photos of Momoe Yamaguchi appeared at the gate of the filming base...

Although these people hung the name of Momoe Yamaguchi's fans, many of them were actually reporters or paparazzi. Although major media no longer accepted photos of Momoe Yamaguchi's home, they did not refuse photos of other places.

During the filming of the movie, it could be considered a workplace... If they could take photos of Momoe Yamaguchi, there would be no problem! The media would also accept them according to the old rules!

This is the self-adjusting correction force of the entertainment industry. After all, heat and exposure are money in the entertainment industry!

Blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents...

For the pursuit of hot news, even if Naoki Nagayama united with several major media, he could not completely stop it...

To eradicate it, unless the entertainment industry didn't exist!

However, because there was already a plan, Park Director Katsuyoshi Ishikawa had long led a group of security guards to set up security posts at the base gate to strictly check personnel entering and leaving the park.

"Stop! Security, stop him!"

A person disguised as a food delivery person from a shop was stopped. Katsuyoshi Ishikawa walked in front of him,

"Haven't seen you before... New here?"

"Yes, yes, I just started not long ago... The boss asked me to deliver the ordered drinks and snacks to the *Long Vacation* crew..."

The crew's boxed meals were big fat meat, and the internal members had long since divided them up, so naturally they wouldn't leave them to the restaurants around the base. However, drinks and snacks were not prohibited for crew members to buy themselves.

"Oh?"

The very round Katsuyoshi Ishikawa walked in front of him with a splayed gait, looked slightly in the snack box,

"Then answer me, how much is a bottle of Coke?"

"Two hundred yen..."

"What about a can of red bean soup?"

"Two hundred and fifty yen..."

"Plus a bag of rainbow beans?"

"Five hundred... no, five hundred and fifty yen!"

"Oh? Isn't there a discount? Drinks and snacks together are fifty yen cheaper?"

"... Ah, yes, there is a discount... five hundred yen!"

"Heh..."

Katsuyoshi Ishikawa shook his head: "Drive him out! Liar!"

"Chotto matte... This was really ordered by the *Long Vacation* crew... And didn't I give you a discount!"

The person disguised as a delivery person shouted,

"Where did I reveal the flaw?!"

"Hmph..." Katsuyoshi Ishikawa snorted coldly, "The shops around the park have always taken the opportunity to raise prices. How could there be a discount!"

"..."

Watching the security guards send the person outside, Katsuyoshi Ishikawa picked up the snack box and weighed it, then carried it towards the *Long Vacation* crew.

They are all members of Tree Friend, so I'll be kind and send the things over...

By the way, I can see the cute and sexy Chikako Aoyama!
