Chapter 1298: The closing ceremony must be held in a big way!!

As the temperature continued to drop, the maple trees in Tokyo city gradually changed from their original yellow-green to red. Momijigari has officially begun!

"Naoki-san... should we go to Hongyu Yuan to live for a while?"

Before Naoki Nagayama left home, Akina asked,

"It should be the best-looking time of the year over there."

"Ah... that's right~"

Kyoto's Hongyu Yuan, with its carefully arranged courtyard and golden-red atmospheric characteristic halls, has already gained some fame near Rurikoin.

Some tourists chasing red leaves even passed by and took a look from afar, thinking this was some new attraction and wanting to go in to visit~

But they only sighed and left after hearing that this was a private courtyard!

"Speaking of which... Hua-chan shouldn't have any impression of Hongyu Yuan, right?"

Seeing Xia Hua, who came over to send her father out, Naoki Nagayama squatted down and asked,

"Hua-chan, do you want to go out and play in a few days?"

Xia Hua can now understand most of the words, especially the word "play," which made the little one excited:

"Want!"

"Haha~"

Naoki Nagayama laughed, pinched his daughter's face,

"Since Hua-chan says she wants to go, let's go over!"

Hearing that the car to pick up her husband had arrived, Akina handed over the bag with the satellite phone:

"Then I will call the hosting company first..."

"Hmm, I will also tell the captain on the plane today, let him contact the airport in Kyoto... Anyway, Kyoto is closer to Jurassic Island, maybe we can come back earlier at night..."

"Good..."

After Naoki Nagayama's car disappeared from sight, Akina put down her hand, and then whispered to Xia Hua:

"Hua-chan, the day after tomorrow is Papa's birthday. Come and prepare a birthday gift with Mom, okay?"

"Good~"

The little one still answered full of energy, although she didn't understand what a birthday gift was yet.

Akina, sitting on the sofa in the living room, remembered the scenes of Naoki Nagayama celebrating her birthday several times, and decided that this time she must design it well and give her husband a good birthday!

"If it's Hongyu Yuan, it can be arranged in advance!"

Naoki Nagayama, who flew to Jurassic Island again, still greeted everyone in the crew with a smile.

Tian Zhongyuzi also revealed a smile after seeing Naoki Nagayama:

"Really envy Naoki-san... flying to work every day..."

"Haha, Yuko-san can also, let you hitch a ride!"

"That's better not~"

Tian Zhongyuzi immediately refused. Naoki Nagayama is the director, as well as the producer and screenwriter, and has the final say on the set... He takes his private jet to work, and others will only envy him, and it will not affect his prestige at all.

If it were Tian Zhongyuzi, after a few times, all the back-channel complaints like "acting like a big shot," "not fitting in," "related party," etc., would all come out... Naoki Nagayama doesn't care, but she needs to care.

And if it was revealed to the media, maybe her reputation would get even worse. You know, she already bears the label of a homewrecker!

"The resort hotel here is still very comfortable, and it's very close to the set..."

"Haha, that's what you gave up yourself~"

Naoki Nagayama didn't persuade much, and then took the filming schedule from Xiaosen Zhengxiao, who walked up,

"Ah... the first scene today, actually filming the scene of hiding from the Velociraptors~"

"Yes."

Xiaosen Zhengxiao said, then pointed to a dead tree on the set,

"Run from afar, then hide under this dead tree to avoid the dragon group..."

"However, because the Velociraptors are made with post-production special effects, we are temporarily using extras to replace them..."

Then Naoki Nagayama saw the extras in the corner of the set, who were practicing the running posture of the Velociraptors... They were practicing tucking their hands into their elbows, then leaning their necks forward, and running using only their feet...

Seeing this appearance, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help laughing:

"Why why why... you are Velociraptors, not old hens!!"

It's really this appearance, if you add the clucking sound, it's especially like an old hen flying and running...

"......"

When not filming, Naoki Nagayama is very approachable in the crew, and the extras also laughed, joking with each other.

"Can't help it... Naoki-san, we don't know how Velociraptors run..." "Zhengxiao-kun showed us the running posture of an ostrich, so we learned it like this..." "Hard to keep balance..." "....."

Xiaosen Zhengxiao also explained with a smile:

"Can't help it, Naoki-san, isn't it said that the Velociraptor's running posture is designed using an ostrich's..."

"Ostriches and chickens are both poultry, so it's understandable that they are a bit similar~"

Now no scientist can perfectly reproduce the movements of the Velociraptor, so naturally, it has to rely on post-production synthesis... And the appearance of the Velociraptor with long legs, long neck, and small claws is indeed similar to an ostrich, so the material for the movement posture comes from ostriches.

"Hahaha, that can only be the case~"

Naoki Nagayama said with a smile,

"However, when you run, your hands are tucked in, don't fall down!"

"Hai~~" "We will be careful!" "So practicing..." "...."

The extras replied happily, and the atmosphere of the crew felt very harmonious.

Male lead Harrison Ford walked over; he had already changed into the clothes for filming, and the whole person looked like a genuine explorer:

"Director Nagayama... can such running material really be synthesized with special effects later?"

"Mr. Ford, you have no concept of the development of technology!"

Naoki Nagayama was full of confidence,

"Today's advanced computers can synthesize different materials into a special effects scene, and then directly replace them on the characters!"

Actually, the ancestor of Photoshop software, BarneyscanXP, has already been written. In a few years, one of the four major evil arts in Asia, PS, is about to be commercialized!

"Really?"

Harrison Ford still didn't believe it, because most monster movies in Hollywood today are still stop-motion movies.

That is, to pose the monster model, take a photo for each frame, then move it slightly and take another photo... just like drawing animation, taking photos one by one, and finally forming a video.

Early "King Kong" and others were all filmed like this~

"Harrison, embrace technology!" Naoki Nagayama patted the big man on the shoulder, "In the future of Hollywood, computer special effects will become the mainstream!"

"At that time, you only need to be in a room to film all the outdoor shots!"

"...... Director Nagayama, I haven't read many books, don't lie to me......"

"Hahaha, has Harrison also seen Bruce Lee?"

"No... I really haven't read many books..."

"......"

The two chatted while coming to the director's area of the crew. After confirming that the crew members were almost ready, Naoki Nagayama was ready to officially start today's filming.

"However, first... everyone, let's rehearse!"

Naoki Nagayama picked up the megaphone,

"Everyone pay attention, before official filming, let's practice first... later when running to the dead tree, the leads hide under the dead tree and cover their heads to hide... the extras playing Velociraptors continue to charge..."

So on the set, the extras and the leads were all ready, as if they were about to run 800 meters.

"Everyone in position, ready... Action!"

Still using Action as the slogan, all the actors began to flee wildly...

Harrison, Tian Zhongyuzi, and other leads were okay, but the extras' running was really strange.

After all, running with hands tucked under elbows is already very difficult. Several fell down when crossing the dead tree... Fortunately, it was soft soil underneath~

"Hahaha, it's really difficult..." "Didn't chase people when practicing before..." "No obstacles either..."

After the practice ended, the well-trained extras soon began to find reasons. This is the benefit of skilled workers!

And when Naoki Nagayama was filming on Jurassic Island, the entertainment industry in Tokyo was running at high speed.

"The closing ceremony of the Tokyo International Film Festival is finally coming!"

At the headquarters of the Tokyo Film Association, Yin Tangxiuyi held a work meeting again,

"Due to the stock market crash, we had to delay the time of the closing ceremony. However, after such a long time, the waves in the stock markets of various countries have subsided..."

"Although there have been many losses in the stock market, now Japan, and even the whole world, needs an opportunity to cheer up again!"

In front of all the executive committee members, Yin Tangxiuyi appeared full of confidence,

"This closing ceremony, we must hold it in a big way, hold it with great momentum, and even make the entire entertainment industry boil... We must show Japan's vitality in front of the whole world!"

"......."

Others were a bit surprised, such as Zhou Fang Ikuo,

"Does Xiuyi-san mean... additional investment?"

"Yes!"

Yin Tangxiuyi nodded,

"We are going to set the venue for the closing ceremony at the Tokyo Imperial Hotel!"

"We are going to hold the most luxurious banquet and provide high-end drinks!"

"We are going to invite the world's top bands to perform!"

"We are going to invite world-famous stars!"

"......"

The executive committee members looked at each other, all stunned:

"Xiuyi-san, this will cost a lot of money, right?!"

"This... isn't it too exaggerated!"

Although the Tokyo International Film Festival has the significance of promoting Japan and encouraging the development of the film industry, the most important thing is to be able to make money!

The parties of the executive committee also joined in initially to be able to make money!

Actually, Yin Tangxiuyi also knew that such extravagance and waste were not good, but Naoki Nagayama called him before... He said he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to promote in front of the whole world, highlight the status of the Shuyou Group in Japan, and enhance international influence.

Because now Nakai Genta of Shuyou Capital is trapped in New York... We need to do something here to help him.

And international events like the Tokyo International Film Festival, where large media and newspapers in the United States will conduct interviews, are undoubtedly a good place to exert public opinion pressure... Naoki-san gave him a task to spread the news of "US controlling Japanese capital" at the Tokyo Film Festival...

"I know it's a bit extravagant."

Yin Tangxiuyi nodded in agreement with the opinions of others, but still insisted on his own ideas,

"However, this is also an opportunity. Countries are in a downturn, and the public needs an exciting piece of news..."

"In order to let the public get out of this downturn, the whole world will compete to report on this grand event... This is also a great opportunity for the influence of the Tokyo International Film Festival to expand towards the Western world!"

"So the increased budget this time will come from the profits of the 'Shuyou Support Fund'!"

Since the Shuyou Support Fund is also managed by Shuyou Capital, with funds of about 5 billion yen, it had no losses in this stock market crash, but instead made a big profit against the trend... It can be said to be very wealthy!

"That's it..." "Shuyou Support Fund..." "Then there's no problem!" "...."

The committee members present all breathed a sigh of relief. Since they don't need to pay, of course, they want to be as extravagant as they want.

Yin Tangxiuyi saw that everyone agreed, and said to the new representative of the Ministry of Education, Hirano Masatoshi:

"Hirano-san... this time, please communicate with the high-level officials of the Ministry of Education to see if they can help promote it through the publicity channels of the Ministry of Education and various countries... This is a matter that can increase Japan's international influence!"

"Hai! I will talk to the Minister of Education!"

Hirano Masatoshi had a peaceful face. He was the one who replaced Toyama Atsuko to come to the Tokyo Film Association. Due to the loss of power of the Takeshita faction, the officials of the Ministry of Education changed their attitude towards the Tokyo Film Association again...

Everyone knows that the Shuyou Group seems to have connections with the Social Democratic Party, and the Tokyo Film Association will be the territory of the Social Democratic Party in the future!

"Then thank you very much!"

Yin Tangxiuyi nodded and looked at the representatives of the TV stations,

"Minasan, Fuji TV, TBS, NTV, etc., please broadcast the closing ceremony live!"

"Hai!" XN

After the work meeting ended, Zhou Fang Ikuo and Yin Tangxiuyi chatted privately:

"Xiuyi-san, will Naoki-san attend the closing ceremony? I heard he is filming in seclusion on Jurassic Island?"

"......"

Yin Tangxiuyi made a "chi" sound. What seclusion filming, taking a private jet to work every day, he doesn't know how comfortable he is!

"Naoki-san will naturally attend! He won the grand prize this time!"

"Haha, that's right!"

As the vice president, Zhou Fang Ikuo naturally also knew the competition results, "Departures" won the grand prize,

"Then, will Yamaguchi Momoe attend too?"

"Should be..."

Regarding Yamaguchi Momoe, Yin Tangxiuyi didn't know very well either, but this was her only movie after her comeback, so she should attend.

"Many fans are waiting for Yamaguchi Momoe~"

"Yeah, after all, she belongs to the first generation of national idols..."

The two chatted about the Tokyo Film Festival for a while, and Zhou Fang Ikuo's voice became a bit smaller, chatting about other things.

"Xiuyi-san, Hamada-san recently said that the Liberal Democratic Party is very chaotic internally... It is very likely that the ruling power will be lost to the Social Democratic Party this time!"

Zhou Fang Ikuo asked,

"Shuyou's side, what is the relationship with the Social Democratic Party, exactly?"

"Our side..."

Yin Tangxiuyi thought about it, and there was no need to hide it,

"We had contact with the backbone of the Social Democratic Party on the 'Film Industry Labor Protection Act,' and that's how we had a friendship... At that time, I was the one who went to persuade the Social Democratic Party to sign together!"

"Now..."

Zhou Fang Ikuo laughed:

"Already pushed a bill together, that friendship is not shallow!"

In politics, this belongs to the same camp!

"Now the Social Democratic Party is conducting Diet member elections, didn't Shuyou provide support?"

That is, no political contributions, becoming a donor for the Social Democratic Party?

"Hmm... can't say no..."

Yin Tangxiuyi said vaguely,

"We are very optimistic about some members of the Social Democratic Party!"

They had already invested in Noda Yoshihiko... Once Noda Yoshihiko becomes a big shot in the Social Democratic Party, Shuyou will be the most important donor for the Social Democratic Party! Original shares!

"Haha, it's good that the Shuyou Group has such foresight!"

Zhou Fang Ikuo knows very well that you need a background to mix in the entertainment industry. Now it seems that although the Shuyou Group is young, its cognition is very visionary!

Looking at it this way, the Tokyo Film Association should be able to continue to grow!

"Xiuyi-san, the next Film Association president is me... then the one after next, who from Shuyou will be up? Or will it be handed back to Xiuyi-san?"

"Hmm..."

Yin Tangxiuyi shook his head,

"I don't have a plan for this for the time being..."

"Hahaha, I understand, I understand..."

Zhou Fang Ikuo thought Yin Tangxiuyi was embarrassed to admit it.

"......"

Yin Tangxiuyi was speechless; the Shuyou Group really didn't think that far!
