Chapter 1365: Naoki-san, he is hooking the audience!!
Inside the detached Western-style villa in Minato Ward, the filming of *Full House* was proceeding in full swing.
The entire crew was putting in their best effort, aiming to finish the first three episodes by the end of the month for Fuji TV, and then begin the schedule of filming while broadcasting.
Kijima Shizuo, who usually had a low presence, had to raise his voice so that his words could be remembered by the crew; after a long time, even his throat was dry and hoarse!
The male lead, Fukuyama Masaharu, and the female lead, Okada Yukiko, were naturally also quite exhausted...
Only when they finally reached a break could they rest a little and chat.
"The media are all saying the preview effect of *Jurassic Park* is very good, but there just isn't any detailed reporting..." "Interviewing the audience, they all say it's very great, very shocking..." "Yeah, yeah..."
What everyone was chatting about was naturally the recently explosive topic: the preview of *Jurassic Park*.
Kijima Shizuo listened to everyone's discussion, his heart full of emotion:
"It's fortunate that the opening ceremony was publicized in advance... I just said that according to Naoki-san's nature, this month, the entertainment industry would definitely be full of topics about *Jurassic Park*!!"
Thinking of this, Kijima Shizuo couldn't help but give a thumbs up to his own wisdom from before, happily taking a big gulp of water!
And at this moment, Okada Yukiko looked at Kijima Shizuo, her eyes revealing a curious gaze:
"Director Kijima, aren't you an insider at Tree Friend? Do you know the specific situation of this movie?"
"The media side doesn't seem to have any relevant reports!"
"That's for sure..."
Kijima Shizuo didn't show any humility at all,
"I am a member of the editing team, and I participated in most of the editing... If it weren't for filming *Full House*, perhaps I would have participated until the final film!"
"Oh?! Director Kijima is so amazing..."
Fukuyama Masaharu also curiously followed up,
"Then what exactly are the brilliant parts of this movie that weren't in the trailer? The audience all seems to be keeping it a secret!"
"There's a lot! But this time Naoki-san's promotional method has changed... This is hooking the audience!!"
At this time, Kijima Shizuo's words in the rest area had already attracted quite a few crew members, and everyone had more or less turned their attention here.
And Kijima Shizuo also felt this feeling of being watched, and his interest in bragging grew even stronger!
"You have to know, most of the dinosaur action shots in this movie were made with special effects!"
As if he were a storyteller in a teahouse, Kijima Shizuo talked eloquently,
"Using the latest computer special effects programs, they were made shot by shot!"
"The dinosaurs' movements, combined with the running postures of ostriches and other animals, were synthesized!"
"Even the roars and footsteps were fused together from various sounds!"
"Do you know... the footsteps of the Tyrannosaurus Rex were actually mainly the sound of wooden stakes hitting the ground..."
"......"
Sure enough, talking about the stories behind *Jurassic Park* immediately attracted the rest of the crew... Everyone surrounded Kijima Shizuo's seat, and they didn't even notice the arrival of someone.
"If you put it that way, the protagonist being chased by the Tyrannosaurus Rex in the trailer is actually fake?!"
Okada Yukiko covered her mouth in surprise,
"When I watched it, I thought there really were Velociraptors!"
"Hahaha, that's naturally fake... Actually, it was an actor wearing a suit... The size of a Velociraptor can just fit a thin and small person..."
"Ah? Then what about the Tyrannosaurus Rex?"
"The Tyrannosaurus Rex is a model! A model as tall as two or three stories!"
Kijima Shizuo sighed,
"Operating it inside is very complicated... but it can indeed move!"
"Is it actually like that? You can't tell at all in the trailer!" "It's actually fake?" "That part with the Tyrannosaurus Rex scared my child!" "....."
While the listeners were discussing, Kijima Shizuo hadn't stopped yet:
"In the whole film, there are even more dinosaur shots that use models, of course, they are adjusted with special effects..."
"In short, the average person absolutely cannot tell the difference!"
"......"
Just when he was about to continue, Kijima Shizuo suddenly saw a very familiar face standing in the crowd... That was Nagayama Naoki!!! He was smiling and looking at himself!!!
The moment his eyes met Nagayama Naoki's, Kijima Shizuo felt as if the whole world was like some kind of time-stopped action movie, completely stagnant...
"How could it be Naoki-san?" "How could he come over?"
"Am I not working hard by bragging like this?" "Wasn't the inside story of the editing supposed to be kept secret?!"
"How much did Naoki-san hear?" "Did I just say anything bad about Naoki-san?"
"How should I save my image in Naoki-san's heart now?"
"......"
And in the next ten-thousandth of a second, Kijima Shizuo recalled his whole life like a flash in his mind, and then suddenly a flash of inspiration came, and he thought of a good way to fool his way through this matter!
"More importantly!"
Kijima Shizuo's tone changed,
"The scenes in the actual movie are very thrilling and exciting; just listening to me, you can probably only experience one percent... Only in the cinema can you truly experience the shock of the movie!
So I suggest everyone go to the cinema to watch it! You can also call your friends and family!
Believe me, this movie is very worth watching in the cinema!"
"......"
Although the last few words were a bit off-topic, none of the listeners had any resistance... As people under Tree Friend, they should naturally support their own company's works.
Not to mention, the movies Nagayama Naoki films are always of excellent quality!
"Alright, alright... The break is almost over... Everyone, get ready to continue filming!"
After saying this, the crowd dispersed a little, and Kijima Shizuo seemed to have just noticed Nagayama Naoki, standing up in surprise,
"Naoki-san?! When did you come over? I didn't notice at all!!!"
Others also immediately saw Nagayama Naoki and greeted him one after another...
"Naoki-san!" "How come Naoki-san is here?" "Good afternoon..." "...."
Nagayama Naoki naturally greeted them very kindly; in the Tree Friend Group, the distance between Nagayama Naoki and the employees was very close.
After dealing with everyone, he walked to Kijima Shizuo:
"Kijima-kun... did you actually change your profession to be a storyteller? Sharing secrets with everyone?!"
"This... they are all employees inside Tree Friend~"
Kijima Shizuo scratched his head and quibbled,
"During the break, I was just chatting with everyone about Naoki-san's new movie... Everyone wants to go watch it! Just waiting for the release!"
"Hehe~"
Nagayama Naoki didn't say much more,
"It's going to be released in two days, our company naturally has welfare tickets..."
"By the way, tell everyone to go watch it at the Bungeiza in Ikebukuro... The screening hall there has been renovated, and the viewing effect is better!"
The effect of the giant screen hall was very good, so other screening halls were starting to be replaced.
"Hai, I will tell everyone!"
This matter of leaking secrets passed, Kijima Shizuo nodded, and his heart also relaxed,
"Naoki-san, why did you come to the filming base today?"
"I came to see how the filming of *Full House* is going, whether it's smooth..."
After all, he was the screenwriter for this TV series... Besides, he was going abroad next, and might not have time to come over,
"I'm going to Los Angeles after *Jurassic Park* is released!"
"Oh? Attending the Oscars?!"
Kijima Shizuo's eyes lit up; the Oscars were a grand event in the global film industry,
"Naoki-san, is the probability of winning this time high?!"
"...... How can that be said for sure..."
Nagayama Naoki shook his head; yesterday evening he had received an international call from Yin Tangxiuyi, and besides talking about the fact that Zhongjing Yuantai was about to sign a non-prosecution agreement, he also emphasized the difficulties encountered in lobbying for the Oscar awards.
Although the effect of throwing money was good, in the current Western entertainment industry, Eastern power was still too weak!
The eight co-producers behind *The Last Emperor* still had great influence!
So he had to go over to sit in command of the sprint action for *Departures*...
In addition, he also wanted to bring *Jurassic Park* over as one of the movies screened during the Oscars, hoping to attract the attention of European and American distribution companies and enter the overseas market!
"In short, I have to go over in advance to see the specific situation of the Oscars!"
Nagayama Naoki continued,
"So before that, I'll confirm the filming situation of the TV series first... I estimate that when your first three episodes are filmed and sent to Fuji, I will already be in Los Angeles!"
"So that's how it is!"
Kijima Shizuo immediately patted his chest to guarantee,
"Naoki-san, the filming of *Full House* is going smoothly... Now, whether it's the actors or the staff in the crew, they have all been broken in!"
Then he immediately led Nagayama Naoki to the set.
Talking is not as good as doing; he was prepared to let Nagayama Naoki see the specific filming progress directly!
"Crew... are you ready?!"
"Hai!"
"Actors?"
"Ready!"
"Good... prepare..."
After explaining the shots to be filmed next, Kijima Shizuo held a megaphone and shouted loudly,
"Action!"
Today they were filming the scene where the male lead, Fukuyama Masaharu, hires the female lead, Okada Yukiko, to be his wife for a fake marriage.
According to the plot, it was because Fukuyama Masaharu and Okada Yukiko were photographed by reporters at a previous party, so the scandal spread widely, causing a huge blow to his idol career... Plus, the person the male lead had a crush on rejected him, so he had to use this fake marriage to save his image...
According to later generations' words, it was turning the scandal into reality, and then by the way, creating a happy love persona!
Turning a bad thing into a good thing to earn exposure and attention... Just divorce quietly in a few years~
In this era, marriage is very sacred, so the average person wouldn't think that someone would use this idea!
"We..."
Wetting his hair and pretending to have just finished a bath, Fukuyama Masaharu said to Okada Yukiko with an indifferent face,
"Let's get married!"
Okada Yukiko didn't react for a moment upon hearing this, standing there blankly.
Immediately after, Fukuyama Masaharu said again:
"I'm hiring you to be my wife!"
Okada Yukiko then reacted... refusing repeatedly:
"Are you crazy? Why would I marry you!"
"Do you have some kind of misunderstanding!"
"I don't like you, eh!"
"I really hate you!"
"......"
Fukuyama Masaharu retorted sarcastically:
"I don't like noisy and sloppy women either!"
His eyes also looked Okada Yukiko up and down, clearly implying something.
Okada Yukiko got angry...
"......"
"Cut!!!"
Filming reached this point, Kijima Shizuo hurriedly shouted cut and began to give his guidance:
"Fukuyama-kun, be more obvious with your disdain when you speak..."
"And then Yukiko-chan... the blank expression at the beginning is good... but the anger afterward needs to be more obvious!"
After speaking, he looked at Nagayama Naoki,
"Naoki-san, what do you think?"
"Hmm..."
At this time, Nagayama Naoki was calling up the clips in his mind and comparing them with the current one...
Speaking of which, Song Hye-kyo back then was indeed tender enough to drip water, with exquisite and beautiful features... But in terms of acting, the acting of Korean idol drama actors is actually average; they just widen their eyes when angry and open their mouths wide when speaking...
It was just Song Hye-kyo's liveliness when she was young that covered this up...
"Yukiko-chan's performance can be strengthened a bit..."
Because Fukuyama Masaharu had already filmed a movie, his acting was relatively mature, and Nagayama Naoki didn't have much to say.
He looked at Okada Yukiko:
"When you heard 'marriage' just now, you were indeed very blank... But a young girl suddenly being asked to get married, should feel some panic and nervousness afterward..."
"Not to mention the object is a big star and a big handsome guy... The expression and eyes need to show it..."
"Afterward, when you retort, the tone needs to speed up, one sentence faster than the other... The volume also needs to be raised a bit..."
"....."
For an actor like Okada Yukiko who had just transitioned from an idol, Nagayama Naoki spoke very specifically, from psychology to lines, simply breaking down the performance in detail.
Okada Yukiko also immediately understood:
"Hai, I will adjust it well!"
"Hmm..."
Nagayama Naoki turned his head to look at Kijima Shizuo,
"Nothing else, Kijima, you continue..."
"....."
At this time, Kijima Shizuo was full of admiration; just from that short segment, he knew where the gap between him and Nagayama Naoki was!
Nagayama Naoki was simply like he had already conceived the final film in his mind, and then corrected the actors according to the standard... while he still needed to adjust bit by bit with the actors...
Sure enough, it was like a mayfly looking at the blue sky!
"Good... according to Naoki-san's opinion."
Kijima Shizuo said to the crew with a megaphone,
"Let's do it again!"
"Ready... Action!!"
This time, Okada Yukiko's expression and eyes were much richer, from the initial confusion to the helplessness afterward, and then to the nervousness, the performance had much more layers!
It completely embodied the look of a young girl being suddenly proposed to...
Fukuyama Masaharu, who was acting opposite her, also connected well, completely expressing the playboy's indifference to marriage and his disdain for the female lead!
Watching Okada Yukiko's more delicate performance this time, Nagayama Naoki was also satisfied...
This child has potential!
After this shot, there was another shot; the following process was the serious filming of a plot...
The entire crew was seriously doing their own work, and Nagayama Naoki also occasionally offered some of his own opinions, making the filming proceed more smoothly.
By the time they rested again, more than two hours had passed, and Nagayama Naoki looked at the darkening sky, preparing to go back.
However, before leaving, he still had to give some instructions:
"Kijima-kun... your directing level is completely fine!"
"Now the relationship between us and Fuji TV is closer, so after the first three episodes are edited, they won't have too many opinions..."
"After that, the release of *Full House* will be left to you!"
"Hai!!!"
"Ganbatte!"
"Hmm!" ===== CHAPTER 1366 =====
