Chapter 155: Gas Station Robbery Incident
In the following time, Naoki Nagayama sat in the small office,
watching the studio staff working in an orderly manner through the window.
It seems that after he was gone, it was indeed smoother...
"Tsk, as if I wanted to find work~" Muttering in his mouth, Naoki Nagayama could only flip through the magazines on the desk at will.
To say that he didn't do anything in the morning, that's not right, at least he was already quite familiar with his future partners—Shonentai.
Under the Japanese tradition of admiring the strong, he is both a senior in performance and the boss of the team, and he is so young. If it weren't for knowing each other for only one day, it wouldn't be a problem to call him "Boss".
At noon, he still sponged the studio's work bento.
By the afternoon, everyone in the studio moved all the equipment onto the van,
ready to enter the shooting site, but the director Yin Tangxiu insisted on sponging Naoki Nagayama's car.
"Xiu-san, don't you drive there?"
"No need, when coming back, the van should be empty, just sit in the car and come back."
After saying this, there was a little silence on the way to drive.
"Naoki-san, do you think our movie can be as popular as the last one?"
Oh? You, a director who has always shown confidence, actually worry in your heart?
Looking at Yin Tangxiu, who was a little uneasy, Naoki Nagayama thought about how to comfort him so that he would not hurt the feelings of this adult and could stimulate confidence.
"Xiu-san, what do you think of the script of 'Gas Station Robbery Incident'?"
Yin Tangxiu answered without hesitation: "Excellent!"
"Then, what about Kadokawa's channel promotion ability?"
"Also very strong~"
"Haha, then Xiu-san, what do you think of your directing skills?"
"That goes without saying!!"
Whether it is bluffing or self-confidence, this state is good.
"Hahaha, then the only short board is the actors, right?"
"If you say so, it is indeed. They are all young actors with no name."
Naoki Nagayama glanced at Yin Tangxiu at this time:
"Then Xiu-san, don't think about anything else, you just need to train the actors to death on the set!"
Yin Tangxiu seemed to have been opened up to the Ren and Du meridians, and his face turned rosy all of a sudden:
"Ah! That's it!"
Then he said to Naoki Nagayama: "As expected of Naoki-san, you are actually willing to take the lead! Don't worry, with Naoki-san's words, I must urge the actors to perform the movie with the highest level!"
Wait, Xiu-san, did you count me in too!
Thinking of the dozens of NGs when filming commercials before, Naoki Nagayama wanted to say something: "That, Xiu-san..."
"Nani?"
Looking at Yin Tangxiu's burning eyes, if he asked him to open a back door at this time and relax a little for himself...
Naoki Nagayama looked at the scenery passing by on both sides of the car. Now he is on the high-speed road.
It would cause a traffic accident, right~
"... Xiu-san... Ganbatte..."
"Hai!"
In less than an hour's journey, the group drove to the film set.
This gas station that is about to be transferred is not much different from the one in the script.
In front is the gas station, behind is the convenience store plus automatic car wash, and the second floor of the convenience store is the staff dormitory.
There are still many goods left in the convenience store. The shop owner, for the sake of rent, generously gave them all to the shooting team.
"Xiu-san, are the merchants willing to provide the sponsorship mentioned before?"
Naoki Nagayama looked at the incomplete drinks in the freezer and asked Yin Tangxiu.
"Of course~ They will be delivered in the afternoon."
"Then after the movie becomes a big hit, they will make a fortune~ At that time, I must ask for a red envelope~"
"Hahaha, that's for sure."
Yin Tangxiu was also familiarizing himself with the environment. His former apprentice Komori Masataka was directing the field staff to find angles and place cameras; another apprentice Inada Masami was counting materials.
"Masataka-kun is very capable, he can command alone~"
"Hai, this kid might become a director in the future, he has talent in shooting." Yin Tangxiu looked at the other apprentice. "That guy Masami might develop in other directions in the future~"
Alas... talent is really hard to say~
Fangcun Dayou had been on the second floor making phone calls, and finally came down at this time.
"Naoki-san, Xiu-san, the master who prays for blessings has already set off, and should be on the way." Looking at Naoki Nagayama, "Ms. Yuko Tanaka has also set off, and should arrive in a while."
"Master? Opening ceremony?"
"Hai, it is said to be a very effective master nearby."
The master in Japan, is it an Onmyoji? A monk? Or a Taoist priest?
Just at this time, Inada Masami came in from the convenience store door: "Director Yin Tang, the new actor has arrived~"
On the set, Yin Tangxiu requires everyone to address him by his position.
"New actor? It should be Ms. Yuko Tanaka, let's go and welcome her~" Fangcun Dayou pulled Naoki Nagayama out of the door. "The director seems to have never seen Ms. Yuko before~"
"Hai, because of Naoki-san's recommendation and previous performance records, she was hired. I really haven't seen her before~"
"She is a very experienced and good actor." Fangcun Dayou didn't spare any praise.
In front of the gas station, a red Toyota was parked in an empty space.
Yuko Tanaka, wearing a yellow wool coat, was talking to a middle-aged man in a trench coat and suit.
The red plaid scarf covered her cheeks just right, revealing only a pair of eyes that could be remembered immediately.
"Yuko-san, you are here?"
Naoki Nagayama waved and greeted from not far away, causing Yuko Tanaka and the man in black next to her to look over.
Walking a few steps to the side, Yuko Tanaka responded with a smile:
"Naoki-san, good afternoon~" Then she pointed to the man in black next to her and introduced, "This is my agent, Mr. Toshiyuki Morita."
"Nice to meet you, I am Toshiyuki Morita, an agent from Koms
sift agency, please take care of me."
The way this guy bowed and greeted seriously, it seems he is an old-fashioned man in black.
"Hai, nice to meet you, I am Naoki Nagayama, please take care of me."
Naoki Nagayama also bowed and replied. Although others reported their professional identity, his own profession seemed difficult to define, so he wouldn't report it for the time being.
Fangcun Dayou had already met before, so he just said hello simply.
"Two, let's go and see the director first, he has been looking forward to it for a long time."
"Hai!" x2
Both were here to work, so Naoki Nagayama and Yuko Tanaka didn't have too much chat for the time being.
After meeting Yin Tangxiu, it was equivalent to the whole crew being together.
Before the opening ceremony officially started, everyone gathered in the open space of the gas station, and Yin Tangxiu had a communication with the whole team.
"Everyone, today is the day our movie officially starts. After the master arrives, we will hold an opening ceremony."
"Masataka-kun will communicate with everyone about the specific situation of the shooting in advance according to the shooting schedule."
Komori Masataka next to him stood up and bowed.
"For costumes, props, and other issues, you can reflect them to this Inada Masami."
Inada Masami also stood up and signaled.
"For other things during the shooting, I will make the decision!"
Yin Tangxiu was domineering once. "If there are no other problems, everyone prepare for work!"
"Hai"...
After everyone responded, Komori Masataka pulled Naoki Nagayama and the members of Shonentai together and talked about the performance of the next scene.
The master he originally thought was a Taoist priest or a monk, but the one who came was an old woman, oh, called a shaman.
Looking at the old man wearing colorful robes, chanting unknown scriptures in front of the altar,
I don't know if this can really pray for good luck.
In short, finally the director led everyone to insert incense on the incense burner.
"Gas Station Robbery Incident" officially starts filming! ===== CHAPTER 156 =====
