Chapter 165: Naoki-san always has some strange ideas!
After staying at home for three days,
and letting Eitaro get a little familiar with the environment, Naoki Nagayama planned to take him back to Tokyo.
It was only early February now, and it was still a long time before going abroad, so he wouldn't trouble his family for the time being.
Although this guy Nagayama Tsuruko kept saying it wasn't a trouble,
in order to avoid Eitaro being tortured by magic claws, Naoki Nagayama still took him away resolutely.
Eitaro, I can save you for a while but I can't save you for a lifetime.
You have to face the Great Demon King alone at the end of the month. You've really worked hard.
After rushing all the way from the morning, it was still morning when he returned to Tokyo.
After putting Eitaro down, he didn't even stay in Sanyingyuan much and drove directly to the studio.
Sure enough, the director was still in the editing room.
"Shuichi-san, how is the film editing going?"
Looking at the bearded director who had obviously worked overtime several times, Naoki Nagayama fully exerted the thick skin of a capitalist, asking only for results and not for the process~
"Hehe~"
The director who was watching the film turned his head away, not wanting to say another word.
I don't know who he learned this slightly mocking and perfunctory onomatopoeia from, Shuichi Ito. He really didn't learn anything good!
"Shuichi-san, hasn't it been edited yet? No way, no way!"
When it came to the skill of being sarcastic, who had Naoki Nagayama ever feared?
"Don't you usually brag about your deep directing skills and rich experience?"
Shuichi Ito couldn't hold it anymore: "Naoki Nagayama! Shut your mouth for me!"
"Hai!"
Learning to be obedient at the right time
was a skill that every person who played with words must learn.
Naoki Nagayama walked to the desk dedicated to film cutting and saw that besides a machine dedicated to editing,
the originally neatly placed videotapes were scattered on the ground, and pieces of cut film were also thrown casually under the desk, as if they were used tissues that were thrown away, not being looked at by the owner of the room at all.
Only one videotape was placed in the middle of the table like stars holding the moon.
"This must be the master tape!"
"Hmm!" A grunt came from Shuichi Ito's nose, both proud and uneasy.
Naoki Nagayama took the master tape and flipped through it: "Then let's take a look!"
As a few punks smashed the vending machine with sticks, a hilarious robbery journey began: robbing the store manager, dressing up as employees, beating up punks, improvising performances, three-way brawls...
Finally, as the taillights of Naoki Nagayama and his group disappeared, it came to an end.
Watching this film again, although he acted in it himself, Naoki Nagayama still couldn't stop laughing.
The editing effect of this "Gas Station Robbery Incident" was very good. The transitions, human voices, and connections were all very smooth, and the flashback segments were added very appropriately. One could see the effort Shuichi Ito put into it.
"Shuichi-san~ You are indeed an experienced director!" This time it was a real compliment.
Shuichi Ito on the side and Masataka Komori, who didn't know when he came in, both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since that's the case, finally make the opening and ending, and you can submit it for review!" Shuichi Ito's voice sounded much more relaxed. "Masataka, deal with these waste films on the table!"
Naoki Nagayama looked at these unused films, and suddenly an idea popped into his mind.
"Masataka-kun, are there still some NG segments in these films?"
"Hai, they are all here."
Shuichi Ito asked: "Naoki-san, do you want the NG segments as a souvenir?"
"Hahaha, no~" Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "Have you seen that comedy 'Airplane!'? There is a plot that is very interesting."
"That film suddenly had a segment after the subtitles at the end, which was very funny~"
"Naoki-san means, we should do the same?" Shuichi Ito suddenly understood. "Using the laughter during NG as a surprise at the end of the film for the audience, right! Omoshiroi!"
"Hahaha, yes, we can try it! It's best to appear with the subtitles at the end, and it can also let the audience finish watching the subtitles."
"Sure enough, it's Naoki-san! You always have some strange ideas!" Shuichi Ito couldn't help but clap his hands.
Naoki Nagayama rubbed his face. Well, I'll take it as you are praising me!
Watching the two of them dive back into the grand undertaking of editing because of his single remark, Naoki Nagayama slipped away quietly; to avoid being conscripted into labor, he didn't even mooch a bento box from the studio at noon.
Not wanting to eat outside, and not wanting to do it himself at home,
Naoki Nagayama chose to drive to a high-end restaurant not far from home to pack a lunch and take it home to eat.
While waiting, he boredly flipped through the free newspaper,
and didn't expect to find content he cared about in a newspaper called "Tokyo Sports" where everything except the date was fake—"Junko Ito who can use shadow clones!"
Otomo Yoshimura executed Naoki Nagayama's strategy very well. Before appearing on "Yoru Hit", he let Junko Ito participate in all the shows she could participate in.
Because some shows were recorded in advance and some were from different TV stations, a strange phenomenon occurred: she appeared on different TV channels at the same time in different shows.
When Junko Ito was performing her debut song on "Yoru Hit", she was playing variety games with guests on another channel...
Although "Tokyo Sports" was called fake except for the date, their circulation of over one million a day was not fake, and the reporter's ability was also real, having investigated all the causes and consequences of Junko Ito.
I don't know if Otomo Yoshimura spent money, but there was a sentence at the end of the report: "As a newcomer in the entertainment industry, Junko Ito-san's new song 'Puzzle' is also being released. I didn't expect that besides being able to use shadow clones, the song is also very good to listen to~"
Is this an advertisement? It shouldn't count, right? But it's estimated to be very effective!
Naoki Nagayama put away this newspaper and took the packed lunch back to Sanyingyuan.
In the afternoon, Otomo Yoshimura and Junko Ito were estimated to still be conducting promotional activities. I'll ask again at night~
The cherry blossoms in Sanyingyuan also bloomed. Small flowers bloomed sparsely on the branches, but many flower buds were still tightly closed together, quietly waiting for their own season.
Unlike the pink cherry blossoms in Kawazu, the cherry blossoms in Sanyingyuan were pink and white, and the stamens were also small. If the cherry blossoms in Kawazu were enthusiastic girls, then the cherry blossoms in Sanyingyuan were like shy girls.
Moving a small table to the corridor, Naoki Nagayama and Eitaro ate lunch together with this scenery.
"Eitaro, do you think we should install a few spotlights here at the cherry blossoms? Then we can see the glowing cherry blossoms at night!"
The little guy was immersed in the dog food and couldn't extricate himself, and had no reaction to the owner's words.
"Eitaro, you can't indulge in the desire for food all day long. You also have to think about these metaphysical things! This is good for your ideological improvement in the future!"
Naoki Nagayama shook his head helplessly,
picked up a lobster meat as big as a fist, dipped it in some garlic, and put it in his mouth.
Ah, so fragrant~ ===== CHAPTER 166 =====
