Chapter 26: I will never play this kind of play again!

"Scandal? Me and Kanako-san?"

When shooting on Monday afternoon, Kanako Higuchi and assistant Marin Koyanagi informed Naoki Nagayama.

"Hai, notified the public relations department of the office. The specific article is estimated to be seen on Friday." Marin Koyanagi said.

"I didn't expect that I just came out to play once, and I could be photographed. Should I say that the paparazzi are really amazing!" Naoki Nagayama didn't feel like being photographed at all.

"Sa, what does the office plan to do?"

"The office does not intend to stop it. These small scandals are a good thing for Kanako-san's career. However, Nagayama-san may be affected, because Nagayama-san has already been on TV and can be considered a person in the entertainment industry, so the photo will not be mosaicked."

"Is that so~ I didn't expect that I would be considered an artist." Japan's privacy protection for ordinary people is very serious. If the magazine exposes the appearance of non-public figures, it is likely to pay a large amount of money.

"Troubled Nagayama-san." Kanako Higuchi was very sorry.

"It doesn't matter. In fact, from the beginning of shooting the commercial, I was prepared for this." Naoki Nagayama waved his hand.

Shuichi Ido also said after knowing: "Actually, it's not bad. If the time is tight, the commercial can be shot this week, and this scandal happens to be a warm-up."

"Haha, that's right. Ido-san, let's shoot quickly, just in time for this wave of free promotion." A few words eased the atmosphere on the scene, and the crew began to shoot the daily life of love and marriage and childbirth in the second scene.

This time it is a location shoot. Taking advantage of the good weather, Otomo Yoshimura helped contact a street with few people and an empty house, and then Naoki Nagayama and Kanako Higuchi's love shopping and fighting, the happy daily life after marriage, and the cherry blossom-flavored soda that appeared in life witnessed all this. Finally, this scene was shot very smoothly.

The curtain of the third scene is at night, the heroine goes out and encounters a car accident...

After nightfall, everything is still a peaceful and happy life, but because the drink is insufficient, the heroine prepares to go out to buy some, but unfortunately encounters a car accident after going out, and the hero is heartbroken holding the heroine's body...

"Nagayama-san, the expression should be more lost and more helpless."

"Nagayama-san, sadness should be mixed with some hesitation."

"Nagayama-san, in the midst of grief, first of all, there should be a little anger."

Naoki Nagayama swore that he would never play this kind of play again!

Shuichi Ido's excellence was vividly displayed in this scene. A total of more than 30 takes were shot, and Kanako Higuchi, who was lying on the ground, felt like she was going to sleep.

"Nagayama-san, the parts shot before are in line with your age's mentality, whether it is love or happiness, but the sadness and regret after that must be polished one by one." Shuichi Ido had confidence in Naoki Nagayama,

"Nagayama-san is actually doing well. I was ready to NG more than 50 times."

Naoki Nagayama broke out in a cold sweat: "50 times? Spare me..."

"Next, there is a scene of the hero's solo walk, and some flashback scenes of the heroine.

Nagayama-san, don't shave or cut your hair from today on. It's best not to sleep for a few days or sleep less. On Wednesday, you have to show a haggard feeling."

"Hai..."

"As for the heroine, it will also be shot the day after tomorrow. We have to wait for Nagayama-san's haggard feeling. Shoot in the room in the morning, shoot Nagayama-san in the afternoon, and then go back to the studio at night to shoot the last scene."

Kanako Higuchi nodded and agreed: "I understand."

"In addition, the background music should also cheer up."

Speaking of this, Naoki Nagayama told: "Hai, regarding this, I have already asked Otomo-san to contact a suitable singer."

"Oh, have you found it? Which singer is it?" Shuichi Ido was a little curious.

"It is Yoshie Kashiwabara who debuted last year. I feel that her voice has a little magnetic sadness in sweetness, which is a very suitable voice line."

"Yoshie Kashiwabara? Sumimasen, I haven't heard of it."

Otomo Yoshimura talked on the side: "After all, it's a newcomer. I'm going to the recording studio tomorrow."

"Ah, Otomo-san, when did you come?!"

"When you were torturing Nagayama-san... I came to pick him back."

Otomo Yoshimura almost became Naoki Nagayama's exclusive manager.

It was 2 o'clock in the morning when he returned home. The next day, Otomo Yoshimura knocked on the door early in the morning and took him to the recording studio.

"How does Otomo-san maintain such a good state?"

Looking at the Mediterranean uncle with good spirits, Naoki Nagayama, who was seriously lacking sleep, asked.

"Nothing special. I didn't sleep yesterday. I went directly to Roppongi to play until morning. I took a shower when I got home and came to pick up Nagayama-san."

"Ah? Don't you need to sleep?"

"After sending Nagayama-san over, I will go home to make up for sleep. I won't pick up Nagayama-san back today."

"Hai, you've worked hard, Otomo-san!"

The agreed recording studio is in Bunkyo Ward, which is not far away. When Nagayama arrived, a manager had already arrived with Yoshie Kashiwabara.

"Sorry, we are late. I am Otomo Yoshimura who contacted before. This is Naoki Nagayama, the creator and record producer of this song." Otomo Yoshimura introduced first, directly establishing Naoki Nagayama's authority.

The creator and producer of the record are the same person, which can be said to have absolute power over the production of the record.

"Nice to meet you, I am Naoki Nagayama, nice to meet you." He took the conversation.

"Nice to meet you, I am Yoshie Kashiwabara, please take care of me." "Nice to meet you, I am Yoshie Kashiwabara's manager Daigo Nagashima."

Yoshie Kashiwabara debuted not long ago, only 17 years old, and only released one record, which did not cause any splash. She is still very green now.

"Kashiwabara-san, don't be restrained. Do you know the lyrics of this song, and have you listened to the trial tape?"

"Hai, I have listened to it. I have tried singing it in private."

"Then it should be no problem. This is a love song, just sing it sweetly."

"However, I heard before that it should be slightly sad?" Yoshie Kashiwabara asked a little puzzled, looking at the "producer" in front of her who was unkempt and full of dark circles, instinctively a little afraid.

Naoki Nagayama directly explained: "It is not to forcibly express sadness, but the sadness that comes with the lyrics themselves and Kashiwabara-san's voice line. No special expression is needed."

"Hai, I'll try." Yoshie Kashiwabara walked into the singing room.

Naoki Nagayama signaled the staff in the recording studio to start playing the accompaniment. Of course, the accompaniment had already been played by the band and had been tracked separately.

Next is the iconic

"sakurasakuraaitaiyoiyadakiminiimasuguaitaiyo"

After the first time, Naoki Nagayama found that Yoshie Kashiwabara's singing method of imitating male voices, and she still deliberately expressed sad emotions.

Sure enough, the first time didn't work.

"Kashiwabara-san, it seems that you are too deeply influenced by the trial tape. Come again according to your own singing method."

"Hai..."

"This time, some places also unconsciously lowered the voice, expressing sadness... don't express it specially... please come again..."

"Hai"

"Why is it lighter this time?"

"Sumimasen..."

Naoki Nagayama's tone was similar to Shuichi Ido's yesterday.

Looking at the green Yoshie Kashiwabara in the singing room, she seemed to be crying.

"Kashiwabara-san is still too nervous. Am I that scary?" Naoki Nagayama was thinking about how to guide, and he asked Daigo Nagashima, the manager on the side, "Does Kashiwabara-san have any way to relax?"

Daigo Nagashima said: "Reading or singing is generally fine to relax. But it probably won't work here."

"Why?" Naoki Nagayama was a little puzzled.

"Because Nagayama-kun is too serious!"

"Ah?"

"Didn't Nagayama-kun find out? Since arriving at the recording studio, the expression has been as serious as going to kill someone... The eyebrows have not been stretched even once." Daigo Nagashima described the Naoki Nagayama in his eyes.

I just didn't sleep well, and my face is a bit numb... ===== CHAPTER 27 =====
