Tokyo Bubble Life Main Text Volume 477, First day of filming, achievement of making a little girl cry! Naoki Nagayama, who came to Kyoto again, never thought that his current state would be like this!

Wearing a mask, with a headache, sore throat, dry eyes, and a stuffy nose and runny nose, Naoki Nagayama could only take the high-speed rail and could not drive by himself.

"Naoki-san, what's wrong with you?" Xiuichi Yin Tang was shocked when he saw Naoki Nagayama. "Have you taken medicine?"

"It's just a small cold! Take what medicine?! No need!"

Naoki Nagayama, who has the hardest mouth in the whole body, resolutely refuses to admit that his healthy body, which he is proud of, was actually defeated by a small cold!

Xiuichi Yin Tang couldn't believe it: "Is this still a small cold? It's already a heavy cold, right?"

"It's a small cold! I don't even have a fever anymore! It will be cured soon!"

Logically speaking, a cold will be fine soon after the fever is gone, this is common sense, right?

Xiuichi Yin Tang didn't know what to say anymore. After all, they are all adults. Although he didn't know why Naoki Nagayama emphasized so much that this was a small cold, since the person himself said it was okay, then it must be okay!

He could still understand the atmosphere of not wanting to add trouble to others.

So he quickly changed the subject: "Naoki-san, the film set is almost ready, and the Shinto priest has also arrived. If we don't need to wait any longer, shall we start the opening prayer ceremony?"

The voice coming from the mask was very muffled: "Yes, then let's start."

The Shinto priest in Kyoto is much more professional than the Shinto priest in Tokyo, especially since this time he invited the Kamigamo Shrine, one of the seven shrines in the upper seven, also known as the Kamo Wakeikazuchi Shrine, which is one of the oldest shrines in Kyoto and a famous Shinto shrine certified by the state as particularly effective!

At least the magic tools, spell-casting team, and spell-casting techniques they brought were very bluffing. The cumbersome ceremony made Naoki Nagayama and Xiuichi Yin Tang only obediently follow the mage to bow, worship, and then offer gifts.

Only later did they slightly understand the meaning of these ceremonies. The first part is to appease the earth spirits and resolve grievances, and the second part is to announce to the gods and pray for blessings.

Eh? Wait, why resolve grievances?!

"Shinto priest-san, I learned before that the meaning of the first half of the etiquette is to appease the earth spirits and resolve grievances. Why resolve grievances?" Xiuichi Yin Tang reacted and asked when offering a red envelope to the Shinto priest.

Looking at the Shinto priest who was over sixty years old, he was a little surprised: "This is the battlefield of the 'Battle of Toba-Fushimi'! During the war to overthrow the shogunate, this place was a river of blood. I heard that this courtyard was one of the ambush battlefields."

Listening to this Shinto priest popularizing modern history, Xiuichi Yin Tang and Naoki Nagayama were both a little dumbfounded.

Until the Shinto priest satisfied his mood of being a teacher, Xiuichi Yin Tang looked at Naoki Nagayama: "Naoki-san, you never said that this is a veritable haunted house!"

"How would I know? The agent wouldn't talk about history during the war to overthrow the shogunate!" Naoki Nagayama looked at the courtyard that was still gloomy at noon, and felt goosebumps rising even more. "In short, we have already invited a Shinto priest to do the ritual, it should be fine!"

"Hmm, the Shinto priest invited is also from Kamigamo Shrine, so it will definitely be fine!!"

Xiuichi Yin Tang also forcibly nodded in agreement. After all, it is not realistic to change the location at this time, and filming a horror movie in a haunted house, is it more feeling?

"Hmm, then, let's start!" After Naoki Nagayama nodded, he immediately nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

After receiving the instructions, Masataka Komori immediately began to direct the crew on the scene. The loose members gradually became an orderly filming group after one instruction after another.

Naoki Nagayama walked to the side of the actor group. They were reciting the script. He found Yuko Tanaka, who had not greeted him before: "Yuko-san, when did you come?"

"Arrived yesterday, arrived here in the morning. Naoki-san, daijoubu?" Yuko Tanaka was wearing a work suit, looking like a capable urban beauty.

"Yes, just a cold, it will be fine soon." Naoki Nagayama had to explain again. "But I can't drink alcohol during this time~"

"Haha, Naoki-san still needs to pay attention to your body~" Yuko Tanaka smiled and exhorted.

"Yuko-san, is there anything you don't understand about this role?"

"Yes, the role of the reporter Reiko Asakawa is indeed very complicated. First, she doesn't believe in the murder videotape, then she gradually becomes suspicious, then she becomes a fearful and desperate mother, and only then does she completely believe it."

Yuko Tanaka analyzed the protagonist's psychology, and then explained how she should express such emotions, combining the plot to make suggestions in terms of clothing and makeup.

"As expected of a professional actor!" Naoki Nagayama praised sincerely.

"Naoki-san is over-praising, it's mainly because the script is well written." Yuko Tanaka said to Naoki Nagayama, "When I was studying at night, I didn't dare to go to the toilet!"

". Is it that scary?"

"Yes! I think during the filming of these days, I need my female agent to sleep with me!" Yuko Tanaka was still a little scared in her heart.

"Haha, it's okay, we have so many people, at worst we can keep the lights on all night!"

"But... I don't sleep here at night..." Yuko Tanaka whispered. "As a film set, it's too gloomy here."

Naoki Nagayama also secretly smiled: "Hehehe, I don't sleep here either!"

The two smiled like little foxes who stole food.

"Naoki-san, what are you doing? You can start filming!" Just at this moment, Xiuichi Yin Tang called out in front of the camera.

As a very large courtyard, or an old-fashioned courtyard that has been renovated, there are many scenes inside that can become completely different filming backgrounds, including the living room at home, Sadako's old home, the classmate's home, etc.

Of course, there are other scenes, and the crew needs to start looking again.

However, the first thing filmed was the scene of several high school students watching a videotape at home. Because her parents went out, Tomoko brought her friend home, saying that she had watched a videotape that was said to be cursed before...

"Tomoko, and Masami, don't be so nervous, just treat it as an ordinary friend visiting!" The director shouted the names in the movie directly.

Because they were all people who had been auditioned and were not professional actors, they still needed Xiuichi Yin Tang's training, but in this era, there were not many people who were truly professionally trained.

At this time, Naoki Nagayama was playing cat's cradle with Regarding Jia Yi behind the scenes.

God knows why this little girl likes to play games from two years ago so much. While playing, she complained to Naoki Nagayama: "Isn't it said that it's a cursed videotape? Why do people in the movie still want to watch it?"

Naoki Nagayama's voice came from the mask: "Uh, because they don't believe it?"

"If you don't believe it, just don't watch it!" Regarding Jia Yi Yin Tang said very seriously. "If the videotape is real, you will be cursed if you watch it; if it is fake, what is the difference between watching it or not?"

Naoki Nagayama thought about it again: "Maybe they believe it a little bit?"

"That's still the same reason!" Regarding Jia Yi Yin Tang shook her head disdainfully. "Wavering adults!"

"Yes, adults are probably like this~" Naoki Nagayama didn't know what to say. "It's probably just curiosity~"

"Because of temporary curiosity, but risking life! But there is no benefit."

Naoki Nagayama looked at the little girl who was talking eloquently in front of him, very surprised. How did Xiuichi Yin Tang give birth to such a clear-headed daughter?

"Regarding Jia Yi-chan, you will definitely achieve great things in the future!!"

"Ha, that's for sure!" Regarding Jia Yi Yin Tang said happily. "Naoki Ni-chan, you lost!"

"Eh?" Naoki Nagayama looked at the butterfly between the little girl's hands and sighed. "Regarding Jia Yi-chan is really amazing!"

Regarding Jia Yi Yin Tang happily wanted to do it again, but was interrupted by Xiuichi Yin Tang: "Naoki-san, hurry up and come over to see the effect of their performance! Don't play with children in the back!"

"..." Xiuichi-san, looking at Regarding Jia Yi-chan's pouting expression, it won't be good today without a pile of candy!

"I'll come and see, what's wrong?"

"Tomoko's screaming part, it's not performed well!" Xiuichi Yin Tang was a little speechless. Newcomers are newcomers! Why is it so fake when screaming...

Naoki Nagayama looked at this somewhat ashamed girl, thought for a while, and then whispered something to Xiuichi Yin Tang, and then Xiuichi Yin Tang looked at Naoki Nagayama in surprise, and let Masataka Komori prepare the props.

"Tomoko-san, please go to the kitchen to settle your emotions first, and think about how to perform later." Naoki Nagayama calmly comforted Tomoko's actor. "It's okay, it's normal."

"Yes~" After hearing Naoki Nagayama's words, Tomoko was much more stable and sat in the kitchen to settle down.

Five minutes later, Masataka Komori came back, carrying a large picture, obviously a larger version, at least 16-mo.

Xiuichi Yin Tang glanced at it, closed it immediately, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Naoki Nagayama didn't even look at it. He knew that this was one of the various horror ghost images of horror movies collected by the prop team before, used to refer to the production of Sadako's model, all of which were to the extent of breaking out in a cold sweat if you stared at them directly.

He handed this image to the least present Xu Mudao:

"Mudao-kun, wait a moment, look at my hand gesture, quietly put the picture behind Tomoko..."

"Yes!"

On the other side, Masataka Komori's look at Naoki Nagayama was a bit complicated. Naoki Nagayama, who could even think of this method, is really scary!

Naoki Nagayama continued to say to Tomoko: "Tomoko-san, please don't turn around yet, let's review the plot."

"Naoki-san, there are two meetings tomorrow that you need to attend. Go to Yan Yin in the morning to discuss the cooperation matters for 'Love Letter', and in the afternoon, go to Fuji TV to sign the cooperation framework agreement."

"Tomoko-san, take your time, first you are drinking water..." Tomoko was drinking water easily.

"Then thought of something, ready to put down the water cup..." Tomoko was ready to put down the water cup.

"At this time, turn around, as if seeing something terrible..." Tomoko turned around without any preparation, thinking in her heart how to show a terrified expression and scream later.

Then

"Ah!!!!"

After the sound of "slap" the water cup falling on the ground and breaking, it came out~

Tomoko-san, who was unprepared, turned her head and saw a particularly terrible ghost image, so it was very inevitable

Scared to tears!

Xiuichi Yin Tang hadn't had time to say cut, and Tomoko in the actor started crying on the ground, sobbing and making people feel distressed.

"Naoki-san, your pot, you go solve it!" Xiuichi Yin Tang signaled Naoki Nagayama to handle it with his eyes!

"You are the director, you go!" Naoki Nagayama fought back with his eyes!

"This is your responsibility!" Xiuichi Yin Tang threatened with his eyes!

"I have a hostage!" I don't know when, Regarding Jia Yi Yin Tang stood beside Naoki Nagayama, looking curiously at the crying actor on the set, and Naoki Nagayama was gently patting her shoulder.

"Damn it!" Xiuichi Yin Tang angrily slapped his thigh!

In the end... the pot was thrown on Masataka Komori's head!

This executive director hurriedly took Xu Mudao to apologize in a low voice, and also let Xu Mudao bow to express that he would definitely not commit it again.

After Tomoko's emotions were finally collected, Xiuichi Yin Tang praised something like "performed very well!", "hard work~", "rest well later~" and so on.

When Tomoko walked past the camera, she glared at Naoki Nagayama with red eyes...

"Ah, I was hated~" Naoki Nagayama wore a mask, his expression could not be seen, and his face seemed to have an extra layer.

Yuko Tanaka walked to the side: "Naoki-san, the style of your crew... is really peculiar~"

"Hahaha~"

Making a little girl cry on the first day of filming or something

It's really hard to say it out loud!

In the evening, Naoki Nagayama really didn't rest in the courtyard, and at the same time didn't eat with the crew, after all, he had a cold.

"Xiuichi-san, I'll go to the hotel first." Naoki Nagayama carried the luggage that hadn't been put away. "In the morning tomorrow, I might go to see the progress of the courtyard, and I will come a little late."

"Hmm, Naoki-san rest well, I feel your cold seems to be a bit heavier." Xiuichi Yin Tang advised. "Still take some medicine~"

"How can this be, if I take medicine now, won't my white blood cells and immune system not get exercise~" Naoki Nagayama insisted on this point.

When taking a taxi to the hotel in Sakyo Ward, he felt that the stuffy nose seemed to be more serious, and he was also reflecting in his heart:

"Could it be that the courtyard is really evil? Gloomy, making my sick body heavier?"

At the same time, in Sanyingyuan in Tokyo, Miss Naoki Hezi had already arrived, and her best friend Chunshui Ishii also followed.

"Hezi-chan, is it really okay? To live in your brother's house again?"

"Haha, who told him to go out and entrust Sanyingyuan to me!" Naoki Hezi took the spare key and opened the door directly, shouting, "Eitaro! Miaotaro! Your Hezi sister is here!"

Eitaro, who was originally playing on the eaves corridor, suddenly heard such a sound, and immediately tucked his tail between his legs, wanting to run but couldn't run, while Miaotaro climbed to the top of the cabinet by himself.

"Eitaro, where are you? Come out quickly!" After Hezi walked into the living room, she saw Eitaro behind the glass sliding door, ran over in three or two steps, and pinched the meat on Eitaro's face, "Eitaro, did you miss me after not seeing you for a few days?!"

"Woof" barked softly very reluctantly.

Chunshui Ishii followed into the living room, put down the small package, and walked into the courtyard.

"Ah! The cherry blossoms are blooming!!! This is autumn!"

The pink and white cherry blossoms of Sanyingyuan had bloomed from flower buds into beautiful flowers, arranged one after another on the thin branches, making the branches droop as if they couldn't bear the weight, carrying a faint gold in the evening sky, looking beautiful as if the cherry tree was wearing a gorgeous kimono made of cherry blossoms.

Under the cherry tree was a circle of green made of moss, and the emerald green color highlighted the vitality of life.

In the courtyard, snow-white dry landscape was laid flat on the ground, and among the wave-like scratches, several mountain stones were arranged into a rockery, and there were already some fallen petals on the top, lonely and beautiful.

The whole courtyard seemed to be interpreting the meaning of Zen. In the dead silence of dead things, the existence of life was cold and beautiful, but it made people miss it incomparably.

Chunshui Ishii looked at this beautiful scenery with surprise, and was incomparably moved in her heart, while Hezi on the side took a look and decided to go and pet Eitaro.

"Chunshui-chan, the cherry blossoms in this courtyard bloom twice, so they will bloom again at this time!" Hezi led the dog to the living room, and then ran into the kitchen. "Let me see, what delicious food Ni-chan prepared!"

Two people with completely different personalities actually became good friends, things in the world are really wonderful!

In the evening, after Naoki Hezi and Chunshui Ishii finished the big meal made with good ingredients in the kitchen, they ate fruit in the living room while watching TV. Eitaro was naturally pressed under their feet, becoming a dog meat foot pad.

"Ding ling ling!" The phone beside the sofa rang.

"Chunshui-chan, you answer it, you are closer~" Hezi lazily acted like a spoiled child.

"But... is this okay?" Chunshui Ishii was a little embarrassed, this was not her own home.

"It doesn't matter, am I not beside you~ If it's looking for Ni-chan, I'll go answer it."

"Okay~"

Chunshui Ishii picked up the phone and said carefully: "Moshi moshi, this is... that, the Nagayama family!"

"?" A period of silence.

In a hotel in Gunma Prefecture, Akina Nakamori had question marks on her head. How did a girl's voice appear in Naoki-san's house?

"Moshi moshi?" Chunshui Ishii asked again.

Hezi asked on the side: "Who is it?"

"I don't know, didn't speak~"

Akina Nakamori heard another voice and was even more surprised. Naoki Nagayama, this guy, actually called two girls to Sanyingyuan while I was not in Tokyo?!

And it's so late, and they haven't gone back yet!

"Cough cough, excuse me, is Naoki-san at home?" Akina Nakamori calmed her mood and asked pretending to be calm.

"Ah, Naoki-san, chotto matte." Chunshui Ishii hurriedly turned to ask Naoki Hezi, "Hezi, where did your brother go?"

"Kyoto~"

Chunshui Ishii took the microphone and said: "Ah, sumimasen, Naoki-san went to Kyoto to film a movie and is not in Tokyo for the time being."

"I see."

Akina Nakamori breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did she remember that Naoki Nagayama did say that he was going to other places today.

"Arigato, sorry for the trouble~"

"Yes, it's nothing..."

After the phone was hung up, Chunshui Ishii breathed a sigh of relief and said to Naoki Hezi:

"The phone just now, I don't know why, I felt a little guilty when answering, as if the owner of the room was asking a thief."

"Ha? Chunshui-chan, what nonsense are you talking about?" Naoki Hezi stuffed a piece of melon into her mouth. "My brother is the owner, and I am the successor in order!"

"If your brother gets married..."

"No! My brother is so dashing, he doesn't even have a formal dating object! I don't think it's hard to say whether he will get married in the future!"

When Naoki Hezi arranged her brother, she had no taboos at all...

Akina Nakamori in Gunma, after making the call, always felt a little blocked in her heart. It's a pity that Naoki-san is not at home and cannot be contacted.

But suddenly she saw the pager on the bedside cabinet, and only then did she remember that she could page him!

She hurriedly paged him, then lay on the bed, held the pager in mid-air, and muttered in her mouth: "Call back quickly, Naoki-san call back quickly~"

Naoki Nagayama in Kyoto finally arrived at the hotel to check in.

This is a vacation hotel. He booked an independent room with a courtyard. At this time, he had just finished taking a shower, but felt a bit cold all over.

"The cold is really getting more and more serious, if it doesn't work, I'll take some medicine tomorrow!"

The pager's beep sounded. Naoki Nagayama immediately knew that Akina Nakamori wanted to talk to him, so he hurriedly found the phone and dialed back according to the number.

"Moshi moshi, Naoki-san?" Akina in the microphone, her voice was low and full of expectation.

"Akina, it's me~" Naoki Nagayama replied. "I'm in Kyoto now, where is Akina?"

"I'm in Gunma..." Akina Nakamori replied subconsciously, and then thought of what happened before. "I just called Sanyingyuan, but the one who answered was not Naoki-san, which scared me."

"Is there someone in Sanyingyuan?"

Naoki Nagayama understood. It must be his sister. Did she come over right after I left? It seems she has really coveted Sanyingyuan for a long time!

"It should be Hezi asking her to take care of Eitaro."

"The voice doesn't sound like Hezi~ It seems there are two people!" Akina Nakamori said with a pout.

"Eh? Could it be that she brought Chunshui-chan over?" Naoki Nagayama was a little helpless. "Hezi, this guy, brought her friend over last time!"

"Hezi's friend?"

"Yes, a good friend she made in college. Called Chunshui Ishii..."

It seems there is no problem. Akina Nakamori was relieved. Only then did she hear that the voice in the microphone was a bit wrong: "Naoki-san, do you have a cold?"

"Ah, you heard it~" Naoki Nagayama nodded. "Caught a cold before, didn't expect it to get more and more serious..."

"Heavy cold? Have you taken medicine?"

"Not yet, I'll take it if it doesn't get better tomorrow..."

Naoki Nagayama still explained with that reason, which caused Akina Nakamori's worry. However, after repeated assurances that it would be taken if it got more serious, Akina was relieved.

"Akina, how is your schedule arranged?" Naoki Nagayama asked. When signing the contract before, it was said that at least three days of schedule were needed in October for filming.

"Well, next Tuesday to Thursday, it should be possible to free up." Akina replied. Today is Wednesday, which means there are five days left before she is free.

"Hmm, that's soon." Naoki Nagayama calculated that he had to urge Hiromu Yoshimura about the school in Otaru.

"It will take another five days to see Naoki-san..." Akina Nakamori said a little lost.

"Then there will be three days to be together~" Naoki Nagayama said. "At that time, I will go to school again in Otaru with Akina!"

"I don't want to go to school or anything~"

I remembered, Akina is a bad student, and Naoki Nagayama in this life is also...

"Anyway, it's very interesting to experience it~" Naoki Nagayama smiled and comforted. "Didn't Akina also perform back at school? That's the feeling."

"Every time I go back to my alma mater, I feel embarrassed..."

Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori chatted and chatted about things in high school, recalling the strange classmates they met in school, the happy and unhappy things they experienced, so by accident, it was late at night.

Akina occasionally glanced at the clock: "Ah, Naoki-san, it's already 12 o'clock! Naoki-san is still sick!"

"Haha, I'm fine, cough cough cough~" Unfortunately, his throat became itchy at this time, which can be said to be the C-position performance tonight.

"Naoki-san still says it's fine!"

"It's just talking too much." Naoki Nagayama comforted. "But it's this late, Akina should rest well too~"

"Hmm, Naoki-san, good night~"

"Good night~"

Due to illness, the argument of "you hang up first, I hang up first" finally didn't happen this time, otherwise it might not have been hung up until the early morning!
