Chapter 476: Miss Vengeful Spirit, please don't appear!!

In the early morning of Izu Oshima, the air carried a slight salty taste of the moist sea breeze. Everything on the island had been blown for a long time, as if it had been salted and brought a deep color.

In the early autumn season, the environment of the whole island was like a photo with reduced contrast and saturation, carrying a faint gloom.

The sound of the waves accompanied people to sleep and also called people to get up in the morning.

Xiu-yi Yin came to this big island the afternoon before yesterday. From yesterday to today, he still hadn't waited for the person who should have met here!

"That... that who!" Xiu-yi Yin greeted Kijima Xu, who had returned in advance yesterday. He always couldn't remember his name.

"Hai, Xiu-san?" Kijima Xu was already used to it, and also knew that he must be looking for himself at this time.

Xiu-yi Yin's face was very unhappy: "Naoki, that guy, said you guys came over first, and then he would come over after looking at the house, right?"

"Hai! Naoki-san let us come over first, and then went to Lake Toya."

Kijima Xu answered his boss's question honestly, but still kept the instructions in mind and didn't tell about the situation of filming in Otaru.

"This guy!" Xiu-yi Yin ate the bread in the morning angrily. "Even though there is a big courtyard in Kyoto, he still wants to buy, buy, buy! Is the real estate tax not money?"

Seeing that Kijima Xu was still waiting on the side, Xiu-yi Yin felt a bit guilty for not remembering his name just now:

"Ano, sorry, still didn't remember your name. Please tell me again, I will definitely remember it!"

"Hai, my name is Kijima Xu!" Kijima Xu sighed in his heart. This was already the sixth time Xiu-san had asked his name!

"Hmm, Kijima-kun! Won't forget this time!" Xiu-yi Yin cheered up his mood. "Today we continue to film Sadako's old home!"

"Hai!"

When the *Ring* crew started a day's work, Naoki Nagayama just woke up from a hangover.

Dragging his unclear head to the restaurant, his sister Hezi and her best friend Junshui Shijing were eating.

Of course, his breakfast had also been prepared, after all, he knew it when he came back last night.

Seeing Naoki Nagayama's thin appearance hurt by wine and color, Hezi couldn't help saying:

"Nii-chan, drinking after recovering from a serious illness? Don't you want your body anymore?"

Naoki Nagayama actually agreed in his heart, but facing his sister, he naturally couldn't admit defeat: "In the adult world, social interaction is inevitable!"

"I think it's clearly that you want to drink yourself!" Hezi didn't believe it.

"Hai hai! Drink less in the future~" Without learning, Naoki Nagayama mastered the trick of perfunctory others' concern.

Seeing that there was nothing to say, Hezi began to change the subject: "Is Nii-chan's movie finished? Are you coming back now?"

Naoki Nagayama answered while eating Japanese breakfast (really white rice): "No, just came back for something halfway. It is estimated that there is still a month's time."

"Then are you going over immediately?"

"Hmm, I'll go over after eating." Naoki Nagayama thought of Xiu-yi Yin. If he didn't go again, Xiu-san should be irritable, right?

"It seems that the entertainment industry is not a comfortable industry~" Hezi was eating while such a sentence popped out.

"? Why are you suddenly so emotional?" Naoki Nagayama was curious. "Does Hezi also want to enter the entertainment industry?"

"I used to think about it..."

After all, her own brother seemed to be very popular in the entertainment industry easily. In less than a few years, he bought a car and a house, and it seemed that he was about to marry a white, rich, and beautiful woman, win a Grammy, and reach the peak of life.

"Oh ho?" Naoki Nagayama glanced at his sister. Although she looked quite good, she was only upper-middle. "Looks average, talent is completely absent. Then your condition is probably not going to be red!"

"Hmm?! What did you say? Baka Nii-chan!"

Sensing the disrespect in Naoki Nagayama's tone and eyes, Hezi's eyes were cold, and the chopsticks in her hand were also gripped tightly!

Junshui Shijing on the side hurriedly drank a sip of miso soup and almost choked!

"I said Hezi, you should study hard, then find a good job, honestly go to work or marry someone!" Naoki Nagayama restrained a bit. "A place like the entertainment industry is not a place where everyone can stay well!"

If it weren't for the help of his golden finger, just relying on his appearance, he would be at most a new model now~

"Humph!" Hezi didn't speak, and buried her head in eating.

Naoki Nagayama looked, this wouldn't work either. He couldn't hit people too much: "Hezi, if you are really interested, you can come to my company for an internship before graduation to understand the real appearance of the entertainment industry and then consider the future~"

"Honto ni?" Hezi's eyes lit up.

"Yeah~" Anyway, it was a company under his name, and it was impossible to suffer a loss. "However, the university grades must be good!"

"Eh, why is it like this!"

"Do you think our company is a place where any cat or dog can come in~"

Eitaro and Miaotaro, who were also eating, looked up at the same time.

Taking the high-speed rail from Tokyo, passing through Shizuoka, and arriving at Atami on the Izu Peninsula, then changing to a hydrofoil boat, only then could he reach the Izu Peninsula.

The whole journey took three hours, no less than the time spent returning to Tokyo from Hokkaido.

When Naoki Nagayama got off the port, it was almost noon. There were no taxis on the island, so he could only ask a mini truck delivering goods near the port to take him for a ride, and came to the inn where Xiu-yi Yin stayed.

"Xiu-san has already gone out to film?" Naoki Nagayama met Guangming Xiaoyuan, who was left behind. "Will he come back at noon?"

"Should not!" Guangming Xiaoyuan shook his head. "In order to seize the filming time, Xiu-san brings lunch..."

So diligent? Naoki Nagayama, who had delayed a whole day plus a morning, felt slight uneasiness, but his brain turned and thought of something:

"By the way, Jia-chan also came, right?"

"Hai, Jia-chan was also brought together!" Guangming Xiaoyuan said honestly. "Because we have no manpower (female) to look after Jia-chan, she is following Xiu-san!"

"That's good!"

Naoki Nagayama was relieved. With Jia-chan, Xiu-san was equivalent to having a safety valve.

After asking for the direction, Naoki Nagayama walked toward Mount Mihara, which was covered with vegetation, as if he were on an outing.

In the dense forest, there were simple paths. After walking in, he felt that the light was blocked by layers of leaves. In the daytime, the dense forest also appeared a bit gloomy.

After walking for a while, sweating slightly, a sea breeze blew, cold and sticky, and he really felt a bit scared!

I don't know if it was psychological, but the further he walked into the forest, the more Naoki Nagayama felt an eerie and terrifying atmosphere, as if the place itself had abnormalities.

In fact, Mount Mihara itself is a suicide holy place in Japan. Since a female student jumped into the volcano here in 1933, in the same year, a total of 944 people jumped into the crater to commit suicide here...

In the following years, more than 100 people came here to jump into the crater every year.

To this day, this place has also gathered thousands of vengeful spirits!!!

Thinking about it this way, he felt more and more that this place was very wrong!

"Heaven and Earth Xuanzong, Ten Thousand Qi Root. Broadly cultivate billions of kalpas, prove my supernatural powers. Within the Three Realms, only the Dao is supreme. The body has golden light, covering my body..."

Naoki Nagayama recited the Golden Light Mantra he remembered from watching anime in his previous life, feeling it was a little useful, but not much.

So he changed to another mantra:

"Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, World Honored Ksitigarbha, Prajna Buddhas, Prajna Ba Ma Kong! Bold vengeful spirit, I can see at a glance that you are not a human! Ah, pui pui pui! Forget it, forget it, Miss Vengeful Spirit, please don't appear!"

No way, it's hard for someone with Naoki Nagayama's experience not to believe in monsters and ghosts!

Fortunately, he soon saw an old house that had been idle for a long time, and also heard the bustling movement there.

"Xiu-san!" Naoki Nagayama was very happy after seeing the familiar figure. "I'm here!"

Xiu-yi Yin was originally directing the crew to tidy up the camera positions, preparing to film the next shot. After seeing Naoki Nagayama coming, he subconsciously looked at his watch:

"It's already noon!"

Then he said to Fusahori Akio: "Zhengxiao-jun, let everyone take a break, and start work after lunch."

After nagging, he walked to Naoki Nagayama and said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes: "Naoki-san, you're here, hard work all the way~"

"How is it, did you sleep well in Tokyo?"

Yabai! This guy actually started to be sarcastic!

Naoki Nagayama immediately played Tai Chi: "Haha, it's still hard for Xiu-san to lead the crew to explore the way first. I was just talking about the new program with the guys at the TV station in Tokyo, and accompanying them to socialize. Even if I drink until I vomit, it's not as hard as Xiu-san!"

"..." Xiu-yi Yin paused, and immediately found the second attack point. "Haha, how is Naoki-san's courtyard construction? Such a big courtyard, it shouldn't be easy to rebuild, and it actually needs to be filmed for three days!"

"Yeah, it's really not easy, every aspect needs to be considered!" Actually started to imply that he spent his time on other aspects, Naoki Nagayama immediately changed the subject, pointing to the idle old house next to him, "When I bought it, it was the same as this old house, old, dilapidated, and everything needs to be rebuilt..."

While talking, he walked into the old house, and Xiu-yi Yin also subconsciously followed in.

The basic structure of this old house was still okay, not too rotten. The crew had also explored it in advance, and cleaned it up a bit to facilitate filming.

"Come to think of it, this old house really fits the atmosphere of Sadako's movie!" Naoki Nagayama continued to change the subject, pointing to some decorations inside. "Are these reports inside the masterpieces of the prop team?"

"Hmm, it is indeed..." Xiu-yi Yin still didn't want to give up, and was about to continue pointing out the abominable lateness of Naoki Nagayama this time. "Naoki-san, if you came on time, you could have given some suggestions for the set..."

"Hahaha, everyone in the prop team is already very good!" Naoki Nagayama pointed to the dim room. "This kind of horror atmosphere, it's really like a haunted house!"

"Naoki-san, you are not on time again..."

Seeing Naoki Nagayama so slippery, Xiu-yi Yin wanted to say it directly. Just at this time:

"Woo~~~"

An eerie and terrifying sound rang out from the corner of the dim room, making people's backs cold and their hair stand up.

"Wocao~"

Naoki Nagayama was startled by this, and Xiu-yi Yin on the side was also startled first, and then suddenly reacted, shouting angrily:

"Jia-chan! Are you playing that water harp again!"

"Haha, was Odo-san scared?" A head poked out from the corner, and then Jia-chan Yin ran over with a big water harp.

"Is it actually Jia-chan?" Naoki Nagayama breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yeah, the water harp Naoki-san bought has now become Jia-chan's toy! Always scaring people everywhere!"

Xiu-yi Yin was helpless. He brought his daughter to the set, and couldn't look after her at any time, so he could only let her play by herself.

I don't know when, she started taking the water harp to scare people. If she was scolded a few times, she would be tearful and make people unable to say anything anymore, and even crying if she took the water harp away... Now she has become a set bully!

"Is Jia-chan afraid herself?" Naoki Nagayama touched Jia-chan Yin's little head.

"What's there to be afraid of with this sound?" The little girl said energetically. "This water harp can make so many sounds, it's really interesting!"

"Oh? How many sounds can Jia-chan make?"

"Many, many, using different instruments, putting in different water... the timbre is different..."

Naoki Nagayama actually chatted so enthusiastically with Jia-chan Yin, completely ignoring Xiu-yi Yin, quite a bit of holding the emperor to order the princes.

Xiu-yi Yin understood that there was no way today, so he could only take the two to the place where they ate, while eating and planning the afternoon filming.

After the lunch break passed, Xiu-yi Yin let everyone prepare to work again, Naoki Nagayama walked over.

Xiu-yi Yin asked: "Eh? Jia-chan? Why didn't she follow?"

Before, she would always pester Xiu-yi Yin, or make trouble on the set.

"I gave Jia-chan a homework." Naoki Nagayama laughed. "I said if Jia-chan can make the sound effects needed for this movie with the water harp, I will hand over the post-dubbing work to her, and will give a big red envelope as a reward!"

"This child is a bit lonely alone in the crew, and because there is nothing to do, she is a bit bored, so she will make trouble."

Xiu-yi Yin nodded. This is also good: "Thank you, Naoki-san!"

"Hmm, I'll go see the scenes to be filmed this afternoon." Naoki Nagayama walked toward the crew. "It's up to you later."

"Up to me?" Xiu-yi Yin was stunned, and immediately reacted. "Naoki-san, you mean, that red envelope should be given by me?!"

Using my money, coaxing my daughter, and white-piaoing my daughter's labor, and finally I have to thank you?!

Naoki Nagayama, there is a reason why you have money!

Ignoring Xiu-yi Yin's changing face, Naoki Nagayama walked to the lead actress Yuko Tanaka. At this time, she was wearing a formal suit and looking at the script: "Yuko-san, is there any problem with the filming now?"

"Ah, Naoki-san!" Yuko Tanaka laughed. "Absolutely not! The filming here is actually very smooth!"

In fact, the filming of this kind of horror movie, because it relies on the plot to be scary, most of the time you just need to show a terrified expression. Compared to the complex expressions of perseverance with sadness, suppression with joy in bitterness, etc., in *Oshin*, it is simply too simple.

"That's good~" Naoki Nagayama laughed. "The filming progress is already about one-third. With this speed, I believe we can finish it in mid-November!"

"Yeah!" Yuko Tanaka nodded, but hesitated. "However, Naoki-san, in early November, I might need to ask for leave, the rehearsal for the *Kohaku Uta Gassen*..."

"Isn't this discussed before! It doesn't matter!" Naoki Nagayama waved his hand. "We just need to keep the progress! At that time, I might also need to ask for leave!"

"Eh?"

"I also have to rehearse, I am a guest of the FNS Music Festival!" Naoki Nagayama laughed. "And at that time, maybe I have to film something else..."

"Naoki-san is actually a guest?" Yuko Tanaka was surprised. "Then this year's music festival must be watched!"

"Hahaha~"

The two happily exchanged experiences of large-scale performances, and then invested in the filming of *Ring*.

The external scenery is very easy. On the reefs by the sea, in the shade of the dense forest, you can film very good shots. As the lead actress, Yuko Tanaka grasped the panic and fear of the character Reiko Asakawa very well.

The next crater is a bit troublesome, mainly because it is very dangerous here and it is clear that nearly a thousand people committed suicide here. The local police station is watching very strictly.

When returning to the old house to repair, Naoki Nagayama asked:

"Xiu-san, are you going to film that well here later?"

"Hai, it's in the woods nearby." Xiu-yi Yin nodded. "The prop team should have finished making it."

"Oh? I'll go see~" Naoki Nagayama became interested and walked toward the woods next to him.

On an open space in a forest, it was covered with fallen leaves, and there was a well in the middle. When Naoki Nagayama walked over, the prop team was just doing the final decoration for the wellhead.

"Naoki-san!" "Naoki-san, you're here~"

The staff naturally all knew Naoki Nagayama and greeted him respectfully.

"Hai, I'm here to see the effect of this well." Naoki Nagayama asked the prop team. "Is it made of foam?"

"Hai, foam molding, and then painted with paint." One of the middle-aged men named Takehiko Takei answered. "Finally, use nails and glue to stand on the shelf underneath."

"Oh? Let me see."

Naoki Nagayama poked his head over and saw the pit under the wellhead, extending to the side like a mine, and there was a ladder to facilitate going up and down.

"This pit is not big, only one person can hide in it while half-squatting." Takehiko Takei said. "Because of time, we can't dig too deep."

"It's really dug out!" Naoki Nagayama clicked his tongue. "It's really hard work."

"Haha, this is a small matter." Takehiko Takei laughed. "It's more important

"So, in the future, if we could have a base with all kinds of sets prepared, we wouldn't have to go through so much trouble." Naoki Nagayama said casually, suddenly thinking of Hollywood in the United States; it would be great if there were a place like that.

He also suddenly remembered that the studio for Tree Friend Films used to be a place with all kinds of backdrops and small stages, which could also be used when filming various commercials, but now that there were more and more people, it had become an office space.

The idea arose in his mind to buy a floor in Ginza and then clear out the studio to serve as a special effects filming location.

Takehiko Takei chimed in from the side: "Yeah, Shochiku, Toei, Toho... they all have their own filming bases. I've been to the filming sites for special effects dramas to learn before, and they really have everything you could possibly need!"

"Haha, maybe we'll have one in the future too!" Naoki Nagayama patted him on the shoulder, "But Takei-san, let's focus on this movie for now. I remember there's still one well that needs to be filmed, right?"

"Hai, it's the well buried under the house decades later." Takehiko Takei said, "We've already built that one in the basement; it will definitely be finished before filming!"

"Hmm, that's good!" Naoki Nagayama looked at the well in front of him, his playful side taking over, and he nimbly climbed inside.

"When I come out... how should I do it?"

One hand reached out from inside the well first, then the elbow, then the whole body, in a stiff motion like a zombie.

If it were replaced by the white-clad, black-haired Sadako-san, it would probably have a unique flavor!
