Chapter 584: Naoki-san has a big secret!!! That is

~15 min read 2,890 words

The earlier light was clear and bright, just like the most beautiful youth time in life.

Downstairs of the residential building in Musashino, cherry blossoms fell with the breeze, as if it were a pink petal rain. They fell on the lawn next to it, on the steps at the entrance, and on the concrete road in front of the building...

It was as if the spring breeze passed by quietly, leaving a little pink mark gently.

A moving truck came slowly from a distance, encountered a wedding car dusting off the cherry blossoms on the roof on the road, and gave way to the bride in white pure clothes who was about to get on the wedding car...

Continuing to move forward, a group of children crossing the road immediately avoided the slowly approaching truck, until the truck finally stopped at the entrance of the residential building...

"Cut! Yoshi~"

Naoki Nagayama shouted "Ka" happily. This long shot was not only very smooth for him to film, but from the effect, it was also a rare good shot in the movie!

"Masataka-kun, you are really capable!" Naoki Nagayama patted Masataka Komori's shoulder happily.

Originally thought that the children and the bride's team needed time to prepare, so he planned to film tomorrow, but he didn't expect Masataka Komori, who had explosive execution, to get it done in the morning!

"Where, where... still need to thank Naoki-san for providing the wedding car!" Yes, that wedding car was Naoki Nagayama's Toyota Century, "In addition, still need to thank Kijima-kun for his hard work!"

After Masataka Komori came, he happened to hear that a nearby shrine was holding a wedding, so he used a big red envelope, upgraded the high-end wedding car, plus a professional senior photographer to record the whole wedding and produce a wedding commemorative VTR, etc., to temporarily let them participate in this movie during the parade before the wedding.

Those children were also brought to attend the wedding~

"Kijima-kun?" Shuichi Ido interrupted and asked.

"Yes, Shizhi Kijima was in the wedding team just now, the person running around filming." Masataka Komori pointed to a black shadow in the distance.

"Ah... it's him!" Shuichi Ido finally remembered, this person was actually his own person.

Naoki Nagayama smiled: "Shuichi-san, Kijima-kun has been following the crew to film anyway... You didn't recognize him?!"

Shuichi Ido scratched his head: "What can I do... Kijima-kun has superpowers..."

Speaking of this, several people nodded in agreement. Shizhi Kijima's super low sense of existence really felt like he had superpowers.

"Ma... remember to give Kijima-kun a big red envelope later!" Naoki Nagayama decided not to talk about him, and continued the following filming, "The next scene... let me see... ah, moving..."

Momoko Kikuchi, wearing a light blue hoodie and jeans, was already waiting in front of the door. She had her long hair coiled into a single ponytail, and her round cheeks were full of youthful vitality.

After adjusting the camera position, three downstairs and two in the room upstairs, and explaining to each actor, Naoki Nagayama instructed:

"Momoko-chan, get ready! Remember the feeling of wanting to help... but not being able to intervene no matter what!"

"Hai!"

"Then, everyone in place, prepare... Action!"

After the director gave an order, the actors began to act.

Three moving guys came down from the truck. After confirming with Momoko Kikuchi, they began to move the furniture down from the truck in an orderly manner.

And Momoko Kikuchi, according to Naoki Nagayama's instructions, wanted to go up to help very much on the side, but was disgusted by the three moving guys...

"Uzuki-san~ Please leave it to us!" "Uzuki-san~ This is very heavy, you can't move it..." "Uzuki-san..."

Uzuki Nireno, played by Momoko Kikuchi, looked like she was enthusiastic and wanted to help but couldn't help with anything, just like she couldn't wait to show that she had grown up and was independent.

So when moving to the end, leaving a small stool for the protagonist to take up, Uzuki Nireno's face was a bit disappointed~

Just as she wanted to walk toward the apartment upstairs, Uzuki Nireno seemed to notice something...

Looking down, the process of running around just now, after all, still got some things. In the pocket of the light blue hoodie, I don't know when a few cherry blossom petals fell...

Gently lifting the pocket with her hand, the petals fell down...

"Cut!" At this time, Naoki Nagayama suddenly shouted "Ka"!

"Hmm?" Momoko Kikuchi looked over with some doubts, "Naoki-san, is there anything insufficient?"

"Well... a few cherry blossoms, no feeling at all!"

Naoki Nagayama thought about it. In the original movie, when lifting the pocket, what was poured out was a big handful of petals! Originally thought it was the director's mistake... didn't expect that fewer petals really had no feeling.

Walking to the shrub next to it, quickly collected a big handful, and then stuffed it into Momoko Kikuchi's pocket.

"Momoko-chan, remember to use a little force when lifting, and stretch the pocket mouth a little bigger..." Naoki Nagayama explained, and then said to Shuichi Ido, who had no task for the time being: "Shuichi-san, please film this scene with a high-definition camera, add a little soft light... I think it can be used as a poster!"

"..."

A director who felt that the movie screen could be used as a poster before filming... Shuichi Ido was seeing it for the first time...

Sure enough, among the flying cherry blossom petals, the girl in the light blue hoodie, the cherry blossom petals shaken from her pocket, seemed to shake out the entire spring of cherry blossoms...

"Cut!"

With Naoki Nagayama's voice, this shot was finally recorded perfectly! The crew even applauded.

Shuichi Ido sighed:

"Naoki-san... how exactly does your brain work! The picture just now is still in my mind..."

Should I tell you that I have the whole movie in my mind? Naoki Nagayama laughed secretly in his heart, but on the surface, he still said god-like:

"Haha, I just saw the scene of cherry blossoms falling, and felt a little bit."

Masataka Komori next to him seemed to really believe it, looked up tightly at the cherry blossoms falling from the treetops, as if he also wanted to feel something:

"But I can't feel anything!"

Shuichi Ido patted his head: "Masataka-kun, don't be silly, Naoki-san is just lying to you!"

Then he pointed to the dancing petals and said: "This kind of scene that you see every year, cherry blossoms dancing and falling one by one, what can you feel!"

Naoki Nagayama actually didn't care about it himself. When he heard Shuichi Ido saying one by one, he even wanted to use the old stalk of "one piece, two pieces, three or four pieces... falling into the flowers and disappearing."

But didn't expect that following Shuichi Ido's fingers, his eyes followed the dancing petals for a while, and a thought also swayed with the swaying cherry blossoms... Like a fishing line, it instantly connected a memory of his subconscious.

"This... this works too?"

Naoki Nagayama only had a thought, and then a moving and sad melody echoed in his mind.

It seemed to remind people of the sad parting that had to be faced at graduation... The love in his heart hadn't had time to say... and the hesitation about the swaying future...

"

Sakura hirahira mai ochite (Cherry blossoms, falling one by one)

Yureru omoi no take wo dakishimeta (Holding the swaying thoughts)

Kimi to haru ni negai shi ano yume wa (That dream I wished for with you in spring)

Ima mo miete iru yo (Still clearly visible now~)

Sakura mai chiru (Cherry blossoms scattering~)

"

Ikimonogakari's *Sakura*...

The memory that filled him made Naoki Nagayama dizzy, he took two steps back and leaned on the camera to stand firm, but his eyes were still closed, his face was pale...

"Naoki-san? What's wrong?"

Momoko Kikuchi was the first to discover Naoki Nagayama's abnormality and asked with concern, which attracted everyone's attention.

"Body uncomfortable?" "Caught a cold?" "Dizzy?" "Low blood sugar?"

The crew members all put forward opinions, but Naoki Nagayama at this time could no longer hear their questions.

Barely sorting out the memories in his brain, the sound of music seemed to be echoing in his ears... Naoki Nagayama opened his eyes and looked at the people around him, and said to Shuichi Ido, whom he was most familiar with:

"Shuichi-san..."

"Hai, I'm here, what's wrong with Naoki-san?" Shuichi Ido asked anxiously.

"Give me a notebook and a pen..." The voice was still a bit low.

"Hmm? Notebook and pen?" Hearing this request, Shuichi Ido was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly understood something, his expression became wonderful instantly, "Now?!! Actually just now?!!"

Saying that, he hurriedly shouted at the crew members: "Who has a pen? And a notebook?! Bring it quickly!!"

For a time, everyone in the crew was a bit at a loss. Isn't Naoki-san uncomfortable? Shouldn't he call a doctor?

Masataka Komori also reacted:

"Notebook, notebook! I have a pen here! Who has a notebook! Manuscript paper is fine too!"

Momoko Kikuchi was made a bit at a loss by the voices of the two, not knowing what the situation was, but still said:

"Ano, I have a notebook here, it's for recording lines, don't know if it works?"

Saying that, she took out a notebook slightly larger than a palm from the back pocket of her jeans... The bright yellow cover was also printed with a cute Arale pattern...

"Should be no problem!" Shuichi Ido took it and handed it to Naoki Nagayama with the pen.

Then he saw Naoki Nagayama sitting on the ground, one hand spread out the small notebook, and the other hand began to write...

Shuichi Ido and Masataka Komori leaned over, and sure enough, saw that it was music scores and lyrics... And the first line was "Cherry blossoms, falling one by one"...

The two looked at each other, sure enough, it was exactly the same as what the two said just now!

Naoki Nagayama, this guy, actually created a song from the conversation between the two just now!!!

It's really terrible!

Seeing Naoki Nagayama burying his head in writing, and the others in the crew seemed to start to feel relieved, Momoko Kikuchi felt very strange.

Couldn't help but ask Shuichi Ido on the side:

"Shuichi-san, what's wrong? What happened?"

Shuichi Ido looked at the little girl and patted his head:

"Ah, Momoko-chan is still the first time..."

Then he excitedly popularized it to Momoko Kikuchi: "Our Naoki Nagayama is a genius songwriter, you know that, right?"

"Hai, has the title of gold medal songwriter in the industry!" For this point, Momoko Kikuchi naturally heard about it.

"Hmm, Naoki-san is also a writer, screenwriter..." Shuichi Ido said excitedly, "All creative behaviors that need inspiration, Naoki-san is an out-and-out genius! Monster!"

"However, such a Naoki-san has a secret that only close people know!"

Shuichi Ido's tone lowered, as if he wanted to quietly tell Momoko Kikuchi, "That is..."

But Masataka Komori, who had been listening for a long time on the side, couldn't bear it anymore:

"Naoki-san's inspiration burst is instantaneous! In just a few minutes, he can even create two complete songs! Lyrics, music, and even styles are very different! And when Naoki-san's inspiration bursts, it seems that because of excessive brain use, he will fall into a state of dizziness, similar to low blood sugar!"

Masataka Komori said the words like a machine gun, without leaving a single sentence for Shuichi Ido.

Seeing Momoko Kikuchi's unbelievable look, Masataka Komori only felt instantly relieved, as if the burden that had been accumulated for a long time was suddenly released.

But Shuichi Ido's face was very unhappy!

This is digging! This is smashing the field!

Obviously I was explaining to the girl, this kind of pleasure and excitement of sharing secrets should belong to me!

Perhaps Shuichi Ido's gaze was too powerful, Masataka Komori could only turn around awkwardly, pretending to continue observing Naoki Nagayama...

"Honto ni?!" Momoko Kikuchi was still very suspicious, is there really such a person in this world?

Although Shuichi Ido hated it, he still answered the newcomer girl at this time: "This is absolutely true, Naoki-san has... ah, created in front of everyone four or five times..."

"Is this some kind of superpower?! Can create continuously!" Momoko Kikuchi looked at Naoki Nagayama writing on the side, as if seeing a continuous gold mine!

Shuichi Ido explained: "Can't be so frequent, Naoki-san said that his inspiration burst is very irregular... and don't know when the inspiration will dry up."

"Is that so..." Momoko Kikuchi's round face was still half-believing.

But at this time, Shuichi Ido suddenly thought that Momoko Kikuchi didn't seem to realize that Naoki Nagayama used her notebook!

This little girl didn't seem to have any concept of the value of Naoki Nagayama's creative manuscript... Then could he, embezzle it?...

Only one manuscript of *Love Like* is not enough at all! Even Riko Hayano has two!

"Ahem..." When he wanted to deceive the little girl, Shuichi Ido still had some shame, but it was immediately covered by his thick skin. A kind smile appeared on his face, "Momoko-chan? How much is that notebook of yours?"

"Eh, that was just bought casually in a small shop, doesn't cost much..." Momoko Kikuchi said honestly.

"Is that so..." Shuichi Ido nodded, "Since it's not worth much, then give it to me, and re-copy the songs on it."

"Eh? This..."

Shuichi Ido originally thought the little girl would agree, but she changed her mind suddenly. He turned his head suspiciously to look at Masataka Komori, and found that he was focusing on watching Naoki Nagayama write, while others around seemed to be busy with their own things, only occasionally looking over...

Could it be that Momoko Kikuchi really couldn't bear it? Thinking so, Shuichi Ido wanted to continue persuading.

But at this time, Naoki Nagayama breathed a sigh of relief and stood up: "Finally finished writing..."

The pressure in his brain was much lighter. He said and returned the notebook to Momoko Kikuchi,

"Thanks for your notebook, Momoko-chan."

"Ah, completely no need! It's just a notebook." Momoko Kikuchi waved her hand to indicate no need.

"Ha..." Naoki Nagayama didn't say much, but talked about the song he just created, "Just heard Shuichi-san's words, and saw the scene of cherry blossoms dancing, suddenly felt something."

"So this song is called *Sakura*! Although the name is a bit too common, the song is still different... Believe it will be a good song."

Naoki Nagayama was very confident, because this song is Ikimonogakari's famous song. He looked at Momoko Kikuchi with a smile:

"Momoko-chan, just in time for your filming, this song is for you!"

"Eh?!! For me?" Momoko Kikuchi opened her eyes wide, and even the crew members on the side looked over.

"Yeah, didn't I still owe you a debut song?" Naoki Nagayama laughed, "The custom of the Tree Friend Group... isn't it that I have to create a debut song for every idol artist..."

"!!!"

Originally thought it was just talking, didn't expect it to be true! Momoko Kikuchi excitedly held the notebook in her arms, and the whole person was excited.

"Arigato! Naoki-san!!"

And on the other side, Shuichi Ido, this time determined that the notebook couldn't be deceived, could only sigh.

Then asked: "Naoki-san, is this song the theme song of *April Story*?"

Naoki Nagayama shook his head: "Although the atmosphere is very similar, the soundtrack of *April Story* has already been composed by me, all pure music... This vocal might seem abrupt."

"So let's follow the debut plan that Otomo-san formulated for Momoko-chan."

"Hai, I know~" Shuichi Ido nodded to indicate he already knew.

The sudden event made the crew's filming stop for a while, but it didn't hinder. Naoki Nagayama explained the situation just now to the crew members, and after showing that he had no problem at all, the filming process of *April Story* began to continue.

The scene of moving into Musashino, the scene of entering university for the first time, the scene of meeting in the bookstore, the scene of borrowing an umbrella in the rain... The important shots have been filmed almost, and next need to find time to film the scene of cherry blossoms falling.

Tomorrow need to go to the fields in the suburbs to film some shots of the small town in the countryside, and let Yutaka Ozaki come over to play the guitar in the fields...

Calculating like this, the tight filming process, no more than two weeks, really ended completely!

Next, it will be the tense editing work!

Now it is mid-March, *April Story*, definitely can be released in early April! ===== CHAPTER 585 =====

Tomorrow I need to go to a field in the suburbs to shoot some footage of the rural town, and also have Yutaka Ozaki come over to play the guitar in the field...

Calculating it this way, the tense filming process will truly be completely finished in no more than two weeks!

Next, it will be the intense editing work again!

It is already mid-March, "April Story" will definitely be able to be released in early April!
