Chapter 997

The filming of *Tokyo Love Story* is in full swing.

In the class reunion at the restaurant, high school friends Kanji Nagao, Kenichi Mikami, and Satomi Sekiguchi finally reunited.

Old friends meeting, they couldn't help but chat a few more words during the meal. Some old classmates were very frivolous in their words toward Satomi, making Kanji Nagao very unhappy......

"Sumimasen, I'm late....."

Satomi Sekiguchi, played by Kanako Higuchi, arrived in a hurry wearing appropriate clothes, fully embodying the image of a great beauty in everyone's mouth.

Making Kanji Nagao, who was sitting on the side, have eyes that lit up~

After Kanji Nagao saw the white moonlight he secretly loved, he was naturally very excited, but Satomi didn't seem to pay attention to him, but was always watching Kenichi Mikami after he arrived....

Kanji Nagao suppressed the impulse in his heart after seeing that she seemed to be very concerned about Kenichi Mikami.....

There were quite a few scenes in the set of this restaurant, the other extras didn't move much, but the protagonists had to change......

The next scene was Honami Suzuki accidentally participating in this gathering because of flower arranging.

Honami Suzuki, who had undergone a style change, was already able to make people completely ignore her age, like a real city girl.

"Rika-chan, why are you here?"

Kanji Nagao was very surprised to see Rika Akana.

"Because the cactus was broken by Mikami-kun, so I came here by mistake......"

"Good! CUT!"

Naoki Nagayama shouted cut immediately after the gathering scene ended, and then let the crew start preparing for the next shot.

"Naoki-san, how is it?"

Kanako Higuchi walked to Naoki Nagayama's side during the gap, bent down and looked at the picture in the camera director's monitor.

A head of beautiful hair was scattered from her shoulders, swaying slightly with the movement of her body. A few strands happened to drift to Naoki Nagayama's cheek, bringing a fragrance of gardenia.....

"Very good~"

Naoki Nagayama watched the scene just filmed for a while, nodding with satisfaction.

"As expected, finding Kanako-san is an excellent decision, expressing the great beauty Satomi just right!"

To be honest, playing a beauty in a drama, especially a beauty recognized by everyone, is very difficult..... Just like the four great beauties recognized in China, who dares to say they can hold it?

Because if it is broadcast and everyone doesn't recognize it, it is a kind of harm to both the drama and the actor herself.

At that time, maybe words like "no self-knowledge", "thick-skinned", "must have brought money to join the group", "maybe there is something private" could all be said.

"Does Naoki-san also think I'm a great beauty?!"

Kanako Higuchi said jokingly, getting closer..... The shoulders seemed to be able to feel the softness of the body.

"Of course!"

Naoki Nagayama hadn't reacted yet at this time, praising subconsciously, and looked up at the lady next to him.

Kanako Higuchi is 26 years old this year, with a gentle face, soft features, fair skin, and a full figure, which is the most beautiful time in her life.

Almond-like big eyes, the eyes looking over seem to hide stars, plus the gentle temperament like a Yamato Nadeshiko.....

Definitely worthy of being called a great beauty in Japanese culture!

"Definitely a great beauty!"

"Naoki-san's mouth is really sweet!"

Kanako Higuchi tapped Naoki Nagayama's shoulder lightly, and after saying a few words, she left the director's position with a smile, continuing to prepare for the next scene.

Naoki Nagayama looked at the crew's preparation work again, and then reacted a little:

"Was I just flirted with by Kanako-san?!"

Turning his head to look at the surrounding staff, everyone seemed to have a consensus not to look at Naoki Nagayama, all looking busy with their heads down.....

Even Kyo Kijima, who was operating the camera on the side, had his eyes tightly fixed on the camera, as if he wanted to see its texture!

What to do if you see the director and the actress flirting in the theater?

Of course, pretend not to see it!

Pretend that nothing happened and that you are very busy, this is the essence of the Japanese workplace!

"......."

Naoki Nagayama felt that he was being flirted with, but it didn't seem so obvious...... This vague feeling should be called ambiguity.....

This is also a helpless thing. After all, Naoki Nagayama is very handsome, carries a lot of halos, and is the absolute core of the crew, controlling the life and death of the actors.

In this case, which qualified actress in the entertainment industry wouldn't be tempted?!

So what if he's married? As long as you get on with Naoki Nagayama, you won't lose out even if you don't get resources!

Thinking back to the public opinion report from the company's publicity department before, saying that he started flirting with the actresses in the drama again..... Heartthrob Naoki is going to go online again.....

"Hmm......"

Naoki Nagayama shook his head, sighing in his heart.

"It's hard to be too popular!"

But now *Tokyo Love Story* is in the middle of filming, and Kanako Higuchi is his friend from before, and only slightly revealed an ambiguous meaning, and he couldn't refuse it head-on.....

Otherwise, the girl would also be very ashamed, and this drama will be filmed for another month or two!

A serious attitude will hurt the other party, but if you don't express your attitude, it will become more and more ambiguous, not to mention the rumors......

The key is that he, Naoki Nagayama, is also a man. Although he can be said to be self-disciplined, if he keeps being ambiguous like this, what if one day the ambiguity goes to his head......

Maybe he will make the mistake that all men make!

Must think of a way......

It is best to let Kanako Higuchi give up consciously....

In Shuyue's building, Shuichi Ido is discussing the film's publicity work with the publicity department.

"Although it is said to be a film with zero presence...." Shuichi Ido set the tone first. "But in publicity work, you can't have zero presence!"

"We must be able to find this film among film enthusiasts, major film newspapers and magazines, as well as various cinemas and publicity channels!"

"Yes!"

Eiichiro Watanabe hurriedly took the conversation.

"Shuichi-san, we have already negotiated with major theater chains. Although this film is not a horror or thriller, due to its characteristics, the cinema will also make special publicity!"

"We will also draw lucky audiences from the film audience. If they can answer the plot, they can get gifts...."

"In addition, we will widely publicize the urban legend of 'The Man with Zero Presence' among various gossip tabloids and film enthusiasts....."

Toshihiko Sugiyama waited for his subordinate to finish speaking before reporting:

"In official reports, we have arranged press releases, promoting from the point of 'paying attention to the inconspicuous people around you'..... making this film a work that satirizes reality phenomena....."

"In Japanese campus culture, there has always been a phenomenon of 'air people'..... Other students ignore this person together, treating him as a non-existent person..... This is also a form of bullying....."

Toshihiko Sugiyama's meaning is actually to treat *The Man with Zero Presence* as a work that satirizes reality in the mainstream film position, while continuing to use the "urban legend" routine for publicity in other film positions, while pleasing people in both camps.

Although in fact, there was no goal of reflecting reality phenomena during filming, Shuichi Ido still nodded in agreement with this method.

Making money, it's not shameful!

Besides, if you think about it carefully, this film is indeed very consistent with the phenomena in reality, and it can be said to be an exaggeration of a bullying phenomenon in campus and workplace.

People who are excluded by everyone in every collective, treated as non-existent people, so naturally everything about him is ignored.....

Thinking about it this way, the *The Man with Zero Presence* that Shuichi Ido filmed actually has a lot of depth!!!

Maybe if he works hard, he can even win some awards!

"Hmm, let's promote it like this!"

Shuichi Ido nodded calmly.

"After tomorrow's preview, this film will be officially released....."

"In the next two months, Kijima-kun and I will conduct roadshows in various cities, striving to attract more audiences....."

Just as Shuichi Ido was talking endlessly, he suddenly discovered something halfway through:

"Eh?! Where is Kijima-kun? Why don't I see Kijima-kun?!"

Everyone in the conference room turned their heads to look for him. Kyo Kijima is the big protagonist of this film. How could he not be at such an important pre-release seminar?!

And they didn't notice it for such a long time?!

"Kijima-kun is the protagonist!" Shuichi Ido had black lines on his forehead. "How can he not participate in such an important meeting?!"

"I want to deduct his salary!!"

"Where on earth is he!"

At this moment, a weak voice sounded:

"Shuichi-san...... Kijima-san he..... he seems to have gone to the *Tokyo Love Story* crew....."

Everyone turned their eyes to the person who spoke. He is the newcomer of the publicity department, Ishikawashin, who is said to be very careful.....

At this time, Ishikawashin stood up:

"Kijima-san said the arrangement for this week at the previous regular meeting..... said he was going to the Ota Ward filming base to help with filming....."

"......."

Shuichi Ido thought of the reason instantly:

"Kono yaro!!! This guy, he must want the filming rights for *Tiger of Ginza*!"

Being so diligent to show his face in front of Naoki Nagayama is definitely to compete with Masataka Komori!!!

"*Tiger of Ginza*?" "New film project? Is it ready?" "Seems to be a script from the creative center?" "I heard the editor who went to experience the real situation almost lost his virginity!" "Directed by Naoki-san himself!" "The main blockbuster of Shuyue Film this year!"

"......."

The whispering of the crowd rose all at once. Although this is the publicity seminar for *The Man with Zero Presence*, this film is just like its name, its presence has become zero all at once!

"Alright, alright!"

Shuichi Ido clapped his hands.

"Let's put the matter of *Tiger of Ginza* aside for now..... Someone go call Kyo Kijima and tell him to come back immediately!"

Shuichi Ido looked around, a little angry, and decided to kill the chicken to warn the monkey.

"If he doesn't come back, tell him there will definitely be no part for him in the next film! I said it!"

"......."

"Next, let's continue to discuss the publicity of the new film!"

"Yes!" XN

After returning to Shanying Yuan at night, Naoki Nagayama brought his ear close to Akina's belly as usual, listening to the movement of the baby inside.

"Ah, kicked!"

Naoki Nagayama raised his head with a smile.

"Kicked hard!"

As the child grows bigger, the fetal movement becomes more frequent. This little baby looks full of energy.....

"Haha, who told Naoki-san to keep saying that he would beat her hard after the baby is born!"

"Humph humph, I keep every kick in my heart!" Naoki Nagayama stroked Akina's belly, as if speaking to the little baby inside. "I'll settle the account when you come out!"

Akina looked at her husband with a smile. Naoki-san is like a child at times.... No wonder others say that to treat a man, you just need to learn child psychology!

"Alright...... Naoki-san, help me apply some olive oil....."

Olive oil and vitamin E during pregnancy can prevent stretch marks. This is a method that appeared very early. As a rich person and a star, Akina naturally made preparations long ago.

Naoki Nagayama helped apply olive oil while chatting about today's work.....

"*Tokyo Love Story* is filming very smoothly, but the next scene will be at night, and it will be filmed on the streets of Tokyo...... So it might be very late when I come back tomorrow night...."

"At night?"

Akina Nakamori's brow furrowed slightly. She didn't want to see her husband very late either, but thinking that this was work, there was no other way.

"How many days will the night scenes take?"

"About two or three days....."

Naoki Nagayama recalled the night scenes in the filming schedule, including confessions, breakups, and dating on the road......

Come to think of it, old urban dramas are very realistic in this regard. Clearly, everyone is a hard-working employee, and they all have to work during the day. Where is there so much time to fall in love and do all kinds of things?!

So many scenes are at night or on rest days~

Unlike today's urban romance dramas, no matter if you are an ordinary employee, supervisor, or manager, you can always wander around in broad daylight to find your own love.....

Various plot conflicts are all during the day, and you can come out with a phone call, as if you don't need to ask for leave or work at all......

"Doesn't that mean you'll be busy for a long time?!"

Recently, Akina has become increasingly sleepy, and she definitely falls asleep around nine or ten o'clock. Naoki Nagayama definitely won't see her when he comes back.

And if it's Ota Ward, Naoki-san also has to go over very early..... He won't be able to say a few words in the morning either~

"Just for this period....."

Seeing that Akina's eyes still seemed to be reluctant, and thinking of what happened during the day, Naoki Nagayama suddenly thought of an idea:

"Akina, are you feeling stuffy at home recently?"

"Eh?"

"Don't you want to go out for some fresh air after staying at home for a long time?"

"What does Naoki-san mean?"

"There are almost many scenes in the next few days that will be filmed in the city center of Tokyo...."

Naoki Nagayama said with a smile.

"If Akina misses me, you can come to visit the set?!"

"!!! Can I?"

Akina's eyes were eager to move. It was easy to lack a sense of security when pregnant at home. If she went to visit the set....

On one hand, she could see her husband, and on the other hand, as a wife visiting the set, she could show her status as the hostess in front of everyone.....

It is indeed a very good method!

And Naoki Nagayama was also slightly relieved......

If Akina went to visit the set, Kanako-san's little thoughts should disappear directly!

The main wife visiting the set while pregnant~

Isn't this clearly telling everyone that I am the main palace, and I am already pregnant with the direct bloodline of the Nagayama family, so others shouldn't have any thoughts......

"What a good idea!" Inner drama X2
