Chapter 267 266, the Island Is so Small, Why Not Film the Sea?
Entering the second ten days of October, the cherry blossoms in Yamazakin are blooming again~
A young man in autumn clothes stood in the courtyard, squinting his eyes at this out-of-season cherry blossom tree. The pink cherry blossom buds on the trunk were slightly opened, revealing shy stamens, while the sunny branches in a better position, pink The white petals are opening their arms towards the morning light.
The clustered cherry blossoms covered the original gray-brown cherry tree with a layer of pink clothes, as if spring had come to this courtyard again.
Under the warm sunshine in the morning, the stamens that had condensed autumn frost turned into dewdrops, scattering crystal clear light like small diamonds, dyed together with the pink of cherry blossoms, like a dream in the morning light magical.
"I always feel that your cherry blossom is a bit weird." Naoki Yongshan stood under the tree and patted the trunk. "If this is a supernatural world, you will definitely become a monster~"
Mumbling to himself like a middle school boy, Naoki Nagayama took a deep breath of the aroma of cherry blossoms, and then walked into the room.
"Now that the flowers have bloomed, it's time to hold a banquet~"
After finishing the simple breakfast neatly, Naoki Nagayama left Ketaro at home to look after the house, and then went out with the hood alone.
The place we are going to go to today is Jimbocho, where Iwanami Cinema is located.
Thanks to Shuichi Toitou, under the recommendation of his mentor, the movie "That Summer, The Tranquil Sea" has been accepted by Iwanami Cinema. Since it was a trial screening, it did not do too much publicity, and it was just an invitation Only famous people in the film industry and some media personnel,
Of course, the public notice board in the lobby has also been made, and moviegoers on the day of the preview can also buy tickets to watch.
In fact, this test screening can also be regarded as an interview. If the person in charge of Iwanami Cinema thinks it is okay, then the movie "That Summer, The Tranquil Sea" can be screened in Iwanami for up to 3 months.
Jimbocho is a place where the streets are filled with the smell of books and coffee.
There are bookstores and coffee shops all over the street. From time to time, you can see someone enjoying a cup of coffee in the coffee shop and reading quietly with a book in their hands. Walking along the street here, it seems that even the time slows down a bit.
Iwanami Cinema is located on the tenth floor of a building on the corner of the street. Downstairs is the subway station, which is covered with small advertisements for various restaurants and bars. It is also the entrance of the building.
Only through a narrow aisle can you get to the ticket gate of Yannami Cinema, and everything seems to be to keep moviegoers out of the cinema.
It was also the first time for Naoki Naoyama to come here. Under the guidance of the signboard on the street corner, he managed to find the ticket office. He also got a sorting ticket before walking to the elevator beside him. The theater is on the tenth floor~
When I got out of the elevator, I saw that there were already many people waiting in the lobby. The movie stars Yuki Saito and Kojiro Shimizu were familiar, and Masataka Komori was also there.
Shuichi Yitang not far in front was respectfully chatting with two gray-haired people. Seeing this situation, Naoki Yongshan instinctively wanted to avoid him, but Xiuichi Yitang saw his figure with a sharp glance, and was very surprised. Happy to wave:
"Naoki-san, you're here! Come here!"
Naoki Yongshan reluctantly walked between the few people, and heard Shuichi Itou excitedly introduce the old man with glasses next to him:
"Naoki-san, this is my mentor, Professor Yasuchi Machida, a professor of directing at Tokyo University of the Arts. Mr. Machida, this is Naoki Naoyama, the screenwriter, director and producer of today's film."
Naoki Yongshan saw this old man who had helped Shuyou many times, and bowed to say hello: "Mr. Machida, I have heard of you for a long time, but this is the first time we meet. Please give me your advice in the future!"
"Mr. Yongshan, I have heard the name for a long time."
Then Ido Shuichi introduced to the old man in a suit on the other side: "Naoki-san, this is Mr. Iwanami Yujiro, the president of Iwanami Bookstore and this Iwanami Cinema. President Iwanami, this is our tree friend Naoki Naoki, the president of the movie."
Naoki Naoyama had to bow again: "President Iwanami, this is the first time we meet, please give me your advice!"
"President Yongshan, please give me your advice in the future!"
After the tedious meeting ceremony was completed, I was finally able to speak more easily.
Machida Yasuchi and Iwanami Yujiro are obviously good friends, and at this time he said to Iwanami Yujiro: "Yujiro, this young man is the screenwriter and producer of "The Tale of Hachiko", which has recently become popular in "The Convenience Store Robbery Incident" Oh, according to my students, I also participated in a large part when directing and editing."
"Oh? I thought Yitang-kun was the leader."
Shuichi Ido did not claim credit at this time, but said with a smile: "Mr. Machida is praising me. In fact, Naoki-san played a major role in both movies. It can be said that without him, there would be no two movies." The birth of the movie."
Naoki Yongshan quickly waved his hand: "Shuichi-san is too modest. Without Xiuyi-sang's superb directing skills, the movie would not have been made. I just provided some ideas."
"Hahaha, you two, don't give way to each other, the birth of a movie requires the joint efforts of the crew~" Machida Yasuchi laughed,
At this time, several people heard the command of the theater staff: "The top ten guests who have sorted out the tickets, please go in first."
Iwanami Yujiro then looked at his pocket watch, "It's almost time, let's go in and sit down."
After talking, he led Machida Yasuchi in, and looked at the numbers they showed when they checked the tickets, No. 1 and No. 2. Sure enough, the boss has privileges, and the first two are reserved for himself.
Naoki Naoyama was the last one to come, of course he was the last batch, but he saw that some people he knew also came, such as the director Masaki Kobayashi who is always gay in Gay
Why do I see him every preview?
There are only about 200 seats in the small venue, but there are less than 100 people sitting in it, so every movie viewer can choose the seat he likes.
As the lights dimmed, a gray-blue color appeared on the screen, accompanied by undulating waves and gray-white spray, a surfboard floated on the sea water with the waves.
The male and female protagonists who can't speak, the love that accompany quietly, the few lines, and the ethereal and distant soundtrack.
In the melody of "Silent Love", the movie ended, and the atmosphere of the movie seemed to be infected in the venue, and there was a touch of sadness in the calm.
After a long time, as an audience applauded, the entire venue burst into applause, which was the appreciation of the film from the film lovers present.
From the audience's reaction, it can be seen that "That Summer, The Tranquil Sea" is very good. Except for those who were invited, most of the audience did not leave after the movie, and they also wanted to know what happened next. interview session.
As the theater staff quickly arranged the posters and banners, the routine interviews began after the preview.
This time Naoki Nagayama was interviewed on stage as the director, and Masataka Komori and other leading actors stood on both sides,
Although it is not the first time, but seeing more than ten microphones, I am still a little nervous.
Fortunately, the host Masataka Komori found was a familiar one, and he was familiar with joking with the reporters in the audience, and then guided the interaction smoothly,
"Okay, friends from the press, if you have any questions, you can directly ask Director Yongshan!"
The host pointed to a reporter among the many hands raised: "Director Yongshan, the movie "That Summer, The Tranquil Sea" is really good, you are the screenwriter and director of this movie, you can be said to be the director of the movie. Main creator, how did you come up with the idea of making such a movie?"
"Uh..." Naoki Naoyama thought about his own motives, and just thought about it and took it? Surely you can't say, "Do you know when you're diving?"
The reporter was stunned, how could he ask back questions during the interview? "know a little."
"At that time, I had just returned from a trip to Hawaii, surfing and snorkeling every day. When I dived to the bottom of the sea, I found the tranquility and turbulent undercurrent under the blue surface of the sea, so I wanted to make a quiet but intense movie. "
"What kind of emotion is the most intense? Love, of course."
Naoki Naoyama seems to want to tell his thinking process of making movies from a purely objective point of view, but this answer is not what the reporter wants!
Even if you meet a real deaf-mute couple, it's good to be touched! In this way, we also have the content of the story to write!
The reporter couldn't help but interrupted the answer: "Thank you Director Yongshan for your answer, I have one more question!"
"Hi, please."
"As far as I know, director Yongshan was born in a city by the sea, and there are a lot of seascape shots in the movie. Does such a seaside movie have anything to do with childhood experiences?"
Naoki Yongshan shook his head: "It doesn't matter."
"Then why are you taking pictures of the sea?"
"Uh, the island of Japan is so small and surrounded by the sea, why not take pictures of the sea?"
The reporter choked, "Ah, that's it."
Signaled the host to ask the next person to ask questions, and then other reporters saw the essence of Naoki Naoki's topic terminator, and they all threw the question to other main creators,
For example, Masataka Komori, is this the first time editing?
Saito Yuki, is it the first time to lead the role?
Kojiro Shimizu, how does it feel to work with director Nagayama for the first time?
A few questions in succession restored the atmosphere of the preview interview to what it should be. When the fans interacted, many reporters actually turned their microphones to the auditorium.
Because the people who come to watch at the Iwanami Theater are basically senior film lovers, and those invited are even well-known figures in the film industry.
The host directly handed the microphone to Iwanami Yujiro who stretched out his hand,
"Mr. Yongshan, I noticed that in the subtitles at the end of the movie, the original soundtrack of the movie is called "Silent Love", and the creator wrote it by Naoki Yongshan?"
"Hi, I created this piece of music." Naoki Yongshan nodded embarrassedly.
Yujiro Iwanami exclaimed: "The movie is a masterpiece, and the soundtrack is also a masterpiece by Mr. Nagayama! This movie is really the biggest surprise of this year!"
"Arigado~President Iwanami is really too generous!"
Naoki Yongshan bowed to the old man to thank him. His words made the movie's box office rise by at least 10%!
And the reporters frantically pressed the shutter, with the comments of this boss, today's news has a selling point!
The subsequent interview process was very active, and there were many questions from the audience, but they were generally appreciative of the film.
The simple interview lasted for half an hour, which almost delayed the next movie, but judging by the attitude of the boss, this "That Summer, The Tranquil Sea" should be screened in the next three months.
Itou Shuichi had to accompany his teacher, and Komori Masataka also had to do some finishing work on the screening, but director Naoki Naoyama had nothing to do, and separated from the two leading actors after the show.
After seeing off Kojiro Shimizu at the entrance of the theater, Naoki Naoyama and Yuki Saito were talking:
"Yuki-chan, do you want to go back directly?".
The little girl who had just finished her first media interview was still excited and said excitedly, "Hey, take the subway directly, and then transfer back to Yokohama."
Naoki Yongshan looked at the sky, and it was still a long time before noon: "It's rare to come to Tokyo once, why don't you go shopping?"
Saito Yuki shook his head: "It's not interesting to go shopping alone."
Glancing at Naoki Yongshan quietly, seeing that he didn't intend to answer, he slandered: "Shouldn't a boy say at this time, 'Then shall I accompany you?' What a fool!"
Naoki Yongshan looked at the little girl who was silent, and finally answered: "That's right! Going alone is really boring! But after Yougui moves to the staff dormitory of the GG office, you can talk to the wild cat three The sisters are out shopping together!"
"Hehe, what Naoki-san said is true~"
"Sa, in that case, Yuki-chan should go to the station first, and I'll excuse you~" Naoki Yongshan walked away gracefully, leaving a young and beautiful girl alone at the subway entrance.
Saito Yuki stomped his feet angrily, turned and left unwillingly~
It was not until noon, and Naoki Naoyama was not in a hurry to go home. He came to Jimbocho once in a while, and he also wanted to buy a few books to use when he went back to pass the time.
Walking slowly, Naoki Yongshan walked through the alley. Under the warm autumn sun, he could see the owner of the bookstore taking out the books in the store and selling them at the door of the store, and drying them by the way.
Pedestrians coming and going stop and watch from time to time, and they will pick up and flip through a few pages when they see those who are interested.
In addition to books, there are also poetry collections and pictorials. Naoki Yongshan even saw old clip books and other items, which are almost the same as the second-hand market.
Basically all bookstores have their own "Love Letter" in the best-seller recommendation section.
Naoki Yongshan strolled leisurely on the street with a bag in his hand, picked out some pictorials, and bought two British poetry collections.
Although Jimbocho is full of bookstores and coffee shops, it does not mean that there are no other shops. There are quite a few shops that should be found in other commercial streets.
After walking for a while, I heard a familiar melody from the record store,
Take a closer look, there is still a poster hanging at the door,
Nakamori Akina's new single "Second Love" has been officially released!
Naoki Yongshan didn't go into the store to buy it, because Akina would definitely send him a record,
Looking at the girl with a thick bun and a bright smile on the poster, Naoki Naoyama also smiled. It will be Halloween in a few days, so give her an interesting gift~
