Chapter 612 620, April, the Playboy Naoki Announces His Relationship? !

As April approaches, cherry blossoms have officially entered their most prosperous season. Falling petals can be seen everywhere in Tokyo, and the entire city seems to be covered in a layer of pink, just like the scene in the comics.

At the same time, Yoshie Kashiwahara's "さくら~あなたに出会えてよかった~ (Sakura Sakura Wants to See You)" was once again echoing in the record store.

This song will return to people's attention as the cherry blossoms bloom every year. At that time, it was directly given to Yoshie Kashihara. Philips Records made a lot of money, but fortunately Naoki Nagayama's studio also got a share.

This year, record store owners seem to have a lot more choices.

In addition to Junko Ito's "桜色马うころ(When the Cherry Blossoms Are Flying)", there is actually another very, very new song.

In particular, record stores near campus like to use this song as a loop - "Sakura". It is a song that combines cherry blossoms with the farewell of going to school. The new singer's sweet voice has a sad voice. It is really It’s so in line with the island country’s sense of cherry blossoms!

In order to promote "April Story" in advance, Shuyou Group released this song sung by Momoko Kikuchi together with the trailer of "April Story".

When the audience in front of the TV suddenly discovered such a beautiful movie trailer, they were immediately surprised.

"which movie is this?"

"It's so beautiful!" "The song is also nice!"

"Naoki Nagayama? That guy!"

"When will it be released? Where will it be released?"

Many attracted viewers are looking for other information about "April Story", and Naoki Nagayama is also happy to reveal the information bit by bit, while keeping the audience's interest, while stepping up preparations for the release.

And today, he came to Iwanami Cinema, where the preview screening of "April Story" was about to be held.

At this subway entrance-like entrance, there are movie posters for "April Story". Following the slightly gray corridor to the ticket gate, you can see a large preview screening banner.

Naturally, Nagayama Naoki came here early and was chatting with the owner of Iwanami Cinema, Iwanami Jiro.

Jiro Iwanami is a middle-aged man in his 40s. Although the Iwanami family's main business is actually a bookstore, this theater has a certain relationship with Toho Towa, so even if it is not very profitable, it will not be closed.

"Naoki-san, is this movie only one hour long?" Iwanami Jiro asked curiously, "Why is it so different from the previous movies?"

"Because the best part has already been filmed, if it is too long it will look a bit bloated."

Nagayama Naoki explained that this movie is a snapshot of youth. There is a large amount of blank space before the heroine Uzuki comes to Tokyo and after she meets her crush, just to give the audience room to imagine.

"That's really exciting." Iwanami Jiro smiled, "By the way, how many people did Naoki-san invite to watch today?"

"Apart from people from the media, there are only some friends in the film industry and some other friends." Naoki Nagayama actually invited Masaki Kobayashi and Masahiro Shinoda over this time.

This movie is a bit different from the current movie trends, and he wanted the two friends to experience it.

While the two were talking, waves of people came in from the entrance. Although Naoki Nagayama did not specifically promote the preview, many people in the film industry still came here after hearing that it was his movie.

Nagayama Naoki could only act like a greeter, bowing and saying hello to the audience who came.

"Naoki-san! Long time no see~"

Suddenly, a familiar person appeared in front of me. Freelance reporter Matsuzawa Shinnosuke was here again.

After the blue ribbon award, he temporarily put aside his obsession with Naoki Nagayama. However, someone actually photographed him in a nightclub some time ago, and it was related to the underworld. This suddenly made him rekindle his obsession with Naoki Nagayama. read.

So when he heard that Naoki Nagayama had a new movie, he rushed over immediately.

"Ah, you are Matsuzawa Shinosuke-san!" Nagayama Naoki thought for a moment before remembering his name, "Long time no see! I haven't seen you much in the entertainment industry recently~ Is everything okay?"

Regarding this reporter, Naoki Nagayama only remembered that his questions were very sharp, and he had followed Shuyou very much since the first movie, and he was considered an acquaintance~

Matsuzawa Shinnosuke didn't expect Naoki Nagayama to say hello so enthusiastically, and he was even touched for a moment. He considered himself Naoki Nagayama's mortal enemy!

But he quickly shook his head to dispel his thoughts. All this was just a disguise on the surface of Naoki Nagayama. He didn't believe that such a carefree guy with a gang background could be so harmless on the surface!

"Haha, I've been busy with other things recently, but I heard that Naoki-san has a new movie, so I came over right away!"

"Thank you so much~ It is the support of media friends like Shinosuke-san that gives me the motivation to continue making movies."

Nagayama Naoki's scenes are so smooth that one can't find any groove. This makes Matsuzawa Shinnosuke feel more and more that this guy is a deep-minded guy, he must be in his early twenties! ! !

At this moment, two girls suddenly came to the entrance, one of them wearing a very wide hat.

After Naoki Nagayama saw it, he nodded to Matsuzawa Shinosuke and hurriedly greeted him.

"Naoki-san!" Akina Nakamori smiled as she approached, "I'm coming~"

"Akina~ and Maki-chan. Did you have a smooth journey?"

This preview, of course, was intended for Akina to be the first to see.

"Hi, I came directly from the magazine." Akina Nakamori looked at her boyfriend in front of her and was very happy, her tone was also very cheerful, "No one noticed on the road!"

"That's really amazing~"

My girlfriend is currently very famous in Japan, at least almost all young people know her.

At the entrance, it was inconvenient to say more, Naoki Nagayama led the two people directly into the screening room, sat in the second row, and could watch the movie together later.

What he didn't know was that the intimate interaction between the two was clearly seen by a pair of eyes in the dark.

Shinnosuke Matsuzawa saw it, and it seemed that the relationship between Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori was much closer than everyone thought! !

Naoki Nagayama returned to the entrance and continued to welcome people from all walks of life. Some of them were strangers, and some were just ordinary movie lovers, but he expressed his sincere gratitude to all of them.

As directors in the industry such as Masaki Kobayashi and Masahiro Shinoda gradually came, the screening time of "April Story" also arrived.

Naoki Nagayama came in last and sat in the second row, next to Akina Nakamori.

The lights in the screening room gradually dimmed, and as soft music sounded, a moving truck slowly drove over from the street with cherry blossoms.

A lot of cherry blossoms fell on the high-end wedding car beside the road, and the driver had to take out a duster to gently sweep them away. On the other side of the road, a wedding procession was slowly coming over, and the bride in white wedding clothes crossed the middle of the road with a smile under the slowly falling cherry blossoms.

Both the lens and the composition are full of quiet beauty, bringing people directly into the cherry blossom season in April~

The moment the audience in the screening room saw this lens of road, cherry blossoms, bride, and white wedding clothes, they felt the impact of "beauty".

Naoki Nagayama felt his girlfriend next to him gently holding his hand.

The next shot transition was very smooth, and the whole picture was very soft. When Momoko Kikuchi's front appeared on the big screen for the first time, Naoki Nagayama heard some people's soft shouts.

After the busy moving process, Momoko Kikuchi, wearing a light blue sweater, shook a bunch of petals from her pocket. Such a beautiful shot made the audience present remember it deeply.

"April Story" is a quiet movie with few lines and the heroine is also introverted.

However, the long shots and clever editing of the movie use rich lens language to make the whole movie not look pale, and vividly show the shyness and innocence of a female college student who has just stepped into Tokyo.

When the heroine was scared to forget her bicycle and had to go back to get it when she saw the lovers kissing on the bench, the audience laughed.

There is pure music in the background of the whole movie, and as the plot develops, it seems to show the heroine's mood.

Most of the time, it was soothing and relaxed, but when the heroine Uzuki Yuye met her secret crush, Yamazaki, she began to become more hurried.

Uzuki Yuye's emotions were restrained and sensitive, until the sudden rainstorm, which contributed the only emotional shot in the whole movie.

Under the heavy rain, Uzuki Yuye looked at Yamazaki, who was looking for an umbrella for him, and couldn't help but say:

"Senior, are you still playing in the band?"

"No. But how did you know?"

"Because. Because the senior is very famous!"

"Huh? Are you lying?"

"To me, yes!"

The wet raindrops flowed down her hair to her face, making Uzuki Yuye's youthful and moving cheeks look a little embarrassed, but the emotions in her heart were encouraged by the sound of rain around her.

In the sound of the wind and the sound of the rain, she condensed her secret love for Yamazaki in a few words.

The red umbrella looked so vivid in the cold picture, just like the secret love in the memory of youth.

This is a movie about secret love, but the relationship is not made clear until the end. It's just that Ueno Uzuki hides under the eaves and looks into the distance in the rain, as if she is gazing at a happy future~

The one-hour movie seems to end very quickly, and the audience is not very excited to discuss it, but the more they think about it, the more they feel that the scenes emerge in their hearts.

It's like drinking a refreshing and sweet cocktail in the bar. I didn't feel anything at the time, but after walking out of the bar, I felt dizzy.

"Naoki-san, is this "April Story" a commemoration of your youth?!" In the subsequent media interview stage, a reporter really asked, "Did you come to Tokyo because you have a crush on someone?!"

This guy definitely means something!

Naoki Nagayama smiled. He was a die-hard fan of Yamaguchi Momoe, and he couldn't get rid of the fact~

So he avoided answering:

"The so-called secret love is a beautiful emotion that all teenagers have had, but some people are brave enough to express it, while others keep it in their hearts. As a director, I am fortunate to show this emotion on the big screen."

The host passed the microphone to the next person, who was unexpectedly Matsuzawa Shinnosuke. He asked with a smile on his face:

"Naoki-san, the protagonist of this movie is sensitive and introverted, and is very restrained in his emotions, which seems to be inconsistent with your style as a director."

"Did you encounter any difficulties during the filming?"

Not consistent with me? Does it mean that I am very open to emotions? Naoki Naoyama complained in his heart. He seemed to have a bad image in the eyes of the outside world. But since he was asked, he still had to explain.

"Ahem!" Tactically coughed, "Shinosuke-san, don't joke. Those other rumors are just media speculations. I am very serious about my current relationship!"

"Oh? Who is Naoki-san dating? Can you reveal who it is?" "Inside or outside the circle?" "Have you worked together?"

"How long have you been dating?" "Are you planning to get married?"

Naoki Naoyama's answer immediately attracted the interest of many reporters. The gossip about a big director is more eye-catching than the old-fashioned movie reports. Even without a microphone, they asked questions enthusiastically.

Matsuzawa Shinosuke asked provocatively: "Did you come to the preview today?"

He turned around and looked around~

Fortunately, Akina had already left quietly with the audience at this time, otherwise she would have been exposed under the sharp eyes of so many reporters!

Naoki Nagayama was asked at this time and had to answer:

"Hi, I am indeed in a relationship~"

"Can you tell me who it is?" "Is it in the circle?" "How is the relationship now?" "Are you living together?" "Are you planning to get married?" "When will you have children? How many children?".

The reporters became more and more excited, as if they were going to dig out Naoki Nagayama's other half and live together, get married and have a second child immediately.

But Naoki Nagayama did not continue to indulge them: "I will announce my relationship to everyone at the appropriate time. Don't worry, we will not get married secretly."

In fact, Naoki Nagayama is fine, but if Akina Nakamori wants to get married, she must issue a statement, otherwise if she suddenly disappears, the fans will be furious!

"Please focus on the movie April Story next!"

After saying this many times, the reporters asked about the movie.

"The biggest difficulty of this movie is actually to complete the filming in two weeks!" Naoki Nagayama explained, "Because the cherry blossoms only bloom for about a month, so in this regard, I started shooting all the scenes of cherry blossoms flying when the first cherry blossom bloomed, and they were all shot in a short time."

Naoki Nagayama on the stage was talking about the movie, but the reporters below the stage began to think about the title of today's evening paper.

Should it be called "The Secret Love of Naoki Hanako" or "Surprise! Naoki Nagayama's Relationship Announced!"? Or "In April, Naoki Hanako announced his relationship?!"

It's really annoying.
