Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 337
This is not the first time for Hitomi Kuroki to join a movie crew.

But in the past, they were all small-scale grass-roots teams.

The main actors are also not famous.

She herself also played some small roles with few scenes, or even just background panels.

But this movie called "Tokyo Love Song" is completely different.

The crew, which is co-operated by Yunyi Pictures and Kadokawa Pictures, is very formal in its operation.

Especially on the staff.

The staff of Kadokawa Pictures is just fine, and it has a somewhat traditional film club feel.

But the cloud-based animation is completely different.

Often there is no need to look at the name badge. You can easily tell which employee of Yunying Pictures is based on their behavior style.

The competence and professionalism of Yunying Animation's employees are clearly visible to the naked eye.

It can be seen from the quality of these employees that the rise of cloud-based animation in a short period of time is definitely not due to luck.

The advantage of being a latecomer makes Yunying Pictures completely different from old studios. It is an extremely modern professional club.

Of course, outstanding young people will inevitably have a little arrogance in them.

This also resulted in some unpleasantness often occurring when cooperating with Kadokawa's people.

And this can be considered an old tradition.

Fortunately, the person who supervised this film was Ima Kazutani, who had previously become famous with "Boys Over Flowers".

Otherwise, it would really be impossible to suppress the "proud soldiers and brave generals" sent by the headquarters.

After all, after the last "Songzhu Department Cleanup Incident", Yunying Pictures completely divided the rights of the director in the crew.

Each director no longer has a traditional direct team.

But Jin Yitani can suppress ordinary employees.

But some people give them a headache.

January 29th.

Hitomi Kuroki took the cast shuttle bus of Cloud Cinema and arrived at today’s filming location.

It is also the film and television base of NHK TV station.

As soon as she got out of the car, she saw a white RV approaching from a short distance away.

The RV stopped not far from the shuttle bus, and then Kuroki Hitomi saw a girl wearing a red coat and a woolen hat walking out.

Of course I know this girl Kuroki Hitomi.

The heroine of this movie is Yasuko Sawaguchi.

She became popular a year ago with "Soy Sauce's Daughter Axiang".

After that, there are no works that can be called exports.

And Yasuko Sawaguchi doesn’t seem to be very ambitious.

Not only is it rarely exposed in the media, but he also participates in very few shooting projects.

She is not like the kind of female artist who desperately takes on roles after becoming popular.

In this movie, the other party plays a rich girl who comes to Tokyo to study at university, but ends up falling in love with her teacher.

In the play, Yasuko Sawaguchi is a rich girl.

Outside the play, this person's appearance is also quite impressive.

Whenever I go out on location, I always drive an RV.

Not only did he have two assistants waiting on him at all times, he didn't even eat lunch from the crew.

Because they have a private chef cooking in their RV.

At this moment, Yasuko Sawaguchi had just gotten out of the RV.

Two assistants immediately followed from the RV.

Help him hold chairs, kettles, makeup boxes and other items in his hands.

After a few days, Kuromu Tong was already used to this scene.

No one on the crew dared to make irresponsible remarks.

After all, the gossip she heard from the crew said that Yasuko Sawaguchi had a close relationship with Hideki Hanyu.

Judging from the other party's behavior, the news is very close.

There is no support from the big boss of Yunshang Department.

Why would a young actor with no background dare to be so "rampant" on the scene?

This kind of thing should be left to ordinary artists.

Someone has long revealed that he disrespects his seniors.

However, although Yasuko Sawaguchi likes to have fun, she is still relatively professional in her attitude towards work.

In the past few days, Kuroki Hitomi and Sawaguchi Yasuko have also filmed several scenes.

No problems occurred during this period.

On the contrary, because she was a Takarazuka musical performer, she tends to bring some stage style to her performances.

Therefore, it often leads to NG during the play.

In this regard, Yasuko Sawaguchi did not show any impatience, but patiently accompanied her to reshoot over and over again.

If I remember correctly, today was the first time we filmed a scene with the male and female protagonists opposite each other.

Kuroki Hitomi was ready to take a good look.

After all, the leading actor Tofu Kazama is a senior who has won the Neon Film Academy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor twice.

The other party graduated from Waseda University in the early 70s. He had a bad experience in the early days and spent several years filming pink movies in Nikkatsu.

Later, it gradually developed into the field of feature films. In the late 70s and 80s, it began to become famous.

"March of Kamata" and "Yanghui Tower" have made it highly praised in the industry.

Last year, she won a high ratings of over 20.00% by starring in the TV series "The Mystery of a Girl's Life".

Thinking of this, Kuromu Tong felt a little complicated in her heart.

Because he found that these works shot by Tofu Kazama seemed to be related to Hideki Hanyu.

Keiko Matsuzaka of "March of Kamata" is Hanyu Hideki's ex-girlfriend.

The heroine of "The Mystery of the Girl's Life" is Kyoko Koizumi.

After she came to Tokyo to pursue her career, she heard from many people that this female idol who was highly praised by the Burning Department also had an unclear relationship with Hideki Hanyu.

In fact, there is no need to describe it as unclear.

After all, Koizumi Kyoko drove Hanyu Hideki's supercar to work more than once, and too many people saw it.

And now in this drama, the heroine is Yasuko Sawaguchi.

After the man separated from her, he seemed to become more and more strange.

I was thinking about some things I had and things I didn’t have.

Kuroki Hitomi didn't stop, seizing the time to rush towards the place where makeup was put on.

Yasuko Sawaguchi had the support of Hideki Hanyu, so even if he made a mistake at the scene, no one would dare to say anything.

But she had to be careful. If she delayed the filming, she would definitely be reprimanded by the supervisor.

Now as the second heroine Kuroki Hitomi, she no longer needs to squeeze in makeup with ordinary actors.

Instead, together with the other main actors, they have their own makeup vans.

It's just that she has a special scene today, she has a falling into water scene to film.

So I didn’t need to put on makeup at the beginning. Instead, I went to the scene to shoot the scene of falling into the water, and then changed my clothes and touched up my makeup.

In Tokyo in January, the temperature is still very cold.

She had a very hard time filming this scene.

After she fell into the water for the first time, supervisor Imitani felt dissatisfied and asked her to do it again.

After she came out of the water after the two shootings were completed, her teeth, which were already cold, could not stop trembling.

Fortunately, the on-site staff was well prepared and put a blanket on her in time, and then sent her into the makeup truck to change clothes.

Even so, Kuroki Hitomi didn't have much rest time.

After putting on dry clothes and applying makeup, she hurried towards the scene.

After all, filming is still going on.

No one will wait for her just because she did the drowning scene.

But this time, when Kuroki Hitomi arrived at the scene.

But I found that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit weird.

No one was filming.

The male protagonist Tofu Kazama sat in the waiting area with a strange expression.

The staff and other artists were talking quietly while quietly looking into the distance.

Kuroki Hitomi followed everyone's gaze.

I found that not far away, the film director Ima Kazutani was talking to Yasuko Sawaguchi alone.

Although I can't hear what I'm saying.

But it can be easily judged from the expressions of the two people during the conversation.

It seems that Imitani is trying to persuade Yasuko Sawaguchi.

But Yasuko Sawaguchi looked like I wouldn’t agree.

Either shake his head or say nothing at all.

Soon, Kuroki Hitomi saw Ichitani and scratched his hair helplessly.

Then he walked back directly and said to everyone on the scene, "All the scenes with the male and female protagonists today are cancelled. We will shoot other things first. The set manager... the set manager will coordinate the venue!"

At this time, Kuroki Hitomi saw that Yasuko Sawaguchi in the distance did not return to the scene at all, but walked straight towards the parking lot.

……

The entrance to a teahouse in Shinjuku.

Hideki Hanyu said goodbye to a middle-aged man.

"This cooperation with Intel was possible thanks to the great help of Director Tomoda." "Chairman Hanyu is so polite. Everyone is here for the better development of the Shining Research Institute."

This director from Mitsui Banking Corporation has a very fake smile.

After taking the other person into the car and leaving.

Hanyu Hideki breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was finally done.

In the past few days, with the help of Mitsui Banking Director Tomoda, Toshiba agreed to the cooperation between The Shining Research Institute and Intel.

Next, it is only necessary to reach an agreement on the relevant conditions, and the cooperation can proceed.

Hanyu Hideki certainly hopes that the sooner the better.

After all, it’s 1986 already.

The semiconductor agreement between America and Neon is about to be signed.

Next, America will take action against Toshiba.

When the Shining Research Institute has cooperation with Intel, it will basically not be involved.

After finishing this matter, Hanyu Hideki saw that it was still early, so he took the car directly to Yunshang Entertainment.

Hirohashi Asako told him that today is the day when Nakamori Akina’s personal label was established.

Since everything was fine, of course he wanted to congratulate him.

Moreover, we had previously made an appointment to go skiing in Switzerland, so we decided on the departure time.

But when he arrived at Yunshang Entertainment, he found that a large number of reporters were leaving.

Apparently the press conference for the establishment of Akina Nakamori's personal label has ended.

But it doesn't matter, he didn't plan to show up.

It's easy to deal with reporters.

Entering the Yunshang Entertainment building, Hanyu Hideki inquired about it before rushing towards the floor where Yunshang Music was located.

There, I saw everyone who had just finished the press conference.

There were Asako Hirohashi, Mito Iijima, Katsuhito Matsushita, the president of Yunshang Music, Akina Nakamori, and representatives from Warner Pioneer.

According to what Asako Hirohashi told him before.

This time, Yunshang Music holds the absolute controlling stake in Akina Nakamori’s personal label.

Akina Nakamori holds 5.00% of the shares.

The remaining shares belong to Warner Pioneer.

Warner Pioneer will naturally not be satisfied with this distribution method.

But the problem was that Nakamori Akina's record contract expired in 1987.

Warner Pioneer didn’t want to lose this cash cow, so it had no choice but to agree to Cloud Entertainment’s conditions.

Of course, Yunshang Music didn’t pay nothing.

As the leading party, Yunshang Music paid a large sum of money to Warner Pioneer before Warner Pioneer agreed to transfer Akina Nakamori’s previous music copyrights to her personal label.

When everyone saw Hanyu Hideki arriving, they came over to say hello.

Although Nakamori Akina hasn't seen Hanyu Hideki for a long time.

I have a lot of love thoughts to talk about.

But because there were too many people around, I couldn't express my feelings.

After everyone finished chatting, Hirohashi Asako asked Hanyu Hideki.

"There is a celebration party for Akina-chan tonight. Do you want to attend, Hanyu-san?"

Hanyu Hideki thought that he had nothing else to do at night, so he nodded and said, "Let's go together."

And just when Hanyu Hideki had just agreed, everyone agreed to meet in the evening.

A figure hurriedly walked in.

He is the head of the photography studio division of Yunying Animation.

After the other party entered the door, he went straight to Guangqiao Asako.

But when he saw Hanyu Hideki was there, his expression couldn't help but froze.

Then he spoke directly, "President Hirohashi, President Hanyu, I have something to report to you individually."

Hearing this, Hideki Hanyu glanced at Asako Hirohashi.

Then the two left together in a tacit understanding, taking the head of the photography studio's business department with them and borrowing a reception room from Yunshang Music.

"Tell me now, what's going on?" Hanyu Hideki asked.

Judging from the other party's performance just now.

Originally, I was looking for Hirohashi Asako, but after I found out that he was also there, I called him temporarily.

Then this matter is probably related to him.

He couldn't say it publicly, so Hideki Hanyu was curious about what happened.

"The thing is like this, this morning at the NHK photography base, we were co-producing a movie with Kadokawa Pictures..."

After a while, the head of the photography studio's business department finished speaking.

Hirohashi Asako looked at Hanyu Hideki and said in a helpless tone, "Hanyu-san, you decide this matter."

Why let Hideki Hanyu decide?

The reason is simple, because only Hideki Hanyu can decide on this matter.

In the morning, it was the crew of the movie starring Kuroki Hitomi, starring Yasuko Sawaguchi and Toyo Kazama.

When Yasuko Sawaguchi was filming her first scene opposite Todo Kazama, she had a dispute with the actor and refused to perform.

Supervisor Jin Gu tried his best to persuade her to no avail, so she had no choice but to suspend the filming of the scenes between the male and female protagonists.

As for the reason why Sawaguchi Yasuko refused to perform, it was because the male protagonist Tofu Kazama had touched her.

But the leading actor Tofu Kazama was also aggrieved, saying that he just acted according to the script.

Moreover, what Sawaguchi Yasuko called "moving hands and feet" was just that he just wanted to hug the other person's waist.

Hanyu Hideki did not make a decision immediately, but directly said to the person in charge, "Go and get the script and cast list of this play."

"Yes." The person in charge left.

At this time, Hanyu Hideki was very satisfied with Sawaguchi Yasuko's reaction in his heart.

Although she refused to perform just because she hugged her waist, it seemed a bit fussy.

But this was also the reason why he was satisfied with Yasuko Sawaguchi.

Because this girl knows what's more important.

As for why he wanted the script, he just wanted to make sure that what Tofu Kazama said was true.

If it was really what the script required, he would naturally not be able to do anything to others.

But if Kazama Du Fu simply has his own thoughts...

Then don't blame him for being rude.

After the head of the photography studio's business department left, he quickly returned with the script and actor information.

Hideki Hanyu took the script and asked the other party which scene was being filmed today.

After looking at it carefully, I couldn't help but frown.

how to say.

The script of this plot is not very detailed.

It's the kind of role that requires actors to perform on their own.

In this case, if he did anything against Kazama Du Fu, it would seem like he was bullying the small.

At this time, Hirohashi Asako also took the information and started reading it.

However, compared to the script, Hirohashi Asako showed a surprised expression when he saw the cast list.

Because she saw a familiar name.

Hitomi Kuroki.

She couldn't help but look at Hanyu Hideki, wondering if the two of them were getting back together again?
After noticing the look in Hirohashi Asako's eyes, Hanyu Hideki immediately explained, "I didn't know she was on this crew, it was Mijima Iijima who helped arrange it."

As a result, I got a look from Asako Hirohashi that I didn't believe at all.

Hey……

Hanyu Hideki was very helpless. He had been a playboy for a long time and no one believed him even if he said some things.

But now is not the time to think about Kuroki Hitomi.

Let’s deal with Yasuko Sawaguchi’s matter first.

He looked at the script and then at the cast list.

Then he directly told the person in charge of the photography studio's business department, "Let the screenwriting department revise the script and swap the male lead's role with that of the second male lead, so that the second male lead will play opposite Yasuko Sawaguchi."

"This..." The person in charge sounded a little surprised.

This is equivalent to directly pushing Tofu Kazama from the male lead in the first series to the position of the second series.

A small question, will Hanyu Hideki's reaction be too big?

Hanyu Hideki frowned and asked, "What? Do you have any objections?"

Now that this happened, it also involved his woman.

Then he will respond appropriately.

So what if Dufu Kazama was wronged?

You can only count the other party as unlucky.

"I just want to say that Tofu Kazama was appointed by Kadokawa, and the script was also provided by Kadokawa Pictures. If we change it without authorization..."

Before the person in charge finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Hanyu Hideki, "Do as I say. If Kadokawa has any objections, just say it was my order and ask them to come to me."

When Hideki Hanyu said this, he glanced at Hitomi Kuroki's name on the cast list.

Thinking that after the change of actors, Tofu Kazama would play opposite Hitomi Kuroki, he gave another mysterious warning.

"Also, let the screenwriting department write the script clearly and remove all the intimate scenes of the characters. Since it is a pure love movie, it should be simple."

The person in charge didn't dare to question Hanyu Hideki's decision, so he could only nod in agreement.
