Tokyo Bubble Life

Since the Maetori Shrine in Kanagawa is dedicated to the **** in charge of literature, it is usually synonymous with purity except during the exam season. However, recently, the originally quiet courtyard has suddenly become lively.

Small tents were set up in the open space of the front hall. Under the blue or red tents, there were stalls selling trinkets, vendors playing shooting games, and charcoal grills for barbecue, taiyaki and takoyaki. The cart also has shaved ice, apple candy, chocolate banana, etc.~

Tents are clustered on both sides of the Shinto, leaving only a not-so-wide aisle in the middle. Tourists, some in yukatas and others in T-shirts, are flowing slowly in the aisle, making it seem crowded and lively~

The wisps of green smoke drifting from the sky, together with the incense inside the shrine, fill the entire Maetori Shrine with the smell of human fireworks, as if it wants to attract the ethereal gods.

When Nagayama Naoki came here with the crew, it was almost evening, which happened to be the busiest time for the summer festival. Nearby residents came here with their families, and the laughter of children and the persuasion of adults could not be heard. .

"What's going on?" Nagayama Naoki was a little confused. "Is there really a summer festival event at Maetori Shrine today?"

Kijima Kyū next to him was also very surprised. He immediately called someone to call Takehiko Takehiko from the prop team:

“Takei-san, please explain to Naoki-san.”

  “?Explain what?”

“Didn’t I ask you to build a venue?” Kijima Kyor said, “Why did it really become a summer festival?”

Takei Takehiko was a little confused: "Didn't Naoki-san say that it should be exactly the same as the real Summer Festival? In addition to the tents borrowed from the shrine, I also went to the market to buy lamps and signs for the Summer Festival. of"

“Then someone came and asked where the venue was, how many bunks there were, whether it was vacant, and whether they wanted to fill in the space, etc.”

“I thought so, after all, the empty Summer Festival would definitely look unreal, so I agreed that they would find someone to come.”

“After that, starting from this afternoon, traders started coming one after another.”

“In the end, I don’t know when, there were customers coming here to hang out. I don’t know why, and there were more and more people.”

“However, this looks more and more like a real summer festival!”

 “Isn’t that right, Naoki-san?!”

Nagayama Naoki looked at Takei Takehiko, who was begging for praise, and fell silent.

 These days, he has been focusing a bit on writing the script. He only paid attention to it during filming and did not pay too much attention to other details, let alone setting up the location far away in Kanagawa.

 He ​​was a little unclear whether his subordinate was too serious and took his words as the highest requirement, or whether he was too slow and turned a fake event into a real summer festival.

“Hahaha, European model series~ European model series~”

 Kitano Takeshi heard the whole process from the side and was very surprised at the result of such nonsense. He looked at the scene that was exactly the same as other summer festivals and couldn't help but applaud.

“Naoki-san, you planned a summer festival in Kanagawa!”

Tanaka Yuko was also holding Naoto Fujiki beside her, smiling happily. If it hadn’t been for the filming requirements, he might have taken the young actor to the summer festival by now.

 Why does Naoto Fujiki follow Yuko Tanaka? Compared to a bunch of rough guys, of course I prefer a gentle and beautiful big sister!

Seeing that it had become an established fact, Naoki Nagayama could not say anything. He could only pat Takehiko Takehiko on the shoulder:

“Takei-san, you did a great job. Don’t do it again~”

　　　　???”

Turning to Kijima Xu, he asked: "Kijima-kun, didn't you say that reporters are coming today? Where are they?"

“In the main hall of the shrine, Takei-san placed them there.”

“Okay, let’s go meet them for a while~”

  Matsuzawa Shinnosuke and Shimoda Tomoya, the editor of "Weekly Bunshun", were among a group of reporters, visiting the main hall of Maetori Shrine.

“I didn’t expect Shuyou’s on-set interview to invite so many media.” Shimoda Tomoya looked at the colleagues around him and was a little surprised. There were several acquaintances of him among them.

“After all, he is a well-known director.” Shinnosuke Matsuzawa said casually while looking at the statue, “Didn’t we say before that this movie will compete for the Palme d’Or and the Oscar at the same time, so everyone is curious.”

 “It’s a comedy. It’s very difficult to win awards for comedy.”

Whether it is the Palme d'Or or the Oscars, such film awards, in addition to box office performance, also need to pay attention to the influence and artistry of the film.

 Neither of them has any doubts about the box office. So far, Naoki Nagayama has never made a movie that has not been a hit. This has almost become a consensus in the industry.

However, the social impact and artistic value of comedy are difficult.

 Unless it’s a romantic comedy or black humor? It is indeed easy to win awards for praising love and reflecting reality, but Naoki Nagayama seems to be a children's comedy this time.

The two were chatting nonchalantly, and suddenly Matsuzawa Shinnosuke asked a little strangely:

“Maedori Shrine. Is there such a lively summer festival? I remember it was very clean before?”

“Otherwise Naoki Nagayama wouldn’t have chosen this place as a filming location~” Shimoda Tomoya said with a smile, then turned to ask the priest serving at the nearby shrine, “This summer festival should be specially planned by the shrine, right?”

The priest looked confused:

“Huh? Isn’t this hosted by the crew with you?”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　??

 A group of reporters came over and looked over, which made the young priest a little nervous. The shrine was not big, and he was only caught as a part-time coolie. He was on duty at night.

"Didn't it say that a film crew was coming to film a movie, so the shrine was given a sum of money to rent the venue?" the young priest said, "Didn't that summer festival be set up by the film crew? Aren't those people extras? ?”

　　　　???!!”

 The reporters present immediately smelled the news and looked at the young priest with bright eyes.

At this time, Nagayama Naoki and his party, led by Takei Takehiko, arrived at the main hall of the shrine and saw a group of reporters surrounding the priest asking questions.

“.” Naoki Nagayama fell silent for the third time tonight.

"Did we come at a bad time?" However, as the biggest person in charge, he had to ask, "Everyone seems to be busy."

 “No! You came just in time!”

 Shinnosuke Matsuzawa immediately threw away the young priest after seeing Naoki Nagayama. This is the one who knows everything!

 "Naoki-san, is today's summer festival specially planned by the crew of "Kikujiro's Summer"?"

 “Yes.” Now it’s not the same~

Matsuzawa Shinnosuke continued to ask: "You actually held a summer festival just to take a shot?"

And looking at the level of excitement, it’s almost the same as a small or medium-sized summer festival in Tokyo! This is a third- and fourth-tier city like Hiratsuka City in Kanagawa.

“Hmm, so be it~” Naoki Nagayama answered hesitantly.

 Other reporters asked: "Those tourists are ordinary people, not extras, right?"

"no."

“Why are there so many people coming here? Naoki-san, have you promoted it nearby?”

".I'm not too sure about this." Generally speaking, a small city like Hiratsuka City will only hold one large summer festival in the summer, and it has already been held some time ago.

But this time Naoki Nagayama's crew revealed the news at a market that specializes in selling activity supplies, and also invited many local vendors to set up stalls. How can there be secrets in a small city?

The news of this kind of secret summer festival made the nearby residents very curious. Curiosity leads to care, and care leads to action. In addition, it was Saturday, so they all came with their families to explore, but... I didn’t expect it would be really interesting here, so I called more people.

In the main hall of the shrine, Naoki Nagayama’s answer made the reporters very dissatisfied, but there was nothing they could do.

“Mina-san, we will start shooting the movie in a moment. Before that, you can interview our crew, but you can’t interrupt us until we start shooting.” Naoki Nagayama said to a group of reporters.

 “Can we take photos?” a reporter responded.

 “Okay~” Anyway, it’s only a shot of one scene, and it won’t do much if it’s revealed.

 So, when the crew started to set up the camera, reporters surrounded the creative team and started harassing them.

“Kitano Takeso, how did it feel to work with director Naoki Nagayama?”

 “Ah, I’m very happy~” Kitano Takeshi smiled.

“Mr. Kitano Takeshi, can you tell us about the shooting process?”

 “I was very happy when I was shooting.”

ˆ “.”

 Having been in the entertainment industry for so many years, Takeshi Kitano is extremely familiar with reporters’ questions. However, due to his somewhat sinister character, he will tease reporters when answering.

 Some reporters caught Yuko Tanaka trying to escape:

“Miss Tanaka Yuko, don’t you need to prepare?”

 “No need, my role is over.”

 “Huh? Then why are you still on the set?”

   .Because I have nothing to do, I followed the crew to relax.”

 “Relax?”

The reporter raised his voice. This was the first time he heard that actors would relax in the crew. You must know that the crew is a closed environment. Everyone is here to work. If you want to relax, shouldn't you leave?

“Hi, the filming process of this movie was very interesting. I visited many places with the crew. We even camped in Tianlongchuan a few days ago!”

 “There’s actually camping?!”

 The reporter was even more surprised. Are you here to film a movie, or are you here to enjoy the scenery?

"Yes." Tanaka Yuko looked at the lively summer festival over there, and Fujiki Naoto was a little anxious and said to the reporter, "Private Marseille, I want to go to the market before shooting. If there are still questions. If so, please ask other people."

 Speaking, he took the young actor’s hand and walked towards the crowd~

The reporter who was left behind was confused. This was the first time he met an actor who dared to leave the media behind. I remember that Yuko Tanaka was not like this before!

At other press conferences, when faced with reporters’ annoying questions, they always had a gentle look on their faces and answered them very patiently.

　　Why did Naoki Nagayama become so naive and willful after filming the movie? ? !

 Hateful Naoki Naoki! Give me back the gentle Miss Tanaka!

On Naoki Nagayama’s side, after assigning tasks to the rest of the crew, he was entangled by Shinnosuke Matsuzawa.

"Naoki-san, we are already so familiar. Please tell me the real relationship between you and Akina Nakamori! Are you dating? To what extent?"

Masuzawa Shinnosuke took advantage of the opportunity, grabbed Nagayama Naoki and asked,

 “I promise not to report it!”

 Naoki Nagayama looked at this guy who repeatedly made trouble for him when meeting reporters. He was blocked by him every time, but he kept fighting and never gave up at all.

 “Come on! Turn off the recorder in your pocket first!!”

Matsuzawa Shinnosuke's body stiffened, and he reluctantly took out the recorder from his trouser pocket:

"How did you know?!"

“You guys, you have to find a good place when you hide! Your thin pants are so bulging! Can you still carry a short knife in your pants?!”

"Okay. I took it out and can't record it~" Matsuzawa Shinnosuke took out the recorder and said helplessly, "Can Naoki-san tell me now? Where are you and Nakamori Akina?"

Nagayama Naoki shook his head and was not very optimistic about this guy’s IQ:

“Also, take out the camera from your handbag! A hidden camera? A tape recorder? What do you want to do?! Pretend to be 007?!”

 “Isn’t he still wearing a bug tied to his body?”

 “How can it be repaired?”

Shinnosuke Matsuzawa was shocked this time. The recorder in his pants was just an obvious bait. How come the hidden camera in the briefcase was also discovered?

Also, didn’t the guy who sold it to me with a recorder strapped to his waist say he would never be discovered? !

“I said, Matsuzawa-san, why do you always keep an eye on my private life?” Naoki Nagayama looked helplessly at Shinnosuke Matsuzawa. It seemed that this guy had been prying into his privacy from the first time.

“Can’t you just ask me about the movie like other reporters?”

"What's the point of that!" Matsuzawa Shinnosuke said disdainfully. Now that he's been discovered, he doesn't want to pretend anymore. "I'm not the kind of kitten chasing a cat teaser! What I'm looking for is a public figure hiding in the sun. s things."

"Then you go to Matsuda Seiko to find out when she and Gohiromi broke up; you can also go to Kondo Masahiko to find out the story that has to be told between Johnny and the boy idol; if that doesn't work, you can still go and find out Is Momoe Yamaguchi’s married life happy? What do you want from me?”

Matsuzawa Shinnosuke said very seriously: "Because Naoki-san is my lifelong enemy! I must find Naoki-san's true face hidden behind him!"

ˆ “.”

Nagayama Naoki looked at the solemn guy in front of him and fell silent again. He had been silent a bit too much today.

The key is that this guy actually said such a middle-of-the-road line, which sounds very embarrassing!

“Matsuzawa-san, do you think that by saying ‘lifelong enemy’ or something like that, we will have a show of sympathy for each other, and then I will tell you all my privacy?!”

 Hearing these words, Matsuzawa Shinnosuke's expression perked up and he showed a very expectant look.

 "Hang Douni?" There is such a good thing?

 “Get away from me!” Are you kidding me? !

"Hi"

 Talking to others that he wanted to find his privacy, Matsuzawa Shinnosuke was already prepared to be kicked out, and at this time he quickly moved away.

I was thinking about asking other crew members, but suddenly I thought of what Naoki Nagayama just said.

“Matsuda Seiko, are you going to break up with Go Hiromi?! Aren’t they planning to get married?!”

 "Is there a story between Kondo Masahiko and Johnny? Are the rumors in the world true?! Is it true that Johnny is a boy idol?"

“And Yamaguchi Momoe. Unhappy marriage?! Naoki Nagayama actually has any connection with Yamaguchi Momoe?!”

It was only then that he realized that this interview actually left him three huge news clues! Every article can be a front page headline!

Naoki Nagayama is a nice guy? !
