Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 1103 Chapter 1112, The first "Neon Voice" champion is born!!!

A few days flew by.

As the lyrics of "Burning Love" echoed in the record stores along the street, Naoki Nagayama brought Akina to the filming base in Ota Ward.

In the filming set of the park, the crew members have gathered, the altar has been set up, and even Granny Murata and her apprentice have put on colorful divine robes and are closing their eyes to wait for the auspicious time.

Today, the crew of "Ghost" will hold a blessing ceremony for the start of filming!

After Naoki Nagayama and Akina arrived, they greeted everyone in the crew. There were not many main characters this time, but the villain in the play was played by Toshihiko Tanaka.

I heard that this guy was so happy when he was found!

The role of the psychic witch was played by Nana Okada, who had previously played a witch in "The Legend of the Eight Dogs". She is both smart and mysterious.
Of course, this time the couple also brought Xiao Xiahua and nanny Nonaka Mari with them, after all, they would be away for a long time.

"Ah, Xiao Xiahua has grown so big!"

Yoshimura Otomo and Idou Shuichi both came over and looked at the baby in the mobile baby basket with great affection.

“Children grow fastest in their first year.”

Mingcai said with a smile that the blessing ceremony had not yet begun. She picked up Xiahua from the baby basket and greeted her friends.

"Now I can still smile, and it's a sweet smile~"

It's like showing off your daughter.
On this side, Naoki Nagayama was checking the equipment with Masataka Komori and Kyon Kimura. After all, the first shot still had to be shot after the blessing ceremony.

"Naoki-san, the Tokyo International Film Festival will be held next Wednesday. After today's opening ceremony, will we have a day off?"

Masataka Komori was a little confused, as he had clearly said it would be after the film festival.

"Alas, the auspicious day is in these few days. The next auspicious day is the film festival, so today is the only day~"

Naoki Nagayama didn't want to do it so quickly, but since it was a blessing ceremony, he always had to pay attention to these things.

"."

Komori Masataka stopped talking. What else can he do if this is the case?
"By the way, Masataka-kun, have you found actors for your film 'Along the Way?'" asked Naoki Nagayama. 'Along the Way?' will be released early next year, and the preparatory work has already begun.

"As for the female lead, I hope Chikako Aoyama will play the role. Chikako-san has that kind of charming and charming feeling."

Komori Masataka answered honestly.

"."

What kind of charming style, you just want big breasts! I am embarrassed to expose you!

Naoki Nagayama shook his head. This is how the film culture is slowly corrupted by directors:
"So what about the male lead?"

"As for the male lead, Kijima strongly recommended Leslie Cheung who played in Tiger of Ginza. He said that the popularity of foreign actors could make the movie more international, and his image really fits the bill."

Komori Masataka continued to explain,

"As for the other cool male lead, I would like to invite Tahara Toshihiko, and for other supporting roles, I would also like to invite Watari Tetsuya for the time being."

Listening to the names of the actors one by one, Naoki Nagayama did not express too many opinions. After all, Masataka Komori was already an independent director and had his own judgment on movie roles.

"Since you already have an idea, then make sure to book it as soon as possible. We don't know if they can make time for it."

Naoki Nagayama was afraid to pat Masataka Komori on the shoulder.

"I will start filming later, so we don't need too many people."

As for Kyon Kimura, we still have to wait a long time for his next movie, so he can be considered a godsend.

"Hi," Komori Masataka smiled, "After the Tokyo International Film Festival is over, I will start preparing for the filming of Across the World. Then, maybe I will be in this filming base with Naoki-san."

"Come on, many scenes of Across the World were shot in Europe, so you might as well go on a trip abroad!"

"How can this be possible?! We are going to work!"

Although he spoke sternly, he couldn't hide the smile on Komori Masataka's face.

This is a strictly funded tour. Even if you want to take pictures, you need good lighting. It is impossible to take pictures at night!
At this moment, Idou Shuichi came over:

"Naoki-san, it's almost time, the blessing ceremony is about to begin!"

"Okay, let's go over there!"

Under the leadership of the bosses, the crew members quickly formed a square formation, and Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori stood in the center of the front row with Shuichi Ido and Otomo Yoshimura, and the leading actors and other members were behind them.
Now Akina is not only the heroine, but also the wife of the director and producer. Her status in the crew is second only to the big three.

Granny Murata, who had rested for a long time, took a deep breath and began to chant the spell loudly, while her one-eyed apprentice began to dance the divine dance with a crazy look.

After the shaman finished the thank-you dance, Granny Murata led the crew to burn incense in turn, offer sacrifices to the gods, and pray for good fortune.

"God bless you, and may the filming of the movie go smoothly!"

Naoki Nagayama took the lead and inserted three thick incense sticks into the incense burner. The altar filled with offerings was filled with smoke. The spirit tablets seemed to be endowed with divinity at this time, with a sense of mystery and solemnity.
After the blessing ceremony, Yoshimura Otomo and Idou Shuichi had already left, and the only ones left were the crew members.

Naoki Nagayama also began to exercise his power as a director, arranging the crew members to start filming. At least one shot had to be shot today as part of the opening ceremony.

In the hall that is decorated like an apartment, the sofas, carpets and crystal chandeliers make it look like a wealthy family's home.

Naoki Nagayama is currently filming a relatively simple scene in the movie, which is a scene where the male and female protagonists gently hug each other to the music and dance the dance they often danced before.

Actually, this is the scene after the medium is possessed, but many shots of this movie are taken at night or outdoors, and there are not many indoor scenes.
We just started filming today, so we chose a scene that doesn’t require much acting skills to “warm up”.

"Naoki-san~" Under everyone's gaze, Akina was a little nervous, "Just like this?"

"Ha, are you afraid of stepping on my feet, Akina?" Naoki Nagayama laughed, "You're obviously a good dancer!"

"."

Mingcai's face turned red with embarrassment. Are you talking about dancing skills? !

Now there are three cameras pointed at them, and the entire crew is looking at them!
Although singing and dancing in front of thousands of people was no problem before, I was alone at that time after all, and now I have to be intimate with my husband in front of the camera.
"Can't let go?"

"There is one thing that everyone is not very familiar with."

Seeing that Akina was a little nervous, Naoki Nagayama understood very well. After all, he was also a little embarrassed because he hadn't acted in a long time!
And now the crew is in the early stages of running-in, it is the most unfamiliar time~
But he is a director, such a small scene is not a problem for him!

Naoki Nagayama looked at the actors and staff on the set and said directly:
"Mina-san, those who don't have a mission, gather in the middle of the living room and let's dance to the music together!"

“???” “Is this true?” “!!!” “We?” “What are you doing?” “.”

"After all, we are not familiar with each other before. This is the first scene, so let's relax." Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "Let's break the ice and relax. Sound engineer, turn up the music and play some lively music later.
Let’s use this as a dance floor! Dance together, and the footage can be used as a behind-the-scenes video later.”

Although some people didn't understand, the director was the most important person on the set, so everyone slowly came to the middle of the living room and started dancing.

The dance was a little stiff at the beginning, but as the melody changed, it soon relaxed and the atmosphere on the scene began to become relaxed and happy.
The whole set seemed to have turned into a dance floor in a disco.
Kyon Kimura laughed behind the camera. As expected, Naoki-san's behavior was eye-opening.

When we were filming "Tiger of Ginza", it took about a week just for the crew to get used to each other. During this period, there were constant instructions, slow adaptation, and even arguments.
And now, after ten minutes or so, everyone in the crew seems to have gotten to know each other~
I believe that the subsequent shooting will be faster!
"Kijima-kun, what are you doing hiding behind the camera?! We just need to start the camera today, and we don't have to shoot a certain scene in the movie!" Nagayama Naoki called out, "Come and dance! How are you going to find a girlfriend if you always hide behind the camera?!"

"."

Now everyone knows that Kyon Kimura is still single!
He had a low sense of presence, and for the first time he felt embarrassed by being stared at.
He is a promising new director, but he doesn't have a girlfriend?!
For a moment, the eyes of some members of the crew lit up~
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the prime time of Japanese TV stations, the final of "Neon Voice" officially began to be broadcast.

This summer, "Neon Voice" stood out from many variety shows like a dark horse, attracting the attention of countless viewers.

The popularity of this program even surpassed "The Best Ten" and "Music Station" in a short period of time, becoming the most popular music variety show.

And today, the final of "Neon Voice" is here, which has been anticipated by many viewers for a whole week!
In a family in Nakano Ward, the father who was supposed to have a drink with his boss, the mother who was supposed to be busy in the kitchen, the eldest daughter who was supposed to be doing homework in her bedroom, and the youngest son who was supposed to be playing games, all sat in front of the TV in the Japanese-style room.

This family are all loyal viewers of "Neon Voice" and are looking forward to the finals!

"Who will be the champion?" The head of the family, Noriaki Nishida, muttered to himself, "The Igarashi folk music of Yoshida Takuro's team is very good!"

The mother beside her, Nishida Kimi, said without any doubt:

"It must be Kamachi Sachiko, right?! She sings so beautifully and is very popular."

"Kikuchi Kisumi is also quite popular! And he's very good-looking!"

As for the youngest son, Norio Nishida, he supports Kikuchi Kimi because she is more in line with the current aesthetics and is cute and harmless.
"Of course it's Kamachi Sachiko!"

The eldest daughter, Yoshimi Nishida, interrupted and said that for a girl of her age, Sachiko Kamachi, who sang rock and wore jeans, was so cool and unique!
"So handsome!"

In fact, the program had been recorded a week ago. They didn’t know that the champion had already been determined and were just waiting for the TV station to broadcast it.

There are thousands of families like this in Japan, and everyone is waiting in front of the TV screens, waiting for the broadcast of the final.

Just as everyone was supporting their respective contestants, the final of "Neon Voice" finally began to air!

The host of the show led everyone to review the performance of the four contestants during the recording of the show, and then began to perform one by one.

"The first player to come on stage is Omura Mitsuharu from the Sawada Kenzo team!"

"Next, it's Mitsuhiko Igarashi from Yoshida Takuro's team!"

"Contestant Sachiko Kamachi from the Nakajima Miyuki team!"

"The last one is Kikuchi Kimi from the Saijo Hideki team!"

"."

The four finalists walked onto the stage amid everyone's cheers, and the host couldn't help but exclaim:
“After more than a dozen rounds of competition and one-on-one coaching, these four amazing contestants made it to the final night!

Thousands of votes, countless people's support, today is the moment that everyone is watching! ”

The host’s words made people excited, and the final performances of the four contestants officially began!
At the finals, contestants from the four teams who have gone through several rounds of screening will perform together with singers of their respective choices.

This is not only the luck of the contestants, but also the luck of the singers.
After all, the popularity of "Neon Voice" has reached the national level, which is equivalent to the highest level of exposure notice.

Mitsuharu Omura, Mitsuhiko Igarashi, Sachiko Kamachi, Kikuchi Kikumi. These formerly unknown amateurs have now become famous new singers.

Together with their favorite singers, they performed the best original songs on the stage, and the audience in the audience and the audience in front of the TV were fascinated and gave warm applause.

After the performance, the instructor will give a final evaluation!

"In my heart, you are the best!" This is Kenji Sawada's final affirmation of his own player.

"Standing on this stage, you are already the champion!" This is the recognition from Takuro Yoshida.

And Nakajima Miyuki looked at Kamachi Sachiko and said:

"You gave the best performance. I always believe that you are the best!!"

"Arigado~"

Tears also flowed from Sachiko Kamachi's originally cold face. She was very grateful for Miyuki Nakajima's guidance and encouragement.

Amid the cheers of the audience, the host had to reach out to calm everyone down:
"I know everyone is very excited now. The winner of Neon Voice will be announced soon."

“To the four contestants on the stage, I want to say that whoever stands to the end is the best!”

"The next step is to witness the miracle!"

"."

Under Tamori's words, the studio gradually became quiet until a staff member delivered an envelope!
“The first “Neon Voice” champion.”

As Tamori spoke, the spotlight kept flashing on the four contestants.
"Tonight's champion is"

"Contestant Sachiko Kamachi!!!"

The spotlight suddenly stopped on Sachiko Kamachi, making her shine!
The fireworks and colored lights on the stage were all launched, the applause was thunderous, the cheers and music mixed together, creating a warm atmosphere~
"The champion of the first Neon Voice has been announced!" Tamori held up the microphone and spoke excitedly, "Contestant Sachiko Kamachi will win the title of Neon Voice! And she will also receive a record contract from the Shuyou Group!"

"Let's congratulate Sachiko Kamachi"

On the stage, Sachiko Kamachi covered her mouth with her hands, with surprise in her eyes. Although she was very confident, she couldn't be sure until the last moment.

Then the contestants hugged each other and congratulated each other.
Mentor Miyuki Nakajima also took to the stage to congratulate her students
The first "Neon Voice" finals was successfully completed!
