Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 1142 Chapter 1151 I knew I couldn't escape this disaster today!!

A literary place in Ikebukuro.

The cold wind of December could not dampen the warm hearts of the media reporters. Today, the entrance of Wen Yi Zao was surrounded by media professionals, from regular reporters to elusive paparazzi, all gathered in this not-so-big cinema.

Today is not only the preview of "Ghost", but also a rare day for Naoki Nagayama to come out for an interview.

Naoki Nagayama, who has been at the center of controversy for a while, finally gave up hiding behind his powerful tree friends and started facing the media cameras. I don't know how many reporters were moved to tears. It might also be because of the cold wind.

"Mina-san, please make way and don't block the main passage. There are spectators coming!"

The staff at the preview shouted loudly, asking the media personnel to make room.

In addition to the media, other people from the film industry also came to watch the preview, such as film critics, directors, producers and film lovers, loyal fans of tree friends, fans of the leading actors and some lucky audiences. All of them were invited and they didn't spend a penny!

As the screening room gradually filled up with people, the scene that the reporters had been waiting for finally came!
A silver luxury car stopped at the entrance of the cinema, and the back door opened. Naoki Nagayama, who was wearing a casual suit, walked down first, and extended his hand to support the man in a gentlemanly manner. Then Akina Nakamori, who was wearing a windbreaker, walked down slowly.
The loose solid-color windbreaker has its lapels open, revealing a thick white sweater and a matching silk scarf. It looks like a casual combination, yet it is very harmonious.

When I got off the car, I was blown by the cold wind. My slightly curly hair was flying wildly, and my nose tip was a little red. Against the backdrop of my fair cheeks, I looked full of energy.
“Akina-chan!” “Akina-chan, look here!” “Akina~~~” “.”

When the reporters saw the real person appear, they immediately shouted loudly to attract attention. The sound of shutter clicks and continuous flash lights also appeared.

Among the many calls, one reporter shouted loudly:
"Naoki Nagayama. Look at the camera!"

Naoki Nagayama glanced at the guy with sharp eyes. He called Akina so gently, but he dared to call me so loudly? !

Don’t want to mix anymore?

It was Akina who quickly pulled her husband towards the inside of the cinema, thus avoiding a fight.
After entering the lounge inside the cinema, Naoki Nagayama found that Toshihiko Tahara and Nana Okada had already arrived.

"Mina Sansaxi ignores~"

"Naoki-san!" "Akina-chan" "How are you doing lately?" "You must be very busy at the end of the year~"

After a round of greetings, Naoki Nagayama said:
"Tawara-kun and Nana-chan haven't watched the full movie yet, right?"

"Hi!" X2
"Naoki-san, I haven't seen it either!" Akina also said.

"Oh, yes. It was edited not long ago." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Then let's watch it together today. Believe me, it will definitely amaze everyone!"

"Then we'll see!"

After settling the main actors, Naoki Nagayama, as a member of the organizer, also had to go to the front to greet and communicate with some of the invited industry bigwigs.

"Masaki-san, Masahiro-san, welcome here."

"We can't miss this new work that Naoki-san has put so much effort into!" Kobayashi Masaki replied with a smile, "We also want to see what the special effects are like!"

"Yes. Special effects are used more and more in movies."

After the two old friends, there is another very famous director, Oshima Oshima.

"Director Oshima. Long time no see."

"Yongshan-san, I came here because of your reputation!"

"It will not let you down!"

Then, Naoki Nagayama actually saw Ikebo Yasuko from the Ministry of Education.

"I didn't expect you to be here, Baozi-san."

"Naoki-san sent a few invitations~" Ikebana Yasuko said with a smile, "It happened to be a holiday, so I brought my colleagues to take a look."

Ikebo Yasuko introduced her colleagues to Naoki Nagayama.

"This is Toyama Atsuko, the head of the Planning Division of the Higher Education Bureau of the Ministry of Education. Like Naoki-san, she's from Shizuoka!"

"Really?" Naoki Nagayama bowed slightly to the middle-aged woman next to him, "Nice to meet you. I'm Naoki Nagayama. Thank you for your guidance!"

"Nice to meet you." Toyama Atsuko naturally bowed as well.

Seeing such a handsome young man, Toyama Atsuko naturally smiled.

After discussing the establishment of the Tokyo Film Association with Naoki Nagayama, I have already stood on the same side as my fellow film lovers. This time, I brought my colleagues to attend the preview to show my concern for the development of film culture.

"Please come in. I hope you enjoy the movie!"

"Haha, I'm looking forward to it~"

After entertaining the officials from the Ministry of Education, Naoki Nagayama then greeted everyone he knew in the room and exchanged a few pleasantries, unknowingly spending quite a bit of time on them.

It wasn't until Ishikawa came in to inform him that he knew the screening was about to begin.

The screening room of Wen Yi Zuo was renovated this year and looks more spacious and trendy than before. The big screen in front is also brand new and so white that it seems to be able to reflect a person's face.

Naoki Nagayama sat in the center of the front row, and main creative members including Akina and Toshihiko Tahara were already there.

After a while, the lights in the field dimmed.
Slowly, the main film of "Ghost" began to play.
"Dong dong."

The sound of hammers hitting the wall was heard, and the darkness on the big screen was suddenly broken by the hammers. It turned out that the camera started from inside the wall.

I saw light coming through the cracks in the wall, and a pair of hands tore apart the broken wooden boards, and then...
"Wow~" "Oh~" "This is really..." "So big." "This line~ I'm drooling!" "I really want to take a bite!" "Tsk, I have one too!"

In the screening room, there were sounds of surprise and admiration from the female audience, as well as disdain and desire to win from some male audience!
From the very beginning, Naoki Nagayama gave the audience some fresh meat shocks!

do you remember?

The first scene is when Naoki Nagayama and Toshihiko Tahara are shirtless and demolishing a house. The two handsome guys' figures make Akina look a little pale in comparison in the same scene.

The benefits at the beginning made many female audiences feel very happy, and their eyes were shining!

Naoki Nagayama knew from the beginning that although the movie "Ghost" is a classic for both men and women, the love story is mostly used to please women, so he gave them a great benefit from the very beginning!
"Naoki-san, don't take off your clothes in public anymore!"

Akina, who was standing next to her, came over quietly and whispered in her husband's ear. The female perverts in the theater made her feel threatened.

".Going surfing?"

"Neither!"

"."

On the other side, Toshihiko Tahara smiled. As an older male idol, he is in the process of transformation and this kind of sexiness is a good promotion.

The following plot is about daily love.
Couples who just arrived in Tokyo decorate their love nest together, party with friends, sing, dance and laugh. The atmosphere of passionate love makes single people uncomfortable.

Akina, a ceramic artist, and Naoki Nagayama, a banker, gradually live a good life in Tokyo, a city full of opportunities.
When love is strong, the famous scene appears~
In the sleepless midnight, with the gentle melody of "Unchained Melody", the two lovers worked together on the grinding wheel, making pottery, and their hands gently rubbed the slippery clay.
The intimacy of skin-to-skin contact, the obsession of love between men and women, and the unsettled love, although there is no explicit plot, it fully reflects the desire.
The female audience present didn't know what they were thinking, their eyes were rolling, and even the male audience's faces turned slightly red~
The film directors Oshima Oshima and Kobayashi Masaki were very pleased.
What is a master?
What is a film artist?

Everyone can see what you want to express, knows what you are narrating, and understands in their hearts what you are conveying to the audience, but the shots in the movie seem to show nothing!
It turns out that the passion between men and women can be photographed so artistically!!
Naoki Nagayama, you are really great!

"Ghost" is only the first half, which builds up the love between the two to its strongest moment, and then the plot takes a sharp turn for the worse.

Suddenly, during an ordinary date, the male protagonist was shot dead by the robbers, and the only thing left in the alley was the female protagonist's painful cry.
"Ah~~" "Why is this happening!" "This"

Amid the cheers of the audience, the soul of the male protagonist Naoki Nagayama emerged, and facing the guiding light of the sky, he chose to stay and protect his lover~
But soon, he discovered that as a soul, he was completely unable to come into contact with living people. He couldn't hear, see, or touch, as if he was in a completely different world!
In the hospital, the stretcher went straight through his spirit, and in the subway, his head went straight through the car.
When Masahiro Shinoda saw the wall-passing on the big screen, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide. This was totally not an effect that could be produced by movie editing!

It’s not the blurring of characters caused by multiple exposures, nor is it an illusion caused by lens changes. It’s a real special effect that directly makes special changes to characters and other objects in the picture!

"Is this the digital special effect that Naoki-san was talking about?!"

"Sure enough. The special effects are totally different from the past!"

"The future of movies will definitely be an era of special effects like this!"

As an experienced director, he immediately saw the unlimited future potential of this special effect. He turned to look at Kobayashi Masaki and Oshima Oo, and the same amazement flashed in the eyes of the two great directors.

It turns out that the future of the film industry still depends on young people like Naoki Nagayama!

The directors were looking at the difficulty of filming, while the rest of the audience were completely immersed in the plot.

After becoming a soul, the male protagonist has to protect his lover and track the murderer and robber, only to find out that he did not do it on impulse.
I can see ghosts through my cat at home, and I scared away the robbers. I found out that the person behind the scenes was actually my good friend.
But she couldn't communicate with her lover, and then she met a psychic witch who asked her to help warn her lover.
The fast pace and well-connected narrative kept the audience riveted, especially the special effects of turning into ghosts, which made them exclaim in amazement!

Audiences of this era have not experienced blockbusters with digital special effects, so they were naturally shocked when they saw the amazing sights!

Before I knew it, I had reached the final part of the story.
The male protagonist played by Naoki Nagayama was determined to protect his lover. He learned from the old ghost at the subway station that ghosts can move real objects with their thoughts. He finally embarked on the road of protecting his lover and revenge.

In the rented house, he moved household appliances with his mind and pushed real objects with anger, which frightened the robbers so much that they lost their way and were hit by a car.
The robber's soul also appeared, but was dragged down to hell by the evil ghost!
When the black evil ghost appeared, the audience also exclaimed:

"Wow!" "Evil ghost!" "."

Finally, he and the psychic witch returned to the love nest of the hero and heroine. Naoki Nagayama expressed his love to his lover through the witch's mouth and even attached himself to the witch and cuddled with his lover for the last time.
At the last moment, the villain Toshihiko Tahara also came to their apartment. He was penniless and about to be ruined by the ghost's revenge, so he chased after them with a gun.

In the two people's apartment, Naoki Nagayama and the villain Toshihiko Tahara had a fierce battle. In the end, in an accident, Toshihiko Tahara was pierced by the window glass and died, and his soul was dragged down to hell by the evil spirit!

In the end, Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori met for the last time on the rooftop.

Under the shining light of heaven, Akina saw her lover for the last time. She watched his figure slowly disappear in the light, and tears of sadness and relief flowed from her eyes.
The whole movie ends with a close-up of Akina's face!

The gentle melody of "Unchained Melody" was heard again in the screening room, mixed with the sobbing and sobbing of some female audience members.
The thunderous applause started at the end of the movie and continued without stopping until the host walked to the front and put his hands down, signaling everyone to be quiet.

Many reporters with equipment rushed in from the door and formed a line in front of the stage, with their cameras and guns all set up.
"Mina-san, we are going to conduct a media interview for Ghost. Audiences who are in a hurry can leave first."

The host looked around and saw that no one chose to leave, so after the media were ready, today's press conference officially began.

"Mina-san, the love story of Ghost has come to an end. I think today's film must have brought everyone a different feeling."

“Here, we invited the main creative members of the film to discuss with us how the film was made and what kind of story is behind it.”

"Now, please welcome Mr. Naoki Nagayama, the producer, director, screenwriter, and lead actor of Ghost!"

"Ms. Akina Nakamori, the heroine!" "Mr. Toshihiko Tahara, who plays the villain!" "Ms. Nana Okada, who plays the psychic witch!" "."

When Naoki Nagayama and other main creators came on stage, the audience applauded again.
"Arigato!" "Thank you very much." "Thank you very much."

Several main creators bowed to the audience in front of the stage to thank everyone for their support.

The host struck while the iron was hot and handed the microphone to Naoki Nagayama:
"Director Nagayama, do you have anything to say to the audience?"

Naoki Nagayama was naturally not afraid of the stage. He took the microphone and bowed first:
"Thank you again for your support! Without you, there would be no release of Ghost!"

"When I first started making this movie, I was very nervous because love is a theme that has been filmed many times by well-known directors, and this time it is combined with ghosts. I don't know if this movie can bring everyone a different feeling."

"."

Speaking in clichés is not a problem for Naoki Nagayama. Even though he doesn't like socializing, he has never been afraid to speak when it's time!

And this kind of clichés are all templated, first talking about one's own anxiety and ideological struggle, then praising fellow directors for their outstanding achievements, then talking about the breakthroughs of the film itself, and finally praising the audience.
"In short, thank you all again. Your support is the driving force behind my unremitting efforts! I will continue to work hard and do my best to present the best film work!"

The thunderous applause rang out again, and after the speech, hello, hello, everyone!

Even the host is learning silently. This set of skills will definitely be very suitable for use in other hosting occasions in the future!
However, the host did not forget his job and continued to CUE the process:

"Ms. Akina Nakamori, you and Mr. Naoki Nagayama are lovers. Is there anything different during the filming of this movie?"

"Oh, this," Akina smiled shyly, "Naoki-san is very different on the set than he is on other days. He is very serious on the set and polishes every plot over and over again."

"So you're usually sloppy?"

“That’s not the case.”

Akina laughed, and the audience also laughed good-naturedly, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

"During the filming, Naoki-san was thinking about how to show the emotional connection between the male and female protagonists, but in normal times, he didn't pay so much attention to it. It was not so dramatic and was more plain."

"I see!" The host smiled and looked at Naoki Nagayama, "Naoki-san, did you hear that? You should also be a little more dramatic in your daily life, with a sense of ritual! I don't know about ritual perception!"

"."

Naoki Nagayama is somewhat speechless. This kind of sense of ritual is what I have left over from playing!

Now, the airship confession that is indispensable between couples, don’t you know that I was the one who invented it? !

Next, the host naturally interviewed Toshihiko Tahara and Nana Okada, asking them to talk about their feelings about working with Naoki Nagayama for the second time, as well as some of their memories on the set.

As veterans in the entertainment industry, the two naturally answered with ease~
However, even though the host kept delaying, it was finally time for the creative team and media reporters to get down to business!

"Next, we will give the opportunity to our journalist friends to speak and ask questions."

The host took the microphone in his hand and walked towards the reporters in the audience. At this time, many reporters were already ready to go. The host couldn't find a replacement for him at once, so he could only find one at random.
"Director Naoki Nagayama!" The reporter grabbed the microphone tightly, "Ghost is indeed a very good movie, and the undying love in it is also very touching!"

"Arigado~"

"So, Director Nagayama, who filmed such a love story, can you please give us your opinion on the recent news about the 'illegitimate child'?!"

"!!!"

The screening room suddenly became quiet.

Obviously, the questions raised by this reporter have attracted everyone's attention!
In the silence, Naoki Nagayama also picked up the microphone, looked around, and then laughed:

"I knew I couldn't escape this disaster today!"

There was some laughter at the scene, which eased the atmosphere, but the reporter kept staring at Naoki Nagayama, as if he wanted to write down every word he said next!

"."

Naoki Naoyama paused for a moment and spoke slowly.
“In fact, this kind of groundless speculation is not uncommon in the entertainment industry.

It's said that it takes only one mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of effort to refute it. If you want to explain, you will fall into the trap of self-confirmation, and it will never end! "

"So! I decided to fight back against this rumor in a special way!"

At the signal from Naoki Nagayama, Susumu Ishikawa pushed a standing poster covered with a cloth from the small door next to him and placed it directly in front of the cameras of the reporters.

Naoki Nagayama walked forward and lifted the cloth.
At the top of the poster, there is a bold title that reads "Pre-sale Notice for "Ghost"!"
"Mina-san, let me make a bet with everyone! Let's use the truth of this matter!"

"As everyone knows, I have sued the Tokyo Sports Newspaper. The trial will be announced a few days before Christmas!"

"Ghost" will be officially released on Christmas Day. Before that, everyone can buy pre-sale tickets for the movie at the Shuyou-owned cinemas!"

"If the result of the trial that day is that I lose the case.
Then I will pay for all the movie tickets you buy!!!"

As soon as these words came out, the media reporters at the scene became excited instantly!!

The shutter button in my hand kept being pressed and the flash light kept flashing, capturing Naoki Nagayama and the "Pre-sale Instructions" next to him at this moment!

I've already started thinking about the title of today's report!
Is it better to say "Naoki Nagayama is bleeding profusely" or "Naoki Nagayama is doing something crazy"?
Oh, it's so hard to choose, or to combine, "Naoki Nagayama was driven crazy by the 'illegitimate child' and actually did such a thing?!"

As expected, Naoki Nagayama has never disappointed the media!
It’s decided, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, all the news headlines will be about this bet!!!

"Dear journalists!" Naoki Nagayama continued on the stage, "The staff will distribute the detailed terms of the 'pre-sale instructions' to everyone in a moment!"

"Also, I will participate on the day of the public trial."

"After the verdict comes out, Shuyou will hold a press conference in front of the court to announce the verdict!"

"I will be there, waiting for everyone to arrive!!!"

"So during the rest of the interview, please don't ask questions about the 'illegitimate child' rumors!"

“Let’s get back to Ghost itself!”

"Thank you very much!"

"."
