Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 1200 1209, How can a normal person think of committing a crime in the first place?

Anyone who has been a director knows that in order to improve efficiency during filming, the entire film’s indoor shooting scenes are basically completed in one or two indoor scenes.

After filming of one set was completed, the props team would start redecorating it while the crew was filming next door.

The same is true for "Departures". The main indoor scenes of this movie are divided into two parts, one is the protagonist's home, and the other is the different mortuary rooms of each customer.

The plots being filmed will also be different, and sometimes the jumps are very severe, which is a great test of the actors' acting skills.

Naoki Nagayama's idea of ​​"making the corpse more realistic" was not realized in the end. Even Takei Kenhiko, a senior prop master in the prop group, looked at Naoki Nagayama with horror after hearing his director's idea.

"Naoki-san, insulting a corpse is a serious crime!"

Takei Kenhiko spoke cautiously, as if he wanted to dissuade Naoki Nagayama from his thoughts.

"Besides, there's no way we can get that body!"

Naoki Nagayama's face was full of surprise, even shock, and a bit of disgust, vividly showing the expression of "Because I'm not perverted enough, I don't fit in with you prop masters."

"Takei-san, when I say to make the prop corpse more realistic, I mean to add some raw meat, ammonia, etc., so that it will be more realistic in terms of smell and visual perception."

"Why did you think of getting a real corpse?!"

"How can a normal person think of committing a crime in the first place?!"

"."

The muscles on the face of veteran prop master Kenhiko Takei twitched. Who was it that had said vaguely before, "No matter what the cost, we must capture Miura Tomokazu's feedback after seeing the real corpse"?

In addition, Naoki Nagayama even pulled people aside and said this carefully away from the crowd.

Any normal person would think so, right?

Um. A normal person would think this way, right?

I'm a normal person, right?

Under the self-suggestion of syllogistic reasoning, Takei Kenhiko began to doubt his own psychological problems and fell into deep self-doubt. He even felt that he should see a psychiatrist.

"Cough cough~"

Naoki Nagayama coughed twice and then explained,

"Anyway, I want you to make the prop corpse look more realistic. I want Tomokazu Miura to think it's a real corpse when he sees it, so that it will have that kind of shocking feeling.

So the smell and touch should be similar, and it would be best if there were some small animals or something like that."

"."

Takei Takehiko carefully confirmed,

"The little animal that Naoki-san is pointing at is white and tender and can wriggle around, right?"

"."

Naoki Nagayama patted his forehead.

"Takei-san, just say baby flies!"

"Hi"

After instructing the props team to prepare the surprise, Naoki Nagayama came to the set on the other side, which was the apartment of the male and female protagonists in the city.

The room is not big, just a two-bedroom apartment, and the decoration is a little old, but the layout inside is warm and comfortable. There are also many photos and books of the male and female protagonists. You can tell at a glance that this is a home that has been managed with care.

Unfortunately, after today's scenes are over, it will be of no use and will be dismantled and re-arranged for other scenes.

Naoki Nagayama walked into the set and nodded with satisfaction as he watched the crew setting up the camera positions and other preparations.

The crew's cameras, lights, microphones, etc. are all ready. The male lead Miura Tomokazu has also changed into a home sweater, while Yamaguchi Momoe is wearing...

"Momoe-san, is this your own clothing?"

"Hi." Yamaguchi Baihui nodded, "This is the home clothes I usually wear. The clothes in the props group always don't fit me well. They are not like what the heroine usually wears in the script, so I brought my own clothes.

If Naoki-san feels it is not suitable, I will change the crew to prepare it."

"Well"

Naoki Nagayama looked him up and down. As a former top idol, his aesthetic taste must be on point. Even though he has been more frugal after marriage, the clothes he buys are still very decent.

“Very nice and homely atmosphere, no need to change”

"That's good~"

Yamaguchi Momoe nodded and continued reading the script. Today was her first time appearing on camera again and she couldn't make any mistakes.

After checking the crew's preparations, Naoki Nagayama gave instructions to the male and female protagonists to get ready and start filming.

"Nonessential personnel, leave the scene. Start filming. Cameras, microphones, and script supervisors, ready."

As the assistant director, Kyon Kimura was loudly confirming the status of each department of the crew at this time, and each department would receive a corresponding response every time he called.

The reporter called out the information on the whiteboard, then tapped the board, and then Naoki Nagayama called out through the loudspeaker.

"Action!"

In the originally quiet house, the male protagonist was leaning on the desk in a trance. The male protagonist played by Miura Tomokazu was a cellist of average level. He spent a lot of money to buy a professional cello in order to integrate into the orchestra.

However, he didn't expect that the band disbanded today and he suddenly lost his job.

What's worse is that the cello was bought with a loan, and the loan has not yet been repaid.

Worse still, he also concealed the amount of the loan and lied to his wife that it was a cheap

"Thank you."

I heard my wife coming back from the door. She seemed to be talking to the neighbor. Then I saw Yamaguchi Baihui walking into the entrance wearing a coat.

"I'm back~"

"Welcome home." Tomokazu Miura responded subconsciously.

Yamaguchi Baihui smiled and raised the bag in her hand and said to her husband:

"Octopus. My neighbor gave it to me. I just saw it at the door."

While putting the octopus into the refrigerator, they chattered about daily things, just like an ordinary couple, without any sense of strangeness or being out of place. Ah, they are actually a couple~

It was not until they came to the desk and took off their coat that Yamaguchi Baihui realized her husband was in a low mood:

"What's wrong with you? What happened?"

".Disbanded."

"what?"

"The band disbanded~"

Yamaguchi Momoe paused, a little surprised, looking at the loss on her husband's face, and comforted him.

“Then find the next one.”

"No more," sighed Miura Tomokazu, "I can't find the next band with my level."

"." Yamaguchi Baihui didn't know how to comfort her for a moment.

This scene seems to have happened before. After getting married and retiring, Miura Tomokazu also suffered a setback in his career and was out of work for several years. At that time, as a newlywed, she didn't know how to comfort her husband who was frustrated in his career.

But at that time, Yamaguchi Baihui knew that there was a panacea - rolling in the sheets!

For young men, there is no sad thing that can't be solved by having sex. If that doesn't work, just have sex a few more times!

"."

But in the movie, it can't develop like this! Otherwise, it will become some kind of action movie!

"It doesn't matter, I'll support the family!"

Yamaguchi Baihui said something very feminine.

“I can do design!”

"Also, I have to pay off my loan." Miura Tomokazu pointed to the cello next to him.

"It's okay, it's only 1 million!"

Yamaguchi Baihui sat down in front of Miura Tomokazu and said,

“That’s absolutely fine!”

Miura Tomokazu chose to confess. "Actually it's 1800 million."

Yamaguchi Baihui was surprised: "? 1800 million?!"

"All cellists use professional cellos like this, and professional ones are all priced around this price." Miura Tomokazu awkwardly changed the subject, "This one is pretty cheap!"

"."

Even Yamaguchi Baihui was speechless. With your level, can you afford such a professional cello? !

Besides, can I afford the loan?! A cello is as expensive as a house!

"Why did you hide it from me?"

"I think you will object."

"Why didn't you discuss this important matter with me?"

".Private Marseille"

Faced with such a husband, Yamaguchi Momoe could no longer be angry and could only leave the scene after saying "I'm going to cook."

The camera slowly turns to Miura Tomokazu, rubbing his hands, scratching his hair, and rubbing his face. These small movements make the actor's embarrassment more obvious.

"Cut!"

When Naoki Nagayama saw that it was almost done, he shouted "cut", and the male and female protagonists, Tomokazu Miura and Momoe Yamaguchi, all came over and looked at the director's monitor together.

"How's it going, Naoki-san?"

"Well"

After entering the shooting, Naoki Nagayama put himself into a state of concentration, and did not relax his requirements just because it was the first time that Yamaguchi Momoe appeared on camera after her comeback.

"Momoe-san performed very smoothly but there are some details to pay attention to!

In the script, you and the male lead have been married for many years. "

“So you should be very clear about the personalities of both parties.”

"The male lead is not very talented in music and his career is not going well, so you shouldn't be that surprised when his band disbanded and he couldn't find a job."

Naoki Nagayama pointed at the expression on the screen and said that he had many film theories in his mind and a vision that was ahead of his time. Coupled with years of practice, he already had his own unique views on filming.

Now, even if we shoot a good movie, we won’t just copy it.

“We should face it calmly.”

"Then, what should surprise and anger you is that Miura Tomokazu secretly borrowed 1800 million yen to buy such an expensive cello without consulting you!"

"My husband was originally a soft-hearted man, but he still had some honesty, but now he's actually cheating on me. That's what makes me angry."

"You can't be too soft at this time."

"There should be a difference between angry and complaining tones, and they should be shorter and more powerful."

In Japan, what is emphasized is the wife's unlimited tolerance towards her husband, which is somewhat anti-human in terms of human nature, especially at a time when feminist thought is on the rise.

In the story, the heroine is a freelance designer who works part-time. She does not rely entirely on her husband for a living, so she should be more confident when speaking.

The economic foundation determines the family status. This is true in modern times.

Yamaguchi Baihui listened to Naoki Nagayama's analysis and explanation, and was deeply moved. It turned out that famous directors all have their own strengths. Their analysis of the characters' minds is very appropriate, allowing the actors to fully understand the performances and scenes that the director wants.

So the eyes looking at Naoki Nagayama are more respectful and admiring.

This made Tomokazu Miura, who was standing next to him, suddenly feel an inexplicable worry in his heart. When he was filming movies in the past, all those eyes were on him!

In the following performances, Yamaguchi Baihui's performance became more real and smart, and Miura Tomokazu, because of a little worry in his heart, was more in line with the psychology of the male protagonist in the plot.

He was also worried that after he confessed the truth, his wife would be disappointed in him and their relationship might be in trouble.

"Cut!"

The voice of Naoki Nagayama came from the loud speaker.

"Very good, this one is much better than before!"

"Especially Youhe-san. His eyes fully showed the worry in the male protagonist's heart. It was better than the first performance!"

"."

Miura Tomokazu felt mixed emotions at this moment.

The filming location in Ota City is no secret.

The fact that "Departures" was filmed here was not kept secret for long. Soon, a group of fans who wanted to secretly take photos of Yamaguchi Baihui appeared at the entrance of the filming base.

Although these people claim to be fans of Yamaguchi Momoe, many of them are actually reporters or paparazzi. Although major media outlets no longer accept photos taken at Yamaguchi Momoe's home, they do not refuse photos taken at other places.

During the filming process, it is also considered a workplace. If Yamaguchi Momoe is photographed, there will be no problem! The media will also accept it according to the previous rules!

This is the self-regulating and corrective power of the entertainment industry. After all, popularity and exposure mean money in the entertainment industry!

Blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents.

Even Naoki Nagayama and several major media outlets cannot completely stop the pursuit of hot news.

If you want to eradicate it, the entertainment industry must cease to exist!

However, since there was already a contingency plan, the park director Katsuyoshi Ishikawa had already set up a security checkpoint at the entrance of the base with a group of security guards to strictly check people entering and leaving the park.

"Stop! Security, stop him!"

A man pretending to be a delivery man was stopped, and Ishikawa Katsuyoshi walked up to him.

"I haven't seen you before, are you new here?"

"Yes, yes, I just started working here. My boss asked me to deliver the drinks and snacks that were ordered to the crew of "Long Vacation"."

The crew's boxed lunches were the big fat meat, which had already been divided up among the internal members. Naturally, they would not be left for the restaurants around the base. However, as for things like drinks and snacks, the crew members were not prohibited from buying them themselves.

"Oh?"

Ishikawa Katsuyoshi, who was very chubby, walked up to him with his legs splayed out and took a quick look in the snack box.

"Then answer me, how much is a bottle of Coke?"

"Two hundred yen"

"What about a can of red bean soup?"

"Two hundred and fifty yen"

"How about a pack of rainbow beans?"

"Five hundred. No, five hundred and fifty yen!"

"Oh? Isn't there a discount? Drinks and snacks are 50 yen off?"

".Ah, yes, there is a discount. 500 yen!"

"Ah"

Ishikawa Katsuyoshi shook his head: "Get him out! Liar!"

"Qiudou Sack. This is really what the crew of "Long Vacation" ordered. And didn't I give you a discount?"

The man dressed as a delivery man shouted,

"Where did it come out?!"

"Humph," Ishikawa Katsuyoshi snorted, "Stores around the park always take the opportunity to raise prices, how can there be any discounts!"

"."

Watching the security guard send the man outside, Katsuyoshi Ishikawa picked up the snack box, weighed it, and then carried it towards the crew of "Long Vacation".

Since we are all members of Tree Friends, please be kind and send the things over.

By the way, you can take a look at the cute and sexy Chikako Aoyama!
