Chapter 1097 1106, What's wrong with making an exception? !
"Naoki-san, what are you writing?"
Akina came to the study room holding Xiao Xiahua, stood beside the desk and watched Naoki Nagayama typing.
The crisp click of the keys makes the babies, whose hearing is developing, very curious. They lean their heads towards the keyboard. The rhythmic click sounds like an ear massage. This is probably the earliest mechanical keyboard.
"When writing the script for Ghost, the company's screenwriters were too incomplete."
Naoki Nagayama said as he typed.
I have had the script for this movie for several days, and I also took some time to write some of it.
"Is Ghost a horror movie?"
Akina leaned her head closer to look at the script, but after reading it for a while, she realized that there didn't seem to be anything scary about it.
"It's not scary. Although there are ghosts, it's more of a romance movie."
Naoki Nagayama explained the general plot. A couple was separated by Yin and Yang because of a conspiracy. Then the man gave up the opportunity to become a Buddha for love and protected his girlfriend in Japan. The ghost was naturally transformed into a Buddha, otherwise it would be a bit strange to go to heaven~
But when shooting, the special effects are all a beam of light, so it doesn’t matter much~
"I see, this is a love that can't be separated even by life and death~"
Mingcai is interested.
"Did Naoki-san take the photo himself?"
"Yes~" Naoki Nagayama nodded, "It will be released around the end of the year. I will try to make it before Christmas."
"Once the filming is finished, I'm going to watch it in the cinema!"
".good."
At this time, Xiahua's little head in Mingcai's arms also leaned over, her round eyes rolling around, and no one knew what she was looking at, but her hands still reached out to the keyboard, making some ahhhh sounds.
Seeing that his daughter liked the keyboard so much, Naoki Nagayama took Xiahua from Akina's arms, then held her in his arms, put her little hand on the keys, and pressed them gently.
With a crisp click, a smile instantly appeared on the baby's face, and he was smiling happily.
"It seems that Xiahua also wants to be a writer in the future! She likes keyboard so much."
“Maybe I want to be a keyboard repairman.”
With a slap, Akina slapped Naoki Nagayama on the back with her hand, saying how a father could talk to his daughter like that.
"Oh, it hurts!" Naoki Nagayama picked up Xia Hua, kissed her little face and complained, "Hana-chan, your mother hits people! Be careful that she will hit you too in the future! Come on, let's hide!"
As he said that, he picked up the baby and walked around the study, turning his back to hide Mingcai from her.
"."
Who on earth said during pregnancy that she would spank her daughter after she was born!
Akina looked at the father and daughter helplessly, then walked over, poking her head out from behind Naoki Nagayama to look at her daughter. Every time she confirmed that she saw her daughter, she would let out a wow, causing the baby to open her eyes wide, and then she would smile again after seeing clearly that it was her mother~
The late summer sun is less blazing now, and it shines through the window onto the family in the study. The baby in small clothes is held in the arms of the tall father, while Akina in a loose T-shirt sticks her head out from behind Naoki Nagayama to look at the baby~
With the light behind her, I could only see a few strands of hair floating on her face in a messy manner. Her fair and smooth cheeks were shrouded in the halo and were a little blurry. She smiled very sweetly.
After getting the script of the movie "Ghost" from the script center, Naoki Nagayama has been revising it, and it has been almost completed now.
Holding the completed manuscript and storage CD, Naoki Nagayama came to the Shuyou Building.
"Naoki-san, good morning~"
Suzuki Yukika greeted Naoki Nagayama very respectfully. After such a long time, the receptionist had completely understood her position and had adjusted her mindset. Naoki Nagayama was someone she could not reach.
"Hello, Yukina-chan~"
Naoki Nagayama nodded and asked,
"Is Shuichi-san at the headquarters?"
"Hey, Shuichi-san is here these days," Suzuki Yukika replied, "He's usually on the animation department floor."
"Okay, I'll look for him."
Taking the elevator to the animation department on the 5th floor, Naoki Nagayama smelled the scent of paper and ink as soon as he arrived at this floor, the same kind of book scent that one often smells in libraries.
After asking the artist whose workstation was closer, I found Shuichi Idou who was observing the anime adaptation.
"Naoki-san?"
Idou Shuichi was a little surprised when he saw Naoyama Naoki.
"Why are you here?"
"I just arrived at the company and came to see you~" Naoki Naoyama greeted Gosho Aoyama next to him, "Gosho-kun, how are you and Togashi-kun adapting to the new location?"
"Of course I've adapted to such a spacious workroom."
Gosho Aoyama nodded repeatedly. He was very satisfied with the Shuyou Building and the animation division. He felt full of confidence during this period.
"That's good~"
Naoki Nagayama looked at the place where Shuichi Idou had just looked at. It was called a photography station. It was a machine that looked like a scanning camera, and an employee was pasting pictures for scanning.
"what is this?"
"This is the production of animation!" said Idou Shuichi, "Didn't you say you wanted to make a short film before? We are doing it now."
Gosho Aoyama also helped explain:
"The short film is a clip of playing basketball indoors. The base is almost fixed, but the characters' movements, including their expressions, are all drawn one by one, and then the celluloid sheets are pasted according to the positions, and finally scanned one by one."
“Each one is a frame.”
Listening to Gosho Aoyama's explanation, Naoki Nagayama saw that it took the staff about ten seconds to calibrate the position of the picture, and then the machine had to finish scanning before it could remove the picture and lay down the next one.
"There are about 24 frames in one second, and there are 24 processes to be performed, each of which takes almost a minute plus rest."
I calculated silently in my heart,
"It takes almost half an hour to produce just one second of animation!"
Ido Shuichi interface:
"This is just scanning. The previous work includes storyboard scripts, key frame drafts, in-between frames, and coloring. Each task takes a lot of time! Sometimes it takes a day to make one second of animation!"
"." Naoki Nagayama was stunned. For the first time, he felt the difficulty of animation production in reality. "How long is the short film?"
Aoyama Gosho replied:
"The plan is 2 minutes."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, 120 seconds. A short film took 4 months?!"
"No, no, no," Aoyama Gosho shook his head immediately. "It's just that it was a little slow at the beginning. Once the storyboard is ready, it will speed up. Besides, many materials can be reused later, and the painters will become more skilled.
A short film like this would only take a month at most. A mature production team can complete it in about two weeks.”
"really?"
"Hi, we are scanning now and we will probably have the film ready by the end of the month."
"Ah~~ You guys have worked so hard~"
"No, no, this is what we should do!"
The conversation quickly transitioned from a work-related one to one of gratitude. Gosho Aoyama was indeed very grateful. After all, Shuyou treated painters like them very well. He would feel guilty if he didn't achieve some results.
After briefly inspecting the animation production process, Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Idou returned to the office on the top floor.
"Shuuichi-san, at the current speed, it looks like one episode of animation will take at least three months."
Naoki Nagayama took out a bottle of soda from the refrigerator and started drinking.
"This speed is a bit slow!"
"They are just getting started, Naoki-san, give the youngsters some time!"
Shuichi Idou was very satisfied with the progress of the animation team. It only took a short time for them to go from being completely clueless to being able to make a short film.
“Besides, because we have the animation storyboard, there is basically no need for editing. We just need to add the dubbing, which will also save time.
I think in the end, one episode of animation should be compressed into less than a month."
"One month is a bit slow!"
Naoki Nagayama touched his chin. As far as he remembered, the updates of the three major comics were all one episode per week!
so
“It would be best if we could compress it to about a week.”
"This is a bit difficult!" Yi Tangxiu was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "Either we need to increase manpower or increase working hours."
"Haha, I just said that casually."
Naoki Nagayama laughed. He could empathize with the pain of overtime work, but he didn't want to become a heartless capitalist.
Besides, the rapid update of the three major future civilian comics may also be due to technological upgrades, such as computer software or something.
"Anyway, just do your best, Gangchang-kun~"
Yi Tangxiu nodded slightly, took a sip of the drink, and then asked:
"Why are you here today?!"
"Oh, this is it!" Naoki Nagayama took out the script, "The script for 'Ghost' has been revised. I'll give it to Xiuyi-san to take a look at, and then we'll prepare to start filming."
"So fast?"
Idou Shuichi took it, flipped it open and looked at it. His expression was a little strange. He looked up at Naoki Naoyama, then lowered his head and looked at Naoki Naoyama again in surprise.
"? What's wrong?" asked Naoki Nagayama.
"It seems to be quite different from what the script center created, right?!"
Shuichi Idou said that he only read a small part and found that it was completely different from Kouta Ueda's original script!
".I always have to add my own ideas~"
"But this is too different, it doesn't seem like a script at all!"
"What's this?"
In the future, apart from the screenwriter, who among the director, actors, and producers would not add something to the script? Even the screenwriter himself may not be able to recognize the final script from the original one!
"Shuuichi-san, let's shoot according to this script this time~" Naoki Nagayama put down his drink and asked, "Which group of our filming team is free?"
"A group has already started preparing for 'Across the World', and it was decided by Zheng Xiaojun first."
The Shuyou filming team is now roughly divided into three groups:
"Team 2 just finished filming 'Tiger of Ginza' and needs a break. Only Team 3 is left. Mr. Muneo hasn't started working on 'Black House' yet."
"Ah, let's make three groups then~" Naoki Nagayama nodded, and decided on the candidates before his subordinates did. "I also need the prop master Takei Kenhiko from the previous filming of "The Ring". Some props need to be made."
"No problem~"
Yi Tangxiu nodded slightly. The big boss of Shuyou wanted people, so he had to give them to him no matter what.
"Naoki-san, aren't you going to wait until the film festival is over before you start filming?"
"It depends on the situation. I'll find a suitable actor first."
The plot of "Ghost" is not complicated, there are only a few characters, and not many scenes are needed. The special effects are a bit troublesome, but there are solutions. Ghost special effects have long existed in the film industry. In "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time", there is a girl's phantom with white light.
Overall, it’s pretty simple to shoot.
"Have you already found a suitable actress in mind?" Idou Shuichi asked with a smile, "Naoki-san knows actresses best! Right? And Japanese actresses all want to star in the movies directed by Naoki-san!"
".Xiuyi-san, you are slandering me!"
Naoki Nagayama complained helplessly, but there was nothing he could do. After shooting so many movies, it was well known that he could make the leading actress famous in every movie.
The distant one is Saito Yuki, and the recent one is Saejima Nao. Ah, Saejima Nao is a little less related.
Actresses in the entertainment industry naturally hope to be able to participate in Shuyou's films, especially those written and directed by Naoki Nagayama.
"So is there anyone to choose from?"
".Not yet." Naoki Nagayama thought of his frequent collaborators, Yuko Tanaka and Kanako Higuchi, who both seemed to have some shortcomings. "I want to find a female character who is both innocent, beautiful and down-to-earth."
Shaking his head, Naoki Nagayama put aside the selection of the heroine for the time being and continued to talk about other requirements:
"We also need to notify the filming base and order a batch of pottery and clay."
The famous scene of the two people making pottery cannot be missed!
"I still need to find a cat~"
Naoki Nagayama thought about the plot and scenes in the movie and said what he might need.
"As for cats, don't you have a cat named Meow Taro at home?!" Idou Shuu said with a smile, "He's an actor cat!"
".Yeah, that's true."
Naoki Nagayama originally wanted to find a black cat, because there is a saying that black cats can see ghosts. However, most people who raise orange cats are chubby and cute.
"Looks like I can get Neontaro a job again!"
"Hahaha~"
Ito Shuuichi laughed, and then suddenly seemed to have thought of a good idea, and said with a smile,
"Naoki-san, since the cat is from your family, why don't we let Akina-chan play the heroine!"
"And then you get to play the male lead. That way the whole family is complete! Hahaha~"
"."
Naoki Nagayama was stunned for a moment~
Let Akina star?!
It seems that it is not impossible~
Idou Shuichi saw Naoyama Naoki froze and realized something:
"Naoki-san, I was just joking! You're not taking it seriously, are you?!"
"Akidou Madai Naoki-san!" Idou Shuichi sat up straight, "You don't really want to perform on your own, do you?!"
".Akina's image is very beautiful, and she seems to agree with it."
Naoki Nagayama recalled Akina's every move and smile, and spoke slowly.
"His eyes are big and lively, and he is also good at crying scenes. As for me, I am qualified to be the male lead."
As for him being handsome enough as the male lead, that’s enough!
What's more, he is the boss of the crew!
"Naoki-san? Are you serious?"
Ito Xiuyi opened his eyes wide.
"You haven't participated in any acting since Love Letter?!"
"Before, there were no suitable scripts, and Akina and I were busy. But now, since there is a good script like Ghost, then
What's wrong with making an exception? ! "
