Chapter 85

Three Agreements

In early August, a week after meeting Takeshi Kitano at the last summer festival, Shirakawa Kaede sat with this senior brother again.

The location has also changed from Asakusa last time to the Shonan coast of Kanagawa now.

This is the filming location of the movie, the sea, the beach, and the waves, which perfectly fit Kitano Takeshi’s entire imagination of the sea.

The location is also very close to Tokyo, less than an hour away, making it very convenient for everyone to travel between the two places.

Especially Shirakawa Kaede, he also has to take care of Ota District. It is close, so he can rush back quickly if anything happens.

Fortunately, it's summer vacation and there are no classes. Apart from Shirakawa Electric, this is the movie theater.

He has enough energy to deal with these things, but if necessary, he must agree with this senior brother in advance. Bai Chuanfeng is afraid that he will not uphold martial ethics again.

Shirakawa Kaede found Kitano Takeshi who was pointing at the coast with the crew, "Senior Brother Kitano."

Kitano, who was wearing a T-shirt and sandals, turned around and said hello from a distance, "What's the matter, Shirakawa-boy?"

"About the shooting..." Bai Chuanfeng hesitated to speak.

After hearing Takeshi Kitano's assurance, Shirakawa Kaede breathed a sigh of relief.

"Kitano-san, the camera position here is not very reasonable. I have never filmed like this before."

As long as it doesn't conflict with the crew's filming, he doesn't care about these things.

“Why not check in advance?!”

“…”

The originally soft gray-black beach beneath his feet soon seemed to have been plowed and was full of ravines.

With his senior brothers and sisters in charge of finance and personnel, he can be relatively assured. Besides, he himself goes back to Ota District every day, so he can take care of them.

Compared with his colleagues, the people working behind the scenes felt that they were senior and had a high self-esteem.

The conversation with Takeshi Kitano had just ended, and he began to work non-stop on the arrangements for the set.

"Kitano-san, too bad, the size of the film I brought is wrong. I might not be able to take pictures tomorrow."

Well, this is the smelly sea.

Bai Chuanfeng couldn't give him any advice, he could only encourage him like this.

Within an hour, Takeshi Kitano, who had been in high spirits just now, was overwhelmed by various problems.

Seeing Takeshi Kitano nodding, Shirakawa Kaede was not polite and continued to make a three-chapter agreement with him, "Besides, except for this movie, I will not appear in the movie again."

He couldn't help with research and development matters, so he had to rely on Yamazaki Hui, a top student.

"I understand." Takeshi Kitano glanced at him ambiguously, "Tanaka Yuko-san, we will take care of the later publicity, don't worry."

However, this movie is quite special. What was difficult was the conception, and the actual shooting was actually very fast.

There is no official shooting today, just selecting the scenery in advance. But even so, Takeshi Kitano is still busy.

So taking advantage of the two-month gap, Shirakawa Kaede had the energy to participate in Takeshi Kitano's movie.

"Oh, by the way, there is no need to focus on me in the future promotion of senior brother's movie, you know..."

It seems that the boy Baichuan was abducted by him semi-forcedly, so he should take care of him.

In this way, a lot of scene switching time is reduced, such as the Shonan coast at your feet.

He has already calculated the schedule, time, etc., perfectly.

"Brother Kitano, the filming of the movie will start soon, but there are some things that need to be settled first."

The crew was about to start filming, and seeing his dozens of people surrounding him, Kitano was so high-spirited that he even spoke louder.

"Hey, Shirakawa boy, do you still have opinions about the movie? Let's hear it." The smug Kitano Takeshi waved his hand, indicating that Shirakawa Kaede should speak directly.

But he couldn't get angry directly with everyone, because he knew that these thorns were just waiting to make him, a rookie, embarrassed.

Kitano Takeshi looked at him funny, this guy hadn't even finished filming yet, and he started to give opinions.

Kitano, whose face was flushed from depression, walked up and down the beach with his arms akimbo like an angry bull.

The Obsidian record player business is on the right track, just keep running the business step by step, Hasegawa Hiroshi will take care of it.

"Who would have thought that there would be problems with the film that producer Sang bought?"

Bai Chuanfeng took a mouthful of the salty sea breeze and almost coughed.

Before Kitano Takeshi wandered around for a while, shouts of various questions came from time to time in the venue.

Kitano Takeshi was startled when he heard Shirakawa Kaede's cheering sound.



Shochiku is one of the oldest studios in the RB film industry. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a living fossil in the film industry.

Shirakawa Kaede felt a little embarrassed by Kitano Takeshi, but he was too lazy to explain, so he left it at that.

Many scenes are almost in the same location, and there is very little dialogue.

"Haha" Kitano Takeshi laughed out loud. He reached out and patted Shirakawa Kaede on the shoulder, "Shirakawa boy, you have the attitude of President Sang."

What's more, a manga talent like Kitano Takeshi is the director. Although everyone doesn't say it, they secretly despise him in their hearts.

However, he did not express his position immediately, but nodded calmly, signaling Bai Chuanfeng to continue.

According to Shirakawa Kaede's prediction, the filming of the movie was completed, and Shirakawa Electric's development of the Walkman was about to begin.

"Brother Kitano, don't give up, remember the spirit of a Showa man."

Seeing that he was free, Bai Chuanfeng walked to him and stood side by side with him, looking at the rough sea.

It was his first time as a director, and he was still a cartoonist. Many senior people in the crew were actually quite disdainful of him, and some looked down upon this cartoonist.

If, as a director, he is stumped at the first step, that would be troublesome. We don’t know how long the subsequent shooting cycle will take.

Bai Chuanfeng looked at Kitano Takeshi and raised two fingers, "Two months at most, preferably before the end of September. Look, brother..."

According to Kitano Takeshi's estimate, more than half of the film's shots will be completed here, so the entire filming time will not even take two months.

"Ahem..." Bai Chuanfeng coughed lightly, "After all, I am also the president-san."

"Hey, senior brother, you also know. I have other things to be busy with, and school will be back in session soon, so the shooting period can't be too long."

After laughing, he nodded again, "I know, the crew will give priority to filming your scenes. After all, we can't disturb our president Sang's work."

Kitano Takeshi exchanged a few words with the crew members around him, then nodded and told them to go ahead and get started.

It's okay to say that the people arranged by Mori Masako have worked together before, so we all have some kind of friendship.

However, some of the staff are from Songzhu.

"Kitano-san, I suggest you add some overhead shots. If there are too many static shots, the audience will doze off~"

Then he touched his head and seemed to think of something. "Shirakawa boy, you are right. How could a Showa man be stumped by this?"

After saying that, he continued to go to Mori Masayo and the others to discuss things with great vigour.

Seeing this scene, Shirakawa Kaede smacked his lips, wondering what kind of trouble this senior Kitano was trying to pull.
