Not to mention, after Nakamori Akina's "personal reception", let alone other things, at least the relationship between Cao Zhiqiang and Nakamori Akina quickly became much closer, unlike the alienation they felt when they first met for dinner.

Thanks to this closeness, the afternoon filming of MTV went smoothly, and many shots were taken at once.

Of course, this may also be related to the fact that MTV’s requirements during this period were not high.

In fact, MTV during this period usually did not have a truly complete story. It was usually just like shooting a photo shoot, with a few background clips, and at most the theme was slightly different.

Therefore, shooting an MTV short film is very simple. Just like shooting a photo, let the actors wear beautiful clothes and take a few beautiful shots against a beautiful background.

It is precisely because of this that MTV in the 1980s and 1990s rarely had coherent story shorts, and most of them had the same background as photo shorts.

Some MTVs don't even shoot people, they just shoot some landscapes.

But for this shooting, Cao Zhiqiang insisted on making a short film with a story.

According to Cao Zhiqiang, although MTV is very short and cannot tell too complex stories, it can still tell a short story.

Just like the moment of love at first sight.

As for the song "As Long as You're Here", the style of music is cheerful, but the meaning of the words has a hint of sadness.

After all, Cao Zhiqiang had experience in making movies, and Akina Nakamori also had experience in making commercials. In addition, the characters in this story were not difficult to play, especially the woman. Therefore, it only took one afternoon to shoot all the scenes.

Finished shooting.

"You invite me to dinner?" Cao Zhiqiang asked in surprise.

During this period, Japanese companies, especially those in the entertainment industry, put efficiency first, and there was no such thing as the later theory of failure.

The specific commission depends on the artist's specific performance.

Although Akina Nakamori is not as red and purple as she was later, her income is not low.

At this point, I also heard that the company plans to work overtime and edit all night long.

The train is easy to talk about. After all, it is just a shot of the train leaving, so it is not difficult.

Soon, the two of them arrived at Akina Nakamori's home.

"Hahaha, that's really good." Akina Nakamori smiled, "Then what kind of wine do you like to drink?"

The school is easy to find. You can discuss it with a nearby school and you can just take photos after the students get out of school.

"Because... I'm afraid of eating alone." Nakamori Akina smiled, "It's boring to go back now, so why not eat with you, drink and chat by the way."

But if he goes back now, he will definitely not be able to drink.

When he was disappointed, he found a letter written by the girl.

All that's left is to edit it into a film.

Especially when girls first transfer to another school, they must have a classroom with many classmates in the background, which means a lot of extras are needed.

"Go home." Cao Zhiqiang said.

In short, Cao Zhiqiang believes that since he is going to film an MTV, he should film a short story.

So, half-heartedly, Cao Zhiqiang left with Akina Nakamori.

"Ah, I remembered, I have been busy until now, you haven't had dinner yet, right?

Otherwise, should I treat you to dinner?"

Fortunately, the story is really good, and it goes well with the song.

On the other hand, Akina Nakamori suddenly felt a little embarrassed and did not dare to look directly at Cao Zhiqiang.

"Drink?" Cao Zhiqiang frowned, "Are you old enough? You guys must be twenty years old or older to drink, right?"

The most important thing is that this is the center of Tokyo!

It's just that boys are too shy and have never dared to express their feelings. They just peek at each other silently and help each other silently.

For example, the ending part, that is, the scene where the boy rides his bicycle to the train station, then realizes that he cannot catch up, laughs and sheds tears, and watches the train leave, can be filmed first.

Just like that, the boy smiled and cried while waving goodbye to the speeding train.

The story goes like this. When a male high school student was bored, he suddenly found a female transfer student in his class. He fell in love with her the first time he saw her.

If that doesn't work, I can also make a phone call.

"That's right." Akina Nakamori nodded.

"What's inappropriate!" Akina Nakamori said carelessly.

To put it simply, you want everything to be done quickly, and it’s hard to endure waiting and procrastination.

Cao Zhiqiang had no objection to this. After all, he was a guest and he was not the one paying the bill.

After much deliberation, I might as well just leave it to you.

Not to mention the age limit here, just say that Xu Chun and Anping at home would not allow him to drink.

Anyway, Cao Zhiqiang has finished shooting all the scenes and recorded the songs. The rest basically has nothing to do with him. He just needs to go back and rest directly.

Or it could be the touching feeling of someone who has been secretly in love with another person for a long time, but couldn't find it, and suddenly looking back, the other person is right behind you.

Think about it, small companies that make love action movies in the future can always make classroom series, let alone big companies like Warner Pioneer.

Also, in the library, the scene where a boy meets a girl by chance and can't help but follow the girl secretly can also be shot first.

Cao Zhiqiang stopped and turned around, looking at Akina Nakamori who was running over quickly, with a puzzled look on his face: "Miss Nakamori?"

“I’m tired and happy today, and I really want to find someone to have a drink with.

The plot is very simple, it's a story about two people who have a crush on each other but accidentally missed each other.

The key is that this is a school background, and there must be a certain school lens.

This secret love is a story of mutual secret love.

Cao Zhiqiang shrugged: "How is that possible? I'm not a road idiot."

Then looking at the speeding train, the boy suddenly laughed.

Nakamori Akina straightened up, took a few deep breaths, then smiled and shook her head: "It's getting so late, where are you going?"

Yeah, stop talking, anyway, come with me, let’s have a good drink and relax!”

Finally, after the students were out of school, they went to a nearby high school to take pictures of the school.

"Sake and beer are both available," Akina Nakamori said.

"Ah, that's no problem." Akina Nakamori smiled, "I have a lot at home, enough for us to drink."

"But you are a foreigner." Nakamori Akina shook her head, "You are not familiar here, how can you go back alone? Where is Sada-senpai who is with you? Why doesn't he go back with you?"

Cao Zhiqiang made preliminary calculations and found that the total distance from here to Warner Pioneer's headquarters building is less than two kilometers, which is still very close.

However, just when Cao Zhiqiang found Masashi Sada and planned to go back together, he found that Masashi Sada didn't want to leave either and wanted to stay and edit the film and do post-production.

In this regard, Cao Zhiqiang was very shocked and found that the Japanese social animals in the 1980s were also a group of overtime dogs, not much worse than the Chinese in 2023.

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Ya Zhijun still has to stay to compose music. He might have to stay up all night. I'm afraid he won't be able to go back with me. As for not being familiar with the roads here, that's not a problem."

After a brief pause, Cao Zhiqiang continued: "Don't worry, I will take a taxi back and get off directly at the community where I live. Generally, you can't go wrong.

The only problem is that filming such a story would be troublesome and would require a lot of scenes and extras.

"Yes." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

"That's not bad." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

Time just goes by in secret love.

When passing by a convenience store, Zhongmori suddenly suggested going in to buy some food tomorrow, saying that there were not enough ingredients at home.

"Is something wrong?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

Akina Nakamori was not shy and told Cao Zhiqiang directly about her situation.

Gather together young artists from various departments, plus some younger-looking staff members, and together, you will soon be able to gather a class of students and teachers.

Let’s not talk about anything else. Just the fact that 80 million can buy a house shows that housing prices in Tokyo are not high.

"That's not what I meant." Cao Zhiqiang looked at Akina Nakamori who was smiling, "I mean, why do you insist on having dinner with me?"

The reason is that after watching the original video of this MTV short film, Masashi Sada was not satisfied with the original arrangement and wanted to rearrange it.

But today’s son said that he has an appointment today and he can’t drink with me. I’m so bored by myself.

"What kind of wine do you have at home?" Cao Zhiqiang suddenly asked.

It turns out that Akina Nakamori’s current income is based on salary plus commission.

After seeing this letter, the boy rushed out of class desperately and rode his bicycle to the train station.

So in the end, Section Chief Tomioka decided to increase the funding and shoot!

As a result, the budget will increase, and it will not be as easy as just taking a few sets of photos in a recording studio.

Sure enough, after walking for less than ten minutes, they arrived at the apartment building where Akina Nakamori rented.

Although you have to climb a few stairs, the third floor is not too tiring.
