Chapter 863: Unfinished Script, Disappearing Scripter
When it comes to the hottest person in Japan during this time, he is actually not a big star, but a person who has been dead for a long time.
Yes, that's right, it's Ryoma Sakamoto.
Since the beginning of the Ryoma craze, the popularity has not slowed down, and of course the various historical sites related to Ryoma are more popular than the Ryoma Exhibition, and Nagasaki is one of them.
Nagasaki's premier tourist attraction is Gulliver Garden, the residence of Thomas Blake Gulliver, a British merchant who supported Ryoma Sakamoto and many other men of the end of the shogunate.
The so-called historical places are just the result of being beautified by later generations, and even the urinals used by celebrities can be sought after, how can they be seen in general, so Gao Cheng has always been not very interested in these things, and it is impossible to worship historical figures such as Ryoma Sakamoto, no matter how great the other party is in history.
He's the kind of person who lives in the moment, but that doesn't stop him from looking at the strange and understanding the story of Ryoma.
After visiting several places such as the Confucius Temple in Nagasaki, Gao Cheng followed his uncle and his party into Gulliver Garden, the entire park is not small, and it is as if you have traveled through time and space, surrounded by tourists wearing aristocratic dresses or kimonos.
Gao Cheng kept his face stiff, but his mood was much better.
The innocent, lively and adventurous Ayumi children, although they are very good at causing trouble, but they are rare in this world, and even the little mourning who has always been cold and withdrawn has been affected, and the smile is more and more cheerful.
With these guys here, it can dispel the depression and heaviness of the murder case, Gao Cheng also admitted that he has experienced so many cases without psychological problems, in addition to Xiao Wai, there is also a credit to these children.
However, it would be nice to have a little less trouble......
This will be the only one crew from Tokyo in Gulliver Park filming the end of the scene, which is a two-hour mystery drama set in Nagasaki at the end of the scene, telling the story of Ryoma Sakamoto, who is hiding in the mansion to clear his suspicions, and solve the case.
That's right, Ryoma Sakamoto became a detective this time, and the actor Ryoma Sakamoto is the Kyonosuke he met at the Hakone Onsen Hotel.
"No kidding! How can this be done?! ”
During the filming, Kyonosuke suddenly received a phone call, his face changed greatly, and his voice couldn't help but increase, seeing that he had attracted everyone's attention, he embarrassed and apologetically approached Gao Cheng with his uncle and his party and said, "I'm sorry, Detective Joto, I'll make a call first." ”
said and walked away in a low voice: "So I said, this is not good, you must find a way to cover it up......"
"What's wrong with him?" Ayumi asked curiously.
"Looks like I'm in trouble." Gao Cheng and Kyonosuke are not very familiar with each other, and of course they will not be casual with other people.
"Oh, what's so strange about this," Uncle Maori next to him snorted, "To make a big star look like this, probably it's only a matter of feelings, I think maybe it's a private affair being discovered or something......
"Liar!" Ayumi argued, "Mr. Kyonosuke is obviously single!" ”
"Okay," Gao Cheng pulled Ayumi over, "It seems that it will take some time, let's go around casually first......"
"Great! This is compared to the famous detective Joto Gaocheng, right? The producer of the crew, Taizo Ohki, suddenly greeted him warmly, "I've been looking forward to it since I heard that Detective Joto will be coming, so please make a cameo!" ”
"Huh? Cameo? ”
"No, no, Mr. Oki!" An employee hurried over and said, "Mr. Tatsumi is gone!" ”
"What?" Da Mu was stunned, "What's going on?" ”
"I don't know, I can't find him anywhere anyway, could it be that he has encountered a bottleneck and is hiding again?"
"It's troublesome," the director walked over and said with a headache, "Don't say it's the ending, I don't even know who the prisoner is now, if there is no follow-up script......"
Gao Cheng was stunned when he heard this: "I'm sorry, haven't you finished the script of this play yet?" ”
"No, no way, it's already very tight, but it's ......"
Da Mu wiped his sweat, and suddenly looked at Gao Chengdao: "By the way, Detective Chenghu, can I ask you to help find the prisoners in this play?" You can't just wait for that guy now! ”
"Is that okay?" The corners of Gao Cheng's mouth twitched slightly.
He's not a screenwriter......
"No problem, we'll figure out the other plots," Oki pleaded with his hands folded, "Please, if this drama can't be completed, my company will go bankrupt at that time......"
"That's right......"
"Oh, Joto! What else is there to hesitate about? ”
Maori Kogoro patted Gao Cheng on the shoulder, stepped forward and promised Da Mu: "Of course this kind of thing is no problem, I, the famous detective Maori Kogoro, will also help!" ”
"Ah, so you're the sleeping Kogoro!" Da Mu happily held his uncle's right hand tightly and said, "Thank you so much for this!" Finding the prisoner should be fine. ”
"yes, haha, there's no mystery that I can't solve when I sleep Kogoro!"
"Hey, Hey, ......"
Gao Cheng frowned.
This uncle doesn't know the situation?
"I said you, Chenghu," the uncle shook his head at Gao Cheng privately after getting the script, "You don't have a job because you always hesitate, men should be decisive." ”
Gao Cheng ignored this guy.
A guy who is idle most of the time has nothing to do, how can he be qualified to say that?
"What?!" The uncle flipped through the script in the corner of the set, his face gradually turned pale, and his expression exaggerated, "Where is this called, I don't know the prisoner, and the script hasn't even finished half of it!" ”
"If it were so easy to find the prisoners, those people wouldn't have a headache......
Gao Cheng also got a copy of the script.
The screenwriter in charge of this reasoning drama is a well-known scriptwriter named Xun Gengzuo, who has won various screenwriting awards, and now this play is the original script of Xun Gengzuo, so the prisoner in the play is only known to the scripter himself.
If the reasoning drama is compared to a game, the scriptwriter is the maker of the rules of the game, there is a kind of reasoning drama that is broadcast while filming, first giving a lot of useful and useless information, whenever the audience guesses who the prisoner is, the screenwriter will rewrite the script behind, and the useless details in front will become foreshadowing.
The audience will never be able to fight the screenwriter, even if he is a detective.
It's like now that the plot has just begun in this play, who knows what clues the screenwriter will use later.
Severe lack of information......
At night, the scripter Xun cultivated the hotel room, and the uncle turned over the whole room, not even letting go of the waste paper in the garbage basket.
"Sure enough, it's still too reluctant," the uncle sighed, "the script is not even half finished, and it is ...... to find the prisoner from it, no matter how powerful it is."
"So who the hell said yes?" Xiaolan complained, looked at Gao Cheng, who was looking at the wardrobe on the other side, and asked, "Senior, what now?" ”
"I don't know, but," Gao Cheng said as he opened the closet completely and uncovered the clothes hanging inside, "There are a lot of suspicious newspaper clippings in this closet, all of which are reports about art theft groups......
"This is it!" When the uncle saw the newspaper clipping, he immediately excitedly said, "Maybe he used real events as inspiration!" ”
"But there is no ...... of thieves in the current script at all"
"Maybe it will appear later!"
"This doesn't mean anything at all," Gao Cheng said coldly, "There is nothing related to the theft group in the current script, and I don't know who the prisoner is." ”
Yuan Tai helped to find it for a long time, and he stood beside him with a blank eye.
"How long will we have to find this? I'm so hungry......"
"Ayumi is so hungry, can you have dinner?"
"Speaking of dinner," the uncle touched his stomach sullenly, "I was going to eat Nagasaki's famous mixed noodle soup today, really, I'm even more hungry when I say that, so let's go and eat if I look for it again." ”
"Huh?"
Gao Cheng Yuguang suddenly noticed that someone was passing by outside, and walked to the door, and unexpectedly found that the heroine of the crew, Nanao Futaba, was panicking and planning to leave.
"What's the matter, Nanao-sama?"
"Ah," Nantais Futaba was startled, and when he saw that it was Gao Cheng, he said hesitantly, "That, actually, there is something I want to ask the Joto detective......"
……
Hotel restaurant.
"I'm tired to death, but I still can't find any other clues," Mori Kogoro leaned back in his chair wearily, as if he had given up on treatment, "so I said that the thieves must be the criminals, so tell Mr. Oki about them." ”
"That's too perfunctory......
"Boom!"
"Strange," Mori Kogoro gave the talkative Conan a hammer, looking left and right, "Where's that guy from Joto?" ”
"I don't know, I just did."
"I saw it," Ayumi said spiritually, "Brother Joto seems to have left with that Seven-Tailed Sister!" Right, Xiao Wai? ”
"Is that the big beauty who plays the doctor?" The uncle glared and said, "Damn, when you are so embarrassed, that kid from the city household still has time to talk to you!" How did you get on it?! ”
Gao Cheng walked towards the dining table with a dark face: "Who said I was going to talk?" She just asked me for help, and it happened to be related to the screenwriter Mr. Xun Gengsaku. ”
"Really?"
"What else else?"
Gao Cheng ordered a glass of juice and sat down and said, "Regarding the script, I don't think we need to worry about it, it should be solved soon." ”
"What do you mean?" Maori Kogoro pulled his face down.
This kid is very problematic......
"Since only the screenwriter Mr. Xun Gengsaku knows about the prisoner, wouldn't it be nice to find him?"
Gao Cheng thought of what the seven-tailed Futaba had revealed to him just now.
It is said that a few days ago, Xun Farming almost had an accident, was pushed from behind and was almost hit by a car, and now there are two possibilities for disappearing, one is that he has been killed, and the other is that he feels that he is in danger and hides.
According to the current situation, the latter is more likely to be larger, because the seven-tailed Futaba has contact at night, but the other party refuses to say anything, just tells the seven-tailed Futaba that he is fine.
Of course, Xun Gengzuo still refuses to come back, as if he is afraid of someone in the crew.
Gao Cheng's gaze quietly swept over Conan, Uncle and Ayumi who was eating happily.
Now I'm afraid it's not just a case in the script, but a case related to reality, if his guess is correct, the news clippings of those thieves secretly stuck in the closet are the key.
After all, if it's just for materials, there's no need to hide in that kind of place.
"I'm sorry, Detective Joto," Kyonosuke, the lead actor, still looked a little out of shape, and after entering the restaurant, he sat down next to him and said, "I was going to take you to Nagasaki for a ...... while I was going to rest."
"Where, we are causing you trouble," Gao Cheng gathered his thoughts and asked, "Did you encounter something, if there is anything that can help......
"No, no!" Kyonosuke hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's just a trivial matter, but it's Detective Joto, how is the investigation?" Did you find any clues? ”
"Not yet, but," Gao Cheng paused, and Asakyonosuke asked, "Is there anything special about your crew?" Strange things like that......"
"This," Kyunosuke hesitated, "I don't really know, if you want to say something special, it's probably that, Mr. Oki's production company seems to be very difficult, so this time many actors in the crew are looking at their friendship with Mr. Oki and Mr. Kamihara, and specially reduce their salaries......
"They seem to have worked together a long time ago, and at that time they didn't become popular, so they can be regarded as old friends, including Mr. Tatsumi."
"I see," the uncle touched his chin and wondered, "In that case, why did Mr. Xun disappear at such a time?" I haven't even finished the script......"
……
The next morning, producer Oki suddenly knocked on the door of his uncle's room with the director, saying that he had received an email from Tatsumi Farming.
"What? Did Mr. Tatsumi send the follow-up script by email? The uncle was surprised, "Is there a prisoner's name written in there?" Is it related to the thief group? ”
"I don't know this yet," Oki said helplessly, "because the script is still only halfway written, and although the shooting schedule will not be wrong, new problems have arisen......
"What do you mean?" The uncle looked confused.
Will it be until the end that there will be a gang of thieves?
"With no notice at all, a new character suddenly appeared in the script," the director said in a deep voice, "and there were a lot of lines that looked like a puzzle, so I thought it might be an important role......
"The problem is that there are no actors to play here, and there is no time and money to recruit again......"
Da Mu looked at Xiaolan who came out of the room on the other side and asked, "That, so can you trouble your daughter......"
"What?"
"Mr. Oki," Gao Cheng yawned as he walked out of the bathroom, "can you let me see the new script before filming begins?" ”
"Of course you can," Damu said happily when he saw Gao Cheng and the children of Ayumi who had also just woken up, "The new plot still needs a lot of children, can everyone help?" ”
"Huh? We? ”
Ayumi was stunned and cheered in surprise.
"That way you can be on TV, right?!"
"Yes, that's right......"
A day's shooting requires a lot of preparation, especially the new characters still have a bunch of problems, Gao Cheng took advantage of the gap in preparation to read the script on the set alone.
Xun Gengzuo didn't even bring a computer, which means that he didn't plan to continue writing the script at the beginning, but now he specially found a place to write the script and send it to the producer, which means that it was a temporary decision.
Although he is not familiar with script writing, he has been in contact with many crews and has worked as a consultant.
For Xun Gengzuo, who is a veteran screenwriter, he should not make a mistake like suddenly creating a new character during filming, not to mention that Xun Gengzuo should also understand the difficult situation of the crew, it is difficult to find suitable actors at this time, and funding is also very problematic......
There is only one explanation.
The new script is not meant to be filmed for the crew.
But......
Gao Cheng pressed the printed script and turned his gaze to the busy crew.
Xun Geng wants to hide from someone and pass on the information through the script......
