Tokyo bubble life

Kyoto's Red Fish Courtyard.

Speaking of which, since Red Fish Courtyard was built, it has been managed by a trustee company, and Naoki Nagayama has not been here many times.

So much thought was put into the design, but the real beauty inside is seen more by the housekeepers who clean the house and the workers who take care of the garden.

Just like a billionaire who travels around and comes back a few times a month, the sea view mansion, pet golden retriever, and exquisite garden at home may be admired by others, even the beautiful wife.

Naoki Nagayama and Akina took the Shinkansen for more than two hours, and then took a taxi to Red Fish Courtyard.

When I came here again, although the weather was very cold, the main house had turned on the floor heating, and the whole room was warm.

After handing over to the trustee company, Mrs. Nonaka Mari, who came with me, went back to her room to rest after arranging the luggage and room. However, Akina was full of energy and pulled Naoki Nagayama to walk around the courtyard.

"I have never seen a pregnant woman so energetic~ You are carrying a heavy load!" Naoki Nagayama complained about Akina, "Look at Nonaka-san, she took a few hours' car ride and went to rest after coming here"

"We are used to taking a car ride when we were touring everywhere before, and we are young people!"

Akina didn't care about others, anyway, she didn't feel tired at all, and walked out with her husband's arm,

"Let's go, let's go see if there are any changes in Hongyuyuan."

"What changes can there be."

While saying this, Naoki Nagayama was still pulled out of the house by Akina.

The cold air hit him in the face, making his head sober up all of a sudden, and the winter Hongyuyuan also came into view.

The three main houses have experienced the rotation of the four seasons, and have completely lost the fire when they were just built. The red beams and white walls are still bright, but there is a sense of precipitation over the years.

Some fallen leaves have accumulated on the tiles of the roof, and moss can be vaguely seen in the gaps. Even the plaque on the front, with the gilded "Xiangrui Yumian" on it, has turned dark gold, adding a sense of calmness.

The stream flowing down from the low hill gurgles around the main house, along the viewing pavilion, and merges into the mirror-like pool in front~

In the open courtyard in front, even in the cold winter, the evergreen plants and rockery are well-arranged, forming an excellent landscape, but there are fewer insect sounds, and it is as quiet as a frozen oil painting.

The two walked around the courtyard along the viewing path, stopping and looking, and it took more than ten minutes, and then they had to climb the low hill behind

The narrow stone path in the bamboo forest, a row of red torii, continues all the way to the small temple on the top of the mountain.

This small temple seems to have been carefully taken care of by the caregivers, and it may even be regarded as a place of worship. The smell of incense can be vaguely smelled.

The statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva inside was clean, with his hands folded and looking at the believers who came to worship with compassion.

Naoki Nagayama was not a believer, but just watched Akina put a stack of Prince Shotoku into the merit box, pulled the bell, and then closed his eyes and prayed devoutly for something, and opened his eyes after a while.

Then, as if he had put down a burden, the whole person became relaxed again~

Walking down the mountain, Naoki Nagayama said helplessly: "Akina-chan, you know that the money will be taken away by the caregiver, right?"

"No, I offered it to the Bodhisattva!" Akina said seriously, "It's enough to have the intention attached to it, and the rest is just waste paper"

"Each piece of waste paper is worth 10,000 yen~"

"." Akina rolled her eyes at her husband, "This is a previous vow!"

"Before?"

"I made a wish when I came to Hongyuyuan before~"

"What did Akina make before? What did you make this time?" Naoki Nagayama asked curiously.

"I won't tell you!"

Tilting her head slightly to look at Naoki Nagayama, Akina's cheeks puffed up slightly, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose. Her whole face expressed her current mood - happy~

Although she was five months pregnant, the way down the mountain seemed agile and brisk~

Before Naoki Nagayama and his team arrived, Hongyuyuan had been idle.

This time, it was used as the base for the jury of the Japan Film Academy Association, which was something that no one else had thought of. The company that managed the courtyard also hurriedly cleaned it up, and then equipped it with a housekeeper and a chef, so that Hongyuyuan was ready.

With the arrival of Nagayama and his wife, the judges of this session gradually arrived one by one.

"Director Nagayama, long time no see!" "Ah, Director Yamashita, thank you for your hard work this time!" "No, no."

"Director Oshima, welcome~" "Director Nagayama, the scenery here is nice. I heard it's your villa?" "Hahaha, it's just a holiday house"

"Director Yanjing." "The style here is somewhat similar to that of Phoenix Garden~" "It was built in that style"

As judges, it is naturally impossible for all of them to be directors. There are also well-known producers, film critics, and senior actors in the Japanese film industry.

With the arrival of these people, the originally deserted Hongyuyuan has become lively.

Of course, the distinctive Hongyuyuan has naturally attracted praise from all walks of life. Some of them are really envious. After all, movies make money, but the money is divided by the producers. Even for well-known directors, not many can afford to buy a courtyard.

Everyone usually knows that Nagayama Naoki is a rich man. After all, he is both a producer and a director. When Neon actors' fees are not high, he pockets almost all the money earned from each movie.

But how rich he really is, I really had no idea until I saw this private courtyard.

So everyone looked at Akina Nakamori, who came out to greet everyone with Naoki Nagayama, and was now busy helping everyone settle in, and everyone was filled with emotion.

Although Akina Nakamori, a young idol, is very beautiful, there are many people who are prettier than her, but she got a big deal by marrying Naoki Nagayama!

People like them who already have a certain status and reputation in the entertainment industry will not marry an artist easily. They must find a wife who is well-matched.

In this way, in the upper class society, you will not lose your status, and you will have a good wife to help you deal with various relationships and help your career to a higher level.

If you become a politician or the son-in-law of a chaebol, you can even rise to the top in one step.

Naoki Nagayama was still too young and had not resisted the temptation of beauty. He actually got married and had children early.

Otherwise, there is a girl of the right age in the house of my aunts and uncles. She is from a good family, beautiful and can run a household. I can definitely introduce her to him!

However, when Akina Nakamori came over with a big belly and thanked everyone for taking care of her husband, everyone still responded politely. This was because she was Naoki Nagayama's wife and was about to give birth to Naoki Nagayama's blood!

A wife is valued based on her husband, and a mother is valued based on her son.

At this time, they were shocked to realize that Naoki Nagayama no longer needed a wife to enhance his class. He himself was one of the top people in the neon social pyramid!

So he marries a wife, as long as the wife is someone he likes

In the evening, the chef's delicacies were ready, and Naoki Nagayama also sat at the dining table with everyone. As the chairman of the jury, he raised his glass:

"Mina-san, due to health reasons, Akina will not eat with us. In the next half month, I hope everyone can work together to select this year's Film Academy Awards!"

"Of course!" "Let's do it together!" "Have fun watching the movie!" "."

After everyone agreed, they began to enjoy the delicious food. Naoki Nagayama did not continue to toast or anything. Instead, he discussed with the judges this year's interesting movies and possible future movie trends.

"This year's "Ran" directed by Akira Kurosawa, I think is very good."

"That's true~" "Director Akira Kurosawa's directorial skills."

"."

Over drinks and meals, the jury for this year's Academy Awards chatted late into the night.

As director Naoki Nagayama has temporarily left, but the work of Shuyou Group has not stopped, nor has the entire entertainment industry.

In the cold wind, the popularity of "The Legend of Hayato" is getting higher and higher. Especially on the first weekend after the new year, the audience who went to see this movie sold out all the tickets in the cinema!

In important cities such as Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya, and Hokkaido Sapporo, the most popular movie at this stage is undoubtedly "Hayato" produced by Shuyu Pictures. It has even reached the point where you can't chat without watching this movie.

At this time, Nagayama Kumahara, who came to Kobe, was meeting with other middle and high-level executives of the Yamaguchi-gumi, hoping to radiate the influence of the Nagayama-gumi from Shizuoka to the Kinki region.

"Isn't the East Asia Club in Tokyo already in decline? Kumahara-san, why don't you go to Tokyo?" the leader of the Haoyu Club said while drinking, "The Kinki area is very chaotic now. Those guys from the Iwakai Club are always in trouble. There’s a war!”

"Haven't you settled down recently?" Yongshan Xiongyuan said unexpectedly.

"How is it possible that until Hiro Yamamoto of the First Peace Conference dies and the First Peace Conference disbands? This 'Yamaichi Resistance' will never end!"

Another group leader of the chapter club who was drinking together was already a little drunk and said with a smile,

"In fact, now, everyone is tacitly agreeing not to end this struggle. In fact, everyone does not want to have another manager on their head."

In fact, the fourth generation of the Yamaguchi-gumi has been dead for a year. There are not many direct organizations of the Yamaguchi-gumi, such as the Akyoukai and Goyoukai, who really want to help him avenge him!

Because everyone has discovered that as long as Masahisa Takenaka is not avenged, the next generation of group leaders will not be able to take the position legitimately. In other words, now the subordinate organizations of the Yamaguchi group can go their own way and make money each!

No matter which side wins Shan Yi's fight, powerful team leaders like them will have a hard time! Everyone is the boss of the club, who really wants to have another guy above them!

"I see."

Nagayama Kumahara nodded. He already understood the current situation in Kobe. In fact, except for Kobe, the headquarters of the Yamaguchi-gumi, which is still fighting, there is almost no conflict between the Yamaguchi-gumi's rudders in other cities.

Originally, everyone joined the Yakuza just to make money, but for tens of thousands of dollars, you want me to work hard for you? !

"Over in Tokyo, the Inagawa Club is too strong. Our Nagayama group can't get in!"

Nagayama Kumahara explained that it was actually his father who specifically told him that Tokyo was the retreat for the Nagayama family. Even if Nagayama Kumahara wanted to develop in the Yakuza, he could not go there.

"Hahaha, could it be your father Hayato Nagayama? The enemies he left behind when he was young are still there!" One Wakatou laughed, causing others present to laugh too.

"Yes. When Hayato Nagayama was young, he offended everyone in Tokyo!"

"Otherwise, why would I go back to my hometown, haha~" "Speaking of which, making a scene in Tokyo is indeed very majestic!"

"I don't know if one versus ten is true. Hey, Team Leader Xiong Yuan, was your father really that brave when he was young?!"

"."

Nagayama Kumahara drank the wine in one gulp and complained silently in his heart.

"Father, even in my hometown, you can still steal the limelight from me in Kobe. "The Legend of Hayato"."

"I will ask Naoki to make a movie for me in the future, and it will be called "The Legend of Xiong Yuan"!!!"

He knew that "The Legend of Hayato" was very popular among the Yakuza, but he didn't expect that "The Legend of Hayato" would be so influential that even the team leaders had read it.

Raising his head, Nagayama Kumahara showed a generous smile:

"Of course, my father is famous for his bravery. Look at my body, I have inherited his physique!"

Saying that, Yongshan Xiongyuan also bulged his biceps and laughed with everyone.

When the team leaders looked at his muscular body, they couldn't help but nod. He must be a good fighter!

After drinking a few more glasses of wine, Nagayama Kumahara secretly continued to negotiate with several group leaders. Even if he did not work hard to fight against the Iwakai, the small city in the Kinki region close to Shizuoka could seize the Iwakai's territory. Come here!

"We, the Yongshan Group, will send people, you will speak out, and then we will seize the territory. We will add two to one and make five, and we will divide it evenly!"

"This is okay." "You really don't need to put in any effort?"

"Of course you have to contribute. When the First Peace Society counterattacks, you must be on the same front as me!"

"Hahaha, that's good~"

The group of people continued to drink happily. The other team leaders wanted a free territory, but Nagayama Bear's principle was to open an opening to expand into the Kinki area.

Which side made the profit? It depends on the future!

In addition, back to "The Legend of Hayato". It is also very popular among the Yakuza elements, so there are many immature delinquents who have ambitions to copy Hayato Nagayama's path to success.

Some people head directly to big cities, hoping to start from the bottom and work their way up. Some people directly gathered people and collected protection money on the street, but they were attacked by the police and the local Yakuza!

Some people contacted the police privately and wanted to become informants. This made the police chiefs dumbfounded.

There are also some teenagers who like cosplay. I don’t know what’s going on recently. They like to wear half-old kimonos. When they meet their friends on the street, they say a few half-English and half-Japanese names. “Baga Aibo~Sashi Bu reason!"

Fortunately, school is still on vacation, otherwise these guys would definitely be kicked out of the academy!

The box office of "Hayato: New World" in its first week has exceeded 700 million, almost catching up with the box office of other movies throughout the year!

According to industry estimates, the final box office of this movie will definitely reach more than 3 billion, and if optimistically, it can reach 4 billion. If it wins the grand prize like "Summer of Kikujiro" and is released abroad, the global box office may be even higher.

But winning the prize seems unlikely.

The Japan Film Academy Awards was held last year, and this year’s jury chairman is still Naoki Nagayama. He will definitely not choose his own film!
