Tokyo bubble life

The weather in the morning was a bit depressing, the sky was gray, and the rain was gathering momentum in the clouds, exacerbating people's irritability.

Pregnant women in the third trimester sometimes have ups and downs in their moods. Akina looked a little depressed, irritable, and wanted to cry when she looked at the sky.

Today is the blessing ceremony for the launch of "Tiger of Ginza" again, and Nagayama Naoki had to go, so he had to take her out to relax.

As soon as she mentioned going out, Akina obviously felt better and started to dress up.

"It would be rude not to use cosmetics on such an important occasion."

"It's not too formal." Nagayama Naoki said, and then immediately changed his mind when he saw his wife's expression, "Even Akina is the most beautiful without makeup!"

".Hmph~"

Akina, who loves beauty, ignored him and continued to take care of her appearance in the makeup mirror. At least mild eye cream and lip balm didn't matter.

After a period of time, Nagayama Naoki entrusted Yotaro and Nyaotaro to Mrs. Nonaka Mari, while he drove the Toyota Century and rushed towards Ota District with Akina.

As a fashion expert, Akina wears a loose bottoming shirt inside and a purple floral gauze dress on the outside, which covers her belly very well. She looks like a girl with a little baby fat, and Fat Nai The periods are eight times similar.

Looking at the scenery outside the window along the way, I felt full of energy~

"It seems that I have never been to the filming base in Ota City."

Nagayama Naoki drove the car smoothly and took the time to reply:

"It was built not long ago, and I only started coming here often last year."

"Were the previous films "Squid Game" and "Century of Love" filmed here?"

"Well, there's still a studio inside~"

"."

The integrated shooting studio is almost the same as Hollywood abroad. There are now many supporting shops stationed outside the base, and even major film studios have set up offices.

After all, Tokyo is so big and there are only so many movie shooting bases, but there are more and more shooting projects every year, so it is normal to rent a studio sometimes.

Many people have gathered in the filming base. This is a movie with multiple parties involved, so there are many more people coming to pray than before.

"Naoki-san, you're here~"

Komori Masataka was originally talking to others. When he saw Nagayama Naoki coming, he quickly came over.

"Ah, Akina-san is here too."

After seeing Akina Nagayama following him, there was a look of surprise in her eyes.

"Mingna is bored at home, so she just came out for some air."

Naoki Nagayama explained with a smile, and his wife next to him also responded with a smile in time:

"This time "Tiger of Ginza" will depend on Masataka-kun~ Gonba Dad~"

"Hey, I'll do your best!"

After walking into the crowd of attendees, Nagayama Naoki kept saying hello to everyone, while Akina didn't have any stage fright, nodding and smiling very gracefully.

Almost everyone present was from the entertainment industry. Some of Naoki Nagayama’s friends, Akina, were also familiar with her, and some who had never met her. Most of them knew Akina Nakamori, so there was no obstacle for Akina to blend in.

"Are you still Granny Murata today?"

Nagayama Naoki approached Yoshimura Otomo and asked.

"Well, because it is an important project," Yoshimura Otomo glanced at the goddess who was warming up and said, "If it is a TV series or something, I can ask Grandma Murata's apprentice to come, but today I have to leave it to Grandma Murata herself."

Granny Murata, the village goddess who has been working with Shuyou since "Convenience Store Robbery", is now the priest of Ichikato Shrine.

Because tree friends have always been thriving, the original rural shrine was considered very efficacious, thus attracting many small and medium-sized film and television companies to visit it or to perform rituals.

And because of the economic situation in the early stages of the bubble, everyone had spare money, and the movies were selling well anyway. Therefore, most of Murata's rituals were full of merit, which added to her credibility.

So in the past few years, his influence has become more and more important, he has actually made a lot of money, he has recruited several apprentices, and even the shrine has been renovated.

"Alas" Naoki Nagayama sighed as he looked at Granny Murata, who was very old but wanted to dance the great dance. "She's not young anymore. I'll give you more red envelopes after the ceremony is over."

"It's ready!"

Just as he was saying this, Kyū Kijima walked forward with a group of actors. Leslie Cheung and Tony Leung Ka Fai were among them, forming a square formation.

Then Yoshimura Otomo, Nagayama Naoki and Itou Shuichi all stood at the front. Akina only watched the ceremony from one side because of her pregnancy.

Mother-in-law Murata wore colorful divine clothes, shook the bell and recited incantations.

"The sky is clear and the earth is clear."

Naoki Nagayama naturally translated Granny Murata's inaudible chants into Taoist prayers. He knew better than anyone else why movies were so successful in the past, so he naturally didn't worry about praying, but everyone else seemed very pious.

In the superstitious Neon, a sudden rise of forces like tree friends has always been considered to be blessed by gods.

And a leader like Naoki Nagayama, if he had been in the Warring States Period, might have been regarded as the reincarnation of a god in the sky.

Maybe someone will find silk from the belly of a fish, find a strange sculpture from the river, see a brightly colored snake in the woods, hear a fox barking in the grass at night, etc.

After an inexplicable and intense dance, Kijima Kyū, under the guidance of Panting Murata's mother-in-law, offered incense to the gods in all directions, praying for smooth filming of "Tiger of Ginza" and good sales in the future.

Everyone also bowed and prayed

This blessing ceremony is finally over~

After the blessing ceremony.

During the chat, Naoki Nagayama introduced Leslie Cheung to Akina Nakamori.

"Ms. Akina Nakamori, I am Leslie Cheung from Hong Kong. You can call me Leslie for this first meeting~"

Leslie Cheung, who often pays attention to the neon entertainment industry, is naturally very familiar with Akina Nakamori.

"This is our first meeting." Akina said with a smile, "But my name now is Nagayama Akina. I'm already married~"

It is normal for Chinese people to be unfamiliar with the fact that Neon needs to change his surname when he gets married, so Akina explained it casually.

"I see. I'm rude~"

After greeting each other about the situation and expressing friendship, the meeting ended. Because "Tiger of Ginza" is about to start shooting for the first time, Leslie Cheung, as the leading actor, has to put on makeup and change clothes.

"How is it? Is Leslie easy to get along with?" Naoki Nagayama asked.

“Although we have just met, I feel like he is a very gentle person.”

Akina only said a few words to him, without any deep feelings. She looked at Nagayama Naoki,

"But it feels like he and Naoki-san have two different personality types. Why would Naoki-san choose him as the protagonist?"

"Huh? Am I not Asasi's type?"

Nagayama Naoki was a little surprised. Everyone said that he was the type with central air conditioning.

"Naoki-san is easy-going. Just like an adult looking after a child." Akina said, "Actually, I have wanted to ask for a long time if Naoki-san treats other people like children because he is so talented. (IQ crushing).”

"Well" Naoki Nagayama shook his head, "Absolutely not."

He just knows a little more than others!

After improving his status by relying on his information advantage, others will look at him with an aura, and he will be superior to others in everything.

Finding faults in the weak and finding advantages in the strong is human nature.

While the two were chatting, the first scene of "Tiger of Ginza" began to be filmed. The newcomer in a suit joined a stock company in Ginza for the first time and began his journey as a stock broker.

Although Leslie Cheung is already in his thirties, he has styled his hair and put on a suit, and there is a clear stupidity in his eyes. Anyone would think that he is a young man in his early twenties. His innate conditions are so good~

Under the leadership of the seniors, the newcomers were taken into the office room where the phone was being made, and for the first time they saw what an atmosphere surrounded by money was like.

It was an atmosphere full of swearing, irritability, impulsiveness, exasperation, elation, and an atmosphere that made people want to participate!

In a repressive cultural atmosphere like Neon, guys in the stock market can be said to be open-minded.

In Shizuoka's hometown, the eldest brother Nagayama Aoki is in the house with his father and mother.

There were two people in the Japanese room, one was a lawyer in formal attire and the other was a bank employee.

"Mr. Yongshan, just sign here."

The bank staff handed a document to the legal affairs department and then handed it to Nagayama Aoki.

“After signing the signature, the loan can be issued.”

"Hi!" Nagayama Aoki glanced at the lawyer, signed his name and stamped it, "That's enough, right?"

"Yes, we will disburse the loan within a few working days"

"Arigado~"

After the person left, her mother Nanako Nagayama asked worriedly:

"Aoki, are you mortgaging your home? What if you can't repay the loan?"

"There's nothing to worry about." His father, Nagayama Ken, said, "Just listen to Naoki."

After all, with Nagayama Naoki's current wealth, there is absolutely no chance that he would cheat his brother.

"Yes, Ogasan, don't worry." Nagayama Aoki smiled heartlessly, "Naoki called me and told me that in addition to this apartment, I can also mortgage my apartment in Tokyo, and then buy more properties."

In fact, while filming "Late Night Diner", my family already made a fortune, and by the way, I renovated my izakaya for free.

In Shizuoka, Nagayama Aoki is already a well-to-do family.

However, when Nagayama Naoki went back to visit before, he also noticed that his father and mother were worried about the future of Nagayama Weedao. After all, they were already older. Seeing that the gap between the two sons was getting wider and wider, they were also worried about whether there would be a gap.

So Naoki Nagayama talked with his eldest brother about whether to participate in the film and television business of Shuyou Pictures or the investment of Shuyou Capital. After all, with a little bit of investment, he could double his wealth and become a rich man.

However, the eldest brother Nagayama Aoki refused:

"Naoki, I know you mean well, but I don't like those things."

Nagayama Aoki grew up honestly, and his biggest wish was to take over his family's izakaya, and then go fishing leisurely at the beach in his free time.

Now I have a virtuous wife and son, and I have nothing more to pursue in this life.

Also, how could a family that was able to raise a dull second son raise an ambitious eldest son?

If his father Nagayama Ken is ambitious, then his grandfather Hayato Nagayama will definitely help him. Becoming the leader of the Nagayama group will definitely not be a problem. After all, the eldest son Nagayama Kumahara is somewhat alone. It is extremely difficult to have a blood brother. Big boost.

"If that's the case, then don't make investments that require too much effort."

Nagayama Naoki nodded after listening to his elder brother's words,

"Then just be a landlord and just collect rent in an ordinary way. Leaving it to weeds in the future will also be a part of the family fortune."

So after I went back, I notified the legal and bank personnel and asked them to come over and help with the property mortgage. Then Shuyou's real estate company would help use the funds to buy a suitable property and then continue the mortgage.

In short, before the bubble bursts, it would be absolutely no problem for Big Brother to use his own money to buy a batch of real estate and then rely on rent collection. Yongshan Weecao would be confident in whatever he wants to do in the future.

As for the parents, just live a good life and don't worry too much. There is absolutely no problem in providing for the elderly!

As for the youngest sister Nagayama Tsuruko, we will wait until she graduates. Anyway, it will be embarrassing for the older brother to rely on his younger brother as an adult, but it is normal for the younger sister to rely on his older brother~

"When is Akina's due date?"

Nagayama Ken asked.

"It's August, probably early ten days. The more accurate time will take some time."

"August."

Yongshan Ken took a sip of tea and said to his eldest son,

"It's just in time. It's just the beginning of summer. Let's catch more seafood and dry it. Then we can use it to stew soup."

In the coastal town of Shizuoka, the fish is the freshest and the quality after drying is also very good. If you dry it yourself, you don’t have to worry about any additives.

But Nagayama Aoki looked at his father, don't you know that I often fly to the Air Force? !

All the fish I caught were small fish!

"Father, I think it's better to buy it from the fisherman."

"."

Yongshan Jian was stunned for a moment, looked at his guilty eldest son, and suddenly understood,

"What a useless fisherman."

In the afternoon, the cloudy sky in Tokyo finally started to rain.

The raindrops were not heavy, and she didn't feel cold when it blew on her face, so Akina opened the car window slightly and enjoyed the moist air while she was awake.

He was still humming "First Love" by Murakami Takashi:

"

May RainはGreen (Green May Rain)

Sadness, one person's afternoon (a person's afternoon, a little sad)

爱をして、里しくて (falling in love, feeling lonely)

成かぬ思いを热めていた(remembering the indescribable longing again)

"

Nagayama Naoki, who was driving next to him, shook his head speechlessly. He was clearly accompanied by his own companion!

After finishing the song, Akina closed the car window and asked Nagayama Naoki:

"Naoki-san, if you don't participate in the filming of "Tiger of Ginza", won't you have nothing to do next?! Can you stay with me at home?"

"It's not like there's nothing."

Naoki Nagayama said,

"Pay attention to the preparations for the Tokyo International Film Festival"

"Isn't that October?"

"Well, we are already preparing now."

"That's still early~" Akina said with a smile, "What about the others? Is everything okay?"

".If there is something, there must be something."

Nagayama Naoki glanced at Akina strangely, wondering why she suddenly asked,

"We should always pay attention to Yuan Taisang's investment. He also said that he would help us buy an island. We definitely need to go and see it on site."

"Ah, by the way, for the convenience of traveling in the future, I want to buy a yacht."

"Why do you need to use a yacht for travel?" Akina complained. Yanyin was a branch of a yacht company before, so she still understands yachts.

"Of course it's for vacation and to avoid taxes and stuff."

"That's it"

"I still need to perfect the script of "Across the World"," Nagayama Naoki still asked, "What's the matter, you suddenly asked me if I have anything wrong today."

Akina kept it secret:

"I won't tell you. I'll find out later!"

"."

It seems that his wife is quietly preparing for some big move? !

Nagayama Naoki did not ask further questions, but planned to find out slowly later.
