Tokyo bubble life

another sunny day

The warm sunshine shines on the streets of Tokyo, making pedestrians on both sides of the road feel the warmth of spring,

In this weather, wearing a thin coat can already have fun in Tokyo.

The roadside trees on both sides of Chiyoda Road are lush and lush. Going north from Jimbocho, clumps of weeds and wild flowers appear from time to time in the gap between the sidewalk and the street. From time to time, you can find a small park. The lush trees have captured the corners of the park. , Even the viewing gravel path is in danger of being invaded.

Red, white, yellow and purple flowers are dotted in the green canvas, depicting a grand scene of spring.

Not far from the small park, there is a small gray and brown two-story western-style building hidden among green bamboos. Next to the building, there is a pink cherry tree in full bloom. The breeze blows, and the pink petals float down and fall on the ground. In an empty courtyard.

Naoki Nagayama on the second floor of Yamazakin is packing his luggage. It is time to fly to New York, USA this afternoon.

He held the phone between his neck and head, but he was folding a coat in his hand, ready to stuff it into the suitcase,

"Otomo-san, I'm leaving this afternoon, the album's promotion should be done step by step. If you're looking for new songs, you can find them at

Look in JASRAC's music library~ Teenagers are so rebellious these days, just find some rebellious and medium songs. "

"What is Secondary School?" Naoki Yongshan was stunned, yes, there is no such definition at this time, but he continued without changing his face, "It's the feeling of a second-year middle school student, heaven and earth The greatest excess of self-awareness of the Big Self."

Then he hit back: "I said Otomo-san, the recording industry must keep up with the pulse of youth, and you can't let the generation gap continue to widen just because you are a little older and middle-aged."

On the other side of the phone, Fangcun Otomo roared: "I'm just a mere manager! Why should I care about the pulse of young people! Isn't this your business as a producer! Also, I'm only in my early forties. For men It is exactly the same age as Hua, do you know that!"

Naoki Naoyama folded his clothes, moved the microphone away with his hands free, and continued to speak after he calmed down: "Otomo-san, you can't just focus on your eyes a little bit, you need to open up the pattern~"

"Ito Junko's initial stage of debut has passed very well, after that, let's continue to work hard according to the conventional idol promotion plan for the time being~" Ito Junko's "Jigsaw Puzzle" sold 60,000 copies in the first week, for a newcomer Already very good.

After finally fooling Otomo Fangcun, the person on the other end of the phone was replaced by the resentful Itou Shuichi. Are these two guys engaged in a wheel battle?

"Naoki-san, you actually ran away at such an important time~"

"Run away! What are you talking about!"

Although I have the idea of ​​avoiding rushing for announcements day and night, I am going to the United States for an exchange in a serious way this time!

The publicity of various newspapers and media is already in place, and the market still has great expectations for the new "Gas Station Robbery Incident".

"Xiu Yisang, such a simple promotional activity actually doesn't use me at all~"

". Naoki-san. Don't quibble, you just want to escape!"

Whoosh! This guy, how can he not let go?

In order to prevent Shuichi Itou from continuing to be entangled, Naoki Naoyama had to come up with a dirty idea: "Shuichi-san, go and inquire about the robbery incident that happened in Tokyo before, and see when the next node of the case is, and see if you can Stir up the news before and after the premiere."

"This kind of propaganda method seems to be a bit..." Yitang Xiuyi was embarrassed to say something, but deep down in his heart he still had a little bottom line.

"A practice that can't get on the stage~"

Naoki Naoyama didn't feel anything. In the Internet age decades later, what is morality? How much exposure can be changed?

"But you can try."

"Hi, I will contact you." Shuichi Ido reluctantly agreed, but he was not in the mood to continue chatting with Naoki Nagayama, "I wish Naoki-san a smooth trip to New York this time~"

"Hi! Shuichi-san, I will remember to bring you a gift~"

"Who wants your gift! Think I'm a child?" Yi Tangxiu muttered and hung up the phone.

Naoki Yongshan put down the phone and smiled: "Hey, don't accept gifts when you have the ability~ I don't like being polite~"

Zip up the suitcase, and put all the prepared salutes in the living room. When a man is going out, a big suitcase is enough for a change of clothes, a backpack, important documents, and the like.

Ying Taro was sent back to his hometown the day before yesterday, and fell into the clutches of Crane again. I hope he is still fine when he returns from the United States.

The people who should be notified have already been notified, and they will be taken to the airport by taxi in the afternoon.

After a few days of press reports, almost everyone who goes to the movies knows that a comedy is about to be released,

According to the reporters who participated in the preview and the interview records of some audiences, the quality of this movie is very good. It is a comedy movie that is suitable for all ages and can make the audience laugh from the beginning to the end;

Professional film critics, from the background and plot of the film, saw the creator's reflection on social phenomena and the exploration of young people's psychology. The whole film is absurd but reveals reality. It is a rare film. darkly humorous comedy films;

Of course, some people think that "Gas Station Robbery" is related to realistic news and may lead young people to the path of crime. Although it is a comedy, there is no need to let the robbers get away perfectly in the end.

And amid these media discussions, a small group in the female dormitory of Meiji University also knew about this movie,

Akiko Tsukada happily told Kono Yona and Fukumoto Shoko who were studying: "Yona-chan, Shoko-chan, and Naoki-san are about to release another movie!"

"Eh? Really? What movie? When is it coming out?"

Ever since I met Naoki Naoki before, this self-proclaimed Naoki Naoki fan group has started to spare no effort to promote Naoki Naoki among his classmates,

But it's a pity that Naoki has only few film and television works. If there is an excellent new work this time, it will definitely attract more fans~

Akiko Tsukada held the newspaper: "There is no specific release time yet, but it will be around the beginning of March. It's a comedy!"

Yona Kono and Shoko Fukumoto came over to read the newspaper reports,

"It looks like an excellent comedy, everyone praised it so much."

Shoko Fukumoto is a bit regretful: "Originally, Naoki-san would act in horror movies~"

Unexpectedly, this most natural-looking girl actually likes watching horror movies!

"But the tape, as long as it's Naoki-san's movie, I will definitely watch it."

Kono Yona also nodded: "If it's a comedy, you can ask everyone to watch it together! By the way, isn't the student union going to hold an event? Why don't you organize a movie? This will let more people know about Naoki-san!"

"Yana-chan, great idea!"

What about America in 1982?

Due to the Gulf Incident, the Iran-Iraq War, and the outbreak of the second oil crisis, the United States is in a very turbulent period, with economic downturn, high inflation, and high unemployment. At one time, some people thought that the United States would re-enter the Great Depression.

Contrary to the economy, the entertainment industry in the United States experienced a strange prosperity under such circumstances. A group of superstars such as Michael Jackson and Madonna emerged. Stallone's "First Blood" also appeared in this year. release.

In New York at this time, on one side are towering high-rise buildings, luxurious life, and glamor; on the other side, there are gangs, street culture, and racial discrimination. The advanced and the backward, the elegant and the vulgar, the order and the chaos, the success and the failure, all converge in a big apple city like New York.

When Naoki Yongshan walked out of the airport and set foot on the land of New York for the first time, he couldn't help but uttered a complaint:

"It's dirty."

In New York at the end of February, the temperature was still hovering around zero. I don’t know whether it was rain or sleet last night. On both sides of the road this morning, white snow mixed with plastic garbage was piled up on the street corner. The pavement is flowing wantonly, and there are unfinished hot dogs, beer cans, plastic bags, rag dolls, etc. in the square. Judging from the smell of the square, it is not ruled out that there is defecation everywhere.

After more than ten hours of hard work, I finally arrived in New York, so you show me this?

There was no pick-up at the airport, and the human and material resources of the event party could not keep up, so the writers who participated in the exchange activities could only come by themselves. Naoki Naoyama called a taxi at the airport and went to The Plaza Hotel in New York, which had already been booked. .

The driver of the car was a black buddy. Obviously, he did not expect this young man with an oriental face to be able to speak fluent English. He was very happy to chat with Naoki Nagayama. Is it in the blood?

When he learned that Naoki Naoyama was here to participate in the writer exchange activities, his tone became more respectful. Although money worship is rampant in the United States, the respect for culture at the bottom still exists.

The traffic jam in New York was not so serious in this era, but it took only half an hour to reach the destination. Naoki Naoyama said goodbye to the taxi driver and looked towards the long-known hotel.

The New York Plaza Hotel has a history of more than 70 years. It has been one of the standard buildings in New York after the founder of the Hilton Group took over and renovated decades ago.

The doorman of the hotel was very attentive and came over to take the salute, and then led Naoki Nagayama to the front desk to check in. There was no strange incident of looking down on people with dog eyes. After all, it is an international hotel, and all the people who come and go are heads and faces. If you are a rich man, maybe the insignificant old man in the Middle East you look at is the sheikh of an Arabian oil field.

When you enter the door, you will see the famous Palm Hall.

Golden French court style, under the huge transparent ceiling is a beautiful gilt carving, countless crystal chandeliers and wall lamps complement each other, silver tableware lying on the white tablecloth, with a touch of broad leaves of palm trees Vivid green, masterpieces of the Renaissance, and the solemn luxury of Western aesthetics are condensed in one hall,

No wonder New York's upper classes like to come here for afternoon tea.

Naoki Naoyama came to the front desk with the doorman. Unlike the Japanese front desk who likes to use young girls, the front desk here is a dignified lady. The meticulous dress and temperament make people feel the professionalism and carefulness of the hotel.

This time, of course, it wasn't the presidential suite. Naoki Naoyama couldn't afford the price of one suite for one night. It was just an ordinary single room on the 6th floor.

The doorman carried the suitcase and led Naoki Naoyama from the elevator to the 6th floor. He opened the door and put the suitcase in the room. Although he didn’t say anything at this time, he still had to give a tip. Naoki Naoyama took it from his wallet. He took out a $1 bill and handed it to the doorman.

"If you have any needs, you can call the front desk to inform us!" The little brother smiled and closed the door.

The purchasing power of one dollar in the United States is already very strong these days.

The single room also has more than 40 square meters, mainly bedroom + living room, and a separate washroom.

Open the window, facing the evening sun, you can clearly see Central Park outside,

Snow covered most of the open grassland, and the branches that had fallen leaves were also dressed in white winter clothes, occupying different areas of the park in a patchwork pattern.

There are slight waves on the unfrozen water, reflecting the broken sunlight,

There is a strange beauty in the sunset.

Decided not to go down for dinner,

Naoki Naoyama called and ordered a simple Wellington steak set meal, and asked the waiter to deliver it to the room~

Get ready to enjoy your first New York dinner with this view.

Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch,

It was morning in Japan at this time, and Nobuo Tomioka came to the office of the Akina Publicity Section early.

He was not in a good mood, not only because he was too busy last night to sleep well, but also because he saw today's newly released "Weekly Wenchun" on the tram in the morning,

And in this week's "Weekly Bunshun", there is an article titled "This undebuted rookie idol stole Matsuda Seiko's diehard fans!" " article,

The article explained the situation on the day of the movie preview, including Naoki Nakamori's admission that Akina Nakamori was his idol, and then later found out in detail the interview with Naoki Naoyama when he was on the show a year ago, to confirm his diehard fans identity.

Not long after, Si Linchao also came over, and it was strange to see Nobuo Tomioka's bad face,

"My lord, what happened?"

Nobuo Tomioka handed the magazine to Si Lin Chao, after a while Si Lin Chao finished reading the article, then frowned and thought,

"This is a good thing!" He gave a qualitative statement to this report. "It's a good thing for Mingcai Jiang. Grabbing the die-hard fans of popular idols will make many people curious about the charm of Mingcai Jiang."

Nobuo Tomioka hesitated: "But this will arouse the resentment of the Seiko faction."

"Hahaha~" Si Linchao laughed, "Xinfujun, what do you think we are doing? We just want to steal fans from Seiko Matsuda~"

Hearing this sentence, Nobuo Tomioka's face became relieved. Indeed, it will be a matter of time before he is resisted by the Holy Son faction!

"Naoki Yongshan, is that the one who invited Ming Caichan to the preview?"

"Hey, I didn't expect this guy to make a movie."

"Hahaha, didn't you take pictures before? It looks like a talented young man." Si Linchao praised him, and then changed his tone, "But we can't let him get in touch with Mingcai Jiang!"

Nobuo Tomioka's face turned serious: "Hi! Although the training course is coming to an end, next week Akina-chan will go to Los Angeles to record, and it will last for a whole week.

The promotion activities after debut will be more frequent, I will make sure that they have no chance to meet! "

Si Linchao nodded. After his debut, the announcement activities he arranged for Akina Nakamori took up almost the entire second half of the year for Akina Nakamori.

This time it was just an accidental mistake.
