Tokyo bubble life

Tokyo, it's raining.

Ever since he woke up, Naoki Naoyama has been sitting in the corridor of Yamazakura-in, watching the light rain outside in a daze,

I didn't even eat breakfast, and I felt light and light, as if in a trance.

Workers won't spend a long time admiring the rain,

Indoor laborers generally don't have time to enjoy the rain. The never-ending work is placed on the table, and the boss is urging the progress time and time again. How can there be free time? And outdoor workers hate rain even more, because rain will hinder their work and delay today's goal.

Only a guy like Naoki Nagayama who doesn't have a regular job and doesn't have to worry about money for the time being has the mood to waste a morning admiring the rain scene.

The drizzle in early summer is not as turbulent as a storm, but it is not as gentle as a spring drizzle. The cherry blossom trees, the roof, and the fine gravel in the yard are all shrouded in a light veil of smoke, as if wearing a veil. A sheer gauze.

The pattering raindrops fell from the light gray sky, and when they met Yamazakura-in, they made a dripping sound, beating lightly.

When the rain is dripping, lovesickness is most likely to occur,

Naoki Yongshan, who let his mind go blank, wandered aimlessly in the flashing images in his mind. There were people he had met in his previous life, movies he had watched, things he had experienced, and friends he had met in this life. The warmth I got, the fetters involved,

Gradually, there was only one vague figure left in my mind, which seemed to be a woman, smiling and pulling my heartstrings.

The tick-tock sound of the rain became one piece, and gradually turned into a mixed sound of an ensemble of musical instruments. The strange and familiar melody directly occupied Naoki Naoyama's entire mind.

"好きだよと伝えればいいののに (I obviously want to convey the feeling of "I like you" to you)"

"May う be afraid of くて言えず (but because of the future I want, I am a little afraid that I can't say it)"

"好きじゃない好きだよが (I don't like you like you)"

"揺れる恋音と雨空 (揺れる恋音と雨婚)"

The person sitting in the corridor opened his eyes, and the brisk melody seemed to be still echoing in his ears.

Is it this song?

It was the background music I listened to in the middle of the night when I was rushing to make progress——"Love Sound and Rain Sky".

I don't know how many songs like this I still have in my subconscious mind. Anyway, when I listened to songs in my previous life, I wouldn't repeat them all day long.

Naoki Yongshan is already familiar with this kind of randomly evoked memory, he touched Ying Taro who has been by his side all the time,

"Yutaro, did you hear Yuluo's voice? That's someone saying 'I like you', hahaha~"

He walked to the piano room calmly, and while the melody was still clear, he wrote down the score in one breath,

The breeze with water vapor outside the window sneaked into the piano room, the fresh air was slightly moist, and it was indescribably comfortable to blow on the body,

On the second floor of the Yamazakura Garden, there was another nice piano melody, but unfortunately in the remote corner where it was raining, only the occasional passerby with an umbrella could hear fragments of it.

After dispelling the inexplicably evoked thoughts, Naoki Naoki's stomach finally woke up, strongly reminding the owner of the body,

"Is it almost noon?" Naoki Naoyama looked at the wall clock, and hurriedly prepared lunch. First, he poured dog food for Taro,

Speaking of which, Yingtaro, this little dog is really very human. He seemed to feel the depression of his master. When he was watching the rain one morning, he didn't bark quietly.

When I'm hungry, I'm naturally not in the mood for a time-consuming meal.

Simply use the leftovers from last night, fry an egg fried rice with eggs, spinach, and sausage, fry two slices of bacon, and then add sliced ​​fruits for a meaty and vegetarian lunch.

For people who are hungry, eating big mouthfuls can be said to be the happiest thing.

After eating, Naoki Nagayama and Taro played in the living room for a while. On this rainy day, if there was nothing particularly important, he didn't plan to go out.

While watching the Dahe drama in the afternoon, the phone rang again,

"Moses, Moses, Zhishu-san?" He looked very familiar, and Fangcun Dayu was on the other end of the phone.

"Hi, Otomo-san, it's me."

"Naoki-san, the share of the movie has been settled!" Fangcun Otomo said with a hint of excitement in his tone.

"Oh? How much was the final box office?"

Naoki Naoyama only knew that the box office of "Gas Station Robbery" exceeded 2 billion, and he didn't pay much attention after the final cumulative box office.

"After the final statistics, the cumulative box office is 2.7 billion!" Fangcun Otomo should be grinning from ear to ear now, "According to the distribution ratio agreed with Kadokawa, Shuyou Yinghua will eventually get almost 1.4 billion."

Subtracting the dividends of Kadokawa itself, one or three of Naoki Naoyama, Otomo Yoshimura, and Osamu Ido can get about 1.05 billion, and Naoki Naoyama can get more than 700 million!

Not to mention that this is still the first month's dividend. This comedy has a longer lifespan than horror movies, and there will be at least 100 million to 200 million dividends in the follow-up.

"Is that much?"

Naoki Naoyama is actually a little insensitive to the amount of the share now. It is really like what those rich people said, when the amount reaches a certain amount, wealth is just a bunch of numbers.

He has long entrusted Shuyou Yinghua's finances to handle his own wealth. With the continuous replenishment of several cash cows, even though he just spent more than 500 million yuan to purchase real estate, there is still a balance of more than 100 million yuan in his account.

Oh no, now there are 800 million

"Hey, Naoki-san, it's another great event!" Fangcun Otomo's tone was still full of excitement, "Would you like to come out and celebrate?"

"Celebrate~"

Although I am very happy to have made money, Naoki Naoyama doesn't feel like he is celebrating, but the other two are so happy, so let's go out for a meal~

"Of course we have to celebrate! How about going to Roppongi tonight?"

Fangcun Dayou laughed loudly: "Of course, then it's settled, I'll go and book the venue!"

Before Otomo Fangcun hung up the phone, Naoki Yongshan suddenly remembered the song he recalled today,

"Wait a minute, Otomo-san."

"Hi?"

"I don't have a clue about Junko-san's second song yet, right?"

"Hey, I still haven't found a suitable song and producer, Naoki-san, what can I do?"

Otomo Fangcun has been having a headache about this matter recently, and now there is another movie in preparation, Junko Ito's second song is advancing more slowly.

"I actually had an inspiration this morning and wrote a song that might be given to Junko Ito as a second record."

"Ha! I just said that Naoki-san is in stock!" Fangcun Otomo said in a tone of catching others.

"Otomo-san, didn't you hear clearly? I wrote it out of inspiration this morning!" Naoki Yongshan was helpless, "There are no more in stock!"

"Hi~hi~ I believe in Naoki-san!" Yoshimura Otomo replied perfunctorily, "Then let's meet and talk together tonight~"

"See you tonight then."

After hanging up the phone, Naoki Naoyama shook his head, originally planning not to go out today.

The office of the headquarters of Kadokawa Bookstore, the windows are bright and clean,

The drizzle outside does not affect the office at all,

Isao Morikawa, director of planning at Kadokawa Pictures, also reported the film's revenue with president Haruki Kadokawa.

"So "The Gas Station Robbery" surpasses "Sailor Suit and the Machine Gun"?"

Kadokawa Haruki is very different. He is very confident in the films produced by his company. "Sailor Suit and Machine Gun" has spent a lot of effort in both promotion and production. When it was screened, it also set off a scene about sailors in Japan. clothing craze,

When it was the hottest, the police were needed to maintain order when the cinema was showing.

In the previous statistical results, the total box office also exceeded 2 billion. I originally thought that the box office champion in 1982 must be this movie.

"Hey, the final count of "Gas Station Robbery" is 2.7 billion, which has indeed exceeded."

Kadokawa Haruki was really curious this time,

"It looks like my old friend is really amazing!"

"Morikawa-kun, you said that their small-budget film costing no more than 20 million at most, how could it exceed the "Sailor Suit and Machine Gun" that we invested hundreds of millions?"

Isao Morikawa obviously did his homework before,

"From the production point of view, their films are obviously not as good as ours, but the reversal of the plot is very interesting. When it was released, it happened to coincide with the news that the gas station was robbed, which attracted attention.

And because it is a comedy, besides young people, old people and children can accept it, and many of them are watched by the whole family. "

"Well, that's right~" Kadokawa Haruki also nodded, "Sailor Suit and Machine Gun" is considered a youth film, and it also involves gangsters and violence, so it is normal for children not to accept it.

"However, I still want to congratulate this old friend of mine, and I really want to meet those two directors and screenwriters whom he praised so much, Shuichi Ido and who are they?"

"Naoki Naoki is a talented creator!" Isao Morikawa couldn't help sighing after getting to know this person, "Several songs he wrote were bestsellers, and two movies he shot were also bestsellers. Even the novels he wrote , I heard that it has been translated abroad.”

"Is there still such a person? Omo, I want to see him even more! Naoki Naoyama, hahaha, Naoki, his name is almost the same as mine~"

Kadokawa Haruki smiled very happily. He thought he was a genius at first, but now he met another genius with a similar name, so he became even more curious.

"Morikawa-kun, help me make an appointment with Shuyou Films. Let's go to Roppongi to celebrate tonight. Speaking of which, "Gas Station Robbery" is also a movie invested by Kadokawa."

Kadokawa Haruki felt that the way of asking for a stake in Shuyou Yinghua was really smart. He was only responsible for distribution and did not cost himself a penny, but it could bring surprising results.

"Hi, I see."

Isao Morikawa bowed and left the office, feeling a little bit of a sigh in his heart. At first, he thought it was a leather bag company that relied on the relationship of the president to make a living, but it really got up.

In the future, I will have more contact with Fangcun Dayu.

In the evening, after the dinner was arranged for Taro, Naoki Nagayama drove to the studio to meet Otomo Yoshimura and the others.

If you want to drink at night, you will naturally not drive to the restaurant by yourself.

When they arrived, Shuichi Itou and Otomo Yoshimura were already waiting in the office.

"Xiuichi-san, Otomo-san, here I come~" Naoki Yongshan pushed open the door with a file bag, "Aren't you late?"

"Of course not, it's still early." Shuichi Yitang was chatting with Otomo Fangcun, "We're talking about you."

"Me? What did you talk about?"

Fangcun Otomo took over the conversation: "Naoki-san, in the afternoon, Kadokawa's president, Kadokawa Haruki, called me and said that the movie was a big hit, and he wanted to invite us to Roppongi to celebrate in the evening. What does Naoki-san think? ?”

"Huh? I thought of a piece."

Naoki Yongshan was a little funny, but he didn't refuse: "Then go, I've only heard of Haruki Kadokawa's name, but I haven't met him in person yet."

Yitang Xiuyi saw Naoki Yongshan's attitude as if he was going to meet the neighbor's old man, and couldn't help asking: "Naoki-san, that's the president of Kadokawa Bookstore, a famous big shot, why aren't you excited at all?"

Well, how should I say it? For Naoki Nagayama, this one is just another celebrity of the Showa era, and he is still not very famous.

"Hahaha, I don't pay attention to him, why should I be excited? To me, it's just the president of a cooperative company."

Just a president, Otomo Yoshimura and Shuichi Itou were both shocked by Naoki Nagayama's big heart at this time, and unconsciously calmed down a little bit when they saw him at night.

"Haha, Naoki-san is right. When I met Kadokawa Haruki, he was just an ordinary editor." Fangcun Otomo laughed, and then saw the document in Yongshan Naoki's hand,

"Naoki-san, is this the new song?"

"Hey, I just wrote it this morning." Naoki Yongshan emphasized, but the two people in front of him obviously didn't believe it.

Otomo Fangcun opened the sheet music and looked at it: ""Love Sound to Yukong", is it a love song related to rain? Is it really inspired by the rain?"

Naoki Yongshan nodded seriously, "Hi!"

"You two, I really don't have any in stock!"

"Well~ Of course we believe in Naoki-san." Shuichi Ido smoothed things over, "Otomo-san, we'll talk about the song later, it's almost time, let's go."

"It's about time."

Several people got into the taxi that had already parked at the entrance of the studio, and drove to the port area in the darkening rain.

Even if it rains, the popularity of Roppongi has not weakened in the slightest. On the streets, even with umbrellas, there are many gentlemen in suits and leather shoes and well-dressed ladies.

More different cars, all kinds of luxury cars, civilian cars, taxis, and even bicycles?

If you look down from the sky above Roppongi, it looks like dots of various colors are constantly going from the "small box" into the "big box" with lights, or coming out and returning to the "small box".

"As expected of Roppongi!"

Naoki Yongshan walked out of the taxi under an umbrella, and seeing the crowds coming and going, he couldn't help admiring,

"Next time, if there is a real estate transfer here, we must seize the opportunity."

Fangcun Dayou led the way: "Zaoshu-san, what are you dawdling about? Go this way!"

After speaking, he led Shuichi Itō and Naoki Nagayama to the fork in the road, and stopped in front of a building that was neither tall nor short.

Really high-end clubs are basically membership-based, and they will not open their doors to welcome guests at all.

As Tokyo's top playboy Haruki Kadokawa treats guests, he naturally chooses a high-end place.
