Tokyo bubble life

When everything is progressing step by step, there is an eerie calm in life,

The cherry trees in the yard have withered, leaving bare gray-brown trunks, which occasionally sway in the cold wind; the few weeds in the corners of the yard have become withered and yellow, and they are messy together; the moss on the stone rockery Slightly yellow, but fortunately under the care of Yongshan Naoki from time to time, it is as strong as the potted plants on the ground;

At this time, the white landscape of dry mountains and rivers does indeed feel a bit lonely, with a hint of Zen in the tranquility.

When Naoki Naoyama was cooking at home for the third time, looking at the quiet Yamazakura Garden in the cold wind, he suddenly said:

"This is...the calm before the storm!"

After finishing speaking, he came back to his senses, looked up curiously at his big grinning mouth, and lightly clapped his hands several times: "Bah! What are you talking about!"

"Woof! (You're a dog!)"

At the end of the year, the three major awards of Japanese films (Film Blue Ribbon Award, Japan Film Academy Award, Mainichi Film Award) have also started to be prepared one after another.

In particular, the Daily Film Awards (from December 1st of the previous year to November 30th of this year), which has an earlier deadline, has already listed the list of candidate films for selection, and the final list of nominations for various awards Also to be announced soon.

Naoki Naoyama has seen the list a long time ago. The three films "The Gas Station Robbery Incident", "The Story of Hachiko" and "That Summer, The Tranquil Sea" are all on the list. The only difference is that the first two are on the list. The name of the joint production of Kadokawa Films and Shuyou Films has been raised, and the last one marked is actually an independent film?

Naoki Naoyama didn't understand what was going on. Could it be that this time he didn't go to Kadokawa's national theater chain but a niche theater, so he directly named an independent film?

These were handled by Shuichi Itou, and Naoki Naoyama didn't care too much, but it's not a big deal, as long as there is no problem with the final box office share, it's OK.

There have been rumors in the film industry that this year's box office champion "The Tale of Hachiko" cannot compete for the Best Actor/Actress award because the protagonist is not human. As for other awards, of course they can also win

Although on the surface it is only said that one award is restricted, it also shows the invisible suppression attitude of other awards. This is a small trick under the table.

Naoki Yongshan seems to have heard some judges say during the meeting, "If the protagonist is not a human being, how can the awards set for human beings be selected?" "Even if the box office is high, it really can't be regarded as the best film?" " There are no excuses like the emotion shown by the actors".

And since Kadokawa's resources are basically invested in the selection of Oscars, even if some judges in the Japanese film industry can say a few fair words about the quality of the film, they will not be able to overwhelm the contacts of other established film studios in the end.

"Anyway, let's take it easy~" Naoki Nagayama said relaxedly to Otomo Yoshimura and Masataka Komori in the office.

Komori Masataka's eyes widened: "Naoki-san, that is the top honor in the film industry!"

As a newcomer in the film industry who plans to devote himself to film production in the future, Masataka Komori regards these awards as important things in his career.

Otomo Fangcun also sighed a little: "It would be great if Haruki-san didn't devote all his resources to Oscar."

"Haha, don't show such a sad look~" Naoki Yongshan was still comforting the two of them, "Major awards may be difficult, but at least there will be some small awards! Newcomer Award, Movie Lover Award Category."

"At the end of the year, there are 3 major award selections!"

Otomo Fangcun was infected by Naoki Nagayama's optimistic attitude, and also showed a smile: "That's right, there are also emerging selections such as the Yokohama Film Festival!"

"Hahaha~"

Masataka Komori looked at the two who were laughing, and couldn't help but laugh along with him. As a professional, he still has an obsession with award judging.

"Well, Masahiro-san, don't be so sad. When making a movie, you should focus on shooting the story in your heart. Awards and so on are all foreign things~" Naoki Yongshan gulped down chicken soup for this guy, "as Filmmakers should pursue the film itself!"

Hearing this, Masataka Komori showed a smile anyway: "Hi, I understand."

I drank the chicken soup~

Seeing that the younger brother regained his mood, Naoki Yongshan stopped talking too much, and instead looked around the studio, "By the way, how is Xiu Yisang's movie going? Has the problem of the gangster been dealt with?"

Otomo Fangcun began to pack his things: "It has returned to normal. It is said that the Matsuba Association has inserted a strand and is speeding up the progress. However, I have borrowed a lot of real Yakuza from the Matsuba Association. The movie's "Han Hei" volume' has greatly increased."

"Haha, it will feel more real when you shoot it like this!" Naoki Yongshan also laughed. Sure enough, this kind of thing is just a matter of interest, and the distribution can be negotiated.

"Dayou-san, are you going out?"

"Hey, Junko-san's new song is not strong enough, and needs further promotion." As he spoke, he glanced at Naoki Yongshan, who looked like a resentful woman, "Naoki-san's "Second Love" is full of energy. Akina Nakamori has been in the limelight recently, and she's almost on par with Seiko Matsuda!"

"Ah! That's it, haha, I just said that song is very suitable for Mingcai~"

It is always a bit embarrassing for the song of the president of my own agency to be taken by idols from other agencies, and then overwhelm the head idol of my own agency.

But Yoshimura Otomo didn't continue to say anything, he also knew that "Second Love" had been sent out a long time ago, and Naoki Naoyama had also written songs for other idols.

"But Naoki-san, it's time to prepare for Saito Yuki's debut song."

Naoki Yongshan suddenly remembered the girl who had just signed in: "Is Yuki-chan's training over?"

As a newcomer, it is natural to have to experience professional guidance and training, and the person invited is still the well-cooperative teacher Sachiko Tokunaga.

"It's been almost a month, and it's almost there."

"If that's the case, there's no problem, the song "梦のしずく (Drips of Dreams)" will be Yuki-chan's debut song~"

Naoki Nagayama still has a good impression of this idol. After all, if there is no subsequent emotional entanglement, Yuki Saito is a very sweet girl.

Fangcun Dayou walked out in response, and then made an appointment for a recording studio or something.

Naoki Nagayama and Masataka Komori were left in the office, and Masataka Komori also left immediately, and there were still some filming business to be completed.

Naoki Naoyama, who was alone, naturally didn't stay in the studio much, and drove a convertible sports car to Sanmaiju in Ginza.

On days when the wind is blowing, coming here to drink a cup of hot tea can be said to be a good enjoyment. If it is expensive, it will be a bit more expensive. Anyway, I don’t come here every day. The big deal is the rent of a shop!

It's not that I can't afford it!

Katsuo Yasui, who was at the front desk of Sanmaiju, saw Naoki Yongshan at a glance, and greeted him enthusiastically: "Naoki-san, you are here!"

"Hey, Katsuo-san, is business going well today?"

"Hi, there are already a few guests."

Katsuo Yasui pointed to a few couples of customers on the first floor. They were all tired from shopping and came to the store to take a rest. By the way, they drank tea. Of course, they were basically teas exclusively provided by Qingshui Tea Garden. There were two customers on the second floor who ordered them all. Better tea.

"Is Naoki-san still the same?"

"Hi, sorry."

"Where is it, Naoki-san go upstairs and sit down first."

After Katsuo Yasui heard it, he quickly called Sakakibara Chika to make tea for his store manager.

Speaking of which, the current regular customer of Sanmaiju is Naoki Yongshan alone, who bears most of the store's revenue, and then the revenue will eventually go to Naoki Yongshan himself.

So what is the purpose of going in a big circle?

Naoki Nagayama sat down at the old seat, the wind coming in from the window was a bit chilly, but with the steaming tea and refreshments served by Chika Sakakibara,

After taking a sip of the top-quality jade dew, a warm feeling spread from the throat to the abdomen, and the rich aroma lingered in the nasal cavity, and the whole person was a little awake.

"Qian Xiasang, have you seen more guests recently?"

"Hi, there are about 10 groups of guests every day, and two guests chose the private room on the third floor yesterday."

Naoki Naoyama is also a little curious. The third floor only involves four private rooms, but they cannot receive guests at the same time. One of them has to be reserved for Naoki Naoyama forever. The service fee is very expensive.

"This shows that Sanmaiju is already a bit famous~"

"Yes, I occasionally see middle-aged guests in suits and leather shoes coming over recently."

Originally, I thought that Sanmaiju would be in a state of loss for a long time, but I didn't expect that it was already in a state of balance.

"That's good, Qianxia-san, go get busy, I'll do it myself."

Naoki Yongshan came here to drink tea, and he still likes to enjoy the quiet alone, without constant service.

"Hey, Naoki-san, please pull the knotted rope if necessary."

In fact, it is the bell next to the teahouse, which is made into a knotted style, and you will find it when you pull the front desk.

Slowly drinking a pot of Gyokuro in Sanmaiju, through the glass window, you can see that the streets of Ginza are still full of people coming and going,

Girls in fashionable clothes, and a group of boys around, full of youthful joy,

Occasionally, you can see an elderly middle-aged uncle holding a young and beautiful girl, full of realistic sophistication,

Feeling the warmth of his body, Naoki Naoyama decided to take a stroll in Ginza after a long absence, and maybe he would not want to come out when it gets colder in the future.

After saying goodbye to the principal and deputy store manager, Naoki Naoyama walked on the street full of shops in a windbreaker,

Since there is no exposure for a long time, there is no need to wear a mask now, and there are still very few people who can recognize it.

Just as he was walking leisurely on the street, looking at the latest products from time to time, a small figure wearing a coat and jeans suddenly walked up to him, a plaid scarf around his neck covered his chin, his face was still Wearing a mask and sunglasses,

After walking on the same road for a while, he suddenly said:

"Naoki-san!"

Naoki Yongshan was taken aback, and turned his head quickly, but he couldn't recognize him when he saw the tight arms: "Scare me, are you?"

"It's me!" The girl took off her sunglasses, revealing her impressive eyes, which turned out to be Yuko Tanaka!

"Yuko-san! Why are you here?!"

Naoki Naoyama was very surprised. It stands to reason that Yuko Tanaka was filming "Amagi Gorge Mystery" and "Oshin" at this time?

"Come and relax."

Yuko Tanaka's tone was a bit tangled, and Naoki Naoyama suddenly remembered that there had been rumors of an extramarital affair between Yuko Tanaka and Kenji Sawada in the entertainment newspapers for a while.

He thought it was one of the promotional methods of "The Story of Tonjiro 30: Tonajiro's Lost Beauty". After all, Kenji Sawada is now a top-notch among the top-tier, actors and singers have achieved very high achievements, and they are married It's been a long time, how could there be a sudden scandal.

Sensing Yuko Tanaka's depression, Naoki Nagayama knew that there might be some problems, so he didn't ask any more questions:

"That's a coincidence, I happened to be wandering around with nothing to do. If you don't mind, can Yuko-san go shopping with me?"

Yuko Tanaka also laughed after hearing this:

"Then we two who have nothing to do, let's go shopping together!"

In the following time, Naoki Yongshan began to regret a little, because with Yuko Tanaka, it was not like the previous ones, but started to walk into the store and began to try on clothes.

After meeting an acquaintance, Yuko Tanaka's mood improved a lot. She looked at the new clothes excitedly, tried a lot, and bought a lot. Of course, Naoki Naoki carried a bag.

No, in a store that specializes in clothing and hats, Yuko Tanaka started to pick up again:

"Naoki-san, how about this hat?"

Yuko Tanaka, wearing a lady's wide-brimmed fisherman's hat, has taken off her glasses and mask, revealing Bai Jing's delicate cheeks,

Under the cover of the wide fisherman's hat, most of his face was hidden in the inner shadow.

"Yuko-san, for this kind of hat, it's better to wear sunglasses~" Naoki Naoyama gave the straight man's opinion, "It feels like a summer hat."

Yuko Tanaka looked in the mirror after putting on the sunglasses: "Indeed, but you can also wear them in winter, as long as you match them with fur."

In this way, the most important sun protection function of the fisherman's hat will be in vain. Naoki Yongshan crazily complained from the side, completely unaware that girls buy clothes, shoes and hats, and they are actually looking good.

After turning around a few times, Yuko Tanaka felt very satisfied and happily paid.

Later, I saw Naoki Naoyama in a windbreaker, with a lot of shopping bags in his hand:

"Naoki-san, since you have been shopping with me for so long, let me buy one for you too!" Halfway through speaking, it felt like buying a gift for a child, Yuko Tanaka smiled,

"Haha, consider it a Thanksgiving gift, thank you brother Naoki for helping to carry the bag!"

"Ah, that's it." Naoki Naoyama was about to say no, but Yuko Tanaka began to choose Naoki Naoyama after speaking~

?

Why does it feel like being taken care of by a rich woman?

but it doesn't feel bad
