Tokyo bubble life

Entering mid-September, the temperature in Tokyo is getting milder. The temperature during the day is around 25°C. You can go out with a short shirt, and it won’t be too hot with a coat, but you need to cover yourself with a thin quilt at night.

With the departure of the hot summer sun, the green plants in the city are more verdant, and the deep green leaves intercept every ray of summer light, as if they are beginning to prepare for the harvest in autumn.

Under the green shade, teenagers in twos and threes gathered together to discuss the different troubles and joys in life. But this time, there was a common topic in their conversation - "Hot-Blooded High School"!

"If I go to Lily of the Valley, I must also dominate Lily of the Valley!"

A strong young man said so, but in exchange for the teasing of his companions,

"Shuangta, you guy, you will be knocked down by Serizawa with a fist! Just like that second-year who is overconfident!"

The young man named Shuangta froze: "Oishi! You bastard, do you want to try the strange power that can dominate Lily of the Valley?"

After talking, a few students began to fight in the shade of the tree, making the friends watching laugh non-stop.

When gathering with friends during class, after school, after get off work, and on rest days, the young people seem to be talking about a high school called Suzuran, telling the story of Takizawa Genji and Serizawa Tamao's struggle for hegemony.

High school students who wear uniforms casually have become a kind of trendy thing. Even the teacher's repeated orders cannot make them wear their uniforms well.

From time to time, guys from Secondary School would shout on the street:

"I am the man who will be the overlord of Lily of the Valley!!!"

Even the older college students were very enthusiastic about discussing the characters in "Hot-Blooded High School" with their classmates, and even encouraged their friends to watch the movie for the second time or even the third time.

In the variety shows on TV, the images of high school students in uniform suddenly increased, and the talk show was also discussing the popularity of "Hot Blood High School", and they were also discussing enthusiastically whether such a school really existed in reality.

Johnny's Junior Team, Shibukaki Team and Toshihiko Tahara were asked relevant questions in all the announcements because of their direct participation in the show.

Only a few days after it was released, the movie has already spread word of mouth among the crowd, making people who haven't seen it arouse the urge to go to the cinema to find out.

"Preliminary. Successful!"

In the office of the studio, Otomo Yoshimura looked at the newspaper reports and said to Shuichi Itou, once the movie "Hot Blooded High School" was released, the explosive response swept across the theaters all over Japan, making the movies of the same period pale in comparison .

Major newspapers and magazines also commented on every aspect of the movie, whether it was casting, plot or shooting, all were clearly exposed under the pens of all-pervasive reporters.

Shuichi Ido was also reading a newspaper: "Ah, yes, it's been released for less than a week, and the estimated box office has already exceeded 200 million. Once word of mouth spreads, it shouldn't be a problem for the box office to reach 500 million in the first week."

"It's an impressive result. I don't know how many awards we can win in this year's film competition."

Otomo Fangcun has already considered the Blue Ribbon Awards and Academy Film Awards at the end of the year.

"Don't get excited too early. According to Naoki-san's prediction, the criticism of "Hot-Blooded High School" will come out soon." Yi Tangxiu glanced at Yoshimura Otomo, "Have the relevant media greeted you?"

"Hey, all the good media have already sent gift money, and other media have also agreed that if they want to report negative things, they will inform in advance." Fangcun Otomo said, "With the cooperation of Kadokawa Haruki-san, several magazines have also reported Passed the gas."

"It always feels like it's not well prepared or perfect." Itou Shuichi said, "By the way, where did Naoki-san go?"

Otomo Fangcun smiled: "Naoki-san should have participated in the promotion activities in Kyoto today, and it seems that he will hold the groundbreaking ceremony of the garden afterward."

"Huh? At such an important moment, you actually went to the groundbreaking ceremony?"

Yi Tangxiu looked disgusted, but when he heard that Naoki Yongshan was still so calm, his mood also calmed down a lot.

After putting down the newspaper, Shuichi Ido also prepared to go out.

"Xiu Yisang? What are you going to do?"

"If Naoki Naoki doesn't care, then we hard-working people can only worry about it." Osamu Yitang waved his hand, "I'll go find my classmates in the media industry and see if I can say something nice."

And Naoki Nagayama, who was slandered by Shuichi Itou and Otomo Yoshimura, was already in Kyoto at this time.

In a movie theater in Kyoto, Naoki Nagayama and starring Hiroyuki Sanada, Toshihiko Tahara, and Mieko Harada just finished attending the media meeting.

The reporters in Kyoto asked all kinds of questions, and wanted to discover angles that their colleagues in Tokyo hadn't written about, but they were all perfunctory by the leading actors.

"Naoki-san, do you want to have a drink later?" Toshihiko Tahara and Hiroyuki Sanada suggested after the promotion event ended, "I haven't been to Kyoto for a long time."

"Private Marseille, I have another event to attend later, let's do it next time~"

Naoki Yongshan tactfully declined the invitation of the two men, and watched the two men go out chicly together as they were familiar with each other. The two were very good friends in the movie, but they didn't expect to have a good relationship outside the movie.

"What event is Naoki-san going to participate in?" asked Mieko Harada, the only heroine.

Mieko Harada, who didn't even attend the premiere, is filming a movie called "Bakumatsu Youth Graphite" Fukuzawa Yukichi". If the venue didn't happen to be in Kyoto, she wouldn't even participate in this promotional event.

"It's a groundbreaking ceremony for a garden." Naoki Naoyama replied, "How's the filming of Mieko-chan going?"

"It takes a lot of time to shoot a historical film like this." Harada Mieko sighed, "It's still in the early stages of filming, and many scenes are not satisfactory, and the actors are also adjusting."

Movies of this era pay special attention to ancient styles and appearances. When you meet a serious director, the requirements on the road of service will drive the prop team crazy!

The shooting cycle is also very long, and the legendary slow work produces meticulous work.

"Then is it okay for Mieko-chan to come out today?" Naoki Yongshan asked.

"I don't have any roles in these few scenes, and they are all filming male scenes." Harada Mieko replied with a smile, "So it's okay to ask for leave."

"That's it~" Naoki Yongshan nodded, "Is there anything going on this afternoon? If not, would you like to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of my yard together?"

"Oh? Is it okay?" Harada Mieko asked.

"Of course, it would be lonely if I was alone, it would be best to have friends by my side~"

Naoki Naoyama and Mieko Harada walked outside while talking. Since it is afternoon, they must have lunch together at noon.

I told Nakamori Akina before that the miso in Kyoto has a strong taste, but in fact there are many other dishes in Kyoto.

Moreover, due to the large number of temples, it has formed a famous superb cuisine that uses vegetables and fruits instead of meat, especially tofu cuisine, which is even more famous.

I told the taxi driver directly that I was going to the most famous soup tofu restaurant in Kyoto. The uncle driver, who was nearly half a century old, took the two of them directly to a restaurant in Dongshan District called "総本家ゆどうふOdan Shimizu" .

Many old shops in Kyoto have exquisite courtyards, and this soup tofu restaurant that has been passed down for more than two hundred years is no exception.

Walking into the store, the quaint tables and storefront still retain the style of the Edo period,

The pond and spring garden outside the window is quiet and quiet, with the gurgling stream flowing in it, which is interesting with the slurping tofu in the pot.

Naoki Nagayama and Mieko Harada ordered a yudofu set meal, starting with a plate of baked tofu with sweet miso sauce.

"Ou Yixi (delicious)~"

Harada Mieko said happily after taking a sip,

"Sure enough, it is a delicacy that has been passed down for hundreds of years!"

"."

Naoki Naoyama is still a little unaccustomed to the practice of Japanese girls saying that everything is delicious no matter what they eat. At first, he thought it was a commercial talk on TV, but he didn't expect it to be the same in private.

However, this grilled tofu skewer is really delicious. The sweet miso neutralizes the fishy smell of tofu very well, and highlights the umami taste of tofu without destroying the original taste of tofu.

The casserole tofu after the appetizer uses a stove that has been around for hundreds of years, which is very old-fashioned. Inside the casserole are several large pieces of tender tofu, slurping in the clear soup bottom,

After the entrance, the tofu has its own fragrance and the rich taste of the soup base. It is delicious, tender and smooth.

Naoki Naoyama and Mieko Harada chatted while eating delicate and delicious tofu.

"Naoki-san, when did you buy land in Kyoto?"

"Well, in the middle of this year, because I really like the cherry blossoms and red leaves in Kyoto, I want to have a separate courtyard here where I can enjoy it."

Yongshan Naoki blew on the steaming tofu and sipped it.

"Then every year during the cherry blossom season and red leaf hunting, wouldn't it be enough to travel to Kyoto?"

Mieko Harada doesn't understand why she wants to build a house here.

"When traveling, coming and going is too hasty, I always feel that I don't appreciate the beautiful scenery in detail, and I still compete with other people for a scenic spot."

Naoki Yongshan smiled, "Just like this soup tofu, you need to taste it slowly to make it more delicious."

"It sounds reasonable~" Mieko Harada also carefully examined the tender white in the spoon, and then savored it carefully, "However. Even if a house is built here, it will be with tourists, right?"

Naoki Naoyama smiled: "So I want to build a garden of my own~"

"The garden?"

Mieko Harada subconsciously looked at the exquisite courtyard of this tofu restaurant, thinking that it was such a courtyard, and it looked really good.

When the two of them finished enjoying the soup and tofu dishes, and then took a taxi to the noble courtyard in Sakyo District, Mieko Harada looked at the walled, almost 3,000-square-meter courtyard with her mouth wide open.

"Naoki-san, do you want to build a sleeping hall?"

"Haha, how is it possible. If the sleeping hall is built, it will be at least four times the size of this one."

Naoki Yongshan saw that a simple pergola had been set up inside the wall, and Takashi Honma was already there, so he waved his hand,

"Mieko-chan, let's go in, the groundbreaking ceremony should be ready."

Everything that needs to be demolished in the noble courtyard has been demolished. The original shrubs and weeds have been cleaned up. The structure of the remaining main house is still intact, but the reconstruction materials are slowly being prepared.

"Takashi-san! Naoya-san! You are all here!" Naoki Naoyama greeted Takashi Honma and Naoya Sakata.

"Hi, actually we have already rented a hotel nearby." Honma Takashi said, "We will be here for a long time during future construction."

"Ah, that was really hard work!"

"Haha, this is what we should do. Naoki-san gave us the opportunity to be creative, we must cherish it!" Honma Takashi said with a smile, "By the way, the 'Dizhen Festival' is almost ready, we It's time to start."

"Hi!"

Naoki Naoyama took Harada Mieko into the simple pergola, where a priest in divine attire had already placed all the tributes on the table.

The so-called "dizhen festival" is a prayer ceremony entrusted to the shrine before the construction of the house, asking the gods for the right to use the land, asking the gods to bless the building safety, and bless the homeowner's family to live happily on this land, etc.

Generally, the gods are invited to come over first, entertained with tribute and wine, and then sprinkled with rice and salt to drive away evil spirits and purify. After that, the owner has to pull weeds and break ground. There are more than a dozen steps, which are quite cumbersome.

Naoki Nagayama followed the instructions of the priest, and finished one item at a time. After sending off the gods at the end, he had to give a red envelope. Fortunately, Takashi Honma had prepared a red envelope—50,000 yen.

After the groundbreaking ceremony, Takashi Honma directed the construction team to enter the site, while Naoki Naoyama took Harada Mieko to make a brief inspection.

"Naoki-san, you said before that you don't want to compete with tourists for a scenic spot, so you want to build your own yard?"

Naoki Yongshan nodded: "Yes, in spring and autumn, it is a good choice to come here for vacation by yourself, or to escape the heat in summer."

Mieko Harada looked at the handsome guy next to her, and found that her impression of Naoki Nagayama had changed.

I thought it was just rich, but now I realize that this guy is super rich!

"It's really amazing!"

In a certain club in Tokyo, Kinji Fukasaku asked Yamada Yoji angrily,

"Yoji-san, didn't you say that there is no problem at all?

Why is "Hot-Blooded High School" released in all theaters?

What about the classification of R18+? "

Yoji Yamada also sighed: "Who knew that Kadokawa was so cautious, and actually turned around from the United States and introduced it again!"

Fukasaku Kinji opened his eyes wide: "Could it be possible to completely avoid the domestic restrictions in this way? This is completely a loophole in the law!"

"There's no way, we didn't expect this trick to be used only in adult films before." Yamada Yoji said helplessly, "We in the review team can't see the film at all!"

Facing a movie that begins with an FBI Warning, the Film Ethics Management Committee is completely out of control!

"But Nuo Ya! Kadokawa is so cunning!"

Kinji Fukasaku thought this was a trick conceived by the cunning Haruki Kadokawa,

"Yoji-san, can't we make a fuss about this?

For example, "Hot Blood High School" knows that its content has adverse effects, especially when it was released in the United States to avoid censorship? "

Yoji Yamada shook his head: "They can say that the target of the film is the global market, so it is more convenient to start directly in the United States.

Besides, Yan Er-kun, Japanese movies were not restricted because of violence at all before. We want to forcibly grade "Hot Blood High School", which itself cannot be hyped. "

"this"

The evil plan that had been well planned was actually emptied from the very beginning, which made Fukasaku Kinji very aggrieved, so he could only pick up the wine glass and take a sip.

The spicy wine made the blood burn, Fukasaku Kinji loosened his collar and calmed down:

"Yoji-san, since this method doesn't work, we can only continue to work hard on the newspaper. The reporters who write black material are all right, right?"

"Well, there is no problem with this at all. A reporter has already gone to the Shizuoka subgroup of the Yamaguchi group in Qingshui City to verify that the group leader there is indeed from the Yongshan family."

Yoji Yamada said, "The evidence and photos have been shared with other media, there must be no problem this time!"

"Well, coupled with the previous criticism of youth violence, this time it will definitely set off a wave of public opinion."

Kinji Fukasaku felt a little relieved,

"In this case, this year's Academy Film Awards will definitely not have this movie!"
