Tokyo bubble life

In the morning, when Naoki Naoyama went out for a walk with Taro, he took a look at the mailbox. There was nothing in it except newspapers.

What kind of gift will you give?

Naoki Naoyama, who was walking on the familiar streets, was very curious, and he was absent-minded when walking. Even Taro couldn't help but stop and wait for his master several times.

When he came back from the walk, his pace quickened significantly, and he wanted to see it earlier.

"Merry Christmas, Naoki-san!"

Kenta Yokota, the owner of the newsstand, greeted happily, and the small newsstand was also hung with colorful lights, as well as decorations such as elk, snowflakes, red hats, etc., which was very festive.

"Ah, Yokota-san, Merry Christmas!" Naoki Naoyama responded subconsciously, and then asked casually, "Is Tokyo safe on Christmas Eve? Has anything major happened?"

"Haha, except for the news about bosozoku bombing the streets, everything else is mediocre entertainment news." Kenta Yokota also chatted casually.

"By the way, "Midnight Ring" is Naoki-san's movie, right? There seem to be several reports on the entertainment section discussing it."

"'The Ring at Midnight'?"

Naoki Yongshan is curious. The movie has been released for almost a week, and those who should comment have already commented. I don’t think my family has arranged a promotional draft during this time?

"Hi, it's on the entertainment page of the "Yomiuri Shimbun". It is said that many moviegoers were so frightened that they passed out."

"Huh?" Naoki Naoyama was a little surprised. It stands to reason that there was already such a big news during the premiere, so everyone should be mentally prepared.

Yokota Kenta asked in a low voice: "Naoki-san, is Sadako really that scary? Can it scare the director into the urine?"

Naoki Nagayama suddenly realized that "The Ring at Midnight" is a niche movie after all. Although its reputation has begun to spread among some young people, for the general public, it is more famous because it is related to the scandal of Kinji Fukasaku.

But now it’s Christmas, and when tomorrow is the 26th, most people in Japan will have their annual holidays. Then students and migrant workers will have time to go to the cinema. That’s when this horror movie will come out of the circle!

"Ah, I think it's okay, Yokota-san can try it!" said to the store manager.

"Haha, let my son go and see it first~"

Kenta Yokota handed over the newspaper, and Naoki Naoyama subconsciously paid for it.

"Arigado, Yokota-san. Then I'll go back first~" Naoki Naoyama took the newspaper and thought about going back to read it, and hurriedly bid farewell to the shop owner.

When he hurried to the entrance of Yamazakura-in, Naoki Naoyama once again realized that his family had ordered the "Yomiuri Shimbun"!

I actually bought an extra copy. "Yokota-san really knows how to do business!"

Sighing so, Naoki Naoyama bent down to check the inside of the mailbox, and took out all the letters and newspapers, but there was still no trace of gifts. Could it be that Akina forgot?

"Wow!" Yingtaro suddenly called twice, and then stopped immediately.

Naoki Yongshan thought he was about to enter the door, looked at the dog's tail wagging vigorously, and stroked his head: "So anxious, are you hungry?"

At this moment, he suddenly felt his eyes darkened, and a pair of cold hands covered his eyes, almost causing Naoki Yongshan to subconsciously throw back his hands and cough, coughing, and an overlord elbowing his heart!

"Guess who I am?"

A voice with a changed voice came from behind, and Naoki Naoki's muscles finally relaxed.

"Mingcai! Why are you here!"

Turning his head, he saw that it was Akina who was wearing a windbreaker, a beret, and a dark blue knitted scarf, but her face was flushed by the cold wind.

Yongshan Naoki happily held Akina's hand, feeling the coolness, and quickly asked, "Why is your hand so cold? Have you been waiting outside for a long time? Why don't you go in?"

"Because I knew that Naoki-san took Eitaro out~ so I hid here to give Naoki-san a surprise!"

Ming Nao showed a childish look on her face, sure enough, people who fall in love will become stupid. Naoki Naoyama thought about pulling Ming Nao into the house.

"Ah, that's right. Naoki-san bent down."

"?" Naoki Yongshan didn't know why, but still lowered his head slightly.

Then I found that Akina took off the scarf around his neck, and wrapped it around Naoki Nagayama,

"This is a gift for Naoki-san, a scarf woven by Akina-sama!"

The scarf just taken off his neck, with his girlfriend's body temperature and the faint scent of shower gel, moved Naoki Naoyama very much, and gently hugged the girl who was waiting for praise in front of him:

"Arigado, Mingcai~"

Although it is normal for couples to hug each other, but early in the morning, when they are still at the door of their house, they can still see pedestrians on the road not far from time to time, which is a bit like a public execution.

After gently hugging for a while, Naoki Naoyama quickly pulled Akina into the gate of Yamazakura-in,

"Mingcai, have you had breakfast?" she asked as she walked towards the house.

"No." Mingcai touched Yutaro's head and said with a smile, "I came here as soon as I got up in the morning~"

"No work today?" Naoki Naoyama opened the door.

"Because the party last night was midnight, so you can rest in the morning, and there will be an announcement in the afternoon"

Akina Nakamori was explaining, but suddenly stopped talking, because she saw a pair of women's shoes in the shoe cabinet in the entrance!

For a while, various thoughts flooded Mingcai's mind. Scenes from urban dramas that she had watched before suddenly appeared before her eyes, such as one-night stand, male lead cheating, and stepping on the third boat.

"Naoki-san, whose shoes are these?"

"Ah?" Naoki Naoyama had already changed his shoes, and was helping Totaro untie the dog leash. When he turned his head and saw the shoes, he suddenly froze.

"Yeah, I forgot."

"?" Akina only felt the chaos in her head, could it be because she didn't accompany Naoki-san on Christmas Eve?

At this time, both of them heard a female voice from the kitchen in front: "Are you back? Breakfast is ready."

Then, the sound of rattling slippers came, getting closer and closer.

Then, a girl's face appeared, and the two people at the entrance stared with big eyes and small eyes, and Yamazakura fell into a strange silence for a while.

Ying Taro looked left and right, and saw that his master would not continue to untie the dog leash, so he twisted twice helplessly, broke off the rest of the leash, and then walked through the gap between the few people. , he is going to eat dog food.

"Ah, breakfast is ready." Naoki Yongshan came to his senses, looked at the two girls, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "Hezi, do you want to make more? Mingcai didn't have breakfast either."

".?!"

On Christmas morning in Showa 58, Yongshan Hezi discovered a big secret of his brother!

At the dining table in Yamazakurain, Naoki Naoyama, Tsuruko and Akina were eating breakfast in silence.

Although it is a traditional Japanese breakfast of white rice, miso soup and side dishes, Naoki Naoyama has adapted to it.

The rice must be enough. The dish was originally made for two people, but if it is a little bit evenly mixed and a little pickle is added, it will almost fill the meal.

Naoki Yongshan originally wanted to read the newspaper, but he saw the crane on the dining table looking at Mingcai with his eyes, while his little girlfriend looked timid and afraid at this time, and didn't even dare to look at the crane .

Oh, I can't stand it!

"I said Hezi. Eat as soon as you eat, always staring at what Mingcai is doing."

Tsuruko finally changed his target and asked Naoki, "Ni-chan, are you dating Ming Cai-chan?"

"...Isn't this already obvious." Naoki Yongshan didn't hide anything, all the girls came home early in the morning, what else can he say. "What's the matter, can't I fall in love?"

"That's not true." He Zi poked the rice bowl with his chopsticks, "It's just that the person I always see on TV suddenly became Ni Jiang's girlfriend. It feels unreal."

"Akina, haven't you met several times~" Yongshan Naoki said, "We even went out to play together!"

"It's strange that someone I know suddenly becomes Ni Jiang's girlfriend!"

"." Naoki Yongshan shook his head, and he could only let Hezi digest it slowly.

It was a very difficult breakfast, but in the end it was over.

The three of them sat in the living room to rest for a while, but Akina Nakamori was a little restless at this time. It was nothing to see Tsuruko, after all, they were acquaintances, but this time they added the identity of her boyfriend's sister .

However, at any rate, they were all young people they knew. After a stalemate with each other for a while, they still spoke:

"Mingcai, your face seems to be a little red, is it an allergy?"

"Ah, maybe there was a cold wind in the morning, I have sensitive skin"

"That's not good, let's protect it with face cream."

Saying that, Tsuruko dragged Akina to the second floor to have a private conversation, leaving Naoki Naoyama in the living room shrugging, and then began to read the newspaper by himself.

There are a lot of reports on "Midnight Ring" in the newspaper, but apart from the praise, there are also some very strange reports, comparing "Midnight Ring" with other movies released this year, belittling both inside and outside The level of this movie seems to say that this horror movie is just scary for horror's sake.

"Tsk, who is making trouble behind this?" Yongshan Naoki sneered, "Horror movies are not for horror, so I might as well make literary movies!"

"Besides, I have already introduced Miss Sadako to you."

Such a disgusting little trick makes people feel a little contemptuous. Naoki Naoyama thought about it for a while, and decided to ask Otomo-san to find his own people to fight back in the newspaper tomorrow, and give some Sadako shocks to the public!

While complaining, the two people who went upstairs actually walked down the stairs arm in arm. Suddenly going from awkward atmosphere to best friend doesn't seem awkward at all.

"What's the matter?" Akina asked, looking at Naoki Yongshan's surprised expression.

"You guys, why are you reconciled?"

Hezi said beside him: "Baganijiang, we didn't quarrel! It's just like this!"

".I will never understand the friendship between you girls!" Naoki Naoyama raised his hands in surrender.

"Then how about we go shopping now?"

Naoki Naoyama felt that he could not understand girls' jumping thinking

This Christmas, for Fukasaku Kinji, is actually very difficult.

On the one hand, he was really in treatment, on the other hand, due to the scandal, he had to choose to temporarily isolate himself from the entertainment industry and recuperate at home.

Therefore, there are no complimenting juniors in the company, no good-talking "friends" in the entertainment industry, and no pride and joy in the spotlight.

Even Keiko Matsuzaka, the year-end lover, couldn't come to see him because of his wife, Sonae Nakahara.

He has nothing left.

"Husband, we have a visitor. It's Fumio Ishikawa from the Film Academy Award selection committee." Sonae Nakahara knocked on the door of the study, and walked in with a shrewd middle-aged man.

"Director Fukasaku, Merry Christmas~" Fumio Ishikawa bowed to the old man on the seat and said hello.

"Ah, Ishikawa-san." Fukasaku Kinji was not overly happy, he waved his wife out who was pouring tea, "How is Ishikawa-san going?"

He and Fumio Ishikawa only met a few times.

"On behalf of President Yuyuki Tanaka, I'm here to visit the pillars of the Japanese film industry." Ishikawa Fumio complimented.

"Hahaha, Dongliang. Shouldn't you be a laughing stock now?" Hearing the compliment, Fukasaku Kinji felt a little better, but still laughed at himself.

"Where is it? It's just a small scandal." Fumio Ishikawa persuaded, "People in the entertainment industry will not deny Director Fukasaku's talent and achievements because of this, and neither will President Yuyuki Tanaka."

In fact, Fukasaku Kinji is often exposed to sex scandals, which is not a big deal in the entertainment industry. If it weren't for the fact that this "scared incontinence" hurt his dignity as a director and a man, he wouldn't have stayed at home for so many days.

"En." Fukasaku Shinji nodded. He had read today's newspaper, and he also knew that during this time, Tanaka Yuyuki had already taken action to suppress the spread of "Midnight Ring" in the media.

This time is for Yoji Yamada’s talk about the exchange last time: “Then thank you, President Yuyuki Tanaka, for me. His works are also examples for our younger directors to learn from. I have already contacted some friends and I am going to re-examine "Snow" Woolen cloth."

"President Tomoyuki Tanaka will be very happy to hear that." Fumio Ishikawa nodded. Today's goal has been achieved. He decided to continue with a few words of greeting, and then he left.

At this time, Fukasaku Kinji sat up straight, with a serious face: "Ishikawa-san, what kind of tricks have Shuyou Yinghua made recently? Are they hyping me up?"

"Shuyou Yinghua. Director Shuichi Ido seems to be in contact with the group of people from the film school recently, and it seems that he wants to use "Hot Blood High School" to hit various awards." Fumio Ishikawa continued to think, "As far as I know, Shuyou Films did not take the initiative to use the scandal of director Shen Zuo to create hype."

"Is that so?" Fukasaku Kinji's face changed. If he changed his position, he would definitely use his opponent's scandal to achieve the greatest benefit.

All directors would do this by contacting friends in the small circle and aiming for film awards, and Shuichi Itou's approach was perfectly fine.

It's just "High Blooded High School". This movie was also manipulated by Kinji Fukasaku. Now, all the resources are used to suppress "Midnight Ring", and there is no way for that movie.

Kinji Fukasaku came back to his senses and saw that Fumio Ishikawa in front of him had finished his cup of tea, so he said:

"Please Ishikawa-san to come over today, and thank President Tanaka for me."

Fumio Ishikawa also understood:

"Hi, it's great to see Director Fukasaku is fine, I'm sure I'll see you at the film selection meeting soon.

Well, today I will say goodbye! "

Fukasaku Kinji bowed slightly, and after watching his wife send him away, he called out:

"wife"

"Bring me the phone book in my room. I'm going to make a call to President Kido of Shochiku."

He still wanted to let "Hot Blood High School" not win the award!

Fukasaku Kinji is different from Shuyou Yinghua. If he still decides to deal with the enemy, he must do his best and use whatever means!
