Tokyo bubble life

The media in the entertainment industry has always been famous for their quick action and keeping up with hot spots.

As long as there is a slight disturbance, newspapers, magazines, and interview and commentary programs all over the street will tell the people outside what happened, and even the cause of the incident and subsequent development can be analyzed to one, two, three, four, five.

But this time, they were played hard by a guy named Naoki Nagayama!

As the editor-in-chief of the entertainment section of "Yomiuri Shimbun", Mukai Yukio has always considered himself one of the most well-informed people in the entertainment industry.

Not only because he has more than a dozen capable entertainment reporters and countless paparazzi informants under his command, but also because he has a good relationship with major firms, film production companies, and TV stations.

So he can know any news immediately, no, even in advance.

But the sudden release of "Love Letter" and the release news of the song "Snow Flower", it was his niece who called to ask him to find out!

"Is "Love Letter" really a movie starring Ming Caijiang?" "Where can I watch the movie now?" "Why isn't "Snow Flower" in the release trailer of Ming Caijiang's song?" "."

"Nani? Uncle Mukai, aren't you the most well-informed person in the entertainment industry? You don't even know?"

"The most well-informed person doesn't even know"

"Lingtong. I don't know."

The unintentional words of my niece have been echoing in Yukio Mukai's mind. This is simply an insult to his career of more than ten years! ! !

"Naoki Naoki, is it such a joke to release a movie? Even the media didn't announce it in advance?"

After hanging up the phone, Yukio Mukai became more and more angry as he thought about it. He slapped the table for the last time and stood up abruptly.

Walked a few steps to the door of the office, opened the door with a bang,

Then he slapped twice hard, attracting the attention of outside entertainment reporters and editors.

"All those with more than ten years of work experience will come in for me!!"

After finishing speaking, four or five senior people with thinning hair, sallow complexion, and only a pair of eyes that occasionally shone, walked into the office and closed the door gently.

Then the employees outside heard loud yelling.

Some curious young employees secretly gathered at the door of the office to listen, and only heard words such as "slap in the face", "shame", and "eat plain rice", and seemed very dissatisfied that they had not received any news.

When the door of the office opened again, the guys gathered at the door dispersed

I can vaguely hear the editor-in-chief saying:

"Hurry up and find out about this matter! If there is no definite news by the time of the evening paper, give me back the year-end bonus I received this year!"

So the young juniors saw a few senior old people frantically making phone calls with red eyes, and after a while, someone rushed out with a few newcomers

Hmm. In "Yomiuri Shimbun", the reporter Shuyou Yinghua has befriended is a newcomer for more than a year. At this time, he is interviewing outside and has not received a call from Otomo Fangcun.

Naoki Naoyama didn't stay in the studio foolishly. After sending Tsuruko back to Waseda's apartment, he didn't drive. Instead, he took the subway around Tokyo.

The sky is getting dark, and the rush hour for get off work is coming.

The Tokyo subway at this time is not usually crowded. Even Naoki Naoki, who is as tall and burly as a man, will inevitably be carried and stuffed into the subway by the flow of people.

However, at this time, you can see that there is already a row of large "Love Letter" posters on the advertising space on the wall of the subway station platform.

A slew of white snow, a lady in black, a delicate profile, and the movie title and leading role of Loveletter.

"The efficiency of Dentsu is really high enough!"

Naoki Yongshan has already heard the young people next to him discussing when this movie appeared, and why the leading actor was Akina Nakamori. This is a big change in the image!

I went down at several stations along the way, and looked at the advertisements around the subway stations. Some of them were not there, and some had already started to change. Then came the most important place, Shibuya Station.

Shibuya Crossing, later known as "the world's largest intersection", is now too large to be underestimated!

The advertising space here, like the advertising space in Times Square in New York, is one of the most expensive outdoor advertisements, and has long been reserved by the most powerful companies such as Coca-Cola, Mitsubishi Estate, and Toyota Motor.

Naoki Yongshan had the opportunity to be exposed on the dynamic advertising screen here through a middleman with a special relationship.

After waiting for a while outside the crowded subway station, he saw the preview of "Love Letter" instantly attracted many passers-by

As the night fell, the snow did not stop, but entered a stable stage, as if it wanted to make people feel a little longer.

Naoki Nagayama, who came back to Yamazakura-in, saw Eutaro foolishly flapping the snowflakes in the yard, like when he was a child, and Nyotaro was sitting in the corridor, as if he was looking at a fool.

Seeing the master came back, Taro immediately ran over and wanted to lie down, but Naoki Nagayama quickly dodged.

"Hey Taro, don't you know that your paws are covered with snow water?"

But the silly dog ​​didn't give up, and ran over again, so Naoki Yongshan had to hold down the dog's head, and then took it into the house to dry it.

I didn't notice it when I was outside, but when I returned to Yamazakura-in, I found that the pager was actually notifying that someone had called. Naoki Yongshan pressed the small screen, and found that there were two different phone numbers, one was from Akina's house, and the other was an unfamiliar number.

"Only Akina can call this pager." Naoki Yongshan scratched his head and dialed back the latest number.

After waiting for a few seconds, a strange voice came from the microphone,

"Moses, this is Yanyin."

Naoki Yongshan was stunned for a moment, and immediately returned: "Moshi Moshi, this is Shuyou Yinghua. I'm looking for Ms. Nakamori Akina, and I made an appointment before."

"Ah, Ming Cai-san, please wait a moment." He heard the sound of high heels going away, and then someone came over.

"Moses, this is Akina Nakamori." This time it's the right one.

"Akina, it's me," Naoki Naoyama said, "I'm sorry I just saw the paging, but didn't you call from home before?"

Akina Nakamori was also very helpless: "It is true that I have already gone home, so I thought about calling Naoki-san. However, because of the sudden release of "Love Letter", many reporters called the office and were invited to interview. So temporarily Called back again."

"Suddenly I have to work overtime." Naoki Yongshan sighed, "It's really hard work!"

"Yeah, I was planning to get off work early and go watch "Love Letter" with Naoki-san." Akina's tone was regretful, "It's a pity that I don't have the chance now~"

"That's just another chance."

Naoki Naoyama also felt a pity. Today is already the 25th. For the rest of this year, Akina should be very busy, and I may also be busy because of the release of "Love Letter". Before the end of the year, it may be very difficult to even meet Difficult.

Kenyin was waiting for an interview, so Akina Nakamori could only hurry up and talk to Naoki Nagayama before hanging up the phone, while Naoki Naoyama in Yamazakura was staring blankly at the yard still falling. snowflakes

No words all night~

Early the next morning, Naoki Naoyama was awakened by the bright sky.

The mornings in winter are usually dark, but today is very different, the window is much brighter.

Naoki Yongshan opened the window, and with the cold air, what he saw was a world covered in silver.

The surface of the building seen from a distance is covered with a white cotton coat; the path that no one has ever walked is covered with a layer of flawless white carpet; Put on a snow-white felt hat.

Occasionally, one or two snowflakes fell, and the reflected sky light made the whole city brighter.

But inside the courtyard, there are messy footprints of plum blossoms on a whole piece of snow. If you look more carefully, a white dog is having fun in the courtyard!

"No wonder Yutaro didn't come to wake people up today, so he went to play by himself~" Naoki Yongshan said softly, "Silly dog~"

Since there was thick snow, Naoki Nagayama gave up walking the dog, and prepared breakfast in the Yamazakura Garden with peace of mind, and read the newspaper by the way.

Naoki Naoyama fell asleep last night, but the entire entertainment world was not idle.

All the entertainment headlines today are discussing the newly released movie, "Yomiuri Shimbun", "Asahi Shimbun", "Mainichi Shimbun" and other newspapers all reported the sudden appearance of this movie.

And the titles are all interesting:

Who is the sudden "love letter" for? ""Meeting unexpectedly, just like a teenager's secret love" "On the first snow day in Tokyo, when the "love letter" opened!" "" A gift to Tokyo at the end of the year! "

Of course, there are also some reports that are biased towards some problems:

""Love Letters" Randomly Entered Tokyo, Who Gave the Confidence? ""shock! For a short time, Tokyo was occupied by "love letters"! "Should We Read "Love Letters"?" "

Some newspapers have even rediscovered stills from the filming of Love Letter, and some film critics have seen the movie and started to rate it.

Whether he is good or bad, in short, the movie "Love Letter" appeared in the eyes of all Tokyoites.

Naoki Yongshan read an article in the Tokyo Sports News very interestingly, which actually linked the creation of "Yuki no Hana" with "Love Letter", and then secretly compared this to Naoki Naoyama's love letter to Akina Nakamori. Really Talented! Almost got it right!

After breakfast, the very relaxed Naoki Naoyama came to the studio, and unexpectedly found that Otomo Yoshimura and Shuichi Itou had already arrived here early.

"Xiuichi-san, were you at the Film Technology Factory yesterday?" Naoki Yongshan looked at Shuichi Ido, who looked a little tired.

"Yeah, I urged them to speed up the copying, and then went to a few movie theaters with the film runners." Yitang Xiuyi yawned, "I made an agreement with the movie theater owners yesterday, and the schedules should be coordinated with each other, plus it can come out today. Two copies of it should be able to survive."

"That's good~" Naoki Yongshan patted him on the shoulder, "How busy was Xiu Yisang yesterday?"

"Two o'clock in the morning!" Yi Tangxiu rubbed his eyes, "When the snow fell the heaviest. I didn't even go home. I slept in the company for a while."

"Let's take a rest today~"

At this time, Fangcun Dayou interjected: "I can't rest for the time being today!"

He also stayed up late yesterday, and now his bloodshot eyes are open: "I have an appointment with the media this morning, and I will hold a media briefing!"

"Huh? This morning?" Naoki Naoyama was surprised.

"Well, it's in the screening room of Iwanami Cinema." Yoshimura Otomo continued, "I've already made an appointment with all the reporters and people from Kenin, and Ms. Akina Nakamori will come over then."

"??? Akina will come too? When did it happen?"

"Yes! It was discussed in the early morning. Does Naoki-san have any comments?" Fangcun Otomo picked up the phone again and wanted to contact a few more reporters.

Fangcun Dayou was on the phone almost all day yesterday, and even coordinated and organized a media meeting temporarily. It can be said that he has done a lot of things

And Naoki Yongshan is actually sleeping. So now he can only promise:

"Hi, no problem at all, I'll be there!"

Otomo Fangcun continued: "In addition to this meeting, we also have many programs to show today, and a few interviews to record. They are all very simple. I believe Naoki-san will have no problem."

"What do you mean, am I alone?"

"Of course not, and Ms. Mingcai, you are the leading actors!" Fangcun Otomo explained, "It's not a large-scale program, the kind that is recorded today and released tomorrow, but it is available on various TV stations, so I will come here today Run away, get no rest~"

".Okay~" Naoki Naoyama knows that this is inevitable, but he thinks on the bright side, he will be able to meet Akina today~

At this time, Shuichi Itou added from the side: "Our first wave of promotion should be almost over, but next, we will continue to promote intensively."

"Also, Naoki-san, this is only Tokyo. We may need to go to various other cities this week to promote."

Naoki Yongshan is also prepared: "Is it like when the first movie was promoted?"

"Well, get ready!" Yi Tangxiu nodded, preparing for the days when he was on the way to promote for several days and nights, "And this year's New Year, we may also be on the way."

Naoki Yongshan nodded helplessly. After all, he was the one who asked for the show to be released during the first snowfall. Now Shuichi Itou and Otomo Yoshimura have not said anything, but are silently cooperating. How can he back down!

I just need to find a time and call my mother to explain.

Also, the purchased gift probably needs the help of Crane to bring it back~

Kinji Fukasaku woke up in Seyeda's mansion.

He is convalescing at home, and he doesn't know about the disturbances in the outside world, and he didn't see it on the TV yesterday. He doesn't like watching TV.

But this morning, when I was about to have a good breakfast, I suddenly found that the newspaper was full of a movie called "Love Letter"!

"What's going on here?!" Fukasaku Kinji couldn't understand. Could it be that the times are changing so fast?

"Shuyou Movies? Director Naoki Naoki and the others are not showing "Midnight Ring"? Didn't they just release "Hot Blood High School" a few months ago? Why is there another "Love Letter"?!"

Kinji Fukasaku eagerly flipped through the articles in the newspaper, still muttering:

"There was no publicity before the shooting. There was no media publicity during the shooting. There was no disclosure after the shooting, and there was not even a trial screening! It was released directly?"

"What the hell is Naoki Yongshan going to do? Is the movie a child's play?"

At this time, his wife Sanae Nakahara said: "Advertisements for this movie are everywhere now!"

"What do you mean?" Fukasaku Kinji asked eagerly.

"In record stores, bus stops, subway stations, intersections, and inside TVs." Nakahara Sanae said, "On the way out to buy groceries, you can see movie posters casually!"

"Didn't this not exist yesterday?" Fukasaku Kinji was a little dumbfounded.

"Yes, it is said that it appeared suddenly, just when it was snowing." Nakahara Sanae explained, "I heard that it was released specially when it was snowing!"

Kinji Fukasaku suddenly remembered the report on the day of the preview of "Midnight Ring", although most of it was about his own scandal, but there was indeed an article written about it. Naoki Naoyama said that his next film will be in the first snow in Tokyo When it's released!

"So he planned it at that time!" Kinji Fukasaku felt that he had understood Naoki Naoki's mind, "Is it possible to combine "Love Letter" with Tokyo First Snow? It's a good idea to make a romance movie! "

As a director, he also wants to make similar movies that are tied to real things. For example, when he thinks of surfing, he thinks of "That Summer, The Tranquil Sea"; when he thinks of gas stations, he thinks of "The Gas Station Robbery Incident"; When I think of Shiba Inu, I think of "The Tale of the Faithful Dog Hachiko".

Autumn Bean Sacks! Are these films actually the works of Naoki Nagayama? ! !

Has this guy actually had such an ambition since then? !

"Honey, give me the phone"

Subconsciously, Fukasaku Kinji wanted to call someone he was familiar with, and wanted to make a little trouble for this "Love Letter".

But looking back, all the previous resources were used to suppress "Midnight Ring"! Even "Hot-Blooded High School" had no choice but to let go. At this time, I have no cards!

Looking at the report of "Love Letter", Kinji Fukasaku's thoughts were running extremely fast, and suddenly, another possibility popped up:

"The release of "Love Letter" in the last week before the new year, he didn't choose this time specially! Just to participate in this year's movie selection! Let other opponents be caught off guard!!!"

As if caught in a conspiracy theory, Fukasaku Kinji even wondered if Naoki Nagayama secretly held artificial snowfall!

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that it snowed on Christmas Day!

Sanae Nakahara looked at her nagging husband, and felt a little pitiful in her heart. It's fine that there were always sex scandals in the past, but now she's a little crazy. It can't be because of mental problems!

Wait, if he's crazy, can I oversee his property? !
