Tokyo bubble life

Chapter 781 789, always swimming alone in the ocean~

The lively preview screening finally came to an end.

Naoki Nagayama returned to the studio and happened to see Kyū Kijima, waiting for someone at the front desk~

"Kijima-kun, are you waiting for me?"

Nagayama Naoki asked curiously, looking up and down at Kijima Kyon's colorful clothes and wearing a Daikin Rolex. Why does it feel like he is engaging in performance art~

"No~" Kijima Xu shook his head and made a pose, "I'm waiting for Kikuchi Momo and Saijo Hideki~"

"You got in touch so quickly?" You were notified only two days ago~

"Yes, Hideki Saijo is in the stage of looking for opportunities, because his local business has entered a period of decline, and there is news that he is developing towards overseas markets," Kijima Kyor explained, "so the office heard that Shuyou wanted to invite After hearing the news about Xicheng Xiu Shusang, I actively accepted the invitation and came. "

It is said that only those from poor families can travel far and wide. If they do well in Neon, how many idols will think about developing overseas.

Although he is still a first-line artist, Hideki Saijo is getting older after all. In the era when young idols born in the 1960s took over the music scene, the days of these seniors looked glorious on the surface, but on the inside...

It is true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front. The waves in front cannot wave even if they want to!

"Haha~" Nagayama Naoki wanted to laugh, but seeing so many people at the front desk, he held it back, "Then Kijima-kun, just wait a little longer~ If you have any difficulties during the meeting, just come to the office meeting and see me. I’ll stay here for a while~”

"Hi! Arigado!"

Kijima Kyor is very grateful. Although he has rich experience, due to special reasons, he is basically not well-known in the circle now. Even though the screenwriter of "Love Century" is Naoki Nagayama, it is still difficult to hire Hideki Saijo.

But with Naoki-san's reputation, if he came to support the TV series in person, there would probably be no problem.

After Nagayama Naoki came to the office, he saw Yoshimura Otomo who seemed to be nailed to the desk. His long-dormant complaint was about to stir again:

"Otomo-san, every time I see you on the chair, I think you and the office chair are together!"

"."

The provoked middle-aged Mediterranean man has sharp eyes,

"Naoki-san, do you know the consequences of me standing up?!"

"Um?" Naoki Nagayama felt some pressure, but he was still a little confused.

"Shuyou has so much work to do and I stand up, but one of them has to sit down!" Yoshimura Otomo looked at Nagayama Naoki and said, "Shuichi-san is filming a movie, so Naoki-san thinks who among the three of us will be so free? Sitting in this position?"

"Ah this." Why did this happen to me!

Nagayama Naoki quickly changed his serious expression: "Ahem, Otomo-san, I suddenly feel that you match the office desk very well, but the office chair is a bit old, and it may not be very comfortable to sit on.

Decided! In the New Year, I want to give you a set of ergonomic chairs to protect your lumbar spine and make you less tired after sitting for a long time.”

"He started talking nonsense again." Seeing that his friend started talking nonsense again, Yoshimura Otomo reluctantly let Naoki Nagayama go, focused his attention on the documents in his hand, and asked by the way, "The preview screening is over. ?”

"Ah! Yes!" Nagayama Naoki sat relaxed in the chair, "It ended smoothly!"

"How's it going? Is there any problem?" Yoshimura Otomo lowered his head and said silently, "I mean, is there anything going on between Naoki-san and the media?"

"What can happen to me?! Otomo-san, don't just throw dirty water on me!" Nagayama Naoki was quite angry.

"Ha~"

"."

Forget it, I'm tired. Nagayama Naoki didn't want to argue anymore: "Brother Feng announced his decision to retire at the press conference."

"Retire?" Fangcun Dayou raised his head again, "So young?"

"I want to go back and inherit the family business." He noticed that there was something wrong with Fangcun Otomo's eyes, and explained, "It's not the Yakuza, but a KTV nightclub."

"Ah, that!"

Yoshimura Otomo naturally knows KTV, which was Naoki Nagayama's first invention.

"Speaking of which, the growth trend of Zhishusan KTV is very eye-catching. The Economic News said that everyone is looking forward to the first KTV company to be listed. It is said to be the most dynamic new business format in recent years."

"Wouldn't Naoki-san be heartbroken to give up such a big cake like this?"

Yoshimura Otomo felt a little emotional. Naoki Nagayama can be said to be the founder of discotheques and KTVs. If other people have a similar idea in their lifetime, they will definitely work hard to run it, and they will not have to worry about it in this life.

"Why are you heartbroken? There are so many ways to make money, why should you choose something so tiring?"

Naoki Nagayama really doesn't care. In an industry like nightclubs that emphasizes human services, just open one or two for fun, but running it requires a lot of effort. It's hard, tiring, and has to face many problems.

Simply facing the provocation of local snakes, one must have a solid enough backing.

"That's what I said."

Even in the rising period of neon, making big money is not something ordinary people can think of.

"Dong dong"

While the two were chatting, there was a knock on the office door.

Suzuki Yukari's head poked in: "Naoki Kuwakijima-kun, please help!"

"Hey, I'll be there right away~" Nagayama Naoki stood up after agreeing and said to Yoshimura Otomo, "Otomo-san, you see, I'm very busy."

“.” Is it necessary to be so dramatic?

After the door of the conference room was opened, a handsome man was seen sitting opposite, accompanied by two agents. This is the treatment of a first-line idol.

On the other side, there was a slightly nervous Momoko Kikuchi, and a helpless Kyon Kimura.

“Mr. Kimura, please forgive me for being blunt.” Naoki Nagayama heard the older agent talking as soon as he came in. “My artist heard the reputation of Shuyou and Mr. Naoki Nagayama, so he wanted to discuss the script. But we have never heard of Mr. Kimura’s reputation.”

“That’s for a special reason!” Naoki Nagayama took over the conversation as soon as he entered the door, and nodded to the three people in front of him, “I’m a little rude, I’m Naoki Nagayama.”

“Ah, Director Nagayama.” The agent apologized immediately, "Nice to meet you. I'm Naosuke Matsuo, the agent of Hideki Saijo. Please give me your advice~"

Then Hideki Saijo also stood up: "Private Marseille, Matsuo-san's tone was a bit too much just now"

"I'm Hideki Saijo. I've heard of you for a long time. Please give me your advice~"

After everyone greeted each other, Naoki Nagayama sat down in the main seat and continued the previous topic:

"Kishima-kun, take off your watch"

"Huh?" Kimishima Kyon looked over in surprise, and after getting confirmation, he took off his Rolex and placed it in the middle of the table.

Hideki Nishijo and Naosuke Matsuo looked at each other and felt a little strange:

"What is Naoki doing? What does this have to do with our previous topic?"

"Didn't you say you didn't know Kijima-kun's fame?" Naoki Nagayama laughed, "In fact, Kijima-kun plays a vital role in each project of Shuyou, but his presence is low. Every time his contributions are forgotten, this leads to a strange phenomenon that few people in the industry have heard of."

"Haha, Naoki-san, are you kidding?" Hideki Nishijo felt a little weird. An agency like Shuyou would actually make such a joke?

"What degree of low presence will make people forget their contributions at work!"

"Don't you believe it?"

Naoki Nagayama smiled, then pointed to the Rolex on the table and said:

"Hideki-san, is this your Rolex?"

"? How is it possible? This is clearly the one just now. Hey? Who put it on the table!"

Hideki Nishijo subconsciously looked to the side. There was a man in bright clothes sitting there. The two sides had just introduced each other. He couldn't remember his name all of a sudden!

"His name is Kyon Kimura. Do you believe it now?"

Naoki Nagayama gestured to Kyon Kimura to put on his watch. This Rolex with a strong presence made the connection in his mind. The guy wearing the Rolex is Kyon Kimura!

At this moment, the people on the opposite side looked at Kyon Kimura in surprise. This is not a low sense of presence! This is clearly a superpower! ! !

You can peek in the women's bathhouse openly! (How can I be a little envious!)

"It's actually true! There really is such a thing!!" Saijo Hideki exclaimed.

Naoki Nagayama explained a story to them.

"Generally speaking, whales call at 20 Hz, but in very rare cases, there will be a whale in the ocean that calls at about 50 Hz.

Such whales will not be heard by their companions. No one hears them when they sing, and no one pays attention to them when they are sad. They swim alone in the ocean all the time."

"It is very likely that Kimura-kun's magnetic field is a little different from others, which is why everyone can't remember him. But after getting along for a long time, they will become familiar with him and will not forget him~"

"."

Kimura Kyon, who heard this story for the first time, felt the same way and even had the urge to cry.

The other people were curious and puzzled. They had never heard of such a story.

Among them, Momoko Kikuchi, a girl, even emotionally thought that Naoki Nagayama specially wrote this story for Kimura Kyon. He is indeed a talented writer!

After everyone's sentimental emotions passed, they began to discuss the details of the production of "Love Century".

"I can vouch for Kijima-kun's directing ability. In fact, Kijima-kun is the assistant director of the recent "Kikujiro's Summer." Naoki Nagayama said to the three people opposite him very sincerely, "And as the author of this script, I will naturally keep an eye on it during the filming process."

"Such a script, with the blessing of Hideki-san and the support of Shuyou's resources, will definitely get good ratings~"

"On the other hand, this TV series is agreed with Fuji TV, and it is completely produced by Shuyou while shooting and broadcasting. If there are any problems, it can be adjusted at any time."

Naoki Nagayama's guarantee and the quality of the script itself made Hideki Saijo very excited!

Idols are young, especially male idols. As they age, their handsome faces gradually disappear. As the pinnacle of male idols, they are now in a period of declining popularity.

However, at this age, they are still young in the entertainment industry. If they can make a transition, it may be a very good choice.

Thinking of this, Hideki Saijo finally made up his mind:

"Kijima-kun, Naoki-san, after communicating with you two, my worries have dissipated. I have decided to join the filming of "Love Century". Please give me more advice in the future!"

"That's great!" Kyon Kijima stood up excitedly, he is a fan of Hideki Saijo!

"Please give me your advice!" Nagayama Naoki also stood up and shook hands with them.

Naturally, the next step is the step-by-step signing process.

After everything was completed, Naoki Nagayama and Kyoshi Kijima politely sent Hideki Saijo away from the gate.

"Arigado, Naoki-san!" After the person left, Kijima Xu bowed his thanks very seriously.

If it weren't for giving him a platform, Naoki Nagayama would not have lowered his profile so low. In the past, artists from all walks of life were trying hard to participate in his film projects!

"It's okay, it's okay. Kijima-kun, I'm very optimistic about you! Don't live up to my expectations!" Nagayama Naoki patted Kijima Xu's shoulder in fear.

He could feel the constant popping up on Kijima Kyon's head - Loyalty +1+1+1. No matter what, he shouldn't have to worry about ninja assassinations in the future!

Back in the studio, the heroine Momo Kikuchi was also preparing to leave, but her family was not so grand. She talked to the employees she knew in the company before preparing to leave.

"Peach jam." Naoki Nagayama saw it and wanted to give him some advice.

"Naoki-san?"

Momoko Kikuchi walked up to Naoki Nagayama, her cheeks that had not yet shed her baby fat were moist and tender, really like a plump peach.

"The heroine of "Century of Love" this time is an urban working woman." Naoki Nagayama said, "You should learn about the image and style of urban women during this period, and also be more mature. It will be convenient for future shooting."

"Hi!" Momoko Kikuchi nodded, "I understand!"

"Well, during this time, I will inform Mr. Yaming to arrange your work and prepare well!"

"Hi!"

It was already evening when Naoki Nagayama came out of a studio session.

"Time flies really fast! No, it only flies when you are busy."

It's winter, and nights always fall faster and faster. As I drive home, the light in the sky becomes much dimmer.

The originally light blue sky turned into a deep blue, as if a cold-toned filter was applied to the city, full of melancholy and mysterious feeling.

Passing by the border of Chiyoda and Bunkyo Ward, Nagayama Naoki vaguely remembered that he had a house here, which was being used as a warehouse for fan mail.

Looking up at the sky, it seemed that it was not too late, Naoki Nagayama decided to take a look~

The small semi-circular balcony in the small apartment on the second floor has an exotic style and looks very cute.

After walking in through the door of the apartment building, Naoki Nagayama got the spare key from the administrator and opened the door.

A faint smell of dust and paper came out. Some messy letters were placed on the table in the living room, and more were placed in boxes in the bedroom. He had been here several times in the first half of the year. received letters from fans.

However, the logic of "Tomorrow's Me and Yesterday's You" seems to be too complicated. Even though professional critics have given it good reviews, it is not as popular as the previous "Love Sky" and "Love Letter".

After writing two random replies and explaining the logic of time, Nagayama Naoki got fed up and didn't stay any longer.

After walking out of the door, I looked at the neighbor's house next to me. It used to be Kawai Nahoko's apartment, but there must be no one there now.

After walking out of the apartment, the sky became darker~

The cold wind blew on his face, but it made him more alert. He raised his head and looked into the distance. A bright golden color appeared even more dazzling in the dim light.

Anyway, no matter what, I’m here~

Nagayama Naoki walked over leisurely~

In the small green belt around the corner, a golden ginkgo tree looks so abrupt among the green leaves and dead branches. Looking ahead, there are more than a dozen similar ginkgo trees.

Ginkgo trees are not as green as spring and summer. The leaves on the trees are sparse or dense, some are green and some are orange, but most of them are golden.

The breeze blows, and the golden, small fan-like leaves on the trees keep flapping, as if waving to others; and the leaves scattered on the sidewalk form a beautiful carpet, like an invitation Let others go and enjoy it.

This cold winter is when they are at their most gorgeous.

"No one has said that this place is pretty beautiful~ It's a pity that I didn't bring a camera."

Nagayama Naoki walked on the sidewalk with a relaxed pace. There were not many people here, and it seemed that not many people knew about such beautiful scenery.

Suddenly there was a whistling sound of the Shinkansen. On the other side of the ginkgo tree green belt was the JR line. A little further on, we reached Ochanomizu.

"Is this the Holy Bridge?" Naoki Nagayama walked on a bridge and felt that it looked very familiar. "This is the filming location of Suzuya's journey!"

Nagayama Naoki looked down from the bridge. A train whizzed past under the bridge. The conical train was running parallel to the Kanda River next to it. At this time, a train also passed on the Marunouchi Line. The feeling of three parallel lines made Nagayama Naoki It feels a little strange~

"If there is another ship on the Kanda River at this time"

Just when Nagayama Naoki was thinking this, a small boat actually drove over from the corner, and the pointed tip cut through the water, forming two V-shaped water lines~

"Hahaha, it's really here~"

Nagayama Naoki laughed happily, causing pedestrians passing by to stay away unconsciously.

At this moment, the river surface, which seemed to have been filtered with a blue filter, was shimmering with light and reflecting the white embankment. The two trains whizzing by were like a natural dividing line, creating a perfect golden angle, like a famous painting created by nature~

"It's exactly the same as in my memory~"

There seemed to be a picture of "The Journey of Bell Buds" in his head, and there were many artistic photos that he had scanned on the Internet, showing him the scenery here decades later.

It's a pity that others didn't know at all~

No one knew how Naoki Nagayama felt at this moment, whether he was lonely or happy. In short, he looked at this holy bridge for a long time until the hazy moon appeared in the sky.

"It's not dark yet, and the moon is out~"

Naoki Nagayama looked at the new moon that appeared in the deep dark blue sky, and then looked at the river surface with a faint blue light, shook his head and prepared to go home.

He originally wanted to take advantage of this inexplicable emotional impulse to try to recall more memories, but the upgraded brain seemed to have really lost the ability to accomplish everything in one go, and he actually only had some fragmented pictures.

When we returned to Yamazakurain, it was completely dark, and even the bamboos at the door were only vague shadows.

After driving into the garage, Yingtaro came to welcome Naoki Nagayama enthusiastically, but Naoki Nagayama felt unhappy:

"Yingtaro~ Go and play by yourself first. Your master, I have something on my mind~"

After that, he walked up to the second floor slowly and walked into the study

The mood was there, and the broken picture was there, but I couldn't think of anything, as if something was blocking my mind. I had no interest in doing anything else.

Naoki Nagayama must try to dig out this inexplicable thing.

On the sketch paper, he tried to combine the scenery of the holy bridge seen by Ochanomizu with the picture that flashed in his mind. Naoki Nagayama thought he would naturally think of the anime movie "The Journey of Bell Buds", but after drawing for a long time, he was only very irritated.

"What went wrong?"

Lying on the back of the chair, he closed his eyes and thought. The study was completely quiet, and even Yingtaro was not allowed in.

A few soft chirps of unknown insects came from outside the window. Was it a katydid? But it was much lighter and more blurred~

In the blurred night, the rustling sound of bamboo leaves blown by the wind was like the calm lake water caressing the shore~

Gradually, a peaceful lake seemed to emerge in front of Naoki Nagayama's eyes, with the moon in the middle of the sky, and the faint blue light was broken and rippling on the lake.

The lazy chanting seemed to come from afar, with a sad but not sad relief and endless longing:

"

I miss you in the water-colored shizuku (This night, my longing for you is like the new moon)

Mikazuki (Mizuki) The light reflected in the blue water droplets in the palm of my hand sways gently.

"

Naoki Nagayama opened his eyes, feeling a little surprised and relieved. The name of this song is "Water Color"~

It fits the song he started in the afternoon very well. I don't know where the thoughts and sadness came from. Maybe I have heard this song before on a sleepless night~

The lazy and slightly hoarse female voice is still echoing in my mind. This is a song that can make people immersed in it just by singing it a cappella. The lyrics are written like a poem.

Naoki Nagayama recorded the score, and then while humming the melody, he looked for instruments in the study, trying to restore the song he heard. This is not a piano piece, it needs to be accompanied by other instruments to sound good.

When Akina Nakamori came back, it was almost ten o'clock~

These days, in addition to preparing for the preliminaries of the Japan Record Awards, she also had to rehearse the program of the Red and White Festival with other idols. It can be said that she was very busy.

After returning to Yamazakurain, she was surprised to find that only Taro came to greet her, and the lights on the first floor were not turned on.

"Taro, Naoki-san hasn't come back yet?" Akina hung up the clothes and asked after touching the dog's head.

I saw Taro's little tail turning quickly, and he was about to take Akina Nakamori to the second floor~

"Did you go to the bedroom to rest? So early?" Akina Nakamori was a little surprised. Naoki Nagayama usually went to bed at 12 o'clock, very regularly, "Is he sick?"

There was no one in the bedroom on the second floor, but there was light coming through the crack of the study door.

After opening the door and entering, Akina Nakamori saw Naoki Nagayama holding two shakers, humming a song and shaking them up and down as if he was exercising.

"Naoki-san?" Nakamori felt relieved and amused, "What are you doing?"

"Ah, Akina is back~" Nagayama Naoki stopped, "I was matching the sounds of the instruments and felt that Yama Sakurain seemed to be missing some different instruments. It seems that there is also a music room missing."

Akina Nakamori walked to the desk and saw the sketch on the desk at first glance:

"What is this?"

"This is a place I saw today, the holy bridge of Ochanomizu. I think the composition is very good, so I want to draw it~" Nagayama Naoki walked to the side and explained.

Then Akina saw the song again

"Water Color?"

"Yeah, a new song"

Akina Nakamori suddenly became curious. Her boyfriend would have new inspirations from time to time and write all kinds of different songs.

Following the melody on the score, Akina also hummed:

"

The seasons are endless and recurring

(The four seasons repeat endlessly)

The light in my heart is the color of the water

(My restless heart)

The color of the sky and the sea is changing

(Just like the color of the sky and the sea that never changes Color.)

"

Naoki Nagayama was humming the melody softly and beating the beat with a maraca to accompany Akina. Akina did not use the deep and powerful voice she used when singing, but only used her usual speaking voice to hum. Akina, whose voice has not yet become smoky, unexpectedly fits the feeling of the original singer~

"I feel very sad and lonely~" Akina Nakamori suddenly turned her head to look at her boyfriend and hugged him tightly, "Naoki-san, did you encounter something sad? ”

“.”

Even though he usually appears relaxed and cheerful, he exists alone in this completely different world, with no one to understand him and no one to talk to, just like the whale with a cry of 52 Hz. He has been swimming alone in the ocean~

This huge sense of loneliness still emerges in Naoki Nagayama's heart from time to time, but in the past, he could always get through it by drinking a little wine or going for a run~

“Naoki-san, if you encounter something sad, you can tell me~” Nakamori Akina raised her head and looked at Naoki Nagayama, “The sadness is divided into two parts, and both of us will have less~”

Naoki Nagayama felt warm in his heart, and his heart seemed to be gently hit. This time he didn't have to get through it alone.

He gently stroked Akina's back with both hands and patted her to reassure her:

“It's just that I saw some scenery and was moved~”

“Does Akina know?

In the Ochanomizu neighborhood, there is a street with few people, and ginkgo trees on both sides. The leaves are like golden fans."

"Hmm"

"The water of Kanda River will be divided into two water lines in front of the speedboat"

"Hmm"

"Three Shinkansens whizzed by at the same time"

The two people in the study hugged each other gently, whispering, and even Yingtaro was tactful enough not to disturb them~

The night gradually deepened~

This is a big chapter that could have been divided into two chapters, but I think I'll post it together and write it tomorrow~
