Tokyo bubble life

New Year is less than a week away, and the festive atmosphere of the New Year has begun to permeate every corner of Tokyo.

Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, shopping malls have put up banners with huge price reductions to attract people to buy new year goods; companies have begun to make year-end summaries to wrap things up for this year; even schools have finished their final exams and are preparing to send students home.

Housewives clean the inside and outside of their homes, and some even hang a rope at the door to ward off ghosts.

The primary school students who were on winter vacation braved the cold wind and played in the parks and alleys. The children in shorts had a great time although their faces were red from the cold.

This made Naoki Nagayama admire him as an adult.

Although it is only a pair of trousers, he has already put on fleece ones~

"Alas, I am less and less resistant to freezing as I get older." Nagayama Naoki sighed while drinking hot tea and looking out the window.

On the opposite side, Otomo Yoshimura had a black line rising on his forehead:

"Naoki-san, you are only twenty years old! Do you have the nerve to say such things?! (Where do you put an old man like me?!)"

"Oh, Otomo-san, you don't understand~" Nagayama Naoki shook his head, "Youth is a state of mind, and so is age. I think I am already over fifty, so I am an old person."

Yoshimura Otomo was very suspicious that the guy in front of him was thinking about himself. He was over fifty!

"Fifty is the golden age for men, right?!"

Nagayama Naoki said disdainfully: "Hmph, Otomo-san, let's go run a five-thousand-meter run, shall we? Let's see a thousand-meter run?"

"伱!!"

Sure, this guy is connoting himself!

Just when Yoshimura Otomo organized his words and wanted to fight back, the door of the office was knocked open, and Riko Hayano walked in:

"Naoki-san, Otomo-san, this year's holiday arrangements have been made."

With that said, he handed the two documents to Naoki Nagayama and Otomo Yoshimura.

"It's a holiday"

Nagayama Naoki, who has been separated from students and the workplace for too long, is actually very insensitive to holidays, and sometimes he doesn't even realize it is weekends.

When I saw this holiday arrangement, it was a bit strange.

"Twelve days starting from December 25th to January 5th, ah, Christmas is on the 25th," Nagayama Naoki was curious, "Why not add more to include Christmas Eve?"

Hayano Riko explained from the side: "Because it happens to be Christmas Eve after get off work on the 24th. It just happens that we can have dinner and date together."

"Besides," Yoshimura Otomo closed the document, "there are not so many companies that have holidays just for Christmas."

Neon's statutory New Year's holiday is only five days, but most companies will start the holiday early. After all, under the lifetime employment system, the human touch is still stronger. Besides, who else will be in the mood to work during the New Year?

The twelve-day New Year holiday for tree friends is already a very high benefit~

Hayano Riko was still reporting: "General employees take vacation according to this holiday arrangement, but employees who are filming "Midnight Bell 2" and some employees whose work requires it can only take vacation on the 31st, and the vacation is only three days. "

For example, the artists of Shuyou are the busiest during the Chinese New Year, so their managers also need to postpone their vacation. At most, they can only go home and sit on the first day of the new year.

"Sure enough, working as a worker is still hard work!" Naoki Nagayama sighed, "Anyway, the overtime pay is well arranged."

"Hi!"

After Yoshimura Otomo signed, Hayano Riko withdrew, leaving two more people in the office.

"Will Otomo-san go back to his hometown in Nagano this year?" Naoki Nagayama asked.

"I'll go back and take a look."

The great friend of Fangcun nodded. If you don't return to your hometown if you are rich and noble, you will be like walking at night in brocade clothes! Now that he has become a billionaire, it would be a pity not to return to his hometown.

"Where's Naoki-san?"

"I should also go back and have a look~" Although I took Mingna back a few days ago, it was not the Chinese New Year.

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized something: "It will be Christmas in a few days!"

"What's wrong?" Fangcun Dayou was confused.

"I almost forgot to buy a gift." Nagayama Naoki stood up, "I just happened to go buy it!"

"."

Seeing Nagayama Naoki leaving in a hurry, Yoshimura Otomo was speechless. He ran so fast and said he was not a young man.

Then he suddenly remembered that he seemed to be trying to fight back Naoki Nagayama just now! ! !

He actually ran away?

It can't be intentional!

What to buy for Christmas? Naoki Nagayama thought for a moment, then drove towards the handicraft area of ​​Sumida District.

"Speaking of Christmas gifts, then it must be a crystal apple!"

"Century of Love" has not yet been filmed. Although there are crystal apples, they have not become popular yet, so Naoki Nagayama wants to find a special one first, preferably custom-made~

Glass is also called "glass" in neon. In addition to direct shaping, there is also a "cutting" method during the production process, which can produce glass crafts with rich colors and unique patterns.

Nagayama Naoki came to Sumida District, where there are many glass workshops and the windows are filled with colorful glass products.

"Manager-san, what I want is a unique custom-made product." Naoki Nagayama said, "Made with glass of different colors, it looks low-key and reveals a unique design."

"So the glass apple that guest-san wants!"

The store manager seemed to be very bad at doing business and directly described the customer's needs in the simplest sentences.

"It is a specially customized handicraft apple. It must have a natural and smooth shape. Except that the material is made of glass, it is just like a real apple!" Naoki Nagayama continued to explain.

"So the appearance of the glass apple must be the same as the real thing?" Sang, the store manager, said concisely.

"It's the kind of artwork that looks the same, but is actually more perfect than a real apple and sparkles under the light!"

"So the glass apple needs to be polished more delicately?"

"."

"Store Manager Sang, at least if you say crystal apples, glass apples sound a bit low."

"Then why don't you just use crystals to make apples?" The casually dressed store manager, wearing glasses and long hair, is very artistic. "Naoki-san shouldn't be short of money, right?"

"Well" it's normal to be recognized. Nagayama Naoki didn't pretend to be a disguise today, but such an understatement still surprised Nagayama Naoki, "You know me?"

"You often appear in newspapers, so it's hard not to recognize her." The store manager spoke very calmly, "However, today you are just an ordinary customer~"

"Store manager Sang Daqing, I am Naoki Nagayama, please give me your advice!" Naoki Nagayama was very optimistic about the store manager and introduced himself directly.

"I am Shoji Kazuma, please give me your advice."

After the store manager Shoji Kazuma bowed and shook hands, he continued to return to the original topic: "Why don't Naoki-san just carve one out of crystal? Crystal is hard and can sparkle at any angle in the sun. As a handicraft, it is better than Glass is much better.”

"I just didn't find a crystal carving workshop." Nagayama Naoki had a fixed mindset and subconsciously looked for glass crafts.

"I know a friend who makes crystal crafts. Naoki-san. Would you like me to help contact him?"

"Manager Shoji, you are pushing your business to other places~"

"They're all friends."

Nagayama Naoki thought for a while, but still didn't want to bother: "No need for the store manager Shoji, you can directly place the order for me. 8cm transparent crystal apples and smaller crystal apple pendants 2-3cm red crystal, clear crystal, and There are crystals of other colors, so I’ll give you five or six at random~”

"Are they all made of crystal?" There were more than a dozen handicrafts at once, which was considered a big order.

"Well, it needs to be polished more carefully. I want it to be accepted!" Nagayama Naoki smiled, we have money, "Before Christmas!"

".Hi, I'll contact him right away to get it made!"

It only takes two days, but at this age, as long as there are raw materials, it can be done very quickly with the help of a grinder.

After getting the gift, seeing that it was still early, Nagayama Naoki continued to drive towards Ota District. He wanted to check out the filming progress of "Midnight Bell 2".

Fuji TV's Production Bureau Director Takano Kazuki was watching the edited "Newspeak Buzzword Contest" and he looked at the final result with some surprise.

""new"? "Ikki Takano murmured to himself and said to Fumio Kimura in the program next to him, "Why is it this word? "

“You can’t vote because of the word ‘poison’~”

Kimura Fumio said that the incident with the greatest neon impact this year was actually the Glico poisoning incident. In addition, the case has not been solved, which has caused the popularity to not go away. In addition, the Kumamoto specialty wasabi lotus root food poisoning incident resulted in the death of 11 people. This poison The number of voters for the word is very large.

However, since the case has not been solved and may arouse the motivation of the criminal, the word poison cannot be used, so the word "new" is used.

"There is a new word this year, 'New Humanity'. There is also a new edition of 10,000 yen, which is printed with Fukuzawa Yukichi." Fumio Kimura continued to explain, "There are also some new inventions and new processes that led to the final This "new" character is considered to be the representative character of Showa 59. "

"Is that so?" Ikki Takano thought for a moment, then smiled, "This shows that the people feel that the country is changing with each passing day!"

This is a very positive word. As Neon’s first Chinese character of the year, both he and the Ministry of Culture are proud of it!

"Minister Takano, I'm going to ask the temple abbot to write it tomorrow!"

Takano Ikki nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we can use the live broadcast format when the time comes! Invite the media to visit! Some artists will come to watch the ceremony!

You can also invite people from the Ministry of Culture to watch the ceremony. I will say hello to you. Wait, there are also representatives from Shogakukan and the Free National Society."

"By the way, there's Naoki Nagayama too!"

Takano Kazuki thought of the real founder of the program. He felt that if Naoki Nagayama was here, even if there was any trouble, it could be solved at any time!

"Hi!"

Kimura Fumio nodded. In fact, the celebrities and the media and the program team had already arranged the invitation. Shogakukan and the Liberty National Society have been cooperating, so there is no problem.

As for the people from the Ministry of Culture, leave it to the top management of Fuji TV to make arrangements. As for Naoki Nagayama.

Kimura Fumio left the office and sighed:

"I still can't get rid of Naoki Nagayama's mark!"

Since he took over this show, he has been keenly aware that this show will have a long life and will become a highlight of his resume as a program producer.

However, the initial planner is Naoki Nagayama, which is quite annoying!

"If you want to invite Nagayama Naoki, go find Otaisan!"

With this thought in mind, Fumio Kimura walked to the office of the production bureau group, knocked on the door, and found that people in the office seemed to be brainstorming.

"Kimura-san, are you looking for me?" Otasu Sugiura asked curiously.

"Hi, I have something I want to ask you about." Kimura Fumio looked at the writing on the blackboard, "Am I here at a bad time?"

"No, no, we're almost done." Oyasu Sugiura signaled for the others to disperse, and walked over to Kimura Fumio and said, "We were just discussing next year's program plan. We are also discussing which celebrity couple to find next year~"

Although the ratings of "Dusk Meow Meow" are still above a certain level, everyone on the program team knows that there is no way to continue, so they are now focusing on new love variety shows.

The previous "Journey of Love" received wide acclaim, with constant letters from fans and viewers, and the scenic spots we passed have even become check-in destinations for couples.

The show is so popular that other variety shows will use it to discuss the content. Sugiura Otasu thinks that the future content may be linked with other variety shows.

"Oh? Who do you want to invite?" Fumio Kimura asked.

"Originally, the first issue was about top female idols like Akina Nakamori. If we wanted to continue it, we originally wanted to invite Seiko Matsuda." Sugiura Otaisan sighed, "But it seems that the relationship between Seiko Matsuda and Hiromi Go There is something wrong with my relationship."

"Eh? Something went wrong? Did you break up?"

"It probably hasn't happened yet, but I heard that there were many quarrels." Sugiura Oyasu said, "We found out by asking acquaintances in the office."

"Ah this."

"Then I thought about inviting other couples over. It would be great if Yamaguchi Momoe could come back!"

Sugiura Otae shook his head. If Yamaguchi Momoe and Miura Yuka come together, then this show will definitely become a landmark and popular show next year.

"Hahaha, Da Taisang is joking~"

Since Momoe Yamaguchi got married and retired, except for a statement issued after the birth of her son, no other media could even take photos.

"By the way, what does Kimura-san want from me?" Sugiura Otae looked at Kimura Fumio.

"Ah," Fumio Kimura organized the language, "The annual Chinese characters of the "Newspeak Buzzword Awards" have come out, and I want to invite Nagayama Naoki-san to come and watch the ceremony during the offline live broadcast."

"Because I am not familiar with Naoki-san, I came to Otaisan for help." Kimura Fumio said.

"Of course there's no problem with that."

Otasu Sugiura smiled, of course there is no problem with such a trivial matter, just watch the ceremony, Naoki-san is very talkative in his own show.

"I'll ask Nishirumomi-san to help contact her later. Just tell her the specific time."

"Arigado~"

"By the way, what is the kanji of the year?" Otasu Sugiura asked curiously. He has been following Naoki Nagayama's program for a long time.

"It's "new"! "

"That's the word."

The two program producers chatted quietly~
