Tokyo bubble life

At noon, we had lunch at a Japanese restaurant in Sumida District~

Stacks of small portions of Japanese food were placed all over the table in the Japanese room. This was because when they were young, the main reason for drinking was that the two of them didn't eat as much as the herbivorous people after Heisei. Just a little was enough.

"Naoki, the KTV's one-day turnover is comparable to a month's protection fee in Shizuoka." Nagayama Kaede drank two bottles of sake before and was already a little tipsy. "Now that I think about it, everything I lived in was... What day is it!”

"."

Nagayama Naoki silently accompanied him with a glass of wine. Times have changed. If you don't engage in pornography, gambling, and drugs, there won't be many emerging industries that are more profitable than KTV and have lower costs. Unless you are involved in things like smuggling and arms?

"Now I have bought another sports car." Kaede Nagayama said, "It's a Mercedes-Benz. I also want to buy a Rolls-Royce or a Ferrari in the future. The Toyota Century you bought, Naoki, is too old-fashioned and not fashionable at all!"

"Haha, it's better to be low-key~"

"Why should you be so low-key after making money?!" Yongshan Feng fits the image of a nouveau riche, "You should live in a mansion, wear a gold watch, drive a sports car, and date beautiful women."

"." I seem to be missing none of what you said.

Naoki Nagayama continued to drink in silence, without interrupting his cousin's rants. Instead, he tried to persuade him from time to time, about being a low-key person and doing things in a high-profile manner.

"Looking at the international financial situation recently, there are undercurrents. Brother Kaede, as I said last time at Yamasakurain, you can prepare some working capital in the near future, and the Japanese yen will appreciate." Nagayama Naoki still gave some advice.

"Hey, hey, hey, I understand!" Yong Shanfeng nodded, he knew that his cousin would not lie to him.

However, today's high-spirited young people do not pay too much attention to making more money. Yongshan Feng, who has never suffered any setbacks, now that he has made more money still wants to enjoy and squander it.

"Anyway, I will marry Xinhai-chan and give birth to several sons to inherit my empire."

Yong Shanfeng was so excited that he said everything.

"By the way, Naoki, when do you plan to get married?"

"This one"

Nagayama Naoki really didn't think about it. His relationship with Akina went smoothly. It was like falling in love and living together step by step. He had to meet his parents and said that the next step was to get married. There didn't seem to be any surprises. However, the specific time was not given. It comes to my mind. I always feel like something is missing.

"Speaking of which," Yongshan Feng said without waiting for his cousin's answer, "I proposed to Shinkai-chan some time ago. As for the wedding date, I will decide it after I go back and meet the old man."

ah!

Proposal!

It was like a thunderbolt that hit Naoki Nagayama’s mind~

Only then did he realize that he didn't seem to have formally proposed to Akina. He seemed to have simply ignored it.

"Naoki. Naoki?" Yongshan Feng saw his cousin in a daze and shouted a little strangely, "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine, I just suddenly thought of something." Naoki Nagayama smiled, and then continued to fuck Yongshan Feng, "Brother Feng, I'm a little curious, how did you propose?"

"Ha, um, that was on a sunny day when we went to Kobe."

Next, Nagayama Kaede described his proposal experience to Nagayama Naoki in detail. Although he was very excited, it sounded like that to Nagayama Naoki.

To sum it up, it's just buying gifts and saying "will you marry me". The sense of ceremony is also very ordinary.

Well~ As long as two people are happy~

After drinking at lunch, Nagayama Naoki naturally couldn't drive, and it wasn't time to go home yet~

After sending Nagayama Kaede back to his own company, Nagayama Naoki slowly spread the wine along the bank of the Sumida River.

The Sumo Hall is located in Ryogoku. There is no Skytree landmark at this time, but if you go along the river bank, you will be in the direction of Sensoji Temple and Sumida River Park~

Spring is warm, flowers are blooming, grass is growing, orioles are flying, and the grass is green.

On the sparkling river surface under the sun, a foraging teal flies over from time to time, and plunges into the water. When it comes out, it sips several times in its mouth and shakes its neck rapidly. The splashing water drops make the originally bright color The feathers are more brilliant.

There are not many willow trees on the banks of the Sumida River. Instead, there are mostly cherry blossoms in bloom. As April approaches, pink smoke and clouds fill the banks of the Sumida River, which is quite reminiscent of the ancient artistic conception of "the long embankment is full of flowers like clouds for ten miles".

The Moti cherry blossoms falling in the wind slowly fell on the embankment, paving the entire road in pink, making people feel uncomfortable walking on it~

However, at this time, Nagayama Naoki didn't focus on the falling cherry blossoms, no matter how beautiful they were. After seeing them ten times and a hundred times, it was just like normal.

His head was buzzing with drunkenness, but his consciousness was still very clear. Naoki Nagayama's mind was always surrounded by the word "proposal" that he mentioned while drinking.

"What should I do if I propose marriage?"

This thought lingers in my head, and I am not even in the mood to pay attention to the beautiful scenery outside.

"Is it a public proposal or a private proposal? In front of friends or when two people are alone? Is it sensational or low-key?"

Questions emerged and fell one after another. Scenes of marriage proposals that I had heard and seen flashed through my mind. Then, more and more memories began to emerge and gradually connected together.

An ordinary male in a construction company pursues a gentle and beautiful cellist, rushes out of the road, stands in front of a speeding dump truck and shouts, "I like you, so I won't die!" "I will definitely make you happy. of".

The bride wearing a wedding dress ran up to the middle-aged man on the road at night and choked with sobs, "Please accept me."

""101 Proposals"?"

"101 Proposals" is another urban pure love drama. I was very moved when I watched it. It turns out that sincere secret love can really move the other person.

But now think about it, if a middle-aged hardworking uncle with no job, no savings, and no house wins the heart of a beautiful and gentle cellist, it seems like a toad has eaten the flesh of a swan.

Nagayama Naoki pressed his temples, feeling a little dissatisfied with his subconscious.

"The famous scene is very interesting. But what do you mean by reminding me now? Do you want me to run in front of a speeding dump truck and propose to Akina? Do you want me to travel through time again?"

"Should I let Akina propose to me in a wedding dress?" Naoki Nagayama was stunned for a moment when he thought of this, "Huh? This idea seems very interesting."

"."

After taking a taxi back to Takanawa 80 Building, Nagayama Naoki became much more awake.

He was already sober, so he naturally didn't think it was a good idea to let Akina counter-propose. However, he immediately went to the study and started writing what he just remembered. "101 Proposals" is, after all, a very influential TV series that has appeared in many movies. It has been remade in several countries.

"When the time comes, I'll probably let Otomo-san play the role."

Kamakura, an old-fashioned big house on the seaside somewhere, unknown wild flowers blooming on the roadside~

"Take your time, don't be in a hurry." Masataka Komori was instructing his junior student Souo Matsuo behind the camera, "We must grasp the best light and shadow to capture the most beautiful scenery."

"Hi!"

Matsuo Souo replied, and then moved the camera more carefully. He wanted to take advantage of the best light to capture all the beauty of Kamakura's spring.

The rest of the crew are also more or less familiar with shooting and acting, and there are experienced senior employees who are guiding. The whole set seems a bit chaotic, but it is slowly getting better.

The filming cycle of "Umi Street Diary" is very long, so Masataka Komori is not worried about delays in filming. The requirements for everyone are strict. On the one hand, it is to take the best shots, and on the other hand, it is to train them. ability.

This is the work of Komori Masataka during this period. While filming "Umi Street Diary", he must hone this group of reserve troops as a new force for Shuyou in the future.

"Masataka-san, there's a phone number." The crew members in the room called Komori Masataka, "It's Otomo-san."

"Hi~~Coming right away~"

Upon hearing the call from Yoshimura Otomo, Komori Masataka immediately put down what he was doing and went to the phone.

"Otomo-san?!" Masataka Komori said respectfully, "I'm here!"

"Ah, Masataka-kun" came the gentle voice of Yoshimura Otomo on the microphone, "How was the filming of "Umi Street Diary"?"

"The shooting went very smoothly, and the juniors are slowly growing up~" Masataka Komori said, "We are currently shooting the spring scenery."

"It went well, that's good." Yoshimura Otomo praised a few times, and then asked, "How is the talented Matsuo Souo you mentioned before?"

"Sousei-kun, he learns very quickly." Masataka Komori could only say this. "It's very practical. I think I will be able to control the game by myself soon."

"That's it. If that's the case, let's give him more opportunities~ Let him come back to Tokyo tomorrow." Yoshimura Otomo nodded, "Naoki-san wants to make a creative movie, let him play the leading role."

"Starring?" Komori Masataka was surprised, "Otomo-san, Souo-kun, he is not an actor, he is a director."

"Well, I'm going to play a young director." Yoshimura Otomo explained a little on the phone, "Naoki-san's new movie is called "The Camera Don't Stop", and it's about filming the production process of a movie, and the starring role is the director himself."

Now that we are talking about it, Yoshimura Otomo felt itchy for a moment, so he also talked about the general content of "The Camera Don't Stop", focusing on what is called reversal, what is called a play within a play, what is called breaking through the second dimension and other highlights.

Yoshimura Otomo finally said:

"Anyway, let Matsuo Souo come to the studio tomorrow morning for a discussion. Naoki-san will explain the script to everyone."

".Hi, I'll pass on the notice!"

After Komori Masataka put down the phone, his expression was a little incomprehensible, making the team members next to him afraid to talk to him.

Naoki Nagayama's new movie is something that all young directors want to participate in. After all, that person can make every movie a hit, and he can also learn a lot of shooting techniques and camera techniques.

What's more, it's an experimental avant-garde film. Even Masataka Komori, who has already directed it alone, wants to further his studies!

When he saw Matsuo Souo, Komori Masataka's expression became even more strange. In the eyes of neon people who are good at reading the air, it seemed like...jealousy?

"Zong Shengjun, come here."

"Hi?"

Although it was a little strange, Souo Matsuo immediately put down the camera and came to Masataka Komori's side.

"The company just called and transferred you to another movie project." Masataka Komori said, "There will be a meeting at the studio tomorrow morning to discuss the script of the new movie."

"Me?" Matsuo Sosei's eyes widened, "How could it be me?"

Then he immediately panicked: "Masaka-kun, I did a great job in "Sea Street Diary", I don't want to go to other film projects!"

Souo Matsuo also knew that "Umi Street Diary" was a project specially used to train seed players. The script was written by Naoki Nagayama, and it also had talented seniors like Masataka Komori to personally guide it. It was really an opportunity that couldn't be missed!

"Please beg Masaka-kun and the company for mercy! I want to stay here."

"Oh?" Komori Masataka gave a half-smiling look, "Do you really want to stay here in "Haijie Diary"?"

"Of course, I, Matsuo Munao, am Masataka-kun's loyal vassal, and I will never have second thoughts!!!"

Matsuo Souo quickly expressed his loyalty, just like a licking dog~

"Okay then, I'll call Otomo-san." Komori Masataka made a gesture of calling, "Just tell Souo-kun, if you don't want to join Naoki-san's new movie, ask him to find someone else."

"Hey, hey, Akizu sack!" Souo Matsuo heard it in agreement, but suddenly noticed a key word, "Masataka-kun is talking about Naoki-san's new movie?!"

"Yes. Naoki-san is trying a pioneering creative film. I heard that it will try a new narrative model and revolutionize the history of filmmaking~" Komori Masataka pretended to start dialing, "It's a pity that our Sosei-kun doesn't want it. After leaving "Haijie Diary", I have no chance to see new movies~"

"Akidou Sack!!! Akidou Sack Masataka-kun!"

Matsuo Munao pressed the button on the phone and said urgently,

"I think I can still think about it ~ I think"

"No, you don't want to." Komori Masataka pretended to push his hand away, "Wasn't he still my loyal vassal just now?!"

"Masataka-kun, my dear Masataka-kun!" Matsuo Munao hugged Komori Masataka's arm, his face full of flattery, "I am still Masataka-kun's loyal vassal, I just go to Naoki-san for further training!! !”

"Hmm."

Komori Masataka snorted a few times,

"Let go of my hand."

"Okay, okay. Masako-kun, as long as you don't call!"

Matsuo Souo never thought that he would be so fickle, but it was Naoki Nagayama's new movie, and it was a pioneering creative movie. If you roll around in such a project, your whole body will be gilded!

Komori Masataka did not continue teasing his junior, but instead warned:

"Sousei-kun, you must take this opportunity seriously. Naoki-san's new movie is one that I want to participate in."

"Hey, I will definitely pay attention!"

"Um"

Masataka Komori continued,

"Naoki-san's shooting is probably a little different from ordinary directors. He is not the kind of person who shoots repeatedly, but every shot has a profound meaning. So be sure to write it down as much as possible, and you will have a lot of feelings when you think back later. .”

"Hi!"

"Anyway, come on~" Komori Masataka patted the junior, "Come back from Naoki-san and participate in another movie. You might have the opportunity to direct alone!"

"Hi!!!"

Matsuo Souo's eyes were filled with light. This is the upgrade path of Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyon, the current backbone of Shuyu!
