Tokyo bubble life

This is not the first time Naoki Nagayama has come to his ancestral home in Qingshui City, and he is already familiar with it.

But this time, I actually saw four people at the door. Before the shift, there were only two people at most. Sometimes there was no one at all~

"What's going on? Did something big happen at my grandfather's house?"

Nagayama Naoki parked the car at the door and then walked towards the door.

"Kid! What are you doing here?!" A big man at the gate asked angrily after seeing Nagayama Naoki.

Nagayama Naoki was stunned by this question, "You don't know me?"

"Do I have to know you? Are you a famous celebrity? Or a great writer?" The guy laughed, and then said disdainfully, "Do you know where this is! Yamaguchi-gumi!!!"

"."

Taking a serious look at the guy with a ferocious face, Nagayama Naoki confirmed that he had never seen it before, and he was a bit stupid.

However, the guy at the gate felt a little unhappy when he saw Nagayama Naoki "staring" at him. He was very sorry for his appearance, and he usually hated pretty pretty boys:

"What are you looking at? Boy, you are very arrogant! I think you are quite good-looking. Believe it or not, I will sell you to the Cowherd's shop!"

"Are you so casual about accepting younger brothers now?" Naoki Nagayama shook his head, "What's your name?!"

"Ah?"

The three guys next to him were all watching the fun, and this guy rolled up his sleeves and wanted to teach the pretty boy in front of him a lesson.

But the movement at the door had already attracted the attention of the leader Shogo Hanada. He walked out of the guard room next to him and his expression changed when he saw Naoki Nagayama:

"Boss Naoki!"

As he said that, he pushed a few people at the door away.

"Why are you here?"

"I was filming a TV series in Shizuoka during this period, and I happened to come over to visit my grandfather." Nagayama Naoki shrugged, "Then I was stopped by the 'Four King Kong' at the door."

"Private Marseille, these are the younger brothers who have just been adopted. They have never met the boss Naoki!"

Hanada Shogo slapped the guy who spoke first,

"Look clearly, this is the team leader's grandson, Naoki Nagayama! Bow down and apologize!!!"

"Hi!" X490 degree bow!

Nagayama Naoki looked at the few people who bowed their heads, asked them to stand up straight, and then asked the first guy:

"May I have your name?"

"Boss Nao. Nao Shu, my name is Yuan Hongdou!" Yuan Hongdou's face turned red, and his already apologetic face became even more ugly.

"Oh, to answer your question just now," Naoki Nagayama said, "I am indeed a celebrity and a well-known writer."

"Also, if you are guarding the door in the future, don't look down on others! That will disgrace your grandfather, do you understand?"

Naoki Nagayama spoke in a calm tone, but Yuan Hongdou and the other gatekeepers felt great pressure and could only bow again:

".Hi!!! We got it!!! Private Marseille!!!"

Shaking his head, Nagayama Naoki greeted the embarrassed Hanada Shogo and walked inside, and then asked curiously:

"Hanada-san, I remember that my hometown sent a lot of people to Tokyo? Why do I feel like there are more people?"

"Naoki-san is talking about the guys who go to Boss Kaede's KTV, right?!"

Hanada Shogo's tone was a little envious.

"Those guys are enjoying themselves in Tokyo. Now every time they come back during holidays, they always wear gold and silver, fancy cars and watches. They also bring many gifts to their families."

"Some guys even brought their girlfriends back from Tokyo and built new houses."

“He was very chic when he invited us to dinner, and the cigarettes he smoked were all brand-name products.”

The more Naoki Nagayama listened, the more he felt a sense of déjà vu. Wouldn’t it look like someone from mainland China who went to Shenzhen, Hong Kong and other places to make a fortune in the 1980s and 1990s and then came back?

As the saying goes, wealth does not return to its hometown, just like walking in brocade at night.

Those guys also wore fancy suits, black leather shoes, big sunglasses, and BB cameras on their waists. Every time they came back, they brought bags of gifts, and some even drove cars.

Every time, it can arouse a burst of envy from the people who stay in my hometown. It also causes the children to yell and scream.

"Then what?" What does this have to do with the large number of people in the Yongshan Group?

"So many people have seen it." Hanada Shogo scratched the top of his head, "So everyone is spreading the word that you can make a lot of money by joining the Nagayama Group."

"Hahaha~"

Naoki Nagayama understood, so many people asked to join in, right~

Although at the beginning, Naoki Nagayama's idea was to let his grandfather's Nagayama team clear their names, but in recent years, he also saw that his grandfather had the idea of ​​clearing his name, but his uncle Nagayama Kumahara really wanted to He wants to be the boss of the Yakuza, so he has been expanding the power of the Nagayama Group.

So now the operation of KTV is actually completely hosted by Brother Feng. Otherwise, with the profitability of KTV, my grandfather would have been allin long ago~

However, Nagayama Naoki will not say anything about his uncle's actions now. After all, it is someone else's life, and it should be decided by himself. Anyway, Nagayama Kaede already has a way out.

"But the newly recruited boys still need to be taught a good lesson!" Nagayama Naoki said, "Don't be so rude."

"Hey, I'll teach them a lesson!"

Hanada Shougo nodded, as the younger brother, this is his responsibility!

The journey to the study arrived quickly. After Naoki Nagayama thanked Hanada Shogo, he opened the door and walked in.

In front of the tatami by the window, my grandfather, wearing loose Wufu, was sitting cross-legged on a futon, reading a book, and there was a pot of tea on the small coffee table in front of him, looking very polite.

"Grandpa, why are you always reading a book every time I come over?" Naoki Nagayama casually sat down across from him and asked with a smile, "Did you know that I came over and pretended to love reading a lot?"

"." After hearing this, my grandfather Hayato Nagayama was obviously shaken, and then he sighed and put the book on the coffee table, "Naoki, you are neither big nor small!"

In fact, he really doesn't like reading very much. He only reads some novels and the like. After all, he has been a Yakuza since he was a child. Who are the knowledgeable people?

But now one of his grandsons has become a great writer for some reason. This makes him think that reading should be in his blood, so he always has to pretend to be in front of Naoki Nagayama.

Your writing talent is also due to me, probably because you want to convey this kind of attitude.

"Hahaha~"

Nagayama Naoki smiled happily. As his career became more and more successful, or perhaps because his grandfather was getting older, there was not much left of the seriousness and awe he had when they first met.

"Are you going to shoot a TV series in Shizuoka this time?" Hayato Nagayama asked.

"Well, a TV series called "Midnight Diner" is based on the theme of my father's izakaya." Naoki Nagayama took a sip of herbal tea and "filmed the bond between diners and chefs."

"Diners and chefs?" Grandfather's face showed disgust, "What's so good about this?"

"Why not? In the busy and stressful daily life, the late-night cafeteria is actually a rare place to relax!" Naoki Nagayama explained, "There will be many people who want to come here to have a delicious meal after a day! "

".Might as well drink."

Hayato Nagayama shook his head and expressed that he could not understand, while Naoki Nagayama did not explain too much. People of the older generation are always somewhat resistant to the new culture.

So I turned around and talked about other things, including Kaede Nagayama’s life in Tokyo and so on.

"By the way, has Brother Feng brought Xinhai-chan back to see my grandfather?"

"Not yet." Hayato Nagayama seemed a little worried, "That little girl, does she know that my family is the Yakuza?"

At this time, Hayato Nagayama is more like a grandfather who is worried about the marriage of his descendants~

"You should know this"

After all, even if Kaede Nagayama didn't specifically explain it, there were so many tattooed men in the KTV, and Shinkai Ishida should have discovered it by himself.

"I hope there won't be any problems because of family background." Hayato Nagayama paused and looked at Naoki Nagayama, "What about you, Naoki?"

"I?"

"Does your celebrity girlfriend know?"

"Ah, of course Akina knows." Nagayama Naoki said, "I didn't hide it."

"That's good." Hayato Nagayama paused, looking forward to it, "Then when will I bring him over for a look?"

Nagayama Naoki thought for a while:

"When I get to my grandfather's side, it should be before we get married. I haven't proposed yet~"

"That's it"

Hayato Nagayama nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

In Neon, in fact, grandparents rarely interfere with the marriage of their grandchildren. If some of them live with their children, they will meet them when they meet their parents. For those who have separated, they will meet them for the first time at the wedding banquet. It's also common for newcomers.

Skimming over this topic, Naoki Nagayama talked about some recent plans, including the Tokyo International Film Festival, etc., so that his grandfather could understand his career development, and also talked about Tsuruko's situation in Tokyo~

After staying in the small study for almost two hours, my mouth was dry.

Seeing that it was getting late, Nagayama Naoki was thinking about when to leave, but saw his grandfather asking a little shyly:

"Naoki, you made a TV series out of your father's izakaya."

"Well, we haven't started filming yet~"

"That's what you mean. Since you can use izakaya as a theme," Hayato Nagayama said in a somewhat excited tone, "Is it possible to use the history of our Nagayama group as a creative theme to shoot a movie or TV series?!"

Hayato Nagayama has actually had this idea for a long time. After all, his grandson is a well-known writer. If a well-known director can create a novel or make a film based on the Nagayama group, wouldn't Hayato Nagayama have to leave his name in history? !

At this time, what popped up in Hayato Nagayama's head was "The Story of a National Thief", which tells the story of Saito Douzan's rise from an oil seller to a daimyo, "Miyamoto Musashi", a fitness story about wandering around the world with a lone sword during the Warring States Period, and "Kagemusha" ” and “Seven Samurai”.

"." Naoki Nagayama was shocked by his grandfather's idea, "Grandpa, do you want to make yourself the protagonist?"

"Ahem. In fact, my experience seems legendary to others!"

While speaking modest words, he roared in his heart:

"Why can't there be a movie called "The Legend of Hayato"?!

Naoki, my dear grandson, shoot quickly! Snap! ! ! Grandpa also wants to make a film! ! "

"Hahaha~"

Nagayama Naoki laughed again. Since ancient times, every prince, general and minister has the desire to leave his name in history. The common people also have it, but they don’t have the ability~

"Naoki!" Hayato Nagayama grimaced, and his wrinkled face turned a little red.

However, he still couldn't say anything scolding, but asked with some expectation, "Do you think it can be filmed?"

"Hmm," Naoki Nagayama thought for a moment, "It's not impossible."

After all, a "Godfather" has already been made abroad, so it's not impossible to make a Japanese version. And Japan has many movies with themes about the underworld.

If it's just to make a family documentary for the grandfather's pleasure, it's easy to do. But if you want it to sell well, there are some problems.

"Grandfather, if you want to make a movie with your grandfather as the subject, realistic movies are naturally fine." Naoki Nagayama said, "But if you want it to sell well, there will probably be adaptations or magic changes."

"It's just dramatization, the plot may be fictional, so can grandfather accept it?"

Nagayama Hayato naturally had no problem, nodding repeatedly:

"As long as the background is the Nagayama family, there is no problem! (If the protagonist's name is Nagayama Hayato, then That would be even better! )"

"Okay then"

Naoki Nagayama thought for a while,

"Grandfather, please prepare some materials or record photos, etc. I will take time to come and talk to you about the history of the Nagayama Group in the next few days to create the script"

"We can't start shooting until the script is written~"

"Okay, okay!" Grandfather Nagayama Hayato had no problem at all, and said very attentively, "If we need to use the venue at that time, there will definitely be no problem! ! ! As for people, everyone in the Nagayama Group can be used, even that kid Kumahara, there is no problem!"

"That would be even better!"

Naoki Nagayama also smiled and nodded. In fact, when famous directors are shooting Yakuza films, those Yakuza are very cooperative. After all, Yakuza also want to be famous.

I heard that when Jackie Chan was shooting "Shinjuku Incident", the local Yakuza blocked the road to support him!

In this way, visiting my grandfather at the ancestral home in Shimizu City actually gave me a mission.

Naoki Nagayama felt a little funny when he drove back~

After returning to the old house, he saw his mother preparing dinner, and Naoki Nagayama was not in a hurry to go to the crew, because the filming would not start until after 9 o'clock.

After stroking the dog's head for a while, he returned to the bedroom, took out the notebook in the drawer for the first time in a long time, and began to sort it out.

"Yakuza movies? What kind of movies are best sellers?"

"The Godfather is great, but doesn't it fit in with Japanese culture? Same with The Irishman."

"What about Hong Kong movies? Po Ho? Infernal Affairs? They don't seem to fit in either."

"City of God? There's no gunfight. Japan doesn't use guns."

"Yakuza: The Last Witch? It's not going to steal Kitano Takeshi's luck again, is it? We're all old friends, I'm a little embarrassed."

The names of famous gangster movies appeared on the blank notebook. I've seen them all, and I have a deep impression of Naoki Nagayama. I can recall all the content with a little effort.

But it seems that each one is missing something.

And these gangster movies all use guns. If they use guns, it doesn't seem to fit in with the situation of my grandfather's generation.

"Is there any Yakuza movie that doesn't use guns, is very violent and good to watch?"
