Tokyo bubble life

"Really? I went to the gym and ran for more than an hour?!"

When he heard the assistant's report the next day, Yoshimura Otomo opened his mouth wide, his eyes full of disbelief,

"And then he called people back to record?"

"Hey, I heard that after warming up, he first jogged for half an hour, then ran for ten minutes and rushed back immediately."

Assistant Ochiai Kimie is also a gossip, and she described it vividly,

"I heard that when I sang for the first time, I was sweating and couldn't breathe just to find the feeling of my heart beating violently."

Ochiai Kimie shared the description she heard vividly. There is no doubt that this first-hand description came from Onodera Kokoro

"This is too unbecoming. How can you let an artist be so undignified?" Yoshimura Otomo held back the smile at the corner of his mouth and pretended to reprimand a few words.

When Ochiai Kimie walked out of the office, he couldn't help laughing. He knew that Naoki Naoki would always cause trouble when he went to record a record.

Taking a little girl for a run on a hot day, and saying that he was looking for the feeling of a violent heartbeat, if it were someone else, there might be rumors of child abuse.

"Shizuka-chan will probably be scared of this guy Naoki-san in the future!"

No matter how this strange rumor spreads in the company, the recording of "I Want to Say I Love You Loud" has finally been successfully completed. In addition, after a few days of editing, the first episode of Naoyama Naoki's "Midnight Diner" has also been edited.

So today I went directly to the headquarters of Tokyo TV, next to Shiba Park where the Tokyo Tower is located~

"Naoki-san!"

After receiving the notification from the front desk, Kotaro Sakai, the director of the Tokyo TV production department, immediately went to the lobby to greet him,

"Long time no see."

"Haha, so I'm here now~"

Naoyama Naoki smiled and shook hands, and followed Kotaro Sakai to the reception room. The refreshing cool air swept away some of the stuffiness in the morning.

"Naoki-san has been very popular recently~" Kotaro Sakai said with a smile, "When you came in, were you spotted by the paparazzi waiting?"

"I think so."

Naoki Nagayama shrugged. The engagement incident was very popular and Akina Nakamori was on tour, so the eyes and ears of the Tokyo media naturally targeted him.

Anyway, when the convertible drove in, several paparazzi seemed to raise their cameras~

"Then be careful when you go out, you may be surrounded." Kotaro Sakai said with a smile. This kind of thing always happens in front of the TV station, and he is used to it. "If you need the cooperation of the TV station, please don't hesitate."

"Haha, I will~"

The two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and finally talked about the main purpose of today's visit.

"Director Sakai, this is the first episode of Midnight Diner~" Naoki Nagayama handed over the videotape, "Please take a look, Director Sakai."

"Naoki-san's work must be fine!"

Although he said it beautifully, Kotaro Sakai immediately took Naoki Nagayama to a place where the show could be screened, and then called all the backbones of the production department to watch it together.

Perhaps because it was almost noon, everyone's breakfast was almost digested. Seeing the food being made on the screen and hearing the sizzling sound of sausages on the grease, everyone seemed to have smelled the aroma of the grease

Some people couldn't help swallowing their saliva, and then looked around a little embarrassedly~

As the show progressed, a memorable and warm little story was told, as if there really was a warm little canteen in the middle of the night. In the dead of night, it satisfies your stomach and warms your heart.

The series was not long to begin with, and when it was over, some people were still a little dissatisfied:

"Is that all?"

"It's just the right time to have a leisurely meal!" Naoki Nagayama laughed, "This is the so-called 'dinner show'!"

Sakai Kotaro nodded, as if confirming this label, and turned to ask others:

"Mina-san, what do you think of this 'Midnight Diner'?"

Someone laughed and said, "I'm hungry. By the way, the dishes in it seem to have never been seen in other izakayas~"

"Yeah, I want to try the octopus sausage~" "That sweet tamagoyaki seems good too"

"When you're hungry, of course you should eat rich pasta!"

For a while, people in the screening room actually started discussing where to eat at noon~

"You guys!" Sakai Kotaro slapped the table, "Discuss this TV series for me Ah!"

This focused everyone's attention, but the content of the discussion was basically the same:

"If I'm hungry or lonely at night, I'd also like to watch a TV show like this~"

So, the TV show "Midnight Diner" passed the test so easily. After everyone else left, Sakai Kotaro asked:

"Naoki-san, is there only the first episode now? When will the rest be edited?"

"Currently, three episodes of material have been shot, and it will probably take another two days to edit~" Nagayama Naoki said, "At the same time, Shizuoka is still shooting, and it is expected that there will be no problem in shooting one episode per week!"

"That's good~" Sakai Kotaro nodded, "Then we will start arranging the broadcast time and the advance publicity."

"Hey! In the future, someone will be sent to deliver the latest episodes every week!"

"That's the best~"

After discussing the business, it was already time for lunch, and Kotaro Sakai was not stingy:

"Naoki-san, to celebrate the success of the cooperation, let's go for a drink together!"

"Eh? Let's go at noon, is that okay?"

"No problem!"

Kotaro Sakai smiled and pulled Naoki Nagayama out. As one of the five major TV stations in Japan, TV Tokyo would never lack this entertainment fee!

When they returned to Yamazakurain again, it was almost evening.

Naoki Nagayama got off the taxi, opened the door with the key, and walked into the low-key and restrained Yamazakurain.

Looking at the mansion building shaded by green bamboo, as well as the flowers and landscape pool in the yard, Naoki Nagayama was quite emotional.

"Yamazakurain has been renovated, but it seems that I have spent less time here."

Drinking with people from TV Tokyo, the alcohol was nothing to Naoki Nagayama, and he was still sober now. But he was still a little tipsy.

I poured a glass of water, drank it in small sips on the sofa in the living room, and then collapsed on the sofa and began to think.

I have several plans when I return to Tokyo this time:

First, edit and deliver "Midnight Diner", second, record "I Want to Say I Love You Loud", and third, prepare for the Tokyo International Film Festival.

Looking at it this way, it seems that everything has been completed!

Oh, by the way, I also did an additional task and decided on the heroine of "101 Marriage Proposals".

"It seems... nothing else?!"

Naoki Nagayama is quite happy like a primary school student who is going to have summer vacation, as if after the final exams are completed, it's time to have fun! !

As for summer homework, what the hell is that? Even a fool wouldn't do it! When I handed it in at the beginning of the school year, the teacher didn't even look at it, and just sold it as scrap.

"So, I can start having fun?!" Naoki Nagayama was eager to do it.

"Where to go? Who to go with? What to play?" Where, who, what

Then Naoki Nagayama found that he didn't seem to be interested in nightclubs and clubs. It seemed that every time he went there, he would just listen to music and drink. It would be better to go to the bar at home.

Oh, you mean the lady?

That's not impossible.

He reached for the phone next to him and quickly dialed:

"Brother Feng? Let's go out and have fun tonight! Instead of going to your KTV, let's find a newly opened nightclub!"

"Okay, it's a deal, you can also call one or two friends!"

"Yeah, yeah!"

Just like that, Naoki Nagayama and someone reached an indescribable agreement~

"But I drank at noon and I can't drive at night." Naoki Nagayama thought of this problem, and then clapped his hands, "By the way, don't I have a full-time driver!!! Let me find his phone number. His name is Toda Tomoyasu, right!"

Even in the hot summer, the temperature is not that high at night.

People who have been stuck in their rooms all day in the hot weather finally start to go out and have fun at night~

Old people stroll in the park and the river, while young men and women head towards the nightclubs with bright lights and the busy commercial streets. As for the children, they don't seem to be afraid of the heat during the day, but they hold the TV tightly at night.

In a booth in a club in Roppongi, Naoki Nagayama and Kaede Nagayama chatted while drinking:

"Brother Feng, I didn't see my uncle when I went back this time~"

"My father probably went to Kobe. He always went to the headquarters of the Yamaguchi-gumi during this period." Kaede Nagayama curled his lips, as if he was a little dissatisfied with his father, "KTV is so profitable, why do you always want to get into the mud of the Yakuza!"

Now Kaede Nagayama has completed the transition from a gangster to a capitalist. The huge profits from KTV have made him completely look down on the little profits from the Yakuza.

After all, illegal income from prostitution, gambling and drugs is not as fun as legitimate money? !

Why do all the gangsters want to clean up their names? It's because they are afraid of being liquidated, betrayed, or overthrown in the future!

"Uncle Xiongyuan has been in the gangsters all his life, so he probably can't adapt to it for a while~" Naoki Nagayama comforted him. After all, KTV has only been popular for more than a year or two, and it is normal for older people to be unable to adapt for a while.

"Next time I go back, I will talk to my grandfather. The Yongshan Group can't keep doing this!"

Nagayama Feng sighed. The guy who used to be big and strong now has white skin and high-end clothes. He actually feels like a big business boss!

Naoki Nagayama didn't say much about the "family business" over there, but instead directed the topic to other places:

"By the way, Brother Feng, when I went back this time, my grandfather said that he wanted me to make a movie about our family."

"Our Naoki family?" Naoki Nagayama said in surprise, "What is there to film about our family? The previous dozen generations were all poor people, at most a samurai."

Looking at Naoki Nagayama's teasing expression, Naoki Nagayama finally reacted:

"You mean, grandfather is going to make a movie of his own!!!"

"Hahaha, yes, you didn't expect it!" Naoki Nagayama also laughed.

"Hahaha, I really didn't expect it!" Naoki Nagayama laughed heartily, "Grandfather is very ambitious! Then Naoki, how do you plan to shoot it?"

"I have already written some outlines of the script"

Naoki Nagayama told him the general plot of "The New World of Hayato". This story combines the Yakuza, loyalty, betrayal and subjugation, which is very suitable for his taste as a former Yakuza person. Nagayama Kaede can listen to it. He nodded repeatedly.

"It will be wonderful to make a movie like this!" Nagayama Kaede patted Nagayama Naoki on the shoulder and poured him a glass of wine, "Naoki, hurry up and make it!! I will definitely go to the cinema to watch it! I will also shout Everyone who goes to KTV!”

Nagayama Naoki also had a smile on his face:

"Maybe when it comes out, my grandfather will let everyone in the Nagayama group go see it!"

"Hahaha, it is indeed possible!"

The two brothers kept laughing about this, drinking wine as if celebrating.

After a while, Nagayama Naoki asked:

"Speaking of which, if we want to film it, who will play the role of the young grandfather is a problem."

"Brother Feng, you and my grandfather are carved from the same mold. If you were to play the role, it would be perfect!" Nagayama Naoki looked at his cousin and said, "I just don't know, do you want to continue acting?"

"."

This sentence made Yongshan Feng silent. Do you like acting? Of course!

It was precisely because of the role of Tamao Serizawa that he got his first pot of gold, and then he came to Tokyo from the countryside of Shimizu, Shizuoka. Then he achieved his current achievements by chance.

but

"Naoki, have you forgotten? I told you that I would retire after "High School 2"!"

The Yakuza of this era still pay more attention to commitments. Since they said this in front of the camera, they actually planned to do so in their hearts!

"Hahaha~" Nagayama Naoki patted his cousin on the shoulder, "Brother Feng, you are really not suitable for the entertainment industry!!"

What kind of place is the entertainment industry? !

Only look at traffic, only look at popularity. Who cares what you have done or said before?

"Brother Feng, haven't you seen that so many celebrities who said they were retiring finally made their debut again!" Nagayama Naoki explained with a smile, "The ones who really retired are those who don't get attention even if they come back. people!"

For those who are popular, it is impossible to retire. Even for an idol like Yamaguchi Momoe who wants to retire, reporters will still take photos near her home decades later!

"So, if I start filming again, the media won't criticize me?" Yong Shanfeng asked doubtfully.

"Of course not. They will only interview you about the reasons for your re-debut, and then write a few more popular reports." Nagayama Naoki reassured him, "They are eager for you to make your re-debut!"

"Is that so?"

Yong Shanfeng twirled his wine glass and thought about it carefully.

"But I promised Xinhai-chan that I would focus on the company."

Seeing his cousin's hesitation and expectations, Nagayama Naoki made an excuse for him:

"Isn't it enough to just say what my grandfather asked for? It's about my grandfather's reputation, no, it's the family's reputation!"

In this era, if you say something like family, your wife will definitely agree. Otherwise, she will be said to be an unvirtuous wife. Besides, Ishida Shinkai and Nagayama Kaede are not married yet!

Yongshan Feng thought for a while and still felt that he wanted to star:

"Then I'll give it a try!!"

"Hahaha, that's good! No one is more suitable to play the role of a young grandfather than Brother Feng!" Nagayama Naoki nodded and persuaded Brother Feng, so there is no need to play the role of his eldest brother Aoki!

These two guys did inherit their grandfather's muscular physique.

After making this decision, Nagayama Kaede seemed to have opened a shackles, his mood improved, and he started to be cool in the club with Nagayama Naoki.

I called several young ladies who would accompany the drinks, and then the fair-weather friends I contacted also arrived, and everyone started to have a drink while chatting and gossiping~
