Tokyo bubble life

In mid-to-late September, the temperature in Tokyo becomes more and more pleasant. This kind of day where summer and autumn meet is the most comfortable~

The morning air has a hint of coolness, which makes people start the day refreshingly. As the sun rises, the sunshine is warm and lukewarm. At night, the evening breeze blows softly on the face, like A lover's hand soothes the tired mood after a long day.

The surface of Tokyo begins to become colorful. Colorful hibiscus blooms on the fence, morning glories spread their purple trumpets, red begonias cluster together, and rosemary exudes a fresh fragrance. Even the grass Among the dense green, there is also a gorgeous red Bana flower.

However, chrysanthemums are the most popular in Tokyo in autumn. There are various kinds of chrysanthemums, big and small, strong and clustered, golden and pink. By October, Tokyo will be decorated like a Flowers are blooming like spring!

"The sea of ​​flowers in Lake Toya should be in full bloom again~" Naoki Nagayama was sighing while driving. You can still see the changing color of the maple leaves through the window. "The maple leaves of the Red Fish Garden are about to turn red too. "

"You have to find time to go on vacation! Otherwise, these two yards will not be in vain."

But there are really a lot of things happening at the end of September and the beginning of October. The most important thing is that the Tokyo International Film Festival is about to be held!

"Naoki-san~"

Yoshimura Otomo rarely left the office and came to Shibuya with Naoki Nagayama. There are more than a dozen movie theaters here, as well as the NHK Hall in the main hall. This is also supported by Tokyo officials.

"The city government supports the Tokyo International Film Festival very much! They coordinated with the Traffic Management Bureau to conduct traffic control near the venue during the week when the Tokyo International Film Festival is held. Each theater will have direct access and other shops."

"That's good~"

World-famous convention and exhibition centers such as Tokyo International Convention and Exhibition Center and Tokyo Ariake Convention and Exhibition Center have not been established, and there is no cultural village or the like, so this time the Tokyo International Film Festival is centered around the NHK Hall, as well as Yoyogi of other venues, etc.

Before entering the main venue, Naoki Nagayama saw Tokyo International Film Festival promotional materials starting to be hung on the street lights around Yoyogi Park. Even the billboards at the bus stops near the venue had Tokyo International Film Festival. Promotional poster for the festival.

Yoshimura Otomo noticed Nagayama Naoki's gaze and immediately added:

"In terms of publicity, we have placed advertisements on almost all major thoroughfares in Shibuya, Tokyo. The closer we are to the venue, the more promotional materials we will have. When it officially starts, there will be even places like airports, train stations, and subway stations."

"Hmm~"

Nagayama Naoki nodded. There are basically fixed templates for the promotion of this kind of film festival, but this time the Tokyo International Film Festival is just a little grander.

The two walked to the main venue, where the decoration was basically completed. A large poster of the "Tokyo International Film Festival" was on the outer wall of the main entrance of the NHK Hall.

"We won't lay out the red carpet until before the official opening." Fangcun Otomo said, pointing to the large open space in front of the door, "This will be the place for the red carpet then!"

"Will it be called Shibuya Red Carpet from now on?"

Nagayama Naoki also recalled the red carpet at Cannes, with countless media and cameras, and celebrities competing for beauty. The red carpet that day was synonymous with Vanity Fair.

Walking into the NHK Hall, Naoki Nagayama saw the decoration of the main venue carefully designed by the Tokyo International Film Festival Preparatory Committee.

"The NHK Hall is originally a venue for large-scale events such as the Red and White Song Festival, the Song Festival and so on." Otomo Yoshimura brought Naoki Nagayama to the main venue. "Most of the facilities are complete and are used to award awards and accept media interviews. .It’s all very convenient~”

"Also, in Yoyogi Park next to it, there are open-air parties and the night open-air theater that Naoki-san mentioned before."

"."

Yoshimura Otomo talked endlessly about the venue arrangements of the Tokyo International Film Festival, feeling full of accomplishment.

Such a large international event can be prepared in such a short time. On the one hand, Tokyo has experience in hosting large-scale international events and has countless event support companies. On the other hand, there is also the active participation of all parties in the preparatory committee. Cooperate.

Established film companies such as Toho and Toei have contributed their theaters and channels, the Tokyo City Government and other officials have provided venue and program conveniences, and other parties in the entertainment industry are all contributing to the Tokyo International Film Festival. Hold on to your own strength.

Everyone wants to make this cake bigger~

In fact, Naoki Nagayama can only be regarded as a nominal sponsor, helping to contact all parties, inviting big names in the international film industry, etc. The really busy ones have been Otomo-san and Shuichi-san, as well as other employees of the organizing committee.

"Otomo-san has perfected it!" Nagayama Naoki looked at the basically completed venue and gave Yoshimura Otomo his 100% approval, "Great job! As expected of Otomo-san!"

"Haha, it's actually nothing~" Otomo Fangcun was extremely proud!

“It all depends on everyone’s joint efforts!”

"No matter what, without Otomo-san's coordination, it would not be possible to do so quickly and so well!"

"Haha, Naoki-san is so praised~"

"."

In order to protect the strongest tool man, Naoki Nagayama said kind words one after another, making Otomo Yoshimura smile and glow. Even the reflection of the Mediterranean Sea above his head shone much brighter than usual in the slightly dim room, like a light bulb. ~

After inspecting Yoyogi for more than an hour, Nagayama Naoki and Yoshimura Otomo returned to the Shuyu Building in Ikebukuro.

Yoshimura Otomo continued busy, while Naoki Nagayama came to Itou Shuichi's office:

"Shui Yi-san?"

Itou Shuichi was holding a thick script and reading it carefully. It was the second revised script of "The Man with Zero Presence" that he was going to film later.

"Didn't Naoki-san go see the venue?"

"Yes, I'm back." Naoki Nagayama sat on the sofa. "The basic construction of the venue has been completed. There will be a rehearsal at the end of the month, but there should be no problem."

Itou Shuichi put down the script, stood up and sat next to Nagayama Naoki and poured a cup of tea:

“The entertainment industry is very experienced in providing offline support to film festivals!”

"Yes~" Nagayama Naoki nodded and continued, "By the way, Shuichi-san. How is the progress on the jury's side?"

Imamura Shohei had already moved into a resort hotel in Tokyo Bay with the jury, and had been watching movies for almost a month. The person responsible for connecting with the jury is Itou Shuichi.

"When I contacted me last week, Imamura Shohei-san told me that the finalists have been selected," Shuichi Itou said, "I have submitted the list to the organizing committee and are now making the final evaluation of the awards. "

"That means the judges are going to fight~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile.

The judges on the jury come from many countries and are all big names in the film-related fields. They are all experts in their own fields. Naturally, they all have their own preferences and judging standards.

The final evaluation is to see whether a certain judge can convince more people to let their favorite movie win the award.

"Hahaha, fight." Itou Xiu smiled, "Naoki-san, those are decent people, how could they stage a full martial arts show!"

"Bah, any decent person is just pretending~" Naoki Nagayama said with disdain, "Ordinary people will naturally fight when they can't handle it!"

Not to mention the film industry, even in the political world, which has always regarded itself as a superior and decent person, there are many members of parliament who perform all-out martial arts!

"The judges can't reach that level," Itou Shuichi still didn't believe it.

Naoki Nagayama shook his head:

"Next time, the selection process will also be recorded and edited into a reality show. I'm sure many people will want to watch it!"

"."good idea

After the two chatted about the Tokyo Film Festival activities in the office for a while, they returned to filming.

"Shuichi-san, isn't your script ready yet? I've already found actors here." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "I'll start filming then!"

"It must be Kijima-san." Itou Shuichi stood up and handed a plan to Naoki Nagayama, "We even proposed a plan for a disclosure meeting."

"Oh?" Naoki Nagayama looked at the plan for the "101 Proposals" production reveal meeting.

“Is it actually held before the film festival?”

"Kijima-kun is a little impatient~" Itou Shuichi sighed with emotion.

Nagayama Naoki rolled his eyes, isn't this because Shuichi-san, you wanted to steal his project before?

So "101 Proposals" should be filmed first, then Naoki Nagayama's "Hayato: New World", and finally Shuichi Itou's project.

At the end of the 1960s, Shuyu Pictures' main shooting plans were these three.

In the hall building of TBS TV station, there are dozens of studios that can record at the same time, recording different programs in different categories.

Except for a few long-lived programs, most of them will probably use the same venue in turn. However, there are exceptions. For example, some variety shows of similar types often use the same studio.

After the main stage was set up, the guests came out to be interviewed and then performed along with singing. This is a very common announcement for idols and singers in this era.

Akina Nakamori came to participate in the filming of the variety show today

In fact, Akina Nakamori has rarely received announcements other than music broadcasts since her new contract. This time it was to build momentum for the Record Awards at the end of the year, to increase exposure and popularity, although the popularity was already very high.

This time in the variety show, the idol guests accepted questions from elementary school students. What kind of questions can cute children ask? Originally, Akina was not worried.

Until a kid asked directly Nahoko Kawai, another idol next to him:

"I've been a fan of Kawai Nahoko-chan since fifth grade. I want to know what Nahoko-chan's real bust size is!"

Brother Kid's question aroused laughter from the whole audience, especially a group of children. They were so excited that they didn't look like they were in their early teens. The two hosts wanted to rush up and cover his mouth.

This was obviously a sudden problem. The program team probably just asked the children to prepare questions they wanted to ask their idols, but unexpectedly, a big surprise came out!

Kawai Nahoko's publicity once used her plump bust as a selling point. Nakamori Akina felt the same way when she saw Kawai Nahoko struggling with the microphone~

If she was asked this question, she should also consider how to answer it!

However, the on-site director did not stop. Perhaps in his view, such a problem is not excessive and can even increase the ratings! Variety shows from the Showa era had more outrageous scenes than this!

"I have lost a lot of weight recently." Nahoko Kawai paused and responded with a smile. She still maintained a standard artist face, "I probably still have Dcup~"

"Ho ho ho~~" The guests and the audience started making noises, as if it had touched their excitement point.

Akina Nakamori kept her artist face on her face, but she was complaining in her heart. Sure enough, Neon Variety Show is very unfriendly to female artists.

Then I prayed that I would never meet such a kid.

"I want to ask Nakamori Akina-chan!" This time the person who stood up to ask the question was a girl. Nakamori Akina breathed a sigh of relief, "How can I find a handsome guy like Naoki Nagayama to be my boyfriend?!"

Nakamori Akina opened her eyes wide and looked at the little girl who asked the question. She didn't even go to junior high school!

"Are you thinking about your boyfriend so early?!" he blurted out with surprise.

"Yes. Good men are rare!" The little girl opposite actually replied very maturely, "Of course you have to prepare in advance."

"Are all children today so precocious?!" the host couldn't help sighing.

"I guess it's because I've eaten well~" his partner agreed, causing laughter in the audience.

However, Akina Nakamori seriously considered the answer:

"How to find a handsome guy to be your boyfriend."

The memories unfold one after another of chance encounters, cherry blossom viewing, chance encounters, support, and chance encounters abroad. It seems that Naoki-san was caught on the hook without much active effort. Ah bah! I must be very charming!

Nakamori Akina's mind was flashing with lightning, and she finally thought of a possible scene. She once took the initiative to go to Yamazakura-in to cook for Naoki Nagayama:

"The first thing is to know how to cook! Then when he is sick or weak, make him a lunch full of love!!"

Hearing Akina Nakamori's answer, the little girl and other guests looked surprised.

The host even spoke directly:

"Did Akina-chan cook for Nagayama Naoki when he was sick? Is this what is called taking advantage of him?!"

Nakamori Akina had a proud expression on her face and nodded with a smile: "That's absolutely right!!! I just took advantage of it!!!"

The discussion in the studio suddenly became louder. Others looked at Akina Nakamori with surprise. It seemed like this was true! ! !

The female guests next to her were complaining in their hearts, why Naoki Nagayama didn’t have any concentration at all! Was it actually done in one meal? ! If we had known earlier, we could have helped you cook! ! !

Such a handsome guy is also a talented man and a rich man. Akina Nakamori has made a big mistake!

Especially Kawai Nahoko's face was full of pity. She was a neighbor of Naoki Nagayama! ! !

"."

The little girl who asked the question was still a little unconvinced, but seeing Akina Nakamori's confident look, she secretly made up her mind. It seemed that her mother was right. To catch a man, you must first catch his stomach! ! !

After the guests were asked questions one by one, Akina Nakamori sang the most promising song "Meu amoré (My Love)" in the finale. The new song has not been produced yet~

With the exotic singing, this variety show achieved a satisfactory result.

In the big lounge afterwards, Akina Nakamori took out a stack of documents and was flipping through them. Nahoko Kawai came over curiously:

"What are Akina-chan looking at?"

"I'm looking at houses." Akina Nakamori didn't hide anything, "I want to buy a house recently."

"Oh? Is Akina-chan also buying a house?!" Nahoko Kawai came over to take a look, "Don't the offices rent an apartment?"

"I'm not in the office apartment now." Akina Nakamori shook her head, "I live with Naoki-san."

"Ah, by the way, you are already an unmarried couple!" Kawai Nahoko finally realized that it was normal for unmarried couples to live together, "Then why do you want to buy a house?"

"Because real estate values ​​have appreciated rapidly in the past two years, I thought about investing in it."

"."

Nahoko Kawai also debuted too early. She is young and has no idea about investing. She is just like other idols in the entertainment industry. She spends money freely after making money.

Young people who make a lot of money generally have no self-control. Just like NBA stars, lavish spending has become a habit. Without good investment planning, there are many who go bankrupt after retirement.

"Is real estate very profitable?" Kawai Nahoko was a little curious, "Can I also buy one?"

"Naoki-san said it's very profitable! It's better than being in a bank!"

Nakamori Akina nodded and generously gave Kawai Nahoko some of the information sent by Keiko Fujita.

"Nahoko-chan, you can read the information and buy it if you think it's good. Don't hesitate, I have a lot more here."

"Arigado~"

Nahoko Kawai took it and flipped it through. Sure enough, it contained information about the properties, including size, location, surrounding conditions, etc. Until she saw the estimated price at the bottom!

"One hundred and twenty million?!"

After looking through others, they all have a budget of about 100 million!

"Akina-chan, do you want to buy such an expensive house?!"

Nakamori Akina nodded: "Money in the bank is of no use anyway."

"No. I mean, have you actually saved so much money?!" Nahoko Kawai looked at Akina in disbelief.

"is it a lot?"

Nakamori Akina doesn't have much concept of large sums of money. She grew up poor when she was a child, so she cares about tens or hundreds of yen, but tens of millions or hundreds of millions, to her, is just a relatively big sum. Money concept.

After all, after making money after debuting, it seems like he hasn’t spent much money at all.

Naoko Kawai was so envious that she almost cried. She debuted two years earlier than Akina Nakamori! In terms of fame, she is also a second-tier idol! The record sales are not small

But now, at most, there are only tens of millions of deposits. The agency's commission is no joke!

Is Akina Nakamori's agency so conscientious? !

"I'd better not look at Akina-chan!"

Naoko Kawai returned the information to Akina Nakamori and turned away. If she stayed any longer, she might cry with jealousy!

"Ah?"

Akina Nakamori looked confused.

Didn't you just say that you would buy a house together? !

She really didn't expect that she could buy a mansion worth 100 million. What a dimensionality reduction blow to other idols.
