Itou Shuichi heard it: "The midnight bell? Naoki-san, do you have any other ideas?"
The Showa drama that I filmed before has been completely finished. Itou Shuichi no longer wants to look for those old-fashioned dramas to film. It would be best if Naoki Nagayama has a new project.
"It's just a rough idea." Nagayama Naoki didn't expect that the words he blurted out would be noticed, and he had to bite the bullet and tell the general plot.
"Oh, it's a model!" Itou Shuichi nodded after hearing the plot. The story is very novel, the atmosphere of horror is also very strong, and the exploration of human nature is also very deep.
Yoshimura Otomo thought, another video tape appeared, is it really the same line~
"Anyway, this project will probably not be launched until next year." Nagayama Naoki thought for a while and realized that filming "The Ring" was actually quite good. In the past, this movie made him afraid to watch TV for several days as a young boy.
Woolen cloth.
"But this time it is no longer a low-cost self-entertainment. It requires investment and regular actors."
Itou Shuichi and Yoshimura Otomo both nodded, Shuyou Pictures is going to be on the right track.
To attract investment or something, we first have to wait for Naoki Nagayama to write the script.
But he doesn't have much time during this time,
"The Ghost Story" also requires the main creator and director to go to various cities to promote it.
It is estimated that this will continue on and off until the end of the year.
During this period, you have to move, change banks, post offices, go through move-in and move-out procedures, etc.
We also need to conduct a year-end review of the disco below.
You also need to pay off the loans in your name at the end of the year.
Anyway, the Chinese New Year is just one month away, and I just don’t want to start a new project!
...
Returning to the apartment in Waseda,
This 60-square-meter apartment was the first place Naoki Nagayama put down roots after arriving in the Showa era.
Every time I come back, I feel a sense of peace of mind.
But people like the new and hate the old~
Compared with Chiyoda's house, this apartment does seem small.
It seems a bit cramped even if you put down a desk. It doesn’t have the style of Chiyoda’s “mansion”.
Naoki Nagayama doesn’t plan to rent or sell this apartment.
It would also be good to use it as a warehouse when not in use in the future.
If Tsuruko gets admitted to Tokyo, you can also borrow it from her~
Collect clothes, photos, letters, souvenirs, etc.
He is obviously single, but he actually has a suitcase packed with miscellaneous items.
The green plants on the balcony are thriving, including asparagus, succulents and a pot of cosmos. These will also be brought to the new house~
As for the rest, I’ll leave it all to you, Waseda’s old love, I’m going to find Chiyoda’s new love!
...
The suitcase was placed behind the convertible, and Naoki Nagayama drove the car towards Chiyoda without even looking back.
As the convertible sports car drove near Chiyoda's small western-style building, the traffic suddenly became thinner.
After turning into the side road from the main road, you can only occasionally see a few pedestrians on the road on weekday afternoons.
After driving a few hundred meters, you can see a two-story building wrapped in a wooden exterior wall. Dwarf bamboos are planted outside the wall. A small building stands in it, with a mix of gray, brown and black.
Stacked, showing a calm and low-key temperament in the afternoon sunshine.
The small western-style building has been renovated, and even the furniture has been purchased by Takashi Honma. Most of the furniture these days is made of solid wood, and the decoration is also solid wood flooring, so there is not much smell, and it has been ventilated for almost a week.
, can already live in it.
The key had been given a week ago. After opening the door and parking the convertible in the garage, Naoki Nagayama dragged his luggage into the main hall.
The black marble entrance hall, dark brown floor, blue-gray walls, white ceiling, light white gauze curtains, cherry wood original color tables, chairs, cabinets and bookshelves, etc., under the bright sunshine outside, look calm and high-end, and the texture of the space is overwhelming.
On the other side of the living room is the open kitchen and dining room. The gray marble countertop is used as the baseline. The lower part is dark gray including the cabinets. The upper part is light white, with hanging cabinets and decorative paintings, which is simple and clear.
The two bedrooms upstairs continue the high-end gray style. Of course, the master bedroom is his own. Naoki Nagayama has put all the clothes and souvenirs in it, and it is finally a bit popular.
The piano room is combined with the study room. At the other end, outside is the park in the distance, and the view is full of beautiful scenery.
Next we have to do the most important thing.
There is a small wooden sign on the coffee table in the living room with the name of the house written on it, which needs to be nailed by the owner to the door.
~~~Yamazakurain~~~
Instead of writing the name of the Nagayama family according to tradition, Naoki Nagayama came up with a very formal name based on the cherry blossom trees in the courtyard, which satisfied his inner feelings of being a middle school student.
Holding a mallet, Naoki Nagayama stood in front of the door and looked at the brown building surrounded by short bamboos.
There is no frivolity, the light bursts out, the rainbow rises...
But this low-key little western-style building finally officially bears the mark of Naoki Nagayama.
...
Nagayama Naoki didn't have any problems with the bed and slept soundly in his new home.
The next morning, I still slept until I woke up naturally.
While eating breakfast, I wandered around my new home. It was really big.
Opening the glass partition door, Naoki Nagayama breathed in the fresh air.
The cherry blossoms in the courtyard outside have withered, and the out-of-season blooms cannot last more than a few days.
This is no longer next to the main road, and there is no noise.
You can still hear the chirping of insects and birds early in the morning, and everything is full of vitality.
In rb, when you move to a new home, you always give some small gifts to the neighbors to show that you have arrived in this place.
However, Yamasakura-yuan is a bit secluded. There are small studios and other companies nearby. There are relatively few residents and they are quite far away. There is no need to send gifts to neighbors for the time being.
It just saves a lot of trouble.
.......
In the morning, I wanted to watch TV in the living room or go to the study to practice piano.
Yamazakuin's first phone call actually rang.
"Moses Moses, this is Yamazakura-in."
"Moses Moses, is this Naoki Nagayama?" The other person on the phone seemed a little unsure.
"Hi, I'm Naoki Nagayama."
"Ah, it's Naoki-san. I thought I made a mistake. I'm Kuniji Morikawa."
"Haha, Bunji-san, my family's name is Sansakura-in. It's just a bit of willfulness on my part and I don't use my surname."
"Naoki-san is indeed a writer~ The name of Yamazakura-in is also very suitable for a writer's home~" Kuniji Morikawa has met many writers over the years. Each writer has various quirks, which brings great joy to his family.
Changing your name is nothing.
"Haha, Aligado, but Bangzhisang called me. Is there any problem with the distribution of the book?"
"Not at all. The sales performance of "The Garden of Summer" is very good. The publisher has already reprinted it for the third time. The specific distribution situation will be explained in the fourth quarter, which is the settlement before the end of the year."
"Ah, that's good, then Bang Zhisang is calling?"
"That's a good thing too! Naoki-san" Kuniji Morikawa's voice became enthusiastic, "When I was selecting this year's RB Children's Literary Newcomer Award, I submitted "The Garden of Summer". Yesterday, news came that it was selected!"
"Eh? Todoroki? Are you sure?"
"Hi, the official notice should be issued this week, but my internal acquaintances have already told me."
After all, he is an old editor, so he still has some connections.
"Naoki-san can prepare to attend the awards ceremony at the end of the year."
"Hi! Thank you so much Bunji-san!"
"In addition, there are some translation matters into foreign languages that need to be discussed in detail. If Naoki-san is free during this time, can you come to the publishing house?"
"Arnold, I may need to travel across the country recently, and I may not be free until the end of the month."
"It's okay. This matter is not urgent anyway. Just tell me before you come."
