1021, Private Marseille! We came to the wrong place!!!
.......
The snow has melted and the weather is getting colder.
It’s finally time for the award ceremony for the three most famous awards in the neon film industry.
Since the Film Academy Awards will be broadcast live, Akina has been helping Naoki Nagayama choose a dress at home since the morning.
Nagayama Naoki was a little helpless being treated as a clothes rack, but Akina was very enthusiastic and asked her husband to change one item after another, even the tie and cuff pins had to be picked over and over again.
"Isn't a simple formal suit enough?! If you're a man, you don't need to be so elaborate, right?!"
"How can that be done? The previous Burberry formal wear is out of season. As a celebrity, of course you have to keep up with the trend!"
Akina said seriously. During this time, she was designing clothes, and her feeling for fashion became much deeper~
Naoki Nagayama was the spokesperson of Burberry. During that time, he always wore the popular styles of the season... But later, maybe because Naoki Nagayama didn't appear in the camera very often and was not exposed enough, Burberry still changed it.
star.....
"...."
Naoki Nagayama really wants to say that men are all about what’s on the inside. Even if he walks onto the awards stage wearing a down jacket and cotton shoes, he is still Director Nagayama, a well-known figure in the film industry...
But seeing his wife's serious attitude...
Forget it, isn’t it just a clothes hanger? What’s the big deal!
"But, Akina, really don't you want to go with me?" Nagayama Naoki asked, "I just want to join in, it's lively..."
"Let's forget it. My belly is too big now and it doesn't look good in anything I wear..."
Akina touched the five-month-old baby and felt a little emotional.
"In two months, I may have to wear special maternity clothes~"
Nagayama Naoki noticed that Akina was feeling a little depressed due to her deformed figure, and quickly comforted her:
"It doesn't matter, Akina looks the best when she wears maternity clothes!"
"Pfft haha~ Naoki-san knows this to comfort people~"
"Because Akina is really pretty!"
Although it was a very cliched statement, Akina gently punched Nagayama Naoki after hearing it, but her mood did become much better.
Finally, in accordance with Nagayama Naoki's low-key request, I chose a dark fur collar windbreaker and turtleneck cashmere sweater for Nagayama Naoki, paired with gray pants...
...
In the afternoon, Naoki Nagayama was picked up by a special car and arrived at the NHK hall.
Speaking of which, this club has hosted quite a few events, including the New Year Gala, the Red and White Song Concert, and then the Film Academy Awards Ceremony... Sure enough, all large-scale events that need to be broadcast live need to be held here. It is considered a monopoly.
It’s an institution!
A red carpet has been laid out at the main entrance of the club, and reporters and fans gathered to take pictures of the stars, shivering in the cold wind, just to see their idols.
This was not the first time for Nagayama Naoki. After getting off the car, he walked quickly along the red carpet to the main entrance, not wanting to show off like a peacock in the cold wind.
At the beginning, some reporters did not realize that this man who was dressed very low-key actually surpassed many celebrities who were posing, almost half of the red carpet...
"This...isn't it Nagayama Naoki!"
A reporter finally came to his senses and hurriedly greeted,
"Naoki-san, look over here?!"
"...."
Although he really wanted to leave, he still had to give some face to the media when he was called. Nagayama Naoki had to stop and wave to the camera.
When he wanted to leave again, another official reporter called:
"Naoki-san, Naoki-san, please wait a moment. Can you answer a few questions?"
"...I'm going to get ready to award awards..."
"One or two questions, very quick!"
The official reporters even stood impatiently in front of Naoki Nagayama to block the way...for fear that this guy would suddenly sneak into the NHK Hall.
"Oh...okay~"
The reporter breathed a sigh of relief and quickly motioned for his cameraman to follow him, but unexpectedly, other reporters were also called.
"Naoki-san, you are preparing to shoot a new TV series recently, right?!"
"Well~" Regarding his TV series, Naoki Nagayama still wants to promote it, "It is the TV series of the same name adapted from my latest novel "Tokyo Love Story". If you are interested, you can look forward to it...it will be released at the end of March.
....”
"It's so fast. Didn't you hear that we are still looking for actors? Especially actresses are very demanding..."
The news that Tree Friends is looking for actors has been circulating in the industry for a long time. It has caused quite a stir. Many actors hope to participate in the show.
"Has the actress been found?"
"Hi, I'm lucky to have found the heroine a few days ago! The other actors will be confirmed soon!"
The reporter was even more surprised: "Who is the actor? Are you familiar with it?"
"My name is Suzuki Honami, she is an actress with a very contagious smile!"
Naoki Nagayama naturally doesn’t mind warming up the TV series in advance.
"Please also look forward to her performance in the TV series..."
"Arigado..."
This reporter still wanted to ask, but the other reporters who were waiting also rushed to ask questions. They all handed the microphone to Naoki Nagayama, and they were all talking.
"Naoki-san, how are you doing with Akina-chan?" "When is the due date?" "Has the baby been named?" "..."
Akina, who did not appear, once again easily stole the limelight from Naoki Nagayama.
"Please ask some work-related questions..." Nagayama Naoki said distressedly, "Akina is raising her baby at home, everything is fine..."
"Hahaha~" "Okay~" "Work..."
Many reporters also immediately changed the direction of the trend:
"Naoki-san, Shuyu, apart from "Tokyo Love Story", do you plan to release any other movies this year?"
"Well... there are currently two plans. One is being edited, which is Shuichi-san's "The Man with Zero Existence"..."
Nagayama Naoki returned seriously,
"The script for another one is being written, and the name has been decided. It's called "Tiger of Ginza"!"
"Oh oh oh?!" "Is it another action movie?" "Which gangster is it based on?!"
When everyone heard the name, they immediately thought it was a gangster movie!
After all, this name is too similar to the name of "The Legend of Hayato"... Eagle of Sumida, Tiger of Ginza... Is this going to become a yakuza universe?
"Hahaha, it's not a gangster movie, nor is it an action movie..." Naoki Nagayama explained repeatedly, "If you want to count, it can probably be regarded as... a drama film?!"
"Can you tell me specifically what kind of movie it is?"
"..."
After finally getting rid of the media, Naoki Nagayama finally arrived at the venue and met with Fumio Ishikawa of the Academy Awards Association.
"Ishikawa-san...Thank you for your hard work..."
Naoki Nagayama watched with emotion as many staff members came to Ishikawa Fumio to confirm the problem in a short while.
"This time, is it the last term for President Tanaka Tomoyuki?"
"Hey, it's true...Chairman Tanaka is not in good health...the tedious work of award ceremonies..." Fumio Ishikawa explained.
"Ha, then who will be the next vice president?"
"It depends on the board of directors' decision..."
Although Fumio Ishikawa said he was modest, he probably thought that it was him most likely, and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.
However, Nagayama Naoki is not optimistic about this... It is true that Ishikawa Fumio is Tanaka Tomoyuki's confidant, but the Film Academy Awards Association does not belong to Tanaka Tomoyuki alone... Ishikawa Fumio is a very capable person
, but just an executor.
If he really wants to run for president, Naoki Nagayama might have a better chance than him...
At this time, someone came to ask for instructions again. Fumio Ishikawa said respectfully to Naoki Nagayama:
"Private Marseille, Naoki-san, I have to take care of it~"
"Ah, it's okay, I'll go chat with other acquaintances..."
"Please leave it to Naoki-san tonight..."
"Hmm~"
Tonight, Naoki Nagayama, as the chairman of the jury, is responsible for announcing the final grand prize, and then also serves as the presenter...it is a very important role.
While waiting for the live broadcast to start, Nagayama Naoki met many acquaintances at the venue, including his old friends Masaki Kobayashi and Masahiro Shinoda, as well as famous directors in the industry whom he had met before...
Including the somewhat serious Akira Kurosawa, who has a great aura~
As time went on, more and more celebrities walked through the red carpet at the door. Naoki Nagayama, Yuko Tanaka, Takeshi Kitano and others said hello, and even met Mieko Harada, whom she had not seen for a long time...
"Mieko-chan is filming "The Man on Fire" right now, right?" Naoki Nagayama asked.
"Hey, Naoki-san, are you paying attention too?" Mieko Harada said unexpectedly, "The editing is almost done now~"
"Well...because it's director Fukasaku's masterpiece..."
What’s even weirder is that Matsuzaka Keiko is also participating... You know, she kicked Fukasaku Kinji!
Sure enough, director Fukasaku is a ruthless person. In order to make a comeback, he can even endure such humiliation! He has the style of ancient Han Xin!
"It was said that it would be released in April or May this year, but now there is no chance... I don't know what happened."
"..."
Maybe it’s the fault of “The Legend of Hayato”!
After chatting for a while, I saw Higuchi Kananko, whom I hadn’t seen for a long time... She looked very gentle with her hair tied in a bun, and she was a traditional Yamato Nadeshiko beauty!
At first glance, Naoki Nagayama felt that she looked like Satomi in "Tokyo Love Story"...a great beauty that several male protagonists recognized!
"But Nanzi-san..." Nagayama Naoki asked directly after a few pleasantries, "Are there any dates soon?"
"? If the schedule happens to be... Naoki-san, what do you mean?"
Higuchi Kananko had a scandal with Naoki Nagayama a few years ago. She was indeed a little moved at that time...but that's all in the past~
"I have a TV series "Tokyo Love Story" to be filmed here... I think Konanko-san is very suitable for the role of Satomi in it..."
Nagayama Naoki did not beat around the bush,
"I want to invite Kananzi-san to participate in this TV series..."
"Satomi?" Of course Higuchi Kananko has read the novel "Tokyo Love Story" and also knows that Satomi is the second female lead and a beautiful character...
If you say that, Naoki-san thinks I am a beautiful woman?!
Higuchi Kananko suddenly felt a little happy:
"Does Naoki-san think I'm suitable?"
"certainly!"
Nagayama Naoki nodded without hesitation,
"The moment I saw Kananzi-san, I knew that this role must be for you!"
"Hahaha, since Naoki-san invites you so sincerely, of course I will participate!"
.......
There is a large luxury yacht in the Pacific Ocean, which sailed directly from Tokyo Bay to the vicinity of Miyake Island.
The ocean is inherently warmer than the land, and due to the Japan Warm Current, the seawater temperature here is better. When there is sunshine during the day, it even feels like early summer on the yacht.
Rich people like to experience the feeling of summer in winter~
At this time, the entire yacht was playing loud music, and girls in bikinis served drinks. The guests were dancing and dancing in the yacht hall, partying day and night. When they were tired, sleepy, and made eye contact, they went to the small room.
rest.
Outside, by the deck pool, some were chatting, some were casually basking in the sun, and some were chatting about the latest interesting things in the entertainment industry.
There are delicious food everywhere on the yacht, all made on site by five-star chefs, fine wines everywhere, high-end drinks worth tens of thousands of bottles, and handsome men and beauties everywhere, some of whom are models, some of whom are students, and some who have seen them on TV.
A former 18th-tier star...
Matsuo Souo and Nishimoto Banyuki feel that these past few days have been really eye-opening...
After boarding the boat in Tokyo Bay, the two of them felt strange. It was not cold to have a yacht party in the middle of winter... Who would have thought that they would sail directly to the Pacific Ocean!
And it's really not cold at all, it's even a little hot...
Bathed in the warm sunshine and feeling the rising temperature, the chill originally brought by the winter in Tokyo has just dissipated!
Such a place is definitely not found randomly on the Pacific Ocean, but has been carefully positioned and came here specially!
Matsuo Souo and Nishimoto Hanyuki had already taken off their coats and were drinking beer on the deck in their shirts:
"Is this the luxury of the rich?"
"I thought rich people would go directly to Hawaii for vacation...I didn't expect that you can also have a pool party in the winter not far from Tokyo..."
"Why haven't you heard of it before?"
"It's just like those membership clubs...they're all isolated from ordinary people!"
"..." Nishimoto Banyuki took a sip of wine, "Sure enough, we were too young before. The life of rich people... is really unimaginable!"
Matsuo Sosei nodded:
"We should think now about how to learn more so that we can make "Tiger of Ginza"!"
"If it were filmed, it would definitely be a hit!"
"You have to find someone to ask first... make friends first..."
The two looked at each other and began to search the deck for a guy who must have looked rich. They soon found a handsome mixed-race guy with an open white shirt, a smooth figure, and a handsome face. He looked very lonely.
"Hello?" Using unfamiliar English, Souo Matsuo stepped forward and asked, "can you speak Japanese?"
"I'm the Neon Man!"
The handsome mixed-race guy spoke fluent Japanese and looked at the two young men who suddenly came up to him.
"Are you guys?"
"We went out with friends..." Nishimoto Banyuki said, "I have never seen such a party before. It's really surprising!"
“It opened my eyes!”
The two of them sang and talked to the handsome guy, and soon became familiar with each other.
"Brother Qingming, we have never been exposed to such a circle before. We just don't know if there are any more exciting activities... You know, the kind of activities that rich people participate in..."
Nishimoto Hanyuki asked cautiously...
"Hahaha, of course!"
The handsome mixed-race guy didn't care at all, and pulled the two of them toward the cabin on the next floor, and then Zhiguai Baguai opened the door of a cabin.
I saw smoke filled inside, and there were many figures lying around, as well as white flesh worms rolling on the bed...
Nishimoto Banyuki and Matsuo Souo were pushed in by the handsome guy, and then they saw clearly that there were men and women inside, and they all looked confused...
Then I saw the handsome guy picking up some strange pills from the table:
"Good brother, don't say that my brother doesn't take care of you, this is something more exciting!"
"!!!"
There was no need to explain this, the two of them understood it immediately! This is contraband!!!
The guys in this cabin are all already high!
"Come on, come on, this is a good thing I got from the Golden Triangle, but the money you spent on returning to Tokyo will be ruined... Come and try it!"
Seeing the handsome guy walking towards the two of them with pills, both of their faces turned pale:
"No, no, we don't eat contraband..."
"This is not good for your health..."
"Haha, it looks like the two of them are still babies..." Someone else in the room said with a smile, "Then don't be so excited right from the start, let's fly some leaves first!"
"Yeah..." The handsome guy also nodded and handed over some hand-rolled cigarettes, "Come on, try this...it's very relaxing~"
"When you relax, brother will take you to try an experience you have never tried before!"
Looking at the tight T-shirt under the open shirt of the handsome mixed-race man, and the tight pink underwear under his pants... and then seeing the way he looked at the two of them with lustful eyes...
Nishimoto Banyuki and Matsuo Souo seemed to understand something instantly!
