The movie theater in Tsim Sha Tsui has a poster for "Wealth Train". On the poster, a fat man wearing a leather jacket wears round glasses, a turban on his head, and a pair of goggles...
At first glance, he looks like the pilot Pollock in Hayao Miyazaki's "Porco Rosso"~
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
Nagayama Naoki passed by the entrance of the cinema and saw the familiar faces on the posters, and felt a strange sense of fragmentation.
"These guys in my memory are all middle-aged, but they look so young now..."
At this time, a few non-mainstream young people nearby wanted to go to the cinema to watch a movie. They saw Naoki Nagayama in a suit and tie standing at the door. One of them, who looked like a young girl, said carelessly:
“You pretty boy, you’re not easy to take charge of~”
Nagayama Naoki turned around and saw a few non-mainstream people. He felt that he was indeed blocking the door, so he nodded and got out of the way:
"Sorry~"
The little girl seemed to be taken by Nagayama Naoki's appearance, and she didn't speak for a while...
"You were born so handsome that you show off your talent?"
The young boyfriend next to him glanced at Naoki Nagayama, said something jealous, and immediately pulled his little sister away.
"What a sight to see!"
Then the little girl who was staring at Naoki Nagayama was pulled into the door of the cinema by her friend.
As he continued walking, Nagayama Naoki could still hear chirping sounds, such as "more beautiful than Leslie Cheung" and "fake foreign devil"...
Nagayama Naoki scratched his face:
"Sorry, I'm so handsome to be born..."
When you go out secretly, your identity is naturally given by yourself.
In view of the contemporary background of Hong Kong, Nagayama Naoki gave himself the identity of a Chinese who returned from studying abroad, so that he could explain his lack of proficiency in Cantonese and English, and then he could wander around Hong Kong at will!
Tsim Sha Tsui is one of the most prosperous areas in Hong Kong. During the day, the restaurants and shops on both sides of Nathan Road are full of tourists. At night, the colorful lights of Victoria Harbor are overflowing.
It was already late in the afternoon when we arrived in Hong Kong. After Naoki Nagayama wandered the streets for a while, night had fallen, but he could not see the road clearly at all.
As street lights, landscape lights, neon signs on commercial streets and lights in stores are all turned on, whether you are in a convenience store, an optical store or a home appliance store... they are all lit up, making the street look like daytime.
.
The whole of Hong Kong finally showed its reputation as the city that never sleeps!
Countless young people, middle-aged people, and old people ran out from nowhere and began to have fun on the streets of Tsim Sha Tsui....
The signboard of the tall Jade Restaurant on BJ Road is shining with red light, the neon signboard of Baron Nightclub is flashing, and not far away there is a mixed-match shop called Capital Restaurant and Nightclub...
There is also a club called Tasogare that hangs its sign in the middle of the road, with a small arrow pointing at the store door next to it, tempting...
Many pedestrians who could not resist the temptation walked into the place shining with ambiguous pink light, not knowing who to confide their troubles during the day~
Naoki Nagayama even saw a Japanese restaurant called Riyama!
"It's night..."
Taking a rest while walking, Nagayama Naoki didn't feel tired at all after walking around for several hours.
I paced slowly while biting a bunch of fish eggs. After I finished eating, I threw the wooden skewer into the trash can next to me and drank a cup of silk stocking milk tea...
Along the way, he had already eaten a bowl of chicken wings, pineapple buns, barbecued pork... In short, he had tasted almost all the Hong Kong-style delicacies he was craving for...
Flashing past a group of laughing young people, Nagayama Naoki arrived at the Star Pier.
Victoria Harbor itself is overflowing with light. The pier on Star Star Road is brightly lit, and the seafood restaurant converted from yachts is full of laughter. On the other side of the bay, in Central, the high-rise buildings seem to have recreated a sun in the middle of the night, illuminating the sea clearly.
....
"Don't eat any seafood..."
After visiting Tsim Sha Tsui, it was already late at night, but Naoki Nagayama looked at the night view of Central opposite and was eager to move. Even if there were no ferries at this late hour, so what?
Find a small workshop yacht parked at the pier, charter the boat directly, and ask the store to deliver it to the opposite pier!
As long as you have money, anything can be done in Hong Kong!
........
The time is slightly ahead of schedule, and Masataka Komori and Kyū Kijima of the Peninsula Hotel have recovered from the exhaustion of the plane.
As night fell, the two of them also felt the reminder from their stomachs, so they decided to go to the restaurant of the Peninsula Hotel for dinner...
After arriving at the sea view guest room not far away, Komori Masataka knocked on the door and asked respectfully:
"Naoki-san, it's almost dinner time, do you want to go to the restaurant together?"
But after waiting for a long time, no sound came...
Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyor looked at each other, then bravely knocked on the door again.
"Naoki-san?"
"..."
Looking at the silent room door, both of them had no choice. Kijima Kyor said to Komori Masataka:
"Maybe Naoki-san is resting?"
"Maybe I'm too tired..." Komori Masataka also nodded, "Let's go to the restaurant to eat first..."
"Um....."
The Peninsula Hotel is an international hotel. Even though the two of them don't speak much English, there are waiters who understand Japanese to help order food.
Masataka Komori ate seafood and sushi, feeling very happy that he could eat the delicacies of his hometown in a foreign country. He even ordered a bottle of wine and drank it slowly...
A drink for Neon people means drinking a glass of wine for an hour or two. When the two of them had eaten and drank enough and wanted to go back to the room to rest, they realized that they had never seen Naoki Nagayama come downstairs.
"Naoki-san, are you sick?" Masataka Komori hesitated, "Should we help order a dinner?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Kijima Kyor is more cautious:
"Let's ask the front desk to call and ask first..."
When no one answered the call at the front desk, Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyor began to worry!
"Did Naoki-san have an accident?" "How could it be!" "Are you fast asleep?!" "It's impossible to sleep so soundly!"
So I talked to the front desk with unskilled English, and the more urgent I became, the more unclear I was able to speak, so the hotel had to find a waiter who knew Japanese...
"They are saying that Mr. Naoki Nagayama of the sea view suite has not answered the phone. There may be an accident. They hope the hotel can send someone to check..."
The waiter relayed their words to the lobby manager.
The lobby manager who just arrived was a little surprised:
"Is he the gentleman in room 506? I saw him going out before?!"
After the waiter relayed the story, Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyor became even more puzzled:
"Did you read it wrong... Naoki-san is coming to Hong Kong for the first time, and he doesn't have a translator to accompany him, so it's impossible for him to go out alone!"
"...Ah, is that a neon man too?" The lobby manager was even more surprised, "When that gentleman went out, he even said hello to me... He said he was going to Nathan.
I took a look around... and asked me where the most popular disco in Hong Kong is to meet celebrities..."
"Where?"
"Of course it's in Lan Kwai Fong..."
The lobby manager subconsciously replied, only to realize that it was the young waiter who asked, and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Translate what I said before to the guest!"
Seeing the expressions of Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyon getting even weirder, the lobby manager couldn't help but said:
"That gentleman's Cantonese is a bit rusty. It feels like he hasn't used it since he has been abroad for a long time. His behavior is obviously Chinese... Could it be that he is an overseas Chinese in Japan?"
Yes, Nagayama Naoki spoke very skillfully when he said he was going to Nathan Road. When he went out, he nodded to the doorman and looked at the road signs. It was normal...
"Naoki-san is an authentic Neon person... I grew up in Shizuoka!" Komori Masataka said seriously, "Naoki-san is very famous and has a high status in Neon, so please don't take it lightly.
Say such things!"
"Okay, okay..." The lobby manager apologized quickly.
In my mind, I compared Nagayama Naoki with the neon man in front of me. Sure enough, there was no old-fashionedness in his bones at all, and it gave people a completely different feeling... That guy named Nagayama Naoki must have a close connection with China.
!
After learning the whereabouts of Naoki Nagayama, Masataka Komori and Kyon Kijima fell into confusion...
"Masataka-kun... Naoki-san, did you leave us behind and go play by yourself?"
Kijima Xu's face was full of helplessness,
"I actually went shopping alone..."
Komori Masataka is still looking for compensation:
"Maybe just go around and get some fresh air! I'll be back soon!"
"It's already night..."
"...."
"Kijima...do you have to say it so clearly?"
"..."
.......
On the other side, Naoki Nagayama has arrived at Central opposite Victoria Harbour.
"Queen's Road West turns to Queen's Road East, Queen's Road East turns to Queen's Road Central, why is there no royal palace on Queen's Road East? Queen's Road Central...people are pouring in like waves..."
He was humming this famous song by Luo Dayou, because Naoki Nagayama was walking on Queen's Road, heading towards the bustling Lan Kwai Fong.
Lan Kwai Fong is just an L-shaped street in Central, Hong Kong. However, there are many bars, dance halls, and restaurants here, and many foreigners gather here, making it a famous and exciting nightlife gathering place in Hong Kong.
Because the streets are narrow and the available space is small, many people even drink and chat directly on the street with wine glasses, laughing and laughing without any tension...
When Naoki Nagayama saw the paparazzi with cameras hanging around their necks and furtive eyes, he knew he was definitely in the right place...
Moreover, after Naoki Nagayama walked over, no one took pictures of him at all. The paparazzi in Hong Kong did not recognize him at all...
This is probably why celebrities like to travel to exotic places!
“Disco Disco…”
Looking at the name on the signboard, Naoki Nagayama was filled with emotion. The status of this nightclub in Hong Kong is similar to that of Studio 54 in New York, and I heard that it was learned from there.
Just like Naoki Nagayama’s original disco in Takadanobaba, and Studio 54 in New York, it’s a pity that it has been closed down.
Walking into the underground disco, Nagayama Naoki was attracted by the popularity inside~
Under the dim light, the girls sitting at the bar were holding wine glasses and laughing with their friends. The guests in the booths were talking loudly for fear that the people next to them could not hear clearly. The people on the dance floor were twisting their bodies and dancing passionately.
....
It’s not even midnight yet and the place is already crowded!
Nagayama Naoki also ordered a glass of wine and started drinking at the bar. Not long after he sat down, waves of girls passed by him and started chatting up...
"Handsome boy, are you alone?" "Handsome boy, aren't you lonely alone? Let's go dance together!"
"Hey, are you alone?"
"...."
The men sitting at the bar always refused politely, either saying that I was waiting for someone, or that they didn't want to dance. In short, all the beautiful and brightly dressed girls left in disappointment.
But there is no way, this is the difficulty of being too handsome, Nagayama Naoki has been troubled by this...
Until a handsome foreign guy with an exquisite face also sat next to him:
“Hello, handsome…….you’ve got my attention(You successfully attracted my attention)”
“…!!!”
At first, Naoki Nagayama didn't react, but when he saw the handsome foreign man's hand on his shoulder, he realized... Oh, he was being talked to by a man!
"..."
Subconsciously, Naoki's anus tightened, and Nagayama Naoki, who was proficient in English, could not even speak for a moment. He could only drink the wine in his glass in one gulp, and then left the bar as if he was running away...
When I reached the dance floor where the crowd gathered, I breathed a sigh of relief!!
"Hong Kong...is a bit dangerous!"
On the dance floor, there are still young ladies swaying in front of them, with unknown little hands passing over their bodies... But Naoki Nagayama can endure it!
After dancing to the music for a while, during the intermission, I was already pestered by a mixed-race young lady. She and two of her best friends gathered around Naoki Nagayama, chatting while drinking drinks.
At this moment, I saw four or five people walking into the nightclub together. The originally aloof nightclub manager was diligently showing them the way...
The man walking in the middle has short hair and is very chic. The most obvious thing is that he has a striking big nose!
Jackie Chan?
Nagayama Naoki saw that among the people with Jackie Chan, there was a woman he was very familiar with... Maggie Cheung... She still has chubby baby fat on her face!
Jackie Chan who walked into the nightclub caused a slight commotion, but it quickly subsided. Jackie Chan took the people and sat down in the booth...
In Lan Kwai Fong, you can see celebrities from time to time, even Jackie Chan.
Most of the people who come here come here to have fun, not to chase stars!
Nagayama Naoki was also pestered by the mixed-race girl and had no intention of saying hello....
At this time, Jackie Chan looked up at the situation on the dance floor, as if he wanted to see if he wanted to dance. At this time, he saw Nagayama Naoki being entangled next to the dance floor.
"That person looks familiar..." Jackie Chan asked the agent Chen Ziqiang next to him, "It seems to be the director of Neon... Naoki Nagayama of Shuyou..."
As an agent who specializes in dealing with people in the entertainment industry, Chen Ziqiang naturally recognized the great Neon director:
"It's really him, why did he come to Hong Kong?!"
He was abroad some time ago, and he didn't know that Naoki Nagayama was coming to Hong Kong...
"If you want to know the reason, just ask directly~"
Jackie Chan put down his wine glass, said something to the person next to him, and then walked towards Naoki Nagayama with a smile:
"Naoki-san!" He said hello in Japanese, and then switched to Mandarin, "Why didn't you come to Hong Kong to find me?!"
While several beauties next to him were surprised, Nagayama Naoki finally got rid of them, opened his arms and hugged Jackie Chan:
"Jackie, I just got here this afternoon, I didn't have time to inform you!"
"Ah~~~I don't believe this..." Jackie Chan glanced at the beauties next to him, "I have time to pick up girls!"
"Hahaha, we just met... Come on, let's go to your seat to talk!"
Turning back to say goodbye to them, Nagayama Naoki then surrounded Jackie Chan and walked towards his booth, which made him feel a little strange:
"Why don't you ask them to come together?"
"These women are so annoying!"
Naoki Nagayama revealed the troubles that most men don’t have and shook his head and said,
"When you see me alone, you stick to me and can't get rid of me..."
"..."
Jackie Chan said he understood very well. Ever since he became famous, some fans have been like this... However, those fans are mixed, but those who just surrounded Naoki Nagayama are all outstanding mixed-race beauties!
And based on the level of enthusiasm just now, maybe we can have an exciting multi-player sport in the evening!
"Chen Sheng...Long time no see~"
After sitting in the booth, Naoki Nagayama said hello to Chen Ziqiang. He had met him several times before, and the martial arts instructor of the family class was in contact with him...
"Naoki-san, I haven't seen you for a long time..."
Chen Ziqiang smiled and chatted. He is an agent in the entertainment industry. Apart from other things, his skills in dealing with people are absolutely perfect.
Seeing that Nagayama Naoki only knew two people, I introduced him to the other people in the booth...
"These two are members of the family class..."
"This is Maggie Cheung, her English name is Maggie, the runner-up of Miss Hong Kong...a rising female star~"
Then he introduced to others:
"This is Naoki Nagayama, a famous neon director. He was the winner of the last Palme d'Or. He filmed "The Summer of Kikujiro"!"
Under Chen Ziqiang's compliment, Maggie Cheung's eyes turned from curiosity to admiration when she looked at Naoki Nagayama. This is an internationally renowned director!
I didn’t expect to be so young and so handsome!
"Hello!" Nagayama Naoki greeted with a smile, stretched out his hand to shake hands with several people one by one, and switched to Cantonese, "I'm so happy to meet you all..."
He even speaks Cantonese fluently...
Now that the introductions were made, and in a place like a nightclub, everyone let go after a few drinks and started chatting.
"Mr. Naoki, why did you come to Hong Kong?"
Maggie Cheung asked directly because she was young and good-looking.
"Ah, this time I'm here to choose an actor...a role in a new movie..."
Chen Ziqiang immediately grasped the key point and started business for his own artists:
"What kind of role is it? Is Jackie Chan suitable for it?"
"Haha~" Nagayama Naoki glanced at Jackie Chan, no...this image is not the same as his own, "Jackie's image is that of a kung fu superstar, but this time I need a gentle scum..."
Look, how can you reject people without offending them! This is all experienced in the entertainment industry!
"I see..." Chen Ziqiang nodded, "So which actors did you find?"
"It's not confirmed yet. I'll audition directly at TVB tomorrow..." Naoki Nagayama said, "I asked an acquaintance to contact me..."
"I don't even know!" Chen Ziqiang patted his thigh, "It's too late to come back this time. There are many artists here!"
"Haha, let's go there together tomorrow~"
"Okay, it's settled!"
The two of them discussed tomorrow's affairs in just a few words, leaving Jackie Chan, Maggie Cheung and others speechless.
While drinking again, Naoki Nagayama suddenly saw a bald patch on Jackie Chan's head, so he asked:
"Jackie...I saw a report in Neon earlier, saying that you had a head injury...has it healed now?"
"This little injury is completely fine!"
In front of others, Jackie Chan must be proud of himself! As the eldest brother!
"I heard it's very serious~"
Maggie Cheung nodded beside her:
"It's really serious. I had an operation on my head in February... I have to rest for a long time!"
"Eh?" Nagayama Naoki looked at the wine glass in Jackie Chan's hand, "Then you still drink?!"
Jackie Chan glanced at Maggie Cheung and scolded:
"Chicken bitch, talk too much!"
Then when Maggie Cheung puffed up her little face, she said to Naoki Nagayama:
"It's okay. I started filming a week after the operation... It's been more than two months now, and the wounds have healed..."
"Drinking has been possible for a long time. It's just that the boss of the company thought I needed to recuperate, otherwise I would have already started filming!"
I guess the company boss is also scared. It would be a pity if his most important cash cow collapsed like this! It’s better to rest for a while first!
Nagayama Naoki looked at the guy who was patting his chest and saying that he had recovered, but he couldn't see the weakness of the injury at all...
Sure enough, he is a two-bone dragon who has been born and died for decades and can still film action scenes when he is seventy or eighty years old!
"Jackie..."
"Naoki-san, don't worry, I can go dancing... We have a few more shows tonight! Let me lead the way, and I will make sure you have a great time today!"
With a happy smile on his face, Jackie Chan took Maggie Cheung and went to dance on the dance floor...
