156, you are so old, do you still play Ultraman to fight monsters?
...
In the gap between the dark gray curtains,
A ray of sunlight leaked in, silently hitting the face sleeping in the blue quilt,
As if disturbed by the sunshine, the person on the bed frowned and struggled to say: "Ying Tailang, stop screaming..."
"Huh? Something's wrong..." Nagayama Naoki opened his eyes. Why didn't he hear Taro's wake-up bell ringing today?
I sat up and rubbed my eyes. The basket next to the bed where the little guy was sleeping was already empty.
Looking at the slightly open bedroom door, could it be that he went out by himself?
After opening the door, Naoki Nagayama called out softly: "Yutaro? Yutaro?"
Then I heard the little guy barking and climbing up the stairs, and then he circled around Naoki Nagayama's feet affectionately.
"Now that Taro is able to work, he can even climb the stairs to the toilet by himself!"
The sliding door in the living room has long left a gap for small things. After all, it is relatively rare to always stay at home to look after the house and not enough to climb the stairs.
After washing up, Nagayama Naoki began to prepare breakfast for the two of them. It was not good to always eat dog food. Yutaro occasionally drank porridge or something with his master.
Anyway, as long as it's food, he, Tailang, never chooses.
...
After breakfast, I played with the little guy for a while, and then I remembered that I wanted to call Fujita Keiko today.
"Moses Moses, is this Miss Fujita Keiko?" Naoki Nagayama spoke a little directly, holding the flailing Yotaro in one hand.
"Hi, is this Naoki-san?" The other person clearly recognized Naoki-san's voice, "Has Naoki-san made your decision?"
Naoki Nagayama was speechless. Why don't you consider the possibility that I won't buy it?
"Hi, Hui Zi-sang, I think the watch shop in Silver Valley is more to my liking, so I decided on it."
Hearing the confirmed answer, Fujita Keiko's happy mood overflowed from the phone, "Hi, Naoki-san, then I will contact the landlord now and prepare for the contract signing process."
"Okay, then I'll bother Hui Zi-san."
"I should be the one thanking Naoki-san. The first order of the new year is off to a good start! Hahahaha."
This young lady seemed to be a little uncontrollable in her joy. Naoki Nagayama could only say: "Then let's wait for the good news about Keiko-san."
"Hey, wait until I get in touch and then ask Nao Shu-san for the next step. So Nao Shu-san, please hang up the phone first."
Generally speaking, Japanese etiquette is to wait for the guest to hang up before putting down the phone.
Fujita Keiko is very familiar with Nagayama Naoki, so she is joking like this.
...
After hanging up the phone, there seemed to be one less thing on my shoulders, but I always felt like there was something else to do.
Thinking back to yesterday...
By the way, I also need to discuss with Yoshimura Otomo about inviting Yuko Tanaka to participate in the show, I almost forgot!
It seems okay to call Otomo-san to talk about this kind of thing, but it would be more respectful to go to the studio and talk about it.
He wanted to go out, but Taro bit his trousers and refused to let go.
Forget it, I'll take you for a ride today
For such a small dog, you can't actually see outside the window in the car. Instead, you can only lie down on the seat next to you.
Fortunately, I didn't get motion sickness, otherwise it would have been a big hassle to clean it up.
There is no wind today and the sun is shining brightly,
Occasionally, you can see some elderly people sitting in front of their homes and basking in the sun, and there are also older cats squatting on the fence with their hands folded, enjoying the sun together.
I have missed the morning rush hour, and there are only scattered pedestrians on the empty streets.
Neat and orderly Japanese shop signs are hung on the side facing the driveway, which looks particularly lonely because there is no one there.
The blue-gray asphalt pavement, brown street trees, slightly green grass, and off-white house facades... are like old photos frozen together, making people recall them.
Naoki Nagayama drove his car slowly and soon came to the studio.
In fact, when you look at the studio from a distance, it looks a bit like an enlarged version of an agricultural greenhouse, only black.
By the way, the studio owned by Yun Tang Shuichi shouldn’t be cheap, right? I’ve never heard him say anything about his family background, but I imagine that someone who can support their children’s art pursuits should be a family that’s not short of money.
After parking the car and walking into the studio with Yotaro in hand, Nagayama Naoki found a group of people gathering around him.
"What happened?"
The excitement of watching the fun suddenly became high, so I hugged the little guy and got closer.
The guy next to me couldn't help but share the urge: "President Yintang got a novelty that seems to be a monster from Ultraman... eh, is it Naoki-san?"
When he found out he was one of the bosses, the guy immediately became serious: "The president is experimenting with new props."
Then Naoki Nagayama saw Shuichi Yindo trying to stuff himself into a rubber monster suit...
When he was fully dressed, Yin Tangxiu put on several monster roaring poses and roared in conjunction.
This made Yotaro, who was in Naoki Nagayama's arms, make a squeaking sound in fear, and burrowed his head under his arm...
You are so old, do you still play Ultraman to fight monsters?
Childish or not!
Nagayama Naoki immediately hugged the little guy and ran towards the small office, shouting: "Yutaro, run quickly, the monster is coming, but it's just a piece of tape, the descendant of light, Ultraman Eddie, will come to save us!"
...
After playing around for a while, Yin Tangxiuyi entered the office out of breath.
"Shuichi-san, where did you get the monster suit props?"
"Hahaha, I went to ask a senior for photography skills yesterday, and he gave it to me!" Yin Tang Xiuyi sat on another stool, took a sip of water, and looked at the little dog moving around the table.
"When did Naoki-san get a puppy?"
"Haha, just a few days ago, his name was Yintaro." Nagayama Naoki lifted the little guy up and let him see Yintang Shuichi, "Yutaro, this is your uncle Yintang."
Yin Tangxiu rubbed the dog's head: "My Jiayi-chan has always wanted to raise a puppy."
"Hahaha, little girls can't resist such a cute little guy." Nagayama Naoki put Yotaro back down and let him play by himself.
"The preparations for the shooting haven't been completed yet. Is Naoki-san coming over today?"
"Ah, it's about the heroine. Yesterday I showed the script to Miss Tanaka Yuko. She thought it was pretty good, so she planned to join us."
"Is that so? This is a good thing." Yin Tangxiu patted his arm, "Then we need to confirm it quickly."
"Hi, so I came to Otomo-san today to make sure." Nagayama Naoki glanced out the window, "There seems to be no one in the studio."
"I should send Junko Into to class this morning. Speaking of Naoki-san, when will you start recording? Otomo-san has said in private several times that the class is about to end."
"Ah...this" Naoki Nagayama actually hasn't thought about it yet. He has been focusing on movies during this period. "Let's talk about it after Otomo-san comes. It's just a record. It's very simple."
Yin Tang Shuichi almost rolled his eyes,
Maybe only you, Naoki, can say this so brazenly,
Please apologize to the record industry over and over again to the producers who have worked so hard, scratched their heads and had to adjust and innovate!
