192. Isn't it normal to be tempted when you see a beautiful woman?
...
In addition to newspapers and bills, Sansakurain's mailbox generally does not receive anything else.
Even the guy delivering flyers would not go to this somewhat remote place.
However, Nagayama Naoki, who came back from a morning run with Yotaro this morning, found another letter in the mailbox.
When I returned to the house, I served the little guy some dog food, and saw him burying his head in eating.
Nagayama Naoki put the newspaper on the coffee table and opened the envelope. Inside was a wedding invitation, a simple and elegant lavender paper. It stated that the wedding would start on March 27th and the location would be the Tokyo Prince Hotel as mentioned.
Ah, these two guys, Wonta Nakai and Suzumi Hoshino, are getting married at the end of the month. They are about to enter the siege of marriage at such a young age~
The gifts have been prepared a long time ago, and a little gift money will be enough when the time comes.
Wait, how much is the gift money for Showa Tokyo? It seems like this is my first time attending someone else’s wedding.
Just as he was thinking about who to ask, Taro Taro had already finished eating the dog food and was sitting in front of Nagayama Naoki with a rice bowl in his mouth, his tail wagging like a windmill.
"Aren't you full?" He took two more teething sticks and put them in the rice bowl, "That's all we have, we have to wait until night!"
It seems that it is still a bit difficult to reduce the amount of food eaten all at once.
...
Take a shower after running in the morning and feel very refreshed all day long.
Nagayama Naoki took Yotaro to the studio together. In addition to wanting to know more about being on the show, he also wanted to know about Ito Junko's situation...well, mainly about the subsequent arrangements.
Anyway, he doesn't want to write any more songs. Most of the songs he has are pure music. Recently, he recalled "When the Cherry Blossoms Are Flying", which has both lyrics and music. He played it to Akina, and he didn't want to give it to her.
Junko Ito.
It can be said that Yoshimura Otomo is permanently stationed in the studio. Since Shuyu Pictures did not have any further shooting work, he found another assistant of Shuichi Itou, Masami Inada, to act as the manager of several idols. In the future, Masami Inada
I don’t plan to pursue my directing career all at once. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to get more exposure to other behind-the-scenes work at this time.
After all, Yoshimura Otomo is over 40 years old. He is a bit tired from running around every day and being on standby 24 hours a day. Especially after his wife moved to Tokyo, she has to pay public food from time to time, which is a bit overwhelming.
"Naoki-san, why are you here today?" Yoshimura Otomo was very surprised when he saw the person pushing in the door. He usually wouldn't come to the studio once every ten days and a half, "Is this Yutaro?"
?Why are you so fat?!"
"Haha, I just took it from my hometown and it became like this after eating too much. I need to lose weight recently."
Yoshimura Otomo touched Yotaro's dog's head and said with a smile: "Actually, it looks very cute... He looks as lucky as a sumo wrestler."
"That's too exaggerated." I thought about Yutaro's body shape as a sumo wrestler in my mind, and couldn't bear it anymore, "Otomo-san, is Director Shuichi out for filming?"
Shuichi Itou, who is always at the studio, is not here today, and even the shooting team under him is not here either. There are only a few clerical and financial staff left in the studio.
"Shuichi-san went to shoot an outdoor scene, and he seemed to have picked up a job from a certain magazine."
"Shuichi-san is still very capable~"
At present, Shuyou Pictures’ share is based on the project. Except for a few civil servants who have a basic salary, they all get paid based on the business. Itou Shuichi himself does not make money from these small businesses. The share of the two movies is already very large.
I am satisfied, mainly to support the filming team under me.
"By the way, Otomo-san said he was going to appear on the show. What are the specific circumstances?"
"It's a night hit show. I remember Naoki-san participated in it before, right?" Otomo Yoshimura said, "It was before we met."
Yoshimura Otomo has known Nagayama Naoki's career experience from a long time ago. It is really an exaggeration that the first song can sell 10 million royalties. If it were not for his good luck, he met Matsuda Sei
If you want to hit the charts, this song may only get less than one fifth.
"Yes, at that time it was a song by Seiko Matsuda, but this time it was changed to a song by Junko Ito, hahaha, it is indeed a kind of fate."
"Naoki-san...the production bureau took a fancy to this!"
???"Nani?"
Yoshimura Otomo took a sip of water: "This time, Ms. Seiko Matsuda will also participate in "Night Hit"! Akatsuki (Red Sweet Pea), which was released at the beginning of the year, has performed very well in the past two months."
"The production office found out that Naoki-san once wrote songs for Miss Seiko and now Junko Ito, so they thought this was a good stunt."
At first glance, it doesn't seem like anything. After all, it's normal for a creator to write songs for multiple artists, but Naoki Nagayama was a little scratched his head.
"Matsuda Seiko..." This idol, Nagayama Naoki even said in the program that he is her biggest fan.
He didn't believe that Fuji TV's production bureau didn't notice that in March newspapers and magazines, at that movie preview, he said that he was a fan of another undebuted idol... Wow, this is a joke.
It will definitely be ridiculed by the program crew.
Nagayama Naoki could even imagine the host saying with a playful smile: "Naoki-san was a fan of Miss Seiko last year, and he wrote a song for Yoshie Kashiwahara, and this year he wrote a song for Junko Ito, and he also said that he is another
A fan of an idol... So whose fan is Naoki-san?"
"Otomo-san, why don't you participate in this show..."
There is no shame in admitting to being a coward. If this kind of thing is ridiculed and allowed to be seen by audiences across the country, others may be labeled as a "big carrot".
But at this time, Otomo-san spoke righteously: "How could Naoki-san have such an idea! I have already made a promise to the program team! A man should do what he says!"
Am I Uzumaki Naruto? "Do what you say you will do" is my nindo?
However, Nagayama Naoki still told Yoshimura Otomo about his concerns, but what he received in exchange was a different look from the other party: "Naoki-san! What's wrong with the man's love?
You're not married and you don't have a girlfriend. Isn't it normal to be tempted by a pretty little sister?
Only after you get married should you fulfill your responsibilities wholeheartedly, right?!"
The Japanese entertainment industry is very tolerant of male artists dating before marriage, and even after marriage. Even the cheating of Japanese hereditary kabuki actors is considered to be a role in experiencing life.
In Yoshimura Otomo's mind, a rule-abiding person like Naoki Nagayama is probably an anomaly.
"Well..." Nagayama Naoki couldn't refuse, "Then let's do it~"
Next, Naoki Nagayama and Otomo Yoshimura talked about Junko Ito's future development. Otomo Yoshimura was still looking forward to Naoki Nagayama.
"Naoki-san, please take out another song from your collection!"
"Otomo-san, didn't I tell you? It's gone! I'm not a treasure chest, so where can I find so many suitable songs?"
However, seeing that he didn't believe it, Naoki Nagayama couldn't find a way to convince him. He could only ask him to search in the public music library to see if there was anything suitable.
"Otomo-san, what happened to contacting the record company you mentioned before?" Nagayama Naoki thought of his previous direction and cooperated with the record production company.
"We have already talked about similar matters with Philips Records, but they have no intention yet." It seems that other production companies have not yet been contacted.
"Please look for more in the future. If it doesn't work, you can ask the creator to customize it!"
...
While we were chatting, the phone in the office rang. Fangcun Dayou was confused and quickly picked up the phone: "Moses, Moses, this is the office of Shuyou Pictures."
Then I heard him seem surprised: "Toei?"
"Hi, I get it." "Is that so?" "Yes, I am." "Okay, see you then."
After such a series of conversations, Yoshimura Otomo said to Nagayama Naoki: "Naoki-san, someone from Toei called and wanted to make an appointment with the person in charge of Shuyu Pictures for lunch."
"Oh? I can't help it so quickly." Naoki Nagayama laughed, "Otomo-san, I'm here to be your friend!"
"Naoki-san, do you want to go there?" Otomo Fangcun looked at the time, "It's already this o'clock, why don't we go to dinner together, Naoki-san?"
"I don't want to! What can I get from the intrigue dinner?" Nagayama Naoki refused without hesitation, "Otomo-san, you can go by yourself~"
"Then...how should we talk?"
"Of course, you can talk to him whatever he wants, and you can talk to him whatever he talks about." Naoki Nagayama said a line that would later be used, pretending to be inscrutable, "Just be slow!"
"..."
Yoshimura Otomo looked confused, what are you talking about? His eyes turned around in the office, as if he was looking for something handy.
Nagayama Naoki saw something was wrong and quickly said: "It's just dragging!"
Only then did Fangcun Oitomo sit down again and said, "Naoki-san, if you talk like this next time, you might get beaten!"
"Hey, I got it!" People were under the eaves and had to lower their heads.
"Then how long will it take?"
"Of course you have to wait until they give you benefits! As long as the benefits can impress you!"
Fangcun Otomo was confused again: "What if the benefit he gives is very small, but my heart is moved?"
"Hahaha, I believe in you Otomo-san!"
Hearing these words, Fangcun Dayu felt a surge of heat in his heart. He was so moved that his eye circles even became a little misty. Then he heard the next words,
"Otomo-san's greed at the wine table is hard to satisfy!"
"..."
"..."
There was a long silence, "Otomo-san, why don't you speak?"
"Naoki-san...it would be better for you to talk less in the future."
...
Not getting a meal at the studio, Nagayama Naoki had no choice but to drive to Ginza with Yotaro.
He took the key that Keiko Fujita had brought him a month ago and planned to go to Silver Valley's watch shop to have another look.
Since the disco in Takadanobaba is going to be renovated, let's also renovate this clock shop. Anyway, a large amount of funds will be received at the end of the month, and my wallet will be very full at this time.
The old house located among the high-rise buildings in Silver Valley is very conspicuous and seems to be out of tune with this era.
If it can survive into the 21st century, it might be preserved as a historical relic.
Nagayama Naoki opened the front door of the store with the key. After more than a month of absence, the dust became thicker again.
"Ying Tailang, don't run around~" He tightened his grip on the dog leash, stopping Ying Tailang's desire to explore. No one had come to the deserted watch shop for a long time, and it was very deserted. However, some of the clocks hanging on the wall on the first floor were actually...
It's still running, and in the dim light, it makes the house look a bit eerie.
Of course, the valuable and intact clocks were picked up by the previous landlord. What was left in the store were old ones, not on time, and even some broken parts.
After turning on the light, the yellow light illuminated the back of the store, but the second floor... Looking at the old wooden stairs and the dark second floor at the end, Naoki Nagayama once again chose to follow his heart.
"I shouldn't be looking at this watch shop alone today, why not just turn it into a haunted house!" He thought angrily and wandered around the counter on the first floor for a while.
I actually found a cabinet with many abandoned old-fashioned watches. These were all vintage watches from World War II. Some of the glass had cracks and the straps were rusty.
But after picking it up and looking at it, it seems that the enamel dial is still intact.
At this time, watches were basically functional. If they broke, they would be useless. Repairing such old-fashioned watches was also very troublesome, so it was better to buy a new one.
However, in later generations, it seems that in the 1980s and 1990s, antique watches became a trend again, and watches from the World War II era became collectibles.
"It feels a bit interesting~" Although I don't play with watches, it doesn't stop me from collecting a batch?
It will also be a very meaningful gift to give to someone after a few years~
Nagayama Naoki took out all the old watches from this drawer, and then searched the store again. He found some old pocket watches and the like, and planned to find a watchmaker to restore them~
After walking out of the clock shop, my whole body felt relaxed under the sunshine.
There may really be something wrong with this store.
"Yingtaro, when you take a bath today, add a little moxa leaf to drive away evil spirits!"
He said to the little guy at his feet, and when he decided to renovate, he must find an auspicious day and ask a mage to perform a ritual.
...
Tsuruko Nagayama, who is from Shizuoka, is planning a trip to Tokyo in April.
Last time I went to Sensoji Temple, Huangju, and Meguro River. This time I want to visit more places.
But this time, it was discovered that Xiao Nai couldn't go to Tsubaki House because she had to attend a cram school...
Alas, as a top student, Tsuruko has never felt sorry for studying, and there is absolutely no need to participate in cram schools and the like.
"But this time, I have to go alone... It seems that it will be very boring if I don't have anyone of the same age with me. Besides paying the bill, Ni-chan can't chat among girls."
Tsuruko was scribbling boredly on his notebook, and when he saw the pen in his hand, he suddenly thought, doesn't he still have a pen pal in Tokyo?
Nakamori Akiho, how come you forgot her?
I don’t know why, but Nagayama Tsuruko and Nakamori Akiho were very close to each other. They wrote letters from time to time and occasionally made phone calls during major holidays.
If we go to Tokyo this time, wouldn’t Akiho be able to come with us?
Tsuruko did not call first, but chose to write a letter first, asking Mingsui about her arrangements at that time, saying that she wanted to see her, etc. Anyway, she explained her meaning in a roundabout way,
After all, it's not the same relationship as Fa Xiao. You still have to consider whether it will disturb the other person.
Seal the envelope, affix the stamp, and prepare to send it out tomorrow.
If there are no problems, I can go to Tokyo to play in April and see friends again.
Nagayama Tsuruko lay on the bed and turned over happily,
By the way, you can also go see Taro Taro!
...
At this time, Tailang, who was drowsy, suddenly got excited, let out a "woof", and looked around quickly.
