218, Wealth is really a convenient thing!

...

Seeing the design model of Silver Valley Tea House, Nagayama Naoki thought he saw a Japanese temple in the game.

"Homma-san, do you want to turn it into a temple?"

The original two-and-a-half-story independent store was raised by half a floor and turned into a three-story cornice, which is somewhat similar to the five-story pagoda in Asakusa; and the side facing the front and rear roads was completely transformed into transparent floor-to-ceiling glass, extending

The outgoing cornices just cover the protruding balcony; while the left and right sides facing the tall buildings on both sides have no windows at all and become stairs up and down.

The interior of the building adopts a loop layout, with an empty patio in the middle, and a large skylight on the top of the third floor, which allows sunlight to shine in directly from the ceiling, surrounding this patio that runs through the first to third floors.

, there are teahouses of various sizes distributed.

The overall space height is very bizarre, and the space feels very large.

"Naoki-san, the idea of ​​this design is to allow people to have a spacious natural space in the middle of steel and concrete. Breaking the restrictions of floors, the space of the entire teahouse will suddenly increase a lot." Takashi Honma was standing aside.

Introduction, "I combined the characteristics of Japanese-style courtyard villas and designed many small courtyards in the free spaces throughout the building."

"We have also absorbed the characteristics of Chinese gardens, one scene at a time and the characteristics of corridors and paintings. As the perspective moves, all possibilities can see different scenery..."

From the designer's chatter, Naoki Nagayama felt that this first-class architect had put a lot of effort into it. Judging from the model, the structure of the teahouse revealed both Japanese sophistication and Chinese magnificence.

Although it looks a bit like a temple pagoda from the outside...

"Homma-san, I'm very satisfied with your design style, but I don't like the bright red cornices and roof." Nagayama Naoki expressed his opinion.

"But Naoki-san, only this color scheme is the characteristic of ancient buildings. If you change to other colors, you will lose that Zen and sacred feeling..." Designer Honma said to himself a little excitedly

Reasons for design.

However, Nagayama Naoki said calmly: "Who said that only red cornices and black tiles can have the characteristics of ancient buildings."

"Eh? What does Naoki-san mean?"

At this time, Nagayama Naoki slowly talked about his previous travels, "Homma-san, I went to Nagoya Castle last year, and I still have fresh memories of the ancient buildings there."

"Ah, yes, Nagoya Castle is a famous city in Japan. It has accumulated ancient cultural styles." Takashi Honma also agreed.

But Nagayama Naoki was not here to discuss the culture of ancient architecture with him. He added: "Nagoya Castle is very beautiful after it was newly built. I heard that on a sunny morning, the green roofs and white walls seem to glow.

.”

"Haha, yes, I also saw it when I was traveling..." Takashi Honma said with a smile, and then suddenly got a little confused, "Naoki-san... you mean

..."

"Yes, that's what you think!"

This first-level designer was shocked by Naoki Nagayama’s bold idea!

Green roofs and white walls were colors that in ancient Japan were generally used only by rulers. They looked noble and beautiful. Even the Imperial Palace in Japan had this color scheme.

In fact, it is just a layer of patina on the copper tiles, which happens to be green. However, the copper tiles used in ancient times were also a way for the ruling class to show off their wealth. Over time, they became a representative of the nobility, leaving an impression of awe on people.

, so ordinary buildings are rarely used.

And now, a teahouse opened in Silver Valley actually wants to use such colors!

"Naoki-san, that's..."

"Hey, I know, but does Japanese law stipulate that it cannot be used?" Nagayama Naoki was not in awe of this, "If not, then why can't we use it? Isn't it beautiful?"

"It's not that it can't be used..." Takashi Honma originally wanted to use the feeling of a temple to create the cultural atmosphere of ancient buildings, but it seems that it is not impossible to use white walls and green tiles.

"If such a 'deviant' building appeared in Silver Valley, wouldn't it greatly enhance the teahouse's reputation?"

"Such a special building!" The architect began to sound excited, maybe he would become famous!

...

After leaving Honma Design Office, Naoki Nagayama drove to the disco in Takadanobaba.

This disco road seems a little deserted because there are no long queues and cars that are always parked on both sides of the road.

However, since izakayas, bars, arcades and other shops have opened, this entertainment street is still very attractive. At least you can see pedestrians coming and going on the street, and the shops are also popular.

The original disco has been surrounded by a circle of railings with the words "interior decoration" on it. Naoki Nagayama went in through the open door and found five or six workers working nervously and orderly. Naoya Sakata was patrolling around the room.

.

"Naoya-san." Nagayama Naoki greeted.

Sakata Naoya came over quickly: "Naoki-san, why are you here?"

"I just came over from Honma-san, so I stopped by to check on the progress of the project." He explained briefly, "How are you doing? Is it going well?"

"Hi, the foundation and basic wiring work are about to be completed, and the remaining decoration work will be completed soon. It will definitely be completed in about a week or two."

Naoki Nagayama took a look and found that the basic structure of the disco was already in place. Time was indeed not slow.

"This is the best~ It has been closed for so long, and I just saw that the popularity of Disco Road has dropped a bit."

"Yes, Naoki-san's disco is very important to this street. During the renovation, I met many nearby stores to inquire about it." Naoya Sakata remembered that the proprietress of the izakaya and the owner of the game arcade had come to visit before.

construction site.

"Hahaha, is that so? We really need to start work earlier."

Speaking of which, I don’t know what happened to the Blast band being trained by Araki Shigetomo. After opening, it would be a bit disappointing if we can’t play some punk rock.

After wandering around for a while, Nagayama Naoki continued to drive towards the Ueno studio. The final parts of "The Tale of Hachiko" had been filmed. Even Chiba Shinichi had finished shooting a few days ago, leaving only Hachiko's later years.

.

The staff of the photography team did not stay in the old house, but in an old-fashioned station nearby.

This one has not been abandoned yet, but the flow of people has been very small, especially when it is not during the rush hour. Yoshimura Otomo used his sharp tongue and some gold and dollar offensives to obtain permission from the webmaster, so that the camera crew can be here

Let’s borrow the venue for a while.

"Otomo-san." Seeing that the camera crew was filming, Nagayama Naoki directly found Otomo Yoshimura who was smoking nearby, "Why are you smoking here? Is there any problem with the filming?"

"Ah, Naoki-san." Otomo Yoshimura put out his cigarette when he saw the person approaching. He had long known that Naoki Nagayama didn't smoke. "There is indeed some trouble."

"Nani? Is there really one? What is it?"

"It's Hachiko." Yoshimura Otomo looked sad. "In order to make the adult Hachiko feel down and out, he had to wet his hair, make it dirty, and put on some makeup, but Hachiko was very uncooperative."

"Ha, that's it." Nagayama Naoki laughed. After all, he is a dog. It is inevitable not to cooperate in this situation. It is also difficult to act out the weak situation in the end.

"Naoki-san, we're afraid that we won't be able to film the final scene of being hungry and cold. After all, we can't really let Hachiko starve..."

Nagayama Naoki glanced at Yoshimura Otomo and Yoto Shuichi who were still filming, and felt a little comforted. His friends were all kind-hearted people.

In this era, even if Japan already has the "Animal Care and Management Act", if it were some other unscrupulous directors, they would not care about the situation of animal actors. As for how to show hunger and cold, then let them really

It would be fine to be hungry and cold, or even the final death, in order to capture the real feeling of death, maybe...

"Otomo-san, don't worry so much." Naoki Nagayama comforted him, "It's such a thing as being hungry and cold. It's summer now. Let the makeup artist shave Hachiko's hair thinner, and his overall body shape will become slimmer."

"Then the feeling of exhaustion... Before the shooting, let the dog trainer take Hachiko to run five kilometers, and then play Frisbee for a few hours. I'm sure he will be as tired as a dog!"

Oh no, Hachiko is a dog.

"But it's winter at the end of the movie...if the hair is too short..." Otomo Yoshimura is still a little puzzled, maybe it will be missed in the movie.

"Otomo-san, let the makeup artists worry about this. Let them blow-dry the hair or something to make it look thick but thin..."

Yoshimura Otomo complained from the side: "Naoki-san, I feel like you are making things difficult for the makeup artist..."

"What? Reina-san has done this kind of hair for many female celebrities."

"Eh? Is that so? Why didn't I know?" After making his hair thicker, Yoshimura Otomo subconsciously touched the area where he still had some hair, wondering if there could be some relief.

Completely unaware that Yoshimura Otomo had wandered off to Naoki Nagayama, seeing that the filming of this scene had ended, he immediately walked over,

"Xiu Yisang, how are you today?"

"Ah, Naoki-san is here." Yin Tangxiu took a sip of water, "We have almost finished shooting the summer and spring parts, and then we will start the autumn and winter."

"That's it, then this station needs some decoration."

"Yes...it cost a lot of money." Shuichi Indou said that in autumn, the decorations and plants need to be replaced with withered grass, fallen leaves and the like.

In winter, it is more convenient. The entire space can be covered with a layer of snow, but an expensive snow machine is required.

"Are you hiring the TV station's set crew?"

"Hey, thanks to some connections, we have found a team that specializes in serving TV stations." Yin Tang Shuichi said, "They will probably be here tomorrow. It is said that they have brought a truckload of fallen leaves with them."

"What, brought fallen leaves? At this time?"

"Yes, it is said that they are all natural fallen leaves collected from the woods."

The two chatted about the subsequent set, marveling at the Japanese scene production team.

After chatting for a while about the difficulties of filming, Naoki Nagayama also participated in the subsequent filming process. In addition to Hachiko waiting, there were also scenes with other actors and characters, some of which were friendly to Hachiko, and some that treated Hachiko.

He was driven away as a stray dog, and different characters formed the miserable life of the loyal dog Hachiko in the latter part of his life.

...

Nagayama Naoki returned to Sansakurain and found that the message light on the phone was on. Has anyone called again?

"Moses Moses, is this Nagayama-san? I am Hirayama Akihiro, the sales manager of the Toyota car store. I wonder if you still remember it."

"I'm calling to inform you that there is news about the Toyota Century you ordered. If you need it, I can order it for you."

"Time is tight and we need to confirm today and tomorrow, so if Yongshan-san has not changed his mind, please inform me at any time, above."

Ah, it's about buying a car.

Nagayama Naoki smiled. It seemed that the power of money was really great. In such a short time, there was already news.

But of course it would be better if he could do it as soon as possible. He called back according to the phone record of the incoming call. The ring only rang once and he was picked up.

"Moses Moses, is this Yongshan Sang?"

Hirayama Akihiro's tone was a little nervous, and it seemed that he was always by the phone.

"Hi, I am. When I got home and heard the message from Manager Hirayama, I came back right away." Nagayama Naoki asked calmly, "Hirayama-san, is there an indicator that you can pick up the car in advance?"

"Hi, Yongshan-san, I heard that a company temporarily had a car quota available due to some problems. I asked several old friends and finally got it from the headquarters, so I came as soon as possible.

Inform Yongshan-san!"

What Hirayama Akihiro said seems to be that the origin of the indicators is very normal, and he spent a lot of effort on it.

Naoki Nagayama was not impressed, because cutting in line is not a big deal, especially for people inside Toyota. At most, it is just an exchange of favors. If you meet a friend in a key position, even

It's just a matter of one sentence.

But you can't say this: "That's really hard work. Don't worry, I will definitely compensate you."

This is the fulfillment of previous promises.

"Excuse me, when can I pick up the car?"

"Nagayama-san, the earliest it would be is the end of June." Hirayama Akihiro answered, "If you're lucky, it can be about a week earlier."

"Is that so? It's four months ahead of schedule. That's really the best thing." Naoki Nagayama returned, "Then I'll have to trouble Hirayama-san to continue watching the process of picking up the car for me. When I can pick up the car,

I will personally bring the reward to the store."

Four months in advance is a commission of 4 million yen. Nagayama Naoki once again confirmed his commitment to Hirayama Akihiro.

"Hey, I will definitely pay more attention to the process! Please wait for Nagayama-san's good news!" Hirayama Akihiro said excitedly.

From the original half year to two months, Naoki Nagayama realized the convenience that money brought to him, and he also determined that he must continue to get rich.

"Wealth is such a convenient thing! Don't you think so, Taro?" Nagayama Naoki scratched Taro's chin.
