225, Ni Jiang has never been in love, how did you write it?
.......
As summer vacation approaches, there is a relaxing atmosphere permeating schools in Tokyo and even throughout Japan.
In a normal year, the boys would discuss where they would go to play football during the summer vacation, and the girls might discuss their favorite love shows, popular TV series, etc.
But this time in school, many girls began to discuss a novel called "Love Letters". If anyone hasn't read it, it seems like they are out of date.
Some girls with cheerful personalities, when they see friends they haven't seen for a while, their greetings become: "I'm fine, how are you?"
When male classmates who are familiar with me ask questions, they often get a blank stare or an "ah ho".
But what is certain is that "Love Letter" has set off quite a trend among the student community.
"Naoki-san? Are you really not considering holding a fan meeting?"
Kuniji Morikawa originally called to inform him of the good news about the reprinting of the novel. At the same time, he also explained that Shogakukan had received a lot of letters from fans. By the way, he asked Naoki Nagayama if he wanted to hold a fan meeting.
"Bang Zhisang, you really don't have to think about it."
Nagayama Naoki originally only planned to use the novel to make money, and was completely uninterested in fans.
"I'm very happy that readers like this novel, but I'm really not the kind of person who likes to communicate."
Kuniji Morikawa has dealt with many authors, and naturally he has also encountered introverts, and even authors with social fears. For these people, Kuniji Morikawa can only follow their temperaments.
"Since Naoki-san said that, there's nothing we can do about it. But what about those letters from fans?"
"Well, that's really a big problem."
Nagayama Naoki thought for a while, and it would be really disappointing to the readers if he handled it casually, but it seemed unrealistic to reply to them all.
"Anyway, I'd like to trouble Bunzhi-san first. I'll leave it at your place for a while. I'll take care of it when I come over later."
"Don't go to such trouble, I'll bring it to you!" Kuniji Morikawa said cheerfully, "Isn't Naoki-san's home very close?"
"Ah...thank you so much!"
After hanging up the phone, Naoki Nagayama was still thinking about how to deal with the fans' letters. If he read them, he would definitely read them over and pick out some to write back. But what should he do in the end? Will he keep them forever?
Nagayama Naoki suddenly thought of what a certain fairy tale master did in later generations, and bought an empty house specifically to store letters from fans!
It just so happens that the house in Bunkyo District is empty!
.......
I drove the convertible again and took Taro Taro to the studio. It was enough to show off the new car once. For the time being, it was more convenient to open it with the top down.
Today is already the final work for "The Tale of Hachiko, the Faithful Dog". Yoshimura Otomo and Yoon Tang Shuichi arrived early.
"Naoki-san, you're finally here!"
Yintang Shuichi looked at Naoki Nagayama who was walking in. He couldn't help but complain a little. He left all the final editing to me and Masataka Komori. "Naoki-san, doesn't your conscience hurt?"
"Hahaha, didn't you say it's nothing big? That's why I came a little late."
"This is the final confirmation, it's very important!" Yin Tang Shuichi was a little crazy.
Nagayama Naoki laughed and comforted the great director, while Yoshimura Otomo next to him was drinking tea leisurely and watching the two people's performances.
After a few minutes, Yintang Shuichi finally calmed down: "Masaka-kun, you can start."
As the machine started up, "The Story of Hachiko" began to show on the small screen in the editing room, and several people came closer to the screen and started watching.
What is a dog's life like? The first half of his life is happy, and the second half of his life is miserable. But no matter when, Hachiko's joys, sorrows, and joys all revolve around his owner.
From entering this family ignorantly to finally dying silently in a snowy field, after waiting for most of his life, perhaps in the final fantasy, Hachiko and his master finally reunited.
The more than 100-minute movie ended quickly. Even Shuichi Indo and Naoki Nagayama, who had watched it many times, could not help but be moved by the plot of the film. However, Otomo Yoshimura, who had not watched it much, actually had red eyes at this time.
, and then wiped the tears with a handkerchief.
Yin Tangxiu laughed when he saw it: "Haha, Otomo-san, are you so moved?"
Yoshimura Otomo ignored Indo Shuichi's teasing, and instead said to Nagayama Naoki: "Naoki-san, I believe this movie will achieve better box office than before!"
"Hahaha, of course, I said it a long time ago~" Nagayama Naoki is naturally very confident. After all, two movies about Hachiko's story were made, and almost all of them were hits and well-received.
Yoshimura Otomo nodded, agreeing very much, and then started to prepare for the premiere and so on.
But at this moment, something suddenly occurred to him: "By the way, Naoki-san, will you attend this year's premiere?"
"Will do."
After hearing this, Yin Tangxiu quickly added: "What about the subsequent promotion activities?"
I asked about the idea. The last promotion event for the movie was avoided by Naoki Nagayama under the guise of going abroad for literary exchanges. This time, Naoki Nagayama wants to go to Hawaii in July and August.
, of course I don’t want to participate!
"Eh? What do you want me, a little screenwriter, to do in a movie promotion event?"
Nagayama Naoki looked surprised, as if he was really just a small behind-the-scenes screenwriter.
"Naoki-san... don't pretend to be stupid..." Yin Tang Shuichi was speechless, "If you don't want to go, just say you don't want to go!"
"Uh...well! I don't want to go~"
Nagayama Naoki has always listened to people's advice. Since Yun Tang Shuichi has said so, it is natural to climb up along the pole.
The two people in the office were looking at this shameless man with a pair of dead fish eyes at this time, trying to make him feel ashamed with their eyes. Even Masataka Komori looked like his idol image was shattered.
At this time, Nagayama Naoki also felt a little embarrassed and had to make some concessions:
"Hi, hi~ I will definitely go to at least the premiere. As for other promotion activities in Tokyo, I will also participate."
At least I managed to appease a few people.
Finally, when Fangcun Otomo was about to go out, he suddenly turned around and asked Yintang Shuichi: "Hey, Shuichi-san, how are the Hachigong people who made the movie doing now?"
"I adopted the youngest one and plan to keep it as a companion for Yui-chan. The half-grown Hachiko and the adult Hachiko are temporarily stored in the pet shop, and I plan to keep them here in the studio in the future. What's wrong?"
Yoshimura Otomo thought for a while: "I want to take in the half-grown Hachiko."
"Eh? Are you sure?"
"Hey, I already feel so destined, but after watching the movie today I can't help it anymore."
"Hahaha, okay then."
It is indeed difficult for Hachiko to find a family now that he is an adult. After all, his habits have already been formed.
However, Naoki Nagayama is not worried about his future. After the movie is broadcast, maybe Akita dogs will usher in a wave of adoptions. At worst, they can be kept in a studio because they are short of a watchdog.
.......
Takadanobaba is still very noisy at night, and young people come to have fun on the disco street from time to time.
Night owls who often come here to have fun all know the news - that disco is about to reopen!
"I heard that the disco has undergone major changes! Even the door has very strange graffiti~"
Dapinghe, who just got off work, is also a frequent visitor to the old disco. Every Friday when he gets off work, he likes to go to this disco with his friends to sweat until the early morning, and then enjoy the weekend.
This month the disco was renovated, so Daheihe also tried to go to other discos and nightclubs nearby. Although it was fun, it always felt like something was missing.
The female companion Nagai Naon next to her also echoed: "It seems that the tickets are free for a week after the reinstallation!"
Ohira Kazuya held Nagai Naon's hand and walked towards the disco street: "Naon-chan, let's go and have a look today!"
When Naoki Nagayama decided to reopen the business, he asked Shigechi Araki to print a lot of flyers, and then notified some very loyal regular customers in advance.
When it finally opened, there was a long queue in front of the disco.
"Mochi-san, is everything ready inside?"
"Hi, the venue has been carefully cleaned, the drinks have been prepared, the sound and lighting have been tested in advance, and everyone in the Blast band has also prepared carefully!" Araki replied cautiously.
Nagayama Naoki looked at his watch and saw that the time was already 6 pm: "The time is just right, Shigechi-san, let's open the business then!"
"Hi!"
Following Araki Shigetomo's signal, all the neon lights in front of the discotheque were lit up. Under the flickering light, the graffiti on the wall outside the door seemed to come alive. The decorations of the cyber girls on both sides of the main entrance also lit up, as if
Guide people into a fantasy future world.
Kazuya Ohira greeted Shigechi Araki at the door familiarly, and then pushed open the door of the disco.
"This...what is this!
!”
The never-before-seen combination of cyber future style and wasteland style, the wild wasteland after the destruction of future technology, is refreshing to everyone. The music in the disco is exciting and novel, the combination of strong electronic music and human voices, and again
Coupled with the swaying lights to the rhythm, it makes people seem to have stepped from the Showa era of the 1980s into a discotheque of the 22nd century.
After ordering a cocktail and sitting in the booth on the second floor, Dahei Kazuya stared at everything in the disco. This style that had never appeared before made the young heart tremble.
"Naon-chan, come and pinch me!" Kazuya Ohira was breathing rapidly and his blood was boiling.
Although Nagai Naon was also amazed by the new decoration style, she was not as excited as her male companion. Seeing that he looked a little abnormal, she quickly pinched her arm hard.
"Ah~~It hurts, it hurts...Naon-chan, why are you using so much force!"
"Hahaha, Kazuya just felt like he was ill, so he must be cured!"
Ohira Kazuya rubbed his arms and said nothing more. Instead, Nagai Naon became curious, "Kazuya, you seem to like this decoration style very much?"
Dahei Kazuya nodded: "Naon-chan is a girl, so she may not feel it, but this style has never appeared before! Do you know about cyberpunk?"
"Eh... I'm not sure..."
"Um, do you know about giant robots? Astro Boy?"
"Ah, I still know a little bit about that one."
“It’s similar to that style!”
"Eh~~~"
Kazuya Ohira didn’t seem to know how to explain it to his female companion. After all, cyberpunk in Japan at this period was still in its infancy, and it was considered a niche within a niche.
"In short, it means that the style of this disco is at least 100 years ahead of its time!"
"Are you so powerful?" Nagai Naon, who was a little confused, could only express the most universal praise.
After Naoki Nagayama opened the door, he returned to the disco and stood at the highest booth in the disco, looking at the guests who came.
After a while, Araki Shigetomo also came over,
"Naoki-san, the Blast band is about to start performing."
"Well, do they have their own song?"
"Yes, mixed with their own songs."
After Naoki Nagayama nodded, he didn't say anything more. Since the management of the disco was handed over to Shigechi Araki, then naturally he should be trusted.
"Naoki-san, some guests don't seem to adapt to the new style..." Shigechi Araki observed the expressions and demeanor of the guests who came in, feeling a little worried.
"Bad Tape, Mao Zhisang, our disco is only so big, it can attract some people. Let the rest go to other nightclubs~"
What Nagayama Naoki wants to build is a disco that is famous and distinctive, not a large-scale one that makes the most money.
"The next week will be the time to screen customers. After that, normal operations will begin."
"Hey, I got it!"
.......
When he returned to Yamasakura-in, the sky had already darkened, and Nagayama Naoki still packed a dinner from the restaurant.
Speaking of which, except for breakfast, I haven't had a fire at home for a long time.
Naoki Nagayama was slowly eating his dinner on the coffee table, and Yotaro next to him was also chewing on a teething stick. Their postures could only be said to be exactly the same. No wonder people say that the more dogs are raised, the more they will resemble their owners.
The animation "Doraemon" is currently being broadcast on TV Tokyo. I don't know when the plot is, but Naoki Nagayama is watching it with great interest.
It was at this time that the phone next to the sofa rang again.
"Ni-chan~Have you had dinner?" After answering the phone, Tsuruko's energetic voice came out,
Didn't you call me a few days ago? Why did you call me again at this time?
"Well, I'm eating right now." Nagayama Naoki spoke while chewing beef, his voice sounded a little unclear, "What's wrong? You called me suddenly?"
"Ah, Ni-chan, it's already July~"
"Um?"
"It's summer vacation soon?"
"so?"
"You still remember what you said before about coming to see Hanabi, right?"
Although the tone was a question, Naoki Nagayama could hear the threat of "If you don't remember, you're dead" in Tsuruko's words.
"Hi, of course I remember. Just let me know in advance when you are free, and I will pick you up."
"Hahaha, Nai-chan is really good! By the way, Nai-chan will also come this time." Nagayama Tsuruko added.
"No problem, I'll just sleep in the same room with you~ If not, there's another bedroom available."
"Thank you!"
Nagayama Naoki was a little confused. He just had to make a phone call before coming here: "Is this why you called here?"
"Oh, of course not." Tsuruko's voice was a little twitchy, "Ni-chan, you wrote the novel "Love Letter", right?"
"?Who else is it if it's not me?" What kind of question is this...
"Hey, I want to ask, Ni-chan has obviously never been in love, how can she write such a profound love?"
The character "well" suddenly appeared on Naoki Nagayama's eyebrows:
"Tsuruko, I'll give you a chance to reorganize your language."
Nagayama Tsuruko over there seemed to realize something: "Ah... I didn't mean that Ni-chan is single!"
...Another stab in the heart...
"I'm just curious, is this feeling of love real? The heart-pounding feeling between Hiroko and Fujii..." Tsuruko seemed to be very confused,
Huh? What’s going on? This feeling of déjà vu?
"Tsuruko?"
"Um?"
"Do you have a boy you like?"
"Eh?!
No! I didn’t! Don’t talk nonsense!
"
Nagayama Tsuruko immediately denied three times, and then seemed to be stabbed,
"I won't tell you anymore! Bagani-chan!"
Listening to the sound coming from the microphone, Naoki Nagayama was stunned for a while, then he touched the head of Taro Taro's dog.
