289 Naoki Naoyama Has Always Been A Good Man With Uprightness
...
After Naoki Nagayama hid outside for two days, he had to start his return journey because when he called Yoshimura Otomo at the hotel in the evening, he was told...
"Naoki-san, you can't hide...someone has already found the studio~ But let us persuade you to go back..."
Yoshimura Otomo first explained the current public opinion situation in Tokyo. Some fans who are not very old actually found the headquarters of Shuyu Pictures and wanted to seek advice from their teachers.
"This... is too exaggerated..." Nagayama Naoki felt that it was a bit too much. Is this considered an illegitimate meal?
But I can’t say for sure, Japan is a country with too many people who go to extremes. Didn’t Nana Okada also encounter extreme fans before, which caused her idol career to plummet.
Fangcun Oitomo advised: "Anyway, I have sent you off well, but Naoki-san really can't be cool outside. It's already December, and there are still many things for you to make decisions at the end of the year.
Apart from anything else, are you really not going to attend the audition for "Boys Over Flowers"?"
The production bureau is very efficient. The role selection that was previously discussed with Oyasu Sugiura has been scheduled for two days. If Naoki Nagayama does not come back, Oyasu Sugiura and Otomo Yoshimura will have to choose directly.
"Well... Otomo-san, I believe in you when it comes to casting!"
When Fangcun Dayou heard this, he couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart, but he quickly came to his senses:
"Naoki-san, let me tell you, don't even think about traveling around Hongye Shou alone!
Don’t think about visiting Daigoji Temple after seeing Kiyomizudera Temple, and then Enkoji Temple and Kifune Shrine. Don’t think about taking the Shinkansen from Kyoto to Nara, Osaka, Hyogo, and then taking a boat to Fukuoka in Kyushu.
, Nagasaki!”
Nagayama Naoki listened to Yoshimura Otomo report the route of Japan's red leaf hunting like the name of a dish: "Otomo-san...I didn't think about it at first, but when you said that, I was really ready to make a move...
.”
"Thank you! This is what I have always wanted to go!" Fangcun Dayou was about to cry. When he had no money, he worked hard to make money and was reluctant to spend it. Now that he has money, he is even busier and has no time to travel.
, "Who is like you, Naoki, who can put down work and go traveling casually?"
"Um...it's not just casual, I have done my job well..." Nagayama Naoki's tone weakened, feeling a little guilty.
After all, I still vividly remember my trip to Hawaii for more than a month this year. Later, when I filmed "That Summer, the Sea of Tranquility", it was equivalent to traveling to Okinawa for more than half a month...
"But, I always bring gifts to Otomo-san~"
As I was talking, I suddenly remembered that when I went to Okinawa, Yoshimura Otomo also went there! My tone suddenly became more confident:
"Besides, didn't Otomo-san also go to Okinawa?"
Yoshimura Otomo was speechless immediately. It was indeed more fun that time.
So I had no choice but to change the topic and said sincerely:
"Isn't Naoki-san very concerned about the filming of "Boys Over Flowers"? Who is the protagonist is still very important! You can't just pick one, Naoki-san still needs to be the final check~"
"Besides, things like the bonus assessment at the end of the year also need to be considered~"
"besides......"
Nagayama Naoki has always been a soft-spoken person, and when he heard Otomo Yoshimura's reasonable demands, he couldn't refuse.
"Hi~Hi~I'll be back the day after tomorrow!"
"Huh? Do you want to play for another day?" Otomo Yoshimura wished that Nagayama Naoki would come back immediately.
“When passing by Shizuoka, I naturally want to go back!”
...
In the past, I drove directly from Tokyo to Shizuoka, but this time I took the Shinkansen from Kyoto to Shizuoka in completely different directions.
Different from the coastal seascape when I drove before, this time I saw a lot of forests and mountains. In early December, there were usually yellowing leaves mixed with withered grass and evergreen trees, and occasionally you could still see them.
See patches of red maples, as if nature is showing you a beautiful picture of five-color gradients.
The one-and-a-half-hour journey is neither too long nor too short. In addition, pets cannot be taken directly on the Shinkansen. In short, Yutaro was languid and listless in the cage.
After I released Yutaro at Shizuoka Station, it took a while to recover.
"Yingtaro, if I take you out next time, I'd better drive~"
Unwilling to let Yotaro into the pet box again, Naoki Nagayama found a small truck near the station and asked the driver to take them to his hometown in Shizuoka.
As he got closer to his home and saw the familiar buildings, Taro became excited and jumped out of the car before it stopped, and then ran towards the yard of the old house.
Nagayama Naoki opened the courtyard door and then opened the main door: "I'm back~"
But Taro had already slipped in and started circling around the people in the living room.
Because she had called before, Nanako Nagayama was not surprised by her son's return, and she was even more happy after seeing Taro Taro:
"Yangtaro! Miss me?"
He also grabbed his head and rubbed it. It turned out that Tsuruko inherited his movements from his mother...
"Ogasan, I'm back~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile.
"Naoki~Welcome back~" Nanako Nagayama saw her son wearing a turtleneck sweater and a woolen windbreaker and couldn't help but said, "Naoki is really looking more and more like a star on TV!"
Nagayama Naoki smiled: "How should I put it, it's okay at least~"
Although he is a celebrity with a bit of fame...
After sitting down in the living room, I walked around and saw no one around Tsuruko: "Isn't Tsuruko back yet? Today is Friday, school should be over early, right?"
His mother brought him a cup of hot tea: "You are on your way. The Central Examination is coming in January. If you want to take the university entrance examination, now is the most stressful time."
The Central Examination (セン夜ー稓) is a Japanese high school entrance examination, similar to China's college entrance examination. However, Naoki Nagayama had no experience and he did not continue studying after high school.
Nagayama Naoki took a sip of hot tea and felt that his face, which had been stiffened by the wind before in the pickup truck, slowly softened. After rubbing it, he continued to ask:
"Hey, has Hezi already planned which university to go to?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. Anyway, let's pass the central examination first. I don't know what the results will be..."
The mother's words were also a little uneasy. Speaking of which, the two elder brothers of the Yongshan family had no academic talent. They had no experience in central examinations, and they did not understand the on-campus examinations of various universities in the future. Therefore, the mother was also a little panicked now.
"Ogasan, don't worry. Haven't Tsuruko always been a top student? There will be no problem." Nagayama Naoki was very calm. He talked more with Tsuruko and was confident in her achievements.
At this time, Yotaro, who was lying next to his mother, suddenly raised his head nervously, looked at the door, and then got behind Naoki Nagayama.
Sure enough, with the movement of the door, Hezi's voice came: "Ogasan, I'm back!"
Nagayama Tsuruko, who just opened the door, saw her mother and Nagayama Naoki sitting in the living room, and shouted happily: "Ni-chan, you are back~"
"Well, I just got home too."
"Why didn't I see your car outside?" Tsuruko took off his shoes, walked to the living room in slippers, and then saw Yutaro huddled up, "Ah, Yutaro is back too!
!”
Even though he begged his owner for help with his eyes, the big white dog still did not escape from Hezi's claws and was ravaged. After a while, he made a begging cry for mercy...
After rubbing it for a while, Tsuruko finally paused and turned to Nagayama Naoki with his shining eyes, full of curiosity: "Ni-chan! I watched the replay of Monday's program! Is Ni-chan really a playboy?
"
Looking at the hopeless Yotaro, Nagayama Naoki calmly replied: "How is that possible~"
"Then why are you so skilled at flirting with girls on the show?!"
I have anticipated this scene for a long time, and I have already prepared the answer in my heart: "Tsuruko, don't you know that variety shows have scripts? Every scene in the show is designed in advance!"
"Huh? Is that so?" Nagayama Tsuruko couldn't believe it, "Then...those random interviews outdoors?"
"Most of it is rehearsed! The live broadcast is no exception."
"What about the accidents that happened on the show?"
"It may also be arranged."
"What about...Tricky?"
"Well, except for the people who were pranked, the others were also well-rehearsed...but some of them were well-rehearsed."
Naoki Nagayama unceremoniously broke the concept in Tsuruko's mind, "Tsuruko-chan, the ultimate effect of the show is to please the audience, and rehearsals can better achieve this effect."
In short, no matter what else, when it comes to his family, Naoki Nagayama has always been an upright and good man!
After dispelling the curiosity of the resentful sister, the conversation finally became normal:
"Tsuruko, have you been preparing for the central examination recently?"
"What's recent? I've been preparing since the middle of the year, okay~ The last two months are more practice and review..." Tsuruko's face fell, "I feel like vomiting when I see the papers...
"
Thinking of the two months before the college entrance examination in his previous life, Nagayama Naoki had deep feelings: "Sister, I vomited and vomited... I got used to it..."
Tsuruko looked over with contempt: "It sounds like Ni-chan has passed the exam~"
???
Believe it or not, I will give you a three-year simulation of the five-year college entrance examination on the spot!
!
"..." Naoki Nagayama finally suppressed his impulse and refused to argue with Tsuruko, "Then has Tsuruko decided which university to go to?"
"Waseda University, Keio University, Sophia University are all fine."
"Uh-huh? It's actually the 'Gosanjia'? Are you a little too confident, Tsuruko?" Nagayama Naoki was surprised that Zaoqing attended these three universities, which are said to be the three most difficult universities to enter.
"Hmph, I just have confidence anyway!" Tsuruko tossed his hair, "If it doesn't work, Tokyo University can also be considered."
"My heart is really as high as the sky~"
Although he knew that Tsuruko was a top student, Naoki Nagayama didn't expect that she was so confident in her grades.
....
Nagayama Nanako couldn't stop laughing while watching the quarrel between the two siblings. The eldest brother was a person who never moved his mouth, and couldn't quarrel with Tsuruko. After Nagayama Naoki came back, the house instantly became lively.
The two of them were chatting while helping their mother prepare dinner. They had already informed them yesterday that their father and elder brother would also be home for dinner today.
In fact, since I mortgaged the izakaya and exchanged it for an apartment in Bunkyo District, Tokyo, more than 100,000 yuan has been paid in rent every month. If I didn't have to repay the loan, I could have closed the izakaya.
But this is just a lie. My father, Ken Nagayama, has a deep affection for the izakaya and will not give up easily.
However, the days of being busy until midnight have also been reduced a lot.
When dinner was almost ready, his father Nagayama Ken and his eldest brother Nagayama Aoki came back together, "We are back~"
Mother came to the entrance to greet her: "Welcome home."
Then I took some meat dishes brought back from the izakaya and heated them up in the kitchen.
"Father, big brother!"
Nagayama Naoki said hello, and the father and son sat at the dining table in the living room.
Sure enough, the eldest brother immediately asked about the scandal and the variety show, and Naoki Nagayama dealt with it by using the same explanation as he used to deal with Tsuruko,
His father, Nagayama Kenori, who has always been a man of few words, asked: "Naoki, what you said on the show about being ostracized is true?"
"Ah, yes, it's just like moving to a new home. When you arrive in a new place, there are always some neighbors that you can't get along with." Naoki Nagayama responded calmly, "But we already have a way to deal with it, please.
Don't worry."
"That's good." The father said simply and then picked up the tea cup and started drinking, leaving the space for the two brothers to talk.
This dinner was so enjoyable that Naoki Nagayama felt very at ease when he went to bed at night.
Sure enough, a good native family is really important to a person.
...
The next morning, after saying goodbye to his parents, brother and sister, Naoki Nagayama rented a car at a car dealership and headed to Tokyo.
Speeding past the coastal highway again, I was already used to the still rough sea, and even Taro didn't stick his head out of the window.
After returning the car at a car dealership in Tokyo, I took a taxi to the studio.
After disappearing for almost a week, I thought the public opinion in Tokyo had almost subsided, but I didn’t expect that as soon as I got off the car, I found several people gathered around the door of the studio.
When they saw Naoki Nagayama holding the dog, they immediately gathered around him. The cameras and recorders were also in place.
"Mr. Nagayama, do you have anything to say about the title of Naoki Huaxin?"
"Mr. Yongshan, are the scandals you have heard about before true? Who are you dating recently?"
"Mr. Nagayama, do you have any opinions on the selection of the film industry?"
"Mr. Nagayama, which movie do you think will win the Mainichi Movie Award this year?"
"Mr. Nagayama, I heard that the recent audition will be for next year's TV series, right?"
Naoki Nagayama, who was blocked at the door for an interview for the first time, was a little panicked. He could only say: "Private Marseille, I have just returned to Tokyo and I will not accept interviews for the time being..."
Then he immediately squeezed out of the encirclement and walked into the studio. He happened to meet Otomo Yoshimura who was about to come out.
"Otomo-san, why is there someone blocking the door?"
Yoshimura Otomo smiled slightly: "Naoki-san, our reporting during this period has worked. The Mainichi Film Awards Selection Committee issued a statement and made a commitment to the fairness of the selection."
"Huh? Really?"
Nagayama Naoki was surprised. This was no small matter.
For any award selection, "no mistakes can be made" is a very important rule. Even if there is indeed bias or error in the selection, you cannot say that there is a problem with your selection results, otherwise it will be the most important thing in the selection.
Authority has taken a hit.
"Yeah, we didn't expect it, but as reports related to our previous movies came out, people became dissatisfied that such a good movie was suppressed. In addition, "That Summer, the Sea of Tranquility"
The film has received rave reviews from movie lovers and industry figures, and the Mainichi Film Awards selection committee must have felt the pressure as well."
"Haha, this is a good thing. It shows that our counterattack has been effective."
Yoshimura Otomo asked: "Then do we still need to continue reporting?"
"Of course we have to. We will continue to output until all the results come out in February next year...but the frequency can be slowed down."
"Hey, I got it."
Nagayama Naoki felt that his mood suddenly improved. Although he didn't care too much about winning awards or anything like that, it felt good to let out a bad breath.
"By the way, Otomo-san, how is the selection going? It seems that the media is also paying attention?"
"Hey, because Fuji TV has invited many firms in the industry and is linked to Naoki-san, it has attracted some attention."
"...If you say that, you have to be more careful in your choices..." Nagayama Naoki had a headache. It would be very troublesome to remove certain people's idols.
"Hi, it's three o'clock this afternoon, Fuji TV Studio 1."
