395, Ming Caijiang Can't Participate in 'Hot-Blooded High School'?
There are many exotic restaurants with a good atmosphere near Shinjuku Station, and migaelpeaces is one of them hidden in the bustling city.
"Akina-chan, let's go try this restaurant, shall we?" Nagayama Naoki slowed down the car even more,
"Hi~"
Naturally, Xiao Mingcai has no objections. There is a saying that is good, what you eat is not important, what is important is who you eat with. Besides, it is also interesting to eat novel dishes.
Without making a reservation, the two of them went in directly, followed a waiter into the restaurant, and then took a seat by the window.
Spaniards also like seafood very much. There are many seafood dishes in the menu. The main course for the two of them is of course the famous Spanish seafood risotto.
Nagayama Naoki also ordered Iberian ham, grilled fish and rice, Spanish croquettes, fried croissants, and cold soup. He couldn't drink and had to drive~
On the opposite side, Akina’s classmate served Galician octopus, Madrid boiled vegetables, spicy potatoes, and Spanish stuffed red peppers. Sure enough, she is not afraid of spicy food.
But the drink I ordered was actually fruit wine. Akina seems to be underage, right?
Looking at the calm look on Akina's face across from her, if it's fruit wine, just treat it as an ordinary drink.
After the menu was taken away by the waiter, I had time to talk.
"Akina said before that she was going to shoot in various places in Europe?" Naoki Nagayama continued the topic in the car, "Are you going there in a few days?"
"I seem to be going to many places one after another." Akina Nakamori had already taken off her mask and pushed up her glasses, "Switzerland, France, and Italy. But after the national tour ends, there will be more opportunities to go."
"Then" Nagayama Naoki calculated in his mind, "isn't it going to be July?"
"Hey, there will be another concert tour at the end of July." Akina's little face wrinkled up. She tours the country twice a year. This workload is really too much.
"This is really compact." Naoki Nagayama lamented, "Akina's schedule is busier than the president of the company."
"Ah, is it the same as Naoki-san?" Suddenly remembering that Naoki Nagayama is also the president, the sadness on Akina's face suddenly disappeared and became full of energy again, "Naoki-san is not the president-san of Shuyu Pictures
?"
"Haha~" Nagayama Naoki couldn't help but laugh, "I am different as the president. I leave everything to my subordinates, so I am very relaxed. I even want to go on a lazy vacation abroad!"
"Isn't that the incompetent president-san?" The girl with a low point of laughter didn't know what she thought of in her mind, but she actually started laughing non-stop, "Hahaha~ Being Naoki-san's subordinate will look very good.
How pitiful~"
Is it pitiful? Naoki Nagayama recalled the appearance of Otomo Yoshimura and Shuichi Itou. It shouldn't be pitiable. After all, the first two are worth hundreds of millions!
Just as I was talking, the appetizers arrived~
Iberian ham is made from black pigs that are free-range in the mountains and only fed Mediterranean acorns. It is made with secret seasonings, air-dried at high temperatures and then sealed with wax to drain out almost all the fat.
The raw ham slices melt in your mouth. The fresh aroma of the meat and the mellow aroma of the fresh fruit are mixed with a hint of sweetness. The saltiness and freshness are perfectly blended together. The taste is rich and fragrant, which is really a rare delicacy.
.
The spicy potatoes are full of charred aroma, crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. When paired with the restaurant's special spicy sauce, it actually has a slightly sweet and slightly sour feeling, which is very appetizing.
Spanish croquettes, fried croissants, Galician octopus, and Spanish stuffed red peppers were all served at about the same time, filling the table to the brim.
Galician octopus served on a wooden plate. The octopus meat under coarse salt is thick and juicy, very delicious, soft yet tough, and a little spicy. The potatoes underneath are also very soft, as if they have absorbed the octopus.
The umami taste is the same.
The red peppers used in Spanish stuffed red peppers have a special sweet and spicy flavor, and the filling is pork. It looks like a red wine cup, full of gravy, and has a smoky flavor, which is very strange.
.
The croquettes are made of bechamel cream, with sturgeon meat inside, and a thin outer layer of crispy shell, which tastes very soft; while the fried croissants are made of chicken inside, with bell peppers added, which is a little sweet and a little spicy.
Nakamori Akina was busy with program production all afternoon, so she was naturally very hungry in the evening. The novel Spanish food was very spicy and appetizing, and she ate like a pig~
"Naoki-san, why are you looking at me strangely? Is there something on your face?" Noticing Nagayama Naoki's gaze, Akina thought she had sauce or something on her face, so she quickly wiped it with a napkin.
"No, seeing how satisfied Ming Nai was while eating, I was thinking that if this restaurant asked Ming Nai to endorse it, there would definitely be a lot of customers!"
Looking at Akina eating her rice with big mouthfuls, she still looked satisfied after eating it. It was comparable to the mukbang of later generations, and Naoki Nagayama's appetite was also whetted.
"Then I have to charge a large amount of endorsement fees!" The girl who worked for food was not embarrassed. Instead, she seemed to be thinking seriously, and then waved her knife and fork, "And then I will get a free bill for life! Even if you bring friends to dinner, you will get a free bill!"
"Hahaha, if Mingcai brings the big eater here for dinner every day, won't the restaurant suffer a huge loss~"
"How is that possible! I will control the frequency!"
The sweet and sour cold soup neutralized the spiciness of the previous dishes very well, and the two finally waited for the final main course - Spanish seafood risotto.
As soon as this dish was served, the aroma of seafood hit my nose, including shrimps, squid, mussels, green beans, and vegetables. It was like a seafood party.
The famous saffron brings a red, yellow, and yellow color and a light aroma, while the rice grains are distinct and slightly hard, but the seafood is cooked just right.
After coming out of the restaurant, the two of them got in the car and headed towards Musashinokan in Shinjuku.
After finishing dinner, Ming Cai had a slight blush on her fair face, maybe because of the spiciness or the fruit wine. The blush was like a natural blush.
"Akina~" Nagayama Naoki looked at the girl in the co-pilot and blurted out, but then he didn't know what to say.
"Nani?" The girl turned her head, her black and white eyes seemed to be able to speak,
"Are Akina a fan of Sayuri Yoshinaga?" Naoki Nagayama quickly came up with a topic, "Have you seen her movies before?"
"Of course!" Akina answered quickly, "Sayuri Yoshinaga is an excellent actor. I have also watched "The Dancing Girl of Izu", and she is also a very powerful singer!"..??m
"singer?"
"Don't you know, Naoki-san? The duet of Yoshinaga Sayuri-san and Hashi Yukio-san, "Eternal Dream", won the 4th Japan Record Award!"
Naoki Nagayama is a fake fan and doesn’t know much about Sayuri Yoshinaga: “The fourth edition? I wasn’t even born at that time!”
"Anyway, it's great!" Akina is very yearning for the Japan Record Awards, and she admires such an amphibious artist very much.
"In that case, is Sayuri Yoshinaga the direction Akina is working towards? Do you also want to develop into the film and television industry in the future?"
"That's not true. My dream is to be like Yamaguchi Momoe, fulfill her idol's dream, get married and retire!"
Maybe it was because she had drunk a little bit, but Akina, who was talking happily, accidentally told her dream. Then she suddenly realized that the person next to her was Naoki Nagayama. She suddenly became shy and her heartbeat began to accelerate.
Naoki-san, who told Naoki-san about getting married and retiring, wouldn't have misunderstood, right? What should I do if I misunderstood?
Naoki Nagayama didn't think much about it, and just chatted with each other: "Haha, I also want to make movies and TV series~ Isn't Yamaguchi Momoe also famous for her works like "Blood Doubt"~"
"Well" Akina took a sneak peek at Naoki who was driving, and found that there seemed to be nothing unusual about him. She felt a little reassured and a little annoyed at the same time.
"Isn't Naoki-san a great director? Then please ask Naoki-san to give me a role in the movie~"
"That's definitely no problem! If we make a movie then, let Akina be the heroine! Hahaha~"
Soon, we arrived at Musashinokan in Shinjuku.
This can be said to be one of the earliest independent cinemas in Tokyo. It was built in Taisho 6. The entrance is not particularly conspicuous. It is a small mini cinema.
After entering the door, I only saw a poster posted on the wall, but there were already greeters inside to receive the audience. I could see very familiar figures. It seemed that the main creative staff of "Snow" had already arrived, as well as reporters and other media
personnel.
In addition to industry insiders, most of the preview screenings were ordinary people watching the movie.
Naoki Nagayama took out two tickets and entered through the door with Akina Nakamori, but he did not take off his mask. If he was recognized as the latest winner of the Best Picture Award, wouldn't it be in the newspapers again tomorrow?
Of course Akina Nakamori didn't take off her mask. If she was recognized, it would be a scandal that would be in the newspapers tomorrow!
After sitting in the seat, I quietly waited for the movie to start.
"Snow" is adapted from the book of the same name written by Junichiro Tanizaki, directed by Kun Ichikawa and starring Keiko Kishi, Ryoko Sakuma, Sayuri Yoshinaga, Yuko Furukawa, etc. It tells the life and love story of four sisters from an old-style family in Osaka Shipyard.
The style of this movie is very different from the movies made by Naoki Nagayama. If the movies made by Naoki Nagayama win with creativity and trendiness, then this movie wins with delicacy and refinement.
From a pure perspective, the simple architecture, gorgeous kimonos, exquisite makeup of the heroines and the old-fashioned costumes of the male protagonists are all completely consistent with the historical background of the time.
Coupled with the framing, the first blooming cherry blossoms, the fiery red maple leaves, and the falling snow. If you have a computer, every scene can be used as a wallpaper.
Especially the scene of Sayuri Yoshinaga in the falling snow, Naoki Nagayama just wanted to capture it with a camera!
This movie, which lasts for more than two hours, has become more and more delicate and gentle in the narrative of the storyline, and the emotions of the sisters also appear restrained and restrained, allowing people to savor it carefully.
After watching the whole movie, it was like experiencing the lives of the four sisters in the movie, and I felt a little more enlightened.
"Akina, what's wrong?"
The movie was already announcing the curtain, and even though he was wearing a mask, Naoki Nagayama also saw a glint in Akina's eyes.
"Dumb tape" Akina wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, "It's just that the emotion between relatives and lovers is so touching."
This little girl's emotions seem to be a little too active. She actually cried after watching a movie? This is not a tragic movie.
This must be a kind of talent. No wonder tears will flow out every time I sing sad songs in the future!
Before Nagayama Naoki could comfort him, the lights in the screening room turned on, and the routine interviews after the preview began. Everyone else was waiting for the actor to show up. Naturally, the two of them would not get up and leave at this time.
Too conspicuous.
"Akina, Sayuri Yoshinaga is here!" Of course there are other actors, but none of them are familiar to Naoki Nagayama.
Seeing the creative staff on the stage lined up for photos, answering reporters' questions in a decent manner, and accepting media inquiries, Naoki Nagayama felt a little bored. There was nothing explosive about this interview~
He couldn't help but think of the time when he was being interviewed,
By the way, there seemed to be a very serious reporter at that time. Yes, it was from "Weekly Bunshun". His name was Shinnosuke Matsuzawa.
It seems you didn’t come today?
Matsuzawa Shinnosuke, who no longer works at Shukan Bunshun, is now a freelance writer.
He sneezed at his desk, but he didn't care. He wrote the manuscript in his hand seriously. There was a stack of photos next to him. This was a photo of a very familiar idol smoking in bed with his boyfriend.
"These celebrity idols are just ordinary people! As long as you wait carefully, you will be able to catch the moment when they fail!" Matsuzawa Shinnosuke smiled very evilly, like a hentai often seen in TV dramas under the dim light.
With that said, he took the manuscript in his hand, walked to the phone on the sofa, and started to contact someone.
However, placed on the information blackboard next to it, Nagayama Naoki's photos are still eye-catching, and the most recent one is from the award ceremony.
On the Toyota Century heading towards Nakano, Nakamori Akina, who opened the window to let in the night breeze, had completely recovered her mood.
He kept talking about the movie he was watching tonight: "Naoki-san, how long does it usually take you to shoot such a long movie?"
"Me?" Naoki Nagayama scratched his head, "I'm not sure. Sometimes a movie like this may take half a year to a year to be completed."
"Huh? Why?" Akina obviously didn't know why there was such a big gap.
Nagayama Naoki thought for a while: "Making a movie is actually a bit like recording a record. If the record producer is not satisfied, he will ask the singer to try again over and over again, right?"
"Hi!" Akina is very knowledgeable because she often sings it many times.
"The same goes for movie shooting. It mainly depends on the director's requirements. If the director's requirements are very high and the shooting effect is not satisfactory, then the shooting will have to be repeated."
"However, reshooting a movie is very troublesome. The film, scene, weather, light, and actor status all have to be coordinated. Sometimes, waiting for a time or scene may take a long time."
"Just like the scene in the movie where the snow is falling, natural snowfall is rare. Sometimes there may not be one for several days."
Akina Nakamori looked confused and seemed to understand, but she still nodded to express her approval of Naoki Nagayama's explanation.
Then she asked a lot of strange questions. It can be seen that Akina is still very curious about making movies. She might actually star in movies in the future~
When he was approaching Nakano Apartment, he passed by a convenience store not far from Akina's apartment. Naoki Nagayama felt something in his heart, stopped next to it, and then walked into the convenience store.
"Naoki-san, what's wrong? Stopped suddenly?" Akina also got out of the car.
"I suddenly want to eat ice cream~ Akina, do you want it?" Nagayama Naoki turned around and asked.
Eating ice cream during this season? But it’s already past 11pm, so it doesn’t seem impossible to have ice cream as a midnight snack!
"Yes~" How could the little girl resist the temptation of ice cream!
The two of them were leaning against the car and eating strawberry butter ice cream. It had a mellow milky aroma and a silky and thick texture. The sweet and sour strawberry offset the sweetness of the butter very well.
Nagayama Naoki finished eating quickly and felt his whole head cool down, while Akina next to him was still biting the ice cream in small bites, blowing on it from time to time because it was too cold. It was like a child.
Not sure if she noticed Nagayama Naoki's gaze, Akina looked over with a shy smile on her face.
Under the light of the convenience store, his round face is fairer, with a pair of big glasses on the bridge of his small nose, his eyes are like crescent moons, and the corners of his mouth are playfully raised, which is both cute and innocent.
Nagayama Naoki felt that his heartbeat seemed to slow down a beat, as if the softest corner was lightly touched. How great it would be if he could always accompany Akina like this.
Seeing Akina's eyes looking over, an impulse suddenly surged in her heart, and she unconsciously said:
"Actually, Akina, I'm happy."
"akina! Is it akina?!"
A sudden voice interrupted Naoki Nagayama's words. Several boys and girls who looked like students came from the direction of the convenience store. They seemed to have just returned from a trip.
"It's really Akina!" "Todoroki?" "Impossible!"
As he spoke, he began to slowly move towards the car.
These guys are actually fans of Akina Nakamori!
"Naoki-san! Hurry up."
Akina quietly opened the car door and got in. Nagayama Naoki reacted after being stunned for a moment, quickly got into the driver's seat, and started the car immediately.
Before several boys and girls arrived, he drove away quickly~
Almost being recognized by a wild fan made the two of them nervous. They didn't relax until they were sent to Nakano's small apartment.
"It's really dangerous!"
"Yeah, I almost got recognized!"
"Hahaha~"
Akina got out of the car, then remembered something, and looked at Naoki Nagayama out of the car window: "By the way, Naoki-san, do you want to say anything before?"
The atmosphere was gone and Naoki Nagayama's mood had settled down. The impulse in his heart had passed away. Looking at Akina outside the window, he had no choice but to find a reason:
"Ah, it's nothing. Aren't Akina going to Osaka tomorrow? I want you to rest early~"
"Hi, Arigado! Naoki-san, please go back early! Bye."
"Bye~"
After starting the car and seeing Akina turning around and entering the apartment in the rearview mirror, Nagayama Naoki felt a touch of melancholy and loss in his heart.
When I was writing more than half of today, I discovered that the Count Ogasawara's residence in Shinjuku was renovated into a Spanish restaurant only after 2000.
