418, Naoki Award, can I accept the award remotely?
When he suddenly learned that he was going to be famous internationally, Naoki Nagayama still had a headache. After explaining it to Wonta Nakai more than a dozen times but still couldn't explain it clearly, he gave up.
"Forget it, let's destroy it~"
Looking at the newspaper in front of him and its publication time, Naoki Nagayama was silent for a long time.
Finally, something seemed to come to mind, "Yuan Taisang, this newspaper should only be published in the United States, right?"
"Probably~" Wonta Nakai ate the fruit plate carelessly. At this time, he had no intention of sharing it with Naoki Nagayama. Scumbag, screw him!
Nagayama Naoki held a ten thousandth of hope in his eyes: "In that case, is there a possibility that Japan does not know about this report?"
This question stumped Nakai Yuan: "Well, the international editions of Japanese newspapers seem to really pay attention to international events."
"Naoki, your matter, even though it's a big deal, it actually doesn't have a big impact. It's just an entertainment sideshow."
Nagayama Naoki's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes! It's just a small scandal!"
However, Wonta Nakai's next words made Nagayama Naoki's heart stir again: "However, Naoki, the heroine of the scandal, seems to be an international star, and maybe some entertainment newspapers will pay attention to it~ Hahaha~
"
"." Naoki Nagayama clenched his fists as he looked at Nakai Wonta who looked like he didn't want to be beaten.
"Ahem, cough, cough~" Looking at Naoki Nagayama, who looked uncertain in front of him, Wonta Nakai stopped teasing him: "If Naoki-san is worried, why don't you just call back and ask."
"Anyway, the report has been out for almost a whole day. If Tokyo reacts, it should already know about it."
Nagayama Naoki nodded: "That's the truth!"
Borrowing the phone in the apartment, Nagayama Naoki called Yoshimura Otomo directly. After a "long" wait, the call was finally picked up.
"Moses Moses, this is the Tree Friends Movie."
"Otomo-san? I am Naoki Nagayama." Naoki Nagayama spoke calmly.
"Ah, Naoki-san, how are you? Is the Oscar over? Are you still in Los Angeles?" Apart from curiosity, there was nothing different in Otomo Yoshimura's tone. He was as passionately concerned about Naoki Nagayama's situation as before.
.
"The Oscars are over, and I'm currently in New York." Naoki Nagayama replied, "I'm temporarily staying at a friend's house."
"Yeah~ I went to New York again~ I had so much fun~"
Yoshimura Otomo casually complained, but Nagayama Naoki seemed to be hinting at something, but he couldn't be sure, so he started to make insinuations.
"Otomo-san, it's really a pity that you didn't win the Oscar this time~"
"Yeah~ But that's also to be expected. Let's try harder next time!" His tone was calm and he didn't seem too disappointed.
"Otomo-san, a lot of interesting things happened at the Oscars ceremony~"
"Oh? What's wrong?" Fangcun Otomo became a little interested.
"There was a celebrity who went to a nightclub and was secretly photographed by the paparazzi~"
"Hahaha, this is so careless~ Do I know which guy it is?" Yoshimura Otomo said with a smile, "Don't you know that when the Oscars are presented, the paparazzi are at their most violent?"
"She's a female star. Her name is Natasha Kinski. Have you heard of it, Otomo-san?" Nagayama Naoki was already getting nervous, but his tone still pretended that nothing happened.
"Well, I seem to have heard of it." Yoshimura Otomo seemed to be asking Itou Shuichi, "Shuichi-san, do you know Natasha Kinski?"
A small voice was heard on the microphone: "It should be the German actress who played "Tess"."
"Ah, I remembered, I've heard of her name." Otomo Yoshimura said, "It's actually her~"
Then he added: "But this is normal, isn't it? European and American celebrities are very open-minded!"
Yoshimura Otomo, where do you get this stereotype from?!! As a senior agent, can you use an objective attitude to judge the American entertainment industry!!!
Although he despised Yoshimura Otomo's narrow-mindedness in his heart, Nagayama Naoki breathed a sigh of relief and followed his tone: "Hahaha, Otomo-san is right~"
"Haha, by the way, Naoki-san called to give you any instructions?"
"Just to report that you are safe~" Nagayama Naoki changed the subject without leaving a trace, "Didn't Shuichi-san go to the set today?"
Itou Shuichi's voice came from the microphone: "Naoki-san, while you were traveling abroad, we had already filmed the second episode! We are about to edit it now!"
"I see!"
What followed was normal pleasantries. After Nagayama Naoki chatted for a few words, he finally put down the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.
He sat on the sofa and looked at Wonta Nakai next to him: "Fortunately, Tokyo doesn't know about this yet!"
Wonta Nakai, who had already finished a plate of sliced cantaloupe, looked at Naoki Nagayama speechlessly:.??m
"Naoki. You just spent so much nonsense just to come to such a simple conclusion?"
"Uh, yeah" Naoki Nagayama
Wonta Nakai was even more puzzled: "Wouldn't you just ask, 'Otomo-san, has the scandal about me in Los Angeles spread to Tokyo'?!!!"
"How is this possible?!" Naoki Nagayama said, "If they don't know yet, wouldn't this be exposed?!"
Nakai Wonta was speechless: "Then you can just ask the newspaper if there is anything important about you?"
How can "this" be so simple as to show one's caution, how to show one's wits and courage? Nagayama Naoki tried hard to explain, "I have adopted the method of building a plank road in the open and crossing Chencang secretly! Unknowingly,
Get the information you want! This is the technology of words!”
"I think you're just looking for trouble!" Nakai Wonta decided not to listen to Nagayama Naoki's bastard chanting. He stood up directly and threw the empty fruit plate into the pool.
"Okay, let's go out to eat tonight!"
".Okay~"
Naoki Nagayama, who has only stayed in New York for a day or two, is certainly not as familiar with nearby restaurants as Won Nakai, who has been in New York for more than half a month.
Although high-end Western restaurants are delicious, they are similar to other places in the world. The truly local delicacies are found in small restaurants hidden in nearby streets, so you need to have a searching heart.
Wonta Nakai took Naoki Nagayama to an ordinary Western restaurant, and then ordered a special roast beef.
A whole large piece of beef shoulder is grilled by the chef, sprinkled with spices, sliced, and served with lemon and garnishing fruits.
Beef shoulder, also known as Paula meat, is the meat from the front shoulder blade of the beef. Due to the constant movement of the muscles, the meat here contains more interstitial fat. The meat is tight and very elastic. Under the grilling of the flame, the whole plate of beef will
The shoulder meat exudes the aroma of fat and spices. A large piece of barbecue is stuffed into the mouth, full of the aroma of beef. After drizzling a little lemon juice, the sour taste neutralizes the greasiness of the gravy, which further arouses the appetite.
For carnivores, eating beef in big mouthfuls is the best enjoyment. Nagayama Naoki's dinner was very satisfying.
But what is unexpected is that when he was going to have a drink after eating, Wonta Nakai didn't know much about the nearby bars.
"Hon Douni? Wontae-san hasn't had a drink since arriving in the United States?" Wontae Nakai is almost considered an alcoholic, but his drinking capacity is too light and he gets drunk as soon as he drinks~
"Yeah, on the one hand, it's because there are no acquaintances. American colleagues don't celebrate and have a drink with their colleagues after get off work. Most of them go directly home to relax with their friends." Nakai Wonta explained the reason, "On the other hand, , aren’t you speculating in stocks? I’m afraid that I’ll reveal some inside information when I’m drunk.”
After all, we are in Manhattan, USA. What if the Wall Street elites passing by hear this and put themselves in jail?
"Yuan Taisang, you are such a reliable person!"
Nagayama Naoki patted him on the shoulder and told him to stop drinking. It was a huge challenge.
"But since I'm with you, don't worry." Nagayama Naoki said, "Besides, this operation will be over in two days, so just drink a little~"
It had been some time since IBM's stock reached its peak of $132. After Wonta Nakai went short, it had fallen to around $122.
I have almost doubled my profit, it’s time to get out!
"Okay! Then drink a little!" Nakai Wonta nodded. He was indeed under a lot of pressure during this period and needed to relax!
"Okay, since you don't know, I'll take you to a bar I've been to before!"
Naoki Nagayama took a taxi directly to Tribeca in Manhattan, New York, the bar where Madonna had previously stayed.
"Maybe you can meet someone you know~haha"
I just don’t know if Madonna or Basquiat will remember him as a “friend for a day”.
This is to make up for yesterday's short chapter. There is another one I'm writing, but I think I'll post it tomorrow morning~ I've been quite busy these two days moving to an office~
