In the afternoon, the entire crew had gathered in a small underground bar.
In order to reflect the liveliness of the bar, Shuichi Itou also invited many local young people to perform as group performers.
Mieko Harada, who came to the set for the first time, took her agent's car and went directly to the bar. As soon as she entered, she found that there was already music in the bar and people were dancing.
"Naoki-san, has it started yet?" Mieko Harada found Naoki Nagayama, who was serving as the bartender, "Am I late?"
"No~ you came just in time!"
Naoki Nagayama smiled. The camera had actually been set up, the band was warming up, and everyone on the crew was now in a very relaxed atmosphere.
"Mieko-san, would you like a drink? I'm also good at bartending~" Naoki Nagayama fiddled with the drinking utensils in his hand.
"Hey, please bring me a cup of Long Island ice tea~"
"Yoshi! It'll be ready soon!"
Nagayama Naoki called Itou Shuichi over while mixing drinks. He was mainly directing the afternoon scene, and he was just a friendly role as a bartender~
After the actors were in place, a cool scene soon unfolded~
Mieko Harada didn't even rehearse, she walked directly to the stage where the performance was taking place and stood in front of several people to lead the dance.
Looking at his skilled posture, he must have gone to discotheques and the like in private!
Under the strong rhythm, the entire underground bar was like a pot of gasoline poured on it, and the atmosphere was instantly explosive.
There are only a few photographers left who are still focusing on filming.
"Mitsuyuki Sanada, don't get excited! You have to perform differently from everyone else!" Komori Masataka yelled next to the camera, "Among a group of ordinary people, you are the only one who is special!"
"Hi!"
Hiroyuki Sanada, who plays Takiya Genji, immediately calmed down his expression, raised his collar, and made a cold expression.
Well, the boss’s sense of atmosphere is just right!
A few scenes were shot in such a warm atmosphere, especially Mieko Harada's passionate dance, which made the crew, with many men and few women, howl like wolves.
And on this afternoon, Itou Shuichi had no intention of restraining everyone.
Having filmed the movie at the foot of a mountain far away from Tokyo for such a long time, and with scenes containing a lot of violence, this group of young people have more or less accumulated some anger.
If they stay tight all the time, although it fits the atmosphere of "Hot Blood High School", maybe one day a spark will ignite these guys.
It just so happens that this bar can be used as a place to relax.
It wasn’t until evening that the bar gradually “closed”~
.......
Even after drinking, Naoki Nagayama didn't want to stay overnight in Nagano, so he found a taxi and paid a lot of money to take himself back to Yamazakura-in in Chiyoda.
The surrounding circle of bamboo forest hides the main body of the dark brown building of Yamazakura Garden from people's sight; the faint light yellow landscape lights illuminate the cherry blossom trees in the courtyard in a psychedelic and tough way.
After Naoki Nagayama opened the front door, he received a warm welcome from Taro Taro.
"Yingtaro, have you been good at home today? Did you chew on the furniture?"
He scratched the big dog's ears and made Taro show a comfortable expression.
After walking through the door, Nagayama Naoki turned on the air conditioner and went straight to take a shower. When he returned to the living room feeling refreshed, the cool breeze had already made the living room cool and pleasant.
At this time, you won’t feel hot if you hold Meowtaro in your arms~
"Nyaotarou, did you grab Yongtaro's dog food today?" He touched Daju's abdomen with his hand, but fortunately he didn't feel that he was overeating.
However, Nyaotaro's expression still looked a little unhappy, and he used his paws to resist the harassment of the poop scraper from time to time. Nyaotaro, on the other hand, was leaning against Naoki Nagayama's legs, playing with his little yellow duck toy.
There are various programs on TV. It’s prime time and new TV series are already being serialized~
The craze of "Boys Over Flowers" and "Cat Eyes" has passed. Naoki Nagayama can still see some discussions in tabloids, and he also knows that young people will always discuss some plots, but the popularity has cooled down significantly since the broadcast.
Already.
The entertainment world is such a cruel and realistic situation. As long as there is no exposure, no matter what achievements you have made in the past, they will gradually become ordinary.
However, in the literary circle, "Love in the Sky" is setting off a wave of craze.
Whether it was the twists and turns of emotions between men and women on campus, or the fantastic and interesting imagination of the future world, they all firmly attracted the attention of the students.
Even adults have fallen in love with the world view of "Koisora". Even newspapers such as "Nihon Keizai Shimbun" will discuss the so-called mobile phones, Internet, website forums, etc. in "Koisora" in a column.
wait,
However, after analysis by some experts, they believe that this is just the author's imagination, and it is completely impossible to realize it.
Naoki Nagayama doesn’t blame them either. After all, in this era, even BB machines are not yet popular~
Just as Nagayama Naoki was petting the cat and playing with the dog, the phone next to him suddenly rang:
"Dingling bell~"
Eh?
Now that I have a girlfriend, phone calls every night are indispensable. I made an appointment last night and will call Akina when she gets home.
However, it's only around 9 o'clock, isn't it time for Akina to go home?
"Moses Moses, this is Yamazakura-in~" Naoki Nagayama answered the phone.
"Naoki-san, this is Kuniji Morikawa!" the Shogakukan editor's voice came from the microphone.
Nagayama Naoki was a little surprised: "Kuniji-san, why are you so late and are you still working overtime?"
"Hi~ I'm processing some letters from fans~" Kuniji Morikawa smiled, "Hahaha, Naoki-san, there are a lot of letters from you in my office right now!"
"Oh? Is it all about "Love in the Sky"?" Naoki Nagayama felt relieved.
"Yeah~"
Kuniji Morikawa, who was still in the Shogakukan office, took out all the fan letters from the authors under his name one by one from a big bag, and then put the ones belonging to Naoki Nagayama into a cardboard box.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! You can clearly see the cardboard box Naoki Nagayama contains. The letters inside are several times that of others.
"Huh?" Kuniji Morikawa touched a letter and felt something was wrong in his hand. Then he lifted it up and looked through the light. He saw a long and thin iron piece sandwiched in the envelope...
"Naoki-san~ Sure enough, someone sent you a blade!" He casually placed it in another special cardboard box~
"Um..." Although he had expected it, Naoki Nagayama still felt a little surprised when he was actually told that he had received the blade.
"My current mood is inexplicably complicated~"
Kunji Morikawa laughed: "Naoki-san, don't worry, there are many novel writers who have received strange fan letters, especially those who like to write tragedies~ It's not like I haven't seen it before! It won't happen."
Door-to-door duel or something~"
"After listening to Kunji-san's words... I was not comforted at all~" Nagayama Naoki complained~
"Hahaha, anyway, Naoki-san has accumulated a whole cardboard box of fan letters. Do you still want to take them back this time? Or should we help you handle them?"
Kuniji Morikawa looked at three boxes of letters. In addition to "Love in the Sky", there were also those from "The Garden of Summer" and "Love Letters".
"There are also gifts that have been packaged. They are all well preserved~"
"Let me pick it up tomorrow~" Nagayama Naoki said, he would go to the set later tomorrow.
The house I have in Bunkyo Ward is just for storing fan mail~
"Hi~" After Morikawa Kunji agreed, he continued,
"By the way, Naoki-san, I submitted your copy of "Love in the Sky"!"
"What's in the report?" Nagayama Naoki was a little confused.
Kuniji Morikawa said proudly: "Naoki Award!"
Last year's "Love Letter" was not awarded the Naoki Prize and the Akutagawa Prize due to various reasons. Morikawa Kuniji felt a little sorry for Naoki Nagayama.
"Although there were some twists and turns, Naoki-san's work was still presented to the judges' table!"
Naoki Nagayama's "Love in the Sky" was actually published a little late, but Kuniji Morikawa started preparations when he received the manuscript. After using some connections, he sent the work to the selection list. Now it has been confirmed
, only then did he have the confidence to speak out to Naoki Nagayama.
"Naoki-san is currently in the second round of selection! I believe Naoki-san's "Love in the Sky" must be the best among popular novels this year!"
"That's it~" Naoki Nagayama quickly thanked him, "Thank you so much Kuniji-san~"
"This is what I should do!" Kuniji Morikawa said, "If such good books are buried, it will be a loss to the literary world!"
Deep down in his heart, this senior editor of Shogakukan has a sincere heart for literature!
.......
After continuing to chat with Kuniji Morikawa about the sales and printing situation of "Koisora" for a while, Naoki Nagayama thanked him again and again before hanging up the phone.
Suddenly knowing that he might win the Naoki Prize, he had no real feeling at all.
Although I don’t plan to invest a lot of energy in the field of literature, if I can win this award, it seems to be a huge improvement for my social status in Japan.
After hanging up the phone, Nagayama Naoki quickly put the matter behind him, quite unconcerned about fame.
Continuing to watch the idiot variety show on TV, the clumsy guest was being tricked by the host, which aroused bursts of applause from the scene...
But as he watched, Nagayama Naoki suddenly remembered something,
"It seems that I wanted to talk to Akimoto Yasushi about the new variety show before~ By the way, I don't know how the chat between Otomo-san and Kikudi Etsurou went..."
After thinking wildly for a while, I was woken up by the phone call.
"Naoki-san!" This time it was my girlfriend's voice~
"Akina!"
Naoki Nagayama threw Meowtaro to the other side, causing the guy to meow, perhaps muttering that he had forgotten his duty due to sex~
"It's a little early to come back today~" Ren
"Hi, I went to the training class today, because the teacher thought the rehearsal was very effective, so it ended early! Also this afternoon, while filming, Maki-chan was saying that she saw the fireworks last night...
..."
After accumulating longing for the whole day, Akina happily shared what happened during the day with Nagayama Naoki, and then asked coquettishly,
"Have Naoki-san thought of me?"
"Of course!!!" How can you say anything else at this time?
"When I opened my eyes in the morning, I thought once, Akina should have gone out~"
"I thought about it again during the morning guidance and thought Akina would laugh when she saw the ridiculous gangster~"
"When I saw the singer as an extra in the afternoon, I thought about what it would be like if Akina performed on top..." Ren
Listening to Naoki Nagayama talking about his thoughts, Akina Nakamori in the apartment was lying on the bed and listening quietly~
Every gentle word Naoki-san said was like hitting his heart, making his whole chest tremble a little, and even his breathing became a little short!
I felt like I was drunk, but I couldn't put down the glass of wine.
"How cunning~" Akina's voice came out, "Now that Naoki-san has memorized everything? I've obviously thought about it many times~"
"I know~" Nagayama Naoki returned gently, "Every time I think of Akina, I know that Akina must have thought of me at that time~"
"No!"
Xiao Mingcai replied stiffly, "Ren
I didn’t think about whether Naoki-san was still sleeping when I went out in the morning, nor did I think about Naoki-san when I was participating in the program in the morning.
Not to mention that when I was chatting with Ueda Maki, I always thought about telling Naoki-san~
"Hang Douni? Then I will be sad~"
Nakamori Akina, who had no relationship experience, didn't know how to react for a moment, so she could only forcefully change the topic:
"Is Naoki-san busy lately?"
"Well, I'm filming "Hot Blood High School"~"
"Then... Naoki-san, are you free tomorrow morning?" Ren
Akina bit her lip. She would have a rare rest tomorrow morning. She really wanted to see Naoki-san in person!
tomorrow morning?
I plan to go to the set after moving all the fan mail to Bunkyo Ward.
However, it doesn’t seem to matter if you don’t go in the morning?
...It must be nothing!!!
Xiu Yisang is so reliable!
"Hi, of course you're free tomorrow morning!" Nagayama Naoki, who noticed his little girlfriend's thoughts, answered firmly, giving Akina enough face, "Are Akina free this morning? I really want to meet my idol~"
"Hmm~ Since Naoki-san said so..." Deyi's mischievous tone came, "Then give Naoki-san a chance to meet your idol!"
Haha~
.......
Now that the date has been set, the schedule is naturally indispensable. Nagayama Naoki directly mentioned that he would stop by in the morning to pick up letters from fans,
"I'll pick you up when I get the letter along the way!"
"Eh? Naoki-san, do you also have fan letters? Are you a fan of "Koisora"?"
"Yeah~ I heard that the letter was very strange~ There are also some gifts and so on~" Nagayama Naoki covered up the word "blade".
"What are Naoki-san going to do with these letters?"
Nakamori Akina's curiosity was aroused. She usually receives letters from fans and some souvenirs, but most of them are handled by the office, and only a few of them get into her hands.
"I have an apartment in Bunkyo Ward... I call it a 'letter storage box' and put all the fan letters there~" Naoki Nagayama shared his method with his little girlfriend, "Since
It’s the fans’ wishes, which should always be well preserved!”
"Eh?"
This method was beyond Akina's expectation, "I really want to see what Naoki-san's 'mail storage box' looks like..."
"Haha, since Akina wants to see it, let's go see it in the morning~ Akina can help me open the letter~"
"Yeah!"
Of course, this is not a problem. Opening fan letters with my little girlfriend seems to be a good meeting activity!
As for the blade, that's fine...
I just hope those fans won’t send any weird gifts...
