For celebrities, it is impossible to truly relax as long as there is a camera nearby.
Only when you have fun without work pressure can you truly be happy. That’s what Akina Nakamori is talking about now.
Accompanied by Naoki Nagayama and Maki Ueda, they can still smile happily in the streets of a foreign country like Paris.
And what’s surprising is that even though you can’t speak French and can only understand English vaguely, you can still enjoy yourself in the famous brand stores on both sides of the street... Maybe this is every girl’s hidden skill?
"Naoki-san, come on, try this!"
At some point, Naoki Nagayama turned into a clothes hanger, and the two girls started discussing how to dress Naoki Nagayama up...
At this time, the "hanger" was really helpless: "Akina-chan... shouldn't you buy your own clothes? Why do you want to try them on for me..."
"Because the clothes here are too expensive!" Akina Nakamori said confidently, "And I have no money!"
Didn’t the salary increase? Nagayama Naoki secretly complained in his heart.
However, what Akina said now is not false. After coming out, the team basically paid. She did not change francs herself, and she had no change on her.
So now when I go shopping, I really just enjoy the fun of shopping.
As a result, Nagayama Naoki bought a lot of very trendy clothes...
"Actually...I don't need so many clothes..." Naoki Nagayama was a little speechless, "Burberry will give me customized clothes for that season every quarter..."
"Eh? Is it so convenient to be a spokesperson?" Ueda Maki said with envy, "Every quarter?"
"At least this year..."
"Although big-name clothes are very good, they lack their own personality!" Akina said, not caring much, "If you can't match them, you won't be able to wear your own style!"
As expected, he is a personality idol who will use Hermès scarves to make clothes in the future. He has always had his own unique ideas about the definition of beauty!
"So, does Akina dress herself now?" Nagayama Naoki was surprised. He took a few steps back and looked up and down at Akina Nakamori's clothes today.
The khaki small suit is paired with a fluffy knee-length skirt, which is sassy and lazy. The most eye-catching thing is the light gray wide tie on the white shirt, which brings a bit of unique girlishness to the original formal outfit.
Heart.
Speaking of which, Akina seems to do her own daily dressing and rarely uses a stylist.
Although she was a little shy, Akina still turned around slightly.
"How about it, match it with your own personality! This is something you can't buy in a clothing store!"
"Having said that...but buying all the clothes for myself is a bit excessive..."
Nagayama Naoki held his hands full of bags, smiled helplessly, and then said to the two girls next to him,
"Thanks to Akina-chan and Maki-chan for today, let me give you a gift too!"
"?Gift?"
"Yes~" Nagayama Naoki is now considered very rich, "You can choose an outfit you like and consider it as a thank you gift~"
"Eh? Why are you so embarrassed..."
Although the two girls refused, their bodies were already walking towards the women's clothing store uncontrollably~
........
Although I still want to have a meal in the evening, neither Akina nor the assistant can do it without leaving all the other team members~
So after making an appointment to go to the Eiffel Tower together tomorrow, Naoki Nagayama sent the two of them back to the hotel.
"Naoki-san, see you tomorrow~" Akina waved her hand playfully.
After watching the two girls carrying clothing bags enter the hotel, Naoki Nagayama walked towards his destination.
I threw all the clothes I bought on the sofa and felt relaxed. I don’t know why. Although the clothes are not heavy, I still feel like I am carrying a lot~
The service at the Ritz Hotel is very attentive. In addition to delicious dinners, there are also dance parties from time to time in the hotel's Vendôme restaurant. However, an oriental face has few acquaintances here, so Naoki Nagayama can only simply enjoy the excitement.
It's just the atmosphere.
Looking at the romantic couple dancing on the dance floor and the French people chatting at the dining table, Nagayama Naoki only thought they were noisy.
The old bar in the hotel has a special name, called Hemingway Bar, which is dedicated to commemorating this legendary writer. His seat is specially reserved in the bar, and his photos are displayed in that corner.
At this time, most people went to the dance party, and there were only a few people who really liked drinking chatting in the tavern.
Nagayama Naoki sat on the empty seat in front of the bar, preparing to have a drink and then go back to the room to rest.
"Bonsoir~" The bartender was not too surprised when he saw Asians. The Ritz Hotel welcomes people from all over the world, and he skillfully changed the language into English. "How can I serve you?"
Really wanting to talk, the young white man next to him who was drinking heavily laughed directly with his girlfriend next to him: "I bet this Asian guy will definitely order a dry martini! He just looked at Hemingway's photo for a long time!"
"These guys who come here because of fame like to show off and want to experience the hobbies of literary giants!"
The girlfriend next to me seemed to be attracted too, and began to look forward to this sudden little joke: "Then let's bet, the loser will not be able to sleep in the bed today... today!"
The conversation between the two was not loud, but everyone in the quiet bar heard it, and more or less attention was transferred to Naoki Nagayama.
Nagayama Naoki was a little speechless. Forget the little fun between you two, why are you still hooking up with me?
Although I feel a little uncomfortable being treated as a bet, if I insist on not ordering a dry martini at this time and just order other drinks, it seems to be showing weakness...
In European and American culture, it is equivalent to admitting defeat~
"Sir?" The bartender saw that Naoki Nagayama didn't order a drink and asked again, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
Don’t lose your momentum!
Naoki Nagayama's mind immediately popped up with the most awesome scene of ordering a drink, 007's Vesper Martini...
"A glass of martini." Naoki Nagayama said to the bartender, "a glass of martini, three parts of Gordon's gin, one part of vodka, half a part of Ginari, add ice and shake until your hands are cold, and finally add a slice
lemon peel!
have you understood?"
The bartender seemed to be shaken by such a novel request. I have never heard of this special cocktail! Is there a new recipe?
"Do you need me to repeat it?" Nagayama Naoki's face was gentle.
"No...please wait a moment." The bartender quickly started to prepare~
This guy... the way he orders drinks is a bit cool! The group of couples were also a little confused for a moment. Does this count as ordering a dry martini?
After the vesper martini was presented, Naoki Nagayama took a sip. The cold and dense wine flowed down his throat and into his stomach. Only the fragrant aroma of herbs was left in his mouth, and then there was a warm feeling in his stomach.
.
This 007 cocktail is a real strong drink, and it must be drank within a few sips, otherwise the original flavor of the wine will be lost.
So Nagayama Naoki had to bear the bitter consequences of pretending to be cool. After a few sips, he felt so drunk. In addition, he drank a lot at noon, and he felt like he could rush out and fight with others!
After hastily putting down a large franc, Naoki Nagayama quickened his pace slightly and headed to his room.
The couple who were still drinking in the bar seemed to be still arguing about whether the bet should be fulfilled or not. In the end, the man gave up, but he said to the bartender:
"Since I've lost, give me a martini like that just now!"
.......
After a good night's sleep, the morning sunshine in Paris woke Naoki Nagayama up from the big bed in the hotel.
I originally thought I would have a bit of a hangover, but when I woke up early in the morning, I felt very awake and didn't have a headache at all.
When I looked up, I saw that it was already 7 o'clock in the morning. My appointment with Akina and the others was at 9 o'clock. There was still a lot of time, so I could take my time and there was no need to rush.
However, after washing up, Nagayama Naoki remembered something. It seemed to be the fourth day since he left Tokyo, and he had not contacted there yet.
If it's 7 o'clock in the morning, it seems to be noon in Tokyo. It's just the right time!
Nagayama Naoki borrowed the hotel's phone and made an international long distance call directly to the studio phone.
"Moses, Moses, this is Shuyou Pictures." Fangcun Otomo's voice is very easy to recognize.
"Otomo-san, I am Naoki Nagayama!" Naoki Nagayama directly used a very oriental greeting method, "How are you, have you had lunch?"
"..." Otomo Fangcun was speechless, "I've eaten..."
"Naoki-san, you are in Paris now, right?"
"Yes, it's inside the Ritz Hotel." Naoki Nagayama said, "But I might be heading to Rome tomorrow!"
"So anxious? Can you visit Paris in two days?" Yoshimura Otomo felt that this was not Nagayama Naoki's style. When he went to Hawaii before, it took a whole month.
"Aren't you in a hurry to come back~" He lied without blushing and his heart stopped beating. Naoki Nagayama then asked, "Where is Shuichi-san... the tape?"
"Hmph..." Otomo Yoshimura sneered, "Naoki-san, you just need to know that Suzuran High School in Nagano has been dominated by Shuichi Yoto! When you come back, you will face the entire Suzuran
power!"
Nagayama Naoki shed a drop of sweat on his temples: "Is it so exaggerated?"
"Hehehe... Who told you to suddenly abandon Shuichi-san?"
After Yoshimura Otomo gloated for a while, he remembered something and quickly said to Nagayama Naoki,
"By the way, Naoki-san, editor Morikawa from Shogakukan called me the day before yesterday. He said that the results of the Naoki Award were out and he wanted to discuss the award ceremony with you."
"It's really amazing, Naoki-san, Naoki-san!"
At this time, Naoki Nagayama felt a little embarrassed. He completely forgot to promise Editor Morikawa that he would attend the award ceremony!
Fangcun Dayou is still asking: "Naoki-san, do you want to come back to participate?"
"This...hey, I'll call Editor Morikawa later to explain!"
Naoki Nagayama said helplessly, and then chatted with Otomo Yoshimura about the recent progress of the company, especially the progress of Yutaka Ozaki, which he needed to pay attention to.
"I have already transferred the funds for the concert to Rebellion's account. If there is no problem, I will execute it as soon as possible!"
"Naoki-san, why don't you confirm the plan?"
"Of course there will be professional companies to help with things like organizing concerts, and I'm not as professional as them." Naoki Nagayama is very clear about the boundaries of his abilities, "Besides, there's Otomo-san to help with things like that!"
"Even if you praise me so much..." Otomo Yoshimura was arrogant.
"Haha, that's it~ I will call here when I get to Rome~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "I'm going to call Shogakukan~"
.......
Nagayama Naoki didn't contact many people, so he naturally kept Shogakukan's phone number in his mind.
"Moses Moses, this is the elementary school!" came the voice of the bespectacled girl Reiki Nozawa from the microphone.
"Reiki-chan, I am Naoki Nagayama."
"Ah, Naoki-san! Congratulations on winning the Naoki Prize!" Reiki Nozawa was very excited, "Your name has filled the Shogakukan office recently!"
"Haha, Arigado. I am lucky to win the award." Nagayama Naoki thanked him, "Is Bunji-san here? I just want to discuss this matter with him this time!"
"Hi, he's here, please wait!"
The call was quickly transferred to Kuniji Morikawa's desk: "Naoki-san?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It's me, Bangzhisang, I'm sorry, I've been abroad during this period, and I just found out that you are looking for me..."
Didn’t I say before that I would be in Tokyo during this period? These writers are really willful!
However, Morikawa Kunji already has experience with these unique writers, and at this time he could only say calmly:
"Ah, there's nothing I can do about it since I went abroad... But Naoki-san, can you come back to attend the Naoki Prize award ceremony?"
"When was it?"
"The specific time has not been determined, but according to the time in previous years, it should be in mid-August." Kuniji Morikawa recalled, "usually it will be together with the Akutagawa Shopping Festival."
"Is it the middle of the year?" It's already the end of July. If we go to the middle of August... we have to go to Rome and Geneva, Switzerland, so time is a bit tight.
"At that time, I don't know if I can come back in time..." Nagayama Naoki's tone was apologetic, because he had promised before.
"Well...then we have to find someone to collect it on our behalf." Kuniji Morikawa said helplessly, "It's just a pity that this is a major event in the literary world...no winner actually showed up...
..Everyone in the literary world will be disappointed.”
There was no Naoki Prize last year. If the recipients do not participate this time, it will actually weaken the status of the Naoki Prize in people's hearts.
Nagayama Naoki's eyes wandered in embarrassment, but suddenly he saw the hotel TV, and an idea suddenly came to his mind: "Arnold, Kuniji-san, it's actually not impossible for me to show up..."
"Um?"
"With the development of modern science and technology, haven't we already made it possible to connect live broadcasts? Can Bunji-san and Naoki Rewards receive their awards remotely?"
Nagayama Naoki became more fluent as he spoke,
"My book actually describes a future world full of technology. If this method is used at the award ceremony, it should be in line with my own book!"
Editor Morikawa here is not interested in anything that fits the book. What he thinks is that if the award ceremony has such novel news highlights, then the media coverage will definitely increase!
"Well... this needs to be discussed with the review committee."
"Hey, of course. If it doesn't work, then ask Bunji-san to help you get it!" Nagayama Naoki actually thinks that this proposal will most likely be passed. After all, in this era, the Japanese are already very interested in live broadcasting.
I can accept it,
"Sorry for bothering Bunji-san!"
...
Two consecutive phone calls in the early morning made Nagayama Naoki's stomach rumble with hunger. While having breakfast in the restaurant, he suddenly thought of something. If the live broadcast was connected, what should he do here?
?I don’t know at all!
It wasn't until he was on the way to the Eiffel Tower that he remembered that Akina Nakamori brought over many technicians who were very proficient in shooting equipment, such as the fat Yuta Kuroki!
