457, Explosive Reaction, Become the Overlord of Suzuli!
...
As we enter mid-September, the temperature in Tokyo is getting milder. The daytime temperature is around 25 degrees Celsius. You can go out wearing a short shirt, and it won’t be too hot if you put on a coat. However, you need to cover yourself with a thin quilt at night.
As the hot summer sun departs, the green plants in the city become even greener, and the deep green leaves intercept every ray of summer light, as if they are beginning to prepare for the autumn harvest.
Under the green shade, young people gathered in twos and threes to discuss the different troubles and joys in life. But this time, their conversations had a common topic - "Hot Blooded College"!
"If I go to Suzuran, I will definitely dominate Suzuran!"
A strong young man said this, but his companions laughed at him.
"Shouta, you will be knocked down by Serizawa's fist! Just like that second grader who doesn't overestimate his abilities!"
The young man known as Shuangtai's face froze: "Oishi! You guy, do you want to try the strange power that can dominate Suzuran?"
As he said this, several students started playing in the shade of the tree, making the onlookers laugh non-stop.
During recess, after school, after get off work, on holidays...whenever gathering with friends, the young people seemed to be talking about a high school called Suzuran, about Takizawa Genji and Seri The story of Sawa Tamao's struggle for hegemony.
It has become a trend for high school students to wear uniforms casually, and even teachers can't make them wear their uniforms properly.
From time to time, guys in the second grade will shout on the street:
"I am the man who wants to be the overlord of Suzuli!
"
Even older college students are discussing the characters in "Hot Blood" with their classmates very enthusiastically, and even pulling their friends to watch the movie for the second or third time.
There are suddenly more and more images of high school students in uniforms on TV variety shows. Talk shows are also discussing the popularity of "Hot Blood High School" and are discussing with great interest whether such a school really exists in reality.
Johnny's youth team, Shibu Persimmon Team and Tahara Toshihiko, were asked relevant questions in all announcements because they directly participated in the show.
Only a few days after its release, this movie has already spread by word of mouth among people, making people who haven't seen it want to go to the cinema to check it out.
........
"Preliminarily...successful!"
In the office of the studio, Yoshimura Otomo looked at the newspaper reports and said to Shuichi Indou, once the movie "Hot Blood High School" was released, its explosive response swept across all theaters in Japan, dwarfing all other movies of the same period.
.
Major newspapers and magazines also commented on all aspects of the movie, whether it was casting, plot, or filming. Under the pen of penetrating reporters, everything was clearly exposed.
Yun Tang Shuichi was also reading a newspaper: "Ah, yes, it's less than a week after its release, and the estimated box office has already exceeded 200 million. When word of mouth spreads, there should be no problem with the box office reaching 500 million in the first week."
"What a brilliant result. I wonder how many awards we can win in this year's film competition..."
Yoshimura Otomo is already thinking about the Blue Ribbon Awards and the Film Academy Awards at the end of the year.
"Don't be too happy too early. According to Naoki-san's prediction, criticism of "Hot Blood High School" will come out soon." Yin Tangxiu looked at Yoshimura Otomo, "Have the relevant media already said hello?"
"Hey, all the media we have good relations with have already sent gifts, and other media have also agreed that if they want to report negative stories, they will inform you in advance." Yoshimura Otomo said, "With the cooperation of Kadokawa Haruki-san, several magazines have also
I’m so angry.”
"I feel like the preparations are not perfect." Shuichi Yin Tang said, "By the way, where did Naoki-san go?"
Yoshimura Otomo smiled: "Naoki-san probably went to participate in a promotion event in Kyoto today, and then it seems that he will have to hold a groundbreaking ceremony for the garden."
"Huh? At such an important moment, you actually went to attend the groundbreaking ceremony?"
Yin Tangxiu said he was disgusted, but after hearing that Nagayama Naoki was still so calm, his mood calmed down a lot.
After putting down the newspaper, Yin Tang Shuichi also prepared to walk out.
"Shuichi-san? What are you going to do?"
"If that guy Nagayama Naoki doesn't care, then we poor people like us will have to worry more." Yin Tangxiu waved his hand, "I'm going to find my classmates in the media industry and see if I can say more good things."
.......
Naoki Nagayama, who was slandered by Shuichi Yoto and Otomo Yoshimura, was already in Kyoto at this time.
In a cinema in Kyoto, Naoki Nagayama and the leading actors Hiroyuki Sanada, Toshihiko Tahara and Mieko Harada had just finished a media conference.
The reporters in Kyoto asked various questions, trying to discover angles that their colleagues in Tokyo had not written about, but they were all handled very well by the leading actors.
"Naoki-san, do you want to have a drink later?" Toshihiko Tahara and Hiroyuki Sanada suggested after the promotional event, "It's been a long time since I've been to Kyoto."
"Private Marseille, I have another event to attend later, maybe next time~"
Naoki Nagayama tactfully declined the invitations of the two men, and watched the two familiar faces go out together for fun. In the movie, the two were very good friends, and unexpectedly they also had a good relationship outside of the movie.
"What event is Naoki-san going to participate in?" asked the only heroine Mieko Harada.
Mieko Harada, who didn't even attend the premiere, is filming a movie called "Bakusum Seishen Gyakusho "Fukuzawa Yukichi". If the venue hadn't happened to be in Kyoto, she wouldn't even have participated in this promotional event.
"It's the groundbreaking ceremony of a garden." Nagayama Naoki replied, "How is the filming of Mieko-chan's movie going?"
"Such a period historical film takes a lot of time to shoot..." Harada Mieko sighed, "It's still in the early stages of filming. Many scenes are not satisfactory, and the actors are also getting used to it."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Movies of this era also pay special attention to ancient style and appearance. When you meet a serious director, the props team will go crazy with their demands for service!
The shooting cycle is also very long...the legendary slow work produces fine work.
"So, does it not matter if Mieko-chan comes out today?" Naoki Nagayama asked.
"I don't have any scenes in these scenes. They are all filming men's scenes." Mieko Harada replied with a smile, "So it's no problem to take time off."
"That's right~" Naoki Nagayama nodded, "Do you have anything going on this afternoon? If not, would you like to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of my yard together?"
"Oh? Is it okay?" Mieko Harada asked.
"Of course, I would be very lonely if I was alone. It would be best to have friends to accompany me~"
Nagayama Naoki and Harada Mieko were talking as they walked outside. Since it was afternoon, of course they would have a meal together at noon.
I told Nakamori Akina before that Kyoto’s miso has a strong flavor. In fact, there are many other dishes in Kyoto, too.
And due to the large number of temples, it has become famous for its exquisite cuisine that uses vegetables and fruits instead of meat, especially tofu cuisine.
I told the taxi driver directly that I wanted to go to the most famous soup tofu restaurant in Kyoto. The driver's uncle, who was nearly fifty years old, took them directly to a restaurant called "総本家ゆどうふOdan Shimizu" in Higashiyama District.
.
Many old restaurants in Kyoto have exquisite courtyards, and this Yudoufu restaurant, which has been passed down for more than 200 years, is no exception.
Walking into the store, the quaint dining tables and storefront still retain the style of the Edo period.
The pool-style garden outside the window is quiet and peaceful, with the gurgling stream flowing through it, which is interesting to the tofu in the pot.
Naoki Nagayama and Mieko Harada ordered a soup tofu set meal, and the appetizer was a plate of grilled tofu coated with sweetened sauce.
"Ou Yixi (so delicious)~"
Mieko Harada said happily after taking a bite,
“Sure enough, it is a delicious food that has been passed down for hundreds of years!”
"..."
Naoki Nagayama is still a little unaccustomed to the way Japanese girls say delicious things no matter what they eat. He originally thought it was a business talk on TV, but he didn't expect it to be the same in private.
However, this grilled tofu skewer is indeed delicious. The sweetness is very good to neutralize a little bit of the fishy smell of the tofu, highlighting the umami flavor of the tofu without destroying the original flavor of the tofu.
The tofu casserole after the appetizer is made from a stove that is hundreds of years old and has a very chronological feel. There are several large pieces of tender tofu in the casserole, simmering in the clear soup base.
After entering the mouth, the tofu has its own fragrance and the rich taste of the soup base. It is fresh, tender, smooth and extremely delicious.
Naoki Nagayama and Mieko Harada chatted while eating exquisite and delicious tofu.
"Naoki-san, when did you buy land in Kyoto?"
"Well, in the middle of this year, I really like the cherry blossoms and red leaves in Kyoto, so I want to have a villa here where I can enjoy them."
Nagayama Naoki blew on the steaming tofu and took a sip.
"Then every year during the cherry blossom season and red leaf hunting, wouldn't it be enough to come to Kyoto?"
Mieko Harada doesn't understand why she wants to build a house here.
"When traveling, I come and go in a hurry. I always feel like I don't appreciate the beautiful scenery in detail, and I also compete with other people for a scenic spot."
Nagayama Naoki smiled, "Just like this soup tofu, you need to taste it slowly to make it more delicious."
"It sounds very reasonable~" Harada Mieko also looked at the tender white in the spoon carefully, and then savored it carefully, "But... even if you build a house here, you still have to be with tourists?
"
Nagayama Naoki smiled: "So I want to build a courtyard of my own~"
"The courtyard?"
Mieko Harada subconsciously looked at the exquisite courtyard of this tofu restaurant, thinking it was just such a courtyard. It looked really good.
When the two of them finished enjoying the soup tofu dishes and took a taxi to the Noble Courtyard in Sakyo District, Mieko Harada opened her mouth wide as she looked at the courtyard surrounded by walls and covering an area of more than 3,000 square meters.
"Zhi Shusang, do you want to build a sleeping hall?"
"Haha, how is that possible? If the dormitory was built, it would be at least four times the size of this one."
Nagayama Naoki saw that a simple pavilion had been set up inside the wall, and Takashi Honma was already there, so he waved his hand to indicate,
"Mieko-chan, let's go in. The groundbreaking ceremony should be ready."
Everything that needs to be demolished in the Noble Courtyard has been demolished. The original shrubs and weeds have been cleared away. The structure of the remaining main house is still intact, but the reconstruction materials are slowly being prepared.
"Takashi-san! Naoya-san! You are all here!" Naoki Nagayama greeted Takashi Honma and Naoya Sakata.
"Hey, actually we have rented a hotel nearby." Takashi Honma said, "When we build in the future, we will be here for a long time."
"Ah, that was really hard work!"
"Haha, this is what we should do. Naoki-san has given us the opportunity to display our creativity, we must cherish it!" Takashi Honma said with a smile, "By the way, the 'Jizhen Festival' is almost ready, we
It’s time to start.”
"Hi!"
Naoki Nagayama and Mieko Harada walked into the simple pavilion, where a priest wearing divine robes had already placed all the offerings on the table in place.
The so-called ‘Jizhen Matsuri’ is a prayer ceremony entrusted to the shrine before the construction of a house is started, asking the gods for the right to use the land, asking the gods to bless the safety of the building, and bless the homeowner’s family to live happily on this land, etc.
Generally, the gods must be invited to come over first, entertained with tributes and wine, and then rice and salt should be spread to drive away evil spirits and purify. After that, the owner must pull weeds and break ground... There are more than a dozen steps, which is quite complicated.
Nagayama Naoki followed the priest's instructions and completed each task one by one. After sending the gift to the gods at the end, he had to give a red envelope... Fortunately, Takashi Honma had already prepared a red envelope - 50,000 yen.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After the groundbreaking ceremony, Takashi Honma began to direct the construction team to enter the site, while Naoki Nagayama took Mieko Harada for a brief inspection.
"Naoki-san, you said before that you don't want to compete with tourists for an attraction, so why do you want to build your own yard?"
Nagayama Naoki nodded: "Yes, it is a good choice to come here for vacation in spring and autumn, or to escape the heat in summer."
Mieko Harada looked at the handsome guy next to her and found that her impression of Naoki Nagayama had changed.
I thought I was just rich, but now I realize that this guy is super rich!
"It's really awesome!"
.......
In a club in Tokyo, Fukasaku Kinji asked Yamada Yoji very angrily,
"Yoji-san, didn't you say there's no problem at all?
Why is "High School" still released in all theaters?
What about the r18 rating?”
Yamada Yoji also sighed: "Who knew that Kadokawa was so cautious that they actually turned around from the United States and introduced it again!"
Fukasaku Kinji's eyes widened: "Is it possible to completely avoid domestic restrictions like this? This is completely taking advantage of the law!"
"There's no way, we couldn't have imagined that this was a trick that was only used in adult films before." Yoji Yamada said helplessly, "Those of us on the review team couldn't see the film at all!"
Faced with a movie that starts with an FBI warning, the Film Ethics Management Committee has absolutely no way to intervene!
"Hey! Kadokawa is so cunning!"
Fukasaku Kinji thought this was a trick thought up by the cunning Kadokawa Haruki.
"Yoji-san, can't we make an issue out of this?
For example, "High School" knew that its content had harmful effects, so it released it specifically in the United States to avoid censorship or something like that?"
Yamada Yoji shook his head: "They can say that the target of the movie is the global market, so it is more convenient to start directly in the United States...
Besides, Kinji-kun, Japanese movies have never been restricted due to violence before. Our attempt to force the classification of "Hot Blood High School" cannot be promoted in a big way."
"this....."
The evil plan that was originally well planned turned out to be futile at the beginning. This made Fukasaku Kinji very frustrated and he could only pick up the wine glass and take a sip.
The spicy wine made his blood burn. Fukasaku Kinji loosened his collar and calmed down:
"Yoji-san, if this method doesn't work, we can only continue to work hard on the newspaper. There will be no problem with the reporters who wrote the scandal, right?"
"Well, there is absolutely no problem with this. A reporter has gone to the Yamaguchi-gumi Shizuoka group in Qingshui City to verify that the group leader there is indeed a member of the Nagayama family."
Yamada Yoji said, "The evidence and photos have been shared with other media. There will definitely be no problem this time!"
"Well, coupled with the previous criticism of youth violence, this time it will definitely set off a wave of public opinion."
Fukasaku Kinji felt a little more at ease,
"In this case, this movie will definitely not be included in this year's Film Academy Awards!"
