Generally speaking, Naoki Nagayama always pays for himself when he goes out to eat...except when the purpose is just to get a meal.
For example, if you go out for a big meal with Yoshimura Otomo and Itou Shuichi, Yoshimura Otomo pays for it.
There is no other reason, because Yoshimura Otomo seems to be extremely smart (Mediterranean) and highly respected (oldest), so most of the time it is assumed that he is the richest...
Yoshimura Otomo silently took out his wallet and started to pay the bill, while Naoki Nagayama patted his stomach and said:
"Thank you Otomo-san for your hospitality today! I haven't had such a good meal in a long time!"
On the other side, Shuichi Itou was drinking a cup of hot tea, closing his eyes as if he was still reminiscing about today's seafood dinner.
"Oh... Wallet-kun, Wallet-kun... Seeing you getting thinner and thinner, I feel very melancholy in my heart!" Fangcun Otomo seemed to have been with young people for a long time, and he had a very young mentality when he spoke.
It’s also a set.
Nagayama Naoki was speechless, "Otomo-san, your wallet is empty, isn't it because you spent it all on the girls in the club?"
Hearing this, Fangcun Dayou's expression changed and he immediately became serious: "Naoki-san, please don't spread rumors, I never go to that kind of place!"
"...."
These words made Nagayama Naoki roll his eyes. Did he go to Kobe with a ghost before?!
Itou Shuichi put down his teacup and explained briefly to Nagayama Naoki:
"Naoki-san, you don't know. Otomo-san might have gone there before, but now I don't know what's going on. Ever since I came back from Kobe, I've been going home every night and I'm very haggard the next day... so
Avoid going to clubs.”
Oh? Are you forced to pay public food?
Naoki Nagayama originally wanted to continue asking, but when he saw Otomo Yoshimura's face darkening, he wisely gave up.
Alas... people have no choice but to reach middle age!
Hearing the bad friend on the other side talking more and more, it became more and more serious. Yoshimura Otomo showed the dignity of an elder and forcibly changed the topic:
"Naoki-san, are you still going to be in the studio this afternoon?"
"No...Didn't I draw a sketch in the morning? I just took Kijima-kun to the shooting locations in Tokyo in the afternoon..." Naoki Nagayama said, "Now Kijima-kun is my executive director.
, he also has to take on tasks such as location shooting.”
"Kijima-kun..." After being reminded many times during this period, the other two people had a deep impression of Kijima Xu, "Can he deal with outsiders?"
"You always have to try~" Naoki Nagayama shrugged.
He actually felt that Kijima Xu's sense of existence was low. On the one hand, it was because he was indeed a bit special. He must have been born with a popular face and was not attractive to people. On the other hand, it was also because of his own personality...
If he is a social cow, no matter what happens, no one will pay attention to him.
This seafood restaurant was not far from the studio. Nagayama Naoki and the others chatted and ate, and slowly returned to the studio.
Nagayama Naoki went directly to the photography team area, and sure enough he saw Kijima Kyun, packing photography equipment alone.
"Kishima-kun, why are you alone?" Nagayama Naoki asked curiously, "Where are your younger brothers Sakata Koaki and Obara Miguel?"
"Uh...Naoki-san, we are colleagues...they are not my younger brothers..."
Kijima Xu explained awkwardly, and then continued, "Today they went to TV Asahi."
"Didn't we arrange for them to help with the filming of "Music Station" before?"
"Ah...that's right..."
Naoki Nagayama nodded. The second episode of "Music Station" was aired last Friday, but it was grabbed the headlines by Akina Nakamori's birthday celebration, so it didn't seem as prominent as the first episode.
However, the guest in the second episode was Seiko Matsuda, a competitor of Akina Nakamori, so at least it was a little bit of a hot spot, and the ratings were pretty good.
"This is the third episode. They are going to shoot the hometown of Xicheng Hideki, right?" After the female idols, naturally the male idols will be the guests.
"Hi!" Kijima Xu nodded, "The two of them also brought new employees with them to train them to be their successors."
"Haha, you are still very smart~"
They can still distinguish the pros and cons of becoming a recording crew member for a program or becoming a member of Naoki Nagayama's film shooting team.
Nagayama Naoki patted Kijima Kyon's shoulder:
"Kijima-kun, in the afternoon, come with me to take a look at the filming locations of "Kikujiro's Summer"... Some places still need to be rented and adjusted."
"Hi!"
.......
Tokyo, Taito District, Asakusa area.
Taitung District is the ancient area with the most "Edo legacy" in neon, with countless shrines, temples, museums and other places of interest.
"There are so many filming locations in Tokyo! Not only our movies, but also other movies can find corresponding locations in Tokyo."
"Hey, after all, this is a big city with the best neon lights..." Kijima Kyor looked around at the buildings with Yamato cultural characteristics and nodded in agreement.
Nagayama Naoki and Kijima Kyon came to the "Asakusa Tongri Shopping Street" together. Perhaps standing next to Kijima Kyon, Nagayama Naoki felt that his sense of presence was also reduced. The pedestrians who passed by looked at him.
There are also fewer eyes.
It seems that Kijima Xu has another new usage...
"Kijima-kun, this is the starting point of the movie!" Naoki Nagayama pointed at the 180-meter-long arcade shopping street in front of him and said, "I want the protagonist Masao to be remembered by the audience from here!"
Kijima Xu looked at the simple sketch storyboard in his hand, then looked up at the shopping street in front of him and nodded:
“Very local atmosphere...”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The two of them were walking through the shopping street while discussing the shooting method.
"Kijima-kun, you have also read the script... If we are here, we expect to have a lot of shots, so there must be seats on both sides of the intersection..."
"Hi~"
"In some places, slide rails must be laid or carts must be mounted directly... Let the camera follow the actors and take close-ups..."
"Hi!"
Unknowingly, I walked to Sensoji Temple's Nitenmon Gate. This is the east side gate of Sensoji Temple. Although it is not as famous as the Kaminarimon gate at the main gate, it is still full of history.
"Let's separate here..." Naoki Nagayama made a camera gesture, looked at the side door in the frame and nodded.
"Separate?" Kijima Xu was confused.
"Hmm~"
As he deeply recalled "The Summer of Kikujiro", Naoki Nagayama's mind was already filled with images from the movie, and it seemed that even the song "Summer" was echoing.
After striding through the Nakamise Shopping Street in Sensoji Temple and exiting the Kaminarimon Gate, Naoki Nagayama and Kyū Kijima walked to the vicinity of the Sumida River Park, all the way to the Azuma Bridge on the Sumida River.
Since the "Sakura Bridge" used in the movie has not yet been built, there is not even a Skytree...so we can only find this substitute.
"Here...the first time we met..."
Nagayama Naoki looked at the open scenery on the river. The light water vapor was carried by the wind, and it felt very comfortable on his face. He turned around and looked around. Not far away was Nakamori Akina's apartment...
"Maybe Akina will still find out when the movie comes out~"
"Naoki-san, what did you say?" The wind on the bridge was a bit strong, making the low-down words a little unclear. Kijima Xu asked from the side.
"Ah, nothing, let's go to the river bank..."
"Uh...Hi!"
Kijima Kyor didn't ask any more questions, but just remembered another location in his notebook. He decided that before shooting, he would bring the script and his two younger brothers to visit and thoroughly understand what needed to be shot.
....This is a responsible executive director!
This afternoon, Nagayama Naoki and Kijima Kyon walked around Taito District in Tokyo until late at night, basically looking at all the filming locations that were going to be featured.
"Kishima-kun, let's stop here today~"
Seeing that the sunset was about to set, and it was almost the time of encountering the devil, Nagayama Naoki said to Kijima Kyor.
"Our subsequent filming locations include a large area in Shizuoka and Kanagawa...but this will happen later~"
"Hi! I got it!"
"Also, there is a scene at a seaside resort hotel, and we need to find a high-end hotel..."
"Hi, I'll be in touch!"
After chattering for a few words, Nagayama Naoki drove away coolly, leaving the miserable Kijima Kyū... who had to take the subway home.
As an ordinary photographer, although my salary has increased a lot in the past two years, I still spend a lot on my own lenses. In a high-consumption city like Tokyo, I still need to save some money.
........
When we returned to Yamasakura-in, the golden sunlight was shining slantingly on the second-story small foreign-style building, as if it had coated the brown roof with a layer of gold paint.
The upper half of the Yamazakura Garden is very bright, but the lower half looks dim. Thick bamboo leaves cover up the scene of the courtyard. Only the corners of some eaves and the lush tops of the cherry trees inside are visible.
"Yutaro, I'm back!"
After driving into the garage, Nagayama Naoki stretched out his claws towards the dog running over, happily stroking the dog's head which was getting bigger and bigger.
"Are you good at home today?! Did you demolish the house? If I find traces of the demolition, your canned goods will be gone tonight!"
Like a primary school student who is asked by his parents if he has done his homework as soon as he returns home, Taro's originally thick and windmill-like tail has slowed down visibly to the naked eye.
However, Nagayama Naoki happily walked into the house. Even Nyaotaro who was passing by was stopped by him and masturbated... This was not only because he was happy to be back home, but also because he could do it at night.
I saw Akina...but I don't know what time it will be tonight.
It’s common for flights to be delayed these days~
After walking around Tokyo in the afternoon, the seafood for lunch was already digested. Nagayama Naoki touched his hungry belly and decided to cook something delicious tonight.
After turning on the record player and randomly choosing a blues record as background music, Naoki Nagayama came to the kitchen.
He opened the refrigerator and found fresh beef brisket and bright red tomatoes. He decided to stew an appetizing and delicious tomato beef brisket...and then there were also dried salted chicken and freshly fried seasonal vegetables...
.
These dishes require a lot of work. After preparing the dishes, Naoki Nagayama put on his apron and started processing the ingredients.
Washing, dicing, pickling...the procedures seemed to come naturally to him. Nagayama Naoki moved skillfully. In this life, he helped in izakayas since he was a child, and in his previous life, he was alone to reward himself...
The cooking is comparable to that of a professional chef.
Just as Naoki Nagayama stewed the tomato beef brisket on low heat, and stewed the dried salted chicken, Taro Taro, who was lying in the restaurant, seemed to suddenly notice something, his ears twitched, and he suddenly came out of the yard.
go out.
But Nagayama Naoki here didn't notice it at all, and instead started washing vegetables again... The sound of rushing water, gurgling rolling sound, coupled with the music of the record player, it was strange and harmonious~
Just when Nagayama Naoki was concentrating on washing vegetables, he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening and closing. He thought it was Yutaro:
"Yingtaro, don't play with the door...be careful that I won't give you extra food!"
"Naoki-san!" A voice of suppressed joy came from behind.
Nagayama Naoki turned around in surprise and saw his girlfriend. She was wearing a slightly oversized sleeveless T-shirt and sweatpants. Her waves were combed into a high ponytail, revealing her slender white neck and delicate face.
He smiled and looked at himself with crooked eyes.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Akina?! Why are you back now?" Nagayama Naoki quickly turned off the faucet, put down the vegetables in his hands, and walked towards his girlfriend.
"It was supposed to be the next flight...but I didn't want to have a celebration banquet in Hokkaido, so I took an early flight!" Akina Nakamori put her handbag on the table and wanted to rush into her home.
In the arms of her boyfriend.
"Eh... Akizumi sack... I'm wearing an apron~" Naoki Nagayama held down Akina's shoulders.
"Stupid tape, I don't dislike Naoki-san..."
Akina Nakamori didn't stop, she rushed in, put her arms around Naoki Nagayama's neck and kissed her.
A faint fragrance lingers in your nose. Have you sprayed perfume?
The thoughts in his head flashed away. Naoki Nagayama put his hands around the slim waist of the delicate body in his arms, felt the soft lips, and responded enthusiastically.
Young men and women are like a bundle of dry firewood, a spark can ignite...
Naoki Nagayama felt as if the body in his arms was on fire. He couldn't help but want to use his cold hands that had just been soaked in water to cool down a little. Unknowingly, his hands reached into the loose T-shirt and touched the exposed skin, but the temperature in his arms dropped.
It's gone to a higher level.
My breathing gradually became faster and even became difficult. Then I separated and my lips became a little swollen.
Big mouthfuls of breath sprayed on the face, itching...
Akina's face was already flushed, and the water in her eyes seemed to overflow...
"Naoki-san~ I miss you so much~"
The longing that had accumulated since my birthday completely burst out at this moment, and her sweet tone was like pouring a bucket of gasoline on the small fire that was originally burning, making the fire completely uncontrollable.
Nagayama Naoki kissed her back hard, then hugged his girlfriend and walked towards the bedroom on the second floor~
What else is there to do in the kitchen at this time? Dinner?
Of course you have to eat the vegetables first!!!
........
Yotaro, who secretly opened the door and took Akina in, originally thought that he would be able to get praise and comfort from the host, or at least add an extra spoonful of beef to his dinner...
But as soon as the hostess came in, she hugged the owner and ran up to the bedroom on the second floor...
When it wanted to follow it in, the owner kicked it out and then closed the bedroom door...
Not long after that, I heard a strange rhythmic sound coming from the bedroom...
Taro barked several times angrily, but received no response, so he had no choice but to run back to the restaurant.
In the soup pot on the stove, the soup was chugging. As he smelled the aroma of meat, he was worried about the next dinner.
Master, can you come down before the water boils dry... If there is a burning smell then, do you want to warn me?
