The lively preview screening finally came to an end.
Naoki Nagayama returned to the studio and happened to see Kyū Kijima, waiting for someone at the front desk~
"Kijima-kun, are you waiting for me?"
Naoki Nagayama asked curiously, looking up and down at Kijima Kyun's clothes... They were colorful and he was wearing a Daikin Rolex. Why did it feel like he was engaging in performance art~
"No~" Kijima Xu shook his head and made a pose, "I'm waiting for Kikuchi Momo and Saijo Hideki~"
"You got in touch so quickly?" You were notified only two days ago~
"Yes, Hideki Saijo is in the stage of looking for opportunities, because his local business has entered a period of decline, and there is news that he is developing towards overseas markets..." Kijima Kyor explained, "So the office heard
After the news came that Shuyou wanted to invite Xicheng Xiu Shusang, he actively accepted the invitation and came."
It is said that only those from poor families can travel far and wide. If they do well in Neon, how many idols will think about developing overseas...
Although he is still a first-line artist, Hideki Saijo is getting older after all. In the era when young idols born in the 1960s took over the music scene, the days of these seniors looked glorious on the surface, but on the inside...
It is true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front...the waves in front cannot wave even if they want to!
"Haha~" Nagayama Naoki wanted to laugh, but seeing so many people at the front desk, he held it back, "Then Kijima-kun, just wait a little longer~ If you have any difficulties during the meeting, just come to the office meeting and see me.
I’ll stay here for a while~”
"Hi! Arigado!"
Kijima Kyor is very grateful. Although he has rich experience, due to special reasons, he is basically not well-known in the industry now. Even though the screenwriter of "Love Century" is Naoki Nagayama, it is still difficult to hire Hideki Saijo.
But with Naoki-san's reputation, if he came to support the TV series in person, there would probably be no problem.
.......
After Nagayama Naoki came to the office, he saw Yoshimura Otomo who seemed to be nailed to the desk. His long-dormant complaint was about to stir again:
"Otomo-san, every time I see you on the chair, I think you and the office chair are together!"
"..."
The provoked middle-aged Mediterranean man has sharp eyes,
"Naoki-san...you know the consequences of standing up, right?!"
"Uh...uh?" Naoki Nagayama felt some pressure, but was still a little confused.
"Shuyou has so much work... When I stand up, someone has to sit down!" Yoshimura Otomo looked at Naoki Nagayama and said, "Shuichi-san is filming a movie... So Naoki-san
Who among the three of us do you think would be so free to sit in this position?!"
"Ah..." Why did this happen to me!
Nagayama Naoki quickly changed his serious expression: "Ahem, Otomo-san, I suddenly feel that you match the office desk very well, but the office chair is a bit old, and it may not be very comfortable to sit on...
It’s decided! In the New Year, I will give you a set of ergonomic seats to protect your lumbar spine and prevent you from getting tired after sitting for a long time..."
"He started talking nonsense again..." Seeing that his friend started talking nonsense again, Yoshimura Otomo reluctantly let Naoki Nagayama go, focused his attention on the document in his hand, and asked by the way, "Try
Is the screening over already?"
"Ah! Yes!" Nagayama Naoki sat relaxed in the chair, "It ended smoothly!"
"How's it going? Is there any problem?" Otomo Yoshimura lowered his head and said silently, "I mean, is there anything going on between Naoki-san and the media?"
"What can happen to me?! Otomo-san, don't just throw dirty water on me!" Nagayama Naoki was quite angry.
"Ha~"
"..."
Forget it, I'm tired... Naoki Nagayama doesn't want to argue anymore: "Brother Feng announced his decision to retire at the press conference."
"Retire?" Fangcun Dayou raised his head again, "So young?"
"I want to go back and inherit the family business..." Noticed that something was wrong with Fangcun Otomo's eyes, he explained, "It's not the Yakuza, but a KTV nightclub."
"Ah, that!"
Yoshimura Otomo naturally knows KTV, which was Naoki Nagayama’s first invention.
"Speaking of which, Naoki-san... the growth trend of KTV is very eye-catching... The Economic News said that everyone is looking forward to the first KTV company to go public, saying it will be the largest KTV company in recent years.
Vibrant new business formats..."
"Wouldn't Naoki-san be heartbroken to give up such a big cake like this?"
Yoshimura Otomo felt a little emotional. Nagayama Naoki can be said to be the founder of discotheques and KTVs. If other people have a similar idea in their lifetime, they will definitely work hard to run it, and they will not have to worry about it in this life.
"Why is it heartbreaking... There are so many ways to make money, why should you choose such a tiring one..."
Nagayama Naoki really doesn't care. In an industry like nightclubs that emphasizes human services, just open one or two for fun. It takes a lot of effort to run it. It's hard, tiring and has to face many problems...
....
Simply facing the provocation of local snakes, you need to have a solid enough backing.
"That's what I said..."
Even in the rising period of neon, making big money is not something ordinary people can think of.
"Dong dong"
While the two were chatting, there was a knock on the office door.
Suzuki Yuka's head poked in: "Naoki-san... Kijima-kun, please help!"
"Hey, I'll be there right away~" Nagayama Naoki stood up after agreeing and said to Yoshimura Otomo, "Otomo-san, you see, I'm very busy..."
"..." Does it need to be so dramatic...?
.......
After opening the door of the conference room, I saw a handsome guy sitting opposite, accompanied by two managers... This is the treatment of a first-line idol.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! On the other side, there is a slightly nervous Momoko Kikuchi, and a helpless look on Kijima Kyon...
"Mr. Kijima, with all due respect..." Naoki Nagayama heard the older manager talking as soon as he came in, "My artist heard about the reputation of Shuyu and Mr. Naoki Nagayama, and that's why he wanted to
To communicate about the script... But we have never heard of Mr. Kijima's reputation..."
"That's for a special reason!" Naoki Nagayama took over the conversation as soon as he entered the door and nodded to the three people in front of him, "It's a bit rude, I am Naoki Nagayama..."
"Ah, Director Nagayama..." The manager apologized quickly, "This is the first time we meet, I am Matsuo Naosuke, Nishiro Hideki's manager, please give me some advice~"
Then Xicheng Hideki also stood up: "Private Marseille, Matsuo-san's tone just now was a bit too much..."
"I'm Xicheng Hideki, I've heard of you for a long time... Please give me some advice~"
After everyone greeted them, Naoki Nagayama sat down at the main seat without hesitation and continued the topic:
"Kijima-kun, take off your watch..."
"Eh?" Kijima Xu looked over in surprise. After receiving confirmation, he took off his Rolex and placed it in the middle of the table.
Saijo Hideki and Matsuo Naosuke looked at each other, feeling a little strange:
"What is Naoki-san doing? What does this have to do with our previous topic..."
"Aren't you saying that you don't know Kijima-kun's fame?" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Actually, Kijima-kun plays a vital role in various projects of tree friends, but his presence is low. He only gets credit every time.
They have all been forgotten... This has led to a strange phenomenon that no one in the industry has heard of."
"Haha, Naoki-san, are you kidding?" Xicheng Hideki felt a little weird. An office like Shuyou would actually make such a joke?
"What level of low presence will make people unable to remember their achievements at work!"
"Don't you believe it?"
Nagayama Naoki smiled, then pointed at the Rolex on the table and said:
"Xiushu-san, is this your Rolex?"
"How is that possible? This is obviously the one just now...Eh? Who put that one on the table!"
Xicheng Hideki subconsciously looked to the side. There was clearly a brightly dressed man sitting there. The two parties had just introduced each other... but he couldn't remember his name all of a sudden!
"His name is Kijima Kyor... Do you believe it now~"
Nagayama Naoki signaled Kijima Kyor to put on his watch. This Rolex with a strong sense of presence suddenly connected the cognition in his mind... The guy wearing Rolex is Kijima Kyor!
At this time, several people on the opposite side looked at Kijima Kyor in surprise... This is not a low sense of existence! This is clearly a super power!!!
It's okay to go to the women's bathhouse and take a peek! (How can it be repaired? Why am I a little envious!)
"It's actually true!!! Such a thing really happens!!" Xicheng Hideki exclaimed.
Naoki Nagayama explained it to them with a story,
"Generally speaking, cetacean calls are 20 Hz, but very, very rarely, there will occasionally be a whale in the ocean whose call reaches around 50 Hz.
Such a whale will not be heard by its companions, no one will hear it when it sings, no one will pay attention to it when it is sad, and it will always swim alone in the ocean..."
"It's probably because Kijima-kun's magnetic field is a little different from others, which is why everyone can't remember him. But after getting along for a long time, we'll become familiar with him and won't forget him~"
"..."
When Kijima Xu heard this story for the first time, he felt the same way and even had the urge to cry...
Several others were curious and confused. They had never heard of such a story.
Among them, Momo Kikuchi, a girl, even emotionally believed that it was Naoki Nagayama who specially made up this story for Kijima Kyon... He is indeed a talented writer!
After everyone's feelings of nostalgia passed, we continued to discuss the details of the production of "Century of Love".
"I can vouch for Kijima-kun's directorial ability... In fact, the recent "Summer of Kikujiro" was made by Kijima-kun as the assistant director." Naoki Nagayama said to the three people opposite him very sincerely.
Said, "And as the author of this script, I will naturally pay attention to it during the filming process..."
"Such a script, with the blessing of Xiu Shusang and the resource support of Shuyou, will definitely get good ratings~"
"On the other hand, this TV series was arranged with Fuji TV, and is completely produced by Shuyou...it will be filmed and broadcast at the same time. If there are any problems, it can be adjusted at any time..."
Naoki Nagayama’s guarantee and the quality of the script itself made Hideki Saijo very excited!
Idols feed off their youth, especially male idols... As they age, their once good looks gradually disappear. As the pinnacle of male idols, they are now in a period of decline in popularity.
However, at this age, he still belongs to the younger generation in the entertainment industry. If he can make a transition, it may be a very good choice.
Thinking of this, Xicheng Hideki finally made up his mind:
"Kijima-kun, Naoki-san, after communicating with you two, my worries have dissipated... I have decided to join the filming of "Love Century". Please give me your advice in the future!"
"That's great!" Kijima Xu stood up excitedly. He is a fan of Hideki Saijo!
"Please give me your advice!" Nagayama Naoki also stood up and shook hands with them.
Naturally, the next step is the step-by-step signing process...
After everything was completed, Naoki Nagayama and Kyoshi Kijima politely sent Hideki Saijo away from the gate...
"Arigado, Naoki-san!" After the person left, Kijima Xu bowed very seriously to thank him.
If it weren't for giving him a platform, Naoki Nagayama wouldn't have lowered his profile so low... In the past, artists from all walks of life struggled to participate in his film projects!
"It's okay, it's okay... Kijima-kun, I'm very optimistic about you! Don't live up to my expectations!" Nagayama Naoki patted Kijima Kyon's shoulder in fear.
He could feel the words popping up on Kijima Kyon's head - Loyalty 1 1 1... No matter what, there should be no need to worry about ninja assassinations in the future!
Back in the studio, the heroine Momo Kikuchi was also preparing to leave, but her family was not so grand... She talked to the employees she knew in the company before preparing to leave.
"Peach jam." Nagayama Naoki saw it and wanted to give some advice.
"Naoki-san?"
Momoko Kikuchi walked up to Naoki Nagayama. Her cheeks, which had not yet shed her baby fat, were moist and tender. She really looked like a plump peach...
"The heroine of "Century of Love" this time is an urban working woman..." Naoki Nagayama said, "You should study the image of urban women during this time... what to wear and style.
I tend to be more mature...to facilitate future shooting."
"Hi!" Momoko Kikuchi nodded, "I understand!"
"Well, during this time, I will inform Mr. Yaming to arrange your work... Be prepared!"
"Hi!"
........
It was already evening when Naoki Nagayama came out of a studio session.
"Time flies really fast! No, it only flies when you are busy..."
It's winter, and nights always fall faster and faster. As I drive home, the light in the sky becomes much dimmer.
The originally light blue sky turned into a deep blue, as if a cold-toned filter was applied to the city, full of melancholy and mysterious feeling.
Passing by the border of Chiyoda and Bunkyo Ward, Naoki Nagayama still vaguely remembered that he had a house here, which was being used as a warehouse for fan mail...
Looking up at the sky, it seemed that it was not too late, Naoki Nagayama decided to take a look~
The small semi-circular balcony in the small apartment on the second floor has an exotic style and looks very cute.
After walking in through the door of the apartment building, Naoki Nagayama got the spare key from the administrator and opened the door.
A faint smell of dust and paper came out. Some messy letters were placed on the table in the living room, and more were placed in boxes in the bedroom. He had been here several times in the first half of the year.
received letters from fans......
However, the logic of "Tomorrow's Me and Yesterday's You" seems to be too complicated. Even though professional critics have given it good reviews, it is not as popular as the previous "Love Sky" and "Love Letter".
After writing two random replies and explaining the logic of time, Nagayama Naoki got fed up and did not stay any longer.
After walking out of the door, he looked at the neighbor's house next to him. It used to be Nahoko Kawai's apartment, but there must be no one there now.
After walking out of the apartment, the sky became darker~
The cold wind blew on my face, but it made me more alert... Looking up into the distance, I saw a bright golden color that looked even more dazzling in the dim light.
Anyway, it's okay... I'm here~
Nagayama Naoki walked over leisurely~
In the small green belt around the corner, a golden ginkgo tree looks so abrupt among the green leaves and dead branches. Looking ahead, there are more than a dozen similar ginkgo trees.
The ginkgo tree is not as green as spring and summer. The leaves on the tree are sparse or dense, some are green and some are orange, but most of them are golden...
The breeze blows, and the golden, small fan-like leaves on the trees keep flapping, as if waving to others; and the leaves scattered on the sidewalk form a beautiful carpet, like an invitation
Let others go and enjoy it.
This cold winter is when they are at their most gorgeous.
"No one has said that this place is pretty beautiful~ It's a pity that I didn't bring a camera..."
Nagayama Naoki walked on the sidewalk with a relaxed pace. There were not many people here, and it seemed that not many people knew about such beautiful scenery.
Suddenly there was a whistling sound of the Shinkansen. The other side of the ginkgo tree green belt was actually the JR line. A little further on, we reached Ochanomizu...
"Is this... the Holy Bridge?" Naoki Nagayama walked on a bridge and felt that it looked very familiar. "It was the filming location of Suzuya's journey!"
Naoki Nagayama looked down from the bridge. A train whizzed past under the bridge. The conical train was running parallel to the Kanda River next to it. At this time, a train also passed on the Marunouchi Line. The feeling of three parallel lines made Nagayama Naoki
It feels a little strange~
"If there is another ship on the Kanda River at this time..."
Just when Nagayama Naoki was thinking this, a small boat actually drove over from the corner, and the pointed tip cut through the water, forming two V-shaped water lines~
"Hahaha, it's really here~"
Nagayama Naoki laughed happily, causing pedestrians passing by to stay away unconsciously.
At this moment, the river surface with a blue filter is filled with sparkling light and the white embankment complement each other. The two trains whizzing past are like natural dividing lines, creating a perfect golden angle, as if they were cast by nature.
The same famous paintings~
"Exactly the same as in memory~"
There seemed to be images of "Journey to Suzuya" in his mind, and there were also many artistic photos that had been swept across the Internet, showing him the scenery here decades from now...
It's a pity that others don't know about it~
This chapter is not over, please click the next page to continue reading! No one knows Naoki Nagayama’s mood at this time, whether he was lonely or happy. In short, he looked at this holy bridge for a long time, until the hazy moon appeared in the sky
.....
"It's not dark yet, the moon has come out~"
Nagayama Naoki glanced at the crescent moon appearing in the deep dark blue sky, then looked at the river surface glowing with faint blue light, shook his head and prepared to go home.
He originally wanted to take advantage of the impulse of this inexplicable emotion to try to recall more memories, but his upgraded brain seemed to have really lost the ability to recall it overnight, and he only had some fragmentary images.
When we returned to Yamasakura-in, the sky was completely dark, and even the circle of bamboo at the door could only be seen as vague shadows.
After driving into the garage, Yotaro warmly welcomed Nagayama Naoki, but Nagayama Naoki felt unhappy:
"Yingtaro~ Go and play by yourself first...Your master, I...have something on my mind~"
After saying that, he slowly walked up to the second floor and walked into the study...
The mood has arrived, the broken picture has appeared, but I can't think of anything, as if something is blocked in my mind... I have no interest in doing anything else.
Nagayama Naoki must try to dig out this inexplicable thing...
On the sketch paper, he tried to combine the view of the sacred bridge seen by Ochanomizu with the picture that flashed in his mind. Nagayama Naoki thought that it would naturally remind him of the anime movie "Suzuya's Journey"... But
I have been painting for a long time, but I feel very irritable.
"What went wrong..."
Lying on the back of the chair, closing his eyes and thinking, the study was completely quiet, not even Taro Taro came in...
A few soft calls of unknown insects came from the window. Is it a grasshopper? But it was much softer and blurry~
In the blurry night, the rustle of bamboo leaves blown by the wind actually sounded like the calm lake water caressing the shore~
Gradually, a tranquil lake surface seemed to appear in front of Naoki Nagayama's eyes. The moon was high in the sky, and the faint blue light was rippled on the lake surface...
The lazy chanting seemed to come from afar, with a sad yet sad relief and endless longing:
"
.....
(This night, my thoughts for you are like the new moon)
Mikazuki(みかづき)が手(て)のひらに float(う)かぶこの夜(よる)に(The light reflected in the blue water droplets on the palm of my hand sways gently)
.......
"
Nagayama Naoki opened his eyes, feeling a little surprised and relieved. The name of this song is "Water Color"~
It fits very well with my thoughts and sadness that started in the afternoon. I don’t know where it came from... Maybe I have heard this song before when I couldn’t sleep at night~
The lazy female voice with a hint of hoarseness is still echoing in my mind. This is a song that can make people immersed in it just by singing it a cappella. The lyrics are written like poetry.
Nagayama Naoki recorded the music score, and then hummed the melody while looking for instruments in the study, trying to restore the singing he heard... This is not a piano piece, it needs to be matched with other instruments
It just sounds nice.
........
When Akina Nakamori came back, it was almost ten o'clock~
In addition to preparing for the preliminaries for the Japan Record Awards these days, I also have to rehearse the Red and White Convention programs with other idols. It can be said that I am extremely busy.
After returning to Yamasakura-in, she was surprised to find that only Taro Taro came to greet her, and none of the lights on the first floor were turned on.
"Yutaro, Naoki-san hasn't come back yet?" Akina hung up her clothes and touched Gouzi's head and asked.
I saw Yotaro's little tail spinning very fast, and he was about to lead Nakamori Akina toward the second floor~
"Did you go to the bedroom to rest? So early?" Akina Nakamori was a little surprised. Naoki Nagayama usually goes to bed at 12 o'clock, which is very regular. "Is it because you are sick?"
There was no one in the bedroom on the second floor, but light shone through the crack in the study door.
After opening the door and entering, Akina Nakamori saw Naoki Nagayama holding two sand hammers, humming a song and shaking them up and down as if exercising...
"Naoki-san?" Nakamori Akina felt reassured and a little amused, "What are you doing?"
"Ah, Akina is back~" Naoki Nagayama stopped, "I'm matching the sounds of musical instruments... It feels like Yamazakurain is missing some different musical instruments... Well, it seems
There is also a music room missing..."
Akina Nakamori walked to the desk and saw the sketch on the table for the first time:
"This is?"
"This is a place I saw today, the Sacred Bridge of Ochanomizu... I felt that the composition was very good, so I wanted to draw it~" Naoki Nagayama walked to the side and explained.
Then Akina saw that song again...
""The Color of Water"?"
"Well, I wrote a new song..."
Nakamori Akina suddenly became curious. From time to time, her boyfriend would have new inspiration and write various different songs...
Following the melody on the map, Akina also hummed:
"
.....
Season(きせつ)limit(かぎ)りなく回(まわ)り続(つづ)けてるけど
(The cycle of four seasons repeats itself infinitely)
わたしのこの心(こころ)に光(ひか)る水色(みずいろ)は
(My restless heart)
いついつまでも変(か)わらない空(そら)と海(うみ)の色(いろ)
(Just like the colors of the sky and the sea that never change at any time...)
...
"
Nagayama Naoki was humming the melody softly beside him, beating the beat with a maracas to accompany Akina. Akina did not use the deep and powerful voice when singing, but only used her usual talking voice to hum, which has not yet turned into a smoky voice.
Akina, unexpectedly matches the feeling of the original singer~
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It feels very sad and lonely~" Akina Nakamori suddenly turned to look at her boyfriend and hugged her tightly, "Naoki-san is
Did anything sad happen?"
"...."
Even though he usually behaves relaxed and cheerful, he exists alone in this completely different world, with no one to understand and no way to tell, just like the whale whose cry is 52 Hz... and has been swimming alone.
Dragging in the ocean~
This huge feeling of loneliness still emerges in Naoki Nagayama's heart from time to time, but in the past, he could always get through it by either drinking a little wine or going for a run...
"If Naoki-san encounters something sad, you can tell me~" Nakamori Akina raised her head and looked at Nagayama Naoki, "If the sadness is divided into two parts, both of you will feel less~"
Nagayama Naoki felt warm in his heart, as if his heart had been hit slightly... This time he didn't have to spend it alone...
He gently stroked Akina's back with both hands and patted her to reassure her:
"I just saw some scenery and felt it~"
"Does Akina know?
In the neighborhood of Ochanomizu, there is a street with not many people, and there are ginkgo trees on both sides...the leaves are like golden fans..."
"Um........"
"The water of the Kanda River will split into two water lines in front of the speedboat..."
"Um......."
"Three Shinkansen lines whizzed past at the same time..."
The two people in the study hugged each other gently and talked quietly, and even Ying Tailang had the good sense not to disturb him~
