His family's annex in Kyoto was still troubled by Itou Shuichi. Nagayama Naoki recalled the scene where Itou Shuichi had fun in the Red Fish Garden. He played in the three main halls and even the stones by the river.
I want to touch it... I always feel like the Red Fish Yard is not clean~
I need to ask the housekeeper of the courtyard to clean it up after that!
Tokyo at this time is full of Christmas atmosphere~
The Christmas song "Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!" filled the streets of the commercial district, the lights on the street trees flashed with the music, and the Christmas tree hung with gifts was placed in the center of the store...
.
The market is decorated with elk and snowflakes, various Christmas activities are held, and Santa Claus in red clothes, red hat and white beard distributes small gifts...
"If it were me when I was a child, I would be very happy..." Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Itou walked on the streets of Ikebukuro, looking at everything around them and sighing, "Such a happy and beautiful atmosphere, Shuichi-san, you
Do you think if "The Ring 2" premieres today, will anyone really come to watch it?"
"This is called being unique!" Yi Tangxiu said with a smile, "Why are haunted houses always so attractive in happy places like amusement parks? It's just to seek excitement!"
"When you are happy, people will always be bolder... It is also suitable to watch a horror movie~"
"Xiu Yisang, we have been apart for three days. We should look at each other with admiration!"
Nagayama Naoki sighed, he didn't expect Itou Shuichi to be able to say such a truth that sounded so similar, and nodded happily...
Those who are close to vermillion are red, and those who are close to ink are black. It must be under his own positive influence that Xiu Yisang has his own methodology in publicity!
"...I always feel that you are not praising me, Naoki-san..." The inexplicable feeling did not exist in Yido Shuichi's mind for too long. He said to Naoki Nagayama, "Naoki-san, let's go."
Come on, let’s go to the theater to watch the premiere!”
Nagayama Naoki shook his head:
"I'm just going to check on the preparations and then leave. I also want to pick up some customized gifts... Have a great Christmas Eve, do you want me to spend it with you, a grown man?"
"Hey~~~" Itou Shuichi made an unknown sound, and then he was attracted by the keywords in it, "Customized gift? What is it? Is there one for me?"
"...Are you a girl?"
"A gift, both men and women want it, right?" Itou Shuichi was still smiling playfully, but suddenly he seemed to have thought of something, and his face suddenly became horrified, "Christmas gift!!"
Seeing his friend's instantly horrified expression, Nagayama Naoki narrowed his eyes and thought of the reason:
"Shuichi-san...you didn't prepare Christmas gifts for Kayi-chan and Kawei-san, right?"
"Yes!!! I have been busy with editing and test screenings these days, and I rarely even go home! So I forgot about it!" Itou Shuichi asked Nagayama Naoki for help, "Naoki-san, what should I do?! What?
remedy!"
"There is no way, there is no hope, just wait to die!!"
Naoki Nagayama is ruthless. In this situation, if you buy a gift casually, it will be easy to see that you are careless! Especially the wife and daughter who live together day and night...
unless......
"Naoki-san, please! Please divide the gift between two of me!" Itou Shuichi grabbed Nagayama Naoki's arm, "According to your habits, the customization you mentioned is definitely not a custom-made one, right?
!”
"........how do you know?"
There are indeed many crystal apples and crystal apple accessories customized by Nagayama Naoki... In addition to Akina and my sister's Christmas gifts, I also plan to give them to some important people as gifts after "Century of Love".
...
"Naoki-san likes commemorative, limited edition, and unique things very much, like cat ear hair accessories, angel bells, etc. Once customized, it will definitely be plural!"
Yi Tangxiu made it clear that he really knew his friend very well.
"So, it's definitely okay to divide me into two!"
"Forehead......"
As soon as Itou Xiu saw Nagayama Naoki's hesitant look, he knew something was going on.
"Naoki-san, we have been friends for many years and are as close as brothers! You definitely can't watch me being scolded by Kai-chan and hated by Kai-chan, right?"
"..."
To be honest, I still kind of want to see it...
Seeing that Naoki Nagayama could not be moved by friendship, Shuichi Itou had no choice but to resort to crooked tactics:
"Ahem, Naoki-san... A new club has opened in the port area. I heard that there are many foreign ladies who can chat with people about exotic scenery..."
"Shuichi-san, who do you think I am!" Nagayama Naoki said sternly, "Remember, the gift I gave you is purely for the sake of our many years of friendship!"
"Hmm...I remember!"
...
During the conversation between the two, Ikebukuro's literary and art meeting soon arrived.
In the window facing the street corner, there is no Christmas tree or Santa Claus statue like other stores. Instead, it uses black and white tones to create a scene from a horror movie, with a TV set in the middle and a person named Sadako.
I am crawling out from the screen...
Naoki Nagayama took a breath of cold air: "Who came up with this idea?!"
"Haha, you must be scared!" Itou Shuichi's face was full of pride, "I... and Watanabe Eiichiro came up with this together!"
"Are this the same in other cinemas?"
"Of course not, this is a special plan only available to art studios!" Itou Shuichi said with a smile, "This is a special treatment! I have discussed it with Eiichiro Watanabe, and it is only available to cinemas that have signed an exclusive agreement with us!
"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "That's good, that's good..." Nagayama Naoki breathed a sigh of relief and said in a complicated tone, "You two are indeed a crouching dragon and a phoenix...
.It is really a 'surprise' to have two tree friends at the same time..."
"Yeah, it's even more exciting inside...hahahaha~"
Shuichi Itou smiled and led Naoki Nagayama into the lobby of the cinema. The place was already covered with posters of "The Ring", and elements from "The Ring" could be seen from time to time.
The old-fashioned black telephone next to the pillar, the video tape on the storage shelf at the front desk, the dry well props in the corner of the lobby, the black hair at the door of the screening room...
It’s like a haunted house with the theme of “The Ring”!
Speaking of which, this is the first time that Naoki Nagayama has no involvement in the promotion of a movie. I didn't expect that the distribution department would let it go so completely. Promotions in this era seem to be so styled, with exaggerated creativity and even more exaggerated props...
...
It can be said that it gave him an unforgettable "Showa shock"!
"Shuichi-san, this place can be used as a theme park for the Midnight Ring~"
"Haha, it's not that exaggerated!"
"I think there is..."
One after another, invited reporters and media came, as well as many horror film lovers...
Unexpectedly, there were really many people attracted by the furnishings outside. There were also many viewers walking in from the street. Every pair of people who came in seemed to be surprised by the characteristics of the theater~
Looking at the steady stream of spectators, Itou Shuichi also had a smile on his face.
Nagayama Naoki inspected the cinema and chatted with the on-site staff. He was probably sure that there would be no accidents, and then he was ready to leave.
"Shuichi-san, I'll go to other theaters and check it out..." After all, it's a big IP sequel to a niche movie like a horror film. Naoki Nagayama also wanted to know how it would be accepted in Tokyo, "I'll pick it up on the way.
Customized gift...leave your share at the company and pick it up when you go back in the evening!"
"Hi, thank you for your hard work!"
Itou Shuichi had to stick to the literary premiere. Although no main creative staff came to attend the media meeting, some small interviews could not be avoided.
After taking a taxi for a while, the fare increased a lot during the holidays, but Naoki Nagayama didn't care anymore.
When we arrived at the glass workshop in Sumida Ward, it was already dark.
"Ah, Naoki-san... I thought you weren't coming!" Store manager Shoji Kazuma breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Naoki Nagayama, "I'm going to call you...
.”
"I just came from Kyoto in the afternoon, so I'm a little late." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Are you ready for the gifts?"
"Hey, they're all there..."
Shoji Kazuma took Nagayama Naoki to the small warehouse and moved out a large box with warning signs such as fragile items on it.
Nagayama Naoki took out a transparent crystal apple and held it up to check... Under the light, no matter how it was rotated, the crystal clear apple shone brightly, and was so beautiful that it looked like nothing else.
The following red crystals, green crystals, amethysts, and blue crystals are also very beautiful, and each one has a pattern-like logo engraved on the inconspicuous corner of the leaf.
There is also a much smaller crystal apple pendant, which looks cute and beautiful~
“Very good~”
Nagayama Naoki decided to give the green crystal one to Itou Shuichi, the clear crystal one to Akina, the blue crystal one to Tsuruko, and the others to acquaintances...
After paying the money happily, store manager Shoji Kazuma helped wrap it in a gift box with colored paper for easy giving.
"Naoki-san...Merry Christmas!" Shoji Kazuma said with a smile when leaving.
"Haha, Merry Christmas... But I don't have a gift for you..." Nagayama Naoki smiled, "But I can remind you to prepare more transparent crystal apples next year, glass ones are also fine.
.....It will become popular next year and make you rich!"
"Haha, Naoki-san is joking~"
"Believe it or not, it's up to you~"
Naoki Nagayama shook his hand and prepared to go back~
I stopped by Waseda's apartment, and sure enough, Tsuruko wasn't there. She must have gone out with her boyfriend... Nagayama Naoki put down gifts under the small Christmas tree in the room, and then returned to Yamazakura alone.
Yotaro still warmly welcomed his master, and even Nyaotarou ran over to rub Naoki Nagayama's legs.
"Haha, you all have Christmas gifts!"
.......
On Christmas Eve, some people get together at home and eat Christmas dinner; some people play in the streets and go to carnivals... all in a happy and healthy atmosphere.
However, there are young people who just want to have fun and have fun...for example, four college students...
"Tsuruko, do we really want to watch "Midnight Bell 2"?" Ishii Junsui timidly pulled Nagayama Tsuruko's sleeves, "It's scary!"
Tsuruko, who was leading the way, looked fearless:
"What are you afraid of? Knowing that Sadako is a figment of Bagani-chan, the feeling of fear is reduced by half!"
"But in the first movie, weren't you too scared to go to the bathroom at night?!" Junsui Ishii still remembers that Tsuruko almost cried when her brother called her.
"That's all in the past!" Tsuruko couldn't help but pointed at the two seniors following behind him and said, "This time there are two of them!"
"It happened last time too..." Junsui Ishii said.
Tsuruko had to use his arms to pull Ishii Junsui closer, and then whispered: "Junsui-chan, don't you want to get closer to Iwai-senpai!"
"Eh...this..."
"Then stop talking nonsense!" After Hezi let go of his best friend, he turned around and pulled his boyfriend Kaneda Dalu, "Lu Jun, let's go buy tickets!"
"Um!"
Kaneda Dalu responded lovingly. He and Tsuruko were in the period of passionate love now, and he would agree even if his girlfriend wanted to reach for the stars.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The four of them found a small movie theater near the university town. It was not as exaggerated as the art theater, but the large posters also exaggerated a somewhat scary atmosphere.
After arriving at the screening room, Tsuruko found that there were actually a lot of people watching, and they were all young people~
"Well, it seems more courageous when there are more people..." She pushed Junsui towards Iwai Daiyo, "Iwai-senpai, take good care of Junsui-chan! She will get into other people's arms when she gets scared!"
"You are the one!" Ishii Junsui countered in shame.
"Haha~"
As the lights in the screening room dim, the movie is about to begin...
Immediately following the ending of the previous part, Sadako's body was found, but forensic identification showed that the body had died not long ago, which means that Sadako had lived in the dry well for more than thirty years!
The police had to bring Izu Oshima's relatives to identify the body...
Then, there is the long hair in the morgue...
The twisted limbs, the white shadow outside the window, the dark shadow in the mirror, the weird smile in the photo...
As the plot progresses, amid constant panic, the protagonist gradually uncovers the truth about Sadako who has been sleeping for thirty years.
The audience in the screening hall also kept screaming as the plot began, and from time to time there were gasps and screams~
"ah!"
Ishii Junguo really fell into the arms of Iwai Daiyo.
"!"
Tsuruko controlled himself not to scream, but he hugged Kaneda Dalu's arms~
Some of the more timid people even closed their eyes tightly, not daring to look further...but after a while they secretly opened a gap...
The more scared you are, the more you want to watch it. This is the charm of horror movies!
At the end of this year, Sadako appeared in front of the neon people again, leaving countless people sleepless at night...
........
It was close to early morning, in the living room of Yamasakura-in.
Nagayama Naoki has already set up a small projector and speakers, and even installed a remotely retractable curtain on the wall. It is completely a mini home theater!
While Naoki Nagayama was still debugging, Akina Nakamori, who had taken a shower and was wearing pajamas, came to the living room with a thin quilt and placed it on the sofa.
"Naoki-san, are you okay?"
"Okay!" Nagayama Naoki turned around and was happy to see Akina's dress, "Has Akina even taken a shower?"
"Of course, after watching the movie, you might not dare to take a shower alone!" Akina Nakamori said with a very smart look, "This way, after watching the movie, you can go back to bed directly!"
"...I can take a bath with Akina!" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile.
"Hmph!" Nakamori Akina rolled her eyes, "After watching the horror movie, Naoki-san can still talk about it!"
"..."
Alas! I filmed the first one!
The lights in the living room were turned off and the projector started to work. When Naoki Nagayama sat on the sofa, Akina put the thin quilt on Naoki Nagayama and leaned over.
The fragrance of light vapor lingers on the tip of the nose, and the smell is delicious and charming; the hair that has just been blown across the neck sweeps across the neck, teasing people's hearts; not to mention the warm and soft body, which makes people just want to hold it in their arms~
"Naoki-san! Don't touch it!"
Nakamori Akina held down her boyfriend's big hand, her face could not be seen clearly in the dimness, only her breathing was slightly rapid,
"Watching a movie!"
"Oh...Okay~"
Naoki Nagayama regretted why he was so excited to watch horror movies with Akina at home...
What’s so good about horror movies! I’ve already eaten up all the Akina, and there’s no need to go any further!
It's better to watch a romantic action movie and learn some knowledge!
