Newspapers like "The Yomiuri Shimbun" couldn't help but put Naoki Nagayama's bold words on the headlines of the entertainment section, and the editors of the newspaper even thoughtfully included readers' questions.
"Confidence? Or arrogance?" Akina Nakamori read the newspaper to Naoki Nagayama who was making breakfast, "We'll see in three months!"
"Then we'll see~" Naoki Nagayama turned the bacon over and shrugged to show that he didn't care~
There are even newspapers saying things like sensationalism and arrogance, asking Nagayama Naoki to bow and apologize to the public!
"But these newspapers don't believe Naoki-san! How ignorant! My Naoki-san will definitely win the Palme d'Or!"
The rosy-faced Akina Nakamori put her arms around Naoki Nagayama's waist, like a clingy little goblin...
As expected, girls like dazzling boyfriends. Last night, my girlfriend was so bold that she didn’t even go to the bedroom~
"Hey, hey, hey... the future Palme d'Or winner, it's time to have breakfast~"
Nagayama Naoki nodded perfunctorily and took Akina's hand away from her waist with a straight face. Men are not made of iron after all!
"Hmph~"
Akina Nakamori snorted lightly, and then began to help pass the plates...
She and Nagayama Naoki now take turns cooking. Sometimes Nagayama Naoki has breakfast and dinner is a side dish, and sometimes it's the other way around...
It's a little different from a traditional Japanese family, but in the entertainment industry, which is exposed to a lot of Western culture, this seems to be a trend?!
While eating, Naoki Nagayama continued to read the newspaper.
Being in the headlines again, he was naturally mentally prepared. Moreover, he was not prepared to go on stage to receive the upcoming Blue Ribbon, Mainichi Film Awards and Film Festival Awards in person, otherwise he didn't know what hot topics it would create again.
But he still had to attend the party afterwards. After all, he still had the Palme d'Or ahead of him. He wanted to find as much help as possible... the more friends, the better!
"Naoki-san..." Nakamori Akina bit into the bacon and asked vaguely, "Are the judges of the Palme d'Or very troublesome?"
"Well...I can't say it's too troublesome..." Naoki Nagayama shook his head, "It just depends on whether we can find the right person~"
He has authorized Yoshimura Otomo's budget of one billion yen. Under the gold and dollar offensive, he believes that even the lobbying group running for the president can afford to hire him.
"Is there anything I can do to help?"
Akina Nakamori sat up straight... The person in front of you is the most popular idol at the moment, with tens of millions of fans, and a figure who stands at the top of the entertainment industry!
Naoki Nagayama looked at his girlfriend who wanted to help and thought for a moment.
"Then please Akina, when interacting with fans, please ask them to support "Kikujiro's Summer". It would be better to introduce it to friends abroad... If there are more voices of support, the Palme d'Or will
This will also be taken into consideration during the selection process!”
"Hi!" Nakamori Akina immediately became enthusiastic after hearing this, "I will sincerely ask the fans!"
"Thank you!"
........
The two of them finished breakfast easily, and Akina Nakamori stayed for a while before continuing to go to the office.
A new album is about to be released, promotional materials, production of music and costumes... all kinds of complicated things need to be pushed forward, especially after Akina becomes more and more involved in record production.
Naoki Nagayama here, after resting for a while, went out and walked towards Shogakukan - the trial version of "Paradise Lost" has been released!!!
When I went out this time, I didn't take Yutaro with me, and I didn't go directly to the Shogakukan headquarters. Instead, I found a coffee shop nearby.
When Nagayama Naoki arrived, he saw Kuniji Morikawa wearing a pair of sunglasses and a turtleneck trench coat sitting in a cafe reading a magazine... Is this disguise?
"Kuniji-san...what are you doing?" Naoki Nagayama walked up to him and asked curiously.
Kuniji Morikawa quickly pulled Nagayama Naoki to sit down and said mysteriously:
"Disguise! Naoki-san, don't you want to publish it anonymously? You can't let others know that you wrote "Paradise Lost"!"
"...Didn't you change your pen name?" Nagayama Naoki was speechless, "Besides, if you dress like this in a cafe, others will think you are filming a spy drama!"
As the temperature rises, Naoki Nagayama just wears a loose sweater and a pair of flat glasses, so that people will not recognize him at first glance.
In fact, not many people in Neon would keep staring at strangers around them, especially when others don't do anything extraordinary.
"..."
Kuniji Morikawa subconsciously looked around and saw a lot of surprised eyes, so he quickly took off his coat and sunglasses.
Sure enough, he has become a passerby A, just like the ordinary passerby B next to him, he will not attract too much attention!
"Naoki-san, I brought over the trial printing novel!"
Kuniji Morikawa took out a somewhat plain-looking book from his briefcase, with only the words "Paradise Lost" printed on the cover...and the author is Sato...
"hehe....."
Nagayama Naoki looked at this pen name and smiled. In Neon, it is almost the same as Zhang San and Li Si. It is said that in the future, all Neon may have the surname Sato!
Opening the novel, the texture of the paper is very thick, and the fonts inside are also very clear... However, Naoki Nagayama did not read the content carefully. He believed in Shogakukan's proofreading ability.
Besides, it’s always a bit embarrassing to read Xiao Huang’s book in public.
"Kuniji-san, I think there's no problem...Do the people at Shogakukan have any opinions on this novel?"
Morikawa Kunji shook his head:
"I only showed this novel to the editor-in-chief, Mizushi Matsui. I personally followed up on the subsequent proofreading and printing process, and not many people saw it..."
"Ha, that's really hard work for Bonji-san..." Nagayama Naoki smiled.
"But Naoki-san, although I can understand your anonymous psychology..." Kuniji Morikawa continued, "But the social psychology of human struggle and reaction contained in the novel "Paradise Lost" is indeed very artistic...
..”
"It can be said that it will definitely win the favor of many novel critics!"
Kuniji Morikawa took a sip of coffee,
"If you win, will you still not show up?"
Nagayama Naoki smiled. For his previous novels, except for the first "Summer Garden", which was his first time to receive an award, and "Love in the Sky" which won the Naoki Award, he did not go to any other awards.
Received it.
In fact, Naoki Nagayama has won many awards, big and small... all of which he asked Kuniji Morikawa to help collect.
"Haha, if it is the Akutagawa Prize or the Naoki Prize, I will show up..." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Others... forget it!"
"...."
Kuniji Morikawa looked at the guy in front of him and was filled with emotion... Other authors were vying for the honor, but he abandoned it like a pair of worn-out shoes...
It’s really like drought and drought, and waterlogging and waterlogging!
After talking about the main business, the two of them sat in the coffee shop and started chatting, of course about yesterday's live broadcast of the Academy Awards.
"Naoki-san, do you really have confidence?"
"I'm probably about 50% sure!" Naoki Nagayama didn't hide anything, "But after all, there are too few people from Neon who have won foreign awards..."
Morikawa Bunji paused:
"Naoki-san, have you ever thought about seeking the support of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology?"
"?"
"Speaking of which..." Kuniji Morikawa continued, "Shogakukan also has some friends in the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology..."
Naoki Nagayama listened to the song and understood its elegant meaning, and immediately understood the divine meaning in it. He also understood that he needed to win over all the support he could find!
"Kuniji-san, I heard that a new club has opened in Roppongi... How about I treat you to a treat and invite your friends and we can go experience it together?"
