084, Naoki-kun doesn't seem to be very old, but he's surprisingly good at it

Facing this strange old man, Nagayama Naoki had to reply.

"Private Marseille, I don't have this idea at the moment."

"Eh? You really don't want to think about it? To be honest, your conditions are very advantageous in the industry." The old man did not give up, "I also handed over a business card. If you change your mind, you can contact me~"

Naoki Nagayama took a look and saw that the business card clearly said Shochiku Pictures, director Masaki Kobayashi. It turned out he was a director.

After accepting the business card, he said thank you: "Arigado, please contact me if you need me."

Then he seemed to feel that everyone else had already handed them their business cards, so it would be rude not to introduce him: "Arnold, my name is Naoki Nagayama. It's a bit rude, but I don't have a business card to exchange for the time being."

Kobayashi Masaki watched Nagayama Naoki calmly accept the business card, and after introducing himself, he suddenly laughed again as if he had thought of some joke: "It turns out to be Naoki-kun, his name is similar to mine~

It seems like he is not from the entertainment industry!"

?What’s so funny about this? I’m afraid there’s something wrong with this old man...

Kobayashi Masaki, who had been foolishly amused in Nagayama Naoki's eyes for a while, seemed to be more interested in him and started to find topics to chat with.

"Does Naoki-kun know anyone from the "Hokusai Comics" team?"

"Hi, I'm friends with the lead actor, so I was invited to watch the preview."

"Oh? It shouldn't be Kensang-san and Toshiyuki-san. There must be a generation gap at such an old age~"

Masaki Kobayashi seemed to be playing a detective game,

"Then it's the female lead, Miss Yuko Tanaka or Miss Konanko Higuchi?"

"...all friends."

Masaki Kobayashi looked like a kid, you're a dick: "Naoki-kun looks young, surprisingly he's very good at it..."

Naoki Nagayama didn’t want to talk anymore.

.....

At this time, the interview activity on the stage began. Following the host's command, the creative team expressed some opinions one after another.

Higuchi Kanako was also in front, and she answered several questions very appropriately. If I didn't know it was prepared in advance, I would have thought it was the actor's true feelings.

After a brief interview, the movie screening began.

"Hokusai Comics" tells the life of RB Ukiyo-e master Katsushika Hokusai. From becoming the stepson of a mirror grinder to the final master of painting, his life was ups and downs and colorful. The film also contains the director's views on life.

philosophical thinking.

Nearly 2 hours passed by in a flash, and the old man next to me was very focused while watching the movie and didn't make any more risqué remarks.

But as soon as the movie ended, Naoki Nagayama began to harass him again: "Does Naoki-kun know Katsushika Hokusai's paintings?"

"Private Marseille, I haven't paid much attention to it. I know some of the more famous ones. For example, "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" is very famous.

I often see certain works, but in this movie I found out that it is the work of Katsushika Hokusai."

"Eh? Naoki-kun, aren't you also interested in traditional culture?"

"Um...I can't say I'm not interested. I'll pay more attention to someone I like. That's probably it..."

"What about Bushido? What do Naoki-kun think of Bushido?"

"I think this should be looked at separately. The spirit of bushido should also be a process of continuous evolution. Those progressive ideas are good, knowing loyalty and morality, protecting one's beliefs, etc., and should be encouraged; and those dross,

Such thoughts as being brave, ruthless, and indiscriminately violent should be abandoned."

"Eh? So what should we do if we encounter a dilemma? Pursue loyalty and kill good people under the orders of the emperor. Should a samurai maintain loyalty or justice?"

"If you can ask such a question, the samurai already has the answer in his mind. What is the difference between a samurai who blindly obeys orders and a hunting dog raised by a rich man?"

"This metaphor...Suga, is it like this? Naoki-kun is indeed a young man of the new era~"

The Bushido of the Showa era has almost become synonymous with Yakuza culture. Even in big cities like Tokyo, the Yamaguchi-gumi in the Sankai area is rampant.

Even if he avoids these places intentionally or unintentionally, Naoki Nagayama can still find that gangster culture is deeply rooted in rb culture.

Sigh... My grandfather's underworld background has always been a surprise.

I don’t know that Nagayama Naoki’s words touched the old man a little bit, but he seemed very silent during the activities after the preview.

It wasn't until the show was about to end that he regained his energy: "It's a pity, I have a party after the preview, otherwise I would have wanted to have a drink with Naoki-kun and talk more~"

Nagayama Naoki wished he could stay away from this old man, but he couldn't be too rude: "Old sir, that's how things are in the world, but if we are destined, we will meet again next time. Let's have a drink then~"

"Haha, why do you look more like an old man at such a young age than me..." The old man was also very free and easy, "Then it's settled, we'll have a drink next time we meet, hahahaha, bye~"

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the exit. It seemed that there were a few older people waving at him.

Nagayama Naoki breathed a sigh of relief, the troublesome guy was finally gone.

He also stood up and walked towards the two female leads at the door. He had finished watching the movie and planned to say goodbye and go home.

"Yuko-san, Kananzi-san, it's a great movie."

"Haha, do Naoki-san think it's good too? Arigado~" Higuchi Kananko responded with a smile.

"The crew members should have a dinner party next~" Nagayama Naoki looked at the staff gathered in the lobby, probably waiting for the bus.

"Yes, the director invites everyone to sing."

"That's it, then Nanzi-san, thank you for letting me watch such a good movie today." Nagayama Naoki said, "I'll take my leave first~"

"Hey, I was thinking of singing together~"

"Haha, I'm an outsider so I won't join in."

After Nagayama Naoki declined politely, he turned to Tanaka Yuko: "Yuko-san, remember to return the novel to me after reading it, otherwise I will come to harass you~"

"I know, you guy! Give me the phone quickly." Tanaka Yuko rolled her eyes.

"Haha, remind you~"

Higuchi Kananko still doesn’t know about the novel: “What novel?”

"On the way here, Ms. Yuko was fascinated by the novel I put in the car, and she didn't want to let it go even when she got off the car~" Naoki Nagayama joked, "There was nothing I could do, so I lent the book to her~"

"Naoki-san~~!" Tanaka Yuko's face bulged again.

"Hahaha, let's not talk anymore~ Then I'll leave first, bye~"

...

On the other side, several big directors in the industry were chatting,

Shinoda Masahiro saw Kobayashi Masaki in a good mood and asked:

"Masaki-san, did something good happen? You seem to be in a good mood."

"It's a good thing. I met a very interesting young man today."

"Oh? A junior in the company?"

"No, it doesn't seem like he's from the entertainment industry."

"Eh?"

“I heard a lot of interesting points from him.”
