In the distance of the long highway, the familiar coastal town slowly emerged in the blurred vision.
When Naoki Nagayama returned to his loyal place in Shizuoka, the sound of waves along the entire coast seemed to be calling - Naoki Nagayama returned to his loyal place of Longxing!
"I've been thinking too much lately!"
Shaking his head, Naoki Nagayama shook the strange thoughts out of his mind.
These days, Yamasakura-in may be alone, and people will have many strange thoughts when they are suddenly lonely. This made Nagayama Naoki recall many strange things in the past...including that
Azeroth, a different world that many people dream about.
"Anyway, let's go to my hometown first..."
Naoki Nagayama stepped on the accelerator, and the convertible sports car, which could not show its performance at all in urban Tokyo, roared, and the strong sea breeze pushed Naoki Nagayama forward...
It was now morning. Under the strong sunshine, even the insects that were originally active in the small town had stopped chirping. Only cicadas were found in the woods from time to time to resist the high temperature.
In his old house in Shizuoka, Taro was lazily lying on the floor consuming food with his mouth open and his tongue hanging out...
In the morning, I ate the leftover fried chicken meatballs from last night with overnight rice, plus miso soup. The rich soup and meat made the dog feel extremely happy.
It's been more than half a month since I came to Shizuoka. I eat a lot but don't exercise. I finally live like a wealthy landlord...
At this moment, Taro's ears suddenly heard the familiar sound of an engine. When the convertible parked outside the house, he jumped up and ran towards the door...
"Woof woof woof woof! Woof woof woof! (It's the master! It's the master here!)"
Sure enough, I smelled a familiar smell, saw a familiar figure, and heard a familiar voice:
"Yeah, Taro!!! You miss me so much!"
Nagayama Naoki happily stroked the dog's head and stroked the squirming white dog. He also missed the dog very much.
"You're fat again!!! Sure enough, mother ate too much for you... You should exercise well when you go back!"
"...."
Somehow, Yutaro felt that the excitement just now suddenly cooled down...
After teasing the dog at the door for a while, Nagayama Naoki walked towards the house. After entering the entrance, he saw his mother waiting with a smile on his face, so he quickly handed over the gift bag in his hand:
"Mother, I'm back~"
"Welcome home~" Nagayama Nanako took the bag and led Nagayama Naoki towards the living room. As she walked, she asked, "You are going to film "Midnight Diner" when you come back this time, right?"
"Well, we're almost ready." Nagayama Naoki poured a cup of herbal tea and drank it, "The team is here. Taking advantage of this relatively free time, we will film it quickly... and try to have it on TV in September.
Broadcast."
"September, so fast?" Nagayama Nanako was a little surprised, "Is it so fast to produce a TV series?"
"Haha, almost."
In fact, the main reason is that Nagayama Naoki himself is here and has a template in his head. If other TV stations want to produce TV series, they will need at least one season.
"So when I come back this time, will Naoki live at home? Or will he live with the show crew?" Mother Nanako asked with some anticipation.
"Of course I live at home so close!" Nagayama Naoki said, "My room is still empty, right?"
"Of course~" Mother Nanako smiled even happier.
"Why didn't you see Meowataro?"
"Nyaotaro is much wilder than Cataro. He ran out to play with other cats... He won't come back until evening."
"Oh~~I've become the boss cat~"
After staying in the old house for a while, Naoki Nagayama said by the way who the gift brought from the United States was for, and asked his mother to ask his sister-in-law Kaka Nagayama to come and pick it up in the afternoon or evening.
Then I was going to visit the hotel where the crew was staying and communicate with everyone about the filming situation.
In the evening, I also have to go to the izakaya to explore the situation and arrange the shooting positions and so on.
"Mom, I'm going to discuss the production of the show with the crew first." Naoki Nagayama stood up, "I should wait until very late at night, and I will probably come back with my father."
"Well, you go and do your work~"
Nagayama Nanako was unpacking the high-end cosmetics she brought back from the United States, looking at them with bright eyes...
"..."
As a woman...Although she is older and has never used cosmetics before, her second son always brings back quite high-end cosmetics when he gets rich...
At least my best friend and even my daughter-in-law are eager for it when they come to visit. Why don’t I give it away if I don’t need it?
Nagayama Naoki walked out of the door, leaving behind the dog who wanted to follow:
"I won't take you with me now, wait until I come back in the evening~"
.........
There are no five-star hotels in the small town, only one or two hotels that receive passers-by or overseas travelers all year round.
The program team of "Late Night Diner" rented out an entire hotel as their temporary headquarters.
When Nagayama Naoki arrived at the hotel, the crew had already packed their luggage and were preparing for the shooting with the script~
"Zongsheng-kun~"
A group of people gathered temporarily, but since Souo Matsuo, the "director" of "The Camera Don't Stop", has joined, he naturally became the assistant director second only to Naoki Nagayama in the program team.
"Naoki-san!" Matsuo Souo greeted very respectfully, "We are ready to go to the scene at any time!"
"We have to wait until night to shoot!" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile. He looked around and saw that all the team members were full of energy. "But...it's not impossible to get familiar with it in advance.
On set.”
"Ah, are you going to that izakaya that has been renovated?!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yeah, let's go to an izakaya for lunch together later~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "I'm not bragging, but the Nagayama family's izakaya is in Shizuoka
It’s been open for so many years, but it still tastes great!”
"Hahaha, that's for sure!" "Zhi Shu-san's family business must be fine!" "Absolutely delicious!"
Everyone was flattering and flattering, Naoki Nagayama blushed after hearing this...
At this moment, he also knew in his heart that even if the food he ate for lunch later was pig food, they would still say it was extremely delicious without conscience!
Even the words of praise Naoki Nagayama had thought of for them. If it tastes salty, he would say it goes with rice, if it tastes sour, he would say it is appetizing, if it tastes spicy, he would say it is rich, and if it tastes bitter, he would say it clears the fire...
In Neon, it's even simpler. Just put the food in your mouth and just say "delicious" no matter what!
What does the entertainment world eat? It’s human nature! In short, you can’t hear a single word of truth.
Naoki Nagayama sighed inwardly. In fact, the taste of his father’s izakaya is indeed good~
There was still some time before noon, so in this hotel, Nagayama Naoki first communicated with everyone about the upcoming shooting matters.
A very important point is that they all shot in the middle of the night, so everyone could rest in the hotel during the day. In short, it was officially work time at night.
Seeing that it was almost time, the owner of the hotel even came to ask if he wanted to have lunch in the hotel, so Naoki Nagayama took the crew to the izakaya.
"My izakaya is located near the pier. Actually, it mainly serves people who work around the pier."
Nagayama Naoki led everyone to walk on the familiar streets, chatting animatedly with others as they walked,
"When I was in high school, I would help out when I had time..."
"I have come to this convenience store often before..."
"Haha, Mr. Zongsheng, have you seen that video library? I will also secretly go there to watch movies..."
"Kong Mingjun, when you have free time, you can also take some photos or clips around the small town...then you can make the behind-the-scenes or the opening and closing credits."
After walking for about ten minutes under the sun, and when everyone's heads were sweating, the group finally arrived at an inconspicuous izakaya.
"When night comes, hang up the signboard of 'Midnight Diner'~" Nagayama Naoki said before walking in.
It was lunch time, and there were many people coming to eat in the izakaya, making the restaurant seem a bit lively.
However, the newly installed high-power air conditioner whirred, keeping the temperature inside the store cool, and everyone who came in from outside shivered~
"Welcome... Naoki?"
A large group of people walked in, and Yongshan Aoki naturally noticed them.
"Brother, we are here!" Nagayama Naoki said, "Let's have lunch by the way."
Saying that, Nagayama Naoki poked his head in and said hello to his father, Nagayama Ken, who was busy, and received only a nod...
"Oh, these are all people from the program team! Welcome, welcome~"
Nagayama Aoki warmly welcomed the people from the program team and quickly found a seat for them to sit down. Fortunately, there were many more seats in the refurbishing shop, otherwise ten people suddenly showed up and they might not be able to sit down!
The surrounding diners looked at this group of people curiously. They all knew that a program would be filmed here... and finally saw it today!
After everyone had finished ordering, Naoki Nagayama said to his elder brother who was busy:
"They are just here to check out the location...and they will not come to install the camera until evening..."
"Do we need to prepare in advance?!" The eldest brother Aoki was a little nervous, "Close the store in advance and clean it up?"
"No need...it's pretty good like this..." Nagayama Naoki looked at the cleanliness of the store and said, "It's still very down-to-earth~"
"Then...just watch~"
Nagayama Aoki didn't say much and began to immerse himself in making the set meal.
And Naoki Nagayama here did not go into the kitchen to help, but stayed with the crew members, chatting about the layout of the camera seats, the furnishings in the store, etc.
If he is going to cook, it is a question whether these guys dare to eat~
.......
At this time, across a mountain range from Toyama Prefecture, Akina Nakamori happened to arrive in Aishui City.
It is also a port city, and it is also a small coastal town...holding a concert here is to satisfy fans from all the coastal cities in the north of Shanxi.
Afterwards, Akina Nakamori will go to Fukui Prefecture, then to Aichi Prefecture...which is the closest stop to Shizuoka.
"Akina-chan, how are you?" Akikofusa brought a piece of sushi to the backstage of the concert hall, "Are you hungry?"
"The weather is too hot, I can't eat a little~" Akina Nakamori, who had just arrived by car, was leaning on a chair, drinking cold water and resting, "Fang Ze-san, just put it there for when I get hungry.
Eat again.”
"Hi....."
Akiyuki Fusa also didn't give much advice. Her artist is very stubborn in her performance work, but in her daily life she is quite casual, and she doesn't have the squeamishness of other female artists.
Just as he was about to go out, he heard Akina Nakamori calling him:
"Fusano-san... I'm in Emizu City today, I'll go to Fukui Prefecture tomorrow, and Aichi Prefecture the day after tomorrow... Can I go to Shizuoka the day after tomorrow?"
"... Akina-chan, we have two concerts in Aichi Prefecture, one in Nagoya and one in Toyota City..." Akikofusa said.
"...Does that mean we won't be able to see Naoki-san until the day after tomorrow?"
Akina Nakamori frowned, she hadn't seen her boyfriend for almost a week!
"Well..."
Ming Xingfang thought for a while and told the latest news.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Don't worry Akina-chan. In fact, Shuyou has already contacted the agency because the new "Midnight Diner" is a unit drama, so I thought
We need to arrange for Akina to appear as one of the guests..."
"Tentatively scheduled for August 9th... I was told that the time can be adjusted according to Akina's schedule." Akikofusa added, "Since it is a late-night unit drama, I can shoot it whenever I am in the Kansai area."
"That'll be quick!"
Nakamori Akina became happy, wishing that today was the day, and then immediately took out the pager and wanted to send a message to Nagayama Naoki...
"Um....."
Seeing that nothing happened to him, Akiyuki Futonori was about to exit the lounge. When he closed the door, he saw Akina Nakamori opening the sushi box, taking a piece of sushi and putting it in her mouth.
"Fusano-san?" Maki Ueda came over dragging a large suitcase, "Have you bought lunch for Akina?"
"Well, I'm already eating..." Akikofusa looked at the suitcase, "Is this Akina's singing uniform?"
"Hi... everything I need today is here!" Ueda Maki nodded, "I hope the performance in the afternoon goes well!"
"Definitely!"
Akiko Fusa agreed, and then asked Ueda Maki to enter the rest room.
As for himself, he turned around and walked to the back of the stage, and began to check the equipment used for the afternoon performance for the last time, confirming it one by one with other logistics personnel... to ensure that there were no accidents.
Akina Nakamori's national tour has passed the first few stops, and the performances at each stop were very popular.
"There should be more security personnel..."
Ming Xingfang looked at the staff maintaining order in the club and felt a little weak.
Nowadays, Akina Nakamori is undoubtedly the number one idol. Her popularity and fan loyalty far exceed the second place... There are even fanatical fans who pretend to be staff members and sneak into the backstage just to watch.
Take a look at your idol and say a word...
"The fire escape must be kept clear...you may have to go that way after the performance..."
"The car should also be ready..."
He thought again about what he just said about participating in "Late Night Diner"...
"When we get to Shizuoka, how will we keep it a secret..."
