This is not the first time Naoki Nagayama has come to his ancestral home in Qingshui City, and he is already familiar with it.
But this time, I actually saw four people on duty at the door... In the past, there were only two people at most, but sometimes there was no one at all~
"What's going on? Did something big happen at my grandfather's house?"
Nagayama Naoki parked the car at the door and walked towards the door.
"You kid! What are you doing here?!" A big man at the gate asked angrily after seeing Nagayama Naoki.
Nagayama Naoki was stunned by this question, "You don't know me?"
"Do I have to know you? Are you a famous celebrity? Or a great writer?" The guy laughed, and then said disdainfully, "Do you know where this is! Yamaguchi-gumi!!!"
"...."
After taking a serious look at the guy with a fierce look on his face, Naoki Nagayama confirmed that he had never seen him before and was a bit stupid...
However, the guy at the door felt a little unhappy when he saw Nagayama Naoki "staring" at him. He was very sorry for his appearance, and usually hated pretty pretty boys:
"What are you looking at? Boy, you are very arrogant! I think you are quite good-looking. Believe it or not, I will sell you to the Cowherd's shop!"
"... Are you so casual about accepting younger brothers now..." Naoki Nagayama shook his head, "What's your name?!"
"Ah?"
The three guys next to him were all watching the fun, and this guy rolled up his sleeves and wanted to teach the pretty boy in front of him a lesson.
But the movement at the door had already attracted the attention of the leader Shogo Hanada. He walked out of the guard room next to him and his expression changed when he saw Naoki Nagayama:
"Boss Naoki!"
As he said that, he pushed the few people at the door away.
"Why are you here?"
"I was filming a TV series in Shizuoka during this period, and I happened to come over to visit my grandfather..." Nagayama Naoki shrugged, "Then I was stopped by the...'Four King Kong's" at the door...
..”
"Private Marseille, these are the younger brothers who have just been adopted. They have never met the boss Naoki!"
Hanada Shogo slapped the guy who spoke first,
"Look clearly, this is the team leader's grandson, Naoki Nagayama! Bow down and apologize!!!"
"Hi!" X4...a 90-degree bow!
Nagayama Naoki looked at the few people who bowed their heads, asked them to stand up straight, and then asked the first guy:
"May I have your name?"
"...Zhi...Boss Naoki, my name is Yuan Hongdou!" Yuan Hongdou's face turned red, and his already apologetic face became even more ugly...
"Oh...to answer your question..." Naoki Nagayama said, "I am indeed a celebrity and a well-known writer..."
"Also, if you are guarding the door in the future, don't look down on others! That will disgrace your grandfather, do you understand?"
Nagayama Naoki spoke in a calm tone, but Yuan Hongdou and the other gatekeepers felt great pressure and could only bow again:
"....Hi!!! We got it!!! Private Marseille!!!"
Shaking his head, Nagayama Naoki greeted the embarrassed Hanada Shogo and walked inside, and then asked curiously:
"Hanada-san, I remember that my hometown sent a lot of people to Tokyo? Why do I feel like there are more people?"
"Naoki-san is talking about the guys who go to Boss Kaede's KTV, right?!"
Hanada Shogo's tone was a little envious,
"Those guys are enjoying themselves in Tokyo. Now every time they come back during holidays, they always wear gold and silver, fancy cars and watches... and they also bring many gifts to their families..."
"Some guys even brought their girlfriends back from Tokyo... and built new houses..."
“He was very smart when he invited us to dinner, and the cigarettes he gave out were all brand-name products...”
The more I listen to Nagayama Naoki, the more I have a sense of déjà vu. Doesn’t it look like someone from mainland China who went to Shenzhen, Hong Kong and other places to make a fortune in the 1980s and 1990s and then came back?
As the saying goes, wealth does not return to its hometown, just like walking in brocade clothes at night.
Those guys were also wearing colorful suits, black leather shoes, big sunglasses, and BB cameras strapped to their waists. They brought bags of gifts every time they came back, and some even drove cars...
Every time it can arouse a burst of envy from people staying in my hometown... and cause the children to yell...
"Then what?" What does this have to do with the large number of people in the Yongshan Group?
"So many people have seen it..." Hanada Shogo scratched the top of his head, "So everyone is spreading the word that you can make a lot of money by joining the Nagayama Group..."
"Hahaha~"
Naoki Nagayama understood, so many people asked to join in, right~
Although at the beginning, Nagayama Naoki's idea was to clear his grandfather's Nagayama group, he has also seen in recent years that his grandfather had the idea of clearing his name, but his uncle Nagayama Kumahara really wanted to
He wants to be the boss of the Yakuza...so he has been expanding the power of the Nagayama Group.
So now the operation of KTV is actually completely hosted by Brother Feng. Otherwise, with the profitability of KTV, my grandfather would have been allin long ago~
However, Nagayama Naoki will not say anything about his uncle's actions now. After all, it is someone else's life and should be decided by himself. Anyway, Nagayama Kaede already has a way out.
"But the newly recruited younger brother still needs to be taught a good lesson!" Nagayama Naoki said, "Don't be so rude..."
"Hey, I'll teach them a lesson!"
Hanada Shougo nodded, as the younger brother, this is his responsibility!
........
The journey to the study was quickly reached. After Naoki Nagayama thanked Hanada Shogo, he opened the door and walked in.
In front of the tatami by the window, my grandfather, wearing loose Wufu, was sitting cross-legged on a futon, reading a book, and there was a pot of tea on the small coffee table in front of him... He looked very polite.
....
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Grandpa... Why are you reading a book every time I come here..." Nagayama Naoki casually sat down across from him and asked with a smile.
He asked, "Did you know that I was here so you pretended to love reading?"
"..." After hearing this, my grandfather Hayato Nagayama was obviously shaken, and then he sighed and put the book on the coffee table, "Naoki, you guy... you are not big or small.
!”
In fact, he really doesn't like reading very much. He only reads some novels and the like... After all, those who have been in the Yakuza since childhood, who are the most knowledgeable?
But now, for some reason, one of his grandsons has turned into a great writer... This makes him think that reading should be in his blood... So he is always in front of Naoki Nagayama.
It needs to be installed...
I also owe a lot to your writing talent...probably because you want to convey this kind of attitude...
"Hahaha~"
Nagayama Naoki smiled happily. As his career became more and more successful, and perhaps because his grandfather was getting older, there was not much left of the seriousness and awe he had when they first met.
"Are you going to shoot a TV series in Shizuoka this time?" Hayato Nagayama asked.
"Well, a TV series called "Midnight Diner" is based on the theme of my father's izakaya." Naoki Nagayama took a sip of herbal tea and "filmed the bond between diners and chefs..."
"Diners and chefs?" Grandfather's face showed disgust, "What's so good about this?"
"Why not? In the busy and stressful daily life, the late-night cafeteria is actually a rare place to relax!" Naoki Nagayama explained, "There will be many people who want to come here to have a delicious meal after a day!
"
"...it's better to drink..."
Hayato Nagayama shook his head and expressed that he could not understand, while Naoki Nagayama did not explain too much. People of the older generation are always somewhat resistant to the new culture.
So I turned around and talked about other things, including Nagayama Kaede's life in Tokyo...
"By the way, has Brother Feng brought Xinhai-chan back to see my grandfather?"
"Not yet..." Hayato Nagayama seemed a little worried, "Does that little girl know that my family is the Yakuza?"
At this time, Hayato Nagayama is more like a grandfather who is worried about the marriage of his children and grandchildren~
"This... you should know..."
After all, even if Kaede Nagayama didn't explain it specifically, there were so many tattooed men in the KTV, and Shinkai Ishida should have discovered it by himself.
"I hope there won't be any problems because of family background..." Hayato Nagayama paused and looked at Naoki Nagayama, "What about you, Naoki?"
"I?"
"Does your celebrity girlfriend know?"
"Ah, of course Akina knows..." Naoki Nagayama said, "I didn't hide it."
"That's good..." Hayato Nagayama paused, looking forward to it, "Then...when will I bring you over for a look?"
Nagayama Naoki thought for a while:
"When I get to my grandfather's side, it should be before we get married...I haven't proposed yet~"
"That's it..."
Hayato Nagayama nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
In Neon, in fact, grandparents rarely interfere with the marriage of their grandchildren. If some live with their children, they will meet them when they meet their parents. For those who have separated, they will meet them for the first time at the wedding banquet.
It's also very common for newcomers.
Skimming over this topic, Naoki Nagayama talked about some recent plans, including the Tokyo International Film Festival, etc., so that his grandfather could understand his career development, and also talked about Tsuruko's situation in Tokyo~
After staying in the small study for almost two hours, my mouth is dry...
Seeing that it was getting late, Nagayama Naoki was thinking about when to leave, but saw his grandfather asking a little shyly:
"Naoki, you made a TV series about your father's izakaya..."
"Um, we haven't started filming yet~"
"That's what I mean... Since you can use izakaya as a theme..." Hayato Nagayama's tone was a little excited, "Is it possible to use the history of our Nagayama group as a creative theme...
...filming a movie or TV series?!"
Hayato Nagayama has actually had this idea for a long time. After all, his own grandson is a well-known writer and director... If he can create a novel or make a movie based on the theme of the Nagayama-gumi... then he
Doesn’t Hayato Nagayama want to leave his name in history?!
At this time, what popped up in Hayato Nagayama's head was "The Story of a National Thief", which tells the story of Saito Douzan's rise from an oil seller to a daimyo, "Miyamoto Musashi", a fitness story about wandering around the world with a lone sword during the Warring States Period, and "Kagemusha"
” and “Seven Samurai”…
"..." Naoki Nagayama was shocked by his grandfather's idea, "Grandpa, do you want to make yourself the protagonist?"
"Ahem...Actually, my experience seems legendary to others!"
While speaking modest words, he roared in his heart:
“Why can’t there be a movie called Hayato?!!
Naoki, my dear grandson, shoot quickly! Shoot quickly!!! Grandpa wants to make a movie too!!"
"Hahaha~"
Nagayama Naoki laughed again. Since ancient times, every prince, general and minister has the desire to leave a name in history...Sheng Dou and ordinary people also have it, but they don't have the ability~
"Naoki!" Hayato Nagayama made a serious face, and his wrinkled old face turned a little red.
However, he still couldn't say anything scolding, but asked with some expectation, "Do you think it can be filmed?"
"Well..." Nagayama Naoki thought for a moment, "Actually, it's not impossible..."
After all, "The Godfather" has already been filmed abroad, so it's not impossible to make a neon version... And neon also has many Yakuza-themed movies...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If you just shoot a family documentary for the pleasure of your grandfather, then it is easy to do...but if you want to sell it, there are some problems.
.....
"Grandpa, if you want to make a movie based on your grandfather, a realistic movie will be fine..." Naoki Nagayama said, "However, if you want to be a big hit, there will probably be an adaptation or a magical transformation...
.”
"It's just a drama. The plot may be fictional or something like that... So can my grandfather accept it?"
Hayato Nagayama naturally had no problem and nodded repeatedly:
"As long as the background is the Nagayama family, there will be no problem! (It would be even better if the protagonist's name is Hayato Nagayama!)"
"That's okay..."
Naoki Nagayama thought for a while,
"Grandpa, please prepare some information or record photos. I will take the time to come over and talk to my grandfather about the past history of the Yongshan Group in the past few days to create a script..."
“We can’t start filming until the script is written~”
"Okay, okay!" Grandfather Hayato Nagayama had no problem at all, and said very diligently, "If we need to use the venue then, there will definitely be no problem!!! If we use people, anyone from the Nagayama group can use it, even Xiong Yuan.
Boy, there’s no problem!”
"That's even better!"
Nagayama Naoki also smiled and nodded. In fact, when well-known directors shoot Yakuza films, the Yakuza are very cooperative... After all, the Yakuza also want to be famous...
I heard that when Jackie Chan was filming "Shinjuku Incident", the local Yakuza closed roads to support him!
.......
In this way, when I came to visit my grandfather at his ancestral home in Qingshui City, I found a mission for myself...
Nagayama Naoki felt a little funny when he drove back~
After returning to the old house, he saw his mother preparing dinner. Naoki Nagayama was not in a hurry to go to the crew. The filming would not start until after 9 o'clock.
After stroking the dog's head for a while, he returned to the bedroom, took out the notebook in the drawer after a long absence, and began to sort it out.
"Yakuza movie? What kind of movie will be a big hit?"
""The Godfather" is very good, but in the neon culture, is it a little acclimated? The same goes for "The Irishman"..."
"Then what if we switch to a Hong Kong film..."Po Hao"? "Infernal Affairs"? It doesn't seem to be very suitable..."
""City of God"? There are no gun battles...Neon doesn't use guns..."
""The Ultimate Way Is Not Evil"? You're not trying to steal Kitano Takeshi's luck again, are you?! We're all old friends, I'm a little embarrassed..."
The names of famous gangster movies appeared on the blank notebook. He had watched them all, and Naoki Nagayama was deeply impressed. He could recall all the contents with a little effort...
But it seems like every one is missing something...
Moreover, these gangster movies all use guns. The use of guns seems inconsistent with the situation of my grandfather's generation...
"Is there any yakuza movie that doesn't use guns, is very violent, and is good to watch..."
