"Really? I went to the gym and ran for more than an hour?!"
When he heard the assistant's report the next day, Yoshimura Otomo opened his mouth wide and his eyes were full of disbelief.
"And then call people back to record?"
"Hey, I heard that after warming up, I jog for half an hour, then run fast for ten minutes, and then I come back immediately."
Assistant Ochiai Yoshie is also a bit of a gossip, and she talks vividly,
"I heard that when I sang for the first time, I was sweating profusely and couldn't breathe... just to find that feeling... of the heart beating violently..."
Ochiai Kitae vividly shared the description he heard. There is no doubt that this first scene description comes from Onodera's heart...
"This...is too shameful...how can an artist be so disrespectful..." Yoshimura Otomo suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth and pretended to reprimand him a few times.
And when Ochiai Yosoe walked out of the office, he still couldn't help but laugh... He knew that when Naoki Nagayama went to record a record, something would always happen.
He took his little girl for a run on a hot day and said he was looking for the feeling of his heart beating violently. If it had been anyone else, there might have been rumors of child abuse...
"This guy Naoki-san... Shizuka-chan will probably be scared when she sees him in the future!"
No matter how this kind of strange news spreads in the company, the recording work of "I Really Want to Say I Love You Loud" has finally come to a successful conclusion... In addition, after a few days of editing, Naoki Nagayama's "Late Night"
The first episode of "Canteen" has been edited.
So today I went directly to the headquarters of TV Tokyo, next to Shiba Park where Tokyo Tower is located~
"Naoki-san!"
Kotaro Sakai, director of the TV Tokyo production bureau, immediately walked to the lobby to greet him after being notified by the front desk.
"haven't seen you for a long time....."
"Haha, so I'm here now~"
Naoki Nagayama smiled and shook hands, and followed Kotaro Sakai to the reception room. The refreshing cool air swept away some of the sultry heat in the morning.
"Naoki-san has been very popular recently~" Kotaro Sakai smiled, "When you came in, were you noticed by the paparazzi who were waiting for you?"
"There should be..."
Naoki Nagayama shrugged, the engagement was getting hot and Akina Nakamori was on tour, so the eyes and ears of the Tokyo media were naturally targeting him.
Anyway, when the convertible came in, several paparazzi seemed to have raised their cameras~
"Then be careful when you go out, you may be blocked." Kotaro Sakai said with a smile. This kind of thing always happens in front of the TV station. He is used to it. "If you need the cooperation of the TV station, please don't be polite."
"
"Haha, I can~"
The two chatted for a while and finally got down to the business of the day.
"Director Sakai, this is the first episode of "Midnight Diner"~" Naoki Nagayama handed over the videotape, "Director Sakai, please review it."
"There must be nothing wrong with Naoki-san's works!"
It was a nice thing to say, but Kotaro Sakai immediately took Naoki Nagayama to the place where the screening could be performed, and then called all the key members of the production bureau over to watch it together.
Maybe it's because it's almost noon and everyone has almost finished their breakfast. Seeing the food preparation on the screen and hearing the sound of sausages sizzling on the grease, everyone seems to be wondering about the aroma of the grease...
....
Some people couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then looked around with some embarrassment~
As the screening progresses, evocative and warm little stories are told, as if there really is such a warm little canteen in the middle of the night... In the dead of night, it will satisfy your stomach and warm you.
your heart.
The series is not long to begin with, but by the end of the screening, some people were still a little dissatisfied:
"Isn't there any more?"
"It's just time to have a slow meal!" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "This is the so-called 'dining drama'!"
Kotaro Sakai nodded and seemed to confirm the label. He turned to ask the other people:
"Mina-san, what do you think of "Late Night Diner"?"
Someone said with a smile: "I'm hungry...the dishes here seem to have never been seen in other izakayas~"
"Yes, I want to try the octopus sausage~" "The sweet tamagoyaki seems to be good too..."
“When you’re hungry, of course you should go for rich-flavored pasta!”
All of a sudden, people in the screening room began to discuss where to go for lunch~
"You guys!" Kotaro Sakai patted the table, "Let me discuss this TV series carefully!"
This focused everyone's attention, but the content of the discussion was also very similar:
"If I'm hungry or lonely at night, I'd also like to watch a TV series like this~"
Therefore, the TV series "Midnight Diner" passed the test so easily... After everyone else left, Kotaro Sakai asked:
"Naoki-san, is there only the first episode now? When will the rest be edited?"
"Three episodes of material have been shot so far, and it will probably take two days to edit it~" Naoki Nagayama said, "At the same time, filming is still going on in Shizuoka, and it is expected that one episode will be shot every week without any problem!"
"That's good~" Kotaro Sakai nodded, "Then we will start arranging the broadcast time and advance publicity."
"Hi! From now on, we will send someone to deliver the latest episodes every week!"
"That's the best~"
After talking about the business, it was already dinner time, and Kotaro Sakai did not hesitate:
"Naoki-san, in order to celebrate the smooth cooperation, let's go have a drink together!"
"Eh? I'll go at noon, is that okay?"
"no problem!"
Kotaro Sakai smiled and pulled Naoki Nagayama out. As one of the five major neon TV stations, TV TOKYO will not be short of such entertainment money no matter what!
........
........
When we returned to Yamasakura-in again, it was almost evening.
Nagayama Naoki got out of the taxi, opened the door with the key, and walked into the low-key and restrained Yamazakura-in.
Looking at the mansion building shaded by green bamboos, as well as the flowers and landscape pool in the yard, Naoki Nagayama felt quite emotional...
"Obviously the Sakura-in Temple has been renovated, but I seem to spend less time here..."
Drinking with people from TV Tokyo, the alcohol was nothing to Naoki Nagayama, and he is still sober now...but he is still a little tipsy.
I poured a glass of water, drank it in small sips on the sofa in the living room, then collapsed on the sofa and began to think.
I have several plans for returning to Tokyo this time:
The first is to edit and deliver "Late Night Diner", the second is to record "I Want to Say I Love You Loud", and the third is to prepare for the Tokyo International Film Festival...
Looking at it this way, I feel like I’ve already finished all my thoughts!
Ah, yes, I also made an additional question to determine the heroine of "101 Proposals"...
"It seems... nothing's wrong?!"
Nagayama Naoki is quite happy that a primary school student is going on summer vacation. It seems that after the final exam is completed, it is time to have crazy fun!!
As for summer vacation homework and the like, what the hell is that? No fool would do it! The teacher doesn't even look at it when you submit it at the beginning of school, and just sell it as scrap...
"So... can I start getting high?!" Nagayama Naoki was about to move...
"Where to play? Who to play with? What to play?" where, who, what...
Then Nagayama Naoki discovered that he seemed to have no interest in nightclubs, clubs and other pastimes... Anyway, it seemed that every time he went there, he would listen to music and drink... So that's okay
Might as well be in your own bar at home...
Oh...you mean little sister?
That's not impossible...
He reached for the phone next to him and dialed quickly:
"Brother Feng? Come out to have fun at night! If you don't want to go to your KTV, let's find a newly opened nightclub!"
"Okay, then it's settled, you can also call one or two friends!"
"Uh huh huh!"
In this way, Naoki Nagayama reached an indescribable agreement with someone~
"However, I drank at noon...it seems I can't drive at night..." Nagayama Naoki thought of this problem, then clapped his hands, "By the way, I have a full-time driver! !!Let me find his phone number... His name is Toda Chian, right!"
........
Even in the hot summer, the temperature is not that high at night.
People who have been stuck in their rooms all day due to the hot weather finally start to come out for fun at night~
The elderly people strolled in the parks and riversides, while the young men and women headed towards the bustling nightclubs and busy commercial streets... As for the children, they seemed to I'm not afraid of the heat, but I hold the TV in my arms at night...
In a booth at a club in Roppongi, Nagayama Naoki and Nagayama Kaede were drinking and chatting:
"Brother Feng, I didn't see my uncle when I went back this time~"
"Father probably went to Kobe...During this period, he always ran to the headquarters of the Yamaguchi-gumi..." Nagayama Kaede curled his lips, seeming to be a little dissatisfied with his father, "Obviously KTV is like this You’ve made money, why are you still trying to get into the mud of the Jidao!”
Now Yongshan Feng has completed the transition from a gangster to a capitalist. The huge profits from KTV have made him completely look down on the profits he made in the past.
After all, how can such illegal income from pornography, gambling, and drugs be upright and legitimate money that can be used happily?!
Why do all the Yakuza bosses want to clear their names? Is it because they are afraid of being liquidated, betrayed, and defeated in the future?
"Uncle Xiong Yuan has been in the extreme all his life, and he probably won't be able to change for a while~" Nagayama Naoki comforted him. After all, the rise of KTV has only been less than a year or two, and older people can't change for a while. Very normal.
"The next time I go back, I want to have a serious talk with my grandfather. The Yongshan Group can't keep doing this thing!"
Yongshan Feng sighed. The guy who was originally tall and thick now has white skin and high-end clothes. He actually feels like a business boss!
Regarding the "family business" over there, Naoki Nagayama didn't say much, but instead guided the topic to other places:
"By the way, Brother Feng, when I went back this time, my grandfather said he wanted me to make a movie about our family..."
"Our Yongshan family?" Yongshan Feng asked unexpectedly, "What's so good about our family? For more than ten generations, they were all poor people, and at most they were samurai..."
Looking at Nagayama Naoki's teasing expression, Nagayama Kaede finally came to his senses:
"You mean, grandpa wants to make his own movie!!!"
"Hahaha, yes, you didn't expect it!" Nagayama Naoki also laughed.
"Hahaha, I really didn't expect it!" Yongshan Feng laughed heartily, "Grandpa is very ambitious! Naoki, how do you plan to shoot?"
"I've written some outlines for a script..."
Nagayama Naoki told him the general plot of "The New World of Hayato". This story combines the Yakuza, loyalty, betrayal and subjugation, which is very suitable for his taste as a former Yakuza. Nagayama Kaede can listen to it.
He nodded repeatedly.
"It will be wonderful to make a movie like this!" Nagayama Kaede patted Nagayama Naoki on the shoulder and poured him a glass of wine, "Naoki, hurry up and make it! I will definitely go to the cinema to watch it! I will also shout
Go to all the KTV people!”
Naoki Nagayama also had a smile on his face:
"Maybe when it comes out, my grandfather will let everyone in the Nagayama group go see it!"
"Hahaha, it is indeed possible!"
The two brothers kept laughing about this and drank wine as if celebrating.
After a while, Nagayama Naoki asked:
"Speaking of which...if it were to be filmed, who would play the young grandfather would be a problem..."
"Brother Feng...you and my grandfather are carved out of the same mold. If you were to play the role, it would be perfect!" Naoki Nagayama looked at his cousin and said, "I just don't know if you want to continue.
acting?"
"...."
This sentence made Yongshan Feng silent. Do you like acting? Of course!
It was precisely because of the role of Tamao Serizawa that he got his first pot of gold, and then he came to Tokyo from the countryside of Shimizu, Shizuoka... and then he achieved his current achievements by chance.
but.......
"Naoki, have you forgotten? I told you that I would retire after "High School 2"!"
The Yakuza of this era still pay more attention to promises. Since you said this in front of the camera, you actually planned to do it in your heart!
"Hahaha~" Nagayama Naoki patted his cousin on the shoulder, "Brother Feng, you are really not suitable for the entertainment industry!!"
What kind of place is the entertainment industry?!
Only look at traffic, only look at popularity...who cares what you have done or said before?
"Brother Feng, haven't you seen that so many celebrities who said they were retiring have finally come out again!" Nagayama Naoki explained with a smile, "The ones who really retired are those who don't get attention even if they come back.
people!"
For those who are popular, it is impossible to retire... Even an idol like Yamaguchi Momoe who wants to retire will still have reporters at her home decades later
Photographed nearby!
"So...if I start filming again, the media won't criticize me?" Yongshan Feng asked doubtfully.
"Of course not... They will only interview you about the reasons for your re-debut, and then write a few more popular reports..." Nagayama Naoki reassured him, "They are eager for you to make your re-debut.
!”
"Is that so?"
Yong Shanfeng twirled his wine glass and thought about it seriously.
"But I promised Xinhai-chan that I would focus on the company..."
Seeing his cousin's hesitation and expectations, Naoki Nagayama made an excuse for him:
"Can't we just say what my grandfather asked for? It concerns my grandfather's reputation... ah no, the family's reputation!"
In this era, if you say something like family, your wife will definitely agree... Otherwise, she will be said to be an unvirtuous wife... Besides, Ishida Shinkai and Nagayama Kaede have not yet
Getting married!
Yongshan Feng thought for a while and still felt that he wanted to star:
"Then I'll try it!!"
"Hahaha, that's good! No one is more suitable to play the role of a young grandfather than Brother Feng!" Nagayama Naoki nodded and persuaded Brother Feng, so there is no need to play the role of his own eldest brother Aoki!
Both guys did inherit their grandfather's muscular physique...
After making this decision, Nagayama Kaede seemed to have opened a shackles, his mood improved, and he and Nagayama Naoki began to be cool in the club...
I called several ladies who would accompany the drinks, and then the fair-weather friends I contacted also arrived, and everyone started to have a drink while chatting and gossiping~
