Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 790

We returned to Tokyo in the evening.
The family's villa in Kyoto was still ruined by Idou Shuichi. Nagayama Naoki recalled the scene when Idou Shuichi was having fun in Hongyuyuan. He played around in all three halls and even touched the stones by the river. There was always a feeling that Hongyuyuan was not clean.
Afterwards, I have to ask the garden keeper to clean it up thoroughly!

Tokyo at this time is full of Christmas atmosphere~
"Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!" Christmas songs filled the streets of the commercial district, colorful lights flickered on the trees along the roadside with the music, and Christmas trees full of gifts were placed in the middle of the shops.
The market is full of elk and snowflake decorations, and various Christmas activities are held. There is also Santa Claus wearing red clothes, a red hat and a big white beard distributing small gifts.
"If I were a kid, I would be very happy." Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Idou walked on the streets of Ikebukuro, looking at everything around them and sighing, "Such a happy and beautiful atmosphere, Shuichi-san, do you think anyone will really come to see the premiere of "Midnight Ring 2" today?"

"That's what we call being unique!" Yitang Xiu said with a smile, "Why are haunted houses always so attractive in places as fun as amusement parks? It's just for the sake of seeking excitement!"

"When people are happy, they tend to be braver, so it's appropriate to watch a horror movie~"

"When you are away for three days, you should look at him with new eyes!"

Naoki Nagayama sighed. He didn't expect Idou Shuichi to come up with such a plausible reason. He nodded with satisfaction.
As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." It must be under my positive influence that Xiuyi-san has developed his own methodology in publicity and promotion!

".I always feel that Naoki-san, you are not praising me." The inexplicable feeling did not stay in Idou Shuichi's mind for too long. He said to Nagayama Naoki, "Naoki-san, let's go quickly, let's go to the art studio to watch the premiere!"

Naoki Nagayama shook his head:
"I'm just going to check out the preparations and then I'll leave. I also need to pick up some custom-made gifts. Do you want me to spend Christmas Eve with a grown man like you?"

"Eh~~~" Idou Shuichi sneered, and then was attracted by the key words, "Customized gift? What is it? Is there any for me?"

".Are you a girl?"

"Gifts, both men and women want them!" Idou Shuichi was still smiling, but suddenly he seemed to think of something and his face suddenly turned horrified, "Christmas gift!!"

Seeing his friend's instantly horrified expression, Naoki Nagayama narrowed his eyes and thought of the reason:
"Hey, Shuichi-san, you didn't prepare Christmas presents for Jiayi-chan and Jiawei-san, did you?"

"Yes!!! I've been busy with editing and previews these days, and I seldom went home! So I forgot about it!" Idou Shuichi asked Nagayama Naoki for help, "Naoki-san, what should I do? How can I fix it!"

"There's no way, there's no hope, just wait to die!!"

Naoki Nagayama is cold and cruel. In this case, if you buy a gift casually, it will be easy to be seen as careless! Especially for his wife and daughter who live together day and night
unless
"Naoki-san, please! Please give me two gifts!" Idou Shuichi grabbed Nagayama Naoki's arm, "According to your habit, the customization you mentioned definitely doesn't mean customizing one piece, right!"

".how do you know?"

Naoki Nagayama has a lot of crystal apples and crystal apple ornaments that he customized. In addition to being Christmas gifts for Akina and his sister, he also plans to give them to some important people as gifts after "Love Century".
"Naoki-san really likes commemorative items, limited editions, and one-of-a-kind items, like cat ear hair accessories and angel bells. Once customized, they must be in plural quantities!"

Yi Tangxiu was very sure of what he said, and he really knew his friend very well.

"So, it must be okay to give me two!"

"Forehead"

As soon as Idou Xiu saw Naoyama Naoki's hesitation, he knew something was going to happen.
"Naoki-san, we've been friends for many years, as close as brothers! You definitely can't stand watching me get scolded by Kaori and hated by Kaori-chan, right!"

"."

To be honest, I still want to see it.
Seeing that friendship could not impress Naoki Nagayama, Shuichi Idou could only use crooked tactics:

"Ahem, Naoki-san. A new club has opened in the port area. I heard there are many foreign ladies. I can chat with them about the exotic scenery."

"Shuuichi-san, who do you think I am?" Nagayama Naoki said righteously, "Remember, I'm giving you this gift out of consideration for our long-standing friendship!"

"Yeah, I remember it!"

While the two were talking, they soon arrived at the literary seat in Ikebukuro.

In the window facing the corner, there is no Christmas tree or Santa Claus statue like other stores. Instead, it is a horror movie scene built in black and white, with a TV in the middle, and a Sadako doll is crawling out of the screen.
Naoki Nagayama took a deep breath and said, "Who is the smart guy who came up with this idea?!"

"Haha, you're scared, right?" Idou Shuichi said proudly, "This is something I came up with together with Watanabe Eiichiro!"

“Is it the same in other cinemas?”

"Of course not, this is a special plan only for Wen Yi Zuo!" Ito Xiuyi said with a smile, "This is a special treatment! I have discussed it with Watanabe Eiichiro, and it is only available to cinemas that have signed an exclusive agreement with us!"

"That's good, that's good." Naoki Nagayama breathed a sigh of relief, his tone complicated, "You two are really a perfect match. It's a surprise that Shuyou can have both of you at the same time."

"Yeah, it's even more exciting inside. Hahaha~"

Shuichi Idou smiled and led Naoki Nagayama into the cinema lobby, which was already filled with posters of "The Ring" and elements from the movie could be seen from time to time.

The old black telephone next to the pillar, the video tapes on the storage rack at the front desk, the dry well prop in the corner of the lobby, the black hair at the door of the screening room
It’s like the haunted house with the theme of “The Ring”!
This is the first time that Naoki Nagayama has not been involved in the promotion of a movie. I didn't expect that the distribution department would let it go so thoroughly. The promotion of this era seems to be in this style, with exaggerated creativity and even more exaggerated props.
It can be said that it gave him an unforgettable "Showa shock"!
"Shuuichi-san, this place can be directly used as the theme park of The Ring~"

"Haha, it's not that exaggerated!"

“I think so.”

Invited reporters and media came one after another, as well as many horror movie fans.
I didn't expect that so many people were attracted by the display outside. There were also many viewers walking in from the street. Every couple who came in seemed to be surprised by the characteristics of the cinema.
Looking at the endless stream of audiences, Shuichi Idou also had a smile on his face.

Naoki Nagayama toured the cinema and chatted with the staff on site. After making sure that there would be no accidents, he prepared to leave.

"Shuuichi-san, I'll go to other theaters to watch it." After all, this is a sequel to a niche horror movie with a big IP, and Naoki Nagayama also wants to understand Tokyo's acceptance. "Go pick up the customized gift on the way. Your share will be left at the company. You can pick it up when you go back tonight!"

"Hey, thank you for your hard work, Naoki-san!"

Shuichi Ido insisted on sticking to the literary and artistic premiere. Although no main creative staff came to attend the media meeting, some small interviews could not be avoided.

They took a taxi for a while. The fares were much higher during the holidays, but Naoki Nagayama didn't care.

It was already dark when we arrived at the glass workshop in Sumida Ward.

"Ah, Naoki-san, I thought you weren't coming!" The store manager Shoji Kazuma breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Naoyama Naoki, "I was about to call you."

"I just came from Kyoto this afternoon, so I'm a little late." Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "Are all the gifts ready?"

“Hey, they’re all there.”

Shoji Kazuma took Nagayama Naoki to the small warehouse and moved out a large box with warning signs such as "fragile" on it.

Naoki Nagayama took out a transparent crystal apple and held it up to examine. Under the light, no matter how it was rotated, the crystal clear apple kept shining, so beautiful that it didn't seem like an ordinary thing.

The following red crystals, green crystals, amethysts, and blue crystals are also very beautiful, and each of them has a pattern-like mark engraved in the inconspicuous corner of the leaves.

There are also much smaller crystal apple pendants, which look cute and beautiful~
“Very good~”

Naoki Nagayama decided to leave the green crystal to Shuichi Idou, the clear crystal to Akina, the blue crystal to Tsuruko, and the others to his acquaintances.
After paying the money readily, the store manager Shoji Kazuma helped wrap it into a gift box with colored paper so that it could be given as a gift.

"Merry Christmas, Naoki-san!" Shoji Kazuma said with a smile as he left.

"Haha, Merry Christmas, but I don't have any presents for you." Naoki Nagayama smiled, "But I can remind you to prepare more transparent crystal apples next year. Glass ones are also fine. They will be popular next year, and you will get rich!"

"Haha, Naoki-san is joking~"

"Believe it or not~"

Naoki Nagayama waved his hand and prepared to go back~
I stopped by Waseda's apartment on the way, and sure enough, Tsuruko was not there. She must have gone out with her boyfriend. Naoki Nagayama put the gifts under the small Christmas tree in the room, and then returned to Yamazakurain alone.

Yingtaro still warmly welcomed his master, and even Miaotaro ran over to rub Naoki Naoki's legs~
"Haha, you all have Christmas presents!"

On Christmas Eve, some people gather at home and eat Christmas dinner; some people play in the streets and visit the carnival. The atmosphere is full of happiness and well-being.

However, some young people just want to have fun and have fun, such as four college students.
"Tsuruko, are we really going to watch The Ring 2?" Ishii Junsui timidly pulled on Nagayama Tsuruko's sleeve, "It's scary, isn't it?"

Tsuruko, who was leading the way, looked fearless:

"What are you afraid of? Knowing that Sadako was made up by Bagani-chan, I feel much less scared now!"

"But in the first film, weren't you also so scared that you didn't dare to go to the bathroom at night?!" Ishii Junsui still remembers that Tsuruko was almost scared to tears by her brother's phone call.

"That's all in the past!" Hezi couldn't hold back her expression, and pointed at the two seniors following behind him and said, "It's these two this time!"

"It happened last time too," Ishii Junsui said.

Tsuruko had to use her arms to pull Iwai Junsui closer, and whispered, "Junsui-chan, don't you want to get closer to Iwai-senpai?"

"Hey, this"

"Then stop talking nonsense!" After letting go of her bestie, Hezi turned around and pulled her boyfriend, Kaneda Dailu, "Mr. Lu, let's go buy the tickets!"

"Ok!"

Kaneda Dairiku replied lovingly, he and Tsuruko were in the passionate period of love right now, and he would agree even if his girlfriend wanted to pick stars.

The four of them found a small movie theater near the university town. It was not as exaggerated as the Art Theater, but the large posters also created a horror atmosphere.

After arriving at the screening room, Hezi discovered that there were actually quite a few people watching the movie, and they were all young people.
"Yeah, she seems to be braver when there are more people around." She pushed Chunshui towards Iwai Dayang, "Iwai-senpai, take good care of Chunshui-chan! If she gets scared, she'll crawl into someone else's arms!"

"You are!" Ishii Junsui retorted in embarrassment.

"Haha~"

As the lights in the theater dim, the movie begins
Immediately following the ending of the previous part, Sadako's body was found, but forensic identification showed that the body had died not long ago, which means that Sadako had lived in the dry well for more than 30 years!

The police had to bring relatives from Izu Oshima to identify the body.
Then, there is the long hair in the morgue
Twisted limbs, white shadows outside the window, black shadows in the mirror, and strange smiles in photos
As the plot progresses, the protagonist gradually uncovers the truth about Sadako, who has been sleeping for thirty years, amid constant fear.

The audience in the screening room also exclaimed as the plot began, and from time to time there were sounds of people gasping for air and screaming.
"what!"

As expected, Ishii Junsui fell into the arms of Iwai Taiyo.

"!"

Tsuruko controlled herself from screaming, but she hugged Kaneda Dairiku's arm.
Some more timid people even closed their eyes tightly, not daring to look any further. But after a while they secretly opened a crack.
The scarier you are, the more you want to watch it; this is the charm of horror movies!
At the end of this year, Sadako once again appeared in front of the Japanese people, making countless people sleepless at night
It was almost dawn, in the living room of Yamazakurain.

Naoki Nagayama has already set up a small projector and speakers, and has installed a remote-controlled retractable screen on the wall, making it a completely mini home theater!

While Naoki Nagayama was still debugging, Akina Nakamori, who had just taken a shower and was wearing pajamas, came to the living room with a thin quilt and placed it on the sofa.

"Naoki-san, are you ready?"

"Alright!" Naoki Nagayama turned around and was delighted to see Akina dressed up, "Akina, have you even taken a bath?"

"Of course, after watching a movie, you might not dare to take a shower alone!" Nakamori Akina said with a very smart look, "This way, after watching the movie, you can go straight back to bed and sleep!"

".I can take a bath with Akina!" Naoki Nagayama said with a smile.

"Humph!" Akina Nakamori rolled her eyes, "After watching the horror movie, Naoki-san can still be bitter!"

"."

Alas! I shot the first one!

The lights in the living room were turned off and the projector started working. When Naoki Nagayama sat on the sofa, Akina draped a thin blanket over Naoki Nagayama and leaned over to him.

The fragrance with a hint of water vapor lingers on the tip of the nose, smelling pleasant and charming; the hair that has just been blown across the neck, stirring people's hearts; not to mention the warm and soft body, making people just want to hold it in their arms~
"Naoki-san! Stop touching me!"

Akina Nakamori held down her boyfriend's evil hand. Her face couldn't be seen in the dim light, only her slightly rapid breathing.
"Watching a movie!"

"Well, okay~"

Naoki Nagayama regretted why he was so excited to watch a horror movie with Akina at home.
What's so good about horror movies! I've already eaten all the Akina, so there's no need to go any further!

It’s better to watch a romantic action movie, at least you can learn something!
Well, it’s purely for learning knowledge!
