Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 857-865, Naoki-san will be in danger in France like this!!

After returning to the 80 Building in Takanawa District, Naoki Nagayama prepared to pack his luggage for his trip to Cannes.

Then in less than five minutes, it was sorted.
Looking at the "travel supplies" that can fit in a backpack, several sets of spare clothes, sunglasses, passport, wallet. Naoki Nagayama fell into deep thought.

"Why do I always feel like there's a lot of stuff when Akina packs it up?" When I went on a trip with Akina before, I had to bring a whole suitcase of stuff, "and nowadays you don't even need to bring a power bank or a charging cable!"

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out, so Naoki Nagayama chose to give up.

Just at this time, Meowtharo ran into the bedroom and curiously looked at what the two-legged beast was doing, and was picked up by Naoki Nagayama:
"Nyanotaro, ah, Nyanotaro, I don't need to send you and Yingtaro back home this time~"

This time, Akina is still working in Tokyo. When she is producing new songs, she can come back every day to take care of these two little ones.

"So, there's no catnip to eat this time~"

Naoki Nagayama stroked Nyanotaro with exquisite technique, and soon the orange cat began to purr.

Then, Inari heard it and ran up to her to compete for her favor. His thick tail made a thumping sound on the floor.

"Hitarou, please protect Akina while I'm away!"

Naoki Nagayama did not show favoritism. He used one hand to stroke the dog and said earnestly,

"I'm not in this family anymore, you are the only male in this family!"

"Meow~~~"

However, Nyanko Taro in his arms let out a cry of dissatisfaction.
"Oh, I forgot, I forgot. It's also Meowtaro. But who told you to meow with your voice pinched? It's a little too feminine."

After teasing for a while, Naoki Nagayama called his mother in the flat.

"Moses, this is the Nagayama family."

"Mother, it's me~" Naoki Nagayama said directly.

"Ah, Naoki." Nagayama Nanako was very happy, "Why did you call back suddenly? Is everything okay?"

"Well, everything is fine, mother. You are fine too? Father, elder brother, sister-in-law, and Ye Cao, are all doing well, right?" Shizuoka has a large family, and Naoki Nagayama always speaks for a long time when greeting them.

"Haha, it's still the same, but the weeds can run around now, and now they talk all day long, like an alarm clock."

Nanako Nagayama shares the daily life of her eldest grandson. Now Nagayama Yesao is almost two years old. He is very active and lively and wants to touch everything.

He talked a lot at once, but Naoki Nagayama just listened quietly, nodded and smiled from time to time.
"Ah, I accidentally talked for so long~" After realizing what was happening, Nagayama Nanako apologized a little embarrassedly, and then asked, "Naoki, how is Akina-chan now?"

"Akina is preparing a new song and is very busy every day now."

Naoki Nagayama talked about the current situation between himself and Akina Nakamori, and then finally got down to business.
"I called home today just to let you know that I will be going abroad tomorrow to attend the Cannes Film Festival."

"Cannes Film Festival?" Nagayama Nanako didn't know much about it. She only knew it was a term she had heard before. "Where is it?"

"France."

"I see." Nanako seemed to understand, but she knew it was a very important event. She didn't know what to say for a moment. "Then if you go abroad, you must eat well, sleep well, and take care of yourself."

"Hey, I will~"

Naoki Nagayama nodded and continued to listen to his mother's nagging for a while, and then said goodbye and hung up the phone when it was almost over. He had never enjoyed the affection of his family in his previous life, but now he felt very warm.

Wait till the end.
"Eh? Do you want to call Tsuruko too?"

".Why not just forget it? This heartless sister must be having a sweet time with her boyfriend."

Tsuruko Nagayama just went to see the premiere of "Keep the Camera On" with her friends last night.

When I shared it with my classmates today, we were still discussing it intensely.
"In fact, the first half hour is set up so that the truth behind the scenes will be revealed later, which will be impressive!" Hezi explained confidently, "This method of first suppressing and then praising is itself a pioneering work in the film."

"But the first half hour was really hard to watch!" a classmate complained.

Although they both have the same surname, there are many people with the same surname in Japan, and if they are not introduced, people will not regard them as relatives. Few people in Waseda University know that Nagayama Tsuruko is Naoki Nagayama's sister.

"That's because the radio waves didn't align. If they did, it would still be very interesting!"

Ishii Junsui also chimed in: "Yes, the following content is very interesting and funny!"

This statement also attracted the approval of some classmates~
In this way, the discussion about this movie is mixed, but the popularity of the movie itself is getting higher and higher. After all, no one will discuss a movie that no one watches.

Many students who had not seen the movie originally also wanted to see why this movie was being discussed by everyone.

After Nagayama Tsuruko and Ishii Junsui finished their classes, the two began to talk in private:
"Tsuruko, I feel like there are a lot of newspapers in this movie that are slandering Naoki-san."

"Yeah, that's for sure! Kaneda said so too!"

Nagayama Tsuruko and Ishii Junsui are both in the Faculty of Literature, but their boyfriends are in the Graduate School of Political Science, which is a journalism major. In this era when print media is rampant, journalism is a popular major.
Both of them were a little worried about Naoki Nagayama. Obviously someone was discrediting his new movie in the media. What should he do?
We walked and talked like this until we returned to our apartment in Waseda.

"Tsuruko, why don't you call Naoki Ni-chan and ask?"

"He shouldn't be home now. Wait until evening." Hezi originally wanted to ask in the evening. Just as she glanced at the phone, she found that the message light was on. "Huh? Any message?"

Tsuruko walked over to the phone without even putting down her schoolbag, pressed the play button, and heard her brother's lively message:

"Hezi, your brother is going to France in the near future to experience the culture of a foreign country and attend the Cannes Film Festival. He will also meet many international stars, including Marlon Brando, whom you like very much. There is nothing you can do about your envy, hahahaha~"

"I'll bring you a souvenir, don't miss me too much~"

"."

Hearing the end of the song, Hezi was speechless for a moment.
Marlon Brando was the first Godfather. The movie "The Godfather" was released ten years ago and has always been a favorite among extreme movie lovers.
Naturally, Tsuruko also watched the movie disc when she was in junior high school. Her Yakuza bloodline was awakened and she admired this mafia boss very much. But now it seems like a complete black history!
"Bagani-chan! I was worried about you!"

Hezi put down her schoolbag with a bang and cursed fiercely into the phone.

"He actually went abroad!" Ishii Junsui laughed, "It seems that Naoki-san didn't take the matter of "Don't Stop the Camera" to heart at all!"

"I will never worry about him again!"

Tsuruko walked into the bedroom angrily, feeling that she had fed Yingtaro with all her heart!

"Wait a minute, Tsuruko."

Ishii Junsui also walked in quickly~
When Akina Nakamori came back at night, she saw her boyfriend with a small bag, and she was naturally in tears.
"Naoki-san, you should at least bring one formal suit this time, which means a five-piece suit!" Akina Nakamori opened the large suitcase and started packing things. "The Cannes Film Festival will last for such a long time. You don't need to change your coat, but you must change your tie and shirt."

"And daily clothes and daily necessities."

“Medications that may be used”

"besides."

Naoki Nagayama was standing nearby, watching his suitcase gradually fill up until it was almost full.
“So many things?”

"Yes, when you go out, you can't leave anything behind," Akina Nakamori said seriously, "When I went abroad before, I would change clothes even more, and I would need at least two suitcases for cosmetics!"

"."

Naoki Nagayama only then felt that he was indeed a straight man
After they had packed their luggage, Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori had a simple dinner and then leaned on the sofa to chat.

"I'll leave Hibiki and Neonatarou in the care of Akina. If I send them back to their hometown, they'll definitely get fat again!"

"Of course, no problem. I'll take good care of them!" Nakamori Akina put her foot on the back of the prone Megumi Taro and stepped on it. "Megumi Taro is so useful, so I'll just treat it as a by-product!"

".Meow?"

Naoki Nagayama was quick with his hands and eyes, and he started to stroke the girl violently, making her immersed in the pleasure of snoring.
Yingtaro, under the iron hoof, had already accepted his fate and lay on the ground without saying a word.

"I'll probably be away for a little over a week this time. Half a month at most." Naoki Nagayama discussed the schedule with Akina. "If there's nothing else, I'll be back after the dinner."

"Well Naoki-san, just got daddy!"

Akina Nakamori cheered her boyfriend up, and she also knew that Naoki Nagayama went there this time to compete for the Palme d'Or.

“It should be no problem.”

This is not a flag-raising!

"After I come back, I should be able to catch Akina's single."

The cherry blossom season in Japan is from February to May, and "Yume to Hazakura" given to Akina Nakamori by Naoki Nagayama is about to be released.

"I will leave the first signed record to Naoki-san!" said Akina Nakamori.

"Haha, thank you so much, Akina~"

"Naoki-san, be careful in France!"

"Eh? Why?"

"I heard that French women are very beautiful and passionate. Someone like Naoki-san would be very dangerous in France!"

"." Naoki Nagayama was speechless, "I'm not Tang Monk's flesh"

"No, it's more dangerous than Tang Seng's flesh!" Nakamori Akina stretched out her hand and pinched her boyfriend's face, and said seriously, "In any case, you must protect yourself. Don't participate in weird parties!"

The two of them leaned on the sofa and chatted casually, looking through the French windows at the gradually darkening city, and then seeing the lights of the city that never sleeps, until the night deepened~
France, Cannes.

A bay city that should have been ordinary became world-famous because of the Cannes Film Festival.

In a large villa on the coast, a group of bigwigs from the international film industry are watching the final selected films, including directors, producers, film critics, and well-known stars.

Before the final selection results came out, this group of people were completely locked in the villa, with only one thing to do, which was to watch all the films in full.

“Dad is on a Business Trip is a great film that uses a child’s perspective to observe ordinary life in Yugoslavia.”

A judge with a Russian accent recommended this movie.

"Dad is on a Business Trip" is a film about life in Yugoslavia. During this period, Yugoslavia was still a communist country, and this film was equivalent to a communist propaganda film.

Before the Soviet Union collapsed, the whole world was facing up to the influence of the red movement. So according to history, this film will win this year's Palme d'Or.

But others disagreed:

"Aren't there other movies that use children's perspectives? The one we watched before, "Kikujiro's Summer," feels more interesting."

"Indeed, the plot of Dad Is on a Business Trip is average, and the filming technique is not very sophisticated," said another big shot. "Even if it uses a child's perspective, it often appears in other movies."

"What's more important is that the film's background is somewhat sensitive."

The other judges all spoke at once, leaving the Russian judges unable to get a word in for a while.

In this year's competition, there are more and more films about war against the backdrop of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. There are also many films that describe the cruelty and suffering of war and reflect on war.
However, these films are either related to the Soviet Union or the United States, as if they are competing with each other in the field of film.

“Yes, although it is said that movies know no national boundaries, we still need to pay attention to this point when selecting.”

"It would be better if film selection did not involve the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union."

“The theme of “Kikujiro’s Summer” is actually more humanistic, reconciling with one’s childhood and the mother-child relationship, which are things that can transcend culture.”

“The shooting technique is also very interesting.”

“There is a sense of innocence and childishness. Perhaps this is the perspective of a child.”

Many of the judges had been PR-ed, and close friends had recommended the film to them. Even the vice president of the Producers Guild had specifically recommended it to the producer judges, so there were many voices of approval.

It won rave reviews when it was watched before, and many people would compare it with other movies.

Unconsciously, "Kikujiro's Summer" has become more and more important in the hearts of all the judges.

"There are still a few days left. We need to speed up our review process." The chairman of the jury suggested, "At least before the opening, we need to finalize all the shortlisted films."

"Well, there's still time!"

Then, the projector in the center of the villa changed to another movie, "Rendez-vous". This time it was a French romance film, and it was set in a French city like Cannes, so naturally all the judges watched it attentively.

However, there are many romance films in movies, especially in France, which is known as the capital of romance. If you want to win the favor of the judges, it is not enough to rely on a beautiful body, but you also have to make the judges feel touched spiritually!
Amid everyone's anticipation, a tangled love triangle begins again
　Hehe, I didn’t expect that there would be a sudden update!
