Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 867 876, The film festival is too complicated, and the tree friends can't grasp it!!!

The lights are on at night, and the city that never sleeps is bustling with life and night. It is simply breathtakingly beautiful when you look down from a high place.

Late at night, Naoki Nagayama finally got away from one cocktail party after another and returned to the large flat in the 80 Building in Takanawa District.

This time, when I went to the event, perhaps because I had to communicate with others about the Tokyo International Film Festival, even drinking became secondary. In the end, I didn’t feel drunk at all. I could even take the elevator upstairs and open the door with my key.
"I'm back~"

"Naoki-san?"

The sound of opening the door and calling immediately attracted Akina Nakamori who was in the living room. She hurried to the entrance, ready to meet a drunk man who was unconscious, but unexpectedly saw her boyfriend who was still able to stand steadily.

"Eh? Why don't you look drunk?"

Akina Nakamori still walked over, held Naoki Nagayama's arm and led him inside.

“Not drunk!”

Perhaps it was because he was back in a familiar place, Naoki Nagayama was in a much more relaxed mood, and his vigilance outside was no longer there. He only felt waves of hot air coming into his head, and his consciousness was like a sauna, and his whole body was loose and soft~
"Actually, we were drinking and chatting about the preparations."

"Is that so~" Akina Nakamori helped her boyfriend to the sofa, and then helped him take off his suit and tie.

Fortunately, Naoki Nagayama was a good drinker, so he cooperated and took off his clothes.
Then he reached out and hugged his girlfriend who was about to get up, and they fell on the spacious sofa together. His hot cheeks rubbed against his smooth face, which was surprisingly cool and very comfortable.
"Wow, kimoqi~"

If someone sees this, they will definitely call you a pervert!
"Naoki-san" Akina Nakamori was a little speechless. Naoki Nagayama was treating himself as an ice pack. "I'm going to get the hangover soup!"

"No, let me hold you for a while!"

Maybe he was just drunk, Naoki Nagayama hugged his girlfriend tightly. Actually, he didn't have any sexual intentions even though he was so drunk, he just felt safe and comfortable.

Akina Nakamori had no choice but to adjust her posture and lie half-lying in her boyfriend's arms.
"Naoki-san, go wash up and go to bed."

"Don't~"

"Then let's go lie down in the bedroom, okay?"

"do not want!"

"Then you need to use a pillow to cushion your pain."

Akina Nakamori coaxed him like a child, but before she could hear Naoki Nagayama's answer, she discovered that her boyfriend seemed to have fallen asleep.
".What is it, Naoki-san? Are you pretending to be asleep?"

".Zzzzzzz"

After confirming that Naoki Nagayama was really asleep, Akina Nakamori was really helpless. She was hugged by two arms, and Naoki Nagayama was tall and strong. If he collapsed on the sofa, she really couldn't get up by herself. What should she do?
Finally, he could only slightly open his arms and crawl out of the embrace little by little like a caterpillar, and only then was he freed from the restraints.

"Naoki-san, it looks like you'll have to sleep on the sofa tonight~"

Akina Nakamori brought a thin quilt to cover Naoki Nagayama, put a pillow under him, then sat next to him and touched her boyfriend's face, then lowered his body and gave him a gentle kiss.

He turned around and told the dog lying next to him:
"Hitarou, please keep a close eye on Naoki-san at night!"

"Wang Wang!"

The dog's tail was tapping on the ground, making Meowtaro in the cat's bed look disgusted.

"Nyan Taro too!"

"."

After that, he turned off the lights in the living room, then got up and went to the bedroom to wash up. A few minutes later, the lights in the bedroom dimmed, and the large flat began to become quiet, with only Naoki Nagayama's slightly heavy breathing left.
Yingtaro also lay down, put his head on his front paws and closed his eyes, thinking that this night would pass quietly like this~
Ten minutes later, there was a sudden noise coming from the quiet bedroom, making Yingtaro's 24-hour krypton gold dog eyes sparkle in the night.

Then I saw a figure in pajamas walking out of the bedroom, holding a pillow, running to the sofa and putting it down, and then crawling back into Naoki Nagayama's arms.
Feeling the warm body and the reassuring breath, Akina Nakamori closed her eyes happily:
"The sofa is the sofa, we're going to sleep together anyway!"

Yingtaro expressed his confusion, and Miaotaro seconded the idea. However, neither of them had the right to speak.

"Nyan Taro! Nyan Taro! Go to sleep!"

The last rays of light in May shine on the city, bringing Tokyo back from night to dawn.
The sun is getting hotter as summer approaches. Even the workers who get up early change into lighter clothes and rush to work with a cup of coffee and a newspaper.
Being on the top floor of a high-rise building, one would be the first to receive sunlight, so Naoki Nagayama naturally got up early, without any pain of a hangover. After taking a shower, he was now reading a newspaper next to the dining table.

"Naoki-san, duct tape?"

Akina Nakamori looked at her boyfriend twisting his neck and smiled with concern.

“It’s not nice to sleep on the sofa”

"Akina, didn't you sleep with me too?!" Naoki Nagayama took the milk and bread, as well as the fried eggs, sausages and cabbage on the plate~
"That's because Naoki-san was drunk and wouldn't let go of me!" Nakamori Akina confused cause and effect and refused to admit that she was the one who got in. "Otherwise I wouldn't have slept on the sofa. My shoulders are still a little sore~"

"."

I'm not well educated, Mingcai, don't lie to me! What's with that pillow? Why are you wearing pajamas?!
Naoki Nagayama did not expose his girlfriend's little secret, but changed the subject and said:
"Sure enough, today's newspapers are all talking about the Tokyo International Film Festival!"

"What did you say?" Akina Nakamori came closer while biting a piece of bread, wanting to read the headline on the newspaper. "Wishful thinking?"

"How could you offend me like this?"

Naoki Nagayama smiled and said that by not allowing some media to enter the celebration party yesterday, he had already made his attitude clear to the media and newspapers.

Naoki Nagayama is a petty person. If anyone offends him, he will definitely not let them participate in tree friends' activities in the future!

In addition, the Tokyo International Film Festival is now a hot topic in the entertainment industry in the second half of the year, and no one wants to be unable to enter the film festival.

"'Genius idea, feasibility analysis of the Tokyo International Film Festival!'" Akina Nakamori read the title slowly, "It looks like positive news."

"Well, most of them are positive and encouraging."

Naoki Nagayama flipped through several copies and showed them to his girlfriend. The titles were such as "Tokyo can also hold a film festival!" "Looking forward to the world's filmmakers coming to Tokyo!" "Shuyou and Kadokawa launch Tokyo International Film Festival event!"
"So Naoki-san is going to start preparations next?"

"There's no rush. We need to set up a preparatory executive committee first!"

Naoki Nagayama explained that many people did express interest last night, but there might not be many who would actually contribute money and effort to join in.

Of course, it is also possible to see a group of people join, and then everyone joins in~
The two chatted about these things while eating breakfast. After breakfast, Akina Nakamori went to the company for filming, while Nagayama Naoki himself drove to the Tokyo Prince Hotel again. His family is still here!

"Father, mother," Naoki Nagayama came to the suite and saw his parents waiting for him. "Where are my eldest brother and the others?"

"The weeds haven't woken up yet." Mother Nanako said, "Tsuruko took us to walk around the Meguro River last night and see the night cherry blossoms."

"Are the cherry blossoms still blooming?" Naoki Nagayama was surprised. It's already the end of May!

"There are still some." Mother Nanako smiled, "But under the light, it's hard to see clearly."

"Haha, that's true."

Although everyone is talking about the beauty of the cherry blossom season and how magical the night cherry blossoms on the Meguro River are, if you really go there to see them, it might not be that great. After all, the perspective of the locals is quite different from that of foreign tourists.

"Father, Mother, let me take you for a good tour of Tokyo today!" said Naoki Nagayama.

"No need!" said Nanako, the mother. "Your father and I can go out and have fun on our own. It's not like we can't move."

"But this"

"Naoki, didn't you just say yesterday that you wanted to organize the Tokyo Film Festival? Don't delay your career."

“I’m not that anxious.”

"Your father and I will go back to Shizuoka in the evening."

It was still the mother Nanako who was talking, while the father Ken Nagayama didn't say much, just watching and occasionally making an approving hum.

"There's no need to be so anxious, right?" Naoki Nagayama said in surprise, "You can stay in Tokyo for a few days."

"No need, your father can't let go of the guests in the pub." said mother Nanako.

Yongshan Jian beside him also nodded and said: "Yes, I only took one day off. If I don't open the store tomorrow, those who are used to eating here will be very distressed."

"."

Naoki Nagayama could not understand this feeling, but in Neon, there are indeed old stores that have been open for decades, and they do have regular customers, and even deep bonds have formed between customers and owners.

"What about big brother and the others?"

"Nozomi didn't bring that much." Nanako explained, "We just came to attend Naoki's celebration party."

"Okay~"

It looks like the family will go back today~
"Anyway, let's at least have lunch together at noon." Naoki Naoyama said, "I'll arrange a car to take you back in the afternoon!"

"Isn't it troublesome?"

“Of course it’s no trouble”

While Naoki Nagayama was having a dinner with his family, his influence continued to ferment in the film and entertainment circles.

Film studios such as Toho, Toei, Nikkatsu, Shochiku, and even the Academy Awards Committee and the Blue Ribbon Awards Production Committee all began discussing this event.

In Toei's headquarters office, the head of the department, Takashi Ogasawara, sat in the main seat with a serious expression:

"Mina-san, do you have anything to say about the Tokyo International Film Festival?"

The people below looked at each other, and someone spoke up:
"Is this just a marketing move by Juyou and Kadokawa to promote "Camera Never Stops" or their next movie?"

As soon as this was said, some people started to discuss:
“Yes, holding a small film festival, using the film as the opening film, and inviting peers to judge is actually the same as a preview.

Finally, we can find some critics, journalists, etc. to review the films of the year and give them the name of Tokyo Film Festival.

"That makes sense. I think it might not be possible!"

“Trying to compare with the Cannes Film Festival is just grandstanding!”

"."

As Ogasawara Takafumi watched the guys below trying their best to slander Naoki Nagayama and look down on the Tokyo Film Festival, he actually knew in his heart that these people were actually unable to accept the rapid rise of Shuyou and Naoki Nagayama, and they couldn't find a way to suppress them so they could only vent their anger.

The tapping sound of fingers on the table made everyone quiet down again.

"Minister Yamamura, what do you think?" Ogasawara Takafumi could only name the person.

“I think the Tokyo International Film Festival will definitely be held!”

Yamamura Toshitaka's words were firm, causing the conference room to suddenly become noisy, but he continued in a calm tone,

"Don't forget this guy Naoki Nagayama. No matter what you say about him or what you want to say about him, he is the youngest winner of the Palme d'Or and has won several Best Director awards. All his films are big sellers!"

"Whether we want to admit it or not, he is already one of the biggest names in the film industry!"

Everyone looked at each other and fell silent. This was the truth. Everyone looked at Yamamura Toshitaka again, waiting for his next words.

"If the Tokyo International Film Festival is successful, the organizers will undoubtedly make a great contribution to the history of Japanese cinema! Shuyou Film will also become a film production studio on par with Toei and Toho!"

One participant was puzzled:
"Minister Yamamura, do you mean that we want to make it impossible for the Tokyo Film Festival to take place?"

"Making trouble? Causing destruction?"

Everyone started discussing again~
"Neither!" said Yamamura Toshitaka, "The Tokyo Film Festival will definitely be held! This is not only a matter for Shuyou, but also a demand of the Japanese film industry and the expectation of the government!"

"However, the tree friends are just the initiators. The organizers may not necessarily be them!"

"???!!!" "What's going on?" "What do you mean?"

Hearing this, Ogasawara Takafumi spoke:
"Mina-san, the organizing committee of the Tokyo Film Festival has not yet established our Toei, but it is not impossible for us to take the lead in the film festival!"

Everyone was confused. How should this be done?

".You guys, don't you know what it means to sneak into Chencang?"

“This kind of activity representing the image of the Japanese nation would not be possible without the support of the government!

The government support for Toei is much higher than that for a new company like Shuyou that has been established for less than five years. We want to use the government’s influence, as well as our own strength and influence, to influence the decision of the organizing committee.”

"Shuyou is too young. The water of international activities is very deep. Shuyou can't grasp it!!!

Who else could be the organizer of the Tokyo International Film Festival other than Toei, which has a long history and a great reputation? ! ! ! "

"If Toei is the organizer, then Shuyou and Kadokawa are at most the initiators! The name that will truly go down in film history will definitely be our Toei!"

"."

Listening to Takafumi Ogasawara's talk, everyone else was a little stunned.

This approach seems to be feasible!
