Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 904 Chapter 913, Now that everything is done, can we go have some fun?!
"Is this true? I went to the gym and ran for over an hour?!"

When he heard his assistant's report the next day, Yoshimura Otomo opened his mouth wide, his eyes filled with disbelief.

“And then call people back to record?”

"Hey, I heard that after warming up, you jog for half an hour, then run fast for ten minutes and then rush back immediately."

Assistant Kimie Ochiai is also a gossip-monger herself, and she talks about it in vivid detail.
“I heard that when I sang for the first time, I was sweating and gasping for breath just to get the feeling of my heart beating violently.”

Ochiai Kimie vividly shared the description she heard. There is no doubt that this first-hand description came from Onodera's heart.
"This is too inappropriate! How can an artist be so disgraceful?" Yoshimura Otomo suppressed the smile on his face and pretended to reprimand a few words.

But when Kimie Ochiai walked out of the office, he couldn't help laughing. He knew that whenever Naoki Nagayama went to record a record, there would always be some trouble.

Taking a little girl for a run on a hot day, saying that he was looking for the feeling of a strong heartbeat, if it were someone else, there might be rumors of child abuse.
"Shizuka-chan will probably be scared of this guy Naoki-san when she sees him next time!"

No matter how this strange rumor spread in the company, the recording of "I Want to Say I Love You Loudly" was finally successfully completed. In addition, after a few days of editing, the first episode of "Midnight Diner" starring Naoki Nagayama was also completed.

So today I went directly to the headquarters of Tokyo TV, next to Shiba Park where the Tokyo Tower is located~
"Naoki-san!"

Kotaro Sakai, the director of the Tokyo TV production department, immediately went to the lobby to greet him after receiving the notification from the front desk.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

“Haha, so I’m here now~”

Naoki Nagayama smiled and shook hands, then followed Kotaro Sakai to the reception room. The refreshing cool air swept away the stuffiness of the morning.

"Naoki-san has been very popular recently~" Sakai Kotaro said with a smile, "When you came in, were you spotted by the paparazzi waiting there?"

"There should be."

Naoki Nagayama shrugged. The engagement incident was gaining popularity and Akina Nakamori was on tour, so the Tokyo media's eyes and ears naturally targeted him.

Anyway, when the convertible drove in, several paparazzi seemed to raise their cameras~
"Then be careful when you go out, you may be surrounded." Sakai Kotaro 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 hesitate."

"Haha, I will~"

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and finally talked about the main purpose of their visit today.

"Director Sakai, this is the first episode of Midnight Diner~" Naoki Nagayama handed over the videotape, "Please take a look, Director Sakai."

"There must be no problem with Naoki-san's work!"

Although he said it nicely, Kotaro Sakai immediately took Naoki Nagayama to a place where the film could be screened, and then called all the key members of the production department to watch it together.

Perhaps it was because it was almost noon and everyone had almost digested their breakfast. Seeing the food being made on the screen and hearing the sizzling sound of sausages cooking in the grease, everyone seemed to smell the aroma of the grease.
Some people couldn't help swallowing, and then looked around a little embarrassedly~
As the screening progresses, memorable and heartwarming little stories are told, as if there really is a warm little canteen in the midnight. In the dead of night, it satisfies your stomach and warms your heart.

The series wasn't long to begin with, and when it was over, some people were still a little unsatisfied:

"That's all?"

"It's just the right amount of time to have a leisurely meal!" Naoyama Naoki said with a smile, "This is what we call a 'dinner drama'!"

Sakai Kotaro nodded, seeming to confirm this label, and turned to ask the others:

"Mina-san, what do you think of this "Midnight Diner"?"

Someone said with a smile: "Look at the dishes in the Hungry Pub, I don't think I've ever seen them in other izakayas~"

"Yeah, I want to try the octopus sausage~" "The sweet tamagoyaki looks good too."

"When you're hungry, of course you should eat flavorful pasta!"

Suddenly, people in the screening room started discussing where to go for lunch.
"You guys!" Sakai Kotaro slammed the table, "Let's discuss this TV series properly!"

This focused everyone's attention, but the content of the discussion was basically the same:
"If I'm hungry or lonely at night, I'd also like to watch a TV show like this~"

Thus, the TV series "Midnight Diner" passed the test so easily. After everyone else left, Sakai Kotaro asked:

"Naoki-san, is there only the first episode now? When will the rest be edited?"

"We have shot three episodes so far, and it will probably take another two days to finish editing them~" Naoki Nagayama said, "At the same time, we are still shooting in Shizuoka, and we expect that we will have no problem finishing one episode per week!"

"That's good~" Sakai Kotaro nodded, "Then we will start arranging the broadcast time and the advance publicity."

"Hi! From now on, someone will be sent to deliver the latest episodes every week!"

"That would be the best~"

After discussing the business, it was already time for dinner, and Sakai Kotaro did not hesitate:

"Naoki-san, let's go have a drink together to celebrate the success of our cooperation!"

"Eh? Let's go at noon, is that okay?"

"no problem!"

Kotaro Sakai smiled and pulled Naoki Nagayama out. As one of the five major TV stations in Japan, Tokyo TV would not be short of this entertainment fee!
When we returned to Yamazakurain, it was almost evening.

Naoki Nagayama got out of the taxi, opened the door with the key, and walked into the low-key and introverted Yamazakurain.

Looking at the mansion buildings shaded by green bamboos, as well as the flowers and landscape pond in the yard, Naoki Nagayama was quite moved.
“Even though the Yama Sakura Garden has been renovated, it seems like I spend less time here.”

Drinking with the people from Tokyo TV, the alcohol was nothing to Naoki Nagayama, and he is still sober now. But he is still a little tipsy.

He 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 when I return to Tokyo:

The first is to edit and deliver "Midnight Diner", the second is to record "I Want to Say I Love You Loudly", and the third is to prepare for the Tokyo International Film Festival.
Looking at it this way, it seems like it’s all done!
Oh, by the way, I also did an additional task and decided on the heroine of "101 Marriage Proposals".
"It seems like nothing happened?!"

Naoki Nagayama is as excited as a primary school student about to have summer vacation, as if after the final exams are over, it will be time for crazy fun!!

As for summer homework, what the hell is that? No fool would do it! When you hand it in at the beginning of the semester, the teacher won't even look at it, and will just sell it as scrap.
"So, I can start having fun now?!" Naoki Nagayama was eager to do something.
"Where to go? Who to go? What to go?" where, who, what
Then Naoki Nagayama found that he didn't seem to be interested in nightclubs and clubs. It seemed that every time he went there, he would just listen to music and drink. It would be better to go to the bar at home.
Oh. You mean the young lady?
Well, it's not impossible.
He reached for the phone next to him and quickly dialed:
"Brother Feng? Let's go out and have fun tonight! Let's not go to your KTV, let's find a newly opened nightclub!"

"Okay, then it's settled, you can call one or two friends too!"

"Mmmmmmm!"

Just like that, Naoki Nagayama and someone reached an indescribable agreement~
"However, I drank alcohol at noon, so I can't drive at night." Naoki Nagayama thought of this problem, and then clapped his hands, "Oh, right, don't I have a full-time driver? Let me find his phone number. His name is Toda Tomoyasu, right?"

Even in the hot summer, the temperature is not that high at night.

People who have been cooped up in their rooms all day due to the hot weather finally come out to have fun at night~
The elderly strolled in the park and along the river, while the young men and women headed for the nightclubs and the busy shopping streets. As for the children, they seemed to be not afraid of the heat during the day, but they would cling to the TV at night.
In a booth at a club in Roppongi, Naoki Nagayama and Kaede Nagayama were chatting while drinking:
"Brother Feng, I didn't see uncle when I went back this time~"

"My father probably went to Kobe. He has been going to the Yamaguchi-gumi headquarters all the time." Nagayama Feng curled his lips, as if he was a little dissatisfied with his father. "KTV is so profitable, why do you always want to get involved in the shambles of the Yakuza!"

Now, Nagayama Feng has completed the transition from a small-time gangster to a capitalist. The huge profits from KTV have made him completely disdain the small profits he made from his previous job as a yakuza.

After all, how can illegal income from prostitution, gambling, and drugs be as enjoyable as legitimate money? !

Why do all the gangsters want to clean up their names? Isn't it because they are afraid of being liquidated, betrayed, or overthrown in the future?
"Uncle Kumahara has been in the underworld his entire life, so he probably can't adjust to the new situation for a while~" Naoki Nagayama consoled him. After all, KTV has only been popular for a little over a year or two, so it's normal for an older person to be unable to adjust to the new situation for a while.

"Next time I go back, I will have a good talk with my grandfather. The Yongshan Group can't continue doing this!"

Yongshan Feng sighed. The guy who used to be big and strong now has fair skin and wears high-end clothes. He actually has the feeling of a business tycoon!
Naoki Nagayama didn't say much about the "family business" over there, but instead directed 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 said in surprise, "What's so good about our family? The past ten generations were all poor people, and at most they were samurai."

Looking at Naoki Nagayama's teasing expression, Nagayama Feng finally reacted:

"You mean, Grandfather is going to make his own movie!!!"

"Hahaha, yeah, you didn't expect that!" Nagayama Naoki also laughed.

"Hahaha, I really didn't expect that!" Nagayama Feng laughed heartily, "Grandfather is quite ambitious! So Naoki, how do you plan to shoot it?"

“I’ve written some outlines of scripts.”

Naoki Nagayama told him the general plot of "Hayato: New World", which combined the yakuza, loyalty, betrayal and the story of the inferiors overthrowing their superiors. It was very much to the taste of a former yakuza like himself, and Feng Nagayama nodded repeatedly as he listened.

"A movie like this will definitely be great!" Nagayama Feng patted Naoki Nagayama 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 invite everyone in the KTV!"

Naoki Nagayama also smiled:

“Maybe when the movie comes out, Grandpa will let everyone in the Nagayama Group go watch it!”

"Hahaha, this is indeed possible!"

The two brothers laughed non-stop at this point and drank as if they were celebrating.

After a while, Naoki Naoyama asked:
"If we were to film this, who would play the young grandfather would be a problem."

"Brother Feng, you and my grandfather are cut from the same cloth. If you play the role, it would be perfect for you!" Naoki Nagayama said to his cousin, "I just don't know if you want to continue acting?"

"."

This sentence made Nagayama Feng silent. Do you like acting? Of course!
It was because of the role of Tamao Serizawa that he made his first fortune and came to Tokyo from the countryside of Shizuoka Shimizu. Then by chance he achieved his current success.

but
"Naoki, have you forgotten? I said I would retire after "Hot Blood School 2"!"

The underworld in this era still attaches great importance to promises. Since he said this in front of the camera, he actually planned to do so in his heart!
“Hahaha~” Naoki Nagayama patted his cousin’s shoulder, “Brother Feng, you really are not suitable for the entertainment industry!!”

What kind of place is the entertainment industry?!

Just look at the traffic and popularity. Who cares what you have done or said before?
"Brother Feng, haven't you noticed that so many celebrities who said they wanted to retire have finally made a comeback!" Naoyama Naoki explained with a smile, "The ones who really retired are the ones who don't get any attention even if they come back!"

For those who are popular, it is impossible to retire. Even for an idol like Yamaguchi Momoe who is determined to retire, there will still be reporters taking pictures near her house decades later!
"So, if I start filming again, the media won't criticize me?" Nagayama Feng asked doubtfully.

"Of course not. They will only interview you about the reasons for your re-debut and then write a few reports that are a little more popular." Naoyama Naoki reassured him, "They are eager for you to make a re-debut!"

"Is that so?"

Nagayama Feng spun his wine glass and thought seriously.
"But I promised Xin Hai-chan that I would focus on the company."

Seeing his cousin's hesitation and expectation, Naoki Nagayama found an excuse for him:

"Why don't you just say that it's what Grandfather asked for? This concerns Grandfather's honor, no, the family's honor!"

In this day and age, if you talk about family matters, your wife will definitely agree. Otherwise, you will be considered an unvirtuous wife. Besides, Ishida Shinkai and Nagayama Kaede haven't gotten married yet!

Nagayama Feng thought about it and decided that he wanted to act:

"Then I'll give it a try!!"

"Hahaha, that's good! No one is more suitable to play the young grandfather than Brother Feng!" Naoki Nagayama nodded. After persuading Brother Feng, he didn't have to target his own eldest brother Aoki!

These two guys have indeed inherited their grandfather's big and strong physique.
After making this decision, Nagayama Feng seemed to have untied a shackle, and his mood improved. He started to be free and easy in the club with Nagayama Naoki.
I called several ladies to accompany me for drinks, and then the friends I contacted also showed up, and everyone started drinking while chatting about gossip~
