Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 1132 Chapter 1141, Be a career-oriented woman! ! Be confident! Make money!

Diplomatic banquets are supposed to be something that is only for the general public, as the attendees are celebrities who are not often seen. Ordinary people don't care much about them. However, after all, it is related to the image of the country, so out of respect, reports are usually placed on the second or third page of the newspaper.

However, this time the report on welcoming the Spanish princess attracted the attention of the editors because of the participation of celebrities, and the report was put on the front page.

The photos in the report were of Crown Prince Naruhito receiving the Spanish princess, and meeting Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori. The reporter may have known that the Nagayama couple were a hot topic among the public, so he emphasized them in the report.

"Naoki Nagayama and his wife had a cordial and friendly conversation with Crown Prince Naruhito"

Naoki Nagayama, who was sitting at the dining table, was reading the report with a helpless look on his face.

"It's just two clichés. Does that mean it's friendly?"

On the other side, Akina was feeding Xiao Xiahua with a bottle. After hearing what Naoki Nagayama said:

"The faces in the photos are all smiling. Isn't that kind and friendly?"

“You can tell it’s a business smile!”

But what surprised Naoki Naoyama even more was another aspect, because the angle of this photo was so good that Naoki Naoyama, who was a head taller than Crown Prince Naruhito, looked almost as tall as him.
"The photographers at the Imperial Household Agency are really amazing!"

In this age without PS, to be able to capture a short two-minute conversation like this, the photographer's professional ability and reaction speed have to be praised!
“I don’t know if I can dig it out~”

".What are you talking about, Naoki-san!" After feeding Xiahua, Akina also started to eat breakfast, "These cameramen are all official photographers! They can't be poached!"

"."

The positions in the Imperial Household Agency are probably more outrageous than those in society, and they may even be hereditary.
Shaking his head, getting rid of the previous thought, Naoyama Naoki looked at Akina:
"What's Akina's schedule for today?"

"I'm going to take the annual photo for Star magazine," Akina laughed, "I'm the star of the cover this year!"

"Oh?"

In the past, the annual covers of "Star" were basically group photos of many people, such as Akina Nakamori, Seiko Matsuda, Kyoko Koizumi, Nahoko Kawai, and the new generation of Yukiko Okada and Shizuka Kudo.

However, this year, Matsuda Seiko retired due to pregnancy and childbirth, but the popularity of Akina among fans has not diminished after her return. After the release of "Passion", she has been at the top of the charts. Her status has suddenly become unique, and with the allocation of resources from the agency, she has firmly become the protagonist on the cover.

"Then congratulations to Akina!"

Naoki Nagayama raised his orange juice.
“Orange juice instead of wine”

"How can there be such a weird saying~" Akina said this, but she still raised the juice and clinked it with Naoki Nagayama~
"What about Naoki-san today? Are you still editing?"

"Yes. We need to catch up with the progress~"

The release date of "Ghost" is getting closer~
A plane slowly lands at Tokyo's Narita Airport.

As the plane taxied to the apron, passengers gradually walked out of the jet bridge.
The group carefully found their packages at the baggage reception desk.

"Videotape Material"

Masataka Komori, who was in a bad mood, carefully checked the materials and then heaved a sigh of relief.

The most important thing in Paris was not missing this time~
"Masataka-san, the larger equipment is being shipped back and isn't expected to arrive until tomorrow." A crew member reported to Komori Masataka.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it."

He took his luggage and said to Shibata Kyohei, Aoyama Chikako and other members of the crew:

"Mina-san, I'm finally back. Let's take a rest for two days and then start filming the day after tomorrow~ The meeting point is the filming base in Ota Ward!"

"Hi~"XN
After walking out of the terminal with my suitcase, I waved goodbye to everyone and got on the special car that came to pick me up. Masataka Komori now also has a special car service~
"Zhengxiao-san, are you going home directly?" The driver was a familiar face.

"No, I have to go to the company first to report the shooting situation to my superiors." Komori Masataka said, "Then I have to go to Ota City."

"You just came back, why don't you take a rest first?"

"I've rested for a long time on the plane!" Masataka Komori shook his head. As a director, he naturally didn't have so much time to rest.

"Along the Four Seas" is in the intense filming stage, and the schedules of all the leading actors are very tight. Leslie Cheung even returned to Hong Kong to rehearse for the year-end awards, and he will rush to Tokyo in three days.
"Hi."

The driver didn't say much and drove directly towards Ikebukuro with Komori Masataka.

He hadn't been to the Shuyou Building for more than half a month. When he first saw the building, Masataka Komori felt like he was back home.

"Zheng Xiaojun, long time no see!"

Xing Jiahua at the front desk greeted Komori Masataka with some surprise when she saw him.

"Didn't you just come back today? Why did you come directly to the company?"

"I have something to report." Komori Masataka said with a smile, "Hana-chan, are Naoki-san and Shuichi-san here?"

"Well, Shuuichi-san is not here, but Naoki-san is in the editing room editing the movie."

"As long as Naoki-san is here, that's enough." Komori Masataka nodded, "I'll go find him."

"I'll take you there~"

After getting on the elevator, Xing Jiahua was still talking about how Komori Masataka got tanned after going out. It was already late autumn in Tokyo, but it was still sunny in Paris.

After knocking on the door of the editing room, Masataka Komori saw a group of people busy at work.

In addition to Naoki Nagayama, the familiar Kyon Kijima and Banyuki Nishimoto were also there, as well as a few less familiar people, who seemed to be new editors.

"Masataka-kun?"

Naoki Nagayama turned around.
"you are back?"

"Hi, I just got off the plane." Komori Masataka nodded and looked into the editing room. "Naoki-san is editing Ghost, right? Why are there so many new faces?"

"Ah, they are all new recruits." Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "With the development of special effects technology, the era when only a few people were needed to edit a movie is over. I think the editing work will become more and more subdivided in the future, so I trained a group of new people in advance."

"I see." Komori Masataka nodded. It seemed that the company had grown again!

Moreover, these people have been trained by Naoki-san, and they can be used in his own editing later!
"Everyone take a break first."

Knowing that Komori Masataka was looking for him to report, Naoki Nagayama said something to the members of the editing room, and then went to the lounge with Komori Masataka.
"Masataka-kun, how was your trip to Paris?"

"Haha, Paris is indeed the capital of art, with all kinds of beautiful buildings, rich cultural heritage, and outstanding natural scenery. The exterior scenes of "Across the World" in Paris have basically been shot!"

"Haha, the scenes in Paris are arguably the most comfortable ones in this movie. How were the performances of the leading actors?" Naoki Nagayama asked with a smile.

"Shibata Kyohei is indeed an experienced actor, and Leslie Cheung's performance is also very casual and natural, which fits the character's characteristics very well."

Masataka Komori was generous in praising the two leading actors.
"In comparison, Chikako-chan is a little immature, but this innocence may better show the protection the two male protagonists have for her."

"Yeah, Chikako-chan is still very young after all, but she has good innate conditions, so just let her exude her charm naturally."

"Across the World" is a light-hearted commercial film, not an art film, so it does not require the heroine to have outstanding acting skills.

Moreover, Chikako Aoyama has a mature yet innocent temperament, and she can attract a lot of audiences just by appearing on the screen!
Fast-paced commercial films these days are all like this, with the male lead taking the lead and beautiful women playing supporting roles. Zhikezi is actually good at just being a vase.

"So what are your plans after you come back?"

"I let the crew rest for two days," said Masataka Komori. "During this time, I will go to Ota City to see if the scenes I asked for before have been set up."

"Ah, it's the art gallery and wine cellar, right?"

"Correct!"

I don't know why, but everyone loves to watch scenes of art theft. There are many such plots in movies around the world, and Japan also has popular characters like Cat's Eye Sisters and Kaito Kid.

The art theft scenes in "Along the Way" are very fun and exciting, breaking through the art gallery's anti-theft measures, using red wine to observe infrared rays in the wine cellar, and the explosion scenes all require special scenes.

Before Masataka Komori left, he asked the filming base to produce such a scene.

"If that's the case, Masataka-kun won't have any rest~"

Komori Masataka smiled:

"Hahaha, to borrow a phrase from Naoki-san, why bother sleeping so long while you're alive? You'll sleep forever after you die. Life is fleeting, so there's no time to rest!"

". Masataka-kun, you have gained a lot of insights this time!" Nagayama Naoki was a little surprised, "What makes you so anxious?"

"It's the schedule!"

"."

"When it rained in Paris, I was so anxious that bubbles appeared on the corners of my mouth!"

"."

In the lounge, Masataka Komori reported to Naoki Nagayama about his experience of filming abroad, and then asked the company to rent the Imperial Hotel's banquet hall to film the dance scene. After getting Naoki Nagayama's permission, he hurried away.

It doesn't matter that I don't know anyone in Paris. I'm unfamiliar with the place and I have to rely on myself for everything during the filming. So after returning from abroad, I can clearly see the growth of Masataka Komori.
Even my face has become thicker!
"Shuyou Films, there will be successors!"

Naoki Nagayama nodded with satisfaction and returned to the editing room.

"Naoki-san, has Masataka left?" Kimura asked in confusion, "I wanted to have a drink with him after get off work!"

"Kijima Kimitaka is now fully committed to the film industry!"

Looking at the Kyon Kimura in front of him,

"You can't fall behind!"

"? Huh? Why are you talking about me all of a sudden?" Kyon was confused, "Naoki-san, what do you mean by that?"

"It means get to work! You want a drink before you finish your work?!"

Naoki Nagayama cursed with a smile,
"Hurry up! Stop dawdling!"

"."

In a studio in Shibuya, Akina Nakamori changed poses under the direction of the photographer.

The clothes she wears are in line with the capable style of new-age women. The theme of this issue is obviously urban women in the new-age trend, and the magazine cover will also become a popular trend next year~
After shooting a set of costumes, the art director and stylist discussed:

"The shirt can be looser. Shoulder pads are still necessary. They highlight the masculinity!"

"The eye shadow can be more obvious, so that the eyes look sharper"

“Capable.”

Listening to the discussion between the two, Akina Nakamori suddenly thought of the short hair, earrings, and dress of Masako Owada that she had seen before. She also had a high-spirited spirit and a confident temperament.
This is the characteristic of women in the new era!
Ambition! Confidence! Make money! Rely on yourself!
Girls like this make me feel attracted to them!

Even when Masako said she liked Naoki Nagayama, I felt a little bit of crisis. If Naoki saw her, would he be tempted?
"Arnold, would short hair look better?" Akina said directly to the art director Fujii Osamu, "For career-minded women, short hair looks neater."

Fujii Xiuhong was stunned for a moment, then nodded:
"Indeed. We can try wearing a short hairpiece."

"You can also replace the earrings with studs," Akina continued, "If you want to highlight your ambition, a windbreaker might also be a good choice."

"Akina-chan is really sensitive to trends~"

Fujii Osamu said with a pleasant face,
"Akina-chan, do you have any other ideas? Feel free to tell me!"

After hearing what Fujii Osamu said, Akina was not nervous. She had her own unique understanding of styling and had been praised by professional design studios.

"Even career-oriented women love beauty and have certain preferences about their image."

Akina was choosing from accessories and matching clothes.

“So in inconspicuous places, there will be unique and thoughtful rings, bracelets and belts.”

Listening to Akina's story, Fujii Osamu's eyes were full of admiration.

The assistant next to him was a little frightened when he saw the smile on his boss's face. You know, the art director Fujii Osamu has always been autocratic during filming, and he would even mock other people's opinions with a sharp tongue.

Even if the object is a top artist, I will not change my thoughts and attitude!

In his eyes, artists are just plastic models that move, and they just need to do their job! I didn't expect him to be so kind when facing Akina Nakamori!

"Akina-chan, you can become a designer now, do you have any other ideas?"

Then Akina walked towards the metal cigarette box that Fujii Shuhiro had placed on the table.
"cigarette!"

If we talk about the most stereotypical influence between men and women in the workplace, it should be that men can smoke, but women cannot!

Akina took the cigarettes from the table, took one out and held it in her hand, while playing with the cigarette box with her other hand:
"For career-oriented women, smoking is a big breakthrough. However, the exquisite cigarette box can be regarded as one of the unique ideas."

"Eh?!!"

Fujii Osamu was surprised, and then he thought about it, it is indeed a very bold and good idea. However, if such a cover photo is released, it will cause a stir in the entire entertainment industry, right? !

"Akina-chan, this is a surprising idea, but it will affect Akina's image."

"Stupid tape!" Akina shook her head. She had been trying to transform herself. "I'm already married and have children, so I can't cling to my old image."

She is not Seiko Matsuda, who can always maintain the image of a sweet idol!

She is Akina Nakamori, who has always been a trendsetter!
She also wants to be a confident career woman!
Hearing the affirmative answer, Fujii Osamu no longer hesitated:

"Then let's give it a try according to Akina-chan's advice!
Everyone, go look for an exquisite cigarette box. If you can’t find one, go to a nearby high-end cigarette store and buy one! And buy a box of women’s cigarettes at the same time.”

"Akina, you can start changing your clothes. You can try out your looks later and once the props arrive, we'll start filming!"

".Hmm!" Akina nodded, "Then there's only one question left!"

"what is the problem?"

"I don't smoke!" Akina said very seriously, "What kind of demeanor should a smoker have?"

"ah?!!"

"Also, I can't really smoke, I can only act it out. Otherwise it's not good for the baby at home."
