Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 627-635, New Achievements Achieved! Xiuyi-san Seven Times a Night~
The night outside the car window is lonely and seductive. In the quiet night sky, the moon is covered by a layer of clouds, leaving only some hazy halo, and a few stars blinking from time to time.

The cool night wind made the leaves rustle, and under the dim street lights not far away, the hurried footsteps of pedestrians returning home late were heard for a long time.

Naoki Nagayama was not too lonely in the car. The music radio kept playing the hot songs of the season, and he was reading a freshly-published magazine with great interest. In addition to celebrity gossip, there was also the Los Angeles Olympics that would begin in July this year.
This is a dance studio in Bunkyo Ward. After a certain time period, a large group of students who have completed their training will pour out of the clustered classrooms, making the originally quiet atmosphere suddenly much more lively.

Under the light at the door, I saw students and teachers bowing and saying goodbye, and then leaving one by one. Then I saw a girl in a white sweater looking out the door.
Even though she is a very famous person, Akina, with a simple ponytail, a loose sweatshirt and sweatpants, and no makeup on, looks no different from the other students except that her skin is a little whiter than the other students.

Naoki Nagayama, who was parked not far away, flashed his lights twice, and the girl ran over happily.
"Naoki-san!"

Mingcai opened the car door and put the sports bag in the back seat, then looked over with sparkling eyes.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"It won't take long. I calculated the time~"

Naoki Nagayama smiled, leaned over to hug his girlfriend, kissed her on the face, and was about to explore her lips when Akina covered her mouth with her hand.

"?" He expressed his confusion with his eyes~
Akina Nakamori pressed her boyfriend's mouth, her face slightly red, a little embarrassed: "I just finished dancing and sweated a lot"

"Stupid tape!"

"Dah!"

One wanted to kiss, the other refused. However, in such a small space, how could the girl stop the hungry man? In the end, he succeeded.
After receiving a deep French kiss, Naoki Nagayama started the car with a satisfied smile on his face and asked Akina, whose face was red and her breathing was rapid:
"I thought it was a one-on-one instruction. How could there be so many people for this kind of training?"

After taking a breath, Akina explained, "This teacher is very famous, so many people come to see him. He uses a small class tutoring format~"

"Oh? Can I teach all the students at the same time?"

"Well, what a great teacher!"

"."

While the two were chatting about their daily lives, the car soon arrived near Asakusa. They had originally planned to find a high-end restaurant here for a midnight snack, but Akina didn't seem to have much appetite after the dance training in the evening.

"Naoki-san, let's go eat at a roadside stall!" Akina's eyes sparkled with anticipation~
"This"

Taking a celebrity girlfriend to eat at a roadside stall? What kind of third-rate novel is this?
"All right!"

However, Naoki Nagayama finally agreed~
"I know there's a yakini restaurant near the Buddha, it's delicious!" He also brought Akina to the food court next to Sensoji Temple.
Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha remains in the heart. Silently reciting the Zen sayings of the monk Ji Dian, Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori ate the delicious roast beef and strolled slowly in the busy market.

The Wind and Thunder Gate of Sensoji Temple becomes more conspicuous at night. The five-story building in the distance is brightly lit, and it seems that the gods in the sky are also immersed in the noisy and jubilant atmosphere~
It was already late at night, and the two returned to Yamazakurain. They chatted and laughed after being greeted by Gouzi and settled down.

There were some gifts bought in the afternoon piled on the sofa in the living room, which made Akina very curious:

"Naoki-san, did you go shopping?"

"Yes, because I want to appease Xiuyi-san, I can only buy some gifts for Xiuyi-san's wife."

Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but think of the gift that was delivered. It should have arrived, and Shuichi-san should have known about it.
"It should have calmed down by now."

"Why are there so many?" Mingcai flipped through them and felt that there seemed to be everything available, in all styles.

Naoki Nagayama seems to have fallen into the nouveau riche mentality of only buying expensive things instead of the right ones when buying things now
"They are all gifts for other friends, Tsuruko, my mother and the like." Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, and then suddenly remembered, "Oh, Akina's gift! I almost forgot!"

After saying that, he quickly ran to the garage and took out a small and exquisite box with the GORO'S brand logo from the car.

"What?" Akina took it happily and after opening it she found it was a silver feather necklace with a very unique style.

"I saw this Indian-style necklace when I passed by Harajuku. Isn't Akina really fond of this exotic cultural style~" Naoki Nagayama explained. Recently, Akina's new single seems to be trying various different styles.

Looking at the exquisite silver necklace, it seems like a real silver feather, light and sparkling, and the turquoise next to it adds a touch of simplicity.
In an instant, Akina came up with many stage costumes that could be matched with this necklace. This wild Indian style was indeed very suitable for the rebellious new song.

"Arigato, Naoki-san!" Akina happily gave him a kiss.

After a long time, the two separated with slightly hurried breathing. Akina twisted her body in his arms, and seemed a little embarrassed as she smelled the aroma of barbecue she had eaten before.

"I'm going to take a shower first."

As she said that, she hurriedly ran to the second floor. In Yamazakurayuan, Akina already had a lot of spare clothes.

He had been aroused several times tonight. Naoki Nagayama looked at her good figure that could not be completely hidden by the loose sportswear. He felt a surge of blood boiling in his body. He pushed away Inatarou who was approaching him and quickly went upstairs.

Akina had already taken her clothes and was about to go to the bathroom when Naoyama Naoki came up and hugged his girlfriend:

"Akina, let's wash together."

"Hey, this won't work."

The girlfriend, with a blushing face, was too weak to resist and was helpless when Nagayama Naoki grabbed her hand. She was then surrounded and carried into the bathroom.

As the sound of running water sounded, a strange sound was also heard, which made Meow Taro, who had climbed onto the bed in the bedroom in advance, yawn.
Hehe~Two-legged beast~
The next morning, it was not a sunny day. There were many clouds in the sky and it looked like it was going to rain.

However, Naoki Nagayama came to the studio in a good mood. What was there to be afraid of? The gifts had all been given out. Shuichi-san should also know what it means to take advantage of others and be grateful to them!

"Good morning, Naoki-san!" "Good morning~"

Still greeting the employees in a lively manner, Naoki Nagayama came into the office.

"Good morning, Otomo-san~"

Yoshimura Otomo was very surprised: "Naoki-san, why are you here today? Shuichi-san said he would come in the morning, didn't he?"

"Ah, stupid tape! The problem has been solved!" Nagayama Naoki is full of confidence. This magic recipe that can cure all diseases is no joke!

"Okay~" Looking at Nagayama Naoki in front of him, Yoshimura Otomo didn't know what to say.

"But it's just right that you came. There happened to be something new that needed your decision yesterday."

After Fangcun Dayou stopped hesitating, he immediately remembered something else and took a document over.

"Yesterday, Minister Morikawa of Kadokawa called me." Yoshimura Otomo pointed to the project establishment document and said, "Kadokawa hopes to increase its participation in the production committees of the next two films, "Hot Blood School 2" and "The Ring 2."

Naoki Nagayama flipped through the documents and was a little surprised to see that there were other companies that wanted to get involved:

"Advertising company? Why is there a gaming company?"

"Yes, Kadokawa has contacted many investors who want to join the production committee." Yoshimura Otomo explained, "This is actually normal. After all, in order to share costs and risks, a normal film company would definitely have more people on the production committee."

Then he looked at Naoki Nagayama and laughed: "For our previous series of films, we basically only had one or two investors, which is very rare."

"It has been more than a decade since we have seen a film production company like Shuyou that makes money purely from box office sales."

"Haha, that's true~"

Naoki Nagayama smiled. In film production, although the box office is the biggest source of income, there are many other ways to make money, such as advertising, copyright, movie discs, etc. There are even various unspeakable gray monetization channels.

It’s just that Shuyou had never had much contact with it before, but now with the rise of its fame, more and more people have seen that Shuyou Films is not a flash in the pan, and have begun to try to catch up with this fast-moving train.

After flipping through it briefly, Naoki Nagayama said to Yoshimura Otomo:

"Otomo-san, I have no opinion on these. As long as there are no problems when the company reviews them, that's fine. As for the Film Division, Shuichi-san just needs to sign it in the end."

"Hey, I understand." Yoshimura Otomo nodded. Originally, he could have directly contacted Ido Shuichi, but he still wanted to talk to Naoki Nagayama first.

"But, what's the matter with that game company?" Naoki Nagayama started chatting, "Is anyone going to adapt Hot-Blooded High School into a game?"

"This" Yoshimura Otomo also didn't understand, "Maybe it's just borrowing the background or something? The road to dominance that started from Suzuran High School."

"Hahaha~ This feels really interesting. When the game comes out, I'm going to try it~"

Did Nintendo come out in this era? Naoki Nagayama fell into deep thought.

While the two were chatting and laughing, the office door opened again and Idou Shuichi walked in slowly.
Yoshimura Otomo raised his head and opened his eyes wide. Nagayama Naoki looked back and his expression also became surprised:
"Shuuichi-san!!" x2, "Did you suddenly develop a terminal illness?"

Because Idou Shuichi who walked in from the door was so scary, with his pale face, sunken eye sockets, lifeless but bloodshot pupils, and slow but erratic gait, as if he was about to fly to Takama-ga-hara in the next moment.
"Dumb tape~~" a hoarse voice came out, "I'm just a little tired"

Last night, his wife insisted that every gift counts and she should repay him well, so Idou Shuichi went through hardships and achieved a new achievement: seven times a night.
But he only sent flowers once! Who sent the other six gifts?
Idou Shuichi slowly sat down on the chair, his eyes finally focused on Naoki Nagayama's face, and he slowly said, "Naoki-san's gift from yesterday."

"Ah, got it!" Naoki Nagayama took over the conversation and smiled, "How about it, Jiawei-san, are you satisfied? I spent a long time choosing it!"

It's you, after all. Idou Shuichi could only grin, "She's very satisfied."

The aftereffects were a bit scary, but how could he tell outsiders about this? Idou Shuichi could only hold his hatred in his heart.

"That's good!" Naoki Nagayama breathed a sigh of relief, "Then Shuichi-san, let's make a deal, our business is over! Don't ambush me at the entrance of Yamazakurain!"

".Hi." Idou Shuichi no longer had the energy to ambush, "Naoki-san, do you have anything else to do today?"

Naoki Nagayama thought about it and realized that apart from checking the progress of the KTV and drinking tea at the Shuyou Capital office, there really seemed to be nothing else to do:
"Um, nothing too important."

"Then please come with me to the set today," said Idou Shuichi, "I am not very strong today, so I may not be able to direct too much of the filming."

It’s a last resort when you reach middle age!

"." Naoki Nagayama nodded sympathetically, "No problem."

Inside the Jiayuan Restaurant, the crew of "Love Like the Rain" is preparing to start filming.

As for Naoki Nagayama's joining, Masataka Komori, the assistant director, had no problem at all, and the other crew members also thought it was normal. Only a few actors felt a little strange.
This is the first time for them to work with Shuyou on a film. Is it okay to suddenly change the director?

"Zheng Xiaojun, how far have we filmed?"

Naoki Nagayama asked Komori Masataka, observing the other actors:

The oldest handsome guy among them is naturally Takewaki Muga, but today he is dressed in a middle-aged hairstyle, without too much makeup and wearing a normal suit. All we can say is that he must have been very handsome when he was young.
After several months of body shaping and growing her hair long, Kaoru Kohiruimaki has become a healthy-looking high school student.
As for the other actors, the older waiters and the actors in the kitchen, they all look familiar. Perhaps they are the legendary golden passers-by in the film industry. They look familiar, but I can't remember what performances they have performed.

In fact, this is also the norm. Only in Stephen Chow's movies do the supporting roles and extras leave an impression that is no less than that of the protagonists.

Komori Masataka took the shooting schedule and said, "We are just about to start shooting in the restaurant today. This is the first restaurant scene."

He turned his head to look at Idou Shuichi who was curled up behind the camera to rest, and for some reason he felt weak.

"I see." Naoki Nagayama casually walked around the restaurant a few times, "This restaurant has been renovated, right?"

"It was originally a tea restaurant, but we made some changes based on the movie script, which took about a month," said Masataka Komori, who walked around with him. "The paper documents, bills, printers, etc. in the office are all the original configurations of the restaurant, which makes it more authentic."

"Well, that's right." Naoki Nagayama walked around the kitchen, "Are these kitchen utensils usable?"

"Hey, no problem at all."

"The actors in the kitchen will also use these, right?"

"Hey!" Masataka Komori was a little hesitant. He thought that someone should know a little bit about cooking.

“It looks like it won’t happen.”

Naoki Nagayama smiled and said that the kitchen in a restaurant is not the same as the kitchen at home. He touched the kitchen utensils in the back kitchen, which were clean and fresh. It was cleaned very well, but it didn't look like the kitchen of a real prosperous restaurant!

In the background of "Love Like Rain", the business here is so good that even with two part-time students working, it is still not enough to handle the staff!

Komori Masataka asked a little nervously, "Naoki-san, which scene do you think we should start filming from?"

"Don't think about filming yet~" Naoki Nagayama patted Komori Masataka's shoulder, "Come on, Masataka-kun, let's start cooking! Let's make this kitchen have more oil smoke!"

"Eh?"

"Go ahead, call all the actors in the kitchen over, and let's start making morning tea! For everyone in the crew!"

"?!!"

So, at the filming site of "Love Like the Rain", a group of crew members sat in the restaurant seats and ordered food, drinks and desserts like real guests.
Then the leading actors and Naoki Nagayama started working in the kitchen and actually cooked food for everyone.
