Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 851 859, Becoming the No.1 in the Idol World
When we returned to the 80 Building in Takanawa District in the evening, it was almost dawn.

When Akina Nakamori opened the door and walked in, the sensor light in the entrance hall lit up with soft light. Yingtaro, who was in the doghouse in the corner, raised his head, and immediately wagged his tail when he saw his mistress. He wanted to bark but was stopped by Akina with a gesture to silence her.

"Inatarou, is Naoki-san asleep yet?" Akina Nakamori touched Inatarou's head and asked softly.

"Woof~ (Can't you see by yourself? I'm just a dog)" the dog answered softly.

"Yoshi yoshi, then you should continue to rest and don't make any noise~"

She continued to touch the dog's head and also stroked Nyankotaro who had stuck his head out to watch the fun. Then Akina Nakamori tiptoed towards the bedroom.

In this large flat that I bought, there is a dressing room and a thick wall between the master bedroom's bathroom and the bedroom, so the sound of Akina washing up will not be heard in the bedroom.

After taking a bath, Akina Nakamori changed into pajamas, then gently climbed onto the bed in the bedroom, and then skillfully got into the arms of the sleeping man~
Naoki Nagayama actually didn't sleep for too long, even Akina's gentle movements woke him up.

He hugged Akina tighter with his arms. Naoki Nagayama smelled the faint fragrance of water vapor in her hair and asked in a daze:
"You're back now?"

"Ah~ Did you wake Naoki-san?" Akina Nakamori hooked her hands around Naoki Nagayama's neck, pressed half of her soft body on her boyfriend, and rubbed her smooth cheek against her boyfriend's face, "Private Marseille~ Please forgive me~"

"."

Is this an apology? Who taught you to apologize like this?
Naoki Nagayama felt that his girlfriend, who was originally very innocent, started to become very good at teasing men after moving to the 80 Building for a while. Was it because of Yamaguchi Momoe that she became a bad person, or did she watch some anime that he didn't know about?

However, Naoki Nagayama, who had just fallen asleep, was feeling sleepy at this moment and could not muster any interest at all for the time being.

He could only turn sideways and hug Akina, holding his girlfriend's moving legs with one foot, and then free his other hand to press down her soft waist, forming a semi-finished lock technique:

"Have a good sleep when you get back."

"Well"

Akina wanted to refute, but Naoyama Naoki pressed his chin against her forehead, forcing her to remain quiet.

When lovers hug each other so intimately, their skin touches their breath, and they can even feel each other's heartbeats, it is sometimes more spiritually satisfying than having sex.

Smelling the familiar scent of her boyfriend, Akina's breathing gradually calmed down and she felt sleepy. However, the problems from the evening suddenly came to her mind again and Akina felt unable to sleep.

"Naoki-san?" Akina Nakamori asked softly, "Are you asleep?"

"Um"

"What do you think of Spain?"

"Ok?"

“It’s great, right? The scenery is beautiful and the culture is welcoming.”

"?"

"Let's go to Spain on our honeymoon!"

"."

Although Naoki Nagayama didn't understand why the honeymoon was suddenly mentioned, he had no intention of objecting to such a small matter. He thought about it and thought about it.
"Ok!"

Hearing this affirmative answer, Akina Nakamori seemed to have fulfilled her wish. She completely relaxed and let sleepiness take over her consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.

After the first ray of sunlight passed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the entire large flat became bright.

Even though you can't hear much traffic at high altitudes, the fresh breath has already reached the top floor, and even people who are conscious in sleep can roughly feel the arrival of daytime.

When Naoki Nagayama woke up, he had no idea what he had said yesterday when he was in a daze. He just felt that Akina was very happy today and she was even humming a song while making breakfast.

He was reading today's morning paper at the dining table. The first page of the entertainment section was still reporting on Seiko Matsuda's marriage. It also specifically pointed out that her television appearances would be gradually reduced, and her final concert was expected to be in Osaka.

Akina Nakamori walked to the dining table with toasted bread, fried sausages, eggs, bacon, etc., as well as milk and juice. A pure Western breakfast.

By the way, I glanced at the content of the newspaper:
"Shengzi-san said yesterday that this might be his last time on "THE BEST TEN" and he might really retire in the future."

"Didn't she say she wouldn't give up her career to get married?" Nagayama Naoki was curious, "She even broke up with Go Hiromi because of this!"

"After getting married, you have to pay more attention to your family, have kids, etc. There's always a priority between family and career."

Akina Nakamori still envies the way of getting married and retiring. To her, getting married and starting a family are more important than work.

"I don't think Shengzi Sang is someone who would consider family more important than career."

“Maybe things will be different after marriage.”

Naoki Nagayama did not comment too much on this, after all, he had never been married in his two lifetimes.
While eating the toast, Naoki Nagayama suddenly thought:

"By the way, Akina, if Matsuda Seiko retires, won't Akina become the undisputed No. 1 in the idol world?!"

"Naoki-san, stop joking," Akina Nakamori said modestly with a smile, "Kyoko-chan, Satomi-chan, Yuu-chan, they are all great idols, and there's also Yukiko-chan who's becoming more and more popular."

"There's no one more powerful than Akina at the moment!"

"Everyone is the same. Besides, the idol world is so small, the pop music world is the big stage!"

Akina Nakamori is not unaware that she is about to reach the top, but her goal now is no longer just to be an idol, her goal is to transform into a pop singer.

Then the opponents they face will be more numerous and stronger, such as seniors Kenji Sawada, Miyuki Nakajima, Maria Takeuchi, Kazumasa Oda, the popular band Square Plaid and Safety Zone, and the powerful singer Theresa Dun from a foreign country, etc.

".Akina's goal is too high!" Naoki Nagayama exclaimed, "Being able to be the No. 1 idol means she has surpassed other pop singers in terms of popularity!"

"There are no classic songs, no million-dollar albums, and no platinum records."

It's a pity for Akina Nakamori. In fact, up to now, except for "Snow Flower" given by Naoki Nagayama, the popularity of other songs mostly depends on her popularity as an idol.
"It looks like Akina has a long way to go in the future!" Nagayama Naoki nodded, picked up the juice and clinked glasses with his girlfriend, "Dad!"

"Hahaha, Naoki-san"

Akina Nakamori was amused and childishly picked up the milk and clinked it with it.
"Just get daddy!"

Akina Nakamori, who is only 20 years old now, has the support of her boyfriend and is very confident about the future!

After breakfast, Akina Nakamori went to shoot the cover of her new song, while Nagayama Naoki continued to Ota Ward.

This time, Katsuyoshi Ishikawa took people directly to the prepared set:
"Naoki-san, according to your request yesterday, four studios have been arranged."

Naoki Nagayama followed him around the four studios and nodded:
“Yeah, very good, very real”

"Naoki-san, are you going to shoot here today?" asked Katsuyoshi Ishikawa.

"Hey, there's not much left." Nagayama Naoki estimated that it could be completed in two or three days. "Katsuura, where are the rest of the crew?"

“I took everyone to the big lounge.”

After Naoki Nagayama called Matsuo Muneo and others together, he told them the following arrangements in front of them.

"Mr. Zongsheng, the next few scenes are all reflected in the script. They are probably the family discussion, the script reading meeting, and the supplementary filming of the abandoned factory. I will leave it to you to direct!"

"Huh? Me?" Matsuo Muneo asked in surprise.

"Hey, it's not difficult at all. The camera positions are pretty much fixed," Nagayama Naoki drew on the storyboard, "Just follow the normal performance."

"This"

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it!"

Only Naoki Nagayama would be so confident in handing over the directing work to his subordinates, so he was able to train two backbones, Masataka Komori and Kyon Kijima, and even Shuichi Ido in his early days.

After receiving the affirmation, Matsuo Muneo immediately gained confidence and began to arrange the work of the crew.

At this time, Naoki Nagayama brought Shuichi Ido and Kyon Kimura, who were there to join in the fun, to the outside of the set.

"Shuichi-san, there's nothing interesting to watch next, go and work on your Squid Game!" Nagayama Naoki said to Idou Shuichi with a hint of disdain, "Last time they said TBS was willing to buy the broadcast rights, how's it going now?"

"Ha, no problem at all!" Idou Shuichi's face was relieved, "I have already negotiated with the director of the production department, and it will be broadcasted during the prime time on the weekend!"

Naoki Nagayama was a little surprised: "It hasn't even been completed yet? And you agreed? And in the prime time?"

"Haha, this is all thanks to Kijima-kun!" Idou Xiu smiled, "After 'Love Century' became a hit, all other TV stations saw Shuyou's ability in TV drama production, and everyone can't wait to work with Shuyou!"

"It's all because of Naoki-san's good script!" Kyon Kimura waved his hands repeatedly, giving the credit to Naoki Nagayama.

Naoki Nagayama looked at Kyon Kijima next to him and patted him on the shoulder:

"Kijima-kun, don't be so modest. Your directing and editing skills are already good enough to be a master!"

"No, no, I still have a lot to learn from Naoki-san!"

Idou Shuichi interrupted:

"You two should stop taking credit for each other's work. This is the credit of all team members!"

"makes sense."

Returning to the topic of "Squid Game", Naoki Nagayama continued to ask:

"Shuichi-san, has the protagonist found someone?"

"I haven't found a suitable actor who is a bit ruffian but kind-hearted to be the lead actor yet. There are other roles that need to be found one by one!"

Shuichi Idou was a little distressed. Every time he wanted to find someone, it was very difficult, but it was always easy for Nagayama Naoki.

"Naoki-san can easily find famous actors."

“That’s because I don’t pick actors.”

Naoki Nagayama does not have any special selection for the leading actors in his movies. Except for Takeshi Kitano, the other actors are almost randomly chosen. These actors will become more famous after starring in his movies.

This is also the reason why many actors want to appear in Naoki Nagayama's projects!

After thinking for a while, Naoki Nagayama suddenly said, "Actually, the one who selects the members is the one who slaps. I think we can ask Tomokazu Miura to try."

"Eh? Miura Tomokazu?"

Idou Shuichi was even more surprised. This guy used to be a first-line actor, after all, he was able to work with Yamaguchi Momoe. However, Yamaguchi Momoe was both his success and his failure. After getting married, his status dropped by more than one level and he could only play supporting roles.

"Well, because the new home is close to Miura Tomokazu and Yamaguchi Momoe, I've met them a few times. I think he's just the right guy now."

The relationship between his girlfriend and Yamaguchi Momoe seemed to be getting closer and closer, and they often treated each other to meals. Naoki Nagayama also had dinner with Miura Tomokazu twice. Naturally, they became familiar with each other.

In addition, Naoki Nagayama actually admired Miura Tomokazu. After all, when he was at the peak of his popularity, he married Yamaguchi Momoe even though he knew that marrying her would ruin his popularity and reduce his fame, and he never cheated or divorced her for decades afterwards because of this.
From Naoki Nagayama's point of view, he is actually very manly and responsible! From this point of view, the future traffic star Lu is also very responsible and has more courage than most guys in the entertainment industry.

“Is that so?” Idou Shuichi nodded without thinking too much, “Hey, I’ll invite him to audition!”

After all, he is just a supporting role. He had a strong presence at the beginning of the first season, but almost disappeared afterwards. I don’t know if Naoki-san will have more roles in the future.

After talking about Idou Shuichi, Nagayama Naoki turned to Kijima Kyon:

"Kijima-kun, Love Century has ended. Although there are no upcoming projects for you, it doesn't mean your career as a director will stop."

"What does Naoki-san mean?"

"Now Masataka-kun is using 'Our Little Sister' to train new people." Naoki Naoki said, "Then Kijima-kun, you have to help Shuyou expand the business."

"At present, Otomo-san has collected a lot of scripts, of varying quality."

"Kijima-kun, go get in touch with those screenwriters and find some excellent scripts. You can shoot them yourself, or save them for other newcomers."

Almost all of Shuyou's films rely on Naoki Nagayama's scripts, and he had long wanted to adjust this.

However, there weren't many younger directors before, and the only one who could direct on his own was Shuichi Idou, and he couldn't handle it all, so he just managed to get by.

But as a mature enterprise, we cannot rely too much on one person! Therefore, it is essential to cultivate backbone forces and expand film projects!

Kijima Kyon thought about it for a moment and nodded seriously:

"Naoki-san, I get it! I'll find more scripts for Shuyou!"

"Well, I leave it to you!"

After these words, the arrangements for Shuichi Ido and Kyon Kido were made clear. Nagayama Naoki then returned to the set and watched Muneo Matsuo directing the crew to film.

The movie "Don't Stop the Camera" uses a one-shot live broadcast format, mainly because the person in charge of the TV station planned a zombie series theme, which led to a series of funny accidents afterwards.

What we are shooting now is the cause and effect and the preparation beforehand.
Naoki Nagayama was very satisfied with how methodical Matsuo Muneo was. In three days, the filming would be basically finished, and another week would be needed for editing.
It will definitely be released in May!
So, it’s time to increase publicity!
