Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 906 Chapter 915, it’s all because of that hollow rotten wood!!!

On summer nights, the sea breeze takes away the daytime heat, making the coastal town a little cooler.

As the night deepened, the sign of "Midnight Diner" outside a izakaya near the port began to light up, attracting hungry diners who were in urgent need of some midnight snacks to fill their empty stomachs.
"Zizzizi~"

The familiar sound of frying rang out again, the breaded pork chops sizzled in the hot oil, and the aroma of fat and meat mixed together, making people drool~
However, the one who was cooking this time was not the eldest brother Nagayama Aoki, but his father Nagayama Ken. And he was not cooking for the actors of "Midnight Diner", but for a regular customer.

When we were filming "Midnight Diner" we said that if there were hungry guests, we could eat together as long as they didn't block the camera.

"The fried pork chop is coated with egg liquid and fried again? How is this way of eating?" Hirota Daimori, a regular customer sitting in a remote corner, was a little surprised to see the unusual dish.

"It's the menu that Naoki created. I heard it was specially prepared for the show 'Midnight Diner'."

"Ken-san." Looking at the camera and microphone next to him with some curiosity, Hirota Daishou asked quietly, "If I sit here, will I also be on camera?"

"Do you want to be on camera?" Facing a familiar customer, Ken Nagayama was not so taciturn, but instead joked, "I can ask Naoki to let you show up!"

Just let the camera slide past him; even he himself has been photographed many times.

"Forget it!" The regular customer hesitated for a moment and finally gave up. "My face would scare the kids if it was shown on TV!"

Looking at the face of the regular customer that had been battered by the sea breeze, Nagayama Ken nodded:
"You still have some self-awareness, Omori-san."

"." Hirota Daisho was silent for a moment, as if he was choked by Nagayama Ken's sudden cold joke. His lips trembled for a long time before he uttered, ".You black-bellied old thing!"

"."

The two old men's whispers naturally did not attract much attention from the program crew. At this time, Naoki Nagayama's main attention was on the actors in front of him.

He watched the actors eating through the camera lens and whispered to Matsuo Muneo:

“At this time, there is no need for too much expression.

Currently, Japanese actors like to use exaggerated expressions to perform.
It may be possible in other TV series, but in Midnight Diner, we are shooting ordinary people from the bottom of society."

“There are no beautiful scenes, no bloody fights, no fierce conflicts, and no dramatic stories.”

"Remember, we are all ordinary people. Come have an ordinary midnight snack and chat about ordinary daily troubles."

Matsuo Muneo listened very carefully. Although such a uneventful plot might go against the common sense of current films, such a plain and leisurely story is just the life of an ordinary person!

This most simple warmth is the source of the charm of this TV series!

"Ka!" Naoki Nagayama suddenly shouted "ka", and said to the young actor in the middle, "Musashi-kun, when you say 'Ou Yixi', don't be so exaggerated! Are you also so exaggerated when you eat the food your mother cooks at home?!"

"The food my mother cooks is terrible," Fujimura Musashi said without restraint, with a hint of disgust.

"."

Naoki Nagayama turned his head subconsciously and looked at Mrs. Fujimura who was sitting in the rest area outside the camera.
Sure enough, the old lady's face was a little red, and she clenched her hands and waved at her son. It seemed that she would be beaten when she returned home.
However, looking at Fujimura Musashi's nonchalant look, he was obviously used to it. Nagayama Naoki didn't know whether he should envy such a mother-son relationship or something else.
Anyway, it should be a very close relationship~
"Ahem. Anyway, just say 'delicious' normally, don't be too exaggerated." After explaining for a while, Naoki Nagayama signaled the crew to start filming again.
"On your marks. Action!"

So, the filming of "Midnight Diner" continued.
It was almost dawn when today's filming was completed. Before leaving get off work, Naoki Nagayama held a small meeting with the crew.

"Mina-san, take a good rest today. We have to go outside to shoot some off-set scenes tomorrow afternoon."

"Hi!" "No problem"

This is written in the shooting schedule, so naturally no one will have any objections.

"Also," Naoki Nagayama said, "our Midnight Diner will be aired in September, in less than a week.
There should be a trailer now, you can go to Tokyo TV to take a look."

"Hi!" This time the answer was even more excited.

"Okay, today's work is over, let's go!"

After hearing this, the crew members quickly began to pack up the cameras and other equipment, moved them to the van outside, and then followed the van back to the hotel.

Naoki Nagayama grabbed Muneo Matsuo again:

"Mongsheng, after tomorrow's filming, I have to go to Fukuoka. So I'll be relying on you the day after tomorrow!"

"Hi!" Matsuo Muneo nodded. After trying for a while, he felt that he had no problem. "What is Naoki-san doing in Fukuoka?"

".Children should not ask too many questions about adult matters!"

"."

After the izakaya was finally locked, Naoki Nagayama and his older brother Aoki Nagayama drove a truck towards their home.

"Naoki, how is the script for 'Hayato: The New World' going?" Nagayama Aoki was somewhat curious about his grandfather's autobiographical script.

“Hahaha, I’ve only just written the beginning,” Naoki Nagayama laughed, “I’ve finished the outline, but it’ll take a long time to finish it!”

"Can I take a look first?" asked the eldest brother Aoki. "I'll give it back to you after I've taken a look and promise not to damage it."

A script is not a novel. Eh? It seems like it is not impossible to read it as a novel.
"Okay, I'll give it to you when I get home."

Anyway, they are just sheets of manuscript paper, so there is no need to worry about splitting them up.

Fukuoka Prefecture has just ended its rainy season, and it is hot and humid.

Akina Nakamori's concert in Fukuoka was held in Chuo Ward, which was very busy and the temperature was not low at all.

"It's so hot in Fukuoka!" Akina Nakamori wiped the sweat from her forehead. She had just warmed up her body, but the sweat started to flow down.

"Yes." Ueda Maki was rummaging through her makeup box, "So this time the makeup must not be sweat-proof."

"Is the air conditioning in the hall not working?" asked Akina Nakamori.

"In such a large space, the temperature can't drop much," said Ueda Maki, "and it's even harder to drop when there are more people. The humidity is also very high."

In short, the air conditioning system of this era is not good~
"." Nakamori Akina didn't say anything. There was nothing she could do about it.
After washing her face in the bathroom, Akina Nakamori began to put on makeup in front of the makeup mirror, but suddenly asked:
"Has Naoki-san contacted you?"

"Naoki-san?" Ueda Maki was stunned for a moment, "I don't think so, and Fang Ze-san didn't seem to have said anything either."

"Then how did he get in?" Nakamori Akina was a little surprised, "Without a ticket."

"Naoki-san, if you want to come in, you don't need a ticket, right?"

After the staff recognizes Naoki Nagayama's face, they will definitely let him in. Who doesn't know that Akina Nakamori and Naoki Nagayama are engaged?
Do I have to be a stumbling block who doesn't understand the ways of the world? !
"Alas, Naoki-san didn't say when he would come." Akina Nakamori spoke to Naoki Nagayama on the phone last night. She only knew that he would come to Fukuoka today to attend her concert, but she didn't tell him the specific time.

This makes Mingcai very entangled now~
While the two people in the lounge of the performance venue were chatting about a man, Naoki Nagayama had secretly come to the outside of the venue.

I took a taxi directly to the concert venue after getting off the plane, and then I put on my sun hat and mixed in with the fans waiting to enter the venue. In such hot weather, who would carefully look at the people next to them? And I wore a sun hat!

Then I looked around and indeed, my eyes met those of someone who was looking around.
I've confirmed through eye contact that you are the one I'm looking for!

This is the traditional NPC that is indispensable in every concert - the scalper!
Naoki Nagayama made up his mind and quietly walked over, like a spy making a meeting:
"Are there any tickets left?"

"There are some!"

"Good location?"

“The price will be high!”

"No problem. The front row is closest to the stage."

"This"

This was originally the golden position reserved for him. He is also a fan of Akina Nakamori.
"You don't know! This position is reserved for me!"

Naoki Nagayama asked in confusion, "With a job like yours, do you go to concerts?"

"My dear guest, you have misunderstood. Akina-chan is my beloved idol, the treasure of my heart. I have the best seats at her concerts."

After hesitating for a moment, Huang Niu gritted his teeth and said stubbornly,
“You have to pay more!!!”

"."

In the end, with a ten-fold premium, Naoki Nagayama got the best seat in the front row!

As the sun gradually set, the concert was finally about to start. The fans who had been waiting outside for a long time lined up in order and walked into the venue.

The huge venue was fully air-conditioned beforehand, so it was a bit chilly at the beginning. However, with thousands of people entering, thousands of 37-degree small stoves gathered together, which soon exceeded the power of the air conditioner, and the scene began to become hot.
After everyone entered, the lights in the venue began to dim, waiting for the performance to begin.

The rustling sounds continued to be heard, and then turned into a buzzing discussion. Fans were all waiting for Akina Nakamori to appear, and in the dim light where no one could see her face clearly, Naoki Nagayama also became one of them, chatting with the fans he just met next to him.

"I came here from Hokkaido just to see Akina's performance!" Kashiwagi Hodaka, who has not yet graduated from high school, still has a light beard around his mouth.

"That's really far!" Naoki Nagayama nodded, "You are such a loyal fan of Akina!"

"Of course, I'm about to join the Royal Guards!" Kashiwagi Hodaka said with a smile, "My name is Kashiwagi Hodaka, where are you from, brother?"

"I came from Shizuoka." said Naoki Nagayama.

"That's not close!" Kashiwagi Hodoka calculated subconsciously, "We need to take a plane, right?"

"Yes, the flight was at noon." Naoki Nagayama nodded, "Luckily I made it in time for the concert!"

"That's not easy!" Kashiwagi Hodaka sighed and patted Naoyama Naoki's arm, "It seems that you must be a loyal fan of Akina!"

"." In a way, this is not wrong. It is normal to be a fan of your wife.
After a brief silence, Kashiwagi Hodaka looked at the curtain and changed the subject:
"I wonder if Akina-chan will bring that again this time."

"Which one?"

"That's it, the engagement ring!" Kashiwagi Hodaka suddenly got angry, "The one with the sapphire! Akina-chan wears it to every concert now!"

"Is that so~" Naoki Nagayama was a little happy.

"Yeah, it's all because of that hollow rotten wood!" Kashiwagi Hodaka snorted.

"."Hollow rotten wood? "What hollow rotten wood?"

"It's the guy who proposed to me!" Kashiwagi Hodaka said bluntly, "It's all because of that hollow rotten wood!"

"."

So it's me! Naoki Naoyama is speechless. How can you be heartless?
"Why is there no heart? Why is it rotten wood again?"

"Because you have no heart and you got Akina-chan's heart but you're still spreading rumors with other people!" Kashiwagi Hodaka said angrily, "And weren't you photographed going to a nightclub recently?! You're not paying attention and you're hanging out in a nightclub again. You're a hollow, rotten piece of wood!"

Ah. I went to a nightclub with Brother Feng, and was photographed by paparazzi after all. But luckily it was a back view, and the newspapers could only say it was speculation, so it only took up a small amount of space and did not cause any public opinion storm.
But Akina's fans are a bit indignant!
"A guy like this actually wants to steal our Akina! He must want to lock Akina up at home and fuck her all by himself." Kashiwagi Hodaka's next words were vague and could not be heard clearly.

"But the hollow wood is pretty amazing. They even bought such an expensive engagement ring. I asked the jewelry store and they said it would cost at least several million!"

Indeed, the sapphire ring cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. It's not that there are more expensive ones, but Naoki Nagayama is worried that Akina might not wear jewelry that is too expensive.
"If I had money, I would definitely give Akina a ring like that! But it has to be all diamonds!" Kashiwagi Hodaka said with anticipation, "If I propose to her then, Akina will definitely agree, right?!"

".It's unlikely." Naoki Nagayama moved his mouth slightly and held back his smile.

"Huh? Why?" Kashiwagi Hodoka looked over.

At this moment, the lights on the main stage began to light up. As the curtain slowly opened, Akina, wearing a royal blue stage costume, had already got into position to sing, and the music was about to start.
Naoki Nagayama looked him straight in the eyes: "Because Akina has already agreed to my proposal!"

"You, you, you, you!" Kashiwagi Hodaka seemed to have just seen the appearance of the person next to him, and his tone became excited.

"By the way, I have a name. My name is Naoki Nagayama. It's not some hollow rotten wood! Remember that!"

As if in revenge, Naoki Nagayama patted Kashiwagi Hodaka's back hard, causing him to wear a mask of pain on his face.
"Okay, the show has begun! Pay attention and enjoy it!!!"

"."

Kashiwagi Hodaka was speechless until the powerful music sounded in his ears.
The first song is "Forbidden Zone"!
