Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 909 Chapter 917, You are still young, it is not good to know too much!!!

Today in Tokyo, the sun is still scorching hot~
Naoki Nagayama came out of Narita Airport, shielding his eyes with his hands to block the strong sunlight, looking for the professional driver who came to pick him up.

Then, at the airport gate, Toda Tomiyasu ran over in a hurry. The young man ran in front of Naoki Nagayama and bowed to apologize:
"Private Marseille, Naoki-san, there's a slight traffic jam on the road."

"Ha, it's nothing, traffic jams during rush hour are very common~"

Naoki Nagayama patted Toda Tomoysu on the shoulder and comforted him, saying that he had temporarily called the full-time driver and asked him to pick him up.

When I woke up in the morning, I was still in the Okura Hotel in Fukuoka and saw Akina calling Maki Ueda to send her clothes. Then at around 9 o'clock, I had already flown to Tokyo.

"Naoki-san, don't you have any luggage?" Toda Tomiyasu looked around his boss in surprise.

"Well, no."

Naoki Nagayama said casually that he actually only brought a wallet, just like people in the future who only bring a mobile phone when going out.

"Hey, please come this way, the car is parked in the parking lot."

Toda Tomoyasa respectfully led Naoki Nagayama toward the sedan, and after they got into the Toyota sedan, he asked:
"Naoki-san, are we going to Yamazakurain first?"

"Forget it, let's go directly to the Shuyou Building~" Naoki Nagayama casually flipped through the magazines in the car, "Anyway, I'm going to attend the preview of "Our Little Sister" in the afternoon, and it's closer in Ikebukuro~"

"Hi!"

Toda Tomoyasu is a pretty good driver, and his car doesn't shake too much when driving on Tokyo's congested roads. No wonder he was chosen as a full-time driver.

Naoki Nagayama looked out of the car window and saw a blazing sun hanging high above the blue sky and white clouds, casting heat waves equally on the entire city of Tokyo.

The city's road surface was slightly twisted and the asphalt was a bit sticky. When the car tires rolled over, you could seem to hear a slight clicking sound, just like tearing off sticky tape.

The trees on the roadside, in green belts and in parks also look miserable, with weak cicadas screaming feebly on the branches, "It's hot, hot!"
"It's so hot today, will there be enough people to come to the preview?"

Hearing Naoki Naoki's mumbling, Toda Tomiyasu, who was driving, replied excitedly:

"Of course! Naoki-san's movie "Our Little Sister" has been discussed a lot recently!"

The promotional posters for "Our Little Sister" have been put up, and advertisements have been placed on TV and in the media. It is not surprising that Naoki Nagayama has attracted everyone's attention:
"Oh? What is everyone discussing?"

"We are discussing it." Toda Tomoyasu smiled shyly, "Which one should we marry?"

"???"

"The eldest sister looks intellectual and warm, the second sister is very charming, the third sister is confused and cute, and the fourth sister is youthful and lively." Toda Tomoan actually thought of an adjective for each heroine, "In short, I feel that each of them is suitable to be a wife."

"Do you want to marry them all?" Naoki Nagayama smiled.

"If it's possible, that would be great."

"."

Seeing Toda Tomiyasu's awkward smile in the rearview mirror, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but slap his forehead. The promotional video he asked Komori Masataka to edit was too exaggerated. It was full of beautiful shots of the heroine. How could these young people control themselves!
“Besides this movie, what else are people talking about?”

"There's more." Toda Tomoan was stunned for a moment, "Maybe because I'm a member of Shuyou, I pay more attention to my family. But recently I always hear people discussing "Squid Game"."

"Oh? It seems like it's almost the end?"

"Hi!" Toda Tomoyasu nodded, "Recently, the most discussed topic is whether there really is such a squid game."

"?"

"It's the upper class that organizes this kind of game where people's lives are at stake," Toda Tomoyasu lowered his voice. "The royal family, the nobles, the financial groups. Do they really have the ability to do such a thing?"

"."

Naoki Nagayama remained silent. The human trafficking on the dark web, the Lolita Island in the United States, and the scam gardens in Myanmar and Laos were all telling him that beyond the bright side of the world, there were many shady places.

Is there one in Neon?
Although Naoki Nagayama and others went to high-end clubs, do you think that all the technicians in those low-end custom shops in Kabukicho were volunteers?
"Naoki-san?" Toda Tomayasu felt the silence behind him and asked again with some uneasiness.

"Toda-kun," Naoki Nagayama said calmly, "You are still young, there is no good in knowing too much!"

"."

The young chauffeur shut his mouth and wisely stopped talking.

Naoki Nagayama, who was leaning against the back row, also fell into silence because of his thoughts just now. I pity the world, there are so many worries~
It was not until he arrived at the Shuyou Building that Naoki Nagayama regained his composure. After all, he was no longer a worried child. Before getting off the car, he patted the shoulder of Toda Tomoysu, who still had a tense face:

"Toda-kun, Romain Rolland once said: True heroism is to still love life after seeing the truth of life. Although the world is tattered, there are always people patching it up~
So, don’t lose faith in life!”

".Hi!" Toda Tomoan replied with some confusion.

He didn't know that this sentence was not only to comfort him, but also to comfort himself. After all, he was not a saint. It was already a great achievement to be able to protect his relatives and friends and live a good life.
"Naoki-san!" "You're back!"

When Xing Jiahua and Suzuki Yukika at the front desk saw Naoki Naoyama, they were surprised and greeted him enthusiastically, which made Naoki Naoyama feel a little better.

"Yeah. I just got off the plane." Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "I went to Fukuoka and had Hakata Ramen!"

"Huh?!" Suzuki Yukika opened her eyes wide, "Naoki-san went to Fukuoka just to eat Hakata ramen?"

"Yeah. Can't I?"

I heard that in the past, someone would fly to Paris to feed pigeons at the mere thought. Now, Naoki Nagayama can also fly to eat ramen at the mere thought!

Suzuki Yukika obviously believed it, and whispered: "Really. Rich (very quiet) and willful."

But Xing Jiahua next to him was not so easy to deceive:

"Naoki-san is really good at joking. I heard that Mina-chan's latest concert will be in Fukuoka, right?"

"Oh? Is Hana-chan so smart?" Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "It will be difficult for a girl to get married if she is too smart~"

"Naoki-san!" Xing Jiahua rolled her eyes.
"Hahaha~"

After teasing the two little girls, Naoki Nagayama walked towards his office in a good mood.

It's been a long time since I last came back, but the office is still clean and tidy, and even the succulents on the table are growing well.

Sitting in the boss chair, Naoki Nagayama coquettishly put his feet on the table and read the newspaper, wanting to experience the rebelliousness of the overbearing president. At this moment, the office door was knocked open.
"Naoki-san, I heard you're back?"

Idou Shuichi pushed the door open and walked in. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Naoyama Naoki's posture, but he didn't say much.
"Is there anything you want to tell me about the preview of 'Our Little Sister'?"

"Ah," Naoki Nagayama said as he took his foot off awkwardly. "The publicity for 'Our Little Sister' is very good. I heard about it on the street. Many people are discussing it."

"Haha, it's really good~" Yitang Xiu nodded, "Zheng Xiaojun has been very busy these two days"

"Zheng Xiaojun is really good"

The two of them chatted for a few meaningless words and agreed to go together in the afternoon. Then Idou Shuichi suddenly talked about another thing.

"Naoki-san's Our Little Sister is about to be released, and Squid Game is also about to end," said Shuichi Idou, "but it's only August and there's still a quarter left. Apart from the Tokyo International Film Festival, don't we have any other big projects?"

"Haha, Xiuyi-san, don't you want to take a rest?" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile.

"It's not that I don't want to take a break," Idou Shuichi also felt a little strange, "but when I think about the fact that it's the end of the year and Shuyou Films doesn't have any productions, I feel something is wrong, as if my whole body is itching."

"Xiu Yi-sang, you have a problem, you need treatment."

Idou Shuichi sat on the sofa and suddenly clapped his hands:

"Yes, it's a tradition among our tree friends!!! We have to send a horror movie at the end of the year!!! Not this year!"

"."

When did this tradition come about? How come I didn’t know about it?!

Idou Shuichi continued chattering:

“It started with Paranormal Activity and then went on to The Ring 1 and The Ring 2.”

“This doesn’t happen every year.” Naoki Nagayama tried to refute.

"Naoki-san!" Ito Shuu said firmly, "This is already a tradition!!! You know, we have two major movie specialties among our tree friends: romance movies and horror movies!!"

"."

Seeing his friend's firm attitude, Naoki Nagayama could only agree:
"So, Xiuyi-san, have you received any good horror scripts?"

"Absolutely not!"

Shuichi Ito shook his head. Although Shuyou Film has been purchasing scripts since it became famous, a good script is very rare!

"So." Idou Xiu looked at Naoki Nagayama with a fiery look, "Naoki-san you."

"Stop!" Naoki Nagayama immediately crossed his arms and refused. "I've been filming Midnight Diner and writing the script for Hayato: New World these days. I'm busy day and night, but I don't have the energy to write another horror movie!!!"

"Tsk, Naoki-san, you went to Fukuoka to see your girlfriend yesterday."

Idou Shuichi's face was full of disbelief.

"Akina is another matter!" Naoki Nagayama said, slapping the table.

"." Idou Shuichi sighed, "So Naoki-san, don't you have any other ideas?"

".No more~not even a bit!"

"How about we continue filming Ring 3?"

It is indeed popular to make sequels, but "The Ring 3" doesn't seem to have such good sales traffic!
"Shuuichi-san, if you really want to shoot it, why don't you try other scripts?" Naoki Nagayama said, "Maybe another big IP will emerge?"

“I don’t feel confident”

Idou Shuichi sighed, but seeing that Naoyama Naoki really had no intention of creating, he did not force it.
"Naoki-san, let's go together this afternoon!"

"Uh-huh!"

It wasn't until the office door was closed that Naoki Nagayama breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he did have some ideas. As for horror movies, if Sadako wasn't enough, didn't we still have Kayako?

If Kayako doesn't work, then Jason from Crystal Lake, the Joker from Weird Town, Annabell from the Box, etc., these well-known foreign characters can also make cameo appearances.
However, Naoki Nagayama might dream about these plots at night when he recalls them. Ever since he had a secret meeting with Miss Sadako in his dream, he no longer wants to write scripts for these horror movies!
"Let Xiuyi-san figure it out on his own. Maybe he can come up with a neon summoning spirit."

As if shocked by this memory, Naoki Nagayama quickly walked to the window, basking in the warm sunlight, and shivered all over.

In the afternoon, the Geishazu Cinema in Ikebukuro was already packed.

Even though the weather outside was so hot, there were still many media reporters, bigwigs in the industry, film-related people, and a small number of movie lovers who came to watch the preview of "Our Little Sister".

We can't blame these people in the circle for being too enthusiastic. It's because Shuyou Films is now a hot commodity in the film industry. Who in the circle doesn't want to have a good relationship with Shuyou?
Tokyo International Film Festival!

What if any company doesn’t give face and makes a note of it in the little notebook, and then makes things difficult for us at the film festival?
"Director Yitang, nice to meet you!"

"Nice to meet you~"

"Director Yongshan, I haven't seen you for a long time. What are you busy with recently?"

"I'm recording a small show." Naoki Nagayama replied politely, "Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."

"Ah, this must be Director Masataka Komori from Shuyou. He is indeed the wave behind pushing the wave ahead."

Komori Masataka replied in panic, "No, no, you flatter me!"

In short, everyone who comes to the cinema, no matter whether they know each other before or how close the relationship is, will exchange a few words with the "hosts".

And the reporters all said in a friendly tone that they would ask a few more questions later.
When Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Ido met their acquaintances, they would naturally chat a little more. As for Masataka Komori, he only felt that his network of contacts was expanding rapidly at this time. He was very sure that he had just met the directors of Shochiku, Toho, and Toei.

The entire art theater was bustling with activity.

"Masataka-kun~" After the seats were almost full, Naoki Nagayama and Idou Shuichi pulled Komori Masataka aside and said, "After the movie is over, there will be a press conference. There will probably be a lot of questions from reporters."

"Hi!" Komori Masataka was a little excited, "I will definitely answer the reporters' questions well!"

"Well, I'm not worried about that." Naoki Nagayama nodded, "Anyway, when they ask you, they won't be more outrageous than when they ask me~"

"."People who always make the headlines are so confident~
"In any case, Naoki-san and I will be there to support you." Idou Shuichi encouraged him like an elder who cared about his child, "In any case, don't worry!"

"Hi!"

In fact, this is not the first movie directed by Masataka Komori alone. "Hot Blood School 2" was actually led by Masataka Komori, but at that time Shuichi Ido and Naoki Nagayama were involved a lot, even in the press conference, so they cannot be regarded as the real pillars of the film.

But this "Our Little Sister" can be said to be entirely in the charge of Masataka Komori.
As the leading director of the second generation of Shuyou, Shuichi Idou naturally deserves more attention~
"Shuuichi-san, let's go in too!" Nagayama Naoki said, "Come to think of it, I haven't seen Masataka-kun's finished film yet!"

"Haha, let's go watch it together. I haven't seen it either!"

I haven't finished writing this chapter yet. I'll update it tomorrow~
