Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 926 Chapter 935, That’s absolutely right, I just took advantage of the opportunity!!
By mid-to-late September, the temperature in Tokyo becomes more pleasant. The days when summer and autumn meet are the most comfortable.
The morning air is slightly cool, allowing people to start the day refreshingly. As the sun rises, the sunlight is neither too hot nor too cold, and at night, the evening breeze blows softly on the face, like a lover's hand, soothing the tired mood after a day of fatigue.

Tokyo's surface began to become colorful. Colorful hibiscus flowers bloomed on the fences, morning glories opened their purple trumpets, red begonias clustered together, and rosemary exuded a fresh fragrance. Even in the thick green of the grass, there were gorgeous red spider lilies.
However, the most abundant flower in Tokyo in autumn is chrysanthemum. There are various kinds of chrysanthemums, big and small, in clusters, golden and pink. By October, Tokyo will be decorated like spring with flowers in full bloom!
"The flowers in Lake Toya are about to bloom again, right?" Naoki Nagayama said as he drove. He could see the maple leaves changing color from the window. "The maple leaves in the Red Fish Temple are about to turn red, too."

"You have to find time to go on vacation! Otherwise, these two gardens would be bought in vain."

However, there are really a lot of things happening at the end of September and the beginning of October. The most important thing is that the Tokyo International Film Festival is about to be held!

"Naoki-san~"

Yoshimura Otomo rarely stepped out of the office and brought Nagayama Naoki to Shibuya, where there are more than a dozen movie theaters and the main NHK Hall, which is also the official support of Tokyo.
"The city government is very supportive of the Tokyo International Film Festival! They coordinated with the Traffic Management Bureau to control traffic near the venue during the week of the Tokyo International Film Festival. There will be direct access to each theater and other shops."

"That's great~"

World-famous exhibition centers such as Tokyo International Exhibition Center and Tokyo Ariake Exhibition Center have not been built, and there is no cultural village, so this Tokyo International Film Festival will be held around the NHK Hall and other venues in Yoyogi.
Before entering the main venue, Naoki Nagayama saw that promotional materials for the Tokyo International Film Festival were hung on the street lamps around Yoyogi Park. Even the billboards at the bus stops near the venue had promotional posters for the Tokyo International Film Festival.

Yoshimura Otomo noticed Naoki Nagayama's gaze and immediately added:
"In terms of publicity, we have placed advertisements on almost all the main roads in Shibuya, Tokyo. The closer you are to the venue, the more promotional materials you will have. When the event officially starts, there will be advertisements in airports, train stations, and subway stations."

"Hmm~"

Naoki Nagayama nodded. For the promotion of this kind of film festival, there is basically a fixed template, but the scale of this Tokyo International Film Festival is just a little bigger.

The two walked to the main venue, where the decoration was basically complete. A large poster of "Tokyo International Film Festival" was on the outer wall of the main entrance of NHK Hall.
"We will roll out the red carpet before the official opening." Fangcun Dayou pointed to the large open space in front of the door and said, "Then this will be where the red carpet will be rolled out!"

“Will it be called Shibuya Red Carpet from now on?”

Naoki Nagayama also recalled the red carpet in Cannes, the countless media and cameras, and the stars vying for beauty. The red carpet that day was synonymous with Vanity Fair.

Walking into the NHK Hall, Naoki Nagayama saw the main venue decoration carefully designed by the Tokyo International Film Festival Preparatory Committee.
"NHK Hall is the venue for large-scale events such as the Red and White Song Festival and the Song Festival." Yoshimura Otomo brought Nagayama Naoki to the main venue. "Most of the facilities are very complete. It is very convenient for award ceremonies and media interviews~"

"Also, there are open-air parties in the Yoyogi Park next door, and there's also the open-air cinema at night that Naoki-san mentioned before."

"."

Yoshimura Otomo talked incessantly about the venue arrangements for the Tokyo International Film Festival, feeling filled with a sense of accomplishment.

Such a large international event was able to be prepared in such a short time. On the one hand, Tokyo has experience in hosting large-scale international events and has countless event support companies. On the other hand, there was also the active cooperation of all parties in the preparatory committee.

Established film companies such as Toho and Toei have contributed their theaters and channels, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and other official authorities have provided venues and procedural conveniences, and other parties in the entertainment industry are all contributing their efforts to the Tokyo International Film Festival.

Everyone wants to make this cake bigger~
In fact, Naoki Nagayama can only be regarded as a nominal initiator, helping to contact various parties, inviting big names in the international film industry, etc. The ones who are really busy are Otomo-san, Shuichi-san, and other employees of the preparatory committee.

"Otomo-san has already perfected it!" Nagayama Naoki looked at the basically completed venue and gave Yoshimura Otomo 100% recognition, "Great job! You are worthy of being Otomo-san!"

"Haha, it's actually nothing~" Yoshimura Otomo was very proud!
“It all depends on everyone’s joint efforts!”

"No, no, without Otomo-san's coordination, it wouldn't have been possible to get it this fast and well!"

"Haha, Naoki-san, you're flattering me~"

"."

In order to protect the strongest tool man, Naoki Nagayama said one kind word after another, making Yoshimura Otomo's face full of smiles and red glow. Even the reflection of the Mediterranean Sea above his head was much brighter than usual in the slightly dim room, like a light bulb~
After inspecting Yoyogi for more than an hour, Naoki Nagayama and Otomo Yoshimura returned to the Shuyou Building in Ikebukuro.

Yoshimura Otomo continued to work, while Nagayama Naoki came to Idou Shuichi's office:

"Shui Yi-san?"

Shuichi Idou was holding a thick script and reading it very seriously. It was the second revised script for the film "The Man with Zero Existence" that he was going to shoot later.

"Didn't Naoki-san go to see the venue?"

"Yes, I'm back." Naoki Nagayama sat on the sofa. "The venue has been basically built. There will be a rehearsal at the end of the month, but it shouldn't be a problem."

Idou Shuichi put down the script, stood up, sat next to Naoki Nagayama and poured a cup of tea:

“The entertainment industry is very experienced in providing offline support for film festivals!”

"Yeah~" Naoki Nagayama nodded and continued, "By the way, Shuichi-san, how is the progress on the jury side?"

Imamura Shohei had already moved into a resort hotel in Tokyo Bay with the jury and had been watching movies for almost a month. The person in charge of connecting with the jury was Shuichi Idou.

"When I contacted him last week, Mr. Imamura told me that the finalists have been selected," said Shuichi Idou. "I have submitted the list to the organizing committee and they are now evaluating the final awards."

"That means the judges are going to fight~" Naoki Nagayama said with a smile.

The judges on the jury come from many countries and various film-related fields. They are all big names in the industry and have the final say in their respective fields. Naturally, they all have their own preferences and their own judging criteria.

The final evaluation will depend on whether a judge can convince more people to let his or her favorite movie win the award.

"Hahaha, a fight." Ito Shuuichi laughed, "Naoki-san, those are respectable people, how could they engage in a fight!"

"Bah, what decent people, they are all pretending~" Naoki Nagayama said disdainfully, "Ordinary people will naturally fight when they can't win an argument!"

Not to mention the film industry, even in the political world, which always prides itself on being superior and respectable, there are many cases of physical fights among members of parliament!
"The judges won't reach that level," Idou Shuichi still didn't believe it.

Naoki Nagayama shook his head:

"Next time, record the selection process and edit it into a reality show. I'm sure many people will want to watch it!"

"."Good idea
After chatting about the Tokyo Film Festival activities in the office for a while, the two returned to filming.

"Shuuichi-san, is your script not ready yet? I have already found the actors." Naoyama Naoki said with a smile, "I will start filming when the time comes!"

"It must be Kijima-kun first." Idou Shuu stood up and handed a plan to Nagayama Naoki, "Even the plan for the production of the unveiling meeting has been brought up."

"Oh?" Naoki Nagayama looked at the production plan of "101 Marriage Proposals".
“It’s actually held before the film festival?”

"Kijima-kun is a little impatient~" Idou Shuichi sighed.

Naoki Nagayama rolled his eyes. Isn't this because you, Xiuyi-san, wanted to steal his project before?
So "101 Marriage Proposals" should be filmed first, followed by Naoki Nagayama's "Hayato: New World", and finally Shuichi Ido's project.

At the end of 60, these three were the main filming plans of Shuyou Eiga.

Inside the TBS TV station's clubhouse building, there are dozens of studios that can record simultaneously, recording different programs in different categories.

Except for a few long-running programs, the others will probably take turns using the same venue, but there are exceptions. For example, some variety shows of similar types often use the same studio.

After the main stage was set up, the guests came out to be interviewed, followed by singing performances, which is a very common announcement for idols and singers in this era.

Akina Nakamori participated in the filming of the variety show today
Actually, Akina Nakamori has rarely accepted any announcements other than music shows since the new contract. This time, she is promoting the record awards at the end of the year to increase her exposure and popularity, although her popularity is already very high.
This time, the idol guests were asked questions by elementary school students. What questions could cute little kids ask? Akina wasn't worried at first.
Until a kid asked another idol next to him, Naoko Kawai:

"I have been a fan of Kawai Naoko-chan since fifth grade. I want to know what Naoko-chan's real bust size is!"

The question raised laughter from the audience, especially the children, who were so excited that they didn't look like they were in their early teens. The two hosts wanted to rush over and cover his mouth.
This was obviously a sudden question. The program team probably just asked the children to prepare the questions they wanted to ask their idols, but they didn't expect such a big bomb to come out!
Naoko Kawai's promotion once used her plump bust as a selling point. Akina Nakamori looked at Naoko Kawai's tangled look holding the microphone and felt the same way.
If she were asked this question, she would also have to think about how to answer it!
However, the director did not stop the show. Perhaps in his opinion, such a question was not excessive and could even increase the ratings! There were many more outrageous scenes in variety shows during the Showa era!

"I've lost a lot of weight recently." Kawai Naoko paused and responded with a smile. The artist's face is still very standard. "Maybe I have a D cup left~"

"Roar, roar, roar~~" The guests and the audience all started to make noises, as if their excitement points had been touched.

Akina Nakamori kept her artist face, but she was complaining in her heart. It turns out that Japanese variety shows are not friendly to female artists.
And then I prayed that I wouldn't meet this kind of kid.
"I want to ask Nakamori Akina-chan!" This time it was a girl who stood up to ask the question. Nakamori Akina breathed a sigh of relief, "How can I find a boyfriend as handsome as Naoki Nagayama?!"

Akina Nakamori opened her eyes wide and looked at the little girl who asked the question. She hasn’t even gone to junior high school!

"Are you thinking about a boyfriend so early?!" He blurted out in surprise.

"Yeah. Good men are rare!" The girl on the other side replied very maturely, "Of course you have to be prepared in advance."

"Are children nowadays so precocious?!" the host couldn't help but sigh.

"Maybe it's because the food is good~" the partner echoed, causing some funny laughter at the scene.

However, Akina Nakamori seriously considered the answer:

"If you want to know how to find a handsome boyfriend."

Memories unfolded one after another: encounters, cherry blossom viewing, encounters, support, and encounters abroad. It seems that I didn't take the initiative to try to catch Naoki-san. Ugh! It must be my extraordinary charm!

Akina Nakamori's mind was full of lightning, and she finally thought of a possible scene. She once took the initiative to go to Yamazakurayuan to cook for Naoki Nagayama:
"That is to learn how to cook first! Then when he is sick or weak, make him a loving lunch!!"

The little girl and other guests were surprised to hear Akina Nakamori's answer.

The host spoke directly:
"Did Akina-chan cook for Naoki Nagayama when he was sick? Is this what they call taking advantage of someone's situation?!"

Akina Nakamori had a smug look on her face and nodded with a smile: "That's absolutely right!!! I just took advantage of the situation!!!"

The discussion in the studio suddenly became louder, and everyone looked at Akina Nakamori with surprise. It seemed like this was real!!!
The female guests beside him were all complaining in their hearts, how could Naoki Nagayama not have such little self-control! He was actually defeated by a meal? ! If we had known earlier, we could have helped you cook!!!

Such a handsome guy, who is also a talented and wealthy man. Akina Nakamori is really lucky!

Especially Kawai Naoko's face was full of pity, she used to be a neighbor of Naoki Nagayama!!!
"."

The little girl who asked the question on the other side was still a little bit unconvinced, but when she saw Akina Nakamori's confident look, she secretly made up her mind. It seems that what her mother said was right, to capture a man, you must first capture his stomach!!!

After the guests were asked questions one by one, Akina Nakamori sang the song "Meu amoré (My Love)" which is the most promising song to win the award. The new song has not been produced yet~
With the exotic songs, this variety show achieved a perfect result.

Later in the lounge, Akina Nakamori took out a stack of documents and was flipping through them. Naoko Kawai came over with some curiosity:

"What is Akina-chan looking at?"

"I'm looking for a house." Akina Nakamori did not hide it. "I want to buy a house recently."

"Oh? Akina-chan is also going to buy a house?!" Kawai Naoko came over to take a look, "Doesn't the office rent an apartment?"

"I'm not in the office apartment right now." Akina Nakamori shook her head. "I live with Naoki-san."

"Oh, by the way, you are already an engaged couple!" Kawai Naoko finally realized that it is normal for engaged couples to live together. "Then why do you want to buy a house?"

"Because real estate has appreciated rapidly in the past two years, I am thinking of investing."

"."

Naoko Kawai also debuted prematurely. At such a young age, she had no idea about investment. She was just like other idols in the entertainment industry. She spent all the money she made.
Young people who make a lot of money generally have no self-control, just like those NBA stars. Spending lavishly has become a habit for them, and without good investment plans, many of them go bankrupt after retirement.

"Is real estate profitable?" Kawai Naoko was a little curious, "Can I buy one too?"

"Naoki-san said it's very profitable! Better than working in a bank!"

Akina Nakamori nodded and generously gave some of the information sent by Keiko Fujita to Nahoko Kawai.
"Naihoko-chan, you can take a look at the information and buy it if you think it's good. Don't hesitate, I have a lot more here."

"Arigado~"

Naoko Kawai took it, opened it and saw that it was indeed information about a row of properties. The information on size, location, surrounding conditions, etc. was very complete until she saw the estimated price at the bottom!

"One hundred and twenty million?!"

I looked through the others and found that the budget of all of them was around 100 million!

"Akina-chan, are you going to buy such an expensive house?!"

Akina Nakamori nodded: "It's useless to keep money in the bank anyway."

"No. What I mean is, you actually saved so much money?!" Kawai Naoko looked at Akina in disbelief.

"A lot?"

Akina Nakamori doesn't have a good concept of large sums of money. She grew up poor, so she cares a lot about a few tens or hundreds of yen. But tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars are just a general concept of a large sum of money to her.
After all, after making money from debut, it seems like they haven’t spent much money.
Naoko Kawai was so envious that she almost cried. She debuted two years earlier than Akina Nakamori! In terms of fame, she is also a second-tier idol! The record sales are also not small
But now, there are only tens of millions of deposits at most, and the commission taken by the firm is no joke!
Is Akina Nakamori's agency so conscientious? !
"I'd better not watch it Akina-chan!"

Naoko Kawai returned the information to Akina Nakamori and turned away. If she had stayed any longer, she might have cried out of jealousy!
"what?"

Akina Nakamori looked confused.
Didn’t we just say we were going to buy a house together?!

She really didn't expect that she could buy a 100 million mansion, which would be a huge blow to other idols.
