Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 935 Chapter 944, simple and crude. But effective!!
"I'm back~"

When Naoki Nagayama returned to Yamazakurain, he was surprised to find that the living room was filled with shopping bags, and there were even a few on the stairs.
"Am I really drunk? Am I hallucinating?"

Yingtaro nimbly moved between the shopping bags and ran to his owner, wagging his tail.

"Hina, do you know what's going on?"

Naoki Nagayama stroked the dog's hair and asked, "I went to a dinner party today and drank a lot of wine. Now my head is a little dizzy and it is not convenient for me to think."

"Woof woof woof! (It was your wife who did it!)"

"Ah, it was made by Akina~" Nagayama Naoki nodded, as if he understood what the dog said, which surprised the dog so much that its tail froze for a moment. It raised its head and looked at its owner with round eyes.
"Woof! Woof woof woof! (Ah Bai, he understands dog language!)"

"Then here comes the question." Naoki Nagayama looked around and saw Nyanko Taro's tail flashing between the shopping bags, but he didn't see the person who caused all this. "Where did the person who caused all this go?"

At this time, there were rapid footsteps coming from the stairs, and then a figure in a dress came down.
"Ah, Naoki-san, you're back!"

Akina Nakamori walked down the stairs and looked at the living room, a little embarrassed.

"I bought a few clothes and I'll pack them right away~"

"."

Is this just a little bit? Did Akina buy the store? Naoki Nagayama was about to complain, but he stared at Akina:

"Akina, your hairstyle has changed too, are you trying a new style?!"

"Oh, no~"

Ming Cai, wearing a pink floral dress and a light tulle shawl, lifted her shoulder-length hair a little. She looked a little psychedelic under the warm light in the room. Coupled with her beautiful appearance, she looked very charming.

"Naoki-san, how's it going?!"

"."

Naoki Nagayama, who was a little dizzy, couldn't say anything beautiful for a moment, so he could only say bluntly:

“I think it looks great.”

"Haha~" Akina happily walked to Naoki Nagayama, turned around slightly, making the hem of her skirt flutter, and said with a slightly proud tone, "I look good in any style!"

"." I'm a little too proud of myself~
Naoki Nagayama felt that he couldn't tolerate this trend, so he put his arm around his girlfriend's shoulders, adjusted his posture slightly, and then kissed her.
Akina naturally didn't resist. She closed her eyes and gently hugged her boyfriend's neck, leaning on Naoki Nagayama's arms.
After a long time, the two separated with rapid breathing, their eyes blurred and their faces flushed. They should have gone to the next step naturally, but Akina saw the shopping bag at her feet, suddenly came to her senses, and pressed against her boyfriend's chest:

"Naoki-san, not now!"

"?" Nagayama Naoki looked at Akina in surprise.

"We can't just leave these clothes like this," Nakamori Akina glanced at the full shopping bags and decisively threw the blame, "Otherwise, Yingtaro and Neontaro will bite them!"

Hearing his own name, Hitaro, who was walking around the two of them, was stunned, with an innocent expression on his face:
"Woof woof woof! (It's been a long time since I last destroyed the house or bit anything!)"

"Okay~" Naoki Nagayama nodded, agreeing with the reason, "But can the cloakroom still hold so many clothes?"

"Stupid tape!" Nakamori Akina let go of Naoki Nagayama and began to bend over to pick up the shopping bags. "I have already emptied out the closet. I put all the clothes that I don't wear and are too big in the storage room!"

After the expansion of Yamazakurayuan, there is indeed a lot more space. The second bedroom next to the master bedroom was moved to the second floor on the other side, and the empty room became a storage room for bags, leather shoes, jewelry, etc.
"All right."

Naoki Nagayama naturally couldn't bear to see his girlfriend busying herself alone, so he helped to move the shopping bags, and then watched Akina put them together one by one and put them in the cloakroom.

"I wore this on the red carpet at the film festival!" Akina Nakamori hung a high-end dress on the outside, "I bought it specially for this."

"That's it~"

Naoki Nagayama didn't think about the red carpet attire, which is usually just a suit for men, and Akina's clothes are usually arranged by herself or Kenon.

"But big brands should have high-end custom services. Can I order a dress directly?"

"Do you have any?" Akina Nakamori has no experience. As an idol, she makes all her own stage costumes.
"There should be."

When Naoki Nagayama was the spokesperson for Burberry, all his clothes were custom-made and he had several sets every season, so now he doesn't need to buy new clothes at all.

"." Mingcai's eyebrows were frowned, and they were about to form the word "囧" again.
I feel like I was a little impulsive in my shopping and spent a quarter of my salary.
Naoki Nagayama quickly changed the subject: "But that's fine, it just so happens that I've changed my style, and these clothes can be worn on a daily basis."

"Hmm~"

Akina Nakamori reluctantly accepted this reason and continued to organize her clothes, while chatting with Naoki Nagayama.

"Naoki-san, did you drink alcohol today?"

"Yeah, I was dragged to a dinner party and was forced to lose some of my moral integrity."

Naoki Nagayama sighed. Today at the dinner table, everyone on the committee came to toast him. For the smooth running of the film festival, Naoki Nagayama had to admit with a pinch of his nose that they had added the new awards.

Even the winners have been decided in advance. These guys have already divided it up!

"What did Naoki-san lose?!" Akina Nakamori said in horror.

"Integrity! It's integrity, not chastity!"

"That's better." Nakamori Akina patted her chest, "I told you, if even Naoki-san has to work on his own, then the entertainment industry is really too dark!"

"."

The entertainment industry is dark. If your boyfriend wasn't rich and powerful, you might also be asked to accompany drinking.
Just as Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori were chatting about the darkness in the entertainment industry, a scene like this was happening inside the filming base in Ota Ward!
Kijima Kyon looked bitter: "Shuichi-san, I really can't do it! I can't do it!"

"Kijima-kun, please consider this carefully!" Idou Shuichi said with a false smile, "You know what will happen if you don't meet my demands, right?"

"."

Five minutes ago~
The filming of "101 Marriage Proposals" had just stopped for the day. After a hard day's work, Kyon Kimura was about to go back to the dormitory to have a good rest when he was called into the office by Shuichi Idou. There were only the two of them!

Full of doubts, Kyon Kijima heard the outrageous request made by Idou Shuichi.
"Kijima-kun, you also know that the script of "The Man with Zero Presence" has been completed." Idou Shuichi had a friendly smile on his face, "The casting is in progress now."

"Hey, I know!" Kimura nodded and asked in confusion, "Did Xiuyi-san encounter any problems during the casting?"

"Yeah. The male lead has never been able to find a suitable role."

Idou Shuichi shook his head in distress.
"Famous male actors mostly have a strong presence. They are either very handsome or ugly in a distinctive way. In short, they are easy to remember." If someone is not memorable, he or she will not be famous. This is an objective law, and Shuichi Idou can't do anything about it.

"But, I have to find someone with a low sense of presence. If such an ordinary guy is the protagonist of the movie, the audience may not remember him and the movie will definitely not be a hit!"

"If that's the case, then it's true!"

As a director who has a low presence himself, Kyon Kimura feels deeply about this.

"so."

Idou Shuichi looked Kijima Kyon up and down. To be honest, Kijima Kyon was actually quite good-looking, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, which was in line with the aesthetics of the Showa male of that era. When you see him, you will admit that he is a good man.
However, his presence was extremely low, as if he was cursed. If it weren't for the golden Rolex on his wrist, Shuichi Idou might not even remember him.

"It's hard to find someone like Kijima-kun!"

“Yes, that’s true.”

Mudao Xu nodded. He had never been able to find his kind. Maybe he had found them, but he didn't remember them.
However, Idou Shuichi's constant gaze made Kimura Kyon alert:

"Why did you suddenly say something like that, Xiuyi-san?"

"Haha, I'll be frank!" Idou Shuichi said with a smile, "Kijima-kun, come and play the leading role in my movie!!! This is a role tailor-made for you!"

"Eh?!! Me???" Kimura exclaimed.

"Yes!"

“But I have no acting experience!”

“You can learn it!”

"But I'm filming 101 Marriage Proposals!"

“You can make time!”

"But I..." Kyon was a little speechless for a moment, "Shuuichi-san, if I were the protagonist, the movie might really have zero presence!"

“You can use a specific editing method!”

Itou Shuichi had obviously thought about it.

"It's like what Naoki-san said before, first shoot you without the Rolex, then shoot you with the Rolex, and then edit the latter shots in every dozen frames! This way, the audience will have an impression in their minds without feeling abrupt."

Kimura Kyon seemed to think this idea made sense, but he still didn't want to make this movie. He had suffered too much from a low sense of existence since he was a child. His face was full of bitterness:

"Xiuichi-san, I really can't do this! I can't do this!"

So there was the scene where Idou Shuichi threatened. Idou Shuichi continued:

"Kijima-kun, you know that I am the person in charge of Shuyou Eiga. Do you still want to direct the next movie?!"

".Think~~~" Kimura Kyon said unwillingly in a low voice.

"So, it's happily decided! You are the protagonist!!" Idou Shuichi's face brightened up, "Kijima-kun, cooperate well! I will give you great benefits in the future!"

"." Xiuyi-san, why are you speaking so evilly?
As it got darker, a car drove out of the filming base.

Shuichi Idou is here to choose a film set today. His film will start shooting after the film festival, and there are only two days left before the opening of the film festival, so he needs to prepare quickly.
Finally the male lead has been chosen. By the way, there’s also Naoki-san’s guest appearance, so I still need to remind him about it!

As September comes to an end, the weather in Tokyo is getting cooler.

You can already see the maple leaves in many parks starting to change color, and the autumn leaf hunting that Japanese people love so much will soon begin!

Of course, before that, the chrysanthemums in Tokyo were the most beautiful scenery. There were chrysanthemum exhibitions and competitions everywhere in Curse of the Golden Flower.
Yoyogi Park is an important place for chrysanthemum exhibitions. However, this year, in addition to chrysanthemums, many tourists who came to Yoyogi Park were more curious about another thing!

The surrounding roads are full of Tokyo International Film Festival banners, signboards, and various movie posters.
Outside the main stadium, there are huge posters and banners, and even the red carpet has been laid out.
The park has already built an open-air cinema, and they said they would start showing movies at night during the film festival, so everyone can come and watch~
Tokyo residents couldn't resist their curiosity and came early to check out the event. They also spotted many foreign faces. When they asked in heavily accented English, they found out that they were all movie lovers who came from all over the world just for this film festival.

Even the ladies in Kabukicho said that they have received many more foreign guests.
Tokyo's famous clubs and nightclubs. It is said that at night, you can occasionally see foreigners who are very familiar from TV coming here to play. Although I can't remember their names at the moment, they should all be famous movie stars!

Unlike Japanese stars, their clubbing, discos and nightclubs are all open to the public, and it doesn't matter if they are photographed in a dissolute manner.
As the opening date draws closer, Tokyo's entertainment industry is also starting to heat up. The media and newspapers are all talking about the progress of the Tokyo International Film Festival, and they will also release interviews with some stars and photos of the venue.
Some newspapers even listed the candidates for film awards and asked readers to vote for which film would win each award.
I heard that some bookmakers have already opened betting on the winners of this award, with different movies having different odds. If you feel that you have great confidence in the winner of a certain award, you can try to bet on it.
On the last day of September, a mobilization speech was held in the Shuyou building:
"Mina-san, the next half month will be the most important day of the year for Tree Friends!"

“Other tasks can be put aside appropriately, and I hope everyone can focus all their energy on the execution of the Tokyo International Film Festival.”

"."

"Mina-san, please!"

After saying a lot, Fangcun Dayou finally bowed to all the employees to express his sincere gratitude.

Then Naoki Nagayama took the stage to give a mobilization speech and he didn't say much:
"Mina-san, what Otomo-san said just now was very good. I don't have anything more to add!"

“I’ll just say one thing.”

"After this year's successful Tokyo International Film Festival, everyone's year-end bonus will be doubled!!!"

“Ooooooooooooo!!” “Naoki-san, get on board!!” “Really? You can’t lie to me!” “Ah~~·” “Naoki-san is indeed the most handsome!” “I like Naoki-san the most!” “.”

For a moment, the cheers of all the employees broke through the thick walls of the Shuyou Building and reached the road outside~
So, what's the point of all these mobilization meetings, encouragement speeches, and bows? !
Where else can you get more excited than doubling your bonus?!
Simple and rude!
efficient!
