Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 941 Chapter 950, This should be considered pre-marital property, right? !

The office building purchased by Akina Nakamori has finally been signed and transferred~
The three-story street-facing building is located in Nakano District, with a total usable area of ​​approximately 80 pings. The first floor of more than 200 square meters can be used as a storefront, and the second and third floors can be used as restaurants or cafes, and can also be used for living.

The street where it is located is also a relatively prosperous area. There are also supporting facilities such as Nakano subway station, department stores, and public cultural centers around it. There are still many young people coming and going.
The total price is 1 million yen!

After getting the property certificate, Akina Nakamori happily brought Naoki Nagayama to the small building. After all, it was her first time to buy a property, and she was very excited, running around in the empty house to look around.
"The last time I came here, there were still some of the previous landlord's stuff, but now they're all gone!" Nakamori Akina looked around the tidy second floor with satisfaction, "This much space should be enough!"

Although Naoki Nagayama has bought many houses, he still has some special feelings when it comes to buying a house. Besides, this is the house purchased by his fiancée, so isn't it the same as buying it himself?
Wait, this should be considered pre-marital property, right?!

It seems that the property before marriage is clearly divided in Japan, and it cannot be divided even after divorce.
For some reason, this thought suddenly popped up in his head. Naoki Nagayama quickly shook his head, which caught the attention of Akina Nakamori.
"What's wrong Naoki-san?"

"Nothing." Naoki Nagayama said perfunctorily, changing the subject, "This is going to be a flower shop for Minghui-chan, right? It should also be renovated~"

"Open a flower shop, a restaurant, a coffee shop. It's up to them!" Akina Nakamori said casually, "Anyway, I have waived the rent and given them great support. The decoration and other things are all up to them! Whether they make money or losses is up to them."

Under the influence of Naoki Nagayama, Akina Nakamori now has a mature attitude towards her family. She is naturally very close to them, after all, they are related by blood. She will also give subsidies to her parents, but she will not meet the demands of her family without any bottom line.
I have already agreed to Naoki-san's proposal and will soon be a member of the Nagayama family, so naturally I have to think more about my own family!
"Haha, Akina is becoming more and more like a mature adult now!"

"I've grown up!"

Akina Nakamori smiled and hugged her boyfriend's arm, and the two walked out the door~
Today is a rare daytime free time, so Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori decided to stroll around the commercial street in Nakano. After all, this is not a very famous commercial street, and no paparazzi would be lurking here.

Akina was wearing a hat and sunglasses, covering most of her face, and Naoki Nagayama also disguised himself appropriately, so others would not recognize him at first glance.

Nakano District is a relatively densely populated area in Tokyo. Even during the daytime on weekdays, there are many people shopping on the streets, and the Broadway Commercial Pedestrian Street here is very busy and bustling.
Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori walked and looked around. Soon, he was holding fresh Taiyaki and octopus balls in his hands, while Akina was holding an ice cream and eating it happily with a spoon.
"This is the last ice cream of summer!"

Akina smiled and said to her boyfriend,
"With every bite, I feel like the summer heat is getting away a little bit, so the taste becomes more mellow."

"."

Naoki Nagayama was speechless. Of course eating ice will make you cold. This has nothing to do with the departure of summer!
"Shall I arrange for you to have the first cup of milk tea in autumn? Let you feel the warmth of autumn."

"Milk tea? Where can I get milk tea?!"

Akina Nakamori only heard this keyword and looked around quickly, but there were only coffee shops and small restaurants near Nakano Plaza, and no place selling milk tea.

Although it came out of his mouth, Naoki Nagayama suddenly felt that this commercial street seemed to be missing something. In the future, there will definitely be milk tea shops like Nai Xue, Xu Xue, and Mixue in such commercial streets, and girls shopping on the street will also hold a cup of milk tea with a straw in their hands and drink it while walking.
(Why do many milk tea shops have the word "snow" in their names?)

Thinking of the milk tea chain stores that will be everywhere in the future, Naoki Nagayama was a little tempted to open a milk tea chain store himself? !
Anyway, making milk tea is very simple. Just mix milk and tea, add some ingredients like pearls, bobo, taro balls, etc., and a cup of milk tea that costs only five yuan can be sold for twenty or thirty yuan!
It's the biggest profit among the huge profits!!!
"Naoki-san?" Akina Nakamori patted Naoki Nagayama's arm. "Where is the milk tea you mentioned?"

"It's not open yet!" Naoki Nagayama came back to his senses, shook his head and said with a smile, "I'll open a store in the future to supply milk tea to Akina!"

".Naoki-san, do you think I'm easy to fool? Are you teasing me again?"

Akina Nakamori's cheeks bulged slightly. She was already an adult, in her twenties, but it felt like Naoki-san was still treating her like a child.
"."

The two of them were strolling around the commercial street with great interest. Nakano's Broadway shopping street is a very good shopping area in Tokyo. There are all kinds of shops here. Watches, cameras, musical instruments, and various anime and film and television peripherals can all be found here.

Naoki Nagayama saw the blue angel wind chimes from "Kikujiro's Summer" and the crystal apple from "Love Century" in a peripheral store!
Akina also found her own peripherals, such as posters, yearbooks, etc., mixed with other idols'.
"There are also photos of Baihui-san!" Nakamori Akina said in surprise, "There are very few of them nowadays!"

"Hehe, this is new~" Naoki Nagayama shook his head, "After Baihui-san retired, the agency and the record company still hold the copyright of the old photos. In the future, there will be collector's editions, century collector's editions and other peripheral products!"

"Huh? How can this be possible?" Akina Nakamori was a little angry.

"Make money, Baihui-san's commercial value is very high!"

Naoki Nagayama asked, why is it that even though she has completely retired, there are still hot news about Yamaguchi Momoe from time to time decades later? Isn't it because the agency and related stakeholders are silently working behind the scenes?

The photos are released bit by bit, there is no public interview footage, and a slight modification will create a brand new version
It's all money!

"So if Akina wants to leave in the future, she must be careful about the contract and keep her things in her own hands!"

Although Akina Nakamori is now a shareholder and most likely will not leave Ken-On, it is better to be prepared.

In the end, the two of them bought some Yamaguchi Momoe peripherals. After all, they are now friends with Yamaguchi Momoe.

By the evening, the two people returned to Yamazakurain with a bunch of things, but they were unable to rest.

Akina was picked up directly by Akiko Fusa, who had been waiting for her for a long time, because she had to rush to attend the announcement of "Music Station". As for Nagayama Naoki, he didn't get to play with Inatarou for too long as he also received a call.

"Naoki-san, please come and attend the award ceremony tonight!" Yoshimura Otomo pleaded, "Otherwise the committee members will think that we, Naoki-san, don't respect them."

"It's fine if there's an International Film Critics Award, but there's even an International Film Critics-Special Award."

Naoki Nagayama complained a lot, saying that there was something fishy going on with these two awards, and what was the point of giving the same award twice?
".Can't these guys on the committee come up with a good name?! Even if it's called the International Controversial Filmmaker Award!"

"Naoki-san, if only you had said so earlier!"

Yoshimura Otomo was also sighing, but by the time he found out, the awards had already been decided!
"I said I wouldn't go before, but I really couldn't bring myself to do it." Naoyama Naoki continued, "These guys don't even care about their dignity for the sake of honor!"

"Hey, next time, I will definitely urge the committee to make corrections!" Yoshimura Otomo promised, "But this is an award outside of the main competition after all, and everyone knows it's an honorary award, so we won't pursue it too much!"

"Naoki-san, please give me some face and come over!"

"."

Naoki Nagayama was silent for a while, and looked around the Yamazakura Courtyard, where he was alone with a cat and a dog, and it looked quite deserted.
"Okay, I'll be there tonight! But I won't be the award presenter!"

“Hey, hey, just show your face in the group photo!” Yoshimura Otomo agreed quickly!

Yoyogi Park at night is still brightly lit.

In addition to the existing street lights, the strip lights tied to the tree branches, the big screen in the open-air cinema, and the high-power lighting on the podium make the park, which should have been quiet, as bright as day.

There are quite a few people here tonight. In addition to the locals who came to watch the movie, there are also many foreigners who are looking around here.
The others were media reporters who came for the award ceremony, as well as people who were part of the committee, which made this originally small award ceremony seem very popular.

Yoshimura Otomo and Idou Shuichi were also there, and when they saw Naoyama Naoki, they hurried over to greet him:

"Naoki-san, we're finally here!"

"What's wrong? Am I late?" Nagayama Naoki, who had changed into formal attire, was a little confused. "I came here after dinner!"

Idou Shuichi said, “No, I was actually afraid that you wouldn’t come!”

"." Naoki Nagayama rolled his eyes, "I already agreed, at least give me some trust!"

"Hahaha, because Naoki-san was a little resistant to this award ceremony before~" Yoshimura Otomo tried to smooth things over, and pulled Naoki Nagayama to the members of the award ceremony group and introduced him, "Naoki-san, this is director Yamada Yoji of Shochiku."

"Nice to meet you." X2
After greeting the old director, Naoki Nagayama quietly asked Idou Shuichi: "What award did he win?"

"Special Achievement Award!" Idou Shuichi also replied in a low voice.

The awards to be presented today are all awards outside the main competition unit, including the Youth Film Sakura Gold Award and Silver Award; the Special Achievement Award; Film Art Contribution Award; the International Film Critics Award and Special Award; the Tokyo Governor's Award, etc. All of these are awards decided and divided privately by the various parties on the committee.

However, after listening to Shuichi Ido's statement, Naoki Nagayama had no objection to Yoji Yamada winning the award.

This old director is the head of the Ofuna Studio, the filming base of Shochiku. He created the longest series of films in the history of Japanese films, "Tora-san's Story"! Now it has been filmed to the 36th one!

Simply terrible!
It also makes the daily comedy movies in the Japanese film industry deeply rooted in people's hearts~
For a guy like this, it can be said that he deserves a special contribution award!
But forget about the other awards, just consider it as a face to Toho, Toei and other committee members!

As the time approached, Shuichi Idou walked to the podium. Today, as the representative of the tree friends, he would be responsible for announcing the winners of various awards.

Many media reporters began to line up in front of the podium, setting up their cameras and preparing to record the moment of the award ceremony. These are the contacts of the old film companies, and they will ensure that the award is known to the public.
"Naoki-san, you mentioned before that Fuji TV will issue additional shares?" Yoshimura Otomo looked at the group of media reporters with envy in his heart. He remembered what Naoki Nagayama said yesterday, "Can our friends get priority to purchase and become shareholders?"

"Yeah~"

Naoki Nagayama noticed the look in Yoshimura Otomo's eyes and said jokingly,
"Otomo-san is interested in the media industry?"

"Yes." Yoshimura Otomo sighed, "Although we have good relations with many media, that is just friendship. When we encounter serious situations, they still won't listen, nor will they do their best to help Shuyou."

"Haha, we're just friends over wine and meat."

"We also need to have our own voice in the media industry," Yoshimura Otomo continued, "but the original media industry group was very closed, and there was no way to intervene. But now, it seems that we can break through from Fuji TV?!"

"I just want to become a shareholder of Fuji TV. Does Otomo-san already want to support a media company?!" Naoki Nagayama laughed, "Otomo-san is indeed an ambitious person! Haha~"

"This is not ambition, it's just the instinct of big companies." Yoshimura Otomo said.
When a company grows big, it will inevitably extend its tentacles to upstream and downstream related industries. On the one hand, it is to make more profits, and on the other hand, it is to build its own moat to prevent competitors from competing.
Just like an agency, if it has its own publicity window, the efforts it can give to promote its own artists will definitely exceed those of other agencies!
"Then let's start preparing. Some of the funds from the United States should be back by the beginning of next year," Naoki Nagayama said, "And the tree friends themselves must also prepare. Buy shares of Fuji TV next year!"

The shares purchased were not purchased directly by Shuyou. The funds in the US foreign exchange market were privately owned by Naoki Nagayama. Shuyou also had operating funds. It was necessary to first establish a holding company, and then purchase through this company. This company could also acquire media and newspapers.
At this moment, Idou Shuichi spoke on the podium:
"The winner of the Special Contribution Award at the first Tokyo International Film Festival is—Yoji Yamada! Congratulations!"

Amidst applause and the sound of shutter clicks, Yamada Yoji walked up to the podium and received the trophy in the envious eyes of others. The bright white flash light shone on his silver hair, even a little dazzling.

"Mina-san firstly thanks the Tokyo International Film Festival committee for awarding me this award. I am honored and very grateful."

When Yamada Yoji was giving his "excited" speech, Yoshimura Otomo nudged Naoyama Naoki with his elbow:
"Naoki-san, we're going to take a group photo!"

"Hi"

This is the purpose of Naoki Nagayama's visit today~
