Tokyo Bubble Life

Under the collective gaze of both the black and white worlds, the blessing ceremony was naturally a complete success. The breathless Murata grandmother presented Naoki Nagayama with thick incense sticks as an offering to the gods of heaven and earth.

According to the rules of Shuyou, after the start-up blessing ceremony, a group of shots must be taken, whether as an introduction or as a beginning, which indicates that the film has officially started.

After asking the crew members to start preparing for filming, Naoki Nagayama walked over to Nan Junxiong and handed him a thick script:

"Section Chief Nan Junxiong, this is the script of "Hayato: The New World". The police character in it is based on the policeman that my grandfather once met."

Reaching out to take it, looking at such a thick bound manuscript paper, Nan Junxiong didn't know what to say for a moment. How could he hand it over so easily? Is there really nothing to hide?

At this moment, my grandfather, Nagayama Hayato, came over:

"Mr. Policeman, if there is nothing wrong, you can disband us. We are shooting a legitimate movie here. It would be strange to have outsiders here."

"Haha, Grandfather, there's no need to be so reserved. The story is also somewhat related to Section Chief Nam Joon-woong."

Naoki Nagayama stopped him and looked back to see that Tomokazu Miura had already changed into an old police uniform from the 1920s and 1930s. He looked like a police officer who had walked out of history.
"Look, that's the police character played by Tomokazu Miura"

Nan Junxiong turned around and saw the outdated police uniform he had worn before, and Miura Tomokazu, who looked righteous with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a long-lost memory came to his mind~
Once upon a time, he joined the National Police Agency at a similar age, and wore a police uniform like this to maintain law and order in the streets of Tokyo, fight against evil, and uphold justice!

Nan Junxiong looked at the image of Miura Tomokazu and seemed to see the high-spirited young man again. However, that was more than 40 years ago.
Seeing Nan Junxiong's stunned expression, Nagayama Naoki's eyes turned and suggested, "Section Chief Nan Junxiong, you and Miura Tomokazu look a bit alike, why don't you take a photo together?"

"This"

Before Nan Junxiong could come to his senses, Naoyama Naoki pulled him to stand with Miura Tomokazu. A photographer who appeared out of nowhere held up a high-definition camera and said, "Smile, babe~"

With a click, Nam Jun-woong, wearing a modern police uniform, and Miura Tomokazu, wearing a police uniform from decades ago, were captured on the film.
Publicity stunt – get daze!
In the early Showa era, train stations were bustling with passengers.

Amid the whistles and white steam, Tomokazu Miura, in uniform, was stamping his feet impatiently.

He came to the train station to wait for his former fellow villager, Nagayama Hayato (played by Nagayama Kaede) who came from the countryside.

After the defeat, people's hearts were in turmoil, the economy was in a downturn, and the underworld in Tokyo became more rampant. Various groups engaged in smuggling and drug trafficking, clashed with each other, fought for territory, and caused bloody incidents from time to time, which caused headaches for the National Police Agency.

Under such circumstances, the National Police Agency came into being with the "Informant Plan" in order to detect the movements of yakuza groups in advance, crack down on all kinds of crimes in a timely manner, and even manipulate yakuza groups.

A legitimate policeman with a promising future naturally would not want to be degraded to an informant, so the police showed their abilities and found trustworthy, well-connected and close "friends" and persuaded them to become informants for the police, join the Yakuza group and provide intelligence.
It is promised that after the mission is completed, you will be cleansed, receive a generous bonus and the friendship of the police department, but mainly the bonus!
"Yo~ Baka Aibo!!!" (Baka + AIBO, stupid brothers)
A half-Japanese, half-English, nondescript but highly infectious address came from the front. A tall figure emerged from the mist, and then a young man in a half-worn kimono walked out and strode towards Miura Tomokazu.
"You're doing pretty well, now you're wearing a police uniform!"

Nagayama Hayato opened his arms, gave Miura Tomokazu a big hug, and patted his partner on the back.

"Baga Aibo, I'm here to join you! Hahahaha~"

Miura Tomokazu experienced the long-lost enthusiasm with a helpless look on his face, and almost coughed
Nagayama Hayato is his fellow countryman, and they have known each other since childhood. However, he has never had a proper job since he grew up, and has been living a lazy life. He has already taken on the prototype of a Yakuza.
This time, he was assigned the task of the "Informant Plan" by his boss, and the first person he thought of was Hayato Nagayama. Apart from anything else, the generous informant bonus could help this "childhood sweetheart"!

"Baga! Are you going to kill me?"

Miura Tomokazu pretended to be angry, slapped Nagayama Hayato's arm, and then carefully adjusted his uniform.
"Let's go to the Fengqing Street. I'll welcome you and take you to experience the prosperity of Tokyo!"

"Huh?" Nagayama Hayato was a little surprised. "Didn't you ask me to work as an intelligence agent for the club? Won't you be discovered if you come with me in a police uniform?"

"What's the big deal? It's no secret that the police and the gang know each other."

Tomokazu Miura waved his hand and led Hayato Nagayama out of the station without any concern.

In this era of Japan, if a gang member has a good relationship with the police, his status in the gang can rise. After all, the Yakuza who are involved in the underworld know that what they do is illegal, and everyone hopes that when they go to prison, there will be someone who can talk to them.
The role of informants is actually just to let the police know the basic movements of the society. Of course, the real high-level informants, those bigger Yakuza leaders, have close ties with the government and may be the white gloves of some big boss.

The relationship between the police and the underworld in this era is so complicated.

Speaking of which, the Japanese police are actually like the largest gang!

“Cut!!! Yo, the first scene is great!!!”

Naoki Nagayama held a loud speaker and said to the crew,

"Good luck with the start-up!"

“Oh oh oh~” “Okay~” “That’s great~” The crew members all became happy.

Nan Junxiong, who had been watching from the side, saw this scene, his mouth twitched, not knowing what to say.

What's going on? When did this guy Nagayama Hayato and I become childhood friends?!
The first time I met Nagayama Hayato, I was patrolling the streets. I saw this guy walking around arrogantly, so I went up to question him. I wanted to take him back, but he shamelessly ran away. Then he didn't follow the rules of martial arts and called his accomplices to besiege me while I was chasing him!!!
"How is this going?!"

Facing Nan Junxiong's burning gaze, Naoki Nagayama scratched his cheek a little embarrassedly:

"Hahaha, it's film art. Only by adapting it appropriately can the plot have more conflicting power~"

"."

He turned to Nagayama Hayato who was also watching on the other side.
"You also agree with him doing this?!"

"Well," the real Nagayama Hayato smiled, "I came to Tokyo without knowing what was going on. After reading the script, I felt that this kind of beginning was indeed more attractive!"

"But when did we become Ai Bo?! And what about the informant plan? It doesn't exist at all!"

"Who said it was you!" Nagayama Hayato looked disgusted, and borrowed the words from Naoki Nagayama's script, "That positive image is a collection of positive people I met when I was young, including brothers, people who are kind to me, and partners I trust. You just lent out the skin of a policeman~"

"Besides, how do you know there was no informant plan?! You were just a patrolman at the time."

"you!!!"

Nam Joon-woong didn’t know how to refute for a moment. He became more and more annoyed as he watched the increasingly lively set. He snorted coldly and turned away.

Of course, he did not forget to bring the thick script. He wanted to take a good look at the script of the movie to see if it was an insult to the police!
If that's the case, we must work with the Police Department to put pressure on him. Now he is not a patrolman!
By the way, I also need to ask the Countermeasures Department if there have ever been any strange informant plans!

With the departure of the police team, the entire set became more relaxed. Nagayama Hayato brought a group of former Yakuza and exchanged the gang's jargon and slang with the actors.

They even demonstrated their signature tongue-flicking skills. These guys are all veteran gangsters, and they are more skillful at tongue-flicking than the other, making the set as lively as an internal technical discussion meeting of the club.
Naoki Nagayama secretly found the cameraman who had taken the photo before:

"Develop the photos as soon as possible and give them to Sugiyama Shihiko in the Distribution Department. Tell him that this is a publicity stunt!"

"He will definitely make good use of it!"

"Hi!"

The cameraman nodded and left silently.
Akina Nakamori returned to Yamazakurain in a very happy mood. The bright silk jacket she was wearing looked like a colorful flower in the sunlight.

After Qinglai talked to her mother for a long time, some of her worries about the unexpected pregnancy were gone.

Different from the reluctance and sadness and tears that Naoki Nagayama imagined, Chieko Nakamori was a strong woman who raised six children almost alone. She had married off two daughters and arranged the marriages of her two sons. She was already very familiar with her children's marriages!

The main reason for keeping my daughter was to talk to her about how to take good care of yourself during pregnancy, how to keep yourself healthy, and some embarrassing things. At least what not to do in the first three months and the last three months.

"Nyanotaro!" Akina Nakamori touched the dog's head, "Are you and Mai-Nyanotaro the only ones looking after the house again?!"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"Yoshi, yoshi, good dog! I'll give you some vaccinations later, and then you can stay with me all the time!"

Akina Nakamori stroked the dog's head hard, making the Labrador's square face look like an embarrassed character before letting go. Then she ran to Nyankotaro on the sofa and sucked him hard.

With his later experience, Naoki Nagayama naturally vaccinated all the cats and dogs at home.

After a brief silence, Akina Nakamori picked up the phone and called Akiko Fusano.

"Hi, I'm back at Yamazakurain!" "I'm in good health, and I can make the announcement tonight!" "I'll probably need to choose a kimono in a couple of days, so please help me find a store that makes custom kimonos."

After discussing the work, Akina Nakamori started to tidy up her room and bedroom. At least some cosmetics that are irritating to the body cannot be used for the time being.
At the same time, Ming Xingfang, who was studying sound, was also in contact with the TV station's program team.

"Hi, we've already communicated, there's no problem with the recording of 'Night Hit', we'll be there on time."

"That's good, that's good~ If Mingcai-chan doesn't come, we will be very distressed~" the staff on the phone said repeatedly, and then, as if hesitating for a moment, he lowered his voice and asked, "By the way, Fang Ze-san, I heard a piece of gossip, I don't know whether I should ask or not?"

"Hmm?" Ming Xingfang suddenly became alert, "What gossip?"

"I heard that Akina-chan and Naoki-san are getting married?" The voice came from the microphone, making Akina Fusano's worries come true!

"Haha, of course they are going to get married. They are already engaged~" Ming Xingfang laughed and tried to perfunctorily answer, "Where did the news come from?"

"I heard they're getting married soon!" the person on the phone continued, "I heard it's in November!"

"Um, where did you hear that?"

Ming Xingfang was a little speechless. How come people in the entertainment industry are so well-informed? !

"Is that true?!"

The tone in the microphone suddenly became louder, and a big piece of news was confirmed! The turmoil in the entertainment industry is about to strike again!

"Of course Akina-chan and Naoki-san said they were going to get married. But the date hasn't been set yet. Where did you hear this news?"

Ming Xingfang was still playing dumb. After all, before the real invitation was sent out, anyone who asked would know that the time was not yet determined and the place was unknown!

"Of course, from the insider!" The voice on the other end of the phone laughed, "There are no secrets in the entertainment industry. You know this, Fang Ze-san, so don't ask any more questions~"

"Tsk~" Ming Xingfang made a tsk sound and didn't say anything else.

"So, in this show, can we interview Akina-chan about what her wedding plans are like?!"

The guy on the phone continued to ask.

"I've already said it's not yet, what's the point of asking!" Ming Xingfang continued to refuse, "It's better to focus on the new song of "Roppongi Junjou Pie"!"

"Hi hi~"

The contact person for "Night Hit" didn't say much, but during the recording, it's okay for the host to improvise or something!

After hanging up the phone, Ming Xingfang let out a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, the news leaked out.
He looked up at all the employees of Yanyin and felt that each of them looked like a leaker. This is the nature of agencies in the entertainment industry!
"Anyway, we must be prepared for good news to fly everywhere!"

"Maki-chan!" He called Ueda Maki, "Akina-chan has returned to Yamazakurain. Go pick her up and go back to Kenon later. Then we'll go to Fuji TV together to participate in the recording of the show!"

"Hi!" Ueda Maki responded, and then said in surprise, "Akina-chan is back from Qinglai. Has she already told her family about it?"

"This isn't a problem in the first place. Naoki-san and Akina-chan have already met each other's parents!"

"Aren't you still going to propose marriage?"

"Baga, even the Prime Minister would be satisfied with a son-in-law like Naoki-san! How could he not agree?"

"."

Ueda Maki pouted and left~
As for the remaining Akiyuki Fusa crossed his arms and thought for a while, then stood up and walked towards the office of the president, Hanami Kazuki. He wanted to communicate with the president about the countermeasures when the news was officially announced!
The news of marriage between the top idol in the entertainment industry and the famous director must be more surprising than the official announcement of their relationship!
"How about holding a special press conference?"

"Matsuda Seiko broke up with Go Hiromi, and she and Kanda Masaki were dating, engaged, and married, and all had press conferences!"
