Gunma Prefecture, at the foot of Mount Akina.

Many staff members put the filming props in the designated location, then set up temporary tents, and some people prepared to cook. Basically everyone had their own things to do, and listening to the racing cars whizzing past on the mountain road above, some people couldn't help but sigh that Akina Mountain really makes racing drivers fascinated just like in the comics.

Fujie Akiyoshi was not here. He was not far away directing some staff to build Takumi's tofu shop. At this time, a phone call came in, and when he saw that it was Suzuki Jirokichi, he immediately answered it.

"Hello, Mr. Jiroyoshi!"

"Fujie boy, how are your preparations going? I have asked people to send you a lot of cars, they should be here soon."

As soon as I finished speaking on the phone, a voice came from outside:

"Mr. Fujie, the things Mr. Suzuki sent have arrived!"

"Wow, so soon. I'm not even there yet!"

Suzuki Jirokichi spoke with a bit of anxiety, after all, the filming of "Initial D" was a big event. As the first comic book fan and a person who loves to show off, this opening ceremony attracted much attention, and many TV stations would invite people to attend.

He absolutely, absolutely cannot be absent from such a limelight event!

"It's okay. The official launch will be tomorrow."

Fujie Akiyoshi knew his concerns, there was still one day left anyway.

"Well, if I had known, I wouldn't have gone to Hawaii for vacation."

After chatting for a few more words before hanging up the phone, Jirokichi, sitting on his private plane, shouted towards the captain's cabin:

"Fly quickly, we must land in Japan tonight!"

"Yes!"

On the other side, inside the Suzuki family’s mansion.

Suzuki Ayako dressed up and got into the arranged car with a confident smile on her face. She said goodbye to the Suzuki couple who were seeing her off and left.

"Tomoko, I haven't seen Ayako smile so naturally in a long time!"

Shiro Suzuki sighed.

"Yes, it is indeed very happy to let Ayako do what she likes. However, don't forget that if they don't make this movie well, Ayako won't be able to continue pursuing what she likes!"

Tomoko said this with a hard heart. She didn't hope that the movie starring Suzuki Ayako and Fujie Akiyoshi would be bad. If it could be well-made and well-received, it would be fine. But if it wasn't good, they would have to accept their fate as a marriage alliance!

At Teitan Junior High School, since Sayuri Matsumoto was the main staff member who produced Fujie Akiyoshi's theme song, she was also invited to the start-up site.

The beautiful teacher is not here, so today's music class was changed to self-study.

"That's great, Mr. Matsumoto finally doesn't want to give music lessons anymore!"

In the classroom, Kudo Shinichi shouted happily when he heard that the music class was changed to self-study. Then, he felt a chill on his back and found that almost everyone in the class was looking at him with unfriendly eyes.

Teacher Matsumoto is so pretty and is very nice to everyone in the class. Kudo Shinichi just likes to tease him all the time. Except for Kudo Shinichi, everyone else likes this music teacher very much, so naturally they don't look at Kudo Shinichi well.

"I don't know why you suddenly stopped teaching, but I hope Mr. Matsumoto is safe. If there's anything, it's okay to spend more time with him. Haha."

He said something awkwardly, and everyone stopped looking at him.

"Don't worry, Kudo-san. Mr. Matsumoto is just going to attend the opening ceremony of "Initial D" tomorrow. He will be back after he's done with it. The self-study class tomorrow afternoon will make up for today's!"

Suzuki Sonoko turned her head and looked at Kudo Shinichi with a playful expression.

"Is this so!"

Kudo Shinichi didn't say anything. Many classmates asked Sonoko happily after hearing the news.

"Of course, Mr. Matsumoto is actually a member of Fujie Film's music production team. He is responsible for the music creation of "Initial D" and will definitely not be absent. That's all the information. Believe in Miss Sonoko's ability, I won't lie to you! Oh hehe!"

"Garden..."

Looking at Yuanzi's appearance, Xiaolan beside her really didn't know what to say.

"What? She went to work with that man again. She will be back soon!"

Kudo Shinichi becomes unhappy when Fujie Akiyoshi is mentioned.

The reason is simple. Xiaolan and he are very close. At first, Xiaolan just went to see her a few times a month as a routine. Later, when they became familiar with each other, Fujie Akiyoshi often went to play with them. When Xiaolan participated in karate competitions, she would invite him to watch, which made him very uncomfortable.

He is a cartoonist, so how come he has so much time to hang out with girls?

What a waste of time!

"It's such a pity. It would be nice if I didn't have to go to school. Otherwise, I would definitely go to the opening ceremony. I heard that Fujie-kun has found several good-looking actors to perform in several artist companies."

Yuanzi held her chin with both hands, looking like an infatuated girl.

"Hehe, Xiaolan, you haven't seen Brother Fujie for several days. Are you missing him a little?"

Yuanzi stared at Xiaolan and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"No, it's only been three days. It's not that long."

Xiaolan said quickly, but in her mind, Fujie Akiyoshi's warm smile appeared. Then, her face turned red, and she said:

"So I kind of miss him..."

"Xiao Lan, you are telling the truth, right?"

Yuanzi smiled and reached out to tickle Xiaolan, and the two of them started playing around all night.

"What? What's so good about that cartoonist that Xiaolan cares so much about him?"

Kudo Shinichi was very unhappy listening to those conversations. He lay on the table looking at Xiaolan, and then spent this study class in boredom.

The next day, at the filming site of Akina Mountain, Suzuki Ayako, who had rested well, was wearing a vest. She served as the assistant director and chief screenwriter during the filming of the movie. As for the chief director, it was the lead actor Fujie Akiyoshi. In order to be a good director, he also bought a level 4 director skill.

Everything is ready, except for the opening ceremony.

Reporters from various TV stations have already arrived here, and many people have come here to see the event.

"Finally arrived!"

A long car stopped by the roadside, and after the door opened, Suzuki Jiroji got out of the car, his feet on the ground, and watched that it had not officially started yet. His panicked heart calmed down, and then he was ready to appear in front of a large number of reporters.

"Mr. Suzuki is here!"

I don't know who said it first, but countless reporters and cameras immediately moved and surrounded Suzuki Jirokichi.

"Mr. Suzuki, in addition to attending the filming of this movie, will you be taking on any other duties?"

"Mr. Suzuki, how confident are you about the filming of the movie? I heard that the cars used in the movie were all arranged by you personally. Do you plan to show off your skills?"

Suzuki Jirokichi remained silent despite the overwhelming number of questions. He only opened his eyes and answered when his bodyguards rushed over to protect him.

"I won't get involved too much in the filming plan, after all, I don't have the relevant skills. But I will provide all the help I can when they need it, just like the vehicles used in the film. Anyway, I don't have much to worry about with my niece as the assistant director of this film."

Seeing that Suzuki Jirokichi was still interested in answering, the reporters asked him one after another, trying to get some explosive news out of him.

"Mr. Suzuki, and all media friends, the opening ceremony can begin now!"

A staff member standing not far away shouted, and the reporters who were originally surrounding Suzuki Jirokichi ran over and left Suzuki Jirokichi and his bodyguards behind.

"Wait for me!"

Suzuki Jirokichi reacted and ran towards the venue of the opening ceremony.

Everything that was needed had been prepared, and Fujie Akiyoshi even specially placed a statue of Guan Gong and burned some incense.

On the side, Suzuki Ayako and Matsumoto Sayuri were answering some reporters' questions and introducing some actors.

The reporters did not expect that Fujie Akiyoshi would ask his two senior high school classmates to do these things. They were skeptical about whether Initial D could be successful, but it had nothing to do with them. What they wanted was news that could make the headlines.

Whether the movie is successful or not, as long as it allows them to catch up with the big news, that’s all!

After that, the usual opening ceremony was held. Everyone stood together to take pictures. Suzuki Jirokichi, the old naughty boy, wanted to grab the center position from Fujie Akiyoshi. So he just gave it to him.

Now that the photo shoot is completed, it means that it’s time for “Initial D” to officially start filming!
