Chapter 1005: The Tokyo Love Story has begun!

Naoki Feng's wedding was naturally held in the family temple.

A Buddhist-style wedding, reporting one's marriage to the ancestors and Buddha, praying for the ancestors' blessing.

Similar scenes, the same solemnity and sacredness, made Akina, who had married Naoki Nagayama here not long ago, feel a bit moved, and her eyes became red.

However, this time it was stricter than Naoki Nagayama's time. The younger brothers in black suits blocked the entrance from outside the family temple all the way to the outside of the main hall.

The relatives of Ishida Xinhai were even more nervous when they saw this scene...

"Akina!"

Naoki Nagayama wanted to divert Akina's attention. When taking photos, he saw a familiar figure,

"Look at that person quickly!"

"?"

Akina followed Naoki Nagayama's direction and saw a monk in simple clothes, silently cleaning the grounds of a remote courtyard.

"That person is the paparazzi who sneakily took photos of us last time!"

"!!!"

Akina looked over again in surprise,

"Why is he still in the temple? Could it be that he wants to take photos of Feng-dage this time?"

"No..." Naoki Nagayama said, "I heard that after last time, he saw through the red dust, converted to Buddha, and really came here to become a monk!"

"!!!"

Akina opened her eyes wide, looking at her husband and then at the monk, feeling like she had heard some story.

However, she wasn't stupid after all. She looked at the other younger brothers surrounding the temple and quietly pulled Naoki Nagayama's sleeve:

"Is it because our wedding footage was leaked, so he was caught by Grandfather and locked up here ever since?!"

Naoki Nagayama looked at Akina with some surprise, not expecting her to see through this layer:

"It was indeed like that at the beginning, wanting to lock him up for a month to scare him... but later, it seems he really saw through something, and even when they let him out, he wouldn't leave, so he stayed..."

The former editor-in-chief of *Weekly Bunshun*, Kotaro Obara, now Monk Guangzhi, was sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground in front of him, as if sweeping away the troubles in his heart.

He looked up at the festive crowd and shook his head...

These people, don't they know that life between heaven and earth is like a white horse passing through a crack, just a sudden moment...

Laughing happily now is just being tied by the red dust, happy and smiling, and in the future, they will also be disturbed by the red dust, sad and painful...

What is there to be happy about in life, what is there to be bitter about in death...

What one is attached to, cause and effect arise on their own; without attachment, purity comes on its own~

Amitabha~

After the wedding banquet following the marriage ceremony, the newlyweds Naoki Feng and Ishida Xinhai embarked on their honeymoon trip.

And Naoki Nagayama and Akina naturally began their return journey to Tokyo.

On the way, Akina was a bit unwilling:

"Naoki-san, we haven't even gone on a honeymoon yet!"

"......" Naoki Nagayama reached out and gently stroked Akina's shoulder, "After the baby is born, we'll go on a honeymoon!"

"But after she's born, she'll be so small, how can I leave her~"

"Then we'll wait until she's a little older, and then we'll go on a honeymoon!"

"But when she grows up, she'll cry if she can't find her mother, and she'll still need her mother to take care of her~"

"Then we'll take her with us on our honeymoon!"

"A honeymoon is a matter for two people, what does it look like to bring a child..."

"......."

Naoki Nagayama had a headache. His wife's appearance was completely aimed at him!!!

Could it be that he had done something in these days that made Akina unhappy?!

Could it be that she found out about the bachelor party? Impossible!

Anyway... for the sake of peaceful days ahead, apologize first!

"Sumimasen, it's all my fault! Letting Akina get pregnant first, and not being able to go on a honeymoon..."

As *Suddenly Love* played in Fuji TV's prime time, *Tokyo Love Story* finally began broadcasting!

This TV series, which had been promoted for almost a month, was also a novel adaptation directed by Naoki Nagayama, making everyone full of curiosity.

And today, everyone finally waited for this opportunity!

The Tokyo Love Story has begun!

"What will it actually look like?"

Fumie Ojo held a copy of *Tokyo Love Story* in her hand, but her eyes were fixed on the TV screen,

"Hui-chan, do you think the male and female leads in the TV series will be the same as in the book?"

Her best friend, Fumie Komori, who was sitting next to her, nodded:

"It should be about the same... after all, it's a novel written by Naoki-san, and a TV series produced by Naoki-san..."

Some works adapted from novels, due to the different concepts of the director and the author, will have very different works from the original, and some directors don't even read the original work at all, just borrowing the skin of an IP to film their own things.

But this time, the author and the director were the same person, so everyone was very confident.

"Yeah, I heard that just the casting took a long time!"

Fumie Ojo stared at the screen with anticipation, thinking about the description of Rika Akana in the book,

"I want to see if there's that kind of character who walks out of the manga when they smile!"

"It won't be that exaggerated..."

Fumie Komori said,

"It's just like the manga itself is exaggerated, how could there be that kind of figure for female characters in reality!"

I have to mention here that Fumie Komori was flat-chested and very jealous of breasts!

Fumie Ojo's mouth moved slightly when she heard this. She glanced at her best friend and really couldn't say anything to make her sad... Manga figures do exist!!! And many manga characters have prototypes!

Just in the anticipation of everyone, the first episode of *Tokyo Love Story* officially began!

In the airport waiting hall with people coming and going, the dark and thin Kanji Nagao had just gotten off the plane, and then found a public phone to call the company.

Learning that the company had sent a female colleague in a blue suit to the airport to pick him up...

"Kanji Nagao, that's not bad..."

Fumie Ojo and Fumie Komori looked at the male lead who appeared, only feeling that his image was indeed a bit dark and thin, and a bit simple and honest, very much like a workplace person who came to Tokyo from a small place to work.

And next, as Honami Suzuki, who was holding the pick-up sign, revealed her face, that brilliant smile with great infectious power suddenly brought Rika Akana out of the novel~

"Sure enough, it's like walking out of a manga when she smiles!"

"It's really impressive..." "How come I haven't seen this actor before? What's her name again?"

"Honami Suzuki!"

Just relying on one appearance, Honami Suzuki gained the recognition of the audience, and also made many TV series and movie producers and directors remember this face.

Presumably, there will be no shortage of film offers from now on!

The title of the film is *Tokyo Love Story*, and in fact, it has been involved in complex emotional relationships from the beginning.

After Kanji Nagao came to Tokyo, he had a lot of contact with Rika Akana and was taken care of by her, and he had a good impression of her... but in his heart, he was still thinking about his high school sweetheart, Satomi Sekiguchi.

When Kanji attended a class reunion in Tokyo, he reunited with the beautiful Satomi Sekiguchi, but Satomi Sekiguchi was interested in the romantic Kenichi Mikami...

Rika Akana participated in the class reunion by mistake and joined this triangular relationship, becoming an even more complex relationship...

"It really is a Tokyo Love Story!"

"Yeah, the emotional line is a bit complicated..."

"Who will Kanji Nagao be with?"

"Looking at the first episode, it must be Rika!"

"But he is still thinking about Satomi Sekiguchi... Satomi Sekiguchi is also a bit too beautiful!"

"...... Yeah, it's very appropriate to use Kanako Higuchi to play her, but it feels a bit excessive to Rika..."

"....."

Fumie Ojo and Fumie Komori discussed the characters in the play while watching, and by the end of this episode, when Kanji Nagao happened to bump into Satomi Sekiguchi and Kenichi Mikami kissing, the discussion became even more intense!

"Na na na... according to my many years of experience in love dramas, couples who get together in the first episode usually don't make it to the end!"

Fumie Ojo shouted,

"I announce that this couple, Satomi Sekiguchi and Kenichi Mikami, won't work! Dame!"

"......"

Fumie Komori on the side looked at her best friend helplessly,

"Didn't you already read the ending of the novel?!"

".....!!!"

Fumie Ojo just remembered that she already knew the story!

But clearly, when she was watching just now, she didn't think of the plot in the novel at all!

"Sure enough, Naoki-san filmed it too well, making people unable to look away!"

She forcibly found a reason for herself,

"I'm looking forward to the following plot more and more!"

"......"

Fumie Komori was helpless, let me say it again, you have already read the novel!

The first episode of *Tokyo Love Story* completely satisfied the audience's expectations for this drama.

Originally, some people wanted to find fault, saying something about casting and filming problems, and maybe wanted to find some bloopers, but they were all attracted by the plot development of the TV series.

Whether it was casting or the story, or the impressive theme song *Suddenly Love*, everyone remembered this TV series and started looking forward to next week's plot~

Fuji TV's Sugiura Daitai and Nishi Rumi were both paying attention to the broadcast of this TV series in the TV station. They saw that since the TV series started broadcasting, the TV station's hotline had never stopped...

"What is the real name of the heroine?"

"Which company does Rika Akana work for?"

"Is the heroine real?"

"Is the prototype of Rika Akana her?"

"....."

These were the questions people called in at the beginning.

It turned into:

"What is the name of the actor who played Satomi Sekiguchi, has she filmed other works?"

"I think the male lead Kanji Nagao is not worthy of the beauty in the play, please change an actor!"

"Please tell me, is the emotional development in the workplace really that fast? Why am I still a small transparent until now? No one pays attention to me?"

"Kenichi Mikami is too frivolous, he can't get Satomi Sekiguchi!"

"The same operation as Kenichi Mikami, why do I get beaten when I pick up girls in a bar?"

"Regarding the following plot development, I want to talk to Naoki Nagayama, it can't follow the ending in the novel!"

"Seeing the real Rika Akana, I can't understand why Kanji Nagao chose Satomi in the end!"

"Kanji, you are not worthy of Rika's love!"

"....."

More and more bizarre opinions and questions made the operators very distressed. They could only soothe the audience's emotions while recording their opinions.

At the same time, in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto... countless families or individuals learned about this TV series.

Honami Suzuki's smile, Kanako Higuchi's beauty, Kanji Nagao's simplicity, and Kenichi Mikami's frivolity all left a deep impression on others.

The broadcast effect of the first episode could be said to have completely exceeded other TV series currently being shown!

The production bureau director of TV Tokyo, Kotaro Sakai, turned off the TV series after watching the ending song:

"It's Naoki-san again... It's a pity that we only cooperated on one *Cat's Eye* before..."

"But our TV Tokyo doesn't mainly rely on TV series, and we are poor, we don't have money to introduce Tree Friend's TV series..."

"I don't know if Tree Friend will produce animation. If there is animation, we will definitely buy it!"

On the other side, the planning department director of TV Asahi, Yosuke Nakano, also turned off the TV in the office:

"Although the *Music Station* we cooperated with Naoki-san is very effective, this doesn't mean we can only cooperate with Naoki-san on variety shows!"

"Damn it... at that time, I didn't take the opportunity to completely pull Naoki Nagayama onto TV Asahi's car while Naoki Nagayama and Fuji TV were having a conflict!"

Now it's impossible to pull him even if I want to. The fact that Tree Friend has become a shareholder of Fuji TV has been revealed, and all TV stations already know it.

This shows that the two companies have been completely tied together... although I don't know what specific agreement has been reached.

And the shareholders of our own TV Asahi would definitely not want to sell their shares!

"It's a pity, it's really a pity!"

In the TBS Hall, the same conversation was also going on.

However, TBS headquarters director Mitsuhiro Yoshioka was not watching alone, but watching with Yasushi Akimoto...

"Akimoto-san, this *Tokyo Love Story* is really extraordinary... It looks like Fuji TV will lead the ratings again this year!"

"Director Yoshioka!" Yasushi Akimoto's eyes were firm, "We have all seen Naoki-san's ability... but I am also very confident in my program!"

"I believe we will cause a national craze in the second half of the year! Just like the previous *Twilight Meow Meow*!"

Mitsuhiro Yoshioka nodded noncommittally, and then asked:

"By the way, what is the name of your program, have you decided?!"

"I've already thought about it!" Yasushi Akimoto's expression became excited, "Because it is a competitive fun competition, I decided to call it—Fighting People!"

"........"

For some reason, headquarters director Mitsuhiro Yoshioka always felt that this name was a bit ominous... feeling that the program might not have high ratings...

"Akimoto-san, do you want to consider changing a name?"

Mitsuhiro Yoshioka suggested,

"How about using Japanese? *Fight Brothers*? Or *Winner Takes All*? Or *I Am the Big Winner*..."

"No! I've set my mind on this name!"

Yasushi Akimoto said seriously,

"It will definitely be a big hit!"

"......."

In the office of Fuji TV, Nishi Rumi turned off the TV~

In fact, she had already watched it when the videotape was sent, but watching it again this time, she was still very focused. And Sugiura Daitai was paying attention to the audience's reaction:

"It looks like Naoki-san's new TV series won't have any problems!"

"Naoki-san wouldn't have any problems in the first place!" Nishi Rumi had great confidence in Naoki Nagayama, "*Tokyo Love Story* is even more excellent!"

"Haha, hindsight..." Sugiura Daitai shook his head, "Tomorrow, Nishi Rumi, make an appointment with Naoki-san, just say communicate about the broadcast effect of the TV series... and get together by the way..."

"Eh~~~ it's me again~~~"

"It's just that you and Naoki-san have a good relationship!"

"..... how come~" ===== CHAPTER 1006 =====
