Chapter 1131: Boyfriend sacrifice, magical power is boundless!!

Near midnight, the stage of the Red and White Song Festival had entered the most anticipated time. Actors and artists in the entertainment industry cheered together, looking forward to the 108 bells of the New Year.

The camera scanned the entire stage, but didn't see the familiar figure... The most beautiful person tonight, Akina Nakamori, was no longer on the stage!

In Yoyogi Park near the NHK Hall, the New Year bell ringing ceremony at Meiji Jingu was about to ring.

There were many people waiting for the New Year's bell on the approach to the shrine, and it could even be called shoulder to shoulder. The Nagayama couple, who had just sneaked out of the NHK Hall, were also mixed in the crowd with the sleepy Little Ye Zi at this time.

New Year's Eve, it's still atmospheric when there are many people~

Akina, who had changed into casual clothes, hugged her daughter with both hands, wrapped her in a down jacket, and only a small head with squinting eyes leaked out at the shoulder. Naoki Nagayama relied on his tall and strong stature to protect both of them in his arm circumference, feeling the lively atmosphere.

In the not-so-bright lights, no one could recognize that the person next to them was the one who had just appeared on the screen!

"Naoki-san, cover Ye Zi's ears when the bell rings later."

"Okay~"

"After that, go to the shrine to ask for a big amulet!"

"No problem!"

"Get up early tomorrow morning to perform Hatsumode!"

"..." Don't sleep in~

Akina today seems to be particularly energetic, full of energy as if she hadn't been busy all day... Even in the night, her eyes were shining~

Sure enough, she is a young person in her twenties!

Listening to his wife chattering in front of him, Naoki Nagayama could only nod his head like Little Ye Zi, until the crowd started counting down, and then he covered Akina and Ye Zi's ears with his hands, one on each side, and the ears in the middle just happened to cover each other~

"Dang~~~" "Dang~~~" "..."

When close, the huge bell sound was very shocking, and even Ye Zi, who was originally confused, was startled all of a sudden, opening her eyes wide and looking around.

However, feeling that her parents were both by her side, she felt relieved and didn't cry. Instead, her little eyes turned to both sides, wanting to see clearly.

The priests in the distance wore earplugs and pulled the thick ropes hard, making the bell sound endless. Even across the crowd, Naoki Nagayama seemed to be able to feel the vibration of the bronze bell.

In such a bell sound, Showa 61 slowly left, and Showa 62 officially arrived!

Little Ye Zi, who was ignorant, didn't know what New Year's Eve was, and didn't understand why the crowd started to make noise after the annoying bell stopped...

However, she felt that she had suddenly changed into a hug, more spacious and more powerful. In the familiar and warm hug, sleepiness surged like a tide, and her eyes closed uncontrollably.

Just as she was about to enter a dream, Ye Zi suddenly felt a little cool on the tip of her nose, which disappeared soon, and it didn't affect anything comfortably. At the end of her consciousness, there seemed to be only some exclamations...

"It's snowing!!!" "A good snow promises a good harvest!" "Good omen!" "So lucky!" "..."

Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori both looked up at the sky, and the snowflakes drifted down, as if celebrating the New Year~

The first day of Showa 62, starting from the falling snow!

Not a word on New Year's Eve!

The first newspaper of Showa 62 had the headline "A good snow promises a good harvest"!

The editors of the media and newspapers who hadn't slept all night seemed to have been stationed in the printing workshop, just to get the latest news, so they changed the morning report directly when it snowed at midnight.

It happened to snow during the New Year, which is indeed a good omen, especially in the era when the Japanese people's spirits are bursting, there are even exaggerated reports saying things like "The era of Japan has arrived", causing a lot of agreement...

In Shanying Yuan, which had a layer of snow, Akina, who slept until after two o'clock yesterday but was still energetic when she got up early, was busy in the kitchen.

Although there are old rules such as not being able to light a fire, the baby in the family needs to eat hot food. The baby is the biggest, so others can naturally take advantage of it!

Chieko Nakamori and Akina's grandmother, who slept in the guest room yesterday, also patiently accompanied Little Ye Zi, waiting for her daughter to make breakfast...

"Are you going back in the morning?"

Naoki Nagayama was a little surprised,

"Chieko-san and grandmother can stay in Shanying Yuan for a few more days!"

"The family also needs people!"

Chieko Nakamori shook her head. Having been the head of the family for half her life, she is not used to being served in someone else's house, even if that person is her daughter.

"Grandmother also wants to spend the New Year at Qinglai..."

Akina's grandmother is already over 70 years old, which definitely belongs to the elderly in this era. Now she lives with Chieko... If it weren't for Akina's major honor last night, she actually wouldn't want to move.

"I've gotten used to living there!" Grandmother said with a smile on the side.

At this time, Akina brought breakfast over and was about to feed Ye Zi some egg custard as complementary food. After learning about her mother and grandmother's thoughts, she also nodded:

"There are many relatives and friends in Qinglai... It's more lively... And Minghui is also there..."

Human feelings in big cities like Tokyo may be thinner. In small cities, even Japanese traditional culture has closer neighborly relations.

"Then I will send you back..."

"No need, just take the train!"

"It's okay~"

Although it is the New Year, after all, it is a big city, and there are people who have to go to work in order to earn more money.

Eating and chatting casually at the dining table, Akina said that she would go home to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year, and also had to go to Shizuoka to pay New Year's greetings, and then there were friends in Tokyo who needed to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year...

For the couple in Shanying Yuan, they are now a small family, and going to the husband's family and the mother's family is really visiting relatives.

People are celebrating the New Year, but the entertainment industry has no holidays.

The New Year's movie file is considered to be released from today, but they are about to face two major difficulties!

In front is the popular movie "Ghost" which is currently showing, its heat has not faded at all until the New Year, and after Shuyou gave the pre-sale box office data to various theater chains, this movie's screenings did not seem to decrease.

From before the New Year to after the New Year, the new films of various film companies have to be launched in the shadow of "Ghost", which is originally an annoying thing...

However, at this time, another bad news appeared again!

"It's snowing!"

Koichi Okamura, the person in charge of a movie theater under the Aeon theater chain, seemed to be touched by a keyword and immediately came to the warehouse to search for it,

"Ah... found it!!!"

What he held in his hand was the film box of a movie, and the small characters on the box also clearly marked the name of the movie—"Love Letter"!!

When it was released, it was the first snow in Tokyo, setting off a love frenzy throughout Tokyo. The singing of "Snow Flower" permeated every street and alley in Tokyo. This enduring love movie made countless infatuated men and women walk into the movie theater again and again.

And since that year, Shuyou Film has set a rule with every theater chain.

Every year when the first snow falls in Tokyo, it is the time for "Love Letter" to be re-released!

So... on the first day of the New Year, "Love Letter" was released again!!!

"Everyone, post the latest promotional poster for "Love Letter"!" Koichi Okamura instructed his subordinates in the movie theater, "Also, play "Snow Flower" in the lobby!!"

"No no... go and notify the person in charge of Aeon Mall, play "Snow Flower" in the mall today too!!"

"Loop play!!!"

Because there is no fixed time, in order for "Love Letter" to be re-released in the movie theater on time when the first snow falls, Shuyou Film has spent a lot of money in the agreement... 1% of the box office of re-releases in various cinemas is directly distributed to the movie theater!

That is to say, in addition to the original share, this 1% is completely used as the private bonus of the person in charge of the movie theater!

You know, the box office of "Love Letter" re-releases has always been very good, after all, young people grow up batch after batch... Even if a part has to be distributed to employees, the extra share is enough to make people jealous!!

This gave the movie theater sufficient enthusiasm!

After Koichi Okamura finished assigning work, he also hurriedly reminded his colleagues and friends. So one after another, movie theaters in Tokyo hung up the posters of "Love Letter" again, and inserted the screenings of "Love Letter" into the schedule...

When movie theaters were taking action one after another, as one of the colleagues in the film industry, the head of Toho, Koichi Maruyama, had to return to the company...

"Kishou... Naoki Nagayama, bullying people too much!!!"

In the conference room, the members of the Film Business Department were sitting, all of whom were urgently summoned by a phone call.

"Now facing the suppression of "Ghost" and "Love Letter"... I am thinking, other types of movies are fine, but our movie "Love Girls", should it be postponed?!"

Department Head Zhi Rui Zhong Ye said,

"After all, the pressure brought by these two movies is too great..."

"Yeah yeah... Maybe it would be better to play on Valentine's Day in February?"

"At that time, the heat of Shuyou's two love movies should have faded away!" "Shuyou doesn't seem to have any love movies released at the beginning of this year..."

All the publicity and planning staff echoed, making Koichi Maruyama, the head of the department, angry and helpless...

"You guys, don't you have the heart to compete with Shuyou?!! We are Toho!!"

"..."

The attendees looked at me and I looked at you, and they all fell silent... Can't compete, really can't compete!

"Cough cough!" Zhi Rui Zhong Ye spoke up, "Department Head... After all, we are a commercial company, and we still aim for profit... Facing the unfavorable situation, there is no need to collide head-on... It is better to adopt a roundabout method!"

"Making money, it's not cold!"

"Yes yes yes!" "Department Head Zhong Ye makes sense!" "Deserves to be the department head..." "..."

Another echo of voices, making Koichi Maruyama unable to say anything... In his heart, he actually breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to collide head-on with Shuyou either!

It's just that as the head of the department, this kind of words cannot be said by him!

"Then let's do this... Our movie is withdrawn and postponed!"

Koichi Maruyama finally made the decision,

"We won't compete with Shuyou Film for a moment of anger!"

"Department Head is reasonable!" "It should be like this!" "This is a tactical retreat!" "It is extreme, it is extreme..."

Koichi Maruyama, sitting at the front, looked at the nodding bugs in the conference room, and for a while, he couldn't even get angry... He just felt that Toho would be finished sooner or later in the hands of this group of guys!

At the same time, similar conversations also took place among the senior management of other film companies...

Shochiku's headquarters, in a small department meeting...

"Should our "Tora-san: The Happiness of the Blue Bird" be withdrawn?"

"No need, right? Tora-san's story is not a love movie..."

"There are love elements!"

"Consider it a daily movie..."

"..."

After a discussion, it was finally decided not to withdraw. After all, Tora-san's story has become a habit to be released every year, and there will be a group of loyal fans who will pay for it!

Toei's office, Department Head Takafumi Ogasawara is calling director Yoichi Higashi.

"Director Higashi... It seems that "Incarnation" should be postponed for a while..."

"But Department Head, this movie was originally scheduled to be released in the second half of the year!! At that time, it was said..." Director Yoichi Higashi on the phone was very aggrieved, "It has already been postponed to the beginning of the year..."

"In October, it was said to avoid the limelight of "Tiger of Ginza", and at Christmas, it had to avoid the limelight of "Ghost"... Now it's New Year's... Could it be that our Toei has to avoid it all the time?!"

"I TM am not thinking for your movie?!" Takafumi Ogasawara had countless scolding words in his heart that he didn't say...

Taking a few deep breaths, he calmed his mood:

"Director Higashi... Now there is the double pressure of "Ghost" and "Love Letter"... Do you think your "Incarnation" can block it?!"

"..."

"Not talking, right? That's the default!" Takafumi Ogasawara set the tone directly, "Then "Incarnation" will be left for Valentine's Day on February 14th!"

"Hai..."

On the street of the New Year, the singing of "Snow Flower" echoed in the record store on the commercial street again!!

People who came to shop for the New Year or go shopping also received the information...

"This is... Akina Nakamori's "Snow Flower"?! "

"No wonder it's so familiar! It's the theme song of "Love Letter" that year!"

"So that means, "Love Letter" is re-released again?!"

"Didn't it snow last night..."

"Also..." "..."

"Love Letter" has been re-released several times, so people who love movies know more or less!

Not to mention the quality of "Love Letter" itself, this kind of love movie that is re-released only when the first snow falls every year is full of romantic atmosphere, and young people in the new era also love it very much...

Those who have seen it want to watch it again, and those who haven't seen it are naturally curious to pull their lovers to check in...

""Love Letter" and "Ghost"... Haha, they are both played by Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori!!!"

"I want to watch it twice today!"

"Is Shuyou trying to earn our tears twice?!"

"..."

The audience looked at the posters of the two movies in the movie theater and all laughed... Some young couples began to consider the screenings, really wanting to brush two movies in a row!

And some smart audience members seemed to find a blind spot:

"Wait a minute... Have you found out... The love movies that Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori filmed together... seem to be that the man died!!!"

"Really!!! Has it become a habit?"

"Boyfriend sacrifice, magical power is boundless?!"

"Hahaha... Doesn't Naoki Nagayama worry?!"

"..."

No matter what the audience said, their bodies honestly went to buy tickets.

This year's New Year's file, let's pick one from the two love movies of Shuyou Film!

Brushing two in a row is also fine!

Under word of mouth, more and more people walked into the movie theater~
