Chapter 1199

In the living room of Shanying Garden, Naoki Nagayama listened to Akina's narration with great surprise, and little Ye Zi in his arms also opened her eyes wide to look at her mother's excited appearance, seemingly also very surprised.

"Is it actually performing on the same stage as Michael Jackson?!"

"Hai... Although it's only a guest for one song, it's also a very rare opportunity!"

Akina, who said this, seemed to have light shining in her eyes~

Then she remembered that Naoki Nagayama seemed to know many people in the American entertainment industry, even the popular American pop diva Madonna, so she asked curiously:

"Naoki-san, you seem to know many people in the American entertainment industry. Do you know Michael Jackson?"

"......"

Hearing this, Naoki Nagayama was a bit speechless. He just happened to meet the guy who painted abstract paintings in New York, and that guy happened to be Madonna's ex-boyfriend... Since when did he know many people...

"I naturally know him... He should also know me... But we two don't know each other..."

Naoki Nagayama has won the Palme d'Or, so he is considered an internationally renowned director. As long as you have paid attention to Cannes, or are mixing in the entertainment industry, you definitely know him.

Of course, a director, a role behind the scenes, naturally doesn't have the fame of a star singer, so there are definitely many more people who know Michael Jackson...

"So, you don't know each other..."

Akina was a bit disappointed, but immediately became active again,

"Then when we rehearse in three months, I will introduce you to him after I know him!"

"Haha, then thank you very much, Akina..."

For a celebrity-level figure like Michael Jackson, Naoki Nagayama actually doesn't have much desire to get to know him. After all... he's not a good-looking young lady...

However, since he is a celebrity who can leave his name in history, it doesn't matter if he meets him~

"The song sung is I Just Can't Stop Loving You!"

Akina continued, a distressed look appearing on her face,

"I have heard it many times, but... when singing, if my English is not good, it will be very embarrassing..."

Japanese-style English, in fact, the Japanese themselves know that there is a big difference in pronunciation from Europe and America... And Akina is a little academic scumbag, and her English was learned in a short-term training class after her debut.

"Daijoubu..."

Naoki Nagayama was very confident,

"There are all Japanese people under the stage! They will feel that Akina's English is relatively standard!"

"Naoki-san!"

Akina, who heard the teasing tone, got angry, and her delicate cheeks puffed up... Although she is already a mother, she is still very cute when making such movements.

Seeing that her husband had no intention of reflecting, Akina picked up little Ye Zi and lifted her up, then brought her head close to Naoki Nagayama:

"Ye Zi, help Mom bite him!"

"...... Eh?"

Naoki Nagayama dodged little Ye Zi, who was laughing and laughing, and couldn't use force, and then his palm was bitten... It didn't hurt, but it was wet with saliva.

"Akina, are you using Ye Zi as a weapon?"

"Hmph... Little Ye Zi is voluntary!"

Akina kissed her daughter and looked at Naoki Nagayama triumphantly, also feeling eager to try,

"Naoki-san, you are laughing at me!"

"Alright, alright... Sumimasen..."

Naoki Nagayama apologized very sensibly,

"As a sincerity for the apology, how about I help Akina practice English before rehearsal?!"

"Hmm... Deal!"

Akina agreed. With the help of Naoki Nagayama, a gold-medal musician who is fluent in English, the English of a single song is definitely no problem!

Akina, who felt the sincerity, sent little Ye Zi back to her father's arms and started preparing lunch.

Akina, who received good news in the morning, was in a good mood, and after seeing her husband Naoki Nagayama return, she was in an even better mood.

So under such pleasure, she rarely made a big table of dishes and took out red wine to have a drink with Naoki Nagayama...

"Drinking at noon..."

Naoki Nagayama was a bit surprised. Generally, it's evening drinking~

"What's wrong? Does Naoki-san have anything to do in the afternoon?"

Akina, who had already taken a big sip, had a slightly flushed face. I don't know if it was the heat of the busy work just now or the drunkenness, and the bright smile on her face seemed to have some pink color~

"There's nothing to do..."

"Then stay at home and accompany me and Ye Zi well!"

Looking at his wife's slightly flushed eyes, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but tidy up his clothes slightly... How come it feels like the prey and the hunter have swapped positions!

Fortunately, he is only 25 now, nothing to worry about!

However, it's still daytime now!!

Otomo Yoshimura of the Shuyou Building happened to see the crew members returning to the company when he went downstairs for lunch at noon.

"Is Naoki-san back?"

Subconsciously asked Yin Tangxiu beside him, but immediately remembered that this guy might not be as familiar with the company's affairs as he is.

Yin Tangxiu has been busy with social banquets and promoting the Proposal during this period, and almost has no time to return to the company. He only returned today because of the monthly meeting.

So he asked Yukika Suzuki at the front desk directly:

"Yukika-chan, is Naoki-san back?"

"I didn't see Naoki-san~" Yukika Suzuki replied honestly, "But the crew did return. Araki-san just went to the editing room to store materials!"

"I see..."

Otomo Yoshimura complained to Yin Tangxiu,

"Naoki-san, this guy, didn't even come to the company when he returned to Tokyo... He didn't even participate in the monthly meeting of middle and senior management!

Besides filming movies, does he not care about other businesses of the film department?! He doesn't even care about new scripts...

Overseas distribution companies, animation departments before..."

"The progress of My Neighbor Totoro, which he was very concerned about, is halfway through, and the person in charge has asked several times, but he just can't see Naoki-san's person!"

Once mentioned, Otomo Yoshimura's resentment was about to rush out of the Shuyou Building!

"....... Haha, Naoki-san might have something to be busy with... Besides, isn't there me managing the film department..."

Yin Tangxiu laughed it off.

"That guy, what could he be busy with!"

Otomo Yoshimura took Yin Tangxiu to a restaurant they often went to nearby, complaining while walking,

"He must have gone home to see his daughter for the first time... He's so young, how did he become a daughter-slave..."

"Heheh"

Is it good for you to speak ill of another daughter-slave to a daughter-slave?!

Yin Tangxiu shook his head and had no intention of continuing to argue with Otomo Yoshimura. After all, Shuyou really can't do without Otomo-san... It won't work even for a day!

"Otomo-san... Do you think our Proposal can pass?"

He changed the subject,

"I have been promoting it very difficultly during this period! The progress of winning over members is very slow..."

"I think there is no problem... At least the proposal is for the rights and interests of film industry practitioners."

Otomo Yoshimura didn't hide anything from his good friend,

"However, maybe our understanding of politics is not deep enough..."

"All proposals in the House of Representatives and the House of Councilors are almost from top to bottom, and can only be promoted through the concerted efforts of political parties."

Otomo Yoshimura said,

"The Tokyo Film Industry Association should also find a political party to support itself!"

"...... Who to find?"

Yin Tangxiu naturally thought of the biggest one,

"Liberal Democratic Party?"

"Liberal Democratic Party won't work..." Otomo Yoshimura shook his head, "The Liberal Democratic Party is too big... deeply rooted, and simply doesn't look at the newly established Film Association..."

"Then..." Yin Tangxiu thought for a while, "Those small political parties? Social Democratic Party? Komeito? But they might not..."

"Social Democratic Party can be contacted... After all, they are all activists of labor unions and agricultural cooperatives... Our class is consistent..."

"Hmm... Then go and contact them..."

Yin Tangxiu nodded and accepted his friend's suggestion.

The two ate a simple meal while eating noodles. They both had dinner appointments at night, and noon was just for convenience.

However, while eating noodles, Yin Tangxiu suddenly remembered:

"Otomo-san, didn't you sponsor a young man before? How is he now? Can he help?"

"Noda... He was indeed elected as a member of Chiba Prefecture."

Otomo Yoshimura shook his head,

"But that's just a local member... At least he can't run for a member of the Diet until next year, so he can't help much."

"Ah... It's just a seed..."

"It's a star of tomorrow!" Otomo Yoshimura smiled, "Yoshihiko Noda is the youngest member in Japan!"

"Hahaha, then wait for him to become a big politician and take care of us!"

Yin Tangxiu said with a smile,

"I will still go to see the Social Democratic Party next..."

The two talked while eating. After returning to the company, Otomo Yoshimura had to prepare to continue holding the meeting in the afternoon... The morning was film business, and the afternoon meeting was mainly about agency business.

President Masami Inada of the Shuyou office now needs to coordinate the work of five or six well-known artists and is too busy to see anyone all day.

And because it is June, the report today at the meeting was the artist's plan for next month or even the half-year:

"The theme of Shizuka Kudo's next record is summer seaside, surfing... Shizuka-chan likes surfing very much, and we are thinking about whether to build it into a characteristic label. The plan for the national tour in the second half of the year can already be started..."

"Yuki Saito, Junko Sato, and others, carry out the next record planning step by step..."

"Riho Miyazawa is old enough. In addition to magazine advertising business, she can consider debuting! The idol debut planning will be carried out in the second half of the year..."

"Also, Izumi Sakai and Yutaka Ozaki are now in the same label. The styles of the two sides are different. We plan to start a new music label in the second half of the year..."

"......."

Although Masami Inada's report was very concise, because there were too many artists managed, it took a full half an hour.

Otomo Yoshimura understood after listening at the meeting table and nodded:

"A new month, and also a month that officially enters summer, Inada-kun, you have many things and a lot of pressure!"

"Hai, I will work hard!" Masami Inada made a guarantee to Otomo Yoshimura.

"Hmm..."

Otomo Yoshimura flipped through the monthly plan and the plan for the second half of the year, thought slightly, and only gave two instructions:

"The debut plan for Riho Miyazawa needs to wait for Naoki-san to return for discussion."

"And the music label for Izumi Sakai, this matter also needs Naoki-san to make the final decision..."

"Others can carry out work according to the current plan~"

Riho Miyazawa and Izumi Sakai were both signed by Naoki Nagayama. For these two artists, Otomo Yoshimura believed that it was better to wait for Naoki Nagayama to arrange them personally.

"Hai...."

Masami Inada had no questions at all. In the Japanese workplace, subordinates will not oppose the orders of superiors.

"Next..."

Otomo Yoshimura looked at Kazuhisa Fujiwara.

And Kazuhisa Fujiwara also stood up and said:

"Otomo-san... Starting from the second half of the year, the second season of The Voice of Japan can be prepared... The general process can be referenced according to the first season, but in terms of mentors, we need to re-select..."

"The Voice of Japan..."

Otomo Yoshimura sighed, another project that needs Naoki Nagayama's nod...

Naoki Nagayama, this guy, didn't come to the company after returning to Tokyo, delaying so many things!

"This... also needs to wait for Naoki-san to confirm, but Fujiwara-san, you can list the candidates for pre-mentors first..."

"Hai, I understand!"

The Miura family in Kunitachi City.

Momoe Yamaguchi has been accompanying her two sons at home for the past few days, washing clothes and cooking for them, coaxing them to sleep... The eldest son can already go to kindergarten, but the younger son can't leave his mother, and he has been exceptionally happy these past few days.

Since her comeback and participating in Departures, although she can see her children every day when she returns home after filming, the reduced time for companionship is inevitable, which makes Momoe Yamaguchi a bit guilty.

"Yutaro, Takahiro... another month or so..."

Momoe Yamaguchi said to her sons,

"Then Mom can stay at home and accompany you all the time..."

"Hontou?" Yutaro Miura asked, "Don't you need to go out to work?"

"Work is done..."

According to the filming progress, Naoki Nagayama will definitely finish filming Departures in June.

"That's great~"

Yutaro continued to ask,

"Then Otousan? Will he also stay at home and accompany us?"

"Your dad..."

Momoe Yamaguchi shook her head,

"He might be even busier..."

After filming Departures, Tomokazu Miura's career will undoubtedly go to the next level... And after her comeback, the public's view of him will also be slightly better...

There is still a difference between someone who married a goddess and someone who married a goddess and hid her so others couldn't see her.

The former is envy and jealousy, the latter is envy, jealousy, and hatred...

Just when Momoe Yamaguchi was chatting with her son, the door of the house opened... She saw Tomokazu Miura walking in slowly:

"I... finally came back..."

"Tomokazu... What's wrong with you?!"

Momoe Yamaguchi, who wanted to say welcome back, saw the somewhat haggard face of Tomokazu Miura and was a bit worried...

"Momoe..."

Tomokazu Miura looked at his wife, feeling extremely aggrieved,

"Naoki-san is not a human, he let me run in the cold wind for many hours!!!"

"......."

Momoe Yamaguchi was stunned for a moment, then hurried to welcome him in, served hot tea... and then, in the aggrieved narration of her husband, she learned the truth...

In fact, it wasn't that exaggerated... It was just that Naoki Nagayama, for the sake of filming effects, let Tomokazu Miura move his body.

At most 1 hour, it was already quite a lot, and it was in the process of intermittent filming, filming many shots...

It's just that Tomokazu Miura was like a child, exaggeratingly complaining after returning.

"Alright, alright, father of the children... Forget the unhappiness of Daisetsuzan, you are already back~"

Momoe Yamaguchi is a warm family harbor at this time, soothing Tomokazu Miura's heart,

"And after a few more days, Departures will be filmed soon..."

"Then you can rest well at home and accompany Yutaro and the others..."

At this time, Yutaro ran over:

"Otousan... Take me to Daisetsuzan to fly a kite..."

"...."
