Chapter 1213

After waking up the next day, Naoki Nagayama was slightly lacking in energy.

Of course, this wasn't because his body was hollowed out, but because he used his brain too much.

Last night, he kept wanting to think of a great song for Akina, but his golden finger of memory was sometimes effective and sometimes not. Without a specific direction, style, or triggering key, he couldn't think of it... so he couldn't sleep very late...

He actually even had dark circles!

Sitting at the dining table, watching the rosy-faced Akina bending over to tie a small scarf for Xia Hua, her graceful figure was undoubtedly revealed, and her whole person seemed to be in a very happy mood...

His own insomnia all night seemed to be completely in vain. His wife had no idea that he was working hard for her great cause...

"Sure enough, I should think of some way to make Akina sad and cry, and then use this state of mind to sing 'Shipwreck', which would be simpler, right?!"

Such a thought suddenly appeared in his mind, and then it seemed very tempting... Akina looked cold and pitiful when she cried, making people want to protect her.

And if she sings "Shipwreck", she can almost copy the path of her previous life. Anyway, this time she doesn't have to give it to some scumbag!

Or... I'll sacrifice a little, and reluctantly go to flirt with the married woman Seiko Matsuda, or a beautiful girl like Chikako Aoyama?

Or have an ambiguous relationship with Chisato Moritaka, who has the title of "First Beautiful Legs" in the idol world?

To make Akina sad? Have the state of mind to sing "Shipwreck"?

And there is a legitimate reason for doing this, which can make him feel at ease—I am doing it for Akina's triple crown of the Record Awards!!!

"..."

Akina, who was feeding little Xia Hua complementary food, suddenly felt a chill behind her back... Her suspicious gaze met Naoki Nagayama's somewhat scattered eyes:

"Naoki-san... are you thinking of something bad?!"

"Eh..."

Are they too familiar between husband and wife... telepathy?!

Naoki Nagayama naturally shook his head firmly:

"I didn't! Why is Akina wronging people early in the morning?!"

"Honto?"

Akina's eyes narrowed slightly. They had been married for so long, and the couple knew each other well. Naoki Nagayama's appearance clearly had problems!

"Do you want me to take out my heart and show it to you?"

Naoki Nagayama now felt that he was definitely possessed by Stephen Chow, asking back in an exaggerated tone, but it just made Akina even more suspicious...

"Hmph hmph..."

Without evidence, Akina couldn't say much.

"Naoki-san, don't let me catch you doing bad things~ If I catch you... you know the consequences!"

As she spoke, she raised her head and showed off the biceps on her slender arms as a demonstration... In the process of holding her child every day, the muscular Akina had successfully made her arms more powerful!

"Tsk... let you have one hand... naive..."

His own muscles weren't practiced in vain, okay!

Taking the newspaper on the table and unfolding it, inadvertently covering his cheeks, Naoki Nagayama breathed a sigh of relief... This hurdle was passed!

Only after setting his heart at ease did he have the mood to look at the newspaper...

"Eh?? Hiromi Go is getting married?!"

The front-page headline of the entertainment newspaper was actually the wedding news of the first-generation top male idol Hiromi Go... Originally, Naoki Nagayama had no impression of male idols from the 70s, but another story about Hiromi Go made him remember it deeply.

Hiromi Go, who was on the downhill, and Seiko Matsuda, who was at her peak, had been in love for 4 years. They were already talking about marriage, but Seiko Matsuda suddenly dumped him, unilaterally held a press conference to announce it, and even issued a sad cry of "I want to be together in the next life"...

Then three months later, she flashed married Masaki Kanda!!!

Outsiders didn't know much about the emotional entanglement between the two, it was all speculation, but Seiko Matsuda's move indeed shocked the entertainment industry. During that period, Hiromi Go was mocked openly and secretly for a long time...

Akina was also attracted and looked at the newspaper together.

"Is it going to be broadcast live throughout?"

Akina was a bit surprised. Ever since the century wedding of Momoe Yamaguchi was broadcast live, every famous artist who got married seemed to have agreed to broadcast it live... Marriage almost became a planned program, losing its original sacredness.

However, the wedding of Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori was the confidential kind, which made Akina very happy.

"The bride is Yurie Futani..."

Naoki Nagayama was not familiar with Yurie Futani, but heard that she was a second-generation star. Her father, Eimei Futani, was a veteran actor of Nikkatsu Film, a long-term spokesperson for Nissan CEDRIC cars, and also the lead actor of the hit drama "Tokuso Saizensen", belonging to the big shots in the industry.

"So that's why it has to be broadcast live throughout..."

It should belong to a strong alliance in the industry... Hiromi Go was once a national male idol after all.

After putting down the newspaper, Naoki Nagayama sighed:

"Just don't know what kind of feelings Seiko Matsuda will have when she sees this wedding news... will she go to attend..."

This kind of industry wedding live broadcast will naturally send invitations to popular artists and industry insiders, which is equivalent to a high-exposure announcement, and everyone will give face~

Even if they don't go, they will let the agency send a gift, and Akina and Naoki Nagayama will definitely receive it.

However, Naoki Nagayama probably won't go... Akina probably won't either...

"Seiko-chan, probably won't go."

Akina said.

"The new song 'Strawberry Time' is on tour! She's so busy that her feet don't touch the ground..."

After Seiko Matsuda's comeback, she still followed the idol route, participating in announcements and offline tours, one of which was not missing, very busy.

The two were gossiping about the complex couples in the industry at the dining table, and little Xia Hua on the side was unhappy... Didn't she see that the fruit puree and other soft complementary food in her bowl were gone?!

"Mom... rice... rice..." The little one tapped the table board twice with a spoon.

"Ah... are you finished?"

Akina looked at her daughter with some surprise, walked over and touched the little one's body.

"Sure enough, children's appetite grows fast... she couldn't finish it before!"

Naoki Nagayama looked at little Xia Hua's flowery face, and then turned to see the pan-fried chicken breast with sauce on his own plate:

"Hua-chan should be able to eat more things now, right?"

"Naoki-san, what do you want to do?"

Akina looked over strangely... she seemed to feel that her husband had another bad idea.

Naoki Nagayama moved to little Xia Hua's side, cut a piece of chicken breast into soft small pieces with a fork, and then sent some to his daughter's mouth:

"Hua-chan, come... try this meat..."

Little Xia Hua had no resistance to her father's feeding, reached out and took it, opened her mouth and sent it into her mouth, and then... the seasoning that humans had accumulated for thousands of years made the little one, who had always been eating bland complementary food, feel like she had come into contact with a new world!

"Meat... meat..."

Seeing the look in her daughter's eyes that were about to shine, Akina didn't stop Naoki Nagayama, but still said:

"To feed adults' food, it's better to stew it softer first..."

"Hua-chan's teeth have already grown out, it doesn't matter~"

Naoki Nagayama fed his daughter bit by bit.

"In the future, she can gradually eat with us..."

Watching her daughter eat meat in big mouthfuls, Naoki Nagayama decided to hurry up and buy a small Polaroid to record the moment of her growth!

..,.....

Ota Ward's filming base.

Masaharu Fukuyama and Tomoyuki Nishimoto returned to the filming base after editing the previous episode, preparing to continue filming the remaining plot.

It was almost summer, and the weather was getting hot. On the set, Masaharu Fukuyama saw Chikako Aoyama dressed coolly.

The sexy camisole paired with hot pants, a large area of fair skin exposed on her hot body, plus a bright face... attracted everyone's attention on the set.

However, having been in the entertainment industry for a long time, Chikako Aoyama's heart had long since lost its past greenness, and she had been infected by many Western cultures and the influence of feminist thought, so she was not resistant to showing her figure and beauty~

In the words of an independent woman, it is "I am so young and so good-looking, of course I want to be as hot as I want"!

This is also a major attraction of "Long Vacation"!

"Director Nishimoto, Fukuyama-kun!"

Chikako Aoyama greeted the two with a smile and said in a somewhat coquettish tone.

"Waited for you for a long time~"

"Sumimasen, the road is a bit blocked."

Masaharu Fukuyama subconsciously apologized first, and then suddenly discovered that he clearly hadn't eaten! And he had come a little early!

How could he have to apologize?!

Masaharu Fukuyama had been handsome since he was a child and had experienced a lot of girls' active enthusiasm, so he had some resistance to female beauty.

Yabai! I was PUAed!

Chikako Aoyama didn't complain too much, and walked to the side of the two with a giggle:

"It's a new week, we must all be full of energy!"

"Hahaha~"

Tomoyuki Nishimoto was full of worthless smiles.

"Chikako-chan is right! Fukuyama-kun, we must work hard today too!"

"Ah..."

Masaharu Fukuyama responded helplessly. It seemed that this crew had become Chikako Aoyama's world.

"Hai~~"

After some pleasantries, the new episode of "Long Vacation" officially began filming.

After the female lead Minami and the male lead Sena ended their cohabitation, Sena lost confidence in his piano career due to a series of events and decided to give up playing the piano.

But Minami wanted to encourage Sena to continue working hard again, so she came to the previous apartment again and played the song he taught before in front of Sena...

Sena, who was downstairs, heard the piano sound in the apartment, ran up unexpectedly and anxiously, pushed the door open, and saw Minami sitting in front of the piano...

"You're back?"

Minami pretended to say casually.

"I borrowed the piano~"

"This song, I want you to listen to it..."

As she said that, she began to play...

The familiar melody entered his ears, it was the piano piece Sena taught her a few days ago!

Within a few days, from not knowing the sheet music at all to not knowing how to press the keys, to being able to play a song completely, as a piano performer, he naturally knew the hardship involved.

She must have been practicing non-stop these past few days, until her fingers cramped and she didn't stop... He knew Minami was using this to persuade him to continue his piano career.

Masaharu Fukuyama, who played the male lead, showed a moved expression at this time and shed tears.

"Why?"

Masaharu Fukuyama suppressed the tears in his eyes and asked Minami in front of the piano.

"Why do this?"

"You said there are no miracles, right?"

Chikako Aoyama, who played the female lead, said very calmly.

"I have never been interested in playing the piano since I was a child, but after a few days of practice, I reached this level. Can't this be considered a miracle?"

"Minami..."

"..."

"You can't give up the piano!" Chikako Aoyama's expression carried a hint of pleading. "Absolutely cannot give up the piano!"

Minami's words greatly moved Sena, and he regained his confidence in playing the piano...

"Cut!"

Tomoyuki Nishimoto shouted loudly and then called the two over...

"Chikako-chan's tone is quite good... but Fukuyama-kun is a bit off..."

Masaharu Fukuyama's face was a bit worried:

"Director, where did I not act well? The expression or the lines..."

"Neither!" Tomoyuki Nishimoto dragged his chin. "It's the crying scene! The crying scene!"

"?"

Tomoyuki Nishimoto glanced at Masaharu Fukuyama and shook his head:

"You guys generally think that crying scenes are a woman's patent, right? Actually, when a man's crying scene is played well, it is the most moving!"

"You know, when a handsome man cries, it will make female audiences collectively have an intracranial carnival!"

"..." Chikako Aoyama expressed disagreement, but it was not adopted.

And Tomoyuki Nishimoto said:

"Actually, it's not that Fukuyama-kun's emotions aren't in place... but your own crying scene... doesn't look good!"

"Ha?"

"Actually, men and women really cry the same way. There is an idiom called 'tears and snot flowing together', which is snot and tears coming down together... But although this kind of crying scene is realistic, it doesn't look good!"

"We are filming an idol drama! Even if it's crying... the female lead is a fairy shedding tears... the male lead must also be a god moving with emotion... the tears cannot flow down directly, they must gather into large teardrops, fall down all at once, and be able to shatter when they hit the floor..."

"Hmm..."

Masaharu Fukuyama indicated that this was a bit high-end, and he, a young actor, didn't understand it.

"Haha, it's a bit difficult for young actors to grasp crying scenes." Tomoyuki Nishimoto wasn't in a hurry. "But speaking of this, Naoki-san taught me a method before!"

Speaking of this, Tomoyuki Nishimoto was even a bit excited, and then he told Masaharu Fukuyama how to shed good-looking tears...

What is needed is to open the eye sockets wide, fill them with tears, then lower the head slightly and close the eyes, let the teardrops fall directly, and at most slide slightly across the cheeks...

Masaharu Fukuyama was stunned as he listened... Being an actor is really hard!

The perspective returns to Ikebukuro, Tokyo, the Shuyou building.

After Naoki Nagayama arrived at the company, he plunged into the editing room and continued the editing work of "Departures".

And at this time, Shuichi Ido, who was handling matters at the temporary headquarters of the Tokyo Film Industry Association on the fourth floor, was a bit distressed. He held the microphone and looked unbelievable:

"Still need to add Diet members to the hearing for questioning, why is this?"

"Isn't it enough to have members of the deliberation committee?"

"Oh... there are different opinions in the House of Representatives? So we need to add more people?"

"..."

After hanging up the phone, Shuichi Ido was full of helplessness.

The hearing for the "Proposal" held in July, the personnel had already been arranged, but suddenly new Diet members were added... This kind of violation of convention, you know there is a problem just by hearing it!

"Is the ruling party making a move?"

"But our proposal was submitted through the Ministry of Education, it was agreed by the Cabinet... Could it be that there is a disagreement within the factions of the ruling party?!"

Shuichi Ido's "Proposal for Labor Protection for Film Industry Practitioners" was submitted by the Minister of Education, which is equivalent to the Cabinet having gone through it once, so the ruling Prime Minister faction shouldn't oppose it.

"..." "No, I have to find someone to ask clearly!"
