Chapter 1368: Going to Hollywood! Oscars, here I come!!

The wind and rain outside couldn't blow into Sanyingyuan~

The cherry blossoms in the courtyard were in full bloom, petals drifting down, beautiful to behold, gradually accumulating a shallow layer on the ground.

However, there was no one enjoying them on the eaves corridor, the living room was empty, and only occasionally did the barking of Eitaro come from the bedroom on the second floor...

In the bedroom, little Xia Hua was sitting on the bed, watching her mom and dad packing a large suitcase.

"Los Angeles should only need one layer of clothes at this time!"

Although she still had a big belly, Akina was still focused on packing for her husband,

"But if you are attending formal activities, you need at least two formal suits..."

After packing two shirts into the suitcase, Akina pulled out a floral shirt...

"How about this one? It's very flashy... suitable for wearing when going out to relax..."

"......"

Nagayama Naoki looked at this floral shirt brought back from Hawaii and couldn't help but laugh:

"Is this for wearing to the beach?"

"Los Angeles has beaches too!"

Akina said, and then her tone somehow started to get jealous,

"And there are beach beauties with long legs wearing bikinis..."

"......"

This trip, Nagayama Naoki was going to attend the Oscar awards; with his looks, status, and wealth, he would definitely encounter many top-tier beauties throwing themselves at him... Plus, due to being in the late stage of pregnancy, the two hadn't been close for a long time...

Throwing the floral shirt aside, Nagayama Naoki hurriedly expressed his loyalty:

"What is Akina thinking! I have serious business this time! I don't have the leisure to think about anything else!"

Akina just wanted to continue saying something, but heard the angry sound from little Xia Hua beside her.

Turning her head to look, the floral shirt Nagayama Naoki just threw happened to land on the little one's head!

At this time, little Xia Hua was using her two little hands to pull hard, but because she was too small, her whole head was still covered...

"Aiya, ya... Hua-chan~"

Nagayama Naoki reached out to take the shirt off, and saw the little one's thin brows furrowed,

"Sumimasen, I didn't notice you just now..."

"Humph!"

The little thing hadn't learned anything else, but she seemed to have learned her mother's stubbornness completely; at this time, she rolled her eyes and ignored her old man.

So Nagayama Naoki could only sit over and hold the little one in his arms, sincerely apologizing, and only then was she barely coaxed...

"Hua-chan~"

Nagayama Naoki saw little Xia Hua was very curious about the suitcase, so he explained,

"This is luggage to take out; in two days, Dad will be on a business trip for half a month... The family depends on you!"

"?"

Little Xia Hua clearly didn't understand the meaning of a business trip,

"Business trip?"

"It means leaving home for a long time..."

"Oh~"

She probably thought it was like going to work in the morning and coming back in the evening... So she twisted her body onto the floor and started to grab Eitaro who was lying down~

Looking at Eitaro's face, which was disgusted but didn't dare to move around, Nagayama Naoki shook his head:

"Akina... Mother-in-law and my mother should arrive tomorrow or the day after... Please ask them to accompany you more during this time..."

"...."

Hearing this, Akina was slightly helpless,

"This is my second time, actually there's no need to make such a big fuss! It's only half a month, there are still Moli-san and the others at home to help,"

"But I'm worried!"

Nagayama Naoki reached out to embrace his wife, gently stroking her protruding belly,

"Just take it as setting my heart at ease... Take good care of yourself."

"Hmm~~"

Amidst the soft conversation and tidying up, the night slowly descended... The light filtering out from the windows seemed to carry a warmth, making one feel cozy...

The evening breeze in the courtyard gently brushed over the branches and leaves, bringing out a rustling sound~

The next day, the popularity of *Jurassic Park*'s release continued to explode, and with more and more people who had watched the movie coming out to speak, the evaluation of this movie also rose all the way.

Unknowingly, the dinosaur toys in the toy stores were sold out, the *Jurassic Park* novel in the bookstores started to be out of stock, and the dinosaur culture museum was also overcrowded...

Undoubtedly, *Jurassic Park* also brought a wave of dinosaur fever!

When the movie sales continued to climb, Nagayama Naoki naturally had to come to the company to keep an eye on the movie situation in real-time, deal with emergencies, and arrange tasks after he left!

Ah, there was one more important thing; he had to take the copy of *Jurassic Park* and bring it to Hollywood!

"Naoki-san..."

On the top floor of the Tree Friend building, Nagayama Naoki was on the phone; it was Sakata Naoya from Jurassic Island,

"More and more people are sneaking onto the island!"

"This morning the foreman caught 5 more... all teenagers of seventeen or eighteen..."

"....."

Listening to Sakata Naoya's account, Nagayama Naoki could only helplessly touch his forehead.

Under the influence of *Jurassic Park*'s fanaticism, this group of energetic and daring young people could indeed do anything!

"Sakata-san, give them a verbal warning, and then let them go..."

"By the way, there are already resident police on the island, right?"

"Hai!"

Sakata Naoya answered,

"Since we talked about it before, the Ehime Prefectural Police Station has set up a temporary patrol booth on the island."

"They also said that according to the scale of the island, after it officially opens, they will set up a resident police box!"

"That's very good, take those people to the police side to register..."

Nagayama Naoki naturally wouldn't have any opinion on this kind of thing; having a clear police presence could avoid many things... You have to know that even though the island was full of Tree Friend construction workers, there had been many quarrels or fights and other security incidents!

"Hai!"

After finishing these things, Sakata Naoya asked again,

"Naoki-san, when is Jurassic Park expected to open? More and more people are coming to inquire recently..."

"Officially open..."

Nagayama Naoki pondered for a while,

"At least wait until I come back from America... Before opening, it still needs to be well-planned..."

"I understand..."

After chatting a little more about the completion of the island project, Nagayama Naoki hung up the phone.

And just at this time, Yoshimura Otomo walked in.

"Ha, the movie is so popular, why is Naoki-san still frowning?"

"Sigh... too popular will always bring good and bad influences..."

Nagayama Naoki sighed; he went to the publicity department early in the morning to understand information from all aspects.

"Wild humans have appeared on Jurassic Island... and in the entertainment industry, voices of condemnation have also appeared..."

Yoshimura Otomo wasn't curious about the wild humans appearing on the island, but on the other hand:

"Oh? There's actually condemnation?"

"Yeah..."

Nagayama Naoki continued helplessly,

"Because it's too popular, the screenings and publicity of various cinema chains and independent cinemas are heavily tilted towards *Jurassic Park*... Some cinemas even only show one movie all day..."

"This makes other production companies and directors dissatisfied!"

This is news from the industry; I guess in a few days, words like "monopolizing resources," "not giving other movie companies a way to live," and "unfair competition" will spread everywhere!

If they can't defeat Nagayama Naoki in terms of movie quality, they have to defeat him in terms of character!

"Hahaha~"

Yoshimura Otomo laughed,

"Competing by ability, their movies can't compare to others, and the cinemas choose us... What's there to say?!"

"Naoki-san doesn't need to worry, I'll arrange for the media to control this public opinion! It's very easy!"

"......."

Nagayama Naoki supported his chin with one hand and tapped his fingers on the desk with the other, with some helplessness,

"I also know that suppressing public opinion is very simple... But at this stage, it's very troublesome... I really need the support of the Japanese industry..."

Currently, it is the time for him to go to America to sprint for the Oscar awards; although he will lobby there and have his own connections to support him, the support of the Japanese film industry behind him is also very important!

You have to know that even if a movie company is big, it's not as big as a country's film industry!

If they fall out with the inside of the film circle at this time, many people who originally supported him because he is also a Japanese director might change their minds~

"In the end, you have to make as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible!"

Nagayama Naoki said to Yoshimura Otomo,

"Otomo-san, please contact the major cinema chains in the name of the Tree Friend Group and leave some screenings for other movies!"

"We can't eat a big meal while others can't even drink soup..."

Listening to Nagayama Naoki's words, the smile on Yoshimura Otomo's face gradually turned into approval.

If it were himself, having such achievements as Nagayama Naoki at the age of twenty-five or twenty-six, he would definitely be crazy; where would he still consider how others are doing...

This is the performance of knowing restraint and having a long-term vision!

"Good, I will contact the people from each cinema chain..."

Yoshimura Otomo nodded,

"And I will spread Naoki-san's high righteousness!"

"Haha... then I'll leave it to you!"

Nagayama Naoki naturally didn't want to do good deeds without leaving a name; he was originally at a time when he needed the support of the Japanese film circle!

"Has the departure time been set?"

After finishing this matter, Yoshimura Otomo continued to ask,

"Is there anything else to arrange?!"

"The movie's publicity plan is already there, and the family is also arranged... Mother-in-law and mother should arrive tonight!"

Nagayama Naoki pondered for a while and said,

"Ready to depart at any time!"

"Is this time taking your private plane?"

"Haha, yeah... flying directly across the Pacific this time!!"

Since his own private plane was bought, it had only flown within Japan; this time it was finally going to fly abroad! As for procedures and the like, naturally, Japan Airlines would handle them...

"Then I wish you a smooth journey!"

Yoshimura Otomo patted Nagayama Naoki on the shoulder and said with a smile,

"By the way, bring the Oscar back!"

"Haha, borrow your auspicious words!"

After returning to Sanyingyuan in the afternoon, he indeed saw new figures.

In the living room, little Xia Hua was being held in Nagayama Caizi's arms and being affectionate; on the other side of the sofa, Zhongsen Qianhuizi was holding Akina's arm and chatting happily.

"Mother, Mother-in-law... you are here!"

Nagayama Naoki greeted the two mothers,

"Troubling you again!"

"What trouble..."

Nagayama Caizi walked over holding the little one,

"Look how cute Hua-chan is... not troublesome at all!!"

Little Xia Hua, who was in her grandmother's arms, saw Nagayama Naoki, and a happy smile appeared on her face:

"Dad~~"

"Good... Hua-chan, have you called Grandma?"

"Hmm... Grandma..."

Little Xia Hua turned her head and called Nagayama Caizi again~

Looking at the little girl carved out of pink jade, Nagayama Caizi's love for her overflowed in words... The two children of the eldest in the family were both boys, and they were very naughty after growing up a little; how could they be as well-behaved and cute as little Xia Hua!

After chatting with Mother Caizi for a while, Nagayama Naoki talked with Zhongsen Qianhuizi again...

"Mother-in-law's health?"

"It's been good for a long time... Now I'm idle all day, and I've gained weight!"

Zhongsen Qianhuizi was a person who couldn't stay idle, but because of the surgery before, Akina wouldn't let her go out to work anymore... Anyway, the children of the Zhongsen family were all adults and independent now, and the subsidy she gave every month was enough for Qianhuizi to live leisurely.

So Qianhuizi was actually rounder than before...

"Troubling you again this time..."

"Akina is my daughter!" Zhongsen Qianhuizi pretended to be angry, "What's there to be polite about! Naoki, you are getting more and more distant!"

"Still have to thank you..."

Nagayama Naoki smiled and replied,

"This is a feeling from the heart!"

"Ha~"

Watching the two pushing back and forth, Akina hurriedly opened her mouth:

"Two mothers, dinner is ready... Naoki-san just came back and must be hungry... Let's go eat first..."

This temporarily ended the conversation~

After arriving at the dining room, the dining table at Sanyingyuan was already full of a sumptuous dinner, all the handiwork of the resident nannies, Zhongchuan Xingxia and Yezhong Moli.

"Catering and such, no need for the two mothers to do it... It's all customized by Moli-san according to the nutritional recipe for pregnancy..."

While eating, Nagayama Naoki also introduced it by the way,

"I also instructed the housekeeper at home, and can drive Akina to the hospital at any time..."

"If you want to go out, you can also call the driver at any time..."

"In short, the two mainly just help take care of Akina and Hua-chan..."

"....."

Everything was already arranged, nothing needed to be done, just accompany the pregnant Akina and take care of little Xia Hua...

For Zhongsen Qianhuizi and Nagayama Caizi, coming to Sanyingyuan to look after Akina and Hua-chan was simply equivalent to a vacation!

This made the two old people sigh... What kind of days did they live before...

"Naoki... when are you departing?"

Mother Caizi asked,

"When are you coming back?"

"I'm preparing to leave early tomorrow morning... I guess I won't be back until the end of the month..."

"Then the luggage?"

Akina opened her mouth at this time:

"The luggage was ready yesterday!"

"Is it that urgent?"

"There are still things in Hollywood..."

Mainly because there wasn't much time left for lobbying! It takes more than ten hours to fly from Tokyo!

The table of people talked for a while about Nagayama Naoki's departure, and Nagayama Naoki also promised to bring souvenir gifts for both mothers...

As for little Xia Hua at the same table, she was just focused on eating, occasionally looking up at the people at the table, but she couldn't understand what they were saying...

In the early morning, Nagayama Naoki had already quietly gotten up.

Looking at Akina who was still sleeping, Nagayama Naoki didn't mean to wake her up; turning his head, he saw the little one sleeping crookedly, couldn't help but straighten her, and tucked the quilt... Only then did he leave the bedroom lightly, without disturbing anyone.

But Eitaro at the door heard the master's movement; seeing Nagayama Naoki come out, his thick tail started to wag...

"Shh..."

Nagayama Naoki put his finger in front of his mouth and led the dog towards downstairs.

Nanny Zhongchuan Xingxia had already gotten up early and made breakfast, letting Nagayama Naoki have a full meal...

Housekeeper Afu had also gotten up and moved the luggage to the Toyota Century that had already been started, with driver Tian Tian Zhian in front...

Before getting in the car, Nagayama Naoki vigorously stroked the dog's head:

"Eitaro, while I'm away, take good care of the house, you know!"

"Miaotailang is always mysterious; this family depends on you!"

"Ying ying ying~~"

The dog naturally nodded and shook his head to agree~

Nagayama Naoki got in the car, and the car slowly drove out of Sanyingyuan, heading towards Narita International Airport in the hazy early morning.

When the sky was bright, a white Gulfstream jet slowly rose from Narita Airport and disappeared into the white clouds... ===== CHAPTER 1369 =====
