Chapter 147: No matter what, you must Smile~

Not long after putting down the phone, the phone in the living room rang.

"Moshi moshi, this is Shanyingyuan~"

"Naoki-san, good evening~" A sweet voice with a unique characteristic came from the other side of the phone. It was Akina Nakamori!

"It's Akina-san~" Naoki Nagayama also replied with surprise. "Didn't you say you were in closed-door training? How can you still make phone calls?"

"Hahaha, how could you have such an idea? Classes are not like being in prison~" Akina Nakamori was amused. "It's just in a place like a private tutor, teaching some things like singing, posture, etiquette, etc."

It feels the same as our Ito Junko... Is there nothing special about big agencies?

"Eh? Didn't you learn any special interesting skills?"

Little Akina seemed to think about it: "If you want to talk about special skills... Ah, yes!"

"Nani nani?"

"That is—smile! Smile~"

Listening to little Akina's Japanese-accented English, Naoki Nagayama also laughed: "Hahaha, smile? What kind of skill is that?"

"Don't underestimate it, okay~" Akina said in a serious tone. "As an artist, you must always maintain the most dignified and sweet appearance. During the performance, no matter what the situation, you must smile!"

"Akina-san, those words just now were said by the training teacher, right!" Naoki Nagayama instinctively felt that little Akina couldn't say such profound words.

"Urusai! Anyway, you just have to keep smiling!" Little Akina seemed to be poked in the gas valve and said noisily.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, smile~ Keep smiling, and good luck will come naturally~"

"Just saying some strange things~" Little Akina didn't think much about it. "By the way, Naoki-san, I called today to talk about something serious."

"Serious matter?" Hearing this, Naoki Nagayama also sat up straight. "Then please say it, I'm all ears~"

"Naoki-san, don't mess around~" Akina continued, "The staff at Warner Pioneer hopes to talk to you about the copyright purchase of 'Second

Love'."

"Ah, is that so~ That's no problem~" He thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be just a song.

"Hai, then does Naoki-san have time tomorrow? My colleagues at the company also hope to talk in person."

Tomorrow~ He had an appointment with someone in the morning~

"I have something to do in the morning tomorrow, but I have time in the afternoon~"

"Hai! Then let's set it in the afternoon~ I'll ask about the time~ I'll call you later~" Little Akina hung up the phone in a hurry to confirm the specific time.

"Uh..." Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Naoki Nagayama was a little speechless. Sure enough, she is still a child~

Not long after, Akina called to confirm the time for tomorrow afternoon.

Just right, eat a big meal at noon tomorrow, and eat a big meal in the evening, how happy~

Eitaro at his feet was struggling with a teething stick.

Naoki Nagayama remembered that there was a teething stick for puppies in the big bag of things he bought before, so he took one out.

"Eitaro, I'm going out for a big meal tomorrow, what will you do?"

Taking him along was of course unrealistic, after all, it was a high-end restaurant, and he was talking about serious matters~

The housekeeper of Shanyingyuan comes to clean once a week, and she just cleaned it two days ago, so he couldn't let her help feed him.

Should he come back at noon?

Eitaro didn't feel the master's trouble at all, biting the teething stick and making a huffing sound from time to time.

The night passed without words, and the weather the next day was still sunny, but the temperature kept hovering in the single digits.

As usual, he let Eitaro solve his problems under the cherry tree. In the past two days, he had dug a small pit and laid a layer of plant ash. There was also a jar specifically for plant ash on the corridor next to it. Every time the little fellow finished, he had to sprinkle a handful.

Since he officially raised him, the preparation work for the poop scooper still had to be done well.

The little fellow's day was just eating, drinking, and playing. Naoki Nagayama was also really envious, unlike himself who had to go out to work today.

"Eitaro, the heavy responsibility of watching the house is still handed over to you!"

After feeding the little fellow and himself, Naoki Nagayama prepared to go out. First, he had to go to the studio to make a copy of the script.

Yin Tangxiu is always in the studio. Does he live nearby? He never asked. Anyway, when looking for him, looking for the studio is definitely right.

"Naoki-san, you are very motivated these two days!" Yin Tangxiu was very surprised to see Naoki Nagayama coming so early. In the past, he had to call him from home to get him out.

Naoki Nagayama didn't respond to his teasing:

"Xiu-san, give me a copy of the script. I know an actress who has a schedule right now and wants to see if she can join in."

"Oh? An actress Naoki-san knows?" Yin Tangxiu became curious. The guy who usually looked honest had actually reached into the entertainment industry.

"Who is it? Do I know her?"

"Her name is Yuko Tanaka, the one who appeared in 'Hokusai Manga' recently. Does Xiu-san have an impression?" Naoki Nagayama introduced casually.

"Oh? The heroine of 'Hokusai Manga'? I heard she is a strong competitor for the 5th Japan Academy Film Prize!" Yin Tangxiu was really surprised this time. "Naoki-san, you are capable!"

"I always feel you are thinking about something rude!" Naoki Nagayama got the script. "It's just a relationship of meeting once. Today is to let people look at the script. Whether she comes or not is not certain."

Yin Tangxiu said with a smile on his face: "Naoki-san, don't worry, I have full confidence in you... Oh, no, I have confidence in your script!"

Continuing to chat with Yin Tangxiu about the casting situation, time quickly reached 10 o'clock.

The appointment with Yuko Tanaka was at 11 o'clock. It was time to set off.

"Ganbatte, Naoki-san, it's all up to you!"

Yin Tangxiu cheered him on from behind, while Naoki Nagayama had black lines on his head.

"This guy Yin Tangxiu..."

The hotel where they made the appointment was located in Minato-ku, a Western restaurant on the second floor. The reserved seat could see the open river view outside.

Naoki Nagayama naturally arrived first, so he let the waiter wake up the red wine first.

In the era without mobile phones, it is very normal to prepare some newspapers and magazines in the restaurant.

But which Western restaurant would prepare a magazine like "Shukan Bunshun"?

Naoki Nagayama was very disdainful in his heart, and then decided to criticize it well.

"Damn, this idol actually..."

Just when he was absorbed in reading, a call from the side woke him up: "Naoki-san?"

Naoki Nagayama put down the magazine and looked back. The person he was waiting for had arrived.

A beauty in a light blue trench coat was next to him. She didn't have the popular Seiko hairstyle of the time, but long, slightly curly hair, wearing a white beret, and a bright orange scarf covering half of her face~

Only a pair of memorable eyes were exposed, and she was looking at the magazine in Naoki Nagayama's hand curiously at this time.

Naoki Nagayama silently put the magazine aside, and then pretended that nothing had happened.

"Yuko-san, you're here~" ===== CHAPTER 148 =====
