Chapter 187: Isn't it normal to be moved when seeing a beauty?
The mailbox of Yama Sakura-in, except for newspapers and bills, generally won't receive other things.
Even the delivery boy won't come to this somewhat remote place.
However, Naoki Nagayama, who came back from morning running with Eitaro this morning, found other letters in the mailbox.
Returning to the house, he filled the dog food for the little guy, and saw him burying his head and eating.
Naoki Nagayama put the newspaper on the coffee table, opened the envelope, and inside was a wedding invitation. The elegant light purple paper indicated the time the wedding started was March 27th, and the location was the Tokyo Prince Hotel mentioned before.
Ah, Genta Nakai and Suzumi Hoshino, these two guys are getting married at the end of the month. At a young age, they are going to enter the siege of marriage~
The gift has long been prepared, and it will be almost the same if you send some gift money then.
Wait, how much should the gift money be in Showa Tokyo? It seems it is the first time to attend someone else's wedding.
Just thinking about who to ask, Eitaro had already finished the dog food, holding the food basin and sitting in front of Naoki Nagayama, his tail wagging like a windmill.
"Didn't eat enough?" Put two more molar sticks into the food basin. "That's all there is, wait until night then!"
It seems that wanting to reduce the amount of food at once is still a bit difficult.
Taking a bath after running in the morning, the whole day is very refreshing.
Naoki Nagayama took Eitaro to the pet shop he often went to for a full check-up. After all, the little thing that is already overweight, I don't know if there will be other problems.
"This puppy is very healthy." After the pet doctor wearing a white coat checked, he didn't find any problems.
"Weight is a bit overweight, but for such a puppy, it is not a big problem. Control the diet well, and it will be consumed in a week or two."
"Hai, thank you doctor." Naoki Nagayama said to Eitaro, who was shrinking in his arms. "Eitaro, you thank the doctor too, didn't draw blood, what are you afraid of."
"Hahaha, forget it, forget it, used to it." The pet doctor smiled and waved his hand.
Naoki Nagayama bought some larger molar sticks for the little guy, and then added a few toys, and then brought him back to Yama Sakura-in.
In the afternoon, Naoki Nagayama went to the photo studio he entrusted to wash photos before. It has been a long time, and the photos to the United States should have all been washed out.
A thick stack of photos recorded every bit of Naoki Nagayama's trip to the United States, from natural parks with beautiful scenery to museums with strong artistic atmosphere, from graffiti works on the streets to the uninhibited performances of underground bands, from the cold scenery of New York to the sunny beach of Los Angeles.
There are also characters of different sizes and expressions, Basquiat, Madonna, Akina Nakamori, Robert... and other strangers who only met once.
Looking at these photos, it is like reviewing the journey again.
Naoki Nagayama bought 3 art photo albums at the photo studio, planning to put photos of different contents together. At least the individual photos of Basquiat and Madonna can be mailed to them, and the photos taken with Akina can also be given to her.
After returning to Yama Sakura-in, Naoki Nagayama started the manual class mode. First, pick out the photos taken with Basquiat and Madonna in New York, select some photos of the two of them and the three of them together, and some photos taken at mudd
club, all arranged in a black photo album.
Although the painting is not good, this kind of puzzle brain hole is not lost at all. At least the style of more than 30 years ahead makes this photo album full of independent feeling. On the title page, he wrote: "
to
my
friends~", and then drew three funny stick figures on the tail page, the signature is still: "suprise!! mouther
fu*ker!!"
Looking at this black photo album, Naoki Nagayama is very satisfied: "This can also be considered an artwork~"
Then he settled his mind to arrange the light blue photo album, which is for little Akina. The photos inside are photos of the movie city, beach, and amusement park. Most of them are individual photos, and there are also group photos.
This photo album is much more serious, and the photos themselves have good light. This fat Akina with baby fat at this time also smiles very sweetly. She also old-fashionedly made a V sign in the group photo at the amusement park. On the title page of the photo album, he wrote Los Angeles trip, and didn't write the signature.
One two is not three, when arranging his own white photo album, he felt much more casual. Roughly selected photos according to time, and then how simple it is, it doesn't matter if the photos are crooked. The whole thing actually feels pretty good, and there is a relaxed and casual style.
The address of little Akina's apartment is known, but the two in the United States can only be considered a meeting, so of course, I don't know where the address is.
After thinking for a while, Naoki Nagayama decided to mail it directly to the bar where Madonna was stationed. Basquiat also seemed to be a regular there, and it didn't matter if he entered and exited the bar counter at will.
The whole afternoon was busy with this matter. After mailing the things, I felt that I had completed an amazing job.
"Eitaro, go, eat a big meal at night!" Originally planned to take the little guy to eat, but it seemed that the restaurant outside didn't sell dog food.
"Oh, right, Eitaro, you can't go out to eat... then wait for me to bring delicious food back!"
Eitaro innocently condemned the owner with his eyes, but Naoki Nagayama threw the little guy at home without hesitation and went to eat French food alone in a high-end restaurant~
At the same time, Otomo Yoshimura was eating with Toru Nakano of Toei.
No matter how he edited it in private, Toei's etiquette on the surface was naturally very perfect.
The place invited was high-end kaiseki cuisine, and Toru Nakano, who was responsible for receiving Otomo Yoshimura, was also a person who was good at everything. He was very familiar with it. He kept chatting about the world at the dinner table, just didn't talk about the smear of public opinion, just chanting in his mouth: "Want to make a friend with Otomo-san!"
And Otomo Yoshimura, after listening to Naoki Nagayama's suggestion, also opened his mind. Whatever the opposite side chatted, he chatted, and whatever the opposite side chatted, he chatted. For a time, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
"This bald guy is quite difficult to deal with. Several quiet probes were avoided."
Toru Nakano thought while pouring wine. "Actually, like the department head, he didn't reveal any flaws at all when negotiating. He is really an old fox."
And Otomo Yoshimura poured a glass of wine into his stomach, breathed a long sigh of relief, and then clamped a piece of fish with wasabi: "The wine here is really good, the fish is also very tender, and this Toru Nakano in front of me speaks very well..."
After several rounds, if this continues, he will really get drunk. Toru Nakano decided to give up the obscure probe and express his intention directly: "Otomo-san, the recent public opinion reports about "The Gas Station Robbery Incident" were done by your side, right?"
"Eh? How is it possible, how could we smear our own movie?" Otomo Yoshimura looked at Toru Nakano. This guy finally wanted to open the door and see the mountain. Then he added a sentence with a contemptuous tone. "It must be instigated by some small person who can't see others well."
Toru Nakano's face stiffened. This kind of pointing at the mulberry and scolding the locust tree has not been heard by Toei for a long time, but he had to force a smile and return:
"Hahaha, this is all a misunderstanding. It is an employee under our hands, because of dissatisfaction with the social phenomenon of robbery, he brought his emotions to work..."
Japan has no temporary workers. Such a reluctant statement is the explanation that Toru Nakano can barely give.
Otomo Yoshimura pretended to be very surprised: "Actually there is such a thing? This... you have to care about the employee's mood well. If you don't care about your subordinates, it makes us very troubled... (meaning: your fault, so how should you compensate?)"
Toru Nakano obviously heard the implication and cursed an old fox in his heart.
"Sorry for causing trouble to Tree Friend Pictures!" Toru Nakano bowed. "I don't know what to use to express our apologies! (implication: mention the conditions!)"
"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay. Even if you make a mistake, as long as Nakano-san expresses his apologies sincerely, then what can't be forgiven? (mention the compensation yourself!)"
Kuso! Toru Nakano had to force a smile and discuss compensation conditions with Otomo Yoshimura...
Toei, in addition to movies, has countless resources in other places such as channels, TV stations, record production, and even real estate, etc. However, this is of course not something he, a small department head assistant, can decide.
He could only make some suggestions in terms of program resources, movie promotion channels, and contacts. After all, this is the area he can contact and can replace Planning and Sales Department Head Toshitaka Yamamura to give some promises.
After more than ten minutes,
"Come, Nakano-san, have another glass!"
In the end, Otomo Yoshimura naturally happily accepted a pile of conditions.
And Toru Nakano drank a glass of sake with a bitter smile on the side.
Because he had to go on "Night Hit" later, and it happened to be broadcast today, Naoki Nagayama prepared to take a careful look at this program at night to see if it had changed from a year ago.
By the way, consider if the host really asks strange questions, such as who is Naoki-san's true love, how should he answer.
But there shouldn't be any host who would ask like this, right? Not afraid of being beaten?
Sitting on the sofa with the puppy that had been bathed, putting the little yellow duck beside him, letting him bite it with a squeak, looking at this tooth, the little yellow duck shouldn't be able to persist for a year.
The "Night Hit" on TV has already started. Under the conditions of no special effects and no filters in the 80s, the stage setting is very beautiful, which makes people have to admire the ability of the prop group.
The guest invited this week is a male singer I don't know. The dark skin even looks like an ordinary worker doing physical work, and the song he sings doesn't suit Naoki Nagayama's taste, but looking at the surrounding guests applauding very hard, maybe it just fits the taste of the Showa era.
Before singing, the host naturally introduced some situations of the singer, and even called the boss of the livehouse that the singer had cooperated with before he debuted, which made the singer a little surprised.
If you say so, even the performer himself doesn't know what will happen? It shouldn't be, at least Junko Ito must know that Naoki Nagayama will go on stage, right? Then this surprise is acted out? The acting is too powerful...
Naoki Nagayama watched and sighed, at least he couldn't see any flaws in the surprised expression.
At the same time, thinking that if the program group deliberately concealed some information, then maybe when Junko Ito goes on stage, besides himself, there will be other unexpected people.
After thinking about it, Naoki Nagayama finally decided to play it by ear when the time comes.
With the end of the program, Naoki Nagayama originally planned to go to bed directly and then read a little "One Hundred Years of Solitude" to fall asleep, but the program preview of the TV station showed that the next program was actually "Tales of the Unusual," which immediately attracted Naoki Nagayama's attention.
Actually came out again? Is it a rebroadcast?
In fact, last year's "Tales of the Unusual" had a good effect, so Fuji TV stepped up the production of the second season's finished film and moved the broadcast time from the late-night file forward a lot, following the golden time.
With strange curiosity, after waiting for a while for the advertisement, he finally waited for the second season of "Tales of the Unusual."
The setting level of the TV series produced by the TV station's production bureau is indeed higher than that of a small company. The opening is very atmospheric and mysterious, the filmed picture is also very clear, the lens language is also very mature, and the actors, if not mistaken, are also very, very famous TV stars...
But in terms of the story plot... how to say, it is also good, but compared with the first season, I feel the gap.
After all, "Beauty Can," "air
doctor," etc., are all selected masterpieces, pulling the first season's level to the highest level.
"So-so~"
After watching an episode, Naoki Nagayama sighed. There is no such wonderful, heart-jumping turn, it feels like just a strange story.
It seems that the screenwriter this time will have a lot of pressure!
After watching, he turned off the TV. Just when he was about to take a bath and sleep,
The phone in the living room rang suddenly, startling Eitaro on the sofa, and the little yellow duck in his mouth fell to the ground.
Naoki Nagayama was also startled. This is really "Ring," and he just watched a slightly supernatural story.
And this is not the first time he was startled by the phone. Only at this time can he understand why some people don't like phones very much.
"If you come a few more times, you can really shoot Ring!"
Glanced at the clock on the wall, it was a little past 10:30 at night, fortunately not 12 o'clock.
"Who would call at this time..." Naoki Nagayama muttered and walked over, feeling a little resentful, but still answered the phone.
"Moshi moshi, this is Yama Sakura-in."
"Good evening, Naoki-san~" The voice of his sister came from the other side of the receiver. Then there was no way.
"Tsuruko? Calling so late, did something happen?" Naoki Nagayama thought something suddenly happened at home.
"No, no, nothing happened!" Tsuruko also discovered her mistake, and then quickly explained the situation. "Actually, calling you is to ask, when you come in April, can you invite Miho-chan to play together..."
"Ah, is that so." Naoki Nagayama thought for a while. Miho Nakamori and Tsuruko seem to be very compatible. "There are still empty rooms, but underage girls can't just live in other men's houses."
"Eh? Then why can I and Nana-chan?"
"Are you a baka? You are my sister... Nana-chan is a neighbor who grew up together..."
"Oh... this time Nana-chan can't come together..." Tsuruko Nagayama was a little disappointed. "She has to attend a cram school..."
"So you invited Miho-chan to accompany you?" Naoki Nagayama understood, he thought for a while,
"How about this, play together during the day, and I will drive Miho-chan home at night~"
"Honto? Won't it be too troublesome for Ni-chan?" Tsuruko used a very soft tone, hypocritically "caring."
"Tsuruko... don't use this tone anymore. Don't I know you from childhood?" Naoki Nagayama was speechless. This kind of green tea-filled tone, how did she know it since childhood? It seems mother didn't teach her like this.
"Qi~ Then trouble you!" After returning to her nature, she was like a delinquent girl. "How is Eitaro? Did you miss me?"
Naoki Nagayama saw the puppy curled up on the sofa and could only say insincerely: "Eitaro is very good, usually should miss home, the amount of food is less."
"That's right, Ni-chan, give the receiver to Eitaro~" This... Naoki Nagayama could only pick up Eitaro and bring him close to the receiver, only hearing "Eitaro, eat well, don't miss me, I will come to see you in a few days!"
The puppy here desperately moved his head out, his front limbs on his head, as if to cover his ears.
After finally hanging up the phone, Naoki Nagayama said to the little guy:
"Eitaro, for the harmony of the Nagayama family, you really worked hard." ===== CHAPTER 189 =====
Tsuruko did not call first; instead, she chose to write a letter to ask about Miho's schedule at that time, saying she wanted to go see her and so on. In any case, she explained her meaning in a roundabout way.
After all, it wasn't the same relationship as with a childhood friend, so she still had to consider whether she would be disturbing the other person.
She sealed the envelope, affixed the stamp, and prepared to mail it tomorrow.
If there were no problems, she could go to Tokyo to play in April and see her friend again.
Nagayama Tsuruko lay on her bed, rolling back and forth happily.
Right, she could also go see Eitaro!
At this moment, Eitaro, who was dozing off, suddenly gave a start, let out a "Woof," and hurriedly looked around.
In his little head: "Seems like there's danger?"
