Chapter 237: At worst, think more about small movies before going to bed!

~13 min read 2,418 words

"Hoo... hoo hoo... inhale..."

Naoki Nagayama was hiding at the corner of the wall, breathing rapidly.

He looked towards the corner from time to time, seemingly afraid that something was chasing him!

After resting for a while, he immediately started running in the opposite direction.

The corridors in the dim Japanese-style building were endless, without doors or windows, only paper sliding doors.

Naoki Nagayama, who was becoming more and more anxious, opened a paper sliding door again, eager to escape from this building.

However, a dim room appeared in front of him, with a weird TV set with full-screen snow in the middle!

He didn't know how many times this had been.

In the dream, Naoki Nagayama also had an impression that after encountering such a room, a plot like a script kill would appear.

Everything went black, and then he would open his eyes somewhere in the Japanese-style building again, and start this cycle again.

"Ding ling ling", the phone on the wall rang.

Naoki Nagayama's hand picked it up uncontrollably.

A sizzling electric sound came from the receiver.

Then the snow on the TV screen gradually disappeared, and then a black well appeared.

Naoki Nagayama was so scared that he sat on the ground, wanting to move, but his whole body was like being pressed by a ghost, unable to move at all.

Watching helplessly as a terrifying figure in white clothes and disheveled hair crawled out of the TV screen, slowly crawling in front of him...

It seemed that he had experienced it many times, and then everything would go black, and then he would open his eyes again, but Naoki Nagayama still felt fear for this plot kill.

"Sadako-san, don't kill me..."

"Don't... don't come over... stay away from me!"

"Sadako-san, don't crawl on me..."

"Sadako-san, don't lick my face!"

"... Eh???"

Something seems wrong?

Why did Sadako-san suddenly start sticking out her tongue and licking my face, patter patter?!

Soft, warm, and wet?

Naoki Nagayama on the bed opened his eyes!

Wang Wang Wang was crawling on the edge of the bed, sticking his wet tongue and licking his face...

"Okay, okay, Wang Wang Wang, I'm awake! I'm awake! Don't lick anymore!"

The bright autumn sunshine shone into the window, making the entire bedroom in a piece of brightness, and even the ground was full of luster like it had been waxed, revealing everywhere that he had returned to the real world.

Entangled by Sadako-san for a whole night, Naoki Nagayama felt that he had run the group many times in that dim Japanese-style attic. The biological clock in the morning didn't work. Fortunately, Wang Wang Wang saw that something was wrong and rescued him from the nightmare.

Rubbed Wang Wang Wang's dog head, "Thanks to you, Wang Wang Wang, I'll encourage you with a big bone today!"

Poured a glass of warm water and drank it down, relieving the thirst in his mouth. Naoki Nagayama then discovered that there was a layer of dense fine sweat on his forehead, and his pajamas also had a dampness, which was very uncomfortable.

Hurriedly went to the bathroom to take a shower, making the whole person look brand new.

Generally speaking, when a person wakes up, the content in the dream becomes vague, and it might be forgotten completely, but Naoki Nagayama's nightmare last night was vivid.

"I really had a nightmare..."

Naoki Nagayama had a guess before, what if he recalled a horror movie when he was sleeping? He didn't expect to really fall into a horror dream this time.

Although he was not very timid, he couldn't stand playing horror VR every day, and it was a version with plot kills!

Thinking for a long time, his unreliable special ability really couldn't be controlled...

Perhaps this was the price of stealing the future...

However, perhaps there was a way to avoid horror movies?

"At worst, think more about small erotic movies every day before going to bed!"

Naoki Nagayama thought "viciously".

He had already taken a shower in the morning, so he didn't do the routine morning run. Naoki Nagayama led the still chubby Wang Wang Wang, walking slowly on the sidewalk near Shanyingyuan, and walked to the Aoyama shop unknowingly.

In the small flower garden at the door of old man Aoyama Xin, three large chrysanthemums were placed. The bright yellow flowers that were about to bloom had already opened a few pieces, revealing layers of petals, making people can't help but look forward to the scenery of them all blooming.

"Naoki kid, how about it, these pots of chrysanthemums are not bad, right?"

After old man Aoyama saw Naoki Nagayama at the door, he opened the shop door, and seeing him admiring his proud work, he was even more proud.

"Hai, it's indeed very beautiful. If it's fully opened, it will be even more beautiful." Naoki Nagayama straightened his body, and the fragrance of chrysanthemums seemed to linger on the tip of his nose.

"That's of course, these few pots of imperial chrysanthemums of mine are going to be taken to participate in the competition!"

"Eh? Is it the Tokyo Tourism Chrysanthemum Conference or the Meiji Jingu Chrysanthemum Exhibition?

But shouldn't that be in November? Shouldn't it have withered by then?"

Naoki Nagayama looked at these chrysanthemums that were about to bloom, a bit curious.

"How could it be that kind of high-standard exhibition..." Aoyama Xin was a bit unwilling. "Although I think the chrysanthemums I raise are not inferior to them..."

"It's the chrysanthemum appreciation conference held by the community..."

Hearing this, the grade dropped a lot at once. Naoki Nagayama showed an expression on his face that he didn't know what to say.

"You guy, don't look down on the community chrysanthemum appreciation conference!" Aoyama Xin said confidently, "It's supported by the Tokyo Flower Enthusiasts Association! The chrysanthemums participating in the competition are all top-grade!"

"Hai hai~ I know, I know~" Naoki Nagayama liked beautiful flowers, but he was not very interested in this conference. "Speaking of which, how about the Hawaiian noni fruit I brought you before? Did you eat it?"

"Is that thing for humans to eat?!" Aoyama Xin brewed tea for Naoki Nagayama and then said, "Even if it's crushed and added with honey, it has a strange taste when drunk."

"Hahaha, it's mainly because the nutritional value is high~" Naoki Nagayama really didn't have anything to refute about the taste of noni fruit.

"Who knows if you, Naoki, got it to tease me, an old man~"

"Don't wrong me~" Naoki Nagayama's gaze drifted to another part of the shop. Although it was indeed a good item, it didn't necessarily mean he wasn't teasing her a little. "Has Chikako-san already gone to school?"

"Of course, the Double Ninth Festival is not a holiday."

"? Double Ninth Festival?" Naoki Nagayama was stunned for a moment. "Is today the Double Ninth Festival?"

"Yes, September 9th~ Don't you even remember the date, you guy?" Aoyama Xin looked at him in surprise. "Confused."

In this era, people generally used the kind of calendar that tore off one sheet every day. Naoki Nagayama found it troublesome and never got one. He generally relied on the date on the newspaper to determine the time, but he was not in the mood to read it this morning.

Perhaps it was because he heard a familiar festival, Naoki Nagayama's thoughts fluctuated slightly.

"Ah, Double Ninth Festival~"

The Double Ninth Festival, where one is a stranger in a strange land and misses one's relatives more on every festive day, but although he is in a strange land, he didn't have any relatives to miss in his previous life...

"In that case, didn't Naoki-san eat chestnut rice today?" Aoyama Xin said, "That won't do. Eating chestnut rice is to drive away evil and avoid disasters, and bless the body to be healthy!"

Looking at Aoyama Xin who was serious, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help laughing: "Haha, only now I found out that old man Aoyama is also an old man who firmly believes in tradition~"

"Nani?!"

Aoyama Xin was a bit about to blow his beard and stare. Naoki Nagayama hurriedly drank the hot tea in the cup, panting because of the scalding.

"Hai hai, I know~ I'll go buy some chestnuts and make chestnut rice~"

Saying that, he pulled Wang Wang Wang and ran out.

Saying he was going to buy chestnuts, in the end, he bought a lot of things in the supermarket, fresh meat, vegetables, snacks, drinks, etc., and also bought some chrysanthemum-shaped Japanese sweets in the supermarket, which was a special broadcast for today.

Returning to Shanyingyuan, he put all these into the refrigerator. The food for the next week had been prepared.

He was not in the mood to make sweet things like chestnut rice at noon, simply fried a large steak, shared it with Wang Wang Wang, and then gave him all the bones of the steak, which was considered to have completed the big bone promised in the morning. The little fellow was very satisfied.

He didn't want to stay at home in the afternoon, and prepared to go to the studio for a stroll, and by the way, ask Dayou Fangcun if there were any talents who knew how to manage a tea house.

Before going out, he thought about it and brought the chrysanthemum-shaped Japanese sweets.

When he arrived at the studio in a convertible, there were not many people here. Most of the filming crew staff had been pulled to the set of the new movie by Yin Tangxiu and Ren Bo Qingshui.

However, Xiao Sen Xiaoshen Zhengxiao, who was intercepted, was still there, and greeted Naoki Nagayama very enthusiastically:

"Naoki-san, you're here~"

"Hmm, came here to discuss some things with Dayou-san. Xiaoshen Zhengxiao-jun's preparation work here shouldn't be much, right?" Naoki Nagayama asked him about the preparation situation for the subsequent filming.

"Hai, ready to go at any time." Xiao Sen Xiaoshen Zhengxiao patted his chest and guaranteed that the photographic equipment had been debugged and could be taken away at any time, and even the group had been greeted.

"Haha, that's good~"

After Naoki Nagayama said a few words, he walked into the office. Sure enough, Dayou Fangcun was reading the newspaper inside.

"Dayou-san, what are you doing?"

"Reading the newspaper..." Dayou Fangcun said flatly, seemingly still a bit unhappy about yesterday's matter. "Naoki-san didn't come to tell me that you don't want to participate in the song festival again, right?"

"Hahaha, how is that possible? If I promised to go, I will definitely go!" Naoki Nagayama still had this bit of character. "Dayou-san, I brought you special Japanese sweets!"

"Offering kindness without a reason, it's either treacherous or thieving..." Looking at the chrysanthemum-shaped Japanese sweets in the package, Dayou Fangcun actually said this sentence in Chinese. "Naoki-san's Chinese is so good, you know what it means, right!"

"How could it be, how could it be, there is no bad intention at all!"

"Oh? Then there is no matter to ask me?"

"Uh... there is still one thing to trouble Dayou-san." The face was slapped so fast that even someone as thick-skinned as Naoki Nagayama couldn't hold it.

Dayou Fangcun looked at Naoki Nagayama with an expression of 'as expected': "When I asked for help before, there was no bribery. It seems this matter is very troublesome..."

"It's not very troublesome, it's just similar in nature to Araki Shigezhi." Naoki Nagayama began to explain the matter of his own tea house needing a manager.

After Dayou Fangcun finished listening, he sighed: "Naoki-san, looking for Araki Shigezhi who manages nightclubs, at least it's because I contact the supernatural world, and I know some people more or less. Helping to contact Shogakukan before was because it was publishing work, and I always met peers... but this time, no matter how I think about it, it's impossible for me to have any relationship with people who open tea houses..."

"Why do you think I can find such a person?"

"Because it's Dayou-san!" Naoki Nagayama felt that his sincere expression at this time could definitely win an Oscar. "I believe in you!"

If it were in a hot-blooded manga, Dayou Fangcun's blood should be surging, his confidence greatly increased, and he should loudly promise "Leave it to me!" at this time.

It's a pity that this is reality. Dayou Fangcun sighed helplessly, as if satisfying a child's unreasonable request: "Okay, I'll look for it, don't blame me if I can't find it..."

After communicating this matter, Naoki Nagayama called Xiao Sen Xiaoshen Zhengxiao in. The three of them brewed tea and ate Japanese sweets, and drank afternoon tea like this...

The boss taking the lead in slacking off, it's really great!

Dayou Fangcun suddenly thought of something, biting the Japanese sweets and saying:

"By the way, Naoki-san, the Tokyo Film Press Conference contacted Tree Friends Film before."

"? Tokyo Film Press Conference? Blue Ribbon Awards?" Naoki Nagayama reacted immediately. The most famous thing about this press conference was the Japan Blue Ribbon Awards.

"Hai, it's about the nomination. They want to provide some data on *Convenience Store Robbery*, and also need us to make a VCR."

"Is the nomination starting so early?" The selection event for the Japan Blue Ribbon Awards was generally in January or February of the beginning of the year. What they were evaluating was the premiere movies of the whole past year.

"Hai, after all, it's already September, and it has started one after another. Besides, our *Convenience Store Robbery* will definitely be nominated. After all, the box office is so high."

"Isn't there *Hachiko*?"

"This movie will definitely win the award!" Dayou Fangcun was full of confidence. Even if there were public relations from other film companies, it was impossible to let this movie fail, otherwise the face of the Japanese film industry would be gone!

Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but ask one more question: "Then are the selections for the Kinema Junpo Awards and the Mainichi Film Awards also about to begin?"

"They should all start one after another, the specific time may not be accurate." Dayou Fangcun hadn't contacted such movie award selections much, and planned to ask Ren Bo Qingshui carefully later.

"Maybe in January or February of next year, all kinds of movie awards will be Tree Friends Film." Xiao Sen Xiaoshen Zhengxiao on the side said with some expectation, making Naoki Nagayama and Dayou Fangcun stunned. ===== CHAPTER 238 =====
