Chapter 443

Tokyo's Yamanote Line is the main commuter line for Tokyo people. The starting station is Shinagawa Station in Minato Ward, and the terminal station is Tabata Station in Kita Ward. The line is circular, passes through many transportation hubs, and is a veritable transportation lifeline.

And Ikebukuro is the most prosperous block on the Yamanote Line besides Shinjuku and Shibuya.

Naoki Nagayama came to a movie theater called "Bungeiza" in this place this morning. Yoshimura Otomo chose this place as the preview screening venue for 'Crows Zero'.

On the one hand, because this movie theater is a famous movie theater in Tokyo, and on the other hand, because Ikebukuro has a lot of young people, and "Bungeiza" is the place where young people who love watching movies like to gather the most.

For this preview screening, besides inviting media reporters and industry insiders, some empty seats were reserved, and young people who often come here to watch movies were invited to watch in advance.

Because he was not an actor, Naoki Nagayama just wore a simple white T-shirt and breathable linen trousers and came to "Bungeiza" in Ikebukuro.

"It's quite hard to find~"

After parking the car, Naoki Nagayama looked at the building at the corner of the street. A plaque of an angel holding a harp was hung on the outer wall facing the intersection. There were a few small windows on the side outer wall, and the simple "Bungeiza" sign was there.

Even though it was still a school day, there were many young college students coming and going, as if they didn't need to go to school.

After Naoki Nagayama walked into the movie theater, he saw Yoshimura Otomo's figure in the small ticket office:

"Otomo-san."

Yoshimura Otomo was originally talking to someone. After seeing Naoki Nagayama come, he said sorry and walked to his side. "Naoki-san, you've arrived too."

"I shouldn't be late, right? How are the people coming?"

"They just started coming." Yoshimura Otomo said. "Ito Shuichi-san said he went to pick up his teacher, and they will come together later."

"Is that so~"

Naoki Nagayama stood in the ticket office for a while. Familiar reporters or young people he didn't know walked into the movie theater one after another, and then followed the signs into the screening hall.

However, what made Naoki Nagayama strange was, what about the friends he personally gave movie tickets to, such as Chikako Qingshan or Suzumi Hoshino? Did they all get lost collectively?

With this thought, Naoki Nagayama walked to the road outside "Bungeiza" and looked around, waiting, thinking constantly in his heart that there were no mobile phones in this era, which was really inconvenient.

Clouds in the sky covered the dazzling sunlight, depicting a scene of blue sky and white clouds, making people on the ground feel refreshed.

From time to time, a light breeze chased over, blew past the ears of passersby, and then walked away mischievously.

On the streets extending from Ikebukuro Station, pedestrians coming and going headed to their respective destinations. Everyone seemed unable to stop enjoying this beautiful time.

However, Naoki Nagayama was an exception.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window at the street corner, Naoki Nagayama waited for his friends boredly, occasionally turning around to look at the surrounding shops and snacks with the characteristics of the era, as well as young people walking in pairs and laughing, and an idea arose in his mind.

Come to think of it, if he came here for shopping with Akina, it might be a good choice~

After daydreaming unconsciously for a while, Naoki Nagayama felt something was wrong. People walking by seemed to stop and look at him. Some girls even slowed down and walked past him specifically.

". Was I recognized?"

Naoki Nagayama's first thought was this, but he had been away from the screen for almost half a year. With such a long gap, except for some die-hard fans, the Tokyo people who like the new and tire of the old should have forgotten him long ago.

Until a few bold young girls walked up to Naoki Nagayama, giggling:

"This student~ which school are you from? Can we get to know each other?"

Uh. This is being picked up!

"Ano. Actually, I am not a student." Naoki Nagayama tried to answer the questions of the young girls. "Coming here today is just for work."

However, another question was immediately met:

"Honto? Then what does this brother do? Is he a model?"

"No, no, although I worked part-time once before, modeling is definitely not my profession." Naoki Nagayama originally wanted to answer properly. "Actually, I am a screenwriter and."

"Oh? Screenwriter!" One of the young ladies immediately exclaimed exaggeratedly. "What script has this brother written?! Is there one I know?"

Another girl was saying: "This brother hasn't said his name yet!"

A voice came from nowhere: "The handsome guy looks very familiar, have I seen him somewhere."

"You idiot, you say everyone handsome looks familiar!"

Naoki Nagayama felt he couldn't even get a word in, and because several young girls were surrounding the intersection, it slowly attracted more attention, and then many people discovered the handsome guy in the center, thinking it was some idol activity, so soon there was a crowd watching here.

A sentence suddenly popped out of the crowd: "Isn't that heartbreaker Naoki?"

"? Really? Where? " "He's right inside!" "Impossible!" "Let me see!"

The crowded crowd formed a circle, circling Naoki Nagayama inside, and there were even some sounds of taking pictures, which made him truly see the influence brought by fame.

At this time, Naoki Nagayama had been made a mess by the complicated situation around him, almost forgetting what he came out to do. While replying to the questions around him, he suddenly saw Chikako Qingshan walking across the road and her peers accompanying her, and then he woke up.

"I can't stay here anymore, it's going to cause an accident!"

With this thought in his mind, Naoki Nagayama immediately squeezed toward the intersection, and while saying to the people around him: "Sumimasen, I have something to do now. The person I am waiting for has arrived! Please forgive me."

After finally squeezing out of the crowd, Naoki Nagayama immediately walked toward Chikako Qingshan on the opposite side.

Since the morning, Chikako Qingshan's mood had been very good. She wore a cool dress and went to meet her best friend.

Because Naoki-san gave her two movie tickets for the 'Crows Zero' preview screening, and her grandfather Qingshan Xin didn't like watching such young movies, so Chikako was able to bring her best friend to watch it together.

After arriving in Ikebukuro by subway, she walked and chatted with her best friend Hayakawa Use, and the great sunshine made her mood even more pleasant.

"Chikako-chan, do you really know Naoki Nagayama?" Hayakawa Use asked curiously. "Actually able to get tickets for the preview screening."

"Didn't I tell you? Naoki-san is my grandfather's friend across generations, so I know him." Chikako Qingshan didn't want her best friend to misunderstand anything. "The opportunity for the preview screening was also given to my grandfather! Naoki-san and I. are just ordinary friends!"

"Ordinary friends? Hehe~"

Hayakawa Use scanned Chikako Qingshan's good figure up and down. She was so sexy at such a young age, it was really enviable!

"Chikako-chan, come to think of it, that heartbreaker Naoki, did he really not do anything to you? Did he not make a move?"

"So I said!!! We are just ordinary friends who happen to know each other! There is absolutely no move you are talking about!" Chikako Qingshan's face turned red, and she scolded her best friend shyly. "Naoki-san is a very upright person!"

"Haha, if you say so~" Hayakawa Use curled her lips. "But I don't think there is a cat in the world that doesn't steal fish~"

"You"

Just when Chikako Qingshan was about to continue arguing with Hayakawa Use, Hayakawa Use stopped and looked at the crowd opposite and said: "Eh? What's going on there, it looks like a roadshow?"

Chikako Qingshan also looked over: "It's probably some activity~"

Just at this time, the crowd was in a commotion, and then a figure suddenly squeezed out of the crowd. The simple and clean clothing plus the fresh and handsome face could easily stand out even in a crowd.

And now, this figure actually moved quickly toward Chikako Qingshan and Hayakawa Use.

The young man, who was a head taller than Chikako Qingshan, ran quickly to their side and said with a slight pant: "Chikako-chan!"

"Eh? Naoki-san?" Chikako Qingshan's heartbeat accelerated a bit.

"Run!"

Naoki Nagayama said briefly, immediately pulled Chikako Qingshan's arm, and ran toward the "Bungeiza" movie theater, leaving a group of people watching the backs of the two leaving, at a loss.

Among them was Hayakawa Use, who only reacted after a while, stomped her feet angrily: "Chikako-chan! And you said you had nothing going on!!"

Then she followed the direction of the two in front with small steps.

Naoki Nagayama pulled Chikako Qingshan's arm and pulled her all the way to the ticket office of the movie theater before stopping, and then let go of the surprised girl.

"Ah, it should be fine here." Naoki Nagayama looked back with some worry, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no one following.

"Naoki-san? What's wrong?" Chikako Qingshan's breathing was a bit rapid, and her face was red, a bit shy. "Is someone chasing you?"

"Ah, I caused some attention." Naoki Nagayama said to Chikako Qingshan embarrassedly. "It was hard to run out."

Then he was curious: "Chikako-chan, why are you alone today? Didn't Old Man Qingshan come?"

"Grandfather said he didn't like watching this kind of youth movie." Chikako Qingshan said. "So I came with a friend."

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered that she still had a best friend!!! Where did the person go!!

"Yabai! Use-chan!"

Just as she wanted to look back, she found a girl's figure walking quickly into the ticket office, with a very speechless expression on her face, and a very resentful tone:

"Chikako-chan~~~~"

"Sumimasen, I didn't react just now." Chikako Qingshan held Use's arm. "Please forgive me!"

Naoki Nagayama also reacted at this time and walked up: "Ah, this is Chikako-chan's friend, right? Sorry for being so reckless to pull people over just now."

Hayakawa Use saw a handsome guy talking to her, and was a bit shy for a while: "Ah, it's okay. This is heartbreaker. ah no, Naoki Nagayama-san?"

". Hmm, yes!" Naoki Nagayama treated the half sentence as if he hadn't heard it, and welcomed the two with a smile. "Welcome to support my new movie today! If you have any opinions after watching it, you must put them forward frankly!"

"Hi, I will!" Hayakawa Use became active all of a sudden.

At this time, more and more people came to the ticket office, and many industry friends' eyes would see Naoki Nagayama's side, and he didn't continue to talk to the two,

"Chikako-chan, take your friend in first, I still have to welcome the newcomers."

"Hi~"

Watching Naoki Nagayama bring a girl in, Yoshimura Otomo didn't say much, and didn't know what to say... so he chose to turn a blind eye.

When Naoki Nagayama returned to continue welcoming guests with him, he acted as if nothing had happened, smiling at the people who came in and guiding them to the screening hall.

People coming in from time to time, those who knew him greeted Yoshimura Otomo and Naoki Nagayama, those who didn't know him went directly into the screening hall. Gradually, the screening hall became fuller and fuller.

"Otomo-san, are the people we invited almost all here?"

"Most of them should be here." Yoshimura Otomo said. "If they really didn't come, it should be because they have other things."

Just as the two were chatting, a person holding a camera walked in from the door, and the goal was to greet Naoki Nagayama directly:

"Naoki-san, good morning?"

? What's going on with this guy, why does the smile on his face feel a bit gloating, but very familiar,

"Good morning, you are."

"Ah, Naoki-san is really forgetful." Matsuzawa Shinnosuke's face didn't change. "I am Matsuzawa Shinnosuke, who often asks you questions!"

Ah! I remembered, this guy asked Naoki Nagayama tricky questions at several preview screenings. Did he come again this time?

A guy full of bad water.

"Ah, so it's Matsuzawa-san, long time no see!" Looking at the sparks, Yoshimura Otomo immediately took over the conversation. "Hurry in, the movie is about to start!"

"Ha, that's right!" Matsuzawa Shinnosuke curled his lips, seemingly in a very good mood today. "I heard it's a very excellent movie."

"Uh, you're over-praising~" Naoki Nagayama felt that this guy seemed to be coming with goodwill today.

Matsuzawa Shinnosuke turned and walked toward the screening hall, but when he was about to enter the door, he suddenly turned around and said: "By the way, Naoki-san, are there any friends you haven't picked up yet?"

"? Friends?"

"Ah, I just happened to take a picture of Naoki-san picking someone up, so I asked casually."

Matsuzawa Shinnosuke patted his camera, looking very proud, his face frivolous,

"It's not early, the movie is about to play, right? I have a lot of questions I want to ask Naoki-san at the media meeting later~"

After saying that, this guy turned and went inside, his heart jumping with excitement: "This time, I finally caught your handle for sure!"

Naoki Nagayama and Yoshimura Otomo looked at each other:

"Otomo-san, that guy just now was provoking, right? Definitely provoking, right?"

"Well, maybe he just has a natural facial expression control disorder." Yoshimura Otomo said a disease he didn't even know, his face relaxed.

What, want to use this little gossip to handle Naoki Nagayama?

Who do you think you are dealing with?!
