Chapter 539: You actually wrote my first love into a movie?!

Tokyo Bubble Life Main Text Volume 556, you actually wrote my first love into a movie?! Naoki Nagayama had to get up early to code words~

Because his girlfriend, who urged him to update last night, called in the middle of the night to urge him personally, there was no one else~

"Naoki-san, Ano. Has the previous plot of 'My Tomorrow, Your Yesterday' been written?"

"."

Yoshimura Otomo and Ito Shuichi Itou also expressed that this time would be it, and next time they would host and invite President Hanami to drink flower wine, and while going out, they were still chatting about when and where.

"This. It's written for tens of thousands of words, but it's definitely not finished~" Naoki Nagayama said. "Usually there are other things that delay the time for writing, and it's not enough."

"If it's tens of thousands of words a day, it can definitely be written in a week, right?!" Akina on the microphone cheered enthusiastically. "Then Naoki-san, you have to work hard! Your readers are looking forward to the following plot!"

"." Akina. How did your 37c mouth say such cold words~

They chatted about some miscellaneous things on the phone, but by the next morning, Naoki Nagayama only remembered that he was urged by his girlfriend.

So, after walking the dog, he ran to the study to continue trying to code words.

However, it seemed that God didn't want Naoki Nagayama to finish writing so quietly. Just when someone was concentrating on coding words, the phone in Shanyingyuan suddenly rang.

"Moshi Moshi Moshi Moshi, this is Shanyingyuan." Naoki Nagayama walked to the bedroom and picked up the phone.

"Aha, Naoki is really at home!" A hearty laugh came from the microphone. "I, Kaede Nagayama, have finally returned to Tokyo!"

"Brother Kaede is finally back?" Naoki Nagayama smiled.

When he went back during the New Year, he naturally chatted with his grandfather about his cousin's debauchery in Tokyo, which caused his grandfather to forcibly detain him in Shimizu City for more than a week before the New Year.

He was definitely lectured, but also because there were many rules for the New Year in the club, such as meeting many bosses, connecting feelings, discussing New Year's goals, etc. As the only successor of the third generation, Kaede Nagayama naturally had to be present.

"Yes, I was almost suffocated in that small place in Shimizu!" Kaede Nagayama said carelessly. "Finally back, I have to relax well!"

"." Naoki Nagayama shook his head. "Brother Kaede, haven't you been beaten enough during the New Year?"

He remembered that after Kumahara Nagayama went back, he had a "friendly exchange" between father and son in the ancestral hall with Brother Kaede!

Naoki Nagayama's uncle, who had the title of "a man like a bear" because of judo!

"Hahaha~ What are you afraid of! Can father run from Shimizu to Tokyo to beat me up?!"

Such tough words sounded weak. If they were face to face, Naoki Nagayama would be able to see the forced calmness on his cousin's face!

"Don't talk about this!" Kaede Nagayama changed the subject. "Naoki, do you have time to go to the sumo hall today? The family asked me to bring something for you, saying it's for that business called ktv."

"Oh?"

After Naoki Nagayama talked with his grandfather in his hometown, he thought his grandfather and Kumahara Nagayama must have discussed it, but they actually asked Brother Kaede to bring something over? This was curious.

"Is it a specialty?"

"Sort of. Anyway, you'll know when you come!" Kaede Nagayama said vaguely. "Come quickly, I'll wait for you at the sumo hall. After handing it to you early, I still have to go and have fun!"

". Okay, I'll be there right away~"

Naoki Nagayama didn't delay too much after hanging up the phone. After changing into a trench coat, he drove to the sumo hall in Sumida Ward.

Tokyo returned to clear and cold weather. Under the light blue sky were gray-white buildings. Office buildings made of steel and wooden detached houses were arranged high and low, mixed with green plant parks and black cement roads.

And looking closely, you could see roofs and outer walls of different colors such as red, yellow, or white, colorful decorations, neon lights, signs, vending machines.

Flowing pedestrians and vehicles added vitality, enriching the silhouette of Tokyo in the Showa era.

The distance from Chiyoda to Sumida Ward was not very far, and Naoki Nagayama soon arrived at the sumo hall where his cousin was staying.

In the cold weather, the sumo hall was even more lively. You could still see sumo wrestlers wearing only loincloths, passionately pushing each other in the middle of the circle. Naoki Nagayama felt that he definitely couldn't appreciate such a competition.

Everyone in the sumo hall knew Naoki Nagayama, so he walked directly to the backyard and found his cousin who was watching TV in the room:

"Brother Kaede, why didn't you go to watch the sumo match?"

"Ah, because I have to watch this!" Kaede Nagayama saw his cousin coming and patted a large box next to him directly.

Naoki Nagayama looked at the leather suitcase that had seen better days and was very curious: "What is this? Is it the specialty mentioned before?"

"Specialty. Haha, yes~" Kaede Nagayama had a strange smile on his face, stood up and locked the door, then moved the box to the low table. "It's a bit heavy."

"What is it, mysterious~ and locked."

Naoki Nagayama tried it and found that it was locked, which was a bit funny.

"Wait a moment." Kaede Nagayama took a key from his neck. "I've been feeling uneasy about this thing all day. Now it's finally okay, I can finally rest assured!"

Watching Kaede Nagayama open the lock with the key, then press the button, and open one side of the suitcase toward Naoki Nagayama.

Inside the not-so-small suitcase, it was actually bundles of paper money!!! And there were new and old ones! The denominations were also different!!

Prince Shotoku, Prince Shotoku, Prince Shotoku. Prince Shotoku of different denominations, and even Yamato Takeru, Takahashi Korekiyo.

In the dim room, the locked door, two people, the open suitcase, bundles of banknotes. This look was exactly like the scene of some illegal transaction!!

Naoki Nagayama was shocked and subconsciously covered the suitcase!

"Brother Kaede, what is going on?!"

"Hahaha, as expected, Naoki also has a time when he is scared!" Kaede Nagayama seemed to be watching a joke on purpose. "How about it, this specialty is very shocking, right!"

Actually, it was not as shocking as when Naoki Nagayama was in the office of Tree Friend Film, and the three of them, Tomo Yoshimura and Ito Shuichi Ido, were packing the year-end bonus together. At that time, bundles of banknotes were piled on the table!

But this time, his cousin caught him off guard~

". I was indeed scared!" Naoki Nagayama let out a sigh. "So much money, and the denominations are all different."

Is the specialty of the extreme path so wild?

"This is the protection fee received by the Yamaguchi-gumi in the past two years. It cannot be deposited in the bank, so of course it is fragmented. There are 500 million in total!" Kaede Nagayama said. "This is what grandfather said, the money to be invested in that business called ktv!"

"This"

They had only communicated once, and they sent the money directly?

Kaede Nagayama patted Naoki's shoulder: "After grandfather and father discussed it, they thought what you said was very reasonable, and we are all family, so they sent the money directly."

"They asked me to learn how the so-called ktv operates first, and at the same time build a new shop, and then operate it directly. This is just an early investment, as support for Naoki."

In fact, a lot of the money received by the Yamaguchi-gumi cannot be deposited in the bank, otherwise how could they store so much cash at any time.

If ktv is done well, and it can be as popular as Naoki Nagayama said, then not only can it make money, but it can also launder the cash in the organization.

Plus Naoki Nagayama is family and very rich, and Kaede Nagayama is here, so grandfather supports it so much.

Naoki Nagayama thought for a while:

"Since grandfather has already decided, then we can indeed take action."

"Brother Kaede, I will take you to see Araki Shigechi of the disco later. He is the actual operator of the ktv under my company in the future. He has a lot of experience in the operation of nightclubs and clubs. You can learn from him first."

Thoughts flew, Naoki Nagayama thought about the trend after that,

"Currently my ktv hasn't started building yet. After I buy the land and finish the renovation, it will probably be April. Brother Kaede can try to manage it together first, and at the same time build your own family's ktv."

In the room, he chattered for nearly an hour, and Naoki Nagayama explained the "Cashier" ktv model in Hong Kong and Taiwan to his cousin.

"In short, let's start doing it first. In the future, this kind of ktv will definitely become a good place for Tokyo people to relax!" Naoki Nagayama said to Kaede Nagayama.

And Kaede Nagayama was also very excited:

"Haha, more interesting than a nightclub, such an interesting and

"Hai, I understand!" Yasushi Akimoto nodded, but a shadow of Naoki Nagayama was cast over his heart again, and he sighed, "Naoki-san really has so many ideas!"

Sugiura Daitai thought he was praising Naoki Nagayama, so he also smiled and said:

"Yes, I heard from the department head that when he came to visit and chat, he thought of a very good variety show idea, and the department head also felt it had great potential. Currently, we are waiting for the specific proposal!"

"."

Yasushi Akimoto looked outside the window; why did the sky get dark so quickly?

Returning to the studio, Naoki Nagayama rarely started working at his own desk.

He borrowed a stack of manuscript paper from Riko Hayano and started writing the proposal for the "Annual New Word and Buzzword Awards" and the "Annual Kanji Awards."

To be honest, Naoki Nagayama, who had been using a typewriter for a long time, even felt a bit awkward writing by hand.

"Naoki-san," just at this moment, Ito Shuichi Itou leaned over. "Speaking of which, our photography department hasn't determined our goals for the new year yet~"

"?" Naoki Nagayama looked over strangely. "New year goals?"

"Yes, what are we filming this year?" Ito Shuichi Itou said. "The scripts we have here have all been filmed! 'Crows Zero', 'Ring', and so on."

"." Naoki Nagayama looked at Ito Shuichi Itou with contempt. "Ito Shuichi-san, are you coveting my small inventory?"

Ito Shuichi Itou had no sense of embarrassment at all: "Where, where, how can you call it coveting?!"

"Anyway, the scripts Naoki-san writes when he has nothing to do are just gathering dust in the drawer~ This is a loss for all of Japan!

It's better to film them and let everyone appreciate them~

Besides, we can also make money!"

Naoki Nagayama looked at Ito Shuichi Itou's righteous appearance and couldn't help but praise his thick skin. After two years of tempering, Director Itou finally lived into the appearance of a mature director; once he sees a good script, he must get his hands on it no matter what!

But on second thought, it was true that the scripts were of no use just sitting there.

So Naoki Nagayama pulled out a sheet of manuscript paper and started calculating with Ito Shuichi Itou: "Ito Shuichi-san, I do have a few scripts here, but they are all leaning towards TV dramas, and some are not suitable for filming right now..."

Naoki Nagayama started writing on the manuscript paper, explaining each one as he wrote the title:

"There is a script called 'Love Generation', which tells the love story of a bickering couple. It's relatively happy, relaxed, and also very sweet. I think it should be able to move the audience~"

"Another script is called 'Tokyo Love Story', also a love story, but leaning towards adults, it's an urban drama...

If we want to film these two, choosing one of them is enough; filming them consecutively might make people tired of watching."

While writing them down, Naoki Nagayama briefly talked about the basic plot of the two most famous romance TV dramas, letting Yoshimura Otomo at the other desk come over to listen as well.

"......." Yuya Furuya was a little shy. "Morikawa-san, don't joke, it's just that my elders were afraid I would be bored during the holidays."

In fact, Yuya Furuya is the heir of a major shareholder of Shogakukan, so he came to contact the industry in advance.

Naoki Nagayama also understood. The baby-faced guy in front of him is a second-generation heir born with a silver spoon! No wonder he looks harmless and has always been well protected~

"Hahaha, the process of being opposite to others is actually an interesting experience~"

After joking for a while, Kuniharu Morikawa finally stated the formal purpose of coming today. He took out a document and handed it to Naoki Nagayama:

"Naoki-san, this is the proposal for holding a book signing at Keio. It was drafted based on our communication before the New Year. Please take a look and see if there are any problems."

After Naoki Nagayama took it, he flipped through it slowly, and Kuniharu Morikawa signaled Yuya Furuya to introduce it.

"Naoki-sensei, the book signing is tentatively scheduled for January 15th, after the start of the new semester, as the first activity of the new semester." Yuya Furuya introduced slowly while Naoki Nagayama was looking.

"The venue is the auditorium of the Faculty of Letters. We will let the student union promote it in advance and invite students to participate."

"The main processes include these items: 1. Introduction, 2. Interview, guest discussion, 3. Student interaction, 4. Book signing..."

Naoki Nagayama saw that the outline of the interview was listed in the proposal, and half of the stone in his heart was put down. If he could prepare in advance, he wouldn't be afraid. During the interaction, those college students, it should be about the same if he fools them a little~

After Yuya Furuya finished the introduction, Naoki Nagayama asked some questions he cared about, such as how many guests were invited, who they were, how long the interaction would last, and whether there would be media coverage, etc.

Yuya Furuya answered them in detail, and then Naoki Nagayama asked: "Furuya-kun, why do I feel that you are so familiar with Keio University?"

"Ah, I am a student of the Faculty of Letters at Keio University!" Yuya Furuya laughed. "And I am also an executive of the student union."

So that's it. So this is the reason why Kuniharu Morikawa brought him here!

At the end, the plan for this book signing had been discussed almost enough. Kuniharu Morikawa asked: "Naoki-san, if there are no other questions about the book signing, shall we start preparing according to this proposal?"

"Hmm, I have no other opinions."

Naoki Nagayama decided to hold this book signing at Keio University in mid-January. ===== CHAPTER 534 =====

"Arigato!!!"

While the two were passionate, Yoshimura Otomo suddenly interrupted: "That... Naoki-san, actually I also had a first love that ended without result... Do you think you could write a script for me too?"

"."

Late at night, Naoki Nagayama, who had returned to the mountain villa, accompanied by a cat and a dog, finished watching Akina Nakamori's performance on "THE BEST TEN".

The song "Snow Flower" didn't have any dance choreography; it leaned towards the traditional Enka style, which actually tested the singer's vocal skills the most.

However, the stage design could indeed make the performance more outstanding. The white lace long dress seen earlier appeared even more cold and detached amidst the falling snowflakes on stage, and Akina Nakamori's low voice also interpreted "Snow Flower" with deep affection.

"Eitaro, she sang very well, right~" Naoki Nagayama said to the dog beside him after listening.

"Woof!"

The dog didn't understand music, but it felt its owner's emotions and responded very cooperatively.

"Haha, right~"

After watching the show, Naoki Nagayama dialed a call to Akina's pager, believing she would be able to call back when she got home, and then went upstairs to continue typing.

If I don't write all day, I might dream about the scenes in the movie again at night~

Time passed quickly, and before he knew it, more than an hour had flashed by. Naoki Nagayama, who looked up to loosen his shoulders, glanced at the time and then wondered strangely:

"Why hasn't Akina called yet? Could there be other programs in the evening?"

After tidying up the draft, Naoki Nagayama, who was just about to take a shower and go to bed to wait, suddenly heard the doorbell ring downstairs:

"Ding-dong!"

"Who is looking for me so late?" A doorbell ringing in the middle of the night was just as scary as the Ring!

Accompanied by Eitaro, Naoki Nagayama walked to the door and found a figure standing at the door holding a bag. Walking closer to look, it was actually Akina Nakamori!

"Akina!" Naoki Nagayama quickly opened the iron gate. "Why did you come over at night?!"

"Because I really want to know the follow-up plot." Akina gently hugged her boyfriend and said mischievously, "I'll have insomnia if I don't read it tonight!"

In reality, it was because they had met in the afternoon but didn't have any time alone, not even a kiss or a hug, and on top of that, she had sung "Snow Flower" written by Naoki Nagayama in the evening, which really made Akina miss her boyfriend even more~

"Is that really so~" Naoki Nagayama naturally didn't believe it. If she had come specifically for that, why was she holding onto him without letting go the moment she entered the door~

However, he didn't expose his girlfriend's thoughts and pulled Akina into the door:

"Then come on in, I just happened to finish writing a section..."

Akina, who had just come off the show, didn't go to the study first, but went to take a shower first, even bringing her change of clothes in her bag~

After taking a shower, she leaned against the bed and read the manuscript Naoki Nagayama handed over.

An author writes for an hour, and a reader can finish reading it in a minute. Even for paper text, it's just a matter of taking a few more glances.

He hadn't written much new in the past two days. By the time Naoki Nagayama had also showered and lay down on the bed, Akina had already flipped the manuscript to the end...

"Naoki-san."

Just as Naoki Nagayama was thinking about talking to Akina, he heard Akina's call.

"?"

Even without makeup, her delicate skin glowed white under the bedside lamp, and her exquisite features were like a doll's. However, at this moment, there was a hint of resentment in her clear, watery eyes...

"Short and powerless~"

"???!!!" Naoki Nagayama was stunned by this term. "Akina, do you know what you are saying..."

"You actually only wrote such a little bit, I've already finished reading it~" Akina said with conviction. "Isn't this short and powerless?"

"."

Naoki Nagayama looked at his girlfriend, who had a mischievous look on her face, completely speechless. She actually used this term to describe her own boyfriend...

"Naoki-san, you have to work hard!"

I can't take it anymore!

Naoki Nagayama took the manuscript from Akina's hand and put it aside, then pulled Akina into his arms and started to get handsy, kissing her smooth cheeks while saying:

"Akina-chan, tonight I'm going to let you know what it means to be short and powerless!!"
