Chapter 838: Naoki-san like this, will be very dangerous in France!!

After returning to the Takanawa 80 Building, Naoki Nagayama prepared to pack his luggage for Cannes.

Then less than five minutes...... packed......

Looking at the "travel supplies" that could be put in a school bag, a few sets of clothes, sunglasses, passport, wallet...... Naoki Nagayama fell into deep thought.

"Why do I always feel that Akina will have a lot of things when packing....." When traveling with Akina before, the things to bring were a whole suitcase. "And in this era, you don't even need to bring power banks and charging cables!"

After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, so Naoki Nagayama chose to give up.

Just at this time, Nyataro ran into the bedroom, curiously watching what the two-legged beast was doing, and was hugged by Naoki Nagayama:

"Nyataro, Nyataro, this time you and Eitaro don't have to be sent back to the old house~"

This time Akina is still working in Tokyo. When preparing new songs, she can come back every day and take care of these two little things.

"So, there is no catnip to eat this time~"

Naoki Nagayama petted Nyataro with exquisite technique, and soon this orange cat made a purring sound.

Then it was heard by Eitaro, who ran to the front and started to compete for favor....... The thick tail slapped on the floor with a bang.

"Eitaro, during the time I'm away, take good care of Akina!"

Naoki Nagayama didn't favor one over the other, split a hand to pet the dog, and instructed seriously,

"I'm not in this house anymore, you are the only male in this house!"

"Meow~~~"

However, Nyataro in his arms made a dissatisfied sound......

"Ah..... forgot, forgot, Nyataro is also, Nyataro is also..... but who told you to always meow meow meow with a pinched voice...... Little clip is a bit too feminine....."

After teasing for a while, Naoki Nagayama made a call to his mother in the flat.

"Moshi Moshi, this is the Nagayama house....."

"Mother, it's me~" Naoki Nagayama said directly.

"Ah, Naoki...." Nanako Nagayama was very happy, "Why did you suddenly call back? Is everything okay?"

"Hmm, everything is very good...... Mother, you are good too? Father and eldest brother and sister-in-law and Wild Grass, are they all going smoothly?" There is a big family in Shizuoka, and Naoki Nagayama has to say a long time when greeting.

"Haha, still the same, but Wild Grass can already run around, now he talks non-stop every day, like an alarm clock."

Nanako Nagayama shared the daily life of her eldest grandson. Now Wild Grass Nagayama is almost two years old, and he is at the age of being lively and active, wanting to touch everything.

After talking for a long time, Naoki Nagayama listened quietly, nodding from time to time, smiling.......

"Ah, I accidentally talked for so long~" Nanako Nagayama apologized after realizing it, and then asked, "How is Akina-chan doing on Naoki's side?"

"Akina is preparing new songs, and she is very busy every day now."

Naoki Nagayama talked about the current situation of himself and Akina Nakamori, and finally got to the point,

"I called home today just to say that I will go abroad tomorrow to participate in the Cannes Film Festival."

"Cannes Film Festival?" Nanako Nagayama doesn't know much about these, only knowing it is a term she once heard, "Where is it?"

"France."

"So that's it......" Nanako Nagayama was a bit confused, but she also knew it was a very important activity, and didn't know what to say for a while, "Then if you go abroad, eat well, sleep well..... take care of your health......"

"Hai, I definitely will~"

Naoki Nagayama nodded, continued to listen to his mother's nagging for a while, and only said goodbye and hung up the phone when it was about time. He didn't enjoy family affection in his previous life, but now he feels very warm.

Until the end.....

"Eh? Should I call Tsuruko too?"

"....... Forget it? This heartless sister must be whispering sweet nothings with her boyfriend....."

Tsuruko Nagayama just went to watch the premiere of *One Cut of the Dead* with friends last night.

When sharing with classmates today, she was still discussing intensely......

"In fact, setting the first half hour is to make people have a deep impression when the truth behind the scenes is revealed later!" Tsuruko explained eloquently, "This kind of practice of suppressing first and then raising is a creation of the movie itself."

"But..... the first half hour is really hard to watch!" A classmate complained.

Although the surname is also Nagayama, there are many people with the same surname in Japan. Without special introduction, everyone will not treat them as relatives. Tsuruko Nagayama is Naoki Nagayama's sister, which very few people know at Waseda.

"That's because the radio waves didn't match. If the radio waves match, it's still very interesting!"

Junshui Ishii on the side also helped: "Yeah, the content later is very interesting, very funny!"

This statement also aroused the approval of some classmates~

Just like this, the discussion about this movie was mixed, but the popularity of the movie itself was getting higher and higher. After all, no one will discuss a movie that no one watches.

Many classmates who hadn't watched the movie also wanted to see why this movie was discussed by everyone.

After Tsuruko Nagayama and Junshui Ishii finished class and came out, the two whispered:

"Tsuruko..... I feel like there are many newspapers blackening Naoki-san in this movie....."

"Hmm, it must be! Kanda said so too!"

Tsuruko Nagayama and Junshui Ishii are both in the Department of Literature, but their boyfriends are in the Graduate School of Political Science, which is the journalism major..... In this era, print media is rampant, and journalism is a hot major...

Both of them were a bit worried for Naoki Nagayama. It was obvious that someone was blackening his new movie in the media. What should he do?

Walking and talking like this, until they returned to the Waseda apartment.

"Tsuruko..... why don't you call Naoki-niichan and ask?"

"He shouldn't be home now, wait until the evening....." Tsuruko wanted to ask in the evening, but her eyes swept over the phone, and she found that the message light was on, "Hmm? A message?"

Tsuruko didn't even put down her school bag and walked to the phone, pressed the play button....... and then heard her brother's lively message:

"Tsuruko ah..... your brother is going to France for a period of time in the future, to see the cultural customs of foreign countries, and by the way, participate in the Cannes Film Festival, and will see many international stars, including Marlon Brando whom you like very much...... You can't help but envy, hahahahaha~"

"I will bring you souvenirs..... don't miss me too much~"

"......."

Hearing the end of the playback, Tsuruko couldn't speak for a while.......

Marlon Brando is the first Godfather. The movie *The Godfather* was released ten years ago and has always been a favorite of extreme film enthusiasts.......

Tsuruko in junior high school naturally watched the movie disc because of her reputation, and her extreme bloodline awakened. She admired this mafia boss very much at the time. Looking at it now, it is a proper black history!

"Bakaniichan! I was worried about you!"

Tsuruko put down her school bag with a bang, and viciously "scolded" the phone.

"Actually went abroad!" Junshui Ishii smiled, "It seems like Naoki-san didn't take *One Cut of the Dead* to heart at all!"

"Hmph...... I will never worry about him again!"

Tsuruko walked into the bedroom angrily, only feeling that her sincere heart was fed to Eitaro!

"Wait, Tsuruko...."

Junshui Ishii hurriedly walked in too~

When Akina Nakamori came back in the evening, she opened the light and saw Eitaro coming to welcome her happily!

"Yoshi yoshi, Eitaro was very well-behaved today too?!" Akina Nakamori touched the dog's head and said with a smile, "Is it lonely to watch the house alone?"

While teasing the dog and walking to the living room, her eyes turned, and she actually saw the pillows on the sofa in the living room scattered on the ground, and two were bitten, and the cotton was exposed......

Not to mention the things on the coffee table were also knocked over to the ground, and some tea left in the teapot was spilled out......

Seeing this, Akina Nakamori's mood rose and fell, and then she stared viciously at the dog that was still wagging its tail:

"Eitaro, what exactly did you do?!"

"Wang wang wang..... (Listen to my sophistry!)"

"I don't care, Naoki-san just left and you dare to dismantle the house?! It seems like you can't do it without a good lesson!"

"Wang wang..... Ying ying ying......"

The fur on the neck was grabbed, and Eitaro's original voice suddenly converted into ying ying ying.

Akina Nakamori mentioned the dog to the crime scene to reprimand it, and then heard the sound of Akina Nakamori's hand hitting the dog's head...... It was really miserable.....

Even Nyataro shrank into his cat nest, absolutely not daring to come out to find scolding..... although he also had part of the responsibility.

After reprimanding the dog, Akina Nakamori had to clean up the mess herself.....

She also understood that this was because Naoki Nagayama left for two days, and she was very busy, leaving early and returning late without time to walk the dog, which made Eitaro's energy nowhere to vent, so he dismantled the house~

But there is no way, still have to reprimand Eitaro, otherwise what if he gets into the habit of dismantling the house every day in the future.....

"Should I ask Maki-chan to help walk the dog tomorrow?"

Akina Nakamori thought that her work is actually quite regular now, either going to the TV station or filming MV and photos. Every time she goes to a place, it is half a day, and the little assistant is actually not that busy.

After the hygiene was done, Akina Nakamori took out ingredients from the refrigerator and started making her dinner.

Half an hour later, Akina, who made a dish and a soup, sat at the large dining table and ate alone.

Looking around, the luxurious and spacious flat still looks very high-end and characteristic, but they are all cold dead objects, appearing too quiet.

Originally when Naoki Nagayama was there, there were at least three dishes and one soup on the dining table, and it was lively when two people ate......

"After coming back, I should be able to catch up with Akina's single..."

Japan's cherry blossom season is from February to May, and "Dream and Leaf Cherry," which Naoki Nagayama gave to Akina Nakamori, is about to be released.

"I will save the first signed record for Naoki-san!" Akina Nakamori said.

"Haha, then thank you very much, Akina~"

"Naoki-san, be careful in France!"

"Eh? Why?"

"I heard that French women are all very beautiful and enthusiastic... someone like Naoki-san will be very dangerous in France!"

"......." Naoki Nagayama was speechless. "I'm not Tang Monk meat..."

"No, it's even more dangerous than Tang Monk meat!" Akina Nakamori reached out and pinched her boyfriend's face, saying quite seriously, "In short, you must protect yourself well... don't attend any strange parties!"

The two leaned on the sofa and chatted casually, looking at the city that was gradually darkening through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and then seeing the lights of the city that never sleeps, until the night grew deep~

France, Cannes.

A bay city that should have been ordinary, but is world-famous because of the Cannes Film Festival.

In a large villa along the coast, a group of big shots in the international film industry are watching the final selection of films, including directors, producers, film critics, and well-known stars.

Before the final selection results come out, this group of people is completely closed in this villa, with only one thing to do, which is to watch all the films in their entirety.

"When Father Was Away on Business is very good... observing the ordinary life of Yugoslavia from a child's perspective..."

A judge with a Russian accent recommended this movie.

"When Father Was Away on Business" is a movie describing life in Yugoslavia; during this period, Yugoslavia was still a communist country, and this movie is equivalent to a communist propaganda film.

Before the Soviet Union disintegrated, the whole world would face up to the influence of the red color... so this movie will win the Palme d'Or at this year's festival according to history.

However, others disagreed:

"Using a child's perspective, aren't there other movies? "Kikujiro," which we watched before, feels even more interesting..."

"Indeed, the plot of "When Father Was Away on Business" is average, and the shooting technique cannot be considered brilliant..." another big shot said. "Even if it's from a child's perspective, it actually appears frequently in other movies..."

"More importantly... the background of this movie is a bit sensitive..."

Other judges spoke up one after another, and for a while, the judge from the Russian-speaking system couldn't even get a word in.

Among the films participating in this year's festival, against the background of the Cold War between the US and the Soviet Union, there are more and more movies about war, and there are also many movies describing the cruelty and suffering of war, reflecting on war...

However, these movies are either related to the Soviet Union or related to the United States, as if they are competing with each other in the film field.

"Yeah, although it is said that movies have no borders, we still have to pay attention to this point when selecting..."

"It's better for film selection not to get involved in the Cold War between the US and the Soviet Union..."

"The theme of "Kikujiro" is actually more humanistic, reconciling with one's own childhood... and the mother-child affection, these are all things that can transcend culture..."

"The shooting technique is also very interesting..."

"There is a feeling of innocence and childishness... perhaps this is the child's perspective..."

Many of the judges had been lobbied, and familiar friends had recommended this movie... even the vice president of the Producers Association had specifically recommended it to the producer judges, so there were many voices of agreement.

It won a lot of praise when watching it before, and many people would use this movie as a comparison when watching other movies.

Unknowingly, the weight of "Kikujiro" in the hearts of all the judges became heavier and heavier.

"There are still a few days... we need to speed up our viewing." The chairman of the jury suggested. "At least before the opening, we must finalize all the shortlisted films..."

"Hmm, we'll make it in time!"

Immediately after, the projector in the center of the villa was changed to another movie, "Rendez-vous." This time it was a French romance film, and since it was in a French city like Cannes, it naturally made all the judges watch it attentively.

However, there are quite a few romance films in movies, especially in France, which has the title of the capital of romance; wanting to win the favor of the judges is not simply relying on beautiful bodies, but also making the judges feel the touch of the soul!

Amidst everyone's expectations, a tangled love triangle unfolded again...
