Chapter 839
Walking out of the airport entrance, what catches the eye is the transparent blue sky, and the clouds in the sky also look so clean.
Following the start of the taxi, Naoki Nagayama saw even more distinctive European-style buildings; small houses scattered like stars gathered together in the old port area. These buildings withstood the long-term sea breeze, as if wrapped in a layer of salt...
Facing the ceaseless sea waves day after day, emitting the scent of spices and coffee.
A little further ahead, they arrived at the hotel Naoki Nagayama was to stay in today—the Hotel Barrière Le Majestic, only a two-minute journey from the Cannes Film Festival Palace.
"Finally here!"
Yuko Tanaka looked at the white marble building in front of her and couldn't help but sigh. Even in first class, a flight journey of more than twenty hours is very tiring.
"Yeah, we're here!"
Naoki Nagayama seemed quite refreshed; a young body is indeed able to withstand the tossing, even on the plane he could sleep very soundly, and now he is even more full of vitality.
And Shuichi Itang on the other side was different; the tired middle-aged man said:
"Let's check in quickly... and have a good sleep!"
Naoki Nagayama looked at the sun in the sky, a bit incredulous:
"Shuichi-san, it's only ten o'clock, are you going to sleep already... are you planning to sleep through the whole day? Don't you want to go see the beautiful scenery of Cannes? And the culture of a foreign land, delicious food..."
"Isn't it just a small seaside town!" Shuichi Itang walked towards the hotel lobby without looking back, saying as he walked, "Seawater, seafood, foreigners... isn't Tokyo's Minato Ward just like this? What's there to see!"
"In short, I'm exhausted, I must have a good rest today!"
Naoki Nagayama and Yuko Tanaka looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh; Shuichi Itang should be considered middle-aged now.
Then he said to Takuya Fujiki and Naoto Fujiki who came together, as well as other main creators:
"Minasan, let's check in first! Those who want to rest can rest on their own later, and those who want to go out for a stroll can also go on their own... but it's best not to go too far, and it won't work without a translator!"
"Hi~"
There were eight people who came to the Cannes Film Festival this time; besides the actors, there were also behind-the-scenes staff and translators.
The hotel they stayed in was an official partner of Cannes, with very good facilities and a lot of experience in receiving tourists from all over the world... more importantly, Naoki Nagayama had already seen many international stars and artists who looked very familiar.
Arriving at his room, seeing that there was only one room, and there was only one bed, a TV, and a small counter inside... Naoki Nagayama sighed...
This was the first time staying in a regular standard room abroad... people in the entertainment industry are either rich or noble, and high-end suites and presidential suites had already been booked early, and couldn't be bought even with extra money.
Opening the suitcase, hanging up the suits, and taking out the toiletries... just after settling the luggage, the door of the room was knocked on.
Opening the door, he saw Yuko Tanaka, who had already put on a sun hat and sunglasses, standing at the door very happily:
"Naoki-san, let's go for a stroll!"
"Hmm, wait a moment!"
Naoki Nagayama turned around, picked up his camera, and followed Yuko Tanaka downstairs. The two had already discussed on the plane that they would have a good stroll in Cannes... this is not Tokyo, basically no one knows the two of them...
Although it sounds a bit ambiguous, heaven is the witness, Naoki Nagayama and Yuko Tanaka are really just good friends in his heart, and both of them have people they like.
"Does Naoki-san speak French?" Yuko Tanaka walked in front, looking for directions very excitedly.
"No... but I know a little Italian; speaking English in Cannes should be no problem..." In this small seaside town famous for its film festival, there must be many people who speak English, so Naoki Nagayama was not worried.
"That's good~" Yuko Tanaka used the travel brochure in her hand to find the direction. "Let's go to the old town for a stroll first! And then go to the Bay of Cannes~"
"Hmm!"
Saying that, the two headed towards the densely built area.
Some people say that the old town of Cannes is the most charming place in this city; this southern French city has a long history, and the buildings all maintain the characteristics of the Middle Ages.
The ancient and magnificent castle highlights the weight of history, the brick and stone mixed buildings shine in the sun, full of European style, and there are various European-style small houses, narrow stone streets...
Passing through the artistic neighborhood, you can soon walk to the Castle Museum, climb high and look far, blue sky, blue sea, beach, palm trees... beautiful seaside scenery.
The collection in the museum is very extensive, with various 19th-century musical instruments, paintings, and cultural relics, all of which can take people through time.
Naoki Nagayama said directly:
Yuko Tanaka had a little sweat on her forehead, but her state was still very energetic, asking while walking in the museum.
"As for the Man in the Iron Mask, it seems to be in another monastery on the outer sea..." Naoki Nagayama had learned about the history in advance. "But whether the Man in the Iron Mask is really Louis XIV's twin brother, no one knows... there are rumors that it was his biological father~"
"Haha, how mysterious!"
The two walked to a larger storage room, and there were actually Egyptian sarcophagi, dried corpses of African natives... and this somewhat brave big sister actually wanted Naoki Nagayama to help her take a photo with the African native brother...
"Yuko-san, are you really not afraid of having nightmares at night?"
"Che~ this is no different from a mummy, what's there to be afraid of!" Yuko Tanaka said with disdain, and then very much despised Naoki Nagayama's cowardice.
With the attitude of chatting and traveling, Naoki Nagayama and Yuko Tanaka walked out of the museum and came all the way to the long-famous Promenade de la Croisette, where they could enjoy seaside food and wine even more.
Without Naoki Nagayama, life in Tokyo was still busy, and the world did not stop turning.
Under the fermentation of these two days, the heat of "One Cut of the Dead" had completely erupted, and the audience's evaluation of this movie had become even more polarized under the promotion of those with ulterior motives.
There were even film critics who publicly called on everyone in the newspaper not to watch this movie, saying that he himself left after watching for less than half an hour.
"No matter who made the movie, if it doesn't even have the desire to make people keep watching, then it can only mean it's a bad movie!"
"The newspaper said the first part is just foreshadowing...." Companion Yuta Miyake said, "It should be that the first half hour makes people unable to see clearly!"
"Hmm.... it says that if you keep watching, you will find surprises....."
"After all, it's Naoki Nagayama's movie, it won't be too unbearable no matter what."
Yuta Miyake has great confidence in Naoki Nagayama. Speaking of which, from high school to university now, his age of truly watching movies is almost filled with the name Naoki Nagayama.
Starting from the second work *A Scene at the Sea*, this guy has almost become Naoki Nagayama's fan.
Similarly, among the college student group, there are many who are optimistic about Naoki Nagayama.......
"Speaking of which, the school's film club seems to be organizing an activity...... which is to watch the premiere." Yuta Ito said.
"Eh? Is the film club that rich?"
"Hmm, it seems like they negotiated a group discount with the cinema......" Yuta Ito continued, "Yuta, let's go watch it together!"
"Yoshi, let's call other friends too!"
"Good!"
The two discussed the next arrangement while walking towards the Waseda University teaching building.
The two of them didn't notice at all that two girls were whispering behind them~
"Tsuruko Tsuruko...... *One Cut of the Dead* is Naoki-san's new movie, right?" Junshui Ishii asked while holding Tsuruko Nagayama's arm, "Do you know what's going on with the half hour?"
"Of course I don't know!"
Tsuruko shook her head. Although she occasionally calls her brother, most of them are chatting about daily life and gossip..... What is there to chat about formal work?
Just like Naoki Nagayama wouldn't ask about her grades....... You know, that's very annoying!
"Just know it's a zombie movie......" Tsuruko Nagayama guessed, "The first half hour, maybe it's very bloody and unbearable!"
"Oh? Tsuruko doesn't know either?"
Junshui Ishii's eyeballs turned,
"Since that's the case, Tsuruko, let's go watch it together!"
"Just the two of us?" Tsuruko Nagayama asked.
"Of course we have to bring those two guys!" Junshui Ishii has been having a conflict with Taiyang Iwai recently, and this can be considered giving a step down for him too,「Anyway, there are zombies, it must be a horror movie..... I don't dare to watch it alone!"
"........ Qi, you just want to make up with Senior Iwai!"
"Lueluelue, so what!" Junshui Ishii didn't pretend anymore, "There is no overnight conflict between lovers!"
"Heh.... love brain!" Tsuruko said disdainfully, saying the vocabulary she heard from her brother.
Junshui Ishii naturally refused, and played with Tsuruko on the tree-lined path, startling a piece of spring color~
"By the way, speaking of which......" After playing for a while, Junshui Ishii stopped panting, "Why has Senior Kanda never quarreled with Tsuruko?"
"Hmph, we have a good relationship, we are very compatible, can't we?" Tsuruko became arrogant instantly..... Since they started dating, Dalu Jin Tian can be said to be obedient to her,
Even if there is a sign of anger, he is the first to apologize......
This is very rare in Japan where male chauvinism is rampant! It fully demonstrates what is called deep love......
"Kikushou....."
In fact, every time Dalu Jin Tian wants to get angry, Tsuruko's identity as the only young lady in the third generation of the Yamaguchi-gumi leader's direct line will jump out to persuade.......
"If you make her unhappy, you will win a best viewing seat in Tokyo Bay", "Her own brother is still a rich and powerful celebrity", "If you make her cry during the day, a group of tattooed men in suits will make you cry yourself at night".......
Then, a strong figure will appear in his mind...... The impression of the first time he saw Feng Nagayama was too deep!
In the end, Dalu Jin Tian began to PUA himself,
"Perhaps, this is the price of dating a young lady", "Anyway, Tsuruko is also very cute and kind-hearted~", "I am trapped by Tsuruko in this life, accept my fate!", "I will definitely be happy in the future~"
This created a top-ten boyfriend who was obedient!
So how to create a top-ten boyfriend? Everyone knows it now~
Crowds of people went out and came in from the Toei building. Some were for movie projects, some were for account settlement, and some were many young people with dreams who wanted to get on Toei's big ship.
However, it should have been one of the top old-fashioned film production companies in Japan, but in the past few years, it seems to have been suppressed by a dark horse. Not to mention that it hasn't won any major awards, even the box office and movie production speed have been far exceeded.
"Sigh.... the third day Naoki-san went abroad..... missed him again~"
"However, today should have arrived~"
You can't call on the plane, but you can call back after arriving in Cannes.
Cannes is UTC+1, Tokyo is UTC+9, so now....
Akina Nakamori looked at the clock, it was already 20:00..... then it should be just noon over there.
Naoki Nagayama and Yuko Tanaka found a small restaurant by the beach and ate the local specialty stew and grilled dogfish, and incidentally drank a large glass of wine~
Just when they were going to continue playing on the beach in the afternoon, Naoki Nagayama looked at the time:
"Yuko-san..... it's about night in Tokyo now, I have to report safety...."
"Eh?" Yuko Tanaka looked at Naoki Nagayama very surprised, "I didn't expect Naoki-san to be such a good man who cares about his family? Is it reporting safety to your little girlfriend?"
"Haha, yeah~" Naoki Nagayama didn't have the shyness of ordinary young people, and said with a hearty smile, "Having someone who worries about you, this intention must be cherished~"
Yuko Tanaka looked at the hearty smile on Naoki Nagayama's handsome face, only feeling a jump in her heart, not knowing whether it was impacted by this kind of free and easy, or moved by this kind of seriousness about feelings, only feeling that the young man in front of her was so pleasing to the eye.
"Naoki-san!"
Naoki Nagayama was turning his head to look for a place to make an international long-distance call, and suddenly heard this call, a bit strange,
"Yuko-san, what's wrong?"
Yuko Tanaka walked to his side and patted him heavily on the shoulder:
"When you meet other girls in Cannes, try to smile less! Otherwise, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble!"
"???" Naoki Nagayama was confused.
Yuko Tanaka didn't explain much, turned and strode forward:
"Let's go, I also have to report safety to my family! Look, there seems to be a phone booth over there...."
"Er.... can the phone booth in Cannes call Tokyo....." Naoki Nagayama followed suspiciously. He was originally thinking of finding a place that could make international long-distance calls.
"Moshi Moshi, this is the Nagayama house."
As Akina's voice came out of the receiver, a smile appeared on Naoki Nagayama's face,
"Akina, it's me!"
"Ah, Naoki-san!" Akina Nakamori, who was on the sofa, sat up happily. She had been waiting for this call for a long time, "Have you arrived in Cannes?"
"Hmm, arrived a few hours ago, but at that time I thought Akina might not have returned home, so I didn't call." Naoki Nagayama said gently, "So I called until now."
"Hmm hmm~" Hearing her boyfriend's voice, Akina Nakamori was very happy, where would she care about those small details, "Naoki-san's flight these days was very hard, right?"
"Not really...." Naoki Nagayama smiled, "I slept very well in the first class!"
"That's good~"
"How is home? Did Eitaro make trouble?"
"Made trouble! I tell you....."
Akina Nakamori hurriedly told what Eitaro did today, making the dog on the side not dare to make a sound.
And Naoki Nagayama on that side also listened unhurriedly, without any impatience, and told Akina Nakamori about his initial knowledge of Cannes, and only hung up the phone reluctantly at the end.
This call lasted for almost an hour, which stunned Yuko Tanaka on the other side:
"Naoki-san...... I remember you and Akina Nakamori have been dating for almost two years, right?"
"Hmm, about two months left for two years.... what's wrong?"
"Should have passed the hot love period, right? Can you still make such a long phone call?"
Yuko Tanaka thought of herself. Now the relationship with Kenji Sawada has entered a flat period..... Ah, no, the underground affair is actually quite exciting, but she really couldn't say so many words on the phone.
"The hot love period should be at least three hours of phone calls every day..... this time it's just that we haven't contacted for three days."
Naoki Nagayama smiled, paid the money and led Yuko Tanaka out of the telephone bureau. The phone booth really couldn't make international calls.
"It's really enviable~ Young is good!" Yuko Tanaka sighed. Young people's love is indeed more energetic than her age!
"What is Yuko-san saying! You are also a young person, and you are beautiful and energetic!
Just now when walking on the beach, many people were peeking at you!"
Naoki Nagayama smiled. Although Yuko Tanaka is already thirty, she looks young, her body is graceful, and she is well-maintained. Her delicate and smooth skin is full of collagen, looking like she is only in her early twenties. Walking on the beach in cool clothes is a landscape.
"It's really enviable~ it's good to be young!" Yuko Tanaka sighed; young people's love is indeed more energetic than someone of her age!
"Haha, good~"
Yuko Tanaka's mood became happy again~ ===== CHAPTER 840 =====
Then his hand reached into Akina's pajamas and touched the soft and smooth skin.....
"Naoki-san!"
Akina's face turned redder, and she pressed her boyfriend's hand,
"I want to ask, how many children does Naoki-san want in the future!"
