Chapter 847: The celebration party has finally begun!!

By the end of May, the ears of people in Tokyo were full of news about Naoki Nagayama, and they also knew one thing...... this youngest Palme d'Or winner was going to hold a luxurious celebration party.

No sponsorship, no advertising, no gift money, it was entirely paid for by Shuyou, inviting guests to attend, held in the evening at the Tokyo Prince Hotel.

It's like the wealthy families of the old era having some happy event, and they would set up a flowing banquet for three days and three nights. Besides celebrating, they also had the intention of showing off their wealth~

However, the number of places for this celebration party is limited, and it is not easy to get in.

As the protagonist, Naoki Nagayama came to the Tokyo Prince Hotel at noon, and also brought Akina Nakamori with him....... Although they are not married yet, Akina naturally has to play the role of the hostess in this situation to help receive guests.

What's more...... there are important guests in the big hotel!

"Father, Mother, Eldest Brother, Xiangjia-jie......." Naoki Nagayama walked to the suite of the Tokyo Hotel and met his parents and eldest brother's family who rushed from Shizuoka, "Is the road smooth?"

"Nagayama-san, Nanaiko-san....." Akina Nakamori also greeted this family with a smile.

This family was picked up from Shizuoka by a van sent by Shuyou. Now Shanyingyuan is under renovation, and the top-floor apartment of the 80 Building is not convenient, so they were directly placed in a suite at the Tokyo Hotel.

"Hai, no problem at all!"

Nanaiko Nagayama looked at her son happily, and then greeted Akina Nakamori next to her.

Naoki Nagayama walked to the youngest child of the Nagayama family, watching Yecao turning somersaults on the bed in the suite, and couldn't help laughing:

"Did Yecao cry either?"

"Not at all~" Xiangjia Nagayama smiled and responded, "She has been particularly excited since she got up in the morning, and she has been very happy all the way...."

"What a brave little guy!"

Naoki Nagayama teased her and then started talking to his father and brother~

"Is the celebration party held in the evening?" Eldest brother Aoki inquired.

"Hai~" Naoki Nagayama nodded, and then looked at the two and said, "Today, Father and Eldest Brother will sit at the most central table...... Brother Feng and Hezi will also come...... That table is all relatives."

"Hezi will be able to come in the late afternoon..... She still has classes today...."

"Ah, by the way~" Naoki Nagayama looked at Akina who was talking to her mother, "Akina's mother Chieko will also come...... and Akina's sister....."

Although the two are not married yet, they have met their parents, so Naoki Nagayama originally wanted to invite the Nakamori family.

However, Akina didn't agree, saying that the first meeting between the two families shouldn't be so sloppy, and only invited the women in the family...... In this era, if there is no man in charge to come forward, it is not considered a formal meeting.

"I see....." Father Ken Nagayama nodded~

There is still a long time before the celebration banquet starts. This family chatted in the suite for a while, until Riko Hayano came forward:

"Naoki-san, Ma Sai asks you to go over!"

"Ah, okay~" Naoki Nagayama nodded, and said goodbye to his family, "Minna-san, I'll go over first......"

Then he looked at Akina who was playing with Yecao, and shook his head:

"Akina, why don't you play with Yecao for a while, and then come down when it's about to start?"

"Hai~~~" Akina agreed very happily!

After arriving at the banquet hall, Naoki Nagayama found that Ma Sai and Yin Tang were talking to the workers building the stage.

"Ma Sai, Yin Tang-san..... what's wrong?"

"Naoki-san~" Ma Sai turned his head, "It's the rehearsal..... Let's go over the rehearsal of the performance group one last time before people come!"

"Uh..... okay~"

Naoki Nagayama didn't think there would be performances, but Ma Sai and Yin Tang strongly requested performances, and they also invited the most famous pop singers recently......

Relying on Shuyou's fame in the entertainment industry, they invited the recently popular band The Checkers, the band Anzen Chitai, and Southern All Stars, etc., and besides that, there were other pop singers........ The scene was similar to the year-end performance.

Taking advantage of the fact that the banquet hall was empty, the three giants of Shuyou watched their rehearsal together. After all, when it started, they wouldn't have the chance, as they all had to welcome guests.

Time passed quickly, the preparation work for the banquet hall was completed, and the banners and colored flags outside the Tokyo Prince Hotel were also hung up. As the sun gradually slanted down, the media reporters began to arrive first, and then others came one after another~

"Naoki-san~"

Akina Nakamori, who had changed into a dress, stood to the side, preparing to welcome guests with Naoki Nagayama.

"Akina, how are Mother and the others?"

"They have changed their clothes and sat in their seats....." Akina Nakamori said somewhat nervously, "Hezi has also come."

"Is Hezi alone?"

"Mm....."

Naoki Nagayama sighed. This sister of his actually didn't even bring a boyfriend..... Mother still wanted to see Hezi's boyfriend~

"Akina, are you nervous?" Naoki Nagayama tilted his head and looked at his girlfriend.

"...... A little~"

Akina Nakamori is a star who has held concerts. Her nervousness is not because she has to welcome others, but because of the identity of the hostess.

"What if I don't recognize them...."

"Haha, just smile~" Naoki Nagayama's mouth curled slightly, "I basically don't recognize them either! But Ma Sai and Yin Tang-san are there...."

Ma Sai and Yin Tang next to him kept shaking their heads. Their president is good everywhere, but he is not enlightened in social interaction...... Usually, besides friends he knows, he doesn't contact others at all.

As time passed, more and more guests appeared, most of whom Ma Sai and Yin Tang saw and stepped forward:

"President Sugiki..... thank you very much for coming...."

"Department Manager Koji, welcome welcome..... come come, this is the president of Shuyou, Naoki Nagayama....."

"Professor Daiji~"

"......"

And Naoki Nagayama could only greet these guests he knew or didn't know with a smile.

"Arigato~" "Thank you for coming...." "Please sit inside...."

Akina Nakamori also bowed and greeted, and when she met female guests, she would also exchange a few polite words~

Presidents of partner companies, veteran big shots in the entertainment industry, well-known artists, committee members of various film associations, and even members of the Diet......

Later, Manager Takano from Fuji TV, Manager Kotaro Sakai from the production bureau of TV Tokyo, Manager Yosuke Nakano from TV Asahi, and other invited personnel came.

And people from major film production plants, including Haruki Kadokawa~

Most of the people who came were unfamiliar faces, but of course there were people he knew, such as Masaki Kobayashi and Masahiro Shinoda who came together.

"Kobayashi-san, Shinoda-san, you are here!" Naoki Nagayama stepped forward to shake hands.

"Haha, Naoki-san's celebration party, how could we miss it!" Masaki Kobayashi said with a smile, "This celebration wine can't be less!"

"Of course...... please sit inside..... good wine is prepared today~"

"Then we'll talk later!"

"Hai~"

"......."

Led by the waiters, the guests gradually filled the banquet hall, and the time for the celebration party to start was about to arrive.

The space in the banquet hall today is very large, but the number of media reporters invited to enter is not too many, all of whom are friends who are on good terms with Shuyou before.

As for media outlets that have said bad things about Naoki Nagayama or *Don't Stop the Camera! * and published negative reports, they are not allowed to enter the banquet hall.

These guys can only shoot the guests who are about to enter outside the Tokyo Hotel, hoping to shoot some well-known figures, which can be used as material.

"Sigh..... Shuyou actually dared to do this!"

Reporter Yuto Kosaka of Tokyo Sports complained to the camera boy Aito Ishizaki next to him,

"Just published a few reports...... actually can't even enter the inner hall!"

"Speaking of which, the news of Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori's official announcement was reported by us!"

Camera boy Aito Ishizaki was very calm:

"If you do something, you have to face the consequences. We published negative reports, got some exposure, and annoyed Shuyou..... then naturally there will be the current encounter~"

"But....." Reporter Yuto Kosaka turned his head and looked at the reporters on the periphery, "Everyone didn't expect Shuyou to actually dare to reject us all! Don't they want publicity and exposure for their future movies?!"

"Probably don't care~" Aito Ishizaki said, "I just saw the heads of major TV stations go in..... and they seem to be very familiar with Naoki Nagayama and the others......"

"......."

Yeah, the entertainment industry is so big. Besides them, there are many other media channels!

Now Shuyou is a hot spot, it should be them who are anxious.....

"Kishou, I heard that Naoki Nagayama is a particularly vengeful person..... It seems that it will be difficult for us to get Shuyou's news in the future!" Yuto Kosaka sighed.

"Vengeful?"

"Yeah, haven't you heard of it?" Yuto Kosaka saw other reporters looking over, and didn't mean to hide it, "The *Music Station* planned and produced by Naoki Nagayama, almost every singer in the entertainment industry wants to go on. However, one person among the male idols is not allowed to go on...."

"Eh? Could it be Masahiko Kondo?"

"Yeah, it seems that because he snatched Naoki Nagayama's advertisement when he just debuted, *Music Station* explicitly refused him to go on the show..... Now Kondo has one less important publicity channel compared to other idols, and his fame is not as good as Toshihiko Tahara~"

"......."

All the reporters who heard it sighed. This is really a big loss!

At the same time, everyone in their hearts also established a new label for Naoki Nagayama: particularly vengeful...... think twice before doing anything to him next time!!!

"Forget it, let's do this today~" Yuto Kosaka pointed to the front door, "Ishizaki-san, take more photos of Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori...... Akina Nakamori actually greeted guests as a hostess in public, which is already a piece of news!"

"Hai~~~"

In the bustling banquet hall, the main stage has been set up, and Fuji TV has also set up satellite relay equipment, just waiting for the celebration party to start, to broadcast.

In fact, it should be considered a live broadcast..... but only Fuji TV will broadcast live all the time. They specially produced a temporary program, and other TV stations plan to broadcast it, using it as material in other variety shows.

"Naoki-san, we are ready for the opening dance!"

After the front door was closed, the general director of tonight's banquet, Lin Quan, came to ask for instructions.

"Mm, then let's start~ people are almost here~"

Naoki Nagayama nodded, and then sat at the main table with Akina Nakamori, and Yin Tang and Ma Sai were also together~

Next to it are Naoki Nagayama's parents, eldest brother, and sister-in-law, as well as Brother Feng and Hezi...... There are also Akina's mother Chieko and Miho Nakamori...... Hezi is talking to Miho, they have known each other for a long time and are pen pals~

The sunset passed, the light outside the window had dimmed, and with the banquet hall lights also dimmed, everyone knew that the celebration ceremony was about to officially begin~

Cheerful music came from the speakers, and everyone in the banquet hall quieted down, starting to enjoy today's opening performance — *Mayonaka no Door ~ Stay With Me* brought by Miki Matsubara~

"

Nothing has changed (Nothing has changed)

Only the lonely shadow reflected in the window (Only the lonely shadow reflected in the window)

Stay with me…

"

Naoki Nagayama listened to the singing on stage, beating the rhythm while thinking.

City pop....... This style of music is really suitable for singing in the bubble era. It feels like a bustling city where you want to dance~

And after the performance of a song on stage, the host walked up:

"Dear guests, welcome here...... Today we gather together to celebrate Naoki Nagayama winning the Palme d'Or....."

The applause in the banquet hall sounded, and everyone expressed congratulations toward Naoki Nagayama's direction, and Naoki Nagayama also stood up and bowed to everyone.

But he didn't go on stage...... The opening speech wasn't him.....

"Next, let's invite Mr. Ma Sai of Shuyou to the stage to give the opening speech....."

Wearing a formal suit, with even his bald spot combed neatly, Ma Sai walked onto the podium with a red face and began his performance~

"Ladies and gentlemen, when I first saw Naoki-san, I knew this guy was not an ordinary person!!"

"That was on a sunny afternoon....... a performance was being held in the Pedestrian Paradise....."

"Naoki Nagayama, wearing a white shirt and jeans, walked into my sight under the sun....."

"......."

Ma Sai seems to have been holding it for a long time, telling the scene of meeting Naoki Nagayama with great emotion. Since then, Naoki Nagayama has been enlightened, and his music and film career has been flourishing.....

As if from his debut to winning the Palme d'Or now, everything has a share of his credit~

"......."

Naoki Nagayama was slightly embarrassed, and didn't know what to say for a while. Akina Nakamori next to him listened with great interest, and the smile in her eyes when looking at Naoki Nagayama was full of laughter.....

It turns out that Naoki-san had so many interesting things before his debut..... Hahaha~

The guests who came to the banquet hall were also very surprised. I didn't expect Shuyou's development history to start from a chance encounter in the Pedestrian Paradise~

After Ma Sai's speech of nearly ten minutes ended, the host finally regained the right to speak.....

"Everyone just heard many stories about Naoki Nagayama, and should be even more curious about Naoki-san..... Then, let's invite the protagonist of today, Mr. Naoki Nagayama, to the stage....."

Naoki Nagayama stood up, smoothed his clothes, and walked toward the podium with big strides.

It's finally his turn to speak! ===== CHAPTER 848 =====
