Chapter 854: Then pay it back with your body!!!

It seems that after entering summer, the rhythm of life has suddenly accelerated a lot.

But now he has to run between the studio and the new headquarters every day, and sometimes he has to go to the photography base in Ota Ward...... It seems that as the stall gets bigger and bigger, people will unconsciously get busy. Desire is piled higher and higher like this~

In previous years, Naoki Nagayama should have been avoiding the high temperature of summer in the cool eaves corridor, and then spending a leisurely day beautifully.

"It must be because Mount Zhishusangde was renovated!"

Naoki Nagayama was in the photography base in Ota Ward, complaining while eating a popsicle, finding reasons for his busyness,

"If it were still in Mount Zhishusangde, I definitely wouldn't be here watching strange blessing ceremonies!"

In front of him, a temporary sunshade shed with colorful ribbons flying had been set up, and there was also an altar table inside. The shaman wearing colorful clothes was preparing for the blessing ceremony.

Yes, it's that shaman again! The business has expanded to Ota Ward!

Today is the opening ceremony of "Squid Game"!

All the crew members, starring Yutaka Nanjo, second male lead Muwa Takewaki, villain role Kurata Yasuaki, including Tomokazu Miura, all came to the scene and were waiting under the sunshade shed.

"Speaking of which, this shaman is not young anymore, is it okay to jump god in the hot weather?" Naoki Nagayama asked Shuichi Yin Tang beside him.

"Daijobu!" Shuichi Yin Tang was full of confidence. "Grandma Murata is a person with magic power, her body is strong, jumping god won't have any problems!"

And Masafumi Otomo, who was also invited to participate on the other side, laughed:

"Don't worry, Naoki-san..... Even for the sake of such a generous red envelope, Grandma Murata will be energetic and will definitely not let the blessing ceremony fall halfway!"

"......."

Naoki Nagayama continued to eat his popsicle silently. Forget it, at least he fought for more expenses for the shaman~

After the auspicious time arrived, the shaman first paid respects to the four directions, and then after letting the director and producer of "Squid Game" offer incense, she jumped god in front of the altar table to report to the gods of all sides, and finally told everyone with heavy breathing that the gods had accepted the crew's offerings, and this filming would definitely go smoothly.......

"Thank you for your hard work, Grandma Murata!" After the blessing ceremony, Naoki Nagayama thanked the shaman as usual. "Without Grandma Murata, we wouldn't be at ease!"

Grandma Murata shaman had adjusted her breathing at this time, but her physical strength was consumed too much, and her body was a bit weak. She stood up barely with the help of her apprentice.

Looking at this guy in front of her saying beautiful words, she just wanted to complain....... If you were really not at ease, why didn't you hold a blessing ceremony before filming "Don't Stop the Camera!"?!

However, facing the gold master, she naturally couldn't say that!

"President Nagayama is joking...... This old woman just did her best. It's mainly because President Nagayama and Director Yin Tang, your own talent is overflowing, your luck is prosperous, and everything you do will go smoothly!"

"Not at all~" Shuichi Yin Tang laughed very happily. Being praised was naturally happy.

Grandma Murata turned to pull her apprentice to the front:

"However, President Nagayama, Director Yin Tang, this old woman is old, and maybe I can't communicate with gods in the future...... But my apprentice has inherited the gods worshipped by the family, and his inspiration is not inferior to mine. He even sacrificed one of his own eyes in exchange for the ability to communicate with gods from all walks of life!"

"If you need help in the future, just let him help with the blessing~"

Naoki Nagayama, Shuichi Yin Tang, and Masafumi Otomo all looked at the short and thin man beside them, and saw his eye that was shining with white light...... Sure enough, he looked like a person with a story.

"Hi, then I'll trouble you in the future!"

Masafumi Otomo nodded. He knew the rules of the rural shaman. When they got old, they would find someone who was a bit disabled to inherit the family business.

Naoki Nagayama also realized that this was a system similar to the Northeast's "Chu Ma Tang Kou"~

After the blessing ceremony officially ended, the filming of the first scene was about to begin!

In the scene set up as a subway station, the lead actor Yutaka Nanjo had to have the first confrontation with Tomokazu Miura, who played the person who selected the game participants!

"Sir, do you want to play a game with me?"

On the seat waiting for the train at the subway station, Tomokazu Miura, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, asked Yutaka Nanjo, who was dressed in sloppy clothes.

"What?" Yutaka Nanjo was a bit puzzled, and then started to mutter, "Is this some new sales method of yours? The current sales are really hard work...... Used to make harassing calls, now even pedestrians on the road start to harass....."

Tomokazu Miura didn't pay attention to Yutaka Nanjo's muttering, but opened the suitcase unhurriedly. Inside were two exquisite picture cards in red and blue, and several neat stacks of Fukuzawa Otake Yuji (), Nitobe Inazo (5000), and Natsume Soseki (1000)...... The latest version of paper money!

This made Yutaka Nanjo subconsciously stop the words in his mouth.

"Sir, have you played picture cards before?!"

Tomokazu Miura, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, took out the picture cards and explained clearly unhurriedly,

"You play picture cards with me. Every time you win, I will give you 10,000 yen!"

Yutaka Nanjo looked at Tomokazu Miura in surprise, as if he was looking at some lunatic. This kind of game of playing picture cards was only played by children:

"So if I flip your picture card over, you have to give me 10,000?"

"Yes!" Tomokazu Miura said seriously, "But conversely, if I win, you have to give me 10,000 yen....."

Yutaka Nanjo was shocked by such a game, and for a while, he couldn't believe it.

Tomokazu Miura leaned in slightly and increased the firepower:

"I'll let you attack first!"

In the game of playing picture cards, the party that attacks first has a great advantage, because it is very simple, so it is easy to win.

The down-and-out middle-aged man played by Yutaka Nanjo happened to be short of money because he borrowed usury, and was even forced to sign a body donation agreement....... It was the kind of selling kidneys......

After hearing this, he was very moved, looking at the brand-new paper money in the box and eager to move, but still didn't dare to believe there was such a good thing.

"I tell you, I'm in a bad mood today. If you play with me, I will beat you up!!!"

Tomokazu Miura smiled without saying a word.

"Then I'm really going to attack first!" Yutaka Nanjo continued.

"Which color do you choose?"

Tomokazu Miura held up the red and blue picture cards, like the red and blue capsules handed to Neo by Morpheus in "The Matrix," like the temptation of the devil~

"Pa!" "Pa!" "Pa....."

The following scenes were naturally the game of playing picture cards. According to the script, naturally, Yutaka Nanjo didn't win the first time...... However, an accident happened at this time......

Because this picture card flip couldn't be operated manually, it had to be flipped over by a real person..... In the following few times of playing picture cards, Tomokazu Miura, who should have flipped the other party over, actually didn't succeed every time........

"Try again!" "Try again!" "Please give me another chance....."

Tomokazu Miura's expression went from surprise to astonishment, and then to unconvinced......

"Hahaha~" Yutaka Nanjo, who was watching from the side, couldn't help laughing. "Miura-san, you actually don't know how to play picture cards?"

"......" Tomokazu Miura blushed. "It must be that there is a problem with this picture card!"

"Forget it, forget it, it's clear you don't know how to play!" Yutaka Nanjo said with a smile. "Come, come, anyway, the camera is facing the picture card, it will be edited later, I'll help you!"

"Pa!" Didn't flip over.....

"Haha, hand is raw..... Let me get familiar with it."

"Pa!" Still didn't flip over....

"Hehe..... Haven't played for a long time, I didn't find the angle..... Try again!"

"Pa!"......

The picture card on the ground seemed to be a silent mockery. Yutaka Nanjo couldn't hold his face! Even Tomokazu Miura on the side had a smile on his face. If one person loses face, it's losing face. If two people do it, there is a shield!!

Director Shuichi Yin Tang couldn't stand it anymore: "You two guys, you actually can't even flip the picture cards over???"

"Let me, let me!"

"Pa!" "Eh, I go?"

"Pa!" "Are you kidding me!"

"Pa!" "......."

Naoki Nagayama felt like he was watching a comedy. Three big men actually couldn't flip the picture cards over!!!

"Let me! It's not that I'm saying, you are all trash!!!"

"Pa!"......

The picture card on the ground remained motionless. At this time, the silence was deafening!!

Naoki Nagayama slowly straightened his waist and said firmly: "These two picture cards are not made well! They don't conform to scientific principles! So they can't be flipped over!"

"......."

"Pfft~" "Hahaha~" "Naoki-san can't flip it over either!" "Yin Tang-san too!" "Hehe~" "Pfft~"

The laughter seemed to be contagious, spreading in the filming set...... No one expected that the game of playing picture cards could stump so many adults!

"Yin Tang-san....." Naoki Nagayama suggested. "There are still quite a few shots.... It seems we have to find a few masters of playing picture cards...."

"Mm!" Shuichi Yin Tang nodded with a serious face.

So next, the film crew members started the "First Shuyou Film Picture Card Championship." The winner could get the opportunity to be a picture card substitute in the film..... The kind that gets paid.....

Finally...... It was Masafumi Otomo who won......

Only to see his face, which was already over fifty years old and full of wrinkles, showing a contemptuous smile: "Hehe, back in the day..... I was the picture card king within a radius of ten miles!"

After solving this accident, the first scene was able to continue.

Tomokazu Miura threw down his red picture card hard. As the camera turned, the blue picture card on the ground flipped over with a bang!

Yutaka Nanjo lost! He had to lose money!

He looked at Tomokazu Miura helplessly, because he didn't have a cent on him now.....

"Don't you have money?"

Tomokazu Miura keenly noticed it, but didn't force him to give money excessively, but instead smiled meaningfully,

"Then you pay it back with your body!!!"

"??? Body?"

Before Yutaka Nanjo could react, a slap quickly slapped over, and with a bang, it hit his face!

It stunned him!

Naoki Nagayama felt pain just watching from the side....... However, this was requested by Yutaka Nanjo. If you want to hit, you have to hit for real. Anyway, it was just a few slaps....

"One slap offsets 10,000 yen!"

A comfortable smile appeared on Tomokazu Miura's face~

Looking at this smile, Naoki Nagayama knew that the slap just now must have brought some personal grievances! Probably because Yutaka Nanjo laughed too hard just now!

"Try again!" Yutaka Nanjo was angry in his heart and said immediately!

So next, he saw a man in a suit and leather shoes slapping the face of another man in sloppy clothes every once in a while......

Soon, Yutaka Nanjo's face was slightly swollen! The anger in his heart kept rising!

Until after I don't know how many times, Yutaka Nanjo threw his blue picture card hard and flipped the other red picture card over!

He was excited, stretched his arm to return a slap!

But when he was about to reach out, his arm was grabbed by Tomokazu Miura, and then a Fukuzawa Otake Yuji was stuffed into his palm..... Tomokazu Miura's face was full of smiles that made people want to punch him:

"Lost to you, according to the rules, give you 10,000 yen~ Congratulations!"

"......."

Yutaka Nanjo forgot that the other party was a rich man...... It seems this slap couldn't be returned.......

Until the end, Yutaka Nanjo sat on the bench at the subway station with a slightly swollen face, counting the banknotes in his hand, full of joy.

He earned at least 500,000 in one day!

"Sir..... Continue to play a few different games, and you can earn big money!" Tomokazu Miura invited. "Do you want to try it?"

"Still sir..... This is pyramid selling, right!" Yutaka Nanjo was disdainful. "I'm not stupid, want me to lose the money I won today back?! I won't do it!"

At this time, Tomokazu Miura showed his true face, stood up with a serious face, and said seriously:

"Mr. Mori Takuto! You should have been chased for debt today and forced to sign a body donation agreement, right!"

"......!!!" Mori Takuto, played by Yutaka Nanjo, was full of surprise. "How do you know?!"

Tomokazu Miura handed over a business card:

"This is an opportunity to turn over a new leaf......"

"......."

"Cut!" Shuichi Yin Tang's excited voice came from outside the field. "Okay! The first scene today, passed!!!"

Hearing the director's words, the whole film crew relaxed! Everyone started to celebrate and applaud each other......

After the blessing ceremony, there was only this scene. Filming it meant that this project officially started!

There was a party for starting work today!

"Didn't expect the first scene to take so long!"

Masafumi Otomo and Naoki Nagayama, who had been on the side, sighed.

Shuichi Yin Tang walked to the two of them: "But fortunately, it has started smoothly!"

"Mm...... The lead actor also performed very well...." Naoki Nagayama looked at Yutaka Nanjo in the field, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly. "But hurry up and let him apply ice, otherwise it will be very troublesome to reduce the swelling!"

"Haha, that's true."

Shuichi Yin Tang laughed, and then ordered a staff member to convey it. Turning his head, he said to his two good friends:

"Then next, let's go back to the city center!"

"Mm...... After all, after signing the contract with TBS, we still have to celebrate well with the department manager and others!"

Masafumi Otomo nodded,

"Naoki-san, you can't escape this time!"

"...... Funny, why should I escape?"

Naoki Nagayama turned and walked toward the parking lot to drive....... Just kidding, I'm not afraid of drinking flower wine!!!

Not going before was entirely because he didn't want Akina to be unhappy. ===== CHAPTER 855 =====

"Hmm... after all, since we've signed with TBS, we still have to celebrate properly with the department head and the others!"

Otomo Yoshimura nodded.

"Naoki-san, you can't run away this time!"

"... Ridiculous, why would I run away?"

Naoki Nagayama turned and walked toward the parking lot to get his car... Just kidding, I'm not afraid of drinking and partying!!!

The reason I didn't go before was purely because I didn't want to make Akina unhappy!
