Chapter 867: This game can actually be played like this!!!

The headline news of the entertainment industry experienced a very strange phenomenon.

Even though it was an explosive event that half of the entertainment industry's idols participated in, and both Akina Nakamori and Naoki Nagayama were photographed, the entire public opinion was tepid.

Even with the gossip about Naoki Nagayama hitting a reporter, it was just tepidly explained by both Nakamori and Shuyou as being due to "crowding," and they didn't notice the paparazzi blocking the way...

And then it died down!!!

Even the other participating artists and idols weren't constantly questioned in subsequent interviews... It was as if everyone had just gone to attend an ordinary party at night.

Although there was help from other agencies, the ability to suppress a public opinion storm made interested people feel the influence of this couple, Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori, in the entertainment industry and media circle.

This strange phenomenon lasted for several days before it slowly subsided, until the newspapers started promoting Yukiko Okada's new song again, as well as the new TV series "Squid Game" produced by Shuyou Film!

"Ddakji (slapping cards)... such a nostalgic game..."

Older viewers were very surprised and felt very intimate when they saw the games they played when they were young.

As soon as the first episode of "Squid Game" was released, it caused widespread discussion.

Using the most innocent games to conduct the most cruel killing games, this breakthrough creativity made the audience's eyes light up, while also feeling a little worried~

"Red Light, Green Light... This game can actually be played like this!!!"

The game of Red Light, Green Light is enduring and belongs to the games that even small children know... However, later, being discovered moving and being strafed by a machine gun, this was a bit of a childhood ruiner!

What if elementary school students now suddenly pull out a handgun while playing Red Light, Green Light?!

What? Elementary school students don't have handguns?

Even beautiful girls can pull machine guns out of their sailor suits!

In short, the broadcast of the first episode directly caused a heated discussion. For a TV series, it was definitely a good start. Shuichi Yin Tang was also full of confidence and continued to film the subsequent episodes!

And Naoki Nagayama, as the screenwriter, didn't pay attention to these discussions at this time... He had returned to Shizuoka...

He would be going abroad for more than a week later, and Akina would be going too this time, so Eitaro and Miaotaro naturally had to be entrusted to his father and mother back home again!

"Daijobu! Just leave Eitaro and Miaotaro with me!"

Mother Naizi had a smile on her face, happily scratching the dog's head. Over there, Miaotaro was still flying leaves~

"How long are Naoki and Akina going for this time?"

"Akina will be back in about a week... but I will stay a little longer, about two weeks." Naoki Nagayama said, "Besides going to the concert, I also have to handle some things in New York."

"Akina-chan is coming back first~"

"Hai, Eitaro and the others will wait for me to come back before picking them up~" Naoki Nagayama said, "I'll trouble the family for this extra time~"

"It's nothing, I also like Eitaro very much!" Mother Naizi scratched the dog's chin and said with a smile.

After the silly dog heard this, its short, thick tail wagged even harder~

Naoki Nagayama chatted with his mother in the old house for a while, and then set off for the izakaya. The izakaya had been closed for these days, and the renovation there was almost at the end. Now his father, Ken Nagayama, would go to take a look every day.

As for his eldest brother, Aoki Nagayama, he had been spending time with his wife and son at home these days~

The facade of the izakaya hadn't changed much, mainly the interior was being renovated. After Naoki Nagayama slid open the door and walked in, he found that the space of the izakaya was much larger than before.

The obstructive pillars were removed, and steel structures were used to support the house. The style of the old-fashioned building had turned into a large open space. Even though the kitchen in the middle had become an open one, it didn't make the space crowded.

Coupled with the optimization and adjustment of the design, the izakaya, which could only hold six or seven tables originally, could now hold at least ten tables, and could entertain more than twenty people when it was lively.

"Father~" Naoki Nagayama found his father, Ken Nagayama, who was helping to build kitchen utensils.

"Naoki, why did you come over?" Father Ken Nagayama wiped his sweat with a towel, "Passing by?"

"No... I'm going abroad, so I'm troubling the family to take care of Eitaro and Miaotaro~" Naoki Nagayama explained, "By the way, I came to see how the set of 'Midnight Diner' is doing."

"Yeah, it's almost finished!"

Father Ken Nagayama showed a smile. This izakaya was his life's work. After decades of use, aging and other problems were inevitable. Now everything was repaired, and there were even the most advanced kitchen utensils... He felt very happy.

Naoki Nagayama also looked around and nodded with satisfaction:

"After I come back, 'Midnight Diner' can be put on the filming schedule!"

"Yeah, before that, I'll let the izakaya reopen, so it looks like an izakaya!" Speaking of his own izakaya, Father Ken Nagayama appeared very talkative.

The two chatted here for a while, and Naoki Nagayama also went to visit his little nephew... This guy could now call Uncle Naoki very proficiently~

"Uncle Naoki... do you have a gift for Ye Zi?"

"...... Not this time~"

"Did you forget?"

"Yeah... I came in a bit of a hurry..."

"Then don't forget next time! It has to be doubled!"

"......."

A child with an old soul, is this really the son of my honest eldest brother?!

Naoki Nagayama played with his little nephew at his eldest brother's house for a while, and also talked to his eldest brother Aoki about filming "Midnight Diner" after he returned.

"Is it really no problem?" Aoki Nagayama was a little nervous, "What if I can't act well?"

"It's okay! I'm a famous director! I will teach my eldest brother how to perform!"

"That's good~"

From Tokyo to Philadelphia, there were no direct flights, so they definitely had to transfer.

Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori chose to transfer in Los Angeles, so the entire 22-hour journey could be divided into 10 and 6 hours, with waiting time for the transfer in between.

On a hot summer afternoon, the cicadas were already chirping weakly on the trees. The Shanyingyuan was surrounded by lush green bamboo, and because there was a flowing pool, it didn't feel that stuffy~

"Naoki-san, come help me!"

On the second floor, after Akina Nakamori closed the huge suitcase, she wanted to pull it down the stairs with some effort... but the stairs were still a bit troublesome.

After hearing this, Naoki Nagayama immediately walked up from the first floor and carried the suitcase down.

"This is the second one, right..." Naoki Nagayama sighed, "Why does it feel heavier than the first one..."

"Isn't Naoki-san going to stay for an extra week?" Akina Nakamori wiped her forehead, which was sweating a little, "So I have to bring more..."

Sure enough, as long as there is a female companion, there will be a lot of things to bring on a trip... Naoki Nagayama only brought one backpack when he traveled abroad years ago!

After arriving on the first floor, Akina Nakamori looked at the Shanyingyuan, which had just been renovated not long ago, and couldn't help but laugh:

"I feel like I'm moving again..."

"Aren't we coming back soon~" Naoki Nagayama said, "When we come back, the lotus flowers in the pond might be blooming!"

"Haha, how can it be that fast..."

During the conversation between the two, a small car stopped at the entrance of the Shanyingyuan and honked its horn~

"Ah, Fangze-san is here!" Akina Nakamori said after hearing it, "Naoki-san, let's go out!"

"Yeah, I'll close the door..."

After the two walked out of the Shanyingyuan, they put their luggage into the car. After Naoki Nagayama got into the car, he expressed his gratitude to Fusanori Mingxing in the front row:

"Fangze-san, you still came to see us off, thank you so much!"

Fusanori Mingxing was already very familiar with Naoki Nagayama: "Daijobu, this is what should be done!"

An artist ordering their manager around, isn't that the manager's duty!

The small car drove nimbly out of the fork and then merged into the busy traffic like a drop of water...

A few dozen minutes later, they arrived at Narita Airport in Tokyo.

"Fangze-san, after Akina comes back later, I'll have to trouble you to pick her up too..."

"Hai, I will come on time!"

After getting out of the car, Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori went directly into the VIP waiting lounge. Since it wasn't an announcement and there was no itinerary public, there were no reporters at the airport specifically coming to photograph Akina Nakamori.

However, the paparazzi who were squatting here all year round seemed to recognize the two and pressed the shutter very quickly.

"Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori... are they going out of town?" The paparazzi didn't know where they were going, but it didn't matter, the omnipotent major newspapers would definitely figure it out!

Tomorrow's headline would probably become "Akina Nakamori and boyfriend travel secretly, where is the destination?". ===== CHAPTER 868 =====
