Chapter 878: Naoki... Grandpa also wants to film a movie!!!

The ancestral home in Shimizu City, Naoki Nagayama had not been here for the first time, so he was familiar with the road.

However, this time, he actually saw four people on duty at the gate... Before, there were at most two, and sometimes none at all~

"What's going on? Did something big happen at Grandpa's house?"

Naoki Nagayama parked at the gate and walked toward the main entrance.

"Kid! What are you doing here?!" One of the big men watching the gate asked fiercely after seeing Naoki Nagayama.

Naoki Nagayama was stunned by this question, "You don't recognize me?"

"Do I have to recognize you? Are you some big celebrity? Or some big writer?" The guy laughed, and then said disdainfully, "Do you know where this is! Yamaguchi-gumi!!!"

"..."

Naoki Nagayama looked carefully at the guy with a fierce face and confirmed that he hadn't seen him before. He was a bit brain-dead...

But the guy watching the gate saw Naoki Nagayama "staring" at him and felt a bit unhappy. He himself looked very sorry, and he hated handsome little fresh meat the most:

"What are you looking at, kid, you're very arrogant! I think you look pretty good, do you believe I'll sell you to a host club!"

"..." *Is it so casual to recruit little brothers now... * Naoki Nagayama shook his head. "What's your name?!"

"Huh?"

The three guys on the side were all watching the fun, and this guy rolled up his sleeves and wanted to teach the handsome guy in front of him a lesson.

But the movement at the gate had already attracted the attention of the leader, Hanada Shogo. He walked out of the guard room next to him, and his face changed after seeing Naoki Nagayama:

"Naoki Boss!"

Saying that, he pushed away the few people at the gate,

"Why did you come over?"

"I'm filming a TV series in Shizuoka during this time, so I happened to come to visit Grandpa... and then I was blocked by these... 'Four Heavenly Kings' at the gate..."

"Sumimasen, these are little brothers who were just accepted not long ago, they haven't seen Naoki Boss!"

Hanada Shogo slapped the guy who spoke first fiercely,

"You guys look clearly, this is the group leader's own grandson, Naoki Nagayama! Bow and apologize to me!!!"

"Yes!" X4... 90-degree bow!

Naoki Nagayama looked at the few people bowing and lowering their heads, let them stand straight, and then asked the guy who spoke first:

"What's your name?"

"..." Naoki Boss, my name is Hara Nijito!" Hara Nijito's face was flushed, and his face, which originally looked very sorry, became even uglier...

"Oh... answer your question just now..." Naoki Nagayama said. "I am indeed a celebrity, and also a well-known writer..."

"Also, in the future, when watching the gate, don't look down on people! That will lose Grandpa's face, do you know?"

Naoki Nagayama spoke in a very calm tone, but Hara Nijito and the other little brothers watching the gate felt great pressure and could only bow again:

"... Yes!!! We know!!! Sumimasen!!!"

Shaking his head, Naoki Nagayama greeted the embarrassed Hanada Shogo and walked inside, then asked curiously:

"Hanada-san, I remember that a lot of people were transferred from here to Tokyo before, right? How come it feels like there are more people?"

"Naoki-san is talking about those guys who went to Kaede Boss's KTV?!"

Hanada Shogo's tone became envious,

"Those guys are like fish in water in Tokyo. Now every time they come back on holidays, they are wearing gold and silver, driving famous cars and wearing famous watches... and bringing many gifts to their families..."

"Some guys even brought their Tokyo girlfriends back... and built new houses..."

"When they treat us to dinner, they are also very generous, and the cigarettes they distribute are branded goods..."

The more Naoki Nagayama heard, the more he felt a sense of *déjà vu*. Isn't that the appearance of people who came back after making a fortune in places like Shenzhen and Hong Kong in the 80s and 90s?

As the saying goes, if you are rich and don't return to your hometown, it's like walking in the night in brocade clothes.

Those guys also wore Western-style suits, black leather shoes, big sunglasses, pagers and big brothers on their waists. Every time they came back, they brought bags of gifts, and some even drove small cars...

Every time it could cause a burst of envy from the people staying in the hometown... causing the children to shout...

"Then what?" What does this have to do with the Nagayama group having more people?

"So many people saw it..." Hanada Shogo scratched the top of his head. "So everyone is spreading that you can make big money by joining the Nagayama group..."

"Hahaha~"

Naoki Nagayama understood. So many people demanded to join, right~

Although at the beginning, Naoki Nagayama's idea was to let Grandpa's side wash clean, but he had seen it in these years. Grandpa had the idea of washing clean, but his eldest uncle, Nagayama Kumahara, really wanted to be the boss of the yakuza... so he had been expanding the power of the Nagayama group.

So now the operation of the KTV is completely hosted by Kaede big brother, otherwise, with the profitability of the KTV, Grandpa's side should have gone all-in long ago~

However, Naoki Nagayama wouldn't say much about his uncle's approach now. After all, that is someone else's life, which should be decided by himself. Anyway, Nagayama Kaede already has a way out.

"However, the newly absorbed little brothers still have to be taught well!" Naoki Nagayama said. "Don't be so rude..."

"Yes, I will teach them a lesson!"

Hanada Shogo nodded. As the head of the younger brothers, this is his duty!

The way to the study was reached quickly. Naoki Nagayama thanked Hanada Shogo and pushed the door in.

I saw Grandpa, wearing a loose kimono, sitting cross-legged on a cushion in front of the tatami mat by the window, reading a book, and a pot of tea was placed on the small tea table in front of him... looking scholarly...

"Grandpa... why are you reading every time I come over..." Naoki Nagayama sat down opposite very casually and asked with a smile. "Is it because you knew I was coming, so you deliberately pretended to be very fond of reading?"

"..." Hearing this, Grandpa Hayato Nagayama was obviously shocked, and then sighed and put the book on the tea table. "Naoki, you guy... no respect for elders!"

Actually, he really didn't like reading, at most reading some novels... After all, he had been mixing in the yakuza since he was a child, who had high learning?

However, now that one of his grandsons didn't know what was going on, he had become a big writer... This made him think that his bloodline should have the ingredients of reading... So he always had to pretend in front of Naoki Nagayama...

Your writing talent also has my credit... that's probably the attitude he wanted to convey...

"Hahaha~"

Naoki Nagayama laughed very happily. As his career became more and more successful, or maybe because his grandfather was getting older, the sense of seriousness and awe from the first meeting didn't have much left.

"Are you filming a TV series in Shizuoka this time?" Hayato Nagayama asked.

"Mm, a TV series called *Midnight Diner*, which is themed around Father's izakaya." Naoki Nagayama drank a cup of cold tea. "Filming the bond between diners and chefs..."

"Diners and chefs?" A look of disgust appeared on Grandpa's face. "What's good about filming this?"

"How can there not be? In the busy and oppressive daily life, *Midnight Diner* is actually a rare place to relax!" Naoki Nagayama explained. "There will be many people who want to come here to have a good meal after a day!"

"... Might as well drink..."

Hayato Nagayama shook his head, indicating he couldn't understand, and Naoki Nagayama didn't explain too much. The older generation, after all, always had some resistance to new culture.

So he turned to talk about other things, including Nagayama Kaede's life in Tokyo...

"By the way, has Kaede big brother brought Kokoro-chan back to see Grandpa?"

"Not yet..." Hayato Nagayama seemed a bit worried. "Does that little girl know that my family is yakuza?"

At this time, Hayato Nagayama was more like a grandfather worried about his descendants' marriage~

"This... should know, right..."

After all, even if Nagayama Kaede didn't explain specifically, there were so many tattooed big men in the KTV, Kokoro Ishida should have discovered it herself.

"Hope there won't be any problems because of the family background..." Hayato Nagayama paused and looked at Naoki Nagayama. "Then... what about you, Naoki?"

"Me?"

"Does your celebrity girlfriend know?"

"Ah, Akina naturally knows..." Naoki Nagayama said. "I didn't hide it."

"That's good..." Hayato Nagayama paused, looking forward. "Then... when will you bring her over to take a look?"

Naoki Nagayama thought for a while:

"To Grandpa's side, it should be before marriage... I haven't proposed yet~"

"I see..."

Hayato Nagayama nodded and didn't ask much.

In Nihon, actually, the grandfather generation rarely interferes with the marriage of the grandson generation. Some live with their children, so they will see them when they see their parents, and it is very common to see the newlyweds for the first time at the wedding banquet.

Skipping this topic, Naoki Nagayama talked about some recent plans, including the Tokyo International Film Festival, etc., so that his grandfather could understand his career development, and also talked about Tsuruko's situation in Tokyo~

Staying in the small study for almost two hours, he was talking until his mouth was dry...

Seeing that it was getting late, Naoki Nagayama was thinking about when to say goodbye, but saw his grandfather ask a bit awkwardly:

"Naoki, you filmed a TV series about your father's izakaya..."

"Uh, haven't started filming yet~"

"That's what I mean... since you can use the izakaya as a theme..." Hayato Nagayama's tone was a bit excited. "Is it possible to use the history of our Nagayama group as a creative theme... and film a movie or TV series?!"

This idea of Hayato Nagayama had actually existed for a long time. After all, his own grandson was a well-known writer and a well-known director... If he could create a novel or film a movie with the Nagayama group as the theme... wouldn't he, Hayato Nagayama, be left in history?!

At this time, what popped into Hayato Nagayama's head were *The Tale of the Country Thieves* telling the story of Dosan Saito from an oil seller to a daimyo, *Miyamoto Musashi* about a fitness expert wandering the world with a lone sword in the Warring States period, *Kagemusha* and *Seven Samurai*...

"..." Naoki Nagayama was shocked by this idea of his grandfather. "Grandpa, do you want to be the protagonist?"

"Ahem... actually, my experience also looks very legendary to others!"

Saying humble words, his heart roared:

"Why can't there be a movie called *Hayato Biography*?!!

Naoki, my good grandson, film it! Film it!!! Grandpa also wants to film a movie!!"

"Hahaha~"

Naoki Nagayama laughed again. Since ancient times, every king, marquis, general, and prime minister has had the desire to leave their name in history... Ordinary people also have it, but they don't have the ability~

"Naoki!" Hayato Nagayama straightened his face, and his wrinkled old face turned a bit red.

But he still couldn't say any scolding words, but asked with some expectation, "Do you think it can be filmed?"

"Mm..." Naoki Nagayama thought for a while. "Actually, it's not impossible..."

After all, *The Godfather* has already been filmed abroad, so filming a Nihon version is not impossible... And Nihon also has many movies with yakuza as the theme...

If it's just to make Grandpa happy and film a family documentary, then it's easy to handle... But if you want it to sell well, there will be some problems...

"Grandpa, if you want to film a movie with Grandpa as the theme, realistic movies are naturally okay..." Naoki Nagayama said. "However, if you want it to sell well, there may be adaptations or magic changes..."

"That is to say, dramatization, the plot may be fictional, etc... Can Grandpa accept that?"

Hayato Nagayama naturally had no problem and nodded repeatedly:

"As long as the background is the Nagayama family, it's no problem! (If the protagonist's name is Hayato Nagayama, that would be even better!)"

"Then that's it..."

Naoki Nagayama thought for a while,

"Grandpa, you prepare the materials or record photos, etc. I will find time to come over these days to chat with Grandpa about the history of the Nagayama group before, to create a script..."

"Only after the script is written can we start filming~"

"Good, good, good!" Grandpa Hayato Nagayama had no problem at all, and said very diligently, "If you need a venue by then, it's definitely no problem!!! If you need people, the people of the Nagayama group can all be used, even if it's that kid Kumahara, it's no problem!"

"That's even better!"

Naoki Nagayama also nodded with a smile. Actually, when famous directors film yakuza movies, those yakuza are very cooperative... After all, yakuza also want to be famous...

I heard that when Jackie Chan filmed *Shinjuku Incident*, the local yakuza supported it by blocking the road!

Just like this, visiting Grandpa at the ancestral home in Shimizu City actually found himself a task...

Naoki Nagayama felt a bit funny when driving back~

After returning to the old house, seeing his mother preparing dinner, Naoki Nagayama didn't rush to the crew, which wouldn't start filming until after 9 o'clock.

After stroking the dog's head for a while, he returned to the bedroom and took out the notebook from the drawer, starting to sort it out.

"Yakuza movie? What kind of movie sells well?"

"*The Godfather* kind? Seems a bit too obscure... The sense of history is there, but there is no legendary quality, no fighting, action scenes..."

Naoki Nagayama thought about the pros and cons of Western gangster movies. After all, the story of the Nagayama group didn't have such a big reputation in Nihon.

Unlike countries like the United States that have only been founded for two hundred years, they have to narrate the yakuza of a generation with heavy colors. Nihon's history is much longer, and there are countless stories more famous than the Nagayama family.

"In this regard, it seems that we can learn from Korean movies... After all, they are all in the Eastern cultural system..."

In the future era, Korean movies are actually very famous for daring to film. The country relaxes movies very strictly, and movies that reflect reality can be filmed... although the main point is that I can film, but I just won't change!!!

"As for the fighting scenes... it seems that the elevator god of war scene is famous..."

The elevator god of war Ding Qing, fighting seven or eight opponents alone in the elevator, and finally won... It was very shocking to watch at the time...

And on some sound, some B station, there are all kinds of edits... with very magical music...
