Chapter 880: Is this still his own child?
The venue in Nagoya was crowded with people, following the melody of the music, even the high temperature in August might not be as enthusiastic as the passion in the venue...
Having experienced performances in five cities, the national tour itinerary had already passed almost one-third, and today's station was Nagoya in Aichi Prefecture...
"
You are so cunning, this mature method.
A sigh is hypnotizing me again.
I want to go back but I can't, my feelings are contradictory.
Bewilderment is already love, it's almost the forbidden zone.
"
Akina, singing *Forbidden Zone* on stage, had fine beads of sweat on her cheeks, and her hair was stuck to her damp forehead. Even her makeup was a bit smudged, but her exquisite features became more and more bright...
Although it was very hot, her singing was as stable as ever, and the passion in her heart was no weaker than the external atmosphere~
"Minna-san... Arigato!"
Akina Mori, standing on the stage, thanked the fans for their support,
"Thank you all for coming to listen to my concert in such hot weather... The next song is *SAND BEIGE -To the Desert-*..."
The fans under the stage were already too excited to speak after watching the idol's singing...
Many young people saved their pocket money for half a year just to come to the scene to see their idol's concert.
And now that they saw it, Princess Akina on the stage was indeed Saikou!!!
The sun outside slowly slanted down, and when the sky was full of red clouds, the encore sound in the inner field gradually lowered... Akina Mori's tour in Nagoya also ended perfectly~
Two hours of singing made her exhausted, but Akina Mori backstage was still very energetic... while removing her makeup, she asked Maki Ueda:
"Maki-chan, is the car outside arranged?"
"Yes, it's waiting in the parking lot downstairs..." Maki Ueda was tidying up the things backstage, looked up at her artist, "However, it's better to wait a while..."
"The fans outside the venue are still staying. If they see Akina's car at this time, it might cause a stampede... Mingxing-san arranged a decoy car, so it's better to wait for an hour until the people disperse..."
"Decoy car..." Akina Mori pursed her lips, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, thinking the name was very interesting. "It's really like a spy movie!"
"Yes, isn't it just a battle of wits and courage~"
Every concert has this situation. Fans who come for Akina Mori always want to see their idol one more time, so they will try to guard the car that Akina comes out in.
They had tried methods like using different cars for the front and back doors, hiding in trucks, driving away quickly, etc., but there were too many fans now. Besides those in the venue, there were many fans on the periphery... It was easy to cause accidents.
So the departure measures had now been upgraded to using decoy cars, creating the illusion that Akina had already left. Only when the people in the venue slowly dispersed would Akina Mori's true self finally leave... minimizing the probability of accidents.
"Sigh..." Akina Mori leaned toward the small fan to blow the cool wind. "The car to Shizuoka will take more than three hours... If we get there, it will be past nine o'clock at night..."
"The night highway can be driven faster, it will definitely arrive before nine!" Maki Ueda persuaded. "It won't delay the filming of *Midnight Diner*!"
"..."
*Am I worried about missing the filming? * Akina Mori complained in her heart. *Clearly, I'm anxious to see Naoki-san! *
"Akina-chan, do you want to eat something first?" Maki Ueda took out the prepared food box. "It will be a long time..."
"No appetite..." Akina Mori shook her head, suddenly looking forward to it. "If I eat an ice cream, it's still okay..."
"Akina-chan... have to maintain your figure!"
Maki Ueda said, and even looked at the "little mouse" on Akina's bare arm... Who would have thought that Akina Mori's slender figure was actually a muscle girl?!
"Daijoubu!" Akina Mori was full of confidence. "Just one ice cream, won't get fat!"
Completely forgetting the fat Akina of the past...
Time moved forward a little bit, this afternoon~
In the old house in Shizuoka, Mother Nanako looked at Naoki Nagayama's room from the stairs with some worry.
"What's going on, he hasn't come out all day..."
He ate something when he got up in the morning, and had lunch downstairs at noon. Except for these two times, Naoki Nagayama had been in his room, as if he was writing something...
"When he was studying, he wasn't this diligent in doing homework!" Mother Nanako touched Eitaro who came over. "How come now that he's grown up, made money, and has free time... he's actually started to study seriously?"
You know, even when it was time for the final exam, her two sons had never stayed in the room for a whole day. Every day they were thinking about watching TV or going out to play... How come now that they are grown up, made money, and have free time... they are actually staying at home?!
Mother Nanako, who was increasingly curious, took watermelon from the full refrigerator. Come to think of it, it was bought only after Naoki Nagayama returned to the old house. The old couple couldn't bear to buy so much fresh fruit.
After cutting and serving it, she sent it to her second son:
"Naoki... the weather is so hot, come eat watermelon..."
"Ah, Arigato!" Naoki Nagayama, who was still burying his head in writing, raised his head and rubbed his sore wrists to thank his mother. "Just thirsty..."
Then he picked up the cold watermelon and started gnawing. Writing purely by hand without a typewriter was indeed very tiring.
And Mother Nanako walked into the room and saw the manuscript paper full of writing on the desk, feeling very shocked:
"Naoki, what are you writing? You wrote so much?"
"It's a movie script." Naoki Nagayama said. "Currently, I've only sorted out the general story line... it can't even be considered a detailed outline~"
"Is the detailed outline this much?" Mother Nanako looked at the manuscript paper that was about to cover the desk and was surprised.
"This is only about 10,000 words, because it's handwritten, so it looks like a lot..." Naoki Nagayama said. "Actually, a perfect script usually has hundreds of thousands of words..."
"..."
Mother Nanako looked at her second son again in shock, and only then did she have a real sense of Naoki Nagayama's identity as a well-known screenwriter and well-known writer.
"Is this Naoki's next movie?"
"Mm... should be able to start considering it next year..." Naoki Nagayama estimated. "The second half of this year is very busy, so there should be no time to film."
"I see..."
Nanako Nagayama nodded and then silently exited the room.
For Nanako Nagayama, who didn't have much education, she only knew before that Naoki Nagayama had won the writer's award, screenwriter's award, and had very great honor...
And only now did she discover that her son could actually write so many words...
Is this still her own child?
Does my bloodline really flow with the talent of a writer?!
Naoki Nagayama, who stayed in the room, naturally didn't notice his mother's psychology. After eating the watermelon, he threw the rind away and started to perfect the script of this movie again.
This is the script of *Hayato Biography: New World* that he thought of yesterday, synthesizing the gangster movies he had seen before, and extracting the most classic plots and shots...
In this script, it is fictionalized that Grandpa Hayato met the police officer Toshio of the Sakurada Gate when he was young, but because one was in the underworld and the other in the white way, they parted ways and embarked on two different paths...
In the end, one became the boss of the Nagayama group, and one became the minister of the Sakurada Gate...
It naturally included the young and hot-blooded hoodlum, and the mutual appreciation with the upright police officer...
Street fighting for territory, the scene of the elevator god of war...
The scene of the boss colluding with the police to betray the capable subordinates, and the street pursuit...
After Hayato was slashed, he said to his friend: "I must take back what I lost!" Replicating the classic quote from *A Better Tomorrow*...
Even in the end, after Hayato took the position of the underdog, he looked at the Nagayama group members very domineeringly and asked:
"From today on, I am the leader of the Nagayama group..."
"I've finished speaking, who agrees? Who opposes?!"
This kind of very domineering shot was also completely arranged!!!
"Grandpa..." Naoki Nagayama finished writing this scene and made a *tsk tsk* sound with his mouth. "Such domineering lines are arranged for you, you should be satisfied, right!"
So many classic gangster movie shots, lines...
Naoki Nagayama naturally believed that this movie would definitely become a bestseller!
And this movie is also the experience of Grandpa when he was young, and it retains the possibility of expansion later... After the box office sells well, maybe it can film a sequel!!
You know, *Tora-san* has been filming for more than a dozen parts!
"However... when Grandpa was young, who should play it..." In Naoki Nagayama's mind, the face of Kaede big brother subconsciously floated up...
Come to think of it, although Grandpa is old, his frame is very large, and he can still see the burly look when he was young, and Nagayama Kaede, Nagayama Kumahara are really five big and three thick...
"Kaede big brother, already said he wouldn't film movies before..."
But thinking of the promise Grandpa made to give people, it seems that letting Kaede big brother perform is nothing... After all, it's his own grandfather!
If he doesn't perform, let him taste Grandpa's iron fist of love!
"Let's perfect it later!"
Naoki Nagayama organized the manuscript and put it in the drawer; there were other things to do today!
After the sun's strongest heat passed, Naoki Nagayama called Shige-nori Yamakawa at the Shizuoka pier.
"Department Manager Yamakawa, has everything been arranged?"
"Hai, I have seen with my own eyes that the fireworks boat is docked at the pier, and the glow stick floats are ready!" Shige-nori Yamakawa said confidently on the phone. "Don't worry, Naoki-san, as soon as we get your signal, we will start!"
"That's good! Today depends on you!"
"Hai!"
After hanging up the phone, Naoki Nagayama said to his mother in the Japanese-style room:
"Mother, I have something to do tonight, so I won't be back for dinner!"
"Eh? Is that so?" Nanako Nagayama was a bit surprised. "Then will you be coming back with Father tonight?"
"Hmm... I probably won't be back either!" Naoki Nagayama laughed. "I'll make do at the hotel with the crew; there are things to discuss..."
It was clearly that his girlfriend was coming and they were going to spend a good night! But he couldn't tell his mother about this...
"Okay~"
Naoki Nagayama drove his convertible and went straight to the pier... He wasn't going to inspect the event support company; he was going to confirm another surprise!
After parking the car, Naoki Nagayama walked along the pier... Behind a crowd of fishing boats and passenger ships, a white yacht that looked out of place was docked!
This yacht was rented from Dongjingwan and docked in the port of Shizuoka in advance...
There were only a few hotels in the coastal town, and now the *Midnight Diner* crew had occupied one of the best ones, plus the actors and guests who came later, almost all the mid-to-high-end hotels in the town were booked...
If Akina came, the team would also have to stay in a hotel... They couldn't be lovey-dovey in the hotel with the team members~
So, he simply rented a luxury yacht...
"Fujimoto-san..." Naoki Nagayama saw the captain, Hideyuki Fujimoto, who had driven it over, in the luxury yacht. "How is the yacht?"
"No problem at all! It's in the best condition now!" Hideyuki Fujimoto responded with a smile. "The yacht has been cleaned inside and out, and the sheets and pillowcases are brand new!"
"The refrigerator is stocked with fresh ingredients, and the wine in the wine cabinet is also good wine..."
"There is fishing gear in the storage room..."
Hideyuki Fujimoto specialized in yacht rentals. Their company owned a dozen yachts, mainly undertaking parties, marine activities, tour groups, etc. This yacht was the most luxurious medium-sized yacht in their company!
"Naoki-san, if you want to sail, it's best not to go too far from the coast..."
Hideyuki Fujimoto instructed.
"Don't worry, don't worry!"
Naoki Nagayama had been to Hawaii for vacations so many times and had even learned to dive, so what was driving a yacht? Besides, luxury yachts were basically idiot-proof...
Following Hideyuki Fujimoto into the yacht to check, the second floor of the yacht was an observation deck and cockpit, with wooden floors and an open space to enjoy the sea view.
The first floor was an indoor space, with a long sofa against the wall in the spacious living room, a small kitchen with a bar counter... and a bedroom with a bathroom at the very back...
Everything looked very clean and tidy, and the requested ingredients and drinks were all fully equipped~
"Naoki-san, this is the key to the yacht..." Hideyuki Fujimoto handed the key to Naoki Nagayama. "Then, I will come back tomorrow night to get the key..."
"Hai, Arigato~"
After giving the key to Naoki Nagayama, Hideyuki Fujimoto got off the boat and left... He would stay in Shizuoka for one night and sail the yacht back to Dongjingwan tomorrow.
Naoki Nagayama walked around the deck again. Outside was the slightly swaying seawater, sparkling in the sun, and white seabirds flew by from time to time, a scene of peaceful years.
He touched his pants pocket, and a small box was resting securely inside...
"Akina should still be in Nagoya now, right?"
"It will be a long time before I can see her~"
