Chapter 886: Things are done, can we go have fun?!

"Really? Ran for more than an hour in the gym?!"

When hearing the assistant's report the next day, Otomo Yoshimura opened his mouth wide, his eyes full of disbelief,

"And then called people back to record?"

"Hai, I heard that after warming up, she jogged for half an hour, and then ran fast for ten minutes before rushing back immediately."

Assistant Kie Ochiai herself is a little gossip, and when she said it, she was vivid,

"I heard that she was sweating profusely when singing for the first time, and couldn't catch her breath... just to find that... feeling of the heart beating violently..."

Kie Ochiai shared the description she heard vividly. Undoubtedly, this description of the first scene came from Shin Onodera...

"This... is also too unseemly... how can you let an artist be so unseemly..." Otomo Yoshimura suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth and scolded a few words forcefully.

And after Kie Ochiai walked out of the office, he still couldn't help laughing... He knew that Naoki Nagayama would always make a little trouble when he went to record a record.

Taking a little girl to run in the hot weather, and saying it was to find the feeling of the heart beating violently, if someone else said it, it might spread rumors of child abuse...

"This guy Naoki-san... Shizuka-chan will probably be afraid of him in the future!"

Regardless of how this strange news spread in the company, the recording work of *I Want to Shout I Love You* was finally successfully completed... In addition, after several days of editing, Naoki Nagayama's first episode of *Midnight Diner* was also considered completed.

So he came directly to the headquarters of TV Tokyo today, next to Shiba Park where Tokyo Tower is located~

"Naoki-san!"

Kotaro Sakai, the director of the production bureau of TV Tokyo, walked to the lobby to greet him after receiving the notification from the front desk,

"Long time no see..."

"Haha, so I'm here now~"

Naoki Nagayama shook hands with a smile and followed Kotaro Sakai to the guest room. The refreshing cool air swept away some of the stuffiness of the morning.

"Naoki-san has been very popular recently~" Kotaro Sakai smiled, "Did you get discovered by the paparazzi squatting when you came in?"

"Should have..."

Naoki Nagayama shrugged. The engagement event was in full swing, and Akina Nakamori was on tour, so the eyes and ears of the Tokyo media naturally aimed at him.

Anyway, when the convertible drove in, several paparazzi seemed to lift their cameras~

"Then be careful when you go out, you might be surrounded." Kotaro Sakai said with a smile. This kind of thing always happens at the door of the TV station, and he is used to it, "If you need the TV station to cooperate, please don't be polite."

"Haha, I will~"

The two chatted for a while, and finally talked about the business they came for today.

"Sakai-san, this is the first episode of *Midnight Diner*~" Naoki Nagayama handed over the videotape, "Please take a look, Sakai-san."

"Naoki-san's work, there is definitely no problem!"

Although he said it very beautifully, Kotaro Sakai still took Naoki Nagayama to a place where he could play it, and then called the backbone of the production bureau to watch it together.

Perhaps because it was almost noon, everyone's breakfast had been digested, and seeing the food production on the screen, hearing the sound of sausages sizzling on the oil, everyone seemed to smell the fragrance of that grease...

Someone couldn't help swallowing, and then looked around a bit embarrassedly~

As the screening progressed, the moving and warm little stories were told, as if there really was such a warm little diner in the middle of the night... satisfying your stomach and warming your heart in the dead of night.

The episodes weren't long, and when the screening ended, some people were still a bit unsatisfied:

"Is there no more?"

"It just happens to be the time to eat a meal slowly!" Naoki Nagayama smiled, "This is the so-called 'rice-eating drama'!"

Kotaro Sakai nodded, and seemed to confirm this label. He turned to ask others:

"Minna-san, what do you think of this TV series *Midnight Diner*?"

Someone smiled and said: "Hungry... Speaking of which, the dishes inside don't seem to have been seen in other izakayas~"

"Yeah, I want to taste that octopus sausage~" "That sweet tamagoyaki also seems good..."

"When you are hungry, of course you should go to eat spaghetti with rich flavor!"

For a time, the screening room actually began to discuss where to eat at noon~

"You guys!" Kotaro Sakai patted the table, "Discuss this TV series properly!"

This focused everyone's attention, but the content of the discussion was about the same:

"If I am hungry or feel lonely at night, I also want to watch such a TV series~"

So, this TV series *Midnight Diner* passed the test very easily... After everyone else left, Kotaro Sakai asked:

"Naoki-san, is there only the first episode now? When will the rest be edited?"

"Currently, three episodes of material have been filmed, and it is estimated that it will take two more days to edit~" Naoki Nagayama said, "At the same time, Shizuoka is still filming, and it is expected that there will be no problem filming one episode every week!"

"That's good~" Kotaro Sakai nodded, "Then we will arrange the broadcast time and the preliminary promotion."

"Hai! I will send someone to send the latest episodes every week!"

"That would be best~"

After talking about business, seeing that it was lunch time, Kotaro Sakai was not stingy:

"Naoki-san, to celebrate the smooth cooperation, let's go for a drink together!"

"Eh? Is it okay to go at noon?"

"No problem!"

Kotaro Sakai smiled and pulled Naoki Nagayama out. As one of the five major TV stations in Japan, TV Tokyo would not lack this little hospitality fee anyway!

When returning to Shanying Yuan again, it was approaching dusk.

Naoki Nagayama got off the taxi, took the key to open the door, and walked into the low-key and restrained Shanying Yuan.

Looking at the public building hidden in the green bamboo, and the flowers and landscape ponds in the courtyard, Naoki Nagayama was quite moved...

"Although Shanying Yuan has been renovated, it seems that I have spent much less time here..."

Drinking with people from TV Tokyo, those alcohols didn't count for much to Naoki Nagayama, and he was still clear-headed until now... but he was still a little tipsy more or less.

Poured a glass of water, drank it in small sips on the sofa in the living room, and then slumped on the sofa and began to think.

There are several plans for returning to Tokyo this time:

One is to edit and deliver *Midnight Diner*, two is to record *I Want to Shout I Love You*, three is to prepare for the Tokyo International Film Festival...

Looking at it this way, it seems they have all been completed!

Ah, right, I also did an additional question, determining the heroine of *101st Proposal*...

"It seems... nothing left?!"

Naoki Nagayama was quite happy like an elementary school student about to have summer vacation. It seems that after the final exam is completed, the next step is the time to play crazy!!

As for what summer homework, what kind of thing is that? Fools don't do it! The teacher doesn't even look at it when it's handed in at the beginning of the semester, and it's sold directly as waste...

"So... can I start having fun?!" Naoki Nagayama was eager to try in his heart...

"Where to play? Who to play with? What to play?" where, who, what...

Then Naoki Nagayama found that he seemed to have no interest in entertainment such as nightclubs and clubs... Anyway, it seems that every time he goes, he listens to music and drinks... Then it's better to be in his own bar...

Oh... you mean young ladies?

That... is not impossible...

His hand reached for the phone on the side and dialed quickly:

"Brother Kaede? Let's go out and have fun tonight! Don't go to your KTV, let's find a newly opened nightclub!"

"Okay, that's settled, you also call one or two friends!"

"Mm mm mm!"

Just like that, Naoki Nagayama and someone reached an indescribable agreement~

"However, I drank alcohol at noon... I don't seem to be able to drive at night..." Naoki Nagayama thought of this problem, and then clapped his hands, "Right, don't I have a full-time driver!!! Let me find his phone number... is it Toda Tomoyasu, right!"

Even in the hot summer, the temperature at night is not that high.

People who have been trapped in the room all day by the hot weather finally started to come out to have fun at night~

Elderly people stroll in parks and by the river, and young men and women head toward nightclubs and bustling commercial streets... As for children, they don't seem to be afraid of heat during the day, and they don't let go of the TV at night...

In a booth of a club in Roppongi, Naoki Nagayama and Kaede Nagayama were drinking and chatting:

"Brother Kaede, I didn't see Uncle when I went back this time~"

"Father probably went to Kobe... He has been running to the headquarters of the Yamaguchi-gumi during this time..." Kaede Nagayama curled his lips, seeming to be dissatisfied with his father, "Even though the KTV is so profitable, why does he always want to drill into the mud of the Yakuza!"

Now Kaede Nagayama has completed the transition from a little gangster to a capitalist. The huge profits from KTV have made him completely look down on the little profits of the Yakuza before.

After all, where can illegal income like yellow, gambling, and drugs be used as happily as legitimate money?!

Why do all Yakuza bosses want to wash their hands? Isn't it because they are afraid of being liquidated, betrayed, or being overthrown in the future!

"Uncle Kumahara has spent his whole life in the Yakuza, so it's normal for him not to be able to turn around for a while~" Naoki Nagayama comforted. After all, the rise of KTV has only been less than two years, and it is normal for older people not to be able to turn around for a while.

"Next time I go back, I must talk to Grandfather properly. This matter of the Nagayama-gumi cannot be done forever!"

Kaede Nagayama sighed. The guy who was originally big and thick has now become white and wears high-end clothes, and actually has the feeling of a business boss!

Naoki Nagayama didn't say much about the "family business" over there, but instead led the topic to other places:

"Right, Brother Kaede, when I went back this time, Grandfather said he wanted me to film a movie about our family..."

"Our Nagayama family?" Kaede Nagayama was surprised, "What's good about our family? We have been poor people for more than ten generations, at most a samurai..."

Looking at Naoki Nagayama's teasing expression, Kaede Nagayama finally reacted:

"You mean, Grandfather wants to film a movie about himself!!!"

"Hahaha, yeah, didn't expect it, right!" Naoki Nagayama also laughed.

"Hahaha, I really didn't expect it!" Kaede Nagayama laughed heartily, "Grandfather's ambition is not small! Then Naoki, how do you plan to film it?"

"I have already written some outlines for the script..."

Naoki Nagayama told him about the general plot of *Hayato's Legend: New World*. This story, which combines Yakuza, loyalty, betrayal, and overthrowing, is very much to the taste of his former Yakuza person. Kaede Nagayama nodded repeatedly.

"Such a movie will definitely be wonderful when filmed!" Kaede Nagayama patted Naoki Nagayama on the shoulder and poured him a glass of wine, "Naoki, film it quickly!! I will definitely go to the cinema to watch it! I will also call everyone in the KTV!"

A smile also appeared on Naoki Nagayama's face:

"Maybe when it is released, Grandfather will let everyone in the Nagayama-gumi go to watch it!"

"Hahaha, there is indeed this possibility!"

The two brothers laughed non-stop about this point, drinking wine as if celebrating.

After a while, Naoki Nagayama asked:

"Speaking of which... if we want to film it, who will play the young Grandfather is a problem..."

"Brother Kaede... you and Grandfather are carved from the same mold. If you play it, it couldn't be more appropriate!" Naoki Nagayama looked at his cousin and said, "It's just that I don't know if you want to continue acting?"

"..."

This sentence made Kaede Nagayama silent. Do you like acting? Of course!

It was precisely because of the role of Serizawa Tamao that he had his first pot of gold, which allowed him to come to Tokyo from that rural place in Shimizu, Shizuoka... and then coincidentally possessed his current achievements.

However...

"Naoki, did you forget? I said I would retire after *Crows Zero 2*!"

The Yakuza of this era still attach great importance to promises. Since he said so in front of the camera, he actually planned to do so in his heart!

"Hahaha~" Naoki Nagayama patted his cousin on the shoulder, "Brother Kaede, you are really not suitable for the entertainment industry!!"

What kind of place is the entertainment industry?!

Only look at traffic, only look at heat... Who cares what you did before, what you said?

"Brother Kaede, haven't you seen that so many celebrities who said they would retire have finally debuted again!" Naoki Nagayama explained with a smile, "Those who truly retire are those who don't get attention even if they come out again!"

For those guys with heat, wanting to retire is impossible... Even idols like Momoe Yamaguchi who want to retire wholeheartedly will still have reporters taking pictures near her house decades later!

"Is that so?"

Kaede Nagayama turned his wine glass and thought seriously,

"But I promised Kokai-chan to focus on the company..."

Seeing his cousin's hesitation and expectation, Naoki Nagayama found an excuse for him:

"Just say Grandfather requested it, isn't it? It's about Grandfather's reputation... ah no, family reputation!"

In this era, if you say something about family, your wife will definitely agree... Otherwise, you will be said to be an unvirtuous wife... Besides, Kokai Ishida and Kaede Nagayama are not married yet!

Kaede Nagayama thought about it, but still felt he wanted to appear:

"Then I'll try it!!"

"Hahaha, that's good! No one is more suitable to play the young Grandfather than Brother Kaede!" Naoki Nagayama nodded. After persuading Brother Kaede, he didn't need to hit his own brother Aoki's idea!

These two guys did inherit Grandfather's big and thick physique...

After making this decision, Kaede Nagayama seemed to have opened a shackle, his mood improved, and he took Naoki Nagayama to have fun in the club...

Called several young ladies to accompany him, and the drinking friends he contacted also arrived. Everyone chatted about gossip while starting to drink~ ===== CHAPTER 887 =====

After making this decision, it was as if Kaede Nagayama had also unlocked a shackle; his mood improved, and he began to live it up at the club with Naoki Nagayama...

He called over several hostesses, and then his drinking buddies arrived as well; everyone started drinking and chatting about gossip~
