Chapter 892: Goddess, are you asleep?
Originally, there would have been a celebration party after the preview ended, but Naoki Nagayama didn't go to attend it.
"Let the juniors have a good time~"
Naoki Nagayama said this to Yin Tang, which made Yin Tang, who heard this, open his eyes wide:
"Juniors? Naoki...... Masataka Komori is three years older than you!"
"......."
Naoki Nagayama was speechless for a moment....... He subconsciously calculated his previous age, looking at those twenty-five or twenty-six-year-old young people as if looking at his own green self in the past.
In the end, he could only make up reasons like his psychological age was already too steady, and talked nonsense~
In the end...... the dedicated driver Zhian Toda sent the older-generation Naoki Nagayama to the entrance of Shanying Yuan.....
"Naoki, should I come to pick you up at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning?"
"...... Change it to 10:30!"
Looking at the thin clouds and scorching sunlight in the sky, Naoki Nagayama silently changed the time. Even if he had to edit the new "Midnight Diner" tomorrow, he couldn't delay his sleeping in.
Working so hard for so many years, earning so much money, wasn't it just to be able to sleep until he woke up naturally!
"Hai......"
Arriving at Shanying Yuan, which he hadn't visited for nearly a week, Naoki Nagayama finally felt all the fatigue dissipate. At this moment, he realized how reassuring it was to have a home of his own.
After a day of scorching heat, there was a smell of some mites being roasted in the empty room, but the air was still quite fresh. The housekeeping company he paid for was still very responsible.
Walking to the small living room where he usually rested, the hot temperature made Naoki Nagayama subconsciously want to turn on the air conditioning.
"However..... I shouldn't be staying in the living room for long....."
Withdrawing his hand from the air conditioner, Naoki Nagayama actually wanted to perfect the script in the study besides resting. It seemed that turning on the air conditioner in the study was more cost-effective.
"Well, forget it...... turn them all on, it's not like I don't have money!"
Naoki Nagayama decisively pressed the switch of the central air conditioning, making the entire Shanying Yuan cool, adding a contribution to global warming....... Since he was so rich, he couldn't even bear to turn on the air conditioning? How could that be!
Walking lightly upstairs to take a shower, when he came out, the whole room had already cooled down, making him feel refreshed.
Naoki Nagayama made a cup of coffee, walked into the study, and sat down in front of the desk...... Next, it was time to bury his head in typing!
It was very quiet in the study. Except for the huffing sound of the air conditioner, there was only the clacking sound of Naoki Nagayama typing.
The afterglow shining in from the window shone on the solid wood floor, lighting up a bright golden light spot, which slowly elongated and deformed over time, turning into orange-red......
The black piano in the corner, the books and papers in the bookcase, and the white gauze curtains by the window were all silently accompanying the work of the study's owner.
Occasionally, branches of cherry trees would peek out by the window and shrink back into the dense green leaves in a flash, wanting to see what the person inside was doing, tireless~
As one of the most well-known music shows in the entertainment industry, "Yoru no Hit Studio" was a program that every idol who wanted to release a new album had to appear on.
During the rehearsal a few days ago, Shizuka Kudo was very nervous. Although she had participated in this program before, this time "I Want to Shout I Love You" was a bit different from the sweet songs of other idols.
Even Akina Nakamori, who was known as the most rebellious idol, had never sung such a rock-style song......
And....
"Shizuka-chan...." Yu Hayami, who was also preparing for tonight's recording in the rest area, looked at Shizuka Kudo's outfit with great surprise, "Are you going to play basketball?"
"......"
Shizuka Kudo didn't know how to reply, but the long straight hair, wearing a men's basketball T-shirt that was a size too big, even covering the miniskirt, revealing slender and fair arms and legs.......
This was the singing outfit specially requested by Naoki!!!
"This is a singing outfit, the song style today is very suitable...."
"Is that so.... " Yu Hayami circled around Shizuka Kudo, quite admiringly, "This singing outfit seems very interesting..... very sporty style...."
"......"
Shizuka Kudo didn't like playing basketball before. She didn't quite understand what Naoki Nagayama meant when he communicated with her before, saying that straight men had no resistance.
It was clearly just a very ordinary basketball uniform.....
The two chatted for a while, and then waited for the recording notification, and started walking toward the studio.
From the moment she entered the door, Shizuka Kudo discovered something different. Whether it was the extras under the stage or the guests who also came to participate in the recording, they would cast strange gazes. However, as long as they were men, they would turn their heads and pretend to be serious after looking at her, and then secretly glance again......
And some more confident young male idols would sometimes come over and chat with a smile......
Things like "Shizuka-chan, do you like playing basketball?" "Shizuka-chan is very youthful and energetic today~" "Let's go play basketball on vacation, my basketball skills are very good...."
Until the recording officially started, such a thought popped into Shizuka Kudo's mind:
"It seems, she is indeed quite popular....."
Time passed in a flash, and today was the time for "Yoru no Hit Studio" to be broadcast. Naoki Nagayama also received the news and waited in front of the TV for the moment when the new idol under Shuyou would rise.
The host Mari Yoshimura was still wearing a slim dress, skillfully hosting the "Yoru no Hit Studio" program.
"Ah..... Shizuka-chan, is Shizuka-chan wearing a basketball uniform today?" When Shizuka Kudo went on stage, Mari Yoshimura asked with great surprise.
"Hai, it really is a basketball uniform....."
"What is the reason?" Mari Yoshimura guided the question, "The song to be sung today is 'I Want to Shout I Love You,' right? It should be a love song...."
"Because...... it fits the style of the song, the sound of the heart pounding, and playing basketball is very similar......" Shizuka Kudo explained.
"So that's it."
Mari Yoshimura nodded and continued,
"Then please Shizuka-chan sing this song for everyone....."
The TV screen turned, and on the stage set up as a basketball court, there were drums, electric guitars, bass...... and then Shizuka Kudo standing in the middle....... The style that was different from other female idols was revealed.
With the strong rhythm of the drums, her thighs began to shake involuntarily, and the melody that made people's blood boil echoed in people's ears, as if to bring people into a basketball court full of cheers......
"
Mabushii hizashi o se ni hashiridasu machi no naka (Running through the streets with the dazzling sun at my back)
Tatakareta itsumo no you ni kata o (You patted my shoulder like you always do)
Kimi ni muchuu na koto ni riyuu nante nai noni (Even though there is no reason for me to be obsessed with you)
"
"What is this? Shizuka Kudo's new song?!"
In Nakano Ward, Tadashi Koide, who was sitting cross-legged on the tatami watching the TV in front of him, was full of surprise at this time.
From the moment Shizuka Kudo appeared, he couldn't take his eyes off her. Basketball uniform + girl + appearance + good figure, as soon as these keywords appeared, he couldn't hold on anymore, okay.......
And as soon as the music started, Tadashi Koide became even more excited:
"This style...... this song?!"
A female idol singing rock, this was completely unique among the current female idols!
Shizuka Kudo on TV was holding the microphone and singing the lyrics loudly, and the low voice seemed to contain love that was about to be uncontrollable.
"Kimi ga suki da to sakibitai (I want to shout I love you)!!"
Shizuka Kudo, wearing an oversized basketball uniform, seemed to be confessing to all the viewers watching TV. Tadashi Koide couldn't help but stand up, and his whole person was excited!
This kind of emotional impact reminded him of the senior sister on the sports field back then. That was also a midsummer. The senior sister on the sports field was also so youthful, so energetic, and the smile she looked over with was also full of sunshine and warmth......
Although they became acquaintances later and didn't confess, there was still a love in his heart......
"
Kimi ga suki da to sakibitai (I want to shout I love you)
Yuuki de fumidasou (Let's muster the courage to take the first step!)
"
Just at this moment, Shizuka Kudo sang this lyric, making the feelings he had accumulated for several years burst out uncontrollably!!!
Has my youth passed away just like this?!
Tadashi Koide's heart moved, and he immediately picked up the phone next to him, and pressed the number engraved in the depths of his memory with his slightly trembling hand......
"Beep beep....."
Tadashi Koide's hands were trembling with nervousness during the few seconds of waiting. The sound of the phone being picked up made Tadashi Koide unable to hold back anymore. Before the person on the other side of the microphone even started to greet him, Tadashi Koide immediately shouted loudly:
"Senior Sister Yongli! I am Tadashi Koide!!!"
"I....... I....... I love you!!!!"
After shouting out what was in his heart happily, Tadashi Koide only felt that his whole head relaxed in an instant, and the secret love he had accumulated for four years of college was finally told to the other party!
No matter what happens later, he has no regrets!!!
"......."
The silence in the microphone made Tadashi Koide's breathing quicken. No way, maybe Senior Sister Yongli was also surprised by the sudden confession!
This was also something that couldn't be helped..... A junior who had known her for four years suddenly confessed, anyone would be at a loss!
Tadashi Koide prepared to apologize immediately after listening to the reply. He was really sorry for causing trouble to the senior sister due to a moment of impulse!
And just when he was letting his imagination run wild, a voice slowly came from the microphone:
"Ah, so that's how it is....."
Tadashi Koide stiffened instantly...... It was a man's voice!!!
"Ano..... Yongli-chan is taking a bath...... I'll go call her to answer the phone....." The man in the microphone seemed a bit surprised, but still said very considerately, "Tadashi Koide, right...... wait a moment....."
He vaguely heard voices on the other side of the microphone like "She hasn't put on clothes yet," "Her hair is still wet," "What? Tadashi Koide?" "Is it a prank?"
Crack.......
The sound of glass shattering came to Tadashi Koide's ears, and the warm yellow light in the rental house seemed to turn gray and white......
Tadashi Koide himself also faded in color and became a black-and-white portrait......
This is just like you sending a message to a goddess late at night asking "Are you asleep?" and then the other side replies "She's already asleep!"!!
"Moshi moshi......" The microphone was picked up again, and a familiar female voice that was a bit puzzled came out, "Is this Tadashi Koide?"
"......."
Click~
Tadashi Koide silently hung up the phone......
Then he hugged the pillow next to him and curled up in the corner of the room.......
Decided, from today on, never to leave this room again!!!
Not to mention Tadashi Koide's social death moment, Shizuka Kudo's "I Want to Shout I Love You" playing on "Yoru no Hit Studio" caused a shock in the idol world in a short time~
Everyone never knew that female idols could operate like this......
It turns out that besides being sweet and rebellious, female idols can also be cool and dashing...... and can also sing "I love you" loudly on stage!!!
The weather the next day was still sunny, the scorching sun was hanging in the sky, and it was unbearably hot from early morning.
However, Naoki Nagayama was sitting in the thin cold wind, eating a simple breakfast and reading the newspaper~
"'Our Little Sister,' a warm and profound road of life....." Naoki Nagayama nodded, "This evaluation is quite good, proper positive energy!"
Then he continued to read. The newspaper roughly explained the scene of yesterday's preview, as well as the reviews of the movie.
He flipped through several newspapers at random, and they all said that this movie was a movie worth watching, and many critics who went to watch the movie yesterday also said so.
Shuyou's promotional offensive was officially launched. Many newspapers and periodicals were praising "Our Little Sister," and there was no dissenting voice in the entire entertainment industry......
Of course, this also had something to do with the headlines of the entertainment newspapers.....
"Naoki Nagayama confirms engagement, expected to marry officially within a year!" "Big news, these two are really going to get married!" "In a year, we will lose this top idol!"
Sure enough, the news of Naoki Nagayama confirming his engagement ignited public opinion again.
"Hasn't this been reported once already..... why is everyone still so excited...."
Naoki Nagayama, who had experienced information explosion, was very puzzled. In his eyes, a headline hot spot that could last for a whole day was already quite remarkable.
The news of Akina Nakamori and him getting engaged had clearly exploded a week ago. Now he just admitted it, how did it go to the front page headlines again......
"People of the Showa era, sure enough, haven't experienced big scenes!"
While criticizing and looking at the reports in the newspaper, looking at how the reporters wrote about him, Naoki Nagayama was actually quite interested......
But speaking of which, Naoki Nagayama's scandals and other negative reports hadn't been seen in the newspaper for a long time. Even the nickname "Playboy Naoki" wasn't used by reporters anymore.
Now, because Shuyou was becoming more and more prosperous, and had two top traffic stars, Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori, the reports didn't dare to write any black material or false speculation at all, and even the relationship between the two was written as positively as possible.
Otherwise, if Shuyou and Yan Yin joined forces to boycott a certain media, the losses would be very miserable......
Besides the two celebrities themselves, the new artists of Yan Yin, information about other idols of Shuyou, news about movies under the company, reports on film festivals, variety shows produced, and even a popular male singer would not accept their interviews.
In addition, Shuyou had very good relationships with Fuji TV, Asahi TV, TBS, and TV Tokyo......
In short, now that they had angered the Shuyou Group, the media was equivalent to losing a large share of the entertainment market.
Under such circumstances, how could the reporters dare to write indiscriminately!
After finishing his coffee, Naoki Nagayama didn't rush to drive or anything, but came to the study very leisurely, put away the script he wrote yesterday, and prepared to put it together with the one he brought from Jinggang after arriving at the company.
After lingering in Shanying Yuan for a while, he heard the beeping sound from the door. His dedicated driver Zhian Toda had arrived...... ===== CHAPTER 893 =====
