Chapter 929: If Akina is pregnant, I will inform everyone!!

The filming base in Ota Ward was becoming more and more lively with people coming and going.

After the Tokyo Film Festival, Tree Friend's staff gradually gathered in this place. In addition to '101st Proposal' which was currently filming, two movies were about to start filming here, and both were led by Tree Friend's top management, making everyone attach great importance to them.

In addition to Tree Friend's main house, there were many other movies, TV dramas, and even variety shows that had already been set. So many projects and the crews they brought almost filled the filming base in Ota Ward at the end of the year.

When Naoki Nagayama arrived here, it was almost noon. He saw many faces that had appeared on TV in the park, and could also find acquaintances in the entertainment industry in the restaurant next door.

"Naoki-san!" "Director Nagayama..." "Heard your movie is about to start?" "..."

No matter if they were familiar or not, Naoki Nagayama's status was here, and many people had to come up to greet him, and Naoki Nagayama could only deal with it constantly.

Katsuo Ishikawa beside him was full of envy. Although he was now the director of the filming base park, these famous directors and stars would at most nod and smile at him, unlike the enthusiasm when they saw Naoki Nagayama.

"Naoki-san, you are really popular in the entertainment industry!"

After walking to an empty place, Katsuo Ishikawa sighed.

"What popularity..." Naoki Nagayama shook his head and whispered, "Privately, I don't know how many people will say I don't know how to restrain myself, and am arrogant and rampant~"

There is no true feeling in the vanity fair, it's all just acting~

Katsuo Ishikawa paused, but still said: "Naoki-san, your thinking is too pessimistic..."

"Could it be that when Ishikawa-kun wasn't the park director, so many directors of crews greeted you?" Naoki Nagayama nodded to another person who said hello, looking at the back of the person who left after greeting Katsuo Ishikawa.

"..."

Being greeted, Katsuo Ishikawa was originally a bit proud, but after listening to Naoki Nagayama's words, he instantly felt it was very meaningless.

Sure enough, the truth of this world is nakedly flattering the high and stepping on the low~

After slightly looking at the scene of his 'Hayato's Legend: New World', Naoki Nagayama came to the filming set of Shizumu Kijima, who was filming a scene indoors.

"I won't marry anyone~" Kaoru Yabuki, played by Hitomi Kuroki, said to her sister with tears in her eyes, wearing pajamas. "I've already been married... I only understood today that I still love that person... and might be so in the future..."

This was the complex performance of Kaoru Yabuki, played by Hitomi Kuroki, refusing Tatsuro Hoshino and then talking to her sister. Although there were tears in her eyes, she was smiling on her face, revealing sadness and stubbornness...

Ordinary actors couldn't act this out. As expected of an actor from a professional theater troupe!

"CUT!"

Shizumu Kijima shouted cut after the performance ended, but Hitomi Kuroki hadn't walked out of the emotion just now, and the whole person was surrounded by an atmosphere of sadness.

"Let's take a break..." Shizumu Kijima said to the crew, then softly instructed Hitomi Kuroki, "Hitomi-chan, this take has passed, soothe your emotions well..."

"Yes... Sumimasen..." Hitomi Kuroki nodded slightly and sat aside to organize her thoughts.

"Naoki-san?!"

Shizumu Kijima walked over after seeing Naoki Nagayama's figure, and asked somewhat surprised,

"Why did you come to the Dream Factory today?"

"'Hayato's Legend: New World', ready to start filming!" Naoki Nagayama smiled and patted Shizumu Kijima on the shoulder. "I naturally have to come over to confirm... and by the way, tell you one thing."

"?"

"'101st Proposal', will start broadcasting next Monday!" Naoki Nagayama said. "Now it has started to be previewed!"

"Honto?"

A smile appeared on Shizumu Kijima's face. His work was about to be broadcast, so he was naturally happy.

"Yes, because you were filming, the phone call went to the Tree Friend building side." Naoki Nagayama was in Ikebukuro in the morning, so he just happened to come to Ota Ward at this time to tell Shizumu Kijima in person.

"Next Monday..." Shizumu Kijima muttered to himself. "It shouldn't be a problem, right? The audience should like '101st Proposal', right?!"

"Definitely!" Naoki Nagayama encouraged. "I have absolute confidence in this TV drama!"

A classic that had been repeatedly remade by China, Japan, and South Korea, how could it not be popular!

After chatting with Shizumu Kijima for a few words, Naoki Nagayama found the leads Toshiyuki Nishida and the heroine Hitomi Kuroki, and explained the good news to them. Both were very excited.

"Naoki-san, do we need to cooperate with promotion or something?" Toshiyuki Nishida was a veteran actor after all, and was very familiar with the promotion of TV dramas. "I also have acquaintances at the TV station, can help in variety shows..."

"Hahaha, don't worry Nishida-san, when it comes to promotion, our Tree Friend Film is professional!"

Naoki Nagayama comforted. "The distribution section has already arranged a series of promotional actions, including previews, interviews, posters, press conferences... Reporters and program crews should come here to visit the set this week..."

"That's good~"

Toshiyuki Nishida nodded. As the lead, he naturally hoped that this TV drama could have very high ratings!

However, what Naoki Nagayama didn't expect was that just as several people were chatting, a group of people walked in holding microphones and a camera, led by Naotaro Zhongxi from Fuji TV and Katsuo Ishikawa who had just walked out before.

"Kijima-san, Naoki-san, this is the set visit group from Fuji TV."

Katsuo Ishikawa came over and explained the matter clearly in a few words. This group was here to conduct a set visit interview and then promote it on the program. Shizumu Kijima naturally had no intention of refusing.

"Naoki-san is actually here too?" Naotaro Zhongxi's smile became even brighter when he saw Naoki Nagayama.

"Hahaha, I am like you, I am also here to visit the set!" Naoki Nagayama said to this host he was quite familiar with. "Since you want to film, I won't disturb your work... I happen to have some urgent matters..."

"How can that be! Tsuji Naoto, turn on the camera!" Naotaro Zhongxi immediately ordered the camera guy Naoto Tsuji to turn on the camera. "Naoki-san can just increase the material for the interview!"

Having finally blocked a celebrity, how could he give up immediately!

"..."

Naoki Nagayama was thus caught as a strong laborer...

"Today, we came to the filming site of '101st Proposal' to visit the real situation of this TV drama during filming for everyone!" Naotaro Zhongxi immediately showed the professionalism of a professional host after turning on the camera, talking eloquently in front of the camera. "What's surprising is that we happened to meet Mr. Naoki Nagayama, who is also on the set..."

After the camera circled the crew members, it focused on Naoki Nagayama, and the microphone was handed over...

"Naoki-san, did you actually come to visit the set today too?"

"Ah, yes~" Naoki Nagayama had to nod. "Because I am the screenwriter of '101st Proposal', I am naturally very concerned about the filming of the TV drama..."

"Hahaha, as expected of a serious and responsible screenwriter! As expected of being very concerned about the effect presented by your own script!"

Naotaro Zhongxi praised with set phrases without pressure, completely ignoring the eyes of others on the set.

This screenwriter, Naoki Nagayama, had actually only come two or three times in total, completely unlike the concern of screenwriters of other TV dramas.

One had to know that in the production of Japanese TV dramas now, the weight of the screenwriter is sometimes even more important than the director!

"Hmm, after all, it's my own work~" Naoki Nagayama accepted this praise with an unchanging expression.

"By the way, Naoki-san..." Naotaro Zhongxi didn't mean to waste this opportunity at all. "The Tokyo International Film Festival just ended successfully. I heard that Naoki-san is about to start filming the next movie, right?"

"Yes..." Naoki Nagayama didn't hide it. "This movie is called 'Hayato's Legend: New World', it's an action movie..."

"Naoki-san is actually going to film an action movie again, it's really looking forward to it!"

Naotaro Zhongxi immediately praised.

"Besides work, as the end of the year is approaching, does Naoki-san have anything to share with everyone in other aspects?"

Naoki Nagayama raised his eyebrows. He knew that this host would ask other questions. This was clearly asking about his private affairs! However, he was no longer a novice in the entertainment industry!

"Uh... wish everyone an early Happy New Year? Wish everyone a Happy New Year in advance?"

"..."

Laughter seemed to come from beside him...

"Naoki-san..." Naotaro Zhongxi's expression was a bit stiff. "Really know how to joke..."

"Hahaha, just so-so~"

However, as a senior reporter, Naotaro Zhongxi would not give up easily, continuing to explore:

"Naoki-san, another year is about to pass. Besides achieving huge success in your career, are there any changes in your personal life?!"

"..." "Temporarily none~"

"In terms of emotional life? When are you and Akina-chan getting married and having children?"

"..." "In this regard, temporarily not considering it!" Naoki Nagayama stared at the reporter with his eyes, telling him to be careful about the next question. "If Akina is pregnant, I will definitely inform everyone in advance!"

"Yes! Arigato~"

He originally wanted to continue asking, but the oppressive force in Naoki Nagayama's eyes forced him to reconsider. This set was full of Tree Friend's people. If he were surrounded and beaten up... it would be a big loss!

"Then let's continue to see the filming situation of '101st Proposal'!"

Naotaro Zhongxi finally chose to follow his heart. He signaled the camera guy to film toward the crew's director Shizumu Kijima and other actors, and he also held the microphone to interview them~

However, this was the real business of the set visit interview, and the subsequent process appeared very normal~

At the same time, Akina Nakamori, who was on the other side, was currently in a Western-style mansion in Bunkyo Ward, filming an advertisement.

This was a very old Western-style mansion. The Persian carpet in the living room covered the solid wood floor, there were cherry wood coffee tables and side cabinets, and sofas wrapped in velvet...

The entire dark green wall was covered with photos and exquisite oil paintings, and the crystal chandelier on the ceiling scattered crystal-clear colors in the sunlight~

Akina Nakamori was wearing a slightly larger blue shirt, white loose trousers, and her hair was also held up with a white hairband, but there were still many soft hair strands resting on the side, making the whole person appear casual and elegant.

"Akina-chan, today we are filming the hazelnut chocolate for Meiji's new product... just need to tear open the packaging paper, then put it into your mouth and taste it, and show an enjoyable expression!"

The commercial director at the scene instructed.

"The advertising slogan only needs to be said in a humming tone 'chocolate~ chocolate~'!"

"Yes!"

Akina Nakamori nodded to indicate understanding. For her, filming advertisements wasn't the first or second time, there was no difficulty.

And the filming location this time was very beautiful, and the weather was also very good.

The sunlight outside accompanied by the breeze blew in, the white gauze by the bed floated gently with the airflow, and the whole room seemed to be enjoying this leisurely and comfortable morning~

"Yes, then let's start!"

The commercial director nodded, signaling the filming team to start preparing.

"Action!"

This kind of simple advertisement naturally had no difficulty, and Akina Nakamori wasn't nervous about anything~

Following the director's command, she gently broke off a piece from a board of hazelnut chocolate and put it into her mouth without haste.

The rich milky fragrance and cocoa bean fragrance dispersed in the mouth, followed by thick sweetness, silky and fragrant, and a trace of bitterness...

Originally, Meiji chocolate was something Akina liked to eat before, so there was no pressure to show a happy expression~

However, when Akina tasted this flavor today, she suddenly felt a sense of nausea coming from her stomach all the way to her throat, as if her entire digestive tract was rejecting this food...

"Ugh~~"

Akina Nakamori immediately covered her mouth, didn't even have time to speak, and ran toward the mansion's bathroom.

"???"

Maki Ueda, who had been watching from the side, reacted immediately and also hurriedly ran toward the bathroom. Could her artist be sick?!

And everyone else on the set was stunned. The protagonist who was filming suddenly covered her mouth and ran away?! And seeing the appearance just now, was she nauseated and vomited after eating the chocolate?!

"Uh..."

The commercial director stepped forward, holding the board of chocolate that had just been dropped beside the sofa, and asked the brand side somewhat uncertainly,

"Meiji's new product chocolate, is it that hard to eat?"

"..."

After Maki Ueda ran to the bathroom, she found Akina leaning over the sink, still looking a bit nauseated~

"Akina-chan? How are you?" Maki Ueda gently patted Akina Nakamori's back. "Did you eat something bad?"

Akina shook her head, then rinsed her mouth with water:

"Seems not... just when I ate the chocolate just now, I suddenly felt nauseated..."

"Uh... is it the chocolate's problem?"

"Maybe... did they change some formula..."

Akina Nakamori also didn't know why, but she was still very professional. After tidying up a bit, she returned to the room.

"Sumimasen, an accident happened just now..." Akina Nakamori bowed and apologized to the filming team.

"Daijobu! Sudden situation, human nature..." The commercial director immediately waved his hand to indicate it was okay. "Then how is Akina now? Can you still film?"

"Hmm..."

Akina Nakamori also didn't know. She took a new board of hazelnut chocolate, broke it open, and smelled it, but there was no reaction.

However, after tasting a little bit, a familiar feeling of nausea surged up again...

"It seems, still can't~" Akina Nakamori communicated with the brand side on the set. "I seem to have some stress reaction to this flavor of chocolate? Or allergy?"

"..."

The people from the brand side looked at each other, unable to think of a solution. They also saw that Akina Nakamori was indeed allergic to this chocolate... Should they change the spokesperson? One had to know how hard it was to book Akina Nakamori's advertising slot now!

In the end, the commercial director came up with a way:

"Don't really eat it, we use the misaligned filming method... as long as Akina makes a happy expression!"

"Then please..."

According to the commercial director's method, the effect filmed was indeed very good. After all, Akina's acting level was very good, and she could perform the feeling of deliciousness even by eating air~

Such an advertisement filming was fooled through like this...

After the filming was completed, Fusanori Akiko drove to pick them both up. Akina Nakamori and Maki Ueda sat in the back seat of the car and talked about the accident just now.

"Didn't know before, Akina would reject hazelnut chocolate!" Maki Ueda sighed. "Could it be that the choice of hazelnuts is wrong?"

"Don't know..." Akina Nakamori was also very surprised~

Both were young girls in their twenties. In this era, internet consultation wasn't that developed, and for a while, they didn't consider other aspects...

However, Fusanori Akiko, who was driving, was already an experienced adult. After hearing this description, his heart sank... He silently slowed down the car and kept it steady.

"Akina-chan..." Fusanori Akiko adjusted his tone slightly. "Your menstrual period, is this normal?"

"??"

As a celebrity's manager, he would also understand the celebrity's body because he had to arrange the schedule, and sometimes he would help buy sanitary products, etc.

So when Fusanori Akiko asked, it didn't make Akina Nakamori feel offended, but the meaning contained in it made Akina somewhat panicked:

"Akiko-san, are you saying I... I'm pregnant?!!"

"That won't be, Naoki-san and I every time..." Akina Nakamori was obviously somewhat panicked, almost speaking without thinking. Fortunately, she reacted. "... all used protection!"

"Maybe I thought too much..." Fusanori Akiko understood that a young girl would be panicked about the news of sudden pregnancy. He comforted, "That's why I asked, has your menstrual period come?"

"I..."

Akina Nakamori opened her mouth, subconsciously wanting to explain, but then remembered something,

"In August and September, the national tour just ended... because the body was too tired, it was delayed twice. I thought September was also, so I didn't pay attention..."

"This month... not yet..."

After hearing Akina's whispered explanation, Fusanori Akiko sighed. He was already 80% sure...

If it were another artist, he would definitely be very worried, but if it were Akina Nakamori, he relaxed slightly. After all, she was already engaged to Naoki Nagayama...

"Since that's the case, before going back, buy a pregnancy test stick by the way..."

The car continued to drive, but the carriage suddenly became quiet.

Akina Nakamori, sitting in the back seat, didn't speak. At this time, her heart was in a mess, with panic, fear, and anxiety... Subconsciously, she touched her belly, but a trace of inexplicable happiness arose...

"Is there a baby?" "Naoki-san's?" "Pah, of course it's his..." "When?" "How big..." "What will Naoki-san think?" "Is the baby a boy or a girl?" "..."

Akina Nakamori's brain was like paste, and all kinds of thoughts popped up~

And Maki Ueda beside her... wanted to comfort but didn't know what to say...

She was also only in her twenties, and pregnancy and such were too far away for such a young girl~ ===== CHAPTER 930 =====
