Chapter 948

"Really?" "People have already received invitations!"

"Is it really Akina-chan and that Naoki Nagayama?!" "That's right, it's definitely them!"

"Ah... my Akina-sama has actually been snatched away by someone else!!!"

"She was snatched away long ago, wasn't she... they've been dating for over two years!"

"No... I don't believe it! Akina is supposed to be single for life!!! Forever pure!!! If she's going to get married, she can only marry me!"

"You guy, go die first!"

"......."

In the fan club, various discussions were very heated.

Although there was no internet forum in this era, nor online communities like QQ groups, pagers had already begun to become popular.

Relying on one-on-one information exchange and some fan companions who lived nearby, the fan club quickly spread the news of Akina Nakamori's marriage.

In fact, by this time, most fans had almost accepted that their idol would marry Naoki Nagayama, because the engagement news had been announced before, and they had been dating happily for more than two years...

But there were still some fans holding onto a glimmer of hope. After all, the entertainment industry predecessors Seiko Matsuda and Hiromi Go had a tumultuous four-year relationship, and there were rumors that the two were going to get married, but didn't they break up in the end?!

Although Seiko Matsuda later found a man and had a whirlwind marriage... but didn't she still not marry her original partner?! Akina Nakamori and Naoki Nagayama might be the same!

Some male fans were purely dissatisfied with Naoki Nagayama as the other half. This guy was handsome, young, rich, and talented; he was so perfect that people could only be jealous...

Heaven gave all the good things to Naoki Nagayama; why could he still be with their favorite Akina-sama!

"No matter what, I express my opposition to this marriage!" a fan with a face full of acne said, "Akina belongs to everyone!"

"Kill Nagayama, snatch Akina!!!"

"......."

Leaving aside the chaos in the fan groups, the entertainment industry itself was also alarmed by such news. Reporters from newspapers and media were even more anxious to chase and block both parties, urgently wanting to get accurate first-hand news...

Therefore, outside the filming base in Ota Ward, reporters had been coming one after another since the morning, almost causing traffic congestion at the park entrance!

Everyone knew that Tree Friends' "Hayato's Legend: New World" was filming here. If there was one place where one could stake out the elusive Naoki Nagayama, it would definitely be here!

"Naoki-san... there are more and more people!"

Park director Katsuyoshi Ishikawa wiped his sweat with a handkerchief. He had just run back and forth between the main gate and the set several times, and his legs were sore.

"If I let them continue to gather, I'm afraid there will be a stampede~"

"Ha, these guys' ears are sharper than bats..." Naoki Nagayama looked at the preparations the crew was making and said casually, "But I won't go out and be besieged voluntarily!"

"Ishikawa-kun... call more security personnel and watch the gate for me! Otomo-san just showed me the year-end performance table this morning. If you let anyone in, I'll deduct your year-end bonus!"

"......."

Hearing this, Katsuyoshi Ishikawa's facial muscles twitched, and he felt terrible.

"Naoki-san... don't do that..."

"So keep an eye on the park!" Naoki Nagayama turned his head; he didn't mean to let Katsuyoshi Ishikawa bear the pressure alone. "Go tell them that Akina and I will hold a press conference tomorrow, and we will answer all questions then!"

"Hai!"

Having received this reply, Katsuyoshi Ishikawa was immediately confident in dispersing the reporters and ran out in a hurry.

Watching the chubby back, Naoki Nagayama shook his head. He just threw out a little sweetness to appease their extreme emotions, but the greed of reporters could never be satisfied!

"They... won't leave..."

These guys would still wait at the gate until they filmed Naoki Nagayama or pried a word or two out of his mouth...

"Well... let's ignore them for now; let's finish filming this scene today!"

The set Naoki Nagayama was currently on was a vintage-style Western casino. In the early Showa era, the longing for Western culture in Japan was not just talk; everything had to be Western-style, and wherever it was important, it had to be Western-style...

Looking from afar, Kaede Nagayama was sporting a slicked-back hairstyle, wearing a well-fitting suit, and looking very high-class... At this time, Hayato Nagayama, played by Kaede Nagayama, already had the style and began to move toward high society.

Kaede Nagayama was communicating with the martial arts instructor, and Tomokazu Miura next to him was also listening. From here on, Hayato Nagayama and Tomokazu Miura in the movie were about to face a breakup~

"Hayato, look at yourself now!"

Hayato Nagayama slowly cut open a cigar, took a big puff, and exhaled the misty smoke...

"Is there anything wrong with me now? I would never have earned so much money in my life before... look at the suit I'm wearing, it's Italian D'Este... the cigar I'm smoking, it's top-quality Cuban... even my hair oil..."

Hayato Nagayama, who was proudly showing off, looked at Tomokazu Miura's wide-eyed glare and couldn't help but sigh, feeling a sense of frustration...

Tomokazu Miura, dressed in a high-ranking police uniform, came to see Hayato Nagayama before the casino opened, his expression filled with righteous indignation.

"Collecting protection fees, running bars, brothels... and now you're a shareholder in a casino, lending money... you've already harmed quite a few people!

I heard you're also planning to transport drugs by sea...

Are you really going to go down the path of the yakuza and never return?!"

"Hayato, stop it!!!"

"Aibo..." Hayato Nagayama had a somewhat arrogant and somewhat resentful expression on his face, "Do you think I wanted to become like this?!"

"Hundreds of people underneath are eyeing me, waiting for me to provide their meals!"

"If I don't feed them, they will drink my blood and eat my flesh!"

"What can I do?!"

"I can no longer leave this kind of life!"

"......"

Tomokazu Miura rushed up in one stride and grabbed Hayato Nagayama's collar:

"Hayato! Wake up, you won't have a good ending like this! Do you know? The higher-ups are already very dissatisfied with you, and the National Police Agency is also going to crack down on the gangs in Tokyo..."

Hayato Nagayama pushed Tomokazu Miura away forcefully and brushed off his wrinkled collar:

"Isn't it just an 'assault operation'~"

Tomokazu Miura opened his eyes in surprise:

"You... how do you know?!"

"Aibo... don't underestimate me~" Hayato Nagayama smiled playfully, "I have quite a few friends in the upper echelons now too!"

"You..."

The policeman played by Tomokazu Miura looked at his childhood friend in front of him and finally realized that this guy was no longer the friend he used to be... and it was he himself who sent him into the big dyeing vat of Tokyo's yakuza...

"Hayato, no! You can't keep falling like this!"

"..... Hahaha, falling?!" Hayato Nagayama's expression was full of resentment and some sadness, "I was willing to be an informant for the gang for three years for you, three years and another three years!!!"

"Now you say I'm falling?!... Yes... falling..."

"The original Hayato Nagayama has disappeared! Aibo, didn't you facilitate this?!"

"Now I am the boss of the yakuza gang!"

Tomokazu Miura's face first showed a look of guilt. The information Hayato Nagayama brought was too important; relying on this information, he solved many cases and even broke up smuggling deals and gang murders... The superiors naturally wouldn't let him leave, and he himself relied on these merits to rise through the ranks...

But then his expression became firm: "I was wrong before, but now I want to pull you back!"

"Haha, pull me back where?"

"Back to our hometown in Shizuoka! I'll go back with you!"

"Haha, don't be naive, it's already impossible~"

"It's definitely possible!"

"I don't want to!"

"Even if I have to knock you out, I'll take you back!!!"

"......"

One wanted to continue the dissolute life of debauchery, the other wanted to save his friend from the evil path; both of them, already walking on different paths, could not persuade each other...

Following the verbal conflict, the two former friends began to attack each other... Tomokazu Miura studied the Katori Shinto-ryu, while Hayato Nagayama learned the Satsuma Jigen-ryu...

Thus, a wonderful action scene unfolded in the empty casino...

Because they invited the Jackie Chan Stunt Team's martial arts instructor and absorbed a bit of Brother Dragon's action style, the two used whatever tools suitable for handling in the casino as weapons; chairs, dice, betting wheels... flew around the field...

The sound of slapping, the sound of shattering, the sound of breaking... the casino that was about to open became a mess...

This kind of fight scene, which combined Japanese sword-fighting films and Hong Kong action films, plus the inspiration Naoki Nagayama absorbed from splatter films like "Kill Bill," appeared very novel and full of action.

Finally, after Hayato Nagayama smashed a prop chair on Tomokazu Miura's head, Naoki Nagayama finally shouted with satisfaction:

"Cut!!!"

With a smile on his face, Naoki Nagayama praised:

"Very good, this long take is done in one take!!!"

Kaede Nagayama walked over, and one could see that a part of his cheek was already swollen... After all, Tomokazu Miura was not a professional action actor, so there would definitely be times when he couldn't hold back.

And Tomokazu Miura also walked over holding his head... even if it was a prop chair, it was very painful to be hit on the head!

"Kaede-niisan, Miura-san, are you two okay?"

"I'll probably need an ice pack on my face, otherwise the swelling won't go down in a short time..." Kaede Nagayama shrugged; he had been fighting since he was a child and knew this kind of injury very well.

"How about Miura-san?"

"I have some tinnitus..."

"Wait and see if it goes down..." Naoki Nagayama said, "If it doesn't work, there's an ambulance outside, go straight to the hospital!"

When filming action scenes, medical support naturally had to be done well; the park was already equipped with an ambulance.

Although this intense action scene was a long take, other angles were still needed later. Naoki Nagayama notified the crew to start rearranging the scene...

Back and forth, the whole afternoon passed just like that...

By the time the lights came on, the reporters gathered at the entrance of the filming base were also loosely scattered around the gate, occasionally exchanging information with their peers, but their eyes were fixed on the cars at the gate...

It wasn't that they didn't want to sneak in, but the eight security guards standing at the gate were all fierce-looking, and some even had tattoos... they must have had some unclear relationship with the yakuza!

I heard that "Hayato's Legend: New World," which Naoki Nagayama is currently filming, is a yakuza movie... could they be real yakuza members!

The reporters didn't dare to break in, but they dared to block the gate... every time a car came out, it had to pass by them; they didn't believe they couldn't block Naoki Nagayama's black convertible sports car!

At noon, someone saw Naoki Nagayama driving this car in, but because it was entering the gate, the reporters didn't pay much attention, and by the time they reacted, it was too late... who could have thought that the director would arrive at noon!

And at this time, Naoki Nagayama had already left the filming base mixed in with other crews leaving!

"Hehe, don't they know I have several cars?!"

"I'll change to another one tomorrow!"

While many reporters were surrounding the filming base, more reporters gathered at the entrance of the agency's headquarters.

Facing these reporters, the agency that made a living in the entertainment industry naturally couldn't drive them away; instead, they provided some supplies like mineral water, small cakes, and biscuits...

After six or seven hours, when the reporters gradually felt impatient, Akira Hanami, as the president, finally walked out.

"Minna-san, thank you very much for everyone's concern for Akina..."

"Alright, President Hanami, you know what we want to know! Don't talk nonsense!" "That's right, get straight to the point, about the marriage..."

"Why don't you let Akina-chan come out for an interview?!" "We want facts, we want the truth!"

Akira Hanami rolled his eyes in his heart and almost wanted to complain in public. The only thing you guys want is exposure and hot topics!

Akina-chan had already left quietly from the back door; she still had to go to the TV station for program recording, so how could she have time to stay at the agency headquarters all day!

In the morning, after he got Akina Nakamori's attitude, he had already made a simple plan at the headquarters, and by the way, called the Imperial Hotel to rent their banquet hall for the press conference... then reported to the senior shareholders, communicated with familiar media, and communicated with Warner Pioneer...

He also had to discuss the publicity plan after the press conference with Yoshiaki Tanaka... as well as the impact on the Japan Record Awards...

After all, he still had to make money!

After everything had almost reached a result, he finally walked in front of the reporters to announce the news.

"Minna-san, I know everyone is anxious, so I came over..."

"I came over to give everyone an explanation!"

Seeing that he had attracted the attention of all the media, Akira Hanami adjusted his breathing and continued:

"Regarding the marriage of Akina Nakamori and Naoki Nagayama, we will hold a press conference at the Imperial Hotel tomorrow! At that time, Akina Nakamori and Naoki Nagayama themselves will formally disclose the relevant information about the marriage!"

The click-clack of the shutters was about to break, and the flashbulbs replaced the daylight...

What Akira Hanami said made the reporters on the scene very excited. This showed that the invitation matter was true, and the fact that the two were getting married was even more verified!

"Alright, minna-san, please look forward to tomorrow's press conference..."

After finishing the news, Akira Hanami was about to walk toward the agency headquarters...

No, just this little content, it seems to be sorry for our waiting for most of the day!

"Hanami-san, why are you going in?! " "Say more!" "Wedding time, location, method..." "If it doesn't work, let Akina-chan come out and say a few words!"

"With just this little content, who can be satisfied!!!"

"......"
