Chapter 951: I really need to get used to it!
"Ah, Genta-san, if you're in the United States, then there's nothing to be done..."
In the morning, Naoki Nagayama was on the phone with the United States, informing Genta Nakai about his marriage.
"I gave the invitation to Suzumi-chan; it's the same if she comes~"
"What do you mean it's the same!" Genta Nakai shouted loudly on the phone. "That's your once-in-a-lifetime wedding, Naoki-san. How can I not be there?!"
"..."
Once-in-a-lifetime or something seems a bit shameful... Naoki Nagayama looked back at Akina, who was busy in the kitchen...
Forget it, give her some face; once is once.
"There's nothing to be done about it; it's more than 20 hours round trip..." Naoki Nagayama persuaded. "The US side really can't do without you. Genta-san, what you're holding in your hands now is our financial freedom for the rest of our lives!"
"That won't do either!" Genta Nakai said. "Money can be earned again, but a wedding won't be held a second time!"
"..." Are you serious? Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but want to complain.
The current 700 or 800 million US dollars, Naoki Nagayama might be able to earn back, after all, there are many opportunities to get rich in the future... But are you, Genta Nakai, sure you can earn it back?!
"Investment operations or something, not operating for a day or two is no big deal... The market is also being watched by Aldrich!" Genta Nakai said confidently. "In short, I will definitely arrive on time for Naoki-san's wedding!"
"Then isn't Genta-san too hard... traveling back and forth between the US and Tokyo..."
"Haha, by the way, come back to see Suzumi-chan and Shota! Haven't seen them for more than a month..."
"That's your real purpose, right!"
"How could that be..."
The two joked with each other on the phone for a while before ending the conversation.
Akina had already set the plates and was serving miso soup. Seeing her husband hang up the phone, she called him over for breakfast.
"The communication with Genta-san went smoothly, right? You seem very happy..."
"Hmm... He's rushing back to attend my wedding~" Naoki Nagayama explained with a smile. "Haha, he said that even if he has to be on a plane for three consecutive days, he must come back..."
"Is that so..." Akina paused. "Sure enough, you have a very good relationship with Naoki-san..."
"Speaking of which, that guy should be the first friend I made in Tokyo..."
Naoki Nagayama recalled that after he came to the Showa era, he met Genta Nakai in the house he rented, and then for some reason, they started chatting... Then they invested and made money together, and he also witnessed his love, marriage, and having children with Suzumi Hoshino...
Just like that, the relationship between the two became closer and closer... If this continues, when the next generation arrives, the two should be what is called a family friendship!
After sitting down to eat breakfast, Naoki Nagayama didn't feel anything different after registering his marriage. It was still Akina cooking breakfast, and Naoki Nagayama would help clean up the kitchen after eating, which didn't seem to have changed from before.
It was just that the newspaper on the dining table kept reminding him... The large cover photo was impossible not to look at.
"Akina, you're going to record a program today too, right?" Naoki Nagayama asked.
"Hmm... It's time for 'The Best Ten' again..." Akina replied. "This time it's 'Roppongi Junjo-ha', it's on the chart..."
"Ha, it's about time."
This song had been out for half a month, and its popularity was so high that it was on the chart so late purely because the statistics took two weeks.
Naoki Nagayama looked at the bright newlywed wife in front of him and said with a little worry:
"If Akina goes to record the program this time, she will definitely be surrounded by reporters at the TV station... In the program, she will also be asked about the marriage by Tetsuko Kuroyanagi and the new male host..."
"Daijobu!" Akina's face was full of confidence, and she touched her stomach. "I'm prepared for these! I can say what I should say, but they don't want to know what I don't want to say from my mouth!"
The possibility of such things as prenatal checkups being leaked still exists. What if the files and materials are seen by someone with a loose mouth~
"..." Actually..." Naoki Nagayama said helplessly. "If it's really discovered, it doesn't matter if you admit it... We are already husband and wife~"
"Oh! That's right!"
Akina clapped her hands, and instantly became calm. Legally, the two were completely legal and could have a baby!
It's just that becoming an official couple is something you really need to get used to.
When they drove to Ota Ward, the group of reporters at the entrance was gone... But you could still see sneaky figures near the filming base.
They were probably paparazzi waiting there, always wanting to sneak into the base to take more things... Even if they couldn't take Naoki Nagayama, the several crews inside the filming base were also very good targets...
"Naoki-san, congratulations!" "Naoki-san is here~" "Good morning~" "Happy marriage..."
After arriving at the set, various greetings were said by the crew members. Naoki Nagayama basically nodded with a smile or replied simply, but the last one...
"I haven't held the wedding yet! You guy~"
Naoki Nagayama scolded the employee who said happy marriage with a smile. If they continued to say it, maybe they would even say "have a baby soon"!
"Naoki..." Feng Nagayama walked over and punched Naoki Nagayama on the shoulder. "You did a big thing yesterday! When I went to KTV, everyone was discussing it!"
Feng Nagayama finally waited for a day off and immediately went to inspect the KTV headquarters... He was about to turn from a playboy into a responsible adult.
"When it's time to announce, there's no way to continue hiding it." Naoki Nagayama smiled and took out the invitation. "Brother Feng must come too!"
"You're only giving it to me now..." Feng Nagayama muttered and accepted the invitation. "End of November... I thought you wouldn't get married until next year... I originally thought we would get married in the same year..."
"Oh? Brother Feng, did you propose to Kokai-chan?" Naoki Nagayama was a little surprised. "Is the wedding date set? Does Grandfather know?"
"I'll propose after this movie is finished... We'll probably get married around April next year..."
Feng Nagayama said very firmly. He and Kokai Ishida were more like traditional Japanese lovers. The proposal and marriage were mainly decided by Feng Nagayama... He wasn't worried that Kokai Ishida would refuse or anything...
"When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom..."
Naoki Nagayama seemed to imagine what the wedding would look like in the flying cherry blossoms, which should be about the same as the wedding scene in "April Story",
"I originally thought about holding the wedding when the cherry blossoms were flying... But I didn't expect an accident to happen~"
"Ha, who told you not to take protective measures when you're so old!" Feng Nagayama despised.
"..."
While the cousins were chatting, Tomokazu Miura also changed his clothes and walked over:
"Naoki-san... yesterday's marriage announcement was really lively..."
"Haha~" Naoki Nagayama interrupted him. "Hasn't Tomokazu-san experienced it too... Momoe-san's time was shocking, right?"
"That's true... After all, she's a Top Star!"
Tomokazu Miura smiled. This was his common point with Naoki Nagayama: both married top stars in the entertainment industry!
However, other aspects were very different...
"Naoki-san, are you really not letting the media interview at the wedding?" Tomokazu Miura asked. "This will cause collective dissatisfaction in the media industry, right?"
In addition to the media industry, television stations, agencies, advertisers, record companies, fan clubs, and even the wedding industry might be dissatisfied...
After all, a century wedding that attracts worldwide attention can bring considerable benefits to all parties.
Such a big cake, and you, Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nagayama, say no? Back then, he and Momoe Yamaguchi couldn't even say a word of refusal!
"Haha, Tomokazu-san... The Nagayama family temple is relatively small, and the family tradition is to be low-key... So we only invited relatives..."
Naoki Nagayama naturally wouldn't say that we two are not at the same level to stimulate Tomokazu Miura, so he could only use family tradition to prevaricate,
"Plus there's the relationship with the Yakuza, it's not convenient to publicize too much..."
"So that's how it is, then there's nothing to be done~"
Tomokazu Miura had been in the entertainment industry for so long, so he naturally wouldn't be like a fool and wouldn't ask more after hearing a reasonable reason.
As for whether the wedding would invite their couple, he didn't even ask... Their family and Naoki Nagayama's family could at most be considered familiar friends now. After all, they hadn't even been to the small gathering at Sanying-tei, so they weren't in the core circle~
"But it's also good without the media... When Momoe and I got married, it didn't feel like a wedding, but like filming a movie as it is now..." Tomokazu Miura mocked himself. "The script was really prepared!"
"But the wife is real!" Naoki Nagayama comforted. "In the end, didn't you marry Momoe-san back~"
"Hahaha, only this point!"
The two looked at each other and laughed, and then Feng Nagayama joined in... So the crew saw the two male leads and the director of the movie laughing wildly in a corner of the set...
It wasn't until the preparation work for the set was completed and filming officially started that the laughter stopped.
The filming of "Hayato's Legend: New World" went very smoothly. After such a long period of running-in, everyone was very familiar with how to express the characteristics of the characters and how the crew members cooperated tacitly~
However, today, small situations would appear on the set from time to time...
In the DreamWorks filming base, there was more than one crew filming here, and there were a large number of extras and staff... This led to people who didn't know each other breaking into the "Hayato's Legend" set from time to time, saying things like they were lost...
Actually, it was just to take a look at Naoki Nagayama... This guy was the hottest person in the entertainment industry now!
When it was time to rest, the park director, Katsuyoshi Ishikawa, pushed a cardboard box of letters over with a small cart...
"Naoki-san... these are letters sent to the park security office since yesterday... they are all for you... do you want to take a look?"
"???"
Naoki Nagayama looked at the bulging letters and packages. The address of the recipient on it was the filming base, and the name was Naoki Nagayama...
He subconsciously thought of a terrorist attack... After all, Akina's fans must really want to kill him now... Some extremists were not impossible!
"There won't be a bomb inside, right?!"
"I touched it through the envelope, it's probably all paper..."
"This... I'm a little scared..." Naoki Nagayama looked at Katsuyoshi Ishikawa. "Why don't you trouble Ishikawa-kun to open them all for me..."
"........." Naoki-san, are you still human?!
"Or just throw them all away!" Anyway, Naoki Nagayama's private letters wouldn't be sent to the filming base!
"Throw them all away?" Katsuyoshi Ishikawa said in surprise.
"You can look if you want..."
"Then forget it~"
When the public opinion outside was getting bigger and bigger, Akina Nakamori... ah, Nagayama Akina came to the TBS Hall. She had to start preparing for the rehearsal of "The Best Ten" in the afternoon, and it would be broadcast live in the evening~
Sure enough, the reporters who received the news in advance were all surrounded at the entrance of the TV station, making it impossible for the car to drive in...
"Akina-chan, say something~" "Akina-san... what is your opinion on marriage?" "Akina... look at the camera!"
"..."
They had already explained things related to the marriage at the press conference yesterday, and today these reporters surrounded her again to learn more... No, some just wanted to take a photo of her arriving at the TV station~
Then they could paste the photo on the front page of the newspaper, accompanied by headlines like "Akina continues to work after official announcement, no smile on her face..." or "Akina Nakamori doesn't rest even after marriage... how hard she works~", and they could water down another article!
And the popularity must be high...
Akina knew that she couldn't satisfy these reporters one after another; greed had no bottom, so she just lowered her head and said sorry, and walked quickly into the TBS Hall under the escort of Fusanori Akiko and Maki Ueda.
The reporters stopped at the front door; they still didn't dare to provoke the majesty of Japan's five major monopoly TV stations!
However, the reporters of the TV station itself were not afraid...
In the corridor to the dressing room, Akina met the cameraman and reporter who were specifically filming the program's behind-the-scenes, as if they were waiting specifically... It was not easy to avoid them!
"Akina-chan, isn't this Akina-chan!"
The reporter said in an exaggerated tone and walked quickly to Akina Nakamori's side, and the cameraman next to him also followed,
"Akina, who just announced her marriage yesterday, actually came to TBS today!"
"Akina-chan, what program are you here to participate in?"
Akina could only show a business smile: "It's 'The Best Ten' tonight... because 'Roppongi Junjo-ha' is on the chart!"
"So that's it! Congratulations, congratulations!" The host smiled and congratulated, then continued to ask, "Akina-chan, can you tell us what kind of mood you are in to participate in the recording of the program after announcing your marriage?"
"This..." Akina Nakamori covered her mouth and laughed, "Of course I'm super happy!"
"Oh? Very happy?"
"Of course, I'm getting married!!" Akina Nakamori looked at the host in front of her in surprise. This tone didn't sound like it was pretended at all. "A girl is getting married, of course she's happy!"
"That's true~" The host echoed, "I also super want to marry Akina~"
"In your dreams!"
An off-screen voice came from nowhere, and Akina Nakamori also looked surprised... Only to see Tamori wearing glasses appear in the lens, speaking into the microphone:
"People who want to marry Akina-chan have to line up to the Pacific Ocean!"
"Eh? Tamori-san? Why are you here?"
"I'm hosting with Kuroyanagi-san today!" Tamori replied. "It's because I was worried that Akina would be blocked, so I came to pick you up specifically!"
"Haha, then thank you very much~"
"Where, where, you're welcome~"
The two seemed to be talking about manzai in front of the camera, making the real host unable to intervene for a while, but the effect of this behind-the-scenes was absolutely explosive.
"Since Akina has already accepted the interview, let's hurry up and rehearse... Time is very tight~"
Tamori said and was about to take Akina Nakamori away. He was quite familiar with Naoki Nagayama and had cooperated several times and appreciated Akina, this straightforward artist, and didn't want her to continue to be blocked in the corridor.
"Then there's nothing to be done, bye-bye, host-san~"
Akina Nakamori naturally didn't stay and turned and left...
"..." The host and cameraman were speechless...
"Tamori-san, arigato~" After leaving the camera, Akina Nakamori thanked him very sincerely.
"It's nothing~"
Tamori said with a smile,
"After announcing the marriage, the entire entertainment industry is spreading your news, Akina!
I was chatting about this when I was drinking with friends last night... Even the table next to us was chatting! Just from this point, you can see how hot this matter is!
You will definitely be very troubled these days. There will be many, many people who want to know about your wedding with Naoki-san... Just now was just one of them~ You have to get used to it!"
"I'm already prepared!"
Akina's face was firm,
"If the reporters want to ask, let them ask. Anyway, there's nothing to hide!"
"Naoki-san and I actually told everything about the wedding yesterday. If they ask more, even I don't know what else there is to say!"
"Is that so?" Although Tamori was wearing sunglasses, it seemed that others could see him raise an eyebrow. "I and Kuroyanagi-san will also ask later!"
"Eh???"
"After all, I'm also a host~"
"So just now?"
"That's called showing kindness first... so that I won't feel guilty when interviewing later!"
"..."
Sure enough, old and cunning! ===== CHAPTER 952 =====
