Chapter 952: Spend the rest of our lives together, the sooner the better!!

~16 min read 3,007 words

The studio was bustling. Popular idols were invited to the stage for interviews and performances. The audience below always applauded enthusiastically after the artists went on stage and finished their performances. The atmosphere in the entire hall was very enthusiastic~

Of course, this was only achieved under the direction of the assistant...

Because it was a live program, the staff of "The Best Ten" were very serious, because if they were careless, they would be discovered by the audience in front of the TV!

"This week's NO. 3... Please look at the ranking list!" Host Tamori said into the microphone, and then the camera cut to the ranking list in the background board. "'Roppongi Junjo-ha'... 9678 points!"

Tetsuko Kuroyanagi said at the right time from the side: "Please welcome... Akina Nakamori-san, who just announced her marriage!"

This time, the audience at the scene all applauded frantically together, as if they had taken stimulants... The fame of the idol sister wasn't just talk!

"Minna-san, good evening~"

Akina, wearing a black dress, walked out from the revolving door, waving and greeting the camera and the audience.

"Ya~~~" Tetsuko Kuroyanagi made a sound of praise. "Sure enough, happy events are coming, Akina-chan seems to have become even more beautiful~"

Tamori reached out and gestured at Akina's outline, joking and teasing:

"Exuding a halo called happiness~"

"Hahaha~"

Facing the teasing of these two hosts, Akina decided today to speak less and smile more, so she looked at the two with a smile in her eyes, covering her mouth and laughing but not speaking~.

After all, it was a live stage, and the host naturally couldn't cause a cold scene, so Tamori could only continue:

"As announced before, you are getting married at the end of the month... Does Akina-chan have anything you want to share?"

"Ah... share something..." Akina showed a difficult look on her face. "I'm also getting married for the first time... I don't have any experience to share..."

The audience at the scene burst into laughter...

"..."

Tamori choked... Who wants you to share marriage experience! Who hasn't only been married once... Ah, Tetsuko Kuroyanagi next to him doesn't seem to be married at such an old age...

However, Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's hosting skills were naturally extraordinary, and she hurriedly changed the subject:

"Akina-chan, why do you want to get married so quickly? I remember you only got engaged in August? Getting married in November seems a bit hurried..."

"This..." Akina Nakamori subconsciously covered her stomach with her hands. Naturally, she couldn't say that she was pregnant before marriage. "Because... because one day, I suddenly discovered that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with the person in front of me..."

"When Naoki-san said he wanted to spend the rest of his life with someone, he hoped that the rest of his life could start as soon as possible..."

Akina Nakamori said in front of the microphone the reason Naoki Nagayama had prepared in advance...

However, the more she said, the more she felt the sincere emotion contained in this reason... Naoki-san just found a reason casually, and it sounded like a love story! If a little girl heard it, she would definitely be dizzy.

The scene was quiet for a while...

Then Tamori took a deep breath and sighed to the audience at the scene and the audience in front of the TV:

"Well... now everyone knows how Naoki Nagayama chased Akina-chan~"

Tetsuko Kuroyanagi also nodded from the side: "Yes... if someone said that to me, then I would definitely be impatient to spend the rest of my life with him!"

"Since Kuroyanagi-san said so..." Tamori turned to face Tetsuko Kuroyanagi. "Then... our rest of our lives..."

"Forget about you!"

Tetsuko Kuroyanagi immediately interrupted Tamori's words, and the ruthless appearance made the audience at the scene burst into laughter again~

The two veteran hosts picked up the atmosphere that had become a bit silent between questions and answers.

Due to time constraints, the interview before the song was actually only a few sentences. After this topic, Tetsuko Kuroyanagi asked Akina to go to the performance stage next to her to sing "Roppongi Junjo-ha".

However, the audience in front of the TV felt that they had been fed dog food collectively...

They had been wrapped in the news of this couple for the past few days, and now watching TV, they were being forcibly fed dog food... Is there any way for people to live!!!

Naoki Nagayama had already returned to Sanying-tei and was watching the live broadcast in front of the TV~

"Haha~" Naoki Nagayama stroked the head of the dog next to him. "Eitaro, are you full from dinner? Now it's considered an extra meal!"

"??"

Eitaro was still a bit excited when he heard dinner and extra meal, but why was there no next step after the owner finished speaking?!

Where's the dog food? Where's the canned food? A chew stick would also be fine!

As the hottest news in the entertainment industry at the moment, the marriage news of Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori could occupy the headlines for at least a week.

First was the report of the press conference, then the deep digging of wedding details, then the sorting out of the two's romance, and finally, the wedding information of other idols was pulled out for comparison... At the very end, a questionnaire was given to readers to see what everyone thought of this marriage...

In short, since the two announced their marriage, the media's probing of Burning Productions and Shu-Yu had not stopped...

Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori both discovered unidentified vehicles following the car, presumably wanting to track down the two's residence.

However, Fusanori Akiko used superb driving skills and a segmented approach to shake them off, and Naoki Nagayama led people to walk through the dormitory area of the Yakuza elders sent by his hometown to Tokyo in Sumida Ward...

Afterward, the paparazzi following Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori dropped off a cliff!

I don't know how Brother Feng and his subordinates talked about it. Now the entertainment industry is spreading that "Hayato's Legend" is not filming Naoki Nagayama's grandfather at all, but filming their generation directly...

"Hahaha~" Feng Nagayama specifically brought a newspaper to the set and said to Naoki Nagayama, "Naoki... look at this report... these guys really dare to say it!"

Naoki Nagayama took the newspaper that was obviously a gossip tabloid and scanned it slightly:

"'Hayato's Legend' prototype should be the two of us?!"

"Yes... it seems that they were scared before! Haha~"

Feng Nagayama's order to Shogo Hamasaki was to teach the paparazzi tracking Naoki Nagayama a lesson. I don't know what Shogo Hamasaki finally did, but these paparazzi were so afraid.

"It won't be threatening to sink them into Tokyo Bay~" Naoki Nagayama asked. "No need to play so big..."

"No, Hamasaki-san is much more peaceful now, at most teach them a lesson..."

"That's good~"

Closing the newspaper and putting the paparazzi matter behind him, Naoki Nagayama was thinking about another thing in his heart:

"Brother Feng... the publicity popularity of 'Hayato's Legend' has almost gone down, it's time to prepare to throw out another gimmick!"

"?" Feng Nagayama was a little puzzled. "What gimmick?"

"Of course it's Grandfather!" Naoki Nagayama said. "Last time I used the matter of Section Chief Toshio Minami to publicize it, and of course the next one is the other protagonist..."

Naoki Nagayama told his cousin that he planned to take a few bold reporters to interview his grandfather for real and treat this report as the second wave of publicity for "Hayato's Legend"... It just so happened that he would return to Shizuoka in two days to see the progress of the wedding preparations.

"This..." Feng Nagayama hesitated. "Will Grandfather agree to accept this kind of interview?! Besides, will there be any problems with the Yamaguchi-gumi headquarters..."

"There's not much resistance from Grandfather~"

Naoki Nagayama was very confident in persuading Grandfather Hayato Nagayama. Now "Hayato's Legend" is almost the last goal of his life, and he can pass his name down... He will agree!

"But the Yamaguchi-gumi headquarters..."

Naoki Nagayama still remembered that after the fourth generation died, it seemed that there had been no successor, and now the Yamaguchi-gumi was leaderless and was still in confrontation with the Ichiwa-kai... They should have no energy to manage this kind of thing...

"Grandfather has retired after all... Now the person in charge of the Nagayama-gumi is your father, Brother Feng!"

"..."

Speaking of this, Feng Nagayama was a little helpless... His old man didn't know why he especially wanted to expand the Nagayama-gumi and wanted to compete for the fifth generation of the Yamaguchi-gumi...

Feng Nagayama, who had joined the ranks of capitalists, couldn't understand, isn't it good to wash white from the Yakuza?

Isn't it good for the descendants of the family to be doctors, lawyers, or even politicians in the future?!

Why must they do a trade that cannot be seen in the light~

"Father's side... anyway, I will call and ask... but there should be no big problem."

"Then it's trouble~"

After agreeing with Feng Nagayama, Naoki Nagayama threw himself into the filming of "Hayato's Legend" again. As the director, he had to control the progress of the filming. After all, it was almost the middle of the month, and this movie had to be finished by the end of the year!

However, today, when the filming was in full swing, a person suddenly came to the set...

"Shuichi-san?" Naoki Nagayama, who was resting, was surprised to see Shuichi Ido. "Why are you here? Are you visiting the set?"

"Haha, you could say that~" Shuichi Ido nodded and sat down in the director's shed. "By the way, come and see if the set I set is ready..."

"Ah, that 'The Man with Zero Presence'!"

Naoki Nagayama suddenly remembered Shuichi Ido's movie project, and then asked curiously,

"Didn't you say you were looking for other investors before? Is there a result?"

"Yes..." Shuichi Ido naturally wouldn't hide it. "I went to pull Toho's investment... and some advertising sponsors, mainly home appliances, washing machine advertisements... Naoki-san, don't say, the signboard of Shu-Yu Film is really hard..."

Watching Shuichi Ido talk endlessly, Naoki Nagayama decisively grasped the keyword:

"You just said Toho?!"

"Yes..." Shuichi Ido said again. "Besides Toho, there are..."

"Chotto matte, it's Toho?!" Naoki Nagayama was even more surprised. "How can Toho cooperate with our Shu-Yu? Aren't they competitors?"

"How is it impossible?!"

Shuichi Ido's tone was filled with pride,

"Isn't there a saying, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests!"

"What's wrong with Toho cooperating with us? Before Shu-Yu, Toho and Toei, Toho and Shochiku, Shochiku and Kadokawa..."

There are so many investors in the film industry, and old film factories are actually their representatives... It is common for everyone to cooperate on a project to make money...

Of course, the premise is that you have the qualifications to enter this circle... Otherwise, you will face the collective suppression of the circle...

And now Shu-Yu Film has become a member of the circle!

"How much did you invest?" Naoki Nagayama asked. "What is the share?"

"Invested 500 million... As for the share, they want 30% of the box office... But Toho's theater resources can also be used..." Shuichi Ido explained.

"That's okay..." Naoki Nagayama nodded. This investment was already a lot. "Are there any other conditions?"

"Of course there are..." Shuichi Ido said. "The heroine needs to use Toho Cinderella... Yasuko Sawaguchi..."

"Haha, sure enough, there is capital entering the group..."

Naoki Nagayama breathed a sigh of relief. This is a very common thing in the film industry. In the past, it was just that all the investments were Shu-Yu itself.

"Yasuko Sawaguchi..."

The bright face of this last beauty of the Showa era flashed in his mind instantly. Naoki Nagayama was quite satisfied with Yasuko Sawaguchi,

"If Shuichi-san thinks it's okay, then there's definitely no problem!"

"I think so too!" Shuichi Ido laughed. "She came to audition before, and she is indeed an actor you can remember at a glance... The contrast with Xu Mudao is very distinct!"

"Ah, by the way, Shuichi-san, you want to let Kijima-kun play the protagonist!" Naoki Nagayama laughed. "Kijima-kun must be very nervous now! He is filming '101st Proposal', is it too late?"

"'101st Proposal' is already in the last five episodes... My movie is estimated to start filming next month, he has no problem!"

Shuichi Ido gave Naoki Nagayama a reassurance,

"This movie will definitely be able to make money steadily!"

"Haha, I have great confidence in Shuichi-san!"

Naoki Nagayama encouraged. He was just worried that when this movie was released, would everyone subconsciously ignore the protagonist's existence... Maybe it would cause supernatural stories like urban legends...

"The Movie Protagonist Who Can't Be Found", "The Man Who Really Has Zero Presence"...

After chatting with Naoki Nagayama on the set for a while, Shuichi Ido left full of energy. He still had to go to the site to see the venue!

Shimizu City, Shizuoka.

Near the old house of the Nagayama-gumi, two sneaky figures were secretly looking at it from a car.

"This is the residence of Naoki Nagayama's grandfather... that Yakuza boss..."

"Weekly Bunshun" editor-in-chief Kota Sakata and reporter Kotaro Obara came to Naoki Nagayama's hometown together. They came to step on the spot more than half a month in advance!

"Yes, I saw the Yakuza guarding the door!" Editor-in-chief Kota Sakata nodded and then quickly shrank back into the car. "But don't go and provoke them, don't forget our purpose!"

"Hmm, we have to find the Nagayama family's temple!" Kotaro Obara's face was firm. "We have to sneak in in advance!"

Kotaro Obara was the reporter who would rather become a monk to take photos of the wedding... After arriving in Shimizu, the two directly found the station of the Nagayama-gumi, and then inquired about it nearby...

Although the Nagayama family's temple is not big, its reputation is not small... This family temple is a temple supported by nobles in the past, and it is the former owner of the Nagayama-gumi's ancestral house...

Later, the family fell, and the clansmen became samurai/ronin, establishing a community called "Shimizu Ikka", which is said to have been passed down for five generations, and then Hayato Nagayama became the head of Shimizu Ikka and turned "Shimizu Ikka" into "Nagayama-gumi..."

In short, the family temple has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is said to have a history of a hundred years!

Although it is a family temple and does not open its doors to welcome pilgrims, it is also very famous among the residents nearby, and the two easily found the location.

"Kotaro-kun, are you sure?"

Kota Sakata asked with some hesitation,

"You really have to shave your head!"

This family temple naturally accepts monks to become monks and practice, but believes that monks must be pure in their six roots when practicing, so they must remove the hair of trouble... So if you want to enter the temple to practice, you must first shave your head!

This is a bit different from other temples in Japan...

After the two went to inquire, they got such information. Even if they want to practice for a short time, they must be sincere! After all, the family temple does not make money, so it only receives real practitioners...

"Daijobu! Hair! It will grow back!" Kotaro Obara said indifferently. "For the sake of news, for the sake of truth, this is worth it!"

"..."

Kota Sakata touched his sparse hair on the top of his head and complained in his heart, "Kotaro Obara, don't you know that text workers like editors are the easiest to be 'smart and top-heavy'?!"

"Kotaro-kun, you are about the same age, you have to cherish your hair!"

"???"

Kotaro Obara touched his head of hair, and when he took his hand down, there were two more hairs on his hand...

His heart panicked for a moment...

"Just this time, after this time, I will definitely buy the best hair cream and conditioner to protect my hair!"

"Since you have made up your mind... then let's go to the hair salon!"

"Hmm!"

Shimizu is not a big city... The hair salons here are naturally inherited from generation to generation. The craftsmanship is not very good, but it must be very skilled!

After the hair salon owner heard the needs of Kota Sakata and the two, he was surprised and even a little excited...

"Honto? Shave it all off?"

"Hai, I want to become a monk!" Kotaro Obara said firmly. "Trouble the boss!"

"Hahaha, this is the first time I've encountered a customer who wants to shave his head since I took over the hair salon!"

The hair salon owner's tone became excited, and then he ran to the back to start looking for it, and soon came out with a box.

"Speaking of which... for shaving, it's better to use a scraper! Clean and tidy, without leaving any stubble..."

"Scraper?" Kotaro Obara began to panic again. "Boss, can you use it?!"

"Of course! I learned it specifically from my father!" The boss said. "But I haven't had a chance to use it! I heard that my grandfather was specifically used to shave people's heads!"

"..."

"And there is a special shaving cream... It is said that it can inhibit hair follicle growth..."

"!!!"

Kota Sakata immediately waved his hand,

"This shaving cream, my friend can forget it! His scalp is relatively thin and allergic to many chemicals!"

"Is there such a thing?" The hair salon owner was a little puzzled, but the customer was still the priority. "Then forget it... Anyway, this kind of shaving cream is just an auxiliary... The main thing is to rely on my scraper!"

"..." Kotaro Obara looked at the sharp scraper and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "Boss-san... please be sure to be gentle..."
