Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 1187 1196, None of the opposition parties can fight!

After picking up her eldest son from kindergarten and returning to her home in Kunitachi City, Yamaguchi Momoe felt very happy today.

Sure enough, women need to go shopping to relax every once in a while, especially celebrities like her who are under a lot of pressure.

After packing up the things she bought, chatting with her eldest son about daily life in kindergarten and settling her second son, Yamaguchi Momoe looked at the sky and began to prepare dinner.

"Tonight, let's make fried salmon!"

As a housewife, I have no time to spare once I get home.

Gradually, the aroma of food wafted from the white room.

Tomokazu Miura went to the office today to learn about the contract signing matters. He felt relieved to know that his schedule was completely free for the next few months. Then he went to a nearby pachinko to play a few rounds, a bad habit he developed when he was down and out in the past few years.

In the evening, the empty wallet made Miura Tomokazu feel a little empty inside, and as he got closer and closer to home, the emptiness of wasting time made him feel more ashamed towards his wife at home.

"I won't play with it anymore! From today on, I'm going to give up playing with steel marbles!"

It just so happens that I will be playing the leading actor again, and I need to pay attention to my personal image.

I opened the door and walked into the hallway:

"I am back!"

“Welcome home.”

Yamaguchi Baihui, wearing an apron, leaned half of her body out of the kitchen and smiled at him.

"I'm frying fish and can't leave~ Yuutarou, help daddy put the bag away!"

"Hi"

The eldest son Yuutarou was watching TV in the living room. When he heard the news, he immediately ran over and welcomed his father like a little adult.

"Welcome home!"

Then he diligently helped take the briefcase and put away the coat. I learned this from my mother.

Returning to such a home, Miura Tomokazu only felt a sense of warmth~

When he reached the kitchen door, he smelled the aroma of meat, but he didn't go in. The kitchen at home was exclusively for his wife. He just leaned against the door and talked:

"Did you take Guida to get vaccinated today?"

"Hey, I've already done it. There are only a few shots left."

Yamaguchi Momoe answered while busying herself. Her second son was already over one year old and almost two years old, and all the basic vaccinations had been completed.

"Afterwards, I went shopping with Akina-chan~"

"Oh? Did you meet Akina-chan?" Tomokazu Miura was a little surprised. He didn't pay too much attention to the social interactions among the ladies.

"It's an appointment."

Yamaguchi Momoe skillfully served the main course for dinner and then began to distribute the food. Both of her children were able to eat the staple food.

After four plates of food were served on the table, the family began to enjoy the delicious meal and chat about their daily routine.

"Did Anata's visit to the office go smoothly today?"

"Hi, the contract has been signed. Next we have to prepare for the makeup photo shoot and wait for the filming of "Departures" to start." Miura Tomokazu said, "But it seems that Shuyou hasn't decided on all the roles yet."

"Is that so?" Yamaguchi Baihui suddenly remembered, "Oh, right. There is something!"

She took a thick manuscript from the living room and handed it to her husband.

"It's said to be the complete version of the script. Naoki-san was going to give it to you, but Akina-chan brought it to me by the way."

"Oh?"

Tomokazu Miura took it and flipped through it briefly. It was indeed the complete script, which also proved that he had indeed been chosen as the male lead!

"I'll take a look these days." Miura Tomokazu put down the script and thought about continuing to eat, and then he saw the sumptuous dinner. "Naoki-san told me before that he wanted me to adjust my image according to the role. It's really a headache."

"Eh?"

"It's said that you took too good care of Baihui. I'm missing the male protagonist in "Departures", who is middle-aged and has a bad career. He looks thin and serious."

Miura Tomokazu's words made Yamaguchi Momoe next to him laugh. She looked at her husband's slightly round cheeks, and then looked at the chubby faces of her eldest son and second son. She really raised them well!

“Haha, okay, I’ll cook white food for Youhe from now on!”

White rice? A few lettuce leaves chopped up and mixed together, with boiled eggs, beef and chicken?! Is that what people eat?!

".There's no need to be so exaggerated."

"Haha~"

After finishing dinner, playing with the two children and putting them to bed, Yamaguchi Baihui finally got a rare quiet time.

In order to avoid the white food, her husband Tomokazu Miura decided to start running at night, so she was the only one left at home for the time being.

She originally wanted to watch TV, but the thick script on the table aroused her interest.

After all, she is a veteran actor who has starred in many movies and TV series, and she also wants to see what is the difference between Naoki Nagayama's script and others.

Opening "Departures", Yamaguchi Baihui gradually immersed herself in the plain yet touching story~

When Miura Tomokazu came back home after jogging, he didn't shout "I'm back" loudly in order not to disturb the children. In the corridor, he saw the soft light of the living room, and then he saw Yamaguchi Momoe who was reading attentively.

At this time, Yamaguchi Momoe was looking at the script seriously, her brows slightly furrowed, and she was muttering the lines from time to time, just like when they were filming "The Dancing Girl of Izu" together before!

Just as gentle and serious, just as full of charm~

Perhaps it was the sound of Miura Tomokazu's approaching footsteps that woke up Yamaguchi Baihui. She looked up and smiled when she saw her husband:

"you are back?!"

"Hmm~" Miura Tomokazu actually felt embarrassed for a moment as if he had been caught peeking, "I haven't run for a long time. I'm a little tired after only half an hour today."

"Haha, then you need to exercise well~" Yamaguchi Momoe laughed.

"."

Tomokazu Miura felt that he was being ridiculed and shook his head helplessly.

Then he walked to the sofa, looked at the script on Yamaguchi Baihui's lap and asked:

"How is it? The script of 'Departures'?"

"There are many lines in the film that are worth remembering," said Yamaguchi Baihui with emotion. "The protagonist's inner thoughts and changes after being exposed to the profession of undertaker are described in a simple yet profound way."

"The interaction between husband and wife is dull, but the outburst of emotion behind it is brief and intense."

Yamaguchi Baihui looked at her husband,

"It's so vivid, just like a real-life couple. We need to grasp it well!"

He took the script and looked at it. This was the clip from his audition that day. Miura Tomokazu looked at his wife again and was impressed by her talent for acting:

"Momoe, you are really good at acting! This part is exactly what Naoki-san said the other day that it was very difficult."

"Oh? Really?" Yamaguchi Baihui smiled, "If Youhe needs it, I can help you rehearse~"

As he said that, he pushed Miura Tomokazu towards the bathroom:

"Hurry up and take a shower! You're so sweaty!"

"."

Rehearsal? Miura Tomokazu was in the shower with many thoughts in his mind. It would be nice if they could perform together. If they were to play a couple, who could be more suitable than a real couple? !

Lying in bed at night, Miura Tomokazu couldn't sleep and leaned on the pillow, staring blankly at the ceiling.

In the quiet night light, suddenly there came these words:

"Bai Hui, do you want to limit your comeback to just once?"

".?"

The establishment of the Tokyo Film Society was like a firecracker dropped beneath the surface of the entertainment industry.

There doesn't seem to be much splash on the surface, but there is an undercurrent surging in the deep water.

These days, application forms simply to join the industry association have filled up the fourth floor of the Shuyou Building, which has been temporarily allocated as the office of the Tokyo Film Industry Association.

Today, after Naoki Nagayama came to the Shuyou Building, he went to the fourth floor on purpose and looked at the words "Tokyo Film Industry Association External Office Center" on the sign at the door, which made him laugh.

"If they don't elect Otomo-san in the next election, then they won't be able to use this office center!"

Shuichi Idou said from the side, and then led Naoki Nagayama into the office center.

Naturally, the industry association will not let a few standing committee members and the president and vice president as grassroots staff. In fact, it still recruits some administrative staff, planners and financial staff.

However, due to the heavy workload of reviewing applications in recent days, Fangcun Dayou transferred some employees from Shuyou to provide temporary assistance.

At this point, the entire fourth floor has taken shape, like a normally functioning organization.

"In just over two days, we have received thousands of applications."

Idou Shuichi said excitedly,

"In addition to a large number of behind-the-scenes personnel, there are also actors and students. However, we have very high requirements. They must have at least one year of experience working in the film-related industry before they can become members."

"Then there are membership fees. Originally, they were collected once a year, but many applicants sent their membership fees directly!"

“The postmen who often come to Tree Friends are a little worried about being robbed on the road.”

The membership fee of the Tokyo Film Industry Association is not high. The joining fee is 2000 yen, and the annual fee is only 1000 yen. It is cheaper than the membership fee of some idol fan clubs.

Naoki Nagayama laughed out loud after hearing this:

"Haha, from a letter delivery man to an armed escort for a bank!"

"Ha, yes." Yi Tangxiu said with a smile, "I have spent tens of millions of dollars on myself every day these past two days."

After inspecting the good start of the Tokyo Film Association with Shuichi Ido, Naoki Nagayama felt relieved and returned to the office to continue chatting about the work of the association.

"Daily matters such as membership applications and dues are handled by the people we recruit. Xiuyi-san just needs to check on them on time."

Naoki Nagayama poured a cup of tea for Shuichi Idou and talked about future work.

"But the first thing the association must do is to do well. Once the budget funds from the Ministry of Education are in place, we will start by visiting elderly actors who are in financial difficulties."

The Japanese film industry is a decadent and extravagant industry. Many actors became famous when they were young and made a lot of money. They then spent money on clubs, young ladies, luxury goods, and luxury cars. They spent money lavishly and could not accumulate much wealth.

When I get older and less famous, I can only make a living by playing supporting roles.

When he can no longer work, he will face the consequences of his wife divorcing him and dividing his pension, or his mistress taking away all his money. In the end, he lives a very miserable life and cannot even go to the hospital when he is sick!

The Tokyo Film Industry Association's debut is to provide some help to these miserable actors.

Of course, no one would object to choosing this kind of charity work as the first action to show the film industry. After all, everyone has compassion, and everyone wants to show their kindness in this world of fame and fortune.

If we choose other things, such as calling for better treatment for behind-the-scenes staff, calling on agencies to reduce the commissions of actors, providing support for film projects, and advising on the development direction of the film industry, all of these will more or less affect the interests of other parties and may cause resistance.

Wait until the Tokyo Film Industry Association grows and matures before tackling those tough problems.

"Have you chosen the elderly actor who is in a difficult situation?" Naoki Nagayama asked.

"Yes." Idou Shuichi said, "The film industry has always had spontaneous charity activities. They have a list. This time they all gathered here."

"Well, then do a good job of reporting before and after the event!"

"of course!"

Although Japan has a culture of shame, I don't want others to see my embarrassment, but I can't survive, so it's nothing.

People who are really thin-skinned can't be actors~

After chatting for a while, Yoshimura Otomo came in, holding some documents and said to Nagayama Naoki:

"Naoki-san, these are projects that have something to do with the Ministry of Education."

Seeing that Idou Shuichi next to him did not seem to be shy:

"They all have dealings with some officials from the Ministry of Education."

Yesterday, Naoki Nagayama came to talk to Yoshimura Otomo about the bribery case. Yoshimura Otomo took it very seriously and sorted out these materials today.

“Is it a large amount?”

“There are about several hundred thousand.”

"Well, that's not too much~"

The connection between Shuyou and the Ministry of Education is not close. For most of Shuyou Film's projects, the main funds are from its own, and it does not participate in deep exchange money laundering or other activities.

"Deal with these documents~"

Naoki Nagayama flipped over it slightly.

"In the future, apart from the usual PR, don't give too much money."

"Hi!"

"Then check and don't participate in any projects related to Liccut in the future!"

"Hi"

Fangcun Dayou put away the documents with a serious face, and hurried out, and then asked the professional financial staff to prepare the accounts.

And Idou Shuichi was a little confused:

"Naoki-san, what's wrong?"

"It's about some internal trading projects."

Shuichi Idou has been busy with the Tokyo Film Industry Association's affairs these past two days, so Naoki Nagayama didn't tell him about it. Today, he just happened to tell him about the Recruit bribery case.

"What?! Someone is already investigating?"

Idou Shuichi said in astonishment.

"Well, anyway, I got the inside information, but Xiuyi-san, please don't spread it out. This is a political incident, be careful not to get into trouble!"

"."

Shuichi Idou stood up and walked back and forth in the office, wondering if he had ever come into contact with Ricturn.

After a while, he finally felt relieved.

"I really didn't expect that." Ito Xiuyi opened the window and lit a cigarette. "For such a big company, it should be a shocking case after the incident is exposed, right?!"

"should be"

After all, the Liberal Democratic Party has been turned into an opposition party!

"Naoki-san," Idou Shu put his cigarette into the ashtray and looked at Nagayama Naoki, "After what you just said, the Liberal Democratic Party will suffer a heavy blow and will lose its ruling power and seats among the members of parliament."

"Yes." Naoki Nagayama nodded. "As far as I know, there are many people in the Liberal Democratic Party involved. The Liberal Democratic Party may even split up to distance itself from the matter!"

"Politicians from the opposition parties will definitely not give up such a good excuse and use slogans such as opposing bribery to attract voters!"

"."

After hearing this, Idou Shuichi even got a little excited.

"Naoki-san, since we already know this in advance, do you think we can take this opportunity to gain some political resources?!"

"?" Naoki Nagayama looked at Idou Shuichi in surprise, "Shuichi-san, do you want to go into politics?!"

"."

When Yitang Xiuyi heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he felt a little moved for a moment!

Besides, he is now the president of the Tokyo Film Industry Association. It is not impossible for him to do some practical things during his three-year term and then use this as a springboard to enter politics!

At least with the support of Shuyou Group, there is a high probability of becoming a member of parliament!

Politicians! One of the highest social classes in Japan! How can ordinary people not think about it!

However, Idou Shuichi was only moved for a moment, and then he quickly became rational. For someone like him who has no political foundation, even if he becomes a member of parliament, he will not make much of a splash after his term ends.

Want to become a top leader of a major party? Or even a leader of the ruling party? Then become a member of the cabinet? Or even become the prime minister? !

impossible!

"What I mean is that at that time, I support the establishment of some small parties," said Idou Shuichi, "such as parties that focus on soft power such as movies and culture. Didn't Naoki-san also say before that he would support the elections of some members of parliament?!"

"Oh?"

After listening to this, Naoki Nagayama began to think. Indeed, he had mentioned before that he would interfere in high-level politics and support the election of members of parliament.

At that time, I was thinking about supporting one or two local councilors in the Shizuoka area by virtue of my status as a big forest owner and landowner!

The Recruit bribery case caused the public to lose confidence in the Liberal Democratic Party. Afterwards, it seems that many short-lived small parties have appeared in the political arena, called the New Party, the Pioneer New Party, the New Life Party, etc.

They are all small political parties established with the goal of building a "new Neon" by taking advantage of people's distrust of the old regime.

It seems that in the end they all united in the New Party to become the second largest opposition party, and then they split and reunited, with some of them becoming the Democratic Party. There were even some party members who turned back and returned to the Liberal Democratic Party!

On the contrary, the Liberal Democratic Party has always been the largest party and has been in power for a long time.

The opposition party in Japan is no good! None of them can fight!

"Does Shuichi-san know any councillors?"

“Of course I know a few.”

"Then we can arrange to meet some other day. After all, our Shuyou is a big company, so it doesn't matter who we give our political donations to."

Naoki Nagayama said,

"But it's better to confirm first that he is not a greedy person and has no connection with the Recruit Company!"

"Hey, I'll confirm this in advance!"
