Chapter 1377, Chapter 1386: Goodbye Michael Jackson!
"What? You can come earlier?"
Naoki Nagayama was quite surprised on the phone.
"That's really great!"
"I can go to Jurassic Island tomorrow, don't worry. I'll definitely have all the filming preparations done before he arrives!"
Akina, who was standing nearby, overheard this and asked curiously:
Who will arrive early?
"Michael Jackson! Come to Japan and help film a promotional video!"
Seeing Akina and Natsuka turn to look at him, Naoki Nagayama explained,
"The trip was originally scheduled for around the 25th, but his tour in the United States is about to start, so I decided to fly over to film before then and continue until the end."
"Todoroki?!"
Akina got excited immediately, because Michael Jackson was one of her musical idols.
"Yes, I'm going there tomorrow. I was originally planning to pick him up by private jet and wait for him at Narita Airport. This way, we can go to the island together."
Naoki Nagayama pulled out his contact list from the drawer, intending to call the airline to prepare tomorrow's itinerary. He also planned to call his company to request the immediate transfer of a filming crew.
Akina, who was originally sitting on the other side of the sofa, quietly moved to Naoki Nagayama's side and grabbed her husband's arm:
"Naoki-san~~~ Can I come along too~~"
"."
A little confused by Akina's request regarding the excessive sugar content, Naoki Nagayama maintained a stern expression:
"Akina, you're almost seven months pregnant now. It's really inconvenient!"
"It's okay, it's okay!"
Akina shook Nagayama Naoki's arm.
"My baby is very well-behaved, and I'm in good health. Staying at home all the time would be very stifling~ So this is like going out for some fresh air~"
"I just went on a spring outing a while ago!"
"..." Akina was momentarily speechless, but a woman always finds a way out. "Please, please~~"
What's even more despicable is that she actually dragged Xia Hua into it too:
"Hana-chan, come on, let's beg Daddy together!"
Please, please~~
The little one is at the age where he is very good at imitating adults. After hearing this, he immediately began to imitate him in a very good manner, his big eyes shining with a pleading light that was completely irresistible!
"Flower sauce!"
Naoki Nagayama touched Natsuka's cheek, glancing helplessly at his wife.
"Akina, you've ruined the flower sauce!"
"Hmph, I'm teaching her how to act!"
Akina naturally understood the agreement in Naoki Nagayama's words, and very contentedly hugged the little one, then took her upstairs.
"Alright, Hana-chan and I will go pack our luggage first. Naoki-san, you should go and make the arrangements!"
"."
Naoki Nagayama sat blankly on the sofa, feeling as if he had been completely controlled!
I'm so annoyed! But I still have to call the company.
The next day, around morning, Naoki Nagayama, along with Akina and Natsuka, arrived at the bustling Narita International Airport.
However, as VIP guests, they naturally went straight to the hangar through the VIP passage after getting off the car, where a white Gulfstream III jet was quietly parked.
"Mr. Suda, thank you for your help!"
Naoki Nagayama greeted Kazuhiko Suda, then asked Akina and the others to go inside and wait.
"There are still some people."
"Hey, just let me know when everyone's here!"
Suda Kazuhiko laughed heartily, saying that each flight would bring him more money!
Naoki Nagayama went to the waiting room to wait for Michael Jackson and his entourage's flight.
Fortunately, their flight was not delayed, and about half an hour later, Naoki Nagayama finally saw Michael Jackson with two assistants!
Even with makeup on, your natural charm doesn't lie.
"Michael!"
Naoki Nagayama stepped forward and gave him a big hug in welcome.
Thank you for coming!
“Naoki, my friend,” Michael Jackson laughed heartily, “It’s nothing! Absolutely nothing.”
"Alright, come with me~ We're going to fly one more time. It'll only take two hours!"
Naoki Nagayama led the way, and the two chatted as they walked.
How have you been resting lately?
Michael Jackson's Awesome World Tour was paused during the New Year, and the second phase is about to begin.
Although there will naturally be various performances and activities to participate in during this period, the rest time will be more than usual.
"Great. At least I have time to think about my new song!"
Michael Jackson seemed to suddenly remember something.
"By the way, I bought a ranch in California and plan to turn it into a private estate! According to the plans, it will have an amusement park, a zoo, an artificial lake, a theater, and so on."
"Oh?"
Naoki Nagayama was somewhat surprised; he remembered that he had only had this idea last year.
"So fast? How big is the area?"
"Approximately 2800 acres."
"That's quite a lot!"
Naoki Nagayama exclaimed in amazement, "As expected, America is vast and sparsely populated! This area is more than 2000 times the size of Yamazakurain today. However, Yamazakurain is, after all, a prime location in the city center, and it's quite remarkable that Tokyo could manage to create such a large area."
Even compared to Jurassic Island, it's half the size!
"Yes, I want a big place!"
Michael Jackson's eyes were full of longing.
"A dream manor of my own!"
"Haha, I must come and see it when it's built!"
"Of course! I'll definitely invite you to my housewarming party!"
"."
The two chatted as they walked into the hangar. Michael, upon seeing the beautiful Gulfstream aircraft, repeatedly praised it:
"Is this Naoki's private jet?!"
"Yes!"
Naoki Nagayama nodded.
"Michael could totally buy one, it's not too expensive! And it's very convenient."
"."
Michael Jackson hesitated. He had considered buying a private jet, but then he thought that his company always took care of his travels, so he didn't really need it. He could use the money for other things, like charity.
Moreover, now that they've bought the estate, they're a bit strapped for cash.
Let's forget about it for now.
As she spoke, she stepped onto the plane and saw the spacious and luxurious cabin. Suddenly, she felt a pang of envy.
"Hmm, private jets seem pretty good!"
"."
At that moment, Akina, who had already boarded the plane, saw Michael Jackson and stood up to welcome him:
"Michael, it's so good to see you again!"
"Akina!!"
Michael Jackson gently hugged Akina, then looked at her with surprise.
"Is it already this big? When will the baby be born?"
Around June.
Akina smiled and said,
"It's another beautiful season!"
"Oh no, only 3 months left!"
While Michael was still reminiscing, Akina pushed out Natsuka, who had been hiding behind her:
"Hua Jiang, does Uncle Michael remember you? He hugged you last year!"
The little guy looked at Michael in front of him with some shyness. He should remember him, after all, he had seen a black uncle before when he was a child!
"Summer flowers!"
Michael crouched down, smiled, and extended his hand, introducing himself in Japanese.
"I am Michael"
"My name is Nagayama Natsuka!"
Encouraged by Akina, the little guy reached out and shook hands, introducing himself fluently.
"So Xia Hua can already speak so fluently?"
Michael looked at the Yongshan couple with some surprise. When he came before, the little guy was still speaking one word at a time!
"The kids talk nonstop these days."
Akina sat in her seat, holding the little one.
"And they always mimic our way of speaking."
Naoki Nagayama asked everyone to sit down, and then instructed the captain to prepare for takeoff, before remarking with a sigh,
"Sometimes it even feels a bit noisy!"
"Haha, a happy problem."
As the group chatted, and Xia Hua secretly watched, the plane pulled out of the hangar, slowly accelerated on the runway, and then flew towards Jurassic Island!
Jurassic Island hasn't seen so many new faces since the last time a young man who smuggled himself onto the island was caught.
The filming crew mobilized by the tree friends had already arrived on the island early in the morning. In addition, the island's warehouse already contained the filming equipment from the last time, so the filming crew had already set it up before Naoki Nagayama arrived.
This time, the leader was Muneo Matsuo, who had snatched the mission from Masataka Komori.
If Masataka Komori hadn't been in charge of editing "Jurassic Park" and Kyoru Kijima hadn't gone off to film "Full House," he wouldn't have had the chance!
There was also Nishimoto Tomonyuki eyeing him covetously, but he was suppressed by Nishimoto's seniority, only managing to get a week's worth of drinks at Roppongi nightclubs after returning home.
However, he felt it was worth it to be able to participate in the filming of a Michael Jackson promotional video!
When will Matsuo and Naoki arrive?
A stagehand came to inquire.
"Our Tyrannosaurus Rex is ready on set! The Velociraptor model is also arranged!"
Today's promotional video features Michael Jackson as a tourist, being chased by a Velociraptor and nearly swallowed whole by a Tyrannosaurus Rex!
"It'll be soon!" Matsuo Muneo said. "I saw Naoki-san's plane land. Everyone, cheer up!"
"Hi!"
Meanwhile, Naoki Nagayama and Michael Jackson were sitting in an SUV, heading towards the film set.
As for Akina, she took a smoother sightseeing bus to the resort hotel.
"Jurassic Island is indeed huge!"
Michael Jackson had heard about Naoki Nagayama's island when he last visited, but he hadn't been there.
"How big is it?"
"Approximately 2200 hectares, which is roughly equivalent to 5600 acres."
"Haha, that's almost double the size of my Dream Manor."
Michael Jackson laughed.
"How much did you buy it for?"
"16 billion yen," Naoki Nagayama estimated, "about 1400 million US dollars."
"It seems the islands are cheaper."
"Yes, this was basically a deserted island back then! The subsequent construction cost a lot of money!"
"."
As they chatted, the two arrived at the film set.
When Michael Jackson saw the enormous and realistic Tyrannosaurus Rex model, he was naturally amazed once again. The King of Pop must have been surprised countless times today!
"It's so realistic!"
"It can still move!"
Naoki Nagayama gestured to Muneo Matsuo to make the Tyrannosaurus Rex move and roar, which made Michael Jackson quite envious for a while, and he repeatedly said that he wanted to have a dinosaur model made for his Neverland Ranch!
"You can't have this Tyrannosaurus Rex."
Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, pointing to the other velociraptor models on set.
"But once filming is finished, I can give you a velociraptor!"
"Then it's settled!"
Michael Jackson had a big smile on his face.
"Alright. Let's get ready for filming first, Michael. Your schedule is tight! Your clothes are fine, they're tourist attire, but please get your makeup done first."
After Naoki Nagayama sent the person to the dressing room, he discussed the envisioned filming scenario with Muneo Matsuo.
Holding his ticket, Michael Jackson, his face contorted with terror, huddled behind a shop display case, trembling uncontrollably. Outside, the screams of tourists and the roars of dinosaurs filled the air—a scene of utter chaos.
He was just on vacation, but he never expected to encounter such an unexpected incident! Now he's trapped in the small shop, completely panicked!
My God
Muttering an American slang term, Michael turned his head to look out through the shop window, trying to check the situation.
Just then, a velociraptor's head suddenly popped out, startling Michael so much that he immediately shrank back behind the display case, covering his mouth and daring not to make a sound!
The velociraptor seemed to sense something, shaking its head and peering through the glass of the display window. Its yellow eyes were cunning and fierce, and it made gurgling sounds. Then, it began banging its head against the display case.
"bang bang bang"
Michael Jackson hid behind the cupboard, trembling with fear, but he still picked up the iron bar stool, ready to fight to the death if the velociraptor came in!
Just as the velociraptor crashed through the glass, a roar rang out at the perfect moment!
A head that occupied the entire storefront descended from the sky and snatched the velociraptor that had just been about to devour a man. The once ferocious velociraptor was now like a chick, being torn to pieces without any resistance!
Only Michael Jackson remained in the shop window, staring blankly as the Tyrannosaurus Rex with its mouth full of blood walked away.
"Click!!"
Naoki Nagayama called "cut" at the right moment.
After that sound, a large number of staff members poured out of the shop, and those who were operating the velociraptors and those who were cleaning up the blood plasma all began to rearrange the scene!
"Michael!"
After filming began, Naoki Nagayama resumed his role as director and maintained high standards for Michael Jackson.
"Your fear just now seemed a bit fake. Try sweating a little more later and see if it helps!"
"Okay~"
"And if you want to keep fighting back, a high stool might not be a good choice!"
Michael Jackson had expressed his opinion before filming began, insisting that he not be portrayed as a coward. He suggested:
"How about we put a Remington shotgun in the cabinet next to the shop window?!"
"This isn't an American street; this is a shop in a park!"
"Stores in America have guns too!"
"."
As expected of America, gunfights are commonplace here!
"At least the shops in Jurassic Park don't carry guns!"
"All right."
Michael Jackson looked somewhat disappointed.
"So how should we retaliate?"
"Let's use a fire extinguisher. How about we put one out?"
Naoki Nagayama suggested,
"It acts like a smokescreen, confusing the velociraptor and allowing it to escape."
"Aren't you going to fight back?"
"Even an ordinary person wouldn't dare to approach a rabid, biting Chihuahua, and you actually want to fight back against this life-sized, cold-blooded velociraptor hunter with sharp teeth and claws?!"
"Hmm, it does seem difficult."
After discussing for a while, Naoki Nagayama and Michael Jackson decided on their counterattack weapon and prepared for the next shoot!
"Ready. Action!"
"."
