Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapters 1460 and 1469: Everyone genuinely admires Naoki-san!

"Let's go have some fun! The anime festival is so exciting!"

"No, we'll be discovered if we go out together, and there will be a lot of gossip!"

"It's okay. We can pretend!"

Yukiko Okada said to Masaharu Fukuyama, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Besides, Akina-san and Naoki-san went to the anime convention and were discovered, but nothing happened to them, right?!"

Reports of Akina Nakamori's appearance at the anime festival caused a stir in the entertainment industry for a day, then gradually faded away, but it actually made the anime festival even more popular.

"."

Masaharu Fukuyama felt a little uneasy, but seeing his girlfriend's expectant look, he eventually softened.

At the age of under twenty, people are fearless and can be blinded by love!

For a boyfriend, a request from a girlfriend deeply in love is something he'd do anything to fulfill, even if it meant plucking the stars from the sky or the moon.

In addition, since they were photographed before, Masaharu Fukuyama and Yukiko Okada did not actually receive any real punishment, which made the young couple even bolder!

Seeking thrills, the young couple secretly put on makeup and went to the Akihabara anime festival without informing their manager.

"It's really lively!"

Yukiko Okada, holding Masaharu Fukuyama's hand, watched the passing crowds and sighed.

"It's been three days, and there are still so many people!"

"Yes, I've heard that many top artists are selling original artwork!"

Masaharu Fukuyama was also very pleased.

"Let's go take a look!"

"it is good!"

The two strolled around the anime convention like a normal couple, taking photos with life-size statues of each anime character. They would occasionally find hidden anime details and burst into laughter. They also browsed through the various specialty shops and bought quite a few souvenirs.

In short, Masaharu Fukuyama and Yukiko Okada had a great time at the anime convention!

Speaking of disguise, as long as Yukiko Okada goes out without makeup, most male celebrities would blend into the crowd without makeup, and ordinary people wouldn't recognize them without makeup. But in Japanese society, it's absolutely impossible for a girl not to wear makeup!

Especially when you're traveling with your loved one~

So Yukiko Okada wore a thick-bangs wig and sunglasses, only revealing a bit of her nose and mouth, while Masaharu Fukuyama also wore a hat.

Logically speaking, their disguise was quite effective; with so many people at the anime convention, others might not even notice them.

But this is Akihabara, which just experienced the filming of Akina Nakamori and Naoki Nagayama.

Since the news broke that celebrities might be coming, the number of paparazzi in Akihabara has tripled, according to an unnamed source!

Many professional journalists also came to the streets, even if they couldn't get photos of the celebrities, they could still report on the anime event!

By this time, paparazzi had already been watching the two of them!

Katsutoshi Kawano kept pressing the shutter button; Akihabara was full of people taking pictures, and he did it very naturally.

"Masaharu Fukuyama and Yukiko Okada haven't learned their lesson at all!"

"Yeah yeah."

Numata Hatsuyo, holding a skewer of dumplings and eating them, sighed.

"It's so great to be young! You don't have to worry about anything!"

Actually, the two recognized each other shortly after Masaharu Fukuyama and Yukiko Okada entered Akihabara. What are a few wigs, sunglasses, and makeup compared to that? You know, truly skilled paparazzi can even recognize a celebrity by their gait; they're practically experts in trace evidence!

The paparazzi Hatsuyo Numata and Katsutoshi Kawano dared to chase Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori all the way to Otaru, where it was freezing cold and covered in snow!

These two are definitely the elite among veteran paparazzi!

"So this time, we're asking our tree-loving friends for some money?"

Kawano Katsutoshi replaced one roll of film with a new one.

"Should we find other media outlets and expose it directly?!"

"Expose it!"

Numata Shodai said,

"In recent years, the entertainment industry has become increasingly protective of artists' privacy. Our reputations in the underworld have been ruined, so exposing a golden couple will just boost our fame a bit more."

"That's true. Sigh, it's all Naoki Nagayama's fault!!"

"Yes, it's all his fault!"

In fact, the increased emphasis on protecting the privacy rights of celebrities is indeed inextricably linked to Naoki Nagayama!

Shuyou spearheaded the establishment of the Film Association, which can now be considered an artists' association, giving artists the support of a union. He won all his previous lawsuits against several media outlets and received substantial compensation, providing artists with case studies to learn from. Shuyou's protection of his artists has led to their booming careers and has also changed the attitudes of other agencies towards the media.

In short, due to the butterfly effect of Naoki Nagayama, apart from top idols who desperately need exposure or celebrities who specialize in creating buzz, other celebrities have resorted to legal means to deal with being photographed in private!

After all, suing the media itself generates buzz and increases exposure!

"When Masaharu Fukuyama and Yukiko Okada were photographed last time, the fans didn't react much, so they probably won't say anything this time either!"

"Yes, after all, 'Full House' is currently airing."

Their rambling conversation laid the foundation for tomorrow's and the day after entertainment headlines!

"Achoo!!"

On set, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but sneeze a few times, rubbed his nose, and complained.

"Someone must be badmouthing me behind my back again!"

"Ha, who would insult Naoki-san!"

Matsuo Muneo flattered him.

"Naoki-san is such a good person, everyone admires him from the bottom of their hearts!"

"!!."

Hearing such flattery, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but scratch his arm, which was already covered in goosebumps!

"Matsuo-kun, you must have been a figure like Yanagisawa Yoshiyasu in ancient times!"

In Japan, Yoshiyasu Yanagisawa is like Qin Hui! He's Japan's infamous "number one treacherous minister"!

"."

Upon hearing this, Matsuo Muneo's face fell.

But then I thought about it again. At that time, Yoshihiro Yanagisawa was a very famous and influential figure. His every move could affect many people. It seemed pretty good!

Nishimoto Tomoyuki, standing to the side, rolled his eyes.

"Whether Matsuo-kun can shoulder great responsibilities isn't determined by his words! He needs to work hard!"

Actually, the group was chatting during their break, discussing who would be listed first among the two assistant directors.

"Who said I rely on my words?!"

Matsuo Muneo directly strangled Nishimoto Tomoyuki by the neck.

"I'm relying on my strong, powerful arms!! As long as I take you down..."

"Going to get a tooth pulled!!"

"."

The two assistant directors were getting along so well that Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but laugh.

However, he also knew that there wasn't any major conflict between the two. They were both core members of the fourth generation of directors at Shuyou, and their usual playful banter only showed their close relationship.

"OK OK."

After a while, Naoki Nagayama spoke up to stop the two.

"Matsuo-kun, let the crew get ready. Let's continue filming!"

"Hi!"

Upon receiving the order, Nishimoto Tomoyuki also threw himself back into his work.

The scene here is a large open-plan office filled with computers and data cables, and it is here that Leon Lai will reveal his true identity.

"Leon, you've already read the script."

Before filming, Naoki Nagayama and Leon Lai communicated.

Have you figured out how you're going to act?

"Yes, I already know!"

Dawn nodded.

"As an undercover agent, once you arrive at your own 'nest,' you should feel relaxed and confident."

"Correct!"

Naoki Nagayama nodded.

"You can even be more casual with some people, and speak more freely."

"After all, they are your 'family' now!"

"Mmm." Dawn nodded.

However, Naoki Nagayama hadn't finished speaking:

"Leon, but I need you to remember this situation. Because as the story progresses, you will gradually drift away from the people here and shift your focus to the 'home' of the caravan!"

"The shifts in mindset and the changes in performance need to be well portrayed."

Ultimately, you need to perform well in the team's 'home' environment.

"."

Leon Lai listened quietly, keeping the director's words in mind. This was the requirement for him throughout the film, and he naturally had to take it seriously.

"Alright, let's go try out this scene first!"

"Ok!"

The other supporting actors in this scene are all veteran actors, so their acting skills are not a problem. Therefore, after a brief discussion, Naoki Nagayama did not make any further demands on them.

So, after the crew completed preparations...

"On your marks, get set, action!"

Li Ming was seen being led into the room handcuffed by two policemen. Computers were lined up in a row, and the blackboard was full of clues and information. The policemen were busy working on it.

Once inside, Li Ming complained to his colleagues:

"Koji, take these handcuffs off me right now! They're strangling me!"

"Ha, you always have to put on a show when you're out in public. Who knows if there's a second pair of eyes watching you!"

The policeman, played by Leon Lai, smiled as he unlocked his handcuffs, and Leon Lai's superior came over and led him away.

"How's it going? Have you infiltrated their ranks?"

"How could it be so fast!"

Li Ming rubbed his wrist.

"Donnie is very cautious. I've only just met him!"

"Then you need to speed up!"

Another senior police officer said,

"Several robberies recently. All involving street racers! Maybe it's one of Donnie's."

"Donnie is a key figure in the street racing community; he would definitely know if it was something the street racers did."

Dawn said,

"However, this person is very disciplined, so it shouldn't have been his team who did it!"

However, my former boss said:

"Don't trust Donnie too soon. He almost killed someone when he was in America!"

As he spoke, he patted Dawn on the shoulder:

"You can know a person's face but not their heart, Leon. Don't be fooled by his appearance; he's full of violent tendencies!"

"We sent you undercover to uncover evidence of his crimes!"

"."

Li Ming nodded, indicating his understanding.

At this moment, another police officer spoke up:

"Also, you need to speed things up. The pressure from above is mounting lately. If the robberies continue, the entire team will be held accountable!"

"."

Dawn can only promise,

I will speed things up.

"Crack!"

Naoki Nagayama yelled "Cut!" and then gestured for the actors to come over.

"The performance just now didn't seem to put enough pressure on you."

"??"

"You need to make the external pressure more urgent."

Naoki Nagayama glanced at the two police officers, his eyes flashing, and casually picked up the script to start rewriting the lines:

"The two superiors can play the good cop and the bad cop, with one of them giving more reprimanding lines such as 'I trusted you, that's why I sent you undercover,' 'Are you even capable? If not, we'll replace you,' 'Even a dog could do a better job than you.'"

At this point, Naoki Nagayama paused for a moment and silently crossed out this line:

"Ahem... That last attack was a bit too much! Let's just leave it at that."

At this moment, the actors and staff who witnessed Naoki Nagayama writing his lines on the spot exchanged glances and made a silent decision in their hearts—never to argue with Naoki Nagayama again!

When they heard the comment, "Even a dog could do a better job than you," they all felt a pang of sadness.

Just thinking about it makes me realize how aggressive those lines are; who knows what you'll hear during an argument!

You'll probably get yelled at and cry!!

Naoki Nagayama revised the lines, handed them over to the actors, and said:

"Familiarize yourselves with this script, then repeat it once more."

"Hi!" X3

Akina Yamazakura was in a good mood at that moment.

After going out to relax, I felt more energetic when taking care of my two children again!

Nowadays, all Nagayama Ren knows is to eat and sleep, so when she has free time, Akina pays more attention to Natsuka.

As July gradually enters its second half and temperatures rise, there's another important event approaching – Hua Jiang's birthday!

After becoming parents, Akina's focus shifts to her children, and she even stops caring much about her own birthday.

It was early July, but there wasn't a big celebration. Naoki Nagayama just sent a birthday present, and some friends called to congratulate him.

However, Akina remembers Natsuka's birthday very well!

For her previous birthday, her first birthday was celebrated in Jurassic Island, and Akina wants to have a proper celebration this time as well.

"Flower jam."

Akina called Natsuka, who was playing with toys, over, tidied her hair, and then asked,

"Your birthday is coming up soon, where would you like to celebrate it this time?"

"??"

The little one doesn't remember much about what happened a year ago.

"Aren't you spending your birthday at home?"

"Hmm, do you remember that island with lots of dinosaurs? Your birthday was on Jurassic Island before, do you want to celebrate it this time?"

The little guy frowned slightly, searching his memory carefully. He vaguely remembered things like beaches and dinosaur models, but it seemed pretty good. And as long as his parents were there, he was happy to celebrate his birthday anywhere.

So Xia Hua nodded:

"want!!"

"Alright. Let's spend the year there too!"

Akina hugged Natsuka and laughed.

"Then Hana-chan can play with Wild Grass Brother, Dong-wu Brother, and Little Sayuri-chan again!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxia Hua's face immediately lit up with a happy smile! She had a great time playing with her older brothers and sisters during Yongshan Lian's full-moon celebration a while ago!

"Okay, okay!!"

Akina was pleased to see her daughter's happy expression, but something else came to mind:

"August is also the time when Jurassic Park opens. I wonder if Naoki-san will have any plans then."

If the park's opening time conflicts with Hana-chan's birthday, should we make some adjustments on our end?

"Never mind, I'll just talk to Naoki-san about it tonight!"

Akina shook her head.

"However, there's a high chance Naoki-san will just ask for a few days' delay. Hahaha~"
