Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapters 1530 and 1539: If you dare disturb Naoki-san's chapters, you're dead!

Chapter 1530, 1539: If you dare disturb Naoki-san, you're dead!

"Ni-chan, the film festival is over, I have to go. Sayonara~~"

In the top-floor office of the tree friend, Tsuruko waved goodbye for the last time, her face bearing the smile that all employees have when they voluntarily resign—a smile full of freedom, relaxation, and happiness.

In short, it felt like escaping from a sea of ​​suffering.

Naoki Nagayama had seen this kind of smile many times in his past life. Even when someone was laid off, as long as they received compensation and didn't make too much of a scene, they would usually have this kind of smile on their face when they left the company on their last day.

Sigh. So what exactly does work bring to people?!

"Okay, okay, let's go!"

Naoki Nagayama swung his hand.

"But you have to come to Yama-oka-in tonight! I already told Hana-chan this morning!"

I was supposed to have Tsuruko go to dinner earlier, but something came up and I was delayed, so it ended up being the day Tsuruko left her job.

"no problem!"

Tsuruko walked out of the office with light steps, and the sounds of her saying goodbye to other employees could still be faintly heard. Soon after, a burgundy Aston Martin drove out of the Shuyou Building parking lot.

"Tsk tsk. They even managed to get the prop car."

When Naoki Nagayama saw it through the window, he curled his lip. Before leaving, Tsuruko had taken advantage of her status as a member of the company to buy a luxury car from "Fast & Furious" at an internal price. What was this? Was she trying to fleece him?

Naoki Nagayama shook his head again and went to the office next door:

"Otomo-san, let's go see the edited version of 'Fast & Furious'!"

After so long, the movie "Fast & Furious" is finally almost finished editing, and it will now proceed with the release as scheduled.

"Okay, sure."

Yoshimura Otomo stood up and stretched. He was busy every day, so this was a good opportunity to rest. Besides, a movie directed by Naoki Nagayama was bound to be of high quality!

"Oh right, Tsuruko left?"

"They're gone."

The two walked and talked, and Naoki Nagayama sighed.

"Even though Tsuruko's job was already so easy, she left as if she had put down a huge burden!"

"Work is bound to make people..."

Yoshimura Otomo pondered for a moment and came up with a word.

"Not free!"

"yes."

Having to complete fixed tasks at fixed times and places every day is clearly alienating people into robots!

Unlike wealthy executives, who can derive a sense of accomplishment and happiness from their work, ordinary workers can only gain wages from their jobs, which is not equivalent to the value of their labor.

Thinking about his work experience in his previous life, and the agonizing pain in his heart at the end, Naoki Nagayama shuddered.

"Otomo-san, please add an extra hour to the lunch break from now on so the employees aren't too tired!"

"what?"

Yoshimura Daito was stunned. He didn't understand why the company's benefits had increased so much after taking an elevator ride.

However, since it was Naoki-san who spoke up, there was no need for him to stop him. After all, the treatment of the tree friends was already very good, so there was no harm in improving it a little more.

"Okay, I'll notify the General Affairs Department to distribute the notices later."

"Um"

Just then, the elevator arrived at the film department's floor.

Naoki Nagayama led Otomo Yoshimura directly to the small screening room in the editing studio. At that moment, Muneo Matsuo and several other editors, as well as people from the publicity department, were waiting.

"Naoki-san, Ōtomo-san".

Upon seeing the two bigwigs, everyone stood up to greet them.

"Um"

After taking his reserved seat, Naoki Nagayama asked directly,

"Matsuo-kun, can we play it now?"

"Hi, I'm all set and ready!"

"Let's begin!"

Naoki Nagayama said with a smile,

"Let's take a look at this movie that's been filming for so long."

"Hi"

The lights in the editing room dimmed, and the screen in the screening room gradually lit up.

The opening scene is an intense high-speed robbery, where several modified vehicles, working together, steal the cargo loaded on a large truck!

Watching several cars chase and change lanes on the highway, performing difficult window-breaking maneuvers to stop the cars in the middle of traffic, instantly sends the audience's adrenaline soaring!

Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but recall when this scene was filmed, which took place on the port expressway in Tokyo and required a professional stunt driver to perform.

Next, Leon Lai, the male lead, parked the pickup truck next to the family restaurant. After entering the restaurant, he saw Shizuka Kudo leaning against the counter, lazily looking at the bill.

A slender waist, tight jeans, slightly loose hair, paired with large earrings—she exudes vitality and wildness.

When she saw Dawn enter, Shizuka Kudo's eyes lit up and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, like a wild cat that had suddenly woken up.

"I never imagined Shizuka-chan had grown so much."

Yoshimura Daitomo looked at Kudo Shizuka on the screen with some surprise.

In his mind, Shizuka Kudo had always been a rebellious female idol, like a teenage girl. However, in Naoki Nagayama's film, she surprisingly displayed a sexy and alluring demeanor.

"Looks like we can adjust Shizuka-chan's path from now on!"

As the president of Shuyou Entertainment, Yoshimura Hirotomo's first thought upon seeing the growth of his artists was to adjust Kudo Shizuka's career path.

The movie continued, and when Keiko Matsuzaka, the eldest sister figure, appeared, her mature and sexy charm caused the audience to hold their breath for a few seconds.

Then, like a hothead, Dawn got into a fight with a member of the street racing team.

Finally, when the eldest brother, Ken Takakura, wearing a tight vest, appeared, everyone immediately understood that this guy was definitely a big shot!

"Ken Takakura truly has the demeanor of a master!"

Yoshimura Otomo nodded in satisfaction; he was one of Takakura Ken's fans.

"I never imagined someone this age would still be so muscular!"

"."

Naoki Nagayama and Muneo Matsuo both edited the clips. I've watched the movie clips countless times, but watching them again is still incredibly moving.

A high-speed car chase along the Tokyo coastline, an extreme race on the five consecutive hairpin bends of Mount Akina, a police chase on the Kyoto loop. And then, in the heart of Tokyo, at the Shinjuku intersection, a deadly chase with police cars surrounding them.

The howling wind, the engine's sudden rise and fall, and the rapidly changing high-speed camera shots all seemed to accelerate the blood flow of everyone present, making their blood boil and their hearts race.

The brotherhood and mutual respect among the speed racers quietly seeped into everyone's hearts during this high-speed journey!

At the last moment, Ken Takakura, the gang leader, accidentally overturned his car during a police chase. Dawn, who was undercover, then gave his car keys to Takakura.

You need to think this through.

Ken Takakura held the car keys, speaking earnestly.

"In that case, you'll have no way out!"

After a few seconds of silence, Li Ming looked up and recited the agreement they had made shortly after meeting:

I still owe you a car.

Without a word, Ken Takakura accepted the key. He knew that from this moment on, he had gained another brother!

The sirens blared; police cars were closing in. But as the modified sports car slowly disappeared down the road, Dawn's eyes remained resolute.

As the screen slowly dimmed and the lights in the screening room came back on, Ishikawa Susumu from the publicity department finally let out a long breath:

"Whoa!!"

He turned to Naoki Nagayama with some excitement and said,

"Naoki-san, you're amazing!!!"

Speaking of which, this movie is the most exciting racing movie he has ever seen!

"Fast and Furious. Now I understand, these two words truly capture the essence of the movie!"

"."

Seeing Ishikawa's continuous flattery, Matsuo Muneo couldn't help but interrupt:

"Alright, alright, Ishikawa, save your breath. Use all those words in your promotional copy!"

"That's right!!"

Ishikawa Susumu immediately stood up.

"While the emotions in my mind are still churning, I must quickly write them down. Naoki-san, Otomo-san, please forgive my rudeness!"

"Haha, it's nothing, it's nothing."

Neither Yoshimura Otomo nor Nagayama Naoki had any complaints about their hardworking subordinates; both had warm expressions and spoke in kind tones.

Go ahead, go ahead.

After everyone left, Yoshimura Daitomo said with a smile:

"Naoki-san is such an exciting movie! I was deeply moved by the high-speed thrills and the brotherhood!"

"Haha, is Otomo-san reminiscing about the impulsiveness of his youth?"

"That's true."

Yoshimura Otomo nodded, and then said,

"Your film will have a significant impact on young people, especially those who are not yet employed or students! We need to be mindful of this when promoting it!"

"what!"

Naoki Nagayama smiled and said,

"Japan has so many gangster films, gory films, and adult films. We even made 'Hayato Den' before!"

Are you really worried that a racing movie will corrupt students?!

I'm worried.

Yoshimura Otomo shook his head, saying helplessly.

"Once the movie is released, the Ministry of Transportation will come after us, the Tree Friends, with the surge in data on street racing accidents!"

"Forehead"

It seems that this is indeed possible.

Naoki Nagayama paused for a moment, then instantly thought of a solution. He looked at Muneo Matsuo:

"Mr. Matsuo, please add the warning at the end of the video: 'Reckless driving will bring tears to your loved ones' eyes!'"

"It'll be right after the Easter egg!"

"Hey, I understand!"

After watching Naoki Nagayama give his instructions, Yoshimura Otomo continued:

"Is a preview screening going to be held next?"

"Yes, the previous trailer was already shown at the film festival, and another trailer will be released soon."

Naoki Nagayama nodded.

"We will hold a preview screening at the end of November and strive to release the film in early December!"

"Isn't this too rushed?"

"There's nothing we can do; Christmas is just around the corner. Judging from the weather, the snow might come earlier than usual this year."

As soon as the familiar words left his mouth, Naoki Nagayama suddenly recalled Dao Lang's "The First Snow of 2002." It was as if a valve had been turned on in his mind, and the melody and lyrics of the song quickly came to mind.

The sudden memory made Naoki Nagayama rub his head, but after so many years, he had adapted quite a bit and quickly suppressed the urge to write it down.

"Naoki-san? What's wrong?"

Yoshimura Otomo was slightly puzzled when he saw Nagayama Naoki suddenly pressing his temple.

"This posture... could it be..."

He quickly connected Naoki Nagayama's posture to something—Naoki-san's inspiration had exploded!

That's Naoki Nagayama's innate talent, which is considered a genius, and even a miracle by some close friends! He can compose a song in a very short time!

Unfortunately, ever since Naoki was hit on the head in an earthquake, he has appeared in public much less frequently.

"Oh, it's nothing. I've just been using my brain a lot these past few days."

Naoki Nagayama shook his head. These days, after returning home, he would try to recall the major events of the late Showa era to see if he could find any zaibatsu families that might be making moves to target his friend!

However, it had little effect. He hadn't studied the history of the Showa era in his previous life; he only paid attention to major events that reached foreign countries!

"Oh, I see."

Yoshimura Hirotomo seemed a little disappointed; he had thought he would get to see him again!

"Otomo-san, what are you feeling down about?"

Naoki Nagayama smiled and said,

Are you expecting something?

"I thought Naoki-san would write another song!"

Yoshimura Otomo pulled a small notebook from his pocket.

"Look, I still have this notebook with me!"

Ever since witnessing Naoki Nagayama's extraordinary abilities, Yoshimura Otomo has always carried a notebook in his pocket, hoping that when Naoki Nagayama's inspiration strikes again, he can write it down directly!

It's worth noting that Naoki Nagayama's original sheet music is a prized possession among long-time employees of the Nagayama fan club! He's also somewhat well-known in the entertainment industry!

Hayano Riko from the General Affairs Department was harassed, both openly and subtly, by Yoshimura Otomo, Itō Shuichi, and others because she had two songs in her notebook.

"Otomo-san, you..."

Naoki Nagayama took the notebook, his heart filled with emotion.

"You actually keep it all the time?"

"Haha, anyway, I sometimes use it myself."

Yoshimura Otomo laughed and said, "It's just a small notebook. It can indeed be used to record some important information. It can also be used as a phone book!"

"Look, there's still a pen, it just hasn't been there when Naoki-san had a burst of inspiration!"

This tiny fountain pen is actually specially made.

After receiving the song, Naoki Nagayama felt that he would be letting Otomo-san down if he didn't write something down, so he decided to write down the song he had just remembered.

"If that's the case..."

Naoki Nagayama picked up his pen, then stopped. This song by Dao Lang wasn't in Japanese; it didn't seem quite right.

Are there any other songs about snow?

Following this keyword, the song "Snowing" by Priscilla Chan suddenly came to mind.

Snowflakes drift by again, drifting through painful memories.

"This one won't do either!"

A flood of memories rushed in, but Naoki Nagayama's hand remained still, because it was another Chinese song.

"However, this song seems to be a cover of a Japanese song; it has an original singer."

Since his cheat system was upgraded, Naoki Nagayama can now use keyword searches to explore his subconscious. This makes things so much easier.

".

Bell（すず）なりの花（はな）をpick（つ）み (Pick flowers that bloom in bunches)

The wind blowing (ふ)く风(かぜ)に夏(なつ)をknow(し)る (The wind blowing tells me that summer is coming)

"

The melodious tune echoed in my ears, and the gentle, clear singing voice, tinged with a touch of melancholy, told a beautiful story as if chanting a nursery rhyme.

Like a dancer in a pink kimono, inviting you to embark on a journey accompanied by wisteria in the season of blooming flowers. This song is "Hanasaki-ku Tabiji"!

The rustling sound of a pen scratching across a notebook was even more noticeable in the quiet screening room.

Yoshimura Daitomo's eyes widened, filled with surprise and extreme nervousness. Nagayama Naoki had clearly been caught up in a burst of inspiration, immediately starting to compose a new song in his notebook!

With his index finger raised to his lips in a gesture of silence, Yoshimura Daitomo conveyed a message to everyone in the screening room with his stern eyes—"Dare to disturb Naoki-san's creative work and you will suffer a terrible fate!"

".

Joy turns into a river

Sad（かな）しみは红（にじ）をhoo（よ）ぶ（Sorrow brings a rainbow）

"

As Naoki Nagayama finished writing this, he came to his senses. The entire song was already in his mind.

This song, "Hanasaki-ku Tabiji," was written by Keisuke Kuwata, the lead singer of Southern Stars. His wife's famous song, however, will not be written for another three years!

"Ha, it's still a love song."

After finishing writing, Naoki Nagayama hesitated, holding his notebook. Was it a bit inappropriate to dedicate this love song to Otomo Yoshimura?

However, seeing his old friend's eyes shining and his expression excited, he felt that if he put his notebook away, he might not be able to leave the Tree Friends Building today!

"Ahem. Otomo-san!"

Naoki Nagayama capped his fountain pen and placed it next to his small notebook.

"I was just moved, so I wrote this song."

"However, after finishing writing it, it seems to lean more towards love songs for Otomo-san."

Before Naoki Nagayama could finish speaking, Otomo Yoshimura had already impatiently reached out and snatched the notebook. "Give it to me!"

"What love songs!"

Yoshimura Daitomo opened his notebook, his face beaming with joy, and everyone else craned their necks to look.

"Any song that Naoki-san composed live is fine."

"Hahaha, I'm going to call Shuichi-san!! I'll tell him I've added another song to my collection!!"

With that, Yoshimura Otomo stood up abruptly, grabbed his mobile phone from the side, and started dialing. He wanted to show off immediately!

Meanwhile, the others in the editing room gathered around and began to examine the songs on the notebook.

"A journey where flowers bloom?!" "Sounds pretty good!" "Let me hum it." "Get lost."

Some newcomers who had never read Naoki Nagayama's works were completely stunned by him!

"So what Hoshiga-san at the front desk said was true!" "And what the seniors said too!"

Ever since the arrival of the tree friends, the veteran employees have always praised Naoki Nagayama to the skies. They originally thought that the employees were deliberately mythologizing Naoki Nagayama!

"You guys!"

Matsuo Souo smiled and cursed,

"Now you've finally seen it!"
