Chapter 781 789, always swimming alone in the ocean~
The lively preview finally came to an end.
When Naoki Nagayama returned to the studio, he saw Kyon Kijima waiting for someone at the front desk.
"Kijima-kun, are you waiting for me?"
Naoki Nagayama asked curiously, looking up and down at Kyon Kimura's colorful clothes and the big gold Rolex. Why does it feel like he is doing performance art?
"No~" Kyon Kijima shook his head and posed, "I'm waiting for Momoko Kikuchi and Hideki Saijo~"
"You got in touch so soon?" They just notified me two days ago~
"Yes, Hideki Saijo is in the stage of looking for opportunities, because his domestic business has entered a period of decline, and there are reports that he is moving towards the overseas market," explained Kyon Kijima, "So when the agency heard that Shuyou wanted to invite Hideki Saijo, they actively responded to the invitation and came."
As the saying goes, poor people go abroad. If they are doing well in Japan, many idols would think about developing overseas.
Although he is still a first-line artist, Hideki Saijo is old after all. In the era when young idols born in the 60s took over the music scene, the days of these seniors seemed glorious on the surface, but inside...
It is true that the waves behind push the waves in front. The waves in front cannot move forward even if they want to!
"Haha~" Naoki Nagayama wanted to laugh, but seeing so many people at the front desk, he held back, "Then Kijima-kun, please wait a little longer~ If you have any difficulties during the meeting, come to the office to find me, I will stay here for a while~"
"Hi! Arigado!"
Kyon Kimura was very grateful. Although he was experienced, due to special reasons, he had basically no fame in the circle. Even though the screenwriter of "Love Century" was Naoki Nagayama, it was still a bit difficult to invite Hideki Saijo.
However, given Naoki-san's fame, there would probably be no problem if he came in person to endorse the TV series.
When Naoki Nagayama arrived at the office, he saw Yoshimura Otomo, who seemed to be nailed to his desk. His long-dormant complaints started to stir again:
"Otomo-san, every time I see you in a chair, I think you and your office chair are growing together!"
"."
The provoked middle-aged Mediterranean man looked sharp.
"Naoki-san, do you know the consequences of me standing up?!"
"Uh?" Naoki Nagayama felt some pressure, but was still a little confused.
"Shuyou has so much work to do and I'm standing up, but someone else is going to sit down!" Yoshimura Otomo looked at Nagayama Naoki and said, "Shuichi-san is filming a movie, so Naoki-san, who do you think among the three of us will be free to sit in this position?!"
"Ah, this." How did this happen to me?
Naoki Nagayama quickly changed his expression to a serious one: "Ahem, Otomo-san, I suddenly think that you and your desk are a good match, but the office chair is a bit old, so it may not be very comfortable to sit on.
It’s decided! I’m going to give you a set of ergonomic chairs for the New Year to protect your lumbar spine and keep you from getting tired after sitting for a long time.”
"You're talking nonsense again." Seeing his friend start to talk nonsense again, Yoshimura Otomo reluctantly let Naoyama Naoki go, focused on the documents in his hand, and asked, "Is the preview over?"
"Ah! Yes!" Naoki Nagayama relaxed in his chair, "It ended very smoothly!"
"How is it? Is there any problem?" Yoshimura Otomo lowered his head and said silently, "I mean, is there any problem between Naoki-san and the media?"
"What could possibly happen to me?! Otomo-san, please don't throw dirty water at me!" Nagayama Naoki was quite angry.
"Ha~"
"."
Never mind. I'm tired. Naoki Nagayama didn't plan to argue: "Brother Feng announced his decision to retire at the press conference."
"Retire?" Yoshimura Otomo raised his head again. "So young?"
"I want to go back and inherit the family business." Noticing that something was wrong with Yoshimura Otomo's eyes, he explained, "It's not the Yakuza, but a KTV nightclub."
"Ah, that one!"
Yoshimura Otomo naturally knew about KTV, as it was first invented by Naoki Nagayama.
"Speaking of which, Naoki-san's KTV's growth trend is quite enviable. The Economic News said that everyone is looking forward to the first KTV company to go public, saying that it is the most dynamic new business in recent years."
"Such a big cake is just given away like this. Won't Naoki-san feel sad?"
Yoshimura Otomo was really emotional. Naoki Nagayama could be said to be the founder of discotheques and KTVs. If other people had a similar idea in their lifetime, they would definitely settle down and run it, and they wouldn't have to worry about their lives.
"Why are you so sad? There are so many ways to make money, why choose something so tiring?"
Naoki Nagayama really doesn't care. For nightclubs, which are an industry that relies heavily on human services, it's OK to open one or two for fun. But running a business requires a lot of effort, hard work, and facing many problems.
Simply facing the provocation of local bullies requires a solid enough backing.
"That's what I said."
Even in Japan, which is on the rise, making a lot of money is not something that ordinary people can dream of.
"dong dong"
Just as the two were chatting, there was a knock on the office door.
Suzuki Yukika popped her head in, "Naoki Kuwajima-kun, please help!"
"Hi, I'll be there right away~" Nagayama Naoki agreed and stood up, saying to Yoshimura Otomo, "Look, Otomo-san, I'm very busy."
Is it necessary to be so dramatic?
After the door of the conference room opened, I saw a handsome guy sitting opposite me, accompanied by two agents. This was the treatment of a first-line idol.
On the other side, there was a slightly nervous Momoko Kikuchi and a helpless Kyon Kijima.
"Mr. Kijima, please forgive me for being blunt," Naoki Nagayama heard his older manager talking as he came in. "My artist heard about the reputation of Shuyou and Mr. Naoki Nagayama, so he wanted to discuss the script. But we have never heard of Mr. Kijima's fame."
"That's for a special reason!" Naoki Nagayama took over the conversation as soon as he entered the room, and nodded to the three people in front of him, "Excuse me, I'm Naoki Nagayama."
"Ah, Director Nagayama." The agent apologized quickly, "Nice to meet you. I'm Naosuke Matsuo, the agent of Saijo Hideki. Thank you for your guidance~"
Then Hideki Saijo also stood up and said, "Private Marseille, Matsuo-san's tone was a bit too much just now."
"I'm Hideki Saijo. I've heard a lot about you. Please give me your guidance~"
After everyone greeted each other, Naoki Nagayama took the seat of honor and continued the previous topic:
"Kijima-kun, take off your watch."
"Huh?" Kimura looked over in surprise. After getting confirmation, he took off his Rolex and placed it in the middle of the table.
Saijo Hideki and Matsuo Naosuke looked at each other and felt a little strange:
"Naoki-san, what are you doing? What does this have to do with our previous topic?"
"Didn't you say you didn't know how famous Kijima-kun was?" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "In fact, Kijima-kun plays a vital role in each of Shuyou's projects, but his presence is low, and his contributions are forgotten every time, which leads to the strange phenomenon that few people in the industry have heard of him."
"Haha, Naoki-san, are you kidding me?" Saijo Hideki felt it was a bit weird. An agency like Shuyou would actually make such a joke?
"What level of low presence would make people forget your contributions at work!"
"Don't you believe it?"
Naoki Nagayama smiled, then pointed to the Rolex on the table and said:
"Hideki-san, is this your Rolex?"
"? How is that possible? This is clearly what was just happening. Eh? Who put it on the table?"
Hideki Saijo subconsciously looked to the side. There was clearly a brightly dressed man sitting there. The two parties had just introduced themselves to each other. But he couldn't remember his name all of a sudden!
"His name is Kimura Kyon. Do you believe it now?"
Naoki Nagayama signaled to Kyon Kimura to put on his watch. The presence of this Rolex made all the connections in his mind go together. The guy wearing the Rolex was Kyon Kimura!
At this moment, the people on the opposite side looked at Kimura in amazement. This was no longer a low sense of presence! This was clearly a super power!!!
It's OK to go to the women's bathhouse and peek openly! (How can I be so jealous? Why?)
"It's actually true!!! This really happened!" Saijo Hideki exclaimed.
Naoki Nagayama explained it to them briefly using a story.
"Generally speaking, whale calls are 20 Hz, but in very rare cases, there will occasionally be a whale in the ocean that calls at around 50 Hz.
Such a whale will not be heard by its companions. No one hears it when it sings, and no one pays attention to it when it is sad. It will always swim alone in the ocean.
"It's very likely that Kijima-kun's magnetic field is a little different from others, which is why people can't remember him. But after spending more time with him, we become familiar with him and won't forget him~"
"."
When Kyon Kimura heard this story for the first time, he felt the same way and even had the urge to cry.
The other people were curious and confused, as they had never heard of such a story.
Among them, Momoko Kikuchi, a girl, even emotionally thought that it was Nagayama Naoki who made up this story specifically for Kyousuke Kimura. What a talented writer!
After everyone's nostalgic emotions had passed, they began to discuss the production details of "Love Century".
"I can vouch for Kijima-kun's ability as a director. In fact, Kijima-kun was the assistant director of the recent film "Kikujiro's Summer." Naoki Nagayama said to the three people opposite him very sincerely, "And as the author of this script, I will naturally keep an eye on the filming process."
"With the support of Hideki-san and the resources of Shuyou, this kind of script will definitely get good ratings~"
"On the other hand, this TV series was agreed with Fuji TV. It was completely produced by Shuyou and broadcasted at the same time. If there are any problems, they can be adjusted at any time."
Hideki Saijo was very excited by Naoki Nagayama's guarantee and the quality of the script itself!
Idols rely on their youth, especially male idols. As they age, their once handsome looks slowly disappear. As the pinnacle of male idols, they are now in a period of declining popularity.
However, at this age, he is still considered young in the entertainment industry. If he can make this transition, it may be a very good choice.
Thinking of this, Xicheng Xiushu finally made up his mind:
"Kijima-kun, Naoki-san, after talking to you two, my worries have dissipated. I have decided to join the filming of "Love Century". Please give me your guidance in the future!"
"That's great!" Kyon Kimura stood up excitedly. He is a fan of Hideki Saijo!
"Thank you for your guidance!" Naoki Nagayama also stood up and shook hands with them.
The next step is the signing process.
After everything was done, Naoki Nagayama and Kyon Kijima politely escorted Hideki Saijo out of the gate.
"Arigato, Naoki-san!" After the person left, Kyon Kimura bowed very seriously to express his gratitude.
If it wasn't for supporting him, Naoki Nagayama wouldn't have lowered his posture so much. Before, all kinds of artists were scrambling to participate in his film projects!
"It's okay, it's okay. Kimura-kun, I have high hopes for you! Don't let me down!" Nagayama Naoki patted Kimura's shoulder fearfully.
He could feel the words popping up above Kyon Kimura's head - Loyalty +1+1+1. No matter what, he shouldn't have to worry about ninja assassinations in the future!
Back in the studio, the heroine Momoko Kikuchi was also ready to leave, but since they were family, the ceremony was not so grand. She talked to the employees she knew in the company before preparing to say goodbye.
"Peach Jam." Nagayama Naoki saw it and had something to remind her.
"Naoki-san?"
Momoko Kikuchi walked in front of Naoki Nagayama. Her cheeks were still plump and chubby, and she really looked like a plump peach.
"The heroine of this "Love Century" is an urban working woman." Naoki Nagayama said, "During this period of time, you should learn about the image and style of urban women, and be more mature. It will be convenient for future filming."
"Hi!" Momoko Kikuchi nodded, "I understand!"
"Well, during this period of time, I will inform Master Ya Ming to arrange your work and prepare well!"
"Hi!"
After a lot of work in the studio, it was already evening when Naoki Nagayama came out.
“Time flies by so fast! No, it only flies by when you’re busy.”
It's winter now, and night falls faster and faster. While driving home, the light in the sky becomes much dimmer.
The originally light blue sky turned into a deep blue, as if the city was also given a layer of cold-toned filter, full of melancholy and mystery.
Passing by the border between Chiyoda and Bunkyo, Naoki Nagayama vaguely remembered that he had a house here, which was being used as a warehouse for fan letters.
Looking up at the sky, it seems not too late, Naoki Nagayama decided to go take a look~
The small apartment on the second floor has a semicircular balcony with an exotic style, which looks very cute.
After walking into the apartment building through the main door, Naoki Nagayama got the spare key from the administrator and opened the door.
A faint smell of dust and paper came out. Some messy letters were placed on the table in the living room, and more were placed in boxes in the bedroom. He came here a few times in the first half of the year and read the letters from fans.
However, the logic of "My Tomorrow Me Dates Your Yesterday" seems too complicated. Even though professional critics have given it positive reviews, it is not as popular as the previous "Love Letter" and "Love Letter".
After writing two casual replies and explaining the logic of time, Naoki Nagayama got bored and didn't stay any longer.
After walking out the door, I looked at the neighboring house next door. That used to be Kawai Naoko's apartment, but there is definitely no one there now.
After walking out of the apartment, the sky became darker.
The cold wind blowing on my face made me more alert. I raised my head and looked into the distance. A bright golden color seemed even more dazzling in the dim light.
Anyway, I'm here anyway~
Naoki Nagayama also walked over leisurely~
In the small green belt at the corner, a golden ginkgo tree stands out among the green leaves and dead branches. Looking ahead, there are more than a dozen similar ginkgo trees.
The ginkgo trees are not as green as they are in spring and summer. The leaves on the trees are either sparse or dense, some are green-yellow, some are orange-yellow, but most of them are golden yellow.
When the breeze blows, the golden leaves on the trees, like small fans, keep flapping, as if waving to others; and the leaves scattered on the sidewalk formed a beautiful carpet, as if inviting others to come and appreciate them.
This cold winter is when they are at their most gorgeous.
"No one has ever told me that this place is also very beautiful~ What a pity that I didn't bring a camera with me"
Naoki Nagayama walked on the sidewalk with a relaxed pace. There were not many people here, and it seemed that not many people knew about such a beautiful scenery.
Suddenly, there was a whirring sound of the Shinkansen. On the other side of the ginkgo tree green belt was the JR line. Walking a little further, we arrived at Ochanomizu.
"Is this the Holy Bridge?" Naoki Nagayama walked across a bridge and felt that this place was very familiar. "This is the filming location of the movie Bell Bud Journey!"
Naoki Nagayama looked down from the bridge and saw a train whizzing past under the bridge. The conical train ran parallel to the Kanda River next to it. At this time, a train also passed by the Marunouchi Line. The feeling of three lines running in parallel made Naoki Nagayama feel a little strange.
"If there is another ship on the Kanda River at this time"
Just as Naoki Nagayama was thinking this, a small boat actually drove over from the corner, and the tip of the boat cut through the water, forming two V-shaped water lines.
"Hahaha, it's really here~"
Naoki Nagayama laughed happily, causing passers-by to unconsciously move a little further away.
At this moment, the river surface with a blue filter seems to be shining and the white dam complements each other. The two trains whizzing by are like a natural dividing line, forming a perfect golden angle, like a famous painting created by nature.
"It's exactly the same as I remembered~"
In his mind, he still seemed to have the image of "The Journey of Bell Buds", and there were also many artistic photos that he had glanced at on the Internet, showing him the scenery here decades later.
It's a pity that no one else knows it.
No one knew what Naoki Nagayama was feeling at the moment, whether he was lonely or happy. Anyway, he stood on this holy bridge for a long time until the hazy moon appeared in the sky.
"It's not even dark yet, and the moon is out~"
Naoki Nagayama looked at the crescent moon appearing in the deep dark blue sky, then looked at the river surface with a faint blue glow, shook his head and prepared to go home.
He originally wanted to take advantage of this inexplicable emotional impulse to try to recall more memories, but his upgraded brain seemed to have really lost the ability to accomplish everything in one go, and he only had some fragmented images.
When we returned to Yamazakurain, it was already completely dark, and even the circle of bamboo at the door was only a blurry shadow.
After driving into the garage, Yingtaro came to welcome Naoki Naoyama warmly, but Naoki Naoyama felt unhappy:
"Hina Taro, go play by yourself first. Your master, I have something on my mind."
After saying that, he slowly walked up to the second floor and entered the study.
The emotions are there, the broken pictures come to mind, but I can't think of anything, as if something is blocking my mind. I have no interest in doing anything else.
Naoki Nagayama must try to dig out this inexplicable thing.
Trying to combine the view of the sacred bridge seen from Ochanomizu with the images flashing through his mind on the sketch paper, Naoki Nagayama thought he would naturally think of the anime movie "The Journey of Bellsame", but after drawing for a long time, he just felt very annoyed.
“What went wrong?”
Lying on the back of the chair with eyes closed, thinking, the study was completely quiet, not even Yingtaro was allowed in.
From outside the window came the sound of a few unknown insects chirping. Was it a katydid? But it was much lighter and more blurred.
In the hazy night, the rustling sound of bamboo leaves blown by the wind is like the calm lake water caressing the shore.
Gradually, a tranquil lake seemed to emerge in front of Naoki Nagayama's eyes. The moon was high in the sky, and the faint blue light was rippling on the lake.
The lazy singing seemed to come from far away, with a sad but not sad relief and endless yearning:
"
I am swaying in the blue water of the water (This night, my thoughts of you are like the new moon)
On the night when the crescent moon floats in my hand (the light reflected from the blue water droplets in my palm sways gently)
"
Naoki Nagayama opened his eyes, feeling a little surprised and relieved. The name of this song is "Water Color"~
It fits my mood very well. I don't know where the thoughts and sadness came from. Maybe I heard this song on a sleepless night before.
The lazy and slightly hoarse female voice is still echoing in my mind. This is a song that can make people immersed in it just by singing it a cappella. The lyrics are written like a poem.
Naoki Nagayama recorded the music score, and then hummed the melody while looking for musical instruments in the study, trying to recreate the song he heard. This is not a piano piece, it will sound good only when it is accompanied by other instruments.
When Akina Nakamori came back, it was almost ten o'clock~
In addition to preparing for the Japan Record Awards preliminaries, I have also been rehearsing the Red and White Festival program with other idols these days. It can be said that I am extremely busy.
After returning to Yamazakurain, she was surprised to find that only Inatarou came to greet her, and the lights on the first floor were not turned on.
"Hitarou, Naoki-san hasn't come back yet?" Akina asked after hanging up the clothes and touching the dog's head.
I saw that Yingtaro's little tail was spinning very fast, and he was about to take Nakamori Akina to the second floor~
"Did you go to the bedroom to rest? So early?" Nakamori Akina was a little surprised. Naoyama Naoki usually went to bed at 12 o'clock, very regular. "Is he sick?"
There was no one in the bedroom on the second floor, but light was coming through the crack of the study door.
After opening the door and entering, Akina Nakamori saw Naoki Nagayama holding two maracas, humming a song and shaking them up and down as if he was exercising.
"Naoki-san?" Nakamori Akina was relieved and a little amused. "What are you doing?"
"Ah, Akina is back~" Naoki Nagayama stopped, "I was matching the sounds of the instruments and it seemed that Yama Sakurain was missing some different instruments. Hmm, it seemed that there was also a music room missing."
Akina Nakamori walked to the desk and saw the sketch on the desk at first glance:
"This is?"
"This is a place I saw today, the sacred bridge of Ochanomizu. I think the composition is great, so I want to draw it~" Naoki Nagayama walked over and explained.
Then Akina saw that song again
"Water Color?"
“Yeah, a new song.”
Akina Nakamori suddenly became curious. Her boyfriend would have new inspirations from time to time and write different songs.
Following the melody on the score, Akina also hummed:
"
It's limited to this season, but it will continue to be this year.
(The four seasons repeat endlessly)
The light in my heart is the color of the water.
(My restless heart)
The sky and the sea are still the same color.
(Just like the colors of the sky and the sea that never change.)
"
Naoki Nagayama hummed the melody softly and used a maraca to beat the rhythm to accompany Akina. Akina did not use the deep and powerful voice she used when singing, but only used her usual speaking voice to hum. Akina, whose voice has not yet become smoky, unexpectedly fits the feeling of the original singer~
"I feel sad and lonely~" Akina Nakamori suddenly turned to look at her boyfriend and hugged him tightly, "Has something sad happened to Naoki-san?"
"."
Even if you usually appear relaxed and cheerful, you are alone in this completely different world, no one understands you, and you can't tell your story. Just like the whale with a cry of 52 Hz, you have been swimming alone in the ocean.
This huge feeling of loneliness still emerges in Naoki Nagayama's heart from time to time, but in the past he could always get through it by either drinking a little wine or going for a run.
"Naoki-san, if you encounter something sad, please tell me~" Akina Nakamori raised her head and looked at Naoyama Naoki, "If the sadness is divided into two, both of us will have less~"
Naoki Nagayama felt warm in his heart, as if his heart had been gently touched. This time he didn't have to go through it alone.
He gently stroked Akina's back with both hands, patting her to reassure her:
"I just saw some scenery and was inspired by it~"
"Does Mingcai know?
In the neighborhood of Ochanomizu, there is a street with few people, and ginkgo trees are on both sides. The leaves are like golden fans.
"Um"
"The water of the Kanda River will split into two lines in front of the speedboat"
"Um"
"Three Shinkansen trains whizzing by at the same time"
The two of them were hugging each other in the study, whispering to each other, and even Yingtaro was tactful enough not to disturb them.
The night is getting deeper~
This is a long chapter that could have been divided into two chapters, but after thinking about it, I decided not to post them all at once. I’ll write more tomorrow~
(End of this chapter)
