Chapter 996 Chapter 1005, Which young man doesn't like driving? !
On the first day of Showa 61, I naturally slept until I woke up naturally!
Now we are not in our hometown, there is no mother to wake you up for breakfast, no crane to stomp the floor. Even Yingtaro and Miaotaro have timed feeders to supply them with food~
The quiet Yamazakura Garden is a great place to take a nap.
After pregnancy, you will sleep more. In addition, she was very tired from the performance yesterday and stayed up late to visit the temple fair. Akina did not get up. Naoki Nagayama curled up in the warm quilt, hugged the soft Akina and slept soundly~
Until I woke up from hunger.
"What time is it now?" Naoki Nagayama opened his eyes and grabbed the alarm clock on the bedside table. "Ah, it's almost eleven o'clock!"
"Ok?"
Mingcai also woke up.
"Is it eleven o'clock?"
"Yes. We can eat breakfast and lunch together!" Naoki Nagayama smiled and got out of bed. "I'll go turn on the air conditioner downstairs. Akina, you can get up later~"
January is the coldest time of the year, but families with money can live comfortably. However, surprisingly, it did not snow in Tokyo this year, so naturally we did not hear the familiar song "Snow Flower".
However, the re-screening of "Love Letter" has been arranged. Other cities where it snows, such as Hokkaido, have already started to re-screen the film. Watching "Love Letter" during the first snow every year has become a tradition in some areas and schools.
After going downstairs to calm the excited dog and lazy cat, Naoki Nagayama took out the prepared cold food from the cabinet.
The custom in Japan is that the kitchen will not be open for three days during the New Year, so all you eat are cold foods prepared in advance. However, it is okay if you want to boil water to make coffee or instant noodles. If you also consider boiling water as opening a fire, then you will have to use cold water to take a shower during the New Year.
So Akina's brunch is oatmeal with hot milk, after all, she is pregnant, and then she can go out for dinner. Western culture does not have this custom, so Western food can always be eaten hot~
"What are you doing today?"
It was the first time since her debut that she had the freedom to make decisions during the New Year. Akina held the food she had temporarily filled her stomach with and didn't know what to do for a moment.
“I don’t know about the others.”
Naoki Nagayama looked at the recording prompt on the phone which kept flashing. It was obvious that many people had called in this morning to wish him a happy new year!
"Anyway, we have to call our friends to wish them a happy new year."
"Ah, yes!"
Mingcai finally found her memories of celebrating the New Year at home. She put down her bowl and quickly looked for her address book. She couldn't remember so many people's phone numbers. Except for a few relatives and her agent, she had to rely on a small notebook to remember everyone else's phone numbers.
Of course, Naoki Nagayama's number is definitely the one I remember the most!
Naoki Nagayama listened to the message first. The people who called in the morning were Shogakukan and companies he had cooperated with. They had all handled Naoki Nagayama's private affairs and knew his private phone number, but they were not too close to him.
Really close friends like Yoshimura Otomo, Idou Shuichi, and family members all knew that Naoki Nagayama went to watch the Red and White Songs Festival yesterday and couldn't get up in the morning~
"Naoki-san, this is Kuniharu Morikawa. Happy New Year!"
Exclusive editor Kuniji Morikawa congratulated Naoki Nagayama in his message, and then mentioned the new book.
"The new book "Tokyo Love Story" has passed the editor-in-chief's review and is ready for publication. I hope to have a face-to-face talk with Naoki-san after the New Year. Naoki-san will decide the time, so I can be there anytime."
"A new book!"
Naoki Nagayama scratched his head. He was not worried about whether the new book could be published, but he was a little hesitant about the choice of pen name. Should he continue to use Tingshu or use Sato from the last "Paradise Lost"?
Or should I use a new pen name? Or should I use the protagonist's name, Kanji?
"Naoki-san, what are you thinking about?" Akina had already taken the address book.
"Ah, I'm wondering if I should change my pen name for my new book."
Mingcai was a little confused: "Isn't the previous pen name okay?"
"Well, actually, authors become addicted after changing their pen names!" Naoki Nagayama teased his wife, "Use different identities to write different content, and then observe the readers' fresh reactions. European Model Series"
"."
Akina narrowed her eyes and looked at Naoki Nagayama. Although there was no concept of Internet IDs at the moment, it was not new to play tricks on others under a mask.
If you change your identity, it is indeed easy to let go of some constraints.
However, this behavior makes the straightforward Xiaocai very resistant:
"Naoki-san will become schizophrenic if he has too many pen names!"
"." Naoki Nagayama saw Akina's eyes and sighed, "Okay, then let's follow Akina's wishes and use Teiju."
"Wait a minute, let me call you back."
Naoki Nagayama called Kuniharu Morikawa's home, and sure enough, he wasn't out either. After asking about his well-being, they agreed to make an appointment to talk in person after work after the New Year, which temporarily ended the matter.
Then I gave the phone to Akina and watched her dial a number from the phone book and then call someone she knew to wish her a happy new year.
"Happy New Year, Silin-san."
"Hana-mi-san"
".Tanaka-san."
After work colleagues, brothers and sisters chatted for a long time, such as "How is Xiao Ai doing recently? Has the lighting watched my performance?"
Naoki Nagayama started to pack the things he would take back home tomorrow, including gifts for his father and mother, his elder brother Aoki, his sister-in-law Xiangjia and Tsuruko, and a gift for his little nephew Yecao.
Inside the toy box is a red humanoid with yellow eyes and horns on its head. It is an alien from the M78 nebula. It is a hero who came to Earth to fight against monsters and maintain peace on Earth.
"Naoki-san," Akina finished her call and ran over to pick up the toy with some curiosity. "Is this an Ultraman doll? For Yakusa?"
"Um"
"It has horns like a bull. Does it have the same strength as a bull?!" As a girl, I naturally don't like watching special effects dramas like Ultraman.
"It's not a question of strength, nor are these horns. The horns on the head are actually Ultraman antennas that receive information from the universe."
Naoki Nagayama saw that Akina looked confused and couldn't help but give her some scientific advice.
"This is Super Theo Ultraman, a combined Ultraman created by the fusion of six Ultramen!!! He is the strongest Ultraman that was released last year."
"oooo awesome!"
I don't know why Naoki-san gets serious when talking about Ultraman. Are men always boys?! It's childish!
"Does the weeds actually like to watch this?"
“He’s already big.”
Naoki Nagayama said that in this era, special effects dramas were very popular from kindergarten to elementary school, and then crossed a stage and became popular after college.
"Little boys all like Ultraman~"
"If that's the case, Zhaoming should like it too." Akina paused, "Did I buy the wrong toy?"
Naoki Nagayama asked curiously, "What did you buy?"
“Toy electric car.”
".That's fine~"
As for cars, which boy doesn’t like driving, and the same goes for toy cars!
This year he prepared a car as a New Year's gift for his friend!
The entertainment industry doesn’t take holidays.
Yesterday was the Red and White Songs Contest and the Record Awards, and this morning's news began reporting on last night's hot topics.
The news that Akina Nakamori won the Japan Record Prize was undoubtedly a big hit, because this was the first time that pop music defeated traditional enka and won the highest honor in the music industry.
Some music practitioners have speculated that Japan's music industry may be ushering in a new trend, and new music such as pop music will replace traditional music and become the mainstream.
However, this view is only held by a small number of people. More people think that it is only because Akina Nakamori is so popular that "My Love" won the award~
With Akina Nakamori getting married, her focus will be on her family, and future major awards will still go to enka.
The two factions started arguing in newspapers and on TV programs, making Akina, who had been out of the dispute, once again the most popular artist in the New Year.
At this time, NHK TV station broadcast slices of the Red and White Songs Festival program, including behind-the-scenes footage, etc. The encounter between Akina Nakamori and Naoki Nagayama in the lounge naturally caused another wave of popularity.
"Does this couple have to show off their affection during the New Year?"
"Baga, give us our Akina sauce back!"
"."
Fans have basically accepted the marriage of Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori, but acceptance does not mean that they are willing to always see their goddess fall into the arms of other men!
Especially in recent interviews and variety shows, it is revealed that Akina Nakamori will retire for a while. In fact, it can be seen from Akina's belly.
Naoki Nagayama's "Hayato" will be released on January 1rd.
The preview received a lot of praise, which made people look forward to the film even more. They all hoped to go to the cinema to watch it on the last day of the holiday.
The film industry itself is also paying close attention to this film
The vice president of the Academy Awards Association also talked about this movie when Ishikawa Fumio was paying New Year's greetings:
"The popularity of Hayabusa has almost secured its title as the strongest film of the year. No other film studio has any film that can compete with it!"
"Yes. But everyone is almost used to it." Ishikawa Fumio said, "There is nothing bad about Naoki Nagayama's New Year's films."
"Really? Has the entire film industry bowed down to Naoki Nagayama?!"
"Hahaha, Naoki-san is a genius," Ishikawa Fumio laughed. "He is at his peak right now, so naturally no one can defeat him. The question is whether he can keep it up!"
Naoki Nagayama is young and creative now, but the creative peak of a genius only lasts a few years. Will he remain second to none in the film industry ten years from now?
"Hahaha~ This depends on you young people~"
Tomoyuki Tanaka is already over seventy years old, and he doesn’t know how many years he can live. What he wants most now is that the Academy Awards under his management will not fail!
"Ishikawa-kun, have you agreed to contact Nagayama Naoki before the New Year?"
"It's already been agreed! Naoki-san will be the chairman of the jury. He will also be the guest presenter of the awards." Ishikawa Fumio replied, "But he asked that he choose the location for the film review."
"???"
"It's okay. I heard it's in a noble courtyard in Kyoto," Ishikawa Fumio comforted him. "Naoki-san said he doesn't like staying in hotels."
"But can ten judges live in one courtyard?"
"I heard it's a big garden. It shouldn't be a problem," Ishikawa Fumio said, "and the cost..."
"Money doesn't matter!" Tanaka Tomoyuki said immediately, "Just do as Naoki-san said!"
"Hi"
Ishikawa Fumio originally wanted to say that he didn't need to pay any fees, and only needed to pay for the food and housekeeping company, but since the vice president readily agreed, could he take a little more?
The Japan Academy Awards ceremony is usually held in early March, but some awards are announced in mid-February, so Naoki Nagayama has to start working in mid-to-late January, which can be said to be very busy.
"If only Hayato had been released last year, then Naoki Nagayama would not have been able to let this movie win the award to avoid suspicion."
After hanging up the phone, Tanaka Tomoyuki sighed.
It is a blessing for the film industry to have an outstanding director like Naoki Nagayama, who can produce excellent films. However, his presence will also suppress the development of other film directors, preventing the film industry from flourishing.
However, from now on, the benefits brought by Naoki Nagayama far outweigh the disadvantages.
Last year, Fangcun Otomo bought a new villa located in Seyada district, a truly wealthy area.
As the CEO who is in charge of the daily operations of the Shuyou Group, it is impossible for him to rest even on New Year's Day. Last night he was drinking with other company presidents and managers in the entertainment industry in clubs in Shinjuku and Shibuya.
Only after he lost consciousness was he taken back to Seyada's home by the driver, where he was taken care of by Yoshimura Yuyuki.
When the sky was bright, Yoshimura Otomo woke up groggily, but his body was still suffering from the hangover, his stomach was nauseous, and his head was still hurting.
"Are you up?" Seeing her husband staggering down the stairs, Yoshimura Yuxue hurried to help him up. "How's your condition? Does your head still hurt?"
“Still a little.”
Fangcun Dayou took the warm hangover soup handed to him by his wife and drank it in big gulps. He felt sour and spicy, and a layer of fine sweat broke out on his head, but he felt alive again.
"Where is Jingxin?" Fangcun Dayou couldn't help but ask when he didn't see his eldest son.
"He went on a New Year's pilgrimage with his friends." Seeing that Yoshimura Otomo was awake, Yoshimura Yuxue asked, "Dad, can you go back to Nagano tomorrow?"
"Well, I still have to go socialize tonight."
".How come you still have to attend social events even though you are the director of the company." Yoshimura Yuyuki complained, "You are so old, why don't Shuichi-san and Naoki-san go?"
"."
Yoshimura Otomo drank the soup silently. Actually, he didn't have to go. Nagayama Naoki never encouraged him to have useless drinking parties with Idou Shuichi. He didn't make money by these drinking buddies. It was just that Yoshimura Otomo liked the feeling of going to social events.
After all, with his current status, he is always flattered and toasted at drinking parties. Everyone at the table is talented and speaks well.
If I stay at home, my wife will complain about me not doing any housework, and my son will complain about me being nagging and driving for several hours back home.
"By the way, did you receive a call this morning?" Yoshimura Otomo changed the subject in a low-key manner.
"Ah, there are indeed many that I have written down." Yoshimura Yuyuki handed over the notebook, which contained all the people who called to wish him a happy new year in the morning, the most recent one being Naoki Nagayama.
"Naoki-san called too. I'll call him back right away."
"Are you so anxious?"
"After all, he is Naoki-san."
Yoshimura Yuyuki didn't say anything either. After all, Nagayama Naoki was the benefactor who helped their family advance in class within a few years. To the head of the family, he might be more important than all his relatives.
"Naoki-san said he sent a New Year's gift?" Yoshimura Otomo asked, looking at the contents of the notebook.
"Hey, I heard that the gifts for you and Jingxin haven't been received yet."
At this moment, the Yoshimura couple heard the door open, and then Yoshimura Keishin shouted in surprise:
"Father, mother. There is a man at the door, driving a sports car."
"??"
Yoshimura Otomo walked out of the door in confusion and saw his son, who had just returned from the New Year's pilgrimage, standing at the door, looking up and down at a brand new Toyota Century.
Then I saw a man in a suit coming over and asking respectfully:
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Yoshimura Otomo?"
"Hi, who are you?"
"I'm Akihiro Hirayama, the manager of Toyota." Hirayama took out a briefcase and a letter. "This is a car that Naoki Nagayama ordered from our dealership a few years ago. He specifically asked us to deliver it during the New Year."
"?"
When Yoshimura Otomo opened the envelope, he saw a sentence inside:
"Otomo-san, I've noticed that you've been coveting my Toyota Century for a long time. I might as well give you one. You've worked hard last year!"
"."
At the same time, someone in Idou Shuichi's home also drove a Mercedes-Benz sports car.
Idou Shuichi was also confused when he received the letter.
".Is it possible that this guy Naoki Nagayama makes too much money?!"
Of course, Naoki Nagayama has made a lot of money in other ways. The efficiency of making money in the financial market is far greater than starting a company! That's why so many entrepreneurs like to go public to make money.
Although Yoshimura Otomo and Idou Shuichi both received direct commissions, the Shuyou Group did not actually make much money from last year's Tokyo International Film Festival. Instead, the two of them were busy with this event for the second half of the year and were very tired.
On the other hand, the group has expanded to this extent, and the relationship between them must be managed well.
Both of them are close friends of Naoki Nagayama. With them around, Naoki Nagayama can ignore all the troubles and concentrate on making movies and enjoying life. Naoki Nagayama hopes that this relationship will continue forever!
So why not give a special New Year gift!
Anyway, it only adds up to 50 million. Compared with the money he earned this year, it's not even a drop in the bucket!
