Chapter 996 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 in the morning for breakfast, and there is no Tsuruko to step on the floor loudly. Even Yutaro and Nyaotaro have timed feeders to provide rations~

The quiet Yamazakura-in is a perfect place to take a nap~

After pregnancy, you will sleep more. In addition, you were very tired from yesterday's performance and stayed up a little late to go to the temple fair. Akina didn't get up, but Nagayama Naoki huddled in the warm quilt and fell asleep holding the soft Akina. Very fragrant~

Until I woke up from hunger.

"What time is it now?" Nagayama Naoki opened his eyes and took the alarm clock on the bedside, "Ah, it's already eleven o'clock!"

"Um?"

Akina also woke up,

"Is it eleven o'clock?"

"Yes. You can have breakfast and lunch together!" Nagayama Naoki smiled and got out of bed, "I'm going to turn on the air conditioner downstairs. Akina can get up later~"

January is the coldest time of the year, but families who are not short of money can live very comfortably. But what is surprising is that there is no snow in Tokyo this year, so naturally there is no familiar sound. The song "Snow Flower".

However, the re-screening of "Love Letter" has been arranged. Other snowy cities, such as Hokkaido, have started to re-screen "Love Letter" every year when it snows. It has become a tradition in some areas and schools~

After going downstairs to appease the excited dog and lazy cat, Naoki Nagayama took out the prepared cold food from the sideboard.

The custom of Neon New Year is that the kitchen will not be turned on for three days, so the food will be cold food that has been prepared in advance. However, it does not matter if you want to boil water to make coffee or make noodles. If boiling water is also considered to be a fire, then unless you Use cold water when taking a shower during the New Year~

So Ming Cai’s brunch is cereal soaked in hot milk. After all, she is pregnant with the baby, and then she can go out to eat dinner. Western culture does not have this custom, so Western food can always be eaten hot~

"What are you doing today?"

For the first time since her debut, she could make free decisions for the New Year. Akina was holding a temporary meal and didn't know what to do for a while.

“I don’t know anything else”

Nagayama Naoki watched the recording prompts on the phone keep flashing. It was obvious that many people had called in the morning to wish them a happy New Year!

"Anyway, we need to call our friends first to wish them a happy New Year."

"Ah, yes!"

Akina finally recovered the memory of celebrating the New Year when she was still at home. As soon as she put the bowl away, she quickly looked for her address book. She couldn't remember the phone numbers of so many people. Except for a few relatives and managers, other people All depends on small books

Of course, Naoki Nagayama’s number is definitely the one he remembers best!

Nagayama Naoki listened to the message first. The people who called him in the morning were Shogakukan and the companies he had worked with. They had all dealt with Nagayama Naoki's personal affairs and knew his personal phone number, but they were not too close.

Really close friends such as Yoshimura Otomo and Itou Shuichi, as well as relatives at home, all know that Naoki Nagayama went to watch the Red and White Song Contest yesterday and couldn't get up in the morning~

"Naoki-san, this is Kuniji Morikawa and Happy New Year!"

Special editor Kuniji Morikawa congratulated Naoki Nagayama in his message, and then mentioned the new book,

"The new book "Tokyo Love Story" has been reviewed by the editor-in-chief and is ready for publication. I hope to have a face-to-face talk with Naoki-san after the New Year. Naoki-san will arrange a time, and we can do it at any time."

"New book"

Nagayama Naoki scratched his head. He was not worried at all 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? Still using Sato from "Paradise Lost" last time

Or use a new pen name? Or use the protagonist’s name Wanzhi?

"Naoki-san, what are you thinking about?" Akina had already taken the address book and recorded it.

"Ah, I was wondering if I should change my pen name for the new book."

Akina didn't understand: "Isn't the previous pen name okay?"

"Well, actually, the author will become addicted after changing his pen name!" Nagayama Naoki teased his wife, "Use different identities to write different contents, and then observe the readers' fresh reactions to the European model series."

"."

Akina squinted her eyes and looked at Nagayama Naoki. Although there is no concept of Internet ID yet, hiding behind a mask to trick others is nothing new.

If you change your identity, it is indeed easy to let go of some constraints.

However, this behavior made the upright Xiao Cai very resistant:

"If Naoki-san has too many pen names, he will suffer from schizophrenia!"

"." Nagayama Naoki saw Akina's eyes and sighed, "Okay, then let's follow Akina's wishes and use Tingshu."

"Wait a minute, let me call you back."

Nagayama Naoki called Morikawa Kuniji's house phone, and sure enough, he didn't go out either. After asking for help, he made an appointment to talk in person after returning to work after the new year. This was the end of the matter for the time being.

Next, the phone was handed over to Akina, and she watched her dial the number in the phone book, and then called familiar people to say New Year greetings.

"Si Lin Sang, Happy New Year."

"Hanamisan"

".Tanaka-san."

After colleagues at work and then brothers and sisters, we started chatting for a long time, such as "How is Xiao Ai doing lately? Did Illumination watch my performance?"

Naoki Nagayama, on the other hand, began to sort out the things he would bring back to his hometown tomorrow. Among them were gifts for his father and mother, including his eldest brother Aoki, sister-in-law Kaka and Tsuruko. There were also gifts for his nephew Weeda.

Inside the toy box, there is a humanoid creature with red body, yellow eyes and horns on its head. An astronaut from the M78 Nebula. He is a hero who comes to the earth to fight against the little monsters and maintain the peace of the earth.

"Naoki-san" Akina finished the call and ran over to pick up the toy with some curiosity, "Is this an Ultraman doll? Is it for Weed?"

"Um"

"It actually has horns like a cow and is as strong as a cow?!" As a girl, naturally I don't like watching tokusatsu dramas like Ultraman.

"This is not a matter of strength, nor is it a horn. The horns on the head are actually Ultra antennas that receive information from the universe."

Nagayama Naoki looked confused when he saw Akina, and couldn't help but give her some knowledge.

"This is Super Ultraman Theo, a Fusion Ultraman that can only appear when six Ultramans are combined!!! It is the strongest Ultraman that was released just last year."

“ooo awesome, awesome”

Akina didn't know why Naoki-san actually became serious when talking about Ultraman. Is it true that men will always be teenagers? ! It's childish!

"Does the weed actually like to see this kind of thing?"

"He's already big."

Nagayama Naoki said that in this era, tokusatsu dramas can be said to be very popular from kindergarten to elementary school, and then they cross a stage and are also popular after college.

"Little boys all like Ultraman~"

"In that case, Illumination should also like it." Akina paused, "Did I buy the wrong toy?"

Nagayama Naoki asked curiously: "What did you buy?"

"Toy Electric Car."

".Alright~"

Cars, what kid doesn’t like driving, and the same goes for toy cars!

This year he prepared a car as a New Year gift for his friend!

There is no vacation in the entertainment industry.

Yesterday was the Red and White Song Festival and the Record Awards, and this morning's news started to focus on last night's hot spots.

The news that Akina Nakamori won the Japan Record Awards is undoubtedly a big hit, because this is the first time that pop music has defeated traditional enka and won the highest honor in the music industry.

Some music practitioners speculate that the neon music industry may usher 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 believe that it is only because Nakamori Akina herself is too popular that "My Love" won the award~

With Akina Nakamori getting married, the focus will be on the family side, and the big prize in the future will still fall on singing.

The two groups began to argue in newspapers and TV shows, making Akina, who had already stayed out of it, once again become the most popular artist in the New Year.

At this time, NHK TV station broadcast the program of the Kohaku Utakai in slices, including behind-the-scenes footage, etc. The meeting between Akina Nakamori and Naoki Nagayama in the lounge naturally caused another wave of enthusiasm.

“Does this couple have to throw shit at the New Year?”

"Baga, return our Akina sauce!"

"."

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 recent interviews and variety show interviews, all reveal that Akina Nakamori will retire for a period of time. In fact, it can be seen from Akina's belly.

As for Naoki Nagayama, the news that "The Legend of Hayato" will be released on January 3 is also flooding the screen.

The preview screening received a lot of praise, which made people look forward to the movie even more. They all hope to go to the cinema to watch it on the last day of vacation.

The film industry itself is also paying close attention to the film

The vice president of the Film Academy Awards Association also talked about this movie when Ishikawa Fumio paid New Year's greetings:

"The popularity of "The Legend of Hayato" has almost made it the strongest movie at the beginning of the year. There are no other movies that can make it!"

"Yes. But everyone is almost used to it," Ishikawa Fumio said, "None of Nagayama Naoki's New Year films are bad."

"Is it true that the entire film industry bows at the feet of Naoki Nagayama?!"

"Hahaha, Naoki-san is a genius." Fumio Ishikawa laughed. "Now is when he is at his peak. Naturally, no one can beat him. Whether he can keep it up is a question!"

Nagayama Naoki is young now and has unlimited creativity, but the creative peak of a genius only lasts a few years. After ten years, will the film industry always remain under one person?

"Hahaha~ It depends on you young people~"

Tanaka Yuyuki is over 70 years old, how many more years can he live? What he wants most now is that the Film Academy Awards under his management must not fail!

"Ishikawa-kun, have you settled the matter of contacting Nagayama Naoki years ago?"

"It's already been negotiated! Naoki-san will serve as the chairman of the jury! He will also be the presenter of the award." Ishikawa Fumio replied, "However, he requested that he choose the location where the film will be reviewed."

"???"

"It's okay, I heard it's in a noble courtyard in Kyoto," Fumio Ishikawa comforted, "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. There shouldn't be any problem," Ishikawa Fumio said, "and the cost"

"Money doesn't matter!" Tanaka Yuyuki said immediately, "Just do what Naoki-san said!"

"Hi"

Ishikawa Fumio originally wanted to say that there was no cost, he only had to pay for the ingredients and the housekeeping company, but since the vice president readily agreed, could he get a little more?

The Japan Film Academy Awards ceremony is usually held in early March, but the results of some awards will be announced in mid-February, so Naoki Nagayama will start work in mid-to-late January, which can be said to be very busy~

"It would have been better if "The Legend of Hayato" had been released last year. In order to avoid suspicion, Naoki Nagayama would not have allowed this movie to win the grand prize."

After hanging up the phone, Tanaka Yuyuki sighed.

It is a blessing to have an outstanding director like Naoki Nagayama in the film industry, who can produce very good films, but his existence will also suppress the development of other film directors, preventing the film industry from letting a hundred flowers bloom.

But from now on, the benefits brought by Naoki Nagayama far outweigh the disadvantages.

Fangcun Otomo bought a new villa last year, located in Seguda District, a truly wealthy area.

As the CEO of Shuyou Group who is in charge of daily operations, it is impossible to rest even during the New Year. Last night, he drank with other company presidents and directors in the entertainment industry in clubs in Shinjuku and Shibuya.

It wasn't until he lost consciousness that he was sent back to Seguda's home by the driver, under the care of Yuki Yoshimura.

After it was daylight, Fangcun Otomo woke up in a daze, but his body was still suffering from the consequences of a hangover, his stomach was queasy, and his head still hurt.

"Are you up?" Yuxue Yoshimura saw her husband staggering downstairs and quickly went to help him, "How are you? Does your head still hurt?"

"Still a little bit."

Fangcun Otomo took the warm hangover soup handed over by his wife and drank it in big gulps. He only felt sour and spicy, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his head, but his whole body came to life.

"Where is Jingxin?" Fangcun Dayou couldn't help but ask since he didn't see his eldest son.

"He went on a New Year's pilgrimage with his friends." Yoshimura Yuyuki saw that Yoshimura Otomo was awake and asked, "The child's father, can you go back to Nagano tomorrow?"

"Well, I still have to go socializing tonight."

"How come you are already the head of the headquarters and you still have to go socializing?" Yoshimura Yoshiki complained, "You are so old, why don't Shuichi-san and Naoki-san go?"

"."

Yoshimura Otomo drank the soup in silence. In fact, he didn't have to go. Nagayama Naoki never encouraged him and Itou Shuichi to have useless socializing at the bar. He didn't rely on these fair-weather friends to make money. It's just that Yoshimura Otomo liked to go there to socialize. Just a feeling

After all, his status now means he is the one being complimented and toasted at the banquet. Everyone at the banquet table is talented and well-spoken.

If you are at home and your wife dislikes you for not doing any housework, and your son dislikes you for being verbose, you still have to drive for several hours back to your hometown.

"By the way, are you calling in the morning?" Fangcun Otomo changed the subject in a low-key manner.

"Ah, I've indeed written down a lot of them." Yoshimura Yuyuki handed over the notebook. On it were all the people who called to pay New Year's greetings in the morning. The latest one was Naoki Nagayama.

"Naoki-san also called. I'll get back to him right away."

"Are you so anxious?"

"It's Naoki-san after all."

Yoshimura Yuyuki stopped talking. After all, Naoki Nagayama was a noble person in their family who had experienced a class jump within a few years. To the head of the family, he might be more important than his relatives.

"Naoki-san said you sent a New Year's gift?" Yoshimura Otomo asked, looking at the contents of the notebook.

"Hi, I said I haven't received the gift for you and Jingxin yet."

At this time, Fangcun and his wife heard the door being opened, and then Fangcun Jingxin shouted unexpectedly:

"Father, mother. There is a man at the door, driving a sports car over."

"??"

Yoshimura Otomo walked out of the door in confusion and saw his son, who had returned from a New Year's pilgrimage, looking up and down around a brand new Toyota Century at the door.

Then I saw a man in a suit walking over and asking respectfully:

"Are you Mr. Yoshimura Otomo?"

"Hi, who are you?"

"I am Hirayama Akihiro, the manager of the Toyota dealership." Hirayama Akihiro took out a document package and a letter, "This is a car that Mr. Nagayama Naoki ordered at our dealership years ago. I specially asked him to deliver it during the New Year. come over."

"?"

Yoshimura Otomo opened the envelope and saw a sentence inside,

"Otomo-san, I see you have been coveting my Toyota Century for a long time. I might as well give you one. I worked hard last year!"

"."

At the same time, someone also drove a Mercedes-Benz sports car in Itou Shuichi's house.

Itou Shuichi also looked confused when he received the letter.

"Is this guy Naoki Nagayama making too much money?!"

Of course, Naoki Nagayama has made a lot of money in other areas. The efficiency of making money in the financial market is far greater than that of starting a company! That’s why so many entrepreneurs like to go public to make money

Although Yoshimura Otomo and Itou Shuichi both directly received their share of the profits, Shuyu Group didn't actually make much money from last year's Tokyo International Film Festival. Instead, the two of them worked hard on this matter in the second half of the year, which was very hard.

On the other hand, the group has expanded to this point, and the relationship between them must be managed well.

Both of them are Naoki Nagayama's best friends. With them, Naoki Nagayama can ignore all the bad things and concentrate on making movies and enjoying life. Naoki Nagayama hopes that this relationship will continue!

So why not just give him a special New Year's gift!

Anyway, the total amount is only 50 million. Compared with the money he made this year, it's not even a drop in the bucket!
