Chapter 259 258, Mingcai-Chan Looks Pretty Even without Makeup
Chapter 259 258, Mingcai-chan looks good without makeup~
People with colds cannot eat spicy hot pot, but spicy food lovers are not among them.
This time, we came to the Sichuan hot pot we had eaten before. Nakamori Mingcai, who had no appetite for several days, wanted to eat spicy food after coming to the hot pot restaurant.
"Akina-chan, is this okay?" Nagayama Naoki was a little worried because Mingcai ordered a spicy hot pot with red oil. "It seems that it is not suitable to eat spicy food if you have a cold."
I was thinking of having a hot mushroom soup pot or something like that.
"Dumb tape!" Mingcai's voice with a nasal tone sounded a little childish, but her face was very serious. She swore that "If you have a cold, you need to sweat. You need to sweat to get better quickly! Eating something spicy will definitely help with recovery!"
Looking at the "patient" with eager eyes, Naoyama Naoki finally agreed, and looked at the spicy dish Mingcai prepared without saying anything.
"Naoki-san, has the new movie you mentioned last time been filmed?" While waiting for the food, Akina curiously asked about Naoki Naoki's new movie.
"Ah, that one, it was filmed a few days ago, and now it's in the process of editing and preparing the soundtrack."
"Is filming always so fast?"
Akina used chopsticks to touch the condiment dish, occasionally dipping a little to taste the flavor, which was full of chili oil.
Naoki Naoki chose to ignore this behavior:
"Not really, maybe the movies I shoot are all low-budget? So it's much faster to shoot."
"Speaking of which, I haven't watched Naoki-san's "Hachiko: A Dog's Tale" yet~" The little girl became a little disappointed, "It feels like I'm working all the time."
As one of the few seedlings in the agency, and she also has the potential to grow into a cash cow, the agency's arrangements for her are almost accurate to the hour. Except for the necessary rest time, the rest of the time is either on the show or on the road.
"This is a must-have experience for newcomers. All the attention and resources are on the already famous characters. If newcomers don't get more exposure, how can they be seen by everyone~"
Naoki Nagayama sighed about the rules of the entertainment industry, and then stood on Akina's side: "However, no matter what, people should be given some time to relax! People are not machines!"
Hearing this, Akina laughed all of a sudden, made stiff movements, and changed her voice: "Commander, the robot Akina reports to you! Hahaha~"
Looking at the funny guy, Naoki Nagayama followed suit: "Well, at ease, the commander ordered Akina to cancel the working mode and enter the repair mode, disband!"
"Hahaha~" Both of them couldn't hold it back, but at this time the waiter brought up the ordered hot pot ingredients, which made both of them restrain a little.
"Ah, tripe."
After eating it last time, Akina had a special liking for this crispy and tender ingredient. She skillfully put it in the hot pot for a while, and then dipped it in the spicy sauce and ate it.
While still chewing the tripe, Akina had already said vaguely: "Well, I'm alive~"
It seems that the dormant appetite has been awakened!
Seeing this, Naoki Nagayama also started to put beef, mutton, vegetables and other things into the pot. How could the snacks at the dinner party fill his stomach? He was also very hungry.
The fat beef that had just been boiled exuded a thin layer of heat, and it was still with the red oil of the hot pot. It was dipped in the special sauce dish of the hot pot restaurant, and then stuffed into the mouth. The meat was tender and delicate, and the aroma of fat mixed with the spicy taste of the red oil, and paired with the heavy salty fragrance of the special sauce dish, it was like a taste feast held in the mouth, which made people who like to eat meat indulge in their addiction.
But when eating meat, you naturally have to pair it with some lettuce, potatoes, etc. to balance it out.
Naoki Nagayama scooped out the cooked beef tenderloin with a colander and handed it to Akina:
"Akina sauce, this is ready." After Akina said that, Arigato took it over, "By the way, didn't you just say you haven't seen "Hachiko: A Dog's Tale"? "
"Hey, I haven't been free~"
"Then do you want to go and see it later?" Naoki Nagayama looked at the clock in the store, "It's not even seven o'clock in the evening now, and it should be less than 10 o'clock after watching it. Nine o'clock, there is still plenty of time. "
Akina Nakamori only thought for 5 seconds, then nodded in agreement: "Okay, I've asked for leave tomorrow anyway, so it doesn't matter if I go back late!"
She laughed embarrassedly, and it seems that she is still not very familiar with asking for leave~
The hot pot with beef hot pot was unbearable for Akina, who could eat spicy food. As expected, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Her red cheeks looked much better than before, and she looked much more energetic.
On the way to the cinema, Akina was drinking milk in the car, and her mouth was a little swollen.
"Haha, with such a mouth, Akina will definitely not be able to shoot outdoor scenes~"
Naoki Nagayama looked at the person in the passenger seat with amusement. He looked much smaller than usual when he was curled up and drinking milk obediently.
I got a pair of eye rolls:
"Naoki-san, there is a skill called makeup. Even if you are in a very bad state, the makeup artist will make you look absolutely OK."
"I remember that Akina-chan is usually bare-faced?"
"No, I have to wear makeup when I'm on a show, but normally." Akina-chan was a little embarrassed when she said this, "I might be a little lazy, I just put on some protective cream."
Hearing this, Naoki Nagayama turned around and looked at Akina carefully. Sure enough, she didn't put on much makeup. Even if she did, she would have sweated so much while eating hot pot~
But Akina blushed, "Naoki-san! It's really rude to stare at a girl's face without makeup!"
"Hahaha, what's the matter, isn't Akina-chan pretty without makeup~"
After saying this, Naoki Nagayama felt that something was wrong, and Akina next to him also quieted down.
He quickly changed the topic: "Ah, so Akina-chan entered "BEST TEN" again today. Is this the second time?"
"Yeah" the answer was very light, she wouldn't be angry, would she?
Naoki Nagayama continued the awkward chat: "It seems that Akina-chan is getting closer and closer to her dream. How does it feel to be an idol?"
"This feeling, it's like a dream."
Why is it this answer again? It seems that Akina often says this when she is interviewed.
"Ah, Akina-chan, I found a problem with you!"
"Eh? What?" This question finally attracted attention.
"When you are interviewed, you always say that it's like a dream~"
"Hong Dong Ni? Do I always say that?"
"Yeah, I heard it three times~"
"That's probably said unconsciously, it's the real thought in your heart."
"I feel that way, but even if it's true, the same answer once or twice is fine, but if it's three or four times, it may make people feel that it's a cliché~"
"Oh, so what should I do?"
Just like that, we started talking about random things along the way.
After arriving at the cinema, "Hachiko: A Dog's Tale" is still a very popular movie, so it's still scheduled, but this is the last show.
Naoki Nagayama came back with two movie tickets, "Not bad, the last show."
"It's amazing, it's been out for more than three months, right?"
"Yes, this movie has a strong vitality, many people like to watch it for the second and third time."
"Huh? Why?"
"Maybe they were moved by the sincere feelings between Hachiko and the owner." Naoki Nagayama led Akina Nakamori into the screening room, "Anyway, it's a very touching movie."
Akina Nakamori was also full of expectations after hearing this. She had heard the name of this movie many times, and everyone who said it was very moved.
As the movie started, the cute Hachiko appeared and grew up with the owner. It was really beautiful.
(An hour later)
Akina was still sobbing when she walked out of the screening room, and Naoki Nagayama next to her looked helpless.
Who knew that this little girl had such rich emotions? Although it was very touching, most people would not cry so hard.
"Akina-chan, are you feeling better?" After getting in the car, Naoki Nagayama handed Akina a tissue.
"Naoki-san, how can you be so cruel!" The little girl complained with her wet eyes, "Hachiko is so cute, why did he end up like that!"
"Uh" This is adapted from a true story, but let's not continue to stimulate the little girl at this time, "Private Marseille~"
Hearing this apology, Akina Nakamori was speechless for a while, because as a screenwriter and director, such a story is indeed very qualified, and it is unreasonable for her to ask like this.
But the story is really heartbreaking! No matter what, it's all Naoki-san's fault!
A little bit of self-blame and a little bit of dissatisfaction, as well as a little weird embarrassment, intertwined with the sad mood of watching the movie just now, made Akina Nakamori not know what to say for a while, so she had to sit silently in the co-pilot seat.
Seeing Akina like this, Naoki Nagayama thought she was still a little angry, so he wanted to ease the atmosphere:
"Akina-chan, the soundtrack for the new movie is ready. It's in the car. Do you want to listen to it?"
The mixed voice of "Silent Love" has been completed, and the audition tape is in the car. Seeing that the little girl did not object, Naoki Nagayama put the tape into the car stereo, and soon, the quiet music played.
On the road at night, the sparse vehicles have long lost the noise of the peak period, and are quietly moving in the direction of home.
The sports car with the roof closed is like a sealed studio with only two people, echoing with quiet and distant music.
Naoki Nagayama looked at the road, the street lights flashing on both sides seemed to form a strip of light, and the lit windows of the building in front and the colorful signs of the shops slowly turned into a little round light, making people feel that the car seemed to be moving on a psychedelic road of light.
After listening to the song, Akina next to him naturally turned the tape to another direction, and the ethereal melody and ethereal voice sounded again, making people intoxicated.
The empty road allowed the sports car to fully demonstrate its performance. In less than 20 minutes, Akina Nakamori's apartment building in Nakano could be seen from afar.
Just at this time, the tape played to the end again.
"Akina-chan, it's almost there~"
"Ah, so soon?" Akina wanted to continue turning the tape over, but after hearing this, she retracted her hand, "It's really a very beautiful song, the vocals and music are so well matched~"
"Haha, Akina-chan, I asked you if you wanted to do the dubbing."
"Eh?" Akina turned her head, "Did you say that you wanted a voice like a female ghost?"
"That's right, Akina-chan's ghostly voice scared me~hahaha"
"Eh, did I miss such a good song just because I dressed up as a female ghost?" The little girl was even more unwilling, "Naoki-san found me!"
"Actually, Akina-chan's voice is not suitable, this is the main reason." Naoki Naoyama explained quickly, "But it has nothing to do with female ghosts."
"Hmm" Akina looked very sorry, very disappointed, and very unwilling, and sighed.
The pretentious look is comparable to a child who doesn't want to go to kindergarten.
"Okay, okay, how about I give the audition tape to Akina-chan? This way it won't count as missing out~"
Naoki Naoyama tempted her with this, "This is the only one, and there won't be any records in the future~"
The little girl was obviously a little moved, but she still looked decadent: "How can this be embarrassing, let's just forget it~"
"Take it!" He stuffed the tape into her hand, and although he still said "no, no, no" in his mouth, he smiled obviously on his face.
Seeing that the apartment building was approaching, "Akina-chan, we're almost there."
"Yeah, yeah~"
Although she didn't want to say goodbye to Naoki-san, it would be too much of a test for Akina Nakamori's sense of shame if she called Naoki-san upstairs at this time.
Suddenly, Naoki Nagayama stopped the car next to a convenience store a few hundred meters away from the apartment and said to Akina:
"Akina-chan, get off the car and wait for me for a while."
"Eh?"
Naoki Nagayama opened the car door and ran into the convenience store quickly.
After a while, he came out with two ice creams in his hand and handed one to Akina.
"I remember that when I caught a cold when I was a kid, I wanted to eat ice cream. So when I was a kid, I wanted to catch a cold very much, and then my mother bought ice cream for me."
"Hahaha, I was the same." Akina laughed.
"So if you don't eat ice cream, you'll catch a cold in vain~"
The two of them ate ice cream while slowly walking towards the apartment.
Let's go back a little bit.
After sending her idol home, Akina Nakamori's agent, Okawa Yasuji, rushed to Kenon's office and started to make phone calls to coordinate tomorrow's schedule.
Because of her hard work, Okawa Yasuji did not doubt that her idol's condition would worsen. In addition, tomorrow's activities were not urgent, so after communicating with the contact person, she smoothly adjusted it to the later stage.
After several consecutive calls and many apologies of "Red Bean Paste Private Marseille!", it was almost 8 o'clock.
Okawa Yasuji did not forget to care about Akina Nakamori's condition.
He called Akina's apartment, but no one answered until the automatic answering machine sounded "Please leave a message after the beep" in the microphone.
Okawa Yasushi thought that Akina had gone to bed early because of her worsening condition, so she left a message:
"It seems that Akina-chan has gone to bed. I called to let you know that tomorrow's schedule has been cancelled and you can rest at home all day. If Akina needs anything tomorrow, you can call me anytime and I will be on standby. Finally, take good care of yourself~"
There was no one in the empty apartment.
At this time, the "seriously ill" Akina Nakamori was watching a movie in the cinema with tears streaming down her face.
