Chapter 321 320, Damn, I Knew Something Would Happen!

Chapter 321 320, damn it. I knew something would happen!

I was thinking about having dinner in the evening, but Akina seemed to have a show to attend in the evening, so I gave up~

"So Akina-chan can't rest for a whole day even on her day off?"

Tsuruko, who was sitting in the back seat, frowned slightly, feeling very distressed, "Doesn't that mean there is no rest all year round?"

Akina looked calm: "This is work~ Idols have to find a balance in it~ People in the entertainment industry are like this~"

Tsuruko pouted: "But Ni-chan is not like this. She rests whenever she wants and travels abroad at least twice a year!"

Huh? Why are you dragging me down again?

Naoki Nagayama, who was driving in the front, looked very innocent. How could you make up a story for the person driving you?

"Hahaha, Naoki-san is different~" Akina Nakamori laughed, "Different from most people in the entertainment industry."

"Tsuruko, it's because Akina is on the rise, so she's so busy~" Nagayama Naoki joined their discussion while driving, "When Akina becomes a mature artist, her work will be much more regular."

"Mature artists. Sounds like fruit trees." Tsuruko criticized.

But this is not wrong. If you treat idols as cash cows, you can keep fertilizing them when they are not mature so that they can grow quickly. When they are mature, they will keep producing money.

At around 4pm, Naoki Nagayama and his group came to the apartment building in Nakano again. Akina led Tsuruko in front, and Naoki Nagayama followed behind with seven or eight bags.

"Akina, living here alone, aren't you scared?"

Tsuruko, who hadn't left the house yet, didn't really have any idea about living alone.

"Scared? Why would I be scared?" Anyway, the management of this apartment building was very good, and the tenants were all white-collar workers. When I just entered the door, the aunt in the security room checked me out with her eyes.

"Sometimes I feel a little lonely, but more often I feel free!"

"Huh?"

"No one will care when you go to bed, when you watch TV, and when you want to eat supper."

Akina's idea is just the normal idea of ​​a young person who has just escaped from the control of his family, but Naoki Nagayama interrupted with a bad taste: "Don't learn from Akina to eat supper whenever you want, Tsuruko, you will get fat!"

"Iron me!" A fat vegetable felt that a certain tree was blaming someone.

Naoki Nagayama tasted the bad consequences of his talkativeness and got kicked in the calf~

The elevator door opened, and the two girls in front walked out happily and opened the door, while Naoki Nagayama limped in with a gift bag.

It seems that this small room is not often visited by people, and it is full of Akina's breath.

The small room is very tidy, and various large objects are placed in different categories. The decoration in the room is also very interesting, but after all, it is a place where one person lives, and magazines and records are placed randomly on the bed and sofa.

"Private Marseille, a bit messy."

Akina was a little embarrassed, but she still emptied the sofa quickly, and then poured tea to entertain the brother and sister.

Tsuruko looked at the dried baby's breath in the corner: "Akina-chan, did you make this yourself?"

"Hey, I found it interesting, so I took the dried baby's breath back. This way, I don't have to water it or spend a lot of time taking care of it." It really suits busy artists.

Putting the tea on the coffee table, Akina hurriedly searched around the table again: "Ah, I found it~"

As she said that, she brought over a small plate of tickets, about 10 of them: "Naoki-san, Tsuruko-chan, these are my tickets for the Shizuoka concert! You can come and see it when the time comes~"

Tsuruko happily took it: "Really? The legendary ticket for a relationship? You must not miss it!"

"Hey, please be sure to support~"

Akina's eyes smiled into the moon again~

Rest is always temporary, and busyness is the daily routine.

Nagayama Tsuruko returned to her busy review routine. In the next week, Tsuruko has three exams to take, each of which is very important.

Nagayama Naoki returned to the set to continue filming "Boys Over Flowers".

"Naoki-san, I heard that your sister is going to Tokyo to study at university?" Harada Mieko asked during a break in filming.

"Huh? Why does it feel like my sister has suddenly become a hot commodity?" Nagayama Naoki was curious. Since arriving at the set today, Idou Shuichi asked once, Komori Masataka showed some concern, and Harada Mieko was the third person to ask.

Before Harada Mieko could explain the reason, Higashiyama Noriyuki from the Shonen Squad came over: "Naoki-san, I heard that your sister was admitted to the University of Tokyo?"

"."

Why does it feel more and more outrageous? Who is spreading rumors? Will the rumor eventually become that Tsuruko has finished studying at the University of Tokyo and will go out to compete for the prime minister?

Katsuyuki Katsai, who had no role today, sneezed in the staff dormitory.

It was not easy to explain to others that Tsuruko was just taking the exam and had not yet confirmed her admission, and then this small storm was calmed down.

"Shuuichi-san, no wonder there are so many rumors in the entertainment industry," Naoyama Naoki complained to Ido Shuichi while drinking bottled oolong tea.

Itou Shuichi just laughed dryly. In this little turmoil, he seemed to be the one adding fuel to the flames: "Naoki-san, you want to attend the award ceremony tomorrow, right?"

"Ah, Shuichi-san is also going to attend the Mainichi Film Awards, right?"

"Of course~" After all, the director of the best picture has his name on it. "Is Naoki-san nervous about accepting the award?"

"Well, actually, I've made all preparations, even my acceptance speech." Naoki Nagayama didn't panic at all, "I just want to thank you all the time."

"Huh?" Itouxiu felt something was wrong at first, "Naoki-san, if it's convenient, can you tell me your acceptance speech?"

"Ah, no problem!" Nagayama Naoki took out a note from his pocket and read it.

"Thank you to the Mainichi Film Awards selection committee for giving me this opportunity. Thank you to Iwanami Cinema for showing my film. Thank you to my colleagues at Shuyu Pictures for their support. Thank you to the leading actors Yuki Saito, Kojiro Shimizu, and The performances of other actors are thanks to the hard work of the behind-the-scenes staff such as Komori Masataka and Kishou Xu. I was able to win the Best Director Award. This honor not only belongs to me, but also to everyone who contributed."

Itou Xiu nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Sure enough, Naoki-san is a writer and has a very high level of ideological awareness.

"So, what about the other awards?"

"Isn't that almost the same~" Naoki Nagayama shook off the note on his hand, "Just change it at the end."

After he finished speaking, he stood up. It turned out that Harada Mieko came over: "Naoki-san, let's check the lines for the next scene~"

"Hi~"

Ido Shuichi was left a little confused.

"Naoki-san means that all his speeches are the same?

No, no, it’s impossible, hahaha, I must have heard it wrong and said I wanted to change it~haha. "

The entrance of the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan was bustling with people. High-end cars parked and drove away here. The security personnel at the entrance continued to disperse the reporters and fans gathered at the entrance.

Everyone knows that this is the annual Mainichi Film Awards ceremony, and they are looking forward to the scene where stars gather.

Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Itou arrived at the door with Yuki Saito, and there were only a few courtesy flashes.

Fortunately, there is no red carpet ceremony like the Oscars, otherwise Naoki Nagayama would feel very embarrassed.

"Shuichi-san, isn't Higuchi Kananko with you?" On the way to the auditorium, Naoki Nagayama asked the director next to him who seemed a little nervous.

"But Miss Nanzi will not participate this time due to schedule reasons." In fact, she didn't win the prize, so she didn't come.

Unlike that kind of evening party-like award ceremony, the current Mainichi Film Awards award ceremony has even the awards already determined. It just supplements the award ceremony, so it is not really grand.

He gave the invitation to the waiter and asked him to lead the two of them to their seats.

When he walked into the lobby of the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan, Nagayama Naoki found that 70% of the seats were already occupied, and the seats of Nagayama Naoki and others were actually very far in the front, around the fifth row in the middle.

"Naoki-san, are our seats actually so close to the front?"

Saito Yuki was dressed very formally today, with a white dress and a lady's hair, but her round face was obviously still childish, making people feel like a child wearing adult clothes.

"Because we are going to the stage to receive the award~" Naoki Nagayama next to him whispered, "Has Yuki-chan prepared your award speech?"

"Of course, I also asked Masako-san and Otomo-san to help me change it."

Hey, so solemn.

After taking his seat, Naoki Nagayama looked around at the artists around him. They were all well-known figures in the film industry, such as the president of the Japan Film Directors Association, the director of the TV station, the heads of large production companies such as Toei and Toho, and others. Well-known directors, etc.

There are also well-known actors in the Japanese film industry, such as Takewaki Muga, Takakura Ken, Utsui Ken, Miura Tomokazu, Atsumi Kiyoshi, etc., as well as actresses Nakano Ryoko, Kurihara Komaki, Matsuzaka Keiko, Araki Yumiko, etc.

Others may not be familiar with him, but when he saw Yuka Miura, Naoki Nagayama felt a strange emotion surge in his heart. That guy married his favorite idol!

Naoki Nagayama quickly looked away and saw that Shuichi Itou next to him was already chatting with people nearby, and Yuki Saito on the other side actually started chatting with the round-faced girl on the other side.

Eh? That seems to be Yakushimaru Hiroko?

I feel like I am alone and unsociable.

As time passed, the entire award ceremony officially began. Naoki Nagayama saw the host smilingly introducing the audience in the first row, important people, etc.,

Then the chairman of the Mainichi Film Awards committee started traditional arts: "Let me say a few words first."

These big guys who have reached a certain level, apart from other things, their speech skills are really good.

The old-fashioned huge electronic screen did not have high-definition images, and even the VCR that was projected looked like a crudely made original film, but it was already considered a very advanced technology in this era.

Naoki Nagayama watched the clips of all the films released last year scrolling on the screen. He couldn't help but be frightened by the huge workload of the editors. After editing hundreds of films, that guy was probably almost blind.

Until the host started to announce the awards, some small awards were announced first, such as Best Cinematography Award, Best Art Award, and Animation Film Award.

I saw some unknown people who were originally behind the scenes come to the front stage and receive the trophy.

Speaking of which, the Best Soundtrack Award should also be considered among the minor awards, right?

Just when Nagayama Naoki was confused, the host Kyousuke Wada on the stage loudly said the name of the next award: "The next winner of the Best Soundtrack Award is the score of "That Summer, the Sea of ​​Tranquility" "Silent love", let's invite Mr. Naoki Nagayama!"

As the applause rang out from the field, a waiter stood at the head of the row to lead the way.

Saito Yuki even shouted excitedly: "Naoki-san, it's your turn!"

"." Naoki Nagayama was a little speechless. This little girl was more excited than him.

Following the waiter, he walked up to the front desk, stood in the middle, and then waited for the host to bring the trophy to him. This kind of small award didn't even have a presenter, and it felt very lackluster.

It was the first time I stood in front of so many people, so I was a little nervous.

The host Kyousuke Wada took the trophy and handed it to Naoki Nagayama, and then asked for a few interviews as usual: "Mr. Naoki Nagayama is a well-known music writer. Could you please tell me what the song "Silent Love" is like. Was it created when I was in a mood?”

This is actually a very normal question, asking about the composer's creative process~ But Naoki Nagayama can't say it, he just figured it out after a little brainstorming, right?

"Ah. It was a very quiet night at that time. There was nothing much to do after dinner. I saw only the bare branches of the cherry blossom tree in the yard, so I composed such a song."

As soon as he finished speaking, the discussion in the audience started. Most people in the film industry have heard of Naoki Nagayama's name, but few have actually met him. Everyone said that Naoki Nagayama is a lonely person. The guy is not wrong.

After all, Wada Kyousuke is a host who has seen big scenes: "Soga, it turns out that I felt the mourning for things, so I composed this song~"

It's really thanks to you that I found such a noble statement about Wu Ai.

"So, having won the Best Soundtrack Award this time, what do you want to say, Mr. Naoki Nagayama?"

Now is the official acceptance speech. Naoki Nagayama secretly recalled his cheat sheet: "First of all, I want to thank you. Secondly, I have to thank you, then I have to thank you, and finally I have to thank you. Only then can I win the best soundtrack award. Arigado! "

After finishing a lot of words, more than two minutes had passed. Looking at the host Kyousuke Wada, it was clear that he wanted to interrupt, but couldn't find the chance.

The discussion in the audience became louder and louder. This speech, at first glance, seemed cumbersome and redundant, but in fact it was comprehensive and took care of all aspects!

Some people's eyes shone, as if they felt that they had learned new knowledge, and decided to say the same thing about their speeches in public places in the future.

After returning to his seat, Shuichi Itou next to him quickly asked: "Naoki-san, have you changed the other acceptance speeches?"

"Don't worry!" Just change the final award. What's the big deal with such a simple thing.

Kyousuke Wada continued to introduce the next awards. After a few people passed by, it was Naoki Nagayama's turn soon: "The next winner of the Japanese Movie Lover Award is "That Summer, the Sea of ​​Tranquility". Let us invite you. Director Naoki Nagayama!”

Naoki Nagayama is about to play again. Hiroko Yakushimaru next to Yuki Saito opened her eyes wide and watched in surprise as the young man next to her stepped onto the podium again.

Seeing that it was Naoki Nagayama again, Kyosuke Wada still took the trophy and skipped the interview: "Director Naoki Nagayama, this is your second time on stage. How do you feel about winning the Japan Film Lover Award this time? "

Naoki Nagayama bowed and accepted the award humbly: "Haha, thank you very much to the jury for giving me this opportunity. Here I want to thank first, second, and last, Arigado!"

With a cry of coaxing, the discussion in the audience became heated. Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the host Kyousuke Wada. This guy actually gave the exact same speech again! ! !

Itou Shuichi slapped his head with his hand, damn, he knew Naoki-san would cause trouble!

Saito Yuki next to him was stunned, why is this different from what Yoshimura Otomo and the others said? As for the speech, is there actually a template?

When Nagayama Naoki came down again, the little girl quickly asked: "Naoki-san, is your acceptance speech fixed?"

"Of course, this is the perfect speech that I racked my brains to come up with. Thank you to everyone, no harm to anyone!" Naoki Nagayama is still a little proud, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to think of three different speeches today. "And it's easy to remember. Just start from novels to novels. Perfect logic!"

Saito Yuki nodded in understanding, but suddenly heard his name being called on the stage.

"In Showa 57, many fresh faces emerged in the film industry, injecting new blood into the Japanese film industry. Among them, the winner of the Best Newcomer Award was Yuki Saito, the star of "That Summer, the Sea of ​​Tranquility". Let us Please invite Ms. Yuki Saito!”

A few months ago, she was a high school student in a small town, and today she actually arrived at the award ceremony for the largest film award in the Japanese film industry. Although Yuki Saito is a courageous girl, she was very nervous at this time, and her whole body was a little stiff.

When he followed the waiter to the front desk, he felt the spotlight shining on his face, and all the eyes in the audience were staring at him.

"Next, I would like to invite Yuki Ishida, Vice President of the Japan Film Association, to present the award to Yuki Saito."

As an experienced supporter, Wada Kyousuke clearly noticed Saito Yuki's nervousness. He quickly stood aside and quietly guided the next actions: "Miss Saito, please stand here. Next, Vice President Ishida will The chief gives you an award.”

"Hi! Arigado~" Yuki Saito bowed slightly, feeling that his back was stiff.

Vice President Ishida Yuhei is a kind old man. Seeing the little girl's nervousness, after awarding the trophy to her, he gave her a few words of gentle encouragement: "Congratulations to Miss Saito, please work harder in the future."

"Hi! Arigado~"

It seems that he can only say this sentence, but the process that needs to be followed is essential, so Wada Kyousuke started the next process.

"Ms. Saito, as a newcomer, how do you feel about receiving this award?"

Looking at the microphone in front of him, Saito Yuki's heartbeat quickened. He had memorized the acceptance speeches he had memorized last night and this morning, but he couldn't come out of his mouth. He tried twice in a row but no sound came out.

Thousands of pairs of eyes in the audience were staring at her, as if scrutinizing and waiting. It seemed that everyone was waiting for her joke. My heartbeat was getting faster and faster, it seemed like drums were ringing in my ears, and the sounds of the entire venue seemed to have faded away.

The host was the only one on the stage, but instead of helping him, he looked towards the audience. What was there under the stage?

Saito Yuki's eyes followed his gaze, and he immediately saw the seats where Itou Shuichi and Nagayama Naoki were sitting. Nagayama Naoki's gentle smiling face appeared in front of Saito Yuki's mouth. It seems to be saying "Just do it!"

I don’t know why, but Naoki Nagayama’s acceptance speech, which he had only spoken twice before, suddenly appeared in his mind, and it was actually clearer than the speech he had memorized before.

"Ah."

Five seconds passed. I saw that the little girl had not spoken. I knew that she might have stage fright. When Kyousuke Wada was about to say something as a reminder, he heard Saito Yuki start to speak!

"Ah, I can win the Best Newcomer Award today.

First of all, I would like to thank the Mainichi Film Awards for giving me this rare opportunity.

Secondly, thank you

Then I would like to thank

Finally, thank you.”

"Thank you!"

Saito Yuki used the last Arigado to give the host Kyousuke Wada a fatal blow!

At this time, his heart was broken. You Shuyou Filming had planned it in advance, right?

We’re here to cause trouble today, right? ! !

The audience in the audience no longer had a discussion at this time, but began to laugh loudly.

Itou Shuichi pulled out a bunch of hair and looked at Naoki Nagayama next to him:

"Naoki-san, what on earth did you do?!"

Naoki Nagayama doesn’t know either, he is also confused now!

"Yuki-chan, didn't you prepare your acceptance speech???"
