Chapter 552 550, a Synonym for Young and Promising, Romantic and Unrestrained

Chapter 552 550, young and promising, synonymous with being romantic~

The first day of official start of work~

Naoki Nagayama didn't want to attend the New Year's party at the studio. As I said before, I don’t want to go on stage to say anything inspiring, and naturally I don’t want to listen to “a few words” that last an hour.

So today I decided to wait at home for a visit from someone from Shogakukan.

In the morning, Nagayama Naoki slept easily until he woke up naturally, and then took Yotaro for a walk~

On the first day of work, pedestrians on the road had expressions of reluctance to go to work, and reluctantly moved towards their companies. If there were photographers waiting to take pictures at this time, they would definitely be able to capture something. It's called the indifferent Tokyoites.

Yantaro had no such idea. He was running around happily. If it were not for the restriction of the dog leash, he would have been rolling around in the grass of the small park by now.

After a snowfall two years ago, the small park near Yamazakura Garden became even more decadent. The deciduous trees had no leaves left, leaving only bare trunks and branches, giving it a post-modern look.

Those evergreen shrubs are covered with a layer of dark color, making the green leaves representing vitality look restrained and gloomy.

Because the walking route was already very familiar, Nagayama Naoki allowed Yotaro to pull him forward, and even looked around leisurely.

Yotaro dragged Nagayama Naoki to the door of Qingshan Store. As if he knew that his master was going to stay here, the dog squeezed open the store door with his head and walked directly in.

"Naoki boy?" Nobu Aoyama was still sorting out the goods, but he was very happy after seeing Nagayama Naoki arriving, "So early?"

"Mr. Aoyama, didn't you come here early to open the store?" Nagayama Naoki joked, "Why don't you stay at home in Osaka for a while? It's very cold in Tokyo in this weather."

"It's no fun to stay in the countryside all the time." Aoyama Nobu made a cup of hot tea and handed it to Nagayama Naoki, "Tokyo is more lively."

"Haha, yes~"

"Naoki, your movie seems to be very popular." Aoyama Nobu and Nagayama Naoki were sitting at the cafe in the store chatting. Although they have never watched either movie, Aoyama Nobu has always received information about the movie during this time.

"Fortunately, everyone still likes to watch." Nagayama Naoki smiled without being complacent.

"That's amazing~"

"By the way, Mr. Aoyama, Chikoko-chan's first album will be released tomorrow, did you know?" Nagayama Naoki thought of Chikoko Aoyama.

"Well, I know something about it," Mr. Qingshan said. "Chikezi didn't even take a break during the Chinese New Year. She was promoting this album everywhere! It's really hard."

"Yes, I was so busy in the first year of my debut." Nagayama Naoki comforted him for a while, "As long as the fan base improves, it will gradually become regular after that."

"How about Chikoko's fan base?" Aoyama Nobu's eyes were filled with concern for his granddaughter.

"Haha, Chikoko-chan is very talented." Although her singing skills can only be said to be average, to be an idol, other conditions are more important.

The pure and sexy Chiko Aoyama is now the goddess in the hearts of young boys.

"Anyway, after the first album, I should have a little more time." Nagayama Naoki said, "I can come and see you on my days off~"

"I hope so~"

After chatting in Aoyama's shop for more than half an hour, Yotaro was a little hungry, and Naoki Nagayama set off back to Sansakura-in.

When passing by that familiar newsstand, I was surprised to find that there was also a poster of "Love Letter" on the outer wall of the newsstand. Dentsu people are really everywhere!

"Naoki-san, good morning~" the boss Kenta Yokota greeted happily after seeing it.

"Yokota-san, you've already started work. Are you celebrating the New Year in Tokyo this year?" Nagayama Naoki stopped to chat.

"Hi." Most of the people who run small businesses like newsstands in Tokyo are locals. "I even went to see the New Year's Eve fireworks this year."

"Haha, that's really good." Naoki Nagayama laughed, then pointed to the poster on the outer wall, "When was this posted?"

"I posted it early in the morning." Kenta Yokota looked at Nagayama Naoki and said, "Naoki-san is so awesome. The latest box office of such a movie seems to have exceeded 1 billion!"

"oh?"

Nagayama Naoki was surprised, he hadn't seen the newspaper yet. However, the box office exceeded 1 billion in a little more than a week, which is considered a very good result in this era.

Seeing that Naoki Nagayama still didn't know, Kenta Yokota immediately picked up a copy of the Yomiuri Shimbun: "It's been reported in the newspaper!"

Seeing the sincere look of the newsstand owner, Naoki Nagayama subconsciously paid for a newspaper. Speaking of which, it seemed that every time he chatted with Kenta Yokota, he would unconsciously buy a newspaper. Is this the boss's super power?

"Naoki-san has something else to do." Before leaving, Kenta Yokota said again.

"?What's up?"

"Well, my son is a fan of Akina-chan."

Nagayama Naoki remembered Yokota Kenta's son. When he was having an affair with Nakamori Akina, he seemed to be clamoring for sending blades or something like that.

".What's the matter?"

"Although I am very reluctant, since I learned that Naoki-san occasionally passes by here" Yokota Kenta felt a little ashamed: "He must have asked me to convey that Akina-chan will be guarded by him!"

"."

It turns out to be a chuunibyou~

After returning to Yama-Osakura-in, Naoki Nagayama ate breakfast while reading the morning newspaper.

Various prayer and sacrificial activities for the new year, the development vision of large companies, and the various hot news in the entertainment industry that can never be missed.

"Hey, this report is interesting, "Akina Nakamori: Should I buy 'North Wing' or 'Snow Flower'?"

Naoki Nagayama saw one of the reports and found it very interesting. The author of the article described the different styles of the two songs and Akina Nakamori's interpretation of them, allowing readers to buy according to their own preferences.

"Can't I buy both products?" Naoki Nagayama complained.

After breakfast, seeing that it was still early, Naoki Nagayama went to the study and sorted out the two parts of "A Chinese Odyssey" that he had recently recalled, and then put them in another drawer.

There is already the novel "Passing by Your World" and the script of the movie, as well as the movie "Days of Being Wild", and this "A Chinese Odyssey". These are all movies that are not suitable for filming in Japan, nor are they suitable for novels published in Tokyo.

"But this theme song "Love of a Lifetime"." Naoki Nagayama looked at the song and felt a little embarrassed. "This song. Sure enough, the Cantonese version sounds deeper."

After thinking for a long time, he put the song in an unsuitable drawer: "Wait until the right time, and then play it~"

However, after sorting it out, Naoki Nagayama felt that he seemed to remember the lyrics of "Love and hate arise in the sea of ​​suffering", and he started playing on the piano with nostalgia in his heart.

The low and melodious piano sound came out from the window on the second floor, and Yingtaro and Miaotaro who were playing in the courtyard raised their heads, and seemed to be infected.

The moving melody lingered in the Yamazakura Courtyard. When it was about to reach the outside, it seemed to startle the bamboos surrounding the courtyard wall. The dense bamboo leaves swayed slightly, and most of the music disappeared.

People outside could only hear the faint piano melody~

Shogakukan's senior editor Morikawa Kuniharu came to the door of Yamazakura Courtyard with a baby-faced young editorial assistant.

The new editorial assistant Yuya Furuya was holding some gifts in his hand and looked at Yama-Okuin with some surprise:

"Is it here? Mr. Naoki Nagayama's residence is so close to Shogakukan?"

"Yes~" Morikawa Kuniji looked at the small western-style building surrounded by green bamboo and sighed, "It is rare to find such a secluded residence in Chiyoda."

Just as they were about to ring the doorbell, they both heard the sound of piano coming from the second floor, and the curiosity on Yuya Furuya's face became more intense:

"Is this... Mr. Naoki playing the piano? This melody seems to be something I have never heard of before. It sounds so good."

"Yes, Naoki-san is a well-known musician." Morikawa Kuniji reminded his assistant, "Yuya-kun, talk less and smile more after entering, don't always look like you have never seen the world."

"Hey! I understand!" Yuya Furuya immediately tried to put on a straight face, but his childish face did not have any momentum at all.

As Morikawa Kuniji pressed the button, a crisp doorbell sounded from the big iron gate:

"Dingling~"

The piano sound on the second floor stopped, and then a "woof woof" sound was heard from the courtyard, and a big white dog ran to the door.

When Yingtaro saw that they were two unfamiliar faces, he did not take the initiative to open the door, but watched the visitors vigilantly on the path between the door and the house.

"This is... Yingtaro!" Morikawa Kuniji called, "Yingtaro, don't you remember me? I am Morikawa Kuniji!"

When Yingtaro heard his name, his tail just shook slightly, but he still did not open the door.

In his little head, there are only three people who can make him take the initiative to open the door, his owner Naoki Nagayama, the little witch Nagayama Tsuruko, and the new hostess Akina Nakamori!

"Ah, it's Kuniji-san!" Naoki Nagayama opened the door and walked out, then opened the big iron gate for the guests outside, "You are here!"

"Naoki-san, long time no see!" Morikawa Kuniji greeted enthusiastically, and then introduced, "The next one is the new editorial assistant Furuya Yuya of Shogakukan."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Furuya Yuya" Furuya Yuya bowed respectfully and greeted him. He knew Naoki Nagayama in front of him before he came!

A young best-selling author, winner of the Naoki Prize, and a well-known director, screenwriter, and musician, more importantly, Naoki is young, rich, talented, and handsome, and is the playboy Naoki who is constantly involved in scandals!

He is simply the synonym of "young and promising, romantic and unrestrained" in the literary circle, and is the object of envy, jealousy and hatred of young people!

"Nice to meet you, I'm Naoki Nagayama"

After a little greeting, Naoki Nagayama welcomed the two into the living room and served them hot tea.

"Naoki-san, it's the new year, do you have plans to publish a new book?" As a senior editor, the first thing Morikawa Kuniji said after seeing the author was to urge for more!

"Haha, Kuniji-san is too anxious~" Naoki Nagayama smiled, "But the new book only has some ideas, it's not finished yet~"

Kuniji Morikawa also smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, take your time~"

The author in front of him published at least one best-selling novel a year without the need for editorial revisions and adjustments. It's already amazing!

"What kind of ideas do you have? Can you tell me? I'm also curious." Naoki Nagayama choked a little. When it comes to writing novels, it mainly depends on his memories.

"This... is probably about love." After all, in the future, I will read more Japanese love movies and youth novels, "novel about encounters and separations."

"Is it another love tragedy?" Kuniji Morikawa nodded. Through the first two books, he knew that Naoki Nagayama liked to write about youth love.

"Yes. But it will add some fantasy feeling" Naoki Nagayama responded vaguely.

In order not to talk about the new novel, I changed the subject a little: "This Furuya-kun is the new member of Shogakukan this year? He is very young~"

"Ah, hi!" Furuya Yuya didn't expect the topic to suddenly turn to him, "I already joined the editorial assistant position last year, but I haven't graduated yet."

"That's it~"

Kuniji Morikawa nodded: "Yuya-kun's employment process can be said to be the other way around~ Others find jobs after graduating from college, and then he joins the job before he graduates~"

"why is that?"

"Haha, because he is a shareholder!"

"." Furuya Yuya was a little shy, "Kuniji-san, stop joking, it's just that the elders are afraid that I will be bored during the holidays."

In fact, Furuya Yuya is the heir to a major shareholder of Shogakukan, so he came to contact the industry in advance.

Nagayama Naoki also understood that the baby-faced guy in front of him was the second generation with a silver spoon in his mouth! No wonder he looks harmless to humans and animals and has always been well protected~

"Hahaha, the process of going the opposite direction with others is actually an interesting experience~"

After joking for a while, Kuniji Morikawa finally talked about the official purpose of coming today. He took out a document and handed it to Naoki Nagayama:

"Naoki-san, this is a plan for holding a book signing in Keio. It was drawn up based on our communication years ago. Please check if there are any problems."

After Naoki Nagayama took it, he slowly turned it over, and Kuniji Morikawa motioned to Yuya Furuya to introduce it.

"Teacher Naoki, the autograph signing will be initially scheduled for January 15th. After the new semester report, it will be the first event of the new semester." Yuya Furuya introduced slowly from the side while Naoki Nagayama was watching.

"The venue is the auditorium of the Department of Literature. We will let the student union publicize it in advance and invite students to participate."

“The main processes are as follows: 1. Introduction 2. Interviews, guest discussions 3. Student interaction 4. Book signing.”

Naoki Nagayama saw that the outline of the interview had been listed in the planning book, and he felt half relieved. He could prepare in advance and not be afraid. During the interaction, those group of college students should be enough to fool around~

After Yuya Furuya finished his introduction, Naoki Nagayama asked some questions that he was concerned about, such as how many guests were invited, who they were, how long the interaction lasted, whether there would be media reports, etc.

After Furuya Yuya answered in detail, Nagayama Naoki asked: "Furuya-kun, why do you feel so familiar with Keio University?"

"Ah, I am a student of Keio University's Faculty of Letters!" Yuya Furuya laughed, "I am also a cadre of the student union."

So that’s it, it turns out that this is the reason why Morikawa Kuniji brought him here!

By the end, the plan for the autograph session was almost complete. Kuniji Morikawa asked: "Naoki-san, if there are no other questions about the autograph session, should we start preparing according to this plan?"

"Well, I have no objection."

Nagayama Naoki has decided to hold this autograph session at Keio University in mid-January.
