Chapter 858 866, Don’t Smile at Other Girls, It Will Cause Trouble!
When you walk out of the airport gate, you will see the clear blue sky, and the clouds in the sky also look so clean.
As the taxi started, Naoki Nagayama saw the distinctive European-style buildings. The small houses were clustered together in the old port area. These buildings have withstood the sea breeze for many years, as if they were wrapped in a layer of salt.
Facing the endless waves every day, the smell of spices and coffee drifted out.
A little further ahead, it was the hotel where Naoki Nagayama was going to stay today-Barrière-Majestic Hotel, which was only two minutes away from the Cannes Film Festival Palace.
"Finally here!"
Tanaka Yuko looked at the white marble building in front of her and couldn't help sighing. Even in the first class cabin, a flight of more than 20 hours is very tiring.
"Yes, we're here!"
Naoki Nagayama was quite refreshed. His young body really could withstand the tossing. He could sleep well even on the plane, and now he was even more energetic.
On the other side, Shuichi Itou was different. The middle-aged man with a tired face said:
"Let's check in quickly and have a good sleep!"
Naoki Nagayama looked at the sun in the sky and was a little bit unbelievable:
"Shuichi-san, it's only a little after ten o'clock and you're going to sleep. Do you plan to sleep all day? Don't you want to see the beautiful scenery of Cannes? There are also exotic cultures and delicious food."
"Isn't it just a small coastal town!" Shuichi Itou walked towards the hotel lobby without looking back, saying as he walked, "Seawater, seafood, foreigners, isn't Tokyo's Minato District like this? What's so good about it!"
"Anyway, I'm exhausted. I must have a good rest today!"
Naoki Nagayama and Yuko Tanaka looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. Shuichi Itou should be considered middle-aged.
Then he said to Fujiki Takuya, Fujiki Naoto and other creative staff members who came with him:
"Mina-san, let's check in first! Those who want to rest can rest by themselves later, and those who want to go out for a walk can go by themselves, but it's best not to go too far, and it won't work without an interpreter!"
"Hi~"
There are eight people coming to the Cannes Film Festival this time. In addition to the actors, there are also backstage staff and interpreters.
The hotel they stayed in is an official cooperative organization of Cannes. It has good facilities and is also experienced in receiving tourists from various countries. More importantly, Naoki Naoyama has seen many celebrities from various countries who seem familiar.
When he came to his room, he saw that there was only one room, and there was only a bed, a TV and a small counter in it. Naoki Naoyama sighed
This is the first time to stay in an ordinary standard room abroad. People in the entertainment industry are either rich or noble. The high-end suites and presidential suites have been booked early, and they can't be bought with extra money.
Open the suitcase, hang up the suits and other things, and take out the toiletries. Just after the luggage was settled, the door of the room was knocked.
When I opened the door, I saw Yuko Tanaka, who was wearing a sun hat and sunglasses, standing at the door happily:
"Naoki-san, let's go shopping!"
"Well, wait a minute!"
Naoki Nagayama turned around and picked up his camera, and followed Yuko Tanaka downstairs. The two had agreed on the plane that they would go shopping in Cannes. This is not Tokyo, and basically no one knows them.
Although it seems a bit ambiguous, the world is witness that Naoki Nagayama and Yuko Tanaka are really just friends in their hearts, and both of them have someone they like.
"Can Naoki-san speak French?" Yuko Tanaka walked in front, looking for directions excitedly.
"No. But I know a little Italian, so it shouldn't be a problem to speak English in Cannes." In this coastal town famous for the film festival, there must be many people who can speak English, so Naoki Nagayama is not worried.
"That's good~" Yuko Tanaka found the direction with the help of the tourist atlas in her hand, "Let's go to the old town first! Then go to Cannes Bay~"
"Well!"
As they said, the two of them went to the place where the buildings were densely packed.
Some people say that the old town of Cannes is the most charming place in the city. This southern French city has a long history and all the buildings retain the characteristics of the Middle Ages.
The ancient and magnificent castle shows the weight of history. The brick and stone buildings shine in the sun, full of European style. There are also various European cottages and narrow cobblestone streets.
Passing through the artistic block, you can quickly walk to the Castle Art Museum, climb up and look far, and see the beautiful coastal scenery of blue sky, blue sea, beach, and palm trees.
The collection in the art museum is very extensive, with various 19th-century musical instruments, paintings, and cultural relics, which can allow people to travel through time.
"Naoki-san, I heard that Louis XIV's twin brother, the Iron Mask, was once imprisoned here, right?"
Yuko Tanaka had a little sweat on her forehead, but she was still very energetic, and asked while walking in the art museum.
"As for the Iron Mask, it seems to be in another monastery in the outer sea." Naoki Nagayama had learned about the history in advance, "But no one knows whether the Iron Mask is Louis XIV's twin brother. There are rumors that he is his biological father~"
"Haha, it's really mysterious!"
The two walked to a larger storage room, and there were actually Egyptian sarcophagi and dried corpses of African natives. And this somewhat brave big sister actually asked Naoki Nagayama to help take a photo with the African native brother.
"Yuko-san, are you really not afraid of nightmares at night?"
"Hey~ This is no different from a mummy, there is nothing to be afraid of!" Yuko Tanaka was disdainful, and then despised Naoki Nagayama's timidity.
Talking and laughing while traveling, Nagayama Naoki and Tanaka Yuko walked out of the art museum, and then went all the way to the long-famous coastal promenade, where they could enjoy the food and wine by the sea.
Without Naoki Nagayama, life in Tokyo is still busy, and the world has not stopped turning.
After these two days of fermentation, the popularity of "Don't Stop the Camera" has completely exploded, and the audience's evaluation of this movie has become even more polarized due to the promotion of caring people.
There was even a film critic who publicly appealed to everyone in newspapers not to watch the movie, saying that he himself left the theater after watching it for less than half an hour.
"No matter who made the movie, if there is no desire for people to watch it, then it can only mean that it is a bad movie!"
There are some excited words in the comments,
"Even though they say I have to hold on for half an hour, I'm here to watch a movie! Why should I hold on? Force it? Make myself uncomfortable? It's not like there are no other movies in this world!"
Such opinions really attracted some fans, and many newspapers began to take stock of other movies that could be watched during the same period!
In Shuyu's studio conference room, Otomo Yoshimura, Tomohiko Sugiyama, Eiichiro Watanabe and Souo Matsuo were all present. Faced with such an offensive of public opinion, everyone expressed their opinions.
"This is clearly Toei's trick!" Souo Matsuo said, pointing to the sorted movies to be watched, "How can a cartoon be compared with "The Camera Don't Stop"? The audiences of both are different!"
"Others just want to step on me and take advantage of it." Sugiyama Tohihiko was not excited, "It's a little trick to increase exposure, there's nothing to be afraid of!"
"However, the recent trend of public opinion in the media seems to be slipping in a direction that is unfavorable to tree friends." Souo Matsuo flipped through the newspaper in the middle of the stage and read some magazines, "Although there are still some sincere and objective comments, but"
"Positive information is not as disseminated as negative information. This is natural!" Watanabe Eiichiro explained from the side, "However, negative information will not last too long, so you don't have to worry too much, Sosei-kun."
"But."
The young Souo Matsuo was not as calm as others. This was his first movie. Every negative message was a blow to him.
"Is there nothing we can do?"
"Of course, we have also invited trolls to increase the spread of positive information." Sugiyama Chihiko said, "So the current public opinion goes back and forth."
Yoshimura Otomo, who had been listening, spoke:
"Naoki-san went abroad to participate in the Cannes Film Festival, so you should pay more attention to the current movie announcements. But there is no need to react too fiercely. Naoki-san has made an explanation. When he comes back, everything will be solved!"
Sugiyama Tohihiko frowned and subconsciously asked:
"Otomo-san, what are the chances of Naoki-san winning this time?"
"Well, let's talk among us, at least 70%!" Fangcun Dayou whispered, "Don't spread it outside."
"That's it. Then when Naoki-san comes back, there will definitely be no problem!"
Sugiyama Tohihiko's confidence has greatly increased. If Nagayama Naoki comes back holding the Palme d'Or trophy, then he will be one of the top authorities in the neon film industry, and his reputation among the people will be greatly increased.
When someone tries to hack him, no one else will believe it!
After the meeting ended and several other people walked out, Yoshimura Otomo breathed a sigh of relief. This meeting is actually to appease people's hearts. Although everyone is told not to spread the word, there are no secrets in the workplace!
When the news spreads, the centripetal force of the tree friends will definitely increase greatly, and they will become a rope to face the comments from the outside world. Although the centripetal force is still very high now~
"Come on, Naoki-san! When you get to Cannes, contact the lobbyists as soon as possible!"
He had no idea that at this moment Naoki Nagayama was leading a beautiful woman to play on the Croisette in Cannes.
When Akina Nakamori returned home in the evening, she turned on the light, and then saw Taro Taro happily coming to greet her!
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, Taro is very good today, right?!" Akina Nakamori stroked the dog's head and said with a smile, "Aren't you lonely at home looking after the house alone?"
While teasing the dog, I walked to the living room. When I turned my eyes, I saw that the pillows on the sofa in the living room were messy and scattered on the floor. Two of them were bitten and the cotton was exposed.
Not to mention that the items on the coffee table were knocked over and some of the remaining tea in the teapot was spilled out.
Seeing this, Nakamori Akina's mood fluctuated greatly, and then she immediately stared viciously at the dog that was still wagging its tail:
"Yutaro, what on earth did you do?!"
"Woof woof woof (listen to my quibbles!)"
"I don't care, how dare you demolish your home as soon as Naoki-san leaves?! It seems like I can't do it without giving you a lesson!"
"Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof."
The fur on his neck was suddenly grabbed, and Ying Tailang's original voice suddenly changed to Ying Ying Ying.
Nakamori Akina brought Gouzi to the evidence of crime and scolded her, and then heard the sound of Nakamori Akina's hand hitting Gouzi's head. It was so miserable.
Even Mew Taro retreated into his cat's nest, never daring to come out to scold him even though he was partly responsible.
After scolding Gouzi, Akina Nakamori had to clean up the mess by herself.
She also understood that this was because Naoki Nagayama had left in the past two days, and she was very busy, leaving early and returning late without time to walk the dog, which made Yingtaro's energy nowhere to vent, so he would destroy the house~
But there was no way, she still had to scold Yingtaro, otherwise he would form a habit of destroying the house every day.
"However, how about asking Maki to help walk the dog tomorrow?"
Akina Nakamori thought that her work was actually more regular now, either going to the TV station or shooting MVs and photos. Each time she went to a place, she would spend half a day, and the assistant was actually not that busy in the middle.
After the cleaning was done, Akina Nakamori took out the ingredients from the refrigerator and started to make her own dinner.
Half an hour later, Akina, who had prepared a dish and a soup, sat on the huge dining table and ate a little lonely.
Looking up and looking around, the luxurious and spacious large flat still looked very high-end and distinctive, but it was all cold and dead, and it seemed too quiet.
When Naoki Nagayama was there, there were at least three dishes and one soup on the table, and the two of them had a lively meal.
"Alas, it's the third day of Naoki-san's trip abroad. I miss him again~"
"But, it should be here today~"
You can't make phone calls on the plane, but you can call back when you arrive in Cannes.
Cannes is East District 1, and Tokyo is East District 9, so now...
Akina Nakamori looked at the clock, it was already 20 o'clock, so it should be just noon over there.
Naoki Nagayama and Yuko Tanaka found a small restaurant on the beach and ate local specialties such as assorted stew and grilled dogfish, and drank a large glass of wine~
Just as they were going to continue playing on the beach in the afternoon, Naoki Nagayama looked at the time:
"Yuko-san, it's almost night in Tokyo now, I want to report safety."
"Huh?" Yuko Tanaka looked at Naoki Nagayama in surprise, "I didn't expect Naoki-san to be such a good man who cares about his family? Are you reporting safety to your girlfriend?"
"Haha, yes~" Naoki Nagayama didn't have the shyness of ordinary young people, and said with a hearty smile, "There is someone who is worried about you, of course you should cherish this thought~"
Yuko Tanaka looked at the hearty smile on Naoki Nagayama's handsome face, and felt her heart skip a beat. She didn't know whether she was shocked by this free and easy attitude or moved by this seriousness in feelings. She just felt that the young man in front of her was so pleasing to the eye.
"Naoki-san!"
Naoki Naoyama was looking for a place to make an international call, and he was surprised to hear this call.
"Yuko-san, what's wrong?"
Yuko Tanaka walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder:
"When you meet other girls in Cannes, try to smile less! Otherwise, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble!"
"???" Naoki Naoyama was confused.
Yuko Tanaka did not explain much, but turned around and strode forward:
"Let's go, I also want to report my safety to my family! There seems to be a telephone booth over there."
"Can the telephone booth in Cannes call Tokyo?" Naoki Naoyama followed him in confusion. He was originally thinking of finding a place where he could make international calls.
"Moses, this is Nagayama's house."
As Akina's voice came out of the receiver, Naoki Nagayama smiled,
"Akina, it's me!"
"Ah, Naoki-san!" Akina Nakamori sat up happily on the sofa. She had been waiting for this call for a long time, "Have you arrived in Cannes?"
"Yes, I arrived a few hours ago, but at that time I thought Akina might not have gone home, so I didn't call." Naoki Nagayama said gently, "So I called you now."
"Yeah~" Akina Nakamori was very happy to hear her boyfriend's voice, and she didn't care about those small details, "Naoki-san, you have had a hard time on the flight these days?"
"Not really," Naoki Nagayama smiled, "I slept well in the first class!"
"That's good~"
"How is home? Did Ino Taro make trouble?"
"He made trouble! I'll tell you."
Akina Nakamori quickly told Ino Taro what he did today, so that the dog next to him didn't dare to say a word.
On the other side, Naoki Nagayama listened calmly, without any impatience, and told Akina Nakamori about his initial experience in Cannes. Finally, he hung up the phone reluctantly.
This call lasted for almost an hour, which shocked Yuko Tanaka on the other side:
"Naoki-san, I remember you and Akina Nakamori have been dating for almost two years, right?"
"Well, there are still two months left, what's wrong with two years?"
"It should be over the honeymoon period, right? How can you still talk on the phone for such a long time?"
Yuko Tanaka thought about herself, and now her relationship with Kenji Sawada has become dull. No, the underground relationship is actually quite exciting, but it is really impossible to say so much on the phone.
"During the honeymoon period, you have to talk on the phone for at least three hours a day. This time, we just haven't contacted each other for three days."
Naoki Nagayama smiled, paid the bill, and led Yuko Tanaka out of the telephone office. As expected, the telephone booth still cannot make international calls.
"I'm so envious~ It's better to be young!" Tanaka Yuko sighed. The love of young people is indeed more energetic than that of her age!
"What are you talking about, Yuko-san! Aren't you also young, and you are beautiful and energetic!
When we were walking on the beach just now, many people were peeking at you!"
Naoki Nagayama smiled and said that although Yuko Tanaka is already 30 years old, she looks young, with a graceful figure and well-maintained skin. Her skin is smooth and full of collagen. She looks like she is only in her early twenties. She is a beautiful sight walking on the beach in cool clothes.
"Let's continue to stroll along the seaside street! I heard that you can take a yacht to go around the sea~"
"Haha, good~"
Yuko Tanaka's mood suddenly became happy again~
