Chapter 1012 Chapter 1021, Private Marseille! We came to the wrong place!!!
The snow melted and the weather became colder.
The time has finally come for the awards ceremony for the three most famous awards in the Japanese film industry.
Since the Academy Awards was to be broadcast live, Akina helped Naoki Nagayama choose a dress at home starting in the morning.
Naoki Nagayama was a little helpless as he was used as a clothes rack, but Akina was very excited. She asked her husband to change his clothes one by one, even choosing his tie and cufflinks over and over again.
"Wouldn't a simple formal suit be enough?! If you're a man, there's no need to be so elaborate, right?!"
"That won't work. The previous Burberry formal wear is out of season. As a celebrity, of course you have to keep up with the trends!"
Mingcai said seriously that she has been designing clothes recently, and her understanding of fashion has deepened a lot~
Naoki Nagayama was once the spokesperson for Burberry. During that time, he always wore the popular styles of the season. But later, perhaps because Naoki Nagayama did not appear in front of the camera frequently and was not exposed enough, Burberry changed a star.
"."
Naoki Nagayama really wants to say that a man is all about his inner qualities. Even if he walks onto the podium in a down jacket and cotton shoes, he is still the famous Nagayama director in the film industry.
But seeing his wife's serious attitude
Forget it, it’s just a clothes hanger, what’s the big deal!
"But, Akina really won't go with me?" Naoyama Naoki asked, "We're just going to join in the fun."
"Forget it. My belly is too big now. Nothing I wear will look good on me."
Mingcai touched the five-month-old baby and felt a little emotional.
"In two months, I might have to wear special maternity clothes~"
Naoki Nagayama noticed that Akina was feeling a little down because of her deformed figure, and he quickly comforted her:
"It doesn't matter, Akina looks the best pregnant woman in maternity clothes!"
"Hahaha~ Naoki-san only knows how to comfort people~"
"Because Akina is really pretty!"
Although it was a very clichéd statement, Akina gently hit Nagayama Naoki after hearing it, but her mood did become much better.
Finally, according to Naoki Naoki's low-key request, a dark fur collar windbreaker and a high collar cashmere sweater were selected for Naoki Naoki, and then matched with gray pants.
In the afternoon, Naoki Nagayama arrived at the NHK headquarters in a special car.
Speaking of which, this hall has undertaken quite a lot of activities. After the Spring Festival Gala and the Red and White Song Contest, there is also the Film Academy Awards ceremony. As expected, all large-scale events that need to be live broadcast need to be held here. It can be regarded as a monopoly organization!
A red carpet has been laid out at the main entrance of the hall, and reporters and fans who want to take pictures of the stars have gathered here. They are shivering in the cold wind just to catch a glimpse of their idols.
It wasn't the first time that Naoki Nagayama came. After getting off the car, he walked quickly along the red carpet towards the main entrance. He didn't want to show off like a peacock in the cold wind.
At first, some reporters didn't realize that this person dressed very modestly had surpassed many celebrities who were posing and was almost halfway across the red carpet.
"This...isn't this Naoki Nagayama?"
A reporter finally reacted and hurriedly greeted,
"Naoki-san, look over here?!"
"."
Although he really wanted to leave, he was called away, so he had to give some face to the media, so Naoki Nagayama had to stop and wave to the camera.
When I wanted to leave again, another official reporter called out:
"Naoki-san, Naoki-san, please wait a moment, could you answer a few questions?"
".I am going to present the awards."
"One or two questions, quick!"
The reporters arranged by the authorities even stood in front of Naoki Nagayama to block his way, fearing that this guy would suddenly slip into the NHK Hall.
"Well, okay~"
The reporter breathed a sigh of relief and quickly signaled his cameraman to follow, but he didn't expect that this would also attract other reporters.
"Naoki-san, you are preparing to shoot a new TV series recently, right?!"
"Hmm~" Naoki Nagayama still wants to promote his TV series, "It's a TV series of the same name adapted from my latest novel "Tokyo Love Story". If you are interested, you can look forward to it. It will be released at the end of March."
"It's so quick. Didn't I hear they were still looking for actors? The requirements for actresses are very high."
The news that Shuyou is looking for actors has been circulating in the circle for a long time, and it has caused quite a stir. Many actors hope to participate.
"Has the actress been found yet?"
"Hi, luckily the leading actress was found a few days ago! The other actors are almost confirmed too!"
The reporter was even more surprised: "Excuse me, who is this actor? Are you familiar with him?"
"Her name is Suzuki Honami, and she's an actress with a very contagious smile!"
Naoki Nagayama naturally doesn't mind preheating the TV series.
"Please look forward to her performance in the TV series."
"Thank you."
This reporter wanted to ask more questions, but the other waiting reporters were also scrambling to ask questions. They all passed the microphone to Naoki Nagayama and talked at the same time.
"Naoki-san, how is Akina-chan doing these days?" "When is the due date?" "Have you named the baby?" "."
Akina, who did not appear on the stage, once again easily stole the limelight from Naoki Nagayama.
"Please ask some work-related questions." Naoki Nagayama said worriedly, "Akina is at home taking care of her baby, everything is fine."
"Hahaha~" "Okay~" "Work."
The reporters immediately changed their direction:
"Naoki-san, besides Tokyo Love Story, does Shuyou plan to release any other movies this year?"
"Well, there are two plans for now. One is currently being edited. It's Shuichi-san's "The Man with Zero Sense of Existence"."
Naoki Nagayama returned seriously,
"I'm writing the script for another one right now, and the title has already been decided, it's called 'Tiger of Ginza'!"
“Ohhhh?!” “Another action movie?” “Which gangster is it based on?!”
When everyone heard the name, they immediately thought it was a gangster movie!
After all, this name is too similar to "Hayato". The Eagle of Sumida, the Tiger of Ginza. Is this going to become a gangster universe?
"Hahaha, it's not a gangster movie, nor is it an action movie." Naoki Nagayama explained repeatedly, "If you have to count, it can probably be considered a drama?!"
"Can you tell me what kind of movie it is?"
"."
After finally getting rid of the media, Naoki Nagayama finally arrived at the venue and met with Fumio Ishikawa from the Academy Award Association.
"Thank you for your hard work, Ishikawa-san."
Naoki Nagayama watched as many staff members came to Ishikawa Fumio to confirm the problem, and he felt a little emotional.
"This time, is it the last term for President Tanaka Tomoyuki?"
"Oh, that's true. President Tanaka is not in good health and cannot handle such tedious tasks as award ceremony." Ishikawa Fumio explained.
"Ha, then who will be the next vice president?"
“It all depends on the decision of the board of directors.”
Although Ishikawa Fumio was modest in his words, he probably thought in his heart that it was most likely him, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.
However, Naoki Nagayama is not optimistic about this. It is true that Fumio Ishikawa is Tomoyuki Tanaka's confidant, but the Film Academy Awards Association does not belong to Tomoyuki Tanaka alone. Fumio Ishikawa is a very capable person, but he is just an executor.
If he really wants to run for president, Naoki Nagayama might have a better chance than him.
At this time, someone else came to ask for instructions. Ishikawa Fumio said respectfully to Nagayama Naoki:
"Private Marseille, Naoki-san, I need to go take care of this~"
"Ah, it's okay, I'll go chat with other acquaintances."
"I'll leave you tonight, Naoki-san."
"Mmmmm~"
Tonight, Naoki Nagayama serves as the chairman of the jury and is responsible for announcing the final winner of the grand prize. He also plays a very important role as the award presenter.
While waiting for the live broadcast to start, Naoki Nagayama met many familiar faces in the venue, including his old friends Masaki Kobayashi and Masahiro Shinoda, as well as famous directors in the industry whom he had met before.
Including the somewhat serious Kurosawa Akira, who has a strong aura~
As time went on, more and more celebrities walked through the red carpet at the entrance. Naoki Nagayama greeted Tanaka Yuko, Kitano Takeshi and others, and even met Harada Mieko, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.
"Mieko-chan is filming "The Man on Fire" now, right?" asked Naoki Nagayama.
"Hey, Naoki-san is watching too?" Harada Mieko said in surprise, "It's almost finished editing now~"
"Well, because it's Director Fukasaku's masterpiece."
What’s even more strange is that Keiko Matsuzaka is also participating in the show. You know, she was the one who kicked Kinji Fukasaku!
Director Fukasaku is indeed a ruthless person. In order to make a comeback, he can endure such humiliation! He is quite like Han Xin in ancient times!
"It was said that it would be released in April or May this year, but now there is no chance. I don't know what happened."
"."
It might be the fault of "Hayato"!
After chatting for a while, I saw Kanako Higuchi whom I hadn’t seen for a long time. She looked very gentle with her hair tied in a bun, a traditional Yamato Nadeshiko-style beauty!
At first glance, Naoki Nagayama felt that she was very similar to Satomi in "Tokyo Love Story". She was a great beauty that several male protagonists recognized!
"But Nanzi-san." Naoki Nagayama asked directly after exchanging a few pleasantries, "Do you have any schedule recently?"
"? If there is a schedule, it happens to be available. What does Naoki-san mean?"
Kanako Higuchi had a scandal with Naoki Nagayama a few years ago, and she was indeed a little moved at that time. However, it is all in the past~
"I have a TV series called 'Tokyo Love Story' to shoot. I think Kananko-san is very suitable for the role of Satomi in it."
Naoki Nagayama didn't beat around the bush.
"I want to invite Kananzi-san to participate in this TV series"
"Satomi?" Higuchi Kanako had of course read the novel "Tokyo Love Story" and knew that Satomi was the second female lead, a very beautiful character.
So Naoki-san thinks I'm a great beauty?!
Kanako Higuchi suddenly felt happy:
"Do you think I'm suitable, Naoki-san?"
"Of course!"
Naoki Nagayama nodded without hesitation.
"The moment I saw Kanan Zi-san, I knew that this role must belong to you!"
"Hahaha, since Naoki-san has invited me so sincerely, of course I have to participate!"
There is a large luxury yacht in the Pacific Ocean, which sailed directly from Tokyo Bay to the vicinity of Miyakejima.
The ocean is naturally warmer than the land, and due to the Japan Warm Current, the sea water temperature here is even better. When the sun is out during the day, it even feels like early summer on the yacht.
Rich people like to experience the feeling of summer in winter~
At this time, the entire yacht was playing exciting music, girls in bikinis brought drinks, and the guests were dancing and partying in the yacht hall, partying day and night. When they were tired or sleepy, they would go to the small room to rest.
Outside by the deck pool, some were chatting, some were casually basking in the sun, and others were talking about the latest interesting things in the entertainment industry.
The yacht was filled with delicious food, all made on site by five-star chefs, fine wines, all high-end drinks costing tens of thousands per bottle, and handsome men and beautiful women, some of whom were models, some were students, and some were 18th-tier celebrities that I had seen on TV.
Matsuo Muneo and Nishimoto Banyuki feel that these days have really opened their eyes
After getting on the boat in Tokyo Bay, the two felt strange at first. Wouldn't it be cold to have a yacht party in the middle of winter? Who would have thought that they would sail directly to the Pacific Ocean!
It's not cold at all, it's even a little hot.
Bathed in the warm sunshine and feeling the rising temperature, the chill brought by Tokyo's winter just dissipated!
Such a place is definitely not something you can find randomly in the Pacific Ocean, but it has been carefully located and specially visited!
Matsuo Muneo and Nishimoto Banyuki had already taken off their coats and were drinking beer on the deck in their shirtsleeves:
“Isn’t this the luxury of the rich?”
"I thought rich people would go directly to Hawaii for vacation, but I didn't expect that you can also have a pool party in the sea not far from Tokyo in the winter."
"Why haven't I heard of it before?"
"It's just like those membership-only clubs, isolated from ordinary people!"
"." Nishimoto Banyuki took a sip of wine, "Sure enough, we were too young before. The life of rich people is really unimaginable!"
Matsuo Muneo nodded:
"We should now think about how to learn more so that we can make a film called Tiger of Ginza!"
“If it’s filmed, it will be a big hit!”
"You need to find someone to ask and make friends first"
The two looked at each other and began searching the deck for a guy who must be rich. They soon found a handsome mixed-race guy with a smooth body and a handsome face, wearing an open white shirt. He looked very lonely.
"Hello?" Matsuo Muneo walked forward in his unfamiliar English, "Can you speak Japanese?"
"I'm Neon!"
The mixed-race handsome guy spoke fluent Japanese, looking at the two young men who suddenly came up to him.
"You are?"
"We came here with friends," said Nishimoto Banyuki. "We've never seen a party like this before. It's really surprising!"
“It’s an eye-opener!”
The two of them spoke to the handsome guy in unison and soon became familiar with each other.
"Brother Qingming, we have never been in such a circle before. I wonder if there are any more exciting activities. You know, the kind of activities that rich people participate in."
Nishimoto Banyuki asked cautiously.
"Hahaha, of course!"
The handsome mixed-race guy didn't care at all. He pulled the two of them towards the next cabin, and then he opened the door of a cabin.
There was smoke everywhere, and there were many figures lying in all directions, and white flesh worms rolling on the bed.
Nishimoto Banyuki and Matsuo Muneo were pushed in by the handsome guy. Only then could they see clearly that there were both men and women inside, all with confused expressions.
Then I saw the handsome guy pick up some strange pills from the table:
"Good brothers, don't say that I don't take care of you, this is something more exciting!"
"!!!"
There was no need to explain this, the two of them understood it immediately! This is contraband!!!
The guys in this cabin are all high on drugs!
"Come on, come on, this is good stuff we got from the Golden Triangle, but it will cost you money to go back to Tokyo, so come and try it!"
Seeing the handsome guy walking towards them with pills, both of them turned pale:
"No, no, we two don't eat contraband."
“This is not good for your health.”
"Haha, it looks like you two are still rookies." Someone else in the room said with a smile, "Then don't get too excited right away, let's fly some leaves first!"
"Yeah." The handsome guy nodded and handed over a few hand-rolled cigarettes, "Here, try this. It's very relaxing~"
"When you guys are relaxed, I will take you to try something you've never tried before!"
Looking at the tight T-shirt under the mixed-race handsome guy's open shirt, and the tight pink underwear under his pants. Then seeing his lustful eyes looking at the two of them.
Nishimoto Banyuki and Matsuo Muneo seemed to understand something in an instant!
"Private Marseille! We are in the wrong place!!!"
