Tokyo Bubble Life

  Chapter 274 273, Naoki Naoyama is not your illegitimate child, is he?

  Director Masaki Kobayashi of Shochiku Films, and his old friend Masahiro Shinoda are walking out of a theater,

   Shinoda Masahiro, who has always been serious, rarely had a warm and gentle expression on his face at this time, "It's really a movie that people can enjoy quietly. Is this the second time for Masaki-san to watch it?"

   "Yeah, I watched it once at Iwanami's premiere before. The shots, editing, color matching, and soundtrack are all just right." Kobayashi Masaki was full of praise.

   Masahiro Shinoda asked at this time: "Naoki Naoyama, sure enough, the previous few movies were all written by him. Has this movie not been hidden at all?"

   "Hey, let me say that the young man is very talented~"

  Under the fisherman's hat, Kobayashi Masaki's rare eyebrows twitched, and the corners of his mouth raised, showing a hint of complacency.

   "How about it, let Zhenghao surprise you!"

   "Tch, it sounds like it's your own movie." Shinoda Masahiro returned to his serious expression, "Is it because "The Tale of Hachiko" was suppressed?"

   As one of the three standard-bearers of the New Wave Movement in Japanese cinema, Shinoda Masahiro is naturally very familiar with the suppression of the film industry, especially when he quit Shochiku Films when he was young.

   "There must be part of the reason. I heard that several established companies joined forces." As a big name in the film industry, Kobayashi Masaki naturally heard the news.

   Masahiro Shinoda was silent for a while, and after putting on the sunglasses, he uttered a few words: "It's so ugly!"

   "The Tale of Hachiko", a film with a unique box office and unique creativity, is not recognized by those old antiques, and they even make up excuses that "the main character is an animal, so they cannot be nominated", which makes people look down upon it.

  You know, starting from this movie, maybe there will be movies with animals as the protagonists, and there may be a small branch in the movie genre!

   "Maybe it's because Kadokawa put all his resources towards Oscar."

   Masaki Kobayashi was about to put on his sunglasses and go back to the company to read the script, but his steps suddenly slowed down.

  The blue sky in Tokyo began to turn cloudy at some point. The clouds covered part of the light in the uncondensed state, and the sky gradually dimmed, forming a depressive gray-blue.

   "Zheng Haosang, it's going to rain!"

  “There are not even clouds, and the cloudy days in autumn will last for a long time.”

   Masahiro Shinoda looked up at the sky, and felt that the tone was very similar to the color in the movie just now.

   "Jung Ho-sang, how about we recommend this movie?"

   "What do you recommend?" Shinoda Masahiro, who was still looking up at the sky, answered subconsciously, "You said you recommend the movie "That Summer, The Tranquil Sea"? Blue Ribbon?"

  The old-fashioned people in the film industry are blocking "The Tale of Hachiko", and while they are not paying attention, reporting a new niche movie is really a surprise.

   Masaki Kobayashi put on the sunglasses slowly, and said lightly, "Academy Film Awards or Mainichi Movie Awards are also fine~"

   Masahiro Shinoda, who knows his friends well, knew that Masaki Kobayashi was serious after hearing this: "But Shochiku should recommend his own movies, right?"

   "Yeah, so I want Zheng Haosang's company to recommend it~ Anyway, you don't have any movies this year."

   Masahiro Shinoda looked at Masaki Kobayashi with strange eyes. Although his words were frivolous, this request was actually very serious.

   It is already regarded as the personal favor of this famous film industry, and in the future, he will use his relationship to influence the selection.

   "Masaki-san, that Naoki Yongshan is not your illegitimate son, is it?"

   Naoki Naoyama, who had no idea that he had become an "illegitimate child", was shopping for ingredients in the supermarket.

  Check the weather forecast, there may be heavy rain in the next few days, and the cherry blossoms in the Yamazakura Garden are likely to be destroyed by wind and rain~

  So while there was still some time left, he invited his friends to come to his house on weekends, and enjoy the cherry blossoms by the way,

  Currently invited Genta Nakai, Suzumi Hoshino, Otomo Yoshimura, Shuichi Ido,

  Basically, they are all acquaintances on the company side, and Yuantao Nakai has had a lot of business contacts with Shuyou Yinghua because of the relationship with Naoki Nagayama, and he is relatively familiar with people in the company.

  As for other friends in the entertainment industry, they are either filming, or they are too busy with announcements, or they are not suitable for this kind of private gathering.

   There are already a lot of people, and they can all have a party, so Naoki Nagayama started to sweep the ingredients in the big supermarket.

  To be honest, people in Tokyo eat similar things when viewing cherry blossoms, nothing more than sushi, dumplings, fried chicken nuggets, chicken skewers, boiled edamame with salt, taiyaki, etc.

Naoki Yongshan can cook a lot of Chinese food, but it is still too much for nearly ten people. He decided to have a self-service barbecue. In this way, he only needs some processed meat and vegetables, and then wear them with iron skewers. Of course, some Cooked food and snacks are also needed, as well as beer and drinks~

  The oven was already prepared in Yamazakura-in, as was the charcoal,

   It's a pity that it's not the kind of long oven, otherwise you can let friends have a good look at XJ's kebabs!

  When I returned to Yamazakurain, I found that Genta Nakai and Suzumi Hoshino were already waiting at the door. It was only 2 pm, and there were still more than 5 hours before the evening party!

   "Won Tae-san and Ling Mi-san, why are you here so early?!"

  Naoki Yongshan quickly opened the door with the remote control, let the two of them in first, and then drove the car into the garage by himself, "Wait a minute, I'll stop the car."

  Hoshino Suzumi was very happy to see Euntaro running out wagging his tail, and immediately started playing with him,

   And Genta Nakai followed up the garage: "Lingmei was afraid that you would not be able to do it alone, so she came here early to help."

   Helped move all the ingredients bought in the supermarket to the kitchen, and he said in surprise: "Did Naoki-san actually buy so many things? Suzumi is right, one person must be too busy!"

   "Hahaha, most of them are cooked food and snacks, but I still have to thank Suzumi-san, she has transformed into a considerate wife!"

  Naoki Naoyama saw Hoshino Suzumi who was getting along happily with Eutaro, and smiled, "From Genta-san's face, it can be seen that Suzumi-san is a very qualified wife!"

  Not long after getting married, Nakai Genta's face shape has begun to approach that of a middle-aged uncle, and his figure has become more and more blessed.

   "Of course!" This guy didn't take it seriously, he was complacent, and he laughed wantonly, "This is the happiness of love!"

   He was fed dog food before eating

  Hoshino Suzumi came over and was surprised to see the kitchen full of ingredients: "Naoki-san, are you going to make a New Year's Eve dinner?"

   "No, today we plan to have a self-service barbecue!"

  Naoki Naoyama introduced the classification of ingredients: "Sushi and snacks and desserts just need to be placed on the plate. The remaining meat and some vegetables should be cut into small pieces, marinated, and then skewered with iron skewers."

   "When the time comes, the barbecue will be done on-site. I have already prepared mustard, cumin, barbecue sauce and so on!"

   "It looks like Naoki-san has already considered and perfected it~" Hoshino Suzumi opened the bag of ingredients and looked, and there were indeed a lot of cold food.

  Although the steps are simple, if Naoki Yongshan is to do it alone, it may take until evening to complete. Now that there are two helpers, the preparation work is much easier.

  The three of them cut the meat into small pieces, marinated them, cut the vegetables, and put the other cold food on the plate. Of course, you still have to cook the salted edamame by yourself.

  Leaving Hoshino Suzumi in the kitchen to skewer skewers, the two men went to the warehouse to get the oven and charcoal,

  Take out the grill box from the warehouse, which is basically brand new. After all, Naoki Yongshan has only cooked barbecue steaks and the like once.

   "Naoki, should we try grilling it first?" Genta Nakai put some carbon blocks in the cleaned oven, "After all, I don't know how the freshly made skewers taste like."

   Naoki Naoyama looked at the sky, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was estimated that it would be here soon. "Yes, then try with a bunch or two~"

   I don’t know if boys have a barbecue plot, but it’s not for eating, it’s simply an urge to light something up,

   Naoki Naoyama and Genta Nakai excitedly lit up the charcoal, and then took two skewers of mutton skewers from the kitchen.

As the flames licked, a faint sizzling sound came from the mutton skewers. After a while, the fat mutton quickly dripped out oil, exuding the unique aroma of fat, and the vegetables and green peppers in the interval also became soft. The slight fruity and meaty aromas are mixed together to create the most original aroma that arouses the appetite.

  Smelling this aroma, both Naoki Naoyama and Genta Nakai felt very hungry, and Taro beside him was anxiously walking around beside the grill, making whining sounds from time to time.

   "It looks almost like~"

   After brushing the seasoning for the last time, chef Naoki Naoyama picked up two skewers of mutton skewers and handed them to Genta Nakai who couldn't wait.

  After getting it in his hand, he immediately took a bite from the top. Genta Nakai was so hot that he inhaled, but he still chewed a few times and then swallowed it down:

   "Naoki-san, mutton skewers Saigao! Very, very delicious!"

   As he spoke, he walked towards the kitchen, wanting to bring delicious food to his wife.

   "Take a tray and continue, don't drip oil into the living room!" Naoki Yongshan shook his head helplessly, this guy will never escape Hoshino Suzumi's grasp in this life~

  I also took a bite of the mutton kebabs. It was really fat and juicy, and the meat was full of fragrance. Then I had a bite of roasted green peppers. It was fresh and refreshing, just to relieve the greasy, it was really good!

  Yutaro was already drooling greedily, he couldn't help putting his front paws on Naoki Naoki's waist,

   "Okay, okay, I'll share it with you!"

  Naoki Naoyama fanned it slightly with a cattail fan to let the temperature drop, then rolled the mutton off and put it in the food box of Euntaro.

   This big dog just rolled his tongue, and most of the mutton disappeared. Judging by the way he licked it, he should be very satisfied.

  As the night falls, the landscape lights in the courtyard have been turned on, reflecting the cherry blossom trees like a dream,

  The lights in the living room and the hallway are all turned on, and the entire courtyard becomes bright, no different from daytime.

  Slowly, the guests came one by one~

  Fangcun Otomo and his wife Fangcun Yuxue arrived first, and their son was probably embarrassed to come; next came Xiuichi Itang and his wife, who also brought 7-year-old Jiayi Yitang,

  After seeing Naoki Naoyama, the little girl greeted Naoki Nagayama excitedly from a distance, and then ran over after getting off the car and gave Naoki Naoyama a big hug, which made Shuichi Itou jealous.

   "Why does Jiayi-chan have such a good relationship with Naoki-san?" His wife, Kazui Ido, was also surprised. Shuichi Ido often took his daughter to the studio, but she only saw Naoki Nagayama occasionally.

   "Because someone has a cute face." Sour~

   There are 7 more people in Yamazakura Garden, and it was only so lively when it was just renovated.

  After Naoki Yongshan welcomed the people in, he began to move all the prepared ingredients to the small table in the corridor,

   "Mina-san, let's have a self-service barbecue today~ If you want to eat, you can bake it yourself, or you can order food, and let me bake it for you!"

They were all acquaintances, and everyone relaxed quickly. Several married women quickly got together and chatted about their parents, and several men also gathered near the oven. A team, running around in the living room and the courtyard, very happy.

  Shuichi Ido drank beer and looked at the cherry blossom trees in the yard.

   "Naoki-san, the cherry blossoms that bloom at the end of October are rare. Is it a special variety?"

"I don't know, it was left by the original owner." Naoki Yongshan flipped the chicken skewers, "I asked the agency to ask before, and they said it was not a special variety, and it didn't bloom in autumn before. "

  Nakai Genta heard it: "Huh? Isn't that what happened after Naoki-san moved in?"

  Otomo Fangcun said with an old god: "There is a legend in our hometown in Nagano that this kind of Fengshui tree is closely related to the luck of the owner. If the owner is lucky, it will flourish. If the owner is unlucky, it will wither."

   "Doesn't that mean that Naoki-san's luck is very, very good?"

   "Hahahaha, Won Tae-sang, don't tell the truth~"

   Naoki Naoyama said it very happily. He said that he was lucky, and he really echoed his journey after moving in.

  In the eyes of others, in such a short period of time, he has achieved an achievement that others may not be able to achieve in a lifetime, which can indeed be said to be a stroke of luck.

Naoki Yongshan put the grilled chicken skewers on a tray, and asked Yitang Jiayi who ran over to share with several wives. She could also go over to eat some dim sum, and then put the more difficult-to-cooked wings in the oven .

  Drinking beer and joining the chat of men,

   "By the way, Otomo-san, how is the talk with Fuji TV going?"

   "Ah, Minister Takano has let go, and after the recycling established by the production committee, we can confirm the share."

   "That's good~"

   Shuichi Ido was a little confused at this moment: "What cooperation? Production committee?"

   "Eh? Shuichi-san doesn't know yet?" Naoki Naoyama glanced at him in surprise, "It's a TV drama about campus love in cooperation with Fuji TV."

   "TV series? Are you going to make a TV series?!"

  Seeing Yitang Xiuyi's surprised expression, Naoki Naoyama asked Yoshimura Otomo with his eyes: "Didn't you tell Xiuyi-san?"

   Fangcun Otomo also responded with his eyes: "Recently, I have been drinking every day. When I arrived at the studio, Xiu Yisang was on the set. I thought you would tell him!"

  The two of them tacitly missed the opportunity to tell Shuichi Itou~

   Fangcun Otomo finally gave an excuse: "Ah, isn't Xiu Yisang filming a movie? The cooperation of this TV series hasn't really been finalized yet, so it hasn't been officially announced yet."

   "I see. The production committee for the TV series hasn't been established yet," Shuichi Ido seemed to accept the reason, "Wait a minute, what do you mean by the split?"

   "Ah, it is the script division of the TV series." Otomo Fangcun explained.

   "The script has been completed?" Itang Xiu looked at Naoki Yongshan for a moment, "Naoki-san's script?!"

  Although it is an interrogative sentence, it is 90% certain.

   "Well, a random script I wrote a long time ago, campus love~ Imagination when I was young and frivolous~" Naoki Yongshan smiled embarrassedly.

   ".Is the script in there?" Shuichi Ido's eyes showed eagerness, he really didn't want to miss Naoki Naoki's script.

   "Yes, yes. But Xiu Yisang, isn't your movie still going to be filmed?"

  Yi Tangxiu was shocked. Could it be that he missed it again?
