Tokyo Bubble Life

  Chapter 458 Chapter 457, Explosive Repercussions, Be the Overlord of Lily of the Valley!

   Entering mid-September, the temperature in Tokyo is getting milder. The temperature during the day is around 25°C. You can go out with a short shirt, and it won’t be too hot with a coat, but you need to cover yourself with a thin quilt at night.

  With the departure of the hot summer sun, the green plants in the city are more verdant, and the deep green leaves intercept every ray of summer light, as if they are beginning to prepare for the harvest in autumn.

  Under the green shade, teenagers in twos and threes gather together to discuss the different troubles and joys in life. But this time, there was a common topic in their conversation - "Hot-Blooded High School"!

   "If I go to Lily of the Valley, I must also dominate Lily of the Valley!"

  A strong young man said so, but in exchange for the teasing of his companions,

   "Shuangta, you guy, you will be knocked down by Serizawa's fist! Just like that second-year who is overconfident!"

  The young man named Shuangta froze: "Oishi! You guy, do you want to try the strange power that can dominate Suzuran?"

   While talking, a few students started to fight in the shade of the tree, making the friends watching laugh non-stop.

  When gathering with friends during breaks, after school, after get off work, and on rest days, the young people seem to be talking about a high school called Suzuran, telling the story of Takizawa Genji and Serizawa Tamao's struggle for hegemony.

  High school students who wear uniforms casually have become a trendy thing. Even the teacher's repeated orders cannot make them wear their uniforms.

   From time to time, guys from Secondary School would shout on the street:

   "I am the man who will be the overlord of Lily of the Valley!!"

  Even the older college students were very enthusiastic about discussing the characters in "Hot-Blooded High School" with their classmates, and even encouraged their friends to watch the movie for the second time or even the third time.

  In the variety shows on TV, there are suddenly more images of high school students in uniform. The talk show is also discussing the popularity of "Hot Blood High School", and they are also discussing enthusiastically whether such a school really exists in reality.

   Johnny’s Junior Team, Shibukaki Team and Tahara Toshihiko were asked relevant questions in all the announcements because of their direct participation in the show.

  Only a few days after it was released, this movie has already spread word of mouth among the crowd, making people who haven’t seen it feel the urge to go to the cinema to find out.

   "Preliminary. Successful!"

In the office of the studio, Otomo Yoshimura looked at the newspaper reports and said to Shuichi Itou, once the movie "Hot Blooded High School" was released, the explosive response swept across the theaters all over Japan, making the movies of the same period pale in comparison .

  Major newspapers and magazines have also commented on every aspect of the movie, whether it is casting, plot or shooting, all are clearly exposed under the pens of all-pervasive reporters.

  Ido Shuichi was also reading a newspaper: "Ah, yes, it's been released for less than a week, and the estimated box office has already exceeded 200 million. When word of mouth spreads, it shouldn't be a problem for the box office to reach 500 million in the first week."

   "It's really an impressive result. I don't know how many awards we can get in this year's film competition."

  Otomo Fangcun has already considered the Blue Ribbon Awards and Academy Film Awards at the end of the year.

   "Don't get too excited, according to Naoki-san's prediction, the criticism of "Hot-Blooded High School" will come out soon." Yi Tangxiu looked at Yoshimura Otomo, "Has the relevant media already greeted you?"

"Hey, all the good media have already sent gift money, and other media have also agreed that if they want to report negative things, they will inform in advance." Fangcun Otomo said, "With the cooperation of Kadokawa Haruki-san, several magazines have also reported Passed the gas."

   "It always feels like it's not well-prepared or perfect." Itou Shuichi said, "By the way, where did Naoki-san go?"

  Otomo Yoshimura smiled: "Naoki-san should have gone to participate in the promotional activities in Kyoto today, and it seems that there will be a groundbreaking ceremony for the garden afterwards."

   "Huh? At such an important moment, you actually went to the groundbreaking ceremony?"

  Yi Tangxiu looked disgusted, but when he heard that Naoki Yongshan was still so calm, his mood calmed down a lot.

  After putting down the newspaper, Shuichi Ido also prepared to go out.

   "Xiuichi-san? What are you going to do?"

   "If Naoki Naoki doesn't care, then we poor people can only worry about it." Yitang Xiu waved his hand, "I'll go find my classmates in the media industry and see if I can say something nice."

   Naoki Nagayama, who was slandered by Shuichi Itou and Otomo Yoshimura, was already in Kyoto at this time.

  In a movie theater in Kyoto, Naoki Naoyama and starring Hiroyuki Sanada, Toshihiko Tahara, and Mieko Harada just finished attending the media meeting.

  The reporters in Kyoto asked all kinds of questions, and wanted to discover angles that their colleagues in Tokyo hadn't written about, but they were all perfunctory by the leading actors.

   "Naoki-san, do you want to have a drink later?" After the promotional event ended, Toshihiko Tahara and Hiroyuki Sanada suggested, "I haven't been to Kyoto for a long time."

   "Private Marseille, I have another event to participate in later, let's do it next time~"

  Naoki Naoki tactfully declined the invitation of the two men, and watched the two men go out chicly together. The two were very good friends in the movie, but they didn't expect to have a good relationship outside the movie.

   "What event is Naoki-san going to participate in?" asked Mieko Harada, the only heroine.

   Mieko Harada, who didn't even attend the premiere, is filming a movie called "Bakumatsu Youth Graphite" Fukuzawa Yukichi". If the venue didn't happen to be in Kyoto, she wouldn't even participate in this promotional event.

   "It's a groundbreaking ceremony for a courtyard." Naoki Nagayama replied, "How is Mieko-chan's movie going?"

   "It takes a lot of time to shoot a historical movie like this." Mieko Harada sighed, "It's still in the early stages of shooting, and many scenes are not satisfactory, and the actors are also adjusting."

  Movies of this era pay special attention to antiquity and antiquity. When you meet a serious director, the props team will go crazy if you meet the requirements of the road of service!

  The shooting cycle is also very long. The legendary slow work and meticulous work.

   "Then is it okay for Mieko-chan to come out today?" Naoki Naoyama asked.

   "I don't have any roles in these few scenes, and they are all filming male scenes." Harada Mieko replied with a smile, "So it's okay to ask for leave."

   "That's it~" Naoki Yongshan nodded, "Is there anything to do this afternoon? If there is nothing to do, would you like to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of my yard together?"

   "Oh? Is it okay?" Harada Mieko asked.

   "Of course, it would be lonely if I was alone, it would be best to have friends by my side~"

   Naoki Naoyama and Mieko Harada walked outside while talking. Since it is afternoon, they must have a meal together at noon.

   I told Akina Nakamori before that the miso in Kyoto has a strong taste, but in fact there are many other dishes in Kyoto.

  Besides, due to the large number of temples, it is famous for its superb dishes that use vegetables and fruits instead of meat, especially tofu dishes.

I told the taxi driver directly that I was going to the most famous soup tofu restaurant in Kyoto. The uncle driver, who was nearly half a century old, took the two of them directly to a restaurant in Dongshan District called "総本家ゆどうふOdan Shimizu" .

  Many old shops in Kyoto have exquisite courtyards, and this soup tofu restaurant that has been passed down for more than two hundred years is no exception.

  Walking into the store, the quaint tables and storefront still retain the style of the Edo period,

  Outside the window, the pond and spring garden is quiet and serene, with gurgling streams flowing in it, and the tofu in the pot is interesting.

   Naoki Nagayama and Mieko Harada ordered a yudofu set meal. The starter was a plate of baked tofu with sweet miso sauce.

   "Ou Yixi (delicious)~"

   Mieko Harada took a sip and said happily,

   "Sure enough, it is a delicacy that has been passed down for hundreds of years!"

  “.”

  Naoki Naoyama is still a little unaccustomed to the practice of Japanese girls saying that everything is delicious no matter what they eat. He thought it was a commercial talk on TV, but he didn’t expect it to be the same in private.

  But this grilled tofu skewer is really delicious. The sweet miso neutralizes the fishy smell of tofu very well, and highlights the umami taste of tofu without destroying the original taste of tofu.

  After the appetizer, the casserole tofu uses a stove that has been around for hundreds of years, which is very old-fashioned. Inside the casserole are several large pieces of soft tofu, slurping in the clear soup base,

  After the entrance, the tofu has its own fragrance and the rich taste of the soup base. It is delicious, tender and smooth.

  Naoki Naoyama and Mieko Harada chatted while eating delicate and delicious tofu.

   "Naoki-san, when did you buy land in Kyoto?"

   "Well, in the middle of this year, because I like the cherry blossoms and red leaves in Kyoto very much, I want to have a separate courtyard here where I can enjoy it."

   Naoki Naoyama blew on the steaming tofu and took a sip.

   "Then every year during the cherry blossom season and red leaf hunting, wouldn't it be enough to travel to Kyoto?"

   Mieko Harada couldn't understand why she wanted to build a house here.

  “When traveling, I come and go too hurriedly, I always feel that I don’t appreciate the beautiful scenery carefully, and I still compete with other people for a scenic spot.”

  Yongshan Naoki smiled, "Just like this soup tofu, you need to taste it slowly to make it more delicious."

   "Sounds reasonable~" Harada Mieko also carefully examined the tender white in the spoon, and then savored it carefully, "However. Even if a house is built here, it will be with tourists, right?"

   Naoki Naoyama smiled: "So I want to build a garden of my own~"

   "The courtyard?"

   Mieko Harada subconsciously looked at the exquisite courtyard of this tofu restaurant, thinking that it was such a courtyard, and it looked really good.

  When the two of them finished enjoying the soup and tofu dishes, and then took a taxi to the Noble Courtyard in Sakyo District, Mieko Harada opened her mouth wide when she looked at the courtyard surrounded by walls and covering an area of ​​nearly 3,000 square meters.

   "Naoki-san, do you want to build a sleeping hall?"

   "Haha, how is it possible. If the sleeping hall is built, it will be at least four times the size of this one."

   Naoki Naoyama saw that a simple pergola had been set up inside the wall, and Takashi Honma was already there, so he waved his hand,

   "Mieko-chan, let's go in, the groundbreaking ceremony should be ready."

   Everything that needs to be demolished in the noble courtyard has been demolished. The original shrubs and weeds have been cleaned up. The structure of the remaining main house is still intact, but the reconstruction materials are slowly being prepared.

   "Takashi-san! Naoya-san! You are all here!" Naoki Nagayama greeted Takashi Honma and Naoya Sakata.

   "Hi, actually we have already rented a hotel nearby." Honma Takashi said, "We will be here for a long time during future construction."

   "Ah, that was hard work!"

"Haha, this is what we should do. Naoki-san gave us the opportunity to be creative, we must cherish it!" Honma Takashi said with a smile, "By the way, the 'Dizhen Festival' is almost ready, we It's time to start."

"Hi!"

   Naoki Naoyama took Harada Mieko into the simple pergola, where a priest wearing a divine attire had already placed all the tributes on the table in place.

  The so-called 'dizhen festival' is a prayer ceremony entrusted to the shrine before the construction of the house, asking the gods for the right to use the land, asking the gods to bless the building safety, and bless the homeowner's family to live happily on this land, etc.

  Generally, the gods are first invited to come, treated with offerings and drinks, and then sprinkled with rice and salt to drive away evil spirits and purify. After that, the owner has to pull weeds and break ground. There are more than a dozen steps, which are quite cumbersome.

  Naoki Naoyama followed the command of the priest, and finished one item at a time. After giving away the gods at the end, he had to give a red envelope. Fortunately, Takashi Honma had prepared a red envelope—50,000 yen.

  After the groundbreaking ceremony, Takashi Honma directed the construction team to enter the site, while Naoki Naoyama took Harada Mieko to make a brief inspection.

   "Naoki-san, you said before that you don't want to compete with tourists for a scenic spot, so you want to build your own yard?"

  Yongshan Naoki nodded: "Yes, in spring and autumn, it is a good choice to come here for vacation by yourself, or to escape the heat in summer."

   Mieko Harada looked at the handsome guy beside her, and found that her impression of Naoki Nagayama had changed.

   At first I thought it was just rich, but now I realized that this guy is super rich!

   "It's really amazing!"

  In a club in Tokyo, Kinji Fukasaku asked Yamada Yoji angrily,

   "Yoji-san, didn't you say there is no problem at all?

  Why is "Hot-Blooded High School" released in all theaters?

  What about the classification of R18+? "

  Yoji Yamada also sighed: "Who knew that Kadokawa was so cautious, and actually turned around from the United States and introduced it again!"

  Kinji Fukasaku opened his eyes wide: "Could it be possible to completely avoid domestic restrictions in this way? This is completely a loophole in the law!"

   "No way, and we never thought of it. This trick was only used by adult films before." Yamada Yoji said helplessly, "We in the review team can't see the film at all!"

  Facing a movie that starts with an FBIWarning, the Film Ethics Management Committee has absolutely no way to intervene!

   "Kono Duck! Kadokawa is so cunning!"

  Kinji Fukasaku thought this was a trick conceived by the cunning Haruki Kadokawa,

   "Yoji-san, can't we use this to make a fuss?

  For example, "Hot Blood High School" knows that its content has adverse effects, especially when it was released in the United States to avoid censorship? "

  Yoji Yamada shook his head: "They can say that the target of the film is the global market, so it is more convenient to start directly in the United States

   Besides, Yan Er-kun, Japanese movies were not restricted because of violence at all before. We want to forcibly grade "Hot-Blooded High School", which itself cannot be hyped. "

"this"

  The evil plan that had been well planned was emptied from the very beginning. This made Kinji Fukasaku very aggrieved, so he could only take a sip from the wine glass.

  The spicy wine made the blood burn, Fukasaku Kinji loosened his collar and calmed down:

   "Yoji-san, since this method doesn't work, we can only continue to work **** the newspaper. The reporters who write black material are all right, right?"

   "Well, there is no problem with this at all. A reporter has already gone to the Shizuoka subgroup of the Yamaguchi group in Shimizu City to verify that the group leader there is indeed from the Yongshan family."

  Yoji Yamada said, "The evidence and photos have been shared with other media, so there must be no problem this time!"

   "Well, coupled with the previous criticism of youth violence, this time it will definitely set off a wave of public opinion."

  Kinji Fukasaku felt a little relieved,

   "In this case, this year's Academy Film Awards will definitely not have this movie!"
