Chapter 190 189, Men Are Young Until They Die

Chapter 190 189, Men will remain young until they die~

Now that we have ridden the roller coaster, the next step is naturally the Ferris wheel.

"Are Akina-chan afraid of heights?" Naoki Nagayama asked while waiting in line, "I heard that from the top of the Ferris wheel, you can see the entire Disneyland. If the weather is good, you can see the city of Los Angeles. "

Akina, who was eating a donut, answered vaguely: "A little bit, where is Naoki-san?"

In order to appease their slightly scared mood, they both bought a donut and tasted it while walking.

"Probably not?" Naoki Nagayama recalled his previous experiences. It seemed that he didn't feel anything above high-rise buildings. Even the glass corridors he played in in his previous life had no significant reaction.

"Akina-chan, do you think the fear of heights is a psychological reaction or a physiological reaction?"

"It must be psychological. If you cover your eyes, wouldn't it be fine if you can't see?"

"But I've heard that some people will experience symptoms such as dizziness and dizziness in high places even if they close their eyes."

"Is there anything else like this?"

The two of them chatted about nonsensical topics while lining up, and soon it was their turn.

The small private room is about the same size as a four-wheeled carriage and can usually accommodate 2-4 people. After Nagayama Naoki and Nakamori Akina entered, they found one to cook on their own.

"Akina-chan, say 'eggplant' to the camera~" Naoki Nagayama naturally brought a camera and had already taken a lot of photos.

When I came to the United States this time, apart from other things, I took a lot of photos. There are also a lot of photos that need to be developed after I return to Japan.

"Hi~"

Xiao Mingcai made a gesture happily~

The Ferris wheel at Los Angeles Disney is not the gentle and slowly rotating Ferris wheel. It is a dark Ferris wheel with a complex track on the inside in addition to the ordinary movements on the outside. Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori chose interior seats.

At the beginning, both of them looked at the scenery outside with great interest, but when they slid down quickly for the first time, Akina screamed in shame, and at this time, Naoki Nagayama naturally took a picture. ,

Hahaha, another piece of Akinajiang’s “dark history” is here~

It only takes about ten minutes to come down. Compared with the excitement during the ascent, the half way down seems a little calmer, but after getting used to it, you can still enjoy the panoramic view of Disneyland.

After jumping out of the box, the two decided not to play exciting projects for the time being.

We boarded the sightseeing carriage in the park and headed to the fairy tale world area.

You can see Sleeping Beauty Castle full of fantasy and dreams from a distance.

"Akina-chan, Snow White!"

On the road ahead, a staff member wearing a Snow White costume was taking photos with tourists, and there were several real dwarves beside him to maintain order.

The carriage journey was naturally coming to an end here, and Xiao Mingna happily joined in. In this era, the story of Sleeping Beauty has spread throughout Japan, and there should be no little girl who doesn’t want to take a photo after seeing it.

Nagayama Naoki took many photos of her, Snow White and the dwarfs, and then they were pulled up to take photos together. She even asked a tourist to help take photos~

In the fairy tale world area, there are suddenly more images of various animated characters, making people feel like they are in a real fairy tale kingdom.

There are also strange little dolls and abstract customs from various countries in the small world, which makes people really see the scenery from all over the world at once.

Naoki Nagahan bought two apples from the old woman dressed as the evil queen, and said to Akina who was still looking around:

"Cute little girl, do you want a red and fragrant apple? I'll give you one to eat. I believe you will like it~"

"Hahaha, Naoki-san, what are you talking about~" Xiao Mingcai smiled and took the apple, then took a bite.

"How is it? Are the apples delicious?" Naoki Nagayama was still making fun of him, "Do you feel numb all over?"

"Ah~~~I can't stand it anymore. I feel confused. I'm going to faint." Xiao Mingcai sat down on a bench, closed her eyes and pretended to be fainted by the poisonous apple.

"How can anyone continue to eat apples after passing out?"

Naoki Nagayama watched her close her eyes and take a bite of the apple, and couldn't help but hit her on the head with a knife~

"Hahaha~"

At noon, we ate at a restaurant on the main street of Disneyland, the Rose Crown Restaurant in Epcot Theme Park. This is a restaurant full of British style, just like entering an old British pub.

However, although British food is all dark cuisine, ordinary snacks and simple food are still passable. The fried cod and chips wrapped in the British Post also taste very delicious~

During the afternoon tour, the two went to the Future World area first, where the dream of fairy tales directly transformed into a wonderful imagination of the future, as if they had entered another era.

Star Wars has not yet become a theme park, but the Stormtroopers and Jedi Knights from Star Wars appear on the road from time to time. Every time they collide, it is a "Dragon Fight", and then they separate again.

Naoki Nagayama bought a model of the Millennium Falcon and a one-to-one lightsaber souvenir, plus some souvenirs, and carried them on his back like a scavenger.

"Naoki-san, you look like a child~" Akina looked at Nagayama Naoki, and she didn't know when she was eating a marshmallow again~

Naoki Nagayama barely adjusted the supplies on his back, looking at the figurines in Akina's small bag, the small pendants and souvenirs on his wrist: "Didn't Akina-chan buy a lot of souvenirs?"

"But Naoki-san bought toys, and he's already an adult~"

"Hahaha, Akina-chan, there's a saying: Men are teenagers until they die~" Naoki Nagayama said his famous saying in the future.

"Naoki-san always has some weird excuses!" Akina muttered, and then went to see other projects with great interest. What a lively little girl~

The huge Disneyland can only be played roughly in one day. If there is time, Naoki Nagayama originally wanted to watch the fireworks show or the float parade in the evening, but Akina's flight was in the evening, and the two took the return taxi around 3 pm.

"Akina-chan, have a good trip~" At the entrance of the hotel, Naoki Nagayama said goodbye to Akina, "I will go back tomorrow~"

"Hi, see you in Japan~"

Looking at Akina's brisk back, she will debut after she goes back this time.

If she is so busy, the chance to see each other again may be rare~

After returning to the Millennium Hotel, Naoki Nagayama also began to pack his luggage and mailed all the things he bought during this period back to Japan.

In the evening, he called Shuichi Idou and Otomo Yoshimura to tell them the time to go back.

"Naoki-san, Idou Shuichi's tone revealed complaints, "I left the company behind for almost a month~"

"Haha, that's because there are two trustworthy people like Shuichi-san and Otomo-san~" The old-fashioned rhetoric seemed to be unable to appease the person on the other end of the phone.

"Trustworthy or something is just an excuse for Naoki-san to be lazy!" Itou Shuichi still had a complaining tone, "Naoki-san, there are still some things to discuss~"

"What happened?" Hearing his tone, it seemed that something happened to the company, "Is there a problem with the film promotion?"

"Ah, it's not that, there is a scandal~"

"What? Someone wrote a scandal about me again? Who is it with this time?"

Naoki-san, why are you so self-conscious?

Itou Shuichi didn't elaborate: "It's not Naoki-san, it's the other two. It's not a big deal. I'll talk about it in detail when you come back."

"Is that so? Okay~" Since Shuichi-san said it was not a big deal, Naoyama Naoki didn't take it too seriously, "I'll be back soon~"

"Hi~Have a good trip~"

That night, Naoyama Naoki found Robert for a drink again, and then returned to the Millennium Hotel, spending his last night in Los Angeles in a daze.

Tokyo at the end of March is a season of birdsong and flowers. In the streets and alleys, you can see colorful flowers and new green leaves of grass and trees from time to time.

When Naoki Nagayama returned to Tokyo, it was still early in the morning because the plane took off in the morning and arrived in Tokyo following the sunrise.

He found a taxi at the airport and rushed to Yamazakurain in Chiyoda with a large suitcase.

In the shadow, the outline of Yamazakurain was almost invisible.

After opening the door and turning on the lights, the house that had been silent for almost a month finally lit up.

The housekeeping company has been cleaning on time. The day before yesterday, they were specially tidied up. There was no dust in the middle of the house. It was as clean as if he had never left.

Naoki Nagayama didn't have the energy to take a good look. After washing up a little, he lay down on the bed. The journey of more than ten hours in a row made him very tired. Even the first-class cabin didn't allow him to rest well.

What woke Naoki Nagayama up was his rumbling stomach.

He slept until 11 o'clock and became a handsome guy full of energy again.

I had been eating Western breakfast in the hotel for nearly a month. Today, I cooked a pot of porridge and added some side dishes to solve breakfast and lunch together.

"Hi, Otomo-san, I'm home."

Naoki Nagayama sorted out the souvenirs and gifts he brought back while talking on the phone with Yoshimura Otomo.

Although Idou Shuichi said he was not in a hurry before, Yoshimura Otomo was still a little worried. He called him as soon as he came back.

Sure enough, if you suddenly lose contact on a working day, the first person to call you must be your boss.

"Otomo-san, don't worry. This rumor has been going on for so long. It won't have a big impact."

"Naoki-san, but recent reports seem to want to make us a third-rate, unprofessional production company with few resources and skills. The two recent movies are just luck."

In Japan, if a company is labeled, it is very difficult to whitewash it. Reputation is something that cannot be restored by a single step down.

"Dumb tape, Otomo-san, we are such a company~" As long as I lie down first, those slanderous public opinions can't hurt me.

"Um, Naoki-san, at least you are a screenwriter and starring actor with two representative works, and you are already a famous person." Yoshimura Otomo didn't understand Naoki's idea, "You should say something to echo your identity at this time."

As the fame of the movie gradually increased, Yoshimura Otomo could already feel the respect of others when communicating with the industry, and he was more enthusiastic when passing on news,

It is already known that Toho Co., Ltd. is behind this public opinion. As one of the few major film companies in Japan, the comedies released this year were swept by "The Gas Station Robbery Incident". It is very shameless, so some newspapers hinted that A smear campaign was carried out.

"Hahaha, Otomo-san, don't worry. As a small company with nothing, there is nothing to lose~" Nagayama Naoki continued,

"The movie belongs to us. Dongbao can't take it away or anything. Their little actions just gave us a little publicity in vain."

Now is no longer the time when the results can be snatched away at will.

He picked up a Snow White doll, intending to give it to Ichido Shuichi's daughter, and then picked up a bottle of shampoo that Robert said had a hair care effect, intending to give it to Yoshimura Otomo to improve his baldness, and another Big bag of Disney specialty candy~

"Otomo-san, I will come to the studio in the afternoon and bring you a gift~"

Fangcun Dayou on the other end of the phone responded: "Hi, let's talk then."

After hanging up the phone, Naoki Nagayama placed the two gifts in the living room, then went to the garage to start his car that had not been used for more than a month.

In addition to the small souvenirs that came back with the suitcase, there are also some items that were mailed in advance, such as clothes, bags, paintings, wooden artworks, etc., which are still in the freight company's private warehouse and need to be picked up now. come out.

This time of spring is a good time to go for a drive.

There is no need to open the flower too fast, the refreshing sunshine shines on the body, which is warm but not blazing; the gentle spring breeze is applied on the face, which is cool but not cold; the sweet fragrance of flowers occasionally comes with the wind, which makes people feel happy. The spirit wants to go to the source.

The most famous cherry blossoms in Tokyo have entered their peak blooming period. The cherry blossoms on both sides of the road should have been blooming for a long time. They only occasionally shed some petals and green buds have begun to appear on the branches. However, those sidewalks full of cherry blossom trees are blooming at this time. The trees are full of pink, and when a slight gust of wind blows, flowers rain like snow.

After getting the stored goods back, Nagayama Naoki's convertible couldn't even fit it in. Going to the United States this time was really a waste of money, but the money in the account was not much less.

At the end of March, the settlement of the first quarter will begin again. From novels, movies, rentals, and song royalties, cash cows are all contributing to Naoki Nagayama’s great cause of wealth and freedom.

When he arrived at the studio, Shuichi Itou, Otomo Yoshimura, and the staff of Shuyu Pictures were all waiting for him, and even several members of the Wildcats and Junko Ito were also there.

"Mina-san, long time no see~"

Nagayama Naoki was stunned for a moment after entering the studio, and then with his super psychological quality, he smiled and said hello as usual,

"I brought gifts for everyone~" he said, putting a large bag of candy in his right hand on the table, "I bought them from Disney."

Everyone kept saying things like "Naoki-san feels tanned~" "Naoki-san is more handsome!" "How is Naoki-san playing?" "Arigado", etc.

Then Nagayama Naoki also chatted with everyone for a while, answered everyone's questions, and finally pulled Itou Shuichi and Yoshimura Otomo into the office.

"I'm scared to death." Naoki Nagayama wiped a light layer of sweat from his head, "Shuichi-san, Otomo-san, what's going on? Why are everyone here?"

Itou Shuichi said with a smile: "It's been so long since I've seen Naoki-san~"

Nagayama Naoki rolled his eyes: "Speak nicely~"

"Hahaha, it was actually Otomo-san who told Naoki-san earlier that he had brought gifts~" Itou Shuichi explained, "Several girls who could have gone back earlier did not go back because they said they wanted to see Naoki-san. Shusang. Then by accident, everyone was in the studio."

"Then there's no need to go together. It makes me feel like something big happened~"

Yoshimura Otomo said at this time: "In fact, it is the same as a country's leaders who must make an appearance after a trip to calm people's hearts and consolidate their support."

Nagayama Naoki was speechless: "Otomo-san, it feels like I have become a politician."

Then he handed over the gift in the other hand: "Shuichi-san, Otomo-san, this is a gift for you."

"Oh? It's for me, what is it?" Itou Shuichi opened the bag happily, but then he was a little disappointed, "Eh? It turns out that it's Snow White's doll. I stopped playing with it after I was in junior high school."

Xiu Yisang, have you exposed something?

"Of course it's for Kai-chan."

"Ah, yes, give it to Kayi-chan, hahaha, how can I play with such a doll~hahaha" Itou Shuichi concealed it.

"Shuichi-san, your image has been ruined. There is no need to explain or cover up anymore~"

On the other side, Yoshimura Otomo opened the package and saw instructions all in English: "This is?"

"This is a shampoo from Los Angeles!" Naoki Nagayama explained, "I asked a local friend to help me choose it. They said it protects the hair very well."

Fangcun Dayou subconsciously touched the top of his head and whispered: "Arigado Naoshu Mulberry~"

Then he quietly received the gift behind his back and put it away.

After reminiscing about old times, the three began to talk about the recent public opinion incidents.

The scandal between a simple and simple actor has now begun to involve movies.

Many media have said that this comedy may have a bad influence on teenagers, making them think that robbing a convenience store is not serious and funny, which may cause an increase in teenage robberies.

"Hahaha, with so many robbery movies and chivalrous movies, why aren't they afraid that teenagers will become more violent?"

Naoki Nagayama was so disdainful that even the most relaxing comedies were not allowed to be broadcast. Is this going to make TV movies return to Taiga dramas?

"Otomo-san, haven't you already determined who is behind this? Find a few media outlets that are friendly to us, use our movie as an introduction, and link it to some of Toei's works that reflect reality. The point of view is the current point of view, and let them publish it."

"But if that's the case, isn't it discrediting yourself?"

"We are a small company, and we don't have much to lose, but Toei's reputation, even a little bit of loss will cause great losses." Naoki Nagayama explained,

"The petty actions before could only be directed at a small group within Toei. When these actions backfire on the entire Toei, they will conflict with each other~ and then these actions will naturally stop."

"Hey, I understand, I'll arrange it now!"

As if he had found a backbone, Yoshimura Otomo handled it with full confidence.

"Shuichi-san, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first~ I still have many gifts to give~" Naoyama Naoki said goodbye to Itou Shuichi,

"Akidou Madai, Naoki-san, what's the next movie?" Itou Shuichi asked directly,

"How can that be possible? We've already made two movies in half a year! It's okay to have a full year off this year!" Naoyama Naoki widened his eyes.

"But if there's no work, I'll feel empty"

"Then take some other filming jobs, Shuichi-san can also see if there's a suitable script~" Naoyama Naoki held his head, there's actually a worker looking forward to work, "If you think it's suitable, you can start the project and find investment to prepare for filming~"

"That's too troublesome. Naoki-san, don't you have any good scripts saved?"

". No!!! Am I a piggy bank?!"
