Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 592 599, Let the Police and Gangsters Sing Karaoke Together? ?

Musashino University in Tokyo is located in Shinmachi, West Tokyo, next to Musashino Central Park.

Or it can be said that this is the university town of Musashino University. Because the university is very large, plus Musashino Municipal Elementary School, Musashino Municipal Junior High School, and nursery school, etc., this area is completely different from Bunkyo Ward in Tokyo. Pretty much, the teaching atmosphere is very strong.

But Naoki Nagayama already knew this when he was filming "Boys Over Flowers". So when I came here this time, I felt familiar.

"This cherry blossom must be more than ten years old~" Naoki Nagayama patted the cherry blossom tree next to a house and sighed, "It has already sprouted~"

"Naoki-san said it was like a seed sprouting~" Itou Shuichi complained next to him, then looked at the peaceful atmosphere around him and said, "It's very quiet here."

"Either we go to work or go to school, who has free time like us~" Nagayama Naoki and him continued to walk on the gentle slope, looking at the surrounding scenery and buildings from time to time, "Ah, I found the shrine."

"?" Itou Shuichi looked at a small shrine next to him, a little confused, "Is there a shrine in Naoki-san's movie?"

"Ah, no, I want to shoot a scene where the bride is wearing white clothes." Naoki Nagayama gestured with his hands to show the distance. "From this angle, it's definitely OK."

“It always feels like you’ve already shot the movie in your head and now you’re just finding the real scene bit by bit.”

Itou Shuichi looked at Nagayama Naoki and said with great envy. For a director, this is the most rare talent.

"Hahaha~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, he was very close to the truth~

The two men were strolling casually on the streets of the university campus. It felt like some college students were walking on the street. When they walked to Musashino Central Park, the large grassland suddenly opened up the mood.

"Yes, this is one of the scenery!"

Itou Shuichi asked: "Naoki-san, do you plan to start filming as soon as possible?"

"Well, the other clips are ready. But there are some particularly important shots that can't be shot until the cherry blossoms are in full bloom."

"The cherry blossoms are in bloom? That's only a week away. Will it be there in time?"

“I still have to take pictures even if I don’t have time!”

In Naoki Nagayama's mind, the heroine Usuki Yuno stood under the cherry blossom tree and shook off the petals from her clothes when she was seeing off the moving company workers. Such a beautiful and innocent scene seemed not to be in the real world. Same.

"We want bright sunshine, light pink tones, and cherry blossoms falling like snow!"

Nagayama Naoki murmured to himself, making Itou Shuichi next to him feel like he was possessed!

"Hey, hey, are you possessed by a monster?!" Itou Shuichi patted Nagayama Naoki on the shoulder, "Would you like to go to the shrine to drive away the evil spirit!"

"You are the one who wants to exorcise evil spirits!" Nagayama Naoki retorted.

At this time, a gust of wind blew by, causing the evergreen shrubs and grass on the ground to sway slightly. A few dead leaves rolled past the eyes, bringing with them a faint smoke and dust. There was a feeling of loneliness on the empty path.

Nagayama Naoki took a breath and felt the atmosphere and said, "Shuichi-san, maybe the box office of this movie will not be that high!"

"."

Itou Shuichi was suddenly stunned. This was the first time Naoki Nagayama said that a movie he made might not have a box office.

He was speechless for a moment, but after a few seconds, Yitou Shuichi forcibly redeemed himself:

"Haha, do we make movies just for the box office?!"

"Is not it?"

"My directors want to use movies to show their hearts!"

Seeing his friend next to him clumsily trying to comfort himself, Nagayama Naoki patted his shoulder: "Shuichi-san, don't worry, the box office is about 1 billion even if it's not high!"

"."

You apologize to the millions of directors in Japan who can only beg for more than 100 million in box office! Explain to them what it means that the box office is not that high! ! !

Itou Shuichi, whose eyes twitched, was thinking about making a complaint when he saw Nagayama Naoki had turned around and continued walking.

"Naoki-san, what do you think the box office of "Love Will Stop" will be?"

"I think there should be 500 or 600 million~"

"Huh?! It's actually lower than "April Story"?!" Itou Shuichi was a little annoyed, "Why?"

"Needless to say, Shuichi-san, how can your first love compare to my secret love!" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Don't you know that secret love is the most beautiful emotion?"

"You guy, please apologize to my first love!"

Smiling while wandering around the streets and alleys of Musashino, Nagayama Naoki had already found a slope with benches, a university cafeteria, a shop selling clothes, and a used bookstore full of story-telling atmosphere.

"It's almost done. I'll start shooting in a few days." Naoki Nagayama said, "Where's Shuichi-san?"

"My movie is scheduled to be released from April to June, and the release date is July. There is still a long time!" Itou Shuichi said.

Nagayama Naoki thought for a while: "In the first half of the year, there are two youth movies, and the box office performance will not be very good. In the second half of the year, it will be a commercial film to make money! Is Shuichi-san already preparing for "High School 2" and "Midnight Ring 2"? "

"Hi, the script is already in production."

During the previous chat, Naoki Nagayama roughly talked about the direction of the script for the sequel, but of course he didn't write it himself this time. As the chairman of the Shuyou Group, he couldn't do everything himself, so these matters naturally had special people to take charge.

Idou Shuichi continued: "I want to let Masataka-kun take more responsibility for the filming of "Hot Blood High School 2" this time, after all, he is younger."

"Huh? In that case, Shuichi-san is ready to invest more in "Midnight Ring 2"? "Naoki Nagayama asked curiously.

"No, I will be a producer. Horror films are less difficult to shoot, and I plan to find some new blood to try."

"?"

"By the end of the year, the newly recruited directors of Shuyou Film should have adapted to the rhythm of Shuyou, and it's time to let them get started."

An important thing for the reorganized Shuyou Group is the training of the new generation in the system. Since the beginning of the year, new people have been recruited continuously.

In the opinions of the three leaders, Shuyou should get rid of the habit of relying on Naoki Nagayama for all revenue and become a large enterprise that can truly rely on itself to grow continuously.

After having a meal in the university cafeteria, Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Itou separated.

Shuichi Itou was going to Tokyo University of the Arts to see if his juniors were working well, whether they could find one or two good seedlings, etc. Naoki Nagayama drove to Harajuku, where the construction was going on.

The three-story building in Harajuku has changed a lot. At least from the outside, it no longer looks old-fashioned. The simple and trendy exterior wall stands out among the surrounding buildings. It is on the corner of the street, which attracts people's attention even more.

Walking into the fence, a group of workers were working hard. Naoki Nagayama saw Naoya Sakata and the big-bodied Nagayama Kaede next to him.

"Brother Feng? Why are you here too?" Naoki Nagayama said in surprise.

"Ah, it's Naoki." Nagayama Feng turned around and saw his cousin. "I went to the karaoke machine manufacturer this morning and urged them to make progress. I will come to the construction site this afternoon to take a look."

After seeing Naoki Nagayama, Naoya Sakata also came out: "Naoki-san, the exterior wall has been completed, and the wires are being laid, and the interior decoration is also being done."

"Yeah, it's still very fast."

Naoki Nagayama nodded, "Is Mr. Honma not here today?"

"The teacher went to Kyoto, and the courtyard there officially introduced running water today, so the teacher wants to see if there are any construction problems on site." Naoya Sakata said, "Then release the koi. After one or two months, you can see whether it can survive for a long time."

"Is that so?"

The courtyard in Kyoto has been roughly completed. What remains is the release and maintenance of the courtyard in the next few months to see if there will be any problems with the courtyard in the natural wind and rain.

It is guaranteed that it will be in the most perfect state when it is delivered.

At this time, Naoyama Kaede interrupted: "Naoki, the KTV project is going smoothly. Just now, Sakata-san said that it will be very fast after the wiring is laid. The decoration will only take one or two weeks. It can be opened in April."

"Well, our MV is already in production. After the karaoke machine is installed, we can invite some friends to experience it in advance." Naoyama Naoki thought of his juniors who were making MVs and decided to squeeze them again.

The procedures related to the opening are naturally annoying, but they are all handled by the General Affairs Department. Naoyama Naoki and Naoyama Kaede only need to consider the opening activities and subsequent promotions.

Sakata Naoya interrupted: "Naoki-san, there is something I want to remind you. Recently, a few guys who don't look like good people came to the construction site to inquire."

"Don't look like good people?"

"Yakuza~" Sakata Naoya said it more clearly.

"Ah, that's it." Naoyama Naoki understood instantly that this was a pre-scouting to collect protection fees!

Nagayama Kaede looked unhappy: "What the hell! How dare these guys come to collect my protection fee? Which club are they from?"

"They are a group of young people, they seem to be bikers." Naoya Sakata said, "They all come at night, and their clothes have words like "Ken of the Noisy Class", "Yotoku Suffering", "Love Luo Wuyong", "Love Tianliu I Love", "Walk to Death and Love" on them."

"Bikers, they are not considered a club, right? They actually collected protection fees too?" Naoki Nagayama was curious.

"The boundaries are not so clear. "Seeing that Naoki Nagayama didn't seem to understand, Nagayama Feng explained, "Sometimes they are subordinates of the club, and sometimes they are small groups of individuals, like a youth training camp."

Harajuku is very close to the Imperial Palace and municipal agencies, and there is no big club occupying this area. So the so-called biker gang should just be a small fight.

"No, I have to teach these guys a lesson! Wait for me to find someone to overthrow their gang!"

Nagayama Feng felt that he was offended by the little punk. The pride of being the third generation heir of the Shimizu Yamaguchi-gumi helm suddenly emerged, and he wanted to find his younger brother for a showdown before the Yakuza.

"My territory, someone dares to plant a flag? !"

"Brother Feng, we are a regular business, not planting a flag to occupy territory." Naoki Nagayama was speechless, "Also, doing business should make money in harmony, not fighting and killing"

"This"

Nagayama Feng, who already knew a little about Tokyo, was a little helpless for a moment, "What do you think we should do, Naoki? Should we ask the Yamaguchi-gumi in Tokyo to negotiate?"

"Ha, it's not that complicated. They are just a bunch of hooligans. Let them know that we can't afford to offend them."

Nagayama Naoki smiled, "Brother Feng, by the way, grandpa and uncle haven't come to Tokyo to see what KTV is like, right?"

"Yes"

"I'm going back in March, so I'll invite them to Tokyo to play!" Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "Come and participate in KT V's opening ceremony."

"Huh?" Nagayama Feng twitched a little, "But if someone of grandpa's level came to Tokyo, the Metropolitan Police Department would be nervous!"

"Nervous?"

"Yes, every year the Yamaguchi-gumi's Kobe rally would make the Kobe Metropolitan Police Department very nervous, with police cars escorting, police surveillance, police officers maintaining order, etc." Nagayama Feng said, "If grandpa came to Tokyo, the police would also be nervous."

"If you bring more people, you will be monitored!"

Ah, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is also afraid that the underworld will make any big moves!

"Hahaha, we are not a gang action, it's just that my grandson opened a store in Tokyo, and grandpa came to take a look." Naoki Nagayama smiled, "Dumb tape, if there are police who are worried, let the police come in and play together on the opening day."

"."Let the police sing karaoke with the underworld??

Nagayama Feng looked at his cousin and thought he must be crazy.

"It doesn't matter. Grandfather is still a good citizen, isn't he? It's normal to come to a nightclub to have fun~"

"."

The boss of the Yamaguchi-gumi in Shizuoka District is actually a good citizen? Listen to what people say, right?

Besides, Nagayama Hayato is over 80 years old. You let him come to a nightclub at such an old age? !

I ran around Harajuku with Brother Feng who I met by chance.

Harajuku in the 1980s was not as prosperous as it is now, but there were already many shops and department stores along the street.

Perhaps it was between the three major parks that there were endless visitors coming and going. Some came to go for a walk, some came to worship, and some came to watch the game. After all, the National Stadium, Tokyo Gymnasium and Jingu Second Stadium are all here.

On the bustling commercial street, souvenir shops and snack bars are everywhere. Naoki Naoyama also took a string of squid and ate while walking.

"Brother Feng, this place will definitely be worth every inch of land in the future!"

Nagayama Feng didn't care, after all, his family had such a large piece of land, and the Shimizu Yamaguchi-gumi relied on protection fees, not rent: "Yes, if you collect protection fees here, you will definitely make a lot of money!"

"."

It seems that the idea of ​​letting Brother Feng buy a house needs to be put aside.

"By the way, Brother Feng, will you still participate in the filming of "Hot Blood School 2"? "Nagayama Naoki asked because Nagayama Feng's main focus this year is on the operation of KTV and other nightclubs.

"What about the sequel?" Nagayama Feng paused, "Will Serizawa Tamao lose?"

"Serizawa Tamao has graduated, and then opened a hair salon, cutting people's hair every day." Naoki Nagayama said the joke in "I'm a Big Brother", looking at his cousin's tangled face like a prank.

"He actually opened a hair salon"

"Yeah, people always have to grow up!"

". Can't he open a nightclub or something?"

Brother Feng's words reminded Naoki Nagayama that wouldn't it be a good idea to promote new things like KTV with so many nightclub scenes in the movie? !

Advertising fees are saved!

"Since it's Brother Feng's request, then Serizawa Tamao can open a KTV!"

Naoki Nagayama laughed, "How about it, Brother Feng, do you want to play yourself?!"

"Hahaha!"
