Tokyo Bubble Life

   "Naoki-san, long time no see~"

   I saw Takashi Honma and his apprentice Naoya Sakata again in the Honma Architectural Design Office. The two of them rushed back to Tokyo from Kyoto in the morning.

  At the small reception table, Naoki Nagayama and Takashi Honma sat on one side, and Naoya Sakata served hot tea to the two of them in turn, and then sat on the side and chatted a little

  There is a short-haired young girl in the work room over there, like a shy child during Chinese New Year, hiding in the work room and not coming out, it should be Ishida Xinhai who answered the phone before~

   "Honma-san and Sakata-kun, I'm really sorry to call you back suddenly." Naoki Naoyama apologized slightly.

   "Haha, it doesn't matter. At present, the main body of the courtyard in Kyoto has been completed. The next painting and decoration, as long as we go to check and accept it~ there is no need to keep an eye on it all the time."

  Honma Takashi responded with a smile, and reported the progress of the courtyard by the way,

   “It is estimated that the construction of houses will be completed around February.

  In the next few months, we will perfect the landscaping and adjustment of the exterior courtyard. So the final delivery in June is absolutely no problem! "

   "Will this courtyard landscape take a season?" I was very happy when I heard the progress, but Naoki Nagayama was a little surprised when he heard that the courtyard took so long.

   Naoya Sakata helped to answer: "Naoki-san, the landscape layout of the courtyard is a very meticulous job. It takes time to match different plants, build and finalize the shape, and some vegetation needs warmer weather to be transplanted.

  And in order to ensure the landscape, we also need to replace some dead plants that are not suitable.”

   "In short, in June, the courtyard will be a complete, beautiful and formed building after it is completed"

  After hearing the explanation, Naoki Naoyama nodded. He still trusts Honma Design Firm, which he has cooperated with for so long.

   After continuing to chat in the Kyoto courtyard for a while, Naoki Naoyama expressed his intention:

   "Honma-san and Sakata-kun, calling the two of you back in a hurry this time is because there is another request to ask."

  Speaking of Naoki Naoyama, he took out the information given by Keiko Fujita before, pointed to the one in Harajuku and said: "This year, the company decided to build a new form of nightclub called KTV

  You can refer to the form of a club, but it is in the form of small boxes and karaoke equipment.”

  Naoki Naoki and the two talked about what needs to be designed, and both the master and the apprentice took out a small notebook to record it, and it was obvious at a glance that they were in the same line.

   "The design style needs to be moderately luxurious, but not too extravagant. What is that word called? Light luxury!" Naoki Yongshan said eloquently, "It also needs a good sound insulation effect, and some guests will cry like ghosts."

  As the saying goes, the harder you suppress, the more you will explode your emotions. Japan is too repressed in work and social life, and it will be more exposed in KTV.

  The two on the opposite side recorded the key points for several pages, and then Takashi Honma asked: "Naoki-san, it sounds like this is a different model from other nightclubs on the market, is it unique to your company?"

   "Haha, yes!" Yongshan Naoki smiled, "Honma-san, besides this one, we will open many KTVs in the future! So this kind of commission can be said to be endless!"

"this"

  Honma Takashi's heart beat a little faster. Although it is not a challenging commission like Sanmaiju or Kyoto Garden, such a business commission will undoubtedly bring a lot of stable business to the firm!

Under Naoki Naoki's several big handwriting, Honma Architects has developed from a small family workshop into a small design firm with three members. This year, there are a series of commissions. Tokyo's largest architectural design What's the name of the office?

   "Hey, Naoki-san, we will definitely do our best!" Takashi Honma assured very firmly, "The preliminary design will be given within a week!"

"Hahaha, that would be the best~" Naoki Yongshan was very happy, and then found another copy from the information, "By the way, this is another private commission. I bought a piece of land near Lake Toya. to be designed in the style of a holiday cottage”

  After Naoki Nagayama left, Shinkai Ishida came out of the workshop and looked at Takashi Honma and Naoya Sakata who were reading the materials:

   "Teacher, Senior Sakata. Is the client just now a major client of our firm? That star, Naoki Nagayama?"

  Sakata Naoya smiled and said: "Hahaha, that's no longer a big client, it's like a reborn parent! You know, last year alone, our design firm earned at least 300 million!"

"Sakata, don't gossip!" Honma Takashi patted Sakata Naoya on the forehead with his notebook, and then said to Ishida Xinhai, "Naoki-san is indeed a big customer. There are times when there is a lot to be touched."

   "Teacher, I'm just a designer! If you contact customers, don't you still have a teacher and senior Sakata?" Ishida Xinhai was relatively relaxed in front of acquaintances, and there was a hint of coquettishness in his tone.

"You." Honma Takashi shook his head, Ishida Shinkai is the daughter of his family friend, and he has already seen it as a son and daughter, "In this case, the design of the holiday house next to Lake Toya is entrusted to you! "

   "Hi~" Ishida Xinhai took the information and was surprised, "Is it so big? Naoki Naoyama is really rich~"

   Naoya Sakata smiled and said, "That's right. The house we live in is also designed by us! The Yamazakura Garden in Chiyoda~"

   "Really"

  Naoki Naoyama, who was driving home, felt his nose itchy and couldn't help sneezing.

   "Caught a cold? It shouldn't be~" Naoki Naoyama touched his nose strangely, "Some guy must be scolding me behind my back!"

  In the villa located in Seyeda, Kinji Fukasaku angrily slapped the newspaper on the small table of the bed.

  I don't know why, but since the new year, my body has become weaker and weaker, and I have to stay in bed for recuperation. He thought it was due to the treatment of prostate disease, coupled with the fact that he was old and the temperature was low in winter, which caused his body to be weak.

   At this time, he was seeing a report losing his temper:

   "Akina Nakamori's performance is so classic, there will be no "Winter Romance" since then!

  There are so many love movies in winter, how could this "Love Letter" have such a big impact! There is also a new actor, isn't he just playing a different role! "

   "Naoki Naoki, this guy is really shameless! He dares to let the newspaper publish anything!"

  His wife Sanae Nakahara heard the noise and came over: "What's wrong? Being so angry is not good for your health."

   "That guy is really annoying!" Kinji Fukasaku said, "He did such a thing just to win an award!"

  "Nani?" Nakahara Sanae picked up the newspaper, glanced at the report and shook his head, "What's the matter, Fukasaku-san, when you were chasing the award before, didn't you let the reporters boast too much?"

"this"

  Kinji Fukasaku was choked and had nothing to say, so he could only stare at his wife angrily.

  What I can do does not mean that Naoki Nagayama can do it!

  Do you know what it means that only state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps!

  Also, the things I can do don't mean I can't despise Naoki Nagayama!

  Do you know what it means to be lenient to yourself and strict to others?

  In short, you are not allowed to say me!

   "What do you know, an old woman who doesn't know anything?!" Kinji Fukasaku was helpless and furious, "Give me the phone quickly, I want to call Yuyuki Tanaka!"

  Sanae Nakahara had no choice but to hold the phone on the small table on the bed.

  Kinji Fukasaku dialed Tanaka Yuyuki's number, and listened to the beeping sound from the microphone very irritatedly.

   "Moses, this is Tanaka's house." A young, soft female voice came.

   "Moshi Moshi, this is Kinji Fukasaku, is Yuyuki Tanaka here?"

   "Hi! Please wait a moment" The female voice in the microphone returned, only the sound of small steps away slowly faded away.

  Kinji Fukasaku was a little curious. Tomoyuki Tanaka's wife is also very old, and her children are all working. Could this person in his house be a babysitter? What a life.

   wait a while

   "Moses, Fukasaku-san." Tanaka Yuyuki's voice came out.

"Tanaka-san, I saw a report on "Love Letter" in the newspaper. Don't you care about such outrageous language?!" Kinji Fukasaku said directly, "This momentum, they obviously put all All of my treasures are bet on "Love Letter"!"

   "Fukasaku-san, you're talking as if the newspaper office is run by my family." Tanaka Yuyuki complained, "I care? How do I manage it?!"

  Kinji Fukasaku is a little strange. With Yuyuki Tanaka's position in the industry and Toho's relationship, how can a few reports not be suppressed?

   "Tanaka-san, what's the matter with you, you look listless, don't you want "Xi Xue" to win an award?"

  Talking about his own movie, Tanaka seems to be alive: "Of course, but "Xin Xue" is fighting for the best actress and best director award, and there is also a chance."

   "This" Fukasaku Kinji didn't understand.

  "Sayuri Yoshinaga is still capable." Tanaka Yuyuki only said this, "So there is still hope for the best actress. And the best director, Ichikawa Kun's chances are not close."

   "How? And other awards?"

  Tanaka Yuyuki said slowly: "When Fukasaku-san was chatting with Toho's senior management today, I heard a piece of news."

   "? What news?" Kinji Fukasaku knew that this news was what made Tanaka Yuyuki lose his fighting spirit.

   "They said that the representatives of the Sasakawa Foundation talked about a new idol in their own office during the chat, saying that they are very likely to win the best newcomer in the film industry this year."

   "Sasakawa Foundation?" Fukasaku Kinji thought for a while, "Kenyin? Nakamori Akina?"

   "Yes." Tanaka Yuyuki sighed, "Since the words have been released, the Sasakawa Foundation means to support Nakamori Akina!"

  Kinji Fukasaku was silent for a while.

These consortiums have always been very low-key, focused on making money, and generally do not speak out in the selection of the entertainment industry. Now that they have said it publicly this time, it means that they will use the resources of the consortium to support it, and it is also a greeting to other forces. .

   After more than a dozen seconds, Kinji Fukasaku awakened his fighting spirit again: "But Tanaka-san is just a newcomer award, and there is no support for other awards!"

"...Fukasaku-san, this is not a matter of convenience~ Besides, that Shuichi Ido has been dancing very well in the academic faction recently, and he has won a group of people to support "Love Letter", which is already quite a force. "

"I didn't say it, so there is still a chance!" Kinji Fukasaku seemed obsessed, "Tanaka-san's "Thin Snow", and this year's "Antarctic Story" and "The Strange Case of Tiancheng Mountain". There is also the famous " Narayama Festival Examination"!

  The chances of Naoki Nagayama's "Love Letter" will still be very small! You can't give up! "

  Tanaka Yuyuki was stunned for a moment: "Fukasaku-san, is Naoki Nagayama's "Love Letter" important to you?"

  Kinji Fukasaku said viciously: "Naoki Naoyama is not important, and "Love Letter" is not important, but it is very important to me that Naoki Naoyama's "Love Letter" is not awarded!!"

"." Tomoyuki Tanaka did not want to understand Fukasaku Kinji, who was a bit extreme in thinking, "Fukasaku-san, I am currently getting people to praise "Xiyuki" in the media, don't forget, let your people in Shochiku take action too! "

  "Tanaka-san, of course I will not forget what I promised." Kinji Fukasaku said, "I will find some people to criticize "Love Letter" for nothing."

  You actually want to discredit a movie promoted by the consortium? Tanaka Yuyuki thinks this guy doesn't want to be in the entertainment industry anymore

  “.You come on.”

   "You have to ask the review committee to review it carefully!" Kinji Fukasaku said, "The Japan Film and Television Producers Association is also going to say hello!"

   "Hey, I will~" Tanaka Yuyuki hung up the phone after a few perfunctory words.

Kinji Fukasaku thought about it for a while, and then called a few old friends of his disciples again, asking those who had no access to the real upper class to help discredit "Love Letter" and Naoki Nagayama, and even called Keiko Matsuzaka, his confidante. Call and ask her to help too.

  After several phone calls, my mouth was dry~

   "Mom! Pour me water! Do you want to thirst me to death?" Fukasaku Shinji shouted to the outside of the house, "Also, put the phone away!"

   After a while, the door of the room opened, and Sanae Nakahara walked over with a bowl of soup:

   "Hot water is too nutritious. The nourishing soup has already been cooked. Just drink this!"

   "It's this weird nourishing soup again?" Fukasaku Kinji wrinkled his face, "I don't want to drink it!"

   "Dad, this soup is good for your health! Have you forgotten?"

  Kinji Fukasaku recalled that every time after drinking this soup, he felt warm from the mouth to the stomach, and then the whole person would be very relaxed and sleep soundly. It is really good for the body!

   "Okay, bring it here!" Kinji Fukasaku took the bowl and began to drink in big gulps.

  Sanae Nakahara, who was next to her, slowly put the phone back in place, and then watched her husband drink up all the soup, and then smiled:

   "Father, take a good rest and your body will recover soon!"

   "Need to say?!" Fukasaku Kinji lay down and said angrily, "Go and close the door of the room, the cold wind is blowing in!"

   "Hi~"

  Nakahara Sanae gently helped Fukasaku Kinji take down the small table, tucked in the quilt, and then took the empty bowl, and slowly exited the room and closed the sliding door that had been closed before. Close it tight again~
