Tokyo Bubble Life

  Keio University, which will have the title of Asia's No. 1 private institution in the future, is a private university founded by Fukuzawa Yukichi.

   Naoki Naoyama walked in this campus full of western aesthetics, accompanied by Kuniji Morikawa from the Shogakukan, admiring the European-style red and white mansion not far away.

   "This is the university that a hot girl at the bottom of the list desperately wants to get into!"

Next to   , Morikawa Kuniji had a question mark on his face: "What did Naoki-san say?"

   "Hahaha, someone I know." Naoki Nagayama walked over with a haha, and then the two stood in front of a statue, "This is the portrait of Fukuzawa Yukichi~"

   After Fukuzawa Yukichi’s face is printed on banknotes in November this year, he will become the Fukuzawa Yukichi that everyone will love!

  Skipping it regardless, Naoki Nagayama continued to follow Kuniji Morikawa to the venue where the signing will be held.

Finally, he stopped in front of a teaching building, and there was a standing poster of Naoki Naoki's signing event at the door, with the titles of best-selling author, Naoki Award recipient, and "The Garden of Summer", "Love Letter", " Photos of books such as "Love in the Sky"

   "Naoki-san, today's autograph session is here!" Kuniji Morikawa led Naoyama Naoki to the inside, "Today, most of the students who came were Keio college students, and some came from other places."

  Naoki Naoki nodded approvingly. Although it is a bit inappropriate to turn an ordinary signing meeting into a forum lecture, but the interview outline has been prepared in advance, so there shouldn’t be any problems~

   Surely there will be no problem!

  The great hall has a large space. In addition to the host’s desk, there are several chairs and a tea table on the front podium, making it look like a tea party.

   Naoki Naoyama was going backstage to have a chat with the guests and hosts who will be interviewed today, and then he saw a familiar figure in the backstage

   "Haruki-san?" Yongshan Naoki called out in surprise, "Why are you here?"

   Haruki Murakami showed a smile on his face: "Because I saw Naoki-san's signing event, so I came to see~"

   Haruki Murakami has been traveling around for the past two years, and this year he still wants to go to the United States, but this time he came to Tokyo for some publishing matters.

  Meeting with pen pals, Naoki Nagayama is still very happy, Haruki Murakami is a very withdrawn guy, he doesn’t like lively parties, but he can also chat with friends.

  The two chatted happily about the current situation. Haruki Murakami was very curious about the history and culture of various countries, and Naoki Yongshan happened to know a little about everything, and Naoki Yongshan admired Haruki Murakami’s in-depth understanding of literature.

  When he learned that Haruki Murakami was going to live in the United States this summer, Naoki Naoyama sighed: "The life of Haruki Sang is really free and easy~"

   "Isn't Naoki-san's life wonderful?" Haruki Murakami also paid attention to the news of Naoki Naoyama, "Being more and more famous~"

   "It just always feels like a busy life." Naoki Naoyama shook his head. In fact, since the second half of last year, he seems to have become busy. Why?

ah! I have a girlfriend

  Shaking his head, to shake this strange idea out of his mind, Naoki Yongshan smiled and said, "Haruki-san, if you go to America, do you want to go to New York?"

   "Actually, I don't really want to go to that kind of international city. I want to know more about the local customs of the United States." Haruki Murakami said.

   "It's really enviable~"

   At this moment, Kuniji Morikawa came over and said, "Naoki-san, the signing will start soon."

   "Hi!" Naoki Naoyama agreed and looked at Haruki Murakami, "Are Haruki-san together?"

   "I'll do it at the bottom~" Haruki Murakami just came to meet his friends, and it's his attitude to come back as he pleases, but he doesn't mean to go on stage.

   "Okay, let's go have a drink after the autograph session is over~"

   "Haha, okay~"

  The synagogue is already full of people, of course, they are basically young people.

  Under the introduction of the host, Naoki Naoyama came out from behind the scenes, and then there was a burst of cheers: "Fujii! Fujii! Fujii, I like you!"

  “.”

  Naoki Naoki's forehead began to sweat, forgetting the fact that he is still a star, there are not only book fans but also movie fans here

   What to do, Naoki Naoyama could only wave his hand in that direction, causing another burst of exclamation.

   Naoki Naoyama seems to have seen his own fan club, Yona Kono, Shoko Fukumoto, and Akiko Tsukada, who are more familiar, looking at the fan club group around them, the scale has really expanded a lot!

   "Hahaha, Naoki-san's fans are really enthusiastic! But let's calm down first and let Naoki-san go to the seat first"

  The host worked hard to control the atmosphere of the scene, and finally got the signing meeting back on track.

   Naoki Yongshan, who was sitting on the seat, looked at the guests next to him, feeling a little embarrassed. Because he was busy chatting with friends just now, he didn't have time to communicate with the female guest.

  But this female guest with short hair has a cold face, and the one next to her has a serious face, why does she feel like she has a lot of opinions on herself? Is it because the backstage didn't say hello? You won't be so stingy, will you?

   "Naoki-san is a famous writer at a young age, and currently has three well-known best-selling novels: "Summer Garden", "Love Letter" and "Love in the Sky""

   "Next, I would like to ask Naoki-san to tell you a few words~"

   Naoki Naoyama took the microphone and began to talk about the scene:

   "Thank you for coming to my book signing today. I am really flattered that my novel can be liked by everyone."

   "The novel "Lian Kong" actually carries some of my fantasies about the future."

  Naoki Yongshan first thanked everyone for coming, and then briefly talked about the idea of ​​creating the novel. Then, the host waited until Naoki Yongshan finished speaking, and then started the follow-up questions.

"Naoki-san basically produces one novel a year, and this efficiency can be said to be very fast~" The host turned to the guests next to him, "Excuse me, Mr. Hirayama Yuru, you have published more than a dozen books, may I ask you how much you can do in a year?" Write a book?"

   ".Can't" Hirayama Yuru seemed to glance at the host in displeasure, "My books are all professional books, and they all require long-term preparation and careful data collection."

   "." The host choked for a moment, feeling that he had said something wrong, so he could only pretend to be haha, "Hahaha, publishing a book is really hard~"

   Then he turned to Naoki Nagayama: "Naoki-san, the recent movie "Love Letter" is very popular. It is adapted from your novel "Love Letter", right? You are still the director and starring role."

".Yes"

   "Then, will "The Garden of Summer" and "Love in the Sky" be adapted?" The host added, "Will you be the director... or will you act in it?"

   Naoki Naoyama smiled: "It should be. But the director may not be me, and the starring role may not be me."

  The host was curious: "Huh? Why is that?"

   "Haha, because the copyright was sold. It was sold to Dongbao~"

   "." The host paused, "Ah, so it is."

   "The copyrights of both books have been sold~~ This is a huge profit!" The host turned to Pingshan Youru, "Mr. Pingshan Youru, have you ever sold the copyrights for your book?"

   Naoki Naoyama confirmed this time, the host may be uneasy and kind.

   "This." But Hirayama Yuru still picked up the microphone, "For the sake of the academic world, I still won't answer this question~"

  The students in the audience burst into laughter~

  The host handed the microphone to the guest: "Then Mr. Hirayama Yuru, do you have anything to say to Naoki-san?"

  Hirayama Yuru first talked with Naoki Nagayama about novel creation techniques according to the discussion outline prepared before, and then talked about the current trend of best-selling novels.

   "Naoki-san, what do you think the mainstream direction of future novels should be?"

  Naoki Naoyama did not reply immediately, but instead asked: "Mr. Hirayama, do you know Shueisha Bunko?"

   "I heard that it is a story collection with illustrations, right?"

"Hi, light novels." Naoki Naoyama said, "I think this kind of 'easy-to-read novels' will definitely be read by more people in the future. This kind of entertaining popular literature and popular literature will be widely read. A favorite of young adults and teenagers."

  Hirayama Yuru asked: "You mean, people like to read this kind of picture book novels?"

"Hahaha, perhaps in the eyes of Mr. Hirayama, this is just a picture book for children, but after the young people grow up, the reading habits they develop will not change much." Naoki Naoyama laughed. , "At present, youth romance novels are the main ones, but in the future, light novels will definitely accommodate more genres, such as mystery novels, suspense novels, fantasy novels, and even science fiction."

   "Light novels will definitely become a popular trend among young people~"

   "Really? I don't believe it"

  Hirayama Yuru showed an expression like an emoji, and blurted out.

   Naoki Naoyama scratched his head: "Well, I'm only in my 20s, and this is just my superficial opinion. Everyone can just laugh it off after listening to it~"

   It seems that in order to attack Naoki Nagayama, Yuru Hirayama glanced at Naoki Nagayama:

   "Naoki-san, although you are very young, since three years ago, you have been selling novels every year, and soon won the top award in the literary circle - the Naoki Award. Do you think this is your pinnacle?"

   Naoki Naoyama thought about it for a while, and she seemed to have no problem with this question.

   "I hope it's not~" Naoki Naoyama said, "I still hope to continue to provide you with more novels."

  Hirayama Yuru went on to say: "What if the thinking is exhausted?"

   "." Yongshan Naoki was speechless, "I haven't thought about this yet."

   "Why don't you think about it now?"

  “.”

  Naoki Naoki smiled helplessly, "Then, after exhaustion of literary thinking, he should become an outdated author~

   It's almost like a past idol star or something. "

   Talking to this guest is a bit tiring~

  The host seemed to have discovered the smell of gunpowder on stage at this time: "Haha, speaking of it, Naoki-san is indeed an idol and star!"

  Then immediately turned to the audience: "Audience in the audience, what do you need to ask?"

  The host quickly found a student who raised her hand. The girl took the microphone and took a deep breath:

   "Naoki-san, I like you!!"

  The sound shook the audience, and even the teaching building seemed to shake for a while.

  The other students burst into laughter, and even the host was caught off guard. Naoki Yongshan could only thank him again and again: "Arigado. Thank you for your love. I will work harder~"

Just when the girl was about to say something like "I want to marry you and have a baby with you", the assistant at the signing event took the microphone back with all her might .

  The host had to remind again: "The next audience, please ask serious questions and don't say anything messy and irrelevant."

  But for the next question, the assistant will go directly to hold the microphone.

Another girl: "May I ask Naoki-san, the two novels "Love Letter" and "Love in the Sky" coincidentally hint at the secret love in school life. Is it based on Naoki-san's life? Naoki-san's student life Are there any such people?"

  Finally returned to the field of expertise, Naoki Naoyama smiled and said: "Yes, the person I have a crush on is Momoe Yamaguchi"

  The photographer present at the scene of "Kacha" also happened to take pictures of Naoki Naoki talking.

   "Ho Ho Ho ~" the audience booed.

   "It's a pity that Baihui-san is already married~ there is no chance~"

  The next questions are more about personal aspects, such as whether you are currently in love, the scandal with the heroine of "Love Letter", the next movie you want to make, and so on.

   Naoki Yongshan is very familiar with these questions, and answered them one by one.

   Not long after, a literary periodical newspaper published the signing discussion at Keio University, in which the popular trend of "light novels" was endorsed by many literary critics.

And in a building in Takanawa, Minato-ku, Tokyo, a girl who was pregnant with Rokko was reading a newspaper. Seeing the photo inserted in the newspaper, Naoki Naoyama said with a smile, "The person I have a crush on is Yamaguchi Momo Hui", I couldn't help laughing.

   Miura Yuka next to him looked over strangely: "What's wrong?"

  Momoe Yamaguchi smiled and showed him the newspaper: "Some people say they have a crush on me~"

   Then I saw the handsome photos in the report and the text of the report

   "Naoki Naoki!" Miura Tomokazu gritted his teeth, this guy who said he had a crush on his wife in front of the media all day long.

   "Does Baihui remember this person?"

   "I have no impression at all, he is obviously a handsome guy~" Momoe Yamaguchi showed a mischievous smile on her young face, "There are too many people who liked me before~"

  “.”

  Tomokazu Miura was a little jealous, but soon became happy again. After all, the former heartthrob has now become his wife and is pregnant with his own flesh and blood.

   "Forget it, let him go first!"

   "Haha, Naoki Nagayama is a famous director, maybe there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future." Momoe Yamaguchi said with a smile.

   "I guess there should be none~ After all, I am his rival in love~"

   "Hahaha~ also~"

  Since marrying a national idol, Miura Yukazu's career has plummeted. On the one hand, it is the displeasure of Momoe Yamaguchi's fans, and on the other hand, his own career has reached a bottleneck.

  However, he gently hugged his wife, but he didn't regret it at all.
