Tokyo Bubble Life

 The small restaurant was now filled with aroma, and the crew and staff sitting in the booths began to enjoy morning tea like real guests.

"It tastes really good!" "Why don't I feel good about this?" "Some are made by actors, and some are made by Naoki-san." "Naoki-san's cooking skills are not good~" "Huh! Naoki-san is... I come from a family of chefs and my cooking skills are extremely good!”

 Some familiar employees are educating new employees about their boss’s background.

The fact that Nagayama Naoki's father owns an izakaya family business has been deified as being from a culinary family. Coupled with the rumored gangster background, the strong contrast suddenly gave him a "yakuza" feeling. The contrasting image of "cooking husband"

“Naoki-san, why do we really have to cook?” Komori Masataka asked a little puzzled, “Some actors’ cooking skills”

"Hahaha, it's just to create the atmosphere of the scene." Naoki Nagayama said, "To play a role well, the most important thing is experience. I don't have much energy to let the actors take on the background of the character bit by bit, so I just It’s really nice to have them come.”

"Forehead"

 Ah, is this the reason why Naoki-san's movie shooting went so smoothly in the past?

　Masataka Komori seems to think that he has discovered a top-secret technique that Naoki Nagayama has not told anyone! The whole person's spirit is lifted!

 Speaking of which, when I was in Hot Blood College, I went straight to become a student! I actually went to find a haunted house during the midnight ring!

 After falling into this idea, all previous movies are moving closer to this idea.

The restaurant was lively and lively, and real customers even came to order food. A pair of young people who looked like a couple walked into the restaurant.

 “Private Marseille, is there any room available?”

 And Nagayama Naoki did not kick people out. Instead, he asked Takewaki Muga to greet the guests like a real restaurant, and asked other team members to remain normal.

“Hi, guests please come this way.”

As an experienced actor, Takewaki Muga has no flaws at all in his performance. Whether it is his enthusiastic demeanor or skillful movements, he looks like he has been working in this restaurant for several years.

Although the young man who came in was very strange, why did this old handsome store manager look so familiar and why did he feel that other customers were looking at him strangely?

 But since it’s a restaurant, as long as you can eat, it doesn’t matter!

"Please give me a cup of coffee and cappuccino; and then give her a strawberry parfait." The young man ordered something to eat, but the girl opposite him looked at the store manager next to him, becoming more and more confused. .

 “Hi, please wait a moment.”

After Takewaki Muga wrote down the menu, he bowed slightly and returned to the kitchen. He could make the coffee himself, but for the parfait,

 “Can you make smoked sauce?”

 “Ah, stupid tape!” Xiao Bilijuanxun also worked in a dessert shop, and the simple parfait was not a problem for her.

At this moment, the young couple outside were whispering: "Tell me, have you seen that store manager before? Although he is dressed very ordinary, his face looks very handsome!"

“Rena-chan, when did your taste become so strong? Uncle?” The boy was a little unhappy.

“Who said that? If you don’t believe me, take a closer look! He’s really handsome!”

 “Is he even more handsome than the handsome young man in front of you?” the boy said with a frown.

 “Pfft~cough~”

Hearing this sentence, the crew members sitting in the booth next door couldn't help laughing, and they quickly coughed to cover it up.

The boy heard this and turned his head slightly. Without saying anything more, he said to the girl opposite: "I've never seen this restaurant before. Why does it feel weird? I also saw a lot of strange equipment in the corner. , covered with black cloth."

 (The camera and stand were temporarily put away for fear of getting dirty while cooking, and some stands were placed directly in the corner.)

“Huh? What’s weird? It feels like a comprehensive restaurant~ Maybe it’s a newly opened store~”

The boy looked around again and said: "The guests here are all strangers. They are all so quiet and don't even chat. It doesn't feel like they are here to eat."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crew immediately started chatting, and the whole restaurant became lively.

ˆ “.”

The boy was shocked. There seemed to be something wrong with this restaurant!

At this moment, Takewaki Muga and Kohino Maki Kaoru brought coffee and parfait, bowed slightly and said with a smile:

 “Guests, please use it slowly~”

 Feeling the eyes of the surrounding people drifting here again, the instinct of reading the air made the young man and woman suddenly become nervous.

 “Hi, Arigado~”

 After saying that, he started to eat quickly. The man grinned because he was burned, and the woman shivered.

At the end of the day, I hurriedly handed over two big bills and ran out without even asking for change.

 “Hahaha~” “It’s so fun~”

As soon as the two left, the restaurant burst into laughter~

Nagayama Naoki came out and clapped his hands: "Okay, okay. Everyone has left and everyone has eaten~ Let's get ready and start the official shooting!"

  “Hi!” XN

Itou Shuichi, who had rested for a long time, also regained some energy and looked at the busy crew and asked:

“Naoki-san, do you want to tell the protagonists about today’s scene?”

Nagayama Naoki looked at the shooting schedule in his hand: "The first scene scheduled for today happens to be the lively restaurant scene, as well as the scenes of the employees at the front desk and the kitchen of the restaurant~"

“Yes, it needs to be divided into several shots, customers, store managers, and clerks. It must show the busy scene and the sense of the picture.” Itou Shuichi drew the storyboard on the draft paper and began to analyze.

"It looks so troublesome." Nagayama Naoki looked at the storyboard and scratched his head, "In this case, the surrounding environment will have to be redone every time. 6 ah, 7 shots, our restaurant theater Need to perform 7 times."

“It’s really difficult for everyone to concentrate every time and not make mistakes.”

Masataka Komori sighed next to him: "It's more than 7 times. Each shot may need to be shot multiple times."

 “Huh? Why?” Naoki Nagayama was a little strange.

It was only then that Masataka Komori realized that the person in front of him was Naoki Nagayama. When he was shooting, the number of NG shots was very few:

 “Ah, if it’s Naoki-san, then there’s no problem~”

On the side, Itou Shuichi seemed to feel the ridicule, but he could not say anything. He could only roll his eyes at Komori Masataka.

But the filming still had to be done, he said to Naoki Nagayama:

“Naoki-san, let’s talk to the actors about the scenes one by one. Rehearsing in advance should reduce the possibility of NG.”

“Well” Nagayama Naoki looked at the storyboard and compared it with the picture in his mind, “I think it’s better to use one shot.”

“One shot to the end?” Komori Masataka and Itou Shuiyi looked at each other, and they both began to think, “Isn’t the one shot to the end used more often in documentaries?”

Nagayama Naoki continued:

"Shuichi-san, do you still remember the last duel we had in "Hot Blood High School"? Wasn't there a big melee scene, or was it shot in one shot?"

"Are you talking about the scene of two gangs fighting each other?" Yi Tangxiu nodded, "But at that time, it was one scene. We only needed to show the scene of fighting each other and change the camera. This time, there are 7 scenes!"

Nagayama Naoki finished recalling the scenes in his mind and smiled: "So what if there are many scenes? The audience only has one pair of eyes. We only need to follow the protagonist and use the first-person perspective of the game."

"First-person perspective?" Itou Shuichi murmured to himself, "Isn't that a term in literature? Why is it related to games?"

"ah!"

 Naoki Nagayama finally realized that in this era there were not even big-screen visual games, and no one knew the difference between first-person perspective and God's perspective.

So he could only explain: "Just treat the camera as an audience. In short, just wait for me to design a route, and then shoot according to this trajectory!"

“The rest of the actors are just like the normal opening of the restaurant before! It’s already very much like a normal restaurant. There are only a few dedicated actors who need to start performing according to the timing.”

After hearing what Nagayama Naoki said, Itou Shuichi and Komori Masataka didn't say much, just waiting to see what method he would use to start.

  The crew and props, along with Naoki Nagayama, designed the camera route along the kitchen's movement line, while Kijima Kyun, who was in charge of the camera, listened to his special instructions:

“Kijima-kun, when you turn here, the height of the camera should be raised to see the panoramic view of the kitchen.”

"Hi!"

“At this time, the actors in the kitchen need to show a lively atmosphere. Yoshida!” Naoki Nagayama looked back at another part-time supporting actor, “It doesn’t matter if you act clumsy at this time!”

 “Hey!” the young actor replied immediately.

 The trajectory of the camera continues to change, coming out of the kitchen: "The waiter appears now!"

"Hi!"

 Continue walking along the aisle towards the front hall:

 “This is when Xunjiang appears.”

 After the preliminary explanation was completed, Naoki Nagayama asked the assistant director Masataka Komori and the actors to rehearse several times before starting the actual shooting.

 In the bright sunshine, the camera followed the heroine Tangerine into this busy restaurant:

After opening the small door of the kitchen, in the bustling back kitchen, a young female clerk ran nimbly to greet the customers.

  The newly promoted part-time chef clumsily burnt the bread slices and was asked by the chef to wash the dishes.

  The heroine made a tropical parfait and put it on a tray and sent it to the front room.

The front hall, which was almost full of guests, was bustling with people, and it looked like business was booming.

 The shots were connected one by one by Naoki Nagayama. A total of 7 shots were condensed into one shot. This is one shot to the end!

Komori Masataka was arranging the actors’ positions while writing down such superb operations. Looking at this scene, Itou Shuichi could only sigh silently in his heart:

 “Zhi Shu-san, it’s really you!”

　What was originally expected to take a whole day of shooting was actually condensed into two hours and completed! No wonder other movies can be shot so quickly.

 After filming the initial impression of this restaurant, Naoki Nagayama asked the crew members to take a short break, and he and Yuichi Itou arranged the next shooting process together.

“There are a lot of scenes in the restaurant. Are Xiu Yisang and other actors in place?”

“I didn’t expect the filming to happen so quickly, so if you haven’t arrived yet, it shouldn’t be too late to inform you now.” Itou Kyūichi signaled Komori Masataka to call the remaining staff in the studio and ask them to notify the extras.

Not long after Komori Masataka went to the nearby office to make a phone call, he hurried over:

 “Zhi Shu-san, Otomo-san is looking for you urgently.”

"?Find me?"

Nagayama Naoki walked over strangely, and then came back after a while with a heavy face.

Itou Shuichi asked with concern: "Naoki-san, what's wrong?"

“There seems to be something wrong with the KTV in Harajuku. Shigeru Araki called me at the studio.” Naoki Nagayama didn’t hide it from Itou Shuichi, “I didn’t say what the problem was on the phone, but it should be quite urgent.”

“Since I called Naoki-san, it must have happened temporarily.” Yi Tangxiu nodded.

“Shuichi-san, it looks like I can’t continue to help in the afternoon.” Naoki Nagayama said, “I’m going to Harajuku to take a look.”

“Hey, Damn Tape, anyway, I’ve recovered a lot in the morning.” Itou Shuichi naturally wouldn’t stop him, “Naoki-san, be careful~”

"Hi!"

After nodding with Masataka Komori and Kyū Kijima, and saying hello to Muga Takewaki and Maki Kaoru Kohira, Naoki Nagayama drove a convertible and sped away in the direction of Harajuku.

Outside the three-story building at the corner of Harajuku, a police car was parked outside. Several uniformed policemen were in a bar-like hall, arresting several young men and women who had killed Matt. Shigechi Araki was talking to the police. What are they explaining.

After Naoki Nagayama arrived, the foreman Tetsuhiro Kurita greeted him.

"Naoki-san, you are finally here~" "Kurita-kun, what happened?" Nagayama Naoki naturally wanted to ask clearly first.

“Those young people came here in the morning.” Tetsuhiro Kurita pointed at the arrested people and said, “Although it’s a bit strange, we still opened a box.”

“However, after waiting for a while, a policeman suddenly stopped at the door of KTV and said that he had received a report that someone was smoking contraband in our store.”

"?" Nagayama Naoki was speechless, "Did they get high and call the police themselves?"

“We don’t know what happened,” Kurita Tetsuhiro quickly explained, “but they actually said that the contraband was obtained from our store, so the police are still questioning the manager.”

  “.Such a crude accusation.”

Nagayama Naoki immediately understood that someone was going to cause trouble against KTV. However, was the method so mean?

Shaking his head, he walked up to Shigechi Araki who was being interrogated by the police: "How are you doing, Shigechi-san?"

Araki Shigetomo said: "Police-san still has some questions and is asking some questions."

The police officer who looked like a police officer looked over and asked angrily: "Who are you? What do you have to do with this store?"

“I am the owner of this KTV.” Nagayama Naoki did not hide anything, “This Shigechi-san is the store manager I hired.”

"So you are the boss!" The police officer didn't seem to care much about the entertainment industry, or he might have deliberately not recognized Naoki Nagayama. He said angrily, "KTV allows others to smoke contraband. Please follow us to the police station to assist in the investigation. !”

 As he spoke, he also wanted to ask his subordinates to give him a pair of silver bracelets.

Is this guy also a part of this frame-up? ! Naoki Nagayama thought silently.

After hearing this, the KTV clerks were a little anxious for a while and gathered around him.

Having spent such a long time with the old members of the Yongshan Group, they have become more or less tainted with the underworld style. When my boss is in trouble, he feels like he is going to fight for a while.

"What are you doing! Are you going to attack the police?!" Several other police officers became nervous instantly, "Back off, back off!"

The store clerks were a little at a loss for a while. They were not members of the society. They just wanted to support the boss, but they didn’t want to confront the police!

Nagayama Naoki reacted and quickly waved his hand to ask the clerks to step back, which relieved their initial anxiety.

Then he added to the police station in front of him:

“Police officer, my name is Naoki Nagayama, what is my name?”

The police officer who was a little cautious looked at the shop assistants around him and felt a little pressure, but he still said sternly:

 “I am Narcotics Countermeasures Room, Narcotics Investigator Yoshio Takamatsu!”

“Someone was found smoking contraband in the property under your name. The KTV is suspected of being involved in the contraband trade, so you need to cooperate with our investigation!”

Looking at the police officer's very upright expression, Nagayama Naoki removed his suspicion.

"Investigator Takamatsu, I can guarantee that our KTV does not deal in contraband. We are a legitimate business." Nagayama Naoki wanted to explain.

“You can talk about this in the police station!”

 Takamatsu Yoshio looks selfless. He has no good impression of the operators of these nightclubs. These places are places where filth breeds.

ˆ “.”

  Sigh. Originally I just wanted to explain to you as an ordinary person, but in exchange I just became distant. Forget it, I won’t pretend anymore. I am a big star, let’s show off!

"Ahem, this police officer, I am Naoki Nagayama, a big star!" Naoki Nagayama felt that it was a bit shameful to boast like this. "If you take me back like this, it will create a bad impression!"

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　?)

Takamatsu Yoshio showed doubts in his eyes. At this time, a policeman came up to him and talked a lot before he reacted.

“What about celebrities? Public figures are involved in contraband and should be severely punished.”

Nagayama Naoki smiled and pointed at a few young men squatting in the corner: "However, based on the experience of Officer Takamatsu, it should be found that these guys are clearly here to throw dirty water on you. And they also hurt you. Officer Takamatsu is acting like a stupid monkey."

Takamatsu Yoshio's face tightened. He really felt that he was being used as a gun by criminals.

"When our KTV opened, hundreds of police officers came, and Section 4 Chief Nam Junxiong also came." Nagayama Naoki continued to pull the tiger's skin: "It stands to reason that the guys nearby should not dare to come and do this. What's going on, what's going on today?"

"? Section Chief Nam Toshio?" Takamatsu Yoshio obviously knew this name, and he became a little cautious.

"Yeah." Nagayama Naoki nodded and looked at Takamatsu Yoshio, "Officer Takamatsu, can you let me ask them who sent you here?"

"You?" Takamatsu Yoshio said disdainfully, "Will they listen to what you say?"

 “I have a kind face~” Nagayama Naoki showed a bright smile.

 Takamatsu Yoshio did not answer, but stepped aside.

Nagayama Naoki slowly walked up to the guy with yellow hair who looked like the leader. He looked like he was not yet an adult, and his expression was very unflattering.

"Hey, Huang Mao." This title made Nagayama Naoki feel a little strange, "Can you tell me who asked you to come?"

"Who do you think you are? You're a fool!" the spirited young man said arrogantly, "It's a big deal to have a relationship with the police! I'm still underage, and I'll be out in a few days!"

What a stubborn young man. Nagayama Naoki sighed, just in time to see Nagayama Kaede coming back with a few brothers. He walked in from the door, but was stopped by the police. After all, the tattoos on the upper bodies of several club elders really didn't look like that. Is a good person.

Naoki Nagayama pointed at Hamasaki Shogo at the door and said, "Did you see that person?"

 “How?!” Huang Mao glanced at it and shrank his eyes.

"Perhaps the person who asked you here didn't tell you." Nagayama Naoki lowered his voice, "We are the property of the Yamaguchi-gumi here! The police can't do anything to you, that person won't be polite!"

 Huang Mao glanced at the fierce-looking Hamasaki Shogo, and several strong men next to him took a gulp of saliva.

“That guy’s name is Hamasaki Shogo, and he is the younger brother of the Yamaguchi-gumi team.” Nagayama Naoki laughed evilly, “I especially like brightly colored little boys like you.”

Huang Mao's body trembled, and several young people around him also opened their eyes wide. They have been on the streets for a long time, and they naturally know what "like" means.

Seeing that several people were getting nervous, Nagayama Naoki said: "They don't know yet that you were assigned by others. If you tell me, I don't have to tell them~"

 “This” Huang Mao was obviously shaken.

"Tell me quietly, you are going to the police station anyway. When you come out, the guys who assigned you later may no longer exist~" Naoki Nagayama threatened again, "You know, the Yamaguchi-gumi always retaliates with tooth for tooth! Of course, it’s okay if you want to be a hero~”

"No, no. I don't want to go against the Yamaguchi-gumi!" Huang Mao shouted in a low voice, "The person who sent me was Naohisa Hiramatsu from the Ishii Kai! He said that the KTV should be closed for a period of time!"

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　?)

What could Ishii be? Nagayama Naoki didn't understand, but since he asked, he stopped playing with the children. It was too unchallenging~

 “Okay~”

Stand up and walk towards the police, but Huang Mao behind him is still shouting: "Don't let that guy Hamasaki Shogo come over!"

Hamazaki Shogo had just entered the door with a question mark on his head.

“Hey, Inspector Takamatsu Yoshio, you should have heard that someone framed him.” Nagayama Naoki said to Takamatsu Yoshio.

“Hmph!” Takamatsu Yoshio glanced at Nagayama Naoki, “I can still ask you to cooperate with the investigation!”

"Yes, yes, of course~" Naoki Nagayama nodded, "But we all know this is meaningless, right? Even if I walk into the police station, there will soon be a lawyer wearing a suit and ties to bail me out. .

Even if you don’t want to, there might be a guy who is also wearing a police uniform but has a police rank a few ranks higher than you and orders you to let me go immediately.”

 Takamatsu Yoshio stared at Naoki Nagayama again, as if he was looking at some scum who colluded with power and money. He knew that there was indeed such a person in Japan.

Especially if you meet the nationality of a beautiful country, you will be treated like a super first-class citizen and will be sent out respectfully~

"Haha, Officer Takamatsu, it's just a joke." Naoki Nagayama laughed, "You also know that I was wronged, so we should find the real mastermind!"

 “It’s best that you were wronged!” Takamatsu Yoshio finally left with his men and a few killers.

"Naoki, what happened?" After the police had left, Yongshan Feng walked up to him.

“Someone just framed us for being involved in contraband trading.” Nagayama Naoki said, “Is it so fast to recruit outside the market?”

"who?"

Hongshan Kaede was equally surprised. Yamaguchi-gumi had already said hello here!

“A person from the Ishii Association, his name is Hiramatsu Naohisa.” Naoki Nagayama said.

"Oh?" Brother Feng's eyes flashed, "Now that you know the name, leave it to me! I want to see who it is!"

“Brother Feng, it’s best not to fight.” Nagayama Naoki said, “We are a legitimate business, and chain KTVs may also encounter this kind of thing in the future.”

“Yes, I understand!” Nagayama Kaede nodded, turned to Hamasaki Shogo and gave instructions.

 Here, Nagayama Naoki spoke to Araki Shigechi:

“Maozhisang, it seems that our management is not in place. People have brought in contraband.”

 "Smith Marseille! It's my fault~" Shigechi Araki bowed deeply and apologized, "I promise that I will patrol more strictly in the future!"

“Well, except for this.” Nagayama Naoki thought for a moment, “Let’s see if we can find some drug-detection dogs!”

“Drug detection dogs?” Shigechi Araki said in surprise, “They should all be under the jurisdiction of the National Police Agency!”

“There are always ways to deal with those whose training ground is not up to standard, those who are retired, and those from abroad.” Naoki Nagayama patted Shigemo Araki on the shoulder, “We are not customs, and our guests do not hide themselves so tightly.”

 “Hey, I got it!”

After talking a few more words about daily management, after Araki Shigetomo walked away, Nagayama Naoki and Nagayama Kaede opened a private room together, and while drinking, they analyzed the cause of the accident.

"Wouldn't it be faster to just go to the door to collect the protection fee? Why is it so troublesome and still frame the blame?" Yongshan Feng was a little confused. This was different from the general underworld.

“Brother Feng, do you think there are other groups that have taken a fancy to our KTV?” Nagayama Naoki said, “So they first put the blame on us to prevent us from continuing to operate, and then took the opportunity to acquire it?”

“So we are trying to seize the industry? But this method is too inferior! The effect is also very poor!”

“You don’t know what life is like for those small business owners.” Naoki Nagayama smiled, “Most of the cash flow cannot last more than three months!”

“As long as your business is closed due to one thing or another, you will soon be unable to make ends meet. Then, someone will be very enthusiastic to introduce you to a lending institution.”

Then the interest will compound and the interest will compound, and eventually the store will be mortgaged.

 But there is only one thing: the assets obtained in this way are legal! It’s different from protection fees!

Yong Shanfeng drank the wine in his hand angrily:

 “I must find this guy!”
