Tokyo Bubble Life

 Chapter 701 709, this is a lucky firework~

 Escaped from the harassment of reporters, Naoki Nagayama was able to concentrate on preparing for the shooting.

At this moment, Kijima Kyor brought over a few guys who were dressed sloppily. As soon as they came over, they bowed to him and shouted:

 “Naoki Aniki!”

"Um?"

Nagayama Naoki looked over. These should be the gangsters who will appear today to manage the summer festival. But why would they call me boss?

 “You are” a few people who look familiar.

“We are under Brother Feng!” said the leading gangster, “My name is Nishi Shuto, and they are Sakata, Obara, and Kakuda.”

 “Ah, it’s you.”

Nagayama Naoki remembered that when his cousin Kaede Nagayama finished filming "High School", he established an artist management agency and recruited a group of bad gangsters in society as his subordinates.

These guys also played background roles in "High School"!

"Hi! Shuyou's agent sent the invitation, and we immediately agreed!" Xi Xiudou nodded and said, "It is our honor to be able to participate in Naoki's boss's movie again."

“Hahaha, it’s my honor for you to come, and you should try your best in the future!”

"Hi!"

 After a lot of encouragement, a few people were asked to prepare for the shooting. Naoki Nagayama curiously asked Kijima Kyor:

“Kijima-kun, Brother Kaede’s Nagayama Agency is actually still in business?”

He always thought that after Yongshan Feng focused on KTV, the leather bag company used to enter the entertainment industry had been discontinued.

“Hi, the business is going pretty well. Currently, most of the artists under this agency play young, delinquent, and extreme characters, and they have already gained some reputation in the entertainment industry.” Kijima Kyor explained.

 “Oh ho~~”

Nowadays, there are more and more yakuza movies in the entertainment industry. It is really an unexpected surprise that this small agency has developed so tenaciously.

 After a few more words, the filming of the movie will officially begin.

This part of the plot is about Kikujiro taking Masao to the Summer Festival. Because of his nonsensical behavior, he angered the gangsters who managed the event and was severely beaten. In the end, Masao bought him medicine~

"Bei Ye-san, remember not to be too aggressive! When you ask for a bear at the stall, be coquettish! Be coquettish!"

Naoki Nagayama reminded Takeshi Kitano during the filming that he was a little impatient today and his tone was a little heavy when acting.

Then he shouted towards Takei Takehiko:

“Takei-san, you have to deal with the trouble you cause by yourself! Keep the audience out of the set!!”

 Takei Takehiko could only lead two people and began to persuade the onlookers in a good voice.

The tourists who came here were originally just here to visit the summer festival, but they actually heard that someone was going to shoot a movie here, and it was the famous director Naoki Nagayama!

 Suddenly interested, many tourists came outside the studio with their children and began to watch the filming of the movie.

 In normal times, neon people would also watch the excitement, but at that time it was either daytime, they had something to do, or they were afraid of causing trouble to others. In short, there is a limit of what is enough.

But today, I came to the Summer Festival just to join in the fun!

Who can say that film shooting is not a special theme event held by the organizer! !

 It’s okay to look at it~

 As a result, a group of spectators gathered at the filming site.

“Kitano-san, you are a professional actor, don’t worry about irrelevant people!” Nagayama Naoki reminded Kitano Takeshi to adjust his mentality. After he signaled that it was okay, he shouted through the loudspeaker,

 “Get to your positions! Prepare! Action!”

 8pm, Yokohama City.

　　　Nakamori Akina, who had worked so hard to finish the concert, didn’t immediately want to go back to the hotel for the first time in a long time.

 “Fang Nori-san, is there anything fun to do in Yokohama at night?”

Although Nakamori Akina, who was sitting in the back of the car, was a little tired, she was still a young man who was curious about the new city after all, so she asked Akina about the rules of the house.

"night?"

　In this era, there is basically no nightlife in the neon small cities. Currently, only Tokyo can meet this standard of the so-called city that never sleeps.

Except for big cities such as Tokyo, Kyoto, and Nagoya, in most cities after midnight, there is only the light of street lights in the urban area.

However, Yokohama can be considered a big city in the Tokyo metropolitan area. At least before midnight, there are still lively places.

“At night, there are many bars and nightclubs at Yokohama Port and there are many foreigners.” Akikofusa recalled the previous memory, “The Yokohama Marine Tower can overlook the night view of the entire Yokohama Port. If you are lucky, there is a restaurant on the Hikawa Maru next to it.”

“Then if you want to go shopping, there are many foreign shops in Motomachi Shopping Street.”

Listening to Akiko Fubo talking about one place after another, Akina Nakamori looked at the sliding scenery outside the window, her thoughts a little scattered. Naoki-san should be filming now?

"Akina-chan?" Maki Ueda, who was standing next to her, came over with a smile and asked, "Why do you want to go out for a walk today? Didn't you always go back to the hotel to rest right after the concert? By the way, I had a phone call with Naoki-san. Of?"

Nakamori Akina's face turned red. Naturally, the secret of her phone call with Naoki Nagayama could not be hidden from the team, at least the phone bill for the next day could not be hidden. Now this is an open secret in the team.

“Naoki-san has to shoot a night scene today, so I can’t make a phone call.”

 Akina Nakamori explained a little bit,

“I’m not very tired after today’s concert, so I thought of going out for a walk.”

Akikofusa in the front row sighed inwardly, he is indeed an energetic young man!

 “So where does Akina want to go?”

“Let’s go to the Yokohama Marine Tower and take a look around the port area next to it.”

Although you can't go to bars to drink, you can go check out other nightclubs if you see them. There are many foreigners in the port area, and there must be many foreign shops~

 “Hey, then I’ll change direction~”

Akiko had been to Yokohama before, so he didn’t even need to look at the map and drove directly towards the ocean tower that could be seen now. The light of the lighthouse was very obvious.

 After arriving near the port area, a few people got out of the car and started walking around the streets.

Bars and cafes that can be seen everywhere are the characteristics of the port area. Even at night, the brightly lit glass windows and the pedestrians walking through the streets can illustrate the prosperity here.

Since the opening of Yokohama Port, countless foreigners and foreign goods have flocked to Yokohama Port, making Yokohama one of the most prosperous port cities in Tokyo Bay.

 “Mingcai Jiang, the lighthouse has arrived.”

Ming Xingfang led the two of them to the Yokohama Marine Tower. In addition to being a lighthouse, this tower itself is also an observation deck of Yokohama. The special ten-sided viewing window allows it to completely overlook the night view of the entire Yokohama Port.

After paying the fee, Akina Nakamori and others took the elevator to the top floor and looked at the port area below through the glass.

In the dark night, the bustling shopping streets are particularly eye-catching. The densely packed signboards and shops, coupled with street lights, form several long light strips, and pedestrians walking around can be vaguely seen.

Through the Yokohama Port area, the lights in the distance are like stars in the sky, reminding you that there are still people who have not fallen asleep. Occasionally, there are cars driving at night out of Yokohama, dragging their red taillights and driving towards other surrounding cities. If you look far away, in addition to the dark night, you can also see the blurry scenes of other cities.

Suddenly, there seemed to be colorful light spots flashing in a certain direction. It was like fleeting colorful bubbles~

“Maki-chan, is that Hanabi?” Akina Nakamori asked, pointing to the southwest.

"Huh? Where?" Ueda Maki looked over, but could only see small flickering five-color light spots, "Really! The fireworks are so far away!"

 “So small, so cute. It’s the first time I’ve seen such small fireworks!”

 Nakamori Akina's heart moved:

“Fang Zesang, which direction is that?”

Akiko Fusa also looked over and thought about it based on the address of Yokohama: "It's Kanagawa Prefecture!"

"Kanagawa~" Nakamori Akina seemed to have a feeling in her heart, "Naoki-san is right there!"

Ming Xingfang gathered his hands next to his eyes:

“I’m really lucky. The distance is almost 20 kilometers! If it hadn’t been at night, if the weather hadn’t been good, and if we hadn’t been on such a high Yokohama Marine Tower, we definitely wouldn’t have been able to see the fireworks!”

 “Haha, that’s right~”

 Nakamori Akina showed a bright smile,

 “This is a lucky firework!”

Nagayama Naoki was very annoyed by the crowd of onlookers. Except for the scene where he was beaten in a relatively hidden place, during the rest of the filming, he was surrounded by a circle of spectators.

 But there is no good method, and the crew does not have the power to enforce the law. They don't do anything too excessive, they are just joining in the fun to take a look.

However, the reporters who came to interview were very happy. From time to time, they would interview a few audience members. What do you think of the crew? Do you know Naoki Nagayama/Takeshi Kitano/Yuko Tanaka? Do you want to go see the movie when it is released?

With all kinds of issues, I think I can publish a rich press release tomorrow.

“Kijima-kun, aren’t they tired?” Naoki Nagayama looked at the audience around him and sighed, “We have been filming for more than three hours and it’s almost late at night. Why don’t you go home and sleep?”

“It may be that the entertainment activities in small places are relatively poor, so they are reluctant to leave.” Kijima thought for a moment and replied.

　　“This is totally amusement to our crew!”

At this time, Tanaka Yuko, who had been playing in the summer festival, came back and brought a takoyaki specially for Naoki Nagayama. After hearing Naoki Nagayama’s troubles, he said:

“Naoki-san, that’s because the summer festival isn’t over yet!”

"Um?"

“Look, because it’s a filming set, all the vendors and shops are still open and brightly lit. Also, the Summer Festival hasn’t finished yet, so tourists naturally won’t leave.”

 “End the show?”

“Yeah, there usually are some parades, singing, or fireworks, etc.?” Tanaka Yuko said matter-of-factly, “When that’s over, everyone will know that the Summer Festival is over, and they’ll leave.”

After hearing these words, Nagayama Naoki looked at Takei Takehiko:

“Takei-san, have you bought any fireworks for our summer festival?”

"Ah! Fireworks! Of course there are!" Takeihiko said immediately, "Everything is prepared according to the most authentic summer festival!"

"." Seeing Takei Takehiko's still very proud look, Nagayama Naoki shook his head, "Then what are you waiting for? Go and let it go!"

Takehiko Takei confirmed: "Now?"

"Right now!"

 “Hi! I’ll get ready right away! About ten minutes.”

After Takei Takehiko left, Nagayama Naoki said to Kijima Kyor: "Kijima-kun, it just so happens that we have to shoot the dance of two tengu in the yard next.

Go and spread the news among the crowd that this is the last program of the Summer Festival - ask the Tengu to pray, and when the Tengu brings the fireworks, the Summer Festival will be over! "

 “Hey!” Kijima Xu seemed to have some ideas, but he still went ahead with it honestly.

Tanaka Yuko laughed from the side and said: "Haha, Naoki-san is really good at making things up!"

 “This is called adapting to changing circumstances!”

Nagayama Naoki waved his hand, signaling the rest of the crew to get ready before starting the movie.

When the two actors in weird Tengu costumes actually danced in front of the big tree with a rope tied to the shrine in front of the temple, the crowd of people watching knew that this was the last performance - the Tengu prayed, even though they couldn't understand what was going on. No matter what the meaning, I still appreciate it very seriously.

After the weird blessing dance performance for a while, the audience at the former Bird Shrine heard a whistling sound, and then fireworks began to explode in the sky, colorful and colorful, suddenly lighting up in the night sky. It burst out with the most brilliant colors, then suddenly went out quietly, being robbed of its brilliance by another firework.

 The sudden burst of fireworks drew cheers from the children.

 The colorful fireworks reflected on the faces of the audience who raised their heads, and seemed to shine into their eyes, as if the Tengu were really praying for blessings.

 “It’s so beautiful~” “It’s so beautiful~”

 “We will be blessed again this year!” “Tengu prays for good luck and fireworks!”

Housins ​​of praise came from everyone, and everyone was praising such beautiful fireworks.

 After the fireworks ended, the tourists seemed to really think that the summer festival was over and began to leave in a hurry~

At this moment Naoki Nagayama, who was also watching this scene, was silently keeping track of the time until the last firework went out~

 “Five minutes! Five whole minutes!!”

Every minute of fireworks is worth money!

Originally, Nagayama Naoki would not care about the money, if he had planned to spend it himself. But this is obviously an unnecessary expense!

This summer festival is equivalent to Shuyu Pictures using its own money to organize a celebration for the locals of Hiratsuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture, and a fireworks show by the way.

The key is that the city government and the shrine itself organize such activities, either with subsidies or sponsorships. Naoki Nagayama is really doing it for charity!

"This money"

Nagayama Naoki just wanted to ask Takei Takehiko to pay it all, but he couldn't bear it. After all, it was not a small amount. Takei Takehiko, a wage earner, might have to bleed a lot.

So I thought ferociously:

“This year’s year-end award, Takei Takehiko must have the lowest rating!”

  turned to look at the crew. They were still discussing the fireworks just now. Everyone had happy smiles on their faces. It’s true that people who don’t know are the happiest people!

 But these guys’ happiness is all based on my money!

 Capped his hands to attract everyone’s attention:

 “Mina-san, I’ve finished watching the fireworks, and I’m back to work!”

“We have to shoot the last scene today! The scene of the summer festival ending, and the scene of Masao buying medicine for Kikujiro!”

 “Act quickly! We will try to get off work before the early morning!!”

  “Hi~~~”XN
