Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 990 Chapter 999, Grandfather is only relieved! !

This time I went back to Shizuoka for a relatively short time, and it felt like my wedding day had just passed.

Shimizu is a small town, and the rumor that a grandson of the Nagayama group held a lavish wedding banquet in a luxury hotel some time ago is still spreading among izakayas and housewives' afternoon tea.

Some even swore that a monk who had originally become a monk was attracted by the luxurious scene and could not help but break his vows and leave the temple, but was caught by the abbot and the warrior monks who protected the temple.

In short, Naoki Nagayama's story is expected to be one of the biggest topics of discussion among villagers during the New Year.

When Naoki Nagayama came to the ancestral home again, he felt that the place was much less popular, and even the younger brothers standing guard had been replaced by older people.

"Grandfather, why do I feel like there are fewer people?"

While chatting with his grandfather, he directed Masataka Komori and others to adjust the projector in the living room. An old wooden house from the Taisho period like this has a large roof and the room is very dark inside. After turning off the lights, you can see clearly without even closing the doors and windows.

"It's the end of the year, Xiong Yuan needs to collect the debt~"

My grandfather, Nagayama Hayato, said it lightly, as if it was a very common thing.

The Nagayama Group is the largest organization in Shizuoka, but it is impossible for them to manage the entire prefecture, so naturally they have subordinate organizations. However, the collection of Yakuza debts every year is always not peaceful, and I don't know how much conflict and bloodshed there will be.

Otherwise, why would we need to reduce manpower?

"Oh~~~"

Naoki Nagayama sighed and didn't say anything else. His uncle Nagayama Kumahara was determined to inherit the Yakuza business, and even his grandfather couldn't persuade him. Maybe deep down in his heart, his grandfather also wanted to pass on the Nagayama Group that he had run for a lifetime. Who knows~

Thinking of this, he did not dwell on it too much, but instead talked about what happened this time:

"Grandfather, please take a look at the edited sample first. If you have any objections, please tell me."

"Then at the end, we will also shoot a clip of you, my grandfather, at the end to make it more realistic."

My grandfather was a little surprised after hearing this. It was okay for him to watch the movie in advance, but he had to take a trailer at the end?

"Naoki, are you saying I want to act too?"

"No, grandfather doesn't need to act," Naoki Nagayama said, "I just want to take a picture of the image."

"So are you going to say that line?" At this moment, my grandfather was a bit like a child encountering something new, excited and a little curious.

"Haha, originally there's no need to do that, but if Grandfather thinks of anything, you can tell him~"

"I know~"

After realizing this, Nagayama Hayato became quiet and stared at the screen. It was unclear whether he was thinking about the movie or the lines that would follow.

When writing the script for the movie "Hayato: New World", Naoki Nagayama referred to many later movies. During the filming, he even used his cousin Nagayama Kaede, who looked a bit like his grandfather, and invited the martial arts instructor of the Cheng family team for the fight scenes.

It can be said that the whole movie has a good plot, conflicts, smooth narrative, clear rhythm, exciting fighting scenes, and the editing process is very painstaking, ensuring that there is a small climax every once in a while.

This is a masterpiece that combines American blood films, Korean gangster films, Hong Kong spy films and finally Japanese drama films!

There was absolutely no peeing moment in the entire hour and a half!

Ahem, if I keep praising Naoki Nagayama, I'll feel embarrassed~

After Komori Masataka finally adjusted it, as the projector started to run, a beam of light containing countless colors suddenly brought the picture back to the early Showa era.

In the steamy train station, the young policeman was anxiously waiting for something.

"Yo~ Baka Aibo!!!"

Half Japanese and half English, a strange but very contagious voice, a chic and unique call coming from the steam mist~

"You're doing pretty well, now you're wearing a police uniform!"

"."

When my grandfather Nagayama Hayato saw Nagayama Kaede appear, he felt as if his younger self appeared in the movie.

In addition to the fact that Nagayama Kaede himself resembled him somewhat, the half-worn kimono he wore looked just like what Nagayama Hayato described, the best piece of clothing that his simple and early deceased mother had made for him.

For a moment, my grandfather's eyes even felt a little sore.

The youthful splendor is gone like smoke in the wind, but it always leaves behind unforgettable memories~

Although it was slightly different from his own experience, Nagayama Hayato still seemed to see his younger self. He excitedly rushed to the unfamiliar Tokyo and was curious about everything.

The bustling city, the dazzling array of goods, the complex streets, the fashionable city girls, everything is so fresh and so desirable.

At that time, he was full of ambition and fearless, and just wanted to make a name for himself in Tokyo!

So, he started from the streets, joined gangs, made friends with younger brothers, expanded his territory, and swallowed up his opponents. With his strong body and a mind that was a little more flexible than other Yakuza, he soon achieved considerable results.

"I've finished speaking. Who agrees? Who disagrees?!"

When Nagayama Kaede in the movie spoke these domineering lines to many gang leaders, Nagayama Hayato, who was watching below, muttered:

"There's no such thing as that. There wasn't the time. At that time, I was so anxious and excited that I just rushed in and killed everyone else."

But his eyes were fixed on the screen, and he was full of envy when he saw his grandson's domineering image.

"How can it be repaired?"

He really wished that he hadn't killed the enemy so quickly and said this to their faces!

Why do young people become Yakuza? On the one hand, it is to make a living, and on the other hand, it is naturally for prestige!

Now that Nagayama Hayato has achieved success, his mentality has become younger and younger.

As the movie progresses, and the story progresses to the point where the police friend and the Yakuza informant turn against each other, after Nagayama Hayato, played by Nagayama Kaede, is besieged by the enemy, his grandfather's hands gradually clench.

The slightly famous club he founded was also strangled by the enemy clubs and the black gloves of the upper class in Tokyo and experienced a bloody battle. It was also because of this reason that he realized that he was still not capable of playing such a power game in Tokyo, and finally left Tokyo in disgrace.

If the grandfather returned to Shizuoka because he was shocked, then the story of Hayato Nagayama in the movie is a completely beautified version!

Fight your way through the underground parking lot, and fight ten enemies in a narrow elevator.

“Kill!” “Come here!” “You bastards!” “Coward!” “Roar!!”

Amid the roars, every blow of the sword drew blood and every cry was a fight for life!

A one-on-ten resistance, a bloody elevator, corpses everywhere, and a Nagayama Hayato who was already conscious but still refused to give up.

The police officers who rushed over to clean the floor were all amazed, and Tomokazu Miura, who played the police officer's friend, couldn't believe his eyes!

The revenge that followed was even more like a cool novel. After recovering from his wounds, Nagayama Hayato killed his enemy with his own hands, handed the evidence in his hands to his police friend, and brought down the upper-class politicians.

But in the end, he still chose to return to his hometown in Shizuoka. His behavior offended both the upper class and the yakuza, and Tokyo could no longer accommodate him!

"I've been here, and I'm leaving! Haha~ Tokyo is still very fun~"

"."

At the end of the film, there is a figure that gradually disappears in the diffuse fog.

When the light from the projector disappeared, the whole living room fell into darkness and silence for a long time.

It was not until Naoki Nagayama turned on the lights that the ancestral house came alive. There was even loud applause.

I don’t know when, the younger brothers who stayed behind in the ancestral home also gathered together and watched the movie silently!

"Siguoyi!" "Boss Hayato was so brave when he was young!" "So handsome!" "The clubs in Tokyo are so abominable!" "We should take revenge!" "They are all gone." "."

Various discussions broke out, making the originally quiet living room feel like a movie theater.

Finally, my grandfather couldn't stand it anymore:

"What the hell are you doing? You're all here to watch a movie!"

"You guys, get out of here!"

"Hi! Boss Hayato!!!" X8

The grandfather shook his head seemingly in complaint, but he was not really angry. Those who stayed behind were all elderly people from the community. Most of them had followed him for more than ten years and were as close to him as family.

I just felt a little embarrassed that they saw a movie based on me!

After driving the people away, his grandfather, Nagayama Hayato, looked at Naoki Naoyama with satisfaction and praised him repeatedly:

"Naoki, the movie is very well made!"

"Although Feng is only a bit as good as me, the whole movie is excellent!"

"As expected, I knew that Naoki could do it!"

Naoki Nagayama responded with a smile:

“My grandfather’s story is legendary, I just filmed it!”

"But then again, Grandfather, do you think there is anything that needs to be adjusted?!"

"No, not at all!" Grandfather shook his head. He was just a rough and rude man, and felt that this kind of movie was the ceiling. "Naoki, the movie you made is already perfect!"

“Hahaha, grandpa, stop praising me.” Nagayama Naoki signaled Komori Masataka and the others to put away the projection equipment and take out the filming equipment. “Then let’s get ready to shoot some trailers!”

“Do we really want to film this?”

After watching the movie, grandfather Hayato even felt that his appearance in the picture would lower the style of the movie!

“This is to connect the film with reality and make the audience feel more realistic.”

As Naoki Nagayama spoke, he helped his grandfather to the study room where there was more light.

“I also wanted to capture the feeling I had when I first saw my grandfather.”

"Um, what did you feel when you saw me for the first time?" asked Hayato Nagayama curiously.

"Just an ordinary old man~" Feeling that it was too simple, Naoki Nagayama added, "The feeling of going through a lot but finally returning to nature."

"What does that feel like?"

"Well, I can't explain it clearly. Let me take a picture of it!" Naoki Nagayama had already thought about it. He wanted to take a picture of the scene when he first met his grandfather in the study. "Grandfather, take the book "Summer Garden" and pretend to read it like the first time we met!"

"I clearly did read it." Grandfather retorted weakly.

"The books are all upside down!"

Naoki Nagayama bluntly exposed it. He is no longer as reserved as when he first came to see his grandfather. He was nervous at that time. After all, it was his first time meeting the leader of the Yakuza.

"." Nagayama Hayato stopped talking~

It's understandable that a gangster wants to pretend to be cultured when he sees his grandson, right?!

This shoot was directed by Naoki Nagayama. It was based directly on his actions when he first entered the study, showing a real first-person perspective!

In the camera's picture, as we pass the partition door of the study and Japanese-style room, we see an old man in a black kimono sitting on a futon next to the coffee table, holding "Natsu no Niwa" in his hand and seemingly reading.

The sunlight shines in from the study window, illuminating the coffee table and the book in the old man's hand, but it is hard to see the old man's face for a moment.

"Oji-san, Naoki is coming."

The voice of the narrator sounded, the old man raised his head, and the picture gradually became clear.

Under the gray hair is a face that has lost its sharpness, leaving only a kind face, and only the outline between the eyebrows and eyes, which vaguely reminds us of the unrestrained and uninhibited youth of Nagayama Hayato in the film.

This is the "Falcon" who caused a big stir in Tokyo and then returned to his hometown in Shizuoka to establish the Nagayama Group - Hayato Nagayama!

"You are Naoki."

"Naoki-san is back~"

In the Yamazakura Garden, Akina Nakamori is entertaining Tsuruko who is visiting.

"I guess I won't be back until tomorrow~"

"Hey~~~What are you going back for, Ni-chan?!"

Tsuruko grabbed Inatarou's ears, causing the guy to cry and ask the hostess for help.

But Akina was indifferent. She had been pulled many times before and didn't think it was a big deal!

"Naoki-san is going to show his grandfather a sample of the movie and shoot some other things. He will probably go home to see his father and mother after that."

Akina poured tea for her sister-in-law, then sat on the sofa and held Nyanko Taro in her arms and started to stroke him.

It is said that holding a cat is similar to holding a child. As the pregnancy progresses, she likes holding the cat more and more.

"I wanted to ask Ni-chan when she's going back this year," Tsuruko said helplessly, "I was thinking of going back together~"

"This year, Naoki-san and I will spend the New Year in Tokyo and will not go back until after the New Year." Akina talked about her New Year plans, "and because I have to participate in the Red and White Songs Festival, I may not go back until the second day of the New Year."

"??? Aren't you going back for the New Year?!" Hezi asked in surprise.

"Because we're already married!" Mingcai explained with a smile, "We have our own little family!"

"."

Only then did Tsuruko realize that she was the only unmarried person in the Nagayama family!

"How are Tsuruko and her boyfriend?" Akina changed the subject to Tsuruko herself, "Are you getting married after graduation?"

Hezi is already a junior and will graduate next year!

"Well"

However, Hezi has not yet made up her mind about marriage. She feels that getting married so early is a bit hasty.

After all, she was born in a small city and her ideas are still somewhat traditional. She believes that the purpose of marriage is to take care of the husband and children, but if she gets married before she even enters society, then all these years of studying will seem a bit of a waste!

"I want to play for a few more years~"

Tsuruko used a universal excuse

"Too."

Akina was not in a hurry. After all, although her sister-in-law was about the same age as her, she had been working hard in society for four or five years. Her thoughts and experience were more advanced than Tsuruko's.

"What kind of job do you want to do in the future?"

"I'm thinking of trying to be a screenwriter." Hezi said. After all, her brother is already a role model!

"That's it!"

Akina nodded in agreement. With Naoki Nagayama's connections, it would definitely be much easier to do this business!

"Has Tsuruko ever tried to write it?"

"I wrote quite a lot," Tsuruko said with confidence, "I think it's better than what Ni-chan wrote! Hahaha~"

"."

When it comes to writing better than her husband, even though she is his own sister, Akina feels a little uncomfortable!

"Come to think of it, Naoki-san hasn't written much recently, only some fragmentary manuscripts from the past."

"Eh? Ni-chan wrote something new?"

"It seems so. They are all in the study~"

"." Tsuruko became curious, "Akina-chan, can I take a look?"

So under the guidance of Mingcai, Tsuruko went to the study and saw many piles of manuscripts on the desk. These were fragmented thoughts.

Tsuruko saw the scripts of "The Pianist" and "The Reader", as well as prototypes of anime such as "The Garden of Words", "My Neighbor Totoro" and "Slam Dunk".

Until Mingcai took out a complete manuscript from the drawer:

"This should be the story that Naoki-san has recently completed. It seems that Shogakukan kept asking him to submit the manuscript, so he changed the original script into a novel."

"Adapting a script into a novel?!" Hezi was surprised, because usually it's the other way around!

"When Naoki-san writes, he seems to start with pictures, as if scenes from TV and movies appear in his mind, so what he writes first is more like a script."

Akina has a deep understanding of Naoki Nagayama and has even discovered many of his biggest secrets.

"But this time it was Shogakukan who kept begging, but he had too many things to do in the second half of the year and really didn't have the energy or the heart to create a new story, so he changed the script back."

Akina handed the manuscript to Tsuruko:

"This is just what Naoki-san uses to deal with Shogakukan's editors. Tsuruko, just take a look~"

"."

Tsuruko took the manuscript, and the title on the cover was written in bold and thick: "Tokyo Love Story".

Turning to the first page, Hezi was immersed in it!
