Chapter 1373, page 1382: You actually coveted Naoki-san's house?!
At the entrance of Yamazakurain Temple in the morning, Naoki Nagayama watched Akina tie a small scarf around Natsuka's neck, making her look like a little penguin.
"Is it really necessary to wear so much for a spring outing? It's springtime already!"
Although Naoki Nagayama strongly opposes the Japanese habit of children wearing only shorts in winter, it's already spring, so they probably don't need to wear so many layers when going out!
"How can that be done!"
Akina gently tucked the little one's neck with great concern.
"A cold snap in spring is unpredictable. What if I catch a cold!"
"."
Naoki Nagayama was at a loss; Akina, whose maternal instincts had been heightened since becoming pregnant, could be quite protective of her unborn child.
"When we go to Yushima Tenmangu Shrine today, the children will definitely sweat from all the movement, right?"
"We'll change it then!"
Today, Akina has made plans with her older sister, Akie, to go to Yushima Tenman in Bunkyo Ward for a spring outing and plum blossom viewing. They'll also visit Tenmangu Shrine to touch the bull's head, believed to bring wisdom, to help with lighting at Akina's house.
Naoki Nagayama was initially worried about Akina, who was six months pregnant, going out, but Akina argued, "I haven't had fresh air in ages," and "I'm so bored at home."
Then, after she begged and pleaded with "Please, please!" repeatedly, I couldn't resist anymore and had no choice but to go with her.
As for film editing? What's that? Does it matter if I have my own wife, daughter, and unborn child?!
"well."
Such a private outing naturally had to be low-key, so without a driver, Naoki Nagayama once again drove out his AE86.
This car is quite spacious; it can fit a child safety seat, and even pregnant Akina can sit comfortably. No wonder it was chosen by the Akina Mountain racing legend to deliver tofu!
Moreover, unlike black, blue paint is understated and doesn't easily attract attention.
"I heard that the plum blossoms in Yushima Tenjin are both red and white, and they are very beautiful!"
Because it had been a long time since the family had gone on a trip together, Akina chattered incessantly from the back row.
"Take lots of pictures of Hana-chan and me then! Hana-chan, what do you say?"
"."
Naoki Nagayama, who was driving, felt helpless.
"What about me?"
"Naoki-san is definitely the one in charge of taking photos!"
"."
They might even be responsible for carrying bags, getting water bottles, paying bills, and so on. Even if they are already very wealthy, when it comes to the family, they are just husbands and fathers.
The journey to Bunkyo wasn't long, and since we avoided the morning rush hour, the car quickly arrived near Yushima Tenmangu Shrine.
After parking the car, Akina, whose face was half-covered by a scarf, got out with the little one. Naoki Nagayama locked the car and asked curiously:
"Where did Minghui-san and you meet up?"
“Inside Tenmangu Shrine,” Akina said. “My eldest and second eldest sisters will be waiting by the torii gate with Shoji and Ai.”
"Hmm? Is it just my eldest sister and second sister? Where's Minghui?"
Naoki Nagayama was somewhat surprised.
"Has my brother-in-law not arrived yet?"
Speaking of which, the Nakamori family seems to be somewhat dominated by women. The husbands of the eldest sister, Nakamori Akie, and the second sister, Nakamori Akiko, seem to be rarely around, and even Nagayama Naoki has only seen them a few times.
"They all have to go to work! Minghui's flower shop also requires employees to work. Only the eldest and second eldest sisters are full-time housewives!"
Akina rolled her eyes. Not everyone is like Naoki Nagayama, who can drop everything to spend time with his family!
"Forehead"
This left Naoki Nagayama speechless for a moment. Although they were relatives, the Nagayama couple were no longer on the same social class as other families. Perhaps even his two brothers-in-law would feel awkward meeting Naoki.
The two of them each held one hand, leading the lively little one towards Tenmangu Shrine. Occasionally, they would use the little one as a swing to bounce around. In short, the child was very happy.
Because the scarves covered most of their faces, no one recognized that these three people were actually the famous Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori family.
Upon arriving at Tenmangu Shrine, I indeed saw two large and two small torii gates below the main gate.
"Minghui-san, Mingzi-san"
Unlike Akina's intimate manner, Naoki Nagayama greeted the two of them politely.
"Oh my god, Akina actually managed to seduce Naoki-san?"
The eldest sister, Minghui, teased,
"Naoki-san must be very busy lately, right?! There's this really popular trailer."
“It’s alright, there are other people on the editing team,” Naoki Nagayama explained. “I came along because Akina is six months pregnant and I was a little worried about her!”
Akina, who was standing next to me, had just greeted Shoto and Ai, and then looked up and pulled her two older sisters to go:
"Eldest sister, second sister, don't worry about Naoki-san, he's overthinking it!"
"."
Naoki Nagayama shrugged helplessly, bowed his head, and greeted Hikari and Ai. Hikari seemed quite impressed with the older brother who had so many games at home, while Ai was rather shy.
"Is Izuru six years old now?!" Naoki Nagayama asked. "He'll be starting elementary school in April?"
"Ok!"
Xiao Zhan nodded.
"That's why we're coming to Tenmangu Shrine!"
Tenmangu Shrine enshrines a cultural deity similar to the God of Literature, and is generally visited by students who pray for good grades. Of course, some people also come to pray for wisdom and knowledge.
The Tenmangu Shrine is currently holding a "Plum Blossom Festival," attracting a steady stream of students taking exams and their families. The ema (votive plaques) wall, where prayer plaques are hung, is covered with wooden plaques bearing wishes.
The group was worshipping at Tenmangu Shrine. Xiao Zhaoming and the other two children were asked to touch the bronze bull statue in the shrine in order to gain wisdom.
Sure enough, the bronze bull's head was worn smooth from being touched so much.
"It's the same no matter which country you're in!"
Naoki Nagayama picked the little one up and held her in his arms again, letting her look around at the bustling crowd. Then, he took Akina's arm with his other hand and slowly walked towards the plum garden.
The eldest sister, Minghui, and the second sister, Mingzi, each carried a small child and followed behind.
"Let's go take some photos!"
Akina was overjoyed; she had just touched the bull's head. Although she knew she was a terrible student, she was confident her unborn son would be incredibly intelligent!
Because she passed on the wisdom she had just acquired to him!
"Um"
Naoki Nagayama nodded, taking advantage of his height to find the right direction.
The plum blossoms in the plum garden are in full bloom. Rows of white plum trees line both sides of the bluestone steps, their branches laden with blossoms, creating a splendor comparable to that of cherry blossoms in full bloom.
The red plum blossoms interspersed among the flowers act as embellishments, adding a touch of vibrancy to the otherwise plain sea of blossoms. Against the backdrop of green fir and pine trees, they appear even more beautiful.
Akina stood with Natsuka and Ai, striking various poses, while Naoki Nagayama could only raise his camera to capture this beautiful moment!
However, when taking photos, one naturally has to pull down the scarf. Many tourists seemed to notice something as they passed by, their eyes widening in surprise and uncertainty.
"That's Akina?"
It's understandable that Akina, who is pregnant, is different from when she's in the public eye, so it's hard to be sure right now.
"You look a little different. Have you gained weight?!"
However, as if she had touched on a sensitive word, Akina immediately retorted:
"I haven't gained weight! This is normal when you're pregnant!!!"
"!!" "It really is Akina!" "Honkune!" "."
Just as things were about to get chaotic, Naoki Nagayama quickly grabbed Akina and Natsuka, one in each hand, and ran away!
All that remains at Tenmangu Shrine are urban rumors such as "Akina Nakamori appeared," "I ran into my idol," and "They must have mistaken me for someone else."
However, a few quick-fingered tourists took photos while Akina Nakamori was posing for pictures, which might appear in the media later.
Street photography isn't considered candid photography, so netizens won't be too strict about it.
"Hahaha!"
Akina, who had walked briskly for a while, was laughing heartily, which made Naoki Nagayama, who was standing next to her, furious.
"Akina!"
Naoki Nagayama put on a stern face.
"How could you be so reckless? What if it caused a stampede?! You're pregnant!"
"Private Marseille"
Akina decisively admitted her mistake, leaving Naoki Nagayama with nowhere to vent his anger!
The eldest sister, Minghui, stepped forward to smooth things over:
"Akina's probably a little excited because she's been pregnant for so long and hasn't come out yet. We can't reveal her identity anymore, Akina, understand?"
Hi~·~
"You're acting like a little kid! You're a mother now!"
"Hmm."
While the Nagayama couple were still enjoying their spring outing, Watanabe Eiichiro, who lived in the Shuyu Building, was summoned to Yoshimura Otomo's office.
"Otomo-san, you were looking for me?"
"Hmm~ just a moment."
Yoshimura Otomo signed the documents in his hand before sitting down on the sofa with Watanabe Eiichiro.
“Our liaison with the Jurassic Island construction team received news that something unexpected had happened at the construction site on the island.”
After Makino Takahiro discovered the young man on the island yesterday, he contacted the tree friends. Naturally, he didn't have Nagayama Naoki's phone number, so he could only call the person in charge of coordinating the Jurassic Island project.
"A young man, because of the trailer, secretly went to the island, saying he wanted to see if there were any real cloned dinosaurs."
After hearing this, Eiichiro Watanabe exclaimed in surprise:
"There is such a thing?!"
"Hehe. Nowadays, teenagers have nothing to do all day long, and some of them even do bad things just to seek excitement."
Yoshimura Otomo shook his head.
"What can't we do?"
"The important thing is that since this has happened, we need to be prepared!"
Yoshimura Daitomo continued,
"Once Jurassic Park is fully released, there will definitely be more surprises! Your publicity department needs to prepare contingency plans."
"Hi."
Eiichiro Watanabe immediately agreed, then pondered for a few breaths, and a brilliant idea flashed in his mind.
"Otomo-san, this kind of accident might just add a touch of legend to the promotion of 'Jurassic Park'!"
"oh?!"
"I think that in addition to using this story to enhance its reach, we can also try selecting a portion of our fans to visit the island and create more suspense!"
"Didn't Naoki-san say that Jurassic Island is going to be developed into a theme park in the future!"
Upon hearing this idea, Yoshimura Otomo nodded:
"The idea is good, but that park won't open until at least the second half of the year!"
"It's alright! Selecting tourists is just a prelude anyway!"
Eiichiro Watanabe seemed to have unlocked his full potential, his ideas flowing endlessly.
"Before the test screening, after the test screening, after the official release, etc., different people are chosen to go to the island. They can even fabricate stories to make it seem like Naoki really 'cloned' the dinosaur, which is why the movie has such realistic suspense!"
"You should know that in communication studies, absurd rumors and fantastical, interesting stories spread much faster than actual press releases!"
"This is exactly what they mean by 'it only takes a mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of legwork to refute it'!"
Yoshimura Otomo listened for a long time, then stroked his chin:
"You mean, you fabricated rumors about Naoki-san to promote Jurassic Park?!"
"Hi!"
Eiichiro Watanabe nodded excitedly at first, then suddenly came to his senses and felt a little guilty.
"Would Naoki-san care?!"
"Naoki-san wouldn't care about such rumors!"
Yoshimura Otomo, who knew Naoki Nagayama very well, waved his hand.
"If he hears the rumors, he might just agree and say something like, 'That's right, I'm the mastermind behind Jurassic Park! The big villain!'"
"In short, you should start preparing in this direction!"
"Hi!"
After Eiichiro Watanabe left, Otomo Yoshimura looked at the clear sky outside, shook his head, and smiled slightly.
"Naoki-san, Naoki-san, you're going on a spring outing!! I'm still working overtime!"
He was just waiting to see Naoki Nagayama's surprised expression when he heard the rumors about him!
After relaxing his eyes by the window for a moment, Yoshimura Hirotomo returned to his desk and picked up a new document.
"Full House Project Planning and Implementation Document"
Yoshimura Otomo smiled as he looked at the names on the list.
"That Kijima guy can't wait any longer!"
Then, as they reviewed the contents of the proposal, since the male and female leads had already been decided as Yukiko Okada and Masaharu Fukuyama, the selection of other supporting roles was much more relaxed for Kijima Kyō, who directly chose from the actor lists provided by Kiyō and other agencies, without even holding an audition meeting.
Then came team building, logistical support, various budgets, and most importantly, that big house that was so important in the TV series!
"Rent a villa in Tokyo? Your requirements are similar to those of Yamazaki-in?!"
"Kijima, you actually wanted Naoki-san's house, didn't you?!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, that's quite difficult!"
It's worth noting that manor-style villas like Yamazakura are very rare in Tokyo's urban area; they're usually found in the suburbs or nearby small cities!
"How about renting a former residence of a famous person or something?"
After pondering for a few seconds, Yoshimura Otomo shook his head repeatedly.
"Why should I care so much?! Let Kijima find it himself! He's the director of 'Full House'! As long as the price is within my budget, I don't care what kind of house it is!"
He randomly made a note on the document and then returned the plan!
Inside the editing room.
Kijima held the plan and looked at the comments on it.
"Hmm, if I had to choose, I'd want Naoki-san's Yamazaki-in!"
You know, he had never seen a more beautiful Sino-Western style manor garden than Yamazakura-in in Tokyo. There are quite a few private gardens, though most of them are not in the city.
But he knew it was impossible; would he dare ask the boss to vacate the space?!
So where should we choose?
"Kishima, what's wrong? You look so helpless!"
Masataka Komori saw it and came over to take a look.
"Oh, about choosing a filming location! Is there no way to decide?"
"I can't find a house similar to Yama-oka-in."
"Oh? You actually covet Naoki-san's house?!"
Komori Masataka laughed,
"Looks like he doesn't want to live anymore!"
"Similar! I already said it's similar!"
"Haha~"
Masataka Komori then stopped joking and, with a sudden thought, came up with a solution.
"Kijima, you definitely won't find it here by yourself! How many houses have you even looked at!"
"What do you mean, Masataka?"
"Go find a real estate agent! They look at houses every day, they're sure to find something suitable!"
"Eh?!!"
Kijima looked at his friend with feigned surprise.
"I never expected you to be so smart, Zhengxiao!! You really are a person who should be looked at with new eyes after three days of separation!"
"Do you want to die?!"
Komori Masataka strangled Kijima Kyor's neck,
"I'll grant your wish even if you die!"
"Private matters are a death sentence~~"
