Chapters 1255 and 1264, are you all going to come looking for us?!
Someone once said that the taste of victory is a headache. Naoki Nagayama agrees with this.
When Naoki Nagayama woke up, he felt the pain of a hangover for the first time in a long time. He had a headache, dry mouth, and sore, light-sensitive eyes. In short, he felt terrible!
Yesterday, after leaving the Diet building, Shuichi Itō dragged Naoki Nagayama out for a celebratory drinking session, which lasted until night!
Many socialites and supporting members of parliament joined in. It's true what they say, politicians are the best drinkers; they not only toasted everyone, but also made sure no one refused.
That's why even Naoki Nagayama, who has a high alcohol tolerance, got drunk!
"Naoki-san?"
Akina had already gotten up and washed up, and even washed Natsuka's face. When she returned to the bedroom, she was very concerned to see her husband's condition.
"What's wrong? Do you have a headache?"
"Hmm, my mouth is so dry, I'm so thirsty." Naoki Nagayama rubbed his temples. "How did I get back yesterday?"
“Toda-kun brought it back.” Akina poured a glass of water and handed it to him. “Naoki-san was really drunk yesterday. He didn’t even wake up when I was wiping him down.”
"Ha~~ It's been so long since I've drunk this much."
Naoki Nagayama finished the water in one gulp, finally relieving his thirst. He looked at Akina and smiled, saying:
"Being drunk must have been tough on Akina, right?"
"No, not really."
Akina sat down on the edge of the bed and patted Naoki Nagayama's head with a smile.
"Naoki-san is still very quiet even when he's drunk; he just sleeps and doesn't even talk in his sleep, just as cute as Hana-chan when she's asleep~"
"."
Naoki Nagayama didn't know how to respond. It felt strange.
After taking a shower, Naoki Nagayama felt refreshed and invigorated.
While having breakfast at the table, I saw the news that the proposal had been passed yesterday.
Perhaps because it was a proposal closely related to the entertainment industry, many newspapers paid close attention to it. The Yomiuri Shimbun even dedicated a front page to it, detailing the impact the proposal could have on film industry professionals.
Praises such as "a safety net law," "providing a safety net for workers," "a manifestation of human rights principles," and "progress in the film industry" were used by journalists as if they were free.
In these various reports, the name of the Tokyo Film Industry Association frequently appears. Its president, Shuichi Itō, is considered one of the biggest driving forces behind the proposal and its greatest contributor, said to have been extremely concerned about the healthy development of the film industry.
Most media outlets coincidentally failed to report on the real mastermind behind the scenes—the Shuyu Group. This aligns with the long-standing practice in Japanese society that large conglomerates, zaibatsu, families, and interest groups are the ones manipulating everything behind the scenes.
"Naoki-san has really secured a lot of benefits for those working at the bottom of the film industry this time!"
Akina also read the report and was deeply moved.
"I wonder when this kind of labor rights protection will extend to the idol industry and idol singers."
"That'll have to wait until your husband conquers the entertainment industry!"
Naoki Nagayama shrugged. "The Film Association will probably have to be called the Entertainment Association then."
"Naoki-san is great!"
Akina chuckled as she fed Natsuka.
"I have 100% confidence in you!"
"."
Sigh... why do I suddenly feel so excited?
Because of yesterday's celebration, Naoki Nagayama didn't go to the company today. It's estimated that Shuichi Itō and the others won't go to the company either, as they'll all be resting at home.
And coincidentally, Akina had no schedule today, so the two of them, who were staying at home, prepared to complete a challenge.
"Naoki-san, I've made up my mind!"
Akina sat cross-legged on the sofa with a resolute expression, holding a file folder in her hand.
"Today, I'm going to finish watching the ending of 'Sorry, I Love You'!"
I watched the ending a few days ago, but the beginning was too touching, and I was afraid the ending would be too sad, so I didn't dare to continue watching.
I should have been mentally prepared before watching it, so I haven't cried these past few days.
"."
Naoki Nagayama, holding Xiaoxiahua, looked somewhat worried.
"Maybe it's better not to. Some novels' endings are best left as they are; you don't necessarily have to finish reading them!"
"No, I must see it!"
A determined glint flashed in Akina's eyes.
"I absolutely must see a happy ending for the male and female leads! Just like the prince and princess, they will definitely be happy forever."
"."
Hmm, do you think this is some kind of domestic TV drama? It absolutely has to have a happy ending, a perfect family reunion?!
Akina noticed the change in Naoki Nagayama's expression and felt a little worried, but she still stubbornly insisted...
Even if the male lead unfortunately passes away in the end, the female lead will definitely live on with fond memories!
"."
Well.
Naoki Nagayama couldn't look at Akina anymore. He held Natsuka in his arms and said:
"Flower Sauce, shall we go play in the yard? There are flowers, grass, and dogs!"
"Go to the courtyard"
Xia Hua, on the other hand, was in high spirits. She had just watered the plants that morning, and the yard wasn't too hot.
"Naoki-san, I'm going upstairs to take a look. I'll come down when I'm done! It won't bother Hana-chan!"
Akina got up and prepared to go upstairs.
Seeing that Akina had already taken the manuscript out of the file folder, Naoki Nagayama could only quietly hand her the tissue box on the coffee table, so that Akina could use it later.
Tsk tsk tsk, a romance drama, and in the end the male lead dies donating his organs, and the female lead commits suicide for love.
Naoki Nagayama had no idea how much Akina would cry!
"Sigh, after that I have to give it to Momoe Yamaguchi, and after that to Shogakukan."
The thought of countless readers coming after the book is published, demanding changes to the plot and ending, gives Naoki Nagayama a headache.
Fortunately, Akina isn't an unreasonable person.
Children's batteries are very short; they get tired after playing for a little over an hour and then start to feel drowsy.
After putting the baby to sleep in the crib, Naoki Nagayama picked up the phone to call Naoya Sakata, who was far away in the Seto Inland Sea, to arrange a trip there in a few days.
"How's the construction progressing on the island, Sakata-san?"
Naoya Sakata was on the phone at the temporary headquarters in the port town. Looking out from his office, he saw that the entire port town was fully completed, with water and electricity already installed, and the shops along the street finished.
It can be said that as long as people come, it can become a normally functioning town!
"Naoki-san, everything is proceeding according to schedule. The first phase, the port town and several parks, are basically completed. The second phase, the resort hotel and tram, are under construction. The third phase, the hillside park, is also under construction."
"How's the seaside resort hotel doing? I remember the interior renovations were already finished last time?"
Upon hearing about the resort hotel that was of most interest, Naoki Nagayama spoke up.
"I'm planning to go on a week-long trip soon! I'll also take the opportunity to check on the progress of the project."
In fact, we still need to investigate whether we can prepare for the filming of "Jurassic Park" in advance.
"Is Naoki-san coming over?"
Naoya Sakata was slightly surprised, and then said,
The hotel's interior renovation is complete, but the beds and furniture haven't been prepared yet. However, if Naoki-san is coming, we'll prepare the ocean-view suite in advance.”
"Um"
Naoki Nagayama nodded.
"Akina and I will be arriving around early August. The small airport on the island should be finished by then, right?"
"Ah, the small airport was very easy to build; it was completed long ago!"
Naoya Sakata immediately said,
"And it's already in use, it's very convenient."
During the construction of the island, it was very inconvenient to use ships for personnel movement and material transportation, so after the airport was built, it was indeed used quite a few times.
"That's good. Are all the other supplies on the island complete? Xia Hua's birthday is August 12th, and I want to throw a birthday party on the island!"
"Forehead"
Sakata Naoya hesitated for a moment, but still answered truthfully.
"You can buy ordinary small items at the general stores on the island, but they don't carry anything related to birthdays."
A large construction site is like a small society, with shops, restaurants and various supporting services. On Jurassic Island, these businesses may very well continue to operate.
"That's it."
Naoki Nagayama stroked his chin.
"Then I'll have the event support company prepare everything, and Sakata-san will help arrange the warehouse and accommodation."
"Hey, no problem!"
After continuing to chat with Naoya Sakata about things on Jurassic Island, Naoki Nagayama pulled out his phone book and called Shigeo Yamakawa, the event support company.
"What? You're going to throw a party for Natsuka on some island in the Seto Inland Sea?"
Shigeaki Yamakawa was quite surprised when he received the call. Although he had just prepared a fireworks show for Akina Nakamori in Chiyoda, he was surprised to be called back to the island.
All I can say is that these rich people really know how to have fun!
"Yes."
Naoki Nagayama nodded.
"But this time we don't need anything too complicated, just regular fireworks, plus the usual things for a kids' birthday party, like a birthday cake, candy, decorations, and so on. You should be more familiar with these than I am."
"Hi! We have indeed organized quite a few birthday parties."
Shigeaki Yamakawa naturally agrees with Naoki Nagayama's assessment.
"However, on a private island, there probably aren't any shops like cake shops yet."
"The cake shop probably doesn't have it."
Naoki Nagayama laughed.
"It's still a construction site there, but the roads, ports, and airports are all in place. You can buy everything you need in the neighboring Ehime Prefecture."
"Then, I'll organize a team to go and check it out on-site beforehand!"
Shan Chuan Fangong said.
"Make sure you have a clear understanding before developing a plan."
"Okay, I have complete confidence in Minister Yamakawa's abilities in event planning!"
Naoki Nagayama smiled and nodded, then gave him Naoya Sakata's contact information.
"You can contact him for anything on the island."
"Hey, I get it!"
After hanging up the phone, Naoki Nagayama pondered again: who else should he give it to? He also needed to arrange for a private jet!
One phone call after another was made, and the blueprint for this vacation to Jurassic Island gradually became clear in Naoki Nagayama's mind: when to go, the itinerary after arriving, and the need to investigate the filming conditions for "Jurassic Park" during the vacation.
Thinking about the filming of "Jurassic Park," Naoki Nagayama suddenly slapped his thigh:
"Oh, speaking of which, the biggest highlight of Jurassic Park was the creation of those dinosaur models!! Tyrannosaurus Rex and stuff like that."
"Making these models takes a lot of effort! I wonder if the prop team from the tree-loving friends can do it well."
"I wonder if there are any special effects teams in Japan that make monsters? Maybe we could go and learn from them?"
At this point, Naoki Nagayama suddenly recalled the most classic monster-fighting show in Japan.
"By the way, Ultraman's leather jacket and the monsters' jackets look really realistic."
"But that one looks like it's life-size, I wonder if we can use it as a reference."
Special effects weren't as advanced back then, so some scenes might actually require a small-scale city model to be built for comparison, similar to the production of Ultraman.
"In short, we'll contact the Ultraman program team later and have the props department learn from them!"
In the morning, Naoki Nagayama thought that Akina wasn't the kind of person who would force the author to change the ending, but he was proven wrong by noon!
"Naoki-san, please change the ending! Let the male lead live, and don't let Rinka die for love!! Waaaaah!"
Seeing Akina's teary eyes and red eyes and nose, Naoki Nagayama was completely helpless!
"Everyone's telling Akina not to watch the ending!"
Naoki Nagayama could only wring out the towel and hand it to Akina to wipe her face.
"Based on the previous plot, this is the only way it can end!"
"But...isn't the male protagonist, Okazaki, too pitiful?!"
Akina complained,
"In the end, she never recognized her mother, and she even had to donate her organs to her younger brother. She couldn't even protect her beloved Rinka!!"
"And then, in the end, Rinka actually committed suicide for love at the Okazaki gravesite!!"
When she got to the point of being sad, Akina put her arm around Naoki Nagayama's waist:
"Waaaaah, Naoki-san, please change them back! Please bring them back to life!"
"."
Naoki Nagayama could only gently pat his wife's shoulder to offer comfort.
"Akina, this is the final ending for the novel character. If it were changed, it wouldn't be as touching!"
"No. Naoki-san, you absolutely must change!!!"
Akina buried her head in Naoki Nagayama's arms and cried bitterly.
"They must all come back to life!!!"
At this moment, Naoki Nagayama recalled how Conan Doyle's decision to kill off Sherlock Holmes sparked countless protests in London, and even his closest mother wrote a letter saying she would sever ties with him if Holmes wasn't resurrected.
Sigh. He can't even imagine how many razor blades readers will send him after "I'm Sorry, I Love You" is published!
I can't even imagine how many viewers will try to dox Naoki Nagayama himself when the TV series is filmed in the future, or even come to his door to threaten him!
Wait, it seems we need to show it to Momoe Yamaguchi first!
I doubt that the usually mature and composed Momoe Yamaguchi would come to the Yamazakura-in Temple after watching it and beg me to change the ending, right?
