Chapters 1425 and 1434: Behind every goddess lies...
At the end of the month~
During the monthly meeting of Tree Friends Capital, the bigwigs all looked curiously at the film crew who were tidying up on the side.
"Naoki-san is over there, right? Let's go say hello!"
"Naoki-san is filming 'Black Monday,' right? Let's go check it out."
In short, everyone is very curious about this important event in the business world.
Although everyone came here for an investment sharing session, they were all very interested in the legendary short-selling of movies in the investment world, hoping to learn something from Naoki Nagayama's operations!
Nakai Genta emerged from the meeting room somewhat helplessly:
"Everyone, Naoki-san isn't here. The crew is just packing up the equipment."
"The next phase of filming will take place in a specialized park."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"They should be almost done filming by now~" "What?! He's not here?!" "I never see Naoki-san at Tree Friends Capital!" "Is he off dealing with some rumors?"
Stripped of their glamorous aura, the bigwigs in the investment world are just ordinary people, and it's quite common for them to chat casually once they get to know each other.
Yasuhiro Hidaka of Nomura Securities directly asked Genta Nakai:
"Minister Nakai, I heard that after Naoki-san finished filming 'Black Monday,' his next project is a racing movie, is that right?"
"Yes."
At this point, Nakai Genta also became interested and started chatting with the group.
"Several major car companies previously said they wanted to find someone to make a movie for promotion, but none of them contacted Naoki-san, which made him feel embarrassed. So he decided to make a racing movie to outdo them all!"
"Hahaha!"
Hidaka Yasuhiro laughed after hearing this.
"Naoki-san is still quite young and impetuous; he gets angry when he's looked down upon."
"Haha, what kind of young man isn't full of vigor!"
Kajiwara Yasuhiro, standing to the side, chuckled and joked.
"Naoki-san is only in his early twenties! And he's already so famous."
"Yes, yes!" "Indeed, indeed."
The bigwigs listening unanimously agreed. If they were Naoki Nagayama's age and could achieve even 30% of his accomplishments, they would be incredibly arrogant!
"By the way, why don't car companies hire Naoki-san?"
Nakai Genta shook his head:
"There could be many reasons. One of them is that Naoki-san might not need sponsorship for his movie."
"Really?" "Naoki-san doesn't need sponsorships for his movies?"
At this point, Nakai Genta suddenly remembered the favor Nagayama Naoki had asked him to do: get sponsorship from international super brands like LaFerrari and Lamborghini.
It's not that we don't accept sponsorships.
Looking at this group of wealthy tycoons, Nakai Genta didn't hide anything.
"Naoki Santiago said that the upcoming racing movie needs expensive luxury cars, but we don't have any sources yet. You are all wealthy people in the investment world with extensive connections; do you have any resources to introduce top-tier luxury cars from abroad?! Besides companies like GM and Toyota."
"Don't worry, sponsoring Naoki-san's movie will definitely be a win-win situation! Whether it's for the brand or other aspects."
"oh?!"
Upon hearing Nakai Genta's words, everyone looked at each other, and were immediately somewhat tempted.
They have absolute confidence in Naoki Nagayama's directing skills, and this matchmaking is a win-win situation.
"I did have drinks with Ferrari's Japanese distributor before."
Mitsuhiro Katagiri of Itochu Corporation spoke directly.
"Perhaps I can talk to him about it."
"I also have connections with the board of directors of Aston Martin."
"."
Those who came to the Tree Friends Capital Sharing Session were all extraordinary individuals, and when they spoke, they surprisingly included most of the world's top luxury car brands.
Nakai Genta expressed his gratitude repeatedly:
Thank you all. We'll discuss this in more detail later.
"."
At this moment, a large number of media reporters had gathered outside the headquarters building of Ken-On, waiting for Ken-On's official statement.
Do you think they'll officially announce it this time?!
Yuto Kosaka of the Tokyo Sports newspaper was chatting with his colleague next to him.
"I remember when Akina Nakamori announced her relationship, Ken-on made it official here, right?!"
"Possibly!" "Maybe!" "After all, there's already concrete evidence!"
My colleagues all agreed, believing that making an official announcement now would be good for everyone.
Just as everyone was discussing, the doors of the Yanyin headquarters opened, and a person well-known in the media circle walked out.
With a heavy heart, Hanami arrived at the entrance of Ken-On. She felt as if the camera lenses in front of her were long spears, all trying to interrogate her.
"Everyone, I'm sorry to keep you waiting!"
After the familiar opening remarks, a reporter couldn't wait to ask a question:
"President Hanami, stop with the nonsense! Just tell us directly that Yukiko Okada is dating Masaharu Fukuyama?!"
"."
Hanami Kagami stared at the guy who suddenly spoke, silently memorizing his appearance, and decided that he would never let him into Ken-On's press conferences again!
"Ahem. Regarding this matter, what I can tell everyone is..."
"Yukiko is currently working with Masaharu Fukuyama on the drama 'Full House,' and the photo shows her exposed during filming."
These words caused an uproar in the audience!
This is utterly disregard for the media! Can't they tell the difference between candid photography and street photography?!
Can't you see the difference between your work demeanor and your personal life?!
However, Hanami Kagami had not finished speaking:
"As for whether she's in a relationship, that's Yukiko-chan's private life, and her agency won't comment. Yukiko-chan's work remains unchanged, so please support her new projects."
What?! No comment on their private lives?!
Are you kidding me?!
Is this still a Japanese agency?!
That's far too perfunctory!
The reporters at the scene couldn't hold back any longer:
"President Hanami, are you kidding me?! Do you think an agency doesn't care about its artists' private lives?! And this is Japan, no less?!"
"."
Hanami Kagami memorized another face, but continued talking.
"Hey, after all, the agency and the artist have a working relationship. Artists are people too, and naturally they need privacy!"
"."
At this point, all the reporters were angered by Ken-On's attitude and began to ask even more demanding questions.
"Is President Hanami just brushing off the public's concerns? The public has the right to know!"
"Celebrities' privacy must also be protected!"
"President Hanami, why don't you just admit it?! Is it that hard?!"
"We do not comment on the private lives of celebrities."
"Yukiko Okada and Masaharu Fukuyama are definitely in love, right?!"
"As far as I know, they are currently filming 'Full House,' playing a couple."
"."
Reporters kept throwing out questions, but all they got in return was Hua Jianhe's Tai Chi Cloud Hands. In short, he had only one attitude: "Neither admit nor refute."
Meanwhile, the top reporter, Yuto Kosaka, who had been listening silently, seemed to have figured something out.
"President Hanami"
He said to his assistant, Ishizaki Aito,
"Looks like they've reached some kind of agreement with the tree friends! Let's go check it out!"
With that, he led Ishizaki Ayato toward Ikebukuro.
The press conference for Tree Friends was around the same time as that for Yan Yin. Since there were many reporters from the media and newspapers, both sides simply sent a group.
When Yuto Kosaka arrived, Masami Inada also spoke eloquently under the barrage of reporters' cameras.
"Masaharu Fukuyama is currently filming 'Full House,' and that photo was simply taken during the filming process."
"Since they were playing a couple, their interactions were just like those of a couple."
Please continue to support "Full House".
Having heard almost exactly what Hanami Kagami said, Kosaka Yuto confirmed his suspicions and said to Ishizaki Ranto:
"Alright, let's go back! I know how to write the report now!"
"?"
Ishizaki Aito was stunned.
"What did you find out?! According to the agency's statement, the two of them are not dating!"
"This is not the truth! If there really wasn't a relationship, neither party would have bothered to issue a public statement to refute it; they could have simply let it go and even boosted the popularity of 'Full House'!"
Yuto Kosaka immediately said...
"there is only one truth!"
"They are indeed in a relationship, but for some reason, neither of their agencies wants to acknowledge it."
"???!!"
Ishizaki Ranto was even more confused.
"Wouldn't it be simpler to just separate them?!"
"Have you forgotten? These are Ken-On and Shu-Yu!"
Hearing this, Ishizaki Ayato understood a bit more.
Ken-On and Shuyu are two talent agencies that stand out in the Japanese entertainment industry because they are very lenient with their artists.
Other agencies might be able to make their artists break up directly, but these two agencies can't!
"It's so great to be an artist for Ken-On and Jūyū!"
Yuto Kosaka immediately turned around to go back, as he wouldn't get any more exciting news from the agency.
However, since it's confirmed that the two are dating, but they can't officially announce it for some reason, there must be a time when they can find a clue!
Isn't it interesting to outwit celebrities who are secretly in a relationship?! It would be even better if we could find out the real reason why they're not making it official!
In the evening, the evening paper published the statements from both law firms.
This vague response left viewers and fans somewhat dissatisfied, and coincidentally, the latest episode of "Full House" is airing tonight.
On the screen, Masaharu Fukuyama and Yukiko Okada are seen on their honeymoon after their marriage, strolling through a market, walking on the beach, eating ice cream, and laughing together.
They were so sweet to each other, they really looked like a couple on their honeymoon!
The TV series "Full House" was filmed while it was being broadcast, and this episode was filmed a week ago!
This perfectly aligns with the agency's response, making it seem as if the previous paparazzi photos were indeed filming a romantic scene between the two. This has shaken the audience's already held belief that the two are dating!
"Are they actually in a relationship or not?!"
Ryoma Adachi muttered to himself as he watched the latest episode of "Full House".
Meanwhile, Murayama Ryoma on the other side curled his lip in disapproval:
"What does it have to do with anything?! Isn't your Yukiko in a TV drama where she's in love?!"
"What do you know?!"
Adachi Ryoma immediately became anxious.
"Real-life romance and romance in TV dramas are completely different things!!!"
"What's the difference?!"
Ryoma Murayama shrugged.
"It's not like they all go out to play together, hug, kiss, and sleep together."
"You bastard!! Shut up!!!"
As if something had been revealed, Ryoma Adachi immediately reacted and said...
"Yukiko-chan wouldn't do that, she wouldn't!!!"
"Hehe. Adachi, have you heard this saying before?"
For some reason, Murayama Ryoma seemed particularly eager to see Adachi Ryoma's dreams crumble. He said with a wicked grin,
Behind every goddess in other people's eyes is a man who is tired of sleeping with her.
The entertainment industry is no exception.
"."
Visibly, Ryoma Adachi was coated with a layer of black and white, and then... it shattered!
Why did you do this to me?!
With a choked voice and angry gaze, Ryoma Adachi accused her roommate!
"Forehead"
Seeing the accusing gaze, Murayama Ryoma suddenly felt a pang of guilt and awkwardly looked away.
Yeah, why would he enjoy watching Adachi Ryoma break down?! Does he think he's weak and easy to bully?!
Isn't this just like a child?!
It's said that kids love to bully the people they like.
"Autumn beans, sack of potatoes!!!"
Murayama Ryoma suddenly straightened up, his face solemn as he performed a dogeza (a deep bowing gesture) towards Adachi Ryoma.
"It was wrong of me to do that to Marseille!! Adachi, you're my good brother, I shouldn't have done that!"
"Forehead"
Ryoma Adachi was startled; he hadn't expected his roommate to react so strongly. He immediately reached out to help him up.
"There's no need for such a deep bow."
"!!!"
To everyone's surprise, when Ryoma Adachi reached out his hand, Ryoma Murayama dodged it like the plague. He quickly moved his buttocks away before returning to his sitting position.
"Cough cough."
Perhaps sensing something was amiss, Ryoma Murayama subconsciously adjusted his posture, changing from sitting cross-legged to sitting with his legs open.
Then I saw that the two of them were eating sandwich cookies while watching TV.
"Forefoot standing, eating sweets while watching TV is too girly. A real man should drink some beer!"
"what?!"
"I'll get it!"
Murayama Ryoma immediately took out two cans of beer from the refrigerator, and then took out the leftover cold cuts from dinner, saying boldly,
"A real man should have a drink and a bite of meat!"
"."
Adachi Ryoma took the beer with some confusion, took a sip, and then asked in bewilderment:
"Liangma, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine!!" Murayama Ryoma immediately replied nervously, "I just think that real men should eat these things!!"
".Forehead."
Adachi Ryoma became even stranger.
"Liangma, why are you speaking in such a low voice?"
"What?! No!! This is my original voice! It's so manly!!"
"."
Regardless of the strange relationship between these two roommates renting an apartment in Tokyo, at this moment, Naoki Nagayama and Akina are also watching "Full House" together in the Yamazakura-in.
"This is Jurassic Island!"
Akina smiled and said to Natsuka, who was also watching.
"Hana-chan, do you remember that garden? You've been there!"
The little one's eyes looked a bit dazed; naturally, she wouldn't remember that clearly.
When Akina saw Masaharu Fukuyama teaching Yukiko Okada to ride a bicycle, she smiled:
"I learned to ride a bicycle like that when I was little! Nii-chan, can you hold the back seat for me?"
"They still need to help?"
Naoki Nagayama smiled and said,
"Isn't it easy to do by just kicking your foot?!"
"."
Akina rolled her eyes and looked down at Natsuka, who was curiously looking at the screen:
"When Huajiang can ride a bike, I'll buy her a small toy bicycle and teach her how to ride it!"
Naoki Nagayama looked at the little guy:
"At only two years old, that's quite a long wait!"
Just then, Akina's stomach suddenly moved, causing her to quickly cover it.
"This little guy got so excited about riding a bike that he actually kicked me!"
"...Stick tape?"
"It's fine"
Akina shook her head; she was used to it.
Naoki Nagayama gently stroked Akina's belly and sighed:
"Luckily, I'm going to the hospital tomorrow. Anything can happen during these last few days, so be careful!"
He still remembered how tense the entire Yamazakiin community was when Akina's water suddenly broke.
"Uh-huh."
