Chapter 1215 1224, I don’t understand, but I respect

Chapter 1215 Chapter 1224, I don’t understand, but I respect.

Akina brought Xiao Xiahua to the Ken-On Office today to discuss the promotion of the special album.

The little guy wore a one-piece dinosaur doll costume and ran around the office like a little dinosaur, laughing happily from time to time, attracting many aunts and sisters who couldn't help but want to hug him~

In fact, in principle, Japanese workplaces do not allow children to be brought to the workplace, but the current "principle" of Ken-On is Akina Nakamori, who is both the pillar and the shareholder of the company.

As long as she likes it, bringing children to work might become a feature of Yanyin!

Yukiko Okada, who is also from Ken-On, is also here today.

Although she has been hailed as the successor to Akina Nakamori and Seiko Matsuda since her debut, at a time when the entire idol industry is on the decline, her fame and popularity, as well as her record sales, have never surpassed the real idol queens. There is nothing she can do if she cannot reach the top of the idol industry.

"Akina sauce"

Yukiko Okada stood next to Akina Nakamori affectionately, watching her bending over to protect Xiao Xiahua, and asked with a little envy,

"As an artist, how can I be like you, without delaying my career or my family?"

"This one"

Akina straightened up, and subconsciously put her scattered hair behind her ears with one hand, revealing her delicate and fair cheek skin, the soft curve of her jaw and her swan-like slender neck. Every move she made revealed the sexiness and charm of a mature woman.

“To find a good man to fall in love with.”

Akina looked at Xiao Xiahua,

"Then. Give him a baby!"

In Japan, the idea of ​​independent feminism is now rampant, and people are pursuing independence and autonomy. However, the traditional custom of women relying on their husband's family still exists. The two cultural concepts are in conflict and fusion at the same time, so there are many contradictory concepts in society.

However, Akina Nakamori is the epitome of rebellious women, how could she say such a thing? !

"."

Yukiko Okada didn't know what to say for a moment.

Mingcai naturally noticed it, and she said with a smile:

"After all, you can work hard on your career alone, but family is for both parties, so both sides have to work hard~"

Speaking of Akina Nakamori's current career, it is true that Naoki Nagayama has contributed a lot to it, but even without Naoki Nagayama, Akina would still be at the top of the idol world.

But as for the family, if there was no Naoki Nagayama, apart from other things, Xiao Xiahua would not be able to give birth!

Holding Xiao Xiahua, who was tired from running, in her arms, Akina held a meeting with Tanaka Yoshiaki from Kenon and others.

Tanaka Yoshiaki suppressed his excitement and reported the sales of previous records:

“The album BLONDE has already ranked first on the music charts! It is number one in both influence and sales.”

"As expected, Akina-chan's strength is unquestionable!"

"We've received an invitation to The Best Ten and are just about to confirm with Akina whether we want to attend!"

“You can go and participate!”

Akina Nakamori nodded. Even if she reduced the number of announcements, she should still participate in programs like "The Best Ten". Otherwise, the five sets of Hermès scarf costumes she made would be useless.

"Okay!" Tanaka Yoshiaki said happily, "I'll reply to them later!"

Everyone present laughed and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

"Then there's the special record thing."

Tanaka Yoshiaki continued,

"The theme song of "Long Vacation" has become increasingly popular as the TV series airs. It has been requested a lot on the radio station."

When Akina Nakamori heard the news, she was not surprised. After all, this song was written by Naoki Nagayama. If it weren't for the TV series, it could have become the title song of the next album.

“For this song ‘LALALA LOVE SONG’, we plan to license it to karaoke bars and dance halls in addition to fan clubs.”

Akina listened quietly to Tanaka Yoshiaki's narration, nodding her head from time to time to show her agreement. She didn't put much thought into this song, she just thought of it as a benefit and a gift from her husband.

Then comes the most important stage

After Tanaka Yoshiaki finished explaining the current situation, Shimada Yuzo spoke up:

"We need to start planning our next album, Akina-san."

Nowadays, every time I plan an album for Akina Nakamori, it is a test.

It’s not that it’s difficult to create an album for Akina, but Akina now has a diverse image and excellent singing skills, and it seems that she can handle any style of music.

The most difficult thing for a versatile singer is how to show her own style~

In fact, variety can be considered a style, but this style requires a large number of albums as a foundation.

"Akina has tried exotic dance music and pop music before, and I'm thinking about trying traditional enka for the next album."

Shimada Yuzo is a very trendy musician. His plans have always been avant-garde. This time he suddenly turned to traditional Japanese enka, which surprised everyone.

"Enka?" Akina murmured.

“It’s not necessarily true enka but a traditional style similar to enka.”

Shimada Yuzo continued to explain,

“Of course, elements of modern music need to be incorporated.”

After hearing this, everyone in the conference room started discussing it.

"As for enka, I haven't tried it yet!" "Acceptance level." "It should be possible, after all, it is a traditional culture~" "Maybe it can attract a group of middle-aged and elderly fans and expand Akina's influence" "."

Akina herself is also considering it. As a singer, she is naturally familiar with enka, and her deep voice is actually very suitable for singing enka.

And speaking of enka, her husband composed a very famous classic song "The Flowing River" for the enka queen Hibari Misora!

"Then let's try the traditional enka style."

Mingcai made the decision.

"Shimada-san, do you have a suitable composer or lyricist?"

"Not yet. For enka lyrics and music, we need to contact experienced musicians."

"Then I'll trouble you."

Just like that, the style of the next album has been determined.

But this time, I think Akina will not sing "The Shipwreck". She is so happy now, she probably can't sing that kind of sad feeling~

After the meeting, Mingcai looked down and saw that Xiao Xiahua had fallen asleep in her arms.

"Can you fall asleep in a strange place? Are you feeling sleepy during the spring?"

Mingcai tapped her daughter's nose, and after Xiao Xiahua hummed twice, she fell asleep peacefully again.

In the mother's arms, is naturally the safest place~

At the same time, the crew of "Departures" is filming in Daisetsuzan Park in Hokkaido.

A lot of the snow in May has melted and the ski resort is no longer open, but there is still some snow left in the Snow Mountain Park, allowing people to feel the cold of winter.

Without the attraction of a ski resort, there were not many tourists in the park, so the crew found a relatively quiet slope in the park and started filming.

"Youhesan"

Naoki Nagayama was telling a play to Tomokazu Miura.

"You're going to play the cello on the hillside later. Is that okay?"

“A bit cold”

Tomokazu Miura spoke honestly. In order to maintain his image during the photoshoot, he naturally could not wear bulky cotton-padded clothes or down jackets. He could only wear a slim-fitting tweed coat, and at most a sweater underneath.

This is not a problem in the city, but we are in the mountains of Hokkaido. And there is a saying that it is not cold when it snows, but it is cold when it melts.

"Oh, it's okay. Our staff brought some antipyretic medicine."

Naoki Nagayama said,

"And the hospital here in the Great Snow Mountain is the best at treating frostbite and colds!"

"."So I must freeze to death once?!

Tomokazu Miura had to recall again whether he had ever offended Naoki Nagayama in any way.

As the director, Naoki Nagayama has already begun to make demands:

"When Youhe-san plays the cello, he needs to express a feeling of sadness without being hurt, and a feeling of relief. Well, that kind of feeling of mono no aware."

Japan's mono no aware culture is actually a kind of relief when facing death, and perhaps this is why mono no aware culture is popular.

"After all, you have experienced many deaths by now, and you have personally sent them off. You have a deeper understanding of death."

Why does it sound like I killed him?

Miura Tomokazu's thoughts drifted away again.

Two "pa pa" sounds were heard.

Naoki Nagayama had to clap his hands to get Miura Tomokazu to focus:

"Tomokazu-san, don't let the cold freeze your mind! Focus!"

"Hi! Private Marseille!"

"Okay." Naoki Nagayama glanced at the crew members and saw that they were ready. "Then let's do it again!"

He always felt that this scene of true feelings might need to be shot many times because of the emotions.

"Ready.Action!"

On the hillside, the weeds of early spring have sprouted and swayed slowly in the wind. On the top of the snowy mountain in the distance, the white snow looks pure under the blue sky.

Miura Tomokazu sat on a high stool that he had brought with him at some point, and slowly played the cello piece "Memory". The gentle and soothing rhythm seemed to be commemorating the once vibrant life.

The camera lens surrounds Miura Tomokazu, recording the expression on his face and recording this moment.

However, after the song ended, Naoki Nagayama shouted:

"Cut!"

He walked forward and looked left and right at Miura Tomokazu.

"Youhe-san, you need to open your coat a little more. It's too tight now with it tied up, and I don't feel relaxed. You need to relax your body a little when you perform."

"."

Miura Tomokazu was stunned for a moment. We were in the mountains now! The temperature was less than 5 degrees! The cold wind was blowing!

I'm so cold, why do I have to open my clothes?!

Okay, okay, Naoki Nagayama, you are really going to freeze me to death, right?!

"And when you play, it's best to have a slight smile on your face," Naoki Nagayama continued, "Have you ever seen the smile of Buddha? It's compassionate and brings a sense of liberation."

OK, OK, I heard that people will laugh when they are freezing to death. You have even considered this, right?!

Although I kept complaining in my heart, this is a film set after all. The director's power is absolute and the actors have to obey:

“Hey, I’ll pay attention.”

"But." Miura Tomokazu still had some attachment to his life, "If it's too cold, it will indeed cause the blood vessels to constrict, and I won't be able to act relaxed. Naoki-san, I need to adjust my physical condition a little bit."

"No problem, how would you like to adjust it?"

".I need to exercise."

After Miura Tomokazu finished speaking, he put down the cello, stretched his body a little, and then said in front of everyone's surprised eyes,

"Wait for me a moment, I'm going to go for a run."

After saying that, he started running wildly down the hillside, as if he was running for his life.

"Ah, once you get warm from running, you'll relax."

Naoki Nagayama nodded, turned to the crew and said,

"Then let's all wait for Youhe-san. Let's warm up first."

As he spoke, he took out a thermos cup from where the supplies were stored and drank hot ginger soup with everyone.

Assistant Director Kyon Kimura asked:

"Naoki-san, if Tomokazu-san gets too hot from running, will his face turn red during the shoot?"

"It's okay. Once you stop exercising and get some wind, you'll feel better."

"But what if we can't shoot it in one take?" Kimura continued to ask, "What if we need to shoot more shots?"

"."

Naoki Nagayama paused for a moment as he looked at Tomokazu Miura's wild exercise posture.

"Then we can only let Youhe Sando run a few more times."

"."

The "Long Vacation" crew that came along also included only the lead actors Masaharu Fukuyama and Chikako Aoyama, as well as three photographers.

Most of the filming of "Long Vacation" is urban landscape, but in order to fit the name of the vacation, this trip to Hokkaido is to take some stills of scenic spots.

So they seemed more relaxed and just regarded this trip to the Snow Mountain as a vacation and a trip.

"Fukuyama-kun, come on, relax a little."

The photographer said to Masaharu Fukuyama,

"Open your arms and feel the wind. Yes, yes, yes."

When it was Chikako Aoyama's turn to shoot, she said very easily:

"Chikako-chan, give me a bright smile."

In short, the atmosphere of shooting is very relaxed, and you can stay a little longer if you come across a beautiful view.

"What a beautiful view. I'm so glad I could take Naoki-san's plane this time. Otherwise, my schedule would have been very tight."

During the break, Chikako Aoyama could vaguely see the crew filming on the hillside in the distance and exclaimed,

"I heard that Naoki-san has a special holiday home in Hokkaido, next to Lake Toya, with a sea of ​​cosmos flowers. I wonder if I can see it when I go back."

"A sea of ​​cosmos flowers?"

"Yeah." Aoyama Chikako was a little envious, "I saw it in the movie "Love Journey" starring Naoki-san and Akina Nakamori. It is praised as one of the most romantic scenes on the journey of love."

When Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori were in love, they filmed a variety show that recorded the scenery from Hokkaido to Kyoto. Now, the route they filmed has been considered by countless couples as the best route for a love trip.

Many of these places are known as love check-in spots. The sea of ​​​​cosmos flowers at Toya Lake Resort is one of them.

Fukuyama Masaharu was confused by what he heard and subconsciously looked in the direction of Nagayama Naoki, and then he saw someone running wildly over there.

"Eh? What's going on over there? It seems like someone is going crazy!"

"Nani?"

His words immediately attracted the attention of everyone here, and Aoyama Chikako also looked over.

I just happened to see a figure running around the crew and that person looked very familiar.

"Isn't that Tomokazu-san?! He's the one running!"

Chikako Aoyama raised her hand to block the sunlight, trying to see the person running, and finally confirmed that the person was Miura Tomokazu.

"Um, they should be filming, right?!"

"Then why didn't others take pictures?"

Fukuyama Masaharu was puzzled. He saw that the other people in the crew seemed to be watching the fun.

“Well, this may be the characteristic shooting method of “Departures”.”

".All right"

It was a bit sad and wild to see Miura Tomokazu running alone, while others seemed to be watching and drinking tea.

Masaharu Fukuyama did not understand this shooting method, but he respected Naoki Nagayama's shooting. At the same time, he secretly made up his mind that he would never join Naoki's crew in the future.
