Tokyo bubble life

People who wake up naturally usually open their eyes suddenly after a certain period of time.

It was like it suddenly turned on with a "buzz".

When Naoki Nagayama woke up in the morning, he found himself on one side of the bed separated by a pillow, while Akina was lying on her side, hugging her baby gently.

The result of the two people secretly going out on a date was that Xia Hua cried for a long time when she came back at night, and even had to be held in Ming Cai's arms before she could sleep.

Looking at the sleeping Akina and Xiao Xiahua, Naoki Nagayama sighed inexplicably:

"Raising a child is too troublesome~"

It takes time and energy, and you will marry into someone else's family in the future.

Akina didn't have any work to do today, so Naoki Nagayama didn't disturb her. She quietly got up, washed up, and went straight to the first floor.

The nanny has already prepared porridge and breakfast in the kitchen. When Akina wants to cook for herself, she will tell Nonaka Mari in advance.

"Good morning, Naoki-san~"

"Mrs. Moli is early"

"Hey, isn't Akina-san awake yet?"

"Akina doesn't have work today, let her sleep a little longer."

"So Naoki-san is having breakfast now?"

"Hi"

After a normal conversation, Mari Nonaka began to serve breakfast in portions and brought them to the dining table.

"Aren't there paparazzi waiting outside the Japanese TV station?"

In fact, of course there were, but Naoki Nagayama's Rolls-Royce Silver Thor rarely appeared, and the paparazzi did not recognize it as his car, so they did not raise their cameras at the first time.

Moreover, at night, the silver car body was reflecting light very fast, and it was difficult to see who was sitting inside.

"But why would I feel a little disappointed if there is no report?"

Naoki Nagayama is actually a bit of a crowd pleaser and craves attention, but he will never admit it.

While I was reading the newspaper and eating breakfast, the butler Ah Fu, who was always in the front hall, came over:

"Naoki-san, here's an invitation!"

"? Invitation?"

Naoki Nagayama took it with curiosity, and was also very surprised. In this day and age, there are still such ancient things?

"Hi"

Naoki Nagayama opened the invitation sealed with gold-stamped paper.

“Concert Party Dinner”

Naoki Nagayama was a little surprised when he saw the invitation. This was a diplomatic event, a banquet to welcome the Spanish princess.

Originally, the Princess of Spain planned to come to Tokyo in October, but at that time the Tokyo International Film Festival was in full swing and the personnel coming to Tokyo were complicated, so the visit was postponed to November.

“Why did you invite me?”

In fact, because he rarely participates in social activities, Naoki Nagayama is not very clear about his own fame and status.

He is not only a great writer who has won the Naoki Prize and many best-selling novels, but also a well-known film director who has won international awards. He also has outstanding achievements in music and other fields. In ancient times, he would have been a celebrity whose reputation was known to all princes.

In Neon, he was also treated with courtesy by the nobles, just like Kiba Sadanaga of the Ministry of Education and Culture and Ikebana Yasuko of the Ikebana family, who both highly valued Naoki Nagayama.

"Naoki-san"'s butler Alfred was considered an upper-class butler before, and he was very familiar with these social activities. "This party seems to be a blind date using the Spanish princess as an excuse."

"???"

"Crown Prince Naruhito is already 25 years old. After returning from studying in the UK, marriage has become the top priority of the Imperial Household Agency," Alfredo said. "I heard that someone recommended a candidate princess to the Imperial Household Agency a few months ago."

In Japan, the marriage of a prince is usually arranged through blind dates. The old aristocrats and political families recommend candidates for princess to the Imperial Household Agency, and then they find an occasion for the blind date. After they feel that it is ok, they formally date and then get married. Most of them are political marriages.

Of course, the prince must have had love affairs before, but those lovers were not recognized by the Imperial Household Agency. At most, they were just lovers. Those guys in the Imperial Household Agency are all brain-damaged feudal remnants.

".Uh. The Crown Prince is choosing a concubine? Then why invite me?" Nagayama Naoki was speechless, "Isn't the Imperial Household Agency afraid that I will snatch the future emperor's wife?"

".!!"

The butler Ah Fu was stunned for a moment by these outrageous words. In semi-feudal Japan, it was rare to find someone who dared to make such a joke.

However, the butler looked at Naoki Nagayama who was thinking and had to nod his head. If Naoki Nagayama went over, he would probably steal the prince's limelight.

Moreover, Naoki Nagayama is handsome, talented, rich, and has status, and he doesn't have the strict and red tape of the royal family. Any girl would definitely choose him!

"I think Naoki-san is already married, right?"

"Forehead"

This doesn't affect my charm! Many girls like married men. Being a caring man is a plus!

"Alfred," Naoki Nagayama gently waved the invitation, "Do you think I should attend this concert?"

"Well, that depends entirely on Naoki-san's opinion," Alfred said. "If you don't want to go, just make up an excuse. I'll write a letter to the Imperial Household Agency to reply."

"Okay, let me think about it."

Naoki Nagayama himself has no interest in this kind of social party. However, Shizuoka is now preparing to support a parliamentary member, and his friends are also planning to set up the Tokyo Film Association, both of which require connections with higher-ups.

Even the world's richest man in the United States was forced to join politics to protect himself. Naoki Nagayama also knew that if he wanted to develop further, he would need political asylum.

"There is no business without politics. For the sake of the Yongshan family's century-long plan, do I have to step into the evil political arena?!"

Fortunately, the housekeeper had left, otherwise I might have rolled my eyes after listening to the strange words of my boss.

This time when he arrived at the Shuyou Building, Naoki Nagayama did not go to the editing room first, but went to Yoshimura Otomo's office on the top floor.

"Naoki-san?"

There were bloodshot eyes in Yoshimura Otomo's eyes, and it was obvious that he had been drinking again last night.

"Why are you here?"

"Otomo-san." Naoki Nagayama invited Yoshimura Otomo to sit on the sofa, and started to boil water to make tea. "I want to discuss something with you."

"What are you doing? So mysterious."

It was not until Yoshimura Otomo came over that Nagayama Naoki told him what happened in the morning.

"Have you been invited to the dinner?!" As an older purebred Japanese, Yoshimura Otomo was very envious of being invited by the royal family. "Of course I should go. Why not?! This is an honor!"

He can't even ask to be invited!

"But if I go to this kind of blind date party..."

"It doesn't matter!" Yoshimura Otomo said directly, "This kind of blind date banquet will probably be held more than a dozen times in the future. The prince of the Japanese royal family is a very independent person. I guess he doesn't like those daughters of officials."

"ah?"

"Naoki-san, have you forgotten? Just a while ago," Yoshimura Daiyou seemed to be in high spirits and began to chatter away, "During Kashiwahara Yoshie's 7th anniversary solo concert, Prince Naruhito went to the scene and gave Kashiwahara Yoshie a rose!"

"Ah, this matter."

It has always been said that Kashiwahara Yoshie is liked by the royal heir, and it can be said that she actually admitted this at her previous solo concert.

It caused a big sensation at that time, and even Naoki Nagayama, who was on vacation at Hongyuyuan and didn't answer the phone, knew about it. And Kashiwahara Yoshie's "royal idol" was confirmed!

"Our crown prince grew up under the influence of Western culture, which is different from the past." Yoshimura Otomo took a sip of tea, "Maybe the Imperial Household Agency felt that the crown prince might marry an idol artist, so they hurriedly arranged a blind date for him!"

“Hahaha, that’s indeed a possibility.”

As the heir to the throne, if he really married an artist, then the most feudal and stubborn Japanese royal family in the world would probably have to commit hara-kiri collectively to atone for their sins.

"So this is just a prelude. If there is no suitable one, it will probably continue to be held."

Yoshimura Otomo said,

"As for Naoki-san, don't worry. Those young ladies from official families must have received instructions from their families and will not act arbitrarily."

"Haha, that's good~"

Naoki Nagayama breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

The morning sunlight shone through the window, adding a layer of filter to Naoki Nagayama, making him as handsome as a prince in a story.

"Besides, Naoki-san is already married, so it should be better."

Yoshimura Otomo, who was speaking, looked at Nagayama Naoki's face and was a little uncertain about what he had just said. Fruits were thrown into the car, and jade egrets fell into his arms. Sometimes, women's pursuit of handsome men is more crazy than men's pursuit of beautiful women.

"Yes, I will go with Akina this time."

"Is the concert mainly to welcome the Spanish princess? Naoki-san, do you know her?" Daitomo Yoshimura asked curiously.

Naoki Nagayama shook his head: "There are not those princesses in Europe, but there are too many. I am not a noble who has studied it, how can I know all of them?"

There are dozens or even hundreds of countries, large and small, in Europe, and almost every country has a royal family, whose genealogy is so complex that only professional scholars can distinguish it. Maybe someone walking on the street is the king's aunt or uncle.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The one that Naoki Nagayama has a deeper impression of is Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom, after all, she is the queen with the longest stay in office. There is also a royal member who left a deep impression on people, Princess Diana.

The second one is naturally the Japanese royal family. After all, they are too famous for recruiting nuclear men and Heisei losers, and there are also various weird news about the future royal family.

"Then this time, the main purpose is to make some connections with the upper class."

Naoki Naoyama nodded and said:

"If our Shuyou Group needs to continue to expand, and for various other things, we will also need some connections to protect us."

“That’s true!”

After talking about the invitation for a while, Naoki Nagayama suddenly asked about Idou Shuichi:

"What is Shuichi-san doing? It feels like I haven't seen him in days."

"We are still discussing with representatives of the film industry." Yoshimura Otomo sighed, "It is very difficult to set up the Tokyo Film Association~"

"Why is it difficult?"

"Establishing a film association means that the Directors Association, Producers Association, Screenwriters Association, Actors Association, and even the Cameramen Association, Journalists Association, etc., will have to compromise to some extent. There are too many groups involved and the resistance is too great!"

Yoshimura Otomo sighed,

"Xiuyi-san may have some reputation in the Directors Guild and the Producers Guild, but in other aspects..."

“I see.”

Naoki Nagayama nodded. There was no rush to set up a film association.

"The establishment of this kind of industry association should have been done from the top down."

"Hi~~"

After chatting for a long time in Yoshimura Otomo's office, Naoki Nagayama returned to the editing room.

"Naoki-san," Kyon said excitedly, "The clips we were asked to choose have been completed."

"Oh? Let me see."

After hearing this, Naoki Nagayama immediately started checking.

The promotion of "Ghost" is rolling out. In addition to posters, brochures and other materials, it is time to release the first trailer.

"We chose a plot where the male protagonist dies unexpectedly and becomes a ghost and discovers that his best friend has betrayed him."

Kijima Kyon said,

“This way the first trailer has a sense of suspense.”

Naoki Nagayama nodded: "In that case, the second episode is more inclined towards the love story?"

"Yes." Nishimoto Banyuki next to him also said, "And the first one can just use Robert's special effects lens."

"Through the bed in the hospital?"

"Yes!"

After checking several copies of the materials, Naoki Naoyama nodded:

"Then let's get started and try to release this trailer in early December!"

"Hi!"

While Naoki Nagayama was editing the film diligently, in a villa in Setagaya, Owada Hisashi, Director of the Treaty Bureau of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was talking to his daughter.

"Masako, being admitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs doesn't mean anything." Owada Hisashi said earnestly, "This is just a starting point. You must be more careful in what you say and do in the future."

"Okay, okay, I got it!"

Masako Owada is a top student who graduated from Harvard. She is young and full of enthusiasm.

"I will definitely perform well at this reception dinner!"

She is a career-oriented woman whose ideal is to become an outstanding diplomat traveling around the world.

Her father, Owada Tsune, is also deeply influenced by Western culture and is very supportive of his daughter's ideals. However, as a government official, he naturally has some constraints, such as knowing that this is a blind date event.

On the one hand, he hoped that his daughter could become a future princess, because that could help his career; on the other hand, he also hoped that his daughter could make her own choices and fulfill her dreams instead of marrying into a stubborn and conservative royal family.

So, it's very tangled.

"Don't be too nervous when you meet Prince Naruhito and Princess Elena at the banquet. They are both about your age and were brought up with Western education."

"Hey, I know!"

Masako held up a dress and fluttered it in front of the mirror. She was choosing an outfit to wear to a dinner party.

Suddenly, she paused:

"By the way, father. I heard that Naoki Nagayama was invited to this banquet?"

"!!!"

The key words were triggered, and a beeping sound suddenly started in Owada Heng's mind!

Level 1 alert! Level 1 alert!

"Yes, yes," Owada Tsune nodded, "After all, Nagayama Naoki is a celebrity among the younger generation. He is also famous abroad. The Imperial Household Agency may want to introduce him to the Spanish princess."

"I haven't met Naoki Nagayama yet!" Masako was very curious. People of her age had naturally talked about this legendary figure when chatting with him. "I heard that he can write a song in just five minutes!"

".The rumors are inevitably exaggerated," said Owada Hisashi, "but he is indeed talented!"

"Of course. After all, he won the Naoki Prize and made so many well-known movies. My favorite one is Love Letter! It turns out that movies adapted from novels need to be made by the original author to be good!"

“.”

Seeing his daughter's eyes light up when she talked about Naoki Nagayama, Owada Hisashi's thoughts had to develop in the worst direction.

What if my daughter falls in love with Naoki Nagayama? That guy is very handsome!

What if an illicit relationship develops? That guy is married!

Even more tragically, what if your own daughter is played with and gives birth to a child? !

“Cough cough cough!”

Owada Hisashi coughed heavily and said to his daughter seriously,

"Masako Nagayama Naoki is already married! You don't stand a chance!"

".Huh?"

Owada Masako was confused. She was just asking out of curiosity, so how come she didn't have the chance? !
