Chapter 1510, page 1519: Flower Sauce, when did you learn stealth?!
The Emperor yacht docked once again in Tokyo Bay. The crew arranged resupply tasks, and a group of young people couldn't wait to disembark.
Seeing Matsuo Muneo striding excitedly toward the harbor bar, mimicking Captain Jack Sparrow's flamboyant dance moves, Naoki Nagayama immediately stopped in his tracks.
After several days at sea, constantly adjusting one's center of gravity hasn't become an instinct, but it's gotten a bit accustomed to it. I guess it will take a while to readjust when I'm on solid land.
Naoki Nagayama also warned the older director Ichikawa and others to avoid the elderly accidentally slipping and falling flat on their faces, which could seriously injure them.
"Ichikawa-san, why don't you sit for a while? If there's nothing important, you don't have to get off the ship."
He said to Ichikawa Kon on the deck,
"The boat will set sail again this afternoon!"
Their review process is only halfway complete; there's still a lot to do. This stopover for resupply is just to replenish supplies.
"Haha, you're right. Then I'll stay here and guard the ship."
Kon Ichikawa laughed, saying that at his age, there wasn't much he could do after disembarking.
"Naoki-kun is going to disembark, right?"
"Hi, my daughter came to see me."
Naoki Nagayama smiled.
"That's great!"
Looking at Naoki Nagayama's expression, Ichikawa Kon couldn't help but sigh.
After resting for a while, Naoki Nagayama walked outside the dock and took out his cell phone from his pocket. It was a Motorola Micro TAC, the smallest and lightest cellular phone on the market, and it was a flip phone.
This phone isn't even on the market yet. It's only because Tree Friends Capital bought a large number of Motorola shares and became a major shareholder that they were able to get their hands on the lab version of the new phone.
"Moses Moses. Mingcai."
Naoki Nagayama looked up at the road outside, but didn't see the familiar Rolls-Royce or Toyota Century.
Where are you?
"You'll see it soon in Qiudou Madai."
Just as Naoki Nagayama was puzzled, suddenly, something was pulled off his thigh!
Looking down, I saw Xia Hua raising her head!
"dad!!"
"Eh?! Hana-chan!"
Naoki Nagayama was extremely surprised. He bent down, picked up Natsuka, and spun her around twice.
"Hana-chan, you actually scared me secretly!"
"Hahaha~"
The little guy happily hugged Nagayama Naoki's neck and laughed non-stop.
Once things calmed down a bit, Naoki Nagayama noticed that Akina had quietly walked over from behind a nearby boat, so he naturally reached out and hugged his older child as well.
"Akina, was it you who instructed Hana-chan to do this?!"
"It's your daughter who wants to give you a surprise!"
Akina smiled and said,
"How about that? Surprised?!"
"Haha, that's a pleasant surprise indeed."
Naoki Nagayama pinched the little guy's cheek.
"But Hana-chan, when did you learn to stealth?! You walk without making a sound!"
The little guy answered proudly:
"I always want to grab Eitarou from behind and play with him, and I also want to grab Nyantaro. I'll get the hang of it eventually~"
Eitarou and Nyantaro, who were far away at Yama-oka-in, suddenly turned around alertly. Seeing that no one was around, they relaxed and continued to lie down.
After chatting with Hana and Akina for a while at the pier exit, and seeing the people coming and going around them, Naoki Nagayama decided to take the two of them to a cafe or restaurant to sit down.
However, at this moment, Akina said:
"Hana-chan has always wanted to see where Naoki-san works, so why don't we take her to the yacht to have a look?"
"Todoroki Dou?"
"Ok!"
Turning his head, Naoki Nagayama saw Hana nod and sighed. Had he only just gotten used to land and now he was going to have to get back on the ship?
"Okay. Come with me."
He led the two toward the yacht, explaining as they went:
"That's the one. It's called the Emperor."
Akina, holding Naoki Nagayama's other hand, looked at the huge, pristine white sailboat and yacht, and felt a pang of emotion.
"Watching movies on the beach from this yacht sounds like a great experience."
"It's really good at the beginning, but after a few days it gets boring."
Naoki Nagayama said,
"Outside is all sea, and the ship's entertainment facilities are relatively few and unchanging."
Xia Hua didn't find it boring at all; on the contrary, she was very excited.
Once on the gangway, he didn't ask Naoki Nagayama for help and excitedly went up by himself, then started running in the yacht's corridor.
For her, such a large ship was simply an amusement park.
Naoki Nagayama and Akina followed at a distance, still talking:
"What about the other one in the family?"
"Lotus sauce is very good. Very healthy!"
Akina paused for a moment, but still chose this word: able to eat, sleep, and roll over; even crawling a couple of steps on the carpet. In short, as long as the little one is full, there are no worries.
As for Naoki Nagayama's departure, the little guy still doesn't understand what a father really is!
"Haha~"
Naoki Nagayama laughed.
"Is she healthy? That's great! I hope she won't cry as soon as I pick her up when we get back."
"How could this be?"
Akina comforted her,
"I'll put your clothes in the crib at night, so that when Lianjiang smells your scent, she'll remember you!"
Babies can recognize people by their sense of smell!
"."
Akina's words reminded Naoki Nagayama of a joke from his past life.
Why do dogs from my hometown, which I've never seen before, wag their heads affectionately when they see me?
Because his bed is lined with your old clothes, he's been familiar with your scent since he was little, and he knows you're the most familiar yet strangely familiar family member!!
"That's a really clever approach."
As they were talking, Naoki Nagayama saw Natsuka walk to a corner, and then he heard someone exclaim:
"Where did this little kid come from?! How did he get on the ship?"
The Nagayama couple quickly stepped forward and saw Natsuka standing there, with a somewhat surprised Ichikawa Kon in front of her.
After seeing Naoki Nagayama and Akina, it seemed like they understood something.
"Private Marseille"
Naoki Nagayama took two steps forward, took Natsuka's hand, and quickly explained.
“Ichikawa-san, this is my daughter. I brought her up here because I was curious about where I work.”
Akina also came up and greeted them.
"I see!"
Kon Ichikawa nodded, then looked kindly at the little guy.
"So you're Hua Jiang!"
Xiaoxia held Naoki Nagayama's hand nervously and nodded slightly:
"Hi~ Konnichiwa~"
"Haha, good, very polite."
Kon Ichikawa smiled and nodded, then looked somewhat puzzled.
"Naoki-kun, aren't you getting off the ship?"
"Let the little guy with the duct tape take a look around first. Ichikawa-san, you..."
"I'm going to sunbathe on the deck. Don't worry about me, you guys go ahead and do your work."
"Hi~~"
After Ichikawa Kon left, Akina asked:
"Is this director Ichikawa? The director of 'The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter'?"
"Hi!"
Naoki Nagayama nodded.
"The culmination of Japanese art films."
Kon Ichikawa was a director of the same era as Akira Kurosawa. He was nominated for the Palme d'Or early on, but unfortunately, he didn't win any international awards. However, he did win a lot of Academy Awards.
But Xiaoxiahua wasn't very interested in the old man; instead, she shook Naoki Nagayama's hand.
"Dad, I want to go inside my room!"
"Okay~ It's just ahead."
Naoki Nagayama led the two children to his room, which was furnished with mahogany furniture, a small living room, and a television, much like a suite in a luxury hotel.
Xiaoxia wandered around the room, finally looking out from the balcony at the gently rippling seawater, seemingly looking for fish. Meanwhile, Akina helped fold the clothes in the dryer.
"Naoki-san, how much longer will the review process take?"
"It'll probably take another ten days!"
Naoki Nagayama shrugged.
"Right now we're in the stage of watching movies and writing reviews. It will probably take even longer to reach the final evaluation stage."
Filmmakers of this era are more or less temperamental and individualistic, and they will naturally do their best to fight for the films they like. Naoki Nagayama cannot make a decision on his own.
"Then we'll vote."
"Haha, in the end, it all comes down to who can convince the other judges."
"."
The editing room is located on the third floor of the Tree Friends Building.
As Nishimoto Tomoyuki walked by, he happened to see Kijima Kyō walking out, and then he realized with a start that he hadn't paid attention to the editing of "Fast & Furious" for a long time!
Sure enough, after the mission was handed over to Kijima, the mission's presence became less noticeable!
"Ahem. Kijima-san."
Nishimoto Tomoyuki looked at Kijima Kyō, who had come out for a smoke, and asked somewhat embarrassedly,
"I've been busy with the preparations for 'Sorry, I Love You' these past few days and haven't had time to check on how the editing is going! Are there any problems?"
Kijima, on the other hand, seemed completely unperturbed and not in a hurry at all.
"Naoki-san completed the initial pruning before leaving. Now I'm just doing the fine pruning. I'm very skilled at this, so there won't be any problems!"
"By the way, what's that Matsuo Muneo doing, hanging around on the yacht?"
Kijima originally thought that the three of them would stay to guard the house, but Nishimoto Tomoyuki started preparing for a new TV series, and Matsuo Muneo didn't come back either, leaving him alone to edit the footage.
Despite having several intern assistants, Kijima Kyō felt utterly alone!
"Him."
Nishimoto Banyuki shrugged.
"I guess she wants to get some exposure on the judging panel and make some connections!"
Indeed, the jury of the Tokyo International Film Festival consists almost entirely of big names in the film industry. Gathering in one place for more than ten days makes it easy to get to know people.
"Ha, this guy~"
Kijima shook his head; he had long since given up on the idea of building connections!
"Alright, Nishimoto-kun, how's the preparation for your TV series going?"
"It's going very smoothly. We've already had our first meeting, and then we'll be reading the script."
Nishimoto Tomoyuki was full of energy.
"I plan to hold the launch ceremony at the end of the month!"
"The end of the month? Aren't you waiting for Naoki-san to come back?"
"I won't wait any longer. Naoki-san said he hoped this drama would be released soon."
Nishimoto Banyuki said,
"So I'm working hard too!"
Okay~
Seeing this, Kijima Kyō didn't say much, but reminded Nishimoto Bansuke to communicate well with the people at Fuji Television to avoid any gaps in the publicity.
After Nishimoto Tomoyuki left, Kijima Kyō stubbed out his cigarette.
"Speaking of which, shouldn't we edit out the trailer for 'Fast & Furious'? After all, it's going to be released at the end of the year!"
"I might as well take this opportunity to cut off a branch and surprise Naoki-san when he comes back!"
Thinking of this, Kijima seemed to regain his spirits and returned to the editing room with great enthusiasm:
"Guys, let's edit the trailer!!"
At the same time, Takeshi Kitano also led his film production crew to Kyoto.
"Alright, this is the last set!"
With a lot of rushing, Takeshi Kitano's filming has finally come to an end. The scale of "Ford v Ferrari" is relatively small, so the filming went relatively smoothly.
I heard that Kinji Fukasaku at Toyota is still preparing for the All Japan GT Championship. That's a big event that requires hiring a lot of professional teams and a lot of rehearsals.
"Masahiro Motoki, here you will be crowned the King of Underground Cars!!"
Hearing these somewhat chuunibyou lines, Masahiro Motoki rolled his eyes helplessly. He was already used to Takeshi Kitano's occasional frivolity.
However, the ring gangs in Kyoto are indeed one of the birthplaces of Japan's underground street racing scene.
Just then, the assistant director arrived with Hidekazu Umeda, the captain of the ring-shaped triad cycling team they had arranged, and they began chatting with Takeshi Kitano:
"Why are so many people making movies about underground racing this year? Even the famous Naoki Nagayama filmed one on the loop line a month ago."
"Oh?"
Takeshi Kitano immediately became curious.
How was Naoki Nagayama filmed?
"Yongshan sang him"
Recalling the filming locations for Naoki Nagayama, Hidekazu Umeda remarked,
"They brought a large convoy of dozens of people, several modified luxury cars, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and specially modified filming vans. They were racing right on the loop road!!"
"It was filmed on real, real-life conditions. There were even rival convoys coming to challenge us. One actor was almost pulled out of a car window."
"The scene was truly grand and exciting! It even alerted the police!"
As he spoke, he looked at the film crew that Takeshi Kitano had brought. There were no more than twenty people, and not much filming equipment. They had a few ordinary General Motors cars, and the only luxury car they had was just a bit more spacious inside. It looked shabby no matter how you looked at it!
"It would be a bit difficult for Director Kitano to learn this!"
"."
Such a subtle expression of contempt left both Takeshi Kitano and Masahiro Motoki speechless. However, Kitano, being the thicker-skinned one,...
"Haha, we never intended to compare ourselves to Naoki-san!"
"We want to create films that have their own unique characteristics!"
He said to Hidekazu Umeda:
"We hope to film the internal conflicts within the Ringed Clan, focusing on the characters' inner changes. The car chases only need to be filmed in certain scenes at specific times."
"For example, how does the ultimate winner of the ring race celebrate? How is the strongest rider, as recognized by the community, selected?"
"Hahaha, a selection process?!"
Hidekazu Umeda laughed, waving his arm as he spoke.
"The best drivers in the racing world are always those who prove themselves through racing!!"
"If you outrun your opponent and escape from the police car, you're the strongest!!"
Takeshi Kitano asked in confusion:
"Uh, you mean if I were to film 'The Speed King,' I'd need to race a police car?!"
"This isn't a race. The cops are after you!! A dozen cars have surrounded and blocked one of your vehicles!!!"
Hidekazu Umeda's tone became agitated.
"You have to slip through the gaps before they can encircle you, shake off the pursuing police cars, and return to base unscathed to be considered the strongest!"
"This is a European model series!"
Takeshi Kitano narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly very interested in this news! He wanted to recreate this scene!
"But where are we going to find a dozen or so police cars?"
"."
Masahiro Motoki looked at Takeshi Kitano with some fear.
"Kitano-san, you're not actually thinking of having the police arrest me, are you?!"
He came here to film a movie; he never imagined he'd actually become a wanted criminal!
"Hahaha, how could that be!"
Takeshi Kitano rolled his eyes.
"Even if I wanted to, you don't have the driving skills to get out of the encirclement!"
"."
To be honest, Masahiro Motoki breathed a sigh of relief!
"Therefore, we need to give them advance notice."
Takeshi Kitano stroked his chin, wondering if General Motors had any influence with the Kyoto police system.
