Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 1550, Chapter 1559: Takeno-kun, all I want now is your body!!!

Tokyo's media had just reported the Cabinet Secretariat's criticism of "Fast & Furious" the night before, and the very next day, newspapers were filled with news of "Prime Minister Attends Grand Celebration of Cultural Nation-Building Strategy, Shuyou Subscribes to 100 Billion Yen in National Bonds!"

Some newspapers that only publish morning news even reported both news items together!

"What on earth is going on?!" "How can they be praising while simultaneously criticizing?"

In this era, there weren't many forms of entertainment, and reading newspapers was one of the most important. Founding a government was also a source of joy for many, but some skilled strategists discovered its blind spots.

"Could it be that Naoki Nagayama received a trillion yen after being criticized? That's unlikely." "The 'Aoba-kai' that follows is clearly a faction supported by Naoki's fans!"

"Naoki Nagayama should be a man of principle; if he gets insulted, he definitely won't pay!"

"Maybe...maybe Naoki Nagayama is tough on the outside but soft on the inside?!"

"We're talking politics, so be careful."

"Huh? I was just talking about politics!"

"."

As everyone knows, the establishment of a regime will eventually turn in the direction of yellow (prosperity). Soon, the focus of discussion shifted from the victory celebration to the latest moves of "Neon Voice".

"What do you think is the difference between that popularity chart and the past rankings of most popular idols?"

"I think that ranking is based on sales volume, right? And it's only done once a year!"

"What about this one?"

"It seems to have started with 'Neon Voice,' with regular updates that continued until the show ended. It was even linked to the teams' performance."

"Should we go and support His Highness the Holy Son?"

"Huh? You're actually a member of the Holy Son faction? You heretic!! Get lost!"

"."

During the bubble economy era, daily life in Tokyo began with such cheerful discussions.

At this time, almost everyone was immersed in the atmosphere that "the stock market will keep rising, land prices will keep increasing, and life will keep getting better." Every day, they were thinking about how to make life more interesting and better.

Just like in the Yama-oka-in area right now.

"Naoki-san, aren't you going to the company today?"

Akina finished preparing breakfast and asked Naoki Nagayama, who was wiping Natsuka's mouth, what was going on.

"Don't go!"

Naoki Nagayama shook his head; all this backstabbing and infighting was getting on his nerves.

"I've finished all the work I needed to do, and it's almost the end of the year. Can't I even take a break?"

"I'm going to stay home and spend some quality time with Hua Jiang today!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxia's face immediately lit up with a smile, and her small body pressed against Naoki Nagayama:

"Yes, we should spend more time with Hana-chan!!"

Naoki Nagayama nodded indulgently, then turned to see little Ren sitting in her high chair, and added:

"And lotus sauce~"

Akina listened to the pause between the two names and felt a little helpless. Naoki-san really does prefer his daughter!

Okay~

"Is Akina also going to record a program today?"

"Hi!"

Akina felt somewhat helpless. After initially compiling the popularity rankings, there were many scenes that needed to be reshot, and "The Voice of the Neon" was already in its later stages of filming.

"There are many announcements at the end of the year, and it is troublesome to coordinate the schedule, so I try to record as much material as possible each time."

"Too."

Naoki Nagayama nodded, but fortunately Akina didn't participate in the Kohaku Uta Gassen or the Japan Record Awards this year, so she was free during the Lunar New Year.

Before leaving home, Akina and Nonaka Mari had a discussion. After all, Naoki-san was a bit careless, and the baby needed someone more attentive to remind him when to drink water.

Have a safe trip!

Standing next to Hana-chan, waving goodbye, the scene was somewhat amusing.

However, after Akina left, Nagayama Naoki and Hana-chan started patrolling around Yamazakura-in like mountain kings.

"Nyantaro can't just lie around all day, or he'll get so fat he won't be able to walk!"

"Ying Tailang"

Seeing the sycophant approaching, Hana grabbed his wagging, thick tail.

"Stop wagging your tail, it hurts if it hits you!!"

"Hey~"

The dog could only rub its head against Naoki Nagayama's leg to beg its owner for help.

"Haha-chan, this is Eitaro's instinct, there's nothing we can do about it!"

Naoki Nagayama, of course, wouldn't make things too difficult for the dog, so he bent down and picked up Hana-chan.

"Alright, let's go check on the goldfish that Huajiang raised and see if they've grown!"

I previously set up a small fish tank for Huajiang and placed it next to the fish tank wall on the east side. It contained small red fish that I caught at the temple fair, and now they are all living very leisurely in the temperature-controlled tank.

Meanwhile, Nagayama Ren, still in the baby chair, looked left and right, seemingly stunned.

We haven't even been together yet! Have you forgotten me?!

Fortunately, Nonaka Mari quickly came over and picked up the little one:

"Oh dear. Lianjiang is getting heavier and heavier. Why are you here all alone?"

"Where are Naoki-san and Hana-chan? Has Naoki-san forgotten he has a child?! Honestly."

Regarding Naoki Nagayama's situation, Mari Nonaka didn't know what to say, but perhaps it's just a matter of the child growing up.

At that moment, Naoki Nagayama and Hana-chan, who were looking at the little red fish in the fish tank, suddenly exchanged a glance:

"Huajiang, have we forgotten something?!"

"What?!"

Naoki Nagayama quickly put the little guy down, turned and walked towards the corridor, then swiftly took out a bag of fish food from the cabinet!

"What should I feed the fish when I'm looking after them?"

"Yeah, yeah!!"

Xia Hua nodded in agreement.

"Dad, give me some."

"it is good!"

Despite the cold wind, filming in Daejeon-gu continued uninterrupted.

The filming of "I'm Sorry, I Love You" has reached its most crucial and heart-wrenching stage. Nishimoto Banyuki stares intently at the performances on set with a serious expression.

Meanwhile, on the long staircase platform at the subway entrance, Rie Miyazawa was performing her final confession scene.

"I'll be here tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, and the day after that too."

Rie Miyazawa and Yutaka Takenouchi started speaking with calm expressions, but then their demeanor began to change, as if the emotions hidden deep within them could no longer be suppressed.

"I am not a reed that you can push around at will!"

"I also have expectations, hopes, and aspirations."

"I'm a person with feelings just like you!!"

"Don't you know? I'm just a human being like you!!"

As she spoke, Rie Miyazawa's voice began to tremble, and her eyes reddened slightly.

"I love you!"

I love you, I love you.

"I love you, Uncle!!"

Then his eyes began to fill with tears, his voice became more urgent and hoarse, and then his voice began to tremble more and more!

"I love you!"

"I love you!!"

"I love you!!!"

Tears streamed down her face like raindrops. Rie Miyazawa kept repeating "I love you," her voice trembling with sobs, as if this was no longer a declaration of love, but rather a blatant exposé of her innermost feelings for the person opposite her!

I love you, I love you, I love you so much.

"I love you, Uncle."

In the end, it seemed as if all the strength in her body had been released with each "I love you," and Rie Miyazawa knelt helplessly on the cold steps, sobbing uncontrollably.

At this moment, everyone in the crew had tears in their eyes, deeply moved by this scene. Only the deepest love could evoke such sorrow and emotion!

The reason why this drama is called "Sorry, I Love You" has become clear at this moment!

This is an emotion that cannot be forgotten, shaken, or severed; it is a love that, even knowing the final outcome, is like a moth drawn to a flame!

Of course, at this moment, the other members of the crew looked at Takenouchi Yutaka opposite Miyazawa Rie with murderous intent in their eyes!

It's all because of this guy that our Rie is so heartbroken!!

At this moment, director Tomonori Nishimoto shouted through a megaphone:

"Click!!!"

"Rie-chan is great!! This gradual emotional outburst is excellent!"

He went over and gently helped up Rie Miyazawa, who was still immersed in her emotions and sobbing.

"Rie-chan, go calm down first."

"Um"

At this moment, Rie Miyazawa was not in the mood to speak and quickly went to her seat with the help of her assistant.

Then Nishimoto Tomoyuki looked at Takenouchi Yutaka, who had been standing there:

"Takeno-kun"

"Your performance just now was a little lacking!"

"Forehead"

Takenouchi Yutaka was somewhat helpless. It was Nishimoto Tomoyuki who said that he only needed to play a wooden stake in this scene!

As long as Rie Miyazawa can perform at her best.

Because the content of this scene is actually that Takenouchi Yutaka needs to sever the emotional connection between the two, so he needs to maintain a cold demeanor.

Even if you need to stay calm, your eyes still need to be expressive!

"You need to have that feeling of having a million emotions churning inside, but you can't show it on your face!!"

"You need to have that kind of look in your eyes that lets others see your poker face and know that you're experiencing tremendous shock and torment inside!!"

"."

Listening to Nishimoto Tomoyuki's explanation, Takenouchi Yutaka became increasingly helpless. In the end, all he could say was, "I can't do it!"

This kind of acting skill is enough to compete for the best eye acting in film and television!

"Cough cough."

Yutaka Takenouchi said quite frankly,

"If you put it that way, Mr. Nishimoto, I still don't quite understand how to act."

"."

Hearing this, Nishimoto Banyuki sighed. After all, he was just an actor who had just transitioned from modeling, and such demands were indeed too high!

But since I found these actors myself, I have to accept it no matter what!

At this moment, Nishimoto Tomoyuki thought of Nagayama Naoki. How would Naoki-san handle such an inexperienced actor?!

The story of the "Recording Studio Demon King" came to mind, along with Naoki Nagayama's actions on set.

"I want Takenouchi Yutaka's body, not his emotions!!"

"As long as I perform the way I need him to be through my body and facial expressions, it doesn't really matter what he's really thinking inside!!"

"So, how can I make him feel torment from the bottom of his heart?!"

Nishimoto Tomoyuki crossed his arms and began to ponder. Suddenly, he looked around the film set.

"That...that thing!!"

"Stagehand!! Go find me an onion!!"

"what?!"

The stagehand was taken aback when he heard this.

"Onions? Are we making a dish?"

"Are you hungry? Why are you cooking?!"

Nishimoto Tomoyuki rebuked him.

"Go find it for me right now!!"

The filming location is so huge, it seems there really isn't a fresh food market. Looks like we'll have to look in the kitchen and restaurant!

"Um, I'll go look in the restaurant kitchen."

"Onions or chili peppers will also work!!"

"Hi~~"

Hearing this, Takenouchi Yutaka, who was standing next to him, felt a chill in his heart for some reason!

Autumn Beans are stuffing onions and chili peppers... could they be used on me?!

A few minutes later.

In the staircase scene at the subway entrance, only Yutaka Takenouchi remains.

Meanwhile, Rie Miyazawa had already composed herself, and with her still red and swollen eyes, she looked at Yutaka Takenouchi in front of the camera with a rather sarcastic expression.

"Takeno-kun, goddamn daddy!!"

"."

What a gloating little girl!

Looking at the onion slices in his hand, Takenouchi Yutaka's face contorted in embarrassment. Nishimoto Tomoyuki had just instructed him to use onions to stimulate his tear ducts during the performance, while also keeping chili flakes in his mouth.

But he was required not to cry and to maintain a blank expression throughout!

"This is what it feels like to endure severe torture and a major shock!!"

Nishimoto Banyuki said,

"Even if Takeno-kun's acting is too raw and he can't express those emotions, as long as his body can express them, it's the same!!"

"."

Takenouchi Yutaka's face turned bitter.

"Nishimoto-san, I think my acting skills can still be salvaged!"

"No need!! I only want your body now!!"

Nishimoto Tomoyuki instructed the crew on preparations, then spoke to Takenouchi Yutaka.

"Takeno-kun, good luck. Get it in one take!!! Otherwise, there'll be a whole basket of onions and peppers left!!"

The production assistant thought the director was going to use it for something important, so he just grabbed a basket from the kitchen!

"On your marks. Get set. Action!!!"

After the director called out "All," Takenouchi Yutaka put a chili flake in his mouth and then rubbed an onion on his eyelids.

At that moment, a burning sensation began to rise in his mouth, and his eyes stung at the same time. He felt as if his mouth, eyes, and nose were undergoing unbearable torment!

But at this crucial moment, he couldn't speak! He couldn't make any expressions! He could only stare at the opposite wall. It wouldn't be appropriate for Rie Miyazawa to be on the other side at this time, for fear she'd laugh out loud.

As time passed, Takenouchi Yutaka's lips tightened, and veins bulged on his forehead. Then his eyes reddened, and tears welled up in them. But he bravely refused to let them fall!

In the end, his whole body was tense, as if he was suffering from immense torment and emotional turmoil.

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, the same amount of time spent sitting on a fireplace and sitting next to a beautiful woman takes different amounts of time.

So, in Takenouchi Yutaka's mind, an hour had already passed!

Until the very end.

"Crack!!"

Nishimoto Tomoyuki finally shouted "Click!"

After taking a bite, Takenouchi Yutaka immediately spat out the chili pepper, then began wiping his eyes and finally cried to the production assistant:

"These chilies are definitely from Sichuan!!! They're so spicy!!!"

"Forehead"

The stagehand scratched his cheek.

"It seems like I'm making Mapo Tofu today."

"Hahaha~"

Everyone else laughed, but Takenouchi Yutaka was still rinsing his mouth and spitting.

"Haha, well done!"

Nishimoto Banyuki said,

"That expression just now is definitely enough footage for a minute, which can be edited into three layers."

"Only one minute?"

"if not?"

"I thought an hour had passed!!"

Haha~

The crew gradually relaxed, and the scene was finally over!

The stagehands were speechless, looking at the remaining onions and peppers. What were they going to do with them?

How about we buy some meat, skewer it, and make some barbecue skewers?
