...

In addition to being an actor, Takeshi Kitano's current main occupation is as a comedian. He basically works every day, just like an ordinary part-time worker.

So Naoki Nagayama can just send the job announcement directly to his agency, and then he will have to come obediently to attend the production disclosure meeting... otherwise his salary will be deducted!

But Yuko Tanaka is different. Since the release of "Amagiyama Mystery" and "Oshin" last year, she also wanted to take a break. So far this year, she has only accepted one movie, called "Yasha".

Other directors usually take more than half a year to shoot a movie. If you meet a special director, even the scenery in the movie must correspond one-to-one with reality, then it will take even longer.

"Yaksha" is still waiting for the arrival of winter. For the time being, Tanaka Yuko is practicing while preparing.

Therefore, if you want to notify Yuko Tanaka, you still have to meet in person.

"So Yuko-san, do you have time to come out and meet me?" Nagayama Naoki asked in a friendly voice on the phone, "About the publicity matters, and the filming of "Kikujiro's Summer" will be filming soon.

Although it’s not much, we still need to communicate.”

"But...it's very risky to go out and meet Naoki-san now!" Yuko Tanaka's voice on the phone seemed to be suppressing a smile, "Being photographed with the 'romantic Naoki',

It will definitely make the entertainment headlines again~"

"..."

It’s really shameful that this new nickname is said in front of others!

"Please Yuko-san, don't make fun of me~" Naoki Nagayama sighed and said, "I really never thought there would be such a title..."

"Hahaha~ Who told you to always do surprising things~" Tanaka Yuko smiled, and then said, "There is a risk of being photographed when you go out, so why not come to my house~ The address is...

"

"??"

Nagayama Naoki was stunned. In order to prevent others from being photographed by the scandal, he came directly to his home to meet... This operation...

"Do you remember the address?" Yuko Tanaka asked on the phone.

"I remember it until I remember it..."

"That's ok~ ring the doorbell when we get there~"

"....Hi~"

Nagayama Naoki nodded honestly and agreed. In fact, visiting a good friend's home is a very common thing, right?

What he was actually hesitating about was whether to buy some gifts or something...

........

........

In Seguda's luxury residential area, many celebrities and wealthy people own residences here. The already successful Tanaka Yuko naturally bought a small one-family house here.

Due to work reasons, I usually rest here when I am not in Osaka.

Ding dong~

Nagayama Naoki parked the car on the parking lot at the door and rang the doorbell. Soon, Tanaka Yuko, wearing homely loose clothes, opened the door.

"Naoki-san, you're here~" A happy smile appeared on her delicate face, and her impressive single-lidded eyes were curved and full of smiles.

"Hi! Excuse me~~~" Nagayama Naoki walked into the entrance and put on slippers, and handed over the gift bag in his hand, "This is a gift~~"

"Huh? Naoki-san actually brought a gift? What is it?" Tanaka Yuko took it in surprise.

"It's Matsuzaki Pancake. I bought it when I passed by Ginza~" Nagayama Naoki followed the owner and walked into the house, looking at the room curiously.

It is a bit different from the mature lady style in Tanaka Yuko's impression. The furnishings of the entire house are in plain colors, with extensive use of cotton and plush furniture. It looks warm and cute at the same time... More like

It's a girl's house.

"Oh? Naoki-san really put in the effort~ Let's just use this pancake as tea!" Tanaka Yuko said with a smile.

He found Naoki Nagayama looking at the house, so he started to introduce:

"Actually, I just moved here this year... I used to live in an apartment in the city center." Tanaka Yuko said with a smile, "This house was bought with a loan..."

Are national actors also house slaves?

"No way, Yuko-san can't afford a house with his income?" Naoki Nagayama couldn't believe it.

"We actors are not producers or screenwriters, so how can we earn so much income!"

Neon actors are paid according to the series, and there is generally no box office share afterward... In addition, the actor's remuneration is not high, so even if Tanaka Yuko is famous, it can only be regarded as a little money.

, not the wealthy kind.

As her seniority and fame increase, in addition to film remuneration, she also earns money from endorsements and advertisements, which is the bulk of the money. However, Tanaka Yuko has not taken on too many side jobs yet.

While chatting, Yuko Tanaka made hot tea for Naoki Nagayama... In such a hot weather, drinking hot tea with the air conditioner blowing on can only be said to be a special enjoyment~

"Yuko-san, "Kikujiro's Summer" will hold a press conference on Saturday. Do you have time that day?"

Naoki Nagayama got to the point.

"Saturday?" Tanaka Yuko nodded directly, "Of course."

As an actor, it is your duty to cooperate with the crew's promotion.

"Do I need to make any preparations in advance?" Tanaka Yuko then asked.

"Yuko-san has participated in many media briefings, and he probably knows what reporters will ask, so there is no need to think too much." Naoki Nagayama shook his head, "This time there are me, Takeno Kitano, and

A young actor participated together."

"By the way, you know Kitano Takesan, right?"

"Hey, at the end of this year, we are going to shoot "Yaksha" together~" Yuko Tanaka said, "Haha, we will make a movie together in the middle of the year, and we will make a movie together at the end of the year. What a wonderful fate~"

"One summer, one winter...it is indeed a bit of fate." Nagayama Naoki also smiled.

"If there are no problems, our movie will officially start shooting at the end of July. Then there will be the arduous filming process... Yuko-san, be careful to get a tan."

"Haha, don't I have a lot of roles?" Yuko Tanaka said with a smile, "It seems that everything under the sun is your man's role..."

"Isn't Yuko-san standing by to cheer us up?"

"..."

The two chatted about the filming. In "Kikujiro's Summer", the protagonist Kikujiro's confidante appears rarely, but it is the starting point of the plot. How to perform well as a mature woman with rich experience but good intentions?

This is also an important task for Yuko Tanaka.

In addition to "Summer of Kikujiro", Naoki Nagayama also talked with her about the filming of "Midnight Bell 2". The script for the sequel of this movie has been roughly completed. As the heroine of the first film, Naoki Nagayama also

I wanted to ask her if she wanted to make a guest appearance.

"Dah!" Tanaka Yuko made a big X with both hands.

"After the last filming, I didn't dare to get up at night!!! I will never make a horror movie again!"

"???" Nagayama Naoki couldn't help but laugh, "Yuko-san, you were always there during the filming, so you didn't feel any horror at all, right?"

"But... after the editing was completed, it was super scary to watch!" Yuko Tanaka said, "The more I thought about it, the more scared I became! And then I was actually in the movie, and I became even more scared!"

"When I was in the apartment, I didn't even dare to turn on the TV. It got better after I moved here..."

Being looked at by Yuko Tanaka as if he were looking at a bad guy, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed:

"Hahaha, the sequelae are actually so long..."

"So, I will never make a horror movie in the future!"

I stayed at Tanaka Yuko's house for more than two hours before leaving. People these days don't have many entertainment options, so they attach great importance to reading, so Tanaka Yuko also showed Naoki Nagayama his study room.

By the way, when will Naoki Nagayama's next novel be released...

The novel "Tomorrow's Me Dates Yesterday's You" has a certain threshold for reading. Many readers are actually very confused about the timeline, so purely in terms of sales, there are no popular novels like "Love in the Sky" and "Love Letter"

Good sale.

However, if you really look into it, you will be particularly moved and like it... Tanaka Yuko is such a person.

"Being urged to update in person..." Nagayama Naoki curled his lips, "It's really a bad feeling."

I have no clue about the next book now! I haven’t read too many novels in my previous life...

...........

It was still early, and now that he had come out, Nagayama Naoki didn't want to go home for the time being.

After thinking for a moment, he drove towards Ginza.

I haven’t visited Shuyou Capital for a long time. I’m going to check it out today and have a drink with Wonta Nakai...

Shuyou Capital on the 12th floor of the Ginza Street office building is usually very quiet in the afternoon.

Not only is it sleepy in the summer, but also because this company rarely has business contacts, and the few customers are either the boss himself or his friends...

Shuuka Kanai leisurely prepared the information that the traders would use. Although the complicated figures and tables were difficult to understand, it didn't matter. She was just responsible for copying them and sorting them out for each investment.

The group just sent it over.

The work is not busy, the salary is not low, the relationship between employees is simple, and there is only one supervisor... You can do such a good job for a lifetime!
To be continued...
