Chapters 1348 and 1357, what? You want to overthrow your superiors?!
The noisy Christmas quickly passed, and Naoki Nagayama returned to Jurassic Island to begin the final sprint with the crew.
"click"
The director's shout put the crew at ease, indicating that the scene was being filmed smoothly. However, his next roar caught everyone off guard.
"Filming is wrapped!"
At this moment, Naoki Nagayama excitedly shouted through a megaphone,
"Everyone, we're finally done filming!!!"
The crew members were taken aback at first, then burst into laughter, and the atmosphere on set suddenly became extremely excited!
"Filming wrapped!" "It's all done!" "Finally, we can go back!" "Leaving this godforsaken island!"
There seemed to be some strange voices mixed in, but Naoki Nagayama didn't pay much attention to it.
He was immersed in the joy of wrapping up filming. It was almost Chinese New Year, and he was still making movies, which was really contrary to his original ideal of being a lazy bum!
Harrison Ford walked up to Naoki Nagayama and gave him a big hug:
"Director Naoki! Congratulations on wrapping up filming!"
"Hahaha, Harrison's been in Japan for so long, he must be tired of it by now, right?!"
“The conditions here are great,” Harrison shrugged, flashing the signature American smile, “but I miss the freedom of America!”
Masataka Komori, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but mutter "Pah!" to himself. "Freedom? It's basically freedom to have sex!"
This human stallion asked himself if there was a place where he could "relax" the night before filming. Luckily, he had to be careful on set, otherwise he might have harassed all the women on set!
"Haha, then take my plane back to Tokyo tonight. We'll fly directly from Narita Airport back to the US!"
"Haha, no rush, no rush."
Harrison shook his head.
"I also want to experience the unique features of Tokyo. I heard from Assistant Director Komori that Kabukicho seems to be very interesting!"
Naoki Nagayama immediately turned to look at Masataka Komori, startling him, and quickly explained:
"Harrison asked me where there was a fun place with neon vibes, and all I could say was Kabukicho!"
"."
Naoki Nagayama shook his head, not criticizing his assistant director.
"Then Junzheng, you should go with Harrison and take good care of him."
"Hi!"
After the two of them arrived, Yuko Tanaka also came up to congratulate them on the completion of filming, and then made a request:
"Naoki-san, could I hitch a ride with you back to Tokyo today? I really don't want to wait any longer."
"Haha, no problem." Naoki Nagayama nodded. "I'll have Kenji Sawada pick you up!"
As married men and women, it's best to avoid scandals. Let the other person's husband pick them up; even if they're photographed, no one will misunderstand!
"no problem!"
Following that, naturally, the crew members celebrated with each other and discussed the upcoming arrangements.
"Lord Zhengxiao, my plane can't carry this much stuff."
Naoki Nagayama spoke to Masataka Komori through the production manager,
"These materials and equipment need to be brought back together. There's no rush, but nothing can be missing!"
"Hi!"
"Let's leave these models on Jurassic Island. On one hand, they can serve as a feature of the park, and on the other hand, it would be too much trouble to move so many things back."
Naoki Nagayama saw many dinosaur models in the props department. The large one was already outside and couldn't be taken away, but these smaller ones...
"Besides, we might need it when filming the sequel!"
Upon hearing this, prop master Takehiko Takei somewhat awkwardly approached:
"Naoki-san, Naoki-san, can I have a dinosaur egg?!"
"?"
Naoki Nagayama remained silent.
"Why don't you just take it secretly yourself?"
"Isn't that stealing?! This is the crew's property!"
Takehiko Takei shook his head repeatedly.
"I'm a prop maker with integrity! This is professional ethics!"
"Oh ho?"
Naoki Nagayama raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
"Didn't you make this yourself? If you want it, why don't you just make one yourself?!"
"That's different!"
Takehiko Takei remained vehemently convinced.
"This appeared in a movie, so its meaning is different!"
"When I show it off to my friends, I can say, 'This is the dinosaur egg from the filming of Jurassic Park,' instead of 'This is a dinosaur egg I made to resemble the one in the movie!'"
"The value of a collectible lies in the story and uniqueness it embodies!"
Naoki Nagayama was extremely surprised to hear what Takei Takehiko suddenly said:
"Mr. Takei, I never expected that someone with thick eyebrows and big eyes like you could say such literary things!"
"Hehehe."
Takehiko Takei smiled somewhat awkwardly.
Everyone has hobbies, right?
"Eek~~" Naoki Nagayama felt his hair stand on end. "Alright, alright, take this dinosaur egg!"
"Thank you!"
Seeing that Takehiko Takei had gotten what he wanted, the other members of the logistics team all gathered around!
"Naoki-san, can I have the Triceratops' horn?" "A Velociraptor's head!" "I think this little dragon is the cutest."
Even Masataka Komori whispered:
"Naoki-san, this amber filled with mosquitoes."
Naoki Nagayama immediately spoke:
"Don't even think about it, this is mine! It's going to be on my desk!"
"..." Masataka Komori paused for a moment, then turned his head away. "Tch~~~"
"Hmm? Lord Jeonghyo, you're rebellious! Are you planning to overthrow your superiors?!"
"."
When I returned to Tokyo, I was indeed surrounded by a group of well-informed reporters at the Narita Airport theater. There were so many people and so much chatter that I had no idea who had leaked the information!
Fortunately, Naoki Nagayama boarded a helicopter and left, leaving Kenji Sawada and Yuko Tanaka surrounded by reporters.
I bet tomorrow's news will be full of stories like "The Rock King and His Mistress"!
"I'm back~"
After Naoki Nagayama, carrying Amber, got out of the car, he was first greeted by Eitaro, who wasn't afraid of the snow. Then, after entering the door, he saw Akina and Natsuka greeting him.
Welcome back! X2
It seems that Xia Hua learned new words today under Akina's supervision.
"Hana-chan, have you come to welcome Daddy?!"
Naoki Nagayama smiled, picked up his daughter, and happily kissed her.
Meanwhile, Xia Hua set her sights on the amber her father had brought back and reached out to grab it.
"this."
"This one," Naoki Nagayama said, holding a fist-sized piece of amber in front of Natsuka. "This is amber, it's very pretty, isn't it? Look inside, there's a mosquito!"
So the little guy opened his eyes wide and stared at the amber in front of him, looking adorably innocent and naive, like someone who'd never seen anything like it before!
Akina, wearing a registered coat, looked helplessly at the father and daughter who were standing motionless in the entryway. She led them into the living room and asked casually:
"Is this the amber from Jurassic Park? The source of everything!"
"Yes, this is it!"
"Are the mosquitoes inside real?!"
"Of course not. How could mosquitoes from the Jurassic period be the same as modern mosquitoes? This was made by the props team!"
"Then how did you bring it back?"
"Because filming has wrapped up!"
"Huh?" Akina suddenly realized, "Filming wrapped up?!"
"Yes!"
Naoki Nagayama smiled and spun Natsuka around in his arms.
"Filming's wrapped up, Hua Jiang! Daddy doesn't have to get up early every day to go out and film anymore!"
"Filming wrapped. La la la la~"
The little one doesn't understand yet, but that doesn't stop her from being happy along with her dad!
They spun around several times until Akina, worried that Hana-chan might get dizzy, pulled them to a stop.
"If that's what Naoki-san is saying, does that mean there are no jobs left on Jurassic Island?"
“There are still some staff members to finish up,” Naoki Nagayama said. “But I don’t need to go over there!”
"That's great!"
Akina brought over the hot tea.
"Now we can finally get ready for the New Year!"
"Yes! It's Chinese New Year!"
Naoki Nagayama looked at the snow piled up in the courtyard and sighed.
"Another new year is almost here!"
Inside the House of Representatives chamber of the Capitol Building, an election concerning the highest power in Japan is underway!
All the elected members of Congress sat upright, waiting for the Speaker of the House to speak.
"I hereby declare the election for the 74th Prime Minister officially commenced!"
Speaker Kenzaburo Hara served as the interim presiding officer for this election.
"Please vote in an orderly manner, members of parliament!"
At the speaker's instruction, members of parliament stood up and began walking toward the podium, casting their ballots into the ballot box, according to their positions from closest to furthest.
There are three candidates today: Tagako Doi from the Social Democratic Party, Susumu Nikaido from the Liberal Democratic Party, and a candidate from an opposition party.
However, Doi Tagako's face remained calm at this moment!
As the party leader, she naturally has the right to vote for her party. Now that the Social Democratic Party is in power and holds a majority of seats, even if all the opposition parties unite to oppose her, no one can compete with her.
Her previous arduous campaign was partly to build momentum and partly to win over some neutral, independent legislators so that she could get more than half the votes in the first round.
This way, there's no need for a final round of voting, and there's no need to think about sharing benefits with other opposition parties!
Judging from her expression today, she is clearly confident of victory; she has reached an agreement with some people!
The vote was conducted in a solemn atmosphere, at a moderate pace, with the voting for the more than 400 seats proceeding like an assembly line, accompanied by the public counting of the votes.
Since it's a parliamentary election, it can't be a secret ballot. Every member of parliament needs to openly and honestly state their attitude and position!
"Tagako Doi, one vote!"
"Nikaido, one vote."
"Tagako Doi, one vote!"
"Tagako Doi, one vote!"
"Nikaido, one vote."
"Doi."
"."
Clearly, as the vote count progressed, everyone had a prediction of the final result.
The only candidate capable of making any impact, Susumu Nikaido, was completely powerless to retaliate, while the other opposition candidate barely made a ripple.
Finally, Speaker Kenzaburo Hara struck the gavel three times and solemnly announced:
"Final voting results for the 74th Prime Minister's Nomination Election!"
"Tagako Doi received 237 votes! More than half."
"According to Rule 18.3 and Rule 8.2 of the House of Representatives Election Rules"
"I hereby declare that Tagako Doi has won the prime ministerial nomination election!"
As the Speaker of the House spoke, flashes went off continuously, and the sound of camera shutters filled the room.
Meanwhile, our protagonist, Tagako Doi, slowly stood up from her seat in the parliament, her lips tightly pressed together, and bowed to the members of parliament and the media with great effort to remain calm and express her gratitude!
At this moment, her heart was in turmoil, and her ability to remain calm was merely an instinct honed over many years.
She still needs to go through the Senate process, then submit her application to the Emperor for approval, before she can finally sit on the highest throne, which is officially called "Prime Minister".
The unexpected convergence of factors—including Nakazaki's sex scandal, Recruit's bribery, partisan splits, and feminist ideas—meant that any mismatch between timing, location, and people would have been disastrous!
Japan has finally welcomed its first female prime minister!
At that moment, in the observer's section of the House of Representatives, Shuichi Itō stood inconspicuously among a circle of Social Democratic Party members. He looked down at Tagako Doi below, feeling a sense of novelty.
The person who was talking to them about the election last night has actually become a cabinet minister in Japan!
And naturally, the hint that Doi Tagako had given him also flashed through his mind.
"When will we be able to speak up for Nakai Genta?!"
"He'll be spending the New Year abroad this year!"
Downstairs, among the members of the House of Representatives, Yoshihiko Noda was clapping and looking at Tagako Doi with eyes full of ambition.
"How can a mere woman govern?!"
"If she can do it, why can't I?!"
"He can be replaced!!!"
Meanwhile, the expressions in the eyes of many male members of parliament were also shifting. In this male-dominated political arena, a hen had actually started crowing at dawn!
This is absolutely outrageous!
No, we must do our best to get her out of the game and then let our own people take over!
The heavy snow in New York has finally stopped.
With some reluctance, Nakai Genta saw his wife and children off at the airport. At that moment, he even hoped that the snow would continue until the New Year, so that he could leave Suzumi and Shota in New York!
"Rinmi, Shota, have a safe trip."
Shota, who was being led by the hand by Nakai Suzumi, realized at that moment that he was really going to be separated from his father, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.
"Why aren't you going home with me, Ou Dou-san?!"
“Private Marseille!”
Nakai Genta couldn't hold back either, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"I can't help you right now, Shota. You're a man now, you have to take good care of Mom!! Do you hear me?!"
"woooooo"
This touching scene moved everyone at New York International Airport, and many elderly women began wiping their eyes with handkerchiefs.
As Nakai Genta watched the mother and son disappear into the boarding gate, he walked out of the gate somewhat dejectedly until he saw the plane slowly take off from the adjacent terminal. Only then did he sit down on a chair in the waiting room, feeling utterly lost.
At that moment, a man wearing a trench coat walked over:
"Mr. Nakai, if you simply change your testimony slightly, we can reunite you with your family."
Nakai Genta looked up at the guy sent by the Securities and Exchange Commission to monitor him, and snorted:
"Hmph, you bunch of wolves, all you want to do is drag Naoki-san into this!"
"No, no, no, we just want to invite Mr. Naoki Nagayama to visit New York."
"Heh. Dream on!"
Nakai Genta stood up and stopped arguing.
He knew very well that he was able to relax so easily in New York because Naoki-san was doing everything he could to save him.
A top-notch legal team, a UN delegation—I hear the Japanese political situation will be settled soon, and then there will definitely be even more help coming in.
As the US midterm elections draw closer, the New York Stock Exchange Commission has fewer and fewer options available.
He was eager to see if the Reagan administration would risk losing the election and continue to confine him to New York if the judicial injustice became widely known during the midterm elections!
"We'll see!"
The man who was watching him said something resentfully and stormed off.
As long as Nakai Genta doesn't leave the country, there's nothing he can do!
As soon as he exited the airport, Nakai Genta spat, which quickly froze into ice in the cold wind.
"Ugh, ugly politics!"
