Chapter 159 158, Traveling to the United States at Public Expense?
Fleeing from the studio in a hurry, Naoki Naoyama drove Etaro back to Yamazakura-in,
Seeing a familiar place, the little guy ran over wagging his tail,
Then reared up at the door
"Taro, be careful!" Naoki Naoyama shook his head, this bad habit needs to be changed.
I got some food at noon, and after feeding myself and the little guy, I collapsed on the sofa again,
The movie is waiting for the actors to be in place, the record is waiting for the recording studio to be in place, and the house is waiting for Fujita Keiko to be in place. In this way, I have returned to a free life in a short time~
When I think about it this way, I suddenly feel happy~
He picked up the puppy next to him: "Yi Taro, let's play together all afternoon today!"
Yee Taro struggled again~
There are many pastimes suitable for young people these days, such as singing K, dancing, watching movies, and traveling, but there are very few activities suitable for Naoki Nagayama.
In the previous life, there were takeaways, computers, games, and social networks. You can eat, eat melons, make friends, have fun, and learn about major events in your family and country when you stay at home.
In the Showa era, basically all recreational activities required going out, and even making appointments
Speaking of it, this may also be the reason why the older generation have a good relationship. After all, there are three irons in life~
I took a dog happy ball (don’t think about it, it’s tennis~), and I want to train the ability of Taro to catch and throw the ball,
However, after Naoki Yongshan threw the tennis ball, the little guy yelled at the tennis ball in the distance, completely ignorant of the action, and then Naoki Yongshan had to demonstrate and ran over to pick it up by himself.
When he put the ball next to the little guy, he played around happily, but when Naoki Naoyama threw it away again, he had no intention of picking it up at all, so he had to demonstrate again.
After going back and forth several times, Naoki Yongshan watched the little guy happily playing with the tennis ball he picked up,
Eh? Is this training Eutaro or training myself?
Thinking of this, the tennis ball rolled to his hand again, and Euntaro seemed to be sitting aside, looking at Naoki Nagayama with small eyes, as if expecting something.
(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻
Yongshan Naoki rubbed the dog's head angrily, finally calming down his broken heart.
The snow in the yard has melted, and there are still some unmelted snow blocks at the bottom of the wall.
On the empty black soil, there are still potholes left by weeding years ago, which looks very ugly and dilapidated.
Naoki Yongshan suddenly remembered that he said before that he wanted to make a landscape of dry landscape in the yard. Simply adding some white gravel can make the courtyard unique. What a great idea.
Taking advantage of this free afternoon, just do what you say.
He walked to the phone in the living room, found Takashi Honma's phone number and dialed it. Anyway, he was now the one to look for anything related to the decoration.
"Moses, is this Honma Architects?"
"Hi! This is it. I'm Naoya Sakata, my assistant. What can I do?" A young voice answered, probably a newly recruited assistant.
"I'm Naoki Nagayama from Chiyoda Sakurain, who I worked with before, and I want to find Mr. Takashi Honma."
"Secret Marseille, President Honma is currently on a business trip overseas." Naoya Sakata replied, "If there is any problem, there is a designer in the office who can help solve it. I would like to ask, is there any problem with the previous project? "
"No, in fact, I just want to ask, have you ever done dry landscape here?"
"Hey, this traditional landscape has been done many times."
I need a truckload of white gravel to pave the open-air courtyard. Such a simple job does not require a professional architect. After talking about the request, the assistant named Naoya Sakata enthusiastically agreed to come and have a look and help contact material.
In less than an hour, a young man with a briefcase rang the doorbell of Yamazakura-in.
"It's the first time I've met you. I'm Naoya Sakata, an assistant at Honma Architects. Please give me your advice!" The young man bowed respectfully,
And Naoki Yongshan also had to return: "Hi, I'm Naoki Yongshan, it's the first time we meet, please give me your advice."
etiquette is a bit troublesome
Sakata Naoya came over to measure the size of the yard a little bit, and took out 3 white gravels of different sizes for Naoki Naoyama to choose.
"The thickest kind is generally suitable for pure outdoor yards, the thinnest white sand is more suitable for indoor dry landscape scenery, and the yard of Yongshan Sang is more suitable for the thickest kind."
After hearing Naoya Sakata’s introduction that Karesansui should not be trampled on, Naoki Nagayama gave up the idea of making all the yards into Karesansui, but asked Naoya Sakata to design the yard a little bit, taking into account both aesthetics and practicality.
Yes, it is the kind of request that every designer wants to hit when he hears it. It should be both luxurious and simple, both modern and classic.
But Sakata Naoya still agreed very seriously, and will reply in a few days.
I thought there was nothing else to do this afternoon.
But when dinner was approaching, Morikawa Kuniji of Shogakukan brought a novel news to Naoki Naoyama,
"Invite me to America?"
"Hi! Important children's literature awards in the United States: the Newbery Award for children's literature and the Caldecott Award will be announced at the end of January. Writers of children's literature went to participate.
There is a recommended quota in Xiaoxiaoguan, and Xuele Group also sent an invitation letter to Naoki-san. "
"But the awards at the end of the month, it should be too late now~"
In fact, Naoki Naoyama doesn’t really want to go abroad, not to mention the backward facilities in this era, the problem of discrimination in the United States alone is very serious, what to do if you are beaten by white people while walking on the street.
"Stay Tape, because it is a children's writer facing the world, so it was notified in advance, and the actual activity time is at the end of February."
Naoki Naoyama doesn't really believe in the reason for inviting children's literature writers from all over the world to exchange ideas. Let alone other writers from the Soviet Union, can he call over?
There is a high probability that it is an event to demonstrate the soft cultural power of the United States.
"Naoki-san, the cost of this event will be fully borne by Shogakukan and Scholastic Group, and we can also handle your overseas procedures, passport and other documents." Morikawa Kuniji said,
"There will be an interpreter for the whole journey, but I think that with Naoki-san's English level, it shouldn't be needed."
So this is public travel? !
Speaking of which, in fact, the supporting facilities in big cities in the United States are quite good. After all, they were the most advanced countries in the 1980s, and the scenery and historic sites are also very interesting.
Besides, in a big city like New York, the law and order in the rich area is still very good.
As long as you don't go to those remote corners, there will never be a black brother who comes up and robs you~
Naoki Yongshan immediately found 10,000 reasons for this trip in his heart,
In short,
How could such a rare opportunity to communicate with other writers in the world be missed!
