Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 794 802, We don’t even know who the director is? What kind of movie is that?!
After soaking in hot springs in Hokkaido for two days, Naoki Nagayama returned to Tokyo.

After all, the employees have already gone back to work, but the boss is out there enjoying himself, which is really not good.
"Eh? Wait, isn't this what being a boss is supposed to do?!"

Naoki Nagayama, who was driving, patted his chest and struck hard at his remaining conscience.

"We are already capitalists, why do we need a conscience?"

As the New Year holiday came to an end, the shops on both sides of the commercial street that had been closed for the holiday had already opened and put up posters for New Year sales;
There are crowds of people going out to work, and the office buildings that were originally locked are reopened to welcome office workers to start new work;
Outside the car window is an increasingly crowded lane, with cars converging from the side roads to the highway, driving the blood flow of the city;
It seems like everything has a new beginning, only the still cold weather and the snow remaining on the roots of trees in the corners of the walls remind people that it is still winter in Tokyo.

When I arrived at the studio, I felt that this originally spacious office area was filled with employees and seemed a bit crowded. This year is the first big meeting of the new year, and as usual all employees have to attend.

"Naoki-san, good morning~" Xing Jiahua was already working at the front desk, "Ah, it should be Happy New Year~"

"Haha, Happy New Year, Hana-chan~" Naoki Nagayama responded warmly, and then asked, "Otomo-san and Shuichi-san are here, right?"

"Hi, everyone is in the office." Xing Jiahua said, "Naoki-san, the conference room is ready, we can start on time at 10 o'clock~"

"Okay, thank you~"

Naoki Nagayama nodded and walked towards the office. Naturally, he received greetings from employees he knew along the way.

The greetings finally stopped when the office door was opened.

"Otomo-san, Shuichi-san!" Nagayama Naoki looked at his two old friends and smiled, "Happy New Year!"

"Hi, Happy New Year~" Yoshimura Otomo nodded calmly.

However, Idou Shuichi looked at Naoyama Naoki with some grievance: "Naoki-san, I have not had a good year!"

"?What's wrong?"

"You gave a New Year's present to Otomo-san, but not to me~"

Shuichi Idou is worthy of being a director. He must have studied acting in depth, and he portrayed the tone of this green tea bitch vividly.

".Are you talking about that chair?" Naoki Nagayama thought of it immediately.

"Hey, Naoki-san definitely didn't mean it. It's just that I'm not popular and I didn't even think of it when choosing a gift."

Seeing that the level of tea talk had reached a new level, Naoki Naoyama had two crosses on his forehead, and he couldn't help but smash it on Idou Shuichi's head with a knife:

"Yitang you bastard, shut up!

I should have known better than to say such things in front of you. Now you have all learned well and have even improved further!"

Yes, this green tea way of speaking is naturally passed down from Naoki Nagayama
It was obviously just a joke during a casual chat, but I didn’t expect that everyone who heard it would learn it and even improve themselves through practice!
All kinds of things like pretending to be wronged and weak, self-packaging, and creating a persona have emerged.

The girls in Shuyou Group are even more accurate in their studies.
"It will be hard without Mao-kun, but I will try very, very hard~"

"It's okay to love you with her~"

"Can she love Taro as much as I do? I can't live without Taro."

"."

I heard that several girls have snatched other people’s boyfriends simply by using their words!
Some people rely on this kind of tea talk to wander between men:
"Can't a person have two true loves?"

"I am just a weak woman who needs someone to accompany me and rely on."

"Compared to Shengjun, Hongjun is more important to me. But Hongjun is stronger. Shengjun can't live without me."

In this era of high status for women, there are even sayings like "a woman must have four boyfriends". Naturally, this kind of green tea trick is very appealing to both men and women.

"This chair was promised to Otomo-san before, it's not a New Year's gift~" Naoki Nagayama explained, "Besides, didn't I give you the New Year's gift?!"

Naturally, each good friend will get one of the New Year gifts we purchased before, and they will all be given to their families during the Chinese New Year.

“That’s a gift for my daughter!”

The Ido Xiu family naturally bought the gift for Jia Yi-chan. Could it be that they also bought it for adults?

"Alas, I find that once a man gets married, all the gifts and favors are given to his family." Idou Shuichi suddenly fell into emotion, "I feel that my attribute as an independent person has disappeared! I also want someone to care about myself!"

After hearing this, Yoshimura Otomo also said slowly:
"Yeah, that's why we men go to clubs. The ladies there only treat us as individuals!"

"."

Naoki Nagayama was speechless. How could these two married people suddenly start to empathize with each other? And what kind of perverse logic is that!
"Hey, Otomo-san, please don't make the excuse for going out to drink wine so high and mighty, okay? Your wife isn't here, and we're all men, we all know what we should know!"

"Tsk!" Yoshimura Otomo seemed to express disdain and quickly changed the subject, "Naoki-san, today is the first regular meeting of the New Year, do you really not want to say anything?!"

"No way!" Naoki Nagayama sternly refused. He had made it clear before coming here, "I hate bosses who stand on the stage and talk nonsense nonstop!"

"We are going to announce this year's plan to all employees, so that they can determine their goals and work together in the same direction!" said Yoshimura Otomo seriously. "This is an indispensable process, just like the oath-taking ceremony before a sports meet!"

"Maybe it has this function, so I don't object~"

Naoki Nagayama actually understood that this was an essential management link for every company after it grew big, but he really didn't want to go on stage and speak about it.

"So this is all up to Otomo-san!!!"

"How lazy!" Yoshimura Otomo shook his head and continued to lower his head to read the speech.

At this time, Naoki Nagayama started chatting with Idou Shuichi:

"Shuuichi-san, the promotion work for Ring 2 should be almost done, right?"

"Well, because it's a horror film, the publicity and promotion mainly rely on posters and specific time slots. I don't have to go to each city for a road show. Now the late-night slots are almost all our movies."

Idou Shu nodded slightly, and then told Naoyama Naoki,
"The distribution department did some statistics and found that the first week's box office was only about 8000 million, and the total box office is expected to be only about 7 to 8 million."

"As for a horror movie, it's better to just have a sequel~" Naoki Nagayama nodded but didn't say anything.

Once a ghost appears, its horror effect will be greatly reduced. The first "Paranormal Activity" achieved such a high box office due to its special publicity strategy and overseas box office.

"Then we'll try to promote it overseas. It would be best if we can reach 1 billion~" Shuichi Ito also nodded. With the foundation of "Blue Sea", he was able to accept this result.

"Shuuichi-san, what movie do you plan to start the new year with?"

Naoki Nagayama asked. Currently, the only script he has completed is "Our Little Sister". Kyon Kijima has already filmed "Love Diary". He also has "Tokyo Love Story" in his hands. Naoki Nagayama wants to film it himself.
The rest are all animated film scripts. This year's main direction~
However, as a film production company, we have naturally received a lot of new scripts in the past two years, and we just have to choose from them.

"For the New Year, I want to make some films with depth."

Ito Shuichi stroked his stubble and said that he is no longer short of money, and now he is the boss of a company. He has always been somewhat literary and artistic, and after watching "Blue Sea", he also fell in love with the feeling of art films.

It would be even better if we could make art films like Naoki Nagayama's, which can both make money and win awards!
"Art film?" Naoki Nagayama was surprised. "Are there any good scripts?"

"The company has received a lot of scripts, and I will also find some well-known screenwriters to create them." Idou Shuichi said, and he looked at Naoyama Naoki, "But if it's Naoki-san's script, it would be even better!"

"."

You're coveting my brain again!
Naoki Nagayama shook his head: "If I have a good script, I will definitely tell Xiuyi-san!"

"Haha, thank you very much!"

"This year, we will form an assembly line-like film production process and build a complete shooting system at the DreamWorks in Ota City."

At the regular meeting, Yoshimura Otomo spoke eloquently about the vision of the Shuyou Group for this year, but the people in the audience were a little bored. These were things that the president and department heads should worry about.

“This year, Tree Friends will also explore the production of animated films, with the initial plan to complete at least one animated film!”

"In terms of brokerage business, we need to build a blood-making system and hold talent shows"

".Promote the multi-faceted development of idols"

As the goals were proposed one by one, the hundreds of people below became increasingly sleepy. It was only the morning.
But in the end, Yoshimura Otomo slapped the table:

"The most important point! This year, Shuyou Group will move to a new headquarters!!! More spacious office area, more modern office environment, more convenient location"

After hearing this, the employees came to their senses and started to listen carefully.

This is closely related to them!

After Fangcun Dayou finished his speech, he interacted and discussed with the employees present as usual. The backbones who were arranged in advance naturally asked a few questions about the new project, but more people were discussing the location of the new headquarters.
"Naoki-san, has the new headquarters been decided?"

Masataka Komori also asked Naoki Nagayama curiously.

"Not yet, but I have a few options. I will go to look at houses in a few days." Naoki Nagayama said, turning his head, "But don't worry, they are all office buildings in the city center, very convenient!"

"Hi~"

After work, the entertainment industry is naturally the first to become busy. Various singers’ new songs, new movies, and new year development trends will be revealed in the media.

Hideki Saijo, who just walked out of a program on Asahi TV today, met media reporters who were interviewing in various places.

"Mr. Hideki Saijo, can I interview you?" "Hideki-san! Happy New Year!"

"Will Hideki-san still hold the Saijo Hideki's Brothers and Sisters Show this year?"

"."

As a former top male idol, Hideki Saijo still has a great influence. However, after changing his agency in 83, even the famous talent show "Hideki Saijo's Brothers and Sisters" disappeared.

Kawai Nai Baozi was born in this talent show~
Thinking of this, Hideki Saijo decided to stop and accept an interview:
"This year, my focus will be on transformation and spending more energy on my acting career, so I won't be participating in talent shows for the time being!"

Seeing Hideki Saijo stop to be interviewed, the reporters became even more excited:

"Hideki-san, do you have any specific projects?"

"Hi, I've signed a contract with Shuyou and started participating in the production of a TV series at the beginning of the year~" Saijo Hideki had no intention of hiding anything. Originally, the sooner the better for this kind of promotion.

"Oh?" "Really?" "Which tree friend?" "Baka, of course it's the tree friend film of Naoki Nagayama!"

Amidst the chaotic voices, a reporter asked:
"Hideki-san, what is the name of the TV series? When will it be released?"

"The name has been decided, it's called "Love Century"~" Saijo Hideki said with a smile, "The specific release date has not been decided yet, it is expected to be during the cherry blossom season."

"Oh oh oh!!!"

Love! The male idol is going to film a romantic drama again!!!

"May I ask who is the heroine you are working with?!" The hero is of course Hideki Saijo!
"The heroine is a girl named Momoko Kikuchi~" Saijo Hideki continued to answer, "She is the heroine of "April Story"~"

"Tōdō?!" "It's her!" "She's so cute!" "My type!" "Get lost!"

A steady, older boyfriend and a young, beautiful girlfriend, this is the most popular love story nowadays!
Another reporter asked, "Is the director Naoki Nagayama?"

The scene suddenly became quiet, as if the media had a special interest in this name. Some time ago, "Kikujiro's Summer" was shortlisted for almost all major film awards!

"Haha, it seems that everyone is very concerned about Naoki-san!" Faced with such silence, Saijo Hideki was stunned for a moment and responded with a smile, "But unfortunately, the director of this TV series is not Naoki-san! He is the screenwriter."

"Is that Director Yitang?"

"No~"

"Is that Director Komori who just finished filming 'Hot Blood School 2'?"

“Uh, not really.”

"Can't Mr. Hideki just tell us directly?" The reporters were a little helpless. Is it necessary to do it like squeezing toothpaste?

"I really can't do that." Saijo Hideki's expression was a bit complicated at this time, as if he couldn't believe his own brain. "I forgot the name of that director."

“No, no, no, I forgot what that director looked like! As far as I can remember, there doesn’t seem to be such a director.”

Hideki Saijo was a little flustered. Such a thing would never happen to an artist like him!

Don’t remember the director of the movie or TV series you starred in? !

Which director would dare to use such an actor? !

At this moment, Hideki Saijo suddenly remembered what Naoki Nagayama said during the meeting:

“Oh, now I remember this. This director has participated in almost all of Shuyou Films’ TV and movie projects. His work is very important and he is listed at the top of the list at the end of the movie!!!
However, due to its low sense of presence, it is very mysterious."

"?"

The reporters present all had expressions of disbelief on their faces. Mr. Hideki, you don’t even know who the director is, so how can you make a movie?!
Besides, if you forget, you forget. People make mistakes, horses stumble, and everyone can understand. At most, you will laugh at it, and it will be over in a few days.
Why did you lie to us about such a small matter? As if we were three-year-old children?
"This is true! I guarantee it with my own personality!" Saijo Hideki promised earnestly in front of the camera, "You can go to Shuyou to verify it, or you can look for it in the list of film producers of Shuyou Films. Oh, by the way, he was the assistant director in "Kikujiro's Summer"!!"

"."

They even used their personal integrity to guarantee it. This is no small matter. In Japan, where reputation is valued, even in the entertainment industry, one may be banned if his reputation is damaged!
The reporters present were skeptical. Hideki Saijo's reputation over the years should not lie.
But after a while, they became excited again.
Anyway, there will be another eye-catching news hotspot tomorrow!!!

Whether it is "Hideki Saijo accidentally forgot the director and lied in public to cover it up!" or "Hideki Saijo stars in a romance film, the mysterious director is amazing!", they will be tomorrow's headlines!
We media can advance or retreat, and anything can be used as news point!!
