Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 864 Chapter 872, Want to interview? Make an appointment first!!!

The plans for the celebration and media meeting were roughly discussed in the office, and Naoki Nagayama originally wanted to come to the distribution department to ask about the box office performance of "Don't Stop the Camera".

However, what he didn't expect was that his return raised the atmosphere in the entire studio to more than one level.

After leaving the office, the employees would stand up and bow to greet Naoki Nagayama when they saw him, and they would be more enthusiastic when working afterwards.
Maybe this is the idol effect?
Arriving at the publishing department's office, Naoki Nagayama rubbed his stiff cheeks and said to Toshihiko Sugiyama:
"Mr. Sugiyama, how is the box office of "Keep the Camera On" doing these days? Is there still so much criticism in the press?"

"Naoki-san!" Sugiyama Toshihiko laughed, "The final box office for the first month has not been calculated yet, but according to the feedback from the cinemas, the box office should have reached 6 million~"

"Only 6 million," Naoki Nagayama sighed. He was used to hearing box office figures of billions, so suddenly such a low figure was a bit disappointing. "It's just a little better than April Story."

Sugiyama Toshihiko smiled bitterly. This data was already much better than that of most film studios. According to previous years' performance, it was even possible to enter the top ten box office movies of the year.

However, in Naoki Nagayama's mouth, this is only slightly better than "April Story".
"Naoki-san, there were indeed a lot of critical comments some time ago, so this may have caused some viewers to be unwilling to try it."

Sugiyama Toshihiko helped explain,
"But with Naoki-san winning the Palme d'Or, all those criticisms have disappeared. I think the box office performance of the movie 'Camera Never Stops' is very promising!"

"It is expected that the total box office will definitely exceed 15 billion"

"I originally expected 20 billion." Naoki Nagayama shook his head. This movie might be a little ahead of its time. "Forget it. I'll think of ways to promote it later."

"."

Sugiyama Zhiyan was speechless. Naoki-san, the movie has been shot, so don't come and take over the distribution department's work! You will make us feel unfulfilled!
Naoki Nagayama didn't think too much about it. He turned to Eiichiro Watanabe next to him:
"Eiichiro-kun, Otomo-san told me that you are in charge of my celebration?"

"Hi!" Watanabe Eiichiro quickly replied respectfully.

"Has the location been decided?"

"It is currently scheduled to be the Prince Hotel." Watanabe Eiichiro replied. Indeed, all large-scale banquets and events are currently held in these large hotels.

"Okay~" Naoki Nagayama had nothing to complain about, "Eiichiro-kun, reserve a table in the best position. No, two. Leave them for me~"

"Hey!" Watanabe Eiichiro was stunned for a moment and immediately agreed. After all, Naoki Nagayama is his biggest friend. "But when Naoki-san made the invitation card..."

"Well, I will invite the people at those two tables myself," Naoki Nagayama said. These two tables are naturally reserved for his relatives and friends, as well as Akina's.
"I'll give you the list when the time comes."

"Hey, I got it!"

After explaining these things, Naoki Nagayama continued to wander around the studio for a while before returning to the office.

"Naoki-san hasn't left yet?" Idou Shuichi was surprised.

"Well, Xiuyi-san didn't leave either."

Idou Shuichi said unhappily, "I have to stay to deal with the orders that Naoki-san brought in at the Cannes Film Festival!"

"Oh, I see, haha~" Nagayama Naoki laughed awkwardly, "Thank you for your hard work, Xiuyi-san!"

"Naoki-san, if there's nothing important," Idou Shuichi asked tentatively.

"No! I just remembered that there is something very important!" Nagayama Naoki immediately stood up and walked towards the office door, "I have to deal with it right now! I'll be leaving first! Bye!"

"."

Looking at the closed door, Idou Shuichi sighed.

At this time, Yoshimura Otomo just hung up a phone call: "Xiuyi-san, just grab the person!"

".If you pull it down, you won't work seriously"

"No, no, no, if Naoki-san wants to get rid of it sooner, he will definitely work very hard and efficiently." Yoshimura Otomo talked about his experience, "Before, when I had to deal with a lot of reports, if Naoki-san was here, I could finish two days' work in half a day!"

".real or fake"

"Of course! There's nothing to deceive you about this!"

At this point, the two of them discussed how to find an opportunity to experiment.
"By the way, who did you just hang up on? You seem a little emotional!"

"A media outlet wants to interview Naoki-san. The call came to me."

"Then the talks broke down?"

“Yes, let them make an appointment.”

Meanwhile, at the editorial office of Weekly Bunshun magazine in Tokyo.

Editor-in-chief Kota Sakata hung up the phone angrily, his face full of anger:

"That tree friend guy is so rude!"

"Editor Sakata, what happened?" Ohara Kotaro, the editor of Weekly Bunshun magazine, asked in confusion, "Didn't you call and invite Naoki Nagayama?"

"No one can contact Naoki Nagayama." Sakata Kouta slammed the table angrily, "So we can only find the headquarters of Shuyou."

"But you know what? I told him the name of Weekly Bunshun, and then what did Yoshimura Otomo say?! He actually told me that this was a small media meeting and I had to make an appointment!!!
And they said if you can’t make an appointment, it means the place is full?! ”

"What are we? Weekly Bunshun!!!"

"Everyone in the entertainment industry wants to be on good terms with magazines!" Sakata Kota was filled with anger. He originally thought that Shuyou would at least give them some face!

"This" Editor Kotaro Ohara thought for a moment, then said, "Could it be because our former senior, Shinnosuke Matsuzawa, wrote a report on Naoki Nagayama, which led to the popularity of Naoki Nagayama?"

"Matsuzawa Shinnosuke?"

Kota Sakata still has an impression of this reporter, but now he seems to be a freelance writer, and specializes in film art.
"Hey, maybe this is why Shuyou is so resistant to Weekly Bunshun."

“It’s possible”

In fact, Yoshimura Otomo had no impression of Matsuzawa Shinnosuke at all, because the two reports he wrote before were about Naoki Nagayama's scandals. However, Naoki Nagayama did have a lot of scandals at that time, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

And now, I don’t care about Weekly Bunshun at all. After all, this magazine relies on paparazzi gossip. Now it is under Shuyou, and there is no special gossip at all!

Because the treatment is one of the most generous in the industry, the salary is also very high, the protection of the artists is also in place, there are not so many messy things, and the artists under him are very loyal
There is none of the negative information about Johnny's, Yoshimoto Kogyo, and Watanabe!

As for celebrities' love affairs, it's just to increase exposure~
Editor Kotaro Obara paused and continued, "Sakata-san, how about we go find Matsuzawa Shinnosuke? I think I still have his contact information. Let's see if there's any answer?"

"Well, go ask~"

Kota Sakata nodded, then started to have a headache alone. The subsequent interview with Naoki Nagayama could be said to be the hottest news in this period of time. If their "Weekly Bunshun" does not have any information, it will disappoint the readers!
"I still have to attend the media meeting. Forget it, just make an appointment! If it really doesn't work, I'll ask the editor-in-chief to help me find some connections."

In fact, not only Weekly Bunshun, but also Friday, Weekly Shincho, FOCUS and Flash have communicated with Shuyou, but they have all been transferred to the distribution department.

Most of them were turned down, and only the four major newspapers could not refuse. The media in the entertainment industry all realized how difficult Naoki Nagayama was and the arrogance of his friends.

The production department of Fuji TV had originally ambitiously planned a celebration program, wanting to celebrate Naoki Nagayama's award on a popular variety show, but it still did not receive recognition.

Kazuki Takano, the director of the production department, went straight to Daiyasu Sugiura:

"Sugiura-kun! Can't you convince Naoki Nagayama, too?"

".I can't contact Naoki-san at all!" Sugiura Daitai sighed, "Naoki-san's phone must have been bombarded with calls these days, so he doesn't answer the phone at all, and even his message box is full."

"Huh? Is our connection with Naoki Nagayama so fragile?" Director Takano was surprised. "If you can't get through on the phone, why don't you just come and visit!!!"

"Naoki-san has moved and Yamazakura-in is being renovated." Sugiura Daitai sighed again, "It seems that he has found a temporary house in Takanawa district now."

"So, you don't know the address?!"

"Hi" Sugiura Daiyasu thought for a while, it seemed that they had never been to Naoki Nagayama's house.

"."

Kazuki Kono originally thought that Naoki Nagayama and Fuji TV had a close relationship. After all, they had cooperated many times and had a five-year framework agreement. However, he did not expect
"You guys have such a bad personal relationship with Naoki-san?"

"."

Kazuki Takano paced anxiously, "No wonder I heard that Shuyou's next TV series is going to be in collaboration with TBS! I thought it was really incompatible with Fuji TV!"

“?” This is new news. Shuyou has a new TV series?

"It looks like you don't even know about the plans for the new TV series!"

Kazuki Takano saw the confused Sugiura Daiyasu and shook his head. Although he also knew this at the drinking party, it did not stop him from using it to reprimand his subordinates.
"Shuyou's next TV series is called "Squid Game", which is a bloody TV series. It seems to be a new type, battle royale."

These two words made Sugiura Daitai even more confused~
"Anyway, you should contact Naoki-san as soon as possible, either through Shuyou or Kenon. Isn't Akina Nakamori living with Naoki Nagayama?" Kazuki Takano was indeed the boss, and he thought of a solution right away, "She must have a more private way of contacting him!"

"Anyway, this is a hot spot where Naoki-san won the award, so don't miss it!"

".Hi!"

Under pressure from Director Kono, Sugiura Daiyasu left and returned to the group's office.

Akimoto Yasushi was busy with his new show, and only Xi Rumi and two newcomers were in the office.
"Datai-san, what's wrong? Why do you look so unhappy?"

"Nishirumi-san." Sugiura Daiyasu rubbed his temple, "Besides the phone and Yamazakurain, is there no other way to contact Naoki-san?"

“.I have tried to contact the tree friends, but they all said that they wanted to plan the celebration themselves and other media could participate in the broadcast.”

"You can't do this! How can the tree friends enjoy it alone? This is a happy event for the whole country!"

Although he complained a few words, if he were in the tree friend's shoes, he would definitely take this opportunity into his own hands.

"Is there really no other way?!"

Xi Rumi also pondered, and finally shook her head: "I have no other choice."

She only got to the address of Yamazakurain~
Seeing this, Sugiura Daitai could only sigh: "Then there is no other way, we can only go to Kenon to get information!"

"Kenone?" Nishi Rumi was stunned. "Ah, you're looking for Akina-chan?"

"Yes, Akina Nakamori can definitely contact Naoki Nagayama!" Daiyasu Sugiura nodded.

"As for Akina-chan, it seems that there will be a rehearsal for 'Night Hit' tonight," Nishi Rumi said, "We can go directly to her!"

"Oh? That's a coincidence~" Sugiura Daiya's eyes lit up, "Nishirumi-san, how is your relationship with Nakamori Akina?"

".It's OK. I'm the type who can chat with me when I meet him."

"Yoshi, then this difficult task is left to you!"

"."

Me again? Xi Rumi opened her eyes wide. She shouldn't have spoken to him just now!
Naoki Nagayama left the studio not just to find an excuse, he drove directly to Shuyou Capital in Ginza.

"Zhu Xiang-chan!" Nagayama Naoki saw Kanai Zhu Xiang first and asked immediately without any greetings, "Is Yuan Tai-san here?"

"Hey, but I'm in a meeting right now." Kanai Tsukaka explained quickly, "Do you need me to notify the director?"

"Never mind. I'll wait for him in the office."

Naoki Nagayama did not disturb him immediately, but instead came to his office which he seldom visited.

The office of the future is still clean and tidy. The documents sent regularly are neatly packed in the filing cabinet. Naoki Nagayama picked up the recent revenue situation and started to look at it.
I don't know how long it took, but the office door opened:
"Naoki-san, why did you come here so suddenly? Why don't you stay home and rest for a few days?"

"There's no time to rest. There are so many things to deal with."

Naoki Nagayama smiled and briefly talked about recent developments before returning to the main business of the day.

"When I was in Cannes, I met a lot of friends from other countries," Naoki Nagayama said. After all, the film industry is backed by capital, "and we talked about a lot of international situations."

"The U.S. manufacturing industry can no longer sustain this!"

"???" Nakai Yuta's expression changed, "You can't bear it anymore, you mean?"

"There are rumors that many big business owners and congressmen are lobbying the Reagan administration to intervene in the foreign exchange market," Naoyama said. "I also heard that many economists are advocating to change the strong position of the dollar."

Nakai Yuantai scratched his head and said, "So, the dollar is getting closer to depreciation?"

"That's true." Naoki Nagayama nodded. "Neighborhood is now the largest creditor of the United States. As long as the dollar depreciates and the yen appreciates, Neighborhood's capital can be harvested without bloodshed."

"It is expected to be this quarter," Naoki Nagayama said, "We must be prepared!"

"Hey, we've been prepared for a long time!" said Nakai Yuanta, "The company has more than 400 billion in funds on its books, ready to invest in the foreign exchange market at any time!"

"Um"

In the office, after communicating in detail with Nakai Yuta about the next operations, Naoki Nagayama left with peace of mind.
