1013, the representative of money worship in the new era...
.......
At the Shuyou Building the next day, Naoki Nagayama saw so many people in his office for the first time.
Originally, only Yoshimura Otomo and Itou Shuichi would come to his office occasionally, but this time, in addition to them, there were also backup directors such as Komori Masataka, Kijima Kyor, and even Suzuki Yukinatsu who came to take notes...
.
"So, why do you want me to read these scripts again..."
Nagayama Naoki helplessly turned over the script in front of him. Who can understand the pain of being pulled back to work just after a business trip...
"Wouldn't it be great if you passed the review~"
Fangcun Dayou sipped hot tea:
"After all, they are all projects with high costs. It would be better for Naoki-san to go through them..."
The cost of these movie scripts ranges from tens of millions for smaller ones to hundreds of millions for larger ones. As a film production company, spending so much money really requires Naoki Nagayama’s clear nod.
Although Shuichi Itou is the head of the film division, he is a little worried about such a large budget.
"Well..."
Nagayama Naoki flipped through the script. In fact, the main thing is to look at the genre. As long as it is not an art film or a science fiction film that is too advanced, there is actually no big problem.
In this era of economic prosperity, people pursue spiritual satisfaction, but the output of the film market cannot keep up, as long as it is produced by a mature film company, stars famous actors, and the plot is not too weird, you will generally not lose money.
"I took a look, and basically there's nothing wrong with it..." Naoki Nagayama looked at the directors sitting here, "You all got a part, right?"
"Hi..." Masataka Komori and the others nodded.
Seeing that no one else was talking about the important point, Itou Shuichi shook his head:
"Naoki-san... you seemed to have said before that you want to film the TV series "Tokyo Love Story" yourself, right?"
"Nothing wrong."
For this most famous love drama in his previous life, Naoki Nagayama doesn’t plan to film it for anyone else, just to fulfill his own wish.
"I like the plot of this drama very much..."
"That's it..." Itou Shuichi adjusted his tone, "Naoki-san, we actually discussed it yesterday. Since you filmed "Tokyo Love Story" yourself, then...
.You have to give some compensation to other people in the company, right?"
"???Compensation?" Nagayama Naoki suspected that he heard wrongly.
"Yeah..." Yoshimura Otomo helped, "Didn't the atmosphere of "Battle Royale" mean that the era was not suitable for postponed filming, so this year Shuyou will not have Naoki-san's script...
..Naoki-san took away "Tokyo Love Story" again..."
"Then there is nothing left for Shuyu Filming!" Itou Shuichi caught the conversation, "So shouldn't Naoki-san compensate for it?!"
"Autumn bean sack!"
Nagayama Naoki put his index finger on his temple, trying hard to discern the logic.
"So, "Tokyo Love Story" is a script I wrote myself...and then I filmed the script I wrote...and I need to write another script for everyone in Shuyou as compensation?
!”
"Yeah, yeah..." Others in the office nodded in unison.
"Your logic... Why do I feel like something is wrong?!"
"At least we have to fill the vacancy!" "Otherwise, Shuyou Movies will be missing Naoki-san's works!" "Even if it's Naoki-san, you can't just take it away!" "Everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time.
of....."
Suzuki Yukari, who was recording on the side, couldn't help but cover his eyes when he saw a group of shameless guys trying to fool Naoki Nagayama... He really couldn't see!
Nagayama Naoki looked at the pairs of expectant eyes around him, and felt dumbfounded for a moment.
"Omela!!! How shameless!"
"Naoki-san... I heard that Shuichi-san has previously filmed scripts such as "Amazing Stories of the World", "Hachi the Dog", "Love Will End Like the Rain", "Blue Sea", "Squid Game" written by Naoki-san.
Masataka-kun has also filmed "High School 2" and "Umi Street Diary" written by Naoki-san, and Kijima-kun has filmed "Century of Love" and "101 Proposals"..."
Matsuo Souo and Nishimoto Banyuki looked at Nagayama Naoki pitifully,
"If you can't come to our side, there will be nothing left...Are we stepsons?!"
"Yes, yes, newcomers like us need Naoki-san's care even more!"
"Naoki-san, please have mercy on us..."
"..."
Seeing the sincerity of the two singing and even bursting into tears, Nagayama Naoki felt that they have the talent for acting, and it would be a pity not to perform!
At this time, Itou Shuichi, Komori Masataka, Kijima Kyor and others were all drinking tea without saying a word.
Nagayama Naoki understood. Apparently these guys had been holding back for a month during the New Year just to show off and sell their wives!
It seems that the directors who gave it to Shuyou in the past were too good at it...wouldn't it be possible to produce good works without his scripts now?!
"Ahem..."
After strategically coughing twice, Nagayama Naoki's mind raced. He knew that if he agreed this time, he would get two in the future.
Cut five cities today, cut ten cities tomorrow, and then have to sleep overnight. And when you look at it next time, these guys will come again!
He doesn't want to be a tool!
"Shuichi-san, Masakao-kun...Mina-san~"
After a short period of thinking, Nagayama Naoki already had an idea.
"As for scripts, it's not an option to always rely on me... After all, there are currently five directors, and next year there may be ten... We should completely solve this problem from a system perspective!"
"System?" Fangcun Otomo is concerned. If it rises to this level, it will affect the company.
"Yes... I plan to set up a script creation center..." Naoki Nagayama said, "I will take the lead, and all the directors and screenwriters will participate... specializing in creating high-quality scripts.
.”
"Whoever has a good idea can put it forward, and everyone can help... In the end, I make the final decision... We have a meeting once a month! Directors, members of the screenwriting team, and even Otomo and I
All employees recognized by Sang can participate..."
"...Is there any difference between this and Naoki-san directly writing the script?"
Of course there is, so all I need to do is come up with an idea! And even if the movie fails in the future, I can still leave the responsibility for the script to all the colleagues in the creative center!
This is the experience of managers who have experienced the workplace of state-owned enterprises!
If everything is not decided, let’s pass the blame collectively!
.......
"We can try it first... let's start this first brainstorming session!"
Nagayama Naoki cleared his throat and asked Suzuki Yukika to record it.
"Shuichi-san, Otomo-san, in the new year, I find that the social atmosphere has changed. It has become much easier for everyone to make money since the end of last year. In terms of consumption, people have started to spend money lavishly in the new year.
People value the enjoyment that money brings, and money worship is becoming more and more popular...
More and more people hope to make quick money and become rich overnight...
I think this phenomenon can be used as the origin of a movie. If such a movie is made, it may be able to bring some enlightenment to everyone..."
After finishing speaking, seeing everyone starting to think, Nagayama Naoki continued to inspire:
"Shuichi-san... I think we discussed the plot of a movie called "Tiger of Ginza" before... Do you remember?"
"Ah, that one! "Tiger of Ginza", young people make huge profits by borrowing the stock market, and then enjoy a life of extravagance and wealth, but in the end they go to jail and find out that it was all in vain..."
Itou Shuichi suddenly recalled it and looked at Nagayama Naoki expectantly.
"Has Naoki-san written it?!"
"..." Nagayama Naoki rolled his eyes, "Of course not... I just thought of this and used it as an idea for my first brainstorming."
"Now, everyone can think about what kind of plot can be added to such a movie to enrich the plot and fully reflect the worship of money...Then the final moment when everything dissipates is impressive.
..."
After hearing Nagayama Naoki's words, other people in the office began to think...
Suddenly rich, lavish and extravagant, with flowers and brocades, fueled by fire... what should it look like?
Itou Xiu raised his consciousness and first thought of Nagayama Naoki's experience, and said:
"The way to make money, I think Naoki-san's experience is very good. As for the stock market... bargain-hunting mergers of large companies? Or combined with this "Plaza Accord" to seize the opportunity of foreign exchange?"
He made an opening, and then everyone realized that it seemed that the prototype of "Tiger of Ginza" fit Naoki Nagayama, and it was a perfect fit!!!
"Yes, yes..." Komori Masataka continued, "If you want to make a lot of money, set up an investment company and find people to invest in the market... and make a lot of money!"
"Being promoted by economic news as a typical financial upstart...Ginza Tiger! This title is very domineering!"
Fangcun Dayou answered: "After I make money, I naturally buy a good car, go to disco clubs, go to nightclubs... and enjoy myself in a drunken manner..."
"If you want to show off your wealth later..." Kijima Xu glanced at Naoki Nagayama, who had taken photos of the Red Fish Garden, "Buy a private courtyard?! Buy a company building?"
"Flowers everywhere...buy, buy, buy!"
Several people started talking about the plot of making money and showing off their wealth. The more they talked about it, the more excited they became. Suzuki Yuka, who was in charge of recording, rubbed the tip of his pen on the paper...
She raised her head and glanced at Naoki Nagayama, who had a strange look on his face. She felt that everyone seemed to be describing Naoki-san the same way...but there was something missing...
"Falling in love with a big star..."
Suzuki Yunka whispered...
"???"
Everyone's eyes were focused on the little girl, making Suzuki Yuka's neck shrink...
Then everyone suddenly opened their minds.
"Oh, yes... you can have scandals with popular celebrities!" "If one is not enough, get a few more!" "One a month!" "Have dinner with the magazine cover girl!"
"Do you want to add a plot about a wife who likes the new but dislikes the old, and abandons the wretched wife?"
"Hmm, that sounds good..."
"And when celebrating the rumored partner's birthday, he used an airship over the city to express his love!"
"Oh oh oh, you can have this! You can have it!"
"..."
Nagayama Naoki just started, and then he felt that these guys couldn't stop...and all kinds of behaviors were all insinuating against himself!!!
What? In their eyes, they suddenly become wealthy and then enjoy themselves like crazy, a representative of money worship in the new era?!
"!!!Okay, you guys! Just do what I'm saying!!!"
"..." Everyone looked at each other and laughed, "Hahaha, Naoki-san is so suitable!" "Yeah, I can't believe the real-life movie protagonist..." "Naoki-san"
San looks like he stepped out of a movie!"
"...Then why do I show off my wealth every day?!" Nagayama Naoki interrupted everyone's teasing unhappily.
"After you make money, you buy a sports car...and then the Toyota Century..."
Yoshimura Otomo knew about Nagayama Naoki's first pot of gold, and he had been envious of the Toyota Century for a long time.
“And buying luxury houses everywhere!”
"Hey, hey, I'm not enjoying myself everywhere, am I? I'm in a state of dissipation and extravagance!" Naoki Nagayama refused to admit it.
"You own the ancestral discotheque in Tokyo...the first discotheque and the most famous!" Itou Shuichi did not hesitate to add, "The first KTV is also yours!!!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "But I never go around hooking up with female celebrities or magazine cover girls. I only have Akina, who is very dedicated!" Naoki Nagayama insisted.
"Flower Naoki..."
Suzuki Yukina became more courageous and dared to give his president a last-ditch attack!
"...you guys..."
Nagayama Naoki didn't know what to say for a moment. He looked at everyone with expressions like "How else can you quibble", and finally turned his head and said a harsh word...
“So annoying!!!”
"Hahahaha~"
For a time, the office was filled with a happy atmosphere~
As a result, Shuyou Script Writing Center’s first brainstorming session achieved perfect results...a rough script called "Tiger of Ginza" has almost taken shape.
The rest can be completed by the script team...then the project can be filmed!
Even if it only has a crude plot, everyone knows that this movie will definitely be a hit!
And all the directors agreed that if Naoki Nagayama plays the leading role, it will be a great success...but Naoki Nagayama rejected it!
"I'm not the guy in the plot!" Nagayama Naoki said disgustedly, "In the end, I was caught for money laundering... and it ended in nothing!"
Naoki Nagayama wants to create a century-old family!
"So Naoki-san...after the script is completed, who will be handed over to shoot?!" At the end, Yoshimura Otomo pointed out this most critical question.
In an instant, Itou Shuichi, Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyor were all wary of each other, while Matsuo Souo and Nishimoto Banyuki also knew that they could not grab the main director and could only compete for the assistant director...
"Shuichi-san...isn't he currently filming a movie..." Masataka Komori was the first to attack, "And Kijima-kun is the protagonist... I guess we don't have time!"
Kijima Kyor said, "I will have time after I finish filming... Shuichi-san still has to edit and arrange for release... I will definitely not have time..."
Let’s drive out the biggest threat first!
"..." Yi Tangxiu's expression froze.
The close comrades who had just happily supplemented the plot suddenly turned into competitors...
"Hehehe~" Nagayama Naoki looked around at everyone's faces and laughed, "You were so happy when you were yelling at me just now... Why aren't you laughing now?!"
"...."
"The filming of this movie..." Naoki Nagayama's words affected the minds of the directors, "Leave it to the director who asked the Script Creation Center to create another script..."
"It will be an unspoken rule from now on... If you want to get a script from the Script Creation Center, you have to put in another one first..."
"..."
Everyone's thoughts began to stir...
No one would have thought that the Shuyou Creative Center that would dominate the entertainment industry in the future, be the organization with the most IP, the biggest brain hole in the film industry, and the holy place for screenwriters to enlighten themselves... would actually come from the brainstorming of a few people.
