The employees in the Shuyou building are very happy today.
Not only because Naoki Nagayama is back, but also because every time Naoki-san goes out, he will bring back souvenirs for the company's employees...
Although because there are so many people, it may just be a pack of local candies or special snacks, or small handicrafts, but this is how the boss treats you as a family!
Who would bring gifts to unrelated people?!
So this time, while the employees in the Shuyou Building were happily eating Hong Kong-style wife cakes, they learned a useless trivia...
There is no wife in the wife cake!!
So don’t think that after you buy it casually and take it home, when you break open the cake, one will pop out...
"I heard from Masahiro Hyo-san that they had a lot of fun in Hong Kong this time!"
A colleague from the film division said,
"It is said that Hong Kong has a strong cultural atmosphere, and the locals are warm and nice to talk to... They take good care of them both..."
"Hangdou?" The colleague next to me asked confused, "Why do I feel like they have lost weight since they came back?"
"You must be too tired. I have to interview during the day!"
"Oh oh oh, it's really hard~"
"I will also go to Hong Kong during my next vacation!"
"..."
Naoki Nagayama, who had already arrived at Yoshimura Otomo's office, naturally did not hear the discussion of these employees, otherwise he would definitely accuse Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyon of their corrupt life in Hong Kong Island!
In the office, I gave Otomo Yoshimura the high-end tea I bought from Hong Kong. These days, Hong Kong is China’s window to the outside world, and all the famous tea leaves from the mainland are shipped to Hong Kong for sale.
"This is the Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao. It is said to be picked from the mother tree on the cliff. It only costs a few kilograms a year..."
Of course, Yongshan Naoki knew that this was a boast of the tea merchants. There were only a few Dahongpao mother trees in Wuyi Mountain, and the tea leaves that had been picked had long been digested internally. How could they possibly flow out!
However, this does not prevent him from using this gimmick to promote the gifts he brought back~
"Oh? Then I want to try it..."
Hearing this, Fangcun Otomo immediately set up the tea set in the office, unpacked the delicate packaging that looked valuable at first sight, then carefully picked up a little bit with a wooden clamp and started making tea...
Speaking of which, this tea set was also a gift from Naoki Nagayama. It is a tea tray and utensils made of rosewood, the kind with water filter and tea pet, a purple clay teapot and cups...the steps to make a cup of tea
They're all very complex.
Although it is somewhat different from the simple and lonely tea ceremony that Neon prefers, Neon Tea Ceremony was learned from China after all. This set of etiquette is confusing to use, and it feels full of Zen. It has become a way for Fangcun Dayou to entertain
It’s a necessity for guests.
After all, being chosen by so many bosses in the future, there must be something unique about him!
So not long after, the two of them drank the bright red tea soup together and sighed with contentment...
"It's really good tea..." Otomo Fangcun tasted it for a while, and then asked, "Naoki-san, have you chosen Hong Kong this time?"
"Didn't I say that the male protagonist has two options..."
Naoki Nagayama said,
"It's up to Neon to make the final decision..."
"I mean, who will be responsible for filming "Tiger of Ginza"..." Yoshimura Otomo continued, "I think I have already made up my mind. Who will be the director and producer, Masataka Komori and Kyon Kijima...
..”
"Ah...this!"
Nagayama Naoki nodded,
"It has indeed been decided that Kijima-kun will be the director. Masataka-kun's abilities will be more comprehensive..."
"Then let's decide..."
After Yoshimura Otomo learned of the decision, he didn't put forward any opinions.
"Before the film project was approved, this decision told them..."
In fact, from now on, Kijima Kyor will take the technical route, while Komori Masataka will enter the management route...
The company is getting bigger and bigger, and the classification of positions is becoming more and more detailed. In the past, when the company was small, Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Itou both held responsibilities in two aspects.
After talking about this, Naoki Nagayama asked about the Tokyo International Film Festival that he mentioned yesterday.
"The preparations for the Tokyo International Film Festival should be ready to begin..." Yoshimura Otomo said, "This time the preparations may take longer than last time..."
"Huh? Why?" It stands to reason that with the experience last time, it should be faster this time.
"Because the first one was so good, there is more preparation work for the second Tokyo International Film Festival..."
Yoshimura Otomo said something that goes against common sense.
During the first session, Naoki Nagayama took the lead. Everything was focused on the success of the event. The personnel organization was not too complicated and the preparation process was very simple, so it was completed in just a few months.
But in the second session, if we want to be more standardized and achieve more successful results, the procedures will become more cumbersome, and there will be more third parties, fourth parties, and even Nth parties who want to participate.
Simply selling advertising space requires advertisers to gather together for bidding, especially for sponsorships, which requires a fight!
It's like the first Spring Festival Gala. It's the first time to use live broadcast, improvise on the spot, and even request songs on the spot. Pandas perform circus. The dedicated line is blocked. There are constant accidents on the spot. It looks uninhibited and very sloppy. However,
The effect was very good, creating a ratings of up to 84%.
Then the second Spring Festival Gala began to become regular and organized, with program flow, hosts, and fixed programs. Even "Unforgettable Tonight" became a fixed track, with a ratings of 80%.
"Ah...is it so troublesome?"
Nagayama Naoki scratched his head. Hearing Yoshimura Otomo say that the Tokyo city government also wanted to get involved, he felt it was even more troublesome...
"Originally, I thought it was an internal film festival within the industry. With Naoki-san, the winner of the Palme d'Or, as the leader, it would be a bit louder at most... In fact, for the first edition, some aspects were just wait-and-see..."
Fangcun Otomo also lamented,
"When the influence comes out, we will join forces..."
"Since the end of the last session, some people have been asking when the next one will be held. Since the beginning of the year, some people have been asking if preparations have started..."
"Hahaha, it seems that there are indeed many things going on in the second session..."
Naoki Nagayama is very lucky now that he sold the broadcast rights to Fujifilm during the first edition, otherwise he might have been interfered with by NHK now.
"Then we will start holding meetings of the preparatory committee, and we may need to add more members... and regulations and the like will also need to be customized..."
"Well, we're going to get busy again!"
"I'm going to get busy again!!"
I have become accustomed to the division of labor among tree friends. The main trivial matters still need to be watched by Fangcun Dayou, including dealing with various forces~
"Ah...that..."
Nagayama Naoki felt a little guilty and hurriedly filled Fangcun Oitomo,
"Otomo-san, come... have tea, drink tea!"
The two continued chatting in the office for a while before Naoki Nagayama left the Shuyou Building and headed to the shooting base in Ota District.
........
The filming crew took a whole week off, but the broadcast of "Tokyo Love Story" has not stopped. It is now in the second half of the plot, and there is only one episode left.
Today's migrant workers will stay on the Fuji TV channel at 89pm every Monday, waiting for the latest episode. If they suddenly say that the show is going to be delayed, the TV station's dedicated line will be blocked!
"Naoki-san, you're here!"
Matsuo Souo and Nishimoto Banyuki were waiting at the entrance of the park early, and finally waited for Nagayama Naoki's car.
"Well, why are you at the door?"
Nagayama Naoki was a little surprised, but he still said,
"Don't worry, there are all the souvenirs. I'll give them to you when you get to the set."
"...."
The two looked at each other, slightly embarrassed. They were not just waiting here for a gift. They actually wanted to know about the casting. After all, "Tiger of Ginza" is a project that both of them must participate in.
.
But for a moment, Naoki Nagayama was so confused that he didn't know what to say.
"But it's already here anyway, so why not help me carry it over?"
Seeing that the two free laborers were not used in vain, Nagayama Naoki directly handed a package of gifts in the back row to the two...
After parking the car and arriving at the set, Naoki Nagayama had already seen everyone on the crew starting to eat wife cake~
"Naoki-san!" "Naoki-san, hello~" "Naoki-san, thank you for your hard work!"
"...."
Weird but warm greetings came all at once, and Nagayama Naoki could only smile and wave, and began to greet everyone.
"Mina-san, how was your rest this week? Did you go somewhere to play?"
"Oh? You actually got married at this time?! Oh my, I must make up for the wedding fee..."
"..."
When the initial enthusiasm subsided, the leading actors such as Higuchi Kanako and Suzuki Honami came over and listened to Nagayama Naoki's instructions.
"The filming will start soon, are you guys feeling unfamiliar?"
"It's better to say that I feel refreshed!"
Suzuki Honami laughed, letting everyone feel her infinite vitality,
“It’s no problem if you start performing right away!”
"Then it's up to you!" Nagayama Naoki encouraged with a smile, "The ratings of our "Tokyo Love Story" have been steadily rising, and I estimate that it may finally explode in the next few episodes."
"When Nagao Kanji finally chooses Satomi Sekiguchi..."
Nagayama Naoki looked at Higuchi Kanako and the actor who played Nagao Kanji,
"There may still be a lot of dissatisfaction...you have to be prepared."
In fact, making TV series is as risky as writing novels. Jin Yong was sent razor blades by many readers because of the plot of Xiao Longnu being raped, and Chen Qitai, who played Yin Zhiping, was resented by countless people~
The same goes for Conan Doyle, the author of Sherlock Holmes, and Li Mingqi, the actor who plays Grandma Rong...
"..."
Nagao Kanji looked at Nagayama Naoki with a look of helplessness. His character was clearly created by Naoki-san!
On the side, Higuchi Kananko shrugged innocently. Who can blame her for being beautiful...
"Anyway, after eating the wifey cake, everyone is ready to start today's shooting..."
"Hi!"X5
"Naoki-san...."
After the lecture, Higuchi Kananko ate snacks next to Naoki Nagayama and chatted casually:
“Is there anything interesting to do in Hong Kong?”
"Many are similar to Tokyo...but there are many places with Chinese characteristics there...such as Wong Tai Sin Temple..."
Naoki Nagayama picked out some interesting parts and told them to Higuchi Kananko. After all, apart from the specious scandal, he and Higuchi Kananko had a good relationship.
Besides, I always talk more to pretty girls~
"The performances at their Coliseum are also very exciting, and the equipment and venue are better than those at the Budokan..."
The Hung Hom Stadium in Hong Kong was only completed and put into use last year, while the Budokan was built more than 20 years ago. Naturally, the materials and equipment are much newer, and the performance effects are also very good.
Higuchi Kananko listened silently to Naoki Nagayama's words, showed curious eyes, and gave some responses from time to time, making people feel like a little fangirl.
Kyū Kijima, who was also on the set, huddled up and stared closely at the small window of the camera...
I can't help but hesitate in my heart, whether to tip off my boss's boss~~~
"If Akina-san is notified, will Naoki-san let me directly direct "Tiger of Ginza"... The pillow wind must be very powerful..."
"But if I hide it for Naoki-san, I might be able to make Naoki-san regard me as a confidant!"
"...This is really difficult to handle!"
........
Nagao Kanji already knew about Akana Rika's transfer to Los Angeles.
At this stage, Nagao Kanji's relationship with Sekiguchi Satomi has gone further, and he is hesitant between her and Akana Rika.
Faced with Akana Rika's passionate emotions, she finally chose to retreat.
"But you are so capable. Going to Los Angeles may be the best choice for you."
"How could I stop you!"
"How can I tie you up?"
In the small office of the company, Nagao Kanji said these words with dignity.
When a senior in the company was chatting with him before, a scene emerged in front of his eyes, saying that if he wanted to break up with his girlfriend, he would let her go to the United States.
Akana Rika retorted:
"How can you say tied up? For me now...Wanzhi-kun..."
Before Akana Rika could finish speaking, Nagao Kanji continued:
"Even if you don't think so now, one day you will definitely regret not going~"
Akana Rika is very confused. Is it weird to hope that her boyfriend will persuade her not to leave him? Why does Nagao Kanji look like he wants to leave by himself...
Then she discovered what Nagao Kanji said next:
"It's too heavy for me to decide the future for you. I don't have the courage to continue with you..."
"I want to give up, please don't embarrass me!
Give up on me!"
This is the trick of a scumbag!
For your own good, let’s break up!!
He attributed all the reasons to the other party, and although he was the one who initiated the breakup, he stood on the moral high ground!!!
Akana Rika was broken up like this...
"Cut! Stop..."
Nagayama Naoki was the one who wrote this plot, so naturally he didn't have that much emotion and shouted "Click" after the scene was finished.
"Rika-chan, when you slap Nagao in the middle, you can use a little more force! You just seemed to be caressing..."
"Eh?"
Suzuki Honami is a little shy,
"But I've worked very hard..."
"Try harder, you're facing the scumbag who just broke up with you! No need to show mercy!"
Naoki Nagayama's words made other people on the set laugh, while Kanji Nagao touched his face helplessly. Although his skin was dark and he couldn't tell, this girl's hands were actually not light... They were all red...
...
But he didn't dare to say anything on the set...
"Also..." Nagayama Naoki continued to guide Suzuki Honami, "The expression with tears in the eyes is the feeling of being wronged and wanting to cry, but being stubborn and unable to cry..."
"Hi!"
For actors, of course, tears come at any time!
"Okay then... Everyone is on your place..." Naoki Nagayama waved his hand to the crew to start recording again, "Get ready... Action!"
So..."pop"...
This time, the sound of Nagao Kanji being slapped could be heard even from a few meters away~
