1050, social animal? Just want to be a cow and horse for the rest of your life!!
...
The temperature is getting higher and higher.
In the flower bed next to the Tree Friends building, the azaleas are in full bloom, and the bright red flowers are connected together. Against the backdrop of the green leaves, they seem to be dancing a frivolous dance.
Life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves... Rabindranath Tagore's poems are inexplicably consistent with the neon mourning culture, which makes people full of emotions.
Naoki Nagayama has finished shooting the final parts of "Tokyo Love Story" in Ehime Prefecture, has returned to Tokyo, and is currently editing in the editing room.
"I heard that another election meeting is going to be held?"
Suzuki Yukinatsu and Hoshi Kahana at the front desk were chatting. The news that "Ginza Tiger" is about to start production has spread, but the final casting has not been decided yet.
Xing Jiahua is very well informed:
"Didn't Naoki-san and the others go to Hong Kong before? It seems they found the leading actor there..."
"Why not look for it in the entertainment industry?"
"It seems to be due to some image and temperament reasons..."
Xing Jiahua looked around and saw no one before continuing,
"I heard that the male protagonist of "Tiger of Ginza" is based on Naoki-san. It is said that there is no actor who can match Naoki-san's temperament in Neon! That's why I have to go abroad to find..."
Suzuki Yuka's eyes were wide open, and she couldn't believe it:
"Todoroki? Is this really the reason?"
"Yes, yes, the staff of the writing team said so..." Xing Jiahua said firmly, "But it is true that I have not seen a man like Naoki-san in Neon!
"
"...."
Suzuki Yukinatsu didn't know why she didn't speak, but Xing Jiahua said she was addicted.
"Xingxia-chan, think about it, there is no such handsome, gentle, talented and rich man as Naoki-san in the entertainment industry!
If another one appears, the women in the entertainment industry will definitely go crazy!"
Suzuki Yuka's eyes kept blinking, as if she was having a cramp, and she even reached out to pull Xing Jiahua, who was still thinking about it.
However, Xing Jiahua was talking happily and didn't notice Suzuki Yukika's eyes at all:
"If there was someone similar to Naoki-san in the bar, we would be brave enough to seduce him no matter what!
Just get drunk and take it home! No loss at all!
Are you right?"
"...."
Suzuki Yukari's little hands kept shaking in a small range, with an anxious look in her eyes.
Xing Jiahua was still confused when she saw it:
"Xingxia-chan, what's wrong? Is there dust in your eyes?"
At this time, I heard a smiling voice coming from behind:
"Ah...what a pity...I rarely go to bars after I got married~"
"!!!"
Xing Jiahua started up, turned her head a little stiffly, and found Naoki Nagayama standing outside the front desk with a smile on his face, holding a document in his hand.
"Nao... Naoki-san..."
Xing Jiahua stammered in greeting, her face started to turn red and warm to the naked eye, and heat seemed to be wafting out of her hair!
"Um!"
Nagayama Naoki did not continue teasing the girl at the front desk, and handed the document in his hand to Xing Jiahua,
"This is the information of the artists who will participate in the casting call. Hua Jiang will help me make ten copies and show it to the members of the production committee..."
"Hi...Hi!"
Xing Jiahua nodded somewhat bewilderedly, not realizing that Nagayama Naoki had already left shaking his head.
When she saw Naoki Nagayama disappear, she suddenly lay down on the table at the front desk and wailed:
"Xingxia-chan~~~Why didn't you remind me that Naoki-san is here!"
"..."
Suzuki Yukari looked helpless and funny, I just want to remind you, who told you to talk so high-spirited!
However, seeing the gossip wailing incessantly, I could only advise:
"Forget it, Hua Jiang, which woman in the company doesn't covet Naoki-san, it's just that Naoki-san discovered you today..."
"Woo~~~" The wailing sound reached another level.
"It's okay, Naoki-san must be used to this kind of thing!"
Suzuki Yukari quickly changed his attention and took the information.
"Huh? There are really a lot of people in this information... Are these two candidates found from Hong Kong? They look so handsome..."
Hearing the handsome guy, Xing Jiahua raised her head and looked at him with Suzuki Yuka.
"Leslie Cheung..." Xing Jiahua couldn't help but nod when she saw the photo on the profile, "He is a handsome guy who looks very pleasing to the eye..."
.......
The production committee of "Tiger of Ginza" has been decided. In addition to Shuyu as the main member, the main sponsors include Kadokawa, the Film Creative Activities Support Fund, various advertising sponsors, etc., with a total of about ten members.
Of course, Shuyou is the absolute leader and has most of the rights. Other investors are just here to share the risks and receive a share in the future.
Among them, the Film Creation Activities Support Fund is one of the cultural promotion funds under the leadership of the Neon Agency for Culture. It is a fund that tree friends can only apply for after they have a relationship with the Agency for Culture.
The reason why "Tiger of Ginza" is not fully funded by Shuyu Pictures this time is, on the one hand, to share risks, and on the other hand, to make Shuyu Pictures' film projects more regular, so that the model of commercial films can be copied in the future...
.
"Masataka-kun is the producer and Kijima-kun is the director."
Shuichi Itou looked at the list of production teams and said to Naoki Nagayama,
"It seems that Masako-kun will take over from me in the future~"
"There are still a few decades~" Nagayama Naoki told him not to worry, "Shuichi-san is so healthy, he will definitely be able to work until he is 60 years old!"
"That's too hard!"
Itou Shuichi quickly shook his head. Itou Shuichi is already 35 years old this year. If in the future Internet companies, he will be laid off at an age, but in the Showa era, he was the young backbone of the workplace!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The current retirement age of Neon is actually 55 years old. There has not yet been a declining birth rate, and there is no so-called "silver economy".
However, this year's "Employment Stability Act for the Elderly" already requires companies to try to hire employees until they are 60 years old. In the future, the idea of delaying retirement has been mentioned frequently, and it will definitely be over 60 years old!
"If you have to work for 25 more years, you are treating people like animals!"
"It's not just that...look at this trend..." Naoki Nagayama smiled and shook his head, "In the future, I might have to drive a taxi to pay off my mortgage even when I'm 75!"
"...."
Itou Shuichi thought about the scene at that time and couldn't help but shudder...
"Isn't it said that the more the economy develops, the better people's lives will be? Why is it that with the development of the economy, people's working age is getting older and older?"
"Haha, otherwise how can we call them social animals?! We just have to be cows and horses for the rest of our lives!"
For some reason, Nagayama Naoki suddenly felt lucky that he died in his thirties in his previous life!
The two guys, who are still relatively young, complained about the retirement age in the office, attracting real old people... Yoshimura Otomo is already over fifty, and it stands to reason that he can retire and get a pension in a few years.
Already.
"Why did you start talking about this kind of thing?"
Fangcun Dayou was drinking hot tea, feeling a little confused about today's young people...
"That's just the point..." Itou Shuichi asked casually, "What will you do if Otomo-san retires?"
"Ah...I have really thought about this before..."
Otomo Fangcun is interested,
"I got married relatively late, and gave birth to Keshin very late... Before I met Naoki-san, I originally wanted to work as a freelance agent for a few more years after retirement, and wait until Keshin came of age to support him in Nagano.
Build a new home, get a wife..."
"When I can't do anything anymore, I will go back to Nagano to open a small shop and help take care of the children..."
"..."
Naoki Nagayama listened to this idea, which is very common in Eastern culture, and lamented that parents all over the world are the same.
If he hadn't met himself, Yoshimura Otomo would probably have experienced the bubble bursting in four years like ordinary people, and then became a silver-haired person~
"What about now?" Itou Shuichi continued to ask curiously.
"Now?" Fangcun Dayou took another sip of health tea, "Now I can do it until I close my eyes!"
In such a good life, are you still thinking about retiring?
In the company, I am the executive director of Shuyou. Everyone calls me "Executive Director of Fangcun". After I retire, I will at most be the old man in the family...
"..."
Naoki Nagayama and Shu Itou looked at each other and shrugged... Power is indeed the best youth medicine!
But today Yoshimura Otomo came to his office, naturally not just for chatting. After chatting for a while, he got down to business.
"The invitation letters you mentioned to the two actors in Hong Kong have been sent... The agent over there has already agreed to come over the phone, and it will be tomorrow..."
"Naoki-san, there are other character choices tomorrow, do you want to leave them to Kijima-kun?"
Nagayama Naoki nodded:
"To be precise, leave it to Masataka-kun and Kijima-kun..."
Then explained:
"I have already gone to Hong Kong to select the most important actors. Both candidates are acceptable, it just depends on which one Kijima-kun chooses...
As for other actors, some are recommended by management, some are recommended through official channels, and some are Shuichi-san, Otomo-san and your relationship... These are left to the producer and director to jointly choose, you guys
Don’t put pressure on them either…”
This kind of human exchange is unavoidable, but with their own support, Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyor have the confidence to choose the right candidate among the actors.
For everything else that needs to be included, just give it a supporting role!
Shuichi Itou was fine. Basically, the ones he recommended were students from Tokyo University of the Arts. They were all newcomers, and they could just get some experience as supporting actors and treat them as internships.
But Yoshimura Otomo frowned:
"Naoki-san, the others don't matter, but there is a newcomer named Kagawa Teruyuki, who is a descendant of a Kabuki family, and his mother is also the chief maid of the Takarazuka Opera... The third generation Ichikawa Sarunosuke asked me
take care of...."
After all, he is a second-generation celebrity with connections...or that kind of acting family.
"In that case, let Kijima-kun arrange a key role~"
Since Yoshimura Otomo has spoken out, it means that there must have been some exchange between Shuyou and the other party. Even if it is just a favor from Yoshimura Otomo, it still doesn't matter.
After all, most of Shuyou’s relationships in the entertainment industry are handled by Otomo Yoshimura, a social butterfly~
"Hmm~"
After receiving the reply, Yoshimura Otomo said nothing more, and the three of them continued to discuss the holding of the casting meeting tomorrow.
.......
On the other hand, Shuyu's "Tokyo Love Story" aired another episode in the evening.
In the TV scenes, Nagao Kanji, a scumbag, rekindled his old relationship with Sekiguchi Satomi, and his relationship with Akana Rika once again faced twists and turns, which made many viewers grit their teeth.
"What, choose Lixiang! Scumbag!"
"I actually think it's better inside...after all, we are childhood sweethearts..."
"What nonsense are you talking about, scumbag!"
In fact, in the version shot by Naoki Nagayama, Satomi Sekiguchi was played by Konanko Higuchi, which gave Satomi a lot more support from the party. After all, appearance is justice.
With the identities of Bai Yueguang and childhood sweethearts gathered together, everyone actually seemed to agree with Nagao Kanji when he couldn't let go of Satomi Sekiguchi.
On the other side, Akana Rika, as a representative of the Tensei type, a passionate girl, is also full of attraction for the audience who assumes the role of the protagonist...
A boy who was watching with his companions complained softly:
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It would be great if I could choose both..."
It suddenly aroused public outrage. The three girls next to them glared and accused their flirtatious companions, while the other two male classmates agreed with the girls, but there was a flash of agreement in their eyes...
.
Countless viewers have focused their attention on this one-episode TV series, causing the ratings to reach a terrifying 43%. In this spring, "Tokyo Love Story" has actually become the representative drama of Showa 61.
.
"Sudden Love" has also become a well-known song, and even primary school students can sing a few lines.
At the end of this episode, Nagao Kanji was still hesitant between the two heroines and once again broke up with Akana Rika, giving the audience a rough idea of the subsequent plot.
In the trailer for the next episode, there was a scene where Nagao Kanji said he wanted to give up, and Akana Rika slapped Nagao Kanji in the face, which was even more unpleasant...
As soon as the broadcast ended, I started calling Fuji TV, saying that if Akana Rika was not chosen in the end, I would teach director Naoki Nagayama a lesson, etc.
In the hotline room of Fuji TV, operator Ruri Nomura put down the phone and complained to her colleagues:
"The ending is clearly written in the novel, why do these people come to ask about the ending! They also said that if Akana Rika is not chosen, the blade will be sent to Naoki Nagayama..."
"Haha, many people don't have the heart to read a whole novel!"
Although the sales performance of the original novel "Tokyo Love Story" is also very good, with sales of 500,000 to 600,000 yuan, there are hundreds of millions of people in Neon who just watch TV!
It’s still too little in comparison~
Although he was complaining, Nomura Ruri still recorded the opinions of the hotline callers and prepared them to be compiled into a report later.
When she was writing the last stroke, she suddenly raised her head and said to her colleagues:
"By the way...the entire plot of "Tokyo Love Story"...from the time Nagao Kanji came to Tokyo to now...it seems like it's only been two or three months!"
"Boom!" My colleague was also surprised, "I didn't notice it at all!"
"How can a love that has only lasted three months have so many twists and turns?!"
"Yeah, it's too fast!"
"...."
The two discussed for a long time, but did not come up with any results. In the end, they could only sigh...
"Sure enough, love in big cities is so quick, right? It doesn't take a long time to get to know someone to fall in love with them!"
"We can be together when we fall in love, and break up when we're unhappy. Isn't it cool and unrestrained?!"
"Is that still called love?"
"Isn't that called love?"
"..."
The love story in Tokyo goes as quickly as it comes!
