The news about tree friends has always been of great concern to the entertainment industry.
In the first half of May, news suddenly spread in the industry that Shuyou Pictures was going to enter the animation industry, which made some critics laugh.
"Shuyou Pictures? Draw comics?" "They shoot movies very well, why do they draw comics?" "Isn't "Tiger of Ginza" filming..." "Where did the gossip come from?
Credibility!” “…..”
Everyone agreed that this was nonsense. Now that Shuyou Pictures’ movie business is booming, with an average box office of more than one billion per movie, is it necessary to make an animation that costs hundreds of millions?!
However, all these rumors were put to shame by a recruitment notice from Shuyou.
"Shuyou Animation Studio sincerely invites talented people..."
The recruitment notice in the newspaper caught everyone off guard, and then from the mouths of Shuyou's two giants, Yoshimura Otomo and Itou Shuichi, people heard about Shuyou's next move, which was to acquire an animation production company!
"This is true!" "I've already said it, so there shouldn't be any lies!"
"This must be Naoki Nagayama's decision!"
An elderly executive like Otomo Yoshimura would definitely not want to focus on animation, while Shuichi Itou is a film school student and has never heard of any research on animation.
Everyone suddenly discovered the blind spot. The person who made such a big change in Shuyou's operations must be the uncertain young man!
Nagayama Naoki is a guy who likes to mess around, including music creation, novel writing, film shooting, and even variety show production and event planning. He seems to want everything...
But the key is, this guy seems to have achieved very good results in every field!
Gold medal musician, Naoki Award winner, Palme d'Or winner, longevity music producer, Tokyo International Film Festival founder... Naoki Nagayama has left admirable traces in every field he has stepped into.
"Could it be that...will he do something big in the animation industry this time?!"
"No, no, no... no one can be so powerful!" "This guy Naoki Nagayama, maybe!"
Even though Nagayama Naoki didn't say "I'll bet all my honors and achievements in the first half of my life to fight for animation," everyone has no doubt that if he sets foot in the animation industry, he will definitely make big moves that will attract people's attention!
In this way, Naoki Nagayama single-handedly made the word anime popular, which is reflected in the financial world. Even animation-related stocks have risen more or less, and even Bandai, which makes anime peripheral toys, has also
A little increase.
Toei's head office, Ogasawara Takafumi, naturally also learned the news:
"I just said that guy Shuichi Itou was coming to visit and study at an animation company owned by Toei! It turns out that he really wanted to enter the animation industry..."
The promoted assistant Toru Nakano said next to him:
"Director Shuichi Itou, isn't it to understand the production of animated films, but to enter the animation industry..."
"From comics to animation to animated movies, these are completely different fields!"
Ogasawara Takabumi shook his head:
"Let's start from the beginning... Anyway, Naoki Nagayama, a tree friend, is so young, he still has a long time to live!"
Speaking of this, Ogasawara Takafumi was very jealous. Even with the blessing of his family background, he did not occupy a senior executive position at Toei until he was in his forties.
And that guy Naoki Nagayama actually became the president of the Tree Friends Group in his twenties.
When he thought that this guy would be one of the top figures in the entertainment industry in the next few decades, he felt a little angry.
"Naoki Nagayama has the patience and ability to cultivate Shuyou's tentacles in the animation industry!"
Even he had never thought about what great achievements Shuyu's animation department would make in one or two years... You must know that Toei's animation department acquired the earliest animation company and cultivated thirty
It took many years to get to where I am now.
"The animation industry is not something that can be achieved casually. In addition to long-term accumulation, it also requires a keen eye to find a talented cartoonist like Osamu Tezuka..."
Akito Sack, Nagayama Naoki, this guy is a famous genius!
Ogasawara Takafumi subconsciously shut up and looked at Nakano Tohru next to him:
"You said...Naoki Nagayama is not even talented at painting, right?!"
"Ah...this..."
Actually it’s not impossible!
........
Naoki Nagayama, whom everyone was talking about, was currently in the reception room of Shogakukan.
Editor-in-chief Kunji Morikawa was sitting opposite him and talking:
"Naoki-san, the novel "Tokyo Love Story", under the influence of the TV series, has experienced another sales peak, and it has been reprinted for the fourth time now!"
"This is already a very good result for a novel that has only been published for a few months!" Kuniji Morikawa said with a smile on his face. His performance indicators for this year were completed in the first half of the year!
"Haha, this is also thanks to Shogakukan's efforts in promoting it."
Naoki Nagayama expressed his gratitude to Kuniji Morikawa. Without their months-long advertising warm-up in various stores, the TV series of the same name "Tokyo Love Story" would not be so popular.
After looking at the royalty details form in his hand, Naoki Nagayama signed his name and then took the remittance form.
Although to him, the tens of millions of shares brought by the novel are nothing, but who would dislike having too much money?!
Even as rich as he is now, if he sees a ten-yen coin dropped on the road, he will bend down to pick it up!
"Naoki-san, do you have any ideas for a new book recently?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing the remittance slip that Naoki Nagayama had collected, Kuniji Morikawa smiled and took up his editorial duties and began to urge updates.
"..."
Nagayama Naoki was helpless,
"Kuniji-san, "Tokyo Love Story" has only been published for a few months...it's impossible for cows to produce milk every day!"
"OK!"
"...."
The more I get to know him, the more I feel that this guy Morikawa Kuniji has a playful face!
But after chatting for a while, Naoki Nagayama seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked:
"Kuniji-san, can Shogakukan publish comics?"
"Hi... we own "Weekly Shōnen Sunday"" Kuniji Morikawa was a little surprised, "What's wrong? Do any of Naoki-san's friends want to publish comics?"
"If it's Naoki-san's friend, I can make the decision and give him a position directly!"
It can be said that Kuniji Morikawa now worships Nagayama Naoki as a god. In order to tie Nagayama Naoki and Shogakukan closer, what happened to giving him a chance to appear in a magazine?!
Even if it's a front-page headline, our Shogakukan can still come up with a gimmick to encourage amateur cartoonists and have the cartoons printed!
If it doesn’t work, just publish a separate book!
"Haha, not really friends."
Naoki Nagayama waved his hand,
"Actually, our tree friends have established a comic studio and plan to expand into the animation industry in the second half of the year..."
"Shuyou... set up a comic studio?" Kuniji Morikawa looked at Naoki Nagayama in confusion, and then seemed to think of other places, "Is it Naoki-san, you want to draw comics for fun?!"
"Ahem, cough, cough, it's not me, it's not me!"
Nagayama Naoki quickly explained that it would be bad if he was misunderstood that he wanted to be a cartoonist.
"It's an animation studio owned by Shuyou!"
"Ah...that's right..." Kuniji Morikawa nodded, "Then what type of comics will be published?"
"The sports show should be called "Slam Dunk"?"
"Sports show, sports show is fine!" Kuniji Morikawa laughed, "Weekly Shōnen Sunday" is famous for its sports show, "Who is the main writer?"
"Main author?"
"Well, who came up with the idea?"
"Um... I just mentioned this casually, it's just a direction, but the creation is completed by the animation studio!"
Morikawa Kunji was stunned for a moment and continued to ask:
"Where's the synopsis of the story?"
“When I came up with ideas, I also wrote some outlines...just for reference!”
"Oh, then who drew the character prototype?"
"Um...this is me too. When I was coming up with ideas before, I drew a few random characters...but it was just an introduction. The specific paintings were all done by others!"
Kuniji Morikawa looked at Nagayama Naoki with some confusion, and finally asked:
"So...who will review the final work?"
"Ah..." Nagayama Naoki seemed to realize the problem and whispered, "It should be me..."
"...."
Nagayama Naoki, you said you don’t want to draw comics?!
The idea is you, the character prototype is you, and the person responsible for the final review is you!
Isn’t this your work?!
Do you have to draw the lines on the comic with your own hands before you can say that the comic is drawn by you?!
"Naoki-san...Actually, you just want to draw comics for fun, right?"
"..."
Faced with Kuniji Morikawa's question, which seemed to grasp the truth, Naoki Nagayama didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only respond with silence.
But it made Kunji Morikawa misunderstood even more:
"Ah...since it's just for fun, it's understandable that I don't want people to know that I'm a cartoonist!"
He thought Nagayama Naoki didn't want his current reputation to be hurt and cherished his feathers.
"Then this matter is known to God and to you, and I will never say anything to anyone else!" Kuniji Morikawa said, patting his chest, "Don't worry, I will arrange for publication when the time comes!"
"..."
Nagayama Naoki is about to cry, but he really doesn’t want to be a cartoonist!
It’s not too late to change to another publishing house now, Kadokawa Group’s publishing house seems to be pretty good too...it also has comic magazines!
.......
At the filming base in Ota District, a group of people were surrounding a sports car parked on the road.
"Toyota's sports car feels a bit low-end!" Komori Masataka and the crew members said, "Although it is very expensive, it just doesn't give off the flamboyance of being very wealthy..."
One crew member suggested:
"How about Mercedes-Benz? Didn't Naoki-san buy the third generation of Mercedes-Benz, R107, when he first started?"
A friend next to him joked: "Oh? You know very well. You have been envious of Naoki-san's sports car for a long time, right? Do you want to buy one yourself?"
"Hey hey hey..."
However, Komori Masataka still shook his head:
"It's not expensive enough...it's still a bit expensive for the leading actor in the movie who makes a lot of money..."
Leslie Cheung was a little surprised when he heard this. You must know that even in Hong Kong today, the kind of sports car they mentioned would only be bought by wealthy people.
"How about the Toyota Century? Didn't Naoki-san just buy a Toyota Century?"
Kijima Xu shook his head:
"The Toyota Century is a bit low-key and not suitable for the hero's flamboyant style."
"Ferrari?" "Rolls-Royce?" "Porsche?"
Everyone was talking about the names of top-notch sports cars, which made both Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyor a little worried... If nothing else, it was too expensive. In one of the scenes, the male protagonist crashed his own car.
luxury cars....
No matter which one of them it is, it makes people feel heartbroken!
"Leslie..." Tony Leung couldn't speak Japanese, so he walked up to Leslie Cheung and asked, "What are they talking about?"
"They were discussing which luxury car to use to hit..."
"Crazy line... using a real luxury car?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "..."
Leslie Cheung was also a little surprised. The crew really planned to use real luxury cars to shoot the car crash scene!
Eh? But if that’s the case, wouldn’t I have the chance to actually drive a luxury car into a wall? Thinking about it, I’m still a little excited...
After discussing for a while, Kijima Kyor decided that the first luxury car would be Ferrari red, the most dazzling one, which could show the hero's wanton flamboyance after getting rich.
As for when you are richer in the future, just use the silver-white Rolls-Royce Silver Spur...
As the producer, Komori Masataka naturally has to contact the sponsor behind it as soon as possible. If the sponsor's father owns these two cars, it would be best to borrow them. If not, then contact a luxury car dealer to rent one.
.
"Sigh...Why doesn't Naoki-san buy a Ferrari or a Rolls-Royce? It would be so convenient to just borrow it!"
As for the car crash scene at the end, let's see if he can buy a second-hand scrapped Rolls-Royce Silver Spur. If he crashes it with a new car, his own heart will break out!
After the discussion, Kijima Kyor began to continue filming the movie.
After almost a week, the crew has almost adjusted well and entered into a high-speed shooting period.
Leslie Cheung is indeed his favorite actor. His role as a newcomer in the workplace is very good at the beginning. Later, he also plays the role of being arrogant and proud after making money. He controls the role very well.
It's just...a little short...and a bit lacking in aura.
But fortunately, with the height-increasing shoes and shooting angle, this is not a problem~
"For the next scene, I have to go to Shuyou Capital in Ginza!"
Kijima Kyon looked at the arrangements for the filming schedule, and it was already time for the male lead, Hota Kazuhiko, to establish an investment company and win the title of Tiger of Ginza.
Owning your own company in an office building in Ginza is the sign of a new financial rich!
"If you want Shuyou Capital, you must talk to Naoki-san!"
Although he had already made contact, after all, he was going to Nagayama Naoki's company, so Kijima Kyon decided to talk to Nagayama Naoki.
It would be best for Naoki-san to be there in person...
After thinking of this, he communicated with Masataka Komori:
"Masataka-kun, will Naoki-san come to the scene in Ginza tomorrow?"
"There was no such arrangement before." Masataka Komori shook his head and continued to flip through his address book, "The contact with Shuyou Capital is through Minister Wonta Nakai, who is a good friend of Naoki-san and a member of Shuyou Capital.
CEO”
Both Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyon have attended the "Cherry Blossom Viewing Party" at Sanzakura-in. It can be said that they are no strangers to Nagayama Naoki's circle of friends, and they also have a few acquaintances with Nakai Wonta.
"But we don't have experience in dealing with Minister Nakai here, so we don't know if it will go smoothly."
Kijima Xu was a little worried. After all, everyone in the investment bank was arrogant and seemed to be one step ahead of others.
"Kijima, you mean to ask Naoki-san to come over and help you a little bit?"
"Hi~"
I beg my boss not to be embarrassed!
Komori Masataka thought for a while and nodded:
"Okay, I'll call Naoki-san later and ask him to come and inspect the filming progress..."
"Well, this will make you feel more at ease!"
"Okay, Kijima, hurry up and go shoot!" After Masataka Komori finished speaking, he continued to flip through his notebook, "I also want to ask the management if there is a Ferrari!"
