Confirm the passport application documents with Kuniji Morikawa and agree to send them to you tomorrow.
It was decided to go to New York at the end of February.
But in the blink of an eye, I saw the silly puppy next to me~
He picked up Ying Tailang and raised him to his eyes: "Ying Tailang, what will you do if I want to go out?"
The little guy stared at his master innocently, as if he was going to scream again the next second.
Nagayama Naoki thought about the method,
Send him to a pet store for foster care? How pitiful~
Looking for help from friends? It’s better not to bother others with this kind of thing~
Send him back to his hometown to be looked after by his mother?...The plan works!
The house in my hometown is not small, and the parents probably don’t care if they keep the puppy for a few days~
Early the next morning, Nagayama Naoki began to plan what he wanted to accomplish before heading to New York.
The landscape of the courtyard needs to be completed, the real estate procedures for Silver Valley need to be completed, Junko Ito's debut song needs to be recorded successfully, and the filming of the movie has to be basically completed...
The first two items are not difficult, just sign and pay, but the last two items seem to require more effort, at least the actors for the movie are not in place yet.
By the way, it doesn’t seem very difficult to complete the shooting of this small-budget movie in one month~
.......
After simply finishing breakfast,
Nagayama Naoki took Yutaro to the Shogakukan while walking.
Nozawa Reiki was talking to Nishihara Mitsuko at the front desk. After seeing Nagayama Naoki, she quickly said hello:
"Naoki-san, you're here~ Please come this way, I'll inform Editor Morikawa right away~"
Obviously he has been notified,
"Hi, Arigado~"
The new front desk girl Mitsuko Nishihara, who is already looking pretty, leads the way.
After coming to Shogakukan many times, Naoki Nagayama can already find his way to the reception room on his own.
Soon Kuniji Morikawa came, and since he was so familiar, he went straight to the topic:
"Naoki-san, you're here~ Have you brought everything?"
"Hi, I brought my driver's license, seal, and seal registration certificate with me."
Japan does not have a unified ID card. You can generally use your driver's license to prove your identity. However, if you want to apply for a passport, you still need to use a seal to confirm some documents.
"That's good, let's go and handle it~"
Through the internal passage of Shogakukan, I directly took a copy of the documents that needed to be filled out. After filling them out, I took two photos and gave them directly to Nozawa Reiki.
After she handed over the materials, she was waiting for the passport.
"Naoki-san, the passport will be ready in about a week. It is very easy for Japan to travel to the United States. Just fill it out when the time comes."
"Hey, sorry for bothering Bunji-san~"
After chatting for a while about the time, number of participants, topics and other information of the exchange activities,
Nagayama Naoki said goodbye,
When I passed by the Qingshan store, I found that the store was closed again. I didn’t know what happened.
He led Yuntaro, who had been wanting to have fun, back to Shanyingyuan, and prepared food for him at noon.
He may not come back at noon today,
"Yingtaro, please stay at home today~"
Although he knew it might be useless, Nagayama Naoki still told him: "Don't eat too much dog food~"
Anyway, it’s enough for a whole day, and I also prepared 2 teething sticks.
Then we drove to the studio.
...
The large black studio cut off the movement of people inside. After Naoki Nagayama pushed the door open, he discovered that Yoshimura Otomo and Itou Shuichi were both there, and there was also a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes who was talking to Itou with three young people.
What was Shuichi talking about?
"Naoki-san, you're here just in time!" Itou Shuichi saw Naoki Nagayama walking in and happily introduced, "This is Johnny Ueda Souta and the three members of the youth team he is in charge of:
The brocade weaving is clear, the grass is planted to restrain the beauty, and the east mountain records it."
"Is this the youth team that will be popular in Japan in the future?" Nagayama Naoki thought mentally and looked at the members.
Nishikori Ichikiyo, Uekusa Katsuhide, and Higashiyama Noriyuki are all 16 or 17 years old, but the faces of boys in the Showa era are generally older, and they look like they are in their 20s. If we stand with Naoki Nagayama
, I still feel that he is younger...
The three of them looked very respectful and bowed slightly to Naoki Nagayama.
"Shuichi-san, what do you think of these three people?" Although Nagayama Naoki has some impressions of these three people, it is just based on the feelings left over from the previous life. Now, the real director of the filming is Itou Shuichi, and he still has to look at him
of view.
"I just asked about their history a little bit. I have some experience in stage plays and have also taken acting courses. It feels very good."
Itou Shuichi said this in front of several people, just like evaluating a piece of goods, without considering the artist's own opinion at all. This is also the current attitude of directors towards newcomers in the industry.
"Since Shuichi-san also thinks it's okay, then let's do it~" Nagayama Naoki said to Otomo Yoshimura cheerfully, "Otomo-san, if there's no problem, just sign the contract~"
As for remuneration, it was naturally up to Yoshimura Otomo and the other party's manager, Ueda Souta, to discuss the matter. The new artist himself was basically speechless in this transaction.
"Hi, I understand."
In front of others, Yoshimura Otomo gave Nagayama Naoki enough face and abided by the rules of his subordinates.
"Everyone from the youth team, I am Naoki Nagayama. Please give me your advice later."
Naoki Nagayama bowed slightly to the three teenagers, receiving solemn responses from them.
Itou Shuichi, who was very efficient in his work, immediately led a few people to the studio to familiarize themselves with the script.
While Yoshimura Otomo was not discussing with Ueda Souta, Nagayama Naoki pulled him aside and asked: "How is Tanaka Yuko doing?"
"With Ms. Tanaka Yuko's personal approval, the agency has already agreed. It's just a process of signing the contract."
"What about Junko Ito's recording studio?"
"I was just about to tell you. I've already made a reservation. It will be in 3 days."
Yoshimura Otomo was a little confused: "Why do you feel that Naoki-san is suddenly so anxious? Did something happen?"
"Hi, I may be going to the United States at the end of February, so I want to get things done before that."
"The United States?" Yoshimura Otomo was very surprised, "Is Naoki-san going on a trip?"
"No, I'm just going out for literary exchanges, but I have business to attend to!" Of course, going on a trip or something will only be considered after business.
The active and motivated Nagayama Naoki was looking for work everywhere in the studio. He would bother Shuichi Itou and discuss the shooting process. He would then communicate with the three members of the youth team to study the meaning of the script and the performance skills.
After a while, I wandered around among the Staff again, trying to help with preparations before shooting.
Then, he was taken into the small office by Itou Shuichi, and he left this sentence:
"Naoki-san, please stay here well and don't interfere with everyone's normal work anymore."
Isn’t it wrong to find a job?!
I finally want to work actively!
What kind of world is this!!
Doesn’t it mean that only employees can work hard, so the boss must enjoy himself in the office?
