When he arrived at the studio the next day, Naoki Nagayama was unusually low-spirited.
"What's wrong? Naoki-san, you look listless."
Today is Saturday. Indo Shuichi brought his daughter over today. At this time, he was playing with the little Hachiko.
The arrival of Taro Taro made the playful group even happier.
"Yutaro, don't bully the children." Nagayama Naoki ordered, and then sat next to Yin Tang Shuichi, looking at the playful scene, "I was very disappointed last night. My sister seems to have someone she likes (
And my brother, I’m actually still single)...Shuichi-san, if Yui falls in love in the future..."
"Impossible!" Indou Shuichi quickly interrupted Naoki Nagayama's speech, "Yui-chan will always be by my father's side! No matter which bad boy has an idea for my family Yui, I will definitely let him know about Shinjuku Gyoen Garden.
Why are the maple leaves so red!”
"..." What a dangerous statement this is!
"Sigh... Xiu Yisang, your thoughts..."
Nagayama Naoki shook his head and did not continue talking. This slave girl was no longer normal.
After waiting for a while, Yoshimura Otomo also rushed over. After saying hello to Yui, he called the two of them into the office.
"The premiere date has been set, it will be July 25th."
"Eh? Why is it set on this day?"
"Of course because it's Sunday!" Yoshimura Otomo continued, "While everyone is resting, wouldn't it be nice to come and watch the movie premiere?"
Naoki Nagayama wanted to complain that the main audience for the preview was the media. Didn't the date you set, Otomo-san, force the reporters to work overtime on the weekend...
"Okay, I have no objection."
Whether reporters work overtime or not is none of my business, Naoki Nagayama~
Anyway, the media who gave the red envelope in the end will say good things~
Naturally, I came to the studio this weekend not just to chat about such a simple matter.
"Naoki-san, starting from the preview, Kadokawa Pictures used the excuse of poor communication to send a staff member to serve as the head of the planning department..." Yoshimura Otomo looked a little unhappy at this time.
Chongqing,
"They are indeed acting vigorously and resolutely... They said they hope to meet with the company's leadership team as soon as possible and start work next week."
"Hahaha, didn't you say that last time? They will definitely send people for this movie." Nagayama Naoki didn't care, "Even if they don't send people this time, they will definitely send people in the future."
"That guy Kadokawa Haruki..." Yoshimura Otomo seemed a little unhappy that his former friend was actually going to attack his company.
"Otomo-san, don't blame Haruki-san, this is just a normal business method."
Nagayama Naoki didn't want Yoshimura Otomo to complain too much about his old acquaintance. After all, the previous movies were really resources and promotion given half by the Kadokawa Group. If it wasn't for favors, who would want shares in a leather goods company?
Now that I have found a treasure, I naturally cherish it even more.
"This also shows that our tree friend movies have become more valuable, hahaha~" Nagayama Naoki laughed and comforted Yoshimura Otomo.
"Naoki-san, how should we deal with that guy?" Yoon Tang Shuichi asked, "The director of the planning department is a very critical position."
Yes, the planning department is the initial starting point of a project. For a film production company, it is the core department that discovers scripts, develops projects, grasps the market, etc.
However, Shuyou Pictures... seems to be different. This company is not so much a film and television company, but a film crew with Naoki Nagayama as the core. All money-making projects come from the big boss Naoki Nagayama.
one person.
"Shuichi-san, don't be so hostile! The people we can send here are very capable." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "They are professionals that our company can't even spend money to hire!"
"??" Yin Tang Xiuyi didn't understand, "Isn't he here to monitor us?"
"Who said that! What kind of surveillance! He is the planning director of our company!" Naoki Nagayama emphasized, "He is here to work seriously! Everyone in the company must cooperate well."
Yoshimura Otomo seemed to have figured it out: "Naoki-san, do you want to treat him like an ordinary employee?"
"They are not ordinary employees, but outstanding talents!" Naoki Nagayama said to Shuichi Yindo, "We have finished shooting the movie, and everyone on the crew has no work to do...
..Wouldn’t it be the responsibility of the planning director to start looking for new projects at this time?”
"Eh? Ah?? Yes!
!" Yin Tang Xiuyi was awakened. Isn't this a ready-made labor force?
Generally speaking, very capable employees like this have been trained by their own company for a long time. Under Japan's seniority-based system, they basically will not change jobs halfway.
It is very beneficial for a start-up company to obtain such an employee for its future development.
"Otomo-san, I will assign Inada Masamin to him as a subordinate, so that Masamin-kun can learn from him."
Masami Inada is now regarded as a confidant of Yoshimura Otomo, but Yoshimura Otomo, who became a monk in the middle of his career, actually does not have that deep understanding of the film industry and cannot teach him much.
Let Fangcun Dayou study? How is that possible? He is already a high-level person. He just needs to learn how to know people and make good use of them.
"Hey, I will make it clear to Yamin-kun."
"Others, Otomo-san, as his direct superior, should be friendly; Shuichi-san can just keep things official; I will be aloof and ignore him, hahaha~"
After hearing these words, Yin Tang Shuichi and Yoshimura Otomo also laughed, and their laughter attracted the attention of the three people playing outside.
Yui Indou ran in quickly with his two dogs, completely ignoring Shuichi Indou's outstretched arm, and immediately got into Naoki Nagayama's arms.
"Brother Naoki, what are you talking about, smiling so happily?"
"Hahaha, I'm just talking about how to knock down a bad guy!"
"Are you a bad guy? Then Yui will help you beat him!" While gesturing to hit someone, he made an onomatopoeic sound.
What a lovely little girl.
The face of Yoto Shuichi, who was standing next to him with his arms stretched out, had darkened...
...
After agreeing to pretend to be indifferent, Nagayama Naoki had no intention of going to meet the family in advance and took Yutaro back to Chiyoda in the afternoon.
On the way, we turned a corner and came to the headquarters of Shogakukan.
"Teacher Naoki, good afternoon~"
Mitsuko Nishihara had better eyesight. He first saw Naoki Nagayama at the front desk, while Reiki Nozawa next to him was concentrating on a novel, which turned out to be "Love Letter". After hearing the movement, he quickly said hello.
"Good afternoon to you, Mitsuko-san and Reiki-san." Naoki Nagayama saw the novel at the front desk and said with a smile, "You are also reading "Love Letter"? How do you feel?"
Reiki Nozawa said excitedly: "Ms. Naoki's novel is so good! I've read it for the third time!"
"Haha, thank you Lingxi-san for the compliment~"
Mitsuko Nishihara asked: "Ms. Naoki, do you still have an appointment with Editor Morikawa this time?"
"Ah, we haven't agreed on a specific time. Bang Zhisang saved some things for me. I happen to be free today, so I'll come and get them."
"Hi, let me take you to Editor Morikawa." Mitsuko Nishihara led the way diligently, leaving Reiki Nozawa, who was lagging behind for a moment, to stay on duty at the front desk.
Naoki Nagayama nodded to the girl with glasses, and then followed her.
Mitsuko Nishihara introduced as he walked: "Ms. Naoki, is this your first time here? This is the office hall, this is the comics department, this is the teaching and learning department, and this is..."
The interior of Shogakukan is indeed very consistent with the atmosphere of a publishing house. There are samples of various novels and comics on the bookshelves, desks, and corridors, and peripherals.
Many editors lowered their heads and read the manuscripts in their hands. Occasionally, a few people would raise their heads and take a look at the handsome guy who walked in.
A strong bookish atmosphere comes to you, which seems to indicate that this is one of the origins of Tokyo's spiritual culture.
"Teacher Naoki, Editor Morikawa's workstation is right in front." Mitsuko Nishihara walked a few steps quickly and reminded Kuniji Morikawa, "Editor Morikawa, Mr. Naoki is here."
Kuniji Morikawa raised his head and stood up immediately after seeing Naoki Nagayama: "Naoki-san, why are you here?"
"Haha, didn't you say before that there were a lot of letters from fans? Let me get them."
"Isn't this...I agreed to send it to you?"
"Haha, I just happened to be on the way, and I stopped by to see Bon Zhisang's work."
Nagayama Naoki looked at his work. The messy manuscripts were piled up randomly, but the most conspicuous place was of course the newly released "Love Letter", which can be said to be the most popular novel in recent times.
Kuniji Morikawa also seemed a little embarrassed about the mess on his desk: "Haha, I'm used to it when I'm working, and it gets messy like this when I'm not paying attention... Naoki-san, let me take you to read the fan letters.
.”
"Hey, trouble~"
Naoki Nagayama followed Kuniji Morikawa to a storage room, where three medium-sized boxes were placed outside.
"Naoki-san, this is the letter that was sent recently. Two boxes are already full, and another one is on the way."
"Is that much?..." I originally thought that one box would be the most, but luckily I drove over.
Kuniji Morikawa asked Nishihara Mitsuko to get a small cart: "This is only during this period. Now I can receive a large number of carts every morning, a steady stream."
Nagayama Naoki opened a letter, and there was only one sentence written in it: "I'm fine, are you okay?"
Um...it's not always written like this...
"Hahaha, I was wondering if that was the case." Kuniji Morikawa laughed, "Naoki-san described it so well in the novel... Sending letters like this will become a trend."
"...It can't all be like this...How do other authors handle these fan letters?"
"Usually we pick some to reply to, and others...some people will burn them directly, some people will collect them, and some people will leave them to us for processing."
"Eh? Then what will you do?"
"Shredder and throw away..."
Then I'll keep it...
With the help of Mitsuko Nishihara's trolley and Kuniji Morikawa, Naoki Nagayama loaded the three boxes into the car, said goodbye and drove back to Sansakura-in.
Looking at the cardboard boxes on the living room, Nagayama Naoki sighed. It seems that he will use them this afternoon, maybe until the evening...
...
When people focus on one thing, time flies by.
This afternoon, apart from drinking water and eating, Naoki Nagayama focused entirely on reading letters from fans. He found that letters from fans were generally divided into three categories:
The first type is to talk about one's own emotional and life experiences, and to get the author's opinion or comfort; the second type is to discuss the plot seriously and express one's own views on the novel; the third type is to not understand why, and some of them are words from the novel
, some are messy and I don’t know what they wrote, and some are strange threats, such as "How dare you make me cry, I will remember you, author! Don't let me see you!"
In short, the world is full of strange things.
"Dingling bell~"
"Moses Moses, this is Yamazakura-in~" Nagayama Naoki raised his arm from the sofa filled with letters and pulled over the phone.
"Naoki-san? I'm Akina Nakamori~" Akina-chan's voice came through the microphone, "Why do you sound so weak? Are you sick?"
"Ah, Akina-chan, I'm not sick. I just saw a lot of people in the afternoon, and I feel numb." Nagayama Naoki looked at the letters on the table, and there was only one box left.
"Eh? Did Naoki-san attend the party?"
"No, I read the letters from fans of "Love Letter" all afternoon..." Naoki Nagayama responded, "By the way, Minato-chan should also have received a lot of letters from fans, right?"
"I don't receive many here myself...mostly the office reads them first, and then my manager selects some fan letters and gives them to me." Akina recalled the previous fan letters, "
Everyone is a very good fan, and I am very happy to see their letters."
"Ah, then people from the office must have screened some letters." Nagayama Naoki complained to Nakamori Akina, "Akina-chan, this afternoon, I have seen dozens of letters scolding me...
"
"Eh? Why are you scolding? Naoki-san's "Love Letter" is obviously so well written."
"Who knows..." Naoki Nagayama felt that he might not read every letter in the future, "People's joys and sorrows are different..."
"Eh? It's unexpectedly early for Akina-chan to come home today~" Nagayama Naoki looked at the time and saw that it was less than 8 o'clock.
"Even artists have to have some rest time!" Akina said dullly, "I recorded a new song today, so I came back a little early..."
Hearing that the tone was wrong, Naoki Nagayama immediately thought of the style issue he had mentioned before: "Is it that rebellious song?"
"Yes, yes, and Shimada Yusan-san is very fierce, so I must sing..."
"Is that Yusan-san guy? He can't drink much, but he still has such a bad temper?" Naoki Nagayama recalled the experience of getting this guy drunk in Los Angeles. "At that time, I still relied on Akina-chan to send people back.
Are you so ungrateful?"
As an idol, it is inevitable that you will have to sing songs you don't want to sing at work. Akina understands this very well, but it is inevitable to feel depressed and depressed.
Of course, you can't talk about such troubles with your colleagues at work; if you talk to your family at home, your family won't be able to understand them, and they may even ask you to follow the company's arrangements; if you talk to friends, your old friends will feel more and more distant.
My friends are not at the point where they can say anything.
Akina could only talk to Nagayama Naoki, who could understand all this.
"That's right, that guy Yusan-san is so ungrateful!" As she said that, Akina actually laughed, "Hahaha, next time you try to hurt me, just use this as an excuse."
"Next time I meet him, I'll get him drunk again! Hahaha~" Nagayama Naoki echoed Akina's tone and also laughed.
"By the way, Naoki-san, I received the letter you sent!" Akina seemed to have remembered something, "I originally called to talk about this matter."
"Ha, really?" Nagayama Naoki recalled the content, "So, did Akina-chan eat well?"
"Hey, I just made a big meal today!"
...
Nakamori Akina returned to her apartment early today, went to the supermarket to buy her favorite vegetables and meat, carefully prepared a dinner, and enjoyed it beautifully.
After tidying up the kitchen, I also took advantage of the rare free time to clean the place where I lived.
After that, I originally wanted to watch a TV series, but I found that I had missed a long plot of the TV series I had been following. Now I can no longer understand the plot development, and I have no interest in watching it anymore.
In addition, during the day, I was forced to record new songs that I didn't like in the studio, and I felt a little emo at this time.
I was in a daze for a while, and when I turned around, I suddenly saw the "Love Letter" and a letter on the bedside table.
