I wandered around Jimbocho for more than an hour, and also found a small restaurant hidden in a residential area for lunch.
Home-style stir-fried and fried meatballs, served with shredded lettuce and miso soup, can be enjoyed with white rice.
When you're hungry, a home-cooked meal full of fireworks is really appetizing.
After finding his car with a bag of books, Nagayama Naoki had no intention of going back directly.
It’s finally a trip out, so of course I have to shop around, not to mention, I haven’t bought any gifts yet~
Driving slowly along the busy road, the journey from Jimbocho to Akihabara is only two kilometers, but it takes more than ten minutes. No wonder many local Tokyoites like to take the subway in the city.
It's been a long time since I've been to Akihabara. Nagayama Naoki first went to his own shop to take a look. Well, the electrical appliance shop is still open there, and it seems that the rent is no problem.
Akihabara is still regarded as an electrical appliance street. You can see domestic and international electrical appliances here. However, Naoki Nagayama came here to pick out gifts this time. Refrigerators and color TVs were a bit too much, so he went directly to small products.
Area.
A dazzling array of electrical appliances are arranged in an orderly manner on the display stand, forcing people who don't have difficulty in choosing to have this problem.
Nagayama Naoki walked slowly down the aisle, looking at the products in front of him. He was a little hard to make a decision for a while. When he walked past the Sony display cabinet, he took a look at Sony's Walkman.
"I've already bought it from Walkman~" Naoki Nagayama had this thought in his mind, and just as he was about to move forward, he suddenly remembered, "I think I bought it for Tsuruko... I also bought it for myself...
....”
Speaking of which, Nagayama Naoki usually listens to a record player at home and a car stereo in the car. His Walkman is rarely used and should still be collecting dust in a cupboard in the bedroom at this time.
"However, Akina seems to be very busy all the time, so this Walkman should be useful~" Anyway, I don't see Nakamori Akina already having one, so such a gift should be very practical~
In October of this year, Sony happened to release the latest cassette player wm-7, which used automatic tape turning, repeat playback technology and noise reduction technology for the first time. The price in Japan is 36,000 yen.
"There are only two colors..." Naoki Nagayama took a silver WM-7 directly from the counter and paired it with a pair of lightweight headphones.
It just seems a little weird to give this gift on Halloween...
.......
After coming out of Akihabara, Naoki Nagayama still didn’t go home, but went directly to Takadanobaba.
Just when he thought of Halloween, he thought of the disco. There should still be a special Halloween event this year, right?
"Hi, Naoki-san, we are already preparing for the Halloween party!" Shigechi Araki said to the boss who made a sudden inspection, "The preliminary decorations have already begun."
Nagayama Naoki looked at the pumpkin lanterns that had been slowly hung up in the disco and nodded. Araki Shigechi’s business ability is indeed very good.
"Maozhi-san, how is the business situation of the disco these days?"
"It's absolutely no problem. It's even better than before the renovation. Now the afternoon show basically takes half an hour to shoot. For the evening show, one and a half hours is already the minimum standard."
This disco in Takadanobaba is unique in that its business performance is measured by the time customers spend partying...
"Hahaha, that's good~" It seems that the acceptance level of this cyber wasteland style is very high~
Araki Shigechi paused, "But Naoki-san, I have a situation I want to tell you."
"Nani?"
"There was a guest in the disco. After arriving at the disco, he didn't like to dance or listen to the music... Instead, he ran around in the disco and carefully observed every corner of the disco."
"Um, is it a fire inspection?"
"No, just looking around..."
Nagayama Naoki was curious: "Did a thief come to check on it?"
"A thief wouldn't be so aboveboard...Naoki-san." Shigechi Araki was a little speechless, "And this guy has told our waiter many times that he wants to meet the designer of the disco."
Araki Shigechi knew that the design was from Honma Design Office, but the style and creativity of the disco were decided by Naoki Nagayama. Naturally, he would not directly disturb his boss for such a thing, but now that people are here, by the way
It's okay to mention it.
"Haha, Omo~" Nagayama Naoki smiled and looked towards the dance floor, "Is he here today?"
"No, he usually comes over two days on weekends."
"That's a bit of a pity." Nagayama Naoki usually stays at home on weekends and won't come to the disco. "Let's talk about it next time we have a chance. What's his name?"
"My name is Otomo Katsuhiro."
It seems a bit familiar. Where have you heard it?
Nagayama Naoki didn't think much about it, "Well, Shigechi-san, it's almost done, I'll go back first~"
"Hey, Naoki-san, don't you want to play for a while?"
"Haha, what's the point of coming to a disco?" Nagayama Naoki said as he was about to go out through the door, but when he opened the door, he suddenly thought of something. He returned to the backstage and found a lifelike jack-o'-lantern of a suitable size.
"Mozhi-san, I'm sorry, can I take this jack-o'-lantern with me?"
Araki Shigechi was full of questions, but he quickly reacted: "Of course, if Naoki-san needs it, it's okay to get a few more!"
"Haha, just one is enough~"
Nagayama Naoki returned to the sports car, put the jack-o'lantern on the passenger side, and then stuffed the walkman into the jack-o'lantern's mouth.
When you press the switch, yellow light can be emitted, but through your eyes you can see a shadow inside the light...
"This should give you a Halloween atmosphere~"
.......
When he saw Nagayama Naoki driving home, Yotaro, who had been bored in the house for most of the day, was very excited and jumped back and forth around his owner.
"Yingtaro, stop rubbing against me!"
The big dog completely ignored this order and stood on its hind legs, putting its front paws on Naoki Nagayama, thinking of coming up and licking him randomly.
"If you keep doing this, I'll use my ultimate move!"
Seeing that the dog didn't respond, Naoki Nagayama took out the pumpkin lantern and pressed the switch. Yellow light rushed out from the eyes and mouth of the pumpkin lantern, flickering on and off. In the dim room without turning on the lights,
The whole jack-o'-lantern seems to be alive.
Yotaro had obviously never seen such a thing before, and was a little scared for a moment. Naoki Nagayama took the opportunity to approach with a jack-o'-lantern.
"Yutaro, the pumpkin monster is here, ah la la la la~"
The young and ignorant dog was restrained by the owner's shameless tricks and had to hide everywhere. When he was driven to the corner, he couldn't help but cover his eyes with his front paws and once again let out a "嘤嘤嘤" cry for mercy.
"Hahaha, I made you disobedient!"
I put the pumpkin lantern on the cabinet. I didn’t expect that this prop could be used in this way~
After turning on the light, Nagayama Naoki found that the light on the answering machine in the living room was flashing. This meant that a call was coming.
Walk over and press the answer button:
"Moses Moses, President Nagayama, this is Muramatsu Hoshi from the Public Employment Security Office. Regarding your previous recruitment needs with us, we have found a more suitable candidate for you. Please contact us when you have time.
, make an appointment for the interview time. Above."
The manager of the cafe had news. Looking at the sky outside, Nagayama Naoki directly pressed the call back button.
"Bo~Bo~Bo~"
"Moses Moses, this is Sei Muramatsu from Shibuya Public Employment Security Office." It looks like it's a work phone number.
"Good afternoon, Muramatsu-san. My name is Naoki Nagayama. I heard your previous phone message, so I called you."
"Ah, President Yongshan." The voice of turning over documents was heard from the microphone, "For the teahouse manager you wanted to recruit before, we have found two candidates for you, both of whom are experienced employees. What time do you see?
Is it convenient for me to come for an interview?”
"It's great to have news so soon. As for the interview time, are they available?"
"Hi, both of you are currently unemployed."
"Then let's set it at 10 a.m. tomorrow. I remembered to fill in the address of the cafe, right? Let's do the interview in the cafe~" Nagayama Naoki plans to do the interview directly in the cafe. If possible, it can be considered as a way to learn about the job in advance.
place.
"Hi, then I will inform the two candidates, President Yongshan, that at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, they will bring the insurance documents to the coffee shop for interviews!"
"ok!"
After hanging up the phone, Naoki Nagayama began to think about his previous interview skills. After all, he had interviewed many people in his previous life, such as psychological personality tests and star behavior analysis methods...
After thinking about it for a long time, I just felt like my brain was getting bigger, "Well, forget it, I'm the boss, as long as it suits me!"
After the show was done, Nagayama Naoki instantly felt relaxed~
Originally, the purpose of opening this cafe was not to make money. If we still care about the abilities of employees at this time, will we also need to start performance appraisals later?
Then we have to establish an assessment system, set KPI indicators, strengthen management, carry out PUA, and finally become an annoying greasy boss.
Nagayama Naoki shouldn’t be so tired!
"Forget it, let's watch TV~"
The lazy guy lay down directly on the sofa, turned on the TV, and started watching a strange variety show.
.......
Yoshimura Otomo did not attend the preview screening in the morning, nor did he stay in his usual studio. Instead, he received Sugiura Oyasu, the leader of Fuji TV's First Production Department, in a coffee shop.
A few days ago, Sugiura Oyasu got Yoshimura Otomo's phone number from the minister, and then made an appointment with Yoshimura Otomo at this time to meet.
Yoshimura Otomo and Sugiura Oyasu had a relationship several times.
When "The Wonderful Story of the World" was broadcast on Fuji TV, when Yoshimura Otomo invited the director of the first production department, Takano Ikki, to dinner, Sugiura Oyasu accompanied him as a subordinate of the director;
When "Wonderful Story of the World" was sold semi-forcedly, Sugiura Oyasu sat aside and watched the "communication" between Takano Ikki and Yoshimura Otomo.
"Sugiura-san, long time no see. How are you doing?"
After Yoshimura Otomo arrived, he greeted him very warmly. Although he didn't know what the others wanted to talk about, he was a member of the production bureau after all, and it would be right to build a good relationship.
Sugiura Oyasu looked at the high-spirited Yoshimura Otomo. Although he was still a middle-aged Mediterranean, his expression and confidence were completely different from the middle-aged man who was still a little depressed at that time.
At that time, the three people from Shuyou Pictures had just gotten together.
The advertising resources negotiated before were snatched away by Johnny. With the compensation from Johnny, the Wildcats Group, which they had finally won, were snatched away by Burning Agency. Then, with the compensation given by Burning Agency,
I worked hard to create a program at Fuji TV, but it was forcibly "bought" by the head of the production bureau...
At that time, it was the lowest point among the lowest points. In addition, Yoshimura Otomo left his old club in a fit of anger. It was a time of hesitation, and the whole person exuded an aura of middle-aged hardship.
And now, the idol singer under Yoshimura Otomo is very popular, and the film business can already discuss with the president of Kadokawa Group how to sprint for the Oscar!
The whole person has a feeling of high spirits.
Otasu Sugiura recalled it and couldn't help feeling a little emotional, how much has changed in less than two years.
"Yoshimura-san, it's been a long time~" Sugiura Otai motioned to the waiter to take the order, "Recently, everything has been the same as it was before, barely making ends meet, but Yoshimura-san has changed a bit, and everything seems to be going well!"
"Hahaha, no matter where~ I'm just trying to make ends meet."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Fangcun Dayou ordered some coffee and then went directly to the topic. After all, the two of them were not familiar with each other, so there must be a reason for asking him out this time.
"Sugiura-san, do you have any instructions for calling me here this time?"
"How dare you give orders...Hahaha, Yoshimura-san, stop joking. I invited you here this time because I want to ask you for advice." Sugiura Oitai had originally planned to lower his profile, but when he saw Yoshimura Otomo's
After my mental outlook, I became even more convinced of this fact.
"Can I ask for advice?" Yoshimura Otomo was puzzled, "With my limited ability, is there anything I can do to help Sugiura-san? If so, I will do my best."
"Arigado!" Having such an attitude is a good start, "I'm sorry, but it's actually about "Wonderful Stories of the World"..."
Sugiura Oyasu explained that the program is now facing a dilemma of declining broadcast market share and may even be withdrawn, and he wanted to ask Homura Otomo for advice on how to achieve such high broadcast volume in the past.
Yoshimura Otomo thought about it carefully. The reason why this program became so popular in the first place is that apart from the novelty of the story, there seems to be nothing else, right?
The filming team was originally from commercials, and the actors were guest appearances from the staff. The only few professional actors were actually not very famous.
Oh, by the way, Higuchi Kananko is already a well-known actor.
If there were any tips, Yoshimura Otomo only thought of one:
The screenwriter of "Wonderful Story of the World" is Naoki Nagayama!
But how should I tell Sugiura Oitai about this?
"Arnold... If Sugiura-san suddenly asked me this question, I wouldn't be able to answer it for a while." Otomo Yoshimura pondered for a moment, "You know, Sugiura-san, I'm actually mainly responsible for business matters, the program
The creation and production of "The Movie" are actually the responsibility of two people, Shuichi Indo and Naoki Nagayama."
Otasu Sugiura nodded: "I see, if that's the case, then you have to ask Director Shuichi Indo and Mr. Naoki Nagayama, right?"
“If you are more interested in the content, you really need to ask them~”
"So Yoshimura-san, can I go visit you two?"
"Now?" Yoshimura Otomo could feel Otasu Sugiura's anxious mood. It seemed like there was a lot of pressure from above, "At the moment, Shuichi-san is filming a movie in a closed studio, so he may not be free."
After experiencing the incident of running away from home, the management and the production team almost wanted to lock Shuichi Yun Tang inside the set.
"Ah, if the filming is closed, there is really nothing we can do." Sugiura Oyasu knew about the filming of the movie, "And where is the screenwriter Naoki Nagayama?"
"Naoki-san, you should be busy with a preview of a movie at this time."
"Preview screening? Shuyou Pictures has produced a new movie?"
"Ah, yes, it was directed by Naoki-san."
Otasu Sugiura was surprised: "Eh? Isn't Naoki Nagayama the screenwriter?"
"Hahaha, screenwriters all have ambitions to be directors~" Yoshimura Otomo said haha, "Sugiura-san, they may not have time today, how about I help you make an appointment with them later?"
"Well...there's nothing we can do about it. I'm sorry to bother Fangcun-san!" Although I'm a little disappointed, there's nothing I can do about it since everyone else is busy.
Although this main thing did not achieve the goal, Sugiura Otayoshi was also curious about Yoshimura Otomo's huge changes. In the following time, they started chatting all over the world.
Yoshimura Otomo also wanted to build a good relationship with the production bureau, and the two chatted enthusiastically.
Eventually it got to the point where we went drinking together.
When it was time to say goodbye, Sugiura Oitai was already feeling dizzy, but he still didn't forget to say:
"Otomo-san, please remember to help me make an appointment with the two of them!"
"Don't worry, Da Taisang, there will be absolutely no problem!"
