297, Has the flag established at the beginning of the year been completed?
.......
From Nakano towards Shinjuku,
The black Toyota Century was parked at an empty intersection, calmly waiting for the red light to disappear.
Nagayama Naoki held a rectangular paper card in his hand and looked at it for a while, "concertinosaka Tokyo", the place is in Osaka, the time is December 26, 5 o'clock in the afternoon...
"In that case, it's almost New Year~"
Naoki Nagayama thought about how Akina had just taken Akina back to her apartment and hurriedly took out the ticket from her small bag after getting off the car.
"Naoki-san must come and see you!" the girl Akina said, and then walked into the apartment building with brisk steps.
"Hi, I will definitely go and see it!"
The street lights turned green, and the pure black car restarted, melting into the black night like a drop of water.
........
Early the next morning, Nagayama Naoki, who had developed a biological clock, opened his eyes.
I opened the curtains, but there was no large amount of sunshine pouring in outside the window as usual. It was obviously a clear sky yesterday, but it turned into a cloudy sky this morning.
"This weather... doesn't seem to be suitable for morning jogging..."
That being said, Naoki Nagayama still started his daily exercise with Taro Taro. After finishing a lap, he took the milk and newspapers from the mailbox at the door.
Put the bread slices into the toaster and the milk into the microwave. Then Naoki Nagayama went to the bathroom and took a comfortable hot shower.
By the time we get down, the bread has been toasted and the milk has been heated. All we need to do is fry a poached egg and two slices of bacon, and a nutritious breakfast with meat and vegetables is complete.
While enjoying breakfast, he checked the morning newspaper. Since his interests were related, Naoki Nagayama read the entertainment section first.
On the entertainment page, the announcement of the nominations for the Mainichi Film Awards remains unabated. Many film critics have expressed their judgments on the final results of the nominations and their reviews of the nominated films.
Naoki Nagayama read it carefully. Regarding "That Summer, the Sea of Tranquility", almost all the comments were positive. Occasionally there were one or two comments, which were just indifferent and said that the filming was too obscure and might be harmful.
Something that makes people unable to understand.
Yes, after all, it is a movie recommended by two well-known seniors in the film industry. If you want to criticize the quality of the movie, first of all, you have to be higher than these two celebrities.
Other contents in the entertainment section are tidbits such as a certain celebrity being photographed on a date with a certain person...
To be honest, when I just saw the title, Nagayama Naoki reflexively thought that he was photographed taking Akina to watch a movie yesterday.
Fortunately, the report was talking about other celebrities, which made people breathe a sigh of relief.
If you want to go out to play in the future, you should still wear a mask and sunglasses!
After breakfast, Nagayama Naoki fell into the trouble of doing nothing.
Preparations for "Boys Over Flowers" are in full swing, but if the starring role has been confirmed, the only thing left is to attract investment and sponsorship. With Fuji TV's name at the forefront, Sugiura Otasu should be able to do it smoothly;
The matter of film awards is still in the process of fermentation, but...it seems that this time he does not need to go on stage to do anything else. Kobayashi Masaki and Shinoda Masahiro seem to have taken over the banner, and now he only needs to follow
Just wave the flag and shout from behind;
What else is there to do?
Nagayama Naoki was half lying on the sofa, leaning his head on the back of the sofa, and began to take stock of the goals he had set at the beginning of the year:
1. Purchase land/check: Samadhiju has been renovated and opened, and a tea garden was also bought in Shimizu, Shizuoka;
2. Write/check: "Love Letter" was a big seller;
3. Record release/check: Ito Junko's "Love Sound and Amora", Nakamori Akina's "sndlove", Saito
Yuki's "Dream of Dreams" feels like it's just one person singing, well... both rain and dew are wet;
4. Make a movie/check: "The Story of Hachiko" and "That Summer, the Sea of Tranquility" are being selected for film awards; speaking of which, "The Ring", which has been said to be made, seems to have not been made... .
5. Travel/check: Go to New York and Los Angeles in March, and Hawaii in October;
6. Eating and waiting to die/check: Isn’t that what it is now....
Others set up a g at the beginning of the year, and then take it out, wash it and use it again at the end of the year. However, Nagayama Naoki was different. He found that almost all the goals he had set for this year had been completed!
If you think about it carefully, you will actually feel that you are such a great person!
As each matter was confirmed, Naoki Nagayama began to seriously consider it. There was still half a month until the end of the year. During this half month, should he walk out of the gate of Yamazakura Yard? Or should he watch TV and eat snacks in the living room? , staying home until the New Year?
Fortunately, his reverie was interrupted by the sudden ringing of the phone. Fangcun Otomo called:
"Naoki-san, come to the studio today~"
"What's wrong?" Nagayama Naoki was puzzled. There should be nothing wrong?
Yoshimura Otomo reminded: "We need to discuss the issue of year-end bonuses, Shuichi-san is also here."
"Ah...I see...Okay, I'll be over in a minute."
Putting down the phone, Nagayama Naoki recalled the experience of the three of them going to Mitsubishi Bank to withdraw 30 million in cash almost a year ago, and then walking on the road in fear of being robbed.
I probably won’t have to go there again this year...
.....
Since they were going to the studio, Naoki Nagayama did not leave Taro at home, but took him there with him. However, when he got into the Toyota Century, Naoki Nagayama repeatedly warned:
"Yingtaro, this is a car worth more than 20 million yuan! You are not allowed to urinate in the car or anything like that!"
The co-pilot, Yotaro, looked at Nagayama Naoki with innocent eyes, as if to say: "Hontaro is a dog and has no idea what you are talking about~"
However, Nagayama Naoki still threatened: "Yataro, you are also a big bitch, for the sake of your lifelong sexual happiness! If you urinate in the car... I will take you to be sterilized!" Your balls are cut!"
Although he didn't understand what his master was saying, he saw his malicious eyes lingering on his lower body. He couldn't help but shrink his hind limbs, and pulled down his forelimbs, blocking them with his whole body.
In less than half an hour, Nagayama Naoki arrived at the studio.
When the door was opened, a gust of cold wind blew into the office as the door opened, and the young man sitting near the door visibly trembled.
"Naoki-san, you're here~" Riko Hayano, who was making coffee, saw Naoki Nagayama and said hello a little tiredly.
Naoki Nagayama shook off his windbreaker and brushed off the twigs that had just stuck to his body.
"Riko-chan, you feel very tired. Have you started drinking coffee in the morning?"
"Hey, I was a little late working overtime while writing the plan yesterday..."
"Is it about Yuki Saito's debut plan?"
After listening to his own suggestions yesterday, he worked overtime to write a plan... Thinking that he actually invited people to watch a movie last night, Nagayama Naoki felt a little guilty in his heart, and then showed the capitalist's crocodile tears:
"Riko-chan, you've worked so hard, there's no need to be so anxious~"
As he walked towards the office, he said: "It will take some time for Yuki-chan to debut, so there is plenty of time."
Riko Hayano said firmly: "But the debut plan should be prepared earlier. This is very important for Yuki-chan, and it is also very important for Shuyu Pictures! It's just a little overtime~"
Where can I find such a good employee who can pressure and encourage himself!!!
That's all
Only such an employee can buy a big villa and drive a car! Riko-chan, if you work hard, I can marry you a boss lady next year!
Nagayama Naoki's thousands of words of emotion were turned into one sentence: "Gangba daddy, Riko-chan!"
"Hi!"
...
Open the office door,
There are two uncles sitting on three tables in the office, one is the bald Yoshimura Otomo, and the other is the unshaven Itou Shuichi.
Nagayama Naoki exclaimed: "Shuichi-san! Are you...going to wander?"
Fangcun Otomo burst out laughing and almost spilled the hot tea he was bringing to his mouth.
"Hahaha, Shuichi-san, have you gone wandering?"
Itou Shuichi shook his head helplessly: "I didn't care about these things when I was on the set. I didn't think about it after I got home yesterday. When I came here in the morning, I thought I was going to the set. I realized I was going to the wrong place halfway...
..”
"Shuichi-san, you really worked a lot on that movie..." Naoki Nagayama said with admiration, "How is the progress of the movie?"
Speaking of this, Shuichi Itou finally smiled: "It's basically finished, only some reshoots and final editing work are left!"
"Finally...it's over!"
Yoshimura Otomo also smiled at his old friend and said, "Haha, Shuichi-san, we are finally free!"
Speaking of which, Itou Shuichi is also pitiful. He has to face so many things while trying to make a movie...
"By the way, where has Shimizu Renami been? I haven't seen him at all lately?" Naoki Nagayama suddenly remembered the main planner of the film, "I didn't see him last time I went to the set."
Itou Shuichi said: "That guy Shimizu-san is probably in Kadokawa. He was often called there before."
"Oh? Is he going back?" Nagayama Naoki was curious, "It's only been less than a year. It's too lame."
Itou Shuichi shook his head: "No, with the expansion of the office, Kadokawa is paying more and more attention to us. It's okay not to add more people, let alone reduce them."
"Haha, that's right~"
At this time, Yoshimura Otomo interjected: "Forget it, Qingshui-san is also very pitiful, sandwiched between several parties."
He is also an agent and has the most contact with Ren Bo Shimizu in Shuyou Films. Yoshimura Otomo also drank with Ren Bo Shimizu several times. Every time he drank too much, he could feel the pressure of that person.
Itou Shuichi shrugged: "Just listen to Otomo-san~"
Naoki Nagayama also changed the subject: "When Otomo-san called me here, it was about the year-end bonus. Can't we follow the previous plan this year?"
Yoshimura Otomo nodded: "There's no problem. Generally speaking, we can still proceed as before and pay employees according to their qualifications."
"It's mainly about employees who are involved in the shooting of new movies and other employees who are involved in record production and distribution. How to distinguish the two..."
Then Yoshimura Otomo talked about the current situation of the company, as well as the revenue of various businesses, etc.
What Fangcun Dayou really means is that after a year of development, although it is still within the general framework of Shuyou Pictures, with the increase in the number of employees, the business that each person is responsible for has been clearly differentiated, and the profits of Shuyou Pictures are shared.
If so, it seems a bit unreasonable.
Naoki Nagayama also worked as a middle-level manager in a large company in his previous life, and he is somewhat familiar with the problems after the company expands: "So the company is growing rapidly, but there are also troubles~"
Yi Tangxiu smiled and said: "It's just a good thing, isn't it?"
"Haha, that's right~" It's just that management will become more and more tiring. For a large company, management is simply more energy-consuming than business.
Nagayama Naoki got himself a cup of tea and sipped it in small sips. He felt that the company's tea did have a lot less flavor than Samadhiju.
"Otomo-san, Shuichi-san, from now on the tea in the company can also be obtained from my Qingshui Tea Garden~ This kind of tea is a bit bad~"
"..."
Yoshimura Otomo and Itou Shuichi were stunned by Nagayama Naoki's jumping thoughts. Yoshimura Otomo said: "Naoki-san, we are talking about distribution..."
Only then did Nagayama Naoki react and apologized repeatedly: "In private Marseille, I suddenly thought of going somewhere else."
"However, Otomo-san, it would be confusing to suddenly separate employees' year-end bonuses without prior notice~" Naoki Nagayama said, "Shuyou Pictures has only been established for less than two years, and Mina-san has started from scratch together.
Where is the person coming over?"
Itou Shuichi agreed: "Yes, some people have been together since before the company was established."
Although he is aware of these situations, Yoshimura Otomo, who has the most contact with companies in the industry and has the most experience, still said: "But Naoki-san, if we don't distinguish them, then for those who work harder and do more business, they will not be punished.
Is it fair?"
Inexplicably, Naoki Nagayama thought of Riko Hayano, whom he had just met.
"Yes, Otomo-san is right."
"But for this year, forget it, the Chinese New Year is only half a month away~" It's the end of the year, so why bother? "Starting from next year, we will restructure the company's structure and integrate the film and television business.
Let’s separate the recording business, brokerage business and other miscellaneous businesses.”
"Otomo-san is coordinating all sales business, and is also in charge of the daily operations of the record and brokerage business. He has two teams under him to perform specific tasks. Shuichi-san is responsible for the daily management of the film and television business, and there are also two teams...
Naoki Nagayama quickly cut through the clutter and clearly divided powers and responsibilities, "I am responsible for overall coordination, and then each department will issue year-end bonuses based on business revenue at the end of the year."
"The main reason is that the employees below are separated. It's best not to take care of multiple businesses. But the three of us have to take care of it most of the time. Anyway, the three of us... don't get year-end bonuses~"
"As for the specific rules and regulations, Otomo-san will compare them with other companies and come up with them early next year~"
After talking about it for a while, the general direction was set, and Yoshimura Otomo nodded: "Just follow Naoki-san's wishes. This year, we will follow last year's year-end bonus plan."
"However, the company has made a lot of money this year, so we should give out at least 50 million as a year-end bonus."
Nagayama Naoki added that according to this standard, each person in a company with more than 30 people can receive at least more than 1 million yen, which is almost half a year's salary!
Then... I still have the year-end bonus from the disco and the red envelope from the cafe, but this will come from my own coffers.
Itou Shuichi thought about the previous divisions and suddenly thought: "Naoki-san, you are responsible for the overall coordination... In fact, you don't care about anything, right?"
"Eh?! Shuichi-san, how can you slander people randomly!!" Nagayama Naoki was "very angry", "What is a coordinator? Coordinator means taking care of everything! The debut of a new idol, the filming of a new TV show, a new
The script of the movie...I'm very busy, okay!"
Yoshimura Otomo was amused by this quibbling tone,
"Hahaha, Naoki-san, just say so if you want to be lazy~"
And Shuichi Itou carefully savored Naoki Nagayama's words: "The new idol is Saito Yuki, the new TV is "Boys Over Flowers"... Naoki-san, what is the new movie? There is also a new movie
?I do not know how?"
"Um..." Nagayama Naoki originally wanted to talk about it next year, but Shuichi Itou caught him, "Ah, I originally wanted to talk about it next year. I wrote a script for a horror movie before, so I thought
Let’s see if it can be filmed next year.”
"Horror movie?!" Itou Shuichi was excited. You must know that Shuyu Pictures' first pot of gold "Wonderful Story of the World" has a lot to do with horror movies. Later, "The Ghost Story" created a fake documentary horror movie.
