When it was time to get off work, Naoki Nagayama just had some free time.
I stretched my waist and rubbed my sore shoulder blades, with a relaxed smile on my face. Finally, the day's work was about to end!
He once again recalled the wish he made when he first arrived in the Showa era, and couldn't help but whisper:
"Sure enough, it's impossible to work part-time. I, Naoki Nagayama, don't want to be a part-time worker!"
At this moment, the office door knocked again, and the smile on Nagayama Naoki's face suddenly turned into a look of mourning.
Hayano Riko opened the door and walked in: "Naoki-san?"
It's already time to get off work. Don't you know that if you are given a job right after get off work, the workers will... take it over without complaining...
"Ah, Riko-chan... Do you still have the documents?"
Ono Riko shook her head, "It was the company of Being Records that called. They wanted to make an appointment with Shuyu Pictures to meet with the president of the company."
being a record?
Nagayama Naoki thought about it and realized that he didn't seem to have any contact with them. Although they were both startup companies for a few years, they were barely on the same front under the pressure of the established production companies.
"Did you say why?"
"It seems to be something the band created..."
Strangely, it seems that there is no band that needs to be created at home? Naoki Nagayama couldn't figure out what the other party meant, but it didn't seem like a bad thing to meet him.
"I understand, Riko-chan and them are sure to meet tomorrow morning, ah no, let's meet tomorrow afternoon." Tomorrow morning is probably still a lot of chores.
"Hi!"
Riko Hayano walked out, and then Naoki Nagayama remembered that this girl's main job was actually the planning of idol creation, and she actually became an office secretary? She was overqualified and overused.
I am temporarily managing the day-to-day affairs, so why not assign a full-time secretary to the really busy Yoshimura Otomo?
Will Otomo-san lose control...
Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Nagayama Naoki looked at the time to get off work and got off work on time.
In Japanese workplace culture, if he doesn't leave, no other employees in the studio office will leave. Even if he leaves, many people will choose to work overtime.
It's not that Naoki Nagayama doesn't want to change this trend, but this habit that is deeply rooted in the culture cannot be easily reversed by one person.
But since you can't change the world, at least don't let the world change you. Naoki Nagayama himself will never work overtime!
I have a dog at home that I need to feed!
.......
Two flowers bloomed, this morning,
Nakano Ward, below Akina Apartment Building.
"Akina-san? What's wrong with you?"
Akina Yukifusa, who came to pick up Akina to go to Hokkaido in the morning, was surprised because Akina Nakamori, who was supposed to be full of energy, actually had dark circles under her eyes and was in a very bad mood.
"Nothing...Akiyuki-san, let's set off!" Akina Nakamori said with a wooden face,
"Ah...Hi~"
Akiyukifusa adhered to the principle of managers not interfering with idols' private lives and did not ask any more questions. However, she was very curious in her heart. How could the always strong Akina Nakamori become like this? What happened?
….Why is it so similar to when female idols fell out of love?
In fact, Akina didn't watch all three episodes last night, because when she watched the seventh episode, there was a famous scene - Hua Zelei kissed Shancai gently in the stairwell.
Yes, it was the very embarrassing scene shot by Naoki Nagayama!
Akina saw it!
Then I didn't sleep well one night...
As the sun sets, Naoki Nagayama, who knows nothing, is still walking relaxedly on the road back to Yamazakura-in.
My eyes were filled with the beautiful scenery along the way. Looking at the cherry blossoms blooming on the roadside, I was still thinking about when to invite Akina out to enjoy the cherry blossoms.
.......
At night, Yamasakura-in was very lively after a long time, because a lively sister came and had already prepared dinner.
After Nagayama Naoki finished the hot meal, Tsuruko began to show his true colors:
"Ni-chan, when will you take me to buy bags?"
Well, yesterday's promise was not to delay even a moment.
"It's the weekend~" Nagayama Naoki came back from the garage and handed her the three video tapes in his hand, "I have to cover for my colleagues these two days."
Tsuruko happily took the video and went to catch up on the show, while Naoki Nagayama could only sit aside and watch together.
To be honest, watching the TV series I acted in is actually quite interesting, because I can remember the interesting scenes during the filming.
"Jingle Bell"
The phone next to the sofa rang, waking up the two people who were watching the show. Naoki Nagayama reached out and picked it up.
"Moses Moses, this is Yamazakura-in."
"Naoki, it's me!" Wonta Nakai's tired voice came from the microphone,
Nagayama Naoki was a little worried: "Yanta, what's wrong? It sounds like there's something wrong with your voice?"
"Ah, it's okay, I just didn't sleep well during this period."
Ever since Nagayama Naoki handed over 2 billion to him for trading, along with his own money, Nakai Wonta couldn't sleep every night, wishing he could stare at the stock market every moment.
"Todoroki? Don't work too hard, Yuan Tai, you are only in your 20s, and you still have a great time ahead of you." Nagayama Naoki thought he was too tired from work.
"Haha, no kidding, Naoki." Wonta Nakai's tone sounded much more formal, "I'm going to the United States during this period. I'll stay for about half a year. Do you want to go with me?"
"To the United States?"
"Yes, I asked the company for an opportunity to be assigned abroad." Wonta Nakai said, "There are still procedures to be processed for such a large amount of funds, and it is more convenient to handle it there. How about it? Do you want to go together?
?”
Nagayama Naoki thought about it for a while: "Yuan Tai, I won't go abroad until probably May. Let's go there then."
Nakai Wonta on the other side of the phone was confused: "Naoki, that's 2 billion yen! Don't you care at all?"
Ah... Naoki Nagayama just remembered that he still has a lot of money in the US stock market.
"Haha, I almost forgot..." Naoki Nagayama laughed, "But I'm very relieved with Mrs. Won. It doesn't matter. I'm going to attend an event in May and will go to the United States to see you.
of."
Almost forgot.......
These four words shocked Wanta Nakai immediately. It turned out that the large amount of money that he had been thinking about was so insignificant to Naoki Nagayama?
….For a moment, Wonta Nakai seemed to see his soul entangled with money laughing at him…
Forget it, I don’t want to talk anymore, just do whatever you want!
Nagayama Naoki noticed that the other person had not spoken for a long time, so he reminded: "Yuan Tai? Yuan Taisang?"
"Hi...I'm here." The voice on the phone sounded a little lifeless.
"Ah, then we agreed to see you again in May. When you arrive in the United States, remember to tell me your address!"
"Hi~"
By the time Nagayama Naoki hung up the phone, Tsuruko had already come over: "Ni-chan, do you want to travel abroad?"
"Yeah, I'm attending an awards ceremony by the way, what's wrong?"
"Hey...that's great, I haven't been abroad yet~" Tsuruko's tone was full of envy.
"Want me to take you?" Nagayama Naoki's words made Tsuruko's eyes shine, but his head was pushed away by Nagayama Naoki, "What a beautiful idea, study hard, make progress every day, and then make your own money and go out to play!
"
"Hey~" Hezi turned his head and ignored his hateful brother.
At this time, Naoki Nagayama looked at the graffiti paintings hanging on the wall of the stairs, and thought of his friend Basquiat and his girlfriend Madonna, whom he had only known for a day in New York.
By the way, have these two broken up now?
Has Madonna started to become famous?
.......
When Naoki Nagayama stepped into the studio office again, he saw no sign of Shuichi Yoto.
This guy decided not to watch Naoki Nagayama being embarrassed today.
The preparation work for "The Three Cat Eye Sisters" has entered the final stage. The production committee has been established and some sponsorships have been secured.
Even Masataka Komori was called out by him to prepare, but there was really nothing he could do. In addition to actors, scripts and shooting equipment, the art museum to be filmed needed to be contacted, and some fakes of precious collections and artworks also needed to be made.
The initial investment this time was similar to that of "Boys Over Flowers", and there were many things that required careful attention from the film crew.
Nagayama Naoki was sitting carelessly in the office at this time, waiting for his subordinates to hand over documents, but after waiting for a long time, there was no one there, which was really strange.
He came out and asked Hayano Riko, who was sitting in the large hall:
"Riko-chan, why are there no documents today?"
"Um..." Ono Riko looked at her somewhat silly president and didn't know what to say for a moment, "Naoki-san, yesterday was the beginning of the month, so there were so many documents that needed to be signed and agreed.
Normally, there aren’t many documents.”
"Huh? What does Otomo-san usually do?"
"Otomo-san usually either promotes announcements and activities for Junko Into, Yuki Saito, and the three wildcat sisters, or contacts customers, maintains relationships, and finds more announcements for the company's artists."
Thinking about it this way, it seems that Otomo-san doesn't have much work at ordinary times? A thought came to Naoki Nagayama's mind: "Should we give Otomo-san a little more responsibility?"
Sure enough, before I knew it, I was already a mature capitalist!
Nagayama Naoki shook his head and figured it out. In addition to these tasks, the production of new albums by his artists, holding concerts, promotion of new labels, etc. are also things that Yoshimura Otomo needs to worry about, not to mention other things.
The administration of the company itself.
….It’s just that I took over the shift during a free period.
"I see, I understand~" Nagayama Naoki smiled at Ono Riko, so that the little girl did not dare to look at him, "Riko-chan, keep busy~"
Sure enough, some time later, employees would still come into the office from time to time, either to sign or to ask for their opinions on a certain matter.
A bit busy, but still acceptable.
.......
In the afternoon, when the scheduled meeting time was approaching, the person from Being Records arrived on time.
What Naoki Nagayama didn't expect was that the founder of Being Records, Nagato Daiyuki, actually came in person and brought a young man with him.
"This is our first meeting. I am Nagato Daiyuki from Being Records. Please give me your advice." Nagato Daiyuki, who looked very mature, introduced himself enthusiastically, "This is our music producer Oda Tetsuro next to me."
"First meeting, Mr. Nagayama, I am Oda Tetsuro, please give me your advice!"
Oda Tetsuro bowed and said hello very humbly, because the guy opposite him, who was younger than himself, actually had several top ten songs on the Oricon charts, and was already very famous in the industry.
"Hi, it's my first time meeting you. I'm Naoki Nagayama. Please give me your advice!"
Facing two polite guys, Nagayama Naoki had to reply according to the complicated etiquette, but it didn't matter, his waist had adapted to the custom of bowing at every turn.
Not to mention Nagato Daiyuki, this young man named Oda Tetsuro seems to be very interesting. Even Naoki Nagayama, who is not much of a Japanese male singer, has heard the song "The End of the World" (Until the End of the World)
).
However, Naoki Nagayama is no longer as excited about the celebrities of later generations as he was when he first arrived in the Showa era. After all, he has seen too many.
After bringing the two people to the conference room, they exchanged a few words and went directly to the topic:
"President Nagato, I heard from someone who contacted me before that I wanted to cooperate, but I don't know what the specific aspects are?"
"Haha, President Yongshan is so direct..."
Nagato Daiyuki was a little surprised. When discussing cooperation with other companies in the past, these guys were all hiding like old foxes, waiting for his side to bring it up first in order to gain the so-called advantage.
"Actually, I took the liberty to come here today because of Rebellion, the new label your company has cooperated with Sony Records, and its singer Yutaka Ozaki."
?Ozaki Yutaka? What happened to that boy?
Nagayama Naoki reviewed it. Ozaki Yutaka's record has just been released recently, but because "Boys Over Flowers" has not yet become fully popular, the sales of the album as the theme song are not very good. However, this guy is very popular in livehouses and seems to attract people.
A large number of fans.
"Ozaki-kun? President Nagato, I don't understand something."
Nagato Daiyuki quickly explained: "President Nagayama, we are currently cooperating with CBS Sony to provide lyrics, music, packaging and so on."
This is also a routine operation for large companies to outsource some work.
"In the process of cooperation, we want to find a singer with great potential to create songs for him."
Nagayama Naoki understood: "So you are attracted to Ozaki-kun?"
…."......Hi!"
I have nothing to hide, I just like her.
During this period, Being Records was in an embarrassing period of neither improving nor falling behind. Although it had a certain strength, the company had no truly popular works, its style was not well defined, and it did not have its own label in the industry.
So I got to know Yutaka Ozaki before, and after Nagato Daiyuki personally observed Yutaka Ozaki's performance, I felt that he had the potential to become a big hit.
I happened to be an artist belonging to Sony Records, so I wanted to ask if I could have a chance...
"President Nagato, you also know that we also value Ozaki-kun very much, so we established a new label specifically for him." Nagayama Naoki was a little funny, "Do you want to take it away?"
"No!" Nagato Daiyuki explained, "We have no big ambitions! We took the liberty to come here, we just want to cooperate with your company."
"How to cooperate?"
"Being is willing to create a record tailored for Yutaka Ozaki!" Nagato Daiyuki pointed to Oda Tetsuro next to him, "Oda-kun has very rich experience in arranging and creating, and has a deep understanding of rock music, so he can create a rock album for Yutaka Ozaki.
.”
Oda Tetsuro seems to be a bit old-fashioned and serious, and does not know how to speak tactfully:
"Forgive me for being offended. Although President Nagayama is also a very famous songwriter, the style of composing music seems to be biased towards female singers. As for male singers..."
Nagato Daiyuki quickly took over: "You must also have very high insights into the field of male singers!"
"But President Nagayama, our Being Records has good experience in the field of male singers and can provide Yutaka Ozaki with more systematic packaging and promotion..."
Nagato Daiyuki kept talking about the services that his company could provide for Ozaki Yutaka, like a door-to-door salesperson. However, Nagayama Naoki did not say no because he had never listened to Japanese rock songs. In his previous life, he used
Of course it’s the girl’s song that comes on loop...
Being Records wanted to use Yutaka Ozaki as a springboard for further development, but Naoki Nagayama also happened to lack the next plan for Yutaka Ozaki, so why not give it to him for free?
"President Nagato, I understand." Nagayama Naoki interrupted him, "Just in time, we are planning Ozaki-kun's next album, and we may try it starting from the production of this album."
Although there is a music producer Tetsuya Komuro, he is still a newcomer with little experience. If a being record is introduced, Yutaka Ozaki's early debut will be smoother.
After receiving the promise, Nagato Daiyuki also showed a smile on his face: "Hey, let's start from here!"
The two presidents have reached a consensus, and subsequent specific matters will naturally be handled by their subordinates.
Later, Naoki Nagayama and Daiyuki Nagato chatted about recent gossips in the entertainment industry, and both of them were very happy.
It was Oda Tetsuro who seemed to want to say something when he looked at Nagayama Naoki, but was always stopped by Nagato Daiyuki.
After making an appointment to have tea next time, the two people from Being Records left.
Naoki Nagayama has returned to his relaxed time.
