397, Naoki Nagayama feels like his body is being hollowed out~
......dragonfly
While I am busy preparing for "Hot Blood High School", I also need to consult on the process of publishing my own novel.
The real estate agent is talking about signing a contract, and I have to pay attention to Shinobazuike's surprise preparations from time to time...
Nagayama Naoki feels that he has been very busy during this time.
"I always feel like my body has been hollowed out~"
In the hottest weather, this guy was hiding alone in the living room of Yamasakura-in, stroking Mewtaro under the cold wind of the air conditioner, while still muttering and complaining,
"It is said that once you have money, you will be free, free and happy, but why do I feel so busy~"
Nyaotarou closed his eyes slightly, looking very much enjoying himself, while Nyaotaro next to the sofa opened his mouth, stuck out his tongue, and made a silly and cute expression.
"Sure enough, Taro Taro also thinks I'm stupid for doing this, right? I don't know how to enjoy life~"
"Woof!" (You can pull it down!)
........
The reason why Nagayama Naoki is still staying at home at this time is because two guests are coming to see him at Yamazakura-in.
One is the capable real estate agent Fujita Keiko, and the other is the dedicated senior editor of Shogakukan Kuniji Morikawa.
Both of them wanted to sign a contract with Naoki Nagayama, and it happened to be on the same day~
So Nagayama Naoki set the meeting place at Yamazakura-in... What's wrong? Doesn't the boss have the privilege of door-to-door service?
While Naoki Nagayama was reading a magazine and petting his cat, the doorbell of Yamazakurain rang.
When I walked out and took a look, it turned out to be Keiko Fujita, who was full of energy.
"Naoki-san, here I come~"
Maybe it was a big deal and it was going to be successful. The real estate agent lady looked very energetic, and the makeup on her face was also very delicate. She looked like she was going to a banquet.
Nagayama Naoki opened the door: "Keiko-san~ Come in quickly!"
"Good morning, Taro Taro~" Keiko Fujita greeted the big dog who came up to her. Now Taro Taro seemed to remember her and was not afraid of strangers.
"Go and play next to it~" Naoki Nagayama scolded Taro lightly, and then brought Keiko Fujita to the table, "Keiko-san, you have brought the contract over, right~"
"Hey, everything is ready!" Keiko Fujita quickly took out a thick stack of contract text from her briefcase, "The seller has already signed it, and it will be done after Naoki-san signs the contract and pays the payment. The property rights have been processed.”
"Ha, let's get it done quickly. Then I will ask the designer to re-plan the courtyard~" Naoki Nagayama thought of his old comrade Honma again at this time, "I hope I can go to Kyoto to escape the heat next summer. ~”
Yes, that garden in Kyoto is used as a summer resort~
"Hi!"
Keiko Fujita no longer has time to think too much about the luxurious life of the rich. Spending billions of yen to escape the summer heat is no more important than the current contract.
You know, if this deal is completed, Mitsui Fudosan will at least get a huge intermediary fee, and as the team leader, I can get at least 10 million or more in performance rewards!
Rounding things off, I am now a little rich woman!
Keiko Fujita imagined her future beautiful life in her head and laughed.
"Keiko-san, what's wrong?"
Nagayama Naoki is still reading the contract. Although it has been signed many times, this time it is a courtyard, so it will be a little more troublesome.
"Ah, silly tape! Naoki-san, do you have any questions? I can explain it to you!" Ms. Fujita Keiko was full of energy and diligently explained various terms of the contract to Naoki Nagayama.
It took about half an hour for Nagayama Naoki to finally sign his name on the contract.
"Hey, the last signature is complete!" Keiko Fujita said, "Once the funds are in place, you can get the property rights in about two weeks!"
"Ha, that's good. I'm also curious about how the property rights of such a noble courtyard are different from other houses~" Naoki Nagayama poured a glass of water for Keiko Fujita, "Speaking of which, I haven't even talked to that noble house yet. I've seen him before. What does he think about selling the courtyard?"
"That Chinese guy... is actually almost the same as a hard-working white-collar worker~" Keiko Fujita recalled the previous meeting, "But it seems that he failed to start a company, and then he was no longer able to afford the repairs and maintenance of the house. ~"
"It is said that if I get the money, I want to settle in the United States~"
Ha, Japanese people in this era regard it as an honor to settle in the United States. Nagayama Naoki didn't take it seriously, and continued to chat with Fujita Keiko about the land in Lake Toya, and made an appointment after the property rights processing was completed. , I looked for an opportunity to go to Lake Toya and see it for myself.
"Naoki-san, is the land on the other side of Lake Toya used for winter?"
"Hahaha~ You can think about it, there are many hot springs over there."
Nagayama Naoki actually regards it as a place for autumn vacation~
In spring, summer, autumn and winter, there is a place for vacation. This kind of life may be regarded as the life of the rich.
Overseas? Haha, it’s best to have it in every city!
Just as Naoki Nagayama was sending Keiko Fujita out, another car parked outside, and then Kuniji Morikawa walked out of the car wearing glasses.
"Ha, that's a perfect connection." Naoki Nagayama waved towards the senior editor, "Kuniji-san, you're here~"
Keiko Fujita saw that Naoki Nagayama had a guest and left quickly: "Since Naoki-san has a guest, I will leave first."
"Hey, see you later!"
"Well, bye~" Keiko Fujita carried her briefcase and walked out of Yamazakura-in. On the way, she and Kuniji Morikawa bowed slightly to each other.
When Kuniji Morikawa walked to the door, he smiled at Naoki Nagayama and said, "Ha, excuse me Naoki-san~"
"...That's my real estate agent." The literati's brain is dirty!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Oh? Naoki-san is going to buy a new house?" Kuniji Morikawa chatted casually, and also touched Yutaro's head after entering the door.
"I've already bought it, and I just signed the contract." Nagayama Naoki closed the door and poured ice water on Morikawa Kuniji, "I have a lot of contracts to sign today~"
"Hahaha~ The contract has already been signed~" Kuniji Morikawa said with a smile on his face, "Then the next step should be my contract~"
As he spoke, he also took out a stack of contract documents from his briefcase... and two trial printing books, one with red and one blue covers, full of literary and artistic atmosphere.
Naoki Nagayama also signed the novel publishing agreement more than once. This time "Love Sky" has not changed much, except that the royalty share has reached 15%, and 200,000 copies have been printed for the first time. This is already a well-known author level.
The price of each copy is set at around 600 yuan, and there are two volumes, so if it is published for the first time, you can get about 36 million yuan in royalties.
Naoki Nagayama is already very insensitive to numbers, so after hearing the amount of royalties, he just said lightly: "There are so many~"
"Hey, there will be more subsequent printings, at least more than 200 million! I have confidence in Naoki-san's novel!"
"Hahaha, thank you Kunji-san!" Nagayama Naoki picked up two novels. The first half of the volume was fresh sky blue, like the youth of high school; the second half was light purple, like mature love. ~
“The layout is also very good~”
"As long as Naoki-san thinks there are no problems, if nothing happens, we will complete the printing in about a week and then release it nationwide."
Kuniji Morikawa was completely satisfied with the author Naoki Nagayama, and it was a perfect work. There was no need to worry about the most arduous task of urging, revising, and proofreading, as long as it was published and published.
It just makes me, a senior editor, feel a little bit useless.
"Then thank you Bunji-san!"
........
What's the point of chatting with an old man? Naoki Nagayama quickly sent Kuniji Morikawa away without even leaving lunch.
Editors always treat authors to dinner, so how can an author stay with an editor?
After serving lunch to his cats and dogs at Yamasakura-in, he took a nap in the yard. It wasn't until the hottest part of the day passed that Naoki Nagayama drove to the studio.
Pushing open the door of the studio, the layout of yesterday's casting meeting has been returned to its original position. Yoshimura Otomo and Itou Shuichi are both sorting out yesterday's results in the office, and then calling various offices to inform them.
"Yes, we think Honda Kyouaki is very suitable for this movie, but the specific role cannot be determined until the makeup is applied." Itou Shuichi was on the phone to the agency, "Hi, I also ask Honda-kun to go to Nagano the day after tomorrow. On the set, we will decide on the spot."
After explaining the address clearly, Itou Shuichi looked at Nagayama Naoki who came in.
"Have you finished taking care of your personal business?"
"Hey, both contracts have been signed~the two worries are over." Nagayama Naoki said, "How are you doing here?"
"Everyone who needs to be notified has almost been notified." Itou Shuichi glanced at the list in his hand, "But Naoki-san, the male actors have already been completed, what about the female characters?"
"Well~" Mingcai Company's unexpected rejection suddenly turned this into a problem.
Yoshimura Otomo suggested: "The three Maoyan sisters happen to be scheduled, how about one of them come to play? How about Akiyama Princess?"
"As for the three cat-eye sisters, I still hope that they will appear in front of the public as a whole." Naoki Nagayama refused, "Otomo-san, how was your recent chat with Etsurou Kikuchi?"
"Well...he is still considering our proposal~ If we make a show first, it is equivalent to an early investment."
"Haha, that's the one who's worried anyway, so let's just wait until he agrees~" Naoki Nagayama is very confident that Etsurou Kikuchi will compromise in the end, just like a drowning person who will always grab the last one. Of straw.
"As for an actress, let's find one from an acquaintance from the past."
Who should I call for help? Higuchi Kananko? Tanaka Yuko? Okada Nana?
The first two seem a bit older, and Nana Okada's temperament is too gentle, which is not suitable for a bad movie, and she doesn't have the sassy temperament of Aizawa Ruka.
I was thinking about it in my head, but suddenly I thought of Mieko Harada, who I worked with in "Boys Over Flowers".
"Shuiichi-san, I remember Mieko-san should be free recently, right?"
"Well... I guess, it seems like I'm taking a break after "Boys Over Flowers"." As for the actors he has worked with, Shuichi Ido maintained basic contact, "Naoki-san wants Mieko-san to play the role of Feng." Zeruka?"
"Hey, I just don't know if Mieko-san can sing..."
.......
"Of course!"
Mieko Harada laughed loudly on the phone, "Although I'm not as good as a singer, there's still no problem with karaoke!"
"What's wrong, Naoki-san wants to invite me to sing?"
Why is this young lady so enthusiastic? Didn’t you see that Itou Shuichi and Yoshimura Otomo across from each other were already in a melon-eating posture?
"Ahem, Mieko-san, I actually have a role that I want you to play." Naoki Nagayama said seriously, "A very handsome girl character who can sing R&B."
"Oh? Is it Naoki-san's latest movie "High School"?" Mieko Harada asked on the phone.
"Hi! Does Mieko-san know that we are going to shoot this movie?"
"The entertainment industry is very concerned about the actions of Shuyou Pictures~" Mieko Harada said, "In addition to movies, even the next TV series of Shuyou Pictures is a topic."
"Hahaha, really?"
"Naoki-san should communicate more with people in the industry, so that you can probably know how much attention Shuyou Pictures is currently receiving."
Indeed, in more than two years, four popular movies and three high-quality TV series have been produced. Such achievements may not even be achieved by the five major film production companies in Tokyo.
Shuyou Pictures has transformed from an emerging film and television production company to a well-known film and television company in the industry. Although it does not have as much say in the industry as established production companies, it has a tendency to develop towards established companies.
Now several other big names in the industry are envious of the Kadokawa Group for taking a shareholding so early.
This is just like a venture capital company growing into a unicorn~
"I will definitely take Mieko-san's suggestion into consideration~" Naoki Nagayama was also thinking about when he would have tea with Director Masaki Kobayashi again. "So, about the role?"
"I happen to be free during this period~" Harada Mieko's attitude was very friendly, "Anyway, let me read the script first~"
"Ha, okay, let's go out for dinner tonight~I'll bring you the script~"
"Hi~"
Naoki Nagayama and Mieko Harada made an appointment for a place and time to eat, and then hung up the phone.
When he looked up, he saw Itou Shuichi and Yoshimura Otomo looking at him teasingly.
"What's wrong? I'm just going to watch the script and have a meal by the way."
"If you read the script, why don't you come to the studio?" Yoshimura Otomo rolled his eyes, "It's obviously Naoki-san who wants to have dinner with Mieko-san, right?"
"Eh? How can you slander someone's innocence like this?"
Nagayama Naoki is really a little innocent this time. Isn't this the same as having a meal with a client? Does it mean that because I am so handsome, do you think I have bad intentions?
"Hahaha~ We believe you!" Itou Shuichi gave a perfunctory gesture, "But remember not to be photographed by the paparazzi! I don't want "Hot Blood High School" to be filming while the scandals between the director and the actors are flying everywhere... .."dragonfly
