On the playground with splashes of mud and water, only one rickety but still standing body was left. As the dark clouds dispersed, the brilliant sunset appeared in the distance in the sky, bringing a fateful shock to the figure's final roar.
.
Naoki Nagayama, Shuichi Itou and Masataka Komori looked at the carefully edited scene on the small screen, as if they were seeing a treasure made by their own hands, and the more they looked at it, the more pleasing they became.
After working overtime for more than half a month, the editing work of "Hot Blood High School" is finally coming to an end.
However, after seeing the latest segment, Komori Masataka said: "Naoki-san, Shuichi-san, after a series of foreshadowing and teasing, the audience's mood is at its highest point! I think if we end here, we have just reached the peak!
"
Itou Shuichi was a little dissatisfied: "It always felt like something was missing. It stopped abruptly at the highest point~"
"Of course, there is less aftertaste and expectation!" Nagayama Naoki looked serious, and he was definitely not saying anything strange. "At least there should be some normal plot as comfort later."
"After all, we still have to leave the audience with suspense and prepare for the next part in advance!"
Shuichi Itou and Masataka Komori looked over immediately: "The next one?"
"Of course!" Nagayama Naoki rolled his eyes, "This is obviously a big IP with the same potential as "The Story of Torajiro" and "Zatoichi"."
"Is that so?" Itou Shuichi has never imagined a long-term series of movies. This is generally a problem that only big production companies will consider.
"As long as the IP of "Hot Blood High School" is launched, it will be a goose that keeps laying golden eggs!" Naoki Nagayama recalled that future movie universes such as Marvel, DC Monsters, etc. will draw the pie for the two of them, "
This generation is Serizawa Tamao, Shuichi-san will take a picture of the next generation's Takizawa Genji, and Masataka-kun will take a picture of the next generation's Suzuran Overlord, who will it be?
Such updates and iterations will make the popularity of Suzuran High School take root among young people."
"As long as bad groups still exist and as long as young people still exist, this kind of IP will not lose its vitality!"
After a meal of cheating, Shuichi Itou and Masataka Komori were very excited. Sure enough, as bosses, other conveniences are not important, but the ability to paint a pie for employees must be practiced well.
Nagayama Naoki does not intend to continue to participate in the remaining content in person. Today is already the weekend. In the evening, he and Yoshimura Otomo will go to meet an old fox, which is another tiring task.
The driver in the evening was the newly arrived Takeharu Kawahara. Naoki Nagayama and Otomo Yoshimura were sitting in the back seat chatting about the arrangements for the dinner.
"As for today, Otomo-san didn't tell me that I would go there, right?" Nagayama Naoki asked Yoshimura Otomo next to him.
"Hi, I didn't say anything at all." Yoshimura Otomo nodded and replied, "I just said that I would further discuss cooperation."
"Then I won't participate in the discussion for the time being. Otomo-san will just chat with the other side according to his previous attitude. Anyway, I will join in when the opportunity arises."
Naoki Nagayama planned to give the other side a surprise, "Otomo-san, just cooperate with me depending on the situation today. We must capture that old guy!"
"Hi!"
The venue for the treat is an old-fashioned Japanese restaurant in Azabu Juban. As a famous wealthy area in Minato City, there are many high-rise buildings here, but there are also various long-established boutique shops. From time to time, you can see different skin colors on the road.
It is also a place where Eastern and Western cultures blend with foreigners.
Nagayama Naoki saw through the window the convenient facilities outside, the neat and orderly streets, the exquisite high-end shops and the quiet residences in the middle of the bustle, and felt that the desire to buy in his heart was ready to move again.
“It would be great if I could buy a house here in the future~it’s so convenient~”
Yoshimura Otomo laughed when he heard this. He only learned that Nagayama Naoki bought a courtyard house in Kyoto two days ago, and then bought an apartment in Nakano. Now he actually wants to buy a house again?
"Naoki-san, are you too obsessed with real estate? You already have almost 10 properties in your possession, right?"
Nagayama Naoki glanced at him: "Otomo-san, didn't I tell you before? Real estate is definitely the best way to invest in this decade! If you don't buy more units now, you will definitely regret it later!"
"Hahaha, Naoki-san still likes to persuade people to buy houses." Otomo Yoshimura smiled and said to Kawahara Takeharu who was driving in the front seat, "Takeharu-kun, if you want to buy real estate, you must follow Naoki-san~"
"Hahaha~" Takeharu Kawahara could only smile in agreement.
"If you don't believe it, just wait and see~"
It's not enough to persuade people, but Nagayama Naoki still knows about it, and now he only mentions it occasionally.
When they arrived at the reserved restaurant, Naoki Nagayama and Otomo Yoshimura got off the car, leaving only Takeharu Kawahara to stay and look at the car before sending them back.
Now that I don’t have to drive myself, it feels much more convenient to drink.
The private room had already been reserved. After telling their names, they followed the waiter's guidance and quickly arrived at a Japanese-style room. Inside were Etsuro Kikuchi and Masato Arai.
This is the third time Masato Arai has accompanied his old boss to have a drink with Otomo Yoshimura. He has also tried to persuade him many times, but Otomo Yoshimura, an old fox, will not let go.
On his side, Kikuchi Etsurou seems to be in a daze. He must want the management rights of the three Maoyan sisters, which makes him a little bored now. However, he still needs to establish an image of loyalty and kindness in the workplace, and
Had to come.
But this time it’s a bit strange. In the past, Fangcun Daiyu came alone, but this time he actually brought a junior. Is it to let him get to know him? But he seems familiar?
"Kikuchi-san, Arai-san, it's a little late." Yoshimura Otomo greeted him warmly as he entered the door. After all, after drinking so much, we can be considered fair-weather friends, so it's normal to be intimate.
"Yangcun-san!" Both of them nodded, "We have just arrived."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yoshimura Otomo did not introduce the meaning of Naoki Nagayama next to him, and sat directly opposite, Naoki Nagayama also sat silently next to him.
"Yoshimura-san, what have you been busy with recently?" They are all old foxes, so naturally they can't go straight to the topic right away. Kikuchi Etsurou started with greetings.
"The main thing is the announcement of Yutaka Ozaki's second album. I've been really busy lately." Yoshimura Otomo took a sip of water very naturally, and then talked about his recent main work.
Masato Arai nodded in approval: "Ozaki Yutaka's album really made a huge wave in the industry! I remember it was No. 1 on the Oricon Chart last time, right?"
"You really stepped into the realm of first-class singers all of a sudden." Of course Etsurou Kikuchi was aware of the overwhelming publicity.
"Hi, thanks to everyone inside and outside the industry for their support."
Yoshimura Otomo smiled very happily. After all, no one can talk to him without this most popular singer at the moment. It is said that several idol singers have chosen to postpone the release of new songs in order to avoid his sharp influence.
"Your company Koizumi Kyoko's "Half Minute Girl" has also achieved good results!" Yoshimura Otomo also offered a commercial compliment in a timely manner.
Kyoko Koizumi, who debuted in the same batch as Akina Nakamori, is also very popular.
"Hahaha~"
After a period of business exchanges, the food and wine were served, and after several changes of glasses, the atmosphere of the entire dinner was in full swing.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost heightened, Kikuchi Etsurou finally started to get to the point:
"Fangcun-san, in the operation of the three Maoyan sisters we talked about before, you can occupy 20% of the shares of the new firm. This is our greatest sincerity. What do you think?"
Because of drinking, Fangcun Dayou's face had a trace of red, but he was still very cautious: "Didn't I say this before? It's not a matter of shares, but a matter of ownership."
"Even if we cooperate, the ownership rights will still be in the name of our GG Firm."
Masato Arai toasted a glass of wine and helped persuade: "Yangcun-san, actually relying on our resources, the three Maoyan sisters will get more room for development.
Even 20% of the shares will bring more business profits than you have now."
As the head of the media and public relations department of the Burning Agency, Masato Arai is very confident in what he said: "As long as you join the Burning agency, the three Maoyan sisters will receive all the resources and opportunities, whether in announcements, endorsements, advertising, records or film and television.
It will all reach a higher level.”
Kikuchi Etsuro also started to play the emotional card: "Yes, Yoshimura-san, the Wildcats have such potential!"
Yoshimura Otomo still hesitated: "But if this is the case."
"Isn't it the wish of a creator to give his idol group a bigger space?" Etsurou Kikuchi persuaded others while drinking, "When the children grow up, they naturally need their own sky!"
Naoki Nagayama, who was standing by, almost laughed when he heard this. It was obviously poaching, but he could still go so far as to make it so outrageous. These two guys are really thick-skinned!
Fangcun Otomo was vague and refused to say anything, leaving the two people opposite him helpless. They still wanted to continue to persuade: "Fangcun-san"
"Otomo-san will not agree!"
Nagayama Naoki, who was eating and drinking silently on the side, suddenly spoke, which surprised the two people opposite him, "No matter how much you try to persuade me, it's useless!"
Suddenly a young man interrupted, Kikuchi Etsuro was a little angry: "Who are you? How dare you talk like this!"
Only then did Yoshimura Otomo introduce him: "Kikuchi-san, Arai-san, this is my president, Naoki Nagayama!"
I originally thought it was just a handsome back, but I didn't pay much attention to it just now. It was only then that Arai Masato took a serious look:
"I asked why they look so familiar, and it turned out to be Mr. Naoki Nagayama!"
As the head of the media public relations department, Masato Arai has a basic understanding of celebrities from all walks of life.
However, this guy Naoki Nagayama is a bit weird. Except for "Boys Over Flowers" in the first half of the year, he has very little exposure in the entertainment industry, and his current appearance is very different from that time, so he was not recognized at first glance.
"Sorry, I took the liberty to come here and didn't introduce myself. It's really rude."
It is my first time to meet the two people in front of me, so it is a bit strange to suddenly say like this, "I am Naoki Nagayama, this is my first time meeting you, please give me your advice!"
"Hi, I'm Arai Masato/Kikuchi Etsuro, please give me some advice~" the two of them also replied.
However, Kikuchi Etsurou was more concerned after all, and asked anxiously: "Nagayama-san, what did you mean by saying it was impossible just now?"
"It literally means that GG Firm will never give up its operating rights." Naoki Nagayama directly blocked the escape route.
Kikuchi Etsurou immediately became anxious: "Why?!"
"Because I don't allow it!"
Nagayama Naoki said it carelessly, like an innocent and stubborn child,
"My own popular idol has been robbed once, how could it be robbed a second time?"
Looking at Nagayama Naoki's young face, I didn't know for a moment whether what he said was true or false.
Kikuchi Etsurou's eyes also looked towards Yoshimura Otomo, wanting to seek some answers.
However, Fangcun Otomo just kept drinking and eating food at this time, and had no intention of replying at all.
After a while, Masato Arai asked: "Nagayama-san, is there really no room for negotiation? We can increase the shareholding to 30%!"
"There's no need to think about this, Arai-san."
Nagayama Naoki is still very determined,
"I'm not interested in making money~"
"Uh" The two of them were speechless for a moment.
Even Yoshimura Otomo, who was engrossed in eating, raised his head in surprise.
"Ahem." Naoki Nagayama suddenly said his famous words, blushing slightly, "Arai-san, Kikuchi-san, I have a proposal."
Masato Arai sat upright: "Please tell me."
"Recently, people from TBS and I planned a program, and the tentative name is "Twilight Meow"."
Naoki Nagayama thought about his previous conversation with Yasushi Akimoto, "It's a show similar to a talent show, but the format is different."
"We want to create a very civilian idol group by auditioning ordinary high school students as guests on the show."
Arai Masato was surprised when he heard this: "High school student, civilian idol? Nagayama-san, will anyone pay attention to this kind of idol?"
Etsurou Kikuchi shook his head: "This is not an idol at all!"
"Hahaha, what exactly are idols nowadays? After the idol disqualification incident, the public is also very doubtful about this."
Naoki Nagayama smiled and said, "The idols who debuted this year are not very popular anymore."
"This is a civilian idol"
"The popularization of idols is a trend. According to our research and judgment, this idea has great prospects! It is expected to trigger a trend."
Nagayama Naoki told them the answer directly and affirmatively, and continued: "In short, we plan to use the guests on the show to create an idol group, and keep the vitality of the girl group by constantly replacing members.
To create an idol group that breaks the rules and leads the trend of the times, this is what I want to do."
"At the moment, the three Maoyan sisters just want to use it as a gimmick for the first issue."
Nagayama Naoki looked at the two of them, "Wildcats is the original girl group. If possible, we actually want to continue this girl group and become a legacy."
Masato Arai and Etsurou Kikuchi looked at each other: "Is Naoki-san here for this?"
"Hey, apart from the name of the Wildcats, I actually don't have much demand for you two." When bargaining, it is natural to belittle the other party.
"With the participation of TBS producers and Fuji Television Production Bureau, we can already start preparing the program."
"This" Kikuchi Etsurou thought for a moment and thought of the key point, "What Nagayama-san means is that this girl group is not under the name of your agency?"
"Yes, the three of us plan to set up a new company specifically to operate this girl group."
Isn’t this how Nogizaka46 and AKB48 will operate in the future?
Now the two of them understood that Naoki Nagayama was trying to get Etsurou Kikuchi, no, the Burning people behind him to join the gang!
Etsurou Kikuchi is still an old fox after all: "Nagayama-san, in addition to the Wildcats, you should also be interested in the Burning system, right?"
"Ha, that's part of the reason, but it's not necessary. Our strength is almost the same." TBS and Fuji TV, plus Naoki Nagayama and the others, are already considered a powerful alliance in the industry.
However, Nagayama Naoki still proposed: "Of course, if the Burning group can join the team, that would be great.
At present, neither I nor Otomo-san can spare the energy. The producers of TBS are also very busy. The newly established company still lacks a person in charge. If there is someone with such rich qualifications as Kikuchi-san."
Kikuchi Etsurou began to breathe quickly: "What Nagayama-san means is"
"We are willing to hand over the executive president of the new company to you and the shareholding. It needs to be discussed again, but judging from the current situation, it is about 10%."
Nagayama Naoki directly stated the proposal, "After all, it depends on the resources that the Burning system and Kikuchi-san can bring."
Kikuchi Etsuro began to think deeply, and Arai Masato did not speak.
With the road ahead cut off, Kikuchi Etsurou's idea of opening an independent firm was originally a desperate move, but this sudden proposal made Kikuchi Etsurou's heart flutter.
However, Nagayama Naoki has no intention of continuing to accompany them:
"Let's stop talking here. We have finished exchanging our opinions. If Kikuchi-san has decided, please reply as soon as possible. The show will soon enter the preparation stage."
"Well, let's excuse ourselves for today." After saying that, he stood up and motioned to Fangcun Dayou to leave together.
"Huh? This" Fangcun Otomo stood up and said, "Private Marseille."
Then he left with Naoki Nagayama.
Kikuchi Etsuro and Arai Masato didn't have time to persuade them to stay.
When they were almost at the door, Fangcun Dayou opened his mouth and asked, "Zhi Shusang, are you just leaving like that?"
"What's there to talk about?" Nagayama Naoki said casually, "If he agrees, then it's best. If he doesn't agree, then we haven't lost anything. Anyway, we won't be pestering Otomo-san."
"But... I didn't give them time to think about it."
"We are not in a hurry now, we are Kikuchi Etsurou's life-saving straw." Nagayama Naoki thought about Kikuchi Etsurou's anxious look just now, "This is called extreme pressure, and it is one of the common practices of Americans.
But I think he will agree!
If everything goes well, it will be when we go out."
"Yongshan-san! Fangcun-san! Please wait a moment! I agree!"
Kikuchi Etsurou's call came from the stairs behind him.
Yoshimura Otomo looked at Nagayama Naoki in front of him, his eyes widened. Can this guy in front of him know how to pinch?
