At the Nagayama-gumi's old house in Shimizu City, Shizuoka, the younger brother-in-law, Shogo Hamasaki, who is on guard duty, is always a little nervous today.
Yesterday, there were strange people, taking pictures with cameras. When I went up to ask, they all ran faster than rabbits.
After reporting Nagayama Kumahara, the elder brother also took it seriously, thinking that it was probably an investigation by a hostile society, so the younger brothers of the Nagayama group were more vigilant.
But today, there was actually a group of guys in black high school uniforms, craning their heads and sneaking around not far away.
"It's not really a hostile gang that's coming!" Hamasaki Shogo was so nervous that his palms were sweating. He quickly ran in and found Nagayama Kumahara in the main hall. "Boss Kumahara, someone is really peeping outside!"
Yongshan Xiongyuan frowned, and the flesh on his face tightened, looking particularly ferocious: "Oh, oh, oh, there really is a guy who is not afraid of death! He actually found it directly at the door of our headquarters?!
These outside societies are so rude!
"
At this time, Hayato Nagayama walked up to the back hall wearing a uniform and said slowly: "Hamazaki, how many people are here?"
"I've only seen four or five so far, but they were all looking around the corner of the street, so I don't know the actual number of people! Smith Masai!" Hamazaki Shogo replied respectfully.
Yongshan Xiong said in principle: "The advance team? It looks like they are gathering? Then let's catch him off guard first!"
"Xiong Yuan, go through the back door." Hayato Nagayama, who made himself a cup of tea, signaled, "Bring them over first and ask how many people are coming today."
"Hey, Hamazaki, bring a team of people with me." Nagayama Kumahara stood up. His thick neck, round waist, stocky lower limbs, and strong body are more suitable for actual combat than Nagayama Kaede, "Let the little ones don't
Make noise!"
"I see!"
Hamazaki Shogo immediately walked to the side room next to him. A group of tattooed men who had been called over in advance were eating and drinking inside, waiting for a possible attack.
"Shogo, bring five people with me." Hamasaki Shogo went directly to his younger brother Hanada Shogo and said, "Don't make a sound."
"Hi!"
Yoshihiro Takenaka, who was wearing an ill-fitting uniform, came to Qingshui City with a few friends. After watching "Hot Blood High School", several guys who were still hanging out on campus felt as if they had discovered their own dreams, to dominate the college and achieve success in life!
And this morning's newspaper happened to reveal Serizawa Tama'o's Yakuza background, and also published photos of the Nagayama family's ancestral home. These guys came here to join the organization as soon as they got excited!
At this time, several people were whispering across the street from Yongshan's ancestral home, "This is really the right place, right?"
Naoyuki Honda took out a newspaper from his pocket and looked at the photo: "Yes, this is where the photo was taken. Boss Serizawa, no, Boss Nagayama's home is right here!"
Takenaka Yoshihiro tugged at his black uniform and said to the people around him: "Okay, then we will defect to Boss Yongshan Kaede today!"
He turned around and faced the main door, his eyes filled with passion: "Don't feel guilty, we have to walk through that door upright!"
"Oh? Walk through that door majestically?" a voice suddenly came over.
Takenaka Yoshihiro was so frightened that he turned his head away. At some point, a group of burly men surrounded these high school students.
The strong body blocked the sun, but from inside the collar, you could see the ferocious tattoos. The burliest guy grinned, showing his neat teeth, and smiled very ferociously:
"What a arrogant idea! Do you just rely on a few chickens?"
Takenaka Yoshihiro swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but still frowned: "Who are you? We are from the Serizawa Legion!"
"I see, is the name Serizawa Corps?" Nagayama Kumahara's smile became even more "kind", "As for Serizawa Corps, how many members do you have?"
Honda Naoyuki answered from the side: "There are more than 300 people in the Serizawa Corps!"
"Ah! It's really a lot!" Nagayama Kumahara stretched out his hand and pressed Takenaka Yoshihiro's shoulder, "Then you have to talk to me carefully!"
"What did you say? What are you going to do? Let go of your hands! Stay away from me, you're hurting me!"
"Don't come over here!
"
Ten minutes later, inside the ancestral home of the Nagayama family, Hayato Nagayama drank a cup of tea to suppress his emotions, and calmly looked at the several high school students squatting at the door of the main hall. Each of them had a little bit of trouble on their face.
Bruises.
"So, these guys came over and wanted to join Feng's army because they saw the movie in which Feng starred and read the newspaper reports?"
Nagayama Kumahara also had an expression on his face that didn't know what to say: "Yeah, I thought it was other organizations coming here, but it's actually because of this."
"It's really outrageous." Hayato Nagayama didn't want to look at the people outside the door anymore, "Throw them all out!"
"Hi!"
Hayato Nagayama stood up. He originally wanted to go back to the back room, but suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Xiong Yuan, didn't you tell the local media before? The national newspapers couldn't help it, but the local newspapers actually
Will it be published at our doorstep?!"
"Hi! I will go and have a good chat with them!" Nagayama Kumahara showed his "kind" smile again.
Nagayama Naoki, who was far away in Tokyo, was in the backyard of the sumo hall. His eyes widened when he heard Nagayama Kaede say this:
"Is there such a thing? Can't those guys distinguish between movies and reality?"
"There are always some idiots." Yongshan Feng also laughed, "But dad still scolded me, saying something like causing trouble to the club."
"Hahaha, I won't cut off your finger, right?" Naoki Nagayama laughed.
"He has a great idea. If he does this, I will stay in Tokyo and never go back! This place is much more interesting than Qingshui."
Nagayama Kaede said emphatically, since he came to Tokyo, he no longer misses small cities like Qingshui, especially now that he has become famous, has been invited to do announcements and events, and has made a lot of money.
After initially experiencing the glamorous life in Tokyo, the third generation of the Yamaguchi-gumi Shizuoka group? What is that? Is it interesting to have a nightclub? Are the girls in the club good-looking?
""
Seeing his cousin's appearance of being corrupted by capitalist pleasures, Nagayama Naoki sighed, wondering if bringing him into the entertainment industry was the right thing to do.
"Anyway, Brother Feng, you have to control your body!" Drinking and sex are hurtful, and Yongshan Feng already has some dark circles under his eyes.
"Haha, silly tape, my health is very good!" Yongshan Feng smiled happily.
This kind of thing cannot be persuaded. If you suddenly become proud of your life, if you ask more questions, you may be disgusted by others.
However, this guy Yong Shanfeng is a radical in his own right. If that doesn't work, just let his grandfather and uncle take him back and give him a few beatings and cut off a few fingers.
The popularity of "High School" has swept across Japan. Recently, news about this movie has been everywhere in newspapers and on TV.
The single "Leeld" is also selling very well. Bosozokus and racing gangs on the streets at night like to use this song as the accompaniment when they are racing.
The disco in Takadanobaba, because it is the only nightclub in Tokyo that can use all the materials of "Hot Blooded High School", has also attracted the attention of more young people. It is said that the disco is now open until the morning every day, 24 hours a day.
.
But at the same time, criticism of the film also came.
When Nagayama Naoki arrived at the studio, Yoshimura Otomo and Yoto Shuichi were discussing the next step in the office.
"Naoki-san" Yoshimura Otomo saw Naoki Nagayama coming and continued, "The focus of media reports is that the movie "Hot Blood High School" glorifies violence and does not reflect the cruelty of violence, which will be harmful to viewers whose worldview has not yet been formed.
have an impact.”
"Is this really still the case?" Nagayama Naoki sat down, not worried, "Didn't we discuss it before?"
Indo Shuichi interjected: "Actually, there are Naoki-san's scandals and the Yakuza background of the leading actor, etc., but those actually don't make any waves."
"Ahem!" After hearing the scandal, Naoki Nagayama could only cough strategically, "Anyway, the approach I mentioned before about bringing bloody and violent movies from the past onto the chariot, did it work?"
Yoshimura Otomo frowned: "Naoki-san actually used a similar method in our previous "Gas Station Robbery Incident" and also used it later when dealing with Toei. It seems that colleagues are already familiar with it.
The effect before was better.”
"Ha, you really can't underestimate the guys in the entertainment industry. They are all talented people."
Nagayama Naoki didn't have any surprises. The moves will get old after being used once. He was already lucky the second time.
Yin Tang Shuichi asked: "Then what should we do next?"
"How to do it?" Nagayama Naoki laughed, "Arrange people to fight with them in the ring, let this fire continue to burn!"
"???" The other two people were very surprised.
"Hot spots are created by speculation! Our movie originally targets young people, but as the popularity continues to rise, middle-aged people and even the elderly will also notice it!" Naoki Nagayama said, "Anyway, they
It’s impossible to limit our distribution. The more popular the topic, the better our box office will be!”
"But, in this case, the reputation of our film," Shuichi Yin Tang is a little concerned, "during the selection..."
"Shuichi-san, this is a commercial movie, and box office is our ultimate goal." Naoki Nagayama had never thought about winning awards or anything with this movie, "Academy Awards, blue ribbons are great.
If not, don’t worry too much.”
"this"
Seeing that Shuichi Indou still looked a little unwilling, Nagayama Naoki comforted him: "Besides, this movie may not be rated poorly.
When this kind of topic comes to an end, let's guide the topic and return it to social issues, how to deal with bad phenomena, violent associations, etc. Nothing can be achieved by arguing in newspapers."
Everyone is just talking about it.
Nagayama Naoki continued: "When the time comes, the worst we can do is make some statement, saying that we shot this movie just to draw society's attention to unhealthy phenomena and thereby improve this social problem."
Yoshimura Otomo and Yin Tangxiu glanced at Nagayama Naoki: "Naoki-san, you really know how to clean up your innocence!"
"Hahaha, anyway, just deal with these step by step."
Always targeted by traditional film studios, Naoki Nagayama is not very excited now. He lets others be strong, and the breeze blows over the hills.
Anyway, I don’t really want to get too involved in the complicated vanity fair of the film industry. I just need to make movies and make money.
After talking about "Hot-Blooded High School", Naoki Nagayama continued to ask other questions: "By the way, Otomo-san, has there been any reply from Fuji TV about the program "Twilight Meow Meow"?
"Actually, I asked about Fuji TV before and Otaisan is currently fighting with the leaders of the station." Yoshimura Otomo said.
Why does this statement seem so official and perfunctory? Are you trying to win over the leadership?
"I remember that when we last met, Otaisan was very interested in this program?" Nagayama Naoki was a little confused, "Did something happen?"
Fangcun Otomo also nodded slightly: "Maybe something happened."
In fact, at this time of Fuji TV, Sugiura Oyasu and Nishi Rumi were competing with Director Takano Ikki for the third time.
"Boss Ikki, this show definitely has the potential to become a hit. Moreover, it is jointly planned by Yasushi Akimoto and Naoki Nagayama, and with the support of brng agency, it already has a lot of resources."
Naturally, Takano Kazuki knew it, but he had no choice at this time: "But the station manager thinks that if we can actually produce this kind of program ourselves, we don't need to find anyone from the outside."
In fact, most TV programs in this era are produced by the production bureaus of the TV stations themselves, and some are outsourced to production companies, but the leaders are usually related personnel of the TV station.
But this time, not only the planning, but also the production was done by outsiders, which made the TV station leaders a little worried.
"But this is indeed a good program!" Otasu Sugiura said sincerely, "It will definitely bring the TV station's ratings to a higher level!"
Takano Ikki sighed: "But if the control is not in our hands"
However, he relaxed: "However, if the chief producer of this program is from our TV station, the idol operating company can also have control."
Nishi Rumi said quickly: "Aren't you trying to steal this show!
"
"How can we talk about robbing when it comes to the entertainment industry?" Takano Kazuki's face remained unchanged, "It's just cooperation. If the conditions are not good and we can't agree, we don't have to cooperate."
Sugiura Oyasu remained silent, while the young Nishi Rumi intuitively experienced the gray area in the entertainment world for the first time.
The silent atmosphere lasted for a while, and Sugiura Otai took a deep breath:
"I understand. If that's the case, I will continue to communicate with Naoki-san."
"Well, this is best."
"But Minister, in fact, for this program, if Naoki-san hadn't cooperated with us once and believed in us, then he wouldn't necessarily have chosen Fuji TV. Other TV stations would also have chosen it."
Sugiura Oyasu reminded his minister, "If Naoki-san chooses another TV station in the end"
"Other TV stations are not good people either!" Ikki Takano understands the personalities of his competitors very well, "They will also demand control."
Naturally, Otasu Sugiura knows this, but what he is saying now is just to get the best interests for Nagayama Naoki. After all, he only found Fuji TV for his own sake:
"But TV stations with worrying ratings will offer better terms, whether in terms of shares or purchase fees."
"Well"
This is indeed a problem. Any discerning TV station can see the potential of this program.
If Naoki Nagayama chooses another TV station, not only will Fuji TV lose a program, but other TV stations may get a chance to overtake him!
Takano Ikki pondered for a while: "Anyway, Otai-kun, please go and communicate first. On the basis of ensuring control of the TV station, the purchase fee can be relaxed a little. If not, I will discuss it with the superiors at that time, and finally I will
Talk to Nagayama Naoki again!"
"Then it will be a problem for you, Minister!"
Otasu Sugiura nodded in agreement, and then pulled Nishi Rumi out of the office.
