"Ni-chan? Do you want to spend Christmas Eve together tomorrow?"
Although it was a little late, Tsuruko still called and asked again.
"Huh? Didn't Tsuruko spend time with her boyfriend?" Nagayama Naoki asked, "Have you not won over Kaneda-senpai yet? We all went to watch "The Ring" together!"
"How afraid are you that your sister won't get married? You are more concerned about her than your mother!"
Tsuruko complained, recalling that after watching "The Ring" that day, everyone spent the whole night worrying that a Sadako would pop up somewhere, and was even frightened by Bagani-chan once. There was no time to think of a confession.
Category!
As for what happened later, there was a delay between Tsuruko and Kaneda-senpai for some unknown reason.
Nagayama Naoki sighed: "Well, when I was in high school, I really didn't want Tsuruko to fall in love. But you really didn't have any love in high school, which made people worried. After I went to college, I found that Tsuruko, your character can be loved by others.
It’s a pretty good collection.”
"Baga! Who said that Master Tsuruko is very popular in the university?"
"Okay, I'll believe it," Naoki Nagayama said, "But haven't you still not spent Christmas with your lover?"
Deeply influenced by American culture, Japan is very receptive to Western festivals such as Christmas. However, due to the assimilation of local culture, it has also developed unique Japanese holiday habits, such as eating Christmas cakes, eating fried chicken nuggets, etc.
.
One of the points is that Christmas Eve before Christmas is often taken more seriously than Christmas itself, and compared to spending it with the whole family, young people are more accustomed to spending it with their lovers, and the exchange of gifts is only between lovers.
Therefore, when winter comes, young men and women will be very anxious to find the person they like. It is rare for someone like Tsuruko to have a crush who has not yet confessed it~
"." Tsuruko was silent for a moment and retorted, "Didn't Ni-chan also have no lover?"
Who says I don’t have a lot of Christmas activities, especially TV shows and the like?
It was not convenient for Naoki Nagayama to say it directly, so he could only acquiesce:
"Forget it, since Tsuruko is alone, let's spend it together!"
"I'll call and ask Brother Feng later. If he is alone, we, the Yongshan family, can spend time together~"
Tsuruko happily agreed on the phone.
When I called Yong Shanfeng, there was actually a burst of noise there. Among the noise, I could distinguish the voice of Yong Shanfeng.
"Ah, for Christmas, my brothers and I made an appointment to go to a nightclub, call some ladies, and have fun all night long!" Yongshan Feng's voice was full of joy, "Naoki, do you want to come with us?"
"No, no need, Brother Feng, have fun~"
After hanging up the phone, Nagayama Naoki sighed, as expected, Brother Kaede is the one suitable for the life of Tokyo!
Call the young lady and have fun all night long! Naoki Nagayama has never tried it!
What should I do if I still feel a little excited after talking about it?
However, after a difficult ideological struggle, this idea was still given up by Nagayama Naoki. After all, if it was accidentally photographed or spread, the nickname of "Flower Heart Naoki" might soon be changed.
He has become a "straw tree".
If this happens, the whole of Japan may not be able to stay any longer!
Since entering the vanity fair of the entertainment industry, relying on his excellent debut film and vague background of the Yamaguchi-gumi, Nagayama Kaede has lived a very comfortable life, dyeing himself into colorful looks as quickly as possible, and then began to pollute in turn
his office
Now his artist agency has a reputation in the industry as one that knows how to play.
However, this can be regarded as a success in the entertainment industry~
"I hope Brother Kaede won't organize a Haitian feast or attend a silver party or something like that." Nagayama Naoki also made a decision at the same time, "I will also talk to my grandfather about Brother Kaede's discipline issues when I return to my hometown this year!"
When the sun rises again, there will be only one week left in Showa 8.
At Taro Taro's urging, Nagayama Naoki opened his eyes and saw the bright sunshine outside the window.
The weather is also very good today!
After making breakfast, taking Yotaro for a walk, and returning to Yamasakura-in, Naoki Nagayama drove to the studio as usual.
"Naoki-san, good morning!"
Xing Jiahua said hello happily and directed a Christmas tree to be placed next to the front desk.
Looking at the empty Christmas tree above, Naoki Nagayama felt a little strange: "Hana-chan, why are there no gifts?"
"I will hang it up today." Xing Jiahua said with a smile, "When everyone comes to the company tomorrow, you can get small gifts!"
"Oh? Then I must come over tomorrow."
After greeting the employees in the office, Naoki Nagayama walked into the office, but even Fangcun Dayou was a little surprised:
"Naoki-san, why are you here?"
"Well, why don't I come over?" Nagayama Naoki was speechless. Is it a bad thing to come over to work by myself? I don't know who has always said that I never come over to work!
"Isn't today Christmas Eve? Tomorrow is Christmas." Otomo Yoshimura pressed his glasses, "Just in time the business has come to an end. I thought Naoki-san would rest until next Monday!"
"."
Nagayama Naoki thought about it for a while, and it seemed that it was indeed the case. "Love Letter" has been edited and the year-end awards have been distributed. It seems that he has become a dispensable role in Shuyu Pictures. It's strange!
Yoshimura Otomo will never let go of the labor that comes to his door.
"Now that Naoki-san is here, let's discuss the adjustment of the company's structure next year!" As he said that, Yoshimura Otomo handed over a tree diagram.
"I sorted out several major businesses currently under my name, and then briefly sorted out the structure. The board of directors is very simple. Currently there are only Naoki-san, Shuichi-san, myself and Kadokawa. Of course, the chairman of Shuyu Group
It’s Naoki-san, who also serves as the president.”
Yoshimura Otomo-chan described the general structure. Because the group is not large, the various business lines are also very clear. It also listed several current leaders who have been promoted or promoted.
Nagayama Naoki looked at this document and found that there was actually not much of a problem. In fact, Japan's current corporate structure is almost mature, and the most important thing is equity.
"Otomo-san, if adjustments are to be made, Kadokawa may need to discuss it again." Nagayama Naoki said, "In the past two years, Kadokawa has made a lot of money with its small investment. But then.
If it goes on, after the business merger, % of the shares will be too much."
"Are they going to dilute their shares?" Yoshimura Otomo asked.
"Yes, we have idol business, record business, asset operation and other profitable businesses here. We can't let Kadokawa continue to hold a quarter of the shares." Naoki Nagayama said.
"What if Kadokawa chooses to increase his holdings?" Yoshimura Otomo asked.
"Ha, then it depends on how much money they can offer. Even if the money is not enough," Naoki Nagayama said, "It is best to exchange for shares of Kadokawa Pictures. The cross-shareholding method can ensure the long-term and stable cooperation between our two companies."
"Anyway, this is just an idea. We can still talk about it later, so don't worry for now." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Otomo-san, after the new year, we can have a good chat with Haruki-san."
"Yes, Kadokawa will definitely arrange for inspectors to come over next year."
The two chatted all morning about the structural adjustment next year, but Shuichi Itou, one of the three giants, was not in the studio.
He was meeting with his teacher, Machida Yaichi, in the university faculty's office and chatting about next year's film selection.
The energetic old man said: "Yitang Jun, which movie do you plan to use to compete for awards?"
"Of course it's 'High School'!" Itou Shuichi said, "Although 'The Ring' is also a work of confidence, horror films are niche films after all, with a small audience and insufficient influence."
Machida Yaichi nodded, picked up the hot tea from the coffee table in the office and handed it over: "I've also heard about "Midnight Ring", but I didn't go to see it myself. Hahaha, after hearing about director Fukasaku, I really
Don’t dare to go”
"Teacher, I'm joking, but that movie is indeed very impactful. Given your age, it's okay not to watch it." Itou Shuichi took the tea cup and responded with a smile.
"Haha, that's right." The old man continued, "But for "Hot Blooded High School", because of the alternative interpretation of bad campus culture in the early stage, it may suffer during the selection."
"Well, we have actually considered this aspect, so we don't have much ambition for the best picture." Itou Shuichi explained, "After all, there is still "Antarctic Story" ahead."
"That?"
"Actually, we mainly want to work towards the two awards of Best Director and Best Actor." Itou Shuichi didn't know much about the selection process the year before. This year, he has communicated a lot with the industry and already knows the twists and turns behind it.
Go around.
"Ah, that's it." Machida Yaichi looked at Shuichi Itou, who can be said to be his most proud student at the moment, and said, "In that case, it just so happens that I have a few good friends who are film critics, and I will have a good chat with them.
Let’s talk about the shooting techniques of “Hot Blood High School”!”
Itou Shuichi stood up quickly and bowed deeply: "Thank you so much, teacher!"
Machida Yaichi smiled and shook his hand: "This is why Itou-kun's film is indeed a breakthrough in directorial skills! And several shots are indeed amazing."
"Everywhere, teachers teach well."
For a time, the office was full of compliments.
In the evening, Naoki Nagayama drove to Waseda University to pick up Tsuruko.
In the parking lot in front of the school, a black Toyota Century attracted a lot of attention, and young people in twos and threes would cast inquiring glances.
Tsuruko, who was wearing cotton-padded clothes, found the Toyota Century and hurriedly got into the car:
"Ni-chan. If someone I know saw it, they would think I got into some expensive car!"
"Haha, your brother is considered a rich man now." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Don't you have any other classmates today? Where is Junsui-chan?"
"She's with her boyfriend."
"Hahaha, so you are single!"
"Ni-chan, if you can't speak, don't speak."
On Christmas Eve, the streets and alleys of Tokyo are full of Christmas elements. Christmas music is played in many places. Representative places such as Omotesando, Shibuya and Marunouchi organize beautiful light shows.
The street trees on both sides of the street are covered with colorful lights. Countless light strips render the entire street the color of champagne, like a dream world. Even on a cold winter night, it makes people feel...
Very warm.
Naoki Nagayama took Tsuruko to a Western restaurant in Shinjuku, and ordered a special Christmas set menu.
"Can the two of us finish such a big turkey?" Tsuruko was very surprised when he looked at the huge turkey.
"If you can't finish it, pack it up and bring it to Yutaro to eat!" Nagayama Naoki didn't care at all and ate leisurely to the sound of the piano in the store.
“What a luxury.”
"Tsuruko, when do you have a holiday?" Naoki Nagayama asked.
"Next Wednesday" Tsuruko's mouth was filled with chicken.
"Are you going to go back directly?"
"Of course not. Ni-chan and I will be together." Tsuruko's expression remained unchanged, "It seems that it will be difficult to stay at home if we go back."
"Yes, after having children, the house will be very noisy."
"It should be lively!"
"."
The brother and sister were eating a Christmas set meal in a busy commercial street. There were couples passing by outside the window. In this strange atmosphere, the conversations seemed warm and ordinary.
Near midnight, Nagayama Naoki dialed Akina's pager.
However, Akina’s call was not returned until early in the morning.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Naoki-san?" Akina's somewhat apologetic voice came from the microphone, "Private Marseille, I just got home~"
Top idols are very busy during festivals!
Although most of the Christmas special programs are recorded in advance, there are still some programs that need to be broadcast live, and there are some celebrations that need to be attended on-site. It’s good to get home in the early morning!
"Ah, silly tape! I have just waited for this moment," Naoki Nagayama said with a smile in his voice, "Merry Christmas, Akina!"
Nakamori Akina felt a warm current flow through her heart: "Merry Christmas Naoki-sanya!"
"It's really hard work! It's Christmas and we still have to work," Naoki Nagayama sighed, "Akina, go look at the socks by the bed! Santa Claus has already put the gifts!"
"Eh?"
Nakamori Akina was very surprised and ran to the bedside in the bedroom, looked at the sock that had not changed at all, then pinched it, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Inside the sock is a small gift box, which contains an exquisite women's platinum bracelet that shines charmingly on the snow-white wrist.
"Naoki-san, thank you for your gift! I like it so much!" Akina Nakamori returned to the phone and said happily, "Naoki-san, I also prepared a gift for you!"
"Oh? Where? What is it? Has Santa Claus delivered it?"
"Haha, I won't tell you," Akina Nakamori said mischievously, "you'll find out when you wait until tomorrow morning!"
"Huh? It's actually quite appetizing."
After chatting affectionately for half an hour, Nagayama Naoki had to put down the phone, because tomorrow Akina's announcement will still be very busy, and if he doesn't sleep, he won't be able to get up tomorrow.
It's actually exceeded the time. Oh, another wasted leave request!
