After dealing with a group of reporters, Naoki Nagayama returned to the office again.
Looking at the sunshine outside, he sighed:
"Even if you are so rich, you still have to work... It is really difficult for the rich generation... But it will be your son or daughter who will enjoy the happiness in the future... How annoying!
"
After relaxing for a while, Nagayama Naoki picked up the "Nihon Keizai Shimbun" on the table and flipped through it to see if there was any latest news from Finance Minister Neon. Then he picked up the American "Wall Street Journal" and read it carefully.
, understand the latest international economic information.
The "Plaza Accord" will be signed soon, and American economists are advocating to make the dollar less strong and reduce the U.S. deficit...
"There are still a few days..." Nagayama Naoki crossed his hands on the work table, chin hidden behind his hands, and made Commander Ikari's exclusive meditative posture, "Won Taisang has gone to the United States, always paying attention to investment
There shouldn’t be any problems with the manager’s operation..."
But after all, with a fortune of 200 million US dollars, Naoki Nagayama still cares about it.
"During this period, just make a phone call every day when the market opens..."
Looking at the economic news on the desktop, it seems that the correction of history is real. Major historical nodes have not shifted much. The butterfly effect does not seem so scary. Naoki Nagayama is very satisfied with the scale of his future wealth.
.
"Dong dong dong..."
While Nagayama Naoki was daydreaming, there was a knock on the office door, but he didn't open the door and walked in. It didn't look like Shuichi-san or Otomo-san.
"Please come in~"
The person who walked in was Komori Masataka. Isn't this guy promoting "Umi Street Diary"?
"Naoki-san!" Komori Masataka had a pitiful expression on his face, "I'm back..."
"...Um," Nagayama Naoki said strangely, "Why do you look so pitiful? Aren't you promoting "Haijie Diary"? You should be in Shikoku now..."
"Ah, nothing will happen without me over there!" Masataka Komori shook his head, sat on the sofa and sighed, "Most of the road show promotion has been completed. In the next city, only Yuki-chan and Chikoko-chan will be there."
That’s it… Anyway, I’m just a little famous director~”
"..."
Hmm, it sounds a bit like resenting women!
Nagayama Naoki looked at this guy in amusement. You know, if you show mercy to your boss, you will either ask for help or make things worse... Now, just wait to see how he performs!
"..."
Komori Masataka didn't hear Nagayama Naoki's response. He raised his head and looked at Nagayama Naoki, only to find that their eyes collided... This was very embarrassing...
"Ahem, Naoki-san..." Komori Masataka's face has not yet been developed, and he was still a little stiff when changing the topic, "I heard when I came back that Kijima-kun's "101 Proposals" will be released.
Have you started filming?"
"Yeah~ I just finished the production reveal meeting." Nagayama Naoki replied briefly and concisely.
"Um...I also heard...Shuichi-san is also working on a new movie project?" Masataka Komori continued.
"Yes... the script of "The Man with Zero Existence" seems to have been perfected!"
"...I also heard..." Masataka Komori mustered up his courage, "Naoki-san is also going to make a family gangster movie?"
"Well..." Naoki Nagayama didn't hide it, ""Hayato: New World" is indeed based on my grandfather's experience... It may have started a little earlier than Shuichi-san's movie.
Shooting…”
After telling Masataka Komori everything, Naoki Nagayama issued a soul torture:
"So...what's wrong? Masataka-kun?!"
"Naoki-san!!!" Komori Masataka wailed miserably, "Three films at the end of the year... I don't have a part in it?! I am your number one disciple (loyal dog)!!"
"...."
Naoki Nagayama rubbed his temples helplessly,
"First of all, I have never had an apprentice... Second, didn't you just finish filming "Haijie Diary"?! The box office in the first month is expected to have exceeded 300 million, what else do you want?!
"
“There are still three months until the end of the year! Everyone has something to shoot, but I don’t!!!”
Komori Masataka forcibly assigned the title to Naoki Nagayama, slapping the table and pretending to be heartbroken.
"Master!! I want to make a movie!!!"
"..." I'm not Coach Anxi!
Nagayama Naoki looked at Komori Masataka's disrespectful performance and sighed...Who in the world ruined the corporate culture of Shuyou Group?!
Why are everyone so thick-skinned?!
"stop fighting!"
Nagayama Naoki also patted the table, and Komori Masataka immediately took it back and sat down obediently, waiting to listen to the teachings~
Looking at the current situation, if Nagayama Naoki doesn't have a good explanation, this guy seems to be stuck in the office!
"Masaka-kun~"
"Hi!"
"It's not that we won't allocate projects to you..." Nagayama Naoki comforted, "It's true that we don't have any on hand!"
"..."
Komori Masataka didn't say anything, he just looked over with a resentful look... Isn't it just a matter of Naoki-san's words?
Apart from anything else, Naoshu-san's little treasury has become an open secret among tree friends!
"Also, we have to hold the Tokyo International Film Festival in October, which is a very heavy task!"
"We, Shuyou Pictures, only have three crews. Kijima-kun, me, and Shuichi-san have already made reservations. There is no one left~"
"Three films in such a short period of time by the end of the year are enough for tree friends~"
"Masaka-kun, you have worked hard for half a year filming "Haijie Diary". It's time to take a good rest... By the way, you and your wife have only been married for a year, so you should spend time with her~"
"...."
Seeing Komori Masataka's unmoved expression, Nagayama Naoki became a little angry. He originally wanted to scold him, but he had a happy expression on his face, which made him unable to curse...
If you want to drive him out, this guy actually once again performed the show of complaining and pouring out your inner depression... He almost cried, made a fuss, and hanged himself...
In short, I can't get rid of it no matter what...
Let me say it again, who is the one who ruined Shuyou’s corporate culture!!!
"..." Nagayama Naoki tapped his fingers on the desk, finally unable to bear it anymore, "Okay, okay...you want to make a movie, don't you?!"
"I'll let you take the photo!"
"I have a movie called "Battle Royale" here that I can let you try!" Nagayama Naoki said with a cruel smile, "But this is a movie that is somewhat inconsistent with the trends of modern society. If you are willing, just go and make it!"
"But if the pictures don't sell well..." Naoki Nagayama said, "Masataka-kun, just treat me like a bull and a horse in the next few decades and make good compensation!"
"Hi!!"
Komori Masataka agreed without hesitation, without any fear at all!
It’s a joke, under the lifetime employment system, he, Komori Masataka, was originally going to work for Naoki Nagayama at Shuyu for the next few decades!!! Not to mention that Shuyu’s treatment is very good~
Besides, the script written by Nagayama Naoki, even if the sales are not good, still has a box office of hundreds of millions!
In other production companies, this is already considered the best movie of the year!
And "Battle Royale", as you can tell from the name, is a battle royale type of movie, just like "Squidward Game", but a new type of movie!!!
As a new director, I should be able to laugh out loud if I can try this new type of movie!
In short...Masataka Komori stood up with a satisfied face and walked out of the office:
"Then Naoki-san, I'm going to report to Shuichi-san... I believe there will be a solution for the subsequent crew assignments and subsequent film shooting preparations!"
It's not a big deal to hire more people. What a big deal~
"It is expected..." Komori Masataka estimated the time, "Let's start shooting in November...just in time for a good start at the beginning of next year!"
".......Get Out!"
"Hi!"
........
As the temperature drops, more and more people are getting ready to travel.
The Cherry Blossom Festival in the spring, the Fireworks Parade in the summer, and the red leaf hunting in the autumn are naturally very good travel routes, but at other times, it is also a very good choice to avoid popular tourist routes and peak crowds.
Many migrant workers have chosen to take annual leave during this period, planning to take advantage of the lukewarm weather to visit some scenic spots.
At this time, "Late Night Canteen" was spreading more and more widely among the migrant workers~
"It should be here, right?"
As an ordinary social worker, Sakaguchi Keizo took annual leave despite his busy schedule and finally came to the small town of Shizuoka~
I originally came to see Mount Fuji, but suddenly I got hungry and thought that "Midnight Diner" was nearby, so I had the idea of taking a look.
The izakaya opened by the eldest brother Aoki and his father Nagayama Ken had originally restored its original hours, but there were too many people who couldn't help but come to check in... and they all came to check in in the middle of the night...
So I had to start working shifts...my father worked the day shift, and my eldest brother Aoki worked the night shift...
I thought about returning to my original schedule after the craze of this TV series has passed... Fortunately, the izakaya is not big, so it is not a problem for one person. When I am busy at dinner, I can just ask my mother Nanako to help me a little.
In this month or so, when the broadcast of "Late Night Diner" ends, there will definitely be fewer people coming to check in.
When night comes, the lanterns in the "Midnight Dining Hall" are lit up, marking that the place has begun to open from late night to early morning.
"Boss~" Sakaguchi Keizo, with a business smile on his face, opened the door and walked in. His eyes lit up when he saw his eldest brother Nagayama Aoki, "It's really you, boss!"
"...Well, it's me~"
At the beginning, Nagayama Aoki wanted to explain, but these guys who came to check in didn't stop at all, they just regarded him as a character in "Midnight Diner".
Gradually, he stopped explaining... By maintaining a cold demeanor, a lot of things were saved.
"Can we cook the menu on "Midnight Diner"?!"
"Hey, as long as I know how to do it, I can do it..." Big Brother Aoki said without hesitation, "Today I recommend chazuke rice..."
"Chazuke rice? It's the dish from the third episode!" Sakaguchi Keizo's face was full of joy, "You are so lucky, let's have one!"
"Please wait a moment..."
Nagayama Aoki silently began to prepare the food, and there was a bit of silence in the izakaya for a while... The guests seemed not used to such an atmosphere, and began to chat with Aoki casually:
"Boss...is there really a strip club around here?"
"..."
The corner of Nagayama Aoki's mouth twitched. Most of the guests who come to the izakaya will ask this question.
"No... this is just a small city... Some of the clips in "Midnight Diner" were grafted, and the shooting location was actually in other places, such as Kabukicho in Tokyo..."
"That's it~"
Sakaguchi Keizo nodded, he also knew the shooting techniques,
"So there are no Yakuza gangsters nearby? Like Xiaolong?"
"Yakuza elements can be found everywhere..." Nagayama Aoki did not hide it. In this era, the Yamaguchi-gumi was very powerful, and other Yakuza societies were also rampant, and they could not be banned in big cities.
However, the police departments in big cities are quite powerful, at least on the surface, there aren't that many gangster incidents.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Sakaguchi Keizo seemed to be having a conversation, looked at Nagayama Aoki and said:
"Actually, a group of us were discussing while watching "Midnight Diner" that the owner of this izakaya must have a Yakuza background. He has scars on his face and is very proficient in holding a knife..."
"Ah, boss, where's your scar?" Sakaguchi Keizo looked at Nagayama Aoki and said in surprise.
"That's a prop..."
"So, boss, you have nothing to do with the Yakuza?"
"..."
Actually, I can't say it doesn't matter... After all, my biological grandfather is the leader of the Yakuza Club. Do I have to tell you?
Sakaguchi Keizan's face stiffened for a moment, then he scratched his head and laughed:
"I knew that reality is different from TV! I even ran over excitedly to look for "Late Night Diner"...
Isn’t it a bit ridiculous?!”
At this time, Sakaguchi Keizo was still looking at Nagayama Aoki with a smile, just like he put on a smile every day to face annoying customers, stupid bosses, verbose girlfriends, and a cold life...
"At least the food is the same! How about keeping it simple? Like this bowl of Ochazuke..."
Nagayama Aoki served Chazuke rice while comforting him. The white rice was soaked in brown tea and covered with black seaweed, green parsley, and red umeboshi. It looked refreshing and delicious...
"Chazuke rice, please use it slowly..."
"Ah, Arigado~"
Sakaguchi Keizo was somewhat flattered and accepted the Ochazuke rice. At this moment, it seemed as if the boss of "Midnight Diner" really appeared in reality.
He carefully picked up the rice with chopsticks, and put some ingredients into his mouth... The warm rice was soaked with the bitterness of the tea, but after chewing it, there was a little sweetness of the rice and the sweetness of the tea leaves.
.....
The freshness of seaweed, the pungency of celery, and the salty and sweetness of plums blend together and spread out in the mouth in a chaotic way, just like different tastes of life...
While eating big mouthfuls, Sakaguchi Keizo seemed to suddenly choke and started coughing... Nagayama Aoki quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to him~
"Hahaha, I can choke on tea and rice~" Sakaguchi Keizo's expression was a little distorted at this time, and he couldn't tell whether he was laughing or crying, "Hahaha~ What a useless guy..."
"Hahaha~"
"Haha...wu..."
"Woooooooo..."
Suddenly I burst into tears...
Nagayama Aoki's body is a little tight, but his mentality is still relatively calm...
This is not the first time that a customer has vented his emotions in the store... It's just that this customer went a little too far...
Neon is a very repressive society. Although the economy is developing rapidly, the workers who are one of the parts have always maintained high pressure.
You must respect your superiors, be courteous to your customers, and be responsible for your family...
As a man, you should work hard, you should work to support your family, you should maintain the toughness of a Showa man, and bleed without shedding tears...
In this era, psychiatrists are not so common. The pressure accumulated in the hearts of social animals can only be released by going to custom shops, nightclubs, etc.....
If you don't have much money, you can either drink or keep it in your heart...
Maybe the last straw will hit you at some moment, go to sleep on the railway, go hang in the forest...
Even more powerful, he took out the homemade famous gun Abe Kiri from his bag, and forcibly exchanged it with the Prime Minister...
Those who can watch midnight movies are mostly social workers who work a lot of overtime...
They saw a warm place like "Midnight Diner" and saw that everyone could chat with the boss about the hardships in life in this small izakaya... Naturally, they were full of yearning for this place...
And many of the guys who can follow the TV signal to find them are actually already full of stress~
So I felt that the scene was similar to that on TV, and I couldn't help but take on the role, treating myself as an ordinary diner in "Late Night Diner"...
Some people chatted with Nagayama Aoki about trivial matters, some guests cursed, and some guests drank...
However, this person looks ordinary, but he can cry just after eating tea and rice... It is indeed rare!
"Okay, okay, there's nothing that can't be overcome..."
Nagayama Aoki gently comforted the diners without doing anything unnecessary. He knew that these diners would return to normal after venting their emotions... and then give a generous tip... It felt like
The "Midnight Diner" that opens at midnight seems to have turned into a psychological clinic!
This guy Naoki-san...why is it so weird to film a TV series?!
Yongshan Aoki watched helplessly as another guest came...
This guy's eyes were already filled with tears as soon as he came in~
