Tokyo Bubble Life

  Chapter 528 Chapter 526, this time let Naoki Naoyama know what it means to lose face!

  In the early morning bedroom,

   Naoki Nagayama opened his eyes,

  The bed next to it was empty.

   Of course!

  Yesterday at noon, Mingcai came over for lunch, and then Naoki Naoyama sent him to the rehearsal of the Red and White Song Concert in the afternoon.

  Just kissing and hugging for a while, just a little time at noon, what can I do~

  Today is the day to attend the preview of "Midnight Ring", even though it's at night, you have to go to the company in advance to prepare.

  The showers have just stopped, and Tokyo has been thoroughly washed.

The sunny day in winter is bright and blue, with a few white clouds dotted in the empty sky, which is perfect like a scene in a comic book world; on the roads of the city and the branches and leaves of trees, there is still some rainwater, which is frozen into crystal clear ice , sparkling in the morning sun.

  Through the glass of the car window, Naoki Naoyama rushed towards the studio while admiring the city after the rain.

  The atmosphere in the studio today is busy. The film that occupies the bulk of the company's business is about to be screened, and the boss of the company is going to participate. The related drafts and follow-up publicity also need to keep up, plus various other guarantees

  Although only some people were busy, the whole studio was full of this atmosphere.

   "Naoki-san, you are here!" Newcomer Ochiai Jizhi quickly integrated into the team of Shuyou Yinghua, and greeted Naoki Naoyama with everyone.

   "Jizhi-chan, why didn't you see Riko-chan?" Yongshan Naoki looked around.

   "She went to the scene to prepare," Ochiai Toshie replied, "I went to arrange the background board for the media meeting and the safeguard measures for the preview meeting in advance."

"Safety precautions?"

   "Hey, it's ambulances and medical equipment." Ochiai Toshie smiled, "Although it's unlikely that there will be any problems, we still have to make sure everything is safe!"

   "Haha, Riko-chan is really reliable." As a boss, he is already familiar with the technique of boasting.

   "Naoki-san, then I will go to work first, there are still a few media that need to be contacted again."

   "Hmm~"

  Why do many bosses like to stay in the company?

  Because only in the company, there will be many subordinates who can listen to his orders, complete the tasks he assigns, and then make him feel like a very important person.

   Naoki Naoyama felt similarly.

   After walking into the office, Yoshimura Otomo and Itou Shuichi were already there.

   "Otomo-san, will you go to today's screening?" Naoki Naoyama asked while sitting on a chair.

   "Forget it, I don't want to revisit that horror scene again!"

  Otomo Fangcun showed a trace of fear on his face, so he would not tell Naoki Yongshan that since he watched the movie in advance, he was trembling all night long.

   "Okay~" Naoki Naoyama didn't persuade much, "Then the subsequent promotion and release are ready?"

   "Hi!" Speaking of business, Otomo Fangcun's face turned serious, "After the preview screening ends tonight, there will be reports. Tomorrow and the next two days will be the peak period of publicity. Wait until the weekend night for the official release!"

   "Relevant posters, display racks, leaflets and other promotional materials have long been in the movie theaters, and each movie theater has also prepared a pair of first aid equipment."

   Naoki Naoyama nodded again and again: "How is the cooperation of Kadokawa's publishing company this time?"

  Otomo Fangcun paused for a moment: "Of course Kadokawa Yinghua is very cooperative."

  Although it has shares in Kadokawa, it is after all a competitor of Kadokawa Pictures, and it is a company with far better performance than Kadokawa Pictures itself

  Although the upper management is still supportive and encouraging, during the last release of "Hot Blood High School", Naoki Naoyama has found some delays or resistance.

   It's just a pity that every movie Shuyou Yinghua has is ridiculously attractive, and it doesn't cause any losses.

"Well, there's no way around it." Shuichi Ido said, "After all, we only have a channel with Kadokawa Distribution Company, and we still have to go through their film company, and the cost is kept to a minimum. And some other publicity work , including premieres, press conferences, etc., are actually planned and executed by ourselves.”

  Naoki Naoyama was not too troubled, and naturally there is a solution to this kind of thing: "Sure enough, as a film production company, we still need to have our own distribution channels."

  Itang Xiu sat up straight: "Do you want to establish your own publishing company?"

   "A small start-up company doesn't have the strength and reputation." Naoki Nagayama glanced at Shuichi Ido: "But Shuichi-san, in fact, our size is enough to build our own distribution department."

   "Build the department first?"

"Hi." Naoki Naoyama took a deep breath, "Actually, I feel that besides movies, the business of Shuyou Films currently includes idols, records, copyright management and some asset management. Of course, this is mainly me. Hahaha, I bought a lot of houses."

  Both Yoshimura Otomo and Ido Shuichi laughed, but the rent of Naoki Naoyama’s property and the income of that disco are actually no less than those of some small companies.

   "And next year I plan to open an investment-related company." Naoki Naoyama continued, "In short, the current organizational structure of Shuyou Pictures can no longer keep up with our development."

  The other two people in the office were a little surprised: "What does Naoki-san mean, are we going to carry out company reform?"

"almost"

   "Next year, I plan to separate out different businesses, form an independent subsidiary company, and upgrade Shuyou Pictures to become Shuyou Group!"

  Naoki Yongshan has never presided over the management of a group company before. He was only a technical director at the highest level in his previous life. However, have you never seen a pig run or eaten pork?

"this"

  Fangcun Otomo and Yitang Xiuyi couldn't believe it. It's only been about three years, and they are already going to manage the group?

  “Although it sounds like we are at the same level as big groups like Mitsubishi Group and Mitsui Group, in fact, we are still a small and medium-sized enterprise, but it is just to make the business and work that each is responsible for clearer.”

   Naoki Naoyama explained a little bit, and then said the famous quote that often appears in TED speeches,

   "In short, take it step by step and let professional people do professional things!"

   "Hey, we got it!"

  Looking at the firm expressions of the two, Naoki Yongshan couldn't help muttering, what did they understand.

  In the early morning, I first shocked the two friends with a plan that sounded tall, but after that, I still have to do what I have to do!

   "Naoki-san, you have been absent from the editing of "Love Letter" for a long time! Before going to the preview today, stay in the editing room first!"

".Hi"

   Also in the morning, Yoji Yamada from Shochiku handed an invitation letter to Kinji Fukasaku.

   "Xin Erjun, do you really want to see that movie?"

   "Of course!" Kinji Fukasaku smiled, "I also specially contacted some media to release the news, saying that I was going to 'taste' horror movies by cutting-edge directors.

   At that time, as soon as I come out, they will definitely come to interview me! "

   "Then I'll say something like that's not what it sounds like, it's mediocre!"

   While talking, Kinji Fukasaku actually laughed:

   "Hahaha, horror movies are originally a niche movie, and they are very popular. How many people will watch the news of being criticized by seniors in the industry?"

  Yoji Yamada looked at the junior in front of him and felt that he was a little obsessed:

   "Xin Er-san, maybe this movie has something to offer~ Let's save some morals!"

  Fukasakuxin was very disdainful: "Even if the movie is not bad, it won't stand up to serious and meticulous analysis. I will definitely watch it carefully with my eyes wide open. If I can find a few scenes that are fake, it will be fun!"

  “.That’s a horror movie, aren’t you afraid of being scared?”

   "Hahaha, at my age, what kind of horror movie routines haven't I experienced?!"

  Kinji Fukasaku became more and more confident, "This time, I have to let Naoki Naoyama know what it means to lose face!!"

  Yoji Yamada could only offer encouragement again: "Gang Dad! Xiner-kun!"

  In the evening, Naoki Naoyama and Osamu Itou drove to the "Bunyiza" cinema in Ikebukuro again. The reason why they chose this place for the movie preview was because there were more young people here.

   There is no parking lot in "Wenyizao", so the two parked their car in a distant roadside parking space.

   "Naoki-san, what are you doing so tightly wrapped?"

   Shuichi Ido, who got out of the car, noticed that Naoki Naoyama had turned up his high collar and was wearing a big scarf, covering half of his face.

   "The last time I was photographed by a reporter here was the scandal. With the current situation, I should be more careful."

   "Hahaha, has the flirtatious Naoki-san actually started to be afraid of gossip?" Shuichi Ido laughed again, this time the gossip was too big, and it has become a stalk for him to molested his friends.

  “.”

   Forget it, I still ignore this guy, the more I talk about it, the more energetic I am.

  Turning around and walking towards the entrance of the cinema, he found that an ambulance had already parked next to the cinema, and he could see doctors and nurses in white clothes getting ready.

  Walking to the lobby of the movie theater, I found a small table next to the front desk in the lobby, where first aid equipment was placed.

   "Naoki-san, do you think you will use it today?" Itou Shuichi asked curiously.

   "Didn't the older audience have been made to choose carefully?" Naoki Naoyama predicted, "There is a high probability that it will not be used."

There are already people coming in one after another in the hall. There are many reporters with cameras on their shoulders. There are also some familiar people who are invited film critics and movie lovers in the industry. Some other young faces are from horror shows and clubs. Lucky viewers who come out of the lottery.

   Moreover, at the lobby site, some tickets were released. If there are audiences who don't know and want to take a look, they can also come in.

   "Naoki-san, Shuichi-san!"

  Riko Hayano had been waiting here for a long time, and when she saw her boss coming, she hurriedly greeted her.

   "Riko-chan, thank you~"

   Naoki Naoyama looked around, "Is everything going well so far?"

   "Hey, everyone from the production team has come, and the invited people have also arrived."

  Here, he was listening to the staff report, and over there, Shuichi Ido had already greeted familiar industry insiders, but when Naoki Naoyama took off his scarf, a bunch of reporters actually ran over.

   "Naoki-san, I haven't seen you recently!" "Naoki-san, can you tell me about the FNS song festival?" "Is today's movie the same as Akina-san's movie?"

  Accompanied by the flashing lights, the reporters began to ask other questions. For a while, the lobby of the movie theater seemed to be a media meeting for Naoki Naoyama.

   "Riko-chan, I'm counting on you here!"

   Naoki Naoyama had no choice but to run away, and immediately ran to the broadcasting hall while there was still a gap in the surrounding crowd.

  I only heard Riko Hayano saying loudly in the hall:

  “.Today is the preview of "Midnight Ring", other questions are not welcome!"

  The studio was dark and quiet. I found my seat in the front row and sat down. Only then did I get rid of the reporter's questioning.

  Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, a voice came from behind:

   "Haha, Naoki-san is indeed the hottest recently!"

   "Ah, it's Yuko-san~" Naoki Naoyama turned his head and saw Yuko Tanaka, "I didn't see you just now."

   "Thanks to Naoki-san, the reporters were all attracted away, so I can walk in quietly." Yuko Tanaka sat next to him and took off his scarf, "Naoki-san really has a gossip physique!"

   "Alas" Naoki Naoyama sighed, but he didn't intend to explain, and simply changed the topic,

   "How is Yuko-san?"

   "I just finished filming a movie, so naturally I will occasionally appear on the show during the break." Yuko Tanaka said in a relaxed tone, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. After I prepare for the movie promotion during this period, I will go to Sapporo to celebrate the New Year."

   "Sapporo?" Naoki Naoyama knew for the first time that Yuko Tanaka's hometown was in Sapporo.

   "Well, it's snowing heavily in Hokkaido, which is very suitable for skiing"

   "Yeah, I've been skiing before"

   The two were chatting, and they didn't seem to be worried about today's preview meeting at all.

   At this time, there were already many pairs of sharp eyes staring at Naoki Nagayama in the studio, and one of them belonged to Kinji Fukasaku.

   Seeing Naoki Nagayama and Yuko Tanaka chatting, he sneered:

   "Naoki Naoki is indeed a guy who forgets where he is when he sees a woman. He is not nervous at all during the important screening! Just wait for the old man's criticism!"

There is also a pair of eyes that belong to the freelance writer Matsuzawa Shinosuke. Where there is Naoki Nagayama, it is natural to have him. However, because he is a freelance writer, it is difficult to enter the TV programs, and he missed a lot of Naoki Nagayama. interview.

  In the corner, there is a pair of eyes from Naotaro Naganishi of Fuji TV. Since he was molested by Naoki Nagayama, he was deeply ashamed, so he also focused on Naoki Nagayama, and even brought the camera guys over!

   "Naitaro-san, are we here to watch movies?" The videographer, Tsuji, was puzzled. The end of the year is the time when low-level cameramen like him are busy. "There are a lot of materials to shoot in the TV station now!"

   "Tsuji Naoto, trust me! We're going to have big news here today!"

   Naotaro Nakanishi has decided to directly attack Naoki Nagayama in the interview after the movie!

  As the crowd got closer and closer, the lights in the studio dimmed, and it was finally time for the movie to play!

   Originally, I wanted to write directly about the climax of the preview, but I always felt that something was missing, so this chapter paves the way~
