Tokyo Bubble Life

  Chapter 565 563, it’s really a surprise!

“Share Transfer Plan, Program Planning”

Yoshimura Otomo took stock of the materials he would bring with him at night. Although Kadokawa Haruki might not read them at night, as an experienced part-time worker, Yoshimura Otomo always made the best preparations.

Shuichi Itou was counting the judges he had already settled on his desk and calculating the approximate winning rate. He couldn't help but laugh when he saw Otomo Yoshimura's look:

“Otomo-san, why are you so nervous? Isn’t Haruki-san your old friend?”

 “Cultivation of one mulberry tree and business talk in business.”

Yoshimura Otomo is still very clear that their old friendship is just a stepping stone. As a successful businessman, Kadokawa Haruki is still very shrewd when it comes to interests.

Itou Shuichi didn't say much after hearing this, but sighed: "Speaking of which, I feel a little unwilling to exchange the shares of Kadokawa Pictures for the shares of the future Shuyu Group!"

“After all, it has been reduced from 25% to 10%, which is already a lot of reduction.” Yoshimura Otomo said, “This is still due to Naoki-san’s genius-like creativity.”

“Isn’t it because of the growth of the office?” Itou Shuichi said, “Idol and other entertainment businesses.”

"Those are just accessories to Zhishumulberry." Fangcun Otomo saw clearly, "Thanks to Zhishumulberry, we are already at a higher starting point. Shuyou's main goal in the future is to create a mature The business model can feed back the mulberry trees, rather than relying on the mulberry trees to survive."

Yi Tangxiu was shocked by Yoshimura Otomo's words. He originally thought that everyone was on the same level, but I didn't expect that you, Yoshimura Otomo, have surpassed me by so much!

“Hi!” Itou Shuichi nodded heavily, “The film department should work hard too! We must produce more blockbuster movies this year!”

Yoshimura Otomo and him looked at each other, their eyes full of recognition, and the atmosphere in the office suddenly became erotic.

But not long after, a knock on the door interrupted the two people's sympathy.

"Shuichi-san." Hoshi Kahana opened the door, "Mr. Sugiyama Tohihiko of Kadokawa Pictures is here."

“Ah, it’s him.” Yi Tangxiu nodded, “Please invite him in.”

Seeing Xing Jiahua go to fetch someone, Fangcun Dayou asked: "Xiu Yisang, what are Sugiyama Zhiyan doing?"

“Of course I’m ready to join the job.” Itou Shuichi said, “Starting from tomorrow, this person will be the section chief of our Shuyu Film Publishing Department!”

“Oh? Are you so active?” Because Itou Shuichi had been in contact with him, Yoshimura Otomo didn’t know the progress.

 “Hi, Sugiyama-san is a man of action.”

After understanding Sugiyama Tohihiko’s experience and resume, this evaluation is not low.

Soon, Sugiyama Tohihiko knocked on the door and came in. He asked very respectfully: "Shuichi-san, Otomo-san."

"Haha, Sugiyama-san, welcome to Shuyu Pictures." Itou Shuichi welcomed him warmly, "You already know Otomo-san. If Naoki-san doesn't want to go through the entry formalities for you today, then he will introduce you to other people in the company tomorrow. introduce."

"Hi!"

Sugiyama Chihiko’s attitude can be considered respectful. Under the leadership of Itou Shuichi, he successfully completed the onboarding process. Then when he returned to the office, he showed a dedicated attitude:

"Xiu Yisang, now that I have joined the job, I will complete the staffing of the distribution department as soon as possible."

“Well, you have experience in this, but I need to teach Masataka Komori more during the formation.”

Shuichi Itou said that the distribution department naturally needs someone who knows the basics. Masataka Komori, as a confidant of Shuichi Itou, already has rich experience in film production, and it is time to get involved in other fields.

"Hi!" Sugiyama Chihiko nodded in agreement. As the head of the distribution department who was dropped halfway, he had already been psychologically prepared to cooperate with others. "Shuichi-san, since you have joined the company, I would like to know more about the company's recent history. Are there any projects that need to be prepared for release?”

 Preparation for film release begins even from the time the film is approved and continues until the film is released.

Itou Shuichi scratched his head: "Speaking of which, currently only "Midnight Ring" and "Love Letter" are in the final stages. As for new projects, they have not started yet."

“.?” Sugiyama Tohihiko was a little confused, “Shuyu Pictures, isn’t there a schedule for film projects to be shot in the next few years?”

Generally speaking, movies are planned one or two years in advance from project approval to release. With the size of Shuyu Pictures and the continuous release of movies in the past, Sugiyama Chihiko thought that it had been planned five years in advance. Went after that.

"This" Shuichi Itou and Otomo Yoshimura looked at each other, "our Shuyu movies always end one before starting the next."

"???" Sugiyama Chihiko seemed a little confused, "But... what about the previous script confirmation, production committee formation, investment promotion? These all need to be prepared long in advance."

"Ah hahaha, our tree friends' movies are basically all owned by ourselves!" Itou Shuichi touched his nose and smiled awkwardly, "The script was also written directly by Naoki-san, so it basically doesn't take much time. .”

 “Okay?” Sugiyama Chihiko just thought that the company itself had sufficient funds and strength, “What about casting and early publicity? The schedules of stars are not easy to coordinate.”

Next to him, Otomo Yoshimura laughed: "Haha, at present, all our artists are basically amateurs. The only exceptions are Naoki-san's beauties. Ahem, they are all Naoki-san's personal relationships."

 What you just wanted to say was a confidante, right? ! Or the subject of scandal?

Sugiyama Tohihiko’s mouth twitched, and he selectively forgot the second half of the sentence: “So that’s it, all the new people are employed.”

Itou Shuichi felt that this could not be done anymore. The more he listened to his own tree friends’ videos, the more irregular they became!

"Ahem, Sugiyama-san, actually we do have two filming plans this year." Itou Shuyi said the two scripts he had discussed with Nagayama Naoki before, "One is a TV series called "Tokyo Love Story" ;The other is the movie "Love Stops Like the Rain""

"Oh? Two?" Sugiyama Chihiko managed to regain some composure, "Then I will start work based on these two projects. As for the TV series, is there any intention from the TV station? As for the movie, the project has already been approved. Have you read the book?"

"Ah, there's no rush for this right now. There's no need to be so urgent, Sugiyama-san. During this period, let's start by taking over the follow-up distribution of "Love Letter" and get to know Shuyou's style." Itou Shuichi interrupted quickly, "Then publish the book. Department building”

 “Hey!” Sugiyama Chihiko finally nodded. After all, his direct boss is Itou Shuichi.

 When Sugiyama Chihiko went to his work station, Itou Shuichi breathed a sigh of relief:

 “Does this Sugiyama-san actually feel so oppressed? Sure enough, he came from a big company.”

This is similar to the managers of large factories such as Alibaba and Tencent who suddenly entered a startup company and talked about one thing after another, frightening the private bosses who had worked hard from the rough stage.

Yoshimura Otomo smiled and said: "Haha, he is indeed a man of action. I think this year's film department will be very different."

"Otomo-san, stop talking. I've been sweating on my forehead just now." Itou Xiu smiled and said, "But he does seem to be very experienced. We'll see if he can adapt to Shuyou Movies in the future."

“Hahaha, are you afraid that he will join the underworld like Ren Boqingshui?” Fangcun Otomo said with a smile.

"There's something about being in the underworld. Isn't our boss just the third generation with a good foundation?" Itou Shuichi said, thinking of Nagayama Naoki again, "By the way, where did Naoki-san go? I'm going to Heharu this evening. Shusang has met."

"He said he went to have dinner with friends at noon~" Fangcun Otomo shrugged, "He didn't even eat the company lunch box, he probably went to find a girl~"

ˆ “.”

 Sometimes~

Obviously I just wanted to squint for a while at noon, but when I opened my eyes again, the sky was filled with red clouds outside the window, which made people surprised at how short the winter afternoon was.

After Nagayama Naoki opened his eyes, he realized that he had been lying on his side on the sofa for some time, with his head resting on Akina's thigh. There seemed to be a hand gently covering his face, and he felt soft Soft and very comfortable.

 The legendary knee pillow achievement achieved! !

 Hurryly sat up and saw a stack of manuscript paper next to Akina. It looked like she had been reading a novel all afternoon~

Nakamori Akina smiled and said: "Naoki-san is awake?"

“I fell asleep by accident, and it took so long, haha~” Nagayama Naoki smiled sheepishly, “Did I press Akina’s leg all afternoon? Is it numb?”

"Not at all." Akina had a playful smile on her face. She came closer and could feel the warm breath. "At first, Naoki-san was leaning against the sofa. After I got up and came back, she leaned against me. shoulders, and then slowly slid to the thighs~

How about it? Is it comfortable to sleep on my lap pillow? "

“I slept soundly.” Nagayama Naoki put his arms around Akina, smiled and gently rubbed the temporary pillow, and sincerely thanked Akina, “Anyway, thank you for Akina’s thigh! Hahaha~”

 “Zhi Shu Mulang!”

 His little girlfriend got angry and started fighting with Nagayama Naoki.

After laughing for a long time, the two of them leaned together. Nagayama Naoki hugged the soft body in his arms and calmed his breathing:

 “Akina, have you finished the novel?”

“It’s not even half done yet. I want to watch it between recordings.”

 Mingcai piled the manuscript papers into a pile and placed them next to her.

“Ah, we have to record tonight.” Nagayama Naoki glanced at the alarm clock subconsciously, “16:26?! Oh, I have an appointment to visit other people too!”

 I agreed with Yoshimura Otomo in the morning that I would visit Haruki Kadokawa in the evening. In addition to discussing news related to the company's reorganization, I also wanted Kadokawa to support the award for "Love Letter".

Ming Cai also responded: "If it's already this time, Fang Zesang should be coming soon!"

The two of them suddenly felt a little anxious and began to prepare in a hurry.

 Borrowing the phone number from Akina's apartment, Nagayama Naoki knew that Yoshimura Otomo and the others had gone out. He hurriedly got dressed:

“Mingna, I have to leave first~”

“Hey, be careful along the way~” Akina stood at the entrance and watched her boyfriend leave.

Nagayama Naoki stopped, smiled and pointed at his face: "There's something missing!"

  “mua~”

The party with a veteran **** like Kadokawa Haruki was naturally at a high-end membership club.

This time I came to an office building located on the busiest street in Ginza. After going up from the second floor, the space inside suddenly opened up.

 Pure red booths and dark table and chair decorations are gorgeous yet low-key luxurious.

The atmosphere here is very different from the feasting and feasting atmosphere of other nightclubs. Although there is also drinking, most of them are talking and laughing softly. In each booth, there are two or three young ladies in kimono communicating with the guests. It’s serious. Like a salon.

“Naoki-san, Otomo-san, Shuichi-san. Here.” Morikawa Isao greeted from a booth. I don’t know why, but it seems that every time Kadokawa Haruki is in the club, he is next to him.

“Morikawa-san, Haruki-san~” Nagayama Naoki and the other three greeted each other after they sat down in the booth.

“Haha, everyone is here!” Kadokawa Haruki was in a good mood now, with a smile on his face, “This is Misato-san, Mama-san here, and next to her are Ai-chan and Momonaga-chan.”

After introducing each other, mother Sang Miri said in surprise: "It turns out to be Fujii Shu from "Love Letter". Many of our girls are fans of your movie!"

 The two waitresses next to him, Ai-chan and Momonaga-chan, also cast their eyes over.

“Haha, that’s really flattering~” Naoki Nagayama could only say haha. After all, this was not the first time he had encountered this situation. He had almost gotten used to it after he became famous.

Kadokawa Haruki smiled and said to Morikawa Isao next to him: "Look, as expected, when Naoki-san came, all the ladies paid attention to him!"

Mother Sang Miri was so charming that she quickly took Kadokawa Haruki's hand and patted it, as if comforting a child: "No way, I've been paying attention to Haruki-san~"

 “Ahahaha~” Kadokawa Haruki seemed to really like this, and happily held Mama-san’s hand.

  Sigh. The habits of rich people are indeed a bit difficult to understand sometimes.

The people in this booth chatted for a while and after drinking a few glasses of wine, the whole atmosphere began to become very harmonious.

Kadokawa Haruki first brought it up: "Naoki-san, Otomo-san, I have already read about the share swap. 5% of Kadokawa Pictures shares, plus the previous Shuyu Pictures shares, will be exchanged for Shuyu Group I have no objection to 10% of the shares."

"Haha, that's good. If we don't have any objections, we will sign the contract later." Otomo Yoshimura toasted a glass of wine, "In the future, our relationship with Kadokawa will be even closer."

 “Yes, let’s make money together!” After drinking the wine, Kadokawa Haruki’s face glowed red.

Itou Shuichi also toasted and said: "I'll have to take care of Haruki-san from now on!"

 “No problem, no problem~” Kadokawa Haruki did not refuse anyone who came and drank another glass of wine.

 Coupled with the compliments and jokes of Mirisan, who was accompanying the drink, and the two young ladies, the atmosphere became even more lively.

Seeing that the mood was almost over, Naoki Nagayama relaxed and chatted casually: "By the way, Haruki-san, does Kadokawa Shoten have any relationship with the Japan Free National Society in the publishing industry?"

 “Liberal National Society?” Kadokawa Haruki was a little surprised, “Naoki-san, what do you want from them? A bunch of old-fashioned people.”

“Ah, we collaborated with Fuji TV on a variety show.”

Nagayama Naoki briefly talked about the program "Newspeak Buzzword Awards". Mama-san and the hostess who were sitting here only thought it was an interesting-sounding program, but Kadokawa Haruki became serious after listening to it. stand up.

“Naoki-san means to let the whole people participate in deciding the buzzwords or new words every month?”

“Hey, this kind of interaction that is relevant to everyone will mobilize the enthusiasm of the audience and expand the influence of the program.” Naoki Nagayama nodded.

“And at the end of the year, choose a word that represents the overall situation of this year?”

Nagayama Naoki explained: "In terms of buzzwords and annual kanji, they can be divided into different programs. Anyway, it is the end of the year and we will make a summary."

 Kadokawa Haruki listened very intently, because in the past, most of the year-end events in the entertainment industry were related to entertainment.

The annual summary of the country as a whole is generally carried out by the government or the royal family, such as the Prime Minister's speech or the royal family's speech. In other words, it is political and cannot be touched by ordinary people.

However, Nagayama Naoki's approach of starting from popular words and finally selecting the representative kanji of the year has a certain degree of authority and does not really touch political sensitivities. In addition, it is a kind of public participation, which is important for the overall year. expression of situation

If the show becomes more influential, the upper class will definitely pay attention and even come directly to participate.

“So, Naoki-san wants the participation of Japan Free National Society?” Kadokawa Haruki thought of the previous question.

"Haha, yes, after all, we still need some authoritative endorsement." Nagayama Naoki laughed, "By the way, Haruki-san, do you want to also participate in this show? If Kadokawa Shoten joins, then this show will definitely have an influence It will be bigger!”

Kadokawa Haruki put down his wine glass silently and began to think seriously. The drunkenness before was no longer in his eyes.

After all, the one under the Liquor House is the helmsman of the Kadokawa Group. His previous dissolute behavior was just for happiness. When important matters are involved, he will immediately change back to the shrewd businessman.

Mama-san and the two young ladies on the side also became quiet, but she handed over a cold towel in time and asked Kadokawa Haruki to wipe his face, which made him feel more awake.

Such an interesting-sounding program, coupled with the help of Nagayama Naoki and Fuji TV, Kadokawa Haruki can already think of what will happen next:

 Public people will be curious at first, and then get involved, and the influence will expand, attracting the attention of the entertainment industry, and they will follow suit. However, due to their preconceived impression, everyone will still recognize the authority of Naoki Nagayama’s program.

The huge participation and influence will attract the attention of the higher-ups. At the end of the year, celebrities in economic, political, cultural and other fields will be invited to recommend the final Chinese characters. Politicians will not miss this national opportunity to show their faces and will use this opportunity. Use words to express your political ideas and attitudes, and other celebrities will definitely be happy to

When the relevant people have tasted the benefits for the first time, this kind of interesting and political program will definitely continue to be held for a long time, and the initiator of this program will definitely gain contacts and channels that are usually rare. .

Kadokawa Haruki wiped his face with a towel:

 “Naoki-san, you really surprise people!”

“Haha, Haruki-san, it’s just an entertainment show.” Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, “I wonder if Kadokawa Shoten is willing to join in?”

“Of course!” Kadokawa Haruki readily agreed, “I’ll ask someone from Kadokawa Bookstore who is familiar with the National Freedom Society to help pull the strings.”

“Thank you so much!” Nagayama Naoki quickly picked up the wine glass.

 After this decision was made, the atmosphere in this booth became even more heated.

While toasting and changing glasses, Naoki Nagayama said: "By the way, Haruki-san, will you go to this year's Blue Ribbon and Film Academy Awards?"

 “If you have time, of course I’ll go~” Kadokawa Haruki said easily.

“Haha, let’s see how many awards “Love Letter” can win then!”

Kadokawa Haruki suddenly remembered the arrogant way Naoki Nagayama said "I want them all" when they met before, and couldn't help laughing:

“It looks like Naoki-san will definitely win a lot of awards this time!”

 “Then let’s borrow the auspicious words of spring trees and mulberry trees!”

 An unexplained exchange was completed in the heart-to-heart understanding between the two.
