Tokyo bubble life

Once the door is closed, the outside world seems to have nothing to do with Red Fish Yard.

Nagayama Naoki watched the shortlisted movies with a group of judges in the villa, scored and wrote film reviews, held a banquet, drank and chatted in his free time

The Red Fish Courtyard has a large space and was originally built for leisure. There are many entertainment facilities inside, such as game consoles, karaoke, billiards, etc., so you will not be bored even if you stay there.

Moreover, Nagayama Naoki is accompanied by Akina, which is simply enviable~

As for Akina, she has no judging work to do and no closed restrictions.

As a celebrity, she naturally has friends in Kyoto. When she is free during the day, she goes to Kyoto to hang out and visit friends. Her life is also very comfortable.

More than two weeks have passed by in a flash, and the first month of the new year has come to an end.

"Naoki-san should be almost there now." Ishikawa Fumio from the Academy Awards Association took the scoring results and comments and other materials to express his gratitude to Nagayama Naoki, "We will announce this list in early February. Then 3 At the beginning of the month, there will be an award ceremony.”

The Film Academy Awards is Neon's only film competition that will broadcast the award ceremony live. The entire film industry will be watching, so various companies and actors will definitely participate.

"Yes, I understand." Nagayama Naoki nodded, "Thank you for your hard work and come over."

"This is what it should be~"

Ishikawa Fumio said respectfully, and then said goodbye to all the judges. The work of judging is over for today.

"Mina-san, thank you all for your hard work during this time," Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "You must be tired of staying in this yard for so long~"

"Wherever, the scenery of Hongyuyuan is so good, I can stay there for another month!" "There is a lot of entertainment" "There are so many friends to chat with~" "."

All the judges unanimously praised that the care during this period was indeed very good, the courtyard was beautiful, and the professional chef was not like when I was a judge in the past, I just booked a resort hotel and everything was done.

Amidst the shouts of gratitude, the judges also prepared to leave.

As the owner of this place, Nagayama Naoki must be the last to leave.

"Akina." Seeing Akina packing her luggage, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but be a little surprised when the original two suitcases were now five. "What did you buy?"

"They're all clothes!" Akina looked up and said with a smile, "Didn't Naoki-san encourage me to design clothes? After I picked out some unique clothes in Kyoto, I also wanted to go to Shinjuku to see foreign fashion trends."

"There are so many clothes, where can I put them?"

Nagayama Naoki looked at the full suitcases and recalled the gossip that Akina rented four warehouses to store her singing clothes in her previous life. He felt that he was the one who aroused Akina's desire to shop.

"There is an attic for storing miscellaneous items in the other half of Yamazakura. I plan to turn it into a design studio. The clothes are also stored there."

Akina squatted down to straighten her clothes with some difficulty. She was almost five months pregnant and her belly was already affecting her movements.

Nagayama Naoki quickly helped close the suitcase and said to the energetic Akina:

"There is no need to worry so much about designing clothes. We can go visit the clothing factory first."

"I want to try it out first to see if the designed style will be popular." Akina said with a smile, "When the design comes out, I will show it to my friends who make clothes first. If they are willing to produce it, I will then consider buying a factory. .”

Without the complicated things in the entertainment industry, Akina had enough time to think clearly about establishing a clothing brand. She also knew that although she had a special sense of fashion, the style she wore would create trends every time.

But it still needs to be determined whether fans accept this style because of her fame, or whether the style itself is liked.

“I’m also going to try to submit articles for fashion magazines!”

Naoki Nagayama looked at the smile on his wife's face, showing his support as a husband and full of emotional value:

"Ah Bai. Is this still my Mingcai? The planning is clear and logical, and it is indeed a treat to watch after three days of separation!"

"I'm so smart to begin with, Naoki-san, don't underestimate me!" Akina glanced at her husband with confidence, and then laughed happily, "There will be many times in the future that I will impress you!"

"Then I'm looking forward to it!"

After returning to Sansakura-in in Tokyo, before he had time to rest, Naoki Nagayama was called out by a phone call.

In an office building in Ginza, Wonta Nakai is drinking tea with Naoki Nagayama in the office of Shuyou Capital.

"Naoki-san, you haven't seen anyone for more than half a month." Nakai Wonta took a sip of tea and looked at Nagayama Naoki who was reading the report. "Have you forgotten that you still have hundreds of billions of yen in property?" Going back!"

"Haha, the judges are not isolated from inside and outside. You can still make phone calls~" Nagayama Naoki responded with a smile, "It seems that the money has been safely transferred back to Neon!"

"Yes, it took a lot of effort to create a lot of new departure accounts," Wonta Nakai said, "but fortunately, they have all been transferred back!"

"Naoki-san, now you are a super rich man with hundreds of billions of liquidity!"

"Hahaha" After hearing this number, Naoki Nagayama no longer had the enthusiasm he had at the beginning, "There will be more in the future."

Wonta Nakai clicked his tongue and did not continue to boast. He only felt that his heart needed to be strengthened.

"Oh, by the way." He handed a document into Nagayama Naoki's hand, "This is the main reason why I called you here so urgently."

Nagayama Naoki took the file and opened it. Inside was an investigation report on forest rights transactions.

Neon's forest is divided into state-owned forests, public-owned forests and privately-owned forests.

Forestry resources are basically under the management of a system called forest association, which ranges from the national forest association federation to the small forest association organizations at the municipal, town and village level. The forests owned by their members basically occupy 50% of the total forest area in the country. half.

Forest combinations organize scattered small and medium-sized forest owners to carry out large-scale, professional and intensive production and management, and promote the modern development of forestry~

"Zhishu Mulberry, at present, almost all small forest owners are members of the forest association. They join the forest association for joint management. Only in this way can labor productivity and profitability be improved."

Nakai Wonta explained to Naoki Nagayama while pointing at the data analysis.

"In the beginning, profits were indeed guaranteed and a group of forest owners benefited. However, after 1980, due to the impact of low-priced timber from abroad, domestic timber prices fell sharply and have remained sluggish."

"Judging from the current situation, Neon's domestic timber prices will remain at a low level and will not go back for the time being! Many forest owners cannot bear it anymore and have begun to sell forest rights. Will we acquire it at this time?"

When Nagayama Naoki heard this, his original attitude towards purchasing did not change. Instead, he said cheerfully:

"This is a good time to buy the dip!"

"Yuan Taisang, remember, we have so much money now that we have no place to spend it. We need to find assets that can maintain and increase in value."

“As a resource, timber will continue to increase in value if placed in the ground, maybe even in a few decades.”

Nakai Wonta shook his head:

"It's better to buy gold mines to preserve value."

"Haha, someone has to sell it!" Nagayama Naoki laughed, "If someone sells gold or iron ore, we will buy it immediately!"

Nakai Wonta also knew that it was impossible. Those mineral resources were all in the hands of families with close ties to the government, and others who wanted to buy them had no chance.

In other words, there are still opportunities for forest rights and land~

"In short, if the forest owner offers to take action, we will buy it." Naoki Nagayama said, "Establish a leather bag company and hire professional managers to take care of it. Just follow the current method of timber management, as long as we don't lose money. "

"Then you must join the forest group!" Wanda Nakai said, "Won't Naoki-san show up?"

"I won't wait until the purchased forest rights reach a certain area before I come forward." Nagayama Naoki said, "Anyway, in this forest association organization, the larger the area, the more say they have."

"Hey, let's go negotiate!"

Wonta Nakai has no worries about whether he can buy the forest rights. With hundreds of billions of dollars in hand, who can compete with him? !

Naoki Nagayama, who was sitting on the sofa, recalled an American TV series he watched in his previous life - "Yellowstone".

The Dutton family, which owns the largest land in Montana, supports government agents, arms, and interferes with justice just to protect their land.

In Neon, Nagayama Naoki only needs to pay money to buy the forest rights that the forest owners cannot manage.

"Sure enough, neon lights are different from the free America where gun battles happen every day!" Naoki Nagayama sighed, "But it's better to be safe."

As several major awards in the film industry are about to be announced, movie theaters have begun to select last year's outstanding films for re-release, and people's attention to movies continues to increase.

"The Legend of Hayato" has been released for a month, and its popularity is much lower than when it was first released. However, the total box office has reached more than 2 billion, which is far higher than other movies of the same period.

Shuyou Pictures once again stands at the top of the film industry

"Shuichi-san. How was the filming of your "The Man with Zero Presence" going?" Yoshimura Otomo chatted with Itou Shuichi after the review meeting in the Shuyou Building.

"." Yi Tangxiu wiped his face with a bitter expression, "Otomo-san, you know that feeling."

"That feeling of having no passion, but having to work hard to do something. Helpless and wronged, but you have to cheer up. But you can't persist for long before you become decadent again."

Yoshimura Otomo listened well at first, but the longer he listened, his expression began to look strange. Why, the more Shuichi Itou spoke, the more he felt like he was describing the embarrassment of a middle-aged man.

When I think about the experience of having to pay public food to my wife every half month, I have no passion but I must do it. I can't persist for long, I feel helpless and aggrieved.

"Shuichi-san, what are you talking about!!!"

Yoshimura Otomo's tone subconsciously increased a lot, which shocked Itou Shuichi.

"Why is it so loud all of a sudden?!" Itou Shuichi looked at Yoshimura Otomo, "I'm not talking about making a movie!"

"I was filming "The Man with Zero Presence" with Kyū Kijima. I always lost my energy. I obviously wanted to work hard, but it didn't take long for me to lose my passion again."

"Oh, so I'm talking about movies!"

"Then what do you think it is?"

"I thought Shuichi-san was in a bad mood recently!" Yoshimura Otomo immediately responded perfunctorily and changed the topic, "So Shuichi-san, do you think any of the scripts presented by the screenwriting team at this review meeting are refreshing? ?”

"It's refreshing." Itou Shuichi shook his head, "A good script is like a good novel, it can only depend on God's will. These scripts are all regular and regular, and the resulting movies are neither good nor bad."

"If you say so, it can be filmed?!" Otomo Yoshimura confirmed.

"Well, haven't we contacted many producers who are interested in investing before? We can let the new directors give it a try," Shuichi Itou said, "I will also set up a film project and apply for the subsidies and discounts above."

"Anyway, we can start filming first. Otherwise, our crew will be idle all day!"

Fangcun Dayou nodded: "Well, I'll just listen to Shuichi-san~"

The division of labor between these two people has been very clear. Everything about the movie is subject to Itou Shuichi, and everything else is subject to Yoshimura Otomo. As for Naoki Nagayama, haha~

They both listened to him!

"By the way, should Naoki-san come back?" Otomo Yoshimura suddenly thought, "When will his movie "Battle Royale" be filmed?"

"Naoki-san said he didn't want to film it. And he said that "Battle Royale" is a bit inconsistent with the current social situation. I want to wait until there is no suitable script before filming this one."

Itou Shuichi said this,

"Besides, after Naoki-san comes back, he might write a new script soon!"

"He is so busy and has to raise a baby," Otomo Yoshimura said halfway as if he realized he had made a mistake. "How can he have time to write a script when he has to raise a baby?"

"Didn't I write "Tokyo Love Story" before I got married? I sold the trial version of the novel, haven't you seen it?!"

Itou Shuichi said with some jealousy,

"Some people cannot be treated with common sense!"

"Oh~~~" Yoshimura Otomo looked at Itou Shuichi, "You said Naoki-san is not a human being!"

"!!! Otomo-san, you are already so old, so stop playing tricks like elementary school students!"

The two people in the office joked and walked out, and happened to meet Masataka Komori and other directors who were about to go out, and there was another bustle.

Masataka Komori took the script that had been approved by the review committee and began to prepare for the project. Then he had to find suitable actors. He had already had the experience of making independent films, so he was no stranger to these.

And by the way, new people like Matsuo Souo can be used as a reason to train younger generations.

"Otomo-san, Shuichi-san, Naoki-san, are you back?"

"Well, it seems they are back." Itou Shuichi said, "The Academy Award judges have returned. I heard that the final list of winners will be announced in the near future."

"Which movie won the grand prize?!" Masataka Komori looked forward to it. Although the hope was not high, "Diary of the Sea Street" was a movie directed by him after all.

Yi Tangxiu glanced at him, but still told him the cruel news:

"It's "Ran" by Akira Kurosawa. It's natural for a great director to give face to his movie."

".ε=(ο｀*)))Alas"

"However, "Haijie Diary" still won two awards for Best Cinematography and Best Editing. This is already very good!"

Itou Xiuyi comforted this great disciple of Shuyou,

"Come on next time!"

".Hi!"

Komori Masataka lowered his head and saw the movie script in his hand, and suddenly became disappointed. This movie would definitely not win an award!

He raised his head and looked at Itou Shuichi expectantly:

"Shuichi-san, Naoki-san, do you have any new scripts?"

"."

One or two, all are counting on Naoki Nagayama!

"When he comes here tomorrow, you can ask him again!"
