Tokyo bubble life

After the first few episodes of the TV series were edited, Naoki Nagayama gave the crew a rare holiday to let everyone have a good rest.

He himself wanted to rest at home and sleep in.

But it only takes two weeks to develop a habit, and the damn biological clock still wakes people up early.

"Good morning, Naoki~"

Mari Nonaka always gets up earlier than Naoki Nagayama and his friends. Every time they go downstairs after washing up, they can see that breakfast is almost cooked~

"Mrs. Nonaka, good morning~"

After saying hello, Naoki Nagayama walked into the courtyard, his face bathed in the warm sunshine, breathing the fresh air, and he felt refreshed and full of energy.

After playing with the wagging tail of Yingtaro for a while, and stroking the lying Nyankotaro on the porch, I felt that the morning routine task had been completed. Then when I walked into the living room, I saw Akina had come down and waved at me sitting next to the dining table~

This should be a happy daily life~

"Naoki-san, are you at home all day today?"

Akina asked while eating breakfast,

"Any plans?"

"I think so. I don't have any special plans. I just plan to take a rest." Nagayama Naoki shook his head, "Akina, do you have any plans?"

"Drawing blueprints, taking a walk, watching TV."

Akina talked about her daily life during pregnancy, and she felt like Nyankotaro, who seemed a little too lazy.

There was already a report on "Tokyo Love Story" in the morning newspaper. Film and television reporters were full of praise for this TV series, saying that the characters were well chosen, the plot was very compact, and they were looking forward to the subsequent plot, etc.

Akina turned her head and took a look at the report:

"Naoki-san, everyone is very optimistic about it~"

"This cost money!"

Naoki Naoyama shook his head. It is very difficult to promote it. There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. No matter how good a thing is, some people will not like it.

If you don't spend money, how can the newspapers be full of praise.

"."

Akina stopped talking and quickly stuffed her breakfast into her mouth. She also knew how she got so popular in the past few years.

After finishing breakfast, Akina started to walk in the yard, and then went to her design studio. On the one hand, she had to draw some clothing designs, and on the other hand, she was also making small clothes for the baby.

Naoki Nagayama, on the other hand, ran into the study after a while and began to perfect the script of "Across the World" that he had recalled before.

"The important thing is, who will play the role? It's hard to find a replacement for Leslie Cheung, Chow Yun-fat, and Cherie Chung in Japan!"

"Are you going to invite me to play the role?"

I thought I would spend the day leisurely, but I received a call from Rumi Nishi in the morning to have dinner with me.

So Naoki Nagayama met Ota Sugiura and Rumi Nishi in a Japanese restaurant in Shinjuku:

"Ota Sugiura, Rumi Nishi~"

"Naoki is here~"

Sugiura Ota Sugiura smiled and stood up from the tatami to greet him, then pulled him to sit down at the small table,

"It's rare to have time today!"

"Yes, just now The TV series is about to air, so I'll give everyone a break. "

Naoki Nagayama explained,

"It just so happened that Nishi Rumi-san called to arrange a meal~"

"Haha, Nishi Rumi has now become Naoki-san's exclusive contact~" Sugiura Daitai joked, "Everyone in the TV station knows it!"

And Nishi Rumi, who was helping to pour tea on the other side, rolled her eyes:

"It's all Daitai-san who's talking nonsense!"

"Ahahaha, we knew each other the earliest. I remember when I first arrived at Fuji TV, it was Nishi Rumi-san who led the way~"

"This is fate~"

"."

Originally, there was not much purpose for this gathering, just to reminisce about the past. The three of them chatted without any sense of distance, and were very relaxed.

When talking about the broadcast of "Tokyo Love Story", Sugiura Daitai even took out the ratings data from his bag and handed it to Naoki Nagayama.

"The ratings of the first episode of Tokyo Love Story reached 32%, and it is expected to be higher in the future."

"Ah, 32% is very good~"

Naoki Nagayama nodded. This is already the ratings of a popular variety show. When the TV series broadcasts important plots, the ratings will definitely be higher, maybe it can reach about 50%, almost reaching the level of the Red and White Songs Festival~

"Jiyou's TV series are now synonymous with high quality."

Nishi Rumi interrupted,

"In addition to the previous few TV series, there is a sense of booking the prime time."

"Haha, let's call it Jiyou's special show in the future," Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "We will take care of the prime time!"

Nishi Rumi also smiled:

"It is indeed Naoki-san who made her famous! There is already a special name for Jiyou's TV series, called the monthly 9 drama."

Originally, the prime time can be variety shows, news, or other programs, but since Jiyou took the prime time, it has almost become a symbol, all TV series!

When people think of Fuji TV's 9 o'clock prime time, they first associate it with Shuyou's TV series. The name of the monthly nine drama has been accepted by more and more people.

Just as the three of them were chatting happily, the door of the private room opened and a fat young man with a smile on his face walked in.

"Naoki-san!"

"Akimoto-san, ignore me~"

Nagayama Naoki smiled and said hello, today is Nishi Rumi's bureau, nominally under the banner of the last gathering in the production bureau office.

Yasushi Akimoto is leaving for TBS. Only half of the original office staff are left, and the team is about to be disbanded~

"How was it? Where did the conversation go?"

Qiu Yuanyasu was not restrained at all and started talking after sitting down.

"What about the ratings of the new TV series?"

Sugiura Otai chatted and asked the waiter to start serving the dishes. Everyone was already here, and the wine party officially started.

"Naoki-san's "Tokyo Love Story" is such a good work!" Yasushi Akimoto complimented with a smile, "The novel is equally wonderful."

"Thank you for the compliment~"

Nagayama Naoki raised his glass to express his gratitude, and then said,

"I heard that Akimoto-san has gone to TBS?"

"Hi" Yasushi Akimoto nodded, "Fuji TV does not support my new program, but I think this program will definitely cause a sensation!"

With that said, he took out the event plan again. "Fighting!" People! 》

"Naoki-san, let's take a look too!"

"Haha~ Then I'm not welcome~"

Naoki Nagayama did not refuse. This program was expanded based on the game "Of course", and he had some opinions in the early days.

"Running Man" definitely has the potential to become a hit as a variety show, but Naoki Nagayama doesn't want to spend too much time on variety shows, and it's also very troublesome to shoot this kind of live outdoor competitive variety show, so it doesn't matter if it's left to Akimoto Yasushi. .

At the end, he can still see the early neon version of Running Man!

"Hmm~"

Nagayama Naoki flipped through the planning book. He had had some exchanges with Akimoto Yasushi before, so he was quite familiar with the games and other things in the planning book, and there were no problems with the process.

"Akimoto-san, this kind of shooting requires more advanced cameras and portable radio equipment. After all, if you want to shoot scenes and people in motion, it will be very troublesome to carry a camera with a lot of cords."

"In this case, I will apply to the United States to purchase the latest mobile cameras and sports microphones."

Akimoto Yasushi had also considered this, but because the purchase amount was quite large, Fuji TV would not support it.

"Haha, and the selection of guests does not necessarily have to be the most popular idols at the moment, the main thing is to be topical and mysterious."

Naoki Nagayama said,

"For example, Hiromi Go, Ken Takakura, etc."

"Ahem~"

Hearing this, Akimoto Yasushi, who had just picked up a piece of sashimi, coughed:

"Naoki-san! These people's schedules are hard to come by. Once the show becomes popular, it will be about the same!"

"Haha, it's just a suggestion~"

"Speaking of which, if Naoki-san participates."

"Absolutely impossible!"

".So heartless~"

The two discussed the program for a while, and then stopped. After all, they were not here for discussion today.

"Da Tai-san, Nishiro Mei-san, come and have a drink!"

"Haha, okay~" "One cup is enough!" "."

In the afternoon, Nagayama Naoki, who smelled of alcohol, did not return to Yamazakura-in.

Akina was pregnant, and for some reason she was a little sensitive to the smell of alcohol at this stage. He thought it would be better to wait until the smell of alcohol dissipated before going back.

He didn’t want to go for tea, so after thinking about it for a while, Naoki Nagayama actually chose to come to the Tree Friends Building!

After all, the office here is very spacious and equipped with computers.

"Naoki-san?"

Xing Jiahua at the front desk was very surprised.

"Why are you here today?"

"Come to the editing room and take a look."

Naoki Nagayama can't be said to be here to sober up.

"It's really hard work," Xing Jiahua sighed, "Naoki-san must have set an example, otherwise Komori-san and Kijima-san wouldn't have come to work overtime today!"

"?"

Nagayama Naoki was a little surprised.

"Are they two here to work overtime?"

"Hi, I went to the editing room this morning."

"."

Nagayama Naoki walked towards the editing room with a puzzled face. Recently, Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyor have been fighting over the filming rights of "Tiger of Ginza". Now the two of them are actually working overtime in the editing room together? !

Generally speaking, if a child suddenly becomes unusually quiet, he must be holding back his ultimate move!

"The two of them are not going to have a fight in the editing room, right?!"

False competition is to amplify one's own advantages, denigrate the opponent's disadvantages, and show that one is the most worthy candidate in front of the boss;

The real competition is to take your opponent to an alley and beat him to death, and then tell your boss that you only have one candidate left!

When he walked to the editing room, Naoki Nagayama calmed down his footsteps, put his ear close to the door, and listened quietly to the movement inside. It was quiet!

"Ah Bai! They won't fall down together!"

Nagayama Naoki screamed in his heart and suddenly opened the door!

In the spacious editing room, Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyor each had an editing machine and were concentrating on editing a reel of film material.

The two of them were so focused that they even took a few breaths to react after Naoki Nagayama opened the door.

"Naoki-san? Why are you here?!" X2

"Ah" Nagayama Naoki looked at the two people who were unharmed and breathed a sigh of relief, "I just stopped by to take a look. What are you two doing?"

"Forehead"

Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyor looked at each other, and it was Komori Masataka who explained,

"Kijima and I are competing on our editing skills. We made two copies of some of the original materials of "Tokyo Love Story" and made an appointment to compete today."

Kijima Kyūya said:

"Because previous competitions in other aspects failed to determine the winner, we agreed this time that whoever edits well within three hours will get the right to shoot "Tiger of Ginza"!"

"."

Listening to this extremely childish reason, Naoki Nagayama wiped his face.

"You two. I won't talk about the rest. So once the editing is done, how do you judge the effect of the editing? What if one party doesn't admit it?"

"this"

Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyor looked at each other again, and instantly understood their thoughts, and then suddenly realized that the other party would definitely not respect martial ethics! ! !

The two of them turned their heads at the same time and snorted in their hearts. Humph! He is indeed a powerful enemy! Even so thick-skinned!

"Isn't this Naoki-san?!"

Komori Masataka immediately thought of it,

"Naoki-san can make the decision!"

"I won't do it!"

Nagayama Naoki shook his head, walked over and gave two people a knife on their heads.

"Let you two show your connections and advantages from the aspects of casting, attracting investment, gathering manpower, etc. In fact, it is all for the best effect!"

"You must know that the script of "Tiger of Ginza" has many big scenes. And as Shuyu Group becomes more regular, it is impossible for the company to invest too many resources in a movie!"

Shuyou's current policy of producing a movie means that although it will invest a certain amount of money itself, it will also need to attract other producers from the market to invest.

Who told them they were not Naoki Nagayama or Shuichi Itou? ! Only they can use the company's money, because it contains their own money, and they are the owners of the tree friends!

Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyon both nodded to express their understanding.

"But Naoki-san, we have found many investors before, and we have also found many role candidates, but we haven't decided the winner yet. Otomo-san, Shuichi-san and Naoki-san seem to be dissatisfied."

Seeing the two people's incomprehensible expressions, Nagayama Naoki leaned gently against the window;

"This shows that you have not understood the considerations of the company's management."

"What we want is not to tell which one of you is better, but how to make "Tiger of Ginza" more successful!"

"I can only point you here, you can think about it slowly next!"

"."

After saying his pretentious words, Nagayama Naoki walked away coolly, leaving behind two guys who looked confused.

In fact, Naoki Nagayama doesn't care who directs it. If he needs resources, he can naturally provide them. But now that the company is moving in the normal direction, making a movie should involve everyone working together to make the movie more successful.

In fact, the resources of both of them are insufficient. Only who can realize that teamwork can make the movie more successful. That person is the one who thinks about the movie wholeheartedly and can truly be the person in charge.

Rather than a simple director role~

After Naoki Nagayama left, silence remained in the editing room.

After a long time, Kijima Xu said:

"Masataka, Naoki-san, do you mean that we need to think about how to make the movie a big hit?"

"Well, it should be how to make a successful commercial film so that the film can earn more box office!"

"What should we do?"

"That is to say, the movie must be beautiful, but the cost must be controlled, actors and other investments must be cost-effective, and the more publicity the better."

"But artistry must also be ensured. Grand prizes and other awards are also needed, right? If you win a prize, the popularity will be high and the reputation will be high."

"Um!"

".This can't be done by one person, right?"

"Well, a producer is responsible for the effects, and a director is responsible for the shooting."

"Huh? Aren't there just two of us?!"

"."

The two looked at each other again, and Kijima Xu said slowly:

"Why do I feel that we two were tricked by the executives?!"

"."

Komori Masataka didn't know how to reply for a moment.
