Tokyo bubble life

After another day of hard work, Nagayama Naoki dismissed the crew when night fell.

But before it was time to take a break, he took the filming materials all the way to Shuyu's editing room, and took Matsuo Souo and Nishimoto Banyuki to edit "Tokyo Love Story".

After all, if you are going abroad for a week, you must first ensure that the TV series cannot be delayed. Just like writing, how can you do it without saving the manuscript?

"Munei-kun and Nishimoto-kun, send the materials to the editing room first!"

"Hi!" X2

When we came to Shuyou, there were still some employees working overtime in the building, which surprised Naoki Nagayama. Could it be that Neon's overtime culture has slowly begun to invade Shuyou? !

You must know that when he first founded Shuyou, he made up his mind not to let the culture of 996 and 007 sprout in Shuyou!

I was exhausted in my previous life, so be a good person in this life and don’t let your employees suffer the same fate!

"Riko-chan, Jieda-chan?"

Nagayama Naoki came to the general affairs department with lights on, which is one of the places where overtime work is done.

"Why are you still working overtime?"

"Ah, Naoki-san!"

When Hayano Riko and Ochiai Yoe saw Nagayama Naoki appear, they immediately stood up to say hello.

"Why are you here so late?"

"I'm going to edit a TV series and I haven't told you yet. What are you doing working overtime so late at night?"

Riko Hayano showed the document in her hand to Naoki Nagayama:

"Before Otomo-san said that our administrative system needs to be systematically upgraded. Let us look for the systems of foreign companies to learn from them, and then refer to their management trainees to create a management trainee system for Shuyou."

"Then we need to hold a recruitment event as soon as possible so that we can recruit outstanding talents from university graduates. We have been busy with this for the past few days."

"."

Nagayama Naoki didn't know what to say for a moment, it was all his own fault!

It was me who told Yoshimura Otomo about management training. I didn’t expect that my casual idea would keep the people in the General Affairs Department busy so late.

Sure enough, the boss opened his mouth and his subordinates ran away and broke their legs!

At this moment, Ochiai Yosoe suddenly thought of something and took out an envelope from the drawer:

"Naoki-san, your flight ticket has been purchased, and you also have the Hong Kong dollars exchanged. I originally wanted to give it to Naoki-san tomorrow, as well as the subsequent hotel, reception and translation to Hong Kong, which have also been arranged!"

Nagayama Naoki took the envelope, checked it briefly and nodded:

".Thank you Ji Zhi-chan~"

"It's nothing, it's all part of the job."

Ochiai Kitae said with a smile.

Hearing this, Naoki Nagayama felt even more ashamed.

"If you are working overtime for this, why are there still many people working overtime in other departments in the building?" Naoki Nagayama continued to ask.

"They, the people at the Creative Center said that my mind is clearer at night."

"The planning department is planning for the cherry blossom season."

"The public relations department is working on a promotional plan for "Tiger of Ginza"

"Everyone is very motivated after seeing Naoki-san working so hard these days!" Riko Hayano also said with a smile, "They all say that we should follow Naoki-san's example!"

"."

Naoki Nagayama felt unspeakable emotion when he heard that several departments of Shuyou were working overtime for various reasons.

Obviously he didn't want to be involved in it, but why did he make the atmosphere in the company become involved? !

"Is Otomo-san still in the office?"

"Hi!"

Nagayama Naoki finally decided to go upstairs and have a chat with Fangcun Daiyu, don't let the employees work so hard.

But when I knocked on the office door, I found Otomo Yoshimura leisurely reading the evening newspaper, not looking like he was working overtime at all.

"Otomo-san? What are you doing?"

"Ah, today's evening news said that Seiko Matsuda is pregnant with a daughter." Yoshimura Otomo closed the newspaper and talked about today's hot news, "Reporters are so powerful, they actually knew it so early!"

"." Naoki Nagayama squinted his eyes, "Isn't it because Otomo-san stayed in the company to work overtime?"

"Working overtime? I'm waiting for the wine party in the evening!" Yoshimura Otomo shook his head, "The sales manager of Dongho invited me to drink. He also brought people from the office."

"."

Sure enough, the boss and the employees have different reasons for staying in the company!

"Naoki-san, why are you coming to the company so late?"

"Edit the next episode of "Tokyo Love Story" and save it as a manuscript." Naoki Nagayama sat on the sofa and poured himself a cup of tea. "I can't be away, so just stop updating for a week!"

"."

Yoshimura Otomo shook his shoulders. It doesn't matter if the TV series is delayed. When it happens to be a festival or special season, the audience can accept it.

"Naoki-san, when will you go to Hong Kong?"

"The day after tomorrow and tomorrow will be enough to finish editing the TV series."

Yoshimura Otomo sat next to Nagayama Naoki:

"Naoki-san is going to meet some actors this time? Are you ready?"

"Haha, there is no fixed number."

Naoki Nagayama smiled and said that he went to Hong Kong this time out of sudden interest and wanted to take a look. As for the actors, he had asked Fuji TV to contact his acquaintances at TVB in Hong Kong and meet them through the introduction there. candidates

"But we will definitely be able to find a suitable actor~"

"That's the best." Yoshimura Otomo hesitated for a moment, then said, "Naoki-san, there are many voices in the entertainment industry saying that you don't like neon actors."

"Eh?"

"It's obvious that there are so many male artists in Neon, but you have to go to Hong Kong to find them."

What domestic flowers are as fragrant as wild flowers!

"It must be spreading among several artist agencies!" Nagayama Naoki didn't mind at all.

Neon's artist agency has an unspoken rule. If they want to use their popular artists, they must find roles in movies or TV series to make other artists in the agency popular.

Everyone knows that Naoki Nagayama's movie will definitely make the protagonist famous, and everyone is gearing up to get the opportunity, but Naoki Nagayama would rather look abroad than at home, which makes people very defensive. !

"Yes. There are some voices from the Burning and Watanabe factions." Yoshimura Otomo said, "The person who invited me to drink today must also be trying to persuade~"

Everyone in the entertainment industry knows that Nagayama Naoki has never participated in activities within the industry, so most people want to start with Yoshimura Otomo and Itou Shuichi.

"Haha, if it weren't for Otomo-san and Shuichi-san, I would be annoyed to death by these trivial matters!"

Nagayama Naoki raised his tea cup and expressed his gratitude to Yoshimura Otomo with tea instead of wine.

"Otomo-san, in fact, some of the supporting roles in "Tiger of Ginza" can be given out at my discretion. I only focus on the male protagonist."

"Well, with Naoki-san's words, I feel a lot more relaxed."

Fangcun Dayou smiled and said,

"If they don't drink and get down today, they can't get anything from me!"

"Hahaha~"

After chatting in the office for a while, Naoki Nagayama returned to the editing room and began to immerse himself in the editing industry. It was not until late at night that he returned to Yamazakuin

Another day passes in the blink of an eye.

Nagayama Akina, who was pregnant with Rokko, showed the virtuousness of a wife when her husband was about to travel.

Even though she had a big belly, she carefully put the things Naoki Nagayama needed for going abroad one by one into her suitcase.

"There's no need for sunscreen."

Naoki Nagayama looked at the packed suitcases and felt helpless.

"And umbrellas."

He said to Akina:

"Actually, if a man goes on a business trip, he only needs to bring two changes of clothes. The rest can be bought~"

Nagayama Naoki has always believed that the most important thing when traveling on business is to bring money

In fact, as long as you have money, all you really need to bring with you is your close-fitting clothing. After all, you will eat, drink and live in a luxury hotel, and the service quality may be better than at home.

"How can that be done? There are many things I'm not used to!"

Ming Cai, who often performs in various cities, is very persistent.

"I don't know if there are any suitable shops in Hong Kong. Is the public security good?"

"Hong Kong is very prosperous." Naoki Nagayama understood that his wife was concerned and held her in his arms to comfort her. "It is a port city and a financial center. It is very safe!"

"Hmm"

These days, due to the obstacles in the dissemination of information, Akina's impression of Hong Kong probably comes from Jackie Chan's movies. In Jackie Chan's movies, Hong Kong always has gangs, gunfights, and drag racing from time to time.

To Ming Cai, Hong Kong was probably like a town with poor security, and she was even a little worried about whether her husband would be robbed.

After hugging her for a while, Akina felt at ease again, and then as if she thought of something, she stared at Nagayama Naoki with fierce eyes:

"By the way, I saw from the movie that there are many street girls in Hong Kong who are very open about disco and so on. Naoki-san has passed by, but be careful!"

"."

Nagayama Naoki does have the idea of ​​​​experience a Hong Kong dance hall, but in front of his wife, naturally:

"Akina! What are you thinking? I'm here to do business! I'm not here to play!"

".Hmm man"

"Akina, you have to have confidence in me!"

"."

Seeing Akina start stuffing things into the suitcase again, Nagayama Naoki became smarter this time and didn't say anything, just silently helping to hand over the things.

Hong Kong in 1986~

It is a city where poverty and wealth coexist, where the past and the future intersect.

The double-decker buses on the streets of Wan Chai were swaying, full of pedestrians, with suits and work clothes sitting together for sightseeing; the racecourse in Causeway Bay next to it was green and crowded with gamblers buying horses, and the rich and poor stood there. Cheering together.

The beach in Victoria Harbor is clean and tidy, the high-rise buildings in Central are lined up in rows, the lights in Tsim Sha Tsui are brightly lit at night, and next to it is the messy Yau Ma Tei, with tube houses and shantytowns closely adjacent to each other.

The prosperous commercial street is crowded with taxis with red lights on, filled with white-collar workers in suits and business bags; big bosses wearing windbreakers and lighting cigars are in the back of luxury cars; they seem to be rubbing shoulders with the street. Heel-wiping passers-by wearing old shirts are not in the same world.

After getting off the plane at Kai Tak Airport, Naoki Nagayama got into the Rolls-Royce Phantom welcome car and headed towards the Peninsula Hotel under the leadership of the pick-up staff.

"Mr. Nagayama, Mr. Komori and Mr. Kijima, this time we have booked the Peninsula Hotel, which is a high-end hotel with a history of more than 50 years."

The translator and driver named Wu Qiwen introduced Naoki Nagayama, Masataka Komori and Kyū Kijima,

“Right next to Victoria Harbor”

"Uh-huh."

Nagayama Naoki nodded absently. The translator thought that Nagayama Naoki and the others did not know much about Hong Kong, so he introduced the history of the Peninsula Hotel to the three of them in Japanese.

In this era, Cantonese and English were still spoken in Hong Kong. Naoki Nagayama's Cantonese was average, but there was no problem with ordinary conversations.

Looking outside in the car, I saw this familiar yet unfamiliar scene~

While the translator was still talking, Naoki Nagayama saw a huge city slowly sliding past the right side of the car window. He immediately became interested, pointed there and said to Wu Qiwen:

"That's the Kowloon Walled City, right?! I heard there are a lot of gangs."

Wu Qiwen, who was driving, glanced at it, nodded subconsciously and replied in Cantonese:

"Yes. Kowloon Walled City is a three-no-no zone and very chaotic."

Then he realized that Naoki Nagayama, who was sitting in the back row, was actually talking to him in Cantonese!

"Naoki-san, do you know Cantonese?"

"A little bit of the level of daily conversation." Naoki Nagayama nodded.

"That's really awesome!"

Wu Qiwen felt that his voice was a little dry

When I was waiting to pick someone up at the airport, I complained a lot about "Japs" and "GA guys" to acquaintances at the airport.

I wonder if Nagayama Naoki heard it!

"In this business, you have to be exposed to various cultures!" Naoki Nagayama said with a smile.

His eyes are still looking at the Kowloon Walled City. This legendary walled city will be used by many people as a prototype for cyber element creation in the future. It is also very strange now.

After sitting in the car and passing through the crowded traffic, looking at the streets full of cultural blends, the group finally arrived at the Peninsula Hotel.

The hotel doorman wearing a white uniform and hat opened the glass door, enthusiastically helped carry the luggage, and led the group to check in~

The hotel combines classicism and elegance, with unique Baroque-style buildings and decorations, and luxurious crystal lanterns. It is luxurious and grand, and it deserves the reputation of the "Lady of the Far East"

After checking in, the group finally arrived at their suite. Wu Qiwen said very respectfully:

"Naoki-san has been on a plane for such a long time. He must be very tired along the way. Please take a good rest today~"

"Tomorrow morning I will be waiting in the lobby to take you to TVB to talk about business. Then we will visit Hong Kong. I have already planned the itinerary and will definitely let everyone know the charm of Hong Kong!"

In a strange city, there are not many people who speak Japanese in Hong Kong. Wu Qiwen is not worried about a few people going out casually~

"Okay, please."

Nagayama Naoki nodded and said goodbye to Wu Qiwen.

Then he turned around and returned to his suite, facing the bay of Victoria Harbor. The afternoon sun was warm and the view of the azure sea outside the window was heart-wrenching.

A little further away, there are bustling commercial streets, shopping malls with people coming and going, and streets full of fireworks.

It's a pity that I can only stand in the hotel and take a look, and I can't experience it in person.

"I'm home now!"

Naoki Nagayama felt a little emotional. He stood silently in front of the window and admired it for a while, then suddenly slapped his thigh:

“I don’t need an interpreter to take me out!

I can go shopping by myself! No need for a translator! "

After thinking of this, Naoki Nagayama immediately called the front desk, called a taxi, then took his passport and wallet, and happily walked towards Hong Kong outside the Peninsula Hotel

As for Masataka Komori and Kyon Kijima in the other room?

Who are these two? I don’t know him, I’m not familiar with him!
