Tokyo bubble life

As a film producer, it is not good to be absent from work the next day.

But Naoki Yongshan didn't go to the set this morning, he was going to Xiaoxiaoguan to sign the contract.

Last night, Kuniji Morikawa called and said that the royalties given by Shokokan are 12%, and if more than 500,000 copies are printed, the royalties will rise to 20%, which is already the level of a professional writer .

In the end, it also promised to print 100,000 copies for the first time, so the first royalties will be 12 million.

Such a price is actually not very interesting to Naoki Naoyama, because there are still 800 million in the bank account, and it is still increasing. In and out are just changes in numbers.

But then again, who wouldn't be happy if there was money to be made?

"Lingxi-san, good morning, I'm here again~" Naoki Naoyama greeted the glasses lady at the front desk in the headquarters building of the Xiaoshokan, "There is also Mitsuko-san~"

"Hi, good morning Naoki-sensei, I'm here to find editor Morikawa, please come with me!"

Because it was a contract, Kuniji Morikawa and Rei Nozawa had already explained the time in advance. At this time, it is good to bring the person directly to the conference room. By the way, I asked Mitsuko Nishihara to notify the editor to come down.

"Naoki-san, I heard that another novel is about to be signed? It's amazing!" While pouring tea for Naoki Yongshan, he asked, "What kind of novel is it?"

"Hi, it's a youth novel called "Love Letter"."

""Love Letter"? Just hearing the name of this novel makes me feel very attractive." Nozawa Lingxi looked forward to it, "When it comes out in print, I must grab a copy!"

"Hahaha, thank you Ling Xisang for your support."

Naoki Yongshan responded with a smile, and was about to continue chatting.

At this time, Kuniji Morikawa had come over, with some contract documents in his hand,

"Naoki-san, you are here." Kuniji Morikawa said in a hurry, "All the documents and materials have been written, please take a look."

"Hey, I'm sorry, then."

After all, when it comes to things like signing a contract, you still have to take a closer look. However, there is nothing wrong with the standard contract, the royalty share, and the number of copies for the first publication.

"Bunji-san, there's nothing wrong with it." While talking, Naoki Yongshan signed his name and stamped his own seal.

Kuniji Morikawa put away the contract and asked Reiki Nozawa to send it to the office for stamping.

"Naoki-san, please wait for a while, stamped and delivered right away. Speaking of which, according to the usual practice, do you want to have lunch together at noon today?"

It is customary for the editor to invite the author to have a meal after signing the contract, but it is only before 9 o'clock, so it is indeed a bit early for lunch.

"Then let's not do it for now, let's have dinner together when the next time we meet to confirm the printed template." Naoki Yongshan declined with a smile, "I will go to the studio later."

"Ah, is Naoki-san making a movie?" Kuniji Morikawa started chatting with him, "I almost forgot that Naoki-san is still a movie star."

"Haha, I won't be in this movie."

The two chatted for a while, and Naoki Yongshan did not say goodbye until the contract was sent back. Kuniji Morikawa sent the person to the door and went back when he saw Naoki Yongshan driving.

Ying Taro was already impatient in the car, and yelled at Naoki Nagayama a few times, meaning why did the shit shovel officer leave my dog ​​in the car?

"Didn't you go there last time? There's nothing interesting in the elementary school?" Naoki Yongshan comforted him while driving, "And it's only 20 minutes, and you can help me watch the car while in the car~"

"Wow woof woof! woof!" (Why are you sitting comfortably in the office when I have to stay in the car!)

"This is a convertible sports car! Such a high-end car, comfortable leather chair, don't you feel uncomfortable lying on your stomach? Do you have to sit on the ground?"

"Wow woof." (still a little comfortable)

While the two guys were bickering with each other, the car had already driven onto the main road, and under the white clouds in the sky, drove towards Ueno along the bright summer scenery.

On the set, Shuichi Ido is directing the filming together with Masataka Komori, the professor played by Shinichi Chiba is playing with Hachiko, who is half-aged, while the wife played by Kananko Higuchi and the daughter played by Nana Okada are watching from the sidelines.

"Father is so kind to Hachiko!" Okada Nana was a little jealous, "I never played with me like this when I was young."

"Haha, are you jealous of puppies?" Higuchi Kananko laughed beside him, "They are already married!"

"What~" The mother and daughter laughed like this.

After Naoki Naoyama arrived, he didn't bother to disturb the filming, and brought Etaro to the logistics area. There were several actors' agents and assistants gathered here, and they also wanted to wait with the actors.

Fangcun Dayu was talking to them and pointing at the materials.

Naoki Naoyama and a group of people in the industry nodded in a friendly manner. The Japanese entertainment industry is so big, and everyone can see each other without looking up. It is very important to have a good relationship.

"Otomo-san, have you captured the daily routine of playing with the puppy yet?" He took a bottle of water and drank it, "I remember there is no special line in this paragraph, right?"

Otomo Fangcun was introducing a brochure, and nodded upon hearing the words: "Mr. Chiba Shinichi is playing freely, but he really gets along well with Hachiko."

"Yes, it was right to choose actors based on fate." Naoki Yongshan saw the brochure next to Otomo Fangcun, "Otomo-san, what are you looking at?"

"Ah, it's the promotional materials for Ito Junko's second single, including brochures, leaflets, etc. I plan to distribute them to fans during the offline performance."

"Is Junko-san going to participate in offline activities too?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Naoki Naoyama knew that he had asked a stupid question, because Otomo Fangcun's face suddenly became helpless.

"Naoki-san, at least take care of your idol! Junko-san has participated in offline activities many times, hasn't he?"

Naoki Yongshan laughed and wanted to change the subject:

"Hahaha, I know Akina Nakamori always participates in offline events, so I just asked."

"Akina Nakamori?" This old manager has always been very familiar with the troubles of idol groups, "It is said that the debut song is not well evaluated by the media, so it is always going around in various cities and promoting it offline."

"Hey, that's it. She is a new debut idol who is closer to fans than other idols."

Otomo Fangcun went on to say: "I heard that the feedback from fans is very good, a newcomer with great potential."

"By the way, she has been to your house"

Naoki Yongshan covered Otomo Fangcun's mouth! Leaning into his ear and growling in a low voice:

"Otomo-san, don't you look at the occasion when you speak? The occasion!!"

The surrounding circle is full of brokers and people in the entertainment industry. If you revealed this scandal today, the entire entertainment industry will know about it tomorrow!

Naoki Yongshan felt that his expression must be terrible, because Otomo-san was about to roll his eyes!

Under the curious eyes around him, Otomo Fangcun managed to pull down Naoki Yongshan's grip with both hands, gasping for breath:

"Naoki Naoyama! Are you going to murder?"

And the guy who just attempted murder washed his hands with mineral water in disgust, then wiped his hands with a napkin: "Who told you to talk nonsense!"

"I'm just. just" speechless now.

In the end, the arrogant middle-aged man awkwardly changed the subject,

"Naoki-san, did the contract signed in the morning go well?"

"Of course, 12% of the royalties will be shared, and 100,000 copies will be printed for the first time."

"Eh? Is the publishing house so optimistic about this novel?" Fangcun Otomo was a little surprised, this condition is already a well-known professional writer.

"You'll know when it's published! I think it's going to be a bestseller!"

The previous "Summer の Court" belonged to children's literature, and it was purchased by institutions or parents to buy it for children, but this youth novel, boys and girls with a little pocket money, and even working young people will be interested.

"Then I'll wait and see."

They were chatting here, while Yi Tangxiu, who had finished shooting the scene over there, looked over and said,

"Naoki-san, you are here, what are you doing hiding behind!"

"Haha, I'm not afraid of disturbing the director-san's filming." After untying Etaro and letting him play with the two remaining Hachikos, Naoki Naoyama came behind the camera.

"How was the filming going today?"

"It's hard to say." Itou Shuichi was a little worried, "The interaction between the hero and Hachiko is very happy, but it's rather messy and scattered, not organized."

"Stupid tape, this most natural look may be the most touching." Naoki Naoyama thought it didn't matter, "There will be editing later."

In the next shoot, the half-grown Hachiko was replaced by a fully grown Hachiko. Chiba Shinichi changed his clothes and reapplied makeup, showing a different timeline,

The filming location is not limited to the old house. The film crew has already stepped on it, leaving the imprint of Hachiko and his master on the path outside the yard, in the garden, and between the old lanes.

It was not until the shooting in the morning that Naoki Yongshan followed the film crew back to the old house on the set.

This old house is well maintained and can be used all the time. At noon, in addition to the fixed set lunch, everyone also boiled a pot of thick soup in the kitchen of the old house for extra meals for the film crew. Even the three Hachiko and Yutaro both got a big bone.

Naoki Naoyama saw Kanako Tonkaku and Nana Okada when they were eating, they were sitting together talking and laughing again, so he walked over:

"But Nanzi-san, how come you and Okada-san have such a good relationship in just two days?"

But Nanzi said with a smile: "Girls' friendship is so strange. Naoki-san should have been very popular with girls when he was a child. Why don't you even know this?"

"Very popular? Who told you that?" Looking back on the experience of the two lifetimes, he was not considered a popular character when he was studying. "I was called 'Thin Wood' by girls when I was young."

Okada Nana was surprised: "Nongshan-san? Impossible?"

Looking at the tall and handsome young man in front of him openly and honestly, Nana Okada couldn't believe it, "Are all the female students in the school looking so high?"

Naoki Yongshan felt itchy all over his body when he was looked at: "Okada-san, don't look at me like that. Like that wretched uncle over there."

Turning his head and pointing, Fangcun Dayou, who was watching from the other side while eating, looked at him blankly.

But Nanzi quickly swallowed the food in his mouth: "Hahaha, Nana-chan, it's still possible. Boys usually change a lot between high school and college."

Okada Nana glanced again, and said in a low voice, "It's impossible to suddenly become a handsome guy from 'wood'."

Naoki Naoyama is a bit speechless. He grew taller very quickly in high school, didn’t like sports, and ate very little, so he became a skinny and fragile image. Coupled with his dull personality, he got the "fine wood" " title.

Afterwards, I worked part-time, and after traveling through the gym, I returned to normal, and my appearance finally became fuller.

The three of them chatted about interesting things while eating, only to find out that Nana Okada hadn't finished high school either, and among the three, Kanako Higuchi had the highest education.

Speaking of which, Japanese idols almost all made their debut at an early age and entered the society early!

The weather in the evening suddenly turned gloomy, and summer thunderstorms seemed to be staged ahead of schedule.

"Shuichi-san, look at the weather, is the shooting plan going to be changed?" Masataka Komori walked to the side and asked. In the afternoon, he filmed how the professor and the dog get along in the house. Several Hachikos were a little uncooperative. It took a lot of time.

And Shuichi Yitang also seemed a little frustrated: "Since the weather is like this, there is nothing we can do about it."

The road surface and other conditions after rain are not suitable for shooting. When shooting outdoors, I actually hate such things the most.

Naoki Yongshan looked at the thick clouds and suddenly thought:

"Xiu Yisang, advance the rainy night scene."

"Rainy night? Oh, oh, the scene of taking care of Hachiko." Yi Tangxiu looked at the sky, although it was just evening, but the light was indeed very dark, it could be considered a rainy night.

"Then try it."

Chiba Shinichi went to change his clothes again, and the adult Hachiko was dragged to the dog house in the yard. When the rainstorm poured down, the professor would take him back from the house in the rain.

Naoki Yongshan called Masataka Komori: "Mr. Masataka."

"Naoki-san, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Zheng Xiao, please find someone to connect a water pipe on the second floor." Naoki Yongshan said, "Maybe the wind and rain will not be strong enough, and some will need to be added manually."

"Hi!"

I don't know if I understood, but the adult Hachiko who was in the dog house barked at Naoki Nagayama several times,

It seems to say "be a person!"

Summer thunderstorms usually come and go quickly, but today is different, until Naoki Nagayama returned to Sanzakura-in, the rain did not stop.

When filming at night, Hachiko and Chiba Shinichi were exposed to the rain several times, changing clothes, drying off, getting wet again, changing clothes and drying off again.

During filming, Shuichi Itou had very high requirements.

After returning to the house with Euntaro, both guys got wet,

"Ha, Utaro, it looks like we are the same as Hachiko."

Naoki Nagayama pushed Yutaro into the bathtub, but the half-grown Yutaro couldn't resist at all, he could only scream aggrieved, and was finally rubbed.
