Tokyo bubble life

Tokyo in November was uncharacteristically hot, and I was still sweating in only a thin coat. I could go out in a windbreaker a few days ago.

The depressing coming of the storm makes the whole sky gloomy, even the wind is not blowing very much, and the landscape flowers and plants seem to show a feeling of depression, just like a drowsy summer afternoon.

However, the commercial districts in the city are as lively as ever, or the rising temperature has even driven people's desire to consume, and the pedestrians coming and going are more lively than ever.

In the Sanmai House in Ginza, Naoki Naoyama was drinking tea with Otomo Yoshimura. After drinking a cup of hot tea, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, but his whole body felt much refreshed.

"Naoki-san, it's really convenient to open this teahouse~"

Fangcun Dayu looked at the pedestrians on Ginza Street from the window while drinking tea, and felt that others were in a hurry, but he was drinking tea leisurely. For some reason, he felt a sense of independence from the world.

"Yeah, I often come here to drink tea, and I feel that my mood has improved a little~"

Fangcun Dayou felt very lofty when he heard this: "What a state of mind! I really feel that something is different~"

Naoki Yongshan took another sip: "Yes, I often come here to drink tea, and I find that I am no longer moved by money!"

"Huh? Why?"

"Otomo-san, the cup of tea you drank just now is worth 50,000 yen!" Naoki Naoyama watched as Otomo Yoshimura drank the tea in the cup and was about to refill his cup, and said simply.

Hearing these words, Dayu Fangcun shook the teapot in his hand, and the tea almost spilled out.

"50,000? One cup?"

I also looked at the small teapot in my hand, which looked like 5 or 6 cups, then "Naoki-san, this pot of tea actually costs 300,000 yen! What kind of tea is this?"

"It's top-notch Gyokuro, Otomo-san~"

Fangcun Dayou filled the teacup carefully, and asked again: "Isn't the price marked on such an expensive tea?"

"If you ask specifically, the store manager and the tea doctor will tell you the price." Naoki Yongshan took another sip, "But Otomo-san, people who come here to consume generally don't ask about the price."

Yes, on Ginza Street, there are still such obvious antique teahouses. Ordinary people only need to look at the turquoise cornices and roofs, and they should know that it is a color they cannot afford.

Therefore, Naoki Naoyama told Katsuo Yasui to buy only the top-quality tea, and all the others were replaced with tea from his own Qingshui tea garden. If customers asked about other teas, they would say that the specialty of this teahouse is the special Qingshui tea.

Fangcun Dayou nodded when he heard it, he was really unique. Picking up the teacup again and taking a sip, the tea seems to be more mellow.

At the same time, I couldn't help but think this way: "I just took a bite, at least 5,000 yen!"

The two of them came here not just to drink tea, but to meet the guests.

Hojo Tsukasa, the manga writer of "Cat's Eye", must have wanted to see who would buy the copyright of his manga, that's why we met today.

Before finishing a cup of tea, Masami Inada led a high-spirited young man over, and quickly went up to the second floor after asking at the front desk.

"Naoki-san, Otomo-san, this is Hojo Tsukasa, the author of "Cat's Eyes"." Masami Inada introduced, "Mr. Hojo, this is the director of Shuyou Films - Yoshimura Otomo; and the president - — Naoki Nagayama.”

"Meeting you for the first time." X3

After a simple meeting and greeting, Hojo Tsukasa and Inada Masami sat down,

"President Yongshan and Minister Fangcun, you are so rude to ask for a meeting today!" Tsukasa Hojo apologized first, because the copyright of the manga is actually on the side of "Weekly Shonen Jump", even if they can't see themselves, there is no problem.

"It's okay, I just want to meet the original author of the manga."

Hojo is similar to how he felt in interviews decades later. He also looks like a free and easy prodigal son with short ear-length hair. It seems that some people say that the protagonist of "City Hunter" will be himself in the future. It is really possible.

"Haha, I didn't expect that the person who bought the copyright of the TV adaptation of "Cat's Eye" would be such a young president." Tsukasa Hojo laughed heartily, "Can I ask President Yongshan why? Did you just want to buy the copyright? Could it be that President Yongshan is also a fan?"

At this time, "Cat's Eye" has already gained quite a reputation, but most production companies are still optimistic about the TV animation adaptation rights, and most companies are actually still waiting to see the TV series adaptation.

"I guess~" Naoki Naoyama replied vaguely. In fact, he didn't read manga very much. He only watched animation in his previous life, and he didn't watch the live-action TV series after that.

"I don't know Mr. Hojo is usually a groupie? Do you pay attention to idols?"

I was taken aback by Naoki Naoki's sudden change of subject: "Are you an idol? Let's pay attention occasionally."

"Last year, there was an idol girl group that rose suddenly and then fell silent - Wildcats. Does Mr. Hojo know?"

"Ah, Wildcats! Is that the girl group with cat ears as a symbol?!" Hojo Tsukasa remembered, "At that time, I hadn't drawn "Cat's Eyes". Speaking of which, the manga may have absorbed a little bit of the wildcats' sexiness." elements!"

Fangcun Dayu put down his teacup: "Is there such a fate?"

After hearing this, Hojo Division became a little curious: "Fate?"

Masami Inada helped explain: "Mr. Hojo, the Wildcats is an idol girl group created by Minister Yoshimura and President Nagayama. Currently, the three artists of the Wildcats are still working in our GG office."

"Huh?! Is that so?"

Hojo Division's interest suddenly increased. It was the first time to sell the copyright, and he just wanted to meet the buyer. He didn't expect to have such a connection with himself.

"However, Minister Fangcun, why did the Wildcats suddenly disappear? I was still sad for a long time."

Fangcun Dayou sighed: "There are many reasons."

Seeing the sad expression on Yoshimura Otomo's face again, Naoki Naoyama quickly took over the conversation,

"Actually, it's a bunch of power struggles in the entertainment industry, but it's all over now. There are still three members of the Wildcats who are still active in various movies and activities~"

"So ya." Hojo Division was also very interesting and stopped asking, "Then why did Shuyou Yinghua buy the TV series adaptation rights this time?"

"There is also a part of the reason for the wild cat group, but the real idea is that "Cat's Eye" has a bright future! If you shoot such a TV series, you will definitely be able to achieve good results!"

Naoki Yongshan is very clear about the future fame of this manga, and he is even more optimistic about the future "City Hunter".

"In the end, it was Mr. Hojo's strength that moved us."

"Hahaha~President Yongshan has won the award~" Although he has achieved good results in the manga industry, Hojo Tsukasa is still a young man at this time, and he is a little shy to be praised like this.

After having a common topic, several people began to chat about the adaptation of comics and other aspects. The fragrant Gyokuro tea was changed from one pot to another, and it was like a few old friends killing time with the refreshments. .

By the time the show ended, the tea leaves had been changed 3 times!

"Sang Zhishu spent more than one million yuan like this?" Fangcun Dayu remembered that a pot of tea costs 300,000 yuan!

Naoki Yongshan also twitched the corners of his mouth, and sighed silently in his heart. His state of mind is still not high enough, and he can still be swayed by mere money: "Yes. Including the pot we drank first, as well as refreshments and service fees, I guess Almost one and a half million!"

Otomo Fangcun was stunned: "One and a half million! One bedroom is gone! Naoki-san, what did we do after spending so much money!"

"Drink tea and chat"

Although he has made a lot of money in the past two years, Otomo Fangcun has not yet reached the point where he spends a lot of money. Even if his bank account is just a bunch of numbers, Naoki Naoyama feels a little distressed when he sees the amount he spent today.

"Why didn't Dayou-san stop me when I was drinking tea just now?"

"Did you have a good chat at that time?" Otomo Fangcun whispered something in his mouth (I didn't pay the money anyway~), but Naoki Yongshan didn't hear it.

"In short, fortunately, it is our own store, and we can only charge the cost price."

Fangcun Dayou's eyes lit up immediately: "Cost price? Then if I come to drink later."

Yong Shan stood up straight to dispel his thoughts: "The cost price is more than one million! It's really expensive on the tea!"

After dispelling Otomo Yoshimura's thoughts, Naoki Naoyama went on to say: "Otomo-san, let's go to Shueisha to sign the contract later, and about the adaptation of "Cat's Eye", please talk to the three members of the wild cat group~ "

Fangcun Dayou's heart warmed up. He knew that Naoki Yongshan had always known that he had a heart for the downfall of the wild cat group. This adaptation, it is very likely that the wild cat group will re-enter people's eyes, which is the greatest comfort for him.

"Hi!"

Naoki Naoyama, who spent more than one million yuan to drink tea in the morning, is not in the mood to go to any high-end restaurant for dinner at this time.

Anyway, I don’t have anything to do in the afternoon, so I might as well go back to Yamazakura and cook by myself, the ingredients in the refrigerator will go bad if I don’t wipe them out!

By the way, let Ying Taro also taste ordinary food. If you eat high-end dog food like this every day, you will probably forget the life of common people’s dogs. For children, you still have to let them suffer!

The casting of "Boys Over Flowers" is being negotiated. Mieko Harada has an appointment tomorrow, and she is also in contact with Johnny \u0026 Associates' youth team. It is estimated that there is no big problem.

It was also at this time that Johnny's Mary was in the office listening to the report of the manager Atsuhiro Ozawa,

"Is it the youth team?" Mary was puzzled, "Isn't it the Shibukaki team, or the Tahara trio?"

For the current Johnny's, the latter two teams are the main men's teams, both in terms of fame and resources. Generally speaking, if you are looking for a cooperation, you will find these two men's teams.

"Hi!" the manager Atsuhiro Ozawa replied, "Because it is the production company that has cooperated with the youth team before, Shuyou Yinghua, so this time we still found the youth team."

"Shuyou Yinghua? Ah, it's the one in "The Gas Station Robbery Incident"."

Mary remembered that since the movie was a big hit, the youth team has received a lot more announcements. Although they are still members of the backup dance troupe in Johnny's, it's just because there are no more resources to allocate.

"Hi, it should be that the last cooperation effect was better. It seems that Shuyou Yinghua is quite optimistic about the youth team." Atsuhiro Ozawa explained respectfully.

"Well, I have a headache."

Marie Kitagawa is a bit tangled. On the one hand, this drama is funded and produced by Fuji TV. It can be said that it has a high probability of becoming popular. It is a very good opportunity.

On the other hand, the seniority of Johnny's men's group is here, and there are Tahara Trio and Shibukaki team in front of them. These two men's groups just happened to be developing in multiple ways.

Besides, Kondo Masahiko and the others are also very well-behaved during this time

"Chunhong-jun, recommend Tianyuan Trio or Shibushizi to Shuyou Yinghua to try. The more famous boy group can have more exposure and attract more fans."

"This..." Atsuhiro Ozawa was a little hesitant. Generally speaking, the invitation for a certain artist would not be blocked by the office, unless the schedule is really unavailable, but this time the youth team has no other work at all. "Shuyou Yinghua is specially looking for the youth team."

"I know, but at present, the main promotion of the office is the Tahara Trio and the Shibukaki team!" Marie Kitagawa stared at Atsuhiro Ozawa, her eyes full of oppression, "By the way, Junhong-kun will not even do this Can't you?"

"Hi, I see."

Atsuhiro Ozawa sighed after leaving the office. Atsuhiro Ozawa is the agent in charge of the entire Johnny's reserve force.

The youth team has not officially debuted yet, nor is it equipped with a special agent. If there is a special agent, even Kitagawa Marie will not replace this kind of door-to-door invitation.

"The entertainment world is such a place~"

Atsuhiro Ozawa has more sympathy for the youth team. Generally speaking, the production company will definitely choose a more famous boy group.

It just so happened that Norihiro Higashiyama of the youth team saw Atsuhiro Ozawa: "Atsuhiro-san, what's the matter, did Mary-san agree?"

Naturally, the youth team already knew about the invitation, Naoki Naoyama had already greeted them in advance,

"Ah, Marisan said that I have to think about it again." Atsuhiro Ozawa could only say vaguely, "Because of salary and other considerations, I will continue to communicate with Director Fangcun of Shuyou Films."

"Huh? Do you still want to communicate?" Nishikori Kazuki was a little disappointed, thinking he had a good chance.

And Higashiyama Norizhi saw the perfunctory expression on Ozawa Junhong's face, so he stopped Nishikori Kazuki and Uedo Katsuhide from asking: "Arigado, Junhiro-san, please excuse me."

"Yeah, just wait for the news!"

After the figure of Atsuhiro Ozawa disappeared, Noriyuki Higashiyama's expression became unattractive: "It seems that the opportunity to act has changed."

Katsuhide Uedao was very puzzled: "Aren't you still communicating?"

"Generally, the backup trainees have this kind of opportunity, and the office will not ask for it. Just like when we were filming "The Gas Station Robbery Incident", Naoki-san just raised it, and our office agreed. Yes. This time it may be that our firm wants to give the opportunity to others."

"How could this be!" Nishikori Yiqing was shocked.

"Let's go back and ask Naoki-san again."

Dongshan Jizhi was very indignant, but he also knew that the firm's decision cannot be violated, at least for newcomers like them.

"I can only look at Naoki-san."

In the staff dormitory of GG office,

When there is no announcement, the three members of the wild cat group usually go shopping, watch movies, etc., and probably come back to live in the staff dormitory at night.

After all, as artists, their salary is higher than that of migrant workers of the same age, especially in Shuyou Filming, which is not short of money. The previous few films they participated in also included big red envelopes.

Coupled with the existence of the lifetime employment system, even if there are not many jobs, several people can stay in the company with peace of mind.

Even Miguna Ohno, who is in charge of the facade, has already considered it. When there are really no job opportunities, the big deal is to get married and retire~

That evening, when they returned to the dormitory, they saw Dayou Fangcun sitting in the public living room,

"Otomo-san, why are you here? Ah, did you come to see us?" Akiyama Feisa was a little nervous when she saw it. Isn't Masami Inata usually the one who comes to see you? Did you actually let your boss wait in the living room this time?

Mikina Ohno also hurriedly asked: "Otomo-san, have you been waiting for a long time?"

Said to go to make tea.

When Fangcun Dayou saw that she was about to make tea, he quickly stopped her. The tea she drank in the morning has not been digested yet.

"You don't need to make tea, Mihuna-chan. I came here to tell you something!"

"Sure enough, are we going to retire?"

Aya Katagiri sighed for a while. In her opinion, it must be a big deal for the big boss to come to inform directly. In addition, the three of them have no jobs recently, so they can only be forced to retire.

Fangcun Dayou was very speechless: "What are you thinking! It's a good thing!"

"Good thing?" X3

"Yes, we have bought the TV adaptation rights of the "Cat's Eye" manga, and are currently looking for someone to write the script, and we expect to start filming early next year." Fangcun Dayu looked at the three of them, "The heroine If so, it's the three of you."

"Eh?!" "Boomni" and "Arigado". The three members of the wild cat group were very happy, and Ayuki Katagiri, who was the most active, even started to pull Akiyama Feisha in circles.

Fangcun Dayou saw that several people could not calm down for a short time, so he could only tell: "You guys have to read the comics carefully during this time, and then make some preparations according to the prototype of the comics."

"Meihui Nasan, my hair is still a bit short now, I have to prepare for long hair and make it into big waves; Feisa-chan, I can prepare for a long black and straight look; Saizhi-chan needs to be shorter."

In the end, Fangcun Dayou secretly looked around the figures of the three of them: "There is a little more at the end!"

"Nani?" The three members of the wild cat group stopped to look at Fangcun Dayu,

It made him a little embarrassed: "Ahem, Arnold, according to the comics, it seems that when shooting, it seems that leather night clothes should be used to show the figures of the three heroines. The three of you should manage it well during the end of the year. Take a look at your figure. It's a little thinner now"

After finishing speaking, Otomo Fangcun walked away quickly. There was no way, the three sisters in the comics were in good shape!

"."

After the dormitory was quiet for a while, Concubine Akiyama burst out laughing first,

"Hahaha, is Otomo-san actually embarrassed?"

"Haha, that's right!"

"Obviously she wore a leather jacket when she first debuted!"

The three who were born in photo magazines have no pressure to show their sex appeal at all.
