Chapter 1049 1058, Animation Is Still a Blue Ocean!!
Naoki Nagayama, a high-end restaurant, has been to it many times, but Japanese high-end restaurants focus on the original taste, so they mainly focus on ingredients.
The freshest salmon, sturgeon roe, freshly fished seafood, etc.
In fact, as long as you buy good ingredients and cut or steam them at home, it will not be much different from what you make in a restaurant. When eating here, the main thing is to pursue a good presentation and environment~
When Naoki Nagayama came to the restaurant, Yasushi Akimoto and Kotaro Ogata, the director of TBS, were already there, as well as Mitsuhiro Yoshioka, the head of the department whom he had met.
"Naoki-san!"
After the waiter brought the person in, Akimoto Yasushi immediately stood up to welcome him.
"You're here! Sit down, sit down."
"Akimoto-san!" Nagayama Naoki greeted with a smile, and then saw Mitsuhiro Yoshioka on the side, "Mr. Yoshioka, long time no see."
"Naoki-san hasn't visited our TBS for a long time!"
Mitsuhiro Yoshioka smiled and introduced Naoki Nagayama,
"Naoki-san, this is our TBS director, Ogata Kotaro!"
Seeing this impressive-looking director, Naoki Nagayama greeted him according to the rules:
"First meeting. I am Naoki Nagayama!"
"This is the first time we meet. I am Kotaro Ogata."
After the two exchanged business cards, they were officially married. Director Ogata was very enthusiastic:
"What are Naoki-san busy with recently?"
"Ah, speaking of which, I have been at home recently, accompanying my wife as she prepares for delivery." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Occasionally I write something or something."
Mitsuhiro Yoshioka ignored his words about accompanying his wife during childbirth. In the eyes of their upper class, spending time with his wife was nothing more than an excuse.
How can a successful neon man do such a thing as staying at home and spending time with his family? There is a whole world outside waiting for you to capture it!
So he simply praised the second half and said:
"Naoki-san is a great writer, he must be writing a new work."
"Haha, it's a new work, some inspiration, and some drawing materials."
Akimoto Yasushi helped pour the wine and picked up the topic:
"Is Naoki-san going to draw comics? It is rumored that Shuyou is going to expand into the animation industry?"
"Yes. They are already recruiting people." Mitsuhiro Yoshioka also asked curiously, and explained to the station director Kotaro Ogata, "There was a discussion in the industry a few days ago whether Shuyou has really adjusted its direction. , no more movies.”
Kotaro Ogata raised his glass and took a sip, then looked at the young man in front of him:
"Naoki-san must have a plan."
"Hahaha, Shuyou does have the idea to expand into the animation industry with comics, animated adaptations, animated movies, and peripherals."
Nagayama Naoki didn't mean to hide it, he said it openly,
"The animation-related industry is a blue ocean, and the output value may be higher than that of the film industry in the future!"
"Hahaha, Naoki-san, you are just kidding~" Mitsuhiro Yoshioka shook his head, "Animation is just something for children, how can it be higher than the film industry!"
In this era, when animation and related industries were still in their infancy, the film industry was already at its peak. It was impossible for anyone to think that children like animation would love more than movies.
But Nagayama Naoki knows that after the explosion of information technology, the animation industry in various countries around the world will catch up!
What's more, animation movies will take a big bite out of the film industry~
Even though he likes watching anime, Akimoto Yasushi doesn't really believe that anime will be more profitable than movies, but he just laughs along with it.
On the other hand, TBS director Kotaro Ogata was thoughtful:
"Is Naoki-san already planning for the animation industry?"
"I can only say that I just want to try anime for the time being~" Nagayama Naoki responded with a smile, "It's just my own little willfulness~"
"Hahaha, geniuses always have a far-sighted vision than ordinary people like us~"
Director Kotaro Ogata smiled and said to Mitsuhiro Yoshioka next to him,
"The current Shuyou Group, under the leadership of Naoki-san, is already one of the top companies in the film industry. Maybe Shuyou will become a pan-entertainment giant spanning movies and animation in the future!"
"Yes, yes. The future will definitely be bright!" Mitsuhiro Yoshioka agreed.
"Director Ogata is so good at talking!"
Nagayama Naoki also laughed. If you can speak, you should speak more!
For a time, the room was filled with joy and harmony.
After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Mitsuhiro Yoshioka started to talk about the business at the suggestion of the director:
"Naoki-san, preparations for this year's Shuyu Tokyo International Film Festival have already begun, right?!"
"Yes. The preparatory committee is already sorting out the regulations." Naoki Nagayama nodded, "The last time it was held was very successful, and this time I want to make it more standardized so that it can be held one after another."
"There must be rules and regulations." Mitsuhiro Yoshioka nodded repeatedly, "The last time our TV station broadcast the promotion, we coordinated with other TV stations for a long time. If there are rules and regulations, it will definitely be smoother."
"That's right! If it can be implemented according to the system, the publicity effect will be better."
Akimoto Yasushi helped,
"Naoki-san, are there any rules for this broadcast?"
"."
Looking at the few foxes in the room, Nagayama Naoki shook his head in his mind. Wasn't that why he came here? Now he still acts like he doesn't know anything, just waiting for others to say something.
Selling the broadcasting rights to Fuji Electric Taiwan in exchange for Shuyou's purchase of the TV station's shares is considered a behind-the-scenes operation, and it is inconvenient to mention it openly.
Is this the so-called art of negotiation? The so-called person who speaks first is weak?
Naoki Nagayama hates this the most. This is why he doesn't like to attend social gatherings with other people. Everyone has seven or eight hundred thoughts in their heart. Every word seems to have other meanings hidden in it, and they all need to be thought about carefully. .
Are you annoyed?
"Ah, the broadcasting rights for this year have been given to Fuji TV~"
Naoki Nagayama flipped the table and said it directly,
"Because we need support during the first term, on behalf of the executive committee, I have authorized it to Fuji TV in exchange for the opportunity to purchase shares of Fuji TV."
"."X3
The other three people looked at Nagayama Naoki in surprise, not expecting him to be so honest.
Shouldn't this kind of private transaction abide by the three no's principle, which means no admission, no refutation, and no commitment? !
"But, selling the broadcast rights," Ogata Kotaro couldn't help it, "Shouldn't the committee discuss it collectively?"
Seeing the three people stop in surprise, Nagayama Naoki laughed and continued to put the seafood in his mouth:
"Didn't I say that there was no charter at all during the first edition? I only had a successful execution plan for the Tokyo Film Festival. As the initiator and general person in charge, I could act cheaply!"
At that time, the organizing committee of the Tokyo Film Festival was basically composed of people from Shuyou. The other parties that later participated were at most sponsors or guests, and they were basically Naoki Nagayama’s vodka.
Since the second term, the number of people in the preparatory committee has increased, and even tree friends can only be regarded as the party with a stronger say.
"So this year's Tokyo International Film Festival broadcast can only be watched on Fuji TV?"
The head of the department, Mitsuhiro Yoshioka, asked anxiously, "Several other TV stations gained a lot of exposure and popularity last year!" Subsequent publicity reports also kept the TV station's ratings at a high level.
"Ah, speaking of that."
Nagayama Naoki drank the wine in the glass, and the sharp-eyed Akimoto Yasu immediately filled it up,
"In a few days, Fuji TV will also hold a closed-door meeting."
"Closed meeting?"
"Yes, TBS, Asahi, Tokyo and other TV stations, as well as various local channels, can discuss broadcasting matters with Fuji TV."
As for how you exchange broadcast rights, whether you buy them directly or exchange them for resources, Naoki Nagayama doesn’t care.
"Then after this term has a charter, bidding will begin."
After that, it was pure business. Let’s see who bids the higher price. Naoki Nagayama also provided the preparatory committee with the bidding process for the overall publicity plan based on his experience in bidding in his previous life.
"That's it"
After hearing this, Kotaro Ogata felt at ease. Just talk about it. In the end, it was a matter of making more or less. As long as he didn't miss the hot project of the Tokyo International Film Festival, this was related to the influence and status of TBS. .
If you miss it, you will definitely not be rated as the ratings winner at the end of the year~
After solving this knot, the rest of the drinking party was much more relaxed. Everyone casually chatted about interesting things in the industry, and occasionally looked to see if there was any chance of cooperation between Shuyou and TBS.
Seeing Yasushi Akimoto who had been serving diligently at the side, Naoki Nagayama said kind words:
"Akimoto-san's new variety show has great potential. It might become TBS's flagship show in the future!"
"Is Naoki-san watching it too?" Mitsuhiro Yoshioka said in surprise, "Our management also feels that it is very high-quality and has already adjusted it to prime time."
"This variety show is very novel, and its content and format are eye-catching. Qiu Yuansang's talent should not be underestimated!"
Nagayama Naoki toasted Akimoto Yasu with a glass of wine, which made Akimoto Yasu's eyes turn red.
It turns out that in Naoki-san's heart, I am actually so powerful!
When people with high status show kindness to others, they are blessed by a halo, which will make people more moved.
It's like Liu Bei gave someone a pair of straw sandals when he was weaving straw sandals in Zhuozhou, and he gave someone a pair of straw sandals when he became the uncle of the Han Dynasty. Are they the same kind of straw sandals? !
"Haha, you're right. Qiu Yuan-kun must have more than this talent!"
When Kotaro Ogata saw Nagayama Naoki also praising Akimoto Yasusu, he immediately echoed,
"There is still a lot of potential for TBS in the future!"
This is what I mean by giving Akimoto Yasu more opportunities in the future.
In the afternoon, Nagayama Naoki returned to Yamasakura-in with a somewhat drunken nature.
"I'm back~"
Yongtaro, who was about to rush over and beg for a touch, smelled the smell of alcohol and hesitated at the entrance.
When Akina, who was listening to the song, heard it, she quickly walked to the entrance.
However, seeing his pregnant wife running on the smooth floor made Naoki Nagayama a little worried:
"Mingna. Mingna! Slow down, slow down."
"Silly tape!" Akina helped collect Naoki Nagayama's coat and said without caring at all, "I have been practicing ballet in the dance studio since I was a child. I have a good sense of balance and have never fallen once."
"." But now you have a heavy burden!
Nagayama Naoki still stretched out his hand to help Akina slowly walk towards the sofa, while brushing aside the dog that had just come up to her.
"Naoki-san is drinking!"
As a little alcoholic, Akina naturally smelled the smell of alcohol immediately, and her eyes were filled with resentment. She hadn't drank in seven months!
"Yeah, I have a dinner date with people from TBS today~"
Nagayama Naoki helped Akina sit down and explained what he was going to drink today, and Akina shouted towards the kitchen:
"Nonaka-san, please cook a pot of sobering soup for Naoki-san~"
Nonaka Mori agreed while stewing something, and then began to prepare the sobering soup.
"Are you preparing dinner so early?" Nagayama Naoki was a little curious.
"Nonaka-san said he wanted to soak the dried abalone for stew."
"That's very troublesome~"
"yes."
After talking about daily trivial matters for a while, Akina seemed to suddenly remember, and said to Nagayama Naoki:
“The singing outfit designed by Naoki-san has been chosen as the album cover!”
"oh?"
Nagayama Naoki took the album handed over by Akina, which was Okada Yukiko's new album.
Above, Okada Yukiko is wearing a black and red princess costume, adding a neat and decisive feel to her original sweet style.
"Just saying that Yukiko can come to Tokyo alone for an interview and negotiate with her family for her debut. She is not a weak character!"
Nagayama Naoki said with emotion that since moving to Kenyin, it can be said that Okada Yukiko has completely escaped the original situation of committing suicide and has become confident and radiant.
“I really didn’t know how to create idols in sunny music before!”
In fact, we can’t blame Sunny Music. They have promoted Matsuda Seiko, the third generation idol successor in the entertainment industry. So it is natural to praise Okada Yukiko based on the experience of promoting Matsuda Seiko. Everyone is path dependent. ~
I just didn't realize that each artist's style is different, which almost made Yukiko Okada commit suicide due to depression.
"Yes, Yukiko-chan is now a super popular female idol!"
Akina looked at Okada Yukiko on the album cover and admired,
"You will definitely be able to surpass me in the future!"
"That's not necessarily the case!"
Nagayama Naoki touched his wife’s face,
“There is no substitute for Akina!”
"Hmm"
Akina was a little shy, leaning her head against her husband's arms and kept squirming around. It was another day of feeding Taro full of dog food!
While Naoki Nagayama was getting intimate with Akina, he suddenly thought that Seiko Matsuda would make a comeback by the end of this year!
After giving birth to her child, Matsuda Seiko didn't delay at all. She lost weight and appeared on the TV screen in the second month. What an ambitious woman!
I turned to look at Akina in my arms. Kenyin seemed to have said that they would release an album for Akina by the end of the year~
"Akina, you said before that you were going to release an album by the end of the year, right?"
"Hey, the song has been created, we just need to record it." Akina nodded, "The costumes are almost made!"
"Is it the song "Passion"?"
"Yes," Akina confirmed, "and the style of clothing, which is the gorgeous style of hip-hop and kimono."
"ah"
The phrase "Paris is hot" that Akina sang when she danced "Passion" naturally appeared in Naoki Nagayama's mind. He actually felt like he wanted to laugh.
"Akina, remember to wear a bob headband."
"."
In the past, there were Seiko and Akina, who were pregnant and had a baby and then came back to life, and in the latter, there were the powerful Okada Yukiko and Kudo Shizuka. The entertainment world at the end of this year should be exciting!
