Chapter 448 447, It's All Just Business

Chapter 448 447, it’s all just business.

In Ueno, Taito District, Tokyo, behind the simple red brick school gate are lush green plants and grass. The Ueno campus of Tokyo University of the Arts is hidden in this dense greenery.

Nagayama Naoki followed Itou Shuichi to his alma mater to participate in this event similar to an alumni reunion.

"Naoki-san, this is my alma mater!" Itou Shuichi pointed at the building outside the car window and said, "I used to attend classes here!"

If he was still shooting commercials and adult photos before, he didn't have the courage to go back to college.

However, in recent years, with the release of hit movies and TV series one after another, Itou Shuichi has become a well-known alumnus of Tokyo University of the Arts, and occasionally talks about his experiences to his junior students.

"My teacher is a doctoral supervisor in the Department of Imaging Studies."

Nagayama Naoki was a little surprised: "Is Mr. Machida Yaichi actually a doctoral supervisor? I thought he was just a professor in the directing department."

"The teacher is a professor in the field of film expression technology and directing, and he is also a doctoral supervisor~" Shuichi Itou introduced his supervisor while parking the car outside the venue.

When he arrived at the venue, Shuichi Itou immediately saw the energetic Machida Taichi at the door:

"Teacher, why are you at the door?"

Machida Yaichi was wearing a casual suit, and his whole person was relaxed: "I hope I can see my former students for the first time."

After saying that, he saw Nagayama Naoki and Komori Masataka behind him: "Naoki-san is here too?"

"Hi, I came here because of my reputation." Nagayama Naoki also bowed politely and said hello, "I heard that the party here is very lively."

"Hahaha, it's true. We are all in the film industry, and we always have intersections in one way or another."

Machida Yaichi knew that the young man in front of him was a dark horse in the film industry in the past two years. His arrival was a good communication opportunity for other people at the party.

After greetings, Nagayama Naoki walked into a salon-like venue. There was a simple projection screen in the corner, and seven or eight round tables surrounded an open space in the middle. There was a microphone placed, which should be the speaker waiting for him later. location.

Nagayama Naoki and the other three found a seat to sit down. Next to them, Itou Shuichi quickly found a familiar person and started chatting in a meeting.

Naoki Nagayama naturally followed him and met many people in the film industry.

Although not everyone is famous, people from all over the film industry probably have an acquaintance with him, and they have received many business cards based on their past achievements.

Such social occasions are not Naoki Nagayama's cup of tea, but for the sake of movie promotion, putting on a smiling face at this time is unavoidable.

"Everyone, welcome to today's gathering. All of you here are practitioners in the film industry and have the deepest understanding of the development of the film industry."

It was actually Machida Yaichi who was hosting, "Since this year, Japan has welcomed many good movies, such as "Antarctic Story" last month, and "ET", which was a hit in the first half of the year.

Investments are increasing, box office is getting higher and higher, and everyone is very optimistic about the future of the film industry. "

Naturally, another set of high-sounding words followed. As expected, everyone who can be a doctoral supervisor is very extraordinary.

Nagayama Naoki listened to Machida Yaichi's speech as if he was listening to a teacher in class, and he felt inexplicably sleepy:

"Xiu Yisang, what is the next process?"

"After that, play some representative movie clips, and then communicate freely with each other." Itou Shuichi tilted his head and said softly.

"Can you sneak away then?"

Itou Shuichi had a black line on his forehead: "Naoki-san, after all, this is also a promotional channel for our own movie!"

"Huh? Is there such a thing?"

At this time, Machida Yaichi said: "Recently, a movie by one of our alumni will be released. After watching part of the movie, I felt very shocked and deeply felt that this is a movie that will cause a trend. Share it with everyone here! ”

After he finished speaking, the trailer for "High School" began to play on the projection screen behind him.

Nagayama Naoki was surprised: "Shuichi-san, you actually asked your teacher to help promote our movie? Do you actually have such a good relationship with your teacher?"

Itou Shuichi had a half-smile on his face, and said in a sighing tone: "Naoki-san, Shuyu Pictures donated 10 million yuan to the school in my name."

"."

Nagayama Naoki was speechless, this is all just business!

The trailer of "High School" is still very effective in the eyes of many filmmakers.

And they also saw that unlike previous bad movies, this time the movie did not focus on the bad violence itself, but instead made people see the passion and youth contained in it.

This is different from the movies of the past! It aroused great interest among movie people.

After the play ended, buzzing discussions immediately filled the venue. After Machida Yaichi announced the free exchange, everyone began to gather next to Itou Shuichi and Nagayama Naoki and began to discuss movie-related content with them.

Although this group of people are not big names in the film industry, they are also screws in all aspects of the film industry. If "Hot Blood High School" ferments among these people, it will easily let the entire film industry know the details of the new movie.

During this period, many people hoped to invite Nagayama Naoki and the others to have a drink alone after the meeting.

When he returned home in the evening, Naoki Nagayama felt relaxed for a long time. Sure enough, after a busy week of work, it was very good to suddenly have some rest.

"No wonder most countries regard five days of work and two days of rest as the norm. It turns out that people really reach their limit after working for five days!"

Nagayama Naoki was making excuses for his laziness, completely ignoring so many social beasts of 996 and 007.

After taking a shower, I walked downstairs and saw Nyaotarou curled up on the sofa. He immediately collapsed next to Nyaotaro in a relaxed manner, like a pair of good brothers.

Yotaro quietly ran over and seemed to want to join in, but Naoki Nagayama unceremoniously pressed him under his legs, acting as a dog-foot pad.

The cool air blows out from the air conditioner, and the whole body is in a refreshing atmosphere.

"It's so comfortable!" Nagayama Naoki touched Nyaotarou's belly with one hand and turned on the TV with the remote control with the other hand.

It was prime time, and the popular TV series of this period were playing on the screen. However, Naoki Nagayama had never heard of it, but he felt that the acting was rather exaggerated.

"Why do you feel that today's TV dramas are so boring?"

As he said this, he thought of the TV drama scripts in his small inventory, as well as "Century of Love" and "Tokyo Love Story". They are all very classic dramas in the future!

"Should we film it next year? Should Akina be the protagonist?"

Thinking about whether to occupy the embarrassing title of the father of Yuejiu drama, Naoki Nagayama fell into a reverie.

"Ding ding ding~" the phone always rings when someone is unexpected.

"Moses Moses, this is Yamazakura-in~"

"Naoki-san, what are you doing?"

The person on the phone is Akina, whom I haven't seen for many days! What's going on? Is Cao Cao here?

Nagayama Naoki said very straightforwardly: "I just thought of Akina."

"Hahaha, Naoki-san is really good at talking! Have you often told other girls~"

Akina Nakamori, who was far away in a hotel in Tottori Prefecture, was lying on the bed talking on the phone. After hearing Naoki Nagayama's words, her calves swayed more happily.

"Akina actually wronged me, and she obviously only said it to you." Naoki Nagayama felt very confident at this time, because he had indeed only said it to her.

"Huaxin Naoki. I don't believe it~"

It’s that nickname again! Naoki Nagayama sometimes really wanted to arrest the reporter who wrote that article, but at this time it was obviously useless to continue to quibble. Naoki Nagayama directly asked about Akina's current situation.

"You have been holding concerts in different cities these days. How was the effect?"

"The concerts in each city are very good, everyone is very enthusiastic. Now we have arrived in Tottori Prefecture."

Akina Nakamori talked about her recent work history. Although her schedule is very tight, she is now more and more familiar with concerts, so everything is going smoothly.

"Tottori, this should be the time when pears are ripe~" Nagayama Naoki used the Japanese common sense in his head, "Twentieth Century Pears~"

"Ah, speaking of this, a local fan sent it to me specially!" Among Akina Nakamori's fan gifts, there was indeed a basket of green 20th century pears, "sweet, juicy and very delicious!"

". Akina is indeed a foodie!"

"Naoki-san, you said what was in your heart!" Nakamori Akina's tone suddenly became louder. If it was a video connection, you might be able to see the bulging bumps on her cheeks now.

"Hahaha~" Wisely did not continue, "When will Akina return to Tokyo?"

"Tomorrow's concert will be back the day after tomorrow. It should be THE BEST TEN's show." Although there was no live broadcast last time, the TV station still invited her this time. After all, she is a popular idol now.

"We won't be able to see Akina until the day after tomorrow~" Naoki Nagayama sighed.

"Shouldn't I say, you can see it the day after tomorrow! Such a happy tone!" Akina pretended to learn this sentence again in onomatopoeia, which made Naoki Nagayama feel better again.

Couples never know the time when talking on the phone. When Naoki Nagayama, who was sitting in the living room, looked up at the clock on the wall again, it was already early morning, and more than three hours had passed before he knew it.

Just as he was about to stand up, he noticed that Nyaotaro next to him yelled reluctantly.

"Huh? Why do you feel so bald on your belly, Nyaotaro?"

Nagayama Naoki, who once again avoided the sun and came to the studio, was full of energy again.

"Otomo-san, morning~"

Yoshimura Otomo was reading the newspaper in the office: "Naoki-san, it's very early today~"

"Get the editing done early and finish the work early!" Nagayama Naoki casually glanced at the front page headlines. There were still all kinds of scandal headlines, but there was one thing that caught people's attention.

The box office revenue of "Antarctic Story" in the first month reached 2 billion!

"Ah, this movie~" Yoshimura Otomo noticed Nagayama Naoki's gaze, "It's also a movie about people and dogs. It is said that it took three years to complete."

"In fact, the connection between humans and animals was noticed earlier than "The Tale of Hachiko."

Nagayama Naoki nodded: "Yes, if they can release it earlier, maybe they will create a new film genre."

"However, if they didn't have "Hachiko Monogatari" to give them the lead, they might not be able to achieve such good results." Yoshimura Otomo turned to the front of the report, "It is said that it cost 2.5 billion to shoot, and it has not been repaid yet. Woolen cloth."

"Haha, how can a movie starring Takakura Ken lose money~" Naoki Nagayama smiled, "Maybe the box office will exceed "ET"."

"Naoki-san is joking." This year's imported American film "ET" has caused a craze in Japan, dominating the box office, and will undoubtedly win the box office championship for the whole year.

"It is estimated that no movie will surpass "ET" this year."

At this moment, Itou Shuichi walked in. After hearing this sentence, he quickly said: "Who said that, "Hot Blood High School" definitely has this potential!"

"Shuichi-san is really confident in his movie!"

Yoshimura Otomo had no intention of arguing with him, and ended the topic lightly, and then said to Naoki Nagayama: "Naoki-san, this weekend, Burning's Etsurou Kikuchi wants to invite me to drink again. It's getting harder and harder to delay. "

Yoshimura Otomo was a little annoyed with this piece of brown candy, but seeing the Burning Firm behind him, he had to go.

Nagayama Naoki frowned and thought for a while: "Otomo-san, this Etsurou Kikuchi is a veteran who has been working in the entertainment industry for decades, right?"

"Hi, I'm the veteran of Burning Firm." He has been increasingly marginalized in recent years.

"Such a person must have many connections in the supernatural world." Naoki Nagayama thought about his idea of ​​expanding his influence in the entertainment world, and said to Yoshimura Otomo,

"Otomo-san, let me go with you this time and give him a final ultimatum!"

"The ultimatum?" Yoshimura Otomo looked at Nagayama Naoki, "Is it to force him to give up his thoughts on the three Maoyan sisters?"

"No, the three Maoyan sisters are his only straw now! He won't let go." Naoki Nagayama said, "However, I'm a little greedy for his connections now, so I want to recruit him to work on "Twilight Meow Meow" 》.

Naturally, this program planned with Yasushi Akimoto was also discussed with Otomo Yoshimura and the others.

"So fast?"

"Akimoto Yasu's planning is almost complete, it's time to start!" Naoki Nagayama plans to launch the program in October or November.

Before walking to the editing room, Naoki Nagayama left a message to Otomo Yoshimura:

"This is the last chance I give him, and he will definitely take it. We are his only chance to turn around!"

Yoshimura Otomo looked at the back of Naoki Nagayama walking out and felt that this guy seemed to have changed.

"Naoki-san is very powerful when he speaks harsh words~"
