Chapter 449 448, I Am Not Interested in Making Money

Chapter 449 448, I am not interested in making money~

On the muddy playground, there was only one body that was swaying but still standing. As the dark clouds dispersed, the brilliant sunset appeared in the distance of the sky, bringing a fatalistic shock to the final roar of the figure.

Naoki Nagayama, Shuichi Ido and Masataka Komori watched the carefully edited scene on the small screen together, just like seeing a treasure made by their own hands, and the more they watched, the more they liked it.

After more than half a month of overtime work, the editing work of "Hot Blood High School" is finally coming to an end.

However, after watching the latest segment, Komori Masataka said: "Naoki-san, Shuichi-san, after a series of foreshadowing and teasing, the audience's mood is at its highest point! I think if it ends here, it will just reach the peak!"

Ido Shuichi was a little dissatisfied: "I always feel that something is missing. It stops abruptly at the highest point~"

"Of course it lacks a sense of aftertaste and expectation!" Naoki Nagayama said seriously, and he was definitely not saying anything strange, "At least we should add some normal plots later as comfort."

"After all, we still have to leave suspense for the audience and prepare for the next one in advance!"

Ido Shuichi and Komori Masataka looked over immediately: "Next one?"

"Of course!" Naoki Nagayama rolled his eyes, "This is obviously a big IP with the same potential as "Tora-san's Story" and "Zatoichi."

"Is that so?" Ido Shuichi has never imagined a long-term series of movies, which is generally only considered by large production companies.

"As long as the IP of "Hot Blood High School" is popular, it will be a goose that lays golden eggs continuously in the future!" Naoki Nagayama recalled the future movie universes such as Marvel and DC monsters and painted a big cake for the two of them, "This generation is Serizawa Tamao, Shuuichi-san will shoot the next generation of Takizawa Genji, and Masataka-kun will shoot the next generation of Suzuran Overlord. Who will it be?

Such updates and iterations will root the popularity of Suzuran High School among young people."

"As long as bad groups still exist, as long as young people still exist, such IPs will not lose their vitality!"

This bluff made Idou Shuichi and Komori Masataka very excited. As expected, as a boss, other conveniences are not important, but the skill of painting a big cake for employees must be practiced.

Naoki Nagayama does not plan to continue to participate in the rest of the content in person. Today is the weekend, and he and Yoshimura Otomo will meet an old fox in the evening, which is another laborious task.

The new driver at night was Kawahara Takeharu, while Naoki Nagayama and Yoshimura Otomo sat in the back seat and chatted while waiting for the arrangements for the dinner.

"Today, Otomo-san didn't tell them that I would be there, did he?" Naoki Nagayama asked Yoshimura Otomo next to him.

"Hey, he didn't tell them at all." Yoshimura Otomo nodded and replied, "He only said that we would discuss the cooperation further."

"Then I won't participate in the discussion for the time being. Otomo-san, just chat with them as usual. Anyway, I will join in when the time comes."

Naoki Nagayama planned to give them a surprise. "Otomo-san, just cooperate with me according to the situation. Today, we must take down that old guy!"

"Hi!"

The place for the dinner was an old Japanese restaurant in Azabu Juban. As a famous wealthy area in Minato, there are many high-rise buildings here, but also various boutiques with a long history. Foreigners of different skin colors can be seen on the road from time to time. It is also a place where Eastern and Western cultures blend.

Naoki Nagayama saw the convenient facilities, neat and orderly streets, exquisite and high-end shops and quiet residences outside through the window, and felt that his desire to buy was stirring again.

"It would be nice to buy a house here in the future~ It's so convenient~"

Yoshimura Otomo laughed at the side. He only knew that Naoki Nagayama bought a courtyard in Kyoto two days ago, and then bought an apartment in Nakano. Now he wants to buy a house again?

"Naoki-san, are you too obsessed with real estate? You have almost 10 houses in your hands, right?"

Naoki Nagayama glanced at him and said, "Otomo-san, didn't I tell you before? Real estate is definitely the best investment method in the past ten years! If you don't buy a few more houses now, you will regret it in the future!"

"Hahaha, Naoki-san still likes to persuade people to buy houses." Yoshimura Otomo laughed and said to Kawahara Takeharu who was driving in the front seat, "Takeharu-kun, if you want to buy real estate, you must follow Naoki-san~"

"Hahaha~" Kawahara Takeharu could only laugh in agreement.

"If you don't believe me, just wait and see~"

Naoki Nagayama knows that you can't persuade someone more than three times, and now he only mentions it occasionally.

When they arrived at the reserved restaurant, Naoki Nagayama and Yoshimura Otomo got off the car, leaving only Kawahara Takeharu to watch the car and then send them back.

After not having to drive, it feels much more convenient to drink.

The private room has been reserved, and after reporting their names, they followed the waiter's instructions and quickly came to a Japanese-style room, where Etsuro Kikuchi and Masato Arai were.

Masato Arai had accompanied his old boss to drink with Yoshimura Otomo for the third time, and he had also helped persuade him many times, but Yoshimura Otomo, the old fox, just wouldn't give in.

On his side, Etsurou Kikuchi seems to be possessed. He must want the management rights of the three Maoyan sisters, which makes him a little bored now. However, he still needs to establish an image of loyalty and gratitude in the workplace, and Had to come.

But this time it’s a bit strange. In the past, Fangcun Daiyu came alone, but this time he actually brought a junior. Was it to give him a long experience? But it seems a bit familiar?

"Kikuchi-san, Arai-san, it's a little late." Yoshimura Otomo greeted him warmly when he entered the door. After all, after drinking so much, he could be considered a fair-weather friend, and it was normal to be affectionate.

"Yangcun-san!" Both of them nodded, "We have just arrived."

Yoshimura Otomo didn't mean to introduce Naoki Nagayama next to him, and sat directly opposite. Naoki Nagayama also sat silently next to him.

"Yoshimura-san, what have you been busy with recently?" They are all old foxes, so naturally they can't go straight to the topic right away. Kikuchi Etsurou started with greetings.

"The main thing is the announcement of Yutaka Ozaki's second album. I've been really busy lately." Yoshimura Otomo took a sip of water very naturally, and then talked about his recent main work.

Masato Arai nodded in approval: "Ozaki Yutaka's album really made a huge wave in the industry! I remember the last time it was No. 1 on the Oricon Chart, right?"

"You really stepped into the realm of first-class singers all of a sudden." Etsurou Kikuchi was naturally aware of the overwhelming publicity.

"Hi, thanks to everyone in the industry and outside for their support."

Yoshimura Otomo smiled very happily. After all, no one can chat with him without this most popular singer at the moment. It is said that several idol singers have chosen to postpone the release of new songs in order to avoid his sharp influence.

"Your company Koizumi Kyoko's "Half Minute Girl" has also achieved good results!" Yoshimura Otomo also offered commercial promotion in a timely manner.

Kyoko Koizumi, who debuted in the same batch as Akina Nakamori, is also very popular.

"Hahaha~"

After a period of business exchanges, the food and wine were served, and after a few exchanges of glasses, the atmosphere of the entire dinner was in full swing.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost heightened, Kikuchi Etsurou finally started to get to the point:

"Fangcun-san, in the operation of the three Maoyan sisters we talked about before, you can occupy 20% of the shares of the new office. This is our greatest sincerity. What do you think?"

Because of drinking, Fangcun Dayou's face had a trace of red, but he was still very cautious: "Didn't I say this before? It's not a matter of shares, but a matter of ownership."

"Even if we cooperate, the ownership rights will still be in the name of our GG Firm."

Masato Arai toasted a glass of wine and helped persuade: "Yangcun-san, in fact, relying on our resources, the three Maoyan sisters will get more room for development.

Even 20% of the shares will bring more business profits than you have now."

As the head of the media and public relations department of Burning Agency, Masato Arai is very confident in what he said: "As long as you join the Burning agency, the three Maoyan sisters will receive resources and opportunities, whether in announcements, endorsements, advertising, records or film and television. It will all go to a higher level.”

Kikuchi Etsuro also started to play the emotional card: "Yes, Yoshimura-san, the Wildcats have such potential!"

Yoshimura Otomo still hesitated: "But if this is the case."

"Isn't it a creator's wish to give his idol group a bigger space?" Etsurou Kikuchi persuaded others while drinking, "When the children grow up, they naturally need their own sky!"

Naoki Nagayama, who was standing by, almost laughed when he heard this. It was obviously poaching, but he could still go so far. These two guys are really thick-skinned!

Fangcun Otomo was vague and refused to say anything, leaving the two people opposite him helpless and wanting to continue persuading: "Fangcun-san"

"Otomo-san will not agree!"

Nagayama Naoki, who was eating and drinking silently on the side, suddenly spoke, which surprised the two people opposite him, "No matter how hard you try to persuade me, it's useless!"

Suddenly a young man interrupted, Kikuchi Etsurou was a little angry: "Who are you? How dare you talk like this!"

Only then did Yoshimura Otomo introduce him: "Kikuchi-san, Arai-san, this is our president, Naoki Nagayama!"

I originally thought it was just a handsome back, but I didn't pay much attention to it just now. It was only then that Arai Masato took a serious look:

"I asked why they look so familiar. It turns out to be Mr. Naoki Nagayama!"

As the head of the media public relations department, Masato Arai has a basic understanding of celebrities from all walks of life.

However, Naoki Nagayama is a bit weird. Except for "Boys Over Flowers" in the first half of the year, he has very little exposure in the entertainment industry, and his current appearance is very different from that time, so he was not recognized at first glance.

"Sorry, I took the liberty to come here and didn't introduce myself. It's really rude."

It is my first time to meet the two people in front of me, so it is a bit strange to suddenly say like this, "I am Naoki Nagayama, this is my first time meeting you, please give me your advice!"

"Hi, I'm Arai Masato/Kikuchi Etsuro, please give me some advice~" the two of them also replied.

But Kikuchi Etsurou was more concerned after all, and asked anxiously: "Nagayama-san, what did you mean when you just said it was impossible?"

"It literally means that GG Firm will never give up its operating rights." Naoki Nagayama directly blocked the escape route.

Kikuchi Etsurou immediately became anxious: "Why?!"

"Because I don't allow it!"

Nagayama Naoki said it carelessly, like an innocent and stubborn child,

"The idol that I am so popular for has been robbed once, how could it be robbed a second time?"

Looking at Nagayama Naoki's young face, I didn't know whether what he said was true or false.

Kikuchi Etsuro's eyes also looked towards Yoshimura Otomo, wanting to seek some answers.

However, Fangcun Dayou just kept drinking and eating food at this time, and had no intention of replying at all.

After a while, Arai Masato asked: "Nagayama-san, is there really no room for negotiation? We can increase the shares to 30%!"

"There is no need to consider this, Arai-san."

Nagayama Naoki is still very determined,

"I'm not interested in making money~"

"Uh" The two of them were speechless for a moment.

Even Yoshimura Otomo, who was immersed in eating, raised his head in surprise.

"Ahem." Naoki Nagayama suddenly said his famous words, blushing slightly, "Arai-san, Kikuchi-san, I have a proposal."

Masato Arai sat upright: "Please tell me."

"Recently, people from TBS and I planned a program, and the tentative name is "Twilight Meow"."

Naoki Nagayama thought about his previous conversation with Yasushi Akimoto, "It's a show similar to a talent show, but the format is different."

"We want to create a very civilian idol group by auditioning ordinary high school students as guests on the show."

Arai Masato was surprised when he heard this: "High school student, civilian idol? Nagayama-san, will anyone pay attention to this kind of idol?"

Etsurou Kikuchi shook his head: "This is not an idol at all!"

"Hahaha, what exactly are idols nowadays? After the idol disqualification incident, the public is also very doubtful about this."

Naoki Nagayama smiled and said, "The idols who debuted this year are not very popular anymore."

"This is a civilian idol"

"The popularization of idols is a trend. Through our research and judgment, this idea has great prospects! It is expected to trigger a trend."

Nagayama Naoki told them the answer directly and affirmatively, and continued: "In short, we plan to use the guests on the show to create an idol group, and maintain the vitality of the girl group by constantly replacing members.

Creating an idol group that breaks the rules and leads the trend of the times is what I want to do. "

"At the moment, the three Maoyan sisters just want to use it as a gimmick for the first issue."

Nagayama Naoki looked at the two of them, "Wildcats is the original girl group. If possible, we actually want to continue this girl group and become a legacy."

Masato Arai and Etsurou Kikuchi looked at each other: "Is Naoki-san here for this?"

"Hey, apart from the name of the Wildcats, I actually don't have much demand for you two." When bargaining, it is natural to belittle the other party.

"With the participation of TBS producers and Fuji Television Production Bureau, we can already start preparing the program."

"This" Kikuchi Etsurou thought for a moment and thought of the key point, "What Nagayama-san means is that this girl group is not under the name of your agency?"

"Yes, the three of us plan to set up a new company specifically to operate this girl group."

Isn’t this how Nogizaka46 and AKB48 will operate in the future?

Now the two of them understood that Naoki Nagayama was trying to get Etsurou Kikuchi, no, it was the Burning people behind him to join the gang!

Etsurou Kikuchi is still an old fox after all: "Nagayama-san, in addition to the Wild Cats, you should also be interested in the Burning system, right?"

"Ha, that's part of the reason, but it's not necessary. Our strength is almost the same." TBS and Fuji TV, plus Naoki Nagayama and the others, are already considered a powerful alliance in the industry.

However, Nagayama Naoki still proposed: "Of course, if the Burning group can join the team, that would be great.

At present, neither I nor Otomo-san can spare the energy. The producers of TBS are also very busy. The newly established company still lacks a person in charge. If there is someone with such rich qualifications as Kikuchi-san."

Kikuchi Etsurou began to breathe quickly: "What Nagayama-san means is"

"We are willing to hand over the executive president of the new company to you. The shareholding will need to be discussed again, but judging from the current situation, it is about 10%."

Nagayama Naoki directly stated the proposal, "After all, it depends on the resources that the Burning system and Kikuchi-san can bring."

Kikuchi Etsurou began to think deeply, and Arai Masato did not speak.

The road ahead was cut off. Kikuchi Etsurou's idea of ​​opening an independent firm was originally a desperate move, but this sudden proposal made Kikuchi Etsurou's heart flutter.

However, Nagayama Naoki has no intention of continuing to accompany them:

"Let's stop talking here. We have finished exchanging our opinions. If Kikuchi-san has decided, please reply as soon as possible. The show will soon enter the preparation stage."

"Then let's excuse ourselves for today." After saying that, he stood up and motioned to Fangcun Dayou to leave together.

"Huh? This" Fangcun Otomo stood up and said, "Private Marseille."

Then he left with Naoki Nagayama.

Kikuchi Etsuro and Arai Masato didn't have time to persuade them to stay.

When they were almost at the door, Fangcun Dayou opened his mouth and asked, "Naoki-san, are you just leaving like that?"

"What's there to talk about?" Nagayama Naoki said casually, "If he agrees, then it's best. If he doesn't agree, then we haven't lost anything. Anyway, we won't be pestering Otomo-san."

"But... I didn't give them time to think about it."

"We are not in a hurry now, we are Kikuchi Etsuro's life-saving straw." Nagayama Naoki thought about Kikuchi Etsuro's anxious look just now, "This is called extreme pressure, and it is one of the common practices of Americans.

But I think he will agree!

If everything goes well, it will be when we go out."

"Yongshan-san! Yoshimura-san! Please wait a moment! I agree!"

Kikuchi Etsurou's call came from the stairs behind him.

Yoshimura Otomo looked at Naoki Nagayama in front of him, his eyes widened. Can this guy in front of him know how to pinch?
