Chapter 532 530, Are You Going to Film All the Novels You Have Written?

Yesterday's report has been fermenting for a whole day and is getting more and more strange.

The news from major newspapers is simply eye-opening: Some people are saying that it must be hype, how could there be such a scary movie, did the director take money;

Some people want to make a bet with the producer, if he himself is not scared, then ask the director of "Midnight Ring" to bow and apologize in public;

Some people even swear that watching "Midnight Ring" can cure urinary problems caused by prostate hyperplasia

In short, people's interest in this movie has indeed been raised, and Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Ido probably don't have to worry about the performance of today's premiere.

"Naoki-san, aren't you going to the cinema to check it out today?" Idou Shuichi asked, "It's our premiere after all."

"No need!" Nagayama Naoki was busy editing "Love Letter" in the editing room, "We have made complete preparations, the quality of our film is very good, and don't we have Riko-chan and the others watching?"

"If the boss has to do everything himself, what's the point of having subordinates~"

When Idou Shuichi first heard this, he thought Nagayama Naoki was an experienced capitalist, but after thinking for a while, he seemed to have discovered the truth:

"Naoki-san, you're just too lazy to go and watch it, right?"

". It's so cold, it's natural not to want to go out!" Nagayama Naoki said, "Besides, I'm still working hard!"

"." Idou Shuichi thought seriously for a while, and then he felt relieved, "Well, forget it, since the guy who gets the largest share is so relaxed, why should I worry so much!"

So Idou Shuichi also happily participated in the editing.

It is said that people with similar tastes become friends. Perhaps Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Idou are the kind of people who are very generous with money! Even Yoshimura Otomo, although he is serious and responsible at work, was not too excited when he handled billions of profits.

After devoting himself to the whole morning, Yoshimura Otomo knocked on the door,

"Naoki-san, we are going to Fuji TV."

"Ah, it's already this time~" Naoki Nagayama stretched and looked at the other three in the editing room, "Then I will leave the afternoon to Shuichi-san."

"Hey~ Just go~"

Since "Fuji All Night" broke the news about Kinji Fukasaku first, the producers of Fuji TV keenly understood the unparalleled topicality of "Midnight Ring", so the production department of the TV station contacted Naoki Nagayama and others as soon as possible.

The one who is close to the water gets the moon first, after all, they are also cooperating with the new show "Twilight Meow"!

Today, we are going to talk about the borrowing of some copyrights of "Midnight Ring", including images, plots, and names. The producers of the production bureau want to add this hot topic to the appropriate variety show. In Japan, where copyright awareness is very strong, it is still very important.

When he was about to go out, Naoki Nagayama remembered what he promised his sister and said to Yoshimura Otomo:

"Otomo-san, I have to go to Waseda to deliver something first, or we can meet at Fuji TV?"

"It's on the way anyway, let's go together~"

After that, he got into Naoki Nagayama's Toyota Century.

I don't know when it started, Yoshimura Otomo and Idou Shuichi both like to take Naoki Nagayama's car, saying that they can experience the "feeling of a big boss". Obviously one bought a Porsche and the other bought a Mercedes-Benz.

The road conditions were very good on weekends, and there were not many people traveling. Naoki Nagayama soon arrived at his first house.

Stopping at the bottom of the small apartment building in Waseda, Naoki Nagayama found that the old house not far from the apartment building had been renovated and new residents had moved in.

Even the cosmos in the yard had been shoveled away~

That was exactly where the prototype of the novel "Summer Garden" was!

After ringing the doorbell, someone opened the door soon. Nagayama Tsuruko's face stretched out. When she found out it was her brother, she immediately became happy:

"Ni-chan! Come in~"

"No." Naoyama Naoki took out a few movie tickets from his pocket, "Hey, here are the tickets. Remember, I need someone to watch it with you!"

"What a weird thing! There is such a horror!" Tsuruko pouted in disbelief, and then said, "I will go to see it with Junshui-chan!"

Through the open door, Naoyama Naoki found the figure of Ishii Junshui in the kotatsu in the living room, and waved to her as a greeting: "It's better to find more people"

Nagayama Naoki advised: "Because you are my sister, I told you specially!"

".Hi!"

Seeing that his sister still had a mediocre reaction, Naoyama Naoki stopped persuading her and let Sister Sadako teach her a lesson!

"By the way, Tsuruko, do you know the old house downstairs?"

"Ah, the one with a lot of cosmos?"

"Yes, that house, and the old man inside, is the prototype of my first book." Naoki Nagayama recalled, "Why has it changed so much now?"

"Well, that old man has passed away~" Tsuruko didn't know that her brother had a connection with that place, "Now new residents have moved in and renovated~"

"Ah, that's why." Naoki Nagayama sighed, and thought of the operation of the three little ghosts (Haruyama Kazuya, Hara no Eda, Akita Shi) to whom he threw the cosmos seeds at that time,

"But finally, this last journey for old man Nagai Tadahiro wasn't so lonely!"

"Does Ni-chan really know the old man?" Tsuruko asked.

"That's right~ It's just that he doesn't know me~" Nagayama Naoki just sighed, and then prepared to go back, "Then Tsuruko, go home early after watching the movie and don't run around!"

".I'm already in college!!!"

"That's not an adult~"

After going downstairs under Tsuruko's unhappy gaze, Nagayama Naoki returned to the car.

Yoshimura Otomo noticed that he looked a little disappointed, so he asked: "Naoki-san, what happened?"

"There is a person who knew, but he is gone~" Naoki Nagayama took a deep breath and adjusted his mentality, "It's a bit sentimental."

"Ah, that's it~" Yoshimura Otomo is nearly fifty years old and has experienced a lot of partings. "Naoki-san, life is like this. Partings are always happening. Just look at it~"

"Yeah, I know." Nagayama Naoki's heart moved, "But Otomo-san, I know what I'm going to shoot next year!"

"That's good??" Fangcun Dayou was stunned.

"'Summer Garden'! I want to film it too!"

Yoshimura Otomo paused for a moment: "Naoki-san, wasn't the copyright of "Summer Garden" sold?"

"." The atmosphere was slightly awkward.

"No way out! (I'm so annoyed)" Nagayama Naoki said forcefully, "Then I will shoot with Toho. A director of my level, am I still afraid that they won't accept it?"

Yoshimura Otomo sighed, as if he was looking at his rebellious son in adolescence:

"Naoki-san, do you want to film all the novels you have ever written?"

"Haha, maybe it will work! "Love in the Sky" is so sad, it will definitely be very popular!"

Naoki Nagayama smiled and said, for young men and women, romantic dramas are either sadistic or sweet, and they will definitely do well at the box office anyway!

"." Otomo Fangcun was speechless~

Arriving at the familiar Fuji TV building, Naoki Nagayama felt as if he had returned to his own home. There were even familiar staff members greeting him.

Otomo Yoshimura next to him joked: "Naoki-san, you are so popular on Fuji TV, I think you will buy Fuji TV in the future!"

"Then let Otomo-san be the director of Fuji TV when the time comes, hahaha~"

When it comes to blowjobs between men, there is no upper limit!

"Naoki-san!" Nishirumi came over and said hello. She came to greet the two of them, "You are here! Did you go well on the road?"

"Hey, the roads are clear today."

Naoki Nagayama exchanged greetings with her, and then followed Rumi Nishi towards the floor of the production bureau. In the production bureau conference room on the sixth floor, Nagayama Naoki once again met the head of Fuji TV's first production department, Takano Kazuki.

"Naoki-san! Otomo-san!" Takano Ikki stood up to greet the two of them, getting closer than before.

"Minister Takano!" X2, Naoki Nagayama and Otomo Yoshimura shook hands with him respectively, "Long time no see, is everything okay?"

"Of course, everything is fine." Takano Ikki said with a smile on his face, "The ratings of "Twilight Meow" planned by Naoki-san are getting better and better, and yesterday's "Midnight Ring" incident made our evening schedule even more popular. The ratings have gone up a notch.”

"I have been praised by the station director during this period." Takano Ikki also sounded very happy. As we get closer to the end of the year, the situation of the TV station is getting better and better, and Naoki Nagayama has played a big role.

"That was Minister Takano's achievement."

Yoshimura Otomo and Nagayama Naoki echoed a few times, and the atmosphere in the conference room was extremely harmonious for a while.

After a while, many people arrived in the conference room, including familiar Sugiura Oyasu, Ueya Haruta and others, even Naotaro Nakanishi, and some unknown guys, who should be from the production bureau.

"Naoki-san, Otomo-san." When everyone was gathered, Minister Takano started the topic directly, "I invite you two here this time because I want to discuss some cooperation on "The Ring"."

"Hi."

"Since yesterday, we have realized the huge potential of this horror movie. It will definitely set off a topic in the entertainment industry for some time to come."

Director Takano Balabala said a lot, which roughly means that this movie has great potential, and we want to present some of its elements in the program. We hope that the copyright-related parts can be licensed to us.

Originally, the image in horror movies was not that big of a deal. The appearance of various ghosts and monsters has a long history in culture, but this time the image of Sadako is very recognizable and it appears for the first time.

Some plots are also first-of-its-kind, such as climbing out of the TV set. There is also the name "Midnight Ring", which will definitely be used in the program.

However, in the business discussion, Yoshimura Otomo looked embarrassed: "Mr. Takano, you know, when the movie just came out, these copyrights are the most important time. If it is authorized to the TV station at this time, the creation of the movie IP It’s an injury.”

"Otomo-san, the exposure of the TV station will also bring more exposure and attention to "Midnight Ring"!" Otasu Sugiura said kind words next to him, "It can be seen by more people!"

"But if such a plot is leaked, it will not be the first time for people who go to the cinema to see it, which will make the movie less scary and less attractive!" Yoshimura Otomo retorted unceremoniously, "Not to mention that the scattered images and plot will be exposed. Weaken the centripetal force of the entire IP”

Naoki Nagayama watched from the sidelines as Yoshimura Otomo and the people from Fuji TV quarreled. Normally at this time, Naoki Nagayama would give all the initiative in negotiations to Yoshimura Otomo. After all, his face was too tender during negotiations. It is easy to be thought that there is no sense of oppression~

"Otomo-san, we can provide more copyright fees for the use of the image of "Midnight Bell"!" Takano Kazuki said, "How much can make up for the losses. Do you think 20 million is okay?"

Twenty million is already close to the production cost of a TV series, which is not low!

"This is not a matter of money!" Yoshimura Otomo said, "Mr. Takano, you have to know that we may lose hundreds of millions in box office because of the plot that was leaked in advance!"

This is nonsense. How can it affect hundreds of millions! No more than 100 million.

"Otomo-san, you are exaggerating," the other person started talking again.

Naoki Nagayama couldn't bear to continue arguing with these guys endlessly, so he interrupted:

"Boss Takano, Otaisan. This movie is a masterpiece that I put all my brains into, director Itou put all my efforts into, and all the staff at Shuyu Pictures put their heart and soul into!"

You want to buy the adaptation rights for a mere 20 million? "

Everyone in the office looked at Naoki Nagayama, and Ikki Takano asked slowly: "So, what does Naoki-san mean?"

Nagayama Naoki showed an evil smile: "I need more money!"

"." A group of people, including Otomo Yoshimura, were silent. It was as if he was meeting Naoki Nagayama for the first time!

After a lot of excitement, Nagayama Naoki also felt that this sentence was a bit lethal, the kind that hurt oneself by one thousand and hurt the enemy by eight hundred, so he quickly changed his tone.

"Haha, Director Takano, I'm just kidding~" Naoki Nagayama said seriously, "Actually, to be honest, if we sell the adaptation rights at this stage, the purchase amount of your station will be far from being able to offset our box office losses."

"So let's not worry about the amount and let's talk about other conditions."

The people from Fuji TV looked at each other, and Sugiura Oitai, who had the best relationship, asked: "Naoki-san, what are your conditions?"

Nagayama Naoki directly stated the conditions he had agreed with Yoshimura Otomo before:

"I want a Fuji TV commercial!"

"This" Minister Takano thought he heard it wrong, but it was just an advertisement, and it was too cheap. "An advertisement?"

"Yes, an advertisement about one minute long." Naoki Nagayama said, "It's just an advertisement that can be inserted at any time!"

"? Interrupt anytime?"

Generally speaking, only breaking news can be inserted at any time, such as volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and earthquakes, the death of the emperor, the assassination of the Prime Minister, etc., but just an advertisement?

There was a buzzing discussion in the conference room. The cost of an advertisement is actually not high, even in prime time, it is only a few million at most. What is important is the right to insert it at any time.

"Naoki-san, what kind of advertisement are you talking about?"

"Ah, this is the preview of the next movie, "Love Letter"." Naoki Nagayama said, "What I lost on this movie, I will make back in the next movie!"

"Why does this movie advertisement have to be inserted at any time?" Otasu Sugiura asked.

"Because I don't know the specific release time yet!" Naoki Nagayama laughed, "I will play this commercial when it snows for the first time in Tokyo!"

In Naoki Nagayama's mind, he has already made a plan. In addition to advertising, he has also negotiated with the cinema to release it directly when it snows.

Although a little willful, he just wanted to connect this "Love Letter" and the theme song "Snow Flower" with the snow in Tokyo to form a symbolic movie.

Such a romantic operation can allow people to recall this classic movie and song every year when it snows, making "Love Letter" and "Snow Flower" the representatives of winter love.

Yoshimura Otomo was a little surprised when he first heard about it. It was so random.

However, under Naoki Nagayama's mouth, a strange mood finally arose. Wouldn't it be particularly interesting to play around like this? !

What's the point of making so much money? Doing things that others can't do and leaving an impression in people's hearts that cannot be easily erased is the meaning of life!

People in the conference room discussed it. Minister Takano Ikki believed that there had never been such a precedent and was opposed to it.

However, Sugiura Oitai was supportive and advised:

"Anyway, just treat it as a news break about the snow in Tokyo! It's considered breaking news!"

"But, this is an advertisement!"

"No one said that breaking news cannot be broadcast in the form of advertisements!" Sugiura Oyasu said, "This is just a contingency and will not have much impact on the station."

"Even when explaining to the outside world, you can use the reason that others spent a lot of money to cover it up!"

"But, they didn't give that much money."

"Minister, you have to know that the addition of "Midnight Ring" may bring our ratings to a higher level at the end of the year!" Sugiura Oyasu said the most important reason, "Minister, the assessment of our production bureau is the ratings Rate, not advertising revenue!”

"."

Director Takano Ikki was finally moved. As the director of the First Production Department, ratings are the year-end bonus, dividends, and the guarantee for promotion and salary increase.

".so be it!"

Naoki Nagayama and Otomo Yoshimura left the TV station with relaxed expressions. Today's mission goal has been achieved.

"Naoki-san, do you really think you can make money back from "Love Letter"?"

"Otomo-san, young people fall in love every year, and it snows every year. As long as you connect the two, people will think of this movie again and again!

Movies like this have a very long life! What we earn is the box office for the next few decades!

Think about the song "さくら~あなたに出会えてよかった~" (Sakura Sakura, I want to see you). Every year when the cherry blossoms fall, I can hear it in the record store.

Even that cherry blossom flavored soda becomes popular again every year! "

Naoki Nagayama mentioned his first soda commercial and the soundtrack. That is to bind the product itself with cherry blossoms and love, and it will be reborn every year.

Yoshimura Otomo also recalled it, and gained confidence in Nagayama Naoki's idea, and was even more looking forward to the unfinished "Love Letter":

"Naoki-san, shall we continue going back to the studio for editing now?"

"."

Naoki Nagayama looked at the sunset sky. It's already this time. Do you want me to work overtime?

"Otomo-san, I have a date tonight."

"Oh? Is it that Nakamori Akina-san?"

".Who else would it be?"

Fangcun Otomo said a list of names calmly:

"I thought it was Tanaka Yuko-san, Higuchi Konanko-san, Harada Mieko-san, or Chiko Aoyama-chan!"

"."

They are all rumored to have scandals!

Recently, I have been writing big chapters of 5,000 or 6,000 words. It seems that my coding skills have improved~
