Chapter 539 537, Call the Little Sister and Have Fun All Night?
"Ni-chan? Are you going to spend Christmas Eve together tomorrow?"
Although it was a little late, Tsuruko still called to ask again.
"Eh? Isn't Tsuruko going to spend Christmas Eve with her boyfriend?" Nagayama Naoki asked, "Haven't you won over Senior Kaneda yet? They went to see "The Ring" together!"
"How worried are you that your sister won't get married? You care about her more than your mother!"
Tsuruko complained, thinking back to the day after watching "The Ring", everyone spent the whole night worrying about Sadako popping up, and was scared by Bagani-chan once, so there was no time to think about confession or anything like that!
As for later, Tsuruko and Senior Kaneda were delayed for some reason.
Naoki Nagayama sighed, "I really didn't want Tsuruko to fall in love in high school. But you didn't fall in love in high school, which made me worried. After entering college, I found that it was good for someone to accept your personality."
"Baga! Who said that? Tsuruko is very popular in college, right!"
"Okay, I believe it," Naoki Nagayama said, "But didn't you still not spend Christmas with your lover?"
Deeply influenced by American culture, Japan has a high acceptance of Western festivals such as Christmas, but due to the assimilation of local culture, it has also developed unique holiday habits in Japan, such as eating Christmas cakes, eating fried chicken nuggets, etc.
One of the points is that Christmas Eve before Christmas is often more valued than Christmas itself, and compared to spending it with the whole family, young people are more accustomed to spending it with their lovers, and exchanging gifts is only exchanged between lovers.
So when winter comes, young men and women will be anxious to find their ideal candidates. It is rare for someone like Tsuruko to have a crush on someone but not confess her love~
"." Tsuruko was silent for a moment, and retorted, "Don't you have a lover to spend Christmas with, Ni-chan?"
Who said I don't? It's just that Akina has a lot of Christmas activities, especially TV shows and so on.
Naoki Nagayama couldn't say it directly, so he could only acquiesce:
"Forget it, since Tsuruko is alone, let's spend Christmas together!"
"I'll call Brother Feng later. If he is alone, let's spend Christmas together~"
Tsuruko happily agreed on the phone.
When calling Nagayama Feng, there was actually a burst of noise on the other side. In the noise, the voice of Nagayama Feng could be distinguished.
"Ah, on Christmas, my brothers and I have an appointment to go to a nightclub, call some ladies, and have fun all night!" Nagayama Feng's voice is full of joy, "Does Naoki want to join us?"
"No, no, Brother Feng, have fun~"
After hanging up the phone, Naoki Naoki sighed, as expected, Brother Feng is the one who is suitable for the extravagant Tokyo!
Call some ladies and have fun all night! Naoki Naoki Naoki has never tried it before!
What should I do if I am still a little tempted?
However, after a difficult ideological struggle, Naoki Naoki gave up this idea. After all, if he was accidentally photographed or spread out, then soon, the nickname of "Flirtatious Naoki" might be changed to "Lewd Naoki".
If so, he probably can't stay in Japan anymore!
Since entering the entertainment industry, with his excellent debut movie and the faint background of the Yamaguchi-gumi, Nagayama Kaede has lived a very comfortable life. He dyed himself into a colorful appearance at the fastest speed, and then began to pollute his agency in turn. Now his artist agency has a reputation of "playing well" in the industry. However, this can be regarded as a good place in the entertainment industry~ "I hope that Brother Feng will not organize a Haitian Grand Feast or attend a silver party." Naoki Nagayama also made a decision, "When I go back to my hometown this year, I will also talk to my grandfather about the discipline of Brother Feng!" When the sun rose again, there was only one week left in Showa 58. At the urging of Taro, Naoki Nagayama opened his eyes and saw the bright sunshine outside the window. Today's weather is also very good! Make breakfast, take Taro for a walk, return to Yama Sakura Court, and then Naoki Nagayama drove to the studio as usual. "Naoki-san, good morning!"
Xing Jiahua greeted happily, and directed to put a Christmas tree next to the front desk.
Looking at the empty Christmas tree, Naoki Naoyama was a little surprised: "Hana-chan, why is there no gift?"
"I will hang it up today." Xing Jiahua said with a smile, "When everyone comes to the company tomorrow, you can get a small gift!"
"Oh? Then I must come tomorrow"
Welcoming the employees in the office, Naoki Naoyama walked into the office, but surprised Yoshimura Otomo:
"Naoki-san, why are you here?"
"Uh, why don't I come here?" Naoki Naoyama was speechless. Is it a bad thing to come to work by yourself? I don't know who has been saying that I never come to work!
"Isn't today Christmas Eve? Tomorrow is Christmas." Yoshimura Otomo pressed his glasses, "It just so happens that the work has come to an end. I thought Naoki-san would rest until next Monday!"
"."
Naoki Nagayama thought about it and it seemed to be true. "Love Letter" had been edited and the year-end bonus had been paid. It seemed that he was already a dispensable role in Shuyou Films!
Yoshimura Otomo will not let go of the labor that comes to his door.
"Now that Naoki-san is here, let's discuss the adjustment of the company's structure next year!" As he said that, Yoshimura Otomo handed over a tree diagram.
"I sorted out several major businesses currently under my name, and then briefly sorted out the structure. The board of directors is very simple. Currently there are only four, Naoki-san, Shuichi-san, myself and Kadokawa. Of course, the chairman of Shuyu Group It’s Naoki-san, who also serves as the president.”
Yoshimura Otomo-chan described the general structure. Because the group is not large, the various business lines are also very clear. It also listed several current leaders who have been promoted or promoted.
Nagayama Naoki looked at this document and found that there was actually not much of a problem. In fact, Japan's current corporate structure is almost mature, and the most important thing is equity.
"Otomo-san, if adjustments are to be made, Kadokawa may need to discuss it again." Nagayama Naoki said, "In the past two years, Kadokawa has made a lot of money with its small investment. But then If it goes on, after the business merger, 25% of the shares will be too much."
"Do you want to dilute their shares?" Yoshimura Otomo asked.
"Yes, we have idol business, record business, asset operation and other profitable businesses merged here. Naturally, we cannot let Kadokawa continue to maintain a quarter of the shares." Naoki Nagayama said.
"What if Kadokawa chooses to increase his holdings?" Yoshimura Otomo asked.
"Ha, then it depends on how much money they can offer. Even if the money is not enough," Naoki Nagayama said, "It is best to exchange for shares of Kadokawa Pictures. The cross-shareholding method can ensure the long-term and stable cooperation between our two companies."
"This" Yoshimura Otomo didn't expect Naoki Nagayama to actually covet Kadokawa's shares.
"Anyway, this is just an idea. We can still talk about it later, so don't worry for now." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Otomo-san, after the new year, we can have a good chat with Haruki-san."
"Yes, Kadokawa will definitely arrange for inspectors to come over next year."
The two chatted all morning about the structural adjustment next year, but Shuichi Itou, one of the three giants, was not in the studio.
He was meeting with his teacher, Machida Yaichi, in the university teacher's office and chatting about next year's film selection.
The energetic old man said: "Yitang Jun, which movie do you plan to use to compete for awards?"
"Of course it's 'High School'!" Itou Shuichi said, "Although 'The Ring' is also a work of confidence, horror films are niche films after all, with a small audience and insufficient influence."
Machida Yaichi nodded, picked up the hot tea from the coffee table in the office and handed it over: "I've also heard about "Midnight Bell", but I didn't go to see it myself. Hahaha, after hearing about director Fukasaku, I really Don’t dare to go”
"Teacher, I'm joking, but that movie is indeed very impactful. Given your age, it's okay not to watch it." Itou Shuichi took the teacup and responded with a smile.
"Haha, that's right too." The old man continued, "But for "Hot Blooded High School", because of its alternative interpretation of bad campus culture in the early stage, it may suffer during the selection."
"Well, we have actually considered this aspect, so we don't have much ambition for the best picture." Itou Shuichi explained, "After all, there is still "Antarctic Story" ahead."
"That?"
"Actually, we mainly want to work towards the two awards of Best Director and Best Actor." Itou Shuichi didn't know much about the selection process the year before last. This year, he has communicated a lot with the industry and already knows the twists and turns behind it. Go around.
"Ah, that's it." Machida Yaichi looked at Shuichi Itou, who can be said to be his most proud student at the moment, and said, "In that case, it just so happens that I have a few good friends who are film critics, and I will have a good chat with them. Talking about the shooting skills of "Hot Blood High School"!
Itou Shuichi stood up quickly and bowed deeply: "Thank you so much, teacher!"
Machida Yaichi smiled and shook his hand: "This is why Itou-kun's film is indeed a breakthrough in directorial skills! And some of the shots are really amazing."
"Everywhere, teachers teach well."
For a time, the office was full of compliments.
In the evening, Nagayama Naoki drove to Waseda University to pick up Tsuruko.
In the parking lot at the school gate, a black Toyota Century attracted a lot of attention, and young people in twos and threes would cast inquiring glances.
Tsuruko, who was wearing cotton-padded clothes, found the Toyota Century and hurriedly got into the car:
"Ni-chan. If someone I know saw it, they would think I was getting into some expensive car!"
"Haha, your brother is considered a rich man now." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Don't you have any other classmates today? Where is Junsui-chan?"
"She's with her boyfriend."
"Hahaha, so you are single!"
"Ni-chan, if you can't speak, don't speak."
On Christmas Eve, the streets and alleys of Tokyo are full of Christmas elements. Christmas music is played in many places, and beautiful light shows are organized in representative places such as Omotesando, Shibuya and Marunouchi.
The street trees on both sides of the street are covered with colorful lights. Countless light strips render the entire street the color of champagne, like a dream world. Even on a cold winter night, it makes people feel... Very warm.
Naoki Nagayama took Tsuruko to a Western restaurant in Shinjuku and ordered a special Christmas set meal.
"Can the two of us finish such a big turkey?" Tsuruko was very surprised when he looked at the huge turkey.
"If you can't finish it, pack it up and bring it to Taro Taro!" Nagayama Naoki didn't care at all and ate leisurely amid the sound of the piano in the store.
“What a luxury.”
"Tsuruko, when do you have a holiday?" Naoki Nagayama asked.
"Next Wednesday" Tsuruko's mouth was filled with chicken.
"Are you going to go back directly?"
"Of course not. Ni-chan and I will be together." Tsuruko's expression remained unchanged, "If we go back, it seems it will be difficult to stay at home."
"Yes, after having children, the house will be very noisy."
"It should be lively!"
"."
The brother and sister were eating a Christmas set meal on a busy commercial street. There were couples passing by outside the window. In this strange atmosphere, the conversations seemed warm and ordinary.
Near midnight, Nagayama Naoki dialed Akina's pager.
However, Akina’s call was not returned until early in the morning.
"Naoki-san?" Akina's somewhat apologetic voice came from the microphone, "Private Marseille, I just got home~"
Top idols are very busy during festivals!
Although most of the Christmas special programs are recorded in advance, there are still some programs that need to be broadcast live, and there are some celebrations that need to be attended on-site. It’s good to get home in the early morning!
"Ah, silly tape! I've just waited for this moment," Naoki Nagayama said with a smile in his voice, "Merry Christmas, Akina!"
Nakamori Akina felt a warm current flow through her heart: "Merry Christmas Naoki-sanya!"
"It's really hard work! It's Christmas and we still have to work," Naoki Nagayama sighed, "Akina, go look at the socks by the bed! Santa Claus has already put the gifts!"
"Eh?"
Nakamori Akina was very surprised and ran to the bed in the bedroom, looked at the sock that had not changed at all, then pinched it, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Inside the sock is a small gift box, which contains an exquisite women's platinum bracelet that shines charmingly on the snow-white wrist.
"Naoki-san, thank you for your gift! I like it so much!" Akina Nakamori returned to the phone and said happily, "Naoki-san, I also prepared a gift for you!"
"Oh? Where? What is it? Did Santa Claus deliver it?"
"Haha, I won't tell you," Akina Nakamori said mischievously, "You'll know until tomorrow morning!"
"Huh? It's actually quite appetizing."
After chatting affectionately for half an hour, Naoki Nagayama had to put down the phone because Akina would still be very busy tomorrow with announcements. If he didn't sleep, he wouldn't be able to get up tomorrow.
It actually exceeded the time. Oh, another wasted leave request!
