Chapter 928 937, Who Ruined the Company's Culture? ! !

After dealing with a group of reporters, Naoki Nagayama returned to the office again.

Looking at the sunshine outside, he sighed:

"Even if you are so rich, you still have to work. It is really difficult for the rich generation to enjoy happiness, but it is really annoying that their own sons or daughters are the only ones!"

After relaxing for a while, Nagayama Naoki picked up the "Nihon Keizai Shimbun" on the table and flipped through it to see if there was any latest news from Finance Minister Neon. Then he picked up the American "Wall Street Journal" and read it carefully. , understand the latest international economic information.

The Plaza Accord will be signed soon, and American economists are advocating to make the dollar less strong and reduce the U.S. deficit.

"There are still a few days." Nagayama Naoki crossed his hands on the work table, chin hidden behind his hands, and made Commander Ikari's exclusive meditative posture, "Won Taisang has gone to the United States and is always paying attention to the operations of the investment manager. .There shouldn’t be any problems.”

But after all, it is a fortune of 200 million U.S. dollars, so Nagayama Naoki still cares about it.

"During this period, just call me every day when the market opens."

Looking at the economic news on the desktop, it seems that the correction of history is real. Major historical nodes have not shifted much. The butterfly effect does not seem so scary. Naoki Nagayama is very satisfied with the scale of his future wealth. .

"Dong dong dong"

While Nagayama Naoki was daydreaming, there was a knock on the office door, but he didn't open the door and walked in. It didn't look like Shuichi-san or Otomo-san.

"Please come in~"

The person who walked in was Masataka Komori. Isn't this guy promoting "Umi Street Diary"?

"Naoki-san!" Masataka Komori said with a pitiful expression on his face, "I'm back."

"Uh," Nagayama Naoki said strangely, "Why do you look so pitiful? Aren't you promoting "Umi Street Diary"? You should be in Shikoku now."

"Ah, nothing will happen without me over there!" Masataka Komori shook his head, sat on the sofa and sighed, "Most of the road show promotion has been completed, and only Yuki-chan and Chikoko-chan will be there in the next city. That’s it. Anyway, I’m just a little famous director~”

"."

Hmm, it sounds a bit like resenting women!

Nagayama Naoki looked at this guy in amusement. You have to know that showing pity to your boss means either asking for help or ruining the matter. Now, just wait to see how he performs!

"."

Komori Masataka didn't hear Nagayama Naoki's response. He raised his head and looked at Nagayama Naoki, only to find that their eyes collided. This was very embarrassing.

"Ahem, Naoki-san." Komori Masataka's face has not yet developed, and he was still a little stiff when changing the topic, "I heard when I came back that Kijima-kun's "101 Proposals" is about to start filming? "

"Yeah~ I just finished the production disclosure meeting." Nagayama Naoki replied briefly and concisely.

"Well, I also heard that Shuichi-san is also working on a new movie project?" Masataka Komori continued.

"The script for "The Man with Zero Existence" seems to have been perfected!"

"I also heard," Masataka Komori mustered up his courage, "Naoki-san is also going to make a family gangster movie?"

"Well," Naoki Nagayama didn't hide it, "'Hayato: New World' is indeed based on my grandfather's experience. It may have started filming earlier than Shuichi-san's movie."

After telling Masataka Komori everything, Naoki Nagayama issued a soul torture:

"So. What's wrong? Masataka-kun?!"

"Naoki-san!!!" Masataka Komori screamed miserably, "Am I not included in the three films at the end of the year?! I am your number one disciple (loyal dog)!!"

"."

Naoki Nagayama rubbed his temples helplessly.

"First of all, I have never had an apprentice. Second, didn't you just finish filming "Haijie Diary"?! The box office in the first month is expected to have exceeded 300 million, what else do you want?!"

“There are still three months until the end of the year! Everyone has something to shoot, but I don’t!!!”

Komori Masataka forcibly assigned the title to Nagayama Naoki, slapping the table and pretending to be heartbroken.

"Master!! I want to make a movie!!!"

"."I'm not Coach Anxi!

Nagayama Naoki looked at Komori Masataka's disrespectful performance and sighed. Who brought down the corporate culture of Shuyou Group? !

Why are everyone so thick-skinned? !

"stop fighting!"

Naoki Nagayama also patted the table, causing Masataka Komori to take it back and sit upright obediently, waiting to listen to the teachings~

Looking at the current situation, if Naoki Nagayama doesn't have a good explanation, this guy seems to be stuck in the office!

"Masaka-kun~"

"Hi!"

"It's not that we won't allocate projects to you," Nagayama Naoki comforted, "it's true that we don't have any on hand!"

"."

Komori Masataka didn't say anything, and only looked over with a resentful look. Isn't it just a matter of Naoki-san's words?

Apart from anything else, Naoki-san's little treasury is already a secret among tree friends!

"Besides, we have to hold the Tokyo International Film Festival in October, which is a very heavy task!"

"We, Shuyu Pictures, only have three crew members. Kijima-kun, me, and Shuichi-san have already made reservations. There is no one left~"

"Three films in such a short period of time by the end of the year are enough for tree friends~"

"Masaka-kun, you have been working hard on "Haijie Diary" for half a year. It's time to take a good rest. You and your wife have only been married for a year, so you should spend time with her~"

"."

Seeing Komori Masataka's unmoved expression, Naoki Nagayama also became a little angry. He originally wanted to scold him, but he had a happy expression on his face, which made him unable to curse.

If you want to drive him out, this guy actually starts the show of complaining again and pouring out your inner anguish. He almost ends up crying, making a fuss and hanging himself.

In short, I can't drive him away no matter what.

Let me say it again, who is responsible for the bad corporate culture of Shuyou? ! !

"." Nagayama Naoki tapped his fingers on the desk, finally unable to bear it anymore, "Okay, okay, you want to make a movie, right?!"

"I'll let you take the photo!"

"I have a movie called "Battle Royale" here that I can let you try!" Nagayama Naoki said with a grin, "But this is a movie that is somewhat inconsistent with the trends of modern society. If you are willing, just go and make it!"

"But if the pictures don't sell well," Naoki Nagayama said, "Masataka-kun, you can treat me like a bull and a horse in the next few decades and make good compensation!"

"Hi!!"

Komori Masataka agreed without hesitation, without any fear at all!

What a joke, under the lifetime employment system, he, Komori Masataka, was originally going to be a bully and a horse for you Naoki Nagayama in Shuyou for the next few decades! ! ! Not to mention that tree friends are treated very well~

Besides, the script written by Nagayama Naoki, even if the sales are not good, still has a box office of hundreds of millions!

In other production companies, this would already be considered the best movie of the year!

And "Battle Royale", as you can tell from the name, is a battle royale type of movie, just like "Squidward Game", but a new type of movie! ! !

As a new director, I should be able to laugh out loud if I can try this new type of movie!

In short, Masataka Komori stood up with a satisfied face and walked out of the office:

"Then Naoki-san, I'm going to report to Shuichi-san about the crew assignments and preparations for the subsequent filming. I believe there will be a solution!"

It's not a big deal to hire more people.

"It is expected." Komori Masataka estimated the time, "Let's start shooting in November, which will give us a good start at the beginning of next year!"

".Get Out!"

"Hi!"

As the temperature drops, more and more people are getting ready to travel in Neon.

The Cherry Blossom Festival in spring, the Fireworks Parade in summer, and the red leaf hunting in autumn are naturally very good travel routes, but at other times, it is also a very good choice to avoid popular tourist routes and peak crowds.

Many migrant workers have chosen to take annual leave during this period, preparing to take advantage of the lukewarm weather to visit some scenic spots.

At this time, "Late Night Canteen" was spreading more and more widely among the migrant workers~

"It should be here, right?"

As an ordinary social worker, Sakaguchi Keizo took annual leave despite his busy schedule and finally came to the small town of Shizuoka~

I originally came to see Mount Fuji, but suddenly I got hungry and thought that "Midnight Diner" was nearby, so I had the idea of ​​​​taking a look.

The izakaya opened by the eldest brother Aoki and his father Nagayama Ken had originally restored its original hours, but there were a lot of people who couldn't help but come to check in. And they all came in the middle of the night.

So I had to start a shift with my father working the day shift and my eldest brother Aoki working the night shift.

I thought that after the craze of this TV series had passed, I could return to my original routine. Fortunately, the izakaya was not big, so it was no problem for me to be alone. When I was busy at dinner, I just asked my mother Nanako to come and help me a little.

In this month or so, when the broadcast of "Late Night Diner" ends, there will definitely be fewer people coming to check in.

When night falls, the lanterns in the "Late Night Canteen" are lit, signaling that the place has begun to open from late night to early morning.

"Boss~" Sakaguchi Keizo, with a business smile on his face, opened the door and walked in. His eyes lit up when he saw his eldest brother Nagayama Aoki, "It's really you, boss!"

".Well, it's me~"

At the beginning, Nagayama Aoki wanted to explain, but these guys who came to check in didn't stop at all and just regarded him as a character in "Late Night Diner".

Gradually, he stopped explaining. Maintaining a cold demeanor saved a lot of things.

"Can we cook the menu on "Midnight Diner"?!"

"Hey, as long as I know how to do it, it's fine." Big brother Aoki said without hesitation, "Today's recommendation is chazuke rice."

"Chazuke rice? It's the dish from the third episode!" Sakaguchi Keizo's face was full of joy, "You are so lucky, let's have one!"

"Please wait a moment."

Nagayama Aoki silently began to prepare the food. For a while, some silent guests in the izakaya seemed not used to such an atmosphere, and began to chat with Aoki casually:

"Boss, is there really a strip club near here?"

"."

The corner of Nagayama Aoki's mouth twitched. Guests who come to the izakaya will most likely ask this question.

"No, this is just a small city. Some clips in "Midnight Diner" were grafted. The shooting location was actually in other places, such as Kabukicho in Tokyo."

"That's it~"

Sakaguchi Keizo nodded. He also knew the shooting techniques.

"So there are no Yakuza gangsters nearby? Like Xiaolong?"

"Yakuza elements can be found everywhere," Nagayama Aoki didn't hide it. In this era, the Yamaguchi-gumi was very powerful, and other Yakuza groups were also rampant, and they couldn't be banned in big cities.

However, the police departments in big cities are also very powerful, at least on the surface there are not so many Yakuza incidents.

Sakaguchi Keizo seemed to be in a mood for conversation, looked at Nagayama Aoki and said:

"Actually, a group of us were discussing while watching "Midnight Diner" that the owner of this izakaya must have a Yakuza background. He has scars on his face and is very proficient in holding a knife."

"Ah, boss, where's your scar?" Sakaguchi Keizo looked at Nagayama Aoki and asked in surprise.

"That's a prop."

"So, boss, you have nothing to do with the Yakuza?"

"."

In fact, I can't say it doesn't matter. After all, my biological grandfather is the leader of the Yakuza Club. Do I have to tell you?

Sakaguchi Keizan's face stiffened for a moment, then he scratched his head and laughed:

"I knew that reality is different from TV! I even ran over excitedly to look for "Late Night Diner".

Isn't it a bit ridiculous? ! "

At this time, Sakaguchi Keizo was still looking at Nagayama Aoki with a smile, just like he put on a smile every day to face annoying customers, stupid bosses, verbose girlfriends, and a cold life.

"At least the food is the same! How about keeping it simple? Like this bowl of Ochazuke."

Nagayama Aoki served Chazuke rice while comforting him. The white rice was soaked in brown tea and covered with black seaweed, green parsley, and red umeboshi. It looked refreshing and delicious.

“Chazuke rice, please use it slowly”

"Ah, Arigado~"

Sakaguchi Keizo was somewhat flattered and took the Ochazuke rice. At this moment, the boss of "Midnight Diner" seemed to have really appeared in reality.

He carefully picked up the rice with chopsticks and put some ingredients into his mouth. The warm rice was soaked with the bitterness of the tea. After chewing, it had a little sweetness of the rice and the sweetness of the tea leaves.

The freshness of seaweed, the pungency of celery, and the salty and sweetness of plums blend together and spread out in the mouth in a chaotic way, just like different tastes of life.

While eating big mouthfuls, Sakaguchi Keizo seemed to suddenly choke and cough. Nagayama Aoki quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to him~

"Hahaha, I can choke on tea and rice~" Sakaguchi Keizo's expression was a little distorted at this time, and he couldn't tell whether he was laughing or crying, "Hahaha~ What a useless guy."

"Hahaha~"

"Haha. Woo."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Suddenly burst into tears

Nagayama Aoki's body is a little tight, but his mentality is still relatively calm.

This is not the first time that a customer has vented his emotions in the store. It’s just that this customer went a little too far.

Neon is a very repressive society. Although the economy is developing rapidly, the workers who are one of the parts have always maintained high pressure.

Be respectful to your superiors, be courteous to your customers, and be responsible for your family.

As a man, you should work hard, work to support your family, and maintain the toughness of a Showa man, bleeding without shedding tears.

In this era, psychiatrists are not that common. The pressure accumulated in the hearts of social animals can only be released by going to custom shops, nightclubs, etc.

If you don’t have much money, you can either drink or keep it in your heart.

Maybe at some moment the final straw will come to you: sleep on the railway or hang a hanging in the forest.

Even more powerful, he took out the homemade famous gun Abe Kiri from his bag and forcibly exchanged it with the Prime Minister.

Those who can watch midnight movies are mostly social workers who work a lot of overtime.

They saw a warm place like "Midnight Diner" and saw that everyone could chat with the boss about the hardships in life in this small izakaya, so naturally they were full of yearning for this place.

And many of the guys who can follow the TV signal to find them are actually already full of stress~

So I felt that the scene was similar to that on TV, and I couldn't help but take on the role, treating myself as an ordinary diner in "Late Night Diner".

Some people chatted with Nagayama Aoki about trivial matters, some guests cursed, and some drank.

However, this person looks ordinary, but it is indeed rare to cry after eating tea and rice!

"Okay, okay, there's nothing that can't be overcome."

Nagayama Aoki gently comforted the diners without doing anything unnecessary. He knew that these diners would return to normal after venting their emotions and would give generous tips. It felt like "Midnight Diner", which is open at midnight, has become a psychological clinic. Same!

Naoki-san. Why is it so weird to film a TV series? !

Yongshan Aoki watched helplessly as another guest arrived.

This guy's eyes were already filled with tears as soon as he came in~

"When will this trouble end?"

It’s a wonderful day again~
