Chapter 10: The first house in life, bought in the Showa era

The screen test for advertisements is different from movies and TV dramas, and does not require too many performance factors.

Tomo Yoshimura directly drove Naoki Nagayama to a studio. Inside, a group of people were taking photos for magazines. Several little sisters had seductive poses. Tomo Yoshimura went up directly and asked: "Hello, may I ask if Producer Yin Tang is here?"

One of the field staff replied: "Otomo-kun, you're here. Producer Yin Tang is in the office."

"Arigato, I brought a new advertising model and want to ask him to look over it. Is it possible now?"

"Okay, I'll ask Yin Tang-san for instructions." The field staff walked to the backstage skillfully, and after a while, called Tomo Yoshimura over.

Naoki Nagayama stayed in the studio and watched the photo shoot with relish. Before, it was all in magazines. Unexpectedly, he could see the live version this time.

After a while, the field staff came to invite Naoki Nagayama to the backstage again. The small door of the backstage office was ajar, and he could hear a voice saying: "Otomo-san, this is already the 5th one. If it's not suitable again, the entrusting party will be angry~" "Shuichi-san, this time I am absolutely very confident, believe that this model will definitely satisfy the entrusting party!"

Naoki Nagayama shouted "Sorry to bother you", and then pushed the door and entered. A middle-aged man with long hair and a small beard, who looked very literary, was complaining to Tomo Yoshimura.

Seeing that the person had arrived, Tomo Yoshimura introduced: "Naoki-kun, this is the advertising producer Yin Tang Shuichi, who is also a part-time director."

"Hai, nice to meet you, I am Naoki Nagayama. Please take care of me~" He bowed honestly. Eh? Seemed like he didn't bow at all when he met Tomo Yoshimura?

Yin Tang Shuichi saw the refreshing and handsome Naoki Nagayama and his eyes lit up. This temperament, which was different from the Showa era, was like a clear spring born in a rocky beach.

However, he was well-informed in the photography industry after all, and he replied flatly: "Hai, Nagayama-kun, nice to meet you~"

Then he went straight to the point, "I heard from Otomo-san that you have never shot an advertisement before?"

"Hai, this is the first time."

"Then how can you guarantee to shoot an excellent soda advertisement?"

How to guarantee? The responsibility is on my side? Naoki Nagayama noticed the concept-swapping of the producer in front of him. Sure enough, he is an old workplace person.

"As a newcomer, I can only guarantee to shoot the advertisement with all my strength, and I still have to rely on the rich experience of Yin Tang-kun and the staff."

A Tai Chi push-hand test, both sides knew the depth.

"Nagayama-kun's image is very suitable for the needs of this advertisement. I implore Shuichi-san to give him a chance. He won't let you down." Related to the year-end bonus, Tomo Yoshimura pushed with all his strength.

"Alright, since Otomo-san said so, let's shoot the sample film starting tomorrow. Is there any problem with the time, Nagayama-kun?"

"No problem, anytime is fine."

"Good, please take out 200% effort by then. If I am not satisfied, I will not send it to the entrusting party for review!"

"Hai!"

From the conversation, it can be seen that Yin Tang Shuichi actually recognized Naoki Nagayama's image, otherwise he would not have agreed to shoot so readily. However, having been a producer for so long, of course, he knew that controlling the set required suppressing employees and establishing authority.

Back in the car, Tomo Yoshimura breathed a sigh of relief. Having been in this industry for so long, of course, he knew the energy of the producer in the project. Several previous models were actually rejected by Yin Tang Shuichi here.

"Nagayama-san, let's go to the agency next to discuss the contract."

"Hai." Naoki Nagayama said in his heart, finally reaching the most critical moment. However, having passed the preliminary review, if no major problems occur, the advantage of the negotiation will be on his side.

The details of the discussion were very boring, nothing more than a process of pushing and yielding. However, if the advantage was on Naoki Nagayama's side, it was just a difference between earning more or earning more.

Finally, Naoki Nagayama participated in the advertising shooting as an individual third party. In addition to shooting, he did not need to participate in other work. The split with the agency was 3:7, which could be said to be very high. Generally, celebrities are invited at this ratio.

The total cost of this advertising project was about 20 million. In the end, it was about 6 million yen. Earning a year's salary of a part-time worker in a week~

For a period of time, Naoki Nagayama was very busy. There were no modernized sets and computer technology. Most of the advertisements in the Showa era had to rely on real-scene shooting.

The content of the advertisement was actually very simple. The protagonist plants a green plum tree, and after it grows and bears fruit, he picks a green plum, but it turns into soda in his hand.

But it's December now... The green plum season has long passed.

Sure enough, the agency still had some ability. They found green plum planting bases in different locations, and even found greenhouse experimental varieties that were bearing fruit in the botanical research institute...

However, if you want to shoot, you have to run around.

Fortunately, all the shooting tasks were completed within half a month, just waiting for the editing and then the review of the entrusting party.

During the period, Naoki Nagayama also took time to handle the real estate transaction. Because it was full payment, the property deed could be handled within 2 weeks.

The first house Naoki Nagayama bought in his life was actually in the Showa era.

The weather is getting colder!

Festive decorations began to appear on the street, and people talking also began to discuss the New Year's holiday.

In a little more than a week, Showa 55 is about to end.

Yesterday, Keiko Fujita sent the property deed of the new house. Naoki Nagayama prepared to clean it up in these two days and move in.

"Makino-san, this is this month's rent." At lunch, Naoki Nagayama took an envelope and handed it to Mrs. Makino. "The property deed has come down, I might not continue to rent here next."

"Ara, so fast?"

Having talked about buying a house with Mrs. Makino before, Mrs. Makino felt a bit emotional, but she was more happy for Naoki Nagayama.

"Nagayama-san is really amazing~ Settled down at such a young age!"

"You are over-praising, thank you for your care for such a long time! Thank you for your hard work!"

"Not at all..."

Genta Nakai next to him heard it, "Nani nani? Have you already got it? Is the house beautiful? Can I go play?"

"Of course, I was just about to invite you. Let's go play the cleaning game in the afternoon~ Hahaha." After getting along for this period of time, the two had become good friends.

"Koso~ Who wants to play the cleaning game with you~" Genta Nakai complained, "You life winner who bought a house at such a young age, kora yaro."

"Who told you to spend all your money on finding young women in Roppongi~" Naoki Nagayama retorted, "Be careful I tell Suzumi-chan, you hateful playboy!"

"How come, don't talk nonsense, I'll sue you for defamation..." While denying three times, he muttered in a low voice, "Clearly I haven't gone since I had Suzumi-san..." In early December, Genta Nakai and Suzumi Hoshino finally determined their relationship.

"Then you can also buy a house, clearly just save the gift money!" Naoki Nagayama didn't understand.

"Why buy? Just rent a house, the job hasn't been determined yet, and daily expenses also need money~"

Young people in various countries are really the same enjoyment faction. Before housing prices rise, no one wants to buy a house, until housing prices rise to the point where they can't afford it, and they are forced to give up buying a house...

Finally, under Naoki Nagayama's "coercion", Genta Nakai agreed to help clean up in the afternoon, and brought Suzumi Hoshino along... ===== CHAPTER 11 =====
