Chapter 1008: Can a paper person give birth to a child for you?! Akina can!

Kazumasa Oda has been very popular recently.

Originally, because of *Suddenly Love*, his fame soared. After *Tokyo Love Story* started broadcasting on the TV station, the popularity of the theme song soared again, and the fame of the singer naturally rose with the tide.

Even his band, OFFCOURSE, became famous among underground bands, and now reservations for their performances need to be snatched.

"If this continues, we will soon be able to hold a concert at the Budokan!"

The band's drummer looked forward to it while drinking.

Speaking of which, they all performed in underground bands before and sold some records they engraved themselves to fans... But this year, they signed with Tree Friend, and they can officially release albums!

"Budokan... that's still quite far!" Kazumasa Oda's face showed a smile, "But maybe we can participate in the Song Festival this year!"

"What Song Festival?"

"Of course it's the three major Song Festivals!"

"Oh ho ho! That's for sure!"

"Cheers!"

"....."

It was the time when he was proud of himself, and everyone in the band was naturally very optimistic. However, at this time, Kazumasa Oda met Tetsuya Komuro, who was in charge of Tree Friend's music label.

"Oda Kazumasa-san..." Tetsuya Komuro was a bit decadent, and his tone was a bit perfunctory, "Since you have joined Tree Friend, some things need to be told to you properly..."

"Hai!" Kazumasa Oda sat upright.

"The artists and singers signed by Tree Friend have an unwritten rule on the surface..."

Tetsuya Komuro seemed to be joking,

"That is, when you first debut, Naoki-san will create a song for you, and they are all very excellent, generally able to rank in the top ten of the charts as a golden song..."

Seeing the joy on Kazumasa Oda's face, Tetsuya Komuro then said the fact that made his heart shake.

"However, next, Naoki-san won't give you songs! He won't even care about you~"

"In other words, everything next has to rely on yourself..."

"Ah, no, it's to rely on ourselves!"

"??? Honto?"

"This is a fact... Naoki-san... is like a god in the sky, seeing someone pitiful on the ground, just threw a bone..."

Tetsuya Komuro said this sourly...

As the music person in charge of Tree Friend, helping Yutaka Ozaki operate the label, he had released several albums and achieved very great sales results, and was a well-known musician in the industry.

But at Tree Friend, he always maintained a humble attitude and didn't dare to be proud at all.

Because there will always be a Naoki Nagayama above his head, who is higher than he can climb...

The gold content of every song is a classic song...

The pressure this guy brings to musicians, family members, who can understand!

"Cough cough..." Tetsuya Komuro coughed and continued to say to Kazumasa Oda, "I heard that Oda-san is also a singer-songwriter, so show me your previous songs first... I'll understand your style first, and then we'll create new songs based on the style..."

"Don't worry, since we are on the same boat, we will support each other in the future!"

"At least take all the newcomer awards of all music competitions this year..."

"......"

Kazumasa Oda inexplicably felt that this music person in charge with a decadent face was a bit too confident!

Tetsuya Komuro clearly noticed the guy's eyes opposite, and said helplessly:

"Don't look at me like this at Tree Friend. If I go out, I'm still a gold-medal music producer!"

"It's just a newcomer award, I can take them all casually!"

"....." Kazumasa Oda didn't dare to refute, "Then this *Suddenly Love*..."

"Will be your debut single..." Tetsuya Komuro said, "Make the first album this month, and take advantage of the popularity to sprint for a million-selling album..."

"..... Hai!"

How come I feel that Tree Friend's music department is so confident~

Naoki Nagayama didn't care much about his own music department. He didn't go to the Ota Ward filming base today, but returned to the Tree Friend Building to start editing the new episode.

"Tsk tsk tsk~~~"

Tomoyuki Nishimoto, who was helping, sighed while processing the material,

"In the TV series, urban men and women, how come it feels like they can go to bed after looking at each other... They don't even need to cultivate feelings..."

Munao Matsuo said on the side:

"This is the love of adults, it's simple in the first place!"

"Who said that... clearly you have to eat first, watch a movie, then walk and send gifts... only then is it possible to enter the house..."

Tomoyuki Nishimoto babbled about whose experience it was, and shook his head from time to time, as if trying to shake off the failed examples...

"......"

Munao Matsuo stopped talking. As a director, even if he doesn't engage in any unspoken rules at Tree Friend, it's still very simple to just pick up someone at a bar, make an appointment, etc.!

Shouldn't this be the daily operation of young people in big cities?

Look at Naoki-san next to you, he must be very knowledgeable about these, otherwise how could he write a script like *Tokyo Love Story*~

The content of this episode is exactly that Rika Akana quarreled with colleagues to defend Kanji Nagao. Kanji Nagao wanted to comfort Rika Akana, but didn't expect that they actually went to bed...

However, Rika Akana later thought that Kanji Nagao had a relationship with her because of the blow of a broken heart, and Kanji Nagao didn't need to be responsible at all...

"Really... makes people envious..."

Munao Matsuo had to say that Kanji Nagao was too scummy after finishing the editing!

"Naoki-san...." Looking at the script, Tomoyuki Nishimoto said to Naoki Nagayama, "The content of this episode is almost finished..."

"Yeah~"

Naoki Nagayama checked it one last time to make sure there was nothing else to change in this episode, and then stood up and stretched.

Editing work is really too hard. It's better to cultivate more subordinates and hand over the work to them! As long as you do a good job of guidance and move your mouth!

"Munao-kun, Nishimoto-kun, you go to the film technology factory to copy the master tape, and then send it to Fuji TV..."

Naoki Nagayama instructed the two,

"The person who connected before has met, right..."

"Hai, I know!" Tomoyuki Nishimoto nodded.

"Yeah, let's do that~ Take a break this weekend, and continue filming next Monday!"

"Hai!" X2

Having entered the regular filming period, filming and producing one episode per week, Naoki Nagayama didn't need to continue to squeeze the crew's rest time, at least he could rest for one day per week.

After coming out of the editing room, Naoki Nagayama returned to his office and leaned on the soft boss chair.

"Ah~~~ comfortable~"

Feeling the soft support of his back and the relaxation of his body, Naoki Nagayama slumped on the chair relaxedly... and even felt a bit sleepy~

However, at this time, the office door was knocked!

"Dong dong!"

"......."

Naoki Nagayama didn't want to pay attention, thinking that the guy outside would leave if he thought there was no one.

However...

"Dong dong!"

"Dong dong!"

"......."

What a subordinate who doesn't know how to read the air!

"Come in!"

As the words were finished, the office door was pushed open, and Masataka Komori and Xu Mudao Xu walked in, fighting with each other.

Directly handed the photos in their hands to Naoki Nagayama's desk!

"Naoki-san!" Masataka Komori said anxiously, "This is the actor I found suitable for the male lead of *Tiger of Ginza*! Look, there are Yutaka Nanjo, Shiro Namiki, Kazuya Fujita..."

Xu Mudao Xu didn't give in, and immediately pointed to his candidate and said:

"Naoki-san, I think Tomokazu Miura is more suitable for the handsome image, and Yoshio Harada has more temperament..."

"Clearly my candidate is more dashing and handsome!"

"My candidate has better temperament!"

"....."

Both of them were introducing the handsome male actors they chose in front of Naoki Nagayama, and neither would give in.

Naoki Nagayama looked at the photos on the desk. They were all handsome male actors famous in the entertainment industry now, and each of them was very outstanding in terms of acting and image.

However, due to the unspoken rules of the film industry now, almost all male actors have to hone their acting skills and accumulate qualifications... so most of them were over thirty when they became famous...

"These... are all a bit old!"

Naoki Nagayama looked at the two directors and said,

"Aren't there any younger ones? You have to know that *Tiger of Ginza* said it was famous at a young age... only then can it be filmed with a sense of refreshment!"

"Famous at a young age..."

Masataka Komori and Xu Mudao Xu looked at each other. The most outstanding ones who became famous at a young age must be male idols!

Currently, the most famous male idols in Japan are all in Johnny's...

"Naoki-san, are you talking to Johnny's agency?"

"..... Uh, not what I meant..."

Naoki Nagayama hurriedly shook his head. After all, the prototype of this *Tiger of Ginza* was largely himself. If he let Johnny's male idols act, he would be a bit disgusted. After all, those idols were all... by Kitagawa...

Thinking of this, Naoki Nagayama suddenly looked up:

"Don't be limited to Japan, you can look for it from an international perspective... Actors in Hong Kong, Taiwan and other regions are not impossible..."

In this era, the entertainment circles of Hong Kong and Taiwan are closely connected with Japan, and many stars are also very famous in Japan.

When saying this, he was actually thinking, has Leon Lai debuted now? After all, in terms of appearance, he made Naoki Nagayama feel threatened~

"Hai... Then we will look for it again!"

Masataka Komori seemed to understand, nodded repeatedly, and pulled Xu Mudao Xu out of the office.

Seeing the relevant personnel go out, Naoki Nagayama slumped again~

Just when Naoki Nagayama thought he could continue to slack off and rest, the office door was knocked again... and then pushed open directly!

"Naoki-san!"

Yin Tangxiu walked in just like that~

"......."

Sigh~~ It seems that I can't slack off today!

"Shuichi-san...." Naoki Nagayama sat up straight again, "What's wrong?"

"Regarding the material you gave to the animation studio before..." Yin Tangxiu handed over some manuscript paper and some setting text content, "These feel very messy..."

Naoki Nagayama saw some images sketched on the manuscript paper, including the image of Totoro from *My Neighbor Totoro*, the Unit 01 from *Neon Genesis Evangelion*, and even the Titan from *Attack on Titan*...

These were all sketched out after he recalled them, but he himself is not a painter, so he could only use sketches to outline some protagonist prototypes and images with characteristics.

And then after finding the people in the animation studio, he sent them all over, letting them look at the reference. Anyway, they are manga artists, maybe they can draw the original work?

It's not that he doesn't want to make animation, it's just that making animation is too troublesome... He doesn't want to be a machine for drawing!

"Ah..."

Naoki Nagayama scratched his head,

"This is just occasional inspiration, drawn casually... to enrich the material for them, thinking it might be useful in the future..."

"What's wrong?"

Yin Tangxiu sat on the sofa, poured a glass of cold water and drank it, then sighed:

"I went to see the animation studio invested and established before these few days... Although the young people inside seem to be very talented, the whole studio is like a headless fly..."

"Since its establishment, it has only drawn some hot-blooded manga... and some draft materials..."

They are manga artists themselves, this is their job, and drawing manga based on movies is very simple!

"Hahaha, other things are too busy, I have never wanted to manage it..."

What can Naoki Nagayama say?

On a whim, and then forgot?

Just like many company bosses, built a project on a whim, and then threw it aside and let the subordinates handle it? And the subordinates didn't dare to give up, so they could only struggle to maintain...

"Hmm~"

Yin Tangxiu didn't mean to blame too much, anyway, investing a few million yen was just a small amount of money.

"However, this year, I want to try animated movies, so I went to see the studio..."

"Now I want to ask Naoki-san, do you have any opinions."

Naoki Nagayama was very excited when he heard this, and a smile appeared on his face:

"Of course no problem!"

"Animated movies will definitely be the sign of Japanese movies in the future!"

"From the current *Doraemon* series, as well as the previous *Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind*, we can see that people's acceptance of animated movies is very high, and the box office of animated movies in the future can exceed that of live-action movies!"

Decades later, anime movies are the sign of Japanese movies!

Yin Tangxiu looked at Naoki Nagayama with some surprise:

"Is Naoki-san so confident in animated movies? Then why didn't you try to produce one before?"

"Because...." Naoki Nagayama scratched his cheek awkwardly, "It's troublesome..."

"....."

Yin Tangxiu showed dead fish eyes,

"Naoki-san, say it again? I didn't hear clearly...."

"Hahaha~"

Naoki Nagayama laughed,

"Actually, my drawing skills are not good... and I don't want to draw things all day..."

Although the two-dimensional world is wonderful and the paper people are cute, I am also wonderful in the three-dimensional world now!

And where can paper people compare to my own Akina?!

Akina can give birth to a child for me! Can paper people do it?

"Being an animation director doesn't mean drawing pictures all day...." Yin Tangxiu wanted to refute, "Just supervise the quality!"

"But the whole movie still needs someone who understands manga and animation to be responsible for the overall style and quality of the animated movie!" Naoki Nagayama said.

Every big-selling movie must have a director who understands animation as the core!

Osamu Tezuka, Makoto Shinkai, Hayao Miyazaki.....

"Shuichi-san, to make an animated movie, you first need to find this talent!"

Yin Tangxiu nodded and asked:

"Are Yoshihiro Togashi and Gosho Aoyama, whom Naoki-san recruited before, not okay?"

"......" Old thief... Naoki Nagayama nodded and shook his head, "They should be reliable manga artists, but as directors, it might not work..."

"So that's it!"

Yin Tangxiu stood up, his face becoming serious,

"It seems I looked at animated movies too simply before!"

"Naoki-san, I decided to go to the animation departments of Toho and Toei for training..." Yin Tangxiu's voice lowered a bit, "It's best to dig up some talents..."

"Uh..... if you can do it, it's fine... but everyone knows you, right? Will they let you in?"

When saying this, Yin Tangxiu looked at Naoki Nagayama in surprise:

"As long as our Tree Friend invests in one of their movies, won't it be fine... At that time, just be stationed as a supervisor in the capacity of relevant personnel, so no one will say anything..."

"Investing in Toho and Toei's movies won't lose money, maybe you can make a small profit..."

Yin Tangxiu summarized in one sentence:

"You must know, our Tree Friend is now one of the biggest rich people in the entertainment industry! Our Tree Friend is not short of money!!"

"......"

Well, this sentence "not short of money" is quite confident!

However, Naoki Nagayama was also looking forward to it. If his own animation department can really stand up, what "Evangelion", "The Garden of Words", "Anohana"...

Can they all come out in advance?! Maybe I can see the masterpieces of the previous life before the millennium!

Suddenly I have a feeling of wanting to watch anime!! ===== CHAPTER 1009 =====
