Chapter 1015: Business worth millions just by opening one's mouth

Naoki Nagayama dived into the sedan in front. The next instant, Masataka Komori followed and dived in, and then Shizhi Kijima went to the front passenger seat.

"......"

Looking at this big disciple who was squeezing in with him, black lines appeared on Naoki Nagayama's forehead.

"Masataka-kun, there's no need to follow so closely, to squeeze so close!"

Masataka Komori had his reasons:

"If I don't get close, what if Naoki-san abandons Kijima and me again and goes out to party alone!"

"Didn't I say to let you come together~" Naoki Nagayama was helpless, "At least I should have this much credibility!"

"Yesterday you also said you wanted to rest in the room, but you still went to party in the most prosperous place in Hong Kong!"

"......"

Sigh~~~ Naoki Nagayama looked at Masataka Komori, who was disrespectful and a bit resentful, and had no choice.

Although he was the superior of the two in terms of status, because their ages were actually about the same, and he, Naoki Nagayama, didn't have the essential class thinking of Japanese people, they were like little brothers when they interacted in private~

And going out to play alone yesterday was indeed a bit unfair to the two...

"Sit straight! We're already in the car, I can't jump out of the car!"

"......" Masataka Komori thought about it and finally relaxed a little.

Now Naoki Nagayama was being picked up by TVB people to go to the Haicheng Restaurant Nightclub, the most popular Chinese-style nightclub at the moment.

"Naoki-san~"

Mrs. Fong came over personally, and also brought a woman who looked very capable.

"This is our TVB producer, Tsang Lai-chun... If there are any opportunities in the future, you can chat with her~"

"Mr. Nagayama... I am a TVB producer, Tsang Lai-chun... This is my business card~"

Naoki Nagayama nodded, took out a business card from his bosom and handed it over...

"This is my business card..."

In this era, there was no "you scan me or I scan you." Contact information mainly relied on business cards. What was written on Naoki Nagayama's business card was naturally his professional identity, Chairman of Tree Friend Co., Ltd., Naoki Nagayama...

Looking at it, this person must be Mrs. Fong's confidant, otherwise it would be impossible to bring her over to build connections now.

Then Naoki Nagayama naturally introduced Masataka Komori and Shizhi Kijima who followed him, telling Mrs. Fong that these two were outstanding young directors in the Japanese entertainment industry and also the backbone of Tree Friend.

After a round of bowing and greeting, both sides also exchanged business cards... This was considered opening up connections in Hong Kong~

"Naoki-san..." Speaking Japanese in Chinese was a bit strange, but in this era, mixing was a style, "Inviting you to the Haicheng Restaurant Nightclub, because there is a warm-up singing performance by Sister Paula Tsui tonight, you must not miss it!"

Paula Tsui, Sister Paula... In this era, she could be said to be one of the top female singers of the 80s. In 1984, she held 18 consecutive concerts at the Hong Kong Coliseum, all of which were full...

However, Naoki Nagayama had no impression of her. He had no intersection with this female singer in his past or present life, but it didn't prevent him from hearing the reputation of this female singer. Even Chow Yun-fat and Anita Mui were her fans.

How to put it, she might not be your idol, but she was the idol of your idol...

"Then I must appreciate it well..."

Naoki Nagayama followed Mrs. Fong to the reserved front-row seats. Cold dishes were already placed on the dining table, and even red wine had been opened and placed in a decanter.

"Naoki-san..." Mrs. Fong sat next to Naoki Nagayama, "I have already made an appointment with Andy and Fat-gor, but they will come over in a while... Let's get to know each other later..."

Mrs. Fong had said before that she would introduce male actors from the Hong Kong entertainment industry, but the current Chow Yun-fat and Andy Lau belonged to first-line stars, and their schedules were very busy, so they could only meet during their breaks.

"Thank you, Mrs. Fong~"

Naoki Nagayama raised his wine glass to express his gratitude, feeling that he would have to drink a lot of wine tonight...

With the arrival of night, there were more and more people in the Haicheng Restaurant Nightclub, and even the seats reserved for regular customers in the front row were gradually filled with big shots from all walks of life in Hong Kong, and Sister Paula's concert finally began.

Even without the assistance of various modern equipment, the stage art of the 80s absolutely wouldn't lose to the performances of future galas. With the music, the stage lights danced rhythmically.

The absolute protagonist on the stage, Paula Tsui, wore her iconic umbrella skirt, showing a slender waist and soft charm.

Seeing this scene, Naoki Nagayama's mind subconsciously recalled Akina's slender waist:

"If Akina wore this kind of umbrella skirt, it would definitely look good too~"

Opening with "In the Night Wind," the stage lights went from dim to gradually bright, and finally, the spotlight shone on Sister Paula, and the accompaniment also went from faint to rhythmic...

Like a lady playing and singing in the night wind, graceful and charming, walking to your side, telling you about the loneliness in her heart...

Sister Paula looked gentle and soft, but when she sang, her voice was sonorous and powerful, and she was another singer with a low-pitched voice.

Naoki Nagayama listened to the singing on the stage and couldn't help but nod along with the rhythm. It was said that Cantonese had nine tones, so singing was more harmonious and pleasant to hear. Sure enough, it was even more fascinating to listen to live!

As the song ended, the applause at the scene almost blew the roof off, and even Masataka Komori and Shizhi Kijima, who couldn't understand the lyrics, kept clapping...

"Thank you all for coming..."

Paula Tsui expressed her gratitude to everyone on the stage, thanking everyone for their support while specifically thanking several big shots for their flower baskets. One flower basket cost tens of thousands, which wasn't something ordinary people could afford!

Actually, it was just like the habit of reading out the names of the big brothers who sent luxury gifts in future live broadcast rooms. Sure enough, the habit of thanking the top-tier brothers had been passed down for a long time!

"Today is a beautiful night. It is fate that we can gather together. I hope we can spend this joyful moment together..."

Next was "Flowing and Counter-current," which was the most popular recently...

Just as Naoki Nagayama was listening to the song, a man and a woman walked over quietly. When they sat next to this table, Naoki Nagayama recognized that it was the very tall Chow Yun-fat.

After the song ended, Mrs. Fong introduced in a low voice:

"This is Chow Yun-fat... the son of Hong Kong!"

"Director Nagayama, nice to meet you!" Fat-gor also walked to the side, holding a red wine glass and greeting, "Sorry for being late... I'll punish myself with a glass!"

"It's okay, it's okay~" Naoki Nagayama shook his head, "Very happy to meet you!"

Mrs. Fong smoothed things over: "Watch the performance first, let him apologize when there's a break..."

"Definitely, definitely..."

Fat-gor laughed and sat back in his seat, whispering to the female companion he brought.

The Haicheng Restaurant Nightclub served Chinese food. When the performance entered the break, everyone started eating, drinking, and toasting.

Naoki Nagayama also learned that the person Fat-gor brought was his current girlfriend, Jasmine Tan, the future Mrs. Fat.

"What has Mr. Chow been busy with recently?" Naoki Nagayama asked curiously.

"Filming a movie... called 'A Better Tomorrow'." Chow Yun-fat didn't mean to hide it, saying directly, "It is expected to be released in a while!"

Then he explained the plot of this movie in detail...

"Ah... 'A Better Tomorrow'"

Naoki Nagayama smacked his lips. This movie also had many classic lines, things like "I haven't been a big brother for many years," "I will take back what I lost myself"...

This movie didn't seem to have been recalled, but the lines and such were already old jokes, and they had spread too widely later.

"Sounds very interesting, it must be a good movie... I wonder if it will be released in Japan?"

"Uh... seems there's no such thought for now..."

Chow Yun-fat was stunned. In this era, most movies were spread from Japan to Asia. Hong Kong movies were at most distributed to Taiwan, and very few entered the Japanese market.

However, Naoki Nagayama felt that this movie would also have a market in Japan:

"Why not let Tree Friend, under my name, take the lead and buy the distribution rights for this movie in Japan?"

"Ah?"

Chow Yun-fat was very surprised by this proposal. Although he had seen many company bosses, someone who opened his mouth to buy the distribution rights for a certain region after hearing a few words was too much of a child's play!

This amount wasn't a small number, at least several million Hong Kong dollars!

He could only subconsciously reply:

"The amount for purchasing distribution rights is huge, don't you need to consider it?"

Mrs. Fong said with a smile on the side:

"Fat-gor, don't look at Naoki-san's young face, he is the chairman of the Tree Friend Group in Japan, richer than Mr. Shaw. A mere few million Hong Kong dollars is nothing..."

Chow Yun-fat seriously sized up the handsome guy in front of him who was even younger than him. Originally, he acted in movies, the box office was a big hit, he won the Golden Horse Award, and his fame exploded, thinking he was already a dragon among men among the young...

But compared to the person opposite, he seemed to be the small country that was arrogant and ignorant...

"Mr. Nagayama, regarding the distribution rights, why don't I act as an intermediary and make an appointment with Mr. Karl Maka of Cinema City to chat?"

Chow Yun-fat didn't have much say in these distribution rights either, so he could only bring out Karl Maka of Cinema City.

"Okay, I will be in Hong Kong for these few days..." Naoki Nagayama nodded, "But I'm going back this weekend..."

"I will as soon as possible..." Fat-gor nodded, but in his heart, he decided to slip out and call Karl Maka in a while.

To think that he could talk about a business while eating, drinking, and having fun. Mona Fong and Tsang Lai-chun saw Naoki Nagayama's wealth and his absolute control over Tree Friend even more. Business worth millions was decided just by opening his mouth...

The atmosphere at this round table became more and more enthusiastic, and they toasted frequently.

Under the influence of alcohol, there was constant laughter in the Haicheng Restaurant Nightclub, and the whole environment was very happy and relaxed.

Just when the people at Naoki Nagayama's table were eating, drinking, and chatting, a very familiar person walked over. With the flush of alcohol on his face, he came over and looked very familiar:

"Fat-gor, Mrs. Fong... saw you from afar... so happy!"

Leslie Cheung... looked like a refined handsome guy.

"Leslie, you came to see the performance today too!" Mrs. Fong greeted with a smile, clearly very familiar with him.

"Yes... drank with friends..."

"Leslie~" Fat-gor greeted with a smile and introduced to Leslie Cheung, "This is Mr. Naoki Nagayama from Japan, who says he wants to buy the Japanese distribution rights for our 'A Better Tomorrow'!"

"Naoki Nagayama?"

Leslie Cheung was currently focusing on his singing career and paid a lot of attention to the Japanese music circle, especially his most famous "Wind Continues to Blow" and "Monica" were covers of Japanese songs.

And Naoki Nagayama was the one who married the most popular idol singer in Japan, Akina Nakamori!

"Leslie, long time no see~" Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "I'm Naoki Nagayama!"

"Nice to meet you~" Leslie Cheung reached out to shake hands very unexpectedly, "Mr. Nagayama's name is like thunder to my ears... 'Snow Flower', 'Sakura Sakura Want to See You', etc., are amazing!"

"Not at all~ Leslie's 'Wind Continues to Blow' is impressive..."

The two praised each other a little and immediately became familiar.

Meeting an interesting person, Leslie Cheung, who had a very enthusiastic personality, sat at this table and started chatting with everyone:

"Why did Mr. Nagayama come to Hong Kong?"

Mrs. Fong said on the side:

"Naoki-san came over this time to select actors for a new movie..."

"Yes, the next movie of our Tree Friend this year is called 'Tiger of Ginza'... because it needs to play the appearance of different periods such as young and middle-aged, and it needs to go from young and proud to later frustration... need to find an actor with excellent acting skills, but the age cannot be very large, at most twenty-something..."

Naoki Nagayama explained slightly, and introduced the two directors who came with him,

"These two are Masataka Komori and Shizhi Kijima... they will be responsible for the production of this movie..."

They didn't speak Cantonese or Chinese, but Leslie Cheung used Japanese to greet them, so they had a purely Japanese-style greeting.

"Nice to meet you, please take care of me..." X2

Next, they could also communicate in English, which allowed Masataka Komori and Shizhi Kijima, who hadn't been able to communicate with others all night, to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

As a big star, Leslie Cheung could definitely be considered sophisticated. After he started talking, no one at the table was left out, and the atmosphere of this table never went down.

"Has Naoki-san already chosen the actor after coming this time?"

"Not yet, I have auditioned some today, and there are some suitable candidates... There are other candidates later!"

"Haha, I have also seen several young people with potential in the entertainment industry, can you give them a chance when the time comes?"

"Of course, of course~"

And on the other side, Shizhi Kijima stared at his face and sized him up, and said to Leslie Cheung:

"Leslie, I think he is a very young and handsome person, looking very consistent with the role, why not try it yourself?"

"I'm already over thirty!" Leslie Cheung said with a smile.

Leslie Cheung was already thirty years old, and his main business was currently in singing, so he didn't want to fight for the opportunity himself, only saying he would introduce others.

"Eh? Can't tell at all?!"

"Hahaha~ baby face~"

However, Shizhi Kijima seemed to have taken a fancy to him. After a while, he turned his head and suggested to Naoki Nagayama seriously:

"Naoki-san, why not let Leslie try? I think he is full of youthful spirit, and it's no problem to play a role in his twenties..."

"Hmm..."

Naoki Nagayama looked at Leslie Cheung, who was chatting and laughing with Mrs. Fong, and nodded:

"It's not appropriate to say it now. After the banquet, leave your business card with him... We will definitely be able to meet later!"

"Hai!"

After the performance at the Haicheng Restaurant Nightclub ended, Mrs. Fong took Naoki Nagayama and the others to turn to the next venue, the characteristic performances on Wan Chai Street, the bars in Mong Kok...

Having said that she would take people to tour Hong Kong well tonight, she naturally had already made arrangements, and even thoughtfully called a few more female companions to accompany them.

As a woman, she didn't have any taboos about this. In this era, entertaining guests had to be done like this!

It was just that what did it mean to surround Naoki Nagayama... Really unprofessional! ===== CHAPTER 1016 =====
