Chapter 1019: There are no wives in wife cakes!!

The employees in the Tree Friend building were very happy today.

Not only because Naoki Nagayama was back, but also because every time Nagayama-san went out, he would bring back souvenirs for the company's employees...

Although because there were so many people, it might just be a bag of local specialty candies or specialty snacks, or small crafts, but this is the behavior of a boss treating you like family!

Who would bring gifts to unrelated people?!

So this time, while the employees in the Tree Friend building were happily eating Hong Kong-style wife cakes, they learned a useless piece of trivia...

There are no wives in wife cakes!!

So don't think about buying them home and breaking them open, expecting one to jump out...

"Heard from Komori-san that they had a great time in Hong Kong this time!"

A colleague from the Film Division said,

"Said the cultural atmosphere in Hong Kong is strong, the locals are enthusiastic and speak well... took good care of them both..."

"Honto?" A colleague next to him asked suspiciously, "Why do I feel like they lost weight after coming back?"

"Too tired, said they had to audition during the day!"

"Oh oh oh, really hard work~"

"I want to go to Hong Kong when I have a vacation in the future!"

"..."

And Naoki Nagayama, who had already arrived at Yoshimura Otomo's office, naturally didn't hear the discussion of these employees, otherwise he would definitely complain about the decadent life of Masataka Komori and Kijima Kyo in Hong Kong!

In the office, he gave the high-end tea leaves bought from Hong Kong to Yoshimura Otomo. In this era, Hong Kong is a window for China to the outside world, and famous tea leaves from the mainland are transported to Hong Kong for sale.

"This is Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao, said to be picked from the mother tree on the cliff, only a few pounds a year..."

Naoki Nagayama naturally knew this was the tea merchant's boasting. There were only a few Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao mother trees, and the tea leaves picked had long been internally digested. How could they flow out!

However, this didn't prevent him from using this gimmick to raise the value of the gifts he brought back~

"Oh? Then I have to taste it..."

Hearing this, Yoshimura Otomo immediately spread out the tea set in the office, unpacked the exquisite packaging that looked expensive, and carefully clamped a little with wooden clips, starting to make tea...

Speaking of which, this set of pretentious tea sets was also a gift from Naoki Nagayama, made of rosewood, with water filtration and tea pets, and purple clay teapots and cups... The steps to make a cup of tea were very complicated.

Although it was different from the simple and withered Zen tea preferred in Japan, Japanese tea ceremony was learned from China after all. This set of etiquette made people feel profound and Zen-like, and it had become a necessity for Yoshimura Otomo to entertain guests.

After all, being chosen by so many bosses in the future, it must have its unique features!

So not long after, the two drank the bright red tea soup together and let out a satisfied sigh...

"It's really good tea..." Yoshimura Otomo tasted it for a while, then asked, "Did Nagayama-san decide after going to Hong Kong this time?"

"Didn't I say, there are two candidates for the male lead..."

Naoki Nagayama said,

"Still have to come to Japan to make the final decision..."

"I mean, who to film 'Tiger of Ginza'..." Yoshimura Otomo continued, "Should have made up your mind, Masataka Komori and Kijima Kyo, who is the director, who is the producer..."

"Ah... this!"

Naoki Nagayama nodded,

"It has indeed been decided. As for the director, Kijima-kun will still serve, and as for Komori-kun, his ability is more comprehensive..."

"Then let's decide it like this..."

Yoshimura Otomo didn't raise any objections after learning the decision,

"Before the movie project is established, tell them this decision..."

In fact, in the future, Kijima Kyo will take the technical route, while Masataka Komori will enter the management route...

The company is getting bigger and bigger, and the classification of positions is getting more and more detailed. When it was a small company before, Naoki Nagayama and Ito Shuichi Ito both held two responsibilities.

After finishing this matter, Naoki Nagayama asked about the Tokyo International Film Festival mentioned yesterday.

"The preparatory work for the Tokyo International Film Festival should be able to start..." Yoshimura Otomo said, "This time, the preparation time may be longer than the last time..."

"Hmm? Why?" Reasonably, with the experience of the last time, this time should be faster.

"Because the effect of the first session was too good, so there is more preparatory work for the second Tokyo International Film Festival..."

Yoshimura Otomo said something counter-intuitive.

During the first session, with Naoki Nagayama leading, everything was based on successful holding, and the personnel organization was not too complicated, and the preparation process was very concise, so it was completed in just a few months.

But during the second session, wanting to be more standardized and wanting the effect to be more successful, the procedures became cumbersome, and there would be more third parties, fourth parties, and even Nth parties wanting to participate.

Just selling advertising space requires gathering advertisers together for bidding, especially for title sponsorship, which is even more of a fight!

Just like the first Spring Festival Gala, the first time using live broadcast, live improvisation, and even live song requests, panda circus performances, the dedicated lines were blown up, accidents kept happening on the scene, it looked wild and uninhibited, very sloppy, but the effect was good, creating a viewership rate as high as 84%.

Then the second Spring Festival Gala began to become regular and organized, program flow, hosts, and even fixed programs appeared, and even 'Unforgettable Tonight' became a fixed song, and the viewership rate was 80%.

"Ah... is it so troublesome?"

Naoki Nagayama scratched his head. Hearing Yoshimura Otomo say that the Tokyo municipal government also wants to participate, he felt even more troublesome...

"Originally thought it was a film festival activity within the industry, with Nagayama-san, a Palme d'Or winner, leading, at most the momentum would be a bit bigger... The first session was actually waiting and seeing in some aspects..."

Yoshimura Otomo also sighed,

"Once the influence came out, they had to come up..."

"Since the end of the last session, some people have been asking when the next one will open. Since the beginning of the year, some people have been asking if the preparatory work has started..."

"Hahaha, it seems the second session really has a lot of things..."

Naoki Nagayama is very glad now that he sold the broadcast rights to Fuji during the first session, otherwise he might be intervened by NHK now.

"Then we have to start holding meetings of the preparatory committee, and it is possible to increase members... and rules and regulations also need to be customized..."

"Hmm, we have to start getting busy again!"

"It's me who has to start getting busy again!!"

Already accustomed to Tree Friend's division of labor, the main trivial matters still need Yoshimura Otomo to stare at, including dealing with various forces~

"Ah... that..."

Naoki Nagayama felt a bit guilty, hurriedly filled Yoshimura Otomo's cup,

"Otomo-san, come... drink tea, drink tea!"

The two continued to chat in the office for a while, and Naoki Nagayama left the Tree Friend building and headed to the filming base in Ota Ward.

The filming crew rested for a whole week, but the broadcast of 'Tokyo Love Story' never stopped. Now it has reached the second half of the plot, and there is only one episode of leeway.

The current office workers will stay on Fuji TV's channel at 8 or 9 o'clock every Monday night, waiting for the latest episode. If it is suddenly said that it will be skipped, the TV station's dedicated line will be blown up!

"Nagayama-san, you're here!"

Muneo Matsuo and Tomoyuki Nishimoto waited early at the gate of the park, and finally waited for Naoki Nagayama's car.

"Hmm, why are you at the door?"

Naoki Nagayama was a bit surprised, but still said,

"Don't worry, there are souvenirs, I'll give them to you when I get to the set."

"..."

The two looked at each other, slightly embarrassed. They weren't waiting here for a few gifts, they actually wanted to know about the role selection, after all, 'Tiger of Ginza' is a project that both of them need to participate in.

But for a moment, they were made speechless by Naoki Nagayama.

"But since you are already here, why don't you help me carry it over!"

Seeing two free laborers, not using them would be a waste, Naoki Nagayama handed a bag of gifts from the back seat to the two...

After parking the car and arriving at the set, Naoki Nagayama already saw the crew eating wife cakes~

"Nagayama-san!" "Nagayama-san good~" "Nagayama-san hard work!"

"..."

Strange but enthusiastic greetings came together, and Naoki Nagayama could only wave with a smile, starting to greet everyone,

"Minasan, how was your rest this week, did you go anywhere to play?"

"Oh? Actually got married during this time?! Oh my, I must make up for the wedding gift..."

"..."

After the initial enthusiasm subsided, Kanako Higuchi, Honami Suzuki, and several other leads walked over, listening to Naoki Nagayama's instructions.

"Filming is about to start, is everyone rusty?"

"It's better to say that the spirit is refreshed!"

Honami Suzuki laughed, making everyone feel her infinite vitality,

"Starting the performance immediately is no problem at all!"

"Then it's up to you!" Naoki Nagayama smiled and encouraged, "The viewership rate of our 'Tokyo Love Story' has been steadily rising, I estimate that there might be a final explosion in the last few episodes."

"When Nagao Kanji finally chooses Sekiguchi Satomi..."

Naoki Nagayama looked at Kanako Higuchi and the actor playing Nagao Kanji,

"There might still be a lot of dissatisfied voices... You need to be prepared."

In fact, filming a TV series is the same as writing a novel, both are very risky. Jin Yong was sent blades by many readers because of the plot of Xiaolongnü being forced, and Chen Qitai, who played Yin Zhiping, was hated by countless people~

Similarly, there is the author Conan Doyle who wrote Sherlock Holmes to death, and the actor Li Mingqi who played Rong Momo...

"..."

Nagao Kanji looked at Naoki Nagayama helplessly. This character of his was clearly shaped by Nagayama-san!

And Kanako Higuchi on the side shrugged innocently. Who is to blame for being beautiful...

"In short, after eating the wife cakes, everyone get ready and start today's filming..."

"Hai!" X5

"Nagayama-san..."

After the lecture ended, Kanako Higuchi ate snacks next to Naoki Nagayama and chatted casually:

"Is there anything fun in Hong Kong?"

"Many are similar to Tokyo... but there are many places with Chinese characteristics there... for example, Wong Tai Sin Temple..."

Naoki Nagayama picked some interesting parts to tell Kanako Higuchi. After all, except for the ambiguous scandals, his relationship with Kanako Higuchi was quite good.

Besides, he always talks a bit more with beautiful girls~

"Their performance at the Hong Kong Coliseum is also very exciting, the equipment and venue are better than the Budokan..."

The Hong Kong Coliseum was built and put into use only last year, while the Budokan is a building from more than 20 years ago. Naturally, the materials and equipment are much newer, and the performance effect is also very good.

Kanako Higuchi listened silently to Naoki Nagayama's narration, showing a curious look, and giving a response from time to time, making people feel like a little fan girl.

Kijima Kyo, who was also on the set, shrank his body and stared tightly at the small window of the camera again...

Hesitating in his heart whether to report to his boss's main wife~~~

"If I notify Akina-san, will Nagayama-san directly let me direct 'Tiger of Ginza'... The power of pillow talk should be great..."

"But if I help Nagayama-san hide it, maybe I can let Nagayama-san see me as a confidant!"

"... This is really hard to handle!"

The matter of Rika Akana being transferred to Los Angeles has already been known by Nagao Kanji,

At this stage, Nagao Kanji's feelings for Sekiguchi Satomi have gone a step further, and he is hesitant between her and Rika Akana.

Facing Rika Akana's enthusiastic feelings, he finally chose to retreat.

"But you are so capable, for you, going to Los Angeles might be the best choice."

"How can I stop you!"

"How can I tie you up!"

In the company's small office, Nagao Kanji said this righteously.

The scene where his senior at the company chatted with him and said that if he wanted to break up with his girlfriend, he should let her go to the United States, floated before his eyes.

And Rika Akana retorted:

"How can you say tie up, for me now... Kanji-kun..."

Before Rika Akana could finish speaking, Nagao Kanji continued:

"Even if you don't think so now, one day, you will definitely regret not going~"

And Rika Akana was very confused. Is it a strange thing to hope that a boyfriend will persuade her not to leave him? Why does Nagao Kanji look like he wants her to leave...

Then she found out, Nagao Kanji's next words:

"Asking me to decide your future for you is too heavy for me, I don't have the courage to continue with you..."

"I want to give up, please don't make it difficult for me!

You give me up!"

This is the routine of a scumbag!

For your own good, let's break up!!

Attributing all the reasons to the other party, and although he is the one who proposed to break up, he stands on the moral high ground!!!

Rika Akana was broken up with just like that...

"Cut! Stop for a second..."

Naoki Nagayama is the one who wrote this plot, so naturally he didn't have so many feelings, and called cut after this shot was finished.

"Rika-chan, when you slap Nagao Kanji in the middle, you can use more force! You were just stroking him just now..."

"Eh?"

Honami Suzuki was a bit shy,

"But I already used a lot of force..."

"Use more force, the person opposite is the scumbag who just proposed to break up with you! No need to show mercy!"

Naoki Nagayama's words made others on the set laugh, while Nagao Kanji helplessly touched his face. Although his skin was dark and it couldn't be seen, this woman's hand was actually not light... it was red...

But he didn't dare to say anything on the set...

"And..." Naoki Nagayama continued to guide Honami Suzuki, "The expression with tears in your eyes, that kind of feeling of being wronged and wanting to cry, but stubbornly not being able to cry..."

"Hai!"

For actors, tears are naturally coming as they please!

"That's good... everyone get ready..." Naoki Nagayama waved his hand to signal the crew to start recording again, "Ready... Action!"

So... "Slap"...

This time, the sound of Nagao Kanji being slapped could be heard from several meters away~ ===== CHAPTER 1020 =====
