Chapter 1047: What a fair and equal treatment!!

After entering July, midsummer could be considered to have officially arrived.

Starting every morning, the intense sunlight baked this city of reinforced concrete, making people feel as if they were in a steamer.

At the same time, at the filming base in Ota Ward, the filming of a movie had entered its final stage.

The male lead, Hottan Kazuhiko, played by Zhang Guorong, was in a large venue, teaching hundreds of sales personnel.

This was after he had been investigated by the National Police Agency and served his sentence. His wealth had disappeared, and his youth had also passed. He was already a middle-aged man, but the glorious years of the past still left behind amazing spiritual wealth and experience.

He casually found a trainee in the front row and handed the pen in his pocket to him:

"Sell this pen to me!"

"Ah..." The trainee was obviously a bit nervous. "This is an excellent pen, you can use it to write..."

He saw him immediately take the pen from the trainee's hand and hand it to another trainee:

"Sell this pen to me!"

"..."

The experience of getting rich overnight told him a truth: if you want to earn wealth through trading, you must create demand!

This truth can be applied to everything from small street vendors in the market to global financial markets, and can even be used to infer the decision-making direction of world powers...

Why is there constant war around the world and frequent arms trading? Which country is pushing it behind the scenes? Who created this demand?

Now, Hottan Kazuhiko just wanted to spread this truth, and the method he used was this...

"Sell this pen to me!"

"Cut!"

Xu Mudao Xu shouted with a megaphone, praising:

"The eyes are perfect! The expression handling is also very good! This take passed!"

Zhang Guorong walked over and won applause from the actors and crew members, celebrating the smooth conclusion of this scene.

The cheerful atmosphere lasted for a short while, and then slowly quieted down. Everyone turned their eyes to the director of the crew, Xu Mudao Xu.

And at this time, Xu Mudao Xu looked around, feeling that his existence had never been so clear...

He raised his hand and shouted loudly:

"Minasan! *Tiger of Ginza* has wrapped up!"

After a moment of silence, the set instantly boiled over. Cheers, applause, and even firecrackers and confetti from the props team...

"Oh oh!! Wrapped up! " "Great! " "It's over! " "Going home~" "Going to prostitute! " "Finally finished filming..." "..."

Several months of high-intensity filming had left the entire crew very exhausted... and this was a big production, luxury car yacht party revelry, every item was a big scene, so the workload naturally increased greatly...

"Minasan!" Xu Mudao Xu clapped his hands to let everyone quiet down. "After work today, we have booked a club in Roppongi and arranged a wrap-up banquet... everyone can relax to their heart's content!"

"After tomorrow, most people can take a week off!" Xu Mudao Xu smiled. "So now, hurry up and pack up!"

"Banzai!!!" "Great! " "Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

For a time, the set began to become noisy, and all the crew members couldn't wait!

And at this time, Xiao Sen Xiaoshen Zhengxiao walked to Xu Mudao Xu's side:

"Xu Mudao... the footage for filming needs to be sent to the Tree Friend building..."

"Mm, that's for sure~" Xu Mudao Xu nodded. Although filming was completed, for directors and editors, the real test had just begun. "The previous footage has already been sent back, now there are only the film strips of the last few scenes..."

"That's good... we have to live in the company starting tomorrow~"

"Hahaha... the folding beds have already been arranged~"

Just when the two were chatting, Zhang Guorong walked over;

"Xiaoshen Zhengxiao-san, Director Xu Mudao..."

"Ah, Leslie~" Xu Mudao Xu was very satisfied with the male lead he had chosen. "What's wrong?"

"Due to scheduling reasons, I have to fly back to Hong Kong tonight..."

Zhang Guorong was a busy person. In order to film *Tiger of Ginza*, he had stayed in Japan for a long time. His records and other work in Hong Kong were calling him.

Liang Jiahui, who had no scenes in the later stages, had already gone back.

"Then the wrap-up banquet tonight?"

"I will still go... but I can't drink alcohol... and I can't stay too long..."

Zhang Guorong said,

"In the evening, will Naoki-san come over? I want to say goodbye to him in person..."

"Naoki-san~" Xu Mudao Xu scratched his cheek. He wasn't sure either. Now Naoki Nagayama was at home accompanying his wife, he didn't know if he could come out. "Naoki-san is not sure..."

"That's a real pity..."

"Haha, it doesn't matter, we will see each other during the promotion later!" Xiao Sen Xiaoshen Zhengxiao said. "Maybe we can even see Naoki-san's daughter in August..."

"Is Naoki-san's wife giving birth in August?"

"I heard the due date is at the end of July, or maybe early August. It's possible to be off by a week or two..."

Xiao Sen Xiaoshen Zhengxiao said,

"Anyway, by the time *Tiger of Ginza* is released, it will definitely be fine~"

"Haha, that's true~"

Zhang Guorong nodded. It didn't matter if he didn't see Naoki Nagayama this time. There would be plenty of opportunities later, like the disclosure meeting after editing was completed, promotion before release...

After the crew had packed up, Xiao Sen Xiaoshen Zhengxiao and Xu Mudao Xu took several leads back to the Tree Friend building. Before that, they had to convene the media for a production completion disclosure meeting... This was also one of the promotion steps before the movie was released.

With the current reputation of Tree Friend Film, reporters from all walks of life could naturally arrive with one phone call~

So when Xu Mudao Xu brought Zhang Guorong, Saejima Nao, and other actors in, the sound of shutters and flashes from numerous cameras greeted them.

After the host's guidance, Xu Mudao Xu, as the director, spoke first:

"Minasan..."

"Here, I want to reveal a piece of good news to everyone..."

"*Tiger of Ginza*'s filming work has been officially completed! Starting tomorrow, editing will begin."

Applause rang out, and the sound of camera shutters appeared again. The media recorded this moment.

"Director Xu Mudao, when will it be released?"

A reporter asked.

"Editing work is expected to be completed in July, and the release time should be in mid-August..." Xu Mudao Xu said. "The specific time will be announced at the completion disclosure meeting..."

"Arigato~"

The microphone was passed to another reporter, who aimed directly at the male lead:

"Mr. Zhang Guorong, as a foreigner, what was your biggest feeling during the filming of *Tiger of Ginza*? Was there any difficulty in communication?"

"I can speak Japanese! And I know Japan quite well..." Zhang Guorong smiled. "And the communication with the director was also very smooth..."

"If you talk about the biggest feeling... it should be the movie itself." Zhang Guorong joked. "The extravagance and dissipation of the rich in the plot make people feel the deepest... and the prosperity of Tokyo is also amazing..."

The previous movie promotion slogan had said that this was a movie of extravagance and dissipation, and some scenes were filmed during the set visit, so everyone was not surprised.

The next few questions were all related to the movie itself. Sure enough, these media outlets that were on good terms with Tree Friend were very face-saving...

"Director Xu Mudao... why didn't Naoki Nagayama come?"

"..." "Naoki-san has other things to be busy with..."

"I heard that the airship over Japan a few days ago was the plot filmed, is it based on Naoki Nagayama's story?"

Ever since Naoki Nagayama used this move for Akina, the behavior of airship love confessions in the sky has become the standard for rich people in Japan to fall in love, and it continues all year round... Even the crew needed to queue for the schedule when the weather was clear to film...

So they waited until the rainy season ended to finally film it...

"Haha, this..." Xu Mudao Xu smiled. "Since everyone knows it, I don't need to say it again~"

"Are there any other plots adapted from Naoki Nagayama?"

"..."

While *Tiger of Ginza* was having a lively press conference, a phone call was made to Shanyingyuan.

Once again, there are no secrets in the entertainment industry!

Tree Friend had negotiated with NTV to produce the new program *Voice of Japan*, and Fuji, TBS, Asahi, and other TV stations knew about it.

For insiders, the production and competition of variety shows had already rolled to a kind of open and transparent degree. Every production bureau knows your length, and I know your depth...

"Naoki-san~~~"

On the receiver was Sugira Tai of Fuji TV. This time, he didn't even need Xi Lumei to pass the message, and called directly.

"Fuji and Tree Friend are the best pair. We still have a five-year framework agreement!"

Tree Friend and Fuji had signed a framework agreement, and they needed to cooperate on at least one program every year!

"Ah... hasn't it expired yet?" Naoki Nagayama felt a bit embarrassed, like being caught by a childhood sweetheart when flirting with a girl from the sky.

"There's still one year left!"

"Ha~ hasn't this year's cooperation already been completed~" Naoki Nagayama quibbled. "*Tokyo Love Story* had very high ratings, didn't it!"

"..."

If you have to say it like that, it really didn't violate the framework agreement... but...

"Naoki-san, you are a shareholder of Fuji TV!" Sugira Tai's tone was full of resentment. "Why don't you consider Fuji TV first when there's something good!"

And then he played the emotional card: "Our past cooperation hasn't it always been very good? Why this time..."

"Sigh~~~"

Naoki Nagayama could only complain.

"Because Tree Friend has never cooperated with NTV... and people say we look down on NTV... Among the five major TV stations, we can't squeeze out one alone~"

"What's so great about NTV? If we look down on them, we look down on them~"

Sugira Tai muttered. Although Nippon TV was the earliest commercial TV station with old qualifications, it had felt lonely in recent years, and Fuji and TBS had completely suppressed it in ratings.

"..."

Naoki Nagayama could only persuade:

"Tai-san, Tree Friend just wants to develop well in the entertainment industry, so we must treat all TV stations equally... You should be able to understand this, right?"

"..."

Good, good, what a fair and equal treatment!

When filming dramas with Fuji before, they were intimate partners. Now that the newcomer has replaced the old, they are treated equally!

Sugira Tai wanted to complain, but from a commercial point of view, Tree Friend's choice had no mistakes... After all, Nippon TV is backed by the Yomiuri Shimbun, one of the monopoly media groups in Japan.

No matter how you look at it, they have to get along well~

"I understand, of course I understand!"

Naoki Nagayama could feel that the person on the other side seemed to be gritting his teeth, but he cleverly pretended not to know. Anyway, *Voice of Japan* had already been negotiated, and it couldn't be changed.

"Tai-san..." He started to change the subject. "This summer, does Fuji TV have any plans?"

"Just those from before, water parks, cool summer, bikini beaches, etc...."

Sugira Tai said casually. These were routine program plans. Although there was no novelty, the lively young girls were the best selling point, and they would definitely not lack attention.

"Omo series~" Naoki Nagayama nodded. "Are the new idols this year still very popular?"

"It's okay... Naoki-san, what do you mean by this?"

"Ah... I mean, there are more and more female idols in Japan, and I haven't seen any particularly outstanding ones now..." Naoki Nagayama said. "Maybe the audience hasn't discovered them either~"

"Is the market saturated?"

"Yes... prosperity leads to decline. Maybe there will be a trough in the next few years." Naoki Nagayama was still a shareholder of Fuji TV, so he gave a slight hint. "Tai-san, you can try to plan some new programs, find more powerful ones..."

Sugira Tai listened:

"... Hai, we will consider it~"

Next, it was naturally to go out for a drink, go to a club, and increase the relationship, etc., but Naoki Nagayama used his baby's upcoming birth as a shield to refuse.

When he hung up the phone, he happened to see Akina looking at him with a smile...

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing... just feeling that Naoki-san is very good at fooling people!"

"..." Naoki Nagayama sighed. "After hanging out in the entertainment industry, I became like this unconsciously~"

"Haha~"

Akina moved over and leaned on her husband, her arm stroking her increasingly large belly.

"In the future, should our daughter hang out in the entertainment industry?"

"It's up to her!" Naoki Nagayama reached out and patted gently. "If she likes it, she can go! If she doesn't like it, she won't!"

Some people just like the feeling of being in the spotlight, just like Akina when she was a child, who liked to stand in the C position when taking photos. Some people like to make a fortune in silence, and some people like to lie flat...

This is a natural personality. Naoki Nagayama doesn't know what his daughter will grow up to be, but no matter what she does, he supports it~

In a small seaside apartment in Kanagawa, there was also a couple, leaning on the sofa and watching the sea outside the balcony together.

"Sachiko, are you really going to Tokyo during summer vacation?"

"A famous magazine invited me to be a part-time model~" Sachiko Kamachi raised her long legs happily. "It just happens to be a holiday, and the pay is not low!"

"But if that's the case, I won't be able to see you~"

The man next to her hugged Sachiko Kamachi and said,

"What should I do if I miss you?"

"Haha, it's just to take a set of photos~ I'll be back soon~"

At this time, Sachiko Kamachi was still studying at Shoin University. She thought she was just going on a business trip and never thought about settling in Tokyo in the future.

Naturally, she wouldn't think that she would become a singer who swept Japan in the future~

"Shall we get married after you come back?"

The man asked with a smile.

"Baka~ How can we get married before graduating from university!"

Sachiko Kamachi hammered her boyfriend, but her expression didn't mean she was unwilling.

The man who got the affirmative reply settled down again, hugging Sachiko Kamachi and quietly enjoying the sunset on the sea.

After being quiet for a while, Sachiko Kamachi suddenly hummed a song...

"

Kimi ga suki da to sakibitai (I want to shout 'I love you')

Nanimo kamo nugisute (Don't care about anything)

"

It was surprisingly that song *I Want to Shout 'I Love You'*...

Last summer, Shizuka Kudo had already spread this song to every corner of Japan, and it was hot again, so this song returned to everyone's sight, and everyone could hum a few sentences...

Sachiko Kamachi's singing voice was clear and warm, full of infectious power, making it hard for others to forget after hearing it, especially the love contained in it, making people know at a glance that only those who are full of happiness can sing it.

At this time, Sachiko Kamachi was still enjoying a happy love~ ===== CHAPTER 1048 =====

At this time, Sachiko Kamachi was still enjoying her happy romance~
