Chapter 1060: Akina, you understand me!!

Regarding the film *Tiger of Ginza*, the promotion in the newspapers was overwhelming.

Some said it made their blood boil, some said it opened their eyes, some said this film was very inspiring, and some said this film was a reflection of current reality...

There were also articles saying that this film was not suitable for children to watch and might corrupt their values.

In short, among the numerous voices, there was basically no negative talk about the film... After all, there were only a few influential media outlets, and given Shu-You Films' status, they didn't dare to publish any negative reports casually.

Not to mention, the quality of this film was indeed quite good~

At the dining table in Shanyingyuan, Akina was looking at the reports about the film. One of them said, "The plot in the film is said to be based on a successful person in reality, and the extravagant life after having money is admirable"...

"A successful person in reality!" Akina's gaze toward Naoki Nagayama was a bit sharp. "Hehehe, Naoki-san, you wouldn't happen to know who this successful person is, would you?!"

"Nonsense, complete nonsense!" Naoki Nagayama said righteously. "This was a script created from scratch!! I was on the scene at the time, how could I not know?"

"Then Naoki-san... how come the routine of buying luxury cars, abandoning the original wife, and chasing girls is so familiar?"

"That's a coincidence!!!"

"Hehehe~~"

"Akina, you know me, I've only ever had you as a girlfriend!"

"......"

Akina stopped talking. She had to admit that as a young, promising, and wealthy handsome man, Naoki Nagayama was indeed rarely loyal in his relationships. Those gossip news reports about "playboy Naoki" were just baseless rumors.

Akina nodded with satisfaction, acknowledging Naoki Nagayama's character.

"Naoki-san, didn't you say you wanted to watch the movie at home before? I want to see *Tiger of Ginza* that everyone is seeing!"

"Ah... that's right." Naoki Nagayama remembered his promise. "I'll go to the company today and get the master tape."

As the big boss of Shu-You, getting the master tape was naturally not a problem at all.

"Hai, arigato~"

Akina kissed Naoki Nagayama on the cheek with a smile, then got up to see the baby in her crib.

As her body gradually recovered, Akina now liked to carry the baby around the room whenever she wasn't sleeping, not wanting to put her down for even a moment.

The way she smiled while teasing the baby was becoming more and more maternal~

Under the intense sun, driving a convertible was a bit too sunny, driving a Toyota Century was a bit too stuffy, and the ordinary AE86 seemed a bit unworthy of his current status...

Naoki Nagayama thought about *Tiger of Ginza*, which had already been previewed, and thought for a moment...

"Should I buy a Ferrari, or a Rolls-Royce?"

"Hmm, I'll call the dealer to ask when I get back..."

After almost half a month, Naoki Nagayama finally came to the Shu-You building again.

When the receptionist, Xing Jiahua, saw him, she was full of surprise:

"Naoki-san, you finally came to the company!!"

"Haha, did Hua-chan think I would never come over again?" Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, then suddenly thought of something. "... Ah, Hua-chan, it's going to be a bit strange when I call you in the future... Haha, my daughter is named Naoki Xia Hua, and her nickname is also Hua-chan~"

"......"

Does this mean you want me to call you Papa?!

Xing Jiahua's mouth twitched, but she quickly adjusted:

"Flowers are a symbol of beauty, and anyone nicknamed Hua-chan will definitely grow up to be a great beauty!"

Seeing Xing Jiahua flip her wavy hair, clearly boasting about being a great beauty, Naoki Nagayama sighed:

"Hua-chan, I just love that confident look of yours!"

Then he greeted Suzuki Xingxia Suzuki and headed toward the elevator.

He didn't actually plan to stay long, so he went straight to Ito Shuichi Yin Tang's office, but couldn't find anyone, so he turned to Otomo Yoshimura's office:

"Otomo-san!"

"Ah... someone who has been hiding finally shows up!" Otomo Yoshimura teased. "How come you're willing to put down your little Xia Hua and run to the company today?"

"Haha, Akina isn't convenient to go out, so I wanted to come and get the tape of *Tiger of Ginza* to take home and play for Akina~"

Naoki Nagayama didn't intend to hide it and said it directly,

"I just went to Ito Shuichi-san's office to find him for the key, but he wasn't there?"

"He's naturally taking care of the screening matters for *Tiger of Ginza* now... he went to negotiate with the Toho theater chain again..."

"Eh? Didn't we already negotiate with the Aeon theater chain?" Naoki Nagayama was surprised. "Aeon and Kadokawa are investors too!"

"We want to sell a bit more at the box office~"

Otomo Yoshimura explained,

"After all, it's a commercial film... making more money is the hard truth."

"I see..." Naoki Nagayama nodded. "The copies of the film should be finished, the master tape is already stored in the small warehouse, right?"

On the floor of the film editing room in the Shu-You building, there was a storage room with a security door, which was specifically used to store the master tapes of previous films.

"Hai, it's there." Otomo Yoshimura coordinated all the big and small affairs of Shu-You, so naturally, he knew about these things.

"That's good... Otomo-san, you have a key too, give it to me quickly..." Naoki Nagayama laughed. "I'll go get it and go back to Shanyingyuan!"

"....."

Otomo Yoshimura wanted to hit someone... Naoki Nagayama, how come you can't go three sentences without talking about going home?!

How long have you been at the company, has it even been ten minutes?!

There are so many other things, are you not going to care about them at all?!

"There are only three keys to that place, one is with you, one is with Ito Shuichi-san, and one is with the General Affairs Section Chief!"

Otomo Yoshimura said irritably,

"You have to go to the office to get it yourself!"

"A daughter-slave, huh..." Fujiwara Ikkyu chuckled; the daughter-slave phenomenon has always existed.

Yoshimura Otomo shook his head: "I'm worried that he doesn't even care about the filming of the entire 'Voice of Neon' anymore..."

"Hahaha, that's a real pity... there are contestants with great potential; I even wanted Naoki-san to sign them directly~" Fujiwara Ikkyu laughed, "Several agencies have planted spies among the extras, and they are all eyeing them covetously!"

Shuyou made a big splash producing a talent show, so naturally, large agencies are very concerned. It doesn't matter if it hasn't aired yet; their connections in the entertainment industry are everywhere, and it's very normal to plant a few people among the extras.

"Are there any good prospects?"

"There is a contestant named Kamachi Sachiko, who was the first contestant to have all the mentors turn around and light up their lights... It would be best if Shuyou could sign her in advance..."

"Then I'll have Daotian Yamin-kun keep an eye on it..."

As the managing CEO of the Shuyou Group, he naturally wouldn't personally meet a newcomer.

As they were talking, the elevator had already reached the first floor:

"Otomo-san, where are you going?"

"Ah... the preview for 'Tiger of Ginza' is about to start, isn't it? I have to go show my face at 'Bungeiza'..."

"'Tiger of Ginza', huh!"

"Yeah... quite a few people are coming!"

Fujiwara Ikkyu walked to the entrance and bowed slightly:

"Then, Otomo-san, I'll take my leave first..."

"Good work..."

At the entrance of Bungeiza, car after car pulled up and left.

In the lobby, Itou Ito Shuichi was socializing with acquaintances from the entertainment industry, and the main creative team, including Komori Masataka and Kijima Xu, had all made their appearances; the camera shutters of the media reporters on the scene never stopped.

Even various television stations sent program groups to record the performance of this preview...

As a key project for Shuyou Film, "Tiger of Ginza" is naturally worth such a large promotional offensive.

"Machida-sensei... welcome..."

Itou Ito Shuichi saw his mentor and hurriedly went up to greet him, then pulled Komori Masataka and Kijima Xu over to talk,

"Masataka-kun and Kijima-kun, Sensei should have heard of them..."

"Ha, Director Komori and Director Kijima... young talents in the film circle, of course I know them..."

These two are both people who have won major awards in the film circle and already have their own fame. If it weren't for Naoki Nagayama and Itou Ito Shuichi pressing down on them at Shuyou, the two of them could already be called famous directors in the film circle.

"Not at all, we are just newcomers in the film industry..." Komori Masataka said modestly.

Kijima Xu also complimented:

"Machida-sensei has always been the direction we learn from..."

Itou Ito Shuichi called Matsuo Matsuo Munao and Nishimoto Tomoyuki over; these two are the true direct disciples:

"Sensei... the juniors who joined Shuyou Film before are now the co-screenwriters and executive directors of 'Tiger of Ginza'..."

"Machida-professor..." X2

Both of them were very cordial when they saw their university professor.

"Haha, the younger generation is to be feared, the younger generation is to be feared!"

Machida Yasutomo laughed and joked with Itou Ito Shuichi; both of them were his students and have now established a foundation in the film industry, and the power of the Tokyo University of the Arts faction has grown again.

Several people were happily discussing the situation of the film, and as time passed, there were more and more people in the lobby.

When Yoshimura Otomo arrived, the entrance was full of reporters filming, and he already had to go in through the employee passage at the back door.

"Ito Shuichi-san!" Yoshimura Otomo walked up and greeted Itou Ito Shuichi, "Looks like everyone is about to arrive..."

"Yeah~"

Yoshimura Otomo said while greeting acquaintances in the industry,

"Are there any other big shots I need to go meet?"

"Ah... several representatives from the investors..."

"Tiger of Ginza" is a purely commercial film. Besides Shuyou's own investment, this film has several other investors, such as the Film Promotion Association and the Aeon Cinema chain, etc. These are all relationships that Yoshimura Otomo needs to maintain.

"Hai, then I'll go meet them right away..."

Yoshimura Otomo nodded and went to look for where these people were.

As the time for the preview drew closer, many guests also walked into the screening hall to wait for the film to start.

"Tiger of Ginza" began its promotion before filming even started, and even the casting caused a stir, not to mention the later posters, press releases, and trailers, etc. Everyone had actually been looking forward to this film for a long time.

The lights in the screening hall dimmed, and the big screen lit up...

The film officially began screening!

On the screen, the male lead, Hotta Kazuhiko, played by Leslie Cheung, was driving a super-luxury Ferrari alone on the highway, enjoying the speed and passion at breakneck speed...

Oh no!

The male lead is not alone! He brought a female companion! And at this moment, the female companion who should be sitting in the passenger seat turned to the side, revealing her snow-white back, and was leaning her head down on the male lead's body...

"Wow~" "Hohoho~" "This..."

Although there was no frontal shot, every adult knows what that is!

The audience at the scene widened their eyes...

What is this?! Is this something I should be watching?! Is this something I can watch in a movie theater?!

Is the first scene this stimulating?!

Although they didn't want to admit it, some of the male audience members with rich imaginations subconsciously straightened their bodies and awkwardly adjusted their sitting posture.

Right at the beginning of the film, "Tiger of Ginza" gave the audience at the scene a bit of Shuyou shock!

This is a bit too bold!!!

With the voice-over narration, in the following plot, the audience began to understand the story of this legendary protagonist!

The male lead of the film is named Hotta Kazuhiko, who should have been an ordinary grassroots salesperson until he stepped into the financial industry in Ginza and became a stockbroker.

Here, relying on his superb eloquence and execution, he found opportunities in foreign exchange, made his first pot of gold in the stock market, and then began to create a company, frantically accumulating wealth, and rapidly growing into a financial tycoon.

Then he began to indulge in debauchery, a life of luxury... alcohol, tobacco, drugs, beauties, parties... revelry...

The original affordable sedan was replaced with a convertible, the plain suit was replaced with a custom-made one, and the wife of his humble beginnings was replaced by the dream of all men... With the growth of wealth, Hotta Kazuhiko obtained everything he wanted.

But he was never satisfied and began to use legal loopholes to manipulate the financial market, support companies to go public, and earn more money!

Because of his fierce style and endless greed, he was called the fierce tiger of Ginza, the financial center...

"Tiger of Ginza..." Hotta Kazuhiko said to his companion while holding a newspaper, "This is the title they gave me..."

"And we will eventually live up to expectations and become a fierce tiger that makes people afraid!"

"Poverty has never been noble!"

"I have been a poor man, and I have been a rich man, but if I had to choose again, I would definitely choose to be a rich man!"

"If I were a rich man, at least when dealing with my own predicament, I would be sitting in the back seat of a luxury sedan, wearing a custom-made suit worth a million, and wearing a gold watch worth ten million on my wrist!"

"..."

The infectious lines stirred the audience's hearts;

The life of debauchery after getting rich made the audience's blood boil;

The audience in the screening hall stared intently at the screen, as if fantasizing that they had become the young, newly rich male lead in the story!

Komori Masataka and Kijima Xu had been observing the audience's reactions from the front row entrance; this habit was learned from Naoki Nagayama and should be considered a tradition of Shuyou Film.

Watching the audience's rapt attention, watching their expressions change with the development of the plot, watching the audience follow the protagonist's experience from arrogance to tension and then to relief...

Watching these scenes of the audience's reactions, Kijima Xu finally let go of his worries...

"Masataka-kun... looks like our film was shot quite well..."

Komori Masataka was full of confidence at this moment; he could already imagine tomorrow's headline titles: "The must-see movie of the year," "The most surprising movie of the year," or "The most attractive movie"...

In short, this movie is a sure thing!!!

"Aleh?" Nagayama Hezi leaned over to look, a stack of neatly arranged Prince Shotoku in the wallet. "You don't even have a single Iwakura Tomomi (500 yen) or Natsume Soseki (1000 yen)... As expected of a rich person!"

"So..." Naoki Nagayama said, "Put it on my tab!"

"No way! Small business, no tabs!" Nagayama Hezi directly pulled out a Prince Shotoku and quickly started looking for change at the cash register. "Hai, please take your change, 9850 yen!"

"......"

Looking at the handful of small bills in his hand, Naoki Nagayama's mouth twitched slightly, but in the end, he stuffed them into his pants pocket.

"Nagayama Hezi..."

"Hmm?"

"Starting from this week, the rent for the milk tea shop will double!!!"

"Eh?!!"

"The commission for the milk tea shop will also double!"

Hehe, the storefront for this milk tea shop was bought by himself! The tools for making milk tea were also!!!

"Nii-chan!!!" Nagayama Hezi finally distinguished who was the boss, grabbing Naoki Nagayama's shirt corner. "Don't... I was wrong!"

"Too late!"

Ishii Chunshui Ishii behind the operation counter watched the interesting interaction between the siblings with a smile, sighing that they really had a good relationship!

She had originally thought that a big shot like Naoki Nagayama would definitely be serious, but she didn't expect that after getting familiar, he was actually no different from an ordinary person...

Ah no, an ordinary person's wallet wouldn't have so many Prince Shotoku!

The money in that wallet was much more than the monthly turnover of this milk tea shop! ===== CHAPTER 1061 =====
