Chapter 1068: My head is so itchy, I'm going to grow a brain!

When Genta Nakai returned from outside and looked for Naoki Nagayama, he was not in his exclusive president's office.

Naoki Nagayama was in the large office area, having snatched the computer of a team leader, Yukio Nakayama, and was humming while typing on the keyboard...

"Naoki-san?"

Genta Nakai walked to the side, glanced at the helpless Yukio Nakayama, and asked,

"What are you doing?"

"Yuantai-san, you're back~ Wait a moment!"

Naoki Nagayama looked up at his good friend, his eyes continuing to stare at the screen, typing cautiously on the keyboard, while still muttering in his mouth,

"The current C language is really too rudimentary, I can't remember it at all... Windows 1.01 is also very troublesome... And there isn't even HTML (HyperText Markup Language)... Writing a webpage using C language is really..."

"???" Genta Nakai was confused and asked Yukio Nakayama next to him, "What is Naoki-san doing?"

"I don't know either! It seems like he's writing a heavenly book..."

Yukio Nakayama was full of innocence. Not long after work started, the company boss snatched his computer, saying he wanted to try writing some "webpage," and then he had been occupying his seat ever since.

Then he saw Naoki Nagayama open Notepad and start inputting strange code. Yukio Nakayama glanced at it, and was directly dazzled, dizzy and nauseous, his thinking a bit chaotic...

Genta Nakai didn't believe in evil and also looked at the code Naoki Nagayama was writing from the side...

#includeintmain{FILE*file=fopen(「「「w「); fprintf(file，「\n「); fprintf(file「\n「); fprintf(file，「\n「); fprintf(file，「HelloWorld\n「); fprintf(file「\n「); fprintf(file「\n「); fprintf(file「HelloWorld\n「); fprintf(file「HelloWorld\n「); fprintf(file「\n「); fprintf(file「\n「); fclose(file); printf(「SUCCESS！\n「); return0; }

"!!!"

What is this?! An unspeakable object?

How come it gives people a feeling of being polluted at a glance?!

Genta Nakai hurriedly turned his eyes away, letting this image disappear from his sight~

"It should be no problem!"

Naoki Nagayama typed the last symbol, seeming full of confidence, looked up at Genta Nakai and said,

"Yuantai-san, come witness history!"

"???"

Genta Nakai covered his eyes with his hands, not daring to look at the screen in front of Naoki Nagayama again:

"Naoki-san, what are you doing?"

"Creating history!"

Naoki Nagayama confidently put this line of code into the compiler, pressed Enter, and then saw a file generated on the desktop.

After clicking it open with the mouse, it was a blank page with only one line of text...

"HelloWorld?"

Genta Nakai looked at the two small English words in the upper left corner, his eyes revealing confusion,

"What does this mean?"

Naoki Nagayama was full of emotion:

"This is a small page I wrote using C language..."

"Naoki-san, you just messed with so much strange code, and in the end, these two words came out?"

"Although you are not wrong in saying that, your tone makes me feel that you didn't understand my hard work just now at all!" Naoki Nagayama was a bit unhappy. "Let me explain it to you properly..."

"Actually, I just used low-level programming code to create a script, generating a page based on C language... Since there is no HTML, no CSS, and no JV, I had to use C language... Such a genius idea is innovative and..."

Genta Nakai only felt that it seemed like every sentence of Naoki Nagayama had blocked words, and the beep-beep-beep sounds kept ringing along with his words... Otherwise, how could it seem like he heard everything, but understood nothing?!

Naoki-san is really too terrifying. How could he know so much forbidden knowledge?! If he continued to listen, Genta Nakai felt that he would be swallowed by some unspeakable object!

Ah... my head is so itchy, my brain is about to grow out!

Genta Nakai scratched his head and asked the most critical question:

"Naoki-san, this thing, what is it for?!"

"Uh... you can look at it."

"Can you only look at it?"

"Temporarily, but in the future..."

"So it's useless for now!"

"......"

Naoki Nagayama was silent.

Then he turned his head angrily and ignored his good friend!

This is the first page of the Internet!

The thing he wrote after several hours of hard work after the idea of building a website popped into his head, it will be recorded in history in the future!

"What do you mean it's useless! A bunch of guys who don't know how to appreciate, you don't understand my painstaking efforts at all...

Do you know what the Internet is? Do you know what a website is? Do you know what surfing is...

Damn it!"

The Internet is the crystallization of human wisdom, requiring the hard work of many geniuses.

It's not something one person can play with!

And in the earliest Internet, there were no servers, websites, network protocols, or even a network... The page written was just a screen that could only be looked at~

At this moment, Naoki Nagayama finally understood how ridiculous the idea of building the Internet by himself was.

"Forget it! Let's play Othello!"

Naoki Nagayama opened the Othello game that came with Windows 1.01 and clicked it with the mouse~

Genta Nakai, seeing that Naoki Nagayama seemed to have become autistic because of his own words, was also a bit embarrassed.

Scratching his cheek, Genta Nakai tried to persuade Naoki Nagayama back to the office:

"Naoki-san, those job seekers outside, what are your thoughts?"

"Keep those who bring their own capital, for the others, a three-month probation period. If they can't bring in clients, fire them and change to another batch!" Naoki Nagayama was still immersed in the disappointment of being unable to build the Internet, and his words were very cold...

"Cough, cough, cough~"

Genta Nakai coughed out the tea he had just drunk and hurriedly persuaded,

"Naoki-san... we can't do this... If the company does this, it won't be able to continue in Neon!"

Neon now has a lifetime employment system. If they followed Naoki Nagayama's approach just now, they would definitely be summoned by the Financial Services Agency.

"Ah... that's also true~"

Naoki Nagayama also came back to his senses and sighed. He couldn't add his emotions to the employees!

He almost became one of those bosses who exploit labor in later generations!

"Then Yuantai-san, you decide. Appropriately recruit a few people."

Thinking of the bubble burst four years later,

"However, be cautious about expanding the scale of the company. Domestic stock investment should be short, flat, and fast.

High-quality foreign stocks should be bought in advance as long-term investments."

"Hi, hi, hi!"

Genta Nakai nodded repeatedly,

"Naoki-san, you have emphasized these instructions countless times."

"But Naoki-san, are you really that worried about Neon's economy?"

Neon's economy now can be said to be like flowers on brocade, fire pouring oil; it really couldn't be better.

Some people have already shouted words like "Neon's era is coming."

"Because it's not normal, Yuantai-san!" Naoki Nagayama said. "The economic growth after the Plaza Accord is too abnormal... The stock market and property market are like castles in the air..."

"Yuantai-san... just listen to me. Neon is now like a leek that has been pulled up to help it grow; it will be harvested sooner or later!

The sickle is at the Yokota military base!"

"......"

Speaking of this, Genta Nakai, as a pure Neon person, also stopped talking...

After drinking a few sips of tea, Genta Nakai changed the subject:

"Naoki-san... your little Xia Hua's full-month banquet, how is the preparation going?"

"Ah... the matter of the full-month banquet is being prepared by Akina, but there shouldn't be any difficulties."

Naoki Nagayama laughed,

"At that time, Yuantai-san, you must bring Shota-kun over!"

"Of course!" Genta Nakai laughed. "Let my Shota get to know Hua-chan well, cultivate feelings well, maybe in the future..."

Since Naoki's child is a daughter, Genta Nakai naturally wanted to climb into a family relationship.

After all, the two families could already be considered family friends, and their interests were almost tied together.

"......"

Naoki Nagayama was helpless. Since Xia Hua was born, guys who had designs on her had popped up one by one!

"You guy, my Hua-chan is only one month old!"

"Shota is only two years old!"

"Get away from me by a thousand meters!"

"......"

Over at the Tree Friend building in Ginza.

Masataka Komori and Xu Mudao, who had worked hard to promote, finally returned. Running around in the summer heat made the whole person much darker and much thinner.

However, the current aesthetic for men is that being tanned looks healthy, so the two had no objections.

"The first-week box office of *Tiger of Ginza* should reach 900 million..."

Masataka Komori reported the latest box office data of *Tiger of Ginza* to Xiuyi Yin. Half a month had passed, but statistics in this era were slow, and there were several theater chains that *Tiger of Ginza* was released on, so summarizing them was even slower.

"According to the current trend, the first-month box office should reach more than 3 billion... As for the total box office, we can work hard to rush towards 4 billion..."

It was originally a pure commercial film, a popcorn movie, and the audience didn't have the impulse to watch it a second or third time, so the possibility of further improvement due to word of mouth in the later stage was not high.

Wanting to compare with Naoki Nagayama's *Summer of Kikujiro* was even more impossible~

Xiuyi Yin nodded:

"After the international film festival promotes it as the opening film, there should also be box office overseas. The final total box office should reach about 5 billion... Very good!"

Asian films in Europe and America have never been very popular, so *Tiger of Ginza* might at most harvest a batch of box office in regions like Hong Kong and Taiwan.

However, this result, for director Xu Mudao and producer Masataka Komori, was already very good, and might even be a record they couldn't break in the future.

Xiuyi Yin understood this point very well. After leaving Naoki Nagayama, the few films he directed himself could only be said to be barely acceptable.

"Xu Mudao-kun..." Xiuyi Yin said to Xu Mudao, "The male lead of the film has returned to Hong Kong, right?"

"Hi, Zhang Guorong has a lot of work in Hong Kong."

Zhang Guorong in Hong Kong now can be said to be red to purple, a big star who is a trinity of film, television, and music, and his work every day is endless.

"Mm, don't forget to invite him over during the Tokyo International Film Festival."

"Hi!"

"This *Tiger of Ginza* is considered very successful. The subsequent financial settlement will be handled by the company.

Xu Mudao-kun, Masataka-kun." Xiuyi Yin said to the two, "You should be more active in the circle in the second half of the year and sprint for the year-end film awards."

Masataka Komori and Xu Mudao were already directors and producers who could stand on their own, and the connections they had accumulated in private were not small, and they could already contribute to the Blue Ribbon and Academy Awards.

"Hi!" X2

After continuing to instruct a few words, Xiuyi Yin let the two go back to rest,

And then thought alone in the office...

"The second half of the year is mainly the preparation and hosting work for the Tokyo International Film Festival, but there are still four months until the end of the year. Are the staff of the film department all idle?"

As the top management of Tree Friend Film, although Xiuyi Yin now spends his main energy on the anime business, he also has to consider the film business.

After thinking for a while, he called the editor-in-chief of the script center, Haotai Ueda:

"Ueda-san... what scripts have been created by the script center now?"

"Hi... currently the script center has completed five scripts, which are..." Haotai Ueda handed the scripts directly to Xiuyi Yin for review. "There are two more scripts currently being created..."

*Black House* (thriller), *Ring 3* (horror), *The Unrighteous* (gangster), *Violent Community* (delinquent action), *Snowy Night* (romance)...

Xiuyi Yin flipped through several scripts, his brows furrowed...

These scripts couldn't be said to be bad; they were all standard, high-completion scripts, and filming them would definitely get box office.

However... he had started from scratch with Naoki Nagayama, and what he saw were all Naoki Nagayama's scripts...

By comparison, these scripts seemed... very mediocre!

Whether it was the narrative technique or imagination, they were all ordinary...

"Well... then let's send this *Black House* to the project side for review." Xiuyi Yin randomly chose a low-budget one as the year-end film project. "As a year-end film, let the newcomers practice their hands..."

In any case, employees couldn't be left with nothing to do~

"Hi, I will send the script to the project department right away!" Haotai Ueda nodded. "As for the director, does Xiuyi-san want to decide the candidate?"

"Let Munao Matsuo film it..." Xiuyi Yin said. "Establish the project first, investment, actors, etc., let him strive for it..."

The current Tree Friend, except for Naoki Nagayama's projects, or Xiuyi Yin's own films, other film projects need to attract investment and sponsorship according to regulations... This is commercial operation!

"By the way..." Xiuyi Yin stopped Haotai Ueda, who was about to leave. "I remember Naoki-san still has two scripts, right?"

"Hi, one is *Battle Royale*, and the other is called *Once a Thief*."

Haotai Ueda nodded,

"They were all perfected by Naoki-san for the script center... Actually, they don't really need much perfection~"

"Mm... I understand... Thank you~"

After Haotai Ueda left, Xiuyi Yin thought silently,

"For next year, how about using *Once a Thief* as the main blockbuster? I'll have to communicate with Naoki-san later..."

"Damn it, that guy hasn't been to Tree Friend for a long time! Can I only talk about it at the full-month banquet..."

Thinking a lot in his mind, Xiuyi Yin finally shook his head, put all these down, and considered things that were more important to him.

He walked out of the office and went down the stairs to the floor below the top floor... which was the floor he arranged for the anime business department.

After walking here, Gosho Aoyama was discussing something with several employees. After seeing Xiuyi Yin coming over, he hurriedly greeted him:

"Xiuyi-san..."

"Aoyama-kun." Xiuyi Yin nodded with a smile. "How is it, is the space here big enough?"

"Very big!" Gosho Aoyama showed a smile on his face. "It will definitely be enough for putting manuscript paper in the future!"

The entire floor space belongs to the anime business department, and the few people now feel empty inside.

"That's good, the scanning equipment will be delivered in two days."

"That's great!"

Animations in this era are basically drawn frame by frame, and then scanned into film with a scanner, which is time-consuming, laborious, and manpower-intensive.

So animated films are basically half an hour to forty minutes. If you want that kind of one or two-hour film, and also high-quality images, the budget is burning!

"Aoyama-kun, hurry up and recruit painters..." Xiuyi Yin patted him on the shoulder. "Strive to start adapting animations next year!"

"Hi, I will work hard!"
