Chapter 1237: Pick people up with a private plane? How luxurious!

After a sudden rainstorm, the air in Tokyo was fresh and carried water vapor, and a rainbow hung in the sky~

"Really a good sign!"

Looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, Naoki Nagayama's mood was still very good.

It was not easy to coax Akina yesterday, and the novel was finished, so it should finally be considered over.

Come to the company today to explain other things, and then you can take Akina and Xia Hua on a trip!

"Knock knock..."

The office door was knocked, and then Hiroshi Kijima walked in.

"Naoki-san, the meeting can start!"

"Ah... good~"

Naoki Nagayama and Hiroshi Kijima walked towards the conference room together.

In the conference room, Shuichi Yin Tang, Toshihiko Sugiyama, and Eiichiro Watanabe were all there. When Naoki Nagayama entered, everyone greeted him one after another.

"Everyone relax~ Kijima-kun, start!"

"Hai..." Hiroshi Kijima nodded, he was the host of this meeting, "Now proceeding with the 'Departures' screening summary meeting."

"'Departures' has been screened for twenty days since its premiere. Yesterday, the first-week box office data from cinemas across the country has been summarized..."

There is no data system in cinemas now. The data statistics of each cinema are paper-based, and professional personnel are needed to summarize and calculate... So the first-week box office data took more than ten days to summarize.

"The first-week total box office of 'Departures' reached 900 million... According to the current trend, the first-month total box office can reach more than 3 billion..."

The screening time of "Departures" is very long, and it will be screened until the end of the year. It is expected that there will be a total box office of about 4 billion by then.

This box office seems to be incomparable to "Kikujiro's Summer," but this is a film that leans towards plot, not a family-friendly comedy. Most of the people willing to watch it are adults, so the box office results can be understood.

And the film itself is also a plot film that leans towards winning awards, mainly looking at the evaluation of the film industry.

"Media and newspapers have very high evaluations of 'Departures,' all evaluating this film as radiating a friendly human touch, a brand-new interpretation of the island nation's unique funeral culture, and expressing the unique view of life and death in the island nation's culture...

There are also comments that the filming and editing of the film are just right, and under the overall solemn plot, it also carries some humorous effects...

The music in the film is also very moving...

Famous film critic commented that 'Departures' is a plain but emotionally long film, light but deeply touching..."

Listening to Hiroshi Kijima's report, Naoki Nagayama also nodded with satisfaction. This film has gained a lot of recognition in the industry. It can be said that the three major film awards in the island nation at the end of the year will definitely not be without "Departures."

After Hiroshi Kijima finished speaking, Toshihiko Sugiyama stood up:

"Currently, the early publicity work for 'Departures' has almost come to an end. There is one last notice tomorrow... In the next stage, we will carry out publicity in domestic cinemas according to the regular process!

The focus of the next stage is overseas publicity...

Starting from Taiwan, then Hong Kong and other regions... Afterwards, cooperate with Paramount Pictures and screen it in the United States through their channels... I will go to the United States for a business trip in a while to open up this channel."

Actually, in Taiwan, Tree Friend has already established a distribution company. After all, the place is not big, just talk about cooperation.

In Hong Kong, a few cinemas are not worth establishing a company, and Naoki Nagayama also knows some people, so just distribute it directly.

However, in Europe and America, it is still a blank space for Tree Friend...

"Sugiyama-san, this time on a business trip to the United States, please contact more people from film companies..."

Naoki Nagayama said.

"We might have cooperation with them in the future!"

"Hai!"

Toshihiko Sugiyama nodded to indicate understanding... During this period, because there was a subsidiary president's radish hanging outside, he could be said to have exhausted his efforts...

Summarize the box office, discuss the subsequent publicity work, and chat about the subsequent celebration and bonuses. This meeting can be considered over.

After others left, Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Yin Tang walked back slowly.

"Shuichi-san, the morale of the Film Association is very high now, right?"

"That's right... the 'Proposal' passed and everyone is very happy."

Shuichi Yin Tang nodded and said with a smile.

"And more membership applications have been sent over... In the future, the Film Association can at least cover more than 70% of the practitioners in the film industry!"

"That's really not a small group!"

Such an industry association can already be considered one of the top ten large unions among various unions in the island nation, and it has mastered the voice channel, whether in terms of size or influence, it cannot be ignored!

No wonder the Takeshita faction wants to control the Film Association~

"That's right... now that I am this chairman, it is called domineering when walking out!"

"Hahaha~" Naoki Nagayama also laughed, complimented a few words, and then asked, "Then recently, does that Nobuo Asai have any small actions?"

"There is no feeling for these few days... However, the association's workload is heavy now, and the association organization might expand its structure in two days... By then, there might be actions."

"Hmm, then continue to observe for a period of time!"

The two came to Dayou Fangcun's office, and Naoki Nagayama started to talk about private matters.

"Dayou-san, Shuichi-san... In August, I want to rest for a period of time! About a week~"

"......" X2

Hearing this, the two close friends looked at each other, and then Shuichi Yin Tang silently took out his wallet and handed Dayou Fangcun 10,000 yen.

"Uh... what are you two doing?!"

Naoki Nagayama opened his eyes wide.

"You two, shouldn't you be betting with me?!"

"Hahaha~"

Dayou Fangcun was in a good mood. Although a Fukuzawa Otake Yuji doesn't count for much to him now, it was won from a good friend, so it was very fragrant!

"That's right, we had already determined that Naoki-san would take a vacation, but I bet it was in August, while Shuichi-san previously thought it was at the end of July... He lost!"

"......" Naoki Nagayama was speechless, "Are you two so bored?!"

"How could it be boring, it's very interesting!"

Shuichi Yin Tang sat on the sofa and said with a smile. The two of them already knew the personality of their close friend very well.

"The bet is not over yet... Where is Naoki-san going to vacation?"

Looking at the two people who were full of energy, Naoki Nagayama could only continue to speak:

"....... In the Seto Inland Sea, on that Jurassic Island under construction!"

As soon as this was said, he saw Dayou Fangcun's smile become even brighter, and he reached out and made a gesture of rubbing his thumb at Shuichi Yin Tang... It was very obvious, he won again!

"So this time is betting on where I will vacation?"

"That's right..."

Shuichi Yin Tang sighed and took out another Fukuzawa Otake Yuji.

"I bet it was abroad, but Dayou-san said it must be domestic... Naoki-san definitely went abroad before, why did he change this time!"

"Haha~"

Reaching out to take it, Dayou Fangcun put the Fukuzawa Otake Yuji into his wallet.

"Naoki-san is married now, and has little Xia Hua, how can he go on a long-distance trip!"

"Can take family together!" Shuichi Yin Tang said,

"The plane is so big inside, sleep until Spain is fine!"

"....."

Naoki Nagayama didn't speak, it is indeed possible...

However, Dayou Fangcun said:

"Hua-chan is so small, it's not suitable to go abroad... It's more convenient domestically."

"Che...."

The guy who lost is always a bit stubborn~

However, Naoki Nagayama patted the coffee table:

"Dayou-san, Naoki-san, I am not going there purely for vacation this time... I also have to inspect how the film set of 'Jurassic Park' is built!"

"Ah... is it going to start filming in the second half of the year?"

Shuichi Yin Tang asked immediately.

"Are the male and female leads selected?"

"Not yet... However, if there are suitable actors in the association, you can introduce them~" Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "Chairman Shuichi!"

"Good! I will take this as the association's welfare when I go back!"

Chairman Shuichi Yin Tang didn't refuse at all.

"Being able to participate in Naoki Nagayama's film project in advance, the members must be impatient!"

Naoki Nagayama shook his head and continued.

"I also plan to hold Hua-chan's birthday party on the island... Shuichi-san and Dayou-san must come over too!"

"On the island?"

Dayou Fangcun was a bit surprised.

"Isn't that very inconvenient... people can't get over..."

"I will send a private plane to pick everyone up..."

Naoki Nagayama smiled.

"Anyway, I didn't want to invite too many people this time..."

The first birthday banquet of the Nagayama family's daughter, he still hopes to spend it with relatives and friends... and not like the full-month banquet when she was just born, becoming a social field...

There was no way at that time, after all, it was Naoki Nagayama who had descendants, which was a big event for the entire Tree Friend interest group, so it had to be done in a big way.

However, using a private plane to pick people up to a certain island to attend a birthday party?

Such a luxurious thing, only Naoki Nagayama can do it! Sure enough, once a person has money, they will do things that people can't imagine!

"Since that's the case, then I'll wait for Naoki-san's plane!"

Shuichi Yin Tang said with a smile, Naoki Nagayama's private plane, he still hasn't sat in it yet!

"However, there shouldn't be no place to stay on that island, right?"

"How could it be! The vacation hotel has already been built! Guaranteed to be no different from the five-star hotels in other attractions!"

"That's good..."

Kunitachi City, Miura Residence.

Momoe Yamaguchi, who picked up her eldest son from kindergarten, was walking on the street with Yutaro with a smile.

Although people occasionally cast curious gazes on the road, in this small city, most people have already become accustomed to Momoe Yamaguchi's existence, and no one will run over to harass her.

And the paparazzi and reporters from outside seem to have been swept away by an unknown force, and it has been a long time since they have seen guys coming to sneak shots~

As for some fans, most of the people who used to be fans of Momoe Yamaguchi are now middle-aged, and they don't have the energy and thick skin to rush into people's homes to express their loyalty... Isn't it good to look at past idols on shows and newspapers?!

Moreover, in such an era of information blockage, the news of Momoe Yamaguchi's new address is not necessarily found by those who are not in the industry.

"Yutaro, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Momoe Yamaguchi asked while holding her eldest son's hand.

"Tonkotsu ramen!!"

Yutaro naturally said whatever he wanted to eat.

"I also want to eat fried meat!"

"Good... go buy groceries on the way later!"

During the filming of "Departures" some time ago, she also often had to help with publicity during this period, and Momoe Yamaguchi spent much less time with her son. It was not easy for the first month of "Departures" screening to be almost over, so she naturally wanted to make up for it.

Chatting all the way and then buying some groceries, it was already evening when they returned to the Miura Residence.

After opening the door and walking in, she found that Tomokazu Miura had already returned and was playing with her second son Takahiro with her mother.

"Dear, you're back!"

Tomokazu Miura greeted Momoe Yamaguchi immediately after seeing her, and took the bag in her hand by the way.

"Why so many things?"

"Bought ingredients on the way to the vegetable market to cook Yutaro's favorite dishes."

"So that's it..."

Tomokazu Miura glanced at Yutaro next to him, and looked a bit pitiful.

"What about mine?"

"..... Tomokazu, why are you still grabbing food from Yutaro!"

"Men also need care!"

"....."

Momoe Yamaguchi was a bit speechless. She didn't know if her husband had been in contact with Naoki Nagayama too much when filming, and now his tea-talk is getting more and more!

And Yutaro on the side, seeing that his father didn't greet him at all after entering the door, shook his head helplessly... Sure enough, father and mother are true love, he is simply an accident!

Under such circumstances, he took off his shoes and ran towards the TV in the living room...

"I'm going to watch 'Slam Dunk'!"

Nothing can soothe a child's heart more than cartoons~

The two adults naturally didn't care much. After Tomokazu Miura helped put the ingredients in the kitchen, he saw Momoe Yamaguchi hurriedly put on an apron and was about to start cooking.

So he also rolled up his sleeves and prepared to help.

"Alright, Tomokazu go accompany Yutaro, no help needed in the kitchen!"

Momoe Yamaguchi, who is very persistent in some aspects, refused and pushed the child's father out.

"...... Alright~"

Tomokazu Miura put down his sleeves, and then thought of the thing Naoki Nagayama handed to him today.

"By the way, Momoe... Naoki-san asked me to bring that novel over!"

"Hmm?"

Hearing Naoki Nagayama's name, Momoe Yamaguchi increased her attention.

"What novel?"

"It's the one mentioned on the TV show last time that made Akina-chan cry bitterly!" Tomokazu Miura continued, "The name is 'I'm Sorry, I Love You'."

"Ah! It's sent over!"

Momoe Yamaguchi showed a smile on her face.

"It looks like Akina-chan has finished reading it!"

"Hmm, when Naoki-san gave me the thing, he also instructed that when Momoe cries bitterly, comfort her well..."

"Hahaha, how could I cry bitterly!"

Momoe Yamaguchi shook her head with a smile. She is a firm and resilient woman who can withstand the pressure of the agency, fans, media, and everyone else at her peak and retire in a hurry!

No need to elaborate on the strength of the core!

"Akina-chan is still too young, protected too well by Naoki-san, hasn't experienced things, and her psychology is too fragile, so she will be moved by some love plots."

"It is impossible for that novel to make me cry bitterly!!!"

Looking at his wife's confident expression, Tomokazu Miura was also infected:

"Haha, that's right... Momoe, you are a mature and confident wife, and the strong mother of Yutaro and Takahiro! How could you be moved to tears by some fictional love in a novel!"

"That's of course!" Momoe Yamaguchi was full of confidence, "Tomokazu-san, put that novel in the bedroom, I'll take a look before going to bed after coaxing Takahiro to sleep!"

"Good! But don't watch it too late... still have to participate in the notice tomorrow!"
