Chapter 1275: I gave him a price he couldn't refuse!!

Naoki Nagayama didn't know what the Zhuxia faction he personally pushed over would do after he entered the NHK Hall.

At this time, he was sitting in Shuyou's camp, watching the opening performance on the stage with Akina. The male idol group Hikaru Genji from Johnny's was singing and dancing RAP enthusiastically on the stage~

Actually, Naoki Nagayama couldn't appreciate male idols too much in both lifetimes, especially the meat-selling groups like Johnny's male idols, but they have a lot of female fans...

The female guests and female fans who came to participate in the Tokyo Film Festival today were all watching with glowing eyes~

Even Akina on the side, although she said "They are not as handsome as Naoki-san," she also secretly glanced... Naoki Nagayama couldn't say much; after all, he would also look at various young ladies...

After the performance ended, in the gap waiting for the opening speech, Michael Jackson said a sentence:

"The young idols in Japan are very different from those in the United States..."

"Hahaha, isn't that so~" Naoki Nagayama nodded, "More delicate and good-looking..."

The golden age of male idols itself is between their teens and twenties, and they haven't grown up yet~

There is a rumor that Johnny's is a puppet supported by the United States to implement Japan's "de-masculinization" policy. This rumor is unknown whether it is true or false, but it is true that Johnny's idols were all harmed by that old guy Kitagawa.

Naoki Nagayama couldn't stand the unspoken rules of Johnny's, but he didn't have the idea of exposing Kitagawa. The entertainment industry itself is a big dyeing vat; there are all kinds of people for the sake of fame and profit. Meddling in other people's business might not even be appreciated by the artists themselves... just stay out of it~

After the performance ended, under the guidance of the host, Zhou Fang walked onto the stage and began to give the opening speech...

"It is a great honor to be able to speak at the opening ceremony..."

"The Tokyo International Film Festival has been held for the third session. It can be said that I watched this activity grow step by step, grow stronger, and now become a world-class film grand event..."

"..."

Just grandstanding scene words, Naoki Nagayama was about to yawn, not to mention Michael Jackson, Jackie Chan, and other foreign stars who basically couldn't understand Japanese. However, artists of this era all had solid business skills, and they showed smiles on their faces while nodding, as if they had heard some golden words.

At this time, Fangcun Dayou on the side leaned over and asked:

"Naoki-san, your audition activity, are you going over today?"

"Just arrange for some people to collect the registration forms today..." Naoki Nagayama turned his head and said, "Actors still have to be found by themselves..."

"I just saw Harrison Ford (*Indiana Jones*), and I want to go talk to him..."

*Indiana Jones 2* has already been released. This movie is a childhood memory, a legendary story, and Indiana Jones's adventurer temperament satisfies all the adventure fantasies of teenagers...

If he were to star in *Jurassic Park*, Naoki Nagayama felt it would definitely be very popular, but he didn't know if he would have the schedule.

"Indiana Jones?"

Fangcun Dayou looked in the direction of Naoki Nagayama's gaze and really saw the actor who had a very strong presence,

"If it's him, it's quite good..."

"Hmm, wait until the opening ceremony is over..."

In the chat between the two, the opening ceremony continued. Just as Zhou Fang stepped down, the host began to introduce the jury to the stage, and then began to list the films shortlisted for the Tokyo Film Festival Grand Prize this year...

Naturally, Naoki Nagayama's *Departures* was highlighted first.

"Expounded on the Japanese *Nokanshi* profession from a unique perspective, showing a rich national cultural characteristic... At the same time, it explored the intimate relationship between people... and didn't lose humor..."

"This *Departures* has received widespread praise... Let us congratulate *Departures* - Naoki Nagayama, for being shortlisted for the Tokyo International Film Festival Grand Prize selection!"

Hearing that his film was selected, Naoki Nagayama quickly stood up and bowed to the surrounding crowd to signal!

Next, these are other shortlisted films for this film festival competition... The final selection results will be announced at the closing ceremony~

"Naoki-san, this film of yours might win many awards..."

Yin Tangxiu drank champagne and joked with a smile,

"Domestic films simply can't compare with yours... It's a pity, there is another *Ghost* that didn't participate..."

"*Ghost* is considered a commercial film; it's a bit insufficient to take it to an international film festival for awards."

Everyone knows that in such a film evaluation competition that includes the film circles of the whole world, the sales volume does not necessarily have an advantage. Award-winning films must be very special, either culture, theme, or avant-garde...

So some literary directors can also have a chance to win the grand prize~

"So the possibility of *Departures* winning an international grand prize is very high?" Fangcun Dayou said with a smile, "Naoki-san, when will you go abroad to take down the Oscars?"

"Have to wait until next year..."

The Oscars are held every year from February to April, and Naoki Nagayama has no way to win an award even if he wants to.

Time passed in the flow on the stage and the whispers off the stage. After two o'clock, the salon party time finally arrived.

Naoki Nagayama walked through the crowd with champagne, chatting with familiar people from time to time.

Almost no one in the Japanese entertainment industry didn't know him, and directors and stars from abroad had also heard his name more or less, and plus he stood up and bowed at the opening ceremony just now, everyone also recognized the person himself.

"Director Nagayama..." "Naoki-san, very happy to see you..." "Let's cooperate when you have time~" "..."

Similar greetings were repeated, and Naoki Nagayama also smiled and said some scene words.

After searching for a while, Naoki Nagayama finally found Indiana Jones. This guy was hitting it off with an American actress...

This artist, who became famous by virtue of *Raiders of the Lost Ark*, *Blade Runner*, and *Star Wars*, is now in a stage of being in high spirits.

"Mr. Ford!"

Naoki Nagayama greeted first.

"Oh... Mr... sorry, I'm not very sensitive to Japanese names..."

Harrison Ford was stunned for a moment. He recognized this well-known director Naoki Nagayama who had won the Palme d'Or, but couldn't say the specific Japanese name...

"I am Naoki Nagayama..."

Naoki Nagayama didn't care and introduced himself directly,

"Do you have time to chat?"

"Ah... of course!"

Harrison Ford nodded, said something to his female companion, and then came to a cleaner corner with Naoki Nagayama.

"Director Nagayama... may I ask what you are looking for me for?"

Harrison Ford was a bit cautious, always feeling that the Japanese director in front of him was looking at some kind of commodity, which even made him a bit suspicious of Naoki Nagayama's orientation~

"Mr. Ford, I have watched *Blade Runner* and *Raiders of the Lost Ark* that you starred in..."

Naoki Nagayama was very relaxed,

"Your acting impressed me deeply..."

"Thank you~"

Harrison Ford nodded to express his gratitude.

"Are you filming any projects recently?" Naoki Nagayama asked directly, "*Indiana Jones 3*?"

"*Indiana Jones 3* won't start filming until the second half of next year..."

Harrison Ford said. He already knew the idea of this young director; it must be that there was some project he wanted to cooperate on,

"As for next year, I expect to film a comedy and a crime movie... the schedule for the whole year is gone..."

The schedules of well-known actors are very tight, and there is even the possibility of filming several movies together, *qiaxi*...

Although he knew that this young Japanese director had potential, his schedule for next year and even the year after was reserved!

"Hahaha, in that case, is there still a schedule until the end of this year?"

Naoki Nagayama asked with a smile.

"This... there is indeed..."

This period is just to rest a little, and it happens that there are various award activities at the end of the year...

"That's fine..."

Naoki Nagayama didn't mean to sell the pass,

"Mr. Ford, do you want to join my new movie, *Jurassic Park*?! This is a movie adapted from a novel... maybe it can create a new dinosaur universe!"

"Uh... dinosaur universe?"

Harrison Ford was a bit surprised,

"Although I am also very curious, I only have a schedule of about two months..."

"It doesn't matter; in Japan, filming movies is very fast!"

Naoki Nagayama was not worried at all,

"But as for the pay, it will still be according to the level of the whole movie... according to the pay of famous Hollywood actors today, I expect to give you about 5 million US dollars...

The specifics can be negotiated by the agency, but money is not a problem!!!"

Dealing with Americans you are not familiar with, using money to speak is the most effective!!

"!!!"

Sure enough, Harrison Ford was fiercely moved!

5 million!!

Although he had a pay of more than 4 million in *Indiana Jones 2*... but this time it only took two months to earn the top-level pay that originally took half a year to a year to earn... This is a good thing that you can't ask for!!!

Even if it were a Category III movie, he would have the impulse to agree!!!

However, thinking of his status and reputation, Harrison Ford was still cautious:

"This... but Director Nagayama, I don't know your movie... may I ask if there is a script?"

"Script... hmm... it wasn't brought over."

Naoki Nagayama looked around. Because there was his audition activity at this film festival, there were many display racks inside the NHK venue, and Naoki Nagayama's *Jurassic Park* novel was placed on them... It happened to have a translated version.

He walked over a few steps, took an English version of *Jurassic Park* and handed it to Harrison Ford:

"The script all comes from this novel. The author and screenwriter are both me, so there is no difference in content...

Then, Dr. Indiana, you can start a new adventure by reading this novel first!"

"Haha~" Harrison Ford took the novel, "I will definitely read it carefully..."

"Hahaha~ after tomorrow, there will be an audition activity for *Jurassic Park* at the film festival..."

Naoki Nagayama said,

"If Ford decides to participate, then you can go and sign up directly... go through the process!"

"Good..."

After chatting for a few more sentences, Naoki Nagayama returned to the territory of this group of Shuyou people.

Yin Tangxiu asked in surprise:

"So fast?"

"Hmm, it's already settled! He will definitely come to star!"

Naoki Nagayama drank another sip of champagne, very confident in his invitation. He believed that Harrison Ford would definitely come to sign up!

"Harrison Ford and you should be meeting for the first time, right?"

Yin Tangxiu asked suspiciously,

"How could he agree so readily?"

"Because I gave him a price he couldn't refuse!!"

"How much money?"

"5 million US dollars!"

No artist can resist the gold offensive, especially with such a good project!

"!!!"

Yin Tangxiu opened his mouth wide, and Fangcun Dayou and others who had been listening on the side were also shocked... 5 million US dollars according to the current exchange rate is 600 million yen!

This is already more than half of the family fortune that Fangcun Dayou and he had accumulated over so many years!!

It was Nakamori Akina, who had been drinking juice, who didn't have much feeling about this amount.

On one hand, it was because of the calculation in US dollars; she didn't know the exchange rate very well. On the other hand, this was from a few years ago, and for her, money had already been desensitized.

Once she thought that her husband could earn tens of billions a year... money is just a number!!

"..."

For a long time, Yin Tangxiu spoke,

"Naoki-san, is he worth it?"

What kind of actor, one movie can earn him more than half of his family fortune!

"Very worth it..."

You have to know that Harrison Ford is one of the richest actors in American film history. In the later *Indiana Jones 4, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull*, he received a pay of more than 65 million US dollars...

This is the market's price tag for Harrison Ford!

"This..."

Yin Tangxiu didn't speak anymore. He had always trusted Naoki Nagayama's judgment very much.

He drank a big mouthful of red wine to calm his shock, and then looked at Harrison Ford in the distance,

"Then I hope he can be worthy of such a high pay!"

"Baka!" "Baka-yaro!!" "..."

A group of political bigwigs rushed to the headquarters of the Liberal Democratic Party. As soon as they entered the door, they heard the sounds of many politicians and Diet members cursing.

"Traitor!" "How dare he?!!" "This guy Zhuxia Deng is a sinner of the Liberal Democratic Party!" "Death is not a pity..." "Seppuku! Seppuku!!!" "..."

After seeing the press conference from the live broadcast, almost all the key members of the Liberal Democratic Party quickly came here!

Everyone was full of anger, and one by one they gritted their teeth at Zhuxia Deng and the Zhuxia faction's behavior of splitting the Liberal Democratic Party.

When Zhuxia Deng broke away from the Liberal Democratic Party, he said that the Liberal Democratic Party was no longer the political party that represented the people, and also indicated that there were more corrupt behaviors within the party... This wasn't just his own business; he was smashing the pot that everyone was eating from!!

Especially when the Liberal Democratic Party was deep in the turmoil of public opinion, it was no less than stabbing a knife fiercely from behind!

"Tanaka-san!" "Nikaido-san..." "What should we do!!" "Can't let it go on like this..."

"How about finding someone to kill Zhuxia Deng!" "Heaven's punishment!!"

"..."

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Tanaka Kakuei climbed onto the podium and patted the table hard to let everyone quiet down,

"Don't argue, you can't argue out a way!"

"And that one who wants to kill Zhuxia Deng... why don't you take a knife and kill him now!"

Tanaka Kakuei stared at him and said,

"After killing him, I guarantee to arrange the best lawyer for you!!!"

"..."

The Diet member, whose face was just flushed, immediately shrank his head back.

"Hmph... still think it's the Shogunate period?!" Tanaka Kakuei snorted coldly, "Are we also going to find an assassin executioner Battousai?!"

"..."

Everyone didn't speak and all looked steadily at him, waiting for this core of the Liberal Democratic Party and founder of the Tanaka faction to speak.

And Tanaka Kakuei, after taking a few deep breaths, finally spoke:

"Gentlemen... the Liberal Democratic Party has reached a critical moment of life and death!"

"Externally, public opinion is surging; internally, hearts are split... the situation is already precarious!"

"At this time, we shouldn't continue to argue, but should think of ways to get through this hurdle!"

"Zhuxia Deng's betrayal is unexpected, but he must have a follow-up plan... it is very likely to be cooperation with the Socialist Party!"

"And our Liberal Democratic Party cannot sit still... we need all the key members to contact the opposition parties as soon as possible to find out his follow-up plan... so that we can respond!"

"At the same time, we must also be prepared for heavy bleeding... members involved in the bribery case should confess as early as possible like Zhuxia Deng... or even resign..."

"In the worst case, we must be prepared for the reorganization of the Liberal Democratic Party... but this possibility is very small..."

"Our Liberal Democratic Party members are all over Japan's government agencies; it won't collapse so easily!"

"..."

Under Tanaka Kakuei's appeasement, the Liberal Democratic Party members quieted down and began to investigate the reasons as ordered.

And made the worst preparations...

At this time, no one wanted to continue helping Recruit company anymore~ ===== CHAPTER 1276 =====
