Chapter 1326: Beautiful women are the most cunning~~
Sometimes Naoki Nagayama felt that it was very likely that he had other golden fingers after coming to the Showa era, similar to a crow's mouth.
Because it was really just as he said before, on Christmas Eve before Christmas Day, the sky began to snow!
Christmas and Tokyo's first snow, "Jingle Bells" and "Snow Flower" appeared together!
The light melody of "Jingle bells jingle bells, Jingle all the way~" in shops and department stores, and the beautiful melody of "This year, the first snow flower, the two of us snuggling together..." with sadness in record stores and cinemas...
Intertwined together, one telling of happy times and the other depicting sad love; for a moment, there was a feeling of ice and fire~
And at this time, in the publicity department of the Shuyou building, the sound of trouble was even more disturbing. Many people were busy preparing for the premiere of "Totoro," and various phones rang from time to time...
Among them, Susumu Ishikawa, as the team leader, grabbed the hair on his head and let out a tangled roar:
"Why! Why exactly... why does it have to snow at this time!"
"..." Eiichiro Watanabe on the other side was smoking, his eyes dark, "Alright Ishikawa, it just snowed; this is force majeure... now we should think about how to deal with it!"
"How can we deal with it..." Susumu Ishikawa's tone was low, "That's 'Love Letter'!"
If we talk about the movie that Naoki Nagayama made the most money from, one is "Kikujiro's Summer," and the other is "Love Letter"!
And because of the long-term popularity of the theme song "Snow Flower," the male lead Naoki Nagayama, the female lead Akina Nakamori, and other factors, "Love Letter" is closely linked to first love and love.
Now it has formed a special habit in Neon; every year when it snows in Tokyo, "Love Letter" will be re-screened...
At present, watching "Love Letter" has become a must-do for young lovers... and this habit will continue!
The potential of this movie might be much higher than "Kikujiro's Summer"~
"Even if it's 'Love Letter'..." Eiichiro Watanabe extinguished his cigarette, "We can't just surrender like this!"
"But... the publicity for 'Love Letter' was created by Naoki-san himself!"
In Susumu Ishikawa's view, Naoki Nagayama's publicity was excellent to the extreme; even if he didn't make movies in the future, relying on the constant re-screening of "Love Letter," he could guarantee Shuyou's profitability!
"Naoki-san... Naoki-san again (how)..."
Eiichiro Watanabe paused; after all, he didn't dare to say anything about his boss, and could only pant and say,
"Our publicity strategy for 'Totoro' this time was also suggested by Naoki-san!"
"And the target audience for the two movies is different! So the competition between them is also very small!"
He regained his confidence as he spoke, and his voice became louder and louder,
"So, we must not be discouraged at this time, but should think of ways to make the premiere of 'Totoro' even better!"
Susumu Ishikawa hadn't spoken yet when he heard a voice from outside:
"Well said!"
The office door was pushed open, and Naoki Nagayama and Otomo Yoshimura were standing outside...
"!!" XN
Everyone in the publicity department was shocked:
"Naoki-san, Otomo-san... you... why are you here?!"
"Because tomorrow is Christmas~"
Naoki Nagayama walked in with a smile, and Xing Jiahua and Suzuki Xingxia behind him helped carry some gifts,
"But everyone still has to work overtime, so I came with Otomo-san to express our condolences..."
As he spoke, he and Otomo Yoshimura handed the prepared gifts to each employee of the publicity department, and warmly told them they had worked hard...
In fact, only the employees of the publicity department and the artist agency were working in the Shuyou building at present; other employees had already taken the New Year holiday and would not come to work until after the New Year.
When he reached Eiichiro Watanabe, Naoki Nagayama patted him on the shoulder:
"Eiichiro-kun... your mindset just now was very good, never be discouraged!"
"..."
Eiichiro Watanabe's face was slightly stiff. At this moment, he was extremely glad that he hadn't said anything bad about Naoki-san before,
"Yes! I will work even harder!"
"Hmm, relax..."
Naoki Nagayama comforted,
"Just as you said, 'Totoro' is considered a children's movie... the previous publicity plan is fine... just communicate with the cinema about the screening schedule... there is a difference between the people watching 'Love Letter' and 'Totoro'..."
"Yes!!"
After saying this, Naoki Nagayama handed the Christmas gift to Eiichiro Watanabe and skillfully drew a big pie,
"Eiichiro, you've worked hard this year... Toshihiko Sugiyama is preparing to go to the overseas branch as president; the publicity department will still have to rely on you in the future!"
"Yes!"
Eiichiro Watanabe's face was excited,
"I will definitely not let Naoki-san down!"
"Hmm..."
Naoki Nagayama nodded, and seeing that the gifts had been distributed, he didn't say anything more,
"Minasan, you are all the pillars of Shuyou!!! After this project is finished, the company will arrange holiday compensation for you!"
"Everyone continue to be busy... Otomo-san and I will leave first!"
"Arigato..." XN
Listening to the thanks in the office, Naoki Nagayama and Otomo Yoshimura chatted as they walked:
"Sigh... the people in the publicity department have to be busy until next year... it's really hard work!"
"Yes... but the bonus is very generous!"
Otomo Yoshimura nodded and then smiled,
"And Naoki-san's words just now made everyone even more passionate!"
"Haha..."
The ability to draw pies was becoming more and more skillful... but Naoki Nagayama eventually realized all the pies; he was a reliable boss who kept his promises!
And his image in the hearts of employees would grow infinitely, eventually becoming a dream achiever!
"Eh? Otomo-san is also going home for the holiday, right?"
"I... I can't yet..." Otomo Yoshimura shook his head, "I still need to go drink with some people to build relationships..."
As the CEO of Shuyou, Otomo Yoshimura had dinners and drinking parties every day, and usually had to entertain until before the Spring Festival!
"Otomo-san has also worked hard..."
"Hahaha, anyway, I'm not very interested in Christmas..."
Otomo Yoshimura laughed. For people at his level, the holiday wouldn't bring any material improvement; he could spend every day as a holiday...
"By the way, where is Xiu-san?"
"Xiu-san... I guess he is still actively campaigning!"
The time for the Prime Minister's nomination was getting closer and closer... Xiu-san Yin is busy at the Diet member's residence every day...
In addition, the influence of the Tokyo Film Association has also been reflected; currently, many female stars are publicly supporting Takako Doi~
"It looks like Xiu-san will also be very busy this year!"
The crew on Jurassic Island also took a holiday on Christmas Day. After Naoki Nagayama walked around the Shuyou building, he stepped into the car back to Shanying Yuan.
Along the way, two different styles of music made him feel refreshed...
"Ma..."
Naoki Nagayama heard two kinds of music as soon as he went out, feeling a strange impact,
"It's like Tokyo has schizophrenia..."
When he returned to Shanying Yuan, Akina was in the yard, taking little Xia Hua, who was wrapped tightly, to watch the snowflakes fall... The little one's previous memories might have disappeared, and now she seemed to be seeing snow for the first time, very excited.
If it weren't for Akina pulling her, she might have wanted to roll on the thin layer of snow~
"Naoki-san, you're back!"
Akina asked with a smile,
"Have the company matters been handled?"
"Hmm..." Naoki Nagayama nodded, "The crew and the company here, those who should be on holiday are on holiday... and those who are working overtime have also been comforted."
"What about Akina?"
"I also sent gifts to my colleagues at Being..."
Being, like the agency under Shuyou, does not take a holiday on Christmas!
"That's good, it looks like we can also have a good Christmas!"
"Hmm!"
Akina nodded, and then put little Xia Hua into his arms,
"Exactly, Naoki-san is back, so help watch Hua-chan; I'm going to prepare the big meal for tonight!"
"Uh..."
Naoki Nagayama, holding his daughter, naturally wouldn't refuse, but he asked curiously,
"What is Akina's big meal?"
"It's the standard Christmas one... roast turkey!!"
Akina said,
"Mori-san and the others are on holiday; today I made it all by myself!"
"..."
Roast turkey... hearing this dish, Naoki Nagayama showed an expression of wanting to speak but stopping...
Turkey, this kind of poultry, is large and has a lot of meat. Turkey meat is low in fat and high in protein, and also contains unsaturated fatty acids. Overall, it is a very healthy meat...
However... it doesn't taste good!
In a certain Eastern country, chicken feet, duck feet, and pig trotters are not spared, and even poisonous foods like konjac can be brought to the table, but few people try such a large piece of turkey meat... it's just because it doesn't taste good!
But looking at Akina in the kitchen full of interest, Naoki Nagayama didn't say anything discouraging, lowered his head and looked at little Xia Hua:
"Hua-chan, when eating turkey tonight, remember to eat it in small bites, okay?"
"Okay~" Little Xia Hua nodded without thinking.
Then Naoki Nagayama looked at Eitaro, who was wagging his tail, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Eitaro... you are in luck tonight!"
As a greedy Labrador, there is no reason to refuse such healthy meat as turkey!
"Wang Wang!"
Eitaro didn't feel his master's bad intentions at all, and his thick tail wagged even more happily! On the other side, Miaotaro, lying in the thick cat nest, glanced at the silly dog...
Next, Naoki Nagayama played with little Xia Hua in the yard for a while, watching the snow get heavier... Only then did he return to the room.
After wiping the sweat off his daughter, the two came to the kitchen, looking at Akina who was busy.
"Today, I must make the most authentic American Christmas meal!"
Akina had already put the turkey in the oven. Smoked ham and salmon were relatively simple, and there were some vegetable dishes like salad. Now she was making Christmas pudding...
Little Xia Hua looked at her mother curiously and was eager to come forward to help, but was pulled away by Naoki Nagayama...
"Hua-chan is still too young; kitchen equipment is dangerous..."
"If you want to help, why not tear this cabbage into small pieces..."
After that, the cabbage can be made into hand-torn cabbage~
After giving his daughter a basin, he saw her happily starting to tear it...
As the sky gradually darkened, the fragrance of food filled Shanying Yuan~
Late at night, the snow in Tokyo was getting thicker, but the core commercial streets of Shinjuku and Shibuya were still brightly lit, and the crowds were surging.
Many young people had no intention of going home; the wonderful nightlife had just begun!
The energetic young man Mikuo Honda took his beautiful girlfriend Shiwa Mishima out for a date today. The music of "Jingle Bells" was full of laughter, but "Snow Flower" was more in line with the current weather. For a moment, some people didn't know how to choose...
"Let's go eat a big meal first... then go watch 'Love Letter'!"
Mikuo Honda said to his girlfriend Shiwa Mishima,
"Anyway, today is Christmas Eve, we can go back very late... or not go back at all..."
"Okay!" Shiwa Mishima, immersed in love, agreed without thinking, "'Love Letter'... I've wanted to watch it for a long time..."
"But friends all say that the first time you watch 'Love Letter,' you must watch it with your boyfriend, so it's been delayed for so long!"
Mikuo Honda was a bit surprised:
"When did this rule come about?"
"I don't know, anyway everyone says so..." Shiwa Mishima shook her head, "They say if you do this, love will always be beautiful!"
"Feudal superstition!"
As a teenager who was not afraid of anything, Mikuo Honda naturally didn't believe this set,
"It must have been made up by little girls!"
"Mikuo..."
Shiwa Mishima reached out and pinched her boyfriend's waist, and the two-finger zen was immediately online,
"We must watch 'Love Letter' together! Do you understand?!"
"Hai hai hai..."
Mikuo Honda could only nod, and then the two came to the most fashionable place to spend Christmas... Harajuku, and started today's date~
Eating big meals, singing, visiting the carnival, each activity made the young couple very happy, until near midnight, they came to the cinema.
"'Love Letter'?"
The ticket seller looked at the two young people and shook his head,
"The tickets for 'Love Letter' are sold out!"
"Eh?!! How could that be?"
Mikuo Honda said in surprise,
"Isn't it said that this is a movie that has been re-screened many times? How can there still be so many people watching it? Even the midnight show is gone?!"
Hearing this, the ticket seller smiled:
"Then why don't you think about why 'Love Letter' can be re-screened so many times?!"
"It's because this movie is enduring!"
"There are couples who came to book it as soon as the schedule came out; the midnight show is long gone, and there are only a few tickets left for the early morning session!"
"Early morning?"
Shiwa Mishima asked,
"When is it?"
"About two o'clock..." the ticket seller said, "There are a few left... but they should be sold out soon..."
Shiwa Mishima turned her head and saw that there were people queuing at other windows! Anxious in her heart, she said directly:
"Then we'll take them!"
"Okay~"
The ticket seller quickly handed out the tickets.
However, Shiwa Mishima, who got the tickets, looked at Mikuo Honda with some trouble:
"There are still a few hours... how should we spend them?"
"Go shopping?" "Too tired..." "Go eat something?" "Full..." "Go to the amusement park?" "Too cold..."
Mikuo Honda, who made several suggestions, didn't understand his girlfriend's intention for a moment... but looking along her gaze, a movie poster appeared...
"'Totoro'?"
This movie officially premiered from early morning, and there was a schedule for the early morning session!
"Ah... Mikuo, you want to watch 'Totoro' too!"
Shiwa Mishima smiled,
"I originally didn't want to watch cartoons; it feels too childish, we are all adults now... But since it's Mikuo's expectation, then I will watch it with you!"
Saying that, Shiwa Mishima happily went to queue for tickets again... leaving only Mikuo Honda somewhat messy~
"Why does it feel like something is wrong?"
Mikuo Honda scratched his head,
"I didn't want to watch it... it was clearly her who wanted to watch it... how did it become accompanying me?"
Sure enough, beautiful women are the most cunning! They can reverse cause and effect!
Just at this time, Shiwa Mishima walked over with a smile:
"Alright, let's enter the venue; just watch 'Totoro' and then go watch 'Love Letter'!"
"..."
"? Does Mikuo have anything to say?"
"... No..." ===== CHAPTER 1327 =====
