Chapter 1339: Young man, it
In the editing room of Tree Friend, Naoki Nagayama is working hard with a group of employees on special effects.
"Resolution is the most important! It must be so that people can't see it even with a magnifying glass..." "Increase the frame rate so that the human eye can't distinguish it!!" "Must be real and vivid! Can't let people see that this is fake!" "Action, the action can't be stiff!" "..."
Xiaosen Zhengxiao stared at the screen at the scene when the Tyrannosaurus Rex first appeared. On the screen, the water in the water cup was trembling,
"Must be full of oppression, hear the sound before seeing the person..."
"Can't we use an elephant's?" "Giraffe!" "Rhino, rhino is the most solid!" "Refer to the appearance of the little monster in Ultraman!" "The appearance of the little monster in Ultraman is biubiubiu" "..."
Everyone was discussing, and Naoki Nagayama, who really made the decision, was thinking silently...
"Why not synthesize it with other sounds?!"
"Must be heavy, but not too rigid... hitting the ground with a hammer definitely won't work!"
"Try smashing a cement pier on the ground!"
"Might be too crisp..."
"Then try a wooden stake... and finally synthesize it with other sounds."
"..."
Thus, another stumbling block on the road to editing was moved away! The progress bar moved forward by one-thousandth~
At noon, Naoki Nagayama also returned to the office on the top floor. After all, he is the boss, and there are always privileges!
"Naoki-san!"
Otomo Fangcun walked in excitedly, holding a record in his hand,
"Hurry up and listen
What kind of Americans who are proud for a lifetime and would rather die than be unfree!!
In the face of financial pressure, don't they still have to obediently continue to be obedient and work?!
"Alright... let's solve the problems one by one!"
Naoki Nagayama patted the shoulders of the directors around him,
"Everyone, consolidate the problems you've thought of, and we'll submit them all at once..."
"We are currently in the initial stage; it's normal to discover problems, and friction is also normal. For the sake of the final effect, everyone, please overcome it!"
"Hai!" X4
Ever since the editing began, Naoki Nagayama has already dealt with similar situations many times. There's no way around it; the special effects software of this era can't achieve the exquisiteness of later generations, so the special effects shots will definitely have flaws.
However, the technology in the starting stage also has its advantages, which is that there are many places that can be customized. As long as you understand the technology, you can even adjust the parameters yourself privately.
It's just that it requires a lot of manual labor~
By the time a few people continued to bury their heads in the production of special effects, the passage of time seemed as if it didn't exist; a few hours flashed by in an instant.
"Naoki-san?"
The door to the editing room was knocked, and then they saw Otomo Yoshimura walk in,
"Are you off work yet? We're going out!"
"??"
Naoki Nagayama, whose head was a bit fuzzy, hadn't reacted yet,
"Out? Go out to do what?!"
"Go out to drink!" Otomo Yoshimura said with dissatisfaction, "Didn't we agree to go to Roppongi tonight to relax!"
"Uh... ah!"
Naoki Nagayama remembered; Otomo Yoshimura had made an appointment with him before to go to Roppongi to drink together today... actually, in reality, it was to communicate about the matter on Xiu-yi-san's side.
"Okay..."
He stood up, just wanting to say goodbye to all his subordinates... but discovered that they all revealed longing eyes... Everyone in the editing room was a man, and after being cooped up in a room with a group of men for so many whole days, one can imagine how thirsty this group of guys is!
"Uh... how about everyone goes together?!"
"Long live Naoki-san!", "Thanks to Naoki-san!", "Naoki-san is the best!", "..."
How to make many men regard you as a foster father in one sentence?! You just need to call them when you go drinking!
Letting them go tidy themselves up, Naoki Nagayama and Otomo Yoshimura walked slowly to the lobby together and saw Xiu-yi Yin, who was already waiting...
"Otomo-san, Naoki-san, you've arrived... let's set off now!"
"Xiu-yi-san~ we still have to wait a moment... and call another car by the way..."
Otomo Yoshimura shook his head and sighed,
"Naoki-san even brought a group of little brothers! He is truly worthy of being the inherited bloodline of the yakuza!"
Bringing them along when going out to clubs, this feeling is very much like a boss taking his little brothers out to be dashing!
"... what little brothers!"
Naoki Nagayama was a bit embarrassed,
"Everyone was just working together... I just couldn't bear to leave them behind like this!"
"Heh... and you still say you're not the successor of the Nagayama Group!"
After listening for a while, Xiu-yi Yin understood, and a smile appeared on his face:
"Hahaha, that's why everyone in the company thinks Naoki-san is approachable... and they all listen to him!"
"Alright, alright, the club is so big, it doesn't matter if there are a few more people, and it can be even livelier... in case a conflict arises, there are also helpers!"
This is not a matter of worrying about nothing; since the beginning of the year, there have been several conflicts between different societies in Roppongi's nightclubs...
With the real estate market becoming increasingly hot, yakuza groups that rose to power through forced demolition and gray industries are becoming more and more numerous. The increasingly rampant underworld has made many people a bit worried!
"Yeah... the Yamaguchi-gumi is also becoming more and more rampant!"
Otomo Yoshimura sighed with emotion,
"And there are underworld gangs from other countries, like the Vietnamese gang, the Seoul gang, the Fuqing gang, and so on..."
Tokyo is an international city, and there are people from every country... in places that can't be seen, there are countless types of societies.
The Yamaguchi-gumi of this era has not yet been educated by the iron fist of the state. The members are yakuza, so naturally, it's impossible for them to do any good deeds, let alone participate in disaster relief to improve their reputation.
Xiu-yi Yin looked at Naoki Nagayama and sighed:
"If you watch 'The Legend of Hayato' now, you will definitely have more feelings!"
"Yeah, if the Nagayama Group of Naoki's family hadn't disbanded, maybe it could also occupy a place in Tokyo!"
"..."
Hearing his two good friends go further and further off-topic, Naoki Nagayama quickly interrupted,
"Alright, alright, the underworld can't be brought to the table... in the end, don't they all have to be whitewashed! Just like the Corleone family in 'The Godfather'..."
"Haha, that's right!"
Xiu-yi Yin suddenly said,
"Naoki-san, let's film the sequel to 'The Legend of Hayato' as a whitewashing story! Hahaha... your uncle Xiong Yuan Nagayama is the second-generation godfather, and Naoki-san can be the third!"
"What nonsense are you spouting! If we're going to play the third generation, it should be Feng-dage!"
"..."
Amidst such bragging, Masataka Komori and the others all changed into a set of clothes and walked down looking like human beings.
Otomo Yoshimura glanced at them and nodded:
"Alright... the Tree Friend Brotherhood is all here, let's go!"
"..."
Leaving Xu Mudao and the others with confused faces...
Winter gets dark very early, but Roppongi under the night sky is brightly lit. The mama-san wearing a kimono at the entrance of the club to see off guests adds a bit more ambiguity to this area.
In many shops along the street, "Roppongi Pure Heart School" sung by Akina is playing, along with a series of other city-pop style songs, matched with colorful neon lights, appearing decadent and drunken~
"Akina's song, huh~"
Otomo Yoshimura nodded and sighed,
"It really fits the atmosphere of Roppongi!"
Xiu-yi Yin interjected:
"It was all written by Naoki-san. Naoki-san's understanding of Roppongi is simply too deep!"
"You are slandering me!"
Naoki Nagayama cried out,
"I definitely haven't come here as much as you guys!"
"Hahaha~"
Amidst such dialogue, the people in the two cars stopped at the familiar Carnet. The first stop tonight is here.
The mama-san of the shop, Motoko Haraguchi, naturally saw Otomo Yoshimura and the others at the first glance and greeted them very enthusiastically:
"President Yoshimura, Secretary Yin... Teacher Nagayama... welcome to Carnet..."
Her address for everyone accurately found the field they are most valued in... even Xiu-yi Yin, who just joined the Social Democratic Party, was no exception.
"Haraguchi-san, good evening!"
Otomo Yoshimura took the lead without hesitation and pointed to Masataka Komori and the others behind him,
"These are all with us, please prepare a large private room..."
"Hai!!"
Motoko Haraguchi wasn't flustered either; just like a hotel, clubs always keep rooms for important clients.
"Has Assemblyman Noda arrived?"
"Noda-kun hasn't come tonight yet~"
"Then when he arrives, please ask him to come to our side!"
"Hai!"
Motoko Haraguchi enthusiastically and gently led the group into a relatively large private room, then invited the prettiest young ladies in the shop to accompany them, and finally served fruit drinks and so on, only then did she go out to continue entertaining guests.
Xiu-yi Yin and the others also started drinking and singing one after another, having a great time...
And in the gap, Xiu-yi Yin leaned over and said:
"Naoki-san, I have also discussed the proposal outline of 'Building a Nation with Culture' that you gave me before with some people in the Social Democratic Party these past few days... the young people are all a bit tempted and are willing to join the drafting working group of this proposal..."
"Yoshihiko Noda, who will be here in a moment, also expressed support for this proposal..."
"Mm-hmm!"
Naoki Nagayama nodded. Originally, this proposal would succeed in a few years, which shows that it originally fit the current era background. Even if the bubble in Japan bursts, the original economic achievements within the lost thirty years still exist~
"Xiu-yi-san, although you need to unite with others, you must obtain the leadership of this proposal..."
"Don't let others snatch the results!"
"That's for sure!"
Xiu-yi Yin raised his wine glass and took a sip of the colorful cocktail, his tone full of pride,
"I have already communicated with Doi-san many times in private... she is also very optimistic about this proposal and hopes that it can become the first policy after she takes office!"
"She knows that I initiated it, so it won't be snatched away by others!"
"That's good~"
Naoki Nagayama didn't continue to remind him much. Some things shouldn't be repeated more than three times. The black-heartedness of this group of guys in the political arena is far higher than that of the entertainment industry. Xiu-yi-san will understand once he experiences it~
Anyway, in the end, Tree Friend still needs to support from behind... so he's not afraid of being targeted!
Drinking and bragging, before long, everyone's faces had a bit of tipsiness... and just at this moment, Yoshihiko Noda arrived!
I saw the current Yoshihiko Noda, full of spirit... walking into the private room with two friends.
As a member of the ruling party, he gained the greatest benefits along with the Social Democratic Party, and now holds an important middle-level position in the decision-making layer... for a young newly promoted assemblyman, it is already very generous.
"Xiu-yi-san! Otomo-san! Naoki-san!"
From the address, one can see that he now values his status in the political arena even more...
"Sashiburi!!"
"Long time no see!" Otomo Yoshimura still replied enthusiastically, "Noda-kun, you are really busy with official business now!"
"Haha, just took office, there really is a pile of things!"
Yoshihiko Noda sat on the booth, raised his wine glass,
"Come, come, come, I'll punish myself with a cup..."
"Haha, good drinking capacity..."
Xiu-yi Yin also smiled and raised his wine glass to take a sip. Naoki Nagayama nodded while quietly sizing up this assemblyman who had suddenly risen to a high position.
The current Yoshihiko Noda no longer has the caution of their first meeting. Whether talking or laughing, he is full of energy; it's as if he has changed into a different person...
It looks like there must be many people chasing and fawning over him in his daily work and life!
"Naoki-san..."
For some reason, Yoshihiko Noda suddenly found Naoki Nagayama,
"What have you been busy with lately?!"
"Me, of course I'm busy with the editing of 'Jurassic Park'!"
Naoki Nagayama responded with a smile,
"I can't come out of the editing room every day, and I stay for a whole day once I'm in..."
He pointed to Masataka Komori and the others beside him and introduced:
"Look, these are all guys who work with me. It was hard to bring them out to relax together today..."
"I see... you're really busy!"
Yoshihiko Noda swept a glance at the several directors beside him and nodded, not intending to get to know them,
"It's good to be busy... when the movie is released, I will definitely go to support Naoki-san! I'll book the whole theater!! More box office!!!"
These words sounded like charity, making Otomo Yoshimura's eyes flicker, and the slightly younger Munao Matsuo and Tomoyuki Nishimoto's expressions changed a bit... but they weren't discovered under the dim lights.
"Hahaha, then I have to thank Noda-kun!"
Naoki Nagayama thanked him with a smile and even raised his wine glass to offer a toast,
"Come, come, come, let's have a toast first!"
"Hahaha, good, good, good, let's drink together, drink together..."
Yoshihiko Noda didn't refuse, drinking the wine in big gulps, and soon a flush appeared on his face.
Seeing Yoshihiko Noda's attitude toward Naoki Nagayama, Xiu-yi Yin was also a bit surprised and angry just now, and didn't even want to continue inviting him to participate in his proposal... but Naoki Nagayama's eyes let him continue...
"Noda-kun!"
Xiu-yi Yin said,
"There is something I want to chat with you about..."
"Hmm, Yin-san, please speak!"
For Xiu-yi Yin, who is a member of Takako Doi's planning team, Yoshihiko Noda still respects him very much.
"It's like this..."
Xiu-yi Yin said,
"Doi-san recently asked me to plan a proposal... it's about a new administrative strategy..."
"But currently the team is short of manpower, so I hope to invite young party members to participate..."
He took a document bag out of his briefcase:
"This is the preliminary outline, you can take it back and have a look..."
"If Noda-kun is willing to join, we will be very welcome!"
Because he was a bit angry in his heart, Xiu-yi Yin's tone of recruitment wasn't that enthusiastic, but instead appeared a bit arrogant.
He didn't even give a general explanation of "Building a Nation with Culture," just dryly handed over a draft...
However, Yoshihiko Noda happened to fall for this. He believed that this kind of opportunity itself was very rare. Being able to join a team planning for the Prime Minister is an appreciation for someone with insufficient qualifications, so he was still a bit excited in his heart:
"Hai, Xiu-yi-san! I will read it carefully!"
"I will give you an answer tomorrow!!!"
Xiu-yi Yin nodded after hearing this:
"Good... then I'll wait for your answer!"
Actually, saying this means it's already more than half done; Yoshihiko Noda will likely join this team.
Otomo Yoshimura saw that the matter here was settled and hurriedly smoothed things over:
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about official business here! We are here to relax! Come, come, come, drink..."
"Haha, Otomo-san is right, let's drink!"
"Cheers!"
The atmosphere inside the private room became lively again, but several people had their own thoughts... the expressions on their faces were different, very wonderful~
Naoki Nagayama watched coldly while drinking, only feeling that humans are truly a wonderful creature, actually undergoing such big changes in a short period of time...
This session was at Carnet. Next, the group also went to nightclubs like Black Lotus and Blue Rose nearby, drinking, singing, and dancing...
The rhythm of the taxi section echoed in the nightclubs of Roppongi, and the alcohol of the cocktails flowed in the blood vessels. Everyone was immersed in the psychedelic and wanton atmosphere, unable to help but reveal their original appearance...
By the time they separated from Yoshihiko Noda and the others, Xiu-yi Yin spoke with some indignation:
"Naoki-san, I didn't expect this guy to be so flamboyant! He actually dared to disrespect you!"
"He shouldn't have been allowed to participate in this proposal!"
"Haha, it's nothing... he himself is a star assemblyman, which is a good help! It will help Xiu-yi-san's proposal!"
Naoki Nagayama shook his head; this was originally human nature,
"Besides, for a young person, it's normal to be inflated!"
"... Naoki-san, he is older than you!"
"Uh... then it's also normal to be inflated~"
Naoki Nagayama shook his head, looked at Otomo Yoshimura, and then beckoned to Xu Mudao:
"Otomo-san, Mudao-kun... there's no problem with controlling Yoshihiko Noda, right?!"
"Of course!"
Otomo Yoshimura nodded seriously,
"Besides the scandals and black materials... during this period of time, I have also arranged a lot of funds... for his wife and younger brother..."
"Oh? Did they accept it?"
"Yeah... in Tokyo, what doesn't cost money?!"
Otomo Yoshimura said with a smile,
"I used the form of a supplementary card for a business card to cover their daily expenses... they might still think it's Yoshihiko Noda's salary card!"
"Tsk tsk tsk... Otomo-san is truly black-hearted!"
Xiu-yi Yin clicked his tongue twice, looked at the tail lights that had already disappeared, and sighed,
"Yoshihiko Noda... doesn't know yet that he is already our pawn~"
Thinking of Yoshihiko Noda's frivolous appearance in the club earlier, Naoki Nagayama only felt that one sentence fit the current state of mind very well...
Watching him build a vermilion building, watching him feast guests, watching his building collapse...
It's just that I don't know when Yoshihiko Noda will understand~
