Chapter 1352: You don't think Ultraman is real too, do you?!

After a day, when getting out of the car and walking into the Tree Friend building, Naoki Nagayama felt a bit strange.

"Naoki-san, morning!", "Is it really done by Naoki-san?", "Good morning...", "I didn't expect Naoki-san to be such a person...", "Naoki-san, you're here!", "Naoki-san is really amazing...", "Well done!", "..."

"???"

The employees greeted him and left, occasionally whispering, and with meaningful eyes... Naoki Nagayama was a bit confused.

After arriving at the front desk, he went straight to find Yukika Suzuki:

"Yukika-chan... why do I feel like everyone is acting strange?!"

"Doesn't Naoki-san understand what he did himself?!"

Yukika Suzuki's eyes were slightly red, and her gaze at Naoki Nagayama was as if she were looking at some heartless man!

This gaze actually made Naoki Nagayama feel a bit guilty for a moment... and even more confused:

"What did I do?"

At this time, Xing Jiahua Xing hurriedly walked over, pushed Yukika Suzuki away, and explained to Naoki Nagayama:

"Naoki-san... Yukika-chan is too young, her psychology is not mature enough, so she spoke a bit impulsively..."

"That doesn't matter~"

Naoki Nagayama waved his hand. He has always gotten along with employees in the company, and he wouldn't care about a little girl,

"However... what exactly happened? I just feel like everyone is acting strange..."

"Did Naoki-san forget?"

Xing Jiahua Xing reminded,

"Yesterday was Valentine's Day..."

"Ah, right, I know... so I stayed with Akina at home..."

Naoki Nagayama nodded. These employees wouldn't ask the boss to spend Valentine's Day with them, right?!

Xing Jiahua Xing continued to explain:

"Naoki-san's new book, 'I'm Sorry, I Love You', was released yesterday!"

"Hmm... so?"

"Many couples bought this book as a gift because of Valentine's Day... because Naoki-san's previous books were all thought to be romance novels..."

Xing Jiahua Xing shrugged helplessly,

"But I didn't expect it to be such a tragic story!"

"... You all read it~"

Naoki Nagayama said subconsciously, and then immediately said,

"However... even if that's the case, isn't it love too?! Shouldn't you cherish the love in reality more after reading it?!"

"That's the logic..."

Xing Jiahua Xing nodded, and then sighed,

"But Naoki-san... in such a beautiful atmosphere of Valentine's Day, suddenly being so sad, it's... very inappropriate!"

Yes, people worked hard to pick up and drop off, buy gifts, eat big meals, etc., and in the end, it was "let's break up" or something. Shinji Ono was about to cry, okay!

"..."

Naoki Nagayama also scratched his face a bit awkwardly, and then decisively shifted the blame,

"This is all Shogakukan's sales strategy. They said Valentine's Day and love go very well together!"

Hearing this, Xing Jiahua Xing revealed a speechless expression:

"Maybe the planning staff suffered emotional wounds..."

In a somewhat helpless atmosphere, Naoki Nagayama came to the top-floor office.

And just as he took off his coat and put away some personal items, Otomo Yoshimura knocked on the door and came in hurriedly:

"Naoki-san! I was just looking for you!"

"Hmm? Otomo-san?"

Naoki Nagayama was a bit surprised. Why was Otomo Yoshimura also acting strange so early,

"Did you read the novel too?"

Otomo Yoshimura was asked back: "What novel?"

"It's my new novel 'I'm Sorry, I Love You'... Yesterday's release seems to have made many couples very unhappy..."

Naoki Nagayama introduced the situation slightly, which made Otomo Yoshimura also couldn't help but laugh:

"Haha, who told you to be a killjoy... After reading this novel, I guess even the idea of rolling the sheets is gone! How many lovers did this offend!"

"Sigh..."

Can't two people in love just lie on the bed purely and have a pure spiritual exchange?!

"Alright, alright... I have other things to find you for!"

Otomo Yoshimura was too old to have the energy to worry about love and the like. He said directly,

"Shuichi-san said to have a drink in the evening... It seems there is something to say..."

"What can't be communicated over the phone?"

Naoki Nagayama pointed to the big brother phone on the desk and asked. Instant communication is very convenient!

"I don't know..." Otomo Yoshimura shook his head, "Shuichi-san, this guy, has been very cautious since he entered politics... saying that phone calls will be recorded by communication companies, and private matters are best communicated face-to-face!"

"!"

These words made Naoki Nagayama react. He is not the Naoki Nagayama in the future University of Tokyo, nor is he an ordinary person... In a capitalist society, things like call records can really be bought directly with money!

"How about it, Naoki-san, let's have a drink together in the evening?"

"Good."

Naoki Nagayama nodded and agreed.

After Otomo Yoshimura left, Naoki Nagayama took the elevator to the floor of the film department.

However, he didn't rush to the editing room, but came to the publicity department, wanting to understand the situation of the second trailer of "Jurassic Park" before.

After Eiichiro Watanabe saw Naoki Nagayama, he reported very eagerly:

"Naoki-san, the second trailer is even more successful than the first one!"

"This publicity undoubtedly caused huge topicality, and the movie's popularity is constantly rising!"

"And we did a sample survey. All the audience who have seen this trailer said they will definitely go to the cinema to watch it!"

"..."

Looking at Eiichiro Watanabe's excited appearance, Naoki Nagayama was also convinced that the second stage of preheating far exceeded the original plan.

"That's good! I'm looking forward to the official release!"

"Naoki-san!" Eiichiro Watanabe continued to ask, "When can we see the trial version in advance?!"

"Didn't I say, it will be in the middle of March... there is still a month!"

In fact, it has already been edited, and it is expected to be completed by the end of the month, so Naoki Nagayama said it directly,

"At that time, we need to invite film critics in the industry, as well as some star artists to watch!"

"And media reporters cannot bring photography equipment into the cinema..."

After reiterating the established trial screening plan, Eiichiro Watanabe patted his chest and guaranteed:

"Hai, I will definitely arrange it!"

"Hmm, then I'll leave it to you..."

Without continuing to stay in the publicity department, Naoki Nagayama went straight to the editing room and started to continue editing.

Jurassic Island in the Seto Inland Sea.

After the filming of "Jurassic Park" ended, the popularity on this island decreased a lot, but there were still hundreds of people in the construction team on the island. After work, it was still very lively.

Takashi Makino has been stationed on this island for a long time, supervising the progress of the third phase of the park project, and perfecting other details on the island. When Naoya Sakata is not around, he is the highest representative of the client!

Today, when Takashi Makino was checking construction drawings in the office, he was suddenly called out by construction foreman Akio Nishioka!

"Makino-san!"

Construction foreman Akio Nishioka and two workers brought a young man to the office,

"We caught a thief on the island! He came by kayak!"

"??? Thief?"

Takashi Makino was deeply puzzled. Stealing things on a semi-enclosed island?!

This was the first time he had encountered such a thing... And this also made him react to one thing: there is no police station on this island!

"This..."

Looking at the submissive young man in front of him, Takashi Makino was helpless,

"How should I deal with a thief?!"

"I'm not a thief!!!"

The young man argued loudly,

"I just accidentally came to this island while sea fishing!"

"Sea fishing?"

Construction foreman Akio Nishioka spat,

"Then why did you sneak into the closed venue?! Sneaky? And you ran away after being discovered!"

"This..."

The young man's face turned red, and he couldn't think of any reason for a while.

Takashi Makino waved his hand, signaling the foreman to relax, and then asked peacefully:

"I am Takashi Makino, considered the person in charge here... What is your name?"

"I am Kojiro Hoshino..." After Kojiro Hoshino said his name, he bowed subconsciously, "Nice to meet you, please take care of me!"

"..."

Being treated like this, Takashi Makino and the foreman were both a bit confused... And after Kojiro Hoshino reacted, his face turned even redder!

"Hahaha... still a polite good boy!"

Construction foreman Akio Nishioka laughed,

"Makino-san, I think it shouldn't be a thief..."

"Hehe..."

Takashi Makino also nodded, let Kojiro Hoshino sit down, and then inquired,

"Hoshino-kun, you came to the island, what did you do in the venue?"

"This..." Kojiro Hoshino still wanted to quibble, "I got lost! I saw the venue and wanted to find a phone!"

"Uh... don't tell such lies!"

Takashi Makino waved his hand,

"There are signboards on the island, the port town can be seen from far away... And there are many people on the construction site..."

"Tell me your real purpose, otherwise I will have to have someone take you to the police station in Ehime opposite!"

"..."

Kojiro Hoshino paused, and finally gave up the struggle,

"I saw the trailer and wanted to come and see if there are really living dinosaurs on Jurassic Island!"

"???"

Takashi Makino and construction foreman Akio Nishioka both looked at him in surprise,

"This is a movie... How could you think this is real?!"

"However... from the trailer, it's too realistic!"

Kojiro Hoshino said excitedly,

"After my classmates saw it, they all said that Naoki Nagayama might have built a secret laboratory on the island and really cloned dinosaurs!!"

"... Classmate? You are a high school student!"

Construction foreman Akio Nishioka was even more surprised,

"Hahaha, you don't think Ultraman and little monsters are real too!!"

These words full of sarcasm made Kojiro Hoshino so angry that his eyes widened:

"How can you compare this brachiosaurus with Ultraman! It's not on the same level at all, okay!!"

Seeing that the foreman was going to mock again, Takashi Makino hurriedly stopped him:

"Alright Nishioka-san, you go back to work... This student should have no malice..."

"Heh... alright..."

Akio Nishioka shrugged and took people away with peace of mind, still saying something about having ingredients for drinking at night.

Takashi Makino greeted the angry Kojiro Hoshino to the port town, introducing while walking:

"We all saw it when Naoki-san was filming the movie, the dinosaurs are just models... The realism on the trailer is special effects technology..."

"..."

Kojiro Hoshino had a look of disbelief. The middle-school disease at this age is indeed difficult to change the ideas in his heart.

Until Takashi Makino took him to an exhibition hall:

"This is where materials are stored. Because the Tyrannosaurus Rex model in the movie is too big, it will be exhibited on the island in the future..."

"You can go and see... After you finish watching, go back..."

"Ah, go back by ferry from the port town, the kayak is still too dangerous... You can have someone tie it to the ferry..."

Takashi Makino waved his hand and let the person go directly. Anyway, the town has complete facilities and will have to entertain tourists in the future.

And Kojiro Hoshino looked through the window and saw the realistic Tyrannosaurus Rex model inside... A look of disappointment actually appeared on his face:

"So it's really fake!"

After returning to the office, Takashi Makino hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the phone and dialed out.

Now a trailer has caused people to sneak onto the island. When the movie is really played, won't it cause a riot!

Naoki-san needs to make a contingency plan for this!

Have an open day or something? Let people come in from the front door?!

And then consider contacting the authorities to prepare to establish a permanent security booth on the island to deal with security issues.

Roppongi in the night, even the cold wind cannot extinguish the enthusiasm here.

Among the colorful neon signs, this "Lotus" club is a gathering place that Otomo Yoshimura and Naoki Nagayama often come to. Because the threshold is strict, there will be fewer people~

"Naoki-san... come, cheers!"

Shuichi Yin Tang raised his glass to celebrate with a smile,

"Wish the new book sells well!"

"... Alright, alright!"

After Naoki Nagayama took a sip of wine, he hurriedly signaled Shuichi Yin Tang to stop,

"Don't mention the new book here, I've been besieged by this book all day today!"

"Ah, what's wrong?"

Otomo Yoshimura helped answer:

"Isn't it because he wrote tragedy... and sold it on Valentine's Day!"

"Haha... no wonder!"

The two bad friends looked at Naoki Nagayama's helpless appearance and laughed. It's rare to see Naoki Nagayama's awkward appearance.

After mocking him well, Shuichi Yin Tang talked about the business:

"I'm going to Washington on the 18th... Does Naoki-san have anything to order? For example, Nakai-san's side..."

"Nakai-san's side."

Naoki Nagayama smacked his lips and shook his head,

"The situation on his side has eased a lot... Under the premise that the United States and Japan increasingly need each other, a little economic friction will always disappear."

"If Doi-san keeps her promise and helps communicate a little this time, there shouldn't be too much of a problem."

Shuichi Yin Tang nodded:

"I will remind Doi-san..."

"Shuichi-san is actually going over together this time, there must be a goal to complete, right?"

Naoki Nagayama asked,

"Otherwise, why would you, a newcomer, be brought along?"

"Haha, that's true. Doi-san wants me to understand the American cultural industry and communicate with that side..."

Shuichi Yin Tang shook his wine glass, pointing to something,

"Naoki-san, you also know, that aspect of building the nation with culture!"

"Ah... so that's how it is... Hollywood~"

In this era, Hollywood and Century Avenue in the United States shine brightly on the international stage, faintly becoming the dream land of the Western cultural circle. There is indeed a lot worth learning from Japan.

At this time, Otomo Yoshimura suddenly thought of something:

"Since Shuichi-san is going to deal with people in the American cultural circle... then just go and preside over that matter!"

"What matter?"

Shuichi Yin Tang and Naoki Nagayama both looked over curiously.

"It's the matter of Naoki-san's 'Departures' impacting the Oscars!"

Otomo Yoshimura continued,

"Isn't Yoshihiko Sugiyama preparing to build an overseas distribution company? Now the lobbying in Europe and the United States is being done by him... But the effect is not very significant..."

"So since Shuichi-san has a plan to communicate and interact with that side, he can just coordinate it..."

"Ah, it's this matter!"

Shuichi Yin Tang nodded, a smile appeared on his face,

"That's no problem! Leave it to me!"

He entered politics to protect Tree Friend. He originally thought he would have to wait until he became a real power figure before he could give feedback, but he didn't expect it to be possible now.

And he was originally going to represent Japan to deal with the American art and cultural circle. Acting as a bridge for Japanese filmmakers is equivalent to his job!

"The budget for lobbying funds is 5 million US dollars..."

Otomo Yoshimura said,

"If it's not enough for Shuichi-san, you can mention it at any time..."

"Hmm, if the remittance is troublesome..."

Naoki Nagayama also interjected,

"The money from Tree Friend Capital's US branch can also be used... I will greet Nakai-san!"

There are more than 2 billion US dollars in that account! Taking a part of it out is absolutely no problem~

When Shuichi Yin Tang heard this sentence, his confidence became even greater:

"Haha, then I can rest assured to lobby!" ===== CHAPTER 1353 =====
