Chapter 154: Phew, this evil capitalism!

Confirmed the materials for handling the passport with Kuniharu Morikawa, and agreed to send them tomorrow.

The matter of going to New York at the end of February was settled.

But turning his head, he saw the little dog playing happily on the side~

He picked up Eitaro and lifted him to his eyes: "Eitaro, if I go out, what will you do?"

The little fellow stared at the master innocently, seeming to be "ying ying ying" again in the next second.

Naoki Nagayama thought about the method.

Send to a pet shop for boarding? Too pitiful~

Ask a friend for help? It's better not to trouble others for this kind of thing~

Send back to his hometown for his mother to take care of?... Plan passed!

The house in his hometown is not small, his parents shouldn't mind raising a puppy for a few days~

Early the next morning, Naoki Nagayama started planning the things to be completed before going to New York.

The landscape of the courtyard must be completed, the property procedures in Yingu must be handled well, Ito Junko's debut song must be recorded successfully, and the movie shooting must also be basically completed...

The first two items have no difficulty, just sign and pay, but the last two items seem to require more energy, at least the actors of the movie are not in place yet.

Speaking of which, it doesn't seem very difficult to finish filming this low-budget movie in a month~

After simply solving breakfast,

Naoki Nagayama took Eitaro for a walk and went to Shogakukan.

Reiki Nozawa was talking to Mitsuko Nishihara at the front desk. After seeing Naoki Nagayama, she hurriedly greeted:

"Naoki-san, you are here~ Please come this way, I will notify Editor Morikawa immediately~"

It was clear that she had already been notified.

"Hai, arigato~"

The new front desk little sister Mitsuko Nishihara, who was already looking like a model, led the way in front.

He has been to Shogakukan many times, and Naoki Nagayama could already find the way to the meeting room by himself.

Soon Kuniharu Morikawa came. They were so familiar that they went straight to the topic:

"Naoki-san, you are here~ Did you bring everything?"

"Hai, driver's license, seal, and seal registration certificate are all brought."

Japan does not have a unified ID card. Generally, you can use a driver's license to prove your identity, but if you want to apply for a passport, you still need to use a seal to confirm some documents.

"That's good, then let's go and handle it~"

Through the internal passage of Shogakukan, he directly took a copy of the documents that needed to be filled out, filled them out, took two photos, and then gave them directly to Reiki Nozawa.

After she submitted the materials, he waited for the passport.

"Naoki-san, the passport will be ready in about a week. It is very easy for Japan to travel to the United States. Just fill it out when the time comes."

"Yes, trouble Bangzhi-san~"

After chatting about information such as the time, number of participants, and theme of the exchange activity,

Naoki Nagayama said goodbye.

Passing by the Aoyama shop, he found that the shop door was closed again, and he didn't know what was going on.

He walked back to Shanyingyuan holding Eitaro, who always wanted to play, and prepared lunch for him.

He might not come back at noon today.

"Eitaro, you stay at home today~"

Although he knew it might be useless, Naoki Nagayama still urged: "Don't eat too much dog food~"

Anyway, it is a full day's portion, and he also prepared 2 teething sticks.

After that, he drove to the studio.

The big black studio isolated the movement of the people inside. After Naoki Nagayama pushed the door in, he found that Fangcun Dayou and Yin Tangxiu were both there, and a middle-aged man in a suit was talking to Yin Tangxiu with 3 young people.

"Naoki-san, you are here just in time!" Yin Tangxiu was very happy to introduce when he saw Naoki Nagayama walking in. "This is Kota Ueda from Johnny's, and the 3 members of Shonentai he is responsible for: Kazukiyo Nishikiori, Katsuhide Uekusa, and Noriyuki Higashiyama."

"Is this the Shonentai that will sweep Japan in the future?" Naoki Nagayama thought so in his heart and looked at the members.

Kazukiyo Nishikiori, Katsuhide Uekusa, and Noriyuki Higashiyama were all 16 or 17 years old, but the faces of boys in the Showa era were generally older, and they looked like they were in their 20s. Standing with Naoki Nagayama, he felt he was younger...

The three of them were very respectful and bowed slightly to Naoki Nagayama.

"Xiu-san, what do you think of these three?" Naoki Nagayama had some impressions of these 3 people, but that was just based on the feelings left by the previous life. And now, the real director of the filming is Yin Tangxiu, so he still has to look at his views.

"I just asked about their history. They have a little stage play experience and have also learned performance courses. It feels quite good."

Yin Tangxiu said this in front of several people, just like evaluating a piece of goods, without considering the artists' own views at all. This is also the director's attitude towards newcomers in the industry at present.

"Since Xiu-san also thinks it's okay, then let's do it~" Naoki Nagayama said to Fangcun Dayou happily. "Dayou-san, if there is no problem, sign the contract~"

As for the remuneration, it is naturally negotiated by Fangcun Dayou and the other party's agent Kota Ueda. New artists themselves basically have no say in this transaction.

"Hai, I understand."

In front of others, Fangcun Dayou gave Naoki Nagayama enough face and strictly followed the rules of subordinates.

"Members of Shonentai, I am Naoki Nagayama, please take care of me in the future."

Naoki Nagayama bowed slightly to the 3 teenagers, which was met with their solemn response.

Yin Tangxiu, who did things very quickly, immediately led several people to the studio to familiarize themselves with the script.

Taking advantage of the fact that Fangcun Dayou had not yet negotiated with Kota Ueda, Naoki Nagayama pulled him aside and asked: "How about Yuko Tanaka?"

"With the approval of Ms. Yuko Tanaka herself, the agency has already agreed, it's just the process of signing the contract."

"Then what about Ito Junko's recording studio?"

"I was just about to tell you, it has already been booked, 3 days later."

Fangcun Dayou was a little confused: "Why does Naoki-san suddenly feel so anxious? Did something happen?"

"Hai, I might go to the United States at the end of February, so I want to finish things before then."

"America?" Fangcun Dayou was very surprised. "Is Naoki-san going to travel?"

"No, I am going out for literary exchange. I have serious business!" Traveling or something, of course, will be considered after serious business.

The active and motivated Naoki Nagayama looked for work everywhere in the studio, occasionally bothering Yin Tangxiu to discuss the shooting process, occasionally communicating with the three members of Shonentai to study the deep meaning of the script and performance skills, and occasionally turning around among the staff, wanting to help prepare for the shooting.

Then, he was caught into the small office by Yin Tangxiu, leaving such a sentence:

"Naoki-san, please stay here, don't disturb everyone's normal work anymore."

???

Looking for work is wrong?!

I finally wanted to work actively!

What kind of world is this!!

Is it only employees who can be diligent and hardworking, and the boss must be leisurely in the office!

Phew, this evil capitalism! ===== CHAPTER 155 =====
