Chapter 236: Sadako-san and Naoki-san are about to play happily

On this ordinary workday, Fujita Keiko's mood was actually not very beautiful. Of course, she was happy when she was first transferred to the headquarters, but the work at the headquarters was different from the store. Without the accumulated familiar connections and geographical advantages, since completing a 500 million business at the beginning of the year, she had not had any outstanding performance for more than half a year.

Although her personal performance was considered completed, working like a salted fish all day was really very (enviable) uninteresting.

"Naoki-san, it's really been a long time since I received your call, I'm a little excited." Fujita Keiko realized the rudeness just now and apologized hurriedly. "Sumimasen."

Naoki Nagayama smiled when he heard this: "Hahaha, so that's how it is. The tone of receiving the call just now made me feel like I was some heartless person who abandoned his wife and children~"

Fujita Keiko was choked by such a cold joke and could only respond with a dry laugh: "Ha~ haha~"

Naoki Nagayama finally returned to his normal tone and began to exchange pleasantries:

"Is Keiko-san's work going well recently? After being transferred to the headquarters?"

"Hai, thanks to you, everything is going well."

At this time, even if it wasn't going well, she couldn't talk nonsense. Taking others' pleasantries as concern was the beginning of all misunderstandings.

After a few normal pleasantries, Fujita Keiko returned to her professional tone:

"Naoki-san calling at this time, do you want to purchase another property?"

"Hai, you guessed it~"

Did this still need guessing? Fujita Keiko didn't know what to say for a moment. Fortunately, Naoki Nagayama continued:

"This time there are mainly two things. The first one is that I want to look for a small house in Tokyo for about 10 million."

"10 million?" Fujita Keiko was a bit surprised. Didn't Naoki Nagayama buy houses starting at 100 million?

"Hai, it's a house for my family. It's mainly for investment. I hope the location is close to the bustling area, the cost-performance ratio should be better, and shops are also fine." Adding 2 million to the family's investment was also appropriate.

"So that's how it is, I understand."

Naoki Nagayama continued: "The second thing, Keiko-san, your side should also be involved in real estate business in other cities, right? For example, tea gardens, mountains, etc."

It was all land trading, of course it was involved, but this kind of business generally belonged to local real estate brokerage companies, and there were also specialized companies for mountains and forests. However, a national large real estate company like Mitsui Real Estate naturally had resources in all aspects.

Even if there wasn't, she had to agree at this time! The big financier couldn't be lost! In the end, she could just beg the superior leaders to coordinate resources!

"Hai, of course there is. Mitsui Real Estate's business is all over Japan!"

"That's good, and it doesn't have to be all over Japan, just in Shizuoka. I want to buy a tea garden that is not too big or too small, with a budget between 100 million and 200 million. It's best to be in Shimizu. If there really isn't one, Shizuoka Prefecture is fine."

"Does Naoki-san want to do tea business?" Fujita Keiko remembered that Naoki Nagayama was a creator. Wasn't he in the entertainment industry?

"Ah, no. Didn't I ask Keiko-san to buy the property in Yingu before? Now I have converted it into a tea room, so I want to buy a tea garden to supply tea leaves."

So it was converted into a tea room. Fujita Keiko remembered that clock shop.

However, because of opening a tea room, he wanted to buy a tea garden to supply tea leaves? Shouldn't he buy tea leaves from a tea merchant? Could a tea room consume the tea leaves of a tea garden?

Are rich people all so willful?

However, Fujita Keiko still bowed her head to the financier father: "Naoki-san, I have heard all your requirements... Then I will help you find suitable properties and tea gardens in these few days. The property in Tokyo should be completed in these two days, but for the tea garden, it is expected to take about a week."

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry, take your time~" Naoki Nagayama nodded. "Then I'll trouble Keiko-san."

"Where, where, this is my job, and I also want to thank Naoki-san for your support~"

At Kadokawa in Nihonbashi, Morikawa Gong was reporting on the work situation during this period. In fact, it was the subsequent revenue of *Sailor Suit and Machine Gun*, as well as the follow-up of the completed projects under his hand, and the planning that was being led and executed, etc.

"President, the final distribution income of *Sailor Suit and Machine Gun* is about 1.2 billion. It is impossible to have much growth." Morikawa Gong bowed slightly, said respectfully, and handed over the form.

"Ah, this distribution income is still very excellent in previous years. After all, excluding the others in the 'Production Committee', Kadokawa can also earn more than 600 million." Kadokawa Haruki was a bit absent-minded.

"But compared with *Convenience Store Robbery* and *Hachiko*, it seems very inconspicuous..."

Morikawa Gong also nodded. Tree Friends Film's three movies could be said to have been born out of nowhere. From *Paranormal Activity* at the end of last year to *Convenience Store Robbery* in March, and then to *Hachiko* in the previous two months, it could be said to have been popular from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

Kadokawa Haruki smiled again holding the data form: "And the 'Production Committee' of several movies actually only has Kadokawa Film and Tree Friends Film..."

He said to Morikawa Gong: "It is said to be two parties, but in fact, it is Yin Tangxiu, Naoki Nagayama, Dayou Fangcun, and Kadokawa Film~ Morikawa Department Manager, these three people have earned the profit of an entire company this year!"

In the outside world, people in the film industry thought that Kadokawa Group earned the big head. Who knew that Tree Friends Film, a small production company created for less than 2 years, stood behind Kadokawa Film, this big tree, and earned a lot of money.

Morikawa Gong was also very jealous in his heart. As the head of Kadokawa Film, his annual salary was only a few tens of millions: "Hai, it is indeed enviable."

Kadokawa Haruki was not too envious. Those three people earned a little, but compared with the Kadokawa Bookstore he inherited, it was just a drop in the bucket.

"Ren Bo Qingshui planned a movie recently, right? How is the progress?"

"It is currently being filmed. In the 'Production Committee', besides our own distribution company and publishing house, we also invited TV stations, advertising companies, video tape production companies, etc." Morikawa Gong replied, "It is a standard movie."

"Is that so? Then who from Tree Friends Film is in it? Did Naoki Nagayama participate?"

"Yin Tangxiu is the main director." Morikawa Gong continued, "According to Qingshui-kun, Naoki Nagayama seems to have asked for a small filming crew of three people to shoot a low-budget surfing movie."

"Surfing movie?"

"Hai, it seems that he learned to surf in Hawaii, so he wanted to shoot one after coming back."

Anyway, Morikawa Gong heard Ren Bo Qingshui say this, and Ren Bo Qingshui chatted about it when eating with Yin Tangxiu. The general content could not be said to be wrong.

"Haha, omoshiroi~" Kadokawa Haruki was amused. "As expected of Naoki-san, who is surprising."

"By the way, President, the selection of the Japan Blue Ribbon Awards is about to begin. As Kadokawa with nomination qualifications, we can nominate movies. We?"

"Then report them all. If there are other movie selections, report all that can be reported. After all, we all participated in the production of the movies~"

As a newcomer to the film industry established in 1976, Kadokawa Film had always been considered an 'upstart' in front of old-fashioned film production companies like Toei and Toho, because it won very few movie competition awards.

Kadokawa Haruki couldn't wait to see the faces of these old-fashioned film production companies when Tree Friends Film won a bunch of awards.

The afternoon time after eating and drinking was always very lazy.

The so-called spring sleepiness, autumn fatigue, summer tiredness, winter hibernation~

As long as you want, you can find reasons to sleep in all four seasons.

But as an energetic young man, Naoki Nagayama knew that if he slept through this afternoon, he would suffer from insomnia at night.

In this era, there were no short videos, computer games, etc. to kill time, and watching TV couldn't always watch the programs he liked. At this time, insomnia at night was very difficult to endure.

What? Go to a nightclub and have fun until dawn?

Well... it was indeed a little tempting, but the headache the next day after drinking was unbearable. Moreover, these were not good things for the body.

"Don't wrong me~" Naoki Nagayama's eyes drifted to other places in the shop. Although it was indeed a good thing, it didn't mean there was no intention to tease. "Has Chikako-san gone to school?"

After comprehensive consideration, Naoki Nagayama didn't do those things. Isn't it good to stay at home quietly and enjoy the afternoon time leisurely?

Brew a pot of clear tea, watch TV for a while, and when tired, change to magazines or masterpieces like *One Hundred Years of Solitude*.

Unknowingly, the afternoon time passed quickly.

Until the sky was too dark to see the words, Naoki Nagayama realized it was night and hurriedly began to prepare dinner for himself and Wang Wang Wang.

When he had time, cooking one or two dishes that suited his heart was warmer than always eating outside. And just when Naoki Nagayama was eating at the coffee table,

"Ding ling ling!"

The phone next to him rang suddenly. The egg held by the chopsticks fell to the ground at once, and Wang Wang Wang, who was eating rice next to his face, also raised his head at once.

"Damn! The next one must shoot *Ring*!"

After picking up the phone, it was Dayou Fangcun's voice: "Naoki-san, didn't I disturb you, right?"

Can I say you disturbed my meal...

"Hai, daijobu, Dayou-san, is there anything?"

"Ano, in fact, in early October, there will be a large batch of song newcomer awards to be evaluated. Shinjuku Music Festival, Ginza Music Festival, Yokohama Music Festival, ABC Song Newcomer Grand Prix, etc." Dayou Fangcun listed a series of song festivals. "Yin Teng Chunzi-san's two songs are Naoki-san's works. Does Naoki-san want to participate?"

"Eh? So many song festivals? Isn't it evaluating singers?"

"Of course not only that. There are also Best Song Music Award, Best Lyricist Award, Best Composer Award, etc. Naoki-san's two songs have entered the top ten of the Oricon chart. If there are no accidents, there will definitely be Naoki-san's awards."

"Do I have to go up to receive the award? So many song festivals, it feels like it will be a very troublesome thing..." Naoki Nagayama said in a low voice, looking quite unwilling. "Do I have to go?"

Dayou Fangcun stroked his forehead, trying to keep his voice calm: "This is an award that both creators and singers are looking forward to. Generally, very few people will not go."

"There are also winners who don't go to receive the award, right?" Naoki Nagayama was still procrastinating. "So many awards, it's troublesome to take them."

"So..." Dayou Fangcun controlled his tone of wanting to hit someone. "Such awards are no small honor! The winners are generally very willing to come and then receive the trophy very gratefully!"

"Honor or something... why don't Dayou-san help me receive it~" Naoki Nagayama still didn't want to go, not very wanting to be watched by a group of people. "Creating a mysterious persona is also very cool!"

Dayou Fangcun had a thousand words to say, but he still endured it. The most important thing at present was to let Naoki Nagayama attend the song festival activities.

"Naoki-san, just go up to receive the award at that time, there is nothing else troublesome. You have to prepare for a new movie recently, Naoki-san has nothing to do, right?"

He could only use this to tempt him: "By the way, you can also learn about new debut singers and see if you can find a suitable ethereal voice for the new movie."

"Is that so... it sounds like it makes sense." Naoki Nagayama was persuaded. "Then I will participate."

*Sword Coming*

"Okay, then I will notify you of the itinerary at that time."

In this conversation, the two completely didn't consider the possibility that Naoki Nagayama wouldn't win the award.

It was expected. Among the new idols who debuted this year, newcomer Yin Teng Chunzi could be said to have already ranked in the forefront. In the ranking list competing with the entire entertainment industry, she had two songs in the top ten.

And the lyricist and composer who created these two songs stood out among a group of old-fashioned creators.

If he couldn't win the award, then the credibility of the song festival would be greatly reduced!

Putting down the receiver, Naoki Nagayama quickly eliminated the dinner that was a bit cold, and then went to the piano room.

The *Ring* script that had been suppressed for a long time was put on the agenda, and he planned to write it out tonight.

Sitting in front of the table, Naoki Nagayama began to recall the plot of *Ring*.

Vaguely remembered that several high school students watched a videotape of unknown origin, and then died one after another, attracting the attention of a female reporter, and then the female reporter also watched the videotape and almost scared herself to death...

After that, she found that after the phone rang, there was a burst of inexplicable noise...

And then she went to investigate again...

Eh? Naoki Nagayama tried hard to think for a long time, even listing the general plot of the movie, but the kind of picture that suddenly became clear in his mind still didn't appear.

Naoki Nagayama tried again, and even tried to think about the picture with the word 'Zhen' in the eyes, and the most famous picture of Sadako-san crawling out of the TV... but he always felt separated by a layer.

"What's going on?" Naoki Nagayama, who felt a bit dizzy, was very puzzled. Wasn't it easy to hook out the memory in the past?

But now he vaguely remembered the plot, why was there still no picture? Could it be that if you actively think about it, you will definitely not think of it, just like the subconscious will definitely avoid the main consciousness?

Regarding this special ability of his, Naoki Nagayama felt that he might not have fully understood it...

However, he had already set a Flag before going upstairs. How could he give up at this time?

"If you can't rely on others, then rely on your own real skills!" Naoki Nagayama was ruthless. Anyway, he must get the script out tonight.

After all, he was from a first-class university in his previous life, and he had written many scripts in the past two years. Could he not code words with an outline?

Without the pleasure of literary thoughts flowing like a fountain, the *Ring* script was still perfected bit by bit under Naoki Nagayama's efforts...

"Finally wrote it out!"

Near midnight, Naoki Nagayama looked at the thin script on the table and smiled with satisfaction.

This could be considered his original script!

After simple washing, Naoki Nagayama fell asleep with a tired mind~

However, one thing was unexpected.

The matter of thinking about something during the day and dreaming about it at night refers to when the main consciousness is asleep, the subconscious will replay what was thought during the day in the brain in the form of a dream.

And Naoki Nagayama had thought about *Ring* for a long time before, plus his own special ability, which further magnified the influence of the subconscious.

After falling asleep,

Sadako-san began to play with him happily.

Naoki Nagayama, who was sleeping in the bedroom, began to frown slowly~ ===== CHAPTER 237 =====
