Chapter 254: Don't tell Xiu-san about running for the Oscars yet

At the age of 20, after resting for a whole day, the slight discomfort in the body naturally disappeared immediately.

Starting early in the morning, Naoki Nagayama started morning running again, and after chatting with old man Qingshan Xin on the way, he returned to Shanyingyuan.

"Yingtailang, watch the house well!"

After preparing dog food for the dog, Naoki Nagayama was ready to go to the studio. On the way, he was thinking about whether there was a timed feeding machine, otherwise he couldn't let Yingtailang eat small meals frequently.

He went to the recording studio on the way and got the recording tape of *Silent Love*.

When Naoki Nagayama arrived at the editing room of the studio, he found the bearded Xiao Sen Xiaoshen Zhengxiao. The whole editing room was also filled with the smell of smoke and bento.

"Xiaoshen Zhengxiao-kun, didn't you go back last night?" Naoki Nagayama hurriedly opened the window for ventilation. "The editing of this movie is not urgent, you don't have to work so hard~"

"Hai, it's just that I happened to edit to an important part before, so I worked overtime on a whim."

Answering Naoki Nagayama on the surface, Xiao Sen Xiaoshen Zhengxiao said in his heart: "Naoki-san, you are not in a hurry, but I am in a hurry... If I don't hurry up, I might have my work snatched by Xiu-san!"

"Haha, is that so?" Naoki Nagayama couldn't interrupt the employee's work enthusiasm. However, Xiao Sen Xiaoshen Zhengxiao's sloppy appearance was really an eyesore, and Naoki Nagayama even smelled a bit of sour smell. "Xiaoshen Zhengxiao-kun, you should go and rest first, and by the way, tidy up. It just so happens that I'll come and see what's already edited."

"Hai, then I'll go tidy up first! But there's no need to rest, I'm not sleepy."

Seeing Naoki Nagayama coming, Xiao Sen Xiaoshen Zhengxiao also knew that he couldn't operate for the time being, so he nodded and prepared to go to the nearby convenience store to buy some disposable toiletries and breakfast.

Naoki Nagayama was checking the work results of Xiao Sen Xiaoshen Zhengxiao for the day and a night at the editing workbench.

【To tell the truth, I have been using Yeguo Reading to follow the updates recently. The source switching is good, the reading tone is many, and the Android and Apple versions are both available.】

At the same time, Shan Cun Min Long, the minister of the Film Business Planning and Sales Department of Toei Film, who had contact with Shuyou Film a long time ago, was having a meeting.

"Is there any confidence in the Blue Ribbon Award this year?" Shan Cun Min Long asked the staff present directly.

Zhong Ye Tou responded: "Although the box office of *The Life of O-Ryu* has basically been determined to be in the top ten of the year, if you want to win an award..."

"So there is no confidence?"

"Although it's a bit discouraging to say so, there is indeed a gap with the top few. Kadokawa's *Hachiko Monogatari* box office is far ahead, and it is difficult to compete for Best Picture and Best Director."

It was Zhong Ye Tou who was answering the minister's question. At this time, the minister actually knew the situation. As a confidant, Zhong Ye Tou naturally knew that this meeting was actually just adjusting the competition direction of the Blue Ribbon Award.

"However, the biggest flaw of *Hachiko Monogatari* is that the protagonist of the film is a dog. This film absolutely cannot compete for awards such as Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, etc."

"In addition, Toho's new *Kamata March* has good momentum, which may also pose a threat to us."

Shan Cun Min Long nodded, but still said: "Don't worry too much. It's just a movie that has just been released. By the time the reputation and such are shaped, it will be too late."

Then he said to other staff in the office: "Then, colleagues, let's work hard for the Best Actor and Actress of the Blue Ribbon Award!"

After the meeting, Shan Cun Min Long kept Zhong Ye Tou behind.

"Zhong Ye, how was it when I asked you to contact that screenwriter Naoki Nagayama before? Is he willing to provide us with scripts?"

"Shan Cun Minister, I'm very sorry, I haven't been able to contact him..."

"... Zhong Ye, is that guy unwilling to contact us?"

"No, it means that I can't contact him at all... This person Naoki Nagayama protects his privacy very well. He is not familiar with agents and such in the industry, and he doesn't participate in activities and other gatherings in the industry at all... Even well-known intermediaries in the industry don't have his contact information."

Zhong Ye Tou was also very distressed. If it wasn't for the fact that what he was doing was not suitable for Shuyou Film to know, he would have directly contacted Naoki Nagayama through Fangcun Dayou of Shuyou Film.

"This person... is he an autistic patient?"

"Not really. He even participated in the music festival of Yingu the day before yesterday and was exposed by the newspaper for a scandal."

"Music festival..."

Shan Cun Min Long also had a headache. These capable creators all have this or that problem.

"In short, continue to look for opportunities to contact. I remember Asahi TV once cooperated with him, and Fuji TV also invited him to appear on the program several times. You can go and ask."

"Hai!"

Fangcun Dayou also arrived at the studio when it was close to noon.

Seeing his pale face and wearing a pair of sunglasses indoors, it looked like he had just woken up from a hangover.

Learning from the employees that Naoki Nagayama was already there, he walked towards the editing room.

"Naoki-san, has your body recovered?"

"Hai, just a small cold. But Dayou-san, you have to protect your body! Don't drink too much when you are so old." Naoki Nagayama took a look and kindly advised, "When you reach middle age, you must pay attention to health preservation!"

"I usually take good care of myself!" Fangcun Dayou retorted casually. "It just so happens that you are here, I have something to tell you."

"? Nani?"

Naoki Nagayama followed him to the office and very thoughtfully poured two cups of hot water.

Fangcun Dayou held the water cup: "Naoki-san, I was drinking with Kadokawa Haruki yesterday."

"Eh? Did Haruki-san invite you to drink alone? Or does Kadokawa have something?"

"It's the same." Fangcun Dayou directly stated the matter that he and Kadokawa Haruki discussed yesterday.

Naoki Nagayama was a bit confused: "It doesn't matter if you name it or something, but, the Oscars?"

"Hai, this movie *Hachiko Monogatari* is impeccable in terms of innovation and other aspects. I think it has potential." Fangcun Dayou expressed his thoughts.

Naoki Nagayama wiped his face: "It's not that the quality is not good... But Dayou-san, I just thought of coming to the studio to edit the movie after I got better today. You suddenly told me about the Oscars or something, and I haven't prepared anything..."

"Besides, wouldn't Xiu-san be even more shocked if he knew?"

Fangcun Dayou waved his hand, not caring at all: "Don't tell Xiu-san for the time being. Anyway, he is very busy filming movies now. Just tell him when participating in the ceremony at the end, whether he wins or not."

Eh? This seems very interesting...
