Chapter 448: Foreign groups, too impolite!!
At the old Nagayama house in Shimizu City, Shizuoka, Shogo Hamasaki, the head of the guard on duty, was always a bit nervous today.
Yesterday, there were strange people taking pictures with cameras. When he went up to ask, they ran faster than rabbits.
After reporting to Xiong Yuan Nagayama, the big brother also attached great importance to it, thinking that it was very likely to be reconnaissance by a hostile group, and asked the younger brothers of the Nagayama group to strengthen their vigilance.
And today, there was actually a group of guys wearing black high school uniforms, peeking and sneaking around not far away.
"It wouldn't really be a hostile gang coming to the door, would it!" Shogo Hamasaki was so nervous that his palms were sweating, and he hurriedly ran in and found Xiong Yuan Nagayama in the main hall. "Boss Xiong Yuan, there really are people peeking outside!"
Xiong Yuan Nagayama frowned, the fat on his face tightened, looking particularly ferocious: "Oya oya, there really are guys who are not afraid of death! They actually found our headquarters door directly?!
These foreign groups are really too impolite!!!"
At this time, Hayato Nagayama, who came over from the back hall in a kimono, said slowly: "Hamasaki, how many people came?"
"I only saw four or five so far, but they were all peeking at the street corner, so I don't know the real number! Sumimasen!" Shogo Hamasaki replied respectfully.
Xiong Yuan Nagayama said: "Is it an advance team? It looks like they are gathering? Then let's go and catch them off guard first!"
"Xiong Yuan, go from the back door." Hayato Nagayama, who made a cup of tea for himself, signaled. "Bring them over first and ask clearly how many people are coming today."
"Hi, Hamasaki, take a team and go with me." Xiong Yuan Nagayama stood up. His thick neck, round waist, sturdy lower limbs, and strong body were even more suitable for actual combat than Feng Nagayama. "Tell the little ones not to make a sound!"
"I understand!"
Shogo Hamasaki immediately walked to the side room, where a group of tattooed big men who had been called in advance were eating and drinking, waiting for a possible attack.
"Jiangwu, take 5 people and come with me." Shogo Hamasaki directly found the younger brother Jiangwu Huatian. "Don't make a sound."
"Hi!"
Yoshihiro Takenaka, wearing an ill-fitting uniform, and several friends came to Shimizu City. Several guys who were still messing around on campus, after watching "Crows Zero," seemed to have discovered their dreams. Dominate high school, achieve life!
And this morning's newspaper just revealed the yakuza background of Tamao Serizawa, and even published the photo of the Nagayama ancestral home. These guys got hot-headed and ran here to join the organization!
At this time, several people were whispering across the street from the Nagayama ancestral home. "It's really here, right?"
Naoyuki Honda took a newspaper out of his pocket and looked at the photo: "No mistake, this is what was photographed. Boss Serizawa... no, Boss Nagayama's house is here!"
Yoshihiro Takenaka pulled his black uniform and said to the people around him: "Alright, then we will defect to Boss Feng Nagayama today!"
Turning around and facing the main entrance, his eyes were full of enthusiasm: "Don't be guilty, we are going to walk into that door upright!"
"Oh? Walk into that door upright?" A voice suddenly came over.
Yoshihiro Takenaka was so scared that he turned his head. I don't know when, a group of burly men surrounded these high school students.
The strong body blocked the sunlight, but one could see pieces of ferocious tattoos from the collar. The most burly guy grinned, revealing neat teeth, and smiled very fiercely:
"What a crazy idea! Just rely on you few little chickens?"
Yoshihiro Takenaka swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but still stiffened his neck: "Who are you? We are from the Serizawa Army!"
"So that's it, the name is Serizawa Army?" Xiong Yuan Nagayama's smile was even more "kind." "If it's the Serizawa Army, how many members do you have?"
Naoyuki Honda answered: "The Serizawa Army has more than 300 people!"
"Ah! That's quite a lot!" Xiong Yuan Nagayama reached out and pressed Yoshihiro Takenaka's shoulder. "Then you have to tell me carefully!"
"Tell what? What are you going to do? Let go! Stay away from me, you hurt me!"
"Don't come over!!!"
More than ten minutes later, inside the Nagayama ancestral home, Hayato Nagayama drank a cup of tea to suppress the emotion in his heart, and looked at the high school students squatting at the door of the main hall, each with some bruises on their faces.
"So, you're saying these guys ran over here to join Kaede's ranks because they saw the movie Kaede starred in and read the reports in the newspapers?"
Xiong Yuan Nagayama also had an expression of not knowing what to say on his face: "Yeah, I thought it was another organization that attacked. I didn't expect it to be because of this..."
"Really... unseemly..." Hayato Nagayama didn't want to look at the few people outside the door anymore. "Throw them all out!"
"Hi!"
Hayato Nagayama stood up and originally wanted to go back to the inner room, but suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Xiong Yuan, didn't you tell the local media before? National newspapers can't help it, but local newspapers actually publish our front door?!"
"Hi! I will go and have a good chat with them!" Xiong Yuan Nagayama showed a "kind" smile again.
Naoki Nagayama, far away in Tokyo, was in the backyard of the sumo hall. When he heard Feng Nagayama talk about this, his eyes widened:
"There is such a thing? Can't those guys distinguish between movies and reality?"
"There are always some idiots~" Feng Nagayama also laughed. "But Dad still scolded me, saying something about adding trouble to the organization."
"Hahaha, he wouldn't cut off your fingers, would he?" Naoki Nagayama laughed.
"He thinks beautifully. If he does that, I will stay in Tokyo and not go back! This place is much more interesting than Shimizu."
Feng Nagayama said confidently. Since coming to Tokyo, he missed the small city of Shimizu less and less, especially now that his fame had risen, and some people invited him to do announcements and activities, and he had earned a lot of money.
After initially experiencing the life of debauchery in Tokyo, the third generation of the Yamaguchi-gumi Shizuoka branch? What is that? Is it more interesting than a nightclub? Is it better-looking than the young ladies in the club?
Looking at his cousin who was corrupted by the enjoyment of capitalism, Naoki Nagayama sighed. He didn't know if bringing him into show business was the right thing.
"In short, Brother Feng, you have to control your body!" Wine and sex hurt people. Feng Nagayama now had some dark circles under his eyes.
"Haha, daijobu, my body is very good!" Feng Nagayama laughed very happily.
This kind of thing cannot be persuaded. If you ask too much about the life that has suddenly become proud, you may be hated by others.
However, Feng Nagayama, this guy, is a yakuza member himself. If it really doesn't work, let his grandfather and uncle catch him back and beat him a few times, and cut off a few fingers.
The trend of "Crows Zero" swept across Japan. Recently, whether it was in newspapers or on TV, it was news about this movie.
That single "Into the Battlefield" also sold very well. The runaway gangs and racing gangs on the street at night liked to use this song as accompaniment when they were speeding.
And the disco in Takadanobaba, because it was the only nightclub in Tokyo that could use all the materials of "Crows Zero," also attracted more attention from young people. It is said that the disco is now open until morning every day, 24 hours a day.
However, at the same time, criticism of this movie also came together.
When Naoki Nagayama arrived at the studio, Dayou Fangcun and Xiuyi Yin Tang were discussing the next response measures in the office.
"Naoki-san~" Dayou Fangcun saw Naoki Nagayama coming and continued, "The focus of media reports is that the movie 'Crows Zero' beautifies violence, does not reflect the cruelty of violence, and will have an impact on viewers whose worldview has not yet been formed."
"Sure enough, is it this aspect?" Naoki Nagayama sat down, not worried. "Didn't we discuss it?"
Xiuyi Yin Tang interrupted: "Actually, there are Naoki-san's scandals and the lead actor's yakuza background, etc., but those actually can't stir up any waves."
"Cough cough..." Hearing the scandal, Naoki Nagayama could only cough strategically. "In short, did the method of pulling the past bloody violent movies together on the chariot, which we discussed before, work?"
Dayou Fangcun frowned: "This... Naoki-san, actually we used a similar method before when we were 'Gas Station Robbery', and we also used it when dealing with Toei later. It seems that peers are already familiar with it, and it doesn't have the effect it had before."
"Ha, sure enough, you can't underestimate the guys in show business, they are all human spirits."
Naoki Nagayama was not surprised. Tricks will get old after being used once. The second time is already lucky.
Xiuyi Yin Tang asked: "Then what should we do next?"
"What to do?" Naoki Nagayama smiled. "Arrange for people to compete with them, let this fire continue to burn!"
"???" The other two were very surprised.
"Hot spots are hyped up! Our movie originally faced young people, but as the heat continues to rise, those middle-aged people, and even the elderly, will notice it!" Naoki Nagayama said. "Anyway, they can't restrict our release. The more popular the topic, the better our box office!"
"However, in this way, the reputation of our movie..." Xiuyi Yin Tang was a bit concerned. "When evaluating..."
"Xiuyi-san, this is a commercial movie, box office is our ultimate goal." Naoki Nagayama never thought about relying on this movie to win awards. "Academy Awards, Blue Ribbon, it's good to have them, and don't need to care too much if you don't."
"This..."
Seeing that Xiuyi Yin Tang was still a bit unwilling, Naoki Nagayama comforted: "Besides, this movie may not necessarily fail to be evaluated.
When this topic is argued to the end, we guide the topic back to social issues, how to deal with bad phenomena, violent groups, etc... This kind of thing can't argue any results in the newspaper."
Everyone is just arguing.
Naoki Nagayama continued: "At that time, at worst, we will issue some statements, saying that we filmed this movie to arouse society's attention to bad phenomena, so as to improve this social problem, blah blah blah..."
Dayou Fangcun and Xiuyi Yin Tang looked at Naoki Nagayama: "Naoki-san, you really know how to whitewash!"
"Haha, anyway, just respond to these step by step."
Always being targeted by traditional big movie manufacturers, Naoki Nagayama is not very excited now. He is strong, let him be strong, the breeze blows the mountain post.
Anyway, in the complicated vanity fair of the film industry, he actually doesn't want to get involved too much. Just film movies and make money~
After talking about "Crows Zero," Naoki Nagayama continued to ask about other things: "By the way, Dayou-san, about the 'Twilight Meow Meow' program, has Fuji TV replied?"
"Actually, I asked Fuji TV before, and Daitai-san is currently fighting for it with the station's leaders." Dayou Fangcun said.
Why does this statement sound so much like official perfunctory? Fighting for something with the leaders...
"I remember when we met last time, Daitai-san was very interested in this program?" Naoki Nagayama was a bit puzzled. "Did something happen?"
Dayou Fangcun also nodded slightly: "Maybe some situation occurred~"
Actually, at this time at Fuji TV, Daitai Sugiura and Rumi Nishi were fighting for the third time with Department Head Kazuteru Takano,
"Kazuteru Department Head, this program definitely has the potential to be a hit, and it is a joint plan by Yasushi Akimoto and Naoki Nagayama, plus the support of the burning agency, it already has considerable resources."
Kazuteru Takano naturally knew, but he had no way at this time: "However... the station head thinks that for this kind of program, we can actually produce it ourselves, and don't need to find people from outside."
In fact, most TV programs in this era were produced by the station's production bureau itself. There would be outsourcing to production companies, but the leaders were generally relevant personnel of the TV station.
But this time, not only the planning, but also the production was done by outsiders, which made the TV station's leaders have some concerns.
"However... this is indeed a good program!" Daitai Sugiura said sincerely. "It will definitely make the TV station's ratings go to the next level!"
Kazuteru Takano sighed: "However, if the control is not in our hands..."
But he let go of his mouth again: "However, if the general producer of this program is from our TV station, and that idol operation company can also have control..."
Rumi Nishi spoke quickly: "Isn't this snatching this program!!"
"Things in show business, how can you say snatching?" Kazuteru Takano's face remained unchanged. "It's just cooperation. If the conditions don't work and can't be negotiated, you can not cooperate~"
Daitai Sugiura was silent, and the young Rumi Nishi realized the gray area of show business for the first time.
The silent atmosphere lasted for a while, Daitai Sugiura took a deep breath:
"I understand. In that case, I will continue to communicate with Naoki-san."
"Well, that's the best."
"However... Department Head, actually this program, if it weren't for the fact that Naoki-san and we have cooperated once and trust us more, he wouldn't necessarily find Fuji TV. Other TV stations are also choices."
Daitai Sugiura reminded his own department head, "If Naoki-san finally chooses other TV stations..."
"Other TV stations are not good people either!" Kazuteru Takano knew the personality of his competitors very well. "They will also ask for control."
Daitai Sugiura naturally knew, but saying these things now was nothing more than wanting to fight for the greatest interests for Naoki Nagayama, after all, he found Fuji TV for his face:
"However, TV stations with worrying ratings will propose better conditions, whether in shares or purchase costs..."
"Wu..."
This is indeed a problem, but any TV station with vision can see the potential of this program.
If Naoki Nagayama chooses other TV stations, then not only did Fuji TV lose a program, but other TV stations might get a chance to overtake!
Kazuteru Takano pondered for a while: "In short, Daitai-kun, you go communicate first. On the basis of ensuring the TV station's control, the purchase cost can be relaxed a bit. If it doesn't work, I will discuss it with the upper level at that time, and then I will talk to Naoki Nagayama!"
"Then I will trouble the department head!"
Daitai Sugiura nodded, and then pulled Rumi Nishi out of the office. ===== CHAPTER 449 =====
