Chapter 463: Is the gap between people really this big?!

Just like the lyrics in a song say, it rained all night, and it was a good day when he got up early.

Through the thin cloud layer in the sky, the gentle daylight scattered on the lush green trees, making the leaves appear denser; the full moisture in the air was slightly stuffy, but it dissipated silently in the cool morning breeze, leaving only the unique fresh scent after the rain.

Naoki Nagayama was driving a convertible, his fluffy bangs swaying mischievously in the wind in front of the tea-colored sunglasses on his face, making him have to reach out and brush them aside.

Because both meetings today were relatively formal, Naoki Nagayama rarely put on his suit, but the white shirt hadn't been ironed, so he temporarily found a black shirt to replace it.

When he arrived at the studio, the time was already a bit late, and he hurried in:

"Hua-chan, are Dayou-san and the others ready?"

The new receptionist, Xing Jiahua, had seen the usual Naoki Nagayama and already thought he was handsome. But today, with a suit on and sunglasses worn, a handsome man with an ascetic vibe came straight at her, leaving her speechless for a moment.

"Hua-chan?" Naoki Nagayama waved at this wide-eyed front desk girl, letting her come back to her senses.

"Ah, Dayou-san... already... already waiting!"

"Just heard Naoki-san's voice; a bit late today~" Just at this time, Fang Cun Dayou walked out of the office and saw Naoki Nagayama at the door. "Naoki-san... you... why are you dressed so handsomely today?"

"Aren't we going to sign a contract? It's a formal occasion, so I put on a suit."

Naoki Nagayama shrugged his shoulders. It was just a suit; aren't Japanese corporate slaves these days all wearing suits?

Fang Cun Dayou touched the suit on his body. This was a high-end suit he had customized for nearly 500,000 yen after he became rich. This gold-threaded tie was also specially made by a famous craftsman, worth 200,000 yen, and these leather shoes of his were customized from an old-fashioned handmade shoe store that had been passed down for half a century, worth 800,000 yen!

That is to say, he now had clothes worth 1.5 million yen all over his body! But no matter how he wore them, they looked like cheap goods bought from a store!

And Naoki Nagayama's suit, he had seen it many times already; he remembered it was from two years ago, right?

But he just changed an inner lining, how did he wear it with the feeling of a super big brand!

Damn it! Is the gap between people really this big?!

"Ahem, ahem, since you're here, let's go~" Fang Cun Dayou greeted Chuan Yuan Wuchun, who was also very surprised. "Wuchun-kun, let's go."

"Ah, hai!"

"Naoki-san, are you in the same car as us?"

Naoki Nagayama shook his head: "No, I have things to do in the afternoon, it's more convenient to drive myself."

Yan Yin's headquarters was in Roppongi, Minato Ward. Come to think of it, it was also a place where every inch of land was worth an inch of gold. Sure enough, it was an agency backed by a financial group!

Yan Yin's office building wasn't the kind of office building with dozens of floors, but a 7-story office building. Following the characteristics of the Showa era, large white ceramic tiles were used for the facade, and small square ceramic tiles covered the walls, revealing windows that weren't very large.

However, the entrance was a floor-to-ceiling glass door, and the lobby was also very spacious, with a front desk on duty.

Yan Yin's front desk, Mu Xia Ruihui, had been an old employee for five years. Another Monday, she finished sorting out the letters and miscellaneous tasks accumulated over the weekend with ease, and started the ordinary front desk work.

But today, it seemed there was something different...

Mu Xia Ruihui looked at today's precautions; it seemed a company was coming to visit.

Just as she was thinking, three people walked in from the main entrance. The one opening the door was a young manager, wearing a regular formal suit, but at a glance, one could tell he was just an ordinary worker.

Following behind him was an older man, who should be the boss of the company. Both his well-fitting high-end customized suit and the Mediterranean on his head explained this point.

However... what was going on with the one walking in behind?

A warm, slim-fitting light blue suit, but inside was an ascetic black shirt. On his sunny and handsome face, he wore a pair of sunglasses that hid his eyes. Overall, it was a sense of distance within affinity, making people want to get close, but subconsciously keep a distance.

Was it that star who came to visit today?

Even as a front desk for an entertainment agency, Mu Xia Ruihui rarely saw such a handsome guy!

"Konnichiwa, we are representatives of Shuyou Film, and we have an appointment with President Huajian of Yan Yin."

Chuan Yuan Wuchun stepped forward to report the purpose, but saw the front desk lady staring fixedly behind him, and had to sigh. Naoki-san's head-turning rate today was really too high; just from the garage to here, there were already several people.

"Ahem, ahem!" After coughing twice, he finally brought the distracted front desk back.

"Ah, sumimasen!" Mu Xia Ruihui only felt a burning sensation on her face. "Hai, Shuyou Film, there is already an appointment. Please follow me!"

Mu Xia Ruihui hurriedly led the way for the few. Naoki Nagayama was talking to Fang Cun Dayou about the subsequent filming at this time.

"In short... the venue in Otaru City, Hokkaido, still needs to be prepared. There are quite a few old buildings there, and it doesn't matter if we rent one."

"Mm, the library there is also easy to talk about." Fang Cun Dayou nodded. "But for the school, we still need to talk to the teachers there properly."

"Mm, but the problem shouldn't be big, it's just a classroom."

After walking out of the elevator, Mu Xia Ruihui led the few to a quite large conference room, and then hurried to notify the agency's president, and by the way, prepare tea and such.

After the outsider left, Fang Cun Dayou said to Naoki Nagayama: "Naoki-san, are you here to show off your handsomeness today?"

Naoki Nagayama, who was looking at the scenery outside the window, shook his head:

"Sigh, I didn't do it on purpose. Is it a mistake to be too handsome~"

Walking in the corridor, the female colleagues who were usually familiar were asking: "Ruihui-chan, who is that handsome guy who came?"

"That one, it's Naoki Nagayama from Shuyou Film!"

"Eh? That's the playboy Naoki?" The female colleague exclaimed. "He's much more handsome than on TV and in the newspapers!"

"Yeah, yeah, the impact when he just walked in... you can't feel it on TV!"

Mu Xia Ruihui said while walking to the office of President Huajian He, and knocked on the door:

"President, the group from Shuyou Film has already arrived! Currently in the guest room."

"Ah, I know." In Huajian He's office, there were already quite a few people at this time, including Zhongsen Mingcai, Ming Xing Mingxing Fangze, Shang Tian Zhenxi, and so on—all were teams specifically responsible for Mingcai in the agency.

"Has Naoki-san already come over?" Mingcai's eyes lit up, and she was about to stand up and head to the conference room.

Huajian He said: "Mingcai-chan, remember not to interrupt casually during the negotiation!"

"Hai hai~"

Huajian He took the lead and pushed open the door of the conference room. The two people sitting stood up immediately, but these two couldn't steal the limelight from the person by the window.

This was the first time Huajian He had met Naoki Nagayama face-to-face. The first thought in his heart was:

"I must sign this person!"

Only then did he react that this person wasn't just a simple artist...

"President Huajian, nice to meet you!"

Fang Cun Dayou and Huajian He adopted a more Western-style handshake to greet, and then shook hands with the others who gradually entered.

"Nice to meet you..."

Ming Xing Mingxing Fangze and Shang Tian Zhenxi on Mingcai's side were relatively familiar, so just a slight greeting was enough.

When Zhongsen Mingcai saw Naoki Nagayama, she shone. If it weren't for so many people, she would have wanted to hug him immediately!

"Naoki-san! So handsome today!"

"Mingcai is also cute~" Outside the black T-shirt, she wore a thin white vest and even wore the Arale glasses from before.

Then when Mingcai sat down, she sat next to Naoki Nagayama!

Ming Xing Mingxing Fangze on the side wanted to cover his face. Is there really no avoidance at all?

And although Huajian He was also a bit surprised, Zhongsen Mingcai was usually such a surprising personality, so he didn't think much of it.

"Department Head Fang Cun, Director Nagayama, regarding the invitation for this 'Love Letter' movie, we at Yan Yin are very honored." Huajian He naturally said some high-sounding words.

"Haha, we are also very happy to be able to invite an idol like Zhongsen Mingcai to participate!" Fang Cun Dayou didn't fall behind at all. "With the joining of Yan Yin, I believe this movie will definitely create brilliant results again."

"Then let's discuss some agreements for this filming, and then discuss the specific terms of the contract!" Huajian He said. After all, Zhongsen Mingcai on this side was always very busy, especially during this year-end period.

"Regarding the filming time, since Mingcai needs to participate in the rehearsals for various year-end programs, it may need to be notified in advance, and then we will arrange..."

"Hai, no need to worry about this aspect. Our Shuyou Film's filming method is different from other film companies; we won't require actors to be on set for the entire time period."

Fang Cun Dayou guaranteed: "We can also adjust the filming progress according to Miss Zhongsen Mingcai's time."

"??" Huajian He was speechless for a moment. He originally wanted to bargain... but the other side didn't mean to refute at all, and instead threw a bunch of preferential treatment back.

"Ahem, that's great." Huajian He continued,

"Next, since Mingcai-chan is our artist, her role, styling, performance clips, etc., in the movie can be used for movie promotion, but if other photos, images, and other content are needed, it needs to be re-signed..."

"Hai, there is absolutely no problem with this." Fang Cun Dayou replied directly.

"Uh..." Huajian He was speechless again. "Then next is the remuneration..."

Huajian He felt that this negotiation meeting seemed to be a fake one, because Shuyou Film agreed to all the requirements he put forward, and even did better.

Even for the tentative requirement of box office sharing, Fang Cun Dayou agreed after turning his head and whispering to Naoki Nagayama, although it was only 1%.

In the end, Huajian He really doubted: "Department Head Fang Cun, is there really no requirement for our side?"

Fang Cun Dayou paused: "Come to think of it, there is indeed an uninvited request."

"Please speak~"

"Our side hopes that before and during filming, your company will keep the filming and cooperation matters confidential." Fang Cun Dayou said a bit helplessly, because he didn't want Yin Tangxiu to find out, so it had to be filmed secretly. "Until filming is completed, the subsequent promotion also needs to cooperate with our rhythm and plan."

"This..." Although it was a bit strange, Huajian He didn't feel anything disadvantageous to his own side. "Naturally, no problem..."

As an agency in the entertainment industry, such contracts naturally all had templates. After the main terms were negotiated before, Fang Cun Dayou and Huajian He started communication on other terms, including breach of contract liability, payment methods, and so on.

Although these places were small, they indeed had the necessity of confirmation. The others also helped to review the contract terms. It was all fragmented work, leaving Naoki Nagayama and Zhongsen Mingcai a bit bored.

Naoki Nagayama was originally looking at the photocopy in his hand, when he suddenly felt a force on his suit. Looking down, a small hand with nowhere to place was tugging at the corner of his clothes...

Turning his head to look, Zhongsen Mingcai beside him was laughing at him mischievously~

Naoki Nagayama looked at the people around him, all focused on the documents, so one hand retracted under the table, and then suddenly grabbed that mischievous hand, and his little finger even scratched in the palm~

Mingcai was startled, her eyes looked around in panic, but she reacted immediately, lowered her head, and didn't speak, with a slight blush on her face.

Naoki Nagayama quietly leaned his head over: "Mingcai, where are we going to eat at noon?"

"Eh?"

"Is there anything delicious nearby?"

"Here..." Zhongsen Mingcai also whispered back, "Besides clubs, there are a few Western restaurants that are pretty good."

"Then let's go eat Western food at noon~"

Huajian He saw Naoki Nagayama whispering to his own idol. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, and their heads were very close. They looked so compatible that he couldn't help but feel a worry:

"Ahem, ahem, Director Nagayama, Mingcai-chan, what are you discussing? Is there any new problem?"

Naoki Nagayama hurriedly let go of Mingcai's hand and sat up straight: "Ah, I have no problem with the contract. Isn't it almost noon? I was just asking Mingcai if there were any good restaurants nearby."

Mingcai also nodded as if to cover up: "Yeah, in Minato Ward, only the Western food nearby is considered pretty good~"

Huajian He looked at the two speechlessly. Are you kidding? We are seriously discussing cooperation, and you want to go eat so early? Are you that hungry? Is it lunchtime yet?

Glancing at the clock, ah... it really is.

Fang Cun Dayou said with a smile: "President Huajian, actually the contract is almost done. After this version comes out, we will sign it directly. Hahaha, it is indeed noon, and I am a bit hungry too."

Huajian He nodded directly upon seeing this: "That's fine, then let's go eat first. I happen to know there is a good restaurant nearby. Please ask Department Head Fang Cun and Director Nagayama to come and have a casual meal together."

"Haha, if President Huajian is treating, then we can't miss it." Fang Cun Dayou was all smiles, acting like he was close with Huajian He, like old friends for many years.

Mingcai's group naturally couldn't be missed either.

In a high-end Western restaurant private room in Minato Ward, Huajian He and Fang Cun Dayou started to toast each other after arriving here, but it was strange today that the others couldn't drink.

Among them, Chuan Yuan Wuchun and Ming Xing Mingxing Fangze both held the heavy responsibility of being drivers, Zhongsen Mingcai was not yet an adult, and Naoki Nagayama also had to drive, leaving only Shang Tian Zhenxi, a girl, so that was it...

Naoki Nagayama cut the steak with a dining knife and asked Mingcai while eating:

"In the afternoon, is it the rehearsal for the year-end program, until the evening?"

"Mm." Zhongsen Mingcai tasted the cream soup with a spoon, and a delicious expression appeared on her face. "Seems like a promotional VCR, and then there's the performance communication for the Song Festival..."

"Sure enough, very busy." If one TV station has two programs, four TV stations mean eight programs, all at the end of the year.

"Come to think of it, for the Song Festival, I was also invited to be an award presenter."

Zhongsen Mingcai looked at her boyfriend curiously: "Naoki-san, doesn't that mean Naoki-san also has to rehearse?"

"Maybe only when there is a full rehearsal, presenting awards is actually very simple." Naoki Nagayama looked at Mingcai. "But you can also go see Mingcai's performance in advance."

"Hahaha, there will be many people coming to participate in the rehearsal at that time, it seems like everyone in the entertainment industry has come."

Zhongsen Mingcai introduced it to Naoki Nagayama like a veteran, although she only participated once last year, and won the Excellent Newcomer Award as a newcomer,

"Then what I saw were all seniors, and I had to bow and greet everyone..."

"Haha, Mingcai is also a senior this year." Naoki Nagayama said with a smile.

"Then what is Naoki-san going to do this afternoon?" Mingcai smiled, as if she felt it wasn't good, and immediately changed the subject.

Naoki Nagayama took a sip of juice, his mood a bit emotional:

"Me, I'm going to sign an unequal contract, and then ask for compensation from that side~" ===== CHAPTER 464 =====
