Chapter 531: They are all

After visiting his grandfather in Shimizu, Shizuoka, and staying for another night, Naoki Nagayama continued to communicate with his uncle Yongshan Kumahara about KTV-related matters the next day, and then he set foot on the road back to Tokyo.

When he returned to Shanyingyuan, Akina's breath seemed to remain in the living room, but she should be busy at this time.

There was a Shimenawa hanging at the door, a Kadomatsu at the entrance, and a mirror mochi that looked like a gourd on the table beside the living room...

Putting the Osechi cuisine packed by his mother in the kitchen, on the last day of the New Year, only he and a cat and a dog were watching TV~

"This New Year... passed a bit sloppily~" Naoki Nagayama sighed a little, "Whose fault is this?"

While watching TV, he flipped through the greeting cards sent by friends. Naoki Nagayama calculated whether he needed to visit, or when he could just call.

Just at this moment, the phone beside the living room suddenly rang, and the "ding-a-ling" sound made Naoki Nagayama stunned.

"Speaking of which, since 'Ring' was released, I seem to have received very few calls~"

It seems that this movie has indeed brought some different atmosphere to the people of Tokyo. At least if there is nothing important... at night, not many people who don't have eyes will call others.

"Moshi moshi, this is Shanyingyuan." Naoki Nagayama picked up the receiver.

"Ah, Naoki-san, you are here~" Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou's voice came from the receiver, "Happy New Year~"

"Happy New Year..." He replied a bit funny, Naoki Nagayama asked, "Fangcun Dayou-san didn't go back to his hometown for the New Year?"

"Of course not." Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou's tone was firm, "How can people in the entertainment industry have the saying of New Year!"

TV programs are still playing, congratulatory New Year plans have been launched, new albums are ready to go, and non-stop hotspots and scandals, the entire entertainment industry is like a racing car with full strength, without brakes on the track of entertainment to death.

"Hahaha, it sounds like the one who went home for the New Year last year wasn't Fangcun Dayou-san~"

Naoki Nagayama's words made Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou break his defense immediately: "Naoki-san... okay okay, I'm looking for you for business!"

"? Isn't these three days a holiday?"

"There are many things! New Year's party, visiting other companies, movie promotion..." Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou said, "Chikako-chan's first official album is about to be released, on the 5th."

"Hmm hmm.... So what, what does it have to do with me?" Naoki Nagayama said words like a scumbag.

"Naoki-san... Good or bad, you brought her into the entertainment industry~ This album also has your songs!" Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou couldn't believe it, "You actually say it has nothing to do with you now!"

"... Fangcun Dayou-san, you make it sound like I'm abandoning the old and seeking the new." Naoki Nagayama curled his lips, "I mean, aren't these all decided things? The promotion plan has already been set, and now you are looking for me?"

Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou smiled: "Isn't it because Naoki-san is the center of the topic now... naturally we want to make good use of it."

"... Fangcun Dayou-san, are you... going to sell me?"

"How can it be called selling!" Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou said seriously again, "We are going to use (squeeze) every bit of Naoki-san's value!"

"..." Naoki Nagayama was silent for a while, thinking that he didn't seem to have anything big to do these few days, "So... Fangcun Dayou-san, what are you going to do?"

"That will wait until tomorrow to discuss in the office, it's not clear on the phone..." Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou said.

"Tomorrow, office? Isn't it still on vacation?"

Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou said: "Yes, but didn't I say it, there is no holiday in the entertainment industry! By the way, come with us to visit partners!"

"... Still have to visit other companies?"

Naoki Nagayama, who hung up the phone, found that his leisurely days seemed to be moving away step by step. He touched the dog's head beside him:

"Eitaro, why do I feel that the relaxed life I originally wanted is moving away step by step..."

When Naoki Nagayama got up the next morning, the sky outside was gray, as if it was brewing rain/snow.

"The beginning of the New Year is such weather, it feels very bad. Do you say we shouldn't go out today?"

While washing and talking to Eitaro,

Naoki Nagayama's heart gradually rose with the idea of letting go of pigeons, but after thinking about the consequences, he still obediently drove out.

The streets and alleys of Tokyo were still full of New Year's atmosphere. Colorful decorations were decorated in front of every household. Even neighbors who were usually indifferent would say Happy New Year to others now.

However, the usual bustling crowd did not appear on the road for the time being. After all, it was still the New Year holiday.

"Naoki-san, morning!" Star Jiahua still welcomed Naoki Nagayama's arrival very enthusiastically.

"Hua-chan, morning~" Naoki Nagayama replied subconsciously, and then was a bit surprised, "Hua-chan, didn't you go back for the New Year?"

"Ah... my hometown is too far, so I didn't go back~" Star Jiahua said, "I heard before that the company still needs to be on duty at the beginning of the year, so I signed up~"

"This... even if you don't go back for the New Year, you can take a holiday with your boyfriend to watch a movie or go shopping~" Naoki Nagayama felt a bit guilty. Such a young girl, Fangcun Dayou-san actually wants to squeeze her?! "I have some internal tickets for 'Love Letter' here, you can go take a look!"

Star Jiahua's face stagnated: "Naoki-san... I don't have a boyfriend yet~"

"This..." Naoki Nagayama was silent, patted the girl's shoulder, "Ganbatte~"

In the studio, most of the shooting team members were on vacation, but the marketing line people all came to work.

There are many things the company needs to do at the beginning of the year, and they also need to start preparing to visit companies that have had dealings one by one... This is even more important than visits between relatives.

In the office, Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou was explaining something to Hayano Riko. After seeing Naoki Nagayama, he greeted:

"Naoki-san, you are here!"

Naoki Nagayama sat in his seat casually: "Yes, I didn't want to come~ What are you talking about?"

"The company to visit first this year." Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou said, "Considering the importance of company restructuring this year, we will visit the Kadokawa Group first today."

"Kadokawa?" Naoki Nagayama was interested, "Will Haruki-san be in the company today?"

"Of course, as the president, the company visit for the New Year is very important!" Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou said, "We have already made an appointment in advance, Haruki-san will definitely be there today."

"Tsk tsk tsk, Haruki-san actually doesn't take New Year's holidays either~"

"For him, if he wants to take a holiday, every day is a holiday, what's the difference!" Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou glanced at Naoki Nagayama, "Isn't Naoki-san about the same?"

"Fangcun Dayou-san, you are slandering me!" Naoki Nagayama laughed, "Haha, Riko-chan, you see, Fangcun Dayou-san is slandering me!"

"I didn't see anything~" Hayano Riko smiled and exited the office.

After people walked out, Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou continued: "Naoki-san, this visit is actually specially scheduled in advance. We still have to talk to Haruki-san about the company restructuring."

"Hmm, I understand." It was precisely because of this reason that Naoki Nagayama was specially called over.

Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou understood Naoki Nagayama's personality, so he didn't ask him to come for the company's New Year party and visits in the past two years. More importantly, he went on vacation for the New Year in the past two years~

"By the way, you said last night that you wanted to help promote Chikako-chan's first album?"

Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou nodded: "Yes, because of 'Love Letter', Naoki-san's popularity has been very high recently."

"It's been a year..."

"More people are watching!" Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou said, "Naoki-san didn't read the newspaper? Recently, you have another nickname!"

"?"

"Girl Killer!"

"!

!" Naoki Nagayama opened his eyes wide.

"It is said that many female students who have watched 'Love Letter' are intoxicated by Naoki-san's image. The poster of Fujii Itsuki reading by the window has been frantically snapped up by fans." Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou said endlessly, "Ah, by the way, magazine publishers also called to cooperate, and each magazine comes with a poster... They pay!"

"Then how did Fangcun Dayou-san reply?"

"Of course I agreed!" Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou showed a strange look, "Why don't you want money delivered for free?"

"..." Sigh, I just hope that people who get the magazine don't use the attached poster for anything strange!

"Then, how does Fangcun Dayou-san want me to help Chikako-chan's album?" Naoki Nagayama returned to the topic.

"At the most basic level, promote this album during interviews." Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou said, "Also, we want to use Naoki-san and Chikako-chan as a gimmick to hold meetings and promotion meetings..."

Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou said endlessly,

"Finally, I thought of it... The promotion of Junko-chan and Yuki-chan can also use similar methods. Their debut songs were all created by Naoki-san. In the future, the idols under our banner might all be able to be bound with Naoki-san. They are all 'Naoki Girls', 'Naoki Cinderellas', or 'Tree Girls'!"

The more he talked, the more excited he became, as if he wanted to deeply bind Chikako Aoyama and other idols with himself.

Naoki Nagayama listened with black lines on his face: "Fangcun Dayou-san, are you trying to forcibly ruin my reputation?"

"How is it possible!" Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou said, "In the future, idols in the entertainment industry might be proud of becoming 'Tree Girls'!"

"..."

Naoki Nagayama recalled the Bond Girls, Mou Girls, Xing Girls, Qiong Girls of later generations... He had to admit that Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou's words made some sense.

Only Naoki Nagayama and Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou went to visit Kadokawa, but the one who received them was Minister Morikawa Gong, and the specifications were very in place.

"Haruki-san, Happy New Year!"

Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou and Naoki Nagayama greeted Kadokawa Haruki for the New Year and handed the gift to Morikawa Gong beside him.

"Ah, Naoki-san, Fangcun Dayou-san, Happy New Year!"

Kadokawa Haruki was full of red light, and it looked like this New Year was spent very well.

After exchanging greetings, they slowly began to enter the topic:

"At the end of this year, Naoki-san really stirred up the entertainment industry. When eating, many people talked about you!"

The people Kadokawa Haruki ate with were naturally the big shots of the upper class.

"Oh?" Naoki Nagayama took the hot tea handed by Morikawa Gong, "What did they say about me?"

"Genius!" Kadokawa Haruki smiled, "Midas touch, magician... In short, there are many people who praise you. Everyone is full of praise for the creativity in Naoki-san's brain."

Hearing such words that had been beautified for I don't know how many times, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help laughing: "Haha, praising me for having some small cleverness is about the same~"

"Hahaha~" Kadokawa Haruki laughed loudly, "Naoki-san is really accurate... There are indeed people who praise you for having small cleverness!"

"Then there should also be bad ones, right?"

"Of course, clowns, grandstanding, grasshoppers after autumn... there are really quite a few!" Kadokawa Haruki looked directly into Naoki Nagayama's eyes, as if to see how he responded to these belittles.

"Really accurate~" Naoki Nagayama's mouth curled slightly, his mentality was not hit at all, "These big shots, their view of the entertainment industry will always be disdainful!"

"Haha, that's true." Kadokawa Haruki nodded in agreement.

If it weren't for his own Kadokawa Bookstore having some connection with the literary circle, those upper-class people, political clans, nobility, and old money might not have looked at him highly.

"The entertainment industry comes with fast money, easy money... they all say so."

Naoki Nagayama actually agreed, but this kind of fast money is something everyone wants to get a piece of.

"Forget it, talking about them is too disappointing~" Kadokawa Haruki seemed to feel that talking about these was boring, and changed the topic, "Naoki-san, Fangcun Dayou-san, you said before the year that the company would be restructured, has it been confirmed?"

Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou had been drinking tea, and only then spoke: "Yes, Haruki-san, we have confirmed it."

"So, the equity occupied by Kadokawa is indeed going to be re-divided?" Kadokawa Haruki's face was still peaceful, but because of the gap in status, it still brought pressure to Naoki Nagayama and Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou.

Naoki Nagayama took the conversation: "Haruki-san, in the early days of Tree Friend Film, Kadokawa gave support in terms of distribution and support for resources and connections. We all keep it in mind."

"Then you still want to dilute Kadokawa's equity?" Kadokawa Haruki looked like he was about to get angry.

"The company needs to develop. The next Tree Friend Group will involve many different fields and will also introduce different shareholders. Equity naturally needs to be adjusted." Naoki Nagayama was not scared, "The same shares, the dividends received will not be less, but will increase!"

"But our proportion will be less! The right to speak will be low." Kadokawa Haruki's face was gloomy and seemed to be about to get angry.

"Then, Haruki-san can increase holdings." Naoki Nagayama continued, "I should have mentioned it to you before, you can inject funds, or use other methods..."

Looking at Naoki Nagayama's very calm appearance, Kadokawa Haruki didn't continue to maintain an aggressive attitude, and showed a smile again, showing the changeability of a businessman:

"Naoki-san is really confident!"

"That's because I have confidence in the future development!" Naoki Nagayama smiled, "Haruki-san, believe me, the future Tree Friend Group will reach a higher level."

"Haha, of course I believe it. So I plan to use Kadokawa Film's shares to exchange." Before the year, Kadokawa Haruki had learned about the restructuring of Tree Friend Film and knew that it would involve various businesses.

"Naoki-san, which new shareholders have you found?"

"One side is the main family, my grandfather..." Naoki Nagayama deliberated and blurred, "And the bank side..."

"Naoki-san's main family..." Kadokawa Haruki recalled, only then did he remember that this guy in front of him seemed to be a descendant of the Yamaguchi-gumi.

However, looking at Naoki Nagayama, who had no underworld temperament at all, Kadokawa Haruki still reminded: "Naoki-san... if you get too involved with the underworld..."

"Relax, Haruki-san." Naoki Nagayama smiled, "This is just a small business between me and my cousin, it's a legitimate business."

"Best be so~"

Kadokawa Haruki didn't say much. In this era, the underworld is powerful, and any industry can be related to it. His own Kadokawa Film also has connections with the Matsuba-kai and the like.

The boss talked about the direction, and the specific negotiations were naturally done by the subordinates.

Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou took out the preliminary plan and chatted with Morikawa Gong, while Naoki Nagayama chatted with Kadokawa Haruki about the movie selection in February.

"How many awards does Naoki-san want to win this time?"

"This is not something I can decide." Naoki Nagayama smiled, "It still depends on the choice of the selection committee."

"Hahaha, Naoki-san is really good at joking!" Kadokawa Haruki laughed, and then continued to ask, "Seriously, how many awards are you preparing to win?"

It seems that he can decide both the Blue Ribbon Awards and the Film Academy Awards.

"..." Naoki Nagayama pondered for a while, "I want them all!"

Kadokawa Haruki's face condensed. This Naoki Nagayama, is he a bit too arrogant~
