Chapter 538: Drag the Sasakawa Foundation into the water~

Tokyo Bubble Life Main Text Volume 555, drag the Sasakawa Foundation into the water~ Eitaro didn't know what his master was staring at the suitcase on the table for. It was just a pile of shredded paper.

If the master likes it, I, Eitaro, can tear the newspaper into hundreds of pieces in minutes and give it to the master as a gift!

If he keeps staring like this, the time for today's walk will be missed again!

Thinking of this, Eitaro ran to the entrance, picked up his dog leash, put it at Naoki Nagayama's feet, and then squeezed his master's thigh with his head, indicating urgency.

And Naoki Nagayama, at this time, was a little troubled looking at the suitcase full of money on the low table in the living room.

He had received it from Brother Kaede yesterday and kept it in the trunk of the car. Then he took his cousin to see the disco manager, and in the afternoon he was busy communicating about buying shops and continuing to code words. He actually forgot about this box, and only remembered it after waking up this morning.

Patting Eitaro's head to let him calm down, Naoki Nagayama looked at the box full of money. The wise eyes of Prince Shotoku seemed to be telling him what to do.

"In short, let's put it into the public account first. Such a large sum of money, if it's always placed in Shanyingyuan, it might attract some trouble~"

Closing the suitcase, Naoki Nagayama decided to go to the company first.

Scratching Eitaro next to him: "Eitaro, your master has important things to do now. Today's walk will be changed to the evening!"

Hearing this, the big dog was visibly disappointed, looking at his master with innocent eyes, which made Naoki Nagayama feel guilty.

"Alright, I'll take you to the dog park this time, okay? Maybe you can meet your little girlfriend again~"

The dog park was quite far from Shanyingyuan, and Eitaro's Shiba Inu girlfriend's family didn't approve of a Labrador as a spouse, so Naoki Nagayama usually wouldn't take the dog there.

Naoki Nagayama didn't want to be a parent who broke up a couple, but the Shiba Inu's parents had always wanted to find a purebred Shiba Inu to match, and they were very disgusted when they saw his dog, and would actively pull them away.

Just this plot, if it were changed to humans, it could already write a script containing elements like "rich lady likes wild boy", "parents break up the couple", "young couple is infatuated", "break through secular obstacles", "hope to get happiness", etc. ~

However, Eitaro seemed to understand the meaning of the dog park and little girlfriend. His tail wagged wildly, and his face showed a smile, fully embodying the nature of a lick-dog. Naoki Nagayama could only sigh~

Hey. Seeing it is just adding sadness, why bother~

Driving the Toyota Century to the studio, the front desk girl, Star Xing Jiahua, was very surprised:

"Naoki-san, you came so early today~"

"Ah, there's something~" Naoki Nagayama gestured to the suitcase in his hand. "Are Kitamura Guanglian-san and Taoxi-san in the finance room?"

"Hai, they have already arrived~"

Hearing this, Naoki Nagayama didn't go directly to the office but walked toward the finance room. Along the way, the employees cast curious glances at the suitcase in his hand~

"Kitamura Guanglian-san, Taoxi-san." Naoki Nagayama knocked on the door of the finance room and saw the two young ladies checking the accounts.

"Naoki-san?!" Beicun Kitamura Guanglian was also very surprised after seeing Naoki Nagayama.

Placing the suitcase in his hand on the empty desk, Naoki Nagayama smiled: "I brought a sum of money, please trouble Kitamura Guanglian-san and Taoxi-san to enter it into the account."

"Enter into the account?" Jiaotian Taoxi thought it was Naoki Nagayama's private account and nodded repeatedly. "Hai, I understand."

But Beicun Kitamura Guanglian on the other side saw the open suitcase and couldn't help covering her mouth: "So much?"

"Hmm, Kitamura Guanglian-san, please count it. There should be 500 million." Naoki Nagayama said. "It's an investment from a future partner of the company."

"Why not go through the public account?" Jiaotian Taoxi asked subconsciously, and then thought of something, whispering, "Naoki-san, is this inconvenient to enter into the account?"

"Ah, it's a protection fee collected by a club." Naoki Nagayama didn't hide it from the finance department. "So Kitamura Guanglian-san needs to digest it slowly according to ordinary revenue~"

Beicun Kitamura Guanglian and Jiaotian Taoxi were both shocked. Did Naoki Nagayama just say it like that? This is illegal! Do the two of us little girls know this, are we going to be silenced later?!

Looking at the terrified appearance of his own finance department, Naoki Nagayama smiled: "Rest assured, rest assured. The protection fee is already a hidden rule, and the source does not involve crime, so it will not be investigated. You just treat it as income from a certain business and enter it into the account."

The two finance staff members had been following Naoki Nagayama since the establishment of Tree Friend Film. Under Japan's lifetime employment system, they were basically on the same boat as Naoki Nagayama, so the trust was very high.

Plus, Tree Friend Film now has so many income channels and overseas accounts, so it can definitely digest this money by doing the accounts a little bit.

Jiaotian Taoxi hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Hai, we understand."

"Hmm, then I'll trouble you~" Naoki Nagayama left the suitcase in the finance room and went out alone.

Jiaotian Taoxi and Beicun Kitamura Guanglian, who stayed in the finance room, looked at each other. I don't know why they felt at ease. Sure enough, after participating in the boss's black material, they could be considered confidants~

"Taoxi-chan" Beicun Kitamura Guanglian looked at the suitcase again, "It's really a lot of money."

"Yes. Although the box office income is in the tens of billions, those are just numbers." Jiaotian Taoxi was also moved looking at the box full of money. It really felt like an illegal transaction on TV, using a suitcase to hold money.

"Let me count it first!" Beicun Kitamura Guanglian's tone carried a bit of excitement. "I haven't touched so much money yet! If it were all mine, how good would it be!"

"Kitamura Guanglian-chan, didn't you hear Naoki-san? This is a protection fee!" Jiaotian Taoxi patted her friend. "Think about what kind of organization can collect so much!"

"."

Naoki Nagayama naturally didn't know the chat between the two in the finance room. He had already walked into the office.

"Naoki-san?" Tomo Yoshimura was also very surprised that he would come so early. "Aren't you coding words at home? Why did you come here?"

"Because something happened yesterday, and there are some things to communicate." Naoki Nagayama turned his head. "Is Ito Shuichi-san not here?"

"He went to visit senior people in the film industry." Tomo Yoshimura said directly. "Isn't it because he wants to compete for the Blue Ribbon and Film Academy Awards~"

Naoki Nagayama had forgotten this point after burying his head in coding words for the past two days.

"So that's it. Speaking of which, I also have to contact my friends~" Naoki Nagayama thought about meeting his old friends Masaki Kobayashi and Masahiro Shinoda.

"Speaking of which, since Naoki-san is here, let's meet President Hanami of Ken-On this afternoon~" Tomo Yoshimura said. "He has been in the office these two days. Originally, Ito Shuichi-san and I were going to visit him to discuss supporting Ms. Akina Nakamori to impact the Best Newcomer Award."

Originally, this communication was not too important. Tomo Yoshimura didn't intend to let Naoki Nagayama, who was in seclusion, come to the meeting, but since he delivered himself to the door now

"Ha, no problem."

Naoki Nagayama nodded readily and then talked about the previous business.

"Tomo-san, regarding the ktv we mentioned before the New Year, the investment from my family arrived yesterday. This matter might need to be started in advance~"

Naoki Nagayama talked about the discussion with his cousin yesterday and communicated with Tomo Yoshimura about some adjustments to the company's restructuring, such as whether the investment company should be merged into the Tree Friend Group, or whether it should be held on behalf of others, etc.

Such adjustments to the company's structure can naturally be adjusted according to the actual situation at any time. Before it is officially made public, it is uncertain.

Tomo Yoshimura listened carefully to Naoki Nagayama's opinions and put forward his own views from time to time:

"The shares of Kadokawa Film should just be exchanged for the shares of Tree Friend Film. However, the scale of Tree Friend Film naturally needs to expand, and additional investment is needed."

"Before the New Year, wasn't there a plan to build a film and television base? It can also be planned into this part of the business."

In fact, although Naoki Nagayama and Tomo Yoshimura have certain management experience, they are all looking for directions in bumps and bruises for this kind of upper-level structural adjustment. After this discussion, they definitely need to communicate with other experienced people~

The two exchanged opinions in the office, and accidentally chatted for nearly two hours.

It was noon, and Naoki Nagayama had a work bento with the employees in the studio~

In the afternoon, Ito Shuichi Ido walked into the office with a slight smell of alcohol. He was also very surprised when he saw Naoki Nagayama:

"Naoki-san?!"

"Ito Shuichi-san, did you drink alcohol in broad daylight?" Naoki Nagayama smiled.

Ito Shuichi Ido sat down next to the desk and poured himself a cup of hot tea: "It's hard to avoid drinking a little when eating with them, but it's not much."

Naoki Nagayama was very curious: "How is it? Is there any chance to impact the Blue Ribbon and Film Academy Awards this time?"

Ito Shuichi Ido didn't rush to drink tea: "From their tone, they are very appreciative of the movie 'Love Letter'. However, there are still movies like 'Antarctica', 'Amagi Goe', 'The Makioka Sisters', etc. The possibility of 'Love Letter' winning the award is still a bit small."

After saying so much, Ito Shuichi Ido suddenly lowered his voice: "More importantly, there is one movie we need to pay attention to!"

"'The Ballad of Narayama', this movie has already won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival last year!"

Naoki Nagayama patted his forehead: "So it is, I almost forgot that it was also released last year."

Looking at it this way, there are quite a few excellent movies this year!

Naoki Nagayama scratched his head: "No matter what, let's get the nomination for 'Love Letter' first!"

"Go talk to President Hanami this afternoon. With the support of the consortium, plus the energy of Kadokawa, Best Movie. Actually, it's not impossible to try."

After chatting about the film award selection, Naoki Nagayama and Tomo Yoshimura also vented the previous discussion about the company's structural adjustment to Ito Shuichi Ido. Who knew he just spread his hands:

"Forget it, I'm not interested in talking so much. In short, I am a director, so I will just focus on the film business~"

Naoki Nagayama and Tomo Yoshimura looked at each other and didn't know what to say~

After the tea was almost finished and Ito Shuichi Ido's alcohol had dissipated, the three of them got into the car to Ken-On together.

The afternoon time always makes people feel sleepy.

There were always many people coming in and out of the glass door in front of the Ken-On headquarters. Mizue Kinoshita, who was at the front desk, was already used to it.

When she saw a familiar handsome face, Mizue Kinoshita immediately became energetic:

"That is. Naoki Nagayama!"

With the hot screening of "Love Letter", Akina Nakamori and Naoki Nagayama, this pair of screen lovers, have truly walked into the hearts of the audience. So far, no newspaper has paired male idols like Masahiko Kondo and Toshiko Tanaka with Akina Nakamori. Instead, passersby have started to ship the two in "Love Letter".

Of course, their respective fans are a bit strange. Akina's hardcore fans don't like their idol being with the playboy Naoki, thinking that the idol was deceived by a scumbag;

And Naoki Nagayama's fans are the only remaining support group, but they think that an idol like Akina Nakamori is completely unworthy of Naoki Nagayama!

However, Mizue Kinoshita is both a fan of her own artist and obsessed with Naoki Nagayama's appearance. When she saw Naoki Nagayama coming in from the door, her eyes were shining.

"Welcome to Ken-On! Do you have an appointment?" Mizue Kinoshita said in her sweetest voice.

"Hmm, we have an appointment with President Hanami~"

Tomo Yoshimura answered the front desk's question, but he was a bit strange. Obviously, he was the one talking, but the little girl at the front desk drifted her eyes to the side. Looking back, he met Naoki Nagayama's confused eyes.

"Che, sure enough, little girls like handsome guys~"

Silently complaining, Yoshimura Otomo touched his forehead with some sadness. Once upon a time, he was also a dashing young man who captivated thousands of girls!

Just feeling sorry for himself, the middle-aged uncle suddenly heard Ito Shuichi Ido's voice:

"Tomo-san, why are you in a daze, keep up!"

Turning around, the little girl at the front desk had already led Naoki Nagayama and Ito Shuichi Ido to the elevator.

After waiting in the conference room for a while, President Hanami rushed in.

"Naoki-san, Tomo-san, and Ito Shuichi-san, sorry to keep you waiting~" Hanami greeted enthusiastically.

"President Hanami, don't be so polite." Tomo Yoshimura greeted skillfully, and soon the atmosphere in the conference room became very harmonious.

"I remember the last time I came to this conference room, it was to discuss the distribution of 'Snow Flower'." Hanami said, "Haha, 'Snow Flower' has been very popular recently."

Naoki Nagayama interjected: "Akina should be performing on 'The Best Ten' tonight, right?"

"Naoki-san knows too?" Hanami nodded and confirmed, "Yes, there is already a notice. Akina-chan will go there after finishing her activities in the afternoon, and she will have to broadcast live in the evening."

"That can't be missed."

"Yes, thanks to the promotion of 'Love Letter', Akina-chan's start to the New Year is simply unstoppable!" Hanami's face was full of smiles.

Ito Shuichi Ido took the opportunity to say: "President Hanami, for idols, it is an inevitable trend to develop in three areas after reaching the peak in their own industry. Ms. Akina Nakamori has already reached the top of the pyramid in the idol industry, and her singing career is constantly rising. At present, does your company still plan to continue in the film industry?"

Hanami said seriously: "That is of course! 'Love Letter' let us see Akina-chan's potential in acting. We believe that if there is a better opportunity, Akina-chan is fully capable of reaching the level of Momoe Yamaguchi!"

Ito Shuichi Ido looked at Naoki Nagayama and Tomo Yoshimura and continued: "In that case, Ken-On shouldn't miss this film award selection!"

Hanami was slightly confused, but after thinking about it, he probably understood, "'Love Letter' wants to impact the Film Academy Award and the Film Blue Ribbon Award?"

"Yes." Naoki Nagayama affirmed, "Both awards must be tried, and we believe that Akina-chan has the potential to win the Best Newcomer Award."

So that's it. No wonder they were in such a hurry to meet him.

"Naoki-san's meaning is that you want Ken-On to help with the selection of 'Love Letter'?" Hanami shook his head, "However, Ken-On is just a small agency. We only have some connections in the music industry..."

Tomo Yoshimura laughed: "President Hanami. Who doesn't know that Ken-On is backed by the Sasakawa Foundation? We have heard of Toshio Nozaki's reputation."

"Haha, so Tomo-san is eyeing Chairman Nozaki." Hanami laughed, "However, Chairman Nozaki probably won't use his connections to help Tree Friend Film."

Toshio Nozaki is a shrewd businessman with high means. He won't do things that contribute to others.

Ito Shuichi Ido immediately interjected: "It's not Tree Friend Film, but Akina Nakamori. President Hanami, you only need to help Akina Nakamori win the Best Newcomer Award!"

". Eh. Akina only needs the Best Newcomer Award?"

"The Best Newcomer Award is a very important step for Akina-chan's development in the film industry." Naoki Nagayama said, "You only need to do your best to let Akina-chan win the award.

As for other awards for 'Love Letter', our Tree Friend Film will naturally strive for them ourselves."

Tomo Yoshimura took the opportunity to say: "Of course, if at this time, it can make the outside world feel that the Sasakawa Foundation and us are standing on the same front, it is also an advantage."

Hanami looked at the three people on the opposite side cooperating with each other to persuade him. Although he was still weighing it in his heart, he was gradually persuaded.

"It sounds like there is some truth to it."

However, Naoki Nagayama's next sentence made his heart determined:

"If Akina-chan can win the Best Newcomer Award, then there will be no shortage of film projects in the future. Shochiku, Toho, and Toei will all extend olive branches, and those famous directors will also look at her highly."

In this way, Akina Nakamori might take more movies, increase more exposure, more fame, a larger fan base... more shares, more advertisements.

Ken-On's revenue will definitely go to the next level!

Seemingly hearing the sound of the money tree, Hanami felt that he had already accepted their idea.

However, thinking of Chairman Nozaki behind him, he still said cautiously:

"Regarding the matter of impacting the Best Newcomer Award, I need to discuss it carefully with Chairman Nozaki."

The three of Naoki Nagayama looked at each other, knowing that the possibility of dragging the Sasakawa Foundation into the water had increased to 80%!

"That is of course, this is a major issue for Akina-chan and Ken-On!"

In the subsequent time, the three from Tree Friend and the president of Ken-On chatted about other aspects, such as cooperation in lyrics and composition, and even whether newcomers from Ken-On could participate in future film shooting, etc.

Just at this moment, in the parking space of the Geion building, a Mercedes-Benz car slowly stopped, and Akina Nakamori got out of the back seat with her little assistant, Ueda Maki.

After parking the car, Mingxing Mingxing Fangze also walked over: "Akina-chan, hurry up and deal with the stage costume. We have to go to tbs TV station immediately after that. We still need to rehearse."

"Hai!"

Akina Nakamori said energetically. After finishing the activities in the afternoon, she looked at the stage costume originally intended for the evening performance and suddenly had a new idea, so she cheekily asked Mingxing Mingxing Fangze to bring her back.

Her current stage costumes are almost all made at Ken-On. Many clothes and materials have even occupied two offices.

"Ruihui-chan, I'm back again!" When walking into the hall, Akina Nakamori greeted the front desk happily.

Mizue Kinoshita was very surprised: "Akina-chan is here too~"

"Also?" Akina was puzzled. "Who else is here?"

"Aren't you together?" Mizue Kinoshita explained, "It's the other lead actor of 'Love Letter', Mr. Naoki Nagayama, who also came in the afternoon. I thought Akina-chan came back because of 'Love Letter'."

"Naoki-san?!!!" Akina Nakamori's eyes widened immediately. "Did Naoki-san come too? When did he come? Is he still upstairs?"

Being unable to answer the continuous questions of her own artist, Mizue Kinoshita could only synthesize and answer: "He is still meeting with President Hanami in the conference room!"

"Is that so?" Akina was very happy and turned to walk toward the conference room.

However, Mingxing Mingxing Fangze walked to the side in time: "Akina-chan, Naoki-san and President Hanami should be discussing important issues. Since you weren't notified, it would be very rude to rush in and disturb them!"

"This" The manager's words calmed Akina down.

Mingxing Mingxing Fangze played an important role as a manager at this time: "Akina-chan, why don't you go and change the stage costume first? When the meeting upstairs ends, I will tell Naoki-san that you are in the costume room.

There are not so many idle people there."

Akina Nakamori heard this suggestion and smiled: "Arigato, Mingxing Fangze-san!"

After finishing, she took Ueda Maki and headed towards the dressing room.

Mingxing Mingxing Fangze sighed and walked toward the conference room. He had to wait for Naoki Nagayama to come out and take him to meet his own idol.

Hey, as a manager of a teenage idol, sometimes you need to do some things like this.

In the past, he had experienced sending artists to nightclubs or clubs to play, creating opportunities for artists to date their love interests, preventing them from being photographed by paparazzi, and sometimes sending idols to their partner's house to spend the night.

Now, the teenage idol he serves is about to start again~ ===== CHAPTER 539 =====
