Chapter 570: Do you know how I

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed since the Japan Film Academy Awards ceremony.

The headline about Naoki Nagayama's *Love Letter* winning Best Film had been removed from the newspapers, but the viewership rating that day had even reached 50%!

Even in the entertainment industry, where hot topics are constant, the other heat surrounding Naoki Nagayama continued to spread...

On this point, he had already felt it personally now...

"Naoki-san, please, you must accept this interview for the *New Words and Buzzwords Awards*!" Fuji TV reporter Naotaro Zhongxi chased Naoki Nagayama directly into the Tree Friend Group studio and pleaded with him.

Naoki Nagayama's face darkened: "I already said... I don't want to. What does it have to do with me if it's a buzzword!"

"Naoki-san, you almost created half of the new words and buzzwords this February by yourself!"

Naotaro Zhongxi grabbed the sleeve of Naoki Nagayama, who wanted to leave the office, and refused to let go.

"'Next... is commercial time' has been played crazy on variety shows on major TV stations!

All hosts and guests say this sentence when going to commercials! Even news programs say it like this when inserting commercials!"

Naoki Nagayama shook his arm vigorously, but he didn't shake him off. He said unhappily: "Then you should interview those hosts!... Besides, this sentence clearly appeared a long time ago!"

Naotaro Zhongxi signaled Kongming Sakata and Guangming Xiaoyuan at the door to help stop Naoki Nagayama, but how dare these two guys... The guy in front of them is their real boss!

So he could only pinch his sleeve with two fingers, showing his last stubbornness: "Naoki-san, there's more! There's more!"

"That sentence 'In my BGM, no one can defeat me' has also become popular in Tokyo!

These past two days, when I was doing outdoor interviews, I could hear children playing Eagle Catches Chicken, singing while rushing to the child playing the eagle, saying 'In my BGM, don't think about catching me'!"

"..."

Naoki Nagayama thought it was very likely because he recalled too many things before. That night at the award ceremony, his brain was definitely not clear, otherwise, how could he say such chuunibyou words in public!

Now that it was said by this Naotaro Zhongxi, his social anxiety was about to flare up!

"Then you go interview the children! Why are you looking for me!" He continued to shake his arm, but Naotaro Zhongxi gripped it very tightly, and he still couldn't shake him off.

"Because the source is Naoki-san!" Naotaro Zhongxi exerted the characteristic of a reporter's thick skin, but said earnestly, "Naoki-san, the first issue of the *New Words and Buzzwords Awards* is very important, and it even directly determines the future of this program. If Naoki-san joins, it will definitely cause a sensation!"

"Even if I don't participate, this program will have good ratings! Can't I know this? I am the planner of the program! Let go!"

"Please, Naoki-san, you must participate no matter what!" Naotaro Zhongxi even used his other hand to grab the desk to fix himself, "If Naoki-san doesn't agree, I won't let go!"

"..."

Yin Tangxiu and Kuniharu Morikawa in the office were sitting on chairs, watching the show leisurely. If there were melon seeds, they would definitely have started cracking them on the spot!

Yin Tangxiu was still saying cool words: "Naoki-san... for the effect of the program, just sacrifice yourself~"

"Xiu-san!" Naoki Nagayama said with tears in his eyes, "Since that day, do you know how I've spent these past few days?!

If the heat rises again, then I will never have peace!"

In fact, Naoki Nagayama regretted his madness that day immensely. Since blurting out those words at the award ceremony, he had stayed in Mountain Cherry Garden for the past two days, but even so, he received quite a few calls.

For example, his sister He Zi mocked him, and even read that sentence to him on the phone... His hair stood up from embarrassment, okay!!

There were other friends who, when calling to congratulate him on winning Best Film, more or less teased his strange remarks...

Even Akina asked very black-belliedly on the phone last night: "Naoki-san, what song do you think I should use as BGM? How about *Forbidden Zone*? In my forbidden zone, surely no one can defeat me! Hahaha~"

Naoki Nagayama had already decided that when they met tonight, he must play *Forbidden Zone* with a player while defeating this little girl in bed!!!

While Naoki Nagayama was lost in memories, Kuniharu Morikawa spoke:

"Naoki-san, you have to think this way. Anyway, you can't get away from it... It's better to maximize the influence of these two sentences... On one hand, it can maintain your heat, and on the other hand, it is also good for the company's business..."

In fact, after the language memes spread, it can indeed maintain long-term heat. On the internet in later generations, language memes can indeed make traffic stars appear in people's conversations... and may even replace the original body...

But Naoki Nagayama doesn't want this. He wants to be a strength-based actor, the kind who speaks with works!

Seeing that his sleeve was about to tear, Naotaro Zhongxi still didn't mean to let go, and there were two subordinates at the door who were blocking the door. Naoki Nagayama's eyes turned:

"These buzzwords were said when I participated with Xiu-san, and Xiu-san also contributed! If you can persuade Xiu-san to participate, then I will participate!"

"Do you mean what you say?" Naotaro Zhongxi's eyes lit up.

"Of course!" Naoki Nagayama said firmly, "You have my word!"

Xiu-san, I fell into the water, I will definitely drag you down too!

So at this moment, the pressure was on Yin Tangxiu, who was originally watching the show, and Naoki Nagayama easily escaped and came to the editing room.

Masataka Komori, who hadn't been seen for a long time, appeared in the editing room, chatting with Kijima Xu about the latest MV production. Seeing Naoki Nagayama, he hurriedly greeted him:

"Naoki-san! You're here~"

"Masataka-kun, did you actually come back? Did the distribution talk go smoothly this time?"

Masataka Komori had been running around with Zhijian Sugiyama of the Distribution Department during this time, contacting movie theaters and expanding distribution channels.

"Hai, the movie theaters in large cities have basically been walked through once, and the rest will be slowly expanded in the future." Masataka Komori said, "After coming back, I found that Kijima-kun was producing MVs here, so I came over to learn."

"Ha, actually it's no different from the advertisements you produced before..." Naoki Nagayama smiled, "It's just that the quantity is relatively large, and it's time-consuming and laborious..."

Turning his head, he asked Kijima Xu: "Did the others go to guide those part-time students?"

"Yes, they all went to Tokyo University of the Arts..." Kijima Xu pointed to a stack of videotapes on the table, "These are the masters they produced in the past two days, and Masataka-kun and I are reviewing them. There are also the first batch of copies..."

"Oh? Then I'll take a look too~"

Because the current MV requirements are not high, as long as it is roughly similar to the song style, the main thing is subtitles, so the part-time staff did a good job. After watching a few, he didn't find any major problems, so Naoki Nagayama was relieved.

"Contact the film technology factory later and copy all these masters." Naoki Nagayama calculated the time, "By April, the first KTV should be decorated..."

Looking at the copied MVs on the table, Naoki Nagayama's heart moved, and he took a few...

"I'll go test these first."

When he returned to the office, only Kuniharu Morikawa was left. Naoki Nagayama was a bit surprised: "Where is Xiu-san? And the others?"

"Haha, Naoki-san is really cunning!" Kuniharu Morikawa laughed: "Xiu-san couldn't stand Naotaro Zhongxi's pleading, and didn't want to agree, so he ran out... saying he wanted to see if the venue for the *Love Like the Falling Rain* coffee snack hall was ready~"

"Then Naotaro Zhongxi?"

"Of course he followed out~"

"..." So, the pressure was indeed on Xiu-san! Naoki Nagayama raised his mouth, "Morikawa-san, then I'll go out first too~"

"Naoki-san, what are you going to do?" Kuniharu Morikawa was curious, "I haven't seen you often lately."

"Didn't I establish an investment company with a friend? I have to go see the stock investment situation."

Naoki Nagayama can't appear in crowded places at all now, so he hasn't gone to tourist attractions recently. Instead, he is going back and forth between Mountain Cherry Garden - Studio - Investment Company.

On the investment company side, Genta Nakai had already inquired through connections that Fujitsu was negotiating with General Air Conditioning, so he already highly identified with betting on this Fujitsu General stock.

"Stock things like this are all floating wealth..."

Coming all the way from the Showa era, Kuniharu Morikawa, who is older, has always had resistance to the stock market and values physical assets more.

So he bought a few houses silently in the past two years... This made Naoki Nagayama very gratified.

"Hahaha, Morikawa-san, there are still people making money in the stock market~" He didn't deliberately want to change his old friend's thinking, Naoki Nagayama just let him rest assured, "Don't worry, we are scientific stock speculation... we are here to make money, not to speculate."

"..."

Kuniharu Morikawa didn't care. In terms of money-making ability, Naoki Nagayama is many times higher than him.

"By the way, Naoki-san, are you in a hurry to go there?"

"Not in a hurry... What's wrong?"

Kuniharu Morikawa started to tidy up the documents: "Then go with me to the 'Girls' Apartment'. Xiaobirui Juanxun and Momoko Kikuchi have already moved in. I want to visit them... and chat by the way~"

In fact, it is to build a good relationship with the new idol artists. After all, nominally, their "guardian" in the entertainment industry is still Kuniharu Morikawa. Although Masami Inada is responsible for the agency's affairs, he is not a legal person after all.

The GG agency under the Tree Friend Group has a "girls' dormitory" for all female idols to live in. This has been circulating in the industry for a long time. People who like to gossip even call this dormitory "Playboy Naoki's Harem"~

The specific location has also been found by paparazzi, but they can't get in because the one Kuniharu Morikawa rented is a dormitory building inside a closed girls' school in Suginami Ward... The management is very strict.

The adult Cat's Eye sisters don't care about them. They have also earned a lot of money now and found their own places to live. It doesn't matter if they bring boyfriends occasionally. But minors... still have to be watched!

After the careful inspection of the security guard uncle, the cars of Kuniharu Morikawa and Naoki Nagayama were able to enter the park and park directly at the entrance of the dormitory.

In the lobby on the first floor, they saw Xiaobirui Juanxun and Momoko Kikuchi who were already waiting. At this time, they were the only two who had no announcements to run.

"Morikawa-san, Naoki-san!" The two girls bowed and greeted nervously.

"Hmm, sit down quickly..." Kuniharu Morikawa answered kindly, and then said, "You two are newcomers to the agency. This time I came to see you two with Naoki-san, wanting to see if there is anything you are not used to..."

"Not at all!" The two girls said immediately, "The room is very big, the kitchen is also very easy to use, and other idol seniors are also very gentle..."

Naoki Nagayama also smiled: "Can you two cook by yourselves?"

"Hai!"

The conversation like chatting at home relaxed the slightly nervous atmosphere. When they were almost done chatting, Kuniharu Morikawa said:

"If there is anything you need, you can tell your manager or Masami-kun, or you can find me..."

"Hai! Arigato~" The two little girls felt very well-behaved.

Afterwards, Kuniharu Morikawa glanced at Naoki Nagayama: "Naoki-san, for Juan-chan, should she record *Love Like the Falling Rain* first, or start filming first?"

"This..." Seeing Xiaobirui Juanxun's gaze looking at him, Naoki Nagayama thought for a while, "Juan-chan's vocal training still needs a period of time. The difficulty of *Love Like the Falling Rain* is still a bit high. I will communicate with Sachiko Tokunaga to focus on training her low voice and breath..."

"As for the specific time, we can take our time. Anyway, the filming of *Love Like the Falling Rain* hasn't started yet."

Kuniharu Morikawa continued: "Then what about Momoko Kikuchi? Her basic skills have been trained in school. What about her debut song?"

Good, Kuniharu Morikawa, you guy, are you ambushing me here?

"Cough cough, for Momoko-chan..." Naoki Nagayama looked at the slender and agile girl in front of him, "I haven't created her debut song yet..."

"Eh?"

Momoko Kikuchi was a bit surprised and opened her eyes wide to look at Naoki Nagayama in front of her. However, when she saw the handsome guy in front of her looking at her, she lowered her head shyly when their eyes met. It really felt like she was shy before speaking.

Kuniharu Morikawa explained: "Newcomers' debut songs are all created by Naoki-san. It is Tree Friend's exclusive benefit!"

"Why is it called a benefit..." Muttering, Naoki Nagayama continued, "For Momoko-chan, the next step is to film a movie called *April Story*. We will film it when the cherry blossoms start to bloom."

"Is it the one Naoki-san mentioned at the award ceremony?"

Momoko Kikuchi really watched the live broadcast... Naoki Nagayama could only answer: "Hai!"

"Then do I need to adapt to the role first or something?" The girl was a bit nervous, "Although I have acting experience, I haven't tried movies..."

"No need, what I want is the temperament of a blank sheet of paper!"

"..."

The conversation in the girls' dormitory didn't last long, just to understand the two newcomers a little better. On the way out, Kuniharu Morikawa asked:

"Naoki-san, for these two, what are their future development directions?"

"Juan-chan has a singing talent. For Momoko-chan, let's be like Yuki Saito... biased towards film and television programs in the future." Naoki Nagayama recalled the experiences of the two and set directions for them according to past memories.

"Hai... I understand~"

The two separated at the door, and Naoki Nagayama headed towards Tree Friend Capital in Ginza.

When he arrived at the floor of Tree Friend Capital in this office building, it was still crowded with people, and there were still many people coming for interviews. However, this time, the receptionist lady, Zhouxiang Jinjing, recognized Naoki Nagayama at a glance.

"President Nagayama, you're here!"

Bowing respectfully, Zhouxiang Jinjing was still very nervous. She really didn't want to go home directly!

"Hmm, Jinjing-san, is Nakai-san here?" Naoki Nagayama didn't mean to tease this lady and asked with a smile.

"Hai, Minister Nakai is in a meeting in the conference room."

"Meeting? Will it take a long time?"

"It's been more than an hour~"

Naoki Nagayama felt it should be almost done, so he said: "When their meeting is over, tell Nakai-san that I'm here~"

"Hai!"

Naoki Nagayama went to his office. Since the last time he came, there were many more materials in the office, mainly industry analysis, data analysis, etc., from paid consulting companies for Naoki Nagayama to use.

Sitting in the boss chair, Naoki Nagayama looked at some reports with peace of mind... He often read these in his previous life, and he is very familiar with them now.

After about half an hour, Genta Nakai knocked on the door and came in:

"Naoki-san! You're here~"

"Nakai-san..." Naoki Nagayama asked, "What meeting, for so long?"

"The summary of February and the expectations of March..." Genta Nakai said, "Our actions need to be kept secret, but normal business still needs to be carried out."

"About the loan from Mitsubishi Bank?"

"Regarding the loan, I have already mentioned it to Zhenxing Ito..." Genta Nakai mentioned his senior, "Although our company's capital is very strong, the amount of the loan is too high!"

"Is it not okay to borrow 5 billion?" Naoki Nagayama was curious, it was only one time.

"Mainly because our company is still a startup company, and the cash flow and financial statements are not good..." Genta Nakai was also very helpless. Although the policy is very loose, it won't work if the conditions are too poor!

"..."

After thinking for a while, Naoki Nagayama tapped the table: "If it really doesn't work, let's use my few properties as collateral first..."

As he said that, he started to calculate: "The courtyard in Kyoto, estimated at 1.5 billion; Sanmeiju, 500 million; the shops in Shibuya and Akihabara, count as 200 million... the small building in Harajuku 150 million..."

Genta Nakai was stunned. Are there really so many real estates casually?!

"Cough cough, Naoki-san, enough, enough!" Feeling that Naoki Nagayama hadn't stopped, Genta Nakai choked, "Enough, with physical assets, plus our own funds, there will definitely be no problem!"

"Then do it as soon as possible..." Naoki Nagayama said to Genta Nakai, "I always feel that the negotiations between these two companies will be successful soon."

Even if the loan is in place, we must pay attention to the way of buying Fujitsu General. Overseas accounts, isolated operations, it is impossible to buy with a large amount of funds at once. Otherwise, if the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office thinks it is manipulating the stock market, it will definitely give a pair of silver handcuffs!
