Chapter 619
In the last week of May, the weather has become hot, and you can go out in the morning wearing a thin shirt.
When he opened his eyes, Akina had already vanished without a trace, and the empty bedroom even gave Naoki Nagayama the feeling that he had been taken advantage of for free~
At this stage, his girlfriend is still too busy~
After Naoki Nagayama got up in the morning, he first went to the vicinity of Sumida Park yesterday to pick up his convertible that had been parked for a night, and then hurried back to Shanyingyuan.
The dog, who hadn't seen his master for a night, ran over affectionately and scratched Naoki Nagayama's clothes...
"Ying Taro~" Naoki Nagayama touched the dog's head. "Did you watch the house well alone?"
"Wang Wang!"
"That's good, then I will add a meal to you today!"
"Wang Wang Wang!"
"Very good, but playing out today will be paused for a day~ I have things to do!"
"Wang?! (Are you a dog?!)"
Completely ignoring the dog's miserable accusation, Naoki Nagayama walked straight to the second floor and drilled into the study. The idea of *MUSIC STATION* discussed with Akina last night must be recorded quickly before the memory dissipates.
After all, this is an important stepping stone to enter the TV station!
So in the bursts of breeze, in the study on the second floor of Shanyingyuan, Naoki Nagayama wrote seriously. In an era without PPT, a program plan needs to be written entirely by hand!
If you want to match it with elements such as pictures and tables to make the plan more attractive, you need high-level manual skills...
At the same time, in the Shinjuku headquarters of Fuji TV, Taishi Shotoku and Rumi Nishi have arrived at the preparation group office of *Twilight Meow Meow*.
"Daitai-san, are you going to give the *Love Generation* script to Department Manager Suda today?" Rumi Nishi saw the script on the table.
Taishi Shotoku nodded: "Hmm, I will go to the Department Manager after today's regular meeting."
"But the production bureau will definitely not let Shuyou Film lead the production... It is very difficult to break this status quo."
Rumi Nishi sighed. TV dramas must be produced by the production bureau, which actually involves the distribution of TV station interests, such as who the director is, which agency's relationship the actors look at, and how the advertising fees are divided...
There are many similar unspoken rules in TV stations, and they are all the consensus of senior management. In Japan's strict hierarchical society, this consensus is difficult to break.
"We must fight for it, this TV drama is really excellent." Taishi Shotoku said. "If it is not broadcast on Fuji TV in the end, I always feel that I will miss a major opportunity."
Although Rumi Nishi was not optimistic, she also held the same idea. The script of this TV drama is indeed excellent.
Just at this time, the chubby Yasushi Akimoto walked in:
"Daitai-san, Rumi-san, what's wrong, looking so heavy?"
"Ah, Akimoto-san, it's about a TV drama script of Naoki-san~" Taishi Shotoku didn't hide anything. After half a year of cooperation, he knew Yasushi Akimoto's talent well and had a close relationship with him.
"Naoki-san?" Yasushi Akimoto heard this name, and his attention was immediately attracted. "He wrote a script?"
"Hi, it's called *Love Generation*" Taishi Shotoku pointed to the script on the table. "It's right here."
"Oh? Don't mind if I take a look?"
Taishi Shotoku didn't say anything, handed the script to him, and told him about Naoki Nagayama's idea of Shuyou Film and Fuji TV cooperating in production, broadcasting while filming.
Yasushi Akimoto was distracted, looking at the script while listening to Taishi Shotoku.
After roughly flipping through the *Love Generation* script, with his screenwriting talent, he immediately grasped the focus of the story.
The love story of ordinary people, the male protagonist is contrary to the perfect Prince Charming in ordinary romance dramas, but has a lot of shortcomings; although the tangled love line is a bit much, it reflects the love life of ordinary people at the moment; and the special scenes in it, the confession on the big screen in the park, the crystal apple that keeps appearing...
"This TV drama, those who like it will like it very much!" Yasushi Akimoto sighed. "It will definitely set off a heated discussion!"
Just by reading the script, there was a profound image of the protagonist in his head, and he was deeply impressed by some of the scenes... not to mention after it was filmed.
"Yes, so I really hope Fuji TV can take down this drama." Taishi Shotoku agreed.
"But if Naoki-san wants to cooperate with the TV station in production, the production bureau will not agree." As Yasushi Akimoto who has worked in different TV stations, he understands the internal rules of TV stations very well.
Generally speaking, the production process of Japanese dramas is carried out in the form of the golden triangle of "Producer-Director-Screenwriter", and among them, the screenwriter occupies a leading position in the production process, deciding the stay or leave of actors and the subsequent plot direction, etc.
If it is according to the current rules of the TV station, then the actual producer of the TV drama is the production bureau, and the director and screenwriter are also decided by the TV station's production bureau. In fact, the production bureau has absolute dominance in the production process of the TV drama, because he can change the director and screenwriter!
Of course, the production bureau is also responsible for the final effect.
Rumi Nishi interrupted: "Yes... why can't it be like *Boys Over Flowers*, filmed and sold directly to the TV station~"
"......." Maybe Naoki-san has his own ideas~
Naoki Nagayama's demand is actually to take the dominance of TV drama production into his own hands~ Shuyou Film decides the director and screenwriter, is responsible for the final effect of the TV drama, and the production bureau just pays according to the results...
This kind of special case generally only appears in TV production factories with great fame like Toho and Toei. They have strong strength themselves and have intricate relationships with major TV stations.
Taishi Shotoku sighed: "Anyway, let's fight for it~ I hope the Department Manager can agree."
Yasushi Akimoto shook his head when he heard this, he was not optimistic about this operation. Then he looked at the *Love Generation* script carefully again, Naoki-san's creative ability... seems to have improved again!
Naoki Nagayama, who had been buried in organizing the plan for a whole morning in Shanyingyuan, stood up from behind the desk and stretched... He hadn't worked at a desk for too long, and his body couldn't take it anymore!
Looking at the program plan that had already taken shape, he nodded with satisfaction. After letting Akina see it later and chatting more with Akina, it should be perfected.
Ying Taro, who was lying on the side, also stood up immediately, wagging his tail and looking at his master expectantly:
"Wang Wang! Wang Wang Wang! (Are you done? Can we go play?)"
Naoki Nagayama touched the big dog's head: "Thank you Ying Taro for accompanying me~ Rest for a while, let's go downstairs to tease Miao Taro! Then we can prepare the big meal for lunch!"
"Wang Wang!"
He said while going downstairs, wanting to stroke the cat to soothe the fatigue of a whole morning~
"Ding ling ling!" Just when he walked to the first floor, the phone in the living room suddenly rang~
"Who would call at this time..." Naoki Nagayama answered the phone. "Moshi moshi, this is Shanyingyuan~"
"Haha, Naoki! You are really at home!" A hearty laugh came from the phone.
"Feng Big Brother?" Naoki Nagayama curiously glanced at the number, confirming that it was not Yongshan Feng's landline. "Where are you calling me from?"
"Did you find out!" Yongshan Feng's tone was full of excitement. "Naoki, I am in the KTV in Roppongi!"
"The renovation here is almost finished, and the phone line was just connected in the office, so I called you!"
It turns out that the KTV in Roppongi has been renovated almost!
Speaking of which, after the karaoke equipment is debugged, we can prepare to open for business!
"That's really great!" Naoki Nagayama was also very happy. "Feng Big Brother, has the karaoke equipment been installed?"
"Ah, the equipment has been sent over, it should be almost installed." Yongshan Feng invited on the phone, "Naoki, if you have nothing to do today, come and see, I think we can discuss the opening!"
"Haha, Feng Big Brother has more and more of a boss's pattern!" Naoki Nagayama laughed. The second KTV can be opened, so he naturally cannot go over. "That's good, I will come over in a while!"
"Hmm, just right! We can go to the club nearby for a drink!" Yongshan Feng said.
"Oh? Club?" Naoki Nagayama laughed. "Is Xinhai-san going too?"
Mentioning Xinhai Ishida, Yongshan Feng was a little twisted: "Xinhai-san... Then let's go to the izakaya! Naoki, come quickly!"
Sigh... Hearing Yongshan Feng's attitude, Naoki Nagayama knew that if they could make it, there would be another one who is afraid of his wife in the future!
Naoki Nagayama, who hung up the phone, looked at Ying Taro beside his legs:
"Ying Taro... it seems that today's big meal will be delayed..."
"Wang?"
After a while, watching his master go out, Ying Taro was stunned... actually even lied to the dog!
From Chiyoda to Roppongi is actually not too far, just turn a corner around the Imperial Palace, about ten minutes.
When Naoki Nagayama arrived at the KTV in Roppongi, he found that the enclosure here had been removed, and a sign made of colored lights was hung on the main entrance, with the name "Melody KTV" on it.
Only the two transparent showcases of the original bookstore closest to the main entrance were kept, plus the glass main entrance. Through them, you can see the luxurious layout of the lobby, the spacious service desk, the waiting area, two curved stairs extending to the second floor, black marble striped floors, matched with gorgeous crystal lamps and gilded decorations, it looks luxurious at a glance.
In Roppongi, only this will attract rich guests~
After Naoki Nagayama walked in, he saw his cousin, who was guest-starring as a shift leader at the service desk.
"Feng Big Brother!"
"Naoki! You are here!"
Yongshan Feng revealed a smile, and his sturdy body, which could not be blocked by the loose suit, walked out of the service desk. He didn't look like a boss, but like a big brother watching the field.
"The renovation effect here is very good!"
Naoki Nagayama looked at the renovation of the KTV and couldn't help but praise. The renovation work here was handled entirely by Feng Big Brother and Xinhai Ishida, and he basically didn't make any suggestions.
"Yes, this is referring to the style of other high-end clubs in Tokyo." Yongshan Feng was very proud. "When designing, Xinhai-san and I went to many high-end clubs to investigate."
"Together with Xinhai-san? Had a good time, right?" Naoki Nagayama joked. "What stage is it at now?"
"Uh....... Xinhai-san really went to observe the design......" Yongshan Feng scratched his cheeks, a little lost. "After we went in, we didn't even sing, and didn't drink... we were disliked by the club's mama-san~"
"Hahaha~"
It seems that Xinhai Ishida is a very dedicated architectural designer! However, a bad boy like Yongshan Feng who doesn't read much, actually fell in love with a highly educated science girl... It is really one thing to drop another.
After joking with his cousin for a while, Naoki Nagayama and him wandered around the KTV, checking for deficiencies while trying out the equipment.
There were already many staff members in the KTV, many of whom were old people from the Shizuoka Yamaguchi-gumi, but Shogo Hamasaki was not seen.
"Feng Big Brother, why didn't you see Hamasaki-san?"
"Ah, Hamasaki and several other brothers are temporarily resting in the sumo hall." Yongshan Feng said. "After all, after doing that, we have to avoid the limelight."
After the incident of the Ishii Association that day, the name of "The Five Tigers of the Yamaguchi-gumi" not only spread in the underworld, but also filed a case at the police station. So it is better to keep a low profile during this time, just to heal the wounds.
"There shouldn't be anything follow-up, right?"
"The Ishii Association has already disbanded. Besides, the police station broke the underground casino case and didn't want to cause more trouble, so there is nothing on the official side." Yongshan Feng said. "As for the underworld, the general of the Tokyo Yamaguchi-gumi East Asia Association China Group, Takahiro Misaka, also gave a message to the Sumiyoshi-kai that it was the Ishii Association that started it first... so it is reasonable to be retaliated."
Yongshan Feng sneered: "More than 20 people were broken by five people at the headquarters... The Sumiyoshi-kai doesn't have the face to say anything."
"That's good~" Naoki Nagayama nodded.
As for that Zhizhi Fujisawa, he shouldn't dare to continue to have designs on the KTV~
"Feng Big Brother, when do you want to open?"
After Naoki
"Find some friends to come and support tomorrow, and try business." For the operation of KTV, Yongshan Feng already has experience. "If there is no problem, we can officially open on Saturday!"
Naoki Nagayama nodded and didn't say much. This KTV will be operated by Feng Big Brother in the future, and everything will listen to him.
"By the way, is Grandfather coming?"
"No... Grandfather is so old, it's not good to run around." Yongshan Feng looked at Roppongi outside the glass door, his eyes filled with ambition. "Besides, this is just an ordinary KTV. We will have more in the future..."
"Haha, I hope there will be no police and underworld coming to make trouble this time~"
In the chattering chat, Naoki Nagayama and Yongshan Feng talked about the specific way of holding the opening ceremony, including the people to invite and the way of publicity, etc.
Seeing that it was afternoon, the two went to a high-end club in Roppongi to drink... Anyway, Xinhai Ishida was not there, so where is it not drinking~
In the evening, Naoki Nagayama was watching the popular music programs in the living room, comparing them with the plans in his mind.
From time to time, some creative ideas would emerge from his mind, making him record them in the notebook at hand.
"Ding ling ling~"
The phone next to the sofa suddenly rang.
"Moshi moshi, this is Shanyingyuan~"
"Moshi moshi, this is Taishi Shotoku of Fuji TV, Naoki-san, is that you?" A very rare voice came from the receiver, it was actually Taishi Shotoku.
"Hi, it's me." Naoki Nagayama was very surprised. Taishi Shotoku seemed to have only called Shanyingyuan once. "How could Daitai-san call?"
"Naoki-san..." Taishi Shotoku's tone carried some pauses, as if organizing language. "Calling tonight is to tell you one thing..."
"Hmm?"
Taishi Shotoku in the receiver praised: "Naoki-san's *Love Generation* script, I took it to Department Manager Suda to see. Department Manager Suda felt that the script was very excellent and believed that Naoki-san is indeed a gold-medal screenwriter."
Naoki Nagayama smiled: "The ending of this kind of story usually has a 'but'..."
"...... Hehe" Taishi Shotoku laughed a little awkwardly. "Naoki-san really has a lot of research on stories."
"Department Manager Suda believes that if this TV drama is led by our Fuji TV production bureau, then there is absolutely no problem." Taishi Shotoku explained. "Naoki-san, if it is a finished TV drama, Fuji can offer a very good acquisition price, and if it is entrusted to Shuyou to produce, there will definitely be a remuneration that satisfies Naoki-san."
"But you can't accept Shuyou Film leading the broadcast while filming, right~"
"Sumimasen, the Department Manager is very persistent in this regard." Taishi Shotoku sighed.
Naoki Nagayama had already expected this point, so he was not particularly surprised now: "Daitai-san, it seems that this is something that can't be helped~ This cooperation is impossible~"
"Naoki-san... is it really impossible to take a step back? I guarantee that the production bureau will not interfere with the production process!" Taishi Shotoku still wanted to fight for it.
"Daitai-san... we still want to control it ourselves..."
"......"
Since it has been said to this point, only a sigh can remain between the two.
After hanging up the phone, Naoki Nagayama fell into deep thought, thinking whether he should take a step back, what would happen if he let Fuji TV film *Love Generation*?
Anyway, isn't it enough to make money?
But then he thought, why should he? He didn't live a second life just to continue looking at the faces of clients!
It's not that he is short of money!
According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, this belongs to the fourth level of respect needs. After wealth freedom, Naoki Nagayama pursues equal cooperation with large companies like Fuji TV and getting the respect he deserves! ===== CHAPTER 620 =====
