Chapter 648
After the morning filming was completed, Akina naturally still had to rush to other work. After the entire film crew had a simple lunch, they split up and returned to Tokyo.
"Kijima-kun, you guys go back first~" Naoki Nagayama said to the film crew he brought. "The specific editing of the video will be unified later... edit it as soon as possible~"
"Hi~"
Kijima Xu nodded directly. Editing such interview footage is much more convenient compared to movie editing. There is no camera movement, and in an era without special effects, there is no need to increase the workload. You only need to pick out the key nodes and then cut out the inappropriate footage.
The editing room of Tree Friend is currently occupied by Xiuichi Yin Tang, and they are all machines for editing film, so they can only go to rent an editing room.
After Tree Friend changes its headquarters, all these functions must be fully equipped.
Kijima Xu took two assistants back, but Naoki Nagayama didn't return to the studio. When returning from Kiyose, he happened to pass by Ginza, and Naoki Nagayama decided to go to his investment company to take a look.
On the 12th floor of the Ginza office building, Zhouxiang Jinjing was leisurely doing front desk work, photocopying documents... Speaking of which, this company, Tree Friend Capital, except for the time of arriving and leaving work when she has to dress up beautifully to welcome and say goodbye to colleagues, her front desk work can be said to be very relaxed...
After all, this company generally doesn't have any customers coming to discuss business, and there are very few people. After arriving at work, they start facing the computer screen or making phone calls...
There is also no complex superior-subordinate relationship like other companies. The main superiors are actually just two people, one is Genta Nakai, and the other is often not there...
After finishing the work at hand, Zhouxiang Jinjing took out a small mirror to touch up her makeup. While touching up, she suddenly noticed one thing... It seems that she is the only female employee in this company!!!
However, she turned her head to look at the other male employees who were addicted to stock numbers...
"They are all fools!"
Just at this moment, the elevator outside the company door opened, and Naoki Nagayama walked out:
"Zhouxiang-chan~"
"Ah, it's Naoki-san!" Zhouxiang Jinjing immediately stood up nervously.
"I feel like Zhouxiang-chan is very nervous every time she sees me..." Naoki Nagayama smiled. "If others saw it, they would think I did something to bully Zhouxiang-chan..."
"This... no, no~"
Zhouxiang Jinjing hurriedly waved her hands to indicate that this was absolutely not the case. However, this gesture, which was like surrendering, combined with her already not-so-tall stature, made her appear even weaker.
On the first day of work, she didn't recognize the company president... and even treated him as a candidate coming for an interview... If it were other employees, they might have been fired the next day for stepping into the company door with their left foot~
Moreover, the president in front of her is a celebrity like Naoki Nagayama who is both handsome and talented... As an ordinary person, Zhouxiang Jinjing is of course under great pressure!
Seeing the little sister at the front desk looking very easy to bully, Naoki Nagayama shook his head: "Is Genta-san there?"
"Hi, the manager has been in the office!"
Naoki Nagayama walked to the door of the office. Through the frosted glass, he could see Genta Nakai was using the phone to contact something.
He knocked on the door to indicate he had arrived, and then Naoki Nagayama walked toward his office.
On the table, various reports for this period were placed as usual. Naoki Nagayama browsed through them at will and found that besides the stocks of General Air Conditioning acquired, the other stock accounts... seem to have very good returns too!
"Naoki-san, why did you come over suddenly?" Before long, Genta Nakai walked into the office to greet him.
"Haha, I happened to pass by, so I came over to take a look~" Naoki Nagayama smiled. "Genta-san, I saw the report. The returns for this period are very impressive!"
"Yes!" Genta Nakai revealed a smile. "The economy is booming, so the stock market is a bull market most of the time... Plus, according to what Naoki-san said, focusing on home appliance stocks... made the returns of several accounts under our name very good~"
Naoki Nagayama thought for a moment. It is now mid-84, and it is still more than a year away from the Plaza Accord in 85... It is not far from Japan replacing the United States as the world's largest creditor nation.
At this time, it is the period when Japan's economic growth rate is the strongest.
"Hahaha, then keep it up~" Naoki Nagayama nodded with a smile. After making a big profit through General Air Conditioning's stocks and possessing more funds, these accounts should be able to earn more.
"By the way, now pay attention to the stocks of companies like Coca-Cola, Apple, and Microsoft, and allocate some appropriately." Naoki Nagayama reminded. "These are all companies with long-term investment value..."
Naoki Nagayama recalled the companies that could continuously reach new highs in later generations...
"Hi, we will pay attention!" Genta Nakai nodded in agreement.
Of course, it's not good to have large sums of money in the stock market. Naoki Nagayama continued to ask: "How is the commercial real estate investment I talked to Keiko Fujita about before?"
Genta Nakai found the information from the filing cabinet next to him and gave it to Naoki Nagayama to look at:
"Counting the previous ones, our company has already acquired ten plots of land... All of them are plots with good locations that are easy to sell..."
He flipped through the plots one by one, feeling that it was still not very intuitive. Naoki Nagayama said:
"Genta-san, later make a map of Japan and clearly mark all the land that belongs to us."
Genta Nakai looked at Naoki Nagayama with some surprise: "Naoki-san, how much more land do you want to buy? Isn't Tokyo enough?"
"This..."
Even Naoki Nagayama, who had an obsession with real estate, was stunned for a moment. Although he knew that buying real estate at this time would definitely rise, the specific quantity... still had to consider whether he could run away when the bubble burst in 89...
Naoki Nagayama considered for a moment: "At least before 87, if there are spare funds, they can be purchased..."
"This... okay."
Although Genta Nakai thought that the stock market was the place to make big money, after all, the company belonged to Naoki Nagayama.
It had been a long time since he came to Tree Friend Capital. Naoki Nagayama naturally didn't intend to leave soon. After checking the main performance indicators, Naoki Nagayama also met a few of the employees...
After all, if he didn't appear for a long time, maybe others would really forget who their boss was~
In the last week of June, the sudden suspension of the Harajuku KTV really disappointed the young people who often came here.
Ever since this KTV opened, shopping, eating, and singing K had almost become a leisure habit for the surrounding students. But who knew it would suddenly stop business, and it stopped for a whole week!
It had already reached July, and it still looked like it wouldn't open~
The appearance of the three-story building on the street corner remained unchanged, but a suspension sign was hung on the front door, the door was tightly closed, and the transparent display glass on the side had also been drawn with curtains... Passersby would occasionally cast curious gazes, but no one would really knock on the door to disturb.
And inside the KTV, it had completely changed its appearance~
The background wall of the 'Music Station' main stage had already been installed in the lobby, the camera positions had been placed, and spotlights had been installed on the top... Many seats for extras and guests were also placed around the lobby...
In the morning, he went to the studio once. Naoki Nagayama looked at the short film edited by Kijima Xu. Feeling that there was no problem, he sent it to the control room of TV Asahi, and then drove to the Harajuku KTV~
When walking into the lobby, Takehiko Takei was doing the final debugging. The spotlights flickered continuously with the rhythm of the music, which was very psychedelic~
"Takei-san, there is no problem with the equipment, right?" After watching for a while, Naoki Nagayama confirmed with Takehiko Takei again.
"Hi! I also tested the connection signal with the TV station... Absolutely no problem."
"That's good~"
Naoki Nagayama nodded and then began to walk toward the private room upstairs... After all, the performance during the live broadcast today is to be in the private room, so it's better to take a careful look.
Just when Naoki Nagayama was checking, the director of the music program of TV Asahi, Motokatsu Okawa, walked over:
"Naoki-san, relevant guests have been invited to rehearse one after another before. Starting this morning, everyone will come again to conduct the final rehearsal."
"Mm, I'll trouble Okawa-san today, to command on the spot..."
"Hi, this is what I should do!"
Motokatsu Okawa was actually quite unconvinced about Naoki Nagayama's 'Music Station' before, but after seeing the specific program content and unique creativity, he was somewhat convinced.
The premiere of the program was actually in this KTV, which is very famous during this period. Who could have thought of that? And performing in a private room? Without even a band?!
Just the novel performance form alone was incomparably surprising.
"Is Kumagai-san on standby in the control room of TV Asahi today, right?" Naoki Nagayama asked another director of the program.
"Hi, Kumagai-san is over there today to ensure the smoothness of the live broadcast. If there is a problem, it can be immediately converted to the previously recorded material."
Motokatsu Okawa helped his colleague explain. As a senior program producer, Yasuteru Kumagai's reaction and decisiveness on the spot are absolutely trusted!
"Mm, then I'll trouble him over there."
Naoki Nagayama didn't say anything. For today's live broadcast, there is also the head of the production bureau, Yuji Otake, watching over there. There won't be any chaos on the TV station side.
"Naoki-san!" X3
When Naoki Nagayama went downstairs, he heard three calls. Looking over, it turned out to be the three members of the Shonentai.
"Nishikiori, Uekusa, Higashiyama, you guys came over so early!"
Naoki Nagayama saw the three and hurriedly greeted them.
As an agency that wants to make money, Johnny's naturally wouldn't let go of the notice of the new program promoted by TV Asahi. Otomo Yoshimura had already signed a contract with Johnny's Agency. In the future, every 'Music Station' program would have people from Johnny's coming to participate.
"Naoki-san, long time no see!" Noriyuki Higashiyama said to Naoki Nagayama. "We didn't see you when we came to rehearse before!"
"Haha, I have indeed been a bit busy lately~"
Naoki Nagayama looked at Noriyuki Higashiyama's handsome image, but couldn't help but speculate in his heart. Noriyuki Higashiyama seems to have joined Johnny's only in middle school, so he shouldn't be in Kitagawa's hunting range anymore, right?
Then he turned to Katsuhide Uekusa, who also seems to have joined in middle school... Then only Kazukiyo Nishikiori was left. This one seems to have joined in elementary school and is said to be very favored by Kitagawa...
"Sigh..." Naoki Nagayama let out a sigh~
"What's wrong?" Kazukiyo Nishikiori was a bit strange. "Why did Naoki-san sigh when seeing me?"
"Nothing, it's just that I didn't expect it, it's only been a year, right..." Naoki Nagayama explained. "The originally unknown 'Shonentai' is actually already one of the hottest boy bands in Japan!"
Originally, Shonentai should have been backup dancers for the Tahara Trio for two more years, and could only officially debut next year.
However, under Naoki Nagayama's butterfly effect, they appeared in the movie ahead of schedule, gained a lot of popularity, and then debuted as a matter of course.
Currently, they have become a boy band at the same level as the 'Shibugakitai'.
Noriyuki Higashiyama smiled and said: "This is all thanks to Naoki-san's help..."
"It's also because the three of you are very excellent~"
Naoki Nagayama waved his hand to show humility, and then continued to chat for a while about the recent situation, until he saw someone enter the door again.
"Higashiyama, Nishikiori, Uekusa... I'll leave this 'Music Station' program to you 'Shonentai'!"
Naoki Nagayama solemnly entrusted the three members of Shonentai. With the rising popularity of Shonentai today, it can definitely make the early stage of the program smooth sailing.
"Naoki-san, please rest assured!" "Leave it to us!" "Absolutely no problem!"
The three promised confidently and then walked to the lounge arranged for them.
Naoki Nagayama walked toward Tamori, who had just walked in, and pulled him over when he saw him.
"Tamori-san... today's official rehearsal is expected to start officially at noon, and we will go through it from beginning to end in the afternoon~" Naoki Nagayama communicated with him about the preparations before the live broadcast. "Are you already familiar with this KTV?"
"Yes, I've been here many times!" Tamori, wearing sunglasses, was still in a formal suit, looking very relaxed. "Rest assured, Naoki-san, the live broadcast won't have any problems! Even if there is a problem... at worst, I'll tell a manzai on the spot to round it off!"
As an experienced host, Tamori was much calmer than Naoki Nagayama, because as early as a few days ago, he had memorized all the scripts and simulated them hundreds of times in his heart.
He knew that at the last moment, the most important thing was to keep a normal heart... and show the best side to the audience...
It feels exactly the same as the mentality before an exam...
Naoki Nagayama and Tamori-san chatted in the lobby while watching the movements of the staff~
As time passed, the guests with more ample schedules arrived at the KTV one after another. Among those Naoki Nagayama knew were idols like Yu Hayami and Hiroko Yamato, as well as veteran singers like Shinichi Mori...
He also saw Teresa Teng! Her 'Atonement' has been rising on the Japanese cable chart for four consecutive months since its release at the beginning of the year, and there is already news that it will win the first-half champion of the All-Japan Cable Broadcasting Awards.
Accompanied by her manager, Teresa Teng came to Naoki Nagayama. As a guest, she naturally had to get to know the producer of the program.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Naoki Nagayama, I am Teresa Teng..."
Naoki Nagayama looked at this later-generation celebrity with a round face, loose hair, and wearing a denim shirt, and felt a little emotional. Even though he had already seen many celebrities in his memory, this one is a person who is popular throughout the mainland.
"Nice to meet you, I am Naoki Nagayama..." Subconsciously, Naoki Nagayama had already bowed and finished replying.
He originally thought about whether to use Chinese directly... It seems that after two or three years, some habits have been assimilated.
"Thank you very much for the invitation to 'Music Station' this time..." Teresa Teng chatted with Naoki Nagayama generously, which was completely different from the shy appearance of some Japanese female stars in front of people. "I have also heard of Naoki-san's reputation!"
"Haha, I also often hear Teresa's name. The song 'Atonement' is really too popular!"
After thinking for a while, Naoki Nagayama decided to talk to her in Japanese. After all, if he spoke Chinese at this time, it would be a bit like showing off... It would make both sides very awkward.
After Naoki Nagayama politely exchanged some pleasantries with Teresa, he stopped the conversation, and Teresa also went to the lounge to start preparing...
After all, the memories of the previous life are just memories, and the two had no intersection in the previous life.
As time passed, more and more guests arrived at the scene, and the final rehearsal before the live broadcast of 'Music Station' also began in an orderly manner~
