Chapter 655: You're joking, right!!

The scene that happened in Naruto did not affect Naoki Nagayama at all, and even the phone call didn't come that night.

At that time, it was estimated that his grandfather and uncle had also drunk quite a bit... After all, it was a rare big gathering for the Japanese Yakuza!

Anyway, Takahiro Misaka in Tokyo wouldn't overturn the KTV in one night!

Early the next morning, Naoki Nagayama still went to the studio as if nothing had happened.

When entering the lobby, he suddenly saw Masami Inada, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Naoki Nagayama was a bit surprised:

"Masami? I feel like I haven't seen you for a long time..."

"Naoki..." Masami Inada smiled, "There are really too many things in the agency now... so I'm running outside every day..."

"Ah... yeah."

Naoki Nagayama also remembered that the GG Agency under Shuyou currently had 8 artists. Except for Xiaobiruijuan Xun, who was currently in the *After the Rain* project, Masami Inada had to worry about almost all the other artists.

He, the boss, finally had some compassion:

"Masami is really working hard... Recently, is there any difficulty in the work of Junko, Yuki, Chikako, Momoko, Mikina, Fisa, and Ayano?"

It was a bit strenuous to say so many artists in one breath!

However, after Masami Inada heard Naoki Nagayama's inquiry, a light seemed to flash in his eyes... and then his back seemed to hunch a bit more, and the whole person suddenly became visibly decadent:

"Ah... speaking of which, the work of everyone recently has indeed slowed down a bit..."

"Currently, Tetsuya Komuro doesn't have that much energy to produce new albums and new songs for artists one by one... The level of other musicians we found is uneven... Even if our idols are desperately participating in announcements, offline meetings, and working hard to promote, they don't have the sales level of the past..."

Masami Inada's voice had a nasal tone, and his tone seemed to be about to cry...

Naoki Nagayama looked at Masami Inada with full disgust: "Masami... although you work in the entertainment industry, you are not suitable to be an actor..."

Masami Inada still looked at Naoki Nagayama with sorrowful eyes.

"..." Naoki Nagayama sighed, "Why are you like Dayou, always coveting my small treasury!"

"It's not coveting anything. After all, it's Naoki's thing. Naoki can give it to whoever he wants... Even if it's not given to our own idols but given to outsiders, we subordinates won't say anything... After all, we are just ordinary workers..."

A vein popped up on Naoki Nagayama's forehead...

What was going on with this Masami Inada? Why did he feel like he had become so tea-like after not seeing him for a while?!

"Naoki..." Masami Inada took a step closer... as if he wanted to say something else.

Naoki Nagayama hurriedly stepped back: "Alright, alright, I'll go back and look for something suitable..."

"Then thank you, Naoki!" Masami Inada instantly restored the true colors of a shrewd and capable senior manager, "I'll come to get it tomorrow!"

Saying this, without waiting for Naoki Nagayama to refuse, he turned and walked away quickly... his light steps showed his joy!

And the remaining Shuyou president finally realized that he seemed to have been fleeced by his subordinates... He was careless!

Naoki Nagayama, who walked into the office, sat on the chair with great emotion and sighed: "What's the situation? Employees can even manipulate their boss. It's really not like the old days..."

Yin Tang leaned over with great curiosity: "Naoki, what happened? Say it out to make us happy... cough, cough, let us give you some ideas!"

"..."

Naoki Nagayama rolled his eyes and didn't continue to pay attention to him, but instead said to Dayou Fangcun: "Dayou, regarding the casting of the little protagonist in *Kikujiro*, can we start now?"

"Hai, I have already contacted the Central Children's Drama Troupe before and informed them of the outline of the movie. They are very welcome to such a movie..." Fangcun Dayou said, "If Naoki wants, we can audition tomorrow..."

"Tomorrow... tomorrow is the weekend! Dayou actually wants me to work overtime?!" Naoki Nagayama shook his head, his face full of refusal, "Next week, let's set the audition for next week!"

"Okay..."

Fangcun Dayou sighed. It was already good that Naoki Nagayama could come two or three days a week. Since he hadn't even solved the problem of working on weekdays, don't expect him to work overtime~

Yin Tang, who was ignored by no one, leaned over again at this time:

"Naoki, do you want me to help with *Kikujiro*?"

Naoki Nagayama was a bit surprised: "Isn't Yin Tang busy with the release of *After the Rain*?"

"*After the Rain* is almost done now..." Yin Tang originally heard that Naoki Nagayama wanted to film a new movie, so he subconsciously wanted to join in the fun, but then thought of his own movie, "However, there is indeed a lot of promotional work to do after the release... Sigh, what should we do if Naoki's movie lacks my help~"

"Yin Tang, don't worry!" Naoki Nagayama patted Yin Tang's shoulder, "I have already found a guy who can completely replace you!"

"Replace me?!"

Yin Tang instantly became alert. Is there anyone in Shuyou who can replace me? Masataka Komori? No, he is with me... The filming skills of others... are still far behind!

"Who is it?!"

"It's Kijima!"

"Ki what?"

"It's Kijima!"

"What Xu?"

"Kijima!"

"What Island?"

"..." Naoki Nagayama didn't understand. Had Kijima's ability been upgraded again?

"It's the person who is always behind the camera!"

"Is there someone behind the camera?"

"Yes."

After talking for a long time, Yin Tang finally matched the name with the character in the previous filming experience,

"So it's him. Speaking of which, this guy has indeed been following our team from the beginning! He has also experienced countless projects, big and small..."

Yin Tang thought about the camera techniques when filming movies before and nodded approvingly:

"He does have this ability... Why didn't I notice it before?!"

"Hahaha... Kijima is relatively introverted..." Naoki Nagayama didn't know how to introduce Kijima's ability to others. The key was, who would believe it?

In the studio office, he reconfirmed the filming plan for *Kikujiro* with his two good friends.

"Since we are ready to start, the promotion will also be on the agenda." Naoki Nagayama said, "Once the role of the little protagonist is selected, we will start the preliminary promotion... This time, we will also follow the promotional method of *After the Rain*, the advance disclosure meeting, the press conference during filming, and the preview screening, none can be missing!"

"Hai!" X2

"In short, in the afternoon, I will go to discuss the promotion with the two leads, Yuko Tanaka and Takeshi Kitano." Naoki Nagayama finally decided, "And other supporting roles, I will also ask if there are any recommended people..."

Fangcun Dayou nodded: "I understand, I will also speed up the contact with other talent agencies!"

"I'll leave it to you~"

However, Fangcun Dayou still asked worriedly: "Naoki, won't there be any scandals with the heroine this time?"

"..." The heroine this time is Yuko Tanaka... there has already been a scandal once."

"So, there shouldn't be any scandals, right?"

"Should be..."

Naoki Nagayama didn't dare to guarantee it. After all, the media always seemed to be forcing him onto the path of a playboy...

At Shanyingyuan in the evening~

"Naoki~" Akina's sweet voice came from the microphone, "Do you know what day it is today?"

"Today?"

Naoki Nagayama recalled it, but he really couldn't think of it,

"What day is today?"

"It's the day we officially started dating one year... minus one day!" Clearly, she wanted to remind him of the anniversary and birthday, but Akina Mori said it in a roundabout way, "Did Naoki remember?"

"Ah... so that's it..."

Naoki Nagayama laughed. This kind of behavior of playing little tricks in front of you, when done by his own girlfriend, was actually a bit cute~

"Naoki~~~ Is just saying 'I know' enough?"

A coquettish voice came from the microphone. It had to be said that the broad vocal range made Akina very talented in this regard. The voice was sweet and greasy, like drinking half a catty of honey~

Naoki Nagayama wanted to tease his girlfriend: "Oh? Then what else does Akina want me to do?"

"So cunning!" Akina Mori pouted, "This needs Naoki to think of it himself!"

"Is that so... It really feels like a lot of trouble. What if I don't want to?" Naoki Nagayama was half-lying on the sofa, in the most relaxed state.

He had already arranged it, and he was so at ease because he knew what was going on in his heart.

"No way!"

Naoki Nagayama could already imagine Akina sitting upright on the bed in the hotel, her eyes wide open, and maybe even puffing out her cheeks...

"Naoki must think about it carefully! Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

The corners of Naoki Nagayama's mouth curled up. Usually, when it comes to birthdays and anniversaries, girls are the strong ones... But he was going to reverse the situation now!

"Otherwise I won't talk to you!"

This didn't sound like a threat at all... like an elementary school student throwing a tantrum~ But Naoki Nagayama still acted as if he was scared~

"Nani? How can this be! Akina, don't be like this... I will definitely think about it carefully, and I will definitely not let Akina down!"

"That's more like it..."

Similar conversations continued until midnight... Akina had been on a business trip for the past few days, so he hadn't seen her for a long time.

The sour and smelly conversations between lovers were just like this, making people's goosebumps stand up... Even Eitaro beside the sofa covered his ears in disgust... And Meitaro had long since disappeared, not knowing where he went to hide.

A night without words~

The enthusiastic sunshine of July made the clear sky look incomparably blue.

The breeze blew through the sky, pushing the slow white clouds to drift lazily, just giving the pedestrians below a little more shade.

This was a rare good day... but it happened to be Friday, and many people had to go to work.

Nagata Hidenobu, a senior worker walking on the road, held a cup of coffee, as if he wanted to save the energy he lost from staying up late last night, walking unsteadily toward the company, still muttering in his mouth:

"Last day! If I survive today, I'll have two more days off! Ganbatte!!! Tonight I'll go to the red-light district to find..."

"Hidenobu-senpai!! Ohayou!"

Suddenly, a full-of-energy greeting interrupted his spell. Turning his head to see the person running over, wasn't it Naito Kasaki, a junior who had just joined the job this year!

"Senpai, why are you so unmotivated!! It's only morning!" Naito Kasaki walked quickly to Nagata Hidenobu's side and said very enthusiastically.

"You'll be like this in a few years!"

Nagata Hidenobu teased. This junior was recruited just after graduating in April. It had been less than two months, so naturally, she knew nothing about the workplace...

So she was full of enthusiasm all day long, like a little sun bringing a different feeling to the cold and boring workplace...

"No way!" Naito Kasaki's face was full of longing for the future, "My plan is to work hard, get promoted and get a raise, and then become a strong career woman in the new era!"

"..."

Nagata Hidenobu looked at this junior who had no family background, no connections, and was slightly natural-born stupid, and really couldn't bear to hit her...

Although she studied hard in university and had excellent grades, didn't she see that after entering society, the things you can get by relying on hard work are getting less and less?

For example, among the new employees who joined in the same period, why were they assigned to be taught by business backbones and supervisors, while she was assigned to a slacker like me?

"Kasaki-chan..."

"Nani?"

"I think you should find someone to marry... The society where people bite people is not suitable for you..."

"Senpai, what are you talking about!" I don't know why, but Naito Kasaki actually became coy, "I plan not to consider starting a family within 5 years! Unless..."

"..." Unless what? Why are you peeking at me? Did you misunderstand something?

Nagata Hidenobu moved his eyes away a bit awkwardly... but when looking around, he suddenly found that everyone around him was looking up, and their mouths were making surprised gasps and exclamations...

"What happened?"

Hearing the sound of propellers from above, Nagata Hidenobu also looked up and was stunned...

Naito Kasaki beside him also followed suit and looked up, then opened her mouth in surprise:

"This is... you're joking, right?!!!"

Because of an event, Akina Mori, who got up from Kawasaki City at 4:00 AM and set off for Tokyo, had been sleeping in the car all the way.

When arriving on the outskirts of Tokyo, it was almost 9:00 AM...

"Akina-chan, wake up!" Ueda Maki gently shook Akina Mori awake, "We're almost at the recording site..."

"Ugh... are we there?"

Akina Mori, who often went on business trips, had practiced the stunt of waking up whenever she wanted. After realizing that she was about to work, she forced herself to wake up quickly, then drank iced coffee bought from a convenience store to refresh herself, and ate breakfast by the way.

The morning was the recording of a commercial film, the afternoon was to participate in the recording of a TV program, and in the evening, she had to discuss the design of the stage costume with the designer... and then she had to go to other cities tomorrow for concert rehearsals.

Even on her birthday, Akina Mori was still busy non-stop.

"But... what gift will Naoki send? And he said I would definitely be able to see it..." Akina Mori looked at the road sliding past the car window, thinking blankly.

Actually, no matter what the gift was, as long as it was sent by Naoki, she would be very happy~

Just at this moment, Ueda Maki suddenly shouted in surprise: "Akina-chan! Akina-chan! Look, look!"

"Hmm? Nani?" Akina Mori came back to her senses and looked at the window on Ueda Maki's side. It was the same road?

"Look up!" Ueda Maki pointed above and made room for Akina, "In the sky!"

Akina Mori looked up. A huge airship flew over from a low altitude, and on the spindle-shaped gas cabin above, bright handwriting was painted—"AKINA! Happy Birthday!"

And under the cabin of the airship, a huge poster was hanging, drifting in the sky...

The Akina Mori on the poster showed a brilliant smile!

Akina Mori was stunned... and Ueda Maki beside her was still calling out:

"Not just this one! There are two more!!! Akina, there are three in total!"

Finally, she screamed excitedly like a little girl:

"Ah~~~"

"Fangze, stop for a moment..."

Akina Mori asked Mingxing Fangze to stop temporarily on the side of the road, and then got out of the car and raised her head.

Sure enough, three airships were constantly circling over Tokyo...

Repeating over and over...

The gas cabins were all eye-catching and vivid! Birthday wishes for Akina Mori!

"AKINA! Happy Birthday!"

On the three huge posters were different photos of Akina...

Akina Mori was so excited that she covered her mouth with both hands, and her black and white eyes were full of little stars...

No wonder Naoki said I would definitely be able to see it!!!

This way of celebrating a birthday, it was estimated that everyone in Tokyo could see it!!!

When Naito Kasaki saw the second and third airships flying over her head, she had already jumped up excitedly.

"It's actually celebrating Akina-chan's birthday!!!"

"This is too... too..." An adjective passed through her mouth for a long time, but she still didn't say it.

Nagata Hidenobu beside her added silently: "Too extravagant and too high-profile!"

"This event must have cost millions or tens of millions of yen!" The tone sounded sour, with a faint feeling of jealousy, "And this is too showy!"

Naito Kasaki didn't think so at all:

"What's wrong! Senpai! This is called romance!!!"

"So envious! Akina-chan is too happy!!!"

"If someone also used an airship to celebrate my birthday, it wouldn't be impossible to marry him directly!!"

Saying this, she looked at Nagata Hidenobu with expectant eyes...

"What a superficial woman!" Nagata Hidenobu turned his head unnaturally, "Who would spend such wasted money, it could be a down payment for a house!!"

What's more, it seemed that no one else had done this before. I don't even know where the airship was rented, and there's painting and so on... The aviation management office must have been greeted, otherwise, how could it fly around in the sky over Tokyo!

Yabai! Why did I start thinking about feasibility!

No! This is not me! This is definitely not me!

Just when Nagata Hidenobu was asking himself, countless Tokyo people also saw the three airships circling in the low altitude of Tokyo. The obvious handwriting and large posters were undoubtedly blessings for Akina Mori...

On this day, everyone in Tokyo knew that today was Akina Mori's birthday, regardless of whether they were her fans or not~

The entertainment reporters and paparazzi reacted even faster, throwing away their breakfast and immediately picking up their cameras to find the best angle... This was undoubtedly the biggest news highlight of the day!!!

And it was a hot spot that made all newspapers put it on the entertainment headline!

There were also people with intentions who had already hurriedly contacted familiar event planning companies. They wanted to know who planned this birthday celebration event... and wanted to dig out the exclusive story behind the hot spot.

At the same time, there were some guys who were not short of money who saw such a unique and high-profile way of celebrating a birthday. Their eyes lit up, and they secretly decided that they would also do it for their loved ones...

Besides, it's not just celebrating a birthday, it can also be a proposal...

It can also be other things...

In short, this morning, because of Naoki Nagayama's operation, the whole of Tokyo had a lively morning.

The airships circling overhead actually had a characteristic, which was that they consumed very little energy and flew for a long time... Naoki Nagayama requested that the airships fly until the evening... ===== CHAPTER 656 =====
