Chapter 688: The dullness of the rich, no interest in money!

Ying Taro could again stick his head out of the car window on the highway and open his mouth wide to drink the northwest wind.

After waking up in the room of his hometown in Shizuoka in the morning, he took away a cat and a dog in Mother Nanako's reluctant eyes, and took the newly bought car, and they drove towards Shanying Garden in Tokyo.

"Wild Grass will cry today..." After all, his toy was taken away. "But there is no way, if I don't leave, I will really get sick from being fat!"

Looking at the happy appearance of the dog like a pig, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but sigh. At least there was one good thing, now he didn't have to worry too much about Ying Taro being blown off the car.

Touching the fleshy back of the dog, Naoki Nagayama said:

"Ying Taro, after returning home, we will start running from tonight, what do you think?"

"Wang Wang~ (Flying~)" The dog opened his mouth, and his tongue was blown by the wind like a flag.

"Hmm, Ying Taro, you agree! Then it's settled, let's start from five kilometers!"

The unscrupulous owner set the exercise plan just like that, and then looked at the fat orange in the cat cage in the back seat,

"As for Meow Taro, let's start by cutting the cat food in half! If you really can't hold it, go catch mice yourself!"

The fat cat, who was high on catnip, naturally couldn't say a word of rebuttal.

The brand-new painted AE86 was bright and deep blue in the sunlight, galloping on the highway by the sea, as if the deep blue of the sea and the azure of the sky were combined, gathered on this car, making the drivers and passengers on the same road couldn't help but cast surprised eyes.

This car is indeed not suitable to be Akina's car~

After returning to Shanying Garden, Naoki Nagayama discovered another thing... there was no parking space in his garage, and this car could only be parked outside the garage...

"It seems that in the future, this car... also needs to find a place... or should I renovate and expand the garage of Shanying Garden?"

After Ying Taro came to Shanying Garden, which he hadn't seen for a long time, he ran around in the courtyard and living room like a celebration, and even left some marks under the cherry tree and the corner of the wall... Fortunately, he didn't bring bad habits into the room, otherwise he would definitely be beaten.

As for Meow Taro, Naoki Nagayama threw the confused fat orange into its cat nest, waiting for it to wake up and explore by itself~

As for now, Naoki Nagayama had to go out first, go to the Porsche car dealership first, and order a blue Porsche that was more suitable for girls to drive...

At Tree Friend's studio, even though Naoki Nagayama said he would give the film crew three days off, Mudao-kun still came to work overtime...

Anyway, there was no difference at home, and the landlord downstairs didn't even find out that he had been on a business trip for a month!

This is the employee the boss likes! Even if the boss might not necessarily see his overtime...

In the editing room, according to the plot of the script, a pile of filmed material was sorted and classified. Hundreds of videotapes were not a small project.

"This is the shot of the 365-453 scene..." "These few are camping material..."

In addition to the videotapes classified by number, there were also some materials that Naoki Nagayama occasionally took when he was in the mood, filming the surrounding environment, all of which were sorted out.

Just when he wanted to rest, the door of the editing room was pushed open, and Xiu Yin Tang led the way in, still talking to the people behind, and suddenly saw someone in the editing room...

"You are..."

Xiu Yin Tang asked subconsciously. Didn't he ask Xing Jiahua at the front desk before, saying that no one was in the editing room?!

Mudao-kun didn't panic at all, raised his hand, and a golden streamer flashed in the sunlight. It was a golden Patek Philippe luxury watch...

"Ah, Mudao-kun! So it's you!" Xiu Yin Tang seemed to be awakened: "I remember the film crew was on holiday, right?!"

"I have nothing to do, so I came early to organize the movie material." Mudao-kun explained, and then looked at the young people following Xiu Yin Tang. "Is Xiu-san going to use the editing room?"

Xiu Yin Tang turned his head and introduced a few young people:

"These are graduates of Tokyo University of the Arts, about to join our Tree Friend... I brought them to see the company's situation."

In fact, these guys are the new batch of coolies, and they will work hard in the set and behind the scenes for the movie production of Tree Friend Films in the future...

"I see..." Mudao-kun, since wearing the luxury watch, his communication with people has also become much smoother, so he continued,

"Isn't Xiu-san saying he is filming 'Blue Sea'?"

"Ha, a typhoon suddenly started over there... so it can only be postponed..." Xiu Yin Tang said. "Just happened to come back."

Just as he was talking, he saw the material Mudao-kun was organizing, and his interest greatly increased: "This is the material for 'Kikujiro's Summer', right?"

"Yes."

"Haha, since we met, let me see it~" Xiu Yin Tang walked closer. "I haven't seen it when Naoki-san was filming, I'm very curious."

"This..." Mudao-kun was stunned for a moment, but after all, the other party was the person in charge of Tree Friend Films and his direct superior, and watching a videotape was not a big deal. "Since Xiu-san said so, let's take a look casually, it's all raw material, completely unedited..."

"Hmm hmm, it's okay, it's okay." Xiu Yin Tang looked at Mudao-kun tinkering with the projector, and then said to the young people behind him, "You are lucky, you can see the original filming material of the famous director Naoki Nagayama! Everyone come and sit down!"

"Yes!" "Excuse me~" "Really sorry..."

Saying so, these few guys who graduated from film school sat down very honestly.

As the curtains were drawn, the camping segment of "Kikujiro's Summer" appeared on the screen used for trial viewing...

To tell the truth, the original material actually looked very strange. A group of people bustling and preparing, and then after someone with a clapperboard shouted, it officially started filming, various original shots, fragments from various angles...

Looking at the fat man painted with oil paint pretending to be a carp, the bald head wearing a mask pretending to be an octopus, and the childish games from various angles afterwards... several high-achieving students who graduated from film school were stunned~

This is something filmed by the famous big director Naoki Nagayama?! The short films we filmed when we were in school were better than this!

Xiu Yin Tang also furrowed his brows. He couldn't see any beauty from these shots, and it couldn't be called interesting. Even the movie lines were very few... The makeup of actors of such an old age becoming strange looks, it looked a bit discordant.

"Naoki-san's movie this time... how does it look like it's going to fail..."

He muttered in his heart, but saw the graduates watching next to him, and felt that at least he couldn't let them look down on Naoki Nagayama at this time. If they didn't want to join Tree Friend because of this, it would be a pity.

After all, college students in this era don't worry about work at all, and many big factories are asking for people with high salaries!

After one disc of material was finished, Xiu Yin Tang stopped Mudao-kun's action of changing it, and instead said to the graduates:

"You all saw it... this is completely unedited movie material, it looks like it's plain, right?

... However, in the subsequent editing, Naoki Nagayama will use different editing methods to show a wonderful story with lens language!"

How dare the graduates say anything, they could only nod busily...

"Yes, yes, it still depends on the director's editing skills!"

"It's just like cooking, how to turn ordinary ingredients into a delicious dish depends on the chef's ability!"

"Really looking forward to what it looks like after Director Naoki edits it!"

Although there was a bit of flattery, the graduates all said words of praise seriously, so Xiu Yin Tang didn't say anything else.

"Mudao-kun, then you continue to organize~ I will take them to see other departments."

"Yes~"

Mudao-kun silently packed up...

Xiu Yin Tang took the students for a walk, and then sent them away, but these guys chatted on the way back.

"Naoki Nagayama... doesn't seem to be older than me..." After graduating from college, he was almost 24 years old!

"The material just now looked very strange... his ability isn't blown out, right!"

"Maybe, with that level of filming, I can do it too!"

Chatting chatteringly about the material they just saw, several people even developed an ambition to be able to replace him... But just when they were chatting happily, someone suddenly asked.

"Wait, we entered the editing room, was there someone who put the material for us?"

"... Seems like there was someone, but I don't remember~"

"Wasn't it Senior Xiu who put it for us? Why didn't I notice there were others?"

Three young faces suddenly became a bit terrified: "Could it be that there is an evil spirit?! Or an urban legend? Invisible man?"

The conversation slowly turned into whether Tree Friend used some improper evil means to make movies... otherwise how could there be a popular movie every two or three months!!

And on the other side, Xiu Yin Tang walked into the office after the students left.

"Otomo-san, Naoki that guy won't come to the studio for the next few days, right?" Xiu Yin Tang just finished talking to the students and was thirsty, poured a glass of lemon water and drank it in one gulp.

"Didn't Naoki-san say he would give three days off?" Otomo Yoshimura was still approving reports, saying casually, "I guess he is sleeping in at home now~"

"This guy is really leisurely~" Xiu Yin Tang sighed. "Actually finished filming so quickly... 'Blue Sea' hasn't started long, and actually encountered a typhoon..."

"A typhoon is only two or three days." Otomo Yoshimura persuaded. "Maybe it will be Tokyo's turn soon~"

After talking for a while, Xiu Yin Tang suddenly became curious about the report in Otomo Yoshimura's hand: "Otomo-san, what are you looking at?"

"Ah... the budget report for Shizuka Kudo's re-debut plan..." Otomo Yoshimura raised the information. "Shizuka-chan is a bit different from our previous idols. She already has some fan base, so the first step to push her out is relatively large."

"Aren't Yuki-chan and Momoko-chan both fans after filming the movie? What's the difference."

"The difference between passersby fans and true fans."

The movies filmed by Yuki Saito and Momoko Kikuchi sold very well, and the exposure was very high, so the fame of the two heroines themselves rose very quickly, but those were all passersby fans who could just look at them.

If you don't count the contribution to the movie's profitability, the true money-making ability, the ability to let fans pay, really isn't necessarily higher than Shizuka Kudo.

"So Shizuka-chan's debut starts directly from small-scale fan meetings and roadshows, and then goes on announcements, so the budget is much larger." Otomo Yoshimura said. Starting promotion from offline is the right way to shorten the distance with fans, the way of orthodox idols.

"It's the same as Junko Ito at that time!"

"Much better than Junko-chan's situation..." Junko Ito only had the fame of a talent show program "Star! Birth!" at that time.

In short, for Shizuka Kudo's debut after transferring to Tree Friend, Otomo Yoshimura and the others really spent some thought.

"Then when is the first concert?" Xiu Yin Tang was a bit curious.

"Initially set for September 14th, promotion is about to start!"

At the same time, Naoki Nagayama was in the Porsche dealership.

"Are you sure this is the most classic Porsche model?" Naoki Nagayama asked the sales manager who was very diligent next to him.

"Yes!" Tomohiro Asai answered seriously. "Since the 60s, except for the earliest Porsche 901, the Porsche 911 has been a popular model for more than ten years."

"Hmm..."

Naoki Nagayama circled around this petite sports car. Exquisite, soft, beautiful... Even without considering its performance, its cute appearance is very suitable for girls to drive.

"Not bad." Naoki Nagayama nodded. "Is there a blue one? How long does it take to pick up the car?"

"Yes, of course."

Tomohiro Asai liked such guests the most, asked little, and paid quickly. "We don't have a sample car here for the time being, but there are photos for introduction... please come with me."

Naoki Nagayama looked at the information used for introduction in the office, and Tomohiro Asai next to him was still saying:

"I remember that the blue car is in the warehouse in Tokyo. If you don't consider other things to pick up the car, you can pick it up in three days after completing the procedures."

"Hmm, that's good~" Naoki Nagayama didn't talk nonsense. "How much money?"

"The current ordinary selling price of this model is 25,000 pounds, converted into yen, it should be about 7.854 million yen... Of course, if you need to pay in full, you can also get a discount..." Tomohiro Asai said very quickly.

"Hmm, less than 8 million, not expensive..."

At least it was cheaper than the Mercedes convertible he was driving. Naoki Nagayama didn't struggle too much, directly asked the sales manager to bring the contract, and then signed the agreement and paid the bill.

Tomohiro Asai had a bright smile on his face, saying repeatedly that he would give leather seats, various additional benefits, etc...

Naoki Nagayama only left one sentence:

"In short, I will come to pick up the car in three days~ please prepare the car, Manager Asai..."

"Yes! Definitely will!"

When he left in his convertible, Naoki Nagayama felt that he was like going to the supermarket to buy a box of fruit. It seemed that a luxury car under 10 million was not in his heart at all now.

Is this the dullness of the rich towards money?!

He now somewhat understood what "I have no interest in money" from a certain cloud in his previous life was about...
