Chapter 829: Even if the box office crashes, it's only a few million

At the juncture where the marriage storm of the top idol was constantly spreading, the last episode of "Love Generation" was finally broadcast.

The crystal apple-like love made all urban men and women look forward to it incomparably, and also made the crystal apple in "Love Generation" a standard gift for young lovers.

The last episode should have been a very important node, but it was occupied by more powerful hot news, attracting all attention. Although the ratings were not affected, the whole momentum felt a bit anticlimactic.

"So, Hiroshi Kijima is completely free now, right?"

Naoki Nagayama looked at Hiroshi Kijima, who was following him like a tail, full of helplessness,

"Just finished a big project, can't you go and rest well? Go traveling, go dating, go find a young lady...... there are so many interesting things in the world!"

"I feel that none of them are as interesting as following Naoki-san to film creative movies!"

Hiroshi Kijima said very sincerely, and looked at Naoki Nagayama with worshipful eyes. If he didn't know that this guy would also go to the red-light district, Naoki Nagayama would have thought he was gay.......

"And..... if I film it, it will definitely be less noticeable than Sakata-kun!"

Well..... having a low presence has become a job-hunting advantage!

However.... didn't you see the murderous look in Kongming Sakata's eyes? Such a good opportunity to film with Naoki Nagayama, others also want to improve!

"But.... Sakata-kun has been rehearsing with us for so long, and is already familiar with the script....."

"I can also rehearse, I can also be familiar with the script!"

Hiroshi Kijima didn't look at Kongming Sakata at all. Although they got along well usually, Sakata-kun, the workplace is such a cruel thing...... for a good opportunity, even if it's a good brother, you have to stab him in the back without hesitation!

"One camera position for Sakata-kun is not enough, one more can be safer!"

"Hmm......"

Naoki Nagayama was very troubled. After all, Hiroshi Kijima was the third seed that Tree Friend focused on cultivating, and the first two were Shuichi Ido and Masataka Komori respectively.......

Just at this moment, Shuichi Ido seemed to see an opportunity. Originally, he couldn't bring himself to compete with the younger ones, but now you two are actually fighting internally, so I will also....

"Naoki-san, actually I don't have anything to do now..... why don't....."

Hiroshi Kijima and Kongming Sakata felt tight in their hearts at the same time. If this big senior intervened, what would happen to the two juniors? They immediately formed a united front.

Kongming Sakata quickly said:

"Naoki-san, actually, it is indeed tiring for me to control the camera for seven or eight hours every day. When filming officially, it might be even more tiring. If Kijima-kun can share it, it would indeed be a big help!"

Hiroshi Kijima also nodded repeatedly:

"Yes, yes, if there are two people, the workload of behind-the-scenes filming can just be handled with ease!"

"Since Sakata Kongming also said so, then you and Kijima-kun discuss and divide the time!"

Naoki Nagayama finally decided, and then said to Shuichi Ido,

"Shuichi-san, give the juniors some opportunities...... if you are relatively free now, why don't you go and guide Masataka-kun's 'Little Sea Diary'? That side has a large crew of dozens of people......"

"......."

Shuichi Ido didn't speak..... He could learn new things and experience new movie filming creativity on Naoki Nagayama's side. On the "Little Sea Diary" side, it was purely hard labor...... and he had to teach others...... only a fool would go, okay.

After more than half a month of rehearsals, everyone in the crew was already proficient in cooperation and understood a lot about one-shot filming, so Naoki Nagayama didn't want to continue standing still.

He called the crew together:

"Minasan, everyone is already familiar with the script, and rehearsals have been going on for so long...... it's time to increase the intensity!"

"Hai!!!" Everyone answered full of confidence.

"Next, we will officially enter filming!" Naoki Nagayama said, "Polishing it over and over, striving to complete the entire one-shot of more than half an hour!"

Half an hour without any mistakes, this requires repeating it I don't know how many times!

I heard that in the future, bully Maguire filmed the hand-catching tray shot more than 150 times when filming "Spider-Man 1"...... that was only a ten-second shot!

"We understand!"

The crew members had no concept of the future at all, all of them were full of ambition!

However, soon, they would be hit hard!

The actual filming with Naoki Nagayama's participation was more than twice as cruel as when Munao Matsuo was the director.

"Crew members entered the lens, do it again!"

"Mikina-chan, didn't keep up! Do it again!"

"Makeup artist, the zombie's makeup is ruined. How can a zombie sweat? Do it again!"

"...... Do it again!" "Do it again!" "Do~~ it again!"

In just one morning and half an afternoon, the number of times they did it again was comparable to a whole week before....... making everyone in the crew understand why they had to repeat rehearsals so many times before!

This is really torture!

When it was near dusk, Naoki Nagayama saw that all the leads had stagnant expressions and couldn't even lift their emotions, so he called cut.

"cut! Let's stop here for today!"

Naoki Nagayama nodded at the listless crowd. This is the feeling of decadence, only then can a contrast be formed! Only when everyone makes all this a conditioned reflex can they film the one-shot without knowing it!

And only then can the joy and high spirits at the end look incomparably real!

"Everyone go back and rest well..... we'll continue tomorrow!"

"....... Hai~~~"

Everyone was dejected, and even the answers were perfunctory.....

After Naoki Nagayama greeted Shuichi Ido and the others, he drove back to the studio in downtown Tokyo. Yoshimura Otomo had called before, asking him to find time to come back.

"Naoki-san! You're back!"

The front desk receptionist Yukiko Suzuki had returned to normal, and she would greet Naoki Nagayama sweetly when she saw him.

The hot spots had been constant these days, and the matter about "Paradise Lost" had long since passed through her mind. What's so interesting about erotic books compared to top idols getting married in a lightning marriage!

"Hmm~" Naoki Nagayama nodded, "Otomo-san is in the office, right?"

"Hai! Otomo-san has always been there!"

Leaving the front desk and greeting everyone in the studio, Naoki Nagayama walked into the office.

"Otomo-san..... what's the matter that you called me back?"

"Ah, Naoki-san..... why did you come so late...." Yoshimura Otomo looked at the time, somewhat helpless, "Originally, I called you back because I wanted you to take a look at Tree Friend's new headquarters in the morning or at noon....."

"New headquarters...."

Naoki Nagayama finally remembered that the Tree Friend Group had bought an office building in Ikebukuro as the new headquarters at the beginning of the year, and it was currently being renovated!

"So, is the renovation finished?"

Yoshimura Otomo nodded:

"The hard renovation is almost finished. Water, electricity, and air conditioning can all be used." Yoshimura Otomo introduced, "Because of the use of environmentally friendly materials and solid wood furniture, the smell is also relatively light...."

He stood up and handed a document to Naoki Nagayama:

"It's time to prepare to move!"

Looking at the name "Tree Friend Co., Ltd. Headquarters Relocation Plan" on the document, Naoki Nagayama felt a bit emotional. Are they really going to move there?!

Opening the first page, the time on it was actually June......

"Isn't this not moving until June? Making it seem like we're moving tomorrow!" Naoki Nagayama curled his lips, "Otomo-san, you made me happy for nothing...."

"Of course, company relocation can't be that simple!" Yoshimura Otomo glared at him, "Organizing office facilities in the studio, grouping employees, the relocation process, and even the time to re-plan the commuting routes for other employees...... one by one, everything needs to be prepared in advance!"

"If we distribute the notice a little earlier, we can let everyone get familiar with it early! Then there won't be anything missing in a rush!"

"Hai hai hai!" Naoki Nagayama nodded, "Otomo-san, just handle all of this! What do you want me for?"

"After moving to the new home, we still need to hold a mobilization meeting or something..... Naoki-san, you need to prepare for the speech!" Yoshimura Otomo said.

"Eh??? Isn't it enough for Otomo-san to go up and say it?!"

"No..... moving is a big event, it's a bigger event than structural adjustment......"

Yoshimura Otomo said solemnly. In Japan, or in all countries with Eastern culture, there is a custom of being attached to one's home. For a Japanese company, moving to a new headquarters is a completely new stage...... so the president must speak!

"So Naoki-san, you can't hide this time!"

"......."

Although he really didn't like speeches, seeing Yoshimura Otomo's serious eyes, Naoki Nagayama still agreed.

At worst, he would say three points today, and there would be more than a dozen small points in the third point....... He had seen leaders speak, what was there to be afraid of!

Seeing that he had persuaded his own willful president, Yoshimura Otomo breathed a sigh of relief, and then said:

"Originally, I planned to take a look at the new headquarters with Naoki-san today, but it's so late now......"

"Naoki-san, why don't we go take a look tomorrow?"

"That's fine~"

Naoki Nagayama nodded. Anyway, as the director and person in charge, his work schedule could be very flexible.... At worst, he would let the crew rehearse first and practice their feel.....

Chatting with Yoshimura Otomo about moving, he learned that after moving, he also had to notify other partner companies and other acquaintances....... They would send wreaths to celebrate and so on.....

For some important partners, he also had to visit them to formally notify them that his company had changed its address.....

In short, when a big Japanese company moves, it's like opening a new company again~

Speaking of the back, they talked about the movie being filmed.

"Naoki-san, should the promotion for 'Don't Stop the Camera!' also start?" Yoshimura Otomo asked, "Looking at this momentum, until May, Seiko Matsuda's news heat might not go down. They also have movies themselves....... Movie promotion might need to spend more energy!"

"Yes~" Naoki Nagayama also agreed, but immediately relaxed, "However, Otomo-san, our movie this time has nothing to do with Seiko Matsuda's love or anything. It's not in the same field, and there's no big relationship~"

"And...... I have a special plan for the promotion method of 'Don't Stop the Camera!' this time...."

"Oh?"

Yoshimura Otomo became curious, because Naoki Nagayama's understanding of advertising and promotion had always been amazing, and every bizarre behavior could achieve very good promotional results.

"This time...... I plan to use words like 'horror' and 'bloody' to promote 'Don't Stop the Camera!'~" Naoki Nagayama spoke eloquently, "After tricking the first batch of viewers into the cinema, because of the special nature of this movie, there will definitely be people among them complaining that the first half hour is shit!"

"Then..... suppress first and then raise~" Naoki Nagayama said excitedly, "Use 'Naoki Nagayama' actually filmed such a bad movie to lower expectations...... then use 'there is a surprise behind' 'laughing non-stop until the end'...... wait, to reverse the audience's impression."

Yoshimura Otomo listened to his president's narrative, somewhat uneasy:

"Naoki-san..... what if it plays out of control and really becomes a bad movie?!"

"It won't!" Naoki Nagayama shook his head, "I have confidence in my new movie!"

"......."

If it were an ordinary director who said this, Yoshimura Otomo would immediately give him a few slaps to wake him up!

Do you think the audience is your own family? Do you think your movie will definitely go according to your ideas?! I spent so much money, is it for you to mess around?!

However..... this is Naoki Nagayama!

Naoki Nagayama, who has filmed all movies with no box office lower than 1 billion!

"Naoki-san......" Yoshimura Otomo still persuaded, "Should we be more secure..... what if the box office really crashes....."

"Daijobu!" Naoki Nagayama waved his hand, "Anyway, the investment is only a few million, even if it crashes, it won't lose money!"

Putting it this way, Yoshimura Otomo instantly felt relaxed..... Yes, it's only a few million......

Even if it crashes, as long as it's said to be a creative work of Naoki Nagayama's whim, the filming of the movie itself is avant-garde and niche..... it won't hurt Naoki Nagayama's reputation either.....

How can it not lose money!

"Hmm, Naoki-san, let's do it!"

When the sky gradually darkened, Naoki Nagayama left the studio....... Just as he was about to drive away, he looked back at this inconspicuous studio.....

Starting from magazine photos, he entered the entertainment industry, filmed the first commercial here, the first TV series "World's Oddest Stories," and all kinds of memories over the past few years......

"I didn't expect that I would eventually leave here..... This is Tree Friend's first home!"

After that, this studio will be included in the management of Tree Friend Films, as a base indoors, returning to the original photography function of the studio...... Shuichi Ido is back to his old job. I don't know if the path of adult magazines has been broken!

When flying on the highway, Naoki Nagayama suddenly remembered,

"Speaking of which, the renovation of Shan Ying Yuan has been going on for a while...... shouldn't I go take a look?"

"By the way, see if the cherry blossoms at Shan Ying Yuan have all withered..... but they should all be leaves now!"

"The dwarf bamboos on the wall should have a lot of new bamboo shoots now..... I don't know if they have been shoveled away...."

"And the dry landscape, rockery stones....."

Having lived in Shan Ying Yuan for more than four years, thinking of it suddenly, he really missed it...... Naoki Nagayama turned the steering wheel and started driving toward Chiyoda. ===== CHAPTER 830 =====
