Chapter 845: Want an interview? Make an appointment first!!!

After roughly discussing the plans for the celebration and media meeting in the office, Naoki Nagayama originally wanted to come to the distribution department to ask about the box office of *Don't Stop the Camera! *.

However, what he didn't expect was that his return raised the atmosphere in the entire studio by more than one level.

After walking out of the office, employees would stand up and bow to say hello when they saw Naoki Nagayama, and even when they were working, they would be more enthusiastic...

Perhaps this is the idol effect?

Arriving at the distribution department's office area, Naoki Nagayama rubbed his somewhat stiff cheeks and said to Lin Quan:

"Lin Sang, how has the box office of *Don't Stop the Camera! * been during this time? Are there still so many criticisms in the newspapers?"

"Naoki-san!" Lin Quan laughed, "The final box office for the first month hasn't been counted yet, but according to feedback from various cinemas, the rough box office should already be 600 million~"

"Only 600 million...." Naoki Nagayama sighed. Hearing the box office of billions, this low data is really disappointing, "It's just a little bit better than *April Story*...."

Lin Quan smiled bitterly. This data is already much better than most film production plants... According to previous years, it has even reached the level of entering the top ten box office films of the year.

However, in Naoki Nagayama's mouth, it's just a little better than *April Story*...

"Naoki-san, there were indeed many critical remarks some time ago, so it may have caused some of the audience to be unwilling to try."

Lin Quan helped explain,

"However, with Naoki-san winning the Palme d'Or, those critical remarks have disappeared... I think the box office performance of *Don't Stop the Camera! * has great potential!"

"It is expected that the total box office can definitely exceed 1.5 billion....."

"I originally expected 2 billion...." Naoki Nagayama shook his head. This movie might really be a bit ahead of its time, "Forget it..... I'll think of a way to promote it later....."

"......."

Lin Quan was speechless. Naoki-san, the movie is already filmed... don't come to grab the work of the distribution department again! You will make us feel very unaccomplished!

Naoki Nagayama didn't think so much. He turned to Lu Mian next to him:

"Lu Mian-kun, Ma Sai told me that you are responsible for my celebration activity?"

"Hai!" Lu Mian replied respectfully.

"Is the location set?"

"Currently tentatively at the Prince Hotel....." Lu Mian replied. Indeed, all large banquet activities are currently held in these big hotels.

"Okay~" Naoki Nagayama didn't have anything to point out, "Lu Mian-kun, reserve a table in the best position...... no, two tables...... leave them for me~"

"Uh.... Hai!" Lu Mian was stunned for a moment and immediately agreed. After all, Shuyou is Naoki Nagayama's biggest, "But Naoki-san..... when making the invitation cards...."

"Mm, I will invite the people at those two tables myself......" Naoki Nagayama said. These two tables are naturally left for his own relatives and friends, and Akina's too~

"I will give you the list later....."

"Hai, I understand!"

After explaining these things, Naoki Nagayama continued to wander in the studio for a while before returning to the office.

"Naoki-san hasn't left yet?" Yin Tang was surprised.

"Uh...... Yin Tang-san hasn't left either....."

Yin Tang said without good air: "I have to stay to handle the orders Naoki-san pulled in at the Cannes Film Festival!"

"Ah.... I see..... Haha~" Naoki Nagayama laughed awkwardly, "Then it's really hard for Yin Tang-san!"

"Naoki-san, if there is nothing important....." Yin Tang asked tentatively.

"No! I just remembered, there is another very important thing!" Naoki Nagayama stood up immediately and walked toward the office door, "Now, immediately, I have to go and deal with it! Then I'll go first! Bye-bye!"

"........"

Looking at the closed door, Yin Tang sighed.

At this time, Ma Sai just hung up a phone: "Yin Tang-san, just pull him down!"

"...... Pulling him down won't make him work seriously....."

"No, no, if Naoki-san wants to get rid of it early, he will definitely work very seriously..... and the efficiency is very high." Ma Sai talked about his experience, "When I had to deal with a pile of reports before, if Naoki-san was there, the workload of two days would be completed in half a day!"

"....... Really or fake....."

"Of course! What's there to lie to you about!"

Speaking of this, the two began to discuss how to find an opportunity to experiment...

"By the way, who did you just hang up on? You seem to have emotions!"

"A media outlet, wanting to interview Naoki-san..... The call was made to me."

"So it fell through?"

"Yeah, let them make an appointment....."

At the same time, the editorial office of *Shukan Bunshun* magazine in Tokyo.

Editor-in-Chief Kota Sakata hung up the phone angrily, full of anger:

"The guys at Shuyou are too impolite!"

"Editor-in-Chief Sakata, what happened?" *Shukan Bunshun* editor Kotaro Obara asked suspiciously, "Didn't you go to call and invite Naoki Nagayama?"

"No one can contact Naoki Nagayama...." Kota Sakata slammed the table hatefully, "So I can only find the headquarters of Shuyou....."

"But do you know? I reported the name of *Shukan Bunshun*, and then that Ma Sai actually said what?! He actually told me that this is a small media meeting and I have to make an appointment!!!

Also said that if the appointment can't be made, it means it's full?!"

"What are we? *Shukan Bunshun*!!"

Kota Sakata was full of anger. Originally, he thought Shuyou would at least give them some face!

"This......" Editor Kotaro Obara thought for a while, and then said, "Could it be because the predecessor Shinji Matsuzawa wrote a report about Naoki Nagayama...... which caused Shuyou....."

"Shinji Matsuzawa?"

Kota Sakata still has an impression of this reporter, but now he seems to be a freelance writer and specializes in film art.....

"Hai, maybe it's because of this that Shuyou is so resistant to *Shukan Bunshun*....."

"There is such a possibility....."

In fact, Ma Sai had no impression of Shinji Matsuzawa at all, because the two reports written before were Naoki Nagayama's scandals, but at that time Naoki Nagayama's scandals were indeed a bit much, so he didn't pay special attention to them.

And now, it's just that he doesn't care about *Shukan Bunshun*. After all, this magazine that relies on paparazzi gossip... Under Shuyou, there are no special gossips at all!

Because the treatment is one of the most relaxed in the industry, the salary is also high, and the protection of artists is also in place. There are not so many messy things, and the artists under his command are very loyal.......

Like Johnny's, Yoshimoto Kogyo, and Watanabe's black materials, none of them exist!

As for the love affairs of artists...... it's just to increase exposure~

Editor Kotaro Obara paused and continued: "Sakata-san, why don't we go find Shinji Matsuzawa? I should still have his contact information, let's see if there is any answer?"

"Mm, go ask~"

Kota Sakata nodded, and then had a headache alone..... Naoki Nagayama's subsequent interviews, this can be said to be the hottest news during this period..... If they *Shukan Bunshun* have no information, it will disappoint the readers!

"Sure enough, I still have to participate in the media meeting..... Forget it, make an appointment! If it really doesn't work, then ask the Editor-in-Chief to help find a relationship......"

In fact, not only *Shukan Bunshun*, but also *Friday*, *Shukan Jitsuwa*, *FOCUS*, and *Flash* have communicated with Shuyou, but they were all transferred to the distribution department.

Most of them were pushed away, and only the real four major newspapers couldn't be pushed away...... The media in the entertainment industry all realized Naoki Nagayama's difficulty and Shuyou's arrogance.

The production bureau of Fuji TV also ambitiously planned a celebration program, wanting to celebrate Naoki Nagayama's award on a popular variety show, but it still didn't get approval.

Department Manager Kazuki Takano directly found Daitai Sugiura:

"Sugiura-kun! Can't you persuade Naoki Nagayama either?"

"....... I can't contact Naoki-san at all!" Daitai Sugiura sighed, "Naoki-san's phone should have been blown up these days, so he doesn't answer the phone at all..... even the voicemail box is full."

"Mm? Is our connection with Naoki Nagayama so fragile?" Manager Takano was full of surprise, "If the phone can't get through, you go visit in person!!"

"....... Naoki-san moved..... Shanyingyuan is under renovation." Daitai Sugiura sighed again, "It seems he found a transitional house in Takanawa area....."

"So, you don't know the address?!"

"Hai......." Daitai Sugiura thought about it, it seems they really haven't been to Naoki Nagayama's house much.

"......"

Manager Takano originally thought that the relationship between Naoki Nagayama and Fuji TV was very close, after all, there were many collaborations and a five-year framework agreement, but he didn't expect.....

"You actually have such a poor private relationship with Naoki-san?"

"......."

Manager Takano paced irritably: "No wonder I heard that Shuyou's next TV series is going to cooperate with TBS! I thought it was really incompatible with Fuji TV!"

"?" This is big news, does Shuyou have a new TV series?

"It seems you don't even know the plan for the new TV series!"

Manager Takano shook his head at Daitai Sugiura, who looked confused. Although he also knew it at a drinking party before, it didn't prevent him from using it to reprimand his subordinates,

"Shuyou's next TV series is called *Squid Game*, which is a bloody TV series..... seems to be a new type, battle royale......"

A few words made Daitai Sugiura even more confused~

"In short..... hurry up and contact Naoki-san, from Shuyou or Ken-On, Akina Nakamori is living with Naoki Nagayama!" Manager Takano is indeed a superior, and immediately thought of a way, "She must have a more private contact method!"

"In short..... the hot spot of Naoki-san winning the award this time, can't be missed!"

"..... Hai!"

Daitai Sugiura left under the pressure of Manager Takano and returned to the office of Group 1.

Yasushi Akimoto was busy with his new program, and there were only Xi Lumei and two newcomers in the office.....

"Daitai-san, what's wrong? Why is your face so ugly?"

"Xi Lumei-san..." Daitai Sugiura rubbed his temples, "Besides the phone and Shanyingyuan..... is there no other way to contact Naoki-san?"

"..... Tried to contact Shuyou...... but they unified their caliber that they want to plan celebration activities themselves..... other media can participate..... broadcast....."

"Can't be like this..... How can Shuyou enjoy it alone! This is a happy event for the whole country!"

He complained like this, but if he stood in Shuyou's position, he would definitely take this opportunity into his own hands.

"Is there really no other way?!"

Xi Lumei also pondered, and finally could only shake her head: "I have no way....."

She only reached the address of Shanyingyuan~

Seeing this situation, Daitai Sugiura could only sigh: "Then there is no way, I can only go to Ken-On to explore intelligence!"

"Ken-On?" Xi Lumei was stunned, "Ah, are you looking for Akina-chan?"

"Yeah, Akina Nakamori must be able to contact Naoki Nagayama!" Daitai Sugiura nodded.

"Akina-chan, it seems she has a rehearsal for *Yoru no Hit* tonight....." Xi Lumei said, "We can find her in person!"

"Oh? That's really a coincidence~" Daitai Sugiura's eyes lit up, "Xi Lumei-san, how is your relationship with Akina Nakamori?"

"...... It's okay..... the kind that will chat when we meet....."

"Yoshi, then this arduous task is handed over to you!"

"......."

It's me again? Xi Lumei opened her eyes wide. She shouldn't have answered just now!

Naoki Nagayama left the studio, not just looking for an excuse, he drove directly to Shuyou Capital in Ginza.

"Zhouxiang-chan!" Naoki Nagayama saw Jinjing Zhouxiang first, and asked immediately without any pleasantries, "Is Yuan Tai-san here?"

"Hai.... but he is in a meeting....." Jinjing Zhouxiang explained quickly, "Do you need me to notify the Department Manager?"

"Mm..... forget it, I'll wait for him in the office."

Naoki Nagayama didn't disturb him immediately, but came to his office where he didn't come often.

The office he hadn't come to for a long time was still cleaned up cleanly, and the documents sent regularly were organized in the file cabinet. Naoki Nagayama picked up the recent revenue situation and looked at it~

I don't know how long it took, the office door opened:

"Naoki-san, why did you come over suddenly? Why not rest well at home for two days?"

"How can I have time to rest.... a pile of things to deal with....."

Naoki Nagayama smiled, chatted a little about the recent situation, and then returned to today's business.

"When I was in Cannes, I met many friends from other countries." Naoki Nagayama said, after all, the film industry is backed by capital, "and talked about many international situations....."

"The manufacturing industry in the United States can't hold on!"

"???" Jinjing Zhouxiang's face changed, "What does 'can't hold on' mean?"

"There are rumors that many big entrepreneurs and members of Congress are lobbying the Reagan administration..... demanding intervention in the foreign exchange market...." Naoki Nagayama said, "I also heard that many economists are also advocating changing the status of the strong dollar...."

Jinjing Zhouxiang scratched his head: "So, the pace of dollar depreciation is getting closer and closer?"

"Indeed." Naoki Nagayama nodded, "Japan is already the largest creditor country in the United States. As long as the dollar depreciates and the yen appreciates, then it can harvest Japan's capital without bloodshed...."

"Expected to be in this quarter....." Naoki Nagayama said, "We must be prepared!"

"Hai, we have been prepared for a long time!" Jinjing Zhouxiang said, "There are more than 40 billion in funds on the company's account, ready to be invested in the foreign exchange market at any time!"

"Mm....."

In the office, after communicating in detail with Jinjing Zhouxiang about the subsequent operations, Naoki Nagayama left with peace of mind. ===== CHAPTER 846 =====
