Chapter 991: You haven't seen true debauchery!!!

When Naoki Nagayama saw Honami Suzuki in the conference room the next day, he was a bit dazed.

The speed of the entertainment industry was a bit too fast; he was notified last night that the female lead might have been found, and today the person was brought directly over.

"Nice to meet you, I am Honami Suzuki's manager, Morimichi Tokunaga..."

"Nice to meet you..."

The manager, who looked very slick, introduced his artist to Naoki Nagayama very diligently, like a discounted product for promotion.

"After Honami-chan won the newcomer award from HoriPro, she has been actively honing her acting skills in various films, and is currently a mature actor... I believe she will definitely be able to satisfy Director Nagayama's requirements!"

"If Director Nagayama has any questions about her acting skills, we can perform an improvisation..."

"..."

Looking at the slightly restrained girl next to him, and the earnest manager... Naoki Nagayama felt that if necessary, he was the kind of guy who would persuade or even encourage artists to accept pillow business!

Actually, it wasn't his fault for being so diligent...

It was really because Honami Suzuki was quite different from the current Yamato Nadeshiko-style female lead; after winning the newcomer award and signing for debut, she had been lukewarm for two years.

This time, after getting the news from Tree Friend Film and knowing it was the female lead for Naoki Nagayama's new work, the manager from HoriPro sent her to Tree Friend the first time he got the news.

Turning his head to look at Ito Shuichi Yin Tang, Masataka Komori, and Masami Inada, they were all observing this candidate seriously.

They wanted to see if she was the kind who walked out of a manga...

However, Honami Suzuki, who was a bit restrained now, could only be seen as a beautiful actress, with a slightly long face carrying a trace of heroism, quite characteristic but not yet to the extent of walking out of a manga.

"Then... Miss Suzuki, please try to perform this scene..."

Naoki Nagayama picked out the plot of the first scene from the script, which was the scene of Rika Akana picking up Kanji Nagao at the airport.

He also really wanted to see how Honami Suzuki's acting skills were now; after all, Rika Akana was set as a 26-year-old urban workplace woman, while Honami Suzuki had just turned 20.

"Hai!"

Honami Suzuki was someone who had been polished by the entertainment industry, so she hurriedly adjusted her mood and picked up the script to read.

A few minutes later, Naoki Nagayama cooperated and shouted "action"...

Only seeing Honami Suzuki hold this piece of paper above her head like a sign, shouting in the conference room as if looking for someone:

"Kanji? Kanji Nagao? Kanji?"

Naoki Nagayama gave Masataka Komori a look; he was naturally very familiar with the script and immediately cooperated:

"Hai, I am~"

"Are you Maruko-kun?"

"No, I am Kanji Nagao..."

"If you are here, answer immediately!" Honami Suzuki, who was playing Rika Akana now, said, "I am Rika Akana from the Business Department..."

Even when speaking, her face was still hung with a bright smile, her eyes narrowed like the moon, and the strong infectious power made the entire conference room feel happy.

Sure enough, when Honami Suzuki smiled, she could make everyone feel full of vitality!

And the small expression of half-coquettish and half-complaining hit the hearts of all the judges!

"Is this all the luggage?"

"Hmm..."

"Then let's go quickly, we still have to go to the warehouse to move goods! Follow me!"

After saying the lines, Honami Suzuki revealed a slightly uneasy expression, looking at the two great directors, Naoki Nagayama and Ito Shuichi Yin Tang.

"Well..." Ito Shuichi Yin Tang also had to admit, "The smile is indeed very infectious... if you see it for the first time, you will definitely be impressed~"

Masataka Komori also expressed recognition:

"The line skills and expressions are also quite good..."

Naoki Nagayama was originally very approving of Honami Suzuki, but now seeing her, he felt there was a gap with the image in the TV series later.

"The most important trait is no problem..." Naoki Nagayama commented on the girl's performance, "However, Honami-chan, you need to change the makeup and styling, it needs to be slightly more mature... Rika Akana is a mature workplace woman..."

Honami Suzuki's current styling was completely that of a young girl, a bit too young.

"Also... Honami-chan, have you watched 'Tokyo Love Story'?"

"This... not yet..."

After struggling for a moment, Honami Suzuki answered honestly, making the manager Morimichi Tokunaga next to her wink anxiously... As an artist, how could she be so straightforward, what was wrong with saying she had watched it?!

"Ha, like that..."

Naoki Nagayama didn't think all girls were his book fans, so he stood up and handed the novel he had placed with the script over:

"However, to perform this female lead role well, you still need to read this novel a few more times!"

"???"

Honami Suzuki opened her eyes wide,

"Nagayama-san, what do you mean?"

"Ah... yes, Honami-chan, you have been selected!" Naoki Nagayama reached out his hand, "I hope we can cooperate well later!"

"!!!"

Honami Suzuki felt her head buzzing... completely relying on instinct to shake hands.

She was pulled over by her manager early in the morning, only found out halfway that she was auditioning for Tree Friend's new TV series, and only ten minutes ago did she know the role she was auditioning for...

And then you tell me, I have been selected?!

I am actually going to participate in the filming of Naoki Nagayama's new drama?!!

This... I haven't even brushed my teeth this morning!

After the simple audition, Masami Inada sent Morimichi Tokunaga and Honami Suzuki out.

Subsequent signing and scheduling and the like didn't need Naoki Nagayama to handle personally... He was chatting with Ito Shuichi Yin Tang and Masataka Komori in the conference room.

"Didn't expect it to be so smooth!" Ito Shuichi Yin Tang sighed, "Sure enough, she is someone who walked out of a manga!"

"Haha, some people can be determined at a glance!" Naoki Nagayama said, "There is one more thing, I also found the singer for the theme song yesterday..."

Ito Shuichi Yin Tang was a bit surprised:

"This is a good thing coming together~ Nagayama-san, when are you planning to start filming?"

"Early March~" Naoki Nagayama thought for a while, "After all, the sets and everything haven't been prepared yet..."

"Early March then..."

Ito Shuichi Yin Tang nodded and didn't say anything; after all, this all depended on Naoki Nagayama's will.

The snow in Tokyo fell intermittently for a long time, and when the re-screening of 'Love Letter' became more intense, 'Hayato's Legend' finally had to be taken off the shelves.

Nearly two months of screening brought a total of over 4 billion in box office to Tree Friend Film, making the Japanese film industry start to roll from the beginning of the year.

Many other film production companies were considering whether to wait a year to release them, otherwise, the films released this year would all have to survive in the shadow of 'Hayato's Legend'...

After all, the first film of the New Year had raised the threshold of the audience so much that the advantages of subsequent films would not be obvious, but the disadvantages would be infinitely magnified.

The audience would subconsciously compare them with 'Hayato's Legend' in their hearts... which was equivalent to increasing the intensity for all subsequent gangster, action, drama, and character biography films!

Of course, films in different tracks like romance films and animated films would be a bit better~

However, it was hard to say; who knew what type Tree Friend Film's next film would be!

The entire industry was observing Tree Friend Film's next move.

And the script for 'Tiger of Ginza' was completed under such circumstances!

"Nagayama-san..."

Muneo Matsuo and Tomoyuki Nishimoto sent the first draft of the script to Naoki Nagayama for review with great expectations,

"This is the first draft of the script for 'Tiger of Ginza'..."

"Oh? It's already done!" Naoki Nagayama took the script and praised them for two sentences, "It looks like Muneo-kun and Tomoyuki-kun have been very diligent these days!"

Muneo Matsuo and Tomoyuki Nishimoto had now joined the script creation center; as directors, they also had to participate in script creation.

"Where, where... this is also a rare opportunity for us~"

Muneo Matsuo said modestly,

"If I hadn't started this script from scratch, I might not have discovered that my connection of plots and editing of pictures were still very weak!"

"Yes, script creation is very helpful for our future director work." Tomoyuki Nishimoto also added.

"Hahaha, as long as there is a harvest..."

Naoki Nagayama encouraged them, and then started flipping through the script of 'Tiger of Ginza'.

The background of this film was the stock market boom, showing the debauchery and extravagant indulgence of the wealthy in the financial world, embodying the life scenes under money worship, and then leading to the collapse of everything at the end, giving people inspiration...

The plot combined 'The Wolf of Wall Street' and parts of Naoki Nagayama's own experiences...

Flipping through the script page by page, the rustling sound of paper made the office seem even quieter. The two new directors nervously watched Naoki Nagayama's expression, their breathing reduced to a minimum.

Slowly, they found that the smile on Naoki Nagayama's face faded...

The earning, investment, and plot control in the front were very good, making Naoki Nagayama look like he was reading a refreshing novel, and it was very immersive...

However, when it came to the debauchery, spending money like water, and indulgent enjoyment after making a fortune, it felt like the power was insufficient.

"This... so after making tens of billions in the stock market..."

Naoki Nagayama raised his head, looking at Muneo Matsuo and Tomoyuki Nishimoto, feeling a bit helpless,

"Your celebration is to book the entire club? Book the young ladies? Free for everyone?"

"???" Muneo Matsuo and Tomoyuki Nishimoto looked at each other, "Is there anything wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong with that..."

Naoki Nagayama shook his head; parties had to be held, young ladies had to be called... Muneo Matsuo and Tomoyuki Nishimoto were just a bit small-minded,

"That kind of celebration doesn't count as debauchery..."

In his mind, he couldn't help but recall the luxurious scenes in 'The Great Gatsby', 'Babylon', etc., as well as the yacht parties, private clubs, and sea-sky feasts he had seen...

Food, wine, beauties, and music were only the surface phenomena; what was truly hidden underneath were contraband, multi-person, bloody, and stimulating...

Even if he didn't play much, he had booked the venue to invite good friends to dance in his own disco... dancing wantonly under the psychedelic lights, explosive music, and stimulation of alcohol...

He shook his head, looking at the two young people opposite, feeling that this really couldn't blame them!

He had the heart to share with them, but finally said:

"Forget it... if you haven't experienced it, you can't write it!"

"..."

Muneo Matsuo and Tomoyuki Nishimoto felt inexplicable contempt, but they couldn't refute it at all...

Naoki Nagayama quickly finished flipping through the script and said to the two:

"There's no big problem with other aspects, but in terms of showing the chaos of extreme extravagance, you two... can only be considered kindergarten level..."

"... Nagayama-san..."

Looking at the pitiful eyes of the two, Naoki Nagayama couldn't say the reprimanding words.

After all, it was he, Naoki Nagayama, who paid their wages, and he was the clearest about why these two people couldn't experience a debauched life!

After thinking slightly, Naoki Nagayama said:

"It seems I have to let you see it... to improve the script..."

He picked up the phone on the desk and dialed the phone of his cousin, Kaede Nagayama. After a few rings, the phone was answered:

"Moshi Moshi Moshi Moshi, this is Melody KTV..."

"Kaede-san... it's me~"

"Naoki?" Kaede Nagayama on the phone was a bit surprised, "Why did you suddenly call me? And from a strange number?"

"This is my office phone..."

Naoki Nagayama explained slightly, and then asked,

"Kaede-san, do you still go out to play often?... I mean, go to those parties of super rich second generations?!"

"Uh... occasionally~" Kaede Nagayama said vaguely, "After all, I'm doing KTV, and I come into contact with many big clients..."

Actually, Kaede Nagayama had liked going out to play very much since he came to Tokyo, and after he had money and fame from filming 'Crows Zero', he received invitations from many second generations to go to various high-end clubs, dance halls... and participate in their private parties.

Later, operating a large entertainment enterprise like KTV, he came into contact with many players and became a "regular" in the circle.

Although he was about to get married now, he definitely wouldn't give up this kind of thing all at once...

"I want to ask you for a favor~"

Only hearing Kaede Nagayama's tone on the phone was a bit teasing:

"What's wrong? Wife is pregnant, and you're stifled at home? Want to go out and play?

If you, Naoki Nagayama, go, everyone will welcome you!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Naoki Nagayama hurriedly stopped him, "It's serious business!"

"? What?"

"Our company is creating a film, but the screenwriters below have no concept of the debauchery of the upper class, so I want to ask you to let them see it..."

"Oh?!! This~"

Kaede Nagayama's tone was a bit disappointed,

"I thought it was you, Naoki, who wanted to go..."

"Fine, I'm not interested in these..." Naoki Nagayama said righteously, "Can you do me a favor?"

"No problem, no problem... let someone come to find me, it just so happens that I'm going to the yacht feast in Tokyo Bay tonight..."

"Good, please..."

Naoki Nagayama hung up the phone and said to the two who were looking at him:

"You heard it, right? Go find Kaede Nagayama tonight, you know him... I'll write the address for you later..."

"Uh..."

Muneo Matsuo swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said hesitantly,

"Nagayama-san, do you want us to participate in a luxury party?"

"Let you open your eyes!"

"I'm not letting you go to enjoy it, I'm letting you go to experience it!" Naoki Nagayama said, "When participating, you can hold an interview mentality, ask others what more stimulating occasions they have participated in!"

"Actually, activities in Japan can only be considered high-end... truly top-level luxury activities are abroad, generally in places like Hawaii and Manhattan..."

"Those that exceed the specifications are generally on the high seas..."

Naoki Nagayama asked,

"Do you know why?"

"Why?"

"Because there are no legal restrictions..." ===== CHAPTER 992 =====
