Chapter 1024 Chapter 1033, I have to work overtime even if I have a break! Naoki-san is really working hard!

After the first few episodes of the TV series were edited, Naoki Nagayama gave the crew a rare holiday so that everyone could have a good rest.

He himself also wanted to rest at home and sleep in.

But it only takes two weeks to develop a habit, and the damn biological clock still wakes me up early.

"Good morning Naoki-san~"

Mari Nonaka always gets up earlier than Naoki Nagayama and the others. Every time they go downstairs after washing up, they can see that breakfast is almost ready.

"Mrs. Nonaka, good morning~"

After saying hello, Naoki Nagayama walked into the courtyard, his face bathed in the warm sunshine and breathing in the fresh air. He felt refreshed and full of energy.

After playing with the wagging tail of Yingtaro for a while and petting the lying cat on the porch, I felt that my morning routine was done. Then when I walked into the living room, I saw Akina had come down and was sitting next to the dining table, waving at me.

This should be a happy daily life~

"Is Naoki-san at home all day today?"

While eating breakfast, Akina asked,

"No plans?"

"I think so. I don't have any special plans. I just plan to take a rest." Naoyama Naoki shook his head. "Does Akina have any plans?"

“Draw blueprints, take a walk, watch TV.”

Akina talked about her daily life during pregnancy, and she felt like Nyanko Taro, who seemed a little too lazy.

There were already reports about "Tokyo Love Story" in the morning newspapers. Film and television reporters were full of praise for the TV series, saying that the characters were well chosen, the plot was very tight, and they were looking forward to the subsequent plots.

Akina turned her head and took a look at the report:

"Naoki-san, everyone is optimistic about it~"

“This cost money!”

Naoki Nagayama shook his head. Promotion is very difficult. There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. No matter how good something is, there will be people who don't like it.

If it doesn't cost money, how could the newspapers be full of praise?

"."

Akina stopped talking and quickly stuffed her breakfast into her mouth. She also knew how she became so popular in the past few years.

After breakfast, Akina started taking a walk in the yard, and then went to her design studio. On the one hand, she drew some clothing designs, and on the other hand, she was also making small clothes for the baby.

Naoki Nagayama, on the other hand, went straight into the study after a while of leisure and began to perfect the script of "Across the World" that he had recalled before.

"The important thing is, who will play the role? It's hard to find replacements for Leslie Cheung, Chow Yun-fat, and Cherie Chung in Japan!"

"Are you inviting me to perform?"

I thought I would spend the day leisurely, but I received a call from Xi Rumi in the morning asking for dinner.

So at a Japanese restaurant in Shinjuku, Naoki Nagayama met Sugiura Daiyasu and Nishi Rumi:

"Da Tai-san, Xirumi-san~"

"Naoki-san is here~"

Sugiura Daiyasu smiled and stood up from the tatami to greet him, then pulled him to sit at the small table.

"It's rare to have time today!"

"Yeah, the TV show just happened to be aired, so I'll give everyone a little break."

Naoki Nagayama explained,

"Just then, Nishirumi-san called to arrange a dinner date~"

"Haha, Nishi Rumi has now become Naoki-san's exclusive contact person~" Sugiura Daiyasu joked, "Everyone at the TV station knows about it!"

On the other side, Xi Rumi, who was helping to pour tea, rolled her eyes:

"It's all Dae-san talking nonsense!"

"Ahahaha, we are actually the oldest acquaintances. I remember when I first arrived at Fuji TV, it was Nishirumi-san who led the way~"

"This is fate~"

"."

Originally, there was no particular purpose for this gathering, it was just to reminisce about the past. The three of us chatted without any sense of distance and were very relaxed.

When talking about the broadcast status of "Tokyo Love Story", Sugiura Daita even took out the ratings data from his bag and handed it to Naoki Nagayama to see.

"The first episode of Tokyo Love Story had a viewership rating of 32%, and it is expected to be even higher."

"Ah, 32% is pretty good~"

Naoki Nagayama nodded. This was already the ratings for a popular variety show. When the TV series reaches an important plot, the ratings will definitely be higher. Maybe it will reach about 50%, almost reaching the level of the Red and White Song Contest.

"Shuyou's TV series are now synonymous with high quality."

Xi Rumi interrupted,

"Combined with the previous few TV series, it seems that the prime time is reserved for the whole show."

“Haha, let’s call it the Tree Friends Special from now on,” Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, “We will carry the prime time!”

Xi Rumi also smiled:

"It is indeed thanks to Naoki-san that he has become famous! There is a special name for Naoki-san's TV series, called the "Monthly Nine Drama"

Originally, the prime time slot could be for variety shows, news, or other programs, but since Tree Friends took over the prime time slot, it has almost become a symbol, and it is all TV dramas!

When people think of Fuji TV's 9 o'clock prime time, the first thing that comes to mind is the TV series "Monthly Nine Drama". The name of "Monthly Nine Drama" has been accepted by more and more people.

Just as the three were chatting happily, the door of the private room opened and a fat young man with a smile on his face walked in.

"Naoki-san!"

"Akimoto-san, just ignore me~"

Naoki Nagayama greeted them with a smile. Today was the party organized by Rumi Nishi, nominally under the banner of the last gathering of the production office.

Akimoto Yasushi is going to TBS. Only half of the original office staff are left, and the team is also disbanding.

"How was it? Where did you get to?"

Akimoto Yasushi was not at all restrained and started a conversation right after he sat down.

"What about the ratings of the new TV series?"

Sugiura Daiyasu struck up a conversation and asked the waiter to start serving the dishes. Now that everyone was present, the drinking party officially began.

"Naoki-san's Tokyo Love Story is such a great work!" Akimoto Yasushi complimented with a smile, "The novel is just as wonderful."

"Thank you for the compliment~"

Naoki Nagayama raised his glass to express his gratitude, and then said,

"I heard that Akimoto-san has gone to TBS?"

"Hi," Akimoto Yasushi nodded, "Fuji TV doesn't support my new program, but I think it will definitely cause a sensation!"

Then, he took out the activity plan. "Fighting! People!"

"Naoki-san, come take a look too!"

"Haha~ Then I won't be polite~"

Naoki Nagayama did not refuse. This program was expanded upon the game "Of Course", and he had made some suggestions in the early days.

"Running Man" definitely has the potential to be a big hit as a variety show, but Naoki Nagayama doesn't want to spend too much effort on the variety show, and this kind of live-action outdoor competitive variety show is also very troublesome to shoot, so it's okay to leave it to Yasushi Akimoto.

At the end he could even see the early Neon version of Running Man!

"Hmm~"

Naoki Nagayama was flipping through the plan. He had some exchanges with Yasushi Akimoto before, so he was quite familiar with the games in the plan, and there was no problem with the process.

"Mr. Akimoto, this kind of filming requires a more advanced camera and portable sound equipment. After all, it would be troublesome to carry a camera with a lot of wires to shoot scenes and people in motion."

"In this regard, I will apply to go to the United States to purchase the latest mobile cameras and sports microphones."

Yasushi Akimoto also considered these things, but because the purchase amount was quite large, Fuji TV did not support it.

"Haha, the guests don't necessarily have to be the hottest idols at the moment. The main thing is to be topical and mysterious."

Naoki Nagayama said,

"For example, people like Hiromi Go and Ken Takakura."

"Cough cough~"

Hearing this, Akimoto Yasushi, who had just picked up a piece of sashimi, started coughing:

"Naoki-san! These people's schedules are really hard to deal with. We'll have to wait until the show becomes popular!"

"Haha, it's just a suggestion~"

"By the way, if Naoki-san were to participate..."

"Absolutely impossible!"

".How ruthless~"

The two discussed the program for a while, and then stopped. After all, they were not here for a discussion today.

"Otae-san, Sairumi-san, come and have a drink!"

“Haha, okay~” “One cup is not enough!” “.”

In the afternoon, Naoki Nagayama, who was a little drunk, did not return to Yamazakurain.

Mingcai is pregnant, and for some reason she is sensitive to the smell of alcohol at this stage. He thought he should wait until the smell of alcohol dissipates before going back.

He didn't want to go for tea, so after some thought, Naoki Nagayama actually chose to come to the Shuyou Building!

After all, the office here is spacious and equipped with computers.

"Naoki-san?"

Xing Jiahua at the front desk was very surprised.

"Why are you here today?"

"Come to the editing room and take a look."

Naoki Nagayama couldn't say he was here to sober up.

"They are really hardworking," Xing Jiahua sighed, "It must be Naoki-san who set an example, otherwise Komori-san and Kijima-san wouldn't have come to work overtime today!"

"?"

Naoki Nagayama was a little surprised.

"Are they both here to work overtime?"

"Hi, I went to the editing room this morning."

"."

Naoki Nagayama walked towards the editing room with a puzzled look on his face. Recently, Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyon had been fighting over the filming rights for "Tiger of Ginza". Now the two of them were working overtime together in the editing room? !

Generally speaking, if a child suddenly becomes unusually quiet, he or she is definitely planning something big!

"Are the two of them going to have a fight in the editing room?!"

False competition is to magnify your own advantages, discredit your opponent's disadvantages, and show yourself to your boss that you are the most deserving candidate;

The real competition is to invite your opponent to an alley, beat him half to death, and then tell your boss that you only have one candidate left!

When he walked out of the editing room, Naoki Nagayama lowered his footsteps, put his ear close to the door, and listened quietly to the movements inside. It was completely quiet!

"Ah Bai! They won't fall down together!"

Naoki Nagayama screamed in his heart and pushed the door open!

In the spacious editing room, Masataka Komori and Kyon Kimura were each holding an editing machine, concentrating on editing a reel of film material.

The two were so focused that they didn't even react until Naoki Naoki opened the door for several breaths.

"Naoki-san? Why are you here?!" X2

"Ah," Naoki Nagayama breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the two people who were unharmed, "I just came by to take a look. What are you two doing?"

"Forehead"

Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyon looked at each other, and Komori Masataka explained,

"Kijima and I are competing in editing skills. We made two copies of some of the original footage from Tokyo Love Story and agreed to compete today."

Kijima Kyonya spoke up:

“Because no one was able to decide the winner in other aspects of the competition before, this time we agreed that whoever edits the film better within three hours will get the right to shoot Tiger of Ginza!”

"."

After hearing this extremely childish reason, Naoki Nagayama wiped his face.

"You two. I won't say anything else. If the editing is done, how do you judge the effect of the editing? What if one party disagrees?"

"This"

Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyon looked at each other again, and instantly understood what they were thinking, and then it suddenly dawned on them that the other party would definitely not follow the moral code of martial arts!!!

The two turned their heads at the same time and snorted in their hearts. Humph! It turns out to be a strong enemy! Even his face is so thick!

"Isn't this Naoki-san?!"

Komori Masataka immediately thought of

"Naoki-san can be the judge!"

"I won't do that!"

Naoki Nagayama shook his head, walked over and stabbed the two men on the head.

"Letting you two show your connections and advantages in casting, attracting investment, gathering manpower, etc., is actually all for the purpose of getting the best results!"

"You know, the script of 'Tiger of Ginza' has a lot of big scenes. And as Shuyou Group becomes more and more formal, it is impossible for the company to invest too many resources in one movie!"

The current policy of Shuyou in producing a movie is that although it will invest a sum of money itself, it will also attract more investment from other producers in the market.

Who said they are not Naoki Nagayama or Shuichi Idou? Only they can use the company's money, because it contains their own money, and they are the masters of Shuyou!

Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyon both nodded to express their understanding.

"But Naoki-san, we have already found many investors and many candidates for roles, but we haven't decided the winner yet. Otomo-san, Shuichi-san, and Naoki-san all seem dissatisfied."

Seeing the two people's incomprehension, Naoki Nagayama leaned against the window gently;

“This shows that you have not yet understood the considerations of the company’s management.”

"What we want is not to determine who is better between the two of you, but how to make "Tiger of Ginza" more successful!"

"I can only give you some pointers here. You can take your time to think about it next!"

"."

After saying those pretentious words, Naoki Nagayama walked away in a cool manner, leaving the two guys with confused faces.

In fact, Naoki Nagayama doesn't care who directs the film. If resources are needed, he can naturally provide them. But now that the company is moving in a formal direction, then making a movie should be a concerted effort for everyone to make the movie more successful.

In fact, both people have insufficient resources. Only whoever can realize teamwork can make the film more successful. That person is the one who is wholeheartedly considering the film and can truly take on the role of person in charge.

Rather than a simple director role~

After Naoki Nagayama left, silence remained in the editing room.

After a long while, Kimura spoke:

"Masataka, what Naoki-san means is that we should think about how to make the movie a big hit?"

"Well, it should be about how to make a successful commercial film and make more money at the box office!"

"What should we do?"

"That is, the film has to be good-looking, but the cost has to be controlled, the actors and other inputs have to be cost-effective, and the more publicity the better."

"But the artistry has to be guaranteed, and we need to win awards, right? If we win awards, we will be more popular and well-known."

"Ok!"

".This is something that one person can't do, right?"

"Well, a producer is responsible for the effects, and a director is responsible for the filming."

"Eh? Aren't there just two of us?!"

"."

The two looked at each other again, and Kimura said slowly:

"Why do I feel like we've been tricked by the executives?!"

"."

Komori Masataka didn't know how to reply for a moment.
