Tokyo Bubble Life

  Chapter 314 313, Naoki Naoyama: Am I alone?

  The rainy day before yesterday has ended, and Tokyo has returned to sunny and cold weather.

   But the sun came out again. In the courtyard of Yamazakura-in, Naoki Naoyama enjoyed the warmth of the sun shining on his body.

  The weather is fine, but Naoki Nagayama did not go to shoot "Boys Over Flowers", and he doesn't have to go tomorrow,

  Because, the college entrance examination!

  In Japan, it is called the Central Examination (センター考験), which is an examination that all high school students applying for public universities must take. Some private universities will also pass the central examination for selection.

  Japan's Seikei University in Tokyo was selected as one of the examination rooms, so I can't go to shoot for the past two days.

"I don't know if Tsuruko is taking an exam right now~" Naoki Naoyama sat on the cushion in the corridor, stroking Yutaro's head with his hands, "But we can't help, right? Taro?"

  However, shortly after the central exam, Tsuruko will come to Tokyo for several university entrance exams, and will live in Yamazakura-in at that time.

   Didn’t understand the big dog what the owner said, just opened his mouth and slapped him. The warm sunshine really made the dog want to sleep.

  But people who want to be idle generally can’t be idle. Near noon, Naoki Naoyama was called to the studio by a call from Shuichi Itou.

  When I arrived, I found that Yoshimura Otomo and Inada Masami were also in the office together.

   "What's the matter, Xiu Yi-san, don't let people rest during the rare holidays?"

   Naoki Naoyama complained directly to Shuichi Ido, because this guy didn’t say anything on the phone except “Come to the studio~”.

  And Osamu Yitang didn't feel embarrassed at all, but said: "Anyway, there is nothing wrong with Naoki-san at home, right?"

   "Who said that, I have a lot of things to be busy!" Of course, I can't say that I am free at this time.

   "Oh? What are you up to?"

  Yongshan Naoki did not expect this guy to ask directly: "Experiencing life, finding inspiration, etc., and creative matters, I can't understand it even if I talk to Xiuichi-san."

  Then immediately changed the subject: "Anyway, what's the matter with calling me over?"

  Masami Inata, who has never talked much, replied from the side: "Naoki-san, this time because the script of "The Three Sisters with Cat's Eyes" has been completed, so I want to let everyone have a look."

  I see, after buying the copyright of this comic, I entrusted a professional screenwriter to create the script, and it has now been completed.

   And Otomo Fangcun also said: "Let's discuss which script our company will mainly shoot next."

You are right, the filming of "Boys Over Flowers" is going well, and it is estimated that the filming will be almost completed by the end of February. A good film and television production company should have a perfect connection between the projects in hand, and the next one can indeed be seen. .

   Naoki Naoyama took over the script and said by the way: "Have you read both Shuichi-san and Otomo-san?"

   "Watching" Yi Tangxiu flipped through the script without raising his head.

   ""Midnight Ring", "Hot-Blooded High School", "Maoyan Three Sisters", among these three, which one does Xiu Yisang think is better?"

  Naoki Yongshan looked at the manuscript in his hand and flipped through it absent-mindedly. To be honest, Naoki Yongshan hadn’t watched this TV series carefully, but when he was young and frivolous, he only cared about a few heroines, so he didn’t care about the plot.

   "If you want to say which one you want to make first, of course it is "Hot-Blooded High School"." Internal discussion, Shuichi Ido did not mean to hide his thoughts, "After all, it is a movie script that I participated in the creation of."

   "But considering the market, the second half of the year is better."

   Naoki Naoyama raised his eyes: "Market?"

   "Every year, the audience likes different things. But in the second half of the year, the general audience's preferences can be roughly distinguished, and we will know whether a rebellious movie like "Hot Blood High School" will be popular."

  Shuichi Ido said clearly, as if pretending to be X, "As a director, is Naoki-san so insensitive to the market? The genre of making a movie depends on the preferences of the audience."

   "Ah, I haven't paid much attention to this point." Naoki Naoyama was a little strange, "Usually what is filmed, and then the audience likes it."

Since the filming of "The Tale of Hachiko", the Japanese film industry has been very concerned about animal-related films. It is said that there are already several films with animal protagonists that will be released this year. "That Summer, the Tranquil Sea" was shot It's relatively late, but this year there should be a lot of little people's loves that have started to be produced.

   Shuichi Ido feels that he is in his professional field, and Naoki Nagayama has installed him.

  Dayou Fangcun didn't feel much: "I think "Midnight Ring" can be released around the end of the year. For general horror movies, it's better to be on related festivals, such as Halloween."

   "Well, it's the same as the original Ghost Story."

  In this way, the script for the first half of the year is "Maoyan Three Sisters".

Naoki Yongshan roughly flipped through the script. With reference to the plot of the manga, the whole script is quite satisfactory. Unlike other film and television productions where screenwriters occupy a lot of weight, this script is a commissioned creation, which is more important than not being brilliant and not making mistakes. .

   "Then it's decided?" Naoki Naoyama put down the script, "First, "The Three Sisters of Cat's Eyes", then "Hot-Blooded High School", and finally "Midnight Ring"?"

  Ido Shuichi also has no opinion: "That's it~"

  Shuyou Yinghua's work direction for the whole year was decided in this small office, in a few words of chat among three people!

  Fangcun Otomo said to Inada Masami: "Ya Ming-kun, please list the characters according to the script. The leading role of the three Maoyan sisters has been confirmed. For other characters, you still need to contact other agencies. I will leave this matter to you!"

   "Hi, I'll do it right away." After bowing, Masami Inada backed out.

  Contact the office, it seems that Otomo Yoshimura is relying more and more on Masami Inada~

   After confirming, Yoshimura Otomo and Ido Shuichi both started to process documents on their desks, while Naoki Naoyama suddenly became idle.

  Seeing that both of you are busy now, I look very idle, I am not used to it.

  If I leave now, I’ve only been here for a few minutes

  I didn't even take a sip of tea.

   Drink more now! Naoki Yongshan picked up the teacup and drank it in a big gulp: "Gudong. Ah~"

   "Naoki-san, what's the matter without you here!" Hearing Naoki Yongshan's voice, Shuichi Yitang waved his hands in distaste, "You can go back~"

   "That's the only thing you asked yourself to come here?" Naoki Yongshan was speechless, "It can be clearly explained on the phone!"

  Otomo Fangcun smiled: "At first we thought it would take a long time to discuss things like time, sequence, and plot, but we didn't expect that the actual decision-making would only take a few minutes. As for other details, let the people under you do it."

  This sentence is very capitalist! Fangcun Dayu already has the mindset of becoming a capitalist.

Speaking of which, Naoki Nagayama is the only one who is really free. Otomo Yoshimura is dealing with the daily complicated affairs of Shuyou's filming, and Shuichi Itou is also handling the beginning and end of several film projects. The two of them are also dealing with "details". people.

  Looking at it this way, Naoki Naoyama is the real capitalist!

  Itō Osamu asked rhetorically, "How about Naoki-san to help with the next filming process of "Boys Over Flowers"?"

  Otomo Yoshimura also spoke from the sidelines: "I also have a contact list for Ki-chan's debut, and Junko-chan's initial publicity plan. By the way, there is also Yutaka Ozaki's."

   "Eh, let me drink some more tea~"

   Naoki Naoyama, who was kicked out by the two people in the office because they were disgusted by the loud tea drinking, walked slowly to the financial room, and found Momoki Kakuda: "Momoki-san, did you have any problems with the funds you prepared last time?"

  Momoki Kakuda quickly replied: "Hey, 2 billion is ready to be used at any time."

   "In a few days, the money may be transferred to an account of an offshore investment company, Tao Xisang, and some of the financial work of that offshore company will also be transferred to you~"

  Momoki Kadoda also works part-time to handle her own personal finances, so some financial work of the offshore company will also be handed over to her.

   "Hi, I see!"

   Naoki Naoyama’s investment in US stocks should be done as soon as possible.

   After finally getting out, Naoki Naoyama naturally didn't want to go back so early, so the car changed direction and drove to Sanmaiju on Ginza Street.

   I was disgusted by drinking tea in the studio just now, so I want to go to my own teahouse to drink some good tea to make up for it.

   "Qianxia-san, good morning~" The person at the front desk of Sanmai House is actually Sakakibara Qianxia, ​​still wearing a kimono in the cold weather, but usually Katsuo Yasui should be at the front desk, "Isn't Katsuo-san here?"

   "Naoki-san~" Chinatsu Sakakibara said hello first, "Katsuo-san went to get some tea."

   "Huh? Has the previous tea been used up?" Naoki Naoyama was a little surprised. He thought that the tea stored before could be used until the new tea came out this year.

   "Hi, the business has been very good recently, and there are a lot of people who come to spend."

   Chinatsu Sakakihara led Naoki Nagayama to the second floor. Generally speaking, there would be a booth reserved for him at the best positions on the second floor, and it was announced to the public that it was reserved.

   Along the way, Naoki Yongshan saw that 60% of the booths in the teahouse already had customers, and it seemed that the business was really good.

   "I didn't expect the business to be so good." I originally wanted to open a teahouse thinking that I would not lose money, but maybe there is a possibility of making a profit?

"Hey, when the weather is cold, many people who are tired of shopping in Ginza will choose to drink a cup of hot tea on the first floor." Sakakibara Qianxia led the person to the booth in front of the window on the second floor, and quickly served the top tea. Yulu, "There are also some white-collar workers nearby who also like to sit on the second floor at noon or afternoon to talk about things or take a rest."

   "Naoki-san, many people like our clear water tea, and I met many customers who directly bought some to drink at home."

   "Ha, really?" Naoki Yongshan smiled, "It seems that the people from Qingshui Tea Garden didn't lie to me. He said that the tea from the tea garden has won awards."

   Chinatsu Sakakihara served some refreshments and then went downstairs. If there was one less person, she would be a little busy.

   Sip tea, take a small sip of the bubbled Yulu, feel the warm heat flow from throat to stomach, and the refreshing tea fragrance in the mouth and nose,

   Looking out of the window at the crowds coming and going on Ginza Street, Naoki Naoyama just felt like he was in another world.

   Slowly enjoying this tranquility and peace, it seems that even the time has been forgotten.

  It was already evening when we returned to Yamazakura-in.

   It's rare to have a rest, such a lazy person naturally doesn't want to cook, so Yongshan directly packed dinner at a nearby restaurant he often goes to.

   I don’t know what’s going on, but since I got Yamazakin, I still like to eat at my own home.

  Of course, Ying Taro also played a lot of roles, after all, who can refuse a dog who always warmly welcomes you home~

  After finishing dinner, Naoki Yongshan still called home when he thought that today was the time when Tsuruko finished the exam.

   "Moshi Moshi, this is Yongshan's house." The voice of mother Nanako was on the other side of the microphone.

   "Ogasang, it's me."

  "Naoki~" The tone on the other side of the microphone became cheerful. My second son may have become wild in Tokyo. Generally speaking, there are only one or two calls a month, and he has already called a few days ago.

   "Hezi took the exam today, right? How are you doing now?" Naoki Naoyama asked directly what he was most concerned about.

   "Ah, Tsuruko~ It seems that there is no change, it is the same as usual, and I am still reviewing." Mother Nanako seemed a little puzzled, "But we dare not ask now."

   "Well, it's a good thing to be the same as usual. Only by maintaining a normal mind can you exert your best strength!" Many teachers will teach students to be normal, and the most important thing is to perform stably in the exam.

   However, her mother Nanako chuckled on the phone: "Haha, it sounds like Naoki is very good at taking exams."

   "Hmmm" Naoki Naoyama couldn't explain, "Can you still see a pig run if you haven't eaten pork?"

  In this life, I am indeed a scumbag, but in my previous life, I was a small-town problem solver. If an orphan can get into a university by himself, that’s purely for me!

  The mother on the other side of the microphone relaxed a lot: "Do you want to call Hezi over?"

   "It's better not to, it's good to know she's fine~" At this time, it's better not to add pressure to the candidates, "By the way, Ogasang, did Hezi say that he will take the entrance exam in the future?"

   "It's not decided yet, I guess it depends on the results of this test." The mother said from the other end, "But didn't I tell you before that I would take the University of Tokyo?"

   "Didn't you say Waseda University?"

   "Huh?" It seemed that my mother didn't know.

   "Forget it, let Tsuruko decide for himself in the future. At worst, take the exam a few more times and choose slowly." Naoki Naoyama said so, let Tsuruko live here to prepare for the exam~

   After chatting about the current situation at home, Naoki Naoyama hung up the phone.

  I can only hope that Crane can perform normally.
