Tokyo Bubble Life

 “Naoki-san, what weird idea have you come up with again?”

 Itou Shuichi was teasing Nagayama Naoki in the office. He looked at the preliminary demand list sent by Masamin Inada and marveled at it.

“I went to Hokkaido to shoot the snow scene, and to Fukuoka to shoot the spring scene.” Itou Shuichi turned the page, “I also went to the beach to shoot the idol’s bikini short film.”

 “Hey, it’s winter now, even in Okinawa it’s only 10 degrees! If you wear a bikini, Junko-chan and the others will catch a cold!”

Nagayama Naoki couldn't help but complain: "Is this what Shuichi-san actually cares about~"

Shuichi Itou immediately said some nonsense about caring about the physical and mental health of employees, and then returned to the topic: "Naoki-san, do you want us to return to our old business of making adult magazines?"

Nagayama Naoki did not answer. Instead, he took the plan from Itou Shuichi and said to Yoshimura Otomo: "Otomo-san, is Masamin-kun so efficient? The preliminary plan has already been written out?"

“Yesterday after you left, you asked a lot of questions about me, Masataka-kun, and Riko-chan.” Yoshimura Otomo stopped what he had been busy with, raised his head and said, “I worked overtime to come up with the first draft of this plan.”

 “Ha, what a reliable man!” Naoki Nagayama praised.

Itou Shuichi patted the table beside him: "~Naoki-san, don't ignore me!"

"Haha, Shuichi-san, don't be anxious~" Nagayama Naoki turned his head, "The music video (MV) we are going to shoot this time is all for preparing for KTV after this year. We borrow the short video, add subtitles, and then Coupled with the soundtrack, this will make the guests who come to sing karaoke worth their money~"

Yi Tangxiu nodded and expressed understanding: "However, there are thousands of songs in the entertainment industry, and it is always impossible for us to dub them all into music videos (MVs)!"

"Regarding this, we will shoot a huge amount of material at once this time. Then we can edit the same material over and over again, right?" Naoki Nagayama said nonchalantly, "Anyway, this is the first batch. This year, photography Part of the team’s job is to shoot these short films!”

“Looks like there’s nothing we can do about it. Yosi, our film department will definitely cooperate seriously!”

Itou Shuichi seemed to agree with understanding, but the words that followed suddenly revealed his true purpose.

 “Then what’s the price for straight tree mulberry?”

　　　　???”

Nagayama Naoki was surprised by this familiar rhetorical question, and he blurted out "everything"

“I mean, how should the workload of this MV shooting be calculated? How will the settlement be settled with Shuyou Entertainment at the end of the year?”

 Itou Shuichi explained in more detail.

Yangcun Otomo on the other desk couldn't help it:

“I said Xiu Yi-san, we haven’t separated yet! Are you actually starting to think about settlement with other branches now?! Do you want to be so open-minded?!”

 “Isn’t it going to be announced soon~”

 Itou Xiuyi didn’t care.

“According to the previously discussed plan, the accounts between Shuyou Pictures and Shuyou Entertainment will have to be settled clearly between brothers in the future. I respect the company’s rules and regulations.”

“You guy! We are still working in the same office!!” Fangcun Dayou laughed angrily.

"Huh? There is an old Chinese saying that 'I am in Cao's camp and my heart is in Han'. Although we are physically sitting in the same room, our hearts are already separated!" Itou Xiuyi looked a little proud, as if some important restraint had been broken. Removed, "Otomo-san, you are now a member of Shuyou Entertainment!"

Nagayama Naoki patted his forehead: "Shuichi-san, this is not how you use this sentence."

However, after Fangcun Otomo took a few breaths, he suddenly figured out something:

“Xiu Yisang, don’t forget, I only serve as the president of Shuyou Entertainment, but I am also the head of Shuyou Group!”

“You, the mere director of the film department of Shuyou Group, are still within my jurisdiction!!”

“Hey Dayou-san, I am the person in charge of the most profitable department of Shuyou Group. Haven’t you ever heard of what is called ‘higher merits than master’?!”

“.” Naoki Nagayama wiped his hand from his forehead to his chin, “Shuichi-san. This is not how this idiom is used.”

Seeing that the two of them were going to continue bickering, Nagayama Naoki quickly stopped:

“Okay, okay, the workload will be settled according to the photography production costs on the market. Shuyou Entertainment is Party A, and Shuyou Pictures is Party B.”

Then Fangcun Dayou snorted: "Did you hear that? Xiu Yisang, I am Party A! Call daddy to listen."

 “It’s OK!”

 An all-out martial arts battle was about to break out in the office. At this moment, the office door was knocked open!

Hayano Riko opened the door and saw Itou Shuichi grabbing Yoshimura Otomo's shoulder. Yoshimura Otomo held down Itou Shuichi's hand with one hand, and the other hand took advantage of him and grabbed his belt.

On the other hand, Nagayama Naoki was holding Itou Shuichi's other hand and pushing him forward. He didn't know whether he was trying to make a fight or trying to make a fight.

This exciting scene caused Hayano Riko's brain to receive too much information for a moment. After being stunned for a moment, she quickly said "Private Marseille" and then silently exited, closing the door of the office.

 “Cough cough cough~”

The three childlike guys in the office stopped in embarrassment. Naoki Nagayama scolded him in a low voice: "We are all presidents, so we don't know how to pay attention to our behavior!"

 “Xiu Yisang, pull up your belt!”

Itou Shuichi adjusted his clothes: "How can you repair it? Pull the belt, it is only used by children in fighting. Otomo-san, you are so despicable!"

 “Hmph, this is called a war that never tires of deceit!”

  .This idiom is not used in this way either.”

Is this an idiom for learning Chinese today? Why are you two talking in Chinese? !

Nagayama Naoki didn’t know that he often showed off some Chinese in the office. In addition, there was a recent "Newspeak Buzzword Award" program, so the other two people in the office were curious to learn more about it.

 After the three people adjusted their expressions, Nagayama Naoki said: "Ahem. Riko-chan, come in!"

"Hi" The door of the office opened, and Riko Hayano was waiting outside the door. "Naoki-san, Otomo-san, Shuichi-san, and Arnold, everyone is here."

"Ah, okay, we know, we will go out soon." Yoshimura Otomo nodded, "Riko-chan, please post the announcement so that everyone can have it."

Today is the day Shuyou Group officially notifies employees of the company’s structural adjustment. Although everyone has been more or less aware of the situation before, this formal notification and subsequent communication still need to be carried out.

It can be regarded as a big event for tree friends, so Yoshimura Otomo and Itou Shuichi were also a little excited. Normally, they can still maintain the attitude they should have as superiors.

Itou Shuichi arranged the formal suit and smoothed out the wrinkles. Otomo-san also combed the corners of the Mediterranean suit, and the three of them walked out of the office together.

  The original shooting hall of the studio is now used as a temporary exhibition hall, and all the staff of the studio are already sitting in neat seats.

　　Including idol artists such as Junko Ito, Yuki Saito, Chiko Aoyama, and the three Maoyan sisters, as well as personnel who are often stationed abroad, such as Kokoro Onodera and Tetsuya Komuro, as well as Tokihiko Sugiyama of Kadokawa.

Xing Jiahua at the front desk made a guest appearance as the host, arranging the process of the lecture. After a series of words of thanks to everyone for taking the time to come and the topic of today’s lecture

“Next, we invite Naoki Nagayama, the president of Shuyou Group, to give a speech to everyone.”

Nagayama Naoki stood on the podium, had someone use a projector to project the company structure diagram up, and then tapped the microphone:

“Ahem, sound check, okay, there’s nothing wrong with the microphone.”

 People in the audience laughed.

After Naoki Nagayama watched the place heat up, he started:

“Mina-san, I hate those bosses who go on stage and say, ‘I’ll say a few words,’ and then talk for two hours.”

 “Hahaha~” Someone in the audience already laughed.

Nagayama Naoki had a smile on his face: “So, I tried to simplify some of the speech content.”

“Due to the rapid development of the company, the original structure of the start-up company with Shuyou Pictures as the main body no longer meets the future business needs. Therefore, after discussion, Shuyou’s management decided to reorganize and upgrade the company’s structure to facilitate future development.”

“Look at this structure diagram, we will establish Shuyou Co., Ltd., set up a management headquarters, and coordinate the business of our subordinate Shuyou Pictures and Shuyou Entertainment.”

“Everyone here will also be divided into different departments according to their business attributes.”

“Shuyou Pictures will also undertake filming work in addition to its own film business.”

“In addition to the agency’s brokerage business, Shuyou Entertainment will also be in charge of its labels, discos, and future nightclub businesses.”

“Don’t worry, everyone is still an employee of Shuyou, but from now on we can just call it Shuyou Group”

Nagayama Naoki’s speech was direct and concise. He only divided the form according to the architecture diagram. He also paid great attention to his opening speech. The whole process only took about 15 minutes.

 Next, Shuichi Itou will take the stage and announce the appointments of each business module:

"The president and president of Shuyou Co., Ltd. is Naoki Nagayama! The head of the management department of Shuyou Group is Otomo Yoshimura. He is also the director of the entertainment business department and the president of Shuyou Entertainment. Shuyou Group Pictures The head of the department is headed by Shuichi Itou, who is also the president of Shuyu Pictures."

“The chief of the Headquarters Section of the Management Headquarters is Riko Hayano, and the chief of the Finance Section is Mitsurei Kitamura.”

“Shuyou Pictures’ film production section chief is Masataka Komori, and distribution section chief is Sugiyama Tomohiko.”

“The chief of the Shuyou Entertainment Brokerage Business Section is Masami Inada, who also serves as the sales director of GG Office.”

“The chief of the Shuyou Entertainment Nightclub Business Section is Shigechi Araki, who also serves as the manager of the disco.”

 The relatively complicated appointment is a little confusing. Someone has one position in the group company, and another position in the branch.

When Itou Shuichi announced the appointment, the relevant personnel would stand up and bow to let everyone know each other.

But this is the normal development of a large company. Maybe he is just an ordinary supervisor in the head office, but in the branch company he is a deputy general manager or something like that.

 When he finished speaking, Yoshimura Otomo, the head of the department, finally came on stage.

In the meantime, he asked someone to project the manuscript on the big screen, and then grinned: "Company reorganization, related matters and business may be chaotic, but it doesn't matter, everyone is still doing the same thing. Regarding the structure, everyone is responsible for it." Later superiors will carry out the propaganda and implementation."

“As for me today, I’ll just say a few words about Shuyou Group’s business direction in the coming year.”

 The employees in the audience suddenly grimaced.

 Sure enough! A boss who likes to "say a few words" will usually talk for an hour or two!

Fangcun Dayou started from the management headquarters and described the business direction of Shuyou Filming this year, the business direction of Shuyou Entertainment, the KTV business to be explored, etc.

  an hour and a half later

“If you still have any questions, please feel free to discuss them with me or your superior.”

Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Itou both sat stiffly on one side, listening to Yoshimura Otomo talking on the stage. The way he was giving guidance made both of them couldn't help but applaud. The speech was finally finished!

 The applause from the audience continued. Everyone finally waited for the final moment, with tears in their eyes.

"How's it going? I'm doing okay, right?" Fangcun Otomo drank more than half a glass of ice water when he arrived at the office and breathed a sigh of relief. "Looking at everyone's reaction, they are also very enthusiastic."

“Haha, Otomo-san can become a politician, with this kind of preaching skills.” Naoki Nagayama admired sincerely, “Everyone was touched~”

Itou Shuichi also said beside him: "Yes, yes, this is not something ordinary people can do."

“Hahaha~” Yoshimura Otomo said with a smile, “It seems like I should preach more~”

  “Please be sure not to do so!” X2

The three people chatted in the office for a while, and then the door was knocked again: "Zhi Shusang, Xiu Yisang, everyone is here~"

Following Hayano Riko’s words, a group of people poured into the office, all of them female idols.

 "Naoki-san, Shuichi-san, Otomo-san!" X6

“Mina-san called everyone here for two reasons.”

 Having just gone through a two-hour meeting, Naoki Nagayama didn’t say much.

“The first thing is about shooting music short films. In the next one to two months, we will ask everyone to help shoot a series of short films. Most of them are about daily life, playfulness, and some special scenes.”

“These are related to the needs of new business. In the future, the specific shooting process will be broadcast in nightclubs and will be arranged by the office. I will inform you in advance today.”

  “Hi!” X6

 As an artist in the office, no one will naturally have any objections, and objections are useless. Not to mention this is obviously a good thing that will increase exposure.

 “The second thing. Let Xiu Yisang tell you.”

"Ah, let me tell you!" Itou Shuichi quickly added, "Actually, the second thing is about the first movie that Shuyou Pictures will shoot this year."

"The name of the new movie is "Love Stops Like the Rain." It is a movie about a high school student falling in love with a middle-aged uncle. The heroine is a 17-year-old high school girl who is good at running." Shuichi Itou will play the role He introduced it to the six idols in front of him, "We are thinking of doing an internal casting first. If you are interested, you can try out one of the roles. Come audition next week~"

As soon as these words came out, several idols in front of them became interested. After all, being able to participate in the filming of a movie is a rare opportunity for female idols.

After a few more introductions, Yoshimura Otomo couldn’t help but ask as he watched several idols walk out of the office:

“Shuichi-san, can’t you just appoint the female lead? Why do you still need to do such things as auditions?”

Nagayama Naoki smiled and said: "Ha, Otomo-san, have you forgotten? This movie is based on Shuichi-san's first love story, and the female lead is the image of his first love~"

“Wouldn’t it be better to choose Xiu Yi-san’s first love? Just choose the one that you think is closest to you?” Fangcun Oitomo was still puzzled.

“But. I have almost forgotten the face of my first love.” Itou Shuichi’s old face turned a little red. “When I was shooting for adult magazines in those years, I experienced too many beautiful faces. I can no longer distinguish them~”

"Shuichi-san." Fangcun Oitomo showed contempt, "You scumbag and a beast must die!"

Itou Shuichi slapped the table angrily: "Otomo-san, do you still remember your first love? Where are you, Naoki-san?!"

"I"

Yoshimura Otomo wanted to retort confidently, but when he thought about it, after more than thirty years, his own self has indeed become blurred!

 So I could only be stubborn: "I'm almost half buried in the earth. Isn't it normal that I can't remember?! What do you think? Naoki-san?"

Nagayama Naoki smiled and said: "Haha, I don't know what's going on with you, but my first love is the only one I have now. I remember it firmly!"

"You?!" Itou Shuichi rolled his eyes, "It's still my first love? Who believes it? Otomo-san, do you believe it?"

"I do not believe!"

 “I don’t believe it either! Can you believe what Huaxin Naoshu says?”

"cannot!"

Seeing that the two people actually started to talk about things, Shuichi Itou became more and more enthusiastic, and Naoki Nagayama could only threaten:

“Shuichi-san, I have the contact information of Kawei-san and Kayi-chan! You don’t want them to know that this movie is based on your first love story, right?!”

Itou Xiu moved his mouth slightly, but in the end he did not dare to continue arranging Nagayama Naoki.

“You threaten your wife and daughter, Zhishu Sang, you are really despicable!”

 Hahaha, this is what it feels like to have your weak points picked on. Xiu Yisang, just be obedient!

Yoshimura Otomo next to him suddenly said: "Naoki-san, wasn't your first love Yamaguchi Momoe? Nor was it Nakamori Akina-san!"

ˆ “.”

“Nakamori Akina-san, does she also know that you remember Yamaguchi Momoe-san well??” Yoshimura Otomo’s tone also deepened, “Naoki-san, you don’t want her to know this either, right?!”

 “.Otomo-san, you are so despicable!”
