Chapter 1048 1057, Why is Naoki-san so restless? !
"Naoki-san, it's been a while since I last met you. I hope everything is going well lately~"
The voice of Akimoto Yasushi came from the microphone, which surprised Nagayama Naoki as he hadn't seen him for a long time.
"Hi, everything is going well," Naoki Nagayama nodded, "I'm staying at home with Akina now, waiting for the due date."
"That's really a blessing. To have your own children."
“There will be a lot of things to worry about in the future.”
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Akimoto Yasushi stated his real purpose:
"Naoki-san, do you know TBS's president, Ogata Kotaro?"
"I don't know Akimoto-san very well. You know I don't really participate in social activities in the circle."
"Well, so Director Ogata has been unable to contact you," Akimoto Yasushi said with a smile, "He asked me to be the middleman and wanted to treat Naoki-san to a meal. Do you have time tomorrow at noon?"
"Invite me to dinner? Why?" Naoki Nagayama was a little curious.
“It’s related to the Tokyo International Film Festival.”
"Is it the broadcasting rights?" Naoki Nagayama immediately responded, "But that has been authorized to Fuji TV."
"Hey, we know that," Akimoto Yasushi continued, "but the director may have other ideas and would like to communicate with Naoki-san. Naoki-san, can you spare some time to meet with Director Ogata?"
"Haha, Akimoto-san was forced to do hard labor!"
"Hehe. Naoki-san and I are the only ones who are familiar with each other at TBS TV station."
Akimoto Yasushi had no choice. He didn't want to ask Naoki Nagayama for help. He secretly regarded Naoki-san as his rival!
"So, Naoki-san, are you free tomorrow?"
Naoki Nagayama thought about it for a while. He happened to be going to Shuyou Capital in Ginza tomorrow, so he nodded:
"Since Akimoto-san has spoken, I will naturally give him face!!"
After hearing this, Akimoto Yasushi felt warm in his heart. It turns out that I am so important in Naoki-san's heart!
"Arigato, Naoki-san!"
"Haha, it's okay! Then let's meet tomorrow at noon."
"Hi!"
Nothing in the night
The next morning, when Naoki Nagayama was about to go out again, Akina was a little resentful:
"You've only been at home for a few days, but you have to go out every day again. Why are you so restless, Naoki-san?"
The words he said sounded like Naoki Nagayama was the kind of man who never came home every day~
".Akina~"
She has a cheerful personality, but when her thin eyebrows are frowned, she looks pitiful. Naoki Nagayama stretched out his hand to his wife's fair face, and pinched it when she was not prepared!
"I was only out for half a day, but how come you made me sound like a scumbag!"
It feels very good, and the originally sad look suddenly becomes funny, and the chubby baby fat makes people feel cute.
“Woo~·~?”
After having her face pinched, Akina's eyes became sharp, and her hands began to circle around Naoki Nagayama's waist, and she was about to use the two-finger Zen!
Naoki Nagayama quickly let go, then kissed her smooth cheek in a comforting manner:
"I'll be back in the afternoon~Good boy~"
"."
It was only a few breaths of ups and downs, and before Akina could react, Naoki Nagayama had already walked out of the entrance.
From the window, she saw the convertible driving out of the gate. The annoyed Akina only saw the dog still wagging its tail, so she could only pinch the dog's cheek in revenge.
"Who told you, Yingtaro, that your master ran away? It's only fair that a son pays for his father's debt, right?"
Facing the early summer sunshine, Naoki Nagayama drove all the way to the bustling Ginza.
It was the morning rush hour, the roads were crowded with cars and the commercial streets were bustling with people. In the past, people usually came here during off-peak hours so there wouldn't be so much congestion. Only now could Naoki Nagayama feel what popularity meant.
After finally arriving at the Shuyou Capital building and taking the elevator to the 12th floor, I discovered that the place had changed. Cameras, reflectors, and radio microphones had occupied the lobby.
"Naoki-san!"
Kanai Juuka at the front desk was still communicating with the staff, but when she saw Naoyama Naoki, she came over.
"The crew is setting up the venue~"
"How are the other employees?"
Naoki Nagayama looked inside and found that the space of Shuyou Capital was divided into two parts, and some employees had already started working.
"We've already notified you before, so everyone knows the venue will be used today."
Kanai Chuxiang led Naoki Nagayama to the office, explaining as they walked.
"Originally, I planned to restructure the company once we had more people, and now is the perfect time."
"Where's Yuan Tai-san?"
"Yuantae-san is in the office." Kanai Juuka paused, "discussing performances with the actors."
Naoki Nagayama slowed down his pace and turned to look at Kanai Tsukaka:
"what?"
"That's what I understand."
Kanai Chuxiang quickened her pace, led Naoki Nagayama to the office, and added:
"By the way, Naoki-san, as instructed before, your office will also be requisitioned today, so some data and other sensitive information have been put away!"
"Oh, okay~"
Naoki Nagayama pushed open the door of Nakai Enta's office and saw Nakai Enta sitting on the sofa inside, talking enthusiastically with the male lead Leslie Cheung and director Kyon Kimura.
Seeing Naoki Nagayama coming, he was even more enthusiastic:
"Naoki-san, you're here! Come on, come on, I was just telling Leslie that our investment banking jobs aren't that high-end!"
"."
Naoki Nagayama was immediately drawn into a conversation about the real life of investment banking.
"No one wears a suit and tie every day. Most people stay up late drinking a cup of black coffee," said Nakai Yuta, as if he was complaining. "I get up early every day and go home late. All I see every day are reports, numbers, and graphs. My hair has become much thinner this year."
Zhang Guorong was somewhat unconvinced:
"But sometimes I see investment bankers from Hong Kong and the United States in first-class cabins. They are all high-end people in the traditional sense, with gold watches, high-end suits, and exquisite hair oil."
"They are going to meet clients to discuss business, so they naturally have to dress themselves up to show their best condition." Nakai Yuanta said, "Normally, we can see it if you go out and take a look now~"
Although suits are standard in Japan, the analysts and trading managers at Shuyou Capital now all have wrinkled shirts, yellow faces, black eye sockets, and wear glasses.
Just think about it, even celebrities who value their image the most usually don’t wear full makeup.
After Nakai Yuta finished speaking, he looked up at the still handsome Nagayama Naoki:
"Naoki-san doesn't count. He's not even an investment bank employee!"
"."
Even if you don't say anything, you will still be affected!
"What do you mean I'm not an investment banker? Even if I'm the president, I'm still a member of Shuyou Capital!"
"Hi hi hi hi"
Nakai Yuta gave a perfunctory rebuttal and then continued to discuss today's filming with Leslie Cheung and Kyon Kimura.
Kijima Kyon smiled:
"Won-tae-san, although it is a little different from the real situation, our film is to capture the image of investment bankers in people's minds, or in other words, to make it more exaggerated and emotional."
“It might be a little noisy when we’re shooting later.”
"It's okay. Naoki-san has already told me that I will cooperate today!"
Naoki Nagayama sat on the sofa and talked about the highlights of today's shooting.
The male protagonist Kazuhiko Horita, played by Leslie Cheung, has already made a lot of money and opened a company in Ginza. His high-profile behavior made the media call him the "Tiger of Ginza"!
As his fame grows, more and more people want to join his company, and the male protagonist Kazuhiko Horita also gives passionate speeches in front of the company's employees.
"Leslie's speech in this scene requires a lot of passion! And it's shot in one take. Do you have the confidence?"
Naoki Nagayama lamented that in the prototype of this movie, "The Wolf of Wall Street", the speech of the male protagonist was truly a classic, and this clip attracted him to watch the entire movie.
Leslie Cheung nodded:
"I've memorized the lines and have practiced them many times. It's very difficult to get through it in one take. I think we can shoot this scene three times a day at most!"
"The first push is strong, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted." Naoki Nagayama nodded, "Everyone understands this principle."
"Yes, full emotions are important."
Leslie Cheung seemed very restrained when he spoke, and even his expression was not very clear. It was obvious that he was storing up energy for this scene.
Naoki Nagayama didn't talk to him much, but said to Kyon Kijima:
"Kishima-kun, I can lend you the office of Shuyou Capital for three days. You need to finish filming the scenes inside the office within three days. Can you do it?"
Shuyou Capital has hundreds of millions of transactions every day during the working day. Three days of interruption is already too much~
If it weren't for the need for realism, I wouldn't have thought of using Shuyou Capital's real office environment.
“Hey, I can definitely do it!”
Kyon Kimura was not worried and said that he would definitely complete the task.
After talking for a while, the entire preparation before shooting was completed. Leslie Cheung and other actors went to put on makeup first, while the director Kyon Kimura began to give orders.
"Extras, get ready and wait for the stage manager's gestures!" "The sound and props master will check again!" "Everyone else, take your positions!"
After a few words, the entire set entered work mode.
Nakai Yuta, who was watching from the side, praised repeatedly:
"Director Kijima is really impressive now."
"Kijima-kun is already a well-known director," Naoki Nagayama agreed, "He will be the one to carry the brunt of Shuyou from now on!"
"Naoki-san sounds like he's retiring~"
Nakai Yuta pulled Naoki Nagayama into the office again and whispered,
"Naoki-san, there's news about the island we talked about last time!"
"? So fast?"
"Yes, it's in the Seto Inland Sea." Nakai Yuta said, "There was a village on an island that had no other choice but to agree to relocate."
"what happened?"
"It seems that the heavy rains after the beginning of summer flooded the village, and the remaining people have no money to repair the old houses."
"."
In short, the people have moved away and it will soon become an uninhabited island and can be bought and sold.
"In the second half of the year, Naoki-san should go and take a look," said Nakai Yuta, "so we can plan what to build in advance."
"How much does it cost?"
"About 16 billion. After all, there was a village before. It's not too expensive."
Nakai Yuanta is no longer sensitive to amounts of hundreds of millions. The price of the island's fixed assets is actually not too expensive, and the unit price is even cheaper than real estate. The real money is spent on subsequent development.
"There are about six or seven old houses that can also be rebuilt."
"Well, let me think about it."
I haven’t really thought seriously about what to build on my island!
At this time, in the studio outside, important scenes had already been filmed. Naoki Nagayama saw that the extras were already looking at Leslie Cheung holding the microphone on the stage, and even some of the actors from Shuyou Capital itself.
"There is nothing praiseworthy about poverty!"
"I've been poor and I've been rich! But if I had to choose again, I would definitely choose to be rich!!"
"At least as a rich man, when I face problems and difficulties...
I will be sitting in a luxury car! Wearing a high-end suit worth millions! Wearing a gold watch worth tens of millions!!!"
When throwing the gold watch to the company's employees, Leslie Cheung's face turned red and he looked a little crazy. Naoki Nagayama thought he had a gentle image, but he didn't expect that such a scene could be so explosive.
"Credit card bills are behind?! Great! Pick up the phone and start dialing!"
"I can't pay the rent and the landlord is going to evict me?! Great! Pick up the phone and start dialing!"
"Your girlfriend thinks you're a wimp?! Great! Pick up the phone and start dialing!"
"I want you to become rich and then solve all the problems!"
"You have only one task today. Pick up the phone and tell the other party the words I taught you. Then I can make you richer than most of the presidents in Japan!!!"
"!!!"
Looking at the extras who were excited by these persuasive words, Naoki Nagayama didn't know for a moment whether they were really affected or just acting.
"Cut!"
Anyway, after Leslie Cheung finished speaking and Kyon yelled "Cut", the whole set was filled with the atmosphere of a big battle.
“Very good, very feel-good!”
Kyon Kimura was the first to applaud, and then everyone on the set also applauded, expressing their appreciation for Leslie Cheung's performance.
"Leslie, it was great the first time! We'll have to reshoot it later, mainly for the other actors' reactions, which still needs to be improved."
"This time, you really make me feel like you are possessed by Naoki-san. No, it's the male protagonist, Kazuhiko Horita!"
After Zhang Guorong calmed down, he waved his hands again and again:
"No, no, it's just that this line is too powerful, it has that kind of aggressiveness of European and American culture."
"Of course, this was written by Naoki-san!" Kyon Kimura praised him generously. Of course, praising the boss should be done in front of the person concerned!
"Naoki-san has given many powerful and meaningful speeches in the past!"
"Then I'd like to ask for your advice."
In the past, in public occasions, Naoki Nagayama had indeed plagiarized many classic lines, and one of his speeches even received continuous applause from the audience.
But now when I think back on it, I just feel embarrassed
Naoki Nagayama was called to Shuyou Capital today, on the one hand to check the progress of the filming of "Tiger of Ginza", and on the other hand to ensure the smoothness of the filming.
As it turned out, the staff of Shuyou Capital got along very well with the crew. Even people like Shinichi Sakaguchi got to experience the joy of being an extra.
When the movie is released in the future, I can take my family to the cinema and look for myself on the screen!
What's more, the boss is the same person, we are all family~
On the first day at Shuyou Capital, the filming of "Tiger of Ginza" went very smoothly. More scenes were to be filmed afterwards, including the celebration after making money, the scene when being summoned by the Financial Bureau, and so on.
Anyway, the crew of "Tiger of Ginza" is here these two days~
When it was almost noon, Naoki Nagayama did not stay to eat the lunch box on the set, but walked out of the office building and headed towards a high-end restaurant in Ginza.
Last night, another friend he didn't expect called him.
Naoki Nagayama still remembers his somewhat flattering tone.
Alas, when the gap between friends becomes bigger and bigger, the friendship begins to become a little different!
