"Is the summer fireworks festival about to begin?"
In his office at the Tree Friends Building, Naoki Nagayama was asking the person on the phone questions.
Do you accept orders for custom fireworks?
Mr. Shigeaki Yamakawa, manager of the MURAYAMA event support company, replied:
"Of course we have all sorts of new styles of fireworks. As long as Naoki-san makes a request, we can definitely fulfill it!"
"Could we make fireworks that display 'Happy Birthday' after they explode?!"
July is Akina's birthday, and Naoki Nagayama wants to give her a surprise.
"This, this, this."
"How could anyone have such a thought?" Yamakawa Shigekō repeated several times like a broken record, finally saying dejectedly,
"Naoki-san, I can't do that!!!"
"Can't do it?"
Naoki Nagayama was somewhat disappointed. He often saw fireworks in movies that would burst into the sky and form a pattern, such as an axe, as the saying goes, "With a single arrow piercing the clouds, a thousand armies come to meet."
"Not only can't I do it, but no fireworks company in all of Japan can!"
Shan Chuansheng immediately began to complain.
"Throughout the history of fireworks, there have only been different colors and sizes. The most common patterns are circles, chrysanthemums, and shooting stars. I have never seen any company that can make fireworks with different patterns!"
"Let alone writing on it, no one will ever be able to make fireworks that can write on them in the future!"
"."
Naoki Nagayama fell silent. In the future, with drones, fireworks of any shape could be created. Even drawing your own portrait in the sky wouldn't be a problem!
However, this era
"Alright," Naoki Nagayama said helplessly, "Then, do you have any special fireworks?"
"Naoki-san, you can have any color you want!"
On this point, Shigeaki Yamakawa answered very firmly.
"it is good"
After explaining his demands to Shigemitsu Yamakawa, Naoki Nagayama hung up the phone and continued to ponder in his office:
"Even though we've been married for a long time, isn't one firework a bit too few? Perhaps we could have another one."
Actually, given Akina's personality, she would be happy with any gift, as she's not particularly fond of expensive jewelry.
Just as Naoki Nagayama was pondering, there was a knock on the office door, and Otomo Yoshimura walked in:
"Naoki-san, let's go to the meeting!"
"Okay~"
Naoki Nagayama then realized that it was already the beginning of the month, and the monthly meeting was about to begin.
In the large conference room on the first floor, the middle and senior management of Shuyou Group gathered together to begin the month-long reporting work.
"Let's start with the film industry, one project at a time."
Shuichi Itō chaired the meeting and gestured for Tomoyuki Nishimoto to speak.
This was Tomoyuki Nishimoto's first time attending a mid-to-high-level meeting, and he was a little nervous.
"Long Vacation will end in July, and the final episode is currently being filmed. Everything is going smoothly."
"It's over~"
Naoki Nagayama sighed,
"This year's Monday night drama was once again carried by our fans!"
Itō Shuichi laughed:
"With Naoki-san's 'Full House,' next year's Monday 9 PM drama is ours too!"
Naoki Nagayama was speechless. "You guys can't always rely on me. The scriptwriting center needs projects in the second half of the year, right?"
Kota Ueda of the scriptwriting center suddenly had a flash of inspiration:
"Hi, the script center has currently created four scripts for the production department to choose from. They are..."
Naoki Nagayama listened to several projects, which were either workplace dramas or comedies. It seemed that the screenwriters at the script center didn't dare to compete with him for romance dramas!
"That's good"
Naoki Nagayama looked at the directors.
"Kijima-kun, Masataka-kun, Matsuo-kun, and Nishimoto-kun, none of you have any projects for the second half of the year, so you can choose for yourselves."
To everyone's surprise, Masataka Komori immediately raised his hand:
"Naoki-san, I'm willing to participate in the Jurassic Park project in the second half of the year as an assistant director!"
Kijima Kyoya immediately replied, "I'm willing to be the cameraman!"
The two remaining, slower-reacting newcomers finally realized what was happening:
"I'm willing to do odd jobs!" "I'll be a stagehand!"
Everyone knows that joining Naoki Nagayama's projects not only offers high revenue sharing, but also the possibility of winning an award, such as Best Director or Best Editing.
At the very least, I can learn more about filming from Naoki-san. Where else can I find something so great?!
"."
Naoki Nagayama watched with a mix of frustration and disappointment as people desperately tried to get into his project.
"You guys are going to make your own movie!"
If everyone's looking for shortcuts, how can you support the future of our fellow tree-loving friends?!
"."X4
The four directors remained silent, but there was not a trace of shame in their eyes.
"Shuichi-san, you need to really keep an eye on the directors in the film department!"
Seeing their shameless attitude, Naoki Nagayama had no choice but to cause trouble for the film studio's manager.
"One by one, they're all going astray!"
"Haha~" Itō Shuichi laughed, trying to smooth things over, "After all, Naoki-san's film project is very attractive."
"Here's a rule: only directors who have completed their own independent projects can join Naoki-san's team! They can only join once a year!"
Hearing this, the other three were somewhat disappointed, but Nishimoto Banyuki was pleasantly surprised, as he was about to finish "Long Vacation"!
"The first half of the year doesn't count!"
Shuichi Itō made a patch, causing all four of them to bow their heads in embarrassment.
"Alright, alright, let's continue the meeting!"
Yoshimura Daitomo chaired the meeting.
"Is the film department still operating?"
"Oh, and there's also the animation business." Itō Shuichi gestured for Aoyama Gosho to report.
"Hey anime, the Slam Dunk manga continues to be popular, but the anime will be taking a break in the middle of the year. It's expected to be a month-long hiatus because the anime's storyline is catching up with the manga!"
Gosho Aoyama said,
"Currently playing in the high school league."
"That's it"
Naoki Nagayama nodded in understanding, since drawing manga involves original storylines and takes longer.
Gosho Aoyama continued his report:
"Another project in the animation department, 'My Neighbor Totoro,' is currently in the coloring stage and is being produced according to schedule."
"it is good"
My Neighbor Totoro is scheduled for release around the end of the year, and Naoki Nagayama isn't in a hurry.
After reviewing everything, the report on the film business was almost finished; next up was the talent agency business.
Masami Inada stood up and reported:
"In July, the summer project will officially begin, and the artists under Shuyou Agency will proceed with the production of their new albums and records according to the plan."
"Among them, Shizuka Kudo will begin a nationwide concert tour themed 'Hotter'."
"In addition, Izumi Sakai will be holding her first concert."
"Sakai spring water?"
Naoki Nagayama was unexpected.
"Have you reached the point where you can hold your own independent concert?"
"Hi Quanshui Jiang has an astonishing number of fans, and their loyalty is very high. According to the planning team, they have already met the standards for holding a concert."
Masami Inada said,
"We plan to hold our first concert at the Kosei Tenkan in Shinjuku."
"It's there!"
Naoki Nagayama was somewhat dissatisfied.
"This old-fashioned place doesn't fit with rock and roll at all!"
"This"
Masami Inada was somewhat surprised, because being able to hold a concert at the Kosei Nenkan is already quite an achievement for a singer's first concert.
What is Naoki-san's opinion?
"Since we're going to introduce Izumi Sakai to everyone, we can't be so low-key."
Naoki Nagayama thought for a moment and said,
"How about something a little more special, like a racetrack? Or a cruise ship?"
“Ah, this,” Inada Masami said, “that would be very costly.”
“I believe Izumizu-san deserves such strong promotion!” Naoki Nagayama laughed. “She’ll make the company’s profits back in the future!”
"Haha~"
Shuichi Itō couldn't help but laugh. It really is Naoki-san!
"Hey, let's revise the plan again according to Naoki-san's suggestion!"
"Um"
After the brokerage business report was finished, the heads of departments such as general affairs and finance also gave reports. It took more than two hours to finish the monthly meeting before everyone could adjourn.
However, for the executives, this was not the end.
Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Itō went to Otomo Yoshimura's office to continue discussing some matters.
"The company is getting bigger and bigger. Even the regular meetings are getting more and more complicated!" Naoki Nagayama sighed. "What used to be an hour or less now takes twice as long."
“This shows that the company is growing,” said Shuichi Itō.
"This shows the company structure is becoming bloated," Naoki Nagayama shook his head. "We need to seriously restructure next year."
"Uh-huh."
The other two didn't pay attention; the anime department, which Naoki Nagayama restructures every year, was a new addition last year.
After the three of them sat down, Yoshimura Otomo spoke:
"Naoki-san, is there anything that needs to be changed for tomorrow's preview screening?"
"There shouldn't be any problems. All the guests and media have been invited; there shouldn't be any issues," Naoki Nagayama nodded. "The follow-up reports will be online after the preview screening."
"The film 'Departures' needs to increase its promotional efforts from the very beginning."
Yoshimura Hirotomo nodded. "We still need to expand overseas!"
After discussing the preview screening, Shuichi Itō also spoke:
"The hearing follows the preview screening. These two events happening one after the other, Naoki-san, is that alright?"
“I spoke with Hamada-san on the phone the day before yesterday, and he will be coming to the preview screening tomorrow,” Naoki Nagayama said. “This means he is already on our side, and there shouldn’t be any problems within the Liberal Democratic Party!”
"That's good"
Itō Shuichi breathed a sigh of relief.
"This proposal is too troublesome. It turns out that politics is not an easy place to navigate!"
"Haha, it really is difficult."
Naoki Nagayama shook his head.
"However, there should be a major change next year, which will be a good opportunity to help the councilor we support take office."
That bribery case is about to explode!
The three of them talked in the office until noon before finally getting everything arranged for July.
With the arrival of July, the hottest season of the year has begun.
Naoki Nagayama had changed into a loose T-shirt and baggy shorts again, while Akina, whose thinking was still somewhat traditional, remained a bit talkative.
Because generally speaking, Japanese men wear shirts and suits in the summer, and only the Yakuza and delinquents would be so casual.
But more importantly, Akina probably felt she couldn't dress up her husband anymore, since the three-piece outfit didn't offer much room for variation.
Meanwhile, Xiaoxiahua could no longer put on clothes. Every day, when Akina or Mrs. Nonaka Mari tried to dress her, she would cry. This was her first summer after she became conscious.
After taking a shower tonight, I just rolled around in bed without putting on any clothes.
"How about we go shirtless?"
Naoki Nagayama made a suggestion, which was then decisively rejected by Akina's mother!
"What nonsense is Naoki-san talking about!"
Akina's gaze towards Naoki Nagayama seemed to suggest she wanted to punch him.
"Hua Jiang is a girl! And she'll catch a cold!"
"."
How can such a young child distinguish between boys and girls?!
However, under pressure from Akina's mother, Naoki Nagayama dared not argue and could only try to come up with another solution:
"How about... wearing one of those little bellybands?"
For some reason, the image of Nezha from an animation appeared in my mind, and even strange melodies and lyrics played.
It's him, it's him, it's definitely him, our hero, Little Nezha!
Sure enough, this childhood animation is a true classic. The exquisite art style and catchy songs immediately brought back memories for Naoki Nagayama, and he was in a daze as related images kept popping into his mind.
Meanwhile, Akina, oblivious to her husband's unusual behavior, was instead contemplating the possibility of dressing Natsuka in a bellyband.
"A little bellyband?"
After thinking for a while, Akina went to her design studio with great efficiency, cut a piece of soft fabric, sewed on a few clothes ropes, and soon, a beautiful little bellyband was freshly made!
This time, Xia Hua didn't resist wearing it as much; it was like she was just putting a piece of cloth in front of her.
Naoki Nagayama had recovered by this time, but this time he didn't rush to record the memories in his mind. This was because it was a work that was completely out of step with Japanese culture and would definitely not be popular in Japan.
However, looking at Xia Hua wearing her little bib, her adorable appearance makes one want to hug her.
"not bad!"
Akina nodded in satisfaction. She was indeed her daughter; the more she looked at her, the cuter she became.
"I've decided that the first item from Bubble Studio will be a little bib for 1- or 2-year-old babies!"
Especially the girls! It seems like they don't have clothes for little girls of that age!
"."
Naoki Nagayama shrugged. A one-year-old baby doesn't have many requirements for style. Boys and girls can actually wear similar clothes, the only difference being the color.
He didn't know if the style of the bellyband would be popular in Japan, because it seemed that girls in Japan would wear two pieces starting from elementary school, even in summer.
Supposedly, it's to prevent accidental exposure and attracting creepy men. Sigh. Some people in Japan are nice, but there are also many perverts.
"By the way, Akina, do you want to go to the premiere tomorrow?"
Before going to bed, Naoki Nagayama asked his wife...
"There's no need for interviews; it's just a movie I went to see. Watching it on the big screen is definitely more immersive!"
"Departures?"
Akina was a little tempted. Momoe Yamaguchi was also her idol, and she even sang her songs when she debuted. Now it was her idol's first movie after her comeback.
"Okay! I'll sneak in!"
"Why sneak in? Can't we just go in openly and honestly?!"
Naoki Nagayama put his arm around Akina, who was standing next to him.
"Anyway, it's a movie theater owned by a friend of the tree, and everyone sitting in the front row is from the industry, so no one will bother us."
"That's fine too!"
I had something to do during the day, so I'm posting this ahead of schedule!
