Tokyo bubble life

Although the editing work of "Ghost" was a bit hectic, it progressed very smoothly.

Finally, on the last day of November, the first trailer was released~

"Naoki-san, it's time to play!"

Kyon Kimura said this in the small screening room. Also in the room were Yoshimura Otomo, Idou Shuichi, and several people from the Publicity Department.

"Hmm~"

Naoki Nagayama nodded, then the lights dimmed and a two-minute trailer began playing on the small screen.

The first is the famous scene of making pottery together, and then the warm scenes of daily interactions. On the screen, Akina Nakamori is beautiful, and Naoki Nagayama is handsome and gentle. It is obvious that this is a couple in the passionate love period.

However, at such a happy moment, the music becomes urgent, and the situation takes a turn for the worse. The male protagonist played by Naoki Nagayama is killed. The couple is separated by Yin and Yang, but Naoki Nagayama is unwilling to become a Buddha and is obsessed with protecting his lover.

Naoki Nagayama, who has become a ghost, cannot be seen by ordinary people, but can be sensed by the psychic witch. He finds that he can pass through walls in hospitals and subway stations and learns to control objects with his mind.

In the end, with this, he bravely fought against the evil hand and finally protected his lover, but he also ended his obsession and finally ascended to heaven.

The final frame on the screen is a close-up of the sadness and relief on Akina Nakamori's face~

As the lights in the screening room came on again, Idou Shuichi and Yoshimura Otomo were the first to applaud, and Sugiyama Toshihiko and others from the Publicity Department naturally followed suit.

"It's very attractive! Naoki-san!" Idou Shuichi praised, "The first half is gentle and tender, the second half is faster, the plot twists, and the ending is sublime. Just from the trailer, I can already feel the loyal love between the hero and heroine. And I want to watch the whole movie!"

"Yeah. And you can tell from the trailer that Akina-chan's acting has improved a lot!"

Yoshimura Otomo also praised him.

"Whether it's sad or happy, it's very touching. The close-up at the end is even more powerful. It's like you can see the shadow of your loved one in the eyes!"

".Forehead."

Naoki Nagayama scratched his cheek.

"Because the final shot was shot while looking at me. I was operating the camera."

Yoshimura Otomo was stunned for a moment, then he coughed:

"I see! No wonder, no wonder. But for those who don't know the inside story, it's still very powerful!"

Sugiyama Toshihiko from the Publicity Department asked:

"Naoki-san, then this trailer is confirmed, right?"

“Hey, let’s take this one!”

This one happened to use the two wall-penetrating special effects shots processed by Robert, and the others have not been completed yet.

"Before Christmas, I will edit a trailer with a stronger rhythm. It will help attract audiences to the cinema~"

"I understand!" Sugiyama Toshihiko nodded, "Then I will take this trailer to make copies and distribute it to various cinemas and distribution channels!"

"Um"

In addition to movie theaters, trailers will also be broadcast on TV stations and dynamic advertising screens in large shopping malls. Some footage will also be captured and made into poster materials. In short, they should be spread out as much as possible so that the entire neon can be seen.

"By the way, Minister Sugiyama," Naoki Nagayama said, "You can also consider promoting Ghost overseas. I think it will be popular in the United States and Europe!"

"This..." Sugiyama Zhiyan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I'll think about it first!"

After Sugiyama Toshihiko and the others left, Idou Shuichi asked with a smile:

"Are you so confident in Ghost?"

"Of course!"

After all, this movie itself is a classic foreign love movie

“It’s just that the dubbing needs to be remade. And the characters in this movie are Asian after all, so it may be more relevant in Southeast Asia.”

“.”

After the preview of the trailer, Naoki Nagayama did not go to the editing room. Instead, at the invitation of Yoshimura Otomo, he went to the top-floor office with Idou Osamu.

“It feels like it’s been a while since we had tea together!”

Fangcun Dayou took out the tea set and made tea for his two friends.

"Naoki-san is always in the editing room, while Shuichi-san is in the club."

"What? I'm just running around socializing with different people and building relationships!"

Shuichi Idou sighed. In order to set up the "Tokyo Film Association", he had been running around to build relationships with the Film Promotion Association, the Directors Association, the Screenwriters Association, etc. At least he had become familiar with the presidents of all the associations.

"But these people are all different. When it comes to establishing a unified Tokyo Film Association, they all have different demands, or they are lukewarm."

"Ha, there's nothing we can do about it. They all represent different interest groups, and no one wants to have another Big Brother above their heads." Naoyama Naoki smiled and consoled, "It's a very difficult thing to begin with."

"Shuuichi-san~" Naoki Nagayama spoke again, "I met Section Chief Ikebana Yasuko at a party in the East Palace before.

She seems to be very interested in establishing the Tokyo Film Association. I think this matter really needs to be led by an official management organization to succeed. Let's talk about it later."

"The Ministry of Education also wants to establish a 'Tokyo Film Association'?"

"No, it's Ikebo Yasuko who's interested." Nagayama Naoki said to Itou Shuichi, "Maybe we can get the endorsement from the Agency for Cultural Affairs or even the Ministry of Education through her?"

"this."

Ito Xiuyi rubbed his hands.

“It is indeed very likely.”

Idou Shuichi has also come into contact with Ikebo Yasuko, and knows that she is a capable and ambitious official of the Ministry of Education. Moreover, she has a background in the Ikebo family, a flower arrangement family that is respected by the upper class!

In the political arena, capable people may not necessarily get things done, but people with backgrounds are more likely to get things done.

However, Idou Shuichi still asked uncertainly:

"Will that Ikebana Hoshiko-san help us?"

At this time, Yoshimura Otomo handed the brewed tea cups to the two of them and said with a smile:

"Then we'll see if Naoki-san's beauty trick works!"

".Otomo-san~" Nagayama Naoki stared at him with a pair of dead fish eyes, "I think you are getting more and more elegant as you get older!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Idou Shuichi coughed up the tea he had just drunk and started laughing.

"Hahahaha, Otomo-san! Naoki-san. Why don't we all go together and see who Ikebo Yasuko chooses!"

"You bastard! You are her age!" "Shut up!" "Get lost~"

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became unnaturally joyful!

A few minutes later, when everyone stopped laughing, Yoshimura Otomo continued to perform his tea ceremony. After the three of them had tasted the tea for a while, Yoshimura Otomo suddenly seemed to remember something:

"By the way, Naoki-san, although the regular meeting at the beginning of the year has not yet started, there is one thing I can already tell you."

"What's up?"

"We are going to give out year-end bonuses again!" said Yoshimura Otomo.

"Ah? Didn't they just send it out?" Naoki Nagayama asked what all bosses were thinking, "Why are they sending it out again?"

"That was a year ago!"

Yoshimura Otomo said,

“Time flies by so fast!”

“One year ago.”

Naoki Nagayama thought back and it seemed that he was still editing Hayato at that time, and now he is editing Ghost. Why does it seem that he is very busy at the end of every year? !

While Naoki Nagayama was still reminiscing, Yoshimura Otomo continued:

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"As Shuyou Group grows bigger, giving out year-end bonuses has become a big deal. I expect to give out at least 80 million this year."

"Forehead"

Naoki Nagayama is a little sensitive about the year-end bonus now, but he is not very sensitive to the amount of money. He just feels that it doesn't seem to be that much, not even 100 million.

"And there are too many people now, Naoki-san, we can't distribute them to the employees one by one!"

When the year-end bonus was distributed for the first time that year, Naoki Nagayama and his two friends went to the bank to withdraw the cash in person, and then packed it up one by one. He still remembers the pile of cash on his desk.

Idou Shuichi interrupted:

"So we give it to the middle-level cadres? And then each department will give it out on its own?"

“That’s about it!”

Fangcun Dayou nodded. Currently, Shuyou Group has many departments and more than 500 people, but there are only a few dozen middle-level backbones.

"Haha, then send it~"

Naoki Nagayama didn't have too many ideas. Anyway, performance and other things were usually managed by Otomo-san.

"Okay, I'll show you the year-end bonus distribution plan." Yoshimura Otomo nodded, "But I have to set aside a day at the end of the year to distribute the bonuses to the key members, and have a heart-to-heart talk with them!"

"Hey, I will!"

When he said this, Naoki Nagayama suddenly remembered that he had another company under his control.

"By the way, there might be some trouble over at Shuyou Capital."

What is even more important is that the bonus negotiation in an investment bank requires the boss to personally discuss with each trader and cannot be delegated to others.

Naoki Nagayama no longer pays much attention to everyone's performance except for the monthly data. He needs to take time to have a good chat with Yuan Tai-san.

Alas. I always feel that there are a lot more things to do besides editing work!

In the office, Naoki Nagayama sighed and drank a cup of bitter tea. As expected, making so much money will bring so many troubles!

There is no trivial matter of year-end bonus for Mingcai. She is no longer eligible for the year-end bonus of Yanyin. She is a shareholder now and receives dividends.

However, it is almost the end of the year. In addition to participating in the Japan Record Awards and rehearsals for the Red and White Songs Contest, Akina is also thinking about another thing.

In the design studio at the Ken-On headquarters, Akina Nakamori is asking the modeling designer Hiroyo Ochi:

"Yang Shi-san, if you want to be an independent designer and create a clothing brand, where should you start?"

"Hmm?" Ochi Yoshi, who was designing the stage costumes, raised his head. "Akina-chan, why do you want to ask this?"

"I've always been interested in clothing, and I have a good idea of ​​how to match fashion."

Akina was confident when she said this, because she can indeed lead the fashion trend. The new hip-hop kimono in "Passion" has already caused some trends. Rock singers in livehouses and underground concerts often see similar styles.

Some young people who pursue new trends have also started wearing this kind of clothing and have appeared in pedestrian paradise and various events.

Even the bob haircut has returned to young girls' heads~

“So, I want to know how to start as an independent designer. I want to treat it as a career, not a hobby~”

Akina Nakamori was inspired by the career-oriented women who had come before her. In addition to her music career, she also wanted to achieve some success in design.

In fact, Naoki Nagayama had said before that he wanted to buy a factory for Akina, and he also left a design studio at home, but it was delayed by getting married and having children.

"Actually, with Akina's current influence."

Ochi Hiroyo looked at Akina Nakamori and said,

"All Mingcai needs to do is register a company and make the clothes, and there will definitely be many people who will buy them!"

"Uh," Akina Nakamori shook her head, "I don't want to make it into idol peripherals, nor do I want to go through the Kenon channel. I want to make it an independent fashion brand!"

"Clothing brands also choose spokespeople!" Ochi Yoshio said nonchalantly, "Since we have such conditions, why not make good use of them?"

"As long as the clothes are good to Akina, why not recommend them to fans with confidence?"

"This..." Mingcai was stunned for a moment. Her mindset had not yet changed from an employee to a boss. "Is this okay?"

"Of course!"

Ochi Hiroyo nodded.

"But in the early stages, it's better to design the clothing style first, invest some money, and commission a foundry to make it to give it a try."

"As for sales, if you don't want to go through Yanyin's channels, I know a few clothing store owners here, you can try listing it with them first."

"Really?" Akina asked in surprise.

"Of course. Anyway, we get a share of the profits from selling clothes, so it doesn't matter if the quantity is not large."

“Hmm.”

Mingcai thought about it for a while and felt that it would be no problem to take out tens of millions to give it a try. Her own dividends this year were several hundred million.

And Naoki-san would never blame her for spending money recklessly.

"Then Yang Shi-san, let me design the clothes first."

"Akina designs clothes for young girls, of course. It would be best if they were spring clothes. Making them takes time!" Yoshi Ochi reminded, "Spring clothes are thin and light, and they stand out easily. After wearing thick clothes for a whole winter, people also want to show off their unique characteristics!"

"Hey, I understand!"

After discussing this matter, Akina felt the long-lost excitement and joy. It was the feeling of entering a new and unknown field when she just debuted.

"No matter what, make a few sets of clothes for yourself first. You can also design a few sets for Naoki-san later!"

Imagining that Naoki Nagayama will wear clothes designed by himself in the future, Akina became a little happy~

I have something to do tomorrow, so I'll write a chapter early!
