Chapter 1208. No one knows movies better than me!
The next night.
"I'm back."
When Naoki Nagayama returned to Yamaozurain, he saw Akina sitting on the sofa in a daze. She looked very depressed and didn't even notice that he had returned.
"Akina?!"
I walked over and called out to her, and only then did Akina come back to her senses.
"Ah Naoki-san, you're back."
"What's wrong? You look like you have something on your mind." Naoki Nagayama was a little surprised and looked around. "Where's Hana-chan? Did she go to bed so early?"
"Moli-san is taking a bath upstairs."
Akina answered subconsciously, and then helped Naoki Nagayama take off his coat and put it away.
Seeing his wife in a trance, Naoki Nagayama quickly pulled her to sit down and asked carefully:
"What? What happened?"
"." Akina glanced at Naoki Nagayama, her eyes began to turn red, and she took out a report from the drawer next to her, "Naoki-san, it seems that he has cancer."
"what?"
Naoki Nagayama knew yesterday that Akina took Chieko for a physical examination, and she would go for some tests on an empty stomach this morning.
Because it is an expensive private hospital, there is no need to queue up for the medical examination report and you can get it in the afternoon.
Naoki Nagayama took the report in surprise and began to read it.
Naoki Nagayama could only roughly see those complicated physical examination indicators, but the doctor's conclusion included one item: "The digital examination showed a mass at the lower end of the rectum. Combined with the biochemical indicators, rectal CA is suspected. It is recommended to further diagnose through colonoscopy, pathological biopsy, tumor marker detection, etc."
Then there was another checklist that came with the physical examination report, which was obviously other further examinations, and the results did confirm rectal cancer.
"The doctor discovered it during a digital examination. He told me that rectal tumors are basically malignant and there is at least an 80% chance that they are rectal cancer."
Akina leaned on Naoki Nagayama's shoulder and said with a choked voice,
"Then I asked my mother to do some more tests. The results came out in the afternoon."
"."
After seeing the inspection report, Naoki Nagayama was stunned for a while, and then asked:
"Does Chieko-san know?"
"I finished the examination this morning and told my mother that the results would not be out for the time being, so I sent her back." Akina said, "I haven't told her yet."
Mingcai started to cry as she spoke. Everything was going well, but her beloved mother had cancer.
Naoki Nagayama gently patted Akina's back and comforted his wife:
"Don't worry, Akina. Some cancers can be cured if they are discovered early. If it doesn't work, we can go to the United States for treatment. The medical development there is more advanced."
In fact, there are many diseases that can be cured with money, including cancer, which is known as an incurable disease. There is only one disease in the world, and that is poverty!
"Did the doctor tell me what the rectal cancer is like?"
“The doctor said it’s still early.”
"See, isn't that great? If it's detected early, there are many treatment options!"
"Then let's consult the doctors at various hospitals first, and then tell Chieko-san."
"."
He gently comforted the fragile Akina until he fell asleep with Natsuka at night, and then Naoki Nagayama stood on the balcony with a heavy heart to relax.
The cool night wind blew past, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard made rustling sounds. Occasionally, one or two car horns could be heard outside the courtyard wall, but it didn't seem noisy in such a quiet night.
In the inky night, you can vaguely see neon lights in the distance, and the warning lights on the top of the tall buildings flickering. The nightlife over there is bustling.
This year, his grandfather passed away, and his mother-in-law suddenly became seriously ill. In this era of the most prosperous bubble, Naoki Nagayama felt the heaviness of "life is determined by fate, and no one can control it at all."
"It would be nice to have a cigarette at this time."
This thought suddenly popped up in Naoki Nagayama's mind, but he extinguished it in an instant.
"Forget it, forget it. I don't want to get cancer in a few decades."
After taking a few deep breaths, Naoki Nagayama returned to the bedroom and gently hugged his sleeping wife and daughter.
The crew in Ota Ward took a temporary holiday, which was notified by Kyon Kimura in the morning.
As the producer, director and screenwriter of the crew, Naoki Nagayama has absolute control over the crew. Even if the process is delayed or the budget is exceeded, no one will bother him. Salaries will be paid as usual!
So when he has something to do, he can arbitrarily give everyone a holiday.
"Has anything happened to Naoki-san?"
Miura Yuka asked Kijima Xu,
"Why so sudden?"
"I don't know either," Kimura shook his head, "I just received a call this morning."
"But we definitely can't shoot today. Youhe-san and Baihui-san can go back and take a day off."
After talking to Kyon Kimura and Miura Tomokazu, he went to arrange the work for other crew members, leaving Miura Tomokazu and Yamaguchi Momoe a little confused.
"Momoe." Miura Tomokazu paused, "Shall we go back?"
"."
Yamaguchi Baihui originally wanted to nod, but suddenly remembered that this was a sudden holiday!
Everything has been arranged for Yuutarou and Takahiro for today, so she doesn't need to worry, and there are no important tasks at home. During this period of time, she has either been taking care of the children or filming movies, and has no life of her own!
Even though she has given birth to two children, Yamaguchi Momoe is only 27 years old. She is still at the end of her youth!
She looked at Miura Tomokazu with some expectation in her eyes:
"Honey, why don't we go back in the evening? How about going out for a day and relaxing?!"
".Well."
Tomokazu Miura was immediately attracted!
"Baihui, shall we go to the beach or go for an outing?"
"Let's go to the beach! The weather is nice today!"
"."
The crew of "Departures" all relaxed, which surprised the crew of "Long Vacation" next door.
Even though Nishimoto Banyuki was editing the TV series, the crew did not stop filming. The young director was full of energy and could work overtime all night after finishing the day's filming.
This made the two protagonists, Masaharu Fukuyama and Chikako Aoyama, so busy that they forgot about everything else.
The plot of "Long Vacation" has reached the point where Chikako Aoyama has found a new boyfriend, Yamazaki, and Sena, played by Masaharu Fukuyama, is beginning to get jealous.
In the room of the apartment, Sena, Yamazaki and Konan played by Chikako Aoyama started a Shura field~
"When I was unemployed, thanks to Sena's help I didn't become homeless"
"So you guys aren't in that kind of relationship."
Yamazaki's words made the atmosphere a little awkward, and at this time Fukuyama Masaharu happened to hand over a cup of coffee.
"I've wanted to tell you for a long time. Sena is like my younger brother. I've always wanted to tell you, but I never had the chance."
Xiaonan explained.
"I also have a younger brother who is the same age, so we are like twins."
"Haha, that's it"
Yamazaki smiled and nodded, then glanced at his watch.
"It's time to catch my flight. I have to go."
"."
While Xiaonan was sending Yamazaki downstairs, Fukuyama Masaharu hid in the apartment and complained to himself:
"Hey, he's like a younger brother."
"Don't worry, he's still my brother anyway."
"younger brother."
"Cut!"
Nishimoto Banyuki shouted "click" through the loudspeaker.
"Fukuyama-kun, you should look more melancholy and resentful at this moment. The sexy older sister you live with only treats you as her younger brother!"
"."
Fukuyama Masaharu was helpless. I know, I know! Can you please stop emphasizing it?
Chikako Aoyama is indeed a little older than him, and after spending some time together, he has indeed discovered that Chikako Aoyama really only treats him as a younger brother!
Chikako Aoyama's eyes were fixed on Naoki Nagayama.
Thinking of this, Fukuyama Masaharu's eyes dimmed and he became even more depressed.
"Okay, okay! That's it!"
Nishimoto Banyuki praised him repeatedly,
"As expected, Fukuyama-kun is very talented. Keep up the good work."
"On your marks. Get set. Action!"
"."
In the Shuyou building, Miyazaki found Gosho Aoyama and asked when Naoki Nagayama or Shuichi Ido would be free.
"We have completed the storyboard for My Neighbor Totoro. The next step is to have the artist complete the in-between frames and reprint the pictures."
Miyazaki Hayao said,
"Before that, I still hope that Naoki-san or Shuichi-san can review it. Otherwise, if we need to make changes later, the workload will be very large."
"Haha. But I don't know when they will be free!"
Qingshan Gangchang spread his hands.
"Naoki-san rarely comes to the company, not to mention that "Departures" is being filmed now.
As for Shuichi-san, his focus is now on the Tokyo Film Industry Association. He seems to be preparing a proposal with a well-known person. He doesn't come to the company often."
"In other words, the two main leaders of the Shuyou Film Department don't care about the company's business?!"
Miyazaki Hayao felt helpless.
"That's not the case. Isn't Naoki-san focusing on promoting the film business? The movie "Departures" is the core business!"
"The money earned by our "Slam Dunk" and your "My Neighbor Totoro" is not even a fraction of the movie's earnings. Your "My Neighbor Totoro" has not even made any money yet."
"."
Miyazaki Hayao is speechless. Gosho Aoyama, what nonsense are you talking about?
"Animated films are also films! We are also the core business of Shuyou Films!"
“It can only be called a core business if it makes money!”
"." Miyazaki sat in a chair and sulked, "What should we do now? Wait."
"Hmm," Aoyama Gosho came up with an idea, "Miyazaki, you can try to save the country in a roundabout way and go find Otomo-san! He always knows the schedule of the other two executives."
"Otomo-san"
The serious face of Yoshimura Otomo appeared in Miyazaki's mind.
In fact, in the eyes of employees who are not familiar with him, Yoshimura Otomo has always been a serious and charismatic type!
After all, if you want to manage a company, as a standing CEO you can’t just smile all the time.
"I think Otomo-san is in charge of the entertainment agency business. I haven't had much contact with him."
Miyazaki was somewhat resistant.
"Then there's no way."
Qingshan Gosho spread his hands.
"As a last resort, establish good relations with Xing Jiahua and Suzuki Yukika at the front desk, and have them notify you as soon as Naoki-san or Shuuichi-san shows up!"
Tsk tsk tsk. For a company as big as Shuyou Group, you have to go through two front desk staff to find the top management.
Sometimes Hayao Miyazaki really doesn’t know how the Shuyou Group has grown to its current size!
"Okay. I'll go draw an anime-style picture of Xing Jiahua and Suzuki Yukatsu!"
As a cartoonist, he must be good at coaxing girls~
What were Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Ido, mentioned by Hayao Miyazaki and Gosho Aoyama, doing at this time?
Naoki Nagayama took Akina to the cancer hospital to consult experts about treatment options. I won’t go into details here.
As for Shuichi Idou, he was holding another salon event.
"Shuuichi-san, this is Mr. Robert, the American diplomat stationed in Japan!"
Masako Owada was introduced to Shuichi Idou as a trainee diplomat.
During this period, Masako Owada had actually met Shuichi Ido several times, all at various social events, some organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, some organized by other celebrities, and this time, it was a film appreciation salon organized by Shuichi Ido.
Shuichi Idou has been very active in high-class social activities recently. As the president of the film industry association, he seems eager to make the association famous.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Robert!"
Shuichi Idou shook the ambassador's hand enthusiastically.
"Director Yitang." Robert also responded enthusiastically in Japanese, "I have heard of your name for a long time."
"."
Hearing these inappropriate words, Ito Shuichi's expression became a little stiff. The Japanese themselves are not good at using idioms, let alone an American like Robert.
But he didn't show it and was still very enthusiastic:
"Does Mr. Robert like watching movies?"
"Of course, movies are treasures in the history of art and everyone likes to watch them!" Robert said proudly, "Not to mention that movies originated in the United States."
There is no need to refute this statement. The origin of film is in France, but it is true that it only rose from Hollywood in the United States to become the global film production and distribution center.
"Yes, yes. The Hollywood film industry is amazing. We in the Japanese film industry need to learn from it."
Yi Tangxiu's few words of praise made Robert even happier.
After the two chatted about their favorite movie genres for a while, Idou Shuichi talked about the various systems in Hollywood.
"The industry associations in the American film industry, such as the Screen Actors Guild and the Writers Guild, are also very advanced in protecting the welfare of their employees."
Idou Shuichi said,
"We at the Tokyo Film Industry Association want to learn from the United States in this regard."
"Mr. Robert, can we communicate more about the protection of film industry professionals?"
"Hahaha, of course there's no problem with that!"
Robert was all smiles.
"I know several Hollywood producers, screenwriters and famous movie stars."
“No one knows movies better than me!”
"."
For the sake of his own proposal, Shuichi Idou had to flatter the American ambassador. He now wanted to unite as many people as possible to make the influence of the Film Association's first proposal as great as possible!
Next to her, Masako Owada, the future empress, is trying to participate in the salon as a trainee diplomat of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Although she met Prince Naruhito once a few years ago, there was no spark between them. As a woman of the new era, Masako Owada hopes to become a career-oriented woman.
"Director Yi Tang is currently promoting his "Proposal on Labor Rights Protection in the Film Industry."
Masako Owada had a lot of thoughts in her mind, thinking back to Shuichi Ido's speeches over the past few days. This proposal included the protection of the rights and interests of people working in the film industry. It was a further regulation of the film industry based on the Labor Standards Act, including calling for minimum wage guarantees for people working in the film industry, protecting employee privacy, etc.
At present, Neon does not have a "Personal Information Protection Law", but in the past few years, Neon courts have confirmed the status of privacy rights in the Constitution, so protecting privacy has become a consensus. It is just integrated in the "Proposal".
"Should I also attach this proposal? This kind of industry standard is very helpful in improving reputation."
No matter which country it is, the label of "respecting and protecting human rights" is welcomed by the upper class~
