Chapter 1148 1157, Sitting in the audience is different than sitting on the stage!
At the end of the 61st year of the Showa era, along with Santa Claus came the gift from Naoki Nagayama to everyone - "Ghost".
After this movie was released, it broke through the ceiling of current love movies and made people feel what everlasting love should be like.
For several days in a row after Christmas, the cinemas were packed with people, and some viewers watched the movie several times in a row and still couldn't get enough.
Newspapers, magazines, and television stations are full of information and reviews about "Ghost".
In our daily conversations, every three sentences will definitely be about "Ghost". If anyone hasn't watched it, then they are definitely out of date!
This is a very scary scene in the Japanese culture that emphasizes "getting along", and many single people have to go to the cinema to watch it again~
The lingering love, the stunning protagonist, the novel special effects, the sense of revenge, and the melancholy and relief ending make even the most demanding audiences have to praise it as a love movie that has no shortcomings and is nearly perfect.
"Naoki-san!"
Shuichi Idou excitedly rushed into Naoki Nagayama's office, completely ignoring the fact that Naoki was leisurely playing a game on his FC red and white console.
"Our pre-sale box office has been calculated!!! Just the Shuyou Cinema chain, the pre-sale box office in one week has exceeded 2 million!!!"
"Next, Mr. Sugiyama from the publicity and promotion department will definitely be very confident when he discusses the film schedule!"
"Hi hi hi~"
Naoki Nagayama was being casual, his eyes never leaving the controller in his hand. On his computer was the game Contra, which had not yet been officially launched but was already being tested internally.
As the chairman of the Shuyou Group, who holds a high position of power, knows that he likes to play games, so naturally someone will offer him the latest games. Even Nintendo itself will not hesitate to send him games that are still in beta testing to establish a good relationship with him.
"We already knew that the box office would be good! Why are you so excited now?"
With his eyes still fixed on the screen, Naoki Nagayama said to Shuichi Idou,
"Let the people below discuss the matter of increasing the number of screenings!"
"."
Idou Shuichi looked a little helpless and sat next to Naoki Naoyama.
"Naoki-san, how come you don't even care about the box office of your own movie?!"
"I care about you~" Naoki Nagayama paused the game, a little melancholy, "I just won't get too excited."
After so many filming and releasing movies, he has become accustomed to his movies doing well at the box office. In other words, his "threshold" is too high and he is no longer excited.
Just like many big bosses, ordinary stimulation can no longer make them secrete dopamine, so some people's hobbies are becoming more and more perverted, and some people start to embrace gambling and drugs. Losing more than a billion in the casino~
Fortunately, Naoki Nagayama kept in mind the teachings of the new era and never touched gambling or drugs. He was just playing games.
"Come on, Xiuyi-san, play a game of Contra with me. It's very interesting~"
"What? I'm not a child. And I don't know how to play."
Yitang Xiuyi said this, but he subconsciously took the remote control. It is normal to be led astray by a friend who plays games like this.
"It's okay, I can give you 30 lives!"
Naoki Nagayama operated the handle, up and down, left and right, BABA!
So when Yoshimura Otomo also came to Naoki Nagayama's office, he saw the two giants of Shuyou staring at the screen intently.
"You two."
"Ah~~"
He felt that he was really old and couldn't carry it anymore.
"Ah, Otomo-san~" Nagayama Naoki looked up at him, "What's wrong? Are you here to talk about the box office as well?"
"The box office is managed by Xiuyi-san, I don't care~" Yoshimura Otomo sat on the single sofa on the other side helplessly, "I want to talk about the annual meeting!"
"Oh? Annual meeting?? Isn't it in the evening?"
The game was paused. Naoki Nagayama came to visit Tree Friends today specifically for the annual meeting in the evening.
"What's wrong?" Idou Shuichi also asked.
"Everything is ready. The contact person from the banquet planning company just called to confirm the event," said Yoshimura Otomo. "Tokyo Prince Hotel, the banquet hall will start at 18:20 tonight and end at :. All the invited artists have agreed."
"But regarding the speech, Naoki-san, are you really not going to say anything? Are you not going to boost morale?"
“Forget it.” Naoki Nagayama waved his hands repeatedly, “They’ve been encouraging them for a whole year, let’s just let them have a happy last day!”
"So we'll go together tonight?"
"I probably can't. I have to go pick up Akina and take a taxi over later!"
"Why not just let the driver go?"
"The drivers are also Shuyou staff! Let them rest today!"
"."
For a moment, Yoshimura Otomo and Idou Shuichi felt a little ashamed, as they had not considered this.
The Shuyou Group's annual meeting should have been just a small internal matter. After all, almost every company holds a year-end party.
Under the coverage of "Ghost", the Shuyou Group's year-end party did not cause any waves in the outside world. However, it surprised the industry insiders.
Because Shuyou actually hired a special planning company and invited many artists in the entertainment industry who had schedules to perform!
As for the artists under Shuyou, they were all just spectators and there was no performance!
The entrance of Tokyo Prince Hotel is always filled with shuttle cars, but this evening, there are even more people and cars.
Ishihara Ran, the doorman serving at the door, said to his companion Ohashi Chisato during his free time:
"I just saw Minamino Yoko!!!"
"what?"
"After getting off the car, he hurried inside under the protection of his agent."
"Is Minamino Yoko here too?"
"And Asaka Yui!"
"Are these all here to attend the annual tree friends meeting?"
“I heard there was a performance”
"Do you think we should go over and take a look later?! With so many celebrities and idols appearing, it must be a very high-end banquet!"
“But we have to work.”
At this moment, Ohashi Chisato's eyes suddenly straightened and he whispered with a trembling voice:
"Ishihara! That looks like Kudo Shizuka!!!"
"Boom?" Ishihara Ran turned around and saw Kudo Shizuka and a few people getting out of the car.
"Are they here to perform too?!"
"They are all celebrity idols in the entertainment industry, right?"
As one of the most popular idols in the world, Shizuka Kudo's distinctive appearance can be spotted in the crowd.
At this time, she and other artists from Shuyou came to the Prince Hotel to attend the Shuyou Group's annual meeting! They also included Ito Junko, Saito Yuki, Aoyama Chikako and others.
Everyone who got out of the car looked very relaxed and happy, and even the clothes they were wearing were very casual.
This doesn't feel like working.
"I came to the banquet, but I didn't have to perform on stage."
Having been at the pinnacle of idols for a long time, Kudo Shizuka has developed some confidence and dominance. She raised her head at the door and took Ito Junko's arm and said,
"This is a rare experience, Junko-san, don't you think?"
"Yes." Junko Ito was also very emotional.
As the most experienced artist among the tree friends, she feels the hard work of the artists the most deeply.
In the past, the end of the year was the busiest time for artists. Every day was spent in dozens of parts, either on the way to a performance or on the stage. Even eating and putting on makeup was like a battle.
"It seems that Naoki-san said today that we should let all the employees of Shuyou relax." Saito Yuki said, "So let other artists in the entertainment industry perform for us!"
"." Chikako Aoyama and Momoko Kikuchi did not speak.
Although they all felt a little sympathetic as they were all artists, at this moment, as members of the tree friends group, they were undoubtedly very happy.
As they were talking, the youngest signed artist of Shuyou, Miyazawa Rie, and the newest signed artist, Sakai Izumi, also got out of the car, so all the female artists were present. Each of them had a youthful or beautiful face, and they were talking and laughing sweetly.
For a moment, the entrance of Tokyo Prince Hotel looked like a field of flowers in full bloom.
The doormen, Ishihara Jun and Ohashi Chisato, were stunned. They only came to their senses after everyone had entered.
"I must sneak into the banquet hall later!" X2
The banquet hall of Tokyo Prince Hotel has already been decorated in a colorful manner.
There are flower baskets, red carpets, exquisite signboards at the door, neatly arranged banquet tables and wine stations, and a performance stage in the middle of the banquet hall.
Facing the Shuyou Group, the professional planning company naturally showed the best level, whether it was flowers or decorations, they were all top-notch.
The stage in the middle was built by a professional stage design team for a week, and its gorgeousness is even comparable to the Red and White Song Contest.
As time passed, the originally empty banquet hall was gradually filled with people, and it was bustling and joyful!
When Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori arrived, there were only a few empty seats in the entire banquet hall.
“Are these all the employees of Shuyou?”
Akina and Naoki Nagayama walked towards the front row of tables, greeting the employees as they walked.
"There are probably thousands of people, right?!"
“Well, I don’t have an exact number.”
Naoki Nagayama was also a little surprised. He currently only communicated more with some key members, and he did not expect that the size of the tree friends had grown so large.
As a company grows larger, this is inevitable.
The organization has more and more people, and even the general affairs department has more than a dozen people, but Naoki Nagayama only remembers four people: Xing Jiahua, Suzuki Yukika, Hayano Riko, and Ochiai Kimie.
The table they made was of course the main table. The three giants and their families all came. Naoki Nagayama greeted Yoshimura Yuyuki, Idou Kaori and others, and then chatted and laughed with Idou Kaori, who was a little shy due to puberty~
"Why is Jiayi so quiet now? She was so lively before!"
"."
Idou Jiayi didn't want to pay attention to Naoki. It was a small gathering in Yamazakura Court before, and they were all familiar with each other, so of course she was a little relaxed. But now it's a large venue with thousands of people! !
In front of so many people, I, Yitang Jiayi, have to maintain a good image, okay!
"Haha, Naoki-san, stop teasing Kai-chan!"
Akina smiled and pushed Naoki Nagayama away, and pulled Idou Jiayi close to chat with her in a low voice, and also talked to her about Xiao Xiahua's growth. This made Jiayi relax.
"Why didn't Jingxin-kun come?" Naoki Nagayama asked Yoshimura Otomo.
"He ah~~~"
Yoshimura Otomo showed a helpless expression on his face. His son was now extremely rebellious and was already showing a tendency to become a yellow-haired boy. There was nothing he could do about it. When he was growing up quickly, the family environment changed dramatically, which would naturally cause psychological changes.
"He said he didn't like this kind of occasion."
"Haha, forget it!" Naoki Nagayama comforted him, "It will be fine when you grow up~"
"I hope so," Yoshimura Otomo sighed, and then asked, "Naoki-san, how should we educate our children?"
".You ask me? My daughter is only five months old!"
“I think you might have a solution.”
Even the richest man in the world may not be able to educate his children well, so what can Naoki Nagayama do? !
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings." Naoki Nagayama shook his head. "Anyway, Otomo-san has almost more money than he can spend. When he comes of age, we can arrange a trust fund for him, one that cannot be fully withdrawn, to ensure that he can live a good life for the rest of his life."
According to Yoshimura Otomo's current assets, as long as Yoshimura Jingxin does not start a business or gamble, he will almost never be able to spend it all.
"Then let him have a few more children, and prepare an education fund for his grandchildren."
In fact, as long as there is no obsession with "family inheritance", before Fangcun Dayou dies, no matter what happens to his children or grandchildren, he can always guarantee a good life.
As for the flood after death, who cares? Even the dynasty may not be passed down~
"Naoki-san, are you so carefree?"
"Of course, I don't want Xia Hua to work so hard all her life just to make money."
"."
So this is why you keep buying land and forest rights? !
During the chat, the annual meeting finally officially began.
The host was actually an acquaintance, Kenji Suzuki, the former host of the Red and White Songs Contest!
"Mina-san, welcome everyone to the Shuyou Group's year-end party."
With the host’s passionate speech, the long-awaited annual meeting performance officially began!
The opening of the Bonenkai was performed by Asaka Yui, who suddenly became popular this year through "Taimei Kei III: The Legend of Ninja Scrolls". Although she is very popular, she is not qualified enough to participate in the Red and White Song Festival.
The famous song "Christmas in October" fits the atmosphere of the end of the year very well, and even coincides with the recently popular "Ghost"~
Comedians from Yoshimoto Kogyo performed manzai for everyone, the Astringent Persimmons from Johnny's danced on stage, and the Square Band sang popular songs on stage.
Naoki Nagayama, Otomo Yoshimura, Shuichi Ido and others who were sitting in the audience also completely put their worries aside and watched the performance happily.
Well-known idols such as Kudo Shizuka and Aoyama Chikako watched the artists they were familiar with perform on the stage, but this time they were just spectators, eating delicious food and watching the performances on the stage with a smile~
“It’s a different feeling sitting in the audience!”
Seeing Minamino Yoko, whom she knew, coming on stage, Saito Yuki sighed.
Most of the time, she was the one on stage! How could she have the free time and relaxed state of mind like today?
"Sister Shizuka." Miyazawa Rie took advantage of her age and called everyone sweetly, "Is this different from before? During the Red and White Song Contest, couldn't we watch from the seats below after the performance?"
"Of course it's different!" said Shizuka Kudo.
"When I am performing a part, my nerves are tense. Before the performance, I think about how I will perform and how to impress the audience. After the performance, I think about whether I have performed well.
In short, I was very nervous throughout the whole process and had no intention of watching other people's performances at all!!!"
"And now, I am just enjoying it. I feel very relaxed!!"
Shizuka Kudo seemed to be venting, she drank the red wine on the table in one gulp, feeling the stimulation of the alcohol, a fuming feeling came to her head, and she felt much happier.
When you perform on the stage, you are trying to please the audience. When you sit in the audience and watch the performance, you are the one being pleased, so it is naturally different!
Today, I am both a viewer and a consumer!
