Chapter 1004, Chapter 1013, Representative of New Age Materialism.
The next day at the Shuyou Building, Naoki Nagayama saw so many people in his office for the first time.
In the past, only Yoshimura Otomo and Idou Shuichi would come to his office occasionally, but this time, in addition to them, there were backup directors such as Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyon, and even Suzuki Yuuka who came to take notes.
"So why do you want me to read these scripts again?"
Naoki Nagayama helplessly flipped through the script in front of him. Who could understand the pain of being pulled back to work just after a business trip?
"Why don't you just review it?"
Yoshimura Otomo sipped his hot tea:
"After all, these are very expensive projects, so it's better for Naoki-san to go through them first."
The cost of these movie scripts ranges from tens of millions for smaller ones to hundreds of millions for larger ones. As a film production company, spending so much money does require the explicit approval of Naoki Nagayama.
Although Shuichi Idou is the head of the film division, he is still a little worried about such a large budget.
"Well"
Naoki Nagayama was flipping through the script. In fact, he just needed to look at the genre. As long as it was not an art film or a science fiction film that was too advanced, there would be no big problem.
In this era of economic prosperity, people's pursuit of spiritual satisfaction, but the output of the film market cannot keep up, as long as it is produced by a mature film company, starred by famous actors, and the plot is not too weird, it generally will not lose money.
"I took a look and there's basically no problem." Naoki Nagayama looked at the directors sitting there, "You all got a part, right?"
"Hi" Masataka Komori and the others nodded.
Seeing that no one else was talking about the main point, Idou Shuichi shook his head:
"Naoki-san, you seemed to have said before that you would shoot the TV series Tokyo Love Story yourself, right?"
"correct."
Naoki Nagayama does not plan to give this most famous love drama in his previous life to other people, just to satisfy his own wish.
“I really like the plot of this drama.”
"I see." Idou Shuichi adjusted his tone, "Naoki-san, actually we discussed it yesterday. Since you are shooting Tokyo Love Story by yourself, you should at least give some compensation to other people in the company, right?"
"??? Compensation?" Naoki Nagayama suspected that he had heard it wrong.
"Yeah." Yoshimura Otomo chimed in, "Didn't the filming of "Battle Royale" postponed because the atmosphere of the times was not suitable? Then this year, Shuyou will not have Naoki-san's script, and Naoki-san has taken "Tokyo Love Story" away."
"Then there will be nothing left for Shuyou Eiga!" Idou Shuichi took over the conversation, "So shouldn't Naoki-san make up for it?!"
"Akito sack!"
Naoki Nagayama put his index finger on his temple, trying to understand the logic behind it.
"So, Tokyo Love Story is a script I wrote myself. Then I filmed the script I wrote. Do I need to write another script for the Tree Friends as compensation?!"
"Yes, yes." Everyone else in the office nodded in unison.
"Why do I feel like there's something wrong with your logic?!"
"At least we have to fill the gap!" "Otherwise, Shuyou Eiga will be missing Naoki-san's work!" "Even if it's Naoki-san, you can't just take it away!" "Everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time."
Suzuki Yukika, who was recording on the side, couldn't help but cover her eyes when she saw a group of shameless guys trying to collectively fool Nagayama Naoki. It was really unbearable to watch!
Naoki Nagayama looked at the pairs of expectant eyes around him, and for a moment he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Omela!!! How shameless!"
"Naoki-san, I heard that Shuichi-san has previously filmed scripts written by Naoki-san such as "The Wonderful World", "Hachiko: A Dog's Tale", "Love Like the Rain", "The Blue Sea", "Squid Game", etc. Masataka-kun has also filmed "Hot Blood School 2" and "Our Little Sister" written by Naoki-san, and Kijima-kun has filmed "Love Century" and "101 Marriage Proposals". "
Matsuo Muneo and Nishimoto Banyuki looked at Naoyama Naoki pitifully.
"You can't come to us and then you have nothing. Are we stepchildren?!"
"Yes, yes, newcomers like us need Naoki-san's care and love even more!"
"Naoki-san, please have mercy on us."
"."
Looking at the two of them singing in unison and even showing their sincerity to the point of shedding tears, Naoki Nagayama felt that they had a natural talent for acting and it would be a shame if they didn't perform!
At this time, Shuichi Idou, Masataka Komori, Kyon Kimura and others were drinking tea in silence.
Naoki Nagayama understood. It was obvious that these guys had been holding back for a month since the New Year, just to act miserably and force the emperor to abdicate!
It seems that the directors who used to treat Shuyou well were treated too well. Now without his script, can't they make good works? !
"Cough cough."
After coughing twice strategically, Naoki Nagayama's brain started working faster. He knew that if he agreed this time, there would be a second time in the future.
Today we will cede five cities, tomorrow we will cede ten cities, and then we can sleep peacefully for the night. And when we look back next time, these guys will come again!
He doesn't want to be a tool!
"Shuichi-san, Masataka-kun. Mina-san~"
After a short period of thinking, Naoki Nagayama had an idea.
"As for the script, it's not a good idea to always rely on me. After all, there are five directors now, and there may be ten next year. We should completely solve this problem from an institutional perspective!"
"System?" Fangcun Dayou took it seriously. When it came to this level, it concerned the company.
"Yes. I plan to set up a script creation center." Naoki Nagayama said, "I will take the lead, and all the directors and screenwriters will participate together to create high-quality scripts."
"Anyone who has a good idea can bring it forward, and everyone can help enrich it and I will make the final decision. We hold a meeting once a month! All directors, members of the screenwriter team, and even employees identified by me and Otomo-san can participate."
".Is there any difference between this and Naoki-san writing the script directly?"
Of course, I only need to give some ideas! And even if the movie doesn’t work, I can blame the script on all the colleagues in the creative center!
This is the experience that managers who have worked in state-owned enterprises have!
When things are undecided, blame the collective!
"We can try our first brainstorming session and start from this!"
Naoki Nagayama cleared his throat and asked Suzuki Yuka to record it.
"Shuichi-san, Otomo-san, in the new year, I found that the social atmosphere has changed. It has become much easier for everyone to make money since the end of last year, and since the new year, people have started to spend money lavishly.
People value the enjoyment that money brings, and money worship is becoming more and more popular.
More and more people want to make quick money and get rich overnight.
I think this phenomenon can be the origin of a movie. If such a movie is made, it may bring some inspiration to everyone."
After he finished speaking, seeing that everyone started to think, Naoki Nagayama continued to inspire:
"Shuichi-san, I think we discussed the plot of a movie called "Tiger of Ginza" before, remember?"
"Ah, that one! Tiger of Ginza, where a young man made a fortune in the stock market and then lived a life of luxury, but ended up in jail and found out that it was all for nothing."
Idou Shuichi suddenly recalled and looked at Naoki Naoyama expectantly.
"Has Naoki-san written it yet?!"
"." Naoki Nagayama rolled his eyes, "Of course not. I just thought of this and it just happened to be used as an idea for the first brainstorming session."
"Now, everyone can think about what kind of plot can be added to such a movie to enrich the plot and fully reflect the worship of money. Then the moment when everything disappears at the end is very impressive."
After hearing what Naoki Nagayama said, other people in the office began to think.
What should it be like to suddenly become rich, live a life of luxury, be surrounded by flowers and add fuel to the fire?
Yitang Xiu raised his head consciously, and first thought of Naoki Nagayama's experience, and spoke first:
"As for ways to make money, I think Naoki-san's experience is very good. As for the stock market, can you buy the bottom of large corporate mergers? Or can you combine this Plaza Accord and seize the foreign exchange opportunity?"
He made a suggestion, and then everyone realized that the prototype of "Tiger of Ginza" seemed to be very suitable for Naoki Nagayama!!!
"Yes, yes." Komori Masataka continued, "If you want to make a lot of money, set up an investment company, find people to invest, and make a lot of money by trading big stocks!"
"The economic news promoted me as the typical financial upstart, the Tiger of Ginza! This title is very domineering!"
Fangcun Dayou continued: "After making money, of course I would buy a nice car, go clubbing, go to nightclubs, and enjoy myself to the fullest."
"If you want to show off your wealth later." Kimura glanced at Nagayama Naoki, who had filmed the Red Fish Courtyard with him, "Buy a private garden?! Buy a company building?"
“Spend money and buy money everywhere!”
Several people started talking about how to make money and show off their wealth. The more they talked, the more excited they became. Suzuki Yukika, who was in charge of recording, rubbed her pen tip on the paper.
She looked up at Naoki Nagayama, who looked a little strange. She felt that everyone seemed to be describing Naoki-san. But there was one thing missing.
“Dating a famous star.”
Suzuki Kouka said in a low voice.
"???"
Everyone's eyes were focused on the little girl, causing Suzuki Yukika to shrink her neck.
Then everyone's mind suddenly opened up.
"Oh, yes, you can have a scandal with a popular star!" "If one isn't enough, get a few more!" "One a month!" "Have dinner with a magazine cover girl!"
"Do you think we should add a plot where the man gets tired of his wife and abandons her?"
“Hmm, that sounds good.”
"And when celebrating the birthday of the rumored girl, he used an airship to show his love over the city!"
"Oh, this is possible! This is possible!"
"."
Naoki Nagayama just started it, and then it seems like these guys can't stop. And all kinds of behaviors seem to be referring to me!!!
What? In their eyes, they suddenly became rich, and then they indulged in luxury and indulged in madness. Are they the representatives of the new era of materialism? !
"!!! Okay, you guys! Just do exactly what I say!!!"
"." Everyone looked at each other and laughed, "Hahaha, Naoki-san is so suitable!" "Yeah, I can't imagine the real-life version of the movie protagonist." "Naoki-san looks like he walked out of the movie!"
".Then how can I show off my wealth every day?!" Naoki Nagayama interrupted everyone's teasing unhappily.
"When you made money, you bought a sports car. Then a Toyota Century."
Yoshimura Otomo knew Naoki Nagayama's first pot of gold, and he had been envious of the Toyota Century for a long time.
“And he’s buying luxury houses everywhere!”
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm not enjoying myself everywhere, am I? I'm living a life of luxury and debauchery or anything like that!" Naoki Nagayama refused to admit it.
"You own Tokyo's original disco. The first disco, the most famous one!" Idou Shuichi added without hesitation, "The first KTV is also yours!!!"
"But I don't hook up with female celebrities or magazine cover girls everywhere. I only have Akina, and I'm very loyal to her!" Naoki Nagayama insisted.
"Hanako Naoki."
Suzuki Yukika became bolder and even dared to give her own president a finishing blow!
".You guys"
Naoki Nagayama didn't know what to say for a moment, and looked at everyone with expressions that said, "How can you still make excuses?" Finally, he turned his head and said something harsh.
“So annoying!!!”
"Hahahaha~"
For a moment, the office was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
As a result, the first brainstorming session of the Shuyou Script Creation Center achieved perfect results, and a draft script called "Tiger of Ginza" was almost formed.
The rest can be completed by the script team and then the project can be started for filming!
Even with the rudimentary plot, everyone knew that this movie would be a hit!
Moreover, all the directors agreed that if Naoki Nagayama played the leading role, it would be a huge success. However, Naoki Nagayama rejected it!
"I'm not the guy in the plot!" Nagayama Naoki said disdainfully, "In the end, I was arrested for money laundering. I ended up with nothing!"
He, Naoki Nagayama, wants to create a century-old family!
"So after Naoki-san finishes the script, who will be in charge of filming it?!" In the end, Yoshimura Otomo pointed out this most critical issue.
In an instant, Idou Shuichi, Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyon became wary of each other, and Matsuo Muneo and Nishimoto Banyuki also knew that they could not grab the main director and could only compete for the assistant director.
"Shuichi-san, aren't you filming a movie right now?" Komori Masataka was the first to speak up, "Besides, Kijima-kun is the main character, so he probably doesn't have time!"
Kimura Kyon said, "I will have time after I finish filming. Xiuyi-san still needs to edit the film, so he will definitely not be available to arrange the release."
Let’s drive out the biggest threat first!
"." Yitang Xiuyi's face froze.
The close comrade who had just happily supplemented the plot suddenly became a rival.
“Hehehe~” Naoki Nagayama looked around at everyone’s faces and laughed, “You were so happy to be arguing with me just now. Why aren’t you laughing now?!”
"."
"The filming of this movie," Naoki Nagayama said, touching the hearts of all the directors, "will be handed over to the director who will have the Script Creation Center create another script."
"It's an unspoken rule from now on. If you want to get a script from the script creation center, you have to put another one in there first."
"."
Everyone's thoughts began to stir.
No one would have thought that the Shuyou Creative Center, which would dominate the entertainment industry in the future, the organization with the most IPs, the biggest brain hole in the film industry, and the screenwriter's holy land would actually start from the brainstorming of a few people.
