After receiving the call at home, Naoki Nagayama did not go to the hospital immediately, but went to visit Masataka Komori with Shuichi-san the next day.
Because Nishimoto Banyuki, who accompanied him to the hospital, had already received accurate information that the patient was not seriously injured, but had just fainted due to long-term fatigue. After the doctor's diagnosis in the hospital, he had fallen asleep with an IV drip.
"The young people of this generation are not good enough!" Idou Shuichi shook his head. "For example, I stay up late, but after having breakfast, I am full of energy again!"
".Xiuyi-san, first remove the dark circles under your eyes and the paleness on your face, then your words will be convincing!"
Naoki Nagayama, who was sitting in the back row with him, complained that he had only had a few drinks, but he looked so weak when he woke up in the morning.
"Zheng Xiaojun is working overtime editing a movie, doing mental work"
"In short, the young people of this generation are not good enough!"
"."
Naoki Nagayama was a little helpless, because he was just a pure young man now!
"But speaking of it, our tree friends' overtime culture needs to be improved!" Naoki Nagayama said, "There is no need to work so hard."
Idou Shuichi glanced at Naoki Nagayama and thought to himself, isn't it you, the founder, who has created this bad atmosphere?
Shuyou Group is very good in other aspects. Whether it is treatment, system or company atmosphere, it is far better than other companies in Japan and is developing prosperously.
However, there is one aspect where some employees are under much more pressure than others, and that is the project leaders of the film department - the directors!
Because Naoki Nagayama is so capable, he can produce excellent films in a very short time, shoot and edit quickly, and get high box office! He even beat other film production companies with this feature!
With such a boss, even if he does not require others to be like him, he has set a very high benchmark for Shuyou Films, and younger directors all unconsciously work towards the direction of Naoki Nagayama!
But what should I do if my talent is not as good as Naoki Nagayama? I can only work harder!!!
Overtime and pressure are concentrated in the film production department, especially on the younger directors.
"Ahem, Naoki-san." Idou Shuichi had to explain to his subordinates, "In fact, overtime is not a problem in Neon."
“But not in Shuyou!”
Naoki Nagayama said,
"We are a modern company. In the future, we want to become an international company in the European market. If we work too much overtime, we won't be able to enter!"
"???"
Are human rights in Europe so good? Yi Tang Xiuyi doesn't know much about Western Europe because they are still in the Cold War!
"Ahem. Okay." Yi Tangxiu nodded, "I will strictly check everyone's attendance from now on. If you want to work overtime, you need to apply for it!"
"Yeah, that's right."
Naoki Nagayama nodded with satisfaction. Although he has become a capitalist now, there is still a difference between capitalists and feudal landlords. He only cares about whether employees can complete their work, and he doesn't just want to see them stay in the company and work overtime all day.
As they were talking, the car had already arrived at the hospital.
When getting off the car, Naoki Nagayama seemed to see several paparazzi with cameras at the hospital entrance.
"Eh? Is there anyone who wants to film something like Masahiro-kun fainting?"
"Naoki-san, after all, Shuyou is a big company, and even the smallest thing is news." Idou Shuichi patted Nagayama Naoki's arm, "Besides, Masataka-kun is a famous director!"
"."
Ah, Naoki Nagayama then remembered that Masataka Komori, Kyon Kimura and others are still three generations of young directors among the Shuyou, but if there were other Shuyou, they would all be well-known directors who have won major awards in the film industry!
It even gained some international fame because of the Tokyo International Film Festival!
"I see."
When Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Ido walked through the busy hospital corridor and arrived at the ward, they saw Masataka Komori had woken up and was eating breakfast.
Although he looks a little haggard, he is still in good spirits.
"Naoki-san! Shuichi-san!" After seeing his two superiors, Masataka Komori was a little overwhelmed for a moment. He straightened his back and wanted to stand up and say hello.
"Masataka-kun, please continue to eat your breakfast!" Nagayama Naoki put the condolences he brought aside, "What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said it was due to overwork. Just go back and have a good rest~"
Komori Masataka said with a smile,
"Actually, I feel like I've recovered. I'm just a little weak. I fainted last night just because my blood sugar was too low."
At this time, the doctor on duty came over, looked through the case and said:
"This patient is physically overdrawn. He seems to be fine now, but it's just superficial. He must rest for a while! If he overworks again during this period, it may cause permanent damage!"
"Is it that serious~"
"It's that serious!" The doctor obviously thought Shuyou was exploiting his employees. "The company should treat its employees as family members!"
"Hey we'll fix it!"
Naoki Nagayama nodded repeatedly to assure himself until the doctor left.
"In that case." After hearing what the doctor said, Idou Shuichi also sat down, "Don't continue to work overtime like this in the future. You should go home and have a good rest these few days!"
Naoki Nagayama interjected, “Take a week off!”
"How can this be possible!" Komori Masataka was stunned for a moment, and shook his head repeatedly, "'Across the World' has been edited for the most part and will be released in February! How can I give up halfway at this time!"
"Your health is important! Masataka-kun!" Nagayama Naoki advised, "As for film editing, there's no rush!"
Idou Shuichi interrupted:
"Yeah. Besides, we can ask other people to help with the editing."
He turned around and glanced at Nishimoto Banyuki who was staying by the bed, and Nishimoto Banyuki instantly became excited!
Previously, due to an injury, Naoki Nagayama took away the script for the filming of "Ghost". He was very depressed at first, but he didn't expect that now, because of another person's injury, he could actually get a ready-made movie? !
Even if he only edited a part, he could still sign as the director on the curtain call of "Across the World"! !
"I, I, I do!"
Nishimoto Banyuki kept shouting in his heart, and his eyes were a little excited~
"Ahem." Idou Shuichi shifted his gaze at this time, "Naoki-san or I are both fine~"
"." Nishimoto Banyuki felt like he was struck by lightning, and he felt completely lost~
"Naoki-san, please make some changes."
Masataka Komori looked at Naoki Nagayama and Idou Shuichi, and his gaze finally fell on Naoki Nagayama.
"If it's Naoki-san, then it's not impossible."
"." Itou Shuichi looked like he was punched, his eyes became dangerous~
"Hahaha, can I come and watch the editing for a while~" Naoki Nagayama laughed, "That's fine, anyway, besides participating in the film awards at the beginning of the year, I don't have much to do."
"Thank you!"
Masataka Komori immediately thanked him,
"I will take a good rest and return to work as soon as possible!"
"It's okay, it's just a few days~"
Just like that, it was decided that Komori Masataka would go home to recuperate, and everyone ignored Nishimoto Banyuki who was waiting anxiously beside them.
The Kichijoji area in Koganei City, a suburb of Tokyo, is an area where craftsmen gather.
Perhaps because they think painting is also a craft, Hayao Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli is located here~
When "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" became very popular two years ago, the Studio Ghibli here became somewhat famous among the people nearby. However, the box office failure of "Castle in the Sky" last year made the fame that came with the wind disappear with the wind.
Today, the small studio is filled with gloom. The original drawing table is now empty, with only messy manuscripts and pencils telling of the depression.
"Miyazaki." Miyazaki's colleague and good friend Takahata Isao advised in a separate workroom nearby, "It's time to make a decision!"
"But." Miyazaki looked around his studio, full of reluctance, "I don't want to give up here! This A-Pu studio is our dream!"
"But dreams can't be eaten!"
Isao Takahata sighed. He originally thought that the comics studio could continue to operate and get better and better!
After all, the first "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" was so successful, who would have thought that the second one would actually bankrupt the studio!
Moreover, the tree friends gave so much!
"Let's accept the investment from Shuyou!" Takahata Isao continued, "Director Ido over there said that in addition to the tasks assigned by the company, we can also serve as an independent working group and independently choose the direction of the film we want to produce."
"Shuyou Films." Miyazaki Hayao said indignantly, "What do they know about animation?! They have never tried animation! Setting up an animation department is just a casual attempt!"
"Isn't there Slam Dunk?!" Takahata continued, "This manga is actually very good."
"Comics and animation are two different things!"
"That's why we have to guide them!"
As a good friend, Takahata Isao knew that Miyazaki was a very stubborn person, so he could only persuade him from the side.
"You know, if we go there, we'll be the director of the animation department, on the same level as the current manga director Gosho Aoyama!"
"."
Miyazaki remained silent after hearing this.
In fact, almost no one who has tried to start a business will return to the workplace. After experiencing freedom, no one wants to continue to be a slave who obeys orders.
"Miyazaki, why don't you just treat this as an outsourcing!"
Takahata Isao changed direction.
"Let's help Shuyou make an animated film and make some money to pay off our debts. After we make enough money, we'll go back to Studio Ghibli!"
"." Listening to his good friend's consolation, Miyazaki finally sighed, "Okay, let's join the tree friends for the time being!"
"it is good!"
Isao Takahata is alive again.
"I'll call back right now!"
“Hayao Miyazaki of Studio Ghibli.”
The first person to receive the news was Yoshimura Otomo. After all, Idou Shuichi was occasionally away, and investment matters still required the approval of him, the executive CEO, before the money could be transferred.
"Is that the one Naoki-san mentioned?!"
In fact, Yoshimura Otomo didn't have a good impression of Hayao Miyazaki, because Shuyou had talked to him several times, but that guy always disagreed. And in Yoshimura Otomo's view, he was just an ordinary animation producer.
"I don't know what potential I have that makes Naoki-san think so highly of me."
Seeing that it was already evening, Yoshimura Otomo stood up and stretched.
"Never mind. Let Naoki-san think about this matter. He should be in the editing room now."
Thinking of conveying the news to Naoki Nagayama himself, Yoshimura Otomo came directly to the editing room. Since returning from visiting Masataka Komori in the morning, Naoki Nagayama went directly into the editing room, saying that he would help out for a few days.
When Yoshimura Otomo opened the door, he saw Naoki Nagayama sitting in the middle, and several other people were surrounding him and watching
"So when we part, we must wave from behind. This is the feeling of a prodigal son!"
Naoki Nagayama was operating the editing desk while talking to Nishimoto Banyuki and others.
"Just like a real man never looks back at an explosion, a truly free and easy person will never look back at parting!"
He was editing the scene where Leslie Cheung turned around and waved in a leather jacket, which is one of the most classic shots in "A Love So Beautiful".
Since he is the one overseeing the editing now, this shot must be edited in!
At this time, Nishimoto Banyuki and others finally discovered the difference between Naoyama Naoki's editing and Komori Masataka's editing.
When Komori Masataka was editing, he had to constantly think about which shots would perform best and what would reflect the character arc, and sometimes he had to re-edit the material; while when Nagayama Naoki was editing, he kept going through it all the time, as if he already had a finished picture in his mind.
This way the efficiency of editing will be greatly improved~
"Naoki-san!" Yoshimura Otomo called out softly, causing everyone to turn their heads.
"Ah, Otomo-san."
Naoki Nagayama realized that Yoshimura Otomo wanted to talk to him about something, so he asked the others to rest for a while, and he and Otomo went to the corridor.
"What's wrong? Is Otomo-san here to remind me not to work overtime?"
"Oh, I wish you would work overtime!" Yoshimura Otomo laughed, and then said, "It's about the Studio Ghibli incident."
"They responded and are willing to accept the investment from Shuyou, but they want to meet with the person in charge of the animation business to discuss the details. Because Naoki-san has been paying close attention to it, I was wondering if you would like to meet them?"
"Hayao Miyazaki." Naoki Nagayama touched his chin and thought for a moment, "Okay. Let's go meet him!"
"Then I'll tell them to come over tomorrow?"
"No, I'll just go to Studio Ghibli!"
Naoki Nagayama shook his head and said that he also wanted to see what the earliest Studio Ghibli looked like.
"Show your sincerity~"
"."
Generally speaking, shouldn’t investors be superior?! Shouldn’t investors show sincerity?!
"Speaking of which, should we be considered as the A-round angel investor of Studio Ghibli?" Naoki Nagayama thought divergently, "They seem to have successfully produced a movie, and it seems that Tokuma Shoten invested in it, so should it be considered as the B-round?"
Fangcun Dayou didn't understand what round A and round B meant:
"Naoki-san what are you talking about?"
"Haha, nothing. I'll take Aoyama Gosho with me tomorrow. As both of us are painters, we should have more topics to talk about," Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "Shuuichi-san probably doesn't have time~"
Yoshimura Otomo sighed, Naoki-san really knows who is the most idle person among the tree friends~
"Hey, I'll have someone prepare it."
Next, we will arrange the time and the vehicles, and the General Affairs Department will help us prepare them.
