Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 983 992, The situation has changed, Mina-san!!

Naturally, Naoki Nagayama, a tree friend, got the news first and then received a call from Akina. He also knew that Ken-On was going to use legal means to protect his rights.

However, I can't just do nothing on my side!

Naoki Nagayama called Inada Masatomi, who happened to be in the Shuyou Building, and handed him this issue of Weekly Bunshun to read.

"Naoki-san, is there a traitor in the filming team?"

This was also Inada Masatomi's first thought, because the security on the wedding day was so comprehensive. Not to mention the Yakuza, the company had also made sufficient preparations in other areas.

"It shouldn't be. The wedding company has signed a very strict confidentiality agreement. If they breach the contract, they will lose everything. Maybe even go to jail." Naoki Nagayama said, "I think it was done by some daring paparazzi."

"Is there such a thing?"

Inada Masatomi is no novice in the entertainment industry. He has been involved in many candid photos and handled many media events. But he was very surprised by such a brave paparazzi. He even admired him a little.

In the feudal era, this would definitely be the level of a top scout or assassin!

"Yamin-kun, you are familiar with the media, please help me find out who is so brave and how he did it." Naoyama Naoki said, "After that, Ken-On will file a lawsuit for infringement, but I..."

Naoki Nagayama thought for a moment and then said:

"Let's wait until the results come out and see what to do~"

"Hi!" Inada Masatomi stood up and said, "I'll check it out right away."

"Hmm~"

Actually, now that their wedding photos have been leaked, it is a carnival for the entertainment industry and fans, but for the two of them, it is not a big impact, nor is it negative news. At most, the attention continues to rise a little~

However, it was a blow to Naoki Nagayama's own reputation.

I've made all the preparations, but someone still managed to take a photo and send it out? If I don't do anything about it, then I'm not going to save my face anymore~

After Inada Masatomi left, Naoki Nagayama stopped thinking about these things for the time being. Instead, he returned to the editing room and devoted himself to the editing work of "Hayato".

"Zheng Xiao-kun, give me the footage of the bloody fight in the parking lot."

"Eh?" Komori Masataka unexpectedly brought the filming materials to Naoyama Naoki, "Naoki-san, aren't we going to edit the beginning of the movie today?"

“Haha, I don’t know why, but I suddenly want to edit some scenes with blood flying everywhere~” Naoki Nagayama said with a smile.

"."

As the end of the year approaches, the entertainment industry is once again dominated by news about the Nagayama couple.

However, the increasingly turbulent public opinion did not affect the newlyweds who were at the eye of the storm, but instead had an impact on some other people.

After returning to work, Naoki Nagayama did receive many invitations. The invitation letters were even enough to fill up the letter box at the front desk.

All the year-end programs want to get a piece of the pie due to his popularity.

Fuji TV invited him to be a guest at the "Annual Chinese Character" ceremony, TBS invited him to participate in the awards ceremony of the Song Festival, Asahi TV wanted to invite him to be a guest at the end of the year New Year program, and NHK invited him to participate in the live broadcast of the Red and White Songs Contest.

There was even an invitation letter from Sensoji Temple, hoping to invite him to participate in the New Year's temple fair's blessing ceremony. It turned out that these Japanese monks were just as good at making money as businesses.

With a somewhat helpless expression on his face, Naoki Nagayama was flipping through a pile of invitation letters in his office. These were all selected by the General Affairs Department. Regardless of whether he went or not, he needed to reply. And it had to be handwritten!

These are all big names in the entertainment industry, especially in TV stations. You can't refuse them with clichés, otherwise you will offend people!

“There’s never been such a thing before.”

Naoki Nagayama sighed. In fact, he had already arranged his New Year's schedule this year: to go to the Red and White Song Festival!

Because Akina will be participating in the Red and White Song Contest this year!

During the period until the end of the year, he needs to edit movies at Shuyou, and he has no time to participate in other activities, and he doesn't want to go!

"Why hasn't Otomo-san come back yet?" Nagayama Naoki thought of Yoshimura Otomo again, "Otherwise I can ask him to come back for me!"

"Dong Dong~"

There was a knock on the office door.

Kimie Ochiai from the General Affairs Department came in:

"Naoki-san, this is another invitation."

"There's more~~" Naoki Nagayama said with a bitter face, "It's almost time to get off work, and you're still adding more tasks?!"

"Haha, Naoki-san, this is just the beginning!" Ochiai Kiie smiled and put the invitation letter on Naoki Nagayama's desk, then handed him a stack of documents, "Naoki-san, these are the final confirmation forms for this year's year-end bonus. Otomo-san has already looked at it once, and asked you to take another look!"

"Otomo-san? Isn't he away?"

"He told me this over the phone," said Ochiai Kimie. "Otomo-san was looking at this form a few days ago."

Naoki Nagayama nodded after hearing this and flipped through a few pages at random.

In fact, for such matters, he only needs to pay attention to the year-end bonuses of several middle and senior executives, and then sign them at the end. Anyway, there will be repeated discussions and reviews before that.

But this year

"Kie-chan," Naoki Nagayama said to Kie Ochiai, "This form is not acceptable!"

"???"

Kimie Ochiai was surprised to see that her own president had only glanced at her at most in the past few years!

"I guess I have to do it again because I need to make major adjustments to the year-end bonus distribution plan!" said Naoki Nagayama.

Ochiai Kiie's expression became visibly sad. They had worked overtime for several weeks to make this form. You actually want to make drastic adjustments now?!

What have you been doing so far!!!

Facing Kimie Ochiai's resentful eyes, Naoki Nagayama was not worried at all, because he knew that his next words would definitely make her happy again!

"Because everyone has been working very hard this year, one project after another, I have decided to double everyone's year-end bonus this year!!!"

“Double?!!”

The transformation that Naoki Nagayama saw when he looked at Kie Ochiai's expression changed from sorrow to disbelief and then to ecstasy could definitely be included in an acting textbook!

"Well, although I haven't discussed it with Otomo-san yet, I'm in charge. Let everyone have a good New Year!"

"." Ochiai Kiie didn't know what to say for a moment.

"So this form needs to be redone!" Naoki Nagayama returned the form to Kimie Ochiai, "Remember, the new bonus should be deducted directly from my share, and don't touch other people's!"

"Hi!!!"

Watching Kimie Ochiai excitedly walk out of the office, Naoki Nagayama shook his head, thinking that he, as a capitalist, was not heartless enough!

They even deducted it from their own share.

Although the year-end bonuses of these subordinates only account for about 10% of his total, and although he has earned thousands of times more in the US foreign exchange market, this is also cutting his own flesh!

"Isn't this considered cutting my own flesh to feed the eagle?"

At this time, a meeting related to Naoki Nagayama was in progress.

The Japan Academy Awards Association is holding its final communication meeting~

The list of finalists for the film awards has been announced, and if there are no doubts, it can be released. This communication meeting is mainly to confirm the next judging committee and the awards ceremony early next year.

"I still propose Naoki Nagayama as the chairman of the jury this time."

Vice President Tanaka Tomoyuki said,

"Although Naoki-san is very young, as the most representative and outstanding young director in the current Japanese film industry, he has the qualifications both in terms of reputation and contribution to the film industry!"

The other members of the Academy of Film Awards Association sitting in the conference room, some nodded, some looked silent, and some looked disdainful.

"He has too little experience," an old member said, "We should still be cautious about the judges of the Academy Awards."

"Young and inexperienced?" Shinoda Masahiro was also a member. "Among you with more experience, has anyone ever won the Palme d'Or?!"

Just one sentence made everyone else present speechless. This sentence hit the mark!

"You can't say that." "The Palme d'Or is just a foreign award." "Our films focus on the domestic market." "A niche film doesn't necessarily mean it lacks depth." "."

Whispering speeches flowed among a group of members. The voices were not loud, but they could be heard clearly.

Shinoda Masahiro was not going to tolerate these guys, and he said again:

"This year's Tokyo International Film Festival has made the world's film industry focus on Neon! Who here can compare to such an achievement?!"

"."

Everyone didn't know how to refute for a moment. After all, the influence of the Tokyo International Film Festival was obvious to all, and no one had any reason to say no.

But if a guy like Naoki Nagayama were to become the chairman of the jury, would a group of older senior film industry bosses listen to a young man in his twenties?

I feel unhappy no matter how I think about it!

He is only in his twenties and he is already standing above them. So won't he have to be under the shadow of Naoki Nagayama for the next 40 to 50 years? !

It’s even a question whether many of them can live another 20 years!

"Ahem. We cannot deny the contribution and honor of Director Nagayama," said Kinji Fukasaku, who hadn't seen him for a long time. "But Nagayama Naoki is indeed too young."

"You see, the news of his marriage to Akina Nakamori has been spreading everywhere recently. If such a person steals the spotlight is appointed as the chairman of the jury, the authority of the Academy Awards may be affected!"

It seems that he is considering the fairness and authority of the Academy Awards, but in fact he is saying that Naoki Nagayama is too frivolous and unstable, and is not suitable to lead the jury.

Shinoda Masahiro wanted to speak but was stopped by his friend.

If we continue to support Naoki Nagayama, it will be counterproductive. They might even point the gun at Masahiro Shinoda himself!

Ishikawa Fumio, who was sitting below, saw the look from Tanaka Tomoyuki and immediately understood what he meant:

"Everyone, there is a reality that everyone needs to understand."

"The ratings of our Academy Awards ceremony have dropped significantly in recent years. And we have several competitors eyeing us. The Blue Ribbon, Mainichi Film Awards, and the Junpo Film Awards."

Seeing that he had attracted the members' attention, Ishikawa Fumio continued:

"As the most accessible young director in the film industry and the most popular celebrity in the entertainment industry, Naoki Nagayama will bring the highest attention to any competition he participates in."

"Everyone, now it's not about us choosing Naoki Nagayama. It's about whether Naoki Nagayama is willing to choose the Japan Academy Award!"

"The situation has changed, Mina-san!!!"

"."

These words made the senior members present think carefully!

Any film competition needs an audience and attention!

Only in this way can there be advertising revenue, ticket revenue, and even various private incomes, and only in this way can the competition be held. Film competitions are for profit, not charity!

The Academy Award Association is the organizing organization of the Academy Awards, and the employees in the organization also need to be paid!

Indeed, with Naoki Nagayama's current fame and status, participating in any major competition will bring extremely high attention to the competition.

He could even host a film contest himself.

Ah, it has already been held, and the results of the grand prize of the Tokyo International Film Festival have spread all over the world!!!

"That makes sense." "Director Nagayama can really bring heat to the competition."

"Whether we can invite Naoki Nagayama is a question." "Yes, Naoki Nagayama is a bit of a loner."

"Is there anyone among you who is close to Naoki Nagayama?!" "Ah, isn't Director Masahiro Shinoda very familiar with Naoki Nagayama?!"

"."

Seeing that the conversation was rapidly changing in another direction, Masahiro Shinoda sneered.

Sure enough, nothing can compare to real benefits!

However, Naoki Nagayama's influence is indeed worth these guys changing their minds!

After returning to Yamaozurain in the evening, Naoki Nagayama and Akina also talked about what happened during the day.

In the warm living room, the newlyweds, after dinner, leaned together as usual, watching TV and chatting. They looked like an old couple who had been married for more than ten years.

"He actually got in. Naoki-san, did you notice anyone suspicious that day?"

"Except for the little brother standing guard outside the temple, the people inside were either relatives or monks," Naoki Nagayama recalled, "I really didn't notice any strange people."

"But then there were more people coming to the wedding banquet. Could it be the same person?"

"Could it be a gang crime?"

"It's possible but we'll know soon. I'll ask Yamin-kun to investigate!"

After talking for a while, Yama Sakurain's phone suddenly rang. Naoki Naoki picked up the phone and listened to a few words, then his eyes suddenly widened.

"I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Yamin-kun."

After hanging up the phone, Naoki Nagayama met Akina's curious eyes and told her the news he had just received.

"He was a reporter from Weekly Bunshun. He actually went to the family temple to become a monk more than half a month in advance!!! Then he pretended to be a monk and took our wedding photos!!!"

"!!!" Mingcai also opened her eyes wide, "Becoming a monk?"

"Yes. I heard that he even shaved his hair and had a formal tonsure ceremony!" Naoki Nagayama was deeply moved. This guy is definitely a ruthless person!

Then he remembered a person, a monk who was temporarily called by the photography team to provide lighting.

It seemed that there was something very wrong with the monk's eyes at that time!

"Akina, do you remember that when we were taking our wedding photos, a monk was called to help?" Naoki Nagayama said.

"Well, he doesn't seem to like talking much, and his face looks very serious."

At that time, Mingcai thought that the monks in the temple were so solemn and dignified.

"Among the secretly taken photos, there are photos of our wedding and wedding banquet. The only thing missing is the photo of the two of us taking wedding anniversary photos in the temple."

"Naoki-san, are you saying that's the person?"

Akina sat up.

"It should be right!"

"."

After locking in the suspect, Naoki Nagayama began to think about how to punish the person who secretly filmed his privacy.

A beating seems a bit light.

Is the private room in Tokyo Bay a bit too much?
