...

The news about tree friends has always been of great concern to the entertainment industry.

In the first half of May, news suddenly spread in the industry that Shuyou Pictures was going to enter the animation industry, which made some critics laugh.

"Shuyou Pictures? Draw comics?" "They shoot movies very well, why do they draw comics?" "Isn't "Tiger of Ginza" filming..." "Where did the gossip come from?

Credibility!” “…..”

Everyone agreed that this was nonsense. Now that Shuyou Pictures’ movie business is booming, with an average box office of more than one billion per movie, is it necessary to make an animation that costs hundreds of millions?!

However, all these rumors were put to shame by a recruitment notice from Shuyou.

"Shuyou Animation Studio sincerely invites talented people..."

The recruitment notice in the newspaper caught everyone off guard, and then from the mouths of Shuyou's two giants, Yoshimura Otomo and Itou Shuichi, people heard about Shuyou's next move, which was to acquire an animation production company!

"This is true!" "I've already said it, so there shouldn't be any lies!"

"This must be Naoki Nagayama's decision!"

An elderly executive like Otomo Yoshimura would definitely not want to focus on animation, while Shuichi Itou is a film school student and has never heard of any research on animation.

Everyone suddenly discovered the blind spot. The person who made such a big change in Shuyou's operations must be the uncertain young man!

Nagayama Naoki is a guy who likes to mess around, including music creation, novel writing, film shooting, and even variety show production and event planning. He seems to want everything...

But the key is, this guy seems to have achieved very good results in every field!

Gold medal musician, Naoki Award winner, Palme d'Or winner, longevity music producer, Tokyo International Film Festival founder... Naoki Nagayama has left admirable traces in every field he has stepped into.

"Could it be that...will he do something big in the animation industry this time?!"

"No, no, no... no one can be so powerful!" "This guy Naoki Nagayama, maybe!"

Even though Nagayama Naoki didn't say "I'll bet all my honors and achievements in the first half of my life to fight for animation," everyone has no doubt that if he sets foot in the animation industry, he will definitely make big moves that will attract people's attention!

In this way, Naoki Nagayama single-handedly made the word anime popular, which is reflected in the financial world. Even animation-related stocks have risen more or less, and even Bandai, which makes anime peripheral toys, has also

A little increase.

Toei's head office, Ogasawara Takafumi, naturally also learned the news:

"I just said that guy Shuichi Itou was coming to visit and study at an animation company owned by Toei! It turns out that he really wanted to enter the animation industry..."

The promoted assistant Toru Nakano said next to him:

"Director Shuichi Itou, isn't it to understand the production of animated films, but to enter the animation industry..."

"From comics to animation to animated movies, these are completely different fields!"

Ogasawara Takabumi shook his head:

"Let's start from the beginning... Anyway, Naoki Nagayama, a tree friend, is so young, he still has a long time to live!"

Speaking of this, Ogasawara Takafumi was very jealous. Even with the blessing of his family background, he did not occupy a senior executive position at Toei until he was in his forties.

And that guy Naoki Nagayama actually became the president of the Tree Friends Group in his twenties.

When he thought that this guy would be one of the top figures in the entertainment industry in the next few decades, he felt a little angry.

"Naoki Nagayama has the patience and ability to cultivate Shuyou's tentacles in the animation industry!"

Even he had never thought about what great achievements Shuyu's animation department would make in one or two years... You must know that Toei's animation department acquired the earliest animation company and cultivated thirty

It took many years to get to where I am now.

"The animation industry is not something that can be achieved casually. In addition to long-term accumulation, it also requires a keen eye to find a talented cartoonist like Osamu Tezuka..."

Akito Sack, Nagayama Naoki, this guy is a famous genius!

Ogasawara Takafumi subconsciously shut up and looked at Nakano Tohru next to him:

"You said...Naoki Nagayama is not even talented at painting, right?!"

"Ah...this..."

Actually it’s not impossible!

........

Naoki Nagayama, whom everyone was talking about, was currently in the reception room of Shogakukan.

Editor-in-chief Kunji Morikawa was sitting opposite him and talking:

"Naoki-san, the novel "Tokyo Love Story", under the influence of the TV series, has experienced another sales peak, and it has been reprinted for the fourth time now!"

"This is already a very good result for a novel that has only been published for a few months!" Kuniji Morikawa said with a smile on his face. His performance indicators for this year were completed in the first half of the year!

"Haha, this is also thanks to Shogakukan's efforts in promoting it."

Naoki Nagayama expressed his gratitude to Kuniji Morikawa. Without their months-long advertising warm-up in various stores, the TV series of the same name "Tokyo Love Story" would not be so popular.

After looking at the royalty details form in his hand, Naoki Nagayama signed his name and then took the remittance form.

Although to him, the tens of millions of shares brought by the novel are nothing, but who would dislike having too much money?!

Even as rich as he is now, if he sees a ten-yen coin dropped on the road, he will bend down to pick it up!

"Naoki-san, do you have any ideas for a new book recently?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing the remittance slip that Naoki Nagayama had collected, Kuniji Morikawa smiled and took up his editorial duties and began to urge updates.

"..."

Nagayama Naoki was helpless,

"Kuniji-san, "Tokyo Love Story" has only been published for a few months...it's impossible for cows to produce milk every day!"

"OK!"

"...."

The more I get to know him, the more I feel that this guy Morikawa Kuniji has a playful face!

But after chatting for a while, Naoki Nagayama seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked:

"Kuniji-san, can Shogakukan publish comics?"

"Hi... we own "Weekly Shōnen Sunday"" Kuniji Morikawa was a little surprised, "What's wrong? Do any of Naoki-san's friends want to publish comics?"

"If it's Naoki-san's friend, I can make the decision and give him a position directly!"

It can be said that Kuniji Morikawa now worships Nagayama Naoki as a god. In order to tie Nagayama Naoki and Shogakukan closer, what happened to giving him a chance to appear in a magazine?!

Even if it's a front-page headline, our Shogakukan can still come up with a gimmick to encourage amateur cartoonists and have the cartoons printed!

If it doesn’t work, just publish a separate book!

"Haha, not really friends."

Naoki Nagayama waved his hand,

"Actually, our tree friends have established a comic studio and plan to expand into the animation industry in the second half of the year..."

"Shuyou... set up a comic studio?" Kuniji Morikawa looked at Naoki Nagayama in confusion, and then seemed to think of other places, "Is it Naoki-san, you want to draw comics for fun?!"

"Ahem, cough, cough, it's not me, it's not me!"

Nagayama Naoki quickly explained that it would be bad if he was misunderstood that he wanted to be a cartoonist.

"It's an animation studio owned by Shuyou!"

"Ah...that's right..." Kuniji Morikawa nodded, "Then what type of comics will be published?"

"The sports show should be called "Slam Dunk"?"

"Sports show, sports show is fine!" Kuniji Morikawa laughed, "Weekly Shōnen Sunday" is famous for its sports show, "Who is the main writer?"

"Main author?"

"Well, who came up with the idea?"

"Um... I just mentioned this casually, it's just a direction, but the creation is completed by the animation studio!"

Morikawa Kunji was stunned for a moment and continued to ask:

"Where's the synopsis of the story?"

“When I came up with ideas, I also wrote some outlines...just for reference!”

"Oh, then who drew the character prototype?"

"Um...this is me too. When I was coming up with ideas before, I drew a few random characters...but it was just an introduction. The specific paintings were all done by others!"

Kuniji Morikawa looked at Nagayama Naoki with some confusion, and finally asked:

"So...who will review the final work?"

"Ah..." Nagayama Naoki seemed to realize the problem and whispered, "It should be me..."

"...."

Nagayama Naoki, you said you don’t want to draw comics?!
