.......

The cherry blossoms at Yamazakura-in are in full bloom, and when the wind blows, the flakes fall down, just like a scene in an anime.

Especially when it has been cloudy recently, the gloomy and sad feeling is really amazing.

"Sure enough, it's the most beautiful time..." Nagayama Naoki took a few photos of the cherry blossoms in his yard and was very happy. "Let me think about it, should I invite someone to come over and hold a cherry blossom viewing party...

..."

Inviting people to your home for a gathering is a very intimate way of socializing...

"Otomo-san and the others will definitely be called over, as well as Wonta-san..." Nagayama Naoki planned the possible invitation list, "And Brother Kaede... Forget it Tsuruko

, I’m still in the ivory tower and have nothing to talk about with people in society.”

After spending a long time in the deserted Yamazakura-in, Naoki Nagayama was not used to the feeling of being alone. In the past half month, Akina and I could be said to be together every day, and there was also a large group of staff, so every day was lively and lively.

Noisy.

After returning to Yamasakura-in, only the cherry blossom trees in the courtyard stayed with him~

"Forget it, it's not just me, I can't just go to the mountain!" Naoki Nagayama, who was lying on the sofa, immediately sat up straight and walked towards his carport.

.......

There are fewer and fewer people in the studio of Shuyou Group now, because two movies in Ota District are about to start shooting, and many employees go directly to the DreamWorks there to work.

Xing Jiahua, who was working very leisurely, saw her boss, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, walk in at the door, and her eyes lit up:

"Naoki-san, you're back!"

"Yes." Naoki Nagayama responded with a smile, "The location recording of the show has been completed~"

"Then when will it be released?" Xing Jiahua's smile became even brighter, "I really want to see Naoki-san and Akina-chan on stage together."

"Haha, I guess you can see it at the end of the month."

There are also some indoor shots. I'll go shoot them tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and they should be completely finished.

After chatting with the little girl at the front desk for a while, Nagayama Naoki arrived in the office. Sure enough, Yoshimura Otomo was sitting at the desk like a thumbtack.

"Otomo-san..." Naoki Nagayama was about to speak but stopped.

"What's wrong?" Yoshimura Otomo was a little excited when he saw Nagayama Naoki coming back, but now, why does he feel like the guy opposite is secretly scolding him in his heart?

"I always feel that your posture is exactly the same as when I left..." Nagayama Naoki complained, "Did Otomo-san just sit here for the past half month? Didn't you get up and relax?"

"..."

Hearing such words suddenly, Yoshimura Otomo did not react for a moment. It was not until ten seconds later that he realized what Naoki Nagayama was talking about.

"Naoki-san!" Yoshimura Otomo's voice lowered, "Now that you have discovered it, tell me who caused me to work so hard in the office all day long!"

Naoki Nagayama froze in his chair. He also realized that it seemed that because he, the president, was running around, his head of department took on a lot of work that did not belong to him...

However, this pot must be thrown away: "It must be because Shuichi-san is not doing his job properly!!! That's why Otomo-san has so much work!"

"Shuichi-san?!"

Yoshimura Otomo was deeply surprised by the shamelessness of the guy in front of him. You actually have the nerve to say Shuichi Itou?! He went to the DreamWorks in Ota District early in the morning to check the progress of the set!

And I am still busy with the preview screening of "The Blue Sea", and I will go to various cities to promote it...

Compared to him, Naoki Nagayama, you are traveling around leisurely with your girlfriend!!!

Don't tell me what kind of recording program it is! I've asked about it, Chun Chun is just going on a trip!

Nagayama Naoki here was still talking shamelessly and said loudly:

"That's right, it's Xiu Yisang! Let's despise Xiu Yisang together!"

"..."

Just when Yoshimura Otomo was about to resist the overwhelming power in his body, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

"What's wrong with me?" As soon as Yi Tangxiu walked in, "I heard Naoki-san calling my name at the door. Do you miss me so much?"

"...."

For a moment, both people in the office were embarrassed. (Yangmura Otomo: Why should I be embarrassed?)

How does it feel to be caught in the act when speaking ill of others? It's like being in the shower and suddenly the door is opened, and you are the only one naked and illuminated by the spotlight, surrounded by a pair of lewd people.

Eyes...

"Ahem!" Nagayama Naoki quickly adjusted, "Haha, yes, Shuichi-san, long time no see! I miss you so much! What, you just came back?"

Seeing Naoki Nagayama put on a smiling face seamlessly, Otomo Yoshimura once again refreshed the thickness of Naoki Nagayama's face!

"Hi, I just went to DreamWorks for an inspection this morning." Itou Shuichi sat down and said, "Masataka-kun and the others filmed very smoothly, and the scenes of "Midnight Bell 2" are almost complete."

"So, it will be ready for production soon!" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile.

"Yes, yes~ after I finish the promotion of "Blue Sea", I can start filming." Itou Shuichi said.

Nagayama Naoki asked in surprise: "When will it be released?"

"Preview tomorrow..."

"so fast!"

The two of them chatted for a while in the office about the release promotion of "Blue Sea". Itou Shuichi decided to go to the art theater route this time, and the trial screening was also scheduled to be at Iwanami Cinema.

He also knows that such a literary film may lose a lot of box office, but it is very good for film awards and other aspects.

"Naoki-san, speaking of..." Itou Shuichi suddenly said to Nagayama Naoki, "Do you still want to fight for this year's Blue Ribbon and Film Academy Awards?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yoshimura Otomo also chimed in: "The box office of "The Summer of Kikujiro" in the first month is expected to reach 3.5 billion, and it will definitely exceed 5 billion by the end of the year...

This box office is definitely capable of reaching the top three in the annual movie box office list!"

"Yes, this is a very important indicator."

Itou Shuichi also agreed and said that an award-winning movie can be niche and artistic, but the box office performance is definitely a major criterion for judging.

Naoki Nagayama was hesitant: "But, I just won the Film Academy Award the year before last...and the Blue Ribbon last year...I probably won't be chosen for these two awards this year~

"

"this......"

There is indeed such a tradition or unspoken rule that film awards will not be awarded to the same director or producer consecutively.

Yi Tangxiu paused for a moment and then said: "Naoki-san, I can contact my mentor and other friends. Shuyou also has a lot of network resources... As long as we go all out, it is definitely possible.

Break this tradition!"

Nagayama Naoki thought for a while and shook his head:

"Forget it, Neon people respect tradition the most. It is really difficult to break this kind of thing... Besides, I have already won these two awards, so there is nothing curious about it...

..."

"But Naoki-san, "The Summer of Kikujiro" is obviously much higher than other films this year, and it is well-deserved to win both awards..."

Itou Shuichi wanted to say something else, but Yoshimura Otomo stopped him:

"Shuichi-san, Naoki-san means that he has already won those two awards... He wants to take the one he has never won!"

"Huh?" Itou Shuyi was stunned, and then he reacted, "Naoki-san, you mean... to compete for the Palme d'Or?!"

"Well...we have tried Oscar once before. It is difficult...but we are still somewhat confident about the Palme d'Or!" Naoki Nagayama nodded.

While others are still setting their goals domestically, Naoki Nagayama has already begun to move towards the international world!

Naoki-san, is this your ambition?!

Itou Xiuyi felt that his energy seemed to be getting excited:

“Hey, Naoki-san, let’s start from now on and go all out to hit the Palme d’Or!!!

I can ask for a recommendation spot from my mentor...Wait a minute, we can also use the contacts of the Ministry of Culture to have "Kikujiro's Summer" directly submitted for selection, so that it can be said to be selected instead of Neon! The chance will be much greater!

"

However, Nagayama Naoki was not as excited as him, and instead said:

"These are all methods... But first, let's win the Film Festival Awards first. We need to be famous first... The three major film awards must be collected...

.”

"Hahaha, Naoki-san has indeed made a plan! We will definitely win the Palme d'Or!"

Shuichi Itou seems to have been immersed in the fantasy of winning the prize!

.......

Being pulled by Yoshimura Otomo to deal with some daily matters, Nagayama Naoki returned to Yamazakura in the evening.

But I have already seen a small blue Porsche parked in front of the garage - Akina Nakamori has arrived!

After entering the house, Naoki Nagayama found Akina busy in the kitchen, put on an apron and cooked dinner like a little wife...

"I'm back~" Nagayama Naoki called in the entrance hall.
