...

At the door of Shuyou, I met Yoshimura Otomo and Inada Masamin, looking happy and about to go out.

"Naoki-san!" Inada Masamin greeted enthusiastically, "Are you... just here?"

It’s now 10:46 a.m. Tokyo time. It’s been more than two hours since I got to work, and I still have lunch in an hour!

"Um...."

Nagayama Naoki is not embarrassed at all. After all, he is the boss, so what’s wrong with being late? Even if he doesn’t come, who can control me?!

Who can care?! (Say it twice, showing emphasis and arrogance!)

"Otomo-san, Masamin-kun, are you going out together?" Nagayama Naoki looked at the two people with some curiosity.

"Yeah... let's go to the record company." Yoshimura Otomo said, "The previous publicity plan seemed a bit too conservative."

"?"

Masamin Inada explained excitedly:

"News came from Fuji TV... After yesterday's "Night Hit" was broadcast, the number of viewers who called the TV station doubled, and they were all asking about Kudo Shizuka's new song "I Want to Say I Love You Loudly"

.

Moreover, the phone calls at Shuyou Office have not been disconnected this morning, with people asking when the record will be sold.

We went to do some research and found that many fans talked about this song, and many people in record stores asked about the record of "I Want to Say I Love You Loudly"..."

Yoshimura Otomo patted Nagayama Naoki on the shoulder:

"Naoki-san, your new song looks like it has the potential to become the best-selling song of the year!"

"..."

Nagayama Naoki shrugged and didn't take it seriously... Songs that were popular in Asia in his previous life, isn't this kind of thing very common~

In the eyes of others such as Xing Jiahua and Suzuki Yukina in the tree friends hall, Naoki Nagayama is like being indifferent... We should also learn from Naoki Nagayama when educating children in the future!

"Anyway, Naoki-san, Masaaki-kun and I will go to the record company first to triple the original promotion plan..." Seeing that the car waiting at the door has been parked, Yoshimura Otomo said to Nagayama Naoki,

"I'll discuss the idea for this song with you later, the girl in basketball uniforms, etc... I'll discuss it with you later!"

"...Okay~"

Watching the two people leave in a hurry, Nagayama Naoki and the little sister at the front desk nodded, preparing to go upstairs to put away their things before going to the editing room.

However, I noticed that the two girls looked at each other a little strangely:

"Hua Jiang, why do you look at me with something wrong?"

"..." Xing Jiahua and Suzuki Yukina pulled each other, but still showed a smile and said to Nagayama Naoki, "Naoki-san... Do you men like to see people wearing basketball uniforms?

Girls??”

"...."

This is, I want to cross it... Nagayama Naoki said very seriously:

"No, you are completely wrong!"

"What we men like...are girls wearing basketball uniforms...with good figures and good looks!!!"

"!!!"∑(っ°Д°;)っ

In the astonished expressions of the two of them, Naoki Nagayama walked briskly onto the elevator... The good mood of the day started by teasing the girl at the front desk!

........

He didn't stay in the office for long. After Naoki Nagayama adjusted a little, he came to the editing room.

"Matsuo-kun." After opening the door, he saw Matsuo Souo working hard, "You came very early~"

"Naoki-san..." Matsuo Souo stood up, "It's not that early, just like everyone else..."

Naoki Nagayama was unable to continue this topic for a while:

"Zong Shengjun, when the boss praises you, just smile and nod~"

"Ah?" "Ah!...Hi!" "Arigado!"

"Hmm~"

Nagayama Naoki nodded and began to look at the work at hand. The fourth episode of "Midnight Diner" seems to have been completed ~

"Zongsheng-kun, let's edit together~"

Without saying much, Naoki Nagayama sat down and continued editing "Midnight Diner" with Souo Matsuo.

As time goes by, the sun in the sky becomes more and more enthusiastic, and the hottest time of the day has quietly arrived... Naoki Nagayama had just eaten breakfast not long ago, but Souo Matsuo's stomach had already started to growl.

Cooed.

"Naoki-san..." Matsuo Souo originally wanted to persist, but working intensively with Nagayama Naoki made him feel a little confused.

"?"

"I'm going to replenish some energy first."

"Ah!" Nagayama Naoki looked at his watch and realized that it was almost past dinner time, "It's already this time... Sosei-kun, hurry up and go..."

"Then Naoki-san, you..."

"I just ate it not long ago~"

After Souo Matsuo left, Naoki Nagayama also returned to the office to rest. But often when he wants to rest, a lot of things will come to his door...

"Dong dong~"

After two knocks on the door, Itou Shuichi pushed open the office door:

"Naoki-san... don't stay in the office, come with me to meet the people of Kadokawa!"

"? Haruki-san?" Naoki Nagayama thought of him immediately.

"Um!"

Yi Tangxiu smiled,

"Haruki-san invited me to dinner at the French restaurant in the Shinjuku building..."

"You guys who eat and drink with public funds..." Nagayama Naoki complained, "What are you going to do at this meeting?"

"Of course we are discussing the preparations for the Tokyo International Film Festival!" Itou Shuichi has already finished shooting "Squid Game" and this stage happens to be free time.

"Tokyo International Film Festival... Is there anything else to discuss?"

Nagayama Naoki is a little strange. Haven't the preparations been discussed in detail? Now the offline preparations are in progress...

In the cultural center of Shibuya, the Tokyo International Film Festival venue is already under construction!

"Of course!" Yi Tangxiu said with a serious face, "Things related to awards need to be considered!"

"Award? Shouldn't this be judged by the jury led by Imamura Shohei..." Nagayama Naoki stopped mid-sentence, looked at Itou Shuichi's incomprehensible look, and couldn't help but let out a sigh...

.This dirty vanity fair!

How can it be possible for no matter which award in the entertainment industry to be judged entirely by the judges?!

The award has been decided long before the assessment!!!

"Naoki-san...you have won so many awards, don't you understand why?" Itou Shuichi looked at Naoki Nagayama who looked like he had eaten something bad, and was a little surprised.

"I know..." Naoki Nagayama stood up, "But that doesn't mean I like it!"

"..."

Itou Shuichi shook his head. Once upon a time, he was also a young man who regarded these awards as the holy grail of perfection. Unfortunately, now, he has become one of the people sitting behind the scenes to decide who will win the award...

People will eventually grow up and become something they hate~

"Let's go~" Nagayama Naoki and Itou Shuichi walked outside together, "Anyway... at least a few awards must be fair! This is the foundation of the Tokyo International Film Festival!"

The authority of an award is very fragile. Once the authority is broken, no one will agree with the award!

Just like the most authoritative Japanese Record Awards, who would have thought that in a few years it would be completely destroyed by a guy named Masahiko Kondo...

Johnny used money and connections to bribe the judges, pushing the mediocre song "The Fool" to the top prize at the Grand Awards, and suddenly ruined Japan's most authoritative music award~

........

Even at noon in midsummer, the Shinjuku business district is still crowded with people, as if the hot sunshine above our heads does not exist.

Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Itou took the company's official car and arrived at a building complex in Shinjuku...

"I haven't been here before..." Nagayama Naoki looked at the restaurant and other areas here with some curiosity, "Shuiichi-san, is this also a membership system?"

"should be...."

Itou Xiu nodded, Kadokawa Haruki's banquets were usually in high-end membership clubs like this.

"Sure enough, old money still knows how to play!"

Naoki Nagayama clicked his tongue. There were countless membership-based clubs like Neon. Even with his current status, there were places that he might not be able to enter.
