Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 1158 Chapter 1167, You smell like someone else's perfume!!!

"The first month box office of Ghost has exceeded 30 billion!"

In the office of the Shuyou Building, Shuichi Itō announced happily,

"If the pre-sale box office is also taken into account, the cumulative box office has exceeded 40 billion!"

The pre-sale results of this movie were already very high, and relying on the pre-sale results, the major theaters were asked to increase the screenings. "Ghost" almost occupied the entire movie theaters in Neon for more than half a month during the New Year's Eve!

So Naoki Nagayama is not surprised by such box office, and even a little dissatisfied

"When will a movie's first-month box office exceed 10 billion?" Naoki Nagayama sighed as he leaned back on his boss chair. "A movie can surpass the combined total of all other movies."

"Naoki-san, stop joking!" Idou Shuichi smiled and shook his head, "What kind of movie can have such an appeal? It would take all the people in Japan to go to the cinema."

"Anime movies!"

"Hahahaha~"

Itou Shuichi seemed to have heard some kind of joke.

"Anime? Something for kids? How is that possible!"

"Shuuichi-san doesn't believe it?!" Nagayama Naoki sat up straight, crossed his hands and supported his chin, making the posture of Commander Yodo, "So, how about we make a bet?"

"I'll bet that in the future there will be an animated film with a rebellious kid as the main character, and the box office will exceed 10 billion. What do you think?!"

"." Ito Shuichi looked at his good friend and suddenly felt that he would definitely lose this bet!

"Ahem, Naoki-san, didn't we agree when we started our business that we would never touch gambling or drugs? Forget about the bet~"

Idou Xiu looked around and talked about something else, even bringing up the rules that everyone had agreed on earlier, and then stared at Naoki Nagayama.

"But, Naoki-san, you actually said that. Could it be..."

"You already have plans to make an animated film?!"

He felt that if Naoki Nagayama was so confident, he must have made plans.

"no!"

"I do not believe!"

"Really not~"

"Haha~ Do you believe it? I don't believe it anyway!"

"Let's go to the club tonight and have a drink to relax?"

"How can Kexiu change the subject?!"

"going or not?"

"go with!"

Little Xiuyi, just take it easy!

In fact, it’s not that Naoki Nagayama doesn’t want to shoot an animated blockbuster, but with the technology of this era, it is impossible to achieve the effects of the future!

If we rely solely on manual drawing to achieve the effect of future animations, even if we sacrifice all our tree friends, it may not be enough!

After sharing the good news and knowing that he would go to the club in the evening, Shuichi Ido seemed quite pleased with himself and sipped his hot tea in a relaxed manner.

"Naoki-san, speaking of the Tokyo Film Association," Idou Shuichi said without pause, "Should we make solid progress?"

"How do we move forward?" Naoki Nagayama asked, "Have you talked to the Producers Guild, the Writers Guild, and the Actors Guild?"

"The major producers and screenwriters don't have any objections. They just want to join a larger organization. However, the actors' agencies..."

Shuichi Idou shook his head. In fact, all the agencies in Japan exploit the actors, and the powerful Japanese Actors Association actually depends on the color of these agencies and basically has no much power.

Naoki Nagayama has already communicated with some officials from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. They are actually very supportive of establishing a new Tokyo Film Association and have promised to initiate the initiative when the time is right.

"The film academy is also quite supportive," Idou Shuichi also went to see his mentor, "so in terms of public opinion, everyone is generally supportive~"

"So, we still need to negotiate with all the major agencies!" Naoki Nagayama sighed. He looked at Idou Shuichi, "Shuichi-san, do you think we should set up a support fund first? So that the agencies can make a profit? That way we can control them?"

“Will you get funding from the government?”

"Of course, we are working for the benefit of the entire film industry. Shouldn't the government support us?!"

".really"

All other parties are benefit-free and require the firm’s consent as well as actual benefits.

Establishing a support fund, helping the filming of movies and TV series, helping artists in need, etc., this gives the agency a reason to participate~

“It shouldn’t be a problem to apply for a budget, but as for the firm, which one should I start with?”

Naoki Nagayama suddenly thought of the Burning Agency, which was just a medium-sized agency on the surface, but secretly had a complex network of

"It seems he has connections with the underworld."

"Oh?" Naoki Nagayama patted his head, "I think I have it too?"

“I wonder if we have any common topics!”

In the evening, Akina Nakamori said goodbye to Yoshiyo Ochi, with whom she went shopping and dinner, and returned to Yamazakurain.

After entering the door, I saw Mrs. Nonaka Mari holding Xia Hua and walking around the living room. At this age, Xia Hua cannot crawl on her own for a long time, but she already has a strong curiosity and will cry if she stops being held.

"Mari-san," Akina came over to take the baby, a little surprised, "Why don't I see Naoki-san? Shouldn't he be back earlier than me?"

Akina didn't go out to many parties, so she just had a great time before coming back. This is what she had said to Naoki Nagayama before.

I thought she would see Naoki Nagayama playing with the baby when she came back, but now he is nowhere to be seen~

"Naoki-san drank alcohol at night, so Natsuka-chan wouldn't let him hug her."

Mari Nonaka helped Akina Nakamori sort out the shopping bags and move the purchased items to the cloakroom.

"I think I'm in the study now."

"study?"

Mingcai has no problem with her husband drinking a little, but she has a problem with him not drinking with her. However, she is still breastfeeding, and in order to prevent Xiahua from getting drunk, she has been drinking for a long time~

Holding Xia Hua, he went upstairs and walked towards the study.

Before I opened the door, I heard a strange sound from inside.

Mingcai subconsciously slowed down her pace, exchanged glances with Xiahua in her arms, and put her finger to her lips to signal her not to make any sound:

"Shh~~"

Then he leaned his head and put his ear close to the door. Sure enough, he heard the voice of Naoki Nagayama coming from inside.

"ムーンプリズムパワー!メークアップ!!! (Moon Prism Power! Transformation!!!)"

"Sailor Moon of love and justice, Sailor Moon!

I will represent the moon and destroy you!!!"

The strange words left Akina confused, and she couldn't figure out what her husband was doing in there.

Little Xia Hua in her arms looked at her mother and tried to imitate her, trying to put her head against the door, but she couldn't control her body and slammed against the door with a bang!

Mingcai was startled and quickly rubbed Xiao Xiahua's head, who had pursed her lips: "Ah~~ Hua-chan, be good~~ It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt"

"Wow~~~"

Xiao Xiahua still cried out of grievance. She just wanted to learn from her mother. What had she done wrong?

Why did she have to bang on the door!

Bad door!

Just as Mingcai was coaxing the baby, the door of the study room opened from the inside!

Naoki Nagayama walked out in confusion, and was even more surprised to see his wife coaxing Xiao Xiahua at the door:

"Akina is back. What happened?!"

"Xiahua tried to knock on the door, but accidentally hit it with her head!"

Akina no longer felt guilty about lying, and asked back,

"What is Naoki-san doing sneaking around in the study?"

"What do you mean by sneaky? I'm just drawing a prototype!"

Naoki Nagayama was a little tipsy after drinking in the evening. His consciousness was very active at this time, and he directly took Akina and Xiao Xiahua to the desk.

There was a piece of manuscript paper on the table, with a half-finished prototype of the character drawn on it.

A girl with golden twin ponytails, wearing a sailor suit and a crescent headdress, with a round face and a pair of big blue watery eyes. At this time, she crossed her hands in a somewhat strange posture, but pointed at the person looking at her.

There is a line next to it that says "I will destroy you on behalf of the moon"!

"What is this? A cartoon character?" Akina looked at the sketch with some surprise. "It's actually a colored drawing?"

"Ah, I used Akina's old colored pencils!"

Naoki Nagayama said with a smile,

"This is the Shuyou Animation Club, the project after Slam Dunk. This is the protagonist!"

"Forehead"

Akina looked at Naoki Nagayama with a strange look.

"Is this a shojo comic?!"

"Yes!" Fearing he might be misunderstood, Naoki Nagayama quickly pointed at Xiao Xiahua, who still had tears in her eyes but was already curiously looking at the painting, "This is for Xiahua!"

"???"

"By the time this comic is finished and adapted into an animation, Xia Hua will be over two years old and will already be able to watch cartoons!"

Naoki Nagayama argued convincingly,

"Then I can let Xiahua watch this excellent animation!"

".oh?"

Akina Nakamori felt that her husband was fooling her, but she had no evidence, so she could only make a noncommittal statement and continue flipping through other manuscripts.

There is also a yellow kitten doll with wings and a pink cane with a small crescent moon on top.

"This is the Star-Moon Cane, the transformation device of Sailor Moon!" Naoki Nagayama introduced it to Akina, "As long as you hold this cane and shout 'Moon Prism Power! Transform!!!', you can transform into Sailor Moon in a burst of holy light!"

"This can also be used as a peripheral toy in the future. I believe that after the animation is broadcast, there will definitely be many little girls who want to buy it!"

"."

Listening to Naoki Nagayama's clear and logical talk, Akina finally understood that her husband was serious!

He really wants to make a girls' manga/animation!

"Naoki-san," Akina paused, then continued, "Even if you are a genius, it is better for girls to draw girls' comics!"

"What are you talking about!"

Naoki Nagayama glanced at Akina.

"Akina, don't you know that the founder of girls' comics is Osamu Tezuka?! He is a real man!"

".Nani?!"

What? The girls' comics that I have always loved to read were actually created by a man?!

Mingcai would rather have never heard of such little-known facts!!!

How can she face the comics she likes in the future?

"But don't worry, I will ask Gosho Aoyama to recruit more female painters in the future." Naoki Nagayama said, "I will find female painters to draw the comics!"

"."

While the two were still talking, Xia Hua in his arms became unhappy. She made a whining sound and wanted her parents to take her for a move. It was boring to stay in one place all the time!

"Hana-chan likes this idea too, right?!"

Naoki Nagayama laughed, reached out and held the baby and rocked him.

"When you grow up, you can watch Sailor Moon!"

"."

Smelling the alcohol still on her father's body, Xiao Xiahua felt uncomfortable again. Her mouth pursed and she started crying again!

"Wow~~~"

"Eh eh eh?"

"What's going on? Why does Xiahua always cry when I hold her these past two days?!!"

Naoki Nagayama quickly returned the child to Akina's arms.

"Isn't it said that daughters are the most attached to their fathers?!"

"You smell like alcohol, don't you?!"

After Akina took the child, she leaned forward and sniffed. Then, in addition to the smell of alcohol, there was a very familiar smell - rose perfume!!!

Mingcai's eyes suddenly became sharp:

"Naoki-san! What else did you do at night besides drinking?!"

"Why do you smell like someone else's perfume!!!"

"what?!"

As for the club and the ladies, they will naturally be more enthusiastic when they see handsome and wealthy celebrities. This is understandable!

Naoki Nagayama quickly raised three fingers:

"Akina! I swear, I didn't provoke anyone! It was all because of Shuuichi-san. He had to find someone to drink with him!!! Otherwise he couldn't drink!!!"

(Idou Shuichi, who was drowsy at home, suddenly sneezed!)

"Hehehe!"

Mingcai walked out holding Xiahua.

"Naoki-san, I'm sleeping with Natsuka tonight!!"

"Hmm? What about me?!"

"Just whatever you want, Naoki-san!"

".No!"

Naoki Nagayama, who felt empty and lonely at night, was deeply aware of one thing.

After going out for a drink, the first thing you do when you get home is to take a shower!

In the editing room of the Shuyou Building, Masataka Komori has been working overtime for almost half a month.

The original huge workload has been almost completed by half.

"Masataka-san." Nishimoto Banyuki, who came to work as an assistant and learn by the way, said to Komori Masataka, "Now we can cut a pilot trailer!"

"Ah," Komori Masataka yawned and patted his head to wake himself up, "Trailer, yes trailer!"

There can’t be no publicity at all during the editing process!

During the filming, with the fame of Aoyama Chikako and Shibata Kohei, and the previous hit of "Tiger of Ginza", Hong Kong star Leslie Cheung was loved by the Japanese, making "Once Upon a Time" somewhat famous.

Now, we have to maintain this enthusiasm and raise the audience's expectations to the highest level before the release, so that they will go to the cinema and pay.

"Then we will edit the trailer and notify the leading actors to promote it during public events."

Masataka Komori wanted to start immediately, but as soon as he stood up, his head felt confused.

"Masataka-san, it's too late today. Let's start tomorrow!" Nishimoto Banyuki advised, "You can also talk to the publicity department about the promotion plan!"

"Yep."

Komori Masataka nodded vaguely.

"We still need to talk about pre-sales. It doesn't make sense that Ghost can do it but we can't!"

"However, it's already a little late today, so let's get some rest first!"

As he said this, he wanted to open the door and go out, but at this moment, a feeling of weakness came over his head, and Komori Masataka felt his consciousness blurry.

I could vaguely hear someone exclaiming:

"Jeonghyo-san! Jeonghyo-san, what's wrong with you?!"

“Jeonghyo-san hold on!”

"Go call an ambulance!"
