Chapter 1219 Chapter 1228 If you don’t get paid, you can go to Naoki-san’s house for a meal! !
Before continuing to film "Departures", Naoki Nagayama still had to go to the company.
As a guy who had been absent for such a long time, especially the key meetings at the end and beginning of the month, he was naturally confined to the office by company matters as soon as he came back.
"Naoki-san, these... all need your signature."
Hayano Riko placed the reports and documents that needed to be signed on Naoki Nagayama's desk.
"And then there are these planning proposals, which also need your review."
Then there was another thick stack of planning documents.
"." Naoki Nagayama was helpless. Most of these reports only needed Otomo-san's signature. "Riko-chan, are you doing this on purpose?"
"Absolutely!"
Hayano Riko had a big smile on her face.
"Otomo-san specifically asked me to put these on my desk as soon as Naoki-san got back!"
After talking for a long time in one breath, Hayano Riko was a little out of breath, and then continued to get the documents.
"Autumn bean sack."
Naoki Nagayama quickly stopped him.
"These have been waiting to be signed for a long time. Are there any more?!"
“Hey, here are the salary reports of our subsidiaries.”
“Why don’t you sign, Otomo-san? Aren’t you worried about delaying the work?!
Aren’t you worried about salary delays?
Employees still need to get paid to eat! ! "
In fact, these financial statements are the final versions after layers of review. Salaries can be paid with the signature of Yoshimura Otomo or Nagayama Naoki. There must be enough room for the last step and there will be no delay.
But today Naoki Nagayama came over, and Yoshimura Otomo piled all the work on his desk at once to express his dissatisfaction~
Hayano Riko's smile is reserved and calm:
"Otomo-san said not to worry, and that he would let us go to Naoki-san's house for dinner then!"
"."
In response to this answer, Naoki Nagayama said he had no f*ck to say and could only sign his name fiercely while complaining,
"I went out to make a movie, didn't I?! I also work hard for the company!
How can you treat me like this just because I came home to see my beautiful wife and my lovely daughter?!"
"."
Hayano Riko's mouth twitched slightly, and she even used double the adjectives to praise her wife and daughter.
"And Naoki-san, Hayao Miyazaki from the animation department has been looking for you for a long time. The production of My Neighbor Totoro needs your opinions and suggestions."
"My Neighbor Totoro?"
Naoki Nagayama paused for a moment and suddenly realized that "My Neighbor Totoro" should be entering its busiest production stage.
"Okay. I'll go find him now!"
I'm about to put down my pen and go downstairs~
"Akito sack!"
Hayano Riko grabbed the corner of Naoki Nagayama's clothes.
"Naoki-san, are you planning to run away now?! Do you think I don't exist?"
"Hahaha, Riko-chan, are you kidding me?"
Naoki Nagayama tried to pull the corner of the clothes out of Hayano Riko's hand with a smile on his face.
"I just want to take a look first and then come back to sign and process these documents!"
"really?"
Hayano Riko raised her forehead slightly, her eyes looked down at her, and her expression was very similar to that of someone.
"I do not believe!"
"."
Why do I feel like I, the boss of the company, have no authority at all? !
Naoki Nagayama widened his eyes and wanted to use his domineering aura to let the subordinates in front of him feel the president's majesty. However, Hayano Riko didn't even look at him:
"Naoki-san, you better sign these salary-related reports first, otherwise I will really go to Yamazakurain to eat for free~"
".well."
After sighing, Naoki Nagayama returned to his desk and started making a human-shaped stamp. After a long time, Hayano Riko got the reviewed documents and left with satisfaction.
As the president of the tree friends association, Naoki Nagayama is the type of person who has the final say when it comes to arranging work, filming a movie, or in the recording studio.
But in daily work, they are not so serious and can get along with employees equally. This makes Shuyou's corporate culture fundamentally different from other companies in Japan, and it also makes Shuyou's cohesion far superior to its peers~
The hard work of the employees is also an important reason why we were able to surpass most companies in the entertainment industry in a short period of time!
Naoki Nagayama, who concentrates on daily affairs, is very efficient at work.
While looking through the thick plan book, I suddenly saw a debut plan of Miyazawa Rie
"Hmm, Rie-chan is actually old enough to debut already?"
When I signed this little girl, I had a slight sentiment of helping Miyazawa Rie get rid of her vampire mother and save the last beauty of the Showa era from danger.
In the past few years, Miyazawa Rie has focused on magazine modeling and some film shooting. Overall, her career has been tepid, but if she wants to invest more resources in the future
"Do you still want to push it in the direction of idol?"
Naoki Nagayama touched his chin. It was obvious that the idol industry had been in decline in the past few years. Since Yukiko Okada, there was not even a next generation of talent who could support the industry.
The winter of idols may be coming soon
The idol story that has been told for almost ten years may burst along with the bubble.
"The idols of Shuyou now include Shizuka Kudo, as well as several other idols."
Naoki Nagayama closed the plan and made up his mind.
"As for Miyazawa Rie, she should be trained as an actress!"
If you don't debut as an idol, you have to go to an actor training class and participate in the filming of various movies and TV series. Coincidentally, Naoki Nagayama wrote a script for "Full House" some time ago.
It's not that he didn't want Akina to play the role, but Akina has grown up now and has a strong aura. She has the aura of a queen and a heroine. She really can't play a silly and cute little girl with baby fat.
"If the training goes well this year, let Rie-chan film this TV series!"
After coming downstairs, Naoki Nagayama, who hadn't been there for a long time, was surprised to find that there were many more "Slam Dunk" posters and photos on the walls of the animation department.
There were also peripherals and souvenirs hung in different places, as well as ribbons and other things, as if it was a festival.
There's even a basketball hoop mounted on the wall at the end of the hallway.
"what happened"
As he was muttering, he happened to see Gosho Aoyama walking out of the office, holding a basketball in his hand and walking towards the basket excitedly without even noticing Naoki Nagayama coming.
"Ready. Spot shot!"
The basketball drew a smooth arc and was thrown into the basket on the corridor wall, causing Gosho Aoyama to pump his fist excitedly.
Looks like a sports boy in his student days~
The basketball hit the ground with a thumping sound, and Togashi Yoshihiro also came out:
"Gangchang, you bastard, you're so noisy. You haven't stopped since you put the basket on it."
While complaining, Togashi Yoshihiro saw Naoki Nagayama not far away.
"Naoki-san?!"
Aoyama Gosho also turned his head and saw Naoki Nagayama coming, and suddenly he felt a little reserved:
"Naoki-san, you're back!"
"Yeah, I just got back today." Naoki Nagayama nodded, bent down to pick up the basketball and spun around, looking around the animation department, and asked curiously, "What's going on here?!"
"what!"
Gosho Aoyama came over and explained,
"It's been almost a year since Slam Dunk was released. Comics and animation are very popular nowadays, and we have many comic and animation fans, so we planned an online anniversary event!"
"We will invite some fans to visit the company later to learn about the creation process of Slam Dunk and the media will come to interview them."
Gosho Aoyama quickly explained that this was a promotional event for "Slam Dunk" and the interior was decorated to look good on camera.
"That's it~"
Naoki Nagayama used his index finger to spin the basketball.
"Haha, that's a great idea. Maybe we can sponsor Tokyo High School's basketball games in the future, and organize a voting event like 'Who's the Slam Dunk' to combine online and offline activities to accelerate the expansion of anime's influence."
Naoki Nagayama, who has memories of the future, came up with some ideas for promotional activities very casually, which surprised Gosho Aoyama and Yoshihiro Togashi.
"Naoki-san is really amazing~"
There is nothing new in the flattery of Togashi Yoshihiro
"Why is Naoki-san in the animation department now?" As the head of the animation department, Gosho Aoyama thought quickly, "Ah, he came for "My Neighbor Totoro"!"
"Well, I heard that Miyazaki has been looking for me for a long time."
Naoki Nagayama smiled and said,
"I haven't been to the company for a while, so I came to take a look today."
"Haha, the storyboard for My Neighbor Totoro has been completed, and now the artists are focusing on the painting in the middle."
Gosho Aoyama led Naoki Nagayama towards Studio Ghibli.
"It would be very troublesome to change the picture after it is colored. It would have to be redrawn, so Miyazaki was so anxious to find Naoki-san to confirm."
Naoki Nagayama nodded:
"In fact, in this regard, I believe that it doesn't matter if it's directly produced by Miyazaki-kun."
The work area of Ghibli is not far from the work group of Slam Dunk. After pushing open the door, you can see a more fairy-tale work area.
Various Totoro images and some special characters are posted on the wall. There are even fairy-tale castles and villages drawn.
Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene:
"Ha, it's a completely different style from Slam Dunk~"
"Naoki-san!"
Miyazaki, wearing a large black frame, saw Naoki Nagayama at a glance, and his tone was very excited.
"You finally came!"
"Miyazaki-kun, your tone is too resentful!"
Naoki Nagayama smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Didn't I come here?"
"Great!" Miyazaki said immediately, "Our storyboard has been completed, and the main storyline is complete."
As he said this, he walked to the cabinet next to his desk and took out the drawing in a cowhide envelope:
"We are afraid that we won't be able to meet Naoki-san's requirements, so we dare not go all out to produce it. We can only draw some background materials these days."
Amid Miyazaki's aggrieved voice, Naoki Nagayama sat casually on an empty chair in the office, took out the storyboard of "My Neighbor Totoro" from the envelope and read it carefully.
There is no difference between the early storyboards of the animated film and the comics. Naoki Nagayama felt like he was reading the comic version of "My Neighbor Totoro", with a sense of nostalgia and novelty.
Because their mother was ill, two daughters followed their father to their hometown in the countryside.
A countryside full of natural beauty
Met a cute chinchilla
It was as if an animation was being reproduced, and the "My Neighbor Totoro" movie that Naoki Nagayama had watched once again came to his mind.
A world full of childlike fun and imagination, this is probably the world in the eyes of children~
"Miyazaki-kun."
After a while, Naoki Nagayama closed the last drawing, looked up and said to Hayao Miyazaki,
"Sure enough, I wasn't wrong about you!!!"
This sentence is undoubtedly an acknowledgement!
"."
After being stunned for a moment, Miyazaki felt a warm current in his heart. So this is the feeling of being trusted and recognized!
"When Naoki-san was drawing My Neighbor Totoro, I felt a connection with the movie."
"It seems like every scene just jumped out of my mind. As if I had drawn it in my previous life. But I've always been worried that it might be different from what Naoki-san originally thought."
"It's great to be recognized by Naoki-san now!"
Naoki Nagayama scratched his cheek, feeling a little embarrassed. Originally, this "My Neighbor Totoro" was drawn by you!
I'm just returning your original work to you. And under the banner of Shuyou, Studio Ghibli will no longer have to worry about bankruptcy!
"Miyazaki-kun, just make it according to your idea!"
Naoki Nagayama encouraged,
"Go all out from now on. If the film can be released before the end of this year, I will give you a big red envelope as a year-end bonus!"
"Hey! I will definitely try my best!"
Miyazaki felt that his whole body was filled with strength. He turned around and patted Takahata Isao and Suzuki Toshio who had stood up together from the beginning.
"Studio Ghibli will also work together!"
"Then I'll be looking forward to the day when My Neighbor Totoro is released!"
Naoki Nagayama nodded with a smile, and then at the enthusiastic invitation of the three people, he further inspected the current production process of "My Neighbor Totoro".
Studio Ghibli, which originally had only three people, now has more than ten people after hiring painters.
The atmosphere as everyone was absorbed in painting was even somewhat like the study room for the college entrance examination. The only sound was the rustling of pencils rubbing against paper.
"These painters are all employees of Shuyou."
Miyazaki explains,
"Currently, the animation industry's various studios often use the commissioned creation model, and the artists are temporary. However, Shuyou's system does not allow outsourcing."
"Ha, that's as it should be."
Naoki Nagayama was very dissatisfied with the way the Japanese animation industry exploited cartoonists in the future. Now that Shuyou has the ability, he naturally wants to give his own painters good guarantees.
Moreover, it may also change the atmosphere of the industry.
“Animated films also belong to the film industry. Perhaps some clauses can be added to Xiuyi-san’s “Rights Protection Proposal”.”
Naoki Nagayama thought of the proposals that Shuichi Ido had been promoting since the beginning of the year, although most of them were aimed at people working in the film industry.
However, animation and movies are not far apart, and they are likely to be even more closely connected in the future!
"It's alright if I couldn't manage it before, but now I can help out, so I'll do my part~"
"Just think of it as the various anime characters I've seen before. Boa Hancock, Matsumoto Rangiku, Tsunade, Busujima Saeko, Mine Fujiko."
Recalling the anime characters he had watched before, Naoki Nagayama was very determined at this time!
