Chapter 1049 1058, Anime is still a blue ocean!!

Naoki Nagayama has been to the high-end restaurant many times, but Japanese high-end restaurants emphasize authentic flavor and mainly rely on ingredients.

Such as the freshest salmon, sturgeon roe, and freshly caught seafood.

In fact, as long as the ingredients are good, they can be cut or steamed at home and they are not much different from those made in restaurants. Eating here is mainly about the presentation and environment.

When Naoki Nagayama arrived at the restaurant, Yasushi Akimoto and TBS director Kotaro Ogata had already arrived, as well as the head of the headquarters, Mitsuhiro Yoshioka, whom he had met before.

"Naoki-san!"

After the waiter brought the person in, Akimoto Yasushi immediately stood up to welcome him.

"You are here! Come and sit down."

"Mr. Akimoto!" Naoki Nagayama greeted with a smile, and then saw Mitsuhiro Yoshioka on the side, "Minister Yoshioka, long time no see"

"Naoki-san, it's been a while since you've visited our TBS!"

Yoshioka Mitsuhiro smiled and introduced Naoki Nagayama.

"Naoki-san, this is our TBS director, Ogata Kotaro!"

Seeing this imposing-looking director, Naoki Nagayama greeted him according to the rules:

"Nice to meet you. I'm Naoki Nagayama!"

"Nice to meet you. I'm Ogata Kotaro."

After the two exchanged business cards, they officially became friends. Director Ogata was very enthusiastic:

"What are you busy with recently, Naoki-san?"

"Well, come to think of it, I've been at home lately, accompanying my wife as she prepares for her baby's birth." Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "I write occasionally."

Mitsuhiro Yoshioka ignored the words about accompanying his wife as she was about to give birth. In the eyes of upper-class people like them, accompanying their wives was just an excuse.

How could a successful Japanese man stay at home to accompany his family? There is a whole world out there waiting for you to conquer!

So I simply praised the second half of the sentence:

"Naoki-san is a great writer, he must be writing a new work."

"Haha, it's a new work, I guess. Some inspiration, and some drawing materials."

Akimoto Yasushi helped pour the wine and started a conversation:

"Is Naoki-san going to draw comics? Rumor has it that Shuyou is going to expand into the animation industry?"

"Yes. They are already recruiting." Yoshioka Mitsuhiro asked curiously, and explained to the station director Ogata Kotaro, "A few days ago, the industry was discussing whether Shuyou had really changed its direction and would not make movies anymore."

Ogata Kotaro raised his glass and took a sip, then looked at the young man in front of him:

"Naoki-san must have a plan."

"Hahaha, Shuyou does have the idea of ​​expanding into the animation industry, comics, adapted animations, animated movies, and peripherals."

Naoki Nagayama had no intention of hiding anything and spoke out openly.

"The animation-related industry is a blue ocean, and its output value may be even higher than that of the film industry in the future!"

"Hahaha, Naoki-san, you are joking~" Yoshioka Mitsuhiro shook his head, "Animation is just something that children watch, how can it be higher than the film industry!"

In this era, when animation and related industries were still in their infancy, the film industry was already in its heyday. No one could have thought that animation, something that children like more than movies.

But Naoki Nagayama knew that after the explosion of information technology, the animation industry in countries around the world would catch up!

What's more, animated films will bite off a piece of the film industry's pie~

Even though he likes watching anime, Akimoto Yasushi doesn't really believe that anime can make more money than movies, but he just laughs along.

However, TBS Director Kotaro Ogata seemed to be thinking:

"Has Naoki-san already laid out plans for the animation industry?"

"I can only say that I just want to try anime for now~" Naoki Nagayama responded with a smile, "It's just my own little willfulness~"

"Hahaha, geniuses always have a longer-term vision than ordinary people like us~"

President Kotaro Ogata laughed and said to Mitsuhiro Yoshioka next to him,

"Under the leadership of Naoki-san, the Shuyou Group is now one of the largest companies in the film industry. Maybe in the future Shuyou will become a pan-entertainment giant spanning film and animation!"

"Yes, yes. The future will definitely be bright!" Mitsuhiro Yoshioka agreed.

"Master Ogata is so good at talking!"

Naoki Nagayama also laughed. If you can talk, you should talk more!

For a moment, the room was filled with joy and a harmonious atmosphere.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Yoshioka Mitsuhiro started to talk about business at the director's suggestion:

"Naoki-san, preparations for this year's Tokyo International Film Festival for Shuyou have already begun, right?!"

"Yes. The preparatory committee is already sorting out the rules." Naoki Nagayama nodded. "The last event was very successful, so this time we want to make it more standardized so that we can hold it one after another."

"There really needs to be rules and regulations." Yoshioka Mitsuhiro nodded repeatedly. "The last time our TV station broadcasted the promotion, we coordinated with other TV stations for a long time. If there were rules and regulations, it would definitely be smoother."

"That's right! If it can be implemented according to the system, the publicity effect will be better."

Akimoto Yasushi chimed in,

"Naoki-san, are there any rules for this broadcast?"

"."

Looking at the foxes in the room, Naoki Nagayama shook his head. Didn't he come here just for this? Now he's acting like he knows nothing and is just waiting for others to talk to him.

Selling the broadcasting rights to Fuji TV in exchange for Shuyou buying the TV station's shares is a secret operation and is not convenient to mention in public.

Is this the art of negotiation? Is it the so-called disadvantage to speak first?

Naoki Nagayama hates this the most. This is why he doesn't like to attend social gatherings with other people. Everyone has seven or eight hundred thoughts in their minds, and every sentence seems to have hidden meanings, which need to be carefully thought out.

Are you annoyed?

"Ah, the broadcasting rights for this year's event have been given to Fuji TV~"

Naoki Nagayama flipped the table and said it directly,

“Because support is needed for the first term, I have authorized Fuji TV on behalf of the Executive Committee in exchange for the opportunity to purchase Fuji TV shares.”

"."X3

The other three looked at Naoki Nagayama in surprise. They didn't expect him to be so frank.

Shouldn't this kind of private transaction abide by the three principles of no admittance, no refutation and no commitment? !

"But, selling the broadcasting rights," Ogata Kotaro couldn't help but ask, "Shouldn't the committee discuss this collectively?"

Seeing the three people stop in surprise, Naoyama Naoki laughed and continued to pick up the seafood and put it in his mouth:

"Didn't I tell you that there was no charter at all for the first festival? As the initiator and general manager, I was free to do whatever I wanted in order to ensure the success of the Tokyo Film Festival!"

At that time, the Tokyo Film Festival Preparatory Committee was basically composed of Naoki's friends. Other parties that participated later were at most sponsors or guests, and it was basically Naoki Nagayama's one-man show.

Starting from the second session, there were more people on the preparatory committee, and even the tree friends could only be regarded as the party with more say.

"So this year's Tokyo International Film Festival broadcast can only be watched on Fuji TV?"

Director Yoshioka Mitsuhiro asked anxiously, "Several other TV stations received great exposure and popularity last year!" Subsequent publicity reports also kept the TV station's ratings at a high level.

"Ah, speaking of that."

Naoki Nagayama drank the wine in his glass, and the sharp-eyed Akimoto Yasushi immediately filled it up.

"Fuji TV will also hold a closed-door meeting in a few days."

"A closed-door meeting?"

"Yes, TBS, Asahi, Tokyo and other TV stations, as well as local channels, can discuss broadcasting with Fuji TV."

As for how you exchange the broadcasting rights, whether you buy them directly or exchange resources, Naoki Nagayama doesn't care.

"Then after this term has its charter, we will start bidding."

After that, it was pure business to see who had the highest bid. Based on his experience in bidding in his previous life, Naoki Nagayama also provided the preparatory committee with the bidding process for the overall publicity plan.

"That's it"

After hearing this, Kotaro Ogata felt relieved. It was enough to talk about it. In the end, it was just a matter of how much money he could make. As long as he didn't miss the popular Tokyo International Film Festival, it would be fine. This was related to the influence and status of TBS.

If you miss it, you will definitely not be able to be rated as the ratings king at the end of the year~

After resolving this knot, the following drinking party was much more relaxed. Everyone chatted casually about interesting things in the circle, and occasionally looked to see if there were any opportunities for cooperation between Shuyou and TBS.

Seeing Akimoto Yasushi who had been serving diligently, Nagayama Naoki spoke well of him:

"Akimoto-san's new variety show has great potential. It may become TBS's flagship program in the future!"

"Is Naoki-san watching this, too?" Yoshioka Mitsuhiro asked in amazement. "Our management team also thinks it is of high quality and has already scheduled it for prime time."

"This variety show is very novel, and both the content and format are eye-catching. Akimoto-san's talent should not be underestimated!"

Naoki Nagayama toasted Akimoto Yasushi with a glass of wine, which made Akimoto Yasushi's eyes red.

It turns out that in Naoki-san's heart, I am so powerful!

When people of high status show kindness to others, they are blessed with an aura, which makes people feel more touched.

Just like when Liu Bei gave a pair of straw sandals to someone when he was making straw sandals in Zhuozhou, and later when he became the uncle of the Han emperor, he gave a pair of straw sandals to someone, are they the same kind of straw sandals? !

"Haha, you're right. Akimoto-kun's talents are definitely more than just this!"

When Ogata Kotaro saw Naoyama Naoki also praising Akimoto Yasushi, he immediately echoed him,

"There is still a lot to be done at TBS in the future!"

This is what it means to give Akimoto Yasushi more opportunities in the future.

In the afternoon, Naoki Nagayama returned to Yamazakurain, feeling a little drunk.

"I'm back~"

Inatarou, who wanted to rush forward and ask for a touch, smelled the alcohol and hesitated at the entrance and did not move forward.

Akina, who was listening to music, heard this and quickly walked towards the entrance.

However, seeing his wife running on the smooth floor with a big belly made Naoki Nagayama a little worried:

"Akina. Akina! Slow down, slow down."

"Stuff the tape!" Akina helped put away Naoki Nagayama's coat and said nonchalantly, "I've been practicing ballet in the dance studio since I was a child. I have a good sense of balance and have never fallen."

"."But now you have a burden!

Naoki Nagayama still reached out his hand to support Akina and slowly walked towards the sofa, and in the process swept the dog that had just approached away.

"Naoki-san is drinking!"

As a little drunkard, Mingcai naturally smelled the alcohol at once, and her eyes were full of resentment. She hadn't drunk alcohol for seven months!

"Yes, I have a dinner with people from TBS today~"

Naoki Nagayama helped Akina sit down and explained the purpose of drinking today, while Akina shouted towards the kitchen:

"Nonoka-san, please make a pot of hangover soup for Naoki-san~"

Nozaka Mari, who was stewing something, agreed and started to prepare the hangover soup.

"Are you preparing dinner so early?" Naoki Nagayama was a little curious.

"Mr. Nonaka said he wanted to soak dried abalone and make soup."

"That's very troublesome~"

"yes."

After a while of this daily conversation, Akina suddenly seemed to have remembered something and said to Nagayama Naoki:

"Naoki-san, the stage costume I designed has been chosen as the album cover!"

"Oh?"

Naoki Nagayama took the album handed over by Akina, which was Yukiko Okada's new album.

In the picture above, Yukiko Okada is wearing a black and red princess dress, which adds a neat and decisive feeling to the original sweet style.

"Yukiko came to Tokyo alone for an interview and even negotiated with her family for her debut. She's not a weak character!"

Naoki Nagayama said with emotion that since moving to Ken-On, Yukiko Okada has completely escaped the situation of wanting to commit suicide and has become confident and radiant.

"We really didn't know how to create idols at Sunny Music before!"

Actually, we can't blame Sunny Music. They brought out Seiko Matsuda, the third generation idol successor in the entertainment industry. So it's only natural that they would promote Yukiko Okada based on their experience in promoting Seiko Matsuda. People are all path-dependent.

But he didn't realize that each artist has a different style, and this almost drove Yukiko Okada to depression and suicide.

"Yeah, Yukiko-chan is now a super popular female idol!"

Akina looked at Yukiko Okada on the album cover and admired her.

"You will definitely be able to surpass me in the future!"

"Not always!"

Naoki Nagayama touched his wife's face.

"Akina is irreplaceable!"

"Well"

Akina was a little shy, and she kept resting her head in her husband's arms. It was another day full of dog food for Inaritaro!

While Naoki Nagayama was being intimate with Akina, he suddenly thought that it seemed that Seiko Matsuda would be making a comeback by the end of this year!

After giving birth, Seiko Matsuda did not delay at all and lost weight. She appeared on TV screens in the second month. What an ambitious woman!

I turned my head and looked at Akina in my arms. It seems that Kenon also said that they would release an album for Akina by the end of the year~

"Akina, you said before that you would release an album by the end of the year, right?"

"Hey, the song has been created, we just need to record it." Akina nodded, "The costumes are almost done too!"

"Is it the song 'Passion'?"

"Yes," Akina confirmed, "and the style of the clothes, it's that gorgeous style of hip-hop and kimono."

"what"

Naoki Nagayama's mind naturally appeared the line "Paris Spicy" sung by Akina when she danced to "Passion". He actually felt like laughing.

"Akina, remember to wear your bob headgear."

"."

With Seiko and Akina returning to work after having children, and Yukiko Okada and Shizuka Kudo coming out in the back, the entertainment industry at the end of this year should be very exciting!
