Chapter 1030 Chapter 1039, I don’t need to bring a translator!
It was another hard day's work, and Naoki Nagayama disbanded the crew only when night fell.
However, it was not time to rest yet. He brought the filmed materials all the way to Shuyou's editing room and edited "Tokyo Love Story" with Matsuo Muneo and Nishimoto Banyuki.
After all, I will be going abroad for a week, and first of all, I have to make sure that the TV series will not be delayed. It's just like writing, how can I do it without any manuscripts!
"Mongsheng-kun, Nishimoto-kun, send the materials to the editing room first!"
"Hi!" X2
When he arrived at Shuyou, some employees were still working overtime in the building, which surprised Naoki Nagayama. Could it be that Japan's overtime culture has also begun to slowly invade Shuyou? !
You should know that when he founded Shuyou, he had made up his mind not to let the 996 and 007 culture take root in Shuyou!
You were exhausted in your previous life, so be a good person in this life and don’t let your employees suffer the same fate!
"Riko-chan, Kimie-chan?"
Naoki Nagayama came to the General Affairs Section, where the lights were on. This was one of the places where overtime work was done.
"What are you still working overtime on?"
"Ah, Naoki-san!"
When Hayano Riko and Ochiai Kimie saw Naoki Naoki, they immediately stood up and greeted him.
"Why are you here so late?"
"I just wanted to edit a TV show and I haven't told you yet. You're still working overtime so late. What are you doing?"
Hayano Riko showed the document in her hand to Naoki Nagayama:
"Earlier, Mr. Otomo said that our administrative system needs a systematic upgrade. Let's find some foreign companies' systems to learn from, and then refer to their management trainees to create a management trainee system for Shuyou."
"Then we need to organize a recruitment event as soon as possible to recruit outstanding talents from college graduates. I have been busy with this these days."
"."
Naoki Nagayama didn't know what to say for a moment. This was all his own fault!
I was the one who talked to Fangcun Dayou about the training of management. I didn't expect that my casual idea would keep the General Affairs Department busy until so late.
It is true that the boss just opens his mouth and his subordinates run themselves ragged!
At this moment, Ochiai Kiie suddenly thought of something and took out an envelope from the drawer:
"Naoki-san, your plane ticket has been purchased, and the Hong Kong dollars have been exchanged. I wanted to give Naoki-san the hotel, reception and translation services for the trip to Hong Kong tomorrow, and they have also been arranged!"
Naoki Nagayama took the envelope, looked at it briefly and nodded:
".Thank you, Jizhi~"
"Nothing, this is all part of my job."
Ochiai Kimie said with a smile.
Hearing this, Naoki Naoki felt even more ashamed.
"If you are working overtime for this, why are there so many people working overtime in other departments in the building?" Naoki Nagayama continued to ask.
"They, the people at the Creative Center, said that people's minds are clearer at night."
"The planning department is working on the cherry blossom season plan."
"The PR department is working on a promotional plan for "Tiger of Ginza""
"Everyone is very motivated to see how hard Naoki-san has been working these days!" Hayano Riko also said with a smile, "Everyone said they want to take Naoki-san as an example!"
"."
Naoki Nagayama heard that several departments of his friends were working overtime for various reasons, and for a moment he felt an indescribable emotion.
He obviously didn't intend to be so aggressive, but how did he end up causing the atmosphere in the company to become so aggressive? !
"Is Otomo-san still in the office?"
"Hi!"
Naoki Nagayama finally decided to go upstairs and talk to Yoshimura Otomo, and not let the employees suffer so much.
However, when I knocked on the office door, I found Yoshimura Otomo reading the evening paper leisurely, and he didn't look like he was working overtime at all.
"Otomo-san? What are you doing?"
"Ah, today's evening news said that Matsuda Seiko is pregnant with a daughter." Yoshimura Otomo closed the newspaper and talked about today's hot news. "The reporter is really powerful. He knew it so early!"
"." Naoki Nagayama narrowed his eyes, "Didn't Otomo-san stay in the company to work overtime?"
"Working overtime? I'm waiting for the drinking party tonight!" Yoshimura Otomo shook his head. "Toho's sales manager invited me to drink. He also brought people from the office."
"."
It turns out that the boss and the employees have different reasons for staying in the company!
"Naoki-san, what are you doing here at the company so late?"
"Edit the next episode of Tokyo Love Story and save it as a draft," Naoki Nagayama said as he sat on the sofa and poured himself a cup of tea. "You can't stop updating for a week while I'm away!"
"."
Yoshimura Otomo shook his shoulders and said that it was nothing if the TV series was delayed. When it happened to be a festival or a special season, the audience could accept it.
"Naoki-san, when are you going to Hong Kong?"
"Today and tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, is just the right time to finish editing the TV series."
Yoshimura Otomo sat next to Naoki Nagayama:
"Naoki-san, are you going to meet some actors this time? Are you ready?"
“Haha, there’s no fixed number.”
Naoki Nagayama smiled and said that he went to Hong Kong this time because he suddenly became interested in going there. As for the actors, he had asked Fuji TV to contact his acquaintances at TVB in Hong Kong to meet several candidates through their introduction.
"But we will definitely be able to find the right actor~"
"That would be great." Yoshimura Otomo hesitated for a moment, then said, "Naoki-san, there are many voices in the entertainment industry saying that you look down on Japanese actors."
"Eh?"
"There are so many male artists in Japan, but you chose to go to Hong Kong to find them."
No domestic flower is more fragrant than wild flowers!
"It must have been spread by a few artist agencies!" Naoki Nagayama didn't mind at all.
Japanese artist agencies have an unspoken rule that if they want to use their popular artists, they have to find roles in movies or TV series to make other artists in the agency famous.
Everyone knows that Naoki Nagayama's movies will definitely make the protagonist famous, and everyone is eager to get the chance, but Naoki Nagayama would rather look for it abroad than in his own country, which is really frustrating!
"Yes. There are some voices from the Burning faction and the Watanabe faction." Yoshimura Otomo said, "The person who invited me to drink today must have wanted to persuade me~"
Everyone in the entertainment industry knows that Naoki Nagayama never participates in activities within the circle, so most people want to start with Yoshimura Otomo and Ido Shuichi.
"Haha, if it weren't for Otomo-san and Shuichi-san, I would be annoyed to death by these trivial matters!"
Naoki Nagayama raised his teacup and expressed his gratitude to Yoshimura Otomo with tea instead of wine.
"Otomo-san, actually, some of the supporting roles in "Tiger of Ginza" can be given away at your discretion. I am only focusing on the male lead."
"Well, with what Naoki-san said, I feel much more relaxed."
Yoshimura Otomo laughed and said,
"If they don't drink and lie down today, they can't get anything from me!"
"Hahaha~"
After chatting in the office for a while, Naoki Nagayama returned to the editing room and began to immerse himself in the editing work. He did not return to Yamazakurain until late at night.
In the blink of an eye another day has passed.
Akina Nagayama, who was pregnant, showed her virtuousness as a wife when her husband was going out.
Even with a big belly, she carefully put the things that Naoki Nagayama would need when traveling abroad into the suitcase one by one.
“No need for sunscreen.”
Naoki Nagayama looked at the suitcase full of luggage and felt helpless.
“And an umbrella.”
He said to Akina:
"Actually, if a man is on a business trip, he only needs to bring two sets of clothes. Everything else can be bought~"
Naoki Nagayama has always believed that the most important thing when traveling is to bring money.
In fact, as long as you have money, all you really need to bring is your underwear. After all, you will eat and live in a luxury hotel, and the quality of service may be better than at home.
"That won't work. There are many things I'm not used to using!"
Akina, who often performs in various cities, is very persistent.
“I don’t know if there are any suitable shops in Hong Kong or if the public security is good.”
"Hong Kong is very prosperous," Naoki Nagayama knew that his wife was concerned, so he held her in his arms and comforted her, "It's an international port city and a financial center. It's very safe!"
"Well"
Nowadays, due to the difficulty in spreading information, Mingcai's impression of Hong Kong probably comes from Jackie Chan's movies. In Jackie Chan's movies, Hong Kong always has gangs, gunfights, and car racing.
To Akina, Hong Kong is probably like a town with poor public security. She is even a little worried that her husband might be robbed.
After hugging for a while, Akina calmed down again, and then, as if she had thought of something, she stared at Naoki Nagayama fiercely:
"By the way, I saw in the movies that there are a lot of streetwalkers in Hong Kong, and they are very open. Naoki-san, if you go there, you must be careful and behave yourself!"
"."
Naoki Nagayama did have the idea of experiencing the Hong Kong dance hall, but in front of his wife, of course:
"Akina! What are you thinking about? I'm going to do something serious! Not to have fun!"
".humph man"
"Akina, you have to have faith in me!"
"."
Seeing Akina start stuffing things into the suitcase again, Naoki Nagayama got smarter this time and didn't say anything, just silently helped pass the things.
Hong Kong in 1986
It is a city where poverty and wealth coexist and the past and the future intersect.
Double-decker buses swayed along the streets of Wan Chai, filled with passengers, suits and work clothes sitting together for sightseeing; the racecourse in Causeway Bay nearby was covered with green grass and crowded with horse gamblers, and the rich and the poor stood together to cheer.
The beach at Victoria Harbour is clean and tidy, the high-rise buildings in Central are lined up one after another, and Tsim Sha Tsui is brightly lit at night. Next to it is the messy Yau Ma Tei, where tube buildings and shanty towns are closely adjacent to each other.
The prosperous commercial streets are filled with taxis with red lights on, filled with white-collar workers in suits and briefcases; bigwigs wearing windbreakers and lighting cigars are sitting in the back seats of luxury cars; they seem to be in a different world from the passers-by in old clothes rubbing shoulders with each other on the street.
After getting off the plane at Kai Tak Airport, Naoki Nagayama got on the Rolls-Royce Phantom welcome car and headed towards the Peninsula Hotel under the guidance of the airport reception staff.
"Mr. Nagayama, Mr. Komori and Mr. Kijima, this time we have booked the Peninsula Hotel, a luxury hotel with a history of more than 50 years."
The translator and driver named Wu Qiwen introduced Naoki Nagayama, Masataka Komori and Kyon Kijima.
“Right next to Victoria Harbour”
"Uh-huh."
Naoki Nagayama nodded absentmindedly. The translator thought that Naoki Nagayama and his friends didn't know much about Hong Kong, so he introduced the history of the Peninsula Hotel to the three of them in Japanese.
In this era, Hong Kong still speaks Cantonese and English. Naoki Nagayama's Cantonese is average, but he has no problem with normal conversations.
Looking out from the car, I saw these familiar yet strange scenes~
While the translator was still talking, Naoki Nagayama saw a huge fortress slowly passing by the right side of the car window. He immediately became interested and pointed at that place and said to Wu Qiwen:
"That's the Kowloon Walled City, right? I heard there are a lot of gangs there."
Wu Qiwen, who was driving, took a glance, nodded subconsciously and replied in Cantonese:
"Yes. Kowloon Walled City is a no-man's land, very chaotic."
Then he realized that Naoki Nagayama, who was sitting in the back row, was actually speaking Cantonese to him!
"Naoki-san, do you speak Cantonese?"
"Just a little bit like daily conversation." Naoki Nagayama nodded.
“That’s amazing!”
Wu Qiwen felt his voice was a little dry
Just now when I was waiting to be picked up at the airport, I complained a lot about "Japanese" and "GA" to my acquaintances at the airport.
I wonder if Naoki Nagayama heard it!
"Working in this industry means being exposed to various cultures!" Naoki Nagayama said with a smile.
His eyes were still on the Kowloon Walled City. This legendary walled city would be used by many people in the future as a prototype for the creation of cyber elements, and it is still very strange now.
Sitting in the car, passing through the crowded traffic and looking at the streets full of cultural blending, the group finally arrived at the Peninsula Hotel.
The hotel doorman in a white uniform and white hat opened the glass door, enthusiastically helped carry the luggage, and led the group to check in.
The hotel combines classicism and elegance, with Baroque-style architecture and decorations, and luxurious crystal lamps, which are magnificent and grand. It deserves the reputation of "the lady of the Far East".
After checking in, the group finally arrived at their suite. Wu Qiwen said very respectfully:
"Naoki-san has been on the plane for such a long time. You must be very tired along the way. Please have a good rest today~"
"I'll be waiting in the lobby tomorrow morning and take you to TVB to discuss business. Then we'll go sightseeing in Hong Kong. I've already planned the itinerary and I'll definitely let you all know the charm of Hong Kong!"
In a strange city, there are not many people in Hong Kong who speak Japanese. Wu Qiwen is not worried about a few people going out casually~
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Naoki Nagayama nodded and bid farewell to Wu Qiwen.
Then I turned back to my suite, which was facing the bay of Victoria Harbour. The afternoon sun was warm and the azure sea view outside the window was breathtaking.
A little further away, there are bustling commercial streets, shopping malls with people coming and going, and alleys full of fireworks.
It’s a pity that I can only stand inside the hotel and look at it, and I can’t experience it in person.
"I'm home now!"
Naoki Nagayama was a little emotional. He stood in front of the window and admired it for a while. Suddenly, he slapped his thigh:
“I don’t need an interpreter to take me out!
I can go shopping by myself! I don’t need a translator!”
After thinking about this, Naoki Nagayama immediately called the front desk, called a taxi, took his passport and wallet, and happily walked towards Hong Kong outside the Peninsula Hotel.
As for Masataka Komori and Kyon Kimura in the other room?
Who are these two? I don't know them. I'm not familiar with them!
