Tokyo Bubble Life

As the legal officer of Shuyou, Ishizaki Takanori has never had a strong presence in the company, because his main job is to review contracts, draft agreements, etc., which are all jobs buried in piles of paper.
When I was still in school, I imagined that legal workers would be full of vigor and enthusiasm in court, citing classics and arguing with reason to uphold the justice of the parties, and then win the admiration of everyone. In the end, they could not withstand the thick contract terms in front of them.
As Shuyou continues to grow and its business increases, the heavy workload always keeps people trapped in the office and unable to go out!

But today, Ishizaki Takanori wore the most formal suit, tied the most conspicuous tie, polished his gold-rimmed glasses, carried a brand new briefcase, and drove the company's luxury Mercedes-Benz with two of his men from the legal department.
Arrived at the headquarters building of Tokyo Sports!

Even the original receptionist was impressed by his aura and did not feel the need to stop them, allowing the three people to go straight to the editorial office area. The editor-in-chief's office was right in front of them!
At this time, no one in the editorial department of the entire newspaper paid attention to these people. They all gathered in front of a public TV in the office area, watching the real-time news on it!
The person who appeared on the screen was Sugiyama Zhiyan, the head of the Shuyou Publicity Department, who was making a statement to a group of reporters:

"Recently, our company has noticed that some media have published false information, spread rumors, and maliciously slandered Mr. Naoki Nagayama, attempting to mislead the public, cause public pressure, and make uninformed people have a bad impression of Mr. Naoki Nagayama and make false evaluations of him."

"These actions have seriously damaged the reputation, privacy and other civil rights of Mr. Naoki Nagayama of our company."

"For these actions, our company will collect evidence, file a formal lawsuit, and resolutely safeguard Naoki Nagayama's legal rights!"

"."

As soon as Sugiyama Toshihiko finished his words, the media around him all frantically pressed their shutter buttons and raised their hands in anticipation of asking questions.

And Sugiyama Toshihiko also selected one or two:

"May I ask what is Director Naoki Nagayama's attitude towards this matter?"

"The statement I just issued is Naoki-san's attitude!"

"Excuse me, how is Naoki-san now?"

"Naoki-san is currently busy editing Ghost and has no time or energy to deal with this matter."

"Mr. Yongshan, don't you want to explain?!"

"After Naoki-san read the newspaper, we asked him if he wanted to explain, but he only said one sentence, 'I, Naoki Nagayama, have done things all my life, so why should I explain to others!'"

"."

After saying this, Sugiyama Toshihiko announced that today's press conference was over, and then left the camera after the reporters reluctantly asked him to leave.
This live broadcast ends here!
After the images on the TV screen changed, the discussion in the editorial office of the Tokyo Sports News suddenly became louder.

"You're actually going to sue?" "Are you serious?" "You're not that stingy, are you?" "Sue then, we've even had news about the Prime Minister, what's there to be afraid of!" "He didn't explain, is there really something going on?" "I think that reply is very domineering, I want to use it in my next article" "."

Looking at this editorial office that looked like a vegetable market, Takanori Ishizaki shook his head, and then decided to give the Tokyo Sports News some more "tree friend shock"!
"Clap clap clap!"

The strong slapping of his palms produced a loud noise, which also made Ishizaki Takanori's hands numb and sore that he could not even feel it for a long time. However, for the sake of face, he gritted his teeth and swallowed the painful groan.
So what everyone at the Tokyo Sports News saw was a man gritting his teeth and looking very angry.
"Um, who are you looking for?"

"Who is the editor-in-chief of Tokyo Sports, Junichi Imamura?"

Ishizaki Takanori hid his numb hands behind his back and asked word by word.

The three men with cold and hard faces and wearing black suits actually looked indescribably vicious!
With his tone, expression, and attire, everyone subconsciously made way for Junichi Imamura who was watching the live broadcast with them.

Even the editor-in-chief, Junichi Imamura, was a little nervous for a while, but when he thought about the fact that this was the headquarters of the Tokyo Sports Daily and there were so many colleagues, he regained his courage:

"I just want to ask you what you want from me?"

"Oh you are!"

Ishizaki Takanori looked him up and down, nodded, and then strode over. His imposing manner made no one dared to stop him.

He stopped about a step away from Imamura Junichi, put his briefcase on the desk next to him, and took out a letter.
"I'm here on behalf of the tree friends!"

"Send a lawyer's letter to the Tokyo Sports Daily."

"If you don't make an apology according to the conditions in the lawyer's letter, we will formally file a lawsuit!

When the time comes, don’t say I didn’t warn you! "

"."

The speech was delivered in one fluent breath, and it was extremely refreshing!

After Ishizaki Takanori handed the lawyer's letter to Imamura Junichi, he immediately turned around and strode away with his men, pretending to run away. It was so cool!!!
After leaving the headquarters, his subordinate Yuya Oyama asked:
"Ishizaki-san, why are we walking so fast? Didn't we say we were going to teach them a lesson?"

Ishizaki Takanori rolled his eyes:
"Are you an idiot? Didn't we just throw a lawyer's letter in their faces? And this is the headquarters of Tokyo Sports, after all. It's full of their people. There are only three of us. What if we get beaten?!"

"Yes, yes." Another person who followed, Yuya Otsuka, echoed, "We legal workers are civilized people, we don't fight!"

"."

After the three legal teams from Shuyou left, Tokyo Sports editor-in-chief Junichi Imamura opened the lawyer's letter.

The other editors and reporters who were around also saw the contents of the lawyer's letter.
"What? An apology on the front page for a week?" "A compensation of 100 million for the loss of reputation and mental damage?" "Fire the person directly responsible" "."

"Isn't this too harsh?!" "There is no sincerity at all!" "What do you want to do?!"

Many editors were in an uproar. This lawyer's letter was simply asking for too much. If the plan was implemented, the Tokyo Sports News would definitely be seriously damaged!

"Editor-in-chief, we can't agree to this!" "Imura-san, fight them, sue them!" "Don't be afraid!"

"."

Amid the crowd's voices, Junichi Imamura raised his head and smiled:
"Don't worry. We at Tokyo Sports are not easy to mess with! We have thousands of media outlets working behind us and we will never agree to this!"

"That's right!" "You are the editor-in-chief!" "So handsome!"

".Okay, let's get to work!"

After saying this, Junichi Imamura returned to his office, his eyes rolling around, and he kept thinking.

Ten minutes later, he made a phone call.
"Yes. The lawyer's letter has been sent!" "The conditions are very harsh!" "What should we do now?" "."

In the outside world, after the spokesperson of Shuyou Group held a press conference, the entire entertainment industry was suddenly in an uproar.

Yesterday's news revelations have already caused quite a bit of discussion, and today Naoki Nagayama has added fuel to the fire.
There are countless discussions surrounding this topic. However, Naoki Nagayama himself, who is at the center of the public opinion storm, is as calm as if he is in the eye of the storm.

He was in the editing room, working on the final part of the film.

Robert, who was originally in the office next door, also came out and was in an office with other editors. His special effects shots had been completely completed.

“Let’s save this close-up shot of Akina for last.”

Naoki Nagayama said,

"The hero has passed away, but the living have to continue. And the scene of Akina crying is very good, and it is also a classic as the last scene!"

"Hi!" Kyon Kimura nodded and continued working on the editing table.

"The theme song "Unchained Melody" also played at the end. I won't show the Easter eggs and tidbits this time. I'll just jump to the credits!"

Naoki Nagayama looked back at Robert.
"Robert, you're up there too!"

“Thank you Director Yongshan!”

Robert responded with a smile, but he wasn't too excited. It wasn't like he wanted more money!
"Once the beginning and the end are added, the editing of this film will be almost done!" Naoki Nagayama straightened his bent body and said with emotion, "The next step is to go to the Film Technology Factory to make copies!"

"Hi, we've made the contact!"

Nishimoto Banyuki said beside him,
"Expedited processing. Guaranteed to be completed before Christmas."

Today's film technology factories are semi-automated when copying master tapes, so with about half a month left, there is no problem in expediting the copying.

"it is good"

In the evening, after the editing was completed, Naoki Nagayama and several editors went to the screening room next door and watched the entire version of "Ghost" from beginning to end.

From the sweetness at the beginning, to the shock and sadness of the sudden accident, and then to the protagonist's soul body to protect his girlfriend and defeat the villain
Whether it was the famous "pottery-making" scene, the perfect background music, or the eye-opening mind-moving objects and walking through walls, directors Kyon Kimura and Banyuki Nishimoto all enjoyed the show with gusto.

When the screening was over, several people in the small screening room applauded.

"Naoki-san, this movie will definitely go down in film history!" Nishimoto Banyuki said excitedly, "Even after watching it so many times, it's still very moving!"

"Love and revenge are the eternal highlights of a story!"

Naoki Nagayama smiled and said,

"In the future, if you make movies in these two directions, you won't have to worry about no one watching them."

At this time, Kimura took down the master tape and put it in a film box:
"Naoki-san, are you going to announce to the public now that the film editing is complete?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Naoki Nagayama's face. Everyone knew about the sudden public opinion that started yesterday.

"Let's not let this topic ferment for another two days." Naoyama Naoki shook his head, "Let's see how Tokyo Sports responds to me."

"Do they still dare to stand up to it?" Nishimoto Banyuki asked in surprise, "The facts are clear. If they go to court, they will definitely lose!"

"Haha, so let's see if anyone makes them hard afterwards!"

Naoki Nagayama gently played with the master tape box in his hand. He always felt that the news broke too quickly this time. He always felt that someone was instigating behind the scenes.

He looked at the label on the film box, which contained the basic production information of Ghost, and specifically marked "Master Tape".
"Ghost. It's not really for you, is it?"

In the last month of the year, the discussion about "Naoki Nagayama's illegitimate child" and "Naoki Nagayama suing the media" was even hotter than "Seiko Matsuda returned to the Red and White Songs Festival two months after giving birth"!

Yes, Seiko Matsuda just announced through her agency that she will make a comeback at the Red and White Songs Festival. She was expecting it to become a national hot topic, but unexpectedly, she was overshadowed by Naoki Nagayama!

"Naoki Nagayama."

Seiko Matsuda watched the live news broadcast, her expression was hard to tell whether she was angry or helpless.
"Why do I feel like your ghost is haunting me?"

At this time, her mother, Mrs. Puchi, came over holding Sayaka, looked at the news on the screen and asked:

"Fa Zi, you are well-informed in the entertainment industry. Does Nagayama Naoki really have an illegitimate child?"

"do not know!"

Seiko Matsuda was a little angry and hugged Sayaka in her arms.
"Who can be sure of this kind of guy who will abandon you after having sex with you?"

"And you abandoned me after having sex with me?! To whom?" Mrs. Pu Chi's eyes lit up, "Be careful!"

"."

It's your daughter herself!

At the same time, in a KTV in Shibuya district, Kenki Kurita, director of the Agency for Cultural Affairs, was with Nobuo Asai, chairman of the Film Promotion Association.

Of course, the two of them were not here to sing, but were playing songs in the box, but they were actually having a conversation.

"I was thinking that if Naoki Nagayama explained, I would let Tokyo Sports spread rumors again, but I didn't expect that Shuyou would directly file a lawsuit!"

Kurita Kenki said,

"Why doesn't this guy follow the routine?"

Nobuo Asai was a little strange:
"Captain Kurita, didn't you say before that this news was true? And Naoki Naoki doesn't dare to prove it?"

"No matter what he replies, as long as he proves himself, I can continue to question him and ask him to prove himself. Anyway, no matter what you say, I just don't believe it."

Kurita Kenki said,

"But if we want to sue, we need evidence and facts, there is no other way."

"Does that mean that this wave of public opinion will not affect the box office of Shuyou's new movie?" Nobuo Asai was a little anxious.

During this period, Shuichi Ido of Shuyou, relying on the good box office of his company's movies and the great potential of Shuyou in the future, has been colluding with people everywhere to establish the Tokyo Film Association and a support fund, saying that it will support the development of the film industry. This has seriously affected Nobuo Asai's Film Promotion Association!

The functions are similar, so why not listen to a boss who has experience in film production?

Moreover, Naoki Nagayama, Sadanaga Kiba, Yasuko Ikebo and others seem to have connected and proposed similar ideas in the Ministry of Education, clearly competing for the position of the next high-ranking official in the Ministry of Education.
Kiba Sadanaga wants the Vice Minister of Education, Education, just like me, Ikebo Yasuko, and she is targeting my Director-General of the Agency for Cultural Affairs!
This put pressure on Kenki Kurita and Nobuo Asai of the Agency for Cultural Affairs, so after the incident, they directly let the Tokyo Sports News, which they supported, break the news.
Naoki Nagayama, who wants to make his tree friends fall flat on his face in the new movie.

The love between Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori is considered a perfect relationship in the industry. In the promotional materials for Ghost, the love between the two and the male and female protagonists in the movie were repeatedly promoted together.
Let many people believe in love~
If news came out at this time that the relationship had changed and one party had cheated, it would definitely be a major blow to the box office of "Ghost"!
But unexpectedly, facing this wave of public opinion offensive, Naoki Nagayama did not even give an explanation, but instead went straight to the front!
"Then let the Tokyo Sports News delay the lawsuit process a little longer?" Asai Nobuo said, "If we wait until after the release of the film, the impact on the box office will have already been done!"

Kurita Kenki shook his head.

"He called me earlier and said that the requirements in the lawyer's letter were very harsh and if we didn't mediate and negotiate, we would definitely lose the lawsuit!"

"Can't it last for a month?"

"Do you think you are the financial backer behind Tokyo Sports? Leaking the news can be said to be for exposure and sales. But hard capping is a direct declaration of war against Shuyou.
I have a good relationship with the editor-in-chief of Tokyo Sports, Imamura, but I don’t think he would work for me at all costs!

"What should I do?"

"It's nothing. If it doesn't work once, there's always next time. Anyway, this time Naoki Nagayama was more or less scared!"

"."

"If you want a position in the Ministry of Education, there's still a lot of competition!"
