But today, when filming was in full swing, a person suddenly came to the set...

"Shuichi-san?" Naoki Nagayama was a little surprised when he saw Itou Shuichi during the intermission, "Why are you here? Are you here to visit?"

"Haha, that's right~" Yi Tangxiu nodded and sat down in the director's studio, "I stopped by to see if the set I had booked is ready..."

"Ah, that "man with zero presence"!"

Nagayama Naoki suddenly remembered Itou Shuichi’s film project, and then asked curiously,

"Didn't you say you were looking for other investors before? There have been results?"

"Yeah..." Itou Shuichi naturally wouldn't hide it, "I went to get investment from Toho...and some sponsors from advertisers, mainly advertisements for home appliances and washing machines...

..Don’t tell me, Naoki-san, the signboard of Shuyou Pictures is really tough now..."

Seeing Shuichi Itou talking endlessly, Naoki Nagayama decisively grasped the key words:

"Did you just say Dongbao?!"

"Yes..." Itou Shuichi said again, "In addition to Toho, there is also..."

"Akidou sack, is it Toho?!" Nagayama Naoki was even more surprised, "How can Toho cooperate with our tree friends? Isn't it a competitor?"

"How is it impossible?!"

Itou Xiuyi's tone was filled with pride,

"Isn't there a saying that there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!"

"What's wrong with Toho cooperating with us? Before Shuyu, Toho and Toei, Toho and Shochiku, Shochiku and Kadokawa..."

There are only so many investors in the film industry, and the established film studios are actually their representatives... It is common for everyone to collaborate on a project to make money...

Of course, the premise is that you have the qualifications to enter this circle...otherwise you will face collective suppression from the circle...

And now Shuyou Pictures has become a member of the circle!

"How much was invested?" Naoki Nagayama asked, "How much is the share?"

"Invest 500 million... If they want to share it, they want 30% of the box office... But Toho's theater resources can also be used..." Itou Shuichi explained.

"It's not bad..." Naoki Nagayama nodded. This investment is already a lot. "Are there no other conditions?"

"Of course..." Itou Shuichi said, "The heroine needs to use Toho Cinderella... Sawaguchi Yasuko..."

"Haha, I really brought money to join the group..."

Nagayama Naoki breathed a sigh of relief. This is a very common thing in the film industry. In the past, all the investments were made by tree friends themselves.

"Sawaguchi Yasuko's words..."

The bright face of this last beauty of the Showa era flashed through his mind. Naoki Nagayama was quite satisfied with Yasuko Sawaguchi.

"If Shuichi-san thinks it's okay, there will definitely be no problem!"

"I think so too!" Itou Shuichi laughed, "I came here for an audition before, and he is indeed an actor that people can remember at a glance... The contrast with Kyū Kijima is very sharp!"

"Ah, by the way, Shuichi-san, you want Kijima-kun to play the leading role!" Nagayama Naoki laughed, "Kijima-kun must be very nervous now! He is filming "101 Proposals", is it too late?"

"'101 Proposals' has reached the last five episodes... My movie is expected to start shooting next month, he will have no problem!"

Itou Shuichi gave Nagayama Naoki some reassurance.

"This movie will definitely make money steadily!"

"Haha, I have great confidence in Xiu Yi-san!"

Nagayama Naoki encouraged that he was just worried that when this movie is released, people will subconsciously ignore the existence of the protagonist...maybe it will lead to supernatural stories such as urban legends...

"The Unfindable Movie Protagonist" "A Man Who Really Has Zero Presence"...

After chatting with Naoki Nagayama for a while in the studio, Shuichi Itou left in high spirits. He still wanted to go see the venue in person!

........

Shimizu City, Shizuoka.

Near the old house of the Yongshan Group, two sneaky figures were secretly looking at the car.

"This is Naoki Nagayama's grandfather's house...that Yakuza boss..."

"Weekly Bunshun" editor-in-chief Sakata Kota and reporter Kotaro Ohara came to Naoki Nagayama's hometown together. They visited the location more than half a month in advance!

"Yes, we saw Yakuza guarding the gate!" Editor-in-chief Sakata Kota nodded, and then quickly retracted into the car, "But let's not mess with them, and don't forget the purpose of our coming!"

"Hmm, we have to find the Yongshan family's temple!" Kotaro Ohara said with determination, "We have to sneak in in advance!"

Kotaro Ohara is a reporter who did not hesitate to become a monk and take photos of weddings... After arriving in Qingshui, the two directly found the Nagayama Group's residence, and then started asking around...

Although the Yongshan family's family temple is not big, its reputation is not small... This family temple was a temple supported by the nobles in the past, and it was the former owner of the current ancestral home of the Yongshan group...

After the family fell into decline, the clan members became samurai/ronin and established a society called the "Shimizu Family", which is said to have been passed down for five generations. Then Hayato Nagayama became the head of the Shimizu Family, turning the "Shimizu Family" into the "Nagayama Family".

Group...."

In short, the family temple has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is said to have a history of hundreds of years!

Although it is a family temple and does not open its doors to welcome pilgrims, it is well-known among nearby residents, and the two of them easily found out the location.

"Kantaro-kun, are you sure?"

Kota Sakata asked hesitantly,

"I really need to shave my head bald!"

Naturally, this family temple also accepts monks to become monks and practice Buddhism, but it is believed that monks must have six pure roots to practice, so they must remove the troubles... So if you want to enter the temple to practice, you must shave your head first!

This is a little different from other temples in Neon...

After the two went to inquire, they got this information. Even if they want to practice short-term practice, they have to be sincere! After all, the family temple does not make money, so it only accepts real practitioners...

"Silly tape! Your hair! It will grow back!" Kotaro Ohara said indifferently, "For the news and the truth, it's worth it!"

"...."

Kota Sakata touched the sparse hair on the top of his head and complained in his heart, "Kotaro Ohara, don't you know that word workers such as editors are the easiest to be 'smart'?!"

"Kantaro-kun, you are almost the same age now, so you should take good care of your hair!"

"???"

Kotaro Ohara touched his hair, and when he took it off, there were two more hairs on his hand...

I couldn't help but panic...

"Just this time. After this time, I will definitely buy the best hair cream and conditioner to protect my hair!"

"Now that you have made up your mind... let's go to the hair salon!"

"Um!"

Qingshui is not a big city... The hair salons here are naturally inherited from generation to generation. The craftsmanship cannot be said to be very good, but they are definitely very skilled!

After hearing the needs of Sakata Kota and the others, the hair salon owner was surprised and a little excited...

"Todoroki? Shave them all off?"

"Hey, I want to become a monk!" Kotaro Ohara said firmly, "I'm sorry for bothering you, boss!"

"Hahaha, this is the first time I've met a customer who wants to be shaved since I took over the salon!"

The owner of the hair salon became excited, then ran to the back and started searching, and soon came out with a box in his arms.

"Speaking of which... when it comes to shaving, it is better to use a razor! It will be clean and will not leave any stubble..."

"Scraper?" Kotaro Ohara started to panic again, "Boss, do you know how to use it?!"

"Of course! I learned it from my father!" the boss said, "but I never had the chance to use it! I heard that my grandfather was a professional shaver!"

"...."

"There is also a special shaving cream... said to be able to inhibit the growth of hair follicles..."

"!!!"

Kota Sakata immediately waved his hand,

"Forget this shaving cream for my friend! He has a thin scalp and is allergic to many chemicals!"

"Is there such a thing?" The owner of the hair salon was a little confused, but the customer came first, "Then forget it... Anyway, this shaving cream is only an auxiliary... The main thing is to rely on my scraper.

ah!"

"..." Kotaro Ohara looked at the sharp scraper and swallowed, "Boss-san... please be gentle..."

"..."
