Chapter 287 Returning to Japan to Buy a House

The last time Shion supported her agent in Tsuburaya, she tasted the sweetness.

Not only can it make it easier for you to control the company, but it can also allow capable people to help you manage the company and reduce trouble.

"That Kevin Feige guy, what do you think?"

Shion had a good impression of the guy who dared to come to her office to fool people.

Although Shion was very unhappy that the man dared to deceive her, if she were a subordinate, this shameless spirit was still worth encouraging.

More importantly, Kevin Feige is also the current executor of Marvel's "Iron Man", which makes Shion more fond of him than Avi Arad, who can only talk.

After all, no matter how much Western education she received, Shion still has the habits and hobbies of a Japanese entrepreneur.

Employees who are willing to work hard are obviously more popular in Shion's eyes.

But Nanaya immediately rejected Shion's idea.

"That's impossible. Marvel's situation is much more complicated than Tsuburaya's."

Compared to Tsuburaya, which has a single power structure, Marvel cannot just deal with Avi Arad alone.

Moreover, compared to the Tsuburaya family, which has lost the support of the people, Avi Arad still has absolute prestige in Marvel.

After all, Avi Arad is the hero who freed Marvel from Wall Street capitalists. Unless the "Iron Man" he is currently leading fails miserably, there is no way to affect his position in Marvel in the short term.

But what good would it do for Nanaya and Washimine to kill Iron Man?

What Nanaya wants to buy out of Marvel is only a small part of the story. Huge profits are what he pursues.

And if they really want to use force, the most likely scenario is that Marvel will be deliberately crippled by Avi Arad.

What I can't get, no one else can get.

There are always many people who hold such thoughts. Just think about it, even a powerful company like Disney in the past life couldn't do anything to Avi Arad.

It wasn't until Avi Arad's failure in "Avengers 2" that Disney seized the opportunity to kick him out.

"I think we can have a deep talk with Avi Arad." Nanaya rubbed his temple and said, "Let's cut the meat slowly and guarantee his rights in Marvel for the time being."

"You actually would do that?"

Shion thought Nanaya would stand on her side. The working model of [Erque Studio] made her think that Nanaya has always been a person with a strong desire for control.

Even if he doesn't have direct control over it, he should let Marvel follow his own ideas.

As a result, this time Nanaya would actually hand over the power to someone else, which made Shion a little curious.

"Well, the first thing now is to ensure the stable development of Marvel. After all, Avi Arad is not incompetent."

Nanaya shook his head. Anyway, Avi Arad's work in the early stage of MCU was acceptable. At least he laid a solid foundation for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

To be honest, Nanaya himself knows the various advantages and disadvantages of Marvel movies, and can even pinpoint the specific problems of a movie.

But Nanaya doesn't think he can come up with a better solution, after all, Marvel movies pursue popular entertainment.

This will inevitably make the work less than perfect.

In this case, Nanaya thinks it would be better to let Marvel follow the established path of the previous life.

Of course, Nanaya does not intend to ignore Marvel. He will just learn from Disney in his previous life and wait until the Marvel Universe is established, and then Avi Arad can go away.

Nanaya has no psychological burden at all when it comes to demolishing employees who can no longer create business value.

"Boiling a frog in warm water? In other words, you still plan to support your own agent, right?"

Nanaya told Shion his thoughts, and the other party immediately guessed what he was thinking.

"Isn't this exactly what I was thinking?"

Nanaya said helplessly: "But my plan is to complete this replacement within 5 years, because we don't have a suitable partner now. Unlike Tsuburaya, we lack like-minded partners like Li Wenshu at Marvel."

"I see." Shion nodded. "I'll talk to Avi Arad in detail. You should leave North America for the time being."

"Uh, why should I leave?"

Nanaya didn't expect Shion to suddenly say this.

"What can I do~"

Shion's mouth formed a ω shape. "Who told me that I was the one being taken advantage of in this matter? I'm really worried that I'll act like a spoiled child to my parents in order to get the toy earlier during the negotiation~ It will be hard for me to refuse then~"

"Tsk, I won't do that!"

Nanaya said unhappily, but his tone was not firm.

Although he considers himself a capitalist, he is essentially a director.

Even though he is not as pretentious as those art directors, he still behaves quite emotionally at times.

So, in order not to let his emotions disturb himself, Nanaya decisively boarded a plane to leave North America and left all the negotiations with Marvel to Shion.

It just so happened that Nanaya had been thinking about buying a house in Tokyo, and this time when he returned to Japan he planned to take care of this matter.

Buying a house is a very tedious matter, and Nanaya plans to take this opportunity to get it done directly.

I have said before that a single-family house with a yard is Nanaya's dream.

Buying a house this time is the fulfillment of Nanaya's two lifelong dream.

If you are going to do something, you have to do it to the best of your ability. Nanaya thought to himself that he would buy a good house even if he had to sell everything he had.

"So, you are here just to guard the door for me?"

Nanaya looked at Ori and Shiki, who came with him to the real estate agency, with an unhappy look on his face.

He had invited Ori to come over to look at houses with him, but Shiki's appearance was completely unexpected.

"Don't say that." Shiki patted his shoulder and said, "You guys don't even know how deep the water is in the real estate industry, but you jump in. What if you get cheated?"

"Are you here just to help me keep an eye on the scam?"

Nanaya felt that this guy was here to laugh at him, after all, he was too familiar with this smile.

"How is that possible? I just came to see the house by chance." Shiki covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "I plan to settle down in Tokyo in the future, so this is a good opportunity to take a look at the house in advance."

Ori rolled his eyes at Shiki and said, "Sister, since you are supported by me, please stop talking."

"Why do you live in Tokyo? Aren't you from Kyoto?"

If it was Ori, Nanaya could still understand.

After all, Ori is now considered a successful person in Tokyo, so it is not surprising that he bought a house and settled down there.

If you want to...

To be honest, Nanaya didn't know what Shiki was here for. Although she said she was here to look at the house, Nanaya always felt that she had ulterior motives.

In fact, after filming "Kara no Kyoukai", Shiki no longer had any acting assignments.

Of course, with the success of the role of [Shiki Ryougi], it will be no problem for Shiki to get roles in Japanese movies or TV dramas.

However, this girl is completely different from Ori. After completing two movies, Shiki never worked again and spent her days in Tokyo living a life of idleness and waiting to die.

According to Shiki herself, she did not want to return to Kyoto because she felt uncomfortable with the Ryougi couple.

But Nanaya felt that the main reason why this young lady didn't want to go home was that she had to be nagged by her parents to follow the rules in her hometown.

At present, apart from his own acting salary, Shiki is basically an ultimate otaku who relies on her younger brother for support to pay for her living expenses.

You know, the only job Shiki has taken on recently is probably the guest appearance as Ayako Mizutsugi in "Fate".

In comparison, Ori is a good child who works hard to make progress.

The recent seasons of "The Solitary Gourmet" have been getting better and better, and Nanaya is already planning to let him start taking on some more difficult types of TV dramas to practice.

If this TV series can get a passing score, Nanaya feels that his junior brother can try to take over commercial films.

In addition to working, Ori also has to take care of her sister. All these make Nanaya feel that Ori's life is not easy.

To be honest, the longer Nanaya spends with the Ryogi siblings, the more he feels that Ori is much more sensible than Shiki.

Nanaya felt that he couldn't let this go on any longer.

[Let Tamari find her a job next month. That kid seems to be living a comfortable life recently.]

Because Washimine took charge of all promotional matters for "Fate", Tamari Tsukasa, the studio's only agent, has been on paid leave almost since last year.

Now Tamari has nothing to do except clocking in at the studio on time every day.

Although he still had to do some chores like cleaning, it was not a good idea to let him rest like this all the time.

Nanaya planned to ask him to find some work for the only two actors in his studio, Shiki Ryougi and Yoshinaga Yukari, otherwise these guys would be wasted by him.

With the current popularity of these two actors, Nanaya believes that this is definitely not a difficult task.

Although Nana-pig is not as emotionless as the capitalists, he still has the thinking of a capitalist.

After all, the landlord doesn't have any surplus food, so he can't support idle people.

Nanaya looked at Shiki, who was sitting in the front seat of the car, with a malicious gleam in his eyes.

[Hmm... it's a bit cold. Is the weather getting colder? Or is the car's air conditioner on? ]

Shiki shuddered, she inadvertently felt the malice of her boss.

When the car stopped at the place agreed upon by the agent, Shiki immediately jumped out of the car. She suspected that there was something unclean in the car.

"Then, Director Kiryu, I'll park the car over there." The car driver pointed to an empty lot not far away. "You guys are going to go see the house later, I'll take you there."

"Thank you for your help."

Nanaya nodded.

"No, it's my duty." The driver said respectfully, "The chairman asked me to receive you well."

After saying that, the other party drove away.

On the other hand, as Nanaya and his friends approached the agreed coffee shop, a middle-aged man came up to them.

"Hello, Mr. Kiryu"

A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties bowed and said to Nanaya and the other two, "My name is Tanaka, and I'm the agent introduced by Mr. Hanai."

Nanaya's mouth twitched slightly. When he heard this name, his first reaction was that the other party's mother was currently doing Brownian motion in the sky and had not landed on the ground.
