"Didn't this guy Nagayama Naoki just get married?"

Toei's head office, Ogasawara Takafumi, saw Shuyu starting the casting meeting again and couldn't help complaining,

“Can’t you just go on your honeymoon and relax?!”

Early in the morning, he was informed by his subordinates that Shuyu Pictures' new TV series "Tokyo Love Story" had been approved and was undergoing extensive casting in the entertainment industry. Ogasawara Takafumi's mentality was about to explode!

Since the beginning of the new year, the entertainment industry has been shrouded in the shadow of "Hayato: A New World". With widespread publicity, excellent reputation, and huge box office sales... almost the entire New Year period has been occupied by this movie.

.

And now that the popularity has finally begun to decline, you told me that Shuyou’s next drama is about to start filming again?!

Don’t these guys from the Tree Friends Group know what rest is?

Are their people all incompetent and not taking vacations?!

"Director, "Tokyo Love Story" is a TV series... not a movie!" Assistant Toru Nakano advised, "Maybe I want to take advantage of the popularity of the novel and make a TV series directly."

"It usually takes one or two years for film studios to adapt IP. The novel "Tokyo Love Story" has only just started to be sold! There isn't even a large readership base!"

Ogasawara Takafumi said angrily, getting angrier and angrier as he spoke.

"Aren't they afraid of failure when adapting a novel that has just gained popularity? Aren't they afraid of failure? The audience won't buy it? Aren't they afraid that their investment will be wasted?!"

"..."

Nakano Toru opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say that "Tokyo Love Story" is now very popular!

Even Toei's employees would talk about the novel when chatting at work. They all said that this kind of urban love suited their taste, and they were looking around to see if there was a girl as cheerful and enthusiastic as Akana Rika...

...

As word of mouth grows, this novel will definitely become more and more famous in the future~

But seeing the angry look on his head, Toru Nakano wisely shut up!

"Any other news?"

After all, Ogasawara Takafumi was the head of the headquarters, so he quickly adjusted his mood.

"Ah, and... there is news from the industry that Naoki Nagayama is looking for a singer for his new song, this time it is a male singer..."

"Isn't there Yutaka Ozaki under Shuyou? Isn't he the affectionate prince who is very popular nowadays?" Ogasawara Takafumi said unexpectedly.

"It is said that the new song has vocal requirements, and Ozaki Yutaka is not suitable..." Toru Nakano paused, "It is said that this song will be the theme song of "Tokyo Love Story"..."

"How can it be repaired? The theme song has even been prepared!!!"

Ogasawara Takafumi now has nothing to say. Shuyou Group has Naoki Nagayama, who does everything from scripts, production, direction, editing, and even the current promotional theme song!

It’s almost like one person can take down an entire company! How can others compete like this?!

"I simply won't let others live!"

Seeing that a new company like Shuyu Group was about to be on an equal footing with an established company like Toei Toho, Ogasawara Takafumi felt an indescribable feeling of powerlessness.

I just feel that the so-called rich connections, the tentacles spread all over the entertainment industry, the deep-rooted and complex interest chains, and the efforts of Toei people for generations have become a joke!

"Director, don't worry so much... A company that develops too fast may not have much time..."

Nakano Tooru quickly comforted,

"There is an old saying in China that goes, 'When it flourishes, it also falls suddenly.' A tree friend without a foundation will not last long!"

"..."

Ogasawara Takabumi nodded, feeling slightly comforted.

At this moment, Planning Minister Toshitaka Yamamura knocked on the door and walked in:

"Headmaster... I heard that Shuyou has set up a creative center and is recruiting screenwriters from the literature departments and screenwriter associations of various universities~ There are also rumors that established companies like ours are poaching people..."

"...The foundation..."

In fact, some people say that the most important thing in the entertainment industry is money and capital, others say that the most important thing is star actors, and still others say it is the platform and connections... But no one focuses on the most basic and ordinary place -

-script.

Movies and TV series require scripts, variety shows require scripts, comics require scripts, the stage requires scripts, and even celebrity scandals require plot books. In the entertainment industry, it is like eating and drinking, but no company can do without it~

This script may seem ordinary, and it seems that it can recruit hundreds of screenwriters at a beck of call, but it is an important cornerstone that supports the entertainment industry.

Toei and Toho both have creative teams within their own systems, and now Shuyou Group has begun to establish a creative center, which has already made up for their own shortcomings.

As long as this company does not encounter a dimensionality reduction blow like the financial crisis, even if it is temporarily decadent, it will stand up again!

"From now on, it should be Toei Toho Shochiku and Shuyu..."

As for Kadokawa, it’s just Nikkatsu’s corpse~

.......

Although Guan Shuyou Pictures once again made waves in the entertainment industry, Naoki Nagayama was working step by step.

A few days ago, I accompanied Akina for another prenatal check-up. The fetal development was normal, and when I saw my daughter's small body curled up in Akina's belly, Naoki Nagayama felt unspeakably moved...

.

Today, when Akina was sleepy and went to sleep again, he took some time and came to the Tree Friends Building again.

"Naoki-san, these are the actors' information collected in the past few days..."

Masamin Inada handed a stack of information to Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Itou.

Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Itou were flipping through the photos. They were all male artists with similar appearances and ages in the acting world. They were dark, thin and honest, and they generally fit the role of Kanji Nagao.

After flipping through a few pictures, Nagayama Naoki didn't pay much attention to it. Anyway, what he cared about most was the heroine.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Where is the heroine?"

"According to Naoki-san's request, the candidate for the heroine specially collected videos and put them all into a videotape..."

Inada Masami turned on the TV in the office, put the video tape he brought into the VCR and played it.

Various enthusiastic and lively images of female artists appeared on the screen. Some were screenshots of auditions, some were self-introductions, and some were interviews on the street...

Inada Masamin introduced the candidates' information to the two of them while playing. He had memorized all the information for today's presentation.

Nagayama Naoki held his chin and watched the casting candidates slide by, but he did not show any expression of satisfaction.

"Naoki-san...isn't there anything suitable?"

Itou Shuichi had already sketched out the candidates. Seeing the frowning Naoki Nagayama, he couldn't help but ask,

"I think they are all cheerful and lively, and they look very cute, with a sense of comics..."

"But, what I want..."

Naoki Nagayama rubbed his cheek, as if he was thinking about how to explain, and then when he turned his head, he saw the gloomy weather outside the window.

"She is the kind of heroine who makes the cloudy sky outside become sunny once she smiles..."

"..."

Itou Shuichi and Inada Masamin subconsciously looked out the window, then turned their heads and looked at each other, feeling very helpless.

"Naoki-san, you're not looking for an actress, you're looking for a legendary miko, right?!"

Itou Shuichi shook his head, feeling amused by his friend's statement.

Masamin Inada also complained in a low voice: "How can humans control the weather?!"

Seeing the resentful expressions of the two people, Nagayama Naoki joked:

"Don't you know that in ancient times there was a kind of divine being called the Son of the Weather? It is said that he has the super power to make the weather sunny!"

"...."

The two of them became more and more speechless. They looked at Naoki Nagayama with eyes that looked at Naoki Nagayama. Having been with Naoki Nagayama for so long, they already knew that Naoki Nagayama had a hobby of teasing people~

"Okay, okay, stop joking~" Seeing that he was not fooled, Nagayama Naoki returned to the topic, "These candidates are very lively and cheerful... but they are still a little bit less infectious.

....”

"What I want is the kind of smile that I can't forget the first time I see it..."

"..."

Alas~~~the more confused the standards, the higher the requirements!

Just like some people, when they are looking for a partner, they say very nicely, as long as they are a normal person...then the actual requirements must be sky-high~

Nagayama Naoki discussed with Itou Shuichi and the others for a long time in the office, and finally decided on a rough range of candidates for the male lead and supporting male and female roles.

Just wait for the final audition to find the most suitable one.

As for the heroine...Naoki Nagayama gave some pointers based on his last impression:

"Yamin-kun, you can ask the people on the major production crews to see if they paid attention to the newcomers with impressive smiles during filming..."

"Hi, I understand~"
