After Fuji's "Tokyo Love Story" came to an end, subsequent TV series could not meet the expectations of the audience.

And other variety shows and the like have nothing new, so people have to change channels to find other alternatives.

At this time, TBS TV station steadily caught this wave of traffic, and its novel outdoor competitive reality show instantly attracted these viewers.

Yasushi Akimoto has been very proud of himself recently. The interesting interactions of the guests, novel games, and innovative formats in his "Fighting People" have made the audience very happy to watch it. The ratings have been soaring, and the broadcast time has also changed from the original evening time.

It’s time to talk about prime time!

This variety show already has the momentum of a pioneering work, and it seems that as long as it maintains its permanent guests and presence, plus the rotation of other guests, the popularity of the show can be maintained.

"Akimoto-san~" "Akimoto-san!" "Well done, Akimoto-kun!"

In the TBS clubhouse, all the TV staff members Akimoto met greeted him warmly. Even his boss patted him on the shoulder, praised him, and invited him to have a drink with him after get off work.

This situation is a bit like the treatment their production team received at Fuji TV when "Dusk Meow Meow" became popular, but at that time, Sugiura Oyasu and Nishi Rumi shared the honor with him, and there was also a faint Naoki Nagayama behind him.

shadow.

And now, these praises and smiles are all given to him alone!

"I just said I have this ability!!!"

Akimoto Yasushi had a smile on his face. In fact, he was very proud, otherwise he would not have thought that what he wrote was better than the TV station when he was in college, and then wrote the script to the TV station.

But after getting to know Nagayama Naoki a few years ago, I suddenly realized that there was a big mountain in front of me. Nagayama Naoki's talent was so great that I could only admire him...

However, now, he feels that he can do it again:

"Even Naoki-san can't produce a more interesting variety show than "Fighting People"!"

"Naoki-san, I have stepped out of your shadow!"

"I will definitely surpass you in the future!"

As for the "Of course" game at the beginning, it hasn't been played yet!

"Akimoto-san..." An administrator came to the office to inform him, "Director Kotaro Ogata wants to see you... now..."

"Oh? Director?"

Qiu Yuanyasu was a little surprised. He was not familiar with the station director, so he thought something big had happened to the program.

"Hi, I'll be there right away..."

After walking into Ogata Kotaro's office, Akimoto Yasushi found that the station director was talking to someone on the phone. He didn't hang up when he saw him coming, and motioned to him to wait for a while.

While waiting, Yasushi Akimoto heard words such as "broadcasting rights" and "international film festival", and did not hang up the phone until the end.

"Akimoto-kun...."

"Hi, Director..."

Qiu Yuanyasu asked respectfully,

"Did something happen to "Fighting People"?"

"Ah, that's not true."

Ogata Kotaro was stunned for a moment and shook his head.

Although this program is very popular, it has been sitting in this position for decades. TBS has experienced too many popular programs. This is just one of them, and it does not require too much attention from him.

"You did a great job on the show...keep up the hard work~" Kotaro Ogata praised a little, "But I didn't call you here this time because of the show..."

"??"

Looking at Akimoto Yasu's confused eyes, Ogata Kotaro didn't hide anything and asked directly:

"I heard that...when Akimoto Yasushi was at Fuji TV, he co-organized the "Twilight Meow" office in the production bureau..."

"Hi!" There's nothing to hide at this point, "I, Otasu Sugiura and Rumi Nishi are the earliest members..."

Kotaro Ogata was a little surprised:

"Didn't I hear that there is Naoki Nagayama?"

"Um...Naoki-san didn't join..." Akimoto Yasushi mentioned Nagayama Naoki for some reason, but he still returned, "At that time, Naoki-san was... considered a consultant

Bar....."

"We sometimes ask Naoki-san for his opinion for reference...but we don't necessarily know whether to use it..."

"Ah, that's it~"

Although he did not understand the specific identity, Ogata Kotaro's purpose was not to understand the production process of a program. He leaned forward slightly and

"In that case, the relationship between Akimoto-kun and Nagayama Naoki is very good, right?!"

"Well...that's right~"

Yasushi Akimoto was even more surprised, why did the director always mention Naoki Nagayama when he wanted to talk to me?

"That's good!" Kotaro Ogata nodded, "Akimoto-kun, do you know about the Tokyo International Film Festival?"

"Hi!"

"The first Tokyo International Film Festival had a great influence both domestically and internationally. The popularity and exposure during that period can be said to be rare in ten years."

Kotaro Ogata sighed,

"At that time, after we broadcast it, the ratings were comparable to year-end programs like the Red and White Song Festival. It had a great impact on our advertising business and other revenue."

Why do TV stations want to spend money to broadcast large-scale events such as the World Cup and Olympics? It is because there is a huge audience group, which will bring huge advertising revenue, and it can also demonstrate the influence of the TV station.

"But this time, the broadcasting rights were only authorized to Fuji TV!!"

Kotaro Ogata slapped the table angrily,

"Doesn't this mean that other TV stations are inferior to Fuji TV!"

"..."

Qiu Yuanyasu looked at the angry director and was confused for a moment. What does this have to do with me?!

"Director Ogata...this..."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ogata Kotaro looked at Akimoto Yasushi, his eyes were full of seriousness, of course it has something to do with you!

Because when the TV station communicated with the organizing committee of the Tokyo International Film Festival, they discovered that the broadcasting rights had been authorized!

Naturally, it is difficult to coordinate with Fuji TV, so I can only find tree friends!

Of course, TBS has cooperation with Shuyu, but even Yoshimura Otomo is not easy to talk about when it comes to the broadcast rights of the Tokyo International Film Festival.

Because Naoki Nagayama used the broadcasting rights in exchange for Fuji TV shares, only he could make such a decision.

But it’s hard to get a date with this guy Naoki Nagayama. There is actually no one who is familiar with Naoki Nagayama on TBS TV station!

Until... someone suggested that Yasushi Akimoto might be familiar with Naoki Nagayama, and he might be able to spread the word...

"So, I hope Akimoto-kun can help contact Nagayama Naoki, and we can come out to talk about the broadcast rights."

"...It's actually because of Naoki-san..."

After hearing this, Qiu Yuanyasu felt very complicated.

"Very few people know Naoki-san's personal phone number. When I was at Fuji TV, it was Nishi Rumi who contacted Naoki Nagayama..."

Yasushi Akimoto said it reluctantly, wanting to turn around and say that he didn't know Nagayama Naoki, but when he saw TBS director Ogata Kotaro's eyes becoming serious, he immediately changed his mind:

"But Naoki-san and I have also had several private phone calls. If you want to ask him out, I can give it a try."

"Then please!"

Ogata Kotaro nodded with satisfaction, and then said seriously,

"Please be sure to ask Nagayama Naoki out!"

The subtext is, if you can't date Nagayama Naoki, you Akimoto Yasushi will be useless, you know!

There are popular programs every year, and TBS has no shortage of producers, but Naoki Nagayama is a rare one!

"......Hi!"

Akimoto Yasushi was filled with bitterness. He wanted to compete with Nagayama Naoki in the future! However, the TBS director he wanted to look up to now actually had to go through an acquaintance to entertain Nagayama Naoki...

I didn’t expect that I wouldn’t be able to escape Naoki Nagayama’s shadow in TBS!

........

After a week, Naoki Nagayama did not stay at home anymore, but ran out~

After finishing the script for "Across the World" at home and drawing the character prototypes for "Slam Dunk", he decided to come and make friends.

After arriving at the Tree Friends building, when I heard everyone greeting me with smiles, nods and bows, a strong feeling of being seen, cared for and needed came to my heart.

"This is probably the combination of the fourth and fifth needs of Maslow's needs theory~"

Nagayama Naoki sighed, this is a spiritual feeling that combines respect and self-realization. I think Li Ka-shing, who is over 90 and still working in the company, and Jackie Chan, who is over 70 and still filming on the set, all need this feeling.

"Naoki-san, why are you here?"

Outside the elevator room, Naoki Nagayama met Otomo Yoshimura.
