"Nani! We met again!" Nobuo Tomioka couldn't help himself when he was listening to the shooting report in the hotel, "I just said I had a bad feeling!"

Then he looked at Shimada Yuzo with a murderous expression: "Yuzo-kun, why didn't you stop me?"

"Because that man came out directly from the bottom of the sea..." Yuzo Shimada felt helpless when he thought of Nagayama Naoki's outrageous appearance.

"Nobuo-san, I think this guy Naoki Nagayama has been following us secretly. We have encountered him twice in a row in the United States. The probability is very low."

Nobuo Tomioka thought about it and found that he had not seen any suspicious people near the hotel and recording studio...

"In short, Yuzo-kun, I'm very disappointed in you!" Tomioka Nobuo, who was confused for a long time, chose to vent his anger on Shimada Yuzo opposite, "After finding out, why couldn't we separate the two of them immediately?

What? Are you going to eat yet?"

The wine on the beach was also very strong. After a few drinks, Shimada Yuzo started to get drunk again. If the two shooting friends hadn't stopped him a little, he might have passed out drunk again.

"It happened...it's lunch time again, so there's no good excuse..."

Thinking of this, there really was no particularly good solution. Tomioka Nobuo could only complain: "Oh no! How can that guy Naoki be so shameless! He always comes to help me!"

Shimada Yuzo seemed to suddenly discover something at this time: "Arnold... It seems that the two meals were paid for by that guy..."

After hearing such a thing, Tomioka Nobuo was furious:

"Nani! Yuzo, you guy! Don't we have any funds? You even let others invite you to have dinner with the artists?! Are you letting others know that Warner doesn't want to lose face?!"

"You make me want to scold Naoki Nagayama behind his back, but I can't find any reason!"

Shimada Yuzo was also a little embarrassed. He hadn't thought of it before. He didn't know why, but he was drunk. Anyway, it was natural that Naoki Nagayama paid the bill in the end.

In other words, if you go out to eat with that guy, you will have the super power to automatically ask him to pay the bill?

Now I feel embarrassed to say bad things behind my back!

We had dinner together in the evening, and Naoki Nagayama learned about the recording progress of Xiao Mingna. Almost 6 songs have been completed, and they should all be completed in another 3 or 4 days.

We had made an appointment when we were separated to go to Disneyland together after the recording was completed, so Naoki Nagayama didn't go by himself these days.

Instead, I took advantage of this opportunity to take the advanced diver's certificate exam.

Robert, who taught diving, was a little sad after finishing the course.

"William, the course is over, you're probably going back, right?"

Nagayama Naoki responded: "There are still a few days left, but I probably won’t come to the beach~"

"What a pity. I also wanted to explore the diving spots around Los Angeles with you."

"Hahaha, Robert, there will be opportunities in the future~ I will never forget to have a friend like you in Los Angeles~"

"It's a pity that no one will be my wingman when I go to the bar in the future!"

"Hahaha~ Let's go again today~"

Parting is a common thing, and people at the beach are used to this kind of life. Robert did not feel sad for too long.

Life is short, why not enjoy yourself while you can?

...

tokyo, studio,

Yoshimura Otomo and Itou Shuichi are having a meeting,

"Xiu Yisang, why is the scandal so serious this time?"

Yoshimura Otomo said that because the previous scandals about Akiyama Misa and Uekusa Katsuhide were published in different newspapers and magazines, he once again reviewed the history of the Wildcats, and there were reports that tried to connect the actress and the actor.

This is a very unusual phenomenon.

"It feels like someone is targeting me secretly."

Itou Shuichi is still aware of some tricks in the entertainment industry, "If we hadn't chosen actors who were basically newcomers, maybe others would have been able to find more dirty stuff."

"but why?"

It's not that Yoshimura Otomo didn't expect others to take action, the movie market is so big. The previous movie "Ghost Story" came out and seized the horror film market at lightning speed, sweeping the box office of nearly 3 billion.

And this time "Gas Station Robbery" has begun to sweep the comedy movies of the same period, and it will also exceed the total box office of 2 billion.

What is even more surprising to the film industry is that the two films were only three months apart. Seeing that such a new force in the film industry is about to emerge, will those who originally occupied the market be willing?

Yoshimura Otomo then thought: "As for the artists, Johnny's Agency is in front of them, and the film distribution is also supported by Kadokawa Pictures. This kind of tidbits can't cause any harm at all?"

Itou Shuichi was also confused, but he always knew more about the entertainment industry: "Otomo-san, this is probably just a test. We will decide the next step based on our reaction and the strength of our defense."

"But what can they do next?" Yoshimura Otomo was puzzled.

Yes, the agency has a total of 4 artists and 1 manager, three of whom are members of outdated girl groups, and one is an emerging idol who has just released his first single.

Digging them over? It’s really not worth the gain~

As for Shuyu Pictures, Kadokawa's investment in shares already has a big sign, which is something that ordinary film companies can't handle, right?

As for industry suppression? They are a small group with only three core members, and they don’t have much contact with the entertainment industry. The only way to suppress them is to discredit the core personnel, not to invest in filming, or to film better films of the same type.

The film has surpassed the brand of Shuyou Pictures and so on.

Itou Shuichi and Yoshimura Otomo themselves are behind the scenes, and the smear effect is not great. However, Nagayama Naoki, the only public figure... himself does not give many interviews, and he is super low-key, staying at Yamazakuin all day long.

Here, there is very little social interaction. It is difficult to find a more "clean" star in the film industry.

In addition, Shuyou Pictures currently produces low-budget films, so there is basically no financial pressure. If we suppress the brand, it is not considered a brand at the moment...

Itou Shuichi didn't understand either, but he still said: "Otomo-san, let's keep the scandal under control for now. There are no explosive points in the first place. If it continues to ferment, maybe it will bring trouble to Akiyama Feisa and Uekusa Katsuhide."

More exposure.”

"Then I will ask through channels from my fellow disciples. Otomo-san should also go to Kadokawa and ask."

Fangcun Dayou didn't have any more opinions: "Hey, let's ask around first."

Then he sighed to Itou Shuichi: "It would be great if that guy Naoki was here. Did this guy find a confidante abroad? He never came back~"

"Hahaha, Otomo-san, even if Naoki comes back, he might not have any clue~"

"But when he is here, I feel less worried~"

Yi Tangxiu paused and said, "That's right."

...

The sun rises and sets, and in the blink of an eye it’s mid-to-late March.

Akina Nakamori's last song at Warner Bros. has been announced to have been recorded.

Nobuo Tomioka stretched and said, "Akina-chan, all that's left is the later adjustments."

"Hey, I've worked hard these days, Nobuo-san."

During the recording process, Akina put forward a lot of opinions, and Tomioka Nobuo also listened to some opinions generously, which is rare for idols who have not debuted.

The staff of the recording studio are basically all adults. At this time, there was only one underage artist, Akina Nakamori, so opinions raised were sometimes ignored by adults, or considered "difficult".

But Nobuo Tomioka patiently listened to Akina's opinion, which Akina was very grateful for.

"Akina-chan, the recording work in Los Angeles is officially over. I have a plane ticket for tomorrow night, and I still have a whole day to spare. I can go shopping in Los Angeles tomorrow~"

Thanks to the early recording, the entire schedule was not too tight, and having a free day was considered a benefit of going abroad.

"Hi, Arigado!" Akina Nakamori's expression suddenly became very happy.

"Akina-chan, where do you want to go and play?"

Tomioka Nobuo then asked, since it is not work, Shimada Yuzo and the shooting duo do not need to follow. They still have some album production work to complete tomorrow.

But Akina Nakamori obviously can't do it alone. She must be accompanied by a staff member. After all, she is underage and her language is not very fluent.

“I’ve always wanted to go to Disneyland before, and now if I have the chance, I’d really like to go there~”

"Disney? It is indeed an interesting place." As expected, he is still a child. Nobuo Tomioka nodded, "In this case, I will ask Warner to find an acquaintance to accompany you tomorrow."

"Ah, aren't Yusan-san and the others going?"

"They still have some finishing touches to complete."

Nakamori Akina was a little confused: "Wouldn't this cause trouble for others... Nobuo-san, I don't need to ask others to accompany me."

Seeing his idol's sensible appearance, he seemed to be about to give up on the trip. Tomioka Nobuo was just about to comfort him and say it was okay, but he heard other words coming from Akina's mouth:

"Nobuo-san, Daigabu, Naoki-san and I have made an appointment to go to the amusement park together. He will accompany us and no one else will be needed."

Nobuo Tomioka felt that he heard the name he didn't want to hear again: "Naoki-san? Hasn't he gone back yet?"

"Hi, Naoki-san has been learning diving in Los Angeles during this period, and has already obtained the qualification of an advanced diver." Akina happily introduced Naoki Nagayama's current situation.

"Nobuo-san, I'll go with Naoki-san, so I don't have to find anyone else, right?"

Doesn’t this guy have to work? He’s been abroad for almost a month, right?

Hearing that such a threat appeared near his idol, Nobuo Tomioka thought of some excuse to tell Akina-chan not to go.

But looking at the expectation and look in Xiao Mingcai's eyes, she couldn't say any words of rejection.
