Kabukiza's Mathy and Julie, and Akina have effectively broken up."
The authenticity and topicality of the news previewed in the weekly can be judged by the size and eye-catchingness of the font.
Although this news is not the headline of the current period, looking at its weight, it is basically certain that no matter how much imagination is involved in the specific content, it must at least be the kind of gossip that has "pictures and truth".
Kondo Masahiko and Fujishima Keiko went to Kabukiza together... This amount of information is really huge.
Kondo Masahiko, who was knocked out of the bottom after the Daisho incident, has been out of the important pages of weekly magazines for more than half a year.
For an idol, the sales of his albums are poor, major music shows are missing, he is not found in various charts, and even weekly magazines do not take him seriously. It can be said that his idol career is over.
(4000 word chapter)
As a result, no one could have imagined that he would return to this top-selling gossip weekly as an important part of the "Friday" trailer, and he would also be photographed with Kitagawa Mari's daughter.
Being photographed together can already surprise the public, what’s more, the location where they were photographed was the Kabukiza Theater.
Is there anything special about this place? In the past, it was the custom of Tokyoites that when matchmakers introduced unmarried men and women to meet on a blind date, they would arrange the venue at Kabukiza.
At that time, the matchmaker and the families of both parties will come together to watch the show, eat and get to know each other.
Because there has been such a custom, now, Kondo Masahiko and Fujishima Keiko go to Kabukiza together. Those older Japanese people probably immediately thought of "blind date" when they saw this place.
Ordinary friends of the opposite sex would never choose the Kabukiza Theater to meet for a meal. Not only that, but to be able to meet at such an old-school Kabukiza Theater, the person who can do such a thing must be quite young.
It was probably written by Kitagawa Marie.
When Iwahashi Shinichi saw such news, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how much does Kitagawa Marie like Kondo Masahiko?
Although everyone in the industry knows that Kitagawa Marie prefers Kondo Masahiko, she gives him priority in all kinds of resources, supports him in whatever he wants to do, and even takes care of his life, making her boss look like an old mother.
When Kondo Masahiko and Nakamori Akina were in love, not only Kondo Masahiko's biological mother didn't like Nakamori Akina, but this godmother also didn't like Nakamori Akina.
With two evil mothers-in-law dominating his head, no wonder this silly son can be so arrogant.
However, after the Daesang incident, Kondo Masahiko was knocked to the bottom, and Johnny's reputation suffered a setback and was ridiculed by the industry. If it were another company, if something like that happened, Kondo Masahiko would be treated coldly.
Not only that, the character problems he has shown over the years are enough to make people look down upon him.
But now, does Kitagawa Marie still plan to make Kondo Masahiko her son-in-law?
This is probably true love...
It's a sigh of relief, Kondo Masahiko and Fujishima Keiko are both strangers to Iwahashi Shinichi. Now when looking at such a notice, their psychological activities are no different from those of ordinary melon-eaters.
Although Kondo Masahiko has reached the point where he is today, he also owes a contribution to his trivial efforts.
However, the real reason why he intervened in the Grand Prize in the first place was simply that he did not want to see Akina Nakamori sacrificed in the game between factions.
Iwahashi Shinichi's eyes moved to the second half of the title notice, "I have finally broken up with Akina."
It was not convenient to ask about personal matters. Iwahashi Shinichi never mentioned Kondo Masahiko in front of Nakamori Akina, and he almost never heard anything about Kondo Masahiko from her mouth, so it was unclear what the situation was like between the two of them.
That is, when I was chatting with Okada Yukiko, I occasionally heard her mention that Nakamori Akina and Kondo Masahiko seemed to have broken up.
However, with Nakamori Akina's personality, even a friend like Okada Yukiko would not be able to keep asking her questions when she is unwilling to say more.
Girls like Akina Nakamori usually talk a lot, but when it comes to emotional issues, they are very tight-lipped. They don't want to mention it to others when they are together, and they won't talk about it after they break up.
Iwahashi Shinichi looked at this title notice, and somehow a sentence written by Akina Nakamori in the letter flashed through his mind, "I also refused something that my past self would never have thought of refusing."
What exactly did she refuse?
When he saw this sentence in the letter, he had no idea of further inquiring, but just vaguely felt the connotation in it.
However, now that he suddenly thought of this sentence again, Iwahashi Shinichi became curious.
At that time, what exactly did Akina Nakamori reject?
He raised his wrist and looked at his watch.
Today is Thursday. When I had dinner with Yukiko Okada and Akina Nakamori, I heard Akina Nakamori mention that she was going to Karuizawa for a location shoot on Thursday.
…
In the morning, Shinichi Iwahashi finished handling the record company matters and went out to Watanabe Wan Yumi's office.
The two companies were so close that it wouldn't take long even if they walked. He thought so, so he decided to take a walk and walked to U-Miz.
After meeting, Iwahashi Shin put the "Kitchen" given to him by Watanabe Manyumi on the table.
"Thank you for your book." Shinichi Iwahashi said.
"I'm still a little curious." Shinichi Iwahashi asked, "Izumi Inamura has a very similar temperament to the protagonist of "Kitchen". I have a clearer understanding of this after reading the book."
"So, what I am more concerned about now is, what is your reason for making such a movie?"
Simply because Inamura Izumi's temperament fits the protagonist, he would rather risk losing money and make a movie. This kind of thing that a silly son of a landlord would do for fun, Shinichi Iwahashi didn't believe that Watanabe Mayumi could do it.
"Isn't Shinichi-kun preparing for zard's early debut?" Watanabe Manyumi didn't answer, but suddenly said this.
"You might as well think that by doing this, I am releasing a debut album for Izumi Inamura," she said.
Shinichi Iwahashi was thoughtful.
"You have produced several groups of singers, and you also know that the initial cost of promoting singers is very high, which is different from promoting actors." Watanabe Manyumi said.
This is true. If a singer wants to make a debut, he must have a physically released record, contact a performance venue, have distribution and promotion channels, and prepare stage costumes... all of these things add up, and the amount is not small.
A complete set of plans for a super-large newcomer's debut can cost tens of millions of yen.
If it becomes popular, you can immediately recoup the money you spent and make a lot of money, but if the promotion fails, it is no different from making a movie and losing all your money.
In contrast, actors who do not need such "physical works" and can gradually become famous through hard work will have much lower marketing costs.
But now, according to Watanabe Manyumi's intention, she wants to use the same method of promoting singers to promote Inamura Izumi.
"The adaptation of Yoshimoto Banana is really difficult, and we can't have high expectations for the box office." Watanabe Mayumi knows this.
"So, from the beginning, I had no intention of making a commercial film."
Commercial movies are something that no one working alone can afford.
Movies are inherently a costly art. Not only are the production costs high when filming a commercial movie, but the publicity fees spent during the promotion period can even make the same movie again.
In the entire Japanese film market, hundreds of films are released every year, and not many of them are high-cost.
Low barriers to entry have led to the proliferation of low-cost movies. The number of moviegoers has been decreasing year after year. Large-scale investments cannot recoup costs and cannot be exported overseas. This environment makes the Japanese film market lack the soil for large-scale productions to survive.
For most Japanese movies, it is a small investment, even if it can only be released on a small scale, as long as the cost is recovered, it has passed the safety line. If it can be a small hit, it is a success.
The dead-end market atmosphere of Japanese movies has made the industry more and more weird. They are immersed in one-third of an acre of their own country and become a craftsman polishing screws by hand.
"Personality is very important." Watanabe Manyumi said to Iwahashi Shinichi, "It is rare to encounter such a suitable character. I want to show the charm of Inamura Izumi through making this movie."
"Make it with a small budget, and then send it to various film festivals. If you can win an award, it will be a good start. The worst-case scenario is that this movie can be used as a business card to recommend her in the future."
"Yeah, I understand." Iwahashi Shin nodded and smiled, "You are really good at selling."
Watanabe Wan Yumi also smiled, "It sounds a bit unrealistic, doesn't it?"
"It's okay, it's just a little unreliable."
"However, an actor with an unreliable temperament, a film with a sense of unreliability between the lines, and a president who is unreliable in his actions... It is quite remarkable that he can gather so many 'unreliable' people." Iwahashi Shinban
joke.
"I don't know if it can be regarded as a compliment." Watanabe Wan Yumi said this, but she couldn't help but laugh.
"One 'unreliable' is a worry, so many 'unreliable' is definitely a compliment." After Shinichi Iwahashi joked, he got down to business and asked her, "If you really want to adapt it, just talk about the movie adaptation rights, right?"
"
After thinking for a while, "This is such a hot topic right now, is it easy to talk about the adaptation rights?"
"Fortunately." Watanabe Manyumi said, "You also said that this is not suitable for a movie adaptation, so although it is very topical, as far as I know, apart from me, no one is interested in the adaptation rights."
"I tried to contact them here, and the asking price for the copyright is not high." It seems that they have already taken action.
"What about the candidates for director and screenwriter? Are there any suitable ones?" Shinichi Iwahashi asked.
Watanabe Manyumi answered him, "This is still under consideration... Whether to hire a new person or a backbone with solid skills needs to be considered before making a decision."
From the time she was able to use Iwahashi Shinichi's method out of the ordinary, we know that she is a person who values ability more than qualifications.
"I do know a new director." At this time, Iwahashi Shinichi remembered it and said casually.
"Yeah?"
"When I was working as a producer for Mori Takasou, the director Warner Pioneer hired to shoot her music video was named Shunji Iwai."
"Iwai Shunji?" Watanabe Mayumi has never heard of him. However, since he was filming a music video for Chisato Moritaka, who was not popular at the time, we can probably guess what his qualifications are.
Shinichi Iwahashi told her, "This Iwai-san is filming short films and commercials for Fuji TV."
"I see."
Watanabe Wan Yumi said nothing more.
…
Karuizawa.
The on-site shooting started at 8 o'clock in the morning. Akina Nakamori, the host, and the guests of the same issue, surrounded by the photography team, walked on the streets of Ginza.
Thursday was a weekday, and it was not a holiday time. There were few people on the streets of Ginza. However, popular celebrities came to record the show, and wherever the camera team went, it still attracted many idle people to watch.
Surrounded by camera equipment and watched by passers-by, these celebrities could still maintain their own pace and continue the show as if nothing had happened.
Akina Nakamori communicated lively with the host in front of the camera. On the other side, her agent Omoto was in a nearby phone booth, making a call to Tokyo.
"Friday" previewed that Kondo Masahiko and Fujishima Keiko would appear together in Kabukiza, and the media in Tokyo did not let Nakamori Akina off the hook. The magazine put her name on the trailer, and the media also called the office.
While Omoto answered the phone, he was thankful in his heart that Akina Nakamori was in Karuizawa. Otherwise, maybe when she arrived at the TV station today, there would be reporters lurking in the parking lot asking her how she felt.
A two-person play is not as exciting as a three-person play and is full of topics.
What do you think...Omoto imagined that Akina Nakamori was asked this kind of question, and frowned in disgust.
However, compared to this, Omoto is more concerned about another thing, "Is the incident between Kondo-kun and Keiko-san true?"
On the other end of the phone, the person from the office spoke ambiguously, "Well, I can't say for sure."
"Can't you tell?" Daben asked.
"Anyway, the magazine photographed Kondo and Johnny's Keiko-san coming out of the Kabukiza Theater together." The staff member's words were interesting.
When Omoto heard what he said, he felt a little confident, "Didn't you say that Mr. Higashiyama from the office that Miss Keiko loves has also dated Mr. Tahara. However, he has never been very fond of Mr. Kondo?"
"I don't know, maybe it's because of Marisan." The staff member answered and reminded him not to forget to tell Akina Nakamori about this and ask her what she thought.
Even the office wants to know what she thinks...Omoto follows Akina Nakamori all day long. At this time, I feel a little sympathy for her.
After hanging up the phone, Ben walked out of the phone booth and returned to the main line.
At twelve o'clock at noon, the filming ended. The program team had a lot of money and booked an entire restaurant to entertain the guests and staff who participated in the program.
After lunch, there is a two-hour break.
After finishing her meal, Nakamori Akina left the team and walked out of the restaurant. Omoto went over to chase her, "Akina-chan, where are you going?"
"Just take a stroll." Akina Nakamori answered him.
Omoto looked at Akina Nakamori and thought about what to say next.
