The paparazzi who were guarding Lan Kwai Fong at night finally arrived at Dagua.
"Look, look...it's Jackie Chan!" A paparazzi excitedly raised his camera and took a few photos, "I came to the nightclub with someone...the one next to me is Chen
Self-improvement, and Maggie Cheung!"
The other paparazzi nearby also immediately dropped their cigarette butts and prepared to follow... Everyone knows that Jackie Chan is very passionate about romantic affairs, and his recent relationship with Maggie Cheung and Rosamund Kwan is also very complicated...
"Wait a minute, there is another stranger..."
Only after the paparazzi took a photo did he realize the difference.
"I haven't seen it before..."
"Big brother's new little brother?"
"Looks like we're on equal footing..."
“Anyway, take pictures first!”
Then everyone saw Jackie Chan leading a group of people into the nearby coffee bar "1997".
It is said that after becoming friends with Jackie Chan, you don't have to pay the bills yourself when you go out or something. Naoki Nagayama also experienced this kind of treatment.
On this night, I went to several bars, dance halls, karaoke, etc., one after another, and the drinks were over and over... At the end of the day, Naoki Nagayama found that he was recovering from his injury.
Jackie Chan is actually more energetic than himself...
This is probably the kind of talent in traditional martial arts that is good at practicing martial arts!
...
The next day, Naoki Nagayama was awakened by the dazzling sunlight.
What I saw when I opened my eyes was my sea view room at the Peninsula Hotel. At this time, Victoria Harbor was sparkling, several yachts were slowly passing by on the blue bay, and white seagulls were soaring low in the sky. It was a rare good weather!
"Who sent me back?"
Naoki Nagayama shook his head to let the hangover go away quickly. He vaguely remembered that someone sent him back to the Peninsula Hotel...but he had forgotten who it was.
But it is too dangerous to get drunk like this in a strange place...
If you are not careful, you may find that you are missing two kidneys when you wake up the next day!
After washing up, Nagayama Naoki walked to the restaurant and started eating breakfast, and happened to meet Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyon who also came to have breakfast.
"Masataka-kun, Kijima-kun, morning~"
"..."
The two of them looked at Nagayama Naoki with a look that looked at a scumbag, which made someone who was not thick-skinned enough feel a little unbearable:
"What's wrong, looking at me like this?"
"Naoki-san... you went out to visit Hong Kong alone yesterday!" Komori Masataka said in a sour tone, "We only found out when we wanted to ask you to eat at night..."
Kijima Xu silently bit into pieces of bread, his eyes full of resentment:
"It's not impossible for Naoki-san to go out for fun. Why don't you leave us a message... We almost thought Naoki-san had an accident!"
"Ah...hahaha~"
Nagayama Naoki yelled, trying to cope with it,
"I just wanted to buy some souvenirs nearby, but I didn't expect that I got lost...I came back very late~"
"Naoki-san..." Masataka Komori sounded angry now, "We saw you being sent back in a car by a friend!"
"..." Nagayama Naoki looked at the resentful expressions of the two people...
Sigh~~~ It feels like I have two big children! These two guys are obviously subordinates!
Seeing that he couldn't be deceived, Nagayama Naoki could only admit defeat:
"Okay, okay, it's my fault, I shouldn't have gone out alone to have fun! I'll take you with me tonight!"
"..."
Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyor looked at each other, and their moods suddenly improved a lot... They were very coaxable!
While the three of them were enjoying breakfast, Wu Qiwen, the translator, also rushed to the hotel. With a newspaper under his arm, he went directly to the restaurant to find a few people...
"Mina-san, how was your rest yesterday?"
"Very good, very good... the hotel room is very nice~" Masataka Komori responded politely, "Wu Sang came here so early?"
"Yeah, didn't I agree to take you to TVB today? After you have had breakfast, let's start today's trip!"
"It should be so!" Komori Masataka nodded repeatedly.
Nagayama Naoki was eating breakfast. He spent a lot of energy singing and dancing last night, and he was already hungry when he woke up in the morning.
Wu Qiwen had already had breakfast, so he sat at a table with several people, ordered a cup of coffee and started drinking it, while chatting and flipping through the newspaper.
"Now there are all kinds of things happening in Hong Kong every day, which is eye-opening..."
"Nagayama-san, Komori-san, Kijima-san... Now that the business is done, I'll take you to a famous shopping mall in Hong Kong..."
"But don't talk to the unscrupulous people on the street. There are many people from gang organizations now..."
"..."
People who work as business translators are generally very good at speaking. Even though several other people were having breakfast, Wu Qiwen kept talking and flipping through the newspaper.
Then I happened to turn to the entertainment section:
"Eh? "Late night transition, Jackie Chan and Maggie Cheung's tryst ends! Suspected new love?"
In the Hong Kong media, "correction" means real action...
When Wu Qiwen saw one of the photos, he immediately raised his head and looked at Naoki Nagayama next to him, and said in great surprise:
"Naoki-san, is this you?"
"Huh?" Nagayama Naoki glanced at it. Sure enough, it was a photo of himself and Jackie Chan walking on the street. "Sure enough, walking with Jackie Chan will be photographed..."
"It's really Nao Shu-san!" Wu Qiwen was a little excited, "Does Nao Shu-san still know Jackie Chan?"
"Well, we met in Neon..."
On the other side, Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyor also raised their heads to look at the newspaper, and saw the very recognizable face of Nagayama Naoki... Naoki-san is also the cover character of newspapers abroad!

Broadcasting Road in Kowloon Tong, where TVB’s headquarters is located.
Under the leadership of Wu Qiwen, Naoki Nagayama and his team came to one of the most famous TV stations in Hong Kong to select the actors they needed.
When we arrived, we were greeted at the door by someone...
"Is this director Nagayama Naoki?" the girl at the front desk asked respectfully.
"Yes, this is Naoki Nagayama who came from Neon!" Wu Qiwen answered helpfully from the side, "Next to him are Director Masataka Komori and Director Kyoshi Kijima..."
"Welcome to TVB for inspection..." The girl at the front desk immediately led the way, "Manager Fang is already waiting for you!"
"Then go quickly..."
While in the conference room, Naoki Nagayama met Manager Fang...
Manager Fang is a middle-aged woman whose name is Fang Yihua. She is actually the second wife of Shaw Brothers' Run Run Shaw. After Shaw Brothers acquired the shares of TVB, Mrs. Fang also began to work in TVB, laying the foundation for future mergers.
.
"Director Nagayama, this is our first meeting..." After seeing Naoki Nagayama, Youta stood up with a smile and extended his hand, "But the name is like thunder..."
As he spoke, he was waiting for the translator to pass the message, but he saw Nagayama Naoki shaking hands directly:
"Hello, Manager Fang! It's just a false name..."
Surprise flashed in Fouta's eyes: "Director Nagayama's Mandarin is also very good!"
"I studied occasionally..." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "I'm going to choose actors this time, please excuse me!"
"Here and there, the director of Fuji TV's palace personally spoke, and my wife was flattered..."
Fouta looked at this famous director, but he didn't expect that he was so young and was already a shareholder of Fuji TV!
Originally it was just a small audition, but Run Run Shaw specially handed over the reception to his lover as a sign of importance, asking her to have a good relationship with Naoki Nagayama...
"Director Yongshan, do you have anyone you like?"
"I've read some of the information, but it's better to meet the real person."
"Haha, let's start the audition as soon as possible! I'll let Director Liu take you there!" Fangtai nodded, "Wait until the business is over, then I'll take care of you..."
"That would be troublesome!"
Although Fangta was a woman, she acted vigorously and resolutely, so she immediately called someone.
Liu Fanggang, the head teacher of the TVB artist training class, rushed to the office meeting room to pick up people, and then took everyone to a special meeting room.
"Director Yongshan... It is our students' honor to have you come to TVB to select actors this time..."
Since Naoki Nagayama needed young actors, and Liu Fang happened to be the head teacher of the training class, he came to receive them.
“If we can select the right talents, it’s a win-win situation!”
Nagayama Naoki said with a smile,
"I have heard about the TVB Infinite Artist Training Class in Neon... The TV station is also thinking about whether to hold one! Maybe we will learn from Liu Sheng..."
It's just that in Neon, all the work of training artists has been taken over by different agencies. It's not easy to touch this piece of cake.
"Really? Then I must tell you everything!"
...
After walking for a while, Naoki Nagayama saw many people waiting in the hallway outside a classroom-like room.
If you look closely, you will see many familiar figures...
When Liu Fang just walked by, many people greeted him, and some stared at Nagayama Naoki and others and whispered. They all knew that a big director from Neon was casting a role today.
This is a God-given opportunity. Everyone knows that as long as you are selected, you will definitely become famous!
If it weren't for the need for young actors, this kind of opportunity would never have fallen to these actors who were still playing small roles~
The tables in the classroom have been adjusted, and a row of judges' seats are placed directly in front, exposing the open space in the middle as a place for impromptu performances.
Nagayama Naoki, Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyor all sat down, and saw Liu Fang just pouring water diligently:
"Please have some tea first~ I'll ask my classmates to prepare... Then they will come in according to this pile of information..."
"Trouble~"
Nagayama Naoki nodded, and after seeing him go out, he turned to the two people who came together and said,
"Although you don't speak Cantonese for this audition, your opinions are also very important. You are also familiar with the script of "Tiger of Ginza". If there are other characters in it that are suitable..."
"If you want to ask any questions, let Wu Qiwen translate it and tell them..."
"Hi!" X3, even Wu Qiwen kept nodding beside him.
Then he lowered his head and looked at the personnel information in his hand. It can be said that this time TVB has brought over all the suitable actors...
However, it seems that the members who have graduated from the first few phases of the Infinite Artist Training Class are beginning to audition, and the later on, the more recent graduates and even students who are still studying... Even at this time, the seniors in the entertainment industry always have to occupy
A bit cheap!
After a while, Liu Fang just walked in:
"Director Yongshan, can we start?"
"Well, that's okay!" Nagayama Naoki nodded, "Let someone come in..."
"good!"
The first young man who came in had an upright face and looked very handsome, as if he could pull out ten or eight dragons from his hands at any time...
"Hello, Director Yongshan, I am a student of the ninth batch of the Infinite Artist Training Class. My name is Huang Rihua..."
The most famous Gang Leader Qiao, a hero with his own BGM... When we saw him appear on the screen before, everyone knew that he was the person with the highest martial arts skills in martial arts dramas!
"Haha, hello, hello~" Naoki Nagayama showed a warm smile on his face, "Do you already know something about the role you are about to play?"
"Yes...the character is an upstart in the financial world, young and suddenly rich, arrogant and domineering..."
"Okay~ That's about right~"
Nagayama Naoki nodded and continued to ask Gang Leader Qiao some about his previous acting experience and his views on shaping the character. After both parties relaxed a little, he said:
"Then one of the plots is about the protagonist who has just made millions of dollars from the New York Stock Exchange... Please do an impromptu performance based on the mood of the character at that time..."
It feels like I am assigning reading comprehension questions...
Gang Leader Qiao in front of him looked around:
"Can I use some props?"
Nagayama Naoki looked around unexpectedly:
"Please feel free to have whatever you have here..."
This was originally a performance classroom, and many props were placed in lockers. Gang Leader Qiao directly found a pair of sunglasses and a stock exchange trader's vest...
After thinking about it for a while, I turned to the podium and turned back from the podium, as if I had just walked out of the stock exchange...
He tore off his waistcoat with force, threw it to the ground, then raised his head and roared loudly as if to vent, accompanied by venting movements of beating his chest and legs...
Nagayama Naoki saw it, but what he thought in his heart was - "It looks like a gorilla..."
It wasn't until a few minutes later that I calmed down my breathing, showed a relaxed smile, took out my sunglasses from my pocket, and began to walk confidently outside...
"Bah bang bang!"
Naoki Nagayama applauded him very much after the performance, but he already drew an x in his heart.
You must know that he made money at the New York Stock Exchange. After walking out of the exchange with Nakai Wonta, his legs went weak and he sat on the ground... Suddenly he made more money than he imagined. How could he be so emotional...
....I should be more confused and worried.
Just like the two people in "The Richest Man in Xihong City", it is normal to be unable to stand up~
"Director, do you have any guidance for my performance?"
"Mr. Huang's performance was very vivid and fully demonstrated his excitement!" Naoki Nagayama said, "Jia's movements are very impressive..."
"Thank you, director. Thank you, director!"
Gang Leader Qiao had a smile on his face~
Naoki Nagayama continued:
"I already have a good idea of Mr. Huang's performance, but the final determination of the role still needs to be discussed with colleagues. I will contact you if there is any progress in the future..."
"Please help call the next person in!"
"OK!"
Gang Leader Qiao walked out of the door with excitement on his face and went to call the next person in!
Inside, Naoki Nagayama shook his head and sighed. Sure enough, the replies from HR in the future were really well-honed words!
Tactfully leave space for both parties without causing conflict or confusion on the spot...
Later, if you don’t get any news, it means you were not selected!
"Let me see, the next person is...oh? Is it this person?!"
