In the familiar reception room, Kuniji Morikawa looked at the draft in his hand, feeling a little surprised and a little relieved.
Nagayama Naoki, who has always written the first draft, finally brought the draft of the novel to discuss with him, a senior editor, today, which surprised and delighted Morikawa Kuniji.
I finally came in handy for Naoki-san! Finally, I was no longer just a proofreading and printing machine!
"Yeah... Because I wanted to try something new, I tried to write it~"
Nagayama Naoki's attitude is sincere. Only a small part of this "Jurassic Park" is based on well-known movies and fragments. Most of it is written by himself. It can hardly be regarded as a best-selling novel in the future.
I was a little worried about whether I could reach the level of future novels, so I asked Editor Morikawa from Shogakukan to help me see...
After all, senior editors have reviewed thousands of novels, and their eyes are still objective~
"I would like to ask Bang Zhisang to help me take a look at the draft to see if there is anything wrong with the novel, and give me some comments so that I can make adjustments!"
""Jurassic Park"~"
On the thick manuscript paper, the bold and thickened book title is extremely conspicuous.
Kuniji Morikawa looked at the title of the novel and saw the combination of the disappeared Jurassic and the modern park. The strong contrast and conflict made him instantly attracted~
"It's a story about the prehistoric Jurassic era~ Is it a trip back to the past like "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time"... But going back to the prehistoric era is really novel..."
"Ah, no~" Nagayama Naoki quickly interrupted, "It's about the near future...it's about gene cloning..."
"Future scientists extracted a drop of ancient dinosaur blood from mosquito amber from tens of millions of years ago, and cloned prehistoric dinosaurs... Such a story..."
Listening to Naoki Nagayama's story, Kuniji Morikawa's ears were first filled with vague and powerful terms such as "gene", "cloning" and "bioengineering technology", and then he filled in the words "Tyrannosaurus rex", "Pterodactyl" and "Alien".
Dinosaur races like "Tron"...
I just feel that the draft in my hand seems to be a very remarkable thing. Once you open it, you will be sucked into a strange and bizarre world~
So, he turned to the first page...
And then the second page…
Page 3......
I don't know how long it took, but Kuniji Morikawa felt that his neck was really sore and he couldn't bear it anymore. Then he raised his head... only to see that there was only an empty table in front of him...
"What am I...?"
Morikawa Kunji came back to his senses and was a little frightened for a moment.
"Where is Naoki-san?! Naoki-san is missing! Where did Naoki-san go?"
Thinking of this, he immediately stood up and rushed outside the reception room, where he saw the girl with glasses on duty in the lobby:
"Reihi-chan, have you seen Naoki-san?!"
Nozawa Reiki was a little confused: "Naoki-san? Didn't Naoki-san leave in the morning?"
"morning?"
"Yeah..." Nozawa Reiki suddenly patted her head, "Ah, by the way..."
"Naoki-san told me when he left that Editor Morikawa-san was carefully reviewing the novel, so he left first and would just inform him after Morikawa-san had read it..."
Morikawa Kunji nodded in confusion:
"Ah... inform Naoki-san again... I understand~"
Then I looked up and looked out the glass window. The sky outside was already a little dim... It was actually already evening!
My mouth feels very thirsty, my stomach doesn't feel hungry, but my whole body feels weak...it means I'm overly hungry~
He didn’t even eat lunch!!!
"Did I watch it for four or five hours in a row?!"
"Morikawa-san?" Nozawa Reiki's call brought Morikawa Kuniji back to his senses again, "What is that in your hand? It looks heavy..."
"Ah? In your hand?"
Kuniji Morikawa raised his hand and saw a thick stack of manuscript paper!
The weight in his hand reminded Kuniji Morikawa of the astonishing length of this novel. A novel of more than 500,000 words is already a very long novel in this era!
He actually didn't let go when he just ran out, and subconsciously brought this novel with him...
After reading less than a third of the novel, Kuniji Morikawa's expression was very complicated.
"Naoki-san asked me to give my opinion..." Kuniji Morikawa smiled bitterly, "Who am I? I can't give you any advice!"
For this kind of science fiction masterpiece, he can only enjoy reading it and then keep clapping his hands and shouting 666!
"It seems that everyone still underestimates Naoki Nagayama's writing potential!"
""Jurassic Park"... seems to be causing a sensation in the novel world again..."
.......
Time goes back to the previous day~
Fuji TV's TV series has come to an end, and they are busy recording the semi-annual deluxe edition of "Night Hit";
TBS TV station's "Fighting People" has attracted many viewers and is currently being recorded;
In addition to the music station "Music Station", TV Asahi is planning to shoot longevity criminal investigation and medical dramas;
And TV Tokyo, as always, is focusing on animation and late-night dramas...
As the earliest commercial TV station, Nippon Television (ntv) has always been underperformed by TBS and Fuji TV in ratings. In recent years, even Asahi and TV Tokyo have dared to compete with it...
Koga Ryuta, the director of Nippon Television, has been troubled by this~
"Is Japanese television going to decline in my hands?"
Looking at the cute bear logo on the table, Koga Ryuta felt that it was also questioning him, and he felt a little sorry for such a sincere look, so he reached out and stuck the logo on the table...
"Director Koga~"
The office door was knocked open, and Kasahara Yukino, the chief producer of Nippon Television, walked in.
"Director, Shuyou Group wants to collaborate with us on a program!"
"Shuyou Group?" Koga Takata was stunned for a moment, "Nagayama Naoki?"
"Hi, it's Naoki Nagayama's company!" Kasahara Yukino said excitedly, "I just received a call from Director Yoshimura of the Shuyou Group. I want to talk to the senior management of the Nippon Television Production Bureau to jointly produce a variety show.
programme...."
After hearing this, Director Koga Ryota also became somewhat interested.
You know, Shuyou Group has cooperated with Fuji, TBS, Asahi and even Tokyo, but it has never dealt with Nippon Television. He thought when did Nippon Television offend Shuyou Group?
"What kind of show?"
"It's probably a music program~ We'll have to wait until Minister Fangcun comes over to discuss the details~"
Kasahara Yukino just received the forwarded call.
"Director Koga, do you want to set any policy for this cooperation?"
In Neon, TV stations are almost a monopoly industry. Generally speaking, there are some conditions for cooperating with TV stations to produce programs.
For example, advance funding for production, sample review, must be modified according to the requirements of the TV station, and money will be deducted if the ratings do not meet the standards~
"Well..."
Koga Ryota thought for a moment,
"I will also participate in this meeting!"
"Eh? The director directly participated?" Kasahara Yukino said in surprise, "Isn't it a little too grand?"
"After all, we are tree friends on the opposite side~" Ryuta Koga sighed, "If Japanese TV stations don't lower their status, they may not even be able to compete with TV Tokyo!"
Japanese TV stations also want TV series like "Love Century" and "Tokyo Love Story"! They also want to have audio programs like "Music Station"!
"Hi!" Kasahara Yukino nodded, "Then I'll notify the General Affairs Division..."
Since the station director wants to participate, he must naturally raise his level. At least the best reception room in the headquarters must be reserved, and a place where he can entertain guests in the future must be reserved...
.......
"Minister Fangcun!"
Kasahara Yukino and Yoshimura Otomo had met several times before, and stood at the door to welcome the arrival of Shuyou and his group.
"Director Kasahara.... Long time greetings...."
Fangcun Dayou stretched out his hand to shake hands warmly, with a warm smile on his face.
"How can I bother you to come and greet..."
"Where, where...it should be, it should be~"
Yoshimura Otomo and two assistants followed Kasahara Yukino and walked towards the headquarters of Nippon Television. As Neon's first commercial television station, Nippon Television has naturally had a glorious history. This headquarters has a very contemporary atmosphere...
..Old…..
"Mr. Yoshimura, our station director Koga Ryuta is already waiting for your arrival in the reception room~" Kasahara Yukiho said as he walked, "I mentioned that Shuyu's friends want to come and talk about cooperation. The station director attaches great importance to it.
~”
"Director Koga?" Yoshimura Otomo was a little surprised. He just wanted to have initial contact with Japanese television today, "How can you be so embarrassed?"
"Hahaha, just a casual chat~"
Arriving at the spacious reception room, Kasahara Yukino immediately acted as the introducer:
"Minister Yoshimura, this is the director of our Nippon Television Station, Ryuta Koga!"
"Director, this is the head of Shuyou Group... Yoshimura Otomo..."
"First time meeting... I am..." X2
When the two met for the first time, they naturally bowed to each other and exchanged business cards...a social ritual.
It took a while to get down to it:
"Minister Yoshimura, what projects is your company currently working on?" Koga Ryota invited tea and started chatting casually.
"Isn't this matter already well known..." Yoshimura Otomo said with a smile, "Aside from making a movie, Shuyou's biggest project this year is the preparation for the Tokyo International Film Festival..."
Nippon Television was also involved in the preparations for the Tokyo Film Festival, and we just casually chatted about the progress. Then Director Koga Ryuta said:
"Isn't it developing into the animation industry recently?"
"Ah, this..."
Yoshimura Otomo didn't reveal everything, let alone connect today's purpose with anime.
"This project is in charge of Shuichi Itou from the film department. A comic has been released recently...it seems to be quite lively~"
"Oh? Minister Yoshimura doesn't care about this business?" Kasahara Yukino was a little surprised.
"Hahaha, I'm mainly responsible for the artist business here..." Fangcun Otomo took the opportunity to put forward the purpose of coming today, "Isn't it just that I want to cooperate with NTV on a talent show? I want to select more people for Shuyou Group.
A potential artist..."
"Talent show? Aren't your company's Shizuka Kudo, Chiko Aoyama and Junko Ito all famous?" Kasahara Yukino said, "They are the envy of other firms~"
"Alas~" Fangcun Dayou pretended to sigh, "The idol industry is getting more and more sluggish... Judging from the past few years, the idol market has been saturated... What do we, Shuyou, think about the future?
We need to cultivate more professional singers..."
Koga Ryota heard it:
"What Minister Fangcun wants to cooperate with is a singer talent show?!"
"Yes!" Fangcun Dayou was originally here to talk about the program. He motioned to his assistant to bring out the project plan, "The program we want to create is temporarily called 'The Sound of Neon'..."
"The sound of neon..."
Hearing this name, Koga Ryuta and Kasahara Yukino were both fascinated. Nowadays, in order to be fresh and international, the names of neon variety shows are either mixed with English, use uncommon words, or are difficult to understand...
..
I haven’t heard such a normal program title for a long time~
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Open the project planning book, which contains the selling points and general process of this program. At the same time, Fangcun Otomo is also explaining:
"This program is specifically designed to select singers, or singers with potential...the main basis for judgment is only one...'tune'!"
"So we use a blind listening method, without looking at the singer's face, image, age or background...just listen to the singer's singing..."
"Only when the instructor is recognized can he turn around...Each instructor's evaluation criteria are different, but we follow one principle, as long as you think the voice is good..."
"Contestants recognized by multiple mentors, just like college students today, have the right to choose a mentor. It depends on the conditions given by the mentor and their own compatibility..."
"In the end, the members selected by the instructor form a team and compete with other instructors, and the audience selects the championship team!"
"The final champion will be signed by our tree friends association, and Nagayama Naoki will create the debut song... to help publish the album..."
In fact, the process of auditions, evaluations, and signing of champions in "The Sound of Neon" are similar to those of current idol auditions. The main surprise is that blind listening has only one criterion...the contestants' singing...
Then it was finally signed by Shuyu and Naoki Nagayama created the debut song...
"Did Naoki-san actually write the songs himself?" Kasahara Yukino exclaimed, "Other singers will be jealous to death when they hear this!"
Nagayama Naoki's songs are truly representative of quality and sales!
"Haha, I finally begged Naoki-san~"
Yoshimura Otomo explained with a smile,
"If this program can select a few potential singers for tree friends, it will be worth it!"
"By the way... If the mentor's company is interested, they can actually sign team members..."
In this case, the company behind the mentor will also actively participate~
NTV Director Koga Ryuta and Production Bureau Director Kasahara Yukino both looked at the project plan carefully, with Yoshimura Otomo standing beside them to make comments from time to time.
Putting aside other appearances, the most important thing for a professional singer is actually the voice...
Fair and open...not too much behind the scenes...
sincere....
Both people from NTV nodded in recognition. Even though Kasahara Yukino has so many years of experience in program production, he also believes that this program has great potential.
"Director Yoshimura..." After more than half an hour, Director Koga Takata closed the planning book, "This is a very interesting project..."
Kasahara Yukino was also beside him and continued:
"Who is the planner of this show?"
"Haha, this was a random thought when we were chatting, so I made a planning document..." Fangcun Otomo took the credit to Shuyou's executives, "Speaking of which, Naoki-san was the first to propose this idea.
Rely on singing as a criterion..."
"Hahaha, that's it~"
Kasahara Yukino responded with a smile,
"No wonder the idea is so novel~"
"So... Kasahara-san, Director Koga, what do you think of this project?"
"It's very interesting... But the specific form of cooperation needs to be discussed..." Director Koga Ryuta didn't play tricks, "About the terms of future cooperation..."
"But that's a trivial matter~ Just let the legal affairs handle it~"
"Haha, that's good~"
Yoshimura Otomo laughed, and the station director nodded. Then the cooperation was finalized, and then it became a matter of execution.
Koga Ryota smiled and said:
"Minister Fangcun, it's getting late. I know there is a good restaurant nearby. Let's have a meal together... and let NTV do its part as a landlord~"
Kasahara Yukino advised together:
"I also want to have a good chat with Minister Fangcun...I never had the chance before..."
"Hahaha, then it's better to be respectful than to obey~" Yoshimura Otomo also nodded with a smile and said to Kasahara Yukiho, "We will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future~"
"Yes, yes...Shuyou and NTV must cooperate more~"
Both parties are very happy. Yoshimura Otomo decided to cooperate with NTV because it was the first time. He didn't expect it to go so smoothly... He had never cooperated before.
NTV, on the other hand, was pleasantly surprised and pleased to finally cooperate with Shuyou...
I originally thought that NTV was squeezed out by Tree Friends and several other TV stations, but they have never cooperated with each other before... and this project looks very interesting...
"The Sound of Neon"...will it make waves in the entertainment industry~
