150, I dont want Kondo Masahiko! I want the youth team!
...
We continued to chat with Itou Shuichi and Yoshimura Otomo about the casting of movie roles.
Itou Shuichi said: "Naoki-san, the actors in the movie script are all young, but among Japanese actors, young actors are not very easy to find~"
Yoshimura Otomo responded: "It's true... Most popular celebrities are over 30 years old~"
Naoki Nagayama curled his lips at the side: "The celebrities you are paying attention to are only in their 30s... There are many actors in their 20s in the entertainment industry, but they are not famous~"
Indeed, it’s hard to survive in Showa’s entertainment industry, right?
How much acting skills and fame can actors in their 20s have? Unless they are child actors who have been in the entertainment industry since they started, how can any works be willing to give young people a chance?
He is not a popular celebrity in the later generations. He can earn hundreds of millions of dollars just for showing his face. Even if he puts his face on, it can still be regarded as a starring role.
Itou Shuichi did not refute: "There is really nothing we can do~ Why not look for it in idol dramas~"
Yoshimura Otomo interjected at this time: "As for idol dramas, isn't "Mr. 3-Year Group B Kinpachi" very popular? I heard that the male idols in it are also very popular."
Itou Shuichi thought for a moment: "Is it the recently very famous 'Tahara Trio'?"
Then he gossiped with Nagayama Naoki:
"Naoki-san, do you still remember the guy who took over your commercial last year? His name is Kondo Masahiko. He is now a member of the Tahara Trio and is very popular!"
"That guy?" Nagayama Naoki really doesn't care much about male stars, "You can be famous for your acting skills like that. Does that mean your singing skills are good?"
Nagayama Naoki seems to remember that this guy will have some famous songs in the future.
"Do you have singing skills? Just average~"
Itou Shuichi shook his head, "It doesn't sound very good, but I don't know why many people like it..."
Yoshimura Otomo seemed to be inspired and said: "As an idol, if you appear a few times in front of thousands of people, some people will always remember you."
The audience's attention is limited and forgetful. As long as the exposure rate is high enough and the base is large enough, there will always be fans.
Don’t those various weird live broadcasts in later generations also have thousands of fans?
At this time, Itou Shuichi pulled out a video tape: "This was given to me by a friend. It was a video tape of a singing program. I was originally going to let me help cut it. I remember that the Tahara Trio appeared."
With that said, he put the videotape into the projector and adjusted the speed, directly to the moment when the Tahara Trio appeared.
What appeared on the screen were colorful live lights, and a man in shorts making strange movements following the beat of the music. It was Kondo Masahiko...
The other two people seemed to have no reaction, but Nagayama Naoki looked very embarrassed...
From the perspective of future generations, the choreography and lighting are simply scummy, and the lead singer's singing is not in tune, and the dancing is not as good as the three backup dancers next to it!
The three backup dancers at least kept up with the rhythm and their movements were very smooth. Oooh, that backflip was pretty good!
...
After watching the videotape, Nagayama Naoki said directly:
"Shuiichi-san, Otomo-san, Kondo Masahiko, let's just forget about it... Groups like the Tahara Trio may not participate in our movie~"
Yoshimura Otomo also nodded: "At the beginning of the year, when a popular group like the Tahara Trio officially released a new song and went on tour, they would definitely not have the time to film a movie, and the cost would be very expensive."
"That's right, after all, they are the most popular male idol group right now~"
Although it's not the reason why Nagayama Naoki vetoed them, it's okay, as long as it doesn't appear in his own movie.
But the backup dancers who appeared just now feel very familiar. Are they the backup dancers for Tahara Trio now? Could it be that they are the youth team?
"Otomo-san, did you notice the backup dancer just now?"
Yoshimura Otomo was a little confused: "Dancer?"
"Hi, those three dancers are very good and they are also very young. Can you help me ask?"
Although it is a bit abrupt, Naoki Nagayama feels that if it is really a youth team, then inviting them to participate in the movie would be a bargain~
"Okay, I'll go find out later." Yoshimura Otomo nodded in response. He was going to talk to Johnny anyway, so I'll just ask him casually.
Itou Shuichi asked: "What about the actresses? There are at least two main heroines."
"Does Ms. Higuchi Kananko have a schedule?" Nagayama Naoki asked directly. After all, the several cooperations were pretty good.
"I already asked yesterday~" Yoshimura Otomo said, "But Miss Nanzi is filming other TV series and has no schedule~"
"Eh...that's it~"
"Then the only option is to go to other firms for consultation~"
...
The afternoon was spent discussing casting and plot.
The basic supporting roles were all divided up by everyone in the studio.
Even Yoshimura Otomo, who always said he was busy, also pretended to be an extra...
Seeing that it was getting late, Nagayama Naoki hurriedly said goodbye.
"Otomo-san, Shuichi-san~ If nothing happens, I'll go back first~"
"Eh? Why don't we have dinner together?" Itou Shuichi was surprised. Isn't this guy Naoki your favorite?
"Hahaha, are you in a hurry to go on a date?"
Nagayama Naoki was speechless: "Not yet... I have a little thing at home to take care of~"
"little things?"
"Hi, adopted a puppy."
Itou Shuichi was even more surprised: "Adopt a puppy? Is Naoki-san too lonely? Wouldn't it be better to fall in love?"
"...Shuichi-san, don't be like an old woman..." Nagayama Naoki was helpless, "You can't just ignore the lost puppy you saw on a snowy day~"
"Hahaha, that's it, there's nothing we can do about it~"
After Nagayama Naoki's car drove away, Itou Shuichi and Yoshimura Otomo whispered,
"Otomo-san, do you think... Naoki-san is the one?"
"That? Which one?"
"It's just...GAY!" Itou Shuichi said, "I haven't had a girlfriend for a whole year!"
"Eh?" Yoshimura Otomo thought about it, and it seemed possible. He was young, wealthy, and handsome. Logically speaking, he should be swimming in the sea of flowers.
"No, it looks normal~"
"Is it even possible..."
"Shuichi-san, don't worry too much~ Even if it is, it is Naoki-san's personal choice."
"Nothing to worry about...just curious, just curious..."
...
Naoki Nagayama was driving on his way home,
I sneezed a few times in the car,
But he didn't realize that there were two guys orchestrating him behind his back.
"You have a cold? Dress warmly~"
When I returned to Sansakura-in, I heard Yotaro's cry as soon as I opened the door.
I ran over very excitedly and spun around my feet.
"Yingtaro, have you taken good care of your house?"
After licking the dog's head a few times, Nagayama Naoki walked to the living room with the little thing in his arms and looked around. It was not too messy~
Hey, why are there a little wrinkles on the table legs?
When I walked in, I saw a few tiny teeth marks.
"Ying Tailang, did you do it?" Ying Tailang looked innocent.
I opened the dog's mouth slightly and saw that there were no strange marks on the small teeth.
