188, I'm embarrassed to say bad things behind my back~
...
"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.
Sigh...it was really embarrassing, but thinking that Akina would start a very busy debut work after returning to China, Tomioka Nobuo relented,
"Hey, Akina-chan, please pay attention to your safety... remember to shout loudly when something happens, and remember that the US police phone number is 911..."
Looking at Nakamori Akina's brisk back, Tomioka Nobuo felt like a woman who couldn't help herself.
After returning to the hotel in the evening, Xiao Mingcai called Nagayama Naoki and made an appointment to go to Disneyland together tomorrow morning.
How can I talk on the phone?
Of course we knew each other when we first met!
...
Mornings in Los Angeles are always very pleasant, especially in mid-to-late March. The moderate temperature and bright sunshine make it a good weather to go out and play.
Nagayama Naoki called a taxi early in the morning and agreed with the driver to pick up someone first and then go to Disneyland.
When you arrived at the hotel, you could see Akina Nakamori at a glance, because she put on the bright yellow sweatshirt and jeans again, and carried a small backpack. She was young, beautiful and full of energy, and she was very conspicuous among the people entering and leaving the hotel.
,
"Akina-chan, here~" After waving, Akina came out after saying hello to other people in the hall, and quickly got into a taxi.
"Good morning, Naoki-san~ Have you had breakfast?"
"It's early Akina-chan~ I've already eaten it." Nagayama Naoki glanced towards the hotel lobby and felt that someone seemed to be staring at this side.
As the taxi started to move, no one could be seen: "Is Akina-chan alone? Aren't my colleagues going?"
"Everyone seems to still have some finishing work." Xiao Mingcai said, "And I have nothing to do~"
"Oh? When will Akina-chan go back?"
"Tonight's flight, when will Naoki-san return?"
"I'm pretty fast too, maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow~" Naoki Nagayama thought that maybe he could say goodbye to Robert.
On the way to Disneyland, Nagayama Naoki and Akina talked about some things after their debut.
After Akina returns to Japan, she should be promoting her debut song non-stop. Intensive promotion for about a month, and as many announcements and offline visits as possible. In short, she must have more exposure.
"Akina-chan, you will be very busy when you get back!" Naoki Nagayama sounded a little worried, "I heard that I have to sleep in the car~"
"Hahaha, Naoki-san is too exaggerated~" Xiao Mingcai obviously didn't believe it. She still doesn't know how popular she will be in the future.
"Anyway, let's be mentally prepared first..."
Disneyland in Los Angeles is the first Disneyland in the world. It opened in 1955. It is located in the southeast corner of Los Angeles. It takes more than ten minutes to drive from the city center, but you can already see many tourists heading to Disneyland on the road.
After arriving at their destination, Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori chose a one-day ticket. Disneyland was very large and not surrounded by anything, but the bustling crowds had already marked the location of the rides.
It is not the same as in later generations, but the main animation characters can be seen everywhere. Classic images such as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck can be seen everywhere. Even the images of Star Wars have appeared. Cute dolls will be encountered in the middle of the road. Fantasy castles
It has also been erected.
When you come to Disneyland, you naturally want to play the famous Ferris wheel, but let’s start with the high-speed roller coaster first.
Naoki Nagayama and Akina waited in line for more than ten minutes before they finally got the chance.
"Have you ever played Akina-chan before?"
"Of course I have ridden roller coasters before, but the roller coasters in Japan don't seem to be that high..."
As the roller coaster slowly moved forward, Akina was still leisurely comparing the differences between Japan and the United States.
But when it reached the highest point, Akina grabbed Naoki Nagayama's arm. When the car rushed down at high speed, the momentary feeling of weightlessness and excitement made Akina-chan shout out. Of course, Naoki Nagayama also
While shouting, everyone seemed to have broken through their usual restraints.
The roller coaster ride is not long, only 5 minutes at most, but the feeling of your heart racing over the mountain makes your legs feel weak when you get off.
"Akina-chan must be scared, hahaha, she can't even stand anymore~" Nagayama Naoki stretched out a hand to support the slightly swaying Akina.
"Hmph, Naoki-san was obviously scared and screamed!" Xiao Mingcai pointed out without mercy.
"I was cooperating with Akina-chan, otherwise wouldn't it be embarrassing if Akina screamed alone~" Nagayama Naoki said harshly.
"It's the first time I realize that Naoki-san is so thick-skinned~ Hahahahaha" Halfway through, Akina was amused by her own words.
