After a day's work, it was almost 10 o'clock, and Akina Nakamori was sent back to her apartment by her agent.
"Please take me back today, Kenji-san, Arigado." After getting off the car, Nakamori Akina politely thanked Hatanaka Kenji, "Be careful on the way back~"
"Hey, Akina-san, please go to bed early. I'll pick you up at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning." Kenji Hatanaka nodded, then started the car and drove onto the road.
Akina Nakamori waited until the car slowly disappeared before turning back to the apartment. When passing by the mailbox, she took out all the letters, magazines, flyers and the like that were stuffed in the mailbox. There was actually a thick pile.
Akina didn't feel too strenuous holding this pile of things. After all, she had been helping her family with housework since she was a child, and her arms were well-defined.
The thing wasn't heavy, but it was very inconvenient to hold. After freeing one hand to open the door, Akina kicked off her shoes and didn't even bother to put on her slippers. She quickly walked to the living room and threw the whole thing on the coffee table.
A "Peng" sound.
Among the scattered debris, a package wrapped in a large leather envelope was revealed.
"What's this?"
Akina picked up the package and looked through it. The recipient's address only had the room number written on it, while the sender's address had the names Chiyoda-Yamuzakuin,
"Ah, it's from Naoki-san!" Akina opened the envelope happily after seeing it. Inside was a letter and a white book that still smelled of ink - "Love Letter".
"Akina-chan, this is my newly published novel, please appreciate it! - Naoki Nagayama"
There was a short sentence on the letter, and Akina Nakamori was filled with joy. At this time, she remembered the breaking news she saw in the morning, and couldn't help but said angrily:
"Humph, this is the book~"
"It turns out it's Naoki-san's new novel, and I gave it to my friends to read in advance~"
"I just said how could anyone give someone a "Love Letter" casually!"
After reading for a while alone in the living room, Akina Nakamori immediately started reading "Love Letter" because she couldn't bear it. She put the book on the bedside and prepared to read it for a while before going to bed, and then went to wash up in a happy mood.
...
Speechless all night~
...
Early in the morning, Kenji Hatanaka drove his car to pick up people on time. He was going to participate in an outdoor variety show this morning, and it was in the forest, so he had to hit the road early.
Naturally, Nakamori Akina was already waiting at the door of the apartment on time. In terms of professionalism, Hatanaka Kenji can guarantee that this underage idol is definitely one of the best among the artists he has served.
However, today's Akina Nakamori seems...
"Akarina-san, you didn't have any rest yesterday, okay?"
Kenji Hatanaka saw a haggard Akina in the rearview mirror, with bloodshot eyes, big dark circles, and swollen eye sockets. The originally beautiful silkworm was about to break out of its cocoon and turn into a butterfly~
If it weren't for his own idol, Kenji Hatanaka would say that he looks like a social beast who just worked overtime all night and didn't sleep.
"Ah... I really didn't sleep well."
Nakamori Akina's voice was also weak. She only slept for 3 hours when the alarm clock woke her up again. No one could hold on.
I obviously just wanted to read it for a while and then go to sleep last night, but after I opened "Love Letter", I couldn't stop, and I saw the ending before I knew it... It was so beautiful...
I said silently in my heart: "It's all Naoki-san's fault!"
Kenji Hatanaka had nothing to do about this situation. He could only give some advice: "Akina-san, please take care of yourself. It will take more than an hour for us to get to the shooting location. Let's take this opportunity to adjust first."
"Hey, I'm going to trouble Kenji-san along the way." If you want to rest, the driving will be smoother, which will consume more energy for the driver.
"If anything, this is what I should do."
Therefore, Japanese agents all have first-hand driving skills!
........
While eating in the morning, Nagayama Naoki was surprised to find that not only Tokyo Sports, but also some other newspapers had his own scandal.
However, in some newspapers, the content stated that it was a work party, highlighting that Naoki Nagayama's Shuyu Pictures was producing a movie, and the starring roles include Shinichi Chiba, Kanako Higuchi, Nana Okada, etc.
,
Although there is no specific movie title, the report points out a lot of shooting details, including several Akita dogs. At a glance, you can tell that it is the work of Yoshimura Otomo;
In another type of article, the focus is on different stars, such and such a star starred in a certain star, a certain actor participated in a certain play for the first time, and collaborated with a certain person for the first time... Obviously,
The agencies behind Shinichi Chiba, Kanako Higuchi, and Nana Okada also took advantage of the situation and promoted their own artists.
"They are all smart people~" Nagayama Naoki put down the newspaper and was surprised by the sensitivity and execution ability of agencies in the entertainment industry. "It is indeed an agency that can stand firm in the entertainment industry."
It is conceivable that with the tacit cooperation of several parties, there will still be a wave of articles in the next few days, continuing to maintain this popularity. In the end, the movie has been warmed up in advance, the exposure of the artists has greatly increased, and the unreleased new book "
"Love Letter" will also be known to others... It's a win-win situation.
The only possible negative thing is that Naoki Nagayama might be given the impression of being a playboy. The last few times he has been in the media, it seems they were all because of scandals!
But what does that matter? I, Naoki Nagayama, don’t plan to be interviewed!
After finishing breakfast An Anxin, Naoki Nagayama took Taro Taro for a walk. By the way, he also brought a new book to Mr. Aoyama and asked him to help deliver it to Chikako Aoyama. What kind of youth novel does he, an old man, want to read~
However, when the old man looked at the words "Love Letter" on the cover, his eyes seemed to be looking at some trash...
"You guy!" Nobu Aoyama weighed the novel, his eyes scanning the vital points of the human body opposite, as if he was looking for a place to take the picture.
Before the old gentleman could say anything, Naoki Nagayama yelled: "Stop! This is a serious novel! It will go on sale soon! I just gave Chikoko a copy in advance because I regard her as a friend! Goodbye!
"
Then he immediately took Yingtaro and slipped out, leaving a lonely old man helpless in the store~
After a while, Qingshan Xin sat on the chair and opened the novel:
"I want to see if this is a serious novel!"
...
Arriving at the studio, there were still three people in the editing room: Shuichi Yoto, Masataka Komori, and Naoki Nagayama, who had just arrived.
"Shu Yi-san, Masako-kun, you have arrived."
"Hi, Naoki-san, how was your rest yesterday?"
Yin Tang Shuichi had a hutch, and even though he went home early, he kept thinking about the editing plot, so he didn't sleep well at all.
This was after Nagayama Naoki had sorted out the rough storyboards. If he had just relied on himself to edit, his hair would probably keep falling down, let alone being unable to sleep at this time.
"I'm fine, but Shuichi-san seems to be in bad spirits." Nagayama Naoki patted Yintang Shuichi on the shoulder, "Xiusichi-san, you are only in your thirties, and you are at your peak age. How could you do this?
What does it look like?”
Yin Tangxiu clapped his hands away and said angrily: "You and Masako-kun are at their peak, okay? Look at Masako-jun, he worked until midnight yesterday, and he is still very motivated today!"
Next to him, Masataka Komori seemed to be in high spirits. He smiled shyly after hearing this. He did not dare to talk to his boss casually about this topic.
"Hahaha, Masako-kun is working really hard. Shuichi-san is going to give you a big red envelope this year!"
Masataka Komori smiled even brighter~
Indo Shuichi rolled his eyes at Naoki Nagayama: "I want you to tell me! Okay, start working!"
There is nothing to say about the boring editing work. It is just mechanical repetition and occasional bursts of inspiration.
However, some of the scripts for the filming were modified, and the actors were also different, so it was impossible to edit the movie exactly the same as the movie I had seen in the previous life. In these different places, we had to rely on the two talents of Shuichi Yondou and Masataka Komori.
A director with formal background to perfect it.
I still had a lunch on the set at noon, and when I was editing for an hour or two in the afternoon, Fangcun Otomo came to the studio,
"Naoki-san, are you busy in the afternoon?"
"Well, of course I'm a little busy..."
But then I thought about it, now that I have the plot in general, it’s not impossible to leave it to Shuichi Indou and Masataka Komori occasionally. This can train their editing skills!
"But if there's something urgent, you can still squeeze in some time."
Yoshimura Otomo nodded, "That's right, Mr. Kadokawa Haruki wants to see you again."
"Eh? You want to see me? Why?" It's obvious that we haven't interacted with each other at all since the last celebration party.
Yoshimura Otomo was also confused: "I was originally discussing promotion matters with Isao Morikawa from Kadokawa Films today, but after he answered the phone, he said that Haruki Kadokawa was very interested in the new movie and wanted to talk about it together.
, and also specifically mentioned Naoki-san.”
"That's it."
Naoki Nagayama had no idea what Haruki Kadokawa was thinking, but it was probably not a bad thing, "Then go ahead, it shouldn't matter."
"Okay, then let's set off."
"Are you in such a hurry?"
"It's a dinner treat."
"Uh, okay then~"
After Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Yindo explained the situation, they hurried back to Yamasakura-in to change into a set of clothes and dropped Taro Taro back home. This was considered a business meeting, so naturally it had to be more formal.
On the way to the restaurant, they were riding in Otomo Yoshimura's car. Naoki Nagayama looked at the old car and said:
"Otomo-san, this car is too old! You have made so much money, why don't you consider changing to another car?"
Fangcun Dayou shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Zhi Shusang, how can you have so much money..."
"Eh? Didn't we just share more than 100 million before?" Naoki Nagayama was surprised. After all, it would be enough to change the car.
"It's all spent on the house..." Yoshimura Otomo said, "and the tuition fees for Jingxin... Private aristocratic schools are really expensive."
"Then it doesn't cost so much, right? Is Otomo-san's new house a mansion worth 100 million?...Wait a minute, did Otomo-san pay the full price?" Nagayama Naoki sensed something was wrong.
.
Yoshimura Otomo nodded blankly: "Of course, didn't Naoki-san also pay in full?"
Nagayama Naoki shook his head: "Otomo-san, in fact, the current brokerage situation means that it is very advantageous to buy with a loan. I simply don't want to be a house slave... When I first started buying a house, I also bought it with a loan.
of."
When the economy develops rapidly and generates inflation, money will become less and less valuable. In the late stages of the bubble, a monthly loan of one million yuan will be like pocket money for a child.
"Eh? Is that so?"
Yoshimura Otomo was surprised. As a member of the generation who went out to work after graduating from junior high school, they did not have a strong concept of economics at all.
However, Nagayama Naoki didn't say anything: "Just pay the full amount for the tape. Don't feel like you owe anyone money. I'll replace it when the movie is finished."
When the time comes, you can just exchange for a luxury home!
...
The place where Kadokawa Haruki treats guests is always unexpected. Yoshimura Otomo's car drove directly to the Kikunoi Main Store in Shimokawaramachi, Higashiyama District, Kyoto, a famous kaiseki restaurant with a history of more than 70 years.
A little further east from Gion, you can see a restaurant with a very quiet front, and the surrounding environment is also very quiet, quiet and stylish.
After entering the door and telling the store manager their names, a female general took Nagayama Naoki and Yoshimura Otomo to a private room.
"Naoki-san, Otomo-san, you are here!" Kadokawa Haruki greeted the two of them enthusiastically when he saw them coming, and Morikawa Isao who was standing by said hello with a smile.
"Haru Shu-san, did you actually make a reservation here?" Yoshimura Otomo also greeted him very familiarly, "It is said that reservations at Kikunoi Main Store can only be made a month in advance, right?"
"Hahaha, I am a regular customer of this store and I know the store manager very well. Today I have to entertain important friends, so I asked the store manager Sang!"
The words spoken by Kadokawa Haruki made people feel refreshed and made Yoshimura Otomo happy.
"Chun Shusang's kindness is really flattering."
Obviously the wrinkles on his face are showing when he smiles...
Nagayama Naoki also smiled and chatted with Kadokawa Haruki, without inquiring too much about the purpose of the trip, just like a normal communication between friends.
"I heard that Naoki-san's new movie is already in post-production? Did the filming go smoothly?"
"Thanks to you, the filming process went very smoothly. It is currently in the editing stage. If expected, it should be released in time for July."
"Oh? So fast?"
Kadokawa Haruki was surprised. For a movie, the editing process may be the most important and the most labor-intensive, but Shuyu Pictures is actually so fast...
"Does Naoki-san's team have any special editing skills?"
"Hahaha, Haruki-san is joking, we just had a rough idea of the scene when we were writing the script, so now it's just a matter of piecing it together according to the picture." Nagayama Naoki didn't boast too much and gave all the credit.
It’s time for preliminary preparations.
"That's also a well-written script by Naoki-san. I heard it's a story between a person and a pet, right?" Kadokawa Haruki said casually and did not continue to ask.
"Ah, yes, actually Haruki has heard it too. It's the story of Hachiko, the loyal dog. We just filmed him this time."
How could Haruki Kadokawa not know the specific plot of the movie? Asking here is just asking for directions.
"The loyal dog Hachiko is such a touching story."
Kadokawa Haruki seemed to be reminiscing, and then the topic suddenly started to change again,
"By the way, Naoki-san, I remember when I invited you to a nightclub, it was you who paid the last price, right?"
"Eh? Ah, it should be so." The sudden turn of events almost made Naoki Nagayama unable to turn around. "Everyone was drunk at that time, so I took the liberty to advance the payment first."
"Hahaha, then don't worry this time, I have already paid in advance!" Kadokawa Haruki laughed, "And it doesn't matter even if you are drunk, my driver will send everyone home safely.
!”
"Hahaha, thank you very much Chun Shusang~"
Suddenly he called me over and specifically talked about paying the nightclub fee in advance?
