Nagayama Naoki is answering the call from Yoshimura Otomo,
Yoshimura Otomo acted very efficiently, but within two days he contacted Fuji TV's variety show and was willing to speak out about the unspoken rules in the entertainment industry:
"Naoki-san, but the program planner insists that you appear on the show."
Nagayama Naoki was very puzzled: "Why should I go? Obviously I am not the center of public opinion anymore?"
"Because Naoki-san is the starting point of everything." Yoshimura Otomo imitated the tone of the Fuji TV producer, "That's why the producer told me."
"But..." Naoki Nagayama wanted to say something else, "I'm not an artist. I seemed to be a guest on all the previous shows."
"Daitaibu, this program is a very simple talk show, and the person we are talking to is also a very experienced host." Fangcun Dayou then whispered, "You can have a script."
Since I have a script, I don’t want to go either!
Nagayama Naoki still wanted to struggle. After all, recording variety shows is very tiring, and it was for such a boring reason.
"Otomo-san"
"Naoki-san, this is an opportunity that Minister Takano only fought for for the sake of "Boys Over Flowers"!"
Yoshimura Otomo advised that originally the TV station did not want to step into this whirlpool of public opinion, but the project "Boys Over Flowers" has been signed and huge investment has been made.
If the broadcast rate drops due to the loss of Naoki Nagayama's reputation, his face will also look ugly.
In addition, through several previous meetings and comments from his subordinates, he also knew that Naoki Nagayama was a good person. This time he was completely targeted, so he was willing to help.
"Most of the content in the program also revolves around recommendations for new movies."
For this reason, Nagayama Naoki naturally couldn't refuse.
When leaving the studio, Riko Hayano prepared a bag of materials for Naoki Nagayama.
Naoki Nagayama browsed through some posters and promotional photos of "That Summer, the Sea of Tranquility", etc.
When he came to the Fuji TV studio building again, the production office sent a program producer with whom he had met once to pick him up - Haruta Ueya.
"Naoki-san, we meet again."
Haruta Ueya smiled broadly. Naoki Nagayama left a good impression on him last time, and this time it was Minister Takano who personally handed over the task, which made him think that Naoki Nagayama had a close relationship with the senior officials.
"Hi, Haruta-san, I'm going to trouble you today."
Naoki Nagayama greeted him humbly. As the program was completely blank, his biggest reliance today was probably this half-familiar producer.
On the way to the studio, Haruta Ueya talked about recent events: "Naoki-san was really unlucky. He was almost splashed with dirty water, and his subsequent counterattack was also very dangerous."
"Yes, there is nothing we can do about it. A small start-up company will naturally only muddy the waters."
Haruta Kamiya thought of the scandalous news about the entertainment industry and various unspoken rules that had recently been revealed in newspapers, and thought to himself: "You are not muddying the water, you are muddying the toilet."
"Naoki-san, although it is said that we want to interview some unspoken rules in the industry, we are a commercial TV station after all, so we may not go too in-depth in the program. I hope you can understand this."
"Hey, of course." It's understandable even if you want to have a good meal.
"By the way, have you brought the promotional materials?" Haruta Kamiya turned around and said to Naoki Nagayama as he was about to arrive at the studio.
"It's all in this bag!" Nagayama Naoki showed the handbag, and then thought that he didn't seem to know what the show was, "Haruta-san, what is the name of our show?"
"Nani, haven't you said this?"
"I just know it's a talk show."
"Well, it's a very new program. It's been very effective after two episodes. It's called "It's Okay to Laugh."
"Huh?" Nagayama Naoki was very surprised when he heard this familiar name. This is the longevity variety show that has been listed in the Guinness Book of Records. "So, today's host is Tamori-san?"
"Yes, do you know Naoki-san?"
"I just heard the name"
"Then you should get to know him well. Tamori-san is a very talented person."
Opening the dark door, the scene in the studio is like entering another world.
The early studio of "It's Okay to Laugh" didn't have as many flower baskets as later ones, but the background was also colorful and bright. Under the bright lights, the entire studio would almost blind other people's eyes.
I arrived relatively early, so the audience seats were still empty, but the staff had already started to go through the process in the studio.
Nagayama Naoki saw the younger version of Tamori confirming something with the staff,
When Haruta Kamiya saw it, he said hello: "Tamorisan, I have brought a guest here. This is Naoki Nagayama."
Tamori, who was wearing glasses, saw: "Arigado, Haruta-san."
Then came the "first meeting." X2 etiquette, after polite acquaintance, Nagayama Naoki quickly asked the question that he had been concerned about on the way: "Tamorisan, can you show me the table? It said that it was not sent.
So I’ve never seen it~”
Tamori and Ueiya Haruta looked at each other and laughed in unison: "Hahaha, script? There was never a script for "It's Okay to Laugh"."
"Eh?!!"
This guy Yoshimura Otomo lied to me?!
After Tamori laughed, he saw Naoki Nagayama was a little overwhelmed and comforted him: "Naoki-san, except for the specific process when you appear, the rest is just chatting. Then you can do whatever you want, believe me.
, I will guide you to continue the conversation."
Looking at Tamori who was wearing sunglasses and seemed to be very reliable, Nagayama Naoki could only smile bitterly and nod: "Hey, I'll bother Tamori-san."
Haruta Kamiya saw that the two of them had reached a consensus, so he said to Naoki Nagayama: "Naoki-san, go backstage with me first and let the makeup artist help adjust your image."
Then he looked at Naoki Nagayama’s handsome look: “Although it feels like there’s nothing to adjust.”
Speaking of which, the makeup artist of Fuji TV is still the same person Naoki Nagayama knows.
"Adai-san, long time no see."
"Ara, isn't this little brother Naoki?"
Although Nakazawa Masashiro has seen many celebrity entertainers on TV, as a middle-aged aunt, she still has fresh memories of the super-high-quality fresh meat. "Are you coming to the show again?"
"Hey, this time it's "It's Okay to Laugh", please Masayo-san."
"No, no, it's too late to be happy to see such a handsome guy like Naoki~"
Haruta Ueya stood by and was very confused: "Masashiro-san, Naoki-san, do you know each other?"
Masayo Nakazawa said: "Naoki-san came here twice, and I helped with the styling, although it didn't require much adjustment."
This little-known makeup artist used the same operation as before, simply styling her hair and then applying a little powder on her face.
"Sure enough, handsome young men often only need the simplest treatment."
When we returned to the studio again, the audience was almost there. Even the background board had photos of actresses who were related to Naoki Nagayama. Was he going to die in public?
Nagayama Naoki was taken behind the background board by the on-site staff.
"When Tamoli-san gives the signal, just walk in through the small door!"
The staff member said this, then handed the previous bag to Naoki Nagayama and left without any arrangements for the next step.
When the on-site director gives the order, the recording of the program begins.
First, there was an opening statement from Tamori, and the audience in the audience rehearsed their responses: "Swish desnei. Sow desnei sow desnei"
Then I heard the front desk say: "Today's guest - Naoki Nagayama!"
When Naoki Nagayama walked out of the backdrop, the audience cheered in unison as the staff directed him. Naoki Nagayama thought he was a popular idol for a moment, and he waved in flattery.
Tamori guided the progress of the show from the front: "Naoki-san, is it your first time to come to "It's Okay to Laugh"?!"
"Yes, didn't the show just air?" Tamori's sincere words suddenly made her successful.
"Don't you know how to be polite?"
Tamori's funny tone made the audience laugh. This time there was no guidance from the staff. Seeing that the baggage was working well, he saw the bag Naoki Nagayama was carrying, and then continued to guide:
"By the way, you came to the stage with such a big bag, what's in it?"
"Ah, these are promotional materials." Naoki Nagayama quickly put the bag on the table and took out something from it, "This is the poster of the movie."
Tamori took the poster and unfolded it: ""That Summer, Sea of Tranquility", this is a movie shot by Naoki-san himself, right?"
"Hey, I went to take pictures on a whim in the summer." Nagayama Naoki took out another promotional leaflet from the bag,
"I heard that the quality of the movie is very good. It's about love or something." Tamori pasted the poster on the background wall, and then took the promotional leaflet,
"Naoki-san is also the screenwriter of "The Tale of Hachiko", "The Time Stolen at the Gas Station" and "The Ghost Story", right?"
"Hi, I used to be a screenwriter for Fuji TV's "Amazing World Stories"." Naoki Nagayama found that there was something else in the bag, so he took it out again.
"They are all famous works. It seems that Naoki-san is very talented!" Tamori was about to praise him, but when he saw Nagayama Naoki taking out some more photos from the bag, "Why do you have so many in this bag?"
thing?"
"Ah, these are some highlights from that time~" Naoki Nagayama showed a collection of photos at the end of the film, "These are the ones that were released at the end of the film."
"That's it~" Seeing Nagayama Naoki put down the bag, Tamori finally continued,
"Speaking of which, Naoki-san has participated in so many movies and achieved good results. How does it feel to make a movie?"
"Do you think it's quite simple?"
Tamori was silent for a moment after hearing this: "Oh Naoki-san, what you say will make hundreds of directors from the entertainment industry rush over to beat you!"
The sudden humor, coupled with the Tamori serpent-like tone, had a very good effect.
"Hahahaha~" Nagayama Naoki laughed, and all the audience present laughed.
However, the conversation changed and Tamori officially started the focus of this program: "Speaking of which, Naoki-san has indeed encountered a lot of troublesome things recently, right?"
"Hey, I was captured by the paparazzi."
"Quietly asking, are you dating Tanaka Yuko-san?" It was not a whisper at all.
"No. I just met a friend while shopping and had a meal together."
"Ginza Street?"
"Hi!"
In this case, one level of misunderstanding has been resolved.
Tamori didn't ask further, "Well, it's normal to meet friends on the street~ The entertainment industry likes to catch the wind and rain."
"Yeah, yeah~"
Instead, he changed his direction: "However, the recent media has been discussing the issue of unspoken rules in the entertainment industry. Has Naoki-san encountered it?"
"Hidden rules? What do you mean?"
"Of course that's the point!"
"Ah, that aspect!" Nagayama Naoki suddenly realized, "I've encountered it before!"
Tamori said with a shocked look on his face: "Someone actually made unwritten rules about Nagayama Naoki?"
Naoki Nagayama had an 'innocent' look on his face: "Ah, yes, when I first entered the industry, I was rumored to be a playboy by an unknown group. If you want to work hard on your own in the entertainment industry, you will
It makes others jealous."
Tamori breathed a sigh of relief: "So it's this kind of unspoken rule."
"What does Tamori-san think it is?" Naoki Nagayama still looked confused.
"I thought it was something like being excluded in a movie selection~" Tamori looked serious.
Everyone present knew that the unspoken rules the two talked about were PY transactions such as pillow sales, but they did not mention it at all in their conversation, and their behavior of pretending to be stupid made the entire audience laugh again.
Although the two did not say much about the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, they still pointed out the two major difficulties Naoki Nagayama faced: being spread rumors and being excluded and suppressed. Unfortunately, the program can only go so far.
There was no rehearsal, but the rhythm was inexplicably in tune, which made Tamoli feel the pleasure of recording a program.
Next, Tamori pointed to the female celebrities and artists on the background board and said: "Speaking of it, Naoki-san has not long since entered the entertainment industry, and has come into contact with so many lovely ladies. It is really enviable.
Are you really still single?”
Nagayama Naoki looked embarrassed: "Ah yes"
"Then why is it called the big radish?"
"Maybe it's because I'm popular because of my appearance, so others misunderstood me."
Tamori looked at the image of Nagayama Naoki and couldn't help but joked: "That's right, no girl can resist it."
As he said that, he looked at his assistant host today - Miyata Sanae, "Sanae-san, do you think so?"
Sanae Miyata seemed unconvinced: "Not everyone only cares about appearance! Boys who don't understand love are also unpopular!"
"Naoki-san, she said you don't understand love." Tamori seemed to be voicing anger. "The director who made love movies like "That Summer, the Sea of Tranquility" said you don't understand love."
"Hahaha, I really don't understand, it's just that it's easier to capture in a movie."
"Todoroki?" Tamori became interested, "Then how do you capture the feeling of love in a movie? For example, in this situation, if the heroine is Sanae Miyata, how can you start becoming one if you are not very interested in the hero?
Will boyfriend and girlfriend eventually turn into love?"
"If you want to become a boyfriend and girlfriend, then find a way to pursue it and create romance~" Nagayama Naoki said dryly, "Sending gifts, flowers, etc.?"
"This kind of romance isn't advanced enough~" Tamori glanced at Sanae Miyata's plain expression: "It seems like Sanae-san won't be moved by this."
"Well, I usually do that in movies, hahaha," Naoki Nagayama laughed, and the audience also followed suit and booed.
Tamori still refused to give up: "Isn't there a better way, Naoki-san?"
"What's a better way? Light candles and arrange them in a heart shape? Confess under the fireworks? Go watch the stars in the sky together?" Naoki Nagayama racked his brains.
"You're going too fast, aren't you? Sanae-san isn't interested in you yet! Not even a friend!" Tamori yelled, causing the audience to join in the discussion, "Think again, think again.
!”
Although I don’t know why the program suddenly turned into a test of pursuing girls and creating romance, under Tamori’s urging, Naoki Nagayama became a little nervous. His eyes glanced around, but he was wondering if there was any other way.
The spotlights and colorful decorations in front of me seemed to be in a trance, until I saw the watch on Tamori's hand, and suddenly a scene from a movie was displayed.
"Ah, I seem to have thought of it." Nagayama Naoki was a little excited at this time,
Tamori had already planned to transition to the next step, but saw Nagayama Naoki looking confident:
"What came to mind?"
"I thought of how to pursue someone who is not interested in me in the movie!"
"?"
"Tamorisan, please lend me your watch."
"Huh? A watch?" Although he was very surprised, Tamori took off the watch and put it on when he saw Nagayama Naoki, "Naoki-san, you're not trying to cheat me of my watch, are you?"
"Hahaha, make a prop." Nagayama Naoki excitedly walked to the side of Miyata Sanae, "Sanae-san, let's demonstrate how to shoot it in the movie. Just answer whatever you want."
"Huh?" Sanae Miyata was disturbed by the sudden scene, and only agreed after seeing Tamori's gesture, "Hi."
At Tamori's signal, the scene fell silent.
Nagayama Naoki slowly walked to Miyata Sanae: "Sanae-san, I want to make friends with you?"
Sanae Miyata looked at Nagayama Naoki's handsome face and suddenly felt a little guilty, but she still said stubbornly: "Why should I be friends with you? Maybe others like to be friends with you, but you are not my type!"
The tone was a bit tough, but Naoki Nagayama did not give up. Instead, he walked to Sanae Miyata and stood side by side with her: "Look at my watch."
Seeing the handsome Nagayama Naoki so close, Miyata Sanae's tone was a little panicked: "Why should I look at your watch?!"
"Just a minute, okay?"
Miyata Sanae's breathing quickened, she turned around slightly, and silently agreed.
Tick tock, the entire studio suddenly fell into silence for a minute. The director zoomed in on the scene between Naoki Nagayama and Sanae Miyata with a wink.
After finally waiting for a minute, Miyata Sanae hurriedly spoke: "The minute is up, tell me why?"
"What's the date today?" Naoki Nagayama was not in a hurry, but asked the date.
"On the 30th."
"On the 30th. November 30th." Nagayama Naoki seemed to recall for a moment, and then he looked at Miyata Sanae with fixed eyes, his tone was soft but firm,
"On November 30, 1982, one minute before 2 p.m., you stood next to me."
"Because of you, I will remember this minute!"
"We'll be friends for a minute from now on."
"This is a fact. You can't change it because it's past."
Sanae Miyata was so stunned that she didn't speak and even held her breath, with a blush on her face.
"I will come again in the future." Nagayama Naoki turned around and moved his face slightly closer to Miyata Sanae, almost making people think that he was going to kiss her.
And then came out the other side,
There was one girl left on the stage whose heartbeat was racing and she was a little helpless.
After finishing speaking, Nagayama Naoki walked back to Tamori, took off his watch,
"Tamorisan, this is probably how it will be shot in the movie."
Tamori seemed to be shocked by Naoki Nagayama's operation. It wasn't until Naoki Nagayama returned the watch to him that he organized his words: "Naoki-san"
"?"
"You are indeed a playboy!"
I just came across this clip today. I couldn’t help but write down the lines from Wong Kar-Wai’s movie. It’s so good!
