Sitting on the Toyota Crown owned by his agent Matsuzawa Masaki, Kondo Masahiko looked unhappy and spoke in a rather dissatisfied tone.
"Why do I have to go to some selection meeting? Obviously the three guys from the youth team can just come out."
Matsuzawa Masaki sighed inwardly, then it’s not like others don’t like you~
However, he fully understood the character of his idol and did not say it stupidly: "On the one hand, Fuji TV thinks that the three members of the youth team are suitable for the role; on the other hand, it may also be due to the schedule of Mahiko-san.
Don’t you understand?”
Anyway, saying this will almost calm you down.
"Hey! Why didn't Marissa just help bring the character over?" Kondo Masahiko complained in the car, relying on Kitagawa Mari's love for him.
Masaki Matsuzawa, who was sitting in the front row, wisely kept his mouth shut. That was of course because this was a project led by Fuji TV Production Bureau! Even Johnny & Associates would not offend someone because of an idol like you.
, besides, they originally invited Johnny’s idol to star.
When we arrived at Fuji TV's headquarters building in Kawadacho, Shinjuku-ku, we happened to meet a Toyota Century at the gate.
The experienced Matsuzawa Masaki immediately slowed down the car and gave way to the entrance.
Kondo Masahiko was a little unhappy: "Zhengjun-san, why do you want us to give in?"
I'm a popular idol right now! An idol singer who just won the Cable Music Award the day before yesterday! Shouldn't he make way for me?
"Mahiko-san, that's a Toyota Century!"
Masahiko Kondo, who just turned 18, doesn’t have a driver’s license yet, but he knows the brand of the car and knows that the Toyota Century is a luxury car. “So what? I can afford it in the future too!”
Matsuzawa Masajun curled his lips. As for a car worth more than 20 million yuan, his low-end Toyota Crown is considered a mid-to-high-end car. It is also an official car of Johnny & Associates. It is specially equipped with it for the sake of the reputation of the office.
Yeah, it's not at the same level as the top version opposite.
Johnny's implements a monthly salary system. If you want to buy one, you have to wait 10 years!
But the reason why I gave it up was not because it was expensive:
"Mahiko-san, usually people who ride in this kind of car are either rich or noble. If you come to Fuji TV, you might be a high-ranking person or an important figure in the TV station. We'd better not have any conflicts."
After hearing what his agent said, Kondo Masahiko stopped playing.
So I waited for the car in front to open the door first, and then slowly drove my car into the garage.
On the other side, Nagayama Naoki took advantage of the noon to go back to Yamasakurain and put Yotaro back at home. After all, he couldn't take him to the selection meeting in the afternoon.
I also took a shower and changed into a set of clothes. I was still wearing the clothes I wore when I came out of Kyoto. Although it was cold and I didn't sweat much, I still felt uncomfortable.
This time when I went out, I did not open the convertible, but took out the Toyota Century that I had not used for a long time, and went to the studio to pick up Otomo Yoshimura.
"Naoki-san, why are you driving this car today?"
Yoshimura Otomo happily sat in the back seat. The handmade interior decoration was low-key and luxurious, and the spacious back seat space was very comfortable. Sitting in the back seat, it felt like Naoki Nagayama had become his own driver.
"The convertible is a bit cold." Naoki Nagayama felt strange when he saw Otomo Yoshimura's expression, "Otomo-san, are you thinking of something rude?"
"No way!" Yoshimura Otomo replied immediately, fully revealing his true thoughts, but he quickly found an excuse, "I was thinking about the selection criteria for a while!"
"Is that so?" Nagayama Naoki glanced at the rearview mirror suspiciously. Seeing Yoshimura Otomo's serious appearance, he couldn't find any flaws, "As long as he has a Prince Charming-like temperament."
With that said, he drove the car onto the road.
The closed windows blocked all the cold air outside, and the good sound insulation materials reduced the noise on the road to a whisper. The air conditioner turned on made the car so warm that Fangcun Otomo even felt a little sleepy.
An American country music tape was inserted into the car stereo. The simple instruments and lazy voice seemed to make people wander in that lazy summer afternoon.
The Tokyo seen through the car window seems to be covered with a soft light filter. Under the winter sky, the buildings have retracted their edges and appear gentler. The pedestrians on the roadside seem to be in a silent movie.
Walking slowly in the car, the occasional exchanges and chats and laughter are like those in TV dramas, separated by a dimension from the two people in the carriage.
It was not a rush hour in the afternoon, and the half-hour drive was quick. The Toyota Century took the two of them onto the road in Kawada Town, and the Fuji TV building was not far away.
Nagayama Naoki turned off the speaker and said to the back row:
"Otomo-san, we are almost there."
Fangcun Dayou immediately sat up straight as if he had been awakened: "Huh? Oh, so fast?"
"Did Otomo-san actually fall asleep?" Naoki Nagayama looked in the rearview mirror at the Mediterranean Sea where Otomo Otomo was becoming increasingly rare. "I must have been too tired recently."
"It's okay, it's actually because it's so comfortable in the back row, and the music is so soothing." Otomo Yoshimura once again praised Nagayama Naoki's driving skills, "Naoki-san's driving skills are also very skilled, it's not like that at all.
What about young people in their twenties?"
Indeed, when young people drive, they are generally in a hurry. They start accelerating in one go, and they refuel and brake vigorously. They accelerate as soon as they get in the car, and stop suddenly when braking, making the passengers feel the jolt of youth;
The middle-aged people are more skillful in their skills. They step on the accelerator lightly and brake lightly, honk the horn less and shift gears more. They don’t seek speed but smoothness. When they are low on energy, they can stop for a cigarette and continue on the road.
In his previous life, Naoki Nagayama was an experienced driver for many years. The car drove really smoothly. Even if he doesn’t become an idol in the future, he can still apply for a driver or something.
"Talent," Naoki Nagayama said perfunctorily, "Otomo-san, we've arrived."
The gate of the Fuji TV building is already in front of you, but there happens to be a Toyota Crown coming from the opposite side, which is closer to the gate than you are.
Just when Nagayama Naoki was about to slow down, the car suddenly stopped and gave way to the road.
"Looks like I met a good person~"
Yoshimura Otomo saw it more clearly: "It was this Toyota Century that frightened others."
Naoki Nagayama did not give in and drove the car directly into the parking lot.
Masaki Matsuzawa drove his Toyota Crown into the underground garage and followed the Toyota Century, and parked not far away.
When Kondo Masahiko and Matsuzawa Masajun got out of the car, they also saw Nagayama Naoki and Mediterranean Yoshimura Otomo coming out of the back row.
"Isn't that? Naoki Nagayama from Shuyu Pictures? That's Otomo Yoshimura in the back? How come he's already in a Toyota Century?"
Matsuzawa Masajun recognized the two of them, and everyone who met them a year and a half ago could recognize them. The manager Johnny assigned to Kondo Masahiko was considered a capable person in the industry.
The Japanese entertainment industry is neither big nor small. The division of labor in this circle is very fine. It is easy to get to know household-known idol stars here. However, if there is no business dealings, the employees of the idol agency may not know each other for many years.
Get to know each other.
Masako Matsuzawa had heard about the popularity of several Shuyu Pictures movies, and was also concerned about Naoki Nagayama's recent scandal, but he was not very clear about the real revenue of Shuyu Pictures.
"It's that guy Naoki Nagayama! We actually gave way to them?!"
Kondo Masahiko spotted Nagayama Naoki at a glance. If he stood with Yoshimura Otomo, all eyes would naturally be attracted to the more handsome one.
I stole an advertisement for Nagayama Naoki before, but I found out that this guy actually drove a luxury car, so I was extremely jealous. Later, Johnny's Youth Team even co-starred with this guy in a movie, which achieved great box office and reputation.
, which made Kondo Masahiko so jealous that he broke the news of bullying his juniors during the filming of a Fuji TV program, which made him have a very difficult time.
"Is this guy also here to participate in the selection meeting? But you won't get what you want this time!"
Kondo Masahiko has a great psychological advantage over Nagayama Naoki at this time, because he has just won the Cable Music Awards, while that guy has been disgraced by scandals recently.
As for the capital game behind the scandal, Kondo Masahiko didn't know.
The two groups of people met at the elevator. Yoshimura Otomo and Matsuzawa Masajun were both agents, and their tactful social skills were still there. Even though they had a history of grabbing business in the past, they now exchanged greetings as if nothing had happened.
Masahiko Kondo, on the other hand, looked like he had his nostrils turned upward, which made Naoki Nagayama, who didn't like this guy very much, not want to speak. The two of them stood behind the managers of both parties and made a show of it.
"Otomo-san, it's been such a long time!"
"Ah, Masahiro-san too, long time no see." Yoshimura Otomo shook Matsuzawa Masaki-san's extended hand, preemptively trying to overwhelm the opponent's momentum, "I also want to thank Jung-kyun-san for being so humble at the door just now."
"Haha, it's nothing," Matsuzawa Masaki said with a smile, "I didn't expect it was Otomo-san who was in Toyota Century. I thought he was an important guest of the TV station."
It means that Yoshimura Otomo is not an important person.
"Haha, anyway, we have to thank Jungjun-san for making way for us." Regardless of whether it was true or not, you made way for us anyway.
Matsuzawa Masaki had no choice but to give way. He couldn't escape from this fact, so he could only change the subject: "Otomo-san, are you here to participate in the selection meeting today?"
"Oh? Zhengjun-san is also here to participate in the selection meeting?" Yoshimura Otomo was a little surprised, and then looked at the two people opposite him with a somewhat amused look.
"Hi, my Kondo Masahiko, his singing career is developing smoothly, and he also intends to try a role in Fuji TV's new drama. It just so happens that Johnny's Junior Team has already confirmed to participate. If the four male protagonists are all Johnny's, say
It might become a great story."
The production committee has not yet been formed, and the specific production situation of "Boys Over Flowers" is still unclear. Except for a few organizations that have already confirmed their participation, offices and production companies in the industry only know that Fuji TV is planning to spend huge sums of money to film a campus drama.
It's just a romance drama.
Even Johnny, who had already invited artists, only knew part of the plot, and the script was provided by Shuyou Pictures. Masaki Matsuzawa obviously did not know the important role Shuyou Pictures played in it. At this time, he still
He was thinking of using the news that someone in his family had confirmed to attack Yoshimura Otomo.
At this time, Yoshimura Otomo laughed mischievously: "Haha, yes, that was really a great story!"
While they were talking, the elevator had already reached the first floor. Yoshimura Otomo and Matsuzawa Masajun walked out first, still giving way:
"Please first!" "Please!"
Obviously both of them wanted to go out first, but at this time, it was like they were acting, but Nagayama Naoki didn't care much about the order and gave way to the door. They could leave first if they wanted to, and he just happened to lead the way.
Before Kondo Masahiko got out of the elevator, he actually approached Nagayama Naoki, stared at him and said fiercely: "You have no chance!"
Nagayama Naoki was a little confused. Where did this guy get such hostility?
Although he said some bad words to Akina, it was only the third time that he and he met, and they didn't even exchange a few words.
But this guy seems to be in his early 170s, threatening Naoki Nagayama who is over 180.
Well.
Still have to hold your head up.
The door of the first studio is very small, but after opening the door, you will find that it is almost as big as a basketball court, and there are separate small offices, dressing rooms and rest rooms. The layout is similar to that of Shuyou Films
The photo studio is somewhat similar.
Nagayama Naoki and the others arrived quite late. At this time, there were already dozens of male artists and managers in the studio, chatting with each other, waiting for the audition to begin. Several employees from Fuji TV with job badges
Officers are maintaining order.
After the four people came in, they were spotted by Nishirumi who was greeting the guests, and they quickly came over to ask for information:
"Johnny's & Co., Kondo Masahiko, right?"
"Yes." Kondo Masahiko is still well-known.
"Hi, this is your number plate. Please keep it. When the selection meeting starts later, you will enter the venue according to the number plate."
After registering, Nishi Rumi issued a number plate to Kondo Masahiko in a formal manner.
But after seeing Naoki Nagayama at the end, Nishi Rumi immediately became enthusiastic:
"Naoki-san, you're here! Why are you so slow? Come with me quickly~"
As he spoke, he took Nagayama Naoki's arm and pushed him into the small office.
Nagayama Naoki was caught off guard by Nishirumi's enthusiasm, but he still followed the force and walked over.
"Nishirumi-san. Don't be so anxious~"
He didn't know that of course Nishi Rumi had also watched Monday's "It's Okay to Laugh", and for a guy like Nagayama Naoki who knows how to tease people, Nishi Rumi has become a loyal fan!
"Da Taisang has been waiting for a long time!"
Kondo Masahiko, who was watching Nishirumi dragging Nagayama Naoki away from behind, looked very unhappy at this time. He thought Nagayama Naoki had entered the venue early for the selection.
