295, Mingcaijiang, the emigration turmoil strikes~
Tomioka Nobuo's ground-breaking inquiry made Nakamori Akina panic. This person who has been with him since his debut is not only a senior who has given Akina great help in publicity work, but also has a good relationship with her in life.
's good friend.
Now that he suddenly mentioned the matter of emigration, it was a very unprepared attack for Akina.
"Nobuo-san, are you talking about relocation?" Akina couldn't help but confirm again.
"Hi!" Nobuo Tomioka confirmed, "I plan to resign, and together with some Warner Pioneer employees, we plan to establish a new company, 'Hummingbird', and Tokyu will be the agent to connect the new record company."
Nobuo Tomioka advised: "If Akina-chan agrees, the directors and producers who have been working with us will not have any problems and will come together, and the team members will not change."
Akina, who is still underage, has never faced this kind of thing. Even in the entertainment industry, she has experienced a lot of turmoil, but this decision is still a little too early.
"Hey, Nobuo-san said that suddenly."
"There's no need to worry Akina-chan. You can think about it carefully. At least nothing will change until the next single is completed." Nobuo Tomioka did not press further. "Akina-chan's potential is something that Tokyu Agents also attaches great importance to. Even if
When it comes to 'Hummingbird', support for Akina will not weaken."
The popularity of "Girl A" and "Second Love" has allowed Nakamori Akina to see the scenery of top idols. The industry has already reached a consensus on Nakamori Akina's charm. No matter which record company it is, it will not let such a Ran Ran go.
Rising star.
After leaving the office building of Warner Pioneer, Akina Nakamori frowned in the car. When she saw Yasushi Okawa driving, she couldn't help but ask:
"Kang Zhisang, do you know that some employees of Warner Pioneer are going to the new company?"
"Ah Akina-chan, you must have heard those rumors."
Yasushi Okawa is the manager sent by Kenyin, so he is actually a layer away from the internal trends of the record company. However, even he has heard about it, which shows that there are actually turbulent undercurrents under the calm water.
"There are some rumors, but for Akina now, she should actually focus on the next song itself. No matter where she is, Akina-chan's idol journey will be supported."
In fact, Okawa Yasushi's opinion of Nakamori Akina is still that of a child who has not grown up. Moreover, this kind of thing is usually decided by the production company and agency. The idol's own opinion cannot be said to be unimportant, but it does not matter.
to a decisive role.
Akina's little face bulged. These older employees all regarded themselves as children. This was also the case at work and during performances!
Ginza, Samadhiju.
Naoki Nagayama drove here quickly and was already waiting for the arrival of the two directors in the private room on the third floor.
Masaki Kobayashi and Masahiro Shinoda came together in a taxi ten minutes later.
After getting off the car, looking at the distinctive architectural appearance of Samadhiju, Masaki Kobayashi even took off his sunglasses a little.
"It's such a peculiar place. I've seen it here several times when I passed by it. I didn't expect that someone would open such a teahouse in Ginza. Masahiro-san, have you been here?"
Shinoda Masahiro shook his head, "This is also my first time here."
Masaki Kobayashi laughed: "Naoki Nagayama was photographed here last time. Let's go in and take a look."
As the store manager, Katsuo Yasui recognized the two energetic old men at a glance. As soon as they entered the door, he greeted them: "Are they Mr. Masaki Kobayashi and Mr. Masahiro Shinoda?"
"Huh? Do you know us?" Kobayashi Masaki asked.
"Hi, Naoki-san has already said hello. He has reserved a private room. Please come with me." Katsuo Yasui respectfully led the two of them to the third floor.
Along the way, Masaki Kobayashi looked at the design of Samadhiju with great curiosity: "Masaka-san, this place is quite interesting. I think it can be used as a scene if I make a movie in the future."
Shinoda Masahiro also nodded. There are many carved temples, but this modern teahouse with both Chinese and Japanese styles gives people a unique impact.
"You can make people remember it at a glance."
After arriving in the private room, Katsuo Yasui opened the door, revealing Naoki Nagayama who was sitting at the coffee table and admiring the scenery outside the window.
"Naoki-san, the two guests have arrived."
"Ah, thank you Katsuo-san." Naoki Nagayama stood up and said hello to the two great directors, "Director Masaki Kobayashi, director Masahiro Shinoda, thank you for coming. I am Naoki Nagayama from Shuyu Pictures."
Kobayashi Masaki waved his hand relaxedly and asked Shinoda Masahiro to sit down, as if he were at home: "There's no need to be so polite, Naoki-san, didn't I meet Shinoda Masahiro next to me last time? .”
Nagayama Naoki muttered silently: "When we last met, this guy seemed quite unhappy. I don't know if I offended him at some point."
But since there is already a familiar person among the three of them, the atmosphere will naturally open up easily.
"Well, Masaki-san, Masahiro-san, come and try some tea. I have prepared the best Gyokuro tea - Yame Gyokuro." Just as the deputy store manager Chinatsu Sakakibara brought tea and refreshments, Nagayama Naoki took advantage of the situation. Invited two directors to tea.
As a tea master with superb tea art, Chinatsu Sakakibara is naturally familiar with the brewing skills of top-quality tea, and the performance was also very exciting. For a while, the two directors were obviously immersed in the tea ceremony.
Masahiro Shinoda carefully tasted the tea in the tea cup, and praised him from time to time: "This aroma and sweetness are worthy of Gyokuro~"
Kobayashi Masaki was also tasting it and obviously agreed with it.
Naoki Nagayama has been drinking Gyokuro recently. In fact, he has become a little dull. He feels that Gyokuro is just like that. But of course he agreed at this time.
When the atmosphere got better, Nagayama Naoki finally got to the point: "Masaki-san, Masahiro-san, why do you two recommend "That Summer, the Sea of Tranquility" so wholeheartedly?"
Kobayashi Masaki smiled slightly: "Why, don't you think your movie is worth recommending?"
Speaking of this, Nagayama Naoki naturally would not discredit himself: "Of course it's not just Masaki-san and Masahiro-san's help that makes me a little confused."
Masahiro Shinoda put down the teacup and looked at Naoki Nagayama: "Speaking of it, it was actually Masaki-san who persuaded me. Although I saw this movie and thought it was very good, there was no reason for me to fully support it."
He glanced at his old friend who was drinking tea leisurely and continued: "But Masaki-san and I talked about Shuyou Pictures being collectively suppressed by established production companies. I think this is wrong!"
"Those movie studios are out of date!"
Masahiro Shinoda became excited: "Obviously they occupy the best resources, but they produce more and more similar movies! They also suppress emerging directors and low-budget films. This is damaging to the future of the film industry!"
Masahiro Shinoda, who led the new wave of Japanese films, is very familiar with the current situation of the film industry.
The studio system is collapsing, established film production companies are declining, Nikkatsu has begun to focus on pornographic feature films, Toei's "Wild Kozai" series of films are becoming more and more violent, and Shochiku is relying on comedies to barely recover.
Companies from other industries are entering the film industry, which has also had a huge impact on the distribution and screening methods of films.
This is an era of transition between the old and the new, and an era full of destruction and rebirth.
Masahiro Shinoda has also experienced suppression, so he feels the same way now.
Kobayashi Masaki finally put down the tea cup at this time: "Naoki-san, actually don't worry, there is no big purpose in recommending your movie, it's just that I can't stand such a novel movie being buried. In fact, it's because
"That Summer, the Sea of Tranquility" is truly outstanding."
It was difficult for Naoki Nagayama to have a real sense of the general trend in the film industry because he was neither a professional director nor did he have any research on film history. However, after learning that the two directors had no other thoughts, he felt relieved.
"No matter what, I still want to thank the two directors for their strong support."
Nagayama Naoki toasted the two veteran directors with tea instead of wine.
The conversation that followed became even more relaxed. I don’t know much about the past, but there is no one in Japan who knows more about the development of movies in the next 30 years than Naoki Nagayama.
He chatted with the director about his vision for future movies, including digital movies, 3D movies, and comic-book movies, etc., from the evolution of shooting tools to the development of the movie industry, and he perfectly utilized his ability to boast on the Internet in his previous life.
The two old directors were very excited after hearing this, and they increasingly felt that the young man in front of them was the future pillar of the Japanese film industry, the golden bridge across the sea.
He didn't even leave Samadhiju for lunch, but asked Yasui Katsuo to order it from a nearby high-end restaurant and have it delivered.
It wasn't until the evening that I said goodbye to the two directors, who were already a little exhausted.
Before returning to Yamazakurain, Naoki Nagayama drove to the studio to talk to Yoshimura Otomo about participating in the film selection in the future.
When I walked into the studio, I happened to see Saito Yuki coming out of the conference room. Yoshimura Otomo, Hayano Riko, and Inada Masami were all in the office.
"Naoki-san!" The little girl was very happy after seeing Nagayama Naoki and walked quickly to the side, "I haven't seen it for a long time~"
"Ah, yes~" Nagayama Naoki looked at Saito Yuki who smiled very cutely and was also very happy, "What are Yuki-chan doing today?"
"It's about some arrangements for the debut." Yoshimura Otomo came out to answer, "Yu Taka-chan's record has been produced, and all that's left is to arrange the debut process."
"Huh? Before the end of the year?"
Riko Hayano also came over: "The current arrangement is to make some announcements first, and then make an official debut at the beginning of the year."
Unlike other idols, Saito Yuki did not debut from a talent show and has no naturally accumulated fans in the recording industry. It is equivalent to starting from scratch; but unlike other newcomers, she has a very popular movie and has
A little fame, and some movie fans.
"That's right~" Nagayama Naoki nodded, "The time is about the same."
Hayano Riko had some doubts: "When is the time about?"
Naoki Nagayama pulled several people back to the conference room: "Otomo-san, I came back today just to talk to you. Yuki-chan happens to be here too, so let's just talk to you together."
""That Summer, the Sea of Tranquility" is basically certain to win the best film at the Mainichi Film Awards." As two big guys in the Japanese film industry, they had some predictions about this news, because even the judges
Most of them are their friends.
"Todoroki?!" Hayano Riko and Saito Yuki were both surprised, "Isn't it just the nomination?"
Yoshimura Otomo did not let the two young children continue to ask questions that they should not ask: "Have Naoki-san talked with the two directors?"
"Well, after talking about various reasons, what is certain so far is that many directors and filmmakers who are not big production companies will support us." Naoki Nagayama spoke firmly and gave a affirmative answer to several people present, "
Not only the best film, but also the best director, best screenwriter, and best soundtrack, Yuki-chan is also likely to win the best newcomer award."
"." Yuki Saito was knocked unconscious by the pie falling from the sky.
"Not only the Mainichi Film Awards, but also the subsequent Film Academy Awards and Blue Ribbon Film Awards, "That Summer, the Sea of Tranquility" will be nominated, and the chances of winning are very high!"
Yoshimura Otomo was also shocked by the news. He drank a glass of water to calm down.
"Naoki-san, are you sure?"
"There is a high probability that it will come true."
Nagayama Naoki thought about what Masahiro Shinoda said about the large group of people in the film industry who were suppressed by big production companies. His movie seemed to have become a symbol of their resistance to the established forces.
Yoshimura Otomo suppressed his fluctuating mood and looked at Saito Yuki, Hayano Riko and Inada Masamin: "Then Yuki-chan's debut time will be adjusted."
The results of these awards will basically be announced in January or February. That time will be the most glorious time for the movie. If you take advantage of the situation to debut, Saito Yuki may jump into the ranks of top idols in one fell swoop.
As for whether it can be maintained in the future, the worst thing is to grind out another Zhi Shusang song~
After Hayano Riko came to her senses, she immediately agreed: "Hey, I understand, let's adjust the schedule now!"
Saito Yuki was the first idol she was responsible for promoting. At this time, Hayano Riko seemed to see the gold medal producer's brand waving to her!
Yoshimura Otomo still made a point: "Yuki-chan in the movie is silent, but as an idol, Saito Yuki has a voice. We can work hard on this point to combine the popularity of the movie with the music."
"Hey, I got it!"
Riko Hayano pulled the still dazed future idol and quickly walked out of the conference room. The silent Inada Masami next to her bowed and followed her out.
Nagayama Naoki looked at the backs of several people: "Otomo-san, Masamin-kun seems to be talking less and less."
"As a man in black behind the scenes, of course the less words the better!" Otomo Fangcun said casually, "Yamin-kun is getting closer and closer to a mature agent."
"But Otomo-san talks a lot, doesn't he?"
Yoshimura Otomo rolled his eyes: "Naoki-san, sometimes you talk a lot!"
After bickering with Yoshimura Otomo for a while in the studio, and then blackmailing Uncle Mediterranean for a meal at an outside restaurant, Nagayama Naoki drove back to Sansakurain.
Ying Tailang, who was shaking his head and waiting for his master to come home, was once again warmly cared for by his master, and the dog's head was stroked hard.
Then it quickly changed from a favorite to a biological foot warmer.
Naoki Nagayama, who was watching TV at night, was attracted by the phone ringing next to the sofa, and reached out to pick it up:
"Moses Moses, this is Yamazakura-in."
"Naoki-san" A somewhat depressed voice came from the other side of the microphone, seeming to be in a very low mood.
