394, Isn’t it good to be neighbors with Bodhisattva~
.......
After many days of hard work, the editing work of "Boys Over Flowers" has finally come to an end.
In the morning, all the video tapes were copied. In the afternoon, Nagayama Naoki and Yoto Shuichi came to the TV station building in Shinjuku again. This time, of course, it was for Party A’s father to inspect the goods~
"Naoki-san, Shuichi-san!"
Because he had called in advance, Sugiura Otae had been waiting at the door early. When Nagayama Naoki parked the car and walked into the door, he saw the two of them immediately.
“Thank you for your hard work along the way!”
Nagayama Naoki smiled heartily: "Where, the traffic is very good today, it didn't take too long."
Then he patted the briefcase in his hand and said, "Look, we have brought "Boys Over Flowers" here!"
"That's really great!" Sugiura Otaio nodded in agreement, "Mr. Takano is also waiting for you two upstairs, let's go up first!"
In the midst of greetings, Sugiura Oyasu led the two of them to the production bureau floor by taking the elevator, and took them directly into the conference room, where Nishirumi could already be seen debugging equipment.
"Nishirumi, Naoki-san and Shuichi-san are all here!" Sugiura Oyasu greeted Nishirumi, "Is the projector ready?"
"It's ok and can be played at any time!" Nishi Rumi, who was wearing a dy suit, replied briskly, and then said hello to Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Yindo, "Naoki-san, Shuichi-san, it's finally today!"
"Yes, it's finally the end!" Shuichi Yin Tang said with emotion, "When you put yourself into work seriously, time really flies as fast as an arrow."
"Ha, why are you sad about spring and autumn? Today we are here to verify the results!" Naoki Nagayama interrupted the two of them from the side and took out the video tape of "Boys Over Flowers" from the briefcase.
"Sa, let's inspect the goods!"
Nishi Rumi couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, Naoki-san's current tone is the same as Yakuza's trading tone..."
It's said to be for inspection, but in fact, both Sugiura Oyasu and Nishi Rumi came over during the editing process, and there was no problem with the early editing effects. Today's main purpose was to show it to Director Takano of the production department.
However, it is naturally impossible to watch all the episodes in a short period of time. When Minister Takano arrives, he will most likely only watch the first episode, then collect the video tape and review it slowly.
While several people were chatting, Otasu Sugiura opened the door to the conference room again and invited Minister Takano in. This gray-haired old man who was over fifty years old was very warm after seeing Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Yindo.
Say hello:
"Haha, aren't these Director Yongshan and Director Yin Tang? They are gathered together in this conference room today. It is really brilliant!"
Naturally, this person was invited to the Academy Film Awards ceremony, and he also attached great importance to their achievements.
However, in this kind of situation, the older Yintang Shuichi is more comfortable with being polite and so on: "No matter what, Minister Takano is the most respected person..."
"Director Yin Tang has accumulated a lot of experience!"
"Minister Takano is a pillar of the industry!"
“Director Nagayama is so talented!”
"Mr. Takano...refreshed?"
Several people complimented him, allowing Nagayama Naoki to fully experience a so-called business compliment between adults. In the end, it may be that Minister Takano is old, or it may be that he cannot keep up with his thinking when he is one against two.
It’s all gone:
"Okay, okay, let's take a look at the effect of "Boys Over Flowers"!"
After closing the curtains, Nishirumi quickly turned on the projector, and then the first episode of the first season of "Boys Over Flowers" began to play slowly on the TV screen...
"Yingde Noble Academy", "flower4", "Seeing injustice on Shancai Road", "Posting red paper", "Huaze heroes saving beauty"...
Absurd background, interesting plot, classic Cinderella and Prince Charming core...
Such a novel and humorous school romance drama caught the attention of Minister Takano from the first episode.
After the first episode was finished, Minister Takano took his eyes away from the screen: "Naoki-san, Shuichi-san, it's such an interesting TV series! It's been a long time since I experienced the fun of watching a TV series."
Because of his career, as the boss of the production department, when Director Takano watches a TV series, he first looks at whether it has something that can attract the audience, then looks at whether the plot background is interesting, and finally looks at the smoothness of the editing and the use of the camera.
, the acting skills of the protagonist, etc...
With such a critical attitude, most TV series are just commodities to him, and it's enough to just check them out randomly.
There are very few TV series like "Boys Over Flowers" that can attract him to watch continuously.
"Omo series, I want to continue watching the second episode! Naoki-san's performance is also very interesting~"
"Haha, if Mr. Takano wants to watch it, just keep watching. We have brought all the dramas here." Yun Tang Shuichi replied with a smile. He was praised by the director of Fuji TV's production department, and now he has a smile on his face.
"That's unnecessary!" As a minister, he naturally has self-control, "otherwise I won't be able to complete other work today~"
He said to Sugiura Oyasu and Nishi Rumi: "Sugiura, Nishi Rumi, I have watched the first episode, and I will leave the subsequent verification to you."
After saying that, he gave a few words of encouragement to Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Yontou before leaving.
Seeing Minister Takano walk out of the conference room, the atmosphere among the remaining four people became more relaxed.
Sugiura Oitai sat on the stool casually: "Naoki-san, Shuichi-san, since the minister passed the test, there should be no problems in the subsequent review."
After all, he also went to the editing room to watch it many times during the editing process. "But the review will definitely not be completed today. We will have to ask professional colleagues to check whether there are any violations..."
After talking a lot about the internal review process, the time was finally set: "We will give you the final results in about three days."
"Hey, thank you for your hard work!"
Nagayama Naoki kept all the video tapes, and was not afraid of the other party breaking the contract and embezzling them. Not to mention the good foundation for cooperation, the master tapes were still with him.
After continuing to chat with Sugiura Oyasu and Nishi Rumi about the release steps and time, Nagayama Naoki and Yoto Shuichi walked out of the Fuji TV building easily together.
"It looks like there's no problem!" Yin Tangxiuyi's face was full of relief, "It should be released soon."
"Haha, isn't Shuichi-san worried about the ratings?"
"Even Minister Takano thinks it's good, and the ratings will definitely not be a problem."
The source of the mysterious confidence is naturally Director Takano's professional vision. As the director of the production department, if he cannot judge even this point accurately, then it is impossible to secure his position.
Nagayama Naoki did not continue the discussion, but asked: "Is Shuichi-san going back to the studio?"
"Me?" Yintang Xiuyi was also stunned. He looked up at the weather and saw that it was almost time to get off work. "Why don't you go now? I want to go have a drink! Naoki-san, are you going?"
"I won't go. I have an appointment with someone for dinner today."
Nagayama Naoki decisively refused. What was the point of drinking with a middle-aged uncle? He wanted to have dinner with a young girl! How could a middle-aged uncle compare with a young girl?
"Then Xiu Yisang, you can go alone, I won't send you off!"
"Eh?"
Only then did Yintou Shuichi realize that this guy Nagayama Naoki actually wanted to abandon him?
I'm not familiar with this place in Shinjuku...well, actually it's quite a familiar place.
"Okay, Xiu Yisang, see you tomorrow!"
Nagayama Naoki walked towards the parking space while waving his hands, completely ignoring the middle-aged man who was at a loss in the cool breeze...
.......
Today happens to be the day that Akina and I made an appointment to go see a movie.
In the afterglow of the evening, Nagayama Naoki drove a convertible sports car on the road and headed towards Sansakurain in a hurry.
The originally blue sky has been dyed golden, and the white clouds have been dyed a fiery red. Under the burning clouds, the city seems to be cast in a soft light, and the nearby high-rise buildings are covered with it.
A layer of golden red, becoming as unreal as in a comic.
Nagayama Naoki needs to go back to Yamasakurain first to disguise himself before going out, and then he needs to change to an inconspicuous car. The pure black shell of the Toyota Century is good...it's not easy at night.
Recognized~
When we arrived at Sansakura-in, the sky had turned gray and night was coming.
Nagayama Naoki pushed away Taro who came up to him, and hurriedly went upstairs to change clothes, and then prepared hats, masks and other things.
Then he went downstairs, changed cars, and left, leaving a confused Ying Tailang behind, calling twice softly in the yard.
When he arrived at the apartment in Nakano Ward, Naoki Nagayama was just about to make a call from a nearby phone booth when he saw an inconspicuous Crown parked at the door of the apartment, and then the figure of Naina Nakamori got out of the car.
We just happened to meet him, but we can't go up and say hello directly at this time. When Akina called before, she made it clear that this time she was pretending to be sick to avoid the evening training session!
If your agent finds out that you are going to the movies, you will be scolded several times~
Nagayama Naoki hid in the phone booth, watching Akina bow to her agent, and then watching the car disappear at the door...
I originally wanted to wave hello directly, but Akina had already gone upstairs, so I could only call directly on the phone and leave a message, "Akina-chan, I'm here~ It's at the phone booth downstairs~"
Sure enough, not long after, I saw Akina's figure hurriedly coming out of the apartment door.
However, he has changed into a yellow-collared black and white plaid shirt, his thick hair is simply combed into a bun, and he even has a pair of round glasses on his face... He looks so much like Arale-chan!
However, in less than 5 minutes, she changed her clothes and combed her hair. As Akina approached, it was obvious that her face had been washed and put on a little makeup...
Doesn’t it take half an hour for girls to dress up, and there is no upper limit? They were already prepared to wait in the car!
"Naoki-san!" Akina ran over slightly out of breath, "I kept you waiting for a long time!"
"Ah...I didn't wait..." Naoki Nagayama looked at the girl whose face looked even smaller under the glasses, and couldn't help but ask, "Is Akina-chan shortsighted? Why are you wearing glasses?"
"
"Are these glasses? They're for decoration! My eyesight is very good!" Akina Nakamori, who had recovered, replied with a smile and adjusted the position of the glasses, "How are they? Do they look good?"
By the light of the street lamp, Nagayama Naoki looked openly at the fair cheeks of the girl in front of him, until Akina even blushed a little before he said:
"Well, after putting on the glasses, Akina's face feels smaller... and her age also feels younger, like a junior high school student."
As he spoke, he led Akina towards his car.
"Junior high school student?" Akina looked a little troubled. Is this a compliment or treating someone like a child?
After getting into the car, Nagayama Naoki asked:
"Have you had dinner Akina?"
"Not yet..." There was originally a working meal, but if you were pretending to be sick, you would naturally have no appetite.
"Then let's go eat first and then go to the movies~" Nagayama Naoki started the car and drove towards Shinjuku area, "Is there anything you want to eat Akina?"
Having known Naoki Nagayama for such a long time and having dinner with him many times, Akina Nakamori didn’t just say anything casually, but thought about it seriously:
"Hmm... As expected, I still want Western food..."
"Want to eat Western food?" Naoki Nagayama thought that Akina would prefer some Japanese food in the evening.
"I will go abroad frequently in the future...so I have to adapt to foreign food in advance...otherwise I may become acclimatized!" Nakamori Akina's reason can be said to be very unique, especially when she swears so confidently.
It's as if he really thinks so~
"Haha, let's eat Western food then~" Nagayama Naoki didn't say much, "But is Akina going abroad? Where?"
"It seems that places like the UK, Germany, and France...are shooting material for the next album..."
"So many places? Isn't that a trip to Europe?" Naoki Nagayama's voice was a little envious, "I haven't even been to Europe yet."
"However, the schedule must be very tight, and there is not much time for fun." Nakamori Akina's voice also sighed, "I go to work..." m...??m
"Well, you can always get some time~" Nagayama Naoki didn't care, he was already on a business trip. Isn't it the right thing to have some fun and sightseeing? "Speaking of which, I also plan to go abroad in a while.
Let’s have some fun.”
"Oh? Where are Naoki-san going?"
Akina became interested. Although it was unlikely that she would meet her, she might. Didn't she meet her last time in Los Angeles?
"We haven't decided yet, but I really want to visit Paris, France, and Rome, Italy." Nagayama Naoki does plan to travel abroad in May. There should be nothing urgent at hand at that time.
.
"Rome on Roman Holiday~ I want to see it too~"
Xiao Mingna expressed her longing, but with the current upward trend of idols, it would be difficult to take a vacation to play.
Nakano and Shinjuku are not far apart. After chatting all the way, the Toyota Century soon arrived at the commercial street of Shinjuku. After slowing down, we slowly looked for a suitable Western restaurant.
"Have you ever been to a Western restaurant here before, Akina?" The two of them went in different directions, looking for a restaurant that suited them on both sides of the street.
"No..." Xiao Pangcai also looked out of the car window, "Zhi Shusang doesn't have a familiar Western restaurant?"
"It's like I'm looking for delicious places to eat every day..."
I'm not a lonely foodie!
"Haha, I always feel that Naoki-san should know all about high-end restaurants in Tokyo..." Akina laughed, not knowing where her idea came from.
"Am I a map..." Nagayama Naoki complained, then his eyes lit up and he saw a strange building, "Akina-chan, do you think that building is a restaurant?"
"Eh?" The girl turned her head, "It looks like a noble house in the past..."
"I saw there were tables inside, and there were people eating Western food..." Naoki Nagayama stepped on the brakes and slowly stopped, "Besides, the environment of a Western restaurant hidden in a building like this must be very good.
"
The two looked at the lamppost at the door, which indeed had an exotic feel.
