Naoki Nagayama, who returned to Tokyo, naturally returned to his normal daily life, and started exercising with Yotaro, who had gained a lot of weight, the next day.
As the weather gets hotter and hotter, after jogging around in the morning, everyone is dripping with sweat. Of course, the big dog is also panting with his tongue hanging out.
However, as long as you take a shower, you will feel refreshed, and you can go to the studio in high spirits to play with Otomo Homura and Shuichi Yontou~
Bah! That’s inspection work!
But this morning, Naoki Nagayama was tasting the slices of bread he had baked, and casually flipping through the magazine that had just been delivered.
Just after flipping through a book, his eyes suddenly widened because there was a photo of a semi-nude loli on the cover of the magazine called "Focus"!
To be precise, it was a photo of a half-naked lolita and her boyfriend having a cigarette in bed!
The person being photographed is called Tomoko Takabe. She is a member of the super popular girl group "Warabe" in Japan. She is a girl idol known for her innocence and childishness.
"This is something big!" Naoki Nagayama didn't even bother to continue eating. This is a legendary idol disqualification event!
Nagayama Naoki turned to the specific article, and then saw the somewhat familiar reporter's name - Matsuzawa Shinnosuke.
"Isn't this guy a reporter from "Weekly Bunshun"? Why did he go to "Focus" again?"
The three of them stuffed the remaining slices of bread into their mouths, and Naoki Nagayama drove his sports car out directly. Although it was not his main business, he ran a management agency and had two or three idol artists under his name.
...
The sunshine in early summer is bright and dazzling. It hits the glass curtain walls of high-rise buildings and breaks into seven-color dazzling colors. It looks unique and beautiful from a distance. However, if you always stay among high-rise buildings, it is easy to be distracted by such mottled colors.
The light made me dizzy.
Fortunately, the dull exterior walls of the studio prevented this impact from reaching Naoki Nagayama's eyes.
After entering the studio with the magazine, Nagayama Naoki still greeted the employees with a smile on his face, showing the approachability of the young boss.
Because her work station was close to the office, Riko Hayano, who was already very secretary-savvy, answered smoothly, and even stopped Naoki Nagayama when he was about to leave,
"Naoki-san, Korei-chan came to see you before~"
? Kitamura Kōrei came to see me? Nagayama Naoki probably knew what happened: "Hi, I understand, thank you~"
After opening the office door, Yoshimura Otomo was reviewing some documents. He was very surprised when he saw Nagayama Naoki:
"Naoki-san, why are you here today?"
Nagayama Naoki handed the magazine in his hand to Mediterranean's agent: "I saw a report that I was a little concerned about, so I brought it to Otomo-san to have a look. It's about this Tomoko Takabe matter."
"Reports you care about?"
Yoshimura Otomo probably hadn't read the report yet, so he reached out to take it and started browsing it immediately, only to find that it was just a piece of breaking news that often appeared in the entertainment industry, although the fact that he was photographed half-naked smoking in bed was indeed very shocking.
Such private photos can actually be taken. It’s so unselfconscious of being a famous person...
Could it be that the paparazzi taking the photo is a secret agent?
Yoshimura Otomo saw that Nagayama Naoki was so concerned about this report, and the first thought in his mind was, "Is Takabe Tomoko having an affair with Nagayama Naoki?"
However, as an agent with high emotional intelligence, he adopted a roundabout way of asking: "Does Naoki-san care? Is Tomoko Takabe your friend?"
"No, I only know her from the report, and I have never met her in person." Nagayama Naoki explained simply, "It's mainly the phenomenon represented by this report that makes me a little concerned."
"What phenomenon does it represent?" Yoshimura Otomo couldn't understand, "Isn't this something that often happens in the entertainment industry? Afterwards, Tomoko Takabe issued an apology and retired... Has it always been like this?"
"Always..." Nagayama Naoki curled his lips, "This time it's a little different."
"Otomo-san, have you ever counted how many idols have debuted since "A Star! Is Born!"?"
Yoshimura Otomo was even more confused: "This...should be a lot."
"There is already a proverb in Tokyo: 'Throwing a stone from the streets of Ginza will hit at least two idols.' People are already a little tired of the idols..." Naoki Nagayama said, "It originally represented
The idol of people's best wishes is like a beautiful but slender glass balloon that can be shattered with just a hammer..."
Yoshimura Otomo became more and more confused: "Naoki-san, what do you want to explain? Stop being the Riddler!"
Naoki Nagayama then looked at Yoshimura Otomo: "Idols are disqualified! The idol industry is about to usher in a storm."
"Naoki-san is too alarmist!" Yoshimura Otomo maintained a skeptical attitude, "It's just an ordinary scandal."
Naoki Nagayama didn't say much. When variety shows like Twilight Meow Meow come out in the future, the status of idols will become even lower. Female idols who originally had at least one skill will become completely useless.
Idol..??m
"The three Maoyan sisters should have nothing to do with each other. They are not following the path of innocent idols." Naoki Nagayama continued, "In short... we must pay close attention to Junko Into and Yuki Saito during this period, and we must not let them go.
They also broke similar scandals."
It suddenly occurred to me that Yuki Saito in later generations also seems to be an idol full of emotions: "Especially Yuki-chan, who entered the entertainment industry at such a young age, can easily be led astray."
"Uh...Hi!"
Although I don’t know why Nagayama Naoki takes this matter so seriously, Yoshimura Otomo has developed a good habit of listening to Naoki in everything.
After explaining this matter, Nagayama Naoki felt like he had put down a burden and looked around:
"By the way, isn't Shuichi-san here?"
"He is still on the set today." Yoshimura Otomo read the documents again, ""Cat Eye Sisters" has been released to its fourth episode. More and more fans have given their opinions to the crew, and he is busy late every day.
"
"Ah, is that so? Shuichi-san is working too hard~" He scratched his head in embarrassment. After all, his subordinates were working extremely hard, but as the boss, he was just doing nothing every day. "You have to pay attention to the balance between work and rest.
~”
After a dry sentence or two, Nagayama Naoki quickly made an excuse: "Ah, just now Kitamura Kōrei said that he wanted to see me if he had something to do... Otomo-san, I'll go there first~"
Seeing his boss's figure hidden by the door, Yoshimura Otomo shook his head, Nagayama Naoki was good at everything, but he just didn't inherit Showa's spirit of hard work!
Then he picked up the magazine on the table and took a look at it: "Is there really going to be a big change..."
Tomoko Takabe on the cover looks relaxed, lazy, mature and charming, but has nothing to do with her natural and innocent image.
...
Nagayama Naoki knocked on the door of the finance room and found Mitsuru Kitamura.
"Guang Liansang, have the funds arrived?"
"Ah, yes Naoki-san."
Mitsure Kitamura handed over a report, which was the account details of Naoki Nagayama's personal studio. "The current balance in the account is 4.26 billion yen."
Kitamura Mitsurei's voice was also a little excited. This amount is already more than the book funds of some medium-sized companies.
Nagayama Naoki looked at a series of numbers, but his mind was not disturbed: "So much? I remember that there was still 2 million US dollars left in the United States. When did there be so much more money."
"Um..." Kitamura Kōrei was a little speechless. Who doesn't care about his own income? "Naoki-san, there are actually several main sources of income, the income from discotheques, the income from movies, the share of records, and so on.
There is a share of the novel..."
"These are the monthly income...and Zhishu-san doesn't spend much, so everything is saved."
?
Not spending much?
Nagayama Naoki was clicked by these words, indeed!
Other rich people with similar assets to him must be spending money like water every day, squandering money like water, top clubs, high-end luxury goods, personal chefs and servants... It's like he usually goes home to buy food and cook...
...
"Well...it does look like I should spend a little more..."
By the way, who can tell me how rich people spend their money? Waiting online...
...
When Naoki Nagayama had a headache and didn't know how to spend his money, Etsuro Kikuchi, the former public relations director of the burning agency and now the office director, looked gloomy in the office.
Ever since he was defeated by Masato Oda, the head of the planning department, his position has been gradually squeezed out to the sinecure position of office director, and he also understands that the president, Ikuo Subo, is just using his time to let him go.
The former head of the planning department, Masahiro Oda, has two idols of the Wildcats under his command, the cute persona Fukuhara Ayano and the singing persona Nonaka Saka.
Since the two of them left the Wildcats, their idol careers have not developed very well, and they are still in a tepid state. The current head of the group, Masato Oda, has long wanted to give up on them.
However, as "Maoyan Sisters" becomes more and more popular, the current popularity of Maoyan Sisters has also become more and more popular, and the former Wild Cat Group is also often mentioned.
"Can a dead cat be resurrected?"
Kikuchi Etsurou muttered to himself while looking at the report. His hair, which was originally gray, turned completely white in less than a year, and his whole person was also lifeless. However, after seeing the wild cats become angry again, his eyes seemed to be filled with joy again.
A touch of brilliance,
"Even if it survives, it will still be my cat!"
He stood up, pushed open the office door, and slowly walked to another office next to him. After opening the door, he saw on the office desk that it was the director of the media business department, Masato Arai.
"Arai!"
Seeing his former down-to-earth old boss coming over, Masato Arai did not accept the superiors and suppress the inferiors like some other villains. Instead, he said very humbly: "Kikuchi-san, why are you here... Sit down quickly."
.”
Then he diligently poured tea for him.
"Arai, it turns out that you haven't changed at all. You are still so considerate~"
Etsuro Kikuchi lamented that his confidant could actually get the position of new head of the media business department by his own ability after his downfall. This thoughtful thought played a big role.
"It's all cultivated by Kikuchi-san."
Masato Arai smiled. If it hadn't been for Etsuro Kikuchi's training and his unswerving support in the past two years, how could this media business department, which was separated from the public relations department, have his turn? So he still feels grateful to his old boss.
,
"Why did Kikuchi-san come here today? Did something happen?"
"Can't I come over and see you if I have nothing to do?" Kikuchi Etsurou smiled slightly, and was rewarded with the same smile from Arai Masato. They are both thousand-year-old foxes, but one is bigger and the other is smaller.
"Haha, there is indeed one thing."
Kikuchi Etsuro took out the newspaper, pointed at the photo and said, "Have you seen "The Three Cat Eye Sisters"?"
"Hey, I've paid attention to it." Of course, agencies in the entertainment industry pay attention to these, "What's wrong?"
"These three are members of the Wild Cats!" Etsurou Kikuchi said, "They are our former idols."
"Yes, they terminated their contract with us..." Masato Arai thought, it was you who asked me to notify them to retire in the first place.
"However, the name of the Wildcats still belongs to me, right?"
The name of this girl group is indeed still under the name of Burning Agency, but it is just an empty name. At this time, Kikuchi Etsuro specifically mentioned it, what does it mean?
"Kikuchi-san...you?"
"Arai-san, what do you think about taking this opportunity to resurrect the Wild Cats?" Kikuchi Etsurou whispered.
"How can this be!"
Masato Arai immediately replied, "Are you kidding me? It's just when the momentum is rising, how can we return to this old group?"
"How is it impossible! Don't we still have two members?" Etsurou Kikuchi became excited, "As long as those three come back!"
As long as the Wildcats are resurrected, then I will have the confidence to be in the idol industry again. Even if I leave Burning Agency and open my own agency in the future, I will have a good career.
"They are already artists from other agencies!" Masato Arai reminded.
"Then dig them over!" Kikuchi Etsurou said, "We are a burning agency! They are just an idol group that has just become popular."
What would happen if we did something we had done once before? But Etsuro Kikuchi was the head of the public relations department before, and now he is just the office director.
"Kikuchi-san, this is different from before..."
Masato Arai sighed and looked at the increasingly excited old boss in front of him.
"Although GG Agency is not a big agency, it already has two top-notch female idols and a male idol singer with a clear upward trend. If you want to poach people from him, it will be very costly...
"
It is not uncommon for artists to be poached from other agencies. Akina Nakamori was almost poached from Kenyin, let alone the burning matter.
"But it's not like there's no chance, right?!" Kikuchi Etsurou said, "It's not like poaching those two first-class idols, it's just these three Maoyan sisters. They only have this one drama that's a bit popular!"
"But...the other two members of the Wild Cat Group are also under the command of Shoto Oda..."
It's not impossible for Burning Agency to recruit people, but Masato Arai will definitely have to use his own network resources to help. But the other two members are not under Etsurou Kikuchi either?
How could Kikuchi Etsurou think that the Wildcats must belong to him?
"Arai, I will deal with Oda Masato! I will also go to the president to intercede." Kikuchi Etsuro stared at Arai Masato. As an old man who has followed the president for decades, he still has some affection, otherwise he would not
I will always be at the office.
"Help me, this may be my life-saving straw! I fell down on the wildcat group, I must get up from there this time!"
"But....."
"Arai! You owe me!" Etsurou Kikuchi looked a little ferocious.
Thinking that Etsurou Kikuchi had introduced almost all the resources to him in the past two years, Masato Arai sighed:
"Kikuchi-san, I will convince the firm to consider poaching people, but whether they are willing to come back and whether GG Firm will let them go are all questions!"
"Hahaha, Arai! We are a burning agency! They will definitely agree!"
Nearly half of Japan's artists are under the control of the Burning Department. How could the GG Agency, whose name I have never heard of, disagree?
Besides, when the Wild Cat Group was poached last time, didn’t another agency also agree?
