There are already more carp streamers on the streets, and in five days it will be the traditional Boys’ Day, Children’s Day, and Dragon Boat Festival, which can also be called the Carp Festival.
In short, it is a comprehensive festival with multiple meanings, and the atmosphere of celebration is also very strong.
The thing related to Naoki Nagayama is probably eating rice dumplings.
When I was in China in my previous life, most of these traditional festivals had actually been weakened, except for the Spring Festival, which still retained some traditional customs.
On the contrary, foreign festivals are becoming more and more popular, tsk tsk tsk...
However, as an orphan and single, I don’t have many holidays to spend, and I don’t care.
Just when Nagayama Naoki was wondering whether to buy some rice dumplings, he got a call from his hometown and it was his mother Nanako.
"Naoki, are you coming back for Children's Day this year?"
"Eh? You're not a kid anymore, why do you still celebrate Children's Day?" Nagayama Naoki was surprised.
"That's not true, I'm just asking casually." Nanako may have regarded Nagayama Naoki as a child, "I made some rice dumplings at home and sent them to you. Please pay attention to the packages these days."
"Hi! Arigado~" Fortunately, there was no need to worry. Nagayama Naoki then asked: "Is Tsuruko on vacation?"
"Of course, it's spring break first, and then Golden Week. I don't know how happy this period is..." Nanako muttered, and then talked about her father's izakaya, which was even busier during the holidays.
There is only one child in the family, Nagayama Naoki, so my mother always thinks of her during festivals, and her occasional chattering is full of warmth.
This phone call lasted for half an hour. Unexpectedly, just after I put it down, another call came in.
"Moses Moses, Naoki Sang, this is Fangcun Dayou." A slightly tired voice came from the other end of the phone.
Yoshimura Otomo had just been promoted from the director of the planning department to the head of the headquarters at this time, and it was about time he was proud of his success?
"Naoki-san, are you free to come out for a drink at noon?"
For rb society, it is normal to go drinking after get off work in the evening, but it is less common at noon.
Although he was a little confused, Nagayama Naoki readily agreed.
...
At noon, in a pub in Shinjuku.
When Nagayama Naoki arrived, Yoshimura Otomo had already started drinking.
After not seeing him for a while, his Mediterranean seemed to be getting bigger. His face was full of exhaustion and loss, and he looked like a frustrated dog when he drank.
"Otomo-san, what happened? You look like you can't cheer up? Didn't you just get promoted to head of the headquarters?" Nagayama Naoki asked directly after doing so.
"Ah, Naoki-san." Fangcun Otomo didn't answer directly, "I'm sorry, I'm going out for a drink at noon."
"I'm really worried about the recent obstacles in my new business, so I'm looking for someone to have a drink with."
In fact, new business is far more than just obstacles.
Johnny & Associates gave up some resources, but they were exchanged for big brands in the Burning Department. Real opportunities to make money, such as the next record production contract, the resources of certain idols, etc., have of course been allocated in advance.
.
After it fell to Starlight Agency, it actually only had program resources from a few TV stations and platform opportunities for some idols.
Starlight Office used to be a small office specializing in photo magazines and advertising. It basically had no idol business, so the exchange of channel resources was like giving a crack in the door.
But if you want to really get into the idol business, you still have to look at yourself.
The president made an exception and promoted Yoshimura Otomo to head of the headquarters just to enable him to expand new idol business.
Some time ago, Yoshimura Otomo took the few "artist" resources at hand, namely those artists who took photos, to try to participate in TV programs, and also appeared on the screen a few times, but in the end there was no splash.
He wanted to discover new idols with potential, but found that channels such as drafts and reserve groups were still tightly controlled, and Johnny had no intention of letting go.
Starlight's idol-related business seems to be stuck in the middle of nowhere, as if it has nowhere to go.
When business is not going well, I can't talk to my artists, my former colleagues, and I can't complain to my family, so I can only talk to some friends.
It was noon, so Naoki Nagayama, who was temporarily unemployed, was free.
...
...
After listening to Yoshimura Otomo's words, Nagayama Naoki also understood him somewhat.
When people reach middle age, everything is indeed not easy.
There is no one to rely on in front of you, and you still need support behind you. You can only rely on yourself for everything.
"Otomo-san, does the office rely on you alone? As the president, don't you help with new business?" We talked while drinking sake.
"President? The president has never been in the idol business before."
After several drinks in a row, Fangcun Dayou became a little drunk.
"Other than having some connection with Dentsu, I can't help you with anything."
"Eh? Is it true that among the artists before the agency, there are really no high-quality idol talents?"
"If you had potential, you would have debuted long ago, why would you come to take photos?
None of them can sing or dance, and have no talent at all.
Apart from having an okay face and body, there is nothing else good about him." Fangcun Otomo was ruthless when he complained about his own artist.
The face and figure are okay, but how can this be called useless?
Nagayama Naoki was shocked by this statement. As long as future generations have these two advantages, the organization will dare to boast of a "once-in-a-millennium" appearance...
Do all RB idols have such high requirements?
"Arnold, now that you have a face and a body, you can't be considered useless."
"Ah? What can that be used for? If I want to see my face and figure, why don't I watch adult porn?!" Yoshimura Otomo's face turned red and he seemed a little confused.
Ah! By the way, adult porn is legal in rb!
It seems like a switch suddenly turned on!
(Nagayama Naoki’s moral habits in his previous life have always constrained his behavior. It’s been half a year since he came to RB and he hasn’t even bought an adult magazine!!!)
After understanding the reason, Nagayama Naoki will also understand why RB is dominated by girl idols.
When these idols grow up, they usually marry and retire;
If you have the conditions and ability, you can try to transform into a powerful singer and continue to be active in the singing world;
There are also some idols who have found opportunities and switched careers to the entertainment industry, filming TV series and so on;
There are also some idols who can become variety show stars...
However, the artists of Starlight Agency are not capable as girl idols. If they transform into something else, they will have nothing to do with the agency's idol business, and the agency cannot provide any assistance for the time being.
Nagayama Naoki silently complained: "The idols of this era are also very curly!
Obviously in the future, Rocket 101, idol trainees, etc., as long as they can be cute and cry miserably and participate in a reality show, they can make their debut~"
