After walking out of Kadokawa's headquarters, Yoshimura Otomo couldn't help but say:
"Naoki-san, how did you act so calm in front of Haruki-san? When your expression changed just now, I was extremely nervous."
In fact, this is just about being strong without desire. Nagayama Naoki has the greatest confidence and knows that even if he does not rely on Kadokawa's power, there will not be too big a problem, so he can treat him as an equal.
However, Nagayama Naoki thought for a while whether to answer by inserting bids to sell first or by digging into bags, and finally combined his memories of the future era and said:
"Probably, I think he looks like a withered bone in a grave!"
"?!" Yoshimura Otomo was really shocked by Nagayama Naoki's words, "Naoki-san is really extraordinary..."
Nagayama Naoki smiled, walked to the parking lot, and asked while looking for the car: "What to do next?"
"Tomorrow is the first official day of work. There will be a New Year's party. Naoki-san, would you like to say a few words?"
It was also the first time for Fangcun Otomo to host. Last year, there were not many people, so it was just to encourage people. But this year, there are almost a hundred people, so it must be more grand.
"Forget it...it's okay if you want me to tell a joke~"
Nagayama Naoki didn't want to take on this kind of job. It was a demanding and thankless job. When he was in the audience, he heard the leader coming up to say a few words, and then he kept talking for an hour, and the employees below were all excited.
I cursed in my heart!
Now that he has become the boss, why should he continue to do what he does even though he knows he is hated by others?
What is this, a brave man turning into a dragon?!
Yoshimura Otomo didn't give much advice. After starting the car, he said to Naoki Nagayama: "Then let's go to Fuji TV next. In addition to visiting, we also want to communicate with Otaisan about the operation of the Kitty Club."
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Nagayama Naoki has not paid attention to the operation of the Kitty Club for a long time.
"It's not a big problem." Yoshimura Otomo said while driving, "When the Kitty Club promotes or announces, sometimes it will bring Fukuhara Ayano and Nonaka Saka, and they still use the names of the old men of the Wild Cat Club, but they don't
Bring the three Maoyan sisters."
"oh?"
Yoshimura Otomo continued: "In fact, in the recent "Twilight Meow", the appearance frequency of the three Maoyan sisters has also dropped a lot."
Nagayama Naoki understood. It seemed that either Kikuchi Etsurou was more convenient for the other two members of the Wild Cat Group, or Akimoto Yasushi had reduced the appearance time of the three Cat Eye sisters during the planning.
All in all...it's not a big deal~it's a bit disgusting~
"Akimoto Yasushi shouldn't be such a petty person?" Nagayama Naoki was a little surprised, "Besides, I have a pretty good relationship with him, right?"
Nagayama Naoki had no idea that Akimoto Yasushi had regarded him as the person he must surpass in his life!
........
After driving on a smooth road for more than half an hour, the two arrived at the Fuji TV headquarters building in Shinjuku.
Even if it is a holiday, as a 24-hour non-stop TV station, more than half of the people are still working.
Nagayama Naoki and Yoshimura Otomo walked in with gifts, and under the leadership of the front desk lady, they came to Takano Ikki's office on the floor of the Fuji TV Production Bureau.
"Mr. Takano, happy New Year!" Otomo Yoshimura stepped forward to say hello, followed closely by Naoki Nagayama.
"Mr. Yoshimura, Naoki-san, happy new year~" Since Otomo Yoshimura was visiting the company, he naturally treated him as a person of title, but for Nagayama Naoki, he was not so polite.
Minister Takano greeted him with a smile: "Are you going back to celebrate the New Year this year?"
Fangcun Otomo said: "Isn't there an accident at the end of this year~ So I have been busy and haven't gone back."
"I spent New Year's Eve at NHK," Naoki Nagayama continued, "but I went back on New Year's Day."
"Hahaha, the "Love Letter" at the end of the year really gave everyone a surprise." Minister Takano asked the two of them to sit down, and an assistant made tea for everyone, "But the previous "Midnight Ring" was really shocking.
~”
"Hahaha, surprise and joy, the end of the year is exciting~" Yoshimura Otomo joked with a smile.
"Yes, yes~" Minister Takano nodded, "Thanks to Naoki-san, by the end of the year, the ratings of our Fuji TV programs will be significantly higher than those of other TV stations!"
"Especially Naoki-san's participation in "All Night Fuji" and "It's Okay to Laugh." Takano Kazuki must have been praised by higher-ups at the end of the year, otherwise he wouldn't be so happy, "Naoki-san's phrase 'I love you'
'Ten thousand years' has also been mentioned repeatedly. If there is an annual buzzword selection, then this sentence will definitely be selected!"
Nagayama Naoki suddenly had an idea: "Huh? Isn't there?"
"Of course not..." Takano Kazuki was sure.
Seeing Nagayama Naoki's thinking expression, Takano Kazuki was very puzzled, "Naoki-san, what's wrong?"
"Ha...I suddenly thought of an idea." Nagayama Naoki looked at Takano Kazuki, "Maybe it can be used as one of the programs in cooperation with Fuji TV."
"???" Takano Ikki was confused by Nagayama Naoki's jumping thoughts. He was obviously just talking and laughing.
Nagayama Naoki said a little excitedly: "Didn't Minister Takano say there is no annual buzzword selection? I imagined such a program."
"On other Fuji TV programs, we will collect new buzzwords from the public this year, and then interview the sources of the buzzwords. They will be recorded and broadcast in the program, allowing the audience to vote for the buzzword that best represents this year, or the most representative one.
The trending buzzwords...let’s call it the "New Buzzword Awards"!"
Listening to Naoki Nagayama's words, Ikki Takano felt that this operation seemed feasible, and as the founder, he would naturally be more authoritative than other buzzword selections.
If it can gain public recognition after a few sessions, it is likely to evolve into a selection with national participation.
But after thinking about it for a while, Minister Takano was still a little worried: "But...Naoki-san, last year has passed~"
"Haha, Director Takano, this is just a temporary idea, using the year-end selection as the starting point." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Am I going to produce a program that only happens once a year as a collaborative project?"
"What does Naoki-san mean?"
"People's memories are short, and the information in the entertainment industry changes so quickly. It is impossible for most of them to accurately recall the buzzwords, popular events, and hot topics at the beginning of the year at the end of the year." Naoki Nagayama clarified himself
Thoughts, he talked eloquently, "So I think it is feasible to hold the selection once a month."
"At the end of the year, the twelve months of selection results will be taken out for the final selection to form the buzzword of the year."
Japan actually has the "Newspeak Buzzword Awards" event, which seems to have started very early and will have a certain influence until 2023. This is definitely a long-lived program.
What's more, there are similar annual Chinese character selections, etc., which will create a wave of enthusiasm when they are selected.
After hearing what Naoki Nagayama said, Takano Kazuki became more and more excited. He understood that such a program, if done well, would even attract the attention of the government:
"Naoki-san, this is indeed a good idea!"
"Since Minister Takano also thinks it's good, let's wait until we go back and improve it before submitting the program plan." Nagayama Naoki suggested to Takano Ikki.
"Hey, Naoki-san is in trouble!"
Takano Kazuki feels that Shuyou Movies is a gift sent to him by God. It has only been more than two years since he contacted the TV station, and it has brought many TV series with high ratings and popular variety shows to the TV station...
So the conversation that followed was full of harmonious atmosphere, with smiles on both sides' faces.
.......
When Nagayama Naoki and Yoshimura Otomo walked towards the preparation team of "Twilight Meow Meow", Yoshimura Otomo couldn't help but ask:
"Naoki-san, did you really come up with this show on the spur of the moment?"
"..." Nagayama Naoki shrugged, "Otomo-san, didn't you figure it out by looking at me?"
"But... isn't that too exaggerated?" Otomo Yoshimura still couldn't believe it, "Naoki-san, isn't your brain different from mine?"
"..."
Nagayama Naoki couldn't answer, but considering the memories that pop up from time to time, maybe his brain is really weird!
It is said that Einstein's brain had 73% more glial cells than other people, so his... might be several times that of other people!
"However, Naoki-san just told me all his ideas. Aren't you worried that your ideas will be taken over by Minister Takano?" When going downstairs, Yoshimura Otomo asked again worriedly.
"Haha, of course I'm not worried, because that idea still has flaws." Nagayama Naoki said, "In fact, if you want similar selections to generate authority, it's not enough to rely on TV stations alone! If Fuji TV wants to rely on this to start
If the program uses the routine of an entertainment talent show, it may end up with nothing! Not only will it lose its authority, it will also be copied by other TV stations."
"??Are there any flaws?"
"Yes, if you want this kind of selection to be successful, the most important thing is to find an organization that everyone agrees with and has an official or religious background to endorse it, rather than an organization in the entertainment industry."
Nagayama Naoki said: "For example, the Kanji Ability Test Association, the Free National Society, etc."
"This..." Fangcun Dayou was a little surprised.
"Do you think this kind of organization is not as famous as Fuji TV?"
"Hi~"
"Haha, it's actually so weird. If it's hosted by a TV station, then it's an entertainment event." Naoki Nagayama said, "If it's hosted by them, it's a national act~"
"So...how do we get this kind of agency involved?"
Nagayama Naoki glanced sideways at Yoshimura Otomo: "Otomo-san, you have regressed~ How do you let a non-profit organization hold an event? Of course it is sponsorship!"
"..." Yoshimura Otomo patted his forehead, feeling that he was really dizzy~
........
The preparation office of "Dusk Meow" is still bustling with people, and almost all the planners and screenwriters are working overtime here.
After all, the frequency of recording every day means that people here have to write new scripts and record them every day.
Before knocking on the door, Nagayama Naoki suddenly paused:
"Otomo-san, if you need to communicate with Otasu Sugiura later, leave it to me directly~"
Fangcun Otomo was a little surprised: "Naoki-san, are you sure? You don't even know the specific situation..."
"Well, I probably know it~"
Nagayama Naoki continued to knock on the office door.
"Naoki-san! Otomo-san" Otasu Sugiura saw the two people coming, with surprise on his face, "Why are you here~"
"Happy New Year, Taisang~" Nagayama Naoki sent a gift, "We are here to visit."
"Hahaha, Happy New Year~" Sugiura Otai quickly asked the two of them to sit down, "Naoki-san is really shocking this year!"
It has been said by many people that Nagayama Naoki has already felt a little numb, but he also knows that such praise will definitely not be eliminated in the first month of the year.
"It's just a coincidence~ I didn't expect the first snow this year would fall at the end of the year."
"That's why "Love Letter" itself is of excellent quality~"
"...."
Nagayama Naoki and Sugiura Oitai chatted casually for a while, and then they talked about "Twilight Meow Meow":
"Huh? Why didn't you see Nishirumi-san?"
"She and Yasushi Akimoto went out to record~"
"Ah, "Twilight Meow" at the beginning of the year, how was it? Is the show good?" Nagayama Naoki asked, "Has the ratings dropped?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Under the impact of various programs at the end of the year, there will naturally be some fluctuations, but it is okay." Sugiura Oitai is still very calm, "For now, I
It feels like the show has entered a plateau."
"A stable period~" Nagayama Naoki seemed to have something to say, but stopped~
Sugiura Otasu naturally noticed: "Naoki-san, don't you think it should be right?"
"I'm a little worried. The program "Twilight Meow" is originally designed to attract viewers with novelty... Once it enters a stable period, the appeal of the program will be greatly reduced." Naoki Nagayama said.
Otasu Sugiura frowned. As a program producer, he was also very concerned about this: "However, our planners and screenwriters have tried their best, and every episode of the program has new ideas."
"This is a superficial idea, and it does not change the entire process of the program." Naoki Nagayama said, "Maybe other programs can last for a year and a half, but the program of "Dusk Meow Meow" is broadcast every day.
Over time, all creativity will be consumed.”
"This..." Sugiura Oyasu knew that Naoki Nagayama was the founder of the program and valued his judgment very much, "Naoki-san, is there any good idea?"
"What a great idea...how could it suddenly happen?" Nagayama Naoki smiled, "But wasn't there already a plan in place when planning the show?"
"Naoki-san is referring to...update and replacement?"
"Yes, the members of the Kitten Club, have you renewed your membership?" Naoki Nagayama asked.
"One round?" Otae Sugiura exclaimed, "Naoki-san, the Kitten Club is at its most popular right now, how can we replace it? The audience will not agree!"
"Haha, living water doesn't rot." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "It's not a one-time replacement."
"Of course, you can also use the term graduation, solo career, etc. to move towards better things~" Naoki Nagayama pointed out, "You can't always replace the least popular one, but also the most popular one... You can't let
One of them has blocked the light of the rest of the Kitty Club."
"What the show should be looking for is a kitty club group that always wins."
Otasu Sugiura began to think deeply, while Otomo Yoshimura next to him was drinking the hot tea that was served, and was still thinking about when Nagayama Naoki would bring up the matter of the Wild Cat Group.
"So, Naoki-san, how do you decide whether a member will leave? Do you just rely on the popularity of fans?"
"In addition to fans, of course we need judgment from other dimensions." Nagayama Naoki said, "The debut of the current Kitty Club members should be decided by Akimoto Yasushi and you, right?"
"...Hi." As the person in charge of the program, he naturally has the greatest power.
"My suggestion is to adopt a refereeing system that excludes third parties, similar to the judging panel in a court." Naoki Nagayama said that there will be many such referees in future variety shows.
"But, how does the referee determine whether it is possible to fly solo or whether it needs to be withdrawn?" Sugiura Oyasu asked.
"In this regard...just use senior idols, for example, use Wildcat Group at the beginning. If there are channels later, you can also use Pindy or other...
On the one hand, they do have more experience, which gives them a foundation in the seniority-based entertainment industry; on the other hand, they can also draw on the popularity of these old groups to attract old fans."
Sugiura Oyasu began to think about the pros and cons.
However, Nagayama Naoki had no intention of continuing to wait for him: "Da Taisang, I just said casually, you can decide for yourself whether it is really feasible. The main purpose of coming today is to visit. In the coming year, we may have more cooperation.
.”
"Oh?" Sugiura Da Tai suppressed his thoughts and prepared to chat with Akimoto Yasu later, "What kind of cooperation?"
"Hahaha, Buddha said: It can't be said." Naoki Nagayama deliberately made it mysterious, "It's just an idea at the moment. I'll talk to Taisang after the specific plan comes out."
Sugiura Oitai obviously believed it: "Then I'll wait for Naoki-san~"
After continuing to chat about home affairs for a while, Naoki Nagayama and Otomo Yoshimura took their leave.
After returning to the car, Yoshimura Otomo asked: "Naoki-san, can this way the Wildcats continue to be on camera? What if they are replaced again later..."
Naoki Nagayama shook his head: "The Kitten Club is developing too fast... faster than I thought."
"I originally expected them to be able to survive for at least two years, but now it looks like they will be able to survive until the end of the year."
Yoshimura Otomo was surprised: "What? "Twilight Meow Meow" is one of the most popular programs now!"
Only Nagayama Naoki knows that compared with the previous "Twilight Meow", there is no process of starting from scratch and improving step by step, thus directly obtaining the most perfect version of the program. Naturally, the debut is the peak.
And this peak period is not very long...
"In short, there is a high probability that the future of the Wildcats will not be on this show, so we need to make plans early~"
Now that the names of the Wildcats have been exchanged, it is Naoki Nagayama's idea to create an ever-victorious girl group like Girls' Generation.
Fangcun Otomo drove the car, feeling a little heavy: "Well, I will consider it~"
...........
At the beginning of the new year, I accompanied Otomo Yoshimura on visits, which gave Naoki Nagayama a little taste of the busyness.
After returning to Sansakura-in, I originally thought about giving Ge You a good rest, but unexpectedly, I saw the message light prompt again.
"Why is there someone again~"
After pressing the play button, a familiar man's voice came out:
"Moses Moses, Naoki Sang, this is the primary school hall~ I wish you a happy new year and all the best~"
"Naoki-san, if you have time tomorrow, Shogakukan hopes to come and visit and communicate about the signing event. I hope to get your reply ~ above ~"
"..."
Naoki Nagayama patted his head and said, "The autograph session is about to begin! You actually forgot such a troublesome thing!"
We had communicated with each other a few years ago, and a book signing event similar to a forum was held at the Faculty of Literature of Keio University... In short, there were various exchanges and other things...
It would be very ugly if students asked me questions!
