556, You actually turned my first love into a movie?!
...
Nagayama Naoki and others had a heated exchange with President Hanamihe in the conference room for a long time before they were able to escape.
"Naoki-san, do you want to go have a drink together tonight?" President Hanami invited with a smile, "Shuichi-san and Otomo-san?"
If it were a young and beautiful lady, Naoki Nagayama would have accepted it, but if it were a middle-aged uncle...
"Private Marseille~ I have other things to do today. Maybe next time~"
Yoshimura Otomo and Itou Shuichi also said that it was okay this time, and next time they would invite President Hanami to drink wine. When they went out, they were still chatting about when and where...
Several old men were smiling like nothing, making Nagayama Naoki a little embarrassed to walk with them.
When he was about to go to the elevator, Nagayama Naoki saw Akina's manager Akiko Fusanoori standing in the corridor, and he looked over while smoking a cigarette.
After finding an excuse to leave, Naoki Nagayama walked to the side of Akiyuki Fusunori: "Fusunori-san is actually here? Why didn't I see you when I came here before?"
"Akina-chan is here to change her singing uniforms, so we're back."
At this moment, Akiko Fusa looked a little disgusted at Naoki Nagayama and had no intention of continuing the conversation. "Akina-chan is in the dressing room. Do you want to meet Naoki-san?"
"Eh? Is that okay?"
Although they met quite frequently, lovers in love naturally want to spend more time together. Naoki Nagayama happily walked towards the clothing room.
Knocking on the door of the clothing room, as soon as I entered, I saw rows of clothes on hangers, occupying half of the room.
In the middle is a relatively large workbench with sewing machines and other equipment needed for making clothing. Materials of different textures are also lined up beside it.
Akina Nakamori was talking to stylist Kuniko Higashino next to the sewing machine.
"Mingna~"
Nagayama Naoki called out, and saw the girl who had her head lowered looking over, with a bright smile on her face.
"Naoki-san!" Akina quickly walked to Naoki Nagayama's side, "Is the meeting with the president over?"
"Yeah..." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "The topic of discussion is also related to Akina..."
"Nani?" Akina was a little curious and pulled Nagayama Naoki's sleeve, "Is it related to me?"
"As to whether Akina wants to compete for the Best Newcomer Award in the Film Industry." Nagayama Naoki nodded, "President Hanami should communicate with you later. Next month will be the selection of the Blue Ribbon and Film Academy Awards."
"Eh~~~These are great awards."
While the two were talking, stylist Kuniko Higashino, who was working on the sewing machine, raised her head.
"Mingcai-chan, the lace to be added has been completed."
"Ah...let me take a look." Akina then realized that there were other people in the clothing room (Ueda Maki: Am I not considered a person?), so she quickly walked to her side and picked up the singing clothes to put on herself.
After comparing, "It really looks a lot better... Naoki-san, what do you think?"
Nagayama Naoki looked at the pure white gauze dress that Akina wore on her body and nodded: "It has that cool feeling, which is very suitable for "Snow Flower"."
But Akina continued to look at it, and seemed to want to add something, so she started looking among a pile of ingredients.
Naoki Nagayama watched everything in the clothing room: "Akina, are all the clothes here designed by you?"
Akina on the other side said a few words to the stylist, then ran over again, like a child showing off her treasure: "Yes, the hangers here are all the singing clothes we designed and made ourselves."
"And some of the clothes here are bought in boutiques, and some are bought in strange shops... Hahaha~"
Nakamori Akina enthusiastically explained the origins of the clothes in the room. Anyway, when she went shopping, she would buy them as long as she found them novel.
"It looks just like Burberry's design workshop~" Naoki Nagayama recalled that when he went to Burberry to talk about endorsements, the design workshop he saw was also full of all kinds of clothing, hanging in rows waiting to be designed.
Teachers choose.
"In a few years, this house won't be able to fit in anymore, right?"
"Well...it shouldn't be that exaggerated~" Akina seemed a little embarrassed, "But they are very good clothes...I don't want to throw them away."
"Hahaha, how about Akina open a design studio by herself, and then these can be used as materials..." Naoki Nagayama laughed next to him, "Rent a big warehouse and collect all these costumes.
Get up~"
"It's not that easy~"
The two of them were chatting and laughing here, completely ignoring that the stylist Kuniko Higashino next to them was still working hard to modify their singing clothes.
"Ah, by the way. Naoki-san, how is the writing of "Tomorrow's Me and Yesterday's You" written?" Nakamori Akina asked.
Even Ueda Maki next to her looked over expectantly... She was on a first-come-first-served basis and was always ready to help her idol get things, so she naturally looked over too~
"..." Nagayama Naoki was helpless, "Of course I haven't finished writing yet... How could it be so fast~"
"Then... the heroine Fuju Aimi told the hero Takayama Minami about the plot of the notebook, it has been written~" Nakamori Akina blinked her big eyes and looked over, "I'm almost losing sleep~"
"...That part is naturally written~" Nagayama Naoki shrugged, "But it's all at home, and I didn't take it with me... Should I tell you...
..”
"No, no, no...it won't feel like reading a novel anymore!" Akina hesitated before letting go, "Let's wait and read it someday~"
After chatting with Akina for a while in Kenyin's clothing room, the two had to separate because Akina had a show to attend, and Naoki Nagayama... Otomo Yoshimura and Shuichi Itou were still downstairs.
Waiting for him next~
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After getting in the car, Yoshimura Otomo asked:
"Naoki-san...will you go to the company next or go back to writing novels?"
"Well... forget it, we're all out now, so I won't go back yet~" You can write code anytime, "Let's go back to the company again. I saved an entry for the "Annual Popular Word Award" before.
As for the program plan, we will try to finalize it today."
Itou Shuichi and Yoshimura Otomo looked at each other, such a hard-working Nagayama Naoki is really rare!
.......
In the preparation team of Fuji TV's "Twilight Meow Meow", Yasushi Akimoto, who has been on location, and Oyasu Sugiura are watching the weekend program preview.
"Da Taisang, how are you? There should be no problem, right?"
Perhaps because he was busy throughout the New Year, Akimoto Yasushi's originally chubby cheeks actually lost some weight, and he looked much more energetic.
"We specially planned a session at the temple fair."
"Well, it's really lively... there are a lot of people..." Otasu Sugiura nodded and praised, "No problem, that's it for this week~"
"Hi!" Akimoto Yasushi felt relieved, took down the videotape, and was about to go to the director's studio to make final preparations.
"Wait a minute, Akimoto-san." Otasu Sugiura suddenly stopped him.
"?What's wrong?" Qiu Yuanyasu was a little confused.
"Akimoto-san...the ratings of these episodes of "Dusk Meow Meow" have not picked up..."
Yasushi Akimoto said immediately: "This is because of the Chinese New Year. Many year-end planning programs occupy the audience's attention, and everyone is on vacation..."
Sugiura Otai quickly interrupted: "Hey, hey~ I know all this."
"However, Akimoto-san, our program has indeed reached a bottleneck." Otasu Sugiura patted him on the shoulder, "This is a fact!"
"...This..." Yasushi Akimoto was still a little unimpressed. After all, with a ratings of nearly 30%, it was already a very good program.
"The secret of "Twilight Meow" lies in novelty and change...but the format of our program has been somewhat fixed." Sugiura Oyasu said, "I talked with Naoki Nagayama and felt that it was time to change it.
Just a moment."
"Naoki-san?" Yasushi Akimoto felt a little weird when he heard this name.
"Well, we talked about it when we came to visit for the New Year." Sugiura Oyasu said, "Our current selection model for "Dusk Mew" is only Akimoto-san and I, and our judging perspectives have converged...
There should be a little more variety in terms of judging.”
Sugiura Oyasu and Akimoto Yasushi popularized the so-called mentor system, guest judges, resurrection competitions, etc. These were all new terms they heard when chatting with Nagayama Naoki. After thinking about it, Sugiura Oyasu combined them in
Inside the new changes in "Dusk Meow".
"For the first issue, we can use the Wildcats as guests. After all, they have always been the seniors and have the meaning to lead the development of girl groups." Sugiura Oyasu said, "After that, we can invite various celebrities in the entertainment industry and use their popularity to
Let's take "Dusk Meow" to another level."
"The judges change once a week. By the way, Akimoto-san, how many official members does the Kitty Club have now?"
Akimoto Yasushi was still digesting the concept that Sugiura Oitai just said. He thought for a moment after hearing this: "There are currently twelve."
"Well...it's still too few." Sugiura Oitai said, "Akimoto-san, since it's the New Year, the selection of members of the Kitten Club can also be accelerated...Don't always wait for Etsurou Kikuchi.
We can also take the initiative to provide new people~"
Fans sign up, talent scouts look for people, friends introduce them, and even invite directly if they like it on the road. It doesn't matter if you can't sing or dance, and it doesn't matter if you don't have talent. The members of the Kitty Club have always been so casual.
"Hey, I understand!" Akimoto Yasushi nodded, but his heart was once again cast in the shadow of Nagayama Naoki, and he sighed, "Naoki-san really has so many ideas!"
Sugiura Oitai thought he was praising Nagayama Naoki, so he also smiled and said:
"Yes, I heard from the minister that he came up with a very good variety show idea when he came to visit and chat. The minister also thought it had great potential. We are currently waiting for the specific planning document!"
"..."
Akimoto Yasushi looked outside the window, why did it get dark so fast today?
........
After returning to the studio, Naoki Nagayama rarely started working on his desk.
I borrowed a stack of manuscript paper from Riko Hayano and started writing the planning drafts for the "Annual Shingo Buzzword Award" and the "Annual Kanji Award".
To be honest, Naoki Nagayama, who has been typing on a typewriter and hasn't written for a long time, even feels a little awkward.
"Naoki-san..." At this moment, Itou Shuichi came over and said, "Speaking of which, our photography department has not yet determined its goals for the new year~"
"?" Nagayama Naoki looked over strangely, "New Year's goal?"
"Yeah, what are we going to film this year?" Itou Shuichi said, "All the scripts we have here have been filmed! "Hot Blood High School", "Midnight Ring" and so on."
"..." Nagayama Naoki looked at Itou Shuichi with contempt, "Shuichi-san, are you coveting my small inventory?"
Itou Shuichi had no embarrassment at all: "What the hell, how can you say it's coveting?!"
"Anyway, the script that Masaki-san wrote down without any trouble will just sit in a drawer and gather ashes~ This is a loss for all of Japan!
Why not take a photo so everyone can appreciate it~
Besides, you can still make money!”
Nagayama Naoki looked at Itou Shuichi's righteous and Lingran look and couldn't help but praise his shamelessness. After two years of training, Director Itou finally became a mature director. After seeing a good script,
No matter what, you have to get it!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But after thinking about it, it is true... the script is really useless there.
So Nagayama Naoki took out a piece of manuscript paper and began to make plans with Itou Shu: "Shuichi-san, I have indeed written a few scripts here, but they are all biased toward TV dramas, and some are not suitable for filming at the moment.
....”
Nagayama Naoki started writing on the manuscript paper, explaining each name once:
"There is a script called "Century of Love," which tells the love story of a pair of happy enemies. It is relatively joyful, relaxed, and very sweet. I think it should be able to impress the audience~"
"The other script is called "Tokyo Love Story". It is also a love story, but it is more adult-oriented and it is an urban drama...
If you want to take pictures of these two, just choose one of them. If they are taken continuously, people may get bored."
While writing it down, Nagayama Naoki briefly talked about the basic plots of two of the most well-known romance TV series, and Yoshimura Otomo on the other desk came over to listen.
"I also have a script for a movie called "Love Stops Like the Rain"..."
When Yi Tangxiu heard the name, he suddenly became excited: "How come this script has the same name as that song?!"
Only then did Nagayama Naoki recall that when he was recalling "Love Is Like the Rain," Shuichi Itou was right next to him...
Oh, by the way, at that time they said that the song was inspired by his first love story!!
Of course this has to be rounded up:
"Ha, yes, it was written based on the inspiration when I wrote this song. I think it can be used as the theme song of the movie..."
After finishing speaking, Nagayama Naoki noticed that Itou Shuichi looked excited:
"Naoki-san, if you put it this way, this movie... is actually based on my first love?!"
"You actually turned my first love into a movie?!"
Only then did Nagayama Naoki feel that something was in trouble. The excuse he gave at that time was really a coincidence!
But at this time, I could only say harshly:
"Ah...haha, it may indeed be similar, but Shuichi-san, you also know...the screenwriter will always change some plots, so it may be related to your first love story
not very big......"
"do not talk!!!"
Itou Xiu slapped the table one by one and looked at Nagayama Naoki with a determined face, his eyes even sparkling:
"Naoki-san... please leave this movie to me! I will do my best to make it a success! Let me draw a happy ending to that first love full of regrets.
Bar!"
"...Your first love ended decades ago, and you are already married and have children!"
Nagayama Naoki complained silently in his heart, but on the surface he still raised his thumbs up sincerely:
"Well! Of course I believe Shuichi-san! The person who shot this movie must be Shuichi-san!!!"
"Thank you!!!"
When the two were passionate, Yoshimura Otomo suddenly interrupted: "Well... Naoki-san, actually I also had a first love that ended in vain... Do you want to write a script too?"
"..."
.......
Late at night, Nagayama Naoki, who had returned to Sanzakura-in, watched Akina Nakamori's performance on "THE BEST TEN" accompanied by a cat and a dog.
The song "Snow Flower" is not accompanied by any dance, and is more traditional enka style. The most important test is actually the singer's singing skills.
However, the beauty of the choreography can indeed make the performance even better. The white lace dress I saw before looked even cooler amidst the falling snowflakes on the stage. Akina Nakamori's deep voice also performed "Snow Flower" affectionately.
"Yutaro, you sang very well~" Nagayama Naoki said to Gouzi next to him after listening.
"Woof!"
The dog couldn't understand the music, but he felt his master's emotions and responded respectfully.
"Haha, right~"
After watching the program, Nagayama Naoki dialed Akina's pager, believing that she would be able to call Akina when she got home, and then went upstairs to continue coding.
If I don’t write for a whole day... I might dream about the scene in the movie again at night~
Time flew by so fast, and more than an hour passed by unknowingly. Naoki Nagayama, who raised his head and relaxed his shoulders, glanced at the time, and then said strangely:
"Why hasn't Akina called? Are there other programs tonight?"
After tidying up the draft, Nagayama Naoki was about to take a shower and go to bed when he suddenly heard the doorbell downstairs ringing:
"Ding dong!"
"It's...it's so late...is anyone looking for you?" The doorbell ringing in the middle of the night is as scary as the midnight bell!
Accompanied by Yotaro, Naoki Nagayama walked to the door and found a figure standing at the door holding a bag... When he walked in, he turned out to be Akina Nakamori!
"Akina!" Nagayama Naoki quickly opened the iron door, "Why did you come here at night?!"
"Because I really want to read the follow-up plot of the novel." Akina hugged her boyfriend gently and said mischievously, "If you don't read it, you will lose sleep at night!"
In fact, it was because they met in the afternoon, but they were not alone together, not even kissing or hugging each other. In addition, they sang "Snow Flower" written by Naoki Nagayama in the evening, which really made Akina miss her family even more.
Boyfriend~
"Is that so~" Nagayama Naoki naturally didn't believe it. If he was here specifically to read novels, why did he hold onto himself when he entered the house~
However, he did not expose his girlfriend's thoughts and hugged Akina into the door:
"Come on then, I just finished writing a paragraph..."
Akina, who had just come off the show, did not go to the study room immediately. Instead, she took a shower first and even put a change of clothes in her bag~
After taking a shower, I leaned on the bed and read the manuscript sent by Naoki Nagayama.
It takes an hour for an author to write a text, and it only takes a minute for a reader to read it. Even if it's a paper text, it doesn't take more than a few glances.
I haven’t written much in the past two days. By the time Naoki Nagayama took a shower and lay on the bed, Akina had already turned the page to the end...
"Naoki-san..."
When Nagayama Naoki was thinking about talking to Akina, he heard Akina's call.
"?"
Even without makeup, her delicate skin glowed white under the illumination of the bedside lamp, and her delicate facial features were like those of a doll. However, at this time, there was a little bit of complaint in her water-cut eyes...
"Short and weak~"
"???!!!" Nagayama Naoki was confused by this word, "Akina, do you know what you are talking about..."
"I only wrote such a little bit...I've already finished reading it~" Akina said plausibly, "Isn't this short and weak?"
"..."
Naoki Nagayama looked at his girlfriend with a naughty look on his face speechlessly, and actually used this word to talk about his boyfriend...
"Naoki-san...you have to work hard!"
Unbearable!
Nagayama Naoki took the manuscript paper in Akina's hand and put it aside, then hugged Akina into his arms and began to move his hand up and down, kissing her smooth cheek and saying:
"Akina-chan... I'm going to let you know tonight what it means to be short and weak!!"
