565, sure enough, he couldnt survive three rounds!
.......
The newspapers and media in Tokyo can be said to be one of the most sensitive groups in the entertainment industry. Some reporters with great skills and even famous politicians have to smile. Otherwise, if they are not careful, tomorrow's news headlines may become "surprise". Explosion, a certain politician is having fun late at night...without paying!"
Of course, the bosses of several major newspapers would not be so unwise, but some entertainment tabloids that specialize in catching rumors are not so ethical.
As one of the freelance journalists, Shinnosuke Matsuzawa has made a prosperous career as a journalist since graduating from "Shōkan Bunshun". He is now a contributor and columnist for several media, and he is considered well-known in the industry.
He was too busy with work and even temporarily gave up tracking Nagayama Naoki's scandal. The clue blackboard in his study room had not been updated at all.
"Something's wrong, this is very wrong..."
Matsuzawa Shinnosuke looked at several newspapers on his desk and muttered to himself, because since the day before yesterday, many newspapers have begun to analyze the movie "Love Letter", and even the newspapers that were originally critical have changed their direction.
"Did Kadokawa actually abandon "Detective Story" and "Dirty Heroes"? Why on earth?"
It can be said that in the previous competition, major film production companies such as Toho, Toei, Shochiku, Kadokawa, and Nikkatsu would fully support their own films, but judging from the development in the past two days, Kadokawa has completely turned to the tree. Youying Pictures, Shochiku are divided into three factions, Toho is still strong, but Toei...
Although Matsuzawa Shinnosuke is not clear about the complicated relationship behind it, judging from the direction of the trend, it is obvious that Shuyu Pictures used the relationship to get many people.
"It seems that this guy Naoki Nagayama is going to take home all the Blue Ribbon Awards and Academy Awards!"
After a long absence, he pulled down the curtain on the blackboard and looked at the clues about Nagayama Naoki. Matsuzawa Shinnosuke cut out a piece of today's newspaper and stapled it with thumbtacks, and then drew a line to Naoki Nagayama's head... ...
On the wall of dense clues, there are many people connected with Naoki Nagayama, including Otomo Yoshimura, Shuichi Itou and other public partners, artists under his banner, stars he has worked with, etc., even a grinning white man The dog is also on it, and it is specially marked - pet...
Its subsidiary Shuyu Pictures has formed a strong relationship network with Kadokawa, Fuji TV, Shogakukan, Being Records, etc.
There is even a portrait of Kaede Nagayama on this clue wall. In particular, Kaede Nagayama also has a line connected to a black portrait, marking the mark of the Yamaguchi-gumi.
However, the line between Naoki Nagayama and one of the stars is obviously denser. On that profile picture is a smiling face full of energy - Akina Nakamori!
Matsuzawa Shinnosuke looked at the wall full of clues and felt a sense of satisfaction:
"Naoki Nagayama, everything about you is under my control!"
In fact, he could have revealed that Naoki Nagayama is in love with Akina Nakamori a long time ago, but this kind of revelation is just another piece of gossip in the entertainment industry and will have no impact on Naoki Nagayama at all.
And this time, if it is revealed that Nagayama Naoki manipulated the judges and plotted to win the film award, then... it should be considered a big piece of dirty information!
Thinking of this, Matsuzawa Shinnosuke felt his whole body become excited. The "humiliation of being ignored by Nagayama Naoki" that he had forgotten due to his busy work suddenly came to his mind again...
This time... Naoki Nagayama, you must finally remember me!
........
Naoki Nagayama, who had no idea that he was being remembered again, was meeting an old man with gray hair in an old-looking office building.
"This is the first time we meet. My name is Masataka Oishi, and I am the editor-in-chief of the Japan Free National Society." The gray-haired but energetic old man greeted me.
"This is the first time we meet. I am Naoki Nagayama. Please give me your advice..." Naoki Nagayama also bowed solemnly.
The one who came with him today was Kuniji Morikawa. He was an acquaintance here, so he was not too restrained: "Editor-in-Chief Oishi, it's been a long time... Is everything okay recently?"
"Haha, TOEFL, my body is quite healthy."
Oishi Masataka responded with a smile, and then a few people sat in the ancient conference room and drank freshly brewed hot tea.
"Nagayama-kun, I have heard your name many times!" Oishi Masataka and Morikawa Kunji exchanged a few words, and then began to talk to Nagayama Naoki, "Even my grandson is watching "The Garden of Summer", so I wrote
It’s so great!”
"That's my honor." Nagayama Naoki nodded slightly, trying to look calm.
"Haha, "Love Letter" and "Love Sky" have been two best-selling novels in a row, and they also won the Naoki Award..." Masataka Oishi counted the achievements of Nagayama Naoki's works one by one, and he admired this young man very much, "
What a young and promising author!”
"You are exaggerating..." Nagayama Naoki tried his best to keep a straight face.
"Not to mention such high achievements in the film industry... Best Film Award, Best Director, Best Screenplay... and the "Love Letter" movie that is so popular now, even me
The old man has heard about it!" Oishi Masataka continued to praise, "You are truly the most outstanding young man I have ever seen!"
"Haha, I'm a little embarrassed by what Editor-in-Chief Oishi said~" Naoki Nagayama couldn't help it and grinned~
Then I found Oishi Masataka saying to Morikawa Kunji next to him:
"Sure enough, I can't survive three rounds!"
Kuniji Morikawa had been holding back his laughter just now, but now he couldn't bear it anymore: "Haha, Chief Editor Oishi still likes to do such things!"
"?" Nagayama Naoki was puzzled.
Kunji Morikawa explained: "Editor-in-chief Oishi likes to joke with young people. Every time he sees a seemingly calm young man, he likes to praise them with nice words again and again...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Most people burst into laughter when they heard the first round of compliments. Not many people can still feel calm in the second round. By the third round
There are very few people who can keep their expressions unchanged!
Haha, no need to rest, Naoki-san, you are already one of the few who can last until the third round~"
The gray-haired Oishi Masataka was drinking tea and looking at Nagayama Naoki with a smile: "Haha~ Nagayama-kun, I am an old man who likes to joke with young people, please don't mind it~"
"..." Naoki Nagayama was speechless. Are all old people so good at playing these days?
Then he turned to look at Morikawa Kunji: "Kuniji-san, why didn't you inform me in advance?"
"What's the point of notifying me?" Kuniji Morikawa winked, "This has almost become the habit of Editor-in-Chief Oishi, and it's only this one time anyway.
Besides, if it were Naoki-san, would the visitors be informed in advance?"
Nagayama Naoki thought for a while and sighed: "Maybe I can't do it either..."
Yes, I have been deceived a lot, and I always want to see others fall into the same trap...but...
"Editor-in-Chief Oishi, is the third round already the last?" Nagayama Naoki looked at Oishi Masataka curiously, "Isn't there anyone who has survived? How many rounds has Kuniji-san survived?"
"Haha, he smiled like he was blooming in the first round~"
Oishi Masataka glanced at Morikawa Kuniji with a smile, making him lower his head in embarrassment, and then recalled a little:
"I have met not many young people, and very few can survive until the third round... But speaking of it, there is indeed such a person who always has a calm mind."
"who is it?"
"It's a new author named Haruki Murakami."
"Eh?! Haruki-san?" Nagayama Naoki was surprised.
"Well, it's him. I praised him five times. Although he also smiled, I could feel that it was just a polite smile..." Masataka Oishi complained, "In the end, he looked at me as if he was looking at me.
It’s like a mental illness...I wonder if it’s because I’m born to be stern.”
"..." Nagayama Naoki complained in his heart, he might really think there is something wrong with you.
"But that guy's writing has great potential! If you can stick to it, you will definitely achieve something in the future." Oishi Masataka said.
Nagayama Naoki nodded, Murakami Haruki will indeed become a great writer in the future.
After this, the atmosphere in the conference room began to become a lot more relaxed. After chatting about interesting things for a while, Oishi Masataka finally asked the real question:
"Nagayama-kun, an acquaintance from Kadokawa Shoten called me yesterday and talked about the "Newspeak Buzzword Awards" program."
"To be honest, we are actually very interested... But if it is going to be hosted, why not just let it be hosted directly by our Free National Society? Wouldn't that save a lot of things?"
Oishi Masataka asked directly, if they were to host it alone, then the subsequent fame and influence would be exclusively enjoyed by the Japan Free National Society. Why should Shuyou, elementary school administrators, Kadokawa and even Fuji TV get a share of the pie?
Woolen cloth?
Although the planning of the program was proposed by Naoki Nagayama, it was just an idea. I had not thought of it before but now it has been exposed. The Free National Society already knows about it. With their ability, they can run it by themselves. The Japanese Free National Society
We also have a close relationship with NTV.
Nagayama Naoki knew that this was an important moment, so he said cautiously:
"Editor-in-Chief Oishi, this is indeed a question worth pondering."
"We want Japan Free National Society to join us just for an authoritative endorsement. This is more important for the upper management, mainly because they see the possible future development trend of the program.
But in the final analysis, this is just an entertainment program. For ordinary viewers, Fuji TV, Shogakukan and Kadokawa Shoten are already authoritative enough, so there is not much difference in the appeal of the program."
Nagayama Naoki paused, and when he saw Oishi Masataka looking at him with an unchanging expression, he could only continue:
However, you only have one idea, and I already have a complete plan, a complete team, and have already negotiated with Fuji TV... The program can be launched at any time.
If Japan Free National Society were to organize it on its own, it would be nothing more than a competitor, and all variety shows would be copied by its competitors. We have already taken this into consideration in our plans."
"Leaving aside whether you are good enough in the production of entertainment programs, Fuji TV's ratings will definitely be higher than NTV's."
"We will still leave the most important mark in the hearts of the audience as the 'first' popular variety show. If you become our competitor, you will only distract the impression of this kind of program."
"This may have an impact on the long-term development of the program, but it will not have much impact on the short-term ratings."
Nagayama Naoki saw that Oishi Masataka's face was already a little heavy, and finally said:
"It's just that cooperation would benefit both parties... It's a pity for the future of this show."
After listening to Naoki Nagayama's words quietly, Masataka Oishi closed his eyes and began to meditate, while Kuniji Morikawa here secretly gave Naoki Nagayama a thumbs up from underneath.
"Sure enough, he is the most outstanding young man I have ever seen!" Oishi Masataka opened his eyes and took a deep look at Naoki Nagayama, "What he said is very clear."
"?" Nagayama Naoki was stunned for a moment, then grinned, "Haha, has Editor-in-Chief Oishi started praising people again?! I can't last one round this time!"
"I don't have any!" Oishi Masataka almost choked at this sentence.
After calming down, Oishi Masataka said seriously: "Actually, when both Kadokawa Bookstore and Shogakukan called to communicate, we had almost made up our minds."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You have arranged everything, are responsible for your own profits and losses, and have so many allies... In the end, we only need a name to enjoy it.
The benefits of the program's success...how could we refuse such a free thing~"
"I will feel more at ease when I meet you, the person in charge behind the scenes."
Seeing that Oishi Masataka recognized this cooperation, Nagayama Naoki put a relieved smile on his face:
"That's really great~"
Now that an agreement has been reached, the three people in the conference room also took advantage of the situation to chat about the specific cooperation agreement. Although Kadokawa's representative was not present, based on the friendship between Naoki Nagayama and Haruki Kadokawa, as long as the cooperation agreement is not too outrageous, in fact,
It's nothing.
After all, Kadokawa Shoten, like Shogakukan and the Civil Liberties Union, does not want to make money through this. Instead, it hopes that the final selection of the "Newspeak Buzzword Award" at the end of the year will bring to it the contacts, channels and influence it may bring.
.
The three of them chatted happily and originally wanted to have a drink, but Naoki Nagayama and Kunji Morikawa declined.
Oishi Masataka is so old. If someone accidentally gets drunk, will the future cooperation continue?
When he finally walked out of the National Freedom Association, Naoki Nagayama said to Kuniji Morikawa:
"Bunji-san, it looks like this show is about to be officially launched... Your primary school hall should hurry up and choose the people to participate!"
Each program requires relevant personnel to explain the terminology and conduct interviews at the place where the rankings are produced. These people are considered permanent guests!
"Hey, we won't delay!"
Kuniji Morikawa nodded repeatedly. For this opportunity to appear on TV and increase his fame, competition within Shogakukan is fierce.
........
In the studio of Fuji TV, Yasushi Akimoto and Oyasu Sugiura are busy recording the latest episode of "Twilight Meow Meow".
Sugiura Oitai looked at the grading process of the new instructor on the stage and quietly asked the person next to him:
"Akimoto-san, the first batch of mentors is from the Wildcats. Do you have any reservations for the next batch? I think there will be many people in the entertainment industry who want to take the position of such mentors."
Akimoto Yasushi shook his head: "Not yet, and there is no brokerage company to communicate. Maybe there will be someone after the show is broadcast."
"You said... do you want Naoki-san to be a guest?" Sugiura Oyasu asked casually, "Naoki-san is very famous right now, and he is also a well-known director...
.”
Qiu Yuanyasu's face was a little stiff, and he quickly hid by notifying the staff next to him to speed up the process. He waited until the program continued to be recorded before he went to the side and answered:
"Naoki-san... He is actually not well-known in the idol world."
"Nani? He is the Prince Charming in the hearts of high school girls now!" Sugiura Otai said in surprise, "Didn't you watch the clip of "Love Letter"?"
"I saw it..." Akimoto Yasushi's tone was filled with jealousy. Once upon a time, he also wanted to become a girl's Prince Charming, but unfortunately... he was too fat.
"However, Da Tai-san, we have to look at it from a practical point of view. In fact, Naoki-san's focus is not on the idol industry. He doesn't even have the most basic fan group..." Yasushi Akimoto said, "So let him
If you serve as a mentor, it will have no guiding significance for the newly selected idols..."
In fact, his words are very pale, and he does not know how to guide idols? So what is going on with the three cat-eye sisters under Shuyu, Junko Ito, Yuki Saito, and the famous Chiko Aoyama?
Nagayama Naoki doesn’t know how to coach, but he can support idols!!
However, Otasu Sugiura didn't say much. After all, Akimoto Yasushi is now an important backbone of the "Twilight Meow Meow" program. Without him, the next episode may not be able to be filmed.
Besides, Naoki Nagayama may not be willing to come over...
"Haha, forget it then..." Sugiura Otae patted Akimoto Yasushi on the shoulder, "But you have to think about your mentor next time in advance!"
"Well, I'll think about it in advance!"
After the two people finished communicating, they watched the recording of "Twilight Mew" again. However, after a while, Sugiura Oitai felt a little strange: "Akimoto-san, how do you feel...among these girls, the ones with short hair are so
many?"
I saw that among the new members of the Kitten Club, five out of ten have short hair.
Akimoto Yasushi took a look: "It seems to be because of the trend.
Didn't Akina Nakamori have short hair for a while? And Kyoko Koizumi also had short hair...
So the agency feels that boyish idols with short hair are also very popular, so many newcomers are being pulled to cut their hair short."
Sugiura Oitai nodded: "But there are too many, and it feels a bit strange..."
"Well, let Etsurou Kikuchi stop doing this..."
Yasushi Akimoto didn't pay too much attention, because it was not certain whether these new idols would be able to debut.
He stared at the recording of the program intently, and only heard one of the short-haired girls introducing herself in front of a group of instructors:
"Good evening, tutors. I'm a little Hibisuki from Hokkaido. I'm good at singing..."
