The lights of various merchandise stores, the cluttered and colorful signboards, and the dynamic neon lights of nightclubs that constantly change colors make the entire area brightly lit and colorful.
Today is Friday, and young people in Tokyo will naturally not miss the great time of nightlife, and come here to have fun with their friends...
Naoki Nagayama took Akina Nakamori shopping in the streets of Harajuku at night. Under the cover of the cap and glasses, no one recognized this person as Akina Nakamori who often appeared on TV and newspapers.
Speaking of which, how many people pay special attention to pedestrians passing by on the street?
"Naoki-san, here here." Akina stopped at a novelty jewelry store and gestured with interest at the display table holding strange necklaces, brooches, special glasses and other decorations.
Then he pulled Naoki Nagayama over and used him as a model... Do girls like to dress up their boyfriends...
"This is so weird~"
Akina took off a sunflower brooch from Nagayama Naoki's collar and replaced it with another chrysanthemum brooch...
Nagayama Naoki couldn't help it anymore, pointing to the JOJO chain hanging on the belt on the display cabinet and said:
"Mingna, why don't you choose that thick brass chain? I'll wear it around my neck and pair it with a pair of big black sunglasses..."
Saying that, Nagayama Naoki started to move, hung the thick brass chain around his neck, and chose a pair of sunglasses from the counter... plus the peaked cap and wide jacket that he already had, a pair of Northeastern
Gangster Brother...ah...no, the hip-hop style look is here!
In this era, hip-hop music was sprouting in the United States on the other side of the ocean. The popular rock style was dominated by leather jackets, so Naoki Nagayama’s style felt very strange...
"Haha, Naoki-san looks... very individual!" Akina, who has a very keen eye for fashion, looked at Nagayama Naoki with interest, "I have never seen such a style!"
European model series~~~Now this style is mine! I will use it for the next song’s singing uniform!
"This is the style of the streets in the United States..." Naoki Nagayama didn't hide anything, "The black street singers over there are trying a very peculiar music style called hip-hop HIP HOP..."
Nakamori Akina's eyes flashed slightly when she heard it, and she became interested in the music Naoki Nagayama talked about. She decided to explore it carefully the next time she went to the United States.
But Naoki Nagayama looked at the image in the mirror, and an idea suddenly came to his mind. If Kaede Nagayama wore a big gold chain and a tight-fitting shirt... tsk tsk tsk...
Give him this as a New Year gift this year! Make one with real gold!
Originally, the end time of the program was already in the evening. The two of them were eating and shopping on the streets of Harajuku, and it soon became late at night.
"Will Akina go to work tomorrow?" Naoki Nagayama asked, holding Akina's hand.
"Well, we will prepare for the release of the record tomorrow! There will be a very busy period of promotion..." The song production of "Ten Commandments" has been going on for more than half a month. Only by releasing it while it is hot can we achieve the greatest success.
Sales performance, "There is also the B-side "Sunny Day"..."
Yes, this song by Naoki Nagayama is on the B side. One is rebellious and the other is sweet, which is in line with Akina Nakamori’s usual style.
"Oh~~"
Seeing that he was about to walk to the parking lot, Naoki Nagayama continued to hold his girlfriend's hand, "Then shall we go to Sansakura-in today? (Actually, what Naoki Nagayama really wants to ask is... Tonight at Sansakura-in)
The bed is big and comfortable. I feel lonely sleeping alone and need Akina’s company....)”
My boyfriend asked me if I wanted to spend the night at his house?!
Akina Nakamori said that she didn’t know how to answer this question, so she could only stay silent for the time being and wait for the answer online!
But Naoki Nagayama’s opinion...if you don’t object, of course you’re acquiescing!
.......
The weather in July is already very hot, and the morning sun is also very dazzling...
However, Naoki Nagayama’s bedroom was not replaced with summer supplies such as mats. The most comfortable thing is to turn on the air conditioner and cover it with a quilt!
"Oh haha, Taro Ying!"
Nagayama Naoki touched the dog that was asking its owner to get up, then looked around and saw that Akina had left early... Sure enough, idols are very busy!
After washing up, I walked downstairs. There was a simple breakfast in the kitchen. It was indeed very virtuous~
"Yutaro, have you eaten it yet?" Nagayama Naoki teased the dog sitting next to the table, wagging its tail, and made an exaggerated expression while eating, "It's delicious~ Hahaha, you can't eat it.
~”
Labrador is the type of dog that can never have enough to eat. The smell of bacon makes his mouth water...
Meowtaro, on the other hand, walked calmly across the window sill of the restaurant with cat steps. He was already full and his interest in food had been reduced to the minimum. He just looked at one person and one dog with contempt... Who is it?
Is it a real dog?
After breakfast and some morning exercise with Yotaro, Nagayama Naoki drove to the studio. Even though it was a weekend, there was no holiday for the entertainment industry, and Nagayama Naoki still had other things to do.
deal with.
"Nao Shu-san~Good morning~" Xing Jiahua still said hello at the front desk.
"Good morning, Hana-chan~" Nagayama Naoki said hello as usual, and was about to walk inside when he suddenly remembered, "Hana-chan, isn't today the weekend? Why don't you have a holiday? Don't you have to go fall in love?"
"..."
Isn't this the system of your company, Naoki-san? Xing Jiahua felt that there were many flaws, and she didn't know how to reply for a while.
"Naoki-san, we have single days off, and we take turns taking weekends off..."
"Ah...that's it..."
Nagayama Naoki nodded and walked inside. He was not very clear about the company's specific administrative regulations. After all, he no longer had to clock in from nine to five, and the time he came to the studio was not fixed.
But even capitalists can’t always squeeze young girls’ time for love on weekends!
I need to discuss this with Otomo-san!
"Otomo-san!"
Pushing open the office door, Nagayama Naoki subconsciously looked at Yoshimura Otomo's desk, but surprisingly, there was no one there.
"Today is the weekend, of course Otomo-san has a rest!" Shuichi Itou said on the other side.
"Ah... I thought Otomo-san was a working machine that never took a day off! Fortunately, it is now confirmed that he is a human on Earth!" Naoki Nagayama sighed.
Itouxiu wanted to complain for a moment, so he blurted out: "Naoki-san, Otomo-san will cry when you say this! And, how do you judge? Besides, have you seen aliens? In addition,
Do you want to take a closer look to see if I am human?..."
"..." Nagayama Naoki glanced at him, "Shuichi-san, I can confirm that you are definitely a complainer!"
"...."
Yi Tangxiu was speechless for a moment~
After a few words of ridicule, Nagayama Naoki asked: "Shuichi-san is so leisurely today, I must have finished editing "Love Will Stop Like the Rain", right?"
"Haha, the main plot has been edited, and the next step is to polish the details..." Yi Tangxiu recruited a few new juniors and juniors, so now those details can be exercised for them.
As for him, he can relax a little now and wait for the newcomer to come up with any good ideas.
"It's early July now... It's time to promote it." Nagayama Naoki calculated the timetable, "Has Masataka-kun's distribution contact been completed?"
"We have already contacted Section Chief Tokihiko Sugiyama and the cinema." Itou Shuichi said, "It will be officially released on July 29th!"
"And during this period, a preview screening will be held..."
Nagayama Naoki nodded, "Love Has Ended Like the Rain" is about to be released, and the first issue of his "Music Station" has also been officially launched... Then the next step should be filming "Kikujiro's Summer"
.
At this time, Itou Shuichi suggested:
"Naoki-san, would you like to see the effect of "Love Stops Like the Rain"?"
"Okay..." Nagayama Naoki nodded happily. He also wanted to see the difference between the current edited version and the ones he would see in the future.
........
In the small editing room, Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Itou were in the front row, while several unfamiliar newcomers sat upright in the back and watched.
A projector projected the movie scene of "Love Ends Like the Rain" on the screen, and even the first and last subtitles were not added.
On the sunny campus, it should have been a bright day for youth. However, the track and field girl Tachibana, played by Xiao Bilijuanxun, suffered a major blow in her life. She was injured while running, and her sports career may end early...
The weather, just like her life, turned into a gloomy rainy day...
At this time, Tachibana met the uncle who could warm her heart...
Naoki Nagayama watched the movie very seriously. It seemed that Shuichi Itou's editing was no different from the main plot in his memory. After all, there was a script.
However, the selection of pictures, the connection of the storyboards, and even the close-ups are all very different from what I remember... so in the end it looks like two different movies.
It's like Zack Snyder's version of "Justice League" and the theatrical version of "Justice League."
"Hmm... What do you think, Naoki-san?" Seeing Naoki Nagayama's solemn expression, Itou Shuichi thought something was wrong.
"Ah, the editing is wonderful!" Naoki Nagayama naturally wouldn't say anything at this time, "I was just wondering why I didn't hear the theme song of "Love Will End Like the Rain"."
"I'm going to put that at the end of the film," Itou Shuichi said.
"Is that the scene where they look at each other at the end?" Naoki Nagayama nodded, "It's indeed good! It just shows the restraint and rebirth of emotions... very suitable for the meaning of this song..."
"Ah, that's right!" Itou Shuichi nodded repeatedly after feeling slightly embarrassed. He originally meant it as the ending theme.
After watching the movie, the two returned to the office again. Naoki Nagayama looked at the time:
"Shuichi-san, I want to go to TV Asahi~"
"Is it for last night's live broadcast?"
"Yes, we agreed to meet up after the first period is over."
Naoki Nagayama nodded. Today he is going to talk about the effect of the program and future production. But judging from yesterday’s feedback, the effect is very good... the audience came to support it offline!
But before leaving the studio, Nagayama Naoki said to Itou Shuichi:
"Xiu Yi-san, I feel like our Shuyou has too few employees? Young people like Hua Jiang actually have a day off and work on weekends... How can young people get married if they don't fall in love?"
?How can you have children if you don’t get married! This is how neon’s declining birth rate was born!”
"A decline in the number of births?" Itou Shuichi asked in confusion, "Where do you start talking about this?"
"Uh..." Naoki Nagayama realized. The bubble hasn't burst yet, and Neon's couple is still very willing to have children!
"I'm talking about this trend!" Nagayama Naoki said hard, "If we don't start to pay attention, this will definitely happen in the future!"
"...."
Seeing that Shuichi Itou was about to complain again, Naoki Nagayama immediately said:
"Xiu Yi-san, wait for Otomo-san to come back and talk to him about recruiting more people! It will be easier to rotate! It's time for our tree friends to expand!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After that, he turned around and opened the door to leave. Shuichi Itou's words were stuck in his throat.
"...We already have expansion plans..."
.........
When he came to TV Asahi again, the doorman and the front desk already knew him...Naoki Nagayama even thought he had arrived at Fuji TV.
In the past, it was only on Fuji TV that I was given the privilege of being released directly after seeing the car...
"Naoki-san!"
The lady at the front desk, Sanan Murai, said hello very politely. It turns out that the people at the TV station also work on weekends!
"Sanan-san~ Is Section Chief Otake Yushi here?"
"Hi! Section Chief Otake is upstairs..." Murai Sanan said, "Already waiting for Naoki-san!"
"Okay, then I'll go straight up~"
Seeing Nagayama Naoki walking towards the elevator, Murai Sanan quickly called Otake Yushi to inform him.
When Naoki Nagayama arrived at the office area of the Production Bureau Section 1, there were only a few people in the huge office area, and Yushi Otake greeted him with a smile on his face:
"Naoki-san, you're here!"
"Hi, Otake-san, we agreed to come and meet." Nagayama Naoki shook hands with him and turned around to look, "Why don't you see Okawa Motokatsu and Kumagai Yasuki?"
"They are in the studio!" Otake Yushi said, "Next week's "Music Station" will be broadcast live in the studio, so they are working on the stage in a hurry."
"Well..." Nagayama Naoki scratched his chin. He had actually arranged the basic content of the next two issues before.
"Let's go to the studio to continue chatting together." Otake Yushi led the way, "The data for the first issue... is really surprising!"
The two of them chatted and headed towards the underground studio. It could be seen that Otake Yushi was very satisfied with the effect of the program, and his whole person was full of smiles.
When they arrived at the door of the studio, Otake Yushi was still talking when he opened the door:
"The ratings of 28% are already the results of a prime-time program. If it can be guaranteed to be above 20% in the future, I will be confident to propose to the minister that it be changed to a prime-time program!"
Naoki Nagayama laughed and said: "Haha, then the producers of prime-time programs will have a headache now..."
After walking in, Nagayama Naoki found that the studio was like a construction site, with many staff busy assembling equipment, and the steel structure of the main stage had begun to take shape.
"Okawa-san, Kumagai-san..." Otake Yushi motioned to the two directors to come over.
"Section Chief, Naoki-san~" Motokatsu Okawa and Yasuki Kumagai are now sincerely convinced of Naoki Nagayama, and they greet each other very respectfully.
"The first broadcast of the program was very successful." Otake Yushi said, "It is basically certain that "Music Station" will become the main music variety show of TV Asahi. The next program production will be left to these three people."
"Obligated~"
Nagayama Naoki nodded, and then started chatting with the other two people resolutely: "Yesterday's live broadcast, I know there were many fans calling... I think the interaction with fans can be used as a highlight in future programs.
..."
Select lucky fans, make phone calls on the spot, and fulfill the fans' wishes... and so on. The two producers nodded repeatedly after hearing the gameplay.
"If there are no problems in other aspects, just follow the pattern of the first period..."
"The first issue will be in KTV, and the second issue will be in the studio. Do you want a special theme?" Okawa Yuankatsu asked.
"In summer..." Nagayama Naoki thought for a moment, "Let's cool down~"
"Oh? Bikini?"
"That's a bit too much..."
"It would be nice to cool down a little..."
After the general direction was set, the experienced Kumagai Taihui said:
"Naoki-san, for the first episode, the guest chosen was Akina Nakamori, a top female idol. So for the second episode, should we choose a top male idol? It just creates a related topic... maybe it can be speculated.
Stirring up scandals..."
As soon as these words came out, both Otake Yushi and Okawa Motokatsu cast curious glances.
They finally knew why Kumagai Yasuki was an ordinary producer despite having so much experience... Couldn't he read the air?!
Didn’t you know about the rumors between Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori before?
Didn’t you see the intimate atmosphere between Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori this time?
The pre-heating video was shot by the two of them together! When they left after the show, they were also together!
"Ahem~" Otake Yushi tried to add, "As for targeting male idols, it's actually not necessary..."
"Why? This will stir up topics and bring more attention to the program!" Kumagai Yasuki asked in confusion, looking at Nagayama Naoki, "Naoki-san, are you right?"
"..."
Otake Yushi wiped his face, forget it, it’s hopeless~
"Hahaha, there is no problem originally, but Akina probably can't stir up this scandal..."
"Why?"
"Because his biggest scandal target right now is me..." Nagayama Naoki shrugged, "Now he is speculating on other groups... no one will believe it..."
"Forehead......."
Kumagai Taihui was speechless and speechless.
"In the next issue, you can try Matsuda Seiko...the competition between female idols for hegemony is actually very interesting~"
Nagayama Naoki laughed. Currently, in the idol world, there is indeed a fierce struggle between the Seiko faction and the Akina faction. Who is the top sister in the idol world? Everyone is very interested...
Wait... It seems that at the beginning of 1985, Seiko Matsuda would quickly announce his breakup with Yumi Go, whom he had dated for four years, and then a month later he would have a flash marriage with another artist Masaki Kanda and retire...
...
At this point, Akina has firmly established herself as the number one sister in the idol world...
But...Matsuda Seiko should be considered...a seamless connection...
As expected of Showa's "Tama Girl" idol... she really knows how to play!
