Hearing the sound of propellers coming from overhead again, Fuji TV's Sugiura Oyasu complained.
The office floor is high, so every time an airship flies overhead, the sound is louder.
"Otai-san, this is romance! Isn't romance good?" Nishirumi complained, "I'm so jealous! I don't know who gave Nakamori Akina a birthday gift!"
Sugiura Oitai seemed to have seen through everything: "Do you still need to ask? Of course it's Naoki Nagayama! It's definitely that guy who did it!!!"
"Huh? How are you so sure?!" Nishirumi said in disbelief, "Naoki-san is indeed possible, but would he really do it so exaggeratedly? Didn't the media, Naoki-san and Akina-chan all say so?
Are they just good friends?"
Otasu Sugiura rolled his eyes: "Nishimei... I have been in the entertainment industry for so long, but I still don't understand that the media's words cannot be trusted!"
Yasushi Akimoto, who originally didn't want to participate in the discussion, couldn't help but interject at this time: "Sometimes when judging the relationship between men and women, you can't just look at what they say, but what they do!"
"Didn't you read the reports from the past few days? In the "Music Station" program, didn't Naoki-san invite Akina Nakamori as a special guest in the first episode? They even filmed the short film together!"
"this......"
"In addition to the previous movies and songs...Have you ever seen Naoki Nagayama have such close contact with other female artists? A lot of resources have been given to Akina Nakamori?!"
Qiu Yuanyaos face was full of determination:
"Let me tell you clearly, the two of them are dating! It's still the kind of relationship where the relationship is very good and the relationship is predicated on marriage!"
Nishi Rumi was originally a bit emotional, maybe subconsciously she didn’t want Naoki-san to be seduced by any woman... But after hearing the rational analysis from her colleagues, she finally admitted:
"Oh... Naoki-san, such a handsome person, is actually being serious! Da Tai-san... tell me when did it start..."
Sugiura Oitai had been silent since the beginning, as if he was thinking about something, and at this time he said:
"It must have been very early. Naoki-san seems to have known Nakamori Akina before she debuted... It should have been before Naoki-san sold "World Wonder Story" to Fuji TV for the first time...
"
"So early! Nakamori Akina was only 15 years old at that time... Naoki-san actually liked younger people..." Nishirumi complained silently. She was almost 27, which was already appropriate.
As an older urban woman... she definitely has no chance.
However, Sugiura Oitai did not dwell on Nagayama Naoki's emotional problems. Instead, he asked Akimoto Yasu:
"Akimoto-san... that program on TV Asahi has high ratings, right?"
"Hey, I asked an acquaintance about it, and the ratings have reached the level of "Night Hit" and "THE BEST TEN". If it were on prime time, it might even exceed that." Yasushi Akimoto was full of emotion at this time.
, "Naoki Nagayama's skill in program production is no less than his creative talent and directing skills!"
I originally thought that a variety show like "Twilight Meow" that could become popular in neon would be considered the pinnacle. After all, there are so many producers in the entertainment industry, and there are only a few who can leave well-known programs.
But I didn't expect that after Naoki Nagayama collaborated with TV Asahi, he would actually produce another variety show that was not inferior.
Yasushi Akimoto continued: "In the second issue, Seiko Matsuda has been invited as a special guest... It seems that he wants to determine the top sister in the idol world..."
"The gimmick is very attractive...it's also a music chart-type program...it has a long life!" Otasu Sugiura sighed. He already regretted it. If he could have tried harder to persuade Takano,
Just be a minister, isn’t it just a TV series~
Wouldn't it be great if Naoki-san came to take the photo? Now he has given his competitors a big trump card...
At this time, a person walked into the preparation office of "Dusk Mew" with a document. After seeing Sugiura Oyasu and Akimoto Yasusu, he handed over the document:
"Sugiura-san, Akimoto-san, this is the data from yesterday's "Dusk Mew"."
"Hi, Arigado."
Sugiura Oitai took it and after taking a look at a few key data, he sighed:
"Alas...it has indeed dropped again."
Yasushi Akimoto took it and read it: "The ratings are still fluctuating within the normal range, but the interaction rate, calls and letters from fans have been declining compared to before!"
The fluctuation in ratings may be due to the fact that the theme of this issue is not very attractive, and may continue to rise in the next issue. However, the decline in other data means that the potential of the program is declining... To put it simply, a
Deduction of blood volume, upper limit of deduction...
"Variety shows like ours that are broadcast every day will lose their appeal as long as there is no freshness. We have encountered this a few times before~" Nishi Rumi looked at it openly, "Isn't it all solved~"
"...."
"Those times, it was Naoki Nagayama's idea..." Otasu Sugiura regretted even more.
"Ah...this"
Nishi Rumi also knows that Naoki Nagayama is now in an awkward period with Fuji TV, and wants Naoki Nagayama to help again at this time...
Akimoto Yasushi listened thoughtfully to the conversation between the two people...
He felt that he should do something.
........
The entertainment industry in Tokyo always responds very quickly, especially to such major news, especially when the main character of the news is on the TV station.
In the afternoon, Akina Nakamori came to Fuji TV to record "Night Hit", which will be broadcast next Monday...
Originally, Akina Mori didn't come to this issue of "Night Hit" because "Ten Commandments" had already been recorded. However, the song "Sunny Day" is on the back of the record this time, so I decided to come and promote it again.
It can be said that Naoki Nagayama increased the workload for Akina...
"Ms. Akina Nakamori! Please wait a moment!"
After getting out of the car, before walking to the elevator, Akina Nakamori was blocked in the aisle by alert reporters.
In an instant, reporters who appeared out of nowhere surrounded Nakamori Akina and her group, and the flash lights made the originally dark parking garage bright as day.
In addition to Fuji TV's own reporters, there are also many well-informed entertainment reporters. After one morning, almost everyone knows the whereabouts of Akina Nakamori.
"Akina-san, is this company promotion or a private act?" "Ms. Akina! Who planned the birthday celebration?" "Is it a fan? Or an admirer?" "Did Ms. Akina know in advance?" "Akina-chan,
Is it Naoki Nagayama?" "Ms. Akina, how are you feeling now?"
Questions came at Akina Nakamori like machine guns, while Akiyukifusa and Maki Ueda physically separated the excited reporters and tried their best to clear the way to the elevator.
Originally, Akina Nakamori, as an artist, always had to reply when encountering such a situation, but today, although Akina Nakamori had a smile on her face, she had no intention of responding at all. She just talked about private Marseilles, and then moved towards the TV station building.
Walk inside...
She just wanted to keep this surprise in her heart.
"Mingna-san, please give me some response!"
As the elevator door was about to close and Akina Nakamori's figure was about to disappear in the elevator, a reporter pleaded loudly.
Nakamori Akina glanced at the crowd of people outside the door, and thought of the airship still hovering in the sky, an impulse suddenly surged in her heart.
She walked quickly to the front of the elevator door, and then a bright smile appeared on her face:
"I am very happy today! Very happy! Very happy!!!"
The professionalism of the reporters who were able to come here is unquestionable. The sound of the shutter clicked to a higher level...until the elevator door was completely closed.
In the elevator, Nakamori Akina's face flushed, she held her pounding chest and let out a long sigh of relief...
Next to her, Ueda Maki was a little confused: "Why did Akina-chan say that at the end?"
During the commercial recording in the morning, some people wanted to be interviewed, but Akina Nakamori did not leave a word.
"Naoki-san gave me a gift in front of everyone and wished me a happy birthday..." Akina Nakamori's tone was full of joy, "At least, I want to tell him how I felt about receiving the gift in front of everyone!!
!
What I said in front of reporters should be spread quickly... Naoki-san will definitely see it soon!!!"
Akikofusa shook her head... Akina-chan, what do you think of the media? A bulletin board? A wish wall?
If you want to tell me how you feel, just make a phone call... I all know that you two have a pager that can only communicate with each other!
You couple really don't make people worry. A gift is given to everyone, and a reply is given in front of the public... What are you doing? Is it a public broadcast to the world?
Don’t you know how much more workload our brokers and firms will have to add?!
In the morning, I communicated with President Huajian of Yanyin for a long time...
.......
After putting on some makeup and singing clothes in the lounge, Nakamori Akina walked into the studio.
The recording of "Night Hit" hasn't started yet, and the guests who came are all chatting in groups. However, after seeing Akina Nakamori, the studio even fell into silence for a short time...
At least today, Akina Nakamori is the absolute protagonist in the entertainment industry!
Akina Nakamori did not expect this situation, and her body became a little stiff in the eyes of everyone... Fortunately at this time:
"Akina-chan! Happy birthday!" Koizumi Kyoko came over, took Akina's arm and walked towards the seat.
"Thank you....."
At the same time, he said in the ear of his friend, "Akina-chan, today is really... making people envious and jealous!"
"I didn't expect it either..." Akina Nakamori whispered to her friend, "I was very surprised when I saw it..."
"That's even more enviable! I also want to receive such a gift!" Koizumi Kyoko said in frustration, "Unfortunately, my birthday is still half a year away..."
But...whether any fans would spend huge sums of money to celebrate Kyoko Koizumi's birthday...this was not within her scope of consideration.
As the two sat down, the air in the studio seemed to start to flow again, and everyone started chatting again.
However, there were many people paying attention to the area near Akina Nakamori, and some even came over to chat...Tahara Toshihiko, relying on his familiarity with Akina Nakamori, hurried over and asked:
"Akina-chan...it's Naoki-san, right? It must be his, right?"
Nakamori Akina rolled her eyes, neither admitting nor denying... In this studio full of cameras and microphones, who knows if there is a machine recording the highlights.
"What a big deal! Three airships...it will cost a lot of money!" Toshihiko Tahara also realized it and began to change the topic.
"About a few million?" Yu Hayami answered from the side.
"It should be more than..." Tahara Toshihiko said.
"I really want it...Junjun, please give me one on my birthday!" Kyoko Koizumi interrupted.
"what are you thinking about!"
Then everyone started discussing how much it would cost to celebrate a birthday like this and where to customize it.
Akina Nakamori, who was originally somewhat independent in the circle, suddenly found herself at the center of a group of idols.
The entertainment world is such a realistic place. If you have capital and fame, you will be the center of everyone's attention...and there is no doubt that today's attention belongs to Akina.
Kondo Masahiko originally wanted to join that group, but when he thought that they were all talking about Nagayama Naoki, he felt upset, so he turned to talk to the older host Mari Yoshimura, and asked Mari Yoshimura
Very amused...
.......
Naoki Nagayama, who has been talked about many times by everyone, is at the Samadhiju Teahouse in Shinjuku at this time.
Yesterday afternoon, I went to visit Yuko Tanaka and discussed the publicity matters before the shooting. Today, he specially invited Takeshi Kitano to the teahouse for tea, and by the way, he also invited Masaki Kobayashi.
Inside the private room on the third floor...
"Naoki-san... Why do you think of coming to drink tea with me, an old man..." Masaki Kobayashi smiled and looked at Naoki Nagayama who was pouring tea opposite, "Isn't it the right time for young people to be here all the time?"
Are you thinking about making some big news?!"
The old director pointed to the sky with meaning~
He knew about the relationship between Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori when "Love Letter" was released.
After all, they were friends for many years, and Naoki Nagayama didn't hide anything when they were chatting.
"Hahaha, the news has already come out~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Just let the airship continue flying..."
"Today's young people really have more fun than our generation..." Kobayashi Masaki took a sip of the fragrant top-grade Gyokuro tea. "At that time, the most I could give was clothes and jewelry. If you had money, you would give jewelry."
...At most, they only give away cars and real estate, which is not like now..."
"Times are evolving...and as directors like us, we can even tailor-make a movie as a gift!"
Naoki Nagayama smiled modestly.
"Hahaha, it's indeed a good idea..." Kobayashi Masaki nodded in agreement.
"Actually, I invited Masaki-san here today because I want to ask you about something..." Naoki Nagayama then got down to business, "I also made an appointment with the leading actor of the next movie today, Takeshi Kitano.
A tough guy, and a bit vicious..."
"Ah, him, I know him."
Masaki Kobayashi nodded. He had some impressions of this actor and had met him a few times. After all, although his face was not handsome, it was very recognizable.
"My next movie is called "The Summer of Kikujiro," and it is a comedy..." Naoki Nagayama said, "Takeshi Kitano plays a dissolute middle-aged uncle who is paralyzed by life, but he still has something in his heart.
There is a sense of innocence..."
The plot of Nagayama Naoki-chan and Kobayashi Masaki have been discussed. The story line is very simple, but if you want to shoot it well, you need strong skills.
"So what's Naoki-san's problem?"
"Although Kitano Takeshi is very suitable for this role, he is too young now. The character in my movie is more like him more than ten years later..." Naoki Nagayama said.
"Although you can use makeup to increase your age, but how to make a young actor act like he will be more than ten years later... I would like to ask the experienced Masaki-san for advice."
"That's it..." Kobayashi Masaki lowered his head and thought for a while, "I may need to see the actors before I can have an idea..."
"Well, that's why I invited Kitano Takeya to come over. He should be arriving soon..."
"Then we'll talk about it after seeing it..."
The two of them continued to drink tea and chat about the current gossip.
Within ten minutes, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and Takeshi Kitano, who looked slightly menacing, walked in wearing a proper shirt and trousers...
"Naoki-san..." Kitano Takeshi greeted Nagayama Naoki first, then looked at Kobayashi Masaki next to him, "Director Kobayashi, I didn't expect you to be here too..."
"Haha, Naoki-san specially invited me here today..."
"Kitano-san, please sit down." Nagayama Naoki asked Kitano Takeshi to sit down and poured him a cup of tea. "Because of the filming of the movie, I have some questions, so I asked Masaki-san for advice..."
Nagayama Naoki talked about Kitano Takeshi's role, which made Kitano Takeshi a little confused:
"Me in ten years?"
"What should that look like?"
Kobayashi Masaki looked Kitano Takeshi up and down... At this time, Kitano Takeshi was less than forty, the age at which a man reaches his peak...
The muscles are well developed, the skin is tight, and the whole person's spirit has the hard-core style of a Showa man. If his face were not a bit more fierce, he would look similar to Takakura Ken...
Kitano Takeshi's hair stood on end when he saw Masaki Kobayashi, and then he heard Masaki Kobayashi say:
"In more than ten years...first of all, the hem of the shirt will no longer be tucked into the pants!"
"Eh?!"
Naoki Nagayama and Takeshi Kitano both looked over in confusion.
"Haven't you seen those middle-aged and elderly swingers? They basically wear shirts in summer...and they are very loose..." Kobayashi Masaki said with a smile, "That's how cool you are!
"
He continued:
"Also, Takeshi Kitano, you are too strong... After more than ten years, even if you exercise, you will lose weight... and become the so-called lean..."
"Hi..." Takeshi Kitano nodded subconsciously, this old man did have something.
"You can't keep your back so straight..."
"Don't show your gums when you smile..."
"The hair should also be permed and made a little fluffy, preferably thinner..."
Naoki Nagayama not only listened, but also took out a small notebook and recorded it. This was the accumulation of decades of experience of director Masaki Kobayashi. Even if he had a complete memory of the film, he might not be able to shoot it perfectly.
But he looked at Kitano Takeshi. Other changes in appearance were easy to explain, but this figure... how to become thinner and leaner in a short period of time...
Do you want to be like a certain Batman actor who can freely control his weight? Only eat an apple a day?
This... what if Kitano Takeshi starves to death...
