After all, I was pulled over to work overtime on the weekend...
After Naoki Nagayama received the call in advance, he was called to the studio by Yoshimura Otomo on the big weekend...
"Naoki-san...there's nothing we can do about it~" Yoshimura Otomo said with an embarrassed expression on his face, "Although the Central Children's Drama Troupe is a trained children's drama troupe, the children are still quite special...
...After all, children have to go to school on weekdays~"
"So I can only come and audition on weekends~"
"Alas..." Naoki Nagayama couldn't say anything after giving the legitimate reasons for his children's education, so he could only swallow the bitter pill silently, "So, how many people are we going to audition today?"
"There are seven or eight children's drama troupes alone... There are also invitations from other agencies and some talent scouts. It is expected that there will be more than 20 children... The appropriate age in the entertainment industry
Almost all the servants were called over."
Yoshimura Otomo took the files of these child actors and gave them to Naoki Nagayama: "Here are the photos and some experiences of previous performances."
"They are just kids... forget about their performance experience and all that..." Nagayama Naoki briefly flipped through it and stopped reading, "I'll just watch it in person later."
Fangcun Dayou did not continue to read the information, but asked:
"Naoki-san, how do you plan to audition these children? Let them perform improvisationally?"
"Children in movies...unless they meet that one-in-a-million born acting seed...others mostly depend on their appearance and...how do I put it?
, obedience, tenacity..." Nagayama Naoki squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then said slowly.
The filming of a movie takes at least more than a month, and there must be a lot of NG and polishing. He doesn't want to be a naughty kid during the filming... The kind that requires the whole crew to coax him for a long time...
..
"So... in fact, most of them have already been confirmed at the first glance, and the next step of screening is to find the most obedient ones among the qualified ones."
Fangcun Dayou listened for a long time and finally nodded and said:
"Actually, it just depends on your eyesight, right?!"
"..."
Hit the red heart... Naoki Nagayama has nothing to say to refute.
Fangcun Dayou did not press forward step by step, but said: "Naoki-san, it is expected to arrive soon... I have asked Xing Jiahua to clean up the conference room, we should go over and wait!"
"Hua Jiang is on duty on the weekends again... Last time we said we were going to expand enrollment, haven't we started yet?"
"It has already started.... But the first ones to be recruited must be the agents from the Entertainment Division, then the staff from the Filming Division and the Publishing Division, and finally it is the General Affairs Department's turn....
"Yangcun Otomo said, "During this period, just work hard on Hana-chan!"
"...Otomo-san..."
"Um?"
"You are now a mature capitalist!"
"Thank you....."
The two of them walked into the conference room while talking. When passing by the lobby, the two of them had already seen someone coming in from the main entrance with a group of children.
Although there is no dress code, these child actors all wore school uniforms... This should be considered the attire of children in formal occasions...
Nagayama Naoki and Yoshimura Otomo arrived in the conference room. The conference room that originally had tables had been moved to a blank space, leaving only a referee's table. The two began to put the materials on their hands according to the numbers, and then chatted while waiting for the selection.
The corner time is coming.
About ten minutes later, Xing Jiahua knocked on the door and came in:
"Naoki-san, Otomo-san, and the young actors who came to audition have almost all arrived..."
Fangcun Dayou nodded: "Then let them come in one by one in order. By the way, only one adult can accompany you at a time."
"Hi!"
It's a must to be accompanied by an adult. A child of this age needs a legal guardian by his side even if he goes to the scene for filming!
The teacher from the Central Children's Theater Troupe came in first. After entering, he bowed to the two of them and said:
"This is the first time we meet. I am Kawakami Toman, a teacher from the Central Children's Theater Company. I am responsible for leading the students to participate in this audition. Please give me your advice."
"Hi, this is the first time we meet. I am Naoki Nagayama/Otomo Yoshimura. Please give me your advice."
After a skillful meeting ceremony, the formal audition began...
"Good morning, my name is Nagai Tosei. It's our first time meeting you, so please give me some advice..." A lively-looking little boy bowed and said hello, then looked up at the adults opposite...
"Ahem~" Naoki Nagayama stood up, "Hello... Today's audition is very simple..."
"You just need to act like you're running away from home..."
"?"
Looking at the young actor with a doubtful look on his face, Nagayama Naoki had to explain further: "It's the way you feel when you are walking alone on the road... and you still look back from time to time...
....”
".....Hi!"
The Nagai children started the performance with some doubts, starting from the door and walking this way... I have to say that these little actors from the Central Children's Drama Troupe, although a little stiff, still showed a person
The feeling of walking alone is that the movements are a little exaggerated...
Maybe it's a habit from stage plays...
"Arigado~Thank you for coming to the audition today~"
After Naoki Nagayama performed a round for the children, he politely asked Kawakami to take him out. Of course, he did not directly inform the results or anything... What if he made him cry...
Next, each of the children came to the conference room and walked around, asking what it was like to "run away from home". Some couldn't understand the tiptoeing steps at all, while others left in large strides, as if they were escaping...
.....
.......
The teacher from the Central Children's Drama Troupe led the team away, and there were only two people left in the conference room.
"Naoki-san, how are you?" Fangcun Otomo came over and asked, "You're almost halfway through, is there anyone you have a crush on?"
Nagayama Naoki sighed: "They are all children..."
"Nothing you like?"
"Not yet..." Naoki Nagayama compared the picture in his mind with the child actors interviewed today. As expected, there was a huge gap...
"Next one~"
"Well..." Yoshimura Otomo handed over the information, "The next one was discovered by a talent scout, and his name is...Fujiki Naoto"
"Huh?" This name suddenly struck Naoki Nagayama's mind. It was very familiar...
"Do you know Naoki-san?"
"No..." Naoki Nagayama took the information and read it carefully... This person's name appeared in his memory...
When he saw the boy in the photo, Naoki Nagayama finally remembered that this guy turned out to be the actor Hanazawa Lei in Yuki Uchida's version of "Boys Over Flowers"!!! The original Hanazawa Lei...
"Haha, isn't fate coming now?"
Naoki Nagayama smiled. He had robbed the first Hanazawa class in this era... Then give him a leading role in the movie!
So, when Naoto Fujiki walked in, Naoki Nagayama showed him a bad uncle smile:
"Naoto-kun...you are admitted!"
"?"
Not only Naoto Fujiki, but also his father Takuya Fujiki who came with him had a messy expression on his face...
What happened? Why was I admitted without introducing myself? Do we know each other well? Or does this smiling guy in front of me have any intentions?!
Yoshimura Otomo was stunned. He didn't understand why Nagayama Naoki, who just said he didn't know him, suddenly went crazy...
"Naoki-san, you..."
"Otomo-san, this little guy is the perfect match!" Nagayama Naoki patted him on the shoulder, "His guardian happens to be here, let's talk about the contract directly!"
"Then... what about the audition for young actors later?"
"... Just inform them to go back!" Naoki Nagayama didn't want to audition anymore, "Let Xing Jiahua go get some souvenirs in stock to give to them... to express our apologies.
"
"this......"
Before Yoshimura Otomo could react, Naoki Nagayama had already waved Naoto Fujiki to the front.
"Naoto-kun...are you ready to make a movie?"
"Arnold...I just came to the amusement park today and dropped by...I'm not ready yet!"
"It doesn't matter...I wasn't ready when I was filming the movie...hahaha~"
........
Even in the entertainment industry where hot topics are constantly emerging, the use of an airship to celebrate Akina Nakamori's birthday stayed on the headlines for two days.
Akina Nakamori, who is out of town, has also been ridiculed several times through various live broadcast programs.
The audience really wanted to find out who was planning this event, so they asked all the celebrities who were close to Akina in the circle. Of course, some people wanted to interview Naoki Nagayama... But this
The guy completely ignored me!
Doesn’t he need to be exposed? Many media reporters are hating him~
So we began to increase manpower to look for traces of Naoki Nagayama in Tokyo... This led to the fact that after the casting event in the morning, Naoki Nagayama did not dare to drive home directly...
He clearly felt that after he got in the car, a car had been following him from the studio...
"Playing Mission: Impossible?"
Naoki Nagayama saw the van in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but curl his lips. He finally understood why most celebrities hated the paparazzi.
This feeling of being followed...is really uncomfortable!
But how to get rid of them? Drag racing?
That's making fun of life. Naoki Nagayama still thinks that he will live a long and long life!
After thinking for a while, Naoki Nagayama suddenly thought of the KTV in Harajuku...
Ever since it was contacted by the police from Sakurada Gate, the Yakuza from Tokyo, and Shizuoka's grandfather when it opened, there have always been patrols near this KTV... The police station is nearby.
A sentry box was also set up, which greatly improved the safety of Harajuku street.
He glanced at the tightly covered van in the rearview mirror and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"You are unkind, but don't blame me for being unjust!"
As soon as the car turned, it drove towards Harajuku...
.......
"The target seems to be heading towards Shinjuku," the driver said.
"Follow him, don't lose him!" Shimomura Hidetoshi, who has a somewhat wretched mustache and a camera in his hand, "Nagayama Naoki is so mysterious. We must find Nagayama Naoki's residence today!"
"...Hidetoshi, are we becoming stalkers if we follow you like this?" Satoshi Ishizaki said while driving the car, but with a relaxed smile on his face, "If you call the police, you will be arrested.
Right?"
"We are just ordinary tourists, we just take pictures when we see the beautiful scenery...Who knew this is someone else's home~hahaha~" Shimomura Hidetoshi also answered easily.
Both of them are experienced paparazzi and know exactly how to protect themselves in front of the police.
"Huh? He slowed down in Harajuku," Ishizaki said.
"Harajuku? Does Naoki Nagayama live here?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It seems that there is his nightclub here, so come and have a look~"
The two discussed it and saw Naoki Nagayama parked behind Harajuku KTV, so they decided to monitor the intersection.
.......
"Naoki-san~" Tetsuhiro Kurita came over to say hello after seeing Nagayama Naoki.
"Zhehong-kun, has business resumed?"
Naoki Nagayama looked at the hall that had been completely restored to its original state. There was no trace of the filming of "Music Station" here.
"Since the program was allocated, more guests have come!" Kurita Tetsuhiro responded with a smile.
"That couldn't be better~" Naoki Nagayama looked back at the door and saw the van following him, "Tetsuhiro-kun, I came here today to talk about something."
"Hi?"
"You know about the Yamaguchi-gumi fourth generation naming ceremony a few days ago, right?" Nagayama Naoki sat down on the sofa in the hall and motioned for Kurita Tetsuhiro to sit down with him.
"Have you heard...and then it seems that the Yamaguchi-gumi split?"
"Well, the previous acting leader was dissatisfied with the Yondaime, so he established the First Peace Council..." On the second day of the naming ceremony, Yamamoto Hiroshi gathered people who supported him and established the First Peace Council, openly communicating with Yamaguchi.
Group challenge.
"Um...Naoki-san, will this affect us?" Kurita Tetsuhiro knew that his boss had a relationship with the Yamaguchi-gumi.
"It's possible... The local Yamaguchi-gumi chapter in Tokyo has a disagreement with the headquarters, so there may be some fluctuations." Naoki Nagayama looked at the patrol passing by on the street and comforted, "But we are a legitimate industry.
They pay taxes! So if someone comes to cause trouble, just report it to the police directly."
"Zhehong-kun, after such a long period of business, you should be familiar with the police in our neighborhood, right?"
"Ah, hi!" Kurita Tetsuhiro nodded, "Police-san may come over to sing and relax after get off work! I will give you some discounts..."
"Well, it's well done... Due to various reasons, our KTV is highly regarded by the police, so we can take advantage of this."
After Naoki Nagayama briefly reminded him of the emergencies he might encounter later, he had no intention of continuing to stay here. He originally just wanted to get rid of the paparazzi.
"Zhehong-kun, did you see the van across the street?"
"I see it!" Tetsuhiro Kurita looked out the window.
"They should be the paparazzi following me... very annoying." Nagayama Naoki said, "But with their suspicious appearance now, they might be some dangerous elements..."
"This..." Kurita Tetsuhiro suddenly understood what he meant by using the police before, "Hey, Naoki-san, when faced with such a dangerous person, I will report it to the patrolling police officer immediately!"
"Well...a kid can be taught!"
Watching Kurita Tetsuhiro go to the bar and make a phone call, and not long after, the two policemen who were on patrol returned and went directly to the van parked on the roadside.
The two people got out of the car and answered the questions honestly...
After putting on his sunglasses and coming out, he opened the convertible and drove past the two of them. He saw the somewhat angry looks of the two paparazzi.
"Haha~" Nagayama Naoki complained while driving, "This time it's just a small punishment but a big warning. Next time... I will take you directly to Tokyo Bay~"
He had no idea that these two paparazzi would start to focus on him...
