693. Is Naoki-san actually secretly making unspoken rules for female idols?!
...
The headquarters of TV Asahi has a glass exterior wall, which emits dazzling reflections under the sun, giving it a very strong presence.
When Nagayama Naoki arrived here, he drove directly into the parking lot and went directly from the underground elevator to the studio of "Music Station".
After opening the door, I heard loud music and dancing... During the rehearsal, although they did not wear special costumes, the youth team still rehearsed the dance seriously on the stage.
"Naoki-san, why are you here?" One of the producers, Motokatsu Okawa, first discovered Naoki Nagayama.
"I'm still interested in the third period, so I came over to take a look." Naoki Nagayama said while watching the performance on stage, "The three members of the youth team are really very energetic~"
"Hey, I heard that the youth team's reputation grew very quickly after the first two periods..."
"Haha, after all, we have a permanent program." Naoki Nagayama suddenly remembered the amazing performance of Johnny's Future Light GENJI group, "If you want to make a splash, you can let the members of the youth team wear transparent clothes.
Come out and try dancing."
"Transparent?" Okawa Yuankatsu opened his eyes wide, "Does it mean naked?"
At this moment, the sight of the three youth team members wearing transparent clothes flashed through Okawa Motokatsu's mind. He felt a chill, had bad thoughts about Nagayama Naoki, and quietly moved away from him.
Nagayama Naoki quickly explained: "Of course not, just wear it on the upper body... It will cause a sensation."
"This is no longer a sensation, it involves astringent feelings!!!" Okawa Yuankatsu said nervously.
"Aren't you wearing clothes?"
"It's transparent! It's more tempting!"
Black threads welled up in Naoki Nagayama's head. He didn't want to discuss the difference between a fling and a romantic relationship with Motokatsu Okawa here: "Forget it, I'll just say it casually, Johnny's agent estimates
I won’t agree to it either. Let’s not continue~”
".......Hi!"
Okawa Motokatsu nodded, but I always felt that the image was hard to dissipate in my mind...
Nagayama Naoki saw that the opening dance of the youth team had ended, and then Tamori started to host, so he asked:
"The guest this time is Hideki Nishiro, right?"
"Hi."
"The video of the interview has been completed, right? Did it go well?"
"Hey, everyone is very cooperative," said Okawa Motokatsu. It seems that everyone sees the potential of "Music Station" and is unwilling to be abandoned by this program.
"But there's something..." Motokatsu Okawa glanced at Naoki Nagayama's face and asked cautiously, "Because our next guest plan is to invite Johnny's idol, so Johnny's manager wants to
Let Kondo Masahiko come to participate..."
Nagayama Naoki frowned, why did he hear this name again! Sure enough, he should be allowed to sink to Tokyo Bay as early as possible!
"I don't like that guy." Naoki Nagayama answered clearly, "So "Music Station" will not invite him. If Johnny must use this to embarrass us, he is the only male idol, but
Johnny & Associates is not the only company for other singers and artists..."
"Hey, I got it!"
With such a clear reply, Okawa Yuankatsu now understood the firm attitude of the young man in front of him. At the same time, he cursed Johnny's manager in his heart. He knew that there was such a big conflict between his idol and the person in charge of the program, but he still proposed it.
Let Kondo Masahiko participate?
This is embarrassing for me!
While the two were chatting, Naoki Nagayama's arrival was finally noticed by more people in the studio.
All of a sudden, familiar male idols such as Toshihiko Tahara and other male idols from the youth team came over to say hello, as well as female idols such as Yoshie Kashiwahara and Nana Okada who had worked with them, and even some artists whom they didn’t know at first but had often seen them on TV, also came to meet them.
For a moment.
When he was a well-known writer, musician, director, etc., people in the entertainment industry would at most be surprised when they saw him, showing respect, and a small number of them would want to come over and make friends... Completely
It didn't have the popularity it has today.
After becoming the person in charge of a well-known variety show, people in the entertainment industry know that this is the person who can decide whether the show invites them. In other words, he is the person who can decide the frequency of his exposure and can have a direct impact on his fame.
.
This is why everyone comes to make friends. If you want to leave a good impression, at least it can't be in person...
"This is the first time we meet. My name is Yukiko Okada! Please take good care of me in the future!"
Just when Naoki Nagayama couldn't remember it, a sweet girl introduced herself to Naoki Nagayama under the guidance of her manager.
"Okada Yukiko?" Nagayama Naoki looked at this handsome and innocent idol, a little surprised, "So it's you!"
"...Huh?" Okada Yukiko's eyes were a little awkward and shy, "Does Naoki-san know me?"
"I heard it from a friend." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "She said you are an idol with great potential..."
"Eh?"
Naoki Nagayama thought about the future and this young girl committed suicide by jumping off a building. It’s really a pity~
"In short... Be positive and optimistic, don't climb the stairs, work hard! Just give birth to a daddy!"
Just when Okada Yukiko wanted to ask who spoke so highly of her, other idols handed over their business cards, which diverted Naoki Nagayama's attention.
"Why does he say to be positive and optimistic and not to climb stairs?"
"What a strange person~"
Nagayama Naoki finished watching today's rehearsal in the studio and has some ideas for tomorrow night's live broadcast. After the first few episodes, the next step should be to keep it up. In addition to the idol circle, the invited guests should also be expanded.
.....
I think in the entertainment industry, Hibari Misora can be invited over... and from abroad, it would be great if Madonna can be invited over... But others are already American queens, so they may not remember the time they met her.
What's the fate~
.......
While Naoki Nagayama was overseeing the production of new programs at TV Asahi, a team at Fuji TV was in trouble.
Akimoto Yasushi looked at the fluctuating ratings this week and sighed:
"Da Taisang, the ratings of "Dusk Meow Meow" have stopped going up."
Sugiura Otai also pressed his temples irritably: "I can't help it, the program is broadcast every day..."
If a variety show has to be broadcast every day, it will be a very serious test for the production team, and also for the contestants... and for the audience, it is also very easy to fall into sensory fatigue.
"Taitai-san, why don't you make a finale of the first season like other variety shows, and then take a break to let the audience and us recover temporarily?" Nishi Rumi suggested from the side.
""Twilight Meow" is different from them!" Sugiura Oyasu said, "This program is like a chariot that needs to keep moving forward. When it stops, the program will stop!"
"This is what Naoki-san said when he first planned the program!"
A fast-paced entertainment variety show like "Dusk Meow" actually just occupies a first-mover advantage and attracts all the attention of informal idols in the current market.
Freshness is the only selling point of this variety show. Compared with orthodox idols, the fans of Kitten Club idols do not have high loyalty and are easily replaced...because the members of Kitten Club themselves are constantly
replacement.
"If we stop, the loss of fans will be serious...and you can guarantee that if we stop this week, three or four similar variety shows will suddenly appear on other TV stations next week!"
Nishi Rumi did not expect such consequences and stopped talking after listening.
After being silent for a long time, Sugiura Otai thought for a long time and finally said: "We still need to consult Naoki-san!"
When Qiu Yuanyasu heard this, he originally looked a little dissatisfied, but as if he thought of something, he suddenly became depressed.
"Well...you should definitely consult."
"But Naoki-san should focus on the TV Asahi program now, right?" Nishirumi said, "Will he still give advice to one of the competing TV stations?"
Yasushi Akimoto and Otasu Sugiura looked at each other and were about to say that "Twilight Meow Meow" was also his show, but they both shut up again.
When this program was first planned, Naoki Nagayama did have relatively large authority. However, later on, especially when the director, Kazuki Takano, wanted to increase the proportion of Fuji TV, Naoki Nagayama no longer had the title of producer or supervisor.
, not to mention that the tree friend’s shares in the Kitty Club are only 10%.
The ratings for a program that is once a month can only be considered good. If the management of the station did not value it, it might be regarded as a dispensable program.
Akimoto Yasushi said: "It was a show to save face, it was for the Ministry of Culture... and it also had some political influence..."
"I remember that program. Now the content is led by people from the National Freedom Association and Shogakukan. We are only responsible for the production... But Naoki-san is indeed one of the producers of that program." Sugiura Oyasu said,
"He just hasn't been here for a long time."
"As expected, I agree with Naoki-san's personality. Once the program is on track, I won't care about it anymore..." Yasushi Akimoto sighed.
"It's almost the end of the month, so it's easy to ask Naoki-san to come here in the name of that show..." Nishirumi asked again: "Then how do we get Naoki-san to give suggestions to "Dusk Meow Meow"?
"
"This..." Otasu Sugiura once again regretted the unpleasantness between him and Naoki-san.
At this moment, Akimoto Yasu struggled and said:
"Naoki-san is a guy who attaches great importance to potential talents. Do you still remember the little Hidden Maki Kaoru from before?"
"Is she the heroine of the recent movie "Love Will End"?" Nishi Rumi said immediately, "I saw it in the cinema, and she looked completely different from how she looked in the Kitty Club!"
"Yes." Yasushi Akimoto considered it for a moment and continued, "Naoki-san became obsessed with the little bitumaki after watching it on Fuji TV. After I found out, I contacted Etsurou Kikuchi to send him to the tree.
Under the banner of Friends, she was chosen as the heroine in the next movie..."
"It was at that time that Naoki-san pointed out the style problem of "Dusk Meow Meow"...and suggested a rebellious style..."
Nishi Rumi had no idea what was going on behind this, and she opened her mouth at this moment: "Akimoto-san, you actually exchanged your idol for it?!"
Is this the legendary pillow business?!
Is Naoki-san actually secretly unspoken about female idols?! I really misjudged him!
Nishi Rumi's impression of Nagayama Naoki is constantly crumbling... Fortunately, Sugiura Oyasu quickly explained:
"Nishi Rumi, don't think too much! Naoki-san just has the vision to explore the potential of idols... Didn't Obitari Maki Kaoru shine in the movie?!"
"...."
Nishi Rumi looked at the two men across from her with suspicion. In short, there is no way to get away with exchanging resources with her artists!
"Ahem..." Otae Sugiura tried to remain calm, "Akimoto-san, why are you talking about this?"
"During previous contacts..." Yasushi Akimoto gestured to a poster on the wall and pointed at one of the contestants, "I found that Naoki-san was very interested in Shizuka Kudo...
..."
Sugiura Otai touched his chin: "What do you mean?"
"Why don't we consider the declining ratings of "Dusk Meow" as a reason for Shizuka Kudo to 'graduate' to Shuyu... Please Naoki-san analyze the program again!"
Akimoto Yasu said without blushing and without a beating heart, although Kudo Shizuka is currently one of the very popular members of the Kitty Club, in his heart at this time, Kudo Shizuka is no different from a commodity.
"Well....."
Otasu Sugiura thought about it, a potential contestant was given a new lease of life by changing programs... This exchange...
Very cost-effective!
"Okay...then that's it!"
Two guys who really have the decision-making power decided whether Kudo Shizuka should stay or go.
"Nishirumi-san~" Otasu Sugiura's tone became gentle, "I would also like to trouble you to contact Naoki-san..."
Nishi Rumi was still calming down from just now, and felt a little unhappy when she heard this: "You made the decision, and you actually want me to tell it?"
"After all, you are relatively familiar with Naoki-san..." Otasu Sugiura said with a smile, "Besides, you are a woman..."
"?!"
Xi Rumei's eyes narrowed slightly. If he dared to say that he was a vase, don't blame yourself for getting angry!
"She's still a beauty!" Sugiura Otai quickly added, "And as we all know, Naoki-san is... very patient with beautiful women..."
Yasushi Akimoto was also advising from the side: "What Taisang and I said was a bit awkward... I can only trouble Nishirumi-san!"
"..."
This statement made Nishimi feel a little better, but... the thought of telling Nagayama Naoki that she wanted to send him a female idol... was really hard to open her mouth!
But...after all, in the workplace, you always have to do some embarrassing things!
At this time, in the studio downstairs of Fuji TV, the members of the Kitten Club were filming the indoor part of the new issue of "Twilight Meow Meow". Among the dedicated contestants, there was one who had a very unique personality that made him laugh.
A player that people remember at a glance.
She was with her companions and showed a bright smile in front of the camera~
Kudo Shizuka still doesn’t know that she has been promised to Naoki Nagayama by the superiors...
But for Kudo Shizuka, maybe this is a rare opportunity! After all, the current development trend of all tree friends’ idols is very good...
