Fuji TV is indeed one of the largest comprehensive media companies in the industry, and everyone is extremely well-informed.
Seiko Matsuda had just accepted an interview and boarded a plane to the United States. The news had already spread on the TV stations before even being distributed in newspapers.
“It’s less than half a month!” “How bold!” “Aren’t you afraid of losing followers?!”
No idol's scandal has ever caused such a big disturbance, and no top female idol has dared to be so decisive and resolute in love...
The original golden boy had no choice but to break up, which can be said to be a tragedy, but the woman announced her next love partner in a short period of time... half a month. Counting previous relationships, it can be considered a seamless connection.
Come on!
It can even be considered cheating!
The neon entertainment industry is very tolerant of male relationships, but it is really harsh on women. Being labeled as cheating or emotionally unfaithful will be unacceptable to a large number of fans even if they are not married.

Nagayama Naoki sighed silently in his heart, maybe after marrying Kanda Masaki in a flash, and then having children directly, this was part of the reason to avoid such limelight!
"Naoki-san?" Nishirumi came to the side, "Did you already know about it before?"
"Eh? Me?" Nagayama Naoki asked in confusion, "How would I know? I'm not familiar with Seiko-san..."
"Then why are you not surprised at all, and instead look calm?" Xi Rumei discovered the blind spot very keenly, "It feels like you already knew it, so you are confident!"
"...."
Nagayama Naoki was helpless, is a girl’s sixth sense so keen?
"You're thinking too much...I just didn't react~"
"...Hmph~"
Nishi Rumi made a strange snort, but did not continue to ask further questions, but continued to share gossip with her friends in the company.
Naoki Nagayama stayed in the office for a while, chatted with Otasu Sugiura and others before leaving. He found a random place to have lunch at noon, and then drove back to the studio.
"Kijima-kun, the broadcast time has been decided, it will be the first Friday in February." Nagayama Naoki first went to inform Kijima Kyun in the editing room, "So I have to work hard this week and finish the first three episodes.
Photograph it!”
"Hi, Naoki-san, I will step up the shooting!"
Kijima Kyor was excited, but still showed the restraint of a mature director and responded calmly.
"Well, remember to give the promotional short film and other materials to Fuji TV~" Naoki Nagayama gave his contact information to Kijima Kyon, "I will go to Fuji TV more often in the future to get more familiar with it!"
"Hi!"
After returning to the office, Nagayama Naoki, Itou Shuichi and Yoshimura Otomo shared the news they had just received.
"Todoroki?!" "You actually admitted it in public? It's really... amazing!"
After hearing the news about Seiko Matsuda, the two of them looked at Nagayama Naoki in great surprise...
"Why are you looking at me?"
Itou Shuichi said: "Speaking of which, Naoki-san, after you officially announced your relationship with Akina Nakamori, it seems that artists are becoming more bold in dating..."
"???" Can you rely on me for this?
Yoshimura Otomo also nodded: "Yes, even though Yamaguchi Momoe and Miura Yuka's relationship has been an open secret, except for the last time they got married, there was no official announcement...the closest thing to an official announcement.
Yes, it seems that Yamaguchi Momoe said it at the concert...
'Now, I have a specific lover... This person is older than me, less than thirty years old. If you name him, everyone knows him.'"
Yoshimura Otomo vividly simulated what Momoe Yamaguchi said at her solo concert. That was the closest thing ever... Artists in the 1980s, for the sake of fame, would hide things they were dating.
of.....
Even if everyone knows, they remain silent in front of the media...
Some artists do it not to lose fans, while others do it to stir up scandals with others... Playing with ambiguity is also a good way to increase topics and exposure...
How can it be like Naoki Nagayama who openly told the media, "Akina Nakamori is my girlfriend..."
However, it seems that Nagayama Naoki broke this tacit understanding, causing Matsuda Seiko to even officially announce their breakup. I wonder if there will be artists making official announcements about their private lives in the future...
"...."
Listening to the analysis of the two people, if Naoki Nagayama didn't know the inside story, he might have thought that he really broke the first window~
"Forget it, let it be whatever you say~" Nagayama Naoki decided not to explain, it's hard to explain~
.......
For people in the entertainment industry, chatting about gossip news is enough for a while. There are so many new hot topics every day, and it is impossible to immerse yourself in them!
After Nagayama Naoki chatted with the two people for a while, he returned to business.
"Shuichi-san..." Naoki Nagayama was thinking about the upcoming film awards, "I remember that the Blue Ribbon and Academy Awards will be announced in early February, right?"
"Hi! I've already asked about it. "Summer of Kikujiro" will definitely be shortlisted!" Itou Xiu nodded, and then laughed, "By the way, Naoki-san, I went to an acquaintance to inquire and found something.
Strange thing~"
"?"
"Naoki-san's "The Summer of Kikujiro" has been nominated for so many awards... Actually, it is because there is a strange consensus among the judges..." Itou Shuichi raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.
It was a little weird, "They all thought that others would not choose this movie..."
"Why is this?" Naoki Nagayama was curious.
"Because there is an unspoken rule that you cannot win the Blue Ribbon Award and the Academy Award consecutively..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Itou Shuichi still asked many judges to get the result.
"They all thought that others would definitely not choose it, but "The Summer of Kikujiro" is so good that if they didn't choose it, they would feel sorry for the film industry, so for their own peace of mind, they checked it...
Hahaha, in the end, we somehow reached a consensus and this movie was shortlisted for most awards!"
"This..." Nagayama Naoki became more and more surprised, "They are... tsk tsk tsk~"
"Hahaha, this means that God wants "Kikujiro's Summer" to win the award!" Itou Shuichi was extremely happy. This feeling of having the right time, place and people on our side is really great!
"Haha~"
Nagayama Naoki shook his head. He was not too excited about this. Academy awards and blue ribbons were no longer his pursuits.
"Shuichi-san, how is the nomination for the Palme d'Or going? Is there any news?"
Itou Shuichi calmed down his smile and began to talk about the judging of the Palme d'Or:
"The film has been submitted to the review committee... It is currently in the preliminary review stage, but there are definitely no problems and it can go into review."
"In the review stage... I remember that the committee judges were watching the movie and discussing it in a villa?"
"No, that is the final stage. The members of the jury will decide the awards from the shortlisted films..." Shuichi Itou replied.
"I see....."
"This is also the stage where we need to work hard!" Itou Shuichi suggested at this time, "Naoki-san, although my mentor has many connections in the neon film industry, the members of the jury at the Cannes Film Festival are more
There are more directors and producers from Europe..."
"It means we need people who can conquer the European film industry..."
"Yes...Shuyou Pictures is still young after all and has no experience in this industry..."
Itou Xiuyi sighed, it was fine in normal times, but when it comes to the selection of such international awards, they have very few resources to make friends...
Not to mention Shochiku and Toei, even the relatively late Kadokawa Pictures inherited the foundation of Daiei Co., Ltd.... At least in terms of directors, they have many veteran directors with deep qualifications and wide network of friends.
And Shuyou Pictures...is full of plans, but there are only four guys who can be called directors~
"Oh...it seems like I have to contact old friends again~" Nagayama Naoki shook his head and could only decide to drink more flower wine with Kadokawa Haruki and drink tea with Kobayashi Masaki.
"Xiu Yisang, you should also visit your mentor more often!"
"Hey, it's already being done!" Yitou Shuichi lit a cigarette and nodded calmly.
Yoshimura Otomo, who was sitting on the sidelines and listening, suddenly discovered that Naoki Nagayama had not assigned him a task... "Naoki-san? What about me? What should I do?"
"Otomo-san?" Nagayama Naoki looked at him, not knowing what to say for a moment... It seems that Otomo-san can't help!
"Otomo-san, this is a matter in the film industry, you can't help~~~" Itou Shuichi waved his hand, "You don't have any acquaintances in the film industry..."
"???"
Hearing this, Fangcun Dayou couldn't stand it anymore.
"Shuiichi-san, Naoki-san, I don't accept what you say! Kadokawa Haruki is the one who helped pull the strings!"
"This is indeed Otomo-san's contribution~" Naoki Nagayama agreed.
Itou Shuichi said: "But except for Haruki-san, there should be no other Otomo-san..."
"You actually underestimate me?! I am Otomo Yoshimura, who is known as the 'social butterfly in the entertainment industry'!!!" Otomo Yoshimura immediately retorted!
"..."
The other two were silent. With a title like "social butterfly in the entertainment industry", forget it if you are a woman. Don't you feel ashamed, Otomo-san?!
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Yoshimura Otomo immediately started talking non-stop:
"Last week, I happened to participate in a high-end salon in the film industry and met many internationally renowned film critics..."
"Akidou Sack, a high-end salon in the film industry, how come I don't know about it?" Itou Shuichi feels that he is already one of the big names in the film industry... Logically speaking, shouldn't he be invited to this kind of salon?
?Or Naoki-san?
"Ahem, the so-called high-end salon... is actually just going to a high-end club to drink wine..."
"..."
Hey hey hey, Otomo-san, when you say this, your level suddenly becomes low!
"Ahem, in short, I made a lot of good friends there, and we became brothers after drinking..." Otomo Yoshimura continued.
Nagayama Naoki nodded, they are definitely good brothers... one of the four great irons!
"But, after we just met, you can ask them to help? That's a selection at the Cannes Film Festival..." Itou Shuichi continued.
"Of course this won't work...but!" Yoshimura Otomo whetted the appetite of the two of them, "One of them is a project manager from the Cannes Film Festival!"
A large film festival like Cannes has eyes and ears all over the world! It has dedicated project staff and local film scouts who are responsible for tracking films from all over the world throughout the year.
This kind of film festival also has a special type of people with broad connections, called "lobbyists". They are similar to lobbying groups in European and American elections. They are all paid to do things...
"Naoki-san...we can spend a little money..." Yoshimura Otomo showed an expression that everyone understands. This is not something that can be done with ordinary public relations money...
Nagayama Naoki thought for a while: "..... Spend it... I'll give you a budget of 1 billion..."
Winning at the Cannes Film Festival is not just a simple award, it also has real benefits.
The Cannes Film Festival is the world's largest film trading market, with nearly 5,000 news media from around the world gathered here...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Award-winning films will gain worldwide exposure, and can also gain access to the film market in other countries...
No country would refuse to introduce a Palme d'Or winning film!
This will bring wider box office and other benefits to the movie!
"Hi!" Yoshimura Otomo nodded, and then looked at Itou Shuichi proudly, "Sure enough, I can help!"
"..." Itou Shuichi was speechless~
"Hahaha, sure enough, I declare that Otomo-san deserves the title of Shuyu's strongest tool man!" Nagayama Naoki joked with a smile~
At this time, Yoshimura Otomo's original proud smile froze, but a smile appeared on Itou Shuichi's face...
"Hahaha, Otomo-san doesn't know why you are so happy..."
"Shuiichi-san!!!"
In the small office, Quan Wuxing's voice sounded again!
.........
In the production bureau of TBS, a planning meeting for a program is being held.
"The target of pranks in this first issue is Nakamori Akina!" Producer Naoyuki Utsumi said, "A top-notch idol with a very upright personality, who can easily be pranked, may also achieve very good results.
Effect....."
"If it scares her to tears, maybe the ratings will soar..."
Neon's prank variety shows have always been very fun, and sometimes they don't even know the guests themselves, so as to create the most realistic effect...
Utsumi Naoyuki has pranked many male and female artists before, even idols such as Toshihiko Tahara and Kyoko Koizumi have also pranked...
Now he has set his sights on the most popular people in the entertainment industry!
"But..." One team member raised his hand to speak. Shirakawa Naoyuki looked at Utsumi and said, "Nakamori Akina seems to have stopped accepting programs other than audio programs this year?"
"?" There was an accident going straight in the inner sea, "What do you mean?"
"I happened to be in charge of the production of a program before, and the program team called Yanyin to invite... They said that Nakamori Akina is currently focusing on the music field, and has reduced arrangements for comedy and other variety shows...
.”
Shirakawa Naoyuki described the results of the previous communication. Although he said it very euphemistically, it meant that he would not accept such small announcements!
"Haha, don't worry, yours must be less famous..." Utsumi Naoxing was full of confidence, "My prank show is famous throughout the country, and Yanyin will definitely not refuse it!"
"...."
Shirakawa Naoyuki looked at Utsumi, who was full of confidence, walking straight ahead and stopped talking.
"Besides, we are TBS. If Akina Nakamori dares to refuse, will she be on TBS's TV show "THE BEST TEN" in the future?!"
"...."
Shirakawa Naoyuki continued not to speak...
It sounds like you can decide who can be on "THE BEST TEN"...
You'll find out after you contact her... Maybe people don't care about it... You know, TV Asahi's "Music Station" is her boyfriend's program!
