Itou Shuichi hurried into the studio and sat down in the office~
"I'm so exhausted..." This man who still had a lot of literary and artistic flair took a big gulp of water and complained to Otomo Yoshimura across from him, "This guy Naoki ran away by himself and left a lot of things behind.
On my head!"
After Naoki Nagayama won the Film Academy Award again, he also won good results in other film awards, large and small...
Of course he didn't want to collect it himself, but Shuyou still had to work in the film industry, so he had to send Itou Shuichi to collect it on his behalf. At the same time, there were many interviews, interviews, parties, etc., as long as he interacted with the film industry
All related matters were attended by Itou Shuichi.
When I asked him, he said, "Naoki-san went abroad to check out locations... for the next movie."
Yoshimura Otomo laughed: "Isn't this how I came here before~ Shuichi-san, you don't know that Naoki-san doesn't like these things."
"But human resources in the film industry are very important! At such a critical moment!"
Itou Shuichi was still unhappy, but he seemed to have remembered something.
"By the way, Otomo-san...have you found the lobbying team for the Palme d'Or?"
"Of course, I asked the Palme d'Or Asia film selector...and the vice president of the International Federation of Producers to help lobby..."
Yoshimura Otomo is full of confidence. Most of the presidents and members of the International Federation of Producers are well-known producers, but most of them are just in name, and the person who presides over the work is the vice president.
"Oh?" Itou Shuichi was curious, "How much did it cost?"
"It's only 100 million~" Fangcun Otomo said with a smile, "I didn't expect that the vice president would agree so easily."
100 million yen, which is only about 400,000 US dollars according to the current exchange rate. Yoshimura Otomo found a middleman to negotiate. Unexpectedly, the other party was very easy to satisfy. In fact, Yoshimura Otomo's bottom line was 1 million U.S. dollars.
Just saying a few nice words... I guess the vice president didn't expect anyone to be willing to pay so much money. The vice president is a Frenchman who only became famous for making avant-garde movies.
There are so many producers in the world, but not all of them are very profitable~
"That's it~"
Yi Tangxiu nodded without saying much. The lobbying team must not just be looking for one person. There must be many other inputs later.
Thinking of this, he stood up immediately: "No, I still have to contact more famous alumni! Naoki-san is bringing glory to the country, and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology should also support it!"
Ever since Naoki Nagayama announced that he would leave his acceptance speech to the Palme d'Or, everyone in the world knew that he was determined to win the Palme d'Or.
In the neon film industry, no more than one person has ever won an international award. In the early stages of this bubble of rapid economic development, neon's economic level has reached the level of developed countries, but there are still shortcomings in terms of cultural level.
....
Therefore, we attach great importance to international honors. In order to encourage films to go abroad, we have also formulated policies to support the revitalization of films.
If "Kikujiro's Summer" wins the award, then the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology will have achieved a political achievement!
Yoshimura Otomo looked at his friend who ran out again in a hurry, and shook his head... Naoki Nagayama, this guy, can instigate others around even if he is not around...
........
This time....Rio de Janeiro.
Copacabana Beach, a world-famous beach!
Waves of waves crash against the 4.5-kilometer-long beach. The snow-white waves blend with the fine white sand, welcoming tourists from all over the world under the warm temperatures all year round.
Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori are here today~
This is not a swimsuit photography, so Akina is not wearing a sexy bikini, but a loose yellow floral dress, posing in the sea breeze.
Some of the team members next to me were holding reflectors, some were holding cameras, some were holding cosmetics, and some were holding...well, colorful cocktails and fruit platters...
Yes, Naoki Nagayama has become a waiter serving drinks, serving drinks and fruits in time to replenish energy when his girlfriend is taking a break to touch up her makeup.
"Hey, Naoki-san, open your mouth~"
Nakamori Akina smiled and used a small toothpick to pick out a piece of mango, and she didn't forget to feed it to her boyfriend when she was eating it.
Naoki Nagayama naturally ate it without hesitation~
The team members next to them turned their heads in disgust. Since working in the morning, this pair has not avoided other people at all! One moment they take a sip of soda, the next they eat a piece of fruit, and next they have to share an ice cream.
La!
Could it be that the warm and relaxing atmosphere of South America made these two people completely forget that they were here to work?
The process of shooting a star's cover is very cumbersome. Sometimes one pose has to be taken multiple times, sometimes it has to be taken while taking action, and sometimes it has to be taken specifically to take pictures of the protagonist's daily life...
Akina Nakamori, accompanied by Naoki Nagayama, found various angles on the beach...
Of course, Naoki Nagayama is not just a younger brother. He also carries a camera himself and will take pictures by himself when he sees nice scenery. Sometimes Akina Nakamori will come over to help take a few pictures~
Sometimes:
"Honda Nobu An-san, please help us take a group photo!"
Nagayama Naoki smiled and handed the camera to the professional photographer Honda Nobuyasu, and asked him to help take a photo of himself and Akina~ There were obviously professional people around, so of course you couldn't miss it!!!
Honda Shinyasu took it over silently. Faced with the guy who took everyone to a high-end restaurant for dinner last night, he really couldn't say no to him...
The background is the blue sky, blue sea, and a line-like beach... In the camera, Akina, wearing a bright dress, is leaning next to Nagayama Naoki, with a bright smile on her face. Bie puts her hands on her face, and...
He raised one foot playfully.
Next to him, Naoki Nagayama, who was wearing a floral shirt, put one hand around Akina's slender waist to help stabilize her figure, and then used the other hand to kiss her in a tacky way... with the same bright look on his face.
Smile~
With a click, this scene was recorded!
Honda Shinyasu is still sighing, it would be great if Akina could use this picture on the cover... Such a happy smile comes from the heart!
"Naoki-san, change your posture! Be cooler!" While he was still sighing, the photographer heard Akina Nakamori directing the people next to her, "Biye is too cliche!"
Nagayama Naoki asked: "What should we do...shall we show love together?"
"It's not impossible..."
After saying that, the two guys started gesticulating again, laughing from time to time~
Honda Shinyasu suddenly felt that he had eaten too much... He will definitely gain weight after this trip!
.........
In a high school in Osaka, high school student Yuna Matsuda was discussing the plot of "Love Century" she had watched with her best friend.
"Teppei clearly hasn't forgotten Sanae in high school!" Matsuda Yuna said quite openly, "Can't he see that Riko has fallen in love with him?!"
My best friend Yumina Nakagawa understands very well:
"It's my first love. Of course I won't forget it. I'll probably never forget it for the rest of my life!"
"But... Sanae is going to marry Teppei's brother Shoichiro!!" Matsuda Yuna said fiercely, "Then she becomes a sister-in-law! How will we get along with each other in the future?!"
"Isn't it just 'sister-in-law is my first girlfriend'~" Yumina Nakagawa said calmly, "Ah, no, it's 'brother-in-law is my first boyfriend'!"
Matsuda Yuna slapped her best friend on the head who looked a little offended: "Yumi-chan, wake up! Don't think so wrongly!!!"
"...But, it's obviously very exciting..."
"Baga, you are a high school student! Why do you have so many strange thoughts in your mind!" Matsuda Yuna hit Yuna Nakagawa on the head again and again with her homework book, causing her best friend's head to scatter.
"...Stop fighting~ I'm just a little more mature than you..."
"You've already mastered this! Stop reading those weird books and books!"
"I can't do anything!" Nakagawa Yumina covered her head and expressed her final stubbornness!
Matsuda Yuna didn't know what to say to her best friend. Ever since she entered high school, this guy seemed to have fallen into a yellow dye bucket, dyeing herself yellow quickly!
After putting down her homework, Matsuda Yuna found the topic:
"Also, in last Friday's episode, Takagi clearly knew that his friend Riko liked Zheping, and he showed his love to Zheping! He was really not a friend enough!"
"The key is that Teppei followed Takagi home after that!" Nakagawa Yumina immediately added fuel to the fire, with a somewhat excited expression, "If Riko hadn't been on Takagi's bed, then the two of them would have had sex!"
"...You are hopeless!" Matsuda Yuna was helpless.
Then he said: "No matter what, these relationships are too complicated!!! This guy Zheping is also very unscrupulous!!!"
"Yeah~" Nakagawa Yumina nodded in agreement.
Matsuda Yuna became angrier as she talked, and slammed the table: "I'm going to call Fuji TV... They're really ruining an innocent relationship by filming like this!!"
"Eh? Do you want to make a call?"
"Of course, I want to scold the screenwriter! Why did he write it in such a mess?"
"The screenwriter is Naoki Nagayama!"
"Ah, playboy Naoki! It turns out that only a scumbag would write such a plot!"
Matsuda Yuna complained to Nagayama Naoki who didn't know where he was for several minutes, and then suddenly found that she didn't get a response... She turned around and saw her best friend flipping through a book.
"Yumi-chan, what are you looking at?"
Nakagawa Yumuna raised the book mysteriously: "The latest banned book! - "Paradise Lost""
"?what book?"
"Now, let's see!" Nakagawa Yuna handed the book to Matsuda Yuna, and then looked at her expression with a smirk.
"The cover is very simple~ It looks like a literary book!"
After Matsuda Yuna took the book, she opened it casually. As soon as she saw the first chapter, her expression became strange, and then she closed it instantly and stared at her best friend.
"What kind of big pervert is this that would write such a little emperor's letter!!!"
........
When "Century of Love" became more and more popular, a very simple novel suddenly appeared in various bookstores.
On the white cover, there is only the name "Paradise Lost" and the confusing author - Sato.
"Who is this guy? New guy?"
Customers visiting bookstores sometimes ask this question, but the clerk doesn't know.
"I've never heard of it...but when the Shogakukan delivered it, they said they wanted to tweet it..."
"Oh thick?" The guest became interested, then opened the book and started reading.
Generally, at this time, guests’ reactions are divided into three types:
The first type is when the customer's expression changes, he quickly closes the book, and then sighs in embarrassment...usually it's a female customer.
In the second type, the customer's face changed, his breathing became rapid, and then he quickly closed the book. He looked left and right, extremely confused, then walked to the cashier with a blushing face, and whispered: "This is the book that's troublesome..."
The third type is that the customer looks calm, as if he has read an ordinary novel, then walks to the cashier without saying a word, pays quickly and leaves~
The latter two types are available to both male and female customers~
Tokyo's literary circle seemed to have been pierced by a certain novel all of a sudden. Famous writers and critics were very curious about who the author of "Paradise Lost" was...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Such a erotic but not obscene writing style is unique and has never been written before in the entire literary circle!
And judging from the choice of words and sentences, it is obvious that he has a strong personal style, maybe he is writing his own story...
At the end of the day, he died for love...it was really in line with Neon's culture of mourning~
"It can't be the author's autobiography. The author has committed suicide in love!" "Have you not heard such news recently?"
"Who is the author?"
"...."
Similar questions are endless.
And because the final love story was so beautifully written, some critics have already written their review in newspapers - "This novel may trigger a trend of love love!"
.......
Kuniji Morikawa, the director of Shogakukan, has no peace at work during this period.
"Kuniji-san...Good morning!" Reiki Nozawa and Mitsuko Nishihara, the glasses girls at the front desk, looked at him a little strangely when they greeted him.
"Morning..." Kuniji Morikawa hurriedly walked upstairs without looking at the two of them.
On the way to the office, the baby-faced editorial assistant Yuya Furuya walked up to him with sharp eyes:
"Kuniji-san! Who is Sato?! Please tell me!"
"have no idea!"
Kuniji Morikawa wanted to bypass him and go to the office, but Yuya Furuya did not give up at all.
"It's impossible. I've already asked the printing house. It's Bangzhi Sauna who does the typesetting and printing!"
Seeing that he couldn't get around it, Morikawa Kunji could only say:
"The author requested confidentiality! I can't tell you!"
Furuya Yuya's face was full of disbelief, and his eyes began to become strange: "Kuniji-san, the rumors are not true, are they?!"
"What rumors?" Morikawa Kuniji was stunned.
"Everyone is saying that this novel may have been written by Kunji-san!" Yuya Furuya looked suspicious, "Because the protagonist is a senior editor of a publishing house, and he is gentle..."
"..." Kuniji Morikawa said nothing and pushed away the assistant who was still struggling, "I told you it's not me!"
Looking at the back of his direct boss leaving in a hurry, his face showed the expression "There is only one truth"!
And here, after Kuniji Morikawa walked into the office, he fell down on the seat and slapped his forehead helplessly...
"Naoki-san, Naoki-san... you really left me with a big problem!!!"
Since the release of "Paradise Lost", everyone who knew he was responsible came to ask him who the author was, and due to the protagonist's editor status, the suspicion that he was the author even spread to his home.
His wife is also an insider. Last night, his wife asked him with a strange expression...if he was having an extramarital affair!
He also asked in an accusatory tone why he didn't have sex with her... was he just with that extramarital affair...
As a result, Morikawa Kunji had to pay public food three times...
"Naoki-san...if I can't keep the secret, don't blame me..."
