As soon as the exotic "Meu amoré" appeared on the singing stage, it added a strange flower to the already blooming music scene.
Obviously everyone is playing rock and disco, why do some people suddenly start playing Latin style?
And because of this song, Akina Nakamori's transformation from an idol singer to a pop singer has become more and more obvious. Some media are even discussing that if Akina Nakamori leaves the throne of female idol, then the next successor will be
who.....
"Sure enough, it's Okada Yukiko~" Akina Nakamori murmured while reading the newspaper.
"What's wrong with Yukiko Okada?" Nagayama Naoki asked curiously as he brought the coffee.
"That is to say, if Akina Nakamori stops being an idol, then the next top idol's successor will definitely be Yukiko Okada!" Akina Nakamori took the newspaper and pointed to Naoki Nagayama to analyze the report.
"Haha, it's true that there is a bit of a lack of talent in the idol world right now..."
Nagayama Naoki laughed. Since a few years ago, waves of idols have appeared like a blowout. While the flowers are dazzling, the good and the bad have also begun to vary, which has caused the public's perception of idols to drop a lot. Those who can really support the idol's name
The descendants are simply handful.
Coupled with the oversupply of new idols, the idol industry has completely changed from a blue ocean to a red ocean. Under the effect of bad money driving out good money, there will be a trough known as the "ten-year freeze period in the idol industry".
Woolen cloth!
Nakamori Akina said vaguely while eating breakfast: "There is obviously Seiko-chan in the idol world~the eternal idol..."
Naoki Nagayama shook his head. Soon, Seiko Matsuda and Masaki Kanda will announce their marriage, and then they will give birth to children and retire...
However, from the perspective of the current entertainment industry, it is indeed very surprising. After all, Matsuda Seiko said some time ago that he is career-focused, so how could there be such a thing as a flash marriage and retirement.
"Dudu~~"
Just when the two were about to talk, a rhythmic trumpet sounded at the door of Yamazakura-in. Akina Nakamori, who was sitting at the dining table, immediately knew that it was the signal for Akiko Fusunori's arrival.
Since these days are the period of new songs and songs, Akina's schedule is very busy and she will go out very early in the morning.
"Ah, Fang Nori-san is here!" Nakamori Akina hurriedly drank the coffee and stuck out her tongue because it was burned. Then she put on her coat and walked towards the entrance in a hurry, "Naoki-san, I'm going out!"
"Bon Voyage...."
After his girlfriend's figure disappeared outside the door, Nagayama Naoki continued to eat breakfast slowly.
I saw the title in the report and started thinking about the future development of the entertainment industry.
"Speaking of which, Shizuka Kudo and Rie Miyazawa are both under the names of tree friends..." Naoki Nagayama suddenly remembered these two people, "Can... we can do some operations?"
The ten-year ice age of idols...maybe it will be a good opportunity for tree friends to rise against the trend!
........
In the spring breeze of March, Naoki Nagayama drove his convertible sports car and slowly arrived at Shuyou's studio.
"Naoki-san...." "Naoki-san, good morning!" "Good morning~"
As if they were used to it, when Shuyou employees saw Naoki Nagayama, who only came in the morning, they all bowed and said hello, while Naoki Nagayama nodded slightly and walked towards the office.
"Otomo-san..." Looking both ways, it turned out that Shuichi Itou was still not there. "Did Shuichi-san go to check out the location of "Squid Game" or the script for a new movie?"
When I was at Sansakuin that day, I told Shuichi Itou about making a movie to prevent pornography. As a slave to his daughter, he took this matter to heart, and after he came back, he began to invite screenwriters to write scripts.
"As for Xiu Yi-san, he should be at DreamWorks now..." Otomo Fangcun didn't even raise his head, as if the documents in his hands would never end, "I'm busy every day these days. I have to pay attention to the movie in the morning, and I'm still busy in the afternoon.
I’m going to socialize with big names in the film industry..."
"It's really hard~"
Naoki Nagayama feels the same way. He was also like this when he was the project leader in his previous life. He is no longer 996, but 007!
Yoshimura Otomo looked at his friend with great disdain:
"Naoki-san, how do you have the nerve to shamelessly lament Shuichi-san's hard work?"
"Obviously you should be the one doing all the socializing!"
Over the past few years, Nagayama Naoki has turned a blind eye to such small contempt. What's wrong with being complained about by the person he is oppressing? After all, the blood and sweat shed by others will become his own money in the future!
Besides, how can a capitalist’s conscience be such a sensitive and fragile thing!
"Haha, those who are capable should work hard~ Shuichi-san and Otomo-san are indeed much better than me in terms of interpersonal communication!" Nagayama Naoki praised both words, which made Yoshimura Otomo's face relax a lot, and even felt a little complacent.
"Ahem..." Otomo Fangcun cleared his throat, "These are just some thin noodles that my colleagues gave me..."
"Oh no, Otomo-san is the 'social butterfly' of our tree friends!" Nagayama Naoki continued to praise, "We are able to thrive in the entertainment industry, how come we don't have Otomo-san's contribution!"
"Well... Naoki-san, it's a bit embarrassing for you to say that~" Yoshimura Otomo said humbly, the corners of his mouth could no longer be suppressed from rising.
"It's not an exaggeration at all. Tree friends are indispensable without Oyo-san's sea-fixing needle!"
"Hehehe, Naoki-san, stop praising people, it will make people ashamed!"
Yoshimura Otomo's face was already full of smiles, and his tone was full of joy!
Naoki Nagayama curled his lips secretly, and sure enough...it is an iron rule in society that you can get 50% of people by saying something nice...the rest depends on giving away things!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After taking down Yoshimura Otomo, Nagayama Naoki remembered his thoughts in the morning:
"By the way, Otomo-san...what are Kudo Shizuka and Miyazawa Rie doing now?"
"Shizuka-chan is currently increasing her exposure in various programs. At the same time, she is following the training methods of idols, releasing new songs, and singing in live houses... She has already cultivated a group of loyal fans."
Yoshimura Otomo was surprised by Nagayama Naoki's sudden question, but he immediately responded to the current situation of the two of them,
"Miyazawa Rie, she was dragged by Komori Masataka to film "Umi Street Diary"!"
"Ah, did you choose Rie-chan as the protagonist in the end?"
"Yes... Shizuka-chan has just made some progress in the idol world, and it is not suitable for transformation yet. Rie-chan doesn't have so many worries~"
"Well, that's okay~"
Since the matter of casting has been left to Masataka Komori, Naoki Nagayama did not interfere much. Besides, Rie Miyazawa will indeed be more in the entertainment industry in the future.
"Why did Naoki-san suddenly think of asking them today?" Otomo Yoshimura asked.
"Because Akina is going to transform into a pop singer, the top ranks of the idol world may be vacant again... so let's see if our idols have the potential to step up."
Nagayama Naoki didn't hide anything, he spoke directly and opened the latest issue of "Star" magazine on the table. The promotional cover of Akina's new single was hanging on it. Akina was among a group of samba dancers, the two of them together.
Photos taken when I went to Rio de Janeiro.
"Is that so?" Yoshimura Otomo nodded, then became confused, "Isn't there still Matsuda Seiko? Akina has transformed, won't the remaining space be occupied by Matsuda Seiko?"
"As for Matsuda Seiko, he will get married and have children soon, and will retire for a few years..."
Nagayama Naoki lowered his head and looked at the magazine on the table, and said it casually.
"???!!!"
Suddenly hearing the big news, Yoshimura Otomo opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Matsuda Seiko is getting married? To whom?"
"Who else could it be?" Nagayama Naoki looked at him in surprise, "Of course it's my current lover!"
"Um, Masaki Kanda?" Otomo Yoshimura continued to be surprised, "They have only been dating for two months! I thought it was Hiromi Go. After all, we have been dating for several years..."
It stands to reason that this is the case. After all, one is the new person who has been in love for two months, and the other is the old person who is so in love that even if they break up, they will stay together in the next life...
However, no one thought that Seiko Matsuda would actually have a flash marriage with his new wife, and then have children and retire... After all, no one would have thought that an eternal idol like Seiko Matsuda would sexually harass others and then be sued.
....
"Love is such a surprising thing~" Nagayama Naoki shrugged, "Sometimes girls may be attracted to you for a moment..."
"..."
Yoshimura Otomo was silent. According to current concepts, it is a consensus that women are irrational.
"Naoki-san, how did you know?"
"The little bird on the roadside told me~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Of course I heard this kind of gossip!"
"It seems that Naoki-san has many sources of information..." Otomo Yoshimura thought thoughtfully.
"Haha~"
"Spend your time gossiping!"
"?"
Naoki Nagayama was very surprised to see Yoshimura Otomo suddenly say this. The two of them were obviously enjoying themselves gossiping.
"Then let me share some gossip with Naoki-san!" Yoshimura Otomo showed a mysterious expression on his face, "Naoki-san started from "Kikujiro's Summer" last summer to this spring.
Create a new work?"
"?What's the meaning?"
"Some people who have been paying attention to Naoki-san are very curious~Why did Naoki Nagayama...well...have nothing for so long? Whether it's music, movies or novels...
.”
Yoshimura Otomo continued,
"Everyone seems to be wondering whether Naoki-san is dead!"
The sudden rise of Naoki Nagayama has naturally attracted the attention of people in the entertainment industry and even neon as a whole.
Especially Shuyou, who shot one movie every three months, and was directed by Naoki Nagayama. In the meantime, he also published best-selling novels and composed famous music... Everyone thinks that Naoki Nagayama is a genius that has not appeared in decades.
~
Since the end of last year, some people have discovered that Naoki Nagayama has no songs, and no plans to make movies. It turns out that there is no news about a novel a year...
If you were an ordinary person, it would be normal for you to make one movie a year! What's more, "Kikujiro's Summer" just won several awards at the beginning of this year, so it's normal for a director to take a break.
But if this person is Nagayama Naoki, there will be a sharp contrast with before...
You must know that at this time last year, "April Story" had been filmed and was being edited! Even the novel "Tomorrow's Me and Yesterday's You" has been published!
Not to mention there are songs like "Sakura"...
"Is your talent exhausted?" Nagayama Naoki looked at Yoshimura Otomo in disbelief, "Who spread such words?"
"It came from the bird outside the window~" Yoshimura Otomo responded with the same words, "Naoki-san, there is no need to explore the source of such rumors, everyone just talks about it casually."
"However, Naoki-san really doesn't have any creative plans... This makes people feel a bit disappointed..."
Nagayama Naoki is the backbone of Shuyou Group. The group can develop and expand so smoothly. Nagayama Naoki’s genius and reputation have a huge contribution. It can even be said to be Shuyou’s golden signature.
If you maintain a strong posture and develop a reserve force that can support the company's development, Shuyou will be deeply rooted and truly establish a foothold in the entertainment industry.
The entertainment industry is a very realistic place. If the golden sign is broken, then there will definitely be unwilling hyenas who want to come forward and take a bite to test...
Although it was a rumor related to Shuyou's future, Yoshimura Otomo didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, he knew that Naoki-san had a small treasury and earned much more in the investment industry than in the entertainment industry!
With so much money, it doesn't matter even if there are no new works at all in the future!
"But Naoki-san, in order to appease everyone, would you like to participate in the filming of the new movie~" Yoshimura Otomo came up with the idea of Nagayama Naoki's small vault, "Or, are there any new songs to reveal?"
"..."
There are still a few songs in the small vault, but they are not suitable for the current moment... He still wants to keep the theme song of "Slam Dunk"!
"Not yet..."
Yoshimura Otomo was not angry after hearing this, and continued: "So Naoki-san, do you want to consider writing a novel? Or are you currently writing it?"
It has been written! And it has been published!
It's the "Paradise Lost" that you have been discussing for a long time!!!
You have been looking for the author for a long time!!!
Nagayama Naoki's expression remained unchanged: "Creating novels requires inspiration, how can you just write whenever you want?!"
Yoshimura Otomo shared two songs: "Anyway, Naoki-san has made some news recently. It's already a quarter of the new year... Don't let others think that Naoki-san doesn't have any creative plans this year~"
"Hmm...let me think about it~" Naoki Nagayama nodded and changed the topic, "By the way, is "Sea Street Diary" already filming?"
"No...Masataka-kun found an old house in Kamakura...it is being cleaned and renovated as a filming set!" Yoshimura Otomo said, "The specific shooting will be around April...
"
"That's it..."
.......
After leaving the studio, Naoki Nagayama was thinking while driving.
"Is your talent exhausted? If you knew that "Paradise Lost" was written by me, your eyes would pop out!" Nagayama Naoki complained, and then thought of movies, "But in terms of movies, you can really consider it...
.”
It seems that there are really no serious plans to shoot movies this year. All the energy in the past period has been focused on the Plaza Project and the competition for the Palme d'Or.
"What movie are you shooting?"
I have a lot of scripts on hand now, but they are all for animation movies, so it is not convenient to shoot them at the moment.
Then there are foreign scripts, such as "The Pianist", "The Fall of Empire" and "The Reader"...it seems that they are not suitable for filming in Neon.
"Then what else..."
The warm spring breeze blows in the face, mixed with the freshness of flowers and vegetation, and the smell of fresh earth, which makes people relax.
Nagayama Naoki looked to the side and happened to pass by the Kanda River that crosses Tokyo and is about to merge with the Sumida River~
The greenery and flowers on both sides of the river made pedestrians stop in their hurry and appreciate the rare spring scenery... Naoki Nagayama also parked the car aside and sat down on a bench by the river.
.
"What kind of movie are you going to make?"
"First of all, it should be simple...it should be interesting...it shouldn't take too much time to shoot..."
