"You actually got here?" Seeing Xing Jiahua coming to report, Nagayama Naoki was a little curious, "I originally planned to go to Yamazakuin to change a message."
"Maybe there's something urgent...I've been to the studio before~" Yoshimura Otomo said with a smile beside him.
"Maybe~" Nagayama Naoki nodded and said to Xing Jiahua, "Arigado, Hana-chan, I will confirm it~"
"Then I'll take my leave first~"
After Xing Jiahua withdrew, Naoki Nagayama and Otomo Yoshimura continued their previous conversation about Shuyou's plans for the second half of the year.
"We can shoot it directly in April and release it in May." Yoshimura Otomo said there is no problem, "Then the next step will be Shuichi-san's TV series..."Squid Game"~"
"Have you communicated on which TV station "Squid Game" will be broadcast on?"
Yoshimura Otomo nodded: "Shuichi-san has an acquaintance in TBS. We have talked with him several times and he seems very interested~"
"TBS...ok~"
Nagayama Naoki didn't say much. Itou Shuichi was the person in charge, so his opinion was the main one.
"There is also "Haijie Diary" that will be released at the end of the year, but there is still something missing~"
Nagayama Naoki was also helpless: "Didn't I invest in an animation studio before...but each animated film takes more than a year...so there is no way for the time being."
"But the convenience of a movie is still very important. Should we...continue to expand the IP of "High School" or "Midnight Ring"?" Otomo Yoshimura suggested, "As long as there is another one released in the second half of the year, it will be about the same.
Already~"
"Well...let me think..."
This is indeed a very troublesome matter. There is currently no suitable movie script, so Nagayama Naoki can only ask Otomo Santo to collect more scripts from other screenwriters.
After finishing lunch, Nagayama Naoki took the time to call Nishi Rumi from Fuji TV, knowing that he would be invited to watch the final season of "Dusk Meow Meow".
As a variety show planned by himself, Naoki Nagayama did not refuse...
........
In the afternoon, Naoki Nagayama drove his convertible to the headquarters of Fuji TV again.
"Da Taisang, Akimoto-san, and Nishirumi-san..." Nagayama Naoki came to the office area of the production team and saw almost all the acquaintances there.
"Naoki-san..." A smile appeared on Sugiura Oitai's face, "I've finally waited for you to come~"
"Huh? Are you all waiting for me?" Nagayama Naoki was a little embarrassed, "I just came to take a look, it's not necessary!"
"After all, this is the last issue, and Naoki-san is the original planner... There needs to be a sense of ceremony!" Otasu Sugiura smiled and invited Naoki Nagayama to sit in the middle of a group of main creators, ""Twilight Meow Meow" after all
It was very popular last year!”
"Aha~" Nagayama Naoki also sat down and started watching the last episode with everyone.
Because it happens to be the cherry blossom season, the theme of the last issue is that they are as fleeting as cherry blossoms. The outdoor studio was actually placed in Yoyogi Park, and the decorations on the indoor studio were all pink and tender cherry blossom pink.
The show invited all the members of the Kitten Club from the first episode to the last. Some are studying, some have married, and some are still in the entertainment industry... But compared to before, everyone has participated in "Twilight Meow"
There have been different changes since "Meow".
"What does "Dusk Meow" mean to you?" The host interviewed several members and heard their feelings about this program.
Original Kitty Club members share their reflections:
"It's like a psychedelic dream. I woke up so quickly that I can't even remember what it looked like... But the happy, exciting mood can always stay in my heart..."
After several members finished speaking, all the members dressed in kimonos and cat ear accessories sang the original songs - "Let's learn to meow together" and "Don't take off my sailor" against the background of cherry blossoms.
"Served"...
"That's so well said..." Nagayama Naoki admired from the bottom, and looked at Akimoto Yasushi next to him, "This copy was probably written by Akimoto-san!"
Qiu Yuankang was silent for a moment, but nodded:
"...Hi...but how did Naoki-san know? Couldn't it be her perception?"
Nagayama Naoki shook his head: "Akimoto-san... They are just a group of high school girls, how could they say such sentimental words..."
Speaking of which, almost all the members of the Kitty Club are teenage female high school students, some of whom have not even obtained high school diplomas... No matter how much they think about it, they don't have the ability to write this kind of copy.
Yasushi Akimoto was silent again... Naoki-san is still so sharp!
The nearly one-hour program finally ended under the watchful eyes of everyone. When everyone was crying and saying, "Mina-san, where is Sayou~", the girl Nishi Rumi still had some sad eyes with red eyes.
.
However, heartless and heartless men like Akimoto Yasushi and Sugiura Otasu looked indifferent... After all, the program was planned and produced by them, so naturally they couldn't be moved.
As for Nagayama Naoki, the information explosion in the Internet era in his previous life made his threshold very high... With his current threshold, it is easy to make him laugh, but to make him move...
....
"Blue Love of Life and Death", "I'm Sorry I Love You", "One Liter of Tears", "Unnatural Death", "Fairy Sword", "Alive", "Soldier Assault"...
First, after you watch all these movies and TV series that make you cry dozens of times, including sadomasochistic love, pain of life and death, brotherly love, etc... and see what else can make you cry!!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, the atmosphere in the office was still depressed for a while~
"Naoki-san..." After a moment of silence, Akimoto Yasushi raised the topic, "After "Dusk Meow Meow" ends, is there any program Naoki-san wants to continue producing?"
"Me?" Nagayama Naoki thought for a moment, "I actually don't know much about variety shows~"
"..."
Everyone in the office was silent again!
I don’t quite understand? I don’t quite understand that you planned the popular “Twilight Meow Meow”? You also have the “Newspeak Buzzword Awards” with stable ratings. I don’t quite understand variety shows. TV Asahi is currently cooperating with Fuji TV and TBS.
What is "Music Station" for playing in the ring?!
Fortunately, Sugiura Oitai reacted and quickly smiled to smooth things over:
"Naoki-san should be focusing on TV dramas now. "Century of Love" is the most important stage..."
"Haha, "Century of Love" is mainly due to director Kyū Kijima. I just provided a script..." Naoki Nagayama waved his hand modestly, "He did the rest of the work!"
Akimoto Yasushi continued:
""Century of Love" is coming to an end...do you have any plans for the next TV series?"
Sugiura Oyasu also immediately interjected: "If there is any, we at Fuji TV would be very willing to cooperate!"
He already knows now that when he hugs Naoki Nagayama's thick legs, it's best not to come down... Whether it's a variety show, TV series, or movie... Naoki Nagayama's name is...
Golden signboard.
"Hmm..." Naoki Nagayama thought for a while, "Shuyu's next TV series project is called "Squid Game"... However, this TV series may not be suitable for the style of Fuji TV...
..”
"No... our Fuji TV style can change a lot!" Otasu Sugiura immediately assured, "Naoki-san, please be sure to consider Fuji TV!"
"...."
Other producers will shed tears of envy when they hear this... When have they ever seen Fuji TV be so groveling!
However, Naoki Nagayama still declined:
"The general person in charge of "Squid Game" is Director Yi Tang, and he has already communicated with TBS..."
"..." Sugiura Otai immediately said in disappointment, "Is there no room for change?"
"Haha, it's almost done..." Nagayama Naoki comforted, "But "Squid Game" is indeed a very novel and bold TV series, and it is also a bit violent and bloody. Fuji TV may not accept it... because TBS currently lacks
TV series, that’s why I’m willing to try~”
Hearing these words was comforting, and Sugiura Oitai could not refute, so he could only nod his head. This discussion of a new project should have passed by now~
However, Yasushi Akimoto has been holding his breath and wants to compete with Naoki Nagayama. After seeing the disappointment of Otasu Sugiura, he became more and more jealous...
I originally gave you no less than a dozen scripts, but none of you had the intention to produce them. Now Naoki Nagayama randomly throws out one... and it turns out...
"Naoki-san... what do you think of the future of the new variety show type of romance show?" He could only show off his proudest romance show~
"Love drama... it's a very interesting show~" Naoki Nagayama nodded and helped analyze it based on the memory in his mind, "But... when various TV stations start to imitate it, the audience's attention will
Maybe it will be transferred~ Moreover, there are only so many love routines, and the audience’s attention fatigue also needs to be considered..."
"In other words, it's not a longevity project, right?" Akimoto Yasushi asked a little unhappily.
Naoki Nagayama smiled and replied: "Haha, yes... programs whose content cannot be constantly updated with current events will definitely not be long-lived programs..."
Nishi Rumi interjected: "So what type of longevity program does Naoki-san think of?"
"Of course it's a news program... Hahaha, the type most closely related to current events!" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Speaking of which, "Newspeak Buzzword Awards" is also a program that follows current events!"
"Haha, news doesn't count!" Xi Rumei also laughed.
Yasushi Akimoto continued to ask: "Apart from these? Isn't there a longer-lived type?!"
"Of course... funny variety shows like "It's Okay to Laugh" will work, as long as you add the latest jokes~" Naoki Nagayama said, "Even if the show doesn't work, it can be changed to another format.
After all, happiness is the eternal pursuit of the audience~"
"The type of funny variety show..."
In fact, comedy variety shows have the most types among all variety shows. When it comes to this, Sugiura Oyasu and the others all participated in the discussion and began to express their thoughts one by one.
Making people laugh is both easy and difficult...otherwise why do cartoonists and comedians have the highest salaries in the entertainment industry!
"Naoki-san, the program you mentioned is very difficult!" Yasushi Akimoto was not convinced, "There is no program that can make people laugh casually..."
"Haha, it's actually very simple. It's just like playing a game between friends... everyone can laugh easily~" Nagayama Naoki blurted out without paying attention.
"Oh?" Yasushi Akimoto immediately caught the blind spot, "What game is so funny?"
"Well....."
Nagayama Naoki paused for a moment, searching for games that were simple, fun, interesting and could make people laugh. Then he thought of the comedy variety show that was once very popular in South Korea.
"For example, a game called 'Of course'~"
"???" Everyone looked over curiously.
"Eh? Don't you all know?" Nagayama Naoki pretended to be surprised, "It's a very popular game among college students..."
"...."
"Okay, it's actually very simple...I'll teach you!"
Nagayama Naoki quickly divided the people in the office into two teams, and then explained,
"This is a game of comparing who is thick-skinned, or in other words, a game of comparing shame... One team member speaks to the other, and no matter what is said, the other person has to answer 'Of course.'
Be sure to do this. If you break the defense and cannot say "Of course" within five seconds, you will lose!"
It was a very simple rule that everyone understood immediately.
Akimoto Yasushi was still laughing in his heart, "That's it? Who can't answer 'Of course'... Just close your eyes~"
After everyone understood it, Nagayama Naoki acted as the referee first and let Sugiura Oyasu and Nishi Rumi try it out first.
Sugiura Oitai spoke first and thought for a moment:
"Nishirumi-san...Actually, you like Naoki Nagayama, right?!"
Nishi Rumi was stunned for a moment, glanced at Nagayama Naoki who was laughing next to her, and even though she was a little embarrassed, she still said:
"Of course!"
"Hahahaha~" Everyone started to laugh, and for a moment they understood the point of the game.
During Nishi Rumi’s turn, she looked at Sugiura Otayoshi and said directly:
"Da Taisang, you are very cheerful on the outside, but in fact you are very dark on the inside, right?"
Sugiura Oitai was silent for a second: "...Of course!"
In an instant, the fighting atmosphere between the two became intense, and everyone watched with great anticipation as the two opponents exchanged vicious words!
"Nishirumi-san, you dream about marrying into a wealthy family every day, right?!" "Of course!"
"Da Taisang, you have been coveting the position of minister for a long time, right?!" "...Of course!"
"Nishirumi-san, you cry silently when you see the cramped apartment every day when you go home, right?!" "...Of course!"
"Da Taisang...you always sit on the chair in the office for a while after the minister leaves, right?" "...Of course~"
"..."
Hohoho~ "Awesome!" "You can say it all!" "Nishirumi-san hates getting married so much!" "Otaita-san is really interested in the position of minister..."
Although the people nearby sounded very exciting, they still couldn't let both sides break through the defense until it was Nishi Rumi's turn...
"Da Taisang, actually after get off work today, you wanted to hug the minister's lap, cry and say, 'I can do anything,' and beg for your promotion, right!!!"
"...."
When Sugiura Oitai heard this question, he opened his mouth slightly a few times... He really couldn't say the sentence "Of course"... It was too much and too shameful. If he answered in the affirmative, then in the future
How can you behave in front of everyone!!!
"One, two, three, four, five!!!" Naoki Nagayama smiled and counted the numbers, then patted Nishirumi, "Nishirumi won this game!!!"
"Hahaha~" "Nishirumi-san is really awesome!" "It's so funny... look at Otaisan's expression!" "..."
Everyone was laughing and joking. They were all very involved in the game and were very happy to watch it. Even Sugiura Oyasu, who lost the game, couldn't help laughing~
But after a while, Qiu Yuanyasu was still a little bit stubborn:
"Naoki-san, there is a flaw in this game. If you meet a very thick-skinned person...like me, then I will definitely be the winner in the end!"
"Haha, Akimoto-san, don't overestimate how thick-skinned you are!" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Your face is not as thick-skinned as you think! Most people don't know that they are actually easily broken.
Be careful!"
"Hahaha, how is that possible! I must be fine!"
Akimoto Yasushi is full of confidence. The fat on his face has added more than an inch of thickness to his face. Who can break my defense?! It doesn't exist!
After hearing Akimoto Yasushi's heroic words, everyone immediately started making noises and asked Akimoto Yasushi to be the next contestant... But Akimoto Yasushi didn't care and instead said:
"Naoki-san has a lot of experience playing this game, so let Naoki-san be my opponent!!!"
"Me?" Nagayama Naoki waved his hands repeatedly, "If I come on stage, I will bully others!"
"Silly tape, I will definitely not break the defense!" Yasushi Akimoto pulled Nagayama Naoki to the opposite side, "No matter what you say, I will say 'of course' without changing my face!"
"It's better not to give it up...you have no experience yet..." Nagayama Naoki still declined politely.
"Haha, Naoki-san is afraid, right?" Akimoto Yasushi laughed.
However, Otasu Sugiura also wanted to see Naoki Nagayama’s jokes at this time, so amidst the commotion of the crowd, he just went along with the flow:
"That's it, Naoki-san, let's give it a try... Give Akimoto-san some challenges! I'll be the referee!"
He looked at Yasushi Akimoto, who looked proud and confident, and then glanced at Naoki Nagayama, who was a little embarrassed.
"Let Naoki-san come first!"
"This...isn't good~"
If I came first, there would be no chance there!
Akimoto Yasu raised his chin: "It doesn't matter, just Naoki-san come first, I will be fine!"
"this......"
Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Naoki Nagayama had to start preparing to ask questions.
He looked at the fat face of Yasushi Akimoto who looked unconcerned:
"Akimoto-san..."
"Nani?" Yasushi Akimoto's eyes were firm. No matter what Naoki Nagayama said, he would answer "Of course"!
Nagayama Naoki gave a sympathetic look and opened his mouth slightly:
"Your Ding Ding only has one inch, right?!"
"Dang...???" Qiu Yuanyasu said half of the words in his mouth, and he immediately realized something was wrong!
What else can Naoki Nagayama say!!!
He was saying that my Ding Ding is only one inch!!! Then it is three centimeters!!!
What is this?!
Everyone present fell silent and looked at Yasushi Akimoto subconsciously. Such a question... For men, it is simply more social than social death!!!
So, can Akimoto Yasu admit it without changing his expression?! It’s really exciting!!!
In the eyes of everyone, Qiu Yuanyasu's face turned from white to red, and then from red to green... He opened and closed his mouth several times, and the words "Of course" were on his lips, but he couldn't say anything.
exit!
If he admits it now, he will have the nickname "One-Inch Man" tomorrow!!!
Others don't care whether he is playing games or not!
"One...two...three..." Under Nagayama Naoki's reminder, Sugiura Otaishi still remembered the referee's responsibility, "Akimoto-san, if you don't say anything,
You have to admit defeat!"
"..." Qiu Yuanyasu's lips twitched...
"Five!!! Naoki-san wins this round!!" Otasu Sugiura finally announced!
"Hahaha!" "Sure enough, the defense was broken in no time!" "This is really difficult!" "I won't admit it either!" "..."
Everyone laughed again, and everyone felt that this game was really interesting!!
