After staying in the lounge for less than half an hour, Nakamura Masahiro adjusted his state a little, and the staff in charge of the NHK TV station's "Red and White Uta" program came over to inform him.
After simply tidying up his appearance, Masahiro Nakamura left the lounge with the staff without any further delay.
The corridor, which was originally not very spacious, was now filled with many artists, making the whole scene look quite crowded.
Wearing bright costumes and exquisite makeup, they lined up and walked slowly forward.
In the crowd, Masahiro Nakamura suddenly spotted a few slightly familiar figures. He took a closer look and realized they were groups from South Korea: Girls' Generation, Kara and TVXQ.
I subconsciously took a few glances at kara member Goo Hara. Her facial features were indeed quite delicate, and her palm-sized face looked very dainty. She was indeed very similar to the legendary Japanese singer Namie Amuro.
In Nakamura Masahiro's vague memory, the news about Goo Hara once dominated the hot searches on the other side. However, it was not good news because she chose to commit suicide at a young age.
Masahiro Nakamura vaguely remembered that Goo Hara's death seemed to be related to the "Victory Gate" incident that would be exposed in the future in South Korea, and she was considered a victim.
However, it is not that surprising that this kind of thing happens in the Korean entertainment industry. After all, Zhang Ziyan’s lessons are there, and we just have to see who will follow in her footsteps.
Probably feeling Nakamura Masahiro's gaze, Goo Hara turned around as if feeling something, and happened to meet Nakamura Masahiro's eyes.
The other party's eyes were very peaceful, but Goo Hara felt a hint of pity inexplicably: The other party seemed to sympathize with her?
A strange, slightly absurd feeling suddenly arose in her heart. She pursed her lips and looked at Masahiro Nakamura. Goo Hara quietly reached out and pulled Nicole Zheng in front of her.
"Nicole, there is someone behind me who keeps staring at me. It feels weird..."
Hearing Goo Hara's words, Zheng Nicole immediately turned her head and looked behind her, and soon spotted Nakamura Masahiro who was looking at them.
"Is the person you are talking about Director Masahiro Nakamura?"
Obviously, Zheng Nicole knows Nakamura Masahiro. With Nakamura Masahiro's popularity this year, as long as you are a practitioner in the entertainment circle, if you don't know Nakamura Masahiro, you will be somewhat ignorant.
"Supervisor Masahiro Nakamura? Who..."
Goo Hara is a somewhat ignorant example. She turned her head and looked at Nakamura Masahiro with a confused look on her face.
"He is the director of "Antarctica"..."
Zheng Nicole rolled her eyes at Goo Hara and expressed helplessness that she didn't pay much attention to the Japanese entertainment industry. She could only remind her: "The TV series starring Kimura Takuya has very popular ratings."
"It turns out that he is the director of "Antarctica"..."
Nodding somewhat suddenly, Goo Hara finally recalled it. Although she didn't pay too much attention to the popular Japanese TV series "Antarctica", she was not very unfamiliar with it.
While they were talking, they had followed the team slowly to the backstage of the studio. The staff of the "Red and White Uta" crew were scattered around, explaining the details that needed to be paid attention to to the participating artists.
Goo Hara and the kara members checked the headsets and microphones together, adjusted their expression management a little, and then waited quietly where they were.
With her free eyes wandering around unconsciously, Goo Hara couldn't help but turn her gaze to Nakamura Masahiro.
Unlike most Japanese artists who are not very tall, Masahiro Nakamura is tall and stands out against the crowd of smaller people around him.
His face is handsome, with a strong heroic spirit exuding between his eyebrows and eyes, full of youthful youthful atmosphere.
"Holla, why are you staring at me?"
Noticing Goo Hara's abnormality, Zheng Nicole couldn't help but get closer and asked in a low voice.
"No, I just took a look..."
Startled by her teammate's voice, Goo Hara replied insincerely, and then looked away slightly panicked.
At this time, Nakamura Masahiro didn't notice Goo Hara's little movements. He was smiling and talking in a low voice with a middle-aged man next to him. The two looked like they were having a great time talking.
"Nakamura-san, congratulations to you, the ratings of "Antarctica" are very dazzling..."
The middle-aged man is Masaharu Fukuyama, a frequent guest in "Red and White Uta". He is a superstar in the entertainment industry and can be called an all-around artist. His status and influence can be said to be on par with Takuya Kimura.
Especially after Kimura Takuya and Kudo Shizuka got married, Fukuyama Masaharu, who has remained single, has been favored and sought after by many Japanese housewives.
According to various social surveys conducted by the media in recent years, Masaharu Fukuyama's influence has surpassed that of Takuya Kimura, making him the latest top figure in the entertainment industry.
However, with the recent boom in the ratings of "Antarctica", Kimura Takuya, who was originally at a disadvantage, suddenly made a huge comeback and climbed back to Fukuyama Masaharu's head, which made him a little unhappy.
However, he had no choice but to watch Kimura Takuya dominate the entertainment industry, and he seemed to have regained his status as a superstar.
In terms of envy and jealousy, Masaharu Fukuyama is not to that extent. After all, he is a superstar who is not inferior to Takuya Kimura, and he has enough confidence.
But jealousy is definitely inevitable. It is not easy for a TV series to be popular nowadays, and it is even rarer for it to be as popular as "Antarctica" in terms of ratings.
"You're welcome. The success of "Antarctica" is actually due to the joint efforts of everyone."
Nakamura Masahiro did not know the psychological activities of Fukuyama Masaharu. When faced with congratulatory remarks, he expressed his modest attitude with ease.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Nakamura-san, it is true to be appropriately modest, but excessive modesty is really unnecessary..."
Masaharu Fukuyama looked at Masahiro Nakamura with a smile, and expressed admiration. After a few simple words, he quickly changed the subject in a pretentious manner.
"Nakamura-san, I wonder if you have any ideas for your next work?"
"Next one?"
Glancing at Masaharu Fukuyama with some confusion, Masahiro Nakamura replied thoughtfully: "I don't have any ideas yet. I'll finish the movie first..."
"That's it..."
After muttering a little with emotion, Fukuyama Masaharu asked unwillingly: "Nakamura-san, if you have time, you can think about it."
"Senior, it's a bit too early to think about it now..."
Nakamura Masahiro glanced at Fukuyama Masaharu with a somewhat strange look. He wondered why the other party cared so much about his next work.
However, before he had time to think too much, the staff began to notify the artists to come on stage. This was the beginning of the rehearsal program.
Suppressing those messy thoughts, Nakamura Masahiro followed the artists who were moving forward, and slowly climbed onto the stage of "Red and White Uta" together with Masaharu Fukuyama.
There were many people sitting in the crowd under the stage, all staff members of the program team at all levels. Their outfits looked a bit messy, and they all sat upright and looked quite solemn.
Coupled with the dark shadows behind the auditorium, it makes people feel a little depressed.
Amidst the exciting background music, the artists participating in "Red and White Song" stepped onto the stage one after another. Everyone was smiling and applauding, and lined up one after another, unfolding horizontally like a picture frame.
Chief host Wataru Abe, the red group emcee Mao Inoue, and the five members of the white group emcee Arashi spoke enthusiastically together. When the music stopped, he officially made the announcement.
"The 62nd NHK "Red and White Song" officially begins..."
Afterwards, the host briefly summarized 2011, mentioned the earthquake that is still impressive to this day, and announced the program theme of "Ode to Tomorrow".
After the players of Japan's national women's football team who were invited to the stage accepted a brief interview, "Red and White Songs" officially entered the performance stage.
The emcee of the red group, Mao Inoue, introduced the first performing singer of the red group to be Ayumi Hamasaki, while the member of the white group, emcee Arashi, announced that the competing singer of the white group was nyc.
As the lights suddenly went out, the stage suddenly fell into darkness. The artists on the stage quickly left towards both sides of the stage, and the prelude of the song was already playing on the stage behind.
"Nakamura-san...."
Nakamura Masahiro was leaving the stage quickly when he was suddenly stopped by Fukuyama Masaharu. He kept walking and turned to look at the person following him curiously.
"If you have the opportunity, please be sure to send me an invitation and let's collaborate once..."
"Hi...."
What could Masahiro Nakamura say? Of course he responded vaguely, and then stood to the side of the stage as the artists left the stage.
The dark stage lit up with a faint light, and above the stage were the performers, who were playing their instruments seriously in the shadows.
In a moment, Hamasaki Ayumi appeared in the middle of the stage, and her voice that was familiar to countless Japanese people filled the studio.
The song sounds a bit strange. Masahiro Nakamura is not very familiar with Hamasaki's songs, he only knows a few of her masterpieces.
However, he didn't have much thought to appreciate Hamasaki Ayumi's performance, because Nakamura Masahiro was busy dealing with the many seniors who came to say hello to him.
Toshiyuki Nishida, Shinichi Mori, Nana Mizuki, Seiko Matsuda, Natsuko Godai, Hideaki Tokunaga and others are all experienced seniors in the circle.
Although there may not be much interaction, the other party greeted him politely, and Nakamura Masahiro did not hesitate, so he could only respond with the same enthusiastic attitude.
"Director Nakamura, it's time for us to go over and get ready."
