The scandal between Nishino Kazuki and Oshima Yuko didn't create any commotion, because that magazine had compiled a lot of news in the past, and almost no one in the industry believed it except for the really naive people.
Because of this incident, Kazuki Nishino was teased a lot by the host on variety shows and became a funny joke.
On this day, Nishino Kazuki received a call from Yasuda Saki, telling him that he had made an appointment for him with TBS screenwriter Akiko Nogi, and he would come to a cafe in Roppongi to meet him this afternoon. It is said that Akiko Nogi heard that
Nishino Kazuki was a little curious about meeting her, but he readily agreed.
At noon, Kazuki Nishino and Saki Yasuda came to the Roppongi cafe. After going to the private room, they saw Akiko Nogi. There was also a middle-aged man sitting next to her. The two stood up after seeing Nishino and Yasuda.
.
"Sorry for the long wait." Nishino Kazuki said first.
Akiko Nogi waved her hand and said, "No, we just arrived."
"I am Nishino Kazuki, please give me your advice."
The middle-aged man next to Akiko Nogi should be the person responsible for the introduction. He stood up and introduced himself: "I am Tanaka Ryuuo, the head of the first section of the TBS TV Planning Department. Please give me your advice."
After Nishino Kazuki shook hands with the two, Yasuda Saki also said hello and finally took his seat.
"Nishino-san, what would you like to drink?" Tanaka Tatsuo was wearing a formal suit and seemed to be in charge of today's introduction. But the strange thing was that he didn't know Yasuda Saki, so the friend Yasuda mentioned was not him?
"Let's have a cup of coffee." Nishino Kazuki said.
"I've finished my coffee too."
After the drinks were served, everyone started chatting.
The first person to speak was Akiko Nogi. He looked at the handsome actor in front of him and asked directly: "Excuse me, why did Nishino-san come to see me today?"
Nishino Kazuki saw that she got right to the point without talking nonsense, and said directly: "That's it, Nogi-san, I have some questions about the script that I want to ask you."
"Oh?" Akiko Nogi was surprised, "Nishino-san wants to change his career?"
"No." Nishino Kazuki paused and then said, "I know that you are very good at writing scripts. I heard that a comic has been bought by TBS TV station and asked you to adapt it."
"Because I care a lot about this manga, I wanted to ask Noki-san if he is already working on adapting it."
Akiko Nogi thought to herself that just for this, you called me out on a special trip? You also asked the section chief of the TBS planning department to accompany you. This is too much to make a fuss about.
However, Akiko Nogi thought for a while and replied: "Which manga is Nishino-san talking about?"
"It's "Escape is Shameful But Useful", the one that just won the Comic Award two months ago."
"That one, TBS TV station commissioned me to start writing it a month ago. Since it is scheduled for next year, the progress of the script is very average. I also have another script in hand, which Section Chief Tanaka should know."
Akiko Nogi recently helped NTV write a TV series "Kyoko's Memo". In the past two years, she has cooperated more with Fuji TV. Unexpectedly, TBS also approached her recently and asked her to help write a script for another TV series.
Add a comic book script.
Kazuki Nishino seemed to be like this. Gen Hoshino said in an interview that the producer of the Japanese drama "Escape is Shameful But Useful" found him at the end of 2015 and asked him to star. It seems that the script is that
The time is determined.
"I understand, thank you Nogi-san. If this drama needs actors, you can consider me." Nishino Kazuki has already made a decision in his heart. The next TV series will be filmed by TBS TV station. In order to get "
The hero of "A Shameful But Useful Escape".
He also needs to have a proper relationship. This drama is still very important in his strategic plan.
Tanaka Tatsuo on the side heard the conversation between the two, looked thoughtful, and then said: "Nishino-san, if I remember correctly, you have received a script invitation for our TV station's January top ten drama."
Nishino Kazuki nodded: "Yes, I have discussed it with the agency and am ready to continue cooperating with your TV station."
After he finished speaking, when he saw a strange look on Tanaka Ryuuo's face, he asked, "What's the matter, Section Chief Tanaka?"
Could it be that because he hasn’t responded yet, the drama has already been promised to another actor?
Tanaka Ryuuo sighed, hesitated for a while, and said: "To be honest, Nishino-san, the filming of the drama might be canceled for you."
Nishino Kazuki was in a daze while drinking coffee.
"Why?"
This actually involves matters within the TV station, and Tanaka Ryuuo is a little embarrassed to say it.
But thinking about today's orders from above and looking at the curious looks on the other three's faces, I could only say hesitantly.
"Actually, I think the script of "Never Let Me Go" is pretty good. Although it's a little heavy, it's still a good work that reflects reality." Tanaka Tatsuo slowed down, "But this script is written by Tsuboi Akihiko.
The minister pushed for it, but now Minister Tsuboi has been transferred to the Logistics Department as the head of the Logistics Department due to certain matters, and the position of the head has been taken over by Deputy Minister Ei Iwata."
What Tanaka Tatsuo means is that the original director of the TV planning department, Akihiko Tsuboi, was transferred to the logistics department with little power because he offended someone, so now the script he recommended will also be removed?
"Then my invitation is gone?" Nishino Kazuki looked at him thoughtfully and asked.
"I'm sorry, I don't know about this, but our department will probably notify Nishino-san's office of this news in the next two days." Tanaka Tatsuo continued, "As for the new script, it will be discussed at the discussion meeting on Monday.
Make a decision."
Nishino Kazuki also understood. It meant that the script he originally wanted to accept was gone, and there was nowhere to act in it. He just didn't know if the new script would invite him to continue to be the leading actor. After all, the director and casting had been changed.
Definitely different aspects.
"I see."
Tanaka Tatsuo finally nodded to a few people and said solemnly: "Please don't tell anyone what I said, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. Thank you."
Several people nodded in agreement, saying that there is no benefit in talking about things within the TV station.
"By the way, the comic Nishino-san just mentioned is called...?"
“Escape is shameful but useful.”
"Yes, if the next Huo Shi is replaced by this one, what kind of story will it be?"
Nishino Kazuki's eyes lit up, as if he thought of something.
"This manga is a relaxing love story, with..." Nishino Kazuki thought a lot, then realized that the real screenwriter was sitting opposite, and nodded quickly, "Sorry, Nogi-san is the one."
Screenwriter, I'm overstepping my bounds."
Akiko Nogi has been listening to Nishino's story and said with a smile: "Nishino-san's talk is very unique. I haven't paid attention to some aspects. No wonder you care about it."
"Maybe if he wasn't an actor, Nishino-san would be a good screenwriter."
"If it's a light-hearted story, it would be good to follow the current "Fall in Love with Me, a Good-for-nothing". Two consecutive light-hearted love stories might also have good ratings," Tanaka thought, "It's just that the progress is a bit rushed.
I will try it out as a proposal at Monday’s meeting.”
The few of them chatted for about an hour and finally said goodbye.
As the introducer, Saki Yasuda didn't say a few words and became a mere tool.
