Only now does Kazuki Nishino know how busy a star can be in the entertainment industry in Tokyo. Invitations from large and small program groups are flying towards him like snowflakes, not to mention interviews with other magazines and model shoots.
His fame is growing day by day, and his fans on the Internet have become a force that cannot be ignored. It is only at this stage that he has truly begun to become an influential person among young actors.
The Japanese Drama Academy Awards organized by "TV Weekly" and known as the "Japanese Oscars" have also started voting for this season. Its awards are judged by magazine readers, five judges, and fifteen TV reporters based on the average vote count.
It is worth mentioning that Nishino Kazuki has also been nominated in the "Supporting Actor Award". The person competing with him is Issey Takahashi. He participated in "The King of the People". This person won this award in his previous life.
Recipients of awards.
Preparations for the TV series "Escape is Shameful But Useful" have been completed and filming will begin in a few days.
Nishino Kazuki recommended Hoshino Gen to Sato Ryoichi, the producer in charge of music coordination. Sato also sent an invitation to Hoshino Gen's agency for the TV series theme song a few days ago, and the other party responded and accepted it in the afternoon.
, and a few days later, a song was sent to TBS TV station.
Because he was recommended by Kazuki Nishino, when Gen Hoshino came to the TV station with his manager, he was also pulled over by Ryoichi Sato to review and listen to this song.
They met in the conference room first. Gen Hoshino was dressed casually, a simple gray hoodie and a pair of jeans, but Kazuki Nishino was dressed more formally. After the two met, they shook hands and greeted each other.
"Hoshino-san, this is the first time we meet. I have heard a lot about you from Banana Man seniors. Please give me your advice." Banana Man and Hoshino Gen are very good friends. Hoshino Gen often appears on their radio program, Banana.
He is a regular guest in the variety shows "Banana Man's Rare Food" and "Banana Zero Music", which have been sponsored by several people. And every year on Yuki Himura's birthday, Gen Hoshino will arrange a birthday song for Himura.
Sing it on the radio for everyone to hear.
"I often hear Himura-san and Shitara-san mention you." Hoshino Gen said to Nishino Kazuki with a smile.
The two of them chatted for a while and sat down.
Sato Ryoichi sat opposite Hoshino Gen and said: "Hoshino-san, regarding the theme song of this TV series..."
"Sato-san, I have finished writing it. This piece of music was a work in progress. I was inspired by the script of your TV series in the past few days and completed it."
Nishino Kazuki was a little nervous, not knowing whether his song was the sensational "Love" in his previous life.
"Have you brought the demo of the song?"
"Bring it, if you allow it, please listen to it." This is not the first time for Gen Hoshino to compose music for a TV series. The single "Sun" released last year was the theme song of Fuji TV's TV series "Heartbreak Four Corners" and was released on
That week it became the second-ranked song on the Japanese Oricon weekly song chart.
Gen Hoshino seemed very calm. He took out the CD of the song demo, put it in his laptop, and then clicked on it, and the melody sounded.
As soon as he heard the first melody, Nishino Kazuki knew he was safe. The familiar melody slowly sounded, and then Hoshino Gen's specific voice sounded.
Although this demo only has a short section, and the lyrics seem to be slightly different from the original work, it is not the final product. The song will be officially determined after discussion with the TV series' music creative team.
However, this is not a problem. Although the time has moved forward, everything in this TV series seems to be following the original trajectory.
After listening, Sato Ryo nodded: "Hoshino-san's songs are of very high quality."
"The name of this song is "Love". The script of "Escape is Shameful But Useful" is about contract marriage. It is a light comedy, so the melody is written as light as possible, and the lyrics are also written in that direction.
"
Gen Hoshino is worthy of being a professional singer-songwriter and has extensive experience in composing songs. After finishing this song, the most important thing is the dance. In his previous life, the "Love Dance" was very popular on YouTube and major video websites.
"Well, Hoshino-san, if this song is confirmed, we will notify your office as soon as possible. Thank you very much." Sato Ryoichi was about to end the meeting and said politely, "This demo will be left here.
It’s here, okay?”
"Of course, thank you Sato-san." Gen Hoshino replied.
"Then that's it for today, thank you for your hard work." Ryoichi Sato stood up from his seat and bowed slightly to Gen Hoshino.
The latter also stood up immediately and returned the greeting: "I am here. Thank you Sato-san for your care."
Finally, the four people present said goodbye politely, and Gen Hoshino left TBS TV station with his manager.
Ryo Sato waited until everyone left, then sat down again, sorted out the information on the table, looked at Nishino Kazuki who was meditating beside him, and suddenly asked: "Nishino-san, what do you think of this song?"
"I think this song is very good and fits the theme. Hoshino-san is indeed a talented singer-songwriter."
Gen Hoshino has played the supporting actor role in "Obstetrician Kotori" on TBS in recent months. He was able to write this song so quickly when there was not enough writing time. Although it was a semi-finished product, it should not be underestimated.
Look at it.
"Yes." Sato Ryo nodded and said in agreement, "If nothing else happens, we will have to hold a meeting to discuss it this afternoon. If possible, we will make a decision directly."
"By the way, Sato-san, I have an idea." Nishino Kazuki suddenly said.
Sato let out a cool cry, half-turned his face and asked, "What do you think?"
"Hoshino-san's song has a strong folk style. Wouldn't it be better to put it as the ending song with a dance?" Kazuki Nishino decided to make this suggestion directly.
"Dancing... it should be good." Sato Ryoichi thought this proposal was okay. Many TV dramas will also show clips of the leading actors dancing in conjunction with the songs, which is considered routine practice.
"At that time, I can recommend a dance teacher and ask her to choreograph the dance." Nishino Kazuki continued.
Sato Ryo glanced at him, feeling a little surprised.
This Nishino-san is almost like a producer than himself. He has written the script and recommended the songs. Now he even wants to be responsible for the choreography of the main creators. I heard that his acting skills are very good.
He is really a good actor who is not afraid of hard work and is willing to take responsibility. There are too few people like him in the industry.
"Then wait until the song is officially confirmed before shooting the dance. Nishino-san, don't work too hard. Your job is still an actor, so don't let the small lose the big." Sato Ryouichi also kindly warned.
"I understand, thank you Sato-san." Nishino Kazuki thanked him.
