At Fuji TV, Kazuki Nishino met the director of the production bureau of the TV station, who was also introduced by the original director Masaki Miyauchi. The two had a brief encounter.
He was very polite to Kazuki Nishino and invited him to the office for tea and a chat. He didn't leave until the producer of the TV series came over.
"Nishino-san, we happen to have a very suitable book for the September 9 drama this winter. Are you interested?" Producer Takeru Murase asked Nishino Kazuki in the conference room. He himself is the planner of today's drama.
But the producer position of Winter Moon Nine has also been decided, so I have this question.
Kazuki Nishino is different from other celebrities. Since August last year, the ratings of the TV series he starred in have exploded one after another, and his overall popularity has also skyrocketed. Others are still in twists and turns, but he has soared into the sky.
The low-budget movie "Seto Inland Sea" that I just starred in has also been judged by a specialized evaluation company. The return rate is higher than that of some large-scale productions. Regardless of his identity, Kazuki Nishino is already a producer and investor.
It's so delicious.
In the past few years, monthly sales have also been declining, and Fuji TV has been trying to stop the decline.
Murase Ken once joined Nippon Television in 1997 and produced famous TV series such as "14-year-old Mother" and "Love Is the Way". Later, in 2008, he was valued by Fuji TV, so he brought two
His subordinates moved to Fuji and worked in the TV drama production center there. Fuji TV also valued him and made him the producer of at least one TV series every year.
This year, he was appointed as the producer of Dongyuejiu. His status has been improved, but the pressure has also increased.
Nishino Kazuki didn't expect that he would mention this, and he was thoughtful.
Because the ratings of Yuejiu dramas in recent years have not been very good, including the Yuejiu drama "Love Song" that was broadcast this spring. The first episode was just aired recently, with a ratings of 10%, which is the first episode of Yuejiu in history.
The penultimate one is really miserable.
The protagonist is the old handsome guy Masaharu Fukuyama, and the heroine is the new actress Sakura Fujiwara.
Perhaps because he just announced his marriage last year, Masaharu Fukuyama can't resist this drama, let alone the newcomers.
The screenwriter is new and the producer is experienced, but it’s of no use.
These two took the blame and were very unlucky.
There will be many pitfalls in the coming days, and this year coincides with the Olympic year, so the TV series will definitely be affected, and maybe it will be a hit again.
"If it's suitable, I won't say no."
Anyway, it is Nishino Kazuki who has the final say whether it is suitable or not.
However, Yue Jiu will definitely star in the future, which is also a reflection of his status as an actor. He will also participate in morning dramas including NHK TV stations if he has the opportunity.
This is a way to expand your influence in the circle, in order to obtain better advertising resources.
"Okay, I'll give you a review after the script is completed."
"No problem, Kenze Ken-san."
"By the way, does Nishino-san have any suggestions for casting actors for this drama?" Murase Ken flipped through the information. There were many suitable actor names written on it, and many of them were crossed out, "because screenwriter Nogi said
You are also one of the screenwriters, so let me ask you."
Kazuki Nishino knows the script. He wrote part of the script based on Akiko Nogi's plan, so he knows the entire content.
This is a relatively relaxed romantic urban comedy. Since the previous "Escape is Shameful But Useful" was popular among young people, the script this time is also in a similar style, and Akiko Nogi is good at it.
"Have you decided on the male and female protagonists?" Kazuki Nishino asked. Basically, one of the two roles must have been decided.
as expected.
"Well, the main heroine has been decided, and she is Yoshioka Riho from A-Team Agency." Murase Ken turned over two pages and then said calmly.
"Are we going to use new actors?"
Although Riho Yoshioka has participated in NHK's morning dramas, he has only participated in one TV series on a private broadcasting station, let alone a starring role. He has very little experience in participating in TV series.
"Well, her acting skills are good. Although she lacks experience, it shouldn't be a problem. Her temperament and appearance are consistent with the character."
When Kazuki Nishino saw the name of the producer, he knew that this drama turned out to be just a style attempt by Fuji TV, with a new producer and a new protagonist, and experienced old people in other places, so the producer's
The right to speak is not very high, and the screenwriters and planners have most of the power in casting.
"That's okay." Nishino Kazuki didn't comment on the decision.
"Does anyone have any recommendations for the male protagonist Nishino-san?" Takeru Murase's eyes are a bit small. When he looked up at Nishino Kazuki, he was still squinting, and he couldn't see clearly when he looked at each other.
Nishino Kazuki pondered for a moment, and then said: "The male protagonist of this drama is about thirty years old, so we need to find someone with a mature and stable temperament, and not too gentle in appearance."
He didn't make any suggestions for candidates, he simply stated his requirements.
"Well, I understand." Murase Ken nodded.
"It will be fine if Murase-san, the producer, and Ogi-san make the decision."
Murase Ken was also relieved. He actually had an idea of the actor selection this time, but he was also afraid that Nishino Kazuki would make some strong recommendations and disrupt the plan. Originally, he came up first and asked Nishino Kazuki to recommend the male lead.
When he proposes a candidate, he will directly reject it if he doesn't like it, and then give the other party some sweeteners, such as the right to appoint several supporting actors, etc.
These are small exchanges of benefits.
Unexpectedly, Nishino Kazuki was very polite and made it clear that he did not want this power.
Then you might as well give the other person the benefits you have planned for.
"Then it's up to you to choose Nishino-san for these two roles. Please don't shirk it." He made it clear enough. Of course Nishino Kazuki didn't refuse, and the power does not have to expire.
"I see."
"Thank you for your hard work. We will contact you in a few days." Murase Ken stood up and bowed to Nishino Kazuki.
The latter returned the gift and left the conference room.
Sitting in my business car, I leaned on the back seat and thought. These two characters are supporting roles. One of them is the female lead, the protagonist's friend, a college classmate, about 20 years old.
Nishino Kazuki recalled the plot, and suddenly a candidate came to mind.
Then he made a phone call.
........
Hori Mina was leaning next to Nishino Nanase. The two were chatting and laughing when suddenly the phone rang.
It happened that the mobile phone was placed next to the table, and Nishino Nanase also saw the caller. He was a little surprised in his heart, but kept his expression.
I thought to myself that Hori Mina was indeed very familiar with him. Could it be that he took the initiative to let Hori-chan reveal what happened last time?
"Sorry, Nanase-san, I'm going to take a call."
"Okay." Nishino Nanase smiled gently, indicating that it was okay.
Houli ran out the door and pressed the answer button in the corridor.
"Hey, Heshu-san~"
"Hori-chan, what are you doing?" Nishino Kazuki's voice came over, and he was polite.
Houli is quite happy, because every time Nishino Kazuki calls, he directly asks her to do something, but this time it doesn't seem to be the case.
It seems that because I explained to Na-chan that his good intentions were known to him and he was affirmed!
"No, I was chatting with Nanase-san just now, and we were talking about you." Hori Mionna raised the corner of her mouth and showed a smile.
"say what?"
"It's okay, it's okay, you don't have to praise me, hehe."
"??" Nishino Kazuki didn't understand what she was talking about, so he had to say what he was thinking about just now, "I have a TV series on Fuji TV that lacks a female lead. Are you interested?"
In fact, there are a lot of people vying for the female lead in TV series, especially new actors, who are eager to have such an opportunity, and small offices are even more eager to get the lead.
"Ah??" Houli was a little confused, "TV series??"
"Yes, it just so happens that I am also one of the screenwriters of this show."
Houli only felt that her heartbeat was very fast, and she seemed to be able to hear the thumping sound.
"I, I don't know if I can do it." Her tone changed and she sounded a little panicked.
"It's okay, I'm just playing a college student, so I don't need to have very good acting skills." Nishino Kazuki comforted her. After all, her tool monkey also helped her a lot, so it's understandable to give her a little sweetness.
"Then...then I have to ask my agent Sang."
"I will ask the TV station to send the invitation to your operation."
"Hmm, thank you Heshu Sang~~~" Houli said her thanks in a very sweet voice. She held her phone and bowed to it, which was a bit funny.
"You're welcome. Your idols will basically follow this path in the future. You might as well experience it first."
"Yeah, yeah." Houli agreed, acting like a very well-behaved boy.
Then the phone hung up.
"Yeah!" Houli jumped for joy.
"What are you so happy about, Miona?" Kitano Rinako appeared like a ghost from behind Monuri, who had just come around the corner.
"Um...my brother called and said he bought me his favorite mentaiko and wanted to send it to me." Houli replied hurriedly.
"Ah, your brother is so kind." Kitano Rinako could still remember the brother of Miona whom she met that day. He seemed to be a polite person, and now it seems that he really loves his sister.
