"Muramatsu-san, let me toast you." Nishino Kazuki raised his glass, clinked it with Muramatsu Shunryo, and drank it all in one gulp.
Previously, Kazuki Nishino accepted Muramatsu Shunryo's invitation to serve as the screenwriter and producer of Nogizaka46's next TV series. Although it was placed on abema TV, he was also prepared to take it seriously.
Today, the person in charge of TV Asahi abemaTV invited Toshiryo Muramatsu, Kazuki Nishino and several other industry insiders to have a meet-and-greet dinner to lay the foundation for cooperation.
I also invited Akimoto Yasushi, but Akimoto said he had something to do and did not come.
AbemaTV itself wants to develop a diversified market, not just its own TV station, and Muramatsu Shunryo is a good direction to explore, and Muramatsu has deliberately attracted Nishino Kazuki, so this small social circle has been formed.
Several people exchanged glasses, and the atmosphere was good.
Although Nishino Kazuki doesn't participate in many such entertainments, he still has no problem coping.
Of course, Muramatsu Toshiryo didn't forget about business. The TV series has been completely decided.
Yasushi Akimoto's original script has been written, and Kazuki Nishino started writing the script during this time. The director of the TV series hired three of the most stalwart people from TV Asahi. They did not have to deal with the problem just because it was a web series.
And the person in charge of the abemaTV project confirmed that there is no problem with the budget.
The initial stage of the project is to start slowly building up the team in February, and the official shooting will probably wait until early March. Nogizaka46 will have its fifth anniversary concert at the end of February, and of course Nana Hashimoto’s graduation on the first day is also included.
"Nishino-kun, my daughter is a fan of yours, please sign her autograph later." The director of abemaTV, who was responsible for stirring up the atmosphere, said drunkenly to Kazuki Nishino.
"Thank you so much for her love." Nishino Kazuki said modestly and then agreed.
This dinner lasted for 3 hours. Nishino Kazuki drank some red wine, but he was not drunk. However, it is true that socializing at the wine table can enhance interpersonal relationships. Muramatsu Shunli now regards Nishino Kazuki as his best junior.
However, the relationship between the wine table and the dinner table is also effective, and it will probably be restored after a good sleep the next day.
Finally, Muramatsu Shunryo invited him to a dinner, and Nishino Kazuki also agreed wholeheartedly. During this period, Muramatsu also talked about how much he cared about and valued the children of Nogizaka, which made Nishino Kazuki a little confused.
Of course, it was just that he talked too much after drinking and didn't take it to heart.

In a large office, Yoshio Konno was sitting in his office chair with one leg propped up and answering the phone.
He looked a little solemn, holding the phone in his hand but just kept listening.
"That's how it is, Konno-san."
"I see."
Yoshio Konno hung up the phone, stood up from his chair, walked to his desk, opened the second drawer on the left side, took out the information, looked through it quickly, then put it in and locked it.
Then, he thought about dialing a number.
The phone rang a few times and was quickly picked up.
"Kitagawa-san, today Muramatsu had dinner with a group of people from TV Asahi again, and Kazuki Nishino was also there." Yoshio Konno continued, "I wonder if he will have an impact on our plan."
Kenji Kitagawa on the other end of the phone probably thought about it for a while, but he didn't seem to be panicked.
"Then let's go as planned first. This matter should have been arranged, right?"
"Well, don't worry, the people who contact the weekly reporters are all trustworthy, and even if they know about it, they won't implicate us." Yoshio Konno said confidently.
"Then let's do it first. Recently, that guy Muramatsu thinks that he can stabilize his situation by building a TV series resource with Yasushi Akimoto and Kazuki Nishino." Kitagawa Kenji continued, "I don't know when he will be kicked out.
What is he like?"
"Is it okay with Yasu Akimoto?" Yoshio Konno asked.
Akimoto Yasushi and his younger brother Akimoto Shinsuke own 50% of the shares of Kitagawa Office. Logically speaking, they should be willing to kick Muramatsu out of this management team. However, it is well known that Akimoto Yasushi has a large number of contacts in the entertainment industry, which is inseparable from his behavior of playing both sides.
"Don't you know our teacher Akimoto? Cooperation is cooperation. When something happens to Muramatsuichi, he will definitely not stand by him." Kitagawa Kenji didn't care.
When AKS was infiltrated by Kyōraku, wasn't it because of his inaction?
Kitagawa Kenji's shares in Kitagawa Office were taken from AKS' share. If Muramatsu Toshiryo is successfully kicked out this time, then the next opponent that should be dealt with is Kyoryu, a small steel ball company, which is the company behind AKS.
Control the company.
Now the small steel ball business is going from bad to worse, and the operation of the 48 series AKS is getting worse and worse. It is natural that it should be eliminated. This is what Kitagawa Kenji thinks.
But it's not his turn yet. At the right moment, he has to deal with Muramatsu Shunryo first.
"Hashimoto's concert will be held next month, isn't it too early to make a move?" Yoshio Konno continued to ask.
"It's only one month in advance. What if we can't shoot the material after graduation? Once the news of her graduation has passed, the popularity will not be as high as it is now, and the time limit has expired."
"I see."
"If you ask someone to sign an agreement with "Shukan Bunshun", the release date must be decided by us. There is no need to be stingy with money." Kitagawa Kenji has also thought about this problem. Hashimoto Nana is not allowed to do this in the group.
For news, the time must be set after graduation.
It is definitely not easy to match the time of shooting material with the graduation time, so it is better to shoot in advance. The best choice is to hide it secretly.
"That's true, but..." Yoshio Konno was a little worried.
"That's okay. Let's do this as soon as possible."
"okay, got it."
Yoshio Konno hung up the phone and took a deep breath. He was actually a little worried about this matter. After all, it was a dirty trick, but he had to do it for his own status.

Nana Hashimoto is currently in her rented house in Tokyo, sitting at her desk reading a novel.
I didn’t go back to Asahikawa for the Chinese New Year this year. Graduation was approaching and I was too busy with work to see my mother and younger brother.
She would send some of the salary she earned every month to her mother. Now she is responsible for part of the family's expenses and the cost of her brother's education. However, the hard times have been over, and the family is no longer so strapped.
.
After I graduate and retire completely, I will have a stable job in Tokyo, my younger brother will study hard, and my mother at home will not have any other worries.
Hashimoto Nanami thinks so. Rather than appearing in front of the camera, she prefers to live alone behind the scenes and have her own living space.
She is a person who likes to be alone and quiet, and is not used to noise or publicity.
Don't be tied down by anything, run freely. Don't obey any command, just listen to the cry from the depths of your body and soul, and run to the ends of the earth.
But it seems that life is not as good as imagined.
