Chapter 94 Disillusionment and Special Announcement Invitation
November is coming soon, and the end of the year is also the busiest time for many artists and actors. Major TV stations will produce many special edition variety shows with luxurious productions and famous guests.
Nishino Kazuki is very popular right now, so he has appeared in programs on major TV stations in recent days.
At noon, in Hiropro's brokerage office, he received some not-so-good news.
After an investigation by the firm, it was found that the TV series adaptation rights for the award-winning manga "Escape is Shameful But Useful" had already been acquired by TBS TV station. Kazuki Nishino had just racked his brains to write a little bit of the script.
Thinking of it, the plan was immediately shattered.
Murakami Nobu sat on a chair in the office, looking at Nishino Kazuki who looked shocked and gave a rare smile.
"Let me just say that writing a script is not that simple. Now do you want to create another script?"
Nishino Kazuki now feels like a salted fish. Unexpectedly, on the day he watched the fireworks display, he said he wanted to become a salted fish and his words came true. He completely lost his dream.
But that's okay, at least I don't have to frantically learn how to write scripts, and I don't have to worry about choosing a TV drama script. I can just choose one from the TV station.
But Kazuki Nishino also has a goal in mind. He has to get on board with the "Escape from Shameful But Useful" movie. He has to find a way to squeeze out the original male lead Hoshino Gen. This is a TV series that has exploded in ratings in recent years. Not only can it compete with Oricon's popular heroine
The most important thing about starring opposite Aragaki Yui, who has been ranked among the top three artists for two consecutive years, is that it can boost her popularity and make herself a good ratings medicine for TV dramas. Only in this way can her career as an actor go more smoothly.
This drama was originally a popular drama on TBS. The ratings for the first episode were only 10.2%. Although it was not too bad, it was still a bit unsatisfactory for a popular actress like Gakki. However, the ratings started from the second episode.
It climbed directly to 12%, and then went up step by step. By the end of the last episode, it actually exceeded 20% and reached 20.8%. It was so popular that it suddenly made Yui Aragaki, a popular actress, call for help.
Strength has reached another level.
The only drama that year that could compete with this drama was "Doctor-X", and this medical drama was already in its fourth season, and I couldn't join the cast anymore.
Nishino Kazuki thought for a while, then looked at Murakami Nobu, and said: "Can you contact TBS TV station? Ask them how the creation of this drama is going?"
"Why are you so persistent?" Murakami Nobu didn't understand why Kazuki Nishino was so focused on the script of that manga, "It's obviously just a female-led manga."
"Could it be that...you have a girlish heart?" Murakami complained ruthlessly.
"Go, go, don't come here anymore, this is business, please remember." Nishino Kazuki turned over and got off the sofa, then walked up to him and picked up the notice list that Murakami Shin had just compiled.
The itinerary is full of schedules, and it seems that Kazuki Nishino doesn't have much rest time, but he gets paid every time he appears, especially a simple variety show, which is much easier than filming.
"Okay, I understand." Seeing how solemn Nishino Kazuki was, Murakami agreed without saying much.
"By the way, there is an invitation from TV Tokyo on the second page. Take a look." Murakami also has an electronic version on his laptop.
"The male protagonist of TV TOKYO's short film "Nogizaka Under Construction"?" Kazuki Nishino frowned, "Is this a Nogizaka46 variety show?"
Murakami nodded: "To be honest, I was surprised to receive this invitation, because this is a late-night idol group, and with your status, it is basically impossible to follow."
"But I still didn't reject it right away, what do you think?" Murakami Nobu knew how popular Nishino Kazuki was now. When he acted in stage plays, it would have been good to be associated with an idol group, but now he doesn't.
Nishino Kazuki thought for a while and then asked: "What type of job is this? Will you let me appear in a variety show or something like that?"
"I've asked before. This program allows you to shoot a few short films with several members. It's that kind of plot."
"What kind?"
"It's that kind of delusional love, a regular episode of an idol variety show, haven't you seen it?"
Nishino Kazuki glanced at him. Has Murakami, a man with a cold personality, ever seen such an idol variety show?
Combined with the fact that he knew a lot about Erika Ikuta during the stage play, could it be that he is the one who has a cold face towards others, and after returning home, holding a pillow and wearing short-sleeve shirts, he watched the idol variety show with a silly smile and shouted "Kawa"
"E" man?
"What's that look in your eyes?" Murakami was confused by his look.
"Nothing." Nishino Kazuki put the schedule on the table, pulled out the chair opposite Murakami and sat on it.
"I asked about it, and the other person who came to you also had a recommendation from Banana Man. Back then, they recommended you from Sony Music's musical, so now it's the other way around."
Nishino Kazuki, who started a new life with a stage play, also remembers Banana Man’s recommendation.
"That's what I said, but you are very busy now, so there is nothing wrong with refusing. However, the shooting time is only one afternoon, and each short film is often very short." Murakami continued.
"Well... we can consider it, what do you think we should do?" Nishino Kazuki asked him in turn.
Nishino Kazuki thought to himself that I have had close contact with several of your Nogizaka top guys, so why would there be any need to make a delusional short film?
"The other party is quite sincere, and the shooting time can be adjusted according to our schedule. It doesn't take long, and part of your popularity is due to the stage play being tied to Ikuta. Don't think it won't work if the idol group leaves the village. In their
There are many fans in the circle."
"Okay, then I'll take it. It won't make my number of female fans drop, right?" Nishino Kazuki asked seriously.
Murakami replied with an indifferent look.
"At best, he will just become the mortal enemy of idol otakus, and people on Twitter will probably shout slogans saying that Kazuki Nishino must die."
"..."
"Then I will reply to the TV station."
"good."
........
In the afternoon, Kazuki Nishino once again came to the crew of "Fall in Love with the Loser Me". Although his climax plot has ended, there will be more scenes for him later. Today happened to be a filming day, so he came to take some pictures of himself.
lens.
When she met the main protagonist Kyoko Fukada, she looked very tired. After meeting Kazuki Nishino, she cheered up and said hello.
Yasuda Saki also came over. Nishino Kazuki was chatting about the TV series he was going to take on next, and also mentioned that he wanted to have a private chat with the screenwriter Akiko Nogi. Yasuda Saki's eyes lit up.
"Maybe I can make some arrangements." She thought for a while, "I have a friend who happens to know her."
"That's all up to you." Nishino Kazuki thanked him. Miss Yasuda might actually have some connections.
