Tokyo Bubble Life Chapter 635

It was the morning of the next day when Naoki Nagayama saw the news in the newspaper.

“It's really amazing, I actually went there overnight”

Looking at the underground casinos in the newspaper photos and the descriptions such as "Yamaguchi-gumi Five Tigers" between the lines, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but cheer for Hamasaki Shogo and the old man with him.

With such a big fuss, no one will think about KTV anymore~

After closing the newspaper, Naoki Nagayama drove slowly to the studio. Since he talked to Yuko Tanaka yesterday, it was time to prepare for the movie "Summer of Kikujiro".

“Naoki-san~Good morning~”

Xing Jiahua at the front desk saw Naoki Nagayama, who had not seen him for several days, and showed a bright smile.

“Morning~” Naoki Nagayama nodded, “Hanchan, are Otomo-san and Shuichi-san here?”

“Xiu Yisang hasn't come to the office these two days, only Otomo-sang is here.” Xing Jiahua said, reviewing her memories of the morning.

“That's it~ Then you can continue your work~”

Nagayama Naoki nodded and walked directly towards the office. Of course, there were continuous greetings along the way.

In the office, Yoshimura Otomo, who was alone, looked a little lonely, as if there were always endless files to process.

“Otomo-san, are you busy so early?” Nagayama Naoki joked after opening the door, “I can't keep my hair!”

For a Mediterranean person, guarding hair is one of the few obsessions. He looked at Naoki Nagayama's thick black hair and said viciously,

“Zhi Shusang, believe it or not, I will pluck out your hair and transplant it to my head!”

“Hey” Naoki Nagayama frowned and groaned, “Otomo-san, you are too cruel~”

“Hmph” Yoshimura Otomo looked at Nagayama Naoki who walked in and asked, “Why are you here today?”

“I haven't seen Otomo-san for several days, haven't I?”

“Speak to the important point!”

“Well, I actually want to know about the specific project schedule of our Shuyu Pictures in the second half of the year.” Naoki Nagayama quickly changed his tone and said seriously.

“Project schedule.”

Yoshimura Otomo was confused, "Didn't I sign it for you before?" "Love Has Ended Like the Rain" is currently being filmed, followed by "Hot Blood High School 2" and "Midnight Ring 2", the release dates are July, October and November."

“Wouldn't this be free in August and September?” Nagayama Naoki patted the table, his tone full of regret, “What a pity! It's a good opportunity to make money!”

Yoshimura Otomo's eyes turned into dead fish eyes:

“Zhi Shusang, there's no need to be so exaggerated. If you have anything to say, just say it. Do you have a new idea?”

“Ahem~” Nagayama Naoki coughed strategically, “Otomo-san, didn't I write a script for a movie some time ago~ I've been very busy these past few months.”

“So you want to shoot it in July and release it in September?” Yoshimura Otomo added.

"Um"

Nagayama Naoki nodded. Although adding a temporary project would disrupt the production schedule of Shuyu Pictures, the movie "Kikujiro's Summer" will definitely be very popular if it is screened just after the summer!

What's more, yesterday I made an appointment with Yuko Tanaka because of a quick conversation.

At this moment, Yoshimura Otomo seemed to suddenly remember something, took out an envelope and said, "So, Naoki-san and Tanaka Yuko were together yesterday to discuss this movie, right?"

“!!” Naoki Nagayama was shocked, “Otomo-san! How did you know that Yuko-san and I were together?!”

“Of course the paparazzi caught it!”

Yoshimura Otomo handed over the envelope, which contained several photos of Naoki Nagayama and Yuko Tanaka shopping in Ginza.

Naoki Nagayama slapped his head. I was careless. I stayed too long at the Tree Friends Capital in Ginza these days and forgot about that kind of place. I definitely can't go there without makeup!

“But, how come Otomo-san has these photos?”

Yoshimura Otomo sighed: "If you deal with the media more, you will find that these paparazzi reporters are the same as other migrant workers. They are just making a living."

“There are so many scandals about Naoki-san, it doesn't attract much attention anymore! It's not worth it! It's better to come directly to the door in exchange for some hush money.”

Nagayama Naoki Mo Ming was a little angry. What does it mean to not pay attention to because of too many scandals?

Yoshimura Otomo continued: "Actually, Naoki-san, the negative news is just scandals at most. This year, just to deal with the negative news about other artists in the agency, we have spent a lot of money to suppress the news."

"The negative aspects of other artists?" Naoki Nagayama really didn't pay much attention to these, "What are they?"

Yoshimura Otomo glanced at Nagayama Naoki. Originally, he and Shuichi-san had made up their minds that they would not talk to him about these complicated things. They wanted Naoki-san to make movies with peace of mind. All other tricks in the entertainment industry were used. Just let him block it~

But since I asked

“For example, Ozaki Yutaka has a drinking problem, Saito Yuki has a boyfriend. The three Maoyan sisters went to a nightclub to have fun, and Chiko Aoyama was photographed drinking~”

“?!” Nagayama Naoki didn't expect that his idols would have so many problems?

“These are actually small things to say, but they are still very troublesome to deal with.” Fangcun Otomo sighed, “Fortunately, the relationship between Shuyou and the media has been handled very well for so long.”

Nagayama Naoki just came back to his senses from the revelation just now: "How come you didn't hear anything negative about Ito Junko?"

"Ah, speaking of it, although Ito Junko is our first idol, she is indeed the one who has developed the most steadily." Yoshimura Otomo laughed, "Although the next few songs are not as good as those given by Naoki-san, they are still good. Squeezed into the top 50 of Oricon."

“For now, releasing new songs, holding concerts, participating in announcements, and variety shows. Junko-chan is already a mature idol artist!”

Nagayama Naoki was surprised: "Is this really the case?"

"It's not too busy, but it's not very free either. Junko-chan doesn't have that many ideas," Otomo Yoshimura said. "However, several other artists, especially female artists, don't have any big projects this year, so their popularity has inevitably declined. I can rely on negativity to increase my exposure.”

Junko Ito is like the most standard idol in the entertainment industry, like a perfect doll.

Speaking of which, the reputations of Ozaki Yutaka, Saito Yuki, and Aoyama Chikako are all mixed with controversy in memory. Perhaps such talents seem to be truly alive, so they are impressive.

However, it would be too miserable to be reduced to using negative support for exposure.

“Since they all seem to be very idle, let's let them participate in future movies!” Naoki Nagayama said.

"Well, in "High School 2" and "Midnight Ring 2", there are basically no female idol roles. There is no point in making a cameo." Yoshimura Otomo said, "As for Ozaki Yutaka, it would be a pity to let him fight."

“Don't let me think about it~”

Nagayama Naoki thought about it over and over, and suddenly an idea came to his mind: "Otomo-san, if you want to say that there are many roles, then the TV series has many roles! And the exposure period is very long, at least several months!

Don't we store the scripts of two TV series? It's better to let them make TV series! "

Yoshimura Otomo thought for a moment: "Naoki-san is talking about "Century of Love" and "Tokyo Love Story"?"

"Let's do "Century of Love"! The emotional line is more complicated! There are more characters." Naoki Nagayama still doesn't want to film "Tokyo Love Story" just like this.

“That's it, let me take a look at the schedules of each of the idols.”

Yoshimura Otomo took out a thick notepad, recorded the various schedules of his artists on a table, and then compared them.

“If Naoki-san wants to film, the artists will have schedules in August.”

“So, if we shoot one month in advance and shoot while broadcasting, it will be released in September.” Naoki Nagayama estimated using the shooting and broadcasting mode.

"Yes, so there may be a conflict with Naoki-san's movie." "That doesn't matter much. If I were to shoot, I would have finished shooting in July and edited in August." Naoki Nagayama said about his own shooting Kuai is very confident, "When the time comes, I can shoot "Century of Love" as a break."

"this"

Yoshimura Otomo was still very confident in Naoki Nagayama's shooting ability, and he had no objection, but he quickly thought of another question.

“Naoki-san, if we don't finish all the filming this time, there will be a problem in one aspect.”

“What aspect?”

"The previous two TV series at the TV station were filmed by us and purchased directly by Fuji TV." Yoshimura Otomo said, "Generally speaking, TV dramas are led by the TV station's production bureau, but this time if it is us If it is filmed and broadcasted at the same time, will the TV station buy it? At what price?"

"Fuji TV has such a good relationship with us, so they should be very happy!" Nagayama Naoki was a little unconvinced, "Besides, we still have a framework agreement!"

“The framework agreement is just a program cooperation. Purchasing TV series is an act of purchasing,” Otomo Yoshimura said. “After all, TV stations also have ratings considerations, and the production bureau does not want outsiders to compete with them for credit.”

“But...this is my script, Naoki Nagayama! It will definitely be a hit when it's filmed!”

"Naoki-san is indeed very trusted in film production, and the screenwriter is also very talented." Yoshimura Otomo said, "If you sell the script to a TV station, they will definitely accept it immediately, but if you want to film and broadcast it on the TV station, .In addition, our protagonists are all idol artists of our company, so in business, there is still a chance of being rejected."

Nagayama Naoki didn't believe it. He decided to talk to an acquaintance at Fuji TV about this matter today to see if the other party really wanted to think twice.

I called the familiar Sugiura Oyasu and Nishi Rumi and asked them to go to the coffee shop where they met before for coffee.

Naoki Nagayama drove directly to the coffee shop near the Fuji TV Shinjuku building. I still remember that the last time I came here, it was here that I negotiated the "Boys Over Flowers" project with the two of them.

It was still winter at that time, and there was still snow on the road.

But now, the bright sunlight passes through the transparent display window, illuminating the originally dark interior without reservation, making the originally quiet cafe a little more lively.

“Zhi Shu Mulang!”

Sugiura Oyasu and Nishi Rumi were naturally one step ahead and greeted Naoki Nagayama.

“Da Taisang and Nishirumi-san, how are you doing recently?” Nagayama Naoki has not been in frequent contact with them during this time.

“Haha, it's like meeting the grandpa.” Nishirumi joked with a smile, “Naoki-san, I've obviously just met him before~”

“Maybe it's because I've been busy with other things these days, and it feels like a long time has passed~” Nagayama Naoki explained while asking the clerk for a cup of Italian coffee.

“Naoki-san, you can come to the TV station to see us!”

“I'm going to invite you to drink coffee~”

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Sugiura Oitai said: "We were shocked when we suddenly received a call from Naoki-san today. Naoki-san is a person who goes to Sanboden for everything, and he is in this cafe."

“So, what's going on with Naoki-san?”

"Haha, there is a script for a TV series. I want you to take a look." Naoki Nagayama handed the copied script of "Century of Love" to Sugiura Oyasu and Nishi Rumi. "We plan to film it in a while. Take a look. What do you think?"

"Oh? Naoki-san's TV drama script?" Otasu Sugiura took it, "Then I want to take a good look!"

“Please give me more advice~”

So, Sugiura Oyasu and Nishi Rumi began to read the script of "Love Century".

When Nagayama Naoki's coffee was delivered, the two of them had expressions of relish on their faces, and they were watching in rapt attention. When Nagayama Naoki's coffee was finished, the two of them were still watching in rapt attention.

Sugiura Taichi was the first to raise his head: "The modern urban love drama Naoki-san really knows a lot about love!"

. What gives you this idea.

Nishimei also raised her head and said: "The ex-girlfriend has become the eldest brother's fiancée. Isn't this the future eldest sister-in-law? The current one is a happy enemy, and there is also a person who has a crush on the current one and the protagonist."

"Naoki-san, this love line is so complicated!" Nishi Rumi smiled, "It's so attractive! Sure enough, only Naoki-san can think of such a complicated relationship!"

"."thank you.

This is one of the ceilings of Japanese love dramas, mainly due to the strength of Japanese screenwriters.

Nagayama Naoki complained in his mind and asked: "Do you think it's good?"

“Hey, it can be said to be one of the most outstanding scripts in recent years.” Sugiura Otayoshi directly affirmed it.

“So Taisang, will Fuji TV support the production of this TV series?” Naoki Nagayama then asked.

Sugiura Oyasu and Nishi Rumi looked at each other: "Does Naoki-san mean to sell this script to Fuji TV?"

“No, I mean, if Shuyu Pictures has full rights to produce this TV series, will Fuji TV purchase it?” Naoki Nagayama asked.

"Of course, if it is produced, I guarantee that the TV station will purchase it!" Otasu Sugiura nodded confidently, "Naoki-san's script is very good, and the filming will be excellent."

Nagayama Naoki then asked: "So, what if it is filmed and broadcast at the same time?"

"Broadcasting while filming?" Sugiura Otaishi hesitated for a moment, "Nao Shumulang, filming and broadcasting at the same time, is generally a model used by TV dramas within the production bureau. If it is purchased externally, it is purchased as a whole."

“In other words, if the script of this drama is sold to a TV station and the TV station production bureau takes the lead in producing it, is it okay?”

This is actually a difference between whether I am the main person or the tree friend is the main person.

Nishimei nodded: "Naoki-san, if we want to sell it, we can acquire the script and entrust Shuyu Pictures to produce it."

It seems that there is no difference. With the relationship between Sugiura Oyasu and Nishi Rumi, the cost of commissioning the production must be high, and the leading power in the production process will definitely be in their own hands.

However, it is inevitable that they will be involved in the selection of some characters, and the direction of the plot will also depend on the decision of the TV station, and the director may be changed temporarily.

However, Nagayama Naoki is still a little uncomfortable. "Love Century" is a TV series that is destined to be a hit. He doesn't want anyone to restrict it from above. He wants to keep all the copyrights with Shuyou Pictures.

“Well, I heard that there are TV series that are entirely produced by outsiders, right?”

Sugiura Tai Tai nodded: "Yes, Toho Toei's TV production company, the TV station will occasionally entrust the production of some TV series."

Nishi Rumi quickly explained: "But that is very rare. Today's TV dramas are basically led by the production bureau, and the TV production companies only cooperate."

“It seems that Shuyou still doesn't have the reputation of an established company~”

Through the reactions of the two of them, Naoki Nagayama also knew that as an emerging film production company, Shuyou does not have a strong brand in the field of TV series.

“Zhishumulberry”

Nisrumi wanted to persuade him, but Nagayama Naoki stopped him.

“Nishirumi-san, I just want to ask a question. The specific production is still in my imagination~”

Sugiura Tai Tai thought for a while:

“Naoki-san, why don't you leave me a copy of the script, and I'll take it to Minister Takano Ikki. Maybe the minister is willing to give Shuyou a chance to film.”

“Haha, thank you very much.”

Naoki Nagayama left the script to Sugiura Oitai, but he also knew that the TV station production bureau supported Shuyu's full production, and it was unlikely that it would be filmed and broadcast at the same time.

In the following time, the three people chatted about other programs, such as "Twilight Meow" and Kitty Club, etc., as if they had put this matter behind them~
