Tokyo Bubble Life Chapter 675

 “It's so annoying!”

Hearing the sound of propellers coming from overhead again, Fuji TV's Otasu Sugiura complained.

The floor of the office is high, and whenever an airship flies overhead, the sound is louder.

 “Otaisan, this is romance! Isn't it romantic!” Nishi Rumi complained, “I'm so jealous! I don't know who gave Nakamori Akina a birthday gift!”

Sugiura Oitai seemed to have seen through everything: "Do you still need to ask? Of course it's Naoki Nagayama! It's definitely that guy who did it!!"

"Huh? How are you so sure?!" Nishirumi said in disbelief, "Naoki-san is indeed possible, but would he really do it so exaggeratedly? Didn't the media, Naoki-san and Akinchan all say so? Are they just good friends?"

Sugiura Oyasu rolled his eyes: "Nishi Rumi has been in the entertainment industry for so long, why don't she still understand that the media's words cannot be trusted?"

　　Akimoto Yasushi, who originally didn't want to participate in the discussion, couldn't help but interject at this time: “Sometimes when judging the relationship between men and women, you can't just look at what they say, but what they do!”

“Didn't you read the reports from the past few days? In the “Musicstation” program, didn't Naoki-san invite Akina Nakamori as a special guest in the first episode? We even shot the short film together!”

"this"

“In addition to previous movies and songs. Have you ever seen Naoki Nagayama have such close contact with other female artists? A lot of resources have been given to Akina Nakamori?!”

 Akimoto Yasushi's face was full of determination:

"Let me tell you clearly, the two of them are dating! It's still a relationship with a good relationship and a marriage as a prerequisite!"

Nishimi is still a bit emotional at first, maybe subconsciously she doesn't want Naoki-san to be seduced by some woman. But after hearing the rational analysis of her colleagues, she finally admitted:

“Oh, Naoki-san, such a handsome person, is so serious! Da Tai-san, can you tell me when it started?”

Sugiura Oitai has been silent since the beginning, as if he was thinking about something. At this time, he said:

“It must have been very early. Naoki-san seems to have known Nakamori Akina before she debuted. It should have been before Naoki-san sold "World Wonder Story" to Fuji TV for the first time."

"So early! Akina Nakamori was only 15 years old at that time, and Naoki-san actually liked younger people." Nishirumi complained silently. She was almost 27, and she was already a proper older city girl, so she definitely had no chance.

However, Sugiura Oitai did not dwell on Nagayama Naoki's emotional problems. Instead, he asked Akimoto Yasu:

“That program on TV Asahi Akimoto-san has very high ratings, right?”

"Hey, I asked an acquaintance about it, and the ratings have reached the level of "Night Hit" and "THEBESTTEN". If it were switched to prime time, it might even exceed it." Yasushi Akimoto said with emotion at this time, " Naoki Nagayama's skill in program production is no less than his creative talent and directing skills!”

Originally, I thought that a variety show like "Dusk Meow" that could be popular in neon would be considered the pinnacle. After all, there are so many producers in the entertainment industry, and there are only a few who can leave famous programs.

However, I didn't expect that after Naoki Nagayama collaborated with TV Asahi, he would actually produce another variety show that was not inferior.

Yasushi Akimoto continued: "In the second issue, Seiko Matsuda has been invited as a special guest. It seems that she wants to determine the top sister in the idol world."

"The gimmick is very attractive. Music chart-type programs have a long life!" Otasu Sugiura sighed. He already regretted it. It would have been better if he could have tried harder to persuade Minister Takano. Isn't it just a TV series? ~

How about letting Naoki-san take the photo? Now he has given his competitors a big trump card

At this time, a person walked into the preparation office of "Dusk Meow Meow" with a document. After seeing Sugiura Oyasu and Akimoto Yasusu, he handed over the document:

 "Sugiursan, Akimoto-san, this is the data of yesterday's "Dusk Meow Meow"."

 “Hi, Arigado.”

Sugiura Otayoshi took it and after taking a look at a few key data, he sighed:

 “Alas, it has indeed dropped again.”

Yasushi Akimoto took it and read it: "The ratings are still fluctuating within the normal range, but the interaction rate, calls and letters from fans have been declining compared to before!"

The fluctuation in ratings may be due to the fact that the theme of this issue is not very attractive, and may continue to rise in the next issue. However, the decline in other data represents the decline in the potential of the program. To put it simply, one deduction of blood, one Deduction upper limit

“Variety shows like ours that are broadcast every day will lose their appeal as long as there is no freshness. We have encountered this a few times before~” Nishi Rumi looked at it openly, “Haven't we already solved it~”

“Those times, it was Nagayama Naoki's idea.” Sugiura Otai regretted even more.

 “Ah this”

Nishimi also knows that Naoki Nagayama is now in an awkward period with Fuji TV, and at this time, he wants Naoki Nagayama to come and help again.

 Akimoto Yasushi listened thoughtfully to the conversation between the two people.

 He felt that he should do something.

The entertainment industry in Tokyo always responds very quickly, especially to such major news, especially when the protagonist of the news is on the TV station.

 In the afternoon, Akina Nakamori came to Fuji TV to record "Night Hit", which will be broadcast next Monday.

 Originally Akina Mori was not used in this episode of "Night Hit" because "Ten Commandments" had already been played. However, this time the record has the song "Sunny Day" on the back, so I decided to promote it again.

  It can be said that Naoki Nagayama increased the workload for Akina

 “Ms. Akina Nakamori! Please wait a moment!”

 After getting out of the car, before walking to the elevator, Akina Nakamori was blocked in the aisle by sensitive reporters.

In an instant, reporters who appeared out of nowhere surrounded Nakamori Akina and her group, and the flash lights made the originally dark parking garage as bright as day.

In addition to Fuji TV's own reporters, there are also many well-informed entertainment reporters. After a morning, almost everyone knows the whereabouts of Akina Nakamori.

"Akinsan, is this company promotion or a private act?" "Ms. Akina! Who planned the birthday celebration?" "Is it a fan? Or an admirer?" "Did Ms. Akina know in advance?" "Akinchan, Is it Naoki Nagayama?" "Ms. Akina, how are you feeling now?"

Questions came at Akina Nakamori like machine guns, while Akiyukifusa and Maki Ueda used their bodies to separate the excited reporters and tried their best to clear the way to the elevator.

Originally, Akina Nakamori, as an artist, always had to reply when encountering such a situation, but today, although Akina Nakamori had a smile on her face, she had no intention of responding at all. She just talked about private Marseilles, and then moved towards the TV station building. Walk inside.

 She just wanted to keep this surprise in her heart.

 “Mingnsan, please give me some response!”

As the elevator door was about to close, and Akina Nakamori's figure was about to disappear in the elevator, a reporter pleaded loudly.

Nakamori Akina glanced at the crowd of people outside the door, thinking of the airship still hovering in the sky, an impulse suddenly surged in her heart.

 She walked quickly to the front of the elevator door, and then a bright smile appeared on her face:

 “I am very happy today! Very happy! Very happy!!”

The reporters who were able to come here were unquestionably professional. The sound of the shutter clicked for a while until the elevator door was completely closed.

In the elevator, Akina Nakamori's face flushed, she held her pounding chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

Next to him, Maki Ueda was a little confused: "Why did Akinchan say that at the end?"

During the commercial recording in the morning, some people wanted to be interviewed, but Akina Nakamori did not leave a word.

“Naoki-san gave me a gift in front of everyone and wished me a happy birthday.” Akina Nakamori's tone was full of joy, “At least, I want to tell him in front of everyone how I felt about receiving the gift!!

 What you say in front of reporters should be spread quickly. Naoki-san will definitely see it soon! ! "

Akiko Fusa shook his head. Akinchan, what do you think of the media? billboard? Wish wall?

If you want to tell your mood, just make a phone call. I all know that you two have a pager that can only communicate with each other!

Your couple really don't worry about it. Everyone knows a gift, and a reply returns to the public. What is this doing? Are you talking to the public screen world?

 Don't you know how much more workload our brokers and firms will have to add? !

 In the morning, I communicated with President Huajian of Yanyin for a long time

After putting on some makeup and singing clothes in the lounge, Akina Nakamori walked into the studio.

The recording of "Night Hit" has not started yet, and the guests who came are all chatting in groups. However, after seeing Akina Nakamori, the studio even fell silent for a short time.

 At least today, Akina Nakamori is the absolute protagonist in the entertainment industry!

Nakamori Akina did not expect this situation, and her body became a little stiff in the eyes of everyone. Fortunately at this time:

 "Akinchan! Happy birthday!" Koizumi Kyoko came over, took Akina's arm and walked towards the seat.

"Thank you."

 While still saying in the ear of a good friend, "Akinchan, you are really enviable and jealous today!"

"I didn't expect it," Akina Nakamori whispered to her friend, "I was very surprised when I saw it." "That's even more enviable! I want to receive such a gift too!" Kyoko Koizumi said in frustration, " Unfortunately, my birthday is still half a year away.”

 But whether any fans would spend huge sums of money to celebrate Kyoko Koizumi's birthday was beyond her scope of consideration.

As the two of them sat down, the air in the studio seemed to start to flow again, and everyone started chatting again.

However, there were many people paying attention to the area around Akina Nakamori, and some even came over to chat. Tahara Toshihiko, relying on his familiarity with Akina Nakamori, hurried over and asked:

“Akinchan is Naoki-san, right? It must be his, right?”

Nakamori Akina rolled her eyes, neither admitting nor denying. In this studio full of cameras and microphones, who knows if there is a machine recording the highlights.

“What a big deal! Three airships will cost a lot of money!” Toshihiko Tahara also realized it and began to change the topic.

 “About a few million?” Hayami Yu answered from the side.

 “It should be more than that.” Toshihiko Tahara said.

“I really want Junjun, please give me one on my birthday!” Koizumi Kyoko interjected.

"what are you thinking about!"

 Then everyone started discussing how much it would cost to celebrate a birthday like this and where to customize it.

 Akina Nakamori, who was originally somewhat independent in the circle, suddenly found that she was now the center of a group of idols.

 The entertainment industry is such a realistic place. If you have capital and fame, you will be the center of everyone's attention. And there is no doubt that today's attention belongs to Akina.

Kondo Masahiko originally wanted to join that group, but when he thought that they were all talking about Naoki Nagayama, he became upset, so he turned to chat with the older host Mari Yoshimura, and asked Mari Yoshimura Very amused.

Naoki Nagayama, who has been talked about many times by everyone, is at the Samadhiju Teahouse in Shinjuku at this time.

I went to visit Yuko Tanaka yesterday afternoon and discussed the publicity matters before shooting. Today, he specially invited Kitano Takeshi to the teahouse for tea, and by the way, he also invited Kobayashi Masaki.

 Inside the private room on the third floor.

"Why did Naoki-san think of coming to drink tea with me, an old man?" Masaki Kobayashi smiled and looked at Naoki Nagayama who was pouring tea across the way, "Shouldn't young people be thinking about making some big news all the time now? ?!”

 The old director pointed to the sky with meaning~

 He knew about the relationship between Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori when "Love Letter" was released.

After all, they were friends for many years, and Naoki Nagayama didn't hide anything when chatting.

“Hahaha, the news has already come out~” Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, “Just let the airship continue to fly.”

"Today's young people really have more fun than our generation." Kobayashi Masaki took a sip of the fragrant top-grade Gyokuro tea. "At that time, the most I could give was clothes and jewelry. If you were rich, you could give jewelry. The most I could give you was a car. It's just real estate, nothing like it is now."

“Times are changing. And directors like us can even tailor-make a movie as a gift!”

Nagayama Naoki smiled modestly.

 “Hahaha, it's indeed a good idea.” Kobayashi Masaki nodded in agreement.

"Actually, I invited Masaki-san here today because I want to ask you about something." Nagayama Naoki then got down to business, "I also made an appointment with the leading actor of the next movie today, Kitano Takeshi. He is a tough guy and a bit vicious. .”

 “Ah, him, I know him.”

  Kobayashi Masaki nodded. He had some impressions of this actor and had seen him a few times. After all, although his face was not handsome, it was very recognizable.

"My next movie is called "The Summer of Kikujiro" and it is a comedy." Naoki Nagayama said, "Takeshi Kitano plays a dissolute middle-aged uncle who is paralyzed by life, but there is still innocence in his heart."

The plot of Nagayama Naoki-chan and Kobayashi Masaki have been told once. The story line is very simple, but if you want to shoot it well, you need strong skills.

 “Then what's the problem with Naoki-san?”

“Although Takeshi Kitano is very suitable for this role, he is too young now. The character in my movie is more like him more than ten years later,” Naoki Nagayama said.

"Although you can use makeup to increase your age, I would like to ask the experienced Masaki-san for advice on how to make a young actor act like he will be more than ten years later."

"That's it." Kobayashi Masaki lowered his head and thought for a while, "I may need to see the actors before I can have an idea."

“Well, that's why I invited Kitano Takeya to come over. He should be arriving soon.”

 “Then we'll talk about it after we see it.”

The two of them continued to drink tea and chat about the current gossip.

Within ten minutes, there was a knock on the private room door, and Takeshi Kitano, who looked slightly menacing, walked in wearing a proper shirt and trousers.

"Naoki-san" Takeshi Kitano first said hello to Naoki Nagayama, and then looked at Masaki Kobayashi next to him, "Director Kobayashi, I didn't expect you to be here too."

“Haha, Naoki-san specially invited me here today.”

"Kitano-san, please sit down." Nagayama Naoki asked Kitano Takeshi to sit down and poured him a cup of tea. "I have some questions about the filming of the movie, so I asked Masaki-san for advice."

Nagayama Naoki talked about Kitano Takeshi's role, which made Kitano Takeshi a little confused:

 “Me in ten years' time?”

 “What should that look like?”

Kobayashi Masaki looked Kitano Takeshi up and down. Kitano Takeshi was less than forty at this time, which was the age at which a man reaches his peak.

The muscles are well developed, the skin is tight, and the whole person's spirit has the hard-core style of a Showa man. If his face were not a bit more sinister, he would give people the same impression as Ken Takakura.

 Kitano Takeshi's hair stood up when he saw Masaki Kobayashi, and then he heard Masaki Kobayashi say:

“In ten years' time, first of all, the hem of the shirt will no longer be tucked into the pants!”

"Eh?!"

Naoki Nagayama and Takeshi Kitano both looked over in confusion.

“Haven't you seen those middle-aged and elderly swingers? In summer, they basically wear shirts outside. And they're very loose,” Kobayashi Masaki said with a smile, “That's how cool they are!”

He went on to say:

“Also, Takeshi Kitano, you are too strong. After more than ten years, even if you exercise, you will lose weight and become so-called lean.”

"Hi" Kitano Takeshi nodded subconsciously, this old man does have something.

 “You can't keep your back so straight”

 “Don't show your gums when you smile.”

“The hair should also be permed and made a little fluffy, preferably thinner.”

Nagayama Naoki not only listened, but also took out a small notebook and recorded it. This is the accumulation of decades of experience of director Masaki Kobayashi. Even if he has a complete memory of the film, he may not be able to shoot it perfectly.

But he looked at Kitano Takeshi. Other changes in his appearance were easy to explain, but this figure. How could he become thinner and leaner in a short period of time?

 Do you want to imitate a certain Batman actor who can freely control his weight? Only eat an apple a day?

 This. What if Kitano Takeshi starves to death?
