Chapter 777 785, Home flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers
Major events are usually held when the weather is good. Although the FNS Song Festival is held indoors, the weather today is still sunny and windy, giving a feeling of cool autumn air.
The event was from the afternoon to the evening, so Naoki Nagayama and Akina went about their own business in the morning.
Naoki Nagayama drove to the DreamWorks in Ota Ward. "Hot Blood School 2" has been completed, but "Midnight Ring 2" is already in production~
“It seems that the popularity here has decreased a lot~”
At the factory gate, Naoki Nagayama said to Kyon Kimura next to him that there were only a few snack stalls left at the factory gate.
"Because there are more actors in "Hot Blood School 2", there are fewer actors in the current movie."
"The Ring 2" only has so many characters, so naturally not many people will watch it.
"When several movies and TV series are produced here in the future, its popularity will naturally rise again~" Naoki Nagayama smiled and looked at this film and television base that was taking shape with great confidence.
When the scenes are more complete, maybe we can open it to other small film companies or independent directors~
Naoki Nagayama knew that the original plot of "The Ring 2" was to link the appearance of Sadako with the smallpox virus, and then put on a scientific coat, trying to come up with something like biochemical ascension.
However, this sequel was considered to be a pure idiocy by the audience, and its reputation collapsed, which almost completely ruined such a big IP as "The Ring"!
So Naoki Nagayama naturally chose "The Ring - Sadako", a later work!
We have arrived at the scene which is a hospital. The plot of the first part of The Ring will be continued here. After Takayama Ryuji and Asakawa Reiko found Sadako's body, the police brought Sadako's cousin Yamamura Kei from Izu Oshima to identify the body!
The police told Yamamura Jing that according to forensic identification, the body had died about one or two years ago.
In the morgue, Yamamura Sadako's body was covered with a layer of white cloth. Yamamura Kei was originally telling the police that he only remembered Sadako's appearance as a child and that there was no need to lift the white cloth.
Suddenly, Yamamura Jing saw that black hair was spreading out from under the shroud of the corpse. Thick long black hair slowly stretched out from the bottom of the skeleton, like an ever-extending vine, almost reaching the ground and still growing!
This scene almost caused Yamamura Kei to have a cardiac arrest, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye. Was it an illusion?
"Anyway, cremate it immediately. It doesn't matter what ceremony is used!" Yamamura Jing just wants to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
However, the police insisted on finding out the specific information of the body.
Naoki Nagayama was amazed at the performances of several veteran actors. It turned out that such scenes involving sudden surprises were really a test of one's acting skills!
"Naoki-san?" Idou Shuuichi looked at Nagayama Naoki, "How about this opening?"
"Morgue, corpses, ghosts. A little scary, but not that scary. Very attractive~"
Naoki Nagayama said that there are not too many classic scary scenes in this movie, but everything you see in the horror atmosphere will be very scary!
And the more scared you are, the more you want to look down.
"For the scenes in the hospital and the medical examiner's office, we had to use plasticine to recreate Sadako's appearance through bones."
Idou Shuichi said this and directed all personnel to move. Actually, the office was in the next room~
The most important indoor scenes in the entire movie are the hospital, the news editorial office, and Yamamura Sadako's old house. These scenes were all condensed in DreamWorks, making the crew's filming very smooth.
"When will Yuko-san's scene begin?" asked Naoki Nagayama.
"Probably the day after tomorrow," Idou Shuichi said, "Then we'll be able to film her and Youichi's scenes!"
"Yang Yi"
"Yes, Yoichi-kun should be played by Naoto Fujiki. His gloomy feeling is very suitable for horror movies." said Shuichi Ido.
"."
Alas, I was originally shooting a comedy, but now I am shooting a horror movie, isn't it out of place?
However, these are not what Naoki Nagayama needs to consider. This time he is just the screenwriter, and it mainly depends on Shuichi-san.
At the DreamWorks in Ota Ward, Naoki Nagayama took a tour and then rushed to the studio with Kyon Kimura.
"Kijima-kun, the scene has been built. You don't have anything to do over there anymore." Naoyama Naoki said to Kyon Kimura, "Next, you should focus on your own project~"
"Hi!" Kyon replied excitedly, "Naoki-san, I have almost finished drawing the storyboards for the production of "Love Century"!"
".All?" Naoki Nagayama asked in disbelief.
"Hey, the main plot and general scenes!" said Kyon. "I even have a backup plan for the filming location!"
"This"
Naoki Nagayama feels that his younger brother has some potential in other areas, such as drawing comics. Should he bring him into next year's animation project?
"But in terms of actors, since this is an urban youth romance drama," said Kyon Kimura, "I think Momoko Kikuchi is very suitable for the female lead, but it would be best to use a handsome young actor for the male lead."
"." Naoki Nagayama was about to nod, but he saw the look in Kijima Kyon's eyes, "Why are you looking at me?!"
"Hey hey hey Naoki-san, do you want to?"
"don't want!!"
Naoki Nagayama flatly refused. Since he had no intention of developing a career as an actor, he should avoid such things as dating beautiful actresses in TV dramas!
He is also a young man full of vigor and vitality. He is in close contact with beautiful girls all day long. What if he accidentally discharges his gun?
"Don't even think about it!" Naoki Nagayama said again with a stronger tone, "Is there no other suitable male artist in the entertainment industry?"
"If we talk about the most famous ones, then the popular idols of Johnny's are more suitable, such as Tahara Toshihiko and Kondo."
At this point, Kyon Kimura paused. All the old employees of Shuyou knew that Naoki-san seemed to dislike Kondo Masahiko very much.
I heard from Shuichi-san that it seemed that Kondo Masahiko stole Naoki-san's advertisement not long after his debut, and then he had a conflict with Naoki Nagayama.
Therefore, Kondo Masahiko is not allowed to participate in any of Shuyou's film, television and even variety show projects, such as the very popular music program "Music Station".
As a result, Toshihiko Tahara, who was originally as famous as him, has surpassed him, and the rest of the junior youth teams are starting to catch up with Kondo Masahiko's fame~
The thought flashed through his mind, and Kimura continued, "Maybe we can find one among the youth team."
However, Naoki Nagayama thinks that these people are good enough to play a pretty boy, but they are still a little short of playing a mature and charming urban playboy.
"How is Hideki Saijo?" Naoki Nagayama suddenly asked.
"Huh? Saijo Hideki?" Kimura Kyon was surprised. "It seems Saijo-san has been undergoing a transformation recently."
"Ha, transformation or something, isn't it just facing the rising juniors, there is nothing we can do~" Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "You can try to contact him, Shuyou's project is a rare good opportunity in the industry now."
"Hey! I got it!"
Kyon Kimura also agreed. After all, Hideki Saijo was his idol when he was in school!
While talking about "Love Century" while driving, we soon arrived at Shuyou's studio~
"Naoki-san?"
Xing Jiahua at the front desk was very surprised. It was almost noon and Naoki Nagayama came at this time.
"Hana-chan~" Naoki Nagayama nodded, "Is Otomo-san here?"
"Hey, I'm here!"
"Um"
Naoki Nagayama led Kyon Kijima inside, leaving Suzuki Yuuka at the front desk feeling a little strange:
"Hana-chan, did Naoki-san just bring a stranger in?"
"Stranger?" Xing Jiahua finally recalled carefully, "Ah, that's Kijima Xusang. I didn't notice him just now."
"Kijima Kyon?"
"Well, he is..." Xing Jiahua was suddenly stuck here, "Eh? What does Kijima-san do?"
"."
Naoki Nagayama was about to arrive at the office. Looking back, he saw Kyon Kimura wearing a coat that covered his gold Rolex.
"Kijima-kun, go and prepare for the meeting with Saijo Hideki. I'll ask Otomo-san to contact him then~" Nagayama Naoki said, and then instructed, "Roll up your sleeves when you meet, otherwise Saijo Hideki might not remember you."
"."Kidama Kyon was silent for a moment, "Hey, I get it!"
"Otomo-san! Help me get a spot to the FNS Song Festival!"
When he saw Yoshimura Otomo in the office, Nagayama Naoki made a direct request.
"?"
Yoshimura Otomo looked at Nagayama Naoki in front of him, and a question mark appeared in his head.
"Naoki-san, what are you going to do now?"
"I just went there to see the fun!" Naoki Nagayama sat down with a smile, "I don't have any intention of doing anything bad."
"Oh?"
Yoshimura Otomo lowered his head and continued to look at the information in his hand.
"I remember the FNS Song Festival is this afternoon, right?"
"Yeah, yeah, pre-selection!"
"Then why are you saying this now?" Yoshimura Otomo rolled his eyes helplessly, "Others' seats have already been arranged."
"I just remembered it~" Naoyama Naoki continued to smile, "Otomo-san is so capable, there must be a way!"
"."
Actually, this is not a big deal, but Yoshimura Otomo is still a little curious.
"Naoki-san usually doesn't like to participate in these kinds of activities, but this time he wants to go. Oh, it turns out that Akina Nakamori will also be participating!"
Being old and experienced, he immediately figured out the reason.
"Haha, yeah, I just found out about it last night." Naoyama Naoki had no intention of hiding it, "And this year's Red and White Song Festival, I also want to go and see it live~"
Others go to these events either for exposure or for socializing, but our president goes just to watch his girlfriend's performance. He is really rich and willful!
But thinking about the agreement signed yesterday, we made 300 billion just by doing it, and there are still half a year left before we can sell it. So we really have some unreasonable conditions!
Fangcun Otomo sighed:
".Okay~ I'll go make some calls."
"Hey, Arigato!"
After solving this problem, Naoki Nagayama felt relieved and chatted with Yoshimura Otomo about other daily things.
Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, the two of them went to have a simple lunch together.
In the afternoon, Naoki Nagayama drove a Toyota Century to the Houjin Hall in Tokyo.
In the huge venue, the staff are still doing the final adjustments before the recording. The colorful stage has been warmed up in advance, waiting to perform with the contestants.
"Naoki-san?" Just as Naoki Nagayama was peeking, a call came from the side.
"Ok?"
Naoki Nagayama turned around and saw Chikako Aoyama in her casual clothes, and Junko Ito.
Ah, yes, they are two of the most outstanding female idols under Shuyou, so of course they have the opportunity to participate in the FNS Music Festival.
"Chikako-chan, and Junko-chan, you are here!" Naoki Nagayama greeted.
"Naoki-san, are you here to watch our competition?" Chikako Aoyama asked happily.
"Forehead"
Everyone who works at Shuyou knows that Naoki Nagayama pays very little attention to his idols. Apart from their debut and the month-end report, he basically doesn't pay much attention to the development of idol artists, let alone encourage and cheer them on the spot.
However, being looked at with such expectation by Chikako Aoyama, Naoki Nagayama felt a little ashamed. As the boss of an agency, he really cares too little about his artists!
Ito Junko had been through so much hardship in the entertainment industry and had long been trained to be a skilled person. Seeing Naoki Nagayama's slightly embarrassed look, she knew that he was not here for the two of them, so she grabbed Chikako Aoyama's arm and said with a smile:
"Haha, Chikako-chan, Naoki-san must have come here because he was invited~"
"Is that so~" Aoyama Chikako knew that she was not here to cheer, and was a little disappointed, but she still asked, "Is Naoki-san the award presenter?"
"Of course not, I'm just here to watch the ceremony~"
Naoki Nagayama changed the subject.
"Didn't either of you change into your stage costumes?"
"The official start will be in the evening, and we are going through it one last time now, so we are wearing simple clothes," explained Junko Ito.
"I see." Naoki Nagayama nodded and could only say to them, "Dad! I'm sure you'll win the grand prize this time!"
"Haha, borrow Naoki Sangji's words~"
While walking and chatting, Naoki Nagayama came to the rest area for the participating artists under the guidance of Chikako Aoyama and Junko Ito.
Naoki Nagayama saw more and more familiar faces, such as Seiko Matsuda, Naoko Ken, Toshihiko Tahara, Mari Yoshimura, etc. He greeted and exchanged a few words with those he knew, and nodded at the familiar faces. Naoki Nagayama blended into this big pond like a drop of water.
"The FNS Song Festival is indeed one of the three major programs at the end of the year!" Naoki Nagayama exclaimed, "Almost all the popular idols are here~"
"Yeah. There are so many acquaintances~" Ito Junko said, and then pulled Aoyama Chikako towards her common room, "Naoki-san, we have to go get ready, so we won't accompany you~"
"Ah, okay~"
Naoki Nagayama didn't care and walked towards the lounge.
"Junko-chan, you just threw Naoki-san aside like that!" After entering the common room, Aoyama Chikako pulled Ito Junko aside and started asking.
"Chikako-chan, don't hold out hope for Naoki-san~" Ito Junko tapped Aoyama Chikako's forehead like an older sister, "Naoki-san is obviously here to visit Akina Nakamori~"
".Eh?"
Chikako Aoyama, who has always had fantasies about Naoki Nagayama, feels a little bitter in her mouth. She didn't come to see her own artist, but went to see other idols. It turns out that wild flowers are not as fragrant as domestic flowers.
Ito Junko came over and said:
"I heard that Naoki-san and Akina Nakamori are already living together!"
"!!!"
Chikako Aoyama looked at Junko Ito in astonishment.
"Boom Bean?!"
"Yeah, I heard it from Otomo-san~"
There are no secrets in the entertainment industry, and more than one person knows that Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori are living together. However, Chikako Aoyama is even more sad and has less hope~
Now, one can only hope that the two of them are not getting along while living together, break up before marriage, and something changes after marriage. Only then will Chikako Aoyama have a chance to take the position!
There are still three chances left!
On the other side, Naoki Nagayama slowly found Akina Nakamori's lounge. According to her current status, she has her own separate lounge even at the FNS Song Festival.
This time there was no agent guarding the door, and only the name "Akina Nakamori Control Room" was written on a whiteboard at the entrance of the lounge.
Naoki Nagayama knocked on the door and heard a sweet voice:
"Please come in~"
Push open the door, and you will see a small Japanese-style room, divided into two parts. One is a dressing table, and the other is a lounge area with a sofa, TV, and even a dressing table.
"Naoki-san!"
Akina Nakamori, who had not yet put on her makeup, had her hair tied up with a towel. When she saw Naoki Nagayama coming in, she was surprised at first, and then a smile appeared on her face.
"Why are you here so early, Naoki-san?"
"Because I want to see Akina sooner~" Naoki Nagayama replied with a smile, and then looked at the lounge with great curiosity, "Are lounges so luxurious now?"
"Ah, this lounge." Nakamori Akina said, "It took a lot of effort to coordinate one~"
The star's lounge depends on their status on the one hand, and on the other hand, whether the agency will make every effort to get them there. Akina, who signed a new contract, is now a shareholder of Yanyin with a temporary stake, and of course her treatment is different from before.
Naoki Nagayama sat aside and watched Akina put on makeup:
"Are you putting on makeup so early?"
"Because it's a new look, it will take a long time to adjust."
However, most girls spend half an hour to an hour putting on makeup before going out. As a public figure, she naturally needs to be more meticulous about the time spent putting on makeup.
"Naoki-san, you can take a rest on the sofa~"
Akina Nakamori said, and then began to brush her face with a small brush, but nothing changed on her clear cheeks.
However, Naoki Nagayama did not go over, but instead started chatting:
“Purple lipstick.”
"It matches today's stage costume. It's golden~"
On the hanger next to it is a golden puffy skirt. The songs selected this time are still "Ten Commandments" and "Northern Wing". So the previous stage clothes are still used.
"Doesn't Akina have a dedicated makeup artist?"
"It's better to do things like makeup yourself~" Akina Nakamori said confidently.
Japanese girls have started wearing makeup since junior high school. Even though Akina doesn't wear much makeup, she has become very proficient in it after being an idol for a few years!
During the slow chat, Naoki Nagayama watched Akina's face slowly change from a pure white face to a radiant face, with bright eyes and sparkling stars, especially the purple lipstick, which glowed under the light, like an unreal fantasy~
This is the idol artist standing on the stage!
"Akina, come here, let your uncle kiss you!"
"Naoki-san! This is in the lounge." Akina Nakamori said shyly, "You can't do this!"
"Just a kiss~"
"Dah!"
