Chapter 1072 1081, the Man Who Once Dominated the Headlines of the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 1072 1081, the man who once dominated the headlines in the entertainment industry~

Near noon, Naoki Nagayama drove a convertible to the Tree Friends Building.

As Akina's due date gets closer, he spends more and more time at home, taking time to deal with work matters every day.

At present, the editing and screening of "Tiger of Ginza" are proceeding step by step. The Tokyo International Film Festival is also led by Yoshimura Otomo and the organizing committee, and the preparations are uneventful.

Even the latest comic business, under the leadership of Itou Shuichi, the latest episode of "Slam Dunk" has been serialized smoothly.

Now only "Neon Sound" needs his attention from time to time.

"Naoki-san~"

Xing Jiahua at the front desk was very surprised when she saw Nagayama Naoki. It was already noon.

"Why did you come here at noon today?"

"I have an appointment with Otomo-san, is he here?"

"Hi!" Xing Jiahua suddenly realized, "Turns out I'm waiting for Naoki-san. No wonder Otomo-san has been in the office all morning today and turned down a lot of entertainment."

"Forehead"

Have you been waiting for me? !

I said before that we would just chat in the morning!

Nagayama Naoki didn't say much and immediately walked onto the elevator. If he waited any longer, Otomo-san might go crazy!

Knocking on the office door, Nagayama Naoki found that Yoshimura Otomo was not sitting behind the desk reviewing documents as usual, but was sitting on the sofa making tea at the tea table.

Seeing Nagayama Naoki come in, Yoshimura Otomo said calmly:

"You're here~"

"I'm coming~"

"You're late!"

"But I'm still here!"

“Morning as promised”

"Hasn't it happened now~"

"."

After a long while, Fangcun Dayou could no longer maintain a calm mind, rolled his eyes and said angrily:

"Naoki-san, do you know that I have turned down a lot of social events just to wait for you?! The preparations for the Tokyo International Film Festival and dinners with cooperative companies?"

“Hi hi hi~Private Marseille~”

Naoki Nagayama had no choice but to apologize;

"Otomo-san, please have a lot of it."

Although there seemed to be a quarrel in the office, Yoshimura Otomo was not angry at all, he just complained.

Speaking of which, Yoshimura Otomo was even somewhat grateful to Nagayama Naoki for giving him the excuse to turn down those social events.

In those preparations for meetings, dinners, etc., the participating members are scheming one by one. It takes hundreds of people to say a word, so why not just relax in the office, sip tea and enjoy life~

After a while, Nagayama Naoki also drank tea:

"The program team of Otomo-san's "Neon Sound" has already started contacting the contestants, right?"

"Well, you started contacting Fujiwara after you gave the selected players to Fujiwara. However, the players are located in various places, and it will take some time to come to Tokyo."

Yoshimura Otomo said casually,

"Recording should finally begin next Saturday."

"Naoki-san, are you going to go during the recording?"

"Well, of course we have to keep an eye on the recording of the first season." Naoki Nagayama said, "After all, he still has the title of producer."

Naoki Nagayama also reviewed other detailed work such as program host, venue decoration, sound tuning and video recording.

The producer of "The Sound of Neon" is Kazuhisa Fujiwara. Shuyu and NTV are joint producers. The director, screenwriter and planner are all members of the working team. Naoki Nagayama only has the title of producer.

But everyone knows who the real boss of this show is.

"Naoki-san" Yoshimura Otomo suddenly brought up a topic, "I heard that I picked a very good contestant yesterday? Did I go to the "Neon Sound" working team down below to praise me?"

"Ah, indeed, the voice condition is very good," Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "In addition, the previous contestants of that contestant were not very good, so in comparison, he is even better!"

Naoki Nagayama continued:

"I also went to the working group and told them that the standards for the first screening must be guaranteed!"

"Ahem~ Yes, yes, the first impression must be guaranteed."

Yoshimura Otomo coughed, and the few tapes he stuffed in really didn't meet the requirements.

"But what I mean is that when you planned "The Sound of Neon", your original intention was to find singers for those songs. Now that you listen to it, are you satisfied?"

"This one~"

Although Nagayama Naoki is very satisfied with Izumi's voice, it's not time to make a direct decision yet. After all, several songs require different special preparations. Maybe he can find something like Daikoku Moki in "Neon Sound" What an explosive singer~

"Let's wait until the final showdown~"

Leaning on the sofa, Naoki Nagayama held the player information of "The Sound of Neon" and looked at it, as if he wanted to find more rising stars from it.

"Okay~" Yoshimura Otomo took a sip of tea, "Would you like to get in touch with the program's mentor, Naoki-san? Sawada Kenji, Yoshida Takuro, Nakajima Miyuki and Saijo Hideki. Tell them about the program's direction and standards. "like"

"Haha, Hideki-san is already an acquaintance~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "As for the others"

It seems that Kenji Sawada is currently having an underground affair with Yuko Tanaka. Naoki Nagayama has a good relationship with Yuko Tanaka, so he is very uncomfortable seeing him.

Takuro Yoshida and Miyuki Nakajima are both singer-songwriters. Naoki Nagayama has no experience in music creation and is simply standing on the shoulders of giants.

After all, music is not like movies, where you can just pull out a lot~

"I'm not familiar with the music industry, so I'll keep it that way for the time being."

"But we always have to meet each other during recording."

In Yoshimura Otomo's mind, Naoki Nagayama is actually arrogant and doesn't care about other musicians, so he doesn't bother to make friends with them.

"When the time comes, Naoki-san had better give him some face and make the scene look better."

"Haha, I am such an easy person to get along with, how can I not give face to others?!"

Then why don’t you participate in so many competitions, awards, and even program invitations in the music industry? !

You must know that there are already voices in the music industry saying that "the neon music industry is not worthy of Naoki Nagayama"!

While Naoki Nagayama and Otomo Yoshimura were sitting in the office chatting, a large number of reporters once again gathered at the "Literary Theater" cinema in Ikebukuro.

This cinema has become a film conference venue exclusively for tree friends. Even the lobby has been expanded to facilitate media conferences.

Kyon Kijima, Masataka Komori, Nao Saejima and other creative teams of "Tiger of Ginza" and even Leslie Cheung and Tony Leung Ka Fai, who returned to Hong Kong a month ago, came to the scene again.

"Director Kijima, won't Naoki-san come over today?"

In the backstage room of the preparation, Leslie Cheung asked director Kyū Kijima.

"Naoki-san" Kijima Xu sighed, "He said that if he comes to attend the media conference, everyone's attention will fall on him. It will steal the limelight of the "Ginza Tiger" movie itself."

Leslie Cheung did not fully understand Nagayama Naoki's fame in the neon entertainment industry, and asked unexpectedly:

"How could such a thing happen? Naoki-san is not a star! Nor is he a starring role."

Naoki Nagayama is not the director or the starring role, and he is not even credited as the screenwriter this time. At most, he is just a member of the management company Shuyu Pictures, but he said that he was afraid that he would steal the limelight of the entire movie by himself.

What’s even more outrageous is that Kyū Kijima still thinks what he said makes sense~

"Because he is Nagayama Naoki." Kijima Kyor sighed again, "The man who once dominated the media headlines in the entertainment industry!"

In fact, he has been keeping a low profile this year. In the past two years, Naoki Nagayama made headlines casually.

What about "The playboy Naoki has a new prey", "Director Nagayama's scandal reappeared", "In love with a big star", "A well-known writer won a grand prize!", "Confessing his relationship in public."

Even his family background is occasionally discussed repeatedly, but he does not dare to make headlines due to pressure from the Yamaguchi-gumi~

It can be said that in the past few years, Naoki Nagayama was the guarantee of traffic and exposure, and his exposure rate was higher than that of celebrities!

"Naoki-mulberry"

Leslie Cheung felt that he had underestimated Naoki Nagayama again.

“What a fascinating man”

Not long after chatting, the final reveal meeting for "Tiger of Ginza" began. The host walked up to the reporters with a microphone and said to everyone:

"The final reveal meeting for Minasan's "Tiger of Ginza" has officially begun."

The host said to all the media reporters,

"But before doing that again, let me first enjoy the latest trailer of "Tiger of Ginza". It is also the last trailer before its release."

"Tiger of Ginza" has already released a trailer, which is another promotion before its release.

The lights in the screening room dimmed and the big screen lit up.

High-end luxury cars, Prince Shotoku, beauties, drinks, and tobacco. Scenes that make ordinary people open their eyes flashed before their eyes. Here, a corner of the life of the upper class was revealed, which made people both amazed and envious.

However, in the second half, the male protagonist drank too much, had promiscuous sex, was bugged, and was arrested, which made everyone watching take a breath and feel a sense of disillusionment.

After the short two-minute trailer, the reporters present fell into a short silence.

During this period, all the main creators of "Ginza Tiger" came to the stage.

"Mina-san, let us welcome the director of "Tiger of Ginza", director Kyū Kijima, co-writer Haniko Nishimoto, starring Souo Matsuo, Leslie Cheung, Tony Leung Ka Fai and Nao Saejima"

Under the guidance of the host, the reporters all applauded, and flash lights and shutter sounds continued. Soon, the interview at the completion of the disclosure meeting officially began.

"What an amazing trailer!" a reporter sighed, and then found the director through the shining gold Rolex, "Director Kijima, when will this movie be released?"

"On the second weekend of August, August 10th," Kijima Kyor gave the definite time. "Two days later, at the beginning of August, there will be a preview screening. I hope that all friends from the media can come and support it. !”

"It's a preview screening!" "I'm looking forward to it!" "I really want to see the specific content of the movie!" "."

The reporters gave mixed cheers, and they were all looking forward to the preview of the movie. Of course, on the one hand, they wanted to watch the movie for free, and on the other hand, they were also looking forward to the red envelope from Shuyou Films.

Sending red envelopes to reporters, no, it's travel expenses. It's a clear rule in the entertainment industry that I hope I can put in a nice word, and Shuyou has always been very generous.

The microphone was passed to another reporter:

"Mr. Leslie Cheung, are there any difficulties in playing such a young and promising character?"

".It's not difficult at all."

Leslie Cheung responded with a smile,

"I myself am considered young and promising. I just don't have the arrogance of the characters in the movie."

“What’s it like working with Neon actors?”

"Everyone is very professional. They are very humble on the set."

"."

The actors asked one by one, and then returned to Kijima Xu:

"Director Kijima, I heard that this movie will be the opening film of the Tokyo International Film Festival, right?"

"It's not decided yet, I just have this opportunity."

“Any thoughts on this year’s Blue Ribbon Awards?”

"Hahaha, all directors hope to win awards, but in the end it still depends on the audience's acceptance of the film and whether they like the style of "Tiger of Ginza""

Kijima Xu was very happy to see the lively interaction among the reporters. This showed that he was the center of everyone's attention and his works were noticed. But the next words of the reporter made his smile freeze.

"Director Kijima, why didn't Mr. Naoki Nagayama come this time? What's the delay?"

"."

Even if no one is around, he can still attract attention. If Naoki-san is here, what else will he have to do with himself and the movie?

"Naoki-san has always had a very busy schedule. Now he should be busy with official duties in the company and discussing projects with his subordinates."

(Naoki Nagayama took a sip of tea and let out a sigh of contentment. He leaned on the soft sofa and looked at the sky outside the window. The white clouds were still blue and the sky was still blue. It was another sunny and beautiful day~)

Naoki Nagayama, who returned to Sanzakuin, was chatting with Akina about what happened before.

Suddenly Akina frowned, then recovered immediately, feeling confused.

"What's wrong?"

Naoki Nagayama asked.

"Suddenly my stomach cramped."

"?" Because it was already close to the due date, Nagayama Naoki immediately became alert and kept asking, "What's wrong? Is she about to give birth? Has her amniotic water broken?"

As he spoke, he lowered his head and reached out to lift up Akina's skirt to take a look.

Then she was photographed repeatedly by the blushing Akina~

"It's not that," Akina said angrily, but she also didn't understand. "It'll be fine soon. Maybe it's just that the baby moved a little bit louder."

The fetal movement is becoming more and more frequent now, and sometimes it will suddenly kick out a footprint on Akina's belly like a twitch, as if she is practicing martial arts.

Looking left and right, his wife seemed fine, and Naoki Nagayama felt relieved:

"Okay. But if you have anything, tell me right away."

"Hmm~"

Nagayama Naoki, who was still a little nervous, got up again and called Mrs. Nonaka Mori over for a thorough consultation.

I went to inform Alfred, the butler, to have the car ready and go to the hospital at any time.

Although we have learned about the situation of giving birth to a baby more than once on TV, in the news, and from relatives and friends, it is still the first time for Naoki Nagayama to face it, and the tension in his heart is still unavoidable.

He was nervous until late at night, and it wasn't until Akina fell asleep that nothing more happened, so Naoki Nagayama felt relieved.

Looking at Akina lying sideways at night, Nagayama Naoki reached out and gently touched her belly and sighed:

"When will it come out?"

"My parents are so worried."

"Come out and ask for a spanking!"
