Chapter 526 524, Back Off! I'm Going to Start Showing Off!

While the aisle was bustling with people, Akina Nakamori and Yu Hayami went to the backstage of Nakano Sunshine Plaza together.

I was walking towards the dressing room under the guidance of the staff, but suddenly I found Naoki Nagayama and his party being interviewed by a TV reporter, and then a burst of laughter broke out there.

Nakamori Akina subconsciously pulled Hayami Yu over and walked over.

"Naoki-san? What's wrong? Are you smiling so happily?"

"Ah, Akina is here~"

Only then did Nagayama Naoki realize that Nakamori Akina's arrival had made the surrounding atmosphere even more noisy. This girl has no idea what's going on here and she's actually one of the protagonists.

Seeing Naotaro Nakanishi over there starting to make a move, Naoki Nagayama quickly said:

"Huh? Where is your dressing room Akina? I'll go take a look~"

As he said that, he pushed Akina's shoulder to leave quickly.

The host still wanted to stop her: "Ms. Akina Nakamori, we still want to interview Akina Sack."

"Akina doesn't want to be interviewed. Why don't you interview me?" Naoki Nagayama stood between the two of them like a wall. With his height advantage, he could see the top of the host's head.

"Then Mr. Naoki." The host had no choice but to pass the microphone to Naoki Nagayama again.

"I still won't tell you! Haha~"

After saying that, he quickly pushed Mingna and ran backstage, like a big boy who had just succeeded in playing a prank, leaving the host and the camera boy alone in the wind.

The surrounding artists and staff were whispering, with a little laughter from time to time, which made the host Naotaro Nakanishi feel ashamed and angry.

The arm holding the microphone was clenched tightly, as if it was about to crush the plastic microphone.

The cameraman Tsuji Naoto waited for a while and found that Nakanishi Naotaro still didn't move, so he asked: "Naotaro-san, do we want to interview the next artist?!"

"I, Nautaro Nakanishi, have been in the industry for more than 20 years! I have never suffered such humiliation!!" Nautaro Nakanishi said word by word, "Naoki Nagayama! I will remember you!!"

"Um." The cameraman Tsuji Naoto didn't know what he was crazy about. Isn't it because he didn't interview an artist? "Then... let's go on to interview the next artist?"

"." After a short silence, Naotaro Nakanishi said silently, "Let's go."

Naoki Nagayama, wait! I want you to interview me obediently one day! I'm going to cut everything out of you!

On the other side, Akina, who was being pushed away by her boyfriend, didn't know what was going on.

"Naoki-san, what happened?"

Akina Nakamori stopped in a dressing room and glanced at Hayami Yu who had a teasing face next to her. Naoki Nagayama pushed her away in front of Hayami Yu, and her shyness immediately took over.

"The host is asking some random questions, so it's better to run away quickly." Nagayama Naoki smiled and nodded to Hayami next to him, "Yu-chan, you're here too."

"Haha, I encountered such a strange thing when I just came here. This year's music festival looks like it will be very interesting~" Hayami Yu smiled brightly.

His idol, who had just been left behind, also arrived. Nagayama Naoki couldn't be too close to Akina, so he waved easily,

"Now that I have sent everyone to the dressing room, my mission is completed! Everyone, prepare well, I will give you awards on the stage!"

"Hi!" X3, the three idols of our family are naturally very cooperative.

"Akina-chan, Yu-chan, come on too~"

"Yeah!" Although she wanted to talk to her boyfriend, the people involved in this occasion were too complicated, so Akina gave up.

If it is other activities, the manager may always be with the artist. However, for this kind of large-scale TV event that has been rehearsed many times, when the artist arrives at the venue, most of them will be directed by the on-site staff, and the managers If they have something to do, they will be busy with other things, otherwise they will just chat at the venue.

After signing in with the staff and getting his seat number, Nagayama Naoki originally planned to go directly to his seat. But after seeing Akiyuki Fusunori, I wanted to have a chat with him.

"Fang Zesang."

Ming Xingfang stopped: "Naoki-san?"

"How are you finding Akina's new house?" Nagayama Naoki and Akiko Fubo walked to a corner of the corridor, "You're living in a hotel now, right?"

"Hi, we're staying in a hotel for the time being, but we've already found a rental house and will be able to move there soon." Ming Xingfang didn't hide anything, and there was no use hiding it!

"That's good~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "We need to be more hidden this time."

"Well, this time it's in a high-end apartment building, and there are very strict management measures."

"By the way, "The Ring" that I filmed before will be released soon. Would Fang Zesang want to come and take a look?"

"Is it the movie that was advertised as 'risk of death'?"

"Hi!"

"Naoki-san, we have no grudges, right?"

"Hahaha~"

There are still more than four hours until the official live broadcast starts. Anyway, I am idle. After chatting for a few words about Akina's current situation, Nagayama Naoki and Akiko Futonori started chatting.

until:

"Naoki-san!"

"Otai-san, why are you here?" Sugiura Otai stopped him.

"The most important event at the end of the year, naturally we have mobilized people to help." Sugiura Otaishi walked next to Nagayama Naoki, "Don't Naoki-san need to prepare?"

"What preparations do I need? I'm just going to present an award."

Naoki Nagayama, who is wearing a casual suit, can indeed be regarded as a formal suit, and there is no need for makeup or anything.

"It's really convenient~" Otasu Sugiura smiled, "By the way, have you contacted Akimoto-san recently? Your modified version was used for the song "Dusk Mew"."

"No, I've been busy recently and haven't been in contact with Akimoto-san. Is Akimoto-san here too?" I also contacted Akina when I was free. Why are you looking for a fat house? !

"He is still recording the program outside. Now it has to be broadcast every day. It is a challenge for the production of the program."

"This shows that the program is successful! How will the ratings be after changing the songs?"

"It has dropped slightly, so we are considering whether to change the title." Otasu Sugiura scratched the bridge of his nose, "The audience seems to have bound "Learning to Meow" and "Dusk Meow" together."

"Haha, it doesn't matter if you try." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "As for the audience, their habits can be formed~"

"That's right~"

Regarding the development of the program, Sugiura Oyasu and Nagayama Naoki had a great chat. The program they created together has become a high-quality program for Fuji TV, and it has just begun to gain momentum. After a fixed audience group is formed, there will definitely be higher of ratings.

I thought the four hours would be difficult, but I didn't expect that half the time would pass by just chatting and gossiping with a few familiar people.

More than four hours of preparation time, in fact, in the last two hours, the stage entry, testing, and some rehearsals of singing and dancing began.

Nagayama Naoki and Yoshimura Otomo were already sitting in the seats in the audience, quietly waiting for the start of the FNS Gayo Festival.

The early-morning FNS Song Festival is actually more of an awards ceremony. The singers just go on stage to sing, and then sing again after the awards are given. There are not many other intermediate links.

However, since there were nearly a hundred songs to be performed, the total live broadcast duration was extended to more than 4 hours.

By the time the live broadcast officially started, the entire venue had become quiet, and the bustling heads could not see clearly in the darkness.

"Naoki-san, when did you come on stage?"

Nagayama Naoki looked at the opening chorus that was being performed in the stands and said: "I am the presenter for the Outstanding Newcomer Award and the Best Newcomer Award. I should have to wait for all the newcomers to come up one by one before it is my turn."

At this time, a staff member came next to him: "Nagayama Naoki-san, why are you still here?! Go and get ready!"

"Huh? Isn't it still early?"

"It was planted in the background at least ten minutes in advance!" the staff reminded in a low voice, "Please come with me quickly!"

God knows, when the executive director took a roll call and found that the award presenters were not there yet, he was so anxious that he almost cursed!

"Hey!" Nagayama Naoki hurriedly followed.

From the backstage to the stage, the actors need to pass through a passage and then reach the door in the center of the stage. As for the award-giving guests, they are actually on the edge of the stage with the staff. They only need to walk on the stage from the side when awarding awards.

When Nagayama Naoki arrived, he found the newcomers lined up in the queue next to him. However, there seemed to be something wrong with the 1983 year. Most of the artists were not famous later. Morio Yumi, who was on the stage, was this year's outstanding newcomer. One of the award winners, I have never heard of it~

He also saw that Yutaka Ozaki and Otomo-san, Chikoko Aoyama, had good management skills, and even Chikoko was sent to the Gayo Festival competition.

Every artist who takes the stage must sing a song of their own, and "Heavenly Days" by Chiko Aoyama is no exception.

After waiting for each candidate to come on stage to sing, Naoki Nagayama finally heard the call from the hosts Mari Yoshimura and Shigeru Nogi.

"Now, I would like to invite Mr. Naoki Nagayama to present awards to you!"

The audience immediately started booing. Naoki Nagayama, who has been in the limelight recently, came to present the award. This music festival will really attract traffic!

Nagayama Naoki walked onto the stage without blushing and gave medals to outstanding newcomers one by one. Only the best ones would get trophies.

And just when Naoki Nagayama was about to leave, the host Mari Yoshimura started playing tricks:

"Naoki-san, do you have anything to say to this year's outstanding newcomers?"

"." I have nothing to say here!

Besides, there were 6 people on stage, and two of them were idols from their own families. Why did it feel like their own families accounted for one-third of Japan’s newcomers?

"Everyone in this new class has unlimited potential (no one can play right now)!"

"Hi, Arigado." Although Fangcun Zhenli didn't quite understand, he still took the lead in applauding.

After the awards for outstanding newcomers have been handed out, it’s time for the best newcomer award.

The lights in the entire venue dimmed, and the spotlight swept around the newcomers. Following the host Lu Mu Shigeru's voice:

"The winner of the 13th FNS Gayo Festival's Best Newcomer Award - Ozaki Yutaka's "Yuyaki no Uta"!!!"

A few bouquets of flowers were delivered to Yutaka Ozaki's hands, and Yutaka Ozaki's fans in the audience began to cheer rhythmically. Although the tracks for male singers and female idols are slightly different, in the recording industry, this year is the explosion of Yutaka Ozaki. The Year of Red.

Nagayama Naoki also walked up with a red-covered award certificate, recited the award speech for Yutaka Ozaki, and then awarded the trophy to the slightly excited young man.

"Naoki-san, do you have anything to say to Ozaki-san?" Mari Yoshimura asked as usual.

"Hi"

Naoki Nagayama took a deep breath, thinking about the award speech he had planned before, and a smile appeared on his face. He had finally waited for this moment!

Please note, I am about to start showing off! ! !

"Ozaki-kun, you can say that I watched the idol singer debut! From the first time I saw him, I have discovered the unruly and rebellious youth that Ozaki-kun carries! That is the unique trait of adults. A rare trait!”

"The future of development in the entertainment industry is changing, Ozaki-kun, but..."

Taking another breath, Nagayama Naoki said in an expectant tone:

"May you be away for half your life and still a young man when you return!"

The expression on Yutaka Ozaki's eyes changed. He was even more excited than when he just received the award. After Naoki Nagayama finished speaking, he kept bowing and thanking her. If she was a girl, she would have shed tears by now!

Mari Yoshimura said with enthusiasm: "Naoki-san is really looking forward to Ozaki-san!! We also thank Naoki-san for the award, Arigado. Next, please enjoy Ozaki Yutaka's "Song of the Evening Fire"."

Yutaka Ozaki still had to endure his excitement while performing on stage, but Naoki Nagayama breathed a sigh of relief and walked off the stage briskly.

Haha, today’s mission is completed!

Just when Naoki Nagayama was about to go back, Otasu Sugiura hurried over.

"Naoki-san! Please wait a moment!"

"?" Nagayama Naoki stopped, "What's the matter, Otaisan, are you out of breath?"

"Naoki-san, please come with me first." Otasu Sugiura pulled Nagayama Naoki and ran to an office in the backstage. There were several people inside, and he only knew Haruta Ueya and Kazuki Takano.

"Naoki-san!" The two of them nodded towards him, and then a middle-aged curly-haired man inside said, "Naoki-san, it's really rude to invite you here suddenly."

This is the producer of FNS Gayo Festival.

"The following award guest, Utsumi Miya Doris, seemed to have gastroenteritis due to stress and went to the hospital."

The producer briefly explained the situation. In fact, the purpose of inviting Naoki Nagayama to come was to let Naoki Nagayama continue to help present two awards.

"Huh? Why me?" Nagayama Naoki was puzzled, "There are many famous artists at the scene, right? Can't Director Takano of the TV station also do it?"

"this"

In fact, Minister Takano will present other more important awards later. If famous artists appear suddenly without rehearsing, problems may arise. Moreover, if they want to appear, they have to contact the agency to obtain permission. Okay. It’s very troublesome anyway, and more importantly, there’s not enough time!

Naoki Nagayama has already signed a contract and also participated in the rehearsal, which is very convenient.

Sugiura Otaishi explained the reason to Nagayama Naoki in a low voice, which made Nagayama Naoki understand.

"If that's the case, then I don't have any problem." It's not a big deal to award a few small awards.

"Thank you so much!" Minister Takano expressed his thanks on behalf of Fuji TV.

"Hahaha, it's okay~"

The awards that Naoki Nagayama wants to present are the Most Excellent Toto Award (the Most Outstanding Popularity Award) and the Best Lyrics, Composition and Arrangement Award.

Since there was no reason to go down, Nagayama Naoki was waiting backstage, watching the candidate singers getting ready to take the stage.

"Junko-chan?" Naoki Nagayama saw an acquaintance.

"Naoki-san, why are you still here?" Junko Ito came over in confusion, "Hasn't the Newcomer Award been awarded already?"

"Suddenly I have to help present other awards." Nagayama Naoki smiled, "What is Junko-chan's current award?"

"Ah, it's the Outstanding Song Music Award." Junko Ito said a little nervously, "It's the song '桜色马うころ(When the Cherry Blossoms Are Flying)'".

It turns out to be this song, so it’s not surprising~ Naoki Nagayama knew that this song also topped the Oricon chart for more than a month.

"I just killed you, maybe you can get a big reward~"

Nagayama Naoki falsely encouraged. In fact, this song was released in the first half of the year, and its popularity in the second half of the year has dropped. The judges who are scoring now may be more biased towards popular songs, not to mention there are so many competitors. .

"Hi~"

While the two were talking, another artist came out from the background, wearing a black tulle skirt, Akina Nakamori.

When I saw Naoki Nagayama talking to another girl, I felt sour and ran over immediately: "Naoki-san!"

"Akina!" Naoki Nagayama looked at the singing costume that looked like an abstinence style, "Are you going to perform "Forbidden Zone"?"

"Hi!" Nakamori Akina said happily, "I am a candidate for the most outstanding ヒット Award (popular)."

"Oh? Then maybe I will give you the award!" Naoki Nagayama said with a smile. After all, Akina Nakamori is the most popular female idol, except for Matsuda Seiko.

However, Matsuda Seiko will probably pursue the ultimate grand prize this year, so the winner of the Most Excellent Potato Award (popular) is likely to be Nakamori Akina.

"Arigado~" Akina smiled brightly.

After chatting for a while, the singers backstage came onto the stage one by one.

Songs were sung one after another, awards were presented one after another,

The audience cheered, but the people in the backstage could only wait silently.

Finally, Naoki Nagayama heard the voice of the host, Shigeru Tsurugi:

"Please welcome Mr. Naoki Nagayama to present the awards."

Naoki Nagayama stepped onto the stage again, but this time, the cheers from the audience were even louder! There were even whistles, but at the same time there were also boos from some fanatical fans.

The one waiting for the award on the stage was indeed Akina Nakamori!

The hottest rumor object recently actually appeared on the same stage in the nationally broadcasted variety show of the Song Festival! !

I have to say it again, the director of this FNS Song Festival knows what hot spots and traffic are! ! !

At this time, Naoki Nagayama finally came to his senses and couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Could it be that the producer did it on purpose?! Let the original award presenter pretend to be sick? So that I can go on stage?!"

With complicated feelings in his heart, Naoki Nagayama did not stop. He quickly walked to the center of the stage and began to present the award to Akina:

"The recipient of the 12th FNS Song Festival's Best Hit Award - Miss Akina Nakamori! Congratulations!"

As Akina Nakamori bowed, Naoki Nagayama handed her the certificate and trophy.

The small body was holding a few bouquets of flowers, and when she took the certificate and trophy, she almost couldn't hold them. Naoki Nagayama quickly helped to take the flowers, but it caused the audience to cheer again.

The host of the Song Festival, Mari Yoshimura, was also a little nervous and helped to get a bouquet of flowers. Perhaps the situation in the audience was a little unexpected. Mari Yoshimura just wanted to quickly go through the process, so she handed the microphone to Naoki Nagayama:

"Naoki-san, do you have anything to say to Ms. Nakamori Akina?"

"?"

Naoki Nagayama looked at her in confusion. Didn't they agree to simply present an award before going on stage? I don't have an award speech for the original person! ! !

Mari Yoshimura also reacted and realized that this process should be omitted! ! !

Oops, there was an accident! ! !

Seeing that Mari Yoshimura's forehead was sweating, he also knew that this was a mistake made by the host, but in the national live broadcast, no matter what, he had to continue. There was a pleading look in Mari Yoshimura's eyes

On the other side, Akina Nakamori looked confused and was still looking forward to Naoki Nagayama's words.

What can be said in a few seconds?

Naoki Nagayama just wanted to get by without being discovered by the audience, so he thought he could just say some polite words.

But when he saw Akina's bright eyes, his heart moved, and a sentence suddenly came to his mind:

"When I was young, I heard an old man say something, but I could never understand what he meant."

"He told me:

When you are young, it is best not to meet someone who is too amazing~

Otherwise, you will have trouble for the rest of your life!

Until I met Miss Akina Nakamori!

"

"!!!"

Hearing this, the whole audience suddenly fell silent!

Akina Nakamori, who was opposite, seemed to have a CPU burnt out at this moment, and her whole face turned red!

And the host Yoshimura Mari on the side opened her mouth slightly, and had the same idea as the audience below:

Is this a confession? ! Definitely a confession? ! A confession in front of the whole country live? ! !

After a short period of silence, Naoki Nagayama also reacted immediately. This kind of words can't be said casually on TV! ! !

But the words that came out of his mouth can't be taken back!

He just immediately continued: "I think everyone here thinks the same as I do!"

("Ah~~ Ah~~" Who is booing?!)

Pretending not to hear, Nagayama Naoki continued with a thick face: "This time, the Best Hit Award is well deserved by Ms. Nakamori Akina. I hope she can continue to work hard and reach a higher level in the future!!"

With years of experience in controlling the scene, Yoshimura Mari finally reacted and said quickly: "Hey, thank you Naoki-san for your comments and encouragement. We also hope that Ms. Nakamori Akina can continue to work hard and reach a higher level!"

The applause rang out, and the whole venue was noisy again.

Under the command of the executive director, the supporters in the audience immediately began to applaud, and the scene gradually returned to the normal state of the award ceremony.

However, the regrets and inquiries mixed in it could not be calmed for a long time.

Akina on the stage stumbled as she sang the song, while Nagayama Naoki walked to the back of the stage a little lightly.

"Ah Bai! You are a little too proud!"

Say something like this in front of the national audience. It will be hard to end it! Especially when the scandal between the two is raging.

"What should I do?"

Naoki Naoki feels that there seems to be something wrong when he is on the stage. Is he still the legendary "people crazy"? The more attention he gets, the more active he is? !

"Naoki-san, you are really amazing!" Ozaki Yutaka walked to the side of the backstage and praised him first. "Although Naoki-san is very talented, I admire you even more for the golden words he said on the national live broadcast this time!"

"." Looking at this guy with a sidelong glance, Naoki Naoki couldn't tell whether he was praising or making fun of him.

"Ahem, anyway, Naoki-san, I have decided to treat you as an idol!" Ozaki Yutaka ran away with a smile.

Facing the curious, admiring or playful eyes of the backstage, Naoki Naoki walked back to his seat. Yoshimura Otomo also said with a smile: "Naoki-san, is this also your movie promotion? Isn't it a bit too big?"

Rolling his eyes, Naoki Nagayama didn't want to pay attention to him, but then he thought, eh? ! This method seems good! !

"Otomo-san, find some media!"

"What? Naoki-san, are you going to officially announce it? Golden screen?" Yoshimura Otomo was shocked.

"Baga! I want them to promote the movie!!" Naoki Nagayama growled, "The slogan of "Love Letter", 'When you are young, don't meet someone too amazing'. Don't you think it's appropriate?"

"Hmm"

"Wait until I go back and find some stills. Before the release of "Love Letter" this time, we have to hype up the heat and create the best atmosphere!" Naoki Nagayama felt that he had found a good way.

Yoshimura Otomo moved his mouth:

"But, I still think it's more interesting to announce it directly to the public."

"???"

So annoying. I don't have enough writing skills, and I can't write the climax of the plot. It seems that I'd better write salted fish.
