Chapter 578 576, the First Dongbao Cinderella

Chapter 578 576, the first Toho Cinderella~

"Naoki-san, come and take a look at this~" Otomo Yoshimura handed over a photo, "See if this fits the protagonist of "April Story"."

Nagayama Naoki took it and took a look. It was a photo of a girl. Although it was a little immature, her delicate facial features and fair skin already had the potential to be beautiful.

"Is this Yasuko Sawaguchi?" Nagayama Naoki thought of this name in his mind.

"Ah, Naoki-san is also paying attention~" Yoshimura Otomo said, "This is a beauty pageant that Toho Art has just launched. It is similar to the national beauty pageant for high school girls and it just ended in January. This Yasuko Sawaguchi was the winner of the first award.

Toho’s Cinderella! "

Naoki Nagayama nodded when he heard this. He usually likes to watch some funny variety shows, and really doesn't pay attention to beauty pageants and the like.

However, he had never heard of Yasuko Sawaguchi, the female idol who was known as the last stunning beauty of the Showa era. Did she debut so early?

It’s only Showa 59. Is it because there won’t be any beautiful newcomers in the entertainment industry in the next few years?

Fangcun Otomo was still beside him, pointing at the photo with joy and saying:

"How about it? Pretty, isn't it? She stood out among 30,000 people! In the end, she was the only one who got the glass slipper!

I heard that she attracted much attention for her beauty when she was in school, and many boys from other schools would come to see her."

"Otomo-san, be careful." Nagayama Naoki pushed the Mediterranean Sea further away, "You are already this age, how come you are as excited as a teenager when you see a beautiful girl?"

"What's the matter? I just like to see beautiful girls!" Yoshimura Otomo showed no moral integrity at all, "Men will remain young until they die!"

"."

After arriving in the Showa era, Naoki Nagayama had already met countless "future celebrities", so he was not too surprised when he learned about Yasuko Sawaguchi. Instead, he thought about it with the photos.

"How about it? Naoki-san, do you think she is suitable for "April Story"?"

Since this movie is in a hurry and will be released in April, Yoshimura Otomo has also been in a hurry to find the leading actor in the past two days.

"No, she is very beautiful." Nagayama Naoki hesitated a little. He always felt that it was a little bit worse. "She is very confident and gentle."

"However, for a girl like this, who has grown up surrounded by praise from everyone, she always feels a little different from the image of a timid girl who has a crush on others."

Nagayama Naoki continued, "Besides, doesn't she already have a film appointment with Toho?"

Those who win Toho Cinderella will get the opportunity to debut given by Toho. This is why Toho Cinderella is known as the best competition for opportunities in the entertainment industry.

Yoshimura Otomo also nodded. Indeed, at this time, we need to invite others to participate in another movie. Toho will not let them go!

"So, how many other idols?"

"Forget it~" Nagayama Naoki looked at the other contestants and said, "None of them are suitable~"

Fangcun Otomo was in trouble: "Are we really going to audition?"

Is it to imitate Toho's Cinderella and have an ugly duckling as a tree friend? Regardless of whether the reputation can be compared with Toho, it is indeed a bit unreasonable to audition the heroine for a literary film that is less than an hour long.

Nagayama Naoki rolled his eyes: "Otomo-san, there is no need to bother talking about it. In fact, there is a place, and I have already helped to screen it. Most of the remaining people are beautiful, and I will definitely find the right one."

"? Where?" Fangcun Dayou was confused.

"Horikoshi High School! There is also Hinode High School!" Nagayama Naoki said, "There must be suitable candidates among the students in these two schools!"

In fact, it is similar to later schools such as China National Theater and Beijing Film Academy, which specialize in training students in the performing arts. These two key aristocratic schools in Japan are full of handsome men and beautiful women.

Especially Sunrise High School, currently called Sunrise Women's Academy High School, specializes in cultivating female artists.

Yoshimura Otomo seemed to be awakened: "Yes, these two schools! And at this time, the largest group of students is about to graduate! It's just the same time as in Naoki-san's movie!"

April is the time for freshmen to enter school. It is now February, just after the college entrance examination. It is completely consistent with the timeline of "April Story".

Nagayama Naoki smiled and said: "Then please Otomo-san and contact the two schools. If possible, it is not impossible to reach long-term cooperation with these two schools!"

For the growing Shuyou Group, fresh blood with formal training is very important.

"Hi! I'll get in touch as soon as possible!"

Yoshimura Otomo suddenly became more motivated.

There were not many things in the studio that required Naoki Nagayama to handle directly, and at most they were just final signatures.

Most of the time, it is enough to check the project progress and accounts at the end of the month and the end of the year. However, as a boss, the most important thing is to have a good relationship with the business side.

So Naoki Nagayama came to Fuji TV with cameraman Koaki Sakata and assistant Mitsuomi Obara.

"Sakata-kun, Obara-kun, remember." Nagayama Naoki said to the two employees in the elevator, "You must take the initiative during the filming and recording process of the show. This show is our tree friend's show. "

"Hi!" X2

Nagayama Naoki came here for the "Newspeak Buzzword Award", so this time he did not go to meet acquaintances such as Director Takano Ikki and Sugiura Oyasu. Instead, he went directly to Ueya Haruta of the second production department.

"Naoki-san, you're here!"

Because they had called in advance, Haruta Ueya warmly received the three of them in the conference room.

"Haruta-san!" Naoki Nagayama greeted, and then introduced, "Behind are the cameraman Koaki Sakata and the assistant Mitsuaki Obara. They are the personnel for this shooting."

"This is our first meeting. Please give me your advice." After a brief greeting, Haruta Ueya said fluently, "We have already vacated the recording location for the new program. Naoki-san can start it whenever he wants."

"That's great," Naoki Nagayama said, "What about the host of the show?"

"Ah, the host has also been decided. Speaking of which, he is an acquaintance of Naoki-san!" Haruta Ueya said with a smile.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the reception room, and a familiar person walked in.

"Naoki-san, we meet again~"

"Ah, who are you?" Naoki Nagayama had met this person before and seemed to have interviewed him once, but he didn't remember his name.

"My name is Nakanishi Naotaro! I'm a reporter and anchor at Fuji TV!"

The person who came was not angry. It was indeed just a random interview that day, and he did not introduce himself. In the subsequent interview at the cinema, he did not use his first name. In short, he looked familiar.

Since that revelation, Naotaro Nakanishi showed his face on the TV station, and his name was remembered by his boss.

The fellow cameraman Tsuji Naoto has already had the opportunity to operate the camera in popular programs, but he is a step late. This is because all current programs have fixed hosts.

When Naoki Nagayama's new program was launched, Ikki Takano directly sent Naotaro Nakanishi over.

"Hi, Nakanishi-san, please take care of me."

"Haha, Naoki-san, just call me Naotaro~" Naotaro Nakanishi's attitude was very low. After all, Naoki Nagayama is the person in charge of the show.

"Okay~" Nagayama Naoki nodded.

"Naotaro-san, Haruta-san, now that we are almost ready, we are going to start recording."

In the internal meeting, Nagayama Naoki did not say anything false, but said sincerely,

"The program is divided into two parts. The interviews and follow-up shots before the studio are mainly filmed by Naotaro-san, Sakata-kun, and Ohara-kun. Shogakukan and Japan Free National Society sent two guests, and monthly updates will also be given. Of course, our tree friends will also publish a copy ourselves. You mainly photograph the origin of the words, the explanations of the guests, and interview passers-by about their opinions."

After finishing the outdoor introduction, Naoki Nagayama talked to Haruta Ueya about the recording requirements in the studio, including the production of the main background.

Because this program is released once a month, there is actually no need to rush too much, but the preparations are always necessary.

"You are all experienced people, so I won't say much about the shooting and recording." Naoki Nagayama said, "I will come to the scene during the first recording. After that, Haruta will mainly have to worry about it."

As a person inserted by Fuji TV, Haruta Ueya needs to play a more important role in the program, so Naoki Nagayama gave him the on-site director.

"Hey, I will definitely live up to Naoki-san's high expectations."

"Haha, Haruta-san must be fine~"

After continuing to discuss some issues during the production of the program, Haruta Kamiya invited the group to take a look at the studio. He said that the studio was finally vacated and the equipment inside was all high-end.

The studio for a small show is naturally not as big as a show like Night Hit.

When Naoki Nagayama walked into the studio, all he saw was a room about the same size as a basketball court. There were still traces of the recording of the previous program, and the white cloth and stage background were still there.

Haruta Ueya explained: "In a month, this studio still has other programs for the first three weeks, but the last week is reserved for us."

"If we want to invite viewers, our TV station will be ready."

Nagayama Naoki looked around and just nodded, while Sakata Kongming and Obara Miguang checked the equipment and found that they were all newer products.

When he was about to leave, Naoki Nagayama said to Naotaro Nakanishi:

"Naotaro-san, tomorrow Shogakukan and the Japan Free National Society will make an appointment, and we can probably shoot the day after tomorrow. The current interviews are relatively fragmented. Sakata Koaki and Obara Mitsuaki used to be filming movies and TV series, so I have to trouble you a lot. ”

"Hey, I'll work hard!" Naotaro Nakanishi is a good person, "There is no problem with the shooting experience of Kong Ming-san and Guangming-san!"

"Hmm~"

While he was talking, Nagayama Naoki heard a voice: "Naoki-san!"

After taking a closer look, it turned out to be Nirumi!

The little beauty walked over quickly: "Naoki-san, why are you here today? Why didn't I see you in the preparation team?"

Naoki Nagayama smiled and said: "Today I'm here to communicate about another program. I haven't gone to the preparation team of "Dusk Meow" yet."

"Well, why don't we go over now!" Sai Rumi said with a smile, "It seems that it's over here, the latest "Dusk Meow" is being previewed!"

"That's it~" Seeing this, Nagayama Naoki could only say to the others: "Haruta-san, Naotaro-san, I'll go over and take a look first. Sakata-kun and Ohara-kun, you can go back by yourself~"

After everyone said goodbye, Nagayama Naoki followed Nishi Rumi to the preparation team of "Dusk Meow Meow". When he opened the office door, it turned out that Sugiura Otaishi and Akimoto Yasushi were watching the latest episode of the program preview tape.

"Naoki-san, you're here!" Otasu Sugiura's eyes were surprised.

"Well, I was originally here to discuss other programs. I heard that the latest preview was ready, so I stopped by to take a look." Nagayama Naoki explained, then turned to greet the fat young man, "Akimoto-san~"

"Naoki-mulberry"

Akimoto Yasushi is a little concerned about Nagayama Naoki now. He now regards the Kitten Club as his forbidden love. But last time, at the request of Sugiura Oitai, he actually gave the little Hibi Maki Kaoru to Nagayama Naoki. And I heard Shuyou has signed her

This is a perfect gift for your daughter! If Akimoto Yasushi's life were a novel, then this would be a big poisonous point for readers to abandon the book!

So at this time, I was a little tangled and awkward to see Nagayama Naoki, so after saying hello, I turned my attention to the show again.

Sugiura Otaishi was completely indifferent and said enthusiastically: "Naoki-san, are you satisfied with Hidden Maki?"

"Haha, that girl is very popular with Shuichi-san, and we have decided to let her join the new movie!" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile.

"Really? That's great!" Otasu Sugiura became even more happy after hearing this, which shows that his move to build a relationship with Shuyu was very successful!

After chatting for a while, Sugiura Oyasu said: "By the way, Naoki-san, come over and watch "Twilight Meow Meow" together. The recent ratings have been unstable after changing the process. We are all looking for the reason~"

"Is it unstable?" Naoki Nagayama walked aside and started to watch together.

The program "Twilight Meow" is currently very famous among middle school and high school students. Because it is broadcast at 17:00, students will rush home and turn on the TV every time after school. This is definitely not a rumor.

However, the growing number of members in the Kitty Club and the increasingly complex processes have made the show more interesting and become more bloated.

Nagayama Naoki can see that there are shadows of various future variety shows such as "The Voice" and "Idol Training Camp" in the program. However, such programs are like shooting stars after all. They are at the top at the beginning and will remain there forever. Falling!

However, he still tried his best to provide some suggestions to let this show survive this year!

"Da Tai-san, Kitty Club is an idol group after all. We need to consider the work of releasing records," Naoki Nagayama said. "Since it is a multi-person group, it is best to have a video tape that combines images and singing."

"Also, we can also do more offline activities. After increasing the stickiness of fans, it will also be very beneficial to the profit of the Kitty Club."

After all, they are positioned as a "civilian idol group", and the distance between them and the audience must not be too far.

Sugiura Otasu and Akimoto Yasushi both listened quietly to Nagayama Naoki's words, and had a rough idea in their minds about the next stage of the program.

"Eh? How does Akina know?" Nagayama Naoki's tone on the phone was full of surprise, "It was obviously just decided not long ago."

"Handdou?"

Inside the Holiday Inn in the Bahamas, Akina Nakamori, who had just finished washing, was lying on the bed holding a microphone. Her beautiful eyes grew in surprise.

"I told Fang Zesang before that Naoshu-san would not go abroad!"

"? Fang Zesang? Why would he talk about me?" Nagayama Naoki was very puzzled, "You care about me so much?"

"this."

Akina laughed and began to talk about Ueda Maki and Akiyuki Fusanoori's speculation that Naoki Nagayama went out of his way to create a chance encounter.

Naoki Nagayama who was sitting on the sofa in Yamazakuin laughed. It turned out that Akina’s manager thought so!

"Speaking of which, when I went abroad, the first two encounters were indeed by chance, but they were all carefully prepared!" Naoki Nagayama didn't hide anything at this time. He had already caught up with them. "Especially those who went to Europe. That time, I specifically asked the flight attendant to upgrade Akina to the next cabin!"

"Eh~~~" Akina Nakamori felt sweet in her heart as she listened to her boyfriend talking about how she planned the chance encounter and the companionship. She lay on the bed with her upper body, but her calves kept shaking in the air, "Naoki-san is so cunning!"

"It's cunning to want to stick with your girlfriend."

Nagayama Naoki was not embarrassed at all, but said a little proudly, "Aren't Akina also very surprised at that time~"

"No~" Akina felt a little embarrassed and decided that she could no longer listen to what her boyfriend said, so she quickly changed the topic.

"Where are Naoki-san going this time?"

"This time, I'm going to Australia. The company wants to shoot some short films in the summer and autumn seasons." Naoki Nagayama didn't mean to hide it, "It will take about a week or so."

"Is that so?" Akina was a little disappointed, it seemed like she wouldn't be able to see her boyfriend this time.

Nagayama Naoki naturally noticed: "What's wrong? It sounds a little unhappy~"

"It's just that we can't see Naoki-san until the award ceremony." Nakamori Akina whispered. By the time she finished filming, it was already more than a week later, just in time to catch up with the Japanese Film Blue Ribbon Award Ceremony. .

"yes."

It has been almost a week since we last met. For lovers in love, it is like a long time since we last met. If you count it, they have not seen each other for 12 years. The urge to see Akina is getting stronger and stronger.

Naoki Nagayama suddenly thought of something: "When Akina comes back, will she also transfer in Hawaii?"

"Well, she also said that she would stay in Hawaii for a day." Akina said, "Experience the Hawaiian style."

"One day?" Naoki Nagayama pondered for a moment, "Akina. How about I wait for you in Hawaii~"

"Huh?" Akina Nakamori was a little surprised and sat up from the bed, "But isn't Australia in the southern hemisphere? Doesn't Naoki-san have to work?"

"Don't worry about it. Does Akina want to see me in Hawaii?" Naoki Nagayama scored a straight goal.

Work? Isn't that the employee's business? What does it have to do with the boss? Besides, is work more important than having a girlfriend?

"." Akina hesitated in the room for a while, and finally said softly,

"I want~"
