Chapter 597 604, Everything Is for the Art of Film!

"Naoki-san, thank you so much this time!"

After the recording, Haruta Ueya sincerely thanked Naoki Nagayama. He felt that he was so lucky to have Naoki Nagayama participate in the first episode of the show! I feel like I don’t have to worry about the ratings anymore!

"Haha, where is it?"

With a forced smile on his face, Naoki Nagayama accepted the compliment from the program director. The subsequent effect was indeed beyond his expectation.

There seems to be a characteristic. As long as he stands on the stage, the podium, or is in a position where the spotlight or camera is focused, the madness or expressiveness deep in his heart will appear.

As a result, they will say strange things, or make unexpected actions. Fortunately, so far, the objective impact has been good, and at least there will be more to watch.

Just when he was about to go out, Akashi's saury also came over to say goodbye:

"Naoki-san, it's fun to work with you every time! I look forward to recording a program together next time."

"That's because Qiu Sanma's field control skills are very good!"

The sedan chair was carrying people, and Nagayama Naoki also said some scene words. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he walked out of the studio door.

I have decided that it is best not to go on stage this year!

Just as he was about to walk towards the parking lot, he heard a surprised voice in the distance: "Naoki-san! You're finally out!"

At the end of the corridor, Nishi Rumi was waving to Naoki Nagayama.

"Naoki-san, why didn't Fuji TV come to see us?" Wearing a printed shirt and a dark yellow suit, he quickly walked to Naoki Nagayama's side.

"Haha, I thought Nishiri Misou went out to record." Nagayama Naoki knew that "Dusk Meow Meow" was released once a day, so the pressure of recording was always there. "You look like this, have you been waiting for me?"

Nishi Rumi didn't hide anything: "Yes, I knew that Naoki-san would come to record the show today, so I waited until the recording was over to come to you!"

Then this little beauty pushed Nagayama Naoki towards the preparation team of "Dusk Meow Meow": "Hurry up and go to the preparation team with me. Otaisan told me that I must take you there!"

".Nishirumi-san, I can go by myself~"

"That won't work. What if I ran away halfway?"

It was actually pushed towards the office like a cart. What is this, a beautiful woman pushing a cart?

After waiting for the show's preparation team, Nagayama Naoki found that almost all the members were here, including Sugiura Oyasu and Akimoto Yasushi.

"Naoki-san!" Otasu Sugiura greeted happily, "I haven't been here for a long time!"

"I've been busy with other things recently." Nagayama Naoki explained with a smile, then nodded towards the fat young man, "Akimoto-san~"

"Naoki-san~" Yasushi Akimoto also greeted and asked with a smile, "How is the recording of the new program going?"

"It went very smoothly, the recording has been completed!" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "I will edit it in the next two days, and it should be broadcast soon!"

"I heard it will be released on Tuesday night!" Nishirumi interjected, "It seems to be at the beginning of the month before everyone has forgotten it."

"Is that so? Haruta-san may have to work overtime."

Nagayama Naoki was not too surprised. After all, the program was recorded in a studio, and the process was relatively simple. In addition, the previous interview materials had been edited long ago, so there was no problem in editing it after two days of overtime.

Otasu Sugiura also joined in the pleasantries: "What other things are Naoki-san busy with recently?"

"Haha, in addition to preparing for the movie, there is also a new nightclub being renovated." Nagayama Naoki responded with a smile, "It is expected to be officially opened in April, but before that there will be a trial opening, Otaisan, Akimoto Sang and Nishiro Mei-san, do you want to give me a face and experience it?"

"Nightclub!" "European model series!" "Be sure to invite me!"

After hearing this, several people became interested.

Being in the entertainment industry, they are frequent guests of nightclubs. Yasushi Akimoto already has the name of the little prince of nightclubs. In addition, several people know that Naoki Nagayama is actually the owner of the famous disco in Takadanobaba, so Everyone is looking forward to the new nightclub under his name.

Besides, with Nagayama Naoki’s current status as a coffee shop, even if they are invited to a roadside stall, they will be happy to go along with them, and maybe even call it “having fun with the people” and “experience the smell of fireworks”. some type of

"Okay, it's settled, I'll let everyone know when the trial opening begins." Nagayama Naoki also looked very happy. The more people there are, and they are people in the entertainment industry, the reputation of KTV will definitely spread quickly!

"Hi~"

After a few heated conversations, the conversation finally came to the topic:

"Naoki-san, what do you think of the recent "Dusk Mew"?"

"." Oops, Naoki Nagayama hasn't watched it for a long time! But you must not panic at this time!

"Huh? I think it's okay. Does Taisang think there's anything wrong?"

"Since the addition of the tutor scoring system, senior teaching, etc., the format of the entire program has become bloated," Otasu Sugiura said in a serious tone, "Judging from the feedback from the audience, everyone feels that in these episodes, the Kitten Club's Although there are more members, the recognition has dropped a lot, and fans’ attention seems to be distracted.”

Yasushi Akimoto also interjected: "Yes, because the selection is based on the criteria of the audience and fans, the members are more or less similar."

"Ah, that's it. There's nothing we can do about it."

Naoki Nagayama actually understands that although the public's aesthetics are all kinds of strange, there are always some commonalities. For example, round faces, fair skin, sweet smiles, etc. are the commonalities of the public's aesthetics in this era.

Just like the Internet celebrity beauties in later generations under the beauty technology, they have big eyes, double eyelids, white skin, great omens of evil, etc.

Therefore, after counting the opinions of a large number of viewers, members who agree with these conditions will be selected. Naturally, the Kitty Club will become more and more like Korean beauties, templated.

"Naoki-san, the current appeal of the show is still there, but if it continues like this, the ratings of "Twilight Meow Meow" will one day be unsustainable." Sugiura Oitai said very worriedly.

Yes, "Dusk Meow" originally had a lifespan of two years. After Nagayama Naoki's crazy additions, whether it can survive one year is a question.

Nagayama Naoki thought for a moment and said with a heavy expression, "In that case, we can only use the special move!"

"Nirvana?!"

This keyword suddenly made several people in the preparatory team office look over. Even the team members who were pretending to be immersed in writing scripts but were actually eavesdropping raised their heads.

"Yeah, a special move! But if you hurt the enemy a thousand times, you will suffer eight hundred losses!" Naoki Nagayama started breathing heavily in the middle of his words.

"."

There was silence for a while, but finally Yasushi Akimoto couldn't hold it back: "Naoki-san, what is your special move?"

"That's graduation!"

"???"

"Members of the Kitten Club, after a period of learning together as a team, some members can graduate early and go to the entertainment industry on their own!" Naoki Nagayama recalled how layoffs in later generations were ignored.

"What Naoki-san means is actually elimination!" Otasu Sugiura hit the nail on the head.

"Yes." Naoki Nagayama scratched his cheek, "But when promoting to the outside world, we can't be so straightforward, or let the audience and fans accept the unacceptable!"

"After all, the Kitten Club is a harmonious and friendly family."

"." Several people next to him were silent for a moment.

"Ahem." Sugiura Otai took the lead to calm down, "Naoki-san, if we start the elimination system at this time, won't we lose some of our fans?"

"Yes, there is nothing we can do about it, but since there are idol members of the same type, it is very possible to transfer there!"

"These fans are still very loyal!" Nishirumi interjected, "Each member has his own escort team!"

"So if you injure the enemy a thousand, you will lose eight hundred to yourself~" Nagayama Naoki said, "If you lose fans for a while, you will gain future possibilities. Only when you lose money~"

"Da Tai-san and Akimoto-san, we should also select some non-mainstream members appropriately in the selection of future members." Nagayama Naoki and the other two people gave instructions, "Then the Kitten Club will also have more offline exchanges. stand up"

"Graduated members should not give up. Idols with a fan base will also make some achievements in their own development. Minister Etsuro Kikuchi is very familiar with this."

"In the future, we can also link up with the Kitten Club. As there are more and more members like this, maybe the idol circle will be dominated by the Kitten Club!"

Nagayama Naoki and a few others are imagining the beautiful picture of the future. Indeed, in the future AKB48 and Nogizaka46 will almost monopolize the Japanese idol circle, and Yasushi Akimoto is also considered the father of Japanese female idols!

Sugiura Oyasu and Nishi Rumi listened with great concentration, and Akimoto Yasushi's eyes shone even more. Regardless of what the future holds, at least the current elimination system can be said to be a good way to re-energize the program.

At this time, Nagayama Naoki no longer cares what "Dusk Mew" will become.

However, after coming up with the idea, Sugiura Otaishi made sure to invite Nagayama Naoki to have a big meal, saying that it was for the cost of being a consultant.

While eating, I asked about the player who was given to the tree friend before.

"Naoki-san, how are you adapting to Shuyou, little Bibimaki-san?" Akimoto Yasushi had a pretty good impression of this girl.

"Smoked sauce, I get along well with everyone." Naoki Nagayama put a little wasabi on the tuna slices and stuffed it into his mouth. After a burst of spicy taste, he enjoyed the fresh and sweet taste that had not been treated by nuclear sewage. taste.

"It has been said before that Shuyou Pictures will use Xunjiang as the heroine in the next "Love Will End" movie."

"It's really enviable!" Nishi Rumi exclaimed, "A contestant who didn't even get into the Kitten Club actually participated in a movie by a famous director like Director Itou, and she was the heroine. It's like a leap to the top!"

"Hahaha, this is the fate of life!" Sugiura Otai drank a glass of soju, "It is also her luck."

Since we are eating, there is no need to chat seriously. Nagayama Naoki also said easily: "Actually, the movie "Love Will End Like the Rain" is based on Shuichi-san's first love! Kaoru-chan is very similar to Shuichi. Sang’s first love, that’s why I was chosen!”

"Nani?!!"

For a while, a pleasant gossip began to be shared around the small table.

In fact, all gossip in the entertainment industry is constantly generated, spread, and distributed in such a similar atmosphere until it becomes a hot spot, or it becomes silent and becomes a continuous accumulation of the entertainment industry.

The next day, Nagayama Naoki got up on time.

But his memory of last night was a bit hazy. He drank too much!

Nagayama Naoki, who had a very good alcohol tolerance, had never been drunk by anyone in a one-on-one match. However, the three opponents on the other side last night were all experienced drinkers. It was already very impressive that he could fight three people without losing his memory!

After washing up and going downstairs, he was surprised to find Yingtaro barking in the yard. When he got closer, he saw that this silly dog ​​was looking up at the cherry tree.

Under the bright morning light, the originally bare branches were already covered with pink and white buds, reflecting bits of crystal light.

And at the top of the branches, there were already several cherry blossoms, which had opened their closed petals. A tender cherry blossom trembled slightly with the morning breeze, as if it was afraid and shy.

The cherry blossoms in Yamazakurayuan were blooming again!

"It's the annual cherry blossom festival again!" Naoki Nagayama sighed as he looked at the beautiful scene, "Since it's time, it's time to speed up the pace of "April Story"!"

The cherry blossom season is only one week. The cherry blossoms at Musashino University may not be in bloom at this time, but other shots can be taken in advance!

Thinking of this, Naoki Nagayama rarely took Inataro for a walk. Instead, he simply ate some milk bread and drove to the studio.

"Naoki-san! Good morning!" Xing Jiahua greeted unexpectedly. She came to open the door in advance. Most of the employees didn't come at this time, and Naoki Nagayama had never come so early!

"Ah, Hana-chan, good morning." Naoki Nagayama originally wanted to go directly to the office, but after thinking for a while, he asked, "Will Masataka come here today?"

"Huh? Masataka-kun"

Xing Jiahua didn't know, but Komori Masataka hadn't gone out to run channels during this period, so he still had a lot of time in the studio.

Naoki Nagayama didn't say much: "If Masataka-kun comes, Hana-chan will tell him that I want to see him."

"Hey, I'll tell him when Masataka-kun comes!"

After entering the office, Naoki Nagayama took out the shooting plan of "April Story" from the drawer of his desk and began to adjust it.

"Naoki-san!" When Yoshimura Otomo came, he was surprised to find that he was not the first one in the office, "Why are you so early today?"

"Because the cherry blossoms are blooming, "April Story" will start early."

"Is that so?" Yoshimura Otomo nodded.

Next, when Idou Shuichi came, he also asked again.

"So we're going to start shooting today?" Idou Shuichi was curious, "Is there a blessing ceremony for the start of the shooting?"

"It seems that there is no opening ceremony for the movies I shot."

Naoki Nagayama thought about the movies he directed, from "Paranormal Activity" to "That Summer, the Quiet Sea", and then "Love Letter". None of them had a blessing, because the timing of shooting was very sudden, and "Love Letter" was shot secretly at the beginning.

"." Idou Shuichi was speechless, "Okay, Naoki-san's characteristics."

"So what are you going to do today?"

"Some preliminary work."

While talking, Komori Masataka pushed the door in,

"Naoki-san, you're looking for me?"

"Yeah," Naoki Naoyama said, "Since Shuichi-san's movie is not shooting for the time being, Masataka-kun can also help me. A lot of shots of "April Story" need to be completed within seven days, and it seems that Kijima-kun alone is not enough."

"Hi!" Komori Masataka nodded without hesitation. Following Naoyama Naoki to shoot a movie, you can learn a lot!

"In that case, you can take a look at the shooting plan first!" Naoyama Naoki handed him the adjusted shooting schedule, "By the way, go to the crew and let Kijima-kun gather the people!"

"Hi!" Komori Masataka closed the door and left.

Seeing Naoki Nagayama in a hurry, Idou Shuichi beside him also became curious, "Naoki-san, how about I come to help?"

"Hey, Shuichi-san, don't you have other things to do?"

"It's okay, I don't have much to do, I'm not in a hurry." Idou Shuichi looked casual, completely ignoring Yoshimura Otomo who had a lot of things to do beside him. He had completely forgotten the lesson he learned some time ago!

"Then I'll trouble Shuichi-san!"

The big boss suddenly moved up the shooting schedule, which naturally made the whole crew a little hurried.

Fortunately, the crew was not big, so it was easy to organize. Under the command of Masataka Komori and Kyon Kijima, they soon arrived at Musashino University in a van.

The protagonist, Momoko Kikuchi, a pure rookie, was suddenly dragged to the shooting location and was a little overwhelmed.

But Naoki Nagayama said, "Momoko, very good! This kind of overwhelmedness is just like the first time a college student reports!"

"This morning, we mainly familiarized ourselves with the location and the script for the shooting," Naoki Nagayama comforted, "The shooting will officially start in the afternoon!"

Momoko Kikuchi took the script with a confused look on her face, as if she knew nothing.

Naoki Nagayama smiled and said, "In short, just listen to me!"

"Hi!" The little girl nodded.

As the sun gradually rose, the temperature gradually began to warm up. At least in the sun, it was a little hot to wear a sweater.

Naoki Nagayama explained to Shuichi Ido, Masataka Komori, Kyon Kijima the scenes that would be shot today:

"Today's cherry blossoms haven't bloomed yet. We mainly filmed the heroine Usuki Usuki riding on the street looking for a bookstore after arriving at university in Tokyo because she was not familiar with the direction. In the meantime, we also had to ask the owner of the department store."

"Then after borrowing the book, I have to read on the bench in the park."

After saying this, Naoki Nagayama paused, because in this shot, there needs to be a group of lovers making love selflessly on the chairs next to them. But the extras have not been contacted yet!

"Uzuki Yuno glanced to the side. The young lovers were kissing selflessly, as if they were the only two people on this road. Her face suddenly stiffened. She wanted to escape but didn't know how to avoid attracting attention." Yi Tang Xiuyi read the script and laughed, "Hahaha, it really suits the characteristics of college students! Spring is the season of love!"

Naoki Nagayama said helplessly: "But we haven't contacted the extras yet."

".If the schedule is moved up, there is nothing we can do about it."

After all, everyone was thinking about how to make up for the past. But at this time, isn’t it better to talk to people who are closer to you?

Turning his eyes, Nagayama Naoki looked at the two young men Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyor: "Masataka-kun, Kijima-kun, do you two have girlfriends?"

"Huh?!" Both of them looked over in surprise.

Only then did Nagayama Naoki react and quickly comforted him: "Kishima-kun, it doesn't matter if you don't have it, I can understand it!"

"." Mujima cried with tears on his face and stopped talking. How could a girl like someone with such a low sense of existence?

"Masaka-kun, I remember you have a girlfriend, right? You haven't broken up yet, right?"

".Hi."

Masataka Komori does. He had a girlfriend who was about to get married, but they broke up. Then I found another one. This is the norm for executive directors in the film industry. There is no shortage of girlfriends!

"Then... today I have to sacrifice Lord Masako."

"Eh?!!"

"Call your girlfriend over and kiss in front of the camera!" Naoki Nagayama controlled the muscles on his face to prevent his smile from showing, "This is all for the sake of film art!"

"." Masataka Komori opened his eyes wide and his head went blank!
