Chapter 825 833, the Corner Next Door Is Easier to Dig? !
In the afternoon, Nagayama Naoki came to the studio.
"Naoki-san~" Yukika Suzuki was at the front desk and greeted him enthusiastically, "You're here~"
"Hi, good afternoon Yunka-chan~"
There was something in his head, Naoki Nagayama simply responded, and then hurriedly walked into the office.
Surprisingly, both Itou Shuichi and Yoshimura Otomo are here today~
"Shuiichi-san, Otomo-san, you are all here~" Nagayama Naoki also sat in his seat.
"Why did Naoki-san come here this afternoon?"
Itou Shuichi was a little curious, knowing that Nagayama Naoki usually came here in the morning, and then spent the afternoon enjoying life.
"Something happened today." Nagayama Naoki looked at Yoshimura Otomo, "Otomo-san, is there any news about Miss Yamaguchi Momoe in the entertainment industry recently?"
"Momoe Yamaguchi?"
Only then did Yoshimura Otomo turn his eyes. He had watched Yamaguchi Momoe go from being unknown to becoming famous all over the country, and then suddenly retreating when she was at the height of her power~
"If there is any news, it seems that Yamaguchi Momoe-san attended a birthday celebration party with Miura Yuka at a club?"
He thought about it for a moment, and there was indeed a lot less news about Yamaguchi Momoe. This news was already more than a month ago, and there are no photos~
Itou Shuichi became more and more curious:
"Why did Naoki-san suddenly mention Yamaguchi Momoe? Is there any role you want to invite her to play? Or is there a new song suitable for her?"
"None of them." Nagayama Naoki shook his head, feeling a little emotional, "Do you know where Yamaguchi Momoe lives now?"
"Um, it seems to be a building in the port area?" Mr. Fangcun was somewhat impressed.
"Yes, Takanawa 80 Building 502~" Naoki Nagayama had already found out clearly from Keiko Fujita in the morning.
"How come Naoki-san knows so well?!"
"Because I want to buy a new house in Takanawa 80 Building." Nagayama Naoki shrugged, "Maybe I will become neighbors with Yamaguchi Momoe~"
The two people in the office were surprised, and then they remembered that Nagayama Naoki was once a die-hard fan of Yamaguchi Momoe, and attempted suicide because of Yamaguchi Momoe's retirement.
It also reminds me that the careers of Yamaguchi Momoe and Miura Yuka are currently at a low point, and maybe their relationship is also.
When buying a property next to her at this time, could it be that the first-come-first-serve property is closer to the water and the corner next door is easier to dig?
Yoshimura Otomo's expression was a little subtle: "Ahem, Naoki-san, I have a crush on my young crush, your name is Bai Yueguang, right?"
"??"
Naoki Nagayama looked at Yoshimura Otomo in surprise. Did he remember such a strange word after hearing it once?
"What's wrong with Bai Yueguang?"
Yoshimura Otomo hesitated and said strange words:
"Actually, everyone has their own dreams when they were young, but those will pass. When Naoki-san gets older, he will realize that it is better to cherish the people in front of you."
Itou Shuichi also echoed:
"Yes, yes. Cherish the people in front of you. Nakamori Akina is so beautiful. She is no worse than Yamaguchi Momoe."
"."
He was speechless. Nagayama Naoki finally understood. These two guys actually thought they bought that house for Yamaguchi Momoe.
I'm also worried that I'm stepping into two different situations and meddling in my former idol's marriage! ! !
"How can you two be so dirty inside!" Naoki Nagayama said with disdain, "Why are you thinking about extramarital affairs all day long!"
Yoshimura Otomo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Nagayama Naoki had no such thoughts at all, and then said with a smile:
"There's nothing I can do about it. Extramarital affairs are very common in Neon and have been discussed a lot recently~"
"Why are you discussing this?" Naoki Nagayama asked in confusion.
"I know something about this." Itou Xiuichi quickly interjected, showing a mysterious expression, "I heard that it is a novel that is very popular among the upper class recently called "Paradise Lost"~"
"???"
Nagayama Naoki instantly felt inexplicable pressure.
Itou Shuichi is still talking:
"Recently, in more elegant gatherings, this novel has been discussed when talking about literature. The language is beautiful, especially the reflections on extramarital affairs, the emotions are sincere and moving, and the final sacrifice of love is the sublimation of emotions."
Fangcun Dayou also echoed:
"Yeah, the ideas of those rich guys are a little different from ordinary people. But other ordinary people are usually bound by the 'rules' of society. I saw someone breaking the taboo in a novel. Unethical love seems to be describing themselves."
"I really don't know who the author is! He must be a middle-aged man who has rich experience and has seen through the world!"
"I must be a romantic guy, otherwise how could I write such a vivid plot!"
Nagayama Naoki took a strategic sip of water and felt a little ashamed and uneasy listening to the two of them discussing the little emperor's book he had written!
Moreover, due to confidentiality, Naoki Nagayama and Kuniji Morikawa of Shogakukan did not exchange information in a timely manner, and they did not know much about the sales of the new novel.
"So everyone is discussing this novel recently?"
"Yes, yes." Itou Shuichi has been participating in various social venues recently and has seen discussions about "Paradise Lost" more than once. "I heard that even the moms in the club praised this novel during the exchanges. Woolen cloth!"
Unlike sex shops, the slightly more upscale clubs in Japan are places where guests can talk and relax in the constraints of their families.
The novel "Paradise Lost" is erotic but not obscene, and is very literary. It is both ambiguous and literary, as if even drinking wine has a sense of luxury. It can be said that it fits the atmosphere of the club very well.
"Is that so?"
Naoki Naoyama really didn't expect that "Paradise Lost" would become popular in the club first~
"By the way~" Idou Shu paused and looked at Naoki Naoyama, "Naoki-san, you are also very famous in the literary circle. Do you know this author named Sato?"
"." Naoki Naoyama was silent, then moved his mouth slightly and said, "I don't know"
"Sure enough, you don't know either~" Idou Shu shook his head, "I heard that this author is very mysterious, there is no information, and the staff of Shogakukan don't know"
Yoshimura Otomo was also very interested:
"Yes, because I only contacted a chief editor named Morikawa Kuniharu, and the protagonist of the story is the editor of the publishing house. So Many people speculate that the author is the editor!"
"."
Naoki Nagayama's expression remained unchanged, he continued to drink water, and prayed silently in his heart,
"I'm counting on you, Kuniji-san, keep being my shield!!!"
The two guys in the office chatted about the novel, and almost forgot about Naoki Nagayama's previous affairs. After they reacted, they asked:
"Naoki-san, why did you buy a house in Minato-ku?"
"Because Yamazakura-in will be renovated in a while. Didn't I buy the small building next door last time~" Naoki Nagayama explained, "I thought about buying an apartment for a temporary transition. I didn't expect to buy the place where Yamaguchi Momoe lived."
"Oh? Unexpectedly?" Idou Shuichi raised his eyebrows, indicating that he didn't believe it.
"I really didn't expect it until I found out when Ms. Fujita Keiko took me to see the house." Naoki Nagayama tried to convince his two friends, "In fact, I don't pay any attention to Yamaguchi Momoe anymore. I just admired her when I was young~"
"Oh~" "Hmm"
"I'll believe you for once!" Idou Shu nodded, "So today you want to share this with us?"
Naoki Nagayama came to the studio in the afternoon. Idou Shuichi and Yoshimura Otomo both assumed that this guy must have something to say!
"More than that."
"The cherry blossoms in Yamazakurain are blooming~" Naoki Nagayama smiled when talking about business, "Plus it's going to be renovated, so I plan to hold a cherry blossom viewing party this weekend!"
"Cherry blossom viewing party~"
Idou Shuichi and Yoshimura Otomo both relaxed. Speaking of it, the cherry blossom viewing party in Yamazakurain is almost a reserved program for Naoki Nagayama in a year.
Friends who are close to Naoki Nagayama will come to get together, which is equivalent to a small circle~
"How about it, are you free this weekend?" Naoki Nagayama asked.
"Of course!" Idou Shuichi nodded directly. He could turn it down even if he had something to do~
Yoshimura Otomo also nodded: "The cherry blossoms in Yamazakurain are really beautiful~"
"Haha, that's a deal!"
Laughter rang out from time to time in the office, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.
In Shogakukan's office, Morikawa Kuniharu was lying on his desk, tired and thin, and even had dark circles under his eyes.
He has been sleeping in the office for two days.
It was because his wife suspected that he was the author of Paradise Lost and wrote about her own experience, so she asked him who the author was every day, otherwise she would have to pay taxes.
As a result, he didn't even dare to go home~
At Shogakukan, other colleagues would come to ask from time to time, and even acquaintances in the industry called him~
The newcomer Furuya Yuya relied on his connections and pestered him to know who the author was.
And yesterday, even the editor-in-chief Matsui Toshi told him that several big names in the literary world had asked him, and he was under a lot of pressure. He might not be able to bear it and would reveal that Naoki Nagayama was the author.
So he asked him to communicate with Naoki Nagayama in advance, and not to cause any misunderstandings between Shogakukan and him because of this.
"It seems that Naoki-san can't hide it anymore!" Morikawa Kuniharu sighed.
Originally, it was not a big deal for the author of a novel to remain anonymous. After all, readers only care about whether the eggs are delicious, and generally do not pay attention to what the hen that laid the eggs looks like~
But I didn't expect that the novel "Paradise Lost" would have such a big impact in the literary circle. Even the big boss who the editor-in-chief is not easy to offend wants to know who the author is.
"Anyway, let's find a time to meet with Naoki-san~" Morikawa Kuniharu pondered for a while, "It's just right to discuss the sales of "Paradise Lost"."
"Dongdong~"
Just at this time, the office door was knocked.
Then a baby-faced man walked in from the door, holding a cup of hot tea and a tea can:
"Kunji-san, this is the freshest tea this year, just received, I specially brought it to you to taste!"
"."
Looking at this flattering look, Morikawa Kuniharu only knows how to take advantage of others and eat others' mouths.
"I won't tell you, Furuya-kun!"
"." Furuya Yuya's face did not change, and he put down the tea can, "Kunji-san, why bother? You and I both know that you will tell me in the end~"
“.Who do you think I am?” Morikawa Kuniharu said righteously, “I am a senior editor who has been in the publishing industry for more than ten years. Everyone knows that I am the most tight-lipped person!!! No one can get me to say something I don’t want to say!”
“I heard that the editor-in-chief has already let it slip that some big shots also want to know.”
“He won’t!” Morikawa Kuniharu began to sound a little unconfident, “If you promise to keep something confidential, you must keep it confidential! I believe in the editor-in-chief!”
Looking at Morikawa Kuniharu’s subtle expression, Furuya Yuya’s eyes moved slightly:
“Kunichi-san, are you really the author? This book is your autobiography, right?!”
You guessed half right!
Kuniharu Morikawa glanced at the assistant editor,
".Children should not have too much imagination!"
"Heh~ I will know sooner or later!"
When Furuya Yuya closed the door and went out, Kuniharu Morikawa's originally straight back slumped again, and he could only mutter
"Naoki-san, what should I do~"
After leaving the studio, it was not yet evening, and Naoki Nagayama did not want to go home for a while. Looking at the slightly dim sky, he suddenly thought of.
"It seems that Akina is recording "Meu amoré" for the first time today?"
Next Monday's "Night Hit" will start to promote this new song. Such a long program must be recorded in advance today and then edited.
"Do you want to go and see it?"
This idea seems to have taken root in my mind~
But they were still together in the morning, and it seems a bit clingy to go and spy on Akina's recording in the afternoon? ! Can't you even accept being apart for a day?
For the sake of his manliness, Naoki Nagayama was caught in a dilemma~
"Fuji TV" Naoki Nagayama pondered for a moment, then said to himself, "'Love Century' has been broadcast for so long, it's time to communicate the broadcast situation in person!"
After convincing himself in this way, Naoki Nagayama drove towards Fuji TV with a relaxed look on his face, definitely not to peek at his girlfriend!
The headquarters building of Fuji TV is still the same as before, Naoki Nagayama drove directly into the parking lot without stopping.
He took out the souvenirs from the trunk of the car and walked towards the elevator with the bag. When passing by a bunch of small vans, he could still see Akina's blue Porsche parked in the middle.
But Naoki Nagayama naturally did not stop, but took the elevator directly to the floor where Sugiura Daiyasu and Nishi Rumi were.
"Naoki-san?"
As soon as the elevator door opened, he saw Akimoto Yasushi coming towards him, looking like he was in a hurry to leave.
"Akimoto-san? Are you going out?"
"Hi, I'm just going to the set." Akimoto Yasushi said to Naoki Nagayama, "Naoki-san, have you just returned from abroad?"
"I've been back for two days." Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "But I just came to Fuji TV today."
"I see."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Akimoto Yasushi hurried to make his love variety show, leaving only a sturdy back.
"Akimoto Yasushi is completely busy with the new love variety show." Naoki Nagayama sighed, "It seems that "Twilight Meow" is really going to be suspended~"
If it is not going to be suspended, as the main planner, he definitely does not have such time.
But after the others left, Naoki Nagayama realized:
"Oh, I forgot to give you the souvenir."
After arriving at the office of the production team, Naoki Nagayama knocked on the door and saw Sugiura Daiyasu and Nishi Rumi at their workstations.
"Otae-san, Sai Rumi-san."
"Naoki-san! Why are you here?!" Both of them were very happy to see Naoki Nagayama, and they quickly stood up and took Naoki Nagayama to the reception area.
"Didn't I go to Brazil some time ago and bring back some souvenirs?" Naoyama Naoki gave the souvenirs to the two of them, "I just saw Akimoto-san, but I didn't have time to give it to him. Please help me pass it on~"
"Of course no problem!"
Sugiura Otae opened the bag and looked at it. They were all Rio de Janeiro handicrafts and a jar of jam. And Sai Rumi next to him happily took it out to play~
"Arigato, Naoki-san~""Haha, it's all by the way~"
The three of them exchanged greetings for a while, talked about their experiences abroad, and then talked about the recent situation of the TV station.
"I just saw Akimoto-san go to produce a love variety show. So is there anyone in charge of "Twilight Meow Meow" now?"
Sugiura Daitai sighed: "Now it is handed over to ordinary planners to maintain, Naoki-san. There is still no improvement in the show in February. It seems that it will be suspended~"
The suspension of "Twilight Meow Meow" is a foregone conclusion~
"Ha, there is nothing we can do about it. When it was originally planned, it was a program that would rise and fall quickly." Naoyama Naoki was not surprised, but asked, "Has the time been set?"
"It will be in mid-March. We will plan the last episode before the suspension."
Sugiura Daitai talked about the TV station's plan and looked at Naoyama Naoki: "By the way, the last episode will invite all former Kitten Club members. Naoki-san, your wild cat group, as well as Kohiruimaki Kaoru and Kudo Shizuka."
"No problem~" This kind of personal notice must be participated in.
"That's good"
After saying that, Sugiura Daitai was slightly sad. The suspension of a program made both of them silent for a while.
Then Naoyama Naoki changed the subject:
"Da Tai Sang Shuyou's "Love Century", should it be okay now?"
"Ah, "Love Century"!" Sugiura Da Tai laughed, "Nishi Rumi knows this better, she is already a loyal fan!"
"Oh? Really?" Naoki Nagayama looked at Nishi Rumi.
"Da Tai-san~" Nishi Rumi complained a little embarrassedly, and then said a little shyly, "'Love Century' is indeed very attractive"
"The ratings of the latest episode have reached 35%, which is the best result of TV series in the past two years!"
Nagayama Naoki laughed: "Haha, it seems that everyone likes it~ The performances of the male and female protagonists are very good."
Naga Rumi pouted:
"I think it's too good. The indecisive Teppei played by Hideki Saijo-san makes people want to punch him!"
This is the beginning of the sad plot. The relationship between the male protagonist Teppei and the female protagonist Riko will be tested in various ways.
Nagayama Naoki complained in his heart: "I will want to beat him more in the next few episodes!"
Naga Rumi chattered about her views on "Love Century" and also told Naoki Naoyama the feedback received by the TV station.
To sum up:
"Love Century" is very popular and it is simply unstoppable.
After finally calming down the a little excited Nishi Rumi, and chatting with Sugiura Daiyasu, it was already evening before we knew it.
Then the two of them dragged him to a nearby restaurant and had a good meal~
When the sky was full of red clouds, Naoki Nagayama returned to the headquarters of Fuji TV
"Dayasu-san, I'm going to watch the recording of "Night Hit""
"Ah, Naoki-san is going to visit the set!" Nishi Rumi joked.
"Haha~ We can go back together in the evening."
Naoki Nagayama admitted it openly. Anyway, it has been officially announced, so what is there to be afraid of.
"I'm really envious~"
Normaly, Xi Rumi had no reason to stop him. Sugiura Daitai next to him pointed out the location of the studio, and then he parted with Naoki Nagayama~
Watching Naoki Nagayama disappear around the corner, Xi Rumi sighed:
"These two are the best actors in "Love Century"."
Sugiura Daitai shook his head:
"Naoki-san's feelings for himself are much more straightforward than Tetsuya's. Forget it, don't think about them, Xi Rumi, if you are envious, find someone to fall in love with quickly!"
". You have to find someone~"
