Chapter 1069: Akina is a muscle girl to begin with!
*The Voice of Neon* has become completely popular in Neon!
From the second episode, the number of people paying attention began to skyrocket. After the third episode, the attention soared, the discussion soared, and the ratings rose with the tide. And now, it has been broadcast to the fifth episode!
Originally, after the talent shows of the previous few years, the idols selected began to become similar. I thought all the hidden gems among the people had been picked out. I didn't expect that this time, *The Voice of Neon* would suddenly select so many excellent folk masters!
Everyone just realized that the other talent shows had long been occupied by people with backgrounds and channels~
In *The Voice of Neon*, the first contestant to be chosen by all mentors, Sachiko Kamachi, has become a singer seed with some fame, and other contestants chosen by mentors also have their own fans, taking a solid first step into the entertainment industry.
Now even elementary school students know that as long as you hit the armrest and the chair turns, it represents a change in destiny~
"How is the contestant popularity statistics?"
Iku Fujiwara asked the production team. Listening to the opinions of the hotline, they started making something called a "Popularity Ranking" from the fourth episode. As long as the audience calls, they can vote for the person they favor...
Pure manual answering, pure manual statistics, Tree Friend had to temporarily increase the hotline lines and recruit 50 temporary workers to answer the phones.
"Hi, the popularity votes as of 12 o'clock last night have been counted!"
"Yo~shi~" Iku Fujiwara felt relieved. "Then get ready to record!"
At the current stage, almost all contestants have performed and finished choosing. The recording of *The Voice of Neon* has progressed to the stage of internal PK within the team. Mentors will divide their students into groups, give their students the same song to guide, let them duel in pairs, and decide the excellent students to enter the semi-finals...
By the time of the final, each mentor has four contestants under their command, PK-ing on the same stage with other mentors' teams.
And this popularity ranking, in addition to being able to reflect the popularity of each contestant, also has a great effect on the subsequent finals.
When arriving at Nippon TV, the attitude of the TV station staff towards *The Voice of Neon* program team was excellent.
After all, it is the hottest variety show on the TV station at the current stage, even surpassing TBS's *The Best Ten* and Fuji's *Night Hit*...
Even the *Music Station* of TV Asahi, which was broadcast on the same day, was surpassed, making the on-site director of *Music Station*, Yuji Otake, very unhappy, saying that Naoki-san is dismantling his own program.
After arriving at the studio, the mass actors were all in place, the on-site director and staff were checking the final stage, and the contestants of the program team were preparing in their respective team lounges.
"Kamimura-san." Iku Fujiwara hurriedly called the on-site director, Sora Kamimura. "I brought the latest 'Popularity Ranking'."
"Ah, you've been a great help!"
Sora Kamimura was originally checking the stage. After hearing Iku Fujiwara's words, he hurriedly pulled him to the specially made "Popularity Ranking" board on the side.
"The highest popularity... it really is contestant No. 5!"
"Yeah, after all, she was the first contestant to have all four mentors turn around." Iku Fujiwara said with a smile. "And she herself is very impressive..."
"Sachiko Kamachi..." Sora Kamimura said while sticking the popularity data on the board. "It's very similar to Seiko-san's original name, Noriko Kamachi..."
Iku Fujiwara laughed: "Haha, I asked before, it has nothing to do with Seiko Matsuda's family, just a coincidence."
"Is that so~"
The two chatted in a low voice while busy. Sora Kamimura already knew that Sachiko Kamachi had been signed by Tree Friend, so he attached great importance to this contestant now.
"Sachiko Kamachi is rehearsing. I heard that this time Nakajima-san took out a song from her new album as the song for the duel!"
"Oh?"
"It's that song that is currently hot, *Atai no Natsuyasumi (My Summer Vacation)*..."
"Hahaha, it just happens to be summer! And it's a hot song..."
Using a currently hot song for her team members as a PK song, and it's on a high-exposure program like *The Voice of Neon*, it's much stronger than ordinary song promotion. I have to say that Miyuki Nakajima also has some small schemes~
After sticking the popularity ranking, Iku Fujiwara also went to explore the four mentors' respective classrooms.
In order, first is Kenji Sawada's classroom. Kenji Sawada plays rock... Sure enough, as soon as he entered, he saw instruments like drum kits and electric guitars, and Kenji Sawada was guiding the contestants to sing along to the rhythm next to the electronic keyboard.
And naturally, there was also a camera crew recording the process of the mentor guiding the contestants, as material for later editing.
Iku Fujiwara didn't disturb them, but after observing for a while, he silently headed to the second mentor, Takuro Yoshida's classroom.
The folk classroom is a completely different style. The contestants are sitting in a circle, listening to Takuro Yoshida in the middle playing the guitar and singing, more like holding a small concert.
"Folk... sure enough, it's more relaxed..."
Iku Fujiwara had no objections to the different styles of the mentors. Neon music in this era is blooming, and each genre has its own fans. Speaking of which, folk might have more audiences than rock.
"The next one is... Miyuki Nakajima."
Iku Fujiwara came to Miyuki Nakajima's classroom, which is also the mentor he pays most attention to.
After pushing the door open, he found that Miyuki Nakajima was directing Sachiko Kamachi in singing practice, and occasionally demonstrating it herself, while the other contestants were practicing in other corners...
"Sachiko-chan... when singing this song, you don't have to learn my singing style... Vocal teachers all say that singing like me is not good for the voice..."
Miyuki Nakajima said to Sachiko Kamachi with a smile,
"You need to find your own expression, as long as it fits the temperament of this song~"
"Hi, I'll try!"
Sachiko Kamachi nodded very seriously.
Iku Fujiwara watched for a while, it seems that Miyuki Nakajima gives other contestants less time, and the focus is clearly on Sachiko Kamachi. He walked to the side of the filming staff and asked in a low voice:
"Is Nakajima-san giving more guidance to Sachiko Kamachi?"
"Yes... about twice as much as other contestants..."
"Is it actually like this..."
Iku Fujiwara clicked his tongue twice, not knowing what to say. Reasonably speaking, mentors should treat contestants equally, but mentors are also ordinary people, and it is normal to have preferences and favorite contestants...
However, if this is the case, after editing and broadcasting, it will bring a lot of criticism to the newcomer Sachiko Kamachi~
Shaking his head, he didn't express any opinion. After all, even if there are such conflicts and disagreements, it is a good thing for the program itself, which helps with topicality and activity!
After arriving at the last mentor, Hideki Saijo, this classroom was more athletic than other classrooms.
Because of Hideki Saijo's idol experience, what he pursues in performance is singing and dancing, and contestants also have to match movements when singing...
Perhaps in the depth of singing itself, it can't compare to the other three mentors, but in stage performance, it exceeds quite a bit.
"If you match it with the popular American rap, it would be singing, dancing, and rap in one!"
Iku Fujiwara exited the classroom with satisfaction and came to the studio to continue communicating with Sora Kamimura about the on-site recording.
"Kamimura-san, the next stage of *The Voice of Neon* is team confrontation..." Iku Fujiwara said. "Mentors can recommend one person to enter the final semi-finals, and also choose 3 people from other contestants to form a four-person team..."
"Hi, I understand this point."
"Mm, our four mentors have different styles, which is a highlight. When recording, add some evaluations from mentors about each other's styles..."
"What if they start arguing?"
"Arguing is even better!" Iku Fujiwara laughed. "This way, the gimmick of *The Voice of Neon* will be even fuller!"
"How about this, when you are recording, arrange for someone to provoke them!"
"......"
Sora Kamimura finally understood why he had never been able to be the overall producer... The hearts of these producers are really dirty!
In Shanying Yuan in Chiyoda, Naoki Nagayama is receiving Naoya Sakata and Takahiro Makino from the Honma Architectural Design Office.
"Naoki-san, I'm really sorry." Naoya Sakata first expressed his apology. "Honma-san is still on the island... The preliminary design drawings can only be sent by us."
"Still on the island?" Naoki Nagayama was surprised. "How could Honma-san be there? Isn't there no one left?"
"Indeed, the remaining residents have moved away, but the old houses in the village have not been demolished yet..."
Naoya Sakata explained to Naoki Nagayama,
"To better understand the island, Honma-sensei decided to live on the island for a period of time, so he directly requisitioned a farmhouse."
"This..."
To let the people remaining on the island move away, those old houses were actually bought by Naoki Nagayama, so requisitioning them to live in for a while is nothing.
"Naoki-san, Honma-sensei is also building such a large project for the first time, so he wants to be as familiar with the island as possible."
"Sakata-san..."
It's just that Honma Takashi is a middle-aged man, living alone on a desert island... Is he trying to film *Wild Survival*?!
"Don't forget to send supplies to the island in time..."
Naoki Nagayama lowered his head and looked at the design drawings on the table...
This Jurassic Park planned a port at the entrance of the island, designed a main theme park town for its starting point, and then connected several parks through tram tracks.
Among them, the closest is the Mosasaurus Aquarium in the port area, followed by plains with herbivorous dinosaurs like Triceratops and Brachiosaurus, rainforests with Oviraptor and Archaeopteryx, as well as special Tyrannosaurus enclosures, Deinonychus experience halls, etc.
Interspersed with various amusement facilities, such as bumper cars, Ferris wheels, roller coasters, etc.
The expected first phase of construction is the theme town of the port, and then the other parks.
"Naoki-san, large dinosaur sculptures, and small dinosaurs... themselves need to be specially customized, and there is no such professional team in Neon for the time being." Newcomer Takahiro Makino said at this time, "Are we planning to invite specialists from America to customize?"
"No... don't worry about these dinosaurs... leave them to me to handle! You first build the theme buildings..."
If Tree Friend wants to film *Jurassic Park* later, almost all the dinosaurs that appear need to be customized, and they will strive for excellence in pursuing realistic effects, and no other team will be more powerful than the film special effects prop team.
After the filming is completed, the remaining props can naturally be used as the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park itself.
Recycling, not wasting at all!
"Hi, since Naoki-san says so..." Naoya Sakata directly nodded in agreement. "Then we will focus our main energy on the buildings..."
"Mm..."
Naoki Nagayama continued to look at the design drawings. Just at this time, Akina walked down from upstairs holding Xia Hua.
"Sakata-san..."
Nakamori Akina naturally recognized Naoya Sakata; she had seen him many times when Shanying Yuan was renovated before. And Naoya Sakata is also Ishida Kokai's senior brother, and they had met at her wedding.
"Akina-san!" Naoya Sakata stood up to greet her, and then introduced the newcomer next to him, "This is the newcomer of the office, Takahiro Makino."
"Nagayama-san... nice to meet you, please take care of me!"
Takahiro Makino was seeing the legendary big star for the first time and greeted her very respectfully.
"Hi, nice to meet you, Makino-kun, please take care of me..."
Takahiro Makino just graduated. Reasonably speaking, Takahiro Makino is older than Akina, but now the status gap between the two is very large, so Akina is the one with the superior tone.
Naoki Nagayama looked at Akina and was a bit surprised:
"Why did you come down? Is Hua-chan awake?"
"Hi..." Akina nodded, sitting next to Naoki Nagayama holding little Xia Hua. "After waking up, her eyes were looking everywhere, as if looking for her father~"
"Oh?"
Naoki Nagayama saw the baby turn her head to look at him, feeling very happy in his heart, reaching out to hold his daughter's little hand and shaking it,
"Hua-chan, do you miss Daddy?"
"Ah~~ ah~"
Little Xia Hua couldn't even call Daddy or Mommy, she could only wave her little chubby hands and make a few syllables, but now she was clearly smiling... making Naoki Nagayama unable to help but hold the baby in his arms~
Neither of them avoided the presence of outsiders, interacting with the little baby, looking very comfortable, while Naoya Sakata and Takahiro Makino were a bit restrained.
Akina noticed, so she asked:
"Naoki-san, what were you looking at just now?"
"Ah, it's the design drawings for Jurassic Park." Naoki Nagayama signaled Akina to take a look at the design drawings on the table. "Akina, take a look too. When Xia Hua grows up, we'll take her to play together!"
"Girls don't necessarily like dinosaurs~"
Akina said so, but her eyes really looked at them.
Speaking of which, it was also the first time she saw the full picture of the island. The buildings on the design drawings were scaled down, and one could see the size of the desert island at a glance:
"Eh? Is it this big?"
"Of course... otherwise how to raise dinosaurs!"
"This is too exaggerated!"
Akina was surprised; this was even bigger than Disneyland.
"It will also be used to film movies in the future..." Naoki Nagayama held little Xia Hua in a plane hold, letting her also look at the design drawings. "Hua-chan, this will be your amusement park in the future!"
"....."
Naoya Sakata and Takahiro Makino, who were watching this scene from the side, couldn't speak. Other people's children have their own dinosaur theme park from a young age, while they had to save money to buy a dinosaur toy when they were young...
The gap between people, how can it be so big?!
"Akina, do you think there is any problem with the design?" Naoki Nagayama asked for Akina's opinion.
"I can't tell~"
Akina shook her head and put the drawings back on the table.
The buildings and such on it could be seen to be designed according to the descriptions in the book *Jurassic Park*, which fit the original work very well.
"Any opinion is fine, let's gather wisdom~"
Naoki Nagayama encouraged.
"Then..." Akina looked at her husband. "Since Naoki-san is using it to film movies, shouldn't there be a cinema in the town on the island?"
"That makes sense!"
Naoki Nagayama nodded,
"Besides *Jurassic Park*, you can also show other movies! Akina really has ideas!"
Although it sounded like praising a child, the smile on Akina's face was very bright.
The two discussed the construction on the island, you say a word and I say a word, occasionally letting Naoya Sakata and Takahiro Makino participate, putting forward many adjustment opinions.
An hour later, Naoya Sakata and Takahiro Makino said goodbye with their notebooks~
"Naoki-san, if Jurassic Park is to be built well, how long will it take?"
"Overall, it might take about five years..." Naoki Nagayama thought for a while. "However, the first phase of the project, just setting up a frame to film movies, might take a little over a year."
"Five years..."
Akina bent over, looking at the chubby little Xia Hua lying on Naoki Nagayama's arm, gently tapping her nose,
"Hua-chan, did you hear that? Grow up quickly~ Then you can go to Jurassic Park to play!"
Naoki Xia Hua didn't know what her mother was saying, but hearing the familiar voice and feeling the familiar smell, she stretched out her hands to return to her mother's arms~
So a heavy lump returned to Akina's arms.
"Lifting more than ten catties every day..." Akina kissed the baby and sighed, "The muscle lines are coming out!"
"Isn't Akina a muscle girl to begin with?" Naoki Nagayama laughed from the side. "The legendary fifty-catty punch!"
"!!!"
Akina glared at her husband's smiling face, kicked his calf hatefully, and turned to walk towards the courtyard,
"Hua-chan, let's go... let's go outside to breathe fresh air, don't ignore Daddy, this bad guy!"
Naoki Nagayama hurriedly chased out:
"....... Eh?
Akina, don't teach the baby bad things!
Children have a deep impression of their childhood memories!"
And because guests had come, Eitaro, who had been outside, found that his two, no, three masters were competing to come out, and immediately excitedly gathered around.
He thought the masters were playing~
"Eitaro~" Akina immediately directed the dog, "Go knock down Naoki-san!"
"Woof!"
The dog obediently rushed towards Naoki Nagayama. Its front paws landed on Naoki Nagayama's arm, and then it stretched out its tongue to lick Naoki Nagayama's face...
Such a big dog, standing on its hind legs, is not much shorter than an ordinary adult.
"Stop, stop, stop, Eitaro, you have to figure out who is the boss in this house!"
Naoki Nagayama shook his head to avoid the dog's head, and one hand also grabbed the dog's ears, wanting the dog to recognize the facts.
However, Eitaro still kept leaning towards him...
"Woof woof woof! Woof woof (I know, that's why I'm listening to the order!)"
"You silly dog... be careful, I won't give you food tonight!" Naoki Nagayama threatened.
And Akina over there was laughing under the shade of the cherry tree holding little Xia Hua:
"Daijobu, Eitaro, come on... I'll add a can for you tonight!"
"Woof woof woof!"
The dog's tail wagged even more excitedly~
On the cherry tree, Miaotaro lay on the branch and watched this scene quietly, looking leisurely. In order for the baby to sleep peacefully, this cat was sent over to drive away the cicadas, so there was basically no sound of cicadas in Shanying Yuan this summer~
