Chapter 1076

~13 min read 2,452 words

The finals of "Voice of Japan" were even hotter than the previous recordings.

The lighting, stage design, and the enthusiastic applause of the audience made the atmosphere on site very intense.

The contestants themselves were very talented, coupled with the careful guidance of the experienced mentors, the performance effect of the finals was very good, so good that Naoki Nagayama didn't even need to edit it after recording.

And the most impressive one was naturally the original No. 5, Sachiko Kamachi. Mentor Miyuki Nakajima chose a competition song tailored for her, which perfectly highlighted her vocal range and voice.

Her attire on stage was also very simple. Among the many glamorous contestants, only she wore a loose shirt and jeans, and at most she just tied a knot at the hem of the shirt, adding a touch of liveliness.

Without styling to distract attention, the audience and mentors were focused on her singing, experiencing the warm and fresh singing voice that was like a clear spring...

Akina was also listening intently in the audience. After Izumi Sakai finished singing, she applauded and cheered hard!

This scene was naturally filmed by the camera~

By the time all the contestants' performances were over, more than two hours had passed. Field director Kong Shangcun paused the recording to let the studio take a short break, and he also communicated with the guests about the script for the subsequent recording.

"The younger generation of singers today is really amazing!"

Akina sighed softly,

"It's only been a year, and the newcomers in the entertainment industry are already popping up one by one!"

With "Voice of Japan" being so popular, these contestants who entered the finals will enter the entertainment industry later, and there will definitely be agencies signing and supporting them.

The turnover in the entertainment industry is so fast that there are very few evergreen artists. For a popular idol like Akina, after retiring for a year and making a comeback, the competition she will face is more than just her previous rivals!

"Akina must have confidence!" Naoki Nagayama comforted, "Akina still has so many loyal fans!"

Just at this time, Sachiko Kamachi, who had finished recording, walked over to greet the big boss.

"Naoki-san! Good afternoon..."

So this is Hezi's brother. Thinking of the misunderstanding at the milk tea shop before, Sachiko Kamachi felt a little shy, and her fair cheeks couldn't help but turn a little red...

Then she saw Akina Nakamori looking at her with curious eyes:

"Akina-san... Nice to meet you, I am Sachiko Kamachi..."

"Nice to meet you..."

Akina nodded and said with a smile,

"You sang very well just now!"

"Arigato~" Sachiko Kamachi looked at her mentor Miyuki Nakajima modestly, "Miyuki-san helped me choose the song and gave me a lot of advice..."

"Sachiko-chan has already signed a contract with Shuyu, right?" Akina asked.

"Yes, it was decided a while ago." Sachiko Kamachi nodded.

"That's a pity, I originally wanted to say that Yan Yin could also consider it..."

Akina was already a shareholder of Yan Yin, so when she spoke, she was thinking about her own agency.

"Thank you, Akina-san..."

"Where are you from, Sachiko-chan?"

"Kanagawa..."

"......"

The two girls started chatting and left Naoki Nagayama aside, making him feel a little awkward. He couldn't leave, couldn't stay, and couldn't interrupt, so he could only stand there with a smile.

Until the conversation started to get a bit strange~

"Did Sachiko-chan and Naoki-san know each other before?"

"Ah... yes." Sachiko Kamachi nodded, "We met at Hezi's milk tea shop, and that's how we got to know each other... At that time, Naoki-san introduced the Shuyu agency."

"Oh~~ So you discovered Sachiko-chan's talent at first sight, Naoki-san really has an eye for talent!"

Akina looked at Naoki Nagayama with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, making someone feel a bit like they were on pins and needles.

"???"

Akina, what kind of expression is that? So a smile that isn't quite a smile can really be expressed!

But I only met her once!

Naoki Nagayama hurriedly spoke:

"At that time, Kamachi-san had already been chosen by all four mentors, and producer Kazuhisa Fujiwara specifically mentioned it to me!"

"I see..." Akina still looked at Sachiko Kamachi with a full smile, "Sure enough, excellent people can shine anywhere!"

"Akina-san, you flatter me~"

Sachiko Kamachi also felt the strange atmosphere, looked back at the director and mentors who were already ready, and politely said goodbye,

"Naoki-san, Akina-san, the recording is about to continue, I'll go over first..."

"Yes, Ganbatte!"

Akina encouraged her a little, and Naoki Nagayama also made a cheering gesture.

After sitting back in the audience, Akina smiled and asked her husband:

"So you met at Hezi's milk tea shop..."

"Yeah, didn't I tell you?" Naoki Nagayama said righteously, "We almost had a misunderstanding!"

Akina recalled for a while, and then remembered that they had indeed talked about it before:

"Is that the time you were almost mistaken for a Yakuza?!"

"Yeah... it was at that time, and I mentioned that Shuyu agency has good benefits!"

"Oh~~~"

"Akina, what the hell are you 'oh-ing' about?!"

"Nothing, just expressing that I know!"

"Why did you drag out your tone?"

"Can't I act cute?!"

"....."

Until the recording was finished this time, Sachiko Kamachi didn't come over to say hello again~

Returned to Shanyingyuan to take care of the child, and nothing happened all night~

When it comes to news, the media is always very fast.

Yesterday, Akina Nakamori and Naoki Nagayama were filmed appearing at Nippon Television, and the photos and news appeared in the newspaper the next day.

Even the photos of the two watching the recording site together inside the studio were leaked...

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Naoki Nagayama shook his head while looking at the newspaper,

"Sure enough, there are many informants in the studio, did they even bring cameras in?!"

"Nani nani?"

Akina leaned over and looked at the photos in the newspaper. One was a back view of the two getting out of the car, and the other was a side view in the studio, where the two seemed to be chatting about something while watching the performance on stage.

"The Nagayama couple arrived at NTV in a luxury car and watched the recording of "Voice of Japan" together... Suspected of knowing the program process in advance, preparing to participate?!"

Akina laughed,

"Hahaha, sure enough, they thought so! Naoki-san really knows the psychology of the media like the back of his hand!"

What is this? You have to know that in the information age, he has experienced all kinds of gossip, and he is already tired of all kinds of reversals and reversals!

What does the media want? Just traffic. As long as you grasp this point, you can make the media work for you!

"Really amazing!"

Akina never skimps on praise for her husband.

"After that, we will slowly throw out the revelations on our side." Naoki Nagayama said, "Yan Yin will also cooperate to throw out clips of the new song... start warming up for the new song!"

"Yes, I'll go take the promotional photos today!"

"Yeah!"

After breakfast, Naoki Nagayama drove to the Shuyu building and greeted Xing Jiahua at the front desk:

"Jiahua-chan, good morning!"

"Eh? Naoki-san, morning... Naoki-san, why are you here so early today?!"

It's 9 o'clock in the morning, the working hours for employees!

"I'm here to see how the script modification is going~"

Ever since he took over "Ghost", Naoki Nagayama felt as if he had found his backbone, and his whole person became energetic.

Sure enough, people will be energetic if they have something to do. Otherwise, if you eat, drink, and play all day without doing anything, you will actually feel empty inside. Of course, the work you do shouldn't be hard labor without a sense of achievement~

Xing Jiahua naturally couldn't understand her big boss's mental state, but she still provided full emotional value:

"I see, Naoki-san is really professional!"

"... Hahaha, Jiahua-chan's flattery skills still need practice!"

"......"

Xing Jiahua covered her face in shame...

After teasing the little girl at the front desk, Naoki Nagayama happily went to his office, and then sent a message to the people at the script center through the phone on the desk, asking them to bring the modified "Ghost" script to his office~

Editor-in-chief Tian Hao Tai, who received the call, felt his heart skip a beat... Who can understand the shock of being suddenly called by the boss to report on work?!

He hurriedly packed up the manuscript paper, told his colleagues a few words, and then headed to the top floor office.

"Knock knock..."

"Please come in~"

"Excuse me..." Tian Hao Tai pushed the door open and walked in, "Naoki-san..."

"Ah, Tian-kun, how is the script for "Ghost" coming along?"

"Yes, the script outline has been finished, and the details are still being modified."

Tian Hao Tai handed over the manuscript paper in his hand tremblingly,

"Because it hasn't been many days since the last character assignment, we didn't rush it..."

"Yeah~"

Naoki Nagayama took the manuscript and looked at it. Sure enough, the outline had been slightly modified according to his opinions at the meeting, but other scenes and plots were a bit far from the "Ghost" in his impression.

"Due to the injury of Nishimoto Tomoyuki, I will take over this movie..."

Naoki Nagayama frowned, a little dissatisfied with the script,

"Let me modify the subsequent script... I have some ideas about this movie."

"Eh?! Naoki-san is in charge?!" Tian Hao Tai was very surprised, but what scared him more was another sentence, "Naoki-san is going to modify the script?"

"What's wrong?" Naoki Nagayama laughed, "Don't you trust me to modify it?"

"Ah... no no no!"

How could Tian Hao Tai not trust him? Naoki Nagayama is a well-known writer and a screenwriter who has won the Blue Ribbon Best Screenplay Award... It's just...

"Naoki-san, this was originally the work of the script center, how can we trouble you to modify it?"

Isn't this stealing our rice bowl?!

"Let us modify it according to your opinions..."

"It's too troublesome to communicate some plots in my mind with you~"

Naoki Nagayama shook his head. The pottery-making scene in "Ghost" is so ambiguous, and communicating with a big man like you is very sticky,

"So, I'd better write it myself!"

"....." Tian Hao Tai didn't know how to recover for a while.

"Anyway, that's it!" Naoki Nagayama waved his hand, "Tian-kun, go busy with other scripts, aren't there many left?"

"...... Yes!"

When Tian Hao Tai left with heavy steps, Fangcun Dayou pushed the door and walked in:

"Naoki-san, I heard you came very early today? Earlier than me?! Did something big happen?"

"What big thing could happen..."

Naoki Nagayama was helpless,

"Just came to get the script for "Ghost". Since it's decided to be filmed before the end of the year, I'm going to modify it myself..."

Fangcun Dayou walked to the desk and saw the manuscript paper:

"So that's what it is... I thought it was because Naoki-san was in the newspaper again today and was too excited~"

"Didn't I tell you about this hype?"

"I didn't expect it to be in the newspaper as soon as it appeared~" Fangcun Dayou said with a smile, "It seems Naoki-san's charm is as good as ever!"

"......."

Naoki Nagayama wanted to roll his eyes at his friend. What do you mean charm is as good as ever?! I've always been a top streamer, okay! It's just that I don't show up often.

"After that, Yan Yin will also release some news to keep the heat up." Naoki Nagayama said, "After the finals of "Voice of Japan" come out, when the heat is at its highest, Akina will also release a record. The two sides will join forces to keep this matter on the headlines..."

"Yeah yeah yeah~"

Fangcun Dayou nodded continuously. This plan basically doesn't need investment, but the effect is excellent, and the cost-performance ratio is super high!

After the surge in his heart subsided, Fangcun Dayou looked at Naoki Nagayama:

"So you came here today just to get the script?"

"Almost... what's wrong?"

"Since you're here, let's go to a meeting with me!"

Fangcun Dayou bypassed the desk and grabbed Naoki Nagayama's arm without letting go,

"Regarding the Tokyo International Film Festival, the chairman of the executive committee, that guy named Kiba Sadanaga, wants to meet and have a meal with the committee members of the executive committee in advance, saying he wants to get to know them..."

"Ha?" Naoki Nagayama wanted to refuse, "Dayou-san, I'm not good at this kind of social stuff! I can't do it!"

"You have to do it even if you can't! Naoki-san is the face of our Shuyu!

That old aristocrat Kiba Sadanaga has quite a temper, and he has been saying he wants to see the genius writer of Shuyu! These guys just like literature, which reflects aristocratic temperament..."

Don't look at Fangcun Dayou's age, but his strength is not small. He grabbed Naoki Nagayama's arm and didn't let go,

"Hehehe, I finally caught you! You can't go even if you want to this time!"

"......"

Naoki Nagayama felt like he was going to be thrown into the tiger's den this time?!

"Alright, alright, it's just a meal! As a boss, it's normal to be forced to do business~"

Fangcun Dayou pulled Naoki Nagayama out of the office, asked his assistant to notify the driver to take the car, and then kept persuading Naoki Nagayama,

"That guy Kiba Sadanaga has a wide network in the government, it's best not to offend him~

It's just a lunch, at most toast a drink~

This is all for the smooth holding of the Tokyo International Film Festival, and also for the better development of the Shuyu Group... Everyone will remember Naoki-san's contribution!"

"......."

Naoki Nagayama was helplessly pushed by Fangcun Dayou,

"Dayou-san, why are your excuses so practiced... Did you arrange a lot of this kind of business for Shuyu's artists?!"

"Let me tell you, this is not okay, Shuyu doesn't do that pillow business stuff!"

"......"

Fangcun Dayou had black lines on his forehead,

"I wouldn't do such illegal things either! But in the social occasions of the entertainment industry, as a member of Shuyu, it's always right to cooperate and flatter!"

"...... So I need to cooperate now, right?"

"Aren't you a member of Shuyu?! I've always been the one to go, this time Naoki-san, just sacrifice yourself! Hahaha~"

"..... Eh eh eh......"

Damn, I've been checkmated!

It seems Fangcun Dayou has been waiting for this moment for a long time!
