Chapter 1340

When immersed in one thing, the days flow by like running water.

After conquering the first dinosaur shot, the production of special effects shots became orderly. First, find the motion model, then synthesize the moving skin, adjust the details, and finally add sound effects...

Except for the work being cumbersome and detailed, consuming manual labor, the progress bar is always advancing bit by bit~

However, today, I encountered a problem!

"Does anyone know the sound of a Tyrannosaurus Rex running?!"

Masataka Komori stared at the screen at the moment the Tyrannosaurus Rex appeared. On the screen, the water in the water cup was trembling,

"It needs to be full of oppressive power, the feeling of hearing the sound before seeing the person..."

"Can't we use an elephant's?", "How about a giraffe!", "A rhinoceros, a rhinoceros is the most solid!", "Refer to the appearance of the little monsters in Ultraman!", "The appearance of the little monsters in Ultraman is biu-biu-biu", "..."

Everyone was discussing in a jumble, while Naoki Nagayama, who made the final decision, was thinking silently...

"Why not synthesize it with other sounds?!"

"It needs to be heavy, but not too rigid... using a hammer to hit the ground definitely won't work!"

"Try smashing a cement pier on the ground!"

"It might be too crisp..."

"Then try a wooden stake... and finally synthesize it with other sounds."

"..."

Thus, another stumbling block on the road of editing was moved away! The progress bar advanced by another one-thousandth~

During the lunch break, Naoki Nagayama also returned to the office on the top floor; after all, he is the boss, and he always has privileges!

"Naoki-san!"

Otomo Yoshimura walked in with great interest, holding a record in his hand,

"Come and listen, this is a demo tape I just got from Daotian Yamin-kun!"

"??"

Naoki Nagayama was a bit curious,

"Whose is it?"

"It's Maki Ohguro, the grand champion of the second season of 'Voice of Neon'!"

Otomo Yoshimura sighed with emotion,

"Originally, Naoki-san's songs should be produced by Naoki-san himself, but it's a pity you're busy now~"

"Ah... Maki Ohguro, huh!"

Naoki Nagayama nodded. Now, it's very good for him to write a song for a newcomer. If he wants him to personally serve as the producer of the record, that must be someone special.

He had some interest in Izumi Sakai before; after all, she was someone he was very familiar with in his previous life. But now, Maki Ohguro seems to only have one representative work he is familiar with, so there was no need for him to take action personally.

As the top level of Tree Friend, Naoki Nagayama's office is fully equipped; computers, televisions, projectors, and so on are all the best on the market.

Otomo Yoshimura put the record into the player and then pressed the play button...

The rapid drum beats of the drum kit instantly grabbed the listener's ears, and then they heard Maki Ohguro's explosive singing voice:

"......

Anata dake mitsumeteru (I only gaze at you)

Deatta hi kara ima demo zutto

(From the day we met until now)

Anata sae soba ni ireba hoka ni nani mo iranai

(As long as you are by my side, I don't need anything else)

......"

In just an instant, Naoki Nagayama seemed to have returned to that youthful era of chasing basketball once again, in the bright summer sunshine, wantonly shedding sweat on the court...

Such a fast-paced song made Naoki Nagayama's heartbeat accelerate again, and his eyes were also full of nostalgia~

"This kind of song always makes people want to exercise!"

Otomo Yoshimura was shaking his head while listening to the song,

"Sure enough, Maki Ohguro is very suitable for this song! Naoki-san is truly amazing!"

"Haha, it's just a coincidence~"

Naoki Nagayama smiled and waved his hand, then turned to ask,

"How is Maki Ohguro in the agency? Is she adapting?"

"Hai, she also moved into the artist apartment."

The artist apartment Otomo Yoshimura mentioned is the high-standard dormitory prepared by Tree Friend for artists, known in the industry as Tree Friend's girls' apartment,

"And because Maki Ohguro has a very good singing voice, there's no need to take professional music lessons; she can prepare for her debut directly..."

"Just in time to catch the heat of 'Voice of Neon'!"

Hearing this situation, Naoki Nagayama was also quite satisfied.

Currently, the artists under Tree Friend developing toward professional singers already include Yutaka Ozaki, Kazumasa Oda, Izumi Sakai, and Maki Ohguro, which can be considered very comprehensive.

These artists are basically creative artists; maybe in the future, the top few on the Neon music charts will all be people from Tree Friend!

"Naoki-san... do you have any opinions on Maki Ohguro's debut?"

"Hmm, Daotian Yamin-kun is already very skilled in this aspect, I'm very relieved!"

Looking at the record Otomo Yoshimura took out of the player, Naoki Nagayama's heart moved,

"By the way, the 'Slam Dunk' animation will also be rebroadcast this year... let's use this song as the ending theme then!"

"Then... what about the one by Izumi Sakai?"

"Hahaha, a new year always needs a change... Izumi-chan shouldn't need to rely on animation to increase exposure now!"

"..."

This is not necessarily true. Naoki-san definitely doesn't know the influence of the 'Slam Dunk' ending theme among teenagers!

Previously, Izumi Sakai's 'my friend' was popular for a while, and much of it was thanks to the animation~

"Okay, I will notify them!"

Otomo Yoshimura didn't say much in the end; the animation department is fully responsible to Naoki Nagayama, and he can use whatever he wants.

Akina, who is quietly recuperating in the Shanying Garden, listens to music every day, makes clothes for Hua-chan and the future baby, looks at the flower beds in the courtyard, and feeds the koi in the pond... life couldn't be more comfortable.

Since the New Year, she has completely retired from the entertainment industry, especially after knowing that the one in her belly is a boy; she hasn't even participated in human-relationship announcements for Fuji TV or TBS.

However, today, guests came to Shanying Garden; He Jianhe brought Yukiko Okada to visit~

"Hua-chan..."

Yukiko Okada held little Xia Hua, liking her so much in her eyes,

"Look at this little face, it's looking more and more like Akina! The eyes look like Naoki-san's... but both are very cute!"

"Hee hee hee..."

The little one was held in the arms of a beautiful sister and praised, and she was also very happy, laughing non-stop~

And not far away, He Jianhe saw this cute scene, and his heart was also a bit envious that Naoki Nagayama had such a cute daughter, but he didn't go to tease the child now.

Coming to Shanying Garden today was mainly for the agency's account statements...

"Akina-chan, the agency is currently producing the financial report... regarding your shareholder dividends, it can only be distributed at the shareholders' meeting after the final financial report comes out, but your other sales shares have already been calculated... they will be remitted to your company's name..."

Last year, her record sales exceeded 5 billion, completely surpassing the hottest Safety Zone, firmly occupying the first place on the total record sales chart, but the dividend as a singer was only over 200 million... and this was with a relatively high dividend ratio.

From this, one can see the extent to which artists in Neon are exploited by agencies~

Fortunately, she became a shareholder of Ken-On directly at the beginning, otherwise, she would be working for the agency for a lifetime!

Akina carefully browsed the accounts; she naturally values her income very much; after all, she debuted to earn money to support her family.

Even if her income is just a drop in the bucket compared to Naoki Nagayama's, that is her own money after all!

"Hai..."

Akina nodded and put the document away. She is just looking at it once now, and later she will naturally ask an accountant to confirm it,

"Arigato, He Jian-san even made a special trip to the house..."

"That's nothing!"

He Jianhe shook his head,

"Anyway, Yukiko-chan said she wanted to come and visit, so we just came together..."

Among the agency presidents in Neon, He Jianhe is relatively close to the artists... before, when she was still in love with Naoki-san, sometimes she would ask him to help cover for her~

"Haha, I thank you on behalf of Yukiko-chan~"

The two smiled at each other for a while and chatted about the current situation of Ken-On.

Yukiko Okada walked over at this time:

"Akina-chan, do you really not want to sing any new songs this year?"

"Hmm..."

Akina thought about it,

"It's not that absolute... I've been listening to music at home during this time, so I've had some strange ideas..."

"I want to try some relatively special styles... but I won't be in such a hurry."

He Jianhe nodded repeatedly:

"Mm-hmm, any style is fine... as long as Akina needs it, I can pull Tanaka Ryomei and the others to Shanying Garden!"

Anyway, there is a recording studio in Shanying Garden~

"Haha, that would be too hard for Ryomei-san!"

Akina said with a smile, then looked at Yukiko Okada,

"What about Yukiko-chan this year? Is it still constant sweet songs? That means you have to keep confronting Seiko-chan~"

Yukiko Okada's own conditions are here; there is no way to take a rebellious style, so she can only fight Seiko Matsuda on one line.

But fortunately, Seiko Matsuda is older, and she can't compare to Yukiko when it comes to acting young~

"There's no way... I also want to break through, but I have no direction."

"Have you considered participating in TV dramas or movies?! Being an actor..."

Akina suddenly suggested,

"I encountered a bottleneck on the music path back then, and then I participated in 'Love Letter'!"

"......."

He Jianhe silently complained in his heart, Akina, who do you think has resources like yours?!

Can anyone encounter a masterpiece like 'Love Letter'?! Not to mention sending a 'Snow Flower' that is still sung today!

Good resources in the entertainment industry are snatched by many veteran actors. Yukiko Okada doesn't have a lover like you, Akina-chan, who can be a director and create theme songs!

Yukiko Okada also sighed:

"I might not know how to act..."

Akina waved her hand to comfort her:

"It doesn't matter, when I was acting in 'Love Letter', I didn't know how to act either! The important thing is to try and step out of your comfort zone!"

"......."

He Jianhe complained in his heart again... The heroine of 'Love Letter' was originally required to be green and have a crush on the hero~

And the hero back then was Naoki Nagayama... The look in your eyes when you looked at Naoki Nagayama back then was truly a look of love and affection; you didn't need to act at all!

"Yukiko-chan might not be able to get such a good script!"

He Jianhe interjected,

"We at Ken-On don't have that many resources in the entertainment industry! So she might try being a guest in some long-running sequels first..."

Just like '3rd Year B Class Kinpachi-sensei', or 'Ultraman', and so on, let the audience get familiar with her first...

"But I have them here!"

Seeing the embarrassed look of the original president and friend, Akina suddenly spoke.

Her own husband is a big shot in the entertainment industry. If the couple is one, she is also considered a big resource player!

"If Yukiko-chan wants to, I can help look for one..."

Hearing this, Yukiko Okada was still a bit embarrassed, but He Jianhe thanked her with a thick skin first:

"That would be great... we are all worrying about how to let Yukiko-chan break through her current popularity! The entertainment industry is indeed a very good choice..."

"Arigato..."

Yukiko Okada also thanked her.

She originally just wanted to come and visit Akina today, but she didn't expect to get benefits...

In the evening, Naoki Nagayama and Akina finished dinner and walked in the courtyard to digest, and little Xia Hua also chased Ying Taro to pull his tail~

"Naoki-san..."

Akina told Naoki Nagayama about the visit of He Jianhe and Yukiko Okada during the day,

"Yukiko-chan wants to break through her bottleneck. Do you have any acquaintances you can introduce?!"

"Yukiko-chan, huh..."

If it were someone else, Naoki Nagayama would directly ask Otomo-san if there were any projects where a role could be inserted.

However, Yukiko Okada is his acquaintance after all, and he helped her escape the fate of suicide before... so he felt he couldn't just be casual.

Thinking of Yukiko Okada's sweet, pure, and cute appearance, he suddenly thought:

"No need to look for others... if Tree Friend Film has a new year, it will be filming 'Full House'..."

"Yukiko-chan's image is very suitable for the heroine!"

"??" Akina was a bit surprised, "'Full House'? Is it already going to be filmed?!"

"Yeah, there has been a plan for a long time! It will be broadcast on Fuji TV..."

Naoki Nagayama nodded. Anyway, it's his own novel, and the copyright is in his hands; he can film it whenever he wants!

Moreover, this TV drama has already been promised to Xu Mudao! As a reward for him becoming a secret spy for Tree Friend!

"This... is this okay?!"

Even Akina, who doesn't have a deep understanding of the entertainment industry, knows how famous Fuji TV's "Moon Nine Drama" is...

'Love Generation', 'Tokyo Love Story', 'Long Vacation'... "Moon Nine Drama" has almost become synonymous with hit TV dramas!

It can be said that as long as the news is released, artists in the entire entertainment industry want to snatch roles in the new drama!

Akina just wanted to find a high-quality script for Yukiko Okada to try, she didn't want something this big!

"Will there be complaints from Tree Friend if this TV drama is handed over to an artist from Ken-On?!"

"Ha! You don't need to worry about this!"

Naoki Nagayama shook his head,

"The casting of our previous TV dramas has always had only one principle... is it suitable for the role!"

"Only in this way can we produce the most excellent TV dramas... and only then can the audience's acceptance be so high!"

"Instead of just giving it to artists under our own banner..."

Why is the quality of TV dramas getting worse and worse in the future? It's all because all kinds of resource players and second-generation stars occupy the roles... the producers no longer pursue the quality of the TV drama itself~

Hearing this, Akina's worry in her heart was slightly put down...

Then she became curious again:

"What about the hero of 'Full House'? Who was chosen?"

You know, when the novel 'Full House' came out, many readers thought it was a story about Naoki Nagayama and her... it's just that the roles were swapped...

"It's not confirmed yet! The project hasn't even been established!"

Naoki Nagayama shook his head,

"But the hero must be a relatively famous young male artist..."

"A male idol?"

Figures of various male idols flashed through Akina's mind... then she turned to look at her husband beside her...

If Naoki-san goes to act, it seems very suitable... but if that's the case, wouldn't he have to act as a couple with Yukiko-chan?!

Thinking of this, Akina immediately opposed it!!

"No, no!"

"??" Naoki Nagayama was a bit confused, "Which male idol is not okay?!"

"Ah..."

Akina covered it up,

"Someone too old is not okay..."

"Hmm, that's true... so it can't be an outdated male idol~"

Naoki Nagayama's thoughts also drifted to the male idols. Now it seems there aren't many new and outstanding male idols coming up... Johnny's side seems to have suffered a setback~

After thinking for a long time, there was still no confirmed candidate. Naoki Nagayama shook his head:

"Forget it, I won't think about it. Let the director of 'Full House' worry about this!"

Akina heard this and asked with some doubt:

"Naoki-san isn't directing? Then who is the director?"

"It's Xu Mudao!"

"Who?!"

"......."

They have already participated in the cherry blossom viewing party so many times, has Xu Mudao still not been remembered by the mistress of the house... Naoki Nagayama sighed:

"The one wearing a gold Rolex!"

"Ah!!! It's him!"

Akina covered her mouth,

"He is actually a director!"

"......."
