Chapter 1355: Playboy little Masaharu? Tree Friend's inheritance?!

Masaharu Fukuyama has been a bit troubled recently.

Originally, as a red-hot star, his popularity soared, almost comparable to a first-line famous idol. If he wanted to transition, it could be said to be very smooth... Maybe he could compete with the current popular Shonentai and Hikaru Genji for the male idol ranking~

However, after listening to the company's arrangement, he still decided to focus on acting and

It's just that...

Ever since he was chosen to be the male lead of "Full House," the wind in the entertainment industry regarding him began to turn a bit strange, and then, after he recently shot the cover for the novel "I'm Sorry, I Love You," his reputation became even more skewed...

"Isn't he a couple with Chikako Aoyama?!" "How did he get involved with Yukiko Okada again?!" "And that pretty model... it seems like things are unclear there too!" "In the same phase, that's already three!" "..."

It is very easy for the male and female leads of a romance drama to be paired up; this is originally a very common thing in the industry... Some production crews even deliberately stir up such scandals just to increase heat and exposure.

But... he, Masaharu Fuyama, has only appeared in his first production!!

The other two female leads haven't even started collaborating with him yet!!

How did he start being forcibly paired up and discussed by the audience?! And strange scandals even broke out!!

"Do you know? Masaharu Fuyama's style reminds me of someone when they first became famous!"

"Who?"

"Naoki Nagayama... Didn't he play a couple with Kanako Higuchi when he first started?!"

"Yeah, yeah..." "Then it was Yuko Tanaka!" "And then Mieko Harada..." "Now that you mention it, it really is very similar! I mean in terms of style!"

"..."

"Before he started dating Akina Mori, he had scandals with every actress he collaborated with!"

"Relying on a good-looking skin of a refined scoundrel..." "But then he didn't admit to any of them..." "Toying with the feelings of female artists!"

The reason has been found; it's Naoki Nagayama's fault!!!

When Naoki Nagayama first debuted, he was paired up with Kanako Higuchi because of a romance commercial, and then in "Tales of the Unusual," "Convenience Store Robbery Incident," and "Boys Over Flowers," he had scandals with other female leads again...

So, the rise of Tree Friend is carrying the original sin of scandal!!!

In the past, the ones carrying the heavy burden in TV dramas and movies for Tree Friend were female artists and female idols, so there were no explosions, but now that Masaharu Fuyama is going to take on the heavy burden as a male actor, this original sin has fallen onto his head!!

"I see Masaharu Fuyama has a trend in this direction!" "Yeah, there are already three now!"

"They are all Tree Friend's, could it be inherited?! There is this gene at the root!"

"Little Playboy Naoki? No, no, it should be Playboy Masaharu!"

"No... Scumbag Fuyama is more like it!" "Playboy Masaharu VS Scumbag Fuyama... pick a title!"

"..."

Unknowingly, he was labeled as a playboy, making it hard for him to explain himself!!

"Mr. Iwai..."

All his helplessness, Masaharu Fuyama could only pour out to his manager,

"It's clearly something I haven't done, why does everyone see me this way?!"

And at this time, his manager, Masago Iwai, didn't care about these gossip rumors circulating in the streets at all; instead, he was thinking about adding fuel to the fire for the media he was familiar with, to make Masaharu Fuyama's popularity even higher!

"Mr. Fuyama... as an artist, being discussed is very normal!"

Masago Iwai comforted him,

"Even a big shot like Mr. Naoki had scandals all over him when he first debuted!"

"...... Comparing me with Mr. Naoki, Mr. Iwai, don't lead yourself astray!"

"Hahaha, it is a bit similar to begin with... both handsome and talented!"

Besides acting, Masaharu Fuyama is indeed talented in music; the company is already preparing to release a record for him!

"And scandals aren't groundless; you are indeed in contact with several female leads!"

"But I am not dating them!! And there is no ambiguity!"

Masaharu Fuyama retorted,

"Purely colleagues, a working relationship!"

"Hehehe..." Masago Iwai rolled his eyes, "Have you kissed Chikako Aoyama?!"

"This..."

Masaharu Fuyama was speechless for a moment,

"That was acting!"

"Anyway, you kissed! And it was the kind that happened many times!"

Masago Iwai shook his head and explained,

"In the life of ordinary people, kissing many times is an act that only happens between lovers in a passionate relationship!!!"

"This!!!"

Faced with this iron-clad fact, Masaharu Fuyama could not refute it.

However, Masago Iwai hadn't finished speaking:

"In the upcoming 'Full House,' you will also kiss Yukiko Okada, right?!"

"I..."

Indeed, it was already written in the script!

"After that, in 'I'm Sorry, I Love You'... you will also kiss Rie Miyazawa, right?!"

"..."

Masaharu Fuyama was speechless...

"In the life of ordinary people, kissing several very beautiful girls in a row, and then not taking responsibility for them... in a secular sense, that's a scumbag, right?!"

Masago Iwai's eyes also revealed a sense of envy at this moment,

"Damn it, it's enough to make people jealous! What's wrong with calling you a playboy or a scumbag?! What's wrong with letting people scold you and discuss you to vent their anger?!"

"..."

Masaharu Fuyama was confused by the turn of events,

"Wait a minute, Mr. Iwai, your logic always feels like something is wrong!!! But I can't say what's wrong for a moment..."

"Alright, alright!"

Masago Iwai directly pulled the made-up Masaharu Fuyama into the car and drove towards Minato City,

"You don't need to worry about these troublesome things; Tree Friend's publicity department will handle it... For now, you just need to focus on the filming of 'Full House'!"

"Uh... yes!"

In Azabu-Juban, Minato City, in the garden of a detached house with a not-so-small footprint.

Quite a few people had already gathered in the garden, roughly divided into several different identities... artists, Shinto priests, managers, crew members, media reporters...

Today, the opening ceremony for "Full House" is about to take place here!

"Mr. Kijima..."

Susumu Ishikawa of the publicity department asked,

"Why are you in such a hurry this time? The opening prayer ceremony has to be held within a few days?!"

It was only just confirmed who the male and female leads were and the filming location, yet it's actually starting in late February!

You have to know, finding so many reporters in a short time is also very troublesome~ and the subsequent publicity and such, all have to be done in advance!

"Ishikawa!"

Kijima Xu, who was dressed somewhat unconventionally, explained,

"You don't understand Mr. Naoki!"

"?"

"'Jurassic Park' has already been edited for the most part, and the final publicity will start in early March!"

Kijima Xu slowly explained the reason,

"Then, according to my understanding of Mr. Naoki, the whole of March will be the world of 'Jurassic Park'! Whether it's newspapers or television, the whole of Nihon will be full of hot topics about 'Jurassic Park'..."

"If 'Full House' waits until then to start publicity, it's very likely that we won't be able to grab any exposure at all!"

"..." Susumu Ishikawa was a bit speechless, "It's not that exaggerated, right?!"

He didn't think that in the ever-changing entertainment industry, there was any hot topic that could last for a whole month~

"You must not underestimate Mr. Naoki!"

Kijima Xu's voice lowered, and he leaned closer to him and said,

"Yesterday, when the editing room was free, Mr. Naoki said that he wanted to invite Michael Jackson to shoot a promotional short film!"

"!!! Michael Jackson?!"

Susumu Ishikawa's eyes widened,

"Isn't he on a world tour?!"

"Squeeze in time, squeeze in time!"

"Mr. Naoki actually has such a good relationship with Michael Jackson?!"

"Otherwise, how could he let Ms. Akina perform on the same stage with him..."

In the conversation between the two, Susumu Ishikawa's level of deification of Naoki Nagayama continued to soar; now he also believes that March will become Naoki Nagayama's month!

And at this time, the two leads, Yukiko Okada and Masaharu Fuyama, had already arrived, and the preparations for the prayer ceremony had been completed; the one-eyed shaman Toshio Matsuzaki had already put on his ritual robes, just waiting for the auspicious time.

The invited reporters were restless, preparing to record this key scene and then concoct another hot news story... The latest Monday 9 drama jointly produced by Fuji TV and Tree Friend, this is something the audience has been looking forward to for a long time!

"If it's a prayer, why isn't it a Shinto priest from a shrine?"

Yukiko Okada was collaborating with Tree Friend for the first time, and she was very curious looking at the strange shaman in front,

"The Atago Shrine in Minato City is very famous!"

And Masaharu Fuyama, who was also in the front row, took on the heavy responsibility of introducing it at this time:

"This is Tree Friend's unwritten rule... It seems that for the prayer ceremony, we must invite a special shrine..."

"Eh? Why?"

Yukiko Okada blinked her clear eyes and looked at Masaharu Fuyama next to her...

"I heard that since Tree Friend's first movie, they have always invited that one... It used to be an elderly shamaness, now it has been replaced by her apprentice..."

As an artist under Tree Friend, Masaharu Fuyama is still very knowledgeable about these strange anecdotes,

"It is said to be very effective, blessing all of Tree Friend's movie and TV drama projects to be big hits or have high ratings..."

"Now that shamaness has gone from being worshipped in her original home to becoming a shrine... It is very famous in the entertainment industry; it is said that crews filming at the Ota City production base will all invite them..."

"..."

The stories, one after another, left Yukiko Okada stunned.

Nihon people have always been very superstitious and must be very respectful of such effective shrines, and she even thought about finding her way there to pay respects in the future.

In the exchange between the two, the prayer ceremony had already begun...

I saw the one-eyed shaman Toshio Matsuzaki seem to be possessed by something, starting to take messy steps, chanting spells that no one could understand, and starting to dance the great god before the altar.

The colorful ritual robes danced into a ball under the frantic steps; at this time, a gust of wind blew, and in the smoke of the incense, there was an indescribable sense of mystery... It seemed that he had really made contact with an unknown deity, praying for the smooth filming of the new drama!

"...... It seems, there really is something to it..."

Susumu Ishikawa was participating in the prayer ceremony for the first time, and at this moment, he was also slightly shocked!

Ten minutes later, when the one-eyed shaman Toshio Matsuzaki finally rang the ritual bell with a "ding-a-ling," he was sweating profusely and exhausted, and only then did he invite Kijima Xu to step forward and offer incense~

However, Kijima Xu called the two of them at this time:

"Mr. Fuyama, Yukiko-chan, you are the leads, come and offer incense together!"

"Ah?... Yes!!"

After a moment of hesitation, Masaharu Fuyama and Yukiko Okada hurried up, and after bowing several times, they inserted the lit incense into the incense burner...

"Mr. Fuyama, may I ask if you and Yukiko-chan knew each other before?!" "Is this your first collaboration?" "..."

In the courtyard, the crew held a simple media meeting... However, due to Kijima Xu's characteristics, the media reporters' questions were concentrated on the male and female leads!

"Uh... I can't say we didn't know each other..."

Masaharu Fuyama explained with a smile,

"In the entertainment industry, there are so many activities, we have always met a few times, and we have greeted each other... but there was no in-depth communication."

"You could say... familiar strangers!"

The reporters recorded it with satisfaction:

"Masaharu Fuyama and Yukiko Okada have long been in contact, but due to special reasons, the relationship has not developed further..."

Then they asked the female lead:

"Then, Ms. Yukiko Okada, what is your impression of Masaharu Fuyama?"

"Mr. Fuyama... is a very handsome and gentle person... he just introduced many things to me!"

Yukiko Okada had a smile on her face,

"I hope to learn more during this collaboration..."

The reporter hurriedly wrote down: "Yukiko Okada felt that Masaharu Fuyama was very handsome at first sight... After contact, she found that Masaharu Fuyama was very kind... looking forward to further mutual understanding between the two"...

In short, it was through such questions that the media reporters had already woven a romantic love story of love at first sight for the two!

However, in this story, naturally, there is no shortage of an impressive ex!

"Mr. Fuyama... may I ask if you are still dating Chikako Aoyama?!"

"..."

Masaharu Fuyama's temples grew black lines,

"Ms. Chikako Aoyama is a senior I respect very much; we are good friends, but we are not dating!"

"....... Masaharu Fuyama is no longer dating Chikako Aoyama..."

The reporter hurriedly added a note to Masaharu Fuyama's previous relationship,

"However, both parties are still good friends!"

"..."

Entertainment... scandals... the entertainment industry is just like this!

However, Kijima Xu on the side had a dark face at this time; as a director, were there really no reporters who wanted to ask him questions?!

You have to know that he had specially styled his hair today, wore a gold Rolex, and was wearing the clothing of the Bamboo Clan!!

Fortunately, Susumu Ishikawa had already arranged for a plant!

"May I ask Director Kijima, why did you choose this western-style house located in Minato City?!"

A reporter finally threw the question to Kijima Xu,

"Is the luxury villa in 'Full House' this one?!"

"Yes! You've hit the nail on the head!"

Kijima Xu had a smile on his face,

"We chose this western-style house after repeated selection! It combines Eastern and Western architectural culture..."

Although he just found it directly from Keiko Fujita, it doesn't hinder Kijima Xu from blowing it up a bit!

Besides, this western-style house is indeed luxurious and extravagant, and the garden courtyard outside is also very beautiful... and it is located in a prosperous area like Azabu-Juban...

"In short, except for Shanying Yuan, there is no place more suitable than here!"

A voice was a bit confused:

"Shanying Yuan?"

"Hmm, that's Mr. Naoki's home!"

Kijima Xu, immersed in telling the story, said it without defense,

"It's right at..."

Halfway through, he suddenly woke up and instructed the reporters:

"This sentence just now cannot be reported!!!"

Seeing that the reporters still didn't understand, he hurriedly said:

"It concerns the privacy of Tree Friend's chairman... If it's reported, Tree Friend's legal department will come looking for you!"

"..."

Susumu Ishikawa on the side hurriedly pulled him away, and then personally communicated with the reporters present, asking everyone not to report on Shanying Yuan...

In fact, many senior reporters in the media circle know where Shanying Yuan is, but no one dares to be bold enough to report on it or sneak photos of it... The previous lesson of the monk must be taken carefully!

In the end, Kijima Xu stood in front of the camera again:

"So, the opening ceremony of 'Full House' is successfully completed... Please look forward to the launch of this TV drama!"

This time it was a bit urgent; filming the house was considered the first frame of the footage!
