Chapter 149: I feel like a big light bulb

~7 min read 1,293 words

Naoki Nagayama let the waiter serve a cappuccino, took off his coat, and sat down.

"Akina-san, have you been training since the beginning of the year?"

"Actually, it started before the new year. At that time, they said they wanted to correct my teeth... I clearly liked that tiger tooth very much~"

Akina Nakamori started complaining, saying angrily.

"I didn't eat well during the new year, I could only watch others at home eating and drinking~"

"Hahaha, but it's the agency's requirement, so there's no other way~" Naoki Nagayama laughed. "Has Akina-san's debut date been decided?"

"Not yet~ It is estimated that it will take another month or two, first I have to finish the training~" She held her chin with both hands, looking very worried.

"Haha, is it that training that teaches you to always smile?"

"Yes, besides smiling, I have to keep the so-called business state all the time..." Akina said, adjusting her smile, turning into that kind of perfect smile that is friendly but not distant.

"Sugoi! Akina-san really has the feeling of an idol now~"

Naoki Nagayama felt that this smile was exactly the same as when he first saw Seiko Matsuda, friendly and cute, but lacking emotion, like a porcelain doll.

"Right~ I train by biting chopsticks every day, and I can't let go even if the corners of my mouth cramp~" Akina's little face collapsed, turning back into the little girl next door.

The two chatted familiarly as soon as they sat down, making Nobuo Tomioka on the side unable to even interject.

At the same time, Naoki Nagayama's dangerous level in Nobuo Tomioka's heart took a big step forward, reaching the level of a great demon king who destroys his own artist's idol career.

Naoki Nagayama also found that he seemed to have neglected the other party: "Ah, excuse me, I haven't seen Akina-san for a long time, so I chatted for a while~"

The new idol on the side also seemed to notice, quite embarrassed: "Excuse me~ Nobuo-san."

Then she said to Naoki: "Nobuo-san is a capable general of Akina's publicity department~"

"Akina's publicity department? That's amazing, hahaha~"

"No way~"

Seeing that the two were about to chat again, Nobuo Tomioka immediately interjected:

"Naoki-san, today I actually want to talk to you about the copyright of 'Second

Love'~"

"Hai, please say~"

"Then the lyrics and composition of this song are both Naoki-san himself, right?"

"Hai, that's right~"

"Then have you authorized other agencies? Or other third parties?"

"No authorization to others~"

... The subsequent process was no different from the song sold to Seiko Matsuda for the first time. Warner used the form of copyright buyout plus profit sharing to obtain the copyright of "Second

Love".

Sure enough, the consortium behind it is not short of money... For a newcomer, they also gave a buyout fee of 10 million, plus a 6% share of the lyrics and composition later~

Actually, Nobuo Tomioka originally wanted to lower the price, using reasons like the future is unclear, but for a song with such high completion, only waiting to be made into a record, he really couldn't go against his conscience.

Plus, their own idol Akina-chan was always helping with trouble, saying things like "excellent song", "will definitely be a big hit", "Warner's vision has always been very good", etc., and finally could only agree.

However, the consortium behind Yan Yin is indeed rich, and this cost is nothing.

After negotiating the sharing and other matters, both sides signed the contract happily.

At this time, Nobuo Tomioka wanted to take Akina Nakamori away, watching the two start chatting again, deeply afraid that Naoki Nagayama would have more influence on his own idol.

But according to Japanese practice, after signing the contract, you have to treat them to a meal, otherwise it would be really rude, and you would be scolded by the company's leadership for destroying the image and losing etiquette...

"Naoki-san, do you have any other plans next?"

Nobuo Tomioka silently said in his heart "It's best if you have, you are very busy, you have to do other important things"

"If not, please have dinner together~"

"That's really thank you, Nobuo-san!"

Looking at Naoki Nagayama's bright smile, Nobuo Tomioka really wanted to punch him.

Nobuo Tomioka is more familiar with this area, so he chose a century-old shop in Nihonbashi, "Ahigamo Ippin Toriyasu (Duck Cuisine Toriyasu)", which is a place specializing in duck dishes.

Little Akina was pulled into Nobuo Tomioka's car, while Naoki Nagayama followed in his car to the storefront.

Speaking of which, Naoki Nagayama has eaten chicken, fish, pork, venison, etc. many times in Japan, but he hasn't eaten much duck~

Hearing Nobuo Tomioka say that the duck in this shop has no fishy smell, and the duck made is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, I just don't know if it is the same as Beijing roast duck.

After entering the shop, I found that this is a shop with a relatively traditional izakaya style. The small dining table is only suitable for 3-5 people to drink in the shop. They came relatively early, but there were already many people in the shop.

"Akina-san, have you eaten here?" Naoki Nagayama asked Akina, who was sitting with Nobuo Tomioka opposite.

"I've eaten here a few times~"

"Eh, then what dishes are delicious?"

"Then you must recommend the duck sukiyaki set that Akina likes most. Naoki-san, let me tell you, the duck in this set is roasted on an iron plate..." Akina Nakamori started to talk endlessly as soon as she talked about delicious food.

Nobuo Tomioka looked at the two who were enthusiastically discussing the menu, feeling that he was like a big light bulb, unable to even interject.

However, as a capable general of Akina's publicity department, he must resolutely eliminate all factors unfavorable to Akina's career development!

First of all, start with this guy who looks like a playboy!

"Naoki-san, the yakitori here is also delicious!"

Akina Nakamori was still recommending, but Naoki Nagayama felt a chill. He looked up, but it was Nobuo Tomioka's friendly smile.

Is it an illusion?

"Naoki-san, do you want to order?" Little Akina's voice called him back to the menu.

"Then let's have one~"

Sure enough, it is a century-old shop. The heat of the barbecue is just right. The crispy and tender duck makes people unable to stop their mouths. The old duck soup is also rich in taste, making people have an aftertaste.

During the meal, Nobuo Tomioka inquired about Naoki Nagayama's situation in the past without a trace, as if just praising casually:

"Naoki-san is so talented, you must have been very popular when you were in school, right?"

How many girlfriends have you had? Playboy, show your true colors quickly!

"Hahaha, Nobuo-san is wrong~" Naoki Nagayama didn't notice the deep meaning of the question at all. "When I was in school, I was very dull, and basically had no friends~"

"Because I didn't talk at all, some people called me 'Dull Tree'~"

Akina Nakamori was surprised: "Is that so? I can't tell~ But children like to give people nicknames. When I was in middle school, some people called me 'Child of the Devil', 'Snake Girl'."

"Eh? Akina-san's personality is not very good? How could it be?"

"It's because the pronunciation of the name is very similar, and I belong to the snake..."

"That's really too much~"

"Yes, I cared about it very much at that time..."

Nobuo Tomioka had bitterness that he couldn't tell. He clearly wanted to know Naoki Nagayama's "Flower History".
