Chapter 215: Add fire to the scandal!

Dazzling sunlight shone into the bedroom, and the whole room was shrouded in scattered light. If you look closely, you can even see flying fine dust in the light column.

Even in a dream, one can know that the sky is bright, but the guy covered with a thin quilt doesn't want to get up, until Eitaro jumped onto the bed and then woke Naoki Nagayama up.

"Alright, alright, Eitaro, I'm up! I'm up!"

After driving away the half-grown dog that was already 40 pounds, Naoki Nagayama started a day of life.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter now. Naoki Nagayama looked at the air conditioner in the room, thinking about cleaning it up in the past few days, maybe the summer will rely on it to continue life.

Simply used milk to soak a little oatmeal as breakfast, and also soaked dog food for Eitaro. The food for this person and dog is almost the same.

There were several newspapers on the table in the restaurant that were just taken from the door. Naoki Nagayama was browsing the morning news while scooping oatmeal with a spoon.

War news, economic analysis, national affairs, daily news, and finally entertainment gossip. When turning to the Tokyo Sports Newspaper, Naoki Nagayama had just sent a spoonful of oatmeal into his mouth, and then almost choked!

Today's entertainment newspaper actually put photos of Naoki Nagayama and his party's gathering on a page!

And it was the moment when Naoki Nagayama gave gifts to Kanako Higuchi and Nana Okada!

At the door of a small restaurant, Naoki Nagayama in a white shirt smiled and gave gifts to two beauties. The white book had the words "Love Letter" on it. Under the dim yellow light, the picture was actually a bit beautiful and ambiguous~

I have to say that this paparazzi's photo is quite good. Why don't you do art if you are so talented?

The title of this news article is called "Who is this 'Love Letter' sent to?", and the names of Naoki Nagayama and the other two female stars were marked, and even the gifts were thoughtfully enlarged, and the name of "Love Letter" was clearly displayed.

"What the hell!"

Naoki Nagayama read through the article. It was just rehashing his scandal with Kanako Higuchi from last year, and this time it had dragged Nana Okada into it as well, talking about topics like "suspected new flame" and who he was actually dating.

A rising male star, a well-known actress, a former top idol, plus the "Love Letter" that had scandals and was photographed before, made up a saliva article that looked attractive, but actually had no real evidence.

"Qi, are the entertainment articles of Tokyo Sports Newspaper so randomly put together? No wonder it doesn't reach the level of 'Weekly Bunshun'~"

However, ordinary entertainment newspapers might just be to attract eyeballs, and didn't think about digging into any content.

Thanks to the big-selling songs and movies, Naoki Nagayama is a public figure with a little fame. Although he has not participated in many announcements and interviews, resulting in his popularity not being as good as other idols and stars, he is also a person who "can be recognized" on the street.

He had expected to be photographed by paparazzi, but this time it was clearly just a normal dinner, why pull on new love and old love, why must every thing be related to scandals?

A bit depressed, he finished breakfast, Naoki Nagayama took Eitaro directly to the studio.

There were many fewer employees in the film crew. Shuichi Ido gave a long vacation to some people, and the rest were those who had tasks in editing or subsequent promotion.

"Naoki-san, good morning~" Masataka Komori, who was holding a videotape, smiled and greeted Naoki Nagayama, with a strange smile on his face, as if he had just known some gossip.

"Masataka-kun, morning." Naoki Nagayama already knew the reason and was not in the mood to explain anything.

Then there were Shuichi Ido and Yoshimura Otomo in the office, and that Tokyo Sports Newspaper was placed on the table between the two...

Yoshimura Otomo couldn't help laughing when he saw Naoki Nagayama coming:

"Naoki-san, there is another scandal, hahaha~"

Naoki Nagayama rolled his eyes: "It's fine for others to say it, don't you guys know the real situation?"

Who knew Shuichi Ido said: "We were drunk yesterday and didn't know what you did later..."

Hearing this, Naoki Nagayama said with a fake smile: "Ido-san, when we were drinking and guessing fingers yesterday, you lost 10,000 yen to me. Pay it back to me today!"

"What are you talking about? No such thing! Cheating my money? Think beautifully!" Shuichi Ido directly denied it four times.

However, Yoshimura Otomo is the minister of the brokerage firm after all, and he still put forward a solution:

"Hahaha, Naoki-san, do you want to clarify this scandal? Or find the newspaper office?"

However, Naoki Nagayama didn't agree after thinking for a while: "Let them go. When necessary, Otomo-san can also add fire. This kind of scandal is positive for me or Kanako-san or Nana-chan. The fermentation of the scandal is exactly conducive to the promotion of our movie. Oh, it is even conducive to the new promotion."

Before every movie and TV series is released, letting the leads hype up scandals is already a routine practice in the entertainment industry of later generations.

Yoshimura Otomo nodded. For this scandal, they didn't take it too seriously, because it was purely catching shadows.

"But I still have to communicate with Kanako-san and Nana-chan's office. Naoki-san, Ido-san, Junko Ito's record still has some work, so I will go to deal with it first."

Saying this, Yoshimura Otomo said hello to the two and went out.

Shuichi Ido saw that there was nothing else to do: "Naoki-san, let's start editing the movie."

"Hmm!"

Although there is a movie template that has been edited in the brain, the editing in this era is still very cumbersome and difficult.

Naoki Nagayama sits in command, chooses the clips he likes, and then Shuichi Ido and Masataka Komori start to cut the videotape with an editing table, and then stick it together with glue, and then check whether the connection is smooth through playback.

Yes, it is so primitive.

The integrated editing table is actually a kind of progress, which can see the picture and sound at the same time. If it was earlier, directors used scissors~

In the gap of work, seeing Naoki Nagayama picking clips without thinking, Masataka Komori couldn't help saying:

"Naoki-san's efficiency is really high, it seems like the whole movie is printed in his brain!"

Isn't it? Naoki Nagayama smiled: "Masataka-kun will slowly be like this in the future."

But Masataka Komori looked at the master on the side, a bit puzzled: "Ido-sensei, when you were a director before, did you also cut the film without thinking?"

Shuichi Ido didn't even look back: "Ah, yes, it's easy. This is the basic skill of a director. Masataka-kun, learn more and you will know!"

In fact, Shuichi Ido was scolding his mother in his heart. How can a director's editing be so fast? Naoki Nagayama is simply a monster!

In this era without special effects, generally, a 90-120 minute movie, just editing, takes 1-2 months, because it involves repeated thinking and polishing of lens language, plot, etc., but the existence of Naoki Nagayama makes time condense into 1-2 weeks.

Adjusting the time back a little, the brokerage firms in the entertainment industry are always very sensitive to entertainment gossip.

Early in the morning, Nana Okada's office also saw this report, so they called Nana Okada's agent to the office.

"Kenji-san, what is this report about?"

Akio Kenji looked at the newspaper on the table, a flash of helplessness in his eyes.

"Minister Shirakawa, this is completely groundless. That day, because the filming of the movie was over, we had a dinner together. The whole crew went."

"The paparazzi happened to take a photo of the moment we went out, and others were out of the picture at that time."

Minister Shirakawa tapped the table with his fingers.

"Is it not true?"

Since Nana Okada's popularity dropped significantly because of something, he, the minister, was also scolded by the president many times.

The cash cow of the office was damaged because of such a mistake by the staff. If it weren't for being a relative of the president, he might not be able to be the minister.

However, he has always believed in Nana Okada's potential.

And now that there is heat again, even if it is because of such a scandal, maybe it is an opportunity.

"Kenji-san, push it, add fire to this scandal."

"Eh?! Minister, do you really want to do this? Will it affect Nana-chan's reputation?"

"Anyway, it's already at the bottom, isn't it? How bad can it be?"

Akio Kenji sighed when he heard this: "Hai, I understand!"

Naoki Nagayama, who was busy all day, returned to Sanyingyuan in the evening with Eitaro.

After fixing dog food for Eitaro, he just ate something in a hurry as dinner.

People who watched the screen all day didn't even want to watch TV. They turned on the record player to play a blues record, and then closed their eyes and lay on the sofa.

Long-term editing is also a kind of damage to the eyes. No wonder directors like to wear sunglasses.

Just when Naoki Nagayama was drowsy and about to fall asleep, the phone next to him woke him up suddenly.

"Decided, must film Ringu!"

He was ruthless in his mouth, but he was calm when he answered the phone:

"Moshi moshi, this is Sanyingyuan."

"Nii-chan! Have you eaten dinner?" It was actually Tsuruko? However, this style of caring about life and living is not like her?

Naoki Nagayama hesitated and said: "Dinner was just eaten... but Tsuruko, why did you suddenly ask such a strange question?"

"What strange question?" Tsuruko's tone was full of dissatisfaction. "Isn't it normal for a sister at home to care about a brother who works outside?"

"Hehe, alright, but one thing first, no borrowing money!"

The voice of madness came from the opposite side of the microphone: "Who wants to borrow money from you!!! Baka!"

"Then there is no reason to be diligent, what's the matter?"

Nagayama Tsuruko paused, then lowered her voice: "Is Nii-chan really in love?"

Is it the scandal again? Speaking of which, is the influence of Tokyo Sports Newspaper so great that it even reached Shizuoka?

"... Tsuruko... don't you know that everything in Tokyo Sports Newspaper is fake except for the date?" Naoki Nagayama was speechless. "Children don't watch entertainment gossip all day!"

"Hehehe, just ask~" Tsuruko laughed for a while, and then asked again. "By the way, Nii-chan, what book is "Love Letter"? I wanted to buy it today, but I didn't find it in the bookstore!"

"Ah... it should not be officially sold yet. You don't need to buy it. I have already mailed you a few copies." Counting the time, it should be when it is being transported to various places. It is estimated that it will be seen in bookstores after next week.

"Eh? You don't have it for sale, how can you have it?" Tsuruko was stunned, and then suddenly knew. "Is this Nii-chan's new book?! Did Nii-chan write another one?!"

Listening to the volume in the microphone suddenly increasing, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but take his ears away.

"Hai, it was just written a while ago."

"Nii-chan actually wrote it again?!"

"... Didn't you just ask?"

"Okaasan! Nii-chan wrote another one!" Tsuruko in the microphone used a big move, summoning her mother.

So the phone call turned into the mother and daughter's questioning. When Naoki Nagayama finally hung up the phone, it was already 9 o'clock.

Thinking that he still has to work tomorrow, Naoki Nagayama dragged Eitaro, who didn't want to sleep, back to the bedroom~

Earlier in the day, Akina Mori was making up for sleep in the driving car.

It was 3 o'clock in the morning again to go to Mito City to shoot outdoor magazines on the beach. It was hard to shoot when the light was good in the morning, and then rushed back to Tokyo in a hurry. There was a TV station program to record in the afternoon.

"Kenji-san, how long until Tokyo?" Akina Mori in the back row woke up. It was hard to sleep well in a driving sedan.

Agent Hatanaka Kenji estimated the distance: "It is estimated to be about two hours."

"Akina-san, after arriving at the TV station, you have to go on the show, maybe there is no time for lunch."

"Daijoubu, not too hungry, just a few rice balls."

Akina Mori, who couldn't sleep, wanted to read fashion magazines to kill time, but her eyes skimmed the newspaper on the passenger seat, and there seemed to be a familiar picture.

"Kenji-san, is that today's newspaper?"

"Ah, yes, I bought it when shooting photos." Hatanaka Kenji reached out and handed the newspaper to the idol in the back row.

When the artist is shooting, the agent is relatively free, so he bought a newspaper to read.

"There is another revelation. By the way, Akina-san should know Naoki Nagayama, right?"

Hatanaka Kenji is an agent recently arranged by Burning Productions, so he doesn't know much about Akina Mori's past.

"It seems to be a date between Naoki Nagayama and two female stars."

"Not a date!" In a short time, it was enough for Akina Mori to browse the full text. "This report is completely nonsense! Cold rice that is outdated, something synthesized by a photo!"

"Eh? Is that so? But it seems to have a nose and eyes."

Akina Mori hummed and didn't continue, but looked at the photo in the newspaper and was a bit stunned.
