Chapter 280: All technique, no emotion!

~13 min read 2,578 words

The subsequent recording of the program fell into a brief chaos, and even a veteran host like Tamori couldn't quickly appease the discussion of the audience below the stage:

"Subarashii!" "It's really amazing!" "Learned it!" "I'll say this when chasing girls in the future!"

"Naoki-san is too handsome!" "If someone said this to me, I would definitely marry him on the spot!"

"If I had said that at that time, Mimi-chan definitely wouldn't have been with my good brother!"

"Naoki-sama, please teach me how to pick up girls!"

Eh? Wait, it seems like some incredible story got mixed in!

Nagayama Naoki listened to the discussion below the stage and sighed in his heart, this guy Wong Kar-wai really understands girls super well!

Look at Miyata Sanae next to him, her face is red now, and she doesn't even dare to look at Nagayama Naoki.

Tamori finally controlled the situation, sat on the chair, and made a wiping sweat action.

"Naoki-san, you really surprised us today. It's been a long time since I've seen such a lively scene."

"Haha, where, where, just a segment I thought of suddenly, didn't expect the effect to be so good."

Nagayama Naoki was humble in his mouth, but put on that "innocent" expression on his face again, as if he didn't know what he had just done at all.

Tamori glanced at Miyata Sanae, who was still distracted, and then turned back to look at Nagayama Naoki, who was playing dumb at the moment: "Sigh... if my Sanae-san dated Naoki-san, she would definitely be eaten by Naoki-san without even bones left..."

How to answer this? Nagayama Naoki could only smile awkwardly. He also came back to his senses. If this program is broadcast, the nickname "Playboy Naoki" will probably never be shaken off in this life~

Tamori immediately said, "By the way, Naoki-san is also considered a best-selling novelist, right? *Love Letter* is your masterpiece!"

"Eh?!"

The audience below the stage gasped. Many people had read the novel *Love Letter*, and even if they hadn't read it, they had heard of its fame.

"Hai, I didn't expect Tamori-san to know my humble work." Nagayama Naoki nodded in confirmation, which made the audience below the stage exclaim even more.

"*Love Letter* is really an excellent novel. Through letters, a shared emotion between the two was discovered, and the final relief is also very sigh-inducing." Tamori seemed to have read this novel and actually said the plot in it, "How are you? I am fine!"

"Arigato. I am very honored to be praised by Tamori-san."

Nagayama Naoki smiled and accepted the other party's praise, but didn't expect Tamori to change the subject:

"Being able to think of such an excellent plot, Naoki-san should have had very rich emotional experience from childhood to adulthood, right?"

"Uh... this, this... speaking of which, actually there is none!"

Nagayama Naoki said a bit awkwardly. In fact, in the previous 20 years, the dull Naoki really had no emotional experience.

After falling in love with Yamaguchi Momoe at the age of 14, he had always regarded Yamaguchi Momoe as his first love, so he was even less interested in the girls in junior high and high school...

And as for the emotions of the previous life, Tamori asked about this life, what does the previous life have to do with it!

"Eh?!

Hontou ni? Is Naoki-san still a virgin?"

This time, even Tamori was surprised with the audience. Many female audience members' eyes lit up? Including Miyata Sanae, who had come back to her senses, actually ran to the table curiously.

"Then how did you write such rich emotions?!"

Nagayama Naoki skipped the previous question directly: "Well, actually, writing stories relies entirely on technique, no emotion."

"Technique? What kind of technique, for example?"

"Well, I have studied many psychology books. For example, there is a psychological phenomenon called 'Pink Elephant'," Nagayama Naoki felt that he had started the path of fooling people again. "That is, for example, Tamori-san, close your eyes now and don't imagine a pink elephant."

Tamori-san obediently closed his eyes and opened them after a few seconds.

"Tamori-san, what did you think of?"

"Pink elephant..."

"Hai, this is a phenomenon in psychology. Applying it to screenwriting can write wonderful stories." Nagayama Naoki felt that his wit was very effective. The audience below the stage tried it one after another, occasionally exclaiming.

"Eh... it's really an interesting phenomenon." However, Tamori didn't mean to let him go. "But how to apply it to creation? For example, this 'pink elephant'?"

"Uh... this is, the more you don't let others think of something, the more the human brain will think of it..." Nagayama Naoki was speechless for a while, thinking about how to fool it, and happened to see Miyata Sanae who was curious beside him... "Sumimasen, let's use Sanae-san as a demonstration."

"Eh?! Me again?"

Miyata Sanae thought, if it weren't for you looking handsome, I would have already...

Forget it, who told you to look handsome...

"Hai~"

Agreed...

"For example, I say to others..." Nagayama Naoki looked at Miyata Sanae's eyes after she agreed: "Sanae-san, you will dream of me tonight!"

Miyata Sanae's complexion, which had just calmed down, turned red visibly!

This time she didn't even say a word, covered her face and ran off the stage!

The studio was stunned by this operation, and even Tamori-san couldn't speak for a long time, and then the buzzing started again, this time continuously, and even the staff joined the discussion.

Nagayama Naoki forgot the lethality of this kind of dialogue in this era. Seeing the little girl run off the stage, he reacted that it was a bit too much, but now he could only laugh dryly:

"Hehe... so if you don't want others to dream of you, others will have such thoughts in their minds... Look, it's all technique, completely no emotion..."

Actually, at this time, he only wanted to slap himself twice in his heart.

Tell you not to think before you act! Tell you to show off in front of people!

Tamori had more than ten years of hosting experience, and reacted immediately.

"In that case, Sanae-san will definitely dream of Naoki-san tonight?"

"Uh... not necessarily, hahahaha~" Nagayama Naoki could only use silly laughter to cover it up...

Tamori felt that Nagayama Naoki didn't come today to clarify the rumors, but to make the rumors come true! But he couldn't continue like this, otherwise this program would become a love variety show!

"Well, as for technique, I'm still a bit skeptical... However, through this small scene, I think everyone has fully recognized Nagayama Naoki's 'talent'. I am also interested in the love movie *A Scene at the Sea* that he wrote and directed himself!"

The program process finally returned to the theme. *Waratte Iitomo! * is a good promotional outlet for participating guests, which is also one of the factors why this program can be popular for so many years in the future.

"Currently, it can only be watched in art cinemas, right?"

"Hai, but there is already an idea to go to ordinary theaters, and it is already being negotiated recently."

"In that case, it should be seen at the end of the year."

"Hai~"

During the subsequent recording, Tamori also tightened up a bit. He found that if Nagayama Naoki was allowed to play, maybe today's assistant host would really be picked up on the spot.

Returning to the consistent funny humor, the order of the studio returned, and the audience laughed happily, but everyone knew that the previous plot was the biggest highlight of this program.

At 4 PM, the recording finally ended. Nagayama Naoki said goodbye to Tamori and Kamiyashiki Haruta, and fled the studio like an escape, as if he could still feel the two resentful eyes of Miyata Sanae.

"I will never go on a variety show again! This mouth of mine!

!"

Nagayama Naoki slapped his mouth twice. He usually has a tight mouth, why is he so casual under the camera? Is he a hidden performance personality?

In the Fuji TV building, Nagayama Naoki found Sugiura Taiyasu of the First Production Department and Xi Lumei on the side.

"Taiyasu-san, Xi Lumei-san!"

The two were not very surprised. Although the production bureau is very large, news related to their own programs can naturally reach their ears. They had long known that Nagayama Naoki was coming to record a variety show today:

"Naoki-san, is the program recorded?"

"Hai, just finished."

Xi Lumei asked curiously: "How does it feel to participate in *Waratte Iitomo! *? Tamori-san is an experienced host."

"Yes, during the recording, Tamori-san gave me a lot of guidance and help..." If it weren't for making me a little nervous with words, I probably wouldn't have come up with so many strange operations.

Sugiura Taiyasu stood up and helped pour a glass of warm water: "Hahaha, I really want to see Naoki-san's program effect. What day is it today?"

"It should be..." The program was recorded two days in advance. Today is actually only November 28th, but the program is based on the broadcast time.

"You will be able to see the effect then..." Xi Lumei turned the pen in her hand, looking like a swallow full of longing.

Hahaha, then you will be able to see my nickname "Playboy Naoki" being confirmed!

Nagayama Naoki only wanted to escape at this time and didn't want to discuss it anymore, so he changed the subject: "Taiyasu-san, how is the progress of the members of the *Boys Over Flowers* production committee?"

"Ah, the progress is still very smooth. Currently, in addition to our two companies, there are Pony Canyon that sells program DVDs, the advertising agency Dentsu, and others are luxury brands tasaki, Porter, Patek Philippe, etc. that are being negotiated..."

Sugiura Taiyasu said a lot in one breath. In addition to production companies and advertising companies, there are many luxury brands that Nagayama Naoki has never heard of, but looking at his envious expression, they should all be top-notch.

"It seems that we can prepare for filming soon."

"How is the casting on Naoki-san's side?"

"Ah, the Shonentai has been confirmed, but there is no good choice for another F4. If you want to play Hanazawa Rui, the current candidates always feel like something is missing..."

Nagayama Naoki actually always thought that Hanazawa Rui was the real male lead, a prince-like figure, but he couldn't compete with Domyouji Tsukasa?

Actually, it's because the author of the manga likes that kind of domineering president feeling!

Eh? Thinking about it this way, did the dog-blood plot of "Domineering President Falls in Love with Me" become popular in the 80s?!

Enduring, it's really amazing!

Xi Lumei nodded: "Indeed, it's really hard to find a suitable one for Hanazawa Rui..."

Nagayama Naoki came up with a way: "Taiyasu-san, Xi Lumei-san, if it really doesn't work, let's hold a casting meeting! Let each agency send the artists who want to fight for the role to try, but this needs to borrow the name of Fuji TV."

Sugiura Taiyasu didn't react much after hearing it, and promised calmly: "If there is no way, it can only be like this. Let's do it in December."

Indeed, it is very easy for a TV drama produced by the production bureau of Fuji TV to hold a casting meeting, and each agency will give face.

"Hai, then I'll trouble Taiyasu-san..."

After coming out of Fuji TV, Nagayama Naoki prepared to drive directly back to Shanying Yuan. Of course, he found a restaurant on the way to pack dinner.

Winter days always get dark quickly. When he got home, he couldn't see the specific scene clearly, and Shanying Yuan also became a looming shadow, but Nagayama Naoki felt relieved after seeing it.

Opening the remote control door of the garage, Ying Taro came over listening to the sound.

Seeing Nagayama Naoki getting off the car with a thermal box in his hand, the dog became even more excited, circling around the owner.

"Ying Taro, don't rub, lead the way."

When the lights of Shanying Yuan were lit again, in this small area of Chiyoda, it radiated the warmth belonging to Nagayama Naoki.

This time, he packed Chinese food. The recording in the afternoon made Nagayama Naoki's mood fluctuate, so he naturally needed better comfort. A crystal pork knuckle that was oily and smooth might be able to do it.

In addition to this hard dish, Nagayama Naoki only ordered a seasonal vegetable and seafood risotto.

Pulling off most of the meat of the crystal pork knuckle, and then giving the remaining bones and some meat to Ying Taro, Nagayama Naoki then enjoyed his dinner properly.

The crystal pork knuckle looked crystal clear, tasted fragrant, soft and fresh, and one bite was full of collagen, making people feel very satisfied...

It has to be said that the Chinese food that can come to Japan to open a restaurant in this era has a unique skill. This pork knuckle is greasy but not greasy, refreshing, and paired with fresh seasonal vegetables, making people have a great appetite.

The seafood risotto is naturally very delicious. As Tokyo is by the sea, the seafood is the freshest. The fragrant, soft and elastic seafood and the distinct rice grains have a rich taste and are chewy. At the same time, you can enjoy the fresh and sweet deliciousness of seafood and the fragrance of rice.

After one person and one dog were full, Nagayama Naoki made a cup of tea and sat on the sofa in the living room watching TV.

When watching a variety show, his heart moved. Today's situation, it seems he should tell Furuhura Otomo?

So he moved to the phone and dialed Furuhura Otomo's home phone.

"Moshi moshi, this is the Furuhura family." The one who answered the phone was Furuhura family's hostess Furuhura Yuxue.

"Yuxue-san, good evening. I am Nagayama Naoki."

"Ah, Naoki-san, good evening. Are you looking for Otomo for something?"

"Hai, there is something to say, sorry to bother you." After Nagayama Naoki said the reason, he heard a rustling sound from the microphone, and then Furuhura Otomo's voice came out.

"Moshi moshi, Naoki-san, is the variety show recording finished? Is it going well?"

"Hai, it has been recorded." Then a burst of sullen air in his heart, his tone was a bit resentful, "Didn't Otomo-san say there was a script?"

"Ah, is there no script on the program side? Hahaha, is that so? That's really unreasonable..." Nagayama Naoki didn't know if Furuhura Otomo was pretending to be stupid. Anyway, it sounded like he really didn't know.

"Forget it... anyway, it's already recorded." There is no point in caring anymore. "Otomo-san, I went to see Taiyasu-san on the way today. Regarding the casting of *Boys Over Flowers*, I plan to hold a casting meeting in December."

"Oh? Is that so?" Furuhura Otomo thought for a while. "Is it in the name of Fuji TV?"

"Yes~"

"Hai, then I understand."

Chatting for a while about casting matters, determining the standard for choosing roles, the rest is to organize a list after going to work.

Before hanging up the phone, Nagayama Naoki saw the variety show on TV, and his face changed a little:

"By the way, Otomo-san, on Monday, I won't go to the studio."

"Eh? Is there an arrangement?"

"...... Probably need to avoid the limelight......"
