Chapter 283: That guy, why?!

Sitting in the Toyota Crown of manager Matsuzawa Masayoshi, Kondo Masahiko's face was unhappy, and his tone was quite dissatisfied.

"Why do I have to participate in any casting meeting? Clearly, those three guys from Shonentai can just give it up."

Matsuzawa Masayoshi sighed in his heart. That's because others didn't like you~

However, he, who fully understood the personality of this idol, didn't foolishly say it: "On one hand, Fuji TV thinks the three people of Shonentai are suitable for the role; on the other hand, it may be that they don't know about Masahiko-san's schedule..."

Anyway, saying so is almost enough to appease him.

"Kuso! Why didn't Mary-san help get the role directly!" Relying on Kitagawa Mary's love for himself, Kondo Masahiko complained in the car.

And Matsuzawa Masayoshi, who was sitting in the front row, wisely closed his mouth. That is because this is a project led by the production bureau of Fuji TV! Even if it is Johnny's agency, it is impossible to offend people for the sake of an idol like you. Besides, people originally invited Johnny's idols to perform.

After arriving at the headquarters building of Fuji TV in Kawada-cho, Shinjuku-ku, at the entrance, he happened to bump into a Toyota Century.

The experienced Matsuzawa Masayoshi immediately slowed down and gave way to the entrance.

And Kondo Masahiko was a bit unhappy: "Masayoshi-san, why should we give way!"

I am a popular idol! An idol singer who just won the Cable Music Award the day before yesterday! Shouldn't he give way to me?

"Masahiko-san, that is a Toyota Century!"

Kondo Masahiko, who was just 18 years old, didn't have a driver's license, but he knew the brand of the car and knew that Toyota Century was a luxury car. "So what? I can afford it in the future!"

Matsuzawa Masayoshi curled his lips. It's a car worth more than 20 million. Although this low-end Toyota Crown of his own agency is also considered a medium-to-high-end car and belongs to the official car of Johnny's agency, it was specially equipped for the face of the agency, and it is not at the same level as the top configuration opposite.

Johnny's implements a monthly salary system. If you want to buy it, you have to wait for 10 years!

However, the reason for giving way is not because it is expensive:

"Masahiko-san, people who ride this kind of car are either rich or expensive. If you come to Fuji TV, it may be a senior executive or an important person of the TV station. We'd better not conflict."

Hearing the manager say this, Kondo Masahiko calmed down.

So he waited for the car in front to enter the door, and then his own car slowly drove into the garage.

On the other side, Nagayama Naoki took advantage of noon to go back to Shanying Yuan and put Ying Taro back home. After all, he couldn't take him to the casting meeting in the afternoon.

He also took a shower and changed into a set of clothes. He was still wearing the clothes from Kyoto. Although it was cold and he didn't sweat much, he always felt uncomfortable.

This time when he went out, he didn't choose the convertible, but took out the Toyota Century that hadn't been used for a long time, and went to the studio to pick up Furuhura Otomo.

"Naoki-san, why are you driving this car today?"

Furuhura Otomo sat in the back row happily. The handmade interior decoration of the car was low-key and luxurious. The spacious rear space was very comfortable, and sitting in the back row made Nagayama Naoki feel like his driver.

"The convertible is a bit cold." Nagayama Naoki saw Furuhura Otomo's expression and felt strange. "Otomo-san, are you thinking about something rude?"

"Where!" Furuhura Otomo immediately replied, fully exposing his true thoughts, but soon found an excuse, "I was thinking about the selection standard later!"

"Is that so?" Nagayama Naoki looked suspiciously at the rearview mirror and saw Furuhura Otomo's serious appearance, and couldn't find any flaws. "As long as there is a prince-like temperament."

Saying that, he drove the car onto the main road.

The closed windows blocked all the cold air outside, and the good sound insulation materials also reduced the road noise to a whisper, and the turned-on air conditioning made the carriage warm. Furuhura Otomo even felt a little sleepy.

He put a cassette of American country music into the car audio. Simple instruments and lazy voices seemed to make people wander in that lazy afternoon of summer.

Tokyo seen through the car window seemed to be covered with a soft light filter. Under the winter daylight, the buildings put away their edges and corners, appearing gentle. The pedestrians on the side of the road were like walking in a silent film, and the occasional communication and laughter were like movies in a TV drama, separated from the two in the carriage by a dimension.

Afternoon is not a peak period. The half-hour drive was fast, and the Toyota Century took the two into the road of Kawada-cho. The Fuji TV building was not far away.

Nagayama Naoki turned off the audio and said to the back row:

"Otomo-san, we are almost there."

Furuhura Otomo seemed to be awakened and sat up straight immediately: "Hmm? Oh, so fast?"

"Did Otomo-san fall asleep?" Nagayama Naoki looked at Furuhura Otomo's increasingly sparse Mediterranean in the rearview mirror. "It's too exhausting recently."

"It's okay, it's actually too comfortable in the back row, and the music is also very soothing." Furuhura Otomo praised Nagayama Naoki's driving skills again. "And Naoki-san's driving skills are also very skilled, not like a young man in his twenties at all."

Indeed, when young people drive, they are generally more anxious, starting and accelerating in one go, and refueling and braking are also to the end. Once in the car, they have to keep accelerating, and when braking, they stop suddenly, making passengers feel the bumps of youth;

While middle-aged people have more skilled techniques, light oil and shallow brakes, less honking and more shifting, not seeking speed but smoothness. When energy is insufficient, they can stop and smoke a cigarette, and then continue on the road.

In his previous life, Nagayama Naoki was also an old driver for many years. This car was driven very smoothly. Even if he didn't do idols in the future, he could apply for a driver or something...

"Talent..." Nagayama Naoki perfunctorily, "Otomo-san, we have arrived."

The gate of the Fuji TV building was in front of him, but a Toyota Crown happened to come from the opposite side, closer to the gate than himself.

Just when Nagayama Naoki intended to slow down, the car stopped suddenly and gave way.

"It seems we met a good person~"

Furuhura Otomo saw it more clearly: "It's this Toyota Century that bluffed others."

Nagayama Naoki didn't give way either and drove the car directly into the parking lot.

Matsuzawa Masayoshi drove his own Toyota Crown into the underground garage with that Toyota Century and parked not far away.

When Kondo Masahiko and Matsuzawa Masayoshi got off the car, they also saw Nagayama Naoki and Furuhura Otomo, who was coming out of the back row with a Mediterranean.

"Isn't that? Nagayama Naoki of Tree Friend Films? The one behind is Furuhura Otomo? How did he actually sit on a Toyota Century?"

Matsuzawa Masayoshi recognized the two. People seen a year and a half ago can be recognized. The manager assigned to Kondo Masahiko by Johnny's can also be considered a capable person in the industry.

The Japanese entertainment industry is not big, and it is not small. The division of labor in this circle is very detailed. It is easy to know household idol stars here, but if there is no business dealings, employees of idol management agencies may not know each other for many years.

Matsuzawa Masayoshi heard about the popularity of several movies of Tree Friend Films and also paid attention to Nagayama Naoki's recent scandals, but he didn't know much about the real revenue of Tree Friend Films.

"It's that guy Nagayama Naoki! We actually gave way to them?!"

Kondo Masahiko saw Nagayama Naoki at a glance. Standing with Furuhura Otomo, all eyes would naturally be attracted to the more handsome one.

Before, he grabbed an advertisement of Nagayama Naoki, but found that this guy was driving a luxury car, so he was jealous; later, Johnny's Shonentai co-starred in a movie with this guy, which achieved good box office and reputation, making Kondo Masahiko even more jealous, so he broke out the news of bullying juniors in the program shooting of Fuji TV, making himself have a hard time for a while.

"Is this guy also here to participate in the casting meeting? But this time, I won't let you get what you want!"

Kondo Masahiko has a lot of psychological advantage over Nagayama Naoki at this time, because he just won the Cable Music Award, while that guy has been gray-headed by scandals recently.

As for the capital game behind the scandal, Kondo Masahiko doesn't know.

The two groups met at the elevator. Furuhura Otomo and Matsuzawa Masayoshi were both managers. The smooth social skills were still there. Even if there was a past of grabbing business, they were still enthusiastic as if nothing had happened.

And Kondo Masahiko was a look of nostrils facing the sky, making Nagayama Naoki, who didn't look up to this guy, not want to talk. The two stood behind their respective managers and made appearances.

"Otomo-san, it's been a long time!"

"Ah, Masayoshi-san is also, long time no see." Furuhura Otomo shook the hand extended by Matsuzawa Masayoshi, preemptive, wanting to suppress the other party's momentum, "Also thank Masayoshi-san for the humility at the door just now."

"Haha, nothing, nothing," Matsuzawa Masayoshi was all smiles, "Didn't expect it to be Otomo-san in the Toyota Century, thought it was an important guest of the TV station."

Meaning Furuhura Otomo is not an important person.

"Haha, anyway, I have to thank Masayoshi-san for giving way to us." Whether it is or not, anyway, you gave way to us.

Matsuzawa Masayoshi had no way, his own side did give way, this point can't be taken off, so he had to change the subject: "Otomo-san, are you also here to participate in the casting meeting today?"

"Oh? Is Masayoshi-san also here to participate in the casting meeting?" Furuhura Otomo was slightly surprised, and then the eyes looking at the two opposite were a bit playful.

"Hai, my Kondo Masahiko, has developed smoothly in his singing career and also intends to try the role of Fuji TV's new drama. It just so happens that Johnny's Shonentai has been confirmed to participate. If all four male leads are Johnny's people, it might become a good story."

The production committee has not been established yet, and the specific production situation of *Boys Over Flowers* is still in a blur. Except for the organizations that have already joined, agencies and production companies in the industry only know that Fuji TV is preparing to spend huge sums to film a campus love drama.

Even Johnny's, which has artists invited, only knows part of the plot, and the script is provided by Tree Friend Films. And Matsuzawa Masayoshi obviously doesn't know the important role Tree Friend Films played in it. At this time, he still wants to use the news that his own family has been confirmed to hit Furuhura Otomo.

And at this time, Furuhura Otomo smiled badly: "Haha, yes, that would really be a good story!"

While speaking, the elevator had reached the first floor. Furuhura Otomo and Matsuzawa Masayoshi walked out first, still humble:

"Please go first!" "Please!"

Clearly both wanted to walk out first, but at this time they were acting like they were acting. And Nagayama Naoki didn't care about the order. He gave way to the side of the door. If they want to go first, let them go. It happens to lead the way.

And Kondo Masahiko, before getting out of the elevator, actually approached Nagayama Naoki and stared at him fiercely: "You have no chance!"

Nagayama Naoki was a bit inexplicable. Where did this guy get such great hostility?

Although he said some bad things on Akina's side, he had only seen him for the third time, and hadn't said a few words...

But this guy seems to be only 170-something, threatening Nagayama Naoki who is over 180,

Um...

Still have to look up...

The gate of the First Studio is very small, but after pushing the door open, you will find that it is almost as big as a basketball court inside, and there are small offices and makeup rooms and rest rooms separated, and the layout is similar to the studio of Tree Friend Films.

Nagayama Naoki and the others were late. At this time, there were already dozens of male artists and managers in the studio, gathering together to chat and waiting for the start of the casting meeting. Several staff members of Fuji TV wearing work cards were maintaining order.

After the four entered, they were discovered by the welcoming Xi Lumei and hurriedly walked over to ask for information:

"Johnny's agency, Kondo Masahiko, right."

"Yes." Kondo Masahiko's popularity is still there.

"Hai, this is your number plate. Please take it. After the casting meeting starts later, you will enter according to the number plate."

After registration, Xi Lumei issued a number plate to Kondo Masahiko officially.

However, after seeing Nagayama Naoki at the end, Xi Lumei immediately became enthusiastic:

"Naoki-san, you're here! Why so slow... come with me quickly~"

Saying that, she pulled Nagayama Naoki's arm and pushed him into the small office.

Nagayama Naoki was caught off guard by Xi Lumei's enthusiasm, but still walked along with the force.

"Xi Lumei-san... no need to be so anxious~"

He didn't know that Xi Lumei naturally watched the *Waratte Iitomo! * on Monday, and for a guy like Nagayama Naoki who is so good at flirting, Xi Lumei has become a loyal fan!

"Taiyasu-san has been waiting for a long time!"

Kondo Masahiko, who was watching Xi Lumei drag Nagayama Naoki away from behind, had a very bad face at this time. He thought Nagayama Naoki entered the casting in advance.

"That guy, why?!"
