Chapter 336
Early in the morning, the hardworking Proprietor Naoki Nagayama came to the studio again, and then, amidst the urging of the staff, began to make up for the work missed yesterday.
Who told Naoki Nagayama, who should have come to the company, to spend the entire day yesterday at the set of "Cat's Eye"?
Fortunately, this is just a small company, and matters are not particularly urgent. If it were a larger company, with the leadership team collectively absent for an entire day, who knows what kind of chaos would ensue.
"Naoki-san, these are the materials that needed to be purchased yesterday! And the reimbursement receipts from last week!"
Kitamura Guanglian brought the receipts over for a signature, "And the receipts for the entertainment expenses from Otomo-san's side last week."
Naoki Nagayama was surprised: "Did Otomo-san come back yesterday?"
"No, it was Daotian Yamin-san who came back yesterday. He brought some materials from our partners, left the receipts and such, and then went out again." Hayano Riko, who was nearby, took over the conversation, taking the opportunity to hand over a stack of materials and place them on the desk, "These are the files of the partners that Otomo-san and Daotian Yamin-san expanded last week."
Naoki Nagayama was still looking at the details of the entertainment expenses and couldn't help but click his tongue: "Hot spring baths, nightclubs, clubs, Otomo-san is having a blast... Wait a minute, he even went to a red-light district?! Is this also reimbursable?"
Uh... seeing the surprised looks of the two ladies in front of him, Naoki Nagayama finally realized that in the entertainment industry of the Showa era, this was indeed reimbursable.
He signed the documents with somewhat complicated feelings.
Damn it! And it's public funds! How come I feel a bit envious!
"By the way, Riko-chan, I'm going out for a trip this afternoon. If there's anything else that needs my signature, just bring it all over~" Naoki Nagayama treated himself as a rubber stamp, a signing tool, intending to finish a whole day's work in one morning.
Currently, the company's big project is Yin Tangxiu's "Cat's Eye," and the records released by the artists under his wing are all in the middle stage. Fangcun Dayou took over the concert planning that takes the most energy, so it seems Naoki Nagayama only needs to be a tool man.
"Hai~"
Yin Tengchunzi's "Dislocated Time and Space" has already been released, sales are very good, the ranking on the Oricon chart has already passed the top 50, and the subsequent trend is also very good.
Counting Saito Yuki's "Dream's Droplets," which has already entered the top ten, Naoki Nagayama already has two idols on the Oricon chart, which is not much different from established agencies.
"Naoki-san, TBS's "The Best Ten" has sent an invitation to Yuki-chan." Just at this moment, Hayano Riko came over to report again, "If there are no problems, we will arrange it according to the regular schedule."
"Hmm, come to think of it, this is Yuki-chan's first time on "The Best Ten," right?" Naoki Nagayama nodded. Of course, he has to go for such an influential announcement.
"Hai, it is indeed the first time."
Naoki Nagayama considered it for a moment. Fangcun Dayou and Inada Daotian Yamin are both away this week. If she goes for the first time, there won't be a person of weight. It just so happens that he hasn't been to Tokyo Broadcasting TBS either. I heard that the revolving door of "The Best Ten" is also very interesting...
"In that case, after the time is set, I will send her over."
"Eh?..." Hayano Riko was stunned. How did her own boss take on the job?
"Is there any problem?"
"Hai! Absolutely none!" Hayano Riko replied hurriedly, "After the time is set, I will notify Naoki-san!"
Because of the phone call last night, Naoki Nagayama had already made an appointment with Sugiura Taiyu to go to Fuji TV in the morning.
In the afternoon, Naoki Nagayama drove a convertible sports car alone to the very familiar Fuji TV building in Shinjuku Ward. After the security guard saw the familiar car, he even skipped the symbolic questioning.
Naoki Nagayama came to the office area of the First Production Department in a familiar way, and saw Xi Rumi sitting in her seat at a glance.
"Xi Rumi-san, good afternoon~"
"Ah, Naoki-san, you're here~" Seeing the handsome man standing in front of her, Xi Rumi's mood suddenly improved, "Just in time, the others have arrived too!"
Saying that, she led Naoki Nagayama to the reception room. Sure enough, several leading actors of "Boys Over Flowers" were already in the office, and the accompanying agents were also there.
"Miezi-san, and Jizhi-kun, Kexiu-kun, Yiqing-kun, Mina-san, good afternoon." A room full of people, it can be said to be the most complete time since the filming of "Boys Over Flowers" was completed.
"Naoki-san is here!" "Good afternoon!" "Naoki-san!"
After some pleasantries, Naoki Nagayama sat directly next to Harada Miezi.
"Since Naoki-san has arrived, our people are all here." Sugiura Taiyu, as the initiator, did not waste time, "Mina-san, I have already notified you on the phone before. Due to the outstanding ratings of "Boys Over Flowers," the production department decided to increase the promotion efforts, so we planned a program."
"The leading actors will interview relevant personnel randomly near universities in Tokyo to see if anyone can recognize them, then interview them about questions related to "Boys Over Flowers," and promote it briefly among the crowd."
Saying that, he also let Xi Rumi bring out a batch of flyers. Sure enough, they were all promotional posters for "Boys Over Flowers."
It had already been notified once yesterday. For such a simple street interview program, naturally, not much preparation was needed. After Sugiura Taiyu explained to everyone the several places to go and the order of interviews for several people, he took the group of people onto the large van of Fuji TV.
"Miezi-san, have you ever participated in this kind of program before?"
Naoki Nagayama asked Harada Miezi next to him. Because they were promoting the TV series, everyone was wearing the costumes from the TV series now. Harada Miezi looked like a beautiful high school girl.
"I have participated in outdoor interviews a few times before, but I haven't tried interviewing others myself." Harada Miezi smiled, "But it sounds quite interesting."
"What about the Shonen Squad? Have you participated in similar activities?" Turning his head, he asked the three people wearing gorgeous clothes.
"No..."
Ah, right, these people haven't officially debuted as idols yet, so naturally, they have participated in fewer programs.
The first stop was the nearby Tokyo Fuji University. It just happened to be the time when students were finishing class in the afternoon. The van stopped on the side of the road, and then the leading actors took turns getting off the car one by one to conduct street interviews.
"Sumimasen, we are reporters from Fuji TV. Can we ask you a question?"
For street interviews, girls really have an advantage. Harada Miezi stopped three students walking together, both male and female, and then held the microphone to communicate the intention. Another big man was carrying a camera and filming on the side.
The three students had obviously never experienced this kind of thing, and nodded very shyly, not daring to look closely at the reporter's appearance.
Harada Miezi entered the state: "Do you watch TV series at home?"
"Hai!" "Yes." "Of course!"
"Then have you watched the recent "Boys Over Flowers"?"
"Eh? That show! I've watched it!" The female student among them said very happily, "F4 is very interesting, Hanazawa Rui is super handsome!"
Harada Miezi's face was a bit stiff: "Then what about the heroine?"
"Ah, that guy Sancai, why can she enter an academy with so many handsome guys!" The female student only then discovered that the female reporter in front of her was very familiar, "You you you... Sancai?!!"
"Hahaha, I was recognized!" Harada Miezi said with a smile, "We are the crew of "Boys Over Flowers," and we came here specifically to interview the impression of this show in the hearts of the audience."
Suddenly encountering someone who appeared on TV, the three students were very excited, and the female student among them was even more startled: "If you say so, is F4 also nearby? Did Hanazawa Rui come too!!!"
Harada Miezi's face was full of embarrassment. Are girls of this age really all looking at handsome guys?
However, she still guided several people to the side of the van, and then Naoki Nagayama and several others walked down. It must be said that among a group of people in black clothes, Naoki Nagayama in all white was really too conspicuous.
"Ah! Hanazawa Rui!!!" The girl was even more excited, "It's really the person himself!"
"Hello!" Naoki Nagayama waved, "Thank you for your support!"
"Ah~~~"
Looking at the way the female student was shaking her companion's arm, she might not be able to calm down for a while.
Besides that, the interview process went very smoothly. They asked a few questions, thanked them for their support, and then sent signed posters. The whole process was very harmonious.
Seeing that this group of people gradually attracted more attention, Sugiura Taiyu hurriedly took the interview team to the next place. This is not a fan meeting.
The second stop came to Waseda University. In the van, Sugiura Taiyu looked at Naoki Nagayama and said with a smile: "Haha, Naoki-san, this time it's up to you!"
"Hehe~" No way, in just the first two episodes, Hanazawa Rui was too outstanding.
Holding the microphone, he walked off the van. After waiting for a while on the tree-lined path of Waseda University, he saw a group of girls finishing class, coming out of the classroom in twos and threes.
A small number of people's eyes were also attracted by the handsome man in white on the tree-lined path.
"Look, there's a handsome guy over there!" "Honto! Super temperament!" "There seems to be someone carrying a camera around, is he a model? Or an idol?"
Feeling the whispers and the scrutinizing eyes, Naoki Nagayama felt uncomfortable all over, and hurriedly found two students walking together:
"Sumimasen, two students, can I take a little of your time?" Naoki Nagayama stood in the middle of the road holding the microphone, "We are reporters from Fuji TV, and we want to interview a few questions."
The two female students hadn't answered yet, when suddenly a loud shout came from not far behind them: "Hanazawa Rui!!!"
Naoki Nagayama was startled, and then discovered that the female students around were slowly surrounding him. That kind of hot eyes made Naoki Nagayama feel like a lamb that had fallen into a pack of wolves. For a moment, he even had the idea of running away.
Hurry up and finish the interview, then slip away!
"Two students, may I ask if you have watched the TV series "Boys Over Flowers"?"
"TV series, I haven't watched it, but our roommate has watched it." This one seems to be a top student, "Lingzi-chan, have you watched it?"
"Hai, I've watched it!" The little girl's face flushed, and she looked at Naoki Nagayama and said, "May I ask if it's Hanazawa Rui himself, right?"
Naoki Nagayama couldn't laugh or cry: "Uh... student, Hanazawa Rui is just a character in a TV series. My name is Naoki Nagayama."
"It's really the person himself!" After the female student confirmed it, she was even more excited, "Hanazawa Rui is really too handsome! And very gentle!"
So, did you listen to what I just said or not?
"Anyway, thank you for your support..." Naoki Nagayama then followed the process and started the interview, "Who do you think Sancai will end up with among F4?"
"Daoming Si!" The female student said without hesitation.
Naoki Nagayama was surprised. She actually guessed it right away: "Eh? Why are you so sure?"
"Because Hanazawa Rui is mine!" The female student issued a domineering declaration!
Other voices came from the crowd surrounding them:
"He's mine!" "Nonsense!" "Obviously I came first!" "Hanazawa Rui, I want to have children for you!"
"Cough cough..." Naoki Nagayama's eyes widened, looking at the female student in front of him whose blood was surging and who was still looking at him with burning eyes, he could only use coughing to relieve the embarrassment, "Female college students nowadays are really bold!"
"However, speaking of Daoming Si and Sancai, they are also on the scene." Naoki Nagayama hurriedly invited all the other actors to share the attention. There were more and more people!
On the tree-lined path of Waseda University, more and more students gathered together, occasionally bursting into laughter, making more people stop their steps.
Naoki Hezi, who had just finished a few classes, and the newly met Ishii Chunshui were on the way to the next classroom.
"Hezi, what happened there?" Ishii Chunshui looked around curiously, vaguely able to see the people wearing gorgeous clothes in the middle, "It seems to be some kind of street performance."
"Are there such things in the university?" Hezi also became interested, pulled Ishii Chunshui and walked over, but just as she got close, she heard someone shouting: "Hanazawa Rui is mine!"
? Hanazawa Rui? "Boys Over Flowers"?
Pushing away some of the peripheral crowd, Hezi saw the situation inside. Three people wearing gorgeous black clothes and a handsome man wearing white clothes, it was actually Naoki Nagayama!
"Nii-chan?"
Ishii Chunshui didn't seem to hear clearly: "Hezi-chan, what did you say? Inside seems to be the crew of "Boys Over Flowers," interviewing."
"Nothing..." Hezi said hurriedly, "Are they actually coming to the university to interview?"
"Sometimes there will be~" Ishii Chunshui didn't care much, "Eh? Hezi, they are distributing signed photos! Hurry!"
Saying that, she pulled Hezi and squeezed forward in the crowd. Hezi didn't even have time to react before she was pulled in.
"I... don't... want..."
Watching the Shonen Squad and Harada Miezi start to share the firepower, Naoki Nagayama breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly continued to find people to ask questions, thinking of ending this street interview as soon as possible.

"What shortcomings do you think "Boys Over Flowers" still has?" "What improvements do you hope for?" "Which protagonist do you like the most?"
After finally asking a few students, Naoki Nagayama retreated and greeted Sugiura Taiyu in a low voice: "Taiyu-san, can we distribute the posters now? There are more and more people!"
"Hai, wait a moment."
The staff on the van started to hand out signed posters, letting several leading actors distribute them. Naoki Nagayama also got a stack, and handed one to the nearest student:
"Hai, please take it, and please continue to support us in the future!"
"This one is for you, remember the next episode is this Friday!"
"Please take it!"
"Please..." Naoki Nagayama suddenly froze, because among the two people in front of him, there was actually his sister Hezi, "Hezi?"
Meeting his own sister when distributing flyers, it's very embarrassing, what to do...
"Hanazawa Rui! Please give me one too!" Ishii Chunshui didn't hear the previous address, looking at Naoki Nagayama very happily, "I like you the most!"
"Ah, hai, please take it!" Naoki Nagayama hurriedly handed over one, "Please continue to support us in the future!"
"And and, my friend wants one too!" Ishii Chunshui looked at Hezi who didn't react, thinking she was shy, "She is also your fan..."
My fan?
Naoki Nagayama looked at Hezi who was a bit embarrassed, and couldn't help but smile. But if he said Hezi was his sister at this time, it would cause trouble for her university life, right? Forget it, let's just treat her as my fan.
"Hai, please take it..." Handed over a poster.
Hezi silently took the poster, the expression on her face was an indescribable feeling.
"Arigato..."
