Chapter 337

In the daily management of the studio, Naoki Nagayama felt that he was becoming more and more comfortable. He could basically finish processing everything by staying in the office for a few hours.

Originally~ being a boss should be like this. If the superior is busier than the subordinates, why would there be so many people who want to be bosses and managers?

So the remaining time can be arranged by himself, leisure and relaxation, like wandering around in the studio... No way, there is no portable way to pass the time in this era. You can't even sit quietly and play a game of Honor of Kings.

Watching TV in the office is too much. Naoki Nagayama doesn't have such a thick skin. It's impossible to read newspapers, magazines, etc. all day long.

Days like having a cup of tea and a newspaper, sitting for a whole day, also require special concentration.

"Naoki-san, why are you walking around?" Seeing her own boss wandering to her desk for the third time, Hayano Riko couldn't help but speak.

"Ah, nothing, just checking everyone's work situation~" Naoki Nagayama was a little embarrassed. It seems that building his own leisure on other people's hard work is a bit like a capitalist, "Did I disturb you?"

"It's not that you disturbed me..." Hayano Riko said, "It's just that everyone is very nervous, like self-study at school."

"Is that so~" Naoki Nagayama understood instantly. When self-studying, the head teacher walks around in the class...

Hayano Riko felt that she couldn't confront her boss: "Isn't Naoki-san going to send Saito Yuki to TBS?"

"That's in the afternoon."

So this period of time is very free, and he can't go home.

"Uh... then why doesn't Naoki-san go out for a walk?"

"This... will be very troublesome~"

Since showing his face in various academies yesterday, Naoki Nagayama found that his fame was completely different from before. Now, young people in Tokyo, not to mention half, at least 30% already know him. If he appears on the street without a mask, he is likely to be surrounded very quickly.

There is no need to say much about this to Hayano Riko. Naoki Nagayama suddenly thought of "Cat's Eye" which is being filmed.

"Ano, Riko-chan, since there is nothing here, I'll go to Xiu-san's set to have a look." Naoki Nagayama said to the acting secretary, "If Yuki-chan arrives early in the afternoon, let her wait for a while~"

"Hai, I understand!"

According to the filming schedule, today's filming team seems to be filming in a cafe. After Naoki Nagayama took a look at the address, he drove to Meguro Ward.

The sunlight during the day shone on his body, warm and sunny, making people's mood very bright.

Meguro Ward is a gathering area for cherry blossoms. Along the way, you can see pink and tender cherry blossoms in full bloom. Under the brilliant light, the pink petals seem to be translucent. The filtered light turned into a faint pink, covering the street with a soft halo.

This cafe called "Cat's Eye" was temporarily rented by the crew. After renovation, it was used as a scene. It is located in the middle of a slightly remote street, but the traffic and people outside the door are not small.

Through the glass door at the entrance, you can see a lot of photography equipment set up inside the cafe. Occasionally, curious pedestrians will push the door in and ask if this is a movie-themed cafe.

The movement of Naoki Nagayama pushing the door in made the staff on the set think it was such a person, and they didn't even look: "Sumimasen, it's not open today, we have already booked the venue... Naoki-san?"

"Hai, Kinoshita-kun, it's me." Naoki Nagayama smiled, "Hasn't filming started yet?"

Seeing the big boss, Kinoshita, one of the field staff, nodded hurriedly: "Hai, Xiu-san is guiding."

After walking a few steps, he really saw Yin Tangxiu guiding shooting techniques with Ono Mikina at the cafe's bar: "Mikina-san, you must always pay attention to showing your charm, and remember your mature royal sister identity! Come, say the line just now again with a royal sister voice!"

"Hai!" Ono Mikina tried it immediately, bending over slightly to show an S-shaped curve, shaking the order receipt in her hand, and said to Takayuki Takemoto next to her with a charming voice:

"Junfu-san, you haven't paid yet~"

Naoki Nagayama clearly saw that the young man Takayuki Takemoto trembled. It was really hard to resist...

But it should be very funny when filmed~

"Meow~"

Just when Naoki Nagayama wanted to say hello, he actually heard a cat meow suddenly coming from his feet. It was actually a big orange cat, looking at this bipedal beast in front of him with a face full of unhappiness, and his eyes clearly revealed this meaning:

"Don't block the way, understand?"

Naoki Nagayama moved aside slightly, watching this spirited cat walk past his feet with its tail up.

Eh? Isn't it said that big orange cats are very silly? Why is this one a bit wrong?

Just when he was still thinking about studying it, Yin Tangxiu found him: "Naoki, you're here!"

"Hai, there is nothing in the studio, so I came to have a look." Naoki Nagayama walked on tiptoe to the side of the camera, without greeting others, to avoid destroying the order of the filming site, "How is it, is the filming going smoothly?"

"There are still some problems. The main thing is that there are three heroines this time. It is difficult to clearly show the different personality characteristics and respective charms of the three people." There was no frustration in Yin Tangxiu's tone, but rather like he had found a challenge.

"What about the male lead?" Naoki Nagayama looked at Takayuki Takemoto in the field, who looked a bit silly under Ono Mikina's teasing, "It looks very real."

"Yes, everyone else is acting, he is a real reaction." Yin Tangxiu sighed, "It just happened to meet a suitable role. This is the luck of the experiential school!"

"Hahaha, during this time, Takayuki Takemoto-san will wander between the three sisters of the Wild Cat Group. Come to think of it, it's a bit enviable."

"When the TV series is broadcast, this guy will definitely be sent threatening letters by the audience, hahaha~"

Yin Tangxiu also laughed. Indeed, as the only male lead of "Cat's Eye," the ones acting opposite him are a mature royal sister, a black-haired goddess, a cute little sister...

Since he is here, Naoki Nagayama began to observe the performances of the leading actors.

In the cafe of "Cat's Eye," many things happened, news of theft cases, clues to new paintings, and daily life between the protagonists.

I don't know if it's because of the casting, Naoki Nagayama feels that they performed very well this time, fitting the original work, and even as if the characters broke the dimensional wall, vivid and lifelike.

Currently, it is just filming the scene where Utsumi Junfu complains to the cafe about the thief of Cat's Eye, but is hurriedly called away by his colleagues.

"Naoki-san, just right, will you act as someone drinking coffee?"

"Eh?"

"Anyway, there is nothing to do, right? Don't talk nonsense, we are short of people, come quickly."

Naoki Nagayama shrugged, okay, he did a group performance for nothing.

Sitting in the seat by the window of the cafe, waiting for the youngest of the three sisters, Kisugi Ai, to order before Junfu pushes the door in, and then just say a cappuccino is fine, very simple, isn't it?

When Yin Tangxiu shouted A, Kisugi Ai, played by Pian Tong Cai Zhi, walked over. For the role, her hair was cut short, and the whole person looked lively and cute. She walked briskly for a few steps and stood next to Naoki Nagayama:

"What would the guest like to drink?"

Naoki Nagayama looked up at Pian Tong Cai Zhi and spoke slowly: "Meow~"

??? wtf? Mouth substitute? Why is it still a cat mouth substitute?

As soon as this cat meow came out, both Naoki Nagayama and Pian Tong Cai Zhi were stunned. Looking down, it turned out that the big orange cat didn't know when it ran to Naoki Nagayama's small table, and was lying comfortably in the sunlight shining from outside the window...

It turned out to be this guy. Both Naoki Nagayama and Pian Tong Cai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Just thinking about doing it again, but the director never shouted stop, so Naoki Nagayama had to bite the bullet and act down.

"Sumimasen, I didn't order just now, I want to order a cappuccino~" Naoki Nagayama looked at the big orange cat sunbathing on the table in front of him, and said a bit helplessly, "As for this Mr. Cat, I don't understand what he ordered."

Pian Tong Cai Zhi also reacted, still acting:

"Ah, I'm really sorry, guest. This is Meow Taro raised in the shop~ He ran here without paying attention, disturbing you~ I'll take him away right now~"

Naoki Nagayama looked at the big orange cat who was leisurely and comfortable again. Just as the orange cat's eyes met his, he suddenly felt that the orange cat's eyes had a feeling of being awake in the world, as if saying "Let the world be destroyed, anyway, it has nothing to do with me," which is very interesting.

"Daijobu, I happen to be alone too." Naoki Nagayama smiled at Pian Tong Cai Zhi, "Buddha said, five hundred glances in the previous life only exchanged for a brush in this life. Since we met in this beautiful afternoon, such fate, let him accompany me for a period of time."

"Eh?"

Pian Tong Cai Zhi was a bit confused. Why did Naoki-san suddenly say so many lines? And the lines seem very literary!

Although the three sisters of the Wild Cat Group haven't read many books, these lines sound very lyrical and charming!

"Then... okay... your cappuccino, please wait a moment..."

Just when Kisugi Ai, played by Pian Tong Cai Zhi, walked to the bar, the camera turned to Utsumi Junfu following her actions. He was complaining to the eldest sister Kisugi Rui at the bar about the great thief Cat's Eye, saying things like "I must catch them!"

Suddenly the door was pushed open vigorously: "Junfu, there is new news about Cat's Eye! Come quickly!"

Utsumi Junfu hurriedly got up and put on his coat, intending to rush out together, but was dragged by the eldest sister Kisugi Rui: "Junfu-san, you haven't paid yet~"

"Cut!" Yin Tangxiu finally shouted cut, and then looked at Naoki Nagayama and said, "I knew it, Naoki-san always comes up with some new tricks! Sure enough!"

"What does this have to do with me?" Naoki Nagayama laughed, "This is force majeure, okay? Who knew this orange cat would run over? And meowed so coincidentally?"

Yin Tangxiu also laughed easily: "Then what's the matter with that line? "Five hundred glances in the previous life only exchanged for a brush in this life," such words can't be spoken casually, stealing all the protagonist's scenes!"

The three wild sisters of the Wild Cat Group gathered around. Pian Tong Cai Zhi couldn't help nodding: "Yes, yes, I was stunned when Naoki-san said it! It feels so charming! Is it really Naoki-san's improvisation?"

Everyone on the scene knew that Naoki Nagayama was a best-selling author, but being able to write such sentences even in improvisation is too much.

"Hahaha, accumulated usually~" Accumulated in the previous life, Naoki Nagayama didn't want to say more, touched the big orange cat on the table, "Speaking of which, this orange cat has a very friendly personality. Is its name really Meow Taro?"

"Hai, it was bought from a pet store a while ago."

"Is that so..." Is it possible that our company has to raise an animal to make a movie? There are already three Hachikos.

"Xiu-san, do you want to re-shoot that part just now?"

"No need, the feeling of filming is very good, and the lines are also very good." Yin Tangxiu looked at it from the camera, "Go directly to the next scene."

Naoki Nagayama stayed on the set for several hours, and after having a bento on the set, he drove back.

In the studio, Saito Yuki had already arrived and was chatting with Hayano Riko.

"Naoki-san, you're back~" After seeing Naoki Nagayama, the little girl's face was full of smiles.

"Hai, stayed on the set for a while, Yuki-chan didn't wait long, right?"

"Just arrived not long ago~" "That's good~"

After a few pleasantries, Naoki Nagayama took Saito Yuki back to the car and headed to the program site of "The Best Ten."

TBS Tokyo Broadcasting, as one of Japan's five major private TV stations, once maintained the number one annual ratings for 19 consecutive years, but of course, it was surpassed by other TV stations last year.

However, this old TV station owns many well-known columns, among which "The Best Ten" is a very influential music program in the Showa era.

The distance from Chiyoda to Minato Ward is not short, but there are expressways along the way, and the time taken will not be too long.

"Naoki-san, have you been to TBS too?" Saito Yuki in the passenger seat asked, "Suddenly saying you want to accompany me, I'm a little surprised."

"No, I haven't participated in a program at the TBS Hall. If you want to compare, Yuki-chan should have been there more than me. Actually, going this time is mainly because there is no one."

"Eh?"

"Come to think of it, this is Yuki-chan's first time participating in "The Best Ten" after entering the top ten of the ranking, right?" Naoki Nagayama said, "Originally, it should have been Inada Yamin or Fangcun Dayou who took you there to show solemnity."

"Hai, I participated in some variety shows before."

"So this time I consider it a temporary idea. Come to think of it, I also want to see what this program looks like."

"So that's how it is..."

Although the explanation was very reluctant, Saito Yuki didn't think too much. After all, choosing between the handsome Naoki Nagayama and others, the result is certain, right~

The convertible sports car flew all the way during the chat between the two from time to time, and it took almost half an hour to reach the TBS Hall. This is a high-rise building with 9 floors above ground and 1 floor underground, much more imposing than the current building of Fuji TV.

After explaining the reservation situation to the young lady at the front desk, after waiting for a while, a staff member soon came out of the elevator, short and fat, with a smile on his face:

"Sumimasen, kept you two waiting." The fat staff member said, "I am the producer of "The Best Ten," Akimoto Yasushi. Nice to meet you, please give me more advice in the future."

Akimoto Yasushi? Naoki Nagayama looked at him in surprise. This guy is the gravedigger of traditional idols and the father of civilian idols AKB48 and Nogizaka46!

But now he is a kind and gentle little fat man... It really is that you can't judge a person by their appearance!

"Nice to meet you, I am Naoki Nagayama, please give me more advice." "Nice to meet you, I am Saito Yuki, please give me more advice."

"The studio of the program is on the 3rd floor." After the meeting ceremony was completed, Akimoto Yasushi led the two to the elevator, and then talked to Naoki Nagayama very enthusiastically, "Teacher Nagayama, I have long admired your name. I have read your "Garden of Summer" and "Love Letter" carefully."

Is he actually a book fan? "Arigato, please continue to support me in the future."

"When will Teacher Nagayama's new book be published?"

"Hahaha, it is currently being written."

"Is that so~ By the way, Teacher Nagayama's new song, which is Miss Saito's "Dream's Droplets," is very excellent!" It turns out that he is not only a book fan, but simply a little fanboy, but Akimoto Yasushi should be over 30 years old...

Amidst the constant flattery of the little fat man, the three came to the studio of "The Best Ten." Although it is a live program, necessary rehearsals are of course indispensable.

"Teacher Nagayama, unlike other programs, our program is in the form of a live broadcast, so advance communication is very important." Akimoto Yasushi opened the door first, hearing the noise inside,

"The people should be almost complete. After the hosts Kume Hiroshi-san and Kuroyanagi Tetsuko-san arrive, we can start rehearsing. If it's Teacher Nagayama today, you can sit in the seat of the background board."

"Hai, then thank you very much."

When on the road, he said he was sending Saito Yuki, and by the way, he wanted to see this music program. Akimoto Yasushi naturally had no opinion, but instead arranged Naoki Nagayama on the background stage, just a background seat without speaking. What's wrong with giving it to his idol?

Moreover, Naoki Nagayama is also very famous, is the author of the top ten songs, and the recent "Boys Over Flowers" is also very topical.

After leading people here, Akimoto Yasushi left because he had to prepare for the program.

The large studio is divided into two parts, one is the host's stage, and the other part is the singer's set stage. Saito Yuki's set is also among them, which is a white piano area.

After Naoki Nagayama walked in, his eyes swept, and he discovered one who was particularly outstanding in the studio!

Sure enough, Akina Nakamori was also invited!

She is currently checking the camera position on the set stage, wearing an exaggerated singing costume, singing the song "1/2 Mythology," and gesturing with her movements.

The stage is next to Saito Yuki's stage, Saito Yuki took Naoki Nagayama and walked over...

"Akina~"

A face that is both angry and happy turned over...
