Chapter 358: The idol who had a cigarette after the event was secretly photographed!
Returning to Tokyo, Naoki Nagayama naturally returned to a peaceful daily life, and the next day he began to take Eitaro, who had gained a circle of weight, to exercise.
As the weather gets hotter and hotter, after a morning jog, the whole person is sweaty, and the big dog naturally sticks out its tongue and pants.
However, as long as he takes a shower, the whole person becomes refreshed, and he can go to the studio to play with Dayou Fangcun and Xiuyi Yin Tang and the others in high spirits~
Bah! That's inspecting work!
However, this morning, Naoki Nagayama was tasting the bread slices he baked himself, and by the way, flipping through the magazines that had just been delivered.
Just after flipping through one book, his eyes suddenly widened, because on the cover of this magazine called *Focus*, a half-naked lolita photo was published!
To be precise, it was a photo of a half-naked lolita and her boyfriend having a cigarette after sex in bed!
The person photographed is Tomoko Takabe, a member of the currently super hot Japanese girl group "Warabe," a girl idol famous for her purity and childishness.
"This is a big deal!" Naoki Nagayama couldn't even care about continuing to eat. This is the legendary idol disqualification event!
Naoki Nagayama flipped to the specific article and saw the somewhat familiar reporter's name—Shinnosuke Matsuzawa.
"Isn't this guy a reporter for *Weekly Bunshun*? How did he go to *Focus* again."
Stuffing the remaining bread slices into his mouth in two or three bites, Naoki Nagayama went out directly in his sports car. Although it is not his main business, he also manages an agency, and he also has two or three idol artists under his name.
The early summer sun was dazzling, hitting the glass curtain walls of high-rise buildings, shattering into seven-colored glare. From a distance, it had a unique beauty, but always staying between high-rise buildings, it was easy to get dizzy by such mottled colored light.
Fortunately, the dark and dumb exterior wall of the studio made this influence unable to reach Naoki Nagayama's eyes.
After walking into the studio with the magazine, Naoki Nagayama was still smiling and greeting the employees, showing the approachability of a young boss.
"Good morning, Naoki-san!"
"Morning, Riko-chan~" Naoki Nagayama asked directly, "Is Dayou-san here?"
"Hai, he is already here."
Because the workstation was close to the office, Hayano Riko, who already had the awareness of a secretary, answered very smoothly, and even called him when Naoki Nagayama was about to leave.
"Naoki-san, Guanglian-chan came to find you before~"
? Guanglian Beicun came to find me? Naoki Nagayama probably knew what was going on: "Hai, I know, thank you~"
After opening the office door, Dayou Fangcun was approving some documents. Seeing Naoki Nagayama, he was very surprised:
"Naoki-san, why are you here today?"
Naoki Nagayama handed the magazine in his hand to the balding manager: "I saw a report that I was a bit concerned about, so I brought it for Dayou-san to see. It's about Tomoko Takabe."
"A report you are concerned about?"
Dayou Fangcun should not have read the report yet. After reaching out and taking it, he immediately browsed it, but found that it was just a revelation that often appeared in the entertainment industry, although the fact that she was photographed half-naked in bed smoking was indeed very shocking.
Such private photos could actually be taken, she really has no self-awareness as a well-known person.
Could it be that the paparazzi who filmed it were special agents~
Seeing Naoki Nagayama so concerned about this report, Dayou Fangcun's first thought was actually "Is Tomoko Takabe having an affair with Naoki Nagayama?"
However, as a manager with high emotional intelligence, he adopted a circuitous way of asking: "Are you very concerned, Naoki-san? Is Tomoko Takabe your friend?"
"No, I just know her from reports and haven't met her." Naoki Nagayama explained very simply, "It's mainly the phenomenon represented by this report itself that makes me a bit concerned."
"The phenomenon represented by itself?" Dayou Fangcun couldn't understand, "Isn't this something that often happens in the entertainment industry? After that, Tomoko Takabe will apologize and retire. It has always been like this."
"Always..." Naoki Nagayama curled his lips, "This time it's a bit different."
"Dayou-san, have you counted how many idols have debuted since *Star! Birth! *?"
Dayou Fangcun was even more confused: "That should be a lot."
"There is already a proverb in Tokyo: 'Throw a stone on the street in Ginza, and you can hit at least two idols.' People are already a bit visually fatigued with idols..." Naoki Nagayama said, "The idol who originally represented people's best expectations is like a beautiful but slender glass balloon. It can be broken with just a hammer."
Dayou Fangcun was more and more confused: "What do you want to explain, Naoki-san? Don't be a riddle maker!"
Naoki Nagayama looked at Dayou Fangcun: "Idol disqualification! This industry of idols is about to usher in a storm."
"Naoki-san is too alarmist!" Dayou Fangcun maintained a skeptical attitude, "It's just an ordinary scandal."
Naoki Nagayama didn't say much. After the variety shows like *Twilight Meow Meow* come out later, the status of idols will become lower and lower. The female idols who originally had at least one skill will completely become idols who can't do anything.
"Cat's Eye should have nothing to do with it. They don't take the path of pure idols." Naoki Nagayama continued, "In short, keep an eye on Junko Ito and Yuki Saito during this period, and don't let them break out similar scandals."
Suddenly thinking of Yuki Saito, who also seems to have a lot of emotions in later generations: "Especially Yuki-chan, she entered the entertainment industry so young, it's easy to be led astray."
"Uh... hai!"
Although he didn't know why Naoki Nagayama attached such importance to this matter, Dayou Fangcun had already developed the good habit of listening to Naoki for everything.
After explaining this matter, Naoki Nagayama felt that he had put down a burden and looked around:
"By the way, is Xiuyi-san not here?"
"He is still on the set today." Dayou Fangcun looked at the documents again, "*Cat's Eye* has been aired to the fourth episode, and more and more fans have put forward opinions to the crew. He is busy until very late every day."
"Ah, is that so? Xiuyi-san is really too hard~" He scratched his head a bit embarrassedly. After all, his subordinates were tired to death, but he, the boss, was idle every day, "Pay attention to the combination of work and rest~"
After saying a few dry words, Naoki Nagayama hurriedly found an excuse: "Ah, Guanglian Beicun just said she had something to find me. Dayou-san, I'll go over first~"
After seeing his boss's figure covered by the door, Dayou Fangcun shook his head. Naoki Nagayama is good at everything, but he didn't inherit the Showa spirit of hard work!
Then he picked up the magazine on the table and took a look: "Is there really going to be a big change..."
Tomoko Takabe on the cover looks relaxed, lazy, mature, and charming. In short, it has nothing to do with the natural and innocent image.
Naoki Nagayama knocked on the door of the finance room and found Guanglian Beicun.
"Guanglian-san, is that fund already in the account?"
"Ah, yes, Naoki-san."
Guanglian Beicun handed over a report, which was the account details of Naoki Nagayama's personal studio, "The current balance in the account is 4.26 billion yen."
Guanglian Beicun's voice was also a bit excited. Such an amount was already more than the book funds of some medium-sized companies.
Naoki Nagayama looked at the long string of numbers, but there was no ripple in his heart: "So much? I remember that 2 million US dollars were left in America. When did so much money come again."
"Uh..." Guanglian Beicun was a bit speechless. Who doesn't care about their income, "Naoki-san, actually there are several main sources, the income of the disco, the income of the movie, the share of the record, and the share of the novel..."
"These are all income every month. And Naoki-san doesn't consume much, so it accumulated."
?
Doesn't consume much?
Naoki Nagayama was pointed out by this, it is indeed!
Other wealthy people with assets similar to his must be squandering money like dirt every day, indulging in top-tier clubs, high-end luxury goods, and private chefs and servants. Unlike him, who still goes home to buy groceries and cook.
"Well, it seems I should really spend more."
Speaking of which, how do rich people consume? Who can tell me? Waiting online.
When Naoki Nagayama had a headache and didn't know how to spend money, Etsuro Kikuchi, the former public relations director of the Burning agency and the current office director, had a gloomy face in the office.
Since being defeated by Masato Oda, the director of the planning department, his position was squeezed step by step to an idle position like the office director, and he also understood that the president, Ikuo Suo, was just using time to let him leave.
Masato Oda, the former planning department director, has two former Wild Cat Group idols under his hand, the cute representative Ayano Fukuhara and the singing representative Saka Nonaka.
Since they left the Wild Cat Group, their idol careers have not developed well. Now they are always in a half-dead state, and the current director Masato Oda has long had the idea of giving them up.
However, with the increasing popularity of *Cat's Eye*, the heat of the Cat's Eye sisters is also getting higher and higher, and the former Wild Cat Group is also often mentioned.
"Can dead cats also be resurrected?"
Etsuro Kikuchi muttered while looking at the report. His originally grey hair turned completely white in less than a year, and the whole person was also depressed. However, after seeing the Wild Cat Group become popular again, a glimmer of light seemed to rise in his eyes.
"Even if they come back to life, they are my cats!"
He stood up, pushed open the office door, and walked slowly to another office next to him. After pushing open the door, the nameplate on the office was Media Business Department Director - Masato Arai.
"Arai!"
Seeing his former down-and-out old boss coming over, Masato Arai didn't welcome the high and step on the low like some other villains, but said very gently: "Kikuchi-san, why are you here? Sit down quickly."
And then diligently arranged to pour tea for him.
"Arai, sure enough, you haven't changed at all, still so thoughtful~"
Etsuro Kikuchi sighed. This confidant of his was able to get the new Media Business Department Director position by his own ability after he fell, and this thoughtful mind played a big role.
"It's all Kikuchi-san's training before."
Masato Arai smiled. If it weren't for the training of Etsuro Kikuchi before and the all-out support for the past two years, how could this Media Business Department separated from the public relations department be his turn? So he still had a sense of gratitude for his old boss.
"Why did Kikuchi-san come over today? Did something happen?"
"Can't I come over to see you if there's nothing?" Etsuro Kikuchi smiled slightly, and what he got in return was Masato Arai's same smile. They are all thousand-year-old foxes, but one is big and one is small.
"Hahaha, there is indeed one thing."
Etsuro Kikuchi took out the newspaper and pointed to the photo: "You have seen *Cat's Eye*, right?"
"Hai, I have paid attention to it." The agency in the entertainment industry naturally pays attention to these, "What's wrong?"
"These three are members of the Wild Cat Group!" Etsuro Kikuchi said, "They are our former idols."
"Yeah, they terminated the contract with us..." Masato Arai thought, it was you who asked me to notify them to retire at the beginning.
"However, the name of the Wild Cat Group still belongs to me, right?"
This girl group name is indeed under the Burning agency, but it is just an empty name. At this time, Etsuro Kikuchi specifically mentioned it, what does it mean?
"Kikuchi-san, you?"
"Arai-san, how about taking this opportunity to resurrect the Wild Cat Group?" Etsuro Kikuchi said in a low voice.
"How is this possible!"
Masato Arai immediately replied. Are you kidding? People are in the momentum of rising, how could they possibly return to this old group.
"How is it impossible! Don't we still have two members?" Etsuro Kikuchi began to become excited, "As long as those three come back!"
As long as the Wild Cat Group is resurrected, then he will have the confidence of the idol industry again. Even if he leaves the Burning agency to open an agency himself in the future, he will have a good starting point.
"They are already artists of other agencies!" Masato Arai reminded.
"Then dig them over!" Etsuro Kikuchi said, "We are the Burning agency! They are just an idol group that has just become popular."
What happened before can be done again. However, Etsuro Kikuchi was the public relations director before, and now he is just an office director.
"Kikuchi-san, this is different from before..."
Masato Arai sighed, looking at this increasingly excited old boss.
"GG agency is not a big agency, but it already has 2 first-class female idols and a male idol singer with an obvious upward trend. Wanting to dig people from him, the cost is great..."
It's not that there is no such thing as digging artists from other agencies. Akina Nakamori was almost dug from Ken-On, not to mention the Burning agency.
"But it's not that there is no chance, right?!" Etsuro Kikuchi stared at Masato Arai, "And it's not digging those two first-class idols, but just these three Cat's Eye sisters! They only have some heat in this movie!"
"But... the other two members of the Wild Cat Group are also under Masato Oda..."
If the Burning agency wants to dig people, it's not impossible, but it must use Masato Arai's own connections and resources to help. However, the other two members are not under Etsuro Kikuchi's hand?
Why does Etsuro Kikuchi think that the Wild Cat Group must belong to him?
"Arai, I will handle Masato Oda! I will also go to the president to plead for mercy." Etsuro Kikuchi stared at Masato Arai. As an old man who has followed the president for decades, he still has some feelings. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been in the agency all the time.
"Help me, this may be my life-saving straw! I fell in the Wild Cat Group, this time I must stand up from there again!"
"But..."
"Arai! You owe me!" Etsuro Kikuchi's expression was a bit hideous.
Thinking that Etsuro Kikuchi almost introduced all the resources to himself in the past two years, Masato Arai sighed:
"Kikuchi-san, I will persuade the agency to consider digging people, but whether they are willing to come back, and whether the GG agency will let them go, are all problems!"
"Hahaha, Arai! We are the Burning agency! They will definitely agree!"
Nearly half of the artists in Japan are under the control of the Burning system. How could the GG agency, whose name has not been heard much, not agree?
Besides, when digging the Wild Cat Group last time, didn't the other agency agree too? **CHAPTER 359**
