Chapter 379: After going around in circles, we finally met~

It was only after finishing dinner outside that Naoki Nagayama returned to Shanying Yuan.

Although he said he wanted to give Akina Nakamori a surprise, when he returned to Shanying Yuan, Akina gave Naoki Nagayama a small surprise first.

After soothing the clingy dog and greeting the aloof orange cat, he discovered the message light on the living room phone was flashing. After pressing the play button, Akina's highly recognizable voice came out.

"Eh? Naoki-san is actually not here? A child who doesn't stay home obediently is really troublesome~ Sigh~"

The pretentious sigh sounded just like a mother worrying about her child's whereabouts, "Naoki-san, Akina-chan, I actually came back last night~ The national tour concert is officially over~ I'll be in Tokyo from now on~"

This was completely unrealistic; obviously, a top idol would definitely be running around everywhere.

"Today is a whole day off, and I wanted to see Naoki-san~ But... if Naoki-san is not here, then there's no way~ Akina is going back to her hometown to see her mother~"

"See you when there's a chance~ That's all~"

Naoki Nagayama was a bit speechless. Akina's call must have been made in the morning. It was just a pity that he had gone to the studio early after getting up today and then went directly to Nagano Prefecture.

They had actually missed each other just like that~

He tried calling back, but after the phone went to voicemail, it still wasn't answered. It seemed Akina was staying in her hometown today.

Naoki Nagayama could only leave a message expressing his regret. However, since she was already in Tokyo, the chances of meeting would naturally not be few; he wasn't afraid of not being able to meet.

After nightfall, it rained again, and the air felt a bit sticky.

However, as the sun rose, it became a fresh morning again.

Today, Naoki Nagayama wasn't in a hurry to go out. After taking Eitaro out for a jog, he made a good breakfast at home.

But by 9 o'clock, there was still no phone call. It seemed Akina wouldn't be calling during the day today~

Only then did he leave the house and drive toward the studio.

"Naoki-san! Good morning!" "Naoki-san!"... Walking into the lobby of the studio, Naoki Nagayama discovered many faces he hadn't seen for a long time.

】

"Kijima-kun, you guys are back from Germany!"

For some reason, Naoki Nagayama saw Shizhi Araki sitting by the office desk at a glance, which moved this guy who was always ignored.

"Naoki-san, as expected, only you can see me!"

"Ha?" Naoki Nagayama was puzzled, "Kijima-kun, what nonsense are you talking about? Aren't you a perfectly fine living person?"

"..." Yeah, but why do others always ignore me? "But others always ignore me. After I came this morning, no one greeted me..."

Naoki Nagayama saw the grievance and disappointment in Shizhi Araki's eyes and, refusing to believe it, called out to Riko Hayano, who was nearby,

"Riko-chan, look who this is?"

"Naoki-san, you're here~" Riko Hayano heard him and saw Shizhi Araki next to him, "Eh? Isn't this Kijima-san? When did you come back?"

"I came this morning..." I was right next to you! I've been here the whole time! It's been almost half the morning!

This time, Naoki Nagayama was truly certain that Shizhi Araki must have a superpower! The ability to make everyone ignore him!

However, if this ability was used well... it seemed it would be quite something, Naoki Nagayama's mind suddenly flashed with various bizarre operations of the Invisible Man. avi series...

"Kijima-kun... regarding your ability, I suddenly have an idea, I don't know if I should say it..."

"Naoki-san, better not say it. I've tried it; if I get too close, I'll be discovered, and then I'll be beaten!"

Oh... oh?!

!

Shizhi Araki, you guy, have you actually tried it?

Naoki Nagayama looked at this guy who seemed very honest. No wonder he was still working honestly after having this kind of ability!

As expected, one should never underestimate anyone!

Naoki Nagayama remembered this truth and then prepared to go to the office. Unexpectedly, in the corridor at the door, he discovered Masataka Komori and another person—Shuichi Yin Tang.

"Isn't this Yin Tang-san?" Naoki Nagayama greeted, "How come you went on a business trip to Germany for more than a week and didn't rest for a day after coming back?"

He emphasized the one-week time frame.

Because this guy Shuichi Yin Tang had clearly said he would only stay in Germany for two or three days, and today was the production deadline for the last episode of "Cat's Eye"!

"Ah, Naoki-san~" Shuichi Yin Tang also felt ashamed after seeing Naoki Nagayama, "So that's why I came to the studio right after getting off the plane. I worked hard for a whole night, and the last episode is almost edited."

Shuichi Yin Tang had already stayed in the editing room for a whole night, but because he had slept for seven or eight hours on the plane, he didn't look particularly tired at this moment.

However, Masataka Komori, who accompanied him, had two big dark circles under his eyes, was unshaven, and looked like he had just finished cultivating immortality~

"Is that so?"

Naoki Nagayama muttered a word or two, but still didn't say much more.

In the office, Otomo Fushimura was packing his briefcase. Seeing Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Yin Tang enter together, he said anxiously, "Naoki-san, I might not be able to accompany you to find the graffiti artist. I'm going to meet that guy from Burning Agency! Damn it, he actually called to show his hand and made an appointment to negotiate with me at a restaurant in Shinjuku! Also, Yin Tang-san, remember to send the sample tape of today's finale to Tokyo TV!"

"Hai..." Shuichi Yin Tang nodded in agreement,

And although Naoki Nagayama had some questions, seeing Otomo Fushimura rushing off to beat someone up, he didn't stop him, only saying, "Otomo-san, don't get carried away! If it ends up in a fight, remember to protect yourself; you're not young anymore!"

"Hmph, that Etsuro Kikuchi is much older than me!" Otomo Fushimura walked out angrily. It seemed the call he received earlier made him very angry.

Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Yin Tang looked at each other, "Well~ I think there shouldn't be a problem. What do you think, Yin Tang-san?"

"I also think it's impossible to fight~" Shuichi Yin Tang shrugged. After all, fighting in a regular restaurant in Shinjuku would get them arrested by the police immediately~

"Naoki-san, do you want to see the sample tape?"

"Yes~"

Speaking of which, he hadn't seen the finale of "Cat's Eye" either.

Three grown men hiding in a small room, watching a small video of three sexy beauties in tight leather suits,

This sense of déjà vu, no matter how you think about it, feels a bit wrong...

However, Naoki Nagayama watched with great interest,

"So that's how it ends~ The Cat's Eye sisters still didn't reveal their true faces in front of Toshio Utsumi!"

"Yeah, in the end, we still wanted to maintain some mystery~ After all, urban legends like Cat's Eye are better kept mysterious~"

Shuichi Yin Tang said this, but in fact, the final ending was originally intended to unfold in Germany, but after consideration, he gave up.

Naoki Nagayama said, "If you shoot it like this, does Yin Tang-san want to shoot a sequel?"

"According to the current broadcast rate, I do have this idea~"

Sigh~ a sequel~ There aren't many good IPs that can produce good sequels. This point depends on Shuichi Yin Tang's ability,

"Then Yin Tang-san, good luck~"

"Hmm, but didn't Otomo-san say earlier that you were going to find someone for graffiti?"

"Hai, to make some preparations for the scene in Nagano. The Suzuran High School in "Crows Zero" needs some atmosphere, but I've already thought of a way."

"Then are you going in the afternoon? I was just thinking of going to see it together."

"Sure, let's go together after I find someone this afternoon~"

Shuichi Yin Tang nodded and asked again, "Then for now, does Naoki-san want to go with me to send the sample tape to Tokyo TV? It's the finale, and Naoki-san doesn't seem to have been to Tokyo TV~"

Seeing that it was only 10:30, Naoki Nagayama asked, "Is Yin Tang-san going to send it directly?"

"Hmm, I'm very familiar with it. After sending it, we can just have a meal~"

It seemed Shuichi Yin Tang wanted to use treating him to a meal to compensate for his shame of lingering outside. Naoki Nagayama naturally nodded.

Shiba Park, where Tokyo Tower is located, is the location of the Tokyo TV headquarters.

This radio tower, built in imitation of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, is currently the tallest building in Tokyo.

Naoki Nagayama looked at the red and white tower from bottom to top and raised his hand to block the sunlight, "It's really tall. Speaking of which, I really haven't come to see it."

Shuichi Yin Tang got out of the car next to him and joked, "Doesn't Naoki-san travel often? You haven't even been to such a landmark building?"

"I still prefer natural scenery~" Naoki Nagayama smiled, "As for Tokyo Tower, I don't have any special obsession~"

The two chatted as they walked toward the headquarters of Tokyo TV, and then Shuichi Yin Tang communicated with the front desk very familiarly, and soon they got on the elevator.

"Kotaro Sakai from the Production Bureau is the program producer we've been connecting with before." Shuichi Yin Tang introduced to Naoki Nagayama, "He's a quite old-fashioned guy, but surprisingly very easy to talk to."

"So that's how it is~" Naoki Nagayama asked curiously, "Is he the one who decided to buy this show?"

"Hai, after seeing the sample tape of the first episode, he made the decision."

"Very decisive~" Naoki Nagayama muttered, but suddenly thought of a super long-running program, "If it's Tokyo TV, considering creating "Midnight Diner" or "Solitary Gourmet" next time seems pretty good too."

Naoki Nagayama didn't actually recall these two programs, but as long as he knew the program format and found suitable guests to perform, it wasn't actually very difficult.

"Naoki-san, what did you say?" Shuichi Yin Tang didn't hear his whispered words clearly, "We're almost there."

"Ah, nothing, just hungry~"

"What's that, we're about to meet the person in charge on the other side, Naoki-san, you have to cheer up!"

Shuichi Yin Tang looked at his president with hatred for not being able to live up to expectations, very worried about the meeting later.

The elevator door opened. After passing through a glass door, Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Yin Tang came to a medium-sized office, where two or three people were working behind desks inside.

"Sakai-san?"

A thin, middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a crisp suit raised his head. After seeing the two, he hurriedly stood up to welcome them, "Yin Tang-san, you're here!"

"Hai, I'm here to send the preview tape of the last episode!" Shuichi Yin Tang walked to the side of the desk and introduced to Kotaro Sakai, "Sakai-san, this is the president of our Tree Friend Film—Naoki Nagayama. He came with me today."

"Naoki-san, this is the director of the Production Bureau of Tokyo TV—Kotaro Sakai."

"Hai, nice to meet you, I am Naoki Nagayama, please take care of me." Naoki Nagayama was already used to the cumbersome first-meeting etiquette and bowed slightly to show his sincerity.

"Ah, nice to meet you, I am Kotaro Sakai." After Kotaro Sakai bowed, he adjusted his glasses, "However, I have heard Naoki Nagayama's name quite a few times."

"Hahahaha, I hope it's not because of scandals..." Naoki Nagayama responded with a smile. Currently, he had many reputations, but being a playboy occupied a large part of them.

"Of course not. President Nagayama's talent for composition, talent for directing, and talent for writing are even more amazing!" Kotaro Sakai showed a gentle smile on his face. He was clearly easy to get along with; where was he old-fashioned?

"Hahahaha, Sakai-san is too complimentary~"

After exchanging pleasantries with Naoki Nagayama, Kotaro Sakai said to Shuichi Yin Tang, "Since the preview tape has been brought, let's go watch it!"

"Hai! Please~"

Under the leadership of Kotaro Sakai, the two who left Tree Friend Film, as well as several people from Tokyo TV, all came to the conference room, and then Naoki Nagayama watched the finale again.

Kotaro Sakai in the front was not chatting now, but instead holding a small notebook, recording something while watching.

"Yin Tang-san, who is he?" Naoki Nagayama asked in a low voice.

"Hai, revision opinions. Every time, Sakai will put forward some opinions, and then issue a receipt, which both sides need to sign."

"That's really rigid." So the old-fashionedness is here!

More than an hour of review, the relevant opinions filled a whole sheet of paper. It looked like he was really watching it seriously.

"Yin Tang-san, sorry for the trouble!" After Kotaro Sakai finished communicating the adjustments with Shuichi Yin Tang, he said to Naoki Nagayama, "Naoki-san, this is your first time at Tokyo TV, right? I'll take you for a tour~"

Leaving work, he became a kind uncle again~

Tokyo TV is one of the five core TV stations in Japan, and its headquarters is naturally not small. Studios, lounges, workrooms, and administrative areas could all see busy staff.

"There are only a small number of programs being recorded in the studio now. Our main programs are outdoors and animation." Kotaro Sakai said, "Late-night dramas like "Cat's Eye" are also rare."

Just as he was saying this, Naoki Nagayama actually smelled a fragrance of food, and his stomach, which was approaching noon, growled at an inappropriate time,

"Hahahaha, I'm hungry~" Naoki Nagayama made the famous statement of the Solitary Gourmet, "But Sakai-san, are they actually cooking in the studio?"

"Hai, it should be a cooking variety show." Kotaro Sakai said, and then pushed open the door of the studio.

Sure enough, inside were some guests participating in a cooking program. To be precise, it was a head chef directing several guests to cook... Looking at the head chef's serious expression, one knew that the guests' cooking skills still needed a lot of effort!

However, after Naoki Nagayama walked in, he saw a familiar figure at a glance,

He whispered in surprise: "Akina-chan?"

After going around in circles, he actually met her here~

The movement of opening the door still slightly attracted the attention of the people in the studio,

However, most of them just took a look and returned to the recording state,

But Akina Nakamori, who was adding salt to the soup pot, was stunned after seeing the person who came in from the door,

Her eyes immediately widened in surprise, and the exclamation in her mouth almost came out!

It was actually Naoki Nagayama, who had appeared in her mind many times!

"Ms. Nakamori! You put in too much salt!" The head chef's scolding interrupted Akina Nakamori's fantasy. Looking closely, she had actually put half a spoonful of salt into the soup pot!

"Yabai!..." Her specialty cooking had actually been recorded in a moment of error! ===== CHAPTER 380 =====

"Yabai!..." The cooking skills I was so proud of were actually recorded at the moment of a mistake!
