Chapter 38: Scumbag, Kondo Masahiko appears!

Nagayama Naoki had been there for quite a while, chatting with Ido Shuichi for more than half an hour, but the newcomer still hadn't arrived.

"It is said that the replacement candidate this time is an idol newly promoted by Johnny's." Ido Shuichi said, "In this peach soda advertisement, the new manager asked me to give this newcomer some 'preferential treatment'.

To be late for the first filming..."

"Is that so? Johnny's agency, sure enough, big agencies will all act like big shots~" Nagayama Naoki didn't care. Anyway, there was nothing to do, and chatting with Ido Shuichi was not bad.

"But how is Otomo-san? Losing the advertisement business is also a loss for STARLIGHT agency, right." Nagayama Naoki remembered Funamura Otomo, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He seemed very busy when they talked on the phone before.

"What could happen? STARLIGHT agency is BURNING-affiliated after all. Johnny's wanting to pick peaches exchanged a large batch of cooperation for the agency." Ido Shuichi waved his hand,

"Now Otomo-san is busy contacting announcements for the agency's newcomers."

Sure enough, having a backer is different, even if the opponent grabs business, there is an interest exchange.

STARLIGHT agency can be said to have obtained a part of brand-new channels. If Johnny's doesn't let go, then with its energy in the entertainment industry, basically no one can take these channels away.

"Haha, dirty back-door deals~" Nagayama Naoki hated such complex relationships the most. Fortunately, he was destined to be rich in this life, so he had much more room for choice regarding these interest relationships.

"The entertainment industry is like this!" Ido Shuichi sighed.

Ido Shuichi and Nagayama Naoki continued to chat,

However, the candidate who agreed to replace him to film the advertisement was late, which made this newly promoted famous director a bit angry.

Until another half an hour passed, a white Toyota sedan drove to the studio, and the manager in a black suit brought a young man into the room.

"Ido-san, sorry, we were late because of a traffic jam~" The manager bowed deeply as soon as they met, looking very skilled, while the young man behind him watched from the side.

Facing outsiders, Ido Shuichi returned to the way he was when he first met Nagayama Naoki.

He said with a straight face: "Matsuzawa Masayoshi-san, traffic jams should have been anticipated in advance."

At this time, Matsuzawa Masayoshi was complaining in his heart: "It was definitely anticipated, but what can I do if the idol insists on shopping..."

"Hai, sumimasen, this is my mistake!" It is very normal for a manager to take the blame for an artist, and he bowed again, but this was the first time Nagayama Naoki saw it.

"I hope Ido-san doesn't mind~ We will definitely participate in the filming on time in the future!"

Matsuzawa Masayoshi let the young man behind him out,

"This is Kondo Masahiko, the idol participating in the advertisement filming this time. He has appeared in '3-nen B-gumi Kinpachi-sensei' before..."

Kondo Masahiko! The scumbag of the century?!

Nagayama Naoki suddenly became interested. Is this the big boss of the scumbag world who is known for scumbagging three divas and having countless scandals?

Kondo Masahiko, wearing a white tracksuit, bowed to Ido Shuichi and asked for greetings: "Nice to meet you, I am Kondo Masahiko, please take care of me."

Ido Shuichi didn't say anything else, led the few people into the studio with a cold face.

Seeing Kondo Masahiko for the first time,

Nagayama Naoki felt that he was just an ordinary young man, at most he didn't look annoying, and if he dressed up, he could try to be a little handsome.

He really didn't see the potential of a scumbag,

and he hadn't paid much attention to his life journey before...

Before filming, Ido Shuichi also introduced Nagayama Naoki, and Kondo Masahiko also greeted him ordinarily.

The story of the filming was not complicated, there were no scenes between the two,

overall it was an ordinary cooperative relationship after meeting once.

Nagayama Naoki was still in the image of the last advertisement, bought a bottle of cherry blossom soda at the convenience store vending machine, and said a line: "White peach flavor?" His task as a leading role was almost finished.

After that, Kondo Masahiko appeared, bought white peach soda, and then it was a white peach youth story again. The general process was the young man's green emotions, the peach promise, etc., forcibly linking white peach and youth love.

Do the people in these creative companies have no new ideas? Copying the last advertisement's creativity? At least look at the difference in the meaning of peaches and cherry blossoms...

Nagayama Naoki, who was watching the filming on the side, watched Ido Shuichi start to NG again and again.

"CUT, Kondo-kun, the process between seeing the soda and picking it up needs an emotional transition!"

"Kondo-kun, the smile of memory needs to be full of nostalgia!"

"Kondo-kun, the eyes need to be more full of emotion!"

"Kondo-kun, this time is even worse than before, cheer up!"

Kondo Masahiko was only 17 years old, and the repeated NGs obviously made him unable to control his emotions.

The experienced manager Matsuzawa Masayoshi obviously saw that something was wrong and came to Ido Shuichi's side to request:

"Ido-san, why don't we rest for a while, and let Masahiko-san adjust."

Ido Shuichi didn't say yes or no, but said: "I'm craving a cigarette, I'll go smoke one, Naoki-san come with me~"

The staff in the studio should also relax.

Ido Shuichi and Nagayama Naoki chatted outside.

"Shuichi-san, didn't you say Kondo Masahiko filmed before? Why does his acting feel so stiff?" Nagayama Naoki was a bit puzzled.

Even without professional training, his previous filming process, except for the multi-emotional explosion of the car accident, was quite smooth.

"Most of the TV dramas played by these young idols are idol dramas suitable for their own age and personality.

Just read the lines, and don't let the expression collapse."

Ido Shuichi was very disdainful,

"Later, rely on the agency to operate and promote, and the heat will be hyped up. If it's acting, how many traffic idols can contribute a TV drama with acting skills?"

"Eh? Then there are still so many idols filming advertisements, don't advertisements need acting skills?"

"Originally, ordinary advertisements don't need it, just smile and read the lines~" Ido Shuichi was a bit helpless, "But this time it's also about interpreting a story! Interpreting a good story in a few minutes is harder than some TV dramas~"

"Speaking of which, Naoki-san actually has a lot of acting talent. The previous filming was very smooth~" Ido Shuichi said,

"And it's not inferior to the professional actor Higuchi Kanako."

"Hahaha, Shuichi-san is too complimentary, it's the famous director who guided well~" Nagayama Naoki laughed loudly.

"Hahaha, where where, Naoki-san's talent is the final thing. If you film in the future, I will definitely look for Naoki-san~" A famous director made Ido Shuichi happy.

"Fortunately, the producer this time is not my name, whatever, it's fine to just pass~" Ido Shuichi was no longer obsessed with perfection.

The depressed mood during the previous filming process relaxed a lot.

At the same time, Matsuzawa Masayoshi was persuading Kondo Masahiko:

"Masahiko-san, please work harder. This opportunity was won by Johnny's at a great cost~"

"I've acted so seriously, and NG'd so many times, that director is clearly making things difficult for me! He must be dissatisfied with the business adjustment!" Kondo Masahiko was indignant.

Having acted in 2 TV dramas, released a record last year, and released a single in March this year, Kondo Masahiko can be said to be a rising star. At only 17 years old, becoming famous at a young age is what this kind of person is.

Matsuzawa Masayoshi looked at the young and energetic Kondo Masahiko and worried silently in his heart: "Idols pushed out by capital are very easy to get lost..."

He could only comfort him again: "Masahiko-san, please be patient. The director's difficulty also has a bottom line and won't be too excessive."

However, Kondo Masahiko was in a fit of anger, and the more he was comforted, the more energetic he became: "And that guy named Nagayama Naoki, he has been watching the NG on the side, he must be very proud! How dare he watch my joke! I'll make him look good later~"

Heh, Nagayama Naoki was held a grudge just like that...

Under Matsuzawa Masayoshi's constant persuasion, Kondo Masahiko finally adjusted his mentality before re-filming.

Although there were many NGs in the subsequent filming, it still proceeded bumpily.

It is said that the advertisement is to be filmed for 3 minutes. After the first scene, there is still an outdoor scene with Kondo Masahiko and a certain youth idol.

Presumably the subsequent filming process will be very arduous. ===== CHAPTER 39 =====
