Chapter 451: Playboy Naoki get out of the entertainment industry?
The faint morning light shone in through the window screen. Naoki Nagayama's eyelids on the bed moved slightly, and then he pulled the thin quilt up, covering his face... he didn't want to get up, and Eitaro would come over soon~
But it wasn't Eitaro's face-washing service that woke him up today, but the phone by the bed suddenly rang!
"Who is it, actually calling so early..." Naoki Nagayama picked up the phone in a bad mood. Even if he didn't have a morning temper in general, he was very unhappy at this time. "Moxi moxi, this is Shanyingyuan!"
"Naoki-san! Have you seen today's newspaper?!" Dayou Fangcun's somewhat urgent voice came from the receiver. "The front page of the newspaper!"
It looked like it was indeed an urgent matter. Naoki Nagayama gradually woke up: "Not yet... just woke up."
"Then get up quickly!" Dayou Fangcun said quickly, "I'll wait for you at the studio!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Naoki Nagayama was a bit confused listening to the beep in the receiver. What exactly happened...
Eitaro, who rushed into the bedroom after hearing the movement, saw that his owner had already gotten up and wanted to add today's face-washing service, but was pushed away by Naoki Nagayama: "Already up, still want to spit on my face?"
Eitaro, who didn't succeed, turned around at the door a bit disappointed, watching his owner start to wash up.
Naoki Nagayama, who went downstairs, first went to the mailbox to get today's milk and newspaper. He wanted to see what the big deal was that made Dayou Fangcun call early in the morning.
The front page headline of the newspaper was actually this headline, and the picture was the figure of Naoki Nagayama and Yuko Tianzhong walking side by side on the old street of Shimofuri Ginza yesterday.
"Sure enough, I don't know where the paparazzi will appear..." Naoki Nagayama sighed and continued to read.
He originally thought it was just an ordinary scandal, but what Naoki Nagayama didn't expect was that the tone of this report was actually very serious.
Yuko Tianzhong had become a nationally famous star because of the role of Oshin, while Naoki Nagayama had just been exposed to a scandal not long ago, plus the previous rumors between Yuko Tianzhong and Kenji Sawada,
The report actually began to implicitly blame the private morality of Yuko Tianzhong and Naoki Nagayama, and implicitly suggested whether they should continue to stay in show business.
"If it were in the future, having a scandal with a national actor, should it be 'Playboy Naoki get out of the entertainment industry'?"
"Fortunately, it's in the Japanese entertainment industry, which is very friendly to male artists' scandals~"
Naoki Nagayama touched his chin, clearly feeling the problem in this report. Normally, if you want to report the news of a well-known artist, you at least need to say hello to the agency first.
Although for someone like Naoki Nagayama, his fame is not too high, and it's just a small scandal, forget it. But for a level like Yuko Tianzhong, how could it be issued without saying hello?
"There must be a ghost here!"
Looking at the photo in the newspaper, Naoki Nagayama was not worried at all, because there was no so-called intimate contact at all, and they didn't even hold hands. Just talking and laughing alone didn't count as intimacy.
And they were in a public place, and they had a legitimate reason. As long as they issued a press release, it would be almost fine.
However...
"What about Akina... she should still be in Hokkaido at this time..."
Naoki Nagayama thought of his girlfriend far away first~
Her boyfriend having scandals continuously is really speechless!
Taking a pager out of his pocket, Naoki Nagayama dialed a page directly.
In the hotel in Hokkaido, the thick curtains only left a slit, allowing light to enter.
On the spacious double bed, a layer of thick hair was scattered between the thick quilt and the pillow, and even the head could not be seen.
The sound of beep beep on the bedside table seemed to wake up the creature in the middle of the quilt. After a struggle, a confused bare face poked out from the quilt, and then reached out to take the pager on the bed.
"Naoki-san? Shanyingyuan's number." Akina Nakamori reacted for a while and woke up. "Calling me so early? Is there anything important?"
The morning in Hokkaido was still a bit cool. Akina Nakamori immediately wrapped herself in the quilt and sat up, and then dialed back with the phone in the room.
Naoki Nagayama was eating bread slices while answering the receiver:
"Akina, are you up?"
"Naoki-san..." Hearing the voice in the receiver that didn't seem to be in a hurry, and seemed to be eating, Akina Nakamori chuckled. "Naoki-san, are you calling to wake me up?"
Naoki Nagayama smiled: "Haha, did Akina just wake up? But I was also woken up by a phone call today."
Hearing this, Akina Nakamori also became curious: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"Ah, Akina will know in a while~" Naoki Nagayama didn't want to say it himself, that another scandal broke out or something, it was too shameful. "In short, when you know, remember, that's not true~"
"... Speaking mysteriously." Akina Nakamori was confused by this call. "Can't you tell me directly?"
"Can't say it~" Naoki Nagayama finished the bread. "In short, just give Akina a vaccination first."
"... Wu..."
Hearing that the other side seemed a bit speechless, Naoki Nagayama immediately changed the topic: "Akina is already at the last stop, right? Coming back the day after tomorrow?"
"Hi, the activities in Hokkaido are about to end. After that, until the end of the year, most of the time should be in Tokyo." Top artists have to run all over the country, but at the end of the year, large-scale activities are concentrated in Tokyo.
"I heard that you are going to the Red and White Song Festival this year, right?" This was heard from Yuko Tianzhong yesterday.
"Naoki-san knew so early?" Akina Nakamori was a bit surprised. She had just learned the inside news herself.
"Just asked a friend." Naoki Nagayama replied. "My Akina is really amazing, she can go to the Red and White Song Festival one year after her debut!"
"Haha, that goes without saying!"
When there are no outsiders, Akina Nakamori is actually a very cheerful character. She will be very happy when praised.
Although she wanted to chat for a while longer, Naoki Nagayama here was in a hurry to go to the studio:
"When you come back, celebrate for Akina!"
"Hi~"
"Although there are many things I want to say, wait until I come back. I have urgent matters now, I have to rush to the company first."
"Eh?" Akina was a bit surprised, but still said very understandingly: "Okay~ If there are urgent matters, there is no way~ See you when you come back~"
"Akina... Totemo daisuki! (I like you the most~)"
Akina Nakamori, who put down the phone, was full of smiles, and the whole person came alive.
Although she was woken up by a page in the morning and heard a baffling call from her boyfriend, she was very happy to be liked at the end~
When she walked to the restaurant of the hotel after washing up, the accompanying manager was already eating breakfast downstairs, and was still discussing something very enthusiastically.
Maki Ueda was very surprised to see Akina Nakamori: "Akina-chan, why did you get up so early today?"
"I woke up when I was full!" Akina Nakamori took some buffet breakfast very energetically and walked over. "What are you chatting about?"
"This..."
Maki Ueda was a bit hesitant. After all, she also knew the relationship between Naoki Nagayama and her idol, but Fusunori Mingxing was very hopeful that his idol Akina Nakamori would break up with that playboy as soon as possible. He directly took the newspaper over:
"In today's newspaper, the scandal of Yuko Tianzhong-san was reported, the scandal target..."
"Yuko Tianzhong?"
One is an actor and one is an idol. They don't know each other deeply, just familiar faces. However, Akina Nakamori also knows Yuko Tianzhong's fame now. Her scandal must be the most concerned.
Akina Nakamori took the newspaper with curiosity, only to see in the obvious photo, Yuko Tianzhong was shopping with the scandal target...
That scandal target was Naoki Nagayama!!!
Fusunori Mingxing and Maki Ueda were both a bit nervous looking at Akina Nakamori, and sure enough, they found that she was stunned after seeing the newspaper.
Her boyfriend having a scandal with a national actor, such a blow is enough for ordinary girls to bear!
The two looked at each other. Maki Ueda looked at Fusunori Mingxing with some blame, blaming him for not giving any vaccination, while Fusunori Mingxing was thinking about whether this would make his idol break up with that scumbag. If he could, that would be great!
However, neither of them knew that the thought that emerged in Akina Nakamori's heart at this time was another one:
"So this is what Naoki-san called to say just now!
He said it wasn't true, so it refers to this scandal?!"
Naoki Nagayama, who came to the studio, was faced with the strange eyes of the employees who arrived early.
Although everyone knew that their boss would have scandals from time to time, and had the nickname "Playboy Naoki," no one thought that he would come again in such a short time, and it was with a national actor...
Naoki Nagayama didn't pay attention, but pushed open the office door directly. Dayou Fangcun and Xiuyi Yin Tang were both there.
"Naoki-san is too careless!"
Xiuyi Yin Tang teased, his face was not too nervous. He knew that Naoki Nagayama was discussing the role of "Ring" with Yuko Tianzhong yesterday.
"Who knows that there will be paparazzi everywhere."
Naoki Nagayama shrugged and turned to ask Dayou Fangcun,
"Dayou-san, what's going on this time? Has the reason why such an article was not notified to us in advance been found out?"
Dayou Fangcun shook his head: "I have already called a friend at the newspaper office. It is not the relationship of Shochiku or other movie production manufacturers."
"In that case, is it not aimed at me?" Naoki Nagayama originally thought it was Kinji Fukasaku who made it again.
Xiuyi Yin Tang laughed: "How do you look at it, Yuko Tianzhong-san's fame is much bigger than Naoki-san's, right?"
Is it actually aimed at Yuko Tianzhong?
"Yuko-san's side... Dayou-san, have you contacted the komssift agency?"
Since it is aimed at Yuko Tianzhong, it makes no sense that her agency doesn't know. Naoki Nagayama wanted to understand the ins and outs.
"The manager over there is hesitant and can't say anything. It seems that he is unwilling to tell others." Dayou Fangcun said, "However, it is also very likely that he really doesn't know."
Xiuyi Yin Tang said at this time: "Before, Yuko Tianzhong seemed to have been exposed to rumors with Kenji Sawada. This time it is you again. Their agency's strength is not enough!"
A small agency suddenly has a popular actor, or a national actor level, there are too many open and secret arrows to face, and even large agencies will specifically promote this kind of public relations crisis, so that the artist and their own agency have estrangement, so as to poach.
When Naoki Nagayama and the others first started, they were directly snatched "Wild Cat Group" by others.
Dayou Fangcun interrupted at this time: "If there is no response, according to the current heat, cold treatment is useless."
After all, it involves a national actor, and the public's attention will not dissipate in a short time.
"Since I can't find the black hand behind the scenes, then forget it." Anyway, I can't do anything even if I find it. Naoki Nagayama decided not to look for it directly,
"Dayou-san, help contact the agency on Yuko-san's side. They should also know that Yuko-san is ready to accept the movie 'Ring'."
He looked at Xiuyi Yin Tang:
"Xiuyi-san, take advantage of this opportunity, we will directly announce the preparations for 'Ring'! We have never promoted from the preparation before filming movies, this time let's treat it as an experiment."
"Eh? Today?"
"Yeah! Isn't our script already there? Hold a media conference, directly announce that Yuko Tianzhong is participating, and then release the casting meeting."
Naoki Nagayama is not panicked at all about this point, because "Crows Zero" is in front, the box office is steadily moving towards the annual box office champion, plus the results of the previous movies, as long as the news is released, a large group of actors will come to participate.
"It's best to hold it this afternoon, and release this news in the evening newspaper of Tokyo Sports."
At that time, the heat of this scandal will become a means of promoting the new movie.
"Hi!" After Dayou Fangcun understood, he started making phone calls.
However, when Xiuyi Yin Tang heard this response measure, an old stalk about Naoki Nagayama flashed in his mind:
"Naoki-san, sure enough, for every movie, you have to make a scandal!"
"..." Do you think I want to?"
In the office building of Fuji TV, Daitai Sugiura was listening to Kazuteru Takano's training in the office:
"Look at Naoki Nagayama, this guy, he has no decency as a person behind the scenes at all! He actually caused such a big scandal again."
"Naoki-san is just a bit... in his private life."
Daitai Sugiura didn't know how to defend Naoki Nagayama. Although when contacting in private, Naoki-san is a polite guy, and he didn't show any special sweet talk to beauties like Rumi Nishi, I don't know why there are so many scandals.
"Sugiura, as the producer of the program, you should be unknown yourself, and show the program to the greatest extent!"
As an old man in the TV station, Kazuteru Takano's impression of the program producer should be like this. A guy like Naoki Nagayama who is a person in front of the stage himself, maybe very suitable for TV dramas and movies, but planning and producing a variety show is not something he should do.
"Naoki Nagayama is not suitable for the planning of variety shows."
Daitai Sugiura was anxious: "Department Head, you can't define Naoki-san casually. You know, Naoki-san is a genius in name, and has dazzling achievements in other fields!"
Kazuteru Takano wanted to refute, but as soon as he thought of Naoki Nagayama's achievements, Naoki Prize winner, Film Academy Award Best Director, gold medal lyricist and composer... suddenly a bit unable to refute.
Daitai Sugiura continued: "Moreover, 'Twilight Meow Meow' really has great potential!"
Kazuteru Takano thought for a while: "No matter what, if this program requires our Fuji TV to invest, then the controlling power must be in our hands!"
"This..."
"Sugiura, haven't you talked to Naoki Nagayama?"
"No time recently..."
"Then, hurry up. If it doesn't work, the top wants us to produce similar programs ourselves!"
"How can this be, isn't this plagiarism?"
"The program hasn't come out yet, what plagiarism!"
"But..."
"Alright, Sugiura, instead of talking to me here, it's better to go and persuade Naoki Nagayama!"
Daitai Sugiura walked out of the department head's office lost. He felt that since Fuji TV regained the triple crown of ratings, the ideas of the leadership layer of the department head had changed.
In the past, they valued their reputation in the industry, especially the reputation among producers, but now they actually have the idea of plagiarizing other people's programs in advance.
If this spreads out, which producers will discuss new plans with the TV station?
Is it possible that all programs will be planned and produced by the production bureau itself in the future?
"Sigh... how should I tell Naoki-san..." ===== CHAPTER 452 =====
