Chapter 473: You're about to drool! Wipe it off quickly!

When Otomo Yoshimura just started work, he was found in his office by the receptionist, Jia Hua:

"Otomo-san, there is a Mr. Etsuro Kikuchi in the conference room waiting for you. He says it was scheduled."

"Ah, I see~"

Otomo Yoshimura patted his head with a headache. He had clearly already told this guy over the phone, but he actually found the studio today.

Ever since he drew a big pie for Etsuro Kikuchi, this guy had been quiet for a while, but recently he had started to get anxious again. He had tried to invite him to dinner many times, but Otomo Yoshimura had refused.

"Otomo-san!" Etsuro Kikuchi in the conference room stood up very enthusiastically to shake hands. "It's been a long time."

Otomo Yoshimura also put forward an official reason: "Haha, I've been busy with the debut of a new idol recently, so I've been quite busy."

This was not wrong. The debut offensive of Chikako Aoyama was being carried out intensively, and as the chief manager, Otomo Yoshimura had to care about everything.

"When you are tired, you should also pay attention to relaxation. Combining work and rest is the right way!" Etsuro Kikuchi still smiled. "When you have time, let's go out for a drink together and relax!"

"Hahaha, if I have time, I definitely will!" The polite exchanges between adults are like this~

After the pleasantries, Otomo Yoshimura didn't want to waste time: "Yue-lang-san, you came here specifically today, is it...?"

"Ah, isn't it about the idol group operation company?" Etsuro Kikuchi said. "Ever since the company was registered, I feel like there has been no progress?"

Etsuro Kikuchi had resigned from his position at the Burning Agency and devoted himself to the new company. However, the venue was rented, the shell company was registered, but there was no news about the next program...

"Hmm, I communicated with Naoki Nagayama before. Currently, we have just signed a framework cooperation agreement with Fuji TV, and there is also a share transfer agreement..." Otomo Yoshimura said. "Now we only have 10% of the shares of that company. Besides the 20% of Yasushi Akimoto and the 20% of Yue-lang-san now, Fuji TV now occupies 50%!"

"Eh? Such a big thing? Why wasn't I notified in advance?!" This was a change in the actual controlling rights of the company!

"Yue-lang-san, because if we didn't sign, Fuji TV would have established a shell company itself and prepared a program like *Twilight Meow Meow*!" Otomo Yoshimura was also helpless. "Yue-lang-san has been in the entertainment industry for so long, you should know about similar things."

"Uh..."

Etsuro Kikuchi had nothing to say. Not only did he know, but relying on the monopolistic status of the Burning Agency, he himself had done many similar things.

"So now, is Fuji TV pushing it forward?"

"Hmm, they sent a producer to serve as the general person in charge of the program, and he is also the chairman of the company." Otomo Yoshimura said. "Maybe he is handing over the affairs on his hands. He should call together several relevant people this week to officially launch this program."

"Is that so..."

Etsuro Kikuchi actually didn't care who had the control. Anyway, it wouldn't reach him. He just wanted to ensure the smooth development of the project so that he could have a qualification to turn over.

"Where is Naoki-san now? What ideas does he have for the program?"

Otomo Yoshimura thought for a while: "Naoki-san should be filming a movie in Kyoto now, but he will definitely come back this week."

"So that's it. Naoki-san is really busy! *Crows Zero* is still showing, and he has already started the next one."

"Haha, a small company. If we don't hurry up, there will be no way to survive."

Seeing that the purpose of coming today had been completed, Etsuro Kikuchi continued to chat with Otomo Yoshimura about miscellaneous things, and then ended today's visit in a friendly atmosphere.

After sending the person away, the concerned Riko Hayano leaned over and asked: "Otomo-san, is Etsuro Kikuchi-san still here for the Cat's Eye Sisters?"

"Ah, he doesn't pay much attention to the Cat's Eye Sisters now, mainly for a variety show." Otomo Yoshimura seemed to think of something. "Riko-chan, you are currently following up on the promotion plans of the four artists under our name, right? How is it? Can you handle the workload?"

"Hai, currently it is mainly the promotional activities of Chikako Aoyama. Junko-chan, Yuki-chan, and the Cat's Eye Sisters have all entered a stable state, and the workload is relatively small," Riko Hayano said.

"Hmm, that's good. However, Riko-chan, for the next month or two, slow down the activities of the Cat's Eye Sisters."

It couldn't be said casually before it was decided, but now that the agreement had been signed, naturally there was no problem.

"Afterward, there will be a program called *Twilight Meow Meow*. At the beginning, we need the Cat's Eye Sisters as a gimmick. For the rest of the time until the end of the year, it should be this program."

"Eh?" Riko Hayano was surprised.

"I'll show you the program planning later." Otomo Yoshimura said as he walked into the office, while still saying, "This is Naoki-san's idea."

And Naoki Nagayama, who was hung on Otomo Yoshimura's mouth, had already arrived at the library of Otaru High School early with the crew at this time.

"It's morning now, the best time for light!" Naoki Nagayama said to Kijima Xu. "We have to capture the shots we want most between 8 and 9 o'clock."

Yes, Naoki Nagayama wanted to film the most classic scene in *Love Letter*, which was the scene where Fujii Itsuki was reading by the window!

"Self-indulgently wanting to film myself very handsomely, I feel a bit ashamed..."

Naoki Nagayama was also a bit embarrassed when explaining the play. Fortunately, there were only the crew, two leads, and a little assistant in the library today. Fusahori Akio was writing some plans in the room.

Akina Mori covered her mouth and stole a laugh: "Naoki-san, rest assured, we won't tell anyone!"

"I'll film Akina later too! Film you looking fascinated, about to drool!" Naoki Nagayama didn't spare her. "Coveting the beauty of Fujii Itsuki, who is the lead!"

"What! Naoki-san, don't be narcissistic!"

Akina didn't hold back, and was about to "theorize" with Naoki Nagayama properly.

Kijima Xu, who was the crew, looked at his nose and heart, pretending not to see everything in front of him, and focused on adjusting the camera.

On the other side, the little assistant couldn't bear to look at it, and roared in her heart: "Can you two pay attention! In this situation, anyone can see that you two are not right!"

However, after the fuss, it was time to start filming.

With the help of the morning sun and the electric fan in the library, the golden sunlight and the flying curtains were all ready. Naoki Nagayama walked to the window with a book and began to pose.

"Action!" Kijima Xu had already called it very skillfully. With one sound, the entire library became quiet instantly.

Under the pale golden sunlight,

The handsome boy leaned against the window,

Reading the book in his hand attentively.

The white gauze curtains fluttered gently in the breeze,

Occasionally covering the boy's face, but making the boy appear even more dreamy...

Handsome, clean, innocent, just like the dream lover of thousands of girls.

The film of the camera kept rotating, recording all this unforgettable scene. And Akina Mori and Maki Ueda, who were watching on the side, really opened their eyes wide, wanting to remember this scene in their hearts.

After waiting for a while, Naoki Nagayama, who hadn't heard the call to cut, raised his eyes to look at the camera:

"Not done yet?"

Kijima Xu nodded hurriedly. "I don't know how long Naoki-san wants to film..."

"It's about time, wait and change the lens."

"Hai!"

While Kijima Xu was processing, Naoki Nagayama walked to Akina's side: "Akina, you're about to drool! Wipe it off quickly!"

Akina Mori subconsciously wiped the corners of her mouth, and so did the little assistant, and then realized she had been teased.

"Humph, Naoki-san, I found that you must have lied to me before!"

Naoki Nagayama was curious: "What did I lie to you about?"

Akina Mori said in a tone that Watson discovered a blind spot: "Naoki-san said he was unpopular in high school. That must be fake! A lie!"

"Eh?"

"Clearly so handsome, are the girls in Shizuoka High School blind?" Akina said aggressively. "There is only one truth! There must be some unknown reason!

So... did Naoki-san have plastic surgery?!"

"..." Naoki Nagayama gave a flick to the head. "What are you thinking about all day long!"

"Ah! It hurts!"

In the morning, Naoki Nagayama directly finished filming all the scenes in the library.

With the future movie screen as a reference, he only had to consider the acting skills of the actors, and with the reference, even the guidance was very accurate.

Such a fast filming progress made Akina Mori, who was acting in a movie for the first time, feel incredible:

"Naoki-san, it feels like filming a movie is faster than filming a magazine!"

Generally speaking, filming a magazine cover takes at least half a day!

Those photographers always have to adjust this and that, a little less emotion here, a little more emotion there... Anyway, in the end, they still pick from hundreds of pictures.

"As long as you have the picture in your mind in advance, it will be fast." Naoki Nagayama said modestly. "It's just that I'm a bit special."

"Anyway, it's amazing!" Akina nodded her small head. "Then is it outdoors next?"

"Hai, the next few plots all need to be filmed outdoors." Naoki Nagayama said. "But maybe we have to come into contact with the students. Akina, there's no problem, right?"

"Should be..." Akina remembered the trick of performing at school before. "Naoki-san, anyway, it's better to communicate with the teachers first and let them maintain order!"

This was experience: "Hmm, definitely!"

Sure enough, after communicating with the school teachers, they also enthusiastically helped maintain order, and even organized the students, saying they wanted to observe how the movie was filmed.

The students lined up in the teaching building saw Akina Mori in a school uniform at close range and recognized her immediately.

Bursts of exclamations rang out at the scene:

"That's Akina Mori!" "Akina-chan came to our school!" "Akina! Akina!" "Akina Saiko!"

The sound was mixed with a few:

"Who is that man? He looks familiar?" "Seems to be Naoki Nagayama!" "Are Naoki Nagayama and Akina Mori acting in a movie together?!" "Shouldn't Akina be filming with Yan-yan? Golden boy and jade girl!"

If it were an era with mobile phones and the internet in the future, such a revelation might have rushed to the Weibo hot search within an hour!

But in this era, everyone could only talk about it with friends~

The crew didn't care too much about the students' discussion. In the eyes of everyone, they filmed the scenes in the school corridor and the bicycle shed with ease.

"Next is the scene with a paper bag over the head. Can Akina ride a bike?"

"Of course!" Akina Mori's small face was full of pride. "I'm even going to take the driver's license for a car!"

"... Really amazing~"

Naoki Nagayama didn't know what was so proud about taking a driver's license, but at this time, it was better to follow the little girlfriend's emotions!

When you focus on doing one thing, time will become very fast.

For the remaining time, Naoki Nagayama took Akina to wander around the streets and alleys of Otaru, under the guise of looking for scenes for the next filming.

Fusahori Akio and Maki Ueda, who were left behind, looked at each other,

"Fusahori-san, these two guys are too much! Don't you want to persuade Akina-chan?"

Fusahori Akio sighed: "What can I do? They have a legitimate reason! The three manager predecessors of Akina-chan didn't stop Naoki Nagayama. Now that the wood is already a boat, what can I do?"

"But, now the two of them are openly dating in front of others!" Maki Ueda said indignantly. "Aren't they afraid of being caught by the paparazzi? What if it's exposed?!"

Fusahori Akio patted Maki Ueda on the shoulder: "Maki-chan, this is Otaru City, a cold and remote small town. There aren't that many paparazzi! Even the local newspapers don't have it."

"Also, those camera crews who are with Naoki Nagayama are all guys who don't smile and are unknown! They won't reveal it either!"

"So, they won't be discovered!"

After Maki Ueda heard this, she suddenly reacted: "Fusahori-san, do you mean that Naoki Nagayama specifically found such a small city and specifically prepared this opportunity?! Just to be able to date Akina openly?"

Fusahori Akio nodded: "You know now why the predecessors all said Naoki Nagayama is cunning! I suspect that many previous encounters were arranged in advance!"

"Eh? Is he really that thoughtful?!" Maki Ueda exclaimed.

"???" Fusahori Akio looked at the little assistant incredibly. Why is your thought a bit wrong? "Maki-chan, don't you think it's scary?"

"It's okay~" Maki Ueda recalled Naoki Nagayama's handsome face. "If there was a boy who was so thoughtful to me, more of it should be moved!"

"..." Fusahori Akio was speechless~

On the other side, Naoki Nagayama, who had shaken off his followers, took Akina Mori, who had changed into casual clothes, and strolled on the retro-style Otaru old street.

"Naoki-san, is that library the place where we are going to film next time?" Akina Mori, who didn't know why she was holding an ice cream cone, pointed to a library that looked very old and asked.

"Hmm, next time we should come over to film some shots, but not many."

Although Fujii Itsuki's job in *Love Letter* is a library administrator, there are very few places that truly reflect the working environment,

"More, we might go to another city, Kobe."

"I'm going to play another person!"

Akina Mori asked: "Eh? Is Itsuki (the heroine Hiroko's second boyfriend) also played by Naoki-san?"

"Yeah! Can't I play Akina's lover?" Naoki Nagayama's next sentence had a bit of male chauvinism. "What's more, I don't want anyone else to kiss Akina in the movie!"

The little girlfriend twisted. Having read the script, she naturally knew that there were kissing scenes in the movie. She originally thought it would be a borrowed position or something: "It's not that I can't, but... are they completely different people?"

"Hmm, when you grow up, there will naturally be changes." He had complete confidence in the four major Asian evils. "As long as you make a little change, no one will recognize you!"

Naoki Nagayama looked at Akina's baby-fat face: "However, Akina also needs a little change!"

"? What change?"

Secretly reaching out to Akina's face, he quickly pinched the baby fat: "To reflect maturity, the baby fat on Akina's face needs to be reduced a little!"

Saying this, Naoki Nagayama took advantage of the little girlfriend's inattention and snatched her ice cream cone: "So I will eliminate the remaining ice cream for Akina!"

Akina, who reacted, stomped her feet in shame and anger: "Naoki-san!!! How can you be like this!"

Then she reached out to defend her ice cream cone: "Give it back to me~~"

"Akina, this is a sacrifice necessary for the movie!" Naoki Nagayama held the ice cream cone high, quickly dodged Akina's pursuit, and then quickly took a bite. "This ice cream cone is now mine!"

"Ah~~"

The little girlfriend chased the hateful man with teeth and claws, but because of the height difference, she was never able to succeed, and that ice cream cone was slowly eaten up by the man~

The two were like young lovers in high school, playing and making trouble on the street.

The bosses of the Otaru shopping street occasionally cast an inquiring look, and after seeing this scene, it turned into a look with memories and admiration~

Youth, it's so good!

Feeling that everyone doesn't like the part about Masahiko Kondo, I changed it, and simply didn't write about him~ ===== CHAPTER 474 =====
