Chapter 592: How much promotion fee did Naoki-san save people?!

Naoki Nagayama returned to the studio late in the afternoon.

"Eh? Naoki-san?" Dayou Fangcun, who was about to go out, saw him, "Why are you back at this time?"

"Because the recording is finished!" Naoki Nagayama laughed, "Is Dayou-san going out?"

"Hmm, about the cooperation of a new program... TBS's, I'm going to have a drink tonight." Dayou Fangcun was waiting for Wuchun Kawano to drive over, and asked casually, "Does Naoki-san want to go together? To a high-end club in Roppongi, I heard the mama-san there is very gentle~"

"... I won't go~"

Dayou-san, please keep your voice down when you say such things. Didn't you see the receptionist, Xing Jiahua Xing, showing a look like she was looking at trash?

"Alright then~"

However, when Dayou Fangcun turned around to get some taxi vouchers from the front desk, Xing Jiahua Xing's face was full of smiles again~ Girls are really fickle~

When he walked to the editing room, Shuichi Ito, Masataka Komori, and Xu Mudao were all soaking in it.

"Naoki-san, you're here!" Xu Mudao said very enthusiastically.

"Ah, that side is finished, so I came to take a look." Naoki Nagayama patted his shoulder, then turned to Masataka Komori, "How is the trailer editing today?"

He handed the trailer of "April Story" directly to Masataka Komori, after all, this guy can already stand on his own.

"Naoki-san, the first version is already edited, you can take a look just right~" Masataka Komori skillfully took out the trailer of "April Story" and previewed it on the projector.

So Naoki Nagayama saw the scene of the heroine dusting off her clothes under the cherry blossoms flying all over the sky... the pure heroine riding a bicycle on the street under the bright sun... the moving heroine holding books in the breeze in the green wilderness...

"You kid... you put all the best shots in the feature film into one trailer!" Naoki Nagayama couldn't help laughing.

"It's a trailer, it's supposed to show the most essential side to everyone, otherwise how can it attract the audience to watch!" Masataka Komori had his own reasons.

"That's right..." Naoki Nagayama watched it once and felt there was no problem, "Wait until tomorrow or the day after, the 'Sakura' sung by Momoko Kikuchi should come out, then add this song to the background."

Then he thought of another thing: "Shuichi-san, have you talked to the Iwanami Theater side?"

"Of course~" Shuichi Ito answered, "Because it's Naoki-san's movie, the boss there is willing to consider it. But in the end, it depends on the feature film of 'April Story'."

"So, we still need a trial screening first, right?"

"Hai~"

Knowing this, Naoki Nagayama was not surprised. Anyway, those literary movie theaters have some strange persistence, and he has confidence in "April Story".

"Then let's talk after the trial screening~" Naoki Nagayama was ready to start editing, trying to complete the first film before the end of the month.

However, before working, there are still some problems:

"By the way, Shuichi-san, should the theme song of the same name for 'Love Like' also start promoting?"

Shuichi Ito answered subconsciously: "We haven't even started filming yet~"

"Baka! Of course, it's the warm-up before filming." Naoki Nagayama said, "Didn't we agree to try the movie production process of other companies once?"

This filming of "Love Like" is the first formal movie since the reorganization of Tree Friend Films, so he wants to try the conventional process once, including the opening press conference during the warm-up period, the wrap-up press conference during the filming process, the finalized press conference after editing, and then the posters, trial screenings, advertisements, etc. during the official publicity period.

In short, go through the normal movie process once, so that other conventional movies can be produced in the future.

"Ah... this."

Shuichi Ito really hasn't experienced it. When he made movies with Naoki Nagayama before, it seemed that the warm-up started from Naoki-san having a scandal with the heroine again... and then it triggered heated discussions unknowingly.

In some ways, Naoki Nagayama really saved the company too much promotion fee!

"I have to discuss it with Masataka-kun!" Shuichi Ito finally took it seriously, "And I have to communicate well with the distribution department's Zhiyan Shanshan."

"Hmm, it's time to get formal now!"

Naoki Nagayama didn't say much, and buried his head in editing.

In the Fuji TV building, the recording of "Twilight Meow Meow" has just been completed.

Tai Tai Sugiura and Yasushi Akimoto, after trying Naoki Nagayama's new ideas, began to join the cruel elimination system, and have already graduated several contestants, and then found that the ratings really started to rise again.

However, every time they listen to Naoki Nagayama's suggestions, it is like drinking poison to quench thirst. After the program falls into a bottleneck, it is easy to rely on him again.

Tai Tai Sugiura and Yasushi Akimoto are discussing the next stage of the plan in the office of the preparatory group:

"Akimoto-san, I think we should start the summer theme series next, relying on cool swimsuits to attract more LSPs."

Yasushi Akimoto disagreed: "Although LSPs really like to watch swimsuits, as far as the current situation is concerned, sweet love should be more suitable for the tone of the program! What's more, this is the cherry blossom season! Tai Tai-san, even high school students are confessing!"

"..."

Tai Tai Sugiura, who has been away from high school for a long time, was speechless. He is indeed not sensitive to this point.

Yasushi Akimoto continued: "Perhaps we can plan a theme of confessing under the cherry blossom tree, randomly interview passersby, if they are fans of the Kitten Club, we can give them a chance to confess on the spot.

We can also follow the members of the Kitten Club and interview whether they have objects of love!"

Tai Tai Sugiura hurriedly said: "No way, if the members are in love, aren't we going to graduate them?"

Yasushi Akimoto pushed his glasses, and white light flashed: "This depends on whether love is important to the members, or career is important!"

"..."

Rumi Nishi, who was listening to the two guys discussing the boundless theme seriously, patted her forehead:

"If it's so uncertain, do you want to listen to Naoki-san's opinion?"

Both of them turned their heads at the same time and stared at Rumi Nishi: "Good idea!"

Saying that, they were about to call Naoki Nagayama.

But just at this moment, the door of the preparatory group was knocked open, and the person who came in was Haruta Shangwu.

"Tai Tai-san."

"Haruta-san, why did you come suddenly?" Tai Tai Sugiura was a bit strange, but still invited him to sit down and chat together.

"Come to chat, and by the way, understand the affairs of the program 'Twilight Meow Meow'." Haruta Shangwu didn't hide it either, and said straight to the point, "Recently... your graduation has caused quite a big controversy. The planning of our 'New Word Buzzword Awards' thinks that this buzzword can be added to this sentence..."

"..." Tai Tai Sugiura, including Yasushi Akimoto who heard it, were silent.

"Graduation?" Tai Tai Sugiura was helpless, "This is just a nice way of saying it... Everyone knows that it is actually eliminated~"

"Yes, but those guys from Shogakukan and the National Freedom Society say that this word is a new meaning for an old word... Haruta Shangwu was also very helpless, "It has already spread from the entertainment industry, and in the future, graduation may also be given a new meaning in daily life... This is a very interesting phenomenon..."

He said how the planning of his program decided to make this word one of the topics of this issue.

"..." The opposite side continued to be silent.

Until Yasushi Akimoto said: "Why don't we link 'Twilight Meow Meow' with the 'New Word Buzzword Awards'? This is good for the popularity of both programs!"

"Eh? This is a good idea!" Haruta Shangwu and Tai Tai Sugiura's eyes lit up.

And this kind of interaction between variety shows can be applied to other programs... In this way, it might be possible to make the programs of Fuji TV form an organic whole!

In fact, characters in the Marvel spin-off dramas of later generations often have such practices of crossing stages~

Several people discussed the feasibility of this operation excitedly, and decided to find an opportunity to propose it to the minister.

By the end, Haruta Shangwu, who decided to include "graduation" in the buzzwords, had already left satisfied. He asked with a smile:

"Tai Tai-san, Akimoto-san, how did you think of calling elimination graduation at that time?"

"..." Yasushi Akimoto said, "Actually, it was proposed by Naoki-san first. He said that 'Twilight Meow Meow' is just a starting point. After graduating from the Kitten Club, the idol contestants will officially step into the entertainment industry."

"... Was it actually proposed by Naoki-san?" Haruta Shangwu was a bit surprised, "Then this program also has two words related to Naoki-san!"

"Eh?"

"There is also digging a hole and drilling in..."

"Ah, haha~ It's that word!"

"Yes, you have buzzwords casually." Haruta Shangwu laughed: "Naoki-san should just be a resident guest!"

"But Naoki-san's appearance fee is very expensive..."

"Eh? It seems we didn't give money..." Haruta Shangwu realized belatedly.

"Haha, Naoki-san also saved the TV station promotion fees!"

Naoki Nagayama, who didn't know he was being discussed by everyone, drove back to Shanying Yuan after editing "April Story" today.

But he didn't expect that the lights in Shanying Yuan were already on...

"This is... who came to my house?"

Naoki Nagayama drove the car into the garage, looked at Eitaro who ran over, and said, "Did Eitaro open the door for someone again?"

"Wang wang!"

Anyway, knowing that Eitaro would only open the door for a limited number of people, Naoki Nagayama didn't care too much. When he walked into the entrance, he smelled the aroma of food... If she is so virtuous...

"I'm back~"

"Welcome back~"

Akina Mori, who was busy in the kitchen, ran over, wearing an apron and holding a spatula, and showed a sweet smile at Naoki Nagayama who came back.

"Akina!" Naoki Nagayama walked up and hugged her with a smile, "Did you get off work so early today?"

"Because there are no announcements~ and the production of the next song has just begun~" Akina held the spatula in her hand, so she didn't reach out to hug, just explained softly in his arms, "So I came to see Naoki-san after work~"

Then, as if thinking of something suddenly, she turned around and left: "The kitchen is still cooking!"

"Ha~"

Naoki Nagayama followed behind with a smile, and found that Miaotaro was sitting on the center table of the open kitchen, as if looking curiously at the pot that was emitting aroma.

Before, this guy wanted to touch it with his hands, but was burned. Now he has learned to be smart and will only watch from the side.

Eitaro was drilling in and out of the kitchen with his tongue out, making Naoki Nagayama have to pull the loose skin on his neck and throw the dog out of the kitchen area.

"What are you making?" Then Naoki Nagayama rolled up his sleeves and prepared to help.

"It's almost done!" Akina Mori waved her hand to indicate that he didn't need to help, and served a little soup with a small dish, "This is the last miso soup, Naoki-san, try it~"

Naoki Nagayama took a light sip and felt a fresh taste of mushrooms coming from inside.

"Hmm, very good~ Wasn't it seaweed soup before?"

Akina showed a smile on her face: "This is a new recipe I learned specifically!"

The two chatted and laughed while putting dinner on the dining table. Because there was no prior notice, Akina didn't know when Naoki Nagayama would come back and whether he had eaten... so the dishes made were all home-cooked, such as fried meatballs, chicken curry, stir-fried vegetables, Japanese fried tofu, etc., served with white rice and pickles, which can easily soothe hungry people.

Naoki Nagayama and Akina chatted about some work during the day while eating at the dining table, and learned that Akina was about to start participating in the planning of the next single.

"For the next one, according to convention, it should be a song that tends to be rebellious." Akina had a bit of helplessness on her small face, "Actually, I want a little more other styles... otherwise I feel like I've been stereotyped!"

"One rebellious, one sweet..." Naoki Nagayama laughed, "Akina seems to be testing back and forth between black and white..."

He inexplicably thought of the strange line "I came in again, I went out again... hit me, you idiot"... If Akina was substituted, it felt even funnier~

His little girlfriend keenly felt Naoki Nagayama's malice:

"I always feel that Naoki-san is thinking of something rude!"

"Absolutely not!" Naoki Nagayama answered with a very serious face, "Then what are Akina's thoughts on the next single?"

"The song has already been planned by Yuzo Shimada... it should be seeking composition from Masayoshi Takanaka..."

"Jazz music~" Naoki Nagayama had heard of Masayoshi Takanaka's name, this guy doesn't compose for people easily, "He is hard to make an appointment with, right?"

"There should be no problem~" Akina said.

"That must be because of Akina~"

"Hehe~"

After eating and cleaning up, Naoki Nagayama and Akina leaned on the sofa watching TV. Except for music shows, variety shows in this era are blooming, and the later it gets at night, the more daring they appear.

Sometimes the two would discuss the plot in the program in a low voice.

With a soft body leaning on him, Naoki Nagayama didn't feel too much desire, only a faint warmth.

And at this moment, the phone beside the sofa suddenly rang.

"Moshi moshi, this is Shanying Yuan." Naoki Nagayama sat up straight.

"Moshi moshi, Naoki?" The voice coming from the receiver was a bit distorted, sounding very strange, "This is Hayato Yongshan!"

Grandfather actually called himself? Naoki Nagayama looked serious.

"Grandfather?" Naoki Nagayama leaned close to the phone, "You actually called me? Did something happen?"

"Ah... don't be nervous, nothing major." Hayato Yongshan laughed, "I have already talked to the boss of the Yamaguchi-gumi, and the KTV in various places will be protected by the Yamaguchi-gumi in the future! You and Feng can expand with confidence later!"

"And no cut!"

After Hayato Yongshan talked to Masahisa Takenaka, he set off back to Shimizu, Jinggang, and only felt that he should notify his grandson at night.

"Honto ni?" Naoki Nagayama was surprised, "Grandfather, how did you persuade the Yamaguchi-gumi?"

"What else, support him to be the Fourth Generation~" Hayato Yongshan said very easily, "Anyway, there is no one else... I didn't like that guy before."

"... Grandfather, won't this have any impact on the Shimizu Family?" Naoki Nagayama asked.

"Not at all, they are about to officially start fighting soon, and it's not certain whether they can take care of others by then."

Hayato Yongshan knew that the final showdown would be in June, and whether the Fourth Generation could sit firmly depends on that time.

"Officially start fighting?"

"It's about fighting for the Fourth Generation." Hayato Yongshan reacted at this time, he couldn't let his grandson Naoki contact these things too much, "These messy things, Naoki, you don't need to know.

You just need to know that KTV can expand everywhere! Of course, within the sphere of influence of the Yamaguchi-gumi~"

"Hai, I understand!" Naoki Nagayama followed suit, "Grandfather worked hard~"

"This is the family business~ Hahaha~"

Naoki Nagayama continued to chat about some trivial matters of life with his grandfather on the phone, and then hung up.

Akina Mori had been listening quietly beside her, and only then said: "Naoki-san, is it related to KTV?"

"Hmm, simply put, we can open more KTVs in the future~" Naoki Nagayama hugged Akina's shoulder, "We can also open them outside Tokyo."

"That's great, we can go to KTV to sing when we are in other cities in the future!" Akina Mori liked this new nightclub very much.

"Then after the first KTV officially opens, do you want to go again?"

"Okay~"

His little girlfriend agreed very excitedly, and even started planning the time~ ===== CHAPTER 593 =====
