Chapter 643: The boss is right here, why not ask in person?!
The morning sun had already risen high. Logically speaking, the people in the room should also be up.
Inside the thin quilt, it seemed like two caterpillars were twisting~
After a long time, the quilt was lifted at a corner. Naoki Nagayama lay on the pillow panting, in the appearance of a sage.
And Akina also leaned beside him, her flushed cheeks like peaches that had been blushed, white and red, making people want to take a bite:
"Naoki-san is really H!"
Naoki Nagayama reached out and pulled his girlfriend's delicate body into his arms, feeling the warm skin and plumpness, his tone carrying a trace of pride:
"It was clearly Akina who was touching me first!"
"Not at all!" Akina hammered her boyfriend angrily, and then, not satisfied, bit him on the neck again!
The soft bite on the neck didn't hurt at all, just a little itchy:
"Does Akina want to do it again?"
Naoki Nagayama lowered his head, kissed down along her smooth forehead, slid over her soft lips and slender neck, and continued down...
Her breathing became rapid again, and Akina bit her lower lip, unable to say a complete word~
No wonder the monarch never went to court early from then on~
At nine o'clock, the two of them got up~
After all, there was still work to do, and it was impossible to always covet pleasure.
"Did Naoki-san see Hibari Misora in Kobe?" Akina Nakamori was wearing a loose large T-shirt, not caring at all about the large expanse of spring light leaking out, carefully putting a piece of snack into her mouth.
The snacks brought over yesterday became breakfast~
"Umm, of course I saw her." Naoki Nagayama poured two glasses of milk and handed one to Akina. "We visited Hibari Misora's home directly."
"Oh? Was Hibari Misora-san especially kind? Was there a lot of artistic atmosphere at home?" Akina Nakamori asked with great interest.
"Kind? It's more like..." Naoki Nagayama recalled the chat over there. Hibari Misora didn't look like someone in her forties or nearly fifty at all. The things they chatted about were also popular affairs of the time, but she was indeed old. "Like that kind of aunt with a lot of youthful vitality."
"Eh~~~"
Naoki Nagayama described Hibari Misora's conversation topics. It could be seen that this old aunt had a young heart~
Akina Nakamori laughed: "I will also be that kind of cute aunt with a young heart in the future!!!"
"..."
Looking at his girlfriend's youthful and beautiful appearance, Naoki Nagayama really didn't expect that she would start considering retirement at such a young age?!
This was looking too far ahead!
"If we come back this time, 'Music Station' is also expected to start production." Naoki Nagayama looked at Akina and said, "For the first show, Akina will be a special guest. Let's go to Kiyose together to film Akina's hometown~"
"Hai~~~" Akina Nakamori leaned against Naoki Nagayama happily. "When?"
"We have to arrange your schedule with Burning Productions, but it won't be later than July." Naoki Nagayama estimated that there were still about two weeks left. "Speaking of which... when it officially airs, it might catch up with Akina's birthday."
"Umm?" The little girlfriend looked over with bright eyes, as if asking, Naoki-san, what are you planning?
However, Naoki Nagayama didn't continue this topic, but turned to another direction: "Akina, do you think it would be interesting to record the first show at KTV?"
"KTV?" Akina Nakamori became curious. "Is the venue big enough?"
"The main venue can be in the lobby on the first floor." Naoki Nagayama described the picture in his head. "Each singer's performance is in a different private room... The host can take the camera to different rooms..."
"With the space of a large private room, it can definitely accommodate a performance."
"It would also be very interesting if we found the wrong one~" Akina Nakamori seemed to think of a very interesting scene. "But... this should take a long time, will KTV agree?"
Naoki Nagayama looked at his girlfriend in surprise:
"Akina... the boss of KTV is right here... why don't you ask in person?"
"..."
Laughing and joking, it was past ten o'clock.
Akina Nakamori received a call from Akifusa Meiko, and the car would be here soon to pick her up. So she hurriedly put on makeup and changed clothes...
"Bye bye, Naoki-san~"
After giving a goodbye kiss, Akina went out in high spirits~
Naoki Nagayama stayed in the apartment for a while longer, and only then drove to the studio.
Sure enough, Otomo Yoshimura had already arrived.
"Otomo-san, I told you to take a good rest yesterday! You are indeed more exhausted today!" Naoki Nagayama looked at his old friend who kept yawning and had dark circles under his eyes, and couldn't help but persuade him. "Money can't be earned, health is important!"
Otomo Yoshimura looked up at the radiant Naoki Nagayama, really wanting to say that he didn't come to the studio yesterday at all and went home very early.
However... if a middle-aged man returned home in the afternoon, there were no children at home, and there was no weekend social engagement... then, the tiger-mom at home would easily... be very hungry.
"Ahem... I know." Otomo Yoshimura could only say vaguely, and then quickly changed the subject.
"Naoki-san, the Kobe Geino Agency moved very quickly and has already mailed the revenue sharing contract."
He took a printout and handed it to Naoki Nagayama. "I took a look, not only did they give the creation fee, but the share was also set to the highest according to industry practice."
"Ha, it looks like Hibari Misora must have greeted the Kobe Geino Agency."
Naoki Nagayama scanned it a few times and signed his name. After all, it was a song he created himself, and his private song copyright and share had always been under his personal studio.
Otomo Yoshimura hadn't finished speaking, "In addition, there is the program production contract with TV Asahi. The quarterly purchase price is 360 million yen, and subsequent negotiations will be conducted based on ratings."
"Equivalent to about 30 million per episode." Naoki Nagayama nodded. "12 episodes in a quarter, about the same~"
Although the production costs of each episode might be different, it was fine. What Naoki Nagayama really wanted was not to make the most money.
"Since that's the case, let's go stamp it."
Otomo Yoshimura nodded, and this matter was settled.
Naoki Nagayama said: "Then, let's start from the production of 'Music Station', let's assemble the team, and make the name famous in the first show in July..."
After saying that, he walked out of the office door in a hurry.
"Why is he so energetic today?" Otomo Yoshimura muttered and yawned again. "It's good to be young~"
Naoki Nagayama came to the editing room. After opening the door, he saw Shuichi Ido and Masataka Komori who also had some panda eyes.
"Shuichi-san, Masataka-kun, take good care of your health!" Naoki Nagayama just persuaded them, and then said to Kijima Xu, "Kijima-kun, come out with me."
"Hai~" Kijima Xu's sudden sound startled the other editors in the editing room.
However, seeing that Naoki Nagayama was about to leave like this, Shuichi Ido finally opened his mouth:
"Naoki-san... you're leaving? You dug up one of our editing labor forces and left?"
"What's the matter, anyway you didn't feel he was here..." Naoki Nagayama waved his hand. "Besides, Kijima-kun promised me long ago that he would join other filming teams later."
"..." Kijima Xu felt offended.
Shuichi Ido widened his eyes: "But he finished his share of the work! If Kijima-kun leaves, the workload will fall on others!"
"..." Naoki Nagayama shook his head. "Then find some more~ Shuichi-san, you have to cultivate more reserve talents, otherwise I... ah, no... otherwise where can you find cheap and mature labor in the future?!"
The other two newcomers who had just joined the company not long ago were full of question marks at this time...
"Naoki-san, I now know why you are the president..." Shuichi Ido didn't expect that someone could say the operation of a capitalist so openly.
"Anyway... Shuichi-san, you should quickly find some mentors and acquaintances at the Tokyo University of the Arts and let them recommend more people~" Naoki Nagayama smiled and turned to take Kijima Xu away.
And after the editing room door closed, Shuichi Ido was silent for a while, and then looked at the junior students who had just come in:
"... You... do you have any junior students you have a good relationship with?"
"Eh?"
Kijima Xu followed behind Naoki Nagayama and asked curiously:
"Naoki-san, is 'Kikujiro' about to start filming? Isn't it still in the stage of forming the production committee?"
Naoki Nagayama shook his head: "Of course not, I'm looking for you for another project."
"We signed a variety show production contract with TV Asahi. There is a program called 'Music Station' that needs to be produced... So before the end of July, you will help with this program."
"Uh... Hai!"
Kijima Xu didn't have any more doubts, but followed behind Naoki Nagayama silently.
Watching him walk to the filming team, calling away Komyo Sakata and Komyo Obara, and mentioning a batch of filming equipment, and then going to the prop team to mention prop master Takehiko Takei and his men, and even the general affairs assistant, Kie Ochiai, didn't let go... it was as if he was picking vegetables in the vegetable market with a vegetable basket...
Finally, a group of people came to the conference room.
"Ahem..." Naoki Nagayama cleared his throat. "Anyway, the reason why everyone is gathered in a team is because there is a project that needs everyone to complete..."
He took out the proposal for "Music Station" and distributed it to everyone:
"We signed a contract with TV Asahi to start producing a music variety show in July. Regarding the data part, it has been negotiated and will be handled by a professional data company, but the recording, stage, scene... are all completed by our Tree Friend..."
"And you will temporarily become the first batch of staff for this program..."
The general director and general person in charge of the first few times of "Music Station" were Naoki Nagayama. Later, a suitable director and program production team would be selected to continue production. Of course, these people must have recommendations from TV Asahi...
"Everyone can read this proposal carefully today. If you have any questions, you can ask me privately. Starting this week, we have to prepare to produce the program."
The low discussion continued, and everyone discussed for a long time in the conference room. Naoki Nagayama answered everyone's questions.
Near noon, at Naoki Nagayama's signal, the first production preparation meeting for "Music Station" was over.
"Takei-san." When leaving, Naoki Nagayama said to prop master Takehiko Takei, "Go to the KTV in Harajuku with me this afternoon. Our first main stage will be held there."
"Hai!"
Naoki Nagayama, who returned to the office, mentioned his idea to Otomo Yoshimura.
"Is it a bit risky to have the first show at KTV?"
"Haha, it's a new program anyway, the more novel the better." Naoki Nagayama explained with a smile. "Besides, it can also promote our KTV, why not do it?"
"Then will it be in the TV Asahi studio later?"
"This depends on whether the program needs to be in a fixed studio..." Although TV Asahi would definitely allocate a studio, Naoki Nagayama felt that renting a venue wouldn't cost much money and would make the program freer.
Otomo Yoshimura nodded and didn't say much:
"Then the guests for the first show?"
"Ah, that will be listed according to the data company's charts. The special guest is Akina Nakamori." Naoki Nagayama didn't avoid anything. My program is here to support my girlfriend, so what!
"Alright..." Otomo Yoshimura shook his head. "However, for a program, we still need more popular guests, especially popular idol groups... Naoki-san, do you need to talk to Johnny's?"
"Johnny's?"
Naoki Nagayama was silent. Although this agency was unbearable, it was undeniable that in this era and even for decades to come, Johnny's monopolized most of the male idol groups in Japan.
He remembered "Shonentai" who had a good relationship with him. Forget it... those idols didn't do anything wrong after all.
"Umm, talk to them about cooperation. Isn't Shonentai starting to show popularity? See if they can come to participate in the program regularly." The negotiations between agencies were naturally handled by subordinates. "By the way... I don't like Masahiko Kondo, don't let him come to participate!"
This person was absolutely not allowed.
"Hai!"
Even though it was just afternoon, the KTV in Harajuku was still very popular.
When Naoki Nagayama arrived with Takehiko Takei, there were still a few guests waiting in the lobby.
However, Tetsuhiro Kurita, the foreman of Harajuku KTV, had already seen his boss and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him:
"Naoki-san, welcome to Harajuku KTV!"
"Kurita-kun." Naoki Nagayama nodded in response. "Is the business okay recently?"
"Hai, it's almost full every day." Tetsuhiro Kurita led the two to the bar in the lobby and served drinks. Seeing that there were only two people, he asked with some confusion, "Does Naoki-san want to open a VIP room?"
"Umm, I'll go over and take a look later..."
Naoki Nagayama looked around the lobby. Such a large space could accommodate at least a hundred people... This was tested by the police and Yakuza when it opened.
"Takei-san, you can take a look around here first, have an impression in your head, and I will give you the design blueprint of Harajuku KTV later."
"Hai!" After Takehiko Takei nodded, he wandered around the lobby.
Tetsuhiro Kurita was very strange, but didn't speak, waiting for Naoki Nagayama's instructions.
"Kurita-kun." Naoki Nagayama calculated the date. "Two weeks later, this KTV in Harajuku will be used as a filming venue for a TV program, and the filming time will be about one day. However... the early preparation and stage production will likely take about a week..."
"Does Naoki-san mean that in a week, KTV will be temporarily closed?" Tetsuhiro Kurita asked.
"Yes... you can post a notice this week." Naoki Nagayama nodded. "Just say it's for inspection or decoration... it will be closed for about a week, umm... I will notify you of the specific time."
"Hai, I understand!"
Although closing would hit the nightclub's popularity, Tetsuhiro Kurita deeply understood that he was just a worker. Since the boss had already decided, he could only execute it.
"Umm, you can talk to the staff in advance, and I will also notify Maozhi-san." Naoki Nagayama patted Tetsuhiro Kurita on the shoulder, watching Takehiko Takei had already circled the lobby, so he said, "Next, open that super luxury VIP room... we also want to go in and take a look."
"Hai!" Tetsuhiro Kurita promised and hurriedly turned to get the key.
"Takei-san, how is it, is the lobby space okay?" Naoki Nagayama asked.
"The height might be a little bit off, but it doesn't matter if there is no demand for the height of the main stage." Speaking of his profession, Takehiko Takei was full of confidence. "The decoration style of this KTV is very good, and we will also fit this style when designing the set..."
"Umm, then I'll leave it to you."
Naoki Nagayama was very confident in the stage art of this era. Takehiko Takei had also been at Tree Friend for a long time. He had even made a realistic one-to-one airplane model. A program main stage was no problem!
"Next, let's go to the private room to see, each singer's performance will be there..."
"Hai~"
After getting into Akifusa Meiko's car, Ueda Maki began to explain the work items for today to Akina.
However, halfway through, she found that Akina today was really radiant, and even her skin was white and red, which was dazzling in the morning sun:
"I really envy Akina-chan's skin quality! It looks like it's glowing."
"Eh?" Akina touched her face, and then her mood became even better~
Akifusa Meiko also glanced from the rearview mirror: "It looks like Akina rested very well~"
"Umm, after all, it's a rare sleep-in!" Akina Nakamori kept her face calm, and then asked, "Fusa-san, if it's the end of the month, does my schedule have any availability?"
"Umm... there are many announcements at the end of the month." Akifusa Meiko recalled. "However, there are a few days at the beginning of July that are empty and haven't been arranged yet..."
Generally speaking, large schedules would be arranged months in advance, such as concert tours, etc. However, small announcements, half a month in advance, were many, and smaller shooting covers, photos, etc., would be inserted according to Akina's schedule.
These were all arranged by the manager.
"Naoki-san told me that at the beginning of the month, around my birthday, there will be a new music program inviting me as the first guest." Akina Nakamori said righteously.
"Uh... but Akina's birthday already has many announcements that want to celebrate for you..."
"Naoki-san's program is more important..."
"That... alright~" Akifusa Meiko still nodded. "I will temporarily push away the arrangements for that day..." ===== CHAPTER 644 =====
