Chapter 65: Girls' money is the easiest to earn
Nagayama Naoki, who returned to the apartment, did not go to sleep immediately.
Turning on the TV at this time, he could just catch the late-night programs.
Unexpectedly, in one program, he actually saw the Wild Cat Group?
But it was only introduced as a background board, and the overall screen time was not much...
Indeed, Nagayama Naoki hadn't seen reports on the Wild Cat Group for a long time.
What happened?
Shouldn't the BURNING system be heavily promoting them?
How did they end up playing bit parts in late-night programs?
Seeing this, Nagayama Naoki had no interest in continuing to watch. He lay down to sleep, planning to find Funamura Otomo tomorrow to ask.
Early the next morning, Nagayama Naoki drove to the studio and found that Funamura Otomo was not there.
"Otomo-san is actually not on set?"
Itou Shuichi replied: "This guy seems to have gone to the TV station again~"
The contract was already OK. Was he going to talk about payment? Or talk about selling the program planning?
Although TV stations are rich and powerful, it is common for payments to be delayed for a while, especially for small agencies without a background.
"Does Shuichi-san know what's going on with the Wild Cat Group?" Nagayama Naoki asked directly.
"What's going on? Did something happen?"
Itou Shuichi looked like he didn't know anything. Recently, he seemed to have put all his thoughts into the filming of "Tales of the Unusual".
"Last night, in a late-night program, I saw the Wild Cat Group making a guest appearance."
"Late-night program?" Itou Shuichi was silent. Knowing that the girl group he had created with his own hands had become what it was today, he also felt complicated inside.
"Something must have gone wrong. Clearly, the BURNING agency said they would operate the Wild Cat Group better."
Nagayama Naoki also nodded: "I originally planned to ask Funamura Otomo today, but then again, even if we knew, we couldn't do anything..."
"That's true..."
He couldn't stay down like this.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it." Nagayama Naoki directly changed the subject, "The first season of 'Tales of the Unusual' is almost finished filming. Does Shuichi-san have any plans for next?"
"Uh, suddenly talking about this..."
Itou Shuichi was surprised, "Currently, there are a few scripts that have contacted me, but unfortunately, none of them are good scripts.
After my appetite was spoiled by Naoki-san, I can't film ordinary stories anymore~"
"Haha, Shuichi-san, don't praise me~" Nagayama Naoki was humble for a while, "But Shuichi-san, you should still take an ordinary script and try filming it."
"Why?" Didn't you always say not to take those kinds of shows?
"To practice. Shuichi-san already has a certain reputation, but it's only in short dramas.
In case a good script comes knocking later, both the filming techniques and the connections in the entertainment industry will be insufficient..."
It seemed to make sense. How did this young man feel like a senior who had been in the workplace for a long time?
"Since Naoki-san said so, I will definitely choose carefully."
"It's best to be an urban drama~" Nagayama Naoki added. The ones he watched in his previous life were also more urban-oriented. Future scripts,
if he remembered them, might also lean in this direction.
"I'm writing an urban drama story, and it's very likely that I'll film this one later~"
It was not easy to fool Itou Shuichi and let him continue filming.
Nagayama Naoki was the only one left in the office.
Saying he was writing something was, of course, a lie. He had no clue yet.
However, if he really wanted to film it, taking out "Hana Yori Dango" wouldn't be impossible. But such a good show, if not filmed well, would be a pity.
Just as Nagayama Naoki was thinking, Funamura Otomo actually returned.
"Otomo-san, so early? Didn't you go to the TV station?" Nagayama Naoki was surprised.
"The department head I had an appointment with actually went out temporarily." Funamura Otomo's face was also not good. But small agencies are just so miserable. TV stations are big and powerful; they see you when they want to, and if they don't want to, they don't even say hello.
"Let's not talk about this. I heard earlier that Naoki-san was asking about the Wild Cat Group?"
"Hai, I just happened to see them on a late-night program."
After all, it was the girl group Funamura Otomo had put the most effort into, and he often cared about them. "I've looked into it before. It seems they were promoted a few times according to the idol routine, but it didn't cause any waves.
After that, there wasn't even a debut single, so there was no big news.
But I didn't expect them to end up in late-night programs.
I heard that the public relations department head and the planning department head were very unhappy because of the girl group~"
"Internal discord? Maybe they didn't think about how to operate a girl group either." Nagayama Naoki replied.
"However, Otomo-san, we have no way to deal with the situation we know now. Let's focus on ourselves first~ When GG has the strength, maybe we can ask for the girl group back."
"Hai, that's all we can do for now. It's a pity. The Wild Cat Group was the original girl group..."
Later, when talking about "Tales of the Unusual", Funamura Otomo said that the cost issue didn't need to be too worried about, mainly for later.
"The TV station seems to have made up its mind not to renew the contract."
"It doesn't matter. Didn't we anticipate it long ago? The key is to sell it for a good price! Also, if we can exchange it for channel resources, that would also be very good~"
"Hai, this still needs to be fought for."
"These will all trouble Otomo-san. Neither Shuichi-san nor I have the personality to negotiate with people."
"Naoki-san is overthinking. I will definitely do a good job."
The shop in Shibuya, although it was slightly renovated before, is currently in a closed state.
Hearing about the Wild Cat Group today made Nagayama Naoki think of this shop again.
Nagayama Naoki drove here, thinking about the original plan to sell cat ear merchandise, and felt a bit emotional.
It looks like the merchandise store won't be able to open.
However, the shops on both sides seem to have opened. One is a store for the latest women's fashion, and the other is actually cosmetics.
It seems that this era discovered long ago that girls' money is the easiest to earn.
So, is it more appropriate for my shop to open a jewelry store?
In such a good place, if I open a store myself, it feels very troublesome, but leaving it empty is a waste.
"Let's rent it out..." Isn't it also very happy to be a landlord~
Since he came to the commercial street, Nagayama Naoki planned to take a stroll.
To be honest, the trendy products here are not inferior to the future. Except for some high-tech products, other electrical appliances and the like are actually very rich.
Nagayama Naoki bought himself a few summer clothes and happened to see sunglasses, so he bought a pair by the way, which would be useful when driving.
When walking back with the clothes, he happened to pass by the electronic product area. The newly launched color TVs were not much different from future TVs.
Then, while strolling in the electronic product area, he actually discovered Sony's classic blue Walkman, the kind that Star-Lord carried in the future "Guardians of the Galaxy". On a whim, he bought it.
Next, in order to use this Walkman to listen to music, he ran to the record store and bought several popular record tapes, and was not limited to music style.
But after buying the records, he found that he could only listen to them on the Walkman and in the car. There seemed to be no speakers at home.
So he went to the home appliance store and bought the latest high-end home audio system.
With this, you still say girls' money is easy to earn? ===== CHAPTER 66 =====
