Chapter 710: The audience has no reason to refuse the sugar!!

The summer weather is still so hot~

The bright sun began to bake the city as soon as it dawned. The green leaves and flowers that had not yet walked out of the coolness of the night looked withered, and even the cicadas on the treetops made weak wails.

Eitaro opened his mouth in the hallway and stuck out his tongue to exhale, while Miaotaro had already hidden somewhere to avoid the heat.

After Naoki Nagayama sent Akina to work, he originally wanted to organize the memories in his head at home, but he remembered that there were more important things at this time... "Kikujiro" was scheduled to be released on the 25th, and there was only one week left!

But he had been in a coma for several days, and he didn't know what the editing result was!

"Hope Kijima Xu is reliable!"

Naoki Nagayama muttered, still feeling a little uneasy in his heart, then tidied up and started the convertible in the garage... For a movie that makes money, he still had to pay more attention to it!

The car sped on the highway, and the strong wind blew on his slightly long hair, making Naoki Nagayama feel a coolness in his head.

The cars next to him whizzed past, no one paid much attention to him, and the pedestrians coming and going on the shopping street next to the road were all focused on their own lives, and no one looked at him.

"Thought it would be a big mess..."

Naoki Nagayama laughed at himself. He thought how much influence his relationship with Akina would have, but there were so many bustling people in this world, and anyone could do without anyone. He was not the protagonist of Earth Online~

After arriving at the studio, the receptionists, Xing Jiahua and Suzuki Xingxia, both had bright eyes:

"Naoki-san, why are you here?" "Naoki-san, has your body recovered?"

Obviously, the two were very surprised that Naoki Nagayama came to the studio just after waking up, and were very concerned about his situation.

"Hai, it's completely fine!" Naoki Nagayama replied with a smile, "Because some things are very urgent, so I still came~"

"Naoki-san, take care of your body~"

Amidst the concern of the two, Naoki Nagayama walked toward the inside of the studio, and then unsurprisingly received kind greetings from many staff members... He was held back for quite a long time...

When he got to the office, Naoki Nagayama even felt that the corners of his mouth were a little tired.

"Naoki-san?" Otomo Yoshimura was also very surprised, "Just woke up, not resting at home, what are you doing at the studio?"

"Of course it's because of the editing of 'Kikujiro', it's going to be released in a week, so I have to pay attention to the progress!" Naoki Nagayama said, then looked at Xiu Yin Tang's empty seat, "Isn't Xiu-san back? Didn't he come over?"

"Seeing that you have woken up, naturally he went to the set." Otomo Yoshimura said, "There is still a crew waiting over there!"

The filming of "Blue Sea" was also coming to an end~

"It seems everyone is very busy!" Naoki Nagayama sighed, "So I can't continue to stay at home~"

"Health is still more important... If there is any damage, you must rest well!" Otomo Yoshimura gave a sincere answer. With the growth of age over the past few years, he really felt the importance of the body.

"Hahaha~ okay, I won't force myself."

Naoki Nagayama laughed.

"By the way, there was an earthquake during Shizuka Kudo's debut concert, what happened afterward?"

"Ah, Shizuka-chan." Otomo Yoshimura's spirit was lifted, "She was very calm in the subsequent performance, actively cared about the situation of the fans, and went to see several fans who were accidentally injured... The accident at the concert was handled very well, making the cohesion of the fans more solid."

"Also, although the sales of the record 'Sunshine Girl' haven't been counted yet, judging from the feedback from several record stores, the momentum is very good..."

"That's good, that's good~" Naoki Nagayama nodded. This level is very good~

After chatting for a few words about the subsequent promotion, and just preparing to go to edit, Otomo Yoshimura suddenly remembered one thing:

"Naoki-san, about Masataka-kun's side... the yakuza over there are getting more and more excessive. Although you said to indulge them a little, now they are breaking into the park to harass the construction workers!"

"Ah... almost forgot about them." Naoki Nagayama patted his forehead, "How is the situation in Osaka now?"

"Osaka?" Otomo Yoshimura was puzzled.

"Mm, that is, after the death of the fourth generation of the Yamaguchi-gumi, did the Yamaguchi-gumi and the Ichiwa-kai fight back?" Naoki Nagayama estimated that the memorial service for Masahisa Takenaka should also be over.

"I heard that there were several conflicts on the street, and guns were used. Besides the yakuza, stray bullets also hurt many people!" Otomo Yoshimura said.

"Then it should be soon." Naoki Nagayama said, "Let the bullets fly for a while... Otomo-san, notify Masataka-kun to persist for another week. I want to start creating momentum in the media this week..."

"Creating momentum?"

"Yeah, render the danger of the yakuza and give the police some pressure..."

"???" Otomo Yoshimura had never thought about giving the police pressure, "Giving the police pressure can guarantee that our base won't be harassed?"

"Almost~" Naoki Nagayama nodded without explaining too much, "You'll know when the time comes."

"Uh... then okay!" Otomo Yoshimura didn't continue to pursue it.

After leaving the office, Naoki Nagayama came to the editing room, where he really saw Kijima Xu and his two underlings busy.

"Kijima-kun~ Sakata-kun and Obara-kun~"

"Naoki-san, you're here!" Kijima Xu was also surprised, after all, he heard he just woke up yesterday.

"Mm, after all, the editing of the movie can't be delayed..." Naoki Nagayama patted his shoulder, looked at the material on the workbench and asked, "Tell me, how is the progress these days? Are there any difficulties?"

"Hai." Kijima Xu also immediately entered the work mode, "At present, the main line of the movie has been largely edited. According to Naoki Nagayama's previous arrangements, we are supplementing the plot of each detail, such as the scenery on the road, the episodes in the process of looking for the mother, etc... The subtitles have also been matched..."

Kijima Xu told Naoki Nagayama bit by bit about the work of the few of them these days, and Naoki Nagayama also began to sit in front of the editing table and began to operate it.

"There is one more week... We try to finish the editing of the movie in these few days, and the remaining time will be used for the film factory to copy..."

Naoki Nagayama said to the few of them,

"It will be released on the 25th on time... We don't have much time to waste."

"Hai!"

After coming out in the morning, Naoki Nagayama felt that everything had not changed, but Akina Nakamori's side was not like this.

After being absent for three days, Akina Nakamori finally had to desperately start to make up for the announcements she owed before, and went directly to Fuji TV in the morning to record the program...

However, before the car stopped, reporters who were well-informed were surrounded at the entrance of the Fuji building. This was obviously that there was a traitor inside Fuji TV!

The news that Akina Nakamori was coming was leaked!

Just as the car stopped, reporters asked continuously:

"Akina-chan! To what extent has the relationship with Naoki Nagayama reached?!"

"Akina-chan, are you planning to get married? Will you retire after marriage?"

"After retiring, how many children do you plan to have?! What are the names of the children?!"

One question after another, all of Akina Nakamori's future marriage and childbirth were included. Even Naoki Nagayama hadn't thought about these questions!

Akina Nakamori had psychological construction for this situation. According to the agency's requirements, she just put on a business smile and kept saying:

"Arigato, thank you for your concern..."

Then, under the escort of Fusoku Meiko, she walked into the Fuji TV building. After the media reporters were blocked outside, the assistant, Ueda Maki, finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"What... they even got into the parking lot! These reporters are really supernatural."

"Media and TV stations are originally one body." Fusoku Meiko said, and then exhorted Akina, "Akina-chan, when recording the program later, the host will definitely ask similar questions. Please follow the agency's instructions... Try to reduce relevant answers..."

"Hai, I understand." Akina Nakamori nodded very sensibly.

However, before the recording started, while putting on makeup in the public lounge, Akina Nakamori was harassed...

"Akina-chan, have you been in the hospital these days?" Kyoko Koizumi asked, "Has Naoki-san recovered?"

"Mm, it's fine."

Akina Nakamori was very willing to reply to her good friend. The experience of a few days also made her have a lot of heart-to-heart experiences to share, just like:

"I was really worried to death these few days... Naoki-san was no different from being asleep, but he just couldn't wake up..."

"Was there any injury elsewhere?"

"Absolutely none..."

"..."

While the two were chatting, Hidemi Ishikawa and Yu Hayami also walked over and discussed Akina Nakamori's public relationship.

Most of them were topics between girls, such as how she felt after the disclosure, and whether she was living with Naoki Nagayama.

Chatting and putting on makeup while laughing.

Before recording the program, Hidemi Ishikawa looked at Akina and said: "Akina-chan, have you lost a lot of weight?"

"?" Kyoko Koizumi also looked over again, "It seems it really is!"

Accompanied by Naoki Nagayama, Akina, since her debut, hadn't experienced the stage of stress fat. Although she was still called "Fat Akina" by some fans, it was only because of the baby fat on her face~

When filming "Love Letter" before, she specially shaped for a period of time, and her figure was just right... Originally, with the growth of age, the roundness on her face was gradually disappearing, and under the worry of several consecutive days this time, the baby fat was only left with a thin layer...

Plus today's wavy hair, the whole looks like she has lost a circle, and she has walked out of the category of a young girl... Now she should be considered a young lady~

"Eh?" Akina Nakamori turned around, looked at herself in the mirror and laughed, "It seems so... this song-hitting dress seems a bit loose..."

"So envious~" Kyoko Koizumi is also a person with baby fat. At this time, her face is still round and can't disappear~

Hidemi Ishikawa also affirmed from the side: "Sure enough, love makes people more beautiful~"

"..."

In the studio, the advance preparation for the program had been completed.

The on-site director and host also communicated with Akina Nakamori before recording. There might be some interviews about the relationship later, and Akina Nakamori was also prepared...

Sure enough, after the recording started, the host introduced Akina Nakamori after the commentary.

"Akina-chan..." The host looked at Akina Nakamori's appearance and exclaimed, "You are more beautiful today than before~"

"Arigato~" Akina Nakamori smiled and expressed her gratitude.

Then the host asked: "Is there any happy event recently?"

"..." Politely smiled.

"I heard that Akina-chan is dating Naoki Nagayama, is the news true?" The host continued to ask.

"Ano... this..."

Although she still didn't answer directly, Akina Nakamori smiled brightly, and her head nodded unconsciously~

The fans among the audience under the stage started to boo loudly, mixed with some painful wails from boys...

Fusoku Meiko, who was watching backstage, slapped his head with a "pop"...

Because if the idol herself admits it in front of the screen, it will cause further storms, so the agency asked Akina not to make clear feedback, but now this nod is equivalent to admitting it...

The host also continued to cue the process very quickly, without continuing to ask. After all, he also received instructions from his superiors not to focus too much.

After the performance, Akina Nakamori returned to the dressing room.

Her process had basically been completed, and she had to rush to another announcement! There were quite a few jobs owed these few days...

And after touching up her makeup and walking out of the dressing room, Akina Nakamori ran into Xi Liumi, who was waiting,

"Akina-chan? Do you want to have a love interview with Naoki-san?"

"???"

Akina Nakamori naturally knew Xi Liumi, one of the production teams of "Twilight Meow Meow", a member of the Fuji TV production bureau.

But what does this mean now?

Xi Liumi was forced to come... Tai Sugiura was under the pressure of Department Head Takano and could only look for opportunities to cooperate with Naoki Nagayama everywhere, and then this pressure was spread to the team members.

A love interview! Gather celebrity couples and participate in a love variety show together!!

Such an idea was first thought of by Yasushi Akimoto:

"How do celebrity couples date? The audience must also want to know!"

Such an advanced idea was combined in Yasushi Akimoto's mind, making him seem to see the possibility of surpassing "Twilight Meow Meow" for a while!

Every TV series about love can have very good ratings. Since people are so keen on the love of fictional characters played by artists, then a real love between stars will definitely have very high ratings!

The audience has no reason to refuse the sugar!

Xi Liumi still remembered the passionate look when Yasushi Akimoto explained it to Tai Sugiura and everyone, and even said that in the future, it might be possible to carry out different program effects such as love between the rich, love between strangers, etc...

Love variety show!

This new type of variety show actually had a general framework in Yasushi Akimoto's short-term thinking!

Tai Sugiura was overjoyed:

"'Twilight Meow Meow' is estimated to not last until the end of the year... But! Love variety show, this is a fresh theme! It has infinite potential!"

"It can also be combined with the reality show mode! Achieve richer effects!"

In the preparation room of "Twilight Meow Meow", a group of people discussed for a long time, and everyone's heart was full of enthusiasm.

However, at this time, a voice suddenly said:

"If it's a love variety show, it's a new type of variety show, and it must have a good start! Only in this way can it attract the audience's attention at the beginning!"

Tai Sugiura and Yasushi Akimoto were silent for a while, thinking about the couples in the entertainment industry, and then Tai Sugiura said slowly:

"In other words, the relationship between Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori is the best gimmick!"

"Mm, must win them!" Yasushi Akimoto nodded, "Only in this way can the love variety show attract everyone's attention for the first time!"

So in the end, Xi Liumi was sent to ask Akina Nakamori's opinion~

Akina Nakamori thought for a while and said:

"Sumimasen, but this kind of announcement needs to be communicated with the agency first... and also needs Naoki-san's consent."

"Then... does Akina-chan agree?" Xi Liumi was originally here to ask for an attitude, "Participate in the program with Naoki-san?"

"This..."

Thinking of being able to participate in the program with Naoki-san, Akina was naturally willing.

However, whether this program would cause trouble for Naoki-san was what she cared about more!

"It mainly depends on Naoki-san's meaning..."

Xi Liumi nodded, "Hai, I understand!"

Sure enough, it is still necessary to gnaw on the hard bone of Naoki Nagayama!

This point depends on Tai Sugiura and Yasushi Akimoto.

In the office building of General Air Conditioning, a meeting is being held.

Yasuyuki Nakano, the assistant to the chairman, presided over the meeting of the board of directors. The main topics were two, one is the merger situation with Fujitsu, and the other is the acquisition behavior of Tree Friend Capital.

In fact, these two topics can be combined into one. Will the acquisition behavior of Tree Friend Capital affect the merger of General Air Conditioning with Fujitsu, and whether to take resistance actions.

Yasuyuki Nakano explained the current situation to the directors of the board:

"Tree Friend Capital has acquired 10% of the shares of General Air Conditioning and is already a well-deserved major shareholder. Although there is no next step plan, the scattered shares on the market are already watching..."

"Then... how does the chairman judge the current situation?" a director asked, "Should we adopt a poison pill plan?"

The poison pill plan has long been out, officially known as "shareholder rights plan"... adopting low-price issuance of new shares, reclaiming priority purchase rights, increasing debt, etc.

However, Chairman Kazutoshi Sonoda shook his head:

"No... At this critical moment, I don't want to adopt this kind of behavior that makes Fujitsu hesitate."

Fujitsu plans to purchase 40% of the shares of General Air Conditioning, which is already a large proportion, and will undoubtedly become the largest shareholder. Plus the remaining 20% of the shares in his own hands, no matter what, Tree Friend Capital will not be able to control it.

"After the merger, Tree Friend Capital will have no chance!"

"Aren't you worried that there are other consortia behind Tree Friend Capital?" the director continued to ask.

"So I plan to invite the controller of Tree Friend Capital to have a talk..." Chairman Kazutoshi Sonoda said, "Then we will know..."

"However, here I want to unify the opinions with you again."

Kazutoshi Sonoda continued, "In Japan, such malicious acquisitions are not praised. Even if there is a consortium behind Tree Friend Capital, if they force an acquisition, our management will resign collectively!"

"At that time, the company's stock price and business will be cut in half! The assets of all shareholders will also be greatly lost... So I hope all directors will stick to their positions and not compromise with the malicious acquirer..."

"Hai!"

The directors present nodded one after another. ===== CHAPTER 711 =====
