Chapter 724: Make a big news before leaving?!

~11 min read 2,068 words

The footsteps of summer leaving were just as chic and refreshing as when she arrived.

After a rain in autumn, the temperature began to drop to around 20°C... That summer that made people sweat profusely had gone far away, and what was coming toward them was the mature and quiet autumn season.

It's October.

Nagayama Naoki remembered that when he first came to the Showa era, it was also this season. At that time, Yamaguchi Momoe had just announced her retirement at a concert and went to live a sweet married life with her lover, Miura Tomokazu.

And it was also at this time of year that Nagayama Naoki also announced his relationship with Nakamori Akina, and was discussing how to show affection in front of the public...

It's truly an indescribable coincidence~

In the movie theaters, "Kikujiro" is a hit, and many theaters have increased the number of screenings.

More and more people are cheering for Nagayama Naoki's new movie, and even "Kinema Junpo" has, for the first time, published information about this movie again, as well as many reviews from movie lovers and evaluations from professionals...

Walking on the street, in the shops selling jewelry and pendants, the blue angel bell has become the best-selling product, and one can often see the blue figure hanging on bags or vehicles among couples and students.

And many, many viewers are arranging for a second or third viewing, just to collect the three different movie brochures.

At this rate, "Kikujiro" might be popular until the end of the year, becoming the most influential movie of the year.

And Nagayama Naoki, who produced this movie, is like someone who has nothing to do, and is idle in the studio again...

"Naoki-san, why is it that after the movie finished filming, you seem to have nothing to do all day... and are always an eyesore next to me?!" Aritomo Yoshitomo said very unhappily to Nagayama Naoki, who was doodling on the desk.

"Aritomo-san, you can't wrong people... I am clearly creating!" Nagayama Naoki explained.

"......." You writing music scores and lyrics I can understand, but what is the meaning of drawing these messy things on the manuscript paper right now! Volleyball? Want to shoot a basket?" Aritomo Yoshitomo pointed at the graffiti on the manuscript paper and complained.

"Uh......."

Nagayama Naoki looked at the black and white striped ball drawn on the manuscript paper, and the black hole underneath, and immediately explained:

"This is actually the 12th Angel, named Night Angel! This volleyball... phew, the spherical object covered in black and white stripes... is actually just the appearance of this Angel. The true body of this Angel is actually the black shadow underneath that can devour matter. Inside the black shadow, there is also an imaginary space called the 'Dirac Sea'..."

Aritomo Yoshitomo only felt that everything Nagayama Naoki said was Japanese, but when put together, it became bird language that he couldn't understand at all!

"Naoki-san... even if you can't explain it for a moment, you don't have to work so hard to make up such a lie to deceive me..."

"No, I didn't lie to you! This is an anime I conceived! It's called 'EVA', Neon Genesis Evangelion!" Nagayama Naoki hurriedly continued to explain. "These are Angels that descended from the sky, the scientific name is Angel... they are here to destroy humanity!"

Next was a bunch of things like "Second Impact", "General-purpose Humanoid Decisive Weapon", "Human Instrumentality Project", "Unit-01", "Ayanami Rei", and other things that made people unable to understand...

"Stop! Stop!"

The fast-paced explanation and the large amount of complex information made Aritomo Yoshitomo's eyes dizzy, and he hurriedly crossed his palms to make a stop gesture.

"Alright, alright, Naoki-san! I admit you are creating! Although it is a very strange thing..."

"However, are you planning to enter the anime industry?"

Nagayama Naoki took a sip of water and nodded:

"After all, anime movies are a very big cake in movies. The 'Mobile Suit Gundam' movie is also very popular... A few years ago, the 'Animation New Century Declaration', didn't tens of thousands of fans go to the scene?"

"However... producing animated movies is a completely different model from the movies we are filming right now..." Aritomo Yoshitomo was a little worried. "Can we do it?"

"Look at Shochiku and the others, aren't they all like this! There's a first time for everything~" Nagayama Naoki comforted. "Besides, we won't be in such a hurry... This is a plan for the next five years!"

"Oh? Naoki-san has already thought so far ahead?!" Aritomo Yoshitomo asked in surprise, seemingly full of surprise at Nagayama Naoki's foresight.

"Hahaha, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning~"

After staying with Aritomo Yoshitomo for a while, Nagayama Naoki didn't go to the editing room to see Idou Xiuichi, but instead drove out directly.

He originally just stopped by the studio, but today's main task was actually to get the official seal of his personal studio, and after chatting with Akina, he had already agreed to participate in the recording of Fuji TV's love variety show.

However, this time it was as a pure guest, not a planning supervisor or anything... which means there is a labor fee to be earned!

After getting the official seal from Tsunoda Taoxi, Nagayama Naoki drove to the Fuji TV headquarters in Shinjuku.

As one of the five largest TV stations, Fuji TV is very busy. The headquarters building is always full of vehicles coming and going, as well as personnel coming in and out, many of whom are faces often seen on TV... So it also led to the main entrance of Fuji TV always being the focus of media attention.

When Nagayama Naoki arrived here, when he slowed down to park at the entrance, he was discovered by paparazzi, and the sound of clicking shutters was endless... But fortunately, there was a doorman, and the paparazzi didn't come up to harass him.

It was nothing for him to come to Fuji TV alone, but immediately after, another Ken-On car came, which made the paparazzi excited... Nakamori Akina is here too!

Why did they come at the same time? Coincidence? Or was it arranged? Why?

Many people started walking toward the phone booth next to them, notifying familiar media reporters, or finding acquaintances to inquire about the news.

And in the parking lot, Nagayama Naoki got out of the car and stood aside, waiting for Akina's arrival.

"Naoki-san!"

Nakamori Akina had already seen her boyfriend, and after parking the car, she ran over with light steps. Sure enough, everyone who sees the person they like will run!

"Akina, what a coincidence~ Have you finished taking the photos?"

Nagayama Naoki smiled and held Nakamori Akina's hand. They had agreed on the meeting time with Sugiura Daitai, so they could arrive at about the same time.

"Mm, finished filming a set of promotional photos in Akasaka in the morning. Then I rushed here."

"Let's go up together."

"Good~"

A blush appeared on Akina's fair face; she was a little shy but also a little happy. Holding hands openly in front of others was something that had never happened before! This time, because they were recording a romance variety show, they could start showing affection and hyping up their scandal even before the program production began.

Now, although they are in the parking lot, there are probably several cameras outside secretly filming this scene!

The two walked happily toward the elevator, while Myoko Mingxing Fangze and Ueda Maki, who were following behind, had their faces tightened... Ever since they knew the two had taken this program, they knew that for a period of time in the future, they would have to live in the sour smell of love...

After arriving at the conference room, Sugiura Daitai, Nishi Rumi, and Akimoto Yasushi all came~

"Naoki-san, for this 'Love Journey' route, we plan to go from Hokkaido all the way down, just coinciding with the route of Momijigari (red leaf hunting)...

Along the way, there are hot springs, trains, food, red leaves... During this trip, you and Akina just need to show the state of being in love...

We will naturally also design small games and various plots in the program, which will be adjusted according to the actual situation of the program recording..."

Sugiura Daitai introduced the general situation of this program recording to the two, but he said that the specific details can be adjusted in real-time. After all, the absolute protagonists of this program are Nagayama Naoki and Nakamori Akina, and these two are not ordinary artists who can be manipulated at will...

Akimoto Yasushi added from the side: "We will record the whole process with cameras. Of course, there are places where the two need to cooperate during filming... We will discuss it in advance!"

Nishi Rumi also said: "The expenses on the road are fully reimbursed... The hotels are all high-end hotels, and there will be comfortable transportation on the road..."

The three people from Fuji TV were all full of sincerity. Myoko Mingxing Fangze was very surprised listening from the side. This was the first time he had encountered such an easy-to-talk-to, or even flattering, program team in his many years of practice... They are people from Fuji TV!

In other programs, for guest artists, many program directors are full of majesty and say one thing is one thing! Some will even scold on the spot when they encounter uncooperative staff, and others will threaten with breach of contract fees and the artist's reputation...

"Mm-hmm~" Nagayama Naoki looked at the specific program plan and indicated that there was no problem at all. "Daitai-san, the production cycle of this program is two weeks, right?"

"Hai! Considering Akina-san's schedule, and other programs at the end of the year, in addition to location shooting, we also have some footage recorded in the studio. We must strive to broadcast in mid-October." Sugiura Daitai nodded.

"Is it 7 episodes when it's finally broadcast?"

"Hai! Just one week~"

After asking about all aspects of the program, Nagayama Naoki had no objections, and Nakamori Akina on the other side was naturally the same. After that, it was naturally about signing contracts and such.

"Then let's prepare to start the love journey the day after tomorrow!"

Sugiura Daitai said vigorously. Variety shows in this era are generally started as soon as they are said. Under the competitive atmosphere, the speed is very fast.

When leaving the Fuji building, Nagayama Naoki looked at the sky:

"Akina, do you want to have lunch together?"

"....." Nakamori Akina looked at Myoko Mingxing Fangze in a bit of a dilemma.

"Ahem~" At this time, playing the villain... there was no other way. "Naoki-san, Akina-chan has to participate in a program in Yamazaki Prefecture in the afternoon and needs to rush over, so lunch has to be eaten in the car."

"Is that so....."

His girlfriend is really busy! Tomorrow she seems to be going to Fukushima to participate in an event...

"Then there's no way~" Nagayama Naoki could only sigh. "Then we can only see each other the day after tomorrow~"

Nakamori Akina answered with a smile: "After the day after tomorrow, I can be with Naoki-san for two consecutive weeks!"

"Mm~~"

Just at this moment, Nagayama Naoki noticed several paparazzi squatting at the entrance of the parking lot, working hard to film...

"Akina?"

"Nani?"

"How about I kiss you now?"

"Eh?!" Nakamori Akina only felt that she had misheard. "Naoki-san, what did you say?"

"Look at those people secretly filming over there..." Nagayama Naoki signaled in the direction of the paparazzi. "Since we are going to record a love variety show, do you want to make a big news first?"

"This...... is this okay?!"

Akina was a little excited and a little shy. A kind of exciting feeling hit her heart, and her heartbeat accelerated.

And Myoko Mingxing Fangze and Ueda Maki, who heard it from the side, had already turned around early!

"It's okay! Anyway, everyone knows you are my girlfriend now!"

"...... Then..... then alright!"

So, Nagayama Naoki lowered his head and slowly approached Akina's delicate cheek, and kissed his girlfriend on the corner of her mouth openly!

For a moment, he only felt that the flashes at the entrance of the parking lot were constant,

The sound of clicking was almost reaching here! ===== CHAPTER 725 =====
