Chapter 792: *Love Generation* officially broadcast!

The first episode of *Love Generation* was finally broadcast~

The handsome hero Nishijo Hideki attracted the audience's attention as soon as he appeared, especially the long-haired style, which made old fans full of memories.

And the youthful and cute Kikuchi Momoko also made the audience in front of the TV shine.

The wonderful feelings between urban men and women started from missing the last train...

Nagayama Naoki hugged his girlfriend and looked at the screen on the TV, a bit fascinated... Although he had seen the initially edited version, this official version with opening and ending transitions and theme songs was still very interesting to watch.

"Eh eh! Cut it! Cut it!" Nakamori Akina exclaimed while biting potato chips, "Hideki-san's hair was cut off!"

"......."

Nagayama Naoki looked at his girlfriend in his arms with a bit of speechlessness,

"Akina... Do all you artists connect the characters in the TV series with their real identities?"

Nakamori Akina looked at Nagayama Naoki in surprise:

"Naoki-san, aren't you also an artist? When you meet a real person who is more recognizable than the character, of course you will bring it in."

"I changed careers..." Nagayama Naoki complained, "Then does Akina-chan feel that Nishijo Hideki-san carries a lot of his own characteristics, right?"

"Hai! That's it~" Nakamori Akina nodded, "But it's still very interesting!"

"I see..." Nagayama Naoki silently remembered it in his heart and decided to talk to Kijima Xu later to make improvements in the following episodes.

"How does Akina feel about this TV series?" At the end, Nagayama Naoki asked.

"Very relaxed, very interesting feeling..." Nakamori Akina said, "Although I haven't worked, white-collar life is probably like this~"

"White-collar..." Nagayama Naoki's mouth moved, "People who sit in cubicles and go to jail..."

"Eh, is it that scary?"

"Akina, let me tell you... Don't envy white-collar workers. If you stay in a cubicle for a long time, you will have lumbar muscle strain, shoulder and neck pain, high blood pressure and fatty liver..."

Nagayama Naoki said from experience, and finally concluded,

"When you are old, you will be kicked out by the company, and the money you earn will have to be spent on medical treatment... Ah, wait, it seems to be a lifetime employment system in Nihon..."

"......"

Nakamori Akina looked at her boyfriend in confusion, not knowing why Naoki-san knew so much about white-collar workers... Obviously he had never worked~

At the same time, thousands of households were watching the prime-time TV series on Fuji TV~

The exaggerated yet realistic work, the long hair kept by the hero Katagiri Teppei, is like the stubbornness remaining in young corporate slaves, which resonated with many people.

And the moment this long hair was cut off, it cut off the hero's uniqueness and stubborn self, and also seemed to cut into the hearts of the audience.

"Too much!" "Why did Riko do this?!" "For such a person, I definitely won't talk to him in the future!"

Various discussions came out of the audience's mouths. Originally, I thought it was an ordinary love story. After meeting at night, they would know each other and meet logically, and have a sweet love!

And this move at the end made people's attention to this TV series rise a lot all of a sudden...

"What will the plot be like next?"

"Is it forced to wash white?"

Countless audiences thought about this in their heads and gradually fell into a dream~

Early the next morning, even though it was the weekend, it felt as if a cat's paw was constantly scratching at his heart...

What will happen next? What on earth will happen!

TV stations have no weekends.

Nagayama Naoki received a call from Sugiura Daitai at home:

"Naoki-san, just as you expected, the average ratings of the first episode reached about 22%, and the highest instantaneous ratings were really at the scene of cutting hair!"

"Haha, at the beginning, it must have been watched because of the fame of Nishijo Hideki and Kikuchi Momoko, plus the audience of Fuji TV itself, so it had such a high starting point."

Nagayama Naoki analyzed,

"However, for the next episode, it depends on the appeal of this TV series."

"Hai, but Naoki-san don't worry..." Sugiura Daitai said excitedly, "Since the broadcast yesterday, the TV station has received many hotline calls from viewers, and until this morning, there are still many people coming to inquire."

"That's really great!"

Nagayama Naoki himself did not doubt the excellence of *Love Generation*, because in addition to the love in the office, the complicated and messy emotional lines in it are enough to attract most bored women...

Plus Nishijo Hideki's handsome appearance that eats both big and small, it will definitely be able to win over a large group of fans.

"We are looking forward to the next broadcast..." Sugiura Daitai continued, "By the way, Naoki-san, many viewers called to ask what the crystal apple in the TV series means..."

"......" Nagayama Naoki was helpless, "It symbolizes love! Love like crystal... What else could it be?"

Sugiura Daitai was silent: "I thought it symbolized the apple that tempted Adam and Eve to eat in the Garden of Eden..."

Nagayama Naoki laughed:

"You have to treat the audience as children. Too many metaphors, others can't see them. Simple and rude is the hard truth!"

"...... Naoki-san said it makes sense......"

After chatting with Sugiura Daitai, Nagayama Naoki felt relieved and prepared to spend a leisurely weekend.

Little did he know, the trend of crystal apples began to spread in Nihon...

Weekday, studio.

"What is this?" Yin Yin Tangxiuyi took the file bag in Nagayama Naoki's hand with great curiosity.

"Script, this is the script!" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Didn't Xiuyi-san ask me for a good script before?"

"?!!"

Yin Yin Tangxiuyi was very surprised,

"Naoki-san, I asked you for a script last week, right? You wrote one so quickly? You must be possessed by a monster?!"

"...... Shut up!" Nagayama Naoki squinted at Yin Yin Tangxiuyi, "Don't look at geniuses with your eyes..."

"Tsk tsk tsk~" Yin Yin Tangxiuyi opened the file bag and saw the title of the document, which clearly wrote a few big characters—*Squid Game*.

Nagayama Naoki then began to explain:

"This script was just found at the bottom of the box by me on the weekend... It was written during the filming of *Kikujiro*... However, because the plot inside is too advanced and very bloody and violent, I pressed it at the bottom of the box..."

"Last time Xiuyi-san said he wanted to film something different, so I remembered this script... So I brought it over~"

Yin Yin Tangxiuyi had already turned to the outline, and was immediately attracted by the background introduction of this story.

Taking life as a bet, participating in a game where failure means death and living means winning hundreds of millions in prize money... Once you participate, you must never quit!

"This setting..." Yin Yin Tangxiuyi touched his chin and tasted it carefully, "is asking how much your life is worth?"

"And... to explore the changes in human nature under extreme situations, inner choices..." Nagayama Naoki talked endlessly about the pros and cons of the script, and then said, "And one more point... very bloody and violent... very exciting!"

"That is to be able to attract the audience..."

Yin Yin Tangxiuyi added the next sentence, and then continued to read with great interest. Such a script is something he has never seen in the current movies and TV series.

And, the point of "a game with life as the price" seems to have great potential, and it is possible to open up a subdivided field of movies!

"Sure enough, it is Naoki-san, the shot is different..."

Nagayama Naoki shook his head. He originally wanted to give *Battle Royale*, but now Nihon's bubble hasn't risen yet, let alone the unemployment, depression, and loss of people's confidence after the bubble burst...

Without such a social background, *Battle Royale* is just an ordinary blood-plasma film.

Just at this time, Fangcun Fangcun Dayou, who had been listening, suddenly asked:

"Naoki-san, you wrote this script when filming *Kikujiro*?"

"Well, Tanaka Yuko-san happened to be there at that time, and I had inspiration when chatting with her..." Nagayama Naoki explained slightly.

"....... Actually wrote a script full of violence and blood while filming a warm comedy... And it was inspired by chatting with a very charming lady..."

Fangcun Fangcun Dayou's eyes became more and more strange, and he said to Yin Yin Tangxiuyi, who was reading carefully:

"Xiuyi-san, our Naoki-san's brain is really different from normal people! You said we two have to be careful, he might be thinking about murder plots now!"

"......." Nagayama Naoki was speechless.

And Yin Yin Tangxiuyi said indifferently:

"Fangcun Dayou-san, look at it openly... At least we are in the same camp as Naoki-san now. If Naoki-san turns into a serial killer one day, we only need to surrender quickly, and we will definitely live to the end!"

"Hahaha~ That makes sense!"

Listening to the teasing of the two guys, Nagayama Naoki folded two paper planes with manuscript paper:

"I will let the plane hit you to death!"

"Ah... I'm dead~"

Fangcun Fangcun Dayou, who was hit, pretended to die~ The atmosphere in the office suddenly relaxed a lot.

Next, while Yin Yin Tangxiuyi was reading the script, Fangcun Fangcun Dayou and Nagayama Naoki chatted about the development of several idols in Shu You.

"Junko-chan has nothing to say, the idol career can last for a few years... But after that, we have to consider changing careers... Maybe retiring directly is possible." Fangcun Fangcun Dayou first chatted about the idol with the most seniority.

"Well... If an idol wants to get married and retire, our agency absolutely supports it!"

Nagayama Naoki himself didn't treat idols as commodities and didn't have the habit of other agencies frantically squeezing artists. In fact, at the beginning, Shu You didn't want to sign female idols at all...

It was completely that Nagayama Naoki raised the wrong card... And after that, Nagayama Naoki also invested a lot of energy to compensate Ito Junko.

The Cat's Eye Three Sisters was purely a girl group experiment~

However, the subsequent Saito Yuki, Kikuchi Momoko, and Kobirumaki Kobirumaki Kaoru were signed for filming movies, and Aoyama Chikako was because of the neighborhood... As for Kudo Shizuka and Miyazawa Rie, it was completely the attitude of driving a group of sheep when driving one sheep.

"Momoko-chan is busy with *Love Generation*, others have more or less free time..." Fangcun Fangcun Dayou said, "Naoki-san, do you have any plans for them?"

"Hmm..." Nagayama Naoki thought of *Little Sister's Diary*... There happened to be four sisters in it! 【792

"As for the others..."

Naoki Nagayama thought of *Our Little Sister*... it just so happened to have four sisters in it!

"Yuki-chan, Chika-chan, Kobirumaki Kaoru-chan... you will participate in the filming of a movie this year, *Our Little Sister*~" Naoki Nagayama arranged the work for them.

"As for the Cat's Eye trio..."

Naoki Nagayama was in a dilemma. These three members were originally models for adult magazines. Although they definitely checked the boxes for fair skin, beauty, and long legs, they were a bit older, and their potential was about as far as it would go...

"As for them... I haven't decided yet... let them keep mixing in the programs for now~ participating in more TV dramas and playing supporting roles is fine too..."

"Yes, I understand~"

Kuniharu Morikawa sighed; he still had feelings for the Wild Cat Group.

Naoki Nagayama could see it, and he said with a smile, "If Morikawa-san still wants to try running a girl group, you can try operating one yourself..."

"This... I will consider it!"

Kuniharu Morikawa was now at the very top of Shu-You, and if he wanted to support a girl group, it was certainly possible...

Naoki Nagayama had only come to deliver a script, and after chatting in the office for over an hour, he prepared to leave.

As he walked out, he happened to see Xing Jiahua and Suzuki Xingxia receiving a large package at the front desk...

"Hua-chan, Suzuki Xingxia-chan... did you buy something?" Naoki Nagayama stopped to watch out of curiosity, "Such a big package..."

"It's crystal apples!" Suzuki Xingxia said, rushing to answer, "In the fan club managed by Shu-You, many people are discussing the crystal apples, so we bought a bunch to use as prizes..."

Besides selling idol merchandise, they also had to hold activities in the fan club to stimulate engagement!

"Oh? Many people are discussing them?"

Naoki Nagayama took a crystal apple out of the box. The production quality wasn't as high-end as the one he had custom-made, but it was still clear and translucent, very beautiful.

"Yes!" Xing Jiahua also replied, "Naoki-san, you don't know, since the weekend, my friends have all been discussing *Love Generation*, and the crystal apple in it..."

"When contacting other agencies, they knew *Love Generation* was produced by Shu-You, and many people also asked about the crystal apples..."

The two young girls excitedly explained the popularity of *Love Generation* to Naoki Nagayama, which even surprised him.

Clearly, when communicating with Fuji TV, they had only mentioned it had relatively excellent buzz!

Xing Jiahua finally said:

"Now, almost every craft shop in the shopping streets of Tokyo has crystal apples on display. Everyone is saying that the crystal apple is a symbol of love... so couples are all buying them!"

"..."

Clearly, the TV drama hadn't even reached the romantic plot points yet!

Naoki Nagayama felt like he had overlooked something... what exactly made the crystal apple suddenly become such a hit?!

He felt he had to go to Fuji TV to ask clearly...
