Chapter 806: Is it easier to dig the corner of the wall next door?!

In the afternoon, Naoki Nagayama came to the studio.

"Naoki-san~" Yukika Suzuki was at the front desk, greeting very enthusiastically, "You're here~"

"Hai, good afternoon, Yukika-chan~"

With things on his mind, Naoki Nagayama just responded simply and then hurried towards the office.

Surprisingly, both Shuichi Ido and Otomo Yoshimura were there today~

"Xiu-san, Otomo-san, you are both here~" Naoki Nagayama also sat in his seat.

"Why did Naoki-san come in the afternoon?"

Shuichi Ido was a little curious. You know, Naoki Nagayama generally came in the morning, and then enjoyed life in the afternoon.

"I encountered something today..." Naoki Nagayama looked at Otomo Yoshimura, "Otomo-san, is there any news about Momoe Yamaguchi-san in the entertainment industry recently?"

"Momoe Yamaguchi?"

Otomo Yoshimura then turned his eyes over. He watched Momoe Yamaguchi from being unknown to being popular all over the country, and then suddenly retired when she was in full swing~

"If you want to say what news there is, it seems that Momoe Yamaguchi-san participated in a birthday celebration party with Tomokazu Miura at a club?"

He thought about it a little. There was indeed much less news about Momoe Yamaguchi. This news was already more than a month ago, and there was no photo~

Shuichi Ido was even more curious:

"Why did Naoki-san suddenly mention Momoe Yamaguchi? Is there any role you want to invite her to play? Or is there a new song suitable for her?"

"Neither..." Naoki Nagayama shook his head, somewhat sighing, "Do you know where Momoe Yamaguchi lives now?"

"Uh... seems to be a building in Minato Ward?" Otomo Yoshimura had some impression.

"Yeah, Takanawa 80 Building... 502~" Naoki Nagayama had already found out clearly from Keiko Fujita in the morning.

"How does Naoki-san know so clearly?!"

"Because I'm going to buy a new house in Takanawa 80 Building..." Naoki Nagayama shrugged, "Maybe I'll become neighbors with Momoe Yamaguchi~"

The two people in the office were surprised, and then associated with the fact that Naoki Nagayama was once a die-hard fan of Momoe Yamaguchi, and even attempted suicide because of Momoe Yamaguchi's retirement...

Also associated with the fact that Momoe Yamaguchi and Tomokazu Miura's careers are currently at a low point, and maybe their relationship is also...

Buying real estate next to her at this time, could it be that he is thinking of being close to the water and getting the moon first, and it is easier to dig the corner of the wall next door?

Otomo Yoshimura's face was a little subtle: "Cough cough... Naoki-san, for the young secret crush object... uh... you called it white moonlight, right?"

"??"

Naoki Nagayama looked at Otomo Yoshimura in surprise. He actually remembered this strange word after hearing it once,

"What's wrong with white moonlight?"

Otomo Yoshimura stammered and said strange words:

"Actually... everyone has longing in their youth... but those will pass... When Naoki-san gets older, you will realize that it is better to cherish the person in front of you..."

Shuichi Ido also echoed from the side:

"Yeah, yeah... cherish the person in front of you... Akina Nakamori is also so beautiful... and not worse than Momoe Yamaguchi..."

"..."

Speechless... Naoki Nagayama finally understood. These two guys actually thought he bought that house for Momoe Yamaguchi...

And worried that he would step on two boats and intervene in the former idol's marriage!!!

"How can your hearts be so filthy!" Naoki Nagayama despised, "Why do you think of things like extramarital affairs all day long!"

Seeing that Naoki Nagayama had no thoughts in this regard, Otomo Yoshimura breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile:

"There's no way, extramarital affairs are very common in Japan... and there has been a lot of discussion recently~"

"Why is there a discussion about this?" Naoki Nagayama asked suspiciously.

"I know a little bit about this..." Shuichi Ido hurriedly interjected, revealing a mysterious expression, "I heard it's a novel that is very popular in the upper class recently... called 'Lost Paradise'~"

"???"

Naoki Nagayama instantly felt inexplicable pressure.

Shuichi Ido was still talking eloquently:

"Recently, those elegant gatherings, when talking about literature, are discussing this novel... saying that the language is beautiful, especially the thinking about extramarital affairs, the emotions are sincere and moving, and the final double suicide is the sublimation of emotions..."

Otomo Yoshimura also echoed:

"Yeah, those rich guys, their own concepts are a bit different from ordinary people... However, other ordinary people are usually bound by the 'rules' of society... Seeing breaking the taboo of extramarital love in a novel is simply like describing themselves..."

"I really don't know who the author is! It must be a middle-aged person who has experienced a lot and seen through the world!"

"If you ask me, it must be a romantic guy, otherwise how could he write such vivid plots!"

Naoki Nagayama strategically took a sip of water, listening to the two discussing the erotic book he wrote, and felt a bit ashamed and uneasy!

And because of the need for confidentiality, Naoki Nagayama and Kuniharu Morikawa of Shogakukan had not communicated in time, and he didn't know much about the sales of the new novel.

"So... everyone is discussing this novel recently?"

"Yeah, yeah..." Shuichi Ido often participated in various social places recently and saw discussions about 'Lost Paradise' more than once, "I heard that even the mamasans of the clubs are praising this novel when communicating!"

Different from wind and moon shops, slightly higher-end clubs in Japan are places where guests can have a place to confide and relax in the constraints of the family...

The novel 'Lost Paradise' is erotic but not obscene, and its literary quality is very high. Talking about it is both ambiguous and artistic, as if even drinking flower wine has a sense of high-end, which can be said to be very consistent with the atmosphere of the club.

"Is it actually like this?"

Naoki Nagayama really didn't expect that 'Lost Paradise' would become popular in the club first~

"By the way~" Shuichi Ido paused and looked at Naoki Nagayama, "Naoki-san, you are also very famous in the literary circle, do you know this author named Sato?"

"........" Naoki Nagayama was silent, then his mouth moved, and he spat out a sentence, "Don't know..."

"Sure enough, you don't know either~" Shuichi Ido shook his head, "I heard that this author is very mysterious, there is no information at all, and the staff of Shogakukan don't know either..."

Otomo Yoshimura was also full of interest:

"Yeah, because he only contacts an editor named Kuniharu Morikawa, and the protagonist of the story is an editor of the publishing house... so many people guess that the author is that editor!"

"......."

Naoki Nagayama's face remained unchanged, continued to drink water, and prayed silently in his heart,

"Morikawa-san... rely on you, continue to be a shield for me!!!"

The two guys in the office chatted about this novel, almost forgetting Naoki Nagayama's previous affairs, and only asked after reacting:

"Naoki-san, why do you want to buy a house in Minato Ward?"

"Because Shamyoin is going to be renovated in a while... didn't I buy the small building next door last time~" Naoki Nagayama explained, "I just thought about buying an apartment to transition for a while... I didn't expect to buy the place where Momoe Yamaguchi lives..."

"Oh? Didn't expect?" Shuichi Ido raised his eyebrows, indicating that he didn't believe it.

"I really didn't expect... I only knew when Keiko Fujita took me to see the house." Naoki Nagayama tried to make the two friends believe him, "Actually, for Momoe Yamaguchi, I have completely no attention anymore... It was just a longing in my youth~"

"Oh ho~" "Hmm..."

"Let's believe you once!" Shuichi Ido nodded, "So today is to share this point with us?"

Naoki Nagayama came to the studio in the afternoon, and Shuichi Ido and Otomo Yoshimura both assumed that this guy must have something to say!

"Not just that..."

"The cherry blossoms in Shamyoin have bloomed~" When talking about business, Naoki Nagayama revealed a smile, "Plus it's going to be renovated, so I plan to hold a cherry blossom viewing party this weekend!"

"Cherry blossom viewing party~"

Shuichi Ido and Otomo Yoshimura both relaxed. Speaking of which, the cherry blossom viewing party in Shamyoin was almost becoming a reserved program of Naoki Nagayama in a year.

Friends who are close to Naoki Nagayama will come to gather, which is equivalent to a small circle~

"How about it, are you free this weekend?" Naoki Nagayama asked.

"That's for sure!" Shuichi Ido nodded directly, even if there was something, it could be pushed away~

Otomo Yoshimura also nodded: "The cherry blossoms in Shamyoin... are indeed very beautiful~"

"Hahaha, then it's settled!"

Laughter rang out from time to time in the office, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.

In the office of Shogakukan, Kuniharu Morikawa was lying on the desk, tired and thin, and even had dark circles under his eyes.

He had been sleeping in the office for two days...

It was because his wife suspected that he was the author of 'Lost Paradise' and that what he wrote was his own experience, so she forced him to ask who the author was every day, otherwise she would not give him public grain...

Causing him to not even dare to go home~

In Shogakukan, other colleagues would also come to inquire from time to time, and even acquaintances in the industry called him...

That newcomer Yuya Furuya, relying on being a relative, pestered him even more, wanting to know who the author was...

And yesterday, even Editor-in-Chief Toshiya Matsui told him that several big shots in the literary circle had gone to ask him, and his pressure was also very high, saying that he might not be able to hold on and would leak the fact that Naoki Nagayama was the author...

So let him communicate with Naoki Nagayama in advance, so as not to cause any misunderstanding between Shogakukan and him because of this...

"Naoki-san... it seems that it really can't be hidden anymore!" Kuniharu Morikawa sighed.

Originally, the author of a novel wanting to be anonymous was not a big deal. After all, readers only care about whether the egg is delicious, and generally don't care what the hen that laid the egg is like~

But he didn't expect that the novel 'Lost Paradise' would have such a big influence in the literary circle... Even the big shots that the Editor-in-Chief couldn't afford to offend wanted to know who the author was...

"In short... let's find a time to meet with Naoki-san first~" Kuniharu Morikawa pondered, "Just to communicate about the sales of 'Lost Paradise'..."

"Dong dong~"

Just at this time, the office door was knocked.

Then he saw a baby face walk in from the door, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, and a tea canister:

"Morikawa-san... this is the freshest tea leaves of this year, just received, I specially brought it for you to try!"

"......"

Looking at this flattering appearance, Kuniharu Morikawa only knew that taking things from others makes one short-handed, and eating others' food makes one soft-mouthed.

"Furuya-kun... I won't say it!"

"......" Yuya Furuya's face remained unchanged, put down the tea canister, "Morikawa-san... why bother? You and I both know that in the end, you will definitely tell me~"

"........ Who do you think I am?" Kuniharu Morikawa was righteous, "I am a senior editor who has been in the publishing industry for more than ten years. Everyone knows that my mouth is the tightest!!! Things I don't want to say, no one can knock open my mouth!"

"I heard that the Editor-in-Chief has already revealed his mouth... it seems that big shots also want to know..."

"He won't!" Kuniharu Morikawa's tone began to be a little unconfident, "Things promised to be kept secret will definitely be kept secret! I believe in the Editor-in-Chief!"

Looking at Kuniharu Morikawa's subtle expression, Yuya Furuya's eyes moved slightly:

"Morikawa-san... don't tell me you are really the author! This book is your autobiography, right?!"

You guessed half right!

Kuniharu Morikawa glanced at this editorial assistant,

"....... Don't have such a rich imagination as a child!"

"Heh~ I will know sooner or later!"

After Yuya Furuya closed the door and went out, Kuniharu Morikawa's originally straight spine collapsed again, and he could only mutter in his mouth...

"Naoki-san... what should I do~"

After leaving the studio, it was not yet dusk, Naoki Nagayama didn't want to go home for a while, looked at the slightly dim sky, and suddenly thought of...

"Akina seems to be recording 'Meuamoré' for the first time today?"

'Night Hit' next Monday will start promoting this new song. Such a long program has to be recorded in advance today, and then edited.

"Should I go take a look..."

Such a thought seemed to have taken root in his mind~

However, clearly they were together in the morning, and going to peek at Akina's recording in the afternoon, wouldn't it seem a bit clingy?! Can't even accept being separated for a day?

For the sake of his masculinity, Naoki Nagayama was caught in a dilemma~

"Fuji TV..." Naoki Nagayama pondered for a while, and then said to himself, "'Love Generation' has been playing for so long, it's time to go and communicate the broadcast situation in person!"

After convincing himself like this, Naoki Nagayama drove towards Fuji TV with a relaxed face. It was definitely not to peek at his girlfriend!

The headquarters building of Fuji TV was still the same as before, and Naoki Nagayama didn't even have to stop and drove directly into the parking lot.

He took out the souvenirs from the trunk of the car, carried the bag and walked towards the elevator. When passing a pile of small vans, he could see Akina's blue Porsche parked there...

However, Naoki Nagayama naturally didn't stop, but took the elevator directly to the floor where Taizo Sugiura and Rumi Nishi were.

"Naoki-san?"

As soon as the elevator door opened, he saw Yasushi Akimoto coming towards him, looking like he was in a hurry to leave.

"Akimoto-san? Are you going out?"

"Hai, I'm going to the set..." Yasushi Akimoto said to Naoki Nagayama, "Did Naoki-san just return from abroad?"

"Returned for two days..." Naoki Nagayama smiled, "But I only came to Fuji TV today..."

"So that's it."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Yasushi Akimoto hurried away to produce his love variety show, leaving only a thick back.

"Yasushi Akimoto is completely busy with the new love variety show..." Naoki Nagayama sighed, "It seems that 'Twilight Meow Meow' is really going to be discontinued~"

If it wasn't going to be discontinued, as the main planner, he would definitely not have such time.

However, after people left, Naoki Nagayama reacted:

"Eh... forgot to give the souvenir..."

After arriving at the office of the first production group, Naoki Nagayama knocked on the door and saw that both Taizo Sugiura and Rumi Nishi were at their workstations.

"Taizo-san, Rumi-san..."

"Naoki-san! Why are you here?!" Both were very happy to see Naoki Nagayama, hurriedly stood up and took Naoki Nagayama to the guest area.

"Didn't I go to Brazil some time ago, brought back some souvenirs..." Naoki Nagayama gave the souvenirs to the two, "Just saw Akimoto-san, didn't have time to give it to him... trouble you to help pass it on~"

"Of course no problem!"

Taizo Sugiura opened the bag and looked, they were all handicrafts with Rio de Janeiro characteristics, and a jar of jam... And Rumi Nishi beside him took it out and played with it happily~

"Arigato, Naoki-san~" "Haha, it's all incidental~"

The three exchanged pleasantries for a while, chatted about their experiences abroad, and then talked about the situation of the TV station recently.

"I just saw Akimoto-san go to produce a love variety show... Then is there anyone in charge of 'Twilight Meow Meow' now?"

Taizo Sugiura sighed: "Now it's handed over to ordinary planners to maintain... Naoki-san, this program still hasn't improved in February... It looks like it's going to be discontinued~"

The discontinuation of 'Twilight Meow Meow' was already a nail in the coffin~

"Ha, that's also something that can't be helped... When it was planned, it was a program that rose and fell quickly." Naoki Nagayama was not surprised, but asked, "Is the time set?"

"It's in mid-March... finally, the last episode before discontinuation will be planned."

Taizo Sugiura said the TV station's plan and looked at Naoki Nagayama: "By the way, the last episode will invite all the members of the former Meow Meow Club... the Wild Cat Group on your side, and Kaoru Kobirumaki, Shizuka Kudo..."

"No problem~" This kind of human favor announcement must be attended.

"That's good..."

After saying this, Taizo Sugiura was slightly sentimental. The discontinuation of a program made both of them silent for a while.

Then Naoki Nagayama changed the subject:

"Taizo-san... Tree Friend's 'Love Generation', should be fine now, right?"

"Ah, 'Love Generation'!" Taizo Sugiura smiled, "Rumi knows this better... She is already a loyal fan!"

"Oh? Really?" Naoki Nagayama looked at Rumi Nishi.

"Taizo-san~" Rumi Nishi complained embarrassedly, and then said somewhat coyly, "'Love Generation' is indeed very attractive..."

"The ratings of the latest episode have reached 35%... This is the best result for a TV series in the past two years!"

Naoki Nagayama laughed: "Hahaha, it seems everyone likes it very much~ The performances of the male and female leads are very in place."

Rumi Nishi curled her lips:

"I think it's too in place... Teppei played by Hideki Saijo-san is indecisive, making people want to give him a punch after watching it!"

This is the plot where the abuse is about to start. The relationship between the male lead Teppei and the female lead Riko will be tested in various ways...

Naoki Nagayama complained in his heart: "The next few episodes will make you want to hit him even more!"

Rumi Nishi chattered about her views on 'Love Generation', and also told Naoki Nagayama the audience feedback received by the TV station.

To summarize, it is:

'Love Generation' is very popular, simply making people unable to stop...

After finally soothing the somewhat excited Rumi Nishi and chatting with Taizo Sugiura, time passed unknowingly to dusk.

Then he was pulled to a nearby restaurant by the two and had a good meal~

When the red clouds filled the sky, Naoki Nagayama returned to the headquarters of Fuji TV again...

"Taizo-san, I'll go watch the recording of 'Night Hit'..."

"Ah, Naoki-san is going to visit the set!" Rumi Nishi teased.

"Haha~ just go back together at night."

Naoki Nagayama admitted generously. Anyway, it has already been officially announced, what is there to be afraid of.

"It's really enviable~"

Rumi Nishi naturally had no reason to stop him, and Taizo Sugiura beside him pointed out the location of the studio, and then parted ways with Naoki Nagayama~

Watching Naoki Nagayama's figure disappear at the corner, Rumi Nishi sighed:

"Are these two the best actors in 'Love Generation'..."

Taizo Sugiura shook his head:

"Naoki-san is much more frank about his feelings than Teppei... Forget it, don't think about them... Rumi, if you are envious, hurry up and find someone to fall in love with!"

"...... Need to be able to find it~" ===== CHAPTER 807 =====
