Chapter 813

The rumors about "Paradise Lost" are becoming more and more clamorous, and Naoki Nagayama hasn't been to the studio for the past few days...

Because he found that Yoshimura Otomo's eyes on him were a bit wrong, wavering between doubting Naoki Nagayama and doubting his own sources, but it looked like he was rapidly sliding toward doubting Naoki Nagayama.

"Sigh... it seems I can't hang around in front of him these days~"

Driving a convertible on the way to Ota Ward, Naoki Nagayama muttered to himself,

"Let's go see if 'The Camera Must Not Stop' can start filming~"

Near the Dream Factory in Ota Ward, it was originally an industrial area. Now abandoned factory areas should be easy to find, and with the indoor scenes already there, the filming location is easy to solve.

And "Love Century" is currently filming the second half of the episodes, so it's just right to go and see.

Because he didn't call the Dream Factory in advance, when Naoki Nagayama arrived, he only saw that it was lively inside, but no one received him.

The guard naturally recognized the boss of Tree Friend, hurriedly opened the gate, and welcomed Naoki Nagayama in... After parking the car, he found that Katsuyoshi Ishikawa had already rushed over.

"Naoki-san, why did you come suddenly today?!"

"Ah, came to see the scenes of the Dream Factory... to see if there is a film set suitable for the next film." Naoki Nagayama looked around, "There are a lot of people today!"

"Hai!" Katsuyoshi Ishikawa nodded and introduced to Naoki Nagayama, "There are two filming crews for other film projects... and those construction workers are here to build the new scenes requested by Shuichi-san~"

Naoki Nagayama knew that the park accepted filming by other crews, but Shuichi Ito's new scene... "Squid Game"?

"It seems Shuichi-san is looking forward to this TV series~"

Such a thought popped into Naoki Nagayama's mind, but he didn't show it on his face, but asked with great interest,

"Then how is the progress of the construction?"

Katsuyoshi Ishikawa explained: "Because the scene is relatively simple, after buying the factory building, just tear down the original structure and renovate it... It is currently under renovation, and it is expected to take about two months..."

Naoki Nagayama looked at the wall of the original Dream Factory park that also enclosed the two factory buildings next to it, and knew that the company had bought the two pieces of land over there.

"That is to say, if the previous films hadn't earned too much, Tree Friend would have been hollowed out~"

The film's share naturally left a part for the company's operation. This kind of investment in company development is indeed unavoidable.

"Ishikawa-kun, the 'Love Century' crew is filming, right?" Naoki Nagayama asked about the crew that was filming.

"Hai, please follow me~" Katsuyoshi Ishikawa nodded immediately and led Naoki Nagayama toward the set.

Hiroshi Kijima was nervously watching the performance in the office.

Teppei, as the male lead, suffered another blow at work. His advertising proposal was rejected by his boss, and he looked very depressed.

"Hideki-san, please express more disappointment..."

Hiroshi Kijima shouted with a paper megaphone. This paper megaphone actually couldn't amplify much sound, but it would focus the attention of the crew staff on himself. This is a trick he discovered during filming.

"Hai~ Sumimasen..."

Hideki Saijo also apologized honestly and prepared to do it again.

Naoki Nagayama sneaked into the crew at this time. Seeing this plot, he knew that the plot of "Love Century" had reached the most dog-blood part.

When Teppei went to buy wine in disappointment, he happened to meet his former first love girlfriend, who was now the prospective sister-in-law who had just broken off the engagement with his older brother, and then the two couldn't help but kiss... What's more dog-blood is that this scene was seen by Teppei's current girlfriend Riko, who was acting awkward!!!

Just from the text, you can see how complex this emotional line is!

I don't know how the screenwriter of "Love Century" thought of it at the beginning... Were they drunk?!

"Cut! This take is over!"

Hiroshi Kijima shouted cut after watching Hideki Saijo's new performance, and then discovered Naoki Nagayama who was watching in the crew.

"Naoki-san, when did you come?!"

"Just arrived, saw you were performing so I didn't disturb..." Naoki Nagayama laughed, "Should be filming the kissing scene next, right?"

"Hai, about to move to Teppei's room~" Hiroshi Kijima said.

Actually, that room is next door... but it belongs to the same modern urban indoor set, so it's not far away.

"Naoki-san!"

Hideki Saijo also came over to say hello. Now "Love Century" is very popular, making his popularity and exposure return to the peak of an idol, and the complex and realistic image of the male lead Teppei has made a breakthrough in his acting career. The roles he can receive in the future will surely be richer.

"Hideki-san, how is the filming process?"

"Hai, it's getting more and more handy now. I'm increasingly realizing the indecisiveness and complex image of the character Teppei..."

Hideki Saijo stroked his fluffy semi-long hair, as if he had already entered the character of Teppei in the play,

"On one hand, I like the current one, on the other hand, I can't forget my first love. This is the pain of men's love~"

"..." Wai wai wai, don't try to represent all men by yourself!

This is clearly the pain that only a scumbag has!

You're thinking of enjoying the blessings of both, right! It's better to open a harem!!!

Naoki Nagayama felt speechless, but looking at the men in the crew around him who all agreed, and even the girls didn't express any opposition... He found that in Japan, perhaps his values are the outlier.

In this day and age, it is indeed the case that many people buy into the set of "what's wrong with a charming man being romantic."

No wonder extramarital affairs and illicit love later became a culture on the surface of Japan, and songs, films, and books praising this phenomenon emerged one after another!

Maybe the women who become lovers also think they are charming~

"Ahem~" Naoki Nagayama cleared his throat, "Hideki-san has indeed grasped the essence..."

"Where, where, Naoki-san who wrote this script is the one who understands human nature~" Hideki Saijo walked to the side while talking to Naoki Nagayama, and then he asked with a strange expression, "Naoki-san, I heard that people are spreading that you are the author of 'Paradise Lost'... Is it true?"

"?!!!" Can't escape this question even here?

Naoki Nagayama wasn't surprised that Hideki Saijo would know. He had been in the entertainment industry for so long, and Hideki Saijo wasn't a rookie, so he was naturally familiar with the big shots.

"Heh~~~ You're not the first to ask me~" Naoki Nagayama's expression was calm, "Then what do you think?"

Throwing the question back, the questioner falls into a self-proving trap...

"This..." Hideki Saijo paused, "I originally thought that the writing style of 'Paradise Lost' would be a middle-aged writer... but everyone is saying it's Naoki-san... making me unsure too~"

"Haha, the author was anonymous because he didn't want people to know. The people who read it insist on exploring... I support the author, let others think what they want, I won't respond!"

Naoki Nagayama gave a mysterious lecture, then greeted Momoko Kikuchi who was preparing for the next scene on the set, and then talked to Hiroshi Kijima about the upcoming filming of "The Camera Must Not Stop."

Leaving Hideki Saijo confused, is Naoki-san admitting or denying? Why do these guys who write books always like to be riddlers?!

"Naoki-san, around the Dream Factory... there are indeed abandoned factories, on the piece near the wild land by the river..." Hiroshi Kijima said, "It used to be a dye factory, now it's abandoned because of too much pollution..."

With the development of Tokyo, factories that pollute water sources naturally cannot stay, and many have moved to third-world countries.

"But it is indeed lush with grass and trees, suitable as the film set for 'The Camera Must Not Stop' you just mentioned."

Naoki Nagayama nodded:

"That's good, I'll go see it right away..."

"Naoki-san, I'll go with you!" Hiroshi Kijima suggested.

"No need, aren't you still filming 'Love Century'? Can't delay..." Naoki Nagayama looked back at Katsuyoshi Ishikawa who had been by his side, "Ishikawa-kun will accompany me!"

"Hai, then I'm relieved~" Hiroshi Kijima patted Katsuyoshi Ishikawa on the shoulder. They were good friends when the Dream Factory was built, "Ishikawa, Naoki-san's safety is handed to you!"

"Hmm, leave it to me!"

Naoki Nagayama felt a tic-tac-toe mark explode on his forehead... He is a direct descendant of the yakuza, 1.8 meters tall, and he is very good at fighting, okay!

Why do you two seem to see him as a weak scholar?!

"Alright, let's go~ Kijima-kun, keep working hard!" Naoki Nagayama left the set of "Love Century" directly, let Katsuyoshi Ishikawa lead the way, and walked toward the abandoned dye factory.

After walking for less than ten minutes, Ota Ward, which was like a combination of city and country, gradually turned into a slope full of weeds. Following the vaguely visible road and climbing a slope, you could see a relatively large abandoned factory.

A three-story building, made of reinforced concrete, with relatively little damage, and the rusted gate was still hanging with a padlock.

However, the wall already had a gap, and Naoki Nagayama and Katsuyoshi Ishikawa followed it in~

"Looks like no one has been here for a long time..."

The interior of the main building of the factory is still fine. After all, the wind and rain were blocked outside. Except for dust and some damage, there were only traces left by small animals.

"Yeah, this piece is already considered the suburbs of the suburbs." Katsuyoshi Ishikawa wiped his soles on the steps with some disgust, having accidentally stepped on a small animal's gift just now.

"There shouldn't be any snakes, right?" Naoki Nagayama checked slightly.

"In this kind of place, it's hard to say..." Katsuyoshi Ishikawa was also a little scared when he heard this, "But I saw a lot of rat droppings nearby just now, there shouldn't be any snakes..."

"Mmm..."

For safety, Naoki Nagayama decided that the crew must at least follow a doctor, and before coming to film, hire someone to beat the grass to scare the snakes, and sprinkle snake repellent.

After turning around the abandoned factory twice, Naoki Nagayama and Katsuyoshi Ishikawa turned back and walked toward the Dream Factory.

"Ishikawa-kun, trouble you to contact the factory administrator as soon as possible, inform them that we want to borrow their venue, spend some money to rent it... for about a month." Naoki Nagayama said, "Get the keys and the design drawings..."

"Hai, I understand!"

Katsuyoshi Ishikawa nodded and agreed. He also knew that next, in Ota Ward, there would be a film directed by Naoki Nagayama himself!

Akina Nakamori is promoting "Meuamore" everywhere. Since its official release, this album has rushed into the top ten of the Oricon chart at a rapid speed.

Looking at the momentum, it will definitely stay in the top three for a long time, and even "The Best Ten" has already made an appointment with Akina Nakamori in advance, and will perform this song in the next live broadcast.

The masterpiece of a top idol singer's transformation, coupled with Akina Nakamori's wonderful interpretation, is simply refreshing.

And just at this time, some big shots in the entertainment industry seem to have felt the momentum of public opinion... Naoki Nagayama is the author of "Paradise Lost"? Then isn't the heroine Akina Nakamori?!

If this kind of news is exposed, then in the next month, the news of Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori will dominate the list again!

Combined with the name of this new song—"Meuamore," my lover...

This makes people have to wonder, is it Naoki Nagayama who deliberately used "Paradise Lost" to hype, so that Akina Nakamori can get explosive popularity during the new song sales period?!

Thereby obtaining higher sales... or even more?

Entering the mid-80s, with foreign music constantly pouring into Japan, the record sales of local music encountered strong opponents, so record companies can be said to be unscrupulous in promoting sales.

Bundling peripherals, singer meet-and-greets, and fan clubs are already routine operations, and manufacturing scandals during the new song release period has also been learned from film promotion!

Just like when Seiko Matsuda released a new album before, she publicly announced her breakup with Hiromi Go, and announced her relationship with Masaki Kanda two weeks later. Such news popularity has continued to this day!

Seiko Matsuda's new song "Angel's Wink" is also a work of musical style transformation, and the current sales firmly occupy the first place in the sales list!

"Akina-chan..." Akira Hanami seemed a little embarrassed, "Is 'Paradise Lost' really created by Naoki-san?"

Akina Nakamori naturally had already received the face-to-face instruction from her boyfriend, opening her two innocent eyes:

"Eh? I don't know~ I haven't heard Naoki-san mention it~ 'Paradise Lost'... I haven't read it yet~"

Her exquisite face was full of ignorance, as if she had never heard of this book. Akina Nakamori has always had a somewhat straightforward image, so Akira Hanami believed it completely~

No wonder they say beautiful girls are the best at lying. Clearly, Akina Nakamori was secretly reading it late at night for those few days!

"I see... then it might be a mistake in the rumors~"

Akira Hanami naturally didn't continue to ask. If he asked Maki Ueda and Fusoku Meiko, maybe he could get something from their mouths...

"However, since there are such rumors, there is no need for us at Burning Productions to clarify immediately."

As an experienced businessman, Akira Hanami naturally thought of the benefits of this popularity at once,

"Just pretend you didn't hear it... Even if a reporter asks, just say you don't know~"

Akina Nakamori naturally shouldn't hype scandals now. The exposure of this kind of rumor has great benefits for sales.

"Akina-chan will have to endure other people's eyes for a while~"

"....... Hai, I understand!"

Akina Nakamori nodded obediently. After walking out of the door, she immediately gasped for a few breaths. She almost revealed the truth in the office just now!

Must go back quickly and talk to Naoki-san properly!

And Akira Hanami in the office was moved by Akina Nakamori's maturity...

"Looking at it this way, after dating Naoki Nagayama, she has really grown up a lot~"
