Japanese big things

The disturbances from the outside world have not disturbed Masahiro Nakamura. In addition to participating in the routine promotion work of the movie "Model Student" as usual, he basically lives a monotonous life in the office and apartment.

The operation of the office was normal, and there was no need for the president Masahiro Nakamura to intervene, so he just kept paying attention and occasionally asked, and became the hands-off shopkeeper.

The thing that really interests Nakamura Masahiro is the cooperation with the Cultural Promotion Fund. In addition, there is also an animated film in cooperation with Genki Kawamura and Makoto Shinkai.

Animated movies are relatively simple. Nakamura Masahiro's memory fragments contain the complete plot of "Kun no Name." He only needs to make modifications and additions based on the first draft written by Genki Kawamura and Makoto Shinkai.

Even though it dragged on for a while, it was now completely completed. Nakamura Masahiro checked "Kun no Name は." again. After confirming that there were no problems, he sent it to Kawamura Genki and Shinkai Makoto respectively.

As for the matter of cooperating with the Cultural Promotion Fund, Nakamura Masahiro feels embarrassed that he has delayed it until now. After all, he has never been able to spare time.

After a passionate phone conversation, Nakamura Masahiro assured the other party that he would go to Kanazawa at the end of June to officially start work.

Suddenly, a cell phone rang suddenly. After coming back to his senses, Masahiro Nakamura grabbed his cell phone and took a look at the caller ID, then answered the call directly.

"Moses, Moses, Meixiang, what's the matter?"

"President, TBS TV station has confirmed the project..."

Mika Ito's voice came out, soft and sweet, and she said in a reporting tone: "There will probably be a role selection event in July, and Yoshioka-san can just go and participate."

"Have you not decided on the role yet?"

Hearing Mika Ito's words, Nakamura Masahiro couldn't help but frowned. He asked with a hesitant expression: "I remember that during the previous negotiations, the main character Mei Lin was left in our hands..."

Because TBS TV station participated in the production committee of the movie "Model Student", it obtained the rights to adapt the TV series of "Model Student".

With the box office success of the movie "Model Student", both its popularity and influence have increased to an extremely high level.

Therefore, TBS TV station also wanted to take advantage of this wave of popularity, so it put the TV series adaptation plan of "Model Student" on the agenda.

According to the original negotiation agreement, Nakamura Masahiro retained the right to choose the role of the protagonist Mei Lin, so when TBS TV station launched the adaptation plan, of course Nakamura Masahiro was involved.

As Nakamura Masahiro's agency focuses on cultivating artists like Riho Yoshioka, the reserved role in "Model Student" is of course reserved for her.

Now, according to Ito Mika, there seems to be signs of a change of heart on the TBS TV station? Of course, Nakamura Masahiro cannot agree.

"The role must belong to Yoshioka-san. TBS TV station means... they want to promote it through selection activities."

When Mika Ito said this, Masahiro Nakamura suddenly realized that "Model Student" has a great influence at the moment, and holding such a related character selection activity will definitely attract attention.

As long as it was guaranteed that Riho Yoshioka would play the role of Mei Lin in "Model Student", Masahiro Nakamura had no objections and didn't want to ask too many questions.

In fact, using character selection activities for publicity and hype is normal in any entertainment industry.

For example, the "Dream of Red Mansions" talent show held by the entertainment industry on the other side in the past few years was well known to everyone for its huge momentum.

It’s just that there are too many gory and shady things in it, and in the end it feels like a piece of cake.

"How about Yoshioka-san's acting training?"

After a pause, Nakamura Masahiro changed the topic and asked about Riho Yoshioka's acting training.

"The agency is pushing her hard this time. If her acting skills are not up to par, everyone's faces will not look good."

Although Riho Yoshioka, with the strong support of the agency, will definitely be able to successfully play the role of Mei Lin in the TV series version of "Model Student".

But if her performance is poor due to her lack of acting skills, then not only will she be criticized, but the agency will also be criticized.

Even though TBS TV station won't say anything, it won't be that easy when the agency wants to recruit Riho Yoshioka to play the main role.

The environment in Japan's entertainment industry is very different from that in the entertainment industry on the other side. TV dramas implement a responsibility system.

To put it bluntly, the ratings of a TV series are all the responsibility of the actors who serve in them: if the ratings are good, it is of course an honor for the actors; but if the ratings are poor, they will not be able to escape the blame.

Perhaps, it doesn't matter if you fail in a TV series in the entertainment industry on the other side. As long as you have the capital to support you, you can still easily play the leading role.

But in the environment of the Japanese entertainment industry, if an actor messes up a TV series, it is not only normal practice to bow and apologize with tears, but it is also possible to kneel down and apologize.

No matter how powerful the affiliated agency is, it is still very difficult to recruit actors with poor ratings to play leading roles again.

"Yoshioka-san's training has always been very serious, and his acting skills have also been greatly improved..."

Mika Ito quickly replied: "The acting teacher said that Yoshioka-san's acting skills should be suitable for the role of Meilin in "Model Student"."

"should?"

Hearing this term, Nakamura Masahiro felt a little dissatisfied, but he didn't have much to say about the acting teacher's evaluation of Yoshioka Riho.

In a sense, the acting teacher also confirmed that Riho Yoshioka's acting skills are pretty good.

"The main thing is to see whether Yoshioka-san can figure out this role well. Her performance is very important..."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Okay... Meixiang, please tell Yoshioka-san that if she fails in her performance this time, it will be impossible for her to play the leading role next time.

.”

Having said that, regardless of whether Ito Mika understood what he meant, Nakamura Masahiro hung up the phone.

Then, he stood up and moved his waist a little. After the fatigue was slightly relieved, Nakamura Masahiro got up and packed up and walked out the door.

I ate something casually on the way, and about half an hour later, Masahiro Nakamura appeared in the office.

"President..."

"President..."

Facing the office staff who saluted and greeted him, Masahiro Nakamura, who kept walking, nodded slightly and responded.

Entering the president's office, Nakamura Masahiro sat down. Before he could take a breath, the ringtone of his cell phone rang quickly like an alarm clock again.

He glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was the guy Akimoto Yasushi. He didn't know what was going on?

While speculating in his mind, Nakamura Masahiro answered the phone and said: "Moses Moses, this is Nakamura Masahiro..."

"Nakamura-san, it didn't affect your work, right?"

Akimoto Yasushi's hearty laughter sounded. Something good must have happened to him? Even through the phone, Nakamura Masahiro could feel Akimoto Yasushi's good mood.

"No, I just arrived at the office..."

After replying casually, Nakamura Masahiro asked: "Akimoto-san, is there anything good? I feel like you are in a good mood."

"Guess..."

Akimoto Yasushi's playful tone made Nakamura Masahiro a little helpless. He couldn't read minds. How could he guess it without clues and hints?

"I can't guess..."

Masahiro Nakamura's answer made Yasushi Akimoto lose his interest in going around in circles. He pretended to cough, and then directly revealed the answer to the mystery.

"It's a Nogizaka46 single. It has sold more than 1 million copies. According to the record agency's predictions, it has a chance to reach 1.5 million copies."

"Is the sales volume so exaggerated?"

Masahiro Nakamura couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Nogizaka46 was established last year and debuted at the beginning of the year. It has only been a few months now, but he didn't expect that the sales of singles were so exaggerated.

In the current Japanese record market, which is declining day by day, many big-name singers in the entertainment industry may not be able to sell millions of copies, but the cute new group Nogizaka46 did it.

I vaguely remember that Nogizaka46’s official rival akb48 has been dormant for several years. It was not until last year that it began to gain popularity and finally had a million-selling single.

And Nogizaka46 has only been out for a few months, and its leaps and bounds have surpassed akb48's years of hard work? This is really unpredictable in life.

The concept of an official rival was originally just a hype to achieve publicity effect, but now it has a real feeling. Nogizaka46 is worthy of its name.

"Yeah, I got on your train, and my single sales exploded..."

Akimoto Yasu replied with a smile: "The single sold 210,000 copies at the beginning, and then it has maintained a continuous growth trend. Yesterday it officially exceeded 1 million copies."

The sales of Nogizaka46's new single were so successful that Akimoto Yasushi was a little surprised, and he was mentally prepared to wait for two more years.

After all, although there are some differences between Nogizaka46 and akb48, they are essentially cultivating idols. Without cultivating a large number of loyal fans, it will be difficult to achieve results.

Even if Sony's massive resources support can shorten Nogizaka46's growth time, it will still have to endure.

As a result, several members participated in the movie "Model Student", and the promotion of the new single made the movie more popular, and sales immediately exploded.

The fans that were originally attracted have not yet stabilized, but now they have attracted a large number of passerby fans. If they can be retained, Nogizaka46 will take off directly.

"Congratulations, Qiu Yuansang, you succeeded again..."

With the corner of his mouth raised inadvertently, Nakamura Masahiro happily expressed congratulations to Akimoto Yasu, feeling happy for Nogizaka46 and his success.

Of course, Masahiro Nakamura is also very happy that he has an endless gold mine. No one will dislike having more money.
