Tokyo bubble life

Naoki Nagayama returned to Tokyo and continued filming TV series, but the influence he left in Hong Kong has not disappeared.

Instead, like ripples on the water, it spreads into the Hong Kong entertainment circle.

At Anita Mui's house, she was playing mahjong with her three friends, Fu Lu Shou, and she lost again!

As we all know, Anita Mui likes to play mahjong, but she loves to cheat and refuses to give her money when she loses.

Alan Tam from Hu Pai is like this:

"Amei, you lost again. Don't continue to cheat!"

"Wait a minute, I'll definitely win back the next one!"

Anita Mui carelessly asked for an extension, but Alan Tam, Eric Tsang, and Danny Chan all laughed at her because she couldn't afford to lose. So Anita Mui rolled her eyes and started to blame:

"I was thinking about something in my head just now, so I didn't pay attention."

"Oh?" Knowing that she was changing the subject, Alan Tam, who won the money, was not angry, "What is so interesting~"

"I'm going to Neon in a while, right?"

Since there are many songs borrowed from the neon entertainment industry, Anita Mui would go to neon from time to time to get to know people from all walks of life in the entertainment industry.

"But I heard a big news recently"

"???"

Seeing that Anita Mui didn't look like she was just making it up, several people looked over. Gossip is human nature.

"You know Neon's largest male idol agency now, Johnny. It is said that the founder Kitagawa is very aggressive towards his underage artists."

Having been in the entertainment industry for many years, Alan Tam and others are not ignorant of the dirty things in the entertainment industry. Once a person has money, it is difficult to hide his true nature.

However, Johnny Kitagawa’s exaggeration is still shocking.

"Johnnys?" Chen Baixiang looked at Anita Mui in surprise, "Didn't anyone stop such behavior?"

Eric Tsang shook his head: "Because neon is too perverted!"

Anita Mui punched him and then guessed: "It's because Johnny is too powerful."

"So, all Johnny's idols?"

"Of course I don't know the details, but it is said to be a large part."

Alan Tam smoked a cigarette and asked in a probing tone,

"Are there no exceptions? Where did you get the news, Mei?"

"Insider!"

Although the gossip was shared, the source of the gossip must be kept secret. Naturally, Anita Mui did not reveal the identity of Naoki Nagayama.

"Don't ask who it is specifically, but I heard that this is already an honest secret in the neon entertainment industry."

So, a good mahjong turned into a tea party where a few bad friends shared gossip, and because they all had a lot of friends, almost the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry knew the news.

Then there were the Hong Kong media tabloids that were closely related to the entertainment industry, and since there was no suppression from Johnny's forces, the limelight of public opinion began to spread to ordinary people.

The consensus that "Johnny's idols all slept out" began to form in Hong Kong.

At the same time, in the neon entertainment world, Johnny's business began to encounter obstacles

"Marissa"

Agent Matsuzawa Masaki knocked on the door of Kitagawa Marie's office.

"Something went wrong."

"What?"

After all, Kitagawa Marie was someone who had been running the office for many years. She was not angry after hearing the news, but asked.

"We were negotiating for a performance in Hong Kong, but for some reason, they chose to reject it."

"Why did you refuse? Do you understand the reason?"

"The people there are hesitant, but it seems that the Hong Kong audience doesn't have a high opinion of neon male idols."

"How could it be?! Aren't Hideki Saijo and Kenji Sawada very popular before?!"

"Private Marseille, it may be that the new generation of idols are not so influential. And there are bad rumors circulating in the past."

Matsuzawa Masaki doesn't speak Chinese, but he has also heard that Hong Kong people have a bad impression of Johnny's idol.

Kitagawa Mari is average-looking, and as she grows older, she becomes thinner and thinner, and her face becomes more and more mean. When she suddenly hears bad news, her face instantly turns vicious.

"You mean mom gave up? What did he do again?!"

Masaki Matsuzawa is already the chief manager of Johnny's, coordinating the business development of its second-tier idol groups, such as Hiromi Go in the early days, and now Masahiko Kondo, etc.

The focus is to promote them to Asian markets other than neon, such as Taiwan and Hong Kong. Kondo Masahiko is currently preparing to perform in Hong Kong.

"Forehead"

And because Mary liked Kondo Masahiko very much, Matsuzawa Masaki didn't say anything, but his silence said everything.

Kitagawa Mari naturally knew Kondo's behavior as an adult. Although his reputation has declined, he is still the popular idol he once was. A guy who has been praised by others in his adolescence will naturally not know how to restrain himself.

As an adult, he has been photographed many times drinking, racing, and getting into various troubles with his friends. If Johnny hadn't dealt with the aftermath, his reputation would have been bad. Now his popularity is getting weaker and weaker.

And because he stole Nagayama Naoki's early advertising, he had conflicts with him, which led to him becoming a mortal enemy of the now powerful Shuyou Group.

Kitagawa Mari knocked on the table, scenes with Kondo flashed through her mind, and she thought about the new male idols and the increasing competitive pressure in the entertainment industry.

Finally decided:

"Kondo's new album should not be continued. It should be handed over to the people in the male Douhu group, and then his previous best-selling songs should be made into an album for sale."

"Then let him try to transform and take a sexy route. If there is still no improvement, let him join a variety show."

Kitagawa Mari has decided to give up this artist, but as a manager of the agency, even if she wants to give up an artist, she must squeeze out all his remaining value.

"Don't use the favor on him. Once the contract is over, don't continue to sign the contract!"

"Uh this."

Kitagawa Mari's decision was tantamount to giving up on Kondo. Matsuzawa Masaru didn't expect that he just reported a piece of news and actually cut off Kondo's future.

"Go ahead and do it." Mary waved her hand. "As for expanding the market overseas, if Hong Kong doesn't work, let's try Taiwan."

"Hey, I got it!"

TVB’s wireless artist training course.

After class teacher Liu Fang had just finished a class, she was chatting with people in the office when she heard someone come in and say:

"Teacher Liu, that person in your training class has been spotted by the great Neon director!"

"???" When Naoki Nagayama came for the interview, Liu Fanggang was with him throughout the interview, but there was no news for a long time after that. He wondered, "Who was chosen?"

"That's the longer-faced Tony Leung Ka-fai! The one who starred in "Behind the Curtain"!"

The colleague who came in was from the Ministry of Commerce. He smiled and said,

"Our department received an official invitation letter from Shuyou Group, inviting him to Neon for a final interview!"

In fact, Naoki Nagayama contacted TVB's Youta first, and then the company went through the formal procedures. Otherwise, Tony Leung would already be the Best Actor at the Academy Awards, and his schedule would still be very busy~

"Are you sure it's him?"

"I didn't say that, but out of so many actors, he was the only one who was asked to audition. He must be very popular!"

"Only one?"

"We only received one via wireless!"

As soon as Liu Fang got the news, she immediately called Tony Leung and told him the good news.

Being selected by a major international director, the young Tony Leung was naturally surprised and happy, and he quickly said that he would definitely seize the opportunity to perform well.

"But the film production in Neon may be a little different from that in Hong Kong. Directors and screenwriters are very important there, so you have to adapt well."

Liu Fanggang reminded his students,

“Although I’m not sure if you’ve finally cast the role, it means that someone on the crew is very optimistic about you, so remember, even if you don’t cast the leading role in the end, you can still try to get another role in the movie! "

"A big movie like that might go to Oscars and Cannes. It would be a pity to miss it!"

"I know, Teacher Liu!" Liang Jiahui looked very excited and nodded repeatedly, "I will do my best!"

"This is best."

At the same time, Leslie Cheung, who was preparing a new song, also received news from his manager.

"Did I receive an invitation?"

Leslie Cheung said unexpectedly: "I must have made a mistake. I took Andy to the audition! I also asked Mr. Naoki Nagayama to do it."

"A Neon man called specifically to say so."

Leslie Cheung’s agent Chen Shufen said,

"It's a director named Kyū Kijima. He speaks broken English, but I understand clearly. I saw your acting skills on set and thought your image and acting skills are very suitable for the male protagonist, so I invited you to go to Neon for a re-examination."

"Retest?"

Hearing the same words as looking for a job, Leslie Cheung wanted to laugh. At the same time, the director who had been following Naoki Nagayama during the audition that day suddenly spoke up in his mind.

"That guy picked me??"

"But I introduced Hua Zai to audition. What's the point of going to the audition by yourself!"

Leslie Cheung was still a little confused. After all, he was introducing Andy to Naoki Nagayama that day.

"It's not like Naoki Nagayama chose you, it was another director!"

Chen Shufen helped take care of Leslie Cheung's hair, looked at Leslie Cheung in the half-length mirror, and then patted his shoulder,

"Leslie~~This is indeed a good opportunity!"

"If you want to achieve success in the film industry, you must go to the neon film industry. Hong Kong is too small after all!"

"Furthermore, Nagayama Naoki's tree friend films are famous not only in Neon, but also internationally."

As an agent, Chen Shufen is naturally very familiar with the international entertainment industry. This year's Tokyo International Film Festival of Shuyou Group is a large-scale international event that Hong Kong film studios want to participate in.

She also saw that this was a good opportunity for Leslie Cheung to enter the neon film industry and even the international film industry, and advised him not to give up.

"I'll explain to Andy. After all, it's really not about grabbing the role. Naoki Nagayama didn't choose him, and he didn't choose you either."

"."

Leslie Cheung thought silently for a while, and said somewhat freely,

"I'm not too worried about Hua Zai. I just go to Neon this time and may not be selected!"

"I heard that Kijima Kyū seemed very confident."

"Eh? Wasn't it Naoki Nagayama's decision?"

"Who knows~"

"Tokyo Love Story" has many night scenes, so Naoki Nagayama, who has just returned to Tokyo, often rests in the morning and then goes to the filming base in the afternoon.

Occasionally I would go to the Tree Friends Building in the morning to deal with some matters, such as the final ownership of a certain film project.

In Shuyu's best office, Nagayama Naoki called both Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyor over, and Itou Shuichi was also watching in the office.

"Well, there's nothing inconvenient to say."

Nagayama Naoki said straight to the point,

"Masataka-kun, I have decided that you will be the producer of the movie from now on, and the director of "Tiger of Ginza" will be handed over to Kijima Kyon!"

"."

Itou Shuichi patted his forehead speechlessly to say such a big news so simply?

Why not be more tactful and say some guiding words such as "after careful consideration by the management", "Masataka-kun, your expertise is different from Kijima-kun", "this arrangement is to be responsible for your future"?

You throw the final result in front of two people like this, which will make people unable to accept it!

Fortunately, as an experienced driver, I am here!

"Ahem. Masako-kun, I asked you to become the producer because your abilities are more comprehensive and suitable for coordinating a film project."

Itou Shuichi said the reason why Nagayama Naoki discussed with him before, and then looked at Kijima Xu again,

"As for Kijima-kun, your perception is sharper and your lens sense is stronger. You can detect the details in film shooting and know how to use the lens to express the picture better."

"That's why we finally decided on the division of labor between the two of you."

At the beginning, Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyor were indeed shocked, but they quickly calmed down.

The two of them have known for a long time that this movie must be a collaboration between two people, one is the producer and the other is the director, but the focus is different.

"Hey, we got it!" X2

Nagayama Naoki nodded. Seeing that both of them had accepted it, he directly assigned the task:

"Now that the script is finished, the film production will begin.

Masataka-kun, Shuichi-san, Otomo-san, the three of us

There are other things to deal with at the moment, so you have to come up with the specific plans and budget for the film shooting, and you have to keep an eye on the progress."

"Hey, I got it!"

The producer is the producer's representative, coordinating and managing the entire film project.

"Then Kijima-kun, finalize all the characters as soon as possible and communicate with the writing team to start filming in May."

"Hi, I will"

Kijima Xu nodded, but suddenly remembered that there were two alternatives for the male protagonist.

"So Naoki-san, the male protagonist of the movie."

"You decide!"

Although Nagayama Naoki is more optimistic about Tony Leung Ka Fai, it is based on the filter of future memory. There is still a question mark over the acting skills of the Thousand Faces of this era.

Moreover, the director of the movie has been decided to be Kijima Kyun, so how to choose actors and how to coordinate the presentation of the movie content must be based on him.

"Hi!"

Kijima Kyon nodded in agreement, but silently decided in his heart that the actor Naoki-san liked should be given an important role no matter what, and let him participate in the movie.

Only in this way can Naoki-san not look bad!

Keep the boss in your heart at all times, this is the boss's confidant! !

After the two left, Naoki Nagayama started chatting with Shuichi Itou.

"Naoki-san, the shooting of "Tokyo Love Story" should be completed by early May," Shuichi Itou asked, "Actually, you can focus on "Tiger of Ginza" by then! It's okay to shoot a little later. ~”

"Forget it, if I participate in "Tiger of Ginza", then I will definitely be the core."

Nagayama Naoki shrugged. With his current status and prestige, if he participates in film production, he will definitely be sure of what he says. This leaves Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyon how to freely express themselves.

"Besides, Akina is expected to give birth to a baby in August. When my daughter is born, I don't want to stay in the editing room every day and be busy editing!"

"I want to stay with my daughter!"

"Daughter slave~"

Itou Xiuichi curled his lips and expressed his approval for someone considering his daughter's companionship after she was born so far in advance.

"Aren't you the same?!"

"."

After saying this, Yi Tangxiu sighed,

"Alas, Jiayi-chan actually started having boyfriends after she entered junior high school."

"Ah? So early?" Nagayama Naoki suddenly became energetic, "Is it Huang Mao?!"

"."

Itou Xiu looked over as if he wanted to hit someone, and Naoki Nagayama quickly put back his curiosity.

"Hahaha~" a guy yelled, "Jiayi-chan is only thirteen years old, she doesn't even know what her boyfriend is, she must have just talked about it casually! It's like kids in kindergarten playing house!" "

"well"

Itou Shuichi also knew that it was just a joke, and at most it was just a male classmate hanging out with him.

However, after entering junior high school, my daughter seemed to have entered the legendary adolescence, and she began to lose contact with her father. Instead, she always whispered to her mother, Yitang Jiawei.

He even knew that she had a little boyfriend, but he only found out from his wife.

"But in two years, I will be in high school. That's when."

At that time, it was the craze of campus love!

After hearing this, Naoki Nagayama could only comfort him:

"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, my daughter will grow up!"

Words of comfort are actually useless. Idou Shuichi directly asked Naoki Naoki:

"In a dozen years, if Naoki-san's daughter grows up and wants to have a boyfriend, what will you do?"

"Hahaha, that's a matter of a dozen years later~ I'll talk about it then!"

"What if she has a boyfriend?! How will Naoki-san deal with it?"

"Then I will consider having that guy circumcised!"

Nagayama Naoki said calmly, words that made the man's lower body feel cold!
