Tokyo bubble life

Nobuo Tomioka's shocking inquiry made Nakamori Akina panic all of a sudden. This person who has been with her since his debut is not only a senior who has given Akina great help in publicity work, but also has a very good relationship in life. good friend.

It was a surprise attack for Akina to suddenly say something like emigration from his mouth.

"Nobufu-san, are you talking about relocating?" Akina couldn't help but confirm again.

"Hi!" Nobuo Tomioka replied with confirmation, "I plan to resign, and together with some Warner Pioneer employees, I plan to establish a new company 'Hummingbird', and Tokyu will be the agent for the new record company."

Tomioka Nobuo persuaded: "If Akina-chan agrees, the director and producer who have been cooperating will have no problem, they will come together, and the team members will not change."

Ming Cai, who is still underage, has never faced this kind of thing. Even in the entertainment industry, she has experienced many turmoil, but this kind of decision is still a bit too early.

"Hey, Nobuo-san suddenly said that."

"Akina-chan, don't worry, you can think about it, at least nothing will change until the next single is finished." Tomioka Nobuo did not press further, "The potential of Akina-chan is also very important to Tokyu Agency, even if When it comes to 'Hummingbird', the support for Akina will not weaken."

The fires of "Girl A" and "Second Love" have allowed Akina Nakamori to see the scenery of top idols. The industry has reached a consensus on the charm of Akina Nakamori. No matter which record company it is, it will not let such a slow Rising star.

After leaving Warner Pioneer's office building, Akina Nakamori frowned in the car, saw Koshi Okawa who was driving, and couldn't help asking:

"Kang Zhisang, do you know that some of Warner Pioneer's employees are going to the new company?"

"Ah, Ming Cai-chan must have heard those rumors."

Okawa Koji is the manager dispatched by Kenyin, so he is actually separated from the record company's internal movements, but even he has heard of it, which shows that under the calm waters, there are actually turbulent undercurrents.

"There are some rumors, but for Akina now, you should actually focus on the next song itself. No matter where it is, Akina-chan's idol journey will be supported."

In fact, Okawa Koji’s opinion of Nakamori Akina is still a child who has not grown up. Besides, such matters are generally decided by the production company and office. The idol’s own opinion cannot be said to be unimportant, but it does not matter. to a decisive role.

Mingcai's little face swelled up. These older employees all regarded themselves as children, and they did the same at work and during performances!

Ginza, Samadhi Residence.

Naoki Yongshan drove here quickly, and was already waiting for the arrival of the two directors in the private room on the third floor.

Masaki Kobayashi and Masahiro Shinoda arrived together in a taxi more than ten minutes later.

After getting off the car, Kobayashi Masaki even took off his sunglasses a little while looking at the distinctive architectural appearance of Sanmaiju.

"It's such a strange place. I've seen it when I passed by several times. I didn't expect someone to open such a teahouse in Ginza. Masahiro-san, have you been here?"

Masahiro Shinoda shook his head, "It's my first time here too."

Masaki Kobayashi laughed: "Naoki Yongshan was photographed here last time, let's go in and have a look."

As the store manager, Katsuo Yasui recognized the two spirited old men at a glance, and greeted them as soon as they entered the door: "Is this Mr. Masaki Kobayashi and Mr. Masahiro Shinoda?"

"Huh? You know us?" Masaki Kobayashi asked.

"Hey, Naoki-san has already said hello, he has reserved a private room, please come with me." Yasui Katsuo respectfully led the two to the third floor.

Along the way, Kobayashi Masaki looked at the design of Sanmai Ju with curiosity: "Masahiro-san, this place is quite interesting. I feel that it can be used as a scene for filming in the future."

Masahiro Shinoda also nodded. There are many temples with carved beams and painted buildings, but this modern tea house with both Chinese and Japanese styles gives people a strange impact.

"It can be remembered at a glance."

After arriving at the private room, Katsuo Yasui opened the door, revealing Naoki Nagayama sitting at the coffee table enjoying the scenery outside the window,

"Naoki-san, the two guests have arrived."

"Ah, thank you Katsuo-san." Naoki Naoyama stood up and greeted the two great directors, "Director Masaki Kobayashi and Masahiro Shinoda, thank you for coming. I am Naoki Naoyama from Shuyou Films."

Kobayashi Masaki waved his hand easily, and called Shinoda Masahiro to sit down, as if he was in his own home: "There is no need to be so polite, Naoki-san, Shinoda Masahiro next to me, didn't you meet him last time?" .”

Naoki Yongshan muttered silently: "When we met last time, this guy seemed quite unhappy. I don't know when he offended him."

But since there is already an acquaintance among the three of them, the atmosphere is naturally easy to open up,

"Then Masaki-san and Masahiro-san, come and taste the tea. I have prepared the best Gyokuro tea——Yame Gyokuro." Just as the deputy store manager Sakakibara Qianxia brought tea and refreshments, Naoki Naoyama took advantage of the situation The two directors were invited to drink tea.

As a tea artist with superb tea art skills, Chinatsu Sakakibara's skills in brewing top tea leaves are of course not a problem, and the performance is also very exciting. For a while, the two directors were obviously immersed in the tea ceremony,

Shinoda Masahiro carefully sipped the tea in the teacup, admiring from time to time: "This kind of fragrance, this kind of sweetness, is indeed Yulu~"

Kobayashi Masaki was also enjoying it, and obviously agreed with it.

Naoki Yongshan has been drinking Gyokuro recently, but he has become a little insensitive, and feels that Gyokuro is actually like that. But of course he echoed it at this time.

When the atmosphere got better, Naoki Yongshan finally got to the point: "Masaki-san and Zhenghao-san, why do you recommend "That Summer, The Tranquil Sea" so wholeheartedly?"

Kobayashi Masaki smiled slightly: "Why, don't you think your movie is not worth recommending?"

Speaking of this point, Naoki Yongshan naturally wouldn't demolish himself: "Of course it's not just that Masaki-san and Zhenghao-san's help made me a little confused."

Shinoda Masahiro put down the teacup and looked at Naoki Yongshan: "Speaking of which, Masaki-san actually persuaded me. Although I saw this movie and thought it was very good, there is no reason for me to fully support it."

He glanced at his old friend who was drinking tea leisurely, and continued: "But Zheng Shusang and I talked about the fact that Shuyou Films is being collectively suppressed by established production companies. I think this is wrong!"

"Those movie studios are out of date!"

Shinoda Masahiro became excited: "Obviously occupying the best resources, but producing more and more similar movies! Also suppressing emerging directors and low-budget films, this is destroying the future of the film industry!"

Masahiro Shinoda, who led the new wave of Japanese movies, knows the current situation of the movie industry very well.

The studio system is disintegrating, old film production companies are declining, Nikkatsu is beginning to focus on pornographic feature films, Toei's "Nil Kou Zai" series of films are becoming more and more violent, and Shochiku is barely recovering by relying on comedies

Enterprises from all walks of life are entering the film industry, which has also had a huge impact on the way movies are distributed and shown.

This is an era where the old and the new are handed over, and it is also an era full of destruction and new life.

Shinoda Masahiro has also experienced suppression, so now he feels the same way.

Kobayashi Masaki finally put down the teacup at this time: "Naoki-san, in fact, don't worry, there is no big purpose in recommending your movie, it's just that you can't watch such a novel movie and it's just buried. In fact, it's because "That Summer, The Sea of ​​Tranquility" was really good."

It is difficult for Naoki Naoyama to have a real sense of the general trend of the film industry, because he is neither a professional director nor has no research on film history, but after learning that the two directors have no other thoughts, he is also relieved.

"No matter what, I still want to thank the two directors for their great support."

Naoki Naoyama toasted the two old directors with tea instead of wine.

The chat that followed was even easier. I don’t know much about the past, but I can’t find anyone in Japan who knows more about the development of movies in the next 30 years than Naoki Nagayama.

He chatted with the director about his vision for future movies, digital movies, 3D movies, and manga movies, etc. From the evolution of shooting tools to the development of the movie industry, he perfectly played the skills of blowing water on the Internet in his previous life,

The two old directors were in high spirits when they heard it, and they felt more and more that the young man in front of him was the future star of the Japanese film industry.

He didn't even leave Sanmaiju for lunch, so he asked Katsuo Yasui to order it from a nearby high-end restaurant.

It wasn't until the evening that I parted from the two directors who were already a little bit exhausted.

Before returning to Yamazakura-in, Naoki Naoyama drove to the studio to chat with Otomo Yoshimura about participating in the film selection in the future.

When I walked into the studio, I happened to see Yuki Saito coming out of the conference room, and Otomo Yoshimura, Riko Hayano, and Masato Inada were all in the office.

"Naoki-san!" The little girl was very happy when she saw Naoki Yongshan, and walked to the side quickly, "I haven't seen it for a long time~"

"Ah, yes~" Naoki Naoyama looked at Yuki Saito who smiled cutely, and was also very happy, "What is Yuki-chan here for today?"

"It's about some arrangements for the debut." Otomo Fangcun came out to answer the conversation, "You Guijiang's record has been produced, and the rest is to arrange the progress of the debut."

"Huh? Before the end of the year?"

Riko Hayano also came over: "The current arrangement is to make some announcements first, and then officially debut at the beginning of the year."

Unlike other idols, Saito Yuki did not debut from a talent show, and has no natural fans in the record industry, which is equivalent to starting from scratch; but unlike other newcomers, she has a very hot movie, and has A little fame, and some movie fans.

"That's it~" Naoki Yongshan nodded, "The time is about the same."

Riko Hayano had some doubts: "It's about the same time."

Naoki Yongshan pulled a few people back into the conference room: "Otomo-san, I came back today to talk to you, and Yuki-chan is also here, so let's talk together."

""That Summer, The Sea of ​​Tranquility" is almost certain to win the best movie at the Daily Movie Awards." As two big names in the Japanese film industry, they still have predictions about this news, because even the judges Most of them are their friends.

"Boom?!" Riko Hayano and Yuki Saito were both surprised, "Didn't you just nominate it?"

Yoshimura Otomo did not let the two young children continue to ask questions that should not be asked: "Have Naoki-san talked with the two directors?"

"Well, after talking about various reasons, what is certain so far is that many directors and filmmakers who are not major production companies will support us." Naoki Yongshan's tone was firm, and he gave affirmative answers to several people present, " Not only the best film, but also the best director, best screenwriter, best soundtrack, Yuki sauce is also likely to win the best newcomer award."

"." Yuki Saito was knocked unconscious by the pie falling from the sky.

"It's not just the Daily Movie Awards, the Academy Film Awards and the Blue Ribbon Film Awards will be nominated for "That Summer, The Sea of ​​Tranquility", and the chances of winning are very high!"

Fangcun Dayu was also shocked by the news, drank a glass of water to calm down,

"Naoki-san, are you sure?"

"There is a high probability that it will come true."

Naoki Naoyama thought about what Masahiro Shinoda said in the film industry is a large group suppressed by big production companies, and his film seems to have become a symbol of their resistance to established forces.

Otomo Fangcun suppressed his fluctuating mood, looked at Yuki Saito, Riko Hayano, and Masami Inada: "Then Yuki-chan's debut time needs to be adjusted."

The results of these awards will basically be released in January and February. At that time, the film will be the most brilliant time. If you take advantage of the trend and make your debut, Saito Yuki may jump into the ranks of top idols in one fell swoop.

As for whether it can be maintained in the future, the big deal is to grind Naoki-sang's song~

After returning to her senses, Riko Hayano immediately agreed: "Hey, I understand, let's adjust the schedule!"

Yuki Saito was the first idol she was responsible for promoting. At this time, Riko Hayano seemed to see the brand of the gold medal producer and was already waving to her!

Otomo Fangcun still made a point: "Yuki-chan in the movie is silent, but Yuki Saito as an idol has sound. We can work hard on this to combine the heat of the movie with the music."

"Hi, I see!"

Riko Hayano dragged the future idol who was still shivering, and quickly walked out of the meeting room, and Masato Inada, who was silent next to her, bowed and followed.

Naoki Yongshan looked at the backs of several people: "Otomo-san, Yamin-kun seems to be talking less and less."

"As the man in black behind the scenes, of course the less talk the better!" Fangcun Otomo said casually, "Mr. Yamin is getting closer and closer to a mature manager."

"... But Otomo-san talks a lot, doesn't he?"

Fangcun Dayou gave a blank look: "Naoki-san, sometimes you talk too much!"

Naoki Yongshan drove back to Yamazakura-in after arguing with Otomo Yoshimura in the studio for a while, and then blackmailing Uncle Mediterranean for a meal in the restaurant outside.

Ying Taro, who shook his head and waited for his master to come home, was once again warmly cared for by his master, and was slapped hard on the dog's head.

Then it quickly changed from a good heart to a biological foot warmer.

Naoki Nagayama, who was watching TV at night, was attracted by the phone ringing beside the sofa, and reached out to pick it up:

"Moses, this is Yamazakura-in."

"Naoki-san" came from the other side of the microphone, a somewhat depressed voice seemed to be in a very low mood.

"Mingcai sauce? What's wrong?"
