Tokyo bubble life

After walking out of Kadokawa's headquarters, Yoshimura Otomo couldn't help saying:

"Naoki-san, how did you act so calm in front of Haruki-san? I was so nervous when my face changed just now."

In fact, this is just being strong without desire. Naoki Naoyama has the greatest confidence, knowing that even without the help of Kadokawa, there will be no big problems, so he can treat him equally.

However, Naoki Yongshan thought for a while whether to answer by inserting the label to sell the head or picking something out of the bag, and finally combined with his own memory of the future era, he said:

"Probably, I think he looks like a dead bone in a tomb!"

"?!" Fangcun Dayou was shocked by Yongshan Naoki's words, "Naoki-san is really extraordinary."

Naoki Yongshan smiled, walked to the parking lot, and asked while looking for the car, "What do you do next?"

"Tomorrow is the first day of work, and there will be a New Year's party. Would you like to say something to Naoki-san?"

It is also the first time for Fangcun Dayu to host. Last year, there were not many people, just to give encouragement, but this year there are almost a hundred people, so it must be more grand.

"Forget it, let me tell a joke~"

Naoki Yongshan didn’t want to take on this kind of work. It was a difficult and thankless job. When he was in the audience, he heard the leader who came up to the stage want to say a few words, and then he kept talking for an hour. I cursed in my heart!

Now that he has become the boss, knowing that he is hated by others, why should he continue to do it?

What is this, a brave man turned into a dragon? !

Fangcun Otomo didn't persuade much, and after starting the car, he said to Naoki Nagayama: "Then let's go to Fuji TV. Besides visiting, we also want to communicate with Taitai-san about the operation of the Kitten Club."

"What's the matter, is there any problem?" Naoki Yongshan has not paid attention to the operation of the Kitten Club for a long time.

"It's not a big problem." Fangcun Otomo said while driving, "When the Kitten Club is promoting or announcing, sometimes it will bring Fukuhara Ayano and Nonaka Saaka, and still use the name of the wild cat group old man, but not Bring the three Maoyan sisters with you."

"oh?"

Otomo Fangcun continued: "Actually, in the recent "Twilight Meow", the appearance frequency of the three Maoyan sisters has also dropped a lot."

Naoki Naoyama understood. It seems that either Kikuchi Etsuro was more convenient to use with the other two members of the wild cat group, or Akimoto Yasushi reduced the playing time of the three Maoyan sisters when planning.

Anyway, it's not a big deal~ It's a little disgusting~

"Akimoto Yasushi shouldn't be such a small-minded person?" Yongshan Naoki was a little strange, "Besides, I have a good relationship with him, right?"

Naoki Yongshan didn't know at all, Yasushi Akimoto already regarded him in his heart as someone who must surpass in this life!

After driving for more than half an hour on the clear road, the two arrived at the headquarters building of Fuji TV in Shinjuku.

Even during holidays, as a 24-hour TV station, more than half of the people are still at work.

Naoki Nagayama and Otomo Yoshimura walked in with gifts, and led by the lady at the front desk, they came to the floor of Fuji TV Production Bureau, Kazuki Takano's office.

"Minister Takano, Happy New Year!" Yoshimura Otomo stepped forward to say hello, followed by Naoki Naoyama.

"Minister Fangcun, Naoki-san, happy new year~" Because Fangcun Otomo is visiting from the company, it is natural to call him his position, but for Yongshan Naoki, it is not so polite.

Minister Takano greeted him with a smile: "Did you go back to celebrate the New Year this year?"

Fangcun Dayu said: "Didn't there be an accident at the end of this year~ So I have been busy, so I didn't go back."

"I spent New Year's Eve at NHK." Naoki Naoyama continued, "But I went back for New Year's Day."

"Hahaha, the "Love Letter" at the end of the year really gave everyone a surprise." Minister Gao Ye invited the two to sit down, and an assistant made tea for everyone, "But the previous "Midnight Ring" can be regarded as a shock ~"

"Hahaha, surprise and surprise, the end of the year will be exciting~" Fangcun Dayou joked with a smile.

"Yeah, yeah~" Director Takano nodded, "Thanks to Naoki-san, the ratings of our Fuji TV programs at the end of the year surpassed those of other TV stations by a large margin!"

"Especially "All Night Fuji" and "It's Okay to Smile" that Naoki-san participated in." Kazuki Takano must have been praised by a higher level at the end of the year, otherwise he would not be so happy, "Naoki-san's sentence 'I love you' Wannian' has also been mentioned repeatedly, if there is an annual buzzword selection, then this sentence must be selected!"

Naoki Yongshan had a flash of inspiration: "Huh? Isn't there?"

"Of course not," Takano Kazuki was sure.

Seeing Naoki Yongshan's thinking expression, Kazuki Kono was very puzzled, "Naoki-san, what's wrong?"

"Ha suddenly thought of an idea." Naoki Naoyama looked at Kazuki Takano, "Maybe it can be used as one of the programs in cooperation with Fuji TV."

"???" Takano Kazuki was confused by Naoki Naoki's jumping thinking, obviously he was just joking just now.

Naoki Yongshan said a little excitedly: "Didn't Minister Takano say that there is no selection of annual buzzwords? I imagined such a program."

"On Fuji TV's other programs, we collect new buzzwords from the public this year, then interview the source of the buzzwords, record them into a program and broadcast them, and let the audience vote for the buzzwords that best represent this year, or the ones that have the most The trending buzzwords should be called "New Buzzword Awards!"

Listening to Naoki Naoki's narration, Kazuki Takano felt that this operation seemed to be feasible, and as the founding party, it would naturally be more authoritative than other buzzword selections.

If after a few sessions, it can be recognized by the public, it is likely to evolve into a selection with the nature of participation by the whole people.

But after thinking about it, Minister Takano was still a little worried: "But Naoki-san, last year has passed~"

"Haha, Minister Takano, this is just a temporary idea, using the year-end selection as the starting point." Naoki Yongshan laughed, "Would it be possible that I will produce a program that only happens once a year as a cooperative project?"

"What does Naoki-san mean?"

"People's memories are short-lived, and the speed of information change in the entertainment industry is so fast, it is impossible for most of them to accurately recall the buzzwords, popular events, and hot spots at the beginning of the year at the end of the year." Naoki Yongshan sorted himself out "I think it is feasible to hold the selection once a month."

"Wait until the end of the year, and take out the selection results of twelve months for the final selection. Form the buzzword of the year."

In fact, Japan has the "New Language Buzzword Awards", which seems to have started very early, and it will have a certain impact until 2023. This must be a long-lived program.

What's more, there are similar annual Chinese character selections, etc., which will cause a wave of enthusiasm when they are selected.

When Kazuki Kono heard what Naoki Yongshan said, his heart became more and more moved. He understands that such a program, if done well, will even attract the attention of the government:

"Naoki-san, this is indeed a good idea!"

"Since Minister Takano thinks it's good, let's go back and improve it before submitting the program plan." Naoki Yongshan suggested to Kazuki Takano.

"Hey, please trouble Naoki-san!"

Kazuki Kono felt that Shuyou Yinghua was a gift from heaven. After only two years of contact, he brought many TV dramas with high ratings and popular variety shows to the TV station.

So the ensuing conversation was full of harmony, with smiles on both sides' faces.

When Naoki Nagayama and Otomo Yoshimura walked towards the preparation team of "Meow at Evening", Otomo Yoshimura couldn't help asking:

"Naoki-san, did you really come up with this show on the spur of the moment?"

"." Yongshan Naoki shrugged, "Otomo-san, didn't you come up with it by looking at me?"

"But... that's too exaggerated?" Fangcun Otomo still couldn't believe it, "Naoki-san, is your brain different from mine?"

"."

Naoki Yongshan couldn't answer, but considering the memories that pop up from time to time, maybe his brain is really weird!

It is said that Einstein's brain glial cells are 73% more than other people's, so his own may be several times that of other people's!

"However, Naoki-san just said all the ideas, are you not worried that your ideas will be taken up by Minister Takano?" When going downstairs, Yoshimura Otomo asked again worriedly.

"Haha, of course I'm not worried, because that idea still has flaws." Naoki Naoyama said, "In fact, if we want similar selections to be authoritative, it is not enough to rely on TV stations alone! If Fuji TV wants to rely on this to start The program, using the routine of entertainment talent show, may end up empty-handed! Not to mention the loss of authority, it will be learned by other TV stations."

"?? There are still defects?"

"Yeah, if you want this kind of selection to be successful, the most important thing is to find an organization that everyone agrees with and has an official or religious background to endorse, not a certain organization in the entertainment industry."

Naoki Yongshan said: "For example, the Chinese Character Proficiency Testing Association, the Free National Society, etc."

"This..." Fangcun Dayou was a little surprised.

"Do you think this kind of organization is not as famous as Fuji TV?"

"Hi~"

"Haha, it's actually so strange. If it's hosted by a TV station, then it's an entertainment event." Naoki Naoyama said, "If it's hosted by them, it's a national act~"

"So...how do we engage this type of institution?"

Naoki Yongshan squinted at Otomo Fangcun: "Otomo-san, you are regressing~ How do you let a non-profit organization hold an event? Of course it is sponsorship!"

"." Fangcun Dayou patted his forehead, feeling really dizzy~

In the preparatory office of "Twilight Meow Meow", there is still a lot of voices, and almost all the planners and screenwriters are working overtime here.

After all, the frequency of recording every day makes the people here have to write a new script and record it every day.

Before knocking on the door, Naoki Yongshan stopped suddenly:

"Otomo-san, leave it to me to communicate with Sugiura Taitai later~"

Fangcun Otomo was a little surprised: "Naoki-san, are you sure? You don't even know the specific situation"

"Well, I probably know~"

Naoki Yongshan continued to knock on the door of the office.

"Naoki-san! Otomo-san" Sugiura Taitai saw the two people who came, with surprise on his face, "Why are you here~"

"Datai-san, happy new year~" Naoki Naoyama presented a gift, "We are here to visit."

"Hahaha, happy new year~" Sugiura Taitai hurriedly asked the two to sit down, "Naoki-san is really shocking this year!"

It has been said by many people that Naoki Naoyama has already felt a little numb, but he also knows that such praise will definitely not disappear in the first month.

"It's just a coincidence~ I didn't expect the first snow this year to fall at the end of the year."

"That's because "Love Letter" itself is of excellent quality~"

"."

Naoki Nagayama and Taitai Sugiura chatted casually for a while, and then they talked about "Meow at Dusk":

"Huh? Why didn't you see Xiru Misan?"

"She and Akimoto Yasushi went out to record~"

"Ah, "Twilight Meow Meow" at the beginning of the year, how is the show going?" Naoki Naoyama asked, "Did the ratings drop?"

"Under the impact of various programs at the end of the year, there will naturally be some fluctuations, but it's okay." Sugiura Taitai is still very calm, "For now, I feel that the program has entered a stable period."

"Steady period~" Naoki Naoyama seemed to have something to say, but stopped~

Sugiura Taitai naturally noticed: "Naoki-san thinks it shouldn't be?"

"I'm a little worried. The program "Twilight Meow" is originally intended to attract viewers with novelty. Once it enters a stable period, the attractiveness of the program will be greatly reduced." Naoki Naoyama said.

Sugiura Taitai frowned. As a program producer, he was also very concerned about this point: "However, our planners and screenwriters have tried their best, and each episode has new ideas."

"This is a superficial idea, and it has not changed the entire process of the program." Naoki Yongshan said, "Maybe other programs can last for a year and a half, but the program "Twilight Meow" is broadcast every day. Over time, all creativity will be consumed.”

"This..." Sugiura Taitai knew that Naoki Yongshan was the creator of the program, and he valued his judgment very much, "Naoki-san, is there any good way?"

"How come there is a good solution all of a sudden." Yongshan Naoki smiled, "But didn't you already have a plan when planning the program?"

"Naoki-san is referring to the replacement?"

"Yes, members of the Kitten Club, have you renewed for a round?" Naoki Yongshan asked.

"One round?" Sugiura Taitai exclaimed, "Naoki-san, the current Kitten Club is at its peak popularity, how can it be replaced? The audience will not agree!"

"Haha, living water doesn't rot." Naoki Yongshan laughed, "It's not a one-time replacement."

"Of course, you can also use terms like graduation, solo flight, etc., to move towards better~" Naoki Yongshan pointed out, "You can't always replace the least popular one, but also replace the most popular one. You can't let one of them cover up Let the rest of the Kitten Club shine."

"What the show should want is a kitten club combination that is always victorious."

Sugiura Taitai pondered, while Yoshimura Otomo next to him drank the hot tea brought up, still thinking about when Naoki Naoyama would bring up the matter of the Wildcats.

"So Naoki-san, decide whether the members will leave or not? Is it purely based on the popularity of fans?"

"In addition to fans, of course other dimensions of judgment are needed." Naoki Yongshan said, "The current debut of the members of the Kitten Club should be decided by Yasushi Akimoto and you, right?"

"Hi." As the person in charge of the program, he naturally has the greatest power.

"My suggestion is to adopt a referee system that excludes third parties, similar to the judging seats in court." Naoki Yongshan said that there will be many such referees in future variety shows.

"However, how does the referee judge whether it is possible to fly solo or needs to withdraw?" asked Sugiura Taitai.

"For this point, it's better to use senior idols. For example, at the beginning, I used the wild cat group. If there are channels later, I can also use PinkLady or others.

On the one hand, they do have more experience, so they have a foundation in the entertainment industry based on seniority; on the other hand, they can also borrow the popularity of these old groups to attract old fans. "

Sugiura Taitai began to think about the pros and cons.

However, Naoki Yongshan did not intend to continue waiting for him: "Datai-san, I just said it casually. You can decide whether it is really feasible. The main purpose of coming today is to visit. In the coming year, we may have more cooperation. .”

"Oh?" Sugiura Taitai suppressed his thoughts, and chatted with Akimoto Yasushi after preparing, "What cooperation?"

"Hahaha, the Buddha said: You can't say it." Naoki Yongshan deliberately made it mysterious, "It's just an idea at the moment, and I will talk to Datai-sang when the specific plan comes out."

Sugiura Taitai obviously believed it: "Then I will wait for Naoki-san~"

After continuing to chat about homework for a while, Naoki Nagayama and Otomo Yoshimura left.

After returning to the car, Yoshimura Otomo asked: "Naoki-san, will the Wildcats continue to be on camera? What if they are replaced later?"

Naoki Naoyama shook his head: "The kitten club has developed too fast, faster than I thought."

"I originally expected that they could last at least two years, but looking at it now, they can last until the end of the year."

Fangcun Dayou was surprised: "What? "Twilight Meow" is one of the hottest shows now!"

Only Naoki Yongshan knows that compared with "Twilight Meow Meow" in the previous life, there is no process of starting from scratch and improving step by step, so as to directly get the most perfect version of the program. Naturally, the debut is the pinnacle.

And this peak period is not very long.

"In short, there is a high probability that the future of the wild cat group will not be on this show, we have to make plans early~"

Now the name of the wild cat group has been exchanged back, and it is back to the idea of ​​​​Naoki Naoki to create an ever-victorious girl group like "Girls' Generation".

Fangcun Dayu was driving the car with a heavy heart: "Well, I will think about it~"

At the beginning of the new year, I accompanied Otomo Fangcun to visit everywhere, which made Naoki Naoyama feel a little busy.

After returning to Yamazakura Yard, I originally wanted to lie down on Ge You, but I didn't expect to see the reminder of the message light again.

"Why is there someone again~"

After pressing the play button, a familiar man's voice came out:

"Moses, Naoki-san, this is Shogakukan~ I wish you a happy new year and all the best~"

It's actually Kuniji Morikawa, the senior editor of the Shogakukan~

"Naoki-san, if you have time tomorrow, Xiao Xiaoguan hopes to come to visit and communicate with you about the signing event. I hope to get your reply~ the above~"

"."

Naoki Yongshan patted his head, "The signing event is about to begin! I actually forgot such a troublesome thing!"

We communicated a few years ago. In the Faculty of Literature of Keio University, a signing event similar to a forum was held. In short, there are various exchanges and other things.

It would be ugly if students asked me about it!

The second update~ I finally finished writing~
