Tokyo bubble life

Naoki Nagayama succeeded in the end and walked out of the lounge in a good mood. If a man and a woman stay alone in the same room together, what might happen~

After arriving at the venue, I chatted with a few people I knew in the industry, gossiped, and talked about the world. With his current reputation and status in the industry, most people in the entertainment industry would not refuse to chat with him.

"Sure enough, in today's entertainment industry, it doesn't matter what your idol is like. Fame and fans are the most important thing." A senior industry insider sighed sourly, "As long as you are famous, it doesn't matter how good your singing skills are. Whether you are professional or not, whether you sing well or not, many people will support you ~

The sales volume of records is higher than that of some professional singers~"

Obviously he's making fun of a certain actor with a big nose~

"Yes, yes~" "As long as fans buy it~" "This is also a kind of idol~"

Everyone is echoing that this trend has actually been around for a long time, but it’s just not as naked as it is now.

If you are good at business, you will become an official, and if you are good at acting, you will sing. This is a common cross-border phenomenon, but now there is a trend that if you are not good at singing, you will still act, and if you are not good at acting, you will still sing. In the future, there will even be people who cut out pictures and still have to act. , the phenomenon of singing even the pad sounds.

Nagayama Naoki smiled and added: "Maybe in the future, just a virtual character can become an idol and release records~"

"Hahaha, Naoki-san can really joke~"

"Virtual idol?"

"Are they drawn on paper like comic characters? They should be called paper talents, right?"

"Isn't that just two dimensions? Two dimensions?"

"."

Nagayama Naoki's words aroused heated discussion among the people present. Although everyone believes that the characteristics of idols are getting weaker and weaker, can a two-dimensional virtual character also become an idol?

This is too exaggerated!

impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Everyone's discussion attracted more people's attention. As a senior executive of Fuji TV, Ikki Takano naturally wanted to participate in the FNS Gayo Festival hosted by Fuji TV, and he was also attracted.

"Naoki-san?"

I saw Naoki Nagayama in the crowd at a glance. Other handsome guys and pretty girls were preparing in the lounge. Everyone at the venue could not be said to be crooked, but most of them didn't have a particularly outstanding image, so they were just ordinary. Naoki Nagayama stands out like a chicken standing out from the crowd.

"Minister Takano~" Naoki Nagayama greeted.

"What are you talking about? So lively?" Takano Ikki walked to the side curiously.

"About the development of future idols~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "I am saying that future idols are likely to be two-dimensional paper figures~"

"This is too exaggerated!!!" Takano Ikki opened his eyes wide, "How could anyone like Paper Man?"

"Anyway, the idols everyone sees are on TV or in newspapers, so what's the difference between them and paper figures~"

Nagayama Naoki's words have aroused many people's discussion. Speaking of which, compared to real idols, such paper figures actually have great benefits. There is no mess, the image and character are all shaped by the producer, and there is no need to pay wages.

If you think about it this way, it seems very attractive.

"Ahem, we'll talk about this later."

Takano Kazuki did not indulge in this reverie for too long. As a pragmatic TV station management, he might as well let his subordinates experiment.

But since I happened to meet Naoki Nagayama, I had something to talk about.

"Naoki-san, please take a step to speak~"

Takano Ikki whispered, and after speaking, he really took a step to the side.

"."

You really only take one step! Wouldn't the guys next to me hear it clearly? Why are you trying to sound like a secret agent? ?

Although Nagayama Naoki didn't understand, he still expressed respect:

"Ahem. Minister Takano, what do you want to say?"

Takano Kazuki didn't notice anything strange and started chatting directly with Nagayama Naoki: "Naoki-san, regarding the word of the year in the "Newspeak Buzzword Awards". I've had a lot of calls from people recently. "

"oh?"

Although I knew that this program would probably attract the attention of politicians and higher-ups, someone called me so early.

"It's about the 'Glico Morinaga Case.'" said Takano Kazuki and Nagayama Naoki. "The top brass of the National Police Agency and some senior government officials have expressed their opinions that this case cannot be the word of the year this year."

The Glico Morinaga incident refers to the period from 1984 to 1985, which started with the kidnapping of Katsuhisa Esaki, the president of Esaki Glico Food Company, and demanded ransom. It eventually developed into threatening poisoning and demanding ransom from many Japanese food companies. Crime cases.

It was the legendary Neon's first "unsolved incident" and a major serial case that shocked Japan.

In Naoki Nagayama's memory, the criminal was not found until later generations. It is Neon's most famous Showa mystery, and it was adapted into an anime plot by "Ghost in the Shell".

"Should I use 'poison' for this word?" Nagayama Naoki whispered, and then said to Takano Ikki, "Can Fuji TV be unable to withstand the pressure?"

"They are all high-level government officials. They have escalated to the point of damaging the police's capabilities and the image of national security."

In fact, Fuji TV has produced a lot of "offensive" programs. As one of the powerful and deep-rooted major capitals, a little pressure from politicians will naturally not be too troublesome. After all, it is a "liberal and democratic" country, and for the people opinions are still valued

However, for a fairly ordinary show, there seems to be no need to go against them.

"Naoki-san, what do you think we should do? Give up? Or persist?" Takano Ikki asked.

"Mr. Takano~"

Naoki Nagayama looked back at the others who were eavesdropping, and couldn't help but shook his head, "Isn't the case still under investigation?

All you need to do is get a notice from the police station and explain the reason why it would affect the investigation in order to prevent criminals from increasing their motive for committing crimes due to annual voting~"

"The people are a bunch of rabble. If you have a decent explanation, you won't have to worry too much!"

Just like how many out-of-spec heroes will be banned during LOL rankings, this is the rule~

This way the program won't be said to be a behind-the-scenes operation or anything like that!

Coming from the Internet and self-media era of later generations, Naoki Nagayama knows all too well how easily ordinary people can be manipulated by the media.

"This doesn't seem to be a problem."

Time flies by while chatting with Shui Shui.

In the blink of an eye, the empty seats in the venue were filled with people, and the preliminaries for the FNS Music Festival officially began.

Naturally, Naoki Nagayama sat in the front row with the best view, sitting with TV executives and big names in the entertainment industry. He had no pressure to score and simply enjoyed the performances on stage.

When each artist comes on stage, dry ice mist will be sprayed on the stage. Under the colorful radiant lights, it looks like the heavenly palace in the 82 version of "Journey to the West"~

When Akina Nakamori came out, her golden tutu skirt and purple eye shadow and lip gloss were eye-catching and colorful.

A skillful rendition of "Ten Commandments" demonstrated a perfect stage performance, making the audience enthusiastically beat the music and cheer.

In addition to "The Ten Commandments", Akina Nakamori's songs for the competition include "North Wing" and "Snow Flower". She quickly changed into a white tutu, and the lights on the stage also changed to white, and a film floated down. Snowflake.

"

The wind is cold (the cold wind is rising)

Winter's winter breath

そろそろこの街に (This city will also welcome)

君とNearly pays the season がくる (The season that is closer to you)

"

Switching from passionate melody to gentle melody, Nakamori Akina's deep and soft voice made the judges and the audience fall into the warm winter love ~

The quality of the song has been proven by sales, and at this time, Akina's free switching of styles made people feel her solid singing skills and stage performance.

Naoki Nagayama was very pleased as he watched his girlfriend show off her charm on the stage.

With her own existence, Akina is now not only at the peak of her appearance and figure, but also has reached the peak of her career almost a full year in advance~

Maybe you will have a chance to win the Japan Record Awards this year

In Naoki Nagayama's reverie, Akina's performance has ended. He also saw his own artists Junko Ito and Chiko Aoyama. Chiko Aoyama's "Thank You" may also win the Newcomer Award~

In the subsequent performances, both familiar and unfamiliar actors appeared on the stage. Naoki Nagayama listened to Teresa Deng's "つぐない" (Repayment)~

I also saw Jackie Chan perform "Marianne" on stage. He had a strong Beijing accent, and there was indeed a Chinese prompter board underneath. It looked like he still hadn't memorized Japanese~

However, among the audience, a group of female fans actually stood up and cheered loudly for him. At this time, the popularity of the kung fu superstar in Neon was evident.

After the judges scored the fulfilling and intense song festival, the sky outside had darkened for almost two hours.

"Naoki-san, are you going to the next party?" Takano Ikki invited, "They say Naoki-san never shows up at such parties. He is a very mysterious person!"

It is true that Naoki Nagayama rarely attends such banquets. There is a feeling in the industry that this person seems to be everywhere but not many people have seen him.

"Haha, it's not that exaggerated~ I just don't like to socialize very much~"

"So since everyone is here today?" Takano Ikki took Nagayama Naoki and left with the people going out, "Then let's have a drink."

"But, I have to drive."

"There's a price, there's a taxi."

Just like that, Naoki Nagayama was dragged to the celebration party after the Gayo Festival~

In the banquet hall, champagne glasses were piled up in towers, and delicious food was eagerly awaited on the tables. However, most people just had some snacks or a glass of wine, and then walked among the crowd, chatting with different people. Human set is almost chatting.

There are even reporters with cameras inside and a background wall for taking photos, so that celebrities can take photos together, or accept one or two questions from the media, or give acceptance speeches.

After entering the banquet hall, Takano Ikki did drag Nagayama Naoki to meet with some big guys, drank a glass or two of wine by the way, and then went to find others by himself.

Naoki Nagayama who stayed behind didn’t even remember their names. There were so many people~

"It's just a gathering like this. It's all in vain~"

Nagayama Naoki took a small cake and found a remote corner to taste it, like a child being brought into Vanity Fair by an adult.

"I was annoyed by this kind of socializing in my last life. This time I finally have the confidence to not rely on others. I will rarely come to such high-class parties in the future. Are you tired~"

Various thoughts kept popping up in his head. Naoki Nagayama felt that he was standing at a higher angle, looking down at all the living beings below who were burdened by fame and wealth.

"Naoki-san?" A sudden call brought Nagayama Naoki back to his senses.

"Yukiko-chan?" Nagayama Naoki recognized the very delicate new idol.

"I heard that Naoki-san was here when I was backstage, but I never saw it. Now I finally found it!"

Okada Yukiko smiled, then held up the champagne in her hand,

"You haven't thanked Naoki-san for your song yet, Arigado!"

"Well, it's nothing, Yukiko-chan sings very well~"

After giving the song "Dream をあきらめらないで (Don't Give Up the Dream)" to Yoshimura Otomo, Nagayama Naoki stopped caring about it, but Okada Yukiko also sang on the stage.

Speaking of which, at this FNS Music Festival, Naoki Nagayama sang four or five songs, and every song was shortlisted for the final award, which really caused a stir in the music industry.

"Anyway, I still have to thank you~"

Because of this song, Yukiko Okada has already entered the fast track of idols in advance. She just debuted not long ago, and now she is an idol at the level below Seiko Matsuda and Akina Nakamori.

If Akina is a super first-tier idol, then maybe Okada Yukiko can be called a new first-tier idol? All in all, it’s a new force~

"Why is Naoki-san here alone?" Okada Yukiko asked.

"Because I'm hungry." Nagayama Naoki smiled and ate the small cake, joking, "Actually, this kind of social situation is very boring, I just don't want to deal with them~"

"No wonder seniors say that Naoki-san is a unique person." Okada Yukiko said with a smile.

After entering the entertainment industry, she became familiar with various celebrities, and she had seen everyone she often saw on TV many times.

However, Naoki Nagayama, a popular celebrity in the entertainment industry, has only met him once or twice, under the leadership of Seiko Matsuda.

"I'm just too lazy to go out all the time~"

Nagayama Naoki smiled and chatted with Okada Yukiko.

Handsome men and beautiful women attract attention wherever they are, even in such crowded and complicated situations.

Nagayama Naoki, who is known as the playboy, was chatting and laughing with the rising youth idol, and was soon noticed by interested people at the party.

"That person is Naoki Nagayama, right~"

"The person next to me seems to be a female idol who just debuted this year~"

"oh?"

More or less eyes began to gather towards the originally remote corner. Even the media who were originally interviewing at the other end heard the news and turned their heads several times.

However, in front of them were the popular martial arts star Jackie Chan and other artists. After thinking about it, they decided to focus on this side.
