Tokyo bubble life

Fuji TV is indeed one of the largest comprehensive media companies in the industry, and everyone is extremely well-informed.

Seiko Matsuda had just accepted an interview and boarded a plane to the United States. The news had already spread on the TV stations before even being distributed in newspapers.

“It’s less than half a month!” “How bold!” “Aren’t you afraid of losing followers?!”

No idol's scandal has ever caused such a big stir, and no top female idol has dared to be so decisive and resolute in love.

The original golden boy had no choice but to break up, which can be said to be a tragedy, but the woman announced her next love partner in a short period of time, half a month. Taking into account previous relationships, it can be considered a seamless connection!

It can even be considered cheating!

The neon entertainment industry is very tolerant of men's romantic relationships, but it is really harsh on women. Being labeled as cheating and emotionally unfaithful will be unacceptable to a large number of fans even if they are not married~

Nagayama Naoki sighed silently in his heart, maybe after a lightning marriage with Kanda Masaki, and then having children directly, this was part of the reason to avoid such limelight!

"Naoki-san?" Nishirumi came to the side, "Did you already know about it before?"

"Eh? Me?" Nagayama Naoki asked in confusion, "How would I know? I'm not familiar with Seiko-san."

"Then why are you not surprised at all, and instead look calm?" Xi Rumei discovered the blind spot very keenly, "It feels like you already knew it, so you are confident!"

"."

Nagayama Naoki was helpless. Is it possible that girls have such a keen sixth sense?

"You're thinking too much. I just didn't react~"

".Hmph~"

Nishi Rumi made a strange snort, but did not continue to ask further questions, but continued to share gossip with her friends in the company.

Naoki Nagayama stayed in the office for a while, chatted with Otasu Sugiura and others before leaving. He found a place to have lunch at noon, and then drove back to the studio.

"Kijima-kun, the broadcast time has been decided, it will be the first Friday in February." Nagayama Naoki first went to notify Kijima Kyun in the editing room, "So I have to work hard this week and finish the first three episodes. Shoot it!"

"Hi, Naoki-san, I will step up the shooting!"

Kijima Xu was excited, but he still showed the restraint of a mature director and responded calmly.

"Well, remember to give the promotional short film and other materials to Fuji TV~" Nagayama Naoki gave the contact information to Kijima Kyun, "I will go to Fuji TV more often in the future to get more familiar with it!"

"Hi!"

After returning to the office, Nagayama Naoki, Itou Shuichi and Yoshimura Otomo shared the news they had just received.

"Todoroki?!" "You actually admitted it in public? It's really amazing!"

After hearing the news about Seiko Matsuda, the two of them looked at Nagayama Naoki in great surprise.

"Why are you looking at me?"

Itou Shuichi said: "Speaking of which, Naoki-san, after the official announcement of his relationship with Akina Nakamori, it seems that artists have become much bolder in dating."

"???" Can you rely on me for this?

Yoshimura Otomo also nodded: "Yes, even though Yamaguchi Momoe and Miura Yuka's relationship has been an open secret, except for the final marriage, there has never been an official announcement. The closest thing to an official announcement seems to be Momoe Yamaguchi said it at the concert.

‘Now, I have a specific lover, this person, who is older than me, less than thirty years old. If you name him, everyone knows him. ’”

Yoshimura Otomo vividly simulated what Momoe Yamaguchi said at her solo concert. It was the closest. Artists in the 1980s, for the sake of fame, would hide things about their relationships.

Even if everyone knows, they remain silent in front of the media.

Some artists do it not to lose fans, while others do it to stir up scandals with others. Playing with ambiguity is also a good way to increase topics and exposure.

How can it be like Naoki Nagayama who openly told the media "Akina Nakamori is my girlfriend"

However, it seems that Naoki Nagayama broke this tacit understanding, causing Seiko Matsuda to even make an official announcement about their breakup. I wonder if there will be artists making official announcements about their private lives in the future.

"."

Listening to the analysis of the two people, if Naoki Nagayama didn't know the inside story, he might have thought that he really broke the first window~

"Forget it, let it be whatever you say~" Nagayama Naoki decided not to explain, it's hard to explain~

For people in the entertainment industry, chatting about gossip news is enough for a while. There are so many new hot topics every day, and it’s impossible to get immersed in them!

After Nagayama Naoki chatted with the two people for a while, he returned to business.

"Shuichi-san." Naoki Nagayama was thinking about the upcoming film awards, "I remember that the Blue Ribbon and Academy Awards will be announced in early February, right?"

"Hi! I've already asked about it. "Summer of Kikujiro" will definitely be shortlisted!" Itou Xiu nodded, and then laughed, "By the way, Naoki-san, I went to find an acquaintance and found out something Strange thing~"

"?"

"Naoki-san's "Summer of Kikujiro" has been nominated for so many awards. Actually, it is because there is a strange consensus among the judges." Itou Shuichi raised the corners of his mouth and smiled a little weirdly, "They, all of them I thought others wouldn’t choose this movie.”

"Why is this?" Naoki Nagayama was curious.

"Because of the unspoken rule that you can't win the Blue Ribbon Award and the Academy Award consecutively"

Idou Shuichi asked many judges before he got the result,

"They all thought that others would definitely not choose it, but "Kikujiro's Summer" is so excellent that it seems unfair to the film industry if they don't choose it, so for their own peace of mind, they checked it

Hahaha, in the end, they reached a consensus inexplicably and let this movie be nominated for most awards!"

"This" Naoyama Naoki was more and more surprised, "They are... Tsk tsk tsk~"

"Hahaha, this shows that God wants "Kikujiro's Summer" to win the award!" Idou Shuichi was very happy, this feeling of having the right time, place and people on our side is really great!

"Hehe~"

Naoki Nagayama shook his head. He was not too excited about this. The Academy Award and the Blue Ribbon were no longer his pursuit.

"Shuuichi-san, how is the Golden Palm Award going? Any news?"

Idou Shuichi calmed his smile and began to talk about the Golden Palm Award's judging:

"The film has been submitted to the jury and is currently in the preliminary review stage, but there must be no problem and it can enter the review."

"Review stage. I remember that the judges of the committee watched the movie and discussed it in a villa?"

"No, that is the final stage. The members of the jury decided the award from the shortlisted films," Idou Shuichi replied.

"I see."

"It is also at this stage that we need to work hard!" Itou Shuichi reminded at this time, "Naoki-san, although my mentor has many connections in the Japanese film industry, the jury members of the Cannes Film Festival are mostly European directors and producers."

"It means that we need to recruit people from the European film industry."

"Yes. After all, Shuyou Film is still young and has no accumulation in this industry."

Itou Shuichi sighed. It was okay in normal times, but when it came to the selection of such international awards, they had very few resources.

Not to mention Shochiku and Toei, even Kadokawa Film, which came later, inherited the foundation of Daiei Co., Ltd. At least in terms of directors, they have many old directors with rich qualifications and wide friends.

And Shuyou Film. All in all, there are only four guys who can be called directors~

"Alas, it seems that I have to contact old friends again~" Naoyama Naoki shook his head, and could only decide to drink more wine with Kadokawa Haruki and drink tea with Kobayashi Masaki.

"Shuichi-san, you should also visit your mentor more often!"

"Hey, it's already being done!" Idou Shuichi lit a cigarette and nodded calmly.

Yoshimura Otomo, who was sitting aside and listening, suddenly found that Naoyama Naoki did not give him any tasks. "Naoki-san? What about me? What should I do?"

"Otomo-san?" Naoyama Naoki looked at him and didn't know what to say for a moment. It seemed that Otomo-san couldn't help!

"Otomo-san, this is a matter of the film industry, you can't help~~~" Idou Shuichi waved his hand, "You don't have any acquaintances in the film industry."

"???"

Hearing this, Yoshimura Otomo couldn't stand it,

"Shuichi-san, Naoki-san, I don't agree with you! I helped to connect Kadokawa Haruki!"

"This is indeed Otomo-san's credit~" Naoyama Naoki agreed.

Shuichi Ito said, "But apart from Haruki-san, there shouldn't be any other people, Otomo-san."

"How dare you underestimate me?! I am Yoshimura Otomo, who is known as the 'socialite of the entertainment industry'!!!" Yoshimura Otomo immediately retorted!

"."

The other two were silent. If a woman had the title of "socialite of the entertainment industry", it would be fine, but Otomo-san, don't you feel ashamed? !

Seeing that the two were silent, Yoshimura Otomo immediately started to talk nonstop:

"Last week, I happened to participate in a high-end salon in the film industry and met many internationally renowned film critics."

"Akidou Madai, a high-end salon in the film industry, how come I don't know about it?" Shuichi Ito felt that he was already one of the big names in the film industry. Logically speaking, shouldn't he be invited to such a salon? Or Naoki-san?

"Ahem, the so-called high-end salon is actually going to a high-end club to drink wine."

"."

Hey, hey, hey, Otomo-san, you've lowered your status all of a sudden!

"Ahem, anyway, I made a lot of good friends there, and we became close friends after drinking." Yoshimura Otomo continued.

Nagayama Naoki nodded, they are definitely good brothers. The four irons!

"But, you can ask them to help you just after meeting them? That's the selection of the Cannes Film Festival." Ido Shuichi continued.

"Of course it won't work. But!" Yoshimura Otomo whetted the appetite of the two, "Among them, there are project staff of the Cannes Film Festival!"

Large film festivals like Cannes have eyes and ears all over the world! There are special project staff and film scouts from all over the world who are responsible for tracking movies all over the world throughout the year.

This kind of film festival also has a special kind of people with extensive connections, called "lobbyists", which are similar to lobbying groups in European and American elections, and they are all paid to do things.

"Naoki-san, we can spend a little money" Yoshimura Otomo showed an expression that everyone understands. This is not something that can be done with ordinary public relations fees.

Nagayama Naoki thought for a while: "Spend it and give you a budget of 1 billion"

Winning the Cannes Film Festival is not just a simple award, but also has real benefits.

The Cannes Film Festival is the world's largest film trading market, with nearly 5,000 news media from around the world gathered here

Award-winning films will be exposed worldwide and will be able to get film markets in other countries.

No country will refuse to introduce a Palme d'Or award-winning film!

This will bring more extensive box office and other benefits to the film!

"Hi!" Yoshimura Otomo nodded, and then looked at Idou Shuichi proudly, "Sure enough, I can help!"

"." Idou Shuichi was speechless~

"Hahaha, as expected, I declare that the title of Shuyou's strongest tool man is well-deserved by Otomo-san!" Naoki Nagayama joked with a smile~

This time Yoshimura Otomo's originally proud smile froze, but Idou Shuichi's face showed a smile

"Hahaha, Otomo-san, I don't know what you are so happy about."

"Shuichi-san!!!"

In the small office, the sound of Quanwuxing rang again!

In the production department of TBS, a planning meeting for a program was being held.

"Why not choose Akina Nakamori as the target of the first prank?" said producer Naoyuki Utsumi. "She is a top idol, and she is very straightforward. She seems to be easily pranked, and it may have a good effect."

"If she is scared to tears, the ratings may soar."

Neon prank variety shows have always been very fun, sometimes even the guests themselves don't know, so as to achieve the most realistic effect

Naoyuki Utsumi has pranked many male and female artists before, even idols such as Toshihiko Tahara and Kyoko Koizumi.

Now he has set his sights on the most popular people in the entertainment industry!

"But." A team member raised his hand to speak, and Shirakawa Naoyuki looked at Utsumi Naoyuki and said, "It seems that Akina Nakamori has started not to accept programs other than music programs this year?"

"?" Utsumi Naoyuki was surprised, "What do you mean?"

"I happened to be in charge of the production of a program before, and the program team called Ken-On to invite me. They said that Akina Nakamori is currently focusing on the music field and has reduced arrangements for comedy and other variety shows."

Shirakawa Naoyuki narrated the results of the previous communication. Although he said it very tactfully, it meant that this kind of small notice would not be accepted!

"Haha, don't worry, yours must be less famous." Utsumi Naoyuki was full of confidence, "My prank program is famous all over the country, and Ken-On will definitely not refuse it!"

"."

Shirakawa Naoyuki looked at the confident Utsumi Naoyuki and stopped talking.

"Besides, we are TBS. If Akina Nakamori dares to refuse, will she still be on TBS's music program "THE BEST TEN" in the future?!"

"."

Shirakawa Naoyuki continued to remain silent.

You sound like you can decide who can be on "THE BEST TEN".

You will know after you contact them. Maybe they don't care. You know, TV Asahi's "Music Station" is her boyfriend's program!
