Tokyo bubble life

The first episode of "Century of Love" was finally played~

The handsome male protagonist Hideki Saijo attracted the attention of the audience as soon as he appeared on the scene. Especially when he restored his long hair style, it filled old fans with memories.

And the young and cute Momoko Kikuchi also made the viewers in front of the TV shine.

The wonderful relationship between urban men and women begins when they can't get on the last tram.

Nagayama Naoki hugged his girlfriend and watched the pictures on the TV screen, fascinated. Although he had seen the preliminary edited version, the official version with the opening and closing cutscenes and the theme song was still interesting to watch.

"Hey! It's been cut! It's been cut!" Akina Nakamori exclaimed while biting potato chips, "Hideki-san's hair was cut off!"

"."

Nagayama Naoki looked at his girlfriend in his arms slightly speechlessly,

"Mingna, do you artists always connect the characters with their real identities when they see them in the TV series?"

Akina Nakamori glanced at Naoki Nagayama unexpectedly:

"Naoki-san, aren't you also an artist? When you meet a real person, you are more recognizable than the character, so of course you will bring it in."

"I changed my career." Nagayama Naoki complained, "So Akina-chan thinks Saijo Hideki-san has many of his own characteristics, right?"

"Hey! That's it~" Akina Nakamori nodded, "But it's still very interesting!"

"I see." Naoki Nagayama kept it in his mind, and decided to have a chat with Kyū Kijima to make improvements in the following episodes.

"What do Akina think of this TV series?" Naoki Nagayama asked at the end.

"It feels very relaxing and interesting." Akina Nakamori said, "Although I have never worked before, this is probably what a white-collar life is like~"

"White-collar workers." Nagayama Naoki's lips twitched slightly, "They are people who are in jail in cubicles."

"Hey, is it so scary?"

"Let me tell you Akina. Don't envy white-collar workers. If you stay in a cubicle for a long time, you will suffer from lumbar muscle strain, shoulder and neck pain, high blood pressure and fatty liver."

Nagayama Naoki spoke from experience and finally concluded,

"In the end, when you get older, you will be kicked out of the company, and all the money you earn will be spent on medical treatment. Ah, wait, it seems that there is a lifetime employment system in Neon."

"."

Nakamori Akina looked at her boyfriend in confusion. She didn't know why Naoki-san knew so much about white-collar workers, even though he had never worked before~

At the same time, thousands of households are watching Fuji TV’s prime time TV series~

In the exaggerated but realistic work, the long hair retained by the male protagonist Teppei Katagiri is like the remaining stubbornness of a young social animal, which resonates with many people.

And the moment the long hair was cut off, the hero's uniqueness and stubbornness were cut away, and it seemed to be cut into the hearts of the audience.

"That's too much!" "Why is Riko like this?!" "I will definitely not be able to speak to such a person in the future!"

Various discussions came out from the audience. I originally thought it was an ordinary love story. After meeting by chance at night, they would naturally get to know each other and fall in love!

And this move at the end made people pay more attention to this TV series.

"What's going to happen next?"

"Is it forcibly laundered?"

Countless spectators were thinking like this in their heads and gradually fell asleep~

Early the next morning, even though it was a weekend, there seemed to be a cat's paw twitching in my heart.

What happens next? What will happen?

TV stations don’t have weekends.

Naoki Nagayama received a call from Otasu Sugiura at home:

"Naoki-san, as you expected, the average ratings for the first episode reached about 22%, and the highest instant ratings were really during the hair-cutting scene!"

"Haha, I must have followed the fame of Hideki Saijo and Momoko Kikuchi when I first started watching it. Coupled with the audience of Fuji TV itself, I got such a high starting point."

Naoki Nagayama analyzed,

"But the next episode will depend on the appeal of this TV series."

"Hey, don't worry, Naoki-san," Otasu Sugiura said excitedly. "Since yesterday's broadcast, the TV station has received many hotline calls from viewers, and as of this morning, there are still many people asking."

"That's great!"

Naoki Nagayama himself has no doubts about the excellence of "Century of Love", because apart from the love in the office, the complicated and confusing emotional lines in it are enough to attract most boring women.

Coupled with Xicheng Hideki's handsome appearance that suits all sizes, he will definitely be able to win over a large number of fans.

"We are very much looking forward to the next broadcast," Otasu Sugiura continued, "By the way, Naoki-san, many viewers have called to ask what the meaning of the crystal apple in the TV series is."

"." Naoki Nagayama was helpless, "It symbolizes love! What else can love like crystal be?"

Sugiura Oitai was silent: "I thought it symbolized the apple in the Garden of Eden that tempted Adam and Eve to eat."

Naoki Nagayama smiled:

"We need to treat the audience as children. There are too many metaphors that others cannot see. Simple and crude is the last word!"

"What Naoki-san said makes sense."

After chatting with Sugiura Otae, Nagayama Naoki calmed down and prepared to spend a leisurely weekend.

As everyone knows, the trend about crystal apples began to spread in Neon

Workday, studio.

"What is this?" Itou Shuichi curiously took the document bag from Naoki Nagayama's hand.

"Script, this is the script!" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Didn't Shuichi-san ask me to give you a good script before?"

"?!!"

Itou Shuichi was extremely surprised.

"Naoki-san, I just asked you for a script last week, right? To write one so quickly? Are you possessed by a monster?!"

".It's so noisy!" Naoki Nagayama squinted at Itou Shuichi, "Don't look at geniuses with your own eyes."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk~" Itou Shuichi opened the document bag and saw a few big words clearly written on the title of the document - "Squid Game".

Nagayama Naoki then began to explain:

"I just found this script during the weekend by digging through the bottom of the box. It was written during the filming of "The Summer of Kikujiro". However, because the plot was too advanced and very bloody and violent, I kept it at the bottom of the box."

"Last time Shuichi-san said he wanted to shoot something a little different, so he remembered this script. So he brought it over~"

Itou Shuichi had already turned to the summary and was immediately attracted by the background introduction of the story.

Bet your life and participate in a game where you will die if you fail, but you can get hundreds of millions of bonuses if you live. Once you participate, you can never quit!

"This setting." Shuichi Itou touched his chin carefully, "It's asking you how much your life is worth?"

"Also, we need to explore the changes in human nature under extreme circumstances and inner choices." Naoki Nagayama talked endlessly about the pros and cons of the script, and then said, "One more thing. It is very bloody, violent and exciting!"

"That is, it can attract the audience."

Itou Shuichi added the next sentence, and then continued reading with interest. He had never seen such a script in current movies and TV series.

Moreover, the point of "games at the cost of lives" seems to have great potential, and it is possible to create a subdivision of movies!

"As expected, it's Naoki-san, but his actions are different."

Nagayama Naoki shook his head. Originally, he wanted to deliver "Battle Royale", but now the neon bubble has not yet risen, let alone the unemployment, depression, and loss of people's confidence after the bubble burst.

Without such a social background, "Battle Royale" would be just an ordinary plasma film.

At this moment, Yoshimura Otomo, who had been listening next to him, suddenly asked:

"Naoki-san, you wrote this script while filming "Kikujiro's Summer"?"

"Well, Tanaka Yuko-san happened to be there at that time, and I got the idea while chatting with her." Naoki Nagayama explained a little.

". I actually wrote a violent and bloody script while filming a warm comedy, and I got the inspiration from chatting with a very charming lady."

Yoshimura Otomo's eyes became more and more strange, and he said to Itou Shuichi who was looking carefully:

"Shuichi-san, our Naoki-san's head is really different from that of a normal person! Do you think we two have to be careful? He might be thinking about some murder plot now!"

"." Nagayama Naoki was speechless.

And Itou Shuichi said nonchalantly:

"Otomo-san, look at it. At least we and Naoki-san are in the same camp now. If one day Naoki-san turns into a serial killer, as long as we surrender quickly, we will definitely survive to the end!"

"Hahaha~ That makes sense!"

Listening to the two guys’ teasing, Nagayama Naoki made two paper airplanes with manuscript paper:

"I'll let the plane hit you and kill you right now!"

"Ah, I'm dead~"

Otomo Yoshimura who was hit pretended to be dead. The atmosphere in the office suddenly became much more relaxed.

Next, when Itou Shuichi read the script, Yoshimura Otomo and Nagayama Naoki chatted about the current development of several Shuyu idols.

"Junko-chan has nothing to say. Your career as an idol can last for a few more years, but you will have to consider a real career change after that. Maybe you can retire directly." Yoshimura Otomo first talked about the idol with the most seniority.

"Well, if the idol wants to get married and retire, our agency will definitely support it!"

Naoki Nagayama himself does not regard idols as commodities, and does not have the habit of crazily squeezing artists like other agencies. In fact, at the very beginning, Naoki Nagayama did not want to sign female idols at all.

It was simply Naoki Nagayama who raised the wrong card, and Naoki Nagayama also put a lot of effort into compensating Junko Ito.

The three Maoyan sisters are purely a girl group experiment~

However, later Yuki Saito, Momoko Kikuchi, and Kaoru Kobitari were all signed for making movies. Chiko Aoyama was signed for the sake of her neighbors. As for Shizuka Kudo and Rie Miyazawa, they were just herding sheep. And the attitude of herding a flock of sheep.

"Peach-chan is busy with "Century of Love", and the others are more or less free." Yoshimura Otomo said, "Naoki-san, do you have any plans for them?"

"Instead of Shizuka Kudo and Rie Miyazawa, let's train them like idols first!" Naoki Nagayama said, "I think they have potential."

"As for the others"

Nagayama Naoki thought of "Umi Street Diary". There happened to be four sisters in it!

"Yuki-chan, Chikoko-chan, Kaoru-chan. They will participate in the filming of a movie this year, "Umi Street Diary"~" Naoki Nagayama arranged work for several people.

"As for the Cat's Eye Sisters"

Naoki Nagayama was in a dilemma. These three members were actually models for adult magazines. Although one of them had fair skin, beautiful face and long legs, they were older and their potential was almost here.

"As for them, I haven't made up my mind yet. I'll just hang out in the show first. I'll participate in more TV dramas and play supporting roles."

"Hey, I understand~"

Yoshimura Otomo sighed. He still had feelings for the Wildcats.

Naoki Nagayama saw it and said with a smile: "If Otomo-san still wants to try a girl group, he can also try to run it himself."

"I'll consider it!"

Yoshimura Otomo is now the top person in the Tree Friends. If he wants to support a girl group, it's also possible.

Naoki Nagayama was just here to deliver a script. After chatting in the office for more than an hour, he was ready to leave.

When I walked out, I happened to see Xing Jiahua and Suzuki Yukatsu receiving a big package at the front desk.

"Hana-chan, Yukatsu-chan, did you buy anything?" Naoki Naoki stopped to watch curiously, "Such a big package"

"It's crystal apples!" Suzuki Yukatsu rushed to say, "In the fan club managed by Shuyou, many people are discussing crystal apples, so I bought a lot of them as prizes"

In addition to selling idol peripherals, they also need to organize activities in fan clubs to stimulate stickiness!

"Oh? Many people are discussing?"

Naoki Naoki took out a crystal apple from the box. The production level was not as high-end as his customized one, but it was still crystal clear and very beautiful.

"Hi!" Xing Jiahua also replied, "Naoki-san, you don't know, since the weekend, my friends have been discussing "Love Century" and the crystal apple in it."

"When contacting other agencies, they knew that "Love Century" was produced by Shuyou, and many people also asked about the crystal apple"

The two girls excitedly popularized the popularity of "Love Century" to Naoki Naoki, which surprised him.

When communicating with Fuji TV, they only talked about the popularity!

Xing Jiahua finally said:

"Now almost all craft shops in Tokyo's shopping streets have crystal apples on display. Everyone says that crystal apples are a symbol of love. So couples are buying them!"

"."

The TV series hasn't even shown the love story yet!

Naoki Nagayama felt like he had overlooked something. What made crystal apples suddenly so popular? !

He felt that he had to go to Fuji TV to ask clearly.
