Tokyo bubble life

Naoki Nagayama received the message in the studio~

"You called here?" Seeing Xing Jiahua report, Naoki Nagayama was a little curious, "I originally planned to go to Yama Sakura Court to change a message."

"Maybe there is something urgent. I have called the studio before~" Yoshimura Otomo said with a smile.

"Maybe~" Naoki Nagayama nodded and said to Xing Jiahua, "Arigato, Hana-chan, I will go to confirm~"

"Then I'll take my leave first~"

After Xing Jiahua left, Naoki Nagayama and Yoshimura Otomo continued the previous topic, the plan for Shuyou in the second half of the year.

"If it's April, it can be filmed directly and released in May." Yoshimura Otomo said there was no problem, "Then the next one is Shuichi-san's TV series. "Squid Game"~"

"Have you discussed which TV station will broadcast "Squid Game"?"

Yoshimura Otomo nodded: "Shuichi-san has an acquaintance at TBS. We have talked several times and he seems to be very interested~"

"TBS. OK~"

Nagayama Naoki didn't say much. Idou Shuichi was the person in charge, so his opinion was the main one.

"There is still "Our Little Sister" to be released at the end of the year, but there is still something missing in the middle~"

Naoki Nagayama was helpless: "Didn't we invest in the animation studio before? But each animated film takes more than a year. So there is no way for the time being."

"But the film aspect is still very important. Do you want to continue to expand the IP of "Hot Blood School" or "Midnight Ring"? "Yoshimura Otomo suggested, "As long as there is another one in the second half of the year, it will be almost enough~"

"Well, let me think about it"

This is indeed a very troublesome thing. There is no suitable movie script for the time being, and Naoki Nagayama can only let Otomo-san collect scripts from other screenwriters.

After lunch, Naoki Nagayama took the time to call Nishi Rumi of Fuji TV and learned that they would invite him to watch the final season of "Twilight Meow".

As a variety show planned by himself, Naoki Nagayama did not refuse

In the afternoon, driving his convertible, Naoki Nagayama came to the headquarters of Fuji TV again.

"Ota, Akimoto, and Nishirumi." Naoki Nagayama came to the office area of ​​the production team and saw almost all the familiar people there.

"Naoki-san," Sugiura Ota smiled, "I finally waited for you~"

"Huh? Are you all waiting for me?" Naoki Nagayama was a little embarrassed, "I just came to see, there's no need!"

"After all, it's the last episode, Naoki-san is the original planner. There should be a sense of ceremony!" Sugiura Ota smiled and invited Naoki Nagayama to sit in the middle of a group of main creators, "After all, "Twilight Meow" was popular for a whole year last year!"

"Aha~" Naoki Nagayama also sat down and started watching this last episode with everyone.

Because it happened to be the cherry blossom season, the planning theme of the last episode was as fleeting as cherry blossoms. The outdoor studio was actually placed in Yoyogi Park, and the decoration of the indoor studio was also pink and tender cherry blossom pink.

The program invited all the members of the Kitten Club from the first episode to the last. Some are studying, some have started families, and some are still in the entertainment industry. However, compared to before, everyone has changed differently after participating in "Twilight Meow".

"What does "Twilight Meow" mean to you?" The host interviewed several members and heard their feelings about the program.

The original members of the Kitten Club shared their own insights:

"It was like a psychedelic dream. I woke up so quickly that I couldn't even remember the details. But the feeling of being very happy and excited can always stay in my heart."

After several members finished speaking, all the members wore kimonos and cat ear accessories, and sang the original songs - "Let's Learn to Meow Together" and "Don't Take Off My Sailor Suit" against the background of cherry blossoms.

"That's very well said." Naoki Nagayama praised below and looked at Akimoto Yasushi next to him, "This copy was written by Akimoto-san!"

Akimoto Yasushi was silent for a while, but still nodded:

"Hey. But how did Naoki-san know? Couldn't it be her insights?"

Naoki Nagayama shook his head: "Akimoto-san and the others are just a group of high school girls. How could they say such insightful words."

Speaking of which, the members of the Kitten Club are almost all teenage high school girls, some of whom have not even received their high school diplomas. No matter how they think about it, they have no ability to write such copy.

Akimoto Yasushi was silent again. Naoki-san is still so sharp!

The nearly one-hour show finally ended under everyone's gaze. When everyone was crying and saying "Mina-san, what's up~", the girl Nishi Rumi still had some red eyes with some sadness.

However, the heartless men like Akimoto Yasushi and Sugiura Daitai were indifferent. After all, the show was planned and produced by them, so they were naturally not moved.

As for Naoki Nagayama, the information explosion in the Internet era in his previous life made his threshold very high. With his current threshold, it is easy to make him laugh, but it is easy to make him moved.

"Autumn in My Heart", "Sorry, I Love You", "One Liter of Tears", "Unnatural Death", "Sword of Immortality", "To Live", "Soldier Assault".

First, watch all these movies and TV series that make you cry, including sadomasochism, life and death pain, brotherhood, etc., and then watch them dozens of times and see what else can make you cry! !

However, the atmosphere in the office was still depressed for a while~

"Naoki-san" After being silent for a while, Akimoto Yasushi raised the topic, "After the end of "Twilight Meow Meow", is there any program that Naoki-san wants to continue producing?"

"Me?" Naoki Nagayama thought for a moment, "I actually don't know much about variety shows~"

"."

Everyone in the office was silent again!

Don’t quite understand? I don’t quite understand that you planned the hit “Twilight Meow”? There is also "Newspeak Buzzword Awards" with stable ratings. I don't know much about variety shows, so what is "Music Station" that TV Asahi is currently competing with Fuji TV and TBS? !

Fortunately, Sugiura Oitai reacted and quickly smiled to smooth things over:

"Naoki-san should be focusing on TV dramas now. "Century of Love" is the most important stage."

"Haha, "Century of Love" is mainly due to director Kyū Kijima. I just provided a script." Naoki Nagayama waved his hand modestly, "He did the rest of the work!"

Akimoto Yasushi continued:

""Century of Love" is also coming to an end. Does Shuyou have any plans for the next TV series?"

Sugiura Oyasu also immediately interjected: "If there is any, we at Fuji TV would be very willing to cooperate!"

He already knows now that it is best not to get off Naoki Nagayama's thick legs, whether it is a variety show, TV series, or movie. Naoki Nagayama's name is a golden sign.

"Hmm" Nagayama Naoki thought for a moment, "Shuyu's next TV series project is called "Squid Game". However, this TV series may not be suitable for the style of Fuji TV."

"Our Fuji TV style can change a lot!" Otasu Sugiura immediately assured, "Naoki-san, please be sure to consider Fuji TV!"

"."

Other producers will shed tears of envy when they hear this! When have they ever seen Fuji TV be so groveling!

However, Naoki Nagayama still declined:

"The general person in charge of "Squid Game" is Director Yi Tang, and he has already communicated with TBS."

"." Sugiura Otai immediately said in disappointment, "Is there no room for change?"

"Haha, it's almost done," Naoki Nagayama comforted, "but "Squid Game" is indeed a very novel and bold TV series, and it's a bit violent and bloody. Fuji TV may not necessarily accept it. Because TBS currently lacks TV series, that's why we are willing to try~ "

Hearing these words was comforting, Sugiura Otasu could not refute, so he could only nod his head. This discussion of a new project should have passed by now~

However, Yasushi Akimoto had been holding his breath and wanted to compete with Naoki Nagayama. After seeing Otasu Sugiura's disappointment, he became increasingly jealous.

I originally gave you no less than a dozen scripts, but none of you had the intention to produce them. Now Naoki Nagayama throws out one at random... and it turns out...

"Naoki-san, what do you think of the future of the new variety show type of romance show?" He could only show off his proudest romance show~

"It's a very interesting show~" Nagayama Naoki nodded and helped analyze it based on the memory in his mind, "However, when various TV stations start to imitate it, the audience's attention may be diverted~ Moreover, love There are only so many routines, and the audience’s attention fatigue also needs to be considered.”

"In other words, it's not a longevity project, right?" Qiu Yuanyasu asked a little unhappily.

Naoki Nagayama smiled and replied: "Haha, yes, any program whose content cannot be constantly updated with current events will definitely not be a long-lived program."

Nishi Rumi interjected: "So what type of longevity program does Naoki-san think of?"

"Of course it's a news program, hahaha, the type most closely related to current events!" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Speaking of which, "Newspeak Buzzword Awards" is also a program that follows current events!"

"Haha, news doesn't count!" Xi Rumei also laughed.

Yasushi Akimoto continued to ask: "Apart from these? Isn't there a longer-lived type?!"

"Of course. Comedy variety shows like "It's Okay to Laugh" will also work, as long as the latest jokes are added~" Naoki Nagayama said, "Even if the show doesn't work, it's okay to change the format. After all, happiness is the audience's The eternal pursuit~"

"Type of funny variety show"

In fact, funny variety shows have the most types among all variety shows. When talking about this, Sugiura Otayoshi and others all participated in the discussion and began to express their thoughts one by one.

Making people laugh is both easy and difficult. Otherwise, why do cartoonists and comedians have the highest salaries in the entertainment industry?

"Naoki-san, this show you are talking about is very difficult!" Yasushi Akimoto was not convinced, "There is no show that can make people laugh casually."

"Haha, it's actually very simple. It's just like playing a game between friends. Everyone laughs easily~" Nagayama Naoki blurted out without paying attention.

"Oh?" Yasushi Akimoto immediately caught the blind spot, "What game is so funny?"

"Well"

Nagayama Naoki paused for a moment, and his mind suddenly searched for games that were simple, fun, interesting and could make people laugh. Then he thought of the comedy variety show that was once very popular in South Korea.

"For example, a game called 'Of course'~"

"???" Everyone looked over curiously.

"Eh? Don't you all know?" Nagayama Naoki pretended to be surprised, "It's a very popular game among college students."

"."

"Okay, it's actually very simple. I'll teach you!"

Nagayama Naoki quickly divided the people in the office into two teams, and then explained,

"This is a game of comparing who is thick-skinned, in other words, a game of comparing shame. One group member speaks to the other, and no matter what is said, the other person has to answer 'Of course' to confirm it. . If you break the defense and cannot say "Of course" within five seconds, you will lose!"

It was a very simple rule, and everyone understood it at once.

Akimoto Yasushi was still laughing in his heart, "That's it? Who can't answer 'Of course'. Just close your eyes and that's it~"

After everyone understood it, Nagayama Naoki acted as the referee first and let Sugiura Oyasu and Nishi Rumi try it out first.

Sugiura Oitai spoke first, and he thought for a while:

"Nishirumi-san. Actually, you like Naoki Nagayama, right?!"

Nishi Rumi was stunned for a moment, glanced at Nagayama Naoki who was laughing next to her, and even though she was a little embarrassed, she said:

"Of course!"

"Hahahaha~" Everyone started to laugh, and for a moment they understood the point of the game.

During Nishi Rumi’s turn, she looked at Sugiura Otayoshi and said directly:

"Da Taisang, you are very cheerful on the outside, but in fact you are very dark on the inside, right?"

Sugiura Oitai was silent for a second: "Of course!"

In an instant, the fighting atmosphere between the two became intense, and everyone watched with great anticipation as the two opponents exchanged vicious words!

"Nishirumi-san, you dream about marrying into a wealthy family every day, right?!" "Of course!"

"Da Taisang, you have been coveting the position of minister for a long time, right?!" "Of course!"

"Nishirumi-san, you cry silently when you see the cramped apartment every day when you go home, right?!" "Of course!"

"Da Taisang, you always sit on the chair in the office for a while after the minister leaves, right?" "Of course~"

"."

Hohoho~ "Awesome!" "You can say it all!" "Nishirumi-san hates getting married so much!" "Otaita-san really wants the position of minister."

Although the people nearby sounded very exciting, they still couldn't let both sides break through the defense until it was Nishi Rumi's turn again.

"Da Taisang, in fact, after get off work today, you wanted to hug the minister's lap, cry and say, 'I can do anything' and beg for your promotion, right!!!"

"."

When Sugiura Oitai heard this question, he opened his mouth a few times and couldn't say "Of course". It was too much and too shameful. If he answered in the affirmative, how would he behave in front of everyone in the future? ! !

"One, two, three, four, five!!!" Nagayama Naoki counted the numbers with a smile, then patted Nishi Rumi, "Nishi Rumi won this round!!!"

"Hahaha~" "Nishirumi-san is really awesome!" "It's so funny when you look at Dai Tai-san's expression!" "."

Everyone was laughing and joking, they were all very involved in this game, and they were very happy to watch it. Even Sugiura Oitai, who lost the game, couldn't help but laugh~

But after a while, Qiu Yuanyasu was still a bit stubborn:

"Naoki-san, there is a flaw in this game. If you meet a very thick-skinned person, like me, then I will definitely be the winner in the end!"

"Haha, Akimoto-san, don't overestimate the thickness of your face!" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Your face is not as thick as you think!! Most people don't know that they are actually very easy to break. Defensive!”

"Hahaha, how is that possible! I must be fine!"

Akimoto Yasushi is full of confidence. The fat on his face has added more than an inch of thickness to his face. Who can break my defense? ! nonexistent!

After hearing Akimoto Yasushi's heroic words, everyone immediately started making noises and asked Akimoto Yasushi to be the next contestant. Akimoto Yasushi didn't care, but said:

"Naoki-san has a lot of experience playing this game, so let Naoki-san be my opponent!!!"

"Me?" Nagayama Naoki waved his hands repeatedly, "If I come on stage, I'll bully others!"

"Silly tape, I will definitely break the defense!" Yasushi Akimoto pulled Naoki Nagayama to the opposite side, "No matter what you say, I will say 'of course' without changing my expression!"

"It's better not to accept it. You are not experienced yet." Nagayama Naoki still declined politely.

"Haha, Naoki-san is afraid, right?" Akimoto Yasushi laughed.

However, Otasu Sugiura also wanted to see Nagayama Naoki's jokes at this time, so amidst the noise of the crowd, he just went along with the flow:

"That's it, Naoki-san, let's give it a try. Give Akimoto-san some challenges! I'll be the referee!"

He looked at Yasushi Akimoto, who looked proud and confident, and then glanced at Naoki Nagayama, who was a little embarrassed.

"Let Naoki-san come first!"

"Isn't this bad~"

If I came first, there would be no chance over there!

Akimoto Yasu raised his chin: "It doesn't matter, just Naoki-san come first, I will be fine!"

"this"

Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Naoki Nagayama had to start preparing to ask questions.

He looked at the fat face of Yasushi Akimoto who looked unconcerned:

"Akimoto-san"

"Nani?" Yasushi Akimoto's eyes were firm. No matter what Naoki Nagayama said, he would answer "Of course"!

Nagayama Naoki gave a sympathetic look and opened his mouth slightly:

"Your ding-ding only has an inch, right?!"

"Dang???" Qiu Yuanyasu said half of the words in his mouth, and he immediately realized something was wrong!

What else can Naoki Nagayama say? ! !

He is saying that my ding-ding is only one inch! ! ! That’s three centimeters! ! !

What is this? !

Everyone present fell silent and looked at Yasushi Akimoto subconsciously. For men, such a question is more social than social death! ! !

So, can Akimoto Yasu admit it without changing his face? ! It’s really exciting! ! !

In the eyes of everyone, Qiu Yuanyasu's face turned from white to red, and then from red to green. He opened and closed his mouth several times. The sentence "Of course" was on his lips, but he couldn't say it!

If he admits it now, he will have the nickname "One-Inch Man" tomorrow! ! !

Others don't care whether he is playing games or not!

"One, two, three." Under Nagayama Naoki's reminder, Sugiura Otaishi still remembered the responsibility of the referee, "Akimoto-san, if you don't say anything, you will admit defeat!"

"." Qiu Yuanyasu's lips twitched.

"Five!!! Naoki-san wins this round!!" Otasu Sugiura finally announced!

"Hahaha!" "Sure enough, the defense was broken in no time!" "This is really difficult!" "I won't admit it either!" "."

Everyone laughed again, and everyone felt that this game was so interesting! !
