.......

Near noon, Naoki Nagayama drove a convertible to the Tree Friends Building.

As Akina's due date gets closer, he spends more and more time at home, taking time to deal with work matters every day.

At present, the editing and screening of "Tiger of Ginza" are proceeding step by step. The Tokyo International Film Festival is also led by Yoshimura Otomo and the organizing committee, and the preparations are uneventful.

Even the latest comic business, under the leadership of Itou Shuichi, the latest episode of "Slam Dunk" has been serialized smoothly...

Now only "Neon Sound" needs his attention from time to time.

"Naoki-san~"

Xing Jiahua at the front desk was very surprised when she saw Nagayama Naoki. It was already noon.

"Why did you come here at noon today?"

"I have an appointment with Otomo-san, is he here?"

"Hi!" Xing Jiahua suddenly realized, "Turns out I'm waiting for Naoki-san... No wonder Otomo-san has been in the office all morning today... turned down a lot of social activities..."

"Forehead....."

Could it be that you have been waiting for me?!

I said before that we would just chat in the morning!

Nagayama Naoki didn't say much and immediately walked onto the elevator... If he waited any longer, Otomo-san might go crazy!

Knocking on the office door, Naoki Nagayama found that Yoshimura Otomo was not sitting behind the desk reviewing documents as usual, but sitting on the sofa making tea at the tea table...

Seeing Nagayama Naoki come in, Yoshimura Otomo said calmly:

"You're here~"

"I'm coming~"

"You're late!"

"But I'm still here!"

"As promised in the morning..."

"Hasn't it happened now~"

"..."

After a long while, Fangcun Dayou could no longer maintain a calm mind, rolled his eyes and said angrily:

"Naoki-san, do you know that I have turned down a lot of social events just to wait for you?! Preparations for the Tokyo International Film Festival, dinners with cooperative companies..."

“Hi hi hi~Private Marseille~”

Naoki Nagayama had no choice but to apologize,

"Otomo-san please have a lot of..."

Although it looked like a quarrel in the office, Yoshimura Otomo was not angry at all, he just complained.

Speaking of which, Yoshimura Otomo was even somewhat grateful to Nagayama Naoki for giving him an excuse to turn down those social events.

In those preparatory meetings, dinner parties, etc., the participating members are intrigued by each other. It takes hundreds of people to say a word, so why not just relax in the office, sip tea and enjoy life~

After a while, Nagayama Naoki also drank tea:

"Otomo-san... the program team of "Neon Sound" has already started contacting the contestants, right?"

"Well, you started contacting Fujiwara after you gave the selected players to Fujiwara... However, the players are located in various places, and it will take some time to come to Tokyo..."

Yoshimura Otomo said casually,

"Recording should finally start next Saturday...."

"Naoki-san, are you going to go during the recording?"

"Well, of course I have to keep an eye on the recording of the first season..." Naoki Nagayama said, "After all, he still has the title of producer..."

Naoki Nagayama has also reviewed other detailed work such as program hosts, venue decoration, sound tuning and video recording.

The producer of "The Sound of Neon" is Kazuhisa Fujiwara. Shuyu and NTV are joint producers. The director, screenwriter and planner are all members of the working team. Naoki Nagayama only has the title of producer.

But everyone knows who the real boss of this show is.

"Naoki-san..." Yoshimura Otomo suddenly brought up a topic, "I heard that I picked a very good contestant yesterday? And I went to the "Neon Sound" working team down below to praise me?"

"Ah... Indeed, the voice condition is very good..." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "In addition, the previous contestants of that contestant were not very good, so in comparison, he is even better!"

Naoki Nagayama continued:

"I also went to the working group and told them that the standards for the first screening must be guaranteed!"

"Ahem~ Yes, yes, the first impression must be guaranteed."

Yoshimura Otomo coughed, and the few tapes he stuffed in really didn't meet the requirements.

"But what I mean is... When you planned "The Sound of Neon", your original intention was to find singers for those songs... Now that you listen to it, are you satisfied?"

"This one~"

Although Nagayama Naoki is very satisfied with Izumi's voice, it is not yet time to make a decision directly. After all, several songs require different special preparations. Maybe he can find something like Daikoku Moki in "The Sound of Neon"

What an explosive singer~

"Let's wait until the final showdown~"

Leaning on the sofa, Naoki Nagayama held the contestant information of "The Sound of Neon" and looked at it, as if he wanted to find more rising stars from it.

"Okay~" Yoshimura Otomo took a sip of tea, "Then... Do you want to meet the mentor of the show, Naoki-san? Sawada Kenji, Yoshida Takuro, Nakajima Miyuki and Saijo Hideki...

.Inform them about the direction and standards of the program..."

"Haha, Hideki-san is already an acquaintance~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "As for the others..."

It seems that Sawada Kenji is currently having an underground affair with Tanaka Yuko. Nagayama Naoki has a good relationship with Tanaka Yuko, so it was very uncomfortable to see him.

Takuro Yoshida and Miyuki Nakajima are both singer-songwriters. Naoki Nagayama has no experience in music creation and is simply standing on the shoulders of giants.

After all, music is not like movies, where you can just pull out a lot~

"I'm not familiar with the music industry to begin with, so I'll keep it that way for the time being."

"But we always have to meet each other during recording..."

In Yoshimura Otomo's mind, Nagayama Naoki is actually arrogant and doesn't care about other musicians, so he doesn't bother to make friends with them.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "When the time comes, Naoki-san had better give him some face... and make the scene look better."

"Haha, I am such an easy person to get along with, how could I not give face to others?!"

Then why don’t you participate in so many competitions, awards, and even program invitations in the music industry?!

You must know that there are already voices in the music industry saying that "the neon music industry is not worthy of Naoki Nagayama"!

.......

While Naoki Nagayama and Otomo Yoshimura were sitting in the office chatting, a large number of reporters once again gathered at the "Literary Theater" cinema in Ikebukuro.

This cinema has become a film conference venue exclusively for tree friends... Even the lobby has been expanded to facilitate media conferences.

Kyon Kijima, Masataka Komori, Nao Saejima and other creative teams of "Tiger of Ginza"... Even Leslie Cheung and Tony Leung Ka Fai, who returned to Hong Kong a month ago, came to the scene again.

"Director Kijima, won't Naoki-san come over today?"

In the backstage room of the preparation, Leslie Cheung asked director Kyū Kijima.

"Naoki-san..." Kijima Xu sighed, "He said that if he comes to attend the media conference, everyone's attention will fall on him... and he will steal the "

"Tiger of Ginza" movie itself is in the limelight..."

Leslie Cheung did not fully understand Nagayama Naoki's fame in the neon entertainment industry and asked unexpectedly:

"How could such a thing happen? Naoki-san is not a star! Nor is he a starring role..."

Nagayama Naoki is not the director, not the starring role, and he is not even credited as the screenwriter this time. At most, he is just a member of the management company Shuyu Pictures, but he said that he is afraid that he will steal the limelight of the entire movie...

What’s even more outrageous is that Kyū Kijima still thinks what he said makes sense~

"Because he is Naoki Nagayama..." Kijima Kyor sighed again, "The man who once dominated the media headlines in the entertainment industry!"

In fact, he has been keeping a low profile this year. In the past two years, Naoki Nagayama made headlines casually...

What about "the playboy Naoki has a new prey", "director Nagayama's scandal reappeared", "in love with a big star", "a well-known writer won a grand prize!", "admitting love in public..."

Even his family background is occasionally discussed repeatedly, but he does not dare to make headlines due to pressure from the Yamaguchi-gumi~

It can be said that in the past few years, Naoki Nagayama was the guarantee of traffic and exposure, and his exposure rate was higher than that of celebrities!

"Naoki-san...."

Leslie Cheung felt that he had underestimated Nagayama Naoki again,

"What a fascinating man..."

Not long after chatting, the final reveal meeting for "Tiger of Ginza" began... The host walked up to the reporters with a microphone and said to everyone:
To be continued...
