.......

It was the morning of the next day when Naoki Nagayama saw the news in the newspaper.

"It's really amazing, I actually went there overnight..."

Looking at the underground casino in the newspaper photo, and the descriptions such as "Yamaguchi-gumi Five Tigers" between the lines, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but cheer for Hamasaki Shogo and the old man with him.

With such a big fuss, no one will think about KTV anymore~

After closing the newspaper, Naoki Nagayama drove slowly to the studio. Since he talked to Yuko Tanaka yesterday, it was time to prepare for the movie "Summer of Kikujiro".

"Naoki-san~Good morning~"

Xing Jiahua at the front desk saw Naoki Nagayama, who had not seen him for several days, and showed a bright smile.

"Morning~" Nagayama Naoki nodded, "Hana-chan, are Otomo-san and Shuichi-san here?"

"Xiu Yi-san hasn't come to the office in the past two days, only Otomo-san is here." Xing Jiahua said, reviewing the memory of the morning.

"That's it~ Then keep busy~"

Nagayama Naoki nodded and walked directly towards the office. Of course, there were continuous greetings along the way.

In the office, Yoshimura Otomo, who was alone, looked a little lonely, as if there were endless files to deal with...

"Otomo-san, are you busy so early?" Nagayama Naoki joked after opening the door, "I won't be able to keep my hair!"

"..."

For a Mediterranean person, guarding hair is one of the few obsessions. He looked at Nagayama Naoki's thick black hair and said fiercely,

"Naoki-san, believe it or not, I will pull out your hair and transplant it to my head!"

"Ugh..." Nagayama Naoki frowned and groaned, "Otomo-san, you are too cruel~"

"Hmph..." Yoshimura Otomo looked at Nagayama Naoki who walked in and asked, "Why are you here today?"

"I haven't seen Otomo-san for several days..."

"Tell the important point!"

"Um... I actually want to know about the specific project schedule of our Shuyu Pictures in the second half of the year." Nagayama Naoki quickly changed his tone and said seriously.

"Project schedule..."

Yoshimura Otomo was confused, "Didn't I sign it for you before? We are currently filming "Love Is Raining", followed by "High School 2" and "Midnight Ring 2", the release dates are July, October and

November."

"Wouldn't this be free in August and September?" Nagayama Naoki patted the table, his tone full of regret, "What a pity! It's a good opportunity to make money!"

Yoshimura Otomo's eyes turned into dead fish eyes:

"Naoki-san, there's no need to be so exaggerated... Just tell me if you have anything to do... Do you have a new idea?"

"Ahem~" Nagayama Naoki coughed strategically, "Otomo-san, isn't this the script I wrote for a movie some time ago~ I've been very free these past few months..."

"So you want to shoot it in July and release it in September?" Otomo Yoshimura added.

"Um......"

Naoki Nagayama nodded. Although adding a temporary project would disrupt the production schedule of Shuyu Pictures, the movie "Summer of Kikujiro" will definitely be very popular if it is screened just after the summer!

What's more, yesterday I made an appointment with Yuko Tanaka...

At this moment, Yoshimura Otomo seemed to suddenly remember something, took out an envelope and said, "So, Naoki-san and Tanaka Yuko were together yesterday to discuss this movie, right?"

"!!!" Nagayama Naoki was shocked, "Otomo-san! How did you know that Yuko-san and I were together?!"

"Of course the paparazzi caught it!"

Yoshimura Otomo handed over the envelope, which contained several photos of Naoki Nagayama and Yuko Tanaka shopping in Ginza.

Nagayama Naoki patted his head... I was careless... I have been staying at the Tree Friends Capital in Ginza for too long these days, and I have forgotten that I can't go there without makeup!

"But how come Otomo-san has these photos?"

Fangcun Otomo sighed: "If you deal with the media more, you will find...these paparazzi reporters are the same as other migrant workers...they are just making a living.

"

"There are so many scandals about Naoki-san, it doesn't attract much attention anymore! It's worthless! It's better to come directly to the door in exchange for some hush money..."

Naoki Nagayama was inexplicably a little angry. What does it mean to not pay attention to because of too many scandals...

Yoshimura Otomo went on to say: "Actually, Naoki-san is doing okay...the negative news is just scandals at most. This year, we just dealt with the negative news about other artists in the agency. We spent a lot of money to suppress the news."

A sum of money..."

"The negative aspects of other artists?" Naoki Nagayama really didn't pay much attention to these, "What are they?"

Yoshimura Otomo glanced at Naoki Nagayama. Originally, he and Shuichi-san had made up their minds that they would not talk to him about these complicated things. They wanted Naoki-san to make movies with peace of mind. All other tricks in the entertainment industry were used.

Just let him block it~

But now that I’m asking...

"For example, Yutaka Ozaki's drinking problem... Yuki Saito has a boyfriend... The three Maoyan sisters went to a nightclub to have fun... Chiko Aoyama was photographed drinking~

"

"?!" Nagayama Naoki didn't expect that his own idol would have so many problems?

"These are actually small things, but they are still very troublesome to deal with." Fangcun Otomo sighed, "Fortunately, the relationship between Shuyou and the media has been handled very well for so long..."

Nagayama Naoki just came back to his senses from the revelation just now: "Why didn't you hear the negative things about Junko Ito?"

"Ah... Speaking of which, although Ito Junko is our first idol, she is indeed the one who has developed the most steadily." Yoshimura Otomo laughed, "Although the latter few songs are not given by Naoki-san.

Even though he is so outstanding, he also made it into the top 50 of the Oricon list..."

"For now, releasing new songs, holding concerts, participating in announcements, variety shows... Junko-chan is already a mature idol artist!"

Nagayama Naoki asked in surprise: "Is this really the case?"

"It's not too busy, but it's not very free either. Junko-chan doesn't have that many ideas..." Otomo Yoshimura said, "But several other artists, especially female artists, don't have any big projects this year.

The popularity will inevitably decline, and we can only rely on negative news to gain exposure."

Junko Ito is like the most standard idol in the entertainment industry, like a perfect doll.

Speaking of which, Yutaka Ozaki, Yuki Saito, and Tomoko Aoyama are all known for being controversial in their memories. Perhaps such talents seem to be truly alive, which is why they are so impressive.

However, it would be too miserable to be reduced to using negative support for exposure.

.......

"Since they all seem to be very idle, let's let them participate in future movies!" Naoki Nagayama said.

"Um... But in "High School 2" and "Midnight Ring 2", there are basically no female idol roles... There is no point in making a cameo." Yoshimura Otomo said, "As for Ozaki Yutaka, let him

It would be a pity to have to fight..."

"Well...let me think about it~"

Naoki Nagayama thought about it, and suddenly an idea came to his mind: "Otomo-san, if you want to say that there are many roles, TV dramas should be called many roles! And the exposure period is very long, at least several months!

Don’t we store the scripts of two TV series? Why not let them make TV series!”

Yoshimura Otomo thought for a moment: "Naoki-san is talking about..."Century of Love" and "Tokyo Love Story"?"

"Let's do "Century of Love"! The emotional lines are more complicated! There are more characters..." Naoki Nagayama still doesn't want to film "Tokyo Love Story" like this.

"That's it...then let me take a look at the schedules of each of the idols."

Yoshimura Otomo took out a thick notepad and recorded the various schedules of his artists on a table... and then compared them.

"Naoki-san... If we want to shoot, the artists will have their schedules in August."

"So, if we shoot one month in advance and shoot while broadcasting, it will be released in September." Naoki Nagayama estimated using the mode of shooting and broadcasting at the same time.

"Yes, so there may be a conflict with Naoki-san's movie."

"It doesn't matter much... If I were to shoot, I would have finished shooting in July and edited in August..." Naoki Nagayama is very confident in his shooting speed

, "When the time comes, I can shoot "Century of Love" as a break."

"this......"

Yoshimura Otomo was still very confident in Nagayama Naoki's shooting ability, and he had no objection, but he quickly thought of another question.

"Naoki-san, if we don't finish all the filming this time, there will be another problem."

"What aspect?"

"On the TV station side... we have finished filming the previous two TV dramas, and Fuji TV purchased them directly." Otomo Yoshimura said, "Generally speaking, TV dramas are led by the TV station's production bureau, and this time

If we were to film and broadcast this time, would the TV station buy it? At what price?"

"Fuji TV has such a good relationship with us, so they should be very happy!" Naoki Nagayama didn't believe it, "Besides, we still have a framework agreement!"

"The framework agreement is just a program cooperation...Purchasing TV series is a purchasing behavior..." Otomo Yoshimura said, "After all, TV stations also have ratings considerations, and the production bureau does not want outsiders to compete with them for credit...
