...

Time is like fine sand between your fingers, no matter how hard you hold it, it will slowly flow away.

When I opened my eyes, June arrived unexpectedly in Tokyo.

However, the continuous drizzle still fell from the sky, and the originally bustling city of Tokyo seemed to have been pushed to 0.5 times the speed, and the noise of traffic on the roads was reduced by more than half.

Under the dim skylight, the steel and concrete returned to their original gray color, and the originally turbulent crowds became sparse and quiet, as if this was their original appearance.

I tend to get depressed on rainy days, so Naoki Nagayama chose to listen to Michael Jackson's album while driving. "Thriller", released at the end of last year, has been a hit all year long and won 8 Grammy Awards at the beginning of this year.

The strong rhythm reverberated in the car, Naoki Nagayama was keeping the beat with his hands, and his mood was quite high. On the passenger seat, there was a document bag, which contained the plan for "Music Station" (which will never be revised in the end)

).

"Naoki-san, good morning!"

When Naoki Nagayama came to the studio, he was naturally welcomed by the little sister Xing Jiahua at the front desk, and then the employees said hello one by one~

With nods and occasional replies, he arrived at the office.

"Naoki-san, you're here~" Yoshimura Otomo said calmly, the report in his hand didn't even tremble.

"Well, come and bring this proposal to Otomo-san." Nagayama Naoki handed the document bag in his hand to Yoshimura Otomo, "I was delayed yesterday because of something~"

"Is something wrong?" Fangcun Dayou took the document list and said casually, "Did you go shopping with a confidante?"

"Huh? How do you know, Otomo-san?!" Nagayama Naoki was startled, "Is there another paparazzi who sent candid photos to Shuyou Films? Do you want hush money?"

"...."

Yoshimura Otomo was speechless. It's true! Naoki-san, you actually delayed your important business cooperation time because of a woman. You are really...

Turning around and thinking of Nagayama Naoki's character, Yoshimura Otomo sighed. This is indeed Naoki-san's style...

"Naoki-san, may I ask, is this Ms. Akina?" Otomo Yoshimura looked up at Naoki Nagayama. Several high-level officials knew about his relationship with Akina Nakamori.

"Hi!"

After getting a clear answer, Yoshimura Otomo did not open the document bag to read the plan, but said to Naoki Nagayama seriously:

"Naoki-san, if intimate photos of you and Akina Nakamori are taken, the paparazzi will not come to ask for hush money. You should understand this, right?"

Nagayama Naoki nodded: "I understand this~"

The paparazzi don’t want hush money, so of course it’s more profitable to sell it to other media! In fact, this has little to do with Nagayama Naoki. His scandals are no longer valuable, and the main reason is his other half Akina Nakamori.

As the top idol after Yamaguchi Momoe, she is currently competing with another top idol, Seiko Matsuda, for the title of No. 1 female idol.

With her huge fame and exposure, everything Nakamori Akina says and does attracts much attention. Even though she values ​​privacy, her family has been photographed by paparazzi many times. Fortunately, they are just ordinary people and their photos will not be published in newspapers.

If it is revealed that he is dating Naoki Nagayama, then Shuyu and Kenyin will face a storm of public opinion... even Yoshimura Otomo cannot imagine.

"So, do we need to be prepared to make it public in advance?"

Yoshimura Otomo continued to ask, if a plan is made with Yanyin in advance, then it may be possible to reduce it to an acceptable level.

"About this..." Naoki Nagayama and Akina have actually discussed it, but "Although our relationship is very stable now, it's still not time to announce it."

"When the decision is made public, I will definitely make an agreement with Otomo-san in advance."

Nowadays, Akina's career is booming. Although Akina is very gentle when she's in love, her personality is actually very strong and stubborn. Her singing career is actually one of her dreams.

Perhaps you will wait until you reach the pinnacle of idol status, become famous, or face the choice between love and career before you retire and get married~

"Well, that's good~" Otomo Yoshimura got the promise he wanted, and stopped asking questions. Instead, he opened the document bag in his hand, "This is the plan for the new program..."

"Yes, yes, this is the program I have been telling you about before." Nagayama Naoki approached Yoshimura Otomo's desk and wanted to explain it to him.

"Okay, let me take a look first and then talk."

Yoshimura Otomo opened the plan book and saw Naoki Nagayama looking like he really wanted to share, so he quickly refused.

"Now that there is a plan, there is no need for Naoki-san to explain it. If the plan cannot be explained clearly, how can it be shown to the people of TV Asahi!"

"Huh?" Shouldn't it usually be done while showing PPT on stage and giving lectures to others at the same time?

"When I'm looking at the plan, if Naoki-san is bored." Otomo Yoshimura handed over another stack of reports, "It happens to be the beginning of the month. Naoki-san can help review and complete these salary tables!"

".......Forehead......."

Looking at Yoshimura Otomo who had begun to read carefully, Nagayama Naoki could only take the report and start reviewing it...

.......

On a rainy day, the crew of "Love Stops Like the Rain" were nesting on the upper floor of a two-story apartment building.

This is a very messy house with a large flat floor layout. The study, living room, bedroom, and kitchen are all in one space. The refrigerator, desk, quilt, green plants, storage boxes, etc. are all messily distributed here.

The space exudes the flavor of a bachelor....

However, what is even more impressive is the full bookcase and the books stacked in long strips here and there.

This is the home of the store manager played by Takewaki Muga.

Although he is the manager of a restaurant, he is also a book lover. When he was young, he had the ambition to write a book!

Itou Shuichi arranged the camera position in the room, and then said to Takewaki Muga:

"Takewaki-san, this scene is a scene where you catch a cold after getting wet, so remember to show your weakness when speaking your lines."

"Hi!"

Takewaki Muga reluctantly agreed. As a senior actor, he still has some acting skills, so there was no need to remind him. However, Shuichi Itou was a little excited today, so he talked a lot...

"And the guy over there who plays Takewaki-san's friend, remember, he can't act too familiar, but he can't be completely unfamiliar either..." Itou Shuichi yelled at the actor on the other side again, "

You were good friends when you were young, but you haven’t seen each other for many years...so you are the most familiar strangers, you know?"

"Hi~~~"

The supporting characters opposite could only nod.

Today Shuichi Itou was pointing at various tasks of the crew, as if nothing could go wrong.

I heard him say to everyone: "Today is the last important scene. With tonight's scene, the main scene of our movie is over, so...

Everyone must finish the film in the most perfect condition!"

"Oh~~~"

Before the director called Action, Masataka Komori walked up to Shuichi Itou:

"Xiu Yisang, if the filming is almost finished after today, then shall we have a wrapping banquet together?"

Itou Shuichi shook his head: "Forget it today, everyone will be very tired after the filming is done."

"Let's wait until tomorrow when the last few shots that need to be retouched are finished, which are almost static images, and then we can eat together."

Itou Xiu paused and said, "Call Naoki-san, Otomo-san and Sugiyama Tohihiko."

"Eh? Sugiyama-san, please call me, too?"

Masataka Komori is a bit strange. Tomohiko Sugiyama is currently the head of the distribution department, but there is still some time before the movie is released.

"Of course, while editing, we can keep up with the promotion and distribution." Itou Shuichi explained, "Let Sugiyama-san get familiar with everyone in advance, and it will be easier to communicate with everyone later."

"Hi, I understand." Komori Masataka nodded in agreement.

"Also... the next month should be all editing work." Itou Shuichi lowered his voice and whispered to Komori Masataka, "When you meet Naoki-san during this period, you should talk more

When talking about editing, it’s best to get him to agree to edit together!”

"This?" Komori Masataka opened his eyes wide, "Didn't Naoki-san say that he would try not to interfere with the movie?"

"Baga!" Itou Shuichi patted Komori Masataka on the head with hatred, "Do you want two of us to edit? This is a lot of work!"

"....Hi~"

Komori Masataka nodded aggrievedly, but he remembered that there should be other people helping with editing, so there should be enough manpower?!

.......

The theater staff set up the camera and adjusted the lighting, and then the actors began to rehearse silently in front of the camera... At this time, Kijima Kyon, who was behind a main camera, discovered

, the two actors always seem to like to face the camera sideways...

"Arno, Takewaki-san..." Kijima Kyor hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Huh?" Takewaki Muga was startled. Why did it seem like someone was calling him? He looked around subconsciously, but couldn't find the person who spoke. He shook his head, "Did you hallucinate?"

So I started to continue performing...

"Takewaki-san!"

The second obviously aggravated sound made Takewaki Muaga and the actor opposite look at the camera. Nani? When did there actually be a person behind that camera?

But thinking about it again, it seems that the person was always behind the camera, they just didn't pay attention.

"Ah..." Takewaki Muga was a little embarrassed. He just ignored this person calling him, "Camera-san...ah...no, Arnold...please ask me

What's your name? I was a little confused for a moment."

"Silly tape!" Kijima Xu didn't care, he had long been used to it, "Takewaki-san, I called you because you just turned your face to the camera in all your performances... and that guy
To be continued...
