"Didn't the weather forecast say it will be sunny today? Why is the rain getting heavier and heavier?"

Nagayama Naoki stood in the eaves corridor of Yamazakura Garden, watching the fine rain falling continuously from the sky, drawing ripples in the small puddles in the yard. Looking up, the gloomy sky began in front of him,

It continues to the end of the sight, and occasionally dull thunder can be heard coming from the distance, as if there is a kind of implicit power contained in the clouds.

Reaching out to hold down the eager Yingtaro, Nagayama Naoki said in disgust: "Yingtaro, the dog that plays in the water will not have dog food to eat!"

"If I see you making the ground wet when I come back, I will use the hair on your body as a mop and mop the ground dry!"

"Woof woof!"

The dog barked pitifully twice, and Nagayama Naoki felt that he had understood, so he drove out with confidence.

Seeing the car's taillights disappear at the end of the road, Taro curled his mouth, stuck out his tongue, and immediately rushed into the yard with his head shaking, and then spun and jumped towards the small puddles... as if there was something fun inside.

The same thing...

And here, Naoki Nagayama happened to stop in front of the traffic light, watching the raindrops gather into streaks of water, sliding down the windshield, but what he was thinking about was today's two parties.

"TV Asahi is in Akasaka... isn't there a lot of delicious food there? It's a pity that I have to drink today..."

"Akina said there was an announcement on TV Asahi today, but unfortunately... I couldn't see it in the afternoon~"

"Why is the closing ceremony held in Azabu Juban at night? Shuichi-san is really stingy..."

All kinds of thoughts took turns playing in his mind during the few minutes of waiting for the traffic light. For a short time, Nagayama Naoki even forgot that he was still on the road, until the sound of the horn behind him woke him up.

It was almost 9 o'clock when he arrived at the studio, but he didn't have working hours now, so he was still very leisurely~

"Zhi Shusang, you're here~" Xing Jiahua still showed a smile, which made people feel happy early in the morning.

"Hua Jiang~ It's also very fashionable today~"

"No way~"

Kuchihana teased the little girl at the front desk, and Nagayama Naoki walked into the office easily. What was different from the past was that Yoshimura Otomo was drinking tea and reading a magazine~

"Otomo-san? Are you so relaxed today?"

"Ha, do I have to be so busy every day that I can't even lift my head?" Otomo Yoshimura said, then handed over the magazine, "Has Naoki-san seen today's magazine?"

Nagayama Naoki took the magazine: ""Film Xun Bao", I remember you came here for an interview before, right?"

As he said this, he started to look through it, and sure enough... there was a report on "Love Stops Like the Rain".

"Unexpected shooting scenes..." "Refreshing actors..." "The corporate culture shaped by Naoki Nagayama..." "Itou Shuichi and "Love"

The story that has to be told like "The Rain Stops"..."

Looking at the strange subtitles one after another, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but exclaim: "These reporters...are really brilliant!"

Fangcun Otomo also laughed: "But it is still interesting to read the article. This guy said that Naoki-san made the staff of Shuyou have clear eyes and speak... ahem... sincerely!"

Nagayama Naoki raised his eyebrows, secretly wondering if he had broken the unspoken rules of the workplace...

The concept of equality that comes with later generations, silently influenced by Naoki Nagayama, has never been too obvious in the hierarchy of Shuyu Pictures, and there is not much distinction between superiors and inferiors. Even junior employees can drink and joke with the president. This

The workplace during the Showa era was a breath of fresh air.

Coupled with the lifetime employment system, it is foreseeable that this culture will be passed down to Shuyou.

The relaxed and lively working atmosphere, coupled with the relatively low salary...are almost the same as those of Nordic companies with high benefits.

But forget it, life is only a few decades, and if you can make the people around you more relaxed, then why not do it?

The two people chatted in the office for a while, then they heard the knock on the office door, and Kawahara Takeharu walked in:

"Naoki-san, Otomo-san, the car is ready and ready to go at any time."

"Hi, please Wu Chunjun."

Yoshimura Otomo said he knew, and indicated that he would be notified when he set off. Then he said to Nagayama Naoki next to him,

"Letting Takeharu-kun help with driving also allows him to get to know more people, which will facilitate further communication in the future. Inada Masamin is now running the agency alone, and the pressure is a bit high."

Being a driver for a boss is no ordinary job these days. Even Ikuo Suho of Burning Agency worked as a driver for the mafia politician Hamada Koichi in his early years.

Generally speaking, the boss's driver is a confidant... because he not only knows the boss's various secret itineraries, but is also a helper in handling some personal affairs.

"Well, Yamin-kun hasn't seen anyone for a long time~"

As a management firm with several popular artists as well as new artists, GG Firm, now owned by Shuyou, actually has a lot to do and the various relationships it deals with are also very complicated.

After talking for a while, Naoki Nagayama looked at the time: "Otomo-san, we are having dinner at noon, right?"

"Hey, we'll be ready to go at around ten o'clock~"

........

In the headquarters building of Fuji TV, in the office of the preparation team of "Twilight Mew", Otasu Sugiura and Yasushi Akimoto are watching the first draft of the latest issue of "Twilight Mew".

On the TV screen, the contestants with neat, semi-long hair standing upright, handsomely dressed, and with some bad vibes are very eye-catching. One of them, occupying the C position, looks like a newcomer who has just joined the Kitty Club - Shizuka Kudo.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yasushi Akimoto pursed his lips, as if he was also immersed in the show.

"Akimoto-san, although such a rebellious style is very effective, it has also caused some controversy." Sugiura Oyasu chatted with Akimoto Yasu while watching.

Just like Akina Nakamori's "Shoujo A" was banned by NHK, "Twilight Meow Meow" released unsavory content with great fanfare, and coupled with its huge ratings, it will naturally arouse resistance from some conservative viewers.

"There is nothing we can do about it... if it attracts one group of people, it will definitely offend another group of people." Yasushi Akimoto already has some opinions of his own about the show, "In short, it just depends on the choice."

Otasu Sugiura sighed. As a program producer, he is not only responsible for the ratings of the program, but also checks and balances in all aspects... If we only look at the ratings, don't the producers of the TV station know how to do it?

Can it significantly increase viewership?

Why do late-night shows have such a large audience base? Isn’t it because of the hard work of the ladies?!

However, as a daytime program, Fuji TV also needs to consider its reputation!

"Choice..."

Otasu Sugiura sighed again. He had made a lot of choices these days. For example, he refused Nagayama Naoki's TV drama cooperation for Minister Takano, so he still has no shame to call Nagayama Naoki...

At this moment, Akimoto Yasu said:

"Da Taisang, the rebellious style can only last for a few months. With the frequency of one issue a day like "Dusk Meow", the audience will soon fall into aesthetic fatigue again."

"Yeah...a program like "Twilight Meow" needs a steady stream of fresh ideas!"

As he spoke, he looked at the other screenwriters in the preparation room. They all had dark circles under their eyes and looked haggard... The high-intensity creative pressure had made them overwhelmed!

"This group of D-class consumables can no longer be exploited~ It seems that we have to report to the upper management to replace a new batch..."

Silently condemning these guys to death, Sugiura Otaio looked at Yasushi Akimoto next to him. This guy still looked full of energy, and even his plump figure had not changed much...

"It's definitely not on the same level...there's still a lot of value to squeeze out."

Yasushi Akimoto didn't know what Sugiura Otaisan was thinking, and continued: "Judging from the current situation, the high ratings of "Dusk Meow Meow" will last until the end of the year at most. What are we going to do after that?"

Sugiura Da Tai subconsciously replied: "Let Naoki-san come and see if there are any new ideas..."

"..."

As soon as the words came out, the preparation room fell into silence for a while. Only the sound on the TV kept ringing. Soon, the transition song of the program "Let's Learn to Meow Together" rang again...

Unknowingly, several producers of "Twilight Meow Meow" seem to have forgotten that Naoki Nagayama is the soul of this popular show. All the main framework of the current show was set up by him in advance.

Even if he is going to be rebellious, this is the direction he proposed before...

But now Fuji TV seems to be in an awkward period with Naoki Nagayama... Who will bow first?

After a long time, Sugiura Oitai spoke:

"The "Newspeak Buzzword Awards" planned by Naoki-san was just aired last month, and the ratings are still very good."

"Yes, yes~"

Akimoto Yasushi also recalled that the program at the end of the month once again proposed several popular buzzwords... The combination of entertainment and text made this program full of life and already has a group of loyal viewers.

"Let's wait until the next time Naoki-san comes~" Sugiura Oyasu said, "Anyway, Shuyu and Fuji still have a framework agreement for cooperation~ There will be opportunities for cooperation every year for five years~"

"The "Newspeak Buzzword Award" is this year's award, right?"

“The first issue was only at the beginning of the year, so of course it’s this year’s...”

...

The building of TV Asahi is in Akasaka, which is not very close to Shuyu's studio. It takes more than half an hour to drive.

On rainy days, this time is even longer.

By the time they arrived at Moto Akasaka, the rain had stopped, but the weather was still gloomy. Among the high-rise buildings, Yoshimura Otomo took Nagayama Naoki to an office building, and then started walking towards the basement...

..

"Is this kaiseki restaurant actually in the basement?" Nagayama Naoki knew that he was here to eat kaiseki cuisine today, but he didn't expect that it was actually in the basement.

"Yes, Kaiseki Tsujiru, you didn't expect it~"

Go down the narrow stairs, turn around a corner with a small pool, and you will see a small traditional wooden sliding door. Except for the wooden sign "Tsujidome" hanging in the corner, it is completely invisible from other aspects.
