Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 1020 Chapter 1029. Men always go crazy for a few days in a month!

Akina felt that her husband was acting a little strange after getting up today.

He would say to himself who helped him to arrange his hair, match his clothes, and smooth his clothes, "Sometimes when you care too much about other people's feelings, you forget yourself, Akina, do you know that?"

Then, before going downstairs for breakfast, I looked at the cherry blossoms falling in the yard, pulled the dog's ears, which had a mouth full of petals, and said:

"Just because you like a flower doesn't mean you have to pick it!"

"I like the wind. Should I ask it to stop and let me smell it?"

"I like clouds. Should I let the clouds float down and hug me?"

"I like the sea, but do I have to jump into it?!"

"Yingtaro, you are already a mature dog, you must learn to control your desires!"

"."

Mrs. Nonaka Mari brought breakfast to the table, glanced at Naoyama Naoki with a strange look, and asked Nakamori Akina who was setting the table:

"Akina-chan, what happened to Naoki-san?"

"." Mingcai didn't know how to explain it, so she turned around and looked at him with a surprised look, "Men, there are always a few days a month when they go crazy!"

"."

What does this mean? Is this some new meme or buzzword?! Why haven't I seen it on TV?!

Mari Nonaka shook her head, as if she felt that she was out of date. She thought this was some special behavior pattern of young people today that she did not understand.

Naoki Nagayama dreamed of a movie last night called "Across the World", an action comedy starring Leslie Cheung, Chow Yun-fat and Cherie Chung.

This is not the first time I have recalled Hong Kong movies. I have previously recalled "A Chinese Odyssey" and its theme song "Love of a Lifetime"~

However, that movie is not suitable for remake because of its overly nonsensical style.

The movie "Along the Way" is a true commercial blockbuster, combining such pleasing elements as action, gunfights, comedy, art theft, etc. Moreover, many of the scenes are set in foreign countries such as Paris and Italy, so the Westernized neon lights are not awkward to accept.

The charming beauty Cherie Chung in the film and Leslie Cheung’s graceful turn and wave goodbye at the end were even more impressive!

And the original theme song of the movie is "The Wind Continues to Blow" by Yamaguchi Baihui~

"So do you want to take a photo or do you want to take it yourself?"

The movie "The Tangled Matter of Naoki Nagayama" is a completely commercial film, without much connotation or deep meaning. It is somewhat unworthy of his current status.

As the third director in Japan to win the Palme d'Or and who has won several Blue Ribbon and Academy Awards, Naoki Nagayama can be said to have been put on a pedestal.

He is currently filming "Tokyo Love Story", after all, it is a TV series and it is adapted from his own novel, so it is difficult for others to say anything.

But if a new movie is to be made, the entire film industry will surely pay attention!

If we make an ordinary commercial movie simply to make money and cater to the audience's preferences, the brand will be ruined!

"Naoki-san?"

Mingcai couldn't help but ask curiously,

"What's wrong? Why have you been acting so mysterious since this morning? And you didn't even eat properly?"

"Hmm," Naoki Nagayama shook his head, "I just had some sudden inspiration and I'm thinking about whether to write it into a movie script."

“Any new ideas?”

Mingcai was obviously excited. Her husband's flash of inspiration had become a legend in her eyes! Every time someone learned about it, they couldn't believe it!

"Um"

Naoki Nagayama talked a little about the plot of "Along the Seas", which made Akina very excited. After all, "Kaito Kid" had not yet come out in that era, and art thieves and the like were very novel.

"When will Naoki-san be filming?! I really want to see it!"

After listening to it, Mingcai asked directly.

"Forehead"

Naoki Nagayama was stunned. He was originally thinking about whether to take the photo, but now he saw Akina's bright eyes.

“Maybe we’ll have to wait until the second half of the year.”

"Eh~~~"

"Just make it a year-end Lunar New Year film. It happens to be a comedy!"

It’s decided. My wife wants to see it. Who cares what others say?

Tokyo has entered the cherry blossom season.

The occasional sight of trees covered in flowers on the road is a delight to the eyes, and cherry blossom viewing spots such as Ueno Park and Imperial Garden are even more beautiful with falling petals.

At this time of year, the whole city seems to be immersed in the atmosphere of love, and even the TV stations are no exception.

Fuji TV's "Night Hit" studio has been decorated with a moving pink cherry blossom season theme, and the planning of the entire program is also strongly related to the season.

"It's the annual cherry blossom season again~"

The host, Yoshimura Mari, said with emotion,

“It reminds me of my youth~”

The male host next to him also echoed and said:

"Yeah, I heard the song "Sakura Sakura Meet You" again~"

"Then let's start today with Kashiwahara Yoshie~"

As the original singer, Kashiwahara Yoshie probably didn't expect at the time that she would become popular again every year because of this song. It can even be said that her idol career will be long-lasting because of this song.

After all, Naoki Nagayama had just entered the entertainment industry at that time, and not only himself, but also other agencies and record companies did not have enough understanding of the songs he wrote, so Kashiwahara Yoshie was able to get a big opportunity.

For example, "Snow Flower", which becomes popular again every year, was given by Naoki Nagayama to his lover Akina Nakamori.

"Sakura Sakura wants to see you"

Kashiwahara Yoshie walked onto the stage amid applause and sang a brisk and familiar melody.

Outside the studio, Sugiura Daiyasu was chatting with Nishi Rumi.

Xi Rumi sighed:

"Naoki-san has quietly become a shareholder of Fuji TV. Shouldn't we call him the boss from now on?"

Sugiura Daitai shook his head:

"Let's just call him Naoki-san."

"But speaking of which, Naoki-san hasn't been to the TV station for a long time."

"They are filming Tokyo Love Story, right?" Sai Rumi said, "It should be released soon. I have listened to the song Sudden Love many times."

“Yeah, it’s a good song indeed.”

"I heard that Kanako Higuchi will have a role in the new TV series."

"Could it be a rekindled love?"

The people in the office started gossiping, but there was no end to it, and they ended up talking about Naoki Nagayama's gossip.

"Alas, it feels like the entire entertainment industry has become much more boring without Naoki Nagayama, Akina Nakamori, and Seiko Matsuda"

"Aren't there Yukiko Okada and Shizuka Kudo taking over?"

Sugiura Daita said,

"There are a lot of news about them! There are gossips about Toshihiko Tahara and the Shonentai."

"But I always feel that it's not as popular as Naoki-san."

There's no way around it. Back then, Naoki Nagayama's news headlines were really the ceiling of popularity, especially when he and Akina Nakamori officially announced their relationship, the entire entertainment industry's newspaper headlines were reporting it.

Seiko Matsuda is actually a little special because after getting married last year, everyone thought she would retire, but news about her still pops up from time to time in the entire entertainment industry.

For example, there are photos of her honeymoon in Hawaii. After returning, she was interviewed by a magazine and was occasionally photographed attending parties. Unlike Akina Nakamori, she almost retired after getting married and she is rarely photographed.

More importantly, at the beginning of this year, Seiko Matsuda also announced that she was pregnant.

Everyone is saying that Seiko Matsuda and Akina Nakamori are really competing for everything. You got married earlier than me, and I want to have a baby earlier than you~

Of course, these are all speculations from the media. Akina Nakamori has no such idea at all.

In fact, after learning the news that Seiko Matsuda was pregnant, Akina Nakamori was happy for quite a long time.

"Sei-ko-san said," Xi Rumi said, "it seems that he is thinking of making a comeback this year."

"Eh? According to the due date, isn't it at the end of the year?"

"Well, it's hype~" Nishi Rumi continued, "Didn't Sunny Agency lose Yukiko Okada? The agency has no successor. So."

This year, the agency originally planned to have Yukiko Okada replace Seiko Matsuda, but unexpectedly, it was snatched away by Kenon.

Unlike Yamaguchi Momoe, Matsuda Seiko has never thought of retiring completely, so her relationship with the agency is still very good. Seeing that Matsuda Seiko's popularity is still very high, the agency has arranged a comeback plan.

At least the pregnancy can attract a lot of attention.

While the two were chatting, Akimoto Yasushi came over:

"Da Tai Sang, Xirumi Sang."

"Akimoto-san"

The two looked at the fat Yasushi Akimoto with complicated expressions, because today was Yasushi Akimoto's last day at Fuji TV. Yasushi Akimoto changed jobs!

As the original backbone of the first production team, they collaborated on many variety shows. "Twilight Meow" even caused a sensation in the entire entertainment industry. Later, dating variety shows such as "Love Journey" were even more distinctive and had good ratings.

But unexpectedly, since last year, Akimoto Yasushi has begun to seek to become a solo program producer.

After failing at Fuji TV, he surrendered to his former employer, TBS.

"What are we talking about anymore?"

Akimoto Yasushi had a smile on his face.

"We were talking about the news that Seiko Matsuda was pregnant."

Nishi Rumi also responded with a smile. Although they were no longer on the same TV station, the Japanese entertainment industry was not big. After all, they were still in the same circle, so there were opportunities for cooperation in the future.

"Ah, Shengzi-san." Akimoto Yasushi smacked his lips, knowing that there must be someone behind this news, "What an ambitious woman!"

"."

The two men looked at each other with some strangeness, because Akimoto Yasushi was the ambitious guy.

"Well~" Akimoto Yasushi changed the subject and held out his hand, "Da Tai-san, I'm about to go to TBS. Let's have a chance to work together again in the future!"

Sugiura Daitai did not turn him away, he also extended his hand and shook it, then he was quite curious:

"Akimoto-san, when will the variety show you planned start airing?"

"The stage has been set up, and we're ready to start recording!" said Akimoto Yasushi. "We've invited Akashiya Sanma to be the host, and Yoshimoto Kogyo will also be paired with a few veteran comedians, as well as other idols in the industry as guests. For the first episode, we've invited the most popular male and female idols."

We all know that for such comedy variety shows, in addition to the backbone, the most important thing is exposure and popularity, so the top idols in the industry are indispensable.

Next, Akimoto Yasushi wants to divide the guests into permanent guests and guest guests according to their popularity. If this variety show becomes popular among the people, it may become a benchmark program that the entire entertainment industry wants to be on, just like "Music Station"!

"Besides the 'Of course' game, what other sessions are there?"

Sugiura Daiyasu asked curiously.

"Haha, that's the point!"

Akimoto Yasushi began to look proud. He had put a lot of effort into planning the program.

"We plan to select based on popular topics in the entertainment industry and plan different activities every week. For the first few episodes, there are competitive games such as guessing lyrics, drawing on the back to pass the guessing words, singing karaoke in any situation, lying under the most advanced lie detector, etc."

Some of these games are played by ordinary people in their leisure time, while others are specially planned based on current popular topics. The games themselves may not seem out of the ordinary, but it is very interesting to watch the intrigues of the guests when they play.

Especially when being punished!

"When I punish the guests, I will make them regret it hehe~"

At this moment, Akimoto Yasushi is like a villain behind the scenes~

But at this time, Xi Rumi suddenly interrupted:

"Then we must take those under Shuyou, like Kudo Shizuka, Aoyama Chikako and the others?"

"Of course, but initially there was only one Kudo Shizuka, who was more lively."

"Hmm," Xi Rumi's voice suddenly became quieter, "As for Shuyou, are you still not going to cooperate with 'Maqi'?"

"."

Hearing this, Sugiura Daiyasu and Akimoto Yasushi looked at each other, and then Akimoto Yasushi nodded:

"Yes, it's already known to everyone in the entertainment industry that the idols under Shuyou still won't work with that person!"

"Naoki-san is actually a bit petty~"

"Yeah, don't offend him!"

It's no secret that "Music Station" planned by Naoki Nagayama does not allow anyone from Johnny's to go on stage.

Many people also found out the conflict between Naoki Nagayama and that guy. Everyone knew about it and thought it was because Kondo snatched Naoki Nagayama's advertisement when he just debuted and then they became enemies afterwards.

Although Naoki Nagayama did not issue an order within the tree friends group not to perform on the same stage with that guy, the order was passed down from top to bottom, and no one else dared to go against the big boss.

Gradually, an "unspoken rule" was formed that the idols under Shuyou and Kondo Masahiko were on different platforms.

With more and more idols becoming more and more popular under Shuyou, this "choose one or the other" phenomenon has caused Kondo to have less and less exposure. He has already fallen out of the level of first-tier idols and is about to lose his second-tier status.

Although Mary from Johnny's Office wanted to protest, Shuyou was not against Johnny's Office itself after all. Nagayama Naoki had a good relationship with the Shonentai and Tahara Toshihiko, so there was nothing they could do about their personal grudges.

After all, Kondo is just a commodity and a toy, and it is not worth it to conflict with the already thriving tree friends for him.

Akimoto Yasushi did not talk much about this aspect, but instead said to Sugiura Daiyasu and Nishi Rumi:

"Speaking of which, next time I see Naoki-san, I want to have a drink with him. It's been a while since we've been together."

Sugiura Daiyasu nodded:

"Naoki-san should come to discuss the broadcast of Tokyo Love Story soon. I will let you know then."

"Ha, Tokyo Love Story!"

Akimoto Yasushi laughed. He had already finished reading the novel.

“I’m really looking forward to what the photo will look like!”

"Naoki-san's works never disappoint!"

"That's right!"
