Chapter 985 Chapter 994, It's his turn to take the top position! He's such a flatterer! !
A sunny winter morning.
Yingtaro is always very punctual. After waking up his owner, he will have fun in the spacious yard, wanting to check the bones or dog food he had hidden before.
The frost that condensed in the morning had been dried up, revealing the somewhat wilted leaves underneath. The vegetation that had endured a night of cold wind now stretched out its branches and leaves to embrace the hard-earned warmth.
It's winter now, and the cherry trees in the yard have lost their leaves again, leaving only brown thin branches. In the flowerbeds, only evergreen leaves remain, not even a single flower bud.
"Akina." Naoki Nagayama stood at the window, overlooking the happy Taro in the garden downstairs, and asked his newlywed wife who was sorting clothes, "Do you think we should replace the flowers in the yard with hyacinths or cyclamen?"
"What's wrong with the flower garden now?" Mingcai brought a suit and matched it with her husband.
“There are no flowers~”
"That's the normal law of nature~" Akina changed another tie, and when she was satisfied, she motioned for Naoki to put it on, "It will bloom naturally when the spring comes next year."
"."
But there are no flowers now. Naoki Nagayama wanted to say that the flower garden is for beauty, but when he saw Akina's matter-of-fact look, he shut his mouth~
Forget it, just listen to Mingcai on this matter, she is pregnant!
"Okay, let's wear a blue patterned tie with this suit today!" Akina looked at the effect of her husband wearing it and nodded repeatedly.
She is now working less and less, and is becoming more and more devoted to the role of a wife. She is becoming more and more adept at taking care of the housework, preparing meals, and matching clothes for Naoki Nagayama to go out.
Akina also likes the feeling of taking care of Naoki Nagayama. After all, becoming a competent housewife is one of her ideals.
Today, Naoki Nagayama and Akina are going to Fuji TV to participate in the recording of a program. Since two of them are participating together, they need to match their clothes well.
This is another request to take advantage of personal connections. Originally, Naoki Nagayama and Akina were not planning to appear, but they do have a very good relationship with Fuji TV.
The breakfast is simple but nutritious.
While waiting for the driver to arrive, Naoki Nagayama flipped through the morning newspaper and marveled:
"The Japanese are all focused on the entertainment industry. This year's Chinese character of the year is 'marriage'. It's referring to our marriage to Seiko Matsuda!"
"There are other reasons as well. I heard that the marriage rate has increased a lot this year."
The two chatted from time to time and had different opinions on the same thing.
"Maybe this is the last glory. In a few years the marriage rate will definitely drop!"
"How could Naoki-san have such an idea? Isn't society thriving now?!"
"You won't get married if you are prosperous"
This year is considered the first year of the bubble. In the next five years, the economy will get better and better. The stock market and the real estate market seem to never fall. In the end, there is even the ambition to buy out New York.
In the bubble era, it was too easy to make money and a person could live a good life.
Women, who used to have a low status in Japan, have undergone a subversive transformation. Women's rights are rampant, and the idea of women's independence is widely welcomed. There is even a situation where women are superior to men.
Those who can get married are all in true love! But how can there be so much true love!
In this case, how can the marriage rate go up?
Of course, these thoughts just flashed through Naoki Nagayama's mind, and he had no intention of arguing with Akina. Such things cannot be argued to any conclusion, and only facts can prove it.
Ming Yukifusa arrived soon, and Naoki Nagayama and Akina got into the luxury car provided by Ken-On together.
"Have Fang Ze-sang's future arrangements been finalized?"
Naoki Nagayama asked, after all, Akina will basically semi-retire next year, and there won't be many jobs coming out. A gold medal agent like Akina Yukifusa can't possibly wait forever.
Ming Xingfang said while driving:
"It has not been confirmed yet, but I think I will be the new idol of Kenon."
"A new idol?"
Ming Xingfang glanced at the couple in the back seat through the rearview mirror and thought it was okay to talk about it.
"Well, Okada Yukiko and I have been in contact for a long time~"
"Did Yukiko agree?!" Akina looked over curiously. She only knew that they had contact in private before.
"almost"
Naoki Nagayama was also very curious:
"Yukiko-chan is a potential stock for Sunny Music now, how did you persuade her?"
"."
Ming Xingfang paused for a moment, then continued:
"Yukiko's contract is about to expire, but she is not yet an adult, and the guardianship is still in the hands of her parents. We went to her parents privately and put forward very good conditions."
"Oh? So easy?"
Naoki Nagayama doesn't believe it, but this should not be the biggest reason. Sunny Music will also propose new conditions. Yukiko Okada's potential has already been revealed, and the agency will not let her go easily.
"Also," Ming Xingfang also relaxed, "We heard that the president of Sunny Music seemed to have some bad rumors with Okada Yukiko and told her parents about it."
"."
Naoki Nagayama and Akina looked at each other, and both of them knew what was going on.
Because in this era, many idols debuted as minors, and the guardianship obligation after debut is the responsibility of the agency, so in order to take care of underage girls, the agency will let them live in the president's home.
Of course, this is also a kind of favor. Most of the time, this is only for the idols with the most potential. For others, they will find a dormitory to send them to.
Wait, now that I think about it, when Akina debuted, Hanami Kaku didn’t take such good care of her!!!
Akina lives in her own apartment!!!
That's right, when Akina first debuted, she wasn't that famous among the same idols. She was chubby and cute, and the sales of her debut song weren't outstanding.
Oops, seems to have found a blind spot!!!
Naoki Naoyama quickly changed his mind and continued to ask:
"Did you develop an illicit relationship with the president?"
The mature opposite sex like the president of the agency is still very attractive to underage girls, not to mention that he has absolute power over the career of the artist.
"It's hard to say," said Ming Xingfang, "but there is a sign that a sasaeng fan has seen the president of Sunny Music enter Okada Yukiko's room at night. And the internal staff have also spread gossip."
"The important thing is that the president's wife has clearly opposed Yukiko Okada continuing to live at home and wants her to move out! The news has spread widely."
"In short, we have communicated this to Yukiko Okada's family and Yukiko is under a lot of pressure right now. Sunny Music treats her as a commodity, and she can see that!"
"Whether in terms of career, spirit or emotion, she is in great pain now. She has depression and may even have suicidal tendencies."
"So transferring her citizenship at this time is also a chance for her to catch her breath. Of course, Yan Yin will pay a corresponding price."
Akina listened attentively as if she were listening to gossip. She also knew that the first one or two years after an idol's debut would be very hard, but she didn't expect that Yukiko-chan actually had suicidal tendencies.
"When will Yukiko-chan transfer here?"
"Because we still have some confirmed business, it will take until April next year. But after the New Year, Yanyin will take over, and the four months will be a transition period."
"That's good"
After learning about Yukiko Okada's transfer, Naoki Nagayama wanted to continue asking some questions, but Yama Sakurain was not far from Fuji TV, and he was almost there in the blink of an eye, so he had no time to talk about sex.
Many reporters have gathered at the entrance of Fuji TV. I don't know where they got the news from, but today Akina Nakamori and Seiko Matsuda will both come here with their families~
When the car stopped at the door, many reporters surrounded it.
"Akina-chan, are you here with Naoki Nagayama today?" "Akina-chan, how confident are you about the Record Awards?"
"How's the rehearsal for the Red and White Song Contest going?!" "."
Of course, some people also want to interview Naoki Nagayama:
"Director Nagayama, how is the production of the new movie going?" "Mr. Nagayama, what do you think about the wedding scene being exposed?" "Naoki-san, can you let Akina-chan work after marriage?" "Akina belongs to everyone, you can't hide her!"
".?"
I don't know when the strange fan got in, but he was pushed away by a group of reporters~
After Naoki Nagayama got out of the car, he walked around the back of the car and took Akina out. He had a gentle expression on his face, but he didn't say a word to maintain this coolness. He doesn't accept interviews casually!
Akina said something embarrassing to the reporters, and answered one or two questions, such as "I will do my best at the record awards."
"Regarding the leak of the photos, friends in the media circle should resist this kind of invasion of privacy. The private life of an artist is also a personal privacy. Regarding this matter, Yanyin has officially filed a lawsuit~"
"."
Such a murderous answer made the reporters a little stunned and even at a loss for a moment. They had never been confronted so directly by their idols. Usually, it was the agency that issued such statements.
You know, even big names in the entertainment industry would just avoid reporters and not answer.
Watching Akina Nakamori walk into Fuji TV, a reporter was stunned for a moment and sighed:
"After getting married, Akina-chan seems to have become much sharper." "Yeah, I've had conflicts with reporters before, but I didn't feel this way. How can I put it?" "Feeling more confident, right?!"
Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this. Although the guy who was protecting the side didn't say anything, no one ignored him!
However, some reporters were naturally dissatisfied:
"As an artist, you should have no privacy! We reporters are doing this because everyone is paying attention to it! Didn't Akina-chan get a lot of attention because of us? Why are you turning your back on us now?"
"That's right." "Ungrateful" "Wait, don't say that!"
Naoki Nagayama and Akina naturally did not pay attention to the discussion behind the scenes. After the two of them walked to Fuji TV, they were greeted by many acquaintances, leaving them no time to respond.
"Naoki-san, this way." Nishi Rumi led the way. She was the one who contacted Naoyama Naoki and the others before. "The live broadcast room of "Annual Chinese Character" is on the fifth floor."
"Is Kyoto ready?"
"Yeah, there are quite a few people at Kiyomizu Temple. The people from the Kanji Proficiency Test Association have also arrived."
Today's program is live, with the characters being written on site in Kyoto and live broadcasts via satellite relays also being broadcast simultaneously in the studio. Guests who are closely related to this year's candidate Chinese characters have been invited to be interviewed.
Of course, the most famous ones are the two couples related to the word "marriage".
"Seiko-san!" After entering the studio, Akina Nakamori called out in surprise and greeted Seiko Matsuda inside, "Long time no see!"
"Akina-chan, long time no see. The TV station also invited us."
"Shengzi Sang looks better now."
"Of course I'll look better if I don't work!"
"."
Watching the two women chatting together, whispering like good friends and laughing from time to time, Naoyama Naoki was still amazed at how quickly the girls got to know each other.
On the contrary, it is difficult for men to be so fast.
For example, now he and Kanda Masaki are just nodding acquaintances and have basically no interaction. After looking at each other, they smiled slightly awkwardly.
"Kanda-san, it's been a while since I last met you. What have you been busy with lately?"
"I'm filming a TV series," Kanda Masaki said politely, "What are you busy with recently, Nagayama-san?"
“Making a movie.”
"Smoking?"
“No, no.”
".Hehe~"
"Hehehe~"
They look like two idiots!
In fact, this is because there is a big gap in age and status between the two people, and it is just the opposite. The younger one has a higher status, so it is very embarrassing.
If they were in a private setting, the two of them could chat about their careers, married life, and complain about their wives, they would quickly become familiar with each other after some interactions, but now they have to do a live broadcast, which is too rushed.
"The abbot of Kiyomizu Temple is currently fasting, waiting to write this year's Chinese character of the year." The host talked to the camera and motioned the camera to turn to the side. "But before that, we invited guests who are closely related to this year's Chinese character of the year. Let them talk about their views on the Chinese character of the year."
"Next, please welcome Seiko Matsuda and Masaaki Kanda!"
There was warm applause in the studio
"Mr. Akina Nakamori and Mr. Naoki Nagayama!"
The applause and cheers in the studio broke through the sky.
Hearing the cheers, Seiko Matsuda's face stiffened slightly. This was a blow to her, who was very ambitious. But her expression changed immediately, revealing her signature sweet smile.
The entertainment industry is very realistic. Seiko Matsuda hasn't been in the spotlight for more than half a year, so her current popularity is naturally not as high as Akina Nakamori, who just got married and whose wedding photos were leaked and made big news!
"You two are new wives. What do you think about the Chinese character of the year, 'marriage'?" the host threw the topic to the two female idols.
"I think," Seiko Matsuda spoke first, still with a sweet smile and voice, "Marriage is the happiest and most beautiful thing in life. Everyone chose this word, which shows that everyone has the same pursuit of happiness and beauty."
She is indeed the most perfect female idol! She just said it directly according to the mainstream. And it makes people feel very sincere.
When the camera turned to Akina Nakamori, she picked up the microphone and burst into laughter before she spoke, trying to hide behind Naoki Nagayama next to her.
Naoki Nagayama raised his arms, turned around and whispered something in a funny voice. This kind of intimate feeling is something that Seiko Matsuda and Masaki Kanda next to him could never act out!
The audience also laughed.
"What's going on?" The host was also infected. "Akina-chan is so happy now! Why does she have to hide?"
"Because I felt that what I said was too childish." After adjusting herself, Akina said to the host, "I couldn't help but laugh."
"What do you think?" the host asked.
"I think people who choose 'marriage' are like children who want to see other people getting married and want to join in the fun." Akina sat up straight and said to the camera, "They are like children who want to see other people getting married and want to join in the fun."
"Joining in the fun?" The host was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "If you put it that way, it seems so."
"Ah, Seiko-chan is getting married, let's go check it out. Ah, Akina-chan is getting married too, let's go check it out and take in the good cheer. This year's annual Chinese character is 'marriage', let's go join in the fun too, hahaha~"
The host couldn't help laughing, and the studio became lively. Everyone seemed to think that the expression "joining in the fun" was very appropriate and made those who voted for marriage feel like they were taking advantage of the good fortune.
After all, it is the end of the year, and everyone hopes for more blessings and happiness.
Although it is regarded as childish behavior of a child, but what's wrong with children? Children are innocent and sincere by nature!
Who isn't a baby!!!
The atmosphere in the studio was getting better and better. The host also asked other guests about their thoughts. The other alternative Chinese characters actually also represented Japan’s important achievements this year!
Including "映" which is very related to Naoki Nagayama.
With the Palme d'Or, Tokyo International Film Festival, and other major events in the film industry, this year's film industry can be said to have achieved great development, and it has spread Japanese culture to the world!
It is definitely a milestone in time!
"Naoki-san, what do you think of the word '映'?"
Naoki Nagayama would not be so nonsensical, and said very seriously:
"The achievements made by the film industry this year are obvious to all, thanks to the strong support of the Ministry of Education. They dispatched specialists like Section Chief Yasuko Ikebo to provide guidance. Otherwise, the Tokyo International Film Festival would not have been a complete success!"
"Of course, there are also film studios such as Juyou, Kadokawa, Shochiku, Toho, and Toei, all of which have sent capable personnel."
"Especially the jury, under the leadership of Shohei Imamura."
This is a live broadcast in front of the national audience!!! The Chinese Character of the Year has attracted a lot of attention since last year, and the number of viewers is almost one-tenth of the population of Japan!
At this time, how to do face-saving projects, how to manage upwards, and how to unite comrades, Naoki Nagayama taught everyone a lesson!!!
"This guy Naoki Nagayama really deserves to be promoted!!!" Someone was learning silently in his heart, "He is so good at flattering people!!!"
