Chapter 1046 1055, Still can’t escape the shadow of Naoki Nagayama!
After Fuji's "Tokyo Love Story" ended, the subsequent TV series failed to meet the audience's expectations.
Other variety shows and the like are not fresh at all, forcing people to switch channels and look for other alternatives.
And at this time, TBS TV station firmly caught this wave of traffic, and its novel outdoor competitive reality show instantly attracted these audiences.
Yasushi Akimoto can be said to be in great form recently. The interesting interactions among the guests, novel games, and innovative formats in his "Fighting People" have made the audience very enjoyable to watch. The ratings have been soaring, and the broadcast time has also been moved from the original evening slot to the prime time!
This variety show already has the momentum of a pioneering work, and it seems that as long as the permanent guests are maintained and their presence is maintained, coupled with the rotation of other guests, the popularity of the show can be maintained.
"Akimoto-san~" "Producer Akimoto!" "Good job, Akimoto-kun!"
In the TBS club, all the TV station staff that Akimoto Yasushi met greeted him enthusiastically. Even his boss patted him on the shoulder and praised him, inviting him to have a drink after get off work.
This situation is a bit like the treatment their production team received at Fuji TV when "Twilight Meow" became a hit, but at that time, there were Daiya Sugiura and Rumi Nishi sharing the honor with him, and there was also the shadow of Naoki Nagayama looming behind him.
And now, all these praises and smiles are for him alone!
"I said I have this ability!!!"
Akimoto Yasushi had a smile on his face. Actually, he was a very proud person, otherwise he would not have thought that what he wrote was better than what the TV station wrote when he was in college, and then wrote the script for the TV station.
It was only after I met Naoki Nagayama a few years ago that I suddenly realized that there was a huge mountain in front of me. Naoki Nagayama’s talent was so high that I could only admire him.
But now, he feels that he is back to normal:
“Even if it’s Naoki-san, it’s impossible to make a variety show more interesting than “Fighting People”!”
"Naoki-san, I have stepped out of your shadow!"
"I will definitely surpass you in the future!"
As for the "Of course" game at the beginning, it hasn't been played yet!
"Mr. Akimoto" an administrative staff member came to his office to inform him, "Director Kotaro Ogata wants to see you now"
"Oh? Master?"
Akimoto Yasushi was a little surprised. He was not familiar with the director and thought something big had happened on the show.
"Hi, I'll be right there"
After walking into Kotaro Ogata's office, Akimoto Yasushi found that the director was talking to someone on the phone. When he saw him coming, he did not hang up and motioned for him to wait a moment.
While waiting, Yasushi Akimoto heard words such as "broadcasting rights" and "international film festival" before finally hanging up the phone.
"Akimoto-kun"
"Hi, Master."
Akimoto Yasushi asked respectfully,
"Did something happen to Fighting People?"
"Oh, no."
Ogata Koutarou was stunned for a moment and shook his head.
Although this program is very popular, TBS has been in this position for decades and has experienced too many popular programs. This is just one of them and does not require him to pay too much attention.
"You did a great job on the show, keep up the good work~" Ogata Kotaro praised him a little, "But I didn't call you here this time for the show."
"??"
Seeing Akimoto Yasushi's puzzled look, Ogata Kotaro did not hide anything and asked directly:
"I heard that when Akimoto Yasushi was at Fuji TV, he and others in the production department set up the office of Twilight Meow."
"Hi!" There was nothing to hide about this, "I, Sugiura Daiyasu, and Nishi Rumi were the first members."
Ogata Kotaro was a little surprised:
"Didn't I hear there's Naoki Nagayama?"
"Um, Naoki-san didn't join." Akimoto Yasushi didn't know why he mentioned Nagayama Naoki. He still replied, "At that time, Naoki-san was considered a consultant."
"We sometimes ask for Naoki-san's opinion for reference, but we don't know whether it will be used or not."
"Ah, that's it~"
Although he didn't understand the specific identity, Ogata Kotaro's purpose was not to understand the production process of a program. He leaned forward slightly,
"In that case, Akimoto-kun and Naoki Nagayama have a pretty good relationship, right?!"
"Well, I guess so~"
Akimoto Yasushi was even more surprised. Why did the director always mention this guy Naoki Nagayama when he talked to me?
"That's good!" Ogata Koutarou nodded, "Akimoto-kun, you know the Tokyo International Film Festival, right?"
"Hi!"
"The first Tokyo International Film Festival had a huge influence both domestically and internationally. The popularity and exposure during that period can be said to be something that is rarely seen in a decade."
Ogata Kotaro sighed,
"After we broadcast it at that time, the ratings were comparable to the year-end programs such as the Red and White Songs Contest. It had a great impact on our advertising business and other revenues."
The reason why TV stations want to spend money to broadcast large-scale events such as the World Cup and the Olympics is because they have a huge audience base, which will bring in huge advertising revenue and also demonstrate the influence of the TV stations.
"But this time, the broadcasting rights were only granted to Fuji TV!"
Ogata Kotaro slammed the table angrily.
"Doesn't this mean that other TV stations are inferior to Fuji TV?"
"."
Akimoto Yasushi looked at the angry director and was confused for a moment. What does this have to do with me? !
"Master Ogata, this."
Kotaro Ogata looked at Akimoto Yasushi with seriousness in his eyes. Of course it has something to do with you!
Because when the TV station was communicating with the organizing committee of the Tokyo International Film Festival, it was discovered that the broadcasting rights had already been authorized!
It is naturally difficult to coordinate with Fuji TV, so we can only ask tree friends for help!
TBS certainly has cooperation with Shuyou, but even Yoshimura Otomo is in a difficult position when it comes to the broadcasting rights for the Tokyo International Film Festival.
Because at that time Naoki Nagayama exchanged the broadcasting rights for shares in Fuji TV, and only he could decide such a thing.
But it is very difficult to make an appointment with this guy Naoki Nagayama. There is actually no one in TBS TV station who is familiar with Naoki Nagayama!
Until someone suggested that Akimoto Yasushi might be familiar with Naoki Nagayama and might be able to pass on the message.
"So, I hope Akimoto-kun can help contact Naoki Nagayama so that we can discuss the broadcasting rights."
".It's because of Naoki-san."
Hearing this, Akimoto Yasushi felt very complicated.
"Few people know Naoki-san's private phone number. When he was at Fuji TV, it was Nishi Rumi who contacted Naoki Nagayama."
Akimoto Yasushi said it reluctantly, and wanted to turn around and say that he didn't know Naoki Nagayama, but when he saw TBS Director Kotaro Ogata's eyes start to become serious, he immediately changed his words:
"But Naoki-san and I have had a few private phone calls, so if you want to ask him out, I can give it a try."
"Then please!"
Ogata Kotaro nodded with satisfaction, and then said seriously,
"Please be sure to invite Naoki Nagayama out!"
The subtext is, if you can't make a date with Naoki Nagayama, you, Yasushi Akimoto, are of no use, you know!
TBS has popular programs every year and has no shortage of producers, but Naoki Nagayama is a once-in-a-century talent!
".Hi!"
Akimoto Yasushi was full of bitterness. He wanted to compete with Naoki Nagayama in the future! However, the TBS director he looked up to had to go through an acquaintance to invite Naoki Nagayama to a banquet.
I didn’t expect that I couldn’t escape the shadow of Naoki Nagayama even at TBS!
After a week, Naoki Nagayama did not stay at home anymore, but ran out~
After finishing the script of "Across the World" and drawing the prototypes of the characters of "Slam Dunk" at home, he decided to make some friends.
After arriving at the Shuyou Building, when I heard everyone greeting me, smiling, nodding and bowing, a strong feeling of being seen, cared for and needed came over me.
"This is probably the combination of the fourth and fifth needs of Maslow's hierarchy of needs~"
Naoki Nagayama sighed and said that this is a spiritual feeling that combines respect and self-realization. I think Li Ka-shing, who is over 90 and still working in the company, and Jackie Chan, who is over 70 and still filming on the set, both need this feeling.
"Naoki-san, why are you here?"
Outside the elevator, Naoki Nagayama ran into Yoshimura Otomo.
"Aren't you staying at home with Akina-chan?"
"You have to get some fresh air~" Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "How can a man stay at home all day long?"
Hearing this, Fangcun Dayou was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter:
"Haha, yes~ the world outside is full of fun!"
"."
It seemed that Yoshimura had misunderstood something, but Nagayama Naoki did not ask any further questions. Instead, he looked at him holding the briefcase in a strange way:
"Is Otomo-san going to a social event?"
"Yes." Yoshimura Otomo nodded, "Regarding the Tokyo International Film Festival, we still need to discuss the advertisement from Dentsu."
Large-scale events like the Tokyo International Film Festival require a lot of advertising exposure, and if you want to advertise in Japan, you can't avoid Dentsu.
Moreover, although you are the demand side, you still need to put aside your attitude as the client's boss in front of such an almost monopolistic advertiser and have a good chat about the discounts on advertising fees and other things.
"Thanks for your hard work"
Naoki Nagayama said dryly that he really didn't care much about this Tokyo International Film Festival.
"Since you're tired of staying at home, how about Naoki-san come with me?" Yoshimura Otomo thought of something, and his eyes were a little subtle. "The place we're going to is a newly opened club in Roppongi. The girls there are all very cute."
".No need~"
Although he felt itchy inside, Naoki Nagayama looked serious.
"I'm not that kind of person!"
"."
Yoshimura Otomo looked at Naoki Nagayama as if he was a hypocrite. You know much more about nightclubs than Shuichi-san and I do!
Arriving at his office, Naoki Nagayama leaned back in his leather boss chair and relaxed completely.
Sure enough, men still need their own space!
Lifting the newspaper on the table and flipping through it, Naoki Nagayama suddenly saw the latest technological product, a mobile phone that was said to be a new era in technology. It was now on sale.
This is what was later commonly known as a big mobile phone. Each one weighs more than one pound and is like a small barbell.
But in this era, it is already the latest technology.
"The big brother is out!"
Naoki Nagayama laughed. Now that Motorola's mobile phones have appeared, the development of technology will soon enter a fast lane.
“I’ll buy one later.”
When there was no SIM card, when buying a mobile phone, you had to go to the telecommunications bureau to apply for a number, services, etc., so that you could activate a mobile phone that could make calls.
Seeing the description in the newspaper that the battery life was only half an hour, Naoki Nagayama did not dislike it. Even with so many shortcomings, this kind of mobile phone is still expensive and popular.
While reading the newspaper, there was a knock on the office door and Shuichi Idou walked in.
"Naoki-san, I heard Hana-chan say you were coming downstairs."
Idou Shuichi thought Naoki Nagayama was here to ask about the animation business.
"I haven't had time to talk to the animation studio I mentioned before~"
"Ah, that's not what I'm asking." Naoki Nagayama shook his head and took out a piece of manuscript paper from his file bag. "This is the character prototype and story outline that I drew at home these days."
Shuichi Idou took over and said, "Slam Dunk?"
“Is this a sports show?”
"Um"
Naoki Nagayama nodded.
“I said before that the inspirations I gave to the animation studio were all very trivial, so this time I sorted out the story of Slam Dunk at home, and sorted out the plot and character prototypes.
Before acquiring other animation studios, I tried to draw Slam Dunk first."
Even if they acquired Kyoto Animation or Joker, it would certainly be impossible for them to start producing animated films based on their own impressions without any basis.
There will definitely be a relatively long adjustment period, and they will also need to wait until the current projects are completed, so Naoki Nagayama decided to let his animation studio draw "Slam Dunk" first.
"Naoki-mulberry"
Shuichi Ido has no objection to sports comics. Captain Tsubasa Ozora, which was serialized since 81, is already a popular national comic and is also very popular after being adapted into an anime.
Even the theatrical movie "Captain Tsubasa: Run to Tomorrow!" released two months ago also received very good box office results. Although it was only half an hour long,
"In that case, our first animation project has been decided! Slam Dunk!"
In the past, the animation industry was like a headless fly, and even after he took over, it still couldn't find a clear direction. But now, Naoki Nagayama has given a project that looks very promising.
The next step is to draw comics, publish comics, and adapt them into animation... until the final animated movie!
"Um"
Naoki Nagayama nodded, and the images of Sakuragi Hanamichi, Rukawa Kaede, Akagi Takenori, and most importantly, Akagi Haruko appeared in his mind.
I seemed to hear the lines "Next time, it will be the national competition!"
“I’ve even written the theme song, and I’m just waiting for the anime to be released!”
"Eh?!!"
Idou Shuichi was surprised, the manga hasn't even come out yet, but they've already written the theme song for the animation?!
“So advanced?!”
"Yes. 'I Want to Say I Love You Loudly' is one of them!"
Naoki Nagayama had given this song to Shizuka Kudo, and it stayed on the bulletin board for several months.
When Yitang Xiu heard the news, he seemed to feel motivated:
"Then we can't continue to be idle like this!"
