Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 1183 Chapter 1192, In idol dramas, appearance is the most important thing!!

In the restaurant of Yamazakurain, the nanny was completing the final steps in the kitchen. The aroma of breakfast food filled the air, making people salivate.

However, Naoki Nagayama did not focus on breakfast at this time. Instead, he put his arm around the dog and held a newspaper in the other hand.

"Hina Taro, you're famous, did you know that?"

Naoki Nagayama showed Hitaro a report on the front page of the newspaper. The title was "Akina Nakamori's shocking revelation: A few things about Naoki Nagayama and Hitaro." It mentioned what the two said on the show yesterday.

Something like sleeping in the doghouse with Yingtaro and competing for favor with Miaotaro

"You are the most beautiful dog in all of Tokyo right now!"

"."

Yingtaro was made very uncomfortable by his master, and he couldn't understand the text reports, so he could only twist his head and try to lick Naoki Nagayama to make him let go.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"Okay." Naoki Nagayama held the dog's head against his. "It seems that fame has no effect on you."

At this time, Mingcai came over holding Xiao Xiahua, and saw her husband playing with the dog, and couldn't help shaking her head. After last night's live broadcast, she knew that her cat and dog would definitely become famous, and she might also get a nickname of tigress.

Although in Japan, people prefer the gentle wife, but under the new era of feminism, it is okay to have a more personalized label, and maybe it can create a personality~

"Is Naoki-san going to the company today?"

After preparing the complementary food, Mingcai asked while feeding Xiao Xiahua.

"Well, the cast for "Departures" needs to be finalized."

Naoki Nagayama ate his breakfast in big mouthfuls, then took over the feeding task so that Akina could eat while it was still hot.

"Also, the ceremony for the establishment of the Tokyo Film Association should also be paid attention to."

After the show yesterday, I did have a drink with the director of TBS, and we talked about this matter at the table. It is already mid-to-late March, and the Tokyo Film Industry Association should indeed be established.

"Will you come back for dinner tonight?"

"It depends. I'll call."

Naoki Nagayama and Akina finished their breakfast while chatting like an old married couple who had been together for many years, and then drove towards Ikebukuro.

"Naoki-san, good morning! Hehe~"

After arriving at the Shuyou Building, Xing Jiahua at the front desk greeted Naoki Naoyama with a smile, looking shy as if she wanted to say something~

".What are you doing? It's so weird~"

Naoki Nagayama looked at her in surprise.

"If you have something to say, just say it!"

"Then I'll tell you!" Xing Jiahua said with a smile, "Naoki-san went home last night, and squeezed with Inatarou again?!"

"It's obviously Nyanotaro!" Suzuki Yukika next to him added, "Nyanotaro's nest is a little softer! Hahaha~"

"."

I was molested by my own employees so early in the morning. The boss of that Japanese company is so shameless!

Naoki Nagayama rolled his eyes helplessly:

"Just work hard and stop thinking about these weird questions! Also, I'm sleeping in bed!"

"Hi~hahaha~" X2

Not long after arriving at the office, Kyon Kimura came over, and he even brought Banyuki Nishimoto with him~

"Naoki-san," Kyon Kijima put the audition record sheet from the day before yesterday on his desk, "Shuichi-san will probably take a while to come over, but he said that the actor's matter will be decided by Naoki-san, and he has no objection."

"That's it~"

Naoki Nagayama nodded and opened the record document to read it. In addition to the male and female protagonists, there were many other characters.

However, seeing Nishimoto Banyuki coming with him, he still asked:

"Why is Nishimoto-kun here too?"

"Oh, that," Nishimoto Banyuki replied nervously, "Because after Naoki-san finishes selecting the actors, I can also select the actors for "Long Vacation"!"

"?"

Naoki Nagayama looked at the information in his hand, then looked at Banyuki Nishimoto.

"Nishimoto-kun, the requirements for the actors here are different from those for Long Vacation, right?"

"Hey, but almost all the talented and available actors in the Japanese entertainment industry are here, so I think we can pick the right person."

This is the first time that Nishimoto Banyuki has produced a TV series independently, so he wants to use the best actors. The actors who participated in the casting of Naoki Nagayama are undoubtedly the best in the market!

"Is that so?" Naoki Nagayama closed the information and said to Nishimoto Banyuki, "Since Nishimoto-kun thinks this way, I will correct it for you."

"Huh?" Both Kyon Kimura and Banyuki Nishimoto were a little surprised.

"Nishimoto-kun, what kind of TV series is Long Vacation?"

"Uh, a youth idol romance drama?"

"Right! You understand it right!" Nagayama Naoki nodded, then slapped the table, "In the so-called youth idol romance drama, acting skills are not the first priority!"

"Forehead"

Before Nishimoto Banyuki could utter his question, Naoyama Naoki had already continued!

"You two must remember that in a youth idol romance drama, the most important thing is whether the male lead is handsome or not, and whether the female lead is pretty or not!!"

In my past life, a fight in the rain with street dance, such an awkward plot can be popular for a while. Especially when the heroine yells "Stop fighting" beside, it can become a brainwashing video.

Naoki Nagayama knows that people who watch youth idol dramas actually have no pursuit of plot and acting skills!

".Forehead."

Immersed in memories, Naoki Nagayama seemed to be saying hi:

"Don't worry about his acting skills or how awkward the plot is, as long as the male and female protagonists are good-looking, the ratings won't be too low!"

"."

Kijima Kyon and Nishimoto Banyuki looked at each other, and they actually felt a sense of agreement in their hearts.

Naoki Nagayama stood up and said to Banyuki Nishimoto:

“So you shouldn’t look for the actors from Long Vacation among this bunch of talented actors!

Forget about the heroine. If we have a lot of heros, we can go to the idol circle, the model circle, or even the gigolo club to find someone who is young and handsome enough!"

".Um.Hi!" Nishimoto Banyuki nodded dazedly, "Then I'll go to Johnny's and ask first?"

"Yeah, go ahead, be generous. You are the director of Shuyou and all the agencies will give you face!"

Johnny's is the current headquarters of male idols in the entertainment industry, and there is really no escaping it~

When Naoki Nagayama and Kyon Kimura were the only ones left in the office, he returned to the business of selecting actors for "Departures". The office fell into silence for a short time.

"Kijima-kun."

Half an hour later, Naoki Nagayama took out a document and handed it over.

"As expected, the male lead should be Miura Tomokazu. There is no one more suitable than him!"

"Hi~"

Kyon Kimura was not surprised either, because during the casting process, they had seen Miura Tomokazu's performance and knew that Naoki Nagayama was very satisfied with him.

Next, let the other members of the "Departures" production committee contact Miura Tomokazu's agency directly to confirm the schedule and appearance fee.

"So the heroine?"

"Heroine~~"

Naoki Nagayama picked out the information of several actresses, including Kanako Higuchi, Mieko Harada, etc. They were all very impressive during the casting and each had unique advantages.

“It’s a bit hard to decide~”

Kyon Kimura also came closer to take a look. In fact, he felt that every one of them was good. After all, there was no bad movie produced by Naoki-san!

However, when he turned around and saw the male protagonist Miura Tomokazu in his hand, he sighed again:

"It would be perfect if Yamaguchi Momoe played the leading female role"

"Huh? You haven't given up on this idea yet?" Nagayama Naoki laughed. Kyon Kimura had said this during the casting. "I didn't expect that Kyon Kimura is also a die-hard fan of Momoe Yamaguchi~"

"I'm not a die-hard fan," Kimura waved his hand, "but people who have experienced that era always have some expectations for Yamaguchi Momoe."

"Besides, in the plot of Departures, the husband's career is not going well and he has to do a job that people don't understand. Isn't this very similar to Miura Tomokazu a few years ago?"

Because of the decline in his career after marriage, Miura Tomokazu was addicted to playing marbles for a while, regardless of his image, and was idle. He was photographed by paparazzi~

"Well, that's true~"

If I hadn't happened to meet Naoki Nagayama, I might have remained in that state in the past few years.

It was as if a good idea suddenly occurred to Kyon Kimura;

"Naoki-san, do you think we should test Yamaguchi Momoe's opinion? See if she is willing to participate?"

"Um, Baihui-san, that shouldn't be the case~"

"This is Naoki-san's movie and he and Miura Tomokazu play a couple, which has the potential to go down in film history!" Kyon Kimura seemed to be instigating, "Naoki-san, do you want to go and ask?"

"."

Naoki Nagayama looked at this guy and suddenly realized.

"You guys, do you want to meet Yamaguchi Momoe in person?! You've come all the way here to chase after her?!"

".No."

"Hehehe~"

Seeing Kijima Kyon's somewhat guilty look, Naoki Nagayama sneered and said,

"Momoe-san is tired of the entertainment industry and probably won't want to come back!"

"It's not like you'll be able to make a full comeback in the future! If you're interested, you can make a movie. If you're not interested anymore, you can just not make a movie. Anyway, Baihui-san doesn't have an agency right now."

Mudao Xu said,

"And it's just a cameo role! The heroine doesn't have many scenes anyway."

Facing Naoki Nagayama's teasing eyes, Kyon Kijima gradually stopped talking.

"Kijima-kun, you still say you're not her fan?"

"Well, I'm not too obsessed with it~"

"Forget it. Baihui-san had an agreement with the agency when she retired. If she makes a comeback, the former HORIPRO agency will definitely want her to continue to be a cash cow. It will be troublesome for her to retire at that time!"

HORIPRO certainly didn't want their cash cow to retire, but they had no choice because Yamaguchi Momoe strongly requested it.

Just like John Wick, he had retired and was doing well, but after he returned to the world, all kinds of things in the world kept coming up.

"Then sign with our Shuyou!" Kimura Kyon suddenly said, "We won't force Yamaguchi Momoe-san to continue working in the future."

Naoki Nagayama was stunned for a moment, then rolled up the document and hit Kyon on the head.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. Yamaguchi Momoe's stage name belongs to HORIPRO!"

".Isn't your name Miura Momoe now?"

"Get out!"

"."

When Kyon Kimura left the office, Nagayama Naoki half-lay in his boss's chair, and thought about what would happen to the movie "Departures" if Momoe Yamaguchi joined the cast, and what impact would this have.

First of all, the popularity will definitely explode! And Yamaguchi Baihui's acting skills are guaranteed~

Secondly, it is a great convenience for the overseas expansion of the film, because Yamaguchi Baihui is very famous throughout Asia~

Third, it may cause hostility from a number of established agencies such as HORIPRO.

However, are today's tree lovers still afraid of these old-established firms? !

"Well, the more I think about it, the more excited I am!" Nagayama Naoki shook his head, "It's a pity that Baihui-san probably won't want to return to the entertainment industry anymore."

As Kimura walked out of the office, the restlessness in his heart was not suppressed by Naoki Nagayama, but grew more and more like weeds.

Others rack their brains, but it's not as good as someone's inspiration~

Originally, they wanted to have someone notify Miura Tomokazu's agency, but Kyon Kimura was a member of the production committee of "Departures," so he called his agent and explained the situation. He then said he wanted to notify the person directly, so he got his private number.

"Moshi Moshi, is this Mr. Miura Tomokazu?"

Kyon Kimura dialed the contact number left behind.

"Hi, who are you?" The voice of Tomokazu Miura came from the microphone.

"I am Kyon Kijima of Tree Friends."

"Ah! Director Kijima." Miura Tomokazu said in surprise, "Why are you calling me?"

"Nothing. I just want to personally inform Miura-san that you have been chosen as the male lead of "Departures"!" Kimura said with a smile, "The audition that day was very impressive! Congratulations!"

"Boom Bean?!" Miura Tomokazu confirmed excitedly.

"Of course!"

"Thank you so much!" Miura Tomokazu immediately thanked, "Director Kijima, Naoki-san. Thank you so much!"

"Hahaha, this is also due to Miura-san's excellent acting skills."

Kimura Kyon and Miura Tomokazu started a conversation of gratitude on the phone. After the excitement slowly subsided, Kimura Kyon said:

"Miura-san, remember what we said during the audition, that the character image needs to be thinner?"

Miura Tomokazu immediately assured: "Hey, I will start exercising and adjusting my body, and I will definitely meet the standards when the machine starts!"

"Yeah. It must be that Miura-san was taken care of too well after his marriage, haha~"

"My wife is indeed very virtuous." Miura Tomokazu echoed.

And then Kimura began to think about it:

"Come to think of it, Mrs. Miura and the heroine of "Departures" have a high affinity. If she can play the role, it will definitely be a good fit."

"Ah, Baihui has retired."

"Oh? Yamaguchi Momoe-san has never thought about participating in a movie? Even with Miura-san?"

Kijima Kyon's tone was full of temptation.

"You know, this "Departures" is a movie shot with all of Naoki's heart and soul. It has the potential to be a big hit. Not to mention the profits, it may even win international awards! It will go down in film history."

"This Baihui-san, she has no intention of making a comeback."

Miura Tomokazu paused for a moment, but still respected his wife.

"She's tired of the entertainment industry! She's been hurt too much before."

"That's such a pity," said Kyon Kimura, "Naoki-san also said that if Baihui-san was willing to make a guest appearance, Shuyou would definitely be able to keep everything in the entertainment industry out."

"After all, isn't Naoki-san's wife, Akina Nakamori, also in the entertainment industry?"

Speaking of this, Miura Tomokazu had to admit that Naoyama Naoki protected Akina Nakamori very well.

Moreover, Naoki Nagayama does not need Akina Nakamori's help in terms of fame and fortune. Today, Akina Nakamori is still working in the entertainment industry. It is her own choice purely for her own hobbies and career ambitions!

Then

Does Yamaguchi Baihui have a career ambition? Does she like singing?

Of course!

How could someone who has reached the pinnacle of the entertainment industry, an idol, not have aspirations for his career and a love for singing? !

However, at her peak, Yamaguchi Baihui believed that she could not have both family and career, so she chose family.

Ultimately, it was Miura Tomokazu, as a husband, who failed to protect Yamaguchi Momoe from attacks in the entertainment industry and failed to support his wife in her pursuit of career and family.

"Bai Hui-san."

Miura Tomokazu wanted to say that Yamaguchi Momoe's wish was to become a housewife, but the words could not come out of his mouth.

At this time, Kimura was not idle:

"Haha, Miura-san, that's just what I said. But if Baihui-san can come and play the leading female role, then we will definitely welcome her with open arms!

Those matters in the entertainment industry and agencies are completely irrelevant, the Tree Friends Association will handle them all.

Miura-san can talk about all this with Yamaguchi Baihui-san!"

"Thank you."

Tomokazu Miura didn't know why he suddenly expressed his gratitude to his wife Yamaguchi Momoe for not agreeing to make a comeback!

"That's all for today, Sana. We look forward to Baihui-san's reply~"

"Hi~"

After hanging up the phone, Miura Tomokazu was a little stunned for a moment. Was he informing me that I got the role and he also wanted to bring Yamaguchi Momoe along?

This is not what Naoki-san would do. He also knows Momoe-san. If he wanted to invite her, he would call her directly!

So was that director Kijima's idea? Or was it the idea of ​​the production committee of "Departures"?

Various thoughts popped up in his mind, making Miura Tomokazu's head like a paste. But in the end, they settled into one question.

Should he ask Yamaguchi Momoe if she wants to participate in "Departures", which is destined to become a big hit and go down in film history?

Thinking of his wife who used to be a star in the spotlight, but now is trapped in the house, even when she goes out, she has to avoid other people's eyes.

Tomokazu Miura made a decision in his heart!
