Chapter 1193 Chapter 1202, Extra: Yamaguchi Megumi returns, what is the reason? !
Chapter 1193 Chapter 1202, Extra: Yamaguchi Baihui makes a comeback, the reason is...?!
With the sharp sound of brakes, interview cars of various models stopped in front of the Tokyo Prince Hotel.
Without even leaving the parking lot, reporters from various media got out of their cars carrying cameras, video cameras, microphones, long booms, recorders and other tools they used for interviews, and then ran towards the banquet hall of the disclosure meeting.
Even if the time has not arrived, they must occupy the most advantageous terrain in advance. Large media will generally be arranged in front by the organizer, but this is not necessarily the case for small and medium-sized media, and they can only be arranged on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you are in the front row, you can not only take photos at the closest distance, but also have the greatest chance of being selected for questions.
This is what small and medium-sized media are pursuing. Even Japan’s largest media cannot give up on this hot topic of the century!
"This time, even those big newspapers and magazines can't give in!"
However, as soon as he ran to the venue with his guns and cannons, he was stopped at the door by a group of tall and strong bodyguards:
"Sign in! Write down the media, personnel, and questions you would like to ask! You can only ask one!"
"Eh?!!"
How come it is different from past disclosures? !
The reporter from Tokyo Daily, Toshiyuki Tsuchiya, was still trying to fight for it when he heard the bodyguard say:
"There are too many people this time. If you write it down, you may still have a chance to ask questions. If you don't write it down, you will definitely have no chance!"
"."
Although Tsuchiya Toshiyuki was a little indignant, he quickly wrote down the questions he wanted to ask.
"What is the main reason for Yamaguchi Momoe-san's comeback?!"
After submitting the paper, I immediately walked towards the venue.
However, once I entered, I found that several media outlets had already gotten there first!
In front of the main background wall and the podium with the banner "Production Disclosure Meeting of "Departures", the ten interview positions in the front row have been taken. They should be from the TV station, and they have even set up a long-arm camera.
"Qi Kexiu, it turns out that the big media is faster than us. It may be that the tree friends informed them first!"
Toshiyuki Tsuchiya complained like this, but his body was still honest and he quickly occupied a seat in the second row, set up a high-definition camera and a radio, and decided not to leave his seat until the disclosure meeting was over!
As the disclosure meeting drew closer, more and more media professionals came to the venue. Under the direction of the on-site staff, they formed five circular rows around the rostrum, almost filling up the original banquet hall!
In the bustling atmosphere, everyone was quietly discussing what happened today, and some even wrote manuscripts on the spot.
At this time in the backstage lounge, Yamaguchi Momoe was having the makeup artist make the final adjustments.
Although she hasn't been under the flash light for a long time, after a little hair-do and makeup change, the charming national idol star on the stage is back!
"Naoki-san, Momoe-san, Tomokazu-san"
The host was Masataka Komori, who had to join in the fun after returning a few days ago.
"It's almost time. Let's go to the front!"
"Um"
The three of them did not flinch too much. After walking out of the lounge, they waited at the back door of the venue.
All I could hear through the crack in the door was Komori Masataka's distorted voice, but I could vaguely hear words like "Today is the production disclosure meeting for "Departures."," "I hope everyone can exercise a little restraint," and "If you disrupt order, you will be asked to leave the scene."
Then I heard:
"Now please welcome: Director Naoki Nagayama, Mr. Tomokazu Miura, and Ms. Momoe Yamaguchi!"
The door was opened, and Naoki Nagayama walked in first, followed by Tomokazu Miura and Momoe Yamaguchi.
Then Naoki Nagayama felt an explosion of flashbulbs that he had never experienced before. The endless flashbulbs seemed to have no gaps, accompanied by continuous clicking sounds, and the dazzling white light was like a high-power laser shooting directly into your eyes!
There was even a black spot in the vast white area before my eyes.
Naoki Nagayama, who could not see the road clearly, walked to the podium almost by feeling.
However, Tomokazu Miura and Momoe Yamaguchi are better. They are professionally trained artists who can still see clearly under their feet.
After we sat down on the podium, the flash lights became less frequent, and we could clearly see the reporters filling the banquet hall. Most of them were so excited when they saw Yamaguchi Momoe that it made people suspect that they were all her die-hard fans.
"Next, we will officially start today's "Departures" production disclosure meeting!"
Masataka Komori held up the microphone and said,
"Departures is the first movie of Tree Friends this year. The script was written by director Naoki Nagayama, and the film production committee was established in March."
As Masataka Komori was explaining the film project of "Departures," a reporter seemed impatient and shouted in the crowd:
"Yamaguchi Momoe-san, please tell us why you made a comeback!!!"
This statement immediately caused a commotion in the venue.
"."
Komori Masataka held his breath in his throat, and a ball of fire suddenly rose in his heart, and he shouted loudly,
"Security? Security! Get that reporter out of the scene!"
The sturdy men standing nearby separated into two groups, pushed through the media crowd and walked to the side of the reporter who had just spoken. Then one of them held the man's arm and dragged him out of the media center like a chicken.
Regardless of the reporter shouting "I am doing my job", "freedom of the press", "interviewing is not a crime".
The reporters who stayed at the scene were talking about it, and seemed to be somewhat moved by his words.
However, Masataka Komori on the stage is not an ordinary host, he is also a well-known director among tree friends, and he is very confident:
"Whoever disrupts the order hereafter will also be kicked out!"
"."
As expected, after this sentence came out, the other reporters immediately quieted down~
Tsuchiya Toshiyuki in the middle even felt a little relieved that there was one less competitor.
“The movie "Departures" focuses on a profession that is often overlooked but indispensable in daily life. It analyzes the attitude and feelings towards death in Japanese culture.”
Komori Masataka resumed his explanation and turned the topic to Naoki Nagayama.
"Now, let's welcome director Naoki Nagayama to introduce this movie to everyone."
As he said that, he handed the microphone to Naoki Nagayama and others, signaling that they could start talking~
Naoki Nagayama picked up the microphone and just as he was about to open his mouth to talk about "Departures", he saw the anxiety in the eyes of the reporters.
"Haha." He laughed twice and jokingly said to the reporters present, "I guess what everyone wants to hear most right now is not what I say about "Departures"
"." "!!" "Haha, that's right!"
The reporters were stunned for a moment, then they all laughed and some even nodded. Suddenly, a thought came to everyone's mind: "He understands me!"
"Forget it, since we are all in the media industry, I won't spoil the fun! Let's talk about what everyone is concerned about first."
Naoki Nagayama said,
"But after you finish interviewing Yamaguchi Momoe, please mention "Departures" in your report and promote my new movie!"
Then he signaled that Yamaguchi Baihui could speak~
“Hi!” “No problem!” “I will!” “Naoki-san, I love you!” “.”
Although he openly requested to promote his own movie, the reporters present were actually willing to do so and even had the urge to say good things about him. Naoki Nagayama is really one of us! He understands us!
On the other hand, Yamaguchi Momoe was a little overwhelmed by this change. Interviews in her era were very strict, and even the interview process and questions had to be reviewed in advance by the agency!
According to the order, she should be the last one to be interviewed~
Holding the microphone in her hand, Yamaguchi Baihui didn't know what to say for a moment. However, next to her was her encouraging husband and the tree friends who had previously driven away the reporters, which made her relax a little:
"Long time no see, Mina-san!"
After saying just one sentence, the flashbulbs on the scene flashed again. This was the entertainment industry saying to the former national idol, "Long time no see, welcome back!"
After a few breaths, Yamaguchi Baihui continued:
"I haven't picked up the microphone for a long time, and I don't know what to say for a while. I wanted to marry Youhe before, and then I retired willfully. This time I suddenly made a willful comeback and caused trouble for everyone.
Please give me more advice in the future!"
“Click, click, click.”
The flashes and shutter sounds were the responses from the reporters present. Since there were no microphones, no one could speak. They were also afraid that if they shouted loudly, they would be asked to leave like the previous reporters.
Amid the sound of shutter clicks, Komori Masataka took over the conversation at the right time:
"Mr. Baihui, actually everyone has a lot of questions about your comeback this time, but it is impossible to answer all of them. In order to be fair, we have collected the questions from reporters beforehand and you can personally answer them."
As he spoke, the etiquette staff brought up a lottery box, which contained small pieces of paper that had been filled in previously.
This novel form also surprised Yamaguchi Baihui, but she still drew a card from it as instructed.
"Tokyo Shimbun, Toshiyuki Tsuchiya." Komori Masataka read it out. "Please raise your hands."
Tsuchiya Toshiyuki only felt that the goddess of luck was looking after him today! ! He raised his hand with a slight tremor, and then took
The microphone handed over by the staff:
"What is the main reason for Baihui-san's comeback this time?!"
"There are actually many reasons." Yamaguchi Baihui smiled gently, "But the most important reason should be the script of "Departures"
"Because my husband Youhe chose the male lead role, I was able to read the entire script and was attracted by the characters in the script. The characters are very vivid and the plot is touching. When I think about my experiences in the past few years, I can empathize with them."
"After rehearsing a few scenes with Youhe, as an actor, I also had the idea of playing the role of the wife."
Yamaguchi Baihui glanced at Miura Tomokazu next to her:
"Youhe was very supportive and proposed the idea to Naoki-san."
"."
Yamaguchi Momoe talked about her journey to comeback and asked the reporters present to take notes quickly. For a moment, the press conference was as quiet as a classroom.
After the narration, the scene became more lively, and some reporters raised their hands and wanted to ask questions.
However, the next step is still to draw lots to answer questions!
"Toshiyasu Ozawa of the Yomiuri Shimbun."
"Ms. Baihui, after this comeback, are you fully resuming your work? Music, film, television, and other aspects."
"No, this comeback is a limited one, it's just because of the movie 'Departures'."
Yamaguchi Baihui explained,
"Unless there is a good script in the future, I will not act, release records, or hold concerts again."
"Ishihara Toshiyuki, Sankei Shimbun."
"Momoe-san, why didn't I see any news about HORIPRO during this comeback event? Did they change their membership?"
“About that.”
Yamaguchi Baihui did not hide anything and said,
"My contract with HORIPRO has already ended. Since my future promotional activities are closely related to the Shuyou Group, I signed with Shuyou."
At this time, Naoki Nagayama indicated that he had something to say:
"The IP copyright of Yamaguchi Baihui's stage name and related images has been purchased by Shuyou. Reporters can use them without worry."
"That's great." "That's reassuring~" "."
The large media outlets naturally have nothing to worry about, and the small media outlets that were originally a little worried are now relieved.
"Next up is Nakano Mitsuhiko from the Mainichi Shimbun."
"Bai Hui-san, do you have anything to say about how to balance career and family during your comeback?"
“Career and family.”
Yamaguchi Baihui smiled gently,
"I will still spend most of my energy on my family, and I have the help of my mother and my parents-in-law. I also have the support of Youhe in my career, so I don't think there will be any problems!"
"Thank you."
"."
The following interviews were conducted one after another in a very orderly manner.
Komori Masataka continued to read the paper he had pulled out:
"Mitsuhisa Harada of the Asahi Shimbun."
Mitsuhisa Harada stood up, coughed strangely, and looked at Naoki Nagayama:
"My question is for Naoki-san."
"Oh?!" Naoki Nagayama was surprised, "Haha, I thought everyone came here for Baihui-san today! I didn't expect there would be someone for me too?!"
"Okay, okay, go ahead and ask!"
"Uh" Harada Mitsuhisa looked at Naoki Nagayama and asked, "Naoki-san once said on a show that he was a fan of Yamaguchi Momoe.
Is this related to the fact that Baihui-san was chosen as the heroine this time? Are you still a fan now? ! "
"."
This question aroused the curiosity of the reporters in the field, and even Yamaguchi Baihui and Miura Tomokazu looked over with a smile.
"."
Naoki Nagayama scratched his cheek awkwardly and looked at the cameras that were supposedly broadcasting live:
"This question is a bit embarrassing. I hope my Akina is watching the live broadcast."
"Momoe-san is of course my former idol. This time I chose her as the heroine, of course this factor also played a role, but now I am a fan of Akina Nakamori!"
He turned to look at Yamaguchi Baihui:
"Bai Hui-san, private Marseille. I betrayed you a long time ago!"
"Hahaha~" Yamaguchi Baihui waved her hand and said with a smile, "It's okay."
The reporters present also laughed, and the atmosphere of the interview became relaxed and harmonious~~~
Next, the interview will naturally focus on the topic of Yamaguchi Baihui's comeback.
"Working with Miura Tomokazu again, do you want to continue the golden boy and jade girl combination?" "I haven't acted for a long time. Do you feel any psychological burden in playing such an important role this time?" "Do you have anything to say to the fans?" "."
Because of the advance greetings from the tree friends, the questions asked by the reporters present were mostly positive.
Yamaguchi Momoe found that some of the ugly questions that would appear at press conferences in the past, such as questions related to her "father" and questions related to "black material", etc., were now absent!
She didn't even raise the questions that embarrassed her, such as her relationship with the former president of the agency and her life after retirement.
This made Yamaguchi Momoe fully feel the strength of Shuyou in the media industry, and also made her full of confidence in her future comeback activities.
The endless interviews and questions lasted for more than two hours. Yamaguchi Baihui, Miura Tomokazu, and Nagayama Naoki were all asked questions. Even the slips in the lottery box were used up. In the later stage, the questions were completely asked in turn.
The original "Departures" production announcement conference completely turned into Yamaguchi Momoe's comeback announcement conference!
It was not until Masataka Komori saw Naoki Nagayama's look that he slowly ended the interview. However, this interview did allow the media reporters present to ask almost all the questions they had in mind, and no one had any objections.
"Mina-san, time is almost up. Director Naoki Nagayama will give his final speech next."
"Okay, I also hate leaders giving long speeches on stage, so let's just end the disclosure meeting now!"
Naoki Nagayama took the microphone and said directly,
"Mina-san, you have asked almost all the questions today, but please remember what I said at the beginning, promote "Departures" in the report!"
“Hi!” “Sure!” “No problem~” “.”
"Then I declare that the production disclosure meeting of "Departures" is over. Everyone go back to work on your manuscripts!"
After Naoki Nagayama finished speaking, he led Yamaguchi Momoe and Miura Tomokazu towards the backstage.
After the reporters in front of them confirmed that the event was over, they quickly packed up and left! Just like Naoki Nagayama said, they still had to go back to finish their articles! !
If we act faster, tonight's evening paper will have the explosive news of Yamaguchi Momoe's comeback on the front page!!!
No, maybe there will be a special edition!!
It's called "Extra: The main reason for Yamaguchi Momoe's comeback is..."
Every minute and every second is an advantage!
Back in the lounge, Naoki Nagayama asked the Miura couple.
"How was the comeback press conference? Was it stressful?!"
Yamaguchi Baihui shook her head:
“It feels even easier than any interview I’ve ever had.”
Miura Tomokazu also nodded:
"Yes, the reporters this time were very friendly and didn't ask any radical questions."
In their previous speculation, when Yamaguchi Momoe made a comeback, she would definitely be asked questions such as whether it was because of family financial difficulties or whether she was doing it to make money, but this time none of them were asked.
"Haha, of course we can't be too radical!"
Naoki Nagayama said with a smile,
"I have already made arrangements with the powerful people in various media groups in the past few days."
Then he looked at the two of them:
"There will be less negative news about you in the future, and the paparazzi who visit your house will disappear and no one will want the photos they take secretly!"
"Naoki-san, Todoroki ni Arigato!"
Yamaguchi Momoe sincerely thanked Nagayama Naoki. The harassment from those reporters and paparazzi was definitely a big problem for their family!
"It's nothing. Baihui-san is now Shuyou's person, so we have to protect her!"
Miura Tomokazu next to him suddenly felt a little jealous for some reason, so he said half-jokingly and half-seriously:
"Naoki-san, I'm so envious. Can I become a tree friend too?!"
"Haha, Youhe-san, you must be joking. You are Baihui-san's husband, so we are naturally a family!"
"."
Miura Tomokazu was somewhat happy, but he still had a strange feeling. "Family" only refers to work, right? !
However, Naoki Nagayama did not try to figure out Miura Tomokazu's thoughts. He continued to say to the two of them:
"It's already noon. After the afternoon's fermentation, the evening papers and prime time will be the nodes where the popularity will explode. By then, everyone should know that Baihui-san has made a comeback!"
"There may be some fluctuations during this period, so don't stay at home tonight."
"We will do an exclusive interview with several major media outlets tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
"After that, we will prepare to start the opening ceremony of "Departures"!!"
"Tomokazu-san, Momoe-san, we're about to start working! Get ready! It's very hard to shoot a movie for Shuyou!"
"Hey! We'll do our best!" X2
Tomokazu Miura and Momoe Yamaguchi are already prepared for this. Naoki Nagayama's efficiency in filming movies is as famous as his great achievements today!
It's May, everyone please give me some monthly tickets~~~
