Chapter 1194 Chapter 1203, the chapter is coming! The real chapter is coming!!
Chapter 1194 Chapter 1203, I’m back! I’m really back!!
Sure enough, starting from the afternoon, news about Yamaguchi Momoe was flying everywhere.
Even though the latest newspapers have not come out yet, some TV stations have edited the contents of the disclosure meeting and broadcast them in various programs. It turns out that TV stations are faster.
There were live radio programs, word of mouth, and everyone was talking about it:
"Yamaguchi Momoe is back!!!"
Of course, there are questions like why is he making a comeback? Is it a full comeback?
Then all kinds of speculations came out. Some people said that Yamaguchi Baihui's family had no money, some people said that Yamaguchi Baihui was attracted by the script, and some people said that Yamaguchi Baihui was targeted by Naoki Nagayama and had to make a comeback under his coercion.
Then they analyzed the specific means of coercion with evidence, such as temptation with money, threats with family members, etc. Anyway, they are basically inseparable from the factor of "Mrs. Miura, you don't want your husband to lose this role, do you?"
It can only be said that the Japanese people's thinking in film and television works is closely related to their daily lives~
Record stores responded quickly and began to put up Yamaguchi Momoe's records and play her nostalgic songs; second-hand stores urgently gathered Yamaguchi Momoe's peripherals and raised the prices by 100%; and movie theaters also contacted relevant parties and began to prepare to re-screen Yamaguchi Momoe's old movies.
In a very short time, elements of Yamaguchi Momoe once again permeated people's lives, as if she had never left.
As for the entertainment industry, let alone the people at HORIPRO who were both surprised and angry, other agencies were considering whether to take advantage of this opportunity to rekindle a wave of nostalgia and re-dig out old idols. Some were also planning a big reunion of the "70th Flower Group" or something like that.
But for idols in the same field, it felt like the sky was falling!
Oh my god, the ancient god has resurrected and is competing with me for resources!!!
The idol world is already very competitive. If Akina Nakamori, who is currently at the top, and Shizuka Kudo and Yukiko Okada are a little better, then the second and third tier idols are the most worried.
The few people at the top all have their own style characteristics, but many second- and third-tier idols are still using Yamaguchi Momoe's image to attract fans!
In this case, who would want to watch these imitators when the original is here? !
In the evening, when the evening editions of media newspapers came out, the popularity of Yamaguchi Momoe's comeback reached its peak!
Every migrant worker who went home brought a copy of the evening paper or the special edition, and shared it with family and friends after arriving home.
"Is Yamaguchi Momoe going to team up with Miura Tomokazu again? The golden boy and jade girl combination is online again!"
"I've been waiting for Baihui-san to come back for so long!"
"Oh? Nagayama Naoki was once a fan of Yamaguchi Momoe?!"
"."
Among the many people discussing the matter, an elderly woman who lived with her family also saw the news.
She is the hostess of the Makino family where Naoki Nagayama once rented a house, Mrs. Makino. She is also the person who knows that Naoki Nagayama once committed suicide because of Yamaguchi Momoe's retirement!
Mrs. Makino has actually been paying attention to Naoki Nagayama since he became famous. After all, she saw with her own eyes that Naoki Nagayama was just an ordinary high school student, reckless and immature. Who knew that he would become so famous later.
"Naoki Nagayama worked so hard for so long and finally pulled Momoe Yamaguchi back from retirement!! He even let his former idol star in his own movie project!"
Mrs. Makino was filled with emotion, as if she had seen a poor boy working hard and finally marrying his former love.
"It's unprecedented to chase after Naoki Nagayama to this extent!"
The younger generation in the family was originally discussing the hot topic of Yamaguchi Baihui's comeback. Seeing that the grandmother was looking at the newspaper and smiling, they asked:
"Grandma, what are you talking about?"
"Ah, let me tell you a secret. Yamaguchi Momoe's comeback has a lot to do with director Naoki Nagayama!"
"Once upon a time, Naoki Nagayama even gave up his life for her."
"."
Several of the younger generations opened their eyes wide after hearing this!!
At the same time, Nakai Genta was also talking about this matter with Hoshino Suzumi at home. The two were almost the first pair of friends that Naoki Nagayama had after coming to Showa, and they also knew about what had happened before.
"Haha, Naoki-san, this can be considered a wish come true, right?!" Nakai Yuta laughed.
"Naoki-san should have let it go a long time ago." Hoshino Suzumi said, "Didn't he say that he is now a fan of Akina-chan!"
"Oh, men can never forget their first heartbeat. That was Bai Yueguang. What's more, they have had that kind of experience!"
Nakai Yuta said,
"Yamaguchi Momoe will always have a place in Naoki-san's heart!"
"."
But Hoshino Suzumi suddenly had a wrong idea.
"Anata, you haven't forgotten your white moonlight either?!"
"???" Nakai Yuta was a little confused, "Aren't we talking about Naoki-san? Why are you bringing me into this?!"
"Say it quickly!"
Yamazakurain seemed to have become the eye of the storm of public opinion and seemed exceptionally calm.
Akina Nakamori, who knew all of this, even personally participated in the planning of Yamaguchi Momoe's comeback. It was she who proposed the practice of holding a lottery to answer questions.
At this time, Akina was playing with Xiao Xiahua in the living room, using a small doll to attract the baby to crawl towards her. Miaotaro, who was lying on the armrest of the sofa, was also watching this scene.
Naoki Nagayama had just finished playing an exciting and fun pitching game with Inatarou and came down from upstairs after taking a shower.
"Akina."
After arriving in the living room, Naoki Nagayama teased his daughter and then sat cross-legged on the carpet.
"Would you like to go together to the opening ceremony of "Departures"?"
"Great. I can go to the suburbs to enjoy the spring and breathe some fresh air~"
Akina smiled and nodded. Ota Ward is much more spacious than the city center, and now is the spring season, so it's nice to take the baby out to play.
"You can ask Baihui-san to bring Yuutarou and Takahiro with you, and go together after the blessing ceremony is over."
Recently, Akina and Yamaguchi Momoe have been in contact more often. Both are mothers and have a lot to discuss with each other, and they often make plans to go out together.
And Xiao Xiahua also has playmates of the same age, and she is very happy~
"Okay." Naoki Nagayama nodded. "Anyway, there won't be much to do after the blessing ceremony. But there will definitely be a lot of people taking secret photos in Ota District."
"We just need to get away from the park." Akina said, "and drive the RV out!"
"Haha. That's fine~"
The RV prepared for Akina has not been used for a long time, and it came in handy this time.
The two chatted for a while and talked about Yamaguchi Baihui's situation after her comeback:
"Naoki-san, starting tomorrow, public opinion will be even more lively!"
"It's okay. I've already said hello to the heads of several media outlets. It won't be excessive." Naoki Nagayama said, "I may have to do a few interviews tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but it will be much easier after that."
"But is Akina going to be on the show tomorrow?"
“Hi The Best Ten live stream, my new song is already #1.”
Akina Nakamori's new song "TANGO NOIR" has rapidly gained popularity after a previous live broadcast with Naoki Nagayama, from just entering the top ten to directly rising to the current number one spot.
Judging from the situation, it will probably remain in the first position for a long time.
"Then during the live broadcast, I'm sure you'll be asked about this hot topic~" Naoki Nagayama looked at his wife, "Are you prepared?"
"Haha, I said before that it would definitely surprise everyone, and now it has come true!"
Akina showed a sly smile, then blinked her big eyes and approached Naoki Nagayama.
"Naoki-san, I'm actually more worried about them asking another question!"
"Ok?"
"If you ask me, what should I do if your Naoki still has feelings for Yamaguchi Momoe?! Haha~"
"."
Naoki Nagayama was speechless. He turned to look at Xiao Xiahua who was playing with dolls not far away:
"Then you just say that now in Naoki Nagayama's heart, there is only one Xiao Xiahua!"
"Oh?" Akina narrowed her eyes and leaned closer with her delicate face, "What about me? Where am I?!"
"If it's Akina's turn," Naoki Nagayama leaned in and kissed her, "Of course it's in front of me!"
The atmosphere in the living room became somewhat ambiguous, but Xiao Xiahua had already raised her head when she heard someone calling her name just now. Now she saw her father and mother playing the kissing game, and she immediately became anxious.
At such a young age, he was very possessive of his father's and mother's love. He wanted to rush over when he saw them, but crawling seemed too slow. So he made an effort, stood up tremblingly, and walked towards the two people with his thick legs! !
"Eh eh eh?!"
Naoki Nagayama caught a glimpse of it and immediately cried out in surprise.
"Akina-chan, Hana-chan can walk now!!!"
"Todoroki!" Akina was also very surprised. She got down from the sofa, knelt on the carpet and stretched out her hand to Xiao Xiahua, "Hana-chan, that's great! Come~ to mommy!"
Naoki Nagayama did not give in either, and clapped his hands:
"Come on, Hua-chan, come over to daddy."
Little Xia Hua seemed to be still surprised by the sudden change in her vision. Then she looked at her parents a few steps away and started walking towards them with her thick little legs.
The novice didn’t control his balance well when going online and almost fell to the side several times, but he quickly adjusted himself!
Finally, I staggered to the front of the two people, looked at their open arms, and for a moment I didn't know which arms I should throw myself into.
At this time, Naoki Nagayama, who had long arms and legs, had an advantage. He reached out and hugged the hesitant Xiao Xiahua in his arms:
"Hahaha, Hana-chan is running over to daddy!! After you learn to walk, you should walk towards daddy!!"
"Naoki-san!"
Akina looked at Naoki Nagayama angrily, and suddenly felt that this guy was really hateful for actually using an unconventional trick!
"How could this be possible?!"
"Hmph~" Naoki Nagayama lowered his head and kissed his daughter's face, then said with a smile, "Hana-chan, ignore her. Hana-chan loves daddy the most, right?!"
"."
Akina has no way to deal with such a shameless Naoki Nagayama~
A night without words~
If the hot topic of the previous day was still in the brewing stage, starting from the next day, the news of Yamaguchi Momoe's comeback really broke out!
Almost all the morning newspapers in Neon are full of long reports!
The front page of every morning newspaper carried the clearest photo from yesterday's disclosure meeting. The mature and elegant image of Yamaguchi Baihui was everywhere in the newsstands and convenience stores on the streets, in the newspaper boxes and on the dining tables at home.
"A record of Yamaguchi Momoe's comeback!" "After retiring for 8 years, why did she come back now?" "The reasons that Yamaguchi Momoe must tell!" "."
The headlines in various newspapers are all kinds of strange, but none of them dare to smear the news!
In addition to being reported in newspapers, the morning news also reported footage from yesterday's disclosure meeting, with various news anchors talking about this national hot topic.
Today, when people are slacking off at work, when housewives are going to the vegetable market, and during breaks in school, the topic everyone is discussing should be Yamaguchi Momoe!
Most of the content in the report is questions from yesterday’s interview. After all, we did answer questions for a long time yesterday, and almost all the questions from the media were answered.
Moreover, journalists of this era are known to keep their words, and they all promoted Naoki Nagayama's new film "Departures" to a greater or lesser extent in their articles.
"The script of "Departures" is so good that it attracts retired big-name stars!"
Naoki Nagayama couldn't help laughing when he saw this.
“What a good excuse!”
"Of course Baihui-san is a big name in the entertainment industry." Akina took a look and said, "If she keeps going like this, she might even become a senior veteran in the future!"
"Um, are there any levels here? Are there clear criteria for judging?"
Naoki Nagayama suddenly had the idea of grading celebrities in the entertainment industry: The power of fame, level one!
“It’s probably a kind of consensus! We have achieved amazing results!”
Mingcai said so.
"Then what level is a star like Akina who won the Japan Record Awards twice?!"
"Me?" Akina thought for a moment, "Maybe I'm a big star? When I'm older or retired, I should be a big thing too!"
"."
Shaking his head, Naoki Nagayama expressed his incomprehension of this classification.
After breakfast, Naoki Nagayama drove to the Shuyou Building. As expected, there were many shadowy figures outside the Shuyou Building today.
Naoki Nagayama knew that they were paparazzi who wanted to take pictures of Yamaguchi Momoe.
However, the Shuyou Building is an agency after all, with many artists coming in and out, so it is normal to have paparazzi outside. In fact, as long as the paparazzi do not harass the artists at home and disturb their private lives, Naoki Nagayama will not pursue them relentlessly.
"Naoki-mulberry"
When Xing Jiahua saw Naoki Naoyama, she immediately ran over and said,
"The president of HORIPRO is here!"
"."
It looks like he's here to call for punishment!
This is to be expected. After all, their former big IP was poached without any notice. Although they can't actually fight back, they will definitely come to them to demand an explanation!
As for Shuyou, he naturally needed to be appeased. After all, it would not be good for either family if the quarrel continued.
"In the reception room?"
"Hi"
"Is Otomo-san here?"
"Otomo-san is waiting for you!"
"."
As expected, when it comes to getting scolded, Otomo-san will definitely drag someone else down with him!
"Okay. I'll go to his office to find him!"
Naoki Nagayama took the elevator to the top floor and knocked on the door of Yoshimura Otomo's office. As expected, he saw him waiting while drinking coffee.
"Naoki-san you're here!"
"Otomo-san, you've been waiting for a long time, right?!"
"Well, now that you're here, don't waste time. We have to go through this!" said Yoshimura Otomo, "This time you play the good cop and I'll play the bad cop! The angrier you make them, the better!"
"Oh, okay."
The two nodded and walked towards the reception room together.
After knocking on the door and entering, I saw HORIPRO's president, Shingo Oda, sitting on a chair with his arms folded, his face sullen. Two assistants stood beside him with sullen faces. He looked like he was hard to appease.
"what!"
Yoshimura Otomo forced a smile on his face and said enthusiastically,
"Isn't this President Oda Shingo? Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming to Shuyou? I would have come early to entertain you!"
Naoki Nagayama applauded Otomo-san's speed of changing his expression in his heart. If he acted in a movie at this level, he would definitely win an award!
"Heh." Oda Shingo didn't buy it. "Okay, President Yoshimura, President Nagayama, stop playing these hypocritical games! You stole my artist, now tell me what to do!"
Hearing this, Naoki Nagayama knew that it was useless to try to please him blindly, so he did not continue to flirt with him. Instead, he sat on the sofa like a scoundrel:
"But it's already been done. What else can we do?!"
"you!!"
Oda Shingo suddenly became popular.
"President Yongshan, God is watching you! You will not be popular if you do this, and the entire entertainment industry will not accept it!"
“The entertainment industry is not just about HORIPRO”
Naoki Nagayama spread his hands. Today, he will play the role of the good guy.
"Besides, there's no such thing as stealing an artist. Yamaguchi Momoe is no longer an artist of your agency!"
"You," Oda Shingo slammed the table, "are making nonsense of your arguments!"
When you are a good guy, you have to be a good guy to the end. Today, this annoying role is the first time for Naoki Nagayama to experience it, but it feels very satisfying, and even a little bit like a gentleman:
"If you're not convinced, you can sue us!"
Now Naoki Nagayama looks like he is saying "Hit me, hit me if you can", he really deserves a beating!
"you!!"
Nobuo Oda has been active in the Japanese entertainment industry for so long, but this is the first time he has seen such a shameless attitude. He was so angry that he was speechless for a moment!
"Hey Naoki-san, what are you talking about! Stop talking nonsense here, shut up and get out!"
The red-faced person Yoshimura Otomo came online and directly silenced Nagayama Naoki and kicked him out, which calmed the anger in the reception room.
"President Oda, don't be angry, don't be angry. Naoki Nagayama is a young man, full of youthful vigor."
With the gentle words of Yoshimura Otomo, Oda Shingo's anger slowly subsided.
The Japanese character, to put it nicely, is that they admire the strong, to put it bluntly, they bully the weak and fear the strong.
Having just been in a bad mood with Naoki Nagayama, his tone became much weaker with Yoshimura Otomo:
"Otomo-san Shuyou can't bully people like this! If you want to invite Yamaguchi Momoe to perform again, there is no problem with that. You can just contact our agency directly. Why do you have to sneak around and skip us and sign her to Shuyou?"
"Isn't this breaking the rules of the entertainment industry?"
"Yes, yes." Yoshimura Otomo also echoed, "I said the same thing to Naoki-san at the time."
"But you also know Naoki Nagayama. He became famous at a young age and holds great power. It's hard for him to accept other people's advice!"
Yoshimura Otomo explained,
"Akina Mori and Momoe Yamaguchi are close friends in private, and the two families have a very good relationship. I heard that if he makes a comeback, your agency will take at least 9% of the commission."
"Then I heard that when Yamaguchi Momoe retired, she was almost completely kicked out of your firm."
"You also know that Yamaguchi Momoe is Naoki Naoki's white moonlight. He can't bear to see Yamaguchi Momoe being bullied like this."
"."
Oda Shingo was speechless for a moment, and murmured,
"But, isn't this the consensus in the industry?"
"Oh, can't you tell from Shuyou's behavior? Naoki Nagayama is an idealistic and naive boss."
Yoshimura Otomo said,
"He doesn't exploit his artists!"
"How does the firm make money?!" Oda Shingo asked subconsciously.
"."Yoshimura Otomo looked at him like he was an idiot, "Shuyou doesn't make a lot of money from this part of the brokerage business."
Ah! Oda Shingo finally realized that Shuyou has always made a lot of money from movies! !
The Shuyou Agency is just a way for them to expand their influence in the entertainment industry, enhance their fame, and select new actors!
Not to mention Naoki Nagayama himself, he actually has an investment company to help him make money!!!
"So this time, Naoki-san couldn't stand Yamaguchi Baihui being bullied in your office, so he signed her directly!"
Yoshimura Otomo sighed and patted Oda Shingo on the shoulder.
"It's not specifically targeting President Oda!"
Oda Shingo wanted to cry but had no tears. It turns out that only rich people can afford to play with emotions!!!
"But, even if you, Shuyou, don't make money, you can't let other firms not make money either!"
"In fact, there is only one Yamaguchi Momoe. Naoki-san doesn't have any feelings for other artists."
"."
Oda Shingo felt a little shocked, and he felt that he had come here to ask for accusations, so why did he feel a little guilty now? !
"President Oda, the facts have already been established. There is no point in pursuing the matter further."
Yoshimura Otomo continued to advise,
"Why not take a long-term view? Our two firms can cooperate more in the future.
I heard that your company wants to go the legal way, formalize the business of the firm, and then have the idea of going public. We, Shuyou, can help in this regard, and even provide a sum of money as a boost. There is no need to pay interest.
Why don't we turn hostility into blessing for Yukichi!"
Listening to what Yoshimura Otomo said, Oda Shingo felt warm in his heart and felt that President Yoshimura was a good person in the entertainment industry.
Nowadays, anyone who can lend money to others is naturally a good person!
He didn't expect that Yoshimura Otomo was thinking that when the economy went down in the next two years, the firm's performance would deteriorate, and he would directly use debt-for-equity to erode HORIPRO's shares.
Yoshimura Otomo is the most evil person!
Ha, 6000 words long chapter.
