Chapters 1484 and 1493: There is an ancient saying in the East: "Those who understand the times
Chapter 1484, 1493: There's an old saying in the East: "Those who understand the times are heroes!"
Naoki Nagayama felt that something was off about the film crew these past few days!
Although the male and female leads were very experienced in filming, the atmosphere among the crew was harmonious, and the filming progressed very smoothly. Even the extras were fully committed to the film, and two particularly good extras emerged!
But he always felt that something was off about the film crew.
"Well"
During a day of rest, Naoki Nagayama stroked the stubble that had just started to grow on his chin, deep in thought.
"What exactly is wrong?"
"Naoki-san? What's wrong?"
Nishimoto Tomoyuki came over and handed Nagayama Naoki a bottle of water.
"Do you have any thoughts on the filming just now?!"
"No. The filming just now went very smoothly, and the actors performed very well."
Naoki Nagayama shook his head and said to his assistant director,
"But Nishimoto-kun, have you noticed that something's off about the production crew?"
"Forehead"
Hearing this, Nishimoto Tomoyuki was a little confused.
"What's wrong?"
".have no idea."
Naoki Nagayama glanced at Keiko Matsuzaka joking with Ken Takakura, Leon Lai learning Japanese from Shizuka Kudo, Izumi Sakai and Yutaka Ozaki discussing their new album, Lin Junxian chatting with Yu Hayami, Takehiko Takei building a new set, Muneo Matsuo delivering water to Kyō Kijima, and Yutaka Nanjo, Ekin Cheng, and others discussing racing parameters with the drivers.
Everyone was having a great time, and it seemed like everyone was happy together.
Anyone who sees this will know that it's a very friendly film set!
"do not know?"
Nishimoto Tomoyuki scratched his head and asked the same old question.
"How can you know what's wrong if you don't know what's wrong?"
"That's why I'm a little frustrated! I just don't know!"
Naoki Nagayama unscrewed the ice water bottle and took a big gulp. The icy sensation traveled from his throat all the way to his stomach, and only then did he feel his agitation subside slightly.
Just then, he suddenly looked at the iced drink in his hand, then at the bewildered Nishimoto Banyuki next to him, and his eyes suddenly turned to a certain part of the film crew!
Naoki Nagayama has discovered the blind spot! He finally realized something was wrong!!
"Naoki-san?"
Seeing Naoki Nagayama suddenly staring in a certain direction, Tomoyuki Nishimoto also looked over.
"Um, are those Kijima-san and Matsuo-kun over there?"
"Is something wrong?!"
"."
Looking at the drink in his hand, and then at Kijima Kyō's side, at the iced drink that Matsuo Muneaki had just handed him...
Something's really wrong! Something's really wrong!
"???"
It's just a bottle of drink, what's wrong with it?!
Seeing the confused look in Nishimoto Tomoyuki's eyes, Nagayama Naoki had no choice but to explain it to him:
"In this film crew, besides me, would you ever go out of your way to take a drink from the fridge and hand it to someone else?!"
"Forehead"
Nishimoto Bansuke remained silent.
Naoki Nagayama frowned, and suddenly remembered:
"! Matsuzaka Keiko doesn't count!"
With such a beautiful woman, it's natural for the men in the crew to be unmoved. It's perfectly normal for them to go up and chat with her, offer some pleasantries, or even fawn over her.
"That's all~"
Nishimoto Banyuki said seriously, "He is the assistant director, a position second only to the director in this crew, and he has a certain reputation in the entertainment industry. How could he possibly fawn over other men!"
"Then look."
Naoki Nagayama pointed at Muneo Matsuo.
"Is Matsuo-kun being a little too attentive to Kijima-kun right now?!"
Nishimoto Tomoyuki looked over, and sure enough, Matsuo Muneo, besides bringing him a drink, was even fanning him with a script!
This is even more enthusiastic than pursuing a young girl!
Autumn beans and burlap sacks, chasing after young girls?!
"!!!" Nishimoto Tomoyuki's mind immediately wandered to the wrong idea, "Could it be that Matsuo-kun has awakened some kind of attribute?! Him and Kijima-san..."
"Ahem, Nishimoto-kun, stop reading those weird comics and novels!"
Naoki Nagayama rolled his eyes.
"Matsuo and Kijima both have girlfriends!"
"Eh? Kijima-san has a girlfriend too?!"
"Can't some people have a unique perspective?"
After all, Kijima Kyō is someone who wears a gold Rolex every day. An ordinary gold-digging girl would agree just because it's so shiny!
"Alright, alright, think about it the other way around! Why is Matsuo-kun suddenly being so subservient to Kijima Kyō?!"
"Hmm."
Nishimoto Tomoyuki pondered for a moment,
"Matsuo-kun committed murder and Kijima-san witnessed it?!"
Naoki Nagayama paused for a moment, then began to retort:
"Nishimoto-kun, I've noticed that your way of thinking is sometimes a bit strange!"
"Hehehe, I've been reading too many detective novels~"
Having found what was wrong, Naoki Nagayama felt much more relaxed.
The next step is to slowly uncover the truth!
Not to mention Naoki Nagayama and Tomonyuki Nishimoto looking for differences over there, Matsuo Muneo here is now full of guilt.
"Kishima-san, dear Kijima-san, what do you want me to do so you won't tell Naoki-san?!"
Matsuo Muneo handed the cold drink to Kijima Kyoro, and then used the script as a fan to fan him.
Ever since Kijima discovered his conversation with the duo, he has been asking for a long time, but he has not received a definite answer from Kijima!
Well, that depends on how you perform.
These kinds of replies are getting to him!
Kijima Kyō, who was sipping his cold drink, felt it was time and spoke up:
"Matsuo-kun, this isn't a big deal. At most, it's just a matter of misjudging people. Who can always be right about people?"
"But the real problem is that you still want to deceive Naoki-san!"
At this moment, Kijima Kyō resembled a grand eunuch serving the emperor.
"This is the crime of deceiving superiors! No superior would appreciate such behavior!"
"."
Matsuo Muneo remained silent; hadn't he thought it through at that moment?
Seeing that Matsuo Muneo's temper had been worn down considerably, Kijima Kyō didn't continue to cause trouble, but instead said directly:
"If you want me to help you cover it up, the two of us will have to work together to kick Nishimoto Tomoyuki out first!"
"Huh?!!"
Matsuo Muneo paused in surprise for a moment, then quickly shook his head.
"How could I do that?! Kijima-san, don't you know that Nishimoto-kun and I went through thick and thin together, even infiltrating a cruise ship, and almost lost our innocence?! How could I do such a thing?!"
"Wow? This is so sweet?!"
Kijima's playful taste,
"Aren't you all competitors in the production team? Why do you all want to be Naoki-san's right-hand men?! Don't you want to suppress him?!"
"That's different! Competition is competition! Nishimoto-kun is my best friend, my brother!!"
Matsuo Muneo, with an upright expression, then spoke.
"How could I possibly kick someone when they're down just because of something you said, Kijima-san?!"
"Tch~~"
Kijima shook his head dismissively, but still said,
"Once we get Nishimoto Banyuki removed from the production team, then Naoki-san will be the eldest, I'll be the second eldest, and you'll be the third eldest!"
"."
Matsuo Muneo was speechless. How was this any different from the current situation?!
Even if we get rid of him, isn't there still you, Kijima Kyō, who's above me?!
However, Kijima saw through it and chuckled:
"If you don't agree, I'll team up with Nishimoto-kun and kick you out!!"
"!!! Kijima-san, you..."
"So? Are you in or not?"
Kijima Kyo smiled with great confidence.
"If you don't do it, I'll go after him! I have leverage over you, it'll be easy!"
Thinking back to the times he and Nishimoto Tomonori hid in the cubicles to avoid the muscular men, and then looking at Kijima Kyō, whose eyes held a threatening glint, Matsuo Muneo closed his eyes:
"I'll do it!!"
Hahaha~
Kijima nodded in satisfaction.
"Matsuo-kun, there's an old saying in the East: 'A wise man submits to circumstances.' You won't regret this decision!"
"."
Matsuo Muneo, with a stern face, asked...
"So what exactly should we do?"
"Hehe, didn't Naoki-san mention it before? Kiyomi also has a script for 'I'm Sorry, I Love You'?"
Kijima Kyō leaned close to Matsuo Muneo's ear and whispered something.
"We are like this, and like this..."
As Matsuo Muneo listened, his expression shifted from stiff to lively, and finally became resolute!
By the end of the halftime break, Kijima and Matsuo had reached an agreement.
Seeing Matsuo Muneo busy checking the crew's preparations, Kijima Kyō finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why not just cooperate with Nishimoto Banyuki?"
"Of course, it's so that after kicking Nishimoto out, Matsuo Muneo will also be kicked out!!"
First, we'll team up with Matsuo Muneo, who holds the key to our success, to eliminate another competitor. Then, we'll use the key to eliminate Matsuo Muneo as well. That way, I'll be left as the assistant director by Naoki-san's side, hahaha!
Even if Matsuo Muneo isn't removed, he can only obey orders on set!
Kijima Kyokuro was a latecomer to the franchise, but ended up becoming the second lead in "Fast & Furious"!
This tiny film crew is practically a palace intrigue drama!
There are no secrets in the entertainment industry.
The news of Akina Nakamori's impending comeback spread almost unnoticed, and after hearing that her new album had entered the formal production stage, many media outlets and television programs showed great interest.
They all wanted Akina Nakamori's first appearance after her comeback to be on their own shows, in order to capture the biggest wave of attention.
The entertainment industry has been rather quiet this summer.
Hitoshi Nagashima, the producer of "The Best Ten", even called Akina directly, hoping to have a face-to-face meeting.
Unable to resist repeated requests, Akina decided to take some time during her styling trial to meet with the people from TBS.
The styling session was held in a retro British-style photo studio, and Akina brought her two children along, wanting to take some cute photos of them as keepsakes.
"Ah~~~ Hana-chan is so cute!!"
Looking at Natsuka, who was wearing a princess crown and a little dress, Ochi Hiroyo couldn't help but feel a surge of maternal love.
"She's just like a little princess!!"
"It's supposed to be a princess look!"
Akina, who had already changed her clothes, said that she was now wearing her jewelry.
Akina doesn't usually wear jewelry, but this time her style was that of a glamorous princess, so she unusually wore a lot of jewelry. All of it was her own real jewelry!
Naoki Nagayama is so rich, he naturally wouldn't hesitate to spend money on his wife. For various holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, etc., Akina's jewelry box is even more abundant than a jewelry store!
This time, security personnel were even arranged to ensure safety.
Unlike inexpensive handicrafts, genuine jewelry, when worn, constantly refracts light and scatters a shimmering glow as the wearer moves. Against Akina's fair and delicate skin, it shines even more brilliantly.
This also makes Akina look like a noble princess who has stepped out of an ancient palace.
"Ah~~"
As a woman, Ochi Hiroyo was naturally first attracted by the high-end jewelry; her heart felt like it was being crawled by ants.
"So beautiful!!"
"Jewelry too, and Akina too!!"
Xia Hua chimed in from the side:
"So beautiful~~"
"Haha, when Huajiang grows up, she'll be very pretty too!"
Akina gently pinched her cheek, then checked on little Ren, who was being held by Nonaka Mari, and said:
"Okay, let's take some pictures!!"
"it is good!!"
Girls have a natural love for taking photos, so from the morning onwards, the clicking of camera shutters never stopped!
It wasn't until the lunch break that Akina finally met with Hitoshi Nagashima, the director of "The Best Ten" program, who had been waiting for her.
Because she was in a hurry, Akina didn't remove her makeup and came straight over wearing her jewelry.
Akina-san
When Nagashima Hitoshi heard the door open and just stood up to greet them, he was stunned by a burst of light.
Entering was a noblewoman who looked as if she had just emerged from a Western royal banquet. Her priceless jewels complemented her perfectly, creating an absolutely stunning image that left Nagashima Hitoshi speechless for a moment.
"A secluded Marseille, Long Island."
Akina apologized very gently.
"Sorry to keep you waiting!"
"Ah, tadpoles, tadpoles. I'm fine, it's nice here with tea. Perfect for escaping the sun and preventing heatstroke."
Working at a television station, the well-informed and experienced Hitoshi Nagashima was unusually nervous, his words becoming incoherent, but he managed to regain his composure.
"It's been a long time since I've seen Akina-san, she's doing very well!"
"Arigato~"
Akina sat down opposite Hitoshi Nagashima and responded very politely.
"Because I haven't worn makeup in a long time, I'm a little worried that my fans won't recognize me!"
"What's there to worry about!"
Hitoshi Nagashima immediately remarked that this style would definitely be popular.
"Fans will definitely recognize her and cheer for Akina-san!"
"Haha, thank you for the compliment."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Hitoshi Nagashima got down to business:
"Akina-san, how's the new song coming along? When is it expected to be released?"
"They're already revising the song."
Akina said,
"As for the timing, I estimate it will be in October! The studio version will be available in a few weeks!"
"Akina-san, once the album is finished and released, our 'The Best Ten' program team will definitely be promoting it, and we're willing to do our best to help with the promotion of the new song!"
"You can appear as the opening act at the beginning of the show, or you can be the closing act, whichever you want, Akina-san!"
"Well"
Akina hesitated for a moment.
"I haven't actually thought about the publicity yet."
She can appear on almost any popular show she wants, such as "The Best Ten," "Night Hit," and "Music Station"!
"Akina-san, we can give you a week's notice."
Hitoshi Nagashima continued to increase his bets.
"We can also create a stage specifically to match the new album, making it as magnificent as a palace!"
"You'll be absolutely satisfied!!"
"."
Seeing Hitoshi Nagashima's sincerity softened Akina's heart, especially since she had appeared on "The Best Ten" many times!
And that revolving door, I really miss it.
"What about this time?"
Akina set out conditions.
"Could we ask Mr. Hiroshi Kume to host this event?!"
"Eh? Hiroshi Kume?"
"Hi"
Akina nodded.
"I kind of miss the first time I was on 'The Best Ten,' it was with Kume-san and Kuroyanagi-san."
"I see."
Hitoshi Nagashima readily nodded.
"No problem!"
Although Hiroshi Kume has left TBS, it's normal for presenters to move between television stations. Even if I have to go to Hiroshi Kume's house for a dogeza tonight, I'll make sure this matter is completed!
"Arigato!!"
Akina smiled and thanked her.
"It's nothing, just a small matter."
