Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 812 820, No one will come to save you even if you scream your throat out.
Arriving at Fuji TV again, Naoki Nagayama walked towards the office of the production department group as soon as he got off the car.

When I was on the road, I always met people I knew and said hello to them. It was like I was in a photo studio with a tree friend.

"Da Tai-san~" Naoki Nagayama knocked on the office door, "I'm here to see you~"

"Naoki-san?" The only familiar person in the office was Nishi Rumi, whose eyes were full of surprise. "Why are you here?"

"Want to ask Dataisang something? Where are they?"

Since I came here impromptu, I didn't inform him in advance, so it's normal that he wasn't there.

"Otae-san and Akimoto-san are going to work on a new love variety show together~" Sai Rumi seemed to be packing up her things, "I'll be there soon too. Naoki-san, do you have any questions? Can I answer them?"

"Are they all out?" Naoki Nagayama said helplessly, "I just came to ask why Crystal Apple seems to have become so popular all of a sudden, even though Love Century has only aired its first episode."

"Ah, this!" Xi Rumei smiled, "Come to think of it, I stayed here to deliver a box of crystal apples to the set!"

"Oh? Sairu Mi-san knows what's going on?"

"Come to think of it, it's related to Miss Akina Nakamori!" Nishi Rumi slowly explained the reason.

Let’s go back two days.

Inside the studio of Fuji TV, Akina Nakamori is currently recording "Night Hit Studio". This famous Showa program has always featured the appearances and joint singing of many celebrity guests.

So this time there are also many celebrities from the entertainment industry at the spacious recording site.

The program "Night Hit Studio" is undergoing a revision. I heard that the broadcast time will be adjusted from Monday to Wednesday, so there will be major changes in the program segments and content.

Although the scene was not well organized, it was still neat when the camera was filming. However, when the camera was not filming, the guests chatted and interacted with each other quite frequently.
Akina Nakamori was hiding in the crowd, trying to be a little transparent, after all, there was no solo performance for her this time, but that's how the entertainment industry is, the more famous you are, the more attention you get.
Soon, many idols from the same period and even senior and junior idols came over to chat.

"Akina-chan, where did you buy your bracelet?"

Hayami Yuu saw the crystal apple red string bracelet on Akina Nakamori's hand and was very envious. The bright red braided string was very conspicuous on her fair wrist, and the crystal clear little crystal apple sparkled under the light.
"very beautiful!"

"Eh?" Ishikawa Hidemi also nodded and joined the conversation, "It looks like the crystal apple in yesterday's "Love Century", but it's much smaller."

"So it's the same type of crystal jewelry!" "It looks really good~" "It seems that the only real-size crystal apples on the market"

Akina Nakamori was very happy listening to everyone's discussions. She knew that the gifts her boyfriend gave her were all unique custom-made items, just like the blue angel bell.

"This is a gift from someone else," Akina Nakamori said tactfully, "It seems to be custom-made~"

"Oh~~" "I see~" "Naoki Nagayama?"

The female idols next to them all laughed and made playful noises. For now, Akina Nakamori and Naoki Nagayama are a breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry.

"Why would you give me a crystal apple?"

In fact, everyone is curious about how Akina Nakamori managed to win over a playboy like Naoki, and there has been no news of any emotional setbacks until now.

"The crystal apple symbolizes love," said Akina Nakamori. "It is said that if the ancient Greek god of love gave a pair of lovers a crystal apple, it meant that their love was as pure as crystal, and they would also receive the blessing of the god of love."

The people around were listening attentively. A group of young girls in their twenties were naturally looking forward to the arrival of love.

Afterwards, Akina Nakamori also popularized the meanings of different colors of crystal apples, such as pink represents romance and joy, blue represents sapiosexuality, etc.
If the two women are 500 ducks, then there are tens of thousands of ducks on the scene, and all of them are celebrity idols in the entertainment industry~
The crystal apples that Naoki Nagayama gave away were actually only given to some of his friends and a few artists. So after the beginning of the year, the crystal apples on the market were just novelties and were not very famous.
However, after yesterday, it seemed that the entire idol circle knew the meaning of the crystal apple, and many artists chose to try it out and bought the crystal apple, further expanding the fame of the crystal apple.
Coupled with the popularity of "Love Century", this accessory has suddenly become a trendy item in the circle!

This is why many programs and agencies have bought a batch of crystal apples~
After hearing this source, the first thing that came to Naoki Nagayama's mind was.
"This way, my workshop that makes custom crystal apples will make a ton of money!"

The fame of the crystal apple exploded so quickly that before other manufacturers could react, the workshop reminded by Naoki Nagayama had already stored a batch of stocks. Now is the time when rare things are valuable!

"Naoki-san, do you want to go to the set together?" Nishi Rumi explained and invited, "Akimoto-san will definitely be very happy if he sees Naoki-san coming to the set!"

Naoki Nagayama glanced at Nishi Rumi and found that her face was full of kindness.

Didn't she realize that in the later period of "Twilight Meow", Yasushi Akimoto already had a love-hate attitude towards Nagayama Naoki?

Obviously, he was the one who wrote the main script and was fully responsible for the filming, but he always had to listen to Naoki Nagayama's opinions again and again. Although he concealed it well, Naoki Nagayama still discovered his unwillingness.

In the later episodes of Love Travel, Naoki Nagayama was just a guest, and Akimoto Yasushi had the final say on the travel route.
In other words, Naoki Nagayama doesn't care about variety shows, otherwise the relationship between the two might be very awkward now~
Now that Akimoto Yasushi is in charge of the new romance variety show, he wants Naoki Nagayama to get involved again?

Others are just being polite, can you take it seriously?

"Xiru Mi-san, I have something else to do. I won't go this time." Naoki Nagayama politely declined, "You go get busy. I'll be leaving soon."

"This" leaves Naoki Nagayama alone at the TV station, and Nishi Rumi is still a little hesitant.

"Haha, Fuji TV is like my home, what are you worried about~" Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "Go and get busy, Akimoto-san is still waiting for props!"

At this point, Xi Rumei did not refuse:

"Hey, I'll take my leave now~ Naoki-san, let's get together next time~"

"Mmmmm~"

After figuring out the reason, Naoki Nagayama did not stay at Fuji TV for long. After chatting with a few acquaintances for a while, he drove away.

I originally wanted to go back to Yamaozakuin, but when I saw the workers hurrying outside, I changed my mind and drove towards Ota Ward.

"The filming should be going on at this time~" Naoki Nagayama muttered.

"Century of Love" is being broadcast and filmed at the same time. Currently, the first three episodes have been edited, and the fourth and fifth episodes are probably being filmed now.

The filming base in Ota Ward just happens to have the urban drama scenes needed for "Love Century". The offices and apartments are scenes that can be decorated and reused at any time, and they are naturally always available in the film and television base.

The street in front of DreamWorks has become popular again, and many food stalls have started to set up here. Even the nearby stores have added many new shops such as soba noodles, ramen, yakitori, etc.

Who says Japanese are old-fashioned and conservative? No one will miss the opportunity to make money.

Naoki Nagayama drove into the park smoothly. As it approached noon, he found that there were people coming and going in the park, some going there to eat, some smoking and chatting, and some carrying equipment. It was very lively and he couldn't help but become curious.

After parking the car and finding the crew of "Love Century", he went to find assistant Katsuyoshi Ishikawa. After all, Kyon Kimura was filming!

"Ishikawa-kun!"

"Ah, Naoki-san~" Katsuyoshi Ishikawa was a little nervous when he saw his boss.

"Why are there so many people at DreamWorks?" Naoki Nagayama pointed at people who were obviously not from his crew and asked, "It seems like they are filming other movies?"

"Yes, they are all from other crews," said Ishikawa Katsuyoshi. "Since the filming of "Hot Blood School 2" and "The Ring 2" was completed a year ago, many small independent film crews have come to use the venue. Shuichi-san arranged for the park's management staff to manage the schedule."

"I see. But how could it be so fast?"

Naoki Nagayama was not surprised by the fact that DreamWorks rented out its scenes. From the very beginning, DreamWorks was not positioned as a private base for tree friends, but as a movie city used to make money.

So of course he could accept other crews' rental applications, but he was surprised that it would be so quick.
"Because many film projects have started shooting in the new year." Ishikawa Katsuyoshi said clearly, "and our DreamWorks set is very new and the space is very open. So many modern dramas want to shoot here."

"Also, the price at DreamWorks is very cheap, the scheduling is fast, and the cost performance is very high~"

"Forehead"

This is indeed cheap. For example, Shochiku, Toei, and Toho all have filming bases, but most of them are borrowed by their own directors. If other crews want to rent them, the rent is high and the waiting time is long.
There are not many directors under Shuyou, so the venue is vacant, and the rent is not high because it is a new venue.
"Well, just think of it as small profits but quick turnover~" Naoki Nagayama said self-deprecatingly, "Maybe in the future I can be as famous as Hollywood!"

"Haha, you can definitely do it~" Katsuyoshi Ishikawa echoed.

"Ishikawa-kun, you are very familiar with the base!" Naoki Nagayama looked at the assistant and praised, "Very impressive~"

"I followed DreamWorks from the time it was being renovated, and I also helped with the arrangements for the various crews afterwards." Ishikawa Katsuyoshi said proudly, "I know the situation of this base best!"

"Not bad, not bad!" Naoki Nagayama patted his shoulder and skillfully drew a pie, "Maybe you will be the person in charge of this base in the future~"

Ishikawa Katsuyoshi's fighting spirit is burning!
"I'll do my best!"

Naoki Nagayama, who is becoming more and more like a mature capitalist, came to the shooting site
Now is the scene where the heroine is sick and resting at home. The set is the heroine's apartment, but in fact, the hero's apartment is next door.
Momoko Kikuchi was resting on the tatami with a pale face, and the male protagonist Hideki Saijo, who came to visit her, was coming in a somewhat clumsy manner.

"Get out of here, you bastard!"

"What are you doing? I'm just returning something you forgot at my house" Saijo Hideki dodged a pillow.

"Who told you to come in on your own!" Momoko Kikuchi was a little panicked.

"I knocked on the door, who told you to be quiet~"

Momoko Kikuchi pulled the quilt and looked at Hideki Saijo who suddenly came in, as if she was looking at something perverted:
"I'm very weak due to a cold. If you do anything strange to me, I'll scream!"

"."

Naoki Nagayama, who was standing by, heard this line and couldn't help but want to reply, even though he wrote it himself:
"You can scream even if you scream your throat out, but no one will come to save you."

It is really funny to watch the performance of the two people inside. One is the central air conditioner with a hard mouth but a soft heart, and the other is a quirky young girl.

However, with the care of Xicheng Xiushu, the relationship between the two gradually warmed up.
I believe that after the fourth episode, the romance drama will officially enter the sweet love of happy enemies~
"Naoki-san?" After calling out "ka", Kyon finally spotted Nagayama Naoki in the crowd, "Why are you here?"

"I came to visit the set~" Naoki Nagayama smiled, "By the way, I'll tell you how the first episode turned out~"

"Oh?"

Kyon Kimura has been immersed in filming these past two days and really hasn't paid attention to this.
“The ratings should be acceptable, right?”

"How can it be just passing?" Nagayama Naoki raised his eyebrows, "Kijima-kun, you underestimate yourself!"

"'Love Century' is a huge success! The average viewership has reached over 22%, with a peak of 30%!" Naoki Nagayama praised his capable staff, "And the TV series has become famous. 'Love Century' and the crystal apples in it have become popular in Tokyo!"

"Todoroki?!" Kyono grinned, "That's great! I didn't disappoint Naoki-san!"

"This is Kimura-kun's ability!" Nagayama Naoki patted Kimura Kyon's shoulder, "Keep it up, Love Century will definitely become a hit TV series!"

"Hi!"

After talking to the director, Naoki Nagayama started chatting with the two leading actors of the show.

"Momoko-chan, are you really sick? You look so pale~"

"No, no~" Momoko Kikuchi smiled, "It's because I put on powder~"

"Ah, it's really good to be young, your skin won't get powdery at all"

Naoki Nagayama joked a few words, which made the girl's face turn from pale to lively. Then he looked at the handsome Hideki Saijo in front of him and said with emotion:

"Xicheng-san, you really have a lot of fans! It is said that there were hundreds of calls to the Fuji TV switchboard that night!"

"That's really troublesome for the operators~" Saijo Hideki apologized with a smile.

"The fans are so enthusiastic." Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "They are all talking about Saijo-san with long hair, which brings back memories~"

Hideki Saijo also recalled the vigor and vitality of the long-haired period:

".Haha, I was younger and more individualistic back then~"

However, Naoki Nagayama did not continue to praise:
"But if you're an actor, you have to make the audience forget your previous image~ Saijo-san, during the next filming, you have to completely treat yourself as the male lead, Teppei. Only in this way can you contribute a truly outstanding performance!"

It is easy for actors who started out as idols to bring their idol identities into their performances.

For example, when shooting now, Hideki Saijo's smile is very sunny, and when he is smoking in the kitchen, he also has a sense of posing and looking cool, and he looks at the camera from time to time as if he wants to break through the dimension.
"Hey! I got it!"

Facing the comments of the famous director, Hideki Saijo immediately adjusted his attitude. You have to know that Naoki Nagayama's achievements as a director are completely different from those of Kyon Kijima.
"Yeah, this is also the audience feedback when the first episode was broadcast." Naoki Nagayama nodded and said to Kyon Kimura, "From now on, every weekend, Kyon Kimura should go to Fuji TV to learn more."

“The good thing about filming while broadcasting is that we can make adjustments at any time based on the audience’s feedback!”

"Hey! I will!"

Naturally, Kimura Kyo agreed seriously.

Next, Naoki Nagayama was invited to give instructions for the subsequent filming.
Speaking of which, Naoki Nagayama was originally the screenwriter of "Love Century". In the Japanese drama creation environment centered on screenwriters, his words carry a lot of weight~
