Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 839 847, You are not as thick-skinned as you think! !

Naoki Nagayama received the news in the studio~
"You actually got here?" Seeing Xing Jiahua coming to report, Naoyama Naoki was a little curious, "I was originally planning to go to Yamazakurain to change a message."

"Maybe there's something urgent. He's called into the studio before~" Yoshimura Otomo said with a smile.

"Maybe~" Naoki Nagayama nodded and said to Xing Jiahua, "Arigato, Hua-chan, I will go and confirm~"

"Then I'll take my leave first~"

After Xing Jiahua left, Naoki Nagayama and Otomo Yoshimura continued the previous topic, Shuyou's plans for the second half of the year.

"If it's in April, we can shoot it directly and release it in May." Yoshimura Otomo said that there is no problem, "Then the next one will be Shuichi-san's TV series. "Squid Game"~"

"Has Squid Game been discussed on which TV station it will be broadcast on?"

Yoshimura Otomo nodded and said, "Shuichi-san has an acquaintance at TBS. We've talked a few times and he seems to be interested~"

"TBS. Okay~"

Naoki Nagayama didn't say much. Since Shuichi Ido was the person in charge, his opinion would prevail.

"There's still 'Our Little Sister' to be released at the end of the year, but there's still something missing in the middle~"

Naoki Nagayama was helpless: "I have invested in an animation studio before, but each animation film takes more than a year to produce. So there is no way for the time being."

"But the movie aspect is still very important. Should we continue to expand the IP of "Hot Blood School" or "Midnight Ring"? "Yoshimura Otomo suggested, "As long as we release another one in the second half of the year, it will be enough~"

"No, let me think about it."

This is indeed a very troublesome matter. There is no suitable movie script at the moment, so Naoki Nagayama can only ask Otomo-san to collect scripts from other screenwriters.

After lunch, Naoki Nagayama took the time to call Nishi Rumi of Fuji TV and learned that they would invite him to watch the final season of "Twilight Meow".

As a variety show planned by himself, Naoki Nagayama did not refuse
In the afternoon, driving his convertible, Naoki Nagayama arrived at the headquarters of Fuji TV again.

"Ota-san, Akimoto-san, and Nishirumi-san." Naoki Nagayama came to the office area of ​​the production team and saw almost all his familiar faces there.

"Naoki-san," Sugiura Daitai smiled, "I finally waited for you to come~"

"Huh? Are you all waiting for me?" Nagayama Naoki was a little embarrassed, "I just came to take a look, there's no need!"

"After all, this is the last episode, and Naoki-san is the original planner. There should be a sense of ceremony!" Sugiura Daitai smiled and invited Naoki Nagayama to sit in the middle of a group of main creators, "After all, Twilight Meow was popular for a whole year last year!"

"Aha~" Naoki Nagayama also sat down and started watching this final episode with everyone.

Because it happened to be the cherry blossom season, the planning theme of the last issue was "As fleeting as cherry blossoms". The outdoor studio was actually placed in Yoyogi Park, and the indoor studio was decorated in tender pink cherry blossom pink.

The program invited all the members of the Kitten Club from the first episode to the last. Some are studying, some have started families, and some are still in the entertainment industry. However, compared to the past, everyone has changed differently after participating in "Twilight Meow".

"What does "Twilight Meow" mean to you?" The host interviewed several members and heard their feelings about the show.

The original Kitten Club members shared their insights:
"It was like a psychedelic dream. I woke up so quickly that I couldn't even remember the details. But the happy and excited feeling remained in my heart."

After several members finished speaking, all the members wore kimonos and cat ear accessories, and sang the original songs - "Let's Learn to Meow Together" and "Don't Take Off My Sailor Uniform" against the background of cherry blossoms.
"That's very well said." Naoki Nagayama praised from below, looking at Akimoto Yasushi next to him, "This copy was written by Akimoto-san, right?"

Akimoto Yasushi was silent for a moment, but still nodded:
".Hey. But how did Naoki-san know that? Couldn't it be her own realization?"

Naoki Nagayama shook his head: "Akimoto-san and the others are just a group of high school girls. How could they possibly write such insightful words?"

Speaking of which, the members of the Kitten Club are almost all teenage high school girls, some of whom haven't even received a high school diploma, so there is no way they would be able to write this kind of copy.

Akimoto Yasushi silenced Naoki-san again. He is still so sharp!

The nearly one-hour show finally ended under the watchful eyes of everyone. When everyone was crying and saying "Mina-san, it's okay~", Nishi Rumi's eyes were still red with sadness.

However, heartless and heartless men like Yasushi Akimoto and Daiyasu Sugiura looked indifferent. After all, they were the ones who planned and produced the program, so naturally they were not moved.

As for Naoki Nagayama, the information explosion in the Internet era in his previous life raised his threshold very high. With his current threshold, it is easy to make him laugh, but it is difficult to make him moved.
"Autumn in My Heart", "Sorry I Love You", "One Litre of Tears", "Unnatural Death", "Sword of Immortality", "To Live", "Soldier Assault".
First, watch these tear-jerking movies and TV series, which cover love, torture, life and death, brotherhood, etc., dozens of times and see if there is anything else that can make you cry!!

However, the atmosphere in the office was still depressed for a while~
After a moment of silence, Akimoto Yasushi brought up the topic, "After Twilight Meow Meow ends, is there any show that Naoki-san wants to continue producing?"

"Me?" Naoki Nagayama thought for a moment, "As for variety shows, I don't really know much about them~"

"."

Everyone in the office fell silent again!
I don't quite understand? I don't quite understand why you planned the popular "Twilight Meow"? And the "New Language Popular Language Awards" with stable ratings. I don't quite understand variety shows, so what is "Music Station" that Asahi TV is competing with Fuji TV and TBS? !

Fortunately, Sugiura Daitai reacted and quickly smiled and smoothed things over:

"Naoki-san should be focusing on the TV series now. Love Century is at its most important stage."

"Haha, the credit for Love Century is mainly due to Director Kyon Kimura. I just provided a script," Naoki Nagayama said modestly, "The rest of the work was done by him!"

Akimoto Yasushi continued:

"'Century of Love' is almost coming to an end. Does Shuyou have any plans for the next TV series?"

Sugiura Daitai immediately interjected: "If there is, we at Fuji TV would be happy to cooperate!"

He now knows that once he has embraced the big and thick leg of Naoki Nagayama, it is best not to get off, whether it is variety shows, TV dramas, or movies. Naoki Nagayama's name is a golden signboard.

"Hmm," Naoki Nagayama thought for a moment, "Shuyou's next TV project is called "Squid Game". But this TV series may not be suitable for Fuji TV's style."

"No, our Fuji TV's style can be varied!" Sugiura Daitai immediately assured, "Naoki-san, please consider Fuji TV!"

"."

The other producers must have cried with envy after hearing this. When had they ever seen Fuji TV being so humble?
However, Naoki Nagayama declined:

"The person in charge of 'Squid Game' is Director Yi Tang, and he has already communicated with TBS."

"." Sugiura Daitai immediately said in disappointment, "Is there no room for maneuver?"

"Haha, it's almost done," Naoki Nagayama consoled, "But 'Squid Game' is indeed a very novel and bold TV series, and a bit violent and bloody. Fuji TV may not accept it. Because TBS is lacking TV series right now, that's why we are willing to try it~"

It sounded like a comforting remark, and Sugiura Daitai couldn't refute it, so he could only nod. This discussion about the new project should have been over.
However, Akimoto Yasushi had been holding back his desire to compete with Naoki Nagayama, and after seeing the disappointment of Sugiura Daiyasu, he became even more jealous.
I gave you no less than ten scripts, but you guys had no intention to make them. Now Naoki Nagayama throws you one at random.
"Naoki-san, what do you think about the future of new variety shows like romance variety shows?" He could only show off the romance variety show he was most proud of.
"Dating variety shows are very interesting~" Naoki Nagayama nodded, and analyzed based on his memory, "However, when other TV stations start to imitate it, the audience's attention may be diverted~ Besides, there are only so many dating routines, and the audience's attention fatigue also needs to be considered."

"In other words, it's not a project that will last long, right?" Akimoto Yasushi asked a little unhappily.

Naoki Nagayama replied with a smile: "Haha, yes, a program whose content cannot be constantly updated with current events will definitely not be a long-lived program."

Nishi Rumi interjected: "So what kind of program do you think is a long-lived program, Naoki-san?"

"Of course it's a news program, hahaha, the type that's most closely related to current affairs!" Naoyama Naoki laughed, "Come to think of it, 'New Speech Buzzword Awards' is also a program that follows current affairs!"

"Haha, news doesn't count!" Nishi Rumi also laughed.

Akimoto Yasushi continued to ask: "Besides these? Isn't there a type that lives longer?!"

"Of course. Comedy variety shows like 'It's Okay to Laugh' are also fine. Just add the latest jokes~" Naoki Nagayama said, "Even if the show is not popular, it can be changed to another format. After all, happiness is the eternal pursuit of the audience~"

“Types of comedy variety shows”

In fact, comedy variety shows are the most numerous type of all variety shows. Speaking of this, Sugiura Daita and others all participated in the discussion and began to express their ideas one by one.

Making people laugh is both easy and difficult, otherwise why do manzai and comedians have the highest salaries in the entertainment industry!

"Naoki-san, the show you're talking about is really difficult!" Akimoto Yasushi was not convinced, "What show can make people laugh so easily?"

"Haha, it's actually very simple, just think of it as playing a game between friends. Everyone can laugh easily~" Naoki Nagayama blurted out without paying attention.

"Oh?" Akimoto Yasushi immediately caught the blind spot, "What game is so funny?"

"Well"

Naoki Nagayama paused for a moment, and immediately searched for simple, fun, and amusing games in his head, and then he thought of the comedy variety shows that were once very popular in Korea.

"For example, a game called 'Of course'~"

“???” Everyone looked over curiously.

"Eh? You guys don't know?" Nagayama Naoki pretended to be surprised, "It's a very popular game among college students."

"."

"Well, it's actually very simple. I'll teach you!"

Naoki Nagayama quickly divided the people in the office into two teams, and then explained,
"This is a game to see who has the thickest skin. In other words, it's a game to see how shameful one is. A member of one team talks to the other team, and no matter what the other team says, the other team must answer 'of course' to confirm it. If the defense is broken and the team cannot say 'of course' within five seconds, then the team loses!"

It was a very simple rule and everyone understood it immediately.

Akimoto Yasushi was still laughing in his heart, "That's it? Who can't answer 'of course'? Just close your eyes~"

After everyone understood, Naoki Nagayama acted as the referee and let Daiya Sugiura and Rumi Nishi try it out first.

Sugiura Daitai said first, he thought about it:
"Nishirumi-san, you actually like Nagayama Naoki, right?!"

Xi Rumi was slightly stunned, and glanced at Nagayama Naoki who was laughing beside her. Although she felt a little embarrassed, she still said:
"Of course!"

"Hahahaha~" Everyone started laughing, and at once they understood the funny point of this game.

It was Xi Rumi's turn. She looked at Sugiura Daiyasu and said directly:

"Datai-san, you appear to be cheerful on the surface, but you are actually very dark inside, right!"

Sugiura Daiyasu was silent for a second: ".Of course!"

In an instant, the atmosphere of struggle between the two became intense, and everyone on the sidelines watched with great anticipation as the two opponents stabbed each other!
"Xiru Mi-san, you're dreaming of marrying into a wealthy family every day, right?!" "Of course!"

"Datai-san, you have been coveting the position of minister for a long time, right?!" ".Of course!"

"Nishiru Mi-san, you cry silently every day when you see the cramped apartment after returning home, right?!" ".Of course!"

"Da Tai-san, every time after the minister leaves, you always sit in the office chair for a while, right?" ".Of course~"

"."

Roar, roar, roar~ "Awesome!" "You can even say that!" "It turns out that Nishirumi-san is so eager to get married!" "Otae-san is really interested in the position of minister."

Although this sounded very exciting to the people nearby, it still couldn't break the defense of both sides until it was Xi Rumi's turn again.
"Tae-san, you actually want to hug the minister's thighs after get off work today, crying and saying 'I will do anything' to beg for your promotion, right!!!"

"."

When Sugiura Daiyasu heard this question, he opened his mouth a few times but couldn't say "of course". It was really too much, too embarrassing. If he answered in the affirmative, how could he face others in the future!!!

"One, two, three, four, five!!!" Nagayama Naoki counted the numbers with a smile, then patted Nishi Rumi, "Nishi Rumi won this round!!!"

"Hahaha~" "Xirui-san is really amazing!" "It's so funny, look at Tai-san's expression!" "."

Everyone was laughing and enjoying the game. Even Sugiura Daitai, who lost the game, couldn't help laughing.
But after a while, Akimoto Yasushi still had some stubbornness:

"Naoki-san, this game has a flaw. If you encounter someone with a thick skin, like me, then I will definitely be the winner in the end!"

"Haha, Akimoto-san, don't overestimate how thick your skin is!" Nagayama Naoki laughed, "Your skin is not as thick as you think! Most people don't know that their defense is easily broken!"

"Hahaha, how is that possible! There must be nothing wrong with me!"

Akimoto Yasushi was full of confidence. The fat on his face made his skin thicker by more than an inch. Who could break my defense? No one exists!

After hearing Akimoto Yasushi's bold words, everyone immediately started to make a fuss and asked Akimoto Yasushi to be the next contestant. But Akimoto Yasushi didn't care and said:
"Naoki-san must be very experienced in playing this game, so let Naoki-san be my opponent!!!"

"Me?" Naoki Nagayama waved his hands repeatedly, "If I go on stage, I'll be bullying!"

"Stupid tape, I will definitely not break my defense!" Akimoto Yasushi pulled Nagayama Naoki to the other side, "No matter what you say, I will say 'of course' without changing my expression!"

"Let's not do that. You don't have any experience yet." Naoki Nagayama wanted to refuse.

"Haha, Naoki-san, you're not scared, are you?" Akimoto Yasushi laughed.

However, Sugiura Daitai also wanted to see Naoki Nagayama's joke at this time, so he took advantage of the crowd's noise and pushed the boat forward:

"That's it, Naoki-san, give it a try. Give Akimoto-san some challenges! I'll be the referee!"

He looked at Akimoto Yasushi, who looked smug and confident, and then looked at Nagayama Naoki, who looked a little embarrassed.

"Let Naoki-san go first!"

"Isn't this bad~"

If I come first, there will be no chance over there!
Akimoto Yasushi raised his chin and said, "It's okay, let Naoki-san go first. I'm sure I can do it!"

"This"

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Naoki Nagayama had to start preparing to ask questions.

He looked at Akimoto Yasushi's fat face, who looked nonchalant:
"Akimoto-san"

"What?" Akimoto Yasushi's eyes were firm. No matter what Naoki Nagayama said, he would answer "Of course"!
Naoki Nagayama gave him a sympathetic look, his mouth slightly open:
"Your Ding Ding is only an inch, right?!"

"When???" Akimoto Yasushi finished speaking halfway when he immediately realized something was wrong!

What else does Naoki Nagayama say!!!

He said my Ding Ding is only one inch!!! Then it is three centimeters!!!
What is this?!

Everyone present fell silent, and subconsciously looked at Akimoto Yasushi. For a man, such a question is even more socially dead than social death!!!
So, can Akimoto Yasushi admit it without batting an eyelid? ! It's really exciting! ! !

Under the gazes of everyone, Akimoto Yasushi's face turned from white to red, and then from red to blue. His mouth opened and closed several times. The words "of course" were on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't say it!
If he admits it now, then tomorrow he will have the nickname “One-inch Man”!!!
No one cares whether he is playing games or not!

"One, two, three." After being reminded by Naoki Nagayama, Sugiura Daisuke still remembered his responsibilities as a referee. "Akimoto-san, if you don't say anything, you will have to admit defeat!"

"." Akimoto Yasushi's lips twitched
"Five!!! Naoki-san wins this round!" Sugiura Daiyasu finally announced!

“Hahaha!” “Sure enough, his defense was broken in an instant!” “This is really difficult!” “I won’t admit it either!” “.”

Everyone laughed again, and everyone thought that this game was really interesting! !
