Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 929 938, There are no secrets in the entertainment industry!!
"I heard that Naoki-san is going to shoot a new movie?"

"Yeah, you know that too?"

"This kind of news always spreads very quickly in the industry. However, for the gangster film related to the Yamaguchi-gumi, have you discussed it with the local gangs? These guys are likely to cause trouble during the filming!"

"The local Yamaguchi-gumi were too rude, so I sent their leader to jail for two years"

"."

Naoki Nagayama was drinking tea with Masaki Kobayashi at Sanmaiju, and as they chatted they naturally turned to their recent shooting plans.

There are no secrets in the entertainment industry. The news of "Hayato: New World" has spread. It may be that Shuichi-san or Otomo-san revealed it intentionally. They also want to show Shuto's presence in the industry~
Considering Naoki Nagayama's unspeakable relationship with the Yakuza, people in the industry are full of curiosity about how Naoki Nagayama filmed his own history.
Kobayashi Masaki is no exception~
"Naoki-san, your grandfather's name is Nagayama Hayato, right? The Eagle of the Yamaguchi-gumi?" Kobayashi Masaki took a sip of tea and recalled, "I don't think I heard of this name in Tokyo back then~"

Naoki Nagayama looked at Kobayashi Masaki with some surprise, and then he felt relieved. Kobayashi Masaki and his grandfather were from the same era and went to Waseda University. If his grandfather was famous in Tokyo when he was young, he should have heard of it.

Opposite him was a white-headed old man in his 70s, who had experienced times that Naoki Nagayama could not understand. Naoki Nagayama suddenly recalled a scene of Zhang Sanfeng in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.
Yin Liting said:
"'The supreme master of the martial arts world, the sword that slays dragons and the sword that kills dragons, who can compete with him?' These words have been passed down for more than two hundred years."

Zhang Sanfeng said:

"How can it be hundreds of years? At most, it's only seventy or eighty years. When I was young, I didn't hear these words."

The longer you live, the more things you will experience!

Naoki Nagayama shook his head, threw the thought out of his mind, and looked at Kobayashi Masaki who had a strange look on his face:

"People who are in their teens or twenties are naturally boastful. At that time, they were small-time hooligans who looked after two streets, and they could be called the boss of a certain town!"

"So what if my grandfather boasted that he was the eagle of the Yamaguchi-gumi? Anyway, he returned to his hometown in Shizuoka when he couldn't make it in Tokyo~"

"Hahaha~"

Kobayashi Masaki laughed and didn't ask any more questions. Who didn't have a dark history when they were young? He was also known as the star of Hokkaido at that time.
"Then in October, we will first hold the Tokyo International Film Festival, and then we will have to shoot several films in a row!" Kobayashi Masaki exclaimed, "You tree friends will be very busy at the end of the year!"

"Yes, there are already four of them~" Naoki Nagayama sighed, the battle royale has been given to Masataka Komori.

"Really." Kobayashi Masaki looked at Naoki Nagayama's handsome young face and thought of the young people at Shuyou Film Studio. "So energetic."

Naoki Nagayama shrugged:

"Hahaha, young people are supposed to be full of energy~"

"."

Kobayashi Masaki suddenly wanted to strangle Naoki Nagayama's throat.

After entering the middle and late part of the month, time seems to pass a lot faster.

Naoki Nagayama goes to the Shuyou building every day to prepare for the Tokyo International Film Festival with everyone, and also slowly promotes the allocation of resources for Shuyou's subsequent projects.

Others were not idle either.
The premiere month of "Our Little Sister" is almost over, but Masataka Komori is not worried, because after the Tokyo International Film Festival begins, this movie will be the opening movie and will once again set off a wave of popularity~
The late-night drama "Midnight Diner" is not as popular as its predecessors "Squid Game" and "Love Century", but it has gradually established its own specific fan base.

In terms of idol artists, Kudo Shizuka's "I Want to Say I Love You Loudly" has been ranked first on the bulletin list for a long time, and the popularity has not shown any signs of declining.
During this period, I have been posting announcements, doing offline activities, livehouses, etc. non-stop.
People in the entertainment industry are the most snobbish. When she becomes popular, all kinds of compliments and attention are naturally directed at Kudo Shizuka. On the positive side, people say that she is the idol successor after Akina Nakamori and Seiko Matsuda. On the negative side, people directly point out her bad words and say that she is a little slut.
They even started digging into "Twilight Meow", where Shizuka Kudo made her debut, and interviewed her past teammates, which also brought a bit more attention to other members of the Kitten Club.

Anyway, her exposure has caught up with Akina Nakamori who just returned to TV~
"Otomo-san" Naoki Nagayama read the latest promotional plan and said, "There's actually no need for Shizuka Kudo to appear in front of the audience so frequently. There's no need to release an album every three months."

"But, isn't this the standard frequency for top idols?" Yoshimura Otomo said in surprise, "Nakamori Akina and Matsuda Seiko are both like this. Otherwise, how can they compete with so many potential competitors?"

Naoki Nagayama said, "Otomo-san, haven't you noticed that the audience is no longer so enthusiastic about idols?"

It is true that in recent years, idols are like leeks, coming out one after another, the supply far exceeds the demand, and the audience has no idea where to put their attention~
"But at this time, shouldn't we fight for attention?"

"Excessive exposure can easily lead to resistance"

Naoki Nagayama advised, "Otomo-san, the idol industry will be quiet for a while in the future. Shizuka-chan has already established herself in the idol world and has loyal fans. So the future development should be to expand into different fields instead of indulging in increasing short-term exposure."

"I can try TV series, movies, and variety shows with depth to prepare for my future transformation."

Yoshimura Otomo was shocked and said, "Are you considering transformation now?!"

"The life span of an idol is at most two years, or at most five years." Naoki Nagayama said, "Shizuka-chan has been here for almost two years, and her singing skills aren't that great, so she's probably not going to be a good singer, so naturally she has to consider transitioning."

".She is now number one on the Oricon list."

"That's because of the song!" Naoki Nagayama shook his head. "Songs like 'I Want to Say I Love You Loudly' would be on the charts even if Otomo-san sang it."

After looking at Yoshimura Otomo's Mediterranean, Naoki Nagayama changed the first place: "Ranked high!"

"."

Yoshimura Otomo touched his face, imagining himself singing loudly on the stage, and felt a chill. He also felt a little inexplicably excited.
By the way, I’m also pretty good at singing in KTV!

"Ahem~" Yoshimura Otomo cleared his throat, "Well, regarding Shizuka-chan's future development, we will seriously consider it. But by the end of this year, we will probably follow this plan, is that ok?"

"Well, that's it for now~"

Naoki Nagayama nodded and did not deny the hard work of his employees.

Then asked other questions:
"It seems like the opening ceremony of 101 Marriage Proposals has already begun?"

"Hi, at the filming base in Ota Ward~" said Yoshimura Otomo, "This time we invited the apprentice of the former fortune-teller."

"That's it~"

Naoki Nagayama nodded. He actually didn't take praying that seriously.

However, in previous projects, either Yoshimura Otomo, Idou Shuichi, or him, the three executives would always attend the opening ceremony. This time, Shuyou’s second-generation director was independently responsible for the filming project, so they let go completely.

"The movie that Shuichi-san and I will be having is still a month away~"

"Naoki-san," Yoshimura Otomo asked, "Do you want to start promoting your movie in advance?"

"No need~" Naoki Nagayama shook his head, "Let's focus on the Tokyo International Film Festival recently. Are all the foreign guests here?"

"Most of the popular foreign stars have not arrived yet. Their schedules are very tight. They will probably arrive a few days before the opening ceremony."

Yoshimura Otomo said, "But other guests, people who came to attend the opening ceremony, have already arrived one after another."

"Well, have you arranged accommodation?"

"Imperial Hotel~"

"That's good~"

Akina Nakamori, who was participating in a magazine photo shoot, chatted with several other idols during their break.

"Akina-chan, do you still have work to do after the filming is over?" Kyoko Koizumi asked Akina Nakamori next to her, "If not, do you want to go shopping together? We haven't been out together for a long time!"

"It seems that there is no announcement~" Akina Nakamori thought for a while, "But if we go out together, it will cause trouble!"

“You can wear masks and glasses!”

Kyoko Koizumi really wanted to go out for a walk, and it was so hard for her to be with her good friend Akina. It is rare for artists like them to have time to get together.

"Then let's go!" Akina Nakamori didn't hesitate too much and decided with Kyoko Koizumi.

Because it is a special feature on idols, there are male idols on the cover this time, including this year's super popular band Square Plaid, and Toshihiko Tahara is one of them.

He loved to join in the fun, and when he heard the agreement in the front row, he excitedly joined the conversation:
"Nani Nani, do you want to go out and play? Where to?"

Koizumi Kyoko rolled her eyes at him:
“This is a girls’ party!”

"Hey~~~" Tahara Toshihiko was not embarrassed and continued to talk with a smile, "I'm bored too~ Do you want to go clubbing?"

"No!" Koizumi Kyoko shook her head.

"Then let's go to KTV and sing?"

"It's boring~"

".Watching a movie?"

"There aren't any good movies recently. 'Our Little Sister'?"

“It seems pretty good~”

Akina Nakamori watched their conversation and realized something was wrong. When did these two become so close in front of everyone? Why did this feeling resemble me and Naoki-san two years ago?
She knew before that Koizumi Kyoko had said that she was going to date Tahara Toshihiko, but why did it feel like they were going to make it public now?!
When Tahara Toshihiko turned around to talk to someone else, Nakamori Akina pulled Koizumi Kyoko and asked quietly:
"Are you and Tahara Toshihiko going to make your relationship public?"

"Eh? Hahaha~"

Koizumi Kyoko laughed. They were all young men and women, and they saw each other all the time. It was normal for them to be in love. It was also normal for them to be carried away by love.
"Has the firm agreed?"

"Of course not!" Koizumi Kyoko shook her head carelessly, "But dating is not normal. Aren't you and Naoki-san in an open relationship~"

"There was also Seiko-san and Go Hiromi, and later Kanda Masaki~"

Hearing this, Akina Nakamori was very worried. Her relationship with Naoki Nagayama had not been opposed by the agency. But Kyoko Koizumi and Toshihiko Tahara were different!

Let’s not talk about Kyoko Koizumi for now, but Toshihiko Tahara is in Johnny’s, and Kitagawa treats the male idols under his label as his exclusive treasures!

"Anyway, you should get the consent of the agency first~" Nakamori Akina advised, "Otherwise it will be very troublesome later!"

"Yeah, I know!"

Koizumi Kyoko nodded and did not continue the topic.
After all, this was Kyoko Koizumi's private matter, so Akina Nakamori didn't say much and the two started talking about other things.

"I heard that Mina-chan is going to buy a house?"

"Huh? How did you know that, Kyoko-chan?" Akina Nakamori was surprised.

"There are no secrets in the entertainment industry," Koizumi Kyoko said with a smile, "Why does Akina-chan suddenly want to buy a house?"

"I want to invest." Of course, Akina Nakamori couldn't tell her previous reason. She said to her friend, "Kyoko-chan can also buy a set~"

"My place to live is arranged by the firm. I don't want to buy a house!"

Koizumi Kyoko shook her head.
"You might as well buy clothes if you have money!"

“.”How much money can you spend on clothes and the remaining money can be used to buy a house!

Of course, Akina Nakamori didn't say that. She already knew that a deposit of 100 million was a huge sum of money for other idols.

The idols who took cover photos at the same location mostly formed small circles to chat during their breaks, while socialites like Toshihiko Tahara could run around.

Actually, Kyoko Koizumi could also be the one, but today she was with Akina Nakamori and they formed a small group.

Mita Hiroko and Ishikawa Hidemi were chatting, and Fukawa Toshikazu and Motoki Masahiro were also chatting happily. All kinds of messy topics came up~
As we chatted, we talked about the activities in October.

"Has anyone been invited to the Tokyo International Film Festival?" Everyone looked at Hayami Yu, because her English was the best and she had the most international style.

"No! We are idols!" Hayami Yu naturally shook his head, "For film festival activities, only actors who have starred in hit movies should be invited."

"Idols can also star in movies!" Tahara Toshihiko was not convinced. He waved and called over three juniors from the youth team, "They have starred in many hit movies!"

"Haha~"

The three members of the youth team could only smile awkwardly. They were just supporting roles, although the movie was very popular.
This time, it seems that I really didn’t receive an invitation.

"Akina-chan, have you received the invitation?" Ishikawa Hidemi asked Akina Nakamori next to her.

"I?"

"Wasn't Akina's previous Love Letter very popular?"

"Ah!" Akina Nakamori almost forgot that she had acted in a movie~
I was actually performing with Naoki-san at the time, so I just treated it like a trip.
"I've even won a newcomer award in the film industry!" Kyoko Koizumi added, "Is she going to walk the red carpet this time?!"

"."

Akina Nakamori shook her head. She didn't know either.
I'll go ask Naoki-san tonight!
