Chapter 778 Chapter 786, How could anyone like a paper man? !
Naoki Nagayama finally succeeded and walked out of the lounge in a good mood. If a man and a woman stay in the same room, who knows what will happen~
After arriving at the venue, he chatted with a few people he knew in the industry, talked about gossip and everything in between. With his current fame and status in the circle, most of the big names in the entertainment industry would not refuse to chat with him.
"In today's entertainment industry, it really doesn't matter what kind of idol you are. Fame and fans are the most important." A senior industry insider sighed sourly, "As long as you are famous, no matter how good your singing skills are, whether you are professional or not, or whether you sing well or not, there will be many people supporting you~
The sales of their records are higher than those of some professional singers~"
Obviously, he is making fun of a certain actor with a big nose~
“Yeah, yeah~” “As long as the fans buy in~” “This is also a type of idol~”
Everyone agreed that this trend had actually existed a long time ago, but it had never been as blatant as it is today.
If you are good at business, you can become an official; if you are good at acting, you can become a singer. This is a common cross-border phenomenon. However, now there is a trend that some people who are not good at singing still act, and those who are not good at acting still sing. In the future, there will even be a phenomenon that people have to act while cutting out pictures, and sing while singing background music.
Naoki Nagayama smiled and interjected, "Maybe in the future, you can become an idol and release records with just a virtual character image~"
"Hahaha, Naoki-san is really good at joking~"
"A virtual idol?"
"Drawn on manuscript paper like cartoon characters? They should be called paper talents, right?"
"Doesn't that mean there are only two dimensions? The second dimension?"
"."
Naoki Nagayama's words sparked heated discussions among those present. Although everyone believed that the characteristics of today's idols are becoming weaker and weaker, can a two-dimensional virtual character also become an idol?
This is too exaggerated!
impossible! Absolutely impossible!
The discussion attracted more people's attention. As a senior executive of Fuji TV, Kazuki Takano naturally wanted to participate in the FNS Song Festival hosted by Fuji TV, and was also attracted.
"Naoki-san?"
Naoki Nagayama was spotted in the crowd at a glance. The other handsome and beautiful artists were all getting ready in the lounge. Those at the venue were not ugly, but most of them did not have particularly outstanding images, so the ordinary Naoki Nagayama stood out like a crane among chickens.
"Minister Kono~" Naoki Nagayama greeted.
"What are you talking about? So excited?" Kazuki Takano walked over curiously.
"Regarding the development of idols in the future~" Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "I'm saying that idols in the future may very well be two-dimensional paper figures~"
"This is too much!!!" Takano Kazuki opened his eyes wide, "How could anyone like a paper man?"
"Anyway, the idols we see are on TV or in newspapers. What's the difference between them and paper figures~"
Naoki Nagayama's words have aroused a lot of discussion. In fact, such paper figures have a lot of advantages over real idols. There is no mess, the image and personality are shaped by the producer, and there is no need to pay wages.
If you think about it this way, it seems very attractive.
"Ahem, let's talk about this later."
Kazuki Takano did not indulge in such reverie for too long. As a pragmatic TV station manager, the worst that could happen was that he let his subordinates do an experiment.
But since I happened to meet Naoki Nagayama, there are some things we can talk about.
"Naoki-san, can you please talk to me for a moment~"
Kono Ikki said in a low voice, and then he actually took a step to the side.
"."
You really only took one step! Wouldn't the guys next to you hear it clearly? Why did you make it sound like a secret agent meeting? ?
Although Naoki Nagayama didn't understand, he still expressed his respect:
"Ahem. Minister Takano, what do you want to say?"
Kazuki Takano didn't notice anything strange and started chatting with Naoki Nagayama directly: "Naoki-san, regarding the annual word of the New Words and Popular Words Awards, many people have called me recently."
"Oh?"
Although I know that this program is likely to attract the attention of politicians and higher-ups, it is still a shame to have someone call me so early.
"It's about the 'Glico Morinaga case'," said Kazuki Kono and Naoki Nagayama. "The top officials of the National Police Agency and some government officials have expressed their opinions that this case cannot be the word of the year this year."
The Glico Morinaga incident refers to a criminal case that began between 1984 and 1985, with the kidnapping and ransom demand of Katsuhisa Ezaki, president of the Ezaki Glico Foods Company, and eventually developed into a criminal case in which poison threats were issued to numerous Japanese food companies in exchange for ransom.
It is the legendary first "unsolved case" in Neon and a serial case that shocked Japan.
In Naoki Nagayama's memory, the criminal has never been found until later generations. It is the most famous Showa unsolved case in Japan, and it was also adapted into an anime plot by "Ghost in the Shell".
"Should we use 'poison' as the word for this?" Naoyama Naoki whispered, and then said to Takano Kazuki, "Has Fuji TV been unable to bear the pressure?"
"They are all high-ranking government officials. It has risen to the level of undermining the police's ability and the image of national security."
In fact, Fuji TV has produced many "offensive" programs. As one of the powerful and deeply rooted big capitals, a little pressure from politicians is not too troublesome. After all, it is a "free and democratic" country, and it still attaches great importance to the opinions of the people.
However, for a fairly ordinary show, it seems that there is no need to go against them.
"Naoki-san, what do you think we should do? Give up? Or persist?" asked Kazuki Takano.
"Minister Kono~"
Naoki Nagayama looked back at the others who were eavesdropping and couldn't help shaking his head, "Isn't the case still under investigation?
All we need to do is get a notice from the police station and explain why we want to prevent criminals from having a greater motive to commit crimes because of the vote for the word of the year, and why it affects the investigation, isn't that enough~"
"The public is a mob. If there is a plausible explanation, they won't worry too much!"
Just like when playing in League of Legends, a few heroes that are out of standard will be banned. This is the rule~
This way the show won’t be accused of being a behind-the-scenes operation or anything like that!
Having come from the Internet and self-media era, Naoki Nagayama knows too well how easily ordinary people can be manipulated by the media.
“That doesn’t seem to be a problem.”
Time passed quickly while we were chatting and chatting.
In a blink of an eye, the empty seats in the venue were filled with people, and the preliminaries of the FNS Song Festival officially began.
Naoki Nagayama naturally sat in the front row with the best view, sitting together with TV station executives and bigwigs from the entertainment industry. He had no pressure to score and was purely enjoying the performance on stage.
When each artist appeared on stage, dry ice mist would be sprayed on the stage. Under the illumination of colorful radiation lights, it was like the heavenly palace in the 82 version of "Journey to the West".
When Akina Nakamori came out, her golden puffy skirt and purple eye shadow and lip gloss were bright and eye-catching.
A skilled performance of "Ten Commandments" showed off her already perfect stage presence, causing the audience to clap their hands to the beat and cheer.
In addition to "Ten Commandments", Akina Nakamori's competition songs also include "Northern Wing" and "Snow Flower". She quickly changed into a white tutu skirt, and the lights on the stage also changed to white, and snowflakes fell.
"
The wind is getting colder.
Winter is in the air
Sorosorokonokono Street (This city will also welcome)
Kimi to Kinfukeru Season ga Kuru (A season closer to you)
"
From the passionate melody to the gentle melody, Akina Nakamori's deep and soft voice made the judges and the audience fall into a warm winter love~
The quality of the song has been proven by sales, and at this time, Akina's free switching of styles made people feel her solid singing skills and stage performance.
Naoki Nagayama was very pleased as he watched his girlfriend showing off her charm on the stage from the audience.
With her own existence, Akina is now not only at the peak of her appearance and figure, but has almost reached the peak of her career a whole year in advance~
Maybe. I have a chance to win the Japan Record Award this year
In Naoki Nagayama's reverie, Akina's performance has ended. He also saw his own artists Ito Junko and Aoyama Chikako. Aoyama Chikako's "ありがとう (Thank you)" may also win the Newcomer Award~
In the subsequent performances, familiar and unfamiliar actors all appeared on stage, and Naoki Nagayama listened to Teresa Dun's "Tsugunai" (Repayment)~
I also saw Jackie Chan singing "Marianne" on stage. He had a strong Beijing accent, and there was a Chinese prompt board below. It seems that he still hasn't memorized the Japanese~
However, among the audience, a group of female fans actually stood up and cheered for him loudly, which shows the popularity of the kung fu superstar in Japan.
The music festival was fulfilling and tense. After the judges finished their scoring, which lasted more than two hours, the sky outside had already darkened.
"Naoki-san, do you want to attend the next party?" Takano Kazuki invited, "It is said that Naoki-san never shows up at such parties. He is a very mysterious person!"
Naoki Nagayama indeed rarely attends such banquets. People in the industry have a feeling that this person seems to be everywhere, but not many people have seen him.
"Haha, it's not that exaggerated. I just don't like socializing that much."
"Since you're all here today?" Kazuki Takano pulled Naoyama Naoki and left with the others, "Let's have a drink."
“But I want to drive.”
"There is a price and a taxi."
Just like that, Naoki Nagayama was dragged to the celebration party after the Song Festival by him~
In the banquet hall, champagne glasses were piled up into towers and delicious food was waiting on the tables nearby, but most people just ordered some snacks or took a glass of wine and then moved among the crowd, chatting and getting close to different people.
There are even reporters with cameras and a background wall for taking photos, so that the stars can take photos together, or answer a question or two from the media, or give acceptance speeches.
After entering the banquet hall, Kazuki Takano did take Naoki Nagayama to meet with some bigwigs, drank a glass of wine or two, and then went to find other people.
The one who stayed behind, Naoki Nagayama, didn't even remember their names. There were too many people.
"It's a waste of time to come to this kind of party~"
Naoki Nagayama took a small cake and found a secluded corner to taste it, just like a child who was brought into the world of fame and fortune by an adult.
"I hated this kind of socializing in my previous life. This time, at least I have the confidence to not rely on others. I'd better avoid these high-class parties in the future. Aren't you tired~"
Various thoughts kept emerging in his head, and Naoki Nagayama felt that he was standing at a higher angle, looking down at the countless people below who were burdened by fame and fortune.
"Naoki-san?" The sudden call brought Naoki Nagayama back to his senses.
"Yukiko-chan?" Naoki Nagayama recognized the very pretty new idol.
"I heard backstage that Naoki-san was here, but I never saw him. Now I finally found him!"
Yukiko Okada smiled and raised the champagne in her hand.
"I haven't thanked Naoki-san for his song yet, Arigato!"
"Uh, that's nothing, Yukiko-chan sings really well~"
After giving the song "Dream wo a Kirara Mera Naide (Don't Give Up Your Dreams)" to Yoshimura Otomo, Naoki Nagayama never showed any interest in it again, but Yukiko Okada also sang it on stage.
Speaking of which, Naoki Nagayama had four or five songs at the FNS Song Festival this time, and each of them was shortlisted for the final award, which really made a big splash in the music industry.
"Anyway, I still want to thank you~"
Because of this song, Yukiko Okada has entered the fast lane of idol development ahead of time. Although she debuted not long ago, she is now an idol at the same level as Seiko Matsuda and Akina Nakamori.
If Akina is a top-tier idol, then Yukiko Okada can probably be called a new top-tier idol? In short, she is a fresh force~
"Why are you here alone, Naoki-san?" asked Yukiko Okada.
"Because I'm hungry." Naoki Nagayama ate the small cake with a smile and joked, "Actually, this kind of social occasion is very boring, and I just don't want to deal with them~"
"No wonder the seniors all say that Naoki-san is a unique person." Yukiko Okada said with a smile.
After entering the entertainment industry, she became familiar with various celebrities and had seen many of the people she often saw on TV many times.
However, Naoki Nagayama, a hot celebrity in the entertainment industry, has only been seen once or twice, and that was under the guidance of Seiko Matsuda.
"I'm just too lazy to go out all the time~"
Naoki Nagayama smiled and started chatting with Yukiko Okada.
Handsome men and beautiful women attract attention everywhere, even in such crowded and complicated occasions.
Naoki Nagayama, who was known as a playboy, was chatting and laughing with a rising female idol and was soon spotted by someone at the party.
"That person is Naoki Nagayama, right~"
"The girl next to her seems to be a female idol who debuted this year~"
"Oh?"
More or less eyes began to gather towards the originally remote corner. Even the media who were interviewing at the other end heard the news and turned their heads to look several times.
However, the people in front of them were the popular martial arts star Jackie Chan and other artists, so they thought about it and decided to focus on this side.
