Chapter 1063 1072, Who Am I, What Opinions Can I Offer? !
"It's actually a science fiction novel~"
In the familiar reception room, Morikawa Kuniji looked at the draft in his hand, feeling a little surprised and a little relieved.
Nagayama Naoki, who always finished the first draft, finally brought the draft of the novel to discuss with him, a senior editor, today, which surprised and delighted Morikawa Kuniji.
I am finally useful to Naoki-san! I am finally no longer just a proofreader and printer!
"Yes. Because I want to try something new, I tried to write it~"
Nagayama Naoki's attitude is sincere. Only a small part of this "Jurassic Park" is borrowed from well-known movies and fragments. Most of it is written by himself, which can hardly be regarded as a future best-selling novel.
I was a little worried whether I could reach the level of future novels, so I asked editor Morikawa from Shogakukan to help me.
After all, senior editors have reviewed thousands of novels, so their eyes are still objective~
"I would like to ask Kuniji-san to help me look at the draft and see if there are any wrong places for the novel. Give some suggestions and I can make adjustments!"
"Jurassic Park~"
The bold and thick title of the book is extremely conspicuous on the thick manuscript paper.
Kuniji Morikawa looked at the name of the novel. The combination of the disappeared Jurassic and the modern park created a strong contrast and conflict, and he was immediately attracted~
"It tells a story about the prehistoric Jurassic era~ Is it a plot like "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" that goes back to the past? But going back to the prehistoric era is indeed very novel"
"Ah, no~" Naoki Nagayama interrupted quickly, "It's about the near future. It's about gene cloning."
"Scientists in the future extracted a drop of ancient dinosaur blood from mosquito amber tens of millions of years ago, and cloned prehistoric dinosaurs. Such a story."
Listening to Naoki Nagayama's story, Kuniji Morikawa's ears were first filled with such terms as "gene", "clone", and "bioengineering technology", and then filled with dinosaur races such as "Tyrannosaurus Rex", "Pterodactyl", and "Allosaurus".
I just felt that the draft in my hand seemed to be a very extraordinary thing. After opening it, I would be sucked into a bizarre world~
So, he turned to the first page.
Then the second Page 2
Page 3.
After an unknown amount of time, Morikawa Kuniji felt his neck was so sore that he couldn't stand it anymore, so he looked up. He saw that there was only an empty table in front of him.
"What am I doing?"
Morikawa Kuniji came back to his senses and was a little terrified for a moment,
"Where's Naoki-san?! Naoki-san is gone! Where did Naoki-san go?"
Thinking of this, he immediately stood up and rushed out of the reception room, and saw the glasses girl who was on duty in the lobby:
"Reiki-chan, have you seen Naoki-san?!"
Nozawa Reiki was a little confused : "Naoki-san? Didn't Naoki-san leave in the morning?"
"In the morning?"
"Yes." Nozawa Reiki suddenly patted her head, "Oh, right."
"When Naoki-san left, he told me that you, the editor-in-chief Morikawa, were carefully reviewing the novel, so he left first. You can notify Morikawa-san after he has read it."
Morikawa Kuniji nodded in confusion:
"Ah, notify Naoki-san. I understand~"
Then he looked up at the glass window. The sky outside was already a little dim. It was almost evening!
He felt very thirsty in his mouth, but his stomach didn't feel hungry, but his whole body was weak. He was too hungry~
He didn't even have lunch! ! !
"Have I been reading for four or five hours in a row?!"
"Morikawa-san?" Nozawa Reiki's call brought Morikawa Kuniji back to his senses again, "What are you holding in your hand? It looks heavy"
"Ah? In your hand?"
Morikawa Kuniji raised his hand and saw a thick stack of manuscript paper!
The weight in his hand reminded Kuniji Morikawa that the novel was incredibly long. A novel with more than 500,000 words was already a super long novel in this era!
He didn't even let go when he ran out just now, and subconsciously brought the novel out
Kuniji Morikawa had a very complicated expression when he saw that he had only read less than one-third of the novel.
"Naoki-san asked me to give some suggestions," Kuniji Morikawa smiled bitterly, "Who am I, what suggestions can I give!"
For this kind of science fiction masterpiece, he could only enjoy reading it, and then keep clapping and shouting "Six six six" on the side!
"It seems that everyone still underestimates Naoki Nagayama's writing potential!"
"Jurassic Park. It seems to be causing a sensation in the novel world again."
Time goes back to the day before~
Fuji TV's TV series has come to an end, and it is busy recording the semi-annual deluxe version of "Night Hit";
TBS TV's "Fighting People" has attracted many viewers and is being recorded in full swing;
In addition to the music variety show "Music Station", Asahi TV is planning to shoot long-lived criminal investigation and medical dramas;
And Tokyo TV, as always, is working hard on animation and late-night dramas
As the earliest commercial TV station, Nippon Television (ntv) has always been suppressed by TBS and Fuji TV in terms of ratings. In recent years, even Asahi and Tokyo TV have dared to challenge it
Nippon Television's director Ryuta Koga has been troubled by this~
"Is Nippon Television going to decline in my hands?"
Looking at the cute bear logo on the table, Koga Ryuta felt that it was also questioning him, and he felt a little sorry for such a sincere look, so he reached out and stuck the logo on the table.
"Director Koga~"
The office door was knocked open, and Kasahara Yukino, the chief producer of Nippon Television, walked in.
"Director, Shuyou Group wants to collaborate with us on a program!"
"Shuyou Group?" Koga Ryota was stunned for a moment, "Nagayama Naoki?"
"Hi, it's Naoki Nagayama's company!" Kasahara Yukino said excitedly, "I just received a call from Director Yoshimura of the Shuyou Group. I want to chat with the senior management of the Nippon Television Production Bureau to jointly produce a variety show. programme."
Hearing this, Director Koga Ryuta also became somewhat interested.
You know, Shuyou Group has cooperated with Fuji, TBS, Asahi and even Tokyo, but it has never dealt with Nippon Television. He thought when did Nippon Television offend Shuyou Group?
"What kind of show?"
"It's probably a music program~ We'll have to wait until Minister Fangcun comes over to discuss the details~"
Kasahara Yukino just received the forwarded call.
"Director Koga, do you want to set any policy for this cooperation?"
In Neon, TV stations are almost a monopoly industry. Generally speaking, there are some conditions for cooperating with TV stations to produce programs.
For example, advance funding for production, review of samples, modifications must be made in accordance with the requirements of the TV station, and money deductions if the ratings do not meet the standards~
"Hmm"
Koga Ryota thought for a moment,
"Let me attend this meeting too!"
"Eh? The director directly participated?" Kasahara Yukino said in surprise, "Isn't it a little too grand?"
"After all, we have tree friends on the opposite side~" Director Koga Ryuta sighed, "If Nippon TV doesn't put down its posture, it really may not even be able to compete with Tokyo TV!"
Japanese TV stations also want TV series like "Love Century" and "Tokyo Love Story"! I also want to have a music channel like "Music Station"!
"Hi!" Kasahara Yukino nodded, "Then I'll notify the General Affairs Division."
Since the station director wants to participate, it is natural to raise the level. At least the best reception room in the headquarters must be reserved, and a venue for entertaining in the future must be reserved.
"Minister Yoshimura!"
Kasahara Yukino and Yoshimura Otomo had met several times, and they stood at the door to greet the arrival of Shuyou and his group.
"Director Kasahara, long-awaited greetings."
Fangcun Dayou stretched out his hand to shake hands warmly, with a warm smile on his face.
"Why bother you to come and greet me?"
"Where, where. It should be, it should be~"
Yoshimura Otomo and two assistants followed Kasahara Yukino and walked towards the interior of Nippon Television's headquarters. As Neon's first commercial television station, Nippon Television has naturally had its glory days. This headquarters has a very contemporary and old feel.
"Mr. Yoshimura, our station director Koga Ryuta is already waiting for your arrival in the reception room~" Kasahara Yukino said as he walked, "I mentioned that my friends from Shuyu want to come and talk about cooperation. The station director attaches great importance to it. ~”
"Director Koga?" Yoshimura Otomo was a little surprised. He just wanted to have initial contact with Japanese television today. "Why is this so embarrassing?"
"Hahaha, just a casual chat~"
Arriving at the spacious reception room, Kasahara Yukino immediately acted as the introducer:
"Minister Yoshimura, this is the director of our Nippon Television Station, Ryuta Koga!"
"Director, this is the head of the Shuyou Group. Yoshimura Otomo"
"First meeting. I am" X2
When the two met for the first time, they naturally bowed to each other and exchanged business cards, a social ritual.
It took a while to get down to it:
"Minister Yoshimura, what projects is your company working on recently?" Koga Ryota invited tea and started chatting casually.
"Isn't this matter already known to everyone?" Yoshimura Otomo said with a smile, "Aside from making a movie, Shuyou's biggest project this year is the preparation for the Tokyo International Film Festival."
Nippon Television was also involved in the preparations for the Tokyo Film Festival, and we just casually chatted about the progress. Then Director Koga Ryuta said:
"Isn't it developing into the animation industry recently?"
"Ah, this"
Yoshimura Otomo didn't reveal everything, let alone connect today's purpose with anime.
"This project is in charge of Shuichi Itou from the film department, and a comic has been released recently. It seems to be quite lively~"
"Oh? Minister Yoshimura doesn't care about this business?" Kasahara Yukino was a little surprised.
"Hahaha, I'm mainly responsible for the artist business here." Otomo Fangcun took the opportunity to put forward the purpose of coming today, "Isn't it just that I want to cooperate with NTV on a talent show? I want to select more potential artists for Shuyou Group. ."
"Talent show? Aren't your company's Shizuka Kudo, Chiko Aoyama, and Junko Ito all famous?" Kasahara Yukino said, "They are the envy of other firms~"
"Alas~" Fangcun Dayou pretended to sigh, "The idol industry is getting worse and worse. Judging from the past few years, the idol market has been saturated. We Shuyou want to cultivate more professional singers in the future."
Koga Ryota heard it:
"What Minister Fangcun wants to cooperate with is a singer talent show?!"
"Yes!" Otomo Fangcun was originally here to talk about the program, and he motioned to his assistant to bring out the project planner, "The program we want to create will be called 'Neon Sound' for the time being."
"The Sound of Neon."
Hearing this name, Koga Ryuta and Kasahara Yukino were both fascinated. Nowadays, in order to be fresh and international, the names of neon variety shows are either mixed with English, use uncommon words, or are incomprehensible.
I haven’t heard such a normal program title for a long time~
Opening the project planning book, it contains the selling points and general process of this program. At the same time, Fangcun Dayu was also explaining:
"This program is specifically designed to select singers, or the main basis for judging potential singers is only one thing: 'tone'!"
"So we use a blind listening method. We don't look at the singer's face, image, age or background and only listen to the singer's singing."
"Only when a teacher is recognized can he become a teacher. Each teacher's evaluation criteria are different, but we follow one principle, as long as you think your voice is good."
"Contestants recognized by multiple mentors, just like college students today, have the right to choose a mentor. It depends on the conditions given by the mentor and their compatibility."
"In the end, the members selected by the instructor form a team and compete with other instructors, and the audience selects the championship team!"
"The final champion will be signed by our tree club, Naoki Nagayama will compose the debut song and help publish the album."
In fact, the audition, evaluation, and champion signing process of "The Sound of Neon" are similar to those of current idol auditions. The main surprise is that blind listening has only one judging criterion: the contestant's singing voice.
Then it was finally signed by Shuyu, and Naoki Nagayama created the debut song
"Did Naoki-san actually write the song himself?" Kasahara Yukino exclaimed, "Other singers will be jealous to death when they hear it!"
Nagayama Naoki's songs are truly representative of quality and sales!
"Haha, I finally begged Naoki-san~"
Yoshimura Otomo explained with a smile,
"If this program can select a few potential singers for tree friends, it will be worth it!"
"By the way. If the mentor's company is interested, they can actually sign team members."
In this case, the company behind the mentor will also actively participate~
NTV director Koga Ryuta and director of the production bureau Yukiho Kasahara both looked at the project plan carefully, with Otomo Yoshimura standing beside them to make comments from time to time.
Putting aside other appearances, the most important thing for a professional singer is actually the voice.
Fair and open without too many shady secrets
sincere
Both people from NTV nodded in recognition. Even though Kasahara Yukino has so many years of experience in program production, he also believes that this program has great potential.
"Director Yoshimura." After more than half an hour, Director Koga Takata closed the planning book, "This is a very interesting project."
Kasahara Yukino was also beside him and continued:
"Who is the planner of this show?"
"Haha, this was a random thought while we were chatting, and that's why I made a plan." Otomo Yoshimura gave the credit to Shuyou's senior executives, "Speaking of which, Naoki-san was the first to propose a judgment based solely on singing. standard."
"Hahaha, that's it~"
Kasahara Yukino responded with a smile,
"No wonder the idea is so novel~"
"So, Kasahara-san and Director Koga, what do you think of this project?"
"It's very interesting. However, the specific form of cooperation needs to be discussed." Director Koga Ryuta did not play tricks, "About the future cooperation terms and so on."
"But that's all a trivial matter~ Just let the legal affairs handle it~"
"Haha, that's good~"
Yoshimura Otomo laughed, and the station director nodded. Then the cooperation was settled, and then it was about execution.
Koga Ryota smiled and said:
"Minister Fangcun, it's getting late. I know there is a good restaurant nearby. Let's have a meal together. Let NTV do its part as a landlord~"
Kasahara Yukino advised together:
"I also want to have a good chat with Minister Fangcun, but I haven't had the chance before."
"Hahaha, then it's better to be respectful than to obey~" Yoshimura Otomo also nodded with a smile and said to Kasahara Yukiho, "We will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future~"
"Yes, yes. Shuyou and NTV must cooperate more~"
Both parties are very happy. Yoshimura Otomo decided to cooperate with NTV because it was the first time. He didn't expect it to be so smooth, even though he had never cooperated before.
NTV, on the other hand, was pleasantly surprised and pleased to finally cooperate with Shuyou.
I originally thought that NTV was squeezed out by Tree Friends and several other TV stations, but they have never cooperated with each other before. And this project looks very interesting.
"The Sound of Neon". Will it make waves in the entertainment industry~
