Chapter 554 552, You Fell Down Before I Even Tried!

Early the next morning, Naoki Nagayama got up early with red eyes. He had to quickly finish writing the novel he recalled yesterday, otherwise he would have to dream every night during this period.

The key point is that when I dream about the novel "Tomorrow's Me Dates Yesterday's You", it's like a time loop, repeating the same plot. A good romance movie almost turns into a horror movie.

After touching Gentaro's head and grabbing some bread and milk, Nagayama Naoki ran to the study room on the second floor and started writing furiously. Oh, no, he also owns a typewriter now.

The crisp sound of the keys sounded repeatedly, and it was very rhythmic. I heard that in the future, someone would record this sound as white noise to soothe the nerves.

Nagayama Naoki is immersed in coding and cannot extricate himself.

"I've always longed for someone to suddenly say they fell in love with me at first sight."

"That's what it means to fall in love with someone~"

Time passed quickly in the morning, and before Nagayama Naoki knew it, it was already noon. The empty stomach reminds Naoki Nagayama that it’s time to replenish energy~

"Dingling bell~"

Nagayama Naoki, who was about to pick up the phone to order some takeaway, was shocked by the sudden ringing of the phone and retracted his hand. He picked up the phone two seconds later:

"Moses Moses, this is Yamazakura-in."

"Naoki-san" came an angry voice from the phone, it was Otomo Yoshimura, "Did you forget something?"

"Huh?" Naoki Nagayama, whose mind has been confused since last night, really can't remember, "What's the matter?"

"Today is the day when Chikoko-chan's new album is released!" Yoshimura Otomo said helplessly.

"Ah indeed."

I promised before that I would stand up for Chikako Aoyama.

"The recording of the morning program has ended. In the afternoon, there will be an interview with a music magazine. Don't forget Naoki-san!"

Since he had already promised, Naoki Nagayama couldn't break his promise, so he just ate a bowl of ramen and drove to the studio.

Almost all the staff in the lobby have returned. The full staff felt very lively, and everyone greeted Naoki Nagayama enthusiastically.

After walking into the office, they found that in addition to Yoshimura Otomo and Itou Shuichi, even Komori Masataka was also there.

"Masaka-kun, Shuichi-san, Otomo-san."

"Naoki-san, what's wrong?" Komori Masataka noticed Nagayama Naoki's face was exhausted and his eyes were bloodshot, "Did you stay up all night?"

"It's nothing. I just didn't sleep well."

Yoshimura Otomo looked at the image of his friend in high spirits and weak body, and felt that it looked very familiar: "Naoki-san is... writing a novel?"

By the way, Nagayama Naoki will also have a similar situation when writing movie scripts or songs, but the symptoms will be much milder. When writing novels, it seems to consume more mental energy, so it will seem more obvious.

The first few times I wrote a novel, it was always like this!

Naturally, Nagayama Naoki would not undermine himself at this time: "Ah, yes, I had some inspiration yesterday."

Yoshimura Otomo's lips moved slightly. For a writer, inspiration is very important, especially for an inspiration-oriented player like Naoki Nagayama. Would it be a small gain to let him be interviewed together at this time?

"Naoki-san, why don't we postpone today's interview~"

Naoki Nagayama waved his hand quickly: "Diabu, I have already conceived the outline, the rest is just code. It won't delay anything~"

Then he turned around and asked, "Shuichi-san, Masakao-kun, what were you talking about just now?"

Only then did Itou Shuichi speak: "About "Love Letter" to compete for the Blue Ribbon Film Award and the Film Academy Award."

"Are you sure you want to use this one to make an impact?" Nagayama Naoki asked with a smile, "What about "Hot Blood High School"?"

"Although that movie has a lot of influence, it has no advantage when it comes to awarding awards. It's better to use "Love Letter" to impact." Shuichi Itou said, "This time, the best director, best screenwriter, and most It is difficult to try for Best Actress and Best Actor in a good movie, but Ms. Akina Nakamori can also compete for the Best Newcomer Award.”

Masataka Komori echoed from the side: "Yes, the competition for the best actor and actress is too stressful. Ken Takakura's "Antarctic Story" and Ms. Yuko Tanaka's "The Mysterious Case of Amagikyo" are both very competitive. "

Itou Xiu glanced at Nagayama Naoki again and again: "Naoki-san, don't compete with Takakura Ken for Best Actor. You can't compete~"

"If Ms. Akina Nakamori wants to compete for the best newcomer, she might be able to get support from the Sasakawa Foundation behind Kenin, which will also be good for our movie."

Nagayama Naoki was a little speechless when he heard what he said before. When did he want to compete for the best actor? You are obviously just talking to yourselves!

But when I heard the following, "It's true, Akina wants to compete for the best new artist, and she feels very competitive." Nagayama Naoki looked at Yoshimura Otomo, "Otomo-san, help me make an appointment with Kenyin's President Hanami in the next few days. , let’s discuss it.”

I have to concentrate on finishing the novel these days!

Just when the few people were chatting, there was a knock on the office door, and Takeharu Kawahara walked in with Chiko Aoyama.

"Naoki-san, Shuichi-san, Otomo-san, and Masataka-san, good afternoon~"

The young and beautiful Chiko Aoyama greeted everyone one by one with a bright smile. It seemed that the cold air was warmed up. No wonder Chiko Aoyama is becoming more and more popular now.

"Chikoko-chan, you're here~" Otomo Yoshimura's old face also burst into a smile, "Wait a moment, we will go for the interview."

"Hi~" Chiko Aoyama walked up to Naoki Nagayama and whispered, "Naoki-san, thank you for being interviewed with me this time!"

"Haha, this is a win-win situation, of course we have to do it~" Nagayama Naoki explained with a smile.

People in the office continued to chat about some work that needed to be communicated in the recent period, and then Fangcun Otomo was ready to take people to the interview location.

The joint interview with Aoyama Chikako was scheduled in an art workshop in Ikebukuro. The host was Wada Akiko, whom Naoki Nagayama didn't know, but was well-known in the entertainment industry. This singer with great singing skills, as well as A program host known for his outspokenness and outspokenness.

"This is the first time we meet. I am Akiko Wada/Naoki Nagayama/Chiko Aoyama. Please give me your advice." Because everyone did not know each other, they all greeted each other when they arrived at the art workshop.

Because it is not a live show, the recording process can be relatively relaxed. After chatting for a while, the recording started in the exhibition hall of the art workshop.

"Naoki-san, was the song "Thank You" specially composed for Chikoko-chan?" After a few introductory questions, Wada Akiko immediately got into the topic.

Nagayama Naoki thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "Actually, it's not true. This song was created after I encountered a sentimental situation."

Akiko Wada was surprised. The original purpose of this interview was to tie up Naoki Nagayama and Chiko Aoyama for hype, but this answer was really unexpected.

"So, this song actually has nothing to do with Chikoko-chan herself?"

"I can't say that. I think Chikoko-chan's voice condition and singing ability are very suitable for this song. In fact, most of my songs are composed in advance, and then I find the right singer." Nagayama Naoki smiled. He replied, "So. From this point of view, I have never dared to call myself a lyricist and composer."

"What are you talking about!" Akiko Wada exclaimed in surprise, "If Naoki Nagayama, who has more than a dozen songs at the top of the Oricon charts, doesn't dare to call himself a lyricist and composer, then who else in the entire entertainment industry dares to do so?! "

"Haha, Qiu Zisang is too exaggerated~"

After laughing with each other for a few words, Akiko Wada continued to show off her bold style and turned to Chikoko Aoyama: "Actually, Chikoko-chan knew Naoki-san before her debut, right?"

"Hi!" Chiko Aoyama responded, "Naoki-san often passes by my family's shop."

"Ah, he looks like the big brother next door~" Wada Akiko continued to ask, "At that time, you really liked this handsome brother next door, right?"

Chiko Aoyama's face began to twist: "Nothing~"

"Lie!" Wada Akiko looked at Naoki Nagayama next to her and said, "How could a young and pregnant girl not like such a handsome neighbor like Naoki-san!"

Naoki Nagayama could only smile awkwardly next to him

Under Wada Akiko's repeated questioning, Aoyama Chikako could only say, "I must like it a little~"

"Aha, I'm just telling you!" Akiko Wada seemed to have discovered a buried secret, "Now that I see Nagayama Naoki-san, I'm a little tempted~"

Nagayama Naoki continued to smile awkwardly

But he was roaring in his heart: "Hey Bai, if these are played out, it will be hard to explain!"

However, after these questions, the act of binding the two together for publicity was almost done. The following interview process was mainly about a few songs from Chiko Aoyama's new album, and then there was a session of performing the songs.

Chiko Aoyama, who changed into a gorgeous singing outfit, already looks a bit like a first-class idol.

"Naoki-san, it seems that all the idol singers under your company will get a debut song from you?" Wada Akiko seemed to have a reaction, "I said before that only when I meet the right person will I give the song. It means that there are still many backup songs. song?"

"Well, there are indeed one or two songs." Naoki Nagayama felt that there was nothing bad to say. After all, musicians don't know how many drafts they have in private.

"If this is the case, if there is anything suitable for me, please feel free to teach me!"

Akiko Wada actually started her career as a singer. Her magnetic voice is very distinctive, and she even won the Japan Record Awards' Best Vocal Award. She is also very interested in excellent songs!

"Haha, if there is, I will definitely contact Qiuzi Sang!"

The recording process was very smooth. Naoki Nagayama and Chiko Aoyama, under the guidance of Akiko Wada, answered the questions smoothly and created explosive points. With Naoki Nagayama's current popularity, I believe it will cause a lot of discussion when it is played. .

After refusing Takeharu Kawahara to send him back to the studio, Naoki Nagayama took a taxi directly back to Yamazakura-in. This afternoon’s interviews were actually conducted in a slightly groggy state. The most important thing at the moment is of course continuing to write the novel. !

The clicking sound of typing sounded in the study again. As rows of words were written on the white paper, the story of "Tomorrow's Me and Yesterday's You" gradually became complete.

The time experienced by a pair of lovers is inverse to each other. Your past is her future, and your future is her past. The joy and joy you remember yesterday are the tomorrow she has never lived.

This kind of love is destined to be tragic and sad from the beginning.

From the age of 5 to 35, they can only meet once every five years. They can only have a 30-day relationship when they are 20 years old~

Nagayama Naoki wrote so intently that Yotaro could only rest his head on his front paws, looking up at his master from time to time, looking forward to when he would stop to play with him.

Dinner was very simple ramen. Naoki Nagayama, who had been coding hard all day, had no energy to make an exquisite dinner.

His wrists were cramped, and Naoki Nagayama had to stop and take a short rest at night.

After masturbating for a while, Naoki Nagayama poured a cup of hot tea and sat on the sofa in the living room and started watching a variety show.

The latest episode of "Night Hit" was playing on the TV screen. Nagayama Naoki held Nyaotarou in his arms and watched the various singers on the show offering their singing voices.

"This should have been recorded a year ago, right? Akina should appear in this episode." Nagayama Naoki stroked Nyaotaro along the fur, making the big orange make a purring sound.

Soon, I saw Akina Nakamori appear, wearing a trendy suit and singing costume, and began to sing "North Wing" which was just released in the new year.

The song "North Wing" has been released, and Akina is currently promoting it on various programs, plus some follow-up promotions for "Love Letter", and is so busy that she doesn't even have time to make a phone call with Naoki Nagayama.

Poor Naoki Nagayama, he hasn’t spoken to his girlfriend for three days~

However, the momentum of this new song is obviously overshadowed by "Snow Flower". Many fans will choose between these two when buying records.

When "THE BEST TEN" is released on Thursday, we will know the ranking of "Snow Flower" in the first week of the new year.

"If Akina is invited to sing "Snow Flower" by then, the people at Warner Pioneer will be angry~"

Just when Nagayama Naoki was making the slander, Warner Pioneer's Tanaka Yoshiaki hung up the phone angrily.

"What's wrong?" a colleague asked.

"The people from Yanyin called me and told me that they had received an invitation from "THE BEST TEN". Akina's two latest songs were both on the list. But since "Snow Flower" was number one, they wanted to Akina-chan only performs "Snow Flower".

Tanaka Yoshiaki was very angry. Naoki Nagayama clearly did not promote the song "Snow Flower" at all, but with the continued popularity of "Love Letter" at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, the theme song still rushed like a rocket. Ranked No. 1 on the Oricon Chart and No. 1 on "THE BEST TEN".

"There's nothing we can do about it. "THE BEST TEN" can't let Akina-chan walk out of the revolving door twice!"

My colleague advised me, “It’s just a publicity opportunity, let’s give it to Tree Friends for screening!”

"How can it be repaired? I'm not just angry about this opportunity!" Tanaka Yoshiaki looked unwilling, "What really makes me angry is that Nagayama Naoki obviously didn't do anything, but we lost!"

"You fell down before I could do anything!"

Inexplicably, Tanaka Yoshiaki seems to have heard such ridicule~

"Yoshiaki-san, it seems that the song "Snow Flower" will compete with "North Wing" for a long time." The colleague looked at Tanaka Yoshiaki, "There may be more and more such things in the future."

"Don't underestimate us Warner Pioneer!" Tanaka Yoshiaki roared in a low voice, "We will definitely find a way!"

Then the colleague looked at his team leader and hurried to Si Linchao's office.

"Hey, I thought there was some good way, why not call for help?"
