After entrusting the selection of actors and other matters to Kozo Nagayama and making an appointment for the next meeting, Cao Zhiqiang left with Akina Nakamori.
After that, Cao Zhiqiang and Nakamori Akina continued to live their otaku life.
To put it simply, Cao Zhiqiang continues to stay at home and write songs and books, while Nakamori Akina continues to play the role of Cao Zhiqiang's wife, responsible for washing, cooking, cleaning the house, and of course eating, sleeping and chatting with her.
Both parties are enjoying themselves so far, doing what they like best, each getting what they need and achieving mutual success.
Originally, Cao Zhiqiang thought that Nakamori Akina was forcing herself. After all, in Cao Zhiqiang's view, this kind of housewife's life seemed to be incompatible with Nakamori Akina, who was synonymous with a rebellious girl.
However, the fact surprised Cao Zhiqiang, that is, Akina Nakamori, who showed a rebellious girl face to the outside world, was a proper home girl, and she especially liked doing housework and cooking food.
On the contrary, Koizumi Kyoko, who appears to be a very good girl to the outside world, is very sloppy in private, and is not taboo on meat and vegetables. She is very creative and can even eat his bananas to get an appetite. On the contrary, Akina Nakamori is always shy in various ways. Can't let go of all kinds of things.
In other words, Akina Nakamori and Kyoko Koizumi are actually two very different people. It is really hard to imagine that these two people are actually good best friends in private.
But if you say this, wouldn't you really become a scumbag?
Forget it, just be a scumbag. Cao Zhiqiang has already given up completely on this.
It's a pity that this kind of leisurely life did not last long.
Three days, only three days later, Tomioka Nobuo came to visit again.
After asking, I found out that it was Nagayama Kozo who found Nobuo Tomioka and told Nobuo Tomioka that he had already conducted a preliminary selection of actors and hoped that Cao Zhiqiang would go and talk to him in person.
The reason why Nagayama Kozo went to Tomioka Nobuo first was because Cao Zhiqiang did not leave his own contact information at that time. The one he left behind was Tomioka Nobuo's. Therefore, Nagayama Kozo had the news, so he could only go to Tomioka Nobuo first. .
The purpose of this is that Cao Zhiqiang likes to be clean and doesn't want Yongshan Gengsan to trouble him at every turn.
Because Cao Zhiqiang knows very well that the casting process is very troublesome. If you want to be serious and responsible, you must watch them one by one. This takes too much time.
Cao Zhiqiang had no interest in interviewing actors one by one, and he had no intention of unspoken rules, so he left all these troublesome matters to Nagayama Kozo.
It was agreed at that time that after Nagayama Kozo's interview, three candidates could be selected, and then Cao Zhiqiang would be chosen.
Cao Zhiqiang is only responsible for selecting the most important male protagonist and the male and female supporting actors who have more roles.
In other words, when choosing roles, Cao Zhiqiang only looks at five people at most, that is, one male protagonist and four main supporting roles. Other supporting roles and road shows are all discussed by Nagayama Kozo and Tomioka Nobuo.
Nobuo Tomioka is Cao Zhiqiang's project leader, and his role is similar to that of an agent, so there will definitely be no mistakes if he comes forward.
In fact, the role of Cao Zhiqiang's manager was originally supposed to be played by Masashi Sada, but unfortunately this man was seriously ill and hospitalized. He is still undergoing intensive treatment and cannot continue to play the role of Cao Zhiqiang's manager.
Next, it is said that Nakamori Akina should be in charge. After all, Nakamori Akina is now the president of Aiyin Office in name and in fact. In theory, she should take on the responsibility of Cao Zhiqiang's agent.
It's a pity that Akina Nakamori is not here. She looks cold and indifferent on the surface, very much like a strong woman, but she is actually bluffing.
At heart, Akina Nakamori is a proper housewife. She likes nothing more than cleaning the room and arranging flowers and plants at home.
Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, it must be for the person Akina Nakamori likes. If not, then it is another matter.
In fact, Cao Zhiqiang had asked Akina Nakamori privately before, but Akina Nakamori said that in fact, her biggest wish was not to be an idol. Those were all lies she had heard from her agency and deceived her fans.
In fact, becoming an idol is just for living, not Nakamori Akina's wish. Her real wish is to find a good man, marry a good family, and then become a happy housewife, just like Midori Kinouchi and Momoe Yamaguchi. .
Yamaguchi Momoe, Cao Zhiqiang knew, had indeed married young and retired, but Kinouchi Midori, Cao Zhiqiang couldn't remember who it was after thinking about it for a long time.
The noun is ranked before Yamaguchi Momoe. It is obvious that she is a more famous person than Yamaguchi Momoe. Unfortunately, Cao Zhiqiang has no idea about this noun.
It wasn't until Akina Nakamori talked about Midori Kinouchi's famous works, "Poetry of a Baseball Madman" and "Caller", that Cao Zhiqiang suddenly realized it.
Cao Zhiqiang still has no impression of the movie "Poetry of a Baseball Maniac", but if you want to talk about "Carl" and the heroine Takasugi Yoko in it, then he is not sleepy, and he can't say that he doesn't recognize it.
Just kidding, the show "Carl" was one of Cao Zhiqiang's father's favorite TV shows in his previous life. Later, during Cao Zhiqiang's high school summer vacation, his father specially found this show and forced him to watch it together.
At first, Cao Zhiqiang was not happy, but after watching it, he quickly fell in love with it.
Especially the heroine Takasugi Yoko, who is pure and cute. She looks similar to the young versions of Lin Chiling and Hu Huizhong. She is extremely sweet. No wonder her father in the previous life, who was much older, still licked her like this and treated an old man who had almost no works. My wife never forgets it.
According to Akina Nakamori, in the mid-1970s, when Midori Kinouchi debuted, she was already at her peak. Although her singing skills were average, her sales were good, and she was the favorite idol of various photo magazines. A regular on the cover, the king of idol photos.
In terms of popularity and popularity of idols at that time, Yamaguchi Momoe at the same time was also inferior. Even Nakamori Akina was also a fan of Midori Kinouchi, that is, a fan.
Akina Nakamori also said that in addition to family factors, the reason why she chose to be an idol was that Midori Kinouchi played a big role because she liked Midori Kinouchi very much and wanted to be that kind of person, so she chose to be an idol.
It's a pity that in 1978, when Midori Kinouchi was at the peak of his career, he fell in love with Juri Goto, a married woman with a three-year-old child. He resolutely knew the three and chose to live with her.
After being photographed by the paparazzi, this girl didn't say hello or even hold a formal farewell ceremony, so she decisively eloped with her to the United States to avoid the limelight.
For this reason, Midori Kinouchi also tricked the office where she worked.
But even so, her original firm was reluctant to deal with her, and instead tried to wipe her ass in various ways, and the two parties did not break up.
What’s even weirder is that this Midori Kinouchi knew who was behind the wheel and ran away to the United States without any responsibility. Her fans still tried to excuse her in various ways. Even passers-by expressed their understanding for this and thought she was a poster child. Tojiri is too bad, Kinouchi Midori is too naive, etc., it is simply a big mistake.
Even Akina Nakamori doesn't think there's anything wrong with her when it comes to Midori Kinouchi now, but admires her courage to be crazy about love.
After hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang finally understood the source of Akina Nakamori's love brain. It turned out to be Yoko Takasugi in Police Dog Carl.
By the way, Cao Zhiqiang now finally understands how crazy fans are.
Compared with the behavior of these fans in Japan at this time, it is not surprising that fans of certain domestic artists in later generations would do various things to excuse the artists.
For example, fans such as Hou Shi Fanfan and Kun Kun. When Cao Zhiqiang saw the mysterious operations of these fans, he was speechless.
But now look at the behavior of fans in Japan, oh, they are exactly the same!
Sure enough, it’s no wonder that some people in later generations said that the Japanese entertainment industry was forty years ahead of the domestic one. At first, Cao Zhiqiang didn’t believe it, thinking that this was an attempt to undermine China. But now it seems that this is true, at least in the fandom industry.
Entertainment is a circle, going round and round again and again.
In addition, Cao Zhiqiang also discovered that Akina Nakamori is not only a homebody who likes to be a housewife, she also likes to gossip, well, gossip about other artists, especially female artists.
For example, a certain female artist gets close to her mentor, a certain female artist gets close to a male student, a certain female artist gets involved with another male artist, and then this male artist becomes one of the faces of another female artist...
Good guy, was the Japanese entertainment industry in the 1980s so chaotic?
It is a pity that Japan is a relatively conservative society and is relatively protective of privacy. Coupled with barriers such as language and culture, and the lack of communication methods such as the Internet, these situations are not clear to mainland China. Even Xiangjiang is not aware of these matters. Not very clear.
Only people in Japan, especially those in the entertainment industry, will know these inside stories through various gossips.
According to Akina Nakamori, unless Japanese artists are careless or do it on purpose, the paparazzi cannot be as unscrupulous as Xiangjiang.
Take Midori Kinouchi, for example. She was photographed in public in the first place, and she felt guilty and ran away, so she confirmed the matter.
If Midori Kinouchi had been more careful, not to go shopping hand in hand with Gotojiri in public, not to be photographed in public, or to have calmed down after being photographed and let the agency do the public relations, it would never have been a success. This is what it looks like now.
It can only be said that the privacy protection in the Japanese entertainment industry is too good, the laws are too good, and the fandom is too stupid, most of these artists have greatly reduced their vigilance, and a large number of giant babies have appeared.
With Midori Kinouchi's psychological endurance, it is actually strange for her to be popular for such a long time. In Cao Zhiqiang's opinion, this is a miracle.
In comparison, the artists in Daxiangjiang at this time, especially the female artists, have much better ability to withstand pressure.
For example, sister Liu Mouling later was dragged to a certain place by a group of men for several hours. When she came back, her face was scarred, but she insisted that nothing was wrong and they were very kind and did not touch her. Do whatever you have to do, and your career is booming.
Of course, this is a story from the past life. At this time, it seems that not many people know Liu Mouling's sister. She can only play the role of a maid in the 1983 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which is just a blink of an eye. The kind that I can't remember.
What really made this sister stand out was the later 1984 version of "The Deer and the Cauldron". However, the filming of this film has not yet started, so it is impossible to talk about her rising star.
There is too much to say. In short, in Cao Zhiqiang’s view, the Japanese entertainment industry at this time is really weird and chaotic. It’s just that these chaos are very hidden under Japan’s economic boom and various privacy protections. Well, non-insiders know very little about the inside story.
To put it bluntly, it is not that the Japanese entertainment industry in the 1980s was clean, but that the Japanese entertainment industry in this era is very good at hiding, and everyone works together to cover each other.
This situation lasted until the 1990s, that is, after the economic bubble disappeared, various deviant trends surged, and various paparazzi began to become more and more brave, or less and less moral, and these strange circles were gradually revealed. tip of the iceberg.
Compared with those people who are very good at playing, the so-called scumbag Kondo Masahiko was really just a noob.
At least Mr. Kondo made it clear that it was strictly a consensual relationship. He did not live with his adopted daughter, who is 33 years younger than him, like Takakura Ken, for seventeen years without making it public.
Even now, Takakura Ken's external image is that of a decent and aloof person, even in private, but who knows that he has a nominally adopted daughter in his family.
If Ms. Oda hadn't revealed the truth later after Ken Takakura's death, how many people in the world would have known the real inside stories about the two of them?
Having said that, later on, various love story films performed by various Japanese female teachers, who were housekeepers, adopted daughters, adopted sons, teachers, etc. looked at the plots and thought they were all made up randomly. , but in fact they all have real portrayals and historical prototypes.
For example, some time ago, there was some inconspicuous news in Bunkyo Ward, which is known as the safest area in Tokyo. It was said that a female teacher at a certain high school actually attacked her male students, and she did it to more than one of her male students, and it lasted for eight years!
Later, there was a boy who was being played with who liked to keep a diary and write down those things. His mother accidentally discovered the diary and then went to the police. This matter was made public.
So, any serious person who keeps a diary will be honest!
Ahem, in short, Tomioka Nobuo's visit this time means that there is news from Nagayama Kozo, and the preliminary selection has been made, allowing Cao Zhiqiang to make the final selection.
Because it was agreed at the beginning that it was Cao Zhiqiang who had the final say as the main actor.
But before going, Nobuo Tomioka took the initiative to gossip with Cao Zhiqiang.
To put it simply, Tomioka Nobuo warned Cao Zhiqiang that the origin of Nagayama Kozo is not simple, so when Cao Zhiqiang faces Nagayama Kozo, it is best to show a little respect and not think that he is really a stupid young man who doesn't understand anything. Therefore, He underestimated the other party.
It turns out that Nagayama Kozo's great-grandfather was Baron Nagayama Takeshiro, a descendant of a proper noble family.
That's all. The key point is that this person's father is Nagayama Takeomi, the president of the Shochiku Club.
As for Shochiku Corporation, it is an old film company, such as Shochiku Pictures.
That's all. The key is that Shochiku Pictures Co., Ltd. is one of the major shareholders in the creation of Fuji TV.
In other words, Nagayama Kozo is a proper second-generation rich man and the son of a senior executive of Fuji TV.
To a certain extent, it is not an exaggeration to say that Fuji TV is Nagayama Kozo’s own property.
It's no wonder that at such a young age, he was promoted so quickly and dared to steal his boss's case.
If it had been anyone else, he would have been kicked out long ago, but if it had been Nagayama Kozo, the son of a chaebol, everything would have been reasonable.
"Huo Huo, he turns out to be the son of a chaebol. It's interesting." Cao Zhiqiang smiled and shook his head, "I didn't expect to meet the legendary descendant of a chaebol so quickly."
"Cao Sang can't be careless." Tomioka Nobuo said very seriously, "No matter what, his status and energy are there, and I heard that this Nagayama Kosan-kun is very popular with his father. , his mother also loves him very much, so he is definitely not an unpopular person.
It's just that Nagayama Kosan-kun doesn't like to rely on family power and likes to stand out on his own ability, so he went to the TV drama production center and started from scratch.
When facing this kind of person, we must not neglect him. Otherwise, he may not think it's okay, but his family may not be easy to talk to. "
Seeing Nobuo Tomioka talking about this matter so seriously, Cao Zhiqiang also put away his smile and nodded seriously: "I understand. When I deal with him in the future, I will try to be more serious and respectful. That's alright. ?”
"This is the best!" Nobuo Tomioka breathed a sigh of relief, "No matter what, as long as we have a good relationship with him, our future prospects are limitless!
So, Cao Sang, I naturally admire your ability, but I admire your luck even more.
Really, this is the first time I have met such a lucky person like you. "
Cao Zhiqiang chuckled: "He who helps himself will be helped by God, and a wise man will strive for self-improvement. If you want good luck, you have to work harder."
After hearing Cao Zhiqiang's casual and perfunctory words, Tomioka Nobuo nodded thoughtfully and said:
"It makes sense. Although Cao Sang is young, he has such a thorough view of things. I am not as good as me!
Sure enough, your success is no accident. People like you deserve to be successful! "
