After all, Nakamori Akina was too young, and this hidden mentality of showing off was quickly spotted by Nagayama Kozo.
Just kidding, Nagayama Kozo may not look down on him, he is just an ordinary employee, but he is a well-to-do third-generation rich man. He has lived in luxury since he was a child, so no one has seen him before.
Especially this kind of Qing Dynasty antiques were not seen often when Yongshan was a child.
There is no way, why is my great-grandfather Takeshiro Nagayama a baron, or the first commander of the 7th Division?
When Takeshiro Nagayama served as the first division commander of the 7th Division, he led the army to participate in the Russo-Japanese War. During this period, he visited the land of the Qing Dynasty and gained countless spoils in the war.
Therefore, in Yongshan Gengsanjia, there are not only antiques from the Qing Dynasty, but also many Russian antiques.
However, the Nagayama family declined quickly. After Takeshiro Nagayama, there were no special talents, so they were not eligible to participate in the subsequent war of aggression. Instead, they honestly ran Japanese businesses, which allowed the Nagayama family to create something Fanmingtang.
For example, Nagayama Kozo's father Nagayama Takeomi is one of the owners of Fuji TV and the president of the Shochiku Kai.
Shochikuhui is a long-established film company that mainly operates theaters. It makes relatively few movies, but it has produced many high-quality films.
For example, the series "The Story of Torajiro" was produced by Shochiku Pictures.
However, Shochiku Pictures was not an industry of the Nagayama family at the beginning. The Nagayama family later acquired the company through various methods and transformed the company from a company that only made movies to a company that only made movies. A company that mainly operates theater chains.
In addition to operating theater chains, Shochikukai also co-founded a TV station, Fuji TV.
Nagayama Kozo was not Nagayama Takeomi's only son, nor was he the most lovable, but he was not annoying either.
Therefore, when he was very young, Nagayama Kozo was exposed to many collections at home, and he also went to the homes of other powerful people to appreciate other people's antique collections. In terms of pure vision, it was definitely not comparable to Akina Nakamori.
However, Nagayama Kozo is not a petty person, and he doesn't pay much attention to these things. Therefore, even though he knew that Nakamori Akina was deliberately showing off, he just laughed it off, pretending that he couldn't tell it, and instead praised him sincerely, which was enough. Nakamori Akina face.
Of course, it is not so much to give face to Akina Nakamori as it is to give face to Cao Zhiqiang.
In fact, for someone like Nagayama Kozo, who comes from a wealthy family, he doesn't like female celebrities or entertainers at all.
What he really likes is those talented people, especially talented men.
Cao Zhiqiang is the kind of person he likes, not Nakamori Akina.
Even though Akina Nakamori is quite famous now, it is only for ordinary people. Real rich and powerful people will not look down on this kind of artist.
In fact, Nagayama Kozo is considered good. After all, he is young, well-educated, and has been exposed to a lot of new knowledge and culture. He is also engaged in directing work, so he does not have too many negative views towards artists.
If the other children of Japan's wealthy families were here, they would probably have ridiculed Akina Nakamori for what she did.
"It's amazing. Ms. Nakamori's taste is really extraordinary." Kozo Nagayama took a sip of tea and praised with a smile, "Using top antiques from the Qing Dynasty to make modern top-notch tea has a unique flavor."
Upon hearing this, Akina Nakamori immediately smiled and said, "As long as you like it."
Yongshan Kozo smiled, quickly put down the teacup and said, "Well, when will Cao Sang wake up? Can you wake him up first? I have something very important to tell him."
"Well..." Nakamori Akina hesitated, "Zhiqiang-san doesn't like to be disturbed when sleeping. He likes to sleep until he wakes up naturally. Otherwise, if it's not a particularly urgent matter, you can tell me first and then come back. Shall I tell him again?"
Hearing what Nakamori Akina said, Nagayama Kozo frowned, but still nodded and said: "Okay, I came abruptly, and it's the same with you."
After a pause, Yongshan Kosan said: "I have three things to do here this time.
The first thing is about the ratings of the TV series "101 Proposals".
The second thing is about the filming situation of the new drama "Tokyo Love Story".
As for the third thing, I want to talk to Cao Sang about "The Voice of Japan" in detail. "
At this point, he seemed to feel that he was speaking in a hurry. Nagayama Kozo paused for a moment, then picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. He calmed down for a while, and then took a long breath and said: "Sorry, I just said it was urgent. I'll take it one step at a time." explain."
Immediately afterwards, Nagayama Kozo said seriously: "Let's talk about the first thing first, the ratings of "101 Proposals".
Well, it’s pretty much what I thought. When the first episode was aired yesterday, the ratings soared to 41%, which exceeded original expectations.
Of course, this is also related to the previous publicity.
I think at the beginning, I originally wanted this drama to be broadcast directly last Monday. It was Cao Sang who said that this was not appropriate and that we needed to do preliminary publicity and warm-up first.
So he intercepted several scenes from the play, paired them with the play's theme song, made several one-minute commercials, and paid for them to be broadcast on our Fuji Channel.
In addition, the screenwriter of this drama is Cao Sang, who himself has appeared as a special guest actor, so these commercials immediately aroused heated discussions as soon as they came out. "
After another meal, Yongshan Kozo smiled and said: "To be honest, I really admire Cao Sang's propaganda methods.
Obviously Cao Sang did not perform in the play at all, but in one of the commercials, it was the character played by Cao Sang who met the actor Tatsuro Hoshino in a pub and chatted with each other for a while.
In the commercial that I met by chance in the bar, Cao Sang cleverly transplanted the story from the previously popular movie "Love in the Rain" into it, making Aqiu, the male protagonist played by Cao Sang in "Love in the Rain", and "101 Proposals" "The male protagonist Tatsuro came to meet and talk by chance, as if he had broken through two dimensional walls.
Although I know that Cao Sang did not leave the country in "101 Proposals", others don't know.
Others thought that Cao Sang also appeared in "101 Proposals", and even thought that this TV series was a sequel to the movie "Love in the Rain". "
Upon hearing this, Akina Nakamori smiled: "Ah, of course I know this. This was an idea that Zhiqiang-san came up with on the spur of the moment. What else can I say? The promotional video has nothing to do with the main film. Let's trick the audience into it first. .
Hahaha, I wonder if the audience will be unhappy or protest when Cao Sang does not appear in the drama at the end. "
Nagayama Kozo also smiled, and then said: "Actually, I think the creativity of Cao Sang's commercial is very good.
First of all, the movie "Love in the Rain" is very good-looking, really good.
Although the plot of this movie may be a bit simple, it makes people feel heart-wrenching after watching it, and it can inadvertently arouse their emotions.
The male and female protagonists in the movie have vivid images and sincere feelings, which makes people sincerely hope that they will be together, even if they know that there are many difficulties between them.
In addition, the life experience of the male protagonist in that movie was clearly introduced, but the life experience of the heroine Wen Xue was unclear and very mysterious.
However, many people who have watched this movie believe that the heroine should be a Japanese in China.
Because at the beginning of the film, the heroine Bunyuki said a few lines of poems from the "Man'yoshu" in pure Japanese in front of the male protagonist.
Although this doesn't mean much, it can give people more imagination.
In the commercial, the character played by Cao Sang also calls himself Aqiu, saying that he comes from a far away place.
Although Cao Sang was talking about Aqiu and did not say that he was from China, he called himself Aqiu and said that the woman he liked was once his teacher. Due to various reasons, the two could not be together at that time.
Now, Aqiu comes here just to pursue the woman he loves.
Ah Qiu in the commercial also said that even if he has to cross thousands of mountains and rivers, even if there are many dangers, he will still chase the woman he loves most, and encourages Dalang not to give up, saying that his love is more complicated and difficult than yours. , he is not afraid, your setback is nothing.
A real man must fight for what he loves and move forward bravely. In this case, even if he fails in the end, he will have no regrets for the rest of his life.
You see, although the Aqiu played by Cao Sang in the commercial never admitted that he was the male protagonist Aqiu in the movie "Love in the Rain", his words to comfort Hoshino Tatsuro basically corresponded to those in "Love in the Rain" s story.
But if you think about it carefully, you will find that what Aqiu said in the commercial does not prove anything. He never said directly that he was Chinese, never said that he was from China, and the woman he came to pursue was Wenxue. .
Therefore, even if someone is dissatisfied in the end, it can be said that he is just a passerby who looks like Aqiu and the story he tells is made up casually.
After all, how could one take what a stranger said in a tavern seriously? "
Having said this, Nagayama Kozo sighed: “But, ordinary viewers don’t think so, especially since this is a commercial for a TV series.
Especially since the movie "Love in the Rain" has become so popular recently, there is a figure in the TV series who is suspected to be the movie's male protagonist A Qiu. It is difficult not to suspect that this is a sequel.
It is precisely because of this that "101 Proposals" has made people full of expectations before it was broadcast. The first episode was able to get a terrifying ratings of 41, which is normal.
Although the start is good, I am still a little worried. "
"What are you worried about?" Akina Nakamori asked.
Nagayama Kozo said: "I'm worried that until the end of the TV series, there is no figure of Aqiu in the commercial. The audience will be dissatisfied and make trouble."
Akina Nakamori smiled: "What's the matter? You can use that commercial as an Easter egg in a TV series and broadcast it after the last episode, just like an Easter egg in a movie."
"Eh?" Nagayama Kozo was stunned, "Can you still do this?"
Akina Nakamori was also stunned: "No way, you've never thought about this, right?"
"That's it!" Kozo Nagayama slapped his thigh, "It's all my fault, I was in such a hurry, I really didn't expect it! Yes, you can also make Easter eggs.
Movies can have Easter eggs, and so can TV series.
Understood, I will make Easter eggs from the commercials later, and then broadcast them after the last episode.
However, even so, there is still a suspicion of deceiving the audience. "
Nakamori Akina smiled and shook her head: "I asked Zhiqiang-san about your doubts.
He said this was not deceiving the audience.
After all, the commercial was just a private encounter between the male protagonist and it had nothing to do with the main plot of the TV series.
Moreover, as long as the quality of the TV series itself is excellent, and everyone is moved by the story and the characters in it until the end, they will not care about the fact that Zhiqiang Sang does not appear in the main film of the TV series.
On the contrary, if the quality of the TV series is not good and everyone hates it, even if there is a commercial or an Easter egg starring Zhiqiang Sang, it will not have much effect.
Therefore, the role of publicity is just to let everyone come in first and take a look.
But whether the audience can be retained and whether the audience can watch it patiently depends on the quality of the series itself.
What does excellent quality mean? Zhiqiang Sang told me that the key to whether a movie is good or not is whether the four major elements are done well.
Among these four elements, the first is the storyline, then the characters, the third is the picture, and the fourth is the sound.
The importance of plot and characters is self-evident, followed by pictures and sounds, which are equally important.
The plot of "101 Proposals" itself is very interesting, and the character setting is also good. You already know the picture, and the sound is naturally music. This aspect is Zhiqiang Sang's specialty.
Therefore, "101 Proposals" is a good show in itself. Even without the bonus of "Love in the Rain", it can still become popular based on its strength.
The reason why Zhiqiang Sang wanted to show the commercial before the broadcast, and also made an ambiguous link with the male protagonist of "Love in the Rain", was just to add fuel to the fire in advance, and use the wind of "Love in the Rain" to make the film in advance This drama just gained more attention.
Looking back and waiting for "101 Proposals" to become popular, the content in commercials or Easter eggs will in turn affect the movie "Love in the Rain". People who have watched "101 Proposals" but not "Love in the Rain" will "People who like this movie should go watch the movie again.
This is called mutual achievement, do you understand? "
"Awesome!" Nagayama Kozo nodded, "I really learned something this time! I didn't expect that Cao Sang not only wrote the script well, sang well, directed well, but was also so good at publicity.
Cao Sang has simply seen through people's hearts, so it's no wonder that his writings are so popular.
What's even more rare is that he is only nineteen years old!
To be so powerful at the age of nineteen is like a monster!
I really doubt, how could there be such a person in this world? "
Upon hearing what Nagayama Kozo said, Nakamori Akina also showed a sigh of relief: "Yes, Shiqiang-san is really talented in terms of creation.
And he not only has strong creative ability, but also has strong learning ability.
You know, he didn't have the conditions to learn piano seriously before. He just secretly watched people play and learned secretly, and he got to where he is now! "
"Nani?" Nagayama Kozo's eyes widened, "Are you saying that he secretly learned Cao Sang's piano playing? Did he learn it by himself after watching others play the piano?"
"Yes!" Nakamori Akina nodded seriously, "Not only the piano, but also the guitar and harmonica, he learned them secretly.
His family is very poor, the kind of poverty you can't imagine!
It’s the kind of poverty where even eating is a problem and eating meat is a luxury!
Considering his family conditions and the environment he was in at the time, do you really think he has the conditions to learn this?
So, whether his Japanese or piano, he actually learned it secretly by himself, without any regular teacher at all! "
Nagayama Kozo was stunned for a moment, and then he shook his head: "Monster, he is simply a monster! Mozart back then was nothing more than that."
Akina Nakamori nodded in agreement: "I think so too, but I think Mozart is not as good as Shiqiang-san. At least Mozart can't sing, and he can't write or make movies."
Nagayama Kozo was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded with a smile: "It makes sense, it does make sense!"
After smiling again, Nagayama Kozo said: "But when you say that, I feel relieved."
"Oh?" Akina Nakamori asked strangely, "What are you relieved about?"
Nagayama Kozo sighed and said: "Cao Sang's talent is too amazing, and the pressure on people is too great.
If this is a God-given talent, then it makes sense and we don’t need to stress.
After all, a genius like this is simply not comparable to ordinary people.
We are all normal people, and it is unfair to insist on comparing ourselves with geniuses.
Therefore, if everyone knew that Cao Sang was such a genius, they would not be jealous of him.
After all, everyone will be jealous of an ordinary person who works hard, but not a genius who works hard.
Because for ordinary people, if you work hard, you always feel that you can catch up.
But if a genius is useless no matter how hard you try, why should you be jealous or pursue him?
On the contrary, following the genius and taking advantage of it is what smart people should do, right? "
