“It’s actually a science fiction novel~”
In the familiar reception room, Kuniharu Morikawa looked at the draft in his hand, feeling somewhat surprised and somewhat relieved.
Naoki Nagayama, who always finished a draft only once, finally brought the draft of his novel to discuss with his senior editor today, which surprised and delighted Kuniharu Morikawa.
I've finally found my use for Naoki-san! I'm finally no longer just a proofreader and printer!
"Yeah. I wanted to try something new, so I tried writing it~"
Naoki Nagayama'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. It can hardly be regarded as a future best-selling novel.
I was a little worried whether it 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 Bangzhi-san to take a look at the draft and see if there is anything wrong with the novel. Please give me some suggestions so that I can make some adjustments!"
"Jurassic Park~"
On the thick manuscript paper, the bold and thick title of the book is extremely eye-catching.
When I saw the name of the novel, I was immediately attracted by the strong contrast and conflict between the disappeared Jurassic and the modern park.
"It's a story about the prehistoric Jurassic era. Is it like the plot of "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" that goes back to the past? But going back to the prehistoric era is indeed novel."
"Ah, no~" Naoki Nagayama interrupted quickly, "It's about the near future. It's about gene cloning."
"A future scientist extracted a drop of ancient dinosaur blood from mosquito amber tens of millions of years ago, and cloned a prehistoric dinosaur from it. Such a story."
Listening to Naoki Nagayama's story, Kuniharu Morikawa's ears were first filled with mysterious terms such as "gene", "cloning" and "bioengineering technology", and then filled with dinosaur species such as "Tyrannosaurus Rex", "Pterodactyl" and "Allosaurus".
I just felt that the manuscript in my hand seemed to be something extraordinary. Once I opened it, I would be sucked into a bizarre world.
So he opened the first page.
Then the second page
Page 3.
After an unknown amount of time, Morikawa Kuniharu felt his neck was so sore that he could not stand it any longer. He raised his head and saw that there was only an empty table in front of him.
"What am I?"
Morikawa Kuniharu came back to his senses and was a little frightened for a moment.
"Where's Naoki-san?! Naoki-san is missing! Where did Naoki-san go?"
Thinking of this, he immediately stood up and rushed to the outside of the reception room, where he saw the lady with glasses 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 this morning?"
"morning?"
"Yeah." Nozawa Reiki suddenly patted her head, "Oh, that's right."
"When Naoki-san left, he told me that Chief Editor Morikawa was carefully reviewing the novel, so he left first. I'll notify him when Morikawa-san is done with it."
Morikawa Kuniharu nodded in confusion:
"Ah, let Naoki-san know. I understand~"
Then I looked out the window. The sky outside was already getting dim. It was almost evening!
I feel my mouth is very dry, but my stomach is not hungry, but my whole body is weak. This means I am too hungry.
He didn't even have lunch!!!
"Have I been watching this for four or five hours straight?!"
"Mr. Morikawa?" Nozawa Reiki's call brought Morikawa Kuniharu back to his senses. "What are you holding in your hand? It looks heavy."
"Ah? On your hand?"
Kuniharu Morikawa raised his hand and saw a thick stack of manuscript paper!
The weight in his hand reminded Kuniharu Morikawa that the length of this novel was astonishing. A novel of more than 500,000 words was already a super long novel in this era!
He actually didn't let go when he ran out just now, and subconsciously brought the novel out with him
Looking at the novel that he had only read less than one-third of, Kuniharu Morikawa had a very complicated expression.
"Naoki-san asked me to give you my opinion," Morikawa Kuniharu said with a wry smile, "Who am I to give you any opinion?"
For this kind of science fiction masterpiece, he could only enjoy reading it and then keep clapping and shouting "Six, Six, Six"!
"It seems that everyone still underestimates Naoki Nagayama's writing potential!"
"Jurassic Park. It seems like it will cause 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 they are busy recording the semi-annual deluxe edition of "Night Hit";
TBS TV's "Fighting People" has attracted many viewers and is currently being recorded in full swing;
In addition to the music variety show "Music Station", TV Asahi is planning to shoot long-running criminal investigation and medical dramas.
Tokyo TV, as always, focuses on animation and late-night dramas.
As the earliest commercial TV station, Nippon Television (NTV) has always been ranked lower than TBS and Fuji TV in terms of ratings. In recent years, even Asahi and Tokyo TV have dared to compete with it.
The director of Nippon Television, Ryuta Koga, has been troubled by this.
"Is Japanese television going to decline under my leadership?"
Looking at the cute little bear logo on the desktop, 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 desktop.
"Master Koga~"
The office door was knocked open, and Kasahara Yukinori, the chief producer of Nippon Television, walked in.
"Director, Shuyou Group wants to cooperate with us on a program!"
"Shuyou Group?" Koga Ryuta was stunned for a moment, "Nagayama Naoki?"
"Hi, it's Naoki Nagayama's company!" Kasahara Yukinori said excitedly, "I just received a call from Yoshimura, the director of the Shuyou Group, who wants to talk to the senior executives of the Nippon Television Production Department about co-producing a variety show."
Hearing this, Director Koga Ryuta also became interested.
You know, the Shuyou Group has cooperated with Fuji, TBS, Asahi and even Tokyo, but has never dealt with Japanese TV stations. He wondered if Japanese TV stations had offended the Shuyou Group at some point.
"What kind of show?"
"It's probably a music program. We'll have to wait until Director Fangcun comes over to discuss the details."
Kasahara Yukinobu only received a forwarded call.
"Director Koga, are there any guidelines for this collaboration?"
In Japan, television stations are almost a monopoly industry. Generally speaking, there are certain conditions for cooperating with television stations to produce programs.
For example, advance payment for production, sample review, modification according to the TV station's requirements, deduction of money if the ratings do not meet the standards, etc.
"Well"
Koga Ryuta thought for a moment.
"I'll also attend this meeting!"
"Eh? The director is attending directly?" Kasahara Yukari asked in surprise, "Isn't it a bit too grand?"
"After all, we are facing Shuyou~" Koga Ryuta sighed, "If Japanese TV doesn't lower its standards, it may not even be able to compete with Tokyo TV!"
Japanese TV stations also want TV dramas like "Love Century" and "Tokyo Love Story"! They also want music shows like "Music Station"!
"Hi!" Kasahara Yukinori nodded, "Then I'll go notify the General Affairs Department."
Since the station director is going to attend, he must naturally raise his level. At least the best reception room at the headquarters must be reserved, and the venue for the reception must also be booked.
"Minister Yoshimura!"
Kasahara Yukari and Yoshimura Otomo had met each other several times before, and they stood at the door to welcome Shuyou and his group.
"Director Kasahara, it's been a long time since I last saw you."
Yoshimura Otomo extended his hand and shook hands warmly, with a warm smile on his face.
"How could I trouble you to come and greet me?"
"No, no, it's as it should be~"
Yoshimura Otomo, along with two assistants, followed Kasahara Yukinori toward the headquarters of Nippon Television. As the first commercial television station in Japan, Nippon Television had its glory days, and this headquarters was full of modern flavor.
"Director Yoshimura, our director, Ryuta Koga, is already waiting for you in the reception room~" Kasahara Yukari said as they walked in, "I mentioned before that a friend of Shuyou wants to come and discuss cooperation, and the director attaches great importance to it~"
"Director Koga?" Yoshimura Otomo was a little surprised. He just wanted to get some initial contact with Japanese TV stations today. "How can this be so embarrassing?"
"Hahaha, just chatting casually~"
Arriving at the spacious reception room, Kasahara Yukinori immediately acted as an introducer:
"Minister Yoshimura, this is the director of our Nippon Television, Ryuta Koga!"
"Director, this is the head of the Shuyou Group, Yoshimura Otomo."
"Nice to meet you. I am" X2
When two people meet for the first time, they naturally bow to each other and exchange business cards. It's a social ritual.
It took a while to do it properly:
"Director Yoshimura, what project is your company working on recently?" Koga Ryuta offered tea and then started chatting casually.
"Isn't this already known to everyone?" Yoshimura Otomo said with a smile, "In addition to making a movie, Shuyou's biggest project this year is the preparation for the Tokyo International Film Festival."
Nippon Television also participated in the preparations for the Tokyo Film Festival, and they just casually talked about the progress. Then Director Koga Ryuta said:
"Aren't you heading towards the animation industry recently?"
"Ah, this"
Yoshimura Otomo didn't reveal all the details, nor did he link today's purpose to anime.
"This project is in charge of Shuichi Idou from the film department. A comic has been published recently. It seems to be quite lively~"
"Oh? Director Yoshimura is not in charge of this business?" Kasahara Yukinori was a little surprised.
"Hahaha, I'm mainly responsible for artist business here." Yoshimura Otomo took the opportunity to bring up the purpose of his visit today, "Isn't it because we want to cooperate with NTV on a talent show? We want to select more potential artists for the Shuyou Group."
"A talent show? Aren't your company's Kudo Shizuka, Aoyama Chikako, and Ito Junko all very famous?" Kasahara Yukinori said, "The other agencies are very envious~"
"Alas~" Yoshimura Otomo sighed pretentiously, "The idol industry is becoming increasingly sluggish. Judging from the past few years, the idol market has been saturated. We at Shuyou want to train more professional singers in the future."
Koga Ryuta heard it:
"Minister Fangcun wants to cooperate with a singing talent show?!"
"Yes!" Yoshimura Otomo originally came to discuss the program, and signaled his assistant to take out the project plan. "The program we want to create is temporarily named 'Neon Voice'."
“Neon Sound.”
Hearing this name, Koga Ryuta and Kasahara Yukari were both a little fascinated. Nowadays, in order to be fresh and international, the names of Japanese variety shows are either mixed with English, or use uncommon characters, or are difficult to understand.
I haven't heard such a normal program name for a long time~
Opening the project plan, there are the selling points of this program and the general process. At the same time, Yoshimura Otomo also explains:
"This program is specifically designed to select singers, or in other words, the main criterion for judging singers with potential is just one: 'voice'!"
“So we use a blind listening method, without looking at the singer’s face, image, age or background, and only listen to the contestant’s singing.”
"Only after you get recognition can the mentor turn around. The judging criteria of each mentor are different, but we follow the same principle: if they think the voice is good, it's fine."
"Contestants recognized by multiple mentors have the right to choose their mentors, just like college students today. It depends on the conditions given by the mentors and their own compatibility."
"Finally, the members selected by the mentors will form a team and compete with other mentors. The audience will select the champion team!"
"The final champion will be signed by our Tree Friends Club, and Naoki Nagayama will create the debut song and help publish the album."
In fact, the process of audition, evaluation and signing of champions of "Neon Voice" is similar to the current idol talent show. The main difference is the blind audition, where there is only one criterion for judging: the contestant's singing.
Then, finally, he was signed by Shuyou and Naoki Nagayama created his debut song
"Naoki-san actually wrote the song himself?" Kasahara Yukinori exclaimed, "Other singers will be so jealous when they hear this!"
Naoki Nagayama's songs truly represent 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 the tree friends, it will be worth it!”
"By the way, if the company that my mentor works for is interested, they can actually sign us as a team member."
In this way, the company behind the mentor will also actively participate~
NTV's director, Ryuta Koga, and production director, Yukinori Kasahara, were both looking at the project plan carefully, with Otomo Yoshimura giving suggestions from time to time.
For example, apart from other appearances, the most important thing for a professional singer is his voice.
Fair and open without too much shady dealings
sincere
Both people from NTV nodded in approval. Even though Yukinori Kasahara had so many years of experience in program production, he believed that this program had great potential.
"Minister Yoshimura." After more than half an hour, Director Koga Ryuta closed the plan, "This is a very interesting project."
Kasahara Yukinoshi also continued beside him:
“Who is the planner of this program?”
"Haha, this is something we thought of casually when we were chatting, so we made a plan." Yoshimura Otomo took the credit on the senior management of Shuyou, "Speaking of which, it was Naoki who first proposed the criterion of judging based on singing alone."
“Hahaha, I see~”
Kasahara Yukino responded with a smile,
"No wonder the idea is so novel~"
"So, Kasahara-san, Koga-san, what do you think of this project?"
"Very interesting. But we still need to discuss the specific form of cooperation." Director Koga Ryuta did not play tricks, "Regarding the terms of future cooperation and so on."
"But that's just a small matter~ Let the legal department talk to it~"
"Haha, that's good~"
Yoshimura Otomo laughed and the director nodded, so the cooperation was settled, and the next step was just a matter of execution.
Koga Ryuta smiled and said:
"Minister Fangcun, it's getting late. I know a good restaurant nearby. Let's have a meal together. NTV will also play the role of host~"
Kasahara Yukari advised:
"I wanted to have a good chat with Minister Fangcun, but I never had the chance before."
"Hahaha, then I'd rather obey you than be respectful~" Yoshimura Otomo nodded with a smile and said to Kasahara Yukari, "We will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future~"
"Yes, yes. Shuyou and NTV, we must cooperate more~"
Both parties were very happy. Yoshimura Otomo was very happy because it was the first time he decided to cooperate with NTV on a project and he didn’t expect it to go so smoothly even though they had never cooperated before.
NTV was pleasantly surprised and relieved to finally be able to work with TreeFriends.
I originally thought that NTV was excluded by Shuyou and several other TV stations, so there was no cooperation at all. And this project looks very interesting.
Will "Neon Voice" create a stir in the entertainment industry?
