Chapter 85 The plan of the year lies in spring
If this is the case, you don't have to worry too much about the schedule.Basically filming and recording can be interspersed.

Moreover, a season of Japanese TV dramas generally only has about 11 episodes, so the shooting time will not be too long.

"So if there are no accidents, Akiyama-kun's office may receive an audition invitation recently. Of course, the final result depends on the opinion of the producer Sang."

The final choice of the main characters in a Japanese drama is still decided by the producer. Directors like Shunji Iwai or Kozo Nagayama can only be recommended. Of course, this is enough for Kazuki Akiyama.

Moreover, Kozo Nagayama’s family also has a certain relationship with Fuji TV. Generally, as long as the recommended characters do not deviate from the setting, most producers will sell face and adopt them.

Hello, me, hello, everyone, this set is also applicable in RB.

"Iwai-san is very considerate of recommending me." Kazuki Akiyama didn't care. Of course it's good if it can be done. Even if it doesn't work out, it can be left for later. Who can guarantee such a thing.

"Iwai-san is still planning to direct a few more TV dramas this year?" After having another drink with Shunji Iwai, Kazuki Akiyama asked about his plans.

He also always knew that Shunji Iwai had never given up his movie dream, but he didn't know when he would start preparing for his debut.

Shunji Iwai put a piece of salmon sashimi into his mouth, took another sip of sake, and then spoke about his plan.

"Hay, I still have contracts for two TV dramas this year. I won't accept any other invitations after filming. Let's rest for a while."

"Oh~" After hearing his answer, Kazuki Akiyama showed an interested expression instead, "Iwai-san started preparing for his first movie?"

"Hey" Shunji Iwai took a sip of his wine and said with some embarrassment, "Sure enough, I know I can't hide it from Akiyama-kun.

I plan to start planning well in the second half of the year, but if I really want to start, it may be next year. "He said this in his mouth, but his expression had already shown an expression of eagerness to try.

"Congratulations, Iwai-san." Kazuki Akiyama and Takumi Ishida raised their glasses to drink with him.

Satisfied with wine and food, when the three of them came out of the izakaya, it was already the end of the month.Shunji Iwai was sent away, and the two of them drove back again.

Kazuki Akiyama sat in the car, staring blankly at the passing scene outside the car window.

"Kazuki-kun, if you really enter the film crew later, please take it seriously, and please try your best to meet the requirements of the director-san or producer-san, even if they may seem unreasonable."

Ishida Takumi, who was driving, looked ahead and said something without warning.

After recovering, Akiyama Kazuki smiled, "I understand, Takumi-kun."

Kazuki Akiyama knew why Ishida Takumi said this. He was worried that he, who has always been a singer, could not adapt to the working mode of the crew.

Because most Japanese TV drama crews basically require actors to perform in person. Playing ugly, getting wet in the rain, freezing, and wrestling are commonplace, and there are no substitutes or cutouts at all.

Doing these things is just the basic quality of an artist, not even dedication.

If any artist fails to meet these requirements and is labeled as unprofessional, then his acting career will basically be over and he will be excluded from the entire circle.

Ishida Takumi was also worried that Kazuki Akiyama did not understand the unspoken rules, so he said this.After all, singers and actors are two different professions, and both have their own unwritten rules.

...

This morning, Kazuki Akiyama came to the headquarters of Roppongi Being on a rare occasion.As for why I come here, of course it is because of the day when ORICON's weekly singles list is released once a week.

However, because the data update was delayed for a few days during the New Year's holiday, although the office and the record company will receive the relevant data in advance, they will not be available until the end of the year.

There was a "click" sound, and the fax machine slowly spit out a blank sheet of paper.Nagato Taiko took it over and scanned it, and handed it to Kazuki Akiyama with satisfaction.

After receiving the fax, Kazuki Akiyama saw three followed by a series of numbers at a glance, and counted a total of six digits, which means that during the week of the New Year holiday, his latest single sold a total of three 10,000+ copies .

Compared with the sales of 10,000+ copies on the first Friday, the decline is not very large.However, it is also understandable, after all, there will be a wave of purchases in the New Year itself.

Moreover, his singles and seasons are also suitable for the occasion, coupled with the publicity of MUJI's chain stores all over RB, and the word-of-mouth fermentation of Super Live performances.

All this keeps his works from the public's attention, and with the popularity, there will naturally be sales.

Counting the week before last, the sales volume of this single has reached almost 10,000+ copies, and this is the sales volume of the two weeks before the release.

It is foreseeable that if it is fast, it will reach a million sales next week, and if it is slow, it will be almost a certainty within two weeks.

Nagato Taiko is now quite calm in the face of Kazuki Akiyama's sales of more than [-] in a single week.After all, there was a stimulus of [-] yuan before, and now there are a lot of Buddhism.

Since signing Kazuki Akiyama, his performance has surprised himself more and more.His popularity has been cemented by the success of three consecutive singles.

Thinking of this, Nagato Taiko leaned back in his chair, "Akiyama-kun, do you have any ideas for the next stage of work?"

"Eh, thoughts? President Nagato is referring to..." Kazuki Akiyama asked thoughtfully.

"Album." Nagato Taiko took a sip of his coffee.

"Album?" Hearing Taiko Nagato's question just now, Kazuki Akiyama already had some guesses, but he didn't expect Taiko Nagato to want him to prepare an album so early.

"Yes." Taiko Nagato seemed to see Kazuki Akiyama's hesitation, and said in a persuasive manner, "With Akiyama-kun's current popularity and the performance of a few singles, it is enough to support the release of an album."

Kazuki Akiyama also understands this truth, and it is natural to release an album now, but he thought of what Shunji Iwai told him about filming two days ago.He still said politely,

"President Nagato, I want to release another single before preparing for the album."

"Oh? Akiyama-kun might as well tell you what you think."

"The album will definitely be released this year." Kazuki Akiyama confirmed first.

"But it's still a bit too hasty to release the album now, and I still want to use my own songs for this album, there are still one or two singles, and now it's a little bit of a plan.

But it still takes a little time, so I plan to release another single before preparing for the production of the album, and use this time to finalize the remaining songs. "

Taiko Nagato tapped the table lightly with his knuckles, pondered for a while, if they all used Kazuki Akiyama's own songs, it would be a bit early to start preparing the album for the three singles.

After all, creating about ten original songs for an album is not done overnight, and based on his understanding of Kazuki Akiyama.

Although he seems to be very talkative at ordinary times, he has always had his own opinions on music, especially when it comes to the selection of singles, he rarely changes his mind.
