......
The routine introductory interview ended quickly,
The media's free questions were the main event.
At the end of the year, RB's media had no scruples, especially this time, even the people from *Shukan Bunshun* were invited,
Kadokawa Eiga's influence was indeed great.
......
"Mr. Naoki, the three female leads in this film are all members of the Wild Cats group. What is your relationship with the Wild Cats group?"
As expected, the first question targeted the most attention-grabbing romantic relationships.
Whether affirming or denying, it would ultimately fall into the trap of the reporters, turning into a story that a new handsome star and three faded female idols couldn't avoid telling...
At least *Shukan Bunshun* had done their homework, they had already reported on the Wild Cats group once.
And as public figures, you couldn't offend the media of this era.
Even if you avoided answering, it would be interpreted as an admission.
But Naoki Eiyan wasn't afraid. He had no private relationship with the three members of the Wild Cats group, at most it was a professional one.
So he could speak straightforwardly: "The Wild Cats group is a brand created by our GG Entertainment. Currently, the three members are all artists under GG Entertainment."
"Didn't you know this, *Shukan Bunshun*? When the Wild Cats group first appeared, didn't you write an article about their past and present?"
The reporter from *Shukan Bunshun* was a bit stunned. How could the interviewee counter-question? Shouldn't they just stand there and wait for the great reporter to grace them with their presence?
"Ah, we did write about it, but we still want to understand any new developments. Didn't it say that the Wild Cats group was acquired by BURNING Entertainment? How did they return to GG Entertainment? And what happened to the other two members?"
Naoki Eiyan: "That's true. After BURNING Entertainment acquired them, they found that the Wild Cats group couldn't be operated successfully, so they gave up. However, we at GG Entertainment believed that the artists still had commercial value, so we re-signed them."
"As for the other two members, due to their strengths in singing and image, they were spotted by BURNING Entertainment's planning department and are being developed as mainstream idols."
The reporter from *Shukan Bunshun* was somewhat disheartened. Naoki Eiyan's response was straightforward and the content was clear and reasonable, clearly true information.
But that wasn't what the reporter wanted!!! What about the drama? The cover-ups? The romantic entanglements?
Even if Naoki Eiyan didn't answer, *Shukan Bunshun* had a hundred ways to speculate from the side, but this guy's straightforward answers left no room for maneuver.
"Is it true that the dissolution of the Wild Cats group is related to internal conflicts within the BURNING Entertainment group? Can you reveal anything about this, Mr. Naoki?"
Naoki Eiyan looked at the reporter, who seemed like a greenhorn. You're quite brave, I'll give you that.
"From what I know, the dissolution of the Wild Cats group was due to poor promotional effects, a normal business decision. As for internal conflicts, I suggest you consult sources related to BURNING Entertainment."
But whether you'll get beaten up after consulting is up to your luck...
However, this *Shukan Bunshun* reporter seemed determined to find dirt on Naoki Eiyan.
"Mr. Naoki, there was a report about your relationship with Miss Higuchi Kanako, and you later collaborated on *World's Most Mysterious Stories*. Are you still in a relationship, or have you broken up?"
This guy is really targeting me~
Naoki Eiyan felt that this greenhorn wasn't simple, even digging up articles from obscure magazines.
Matsuzawa Masanori, watching Naoki Eiyan in front of the microphone, thought to himself: "Hmph, didn't expect that, Naoki Eiyan! We meet again~"
Yes, this guy was the paparazzi who snapped the two of them shopping, and he had now jumped to *Shukan Bunshun*, a rapid career move.
The previous report, although published, received no response from either party or their companies, leaving the ambitious paparazzi very disappointed.
He had even given a preview notice before publishing... The feeling of being ignored had always stuck in Matsuzawa Masanori's heart, driving him to grow quickly in the paparazzi industry.
"Will you deny the relationship? Admit a breakup? Heartthrob or scumbag?" Matsuzawa Masanori had already labeled Naoki Eiyan in his mind, no matter how he answered, he would fall into the trap.
Naoki Eiyan decided to cut off the root: "That report was actually fabricated. At that time, we were shooting a commercial about love and wanted to use the scandal to boost our popularity."
???
The reporters present were stunned. Could he say that?
Isn't that an unwritten rule?
How are we supposed to respond?
Matsuzawa Masanori was also shocked.
My article was a fabricated promotional piece?
How did I not know? Who will pay me the 50-cent water army fee?
Looking at Naoki Eiyan, who spoke calmly and confidently,
Matsuzawa Masanori once again recognized the thick-skinned and scheming nature of the entertainment industry.
He suppressed the urge to contradict Naoki Eiyan,
Because he knew that revealing he was the author of the article wouldn't change its nature.
It was indeed a scandalous report, and it did boost the popularity of the two main characters.
As for whether it was fabricated, who cares?
But Matsuzawa Masanori secretly resolved that this person would be his lifelong enemy!
He would definitely expose Naoki Eiyan's true face!
The host hurriedly guided the reporters to interview the next person,
"The next person is a veteran director, Ido Shuichi, responsible for the visual effects and final editing of this film.
Reporters, if you have any questions, you can ask now..."
......
"Ha ha ha ha..."
Among the people watching the preview, an old man couldn't help but laugh,
He said to his companion, Shinoda Masahiro, "Masahiro-san, what do you think? I told you he's an interesting young man..."
"Ha ha, Masaki-san, he's very interesting. The media must be quite frustrated, ha ha ha~"
The two were a pair of Shochiku directors who had come to watch the preview together.
Kadokawa naturally sent out invitations to industry insiders, but whether they would come depended on the directors' moods.
Shochiku's Kurosawa Masaki and Shinoda Masahiro, who had heard about *The Blair Witch Project* beforehand, naturally came to check it out first.
"But this movie is really something~" Kurosawa Masaki sighed, "The realism created by the documentary style is indeed very suitable for horror films."
"In the future, this style will be seen in various films, with many applicable scenes," Shinoda Masahiro added, "The lead actors seem to be amateurs, with average acting skills."
"Ha ha, Masahiro-san, isn't that just right for this film~"
"True, very 'real'~"
