Chapter 140 “Futureへ” became popular and the official income list was released

In Hideki Hanyu’s view, although the “glasses factory” sparrow is small, it has all internal organs and has all the capabilities from production to sales.

Although Coreland Technology Co., Ltd. started off relying on counterfeit game arcade machines, its production capabilities are not weak, otherwise it would not be possible to get on the big ship of Sega next year.

And relying on selling counterfeit game arcade machines, “Glasses Factory” has also established a simple but comprehensive sales channel.

The most important thing is that the price of this club will not be unbearable for him.

The “glasses factory” at the peak of the bubble was on the verge of bankruptcy because it owed only 15 billion yen in debt.

What about the current “glasses factory”, which doesn’t even hold Sega’s thighs, and spends its days making counterfeit arcade machines. How much is it worth?

The “glasses factory” has declined in later generations, and what is lacking is not other things, but creativity.

But for Hideki Hanyu, the most important thing is creativity.

Thinking of this, he looked at Yasushi Matsuda with even hotter eyes.

At this time, Matsuda Yasushi also found that Hanyu Hideki looked at him very strangely.

Although he didn’t know why, but thinking of the difficult business situation of his club after moving to Tokyo, Matsuda Yasushi still bit the bullet and nodded to Hideki Hanyu in a flattering way.

“I like Saint Seiya created by Mr. Hanyu very much, and I hope to reach a cooperation with Mr. Hanyu.”

Of course Matsuda Yasushi knew that people from Bandai and Sony were present, and it would not be easy for him to obtain the copyright of “Saint Seiya”.

But it didn’t stop him from trying his luck today, after all, he didn’t lose anything if he didn’t succeed.

But in case Hideki Hanyu gets hotheaded and really authorizes “Saint Seiya” to him, wouldn’t Coreland Technology rise directly.

Now who in the circle doesn’t know that “Saint Seiya” is a gold mine, and you can make a lot of money with the authorization.

However, when Hanyu Hideki heard this, he admired the man in front of him for his ability to exploit and his cheeky posture.

In front of the representatives of Bandai and Sony, I dared to ask him to discuss cooperation.

As far as the strength of “Glasses Factory” is now, the small shrimps, I am afraid that those two can be blown away with just a few breaths.

It’s no wonder that later generations can have both sides, first relying on Sega, and then climbing up to Bandai, once the wind and water flourished.

“Mr. Matsuda, the meeting is about to start, let’s talk about cooperation or something at the meeting.”

Hanyu Hideki didn’t take the other party’s words at all.

Even if he has ideas about the “glasses factory”, it is impossible to give the copyright of “Saint Seiya” to the other party.

In addition to making things difficult for money, Xiao Xueguan would not agree to it no matter how much he supported him.

After all, the strength of the “glasses factory” is still weak.

Sure enough, when the meeting started, Matsuda Yasushi, who was just trying his luck, didn’t even have the chance to speak at the meeting.

From the very beginning, Constellation Culture’s cooperation goal was only Bandai and Sony, and the final choice was nothing more than seeing which of the two offered better conditions.

Even if Hitotsubashi Publishing Group cooperates with Bandai all the year round, it will not give up the benefits in vain.

And this kind of negotiation of design interests is obviously impossible to solve in one meeting.

Everyone expressed their opinions and worked hard all afternoon, but the only result was to confirm the time for the next meeting.

Speaking of which, in fact, Bandai and Sony have reached an agreement, that is to kick out the eye-catching “glasses factory”.

Therefore, Hitotsubashi Publishing Group officially notified Matsuda Yasushi after the meeting that Coreland Technology Co., Ltd. would not come to the next meeting.

Looking at the slightly lonely back of the uncle Matsuda Yasushi when he left, Hanyu Hideki didn’t say anything.

This is the case without strength, and he also needs to make the opponent feel hopeless before he can really make a move.

After the meeting ended, Hanyu Hideki left the elementary school with his assistant, and when he arrived at the parking lot and was about to leave, someone found him.

“Mr. Hanyu, don’t know if we can talk alone?”

He was very surprised by the identity of the visitor, who turned out to be a representative of Shueisha.

Thinking that this is the Shogakukan, Hanyu Hideki gave Uemura Reiko a wink without saying a word, and then got into the car by himself.

Seeing this, Uemura Reiko hurriedly took out her business card and handed it to the other party.

“Ms. Hanyu still has something to do today. This is my contact information. If you need anything, you can ask me to make an appointment in advance.”

After Uemura Reiko finished speaking, she bowed and followed Hanyu Hideki into the car and left.

The representative of Shueisha pinched his business card, and did not feel embarrassed by Hideki Hanyu’s ignorance, on the contrary, his eyes were shining with excitement.

Because there is no rejection, it means there is an opportunity.

290 million copies, this is the latest sales volume of “Weekly Shonen Sunday”.

Maybe ordinary people don’t care about this number.

But the representatives in the manga publishing industry understand that this kind of sales figure that surpasses Shueisha’s “Weekly Shonen Jump” is the best result in Sunday’s history.

The root cause of all this, apart from Takahashi Rumiko’s “Fuxing Kid”, “Saint Seiya” is the biggest root cause.

No matter how good-looking “Fuxing Boy” is, it will only continue to strengthen the original fans of “Weekly Shonen Sunday”, and cannot increase the upper limit of Sunday.

But “Saint Seiya” is different. It helped Sunday fill the vacancy in the hot-blooded youth comics and raised the upper limit of Sunday.

What Shueisha is most worried about is that “Saint Seiya” is just the beginning for Hideki Hanyu.

After all, looking at the history of the comics industry, a mature cartoonist can never create only one masterpiece.

Shueisha couldn’t tolerate Hideki Hanyu’s new works, and helped Sunday carve up their share in the hot-blooded youth manga market.

If “Saint Seiya” was serialized on Jump at the beginning, the sales volume would be more than 200 million, which would be the cornerstone enough to help Jump consolidate its position.

So even if Hideki Hanyu has new ideas, JUMP must try to win cooperation.

When they agreed to cooperate with Xiaoxiaoguan, Xiaoxiaoguan should be ready to cooperate with them.

After leaving Shogakukan, Hanyu Hideki did not go home, but went to Sanyou Accounting Firm.

“Why did Mr. Hanyu come here today? Do you have any comments on our service?”

Seeing Hanyu Hideki, Sanyou Akio, the president of Sanyou Accounting Firm, was very enthusiastic.

Not being enthusiastic is not enough, not to mention the tens of millions of commissions he earned from Hideki Hanyu last year.

The celebrity effect brought by Hideki Hanyu alone has helped Sanyou Accounting Firm to expand an unknown number of businesses.

For Akio Mitomo, Hideki Hanyu is already the most important client after the Tanaka family and the Yanai family.

“The purpose of my visit this time is to hope that President Sanyou can help me form a team with acquisition experience.”

Hearing what Hideki Hanyu said, Akio Mitomo immediately became interested.

The acquisition case, whether it is the commission commission or the improvement of the qualifications of the firm after the acquisition is successful, is extremely important to Sanyou Accounting Firm.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Hanyu, I will definitely help Mr. Hanyu build the most capable acquisition team, and ensure that the personnel are all the elites of our firm.”

Speaking of which, Akio Santomo continued to ask, “I wonder if Mr. Hanyu already has an acquisition target, or should we select the scope given by us?”

“I already have an acquisition target, in Nakano District, named Coreland Technology Co., Ltd.”

As he said that, Hanyu Hideki took out the business card Matsuda Yasushi gave him, and handed it to Mitomo Akio.

Sanyou Mingxiong took the business card, “We will immediately form a team and start preliminary investigation and market value evaluation.”

“President Sanyou, I only have one requirement for the preliminary work, and that is to be fast. Whether it is successful or not, you need to give me an answer as soon as possible.”

“Yes, I understand. I will give Mr. Hanyu an answer within a week at most.”

Akio Santomo fully agreed, and then asked, “Can Mr. Hanyu tell me, regarding the acquisition idea of ​​this club, whether he intends to acquire a wholly-owned subsidiary or just hold a controlling stake.”

“Try to buy as much as possible.”

Hanyu Hideki knew that Yasushi Matsuda was a good manager, but it would be difficult for such a person to be inferior to others.

It is impossible to cooperate with each other without paying a price.

But if the price is too high, then he might as well start all over again.

“Yes, I understand.”

Akio Santomo wrote down Hideki Hanyu’s requests one by one.

“Then please ask President Sanyou.”

“Mr. Hanyu, you are being polite, this is what I should do.”

“Then I won’t disturb Sanyou’s president’s work, so I’ll leave.”

“I’ll see Mr. Hanyu leave.”

Akio Santomo respectfully sent Hideki Hanyu out.

After sending Hideki Hanyu away and Akio Santomo returned to the office, he immediately summoned his elite staff.

Yoshihiro Yada, who has been in charge of Hideki Hanyu’s business, is of course also among them.

Although in the eyes of Akio Mitomo, Yoshihiro Yada’s ability is average, but after all, he has worked with Hideki Hanyu for so long, and he is still very competent as a communicator.

“Your next work task is the acquisition entrusted by Mr. Hanyu. The target is Coreland Technology Co., Ltd. in Nakano District. It will take a week to complete the preliminary investigation and market value evaluation.”

When President Sanyou said this, his expression became stern.

“In the next week, there will be no holidays, no commuting time, everyone who completes the task will get a bonus, and everyone who can’t complete the task will be deducted, understand?”

“Yes!”

All the men in black agreed in unison.

President Sanyou continued to arrange work and distribute materials, and after finishing everything, Yada Ryohiro was left behind.

“Yada-san, you don’t have to be responsible for the specific work. Your most important job is to report the progress of the investigation to Mr. Hanyu at any time and communicate well at work.”

“I understand.”

“Okay, let’s go to work.”

……

And on the day Hanyu Hideki left Sanyu Accounting Firm, the theme song of “Love, Go Home” sung by Akina Nakamori, and the music video and movie promotion of “Futureへ” began to be broadcast on major TV stations.

The promotional work of the movie “Love, Go Home” has entered the final sprint stage.

Prior to this, although the publicity work of “Love Home” was very frequent, it did not cause much repercussions.

After all, the current neon movies, except for theatrical animations and individual comedies, basically lack attention.

Everyone likes to watch Hollywood movies now, and watch action movies on Hong Kong Island.

If “Love, Go Home” hadn’t been supported by the original book, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even see this splash.

But all of this changed completely after the music video of the song “Future へ” was broadcast.

On the day it was broadcast, some viewers called the TV station, saying that the song was very good, and they hoped to play it more times.

And that night, someone ordered the song on the radio station.

On the second day, the song “Future へ” was on the on-demand charts of many radio stations, and more viewers called to hope that the TV station would broadcast more music videos.

In particular, many fans of “Love, Go Home” said that this song and music video perfectly restored their imagination of the plot in the book.

Family love, maternal love, growth, many touching elements are intertwined, which leads to the fact that most of the fans who like this song are adults.

Because of the problem of debut positioning, among the fans of Akina Nakamori, the largest number are teenagers.

But the sudden explosion of “Future へ” made adults pay attention to this young idol who just debuted.

The little girl’s unique mid-bass, singing affectionately, sent touching emotions into the hearts of the audience, and I don’t know how many people fell in love with her singing.

These people with the strongest spending power in the neon society, plus fans of the original book of “Love, Go Home”, went to the audio-visual store one after another, wanting to buy the record of “Future へ”.

However, according to the arrangement of Shochiku Films, the “Future へ” album will be released together with the release of the movie “Love, Go Home”.

Therefore, when fans went to the video store and picked up Akina Nakamori’s name, they knew that there was no song “Future へ”, only the debut single “Slow Motion”.

Some of them didn’t hear it, so they prepared to buy it after it was released.

And some fans who became interested in Nakamori Akina because of “Future へ” bought a “Slow Motion” record.

However, among the fans who bought the record, some people think it is not as good as “Futureへ”.

It’s just an average song, the little girl’s mid-bass is completely gone, just holding her throat to pretend to be cute.

But some people think it’s good, and they are more interested in Akina Nakamori.

It was under such circumstances that Warner Pioneer was surprised to find that the sales of “Slow Motion” recorded a sudden increase in two days.

According to the original estimate, the sales volume in the second week will be the same as that in the first week.

Relying on the sudden explosion in the last two days, it pushed the weekly sales to [-] copies in one fell swoop, helping Akina Nakamori break into the top ten of Oricon for the first time.

After determining the reason for the sharp increase in sales, Warner Pioneer knew that it was because of the help brought by the song “Future へ”.

But for this reason, Pioneer Warner fell into a tangled emotion of joy and helplessness.

Happily, “Futureへ” has helped Akatsuki Nakamori have countless fans and increased the sales of his debut song “Slow Motion”.

But helplessly, the song “Future へ” has nothing to do with Warner Pioneer at all.

The lyrics and music are written by Hideki Hanyu, and the producer is YM Records of Yunying Pictures. The copyright has nothing to do with them.

Helping promote it is equivalent to advertising for YM Records.

Putting aside my busy schedule, I want to include this song in an album later, and the sales of the album will not be possible.

Such a popular song, as long as YM Records is not stupid, it will definitely include the song in the soundtrack of the movie.

Finally, there is a song that can be played, but it turns out that it is not my own.

But at least she can comfort herself that Akina Nakamori raised her profile through this song and laid a good foundation for the release of the second single.

What is more uncomfortable than Warner Pioneer is actually other competing firms.

Seeing that Akina Nakamori was about to be confused when debuting, she was saved by a movie theme song.

Now even if they want to make some small moves, there is no rush at all.

As the saying goes, flowers will not bloom with intention, but willows and willows will make shade unintentionally.

The publicity team of the movie “Love, Go Home” did not expect the song “Future へ” to become such a hit.

Originally, because of the poor publicity effect, they have already started to shift the focus of publicity to Hideki Hanyu.

Who would have thought that Akina Nakamori would come out singing “Future へ”.

Kiyoshi Shimadzu acted accordingly and immediately changed the publicity plan.

First of all, YM Records is required to distribute the records of “Future へ” immediately without waiting for the movie to be released, so as to further expand the influence of this song.

The second one is “Tetsuko’s Room”, which was originally arranged for Hideki Hanyu to be on by himself, but now Hideki Hanyu and Akina Nakamori are co-recording.

If there is enthusiasm, it is not worth it. Since everyone is interested in Akina Nakamori who sang “Future へ”, Kiyoshi Shimadzu decided to show it to everyone.

And on May [-], when Hanyu Hideki and Nakamori Akina were on the show, another thing that made the film promotion team happy happened.

In the latest Asahi Shimbun newspaper, the 1981 Neon Elderly Ranking List was announced.

What is the Elderly Payment Ranking List? It is the ranking list of the annual income of the richest people in Neon based on the statistics of tax returns by the Neon Internal Revenue Service.

Every year when this list is released, it is the happiest time for the people who eat melons.

What they are most interested in is finding their favorite celebrities on the list.

And in this list, Hanyu Hideki is impressively ranked in the author’s income list.

In 6000, Hanyu Hideki’s total income was [-] million yen, ranking first in the Neon writer’s income list.

And his income is completely peerless in the list of writers, and no one can hold a candle to it.

The income of other writers behind him has fallen off a cliff compared to his.

Let’s see who’s behind him.

The second is Shiba Ryotaro. Looking at the entire neon literary world, no matter how you arrange it, this is a great writer who can be ranked in the forefront. The other party’s income last year was 9000 million yen.

The third place is Yojiro Ishisaka, who is also a well-known novelist at home and abroad. The other party’s income last year was 1000 million yen.

Behind him are Toshiyuki Nishimura, Seicho Matsumoto, and Masashi Henggou, master figures in the world of neon mystery novels.

But these well-known and long-established writers were completely suppressed by Hanyu Hideki on the income list.

Even the combined income of two or three people is not as high as that of Hanyu Hideki alone, and it can barely exceed it if Nishimura Toshiyuki is counted.

Although many lists last year said that Hideki Hanyu’s income was very high, but the IRS’s real hammer did not come out for a day, and everyone did not believe it for a day.

Now that the list is released, everyone finally believes it.

Book fans who like Hideki Hanyu spread the news, as if they were so happy that they made so much money.

At the same time, the neon picture book world is also very proud of Hideki Hanyu’s top income list.

Reading materials such as picture books have been developed in Neon for decades, and the market has been carefully cultivated by many senior writers.

Today, Hideki Hanyu has blossomed and borne fruit.

Hideki Hanyu is the first writer to be on the list of writers as a picture book writer.

And it’s number one on the list.

Although a large part of Hideki Hanyu’s income is brought by the two novels.

But in the literary world, Hanyu Hideki’s biggest label is still a picture book writer.

Such achievements will not only inspire picture book writers who are still working hard, but also allow more people to devote themselves to the industry of picture book writers.

After all, no matter how much you talk, it is not as good as showing the real benefits.

Hideki Hanyu’s rise to the top of the list this time is destined to bring huge benefits to the development of the picture book industry.

Many seniors in the industry have decided to suggest to the Agency for Cultural Affairs that Hanyu Hideki be included in the candidates for the Order of Culture in order to reward Hanyu Hideki’s contribution to the development of picture books.
