Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era
Chapter 154 Acquaintances at the Game Design Contest
Chapter 154 Acquaintances at the Game Design Contest
“Hanyu-san, now everyone in the circle calls Genki Girls the original girl group, and Hanyu-san you are the father of the girl group, saying that the next era will be the era of girl groups.”
Hirohashi Asako told Hanyu Hideki the latest news in the circle.
“Yuanzu women’s group? The father of the women’s group? Returning to the era of the women’s group? What is this all about?”
After Hanyu Hideki heard Hirohashi Asako’s words, the corner of his mouth couldn’t help twitching.
He really didn’t know what to say.
Originally, I just wanted to rely on the combination to help Yukiko Okada, Yoko Minano and Minako Honda debut, and change the fate of the three little ones by the way.
Who knew that if she was not careful, Vitality Girl would immediately become popular all over Asia, making the entertainment industry feel that girl groups are the trend.
Now Yanyin Office and Philips Records are taking the lead and successfully making Blue Girl popular.
After all the mistakes, the entertainment industry has become more convinced that the next will be the era of girl groups.
No need to guess, there will be one after another girl group starting to appear soon.
Hanyu Hideki somehow felt that the progress of the entertainment industry was spoiled by him.
But it’s quite interesting to think about it. We’ve come to this era, so what’s the point of continuing to watch Matsuda Seiko and Xiaopangcai Duozhuan.
It’s just that in his opinion, the popularity of Vitality Girl and Blue Girl cannot be replicated.
If the peers in the industry really follow the trend and come up with a bunch of combinations, whether they can succeed or not is still a question mark.
“Hanyu-san should really go and see the recent birth of a star, those guys are going crazy over people.”
Hirohashi Asako said helplessly.
After signing Nakamori Akina, a cash cow, at Birth of a Star last year, Hirohashi Asako naturally wants to try her luck again this year.
Originally, I thought that Yunshang Arts would establish a training system for trainees. I thought that even if I couldn’t sign the champion, it would be fine to win a few popular ones.
In the previous “A Star Is Born”, except for a few popular players, most of them actually didn’t have the chance to make their debut.
As a result, after the live TV broadcast of “A Star Is Born” started this year, it was affected by the successive popularity of Vitality Girl and Blue Girl.
All the participating girls who were shortlisted for the live TV broadcast were all frantically sought after by the clubs in the industry.
After all, after signing, it doesn’t matter if one or two are not good enough, as long as they form a group and make their debut.
The ready-made example of Blue Girl is here, everyone is very excited,
“A star is born, is the competition fierce?” Hideki Hanyu asked curiously.
Anyway, he remembered that the 83 groups of idols who were born this year seemed to have quite poor grades, and each one was better than the other.
Especially Akiko Matsumoto, who has received the most attention, kicked off the prelude to the transformation of an idol into a comedian under the influence of a certain manager of Watanabe Productions.
Don’t blame them, it can only be said that the senior is too fierce.
Let’s take a look at the popular female idols from 80 to 82. Seiko Matsuda, Nahoko Kawai, Akina Nakamori, Kyoko Koizumi, Hiroko Yakushimaru, Yoshie Kashiwahara, Emi Horichie, Hidemi Ishikawa…
Too many to fit in the leaderboard.
These people broke out collectively in 83, and Nakamori Akina and Matsuda Seiko even played duo.
Group 83 was directly suppressed and had no way out.
“How should I put it? Watanabe Productions has already directly said that they want Akiko Matsumoto, and Warner also wants to join us to win Asuka Suita. Anyway, no matter whether they have the strength or not, they have decided to sign it first.”
Hirohashi Asako talked about the status quo of “A Star Is Born”.
“If you can sign, you can sign. It doesn’t matter if you can’t. I feel that the popularity of Vitality Girl and Blue Girl cannot be replicated. Whether the follow-up combination will be successful is still open to question.”
Hideki Hanyu, the father of the original girl group, said that the combination may not be successful, and Asako Hirohashi was very curious.
“Hayu-san is not optimistic about the future of girl groups.”
Hanyu Hideki shook his head.
“It’s not that I don’t like it, but I think it’s impossible to be as popular as Vitality Girl. The group debut consumes more resources. Now it seems that there are two successes, but once there are failures, everyone will calm down soon. “
“I know, but our vitality girl has succeeded, and the rest will wait and see.”
“Yes, we can develop according to our own plan.”
Hideki Hanyu put down the Oricon magazine in his hand, and asked Asako Hirohashi about other things, “Has Kurokawa Oki’s crew set off yet?”
What Hideki Hanyu asked was about the movie about the girl who had decided to shoot before.
From script writing to preliminary preparation, it was completed in less than two weeks.
Since the box office of “I’m Sorry So Cute” is very good, it has been crowned for five consecutive weeks, and the box office is about 30 billion yen.
After being released in other parts of Asia, the box office results are also quite good.
Therefore, the budget for the new film by Yun Shang Pictures is quite sufficient, and they decided to go directly to Hokkaido to film the scene according to the plot in the script.
The most important thing is that through this movie, Yunshang Pictures has divided the producer into 30.00% in one fell swoop.
If Shochiku Yinghua doesn’t want to give so much, Toho and Toei can line up behind.
“I set off this morning, but the vitality girl is estimated to be able to go in two days.”
“Did something happen?” Hanyu Hideki asked.
“Star Magazine invites Vitality Girls to issue a special issue,” said Hirohashi Asako.
“It’s really rare.” Hanyu Hideki couldn’t help but click his lips.
As an established entertainment magazine, “Star” is not a front-line magazine that can’t even get the cover, but it actually publishes a special issue directly for young girls who have just debuted.
But think about the achievements of Vitality Girls, whose influence has swept across Asia, ushered in a new era of neon girl groups, and broke various records with their first single.
It doesn’t seem like a big deal for “Star” to issue a special issue for such a monstrous newcomer.
“Indeed, in fact, ‘Ordinary’ magazine also invited, but considering the filming and recording of a new single, the timing is really inseparable, Yoshioka-san declined.”
Hanyu Hideki laughed when he heard the words, “Yoshioka-san should be in a difficult situation right now.”
There are many popular idols in the firm, and there are many things to deal with, and it is not easy for various partners to socialize.
Among other things, they agreed to use the Baile stationery, Domei toys, and Shiseido in the advertisement.
The three companies wanted to invite the vitality girl to help promote the platform, and the Yunshang Performing Arts Office had to give face to agree.
In terms of the media, major TV stations, as well as influential paper media, it is basically difficult to refuse an invitation to a vigorous girl.
There are also Dentsu and Hakuhodo. In order for the vitality girl to be able to appear in the advertisement, Yunying Pictures did not hesitate to make it for free.
Now it’s the brands who have taken a fancy to the influence of Vitality Girl in Asia, and actively hope that Vitality Girl will participate in the show.
It is no exaggeration to say that Dentsu and Hakuhodo’s advertising invitations to Genki Girls can fill a drawer without any problem.
Of course, if there are disadvantages, there are advantages. Vitality Girl has given these cooperation aspects, and naturally can get corresponding benefits.
Needless to say, the TV station, as long as the vitality girl is willing, basically any program can be arranged easily.
The same is true for the paper media. After Vitality Girl takes the platform for their activities, it is basically difficult to see the unfavorable news of Vitality Girl in the reports.
Especially some time ago, Vitality Girl’s first photobook was about to be released, but a bunch of publishers came and wanted to cooperate.
On the side of the elementary school, Masahiro Aiga even called himself.
Considering that Nakamori Akina was already cooperating with Shogakukan, Hanyu Hideki still rejected Shogakukan.
Vitality Girl’s first photobook was finally handed over to Xinchaosha for distribution.
However, because of this incident, Hanyu Hideki was reminded of the celebrity desk calendar photobook produced by Johnny’s & Associates later.
Later generations of Johnny’s & Associates relied on their monopoly position in the neon male idol market.
Every year, different boy group photobooks are handed over to different publishing houses for distribution. These photobooks are called desk calendars or school calendars.
Johnny & Associates can use this method to win over different publishing houses, so that the media under these publishing houses dare not report on Johnny’s black material.
Johnny & Associates can do it, and of course Yunshang Yineng can do it too.
On weekdays, people from Nakamori Akina, Genki Girl, and Alan Tomoko’s assistant team collect materials and integrate them into a photobook by the end of the year.
By distributing the distribution rights of these photobooks, while making money, they can also win over different publishing houses.
As for Dentsu and Hakuhodo, it is not a bad thing to invite too many advertisements.
Vitality Girl, as a celebrity with a reputation throughout Asia, the advertising fee is not comparable to that of ordinary neon stars.
Now if the three of them appear together, the cost of acting will be at least 5000 million yen, and it will be more expensive if it is an endorsement.
At the same time that the cost of advertising for Vitality Girl has risen, Yunying Pictures has also taken advantage of the trend to accept the project of advertising production.
The current vitality girl is definitely a super money printing machine for the Yunshang Department.
However, in order to take care of the overseas market, in the future, when Vitality Girl produces music, there will be at least two versions, the neon version and the Chinese version.
They even recorded the English version if necessary.
In addition to the album, Vitality Girl also needs to learn the languages of different regions,
Chinese should be able to communicate easily, and other languages should at least be able to say hello.
Since we want to go the international route, we will naturally have to make corresponding efforts.
In this case, if Hideki Hanyu hadn’t told Santomo Iijima to arrange rest time for the artists as much as possible.
The three little ones were probably too tired to hold on.
“Hanyu-san’s younger siblings have arrived home safely, right?” Hirohashi Asako asked concerned.
“Got home.”
Hanyu Hideki wanted his younger siblings to play for two more days.
But the family was in a hurry, and school was about to start, so I couldn’t go back.
“Xiuri and Yui-chan are really sensible, unlike Saori, who didn’t listen to me before they were four years old.”
“Actually, I am very playful, children are the same…”
While Hideki Hanyu was chatting with Asako Hirohashi, there was a sudden knock on the door of the president’s office.
“Mr. Hanyu, it’s me.”
Hanyu Hideki heard the voice of Reiko Uemura, “Come in.”
“Hello, President Hirohashi, Mr. Hanyu, the outside has already been moved, I would like to ask when we will leave.”
After Uemura Reiko came in, she saw Hirohashi Asako there, and hurriedly greeted her.
“Don’t worry, we’ll be there in the afternoon.” Hanyu Hideki said.
“Okay, then I’ll go outside and wait.”
“Go get it.”
After Uemura Reiko went out, Hirohashi Asako sighed, “It always feels like Hanyu-san is leaving too.”
“How is it possible? Even if Yunshang Culture has moved away, my office isn’t still here.”
It turns out that what Reiko Uemura said just now has moved out means that Yunshang Culture, which was originally on the sixth floor, has moved away.
After finishing the acquisition of Ginza, Yoshihiro Yada helped Hideki Hanyu find a new office location in Shinagawa Ward.
After Hanyu Hideki inspected it, he felt that it was good, so he decisively bought the land and used it as the future headquarters of Yunshang Culture.
In the past few days, not only Yunshang Culture, but also Elf Entertainment has also moved there from Nakano District.
He even went there before coming to Yun Shang Hua in the morning, and the basic reading was almost done.
After Yunshang Culture moved to Shinagawa District, it was not far from Yukio Tanaka’s house.
The future development of that area is also quite good, and it can be regarded as a famous “rich area” in Tokyo.
Not only many well-known universities are located in it, but also embassies of many countries are located in Shinagawa District.
It is also the location of many foreign companies headquartered in Neon, such as the headquarters of Microsoft Corporation.
It can be regarded as an area with developed industry and commerce and rich cultural and educational atmosphere.
“At first, I thought Hanyu-san would use the open space next to it for Yunshang Culture.”
“That’s what I left for Yun Shang Hua, for future expansion.”
“Didn’t Yoshioka-san buy a piece of land in Suginami District as a training base for trainees?” Hirohashi Asako asked.
“Asako-san said it’s a training base, Minato District will only be an office space in the future, and all newcomer training will be held in Suginami District.”
“I always feel that such a large space is not needed.”
Asako Hirohashi really didn’t understand why Hideki Hanyu was so keen on investing in real estate.
I like to invest, and I also suggested that she, Yoshioka Shota, and Ito Shinsuke keep buying houses.
Even a large part of Yun Shang Pictures’ repayment was required to be used to buy houses and land.
Shota Yoshioka bought a large piece of real estate in Suginami District in the name of Yunshang Entertainment.
Yun Shang Pictures also bought two independent theaters in Bunkyo District and Chiyoda District, including the theaters, ancillary buildings, and land.
Asako Hirohashi always heard Hideki Hanyu say that housing prices and land prices will continue to rise, but they are already very expensive now, how can they go up.
Hideki Hanyu naturally didn’t know Hirohashi Asako’s thoughts, let alone what he bought now was nothing.
As long as there are suitable ones, he intends to continue to buy them.
Just like the two independent theaters we bought before, although the theater is not big, the ancillary buildings and land are not small.
Asako Hirohashi said that so many places are not needed, but Hideki Hanyu disagreed.
He pointed to the outside and said.
“I feel that it is not enough now. YM Records and MF Records share the same floor. President Nagato has no place to move BEING here. Now that my Yunshang Culture has moved, there is just room for him.”
“Do you want BEING for Nagato-san? I was thinking of transforming it into a dormitory. Akina-chan and Vitality Girl have debuted now, so it’s not convenient to live in my place.”
“It’s too inconvenient for girls to live directly in the clubhouse. I bought the apartment I used to live in in Shibuya Honmachi, and it’s being renovated recently. Why don’t they let them live in directly after the renovation is completed.”
“That’s good too. Hanyu-san will decorate that apartment and rent it out to Yunying Pictures directly. It will be used as a dormitory for debut artists in the future.”
“Okay, anyway, it’s the same to rent to anyone.”
Hanyu Hideki didn’t care, he was the biggest landlord of Yunying Pictures.
Not to mention the dormitory, even the current office building is his property.
“Oh, by the way, is Hanyu-san free tomorrow?” Hirohashi Asako asked.
“Do you have any work?” Hideki Hanyu asked.
When I went to Nakano District to watch Elf Entertainment move this morning, Aragaki Tetsu also said that there was a very important matter tomorrow, and he must go with him.
Hideki Hanyu still wanted to see what important things Aragaki Tetsuya said.
“Previously Yanai-san was going to sell shares in Yunying Pictures, and the contract will be signed tomorrow. Isn’t Hanyu-san coming?”
“For this matter, Asako-san can participate as the president, and I will not participate.”
Liu Jingzheng sells shares, and it is probably related to the cooperation with Uniqlo, and he will not be present in person, and he does not need to participate.
Next, Hideki Hanyu chatted with Asako Hirohashi about the recent affairs of the club, and then left.
Hideki Hanyu stayed until noon, and took his assistant Reiko Uemura to Shinagawa District to check the relocation situation.
The new office he bought was originally a plastic products factory, but he chose to sell it because of poor management.
In front is a four-story office building. Although the number of floors is not high, the area is not small.
There is also a factory building at the back, but it has not been used for a long time. It looks quite dilapidated and needs to be repaired.
The first to third floors of the office building were all given to Elf Entertainment, and the top floor was given to Yunshang Culture.
Needless to say, the factory building in the back is temporarily handed over to the production department for use.
Although the relocation was over at this time, the re-arranging and repairing of the site was in full swing, just like Yunying Huahua’s move.
Hideki Hanyu chatted with Eri Kitahara for a few words, but seeing that he couldn’t help, he simply went back to Wanshiwu.
……
On the third floor of the Master House, Hideki Hanyu calmed down and separated his thoughts from the turmoil of the outside world.
Then I devoted myself to the creation of picture books.
The picture book that Masahiro Aiga asked him to create before has reached its final juncture today.
On the creation stage, he slowly painted with a brush in his hand.
On a windless midwinter night, the white snow spread out little by little, and the bright moon at night made the sky strangely bright, and the light reflected on the snow was white and without trace.
In the silent night, the father took his daughter by hand, dragged a long shadow, and stepped on a row of footprints on the white snow.
They walked through the snow and through the pine forests, just to find the owls in the pine forests at night.
The picture is beautiful and quiet.
“That hope.
will use soundless wings
in bright
Watch the owls in the good moonlight
Fly forward. “
Looking at the drawing of the father holding his daughter and walking home, Hideki Hanyu read the last sentence softly.
The stories implying family affection are plain and dull, and it seems to be far away from reality when read, like a piece of prose or a poem.
After reading, it feels like the aftertaste left after lightly drinking fine wine, like encountering a rainbow after the rain, that kind of calmness and emotion lingers in my heart.
Jingle Bell……
Just when Hanyu Hideki was intoxicated in the creative world, the ringing of the phone downstairs suddenly brought him back to reality.
“Moxi Moxi, this is the house of everything.”
“Hanyu-san, sorry to bother you, I’m Yasushi Akimoto.” Akimoto’s fat voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Akimoto-san, long time no see.”
“Is Hanyu-san free today? How about going out for a drink together?”
Hanyu Hideki looked at the sky outside the window, the sun had already set in the west, thinking that he hadn’t eaten dinner yet, he agreed.
“Okay.”
“I also have a composer friend I just met, I wonder if it’s okay?”
“no problem.”
When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he knew that today was definitely not just eating and drinking.
Having known each other for such a long time, he knew that Akimoto Yasushi had a strong purpose in doing things.
If Akimoto-san had nothing to discuss, he would definitely not bring outsiders over for a drink alone.
The previous few times I brought outsiders, I also wanted to promote cooperation.
It is estimated that this time is no exception.
In an izakaya in Shinjuku, Hanyu Hideki met Akimoto Yasushi.
Sitting next to the other party was a young man with an ordinary appearance and no special features.
“Hayu-san, this is Goto Tsori, a very talented composer.”
Yasushi Akimoto introduced the man to Hideki Hanyu.
After Akimoto Yasushi finished speaking, Goto Tsori stood up and politely saluted Hanyu Hideki.
“Mr. Hanyu, it’s an honor to meet you.”
“I’ve heard about Goto-san for a long time. I like your arrangement for Miyuki Nakajima’s Evil Girl very much.”
How could Hanyu Hideki not know about the composer Goto Tsori.
Except for the arrangement of Miyuki Nakajima’s villain he said.
In his previous life, he also composed music for Akina Nakamori, Shizuka Kudo, and even the idol singer “Jackie Chan”.
Later, the “Twilight Meow” program, which was co-operated with Akimoto Yasushi, was an important pusher for neon idols to enter the ice age.
Tsori Goto did not expect that a big man like Hideki Hanyu would notice him who arranged the music for Miyuki Nakajima, and couldn’t help showing a look of surprise.
“It is my honor to be liked by Mr. Hanyu.”
That respectful attitude is not at all like facing a 19-year-old young man.
“You’re welcome, let’s sit down and talk.”
Hanyu Hideki asked the two to sit down.
With Akimoto Yasushi, there will never be a cold spot on the wine table.
After everyone ate, drank, and chatted happily for a long time, Yasushi Akimoto finally revealed the purpose of his trip.
“Hanyu-san, these are a few songs written by Goto-san. After I wrote the lyrics, I think it is very suitable for the style of the vitality girl. Please ask Hanyu-san to see how it goes.”
As Yasushi Akimoto spoke, he took out a few sheet music from the briefcase on the seat and handed them to Hideki Hanyu.
Hanyu Hideki saw Akimoto Yasushi and Goto Tsori coming hand in hand before, so he probably guessed the other party’s purpose.
After all, after Vitality Girl became popular, there are too many musicians who have sought cooperation with YM Records.
After all, in Neon, songwriters can get a share, and the more they earn, the less they earn is directly linked to sales.
Musicians who want to make money, of course want to cooperate with popular artists.
“Please let me take a look first.”
Hideki Hanyu didn’t reply immediately, but took the sheet music and checked it.
While watching, he hummed a few lines from time to time.
The two people on the opposite side, whether it was Tsori Goto or Yasushi Akimoto, were both looking forward to and nervous while waiting.
Although the two are not newcomers, they have already cooperated with famous singers.
But in terms of popularity, none of them can be compared with Vitality Girl.
To be precise, in terms of popularity alone, there is no one in the neon art world who is more popular than the energetic girl who only released one song.
Traveling all over Asia, you can hear the song “Youth Album” on the streets and alleys.
Such a level of popularity has never been achieved by neon idols before.
Therefore, all neon musicians know that as long as they can cooperate with Vitality Girl, they will embark on a broad road.
It is not impossible for someone with such a low reputation like them to become famous in Asia.
While the two were waiting nervously, Hideki Hanyu put down the score in his hand.
In all fairness, these songs are the most suitable for vigorous girls among the songs he has received recently.
Although it does not reach the level of single release, there is no problem at all in the album.
“Very good. I think it suits my style orientation for the first album of Vitality Girl. If Akimoto-san and Goto-san are interested in collaborating, you can go directly to YM Music tomorrow, and I will arrange someone to receive it.”
As soon as Hanyu Hideki said this, Akimoto Yasushi and Goto Tsori couldn’t hide their joy.
Goto Tsori directly raised his glass to toast, expressing his gratitude to Hideki Hanyu.
Several people exchanged cups and cups, chatting for a long time.
Seeing that Hideki Hanyu was not as lofty as imagined, Tsori Goto began to relax when speaking.
As we talked, we talked about the latest gossip news about Yunshang Arts.
“Hanyu-san, Johnny Kitagawa, the president of Johnny’s & Associates, recently sued Yoshioka, the president of Yunshang Entertainment, in the media, saying that he poached the trainers of several JR trainees of Johnny’s & Associates. I don’t know if it is true of?”
Hearing Goto Tsori’s words, Hanyu Hideki pretended to be surprised.
“Poaching, why don’t I know.”
Of course Hanyu Hideki was pretending to be confused.
Has Johnny & Associates been poached, of course it has.
Together with Shota Yoshioka, Motoki Matsui, who helped Yunshang Entertainment to establish a trainee training system, went to Okinawa Performing Arts School to invite old friends.
As a result, the friend had no plans to leave Okinawa, and Matsui Motoki returned without success.
After returning to Tokyo, Matsui Motoki learned that Ito Shinsuke was joking and suggested poaching people from Johnny’s Office, so he didn’t hesitate at all and chose to do it directly.
Because of Kondo Masahiko’s criticism, Matsui Motoki was kicked out of Johnny’s office by the Kitagawa sisters and brothers, and then banned, looking like he wanted to kill them all.
Because of this incident, he didn’t know how much hatred and anger towards the Guinness firm had been suppressed in his heart.
Now with the support of Yunshang Entertainment, Motoki Matsui would not be polite if he could publicly avenge his revenge.
You know, Matsui Motoki was the director of JR trainee training at Johnny & Associates.
He is very familiar with the training of JR trainees at Johnny & Associates.
New and old grudges combined, Matsui Motoki’s attack on Johnny & Associates was a ruthless precision.
In less than a week, all the teachers who trained JR trainees at Johnny’s Office were secretly contacted by Motoki Matsui and offered various preferential treatment.
By the time Johnny Kitagawa found out that the situation was wrong, more than half of the training teachers had already handed in their resignations.
Under such circumstances, Johnny Kitagawa gritted his teeth and raised the salary while appeasing the remaining teachers.
On the other hand, they found the media to publicly bombard Yunshang Performing Arts as despicable and shameless, resorting to such shameless methods as poaching people.
The top executives of Yunshang Entertainment didn’t talk to Johnny Kitagawa at all, and only Matsui Motoki accepted the media interview.
Matsui denied Johnny Kitagawa’s accusations, saying it was a normal flow of people.
Those teachers who chose to join Yunshang Performing Arts are completely out of voluntary.
Seeing Matsui Motoki’s upright and innocent look, the reporters couldn’t help complaining in their hearts.
If it wasn’t for knowing the grievances between you and Johnny’s firm, if it weren’t for the teachers like Johnny’s already working at Yunshangyieng.
The reporters really believed this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
But thinking of Yunshangyi’s recent generous public relations fees, everyone is still selectively blind.
Except for a few media, most of the reports followed Motoki Matsui’s answer.
In front of Hideki Hanyu’s surprised face, in the eyes of Tsori Goto, it was almost the same as Motoki Matsui.
At this time, Goto Tsori also wanted to make complaints like those reporters.
Thinking of those media reports, Goto Tsori couldn’t help sighing that the strength of Yunying Painting is really powerful.
The Johnny’s Office, which is domineering in the entertainment industry, was poached by Yunying Pictures more than half of the trainers.
As a result, the president, Johnny Kitagawa, could only complain publicly in the media, and did not dare to suppress and block it like other small firms.
However, Yun Shang Hua not only refused to admit it, but also casually suppressed the news.
Hideki Hanyu refused to admit it, and Tsori Goto could only change the subject, “Is Yunshang Entertainment planning to train trainees?”
“Yes.”
On this point, Hanyu Hideki generously admitted.
Anyway, after Motoki Matsui settles down with the new teacher, the first trainee selection will begin.
If he doesn’t say anything at that time, everyone in the circle will know.
“Then I don’t know whether to sign a contract with a male artist?” Goto Tsori asked.
“Of course, although there are only female artists for the time being, Yunshang Arts will never give up the male artist market.”
As soon as Hideki Hanyu said this, Tsori Goto and Yasushi Akimoto couldn’t help but feel that Johnny’s & Associates was about to suffer again.
Yunshang Yi can not be reconciled to relying on female idols to kill the Quartet. This is planning to snatch Johnny’s male idol.
But these are none of their business, Goto Tsori thought of what he was going to say, took out a document from his backpack, and handed it to Hanyu Hideki.
“I would like to recommend a young man with great ideas and talents.”
When Hideki Hanyu saw the result file, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
I didn’t expect to meet Qiu Pangpang once, and not only received a few good songs, but also had unexpected surprises.
A slightly youthful black and white photo, born in 1962, named Kazami Shingo.
Many people in later generations know about this actor as an actor, who has appeared in the Ultraman theater version.
But the other party in Nihong actually debuted as an idol in 83.
A debut song “狂笑っちゃいます” completely overwhelmed the group THE GOOD-BYE launched by Johnny & Associates in the same year.
Later, it almost broke Johnny’s monopoly on male idols.
As for why there was no sound later, there are many reasons.
But the most important thing, of course, is that he is not an idol from Johnny & Associates.
Seizing the male idol market, it’s no wonder Johnny didn’t do anything to suppress it.
But if this fell into Yunshang Yineng’s hands, there would be more things to do.
I remember that Kazami Shingo learned break dancing later, the effect is quite good, and it can be cultivated in advance.
As for getting involved in the male idol market, will Johnny & Associates suppress it?
Let Johnny Kitagawa give it a try.
If there is a way to use the entertainment on the cloud, Johnny Kitagawa won’t just talk about it in the media after being poached by so many people.
Hanyu Hideki put away Kazami Shingo’s information and told Goto Tsori.
“Since it is the person introduced by Goto-san, of course I must pay attention to it. When Goto-san goes to YM Records tomorrow, you can take him with you.”
Seeing Hideki Hanyu showing face so much, Tsori Goto laughed so happily that he raised his glass and drank it.
“Then I will thank Mr. Hanyu for this kid.”
“You’re welcome, I should thank Goto-san for recommending talents to me.”
……
Akimoto Yasushi and Goto Tsori achieved their goals, and Hanyu Hideki received songs and received people.
Both parties were quite happy, and they had a good time drinking and chatting until midnight.
Yasushi Akimoto suggested finding a place to renew the stall, but Hideki Hanyu considered agreeing to Tetsuya Aragaki, but politely refused.
After sending the two drunks away, Hideki Hanyu took a taxi back to Master House.
Arriving at the door of the master house, he saw a familiar Toyota parked on the excuse of Gaolusan.
He waved to him funny, and then opened the door to go home.
Inside the Toyota car on the side of the road, the old acquaintance reporter Nakajima saw this and slapped the steering wheel hard.
“Damn it, this guy came back alone again.”
The companion next to him couldn’t help complaining, “I just said I should follow.”
“How many times have we followed, nothing more than drinking with those men, at most going to nightclubs, shooting those is a waste of negatives and gasoline.”
Reporter Nakajima said angrily.
He was the one who yelled bold words in front of the editor-in-chief and wanted to stare at Hanyu Hideki to death.
As a result, after so long, I didn’t find any scandal.
However, the Nakajima reporter decided that there must be something wrong with Hideki Hanyu.
Because when he participated in the film conference of “I’m Sorry So Cute” by Yunshang.
He found that the two leading actors of the movie, Yoko Minano from the popular Genki Girls group, and Akina Nakamori, the popular female idol, looked at Hideki Hanyu very strangely.
Others may not be able to see it, but he has learned how to judge emotions from the eyes for work.
If we can find evidence that Hanyu Hideki was in a relationship with the two female artists of the agency at the same time, it will definitely be explosive news.
This is what made him persevere and never give up.
“You guy who plays with female entertainers in the office, I will definitely expose you!”
Looking in the direction of Master House, Nakajima reporter said indignantly.
Hideki Hanyu, who returned to the master house, was completely unaware of a certain Wenchun reporter who made up “evil” deeds for him out of nothing.
Slightly drunk, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep, after a good night’s rest.
The next day, Hideki Hanyu drove to Shinagawa District.
At the Yunshang Cultural Headquarters at this time, a group of employees were still tidying up the office space.
After greeting Eri Kitahara, who was busy, he left with Tetsuya Aragaki.
On the way to Shinjuku, Hanyu Hideki asked Tetsuya Aragaki.
“What the hell is it, you have to pull me together.”
Tetsuya Aragaki, who has always been indifferent to Hideki Hanyu, explained.
“Today, Shinjuku will hold the awards ceremony for the first game design and programming competition. Since President Hanyu is going to enter the game industry, he can’t miss it.”
“It turned out to be the awards ceremony for the game design competition.”
Hideki Hanyu suddenly realized that this is the only thing that can make Tetsuya Aragaki, a technologist, so excited.
According to Aragaki Tetsuya’s guidance, Hanyu Hideki soon arrived near the place where the awards ceremony was held.
After parking the car, Hideki Hanyu followed Tetsuya Aragaki to the entrance of the venue, and saw the organizer’s logo feeling a little familiar.
“ENIX? I seem to have heard of it somewhere.”
With doubts, Hideki Hanyu and Tetsu Aragaki also walked into the venue.
After entering, he found that there were almost no ordinary people here, most of them were game design practitioners and game design enthusiasts.
Before Hanyu Hideki came, he was afraid of attracting attention, so he put on sunglasses and a baseball cap to cover it up.
It now seems completely unnecessary, these programmers are obviously more interested in game design than he is a celebrity.
They got together in twos and threes, enthusiastically discussing topics related to game design, and the atmosphere was quite lively.
Hideki Hanyu felt that Tetsuya Aragaki who was beside him seemed to want to join in, but he was a little embarrassed to act because he was by his side.
“Aragaki-san, I’ll go around, you can do whatever you want.”
Hanyu Hideki left after speaking.
Tetsu Aragaki didn’t have to worry about Hideki Hanyu, he immediately found an interesting topic to join in, and had a great chat.
“Aragaki-san, I didn’t expect to see you here.”
Just when Tetsuya Aragaki was getting into the conversation, a voice sounded from behind.
Tetsuya Aragaki turned his head when he heard the words, and when he saw the man talking behind him, he immediately showed surprise.
“Senior Tanimura! Long time no see.”
The man in front of him is Masahiro Tanimura, a senior who taught Tetsuya Aragaki to learn programming techniques.
Aragaki Tetsu has always respected him, but he hasn’t seen him since he graduated and joined Yunying Pictures, and he didn’t expect to meet him here.
“I established a game development studio in Akihabara, called HAL Research Institute, and I also participated in this game design and programming competition with my work.”
Tanimura Masahin said why he came here.
“Senior Tanimura won the award?” Aragaki Tetsuya asked.
Tanimura Masahiro touched his head in embarrassment, “Although he was shortlisted, he failed to win the award.”
“That’s really a pity.” Aragaki Tetsu also said regretfully.
“It doesn’t matter, just study.”
Masahiro Tanimura asked Tetsuya Aragaki when he said this, “I heard that Aragaki-san joined a movie studio after graduation?”
“Yes, I applied for the job as an artist.” Aragaki Tetsuya replied.
“Then do you continue to learn programming?”
“Not only learning, but also using it every day.”
As soon as Aragaki Tetsuya said this, Tanimura Masahiro was full of question marks, when will the movie club also need programming.
But thinking of Aragaki Tetsuya’s technical talent, he still asked tentatively.
“Since Aragaki-san didn’t give up programming, how about working in my HAL research institute? I know Aragaki-san’s favorite thing is technology.”
After speaking, without waiting for Tetsu Aragaki to answer, he immediately emphasized,
“Although my HAL has just started, there are only six employees, but they are all people who really like games. Some time ago, I hired a talented programmer. His name is Iwata Satoshi. I think between you…”
Seeing Tanimura Masahin introducing HAL to him endlessly, Aragaki Tetsu also didn’t know how to answer next.
Tell this senior directly that he is no longer working in Yunying Painting.
Instead, he became the head of the research and development department of a game company, and he directly managed more than [-] people?
Would Senior Tanimura be a little embarrassed in that way?
And just when Tetsuya Aragaki met an acquaintance, Hideki Hanyu also met an acquaintance here.
“Editor Bird Island, why are you here?”
The man with an afro in front of Hideki Hanyu was not Kazuhiko Torishima, the editor of Weekly Shonen Jump, who else could it be.
“You are?” Facing Hideki Hanyu who had made a disguise, Torishima Kazuhiko didn’t recognize him immediately.
However, Hideki Hanyu’s height and temperament were there, and Torishima Kazuhiko soon came to his senses, “Mr. Hanyu?”
“it’s me.”
“Why did Mr. Hanyu come here, don’t you also like designing games?”
Torishima Kazuhiko asked curiously,
“I don’t know how to program, but I founded a game entertainment club, and today the head of the club’s R&D department brought me here.”
Hideki Hanyu explained.
“Mr. Hanyu still has his own game club?”
Torishima Kazuhiko was a little surprised, this Hanyu Hideki really covered a lot.
“Yeah, the arcade version of Saint Seiya is being developed by my club.”
“Isn’t Bandai doing it?”
“Bandai outsourced to my club.”
“I see. It seems that Hanyu-sensei’s club should be very powerful.”
“Editor Bird Island hasn’t told me why you came here today?”
Hideki Hanyu was curious about how this guy, a manga editor, came to the game design competition.
“I was reporting this competition for other magazines. I originally entrusted a friend who is a freelance writer. Who would have thought that my friend would use the opportunity of reporting to enter the competition with a game designed by himself, and he won an award. Is he going to accept the award today? If I don’t write reports, I can only come here in person.”
After listening to Torishima Kazuhiko’s explanation, Hanyu Hideki suddenly realized, “I see.”
After Torishima Kazuhiko finished speaking, he seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said to Hanyu Hideki.
“Since Mr. Hanyu has a game club, I just want to introduce you to him. My friend is very talented in game design, but unfortunately he has never been able to find an opportunity. If Mr. Hanyu lacks someone, he can consider it.”
After Kazuhiko Torishima finished speaking, he took Hideki Hanyu to look for his friends at the venue.
Not long after searching, Torishima Kazuhiko suddenly pointed at the three young men who were discussing something not far away.
“Mr. Hanyu, the one wearing glasses among the three is my friend, and his name is Yuji Horii.”
