Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 158 “Kurokawa Karei” and “Kung Fu”

Chapter 158 “Kurokawa Karei” and “Kung Fu”

Meow…

Hideki Hanyu, who was basking in the sun on the terrace, fell asleep at some point because he was so exhausted.

Until I was woken up by the sound of cats meowing, I opened my eyes and saw that the sea of ​​clouds in the west was red, and the sun was about to set.

“Are you hungry?” Hanyu Hideki asked Nako Lulu.

The little female cat stretched out its front paws, and tapped the little rice bowl that it picked up, as if to say, ‘What do you think? ‘

“Haha.” Hanyu Hideki smiled awkwardly in order to cover up his mistake.

“This will help you prepare food.”

Picking up the little female cat and the small rice bowl, he went to the first floor.

Dried salmon, chicken breast floss, crushed boiled eggs, put into special cat food containing probiotics, pour in goat milk and stir, and Nako Lulu’s delicious dinner is ready.

After finishing Nako Lulu’s dinner, Hanyu Hideki was thinking about what he would have for dinner when the doorbell rang suddenly.

When I opened the door, I found that it was Yukio Tanaka.

“Yukio-san, why are you here?”

“Why, there is a beautiful woman hidden in the house, are you worried that I will find out?” Yukio Tanaka asked intentionally.

“Yeah, I just made a meal for the beauty, and I’m eating now.” Hideki Hanyu joked.

“Really? Let me see who it is?”

Yukio Tanaka thought that Hideki Hanyu was telling the truth, so he entered the room and looked around curiously.

“Where is the beauty?” Seeing the empty house, Yukio Tanaka turned his head and asked Hideki Hanyu.

“This is not my little beauty.”

Hanyu Hideki pointed to Nako Lulu who was eating cat food in the restaurant.

Meow……

Seeing Hideki Hanyu pointing at her, the little female cat raised its head, meowed softly, and acted like a baby to its master.

“You were talking about Nako Lulu, you thought it was really a beauty.”

Yukio Tanaka said disappointedly.

ooh…

After the little female cat found that Yukio Tanaka was also looking at her, she immediately whined in dissatisfaction.

That look seemed to say, don’t look at me, you ugly guy.

After wailing, the little female cat dragged the small rice bowl with her mouth and hid behind the dining table.

“Hey…! Smelly kitten, you forgot that I gave you to Hanyu-kun.”

Yukio Tanaka, who was hated by a cat, broke the defense on the spot.

“Okay, Yukio-san didn’t come here to fight against the kitten, did he?”

Hideki Hanyu couldn’t help but persuade Yukio Tanaka who wanted to fight Nako Lulu.

But before Yukio Tanaka said anything, he did not forget to emphasize one thing.

“I haven’t had much rest recently, so I don’t need to do evening activities.”

“Well, I’m planning to go out and play together after we finish our business.”

Yukio Tanaka was a little disappointed.

“Yukio-san, let’s talk about the business directly.” The partner was not in a good shape, and Hideki Hanyu expressed that he was helpless.

“My mother said that Uniqlo’s preliminary work is almost ready, and I invite Hanyu-kun to go home tomorrow morning to discuss the final details.”

“Xing Xiongsang can’t just make a phone call about this matter, so why make a trip in person?”

“It’s not that I wanted to find Hanyu-kun to do activities with you at night, but you still didn’t want to.” Yukio Tanaka said dissatisfied.

“I haven’t slept well for two days. If I go to have fun with Xing Xiongsang, I’m afraid I’ll fall asleep in the nightclub.”

“Are you so busy? Hanyu-kun has less and less time to get together after starting his business.”

“You said that you have started a business, of course you have to work hard, otherwise where will the money come from to find happiness with Yukio-san.”

“Okay, Hanyu-kun remember tomorrow morning at ten o’clock, let’s forget about today, let’s go out to play another day.”

“No problem, I will treat you another day.”

Hideki Hanyu sent Yukio Tanaka to the door, and as soon as he returned to the room, his stomach started growling.

Seeing that it was getting late, he was too lazy to go out to eat, so he simply cooked instant noodles by himself, and went to rest after eating.

Even though he slept for a while in the afternoon, how can he recover from the exhaustion of two days so easily.

So when Hideki Hanyu lay on the bed, he fell into a deep sleep after a while.

Early the next morning, Hideki Hanyu in sportswear ran along the perimeter of Koishikawa Korakuen.

Someone recognized him along the way, and at most they just greeted him happily, without any aggressive behavior.

After all, he has also lived here for a while, and he often comes here for morning jogs, and has basically met all the people who come here often.

In the past, reporters would come to the camp early in the morning to take photos of him running and exercising.

It turned out that he often came for running, and stopped coming after taking too many shots.

After exercising, Hideki Hanyu returned to the master house.

After breakfast, I packed up my appearance, called Uemura Reiko to come over to help feed the cat at noon, and then went to Tanaka’s house in Shinagawa District.

Although when he arrived at Tanaka’s house, it was still a while before the appointed time, but when he entered the door, he found that Yanai was here earlier than him.

And to his embarrassment, both the Yanai family and the Tanaka family attached great importance to this meeting.

They all brought the elite employees of their respective clubs.

On Yanai Masa’s side, the senior store manager in charge of warehousing, logistics, and the store were all present.

The same goes for the Tanaka family, the production director, the master chef, and the factory management were all present.

Hanyu Hideki looked at himself again, he was alone and went to the meeting alone, even his assistant Reiko Uemura was arranged to feed the cat at home.

Looking at other people’s suits and leather shoes, he was dressed in casual clothes, looking like a college student on a spring outing, and it didn’t look like he was here to talk about business.

But it’s all here, and it’s too late to call someone now.

In fact, even if he was asked to call someone, he didn’t know who to call, after all, none of his subordinates knew how to do it.

As for the clothes on his body, he didn’t care even more.

Clothes are not about what you are wearing, but who is wearing them.

Even if he came in board shorts and flip flops, that was the center of attention.

With strong self-regulation ability, Hideki Hanyu’s embarrassment quickly disappeared.

Facing the eyes of everyone looking at him, Hideki Hanyu greeted him generously.

“Everyone came so early, I thought I was late.”

After saying hello, he was not polite, and sat directly next to Yanai Masa and Mrs. Tanaka.

“Good morning Hanyu-san, you look really energetic today.” Yanai said with a smile.

“Eat well, sleep well, and of course feel refreshed.”

After Hanyu Hideki dealt with Yanai Masa, he said to Mrs. Tanaka, “Mrs. Tanaka, since everyone is here, let’s start.”

“Okay, let’s get started.”

Mrs. Tanaka said to Hideki Hanyu after the announcement, “Hanyu-san, I still have a lot of questions about the details of Uniqlo’s plan, Yanai-san and I, and then the specific person in charge will consult with Hanyu-san. Hanyu-san has no problem. “

Hanyu Hideki heard the words, looked around, and saw the eyes of a circle of professional leaders looking at him, which really had all kinds of meanings.

Scrutiny, doubts, contempt, suspicion, in short, there is no one who approves.

Obviously, these elites who have been in the industry for many years do not approve of him, the hairless project initiator.

But this is not surprising. Although he is well-known, it is as a writer, as a creator of literature and art.

He has nothing to do with the clothing industry, and it is certain that people will question his ability.

He figured it out, today he was going to be Zhuge Liang for a while, going to a banquet alone and “talking against the Confucians”.

“I have no problem. If you have any questions, you can ask them directly.” Hideki Hanyu was not afraid.

“Hanyu-san, then let the people on my side start.”

Yanai said, pointing to a middle-aged man, “This Omae-san is the person in charge of Ogori Shoji’s warehouse. He has some doubts about the project and wants to consult Hanyu-san.”

“Ozen-san, feel free to tell me if you have any questions about the project.” Hanyu Hideki looked at Ozen-san.

Omae-san took out a notebook, apparently doing his homework in advance.

“Mr. Hanyu, your description of effective inventory control in the planning book is rather vague, can you explain it in detail?”

After Hanyu Hideki heard this, he thought for a while and began to answer.

“With regard to the issue of effective inventory control, we must look at it in combination with retail sales. After my investigation, I found that nearly 50.00% of the turnover of major clothing brand stores in Ginza is concentrated on the two days of the weekend. Monday to Friday is actually the recovery of the store. Period, we…”

Facing the piercing eyes of the crowd, Hanyu Hideki calmly spoke with eloquence.

He talked about sales rules from targeted market research, and from retail cycle to store purchase authority.

From how to formulate a sales plan scientifically, to how to stock up differently after the store expands, etc.

He peeled off the content roughly mentioned in the planning book, broke it apart bit by bit, and told the person who asked the question.

As a result, Omae-san only asked how to effectively control inventory, but Hanyu Hideki told him the hidden system rules behind inventory control.

The scientific experience accumulated and summed up by countless people in these later generations made the elites present mesmerized.

In the beginning, Omae-san asked alone, listened alone, and recorded alone.

As a result, no matter the senior store manager, the person in charge of logistics, or even the senior employees of the Tanaka family, they were surprised to find that the content of Hideki Hanyu’s narration also included the content of their work, and they recorded it together with them.

And the feelings of suspicion, distrust, and contempt towards Hideki Hanyu gradually disappeared.

On the contrary, what they felt about Hideki Hanyu at this time was one of surprise, admiration, and approval, with a little bit of doubt.

We must know that the clothing retail industry is an industry that takes time to accumulate experience.

But the young Hideki Hanyu in front of him has experience, ability, and solid theoretical knowledge, and he knows how to conduct market research in a targeted manner.

This simply overturned their cognition.

After much deliberation, everyone can only use genius to explain.

After all, the other party has created such a big business at a young age, and can still cooperate with his own boss. He is not a genius and cannot do this.

“So, to sum up, everyone must already know that scientific and effective inventory control is a multi-faceted and systematic work that requires the cooperation of multiple departments.”

After talking a lot, Hideki Hanyu felt a little thirsty, so he took a sip of the tea made by the future richest man.

“Omae-san, is there anything else you don’t understand?”

After drinking tea, Hanyu Hideki wanted to ask Ohmae-san if he had any questions.

But when I raised my head, I found that not only Omae-san, but everyone was buried in their notebooks, carefully recording with pens.

“Are you okay?”

Hideki Hanyu was a little surprised, how could these people all take notes after answering a question.

“Hanyu-san, please give them some time to understand.”

Yanai Masa said with admiration while serving tea for Hanyu Hideki.

“Hanyu-kun, you are simply amazing!” Yukio Tanaka looked at Hideki Hanyu with bright eyes.

“Hanyu-san, if you have time someday, I would like to ask you to give a lesson to the management of Tanaka Garments.”

Mrs. Tanaka also had a convinced expression on her face.

“If Hanyu-san really wants to give a lecture, please be sure to inform me. I will bring the management of Ogori Shoji to attend the lecture together.”

Yanai was in a hurry to agree.

Hey?
Shouldn’t it be a script of “Warning Confucianism with tongues”, why did he just talk a little bit about inventory control, and he was completely convinced.

His MKTG course (marketing course), but he has prepared a lot of things, and it is over before it starts?
“Let’s forget about the class. I only know a little bit about these, and I will learn from the seniors in the future.”

Hideki Hanyu still has self-knowledge. He is just talking on paper, talking about things prepared in the plan, and relying on the theoretical knowledge summarized by later generations to bluff others.

If we go deeper, especially if we go deeper into the market reality, I am afraid that the truth will be revealed.

After speaking, he looked at the elites who had finished taking notes, and asked, “Is there anything else you want to ask about the content of the project? Just say it.”

“I have a question.”

On the side of Tanaka Garments, a female person in charge of the management of the garment factory stepped forward and asked Hideki Hanyu in a respectful tone.

“What Hanyu-sensei just said is about production and logistics…”

Next, each person in charge asked questions one by one about the planning content specified by Hideki Hanyu.

Hideki Hanyu also answered one by one, and he was busy until noon before he knew it.

After eating the lunch arranged by Tanaka’s family, the discussion on the specific details of the project continued.

This discussion continued until it was dark outside before it was all over.

Yukio Tanaka, who is not interested in professional content at all, is already blurred. If Mrs. Tanaka is not on the sidelines, I am afraid that he would have slipped away.

After a day of discussion, Hanyu Hideki managed to convince the elites.

Similarly, because of his performance, Yanai Zheng and Mrs. Tanaka are more optimistic about the future of Uniqlo.

“Since there is no doubt about the content of the project, then we will officially enter the preparations for the launch of Uniqlo.” Mrs. Tanaka said.

“According to the plan, the opening time of the store is set for next spring, and the preparation time left for us is very tight.”

It is now September, and Yanai Masa feels that the time pressure is quite heavy.

“There is an idiom in China that everything depends on human efforts. Whether we can succeed depends on how determined we can be. The design department needs to be in charge of Yanai-san, and then cooperate with Mrs. Tanaka’s production work. After the store sales personnel are confirmed, I will personally conduct training. …”

Even if he was facing the richest man in Neon in the future, Hanyu Hideki arranged work unceremoniously.

Especially for the training of front-line personnel, he is going to personally grasp it.

Even if he is a major shareholder in Uniqlo, he must cultivate some of his own people.

This is not only to grasp the front-line power, but also to cultivate talents in advance for other plans.

In this way, after discussing the content of the plan and finishing the final work arrangement before opening the store, the moon is already in the sky outside and the sky is full of stars.

“Ah! Is it over?”

Yukio Tanaka, who had dozed off at some point, woke up suddenly and found that everyone was about to leave.

Seeing this, Mrs. Tanaka knocked her son on the head angrily.

Think about Hideki Hanyu talking eloquently today, explaining the plan calmly, and then arranging work calmly afterwards.

Mrs. Tanaka couldn’t figure out why her son didn’t make any progress after being with such a person for so long, and instead became more and more useless.

It seems that if Uniqlo really succeeds in the future, she will tell her good son to stand by Hideki Hanyu no matter what happens.

A hundred years from now, how the Tanaka family will develop, the son is unreliable, and can only rely on Hideki Hanyu.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Tanaka involuntarily looked at Hideki Hanyu, thinking that it would be even better if Hideki Hanyu could marry Hitomi Kuroki.

But hearing his son talk about Hanyu Hideki’s attitude towards relationships, it is obviously impossible to get married in a short time.

Mrs. Tanaka felt that it was necessary to call Kuroki Hitomi back, and teach him what to pay attention to when being a wealthy woman.

Let Kuroki Hitomi know that as long as the person is his own, there is no need to be too harsh on a man emotionally, especially a good man.

At this time, Hideki Hanyu, who had already hung shoulders with Yukio Tanaka and was about to finish dinner with Yanai Masa, went to find happiness, didn’t know.

Mrs. Tanaka is already thinking about his marriage with Kuroki Hitomi.

If he knew, he might be too scared to contact Kuroki Hitomi.

Are you kidding me? He managed to travel through time, worked hard to write books, run a business, and made a lot of money, all for the sake of living a chic, free and happy life.

It’s not for stepping into the marriage cage so quickly.

After eating and drinking enough, in the karaoke box of a private nightclub in Roppongi, a beautiful woman leaned on Hideki Hanyu’s body and acted like a baby.

“Mr. Hanyu, you haven’t been here for a long time.”

“Really? Let the teacher check your body, why do you feel fat again?”

When Hideki Hanyu was talking, he stuffed a few ten thousand yuan bills into the waitress’ clothes.

The waitress, who was originally shy and pretended to be dodging, immediately became obedient like a little sheep.

Together with Yanai Masa and Tanaka Yukio until the wee hours of the morning, the drunk three walked out of the nightclub shoulder to shoulder.

Stimulated by the cool evening breeze in September, several people were slightly awake.

Looking at the stars and the bright moon in the sky, listening to the farewell sound of the waitress behind.

Hanyu Hideki gently asked Yukio Tanaka, “Yukio-san, do you feel empty at this time?”

“Empty, it’s a bit.” Yukio Tanaka said.

“what?”

Both Hanyu Hideki and Yanai Masa looked at Tanaka Yukio strangely, they didn’t expect Tanaka Yukio who has always been heartless to feel empty.

Looking at the eyes of the two friends, Tanaka Yukio showed a complaining expression.

“Every time I go out with Hanyu-kun, I can’t take girls with me. It must be empty to go home alone.”

“Haha, as expected of Tanaka-kun.” Yanai was amused by Yukio Tanaka’s answer.

Hanyu Hideki also laughed, “Yukio-san is right, the emptiness is just because there are no girls to accompany him.”

Yukio Tanaka looked at the two friends and laughed. Although he didn’t know why, he also laughed.

On the streets of Tokyo at night, three men laughed loudly on the street, causing occasional passers-by to look sideways.

But the three of them didn’t care, they just continued to let the laughter float further.

There is happiness, relaxation, and a hint of doubt in the laughter.

……

Yunshang Culture, Hideki Hanyu just checked the progress of the three game studios and the hardware department downstairs.

Everything was basically going according to plan, Hideki Hanyu did not interfere with their work, and went directly to the president’s office on the top floor.

“Hanyu-san looks much better than before.” Eri Kitahara said when they met.

“After a few days of rest, it must be much better.”

Today is already a week after the end of the Uniqlo planning discussion.

Hideki Hanyu didn’t go anywhere these days, other than chatting on the phone with his girlfriend, he was busy creating on the third floor and writing some business plans.

That is to say, I will go out for a while to eat, and basically never leave the Wanshiwu.

“Although work is important, Hanyu-san should also pay attention to his body. The practice of not sleeping for two days before cannot continue in the future.”

Eri Kitahara urged emphatically.

“Be more concerned about Kitahara-san, it won’t happen in the future.” Hanyu Hideki’s answer was very casual.

Eri Kitahara understood when she heard the words, but Hideki Hanyu didn’t listen at all.

Seeing that Eri Kitahara wanted to continue persuading him, Hideki Hanyu hurriedly found a topic and asked, “I asked Kitahara-san to expand our sales channels, how is the progress now?”

Seeing Hideki Hanyu change the subject, Eri Kitahara knew that Hideki Hanyu didn’t want to talk about the past, so he took advantage of the opportunity to talk about the construction of sales channels.

“The number of regular employees in the sales department has expanded from the original 22 to 56. In terms of the sales coverage of arcade games and hand-made toys, we have expanded from the original 24 major cities to [-] cities. The power can basically cover all major neon markets.”

Hanyu Hideki nodded in satisfaction after listening.

“It’s good, but it’s not enough. We need to continue to strengthen our sales channels.”

“Hanyu-san, our current sales staff size is more than [-] million yen per year just for staff salaries. We only sell the original old games and toys, and also act as agents for other manufacturers’ products. It is already beyond our means. How can we strengthen our sales force? ?”

Eri Kitahara asked with some incomprehension.

“This is my reinforcement plan.”

Hideki Hanyu took out a document that he had written at home in the past few days, and handed it to Eri Kitahara.

Eri Kitahara took the document and read it carefully.

The plan document written by Hideki Hanyu was very thick, and it took Eri Kitahara a long time to read it before she roughly finished it.

After reading it, she looked at Hideki Hanyu and asked with a puzzled expression, “Show, what is this?”

Hanyu Hideki pointed to the file.

“Didn’t I write it clearly? This is a direct-sale store that specializes in selling games and peripheral products. Now it also needs to take care of arcade games. After-sales service may be added later.”

“Will so many stores be built in the early stage?”

Eri Kitahara looked at Hideki Hanyu’s plan to launch a store to coincide with the release of the digital pet ‘Tamako’.

The first batch of stores include Tokyo, Sapporo, Osaka, Nagoya, Kyoto, Fukuoka, and Hiroshima.

“I’m sure. If you don’t expand the scale, then it’s better not to do it. I will also attach the decoration design plan of the store. The preparatory work can be handed over to the employees in various places, but the specific decision cannot be handed over to them. It will take a lot of work. I took people to every shop.”

“I understand.” Even though Eri Kitahara still didn’t understand, Jean decided to listen to Hideki Hanyu’s arrangement.

“I asked Kitahara-san to go to the front line, not just for the purpose of supervision. I have formulated the operation and assessment rules of the store in detail in my plan. I hope that after Kitahara-san’s personal inspection, I will modify the inappropriate parts of the plan and make changes to the plan. Carry out promotion and implementation to make the system operate effectively, otherwise the scale will continue to expand in the future, and we can’t personally supervise every time we open a store.”

Hideki Hanyu still attaches great importance to the [Spirit Show] directly-operated store. This will be the most important business card of Spirit Entertainment for customers, and it will be the most advanced position in the layout of the Spirit Entertainment industry.

“Don’t worry Hanyu-san, I won’t let you down.” Eri Kitahara promised.

“That’s good, feel free to communicate with me if you have any questions.”

While Hideki Hanyu was busy creating and working in Tokyo, the crew of Oki Kurokawa in Hokkaido was also shooting at a leisurely pace.

This is a sequel to “I’m Sorry So Cute”, but the actual title of the film is “Girl’s Travel”. The filming scene was not selected in Sapporo, the largest city in Hokkaido.

After Oki Kurokawa received sufficient financial support from Yunying Pictures and Shochiku, he made waves when he came to Hokkaido.

Wherever the scenery is beautiful, run towards it.

The filming funds were spent like turnover, but the filming progress was not mentioned at all.

For example, now they have come to the Shiretoko Peninsula in Hokkaido. In the Shiretoko Peninsula’s natural and beautiful national park, the crew has been filming for several days.

Akina Nakamori, who was supposed to be a guest star, has been filming with the crew for almost two weeks.

There were several phone calls a day in Tokyo, urging Akina Nakamori to go back to promote, but Director Kurokawa Oki kept refusing to let him go because the movie was not finished.

The producer who was sent by Yunying Pictures to urge Kurokawa Oki argued with Kurokawa Oki almost every day.

Every time Kurokawa Oki promises to hurry up and shoot, but when he enters the shoot, he still has that unhurried attitude.

What makes Nakamori Akina puzzled is that it is agreed that she is just a cameo.

Are the protagonists the three younger sisters of Vitality Girl?How does it feel like I’ve been filming her scenes every day recently.

Akina Nakamori has been filming with Kurokawa Oki’s crew for so long, but she didn’t understand what she was filming.

Especially those cloudy lines, she herself said it inexplicably.

For example, a person stands by the lake in a daze like that, and then reads according to the requirements of Director Kurokawa Ohki.

“A person is not lonely, only thinking of being alone is lonely.”

Or, “Plant the flowers in a windy place, so that only those who bloom far away will know.”

“What you are looking for is not the answer, but her memory.”

“Go back, what you once had is more precious than the unknown.”

……

In addition to these lines that made Nakamori Akina inexplicable, Nakamori Akina found that her style in the movie was completely different from the previous one.

In the last one, she was just an ordinary student.

In this one, Kurokawa Oki asked the stylist to make her as mature as possible, whether it was makeup or clothes.

After finishing the styling, look at her in the mirror.

Akina Nakamori doesn’t feel like a 17-year-old girl, but like a white-collar worker entering society.

The most important thing is that during the performance, Director Kurokawa Oki tried his best to ask her not to make too many expressions, just to be in a daze or meditate.

And often a story needs to be filmed many times, and she almost collapses before it ends.

Because of this, the film crew wasted a lot of film, and the producer argued with Director Kurokawa Ohki all day long.

But the problem is that most of the filming has been completed so far. Everyone knows that the film seems to be different from the plan, but it is already too late.

The producer, too, could only restrain Supervisor Kurokawa as much as possible and let him complete the shooting as soon as possible. He was too lazy to delve into details such as wasting film.

In this way, after a week of dawdling in the Shiretoko Peninsula, the crew moved to Furano to focus on filming.

As for Akina Nakamori, who was originally only a cameo, she still couldn’t leave.

At this time, the time has come to late September.

Due to the lack of publicity by Akina Nakamori, there was still a chance to go further. The single “Girl A”, which competed with the Blue Girl group for the first place, did not sell well throughout mid-to-late September.

Not only was it completely overwhelmed by Blue Girl, but it was even overtaken by the single “待つわ” by the duo of あみん, and fell to the third place on the Oricon chart.

Recently, he was either busy training Uniqlo clerks, or Hanyu Hideki, who was keeping an eye on the development progress of “Mario Brothers”, only learned about it from his assistant on this day.

Because Akina Nakamori was shooting a movie in Hokkaido, the album promotion for the entire September was delayed.

“What do you mean? Isn’t Ming Caijiang a guest star? Why haven’t you come back yet?”

Assistant Uemura Reiko explained.

“As far as I know, it was Director Kurokawa who explained that Cai Jiang’s performance was better, and decided to add drama to Ming Cai Jiang.”

Seeing that the assistant didn’t know what was going on, Hideki Hanyu had no choice but to return to Yunying Painting in person and came to Asako Hirohashi’s office.

Hirohashi Asako, who was dealing with work, saw Hideki Hanyu appearing, and smiled in pretended surprise.

“Didn’t Hanyu-san say that the Shinagawa area is relatively busy, so you don’t come here when you have nothing to do?”

“Didn’t I hear that Ming Caijiang went to Hokkaido to shoot a movie and delayed the promotion of the record, so I came here to ask what’s going on.”

Hanyu Hideki stated the purpose of this trip.

“Actually, it’s not just Akina-chan who has been delayed. The Genki Girls didn’t come back. Matsushita-san from YM Records came to me before Hanyu-san for the single and TV Asahi for the recording of the program.”

Hirohashi Asako said with a very indifferent expression.

“Aren’t Asako-san in a hurry?” Hanyu Hideki asked.

“What’s the use of being anxious, do you know how much Kurokawa’s production cost exceeded the budget?”

Before Hanyu Hideki could answer, Hirohashi Asako answered by herself.

“It has already doubled the original shooting budget.”

“What?” Hideki Hanyu showed an expression of disbelief.

“Not only did the shooting cost exceed double the budget, but according to the two producers I sent, the original script was basically changed beyond recognition.”

“What about the progress of the filming?” Hideki Hanyu asked directly.

“It was quite slow before, but after I filmed the third producer, the shooting progress has been halfway completed.”

As soon as Hirohashi Asako said this, Hanyu Hideki understood without Hirohashi Asako’s explanation.

Right now, Yun Shang Pictures is tied to Kurokawa Oki’s chariot. After spending so much money, the filming is over halfway, and it can’t stop. It can only support Kurokawa Oki to finish the filming.

According to the current progress, even if there are three producers watching in Hokkaido, it is estimated that it will take another month to complete the basic shooting.

“It seems that Hanyu-san understands.” Hirohashi Asako spread her hands helplessly.

“Yeah, I want to see the details of that guy Kurokawa now.”

Hearing Hideki Hanyu’s inexplicable words, Asako Hirohashi asked strangely, “Why are you looking at Kurokawa’s detailed information?”

Hideki Hanyu really wanted to say, he wanted to see if that guy’s real name was ‘Wong Kar Wai’.

He finally experienced the helplessness that the film company felt when meeting Wong Kar Wai and director Cameron.

Hanyu Hideki sighed and said to Hirohashi Asako.

“This incident can be regarded as a lesson for us. Although two films have been successful, they still lack experience. In the future, the supervision of on-site supervision needs to be improved.”

“I’m already working on perfecting it, but at least there’s one thing to be thankful for.”

“What is there to be thankful for?”

“Of course, Shochiku helped us share the cost of this investment. Even if we lose money in the end, we won’t lose too much.”

Hanyu Hideki couldn’t help laughing when he heard Hirohashi Asako’s words.

Shochiku Films watched “I’m Sorry So Cute” at the box office, and it’s almost 40 billion yen at the moment. I guess I still imagined that the sequel would make a lot of money.

Shochiku Films would never have imagined that the second film would come together to invest, and the director would be replaced by “Kurokawa Karei”, and they might fall into trouble with Yun Ying Films.

After laughing, Hanyu Hideki thought of something and hurriedly said it.

“If the Vitality Girls have nothing to do over there, let them come back to record singles and programs first. Ming Caijiang has already delayed, so we can’t all delay there.”

“There is no need to come back early. According to the report from the crew, the scene of the Vitality Girl has been completed today, and I can come back tomorrow.”

Hideki Hanyu heard this, and asked with a weird expression, “Isn’t the vitality girl the main character? How come it’s finished earlier than Akina Nakamori’s cameo.”

“Protagonist? According to the people at the scene, no one knows who is the protagonist of the script that Kurokawa is filming now.”

“Ok.”

Hanyu Hideki was too lazy to ask.

He really didn’t expect that Ooki Kurokawa, who created such a good commercial atmosphere for filming commercials, how to make a movie is like a different person, letting go of himself directly.

“If it’s okay, I’ll leave first. Kitahara-san from Yunshang Culture is not in Tokyo recently, and I need to keep an eye on it in Shinagawa.”

After Hanyu Hideki knew that Hirohashi Asako could handle the problem, he prepared to leave.

“Hanyu-san wait a moment.” Kitahara Eri called out Hanyu Hideki.

“Anything else?”

“TV Asahi wants to talk to you about the cooperation program ‘Genki 100%’.”

“Isn’t Yoshioka-san contacting over there?”

“I don’t know either. It’s an invitation from Shinichi Yoshida, the director of the production bureau over there. I hope to meet Hanyu-san.”

“Is that so? Let Yunshang Yineng make an appointment for me to meet.”

“No need to make an appointment. Director Yoshida called in the morning and said that if Hanyu-san has time, he can go to him tomorrow. I originally wanted to call you at noon, but I didn’t expect you to come here first.”

“That’s it, Asako-san help me to reply, just say that I will go to TV Asahi tomorrow morning at ten o’clock.”

“Ok.”

……

Saying goodbye to Asako Hirohashi, Hideki Hanyu returned to Shinagawa.

Eri Kitahara went to an area outside of Tokyo to be busy with the directly-operated store [Spirit Show], so he had to sit at the headquarters for the time being.

After all, there are many things to be busy in the near future.

To keep an eye on the production of “Mario Brothers”, Eri Kitahara’s directly-operated store has problems and needs him to help as soon as possible.

In addition, Yunshang Culture’s establishment of the “Elf Game” magazine, the establishment of an editorial department, and the establishment of a comic studio all need to be handled by him personally.

The most important thing is that the arcade game “Saint Seiya” developed by Sacred Studios has been completed, and after the internal self-inspection is completed, it is officially submitted to Bandai for acceptance.

This game is mediocre due to the mediocre design of Bandai, so in Hanyu Hideki’s view, even if “Sacred Studio” has made it with great care, it probably won’t become a classic.

It is estimated that Bandai did not plan to make any classic games, as long as the comic fans of “Saint Seiya” like it, it is enough.

But regardless of whether the game will become a classic or not, ‘Sacred Studio’ has indeed been tempered through this game development.

Of course, Hideki Hanyu will not let the tempered Sacred Studio idle, he has already prepared a new game design project for the Sacred Studio.

Originally planning to hand it over to Sacred Studio in the morning, whoever wanted to hear about Akina Nakamori’s work on the set had to go to Yunying Painting.

After Hanyu Hideki rushed back to the elf game non-stop, he immediately went to the office of the sacred studio with the game design proposal.

“Let’s gather together.” Hanyu Hideki called everyone to gather after entering the door.

After everyone assembled, Hanyu Hideki pulled the display board over and clipped the new game plan on it.

“This is the next game that Holy Studios will make.”

Hanyu Hideki pointed to the painted design renderings on the display board and said.

The design renderings show the interior of an ancient Chinese-style building, with two completely different characters standing opposite each other.

Right above the figure’s head, there is a plaque with the word ‘Kung Fu’ written on it.

Below the figure, there are two green lines, and where the lines connect in the middle, the letters ‘KO’ are written.

Just relying on the design renderings, the programmers couldn’t tell what kind of game Hanyu Hideki was going to make.

Of course, Hideki Hanyu knows that it is impossible to let everyone know what kind of game to make with just one rendering.

He pointed to the renderings and began to explain.

“Mr. Bruce Lee’s kung fu movies in Xiangjiang, I think everyone should have watched them. What I will hand over to Shen Studio is a game designed according to the inspiration of kung fu. It is a new type of game. I call it a fighting game. , its name is ‘Kung Fu’, and I will explain to you the design requirements of this game in detail…”

The new game that Hideki Hanyu handed over to Sacred Studio is the originator of fighting games in later generations, the famous “Kung Fu”.

This game was developed by Konami in 1985. It was originally an arcade version, and it became very popular after it was released.

Whether it is standing against each other, separating fists and feet, attacking from high and low positions, and blood bar mode, many settings of this game have become the standard specifications of fighting games in the future.

It is not an exaggeration to call it the originator of fighting games.

Domestic players are more familiar with the FC version of “Kung Fu” with a quite magical soundtrack, which is actually a deleted version transplanted from the arcade to the CF Famicom.

The content of this game in the arcade version is very rich, and the game content is far from what the FC version can match.

However, due to the current limited technical conditions, Hideki Hanyu does not intend to make the most complicated version in the future.

There is a simple story line, the level is set within eight levels, and the most important thing is of course the game mechanism that lays the foundation for subsequent fighting games.

As long as this game is produced, new versions will be released continuously, and technology will continue to accumulate.

After that, “Street Fighter”, “Legend of Hungry Wolf”, and “KOF King of Fighters” are just a matter of course.

In Hideki Hanyu’s plan, the main research and development route of Divine Studio in the future is to focus on fighting games.

Thanks to Slow Tour Books, Mei Yuyou’s tip of Lianyoubaa’s dad, and thanks to Halsey, the son of typhoon, for the five hundred book coins.

Hitomi Kuroki’s original name was mistaken before, it should be Akiko Egami, and it was written as her married name, which has been changed before.
