Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 238 The solution to negative news

Hanyu Hideki left Tokyo for only a short time.

Not much happened.

On the last day of September, Dentsu and Yunshang Entertainment jointly issued an announcement.

The announcement is very long, but the general meaning is that the two clubs will join forces with other investors to establish Storm Advertising Co., Ltd.

Storm Advertising Co., Ltd. will focus on content and explore overseas advertising markets.

At the same time, it is also to provide better advertising services for overseas brands in Neon.

……

This announcement has little impact on the brand side.

But for the neon advertising industry, entertainment industry, and film and television industry, the influence is explosive.

Everyone in the industry understands the meaning of Yunshang Entertainment's name in the shareholder list of Storm Advertising.

On behalf of this company, he has become one of the top rule makers in the circle.

Even if it only involves overseas brands.

And look at what is said in the content of the announcement, with the content as the core.

I understand that although Yunshang Entertainment is a minority shareholder, its rights will never be small.

After all, no matter how other investors look at it, they are just here to share benefits and provide background support.

The real work is probably still entertainment on the cloud.

For a time, people in the industry were divided.

The parties who have been happy with Yunshang Entertainment in the past will only continue to have a good relationship with Yunshang Entertainment.

As for those who have a normal relationship with Yunshang Entertainment, or those who are slightly unhappy, and who can make up, they will come to express their apologies immediately.

And what can't be made up for, such as the Johnny & Associates, whose bayonet was popular before.

At this time, it was already gloomy.

In the past, Yunying Pictures only relied on advertising production, and they targeted their artists in various ways.

Although Yun Shang Pictures keeps emphasizing that when they choose advertising actors, they are based on the quality of the advertising and will not use power for personal gain.

However, since the rise of Yun On Pictures, the number of Johnny & Associates artist endorsements has begun to drop precipitously, but this is an indisputable fact.

For this reason, Johnny & Associates communicated with Dentsu a lot.

But even if the artists from Johnny's & Associates are not used, the brand's advertising effect is not bad.

So even if it's box office, no one is willing to take the risk of asking for a replacement actor.

If the ratings are not good, then it will be the responsibility of the person who asked to change the actor in the commercial.

Now Yunshang Pictures has reorganized Yunshang Entertainment, and even established Storm Ads with Dentsu.

It means that overseas brand advertisements that were able to bypass Yun On Picture's reception in the past will no longer be able to keep them.

When the Kitagawa siblings saw this announcement, they even wanted to ask Yunshang Entertainment to bow their heads and apologize.

And Johnny is so unlucky, and the industry colleagues are also happy to see it.

Because of the vacant share of Johnny's male idols, they all have a chance.

After all, Yunshang Entertainment has always done things fairly.

Although there are artists in the family, they didn't give all the advertisements to their artists in an ugly manner.

On the contrary, except for important publicity periods, Yunshang Entertainment will even deliberately reduce the exposure of its artists in advertisements.

This is also the reason why industry peers are more convinced.

Ask yourself, if they have this kind of resources, they don't even want to sell an advertising opportunity.

The movement made by Yunshang Entertainment and Dentsu this time is not insignificant.

Storm Advertising Co., Ltd. is determined to hold an inauguration ceremony on October th.

Anyone with a bit of energy in the industry is looking for relationships in every possible way and wants to participate in this ceremony.

Especially the artists in the industry, who wouldn't want to get acquainted with each other in this place destined to gather bigwigs.

The few places to perform were almost overwhelmed.

As the organizer, Yunshang Entertainment has almost been breached by related parties recently.

Hideki Hanyu was in such a situation. He received a call from Asako Hirohashi as soon as he returned to Neon.

He could only hand over the follow-up work after the inspection to Jiang Shangjinzi, and then rushed to the headquarters of Yunying Painting without stopping.

It should be called entertainment on the cloud now.

The Lamborghini roared all the way, attracting the attention of countless passers-by, and finally came to the headquarters of Yunshang Entertainment in Xinqiao, Hong Kong.

Hanyu Hideki parked the car and found that the building under construction had changed again.

I don't know how far the internal construction is going.

But the glass curtain wall of the facade has been completed.

The curtain wall on the front of the building has a very beautiful curvature.

At the top there are workers installing some pipe spouts.

When completed, there will be a man-made waterfall of more than 15 meters.

At the time of the original design, Hideki Hanyu did not approve.

But everyone else thinks it looks good and looks great.

Hideki Hanyu can only be said to be exaggerated and frothy.

These are the people who like this kind of flashy stuff.

But thinking of the coming of the bubble in the future, Neon collectively pursued this exaggerated effect.

With just this artificial waterfall, the building will be able to sell tens of millions more by then, so Hideki Hanyu agreed to the design.

Anyway, whether it's the building or the land, it's all his.

When the time comes to sign a lease contract, it doesn't need to be too long, just five years.

Then, before the housing price plummeted, the land and the building were sold together.

There is no need to be afraid that the new landlord will evict the person, because the lease term has not yet ended, and the person who bought the house may come crying and beg Yunshang Entertainment to buy the house back.

What if it doesn't sell?
It doesn't matter if you don't sell it, the money has already been earned anyway.

The big deal is to build a new one, and some people will sell the land at that time.

Thinking this way in his heart, Hideki Hanyu got out of the car.

The new office building has not yet opened.

Still working in the old building.

Before he walked from the parking lot to the front, he saw that although the reorganization of Yunshang Pictures had been completed, the sign on the old office building had not been replaced.

The signboard of Yun Shang Hua still hangs.

Entering the office building, the employees greeted each other cautiously.

After another graduation season, there are more new faces.

Seeing him, the atmosphere is also much more serious.

Like the employees who would joke and say hello when they met him before, there were not many of them along the way.

The old employees in the training room, those who can still stay in the club at this time, have basically been promoted to management positions.

If you don't touch the ground in a busy day, you won't have time to wander around the office building.

When he came to Asako Hirohashi's door, before he went in, Asako Hirohashi's secretary said to him, "Chairman Hanyu, President Hirohashi is receiving guests."

"Which one?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"Produced by Watanabe." The secretary replied.

Hearing this name, Hideki Hanyu did not expect it.

Produced by Watanabe, founder of Neon Entertainment.

Although the power in the entertainment industry is not as good as before, it is still a giant in the industry.

The contacts accumulated by the founder Shin Watanabe cannot be underestimated.

"I see."

Hanyu Hideki nodded, "I'll go to the reception room and wait, let me know when someone leaves."

"Yes, President Hanyu."

With the secretary's promise, Hanyu Hideki walked towards the reception room.

Who would have thought that at this moment, Hirohashi Asako's office door was suddenly pushed open.

I saw Hirohashi Asako politely sending the two ladies away.

One of the two ladies is older, with a dignified and steady temperament.

The other is younger, in his early twenties, with upper-middle appearance, but with short hair, he looks quite youthful and beautiful.

The three of them had just left when they saw Hideki Hanyu who was about to leave.

"When did Hanyu-san arrive?" Hirohashi Asako asked.

"I just came."

Hanyu Hideki finished speaking and looked at the two ladies.

Hirohashi Asako hurriedly introduced, "Hayu-san, these two are Mrs. Watanabe, the president of Watanabe Productions, and Mrs. Watanabe's daughter, Miss Mayumi Watanabe."

"Mrs. Watanabe, Miss Watanabe, it's a pleasure to see you."

Hideki Hanyu smiled and said hello.

"Hello, Mr. Hanyu, I didn't expect to meet Mr. Hanyu for the first time on such an occasion. It's really rude."

Mrs. Watanabe returned the gift politely.

"Mr. Hanyu, this is the first time we meet, please take care of me."

Watanabe Manyumi bowed and saluted neatly.

Then he looked at Hideki Hanyu with a little curiosity in his eyes.

As the second lady produced by Watanabe, in terms of background, she doesn't know how much better than Hideki Hanyu.

If I remember correctly, the other party is a little younger than her.

But when it comes to achievements, the gap between them is simply hard to measure.

Storm Advertising was established, and even her mother brought her to visit Yunshang Entertainment to help its artists find opportunities.

"Ms. Watanabe is too polite. You and Mr. Watanabe are seniors who created the rules of the entertainment industry. If you want to say that you are rude, it should be me. To express my apology, I will definitely come to visit in person someday."

"That's really great, Watanabe Productions welcomes Mr. Hanyu very much."

While the two were talking, Hanyu Hideki felt Mayumi Watanabe's gaze on him.

The second lady of the Watanabe family.

In the future, Watanabe will be involved in various scandals and gradually decline.

The TOP COAT firm founded by the other party is a clear stream in the neon art world.

Suda Masaki, Sasaki Nozomi...

These well-known domestic stars are all artists under the other party's banner.

And with his good personality charm, many artists follow him wholeheartedly.

For this, Mr. Hanyu quite appreciates it.

Of course, a large part of the favor is due to a certain novel that he hadn't finished reading before time travel.

After a brief chat at the door, Hideki Hanyu bid farewell to the mother and daughter produced by Watanabe.

Sending the other party to the elevator politely is enough to save face.

Here Hanyu Hideki and Hirohashi Asako return to the office.

On the other side, Misa Watanabe and Mayumi Watanabe got into the car.

Wanyumi Watanabe couldn't help but said to her mother, "President Hanyu should debut as an entertainer."

Mrs. Watanabe smiled when she heard the words, "How can he be an entertainer with his current status."

"I'm just talking casually."

Of course Wanyumi Watanabe knew that even if Hideki Hanyu wanted to be an entertainer, the Neon Nationals would not agree.

After the other party established Yun Shang Pictures, they were basically not publicly responsible for the management of the club.

It is so low-key that everyone can easily ignore Hideki Hanyu's identity in Yunyang Hua.

The industry knows more about Yunying Pictures, but it is actually Asako Hirohashi, a strong woman.

And the more important label on Hideki Hanyu is his own identity as a writer.

He was originally a national teacher with a high social reputation.

After winning the Kate Greenway Award, the public recognition has increased a lot.

Even the cultural circles and the general public feel that Hideki Hanyu is worthy of a cultural medal.

Such a person debuted as an artist, any firm that dared to accept him, just waited to be criticized by the public until it closed.

"What's Wanyumi's impression of him?" Mrs. Watanabe asked suddenly.

"The appearance is very good, and the temperament is also very good. Before today, I thought he was the kind of person who was proud of his talents, but I didn't expect him to be a modest gentleman."

I heard my daughter praised Hideki Hanyu so much.

Mrs. Watanabe smiled even wider, "It seems that Mayumi-chan admires this Hanyu-sensei very much."

"It's not about appreciation, it's just..."

Mayumi Watanabe didn't finish her sentence, as if she realized something, she turned her head and saw the smile on her mother's face, and she couldn't laugh or cry immediately.

"Mother wouldn't want me to have another relationship with him, would she?"

"Why? Can't you? The other party is so good, and you two are about the same age."

"It's really outstanding, but outsiders don't know it, and my mother doesn't know it yet, he..."

Watanabe Wanyumi didn't finish speaking, and Mrs. Watanabe guessed what her daughter wanted to say.

It's nothing more than Hideki Hanyu raising a female artist as a lover.

"Manyumi-chan has worked for so long, can't you see through this matter?

Your father also had women outside, but it was not me who was in charge of Watanabe Productions in the end.

With Hideki Hanyu's status, it is no longer possible to marry a female artist home.

Even if he agrees, those who follow him to start a business and related stakeholders will not agree.

Whether they are idols or actors, no matter how popular they are, they are always at the bottom.

As long as you look high enough and far enough, these people will not appear in your eyes. "

Mrs. Watanabe said earnestly.

In her opinion, if her daughter could get together with Hanyu Hideki, it would be perfect.

The network produced by Watanabe and the strength of Yunshang Entertainment.

With the combination of powerful forces, there will be an unprecedented giant in the world of neon arts.

Wanyumi Watanabe can understand what her mother means.

But for this matter alone, she couldn't accept it.

Even Hideki Hanyu is excellent.

But excellence does not mean coming together.

But at this time, she couldn't continue to refute her mother, so she could only smile helplessly in her heart.

At the same time, in Hirohashi Asako's office.

Hirohashi Asako asked jokingly, "Just now the second lady of the Watanabe family has been watching Hanyu-san."

"Oh, is that so?" Hideki Hanyu gave a look that I don't know.

"A girl with a lot of ideas, she is very suitable for Hanyu-san."

"Appropriate?" Hanyu Hideki pretended to be confused.

"Of course it helps in career."

"Then I shouldn't be looking for her, but I should be looking for a lady from the consortium to marry."

When Hanyu Hideki said this, he knew that if he continued to pretend to be confused, Hirohashi Asako would continue to do so.

Simply point it out.

"The second lady of the Watanabe family is not my type."

Then he made a serious comment, "The height is too short, the legs are not straight enough, and the face is a bit too tough."

"If you are looking for a wife, these are actually not important."

Hirohashi Asako disagreed.

As a career woman, when she evaluates a woman, she cares more about her abilities.

"If you want to get along day and night for a lifetime, you have to be pleasing to the eye first." Hanyu Hideki retorted.

"No one can be beautiful forever, because no one can be forever." Hirohashi Asako said.

"There will always be beauties."

Hideki Hanyu's words instantly made Asako Hirohashi unable to bear it.

"Hanyu-san didn't treat feelings like this before."

When Hanyu Hideki was with that Takarazuka actress before.

She even felt that Hanyu Hideki would settle down just like Ito Shinsuke.

Who would have thought that Hideki Hanyu would go to another extreme after that breakup.

"People will always change." Hanyu Hideki spread his hands.

After he finished speaking, he didn't want to talk about his feelings anymore, so he changed the subject.

"Maybe Asako-san called me here just to talk about this?"

"Of course not." Hirohashi Asako said.

She didn't want to talk any more.

The main reason is that Hanyu Hideki will be annoyed by the rumors, and if she really wants to find a female artist to marry, that is the last thing she wants to see.

"Denttsu asked us to hold the establishment ceremony of the storm advertisement. Many colleagues in the industry want to arrange people to participate, and the competition for the places to perform at the banquet is also very fierce."

Asako Hirohashi said and handed a list to Hideki Hanyu.

"These are people who want to do the show."

Hideki Hanyu took it over and saw that these names, and the related parties behind them, were indeed inappropriate to reject anyone.

"Is Asako-san a sure candidate?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

Hirohashi Asako replied, "Only people from our firm have been identified."

Hanyu Hideki was silent when he heard the words, and tapped the armrest of the chair lightly with his fingers.

Then he said something that surprised Asako Hirohashi, "If we remove our people, the quota will be almost the same."

"This is enough distribution, but is such a good opportunity not to allow our artists to perform?"

Hirohashi Asako asked.

"There is a saying in the Huaxia Ancient Book University that goes like this, horses and horses are not noticed by chickens and pigs. The ice-cutting house does not raise cattle and sheep."

Seeing Hirohashi Asako's confused face, Hanyu Hideki could only explain carefully.

"They want artists to perform, but they want to show their face in terms of the relationship of participating in the ceremony and help the artists develop their careers.

And what they want to pursue is already what we have.

So why should we fight for something that is of no use to us.

On the contrary, it will appear that we are too greedy and leave no chance for others. "

"I understand."

Hirohashi Asako understood what Hanyu Hideki meant, and continued.

"Storm Advertisement was established. We have already made enough limelight. It's time to keep a low profile."

"It's good that Asako-san understands, after all, we joined the storm commercials based on our production capabilities, not artists." Hideki Hanyu said.

Entertainment on the cloud seems to fly very high, but the foundation is still too shallow.

And when attacking Johnny's firm, because of his personal emotions, he did it too obviously.

It has already caused many people in the circle to feel sad when the rabbit dies and the fox dies.

Fortunately, they know how to share benefits in the future, otherwise they will be isolated once they are teamed up in the circle.

No matter how many memories there are in his mind, it will be difficult to develop them.

In the view of Hideki Hanyu now.

If you let him go back to the beginning of the conflict, he will still attack Genis, but it will never be so direct, and he should do it more covertly.

"At the inauguration ceremony, is Hanyu-san ready to speak as a shareholder representative?" Hirohashi Asako asked.

"Isn't Yoshioka-san also a director? Let him speak."

"But……"

Asako Hirohashi didn't want to say it, but she had to admit it.

Shota Yoshioka's influence is far behind that of Hideki Hanyu.

"It doesn't matter, I just need to attend the ceremony, whether I speak or not will not affect the result."

On that occasion, it's not a good thing for him to be too showy.

There are so many important people, if they are not in order, no one will dislike him.

"I see, I will notify Yoshioka-san and let him prepare the speech."

Then the two chatted for a long time about the establishment ceremony of Storm Advertising,
Finally, Hideki Hanyu remembered something, and asked Asako Hirohashi, "Is Akina Nakamori's rest over?"

"I came back three days ago. According to the psychological evaluation reported by Sanzhi Iijima, the recovery is not bad, and the promotion of the new single has already started."

"New single?" Hideki Hanyu was surprised.

"The theme song of travel, the song of sunset."

Hirohashi Asako looked helpless, "This is Hanyu-san's work."

"It turned out to be this song. The movie has been released for three weeks. Is it considered a new single now?"

In Hideki Hanyu's memory, Kondo Scumbag's song is not considered popular in Neon.

Far less than the Chinese cover version of this song, it has a great influence in Asia.

"The performance of this song is very strange, it started out lukewarm, and it only reached No. 32 on the Oricon Chart, which is Ming Caijiang's worst album recently released.

But after the end of the second week, it inexplicably became popular, and it has already entered the top ten this week. "

"Ming Caijiang performed this song very well, and it's normal for the audience to recognize it. Some songs need to be savored slowly."

When watching the preview, Hideki Hanyu also listened to this song.

The arrangement of the movie version gives people a feeling that is very harmonious with the movie.

But compared to the movie, the music itself did not leave a deep impression on him.

I thought I would be as tepid as in the previous life, but unexpectedly, there was a counterattack.

Inexplicably, Hideki Hanyu had a premonition.

This song is likely to help Akina Nakamori break through in the awards.

But if this is the case, he, the songwriter, might get busy with him.

Previously, at the invitation of Tokura Shunichi, he joined the Neon Composers Association.

He also promised the other party that he would participate in the association's awards.

In the first year, you must not release the opponent's pigeons, otherwise you will offend others.

In this case, once "Song of the Sunset" has a good professional reputation.

Maybe I won't be able to go home during the New Year, and I'm going to participate in the Record Awards.

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu felt a little troublesome.

After chatting with Asako Hirohashi for a while, Hideki Hanyu chose to leave.

Coming back this time, it's not just Yunshang Entertainment's business.

The same is true for cloud culture.

Compared with the good news on Yunshang Entertainment.

The news that Eri Kitahara told him was not good.

Sales of the Poké Ball exceeded 30 units on the first day, and began to decline the next day, but then stabilized sales.

Single-day sales are basically maintained at more than 15 units.

In the first seven-day sales week, the final total sales exceeded 130 million units.

Generated sales exceeding 40 billion yen.

After entering the second week, although the sales volume declined slightly, it still remained above units.

But the emergence of a piece of news caused a significant decline in sales.

That is, there are media reports that Pokemon Entertainment has imposed anti-addiction restrictions on Poke Balls sold by Neon.

And America's Poké Ball doesn't.

Such an approach is blatantly discriminatory and discriminates against neon consumers.

Although Eri Kitahara contacted Asako Hirohashi immediately, she suppressed the news.

However, under the manipulation of people with aspirations, the news has not been completely suppressed.

Affected by the negative news, the single-day sales of Poké Balls fell below .

Although for competitors, this is still a very beautiful figure.

But for Elven Entertainment, less money earned is a loss.

On the way to Shinagawa District, Hanyu Hideki kept thinking about this matter.

It is useless to press only the news.

If you don't handle it well, sooner or later someone will move out.

But how to deal with it?
Hideki Hanyu had a headache, and he couldn't think of a solution until he came to Eri Kitahara's office.

But after entering the office, he saw an unexpected person sitting in it.

"Mr. Katz, I didn't expect you to have arrived at Neon."

Hideki Hanyu stepped forward to say hello.

That's right, it was none other than Michael Katz.

For this person who helped him earn a lot of dollars in America, Hideki Hanyu liked it no matter what he looked at.

"I should have come two days ago because I had to deal with some work and I was actually late."

Michael Katz said.

"Mr. Katz is here at Neon, who's in charge at America's side?"

Hideki Hanyu didn't care if Michael Katz was late, he was more worried about that.

The investigation is the investigation, and he can't delay his earning dollars.

"Satoshi Iwata is in charge," said Michael Katz.

"It seems that Mr. Katz admires Satoru Iwata."

Hideki Hanyu thought to himself, Brother Cong is the manager he trained for Elf Entertainment.

Unexpectedly, Nihong was not "willing" to use it, but first took the lead on America's side.

"Satoshi Iwata is very talented and has grown very fast. I trust his ability."

Michael Katz praised Iwata without hesitation.

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he couldn't help feeling emotional.

In this era, it is really rare to have such an American management that does not discriminate against Asians.

As expected of someone who is willing to work for Sega in the future.

and many more!

discriminate……

Hideki Hanyu looked at Michael Katz's face, and thought of the word discrimination, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to his mind.

He thought about how to deal with the negative news about the Poke Ball.

And if used well.

This negative news will no longer affect the sales of Poke Ball and Neon.

Maybe it can help the sales of Poke Balls in Neon to a higher level.
