Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 157: Coffee's murderous intentions, the idea of ​​acquiring a TV station
"What! You want to make a special program for me?"

Onino Film, inside the meeting room.

Gui Yewu looked at the young man and woman in front of him in surprise.

The other party came to him on his own initiative, representing an independent program production company called "Somei Planning" and inviting Takeshi Ono to participate in the production of an entertainment program.

"Yes, Director Onino."

A man named Somei Shogo, the president of this small program production company, came to visit in person and explained in earnest.

"The program we planned is called "24-hour Close Contact with the Famous Supervisor". We hope to show Supervisor Onino's daily life and work through 24-hour tracking filming."

Assistant Maiko Kuzumi added: "Director Onino, you are a well-known director with achievements that are obvious to all. The audience must be very curious about the daily life of a famous director and how he made such an amazing movie.

This program will allow viewers and your fans to get to know you better through the lens of the camera.”

Despite the two men's exaggerated words and compliments, Gui Yewu remained indifferent.

Filming yourself 24 hours a day?

Gui Yewu refused without thinking. Who would be willing to expose his privacy to outsiders without reservation?

Besides, he is a famous director and does not need to rely on such gimmicky variety shows to attract popularity.

What bizarre and crappy programs these two people planned. No wonder he had never heard of this Somei Planning. It must be a small, unknown company.

I guess there isn't much business, so he's just dreaming of taking advantage of his name to make a fortune.

Seeing that Onino Takeshi's expression did not change, Somei Shogo and Kuzumi Maiko looked at each other and thought that something was wrong. The former quickly added:
"Director Gui Ye, we are very sincere, and this program will be co-operated with Dongdu TV, and they will strongly support it!"

Maiko Kuzumi also assured: "If you are concerned about privacy issues, you can stop the filming at any time when it is inconvenient. We will also give you the finished footage for review in advance to ensure that no footage that affects your image will be broadcast."

Unfortunately, no matter what the two said, Gui Yewu remained unmoved.

"Then may I ask," Onino Takeshi looked at Somei Shogo with a scrutinizing look, "has your program been recognized by Toudou TV?"

"This one……"

Somei Shogo's expression froze and he stammered, unable to say anything.

A glimmer of understanding flashed across Gui Yewu's eyes.

As expected, these two guys are just trying to get something for nothing.

First use the name of Dongdu TV to impress him, and then use his fame to persuade Dongdu TV in return. This is a good plan.

Unfortunately, Gui Yewu had no interest in this.

"Please go back, we will have a chance to cooperate again in the future."

Gui Yewu did not blame anyone and politely declined the offer.

Upon hearing this, Somei Shogo and Kusumi Maiko couldn't help but look dejected.

The former opened his mouth and wanted to persuade him again, but was pulled back by Maiko Hisumi next to him.

They suddenly realized that the person in front of them was not the unknown person they had met before, but a genius director who broke box office records and won numerous awards. How could their small Somei Planning afford to offend him?

If I continue talking, I will only make myself look bad.

In the end, I could only say goodbye and leave dejectedly, feeling helpless.

Watching the two people leaving, Tomie Kawakami at the door was not surprised at all. It would be a miracle if such a program planning could invite Takeshi Onino.

All I can say is that the two of them are indeed a little wishful thinking. It's not so easy to take advantage of the popularity of a genius supervisor.

However, he was called in by Onino Takeshi, who ordered him to "check the details of Somei Planning."

Kawakami Tomie looked slightly surprised. Could it be that those two guys really offended Onino Takeshi?
……

Downstairs, Somei Shogo and Kuzumi Maiko got into the car.

"What should we do now?"

Maiko Kuzumi frowned, her face full of distress.

Somei Shogo smiled bitterly: "In fact, we have already expected this, right? He is a genius supervisor, and we have no bargaining chips to impress him."

Maiko Kuzumi looked at the man in front of her worriedly: "But if we can't produce another successful program, the company will..."

Somei Shogo's face darkened, then he took a deep breath and forced a smile to comfort her: "It's okay, there are more than just Onino Takeshi who meet the requirements. Don't we have a backup plan?"

Maiko Kuzumi's eyes lit up: "Yes, 'Sleeping Kogoro' has been very popular recently, maybe we can convince him!"

"So, it's far from time to despair~"

Somei Shogo pulled himself together and said with a smile.

Kuzumi Maiko nodded, looked at him tenderly, and said firmly: "No matter what, I will always be with you!"

Somei Shogo's eyes softened and he looked steadily at the woman who had always stood beside him, without saying anything else.

Start the car and drive towards the Maori Detective Agency.

……

"This is the Somei Project's investigation report."

Tomie Kawakami placed a document in front of Takeshi Onino.

"As expected of Tomie, she is so efficient."

Gui Yewu praised casually.

Kawakami Tomie rolled her eyes secretly and walked away without paying any attention.

Gui Yewu chuckled and then opened the file.

There wasn't much content inside, and Gui Yewu read it all at a glance.

Just as he guessed, Somei Planning was indeed just a small micro company.

Founded by Somei Shogo after he graduated from university.

So far, they haven't produced many successful works. The only one that has gained considerable popularity is a celebrity travel variety show, which ended up causing a fake eating scandal.

Not only did he get into a lot of trouble, but the show was also forced to be cut short.

Under such circumstances, the company's business has been deteriorating and has now fallen into a crisis. If there is no improvement, it will probably follow in the footsteps of Tsuburaya.

Somei Shogo saw it all and was very worried, so he tried every possible means and put everything on this show, and even tried to take advantage of Onino Takeshi's popularity.

Close the document.

Gui Yewu shook his head.

The reason why he was concerned about this was not a whim, but because he recognized these two people - the protagonists of an equally difficult case.

If I'm not mistaken, Somei Shogo and the others should go find Kogoro Mori and persuade him to participate in the show.

Then, during the cooperation with Toudou TV Station, he was threatened by an unscrupulous producer, who not only demanded a huge kickback, but also made excessive demands that Maiko Kuzumi accompany him.

In the end, it should be the same as in the original plot. In order to save her lover's company, Maiko Kusumi chose to kill the producer and then jumped off the building to commit suicide.

In order to avoid damaging Maiko Hisami's reputation, Somei Shogo chose to take the blame for the murder himself.

A sad tragedy.

Although the two of them played some tricks, Gui Yewu still recognized the feelings between them.

I also sympathize with their plight.

The reason he was investigating these things was not entirely out of sympathy, but because Gui Yewu had another idea.

In his vision, Onino Eiga will develop in a diversified direction. He himself focuses on making movies, but Onino Eiga still needs supplementation and expansion in other aspects.

TV dramas are one, and there is also the artist economy, Tsuburaya’s special effects films, and surrounding industries, etc.

There will be other aspects in the future.

Onino Takeshi's goal is to build an entertainment media empire!
But so far, Onino Eiga is still missing one thing, and that is a voice.

If you want others to hear what you want to say, you must seize the high ground of public opinion.

He had been slandered many times before by people with ulterior motives but he seldom refuted. In addition to his disdain for these scum, it was also because he lacked a channel to speak out.

The mouthpiece of public opinion is an indispensable and important part of a media empire.

He had been thinking about this issue for a long time.

And now, the opportunity has come!

Gui Yewu has a target, and he has set his sights on... Dongdu TV Station!

There is no need to feel strange, because Dongdu TV is private, which means it can be acquired.

You read that right, this TV station is privately owned.

In Japan, television stations are mainly divided into public broadcasting and commercial broadcasting.

Public broadcasting organizations such as NHK, similar to CCTV, are public television stations and are not privately owned.

Commercial broadcasters are privately owned television stations, including NTV, Fuji, TBS, Asahi and TV Tokyo.

By the way, Tokyo TV is that weird TV station that insisted on broadcasting cartoons even during the Great Neon Earthquake.

There are many more such willful things.

For example, they openly broadcast anti-Japanese dramas, even with Chinese and Japanese subtitles.

While the Emperor was giving his speech, TV Tokyo was teaching people how to make sushi.

While the national media was focusing on the important matter of the yuan change, Tokyo TV continued to introduce the fish dishes of the New Neon Cuisine Restaurant to its viewers.

Neon won the right to host the Olympic Games and major TV stations reported on it. Tokyo TV chose this time to promote the necklace.

The list goes on and on.

What’s even more amazing is that in 2017, Tokyo TV directly broadcast a documentary revealing the truth about Unit 731.

She can be regarded as a breath of fresh air in the media industry and the sixth princess of Japan.

Closer to home.

In this world, TV stations like Nichimi TV and Toudou TV are all private TV stations.

The largest shareholder behind Dongdu Television is Neon Economic News Agency. Who is the largest shareholder behind Neon Economic News Agency?
Suzuki Group!

This gave Takeshi Ono an idea. He didn't seek to completely acquire Toudou TV, but he could at least acquire a portion of the shares and make Ono Eiga one of the shareholders.

If it is successful, then Onino Eiga will need to add a TV program production department.

It is obvious that Takeshi Ono has taken a fancy to Somei Planning.

Although this is just an ordinary small company, it has everything it needs.

After reading the information, Takeshi Ono found that Somei Shogo was very ambitious when he started his business, and he recruited practitioners with professional capabilities.

It's a pity that the company has bad luck and has failed repeatedly. The biggest problem actually lies with the president Somei Shogo.

This guy has the ability, but his vision is really poor. Every program plan he comes up with has some problems. In addition, he has a stubborn personality and will not turn back until he hits a wall. How can he not fail?

Although many of his employees left due to the poor business conditions, there are still some left.

And these people are exactly what Onino Eiga needs.

If we can take over Somei Planning, we can save a lot of effort and use it as the framework to directly set up a TV program production department.

Somei Shogo didn't know that he was just attracted by Onino Takeshi's popularity and wanted to take advantage of it, but ended up having his eyes on his company.

I wonder how you would feel if you knew.

As for how to pry into the Suzuki Group and acquire the next part of Touto Television's shares, Takeshi Ono also has an idea.

I returned to the president's office and picked up an extremely exquisite invitation that Qingdao Meicai had just brought in.

Open it——

【…We sincerely invite Director Takeshi Onino to attend the 'Suzuki Foundation 4th Anniversary Dinner' on the 'Sally Beth' cruise ship at Yokohama Port on April 19th…

Shiro Suzuki

As he stroked the invitation card inlaid with gold foil, which was obviously worth a lot of money, Gui Yewu raised the corner of his mouth meaningfully.

Isn't the opportunity right here at your doorstep?
If I remember correctly, Kaito Kid will steal the Suzuki family heirloom - the black pearl called "Dark Star" at this banquet.

As long as he can stop Kaito Kidd and protect the Dark Star, the Suzuki family will have to do this favor.

Of course, it is not wise to take the opportunity to ask for a purchase in order to repay a favor. Even if the Suzuki family agrees, it will weaken their relationship and the loss will outweigh the gain.

Therefore, Takeshi Ono's plan is to find a way to suppress the share price of Touto Television, and then buy it at a low price. With the previous favors, the Suzuki Group will probably not stop him.

Such normal business behavior will not cause resentment from the other party.

The opportunity to attack the stocks of Toudou Television also came from Somei Shogo.

Gui Yewu's eyes flickered slightly. He was quite interested in the "magician under the moonlight"...
