Japanese Entertainment: A Comeback Beginning from Bankrupt President

"Of course I remember that, but some people can't find any dirt on someone even after more than ten years. We feel we can't wait that long." As a detective, Kurosaki Takuya naturally knew about Izumiya Asako's situation.

His concern was that before he could find any dirt on Yoshioka Yuko, Amano Aki would already be brought down.

We need to consider the size difference between this place and Watanabe Entertainment.

"I understand what you're saying, so we need to prepare for both possibilities," Kazuya Sawashiro smiled confidently, using words to build a stage for Aki Amano. "The platform will send the data back to Tunecore Japan at the end of this month, and I will submit a revenue withdrawal application to them next month. I should be able to receive a considerable amount of revenue by the end of the month. I plan to use this to do something big."

Tunecore Japan's revenue settlement is done in two steps.

The first step is to collect playback and download data from various streaming platforms each month. After Tunecore Japan receives the data, the creator can proceed to the second step, which is the withdrawal application that Kazuya Sawashiro also needs to make.

After you submit your application, Tunecore Japan will review the data. If everything is correct, the earnings will be disbursed in the same month as the application.

Based on the current data, it is estimated that the pre-tax income will exceed 8 million.

Even after paying taxes, he can still retain nearly two-thirds of it, which is still a considerable income overall. As long as Kazuya Sawashiro uses it sparingly, he can definitely achieve what he wants to do.

Upon hearing the words "major event" and the information about profits, Kurosaki Takuya couldn't help but ask a few more questions: "You're not thinking of doing what Watanabe Souta did, hiring people to do illegal work to fabricate dirt on me, are you?"

Spending a lot of money and making a big deal out of it doesn't fit the impression that Kazuya Sawashiro gave Takuya Kurosaki, but Takuya Kurosaki doesn't think there's anything wrong with doing so.

He was neither a simple gentleman nor a hypocrite; he only knew how to repay kindness and avenge wrongs.

If the other party does it, then I can do it too. What's wrong with reciprocity?

"How could you think that? If I did that, wouldn't I be just like that scumbag Watanabe Souta?" Sawashiro Kazuya wasn't happy either, staring at Kurosaki Takuya with a stern face.

Indeed, Ze Chenghe also had experience with illegal evidence collection.

However, illegal evidence collection is not the same as framing someone. It is simply evidence collection using methods not recognized by the court. The evidence obtained can only be used when the other party has something to hide, which means it is evidence specifically used to deal with bad people.

Ultimately, the reason why people need to be distinguished from scum is that people use normal thinking to think about problems, while scum will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

The stronger the enemy you face, the more you need to maintain your public image. If you can't build up goodwill, even if you launch a brilliant counterattack, the general public won't accept you after the enemy falls.

"What we want to achieve is to be able to proudly hold our heads high and tell everyone, no matter where we are, that we are not a shady agency like Watanabe Entertainment, do you understand?" Kazuya Sawashiro made his point clear to Takuya Kurosaki.

As an adult, Kurosaki Takuya fully understood what Sawashiro Kazuya meant.

He was a little happy that he was following such a great person, but he was also a little worried. What would happen if such a person encountered a scoundrel?

Kurosaki Takuya asked cautiously, "What if something like... someone uses multiple layers of gloves to frame someone again?"

"No, you're overthinking it," said Kazuya Sawashiro confidently, pointing to the news about Yuko Yoshioka on the screen. "The fact that Souta Watanabe put this person on the show is proof that he won't act recklessly. Financial and material resources are his forte, and he won't be foolish enough to do something like that again."

"just in case…"

"What if things fall apart?" Kazuya Sawashiro interrupted Takuya Kurosaki. "It was me and Aki Amano who signed the agreement, not anyone else. Anyone else could also expose what happened two years ago and cause a lose-lose situation with him."

There's only one thing to note: this isn't a conventional weapon; it's a trump card that Kazuya Sawashiro has up his sleeve.

The trump card is used when the other party ignores advice and insists on going their own way.

Now that Watanabe Souta has become a bit more obedient, and he's set up a ring to beat Amano Aki to a pulp, then Sawashiro Kazuya certainly won't refuse the invitation, because he has the same idea and wants to go up and take down Watanabe Souta's hand.

Kazuya Sawashiro suddenly realized that perhaps they should give them some confidence.

Before this, Kazuya Sawashiro seemed to lack confidence day by day, always yielding and retreating, just waiting for someone else's fist to come at him.

Kazuya Sawashiro certainly wanted to fight back, but did he have any cards in his hand?

At that time, Amano Aki was so focused on going back to her hometown to become an ama (female diver) with her little schoolbag that she didn't even have the thought of fighting back against Watanabe Entertainment.

What's wrong with Kazuya Sawashiro? He's heavily in debt, penniless, and a nobody. How could he possibly fight against the giants of the entertainment industry with such limited resources? Even Aki Amano knew to come and check if he's mentally unstable.

Now we have some funds, some fans, and a little bit of fame.

feasible.

Waving away the gloom over Kurosaki Takuya's head, Sawashiro Kazuya calmed down and said, "Let's fight head-on and defeat each other in our strongest areas. Yoshioka Yuko is currently showing up at the Busan International Film Festival with her movie, so let's use the money we earn from music to make a better movie than hers before her movie is released."

"Us?" A surprised Takuya Kurosaki caught the key point in Kazuya Sawashiro's words. "Are you referring to this movie, the one produced by just the few of us? Not including the professional production team?"

"Of course, the few of us are enough," Kazuya Sawashiro said without any modesty, stating what he considered self-evident. "I'm the producer, director, screenwriter, and editor. Amano is in charge of acting and some editing, and Kurosaki-san is in charge of coordinating the extras and organizing the filming equipment. Don't you think this is a great team?"

"Ah...you're not wrong." He agreed with the team's point of view.

However, on the other hand, a good team can certainly accomplish a lot, but that doesn't mean that just because they have three core members, they can make a good movie, let alone a classic one.

Should we reconsider?

Takuya Kurosaki suggested tactfully, "Shouldn't we reconsider? Perhaps we could post a job advertisement online, recruiting people with experience in film shooting and production to form a team that's not just excellent, but also more professional?"

Although the world is a makeshift operation, can't we do better knowing that it's a makeshift operation?

"That makes sense. I'll leave this to you then. Good luck!"

Kazuya Sawashiro suddenly agreed, as if it had been premeditated, leaving Takuya Kurosaki, who had prepared a thousand words, stunned. He had been thinking of persuading Kazuya Sawashiro not to force himself, but the other party agreed before he could even speak.

"I'm really sending a notification? To Amano-san's personal account."
