Japanese Entertainment: A Comeback Beginning from Bankrupt President

Give yourself some confidence and leave unnecessary worries to others.

With some of the work handed over to TunecoreJapan, Kazuya Sawashiro's burden was greatly reduced. He only needed to take care of Aki Amano and organize the documentary that could only be made here.

Kazuya Sawashiro has been busy with this project, producing promotional videos, trailers, and documentaries.

It might be a bit difficult for the average person, but it's much easier for Kazuya Sawashiro, who used to make a living from this.

...

The first month of the lunar calendar has passed quickly, and although the hype surrounding high-speed travel is gradually fading, the term still remains in the minds of many, and related submissions can still be seen occasionally.

During this time, reports about the film began to appear online, which was exactly what Kazuya Sawashiro and the distribution company had done.

As for the film's distribution platforms, it has now been decided that it will be available on three paid subscription streaming platforms: YouTube, Netflix, and Amazon, so box office rankings will not be a consideration.

Here, we are considering both viewing time and the number of viewers.

Kazuya Sawashiro prepared multilingual subtitles to cover the regions covered by these platforms. It can be said that he has been working on this for some time now, since subtitle translation is no small matter.

Inaccurate translations or translations that are similar in meaning but express ambiguity can cause discomfort. A good translation, on the other hand, can make people smile and continue reading.

Once these steps are completed, proceed with the normal publicity and promotion process.

The first video released was a trailer for the movie, which was also released in multiple languages, without giving special treatment to audiences in the local area. The trailer also included the release date and platform.

If there's anything you're interested in, you can wait and see. It's not expensive anyway, so you won't lose out.

After that, there was a much longer behind-the-scenes video about the production process.

When Kazuya Sawashiro was talking to other members of the production team about things like the creation of the storyline, the formation of the production team, the actors' feelings, and the staff's thoughts, he always brought the camera with him, which is why he was able to capture these moments.

The third installment focuses on Aki Amano during the editing process.

Let everyone know that this film is her debut work as a novice editor, and then promote it around that topic.

With such a commotion, not only did ordinary people become aware of it, but Watanabe Entertainment was also constantly collecting and organizing data, preparing to find some suitable material to use as attacking material against Kazuya Sawashiro, and to give Kazuya Sawashiro a head-on blow.

You can let him get by, but you can't let him have it too easy. You should make him suffer without giving them any leverage.

However, after organizing it, the secretary in charge realized that this was not a way to deal with Kazuya Sawashiro.

Provided that the content is compliant and there are no copyright conflicts, he cannot bypass legal provisions to control the appearance of the film, just like the streaming route that Kazuya Sawashiro is currently taking, which is an area that is completely inaccessible.

The platform is independent, and the agents are hostile to Watanabe Entertainment, so they can't even get involved.

Kazuya Sawashiro is so clever that he doesn't even go to small theaters, hiding himself completely under the protection of streaming media. To catch him, you have to use some bait, like fishing, to lure him out.

However, if we do this, we need to consider a problem.

They both knew they would target each other, and in recent months, Kazuya Sawashiro had been too quiet, which made people wonder if he was plotting something bad. After all, Kazuya Sawashiro had been quite active before, collecting evidence everywhere.

After such a long hiatus, focusing on making his movies, is this still him?

What's frightening isn't a large company like theirs, because what large companies can do is predictable; what's frightening is the existence of Kazuya Sawashiro, who is unpredictable.

In order to know himself and his enemy, the secretary studied the information about Kazuya Sawashiro.

This person used to be an ordinary person, but recently suddenly had an epiphany, showing completely different talents and networks than before, and doing things that were completely different from before.

This is inexplicable from a common-sense perspective, yet it makes sense.

After experiencing major events, some people undergo a transformation. Looking back, one can see that Watanabe Entertainment's attitude towards Kazuya Sawashiro was perhaps a bit too harsh.

But he was just a secretary who had temporarily gained some management power, and he wanted to continue climbing the ranks.

Thinking of this, the secretary reviewed the information collected by the others and organized the interpersonal relationships of Kazuya Sawashiro, as well as his extremely simple office.

Finally, he realized something was wrong.

Kurosaki Takuya, a character who was once very active, seems to have disappeared after October of last year. No one knows where he went or whether he is still in Sawashiro Kazuya's agency.

The secretary thought the latter was unlikely because there was concrete evidence that Kurosaki Takuya was deeply trusted by Sawashiro Kazuya, and that he had once helped Sawashiro Kazuya handle a large sum of money.

Would anyone entrust their money to someone they don't trust?

The secretary believes that Kurosaki Takuya is still at Sawashiro Kazuya's office. Considering that he hasn't appeared recently, the secretary thinks that he must have been assigned to do something, since his job is a detective.

The simplest way to find out what a detective does is to look at what his employer needs.

Ze Chenghe is his employer, so what does Ze Chenghe need?

Clearly, what he needs is to deal with the scandals surrounding Watanabe Entertainment, and more specifically, the scandals surrounding Yoshioka Yuko, because Yoshioka Yuko is the mountain blocking Amano Aki's path. Only when she is completely defeated will there be a gap in the market.

With a target in mind, there was no need to search aimlessly like a headless fly. The secretary quickly learned Kurosaki Takuya's current location through various channels, which was several days later.

But he didn't dare delay and immediately took the report to Watanabe Sōta, who had been behaving himself for several months, and reported it to him.

"Executive Director, I think we're in trouble regarding the agencies of Kazuya Sawashiro and Aki Amano."

The familiar name made Watanabe Sōta raise an eyebrow.

He's been under close surveillance for the past few months, and he doesn't even dare to hint at anything when making phone calls. The omnipresent gaze has left him mentally exhausted, so he looks more like a patient right now, and his voice is somewhat low.

"What trouble? Aren't they preparing for a movie? How can they have time to do other things?" Watanabe Sōta asked coldly.

He didn't ask too many questions, but he knew the general situation. He couldn't avoid the news on his phone; he couldn't just not look at his phone.

Without delay, the secretary immediately presented the information: "Intelligence indicates that they arranged for that detective to investigate Yoshioka Yuko's dirty secrets. In the past four months, he has frequently traveled between Tokyo and Seoul, and his itinerary has similarities to Yoshioka Yuko's."

Upon hearing this news, Watanabe Sōta immediately perked up, because he knew what Yoshioka Yuko was doing in Seoul.

After a moment's thought, he posed a crucial question to his secretary: "Do you think they took any photos?"
