Tokyo: My obsession with China led me to become the king of Japanese entertainment.

"When does Sato-san plan to reprise her role in Den-O?"

"Den-O? Didn't he just act in that movie once... (in Japanese)"

"I was honored to return as Ryotaro Nogami in Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Eternal, which also fulfilled my promise that I would definitely return to play Den-O before I turned thirty."

"As for whether I plan to return, it depends on the company's arrangements. Thank you very much for your concern and support. (Speaking fluent and clear Chinese)"

Seeing that Takeru Satoh was almost stumped by the rather blunt question, Jun Sakurada could only try to smooth things over for him in Chinese, mixing and matching excuses.

As for that one, well, looking at all the extremely sharp topics in SC like "Why has the style changed so much?" and "Has it completely become ONE OK POP?",

He can only repeat the same old rhetoric about ideals, attempts, and changes, waiting for Jun Sakurada to fill in the gaps for him.

It's not that these two are bad at speaking; Taka may have given fewer interviews, but Sato Takeru has given countless interviews.

However, those official interviews are usually rehearsed and the interview content is prepared in advance, so appearing on camera is basically equivalent to reading a prepared script.

Even in offline live interviews, due to the Japanese people's inherent reserve and the limited number of participants, they generally don't touch on any particularly sharp topics.

However, the fans and viewers in Jun Sakurada's live stream were not going to give them any face. Even though Jun Sakurada had already filtered out the most sensitive topics involving his private life, the other questions were still quite sharp.

Without Jun Sakurada, a tough guy, keeping things under control, who knows how many live-streaming mishaps would have occurred.

"It seems that in the future, we should let the guests practice before doing this kind of live broadcast, otherwise it's easy to cause problems if we rush things," Jun Sakurada reflected.

However, high risk often comes with high returns.

So far, a captain who has just spent nearly 200 yuan has already made four figures in just over an hour, and there are countless gifts, red carpets, and SCs.

Behind the scenes, the number of fans on Jun Sakurada's channel and the sales of his games on Steam are also skyrocketing at an extremely impressive rate.

It's fair to say that the simultaneous appearance of Takeru Satoh and Taka in the live stream was a bit too hardcore for Ruizhan in 2019.

The live stream is about halfway through, and the current segment features Takeru Satoh playing the new version of Jun Sakurada's "Yokai Survivor." Monkey is watching the excitement from the sidelines, and the live stream is starting to feel a bit more normal.

When the show first aired, the words that Jun Sakurada saw most often were "Ahhhhhhh" and "husband" in various colors, fonts, and sizes.

Jun Sakurada would bet that at least three-quarters of these outbursts were caused by male audience members.

Then I looked at discussion forums like Baidu Tieba:

"Holy crap, Jun is amazing! He actually managed to get Takeru Satoh! And Taka too! These two are top stars in Japan, right?"

"I'm starting to wonder what kind of family background Run Shen has that allows him to invite these people and receive so many privileges from Johnny's!"

"Is it possible that Run Shen is just incredibly talented and has a strong foundation, and that he has achieved financial freedom by making games?"

"In short, I declare that Jun-shin is my strongest connection in Japan!"

"So... can we expect Daigo to return?"

This works really well... but what's with this weird name, Run Shen?

Ignoring some minor details, Jun Sakurada was extremely satisfied with the outcome of the live stream.

Theoretically speaking, Jun Sakurada should have first invited relatively easy-to-hire figures like Xu Feng and Hideo Ishiguro to generate buzz before considering inviting a big name like Takeru Satoh, and finally transitioned to that person for the best effect.

However, due to time constraints, he didn't have time to lay the groundwork for some things, and could only use bombshell revelations to directly arouse the audience's anticipation and imagination.

He needed to make everyone naturally associate the man's return with him without him mentioning it, and to have the greatest expectations for him.

And when this expectation has fully materialized, if some unscrupulous individuals still want to sabotage it... the consequences might be beyond their means.

Of course, given Ms. Fujishima's worldview, which is comparable to that of an adult American cockroach, she obviously wouldn't be aware of these things.

Well... you'll have to bear the consequences yourself.

As he was thinking this, Jun Sakurada's phone rang. When he opened it, he saw it was Hideaki Takizawa.

Seeing that the two were barely able to maintain normal communication with the viewers in the live broadcast room thanks to software and games, Jun Sakurada quietly retreated to the balcony and answered the phone.

"Takizawa-san, are the negotiations over?"

"We've reached some initial consensus," Takizawa Hideaki said in a relatively cheerful tone, indicating that there had been considerable progress.

"However, the representative from Xinchuanghua that you mentioned would like to speak with you privately."

Sakurada Jun was somewhat surprised: "Shin-Chuanghua? Let's talk then."

The people at Xinchuanghua aren't stupid; they found their way here so quickly.

Although Shin-Chuang Hua might not be considered a good company by tokusatsu fans, it is still a Chinese company and understands the local market.

Even with his short-sightedness, Jun Sakurada didn't believe they would fail in business related to an IP like Ultraman Tiga.

Since that's the case, there's no harm in meeting them.

A moment later, a cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone, spoken in Chinese: "Hello, is this Brother Sakurada? I'm the representative of Shinseihua, my surname is Wang."

Sakurada Jun was amused by the way he addressed him, so he simply went along with it: "So, what would you like to talk about, Brother Wang?"

"We're the only two people here who speak Chinese, so we're not worried about anyone else overhearing us. Sakurada is a straightforward guy, so I'll just say it directly." Representative Wang laughed, his tone gradually becoming more serious.

Clearly, this person had guessed that the mastermind behind this dream collaboration involving Ultraman Tiga might not be the dashing Vice President Takizawa, but rather the China expert on the other end of the phone.

"I heard from President Takizawa that there seem to be some differing opinions within your firm regarding this collaboration..."

"After all, it's a very important project, so it's normal for there to be some disagreements within the firm!" Jun Sakurada didn't take the bait, his tone ambiguous, as if he hadn't said anything, but also as if he had said everything.

Representative Wang wasn't annoyed. He had already obtained the information he wanted and had a rough idea of ​​what the guy on the other side was up to.

By raising expectations and engaging in extensive publicity, will the Chinese audience, driven by anger, turn against Johnny & Associates after future collaborations are hindered, thus creating a situation that forces Johnny & Associates to resign?

It has to be said, it's a bit crazy, but he likes it very much.

Japan, a highly informational cocoon, a Galapagos-like market that likes to hide away and indulge in frivolous revelry, needs a madman like this to hit them on the head a few times with a hammer so that some of them can be brought to their senses.

Since the new generation of Johnny's has the guts to do this kind of thing, it seems that New Creation Entertainment could also stir things up.

After all, lately, a certain unnamed group called "parents" seems to be getting a little restless...
