Crossover: Pen name: Dazai Osamu, Omega Kasumigaoka

"..."

"He's actually a top student from Meiji University!"

Kubo Sugito said with a sigh.

"Highly educated, handsome, and so talented, it really makes one curious about what kind of person he is."

Seeing that Kubo Sugito had completely fallen into the trap, Kitahara Makoto revealed a wicked smile.

"You've already seen it!"

"Ok?"

Kubo Sugito was shocked and looked at Kitahara Makoto with a surprised expression.

Kitahara Makoto calmly picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then said.

"Far away, yet so close."

"..."

Kubo Sugito knew quite a bit about Kitahara Makoto's extraordinary talent; after all, Kitahara Makoto was his superior, and he must have investigated him thoroughly.

I know that Kitahara Makoto became a national author before he was even twenty years old, with his books selling millions of copies, and he also founded NicoNico Animation, which is valued at over 500 billion yen.

He was a renowned writer and businessman.

But he never expected it.

Kitahara Makoto actually does variety shows?

And she's so outstanding!

Kubo Sugito witnessed Kitahara Makoto's extraordinary talent for the first time, and his admiration for him grew even stronger.

"correct."

At that moment, Kitahara Makoto seemed to remember something and suddenly said something.

"I'll keep the two female guests' spots in the nine-person group; I need them."

He plans to give those two positions to Mai Sakurajima and Yui Aragaki.

After all, this was a show he funded, so it's understandable that he would promote his own woman.

However, with the two women joining, the original "Monday Couple" concept definitely won't work anymore.

Therefore, in addition to the goddess persona, a plot involving the deep sisterly bond between the two women can also be designed.

I believe that after this variety show airs...

The two women are sure to become incredibly popular.

And the man standing behind them.

Thinking about it this way, Kitahara felt a little excited.

……

Beidouxing Animation.

After handing over the production of "Running Man" to Sugito Kubo.

Kitahara Makoto arrived here to check on the progress of several of the company's projects.

As soon as he entered, he was stopped by General Manager Tian Zeying.

"President, Fuji Television has sent someone to act as an intermediary, wanting to buy the television premiere rights for 'Non Non Biyori'."

"Ok?"

Kitahara Makoto raised an eyebrow.

He hadn't expected that Fuji Television would also be competing for the television premiere rights to "Non Non Biyori".

After the successful premiere of "Non Non Biyori" on NicoNico Anime.

The rights to broadcast a show on television became highly sought-after.

160 After all, many people have watched this anime.

But there are many more people who haven't seen it.

Especially for children who don't have access to computers.

However, this anime happens to be geared towards children.

Suitable for all ages, adults and children can both watch it.

These people are all potential viewers of this anime.

Therefore, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that this anime has huge potential on television.

If we can secure the first broadcast rights for this anime.

At the very least, you can get a decent result.

With high viewership ratings, TV stations can collect a large amount of advertising revenue from advertisers.

Such a lucrative opportunity was naturally one that none of the major television stations wanted to miss out on.

There was already a TV series called Beidouxing Animation.

However, Kitahara felt that their offer was insufficient.

So they kept arguing.

Since he owns the copyright, he's not in a hurry at all.

"How dare they even come?"

He did not agree to cooperate with Toho when it came to the investment for "Weathering With You".

How dare people from Fuji Television come here?

Is he really being stubborn, or does he have other plans?

Kitahara Shinichi felt a spark of interest.

Hideki Tazawa replied, "They sent an acquaintance over as a persuader."

"acquaintance?"

"Interesting, let's go..."

Kitahara Shinichi took the lead and headed towards the reception room...

.......................................

Brothers, I'm begging for auto-subscription, monthly tickets, flowers, and ratings. The author is extremely grateful.

Chapter 88: Seeking Peace, Picking Up the Losses

Reception room.

Kitahara Makoto met the acquaintance that Tazawa Hideki had mentioned.

Mikio Yano.

The producer of Toho.

The two first met because of the film rights to "No Longer Human".

Mai Sakurajima also officially entered the Japanese film industry with the film "No Longer Human".

Unfortunately, Kitahara Makoto was betrayed by Toho and Fuji Television later on.

Kitahara Makoto and Toho have broken up.

The film rights to "Norwegian Wood" were sold to Sony Columbia.

The film rights to Snow Country were sold to Toei.

Without the opportunity to collaborate, the two also lost the chance to meet again. Now that they meet once more, there is a sense of estrangement between them.

"Kitahara...!"

Upon seeing Kitahara Makoto arrive, Yano Mikio stood up, a hint of bewilderment flashing in his eyes as he looked at him.

The saying "A scholar should be viewed with new eyes after three days of separation" is perfectly suited to Kitahara Makoto and him.

When they first met, Kitahara Makoto was just a newly famous genius writer, while he was a senior producer at Toho.

In terms of status, the two are about equal.

The result was that it only took less than a year and a half.

He is also a producer at Toho.

But Kitahara Makoto has already transformed from a young writer into a national-level writer, a literary master, the president of a company valued at 500 billion yen, and a business tycoon.

Such a huge change made Yano Mikio feel like it was all too real.

That's why I couldn't help but feel a little dazed when I saw Kitahara Makoto.

“Kitahara…”

Yano Mikio hesitated for a moment, but finally became respectful and called out clearly.

"President!"

"..."

Kitahara Shin shuddered.

He suddenly remembered a quote written by Lu Xun.

'I knew it! A pathetic, thick barrier had already formed between us!'

Of course, this feeling was only fleeting.

Kitahara Makoto and Yano Mikio did not have the same deep friendship as Runtu and "I".

So he just smiled and said.

"Producer Yano, it's been a long time. Please have a seat."

"Thank you, President Kitahara."

After shouting it out the first time, Yano Mikio's second time became fluent.

"What brings you here today? Have you been working on any projects lately?"

Yano Mikio shook his head and said.

"No."

"A project I was producing recently has just been completed and is currently in the process of being released. There are no new projects at the moment."

"So what brings you here this time?"

"New projects lack investment?"

Kitahara Shin said, pretending to be joking.

"Or do you want to start your own business and want me to invest in you?"

"No problem, we're old friends, I trust your abilities, just name a price."

"..."

Watching Kitahara Makoto veer off into the absurd topic of his own idea of ​​going solo, he realized that Kitahara Makoto's conversation had somehow veered off course.

A hint of helplessness flashed across Yano Mikio's face as he quickly spoke.

"No no."

"The new project has no shortage of investment, and I have no plans to go it alone."

"Dongbao has been very good to me, and I've stayed at Dongbao for so many years and accumulated so much annuity. If I were to leave now, it would all be for nothing."

They were afraid that Kitahara Makoto would say something shocking again.

Yano Mikio quickly revealed his purpose.

"I'm here on behalf of the senior management of Fuji Television. I'd like to ask President Kitahara for a favor."

"What's the deal?"
