Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 122 I Don't Want You To Think
Akina Nakamori's class lasted until noon, and Hideki Hanyu, who was staying in the training room's rest room, waited until Akina Nakamori's class was over before asking.

"Mingcai sauce, what do you and Iijima-san eat for lunch on weekdays?"

"If you're busy, it's usually bento." Akina Nakamori answered honestly.

Akina Nakamori seldom cares about food, as long as she can fill her stomach.

After all, I have been suffering since I was a child, and my requirements for this aspect are not high.

"Is that so? But it's rare for me to serve as Mingcai Jiang's manager once. I can't eat bento. I'll treat Mingcai Jiang to a big meal."

"Big meal? But there is still a meeting in the afternoon, will it be too late?"

"It's okay, just let them blame me for being late, let's go."

After Hideki Hanyu finished speaking, without waiting for Akina Nakamori's consent, he walked out with Akina Nakamori.

After getting in the car, he went straight to the port area, and found a restaurant that he had visited before and felt good. It mainly specializes in high-end Matsusaka Wagyu.

The dishes in this store do not need to be ordered a la carte, they are served in the form of a set meal, and the cost for one person is yen.

"Mr. Hanyu, it's not good to have such an expensive lunch."

"Don't worry about Mingcai Jiang, I'll treat you to this meal."

"But……"

"Don't worry, I'm the manager today, Ming Caijiang just listen to my arrangement."

"Then I'll start, Hanyu-sensei."

……

In this way, Nakamori Akina, who was still a little reluctant to let go at the beginning, soon began to eat it with a big heart under the encouragement of Hanyu Hideki.

If Hirohashi Asako sees this scene, he must have a good chat with Hanyu Hideki.

Akina Nakamori has a good posture created by ten years of ballet, and Warner Pioneer and Yunshang Entertainment are determined to show this advantage.

But because of Akina Nakamori's weight, her body advantage has not been perfectly presented.

Therefore, in the view of Warner Pioneer and Yunying Pictures, weight control is currently one of the most important tasks for Akina Nakamori.

On weekdays, Santomo Iijima always chooses low-calorie lunches when buying lunches, but Hideki Hanyu is good enough to directly attract people to eat wagyu beef.

Those slices of fat-rich snowflake beef were put into the mouth by Akina Nakamori. If Mitomo Iijima saw this scene, he would definitely find his boss desperately.

After eating for a while, Nakamori Akina suddenly woke up and stopped the chopsticks, and said a little guiltyly, "I can't eat any more. Iijima-san asked me to control my weight recently."

"Weight control?"

Hideki Hanyu looked at Akina Nakamori, perhaps because she had recently controlled her weight well. Compared with the first time they met, the contours of the other person's face and body were undoubtedly much clearer.

"Yes, everyone said that I would look better if I was thinner." Akina Nakamori replied.

"I think it's good now. Girls are too thin and they don't look good. Ming Caijiang can eat it at ease."

"is it?"

"That's right, Mingcai Jiang is very cute now."

Encouraged by Hideki Hanyu, Akina Nakamori picked up the chopsticks that had been put down with great difficulty.

In this way, the two had a very happy meal, but when they checked the time after the meal, they realized that they might be late for the meeting.

"Sensei Hanyu, please drive faster, I'm going to be late soon." Nakamori Akina in the car worried with a small face.

"The most important thing about driving is safety. It's just a little bit late. You don't need to worry about me here."

Hanyu Hideki didn't want to ignore safety in order to hurry.

So by the time Hanyu Hideki drove to Warner Pioneer's headquarters in Kita-Aoyama, Minato, the planned meeting had already begun.

With Akina Nakamori on his face anxiously, Hideki Hanyu walked into the meeting room without any haste.

After entering the door and looking at the representatives of various related parties who had already sat down, Akina Nakamori wanted to bow and apologize, but was stopped by Hideki Hanyu.

He is not the kind of person who likes to let others take the blame for him, so it is naturally impossible for Akina Nakamori to apologize.

"I'm very sorry, I suddenly wanted to eat wagyu beef at noon, and I came a little late."

Hanyu Hideki bowed slightly, and took the initiative to take the responsibility on himself, but the reason sounded insincere.

"Excuse me, where is my seat?" Hideki Hanyu glanced around the meeting room a few times, and had no intention of sitting down.

In fact, the meeting room still has a place, but it is basically either the back row or the corner.

He rarely came to a meeting with his partners, not to sit at the end and listen to others give orders.

At this time, if it is Iijima Sanzhi, it doesn't matter if he takes Nakamori Akina to accompany the last seat.

But it was impossible for him to come. No one on the scene was qualified to make him sit down.

The person who presided over the meeting was Nobuo Tomioka, and of course it was impossible to surpass him in terms of level.

As for the representatives of the main parties involved in this meeting, they are even more acquaintances, from the staff of the sales department of Xiaoxiaokan Co., Ltd.

At the reception at the Shogakukan at the end of the year, Hanyu Hideki met these people, and they were all of a level that he could handle with just a nod.

Behind Hideki Hanyu, Akina Nakamori saw Hanyu Hideki standing still, not to mention how nervous she was.

She and Santomo Iijima had never faced these people before, but they had never been so strong. Occasionally, Nobuo Tomioka's angry rebuttals were often forced to do nothing.

On the seat, Nobuo Tomioka hurriedly winked at several subordinates around him, asking them to give up their seats.

He can't treat Hideki Hanyu the way he treats Santomo Iijima.

"sit down."

Hideki Hanyu took the nervous Akina Nakamori and sat unceremoniously in the seat vacated.

Seeing Hideki Hanyu sit down, Nobuo Tomioka began to chair the meeting.

"Now that everyone is here, let's start the meeting. The representative of the publishing house, Yamada-san, said before..."

After the meeting started, Hideki Hanyu just listened quietly and did not express any opinion for the time being.

The main content of this meeting was that Xiao Xiao Guan, a publishing house, Warner Pioneer, a record company, and Yun Shang Yi Neng, a firm, had different opinions on debut promotion.

"Tomioka-san, your plan to cancel the original swimsuit photo shoot is not approved by our publishing house."

"The reason for canceling the original plan is mainly to consider the opinions of Yunshang Arts Firm."

"But how many potential customers will be lost in this way, Tomioka-san should be very clear."

"The firm feels that the swimsuit photo doesn't match the singer's personal style."

"But swimsuit photos are already an indispensable means of publicity for new female idols. I think..."

Hearing the seemingly heated debate between these two families, Hideki Hanyu finally understood that the two families were singing oboe for him.

The purpose is very simple. From the beginning to the present, the record company and the publishing house did not want to give up the swimsuit photo plan in order to attract attention.

This meeting is not so much the three parties sitting down to discuss, but it is more like the publishing house and the record company joining forces to put pressure on Yunshangyi.

It's just that neither party expected that the meeting originally thought to be Santomo Iijima was attended by Hideki Hanyu because of an accident.

If it was Iijima Sanzhi at this time, he probably couldn't help but start to refute the opinions of the two parties.

But Hideki Hanyu listened to the two families talking to each other, but there was no meaning to connect the words. He wanted to see how long the two families could perform.

Nobuo Tomioka talked for a while, seeing that Hideki Hanyu didn't express his opinion at all, he could only bite the bullet and ask Hideki Hanyu.

"Mr. Hanyu, I think the publisher's consideration is not unreasonable. The swimsuit-style promotional photo line is very popular now, and there is no need for us to give up."

Finding that the two parties finally couldn't continue acting, Hanyu Hideki smiled slightly.

"What you said is very reasonable, the research on the market is also in place, and the suggestions are also very sincere."

He first pretended to agree with what the two parties said, but after a few words, his attitude turned 180 degrees, "But I don't agree."

"Mr. Hanyu, consider our suggestion, and the sales of the photobook will definitely be very good."

The representative of the publishing house, Yamada-san, hurriedly said.

"What we want to launch is a girl idol singer, not a photo star."

"But if the sales of the photobook are good, it will also drive the sales of the album. If the current plan is implemented, it will undoubtedly lose a large number of potential buyers."

"We need fans who can really appreciate Akira-chan's music, not some guy with a cock and a brain."

Hideki Hanyu really doesn't understand why the neon entertainment industry promotes girl idols, why they always like to go down the third road.

Obviously, those female idols who can become popular have been proved by facts that none of them succeeded by relying on this.

It is already the second largest music market in the world, and you can earn a lot of money if you concentrate on making good music.

But for that little bit of gimmick, the entertainment industry still keeps repeating it endlessly.

"Ms. Hanyu, artists are commodities. What we need to consider is how to sell them best, not who is buying them."

As soon as Yamada said this, everyone present didn't think there was anything wrong.

Artists are commodities created by the entertainment industry, and this is an accepted fact.

However, Nakamori Akina, who was the party involved, was described as a commodity face to face, but her heart was full of sadness and unwillingness.

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he knew that it was completely useless to talk about the singer's positioning and personality design with this mercenary guy, and immediately lost the mood to continue talking.

"Not everyone thinks artists are commodities, at least I don't think Ming Caijiang is. And as the boss, I have the right not to sell commodities to certain people."

After finishing speaking, he stared at the opposite side, "There is no need to discuss this issue, it is settled like this."

"I think..." The unwilling Yamada wanted to say something else.

But Hideki Hanyu interrupted it unceremoniously, "I don't want you to think, I want me to think!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Nobuo Tomioka, who was the host of the meeting, hurriedly began to smooth things over.

"Mr. Hanyu, Yamada-san is also for Akina-chan to quickly accumulate popularity."

Everyone in the meeting room could tell that after Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, Yamada's face was very ugly.

Hideki Hanyu naturally noticed it too, but he didn't care at all. Since his debut, there have been many people who don't like him, and he doesn't care about one more.

And in the face of such a dignified atmosphere, if there is anyone else who doesn't care besides Hanyu Hideki, it can only be Akina Nakamori.

The little girl couldn't hear anything at this time, and her mind was full of Hideki Hanyu's words, 'I don't think Akina sauce is a commodity'.

The unwillingness and sadness that filled my heart just now, all in the words of "Overlord" Hideki Hanyu, turned into touch and joy, mixed with a little happiness of being protected by others.

The most important purpose of the meeting was directly vetoed by Hideki Hanyu unilaterally, and there were some minor issues left. After talking for a long time, the meeting ended hastily.

He left Warner Pioneer Records headquarters with Akina Nakamori, looked at his watch, and found that it was just after four o'clock.

Originally because of the meeting in the afternoon, Akina Nakamori did not arrange any classes this afternoon.

Now that the meeting ended early, Hideki Hanyu immediately said to Akina Nakamori, "Congratulations to Akina-chan, you can leave work early today."

"Thank you, Hanyu-sensei."

Akina Nakamori didn't know whether she was thanking Hideki Hanyu for letting her leave work early, or the maintenance at the meeting just now.

"You're welcome. I'll send Mingcai Jiang home first. Since there is no need for training, Mingcai Jiang can take a good rest. I saw that Mingcai Jiang was in a daze during the meeting. The training must be very hard."

After finishing speaking, Hanyu Hideki drove Nakamori Akina to Hirohashi Asako's house.

Along the way, Nakamori Akina was full of thoughts. Looking at Hideki Hanyu who was driving, she wanted to thank the maintenance at the meeting just now, but she didn't know what to say.

It wasn't until the car stopped in front of Asako Hirohashi's house that Nakamori Akina got out of the car and couldn't help saying, "Thank you very much, Mr. Hanyu, for speaking for me at the meeting."

"You're welcome, I'm Mingcaijiang's boss, and it's my duty to take care of Mingcaijiang."

Hearing this answer, Nakamori Akina couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"Then goodbye, Hanyu-sensei."

"Goodbye Mingcai sauce."

The two said goodbye to each other, with a little disappointment, Nakamori Akina walked towards Hirohashi Asako's home.

This is, Hideki Hanyu suddenly shouted, "Akira sauce."

"Is Hanyu-sensei okay?"

With a little expectation, Nakamori Akina hurriedly turned around and asked.

"Ming Caijiang doesn't need to call me teacher in the future, it's too polite."

"Yes, I know Hanyu... Hanyu-kun." Nakamori Akina tentatively used an intimate title.

"Mingcai sauce, hurry up and go back to rest."

Hanyu Hideki didn't care what Akina Nakamori called him, and drove away after waving goodbye.

At the door of Asako Hirohashi's house, after Hideki Hanyu's red BMW moved away, Akina Nakamori waved her small fist excitedly.

Even though it's just a small change in address, it's enough to make the girl happy.

……

"I heard that Hanyu-san and Yamada-san had a dispute?"

In Wanshiwu, Hanyu Hideki received a call from Kitahara Eri not long after he came back.

"Dispute? It's just a difference of opinion."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, in fact, it's just a difference of opinion on the cooperation business. I don't have any opinion on Yamada-san."

In fact, Hideki Hanyu understands that Yamada’s attitude is correct in everyone’s opinion. Of course, idols are the fastest to launch and the fastest to make money.

It is not surprising to have such an idea, because the entire idol market in the 70s was like this. Except for the case of Momoe Yamaguchi, idols rarely became popular for three years, and they would quickly pass away within five years.

This also allows many agencies to make quick money in the positioning of idols, and squeeze out the greatest benefits in a short period of time. There is no need to consider the style and personality at all, and which one can be popular.

But the problem is that Akina Nakamori is not like this. In the entire 80s alone, the super long peak period is unique, even the old opponent Seiko Matsuda can't match it.

Therefore, although he seldom asked about Akina Nakamori's affairs, the bottom line for Santomo Iijima was to put an end to all publicity and money-making methods eager for quick success.

"Did Kitahara-san call just to talk about this trivial matter?" Hanyu Hideki asked.

"It's a small matter for Hanyu-san, but not for us. As soon as Yamada-san came back, he was called by Director Imai."

"Minister Imai is really strict."

"I guess I'll be called after the phone call to ask Hanyu-san what he thinks."

"Then please Kitahara-san tell the truth."

"That's all about Yamada-san. I'm calling this time to tell Hanyu-san that the booklet of Miraculous Snack Shop sold very well after it was released yesterday. I have a few interview invitations from my side. Hanyu-san think about it. Which one to choose."

"Kitahara-san, please tell me."

"This time, "Weekly Shinchao" invited Hanyu-san for an interview, and "an-an" also invited. "An-an" released the list of the most popular men in , and Hanyu-san was the first Number one, and..."

Eri Kitahara began to introduce Hideki Hanyu in detail.

……

Monday, January , .

After the relocation reception at the headquarters of Yun On Pictures located in Shimbashi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Yun On Pictures held its first partner chat meeting.

"Terabayashi-san called in the morning to suggest that there is no need for President Hanyu to attend ordinary meetings in person."

Hirohashi Asako looked at Hideki Hanyu with a funny face.

"I've also heard about this incident. It seems that Hanyu-san gave Warner Pioneer a headache in the previous meeting." Shota Yoshioka said.

"The Warner Pioneer family is not the only one that suffers from headaches. I heard from someone in the production committee's sales department that the representative of the sales department of the production committee had an argument with Hanyu-san at the meeting, and was called into the office by the head of the sales department when they returned. "

Ito Shinsuke also followed suit.

"Did everyone know so soon?" Hanyu Hideki was speechless.

"Hanyu-san usually makes few appearances, and it's rare to appear so strong, so it will naturally attract everyone's attention."

After learning about what happened at the meeting, Asako Hirohashi said happily, "Fortunately, it was Hanyu-san who went there that day. If it was Iijima-san, I'm afraid I couldn't bear the pressure to agree."

"Even Iijima-san won't compromise. We didn't ask much, and it's impossible to withdraw."

Hanyu Hideki has a different opinion.

"Since the meeting is over, there is no need to talk about it. We should talk about something new when we move to a new building."

Hideki Hanyu said and looked at Asako Hirohashi, "Where is Asako-san, how is the relationship between the amateur actors who love to go home?"

"It's all settled. I personally arranged for someone to come to confirm the performance contract." Hirohashi Asako replied.

After asking about the movie actors, Hideki Hanyu looked at Nobusuke Ito again, "Ito-san, is there any progress in Toho's affairs?"

Knowing that Hideki Hanyu was talking about poaching people from Toho, Nobusuke Ito shook his head and said, "It's not so easy at first."

"Then Ito-san, hurry up. The brands we have worked with before are already inquiring about the shooting of new advertisements. Hakuhodo and Dentsu have also provided many new clients, and even asked us if we are interested in helping overseas clients shoot advertisements. The volume of advertising business this year will definitely increase, and there is still a huge shortage of personnel.”

It was Shota Yoshioka who was speaking, and he who was in charge of outreach work was both happy and worried.

The joy is that the business volume is constantly increasing, and it is even possible to open up overseas customers.

What is worrying is that the development speed of the cloud picture cannot keep up with the growth rate of the business volume, and the project is not dared to take it in front of it.

"Yoshioka-san can't be too greedy. Some businesses have to be given up. There are so many projects that our family can't finish. We do what we can. We can develop to the present in Yunshang Pictures, relying on quality rather than quantity." Hanyu Hideki persuaded.

"Don't worry, Hanyu-san, I know these truths for sure." Yoshioka Shota nodded.

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he looked at Hirohashi Asako again, "Asako-san, the poaching can only be done for a while, and it will be the graduation season soon, and our own personnel training must keep up."

"Don't worry, Hanyu-san. I have already made a recruitment plan here. If the club wants to develop, we can't do it even if we die from overwork."

Hirohashi Asako looked like I had thought about it a long time ago.

Seeing that several partners are so reliable, Hanyu Hideki expressed his relief.

If the partners are a bunch of scumbags who only know how to hug his thighs, let alone counting money to be the major shareholder, but dying from work is not bad.
