Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 136 Exaggerated debut publicity

The next day, early in the morning.

Opposite the Takarazuka Grand Theater in Takarazuka City.

On the bank of the Mukogawa River, at the foot of Rokko Mountain, there is the famous Takarazuka Hot Spring in Hyogo Prefecture.

There is a hot spring hotel here. 14 years later, this old hot spring hotel was rebuilt and became the famous "Wakasui Hotel" in Hyogo Prefecture.

But now it is still an ordinary hot spring hotel, in a private room with a private cypress bath, Hanyu Hideki woke up.

He looked at the sleeping girl next to him, and got up lightly.

First call for breakfast, and then come to the yard where the private cypress soup pool is located, and have breakfast while soaking in the hot spring.

The exhaustion from working hard last night in the middle of the night, under the comfort of the warm spring water, combined with the energy brought by the food, quickly recovered.

After soaking for a while, I saw a girl in a thin bathrobe coming out of the room.

Even though Akina Nakamori could only stand in the audience to watch the ceremony, when Hideki Hanyu came to the stage to receive the award as the grand prize winner and received congratulations from Empress Kojun, Akina Nakamori still got a close-up shot as a female companion.

Tokyo in two days.

Hideki Hanyu blatantly launched a publicity campaign.

But when the audience saw Akina Nakamori in the ad, they probably thought it was some unknown ad model, and most of the publicity effect was wasted.

"When the meeting is held at that time, Hanyu-san will be notified by the business department." Kumagai Gennori said.

Before leaving in a hurry, he called his assistant Uemura Reiko to send the little female cat to the pet shop.

Kumagai Gennori's words made Hanyu Hideki stunned.

Next, Hanyu Hideki chatted with Kumagai Gennori about manga, and then bid farewell to everyone and left the Shogakukan.
But leaving with him was Maeda Zongyi with an eager expression.

As soon as Hanyu Hideki said this, those competitors wanted to spit in Hanyu Hideki's face.

On the girl's face, there was fatigue visible to the naked eye. It could be imagined that she didn't have a good rest last night.

Kumagai Gennori's expression was excited, "Saint Seiya has been serialized for three weeks, and Hanyu-san can't even imagine how popular this manga is! All the boys in neon are learning Pegasus Meteor Fist!"

But think about it, if "Pokémon" becomes popular in the future, these ten thousand original novels will be a super collector's edition.

He was not surprised, and there was another very important reason, that is, the "Weekly Shonen Sunday" published by Xiao Xueguan was too disappointing.

"Isn't Hitomi-chan resting these two days, then I'll stay for two days before leaving."

"I know, I will participate when the time comes."

At least from the perspective of the Nakajima reporter who still stays with Hideki Hanyu, it is indeed the same.

"Kumaya-san, Weekly Shonen Sunday's sales should be good."

Eri Kitahara saw that Hideki Hanyu didn't want to say anything, and didn't ask any more questions, and explained the purpose of calling Hideki Hanyu here.

Needless to say, the current situation is 100% because I came to him to ask for the manuscript of the third part of Miraculous Snack Shop.

In fact, before the awards began, he already knew that he had won the most important award, and he also knew that the member of the neon royal family who attended the awards was Empress Kojun, the wife of Emperor Showa.

"Hayu-san said that there are manuscripts, and he has written several articles? Are you taking them with you now?"

Seeing Kumagai Gennori looking so happy, Hanyu Hideki probably guessed the reason.

"No?" Hideki Hanyu, who joined in the fun, shook his head.

"Is Hanyu-san dissatisfied with my work?"

Maeda Muneyoshi had just finished speaking, and before Hanyu Hideki could answer, Kitahara Eri couldn't sit still and hurriedly stopped him.

"It seems that Hanyu-san really doesn't know that the sales volume of the latest issue of Weekly Shonen Sunday returned to 200 million, all thanks to Hanyu-san's Saint Seiya."

"If Hanyu-san is willing, this year's Birthday Weekly Shonen Sunday will help you pass it."

Even if TV animation doesn't make money, they still have to do it, otherwise how can they get the follow-up theatrical version and the like.

……

Therefore, he recently ran towards the Yunying Painting Building when he had nothing to do. This sudden concern for work also made several partners wonder.

Hideki Hanyu thought to himself, is Bandai doing this again?I haven't finished drawing a volume of manga, so I want to do TV animation.

As for the sales of "Pokémon", Hanyu Hideki completely ignored it.

Because Maeda Soyoshi held him and would not let go, if it wasn't for Eri Kitahara in the office, he probably would have hugged his leg directly.

……

Therefore, after seeing the rules in the invitation letter that he could bring a female companion, Hanyu Hideki immediately sent Akina Nakamori to Tanaka Garment Manufacturing without even thinking about it.

But at this moment, Hideki Hanyu couldn't care about who Eri Kitahara was waiting for.

"There are many things, but on my side, I just need you to sign another contract of love to go home."

"Maeda-san, if you want the manuscript of Miraculous Dessert Shop , please get up first."

Hearing this, the girl rubbed against Hideki Hanyu like a kitten.

"No need to wait, Hanyu-san and I will go get it now."

Eri Kitahara pointed to the outside and said, "Hanyu-san will know right away."

This award is not only one of the most valuable awards in the field of neon children's literature, but also because the royal family of neon will go to the awards ceremony to congratulate and witness in person, so it attracts a lot of attention in neon.

Not only the organizer Sankei Shimbun will open a special report, NHK TV, which is known as the neon CCTV, and Fuji TV, as partners, will all broadcast the awards.

If eating together is considered a gossip, then the neon arts world will not lack headlines every day.

"How did Hanyu-san know? Did Hanyu-san read the report?" Kumagai Gennori asked.

"Of course."

The most important thing is, leave it to those guys, if the animation plot messes with the original again, wouldn't he have done so many things in vain.

The TV animation version of "Saint Seiya" will only, and only be in charge of Yunyou Pictures.

It only sold copies in almost a year, not to mention making money, even half of the cost has not been made back.

But Kuroki Hitomi is only a supporting role after all, if he wants to become the chief maidservant, he must not break the news of his love affair.

On May , with the help of previous tour and media promotion, Akina Nakamori released her first single, "スローモーション" (Slow Motion), making her official debut.

Hanyu Hideki gently hugged Lou girl's shoulder, "It's okay, Hitomi still needs to rest now."

And it is also a creative story advertisement produced by Yunying Pictures!
If this kind of advertisement is given to a famous artist, he can earn tens of millions, not to mention the advertising fee, and the increase in popularity alone does not know how much.

As soon as Eri Kitahara finished speaking, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open, and then Gennori Kumagai rushed in with a few people, spraying ribbons on Hideki Hanyu's head bang bang bang.

However, due to the good performance of the previous idols who debuted, they have already crowded the fan market, and Akina Nakamori debuted a bit late, so the industry is not optimistic about the prospects of this newcomer.

"What's the matter? Children's literature and art is extremely urgent." Maeda Zongyi was anxious.

Eri Kitahara said and handed the contract to Hideki Hanyu.

"Hanyu-san, why do you feel so tired? Didn't you call to say you went to a hot spring? Are there any hot springs that get more and more tired?"

Bandai still has a hand in operating peripherals, and cooperation in this area is not impossible.

Hideki Hanyu turned his head to look at Eri Kitahara, and mouthed "how much has the sales volume dropped".

How could Hanyu Hideki miss the history witnessing the debut of Yuanzu singer.

Hanyu Hideki wondered how he would have time to read any reports these days.

However, considering the state of the two of them without any clothes at this time, Hideki Hanyu moved his body instinctively, for fear that one of them would not be able to control the beastly behavior, after all, the girl's current state is not suitable.

Therefore, Hitomi Kuroki, who is a female servant, as long as she becomes the chief female servant of the monthly group, even if her relationship is discovered, as long as she is not too blatant, Takarazuka will only turn a blind eye.

Using four master garment makers to help Akina Nakamori rush out a dress before the awards ceremony.

"Ah."

Those competitors originally thought that it would be too much for Yunying Pictures to advertise big names to newcomers.

Although he made another girlfriend, Hitomi Kuroki is an actor from Takarazuka after all.

"Has the story finally unfolded..."

Hearing that Hideki Hanyu had a manuscript for the Miracle Confectionery, Soyoshi Maeda stood up immediately and asked urgently.

Hideki Hanyu said with a strange expression, "If I remember correctly, today is not my birthday."

Eri Kitahara was also in such a hurry when she took the picture book before.

Hideki Hanyu was the most dazzling new writer in the field of neon children's literature in 1981, how could the invitation letter for the award ceremony be missing him.

The movie "Love, Go Home" is scheduled to be released on May 16th, and the final sprint promotion has begun.

"This time an additional 20 copies are printed, this is the contract."

Seeing Hanyu Hideki's obviously tired face, Kitahara Eri was quite puzzled.

After the girl finished speaking, she slowly lowered her head...

"Hayu-san, I finally waited for you!"

"Hanyu-san, Mr. Hanyu, please save the children's literature and art." Maeda Soyoshi's voice was like 'a cuckoo crying blood', which was heart-piercing.

Looking at the sweet and lovely Nakamori Akina who played the role of a candy-loving female student in the commercial, many firms in the industry felt like vomiting blood.

Competitors of Yunying Pictures are both envious and annoyed at the attitude of completely disregarding advertising resources in order to make their artists familiar.

It seems that if you have new ideas in the future, you should think carefully about "Weekly Shonen Sunday" who can't afford it.

It is clear to everyone in the industry that the two "newcomers to idol production", Yunying Pictures and Warner Pioneer, value this Akina Nakamori very much.

Especially at the end of the award presentation, when some reporters asked Hanyu Hideki who the girl who came with him was.

But now Hideki Hanyu, apart from talking on the phone with his girlfriend every day, nothing else has changed much.

She said shyly like a mosquito, "If Hanyu-kun wants to, I don't mind."

The girl took a bite, and asked in a reluctant voice, "When will Hanyu-kun go back to Tokyo?"

"Oh, by the way, one more thing is that the Pokemon published by Hanyu-san at his own expense has sold a total of copies, and it will be sent to Yunshang Culture's account together with the royalties from this love home."

Good guy, it's only been so little time since Eri Kitahara told him that the sales volume has declined, and the sales volume of 30 can't be kept in the blink of an eye.

"Good morning, Hitomi-chan, come and have breakfast, and let's soak in the hot spring together. I heard from the hotel owner that the hot spring here can not only relieve fatigue, but also help... the recovery of injuries."

Back then, he often used 'Tianma Meteor Fist' and 'Lushan Shenglongba' with his friends, how could he not know the charm of this passionate comic.

But now that he is here, this kind of thing is absolutely impossible to happen, whether it is Dongying or Dongbao, let him get out of the way.

But no matter how the outside world looks at it, the publicity work about Akina Nakamori is still going on step by step.

The girl felt Hideki Hanyu's movements, and was a little strange at first, and then saw Hideki Hanyu's embarrassed look, and immediately understood why.

In Takarazuka, male characters are always the most popular, and male characters have the most fans, and they also count on male characters to sell tickets, because Takarazuka's main customer group is women.

It's not for making money or anything, he thinks that if something goes wrong later, it can be given as a gift.

Although Hideki Hanyu didn't want to waste his energy taking his artists around, but if he could take them along the way, there would be no problem.

Debut promotions, photo posters, personality information, everything, they all introduce who Akina Nakamori is.

And it's just the Galactic War chapter. When the story progresses to the zodiac, or after the TV animation appears, we will see what is the popularity.

Seeing Maeda Soyoshi, Kitahara Eri was surprised and said, "Huh? Why is Maeda-san here?"

But now, ads are fun and successful.

Seeing this, Eri Kitahara made a figure of twenty with her hands.

"Really?" Yoshioka Shota looked suspicious.

While Hideki Hanyu was thinking about "Pokémon", the door of the office area was suddenly pushed open, and Zongyi Maeda looked at Hideki Hanyu excitedly.

The advertising resources of an established club like Morinaga Foods were given to an unknown idol in this way.

"Stop talking nonsense, Hanyu-kun."

"So that's the case, so how much will be printed this time?"

Hideki Hanyu spread his hands, "There are two articles, but I didn't bring them with me, how about sending them to Maeda-san some other day."

He also asked Eri Kitahara to leave a thousand copies for her, and put them all together with the fan letters.

These editors, I don’t know how many writers have been tortured before, and they have developed such a character that they can’t wait for a manuscript for a minute.

Of course Hanyu Hideki couldn't tell Kitahara Eri that it was caused by his reluctant girlfriend.

After returning to Wanshiwu and giving Maeda Soyoshi two stories about the miraculous snack shop, Hanyu Hideki went to the pet shop again and picked up Nako Lulu, who was in foster care.

May rd is the awarding day of the Sankei Children's Publishing Culture Award.

"Our first artist under our banner is about to debut, of course I have to care about it." Hideki Hanyu said of course.

In the end, I found that I was still too naive, and people directly brought the artist and Queen Xiangchun together on TV.

If this kind of sales volume was placed on the side of "Weekly Last Year Jump", it would be at the level of the late 70s.

If "Saint Seiya" is handed over to JUMP, in this era when the hot-blooded anime is not yet mature, it is estimated that the sales volume of 400 million will not be a problem. After all, the highest sales volume of JUMP's eight 90s is more than 630 million.

It is also loved by the audience just like the advertisements of Yunshang Pictures in the past.

And it's not even the worst.

"Okay, Kitahara-san still said there is something, maybe he wants new works again, Kitahara-san took away nine picture books before."

When the award ceremony of the Sankei Children's Publishing Culture Award started, other competing firms were surprised to find that Hideki Hanyu appeared at the award ceremony with Nakamori Akina in a black evening dress.

The girl put her head close to Hanyu Hideki's ear when she heard the words, and whispered, "I used to hear the girls in the group say..."

Because of tracking for so many days, the dinner between Hideki Hanyu and Yuko Tanaka turned out to be the most "explosive" material he took.

In the 80s, the sales volume of 200 million can only be regarded as a passing grade for "Weekly Last Year Jump".

Xiong Gu Xuandian patted his chest, expressing unceremoniously.

One person and one cat reunited, and Hideki Hanyu's life returned to normal again.

Shota Yoshioka, who is temporarily in charge of Yunshang Entertainment and Akina Nakamori's debut, is very strange.

Obviously, Eri Kitahara was not waiting for Soyoshi Maeda.

I don’t know whether it’s Toei or Toho that is cooperating this time.

"I see."

Hideki Hanyu knew that the girl was not feeling well, so he picked up the breakfast sandwich from the hotel and brought it to the girl's mouth.

"She is a female idol who just debuted in my office, her name is Nakamori Akina. Since she was a child, she admired Queen Kojun, so I took this rare opportunity to specially bring her here to pay homage to Queen Kojun's demeanor."

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, his eyes widened in surprise, "You girls really dare to talk about anything."

"Saint Seiya" is in the hands, and the sales volume has only exceeded 200 million, which is considered to be the peak level in history.

On the day of its debut, Yunshang Pictures, the parent company of Yunshang Entertainment, made a big move right from the start.

Hanyu Hideki was not too surprised, after all, everything was within his expectations.

In the fruitless stalking of the Nakajima reporter, the time came to the end of April.

Akina Nakamori, the last classmate of Hana Group 82, arrived late, but she made a lot of noise.

Although Takarazuka only stipulates that actors cannot marry, there is no explicit requirement that they cannot fall in love.

With Hideki Hanyu's concern, Pioneer Warner and Yunshang Entertainment made efforts at the same time. Akina Nakamori, who hadn't moved before, appeared on various magazines and media in just a few days.

"Hanyu-san, there is one more thing. Bandai very much hopes to cooperate with Saint Seiya. The cooperation application should have been submitted to Constellation Culture. It is estimated that a meeting will be held soon."

Hideki Hanyu had just returned from Takarazuka City when Eri Kitahara called him to the Shogakukan.

"What report, I haven't read it, I'm just guessing casually."

"Don't Hanyu-kun want it?" The girl winked charmingly.

"For Hanyu-kun, I am willing."

"No, it's just that the business department suggested that we prepare more inventory after watching the movie Love Home."

"Didn't it just print 30 copies in February? It's already sold out?"

Hanyu Hideki's words made the girl couldn't help but think of what happened last night, feeling the discomfort in her body, and her face turned red immediately.

In the golden advertising time of major TV stations, the heroine of Morinaga Foods' May new candy advertisement is none other than Akina Nakamori, who debuted less than a day ago.

"Hey..." Hanyu Hideki didn't know what to say.

At the same time, Akina Nakamori, who ended the national promotion, is finally about to debut.

"Maeda-san, don't worry, Hanyu-san has other things to do today."

It's not a problem if one book is auctioned for several million yen. After all, he has numbered all the books without repeating them.

"Then Hanyu-san has been staying with Yunshang Yineng for the past few days."

Although the girl was very shy, she took off her yukata, entered the hot tub, sat next to Hanyu Hideki, and leaned gently on Hanyu Hideki's body.

Hideki Hanyu picked it up and looked at it, and found that there was no problem, so he stamped and signed it.

But just like what he said before, Hideki Hanyu just had a meal with Yuko Tanaka, no matter how wonderful the short story of "Tokyo Sports News" was, the public was not interested.

"Didn't you say that there are many things, and there are other things."

"Now even if I get the manuscript, I can't serialize it, so I'd better wait patiently."

"Maeda-san, I have something to talk about."

"I didn't have a good rest on the road, but I was called by Kitahara-san just after I came back. Of course it was hard work."

He also worships Empress Xiangchun, and admires her demeanor, as expected of a penman, who can say so grandly when promoting his own idol.

They wished they could rush directly to the headquarters of Yunshang Pictures and question them loudly.

"You guys are just pushing idols to debut! As for making it so exaggerated?"

　Thanks to Fengfeng Aihua for the reward of book coins.
