Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 192 TV TOKYO Calling for Complaints

The morning sun has just risen.

Fairy Entertainment in Shinagawa District is already busy.

The employees here didn't come to work overtime early in the morning, but they didn't go back at all last night.

When the electronic pet "Tomako" broke out unprecedented sales volume.

After creating sales of more than 53 billion yen in a week.

Elf Entertainment was too busy to stop.

Among them, the busiest ones are the production and product control department and the sales department.

In order to facilitate communication between the two departments, Eri Kitahara temporarily set aside a cooperative office area for the two departments.

The office area is the area left after the "Game Base" was moved away.

It was originally going to be handed over to the manga studio, but for the entertainment of the elves, they could only be wronged to wait for a while.

Two days after the Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Show ended, Hideki Hanyu walked in here with his assistant Reiko Uemura.

When he entered the door, he saw that the two departments added up to more than twenty phones, which were in use non-stop.

"Is it President Yongji from Sapporo? We have shipped it here, sure, I'm sure it's shipped..."

"What's the matter with the foundry in Ota District? Why is the yield of random inspection so low? What! The production quantity is too large? Tell their president, if you don't want to do it, we can hand over the next batch of orders to others!"

"How many times have I said it! The warehouse in Osaka gives priority to the delivery of the two elf shows..."

"What? I'm not looking for electronic pets. I'm very sorry. Kung Fu and the game board for knocking ice cubes are calling XXXXXX. I'm only in charge of electronic pets here."

"Please Hitachi Transport to increase our shipping capacity and let the sellers in Tokyo go directly to the warehouse in Ota Ward to pick up the goods. Now we..."

"Sorry, only units are prepared for the limited edition of the book club, and the pre-orders will not be available until at least May."

……

Looking at the busy scene in front of her, Uemura Reiko couldn't help saying, "Everyone is working hard."

Hearing Uemura Reiko's words, Hanyu Hideki didn't say anything.

Now that the sales are booming, these people must of course work hard.

Is it possible to continue to rely on his kindness to get the bonus like last year?

After all, Yunshang Culture once stayed in the same building as Yunshang Painting.

Many people know the employees there, and naturally they have also heard about the generous bonuses of Yunying Pictures last year.

Especially after the house-buying benefits were announced this year, the number of people eligible for the house-buying benefits at Yunshang Pictures was more than five times that of Yunshang Culture.

The people here see it in their eyes and are anxious in their hearts. Now that they finally see the opportunity to turn around, the interests come first, so how could they not work hard.

For things like pancakes, just draw a picture for the high-level.

The employees below should just reap the benefits.

At this moment, Eri Kitahara, Maemoto Masaaki, the person in charge of the sales department, and Junzhong Kusamura, the person in charge of production control, walked in hurriedly.

"Kaomura-san, no matter how tight our inventory is, quality control always comes first."

"President Kitahara, don't worry, I will arrange random inspections in each factory 24 hours a day."

"Qian Yuansang, the sales of Tamagotchi are very important, but the sales of game boards cannot be relaxed. The momentum of Kung Fu and Knocking Ice is very good."

"I've already arranged for someone to take charge of this."

"The two of you went to find Iwata-san in the afternoon. According to the sales report of the elf show he submitted, the sales of peripheral toys increased rapidly. You determine the sales of different types, and then arrange for our toy factory to expand production."

"Yes."

……

Eri Kitahara was so busy that she didn't even have time to look up while she was explaining the work while checking the documents in her hand.

After entering the door for a while, I didn't find Hideki Hanyu standing beside him.

In the end, it was Junzhong Kusamura who discovered Hideki Hanyu first, and then hurriedly reminded Eri Kitahara.

"When did Hanyu-san come?" Kitahara Eri asked.

"Kitahara-san is busy with you, don't worry about me." Hanyu Hideki didn't want to affect Kitahara Eri's work because of him.

"It's all said and done."

Eri Kitahara explained to Junzhong Kusamura and Masaaki Maemoto, "Go and do your work, and report to me as soon as you have anything."

"Yes, President."

After the two finished speaking, they saluted Hanyu Hideki again, "President, we're off to work."

"Go." Hanyu Hideki waved his hand indifferently.

After the two left, Eri Kitahara relaxed her expression and said to Hideki Hanyu.

"I was wondering just now why there were so many reporters outside the door early in the morning, so it was Hanyu-san who attracted them."

Speaking of this, Eri Kitahara smiled slightly, "Congratulations Hanyu-san, entering the second stage of nomination for the Kate Greenaway Award."

It turned out that just the day before yesterday, the Kate Greenway Awards announced the picture books nominated for the second stage.

Hideki Hanyu's "Owl Under the Moon" is impressively among them.

Then as mentioned above.

When the news came back to Nihong, Hideki Hanyu's news enthusiasm that had just slipped up again became popular again.

As soon as he arrived at Yunshang Culture in the morning, he was discovered by the squatting reporters.

Then other media were attracted, and it became what Eri Kitahara saw.

"North Yuan-san actually knew about it. I thought that Kitahara-san was busy these two days and didn't go home, so he didn't care about watching the news from the outside world."

"The newspapers and TV are full of Hanyu-san's news, it's hard for me not to pay attention."

"It's just a nomination for the second stage. It's not an award. Everyone is making too much of a fuss. I went out to eat yesterday and was almost stuck in the restaurant."

Hanyu Hideki looked troubled.

"If Hanyu-san goes out to hide for a while, although my side is busy, everyone has already adapted, and everything is on the right track, and we won't be in such a hurry as before."

Hearing Eri Kitahara's words, Hideki Hanyu asked with concern, "Is there no pressure on inventory?"

"Thanks to Hanyu-san's foresight, we have stockpiled 500 million in the first batch, and finally created time for subsequent production."

"It's good that there is no pressure on the inventory."

After Hideki Hanyu finished speaking, he found him standing here with Eri Kitahara, which made the employees in the office area a little uncomfortable.

He didn't want to disturb everyone's work, so he said to Eri Kitahara, "Go to my office and talk, we will affect their work here."

Eri Kitahara also noticed the strangeness of the employee, "Okay."

The two walked out of the office area after speaking.

But as soon as he went out, Hideki Hanyu saw a girl who happened to enter the manga studio opposite.

Eri Kitahara caught Hideki Hanyu's gaze, "That's the manga artist introduced by Hanyu-san, it seems to be Ai Yazawa."

"Yes, does Kitahara-san know what she's doing?"

"Hayu-san asked Ms. Uemura to send the person. Of course I want to find out. She is now working as an assistant in the Kung Fu Manga Studio."

"I thought she would publish manga independently."

Hanyu Hideki said to Reiko Uemura beside him, "Take her to wait outside my office."

After arriving at Hideki Hanyu's office, Eri Kitahara asked Hideki Hanyu curiously.

"What is Hanyu-san doing with that Yazawa Ai?"

"I have a good story over there, and I think her style of painting is quite suitable."

Hideki Hanyu's answer made Eri Kitahara's eyes brighten, and she hurriedly asked, "Are you planning to promote a new game?"

No wonder Eri Kitahara is active. After all, as long as it is a story created by Hideki Hanyu, there is no failure.

Not to mention "Magic Snack Shop" and "Saint Seiya", which have become the mainstay of Xiaoshoukan's sales.

Even the magazine "Elf Cute" with a stable circulation of more than 40.

The top three most popular comics are always "Mario Brothers", "Tamako", and "Kung Fu".

Although the stories of these three comics have already deviated from the outline given by Hideki Hanyu.

However, the overall creative style still follows Hideki Hanyu's setting.

"This time it's just a pure comic, and it won't be linked to the game."

Hideki Hanyu had just finished explaining when Reiko Uemura came back.

"President Hanyu, Ms. Ai Yazawa is already waiting outside."

"I see. When I finish chatting with Kitahara-san, I will ask her to come in."

He explained to Uemura Reiko again, "Go to Marco, there is a document bag in the back seat of my car, please help me get it."

"Yes."

Uemura Reiko opened the door and left.

At this moment, Hideki Hanyu remembered something that Eri Kitahara told him a few days ago.

Then he asked Eri Kitahara, "Before Kitahara-san said that Nintendo wanted to cooperate with us, how did the talk go?"

What Hanyu Hideki didn't expect was that as soon as he uttered this question, Kitahara Eri's expression immediately became annoyed.

"Their demands are too much, and I have already refused."

Although Hanyu Hideki had expected this result, he still asked curiously.

"To make Kitahara-san angry like this, I'm curious what conditions Nintendo put forward."

"When they require the game to be ported, their development team must be involved, and it must pass their quality review before it can be released."

Hearing what Eri Kitahara said, Hanyu Hideki didn't think it was too much.

"It is still necessary to control the quality of the game. Atari is a lesson from the past. If it were me, I would do the same."

"I have no problem controlling the quality, but Nintendo said that the copyright of the ported game belongs to them."

"anything else."

"And the game card must be handed over to Nintendo for production. Every time they produce a cassette, we have to pay an additional fee of yen in addition to the production fee of yen. Nintendo said that the additional fee is called a royalty."

"Is there no other condition?"

Hideki Hanyu thought to himself, according to Nintendo's domineering style, didn't they ask for peripheral benefits, did they ask for prepayments in advance?
After all, later generations of Nintendo rely on prepayment fees, but many third-party developers have been disabled.

"No, I refused when it came to this point, and I didn't listen to it at all." Kitahara Eri said angrily.

Hideki Hanyu asked, "Did Kitahara-san try to negotiate a price?"

"Nintendo asked the cassette to be priced at yen, and they took yen, leaving us with yen to include development costs, distribution commissions, and channel sales costs."

Eri Kitahara gritted her teeth and said, "Even if we continue to talk, how much less can we save? One cassette makes two to three hundred yen, and one hundred thousand copies only earns two to thirty million. This is basically working for Nintendo."

"It's really harsh."

Hideki Hanyu really wants to say, as expected of Nintendo, this domineering style of doing things is really from beginning to end.

"Hanyu-san, although the sales of our electronic pets are very good, the game boards are also selling well. The boards for kung fu and ice cubes sold a total of more than 1 last week, and the total sales exceeded 30 billion. Yen, we don't need to accept such harsh conditions from Nintendo now."

Hearing Eri Kitahara's words, Hideki Hanyu nodded, "Then refuse."

Hideki Hanyu could understand Eri Kitahara's thoughts.

Today's arcade market is still booming.

The computer is expensive, and the operation on the PC side is troublesome, and it is difficult for non-professionals to operate.

If you want to play games, you can only go to the arcade game hall.

The game market can be said to be monopolized by arcade games.

Therefore, game developers like Elf Entertainment dared to sell an arcade game board for more than 30 million yen.

Game developers make a living by selling substrates.

But Hideki Hanyu knew that this situation would soon end.

First of all, the appearance of the Nintendo FC red and white machine. The price of yen gave players other options for playing games.

It broke the monopoly of arcade games and gradually squeezed the arcade market.

However, due to performance problems, arcade games are transplanted to FC consoles, which are all low-performance versions.

Players who want to play the high-end version still have to go to the arcade game hall.

However, with the major arcade game manufacturers such as Capcom and SNK, they began to invest in the research and development of hardware technology for arcade consoles.

The consoles of arcade games began to transition from dedicated consoles to general-purpose ones.

Take Spirit Entertainment's "Kung Fu" as an example, the price of the substrate alone is as high as 25 yen.

If you cooperate with other hardware, screen, chassis and other manufacturers for a dedicated arcade machine, the price can be sold for 50 yen.

However, in the mid-80s, when the new game arcade machine dubbed "candy machine" by players appeared, the price of arcade board boards plummeted immediately.

The price of a whole game arcade machine can be won by more than yen.

At the end of the 80s, when SNK and Alpha Electronics jointly developed the NeoGeo arcade machine with a swappable card slot, the era of selling substrates came to an end.

Today's game developers who earn a lot of money from selling substrates are about to end their real good days.

Coupled with the continuous improvement of the performance of TV hosts, the living space of arcade games will continue to be squeezed.

At that time, it will be difficult to support the game and hardware development costs only by selling game substrates.

After all, not everyone is like Hideki Hanyu, a traveler who knows the future and knows what projects can succeed.

For a normal manufacturer, one-third of all game and hardware development projects are successful if they can generate profits.

Otherwise, why would a group of manufacturers be slaughtered by Nintendo willingly.

And Eri Kitahara's thinking is the same as that of other executives of game development clubs.

It is not foreseeable that the market for arcade games will gradually wither away.

Two or three years later, relying solely on the substrate will not be able to make ends meet.

So it is natural to reject Nintendo.

As for why Hideki Hanyu rejected Nintendo.

Aside from Nintendo's harsh conditions that he simply cannot accept.

Of course he has plans of his own.

Hideki Hanyu understands that after the electronic pet is on the right track, it is time to go to America.

Yoshihiro Yata will report to him the latest work progress from time to time.

America's game market has completely fallen into a cold winter.

His plans for America were about to begin in earnest.

Time seems to be abundant, but time is also very tight.

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu asked Eri Kitahara, "What has Satoshi Iwata been doing lately?"

"Develop the second-generation electronic pet you gave me, and also be responsible for part of the management of the elf show."

Eri Kitahara seemed to think of something, "Didn't Hanyu say, let's take advantage of the bad market and recruit more people? Iwata-san is in contact with a research and development team recently."

"What team?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"Irem Club, Hanyu-san should know about it, they participated in our Electronic Entertainment Expo before."

"Of course I know. I heard that several high-level internal fighting is very serious."

Not to mention IREM, Hideki Hanyu also knows that Capcom and SNK, the enemies, were born from IREM.

"The IREM club is about to fall apart due to high-level struggles. It is difficult to carry out normal work. Many producers are looking for a way out. A producer leading an independent team approached us, hoping that Spirit Entertainment can accept them."

"How is your level?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

Although he really wants to take advantage of the downturn in the industry to recruit talents on a large scale.

But at least there must be a level, not all garbage.

Besides, absorbing such a team with a club will definitely face some legal disputes.

Even though IREM's executives are too busy fighting for power and profit, and don't care about them, the liquidated damages that should be paid are still indispensable.

"So I asked Satoshi Iwata to get in touch. According to Satoshi Iwata's feedback, the team led by the producer named Takashi Nishiyama is still very good, and the reason why they chose us is said to be because of kung fu. The reason for this game."

Hearing Kitahara Eri's words, Hanyu Hideki's heart skipped a beat, and he confirmed it again, "Kitahara-san said that the producer is Takashi Nishiyama?"

"That's right, Hideki Hanyu has heard of him?" Eri Kitahara asked strangely.

Hideki Hanyu really wants to say that he has not only heard of it, but the game developed by the other party has accompanied him throughout his childhood.

When developing "Kung Fu", he considered the other party, but unfortunately there was no infighting in the IREM club at that time.

Takashi Nishiyama will join Capcom founded by Kenzo Tsujimoto after the turmoil at IRME.

During his tenure at Capcom, Takashi Nishiyama developed the epoch-making fighting game "Street Fighter".

The game mechanisms such as heavy punches, light punches, heavy legs, light legs, parrying, and rocker commands that are most familiar to fighting game fans today are Dragon Fist, Wave Fist, etc., all created by the team led by Takashi Nishiyama.

If "Kung Fu" created a fighting game.

Takashi Nishiyama's "Street Fighter" set the standard for fighting games.

After developing "Street Fighter", Takashi Nishiyama led the team to switch to SNK and developed "Legend of Hungry Wolf: The King of Fighters" and "Fist of the Dragon and Tiger".

After SNK has these two games as a base.

Takashi Nishiyama eventually produced the crown jewel of the fighting game world, The King of Fighters.

Hideki Hanyu really didn't expect that Spirit Entertainment would come up with the game "Kung Fu".

To catch such a big fish as Takashi Nishiyama.

As long as this fighting game development master can join.

Elven Entertainment will not need to worry about the development of fighting games for the next ten years.

In order to avoid complications, Hideki Hanyu spoke directly to Eri Kitahara's question.

"I know him, he's a great producer, let Iwata Satoru come back, and Kitahara-san will contact him personally. The chaos at IREM will not last long, and we must invite Takashi Nishiyama to join us as soon as possible."

Eri Kitahara was a little surprised that Hideki Hanyu valued Takashi Nishiyama so much.

This attitude is the same as the previous invitation to Toshihiko Nakago.

However, Eri Kitahara knew that Hideki Hanyu rarely intervened in the management of the club.

But as long as she intervenes, she must implement it seriously.

So she immediately agreed, "I will go to see the other party immediately."

After Eri Kitahara finished speaking, Hideki Hanyu continued to explain.

"After Takashi Nishiyama's team joined, let him directly lead the sacred studio."

According to his plan, Sacred Studio started with the game "Kung Fu" and developed mainly fighting games.

It is most suitable for Takashi Nishiyama to be in charge.

"How about Toshihiko Nakago, the current head of the sacred studio?" Kitahara Eri asked.

"Let Toshihiko Nakago lead someone to take over Satoru Iwata's magical studio." Hideki Hanyu said.

Nakago Toshihiko first took over Kurahara Ma's "Kung Fu".

Now, in cooperation with Horii Yuji's Shinhwa Studio, they have created a horizontal scrolling action game.

If he continues to do nothing like this, when will he be able to play "The Legend of Zelda".

Seeing that Eri Kitahara still wanted to ask, Hideki Hanyu continued to explain.

"Iwata Satoru and I have other uses. I took this opportunity to let him leave the R&D position. As for the R&D team of electronic pets, we will set up an independent project development team in Magic Studio."

With more and more game development projects, it is naturally impossible for the three studios to develop only one project at a time.

It is imperative to set up an independent project development team under the studio.

Unified management, independent development.

Just take advantage of this opportunity to implement.

Hideki Hanyu had just finished the planning and arrangement of the studio when his assistant, Reiko Uemura, knocked on the door and came in.

She handed a file bag to Hideki Hanyu.

Seeing Reiko Uemura, Eri Kitahara said to Hideki Hanyu, "Miss Ai Yazawa has been waiting outside for a while, why don't you call her in first."

Hideki Hanyu felt that what Eri Kitahara said made sense, so he told Reiko Uemura, "Go and ask her to come in."

"Yes."

After Uemura Reiko finished speaking, she turned and went out, and soon Yazawa Ai opened the door and came in.

"President Kitahara, President Hanyu, good morning."

After Ai Yazawa came in, she greeted politely.

The little girl is not very old, and she is so sensible, which makes Eri Kitahara very satisfied.

She patted the sofa beside her and invited, "Sit here, Hanyu-san probably has something for you to see."

"Kitahara-san can really guess anything."

Hanyu Hideki smiled helplessly.

Then he took out a manuscript from the document bag sent by Reiko Uemura.

He put the manuscript in front of Yazawa Ai.

"I hope Ms. Yazawa Ai can create a manga based on this story."

Hearing Hideki Hanyu's words, Yazawa Ai looked very surprised.

In today's manga industry, she, President Hanyu, is considered to be the top original manga artist in the industry.

Even if you don't count the three comics serialized on "Spirit Cute".

With the success of "Saint Seiya" alone, I don't know how many cartoonists want to cooperate with it.

As a result, she, the president, did not cooperate with so many big names.

To find her, a little-known newcomer who didn't even have a formal work.

Even though Yazawa Ai didn't speak, Hanyu Hideki knew what the little girl was thinking just by looking at her expression.

He patiently explained, "Miss Ai Yazawa knew it after reading the manuscript. This story suits your style very well."

Although Ai Yazawa signed the contract for "Spirit CUTE", she also has the right to choose to create.

If the other party is not interested, it is useless for him to force it.

"Okay." Ai Yazawa had no choice but to read the manuscript first.

Eri Kitahara next to him heard what Hanyu Hideki said, and was very curious about what style Hanyu Hideki was talking about.

They moved to the side and watched together.

As Hanyu Hideki was once in charge of the Shogakukan.

Whether it is Hideki Hanyu's painting style or literary creation style, Eri Kitahara understands it very well.

But when she started to read the manuscript, doubts kept pouring out in her heart.

Whether it is the text description of the manga script or the illustrations used as examples, there is no trace of Hideki Hanyu's style at all.

A pretentious dog-blood love story.

Gorgeous and beautiful painting style.

Saying that this is the work of a female manga artist, Eri Kitahara would not have the slightest doubt.

Eri Kitahara picked up the cover of the manuscript, pointed to the picture of four beautiful handsome guys surrounded by a girl on the cover, and asked with a puzzled expression.

"This story called 'Boys Over Flowers' was created by Hanyu-san?"

"What? Don't Kitahara-san like it? Shouldn't girls like this kind of story?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"It's not a matter of liking or disliking, Hanyu-san, you are a national teacher, how can you create such a story."

Eri Kitahara said loudly.

In her opinion, Hideki Hanyu debuted as a children's picture book author, and later transformed into a novel. Not only was he nominated for the Naoki Award, but he was also nominated for the Kate Greenway Award.

Hideki Hanyu's works can be naive, cute, inspirational, profound, or sad.

But you must never write such a vulgar love story.

Hanyu Hideki hurriedly explained.

"Kitahara-san, don't worry, just look at the signature."

Hearing this, Eri Kitahara looked at the cover, only to find a few letters written in the corner.

Cupid.

"Cupid, who is this?" Eri Kitahara looked strange.

"There is a female screenwriter named Etsuko Kitagawa in the screenwriting department of Yunying Pictures. This is the joint pen name of me and her. The story of this manuscript was created by her. I just provided simple ideas and ideas. As for the illustrations, I did it. Drawn in the style of Ms. Ai Yazawa."

Eri Kitahara breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Hideki Hanyu's explanation.

"Hanyu-san, if this manga is published, please downplay the original work. If someone asks you, let that screenwriter Etsuko Kitagawa come forward. Your reputation is more important than a best-selling manga."

"Don't worry Kitahara-san, I've already thought about it, otherwise why use a pen name."

How could Hideki Hanyu not know what Eri Kitahara could think of.

He didn't want to take this comic to himself.

Eri Kitahara saw that Hideki Hanyu had already prepared, thought about the content of the manuscript, and couldn't help but say.

"Cinderella, from a poor family, enters a noble school, and is chased by four princely boys. From the perspective of female readers, the story design is very attractive."

"After the serialization of this comic is over, I plan to adapt it into a script and give it to Yunying Pictures to make it into a TV series. What do you think of Kitahara-san?"

Hideki Hanyu asked.

"It's a very good story, but the cost of filming this kind of TV series should not be low, and it is very difficult to make a profit."

In Neon, whether it is TV animation or TV series, it is basically difficult for third-party production to make money.

Eri Kitahara has been in contact with many people before, so she is very clear about this point.

"It's not hard to find advertisers for this kind of fashion show, and it's not a problem to make a small profit if you cooperate with a TV station."

Hideki Hanyu continued to explain, "The making of this kind of TV series is secondary to making money, the main thing is to make popular artists."

"Hanyu-san turned out to be flattering people." Kitahara Eri suddenly realized.

From Eri Kitahara's point of view, it's the story of Boys Over Flowers.

As long as it is filmed, female audiences will definitely like it.

The F4 group, heroine, and other supporting roles in it, as long as they participate in the show, they will probably become popular.

She knew that Hideki Hanyu's firm recruited many trainees with great fanfare at the beginning of the year.

But Eri Kitahara couldn't help but think of the content of the story.

"Such a story style is not suitable for serialization on Fairy Cute. If it is handed over to other comic magazines, how will the copyright be handled?"

"That's my plan."

Hideki Hanyu took the paper and pen from the desk, and wrote down the words 'Elf Cupid'.

"Using this name, I will make a supplement of Fairy Cute, which will be published at intervals of one month or half a month for the time being. If the response is good, it will be independent."

"Another independent manga magazine?" Eri Kitahara pondered.

"I have this in mind. Because of the lack of works of Fairy Cute, the serial types are too mixed. It is necessary to separate out the manga that is biased towards women."

"The second editor-in-chief of Dataka City also mentioned this to me. I didn't expect Hanyu-san to have a plan."

"The specific implementation is still up to Kitahara-san and editor-in-chief Dataka. If Cupid wants to be independent, it is not enough to rely on a Boys Over Flowers alone, and we must continue to sign cartoonists."

Hanyu Hideki's words reminded Kitahara Huili of one thing.

"Speaking of female manga artists, the second editor-in-chief of Dataka City has recently recommended several to sign the contract. Among them is a girl named Morimoto Koko who is very talented. We can consider serializing her works together in the supplement."

"Shoko Morimoto?"

Hideki Hanyu said in his heart, what a guy!Eri Kitahara really gave him enough surprises.

First, Masahiro Aoyama from "Detective Conan".

Now it is Morimoto Shoko, the author of "Golden Master".

As the enterprise becomes more and more mature, big fish will swim in without his intervention.

But that's normal.

There are more and more people and things under his command. It is good that he can control the general direction. It is no longer possible to understand everything in detail.

"Hayu-san knows her?" Kitahara Eri asked.

"No, I think the name is very interesting."

Even if he guessed who Morimoto Koko was, Hanyu Hideki didn't intend to intervene.

While Hideki Hanyu and Eri Kitahara were talking, Ai Yazawa who was next to her had already finished reading the manuscript.

She sorted out the manuscript and handed it to Hideki Hanyu, "President Hanyu, I've finished reading it."

Hanyu Hideki did not accept the manuscript, but asked, "Does Ms. Yazawa like this story?"

"I like it very much." Ai Yazawa replied.

"If you like it, I will leave the creation of the manga to Ms. Yazawa."

"I will work hard." Yazawa Ai said with a slightly joyful tone.

"I believe Miss Yazawa, the second editor-in-chief of Dataka City will communicate with you about the serialization. Miss Yazawa, hurry up and create. If you have any needs, you can contact the editor-in-chief."

After Hideki Hanyu finished speaking, Eri Kitahara next to her said, "You can also contact me. I'm still looking forward to Ms. Yazawa's manga."

"President Hanyu, President Kitahara, I understand."

"Go get busy." Hanyu Hideki fired.

"Yes."

After Ai Yazawa left, Hideki Hanyu went to the window and looked at the large number of reporters still gathered at the door.

He sighed and said, "Kitahara-san's suggestion is good, it seems that I need to go out and hide for a while."

"Where is Hanyu-san going?"

"Go to America, some things have to be done."

Hideki Hanyu said and looked at Eri Kitahara, "Let Iwata Satoshi prepare, I will take him with me."

"What do you need to prepare?" Eri Kitahara asked.

"Hand over the work, and then prepare a prototype of the second-generation electronic pet."

"Ok."

"I still have something to do at noon, so I'll take my leave first. I'll leave the affairs of the club to Kitahara-san."

"Hanyu-san, please rest assured."

……

Saying goodbye to Eri Kitahara, Hideki Hanyu took Reiko Uemura and rushed towards a general hospital in Taito District.

Tang Zejie, who Hideki Hanyu helped pay for the medical expenses before, went to this hospital for medical treatment.

After so many days of treatment, Tang Zejie will be discharged from the hospital today.

The other party contacted Reiko Uemura through the hospital the day before yesterday, saying that he wanted to thank him in person before being discharged from the hospital.

Thinking of Tang Zeshou's achievements in the entertainment industry in the future, he still has a good reputation.

Hanyu Hideki thought it would be good to meet, and asked him if he would like to sign a contract with Yunshang Entertainment.

"Boys Over Flowers" will be serialized soon, and there are only one actor who is suitable for F4.

However, when Hideki Hanyu came to the entrance of the hospital, he found that he didn't need to go in anymore.

Because Tang Zejie, with his arms hanging, was standing outside the hospital door with his things in his hands, looking left and right, obviously waiting for him.

Hanyu Hideki asked Marco to park the car next to this guy, lowered the window and said.

"boarding."

Tang Zejie was wondering whose luxury car it was and why it was parked beside him.

Hearing the voice, he realized it was Hideki Hanyu.

He was about to put down his things and bow to say hello, but he heard Hideki Hanyu urging loudly.

"Don't dawdle, there are a bunch of dog noses behind you, if you don't leave, you will be surrounded."

Hearing Hideki Hanyu's words, Tang Zejie looked back.

Sure enough, he found several cars of different brands driving towards him.

Among these cars, quite a few have rolled down the glass and stretched out their cameras to take pictures in their direction.

Tang Zejie suddenly remembered the report about Hideki Hanyu in the newspaper.

Knowing that he couldn't delay any longer, he hurriedly opened the car door and sat on it.

But after getting in the car, Tang Zejie thanked Hanyu Hideki immediately.

"Mr. Hanyu, thank you for helping me pay the medical expenses. I will definitely return the money I earn to you."

"Can you still go to the Toei Action Club?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"I was injured and caused trouble for the show, and I couldn't go back."

"Then how are you going to make money and pay it back to me?"

"I'll look for a new job when I recover from my injury."

"Why don't I introduce you to a job, how about signing a contract with my firm as an actor?"

"what?"

Tang Zejie was confused by Hanyu Hideki's jumpy speech.

Why did you suddenly sign him to be an actor?
"Do you disagree?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"I agree, I agree." Tang Zejie nodded repeatedly.

That is the art on the cloud.

How could Tang Zejie, who dreamed of becoming an actor, disagree.

"Then I'll take you to sign the contract now."

Hanyu Hideki looked up and down at Tang Zejie, who had a cropped head and was very different from his future image, and said something that made Tang Zejie baffled.

"Since you're signing a contract to be an actor, I'll give you a stage name, and I'll call it Toshiaki Karasawa."

……

Bringing Toshiaki Karasawa, who was renamed by him, Hideki Hanyu came to the headquarters of Yunying Pictures.

As soon as I entered the gate, I saw that the open space next to the headquarters building, which was originally used as a temporary parking lot, had become a large construction site.

It was the construction site of the new office building of Yunying Pictures.

Hanyu Hideki walked over and took a look, and found that the underground part was under construction.

Hideki Hanyu had seen the design drawings of the new office building.

There are two floors underground, and thirteen floors above ground.

As for why he stopped facing Gaogai, it wasn't that he didn't have money, nor that he didn't want to.

Rather, it is limited by the floor area ratio, and can only build up to floors.

According to the planned construction period, the new office building will be completed by the end of the year.

If Yun Shang Pictures wants to move into a new home, I'm afraid it will have to wait until next year.

I looked at the construction site for a while.

Hanyu Hideki continued to take Karasawa Toshiaki to sign the contract.

Enter the headquarters and go up to the floor where Yunshang Yineng is located.

Hideki Hanyu found out by accident that Shota Yoshioka, a busy man, was there.

Just looking at his face, Yoshioka Shota seemed a little unhappy.

Shota Yoshioka also found Hideki Hanyu at this time, and asked curiously, "Why is Hanyu-san here?"

Hideki Hanyu pointed to Toshiaki Karasawa beside him, "Bring him to sign the contract."

"Sign a contract?"

Shota Yoshioka sized up Toshiaki Karasawa.

Although the arms are hanging, it looks a little embarrassed, but the appearance is still good.

After looking at Toshiaki Karasawa, Shota Yoshioka asked Hideki Hanyu, "Since Hanyu-san brought it here, what are your plans?"

On the way here, Hideki Hanyu had already discussed his thoughts with Toshiaki Karasawa.

"Sign him a B-level contract, first conduct comprehensive training, and then find a theater to hone his acting skills. I will make arrangements later."

"I see."

After listening to Hideki Hanyu's words, Shota Yoshioka called a subordinate to take Toshiaki Karasawa to sign the contract, and then arranged to enter the training base.

After Toshiaki Karasawa left, Hideki Hanyu asked Shota Yoshioka, "Why do you look in a bad mood?"

"It's not because of the TV Tokyo incident."

Yoshioka Shota looked sad.

"About the water swimming competition?"

Hearing that it was because of TV Tokyo, Hideki Hanyu immediately remembered what Asako Hirohashi told him backstage at the exhibition.

"Yeah, I went to communicate a few times, but it was useless at all. TV Tokyo's attitude was very firm, saying that Genki Girl and Nakamori Akina must participate in the swimming competition."

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he snorted coldly, "What will happen if you don't participate?"

"It's not what will happen, it's what has happened."

Shota Yoshioka explained, "The MAKE-UP band was supposed to be on a program on TV Tokyo today, but it was canceled at short notice."

Hideki Hanyu curled his lips in disdain, "Are you going to block us? What about Genki Girl and Akina Nakamori? Are their shows also cancelled?"

"Not yet, but the cancellation of MAKE-UP's show is a warning to us," Shota Yoshioka said.

"warn?"

Hideki Hanyu sneered, "Since they want to warn us, they should warn us thoroughly and cancel all schedules of Genki Girl and Akina Nakamori on TV Tokyo."

"Hanyu-san, this..."

Shota Yoshioka felt something was wrong.

Doing so is tantamount to turning your face directly.

Even though TV Tokyo is not as large as the four major private TV stations, it is still a TV station.

In the past, only the TV station blocked the firm, how could any firm block the TV station in reverse.

"Just do as I say, I have my own considerations." Hanyu Hideki said.

If it was another TV station, maybe he would still be scruples.

After all, although the four major private TV stations compete with each other, they have always been "connected with each other" in terms of grand strategy.

Can TV TOKYO?

The four major private TV stations hope that TV Tokyo will go bankrupt soon.

Yun Yinghua really fell out with TV Tokyo, and these guys are too happy.

"It's okay to talk about Vitality Girl, but Akina Nakamori and Warner Pioneer probably won't agree." Shota Yoshioka said.

"Tell Pioneer Warner that they have to agree if they don't agree, otherwise I can still get Akina Nakamori's liquidated damages."

"Ok."

Hideki Hanyu is so strong, Shota Yoshioka can only agree.

However, he was already planning to notify the people in the public relations department of Yunying Pictures.

An agency in the entertainment industry fell out with a TV station.

There will definitely be an uproar.

Yun Shang Pictures must make public relations preparations in advance.

……

However, what Yoshioka Shota did not expect was that the development of the matter was completely different from what he imagined.

When he told TV Tokyo according to Hideki Hanyu's words, Genki Girl and Akina Nakamori canceled TV Tokyo's activities.

The expected storm did not materialize.

Instead, something happened that none of them expected.

Hanyu Hideki, who was packing his luggage in the apartment, received a call from Yoshioka Shota.

When he finished listening to Yoshioka Shota's words, he showed a weird expression of disbelief.

"What? TV TOKYO went to Dentsu to complain!"
