Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 492: Faint hostility

Before ten o'clock, Hanyu Hideki drove to Asako Hirohashi's home in Shirokanedai.

Although Yasuko Sawaguchi was very afraid of Asako Hirohashi, the president, she still chose Hideki Hanyu to accompany her.

Ringing the doorbell, the door soon opened.

However, what surprised Hideki Hanyu was that the person who opened the door was not Asako Hirohashi, but Rie Miyazawa, whom he had not seen for a while.

If I remember correctly, this little girl is fourteen years old this year.

The crazy girl back then now has the graceful and graceful feeling of the girl next door.

The girl's face is full of collagen, which is completely different from the skinny image in the movies that domestic movie fans will be familiar with in the future.

"Mr. Hanyu hasn't come to see me for a long time."

After the girl saw Hanyu Hideki, she happily took Hanyu Hideki's arm and shook it.

Hanyu Hideki ruffled the girl's hair out of habit, "I asked Assistant Ishihara to give Rie-chan a birthday gift at the beginning of next year."

The girl pouted and said, "I just asked others to convey it. Mr. Hanyu didn't give it to me personally."

Hanyu Hideki asked with a smile, "Don't you like Rie-chan?"

"I like it." Miyazawa Rie nodded heavily.

The birthday gift given to her by Hideki Hanyu was a picture book created solely for her, with her as the protagonist.

Although the story of the picture book is simple and only has a few thin pages, it is unique in the world.

In a girl's heart, it is far more precious than any gift that can be bought with money.

"I'm very sorry that I couldn't attend Rie-chan's birthday this year, but I promise to personally send a gift to Rie-chan next year."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, Miyazawa Rie immediately stretched out his hand, "Pull the hook!"

Hanyu Hideki also extended his hand like coaxing a child, and made a promise to Miyazawa Rie.

Then he asked, "Are you satisfied now?"

The girl smiled brightly and nodded, "I'm satisfied, but Mr. Hanyu, can you tell me what my gift will be next year?"

"Next year's gift, of course, we won't know until next year."

Hanyu Hideki said and knocked Miyazawa Rie on the head, "I'm here to see Asako-san today. Do you want me to stand at the door all the time?"

"Feel sorry!"

The girl apologized, then turned to Sawaguchi Yasuko and smiled sweetly, "Miss Sawaguchi, welcome to my home."

For Miyazawa Rie, after being taken care of by Hirohashi Asako for so many years, she has completely regarded this place as her home.

As for her original mother Mitsuko Miyazawa, she would come to see her from time to time two years ago, hoping to go to Yunshang Entertainment to cause trouble with her.

Until one day, she suddenly heard from her mother that she had found out the news that her father was abroad and that he was going to Europe to join her biological father.

But since that day, her mother never came to see her again.

Hirohashi Asako also told her that the account used by Yunshang Entertainment to send money to Miyazawa Mitsuko was no longer used four months after Miyazawa Mitsuko went to Europe.

Rie Miyazawa was sad for a while at first, and begged Asako Hirohashi to help her find her mother.

But Europe is so big, it’s not easy to find someone in a haystack.

Until now, she still has no news about her mother.

Gradually, Rie Miyazawa seemed to accept the reality and no longer thought about her mother.

"Hello, nice to meet you, Rie-chan."

Yasuko Sawaguchi had heard about Rie Miyazawa and felt quite sympathetic to the child.

But for some reason, the cute girl in front of her was greeting her with a sweet smile.

But out of a woman's sixth sense, she always felt that there was a hint of hostility behind the girl's sweet smile.

But as Miyazawa Rie turned around and led them into Hirohashi Asako's home, that feeling disappeared again.

Is it her imagination?

Yasuko Sawaguchi was a little confused and finally gave up.

"Aunt Hirohashi, Mr. Hanyu and Miss Sawaguchi are here."

As soon as Rie Miyazawa entered the door, she shouted to Asako Hirohashi.

Then Hirohashi Asako's voice sounded, "Go play with Saori-chan, we adults have something to say."

"I'm fourteen years old, and I'm an adult too." Miyazawa Rie was unconvinced.

"obedient."

Hirohashi Asako's tone was gentle, but after hearing this, Miyazawa Rie didn't dare to defend herself at all, and obediently went to Saori-chan's room to accompany her sister.

Hanyu Hideki, who witnessed the whole process, said with a smile, "It seems Asako-san has the prestige, the little girl has always been skinny in front of me."

"It's not that you don't meet often, but you spoil her when you meet her. The birthday gift you gave her this year was taken to school to show off. Do you know how much the mother of a student paid for it?"

After hearing Asako Hirohashi's words, Hideki Hanyu asked curiously, "How much is it?"

Hirohashi Asako raised two fingers, "Sixteen million yen!"

As soon as Hirohashi Asako's answer came out, before Hanyu Hideki could speak, Ito Shinsuke next to him clicked his tongue first.

"Tsk tsk... According to the current exchange rate, it should be one hundred thousand dollars. Hanyu-san is truly a housewife killer, and the parents of Shiroganedai Middle School are really rich."

Hideki Hanyu said indifferently, "It's only 100,000 US dollars, which is a bit small. I sold one manuscript last year for more than this. The one I gave to Rie-chan was an out-of-print picture book I drew myself."

Hirohashi Asako was left speechless by her two friends, "That's enough for you two! The point is not how much it costs, but the gift you gave to the child is too expensive."

"You can't say that. There is no specific price for what that kind of thing is worth, and I also believe that Rie-chan won't sell my gift."

As soon as Hideki Hanyu finished speaking, a voice came from the railing on the second floor, "That's right, I won't sell the gift Mr. Hanyu gave me!"

Hearing this voice, several people raised their heads and found two little heads peeking out of the railing upstairs.

One is Rie Miyazawa, and the other is Saori Hirohashi, who is nine years old.

Hanyu Hideki smiled and waved to Hirohashi Saori, "Saori-chan, long time no see."

Hirohashi Saori said hello obediently, "Mr. Hanyu, I'm very happy to see you."

Hanyu Hideki immediately said to Hirohashi Asako, "Asako-san, Saori-chan is so good."

But Asako Hirohashi immediately raised his head and glanced at the two children. The two children immediately retracted their heads obediently and hid in the room.

Seeing the two children leaving, Hanyu Hideki sat down on the sofa and asked Hirohashi Asako.

"Asako-san called me here so late, isn't it just to treat me to a supper?"

But before Asako Hirohashi could answer, he glanced at Shinsuke Ito next to him and said, "But since Ito-san is here, it must not be for midnight snacks."

Shinsuke Ito said unconvinced, "Why can't I have late-night snacks while I'm here?"

"If Ito-san has a midnight snack, he will definitely go to Yukio-san. By the way..."

Before Hanyu Hideki could say the next words, Ito Shinsuke decisively gave in for the sake of his own image.

"Okay, I admit that I'm not here for a late-night snack, but I must explain that even if I go to President Tanaka for a late-night snack, it's not necessarily for..."

Seeing the two "live treasures" chatting more and more outrageously, and not talking about business for a long time, Hirohashi Asako suddenly felt like running away.

At this "critical moment", Hanyu Hideki laughed and said.

"Ito-san, stop talking. If you keep talking, Asako-san is going to beat someone up."

Then he sighed with emotion, "But the three of us haven't chatted in private for a long time. This feeling is really missed. It's a pity that Yoshioka-san is not here."

"Stop talking about him, he has recently..."

Ito Shinsuke just started to speak, but immediately stopped, "Let's talk business first. After we finish talking about Yoshioka-san, we can go out and find a place to drink and chat. It's not good for children to hear."

At this time, Hirohashi Asako continued, "Actually, it was Ito-san who came to me first this time, and the two of us discussed it before deciding to call Hanyu-san over.

The reason for being so urgent is mainly because Hanyu-san will leave after the second autograph signing in Tokyo tomorrow, and I won't be able to see you again in a short time. "

Hanyu Hideki spread his hands, "So, what is it for?"

Shinsuke Ito answered, "For the film adaptation rights of Hanyu-san's newly released novel."

Hideki Hanyu suddenly realized, "You two directors of Yunshang Department called me here once in the middle of the night just for the right to adapt a novel."

"This is Hanyu-san's novel. How can I still send Saiki Masuichi to talk to you? Besides, Hanyu-san never agreed to adapt the last love letter. I'm also worried that you have other concerns this time."

After Ito Shinsuke finished explaining, Hirohashi Asako continued to explain, "Although this novel has just been released, we have all seen its public opinion. Taking advantage of the current status of women's rights in neon society, I believe that if we seize the time to adapt it, it will definitely have a great impact. response.”

Hideki Hanyu understood what Hirohashi Asako meant.

They are all people from a high position, and they can naturally see that the feminist trend is rising rapidly.

But we can see that no one can guarantee how long this trend of thought will last.

That's why Asako Hirohashi wanted to seize the time to shoot and launch a movie based on the development of women's rights.

But Hanyu Hideki is not worried about this.

Because he knows that the decline of neon feminism has continued for a long time, relying on the inertia of the residual heat of the economy, even after the bubble economy burst.

But now that Asako Hirohashi and Shinsuke Ito have said it, he has no objection to the movie adaptation.

He simply nodded and said, "I have no objection to the adaptation, but..."

As soon as this happened, Asako Hirohashi and Shinsuke Ito knew that Hideki Hanyu had other ideas.

I had to listen attentively.

“But in my opinion, after a book is released, it needs to spread and ferment in society with the help of time.

Although the current book is very popular, the audience may not be wide enough. If the movie is released immediately, it will easily lead to a situation where there will be no topic but no box office. "

"Ito-san and I have also considered the issues that Hanyu-san has considered, so our plan is to release it next year."

Obviously, Hirohashi Asako thinks no less than Hanyu Hideki.

"next year?"

When Hideki Hanyu heard this time, he couldn't help but think of South Korea's lifting of the ban on neon culture and entertainment next year.

This movie may be a weapon for Cloud Entertainment to enter South Korea.

"Hayuyu-san, do you have any opinions?" Shinsuke Ito asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I just thought of something else."

Hanyu Hideki waved his hand, and then said, "Next year is no problem, then you plan to start preparations now."

"Of course, for such an important work, the earlier it is prepared, the better. I plan to personally serve as the supervisor. Should Hanyu-san consider being the screenwriter? If we work together, no one can stop it."

Shinsuke Ito said enthusiastically.

"Haha, forget it, I don't have that spare time. I recommend Beichuan Yuelizi. This book was originally polished by her. It's the same to find her as it is to find me."

Being a screenwriter on the Neon crew doesn't mean that everything will be fine once you hand in the script.

Even after the crew starts shooting, they must make adjustments at any time according to shooting needs.

With that free time, he would rather take a few beauties to Hawaii.

"Well, since Hanyu-san doesn't want to be an editor, then as the original writer, you can help recommend actors. There should be no problem."

Shinsuke Ito knew that Hideki Hanyu was afraid of trouble, so he decisively changed his request.

"Recommend actors?"

Although Hideki Hanyu had thought about this matter before, he wanted to hear the opinions of his two friends first.

"Why don't you share your thoughts first?"

Shinsuke Ito was also polite and said it matter-of-factly.

"How about letting Akina-san be the heroine? She has never made a movie since she starred in Sparrow Turns into a Phoenix. It would be too wasteful to leave the Academy Award-winning actress unused."

But after Ito Shinsuke finished speaking, Hirohashi Asako immediately objected, "No, Akina!"

Hirohashi Asako's words immediately attracted the attention of everyone present. Even Sawaguchi Yasuko, who had been silent, looked over curiously.

She actually gained a lot of experience today.

She, who has been following Hideki Hanyu these days, certainly knows the popularity of "My Sassy Girl" and what it will mean once the book is adapted and made into a movie by the Yunshang Department.

The male and female protagonists are very likely to become famous and directly enter the front line.

And this opportunity, which is enough to seize the lead in the neon entertainment industry, can be decided by the three people in front of them with just a few words and an understatement.

What is power in the entertainment industry?

This is.

"With Akina's current status, she no longer needs a movie to increase her weight.

My biggest concern is that the heroine's character in this novel is too distinctive and special. Once the audience puts the heroine's character on Akina, it will be harmful to Akina. "

Hirohashi Asako expressed her thoughts.

Hearing this, Hanyu Hideki couldn't help but nodded.

Akina Nakamori's current position as a music queen is indeed inconsistent with the slightly violent heroine's character.

Not to mention the past life, Jun Ji-hyun became famous because of her sassy girlfriend, but she couldn't get rid of the restrictions brought by the role for a long time.

This dilemma is certainly not a problem for those newcomers to the entertainment industry, because what they need most is to become famous.

After you become famous, you can slowly get rid of the role.

But Nakamori Akina is different.

Compared with the fat boy in another time and space who was just an idol singer, the fat boy in this time and space relied on the help of Hanyu Hideki, several popular movies and songs, so that he could firmly sit on the throne of the queen of heaven.

To put it bluntly, it is already very popular throughout Asia.

What Akina Nakamori is thinking about now is not how to become more popular, but to maintain her own personality and consolidate her status.

Shinsuke Ito did not object to Asako Hirohashi's opinion.

After giving up Akina Nakamori, he began to consider who among the Yunshang female artists could take on this role.

But after thinking about it, I found that no one was suitable.

Glancing at Yasuko Sawaguchi next to Hideki Hanyu, Shinsuke Ito immediately shook his head.

Since its establishment, its main focus has been on female idols.

There are many who are too young to play this role.

What about the age-appropriate ones?
Excluding the ones whose acting skills are not up to par, and whose temperament doesn’t match the heroine in the book.

Just like Yasuko Sawaguchi, her pretty and cute appearance cannot be associated with barbarism. Even if she deliberately pretends to be barbaric, it is really unconvincing and will only make the audience laugh.

Some time ago, Hideki Hanyu helped the agency sign a mature actress with good acting skills, but her bust size was too big to steal the show, so there was no need to think about OUT directly.

"Otherwise, let's send audition invitations to other agencies."

Shinsuke Ito said helplessly.

For such an important role, if he had a choice, he would not want to help other artists to praise him under any circumstances.

But I really don’t have a suitable one at home. When the project is more important than the actors, I can only focus on the film project.

As soon as Ito Shinsuke said this, Hirohashi Asako was also ready to nod. After all, she couldn't think of anyone in the Yunshang department who was more suitable.

Seeing that the two of them had no constructive opinions, Hanyu Hideki finally spoke.

"Actually, I have a candidate here."

Shinsuke Ito asked, "Who?"

Hideki Hanyu said, "She is not one of ours yet, but she is only contracted by a small modeling agency. There is no problem in terminating the contract."

Ito Shinsuke asked, "So, Asako-san and I probably don't know her anymore."

"Haha, Asako-san may not know him, but Ito-san doesn't necessarily know him."

Hideki Hanyu looked at Shinsuke Ito and said the name of his recommender, "Kyoka Suzuki, do you remember Ito-san?"

Yes, the one recommended by Hideki Hanyu was Kyoka Suzuki from Sendai City.

After this girl participated in the TGC catwalk, she did not take advantage of the popularity of TGC to develop in Tokyo. Instead, she returned to Sendai to concentrate on college and continued to work as a part-time model.

But Hanyu Hideki knew that Suzuki Kyoka’s future did not lie in modeling.

This girl's acting talent is enough to beat 90% of the neon actresses.

In another time and space, Suzuki Kyoka showed extraordinary acting skills after her debut as an actress.

At the Academy Awards, known as the Neon Oscars, Kyoka Suzuki won the Outstanding Actress Award five times and the Best Actress Award once.

In other Neon TV series and movie awards, Kyoka Suzuki has won more times than she can count with both hands.

The most important thing is that in the mid-to-late 1990s, Suzuki Kyoka began to transform into a glamorous mistress due to resource problems.

But when she first debuted, she was famous for her pure and beautiful image.

However, Kyoka Suzuki, despite her pure beauty, does not lack a strong temperament, which is really rare among today's neon actresses.

Therefore, after Hitomi Kuroki gave up, he had been thinking about Kyoka Suzuki.

Now it seems that regardless of age, acting skills, or temperament, Suzuki Kyoka is the most suitable.

(Kyoka Suzuki·picture·seems to have let this one go before.)
"Suzuki Kyoka?"

Shinsuke Ito murmured to himself, seeming to be trying to remember the name.

After a while, he said with some uncertainty, "It's a model who walked in the TGC show. I'm not very impressed. There are so many girls. I can't remember everyone."

Hideki Hanyu said, "It doesn't matter. Editor-in-chief Kaneda has her contact information. If necessary, you can ask her to come for the audition."

"But if there's an audition, I won't just invite her." Shinsuke Ito quickly emphasized.

Hideki Hanyu said, "Ito-san is the supervisor, so it is natural for anyone to be invited to the audition."

Although he forced it, Ito Shinsuke would definitely choose Suzuki Kyoka.

But as a friend and a partner, he still has to respect Shinsuke Ito.

Shinsuke Ito is not stupid, he knows that Hideki Hanyu is giving him face.

And he also trusted Hanyu Hideki's vision.

So he directly patted his chest to assure himself.

"Don't worry, Hanyu-san. If the conditions are similar, I will definitely choose the person recommended by Hanyu-san. After all, Hanyu-san is the original author."

Having said that, as long as Suzuki Kyoka's acting talent is not too outrageous, Ito Shinsuke will definitely choose Suzuki Kyoka.

As for the image, Hideki Hanyu, the original author, recommended it, so he didn’t need to think about it at all.

After several people talked about it, the adaptation of "My Sassy Girl" ended. The most important heroine has a goal. The actor Hideki Hanyu has nothing to recommend, so he simply leaves it to Shinsuke Ito to worry about.

Next, they said goodbye to Hirohashi Asako, and went to a casual izakaya to chat about Yoshioka Shota.

But we didn’t chat for long before we ended.

On the way home, Hideki Hanyu thought about what he had just learned and sighed helplessly.

After the co-pilot Yasuko Sawaguchi heard this, he quickly asked with concern, "Are Hideki-kun worried about Director Yoshioka?"

"Worried?" Hanyu Hideki said angrily, "I'm worried about him! I'm angry. I told him what to do last time, but he didn't listen at all."

In the izakaya, he learned about Yoshioka Shota's current situation from Shinsuke Ito.

It sounds simple, but it is also very strange.

Yoshioka Shota and his wife had a showdown and wanted to divorce. His wife naturally disagreed at first, but she was eventually convinced.

But when Shota Yoshioka got his wife, he turned around and told Benedetta about it. Benedetta said with a surprised face that she had never thought of marrying Shota Yoshioka.

Then, Shota Yoshioka was dumbfounded.

He had no idea that Italian and French women had completely different emotional concepts than neon women.

What Benedetta enjoys is just the process of a relationship.

For her, the result of getting married or not is not important.

Even marriage is a burden for Benedetta.

Therefore, she never asked Shota Yoshioka to divorce and be with her.

If Shota Yoshioka insists on marrying her, she would rather leave Neon and give up the restaurant she is currently working with.

In this case, Yoshioka Shota was completely trapped in a dilemma and an extremely embarrassing situation.

At home, my wife has agreed to divorce.

Outside, his lover told him that it was okay to have fun, and there was no need to talk about marriage.

The result was that Shota Yoshioka was not divorced, could not return home, and his lover was quarreling and having conflicts, so he simply ran away to America to discuss business.

"Hey, it's really useless." Hanyu Hideki said angrily.

However, he only complained about this kind of thing, and it was of course impossible for him to interfere.

Even if they are friends, they are still family matters.

……

On April 22, Hideki Hanyu completed his second day of autograph signing in Tokyo.

How should I describe the entire autograph signing process in Tokyo? It can be described as a sea of ​​people, shoulder to shoulder, and endless...

In short, there are too many people.

The street where the cooperative bookstore is located is blocked from beginning to end, so a large number of police forces are deployed in the area to maintain order, for fear of causing any riots or stampedes.

Even if Hanyu Hideki repeatedly extended the time of the book signing, he still could not satisfy the enthusiasm of these book fans.

After all, it wasn't just book fans who came to him for autographs this time.

Compared with last time, more game fans brought books and game cards to him for autographs.

But if he is not satisfied, in order to avoid riots outside, he cannot go out and explain to the book fans in person.

In the end, he had no choice but to accept interviews with several TV stations and express his apology on camera to the book fans who came to the scene.

By the way, I also explained that because of the safety of the scene, I couldn’t show up to say hello.
That afternoon, Hanyu Hideki was on the plane heading to Sendai City.

He said to the accompanying team with some helplessness.

"It seems that if we still want to hold autograph sessions in the future, the model must be changed."

Assistant Kaoru Chiba said, "We will communicate with Shogakukan."

Hideki Hanyu said, "You should think about it carefully first."

For the time being, he couldn't think of any good solution.

If this is the Internet age, an online live broadcast can be done at one time no matter how many people.

His communication with book fans is also more convenient and the distance is closer.

As for the autographed book, just prepare a ready-made lottery ticket to give away.

This is actually more fair to book fans.

It's a pity that this kind of thing can only be thought of, and it is only 1987.

Let alone live streaming, many people don’t even know what the Internet is.

……

On April 24th, Hideki Hanyu completed his third book signing in Sendai City. Local book fans gave this signing with great enthusiasm.

Of course, saying local is not accurate.

Many fans of Hideki Hanyu's books have actually followed Hideki Hanyu's journey.

Some are fans of books from the Tohoku region, but there are also fans from further afield, such as Shikoku, Kyushu and other regions.

When Hideki Hanyu came to hold a book signing, the local tourism-related industries were extremely happy.

In the past few days, consumption has doubled several times.

This made the Sendai district councilors wish they could keep Hanyu in charge for a few more days, and by the way, give Hanyu an honorary citizen medal or something.

Of course, they just think about it.

After all, in addition to being a writer, Hideki Hanyu is also the financial backer behind many of them.

After finishing the autograph session in Sendai City, Hideki Hanyu rested at home for a day and then took the team to the last stop of the autograph session.

Hokkaido, Sapporo.

In the evening, a group of them just got off the plane and got into the car that picked them up.

Yasuko Sawaguchi excitedly said to Hideki Hanyu, "After Hideki-kun completes the signing in Sapporo, I will take Hideki-kun to visit Hokkaido."

"No problem." Hanyu Hideki readily agreed.

Yasuko Sawaguchi has been serving as Hokkaido’s tourism ambassador in recent years.

Just after getting off the plane, he saw a poster of Yasuko Sawaguchi at the airport. The girl was wearing a fluffy down jacket, standing gracefully in the white snow, and she was as beautiful as an elf.

But God knows why a girl from Kansai is so loved by the Hokkaido tourism department.

Although in the beginning, Yasuko Sawaguchi obtained this resource because of the contribution of the Yunshang type, but later Yasuko Sawaguchi became more and more Buddhist, and her exposure rate became lower and lower. The chance of seeing her on the golf course was higher than on TV. .

Under such circumstances, Hokkaido has always been willing to invite her as a tourism ambassador. It can only be said that Sawaguchi Yasuko's own charm is too great.

But after agreeing to know, Hanyu Hideki seemed to have remembered something, "It's okay to play, but you need to make a friend with me first."

"Of course there is no problem, but Hideki-kun still has friends in Hokkaido?" Yasuko Sawaguchi asked curiously.

"We just met last year," Hanyu Hideki said.

The friend he calls is naturally Higuchi Tsutomu.

When you arrive in Hokkaido, how can you not pay a visit to this local snake?

The Tohoku region is adjacent to Hokkaido across the sea, and his Tohoku Energy has also cooperated with Higuchi Tsutomu's companies, especially in the offshore energy sector, which is one of the few in Hokkaido.

The next day, his autograph session in Hokkaido was not much different from other areas. It was still the same crowded scene.

However, compared to the first three stops, there are relatively fewer people here.

And Sapporo maintains order better.

Therefore, after finishing the book signing event, Hanyu Hideki made a rare appearance and said hello to the book fans who had not been able to wait for the signing opportunity. He also thanked everyone for their support.

Then, this week's lively autograph session officially came to an end.

Of course, Hanyu Hideki’s busy week was not in vain.
After the furious sales of "My Sassy Girl" on the first day, although the sales plummeted again on the second day, as of the previous day, the cumulative sales reached a terrifying 3.7 million copies.

According to Shogakukan's statistics, it shouldn't be a big problem for the total sales to reach four million after the one-week autograph session.

According to this sales volume, the pre-tax royalties he can earn from this book in one week exceeds 20 million US dollars.

The unit is US dollars! Not yen.

The sales of one book and one week are enough to push Hideki Hanyu to the top of this year's author income list.

Of course, the reason why you can get so much money.

In addition to the terrible sales of books, it is also related to the cooperation model between Hanyu Hideki and Shogakukan.

Today, Hanyu Hideki and Shogakukan are no longer just a writer and a publishing house, but also a corporate cooperation between Yunshang Culture and Shogakukan.

In this book, Hanyu Hideki basically took away most of the benefits.

Shogakukan is more like a publishing platform or distribution channel that Hanyu Hideki found at random.

And Shogakukan’s purpose of retaining Hideki Hanyu was not just to make money, but to retain Hideki Hanyu’s brand name through profit transfer.

After all, if it were not for the interests and cooperation in other fields, Elf Publishing House can do what Shogakukan can do now.

But so far, Elf Publishing House has not set foot in the traditional publishing field except for comics and game publications.

Even the Yunshang Department's most profitable celebrity photo albums, Elf Publishing House did not participate, instead allowing the Yunshang Department to distribute them to Neon's major publishing houses to make money.

It is this tacit understanding that allows the cooperation between the two parties to continue to this day.

It also allowed Hanyu Hideki's company to maintain a good relationship with traditional media companies.

However, even if Hanyu Hideki’s autograph session is over.

But the entire neon book market is still being ravaged by Hanyu Hideki's "savage hurricane".

Killing the list is all basic operations.

Even the hot sales of Hanyu Hideki's works have suppressed the market sales of other works.

Just looking at Shogakukan’s share of the neon book market during this period, it’s as if one publisher is dominating the world and other publishers are about to close down.

The topic of "savage girlfriend" has also become the most talked about hot topic nowadays.

The release of a new book suddenly sells public opinion and forms a social phenomenon.

It has to be said that despite the neon literary circle's criticism of Hanyu Hideki, there are still voices, and the angles are strange and full of tricks.

There are many such remarks in the book reviews about "My Sassy Girl".

“Those women who don’t understand literature at all rush into bookstores to buy Sassy Girl just to imagine that they are the heroine in the book, and the hero is Hideki Hanyu.”

"Four million sales? Maybe Hanyu Hideki's face is worth two million copies."

"A work created to cater to social trends, besides making women have intracranial orgasms, what else can it do?"

……

However, these comments about mantis being used as a car obviously cannot dispel the love of book fans for Hideki Hanyu, nor can they stop the popularity of Sassy Girl.

Of course, no matter what external public opinion is.

Now Hanyu Hideki can finally live a pure life.

The day after the book signing, he visited Higuchi Tsutomu.

Next to her, Yasuko Sawaguchi put on a traditional kimono embroidered with cherry blossoms.

The end of April is the cherry blossom season in Hokkaido.

Therefore, Sawaguchi Yasuko's clothes are quite suitable for the occasion.

Of course, the kimono chosen by Hanyu Hideki for Sawaguchi Yasuko is naturally valuable.

It costs 4.7 million yen and is purely handmade. Even the golden lines on the clothes are embroidered with solid gold thread, highlighting a sense of luxury.

Of course, for Hideki Hanyu, who made more than 20 million US dollars a week just by selling books, it was completely worth mentioning.

Higuchi Tsutomu's home is in Chuo-ku, Sapporo, near Hokkaido Shrine.

Even in this area where land is very expensive and even buying an apartment can be considered a wealthy person, Higuchi Tsutomu owns a traditional house covering an area of ​​more than 6,000 square meters.

However, because the house is too old, the car can only drive up to the door.

But the road at the door is also privately owned by Higuchi Tsutomu.

After Hanyu Hideki got out of the car, he saw Higuchi Tsutomu and a woman also wearing a kimono waiting to greet him at the door.

Hanyu Hideki and Sawaguchi Yasuko came forward and greeted him politely.

"Higuchi-san, please forgive me for intruding."

"It's an honor for me to be a guest, Hanyu-san." After Higuchi Tsutomu finished speaking, he introduced the people around him, "Hanyu-san, this is my wife."

Immediately afterwards, Higuchi Tsutomu's wife said, "Hanyu-san, I am Higuchi Akie. It is a great honor to meet you."

Hideki Hanyu said, "Hello, Mrs. Higuchi, it's our first time meeting you. Please take care of me."

This lady looks very young, she seems to be under forty years old, and her appearance looks quite ordinary.

The reason why Higuchi Tsutomu, a rich man, married an ordinary-looking woman was that before she married Higuchi Tsutomu, her surname was "Nakagawa" and she came from a very powerful political family in Hokkaido.

Obviously, Higuchi Nu and his wife are a neon typical marriage of wealth and politics.

After Hideki Hanyu finished speaking, he introduced Yasuko Sawaguchi next to him, "This is my girlfriend, Miss Yasuko Sawaguchi."

Sawaguchi Yasuko also followed closely to say hello to Higuchi Tsutomu and his wife.

However, compared to Hanyu Hideki, when Higuchi Tsutomu and his wife faced Sawaguchi Yasuko, although they still seemed polite on the surface, a touch of alienation and contempt could still be vaguely felt.

After everyone greeted each other at the door, they walked towards the courtyard inside the door together.

Then, Hanyu Hideki saw the cherry blossom trees planted in the courtyard.

At this time, it is the first blooming season of cherry blossoms in Hokkaido.

Therefore, some of the cherry blossoms on these trees are in bud, and some have already opened their pink flowers. The scene of thousands of flowers blooming is quite uniquely beautiful.

Hideki Hanyu didn’t know much about the varieties of cherry blossoms.

But at this moment, Higuchi Tsutomu, who was next to him, introduced at the right time, "These are mountain cherry blossoms in my yard. I planted them myself when I was a child."

Hideki Hanyu praised, "It's very beautiful. I specially ended the autograph session in Hokkaido this time with the intention of visiting the cherry blossoms, but I didn't expect to see it in advance at Higuchi-san's house."

Higuchi Tsutomu asked, "Hanyu-san wants to go on a cherry blossom viewing tour. Do you need me to arrange for someone to accompany you as a tour guide?"

"No need to bother Higuchi-san. Yasuko has been the tourism ambassador of Hokkaido in the past few years and is very familiar with Hokkaido. She will take care of me."

Hideki Hanyu politely refused.

But what he didn't see was that when he mentioned Sawaguchi Yasuko, Higuchi Tsutomu's wife Higuchi Akie, invisible to the side, had a trace of imperceptible displeasure in her eyes.

After admiring the cherry blossoms in the courtyard, Hanyu Hideki gave a visiting gift and then accepted Higuchi Tsutomu's reception.

When Higuchi Tsutomu received Hanyu Hideki, he really took on the posture of receiving distinguished guests, highlighting his meticulousness, thoughtfulness and thoughtfulness.

Throughout the whole day, both parties were enjoying themselves as guests and hosts.

Even when Hanyu Hideki was chatting with Higuchi Tsutomu alone, he reached several business cooperation intentions with Higuchi Tsutomu.

In the afternoon, after Higuchi Tsutomu and his wife bid farewell, Hanyu Hideki left by car.

His residence in Sapporo is a high-end duplex apartment located near Maruyama in Susukino District.

It is also one of the properties he bought in Sapporo.

Living outside, he has always disliked independent houses for the convenience of life.

High-end apartments that can provide various services have become his first choice for buying temporary residences in various places.

As soon as the two entered the door, Hanyu Hideki lay down on the massage mat on the first floor of the apartment and waved to Yasuko Sawaguchi.

"Jingzi stepped on my back for me. Higuchi-san's house doesn't even have a chair. After sitting on my knees for a whole day, my waist is numb."

Hearing this, Yasuko Sawaguchi very obediently came over and gently stepped on Hanyu Hideki's back.

However, while the girl stepped on her back, she asked Hanyu Hideki a little strangely, "Hideki-kun, I don't know why, but I feel that Mrs. Higuchi looks at me a little strangely. It seems that she doesn't like me very much."

"Maybe it's Jingzi's misunderstanding. It's just the first time you've met."

Hanyu Hideki comforted the girl like this.

But in my heart, I actually already guessed why.

Ever since they met, Higuchi Tsutomu has always wanted to bring his daughter Higuchi Yuka into marriage with him. The last time he asked him to take Higuchi Yuka to submit a manga, it was probably this idea.

On this point, Higuchi Tsutomu and his wife must have the same idea.

A traditional wealthy man in Hokkaido that has been passed down for generations.

One is a young lady from a political family.

The two are a married family formed out of interests, so they naturally hope that their daughter can play a role in the marriage.

He, a new rich man with a clean background, is undoubtedly a good candidate.

The horoscope hasn't even been revealed yet, but it's just a possibility that Higuchi Nu and his wife are vaguely hostile to Sawaguchi Yasuko next to him.

If he really followed the wishes of Higuchi Nu and his wife and married Higuchi Yuka, then with the support of his mother's family and the huge wealth he controlled, there was no telling what would happen.

If it were an exaggeration, one of his current women and future children might have an accident due to some strange reason.

Therefore, he specially brought Yasuko Sawaguchi with him today.

He just wanted to tell Higuchi Tsutomu that he had no intention of marrying him.

It seems that Higuchi Tsutomu can still accept it, but the other party's wife, who comes from a powerful family, is somewhat dissatisfied.

But don't worry about it.

If he really gets married to Higuchi Yuka, the other party might be able to use this opportunity to take action against her mother's family.

But now the two sides cannot fight together.

What can a married woman do if she is not satisfied?

However, Hanyu Hideki still did not expect the development of things.

Next, he and Yasuko Sawaguchi went on a cherry blossom viewing tour in Hokkaido and went skiing at the tail end of the snow season. May soon entered.

On May 7th, Hideki Hanyu, who had been playing for almost two weeks, was preparing to return to Tokyo.

But at this moment, he received a call from Tokyo.

The caller was Miji Iijima.

"Hanyu-sensei, Hokkaido suddenly informed me that Yasuko Sawaguchi will be terminated from her contract as a tourism ambassador for the next season."

　Thanks to the owner of Tongzhai and book friends 2020...3342 for the reward.

　　One thousand and eight hundred today.
