Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 905 What kind of boss, what kind of assistant

"teacher?"

Hirohashi Asako was confused about the address given to Hideki Hanyu.

After all, in Japan, "teacher (sir)" is a very respectful title. Only people in specific industries or with a certain social status can be called that.

It is not like in later generations in China, where anyone in the entertainment industry can be called a teacher, and it is even more impossible for domestic netizens to give this title to AV actresses as a joke.

The status of artists in Japan's entertainment industry is already low enough, but even so, no one thinks that AV actresses belong to the entertainment industry.

In this case, the artists are not worthy of being called teachers.

How can an AV actress, a profession that is "despised" by the entire industry, be called a teacher?

Therefore, Hanyu Hideki naturally could not directly answer Hirohashi Asako's question.

He decisively changed the subject, "Nowadays, the late-night programs on various TV stations are so explicit, I don't think it's necessary for Xidu Group to join in the fun."

Starting in the 1980s, as restrictions on adult animation were relaxed and TV stations recognized the value of late-night programs, coupled with the special nature of the late-night time period.

Therefore, Japan's TV stations have unanimously turned the late-night time slot into a gathering place for R-rated animations and unlimited variety shows.

Many netizens in later generations who watched Japan’s late-night variety shows were deeply impressed by the heavy taste, perverted content, and the shameless insults to the artists.

But compared with today's era, it's nothing but a dwarf compared to a giant.

Nowadays, many Japanese TV stations openly broadcast hentai and extremely explicit infantry TV series in the late night slots.

Even satellite TV in the cloud is not immune to this.

However, because a big tree attracts the wind, Cloud Satellite TV has been somewhat restrained and not too exaggerated.

But directly inviting the contracted actresses of Xidu Group to share their experiences on the midnight show, to perform without props, and even to teach on the spot with molds, is also quite explosive.

At least compared to those later shows featuring actresses, which invited a bunch of "teachers" just for pure chatting, the scale was already outrageous.

Faced with such fierce competition, Xidu Group's decision to set up a so-called adult TV station is, to be honest, not very attractive if it only shows movies.

"I don't know how to make it specifically. If you want to know, Hanyu-san, just ask President Oshima of the Saito Group."

It is obvious that Guangqiao Qianzi is not clear about the operations of Xidu Group.

"Okay, if I have time, I'll go to the headquarters of Saito Group in Chiba Prefecture in person."

Hanyu Hideki seemed to remember something and asked Hirohashi Asako, "I almost forgot to ask Asako-san, what is the name of the cinema in the new city?"

Hirohashi Asako replied, "It's called Unlimited Art."

“Unlimited Art, unlimited art…”

After pondering the name, Hanyu Hideki commented, "I have to say that the name chosen by Asako-san is quite consistent with the positioning of the new cinema chain."

Hirohashi Asako explained, "This name was not thought up by me, but by the photographer Kishin Shinoyama who was in charge of the graphic design and publicity for the new cinema line."

"It turns out it's him..."

Hideki Hanyu curled his lips, with obvious disdain on his face.

This Kishin Shinoyama is the person who, in another time and space, took large-scale photos of actresses such as Miyazawa Rie, Higuchi Kanako, and Aoyama Chikako.

Seeing this, Hirohashi Asako asked curiously, "Does Hanyu-san have a conflict with him? But when I met him before, he was very respectful of Hanyu-san."

"I have never met him or dealt with him, so there is naturally no conflict between us."

Hanyu Hideki waved his hands to deny it, and then seemed to be organizing his words before speaking after a moment.

“I don’t admire him as a person, but I admire his work.”

After hearing what Hanyu Hideki said, Hirohashi Asako rolled her eyes at Hanyu Hideki and thought to herself that all men are the same.

Then, she told Hanyu Hideki about some recent affairs of Yunshang Entertainment, both overseas and in the country, and asked about some issues that Yunshang Entertainment should pay attention to in its future development.

During this time, even their lunch was brought in by Chie Ishihara.

It was not until the afternoon that Hirohashi Asako finally finished communicating with Hanyu Hideki about the accumulated work.

"I have been talking to Hanyu-san for so long without realizing it. I have to work overtime again today."

She stood up, stretched, and made a gesture to say goodbye and leave.

Hanyu Hideki immediately opened his mouth to stop him, "Asaka-san, wait a minute, you've finished your story, I still have something to discuss with you."

Hirohashi Asako sat down again after hearing this, "Hanyu Hideki, please speak."

"Is such that……"

Next, Hideki Hanyu roughly talked about how he hopes Yunshang Entertainment can take advantage of its advantages in Hollywood, integrate the resources of the Japanese film and television industry in the name of leading everyone to develop overseas, become the "boss" of the Japanese film and television industry, and thereby make the position of the entire Yunshang Entertainment platform in Japan more stable.

Hearing that Hanyu Hideki had such ambitions, Hirohashi Asako couldn't help but be amazed.

In just ten years, Yunshang Entertainment has spread its tentacles to almost all areas of the Japanese entertainment and media industry, including artist management, record production and distribution, animation, film and television, variety show production and distribution, advertising production and distribution, film and television special effects, paper media publishing, TV stations, theaters, peripheral marketing, public relations business, chain bookstores...

Whatever you can think of, Yunshang Entertainment has not only done it, but also is a leader in each field.

If we say that the current development of cloud entertainment in Neon has reached the ceiling of the industry.

The suggestion given by Hideki Hanyu now is that if the ceiling cannot be raised, Yunshang Entertainment should sit directly on the ceiling.

At least in the film and television industry, this is what we want to achieve.

“Hanyu-san, it is not easy to achieve this level. Even if you succeed, it will probably take a long time.

What’s more, we are not the only ones in Hollywood. Don’t forget that Sony also acquired Columbia, and they are also actively cooperating with local forces in Japan.”

Hirohashi Asako expressed what was in her mind.

"Of course I know this. If you don't even dare to think about something, how can you succeed?"

After saying this, Hanyu Hideki continued to talk about his plan.

"I never thought that this was a plan that could succeed in a short period of time. I told Qianzi-san because I hoped that Qianzi-san could be prepared for the long term.

Of course, there is no need to think about this matter too much. As for the local forces in Japan, we can take measures to defeat them one by one. As long as the leading studios are taken down, the rest are just guys who follow the wind."

Hirohashi Asako nodded, "I am very happy that Hanyu-san did not want to rush things.

However, I still have to emphasize that this matter seems to be a domestic affair of Japan, but the key point is not in Japan, but overseas, or to be more precise, in Hollywood.

Only if Universal Pictures, which we control, succeeds and continues to succeed, and only if it succeeds after defeating Sony and Columbia, will the Japanese forces truly choose us. "

"Don't worry Asako-san, Universal Pictures will definitely be successful in the future."

Hideki Hanyu's words were full of confidence.

As for the source of his confidence...

Think about those names, Pixar Studios, all copyrights of Middle-earth, all copyrights of Marvel series, Jurassic Park series, and the terrifying Elf Entertainment copyright library created by Hideki Hanyu himself.

And this is just the big series. Hideki Hanyu has not even included the smaller series, such as Die Hard, The Bourne Identity, Home Alone, Need for Speed...

Not to mention, Joanna Rowling, who has been exchanging letters with Hideki Hanyu and has a close personal relationship with him, is the author of the Harry Potter series.

James Cameron has already confirmed that he will collaborate with Cloud Music on "Terminator 2". Now that he has already contacted Hanyu Hideki, he will naturally not let him escape again.

Think about these, how can you lose by using the dragon to hit your face?
Does Sony still want to compete with him in the next few decades?

What a joke! If the opponent dares to throw out a three-on-three, he will just throw out the royal bomb.

Moreover, those who now receive dividends from Universal Pictures through America Entertainment Investments are all carefully selected by Hanyu Hideki and Karl Map, and they are the absolute powerful group in the future America's upper class.

Given the private faces and methods of these people, if anyone dares to stand in their way of making money, it will not be as simple as an apology. The Boeing whistleblower knows.

"Since you are confident, Hanyu-san, I will do my best to cooperate with you. If you need me to do anything, please just tell me."

Hirohashi Asako's choice is the same as before, she still trusts Hanyu Hideki without reservation.

"That's great. Please contact Qianzi-san and Fred Webber and help find a few film projects that we can collaborate on. I'll find a breakthrough for this matter first."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, Hirohashi Asako asked curiously, "Who do you want to see, Hanyu-san?"

Hanyu Hideki replied, "Didn't we just cooperate with Toho on a project? Toho is holding a celebration banquet for the project tonight, and President Matsuoka Isao will also be present. I will go talk to him first."

"If Dongbao agrees, then the rest will be much easier. However, it's obviously impossible to impress them with just a few collaborations."

Hirohashi Asako said this because, apart from several traditional film studios in Japan that produce films on Yunshang Film, Toho has already ranked first in business.

If Toho is willing to cooperate with Yunshang Entertainment in this matter, the leading role it will play will be absolutely unimaginable.

However, even though Toho and Yunshang Entertainment have a good relationship, they also had cross-holdings through Crescent Cinemas when they cooperated on Ultraman International.

Even Elf Entertainment has also cooperated with the Monster Universe.

However, it is still very difficult to make Dongbao completely recognize Yunshang Entertainment as its boss, and just cooperation projects are far from enough.

After all, Yunshang Entertainment and Dongbao have collaborated many times in the past.

Hideki Hanyu just smiled, as if explaining something meaningful.

“A few collaborations won’t do, but I want more than just a few collaborations.

Habits become second nature, and temporary win-win cooperation is for long-term goals.

The temporary sharing is for a longer-term and more difficult to give up attachment.”

Who would have thought that after hearing what Hanyu Hideki said, Hirohashi Asako suddenly said, "No wonder those women are so devoted to Hanyu-san and are reluctant to leave."

Hanyu Hideki said helplessly, "Asako-san, I'm talking about doing business."

Hirohashi Asako smiled and said, "It's the same principle."

Hanyu Hideki raised his handsome face that seemed to exist only in fantasy, and said unconvincedly, "Do I need to use that kind of method to pursue a woman?"

"That's right, Hanyu-san really doesn't need it."

Hirohashi Asako nodded in approval.

Even if Hideki Hanyu has nothing right now, there will definitely be plenty of women willing to give everything for him just based on his appearance.

Even though she is a good friend whom she has known for more than ten years and has no other thoughts about Hanyu Hideki, she is still occasionally amazed by Hanyu Hideki's appearance.

His good friend is really perfect and has almost no flaws except for being a philanderer.

Of course, perhaps in the hearts of women who like Hideki Hanyu, Hideki Hanyu's fickleness is not actually a shortcoming.

At this moment, Hanyu Hideki looked at his watch and said to Hirohashi Asako, "It's almost time. I should also get ready to leave. I'll leave the company's work to Asako-san."

"This is what I should do. Thank you for your hard work tonight, Hanyu-san."

After Hirohashi Asako finished speaking, she said goodbye and left.

Afterwards, Hanyu Hideki simply washed up in the lounge of the office and began to tidy up his appearance with the help of a personal stylist.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the refreshed Hanyu Hideki took his car to Toho's celebration banquet.

The celebration banquet was held in Chiyoda Ward, not far from Toho's headquarters.

Just as the black Rolls-Royce was about to drive out of the port area, Kanako Higuchi, who was sitting in the back seat with Hideki Hanyu and had changed into an evening dress, looked out the window and uttered a light exclamation.

Hanyu Hideki was thinking about how to communicate after meeting Toho President Matsuoka Isao in the evening, when he was interrupted by Higuchi Kanako's voice and looked at Higuchi Kanako with a frown.

"what happened?"

"I'm very sorry to bother you, President."

Kanako Higuchi quickly apologized.

But when he saw that Hanyu Hideki's inquiring eyes had not disappeared, he had no choice but to point to a street not far away and speak.

"I saw a lot of people queuing there, some even sleeping on the floor, so I was a little curious."

Upon hearing this, Hanyu Hideki looked in the direction Higuchi Kanako pointed, but because the car had traveled some distance, he could no longer see anything.

At this moment, the co-pilot Tomoe Ishihara took the initiative to speak up and promptly explained the doubts of Hanyu Hideki and answered Higuchi Kanako's curiosity.

"Teacher Hanyu, that street is the address of the first Elf Show in Minato. People lining up are here to buy the new console from Elf Entertainment."

After Ishihara Tomoe said this, Hanyu Hideki suddenly understood and all his doubts were gone.

Kanako Higuchi was still half confused. She knew nothing about video games and asked in a somewhat slow manner.

"Elf Entertainment, is this the company owned by Mr. President? Is the new product so popular?"

As soon as Higuchi Kanako said this, Ishihara Chie immediately corrected her, "That is not an ordinary new product, it is the PS2 console, a groundbreaking strategic product of Elf Entertainment, developed by Mr. Hanyu himself.

After the console was officially released in Japan on Friday, more than 500,000 units were sold on the first day alone, forcing all stores to limit sales the next day.

Starting from yesterday, anyone who wants to buy a PS2 console needs to queue up in advance.

So it’s not just the place you just saw where people are queuing, the entire Neon… I think it should be the Zuoyou Jingling Show stores all over the world, where people are queuing everywhere.”

When Ishihara Tomoe said these words, in addition to her admiration for Hanyu Hideki, her tone also contained a hint of disdain and contempt for Higuchi Kanako.

That’s right, Chie Ishihara looked down on Kanako Higuchi.

As Hanyu Hideki's personal assistant, his absolute confidant, and the second-in-command in the assistant's office, although Ishihara Chie is very respectful in front of Hanyu Hideki, she is considered a "big shot" in the outside world.

Even the heads of major Japanese companies have to be polite when meeting Ishihara Chie because of Hanyu Hideki.

Ishihara Tomoe knows that all this is thanks to Hanyu Hideki. Although she has no romantic feelings for Hanyu Hideki, she admires him from the bottom of her heart.

In this situation, it is only natural that Chie Ishihara looks down on the "actors" in the entertainment industry and thinks that these "actors" are not worthy of her own teacher Hanyu in any way.

Ishihara Chie can only barely accept those female artists who have followed Hanyu Hideki from the beginning and have self-awareness.

However, Ishihara Chie despises people like Kanako Higuchi, who has rich emotional experience, takes off her clothes in film and television dramas, and is a shameless and despicable actress.

So when she helped Hanyu Hideki deal with these women, she always did it decisively and without any courtesy.

Although Ishihara Tomoe hid her emotions very well, Higuchi Kanako did not notice anything unusual, and even thought it was normal for Ishihara Tomoe to talk to her like that.

But Hanyu Hideki, who is familiar with Ishihara Tomoe, was keenly aware of this.

In response, Hideki Hanyu did not respond.

Although Ishihara Tomoe has her current position thanks to him, as the only person in his assistant office who has been valued by him over the years, her abilities are unquestionable.

In the assistant's office, whether it is the senior Reiko Kamimura or the junior Kaoru Chiba, in terms of ability, there is actually a gap between them and Chie Ishihara.

This is also the reason why he has kept Chiba Kaoru by his side more often in recent years, and kept Ishihara Chie in the headquarters to entrust her with important tasks.

In Japan's social culture, isn't it normal for such a young and strong woman like Ishihara Chie to look down on artists in the entertainment industry?

Of course, you are like your boss, just like your assistant.

Ishihara Tomoe's behavior may have been influenced by Hanyu Hideki.
