118 Not Your Son
In traditional Japanese culture, "Kids" or "brother-in-law" are not as despised as in traditional Chinese culture; on the contrary, for the middle and lower class Japanese samurai, this is considered a good promotion class.
However, when I think of the Warring States Period in Japan, people with "little surnames" can even enshrine their biological sons to their "Daimyo". It doesn't matter if they are "consort" or "brother-in-law", at least they don't have to suddenly find out that they are shit when they don't understand anything.
The fart hurts so much.
But having said that, Takizawa Hideaki did not become the "consort" of the Kitagawa family in the end, and he did not even inherit much of Johnny Kitagawa's inheritance after his death. Therefore, Lin Junxiu felt that Takizawa Hideaki really suffered a big loss.
Everything is also related to Johnny's own weak character. Ever since Johnny & Associates started operating independently, the entire company has been under the actual control of Mary Kitagawa. Even though Johnny tried to take back the management rights from his sister several times,
The result is nothing more than a loss of the talents he worked so hard to cultivate.
"Johnny, thank you for your respect, but please forgive me that this junior cannot accept your request." Lin Junxiu rejected Johnny's proposal very sincerely. "In my opinion, since you have a definite goal, and
Why bother changing people?"
"Do you think Xiu Mingjun is a good choice?" Johnny asked in surprise.
What doesn't Johnny know about the factional struggle within Johnny's Jr.? People are in the arena and can't help themselves. Johnny's Jr. is a small society and a small arena. In order to fight for the limited resources of the firm and the few debut opportunities, is it possible that these
Are children really innocent?
The entertainment industry is a very scary big mess. As long as you come into contact with this circle, even if you are an angel, you will become a devil. Are children innocent enough? If you think that all Japanese children are extremely pure, then you can only say that you are really innocent.
It's so childish and cute.
Among the factions in Johnny's Jr., Johnny knew that Junxiu Lin and Hideaki Takizawa were the ones who were least able to deal with each other. Regardless of the speculation among the outside world about the Takizawa faction, the Obara faction and the Kansai faction within Johnny's Jr., in fact
It should be the Takizawa faction and the Hayashi faction.
Once Takizawa Hideaki and Lin Junxiu start fighting, they are really merciless. Takizawa Hideaki once used Johnny's hand to kick Lin Junxiu out of the B.I.G. group, and Lin Junxiu changed hands and relied on his own success in the East
As a TV production consultant, Hideaki Takizawa's hosting status in "LOVE B.I.G." was eliminated.
In the end, it was Johnny himself who took action to suppress the deadly fight between the two parties. Otherwise, we don’t know how "Weekly Bunshun" would have reported the split within Johnny's agency. "Don't you dislike him very much?"
"Like and appreciation are two different things." Lin Junxiu replied, "I don't like eating durian, but it does not prevent me from appreciating the fruit value of durian. Takizawa-kun's feelings for Jason are genuine 'father-son feelings', although I
I dare not say that Takizawa-kun would commit seppuku for Jason, but at the very least, he should be the last person in the firm to betray Jason."
Lin Junxiu doesn't like Takizawa Hideaki, but that doesn't mean he can ignore everything Takizawa Hideaki has done for Johnny & Associates. Takizawa Hideaki actually became popular around 1998, and became even more popular in 1999, even surpassing
Arashi was debuting at that time. But Hideaki Takizawa postponed his debut date in order to help Johnny train Johnny.
When Takizawa Hideaki's popularity passed its peak, he teamed up with Imai Tsubasa to debut. And even though the two debuted, Takizawa Hideaki's energy was still dragged down by Johnny's training, so Taki and Tsubasa's team activities
In fact, it is very limited. Otherwise, given the popularity of Takizawa Hideaki and Imai Tsubasa at the time, this two-person band would still have a high chance of entering the "Shun" class.
But in the end, the results of Taki and Tsubasa were not satisfactory, largely because Takizawa Hideaki himself gave up too many opportunities. Therefore, it can also be said that Takizawa Hideaki's final position as president of the sub-club was obtained by his sacrifice over the years.
But it is a pity that Johnny only entrusted his dream to Hideaki Takizawa, but did not entrust his shares to Hideaki Takizawa, so his future path in Johnny & Associates may not be smooth.
"I didn't expect Mr. Lin to have such a high opinion of Mr. Xiu Ming." Johnny said with some surprise.
Although Lin Junxiu only commented on Takizawa Hideaki's loyalty, for family-owned companies like Japan, loyalty is sometimes above all else.
"But Mr. Lin seems not to be optimistic about my future career at Johnny & Associates? I would like to ask why?"
"Jennisan, whatever I say now is empty talk, why don't we discuss this topic again in a few years?" Lin Junxiu said with a smile.
Johnny does have the capital to be proud of. Starting from the first generation of Johnny's, to Yotsuba, Yumi Go, Konohika, Hikaru Genji, how many years have Johnny & Associates monopolized the Japanese male idol market? I originally thought that Japanese male idols would
It disappeared with the "Idol Ice Age". As a result, the female idol market collapsed, but the male idol market began to pick up after the re-emergence of Johnny's idol groups such as SMAP.
But soon Johnny knew that the male idol market was no longer an era where he could dominate the market with one hand, because other capital began to covet this market. Why was Johnny & Associates able to break out so many scandals in one year?
Are all the scandals so deadly? At the beginning of the year, it was revealed that members of TOKIO and KINKI KIDS were involved in "homosexual obscenity". In the middle of the year, it was revealed that Johnny "underage smokes and drinks", and then Johnny
·Kitagawa’s “sexual assault of his artists” and “pedophile scandal”. It’s simple, some people think Johnny’s appearance is too ugly.
When Johnny & Associates was in full swing, on the one hand, there were the rise of other male idol groups in Japan, such as DA PUMP and w-inds. under VISION FACTPRO; on the other hand, Korean male idol groups began to move eastward.
Japan comes to make money, such as TVXQ and Super Junior.
If it were in the past, Johnny & Associates could force major Japanese TV stations to compromise as long as they announced "no co-starring". But what happened later? W-inds. and Ayumi Hamasaki performed together on "Musi". "Musi" is known as a masterpiece
As for the music program of Johnny & Associates’ Mother’s Show, people still ignored Johnny & Associates.
As for when the Korean idol group came to Japan, TVXQ ended up co-starring with Johnny's ace group SMAP in their title program "SMAP×SMAP". It can be imagined that Johnny has gradually lost
gained control of the Japanese male idol market.
By the 2010s, LDH's "Migrant Workers" series and Stardust's "EBiDAN" series had begun to gradually take shape. Although they had not yet completely threatened the status of Johnny & Associates, the challengers had grown up.
After Johnny's death, these grown-up young lions are bound to challenge the aging lion king of Johnny & Associates.
"So you've been seeking to be independent from the firm?" Johnny asked rudely, "Do you think I'm no longer enough to protect you from the wind and rain?"
Although the Lion King is beginning to enter his twilight years, his momentum is still intact.
"If the firm can be united, then even if one day you no longer want to take care of it, the firm can continue to go forward. But, do you dare to promise me that there are no factions in the firm?" Lin Junxiu asked rudely.
.
Although the real cracks in Johnny & Associates did not appear until Arashi became famous, because it was then that Fujishima Keiko had capital in her hands. Otherwise, Julie and Mary would have to endure it for the benefit of the agency no matter how dissatisfied Iijima Sanchi was.
Down. After the rise of Keran, Keiko had a combination that matched Iijima's subordinate SMAP, so the artists within the agency began to join forces voluntarily or forcedly.
The source of the split between the Empress faction and the Female Spy faction lies within Johnny himself. If he wanted Johnny & Associates to maintain the style of a family business, he should not have formed Johnny's Dream to support Iijima's ambition;
The Nice office follows the Western business management system of "professional managers", so it should use its absolute controlling power to force its sister to abide by the company's rules and regulations.
Unfortunately, Johnny, who has a weak personality, couldn't do it, so his compromise and connivance fostered the ambitions of both groups, and finally the so-called "SMAP disbandment controversy" occurred.
Johnny blushed and fell silent randomly. He was not a fool, on the contrary, he was very smart, so he used patchwork methods to keep Johnny's Agency going.
If Mary hadn't suddenly gone crazy and forced Iijima to leave because she was worried about dying in front of Johnny, Johnny's paper-pasting skills might have been able to maintain Johnny's Office until after his death.
"And the important thing is that times have changed. Jason, children today are different from children before!"
What Lin Junxiu still needs to expose is the difference between Showa men and Heisei abandoned houses. The "youthful feeling" that Johnny maintains is only suitable for children in the past. In an era when information has not exploded, there are relatively few temptations, and
Johnny & Associates' combinations usually don't last too long, so only combinations with a boyish quality can leave an impression on Japanese women.
But after the 2000s, children who debuted in this era encountered far greater temptations than children who debuted in the past. In the early years, Johnny's was exposed to the news of smoking and drinking. Later, Johnny's teammates were exposed.
With the news about sharing a bed partner with each other, what do you think of the fans who have followed Johnny & Associates for many years?
Especially those girlfriend fans and mom fans who saw photos of their favorite 16-year-old idol sleeping with a girl overnight, and this girl just slept with another adult boy from the same team a few days ago.
Do you think fans’ mentality will explode?
These little Johnnys who have not yet debuted and can be called real teenagers are all so greasy. Do you think fans will still think that the debut idols they like are innocent enough? Once the idol's personality collapses, then it will be over again
No amount of resources can save it.
"The system you follow will eventually be broken!"
"Ha! I have been running idols for so many years, but have I ever failed? Mr. Lin, there is no need to be so alarmist!" Johnny said in disbelief, "Since Mr. Lin feels that my proposal is unacceptable, let's stop here."
Although Johnny felt a little pity, he knew that forceful love was not sweet. God knows when the wife who was forced into marriage would be given a cuckold, and the son who was forced to marry would be stabbed in the back at who knows when.
"I hope Mr. Lin will not regret today's decision in the future!"
"I hope Jason can remember what I said today." Lin Junxiu is very bitter about the internal strife in Johnny that led to the disbandment of SMAP, because this kind of way of destroying other people's dreams is really bad.
"If one day Jason discovers that you are irreparable, please be sure to contact me. Maybe I can do the last thing."
"Please rest assured, Mr. Lin, that what you predicted will not happen in Johnny's Office." Johnny snorted coldly.
