128 SMAP

There are currently two salary systems within Johnny & Associates. One is the merit-based system insisted on by the so-called "Auntie School". Even members like Lan receive a fixed salary based on your seniority, but the firm promises that after you "graduate"

"After that, a non-executive director position will be arranged, and he will receive dividends from the firm; there is also a share-sharing system used by the so-called "Grandfather School" and "Iijima School".

From the perspective of income alone, of course the share-sharing system brings much higher benefits to artists. Otherwise, every year someone compiles the artist income list of Johnny & Associates, and SMAP of the "Iijima School" and KinKi Kids of the "Grandpa School" would not

They have been dominating the list all year round. However, later on, when Iijima Sanchi was expelled from the office and Kitagawa grandfather completely lost control of the office, SMAP would naturally worry about their income.

In fact, Keiko did not touch the income of KinKi Kids and others, so she said that she can actually tolerate the "sharing system". So, what is the reason that prompted the SMAP members to leave Johnny & Associates even if they split? What if

Just because Katori Shingo "regards Iijima Mitochi as his mother", wouldn't it be too much to underestimate this man who has been working hard in the Japanese entertainment industry since elementary school?

Jack Ma also said that there are only two reasons for employees to leave their jobs, either because they are not paid enough, or they are wronged. From the fact that Fujishima Keiko can tolerate the original "grandpa" artists to continue to enjoy the "share-sharing system" in the office, it means

She won't not give enough money, so she can only analyze it from the perspective of "being wronged".

All Sakura girls know that the trump card in Keiko's hand is "Arashi", so how to arrange SMAP is a very troublesome problem. If you continue to give preferential treatment to SMAP, what should your confidants think? You finally won the war with the boss

, but the boss went to reward the enemy. Isn't Keiko worried about being stabbed in the back? But if SMAP's resources are forcibly distributed to his confidants, will SMAP accept it? You must know that it is different from other combinations.

, many of SMAP’s resources are resources that we have obtained ourselves, especially for TV stations, people like to name SMAP.

If Johnny & Associates is compared to a "plant", then SMAP is the brightest flower or the sweetest fruit at the top of the plant. But in botany, there is a "top advantage", which means that the plant will automatically

Provide nutrients to the stamens at the top first. Then the most beautiful flowers will always bloom at the top and the sweetest fruits will be produced. However, the flowers in other places will not look good and the fruits will be extremely thin and bitter. For all the plants

For humans, this is not allowed. Therefore, when managing orchards, fruit farmers often "pinch off the tips." This means pinching off the tops so that the entire plant can get nutrients, and the fruit will be longer.

many.

Therefore, for Johnny & Associates, they can either transfer SMAP into an independent subsidiary company, or they can only dismantle SMAP for "pinching". The first option is obviously impossible. Keiko Fujishima and her mother have spent so much money

They worked so hard to take advantage of Kitagawa's poor health to raid the office and force Sanchi Iijima away. How could they allow themselves to train another Sanchi Iijima and keep SMAP outside the office?

Once the agency chooses the second option, then Inagaki Goro, Kusanagi Goro and Katori Shingo will inevitably suffer a blow. Kusanagi Goro and Inagaki Goro may be okay, after all, they already have a "Fire Ten Male God"

Title, fixed drama resources are still available; while the other is to create his own image of a "literary male god" in the field of stage plays and literary films. But most of Katori Shingo's resources will have problems, after all, among the five people in SMAP

His position is unclear, and he often has to rely on his SMAP title to obtain resources. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why among the five SMAP members, he is the last to have the strongest desire to leave the firm.

If you want to save SMAP, then the first step is to gain the trust of the five people in SMAP. SMAP was formed in 1988 and has been working hard in the Japanese entertainment industry for 11 years by 1999. Not to mention becoming an old fox through practice, but it is definitely everyone

They are all as shrewd as little foxes. SMAP formed during the most glorious period of the Japanese idol era, and enjoyed the last glory of the Japanese idol era. Then they hit the idol ice age when they debuted, and the idols' treatment plummeted. The five SMAP teenagers are even more face-to-face.

That’s right, the cliff-like reality of going from “proud” to “abandoned”. In order to survive in the entertainment industry, many newly debuted comedians in Japan do things that they will also do as idols. It is precisely because of them

Their efforts regardless of image and fear of hard work allowed them to gradually gain a foothold, and then came the "Kimura Myth" and "One Week Domination" by Masahiro Nakai. People who have worked hard like this will casually listen to a person who has just debuted.

What about a newcomer? Therefore, trust is the most important thing. It can be said that Lin Junxiu asked TBS TV station to create a program tailored for Zhongju Zhengguang.

"Marisan is indeed a qualified businessman, so she wants to get more from us." Masahiro Nakai replied calmly. "If Kimura hadn't led us to cause that trouble, my current income would be

It's not much more than the average office worker in Japan. As for the "pension" and "bonus" that are given to us after team activities, how many seniors in the office have received them? Just the seniors of GENJI work so hard, and the result is

Finally, let them be disbanded and then fire a few more. Where did the so-called 'pension' and 'bonus' go? Lin Jun, don't you yourself not accept the rules of the firm?"

Lin Junxiu was stunned when he heard Masahiro Nakai say this. After all, he was really the second debut idol in the agency to receive a share-sharing system. Grandpa artists such as KinKi Kids and V6 still had to wait for Taki and Tsubasa to debut.

Then they were arranged to be made into components together.

Lin Junxiu could only smile bitterly and said: "Doesn't this also prove that Marissa can still be persuaded? As long as you can give her greater benefits, she can give up this part of the benefits. For SMAP, as long as SMAP can still make money,

No matter what kind of salary system you want, she has no reason to object. I just think it is safe for SMAP-san to put all their bets on Iijima-san? When investing in stocks, you should not put your eggs in one basket, let alone

What’s the future of our seniors?”

"Jun Lin, isn't this program planning a bait for Marissa to lure me away from Iijima?" Masahiro Nakai asked with some vigilance, "If it's a quid pro quo, then I can't accept it."

"Nakaju-san, you misunderstood. The show is my plan and has nothing to do with the agency or Marissa." Lin Junxiu quickly explained, "I am not Marissa's lobbyist, and I am here to persuade you and SMAP-san to leave the restaurant.

Shima-san. I’m just saying that in the future, Iijima-san and Mari-san will inevitably have direct conflicts. How will you and the SMAP-san deal with each other?"

Masahiro Nakai is not really the kind of person who knows nothing about the inside of the agency. Ever since Marisan gave up on becoming the producer of KinKi Kids, Nakai guessed that Mari would make big moves. As expected, Marisan encouraged her.

His daughter Keiko Fujishima came forward to establish the second production company under Johnny & Associates, Johnny Storm. Johnny & Associates was just a simple brokerage company, and the brokerage company was actually not profitable at first.

In the era of recording artists, the main income of idols is records. However, according to the rules of the Japanese record industry, singers can only get 1% of the record price as a share. For a single of 1,300 yen, the singer can only get

13 yen, and the brokerage company will take a commission from this. But if the brokerage company sets up its own record company, it can not only take a commission from the singer's share, but also get 30% of the record price as production costs.

It was precisely because Mary Kitagawa saw this problem that she and Johnny Kitagawa hired Kosugi Riuzo and established Johnny's Entertainment. At that time, Johnny's Entertainment held the record production contracts of GENJI, Junior Team and KinKi Kids

, so it gradually turned Johnny's Agency into a large company. The later Johnny's Storm was not only involved in record production, but also in distribution, and established labels such as J Storm, J-One ReFINITY RECORDS, etc. Therefore, it had to

He said that in terms of doing business, Mary was indeed better than Kitagawa.

As for Johnny's Dream, which was later founded by Iijima Mitomo, it never got a record contract from SMAP, and even the records of Yamashita Tomohisa, Hey! Say! JUMP, Sexy Zone and Kis-My-Ft2 who later defected to Iijima.

The contracts are also scattered among Sony and Polygon. I don’t know if this is because Mijima Iijima is not visionary enough, or because Mr. Kitagawa is afraid to completely delegate power, or because Mary and Julie are causing trouble behind their backs.

Masahiro Nakai obviously doesn’t know how he and SMAP will respond if a power war between Iijima Mitomo and Fujishima Keiko really breaks out in the future.

Seeing Masahiro Nakai's silence, Lin Junxiu took out two more documents and said, "These are two songs I wrote for the SMAP sangs. One song is a team song; the other song is a SOLO song."

.”

SMAP has included personal solo songs in albums, but has not yet released a personal solo single. Lin Junxiu plans to let Katori Shingo release a single in the name of Shingo's mother. Before SMAP disbanded, the entire

In SMAP, only Katori Shingo and Inagaki Goro (under the name "&G") have released solo singles respectively. And Katori Shingo's "Shingo's Mom's Good Morning Rock" single has defrauded many children into giving them lucky money.

, achieved a personal million-dollar order.

Masahiro Nakai discovered that the thickness of the two documents was different. The first document said "らいおんハート", which was a very simple music score and lyrics. The other document said "Shingo Matsudaのおは"

"ロック", in addition to the music score and lyrics, there is also a thick plan. Masahiro Nakai was fascinated when he saw the plan, because this project happened to be connected with the project that SMAP is currently doing, and

It's still an excellent plan to help Katori Shingo raise his reputation.

After Nakai Masahiro closed his eyes and thought for a while, he said very solemnly: "I will take the liberty to accept these two documents. But I still need to think about what I discussed with Mr. Lin today for a while. During this period,

Please also ask Mr. Lin not to reveal the content of our conversation to anyone, whether it’s Marisan or Kimura, please!”

"I understand, Zhongju-san." Lin Junxiu replied.

Since Masahiro Nakai is willing to accept his kindness, it means that his plan to win over is still effective. Lin Junxiu once thought about whether he should help SMAP become independent? But this idea was just a thought, after all, Johnny & Associates

The anger is not so easy to bear. Among all Japanese entertainment companies, Sony and Ran Production are probably the only ones that can deal with Johnny, right? Sony usually does not provoke domestic battles, so Sony basically will not intervene. As for Ran Production, Lin Junxiu
