"So, the dispute within Johnny's Agency is due to the conflict between Jason and Marisan over the ownership of Shuji and Akira's management contract and their debut location?" Through an informant who stayed inside Johnny's Agency

, Lin Junxiu quickly got the truth about the "internal strife" referred to by Akimoto Yasushi.

Many people actually only know that the civil strife in Johnny's is the so-called "succession dispute" between the "Female History Faction" headed by Mitomo Iijima and the "Empress Faction" headed by Fujishima Keiko. In fact, the root of all this is to blame

To the "operational route dispute" between the siblings Jenny Kitagawa and Mary Kitagawa.

To put it bluntly, Johnny & Associates is a typical family business in Japan. No matter how outstanding Iijima Sanchi is, he is actually what the Japanese think of as a "retainer." It is natural for a retainer to perform well, and it is okay if the head of the family is willing to reward him.

However, if a retainer thinks that he has "outrageous achievements" and demands inheritance rights, it would be considered treasonous in the eyes of the Japanese.

Therefore, unless Sanchi Iijima is adopted by Johnny Kitagawa or Johnny Kitagawa has made it clear early on that Sanchi Iijima is the heir, then Sanchi Iijima’s participation in the inheritance dispute is a losing solution. Noriyuki Higashiyama and Masahiko Kondo were both

Didn't they understand that the heir was named? As a result, the two men ran faster than the other. Kondo Masahiko simply ran out of the entertainment industry and went to drive a racing car; Higashiyama Noriyuki simply hid in the theater and looked like I

A "noble" image who is addicted to art and can't extricate himself. Even Mijima Iijima herself knows that she has a ghost possibility of inheritance. Even when the relationship between her and Mary and her daughter is on the same level, she just wants to take him with her.

Her vested interests are just running away.

Therefore, the so-called battle between the "Empress Faction" and the "Female History Faction" is ultimately a battle between Mary and Jenny. Keiko Fujishima and Mijima Iijima are just the pawns they pushed to the forefront. After all, there is such a thing as brother and sister feuding.

It is also very embarrassing in Japan, not to mention that Mary Kitagawa is still a married woman, and it is even more embarrassing to always worry about her mother's property. However, Mary Kitagawa also knows that this is not good-looking, so she always weakens her identity as a member of the Fujishima family when addressing others.

His daughter-in-law's name was "Fujishima Mari Yasuko", but he continued to use his maiden name "Mary Kitagawa".

Although Jenny Kitagawa is a cowardly person and is often bullied to a great extent by his sister Mary Kitagawa, he still has his own bottom line. Jenny's bottom line in the firm is "the training of little Johnny" and "little Jay"

If Mary dared to interfere in these two matters, Jenny's backlash would be very fierce. So, after the two reached a tacit understanding, they would not interfere with each other. In the eyes of outsiders, Jenny

In the office, "grandpa (Jenny Kitagawa) is in charge of debut and grandma (Mary Kitagawa) is in charge of dismissals."

This time Shuji and Akira's limited combination has a problem. One of the members, Tomohisa Yamashita, has officially debuted as an actor, and his management contract is with Johnny's Agency's subsidiary, Johnny Storm, which is what Keiko Fujishima is responsible for.

That company. But the other member, Kamenashi Kazuya, has not yet made his debut, and his management contract still belongs to Youth Communication Company, which is the subsidiary company that Johnny is responsible for. So who will own the contract of the group "Shuji and Akira"?

This not only involves money issues, but also involves the operation of the portfolio.

Mary Kitagawa and Fujishima Keiko are not as idiots as rumored by the outside world. They may have limited abilities, but it does not mean that they are incapable. The current popularity trend of Yamashita Tomohisa allows them to see the birth of a "Japanese drama prince". As for whether Yamashita Tomohisa has any

His qualifications to become a "King of Japanese Dramas" like Kimura Takuya are still uncertain, but Tomohisa Yamashita is definitely qualified to reach the A-List of Japanese Dramas. Therefore, both women have high hopes for him, so they must cultivate him in their own hands. However,

This involves another little Johnny, Kamenashi Kazuya. This is Johnny's heart treasure. How can he be willing to hand over Kamenashi Kazuya? Based on his understanding of his sister, if Kamenashi Kazuya is let out,

, then Shuji and Akari’s Shuji will be reduced to complete supporting roles.

In addition to the issue of ownership of the management contract, Jenny Kitagawa also hopes to arrange for Shuji and Akira to debut in Southeast Asian countries. You know, ever since Hikaru Genji became popular all over Japan, Jenny has had a dream of "dominating the world" in his heart.

Ambition. During the subsequent recruitment of Johnny Junior, Johnny began to be interested in children who were not Japanese or Japanese.

Johnny even once had a "Panda Plan", which was to establish a Johnny's branch in China, and then let the Chinese Johnny's and Japanese Johnny's interact with each other, and finally a Johnny's group spanning China and Japan was born. Of course,

This is not because Jenny loves China, he just wants to make money from the Chinese people. But basically Jenny is anti-war and has a reflective attitude towards Japan's war of aggression. But everyone also knows that Sino-Japanese relations have always had ups and downs.

Uncertain, so the Panda Plan was terminated before it was implemented for too long.

At the same time, Johnny also cooperated with the local management company GMM in Thailand to launch G-Junior, which is the Junior Johnny training program for Thailand. Compared with the Panda Project that ended without any problem, G-Juniolf & Mike, the brother group, was just their debut.

The subsequent management contract was owned by GMM and had nothing to do with Johnny & Associates. However, before Golf & Mike debuted, they and Yamashita Tomohisa also formed a limited group called GYM. And GYM later formed another group with the same Johnny's

Johnny's group Kitty formed the alliance group Kitty GYM. GYM was briefly popular in Japan. Their only single "Fever and Future (フィーバーとフューチャー)" also won the weekly chart and monthly chart on the Oricon chart.

A good result for runner-up.

In addition to this overseas training mechanism, Johnny has also arranged for Japan's young Johnny to debut overseas. For example, Tegoe Yuya and Masuda Takahisa from the NEWS group were arranged by Johnny to go to Sweden to debut under the name Tegoe Masuda. And also

At this time, Taki and Tsubasa focused their main activities on the Southeast Asian stage. Basically, Taki and Tsubasa's singles were released in multiple languages ​​in order to seize the market in East and Southeast Asia.

Lin Junxiu has no objection to Jenny's international ambitions, but Shuji and Akira's experiment has touched Lin Junxiu's bottom line. Lin Junxiu is willing to support Shuji and Akira because he hopes that this combination can feed back the ratings and make "Wild Boar Makeover" a success.

》has become the second hit drama on TBS TV station Mu10. If Shuji and Akira are arranged to debut overseas, what will it mean for "Wild Boar Makeover"?

Since the beginning of the new century, Korean dramas have steadily surpassed Japanese dramas in Asia, and now the basic base of Japanese dramas is in Japan. Even the Japanese province of China, Taiwan, is now starting to crack down on Korean dramas, and Japanese dramas want to compete with Korean dramas on Taiwan's TV stations.

?That is simply seeking death. So Lin Junxiu is opposed to Shuji and Akira going overseas. They should focus all their energy on the Japanese market, go deep into various regions in Japan, and boost ratings.

"I am opposed to Shuji and Akira making their overseas debut in the future. They must limit their activities to the Japanese market." Lin Junxiu immediately rushed back to Johnny's Agency after figuring out the internal problems.

Although Lin Junxiu currently does not have any shares in Johnny & Associates, he is Keiko Fujishima's partner, so his opinions are still very influential in the firm. This time Junxiu Lin is openly supporting Keiko Fujishima.

, although Mary Kitagawa didn’t know the reason, she definitely would not demolish her daughter’s supporters at this time, so she encouraged her own people to support Lin Junxiu, which stunned Jenny Kitagawa, who was originally unwilling to express his opinion.

come out.

"Lin Jun, you are not a shareholder of our firm, nor are you a management member of our firm. What qualifications do you have to advise on our operating strategy?"

Jenny Kitagawa is not a gentle and kind old man. This may be one side of him, but as a capital boss in the entertainment industry, if you believe that he does not have two brushes, then it can only mean that you are simply going too far, or are you

Go back to kindergarten and study. Jenny doesn’t equivocate with Lin Junxiu, he directly pokes Lin Junxiu to death with a question. You are not qualified, so your opinion is like a gust of wind.

"It's true that Johnny-san, Tomohisa Yamashita and Kamenashi Kazuzu are also artists at Johnny's, but 'Shuji and Akira' is not your Johnny's." Lin Junxiu had to remind Mr. Xi, "According to the contract, 'Shuji and Akira'

' is a planning combination jointly owned by My Show Production and TBS TV station. Its purpose is to promote and promote the TV series "Wild Boar Makeover". Now we can tentatively decide that 'Shuji and Akira' are Kameli-kun and Yamashita-kun, you can also find

Others, Jason, I heard that the W-inds group is also very popular now."

Although Lin Junxiu took away many excellent works that originally belonged to them from w-inds., I have to say that Vision Factory was still quite powerful at this time, and the new works they found for w-inds. also allowed them to quickly

W-inds. At this time, Johnny & Associates was not as strong as it was after 2008, so w-inds. At this moment, they are almost the only male idol group on the market that can have an impact on Johnny & Associates.

And even though w-inds.'s TV exposure in Japan has plummeted due to the suppression of Johnny & Associates, w-inds.'s influence in Asia is still A-List among Japanese idol groups, especially in

Hong Kong, China, w-inds. has almost won all the Asian boy group music awards awarded by IFPI Hong Kong and RTHK since their debut.

It is precisely because of the support of the entire Greater China market that w-inds. even though they lost most of the Japanese market after 2010, they are still Japan's first-line boy band. w-inds.'s singles are well-received in Japan.

The fact that they can still remain in the top ten on the chart is enough to prove that they still have sales in the Japanese market. Moreover, w-inds. is opening more and more concerts every year, which makes Lin Junxiu very impressed. After all, they can be in the Japanese market.

It was difficult to survive under the strong suppression of the Nice Office, but w-inds. actually survived quite well.

When Junxiu Lin announced the name of the group w-inds., the expressions of Johnny and other agency executives changed. w-inds. had an impact on all groups in Johnny & Associates, which means SMAP debuted relatively early.

Except for the fact that it does not overlap with the TOKIO style and has no direct influence, the others from V6 to Arashi have been very badly impacted. Especially Arashi, to a certain extent, w-inds. The benchmark combination is them.

Compared with w-inds.'s single sales and TV exposure, Lan's performance at this time was a bit unsatisfactory. Lin Junxiu even doubted whether NEWS's hasty debut was a counterattack against w-inds.'s impact. After all, male

Johnny & Associates will never sell out the idol group market.

Therefore, when they realized that Lin Junxiu might really cooperate with w-inds., Jenny had to put down his pride and said: "Jun Lin, you are an artist of our agency, and you cannot turn your heart to outsiders."

"Jennisan, in addition to being an artist, I am also a producer and businessman. If the actors I find are not helpful or even counterproductive to my TV series, of course I have to find those suitable artists." Lin Junxiu disagreed.

Would you compromise with Jenny so easily?

"Jun Lin, we did indeed make a mistake in this matter. We should not have made decisions without consulting our partners." This time it was Mary who came forward to intercede.

Lin Junxiu really admires this old lady. She is a typical businessman. Internal strife is internal strife. Once external changes occur, you must immediately put aside internal conflicts to deal with external conflicts. And with Mary's identity and age, she can definitely take advantage of the situation.

To convince Lin Junxiu. But Mary just lowered her face and begged for mercy, because she knew that the cooperation between Johnny and Lin Junxiu could not be broken.

"In future projects related to Shuji and Akira, we will give priority to show production and TBS TV station. So please don't change people this time!"
