311 Mariko Shinoda and Two Men

In a club store frequented by Yasushi Akimoto, Lin Junxiu and Yasushi Akimoto met Mariko Shinoda and the two men behind her. These two men are not unknown in the Tokyo entertainment circle, but they have been involved in the circle for a while.

It took time to learn their names. One is Kimura Masaaki, the president of SOMEDAY Corporation, and the other is Ikuo Subo, the president of Burning Produ.

Kimura Masaaki and his SOMEDAY are themselves a brokerage company that spans the entertainment and sports circles. The well-known domestic beauty Norika Fujiwara is an artist of this company, and it is really true that a girl who is not yet famous can sign with such a brokerage company.

It's good luck. But SOMEDAY Club is famous not only for its beautiful artists like Fujiwara Norika and Kato Ai, but also for its supporting relationship with Burning Produ.

There is a very special relationship between companies in Japan, which is called "support". Although support companies are often directly translated as "subsidiaries" in China, the actual relationship between support companies is more similar to that of brother companies, more or less.

It feels less like a social person, rather than a pure business person.

Burning Produ is not a large-scale brokerage company in Japan, but it has too many sponsoring clubs. Whether it is the sponsoring club of Tristone Entertainment owned by Oguri Shun or TOP ing Produ owned by Kimura Yoshino. Because the companies supported by Burning Produ are

In too many companies, it has always been known as the "super company" in the Japanese entertainment industry.

Of course, not only do they have a large number of people, but the important thing is that Shufang Ikuo is ruthless, and his relationship with the Japanese Yakuza organization is almost semi-public. For example, Yoshimoto Kogyo, although everyone knows that it is a bit unclean, it has close ties with the Yakuza organization.

The relationship is still a bit far away. Because there is an unwritten rule in the Japanese entertainment industry. Once an artist is involved with the Yakuza organization, not only will he be absolutely banned by NHK, but the five major national commercial stations will also try to avoid his appearance.

In her own channel, even a national singer like Misora ​​Hibari was involved in the Yakuza organization, so she was never invited to NHK's Kohaku Utakara Gala. Only Burning Produ was almost openly dealing with the Yakuza organization.

But Japanese TV stations didn't dare to say anything more.

And Burning Produ is also related to Lin Junxiu, because Burning Produ almost killed Johnny & Associates, which was just in its first prosperous period. At that time, Kitagawa cultivated the love of his life-Go Yumi, and

This handsome androgynous boy also successfully conquered all of Japan.

Yumi Go has created many "firsts" in the Japanese idol circle. For example, he is the first idol in Japan to have his own exclusive cheering slogan. The now popular CALL originated from here; he is also the first Japanese idol to have his own slogan.

The idol of the fan support organization, his fans are called the "guards"... It can be said that everything in the fandom now comes from this boss.

Even Johnny's & Associates organized "Little Johnny's" just for this handsome guy. Of course, according to Johnny's official statement later, Little Johnny's was first established to give Johnny's & Associates' first-generation idol group "Johnny's Group"

"Provides an accompaniment band. However, this generation of Johnny's is not in the form of a "trainee" like the later Johnny's. At the same time, they disbanded before the "Johnny's Group" ceased activities. And the true trainee form of Johnny's

It was born during the era of Four Leaves and Hiromi Go. Kitagawa selected 25 teenagers for training so that they could act as backup dancers for Four Leaves or Hiromi Go.

Among them, the best 6 trained people (later expanded to 9 people) became Go Yumi's exclusive backup dancers, and they also slowly accumulated their popularity on Go Yumi's stage. These 9 people were later called

Johnny's Junior, that is, the origin of the name "Little Johnny". However, just when Kitagawa planned to use Yumi Go's momentum to push Johnny's Agency to Japan's first-tier agency, Burning Produ took a fancy to the well-known company at this time.

Yumi Go, one of the "Three Japanese Idols".

In 1974, Hiromi Go, who was deeply favored by Kitagawa, took 6 members of Johnny's Junior and quickly immigrated to Burning Produ in a surprise attack, catching Johnny & Associates by surprise. You must know that Hiromi Go was not the only one who suffered losses from Johnny's & Associates.

This top idol, and also lost the most important substitute lineup, almost wiped out the Johnny's Agency. Maybe Kitagawa is usually a good person, but 3 of the 9 Johnny's Juniors still stayed, which can be regarded as a gift to Johnny's Agency.

Nice Office breathed a sigh of relief.

Go to Burning Produets, and the three remaining people formed JOHNNY'S Junior Special. Unfortunately, neither of these two groups made a name for themselves. This incident hit Kitagawa hard. After JOHNNY'S Junior Special, he took a break

Recruitment of Little Johnny.

At the same time, Johnny & Associates also began to seek transformation during this time. Johnny & Associates even launched female groups such as Three Yankees and e Sisters, as well as mixed male and female groups such as VIP. However, this transformation was not successful.

So Kitagawa decided to let the agency go back to its original path and focus on cultivating male idols.

Lin Junxiu now suddenly understood why Akimoto Yasushi needed to form an alliance with people like Kubota Yasushi and Shiba Kotaro. After all, the Japanese entertainment industry is not a very clean place. But since Shufang Ikuo is willing to meet with him, it means Burning Produ

At least he is willing to talk about it. And Lin Junxiu will not be as helpless as Johnny & Associates in the 1970s. If Burning Produ does not follow the rules, then Lin Junxiu will risk his own power in the Internet public opinion circle at worst.

All forces forced the Japanese government to take action.

Although the Japanese government turns a blind eye to the Yakuza organization, the premise is that the Yakuza organization does not cause any big trouble. If it does cause trouble, the Japanese government will still arrest the boss of the Yamaguchi-gumi and imprison him for a while.

After all, when faced with a normal state machine, any Yakuza organization is like a little brother.

Now that everyone is a civilized person, we took advantage of this luxurious kaiseki meal to start chatting. I have to say that Shufang Ikuo is worthy of the title of "hero". He looks like a gangster who fights and kills, but he is knowledgeable about the past and the present.

However, he did not fall behind at all. You must know that Lin Junxiu is a genuine top student in the Faculty of Literature of Dongda University, and Akimoto Yasushi is also a person who relies on his writing. Both of them can't make Shu Fang Ikuo feel depressed, so this person definitely has something in his belly.

Damn it. After several trials, Qiu Yuanyasu patted the back of Lin Junxiu's right hand while he was pouring wine for him. After receiving the hint, Lin Junxiu stopped playing tricks and started to cut directly.

The reason why Lin Junxiu is allowed to play forward is because Lin Junxiu is young. As a country deeply influenced by Confucian culture, the Japanese also have the so-called stereotype of "having a weak tongue but not being able to do things". Therefore, even if a child of Lin Junxiu's age is

If he said something wrong, Akimoto Yasushi could make it right with just one sentence. So Lin Junxiu tried to test him, and it was Akimoto Yasushi who decided to stop him.

Under the temptation of back and forth, Kimura Masaaki finally stated their request. They hope to stuff Shinoda Mariko into AKB48, and hope that Lin Junxiu will not treat her extra. Kimura Masaaki has also studied Lin Junxiu and others.

Although this system allows other companies to entrust their own artists to be trained by them, everyone is not a fool. There are two different treatments for biological daughters and adopted daughters. Who does not give priority to the best resources to their parents?

Where is his daughter? Therefore, Kimura Masaaki hopes that Vernalossom Club will give Shinoda Mariko the best treatment, and at the same time, after Shinoda Mariko succeeds, she can transfer to SOMEDAY normally.

The whole thing sounds very unfavorable to Vernalossom Club, but Kimura Masaaki said it righteously. But there is nothing we can do. In the business society, weakness is the original sin. Although the list of shareholders of Vernalossom Club is very gorgeous, but it falls to a veteran brokerage like SOMEDAY.

In the company, this list is not worth mentioning.

Sony is great, but how many branches and subsidiaries does Sony have? Even my own son and grandson can’t take care of it. Who cares about an investment company like yours? Whether it’s Sony or Toho, they invest in so many companies every year.

, if every company gives its full support, will they still have to work? As long as S Produ does not make it too ugly, Sony, Toho, and Dentsu will not interfere.

"Of course we have no problem with leaving Mariko Shinoda to our training. But we must make it clear about the ownership of her agency contract." Lin Junxiu said calmly.

"You are trying to get away with nothing. We are not taken advantage of. Kimura-kun, did what you just said mean you or SOMEDAY? Or did it mean Burning Produ? I think I run my business based on the principle of being kind to others.

But this movie means that I am a person who is afraid of trouble. Back then, Jason was bullied so much by Zhou Fangsang. I think Zhou Fangsang should still be wary of Jason? So in this case, I should have some information in Zhou Fangsang's hands, right?

Zhou Fang-san, do you have a way to defeat me with one move before I defeat you? If you don’t have such a killing ability, then we should still discuss business. We can’t get your training money, so we can only get it from Shinoda Mariko

Earn it back with you. When you come to redeem yourself, I think the Shinoda Mariko we return to you will still be of high value."

After listening to Lin Junxiu's words, Shu Fang Ikuo, who had been silent, first laughed, and then asked with a smile: "Jun Lin, even your boss Kitagawa doesn't dare to talk to me like this. Do you think you are more powerful than your boss?"

Is it awesome?"

"It seems that Zhou Fangsang's investigators did not hand over the most critical information to you. No wonder you have so many weird words." Lin Junxiu looked at Zhou Fangsang Ikxiong with a sneer.

Although Japan's Yakuza organizations are almost open to the public, Japan is also a society that strictly controls guns. Therefore, in order not to provoke attacks from the police and even the entire Japanese government, Japan's Yakuza organizations also tacitly abide by several unspoken rules. For example, try to

Do not use hot weapons, try not to deal with the media or people with the right to speak, etc.

"Jennisan is not my boss. My debut opportunities and the resources I received later had basically nothing to do with him. Even if some of them came from him, I also paid corresponding remuneration. In addition, why can I get Sony

, the appreciation of the top management of Toho, Dentsu and Kodansha depends not only on my so-called talent. Zhou Fang-san, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be invincible. Today we all stated our respective conditions, but it seems that we can't agree with each other.

, why don’t we go back and think about it carefully and see how we should compromise?”

"This is indeed a good idea." Zhou Fang Ikuo heard something else from Lin Junxiu's words.

Before getting accurate information, Ikuo Suho would not take action casually. The reason why Burning Produ targeted Johnny was because the Kitagawa siblings betrayed Watanabe Productions first, and Watanabe Productions can be called the leader of modern Japanese entertainment.

The ancestral family of the agency. Therefore, Johnny almost broke with the entire Japanese entertainment industry at that time, so Burning Produ would strike so harshly and quickly. However, Ikkio Suho did not expect that Mary, the woman, would directly hook up with the Japanese royal family.
