457 Co-acting NG
"What does this mean? Musi withdraws our announcement?" The media director of Vernalossom asked in disbelief when he heard the news.
"Musi" is a longevity music program broadcast by Asahi TV. It has been stably suppressed by "Hey! Hey! Hey!" and "Song Anime" in the 1990s. After entering the new century, as the other two music programs have changed from regular programs to occasional special programs, and even the interval between broadcasts has increased, so "Musi" has established a stage that must be fought for by various record companies.
Although Vernalossom has a relatively ordinary relationship with Asahi TV, Lin Junxiu and Akimoto Yasu and the "Musi" program team and host Tamori are very close. So the media director can't figure out why the other party canceled the program invitation after sending the program invitation. This is too unusual.
"Ask the people involved right away and see what the reason is!"
"So, the reason why "Musi" canceled AKB48's program was that Johnniez's firm expressed his strong intention to play NG with us?" Lin Junxiu quickly received the news, and also received the news collected by the media center as soon as possible.
Lin Junsoo doesn't think that Johnniez will not do this. With the card "Go to Play NG", Kitakawa doesn't know how many male idol groups and the firm behind them have been forced to death. However, AKB48 is a female idol group, and the cooperation between AKB48 and SMAP has been continuing.
"This news will be confirmed again, and it will not be made public for the time being."
"I just heard that "Musi" canceled our stage?" Akimoto Yasushi ran over again after he had just sent away the media center.
"I just called Takaichiro Oda, the co-producer of the program team, and said it was the request of the Johnniez firm. He just promised me that as long as there is no period for Johnniez artists, we can still go there."
"What's the nerves in the Johnnie's office?" After confirming the news from Akimoto Yasu, Lin Junsoo cursed with dissatisfaction. "It's all the time, and he still plays this kind of ban trick. I really think "Musi" is their exclusive program!"
Although Lin Junxiu complains so much, "Musi" is indeed an exclusive program of Johnniez. Since GENJI became popular in Japan, "Musi" has artists under Johnniez appear on stage almost every period. Even if there are no artists of Johnniez occasionally participating in stage performances, you will definitely see images of Johnniez's artists in the program's inventory. According to statistics and analysis by some viewers on the Internet, Johnniez's artists account for almost half of the guests on Musi. Only Ai Hui and Sony Music can compete with Johnniez.
Lin Junxiu thought about it and called Mitsuto Iijima. Compared with Keiko Fujima, Iijima is Kitakawa's confidant. However, what Lin Junxiu didn't expect was that Mitsuto Iijima actually refused his phone number. Lin Junxiu had to send an email to Mitsuto Iijima, reminding her not to forget that the two are in an alliance and that there will be greater interests waiting for her in the future. Under Lin Junxiu's coercion and temptation, Mitsuto Iijima finally replied with an email, with only time and address in the email.
Lin Junxiu reached the location according to the instructions from the email. This is the back door alley of the building where a shopping mall is located. Although the front door is full of traffic, the back door is very quiet. Even if someone passes by occasionally, he will be in a hurry and will not notice this inconspicuous small door at all.
Lin Junxiu stood at the door for a short time and saw the door open. Mitsuchi Iijima was looking at her in the door with dissatisfaction. She knew this was not the place to speak, but just whispered: "Follow me!"
Lin Junxiu followed Mitsuto Iijima into the small door, then arrived at the 9th floor through an internal elevator, and then walked along an employee passage to a door behind. Mitsuto Iijima took out the key and opened the door. Behind the door was a private room that could accommodate about seven or eight people.
"This is a whiskey club I invested in. You can't get in without a membership card. This private room belongs to me all year round, and I only have the keys for the back door." As if I arrived at my own safe house, Mitsuko Iijima looked a little relaxed. "You sit first, I'll have someone to send a bottle of wine in." Mitsuko Iijima said, while picking up the phone near the main entrance of the private room.
In addition to making sake, the whiskeys they make are also well-known around the world. As imported products from Europe and the United States, whiskey, red wine, champagne and other foreign wines are very popular in Japan. Even the consumption scale of whiskey and champagne is among the top in the world, so this kind of whiskey club, red wine club and other whiskey clubs are very common in Tokyo. This kind of bar is usually membership system, and is specially designed for people to gather and discuss important matters. Because of this, the lighting in the box has been specially designed. It is difficult for the waiter to see the people on the seat when standing at the door, but the people on the seat can see the others clearly.
"Your club is probably spending a lot of money, right?" Lin Junxiu said with some emotion. The woman Mitsuki Iijima is so good at hiding. Even though she has worked with Iijima for so many years, he doesn't know such a place. You know, Lin Junxiu has commissioned different detective agencies to investigate Iijima, and she actually hid the place.
"This is where I usually chat with Masato Sakai, and I won't make an appointment to meet other people here," said Mitochi Iijima.
Sakai Masahira is the nobleman of Mitoto Iijima. He introduced Iijima to the Johnny's office back then. Sakai Masahira is also a big shot in the Japanese entertainment industry. He has served as the top manager of Columbia Records, CBS Records, and Sony Records in Japan. Finally, he opened a brokerage firm called Sakai Production. The singers he served as producers include Nansaori, Gori Hiromi, Yamaguchi Momoe and Matsuda Seiko.
Sakai Masaki is the biggest backer of Mitochi Iijima. The parallel plane was also because of the introduction of Akira Tanabe Akira Tanabe that he made Mitochi Iijima have the illusion that he could fight with the Johnniez firm. As a result, Akira Tanabe finally betrayed Mitochi Iijima, which caused Mitochi Iijima to bankrupt the entire plan to poach SMAP, and finally ended with her resignation.
"So it's Sakai San." Lin Junxiu looked at Mitoko Iijima with some slight slightness.
In fact, Lin Junxiu really wants to test whether Mitsuto Iijima has contacted Akichi Tanana now. But he has more important things now, so it’s better to eliminate teammates in the future.
"Miss Iijima, I want to know what happened to the Johnniez office? Why did it suddenly target us?"
"Don't you know very well?" Mitochi Iijima asked back with a sarcastic sarcastic look, "What's wrong with your Ebisu?"
"Private Ebisu Boys Academy? That's the project of Stardust Communication Interactive Company." Lin Junxiu blamed him.
"Mr. Lin's ability to pretend to be confused is getting better and better." Iijima poured a cup of whiskey and handed it to Lin Junxiu. "Not to mention that the artistic director of this project is still your name, just look at the shareholder list of Stardust Communication Interactive Company and you will know that you can't get rid of your relationship, right? Simply put, you made Kita Kawasan feel threatened. Recently, several potential Jr. went to your place to sign up after resigning, which even more exciting to the old man, so I got angry at you!"
"You mean Marysan?" Lin Junxiu frowned, "Where is Kita Kawasan's attitude?"
"Of course it's support." Mitochi Iijima shrugged, "You don't know how we dealt with VF back then?"
"Please, the private Ebisu Boys Academy trains actors, okay! And before they officially debut, we also train them as Artist," said Lin Junxiu.
Lin Junxiu has always had a headache about Japanese English, especially the abuse of English in the Japanese entertainment industry, which has made fans outside Japan feel particularly difficult to understand the professions of the Japanese entertainment industry. For example, the profession of Artist in the Japanese entertainment industry is difficult to explain clearly. You cannot translate it as an artist because there is a professional category of cultural people in the Japanese entertainment industry as an artist; but it is not right to translate it as an artist or an artist. The former refers specifically to funny artists in Japan, while the latter is a general term for practitioners in front of the entire entertainment industry.
The profession of Artist is a bit similar to idols, but it is said that it is more professional than idols, that is, it means that it can sing high notes and dance. At the same time, Artist also has a bit of a TV artist, which means that it is more funny on TV than ordinary idols. Although there is so much explanation, in fact, there is no essential difference between Artist and idols. The reason why we invented the profession of Artist was that some Japanese firms were engaged in avoiding the targeting of Johnniez. Of course, Kitakawa is not a fool. If Artist is really called Artist, it is not an idol?
"Okay, Mr. Lin, just let it go. I really think that people in the Johnnys office are fools?" Mitochi Iijima rolled his eyes and said. "Kitakawasan said that your ability to operate idols is not inferior to him, and the only thing he lacks is his aesthetic. He even said that from an absolute fair point of view, it is the most correct way to hand over Johnnys office to you. So, he will definitely not give you any opportunity to operate a man's idol. As for Marysan, it's better to explain. You have to dig up Johnnys's roots. Do you still expect her to think of the wonderful old times she has worked with you?"
"So, Johnnys's firm must take revenge on me this time? But there is no need to target AKB48, right?" Lin Junxiu didn't argue anymore. He said seriously, "Johns' firm has gone through the boundaries this time. This kind of revenge of implicated nature will be targeted!"
It is normal to compete in the mall. Coca-Cola wants to kill Pepsi all the time, but this does not mean that the competition between the two can expand the artillery fire at will. For example, Coca-Cola suddenly targets KFC, which has a cooperative relationship with Pepsi, which is an unpopular move in the mall.
When Johnniez was acting in NG against VF, Ai Hui and Sony would not express his attitude. VF knew from the start of cultivating male idols that he had to face Johnniez's suppression. Since that's the case, don't pretend to be a weak person. But if Johnniez became a man's idol because of Stardust Communication Interaction, he would attack the related AKB48, then can you guarantee that it will not attack Ayumi Hamasaki or Hirai Kensai in the future?
Therefore, Lin Junsoo is not worried about this ban, because Asahi TV and "Musi" will not follow suit as long as they have normal brains. The announcement of withdrawal is for the sake of long-term cooperation, and it is impossible to retreat again. Moreover, after the other party withdraws, he immediately says that he can arrange other stages of the period, which means that the other party has never wanted to advance and retreat with Johnnies's office. Therefore, Johnnies's performance in NG is just a joke.
"What's the use of telling me?" Mitochi Iijima spread his hands, "The adults are not as easy to talk to as I do."
"Then I can only wait for them to hit the south wall before talking." Lin Junxiu said helplessly, "By the way, how are you thinking about my proposal?"
