Just when Vernalossom Corporation was making rapid progress relying on "Majisuka Gakuen" and "Lovelive!", a piece of news in "Tokyo Sports" suppressed all news in the Japanese entertainment industry, that is, "SMAP is disbanded."

In fact, ever since SMAP became popular, there have been endless news about SMAP's disbandment. The points that made people feel that they were almost disbanded were: Mori Zeyuki announced that he would quit the team and the company, Kimura Takuya privately released a photo album, Inagaki Goro was suspected of obstructing justice, and Kimura Takuya

The marriage news and Kusanagi Gang are harmful to social morals. But what is surprising is that every time SMAP was vowed by the media to disband, it turned against the odds and continued to persevere.

However, the disbandment rumors that were exposed by "Tokyo Sports News" made some senior entertainment practitioners feel that SMAP may not be able to persist. First of all, the biggest problem is that SMAP's main manager Miji Iijima was almost humiliated and kicked out.

Johnny & Associates was released, and this agent was of great significance to SMAP.

You must know that SMAP was already semi-independent of Johnny & Associates before it first became popular. After the establishment of Johnny's Dream Company, SMAP and Johnny & Associates were only in name and capital.

Contact, the real operational work of SMAP is in the hands of SMAP and Mijima Iijima. For the three older members, perhaps the relationship with Mijima Iijima has not reached the point of "making progress and retreat together"; but for the three older members,

For Kusanagi Tsuyoshi and Katori Shingo, Iijima Sanchi is of great significance.

Some analysts have made it clear that even if Iijima Mitomo cannot take away the entire SMAP, there is no problem taking away two members. It is the obvious cracks that will split the group that cause SMAP fans to panic

.In the past, no matter what the outside world said that SMAP would disband, SMAP was indeed united internally, which allowed fans to feel at ease.

"Fujishima and her daughter are really anxious, otherwise they would even resort to such bad tactics as humiliating Iijima and kicking her out." Lin Junxiu and Akimoto Yasuo have known about Iijima for a long time. After all, whether it was "Weekly"

Bunshun" or Iijima himself, they can all be contacted. "Now that I am venting to the media, it is nothing more than forcing SMAP and Iijima to express their stance. If SMAP is really disbanded in the future, it will be revenge from Iijima who is unwilling to be fired.

Johnny & Associates, and then they are the innocent White Lotus!"

"But don't everyone know that "Tokyo Sports" has a good relationship with Johnny & Associates? Can't everyone see that this is Mary and Julie releasing air balloons there?" Yasushi Akimoto said with some confusion, he was holding the

Read the newspaper and study the content of the report carefully.

"When did Mr. Akimoto become so naive? Didn't Genesan use the relevant tricks when he sued Weekly Bunshun?" Lin Junxiu said sarcastically.

At that time, Shukan Bunshun reported in several issues that Johnny Kitagawa, the founder, chairman and president of Johnny's Agency, sexually harassed his male artists, even underage trainees. Of course Johnny's side

He sued "Shukan Bunshun" for defaming him in the Tokyo District Court. As a result, he won the first instance and "Shukan Bunshun" was ordered to pay 8.8 million yen in compensation.

Who is Shukan Bunshun? Even the Prime Minister of Japan dared to report on it if they were so ruthless. Faced with the loss in the first instance, they immediately appealed to the Tokyo High Court. The result of the second instance in the Tokyo High Court was that the defamation case was partially established on the grounds that "Shukan Bunshun"

》The report about Jenny’s same-sex sexual orientation is not untrue, so it is not defamatory; the content of the alleged defamation is only about Jenny’s child sexual abuse.

The second trial only allowed "Shukan Bunshun" to pay compensation of 1.2 million yen, which naturally made Jenny dissatisfied, so he appealed to the Supreme Court of Japan. The result of the third trial was to uphold the second trial verdict. The report of "Shukan Bunshun" was not completely untrue. It is a pity that this

The result of the trial was changed under the public relations of Johnny & Associates. The report of "Weekly Bunshun" was inaccurate, and the word "part" disappeared.

Although "Shukan Bunshun" did not continue to struggle, it still published a report in the magazine on July 25, 2019 after Jenny's death, clearly finding a Jr. who was the same generation as Arashi to be interviewed, saying that he would be in the future.

When he was an adult, he was molested by Jenny and robbed of his first kiss. The timing and content of this report are perfect. On the one hand, Jenny’s commemoration activities are still going on, which has once again sparked discussions about his child sexual abuse case.

Undoubtedly, there was a lot of attention; on the other hand, at this time, the news that Lan was about to "break up the group" also happened to attract a wave of traffic and attention from Lan.

"Uh, didn't I turn around for a while?" After being shown off by Lin Jun, Qiu Yuanyaang immediately understood that he was also brought in. "But Jun Lin, according to our plan at the time, this should be the best time for us to take action.

."

"Yes. If we don't take action, I will worry about Fujishima, her daughter and Jenny getting into trouble together." Lin Junxiu nodded.

In the parallel plane, due to Jenny's intervention, SMAP has not yet completely decided to go with the resigned Mitochi Iijima. However, Fujishima and his daughter forced SMAP to apologize at this time, and SMAP agreed in order to stay on the front line.

Come down. But even when it comes to apologizing, Fujishima and her daughter also played tricks. Originally, the group leader should be responsible for the opening and conclusion of the group's apology, especially since Johnny & Associates is so particular about "group spirit."

However, in the public apology of this live broadcast, Kimura Takuya was brought up to replace Masahiro Nakai; at the same time, in terms of dress and speech content, the entire live broadcast apology meeting was more like the apology of the other four people from SMAP, while Kimura was trying to save SMAP

Yu Shuihuo is a key figure. As a result, the apology live broadcast ended, SMAP was really divided, and even the fans were divided.

It was also because of this apology meeting that SMAP fans attributed the team's disbandment to Kimura Takuya's betrayal. Although non-Japanese fans may think it doesn't matter, Japanese Sakura girls really hated Kimura Takuya. After SMAP disbanded

For several years, Johnny felt that although Kimura had always been number one on the list, the number of votes was at a new high every year; but correspondingly, Kimura, who once dominated the list, was kicked out of the top ten.

If Johnny's happy list and dissatisfaction with the list are just for the entertainment of internal Johnny's fans, then the Nikkei enclosure list can be regarded as a large-scale Japanese public opinion poll. Among the five people in SMAP, Inagaki Goro used to be the most popular one.

The edge of the ten-day circle is hovering; but after the disbandment, only Kimura fell out of the ten-day circle, and the trend is getting lower and lower. Although Kimura can still receive advertisements after the disbandment, his advertisements can max out compared to the SMAP era.

All Japan TV stations are completely unwatchable in comparison.

Now Lin Junxiu wants to block the Fujishima mother and daughter from letting SMAP publicly apologize. Kimura in this dimension has not been bribed by the Fujishima mother and daughter, so there is no need to worry about their internal division. However, as an idol group, they are golden in TV stations

The act of publicly apologizing will do a lot of damage to the idol's image. If you are a SMAP fan, it's okay, you will only feel that your idol has been bullied. But in the eyes of passers-by, there must be something wrong with you guys.

Otherwise, there is no need to publicly apologize? What idols depend on is the audience's favor. If the favor fails, it's over.

While the Fujishima mother and daughter were acting like monsters in a parallel dimension, Jenny, the actual manager of the company, was always in a state of wanting to take charge but not daring to take charge. If Jenny completely let go, maybe SMAP would realize what it means.

feelings; if Jenny insists on seeing it through to the end, then SMAP can at least be so-called "solo without disbanding" and leave a decent legacy. As a result of SMAP disbanding and falling apart, Fujishima and his daughter can only say that they are half "

"Credit", and at least most of the remaining half of the "credit" belongs to Jeni. Of course, the conspiracy theory is that Jeni would rather destroy his proud work than let them fund his enemies.

Lin Junxiu did not contact Johnny & Associates immediately, but contacted Victory Entertainment. Originally, when Iijima Sanchi contacted them, they were not in a hurry. After all, they had SMAP's record contract in hand, and as long as SMAP

If they don't disband, they will just sit around and collect money every year. Although the sales of SMAP's singles in the later period are indeed not as good as during their peak period, it is still okay for each single to win the weekly chart number one and sell 20,000 or 300,000 copies.

The production cost of a single is actually not high. If PV production and promotion costs are not included, a single will make money as long as it sells 10,000 copies. Even a single with a high degree of commercialization like SMAP is considered to be 77

The promotion fee is 88%, and 50,000 copies can be used to cover the bottom line. Therefore, all of SMAP's singles are profitable, and they are very profitable. If we also count the collections and concerts that have no production costs

With live albums, it is no exaggeration to say that SMAP is a cash cow for Victory Entertainment.

There is a very interesting ranking. Before SMAP was disbanded, Victory Entertainment was one of the top ten record companies in Japan. In the second year after SMAP was disbanded, that is, after the panic buying effect caused by SMAP's disbandment ended, Victory Entertainment ranked

No longer in Japan's top ten record companies. So after the news of SMAP's disbandment broke out this time, Victory Entertainment was really alarmed. Because everyone is in the circle, the authenticity of the news can still be found out. It is obvious.

, the news that SMAP is disbanding this time is very likely to be true, so Victory Entertainment is anxious.

"I didn't expect that meeting them this time would be a lot easier." Mijima Iijima said with some dissatisfaction. She had planned to meet with the senior executives of Victory Entertainment several times, but the people she met were either indifferent or completely perfunctory.

my own.

"Because no matter where SMAP is, people will sit firmly on Diaoyutai. But if SMAP is disbanded, they will naturally not be able to sit still." Lin Junxiu replied calmly.

In fact, Lin Junxiu understands the thoughts of Victory Entertainment's senior management. Regarding the ownership of SMAP, whether it is Johnny & Associates or the Iijima Three, Victory Entertainment can continue to make money with the record contract. But Victory Entertainment did not expect that

Yes, Johnny's Agency was so careless that they forced SMAP to disband. It's no wonder that after the news of SMAP's disbandment was announced, Victory Entertainment immediately unblocked all SMAP's audio and video content online. Johnny's tables were covered

If it is uncovered, then I, Victory Entertainment, will destroy my job as well.

When Junxiu Lin and Miji Iijima arrived in the conference room, the president and music department director of Victory Entertainment were already sitting here. After everyone exchanged greetings, they sat down separately.

"First of all, I hope everyone understands that our meeting this time is not formal, and the content of the subsequent conversation needs to be kept confidential." Lin Junxiu spoke first and emphasized.

Although Lin Junxiu does not believe that the old foxes here will keep secrets, after all, the possibility of betrayal is directly related to the benefits paid by the other party. However, the greater the benefits, the greater the price paid. Intrigue is the norm in shopping malls, but businessmen

But he believes in "integrity" the most. So the price of betrayal is naturally being spurned by others. It depends on whether you are willing to accept this result.

"Of course." Saito Masaaki, president of Victory Entertainment, said. "After all, we have to bear a certain price for meeting you. As a record company, assisting other agencies to poach artists who are our partners, if this spreads
