Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 228
"However," Shinichi Iwahashi said to Mayumi Watanabe, "I didn't expect you to be quite interested in the grand prize."

The matter of the grand prize obviously has nothing to do with the two of them. Because Iwahashi Shinichi had a private relationship with Nakamori Akina, and it was the first time he came into contact with this kind of internal struggle, he followed it half curiously. Watanabe Wanyumi was also so interested It's a little strange.

"It's just weird." Wanyumi Watanabe said, "When you go to an interview, if you know that No. 1 has been decided by default, it will discourage the enthusiasm of the candidates. If someone is bribed to deliberately release water in a sports competition, the audience will protest."

"Such a simple and easy-to-understand truth, whether it is Wu Musang's side or Kondo's side, it seems to ignore this point."

Nakamori Akina withdrew, Itsuki Hiroshi won the award, after all, the results are also good.But Masahiko Kondo won the award, isn't he really insulting the eyes of the public?

The selection competition is most afraid of credibility problems. In that case, this program started in 1959 and entered the 70s. The ratings could even rival the Japanese Spring Festival Gala's Red and White Song Festival, so it can be said to be completely abolished.

However, Enka really regarded Kondo Masahiko as an opponent, and Johnny also actively took the back door.

"I'm rather curious about how Johnny's side will open up the joints." Shinichi Iwahashi asked a question, "How can they make up for this gap that can be seen with long eyes. Besides, the other side is the entertainment industry."

"Don't underestimate Johnny's energy, Shinichi-kun." Mayumi Watanabe explained to him, "Although Enka has a considerable voice in the industry, there is also a force behind Johnny that cannot be ignored."

Kitagawa Hiroshi, the president of Johnny's, is a native of the United States. He joined the army in the North-South Double Stick War and worked in the U.S. Embassy. After returning to Japan, he started performing arts activities and accumulated some contacts, even like Hibari Misora. The bigwigs also have contacts.

His older sister, Kitagawa Marie, ran a bar in Akasaka after returning to China. Because her younger brother was involved in performing arts, people from the entertainment industry and cultural figures often visited the bar.

During this period, Kitagawa Marie met the writer Fujishima Taisuke.

Fujishima Taisuke is of Chinese origin, graduated from Gakushuin University, and has a prominent family background. His father is a supervisor of the Bank of Japan, and his wife is the granddaughter of the famous haiku poet Kyoko Takahama.

It was such a writer with a prominent background who met the bar proprietress at the time, Marie Kitagawa. Afterwards, Marie Kitagawa became Taisuke Fujishima's mistress.

The love between the two is as strong as rainwater, and Fujishima Taifu would rather be kicked out by his family and divorce his original wife so that his mistress can become a regular.During this period, Marie Kitagawa gave birth to Taisuke Fujishima's daughter Keiko.After being a mistress for many years, 45-year-old Marie Kitagawa finally became "Yasuko Fujishima". At this time, her daughter Keiko was already six years old, and she finally turned from an illegitimate daughter to a married daughter.

"The gossip is quite exciting." Yanqiao Shenyi was very happy to hear it.

"Really?" Wanyumi Watanabe smiled, "However, for the wife of the wife, it can be said that she has encountered the worst opponent."

This opponent can capture the heart of a great writer, and can endure for many years, and must be proficient in the way of tearing, so it is not easy to provoke.But having said that, Kitagawa Marie can publish a book to introduce her way to the top.

The gossip is explosive, but behind it is the answer to the question raised by Shinichi Iwahashi: Where is Johnny's energy?

Fujishima Taisuke felt that the affairs of the entertainment industry were not on the table, so he didn't bother to ask about the firm's affairs.But, by virtue of his connections, Johnny was able to hook up with both black and white.

Although it is not recognized by the husband's family if the mistress becomes a full-time official, it is enough for them to use the banner of the husband.

Therefore, although Enka has a lot of power to speak in the music world, and there are various unexplainable relationships with Yakuza, but Johnny is not a small character who can only circle around the outer border.Coupled with the success in the male idol market in recent years, they have made a lot of money, and they have money to manage up and down, this is the point.

The answer to this question made Iwahashi Shinichi think of another question.

"Kondo's achievements are on the table. Even if Johnny spends so much effort to win this award for him, it is meaningless to be honest, and it will arouse public outrage. What is the reason?"

"When I was young, I met Jenisan and Marisan several times." Mayumi Watanabe did not answer directly, but talked about something else.

"Really?" Considering that Kitagawa has worked with Watanabe Productions for nearly ten years, it is not surprising that he met the lady from the office.

"Hmm. Jenisan and Marysan have different behavior styles. The people of Jenisan are more generous, but Marysan has a very strong personality, and she is the kind of person who will get revenge for everything she does."

Speaking of this, Mayumi Watanabe smiled, "I was a child at the time, running around at the party, and I was very impressed when I saw Marisan's attitude towards the newcomers who came to serve as waiters."

...It is almost obvious that it left a shadow on her childhood.

"Johnny's has been well-known in the male idol market in recent years. However, once the idols launched by the agency become popular, all kinds of demands will increase. Other agencies will also want to poach them directly because of lack of experience in cultivating male idols. .”

"In the 70s, Xiang Guangmei was poached by BURNING. Although it is different now, we can't just cultivate fast-moving consumer goods forever."

The Gohiromi mentioned by Manyumi Watanabe was a male idol launched by Johnny's in 1972. At that time, Gohiromi was in full swing, and Goro Noguchi and Hideki Nishijo became the "New Royal Three", and the scenery was infinite.

However, when Johnny was enjoying the spring breeze, Gohiromi was poached by BURNING's Zhou Fang Yuxiong, Kitagawa's hard work was wasted, the ace of the firm was taken away, and he was seriously injured, and he went straight to the hospital.

"Compared to Junisan, Marisan has a strong personality, and she is tough when dealing with artists she doesn't like or those who quit the agency, and she can do anything." Watanabe Mayumi said.

"But," she said, Yanqiao Shinichi understood, and continued, "It's impossible to catch the artists under him just by strong means."

Wanyumi Watanabe turned her head and gave him an appreciative look.

Yanqiao Shenyi is a person who can explain everything as soon as he talks about it, and working with him is not tiring at all.

Everyone in the industry knows that Marie Kitagawa dotes on Masahiko Kondo. She loves Kondo so much that it makes people wonder if there is any relationship between the two.

Such Kondo Masahiko, how can he win the love of Kitagawa Marie?

There is indeed something special about excluding this person, and more importantly, I am afraid that it is because Masahiko Kondo is obedient.With Kitagawa Marie's personality, those who offend her will be punished to death, and those who feel comfortable taking pictures of her will hold her in the palm of their hands.

To put it bluntly, Masahiko Kondo is just the most obedient bark in front of Marie Kitagawa.
