National Tide 1980.
Chapter 897
After finally putting on her makeup, Keiko Matsumoto felt relaxed.
Looking at her perfect self everywhere in the mirror, her mood was as if the haze had lifted, as beautiful as the queen who got the magic mirror and answered "You are the most beautiful woman in the world".
Only at this time can she have the interest to look up to enjoy the beautiful view of the garden outside the floor-to-ceiling windows and the clear blue sky.
But on a sunny day, it is destined to be an extremely busy day.
On this day, Keiko Matsumoto's itinerary was fully arranged by herself.
In the morning, I have to go to my office first to assign tasks to my subordinates.
In the afternoon, I will go to two circle gatherings to strengthen my contacts and look for opportunities.
Unlike most artists in the entertainment industry, economic contracts will be bound under the name of a professional brokerage company.
A-list movie stars like Keiko Matsumoto have full autonomy in economic contracts.
Often after the initial brokerage contract expires, a big star of her level will hire lawyers, accountants, and exclusive agents to form a personal firm, and then jump out of the control of the brokerage company.
Actress Kurihara Komaki is like this, Yoshinaga Sayuri is like this, "tough guy" Takakura Ken and comedian Kiyoshi Atsumi are like this.
Some stars even have an individual team with as many as dozens of people.
In addition to professional staff and personal assistants, there are even exclusive personal masseuses, nutrition consultants, image consultants, and external public relations.
So whether you have a personal office or not is actually a reflection of the size of the Japanese celebrity cafe.
In other words, those who are willing to sign with a brokerage company are only small stars, and the real big stars all choose their jobs by themselves.
Momoe Yamaguchi, who was popular in Asia in the 70s, is probably the only exception, but that is only because she retired too early.
But having said that, considering Keiko Matsumoto's current predicament, it seems that this privilege has become her disadvantage instead.
Because she has no job, she has no income, and she has to support a lot of people.
Even her exclusive team is relatively streamlined, only employing seven people.
But the monthly labor expenses and office expenses of the personal office are also a lot of money, at least 300 million yen is needed to maintain it.
That is to say, even if she doesn't eat or drink herself, she has to spend 4000 million yen every year to support the auxiliary team.
This is undoubtedly a huge economic burden.
Like this morning at 09:30, Keiko Matsumoto drove to the office near Putian Park and walked into the office area.
The scene she felt was that her team members were sitting at their desks in a daze, holding coffee or tea with nothing to do.
After seeing her, even if these people stood up and saluted and said hello, they were slow.
This shows how low the overall morale is.
And the embarrassing situation of such a bleak operation made Keiko Matsumoto even more sad than the actual economic difficulties.
Fortunately, in the past few days, she has re-planned some career plans for herself.
So when she walked into her office that day, she directly made a positive gesture that she was about to take action.
Ask the assistant to inform the two most important team members - Watanabe Mitsuru, who is in charge of finance, and Akira Okamoto, the contract agent, to come to the conference room for a meeting.
Akira Okamoto and Mitsuru Watanabe are relatively experienced professionals, and they were both employees of Shochiku Pictures in the past.
Because they participated in many films made by Keiko Matsumoto, and have a good reputation in Shochiku Films for many years, they are appreciated and trusted by Keiko Matsumoto.
Originally, for the two of them, being able to follow the superstar Keiko Matsumoto and join her personal team was also a good choice in their careers.
They all thought that even if the double actress couldn't make better works, at least she could maintain the state of being popular for ten years.
Then, as the main members of the firm, it is reasonable to say that they will be able to follow the glory for at least ten years, shaking their prestige, eating and drinking hot and so on.
It is even expected to earn an annual income of more than [-] million yen, stepping into the ranks of the junior rich.
But no one expected that in just a year or two, this popular movie queen would lose her popularity and be ruined by her own artistic pursuits, almost turning into an invisible person.
In particular, the unpredictable advertising supernatural event hit Keiko Matsumoto's financial situation the hardest.
It has actually forced the actress to consider selling the real estate under her name to maintain the operation of the firm.
Compared with the past, their income is only a fixed salary of [-] yen per month.
There is no extra income, it is flat as hell, and it is still precarious.
Such a situation is embarrassing.
Although the entertainment industry is no different than other industries, changing owners is more common.
With their qualifications in the industry, they can still find new jobs elsewhere.
Even if he left Keiko Matsumoto, he would not be considered a wolf-hearted dog, and would involve any moral issues.
But after all, this kind of personnel change is a passive and helpless move.
Moreover, every move of a well-known actor will always attract widespread attention from the society.
If Keiko Matsumoto had to close the office in the end, their career prospects would not be unaffected.
Someone must think that it was their dereliction of duty and mistakes that caused the failure of the employer's career.
Therefore, if they change jobs at this time, it will be greatly detrimental to their professional resumes.
Not only wasting at least ten years of time in vain, but most likely it will become a joke among colleagues.
From this perspective, the two of them also have no way out.
How could it be possible not to worry about Matsumoto Keiko, and not expect her to get out of the quagmire as soon as possible?
So after entering the office, neither Okamoto nor Watanabe gave Keiko Matsumoto a chance to speak at all.
In addition to roughly reporting their current almost meaningless work progress, they all began to talk clichés again, trying to persuade Matsumoto Keiko.
I hope she can abandon the pride of being an actress, let go of her figure, and go back to the performance route recognized by the audience.
"Matsumoto-san, maybe if you make another type of film that you are good at, you will become popular again? Before it is completely forgotten by movie fans, it is still possible to save your career."
"Yeah, as long as you play another role that is loved by the audience, advertisers will come to you again. Isn't this business just relying on fame and popularity? With fame and attention, everything is there.
"Even if you shoot anything casually, it's better to be on a variety show or something, it's better than just sitting and eating. If you really want to wait until the popularity is gone, then you will completely lose your commercial value, let alone your status in the film industry. Even if you want to go back, it’s impossible.” …
Needless to say, after this year's desertion, the two people's respect for Matsumoto Keiko has not been as good as before.
They chattered like two parrots for a long time.
Many words have even offended, beyond the boundaries of the proper identity.
It's just that Matsumoto Keiko is a very humane and reasonable person, and she has always felt guilty about the current bad situation.
She knows that living in Tokyo is not easy.
She also thought that it was her responsibility to give her subordinates a better future, but she just didn't do it.
So Keiko Matsumoto understood the eagerness of these two subordinates.
To put it bluntly, in one sentence, everyone is a grasshopper tied to a rope, which can neither run away from me nor you.
Therefore, even though these subordinates became more lazy and complained more and more in front of her day by day, she was not very angry.
Just like today, facing the rudeness and arrogance of the two subordinates, she only explained very gently.
"Sorry. I made you two worry. I have seriously thought about some of the suggestions of Okamoto-san and Watanabe-san recently. I admit that I made a mistake in my judgment before. This business is indeed not only flowers, applause and flashing lights, even if I I have already won the highest honor in the film industry, and I can’t rest easy. Any wrong step will ruin all the previous efforts. So I have decided that I will not bet my acting career willfully. I will listen to everyone carefully Opinions, and make some changes in due course.”
And her modesty and statement made both Akira Okamoto and Mitsuru Watanabe surprised.
"what did you say?"
"You... Is this a promise?"
None of them expected that this time's advice would actually have an effect.
Originally, I thought that Matsumoto Keiko would continue to be stubborn and put their interests aside.
"I promise."
Keiko Matsumoto confirmed again, and the order was very clear.
"Okamoto-san, please contact the TV station to see what variety shows are available recently. Also help me contact Shochiku Films to see if there are any new films that have suitable roles for me. The protagonist is of course the best, but if If there is any difficulty, the second heroine is also acceptable. As for the "Movie World" that director Yoji Yamada is preparing to shoot, I will personally reply to his invitation for the role, and I agree to give up the fight for the heroine, and I will play the female star in that movie with my true colors Sumie Kawashima. If this is the case, many people should be satisfied, right? We will have enough work in the short term, so we will be busy, right?"
"Hi Yi, thank you very much. With your positive attitude, it will be easier for us to do things. Please rest assured, I will try my best to arrange these things! Especially in terms of remuneration, I will try my best to fight for you to meet your status After all, you are also a movie queen, just like "Movie World", even if you play a supporting role, you should have 300 million yen? After all, we are helping Shochiku Yinghua to promote newcomers. Yamori. Up to the producer People, down to director Yamada and starring Atsumi Kiyoshi, they must be grateful for this, right?"
Akira Okamoto, who was in charge of external liaison, was extremely happy about this.
He immediately gave Matsumoto Keiko a big bow, and couldn't help but thank him several times.
The heart said, you are willing to go astray and find your way back.
As long as we have your attitude, there is a high probability that we will be able to get back the lost things.
However, what he didn't expect was that Keiko Matsumoto had a long-term vision and was not in a hurry.
Moreover, he completely let go of his arrogance beyond imagination, and even planned to ask for help.
"No, no, you don't have to be too deliberate about making money. Okamoto-san, for us now, opportunities are more important. If there are good performance opportunities and can increase public exposure, it doesn't matter if you lower the salary appropriately. Just Take "Movie World" as an example. It is a key theme film planned by Shochiku Films, almost like a textbook for film production. The probability of winning the award should not be low, and the film critics will give face. So it is not good for me to participate and ask for too high a price , This is a matter of principle in life. It is related to my personal style evaluation. I must not be careless. There is also the matter of going on variety shows. Don’t just look at the labor fee, first consider the social impact. Personally, I am more inclined to NHK TV station. Don’t you Will you forget that the new year is coming? You can negotiate with NHK like this, saying that I am willing to appear on the variety show in the stage for free, as long as they invite me to participate in the red and white song party. In addition, I will try the nepotism route myself, and this afternoon I will I have made an appointment with the wife of the director of the department store to have tea together, and I will try my luck to see if I can get some commercial acting work."
Akira Okamoto was surprised, and even said "Hi Yi, Hi Yi" all the way.
"Your decision is too wise, Matsumoto-san, I will do my best to fight for the opportunity of the Red and White Song Festival for you! I believe that it will not take long before you will become the most exposed and most popular movie star."
Keiko Matsumoto's change was immediate, which increased his expectations and respect.
However, compared with him, Watanabe Watanabe, who was in charge of the finance of Keiko Matsumoto's office, was even more surprised.
Because even in terms of the financial difficulties faced, Matsumoto Keiko has proposed a different solution.
"Watanabe-san, my apartment in Nishi Azabu has special meaning to me. After much deliberation, I still don't plan to sell it."
"Then... what about the operating expenses of the firm? At present, there are only less than ten million yen on the books. Even if you receive a new job now, there is a certain time risk in the operation of funds. And your father's company, doesn't it need at least 3000 million yen to maintain it? Could it be that you..."
"No, no, don't get me wrong. In fact, I was given a new proposal. Instead of selling real estate, there is a faster way to raise money."
"Ah? What is the solution?"
"Mortgage the real estate to the bank. Someone told me that if I do this, I should be able to get a loan of half the value of the property. So I decided to mortgage the real estate of Denenchofu where I live now, and then I can exchange It’s a lot of money. The house price in Denenchofu is about 110 million yen per square meter. My house covers an area of about 85 square meters including the courtyard, the courtyard is [-] square meters, and the house is about [-] square meters. It can be worth about six or seven hundred million. I wonder if Mr. Watanabe can contact the bank for help? If it can be done smoothly, we don’t need to worry about the operation of funds, right?”
"Hey, well, that's true. But if you borrow [-] to [-] million yen all at once, the repayment pressure is not small. Are you mentally prepared? I mean, if the business doesn't go well... "
"Please don't worry, I have enough psychological preparation. In fact, you don't need to worry about it, because the yen will continue to appreciate. In the long run, the land price in Tokyo will only rise at the same time, and it will become more and more hot. So even in the end If I really can’t repay the loan smoothly through work, it will be much more cost-effective if I raise some money to redeem the house and sell it in a few years. Now is really not a good time to sell real estate. It’s easy to sell directly , but it’s not cost-effective. And if I mortgage it to the bank, I can continue to live there with peace of mind, can’t I?”
Regarding Matsumoto Keiko's remarks, Watanabe was surprised and speechless.
He couldn't help responding with surprise, "Oh, you're right. It's true that I wasn't thoughtful enough. Your decision is more sensible, so I'll do what you said."
Respectful, Watanabe Mitsuru also bowed.
"Okay, please take care of the loan. I look forward to getting good news as soon as possible. Ah, by the way, you don't have to refuse the real estate agency I asked you to contact at the beginning. I will personally talk to the real estate agent of Qingye Real Estate Greetings."
Keiko Matsumoto showed a gentle smile again, "And Okamoto-san, I have nothing else to do, you can go to work too."
Just like that, the two subordinates all backed out of the door.
It can be said that it is one way when you come in, and another way when you go out.
The long-lost meekness and respect reappeared in them, and they looked like subordinates serving their employers again.
After going out, the two were still mumbling and thinking about each other.
"Hey, what happened to Matsumoto-san? Suddenly... oh, this was two or three months ago, who would dare to think?"
"Yeah, I didn't expect that as a woman, I know a little bit about financial affairs. Didn't Matsumoto-san open her own store? It's really unexpected, but she said it clearly and logically. She is very good at using financial means, which is comparable to Other female stars who only save money to buy jewelry are much better...Hey, she said just now that someone gave her advice, did you hear that too? Could it be that Matsumoto-san has been in contact with some financial people recently?"
"No. You know Matsumoto-san's temperament. He never likes to socialize. He is gentle on the outside and arrogant on the inside. He doesn't even want to act in TV dramas, and only associates with people in the film industry. How can he be with those who spend money every day? The people you deal with?"
"That's right. Being able to contact the wives of the directors of the department store is already very embarrassing for her."
"But no matter what, Matsumoto-san really wants to understand, and only such a star can have a better future."
"Haha, that's true, this is a very gratifying change. Our hard days should come to an end..."
"Hey, come on, Watanabe-san..."
A moment later, when the two walked into the office area, there was another flurry of panic.
"Hey, you slackers. Do you know how to drink coffee every day? Yamada, especially you kid, do you feel so at ease every day when you're just messing around and waiting to die? Bastard, Matsumoto-san paid you to do something ... cheer me up. Call a cab right now. Come out with me. There's a job..."
"Miss Ayumi, there is something I need to trouble you with. Please help me find out the contact information of the head of publicity at Mitsui Bank... Yes, that's the head who came when the advertising contract was terminated last year. I need to contact him..."
Looking at her perfect self everywhere in the mirror, her mood was as if the haze had lifted, as beautiful as the queen who got the magic mirror and answered "You are the most beautiful woman in the world".
Only at this time can she have the interest to look up to enjoy the beautiful view of the garden outside the floor-to-ceiling windows and the clear blue sky.
But on a sunny day, it is destined to be an extremely busy day.

Could it be that Matsumoto-san has been in contact with some financial people recently?"
"No. You know Matsumoto-san's temperament. He never likes to socialize. He is gentle on the outside and arrogant on the inside. He doesn't even want to act in TV dramas, and only associates with people in the film industry. How can he be with those who spend money every day? The people you deal with?"
"That's right. Being able to contact the wives of the directors of the department store is already very embarrassing for her."
"But no matter what, Matsumoto-san really wants to understand, and only such a star can have a better future."
"Haha, that's true, this is a very gratifying change. Our hard days should come to an end..."
"Hey, come on, Watanabe-san..."
A moment later, when the two walked into the office area, there was another flurry of panic.
"Hey, you slackers. Do you know how to drink coffee every day? Yamada, especially you kid, do you feel so at ease every day when you're just messing around and waiting to die? Bastard, Matsumoto-san paid you to do something ... cheer me up. Call a cab right now. Come out with me. There's a job..."
"Miss Ayumi, there is something I need to trouble you with. Please help me find out the contact information of the head of publicity at Mitsui Bank... Yes, that's the head who came when the advertising contract was terminated last year. I need to contact him..."
