Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 326 No need to watch movies to study
November fifteenth.

morning.

The black Chrysler nanny car specially used by Yunshang Entertainment to pick up and drop off artists parked outside Hanyu Hideki's door very early.

This was arranged by him informing Mijima Iijima.

Along with the nanny van, there were also staff from the film distribution department of Cloud Video.

The nanny van is used to take little goblins to work.

The staff of the distribution department went to discuss the distribution of "Cat Story".

It’s just the distribution rights for a movie.

It was naturally impossible for Hanyu Hideki to go and talk in person.

Don't say anything sincere or insincere.

He really ran over, it was too eye-catching to say the least.

Supervisor Masami Hata couldn't feel the sincerity, and he was probably really frightened.

While the goblin was still packing things in the house, Hanyu Hideki called the employees of the distribution department aside alone.

"I like that movie very much. After I contacted it, I made sure to get the distribution rights."

Hideki Hanyu explains to his employees seriously.

How can employees dare to express other opinions after being told such things by the big boss?

He nodded quickly and said, "Yes! President Hanyu."

"Don't be clever, don't deliberately put forward any harsh requirements, normal issuance conditions are enough, do you understand?"

Hanyu Hideki was worried that this guy would deliberately show off and make any additional demands, which would ruin the business for him.

By then, it would be useless to make billions of yen less and fire the other party.

"I understand, President." The employee nodded respectfully.

"Contact me as soon as you have the results."

"Yes, President."

……

Just when Hanyu Hideki was telling the employees, the little fairy who had packed his things had already taken the lead and got into the nanny car.

When Hideki Hanyu came back with his employees, the little fairy was curiously adjusting the automatic aviation seat, lowering the back of the seat and raising the back of the seat.

And said to Hanyu Hideki in an envious tone.

"I envy Teacher's artists so much that they have such a comfortable car to travel around."

Hanyu Hideki said, "It's just an ordinary mobility scooter. If you like it, I'll give it to you."

"Then forget it. If I'm the only one in the office, it won't be easy for me to be the president."

The little demon spirit said with pity.

It was obvious that she wanted it very much.

But because of the company's reasons, I couldn't accept it.

After all, her agency is not Yunshang Entertainment. If she does something special by herself, some people will definitely feel unbalanced and dislike her.

Maybe it’s not just artists.

"That's not easy. During the New Year, in the name of the club, I will send a few cars directly to Zhou Fangsang's Burning Production office. You will definitely be indispensable by then."

Hanyu Hideki thought to himself, since he is worried that a bowl of water will not be level, he should give him a few more bowls of water.

Relying on the little goblin to win the distribution rights of "Cat Story".

With the money I earn, I can buy a hundred nanny cars and I will be rich.

"Teacher, you are so kind."

The little fairy was very moved by Hanyu Hideki's words, and threw himself into Hanyu Hideki's arms regardless of the presence of outsiders.

If Hanyu Hideki hadn't stopped him, he might have kissed her on the spot.

Giving a car as a gift is certainly nothing to a little elf.

But in order to allow her to own a nanny car without any worries, Hanyu Hideki gave away several of them.

The little fairy was very moved.

"Teacher, I don't want to go to work anymore. After participating in the film recording, there will be awards season later, and I won't see the teacher for a long time."

"Okay, work hard first. Then when the contract is over, I can intercede with Zhou Fangsang and help you set up an independent firm. Then you will be relaxed."

"In order to be relaxed in the future, I will definitely work hard..."

Under Hanyu Hideki's persuasion, the little fairy got into the car and embarked on a work trip.

After seeing off Kyoko Koizumi, Hideki Hanyu did not stay at home, but got into the car driven by Marco and headed to Yunshang Entertainment.

As soon as he got in the car, the co-pilot Chie Ishihara began to report the latest itinerary to him.

Except for the activities that I originally decided to participate in.

The main thing is the task he just assigned, to meet the people on his list.

The Dentsu family and several second-generation ancestors of Honma are relatively easy to make appointments with.

Some said they could meet at any time, while others determined a time when they could meet.

On the other hand, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi is not in Tokyo for the time being due to work reasons.

The Seibu Group's secretary office stated that after Yoshiaki Tsutsumi returns to Tokyo, he will contact Hanyu Hideki as soon as possible.

Just when Ishihara Chie reported to Hanyu Hideki.

The vehicle has already entered Cloud Entertainment.

After Hideki Hanyu got off the bus, he took the elevator and went straight to the top of the building.

Knocking on the door and entering Eri Kitahara's office, I saw Asako Hirohashi, Shota Yoshioka, and Shinsuke Ito all there.

They were chatting about work and life.

I don’t know how long ago it was when I last saw the three of them together.

The club is getting bigger and bigger, and everyone is getting busier and busier.

The days when we can get together as often as we did in the beginning are becoming fewer and fewer.

As soon as Hanyu Hideki came in, Yoshioka Shota immediately asked, "Hanyu-san suddenly called me back. Is there something urgent?"

"Nothing urgent, just a little bit of other things."

"Oh, just say no on the phone and that's it. You don't even know how busy I am right now."

Yoshioka Shota said helplessly.

Storm Advertising, which was originally just an attempt to open up overseas markets, is now doing better and better.

Although Shota Yoshioka is not the president, he is busier than the president at Storm Advertising.

Because the original president was just a mascot sent by Dentsu.

The new president is about to be elected, and Shota Yoshioka is also a popular candidate.

Of course, other forces within Storm Advertising also want to arrange their own people.

But unfortunately, they couldn't find anyone who could convince the public.

The board of directors will be held early next year, and Shota Yoshioka will become the new president of Storm Advertising. It seems that there is no suspense.

After all, the entire board of directors wants to make the performance better and then run Storm Advertising to go public.

At this time, even if you are really selfish, you would not dare to arrange for someone to sit in a key position.

At this time, Ito Shinsuke next to him also complained, "Yeah, it would be nice if you just call me and tell me if there is anything small. I am also very busy. I don't have time to go home to be with Nana-chan recently."

Hearing this, Hideki Hanyu said angrily, "I still believe Yoshioka-san when he says he is busy. Didn't Ito-san run out of projects after filming Sparrow Turns into a Phoenix?"

Hearing this, Shinsuke Ito asked in surprise, "Don't Hanyu-san know?"

Hideki Hanyu said, "What should I know?"

"I am supervising the filming of two of the three TV series produced by Yunshang Satellite TV. The satellite channel will be launched after the year. In order to catch up with the progress, I haven't been home for several days?"

"Huh? Ito-san is filming a TV series for Yunshang Satellite TV. I spent a whole day there yesterday, but I didn't see Ito-san."

"Because both crews are on location, apart from me, Asako-san also sent Oki Kurokawa. It's a pity that our two best film supervisors are reduced to filming TV..."

Shinsuke Ito hasn't finished speaking yet.

Feeling the unkind look in Hirohashi Asako's eyes, he quickly swallowed the second half of the sentence.

And he changed his words in the name of haha, "Well... for the development of satellite TV on the cloud, it is appropriate for us to contribute a little bit."

Seeing that Ito Shinsuke was so out of shape, Hirohashi Asako said helplessly.

"Okay, you two, stop complaining. Hanyu-san will definitely not call you back for no reason. Let's listen to what he has to say first."

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I recently found a way to make a little fortune for you."

Hanyu Hideki began to introduce what he and Mrs. Tanaka were going to do, "The Tanaka family and I are going to Europe..."

When Hideki Hanyu finished his brief introduction, several people understood what Hideki Hanyu wanted to do.

"Hanyu-san originally planned to bring us together to make a fortune. It would have been better if we had told him earlier. But can we really make money by doing this?"

Shinsuke Ito asked curiously. After all, he didn't know anything about the stock market.

"What's there to worry about? Do you think Hanyu-san will lie to you?"

Yoshioka Shota trusted Hanyu Hideki very much, "Tell me, how much do you want us to invest?"

"Excluding the part I have reserved for Dentsu and Honma, based on the exchange rate, there is still an investment share of 21 billion yen. You can allocate it yourself. If the funds are not enough, I can help cushion it first."

It was only a few billion yen. Even if the three of them had no money, Hanyu Hideki would have no problem paying in advance.

He just found an excuse to bring his friends to make money.

"What's so easy to share? Let's share it equally. Just [-] million yen per person."

Hirohashi Asako made an opinion.

Hearing this, the other two people immediately agreed, "Just listen to Asako-san."

"Okay, then do you plan to invest in your own name, or set up a fund and put it together?"

Hideki Hanyu asked.

"What do you think, Hanyu-san?" Hirohashi Asako asked.

The three of them were not familiar with this aspect before, so it would be better to consult Hanyu Hideki.

"If you don't want to expose your identity, it's best to register an offshore company." Hanyu Hideki suggested.

"Offshore company?" Asako Hirohashi was not very clear about this.

"If you are willing, I will arrange for someone from Hanyu Investment to register for you." Hanyu Hideki said.

"Then please leave it to Hanyu-san." Asako Hirohashi and the others said.

After talking about making money, Shinsuke Ito and Shota Yoshioka, who were really busy, said goodbye and left.

Only Hideki Hanyu and Asako Hirohashi were left in the office.

"Hanyu-san suddenly arranged for someone to discuss movie distribution this morning. Did you watch a movie?"

Hirohashi Asako asked about it.

"I heard from Kyoko Koizumi about a movie with pets as the protagonists. I felt it had great box office potential. I knew they were looking for a distributor, so I was ready to negotiate and give it a try."

"Pet as the protagonist?" Asako Hirohashi looked confused.

Nowadays, this kind of movie has not become popular in Neon, so it is normal for Asako Hirohashi not to know about it.

"That's it..." Hanyu Hideki briefly introduced the genre of "Cat Story".

After hearing this, Asako Hirohashi nodded and said, "Will this genre be a hit?"

"I think so. It will be released in July during the summer. As a family movie, it should be able to attract children."

Hanyu Hideki can only say this.

After all, it’s impossible for him to brag right now that “Cat Story” can hit tens of billions in box office.

Hearing this, Hirohashi Asako immediately said with interest.

"Then we can prepare similar scripts in advance. After all, if this new type of movie can be successful, it will definitely cause a wave of excitement."

Hideki Hanyu did not expect that before the distribution rights were negotiated, Asako Hirohashi had already made a plan to follow suit.

But think about it after "Cat Story".

The box office of "Hachiko Monogatari" was 54 billion, and the box office of "I Want to Meet Marilyn" was more than 30 billion.

Hirohashi Asako has no problem with her sense of smell.

Subsequent pet-type movies have indeed been popular for some time.

"No problem. I will take the time to write two script outlines for Yunying Animation. If it can be completed, we will arrange filming as soon as possible."

The script outlines that Hideki Hanyu mentioned were of course "The Tale of Hachiko" and "I Want to Meet Marilyn".

After all, he was only familiar with these two pet movies.

"That's great. With Hanyu-san taking action, I think the pet movie will definitely be successful."

For Hanyu Hideki, Hirohashi Asako has a hundred trusts.

After all, so far, the projects initiated by Hanyu Hideki have never failed.

"Okay, Asako-san, please stop praising me."

Hideki Hanyu stood up and said, "I have a literary event to attend in the afternoon, and I have to prepare for it, so I'll leave first."

"Hanyu-san, wait a moment, I have something else I want to discuss with Hanyu-san."

After hearing what Hirohashi Asako said, Hanyu Hideki started doing it again.

"What's the matter? Is there any activity for me to participate in? I really don't have time recently."

Hideki Hanyu hurriedly got vaccinated.

Hirohashi Asako shook his head, "That's not true, it's just that I've been thinking recently about whether to choose a subsidiary to go public."

Hideki Hanyu is not surprised by Asako Hirohashi’s idea of ​​going public.

After the yen began to appreciate, the stock market did well.

If a club needs funds for development, going public is undoubtedly the best choice.

After all, slowly making money will not make money as quickly as the stock market.

Hanyu Hideki did not refuse in a hurry, but asked, "Asako-san, do you have any ideas?" "I think among the several sub-clubs, Crescent Cinema is the most suitable for listing."

"Why?" Hanyu Hideki continued to ask.

“When we were in the cinema chain business, Hanyu-san suggested that when it came to directly operating movie theaters, we should not do franchising, but buy the movie theaters and the land together.

When Crescent Cinema Line was doing its financial settlement this year, I discovered that Crescent Cinema Line's profits over the past two years were not as much as the land value appreciation.

So I want the theater chain to go public and obtain funds to continue to expand the scale of directly operated theaters. "

After listening to Hirohashi Asako's words, Hanyu Hideki said with emotion.

"Asako-san, why do I think you don't want to develop the Crescent Cinema Line, but want to speculate on land?"

I have to say that Hirohashi Asako made a good plan indeed.

Although the neon movie market will continue to slump in the future.

Theater chains can't make much money either.

But if Crescent Cinema Chain can use the movie theater to expand the size of the land in its hands, it can be regarded as land speculation in disguise.

Anyway, as long as there is enough land, land prices will continue to rise.

Even if the theater chain is slightly less profitable, it can still tell a story in the stock market.

Asako Hirohashi said without hesitation, "We can develop Crescent Cinema and make money from the land, so why not?"

"I think Asako-san's idea is very good. Now that you have decided, don't hesitate to find a professional agency to start preparations before listing."

Hideki Hanyu is not a sloppy person.

He has nothing to hesitate about when it comes to making money.

But if you want to go public, you can’t just talk about it.

For example, there are many rigid conditions for listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Especially since the Mothers market has not yet been established and there are only the first and second parts, it is equivalent to the first and second boards in the country.

Even on the second section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, which has relatively loose conditions, Crescent Cinemas cannot meet many of the listing conditions.

Apart from anything else, Crescent Cinema Line is not satisfied with the size of the number of shareholders alone.

Of course, these conditions can actually be easily solved with the help of professional organizations.

And if that doesn't work, you can also list on the Osaka Exchange, which has more relaxed conditions.

But for Osaka, Hanyu Hideki has a big concern.

That is during the bubble period, the securities market in Kansai was extremely controlled by the Yakuza.

He really didn't want to deal with these people unless necessary.

"Okay, I will start as soon as possible after communicating with Yoshioka-san and Ito-san about this matter."

"Then thank you for your hard work, Asako-san..."

After discussing with Asako Hirohashi about the listing of Crescent Cinema, Hideki Hanyu left.

On the way to leave Yunshang Entertainment.

Hideki Hanyu is still thinking about going public.

But what he was thinking about was not cloud entertainment.

After all, most clubs in the neon entertainment industry have not chosen to go public.

He was thinking about it.

Are any of the other clubs he controls suitable for listing?

After all, the stock market will prosper next, and you can make a fortune.

Culture on the cloud is naturally impossible.

This club holds the copyright of all his works and is very important to him.

What's more, it also uses it to control Elf Entertainment.

As for Elf Entertainment, it is even less likely to go public.

Elf Entertainment's profitability is very good.

Unlike the cinema business, neon is destined to be a sunset industry. If you don’t make money during the bubble period, there will be no other opportunities at all.

After much deliberation, he felt that it would be suitable to have an independent club.

That's Game Base Publishing.

That is, the publishing house that controls the "Game Base" magazine.

This club has now not only achieved a leading position in the field of neon game magazines.

The Americas division is also the gaming magazine with the largest market share.

It is also the organizer of the "Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Exhibition".

It is also one of the organizers of America's "E3" exhibition.

Nowadays, it has extended its development in Europe, Asia, and other places in the world where video games are available.

This kind of publishing house is perfect for "telling stories" in the stock market.

In addition to being able to go public and make money.

Game Base also does need funding to promote further development.

After all, the next dozen years will be the golden age of video games.

Game Base, which has already taken its first successful step, has absolutely no problem seizing the opportunity to become the most authoritative gaming magazine in the world.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki felt that he should communicate with Kitahara Eri who was far away in South Asia.

Put the plan to launch Game Base on the agenda.

After thinking about this matter.

Hideki Hanyu suddenly discovered that there were quite a few companies that he would be involved in going public next.

When it was first established, it was Cloud Satellite TV that was rushing to be listed on the market.

Yanai Tadashi, in order to allow Uniqlo to develop rapidly, is also seeking to take it public.

There is also Storm Advertising. So many people have invested money, not to slowly develop the market.

The ones that have been considered recently include Aiyi International prepared by Mrs. Tanaka, Cloud Entertainment’s Crescent Cinema Line, and Game Base Publishing House.

As for the future.

Elf Vision, EA, and Cisco, which he invested in America, will definitely be listed.

How to describe this feeling.

Just like a flower carefully cultivated, it will eventually bear fruit.

……

Today Hideki Hanyu will participate in a literary event.

In fact, it has something to do with the entertainment industry.

Because the theme of this event is about film and television adaptations of literary works.

There are discussions on successful adaptations, as well as possible promotion of adaptations through social networking with film festivals.

Several of Hanyu Hideki's works have been turned into movies, and their box office performance has been quite successful.

It is natural to be invited.

Of course, his identity as the boss of Yunshang Entertainment actually attracts more attention from everyone.

Nothing else, because the neon movie market is too sluggish.

There are too many writers who want to change their works.

After all, as long as the work is adapted.

No matter how it performs at the box office, it can help the original work increase sales.

For writers, this is the most direct income.

Writers also need to eat, right?

More monks and less flesh.

Naturally, everyone pays more attention to people who can bring resources.

Therefore, when Hideki Hanyu arrived at the hotel where the event was held, he immediately became the focus of the scene.

Familiar and unfamiliar people all came up to have a relationship with him.

Among them are not only writers in the circle.

There are also representatives from film companies in the industry.

After dealing with it for a long time, Hanyu Hideki finally got rid of many "enthusiastic" colleagues.

Worried about being surrounded again, Hanyu Hideki simply hid on the balcony of the hall where the event was held and "catted".

Prepare to take some time off.

Who would have thought that as soon as he hid in, he heard someone calling him from behind.

"It's really hard to say hello to Hanyu-san. There were too many people just now and I couldn't squeeze in. Now there are fewer people and I almost can't find it."

Hanyu Hideki turned around and found that he knew the person who spoke.

Mieko Harada.

The last time Hideki Hanyu met Mieko Harada was at a reception for Dentsu’s related parties last year.

The other party was brought there by Kadokawa Haruki.

"Harada-san, good afternoon, I didn't expect to see you here."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he looked behind Mieko Harada.

He was not familiar with Mieko Harada.

Yunshang Entertainment and Mieko Harada have never collaborated on a movie.

As for whether there were advertisements, he was even less clear.

After all, he had long since stopped caring about advertising production.

So he didn't know why Mieko Harada came to him.

I want to see if Kadokawa Haruki is here too.

After all, Kadokawa Haruki, as the owner of Kadokawa Bookstore and Kadokawa Pictures, is very suitable to participate in today's occasion.

"What are Hanyu-san looking for?" Mieko Harada asked curiously.

"I want to know if President Kadokawa is here." Hanyu Hideki answered truthfully.

Mieko Harada heard this and deliberately made an angry expression.

"Why did I come to say hello to Hanyu-san? Hanyu-san would think that President Kadokawa is here, and I have nothing to do with him."

"Really? That was because I misunderstood Harada-san, and I apologize to Harada-san for that."

Hanyu Hideki's apology sounded very insincere.

But Mieko Harada didn't care. She raised the goblet she was holding and swirled the champagne in the glass.

"I came to see Hanyu-san. I just wanted to have a drink with Hanyu-san."

Today's event is held in the form of a cocktail reception.

However, Hanyu Hideki spread his empty hands in expression.

"Then Harada-san is going to be disappointed, I didn't get the wine."

However, the wine glass in Harada Mieko's hand shook her.

But Hanyu Hideki noticed how the other party was dressed today.

Her black hair was tied up on top of her head, and she was wearing a burgundy dress and a pair of high heels.

Her appearance, which was originally "pure and indifferent", looks particularly charming and mature under the makeup, hair and clothes.

Especially the design of the chest of the red dress makes Harada Mieko, who is already very "capable", even more "majestic".

This was also the reason why Hideki Hanyu's attention was drawn to the other party's shaking of the wine glass.

After all, there are more than just goblets swaying with the arm.

This scenery also reminded Hanyu Hideki of a magazine he had read before.

That is "an-an" magazine, which likes to make rankings.

"an-an" not long ago selected a ranking list of neon female stars with the most beautiful breasts.

This Mieko Harada ranks first.

In a few years, this list will be dominated by another domestically familiar neon actress, Chiko Aoyama.

However, observing Mieko Harada up close at this time, Hideki Hanyu felt that the ranking of "an-an" was quite convincing.

Not only is it big enough, but its shape is perfect.

Judging from the shape of the other party's skirt, it might be better to go into battle in a vacuum.

Ok……

When "The Man on Fire" is released, he must do some research to see if his guess is true.

If I remember correctly, Mieko Harada's performance in this movie was quite large.

Hanyu Hideki said he didn't get any wine, but Harada Mieko said, "How about I help Hanyu-san get a drink?"

Hideki Hanyu waved his hand, "No need, I don't like drinking at such events."

He originally thought that if he said this, Mieko Harada would give up.

Who would have thought that the other party would say something that Hanyu Hideki didn't expect at all.

"I've been staying at this hotel recently. If I can't drink at the event, how about I go to my room?"

Watching Harada Mieko gently shake the wine glass in her hand.

Listening to the other party's ambiguous words, it seemed like there was a profound invitation.

Hanyu Hideki's first reaction.

Just to study whether there is a vacuum or something, it seems like there is no need to go to the movies.

　I feel a little uncomfortable, that's all.
