Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 358 Three little ones each with their own ideas
"It's not work? Did something happen at home?"

Hanyu Hideki unconsciously wondered if something had happened to Nakamori Akina's family again.

Especially that unreliable father.

But the last time I inquired about the other party, he said that after divorcing Nakamori Akina's mother, she lived with that mistress.

Completely cut off contact with Akina Nakamori.

As for other family members, apart from giving her mother some living expenses every month, Akina Nakamori no longer cares about the others.

The studio that was originally affiliated with Yunshang Entertainment had already been disbanded for Akina Nakamori.

It's just that the bar that Akina Nakamori invested in was completely given away.

Nowadays, the relationship between Nakamori Akina and other family members is not like in her previous life, where they never interacted with each other until death.

"It's Mingsui. She graduated from high school this year. Her academic performance is not good, and her deviation value is not enough to go to college. Her mother wants her to go to a junior college, but she is unwilling."

As soon as Nakamori Akina's answer came out, Hanyu Hideki suddenly remembered some memories from his past life.

Then asked directly, "Does your sister want to enter the entertainment industry?"

"Um……!?"

Hanyu Hideki's words surprised and confused Nakamori Akina.

"How did Hanyu-kun know?"

"Of course I guessed it. With a celebrity sister like you, it's normal for her to want to enter the entertainment industry."

Hideki Hanyu explained.

He can't say that your sister did this in her previous life.

In the time and space of the previous life, when Nakamori Akiho entered the entertainment industry, she helped her sister as an older sister.

But unfortunately, Nakamori Akiho's own talent was too poor, and the agency she signed with was too stretched.

In the entertainment industry, she holds the title of Nakamori Akina's younger sister and has achieved nothing.

Because he has never been able to become popular, coupled with the temptation of the firm.

In the end, Nakamori Akiho ignored her sister's feelings and, in order to become famous, not only shot a large-scale photo album, but also shot a video that mainly featured stripping.

And for the sake of sales, he constantly emphasized the relationship with his sister, which eventually led to the two sisters turning against each other and the relationship worsened.

"But I don't want her to enter the entertainment industry." Nakamori Akina said.

"Why?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"I think she has no talent and it will be difficult for her to achieve success as an artist. Yesterday I called her to persuade her to go to a junior college, but she even quarreled with me."

Speaking of her sister, Akina Nakamori was a little angry.

After hearing this, Hideki Hanyu smiled softly and asked, "Do you think you can stop her?"

Nakamori Akina shook her head, "She will definitely not listen to me."

"That's right. Since you can't stop it, it's better to take what may happen and take it into your own hands."

Hearing this, Akina Nakamori raised her head and looked at her lover, "You mean to let her enter the entertainment industry, but she really..."

Akina Nakamori still seems to want to say that her sister is really not the material to be an artist.

But at the same time, she felt that denying her sister in front of Hanyu Hideki seemed a bit mean.

So I couldn't say it out loud.

“As an artist, talent is of course important, but that means wanting to be the top artist like you.

But if you just want to make a living in the entertainment industry and become a second- or third-tier artist, that's not an easy thing. "

Hanyu Hideki said nonchalantly.

Whether it's the current era or the era before he traveled through time.

The existence of so-called resource coffee is indispensable.

Second-generation people with money, connections, and backgrounds can easily obtain resources that ordinary artists can't even think of or have to pay a huge price to obtain.

Even if the audience no longer likes these people, they still have to be force-fed by capital.

Of course he can do this kind of thing.

After all, she is Nakamori Akina's sister, even if there is no relationship between them.

For the sake of Akina Nakamori, Yunshang Entertainment will give some resources to Akina Nakamori.

This is the unspoken rule in the circle, no one will say anything.

Nakamori Akina understood what Hanyu Hideki meant.

Somewhat embarrassedly, he said, "Are you going to sign Mingsui to Yunshang Entertainment? Will this be unfair to others?"

Akina Nakamori knows.

Because of the abundant artistic resources on the cloud, artists who can successfully sign a contract will have no shortage of opportunities to work and become famous.

Therefore, there is no one who is not interested in joining Yunshang Entertainment among those who are ambitious in their careers, both inside and outside the industry.

But last year, Cloud Entertainment stopped recruiting artists.

As a result, everyone has no way to enter the cloud.

Many people tried to recommend people through connections, but they were all rejected.

If Nakamori Akiho is recruited at this time, there will probably be a lot of people talking about gossip.

Hearing this, Hideki Hanyu explained.

"Of course we have to sign. If we don't sign, Mingsui will still enter the entertainment industry and join other agencies. Do you think they will take advantage of Mingsui's relationship with you to make a fuss.

If Mingsui never becomes popular, and they try to trick Mingsui into shooting some large-scale works, it will definitely have an impact on your image.

We only need to invest a little resources to nip this bad possibility in the bud, which is actually very cost-effective. "

Although Hanyu Hideki's explanation always feels like some nonsense.

But Nakamori Akina didn't know how to refute.

After all, what Hanyu Hideki said is very likely to happen.

However, in Nakamori Akina's mind, she still felt a little awkward.

She whispered, "But I always feel that this is not good."

Hearing this, Hanyu Hideki gently used his arms to hug Nakamori Akina tightly.

Then he said in a gentle tone.

"Don't think so much. Mingsui is your sister, so it's only natural for me to help her."

"It's so kind of you……"

Nakamori Akina put her arms around Hanyu Hideki's neck, her eyes were full of love, and her breath was like a blue.

"I'm so good, how are you going to repay me?"

"Then if we wait until night..."

"At night? Why wait until night?"

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, with Nakamori Akina's cooing voice, he picked her up by the waist and walked directly towards the bedroom upstairs.

……

Clothes scattered along the way.

The scene goes to the bedroom on the second floor.

Hideki Hanyu and Akina Nakamori are experiencing tenderness after the "Little Farewell Reunion and Passionate Fighting".

"Akina, please contact Mingsui as soon as possible and tell her about the signing. Let her finish the second half of the semester with peace of mind. Don't just find a firm and sign the contract in a hurry."

"Well...I listen to you in everything."

After Akina Nakamori agreed obediently, she asked again, "Then how are you going to arrange her development? She doesn't have any singing talent."

"Yunshang Arts and Cloud Satellite TV are preparing to hold a recruitment draft. They plan to record the participation process of popular contestants starting from the regional selection, so that the contestants can accumulate a certain degree of popularity before they make their debut.

I will talk to Iijima-san later and arrange for a teacher to train Akiho and set her character in advance.

In this way, even if your singing talent is poor, you can still gain some popularity in the show.

After she makes her debut, she can arrange to become an actress and accept some commercials, so she can still make money.

And being managed by the firm from the beginning will not let her go astray. "

I heard Hideki Hanyu thinking so much.

Nakamori Akina can't help but feel a touch of sweetness and touchingness.

After all, in her opinion, Hanyu Hideki and his sister were not familiar with each other.

The reason why I did this was because of her.

"Hanyu-kun, I love you..."

Nakamori Akina was moved and stood up again, taking the initiative to attack Hanyu Hideki.

Facing a beauty who overestimates her abilities, Hideki Hanyu would not be polite, but would actively challenge her.

then……

Kids mode is on.

……

March [-]st.

Hideki Hanyu, who had not driven for a long time, drove Akina Nakamori to Yunshang Entertainment in his Ferrari.

Then Akina Nakamori went to work, and he went to find Asako Hirohashi.

I have been "traveling" in Hong Kong for so long, acquiring theater chains and cooperating with Shaw Brothers.

When I come back and take a short rest, I always have to talk to Asako Hirohashi.

By the way, let me know about the work arrangements of Cloud Entertainment this year.

But when he arrived outside Asako Hirohashi's office, before he could go in, he saw Asako Hirohashi sending a guest out.

And it’s an acquaintance, Haruko Naito.

"Ms. Naito, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Hanyu Hideki greeted.

“This is the first time I have seen President Hanyu in this building since Naito Securities confirmed its cooperation with Yunshang Entertainment.

For more than half a month, I even feel that I am more like a member of Yunshang Entertainment than President Hanyu. "

Facing Haruko Naito, who was obviously joking.Hanyu Hideki spread his hands and said, "I don't like working. Besides, with Asako-san helping me, I have nothing to worry about."

Hearing this, Asako Hirohashi couldn't help but roll his eyes at Hideki Hanyu.

"Hanyu-san, don't act like you haven't done anything. What you did in Xiangjiang cannot be done by anyone else."

Hearing this, Hanyu Hideki wanted to say proudly that it was really impossible for ordinary men to rack up a lot of romantic debts in a short period of time.

Of course, since he wasn't confused yet, he couldn't really say it.

He also knew that Hirohashi Asako was referring to the Asian cinema chain.

He waved his hand and said modestly, "It's just money, nothing difficult."

After saying that, he looked at Naito Haruko again.

"Isn't Miss Naito going back to America to study?"

Naito Haruko replied, "The school has already asked for leave. After I finish helping my uncle with the preliminary work of Crescent Cinema, I will go back to continue classes."

"So that's it. Then I won't disturb Miss Naito's work and take my leave."

He said and looked at Asako Hirohashi, "Asako-san, I'll go in first and wait for you."

Hideki Hanyu walked into Asako Hirohashi's office amidst Haruko Naito's farewells.

Sitting on the sofa waiting for guests, I saw a few latest newspapers and periodicals in front of me, so I picked them up and flipped through them.

Social news is nothing interesting.

Except for the usual political news.

The neon economy is booming, and the Nikkei Index has broken new highs.

Or how about women's rights being protected.

And as time enters March, the nomination list for the International Andersen Award will be announced soon.

The media began to speculate on whether he would be a finalist and whether he would run with him again.

At this time of year, the public opinion surrounding whether he will be nominated and win has almost become a fixed program.

After reading these news, he turned to reports related to the entertainment industry.

The headline on the front page was news about the popular girl group "Genki Girls".

It has nothing to do with work.

Some media took photos of the three little ones on vacation in Los Angeles.

Judging from the angle of the photo and the shape of the three little ones, 90.00% is the announcement sent to the media by Yunshang Entertainment.

As a top idol, even if you are on vacation, your exposure cannot be reduced.

Three girls who are about to enter their fifth year of debut.

Even under the impact of many younger generations, it was not as strong as it was during its most glorious period, and its popularity began to gradually decline.

But in the field of combination, it is still the most influential entity in Asia.

In the photo, despite their appearance and temperament, the three girls are completely different from a few years ago.

But that smile was still bright from the heart.

This made Hideki Hanyu quite pleased.

After all, in his memory, it was time for Okada Yukiko to commit suicide by jumping off the building in more than a month.

But in today's time and space, tragedy is obviously impossible to happen.

As the younger sister of the group, Yukiko is not only loved by fans, but also taken care of by her two older sisters.

In addition, Yunshang Entertainment has a huge business and has many businesses that can generate income. It is not the kind of club that relies on squeezing artists to survive.

Therefore, although the private life of artists is strictly managed, the work arrangements are still humane.

In her previous life, when Okada Yukiko was at her busiest at Sun Music, she didn't even have time to call her family, and she even had to attend shows while wearing a bottle.

But while I am having fun on the cloud, I still have time to go on vacation to America.

Speaking of which, these three girls are not the kind of ambitious people.

When negotiating for contract renewal last year, the three of them signed a nine-year contract with Yunshang Entertainment in one fell swoop.

Yunshang Entertainment also asked the three of them whether they would like to set up an independent record label like Nakamori Akina.

But after discussing with each other, the three girls refused.

Perhaps they felt that the group could not continue forever.

Or maybe they have other ideas about their careers.

Just then, the office door was pushed open.

Asako Hirohashi, who sent Haruko Naito away, is back.

She saw Hanyu Hideki reading the report on Genki Girls.

Then he asked, "Hanyu-san hasn't seen them for a while, right?"

Hideki Hanyu said, "Yes, I haven't seen him since the concert on Yunshang Satellite TV."

"Since they moved out of my house, I actually see them less."

Hirohashi Asako said with emotion.

In her opinion, the development of Yunshang Animation to the current comprehensive group Yunshang Entertainment is inseparable from these three little girls.

After all, just to sign these three girls, she and Hideki Hanyu decided to seek investment from Yukio Tanaka and established Yunshang Entertainment.

Speaking of this, Hirohashi Asako seemed to remember something and said to Hanyu Hideki.

"After signing the contract last year, I actually took the opportunity to chat with them and asked them what they thought about the future."

Hearing this, Hideki Hanyu suddenly became interested, "How did they answer?"

Hirohashi Asako said, "Minako is the most mature child and has the most ideas about music. She also joked that if the group disbands one day, she will sing rock music."

"This little girl looks so gentle and quiet, but she actually wants to sing rock music. I really didn't expect her."

Hanyu Hideki said with a smile.

But based on his understanding of Honda Minako, the little girl seemed to be joking, but most likely she was telling the truth through joking.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that either."

Hirohashi Asako echoed and continued, "Minamino Yoko doesn't want to give up singing, but she seems to be very interested in acting and is still hesitating."

"As for Okada Yukiko..."

Mentioning the youngest Okada Yukiko, Hirohashi Asako showed a gentle smile, as if she remembered something interesting.

"Little Confused doesn't know what she's going to do yet, but she was the most excited when she heard Minako say that the group would be disbanded. She said that the group would never disband, and if it disbanded, she would retire. She is a very affectionate child."

Hearing this, Hanyu Hideki sighed.

"There is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever. The group may not disband, but the children are destined to grow up and have their own lives."

"Yes, compared to Akina-chan, who has been on the rise, Genki Girls' popularity has obviously declined. Their last single was almost snatched away from the No. [-] position on the Oricon chart by Kitty Club. It's time to consider their future after their solo career. Planned.”

Hearing Asako Hirohashi mention the Kitten Club, Hideki Hanyu asked quickly.

"How is the mediation between Fuji TV and TBS regarding the Kitty Club issue going?"

Hirohashi Asako replied, "We talked a few times and everything is fine. Sony Entertainment also helped during this process."

"Sony Entertainment?" Hanyu Hideki wondered why Sony was involved.

“Several of the girls arranged by Sony Entertainment to join the Kitten Club have grown in popularity very quickly, especially one named Sonoko Kawai, who just led the small team and helped the Kitten Club win its seventh championship on the Oricon list this year.

In this case, Sony naturally did not want the conflicts between the two TV stations to affect the development of its own artists, so it also intervened. "

"So it is."

Hanyu Hideki thought to himself that history really turned a corner and then turned back again.

The position of the top three that originally belonged to Sonoko Kawai was snatched away by Shizuka Kudo, but the other party came back halfway.

The other party has the backing of Sony Entertainment, so even if it develops a little late, it can catch up again.

After learning about the Kitty Club, Hideki Hanyu remembered another thing, related to Xiangjiang.

"Asako-san, when I was in Xiangjiang, I asked Shaw Brothers Pictures to introduce several action directors to Neon and join the Armor Warrior crew. How is the work going?"

"This involves the specific operation of the crew. Hanyu-san would be better off going to Cloud Movies to ask the person in charge of the special photography department."

Hirohashi Asako said helplessly, "Hanyu-san wouldn't think that I still have time to go to the crew to inspect it."

Hearing this, Hideki Hanyu knew that he had asked the wrong person.

Hirohashi Asako is now in charge of the entire Cloud Entertainment business.

If you are too busy with big things, how can you go to the front line in person?

"Okay, then I'll go to the set and see for myself when I have time."

However, regarding action guidance, he still had an idea that he needed to discuss with Asako Hirohashi.

"Asako-san, I think we can't always borrow action guidance. I intend to cooperate with Xiangjiang to jointly establish an action and stunt training base. The location will be in Xiangjiang first. I need Asako-san to find a suitable person in charge."

In Hanyu Hideki's view, this training base is a precautionary measure.

It’s not just about cultivating talents for cloud entertainment.

We must also absorb old technologies, then introduce new ones, and make continuous progress to become a place that can export talents to the outside world.

After all, Xiangjiang's stream of talents and all kinds of talents, not only do they not want to make progress, but they will run out of talent in the next ten years.

In later generations, the Chinese action films that once dominated the world had to hire martial arts instructors from South Korea and Hollywood.

It is enough to prove that the "such-and-such class" model is not feasible, and talents must be cultivated in a systematic and scientific way.

"This is a good idea. I will find a suitable person as soon as possible."

Hirohashi Asako asked Hanyu Hideki again, "Does Hanyu-san have anything else to say?"

"Still..., forget it, I'm fine."

Hideki Hanyu did remember one thing.

That was his plan to acquire a company in America.

It was originally planned to be acquired by Yunshang Entertainment.

But after thinking about it, I felt it was inappropriate.

　The notebook that has been with me for many years feels like it can no longer hold on. I can’t even write code properly. I spent a day repairing it and it’s useless. It’s numb.
