Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 565 Butterfly Effect, Confronting Murdoch
"Why do Hanyu-san think so? The European media praises you so much, and the neon media follows suit. It's normal for everyone to give you some titles in public opinion. Didn't you have many titles before?"

Faced with Hanyu Hideki's sensitive reaction, Ito Shinsuke couldn't understand it.

Not only Shinsuke Ito, but Asako Hirohashi also felt that Hideki Hanyu had overreacted.

If ordinary writers are praised in this way, it is too late to feel happy, so how can they feel that there is something wrong with it.

Hideki Hanyu can understand the attitudes of the two.

Because the neon people of this period really had an unprecedented sense of blind arrogance in their hearts.

It seems that because of the prosperity of the economy, everything about them has also become stronger.

While showing off his own strength, he wants others to know how powerful he is.

On the other hand, I am fragile and sensitive, afraid of being looked down upon by others, and long for recognition from the world.

This kind of twisted outlook, which is influenced by the national character and the times, is inevitable even for the so-called "upper class" people, let alone Asako Hirohashi and Shinsuke Ito.

Otherwise, how could Akio Morita write a book like "Neon Can Say No".

How can I put it this way, only when the bubble bursts and disappears for ten years, and these cruel realities are slapped on the face like ice water, can these people wake up.

Of course, he would never say these things.

He wouldn't explain anything to the two of them.

Let’s not talk about the outside world, let’s talk about himself first.

If he really had this qualification, he would just accept it openly.

But the problem is, he still knows how much he weighs.

The success of a novel is still a children's novel that draws on creativity and contains private goods. Even if it is really recognized by the European media, he does not think he can be called a literary giant in Neon.

Take a look at who can be called a literary giant in the past?
Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Soseki Natsume, Yukio Mishima, Osamu Dazai, Yasunari Kawabata...

Hanyu Hideki is not so arrogant as to think that his works that are full of "copper smell" can compare with these people.

There is a saying that the higher you stand, the harder you fall.

If you want to take it, you must first give it.

He has now tried his best to fade out of the public eye. The last time he took advantage of the book fan suicide incident, he permanently canceled the book signing event and directly disbanded the book fan club.

I just want to make money in a low-key way and be a capitalist with peace of mind.

Therefore, when he himself does not praise himself.

No matter if someone else did it intentionally.

This is still true of public opinion.

Even Hanyu Hideki didn't think it was a good thing.

Therefore, he directly said to Asako Hirohashi, "Asako-san, please contact the group's public relations department and immediately suppress the public opinion that praises me."

"Hanyu-san..." Asako Hirohashi seemed to want to say something else.

However, Hanyu Hideki raised his hand and interrupted, "Asako-san, this is my business, just trust me."

"Okay, I'll go now."

Seeing that Hanyu Hideki's attitude was so serious, Hirohashi Asako immediately made a call.
-
Tokyo, in Shunichi Tokura's office.

Not long after Asako Hirohashi arranged for the public relations department of Yunshang Entertainment to suppress public opinion.

Junichi Mizukura received a call, hung up immediately after hearing it, and then cursed with some annoyance.

"Baga! How could that bastard react so quickly!"

On the sofa on the other side, Honma, who was a female idol contracted by Mizukura Junichi Agency, was sitting next to her. He was playing with the female idol's little hand in fascination and asked curiously.

"what happened?"

"Yunshang Entertainment has decided to suppress the public praise I told you before. The media I contacted did not dare to report it anymore, and specially sent me a greeting in advance. I guess I won't see relevant news starting tomorrow."

Mizukura Shun said angrily.

In terms of Neon’s ability to control public opinion today, he is simply not good enough in front of Yunshang Entertainment.

This feeling of being crushed easily was too uncomfortable and frustrating for him.

Honma chuckled and said, "I've always said that that guy is a smart man, you'd better stop doing these little tricks, they don't make any sense.

Now you understand, he is much more cautious than you think. "

Junichi Mizukura said unconvinced, "What caution! I think he is just a coward, and he doesn't even dare to accept flattery."

Mizukura Junichi's words made Honma look down on him.

Honma knew exactly why Mizukura Shunichi hated Hanyu Hideki.

With the help of Hideki Hanyu's power, he took control of the Asian Music Association, but he turned around and ignored Hideki Hanyu.

Not to mention Hideki Hanyu, even he would not make it easy for Junichi Mizukura with this stupid approach.

If it weren't for achieving his goal, or if the other people around him weren't even stupider, Honma wouldn't bother to cooperate with Mizukura Shunichi.

Thinking of this, he said seriously.

"Togura! I've already said, don't keep thinking about doing these little tricks.

If you have the time, you might as well contact Johnny & Associates. Although Johnny Kitagawa is a waste who only knows how to molest children, his brother-in-law is still very energetic at the top.

Johnny & Associates is now being overwhelmed by Yunshang Entertainment. The newcomers they have launched have failed to make any splash. Their male idol market has been completely eaten up by Yunshang Entertainment. The siblings will definitely agree to our conditions. "

Seeing that Honma was already a little angry, Mizukura Junichi could only suppress the anger in his heart and prepare to answer a few words respectfully.

But who would have thought that at this moment, the female idol sitting next to Honma suddenly screamed in pain.

"what happened?"

Honma, who was already in a bad mood by Mizukura Junichi, asked in a cold voice.

The female idol said with fear on her face, "Sir, you pinched my hand and it hurt."

Snapped!
The female idol responded with a harsh slap from Honma.

This female idol, who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, was knocked to the ground on the spot.

What followed was Honma's violent roar.

"Bitch! How dare you interrupt my business with just a little pain!"

"sorry Sorry!"

The female idol who was knocked to the ground turned over and knelt on the ground. Not only did she not dare to complain at all, but she humbly apologized profusely.

But after Honma slapped him, it seemed that the anger in his heart had not yet dissipated.

Although he told Junichi Mizukura not to use petty tricks on Hideki Hanyu.

But it was obvious that Honma was still quite angry about the failure of Mizukura Junichi's plan.

The apparent calmness and rationality are just disguised.

The anger in my heart was suppressed even more because of hypocrisy.

So next, Honma's short and fat body stood up directly and began to punch and kick the female idol in front of him, venting the anger and violence in his heart wantonly.

In the end, it seemed that even if I hit him with my hands, I wouldn't be able to relieve my anger.

He picked up the ashtray on the table and threw it directly at the female idol's head.

boom!
The first blow left the girl, who was already bruised and swollen, with a bloody head.

boom!
The second time, the girl fell to the ground with a bloody head.

Immediately afterwards, Honma raised his hand and prepared to hit it a third time.

But before his arm could fall, he was stopped by Junichi Mizukura's hand.

"Asshole! How dare you stop me!" This was Honma's voice.

"Honma-san, calm down." This was Mizukura Shunichi's voice.

On the ground, the still conscious female idol looked at Junichi Mizukura with eyes full of pleading.

Although on weekdays, her president squeezed her to the extreme and even made her bear hundreds of millions of debts for the firm.

Even though it was Junichi Mizukura who dedicated her to Honma with his own hands today.

But now, she didn't want to be beaten by Honma anymore, so she had no choice but to turn to this well-dressed beast for help.

"Homma-san, it would be very troublesome for us to really kill someone."

Junichi Mizukura continued to persuade.

He didn't want to save this female idol, but because the female idol signed a contract with his agency, he was worried that if something happened, he would be in trouble.

"But she makes me very angry!" Honma's tone was still violent.

Although Honma is talking about a female idol, everyone actually knows who she is.

"Homma-san, what do you think about this? I have recently made acquaintance with some production companies in Kansai. How about we send her to shoot a movie there?
Just take the one with the largest scale, and I will customize a version specifically for Honma-san. You will definitely be relieved after seeing it. "

The three people present knew what the video Mizukura Junichi was talking about.

The so-called Kansai Production Company is basically controlled by the Yakuza.

It’s self-evident what they can use female idols to shoot.

Therefore, as soon as Mizukura Junyi said this, Honma immediately showed a ferocious smile.

"Haha! I am very satisfied with your idea, then I will wait for your video."

Honma said, looking at the female idol and asked, "But if we work on a movie like this, is there any problem with her contract? But don't let those guys catch her."

"Don't worry Honma-san. She signed a full contract with me just to get a little advantage. I also invested 200 million yen in real estate with a loan in her name. If she dares to be disobedient, all these debts will be owed to her." Come back."

When Mizukura Junichi talked about his methods, his face was full of pride.

Hearing this, Honma smiled and praised, "Haha, Tokura-san is really good at it."

At this time, the female idol, who had realized what might happen to her, desperately began to beg for mercy.

"Please let me go, President. As long as you are willing to let me go, I am willing to help you with another loan, as much as you want."

But the female idol didn't know that the value in her body had already been squeezed out by Shunichi Mizukura.

Naturally, Shunichi Mizukura would not show any mercy to her who was worthless at this time.

Therefore, he completely ignored the female idol’s plea for mercy.

Instead, Honma, who was moody and suddenly in a good mood, responded to the female idol.

"Haha, this is the price of greed!"

Honma said, patting the female idol's face, "That bastard knows that you can't take the fame you get in vain. Why don't you understand this?"

Looking at the female idol with blood on her head and face, Honma tutted and said, "It's such a pity that you are so beautiful. Mizukura-san just gave you to me, and I haven't even played yet, so you have to give it to those guys in Kansai." , I’m still a virgin now, and I’ll be a piece of rotten meat when I come back.”

At this time, Junichi Mizukura's voice sounded, "What's the pity that she looks covered in blood now? Why don't you find happiness with me, Honma-san."

I just recently discovered an interesting nightclub. The female publicist there has a very special background. She was a wife of a good family before. "

"Eh? How come there is such a place?" Honma's attention was immediately attracted.

"I heard that the husbands of these women were all bankrupted in the stock market crash a year ago, and they came to work as a last resort." Shunichi Mizukura explained.

"Then I'm going to experience it."

Honma said this, but he still had some unfinished thoughts, "Isn't there any other new artist in Mizukura-san's office? Although the good wife is good, the young girl is also good."

"Well...because that bastard has been targeting me, my firm hasn't signed anyone new for a while."

Junichi Mizukura explained awkwardly.

When Honma heard this, he felt very contemptuous in his heart.

Although he didn't like Hanyu Hideki, he also knew how someone like Hanyu Hideki could be idle and target a big firm like Mizukura Shunichi.

In Honma's view, the specific reason is actually this.

After Junichi Mizukura was expelled from the Asian Music Association, many people in the entertainment industry were intimidated by Cloud Entertainment's attitude, so they reduced or stopped cooperation with Junichi Mizukura.

Junichi Mizukura couldn't make a lot of money by relying on the right way, so naturally he could only engage in crooked ways.

For example, taking out a loan in the name of an artist is one of the methods.

If things go on like this, Mizukura Junichi's office will naturally have a bad reputation.

Not only in the circle, but even outside the circle.

In this case, except for the female idol lying on the ground who signed a contract because of petty gain, no normal person would sign a contract with Junichi Mizukura's agency.

As for whether Hideki Hanyu took action?

It is estimated that at most it was Yunshang-based media reporting on what Mizukura Junichi and his office were doing.

What's the point of that joke?

Junichi Mizukura: Hideki Hanyu is smearing me.

Passerby: How to smear it.

Junichi Mizukura: His media told me everything I did.

Thinking of this, Honma couldn't help laughing.

The Junichi Mizukura in front of him was indeed a bastard that even he looked down upon.

Mizukura Junichi, who didn't know what Honma was thinking, asked in confusion, "What's wrong with Honma-san?"

Honma replied, "Nothing, let's go out and play."

"Ok."

As soon as Mizukura Shun finished speaking, he followed the short and fat Honma out of the office.

After a while, one of Mizukura Junichi's subordinates walked into the room cautiously, and helped the female idol lying on the ground with a look of fear on his face.

……

Nishinari-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture.

The famous red light district "Hiden Shinchi" in the Neon Kansai area is located here.

In this day and age, the Yakuza is naturally indispensable behind such dark areas.

They protect the so-called "underground rules" here, and also directly intervene in the business, not to mention doing some dirty tricks of forcing girls into prostitution.

In the mid-to-late 1980s, with the boom in neon romance action films, the Yakuza in this area began to take advantage of the convenience of the dark zone to engage in this field after seeing the profits from these films.

After all, in Neon, it is well known that Yida is involved in the management of the entertainment industry.

Many of the famous enka singers in the current circle are actually owned by Yida.

Therefore, it is relatively easy for these extreme forces to intervene in emerging industries.

this day.

In Xicheng District, a "Yamamoto Production Company" with a scrawled signboard had just received an actress sent from Tokyo.

The actress is very young and looks to be only sixteen or seventeen years old.

With big black eyes, a small and delicate face, and short hair hanging below her ears, she looks quite beautiful.

Although there seems to be an injury on the forehead that has not healed, it doesn't matter at all, because the injury can be used to design plots in the subsequent filming.

Even judging from the girl's emotions, it was obvious that she was forced to come here, and no one cared at all. After all, the most common thing here is being forced.

And this "Yamamoto Production Company", which looks very informal at first glance, has never used such a beautiful actress.

Just when the girl was forced to sign the "movie contract", several young men had already come forward and said that they would be the leading actors in the next filming.

In the end, it was Yamamoto, the boss of "Yamamoto Production Company", who won the leading actor position by virtue of his method of "convincing people with virtue and overcoming everyone's opinions".

Seeing this man with a sinister face and a fierce look walking towards her with an evil look on his face, the girl who was sent from Tokyo was frightened and screamed on the spot.

And couldn't help shouting.

"Don't come over! Don't come over! I'll call the police! I'll call the police!"

"Haha, call the police. We are a subordinate organization of a group of three. Look at which unsighted PC dares to meddle in our business!"

After saying that, the vicious boss Yamamoto raised the "movie contract" in his hand and said, "And you have signed a formal contract with us. If you want to break the contract, you can just compensate us 10 million yen first."

The girl said dejectedly, "You forced me to sign, I didn't do it voluntarily."

"Haha, who would believe you? You'd better be good, I can save you some pain. If you don't, we will have a few horses in our backyard!"

As soon as Boss Yamamoto's threats came out, the girl covered her mouth and burst into tears. She seemed to be completely stunned.

Seeing that his threat was effective, Boss Yamamoto immediately gave instructions to the younger brothers of "Yamamoto Production Company".

"We have set up the venue and are preparing to start shooting the first part. Looking at the information coming from Tokyo, this is the first time for this young lady. We will shoot at least ten more parts today."

"Ten parts? Boss, can you do it?"

"Asshole, whoever dares to say I can't do it, I'll blow his head off!"

"Ha ha--"

Amid roars of laughter, the shooting location was quickly set up.

The girl who was intimidated was also forced to put on a JK uniform, making her look even more innocent, charming and pitiful.

When the girl looked like this, Mr. Yamamoto couldn't help but rub his hands and laugh wildly. He couldn't wait to start filming.

"The cameras are in place, the lights are in place, and the boss can start, but we haven't decided what the plot will be today."

The voice of the boy in charge of the camera came.

Boss Yamamoto said impatiently, "Whatever plot you want, let me play it freely."

After saying that, Boss Yamamoto rushed towards the girl impatiently.

Amidst the girl's exclamation and the sinister laughter of Boss Yamamoto, everything was about to happen.

Sudden.

A young man rushed into the studio and shouted, "Boss!"

"Asshole! Why did you burst in suddenly and didn't you see me working?"

Boss Yamamoto, who had already grabbed the collar of the girl's JK uniform with one hand, asked the younger brother angrily.

After all, no one will have a good temper if the arrow is suddenly interrupted.

However, the younger brother who broke in didn't panic. He just said to Boss Yamamoto, "Boss, it's Minister Matsumoto who is here."

"What? Minister Matsumoto is here!" After hearing this, Boss Yamamoto didn't care about filming any movies, and was anxious to walk out.

Although the struggle between the two major organizations after the split of the Sankou Group is still ongoing.

But in fact, the balance of victory has tilted towards the three-person team.

Therefore, during this period, the senior leaders of the Three-Kou Group, who have learned their lessons, have made one thing clear, that is, they must run a "legitimate business."

At least on the surface it's "legitimate business."

Minister Matsumoto is said to have returned from studying at a well-known British university. He was appointed by the upper management of the Sankou Group and is fully responsible for the organization and development of "legitimate business" matters. "Yamamoto Productions Co., Ltd." appears to be a legitimate business.

Therefore, it is also subject to the jurisdiction of Minister Matsumoto.

But before Boss Yamamoto rushed out, his younger brother quickly reminded him, "Boss, clothes! Clothes!"

Only then did Boss Yamamoto notice that he was so anxious to see Minister Matsumoto that he actually forgot that he was wearing filming clothes.

As a last resort, I went back, put on my clothes and went out again.

When he arrived at the company office in front, Boss Yamamoto saw Minister Matsumoto, who was in his thirties and looked quite elegant, wearing black-rimmed glasses and sitting on his chair.

"See Minister Matsumoto."

Boss Yamamoto immediately knelt on the floor and saluted respectfully.

Minister Matsumoto didn't even look at Mr. Yamamoto, and just said, "Yamamoto-san, I'm glad to see you. Please get up."

While speaking, Minister Matsumoto was still looking through the messy working documents of "Yamamoto Productions Co., Ltd."

After a while, he had sat up straight, completely unaware of what was going on. But as he looked at Minister Matsugi, Boss Yamamoto was frightened and cold sweat unconsciously flowed down his temples.

Boss Yamamoto knows very well that despite the gentle appearance of Minister Matsumoto in front of him.

But for the work he was responsible for, he was particularly ruthless and bloody when he dealt with people.

Just when Boss Yamamoto could hardly bear it anymore, Minister Matsumoto finally spoke.

"The production company is really badly run by you."

Minister Matsumoto said these words very calmly, and did not seem to be mixed with any emotion.

But when it fell into Boss Yamamoto's ears, it chilled him like a biting ice pick.

He was so frightened that he quickly sat down and said, "Mr. Matsumoto, I was too stupid and wasted the organization's investment."

"Just know that you are stupid." Minister Matsumoto threw the document on the table.

"Uh-" Boss Yamamoto didn't know how to answer this.

However, Minister Matsumoto did not intend to let the idiot in his eyes answer.

In his view, these guys who only have muscles in their minds and only know how to fight and kill are completely wasting the organization's wealth when running an industry.

And he came today to resolve this matter.

"I am now officially informing you that Yamamoto Productions will no longer need you to run it."

"What!" Boss Yamamoto couldn't hold it back and exclaimed.

After all, in his view, this is depriving him of his rights and income.

"This is the organization's decision. Do you want to defy the organization?"

As Minister Matsumoto spoke, he looked at Boss Yamamoto.

Behind the black-framed glasses, there is a cold light like a poisonous tongue.

When Boss Yamamoto saw this, he couldn't help but tremble.

He quickly replied, "That's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask, I am not in charge of the production club, so what should I do next? After all, the people under me still have to eat."

“Not just your production company, but all related production companies in Kansai will be integrated and packaged for sale.

As for you, the organization has made new arrangements. Recently, the Pachinko Copyright Business Alliance in Tokyo decided to invest in 46 new pachinko shops in the Kansai region. The organization will definitely participate in the bidding and win the operating rights. When the time comes, You will be responsible for the management of a store under your leadership. "

As soon as Minister Matsumoto said this, Boss Yamamoto, who was still panicking just now, suddenly beamed with joy.

Compared to a production company that needs to shoot and produce by itself, contact buyers by itself, and make little money despite all the hard work, Yamamoto certainly prefers to run a pachinko shop that can make money simply and crudely.

Although after running a pachinko shop, he can no longer be a movie leading actor.

But as long as he can make money and there are a lot of women in Tobita Xindi for him to enjoy, Boss Yamamoto doesn't care much about it.

However, thinking that there was a beautiful actress in the shooting room at the back that could not be used, Boss Yamamoto tried to ask.

"Minister Matsumoto, when will I hand over the management rights?"

Minister Matsumoto replied, "Today."

Thinking of the girl's beautiful face, Boss Yamamoto still refused to give up, "Mr. Matsumoto, we are preparing to shoot a new movie. Do you want to wait until the shooting is completed..."

"Ok?"

Following a voice of questioning, Minister Matsumoto's sinister eyes followed closely.

Then, words of warning sounded.

"The forces that took over the production company this time are not something you and I can offend, so don't let your stupidity cause any extraneous problems. Seal everything, whether it's people or things, and wait for their acceptance."

"Yes! Minister Matsumoto." Yamamoto said respectfully.

In fact, he was very curious and wanted to ask what kind of force could take over the entire Kansai romance action film industry from the organization.

But although he is simple-minded, he is not a fool after all.

Minister Matsumoto, a man who is fearless and cruel, can be extremely afraid of the forces that cannot be provoked, and he must be unable to provoke them.

At this moment, a man in a black suit suddenly knocked on the door and walked into the office. He came to Minister Matsumoto and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, Minister Matsumoto quickly ordered, "Invite them in."

"Yes." The man in the black suit turned and walked out of the office.

Soon, the other party came back with someone.

He was a man in his forties, who looked a bit dull and honest, and whose temperament was completely incompatible with the Yakuza members present.

But it happened that he was just such a person. When facing the members of the Jidao in the office, he had a calm expression and spoke neither arrogantly nor arrogantly.

"I'm very happy to meet you all. I am Masahito Saeki, the business representative of Saito Group. I am responsible for the acceptance of Yamamoto Productions. I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future."

Facing this Masahito Saeki, Minister Matsumoto changed his previous sinister temperament and stood up with a smile on his face.

"Hello Saeki-san, my name is Junji Matsumoto. We will definitely cooperate fully with your reception."

"Thank you very much Matsumoto-san."

"This is what I should do."

"Then I will arrange for my subordinates to start working."

"Saeki-san please."

……

In the previous shooting room, a despairing girl squatted in the corner.

Although as the boss Yamamoto left, everyone else in the room also left.

But a moment of peace could not bring her the slightest sense of security.

At this time, the girl's heart was filled with endless regret.

I regretted why I had coveted the signing fee in the first place, and chose Shunichi Mizukura's firm despite my friends' dissuasion.

It was that moment of greed that cost her a loan of 200 million yen.

Let her be dedicated to the man named Honma by the president more than a month ago.

She was beaten so violently that she was admitted to the hospital, and was sent here after she recovered slightly.

But now, there is no point in regretting it.

Thinking of what would happen next, she only felt that her future was dark.

At this moment, the sound of leather shoes stepping on the wooden floor came, and it got closer and closer to the room where the shooting was taken.

After the girl noticed it, she couldn't help but shiver.

Is the nightmare coming?
The girl couldn't even cry at this time, and her body instantly became limp, as if she had accepted her tragic fate.

But the next moment, the door was pushed open.

The person who walked in was not the vicious boss Yamamoto.

Instead, he was a young man in his twenties with a reserved expression and immature temperament, as if he had just graduated from college.

The young man holds a pen in his hand and a document for recording.

The young man walked in and saw the girl slumped in the corner. He scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Miss, I'm very sorry. Can you excuse me?"

The desperate girl's expression was dull and she didn't realize what was happening.

Seeing this, the man said in a formulaic and polite tone.

"I am a salesperson of the Xidu Group, responsible for the inventory of the assets of Yamamoto Production Company. I heard the person in front of me said, Miss, you are a contracted actor of Yamamoto Production Company."

It seemed that the man's last sentence, which said the girl was an actress contracted by Yamamoto Production Company, stimulated the girl's remaining fragile nerves.

The girl immediately said in a panicked voice, "I'm not! I'm not! I was forced by them."

Seeing the girl with a panicked expression, trembling body, and helpless cries, the young man only showed surprise for a moment, and then immediately calmed down.

After all, this was not the first time he had seen the scene in front of him in Kansai these days.

The young man continued to maintain the formulaic tone.

"Miss, I hope you can calmly cooperate with me in registering. Yamamoto Productions has been acquired by my company, Saidu Group. If you have any objections to the performance contract and want to make a complaint, you also need to complete the registration first."

The girl seemed to have finally come to her senses at this time, and asked the young man as if grasping the last straw, "If this club is acquired by you, will I no longer have to make movies?"

The young man replied, "Sorry, I can only tell you not to use it for the time being."

The establishment of Xidu Group is to integrate Neon's love action film market, which has just begun to grow but is chaotic.

Although the upper management of the group has stated that after the integration, the industry will be standardized and formalized.

But at the end of the day, you still have to do the production business.

The girl in front of her is a contracted actress of Yamamoto Production Company. Now that Yamamoto Production Company has been acquired by Saito Group, the contract she signed belongs to Saito Group.

If there are no problems with the contract, the other party will definitely have to fulfill its filming obligations in the future.

Although the Xidu Group is not a cult.

However, the complexity and power of the composition of the Xidu Group's board of directors are far beyond what Ji Dao can match.

Girls are powerless to resist when faced with the Yakuza.

Facing the Xidu Group, it is like meat on the chopping board.

But the young man's words finally allowed the girl to escape the nightmare for the time being.

Moreover, when the girl remembered what the young man said just now, she could still complain later, which meant that there was no chance of redemption.

So she immediately put away the panic on her face, looked at the young man seriously and said, "I am willing to accept registration, please start."

Seeing that the girl finally calmed down, the young man secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he picked up the pen and documents and began to ask.

"Okay, Miss, what is your name, where is your home address, and what year were you born in?"

"My name is Tomoda Maki, born in Kanagawa Prefecture..."

……

Hideki Hanyu didn't know what kind of butterfly effect his decision to suppress public opinion in America would cause.

Of course, with his current height, it would be difficult to notice the ordinary people who were affected by his decision.

Perhaps the employment opportunities created by a casual investment can change the poverty fate of many ordinary families in the area.

Perhaps a layoff order based on profit considerations will cause some originally happy families to become fragmented.

perhaps……

No matter how many possibilities there are, Hanyu Hideki will never know.

It's also hard to know.

So, let us turn our attention back to the Cloud Pictures event where Hideki Hanyu made the decision more than a month ago.

When Asako Hirohashi came back after making the phone call, the event had officially begun.

Invited guests arrived one after another.

Because it is mainly an event for companies in the industry, the main invited guests are company executives.

Although there are celebrities, they are only a minority.

Many seemingly beautiful girls are actually helped by New Century Brokerage Company to bring a lively atmosphere.

As for other celebrity guests, most of them are artists who have collaborated with Yunshang Pictures.

For example, Harrison Ford and Sigourney Weaver starred in "Working Girl".

Or Jenny Wright, Keanu Reeves, Emmanuelle Beard, and Sherilyn Fenn, the stars of the two "Night of the Dead" movies.

As well as "Die Hard" star Bruce Willis and others who completed the filming task.

Brooke Shields, who has not yet been cast in a new movie, came to the event with her mother.

Not to mention Naomi Watts, who has participated in three independent films through the relationship with Yunshang Pictures.

Today, Naomi Watts looked extremely gorgeous in a sequined silver fishtail evening dress.

However, when Hideki Hanyu saw Naomi Watts, he thought of one thing Fred Weber told him, that is, all directors who have worked with Naomi Watts are very fond of Naomi Watts. Watts was praised for his acting talent.

This also made Hanyu Hideki feel very emotional. Compared with some stars who have never improved after a lifetime of filming, some people are born to eat this bowl of rice.

Of course, in addition to these people, there are also some artists who have obtained invitations through "relationships", trying to find some opportunities for themselves in today's high-level event.

This situation is not uncommon at Hollywood events and parties.

It's just that among these people, Hanyu Hideki didn't see any familiar future stars for the time being.

And after greeting several guests, he discovered that there was a person who should have appeared but never showed up.

That's Nicole Kidman.

Today's event is held by Yunshang Pictures based on the popularity of "Working Girl". As Nicole Kidman, who became famous through "Working Girl", it should be reasonable to come to Yunshang Pictures in advance to help the platform. .

After all, even in Hollywood, everyone attaches great importance to the kindness of knowing someone.

At the very least, show an attitude of gratitude.

After all, no one in Hollywood likes to hire someone who will fall out immediately after success.

But now, the crew and creative staff of "Working Girl" are basically here, but Nicole Kidman has not yet appeared.

Not only Hanyu Hideki, but other people have also noticed it and started discussing it in private.

Hideki Hanyu found Fred Weber and said, "Nicole Kidman hasn't come yet. Has she told you?"

"I haven't seen her for a while." Fred Weber's tone was not good either.

And he could tell that Hanyu Hideki's tone was wrong.

After all, in the past, Hideki Hanyu would not call Nicole Kidman by her full name.

After Fred finished speaking, he glanced at the event site again, and then added, "The president of CAA, Michael Ovitz, is not here either."

Hideki Hanyu read the invitation list and knew that Michael Ovitz was also among the invited guests.

At this time, Fred Weber said again, "I heard that CAA has another event, which is about the same time as ours, but we mainly invite distributors, but the main ones there are producers."

When Hideki Hanyu heard this, he seemed to understand something.

He curved his lips and smiled slightly, "It seems that someone chose what they thought was more important."

Fred Weber also smiled and echoed, "Boss, this is Hollywood."

"The world's largest Vanity Fair did not disappoint me. I found that I like it here even more."

Hideki Hanyu said and looked at Fred Weber, "Fred, what about you?"

Fred raised the wine glass in his hand, "Boss, I fucking love this place, cheers."

"Here's to this fucking place! Cheers!"

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, the wine glass in his hand collided with Fred Weber's wine glass.

After taking a sip, Hanyu Hideki looked in the direction of the door and said, "The guests who need me to greet are here."

"Boss, this is indeed a job that only you can handle."

Fred Weber looked at the silver-haired old man who had just entered the scene and said as if he was joking.

Because the other party's name is Rupert Murdoch.

Media tycoons naturally need people of equal status to receive them.

Next, Hideki Hanyu took Monica Bellucci to meet Rupert Murdoch and extended his hand to greet him.

"Mr. Murdoch, welcome to Yunshang Pictures."

"Long time no see, Mr. Hanyu." Rupert Murdoch looked at the event while shaking hands, "This kind of office building doesn't look like a movie company."

Hideki Hanyu just smiled in response to Rupert Murdoch's words.

"Of course I also hope that Yunshang Pictures will have a movie park like 20th Century Fox, but after all Yunshang Pictures is a newcomer to Hollywood and lacks foundation."

Rupert Murdoch said, "Mr. Hanyu is too humble. Yunshang Pictures has performed very well recently and is not far from success."

“The success of Working Girl is also helped by the distribution of 20th Century Fox. Moreover, we have been established almost two years ago, and we have only succeeded in this movie. It is still far away from success, and it cannot be compared with 20th Century Fox. "

Faced with the high hat handed over by Rupert Murdoch, Hanyu Hideki simply refused to accept it.

After all, no one knows what old foxes like Rupert Murdoch are up to.

"Mr. Hanyu, Yunshang Pictures seems to have several more projects this year, including a movie that will be filmed using the novel rights of Twentieth Century Fox."

Hearing Rupert Murdoch say this, Hanyu Hideki immediately emphasized.

"There are three movies planned to be released in theaters. As for Die Hard, we paid enough to buy the novel from 20th Century Fox, so it is now the copyright of Yunshang Pictures."

Rupert Murdoch pretended to be surprised and said, "Is that so? In that case, how about we continue to cooperate. After all, we have been working together very happily."

Hanyu Hideki did not agree, but just replied.

"Mr. Murdoch, business is business."

"Yes, business is business, but Mr. Hanyu seems to have rejected me many times when it comes to cooperation."

When the Australian media tycoon said this, he stared at Hideki Hanyu with burning eyes.

Rupert Murdoch's gaze is certainly oppressive.

Although Hideki Hanyu is young, his personal strength is no less than that of Rupert Murdoch.

So his eyes were equally sharp and he met Rupert Murdoch's eyes head on.

He replied without any politeness.

"If the cooperation Mr. Murdoch is talking about is to secretly contact my TV station partners, buy their shares privately, and then take the opportunity to help them raise the price to me, even if this kind of cooperation occurs ten thousand times, I will not do it at all. Don’t hesitate to say no!”
