Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 64

Hideki Hanyu's attitude made Hirohashi Asako very surprised, thinking that it's not just a contestant in A Star Is Born, so why be so excited?

This program has been on the air for so many years. Although it has contributed a lot of female idols, they are very few after all, and more are actually lost to the public.

Everyone wanted to discover the next Momoe Yamaguchi, but none succeeded.

Seeing Asako Hirohashi's surprised expression, Hideki Hanyu realized that other people were not as foresighted as he was, so naturally they couldn't understand why he was so excited.

But even if he didn't understand, he had to push forward with this matter.

If there is no chance, it's fine not to mention this matter. Since there is a chance, then we must try our best to fight for it.

Moreover, reaching a cooperation with Warner Pioneer is only the first step. After winning the championship, Akina Nakamori has been sought after by many agencies.

Let alone whether you are willing or not, it is not certain whether you can sign the other party.

And no one knows Nakamori Akina's future achievements, and it may be a good thing that Terabayashi hoped that they would show sincerity.

"If Asako-san believes in me, please do as I say this time."

Hanyu Hideki had a serious expression and a serious tone.

Seeing Hanyu Hideki being so serious at work for the first time, Hirohashi Asako nodded involuntarily, "Please tell me, Hanyu-san."

"Contact Terrin-sang immediately, and express that we will do our best to facilitate this cooperation."

Speaking of this, Hideki Hanyu emphasized in a deep voice.

"Asako-san, the bottom line of our sincerity is that we can help Warner Pioneer share the production and promotion costs of Akina Nakamori's future records, and we do not share the rights to the original songs."

Speaking of this, Hideki Hanyu thought of Akina Nakamori's earning speed comparable to that of printing, and then thought about his own office that was equivalent to an empty shell.

He decided to make a quick decision. He absolutely couldn't wait until Warner Records contacted Kenneth Firm, which was supported by the Sasakawa family. He gritted his teeth.

"If these are not enough, Asako-san will promise Warner Pioneer that the income ratio can be lower than the investment ratio."

The record company is an upstream company in the industry. As a brokerage firm, they want to seize the opportunity to grab food from the other party. How can it be possible without paying a price.

That's Akina Nakamori, even if he can only get half of the investment ratio, it's a huge profit.

After listening to Hanyu Hideki's words, Hirohashi Asako touched Hanyu Hideki's head with her hand, "Hayu-san, you don't have a fever, do you?"

"No?"

"I thought Hanyu-san had a fever and his brain went crazy."

When Hirohashi Asako spoke, her eyes really looked like she was looking at a fool.

The reason why the entertainment industry is looking for financial backers is not because the investment risk is too high. Everyone wants to find someone to share the risk of failure, especially when producing idols with huge costs.

But Hideki Hanyu is good, she took the initiative to take risks for others, not to mention that the income ratio can even be lower than the investment ratio. If she tells Warner Pioneer this kind of sincerity, she will probably be regarded as a fool.

"Hanyu-san, don't think about it again, not every player who is born into a star will become Momoe Yamaguchi."

Hirohashi Asako earnestly persuaded.

But Hideki Hanyu, who had made up his mind, decided to act arbitrarily, "I'm just talking about the bottom line, and it's up to Asako-san to what extent I can talk about it."

"The funds can be used to share the risk of record production, Tanaka-san's side." Although Hirohashi Asako didn't explain, the meaning is obvious.

"Don't worry about Asako-san. I will explain to Yukio-san. Let's talk according to what I said. Please don't let me down, Asako-san."

Hanyu Hideki's tone was rarely stern.

Seeing this, Hirohashi Asako could only nod her head in agreement.

"Don't worry, Hanyu-san, if I can't even negotiate a cooperation with this kind of conditions, I might as well just resign."

"Everything is up to Asako-san, please act now."

"I hope Hanyu-san's judgment is correct."

……

After Hirohashi Asako's unexpected surprise, Hanyu Hideki went to the Shogakukan in a happy mood, and found Kitahara Eri who hadn't seen him for a long time.

"Kitahara-san, how's your time going?"

Seeing Hideki Hanyu's happy expression, Eri Kitahara sighed, "I'm not as happy as Mr. Hanyu."

"Hey, isn't my picture book selling well? Why isn't Kitahara-san happy?"

Eri Kitahara called her teacher when she opened her mouth, and Hideki Hanyu said it was very strange.

Some time ago, when he was reading newspapers in a few games, he discovered that the Sankei Shimbun had compiled a list of best-selling authors in the first half of 1981.

With the actual sales volume of 24 picture books, he firmly sits at the fourth position in the overall list. If only the category of picture books is counted, then he is definitely ranked first.

This achievement ranks firmly in the first place among all the contracted writers of Xiaoxueguan. As his exclusive person in charge, there is nothing to be unhappy about.

"Does Hanyu know the sales volume of the latest issue of "Children's Literature and Art"?" Kitahara Eri asked.

"I don't know." Hanyu Hideki shook his head.

Why is he concerned about this? The last issue of "Magic Snack Shop" was serialized, and his work was not published in the latest issue.

"There were only 37 copies, compared to 69 copies in the previous issue. Without Hanyu-san's magical snack shop, sales plummeted by nearly 50.00%." ​​Eri Kitahara smiled wryly.

"It turns out I'm so powerful."

Hanyu Hideki stroked his chin, and couldn't help but feel a little smug.

"Hanyu-san is so amazing, now everyone is urging me to ask Hanyu-san for the follow-up of Miracle Dessert Shop,"

After Kitahara Eri finished speaking, she put on an appearance that you can figure it out.

"Shouldn't you publish a booklet first?" Hideki Hanyu asked strangely.

According to the usual practice, the booklet should be launched now while it is hot.

"Today I just want to talk to Hanyu-san about the publishing contract of the booklet, but the people above can't wait any longer. They don't want the good start of children's literature and art to fall like this."

Eri Kitahara said and pointed upwards, it was self-evident who he was talking about.

"The magical dim sum shop has no creative inspiration for the time being. Please forgive me for the decline in the sales of children's literature and art."

Hideki Hanyu is a writer, so of course there is a reason why he has no creative inspiration.

The main reason is that he doesn't want to sacrifice his own interests for the sake of the weekly magazine of the Primary School.

With the current word-of-mouth and popularity of "Magic Snack Shop" among readers, it doesn't matter whether it will be serialized in the future, anyway, only the serialization contract for the first volume was signed before.

Even if you want to use serialization to spread your influence, it is best when the sales volume is weak and declining after the release of the first booklet.

At that time, as long as the new serialized stories were of good quality, they were equivalent to the best advertisements, which would further stimulate the sales of the first booklet.

If it is serialized now, it will steal readers' attention from the booklet.

"I understand."

Eri Kitahara knew this answer and sent it up, and she would inevitably be reprimanded.

But there is no way, Hideki Hanyu said that she has no inspiration, she can't force it to write.

Seeing Eri Kitahara's appearance, Hideki Hanyu seemed to remember something.

"Although there is no follow-up to the magical snack shop, I thought of a good story when I was traveling before, and I finished it after watching baseball games these days."

The story Hanyu Hideki told was "Love, Go Home" that reminded me of Keiko's mother-in-law.

"What story, let me read it first." Eri Kitahara asked eagerly.

If there is no sequel to "Magic Snack Shop", Hideki Hanyu's new work can more or less stop the mouths of those upper-level leaders.

"I didn't bring the manuscript with me, it's in my house."

"Then I will accompany Hanyu-san to pick it up now." While speaking, Kitahara Eri had already started packing her things.

"Don't be so anxious, didn't you say that you want to discuss the publishing contract of the booklet?"

Hideki Hanyu was a little speechless, wondering what the management of the Shogakukan were doing?Why does it feel like Eri Kitahara is about to be dazed.

"I'll bring the contract with me, and it's the same when I go to the master house to talk."

Eri Kitahara pulled Hanyu Hideki and walked out. She was in such a hurry, it seemed that she would not give up until she got the manuscript.
