Tokyo Reborn: Dark Superstar

Chapter 116 New Album "PLANET" (Planet)

But no matter what Takakura Bunta thinks, it is too early to consider Kitano Takeshi.

It is estimated that Takeshi Kitano has not even written the script yet. Coupled with a series of preparatory work such as location selection, filming will not start until at least the spring of next year.

Kitano Takeshi has always been a director who breaks away from the rules of the entire world.

Even if there is film investment from Totland Investment Holdings Co., Ltd., he may not act in accordance with industry rules.

…………

In his previous life, when his mother passed away, Kitano suddenly wanted to be funny.

He stroked her face and said, "It looks like the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses II from the British Museum."

After arriving at the crematorium, he thought of another joke: "Bake it medium rare for me, thank you!"

This time he didn't dare to say it.

…………

As a rule of thumb, if you want to sleep with a girl, you need to eat together three times.

"I think I will still choose the kind of life that will burn rapidly at a high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees."

He said: "I don't want to die for a boring life."

Too bad he's not interested in power.

"Although it is hard, I will still choose that hot life."

When I was young, I participated in various activities just to pick up girls.

…………

Kitano Takeshi dances in the mire and sings in the abyss.

He is interested in women.

Such a bastard has become the most trusted person among Japanese netizens and the ideal candidate for prime minister.

Even if he sits on the throne, he will suddenly stand up and urinate in public.

Takeshi Kitano's character is just like himself.

…………

At the same time, Akira Kurosawa had high hopes: "The future of Japanese cinema depends on you."

This "gangster" is a top-level director, actor, and host in Japan.

This is the charm of Takeshi Kitano.

"Even if I have a chance, I can start my life over again."

His life was full of misdeeds - stealing his sister's dowry and squandering it, stripping naked on stage, frequently having affairs, etc.

…………

Kitano Takeshi once said to Noriko Sakai, who was still a newcomer: "Generally speaking, we have to eat two more meals before we can go to the hotel to book a room, but I really don't have time. Can I give you the money for the two meals and the room directly? We are now Just start."

Vibrant and wild.

Compared to later Red Earth Continent movies.

I cannot write about an innocent personality, so I can only write about an innocent body;
If you cannot create a noble soul, you can create a noble birth;

A bunch of anti-human characters who have been working in the Jiaofang Division for many years and still keep their integrity have been created.

For example: Princess Sissi in "Menghualu".

Kitano Takeshi's character is completely different.

These characters are always imperfect, with personal and moral flaws.

…………

However, Bunta Takakura was not in a hurry for the male lead, but still called Takeshi Kitano about Nakamori Akina, so as to save the crew from deciding on the role.

Kitano Takeshi was very generous and directly agreed to let Akina Nakamori come back to audition for the female role.

Once it fits, just make a decision.

In addition to the performances and albums of the Beasts rock band, as well as some commercials, Akina Nakamori is now clearly on the trend of gradually retiring...

The retirement movie of one of the three great singers of the Showa era is a good publicity point.

....................................

In late April, Bunta Takakura officially named his second album "PLANET".

At the same time, Takakura Bunta basically completed all the accompaniment of "PLANET" and began to enter the recording stage.

Keiko Kanda discussed with Sony and the album is expected to be released in July to August, which is quite different from the original release time of mid-year.

After setting the time, Sony began preparations to build momentum for Bunta Takakura's new album.

.........After good cooperation last year, Sony and Takakura Bunta formally signed cooperation terms at the beginning of this year, and the two parties reached a strategic cooperation agreement.

After reaching a strategic cooperation, Takakura Bunta nominally "joined" Sony and became the nominal "Sony's No. 1 Brother".

Takakura Bunta Studio can make full use of the resources of Sony Music (Sony Columbia Music Entertainment), and even help Takakura Bunta Studio enter the international market.

Of course, behind such favorable conditions, Totland Investment Holdings Co., Ltd. purchased a large number of Sony shares in the secondary market in April 1997.

This gave Sony, which was in deep financial crisis, a breath of relief.

…………

Sony Corporation, a world-renowned large-scale comprehensive multinational enterprise, was once a technological giant in the world's industrial world.

From its founding period in 1950 to 1982, the company relied on "brand-new products to subvert people's lifestyles," from transistor radios, Walkman players, game consoles to semiconductor radios and the first cassette tape launched by Sony in 1979. With the Walkman, Sony has contributed 12 epoch-making technological innovations to the world.

However, this powerful electrical appliance "empire" has continued to suffer losses since 1996...

The main reason for the loss was the acquisition of Columbia Pictures during the peak period of the bubble economy.

This has left Sony with a debt of 1.9 trillion yen, and the huge debt crisis has almost brought the company to the brink of bankruptcy.

…………

In November 1987, Noboru Takeshita, a representative of the pro-American faction who stabbed Tanaka Kakuei in the back, succeeded as prime minister.

This good gentleman began to lead his Japanese giant ship, happily sailing towards the bubble carnival at the end of the century.

As if taking medicine, Japan's business giants took advantage of the appreciation of the yen under the Plaza Accord to buy large amounts of American assets.

Mitsubishi Corporation purchased 51% of New York's Rockefeller Center, known as the "symbol of wealth" and "the symbol of America" ​​in the United States;
Sony buys Columbia Pictures, known as "American Soul";

Panasonic acquires Universal Pictures;
The ABC Building fell, the Citibank headquarters building changed its flag, and the Trunk Building almost fell...

…………

When Japan was clamoring to buy the United States, Keshang pulled out his father's oxygen tube.

The Japanese economy had two major flaws at the time.

The first is that economic development is highly dependent on foreign trade, and the second is that Japan had a serious economic bubble at that time.

The process of the Japanese's large-scale acquisition of the United States is more like taking some kind of game prop that consumes lives and limits souls.

So, Gul'dan, what's the price?

…………

Soon, the side effects of the yen's surge began to be as poisonous as the Federal Reserve expected...

The United States seized on these two flaws and tried to destroy Japan.

The result of the sharp appreciation of the yen is that Japan's external exports have declined, causing the domestic economy to lose its foundation, leading to a bubble in which trade has plummeted and the stock and property markets have skyrocketed.

Finally, the Japanese property and stock market bubbles burst...

Leave a piece of chicken feathers on the ground...

…………

Faced with this extremely harsh domestic environment, Sony first took a dose of poison from Columbia Pictures. When the two major bubbles in the real estate market and the stock market exploded, the poison was immediately released and its vitality was severely damaged.

Totland bought 5% of Sony shares in the secondary market, which was a timely move.

Of course, part of the profits from Rikaiyo's custom-made dolls can also be mopped up. The annual mulberry market in Japan is 19 billion yen. Through the channels of Kariyoya and Masukasuka Girls' Academy, the sales of Rikaiyo dolls have exceeded 3 million. US dollars, converted according to the exchange rate, is 380 billion yen.

The story of the Tokyo Stock Exchange being in shambles is undoubtedly one of the best channels for a shakeout.

This is a win-win investment decision.

....................................

After Sony released the news that the new album of Beast Rock Band will be released soon, the music world instantly began to fill with smoke.

This year, SMAP, the nation’s first-day group, is busy filming, putting on variety shows, and holding concerts. They have no plans to release an album, but only released two singles along with the film and television.

Therefore, the Beast Rock Band lost its biggest rival in the music world this year.

Whether they can overwhelm the crowd by themselves is a major test for the new album "PLANET" of the Beasts rock band.

If this hurdle is passed, Beast Rock Band will be the undisputed new paradise of the Japanese market.

On the contrary, although there will still be opportunities to reach the top in the future, there will be some shortcomings after all.

Takakura Bunta, Nakamori Akina, and Tony Futaki are still under a lot of pressure.

After all, last year, they dominated the charts for several months, had the best sales of the year, broke the dark agreement of Johnny's veteran king, and killed Kondo Masahiko. The Beasts rock band rose to fame and became a living target in the entire music industry.

Takakura Bunta wants to step on everyone to become the new king, and everyone also wants to step on him, a popular fried chicken, to achieve success.

What's even worse than in the previous life is that according to the "United Convention for the Protection of Copyright", the barriers to the entertainment industry markets in various countries have been broken down...

I am in an anxious state where I can go as well as I can...
