Don't call me Master, call me Director

After the establishment of this group, Johnny and Xingyue will be in charge of song production in turn, and the two companies will also be responsible for the performances.

Then this group will make its debut performance from the Tokyo Dome and start a national tour, trying to build this group into a national male idol group.

The first reaction when I saw this project was that Johnny was making an April Fool's Day joke with himself.

In the whole project, except Xingyue is also responsible for composing songs, and Shinji is going to make movies for the idols, all other resources are used by Johnny's.

In this case, isn't it good for Johnny to train artists and make money on his own?To actually take the initiative to distribute part of the profits to Xingyue, this is completely different from Johnny's stingy style in the past.

However, if you think about it a little bit, Shinji can guess why Johnny took the initiative to cooperate with him.

In the past few years, Johnny's has not had any good seedlings. There are not many groups that have become popular, but none of them has the potential to become a national boy group like SMAP.

Looking at the whole of Japan, Diarmuid in Shen Erli has the potential to become a Japanese national and even a world-class male idol.

Based on the idea of ​​joining if you can't beat it, it is not so incomprehensible for Johnny to take the initiative to join Ratimu Ludo.

Shen Er believed that with Johnny's style, they must have contacted Diarmuid in private, but it was unsuccessful.

Nor can they succeed.

The relationship between Diarmuid and Shen Er is not just a boss and an employee, it should be a master (Master) and a servant (Servant) relationship (funny).

Of course, Diarmuid is definitely not the only one that Johnny has taken a fancy to. Gilgamesh, Lancelot, and even Cu Chulainn may all be within Johnny's reference range.

As for the other reason why Johnny wanted La Shen Er to join the team, it was probably because of his influence in the European and American entertainment circles.

This can be regarded as an old problem of Japanese companies. Once they become the first in the industry in their own country, they like to expand their overseas business and influence.

And I don’t know if it’s a Feng Shui problem or a racial characteristic. Japanese companies don’t always like to adapt to local conditions when expanding overseas business, but force their own model in their own country.

Shen Er is not interested in Johnny's idea of ​​expanding overseas business, he is more concerned about the influence of the other party who wants to prostitute for nothing.

[Are you treating me like a free labor NPC, or are you taking me for a ride? 】

Matou Shinji picked up the glass and took a sip, his eyes flickering like stars.

Chapter 118 Just Think It Was Bitten by a Dog

With the plan proposed by Johnny, the ones who benefit the most are naturally themselves.

Even trainees don't need training, and they can get a large number of high-quality male stars from Xingyue.

Shen Er is very confident in his heroic actors, as long as Johnny develops them a little bit, he will definitely become the brightest star in the world's [shì] entertainment circle.

Compared with Johnny's earning a lot of money, Shen Er's side can earn a lot of money, not to say that there is not much, but there is really not much.

Once the construction of "Fuyuki Hollywood" is completed, Er Ye really doesn't like the little money earned by male idols.

Although the heroic male idols trained by Johnny can pretend to be cool and handsome more easily, it will not help their acting skills.

For Shen Er, this project is essentially to rent his own actors to Johnny, and then get a sum of money.

Shen Er tapped his fingers on the table, this is his habitual action of thinking.

No one on Johnny's side said anything, they were all quietly waiting for Shen Er to make a decision.

[It seems that some of my actions have misunderstood them. 】

Shinji smiled to himself.

He probably sold the photos of Gilgamesh and Diarmuid by himself, making Johnny think that he had the idea of ​​entering the idol world.

But in fact, it would be a lie to say that Shen Er has no interest in idols at all, but he values ​​the publicity that idols can bring more than the profits that the idol industry can bring.

In fact, if it had been two years earlier, Shen Er would definitely not have rejected Johnny's proposal, and would have even taken the initiative to give up the profit.

At that time, neither he nor the Heroic Spirit actors were very famous, and it would be great to have Johnny to help expose them.

Although the heroic spirits cannot leave Fuyuki City, there are also many means of Internet and TV publicity these days.

But now...

The Fuyuki City studio has been built, and Shinji, as a director, has won the box office championship in film history (Erye himself thinks this record is boring), and the actors of Heroic Spirit have also gained popularity through Fate.

In this way, Johnny's project is really tasteless.

The most important thing is that the heroic spirits of Shinji's family can't leave Fuyuki City.

Although, probably·maybe·seemly·perhaps·Maybe, the Heroic Spirits may leave Fuyuki City in the future, but isn't it impossible now?

Isn't it funny that the core members of an idol group going on a national tour can't leave Fuyuki City?

It doesn't necessarily mean that the concert will be a 3D projection like the Hatsune Miku concert, right?

"This combination actually has a lot of possibilities. However, there are also many things that need to be overcome and discussed."

After lowering his head and thinking for a long time, Shen Er slowly said: "I don't know how much Genis cares about this project?"

Even though he knew in his heart that the plan would not work, Shen Er did not refuse in a hurry.

Let the other party ask for something from you before you can make an offer.

So Shen Er smiled charmingly at the two old men: "Since Grandpa Kitagawa is so cautious in presenting the plan, you should have something to say?"

"Sister, talk to Matou-kun." Mr. Kitagawa nodded.

Fujishima Yasuko took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "That's right, Matou-kun. You also know that our Johnny wants to expand our influence..."

"Any Japanese company will attach great importance to projects to expand overseas business and influence." Shinji said slowly.

Of course, Shinji himself is not optimistic about the practice of Japanese companies pushing their own business models.

KFC and McDonald's will adjust their recipes according to the tastes of each country. How can you Japanese companies think that their recipes can be eaten all over the world?

Yasuko Fujishima smiled and put a high hat on Shinji: "Matou-kun is the world's number one director at the box office, he has already opened up the world market, and he never knew that our other Japanese entertainment companies want to gain recognition from the European and American markets. How difficult."

[Sorry, I don't want to know at all. 】

In Shen Er's view, these Japanese companies are simply sick. Instead of trying to develop the European and American markets, why not go to Rabbit to develop the market.

It should be known that as both East Asian countries, the generation gap between Rabbit and Japan is small, and it is more suitable for the model of Japanese companies.

And at this time, the rabbit market is in a stage of rapid development, which is the best opportunity for Japanese companies to seize the market.

However, just one pirated version made most Japanese cultural companies give up the rabbit market.

Of course, Shen Er will not advocate the theory that piracy is beneficial. He has always believed that only a formal copyright environment can promote the development of the market.

But what he cannot deny is that the standardization of copyright in a market needs to be cultivated, and it is a gradual process.

Before the 50s, the world's largest piracy market was the United States, the largest copyright market today.

Japanese companies' practice of not cultivating the market because of piracy is undoubtedly a waste of food because of choking.

Thinking of this, Shinji shook his head slightly.

For Johnny, who regards the portrait rights of his artists as more important than his life, it is absolutely impossible to enter the current rabbit market.

Seeing Shen Er shaking his head, Fujishima Yasuko thought he was dissatisfied with his plan.

She hurriedly said: "Mr. Matong, our Johnny is very good at male idol affairs, but in some areas, we are not as good as you."

Matou Shinji nodded.

Indeed, as the brain of Xingyue company, Shen Er's influence in the international entertainment market is much higher than that of Johnny's.

Among other things, his influence on the British media alone is enough to make most Japanese companies bow their heads.

As long as Shinji agrees, a considerable part of the British media will praise Johnny's within a week.

Not to mention that these promotions can make European and American audiences remember Johnny, just because Johnny uses these reports to promote a wave in Japan, it can greatly increase Johnny's income and influence.

Of course, this is the lowest level of cooperation, high-end cooperation, just like Shinji and Bandai, matchmaking to channels, allowing them to directly open up the situation in the European and American markets.

This is also why Johnny attaches great importance to Shen Er, even if he offends him repeatedly, he will hold back his anger.

After all, in Japan, it is difficult for any company or individual to bring more benefits and more influence to Johnny's.

But if you want to enter the European and American markets, there are really not many forces in Japan that can really help.

Especially in the field of entertainment, that's even less.

You must know that the entertainment circles in all countries and the world have their own awareness of local protection, and it is difficult for outsiders to intervene.

The only exception is Rabbit, a place where people from all over the world are welcome to make money.

And even rabbits have the so-called domestic schedule protection month, let alone other countries and regions.

Well, North America in this world is another exception.

It's just that even in the robust leek field in North America, the leeks from outsiders must be approved by the vegetable farmers (North American companies).

It can be said that looking at the entire Japanese entertainment industry, the second master is really a scorpion shit—one (poison) one.

Both Mr. Kitagawa and Yasuko Fujishima knew that they needed the support of the young man in front of them for the next plan.

But Shen Er is not optimistic about this plan at all.

Even if there is no restriction on the venue for the heroic spirits, this group idol project itself has many problems.

How should operations be organized?Which one shall prevail?

When there are conflicts in the schedules of group members, which side should focus on the activities?

Which company is the record copyright of this combination?If they are jointly owned, how should the copyright be distributed?

How will the costs be shared and will external financing be required?

How should the revenue share of the concert be distributed? Should Xingyue and Johnny's members share the same percentage?

Even for the convenience of management, do you want to set up a separate company?

And, since it involves global promotion, does the Japanese government need to get involved?

In just a few minutes, the second master thought of countless things that would be discussed in the future.

Therefore, the fact that artists under different agencies unite to form an idol is very small in itself.

In the future, members of the 48-series family will be able to migrate between different groups because the 48-series has a core producer Yasushi Akimoto.

But here, both Johnny and Shinji are so strong that they will not give up the initiative.

Matou Shinji finally came to a conclusion that Johnny's proposal did more harm than good.

Anyway, Shen Er has his own ambitions and goals, he will never allow Johnny to touch his own things.

But well...

Shinji put the plan aside, and tapped lightly with his fingers.

"This project is very interesting. As a member of the Japanese entertainment industry, I feel that I have a responsibility to promote this great project."

Shen Er has long been familiar with the ability of talking about people when he sees people, and talking about people when he sees ghosts.

Although Shen Er never thought of himself as a member of the Japanese entertainment circle, this did not prevent him from using this identity to get close to the people in the complete works.

"However... this business plan involves too much content, and I think it may not be possible to discuss a result in the short term. So..."

Shinji glanced at Nagano Hiroshi, his purpose was self-evident.

"Of course, this project proposal must be discussed slowly."

Grandpa Kitagawa nodded with a smile, as if he saw the same thing as a hero, but his next words showed his attitude.

"But... the future cooperation will be cooperation, Mr. Jiantong, the remuneration you give Abo must be worthy of his worth?"

Shen Er was still smiling when he heard this, but he was MMP in his heart.

What is a salary worthy of his worth?

It is well known in the industry that you Johnny likes inflated pay!

"The remuneration is 4500 million yen, and V6 will sing the theme song of the movie. The copyright of the song belongs to Johnny."

After pondering for a long time, Shen Er gave his offer.

After a moment of contemplation, Mr. Kitagawa made his own request: "This agreement is fine, but how about increasing the salary to 8000 million yen?"

[Really nimahei! 】

Shen Er who cursed in his heart got up and raised his glass to the old man: "Then, happy cooperation."

Cursing to scolding, Shen Er understood that this was probably Johnny's final offer.

Fighting again may lower the price a bit, but it will also leave the impression of a chicken stomach.
