Chapter 119: Yoshihisa Inoue
After the rainstorm, the sky is clear.
Lin Hai stood outside the airport fence with an umbrella, watching the plane full of relief supplies climb into the sky.
"Is it worth it?"
Rika walked up to him and handed him a bottle of warm mineral water.
Lin Hai took the mineral water bottle and said with a smile: "The money is too easy, and it won't be a pity to spend it." β
"That's not what I mean. Rika said: "You gave the money, but the reputation was won by this government, don't you feel unwilling?"
"It's just a vain reputation. Lin Hai said and looked at Rika Nomi: "I'm sorry, I've worked hard for you these days, thank you." β
Rika looked at Lin Hai, and the longer she was in contact, the more she felt that she couldn't see through him.
One billion yen, if you say donate, you can donate, and it's not something that just anyone can do.
"I still don't understand. Is it bad to donate directly, is it necessary to make such trouble?"
"Hmm. β
Lin Hai replied vaguely, reluctant to talk more about this issue.
What can be said?
Say you don't trust individual cΔo) Shou?
β¦β¦
Lin Hai's trip to the UK went smoothly, and the prize money was about the same as he expected, about 5 million pounds after tax deduction, which is equivalent to about 1.1 billion yuan. Leaving 100 million yen, Lin Hai used the rest of the money for the procurement of disaster relief materials.
In July, heavy rains fell in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and flood control and rescue efforts were urgent.
At this time, Lin Hai has two options: either donate directly - if he is lucky, it will probably be used in the post-disaster reconstruction, or participate in the ongoing flood relief in the form of material assistance.
Lin Hai chose the latter without hesitation.
Lin Hai knows very well that what the country lacks now is not money, but materials, and at this time, even one more life jacket may be able to save one more life.
For this reason, when Lin Hai was still in the UK, he contacted Wu Rujun by phone, and through him, he connected with Keizo Obuchi, who is currently serving as foreign minister.
Keizo Obuchi has devoted himself to repairing Sino-Chinese relations in recent years, and was invited to visit China last year, which can be regarded as a "pro-China faction."
Of course, he is still a politician at heart.
Lin Hai knew very well what the politician wanted, and threw out the bait that the other party couldn't refuse-
200 million yen in political donations, in exchange for the other party to facilitate "in the name of this government, to provide relief materials worth 800 million yen to Huaxia." β
Of course, the money is all from Lin Hai.
In this way, Keizo Obuchi got real money, and this government gained international reputation, and this kind of multi-kill thing cannot be refused by any politician who has no head in the water.
Of course, Lin Hai also has demands.
He has only one requirement - fast.
No way, although Ben has a large reserve of disaster relief materials, it is not something that can be bought if you want to.
Moreover, if it is through conventional channels, Linhai needs to register a trading company, open up all links, go through complex procedures, procurement, approval, and shipment...... By the time the supplies were brought back to China, the daylilies were cold.
You said to go back to China to purchase?
Thinking about the you may encounter, it is better to donate directly.
β¦β¦
Judging from the results, Lin Hai not only did not
lost, and even earned.
Under the operation of Keizo Obuchi, the government actually provided free air transportation services, which surprised Lin Hai, who was ready to be slaughtered.
As for the quantity of materials, Lin Hai is not worried, after all, it is an "official righteous act", and the media all over the world are staring at it.
If I had to say it, Lin Hai only lost his reputation.
But is it important to have a reputation?
β¦β¦
"Fame can sometimes be a burden. β
While on the phone with his father, Lin Hai said his true thoughts.
"Donations are a righteous act, but not an obligation, but there are many people who like to equate the amount of donations with sincerity, and don't want to be scolded later, so they have to keep a low profile. β
"Looks like you're not too stupid. β
Lin Yuanhang received a call from Lin Hai and wanted to educate him, but he was educated by him instead, and he was very unhappy.
What made him even more unhappy was Lin Hai's nouveau riche face.
Yes, Lin Hai called Lin Yuanhang for only one purpose - to show off.
Well, it's boring to be honest.
β¦β¦
Rika Nomi had always felt that Lin Hai's approach was thankless, but by July 24, she found that she was still too naΓ―ve.
On July 24, Keizo Obuchi succeeded Ryutaro Hashimoto as chairman of the self-named party, and it is not surprising that his succession as prime minister is a sure thing.
"You already knew?"
I could see Rika staring at Lin Hai, as if she had rediscovered him.
Lin Hai shook his head with a smile: "How is this possible, I don't know prophecy." β
Seeing that Rika didn't believe it, but she didn't dig into it and asked another question.
"What are you going to do about Kyoko?"
"Kyoko, ......"
Lin Hai felt a headache.
Although Kyoko Fukada did not mention the relationship between the two on the talk show, in the eyes of the public, she and Lin Hai are in a relationship. This made her really lose a lot of fans, and also pulled a lot of hatred for Lin Hai.
The scandal is not important, what matters is Horipro's attitude.
After Kyoko finished the show, Horipro didn't come forward to clarify, as if nothing had happened. However, her other arrangements except for the filming of "God" were canceled, indicating that her approach still angered the office and was refrigerated.
This morning, Lin Hai and Rika Nomi went to Horipro in the hope of convincing the other party to change their decision, but unfortunately, they were closed.
How to help Kyoko, Lin Hai is also at a loss.
Not only that, but she was originally going to star in "Sea Girl", but now there is no drama.
Asking Kyoko Fukada to star in "Sea Girl" can be regarded as a little selfishness of Lin Hai. Of course, although Kyoko's acting skills are not good, her personality and role are naturally compatible, and Ben is good at swimming, if she plays the starring role, at least the diving scene will not have a headache.
Seeing that Rika didn't open which pot to mention, he asked, "If Kyoko can't act, who are you going to invite?"
This is indeed a problem.
The protagonist of "Sea Girl" Amano Aki is a canine beautiful girl full of vitality, and she wants to perform that feeling,
It's not an easy task.
Why don't you invite the leading actor in her previous life, Reina Neng?
Come on, that kid is only five years old now......
β¦β¦
Lin Hai pondered for a while, then suddenly patted his head and said in annoyance: "Why did you forget her!"
Rika Nomi asked, "Who?"
"Ryoko Hirosue. β
β¦β¦
Ryoko Hirosue is the most suitable actor Lin Hai can think of to play in "The Sea Girl".
First of all, she is a beauty.
This seems to be nonsense, after all, there are few actresses who are not beautiful.
But is Ryoko Hirosue's beauty a natural beauty β or is it more appropriate to be close to the people?
Someone said this about her-
"At first glance, it looks like an ordinary girl who can be seen anywhere, but when you look closely, it's so unusual. β
All in all, she naturally has an affinity that belongs to the girl next door, and it is only fitting that she will star in an all-age morning drama like "Sea Girl"!
Lin Hai thought of this and asked Rika, do you know which office Ryoko Hirosue is?
Rika shook her head.
Lin Hai thought about it seriously and picked up the phone.
"Anti-machi senior, excuse me, I'm Lin Hai. β
β¦β¦
In the eyes of outsiders, Lin Hai and Takashi Anti-Machi should be in an incompatible state now, but in fact, the relationship between the two is not bad.
When there was a song change turmoil before, the anti-town also called Lin Hai to explain the reason. The change of the theme song was made by someone else in order to shoot Kenichiro Nozaki's horse, and the anti-Machi Takashi who was the party did not know.
To be honest, he was also cheated.
"Poison" was originally scheduled to release a single at the end of this month, but now that something happened, the release plan had to be abandoned.
Through this incident, Lin Hai saw the boldness of the anti-town Takashi. He was not angry with Lin Hai, but explained Lin Hai and asked him not to take this matter to heart. This kind of quality is really valuable in the deceitful entertainment industry, you must know that some artists can hate each other for a lifetime just because of their shirts.
"So, what are you calling me for? Let's say it first, don't talk about it if you ask me, Nozaki-san has the grace of knowing me, and I won't betray Yanyin no matter what. β
"I just wanted to inquire personally. β
"Who?"
"Ryoko Hirosue. β
"Isn't it, you already have Kyoko Fukada, and you won't even let go of Ryoko Hirosue?"
"Uh, senior, you're really kidding......"
"Haha, no kidding, did you ask Ryoko Hirosue if she wanted to film with her?"
"Yes. β
"I'm not talking about you, you're taking a big step. Forget it, if you're going to toss, I'll support you mentally. But if you plan to film with her, you must be mentally prepared. β
"What do you mean?"
"That girl's character is difficult to get along with, no, to be precise, Ge is a bit weird, and I guess only her agent can tolerate her...... Speaking of which, it's the first time I've seen a girl who can treat me and that guy from Takeno as air. β
All right
That last sentence is the point.
As of now, the "man I want to marry the most" is not Takuya Kimura, but Yutaka Takenouchi. It is indeed not easy for Ryoko Hirosue to treat this "first handsome" as air.
But then again, I'm afraid the truth is that the anti-town went to tease the girl, but it was ignored, and Yutaka Takeno or something, purely innocent lying on the gun.
The anti-machi had to continue, and Lin Hai had to interrupt him.
"Stop, I just want to know which firm she's from. β
"Are you sure an office is willing to take her in?"
Takashi Antimachi made a joke and said, "She and her agent were just swept away not long ago, and they haven't found an office willing to take her in." I've heard that her agent is planning to start her own business, so you might as well get in touch with him, and if you're lucky, you might be able to catch them all. β
After Takashi finished speaking, he gave a phone number.
β¦β¦
After ending the call with Takashi Antimachi, Lin Hai followed the phone number he gave.
"Hello, I'm Lin Hai from RIN Office, is it Mr. Yoshihisa Inoue?"
β¦β¦
Lin Hai's company has been set up as "RIN-Studio", which includes artist brokerage and audio-visual production.
Of course, it's just a vision for now.
At present, there are only three people in the company except Lin Hai, namely Akimi Oshima, Rika Nomi and Yutaka Tanabe. Among them, the president and legal representative are Akimi Oshima, who is not restricted from traveling, but her business activities are not restricted.
Lin Hai's establishment of the company is rarely known except for his sworn friends and enemies, so when he received a call from Lin Hai, Inoue Yoshihisa was completely confused.
βKaiβοΌβ
Inoue Yoshihisa thought about it for a long time, and had no impression of this office or the person opposite.
Lin Hai heard his doubts and explained: "I am Kai is my real name......"
Before Lin Hai finished speaking, Inoue Yoshihisa shouted, "Ah, I know you! Lin Jun who sang "Poison"!"
He paused for a moment and asked, "Is there anything Lin Jun looking for me?"
"I have a play here, I want to invite Miss Ryoko Hirosue to star, if it's convenient, can you meet and talk in detail?"
"Starring?"
"Yes, starring. β
"Hmm......" Inoue hesitated for a moment and asked, "Where is your office?"
Minato-ku Minamiaoyama 1-15-18 γͺγΌγ© Nogizaka 1101. β
Lin posted the address on the poster, and the other party said "Hey?", said "Coming soon", and then hung up the phone.
β¦β¦
Inoue Yoshihisa did come quickly, less than a minute before the call ended, to be exact.
Lin Hai and Rika Nomi were a little dumbfounded, thinking that this guy would not be able to move instantly?
Inoue Yoshihisa said with a smile, "I happened to be downstairs. You may not believe it, I originally took a fancy to this place, but I didn't expect you to take the lead. β
"It turns out that the person the agency said is you!"
forest
Hai found that the two still had fate.
When looking for the location of the company before, Lin Hai fell in love with it at a glance, and when he learned from the real estate agent that there were competitors, he signed the contract without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, that competitor was actually Inoue Yoshihisa.
With a few polite words, Lin Hai asked Inoue Yoshihisa to sit down.
"Inouue-san plans to rent this place, also to open an office?"
"yes, I even have the name of the office in mind. β
"Oh, what's it called?"
βFLaMmeγ β
"Shining like a young leaf?"
"Yes, you can actually guess the meaning, it's not easy!"
Inoue Yoshihisa was surprised, but he had a good impression of Lin Hai.
Guess?
Inexistent.
Lin Hai thought to himself, it would be hellish if he could guess the meaning of this weird-looking firm.
As for how he knows, he still needs to ask, it is clearly written on the official website of FLaMme in his previous life.
β¦β¦
Just hearing the name Inoue Yoshihisa, Lin Hai is not impressed, but if you want to say FLaMme, Lin Hai still knows.
In the previous life, FLaMme was a firm specializing in the management of female artists.
In addition to Ryoko Hirosue, its famous artists also include Kato Koyuki, Toda Megumi Rika and so on......
Lin Hai thought about it carefully and found that most of these artists mixed well, and most importantly, these actresses have achieved "freedom of marriage and love".
This is unimaginable for artists from other firms.
As everyone knows, Ben's agency takes a strict attitude towards the marriage and love of artists, especially popular artists. Do you want to fall in love, do you want to get married? Yes, wait until you're done!
And FLaMme's artists can be called living in a honey pot in this regard.
Don't talk about others, just talk about Ryoko Hirosue, who went in and out of the entertainment industry, and changed to other firms, she would have been put in the cold palace a long time ago.
β¦β¦
Lin Hai chatted with Inoue Yoshihisa for a while, and found that his business philosophy was very temperamental, and Inoue did not treat artists as money-making tools, but as living people.
During the chat, Inoue Yoshihisa also mentioned the reason why he was swept away.
Ryoko has talent, but her psychological quality is not very good, and she has been under a lot of pressure since the broadcast of "Beach Boy". I wanted her to get more time off, but she fell out with the office and was kicked out. β
After Inoue Yoshihisa was swept away, Ryoko Hirosue followed suit and withdrew from the original office, making it clear that she would never abandon Inoue.
There is pride and emotion in Inoue's words.
Lin Jun is also an artist, and it should be clear that when the artist's mental pressure is too great, the performance effect will be greatly reduced. Ryoko's acting talent is very high, and if she continues to be squeezed as an idol, her aura will soon disappear, and it would be a pity to become like that...... To be honest, there are not many job opportunities that I can help her contact now, but she is still willing to follow me, in this case, I have to take care of her, I hope Lin Jun can understand......"
"I understand. β
Lin Hai nodded and said, "Regarding the details of the TV series, I will talk to you in detail later, before that, I have a request-"
"What?"
"Inoue-san join my office!"
"Huh?"
β¦β¦
Before meeting Inoue Yoshihisa, Lin Hai was only interested in Ryoko Hirosue, but now he is even more interested in Inoue Yoshihisa.
An agent who will treat the artist as a child's pet, no matter how bad it is, it will not be bad, and such a person will be damned if he does not pull him into his chariot.
"I'm not trying to hire you. Exactly, I want you to be my partner......"
Lin Hai elaborated on his business philosophy, expressing his willingness to give up some of his shares, and at the same time, to give Inoue enough autonomy in the company's affairs.
It can be seen that Inoue is very excited.
Lin Hai didn't give him more time to think, and directly stretched out his hand-
"Come on, change this entertainment industry with me!"
β¦β¦
Many years later, Inoue Yoshihisa wrote these words in his memoirs -
"Lin Jun is better than any young man I've ever met. In addition to his outstanding talent, he also has a deep insight into the various shortcomings in the entertainment industry at that time, and he also has the courage and confidence to change everything. When he said, 'Change the entertainment industry with me', I could feel that he really believed that he could do it, so I didn't hesitate to agree...... It turned out to be the best decision I've ever made in my life...... When I wrote this paragraph, Lin Jun had already fulfilled his promise, no, he has not only changed the entertainment industry, he is still trying to change the world in his own way, I have to say that it is really a happy thing to be able to experience all this with him......"
β¦β¦
Lin Hai didn't know what Inoue Yoshihisa was doing, but Inoue Yoshihisa shook his hand, proving that he was convinced.
"Next, please take care of me!"
Inoue Yoshihisa said.
