Chapter 676: Rising instead of Falling
The entertainment industry is a hotbed of gossip and a circle where interests come first.
In many cases, profit drives people forward.
Whether it's the good or the bad.
For the media, the headlines, the amazing inside information, and the eye-catching rumors all represent a surge in magazine sales, newspaper sales, and website views.
That is, the embodiment of "profit".
Therefore, the first major event that caused a sensation in the entertainment industry in 2011, the "Gakki Job Hopping Incident", has received the attention of almost all entertainment media in Japan.
Everyone wants to get a piece of the pie ...
Even "Weekly Wenchun", which included Sakamoto Kiyoshi in the white list of not reporting, sent someone to ask Sakamoto Kiyoshi about his attitude, to see if he could also report this matter, and by the way, rub some traffic or something.
In this regard, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is also indispensable.
Anyway, it's not a scandal to see.
What's more, the addition of "Weekly Wenchun" will only give Sakamoto Kiyoshi a very influential helper and microphone in the media.
Therefore, in addition to revealing some of the relevant inside stories of this matter to "Wenchun", Sakamoto Kiyoshi also invited "Wenchun" in advance to participate in the press conference a few days later.
And this press conference is exactly the measure taken by Sakamoto Kiyoshi in order to put an end to all kinds of discussions and rumors in the past week.
To this end, in the name of SMA, Kiyoshi Sakamoto sent invitations to almost all the media involved in this "job-hopping turmoil", inviting them to participate in this grand press conference.
。。。
January 18th, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, SMA Headquarters Building.
In the venue of the press conference that has been arranged, many reporters are looking forward to it.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the door on the side of the venue, waiting for the owner to appear.
Didn't make them wait long, the door was pushed open.
The leader is the actual person in charge of the current SMA, Kiyoshi Sakamoto.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was wearing a blue and black striped suit, walked into the venue under the blinding lights of the scene.
Behind him was not his deputy Hikaru Kitahara, but an unexpected but reasonable person.
A woman.
“gakki!”
A young reporter at the scene also shouted out the woman's nickname.
That's right, that beautiful woman with a proud height and a signature smile is not Yui Aragaki who was at the center of the public opinion storm in the past week, who else?!
As Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Yui Aragaki sat down in turn, the host gave an order, and this much-watched press conference officially began!
As soon as he came up, Kiyoshi Sakamoto first introduced to everyone, Yui Aragaki, who had recently joined the company.
Just like a football club, the president of the club will also bring the new player to a press conference to announce his joining.
The main purpose of this press conference is also the same.
Of course, that's not all...
After a simple welcome ceremony for the artists, the main scene of this press conference was finally staged.
"Next is the Q&A session, please raise your hand and ask questions. ”
As soon as the host's voice fell, all the reporters present raised their hands high, trying to seize this precious opportunity to ask questions.
At the suggestion of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the staff of the public relations department, who served as the host, looked around and finally ordered the reporter of "Weekly Bunharu".
This move also caused a sigh at the scene, and the reporters regretted that they were not selected.
The reporter of "Wenchun", who hung his press card, did not pay attention to the jealous eyes of his peers, but stood up and asked in an orderly manner: "I want to ask Aragaki-san, why did he choose to leave the former office, and did he have an irreconcilable conflict with the office?"
It's a good question to say sharply, but it's also a little aggressive.
It's not easy to answer...
However, this issue is undoubtedly the most concerned by everyone, including the people who eat melons and fans.
This is also the reason why Sakamoto Kiyoshi will discuss with "Weekly Wenchun" and hand over this issue to "Wenchun" to raise.
Because, the answer to this question has long been decided.
Yui Aragaki, who was sitting next to Kiyoshi Sakamoto, first turned her head and glanced at Kiyoshi Sakamoto, and then under Kiyoshi Sakamoto's encouraging eyes, she opened her lips slightly and replied:
"I don't have any conflicts with the firm, President Honma has always been very good to me, and I'm very grateful to the firm for nurturing me...
"I left LesPros just to seek a new challenge and to try a more diverse job. ”
"Why did you choose SMA?" another question was thrown at her.
"Because SMA has my friend, Sakamoto-kun"
。。。
In the face of various questions and pitfalls from reporters, Aragaki Yui's answer was very decent and generous, and it was not like other artists who changed their courts, and they didn't say anything about the various things that did not and did not go to the former office
This made the reporters present feel that something was wrong.
This question and answer, how do you feel, Aragaki Yui seems to have been prepared?
The feelings of the journalists are not their delusions.
Before holding this press conference, Kiyoshi Sakamoto asked the company's people to give Aragaki Yui a drill on the problems and pitfalls that may arise at the press conference.
With psychological preparation and practice in advance, the giant Lori is naturally not a stupid person, how can she say anything at the press conference that someone caught her handle?
The plot of the press conference continued to be staged according to Sakamoto Kiyoshi's prediction in advance.
first introduced Aragaki Yui, and after answering a few questions, Sakamoto Kiyoshi also took the opportunity to announce that he was going to collaborate with Takeshi Kitano on a movie next year.
And the role of the heroine will be played by Yui Aragaki, who has just joined the company!
This news directly pushed the warm atmosphere of the press conference to a climax!
It also shifted everyone's attention from "job hopping" to "new film projects".
As for the accusation from LesPros' "poaching", Kiyoshi Sakamoto fought back at the end of the press conference.
In a strong tone, he condemned LesPros' militarized management and domineering way of doing things, and called it "a stifling of the artist's personal freedom and motivation!"
After all, LesPros' reputation is not good, and Sony has contacted many media outlets to encircle and suppress LesPros.
After the press conference, the image of the victim of LesPros was deeply questioned and hit.
And Honma Ken knew that if he continued like this, it would not do him and LesPros any better, so he had to coax it.
With the admission of Honma Ken, this job-hopping turmoil that was hyped up has also come to an end for the time being.
However, everyone's eyes were once again focused on Yui Aragaki.
Because at the press conference, Kiyoshi Sakamoto announced that he and Takeshi Kitano will collaborate on a movie in 2012, and the heroine will be played by Yui Aragaki in the amazing news.
As a result, the attention of the media was shifted by Kiyoshi Sakamoto from the job-hopping incident to his new film with Takeshi Kitano.
This news also made Aragaki Yui completely unaffected by job hopping, and under the binding effect with Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Takeshi Kitano, her popularity and popularity have risen instead of falling!
