Chapter 495: Kiyoshi Sakamoto's Multiple Identities
Since its founding in 1959, Weekly Bunharu has become a benchmark for gossip magazines in Japan, focusing on political issues, economic issues, corporate issues, bureaucratic or politician donation scandals, scandals involving entertainers, and murders.
And what is the special issue?
A special issue refers to an issue or edition edited by a newspaper or publication to commemorate a certain holiday, event, person, etc.
The most typical example is the New Year's Day or New Year's special issue.
Among them, the special issue of the character is rarely issued, and only the person who has reached a certain level of popularity, and something major happens, the publishing house will include it in the layout of the special issue.
In the long history of circulation of 50 years, except for the special New Year's issues that must be published every year, Weekly Bunharu has only issued very few special issues of people, and most of them are special issues about politicians or emperors.
So far, the only person in the entertainment industry who can let Wenchun publish a special issue alone is the Kimura god who got married and made a fuss...
However, this unprecedented record was broken by Kiyoshi Sakamoto on February 2.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who has multiple identities, such as writer, haiyu, singer, composer, lyricist, music producer, etc., once again revealed another identity of himself on this day.
Sony Music's new Executive Director!
On the cover of the newly released special issue of "Weekly Wenchun", in addition to Kiyoshi Sakamoto's personal high-definition large picture, there are also four big bold characters printed on it.
"Sony Shock!"
In this special issue, we devote a lot of space to how Kiyoshi Sakamoto became the new director of SMEJ and the director of the operations department of SMA!
Not to mention what the magazine is about, the catchy headline alone and the characters on the cover are enough to make the public pull out their wallets and buy a copy.
Because, the cover character of this special issue is Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who is well-known in the country!
Anything, as long as it has a relationship with Sakamoto Kiyoshi, will become the focus of the public...
This time was no exception.
As soon as the special issue went on sale, the first shipment of 1 million copies was swept away in just two hours!
The explosive sales made the editor-in-chief of "Weekly Wenchun" smile from ear to ear.
"It's okay, our relationship with Sakamoto-kun is very good... ”
"Otherwise, this exclusive... ”
Wen Chun's special issue is just a fuse.
A fuse that has been hidden for a long time by Kiyoshi Sakamoto, which is constantly exposed!
Wen Chun was the first magazine to report on this, and rightfully became the first person to eat crabs.
Judging from the astonishing sales of more than 2 million copies on the first day, the editor-in-chief of Wenchun immediately felt extremely fortunate that he had always maintained a good relationship with Kiyoshi Sakamoto.
Other gossip newspapers and magazines were very dissatisfied with the fact that they did not receive relevant information.
The editors-in-chief of some newspapers and magazines even fired the entire paparazzi in a fit of rage...
As a gossip newspaper magazine, the first-hand material, that is, the scoop, is very important!
If an exclusive is published again after it has been reported, it is no longer a scoop.
However, even so, other newspapers and magazines had to pinch their noses and publish this news that shocked the whole country.
After all, the meat was eaten by Wen Chun, and they also had to get some soup to drink...
For a time, almost all entertainment newspapers, magazines, and news were reported in a big way, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto became a director of SMEJ.
Just as the general public was thinking about the authenticity of this shocking news, the official website of SONY, as well as the official website of SMEJ, as if they had colluded, issued a statement at the same time.
The statement reads like this:
Kiyoshi Sakamoto, chairman of TOP Investment Company, chairman of Nirvana Records, and artist of SMEJ, officially became a shareholder of SONY, and at the same time served as the executive director of its music business group, SMEJ!
This news shocked the whole of Japan and even the whole world.
Everyone didn't know that Kiyoshi Sakamoto quietly bought the shares of Sony and became a shareholder of Sony!
Not only that, but he also successfully became one of the world's four largest records and the youngest director in the history of Japan's Sony Music Group through "airborne"!
In just a few days, with the unscrupulous media and the powerful paparazzi digging deeply, Sakamoto's various identities in the dark have been constantly exposed.
In addition to the superficial king of the music scene and the super first-line haiyu, the new director of SMEJ, the second largest shareholder of Facebook, the chairman of TOP Investment, the shareholder of Google, the shareholder of Apple, and so on, the dazzling titles have shocked the whole of Japan.
Even, on the just-announced Forbes rich list of Japan, Kiyoshi Sakamoto ranks 20th with a net worth of 16 billion US dollars, and he is also the only billionaire born in the Heisei era on the list!
Only 19 years old!
A series of dumbfounded names, as well as such a huge net worth accumulated at a young age, make countless neon people can't help but ask themselves, "People are billionaires at the age of 19, what am I doing when I'm 19 years old?!"
"the eggs!"
Man is better than man, more dead than ...
Congratulations to Kiyoshi Sakamoto, this wave of exposure has attracted countless jealousies and envy.
Not only that, the media around the world have used more or less space to introduce this youngest shareholder from Asia, Sony, and the first Forbes rich list under the age of 20!
Even the BBC in the UK, the ABC in the US, and the CCXV of the Celestial Empire have reported on this young and promising genius...
In an instant, it got the attention of the whole world, and it stands to reason that Kiyoshi Sakamoto, an "artist" who doesn't want to be stared at all the time, will definitely be disgusted and uncomfortable about this.
However, instead of being distressed by this, he felt very proud.
Because, it was intentional on his part, and, moreover, exactly what he wanted.
WHETHER IT IS PRIVATELY PROVIDING WEN CHUN WITH EXCLUSIVE INFORMATION ABOUT HIMSELF, OR ASKING SONY AND SMEJ TO MAKE STATEMENTS AT THE SAME TIME, IT IS A MOVE HE MADE IN ORDER TO EXPOSE HIS IDENTITY.
In his opinion, many of his identities will definitely not be hidden for long under the deep digging of various forces, so it is better to blow them out by himself and take the opportunity to gain a wave of prestige, which is a good deal.
Only by standing on the cusp of the storm and in the eyes of the world can he no longer be obstructed and suppressed by all sides.
You can even use this to promote a wave, your next move...
Sure enough, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was exposed, instantly became a hot topic in the whole of Japan and even the world.
While the outside world was hotly discussed, the party Sakamoto Kiyoshi came to SMA in Shinagawa District.
This is the first time he has been to this familiar building since becoming a director of SMEJ and director of SMA's operations department.
Standing in front of the building, he looked up, the towering building, Sakamoto Kiyoshi was proud in his heart, "The first step to dominate the entertainment industry starts here!"
Under the flattering smile of the young lady at the front desk, Kiyoshi Sakamoto walked into the VIP elevator dedicated to the management.
Just a dozen seconds later, the elevator stopped on the twelfth floor.
Stepping out of the elevator, under the leadership of the president's secretary, who had been waiting for a long time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto came to the outside of the conference room.
"Director Sakamoto, the president, and everyone are waiting for you inside. ”
Smiling lightly at the secretary's young lady, Kiyoshi Sakamoto pushed open the door of the conference room and walked in...
