Chapter 501: Coming to Janis Again
After a meal, Kiyoshi Sakamoto got his teacher done.
Originally, this was just a trivial matter for Masaharu Fukuyama.
Although hearing Takuya Kimura's name made his brows wrinkle slightly.
However, he is not such a stingy person.
Moreover, on the part of the firm...
As a shareholder of Amuse, does he still need to ask the office for instructions to help his students stand on a platform?
Of course not!
Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Masaharu Fukuyama agreed to Kiyoshi Sakamoto's invitation.
And Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who got the promise of Masaharu Fukuyama on the spot, was also very happy to keep putting beef in his bowl.
Masaharu Fukuyama was also smiling, and at the same time accepted Kiyoshi Sakamoto's dedication as a matter of course.
As for the other judge that Kiyoshi Sakamoto is going to invite, it is not as easy as Masaharu Fukuyama.
Masaharu Fukuyama doesn't mind sharing the stage with Takuya Kimura, because he is a shareholder of Amuse and has a certain amount of autonomy to do and not do what he does not have to follow the firm's orders.
However, Takuya Kimura is different.
In the "male empire" of Genesys, no one can disobey a person's orders, even Genesys's darling, Takuya Kimura...
That's the master of the empire, old man Kitagawa!
Takuya Kimura's order not to share the stage with Masaharu Fukuyama can be said to have been formulated by the old man Kitagawa himself.
Just to prevent Takuya Kimura from being threatened by the lofty status of "Japanese drama king" and "Japan's first brother".
Therefore, if Kiyoshi Sakamoto wants to invite Takuya Kimura to become a judge for the final selection of the SMA selection meeting, he must first pass the pass of Old Man Kitagawa!
It was with this in mind that Kiyoshi Sakamoto walked into the Genesys office building in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo.
This is Kiyoshi Sakamoto's second time in two years that he has stepped into the Genesys office.
The last time he appeared here, it was to start the alliance between Genesy and Sony, and this time, he wanted to ask this "ally" for a little help for the development of SMA...
The boss of Genesys is not something you can see casually.
Sakamoto Kiyoshi also made an appointment in advance, so he was able to meet the entertainment bigwig who controls the entire men's idol market, Old Man Kitagawa, on the afternoon of February 4th.
"Long time no see, Sakamoto-kun... Oh no! I should call you now, Director Sakamoto... ”
The old man sitting in the huge office teased Kiyoshi Sakamoto.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was sitting on the sofa, also showed a helpless expression and replied, "Johnny-san, long time no see." ”
"Don't laugh at me, you say this, I'm a small body, but I can't stand it... ”
"Hahaha... ”
"Energetic? I've been hearing a lot about YOU lately... Old man Kitagawa got up from his office chair and sat down on the sofa opposite Kiyoshi Sakamoto, "I heard that YOU have become the executive director of Sony?"
"Uh, yes, it's not a big deal, I'm sorry for you... ”
In the conversation with Kitagawa, Kiyoshi Sakamoto did not dare to relax at all.
Who knows, inadvertently, his own words will make this moody old man unhappy.
Even this old man, who has always been very friendly to him...
However, this time Sakamoto Kiyoshi came to ask for something.
If he is upset, then the matter of inviting Takuya Kimura will definitely be in vain.
This is bound to be a blow to Kiyoshi Sakamoto's plan.
Therefore, in the following time, Sakamoto Kiyoshi followed Kitagawa's words, constantly nodding yes, and taking a sentence or two from time to time, so that Kitagawa Longyan was flattered.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto has been in the entertainment industry for so long, and his ability to talk to people and talk about ghosts has also been trained.
I don't know if I've always had an inexplicable liking for Sakamoto Kiyoshi, or because today's Sakamoto Kiyoshi, even if he becomes the executive director of Sony, he still maintains the respect of the juniors in front of him, and Kitagawa's perception of him is better than before.
This can be seen from the smile on his face from time to time.
And seeing that the atmosphere was so harmonious, Sakamoto Kiyoshi also took the opportunity to say his purpose for coming this time.
"Oh?YOU want that guy Kimura to be the judge of your selection meeting?" Kitagawa's slightly cloudy eyes suddenly flashed a trace of essence, "By the way, there is more than one judge of the selection meeting, right?"
Here it comes!
Sakamoto Kiyoshi's heart was as if he was caught by a big hand and lifted up.
"Next, the real test!"
Before coming to Genesys, Kiyoshi Sakamoto had thought about what the biggest difficulty of this trip was.
Without thinking too much, he came up with the answer.
That is, how to get Janis to agree to let the "tiger" of Takuya Kimura and the "tiger" of Masaharu Fukuyama appear on the same mountain!
After all, "one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers", this is an iron rule that has lasted for many years.
However, because of the plan of "selection meeting", it can be said to be the first shot for Sakamoto Kiyoshi's entire operation plan, which is very important.
Therefore, Kiyoshi Sakamoto also made it early, and prepared at all costs in order to get Kitagawa to agree.
Iron rules are used to be broken!
Kiyoshi Sakamoto cheered up and replied cautiously, "That's right, there is indeed more than one judge of the selection meeting, and it is scheduled to be three. ”
"One is me, the Director of Operations at SMA. ”
"The other one is a shareholder of Amuse and my teacher, Masaharu Fukuyama. ”
"And the last one,It's for Kimura-san.,Prepared... ”
"Oh?!This lineup of judges of yours is very strong... Old man Kitagawa was a little surprised, "This idea of YOU, it really makes people have to give a thumbs up... ”
"To tell you the truth, what I had in mind was to take advantage of the high popularity of the three of us of all ages to attract young people from all over the country to participate in this audition. ”
"After all, the three national male gods are the judges, and there is only this one, and there is no other branch... ”
"So, I don't know if your opinion is... ”
Looking at the cautious Sakamoto Kiyoshi, Kitagawa suddenly felt that the young man in front of him had grown a lot after soaking in the big dye vat of the entertainment industry for a few years.
The skills of speaking are more abundant, and the feeling of maturity is also mature, especially when talking and laughing, giving people a feeling of spring breeze, which is even more valuable.
This made him look forward to the future of Sakamoto Kiyoshi even more.
"In the end, how far will this little guy grow?"
