April 8, 2006, 2 p.m.

A large venue in the Sony Record Building, at this time, welcomed a bunch of rare guests.

A press corps of more than 200 people gathered here to prepare a press conference for Sony Records.

In the venue.

The huge space filled with seats was filled with reporters from newspapers, magazines, and online media, all of whom were talking in low voices, and the whole venue was chaotic, like a vegetable market.

"Senior, do you think Sony is holding this press conference this time?" A young man who looked very young with a press card first looked around and then asked in a low voice to the senior of the newspaper who was sitting next to him.

The look of looking around, like a college student who has just come out of society, is so inexperienced, and looks at everything with curiosity.

"Yaga, what do you think? Of course, it's because of Sakamoto Kiyoshi!" and sitting next to him, a middle-aged man he called "senior", taught the young man in a very calm and instructive tone.

This middle-aged man, even indoors, is wearing a fisherman's hat and a camera vest, which makes people know that this is definitely not a paparazzi or a reporter.

That's right, this partner who has a sense of déjà vu with the old bird and the rookie is a reporter from a well-known entertainment newspaper.

Because Kiyoshi Sakamoto revealed on the MS live broadcast that he was going to take a vacation for half a year, stop all performing arts activities, and concentrate on his studies, which made the entire entertainment industry a storm in an instant.

After the MS live broadcast, on the Internet, in the mainstream media, and in entertainment newspapers and magazines, there was news about Kiyoshi Sakamoto's "holiday incident".

All kinds of public opinion, all kinds of speculation, are appearing in front of the public's eyes.

There is a conspiracy theory that has risen again, and this group of people are mainly loyal fans of Sakamoto Kiyoshi, who believe that the reason why Sakamoto Kiyoshi said in the live broadcast that he was ready to rest for half a year is because Sony once again "squeezed Sakamoto's body dry"

This remark is also in Sakamoto Kiyoshi's fan base, which is very marketable, after all, when Sakamoto Kiyoshi debuted in the early days, it was because of Sony's hard squeezing that he fainted, and Sony has a criminal record!!

But, how to put it, this statement is only half true.

This time, although it was also because of physical problems, I would take a leave of absence for half a year, but the nature of this time was different from the last time.

Last time, it was because Sony ignored Sakamoto Kiyoshi's physical condition and crushed him with work, causing Sakamoto Kiyoshi to rest for a while and be in the hospital...

And this time, it was Sony's senior management who found out that Sakamoto Kiyoshi was in a physical condition, coupled with Sakamoto Kiyoshi's request, and immediately let Sakamoto Kiyoshi take a vacation for a period of time, this time on his own initiative.

And the last time, it was passive.

There is a fundamental difference between the two.

In addition to this conspiracy theory-like public opinion, there is another public opinion that is more acceptable to the public.

That is, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is preparing to quit the showbiz!

In other words, it is very likely that Kiyoshi Sakamoto will not return to the showbiz after this holiday.

This hypothetical made many fans of Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN feel desperate.

The original publisher of this public opinion was not a fan of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, but a group of Sakamoto Hei.

They want to spread rumors to impact Sakamoto Kiyoshi's fame and popularity, so as to achieve their goal of discrediting Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

Therefore, in addition to spreading rumors that Kiyoshi Sakamoto is preparing to quit the showbiz, they also spread brainless rumors that Kiyoshi Sakamoto is "promiscuous in high school", "pedals on more than a dozen boats", "has a very bad personality and likes to play big names" and so on.

Although, rumors stop at the wise, but often there are too few smart people in the world, and the world is basically some laymen who blindly follow the trend...

Therefore, these rumors have also won the trust of some people, and a small number of Sakamoto Kiyoshi fans have begun to withdraw from the fan club, and some have also posted pictures of themselves burning Sakamoto Kiyoshi's album on the Internet, and a wind of "inverting Sakamoto" is slowly forming unconsciously.

However, Sony's response was not slow, and seeing these heated public opinions, the public relations department played a role at this time.

Sony immediately released an announcement letter on its official website, which denied the slander and smear of Kiyoshi Sakamoto in today's society, and in the letter, Sony also repeatedly denied the rumors that Kiyoshi Sakamoto quit the showbiz.

At this moment, Sony's huge machine was launched.

First, I contacted the media I knew and asked them to suppress all the news about slander and smearing Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Then, through the vast number of connections, the entertainment news broadcast by the TV station was withdrawn from the news about Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

In the end, looking at the increasingly fierce public opinion, Sony decided to hold a press conference, directly at the press conference, to clarify the "leave incident".

These public relations responses are all Sakamoto Kiyoshi turned off his mobile phone, during the period of sleeping, Sony made a rapid response in half a day.

After learning that Sony's public relations handling ability is so powerful, Sakamoto Kiyoshi can't help but give them a little thumbs up.

However, when he knew that he would also attend this press conference, Sakamoto Kiyoshi refused at first.

However, after hearing Naoki Kitagawa say something flirtatious, he agreed to the request to attend the press conference.

The phrase is, "If you don't go, there will be no holiday." ”

Sakamoto Kiyoshi, who heard this, had no choice but to follow Yuichi Yamada and attend this press conference together.

。。。。。。

The camera returns to the press conference again.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto followed Yuichi Yamada and walked into the venue of the press conference from the side door of the venue with a smile on his face.

Suddenly, a large number of flashing lights flashed in the venue, accompanied by the sound of pressing the shutter one after another.

And the middle-aged reporter of the "old bird" who was teaching his junior newspaper a lesson just now stood up suddenly, and with a very skillful technique, he held his single-lens reflex camera, and kept pressing the shutter in the direction of Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Because there were too many reporters at the scene, and in order to take clearer photos, they all stood up from their chairs, blocking the view of their peers behind them by the way, so this "old bird" could only get up from the chair, hold the camera high, and shoot Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

The "rookie" young man sitting next to him, at this time, seemed to be stunned, sitting on the chair in a daze, at a loss, not knowing what he should do.

Seeing his partner's bewildered face, the "old bird" grabbed the collar of the "rookie" and shouted loudly, "Rookie, pick up your camera and !!shoot!

Because,The screams at the scene are very noisy.,Everywhere is "Sakamoto-kun, please take a look" "Sakamoto-kun, look over here", if you don't shout loudly, maybe the "rookie" can't hear what you're saying, so, Jiang is still old and spicy...

After being reminded by his senior, the newcomer remembered that he seemed to have come to shoot Sakamoto Kiyoshi, so he also stood up with hindsight, picked up the camera, and shot wildly at Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

It's a pity that at this time, he has missed the best time to shoot, because Sakamoto Kiyoshi is already sitting on the seat on the stage, and the whole body photo is gone.

In the end, the "rookie" could only sit down unwillingly.

"So, now, please sit down and the press conference is ready to begin. As soon as the Sony spokesman's voice fell, all the reporters immediately sat down.

Looking at the neat movements, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was sitting at the press conference seat facing the reporter and the camera, was also a little surprised.

"Wow, is the discipline of the reporters so good now? the movements are so consistent, and besides, they are really obedient when they say they sit down... ”

However, what he didn't know was that the reporters were so obedient because they wanted the press conference to start as soon as possible, so that they could get the news about him in the first place.

Without further ado, the press conference officially began.

First of all, Yuichi Yamada, who represents the top management of Sony Records, set the tone for this press conference.

"The purpose of our Sony Records holding this press conference is to clarify and explain the social public opinion caused by the statements made by our Sony artist Kiyoshi Sakamoto on MS Live. ”

"So, first of all, I'm here, on behalf of us at Sony Records, to say to the public that we will always stand behind our artists and support him. As for all the smears and slanders about Kiyoshi Sakamoto in the society, they are slander, and we will reserve the right to pursue legal responsibility to these people who publish inappropriate remarks!"

"Well, now, friends from the media, if you have any questions, you can start raising your hand to ask questions. Thank you. ”

Yuichi Yamada's domineering words shocked the reporters at the scene, and they all saw from Yamada's attitude how tough Sony's supportive attitude towards Kiyoshi Sakamoto was this time.

It seems that Kiyoshi Sakamoto is not preparing to quit the entertainment industry as rumored. The "old bird" sitting in the press gallery muttered to himself while touching his messy chin and beard.

The "rookie", who was sitting next to him and had been paying attention to his newspaper predecessors, also heard the murmur of the "old bird" and asked curiously.

"Hmm, senior, why do you say that? Kiyoshi Sakamoto hasn't spoken yet, how can you be sure so quickly that he won't quit the showbiz?"

"Yaga, did you hear what Sony's representative said?"

"Well, so what?"

"This director Yamada made a statement at the beginning of the press conference. And the words are full of tough attitudes, full of support, which proves that Sony still attaches great importance to Sakamoto Kiyoshi, so why does he attach so much importance to him in this situation?"

"Uh... ”

Because, this time he is really just on vacation, not quitting the showbiz. All in all, he's still Sony's baby!!"
