Chapter 368: On the cusp

Kiyoshi Sakamoto's domineering words, as well as between the words, faintly hinted that his goal was the declaration of the three consecutive top of the record awards, all of which were announcing that THE SUN had booked next year's record awards!

This undoubtedly surprised everyone in the new National Theater.

Even Sony's president, Naoki Kitagawa, who was sitting at home and watching the awards ceremony, looked at Kiyoshi Sakamoto on the TV with a look of surprise.

"Sakamoto-kun... Is he ... Crazy?" Kenji Kitagawa, who was sitting on the side, was even more dumbfounded, and it took a long time to hold back such a sentence.

However, Naoki Kitagawa also recovered from his surprise, smiled lightly, and muttered to himself as he looked at the TV with a confident look on his face.

"He is worthy of being the future leader of Sony, and he is the only one who dares to say such domineering words in the entire Sony. ”

"Sure enough, I didn't misread anyone... ”

"Sakamoto-kun,You're really an interesting person... ”

Tokyo, Fukuyama family.

"Poof!"

Masaharu Fukuyama, who has always been gentle and elegant, saw Kiyoshi Sakamoto's speech on TV, and he also squirted out a mouthful of coffee.

Ignoring the coffee that spewed out and staining his carpet, he stood up abruptly, looked at Kiyoshi Sakamoto on the TV in disbelief, and muttered to himself, "Why did I take such a daring guy as a student... ”

However, he pauses when he sees the coffee that has been squirted out by himself and the carpet that has been stained.

A moment later, a cry full of mixed emotions came from inside the house.

"Ah!! my carpet... ”

。。。

Not to mention how surprised the audience in front of the TV was, the audience in the new National Theater was even more shocked.

No one would have thought that Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who has always been polite and humble in front of people, would say such domineering, confident, and even a little arrogant words on such an occasion.

Even Masato Ogawa and Masaki Chiba, who were standing on both sides of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, looked at Kiyoshi Sakamoto in surprise, and they realized that Kiyoshi Sakamoto's face was not as peaceful as usual, but full of sharpness.

The eyebrows that are usually lowered are now raised into the sky;

In the gentle eyes, there are bursts of essence...

The corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, and it could be seen that he was not at peace at the moment.

The two who have known each other for a long time understood a message from Sakamoto Kiyoshi's expression.

That is, these sharp words are not improvised, but prepared!

"This... Could it be that he has been preparing to speak a long time ago?!"

The two glanced at each other, and the shock in their eyes could not be concealed.

"Could it be that he was ready to say this after winning the award?!" Constant questions surged from the hearts of the two...

And it is such a huge contrast that makes the audience open their mouths and look at Kiyoshi Sakamoto on the stage blankly.

You must know that in Japan, the hierarchy and class system have long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, especially in the entertainment industry.

In the case that it is impossible to change, although a group of excellent and humble talents have been created in the original rules, there are not too many characters with personality and a little domineering.

It's all the same humility, the politeness of wearing a mask, the product of the system...

To mingle in this sick circle, you must abide by the rules of this circle.

And the rule of this circle is humility, and no one is allowed to disobey the rules.

If you don't follow the rules, you can only do it if you become a person who customizes the rules.

Therefore, before Sakamoto Kiyoshi gained a certain status and fame, he maintained his polite side and well-behaved side. . .

Be a low-key person and do things in a high-profile manner.

Even with his current net worth, he is already the richest artist in the entire entertainment industry, but he has never exposed his ambitions.

Even in 2005, THE SUN was defeated by Koda Rai Wei at the Record Awards, and Sakamoto Kiyoshi was only in private, talking to Ogawa Shin and Chiba Masaki about his unwillingness, and his ambition to regain the award again...

This time, however, it was different.

This time, it was indeed after careful consideration that he decided to say such a thing at the record awards.

In his opinion, as his status in the music and film industry gets higher and higher, he will inevitably be troubled and hostile by many seniors with deep qualifications.

Because, the location of the top of the pyramid is so few.

If Kiyoshi Sakamoto wants to continue climbing, he will inevitably touch the interests of those who are standing in front of him.

This will undoubtedly set the two in opposition.

After all, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, a young man who has only debuted for three years, has achieved such great achievements in a short period of time in the case of shallow qualifications, and has long been considered by the old seniors as a dangerous person who will endanger their status.

"It's only been three years, and he's so popular, so in a few years, won't he be able to step on the heads of the older generation?"

It is also the situation that Kiyoshi Sakamoto will inevitably encounter under his rapid growth.

Therefore, as soon as he thought of what would happen sooner or later, Kiyoshi Sakamoto felt that instead of waiting for them to make a move, it would be better to take the initiative to reveal his ambitions and catch them off guard.

And this record award is a good opportunity.

Therefore, Sakamoto Kiyoshi made a tentative move to see how many people would be on his side in the event that might arise in the future.

It can also be said that it is a collision between the young Zhuang faction and the conservative school in the entertainment industry!

He wants to know from this collision that in this talent-oriented entertainment industry, can he, an outlier, succeed in breaking the iron rule of seniority and climb to the top of the pyramid with a young and new look!

。。。。。。

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who has always been humble, actually said such "unruly" words, which undoubtedly caused an uproar.

From the next day's newspapers, magazine covers, and Internet headlines, you can see how influential Kiyoshi Sakamoto's words at the record awards are!

"Two consecutive championships? No, I want three consecutive champions!"

"The first band in history to win three times in a row = THE SUN?"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto: I want to be on stage again!

"Young People's World?"

。。。

Various news headlines and cover headlines have made the name "Kiyoshi Sakamoto" top of the search list of major web portals such as YAHOO and Google in one fell swoop!

According to statistics, on the night of the awards ceremony, more than 10 million people tuned in to watch the record awards.

Especially when Kiyoshi Sakamoto said that domineering remark, the instant ratings reached the peak of the night, and the number of viewers at the same time also came to 12 million!

In other words, one of the twelve Japanese saw this award ceremony and heard Kiyoshi Sakamoto's domineering declaration.

The entire entertainment industry is paying attention to the public opinion caused by Kiyoshi Sakamoto's acceptance speech this time.

There was a lot of talk among the public.

Whether it is the Internet, or TV stations, magazines, newspapers and other media, they have all launched a wave of voting.

"Do you agree that Kiyoshi Sakamoto's incisive speech is good, or do you think Kiyoshi Sakamoto should not have said such bold words?"

"Isn't it possible to make a big deal out of great achievements? What do you think of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's speech at the Record Awards?"

Voting on various topics is discussing the events of the penultimate night of 2007!

Basically, the public is divided into two major factions for Sakamoto Kiyoshi's speech.

The "supporters" believe that Sakamoto Kiyoshi's declaration is just an act of young people expressing their own petty ambitions, and it does not constitute any charge of "disrespecting seniors" and "arrogance", and Sakamoto Kiyoshi does have such strength.

In the absence of strength, it is arrogant and undesirable to make wild remarks; however, when we have great strength, boldly stating our goals is not a provocation, and more is not arrogant, but full of self-confidence.

Young people, it is good to have self-confidence, so, be supportive!

And the "opposition" did not deny Sakamoto Kiyoshi's achievements, but caught Sakamoto Kiyoshi to do so, which is a great disrespect to his predecessors, that is, to give Sakamoto Kiyoshi the crime of "disrespecting his predecessors".

In their opinion, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has achieved remarkable achievements even in just a few years.

However, this is not an excuse to say that "the next year's jackpot is mine" as an excuse.

After all, this sentence, under their interpretation, is obviously looking down on many singer predecessors...

It's unbearable.

You know, Japan, is a hierarchical society...

If Kiyoshi Sakamoto is branded as a "disrespectful senior", it will inevitably make Kiyoshi Sakamoto the target of the entire entertainment industry!

It is also this statement that has thrown many people into the arms of the "opposition".

Therefore, the support rate of the two major factions is undoubtedly the "support faction" occupies a clear disadvantage.

This heated discussion also almost made THE SUN's fourth red and white debut, and it turned into a bubble...

The invitation of red and white, as early as the beginning of December, was sent to Sony, and THE SUN is also a frequent visitor to red and white in recent years, and he also accepted this invitation very skillfully.

However, the day before the Red and White Song Festival, there was such an incident, so that the organizer of the Red and White Song Festival, NHK (Japan Broadcasting and Broadcasting Association), many seniors with deep qualifications, felt that it was a little inappropriate to let Sakamoto Kiyoshi appear on the red and white stage again.

However, just when NHK was hesitating whether to temporarily replace THE SUN, someone on the Internet listed the major achievements of Kiyoshi Sakamoto and the band in the past few years.

It was these amazing statistics that made NHK finally give up the decision to replace THE SUN.
