From his teacher's tone, Kiyoshi Sakamoto could hear it.

Even Masaharu Fukuyama, who has a good temper, is very angry about this incident.

Kenji Kitano did this.,The damage to Sakamoto Kiyoshi is almost negligible.,It's just a simple disgust to Sakamoto Kiyoshi.。。。

However, the damage to Masaharu Fukuyama is great.

You must know that Masaharu Fukuyama, as the first brother of Universal Records, has always had a great degree of freedom in music.

Even Kenji Kitano's predecessor, Ichiro Yamazaki, the former president of Universal, was kind and angry when he treated Masaharu Fukuyama and didn't dare to interfere too much with his music.

Because Ichiro Yamazaki knows that a big singer like Masaharu Fukuyama is hard to find.

At the beginning, in 2000, in order to get Masaharu Fukuyama to transfer from BMG JAPAN to Universal, Universal spent a lot of effort to make it happen.

You must know that Masaharu Fukuyama in 2000 overwhelmed the existence of the three singers with a song "Sakurasaka".

Universal also set up a façade for Universal, so he took action to poach Masaharu Fukuyama, who was at his peak, from BMG JAPAN.

Ichiro Yamazaki knows the value and influence of Masaharu Fukuyama very well, so after Kiyoshi Sakamoto switched to Sony, he ignored him and did not make any small actions to suppress or ban him.

This is all for the sake of Masaharu Fukuyama's face, as well as the background of Sony.

Otherwise, for the "stain" that was mentioned at such a moment, how could the senior executives of the world endure it, not suppress it, and even ban Sakamoto Kiyoshi?!

Don't think Ichiro Yamazaki is stupid.,The purpose of his doing this,It's just to avoid.,In addition to letting go of Sakamoto Kiyoshi,Another mistake.。。。

However, last year, Kenji Kitano, who replaced Ichiro Yamazaki, didn't think so.

He is bent on making a big difference, but he is just a director who has never run a record company.

He had no idea of Masaharu Fukuyama's potential value to the world.

He just thinks that no matter how good Masaharu Fukuyama is, he is only a singer under Universal, and he is just an artist.

In his opinion, as the president, he is the boss of all his singers.

According to Japanese rules, does a boss need to take into account the feelings of his subordinates when doing things?

No way!

Moreover, as a "puppet" pushed out by the board of directors, in order to get the support of the board of directors, of course he will do whatever it takes to curry favor with the board of directors.

And against Kiyoshi Sakamoto, it was his strategy.

As long as he can get the favor of the board of directors, even if Masaharu Fukuyama is unhappy, he doesn't care...

Thinking of this, this made Sakamoto Kiyoshi feel sorry for the singers under Universal Music in the bottom of his heart.

"I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, I'm afraid of pig-like teammates, not to mention that this pig teammate is still the president of Universal... ”

。。。

On the phone, the conversation between Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Masaharu Fukuyama continued.

"Then, teacher, let's not talk about whether this cooperation can continue, the key now is that President Kitano did this without taking you into account at all. Kiyoshi Sakamoto calmly analyzed.

"I think that President Kitano has gone out of his way to target me, in that case, Sensei, you will be in a very awkward situation if you stand between us... ”

"This time, I interfered with your personal musical freedom without consulting you, so what about next time?

"I think you should at least express your displeasure, otherwise he would think you're just an uncle in his thirties... Kiyoshi Sakamoto teaped.

“。。。 You kid, it's really ... It's itchy, isn't it?" Regarding Sakamoto Kiyoshi's ridicule, Masaharu Fukuyama couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"How dare I, I respect you very much, old ... Division... Kiyoshi Sakamoto's joke made Masaharu Fukuyama feel very unhappy because of Kenji Kitano's actions, and felt a little better.

"Still, I think it makes sense. ”

"Since he did so, if I didn't react, didn't I approve of the way he did to me?"

"So, I'll go to Kenji Kitano personally and talk about it. ”

Masaharu Fukuyama's words were filled with a strong domineering spirit.

This made Sakamoto Kiyoshi also envious.

"He is worthy of being a shareholder of Amuse, and he speaks with a strong taste of a domineering president... Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was thinking like this, did not forget to shout and cheer at Masaharu Fukuyama on the phone, "The teacher is mighty!"

"Hahaha... ”

。。。。。。

One day at the end of January, the day after the conversation with Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Universal Music Headquarters.

The president's room.

"Oh, isn't this our Fukuyama-san?" Kitano Kenji greeted in a polite tone as he looked at the man who walked in with a surprised expression.

"Hello, President Kitano. Masaharu Fukuyama bowed slightly and then straightened up.

Seeing that Masaharu Fukuyama did not bow ninety degrees like other artists, Kenji Kitano raised his eyebrows slightly, and then warmly beckoned Masaharu Fukuyama to sit down as if nothing had happened.

Sitting down on the sofa, Masaharu Fukuyama declined, and Kenji Kitano wanted to ask someone to bring tea in.

"I don't need tea, President Kitano, I'll say a few words and leave. ”

"Oh, that's good. ”

Kenji Kitano first motioned for the secretary who came in to go out, and also sat down opposite Masaharu Fukuyama.

"Then, Fukuyama-san, you came to me today, what's the matter?"

Looking at Masaharu Fukuyama's sitting posture with his legs crossed, he looked at it with a comfortable face.

Compared to Kenji Kitano, Masaharu Fukuyama seems to be the president of Universal.

Kenji Kitano also noticed Masaharu Fukuyama's sitting posture, and he also didn't like it.

"Hmph, in front of your boss, you dare to sit like this, I really think that I am the first brother of the world, so I don't dare to cut you?!"

Actually, Kenji Kitano blamed Masaharu Fukuyama by mistake.

You must know that in the era of Ichiro Yamazaki, Masaharu Fukuyama was a big man who often came in and out of the president's office.

Whether it is in front of Ichiro Yamazaki, or in front of Rikichi Oyo, the former chairman of Amuse, or Tatsuro Hatanaka, the current chairman, he is also used to sitting like this.

Without him, just because, his status is no longer measurable by the word "artist"...

You must know that in addition to being the first brother of the world, he is also a shareholder of Amuse, and he is also the national male god whose national popularity is second only to Takuya Kimura, and the third person in the sales of Japanese SOLO male singers.

Such an achievement is also the reliance of Masaharu Fukuyama.

Masaharu Fukuyama is already considered to be the top few people in the pyramid of the entertainment industry.

Therefore, whether it is in front of the presidents of major offices or the presidents of his own record companies, he is not shocked by the appearance of honor and disgrace.

However, this appearance is exactly what Kenji Kitano hates very much.

Kenji Kitano did not rely on shares to become a director of Universal, but relied on his talent in finance, and was inserted into the board of directors by the big guy behind him.

It is precisely because he has no foundation that he was pushed out by the global board of directors to take the position of president.

Because, the board needs a "puppet" that is easy to control...

And because of himself, he has been beaten and scolded for a long time, but he can't resist, he can only bear it silently, so, over time, his heart has gradually become a little distorted.

And after he achieved his ambition, his villain nature of bullying the soft and fearing the hard, as well as his temperament of small belly and chicken intestines, were undoubtedly revealed.

It can be seen from the attitude and approach towards Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Masaharu Fukuyama.

。。。

Masaharu Fukuyama didn't understand Kenji Kitano's thoughts at this time, and even if he knew, he would only look down on Kenji Kitano even more.

Because, such a calculating person does not have the ability and courage to achieve great things at all, and such a person is not worth mentioning.

。。。

"Well, as far as I know, my student, Sony's Sakamoto-kun, sent us an invitation to work with me on a single from Universal. ”

"But, you refused, right?"

"Oh, that's the thing. Kenji Kitano didn't seem to realize that Masaharu Fukuyama was here to "ask the teacher for guilt", and replied with a smile on his face.

"Then can I ask, what is the reason?" Masaharu Fukuyama first put down his cocked legs, his body pressed forward slightly, and the momentum between the words instantly swept towards Kenji Kitano.

This undoubtedly made Kenji Kitano, who was sitting opposite, a little embarrassed, and he only now realized that he was a head shorter than Masaharu Fukuyama, whether standing or sitting.

The situation created in this way is that as the president, he was actually overwhelmed by the momentum emanating from his artists...

This undoubtedly deeply stimulated Kenji Kitano's inferiority complex.

He thinks that Masaharu Fukuyama's behavior is simply not taking him as the president seriously.

Therefore, the smirk on his face also disappeared, and he replied in a slightly cold tone.

"There's no reason, it's the company's decision, you just have to accept it. ”

"Oh, President Kitano, if you say this, can I understand that this is the attitude of Universal to its artists?" Masaharu Fukuyama was not angered by Kenji Kitano's tone at all, perhaps, he had known for a long time that Kitano would have such a reaction.

"As long as you obey the orders of your superiors, don't ask anything?"

"Not even the most basic right to know?"

He just smiled and uttered powerful words.

"Masaharu Fukuyama, this is not something that you should know as an artist. You need to know who you are ... ”

Finally, Kenji Kitano was provoked by Masaharu Fukuyama's words, which aroused the anger in his heart, and said with an expressionless face.

It's rude to call them by their first names.

However, hearing Kenji Kitano's words, Masaharu Fukuyama still had an expression of indifference.

It's just that the next words made Kenji Kitano's heart tremble.

"I see. ”

"It seems that the fate between the world and me has come to an end... ”
