Chapter 51, Attack on the Combustion System
It seems that the Ran Department finally couldn't bear the benefits of the group's annual operating income of 20 billion yen and decided to do it, Uesugi Soyuki thought about it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Here I want to talk about what is the combustion system.
If we want to talk about the Burning Department, we would like to introduce some of the major Japanese firms and their relationships.
Hori has already introduced it before, so I don't need to spend much ink here, and there is a suspicion of cheating the number of words.
Other firms with the same name as Horipro include Kenne, Xingchen, and Kansai Genesys.
In the 80s, it was just a mid-stream company, but in the mid-90s, it suddenly made a fortune with a group of actresses with great ratings and appeal, led by Takako Tokiwa, and became a top big firm in one fell swoop.
Kansai Genesys Office, a famous talent agency specializing in male idols in Japan. has monopolized the Japanese male idol market for nearly 30 years, as long as it wants to be a popular artist, there is no example of failure. All the Japanese idol stars and groups that can be named are most likely from Johnny's.
Janis Firm adopts the rule of wide entry and strict exit, anyone can submit their resume to Janis Firm, in addition to popular idols, more than 200 people will be kept in training throughout the year, the so-called Jr. Every year, Genesys holds an audition, which is personally checked by President Kitagawa, and in the past, when artists appeared on variety shows, they revealed that the reasons for being selected were also strange, and they were not selected if they were cute.
Among the hundreds of little Jr, there are only a handful of people who end up getting ahead, but, as long as you can make your debut, Genesys will always have a way to make you popular, many artists take Tokyo Dome as their ultimate dream, but the first appearance of most of Janiss' artists is Tokyo Dome...
Therefore, many artists can feel the taste of their dreams being trampled on from Janiss's idols.
As Japan's No. 1 brokerage firm, Genesys deserves it.
Kenne, a conglomerate with entertainment and media businesses as its core, developed rapidly in the 80s with the boom of Japanese dramas, and owned big-name artists such as Akina Nakamori and Yuko Asano. After the business was broad, he set foot in the music industry, and the single albums of singers such as Ken Hirai, Kokucola, and Ayaka have achieved good results. It focuses on the professionalism of artists, which is different from other agencies in Japan, so there are many Japanese artists who have transferred to Japan due to the corporate style of Yangmu Kenne (such as Yutaka Takenouchi), and Miho Kanno, Naomi Hayami, and Hiroshi Mizushima are all affiliated with Yanyin.
In terms of the relationship between the entertainment industry, Xingchen has been hostile to Janis because he has begun to reach into the field of male idols in recent years, and Yanyin is hostile to Xingchen in Japanese dramas, and the relationship between the two is also incompatible, and they co-star NG.
In recent years, Hori has also begun to intend to develop male stars, but the method of promoting male artists is really worse than Janis, as mentioned earlier, Hori Agency values favors, and has a bunch of so-called stars who are not popular, and the overall expenses are on the large side, and they are in a state of relative decline.
In recent years, the actresses in Xingchen's hands have not been as good as before. And he is often criticized for not being good at dealing with the media, and he can't control the negative news about Erika Sawajiri, and he is also in a bad situation in the past year.
The relationship between this firm and the TV station is very hard, and there has been a rising trend in recent years, and Zong Xue has seen the senior management of Yanyin banquet the senior management of major TV stations in the high-end club in Ginza many times.
In addition to these four major firms, there is also a super firm, no, it should be said that it is a super firm faction,
That is the leading boss in the entertainment industry - the combustion system.
Looking at the ranking of taxes and income paid by entertainment firms, it seems that the Burning Department is far less lucrative than Genesys Firm, but that is because the Burning Department itself is not large, at most it is the size of a medium-sized firm.
The reason why the gas system is the big brother in the entertainment industry is that nearly half of the small firms in the entertainment industry are affiliated with the gas system or have a business partnership relationship with the gas department. In other words, more than half of the artists in Japan are more or less under the management of the combustion system. Although these offices do not bear the name of the Combustion Department, they are collectively referred to as the "Combustion Department".
The office is absolutely unequivocal in the Japanese media, with a very strong style and sometimes quite vicious methods. In addition, the Japanese underworld, political and financial circles also have considerable power, and under the equal emphasis on grace and power, no one in the TV industry and media relations dares to say a word about it. In addition to the entertainment industry, Ranji is also involved in publishing houses (WANIBOOKS), bookstore management (Fukuke Shoten), restaurant management, real estate rental, and even production waste recycling industry, and is one of the most "non-specialized" performing arts firms in Japan.
The Ran series covers a wide range of fields, from actors, singers, hosts, photo actresses, models, and even entertainment journalists and sports stars. The most well-known are Kyoko Koizumi, Hiromi Go, Izumi Inamori, Yuki Uchida, Hitomi Shimatani, and Toru Koike.
The president of BURNING, Zhou Fang Ikuo, has a well-known nickname - "the big man in the Japanese entertainment industry", and also has another name, "the leader of the Japanese entertainment industry".
Uncle Zhou Fang, Zhou Fangliang, is the son of Zhou Fang Yuxiong, so this uncle's posture and temper are very high.
His arrival means the attitude of the burning system.
They're going to do it to the AKB!
As a giant in the industry, Ran is not afraid of anyone in the entertainment industry, as long as they must, there is nothing they can't do.
Ota, Ogi, Watanabe, these second-rate firms, actually eat more and occupy so many interests and resources, and poach those TOP members one by one, which is absolutely intolerable for the Ran system.
The burning system can endure until this time before making a move, and it has really been thinking about it for a long time, Uesugi Soyuki pinched his chin and thought so.
"So, Uncle Zhou Fang, do you have a request for finding me?" Uesugi Soyuki chuckled: "Although we Nogizaka 46 and AKB48 are related, to be honest, it doesn't matter, do you want us to do anything? Or do you have a crush on our members and want to transfer her from Sony to your burning line?"
Speaking of this, Uesugi Soyuki's face began to become indifferent, Nogizaka 46 must be controlled in his hands from beginning to end, this is his bottom line, if this Uncle Zhou Fang really asks for this, then there is a possibility of tearing his face.
However, it should not be right ...
"No, no, no, you misunderstood, our Combustion Department won't touch your Sony stuff, I mean, what kind of cooperation is the cooperation between you Sony, and AKS, or rather, with Yasushi Akimoto?" Zhou Fangliang was stunned for a moment, and immediately explained.
The combustion system is not afraid of anyone in the entertainment industry, but it is only in the entertainment industry.
Because of this, before the combustion system started, the people of Zhou Fangjia wanted to know something about what position and role Sony played in AKS.
"In other words, you've already solved Kyoraku?" Uesugi Soyuki frowned, in 2011, Kyoraku became the owner of AKS and became the actual owner of AKB, and it was really beyond his expectation that the Burning Department could get Kyoraku so quickly.
"Jingle, they don't know how to operate, they just make pachinko machines, we are here to help them do operations, they are profitable, we take what we need, don't we?" Zhou Fangliang's mouth hung a smug smile, get Jingle, the fuel department has absolute confidence.
It turns out that the Ran Department does not want to seize the ownership of Kyoraku, their goal is to establish the operation rights established by Yasusu Akimoto, led by him, and jointly controlled by multiple firms.
Gradually cut off the wings of Yasu Akimoto, and then wrest the right to operate from Yasusu Akimoto's hands, and finally make this "father of AKB" a broker who is only responsible for writing words and temporary transitions in the early days of the group?
The only thing that can make the combustion system jealous is the Sony force that he represents, and if Sony really wants to protect Akimoto Yasu, the combustion system is really a little difficult to do.
So today I'm here to find out what I'm doing, isn't it?
"Yasu Akimoto is the producer of our Nogizaka 46, and I hope Uncle Zhou Fang will remember this. Uesugi said something that seemed unrelated, his fingers tapping on the table.
"Knock knock knock... "Uesugi Soyuki is thinking about it, Yasu Akimoto is his partner and the producer of Nogizaka 46, but it seems that after the burning system defeats Fat Autumn, it won't have much impact on Nogizaka 46, Sony's things, the combustion system still doesn't dare to move.
What's more, there are people from Dentsu who are monitoring all this, and the gas department doesn't dare to do too much, at best, they just put Feiqiu high, take away his right to operate, and let him concentrate on making suggestions and writing words.
"Zongxian, we hope that you Sony can maintain a neutral attitude in this matter, and we also guarantee that after the matter is over, Yasuya Akimoto will still be your producer, and nothing will change. Seeing that Uesugi Zongxue began to move, Zhou Fangliang took advantage of the heat.
"Do you have anything that can convince me, decisive?" Uesugi Soyuki still frowned: "Also, don't fool me with this kind of verbal stuff, Yasu Akimoto was originally the producer of our Nogizaka 46, Uncle Zhou Fang, I need something practical." ”
Zhou Fangliang stared intently at this cowardly junior, who felt like he was negotiating with a fifty-five-year-old corporate executive.
Seeing that Uncle Zhou Fang stopped his movements, and Uesugi Soyuki also stopped tapping on the table, he naturally said: "Uncle, if you can't come up with some key evidence to prove that your Burning Department can defeat those offices and Yasu Akimoto in one go, we Sony can't give a promise, you know, Yasushi Akimoto's AKB has brought amazing benefits, there is a proverb in the United States, if something is not broken, don't fix it, right?"
Indeed, in the case of such a general trend of AKB, the operation of AKB by the gas system means that it may affect the profitability of this group, which is not a trivial matter.
AKB's popularity over the years has formed an idol industry chain, and there are countless businessmen and staff in the industry chain.
Zhou Fangliang knew that if he didn't come up with some dry goods today, he wouldn't be able to convince the project director of Sony Music, so he took out a piece of information: "With this, Director Uesugi can believe that we have a grasp of the combustion system, right?"
"This is !!" Uesugi Soyuki just took it and looked at it twice, and her pupils dilated instantly.
"Director Uesugi, now, believe that we have a grasp of the combustion system, right?"
