Zhou Xiao is back, with Oscar!

For a whole week, this was the top priority in the Japanese entertainment industry.

And the craziest reaction of Zhou Xiao's return is that there are a very large number of more than ten manufacturers, each of which comes to Zhou Xiao with millions of yen to advertise! And it's not an advertisement that lets him shoot like it used to be, but an ad that lets him appear! These manufacturers also said that if Zhou Xiao directs and acts, the remuneration can be doubled!

Rao is Zhou Xiao is not short of money now, and he was also surprised by the generosity of these manufacturers.

Zhou Xiao's advertisements are relatively few, in fact, with his appearance and popularity, even if he competes with Takuya Kimura for the title of advertising in the past two years, it is no problem, but Zhou Xiao shoots relatively few commercials, even if he shoots, he is a director and does not appear on camera, which makes his advertising remuneration increase all the time, and the industry is also very curious about what company can let him star instead of shooting commercials.

There is one company that does have this energy, and the relationship with Zhou Xiao is also very good, and this is Toyota.

"Boss, Mr. Matsumae of Toyota is here." In the company, an aZx girl pushed open the door of Zhou Xiao's office and said.

"Matsumae? Let him in. Zhou Xiao said. Matsumae is the person who has been in contact with Zhou Xiao on the Toyota side, Zhou Xiao has cooperated with Toyota many times, and he can be regarded as quite familiar with Matsumae.

"Mr. Matsumae! Come on in, what are you here for? Let me guess, you're here...... When did I release the single? Or do you want to get an autograph for your little daughter? Zhou Xiao stood up and welcomed Matsuda into the office and said.

"Boss Zhou, what else can I do when I look for you at this time. Of course, I want to shoot an advertisement for you. Matsumae smiled.

"Then I don't know if you want to shoot a commercial or if you want me to appear in an advertisement?" Zhou Xiao asked without any surprise.

"It's all good, there is a remuneration for acting. There is a remuneration for filming, and of course, the remuneration for acting is much higher. Matsumae said. It stands to reason that the remuneration of a commercial film director is not too high, unless the director's director can play a role in advertising and OEM sales, there are not many directors who can do this Cheng dΓΉ in Japan, even if it is Zhou Xiao in the past, it can only play a partial role.

But now Zhou Xiao is different. The only and incomparably precious award for Best Original Screenplay is his most brilliant aura, which time may gradually lose its luster, but at least now, at this moment, this aura carries an attraction that no other star in Japan can match.

Under such a huge attraction, although it is also of great significance to let him be a director to shoot commercials. But no matter how huge it is, it can't be better than the effect of making him appear on camera.

"Our company has a huge number of endorsement families, and if Mr. Zhou can join, he will definitely become the brightest star in the family." Matsumae said.

"Oh? Is it big? Zhou Xiao asked, in fact, he himself knows that it is very big, like this kind of giant company, endorsements are invited in batches, such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi. For example, Nike and Adidas, and Toyota and Honda...... It is not very clear who Zhou Xiao has in Toyota in 2oo3, but Toyota advertising in 2oo4, Takuya Kimura, Takeshi Kitano. Atsuko Maeda, wife Satoshi Mu. A large number of celebrities such as Keiko Kitagawa have participated in its advertisements, and some even have no less than 2o people within 30 seconds, each of which is a star whose name almost all Japanese people can name, and is very wealthy.

"Although we have a lot of people, of course we attach great importance to Mr. Zhou Xiao, you can take a look at this first." Matsumae handed over a piece of paper.

Zhou Xiao took the paper and looked at it, what was written on it was a preliminary plan for inviting him, although it was just a plan, but just this plan was enough to make Zhou Xiao feel a little dizzy.

There are two basic ways to realize Toyota's invitation, one is to shoot a single advertisement at a time, and once ...... 450,000 yen. This figure is already the price of a first-class star in Japan, and Zhou Xiao estimates that Takuya Kimura is probably just this price now.

The other plan is even more powerful, hiring Zhou Xiao as a spokesperson and advertising planner, and the first contract lasts for three years, every year...... 120 million yen.

In the past three years, Zhou Xiao needs to shoot at least two advertisements for Toyota every year, and in addition to this, he also needs to contribute at least one or two advertising ideas every year, even if he does not participate in the shooting, and these two jobs can be carried out together, for example, he planned an advertisement in which he participated and participated, so it means that he only does two advertisements in a year.

Two advertisements collect 100 million yen a year, and being a celebrity is good for this, advertising or something, it's like sitting on yen.

However, Zhou Xiao was not satisfied with this, he put the letter of intent still on the coffee table in front of him and said: "Mr. Matsumae, it's not that I trust me, but I'm also a boss now, it's okay to shoot commercials, it seems a little inappropriate for our company to act......"

"Mr. Zhou Xiao, what do you think, your company doesn't have a car business, and as far as I know, most of Japan's top stars actually have their own brokerage firms, even if there is no firm, many brokerage companies will open a convenient company for them to operate, and the endorsement of this work does not conflict with our company's invitation."

"There seems to be no conflict, but even then I have to be cautious, you know, our company is not big, in case it causes a backlash from some companies, we can't bear it." Zhou Xiao said.

"Please rest assured, as long as you sign a contract with us, it is equivalent to standing with us, your problem is our problem, if you encounter trouble in the future, as long as it is determined that it is caused by cooperation with our company, we will definitely help you tide over the difficulties, I believe that there is no company in Japan that can ignore our Mitsui energy."

The Mitsui mentioned by Matsumae is the Mitsui chaebol, Mitsui is one of the so-called four chaebols in Japan, and unlike the other three chaebols, this chaebol group has a looser structure, similar to its subsidiaries such as Toyota. The relationship between large companies such as Toshiba is more of a partnership than a management.

In fact, since Zhou Xiao's debut. It is close to the relationship with the Mitsui chaebol, because the two large group companies with the best relationship with aZx are Toyota and Toshiba.

"No, no, no, I can deal with my own affairs, if I can't even deal with those small things, how can I be qualified to cooperate with a big company like you." Zhou Xiao waved his hand and refused.

Looking for Toyota for help? Or do you want Toshiba and Mitsui to help? Of course they can help, even if ordinary people can't help, it is estimated that no small artist can withstand such a behemoth's Jin Yuan offensive when it is smashed down. I'm afraid that even Yoshimoto Xingye or something may not be able to bear it, but Zhou Xiao would rather aZx go bankrupt than ask these companies for help, and resist by himself, there is still a glimmer of life before bankruptcy, but if they help. If it's the kind of deliberate help rather than shooting advertisements or something, then aZx is estimated to be not far from becoming a subsidiary of the Mitsui Group.

This is a capitalist, a capitalist or something, which is different from Pan Jiale, which is essentially a mutual aid organization, and every step of the capitalist must have a purpose, and there must be a return.

"Mr. Zhou Xiao. Please be sure to think about it, we are very sincere, and the cooperation between aZx and Toyota will definitely be a win-win deal, and we can still negotiate the current price, and the people of the Toyota family. It's perfectly fine to play your supporting role in commercials. Matsumae said.

"Oh? It's true? So these two are okay? Zhou Xiao pointed to the two names in the letter of intent and said.

"Of course, no problem, the two of them have a good relationship with you, right? We specifically checked before we came. Matsumae said.

The two people Zhou Xiao pointed to. It is Takeshi Kitano and Takuya Kimura, in fact, Zhou Xiao's relationship with Kimura is very good, and he can be regarded as a favor to Kimura, but the relationship with Takeshi Kitano is not so good that they are good friends with each other, but at least it can be regarded as some exchange.

"Then I'll think about it." Zhou Xiao said loosely.

Listening to Zhou Xiao say this, Songqian relaxed a lot, before he came, the company's requirements for him were very simple, as long as he was not rejected, as long as Zhou Xiao did not refuse, as long as there was talking, the conditions could be appropriately relaxed, and the amount of cooperation could also be increased, as long as the two sides still had to talk, then there would be no problem at all.

After separating from Matsumae, Zhou Xiao immediately called Uncle Inoue in, and the two began to calculate whether they wanted to accept the advertisement.

Although he went to take the advertisement, Zhou Xiao's contract still belongs to the company, although the company is his, but Zhou Xiao's advertising company still has to share a part of the income, so he has no problem asking Uncle Inoue about this.

"Zhou Xiao, there's actually something I think I need to talk to you about recently......" Uncle Inoue suddenly said without saying anything.

"What? Uncle, the relationship between the two of us, do we still need to think about whether it is appropriate to say it? Zhou Xiao said.

"These two years...... Our company has gradually developed, my ability, management is not very big company is still no problem, the company's daily management is also okay, but now you have earned so much, the company's exhibition has been expanding, I think my management ability has been a little ......"

"Uncle, I think you're doing a good job." Zhou Xiao said.

"What's good, after I started to manage the company, I studied some books and tutorials on management, and I know very well what I have done, a guy like Uncle I, it's good to be able to barely maintain the normal operation of the company, and then I want to develop the company...... I'm afraid I can't do it. ”

"I think it's good now." Zhou Xiao said.

"That's mainly because you're a great kid, movies or something, and the TV series you invest in are all doing well, and our company is almost the best and craziest company in the whole Japan exhibition. But in addition to you, the work of our other companies, except for a few items you have carried out, there is no exhibition, and in addition to a few artists you signed, the few artists that other people in the company tried to sign have also proved to be relatively mediocre, the company's exhibition has now entered a bottleneck, I estimate, if we do not introduce enough good management personnel in the future, I estimate that if you want to have a good exhibition in the future, you will have to wait for you to explode again, but the company that runs like this is actually very unhealthy. The company can't rely on you all the time. ”

Zhou Xiao nodded, although he didn't want to admit it, but what Uncle Inoue said was right, if the company wants to exhibit, it really needs better managers, but this kind of person ...... Where to find it? He didn't know where such a person was.

Zhou Xiao thought about it for several days, but he didn't expect a result, he was a dead otaku. Before he was reborn, he didn't care much about business or anything.,Now it's suddenly hard for him to find someone.,And he knows.,Most of the people related to the industry.,Most of the people who ran after akB's later success.,Yasushi Wata, the president of aks.,And Togasaki Tomonobu of the operator.,Ninja Nabeno or something.。 But among these people, Yasushi Wakita is not a rich second generation, and his background will not be bad, and letting this kind of person manage his own company is to lure the wolf into the house, Togasaki or something, he was just a bar owner before he became a theater manager, and other rulers such as Yuasa Yoshi. Jin Zigang or something, their respective backgrounds are also destined to make it difficult for them to manage the company, as for Ninja Nomin? She's a dressmaker, and even if she takes over as the ruler later, I'm afraid the power won't be too big, it's more of a sign and mascot-like figure (large mascot).

And this time. The Oscars have helped Zhou Xiao the most.

This morning, Zhou Xiao was about to get up and go to the crew to shoot "The Man Who Can't Get Married", when a phone call came in.

"Zhou Xiao, can you not go to the set today, I have someone here who has come to apply, can you come for an interview?" Uncle Inoue said on the phone.

"Oh? Okay, I got it. It's right away. Zhou Xiao didn't ask the other party's specific situation, but said directly, in fact, since Uncle Jing talked to him that day. aZx began to look for excellent managers in the industry, but there was no show in the past few days, although there were a few interviews, but most of them were intercepted by Uncle Inoue, according to the uncle, even he can't compare, what are you going to do?

Of course, it's not that there are no better talents than Uncle Inoue, so every time Uncle feels that this person is possible, he will call Zhou Xiao and ask him to come for an interview.

Zhou Xiao arrived at the company by car, and as soon as he pushed the door, he saw a man sitting in front of Uncle Inoue.

This man looks thirty-four or fifteen years old and has extraordinary energy, and he is the most attractive kind of handsome uncle to women, seeing this person's appearance, Zhou Xiao frowned quietly, he will get involved in female idols in the future, if such a president and management personnel are really enabled, I am afraid that the attraction to his sisters will not be small.

"Hello Mr. Zhou, my name is Li Rui!" The man in front of him stood up and said first to reach out his hand instead of bowing.

Although the first impression was not good, Zhou Xiao liked the man's action of standing up and shaking hands with him.

Japanese culture and habits, in fact, on this occasion, the person who comes in may be their boss, most of the candidates will bow deeply and express their humility, usually Zhou Xiao will never express his opinion on this kind of behavior, in his opinion, this is culture, but not expressing an opinion does not mean agreeing with this approach, in his heart, in fact, he prefers the kind of freedom in China, which looks less polite but is actually more comfortable to deal with, and now the person in front of him is obviously doing this.

And listening to his name, it seems to be......

"Chinese?" Zhou Xiao asked when he stretched out his hand to shake hands with the other party.

"It's only a quarter of a blood." Li Rui said.

"Your grandfather?" Zhou Xiao asked again.

"Yes." Li Rui replied.

Zhou Xiao nodded: "Sit down." ”

Hearing that Li Rui's grandfather is Chinese, the impression of the man in front of him in his heart is immediately a lot better, this change in impression is not because of his Chinese identity, Li Rui's grandfather is Chinese, which shows that he has been to Japan very early, the Chinese in that era to Japan, it is definitely not easy to find a Japanese wife, Zhou Xiao's grandparents can be together, I am afraid that the reason is not only because of patriotism, but also because it is almost impossible for Chinese men to find a Japanese wife.

And Li Rui's family can do this, which shows that his grandfather is at least quite good in terms of status or family, not a rich N generation immigrant, and also a master of a poetry and book heirloom.

"What position is Mr. Li interested in joining our company?" Zhou Xiao sat down and said.

"In the first few months I wanted to observe the company, and if I joined the company, I wanted to do ...... Executive! ”

Executive! Zhou Xiao was stunned for a moment, this kid is going to be a standing executive when he comes, and his tone is really not small.

In Japanese companies, the position arrangement in the company is usually the representative director, that is, the chairman, and then the president, then the general manager, then the general manager, and then the head of the department, but most companies, such as aZx, are not a company with many members, and there are usually not so many positions, for example, if Li Rui wants to be a general manager, in fact, the company does not even have a special manager, if he does the general management, it is equivalent to Zhou Xiao, who is second only to the chairman and president of the company, and Uncle Inoue, who is now in the position of vice president.

"Oh?." Zhou Xiao smiled and reached out to pick up his resume from the table.

Zhou Xiao was also dizzy when he saw the things on his resume, this guy does seem to have proud capital......

"After graduating from Waseda University's Department of Economics (Waseda University's Department of Economics), he studied in London, and after returning to Japan, he worked for a small company, doubled his business in a year, and then worked for several companies in the industry, and resigned in September last year......"

"Why did Mr. Li Rui fall in love with our company?" Zhou Xiao asked casually as he flipped through the information.

"It's actually very simple, Mr. Zhou Xiao has great potential, and aZx is not far from death, I want to save the world." Li Rui looked so deep that he couldn't speak, and he opened his mouth and said.
