Chapter 39: Reunion after two months
Japan is a country with a chaebol economy.
BEING Records, which belongs to the record leader Ai Hui, Ayumi Hamasaki's record is about in their company, but the brokerage is about in WMA.
In 04, Ayumi Hamazaki's mentor, Katsuto Matsuura, became a scapegoat in the partisan struggle of Ai Hui Records, and Ai Hui President Ita Yu accused Katsuto Matsuura of corruption at the board of directors and demanded the removal of Katsuto Matsuura, so that the other party submitted his resignation in anger.
Originally, it was nothing, but Ayumi Hamasaki spoke up and threatened the company, telling them that if Katsuto Matsuura was deposed, she would retire immediately.
This time, it really made Ai Hui Records blow up.
Although since 03, Ayumi Hamasaki has lost the glory of 99,2000, but she is still powerful. has influenced a whole generation of spiritual idols, not only speaking in the company, but also driving their own fans, and artists threatening the company, causing Ai Hui Records to fall into a huge retirement incident.
It is impossible for the company to let go of Ayumi Hamasaki, although the company still has Mai Kuraki in Heisei Sanhime.
Therefore, the company chose to back down.
A company's concession to the diva.
This incident made Takano Kimi, the planner who single-handedly created the "duel between Ayumi Hamasaki and Hikaru Utada", also accuse Ayumi Hamasaki of being too ignorant and using his influence to intervene in the company's decision-making.
The grudge between Ayumi Hamasaki and Hikaru Utada officially kicked off from the duel between the two concubines.
Although half a year has passed since this incident, it has become a thorn in the heart of Ai Hui Records.
Ayumi Hamasaki's influence is too great, the only one who can compare with her Mai Kuraki, who is born with an indifferent heart, and she doesn't even bother to show up for an interview, and when it comes to BEING, the first thing that comes to mind is Ayumi Hamasaki.
This thorn has been stabbed until now, so when Uehara Shin heard the news, the first thing that came to mind was not to solve the problem, but to weaken Ayumi Hamasaki's influence in the company.
An artist has enough energy to influence the community, and they have to do something.
Even if there is no Dawn blockade, they will do it, but this incident has become a wedge.
In the last life, Ayumi Hamasaki's influence was getting weaker and weaker, and none of the Heisei Sanhime had won the title of the Great Imperial Palace, and it was from the retirement incident in 04 that the company began to deliberately weaken the influence of the king and queen.
Nobu Uehara's smile clearly conveyed something, and the people present, the manager who was shouting just now to set up a crisis public relations team, were silent.
"I believe that everyone will not forget what happened in '04." Nobu Uehara raised his eyebrows, stood up, knocked lightly on the solid wood table and said, "Something happened to her, we have to help her with public relations." She broke up the scandal, and we have to help her settle it. But what did she do for us. â
"She was cultivated by us, she is an artist of BEING, but last year she used her identity as a diva to threaten the company, what if she is not satisfied next time? Does the company still choose to regress? â
"The company needs a diva, but it doesn't need a disobedient ego diva." He concluded: "I think you know very well how to do it. â
Everyone nodded, this is the company telling them to shut up and quietly watch the development of this situation.
In other words, the company needs an obedient person, and apart from Ayumi Hamasaki, the best candidate left is Mai Kuraki!
And Mai Kuraki, who is indifferent by nature, is almost impossible to have any conflicts with others.
In a few words, the company's general trend has changed, not from the ban, but from the long-standing grudge, which began with this ban.
"Managers go down and hand in a development plan, I will see it the day after tomorrow, disbanded." Uehara said lightly, "Hasegawa, you stay for a while." â
Hasegawa is the man who just proposed to weaken the influence of Ayumi Hamasaki.
As the last person closed the door, Uehara restrained his smile and said, "Organize a crisis PR team immediately." â
"General Manager." Hasegawa carefully observed his face, "This ban will make the impact of Ayumi Hamasaki plummet, the world has entered the Internet age, so, we still have to take public relations?" â
"No!" Shin Uehara shook his head, "She caused it herself, we don't need to meddle anymore." â
He said slowly, "Do you know who ordered her to be banned this time? â
Hasegawa shook his head.
"Lin Xiao." Shin Uehara gritted his teeth and said, "The CEO of Dawn of Dawn, the parent company of Dawn, has a controlling stake in Dawn more than Sequoia, a few tenths of a percent more than Sequoia!" He is the real boss of Dawn! â
Hasegawa gasped, "Ayuhime...... It won't be ......"
Uehara snorted coldly and nodded, "Of course it is!" Since she became popular, she has played big names less often? However, this time it provoked the wrong people. â
"We just hope that he won't hurt the pond fish. In the past, newcomers played MVs on TV stations, but now there is a dawn, and there is a second way, a more people-friendly route. If Dawn completely shuts down the entire BEING artists, it will be us. â
"We can use this opportunity to sue him for anti-monopoly!"
Nobu Uehara sneered, "You think others don't want to do this?" â
"But who does the second video site in Japan? Now Ai Hui doesn't have this idea, if Shuguang is suspended, where will our artists go to promote? How short is the lifeline of female artists? How to lay during this time? Where to find such a good publicity channel? â
He shook his head irritably, "So, even if I want to sue, there will be other companies that will stop us." It was Ayumi Hamasaki who was banned, and other companies were happy to see it, and it was too late to be happy. â
"So who are we going to PR?"
"Of course it's Lin Jun." Uehara Shin hated the iron and looked at him with hatred, "Ayumi Hamasaki and his friendship, as long as he nods and doesn't hurt the pond fish, we can turn a blind eye." However, he has to give us a deadline, a maximum of one year, and I believe that Ayumi Hamasaki's influence on BEING will be much weaker. â
His tone turned cold, "If he wants to use this opportunity to suppress BEING, or ask for a sky-high price, he doesn't even want to nod." Then I'm afraid he miscalculated. â
"Then I'll go to China right away?"
"There's no hurry." Nobu Uehara said, "He will come to Tokyo soon, maybe he is already here, and when the time comes, you will go to see him with the president's intentions, and I believe that he will not give us face." â
He guessed accurately, Lin Xiao was indeed already there now.
He is now focusing on foreign countries, but the only film at hand is Nolan, and he is not a well-known artist internationally.
Sometimes, he also laments the unique endowment of European and American artists, and if he wants to achieve the same level, he will pay several times the effort.
The Japanese Shinkansen, one of which has been approved. In '07, the Shinkansen will be completely privatized, however, it is still operated by the Ministry of Transport.
The crew has arrived one after another, Nolan has not arrived, but the assistant directors Sith and Sid have been stationed in Japan, and some small things have begun to slowly move to the set.
On the set this time, the shooting was even more thrilling, and even props were directly written.
Bell needs to fly under the Shinkansen, hanging, and if filming in Iceland can still be carried out, then this one, unless it is a real Superman, then absolutely impossible.
The speed of the Shinkansen was so fast that it could reach 300 kilometers per hour, and Nolan made a model of the same size as Bell in a batsuit.
"That's it?" Lin Xiao watched Sith carefully take out the "real doll" from the prop box as he watched it, and quipped, "It reminds me of something." â
"Oh, Lin, I know what you're thinking. That's inflatable though. "Sishaha size" come, come and see. â
Lin Xiao carefully observed the "Bell card doll" in front of him. â
This should be the handiwork of a master sculptor, whose hands have been pinched one by one on the hands, legs, and body of the model, and he can't help but sigh again and again.
The facial features are vivid, the proportions of the human body are not bad, and there are a lot of muscles, the body and brain are partially filled with solid wood, and the limbs are only filled with a few "thigh bones." â
"That's what Director Nolan meant." "At that time we were going to use all solid wood, but he said that if he did this, the whole person would look too dead when hung up, and if it was not filled, it would look too floating, not like a real person, and the current method was deliberated several times before finally chosen." â
"What about Director Nolan? When will he arrive? Lin Xiao asked.
"It's coming." Sith moved "Bell" into the room, and then carefully covered it with a clear plastic sheet, how did Lin Xiao look at it and feel that this was saying goodbye to Bell's body.
"That's right, Lin. You should be okay these days, right? Sith suddenly asked, "If it's okay, would you like to visit the Shinkansen with me?" Where are the cameras in there, how big is the fight with you, and how many pieces of bulletproof glass need to be replaced, and you will have to break them when the time comes. If you look at it first, the better you are. â
"Of course." Lin Xiao said with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll report to the Ministry of Transportation tomorrow."
After the separation, Lin Xiao returned to his hotel.
He arrived in Tokyo three days ago, traveled in a low-key manner, and did not let the Japanese people know.
The first thing he did when he arrived, he immediately asked his assistant to collect recent entertainment magazines.
However, what puzzled him was that Ayumi Hamasaki's parent company, BEING, did not make a sound, and even Ai Hui strangely did not express any attitude, as for Ayumi Hamasaki herself, when she was asked why her news disappeared on the dawn, her answer was simply not to know.
A turmoil that should have been huge, but the accusation of monopoly at dawn disappeared without a trace, and he did not relax, but became vigilant.
For a diva like Ayumi Hamasaki, the other party should have given the green light and tried his best to protect it all the way, but now, not only Ai Hui, but even entertainment magazines have not had a few messages, this phenomenon is too weird.
"Could it be that Ayumi Hamasaki and her company don't have a good relationship?" He was speculating in his heart.
In the past few days, he was bored, so he went on the Internet for a while and deliberately clicked on the Chinese official website of World of Warcraft.
Now China's World of Warcraft has been won by Jiucheng, which is a new round of gambling after Jiucheng boss Zhu Jun after Miracle MU. Now, Japan's official website has begun to build momentum for the national launch of World of Warcraft.
"Lin Xiaofu ăăăȘăă«æąăŸăŁăŠăăă æȘéăźăăăźăźäžçă ă â
His photo, at the top of the entire site, is actually between Sal and Malfurion.
It made him laugh and cry.
