Chapter 107: Dominance

After saying these two things, Hideki Hanyu decided to invite a friend to dinner as soon as he saw that it was close to work.

Since they started their business, they have been busy day and night, and it is not easy to get together, and they haven't eaten together for a long time.

Of course, in addition to Shota Yoshioka and Asako Hirohashi, I didn't forget to bring Shinsuke Ito, who was editing the advertising tape downstairs.

At the end of the year, the business is busy, and the other party is so busy that he doesn't even have time for a meeting, and the meal is still dragged out by Shota Yoshioka.

As for what to eat, Hideki Hanyu chose the Omakase dish that didn't bother the most.

Omakase cuisine is also known as a no-menu meal, and the chef decides what to serve to customers on the day based on the ingredients of the day.

I remember that this model was introduced into China in later generations, and most of the results were empty of expensive prices, arrogant service, unpalatable food, and a lot of big "leeks".

And in Neon, the price of high-end Omakase cuisine is not cheap, just like the Omakase restaurant called "Iigishi" that they came to, and the price of a single course is 35,000 yen.

If you do the math, a meal for the four of them costs 140,000 yen, which is the monthly salary of an ordinary office worker who has just graduated from Tokyo.

It's rare to invite friends to a meal, and Hideki Hanyu doesn't care about spending this little money.

It's not that he's talking big, for Hanyu Hideki, 100,000 yuan is indeed a small amount of money now.

The overseas income of the picture book that he asked him to settle before, Eri Kitahara, just said that it would not be lower than the income in the neon territory, who wanted Yada Yoshihiro to go to the Shogakukan to know, it turned out that 'will not be lower' is used modestly.

The royalties of the seven picture books he has released overseas have exceeded 80 million yen in Neon and more than 170 million yen in revenue share overseas.

In less than four months, the income is more than double the royalties in Neon's territory, so it's no wonder that everyone likes to go overseas to make money.

In order to file taxes early next year, Yoshihiro Yada has begun to take stock of his income this year in the past few days.

In 1981, Hanyu earned a total of 510 million yen in nine months, including the revenue share of overseas picture books and the share of merchandise sales of more than 10 million.

Of course, this is only to calculate his income as a writer, the appreciation of real estate investment, and the income from cloud painting is not counted.

In the entire neon literary world, Hideki Hanyu's income is already unique.

Although the ranking of writers' income in 1981 will not be announced until next year, compared with the 1980 figures, Ryotaro Shima, who ranked first, earned 300 million yen, and Hiroyuki Goki, who ranked second, earned 270 million yen, which together can surpass his income this year.

Although the momentum of these two people is unabated this year, it is impossible to exceed it too much compared to last year, and as soon as the list comes out next year, he will be at the top of the writer's income list.

As for the entertainment industry, making money is even less than him, and last year the singer Yazawa Yongyoshi made the most money, with an income of 240 million, less than half of him.

Looking at it now, it was right not to go back to be a singer, the trip that can't be completed in a day is exhausting and tiring, and there is little money.

With such an income, he naturally didn't take it to heart when he invited his friends to a meal.

However, although he chose this Omakase restaurant with an elegant environment, thoughtful service, and the freshest ingredients in the season, the dishes this time did not meet his taste.

He had eaten here with Yukio Tanaka once before, and at that time the ingredients were mainly meat, and he was very satisfied with the food that time.

But this time, the restaurant changed the winter ingredients, and the main dishes were mainly mushrooms, which made him a little disappointed as a "carnivore".

But after all, it's a dinner with friends, and in addition to eating, you have to enjoy the process of eating.

"The mushroom soup here is very fresh, and Hanyu-san is breaking the bank." Compared to Hideki Hanyu, Asako Hirohashi clearly likes this vegetarian-based cuisine.

"It's good if Asako-san likes it."

Hideki Hanyu felt that as long as his friends liked it, the money was not spent in vain.

At this time, he thought of Asako Hirohashi's mother and daughter Saori-chan, as well as the three young girls who lived together, and Sho Yoshioka's family.

So he called the waiter of the restaurant and asked them to prepare a few mushroom food boxes to take away before they left.

"Hanyu-san has a heart."

Guessing that Hideki Hanyu was packing for their family, Asako Hirohashi felt touched in her heart.

Hideki Hanyu's meticulous consideration and attitude of putting their family to heart touched everyone a little.

Usually seems lazy and lazy, and doesn't care about anything, but the actual mind is very delicate.

Just like their and their family's birthdays, often before I think about it, Hideki Hanyu has already prepared the gifts.

It was also a trip before, and Hideki Hanyu, a gift for everyone, thought of it.

It is this kind of Hanyu Hideki that will make them trust them unconditionally.

"Speaking of which, it's the end of the year, has Yoshioka-san figured out when to hold a reception for the parties involved?"

Hideki Hanyu asked Shota Yoshioka, after all, Shota Yoshioka has always been in charge of outreach.

The business of cloud screening is very good this year, Dentsu and Hakuhotang, as well as brands with cooperative relationships, all need to contact the relationship at the end of the year, and communicate next year's project by the way.

"This needs to determine the time of the reception of the related party first, try to stagger the event, I have sent someone to contact, and we will arrange it when the approximate schedule comes out." Shota Yoshioka replied.

"Since Yoshioka-san has already thought about it, then I'm relieved."

Next, a few people chatted and tasted the food at the same time, it was rare to get along so relaxed, and there was no need to worry about the affairs of the studio.

Compared to going to a nightclub with Yukio Tanaka, Hideki Hanyu suddenly felt that such a quiet party seemed to be good.

……

The No. 2 studio of the Neon TV Color TV Center is crowded and busy.

The 1981 final meeting of "A Star is Born" is about to begin, and the staff is doing the final checks to avoid any mistakes in the show.

In the audience, representatives of major offices began to enter, ready to raise their cards for their favorite players.

Since Iijima Sanchi went to the outfield to take the family route of Akina Nakamori, it was Asako Hirohashi who appeared in the venue today on behalf of Yunshang Arts.

Among the male representatives, Asako Hirohashi, as the only female representative, is particularly conspicuous.

Many firms were thoughtful when they saw the cloud entertainment written on the sign in Hirohashi Asako's hand.

The parent company of Cloud Entertainment, who is the parent company of Cloud Entertainment, has naturally heard of the reputation as insiders.

Even many of the representative firms, their artists have also cooperated with cloud film in advertising.

At present, Yunying Film is also planning to enter the idol market, and with the strong production capabilities of the parent company, as well as the relationship with the advertising industry and brands, it must be a strong competitor.

And recently, these representatives have all heard that this cloud entertainment and Yanyin office have been making small moves in private in order to sign a certain player.

Just as the delegates were pondering the information of the cloud arts, another thin man with glasses walked towards the delegates' seats.

When all the delegates saw this person appear, their eyes were nervous and they were very jealous.

The reason why this is so is because his name is Zhou Fang Yosuke, who is the representative of the notorious Burning Production studio, and is also the confidant of the entertainment industry boss Zhou Fang Yuxiong.

Last year, it was this person who snatched the best player Kyoko Koizumi from everyone, pressed it on his hands for a year, and has not yet debuted.

It's just that what makes everyone strange is that this year, Burning Production has not made any moves, and has not shown any intention of signing any player.

Even if he was afraid of Burning Production, he still had to give respect on the surface, so when Zhou Fang Yosuke came to choose the chief, the representatives took the initiative to say hello.

However, just when everyone took the initiative to greet Zhou Fangyangsuke, they found that the female representative of Yunshang Arts was sitting motionless, as if she didn't see Zhou Fangyangsuke's arrival.

What the representatives didn't expect was that after Zhou Fangyosuke finished dealing with everyone, he found that the female representative of Yunshang Entertainment did not come, so instead of getting angry, he took the initiative to step forward with a surprised face and greeted him in a low voice.

As a result, something that shocked everyone even more happened, the female representative of the cloud screening, in the face of the greetings of Zhou Fangyangsuke, who acted arrogantly in the entertainment industry, ignored it with a cold face.

Over there, seeing that Asako Hirohashi didn't speak with a cold face, Zhou Fangyosuke didn't mind at all and continued to talk to himself.

"Asako, are you going back to Chiba Prefecture with your sister this New Year?"

"Asako, how about bringing Yui-chan for the New Year together, Brother Yi and I really want to see Yui-chan."

"The development of the film on the cloud is very good, do you need the help of Brother Di and me?"

……

Listening to Zhou Fangyosuke talking non-stop beside him, Hirohashi Asako was really annoyed, turned his head and looked at Zhou Fangyosuke coldly, and said in an indifferent tone.

"This gentleman, the show will start soon, please don't disturb others."

Hearing this, Zhou Fangyang turned his head to look at the lively representatives around him, "Did I disturb you?" ”

In an instant, the scene cooled down.

A representative of a small office close to him stubbornly said, "No, no." ”

Zhou Fangyosuke put away his arrogance, turned his head and said to Asako Hirohashi with a kind smile, "Everyone didn't feel disturbed. ”

As a result, Zhou Fangyosuke found that Hirohashi Asako's face turned even colder when he saw his style, and he could only smile bitterly and say, "Then it will be troublesome for Asako to take care of my sister." ”

After speaking, Zhou Fangyangsuke ignored the surprised eyes of the people around him, and left the representative seat directly, as if he was going to give up holding up his card in this year's "Star Birth".

On the seat of the delegate's seat, Asako Hirohashi sighed helplessly, and her heart was full of mixed feelings.

That feeling didn't last long, though, as the show began.

With the performance of one contestant after another, Akina Mori sang "Dream First Case Insider" again, and unsurprisingly got the highest number of votes in the audience and won the best award.

Among them, Mori Akina's sign-raising session began, and Asako Hirohashi and eleven other offices raised their cards at the same time, officially starting the competition for the girl.

At the same time, Akina Nakamori and the family members outside the arena immediately cheered happily when they saw this.

After three years and three competitions, the daughter of the Nakamori family finally got the debut opportunity of her dreams.

A brighter future seems to beckon to the Nakamori family.

"That's not right!"

Father Akio Nakamori looked at Iijima Sanchi, who was standing with them, and remembered the benefits of the signing promised by the other party, and he felt that the beauty did not have to wait for the future, it was coming soon.

Obviously, before his daughter Akina Nakamori won the championship, the irresponsible money-hungry father had already sold his daughter.

And Hideki Hanyu, who has been pressing on the outside, did not wait for the opportunity to make a move from beginning to end, prepared months in advance, and made a strong move first, so that they had an advantage in the competition for Akina Nakamori.

The day after the end of the final battle of "Birth of a Star", the headquarters of Yanyin Office.

Yuzo Shimada, the person in charge of the signing of "Birth of a Star" in the president's office, reported to the president Toshio Nozaki on the latest progress.

"President, although Neon TV helped us make an introduction, Akina Nakamori's family was not satisfied with the conditions we proposed."

"Is it because we give Akina Nakamori too low a salary?" Toshio Nozaki asked suspiciously.

They paid Akina Nakamori 200,000 yuan a month, which is already the highest level in the industry for an amateur who has not debuted.

The contracts signed between neon agencies and artists are roughly divided into two types, the feeding system and the hybrid system.

The feeding system is a fixed salary, no matter how much money the artist makes, he can only get a fixed salary.

Basically, rookie idols and comedy artists, the first contract is this cooperation model, and you can give 100,000 yen per month, even if it is a conscientious firm.

Most firms also give tens of thousands of yuan a month for living expenses, causing artists to even work to support themselves in their spare time.

And the second kind of co-ordination system is to get a share, there are very few artists who can sign this kind of contract, in addition to being popular, they must also have a chance when they renew their contract.

Take Seiko Matsuda, who is now popular, for example, life at Sun Music is not very good.

Seiko Matsuda has sold nearly 5 billion records this year, and she still gets a fixed salary every month.

As for the record sharing, don't even think about it for now.

The majority of the interest in records belongs to record companies and record stores, and without copyright, without participating in the investment, the brokerage firm will not be able to share the money.

Because copyright protection is done well, songwriters and record producers can get a certain share.

Although the singer is allowed to take 0.9% of the price of the record according to the regulations.

But this 0.9% share is not something you want to take, if it is a feeding contract, this part of the income belongs to the brokerage firm.

Even if you are eligible to change the sharing contract later, such a record share will still be taken away by the brokerage firm.

And that's not all.

In the main income of singers such as TV performances, concerts, and endorsement advertisements, not only the office has to take a cut, but the record company also has to take a part, and the specific proportion depends on the negotiation between the office and the record company, but it is basically between 10% and 30%.

Because of this, under various peeling conditions, most newcomers would rather choose a fixed salary than negotiate a share.

The fixed salary is at least guaranteed by drought and flood, and some money can be seen, and if it is divided, it will be a sum of money owed to the firm if it is not good to deduct expenses.

Therefore, Kenne gave Akina Nakamori 200,000 yen a month, which is indeed a lot in the industry, and it is better than the popular Matsuda Seiko.

"It's not that I'm not dissatisfied with Akina Nakamori's remuneration, but I'm not satisfied with the conditions given to them." Yuzo Shimada said with a wry smile.

"What?"

Toshio Nozaki didn't understand it for a while, didn't he sign a contract with Akina Nakamori? How did you get involved with the conditions for their families.

"Akina Nakamori's family, uh...... How to put it, very greedy, especially the father, opening his mouth is an unacceptable condition. ”

Yuzo Shimada thought of Akina Nakamori's family, and his head was bigger.

Generally, the family members of artists, although they also care about interests, will care about their children's future, and understand that the more their children earn, they will get more in the future.

But Akina Nakamori's family is not interested in Akina Nakamori's development and future planning at all, and they only care about what benefits they can get at the moment.

"What conditions do they want?" Toshio Nozaki asked.

Hearing the president's question, Yuzo Shimada said that Akina Nakamori's family had different conditions.

After hearing this, Toshio Nozaki frowned deeply, and said unceremoniously, "Are they crazy?" ”

"I also think they're crazy, but it's more likely that there are other firms that really give that condition."

Yu Shimada showed helplessness on three sides, after all, there are too many firms competing for Akina Nakamori.

"It's impossible for us to meet their demands, continue to talk, their conditions will be met at most half, and if we don't agree, let's change to someone else."

Although Toshio Nozaki is very optimistic about Akina Nakamori, it is impossible for him to make such concessions for the sake of an amateur.

"Birth of a Star" has come out of many popular idols, but there are even more who are not popular.

In the past, there were players who performed better than Akina Nakamori, but they stood out from the crowd.

It's not even a big deal to be picked up by 12 firms, and there are players who have been contested by more than 20 firms in history.

"Okay, so besides Akina Nakamori, which players are we going to contact?"

Before, Yanyin's mind was on Akina Nakamori, and he didn't come into contact with other players.

"I think Yuko Murakoshi, Yuka Umemoto, and that Reiko Sakuma are all good, Inada-san is dominated by them."

Toshio Nozaki felt that since he couldn't pick the best, he simply won by quantity, and it didn't matter if his qualifications were poor, it was a big deal to train for a while.

Koizumi Kyoko, who was picked up by Zhou Fangyosuke last year, is still training for more than a year.

"Okay, I'll do it." Yuzo Shimada took his leave.

Three days after the end of "Birth of a Star", in the office of Cloud Arts, Iijima Sanchi, who had just returned from Kiyose, reported his work to Hideki Hanyu and Asako Hirohashi.

"Other firms have basically given up in the face of the conditions proposed by the Nakamori family, and Kenne has talked to him a few times without success, and it seems that he has turned to contact other players, and if there is no sudden price increase from the firm, we can already confirm the signing of Akina Nakamori."

There's something going on at home, it's late for the update, sorry.

Today it is two big chapters of five thousand
