Chapter 138 "Future へ" Becomes Popular and the Official Income Ranking is Released
In Hanyu's view, the "optical factory" sparrow is small, but it has all kinds of skills, from production to sales.
Although Coreland Technology Co., Ltd. started with copycat game arcades, its production capacity is not weak, otherwise it would not have been possible to catch Sega's ship next year.
By selling copycat arcade games, the "optical factory" has also established a simple but comprehensive sales channel.
The most important thing is that the price of this club will not be unaffordable for him.
At the peak of the bubble, the "optical factory" could not get along with it because it owed 1.5 billion yen in debt, and was on the verge of bankruptcy.
What about the current "glasses factory", which didn't even hug Sega's thighs, and relied on copycat arcades to spend the day, how much can it be worth?
The "optical factory" has declined in later generations, and what is lacking is not something else, that is, creativity.
But for Hideki Hanyu, the most important thing is creativity.
Thinking of this, his gaze at Matsuda Jing became hotter and hotter.
At this time, Matsuda Yasuya noticed that Hideki Hanyu was looking at him very wrong.
Although I don't know why, thinking of the difficult business situation of his club after moving to Tokyo, Matsuda Yasushi still stubbornly nodded to Hanyu Hideki and said flatteringly.
"I really like the Saint Seiya created by Hanyu-sensei, and I hope to cooperate with Hanyu-sensei."
Of course, Matsuda Yasushi knew that there were people from Bandai and Sony present, and it was not easy for him to get the copyright of "Saint Seiya".
But it didn't stop him from running to try his luck today, after all, there was no loss for him if he didn't succeed.
But if Hideki Hanyu had a hot brain and really licensed "Saint Seiya" to him, wouldn't Coreland Technology rise directly.
Now who in the circle doesn't know that "Saint Seiya" is a gold mine, and you can make a lot of money if you get the authorization.
However, when Hanyu Hideki heard this, he admired the drill ability of the person in front of him, as well as his cheeky posture.
In front of the representatives of Bandai and Sony, I dared to talk to him about cooperation.
As far as the strength of the "glasses factory" is concerned, I am afraid that those two will be able to blow it away.
It is no wonder that later generations can meet the source left and right, first relying on Sega, and then climbing to all generations, and once mixed with the wind and water.
"Mr. Matsuda, the meeting is about to start, let's talk about cooperation or something."
Hideki Hanyu doesn't match each other's words at all.
Even if he has an idea about the "glasses factory", it is impossible to give the copyright of "Saint Seiya" to the other party.
In addition to not being able to get along with the money, it is impossible for the Shogakukan to agree to it even if he supports it.
After all, the strength of the "glasses factory" is still a little worse.
Sure enough, when the meeting began, Matsuda Yasu, a guy who came to try his luck, didn't even have a chance to speak at the meeting.
From the very beginning, the goal of the cooperation of Constellation Culture was only Bandai and Sony, and who to choose in the end was nothing more than to see who gave the better conditions of the two families.
Even if Hitotsubashi Publishing Group cooperates with Bandai for many years, it will not give up its interests in vain.
Obviously, this kind of negotiation of design interests cannot be resolved in a single meeting.
Everyone expressed their opinions and worked hard all afternoon, and the only result was that the time for the next meeting was determined.
Speaking of which, in fact, Bandai and Sony still reached an opinion, that is, to kick out the eye-catching "glasses factory" first.
Therefore, after the meeting, Hitotsubashi Publishing Group officially informed Matsuda that Coreland Technology Co., Ltd. would not be used for the next meeting.
Looking at the slightly lonely back of Uncle Matsuda Yasushi leaving, Hideki Hanyu didn't say anything.
Without strength, that's it, he also needs to make the other party feel desperate before he can really shoot.
At the end of the meeting, Hideki Hanyu left the elementary school hall with his assistant, and when he arrived at the parking lot to leave, someone found him.
"Hanyu-sensei, I don't know if you can talk alone?"
He was very surprised by the identity of the person who came, and it turned out to be a representative of Shueisha.
Thinking that this was the place of the Elementary School Building, Hanyu Hideki didn't speak, gave Reiko Uemura a look, and then got in the car first.
Seeing this, Reiko Uemura hurriedly took out her business card and handed it to the other party.
"Hanyu-sensei has something to do today, this is my contact information, if there is anything, you can contact me to make an appointment in advance."
After Reiko Uemura finished speaking, she bowed and saluted, and followed Hideki Hanyu to get into the car and leave.
The Shueisha representative pinched his business card, not embarrassed by Hanyu Hideki's ignorance, but on the contrary, his eyes showed a glint of excitement.
Because if there is no rejection, it means that there is an opportunity.
With 2.94 million copies, this is the latest sales of "Weekly Junior Sunday".
Maybe the average person doesn't care about this number.
However, representatives in the manga publishing industry knew that this kind of sales figure surpassed Shueisha's "Weekly Shonen Jump", which was the best result in Sunday's history.
And the root cause of all this, in addition to Rumiko Takahashi's "Lucky Star Kid", "Saint Seiya" is the biggest root.
No matter how good "Lucky Star Kid" is, it only continues to consolidate the original fans of "Weekly Junior Sunday", and cannot raise the ceiling of Sunday.
But "Saint Seiya" is different, it helps Sunday fill the gap in the hot-blooded youth manga and raise the ceiling of Sunday.
Shueisha's biggest concern is that "Saint Seiya" is just the beginning for Hideki Hanyu.
After all, throughout the history of the comic industry, a mature cartoonist can never create only one masterpiece.
Shueisha can't tolerate Hideki Hanyu coming up with a new work to help Sunday carve up their share of the hot-blooded youth manga market.
If "Saint Seiya" had been serialized on Jump, and the sales volume would have exceeded 2 million, it would have been enough to help Jump consolidate its position.
So even if Hideki Hanyu still has a new idea, JUMP has to try to get a collaboration.
If they could agree to cooperate with the Shogakukan, then the Shogakukan should be ready to cooperate with them.
Leaving the Shogakukan, Hideki Hanyu did not go home, but went to the Miyu Accounting Office.
"Why did Hanyu-sensei come over today, do you have any comments on our service?"
Seeing Hideki Hanyu, Akio Mitomo, the president of Mitomo Accounting Firm, was very enthusiastic.
If you don't be enthusiastic, you can't do it, not to mention the tens of millions of commissions earned by Hanyu Hideki last year.
The celebrity effect brought by Hideki Hanyu alone has helped Sanyou Accounting Firm expand its business by an unknown number of businesses.
For Akio Mitomo, Hideki Hanyu is already the most important customer after the Tanaka family and the Yanai family.
"The purpose of my visit this time is to hope that President Sanyou will help me form a team with experience in acquisitions."
Hearing Hideki Hanyu's words, Mitomo Akio suddenly became interested.
The acquisition, whether it is the commission or the seniority improvement brought about by the successful acquisition, is extremely important to Sanyou Accounting Firm.
"Hanyu can rest assured, I will definitely help Hanyu to build the most capable acquisition team and ensure that the personnel are the elite of our firm."
Speaking of which, Miyu Akio continued to ask, "I wonder if Hanyu-sensei already has an acquisition target, or if we will screen the scope?" ”
"I already have an acquisition target in Nakano Ward, called Coreland Technology Co., Ltd."
Saying that, Hideki Hanyu took out the business card that Matsuda Yasushi gave him and handed it to Akio Mitomo.
"We will immediately form a team and start conducting preliminary investigation and market value assessment. ”
"President Sanyou, I only have one requirement for the preliminary work, that is, the speed must be fast, and I need to give an answer as soon as possible if I succeed or not."
"Yes, I understand, I will give Hanyu-sensei an answer in a week at most."
Mitomo Akio agreed, and then asked, "Can Hanyu-sensei tell me the idea of acquiring this club, whether he plans to acquire it wholly or only as a controlling shareholder?" ”
"Try to buy it wholly as much as possible."
Hanyu Hideki knows that Yasushi Matsuda is a good manager, but it is estimated that it is difficult for such a person to be subservient.
It's impossible to work with the other party without paying a price.
But if the cost is too great, then he might as well start all over again.
"Yes, I see."
For Hanyu Hideki's requirements, Mitomo Akio wrote them down one by one.
"Then please leave it to President Sanyou."
"Hanyu-sensei is polite, this is what I should do."
"Then I won't disturb the work of the president of Sanyou, and I will leave."
"I'll send Hanyu-sensei away."
Mitomo Akio respectfully sent Hanyu Hideki out the door.
After sending Hanyu Hideki away and Akio Mitomo returned to the office, he immediately gathered his elite staff.
Yoshihiro Yada, who has been in charge of Hideki Hanyu's business, is of course among them.
Although in the eyes of Akio Mitomo, Yoshihiro Yada's ability is average, after all, he has worked with Hideki Hanyu for so long, and he is still very competent as a communicator.
"Your next task is to complete the preliminary investigation and market value assessment within a week of the acquisition project entrusted by Mr. Hanyu, targeting Coreland Technology Co., Ltd. in Nakano Ward."
When the president of the company said this, his expression changed to stern.
"In the next week, there will be no holidays, no commuting time, everyone will have a bonus for completing the task, and everyone will be deducted if they can't complete it, do you understand?"
"Yes!"
The men in black agreed in unison.
President Sanyou continued to arrange the work, distribute the materials, and after doing everything, he left Yoshihiro Yada behind.
"Yada-san, you don't have to be responsible for the specific work, your most important job is to report the progress of the investigation to Mr. Hanyu at any time and do a good job of communicating at work."
"I see."
"Alright, let's get to work."
……
On the day that Hideki Hanyu left from Miyu's accounting firm, the theme song of "Love, Homecoming" sung by Akina Nakamori, the music video and movie trailer for "Future" began to be broadcast on major TV stations.
The promotion of the movie "Love, Home" has entered the final sprint stage.
Prior to this, although the promotion of Love Home was also very frequent, it did not cause much repercussions.
After all, today's neon movies, except for theatrical animations and individual comedies, basically lack attention.
Everyone now likes to watch Hollywood movies and watch action movies on Hong Kong Island.
If it weren't for the blessing of the original book in "Love, Go Home", I am afraid that I would not even be able to see this splash now.
However, all of this changed completely after the music video of the song "Future へ" was broadcast.
On the day of the broadcast, some viewers called the TV station and said that the song was very good and hoped to play it a few more times.
And that night, someone ordered the song on the radio.
By the next day, the song "Mirai" had made it to the on-demand charts of many radio stations, and more viewers had called to hope that the TV station would broadcast more music videos.
In particular, many fans of "Love, Go Home" said that this song and music video perfectly restored their imagination of the plot in the book.
Family affection, maternal love, growth, and many touching elements are intertwined, resulting in most of the fans who like this song being adults.
Because of the problem of debut positioning, the largest number of Akina Nakamori's fans were teenagers.
But the sudden explosion of "Future へ" made the adult group begin to pay attention to this young idol who had just debuted.
The little girl's unique middle and low tones, singing affectionately, sent touching emotions into the hearts of the audience, and I don't know how many people liked her singing.
These people with the strongest spending power in the neon society, plus fans of the original book of "Love, Come Home", have gone to video stores to buy the record of "Future へ".
According to the arrangement of Shochiku Pictures, the record of "Future へ" will be released together with the release of the movie "Love, Go Home".
Therefore, when fans went to the video store and hugged the name of Akina Nakamori, they realized that there was no song "Mirai へ" at all, only a debut single "Slow Motion".
Some of them heard that they didn't, so they were ready to buy it when it was released.
And some fans who became interested in Akina Nakamori because of "Future へ" bought a record of "Slow Motion".
However, among the fans who bought the record, some people felt that it was not as good as "Future へ".
It's an average song, the little girl's mid-bass is completely gone, and she is pinching her throat and pretending to be cute.
But there are also some people who think it's good, and they are more interested in Nakamori Akina.
It was in this context that Warner Vanguard was surprised to find that the sales of "Slow Motion" had skyrocketed in two days.
According to the original estimate, the sales volume in the second week was the same as in the first week.
The sudden outbreak in the last two days pushed the weekly sales to 17,000 copies in one fell swoop, helping Akina Nakamori to enter the top 10 of the public trust list for the first time.
After determining the reason for the surge in sales, Warner Pioneer realized that it was because of the help brought by the song "Future へ".
But for this reason, Warner Pioneer fell into a tangle of happiness and helplessness.
Happily, "Future へ" has helped Nakamori Akina circle countless fans and increased the sales of the debut song "Slow Motion".
And helplessly, the song "Future へ" has nothing to do with Warner Pioneer at all.
The lyrics and music are written by Hideki Hanyu, and the producer is YM Records, which is released on the cloud, and the copyright has nothing to do with them.
Helping to promote it is equivalent to helping YM Records advertise.
Don't talk about being busy in vain, if you want to include this song in the album later, it is impossible for Lala's album to sell.
With such a popular song, as long as YM Records is not stupid, it will definitely include the song in the movie soundtrack.
finally had a song that could be played, but it turned out to be not my own.
But at least to comfort herself, Akina Nakamori increased her popularity through this song, laying a good foundation for the release of the second single.
What is more uncomfortable than Warner Pioneer is actually other competing firms.
Seeing that Akina Nakamori was about to be mushy on her debut, she was saved by a movie theme song.
Now, even if they want to make any small moves, they are not in a hurry at all.
As the saying goes, there is a heart to carry flowers and flowers do not bloom, and there is no intention to plant willows and willows.
The publicity team of the movie "Love, Go Home" didn't expect the song "Future へ" to become so popular at all.
Originally, because of the poor publicity effect, they have begun to shift the focus of publicity to Hanyu Hideki.
Who would have thought that Akina Nakamori sang "Future へ" and killed it.
Kiyoshi Shimazu took the initiative and immediately changed his publicity plan.
First of all, YM Records was asked to immediately distribute the record of "Future へ" without waiting for the movie to be released, so as to further expand the influence of this song.
The second is "Toruko's Room", which was originally arranged for Hideki Hanyu to appear alone, but now it has become a joint recording by Hideki Hanyu and Akina Nakamori.
If there is heat, you don't catch it, and since everyone is interested in Akina Nakamori who sings "Future へ", Shimazu Kiyoshi decided to show it to everyone.
And on May 15, the day Hideki Hanyu and Akina Nakamori appeared on the show, another thing happened that made the film promotion team happy.
In the latest Asahi Shimbun newspaper, the 1981 Neon Elderly Fanfu Ranking was announced.
What is the ranking of the elderly fanpay, which is the annual income ranking of the neon rich according to the statistics of the neon IRS according to the tax declaration statistics.
Every year when this list is released, it is the happiest time for the neon melon-eating masses.
What they are most interested in is looking for their favorite celebrities on the list.
And in this list, Hideki Hanyu is impressively on the list of writers.
In 1981, Hideki Hanyu earned a total of 560 million yen, topping the list of neon writers.
And his income is completely unbeatable in the list of writers, and no one can match it.
The income of other writers behind him has fallen off a cliff compared to him.
Let's see who's behind him.
The second Ryotaro Sima, looking at the entire neon literary world, no matter how it is arranged, this is a great writer who can be ranked in the forefront, and the other party's income last year was 290 million yen.
The third is Yojiro Ishisaka, who is also well-known at home and abroad, and the other party's income last year was 210 million yen.
In the back, there are also Nishimura Toshiyuki, Matsumoto Kiyohari, and Yokozo Masashi, these masters of the neon reasoning world.
But these famous and long-famous writers were completely suppressed by Hideki Hanyu on the income list.
Even the combined income of two or three people is not as tall as Hanyu Hideki alone, and it can barely be surpassed if you count Nishimura Toshiyuki.
Although many lists last year said that Hideki Hanyu had a high income, the IRS's real hammer did not come out for a day, and everyone did not believe it for a day.
Now that the list is out, everyone finally believes it.
Book lovers who like Hideki Hanyu are running to tell each other, as if they have made so much money.
At the same time, the neon picture book industry is also proud of Hideki Hanyu's topping of the income charts.
Picture books have been developed in Neon for decades and have been carefully cultivated by many senior writers in the market.
Today, it can be regarded as blossoming and bearing fruit in Hideki Hanyu.
Hideki Hanyu is the first writer to make it to the list as a picture book writer.
And being on the list is the first place.
Although a large part of Hideki Hanyu's income is brought by the two parts.
But in the eyes of the literary world, Hideki Hanyu's biggest label is still that of a picture book writer.
Such an achievement can not only inspire picture book writers who are still working hard, but also allow more people to devote themselves to the industry of picture book writers.
After all, no matter how much you say, it's better to put out the real benefits.
Hideki Hanyu's ascension to the top of the list this time is destined to bring great benefits to the development of the picture book industry.
Many seniors in the industry have decided to propose to the Agency for Cultural Affairs that Hideki Hanyu be included in the list of candidates for the Order of Culture in recognition of his contribution to the development of picture books.
