Chapter 273: América's News
December 14th.
In the evening.
Dressed in a formal suit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, Hideki Hanyu drove to the Tokyo Prince Hotel.
Today is dentsu's year-end stakeholder reception.
Originally, he was only invited to the reception as a representative of cloud entertainment.
However, after Eri Kitahara learned that he was coming, he also served as the representative of Genie Entertainment by the way.
Just save yourself from having to arrange for someone else.
This makes Hanyu Hideki want to complain very much, and one by one when he is an employee, he doesn't know how to work hard, and he always wants to push the trouble to the boss.
He didn't come early, so when he arrived at the door of the hotel, he found that the guest's car had already blocked the door.
At Neon, Dentsu's year-end reception may not be the biggest, but it's definitely the most lively.
It is definitely the most prosperous "starlight".
Because of the control of such important resources as advertising, any club that eats in the entertainment industry dares not to give face to Dentsu.
Therefore, every year at the reception of dentsu, there is no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women, and all kinds of celebrities.
It's just that those artists who have become famous come here mainly to develop their business.
And those artists who have empty looks and are not yet famous basically come with the opportunity to hit the luck.
Maybe there will be big people who take a fancy to them and give them a chance to get on top.
Or maybe with good luck, he caught a dentsu MAN as her husband and retired directly to live the life of Mrs. Diantsu.
There are more stars, and there are naturally more people chasing stars.
On both sides of the entrance of the hotel, a large number of media gathered, hoping to get some valuable news.
Hanyu Hideki blocked the door for more than ten minutes before finally getting off the bus.
The hotel service staff helped him pull the car door, and Hideki Hanyu got out of the car and straightened his clothes, and strode towards the hotel.
The media is naturally no stranger to Hideki Hanyu.
There is so much news to report about him, a national topical figure.
His own works, emotional gossip, and the company's business, each of which the public likes to watch.
"Hanyu-sensei, someone photographed Yasuko Sawaguchi shopping with a mysterious man, may I ask if that is you."
As soon as I heard this question, I didn't understand the rules.
Eighty percent of them are tabloids with no origin.
The big media reports on this aspect have remained largely silent.
It's not just cloud entertainment that has said hello.
is also because of Hideki Hanyu's current status.
It is no longer possible for the media to seize on certain news and hype it up unless it has the tacit approval of Hideki Hanyu.
Otherwise, Hideki Hanyu also has his own media channels.
Bosses, who has no problem in private, what good is it for you to blow up my scandal and I to blow up your scandal.
"Shogakukan announced that Hanyu-sensei will have a new work released after the New Year, can you reveal what kind of work it is?"
Hanyu Hideki, who completely ignored the guy before, immediately stopped when he heard this question.
A formulaic smile appeared on his face.
"It's true that there are new works that are about to be published, or the core of the story is still a growth, but it's a different story, and I think my fans will like it."
Seeing that Hideki Hanyu stopped to answer questions, the media hurriedly took pictures and hurriedly asked other questions.
But this time, Hanyu Hideki didn't speak again, and after saying a few words of "sorry", he walked into the hotel.
Although the reporters regretted it, they soon put the matter behind them as other celebrities arrived.
Anyway, the photos have been taken, and it will definitely not be a problem to put them in the most conspicuous position when they are typeset tomorrow to attract some readers who like Hanyu Hideki.
"Hanyu-san, I'm a little late today."
In the hall where the reception was held, Yutaro Hatoyama greeted him warmly.
"There are too many guests at Dentsu, and I've been stuck in front of the door for too long."
Hanyu Hideki spread his hands and said in an exaggerated tone.
"But I'm very happy to have Hanyu-san here, after all, Hanyu-san is also a big customer of Dentsu."
Yutaro Hatoyama said with a smile.
The big customer in his mouth naturally refers to elf entertainment.
In two days, Pokeball 2 will be fully available on Neon.
But all kinds of propaganda advertisements started as early as a month ago.
Dentsu is a good partner, of course.
While Cloud Entertainment is one of the content providers for dentsu TV commercials.
But there's more to advertising than just TV commercials.
Placement of print advertising, outdoor advertising, radio advertising, media magazines, etc.
The scope of dentsu's business is quite extensive.
Genie Entertainment handed over overseas advertisements to Storm Advertising, and Neon Honbang's advertisements to Dentsu.
According to the sales volume of the Pokeball 2, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a big customer.
"Everyone is a friend, and Mr. Hatoyama doesn't have to see each other like this."
"That's right, they're all friends, and I still have to greet other guests, so I won't talk to Hanyu Sando."
"Mr. Hatoyama, please."
Bidding farewell to Yutaro Hatoyama, Hideki Hanyu took a glass of champagne and strolled around the hall casually.
Many of the companies that were able to attend the dentsu reception today have cooperated with cloud entertainment, and many have dealt with elf entertainment.
As a representative of the two clubs, Hideki Hanyu met and must deal with it.
It doesn't matter if it's useful or not, you have to do it.
Blindly clear and high, will only make the road narrower and narrower.
After socializing for a while, Hideki Hanyu found a place to sit near the stage.
Be prepared to take a sneaky break.
On the stage next to him, there will be a speech from the senior management of Dentsu to express their gratitude to the guests.
But at this time, the stage was performed by invited singers.
At this time, the person who is singing is Mori Shinichi, who is known as the king of neon singing.
The singer king, who has just divorced his wife, is singing his famous song "Cape Skirt".
Hanyu Hideki's deepest impression of this is because Teresa Teng had a brief relationship with each other when she came to Neon for a short time in the 70s.
But what Hanyu Hideki didn't expect was that he just remembered the memory of Teresa Teng.
As a result, after Mori Jinichi finished the performance, Teresa Teng really appeared on the stage with only one singer interval.
The other party sang a song called "Repayment".
At this time, he remembered that Teresa Teng entered the neon music scene for the second time, and it seems that it was this year.
It's just that when she first entered the development of Neon, Teresa Teng signed for Universal's Baolido Records.
And this time, it was Taurus Palace Records that joined.
The owner of this record company is named Minoru Funaki, and he can be regarded as Teresa Teng's hardcore follower.
Teresa Teng came to Neon for the first time to develop, Minoru Zhoumu is still a senior executive of Baolido Records, and Minoru Zhoumu's activities are all in charge of Minoru Zhoumu.
Teresa Teng's second visit to Neon was also invited by Minoru Zhoumu.
It is said that in order to help Teresa Teng's development, the current Taurus Palace Records was specially established.
Even many years after Teresa Teng's death, Minoru Funaki will hold a commemorative event for Teresa Teng in Neon every year.
It's a pity that the strength of Taurus Palace Records is too weak, although there are resources of Polydor behind it, but it is a small label after all.
Hideki Hanyu doesn't quite remember how Teresa Teng has developed this year.
But he knew that Teresa Teng would be invited to participate in the Red and White Song Party next year.
It's still very good to think about it.
It's a pity that he has nothing to do with Universal Music, he can't talk about friendship with Pauly Dot, and he doesn't know Teresa Teng at all.
It's impossible to cooperate.
However, there are enough artists in cloud entertainment today, and I don't care about one more or less celebrity in my memory.
Put your mind in your head, enjoy the singing of sweet songs that only exist in memories, and you also have the feeling of witnessing history.
But at this moment, a female voice suddenly sounded.
"Hanyu-san, no wonder I haven't seen anyone after looking for you for a long time, so I was hiding here to watch the beauty sing."
Hanyu Hideki turned his head to look and found a little girl standing behind him at some point.
It's not someone else, it's the granddaughter of the old man Murayama, Yumiko Murayama.
"Miss Murayama, long time no see." Hideki Hanyu greeted.
"It's been a long time since I saw him, I went to cloud entertainment practice in the summer, and I didn't see Hanyu-san for more than a month."
Yumiko Murayama pretended to be dissatisfied.
"Really? Maybe it was too busy with other work at the time. Hideki Hanyu snorted, trying to cope with the past.
"How did I hear that Hanyu-san went on a trip to accompany his family and went to Kansai to watch the summer liga match."
Yumiko Murayama stared at Hideki Hanyu.
"Huh? Did Miss Murayama come alone today? Why didn't I see Mr. Murayama. ”
Hideki Hanyu forked.
He came today, and he really didn't see the old man Murayama.
"Hmph, you know how to pretend to be garlic."
After Yumiko Murayama finished speaking, she suddenly looked at Teresa Teng who was singing on the stage, her eyes rolled, and she laughed like a little fox.
Then the little girl called the waiter on the scene and whispered a few words.
Seeing this, Hideki Hanyu suddenly felt bad and hurriedly asked.
"What does Miss Murayama want to do?"
"It's nothing, just a gift." Yumiko Murayama said with a wave of her hand.
Soon after, at the end of Teresa Teng's singing.
Hanyu Hideki saw the waiter just now, carried a flower basket to the stage, and whispered a few words to Teresa Teng.
Then Teresa Teng actually walked in his direction.
Hanyu Hideki didn't care about being polite or impolite at this time, and turned back directly to ask Yumiko Murayama, who was holding back a smile.
"What did you do?"
Yumiko Murayama said with an innocent face, "It's nothing, it's just to see Hanyu-san watch the beauty sing so seriously and help you chase stars." ”
Seeing that Hanyu Hideki glared at him seriously, Yumiko Murayama didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore and hurriedly explained.
"I really didn't do anything, haven't Hanyu-san seen the singing? Sending flower baskets is a normal thing. ”
Hanyu Hideki then remembered that it seemed that Teresa Teng was in neon, and she was classified into the category of singers.
Just like Jackie Chan in neon, he belongs to idol artists.
Regardless of this time, he didn't care about blaming Yumiko Murayama, because Teresa Teng, who was holding a basket of flowers, had already come to him.
"Thank you, Mr. Hanyu, for the flower basket."
Teresa Teng expressed her gratitude to Hideki Hanyu in a sweet voice.
Of course she knows Hideki Hanyu, a neon celebrity, a well-deserved big man in the entertainment industry.
She came to Neon to develop, and she naturally had to be cautious about people like Hideki Hanyu.
Hideki Hanyu replied politely, "You're welcome, Miss Deng's singing voice is very beautiful." ”
The two said goodbye to each other after just a few polite words, and it seemed that Yumiko Murayama really didn't do anything wrong.
However, it was somewhat abrupt to give a flower basket to the singer at the reception.
Many people in the industry will inevitably use their imagination when they see that it is Hideki Hanyu who sends the flower basket.
Although the age difference between the two is relatively large.
But Hideki Hanyu is not a girlfriend who hasn't talked about the New Year.
Yumiko Murayama was worried that Hanyu Hideki would trouble her, and after Teresa Teng left, she also slipped away.
Only Hideki Hanyu with an innocent face was left.
He thought to himself, when this matter spreads, it will be difficult for him to become a playboy, and there will be another rumor of not too big and small lace.
But he doesn't have to worry about having more debts, and he doesn't itch if he has more lice, and he doesn't care now.
But what he didn't expect was that not long after Yumiko Murayama slipped away, the old man Murayama came to apologize.
Indicates that his granddaughter is young and ignorant.
In order to show compensation, you can directly compensate your granddaughter to Hanyu Hideki.
When to get married, as long as Hideki Hanyu speaks, the Murayama family will definitely not mention any conditions.
When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he couldn't wait to look at this old man.
The heart said that the old fox had a good calculation, and he wanted him to be his grandson-in-law for such a trivial matter.
Dream!
Of course, Hanyu Hideki couldn't have agreed.
Now he suspects that Yumiko Murayama came over just now, and it was all arranged by this old fox.
"Hey, Mr. Murayama, I saw an acquaintance who was going to talk about something and miss him."
Hanyu Hideki even found a reason to flash people.
How could the old man Murayama not guess Hanyu Hideki's thoughts, and shook his head regretfully.
"Murayama-san, I advise you not to waste your efforts, Hanyu-san's age, it's a time to be playful, how can you get married."
It was Yutaro Hatoyama who spoke.
Apparently, Yutaro Hatoyama heard the conversation between the two.
"Hatoyama-san persuaded me like this, it's not that your Hatoyama family can't find a girl of the right age, otherwise how can you let me take the lead."
The old man Murayama didn't take Hatoyama Yutaro's words to heart at all.
A young talent like Hideki Hanyu is not just a family in Murayama.
In a large family, it is not easy to raise a qualified heir.
It's also not easy to find the right marriage partner.
Hanyu Hideki, a young man from an innocent background and capable and financial, who doesn't want it.
Unable to find out, Yutaro Hatoyama said no more.
They belong to different factions in Dentsu, and although they are not enemies, they are by no means close.
Naturally, he didn't want to see Hideki Hanyu become the son-in-law of the Murayama family.
The conversation between the old man Murayama and Yutaro Hatoyama, Hanyu Hideki naturally didn't know.
After he found a reason to leave, seeing that the speech of the senior management of Dentsu had not yet begun, it was not good to leave now, so he could only socialize on the spot first.
At this time, an acquaintance who had worked with him came up.
The president of Kadokawa Pictures, Haruki Kadokawa.
"The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Space", which was co-produced by the other party in the cloud, was a box office hit.
At the Neon Film Academy Awards two years ago, he also crossed paths with each other.
The cooperation between the cloud film and Kadokawa was quite successful.
However, listening to what Asako Hirohashi meant, the helmsman of Kadokawa is very interested in Crescent Cinemas and has great ambitions.
I want Kadokawa's theater chain to merge with Crescent Theater and become Neon's largest theater chain in one fell swoop.
Seriously, Hideki Hanyu didn't think about the merger at all, and he wasn't interested in becoming Neon's No. 1 theater chain.
When the bubble blows up in the future, you can consider selling Crescent Cinemas directly to the other party.
Then you can wait until everyone can't open the pot, and then buy it back at a low price.
"President Hanyu, farewell to the Neon Film Academy, I haven't seen him for two years, and President Hanyu's demeanor is still the same."
This time to attend the reception, Haruki Kadokawa did not come alone, but also brought a female companion.
Therefore, after saying hello, I introduced my female companion by the way.
"President Hanyu, this is Miss Mieko Harada."
"Harada-san, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Hideki Hanyu greeted politely.
This beauty with light facial features, but quite intriguing, is definitely one who will never be missing in the videos of Showa beauties in later generations.
The most familiar clip is the picture of the other party in "Hell" in 1979.
In that movie, Mieko Harada is dressed in white, with black hair and a shawl, and red lips like blood, which has a cold and bewitching beauty.
can be regarded as the peak of Mieko Harada's appearance, and in the future, the other party pays more attention to acting.
won more than a dozen Best Actress awards in her lifetime.
I have to find a similar person for this experience, probably similar to Zhang Yanyu in Xiangjiang.
When he debuted, he was used as a vase, but he quickly became a recognized acting school and won numerous awards.
Haruki Kadokawa said at this time, "I have recently been preparing an adaptation of the work of Kazuo Tan, and Harada-san will be the heroine of the new drama. ”
"Congratulations to Kadokawa-san, the work of Tan Kazuo's predecessors, coupled with Harada-san's interpretation, will definitely be a successful movie."
Hideki Hanyu touted politely.
Tan Kazuo is a well-known writer at the same time as Osamu Dazai, and he is a good friend of Osamu Dazai.
These two people, along with their contemporaries Tanosuke, Ango Sakaguchi, Jun Ishikawa, Hidemitsu Tanaka and other writers, were jokingly called the 'scoundrels' in the neon literary circles of the time.
Osamu Dazai committed suicide five times in his life, martyred three times, and met many friends, including suicide with Tan Kazuo with gas.
However, Tan Yixiong was afraid of death and did not commit suicide.
Hanyu Hideki, who has been in the neon literary circle all year round, has learned some of the old things of the past, just to chat with those old antiques to have a topic.
And Haruki Kadokawa talked about adapting Tan Kazuo's work, calculating the time, he only thought of one work.
"The Man of the House of Fire".
In his opinion, this is completely an autobiographical work of old-school writers.
It probably tells the story of the male protagonist who is a well-known writer, who obviously has a wife and children, but still pursues a free extramarital affair, and finally repents and returns to the family.
When Hideki Hanyu first watched this work, of course, it wasn't for the plot.
Because this work is supervised by the old rascal Shinji Fukasaku.
In his own movies, this guy likes to let big-name actresses shoot extremely exposed bed scenes.
Mieko Harada played the role of the hero's extramarital mistress in "The Man of the Fire House", and presented the largest exposure scene in the actor's career.
The actor also met another confidante during his travels, played by Keiko Matsusaka, who also did not escape a large-scale bed scene.
Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu couldn't help but glance at Mieko Harada a few more times.
If I'm not mistaken, the other party seems to be in love with her boyfriend Ling Ishibashi, and they will be engaged next year.
When I got engaged, I filmed the exaggerated scale bed scene with other men in the movie.
Look at the intimacy of the other party and Haruki Kadokawa without shying away.
Hanyu Hideki couldn't help but sigh that to find this kind of actress who is willing to "dedicate" herself to art as a wife, her husband must first get used to the green light above his head.
"President Hanyu, the new movie Kadokawa has decided to cooperate with Shochiku, Matsu...... I don't know if I'm interested in participating in the cloud screening. ”
Haruki Kadokawa wanted to say that Keiko Matsuzaka would also participate.
can think of the relationship between Hanyu Hideki and Keiko Matsusaka, so I swallowed the words temporarily.
"Since Shochiku is involved, the cloud film still won't join, and we will have a lot of projects next year."
Hideki Hanyu refused.
He didn't care about Haruki Kadokawa's gaffes, after all, it was all years ago.
Seeing that Hideki Hanyu's expression had not changed at all, and he looked indifferent, Haruki Kadokawa was finally relieved.
The fuse that the two broke up that year, the "Doton Horikawa" directed by Shinji Fukasaku, the original work was released by Kadokawa Shoten.
Haruki Kadokawa has some inside story about that incident.
Now it seems that Keiko Matsuzaka gave up Hideki Hanyu in order to shoot "Doton Horikawa", which is undoubtedly a very stupid choice.
But then again, who would have thought that in just a few years, Hideki Hanyu would develop so fast.
"That's a shame, but I still have a few good projects on hand, and if Hanyu is interested, we can work together again."
Haruki Kadokawa proposed again.
At the reception, it was normal to talk about this kind of cooperation, and Hanyu Hideki didn't know how many times he met tonight.
Just as he was about to say something, Dentsu's senior management stood on the stage and prepared to give a speech.
Hideki Hanyu and Haruki Kadokawa could only stop the discussion first and walk in the direction of the stage.
After listening to the speech, Hideki Hanyu planned to leave early after greeting several senior executives of Dentsu.
Who would have thought that Haruki Kadokawa came over again at this time, "President Hanyu, we are only halfway through the cooperation just now, why don't we find a place to continue talking?" ”
Hideki Hanyu thought quickly when he heard this.
Although the current cloud entertainment can make a lot of money every year just by relying on the animated theatrical version.
The investment in live-action movies is large, the income is still unstable, and the peripheral interests are even less pitiful.
However, mosquito legs are also meat, and money does not make bastards.
In the next few years, Kadokawa will still make a lot of good movies, and there will be many blockbusters.
It's okay to cooperate and help him earn money for a few supercars.
Therefore, Hanyu Hideki nodded in agreement, "No problem, the next step will be arranged by President Kadokawa." ”
When Haruki Kadokawa heard this, he said happily, "I promise to satisfy President Hanyu." ”
Hideki Hanyu took a fancy to Kadokawa Ei's project.
Haruki Kadokawa doesn't value the resources of cloud entertainment.
Not to mention anything else, just the stars of Crescent Cinema and Cloud Arts make Haruki Kadokawa quite greedy.
In this way, Hideki Hanyu and Haruki Kadokawa left Dentsu's reception and went to Shinjuku City.
Along the way, Haruki Kadokawa treats Hideki Hanyu quite warmly.
Haruki Kadokawa, a self-proclaimed talent, always feels that Hideki Hanyu has similar interests with him, and has a very good impression of Hideki Hanyu.
Previously, when the negotiations between Hanyu Hideki and Shogakukan reached an impasse, Kadokawa Shoten gave the best treatment.
It was also an order given by Haruki Kadokawa.
It's a pity that he didn't expect that the father and son of Toru Soga in the Shogakukan would be so bold.
insisted on renewing the contract with Hideki Hanyu under unprecedented conditions, so that Kadokawa Bookstore didn't even have a chance to talk.
After the contract was renewed, Hideki Hanyu's works were a big hit, and Haruki Kadokawa was still annoyed for a while.
"To tell you the truth, Kadokawa Bookstore really wanted to sign President Hanyu before, but unfortunately President Hanyu didn't give us a chance."
"That's a shame."
Faced with this kind of topic, Hanyu Hideki is certainly unlikely to respond positively.
Now that I have signed a contract with the Shogakukan, I still have to have the professional ethics that I should have.
While the two were talking, the car had already arrived at its destination.
Hanyu Hideki thought that the other party would take him to some nightclub, izakaya or something.
Who would have thought that the place they arrived at was actually a tea house.
And the tea house that can be favored by Haruki Kadokawa, the environment is naturally good.
"The gyokuro of this tea house is good, and President Hanyu should like it."
Haruki Kadokawa said, taking Hideki Hanyu to a separate courtyard.
As soon as he entered the door, a middle-aged man walked up and whispered to Haruki Kadokawa, "President, it's already arranged." ”
Haruki Kadokawa nodded, and the man took the initiative to leave.
Then Haruki Kadokawa continued to walk inside with Hideki Hanyu and entered the room in the small courtyard.
Hanyu Hideki entered the door only to find that there were already several women sitting in the quietly decorated tea room.
Several women are dressed differently, some are wearing kimonos, some are wearing skirts, and their looks and figures have their own characteristics, but they are all beautiful women who are one in a hundred.
"President Hanyu, how can you drink tea without the service of a beauty, President Hanyu will stay if he likes whichever one he likes, if he likes them all, it doesn't hurt to stay together."
Haruki Kadokawa's words came out.
Hanyu Hideki wanted to complain, not to mention the tea this big night, and to accompany a bunch of beautiful women.
Haruki Kadokawa's strange brain circuit is really different, no wonder he will be ousted by his younger brother in the future.
However, when talking about things in a place like a tea house, it is said that it is accompanied by a beauty, then it is really a companion.
After all, there is also a tea master service throughout the process, and it is impossible to learn from Toshiichi Takura's gang.
Of course, Hideki Hanyu couldn't really leave all these women behind.
He looked at it about it, and saw that a woman in a black dress and a pearl necklace around her neck was a little familiar, so he stretched out his hand and pointed, "Then this beauty will stay." ”
After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, the women who were not selected were disappointed, and left with some reluctance on their faces.
After all, eighty percent of those who can be arranged to accompany this kind of formal field are people in the circle.
Today, I am accompanied by the two big guys Haruki Kadokawa and Hideki Hanyu, and if they are given a chance, it will be enough for them to come out.
The woman who was left behind by Hideki Hanyu immediately sat down next to Hideki Hanyu and introduced herself softly.
"Hello President Hanyu, my name is Rei Akasaka."
When Hideki Hanyu heard this, he thought to himself that it was indeed this one.
Just now, he looked familiar, and he was worried that he would admit his mistake.
This is the goddess in the minds of countless old critics in later generations.
It's a pity that the other party suddenly retired at the peak, which makes I don't know how many people regret it.
After a few people were seated, the tea master of the tea house began to serve.
Hideki Hanyu and Haruki Kadokawa discuss projects that they can work on.
The beauties around them sensibly brought tea to them and played a good role as a companion.
Speaking of which, although Rei Akasaka will be a star in the future.
But in addition to serving tea during the banquet, there was no excessive behavior, and he was quite reserved.
On the other hand, Mieko Harada on the opposite side is almost about to stick to Haruki Kadokawa.
That picture made Hanyu Hideki couldn't help but feel sorry for Mieko Harada's fiancé for a few seconds.
At this time, Rei Akasaka, who was beside her, happened to bring over a cup of tea, "President Hanyu, please use it." ”
"Thank you, Miss Akasaka."
After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, seeing that Haruki Kadokawa hooked up with Mieko Harada again, he had to chat with Rei Akasaka next to him.
Through chatting, Hideki Hanyu also roughly figured out the situation of Rei Akasaka next to him.
The other party had just graduated from college, and because of his good looks, he was favored by a scout from a firm and invited to sign a contract.
Rei Akasaka's family conditions are ordinary, and she also wants to change her life by being an actor, so she agreed to sign a contract.
Unfortunately, although her own conditions are good, the contracted firm has limited resources, and she has not had any decent opportunities for half a year.
Today, Kadokawa Ei needs a beautiful woman to accompany her, so that her office provides a few people.
When I heard that it was a relatively public place like a tea house, Rei Akasaka, who had never been able to get a chance, wanted to try her luck.
Hanyu Hideki knows that even if the other party doesn't come this time, he will get a chance next year.
However, it was an opportunity to shoot a Fengyue movie, and in order to become famous, Rei Akasaka still agreed.
Then, with excellent conditions, he became a hot star.
And then there is the familiar routine, which is frantically squeezed by the studio and the film club.
made seven movies in more than a year, tired his body, and retired silently at his peak.
In this way, Hideki Hanyu and Haruki Kadokawa determined several cooperation projects in small talk.
The tea party was soon coming to an end.
Haruki Kadokawa seems to be a little confused by the beauty, obviously he hasn't drunk any wine, but he talks as if he is drunk.
Pointing to Rei Akasaka beside Hideki Hanyu, he said, "President Hanyu, such a beautiful beauty, if you think it's good, give it a chance, hehe......"
The words were not finished, but the laughter betrayed everything.
Hanyu Hideki was quite helpless, and said in his heart that these upper-class people he had seen recently had started to do things, but one by one was more obscene.
Although Rei Akasaka beside her was reserved, she heard Haruki Kadokawa's words.
Silver Fang bit lightly, as if he had made up some kind of determination, straightened up his beautiful figure, and looked at Hanyu Hideki.
It seems that she hopes that Hideki Hanyu will give her a chance.
After all, in order to become famous, a woman who does not hesitate to appear in Fengyue movies still has the determination to be there at the critical moment.
"President Hanyu, you can't live up to the beauty......"
Haruki Kadokawa continues to fan the flames.
"Since President Kadokawa has said so, Cloud Screening has recently been preparing a movie, adapted from my work Sparrow Becomes Phoenix, which requires a lot of female characters, Miss Akasaka can give it a try if she wants."
As soon as Hideki Hanyu said this, Rei Akasaka's face suddenly showed a look of surprise, and she nodded again and again, "I do, I do." ”
In fact, when he said that it was adapted from "Sparrow Becomes Phoenix", not to mention Rei Akasaka, even Mieko Harada on the opposite side couldn't help but be moved.
Although the "Man of the Fire House" she is about to participate in is also an adaptation of the original work of the famous author.
But Tan Yixiong is too long ago for the current neon audience.
Even if the status is high, it is far less popular than Hanyu Hideki.
"Sparrow Becomes Phoenix" is a work that has sold nearly one million.
Now who in the circle doesn't know that Hideki Hanyu's works are a guarantee of fame and box office.
It's a pity that today she came with Haruki Kadokawa, otherwise she would have to try to fight for the opportunity to star in this movie.
After all, the big names in the circle are kind enough to give them opportunities, and they are not easy to encounter.
Now it's given to the unknown newcomer in front of him.
With the qualifications of the other party, he can't get any important roles when he takes this opportunity, which is really tyrannical.
If Hideki Hanyu knew Mieko Harada's thoughts, he would definitely say that you think too much.
"Sparrow Becomes Phoenix" is tailor-made by Cloud Entertainment for Akina Nakamori.
Shinsuke Ito personally acted as the overseer.
Not to mention Mieko Harada, even if Haruki Kadokawa recommends Hiroko Yakushimaru.
He also thought that there were many female supporting roles in the movie, and there was no suitable artist to play on Yunshang Arts, so he gave it to Akasaka Li.
As for giving Akasaka Li this opportunity, will it change history and make future generations of old critics have fewer works.
What does that have to do with him, it's not the original plane anyway.
In this era, the actresses who have entered the neon pink movie circle have basically not ended well.
He should be considered to have done good deeds and accumulated virtues.
The tea party is over.
The entrance of the tea house.
"President Hanyu, I'll go first."
After Haruki Kadokawa finished speaking, he impatiently took Mieko Harada to get in the car and leave.
Hanyu Hideki shook his head helplessly, wanting to say that your circle is really messy.
Then he turned his head and saw Rei Akasaka waiting for him.
Immediately afterwards, he despises himself as just a raccoon dog.
"President Hanyu, where are we going next?"
Rei Akasaka asked boldly.
"Miss Rei Akasaka, aren't you afraid that I won't keep my promise?"
Hideki Hanyu asked deliberately.
"I'm afraid, but I'm even more afraid that I won't even have a chance to keep my promise."
Rei Akasaka replied seriously.
……
The next day, Hideki Hanyu went to the clouds for entertainment.
I pulled a few projects at Haruki Kadokawa, so I naturally had to explain it to the people who filmed it.
However, when he left, he was stopped by the acting president of Cloud Animation, Tomoka Kawauchi.
"President Hanyu, there's news from América."
When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he could only go to the cloud animation with Kawauchi Chika first.
"What's the news?" In the office, Hideki Hanyu asked Chiyoshi Kawauchi.
"The animation studio you asked the branch to help set up before, overspent on the production of animation, and wanted to increase the production cost."
Kawauchi said, handing a fax to Hideki Hanyu.
Hideki Hanyu took it and found that it was a list of expenses.
Roughly speaking, the production fee of $150,000 given before is about to be exhausted.
To complete the rest of the animation, you need at least $50,000.
The list is quite detailed, and Pixar still has the financial staff he left behind, and he is not worried that John Lasseter will mess around.
And he was mentally prepared for the fact that making 3D animation would burn money.
So Hanyu Hideki didn't think too much about it, and said directly to Kawauchi Chika, "Give the money over there." ”
Hanyu Hideki's words made Kawauchi Chika a little surprised, "Do you want to give it yet?" ”
The short film, which was planned to last just over two minutes, has now cost $150,000.
At the current exchange rate, it is more than 36 million yen.
If you animate it on the cloud, it's enough to make a theatrical version of the animation.
"Well, keep giving." Hanyu Hideki said without hesitation.
"President Hanyu, it's a little inconvenient to transfer money directly from the cloud animation, after all, President Hanyu asked me to transfer the ownership of the studio to you."
Seeing that Hanyu Hideki insisted, Chika Kawauchi could only talk about other concerns.
Hanyu Hideki then remembered that considering that Pixar would continue to absorb talents in the future, it was possible to share the shares.
There is also a Pixar studio that is likely to lose money for many years in a row, and he doesn't want to explain it to his partners.
After asking the Cloud Animation Division to help set up the studio, he transferred the ownership to his investment company.
At this time, it is indeed a little inappropriate to continue to let the cloud animation give money.
After hearing what Kawauchi meant, Hideki Hanyu replied.
"I know about this, and I'll let someone take over Pixar's work."
After saying that, he asked, "Is there anything else besides faxing?" ”
"That Mr. John Lasseter asked President Hanyu to call him back as soon as possible."
"I see."
Saying goodbye to Chika Kawauchi, Hideki Hanyu, who wanted to leave, had to return to his office on the top floor in order to call John Lasseter.
After dialing the phone in Los Angeles.
He heard John Lassett's slightly apologetic voice.
"Mr. Hanyu, I'm sorry I didn't control my budget."
"It's okay, Mr. Lassett will pay attention to it in the future, and I will transfer the additional fees as soon as possible."
"Thank you, Mr. Hanyu, in fact, this time I asked you to contact me mainly for another matter."
"What's the matter? Lassett please. Hanyu asked.
"Actually, I'm better at animation writers and directors, and I'm not good at how to manage an animation studio at all, so I suggest that Mr. Hanyu help Pixar find a manager as soon as possible, otherwise I'm worried that the overrun will happen again."
After listening to John Lasseter's words, Hideki Hanyu wondered where he could find management talent.
He simply asked directly, "Does Mr. Lassett have a suitable candidate to recommend one for me?" ”
John Lasseter replied without thinking, "Edwin is very good, not only good at technology, but also excellent at management. ”
Hideki Hanyu wanted to complain, of course he knew that Edwin Cartum was very good at management, and later became the president of Pixar.
But although he and the other party were related to 3D animation, they hit it off at first sight.
But the other party is now the head of ILM's computer graphics department, and he is a talent that George Lucas values.
With George Lucas's power in Hollywood, the corners of Lucasfilm are so easy to dig.
"He's an executive at Lucasfilm after all." Hideki Hanyu voiced concerns.
As soon as his words came out, John Lassett immediately sent a piece of good news.
"I've heard from Edwin that George Lucas has a lot of problems with the lack of output in the computer graphics division and is already considering selling the computer graphics division as a whole."
"Are you sure, Lasseter?" Hideki Hanyu suddenly came to his senses.
ILM's computer graphics department not only has employees and equipment, but also has a lot of accumulation and patents in computer graphics technology.
Otherwise, why did Jobs spend 10 million dollars to buy.
"I'm sure Lucasfilm is already in contact with interested buyers, and will probably be inviting them to visit its headquarters in San Francisco."
John Lasseter replied.
"Very good, if the invitation starts, Lasseter you can be a representative of Pixar, go and have a look together, and ask Lucasfilm for a specific offer by the way."
"I'm going to ask for a quote?"
John Lasseter was a little surprised, he was just an animation editor and director, and he had never done such a thing as an acquisition.
"As long as Lucasfilm doesn't limit his identity, this matter will be in trouble with Mr. Lasseter, I still have a lot of work on the neon side, and I really don't have time to pass."
Hideki Hanyu found a reason.
In fact, what he wanted to say more was to go in his current capacity.
It is estimated that Lucasfilm will inevitably open its mouth.
It's better to find an agent to talk to.
"Alright then, if there is news, I will inform Mr. Hanyu as soon as possible."
In order to bring Edwin Cartum into the gang, John Lasseter decided to do something he wasn't good at.
