Japanese big things

Chapter 226 Harvest

"No problem. Nakamura-san has talked about this matter with me before. I can make a decision for him...I will arrange for personnel to follow up later..."

Although Shoji Oshiro was not very clear about Yasushi Akimoto and Masahiro Nakamura cooperating to create an idol group, he heard some conversations with him in private by Masahiro Nakamura.

The reason why Akimoto Yasushi is so keen to win over Nakamura Masahiro is probably because of the film and television resources in Nakamura Masahiro's hands and the advertising and other resources of Dentsu behind him.

Although the Sony family has great business and seems to be very powerful, but in the relatively monopolized and closed entertainment circle, without the support of all parties, Sony still has great limitations and it is impossible to play.

change.

Therefore, Nakamura Masahiro, who has film and television resources, has become the target of Akimoto Yasushi and Sony: he does not belong to a certain force and has the ability to launch film and television projects independently. Is there any better candidate than Nakamura Masahiro?

Especially after Masahiro Nakamura won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival, his advantage was further amplified, once again intensifying the enthusiasm of Yasushi Akimoto and Sony.

The 13% share is a sign of the sincerity of Yasushi Akimoto and Sony. If it were anyone else, even if Sony is not willing to invest too much money now, it will never give up this proportion of share.

After all, Sony has learned a painful lesson from akb48, and even if the newly established idol group does not perform as expected, they are not willing to give up easily again.

As for the producer position to win over Masahiro Nakamura, it is more of a title in name only and has little practical significance.

When it comes to how to build an idol group, Akimoto Yasushi is definitely an industry expert in this field. In fact, there is no need for a layman like Nakamura Masahiro to worry about it.

"That's good... To be honest, I'm looking forward to cooperating with Nakamura-san."

Oshiro Shoji's reply made Akimoto Yasushi very happy, and a greasy smile couldn't help but appear on his fat, round face.

Originally, he was worried that Masahiro Nakamura would have objections and would object to the insufficient share ratio, which would require back-and-forth negotiations.

Unexpectedly, Masahiro Nakamura was very straightforward and raised almost no objections to the proportion of shares, and reached a cooperation intention directly.

"Nakamura-san is also looking forward to cooperating with seniors."

Shoji Oshiro echoed with the same smile, and then chatted with him for a few more words before ending the meeting with Yasushi Akimoto.

According to Nakamura Masahiro's judgment, the share that Akimoto Yasushi and Sony can give up is very limited, and it will probably not exceed 15%.

In addition, Nakamura Masahiro's focus is on film and television, and he will not devote too much energy to the field of idol groups, so Nakamura Masahiro's psychological expectations are not high.

With Nakamura Masahiro's judgment and bottom line, Oshiro Shoji can naturally make decisions based on this. After all, Nakamura Masahiro cannot be contacted now, so it is impossible to really delay it.

The next day, the weather was fine, and under the warmth of the bright sunshine, Ojo Shoji hurriedly stepped into the door of Toho Company again.

According to the division of labor between Masahiro Nakamura and Shoji Ojo, the general direction is decided by Masahiro Nakamura, while Shoji Ojo is responsible for the specific implementation.

However, since Nakamura Masahiro is currently in the earthquake-stricken area and cannot be contacted, Ojo Shoji can only temporarily take over all Nakamura Masahiro's affairs.

Of course, Shoji Oshiro will actively handle tasks and matters that can be handled and resolved within the scope. But if he is not sure, Shoji Oshiro will choose to put it on hold.

After all, putting it on hold is just a little more time delay. If the decision is made for Masahiro Nakamura at random, it will be a big trouble.

"Welcome, welcome... Dacheng-san, take a seat first."

As soon as Shoji Oshiro walked into the distribution department of Toho Corporation, he was welcomed into the office by Director Shibata with enthusiasm.

With a friendly smile visible to the naked eye, Minister Shibata took a paper cup and gave Ojo Shoji a glass of water, and then handed it to him.

"Give...."

"Boss Shibata, thank you..."

Taking the paper cup filled with hot water from Minister Shibata with a respectful attitude, Oshiro Shoji held it in both hands. The rising heat was a bit scorching, and the scalding heat even felt a little bit scalding.

In the past, when I came to Toho Company for business, although Minister Shibata's reception was very polite, it was not as warm as it is now.

Oshiro Shoji doesn't know what Minister Shibata's intention is? But as the saying goes, "You can't afford it early if you don't have any profit," I think Minister Shibata must have some intention.

Subconsciously he tensed up a bit, Oshiro Shoji slightly raised his vigilance in order to cope with Minister Shibata's move.

"I invited you here today. I want to confirm something with you."

After a few simple polite words, Minister Shibata got to the point. He looked at the inquiring look on Oshiro Shoji's face, and then asked carefully.

"Oshiro-san...Nakamura-san, has he registered the copyright of the song on jasrac's official website?"

"Copyright of the song?jasrac's official website?"

Slightly startled, Ojo Shoji was a little surprised. Many thoughts lingered in his mind. After searching, he subconsciously narrowed his eyes when he came back to his senses.

"I'm not very clear about this."

Although he knew many things about Nakamura Masahiro, they were mainly focused on his work. As for the matter of registering song copyright, since Nakamura Masahiro didn't mention it much, Ojo Shoji really didn't know much about it.

After all, for things like song copyright, you only need to log in to Jasrac's official website to register, and there is no need for Shoji Oshiro to run around.

"Aren't you his assistant? I remember that Nakamura-san seems to trust you..."

A look of suspicion filled Minister Shibata's face. He frowned, not quite believing what Shoji Ojo said.

Maybe outsiders don't know much about it, but people like Minister Shibata who often deal with Nakamura Masahiro and Oshiro Shoji know their relationship very well.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Even though Oshiro Shoji is only Nakamura Masahiro’s assistant, in some aspects, Oshiro Shoji can even make decisions on behalf of Nakamura Masahiro.

Therefore, even if Shoji Oshiro is not particularly clear about the matter of song copyright, he definitely knows the inside story.

"Director Shibata, please tell me directly, what exactly happened?"

Skipping the topic, Oshiro Shoji went straight to the point: "If it's something I can't decide, then I can only wait until Nakamura-san comes back..."

"Okay...that's what happened. When a staff member searched Jasrac's official website, he found Nakamura-san's information and his registered song copyright."

Looking at Shoji Ojo with a steady look, Minister Shibata moved back to his chair and explained the situation truthfully.

"Toho Corporation wants Nakamura-san to compose a few more songs, or just include a few songs... When the time comes, they can release an album or a limited edition single."

"This is not good... Minister Shibata, during this special period, people don't have much thought for entertainment."

Oshiro Shoji is very clear about Toho's plan. He simply discovered the copyright of Nakamura Masahiro's new songs and wants to reap profits by releasing albums or singles.

As far as movie singles are concerned, although sales have begun to decline significantly, the figure of over one million is also an extremely astonishing figure when looking at the entire Japanese music scene.

Even if a portion of the profits were to be shared with Nakamura Masahiro, Toho would still have billions of yen left over.

And according to the fact that the Japanese entertainment industry likes to harvest fans and enthusiasts, releasing an album or a limited edition single will definitely bring in a lot of money.

I don’t know why ordinary people in Japan are so addicted to this set? Obviously there is not much difference between the versions of the records. It may be that the versions of the songs are different or there are bonus gifts.

Of course, Oshiro Shoji is not against Toho's plan to reap profits, but feels that the current environment is difficult to operate.

Nowadays, earthquake-related news reports have enveloped the entire Japan. Panic and panic have filled the whole society. People's attention has also been directed to the earthquake-stricken areas. Who still cares about entertainment?

Even the popular anime movies "Doraemon" and "Detective Conan" were showing signs of completely stalling when they were released, let alone Nakamura Masahiro's artistic movie "One Long Day".

Well, thanks to a lot of popularity, the number of viewers of "A Long Day" exceeded 1.25 million, and the cumulative movie box office exceeded 1.6 billion yen.

As for higher box office results? We can't hope for it at the moment. With the impact of the earthquake, the attendance rate of "One Long Day" has plummeted, and it's braver than an Olympic diving champion.

Although as long as the movie is not released, the box office of the follow-up movie "One Long Day" should be a little bit better, but it is probably better than nothing.

"Don't worry, it will definitely not be released during this period."

Minister Shibata has a sly smile on his face, like a scheming old fox. He is a smart man and will not do things that go against the general trend.

"It will take at least a few months, when the people have almost forgotten the impact of the earthquake... Ayutthaya-san, you have to know that no one can live with money."

"In a few months, there will be plenty of time..."

Oshiro Shoji nodded, agreeing very much with what Minister Shibata said. After a pause, he immediately spoke again: "I will tell Nakamura-san, but I can't say whether Nakamura-san will agree...

"

"Why don't you agree? Nakamura-san doesn't seem to be a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune."

Minister Shibata raised his eyebrows, and his tone was a little strange. Will Masahiro Nakamura agree? This is a way to raise the price.

"Not that way..."

Oshiro Shoji didn't know about Director Shibata's inner activities. He waved his hand and explained word for word: "Nakamura-san has a new movie plan later, and the schedule is very tight, so he may not be able to spare the time."

"Nakamura-san has a new movie plan?"

Upon hearing Ojo Shoji's words, Minister Shibata's eyes suddenly lit up, and an extremely exciting emotion surged in his heart.

The success of "One Long Day", the Silver Bear Award and the film's box office have proven Masahiro Nakamura's ability. This is a new director with unlimited potential.

Originally, Toho Company was wooing each other, but now that Masahiro Nakamura has a new movie plan, Toho Company must find a way to get involved. If you like Japanese big things, please collect them: (www.sodu777.net) Japanese big things to read novels
