Japanese big things

Chapter 249: Poaching People

"Akimoto-san, how are you? Are Nakamura Masahiro-san with Mizuno and Tsukasa-san from Honda?"

Seeing Yasushi Akimoto hang up the phone, Kenji Kitagawa couldn't help but ask proactively.

"Well, Nakamura-san is with Honda now."

Akimoto Yasushi nodded, smiled at Kitagawa Kenji, and replied: "I heard from Mizuno and Sisang that he will be very busy right now... I'm afraid it will take a while before he has time to call back.

"

Yasushi Akimoto's words made Kitagawa Kenji curl his lips. Although he recognized Masahiro Nakamura's importance to Noban Board 46, he felt really unhappy.

From the very beginning when he was told that Nakamura Masahiro had joined the production team of the idol group Noban 46, until now, Kitagawa Kenji has never seen each other once.

It is true that Masahiro Nakamura is a supervisor, and the newly established Nobanban 46 does need the film and television resources of the other party. However, this cannot be the reason for the other party to become the boss!

"Akimoto-san, although Nakamura Masahiro-san is also the producer of Nobanban46, isn't he a little too concerned about it?"

Kitagawa Kenji was filled with resentment as soon as he opened his mouth. He did not dare to express his dissatisfaction openly and could only express his depressed mood in a roundabout way.

"He has been busy with his work and didn't even take a look at Noban Board 46..."

"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, Nakamura-san's current focus is still on TBS TV station's Taiwan celebration drama."

Yasushi Akimoto did not answer Kitagawa Kenji's words, but kept a smiling expression, and defended Nakamura Masahiro in a slightly helpless tone.

Glancing at Kitagawa Kenji who was quite depressed, Akimoto Yasu frowned slightly and kept making calculations in his mind.

The reason for bringing in Nakamura Masahiro for cooperation, in addition to Nakamura Masahiro's background and film and television resources, is that Nakamura Masahiro can help suppress Kitagawa Kenji.

The guy in front of me looks harmless, but he has a lot of tricks and tricks in private.

If possible, Yasushi Akimoto would like to find an opportunity to kick this guy out. But his father Naoki Kitagawa is the boss of Sony Music, and he can't afford to offend him.

Therefore, although he had a lot of opinions about Kitagawa Kenji, Akimoto Yasu never showed it and always maintained a harmonious attitude towards getting along with him.

After all, he considers himself to be the number one figure in the Japanese entertainment circle, but if compared with Kitagawa Kenji's father Kitagawa Naoki, it is still not enough.

Well, Nakamura Masahiro's mother Fukuda Mizuki is also a boss that Akimoto Yasunobu cannot afford to offend. Just her strong background in Dentsu is enough to make people shy away from her.

"By the way, Akimoto-san..."

While Akimoto Yasu was feeling uneasy, Kitagawa Kenji suddenly raised a certain topic again.

"Didn't you think highly of Nakamura Masahiro-san's female assistant before? How about it? Have you sent her an invitation to participate in the selection?"

"You mean that Hashimoto Nana Wei-san?"

Akimoto Yasu came back to his senses, and after confirming with Kitagawa Kenji, he took over the topic and said: "She has agreed to participate in the selection and registered."

For Akimoto Yasu, the appearance of Hashimoto Nanami is really an unexpected surprise: if it were not for the cooperation with Nakamura Masahiro, maybe the gem of Hashimoto Nanami would not have been discovered.

At first, the other party was really not interested in signing up to participate in the idol group's selection activities, but Akimoto Yasu could not resist his persuasion on the grounds that "you can make a lot of money" and "experience a different life is also an attempt."

In the end, Hashimoto Nana was moved by Akimoto Yasushi's words. Not long after, the selection committee received her application.

However, Yasushi Akimoto always felt that there was something hidden in it: although his words were indeed very persuasive, Nana Hashimoto seemed to be a more mature-minded person at first glance, so he should not be so easily persuaded.

But Yasumoto Akimoto was too lazy to explore the secret behind the other party: no matter what the reason was, as long as Nana Hashimoto was not willing to sign up for the selection event.

"Already signed up?"

Hearing Yasushi Akimoto's words, Kitagawa Kenji was full of surprise: He originally thought that Masahiro Nakamura's assistant would not be interested in idols, but he didn't expect that the assistant would actually participate in the selection.

"Nakamura Masahiro-san should know about this, right?"

"Nakamura-san, he probably doesn't know yet..."

After hesitating for a moment, Akimoto Yasu frowned and thought for a moment, then gave a somewhat uncertain answer with a high probability.

It stands to reason that Hashimoto Nanami is Nakamura Masahiro's assistant and will definitely report to Nakamura Masahiro.

But considering that Nakamura Masahiro had just returned from Hokkaido, Akimoto felt that Nakamura Masahiro might not know about it yet.

"Nakamura Masahiro-san doesn't know?"

Kitagawa Kenji's face was filled with surprise and uncertainty. He glanced at Akimoto Yasushi's greasy, round face, and his deep voice had a slightly strange tone.

"In that case, you are poaching people from him privately..."

"It's okay. I'll just explain it to him when he calls back later."

Akimoto Yasu also felt that he had made some mistakes. He took it for granted, thinking that Hashimoto Nana would not mention it to Nakamura Masahiro himself.

However, Masahiro Nakamura is in Nemuro, Hokkaido, and Nana Hashimoto seems to have very mature thoughts, and will most likely choose to talk face to face.

Before the lingering thoughts in his mind dissipated, Akimoto Yasushi's phone rang. He subconsciously glanced at the caller ID, and as expected, it was Masahiro Nakamura calling.

"Moses Moses...."

Like a face-changing skill, after the call was answered, Akimoto Yasushi's face had a standard smile.

"Nakamura-san, are you already busy?"

"Just finished..."

There was a hint of exhaustion in Nakamura Masahiro's voice, as if he had been too busy and worried just now.

"Akimoto-san, what's the matter?"

"It's about Noban Board 46. You are also the group's producer, so you can't be absent all the time, right?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Akimoto Yasushi said in a eloquent tone: "You know, many of the children who signed up for the selection came for you... In the end, you couldn't even meet

Isn’t it a bit unjustifiable not to reveal it..."

"Well...I'll make time to come over then."

Sighing slightly helplessly, Nakamura Masahiro seemed to explain: "You also know that TBS TV station's Taiwan celebration drama is very important, I must focus on this first."

"Now there should be only post-editing work left, right?"

Although the crew of the TBS TV station is still in Nemuro, Hokkaido, for cleaning, the news that the filming of the Taiwanese celebration drama has been completed has spread throughout the Japanese entertainment circle.

"I heard that the broadcast time has been initially determined. Are you confident?"

"I definitely have confidence. After all, TBS TV station has invested heavily, and the cast is also luxurious."

There was a bad taste in his heart, and Nakamura Masahiro smiled and said: "If I mess up, I'm afraid TBS TV station won't let me go easily."

"That's not necessarily the case. At most, TBS TV station won't cooperate with you..."

Akimoto Yasu also laughed happily. If an ordinary supervisor had screwed up TBS TV station's Taiwan celebration drama, the result would definitely be quite bad.

But Nakamura Masahiro is different. With Dentsu's Mizuki Fukuda and Hokuriku Broadcasting's Nakamura Tomimasa on his back, TBS TV station really can't handle Nakamura Masahiro.

"Next month is the final review, Nakamura-san, you must not be absent."

"Don't worry, I will definitely remember."

Masahiro Nakamura gave the assurance in a firm tone. If he was even absent from the final review, then his dereliction of duty as a producer would be a bit excessive.

"By the way, Akimoto-san, I have a question that I would like to ask..."

The previous topic was over, and after a moment of dullness, just when Yasushi Akimoto was about to talk to Masahiro Nakamura about Hashimoto Nana, who knew that Masahiro Nakamura spoke first.

"It's about the preparatory committee..."

"You want to ask the invited question, right?"

Before Nakamura Masahiro finished speaking, Akimoto Yasushi understood what he meant. After organizing his words a little, Akimoto Yasushi started talking directly.

"That's the thing. The government is preparing to promote a cultural strategy called 'Cool Japan', so it needs the preparatory committee to serve as an advisor..."

"The members of the preparatory committee are all representatives from all aspects of the industry. I proposed at the meeting to invite you as a representative of the younger generation."

"However, because your academic qualifications are a bit unsightly, many people have objections. Therefore, senior Tadao Sato offered to help you solve the problem. He can arrange for you to study at the University of Tokyo..."

Nakamura Masahiro roughly understands the reason. The Japanese government is preparing to implement a cultural strategy called "Cool Japan", which to be understood more straightforwardly is cultural export.

Therefore, during the preparatory stage, the government organized a preparatory committee to serve as an advisor to protect the cultural strategy.

The members of the preparatory committee are all representatives from all aspects of the industry, such as Akimoto Yasushi, who produced the idol group akb48, the famous film critic Tadao Sato, comedian and famous director Takeshi Kitano, etc.

The reason why Akimoto Yasu proposed to invite Nakamura Masahiro to join the preparatory committee was partly because he wanted to win over him, but also partly because Nakamura Masahiro was indeed qualified.

After all, the preparatory committee also needs a representative of the younger generation, and it cannot be all old men.

Looking at the entire Japanese next generation, Masahiro Nakamura is undoubtedly the best candidate regardless of factors such as age and performance, fame and background.

However, Nakamura Masahiro's academic qualifications were somewhat unsightly, and were considered by many members of the preparatory committee to be a flaw, which could easily lead to negative impacts.

In fact, this is just the nitpicking of those senior people. People in the entertainment industry generally have low academic qualifications, and there are not many artists with high academic qualifications.

Since artists rely on their talent to make a living, Japanese people tend to be more tolerant. As Nakamura Masahiro has excellent results, he will naturally gain greater favor.

"Nakamura-san, even if you are not interested, you can still go to Japan University of Film and Television to apply for admission..."

The phone was very quiet, and he failed to get any feedback from Nakamura Masahiro. Akimoto Yasushi thought Nakamura Masahiro was conflicted, so he tried to persuade him further.

"Anyway, it's just to make up for your academic shortcomings. Don't worry too much about this issue."

If Masahiro Nakamura is older, the issue of academic qualifications does not exist at all. But who makes Masahiro Nakamura still a minor in the Japanese legal sense?

The advantage of youth is an advantage in many cases, but in certain places, it can be a disadvantage that can easily cause negative effects.

"Senior Tadao Sato is the president of Japan University of Cinematography. You can just contact him directly..."
