Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"Mr. Lin, the theater chains we have cooperated with before have expressed their concerns to us. If this continues, I'm afraid it will cause even greater trouble."

Maekawa Kiyonori looked at Lin Daoqiu with a solemn expression. Judging from his expression, it was clear how much pressure Maekawa Kiyonori was facing now.

"How come the artist's affairs are related to those theater chains? I just want to give the artist more time to rest. Those who don't know think that I plan to reform the entire neon entertainment industry. As for that?"

Although Lin Daoqiu said this, judging from the feedback during this period, he felt that he had indeed taken this matter too simply.

"If only a few artists did this, there would be no problem, but you mean to ask Toei and Shochiku to make reforms. This is not a matter of a few people, but a matter of the entire entertainment industry of Neon. Everyone

It’s normal to have doubts.”

"If I insist on doing this, what do you think the final result will be?"

"Nothing will happen, but if you want me to tell the truth, then I can tell you that this is impossible to achieve. Even if President Okada and I give our full support, it is impossible. In the end, it is very likely that we will both

He was forced to quit his job and then retired to some idle job."

Maekawa Kiyonori is not joking with Lin Daoqiu. If they really fully support Lin Daoqiu's reforms, then they will definitely touch the interests of vested interests. That group of people is more powerful than the two presidents.

It is much more powerful than they can touch.

"It seems like I have touched something terrible. You two don't have to worry about this matter. I will handle it myself. You can consider supporting me as long as it doesn't affect you. This request shouldn't be difficult, right?

"

"Let's do our best."

Although Maekawa Kiyonori said so, neither he nor Okada Shigeru could or dared to stand up in a big way to support Lin Daoqiu at this time, because it would cause public outrage.

"Mr. Lin, Miss Yakushimaru is already here."

"Invite her in."

Maekawa Kiyonori knew that Lin Daoqiu and Yakushimaru Hiroko had something to talk about, so he left first.

Watching Kiyonori Maekawa leave, Lin Daoqiu's expression began to become serious. He felt that his original intention of making such a reform was good, but unfortunately the Neon people's stubborn ideas were far beyond his expectation.

Even Shochiku and Toei, who relied heavily on him, didn't seem to dare to support him in this matter.

"Mr. Lin..."

Hiroko Yakushimaru walked in from outside at this time, and she found that Lin Daoqiu's expression seemed a little serious.

"Oh, you're here, sit down."

Lin Daoqiu reacted when he heard Hiroko Yakushimaru's voice, and then pointed to the chair in front of him.

"I invited you here today to talk to you about the future."

"What's next?"

Hiroko Yakushimaru looked at Lin Daoqiu with a puzzled face. She didn't quite understand what Lin Daoqiu meant by this sentence.

"What are your plans after the promotion of "Onmyoji" ends?"

Yakushimaru Hiroko thought for a moment, then shook his head.

She actually doesn't have too many ideas of her own. Basically, she takes on roles according to her agent's arrangements. She also participates in TV shows. If she doesn't work, she rests at home. At least she doesn't have any special ideas yet, or maybe

She was used to having all the work arranged.

"I talked to you before about increasing your rest time. Do you remember this?"

"Of course I remember. Thank you for Mr. Lin's concern, but I think it's better not to push this matter any further. I understand your kindness, but..."

"It's just that the situation in the neon entertainment industry is very complicated. Even I am afraid it will be difficult to promote this kind of thing, right?"

Yakushimaru Hiroko lowered her head in embarrassment. In fact, someone had already talked to her about this matter before, asking her to clearly reject Lin Daoqiu and not accept the other party's reforms. In the eyes of those people, as long as Yakushimaru Hiroko firmly refused, Lin Daoqiu would

There is no need to continue to persist, and the matter will naturally be dropped.

"I believe someone has already talked to you about these things, and if I guess correctly, those people should be trying to persuade you not to accept my kindness, right?"

Hiroko Yakushimaru didn't expect that Lin Daoqiu had already guessed this. She didn't speak, but nodded lightly.

"What do you think if I recruit a few of you and set up a firm?"

When Hiroko Yakushimaru heard what Lin Daoqiu said, she showed a surprised expression at first, but then she shook her head.

"Unless Mr. Lin does not plan to cooperate with Neon's entertainment industry and does not go on TV to promote, then it may still be possible."

"Is it that serious?"

Lin Daoqiu looked at Hiroko Yakushimaru in great surprise. Originally, he wanted to set up an agency and recruit those actors he admired, so that his agency could do whatever it wanted and outsiders would not be able to control it.

.

But Lin Daoqiu forgot that Neon is a society accustomed to group activities. In their eyes, a maverick firm is a thorn in their side. How could those people cooperate with Lin Daoqiu's firm, let alone cooperate with him?

Artists send invitations.

Unless Lin Daoqiu is ready to let his artists only make movies, if he wants to make TV series and appear on variety shows, it is unlikely that any TV station will send him an invitation.

"You may not know how strict the neon entertainment industry is in this regard. If those artists want to leave their agency, they will have to negotiate with the agency or the agency no longer wants them. In this case, it is okay to say, but if it is you,

If he wants to leave and insists on quitting, it will be difficult for him to be on a mainstream TV station in the future, and no one will ask him to film."

Although he had made preparations for this before, Lin Daoqiu felt that with his reputation and status, he should be able to solve these troubles, but now it seems that he had taken it for granted before and had never thought about the complexity of the neon entertainment industry.

situation.

"Do you know Zhou Fangzhengxiong?"

"I've heard of his name, and it's said that he's a very good person, but I've never been in contact with him before, so I don't know much about him."

Hiroko Yakushimaru didn't understand why Lin Daoqiu suddenly asked her about Masao Shubo.

"It's okay. I will take care of these things. If it doesn't work, I won't force it. After all, I can't affect your development for my own ideas. If that's the case, I would be a bit too unreasonable.

.”

Lin Daoqiu smiled at Yakushimaru Hiroko.
