Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

  Chapter 455 Explosion of program effects

   After the "conversation" with Haruka Haru last night, Tao Zhiming felt that the secret behind this might be a useful card in the future.

   So he did not communicate with Mitsui and Sumitomo for the time being. After all, even he is only a vague guess now.

   There is a more convincing explanation for why Haruye Haruka chose to follow Tao Zhiming, but why Horikawa Nobuhiko let Haruno follow Tao Zhiming at ease, but it cannot be explained.

  Even though they feel that Tao Zhiming's existing strength can only be charged in the real life-and-death battle between the consortiums, at least they shouldn't underestimate his Tao Zhiming's ability, right?

  Women, if you really fell in love with a man, wouldn't it be easy to stand by that man?

   Unless Haruka Haru hinted at the secret last night, Horikawa Nobuhiko does not know, or this secret cannot constitute damage to Horikawa Nobuhiko.

  Tao Zhiming will not underestimate the ability of Horikawa Nobuhiko. Since Haruka Haru's father is his righteous brother, he may have shouldered a mission when he joined the Haruino family.

  Takagi Renhachi should have been right at the beginning, Haruka Haru's father must have entrusted her to Nobuhiko Horikawa to take care of her in front of her and Nobuhiko Horikawa.

   So he has Haruno Takizo as a confidant who is a father, and Haruno Haru was a little girl at the time, so how could he keep any secrets in front of Nobuhiko Horikawa?

   This secret seems to be related to her mother. If we go back to that time, Haruka Haru was only 5 years old.

  A 5-year-old child, when his father is also under the other party, kept a secret that was not beneficial to him for 13 years to a person who is now the chairman of a big consortium?

   Tao Zhiming is really hard to imagine.

  Amber... It seems that what kind of secret is wrapped in it, it is not so easy to melt.

   Fortunately, the war between the consortiums is not an overnight thing.

  Tao Zhiming quietly waited for the harvest that the Inagawa family would get in Kansai, and carefully wrote a plan for the Kyoto plan.

  …

  Kyoto has more than 4,000 shrines and more than 2,000 temples. What about the entire Kansai region?

   This is an extremely large number.

Behind the number    is the land and properties occupied by these shrines and temples. Just like at the beginning, the Ueda family's old dojo in Kyoto was also handed over to the well-known temple Sanzen-in to take care of it.

   It is these traditional buildings, mainly shrines and temples, that indirectly support some handicraft families in Kansai.

   Some clean, maintain and repair traditional wooden buildings, and some provide them with various stone statues, utensils and materials.

  Ueno Yosuke has been doing this research for some time according to Tao Zhiming's instructions.

In the end, he found that if, as Tao Zhiming said, he took out a list of traditional handicrafts and gifts called "Kyoto scenery", and the best cooperation object would be those large shrines or temples with many branches, which are owned by the whole system. Influential religious corporations.

   For example, Hachiman Shrine. The head office of Usa Shrine is the head office of over 20,000 Hachiman Shrines and Hachiman Shrines. In the entire Neon, how many people rely on Hachiman Shrine to make a living?

  These shrines also have more professional manpower to deal with various things, unlike those craftsman families who only know how to make utensils.

   Ueno Yosuke, who had an in-depth understanding, opened his eyes and realized that the operation of religious corporations is a huge business.

   Offerings during prayers, fees for various ceremonies such as weddings, sales of amulets, lottery fortune-telling, donations by believers, cemetery management, entry and exit of the sandalwood, etc. are not mentioned.

  In modern times, tourism, cooking and accommodation in such religious places have also become a new source of income.

  Although these establishments cannot operate with great fanfare and have a strong commercial flavor, after all, there are various special policies on taxation and other aspects for religious corporations. Therefore, it does become a good integrated business with many potential roles and huge influence.

   Ueno Yosuke couldn't help but suspect that Tao Zhiming asked him to do this thing because he saw the current situation.

   The planning and implementation of the so-called "Kyoto Scenery" brand cannot be separated from the support of these religious legal persons.

   And Hachiman Shrine, where Haruka Haru was born, is naturally one of them.

  Remembering that Tao Zhiming once said that after Takagi Renhachi said that he was not afraid of investigation, he still arranged for people to struttingly understand Harano's experience, and Ueno Yosuke secretly paid attention to the confidence in Hachiman Shrine.

   Originally, it was only opened by believers with the support of the head office.

   But fifteen years ago, it was officially planned to establish a national religious corporation by the head office to comprehensively operate the brand of Hachiman Shrine.

   Twelve years ago, the owner of the Azuchi Castle Hachiman Shrine, the Haruno family, chose to join this religious corporation and run the Hachiman Shrine under a new management structure.

   Yosuke Ueno, who was no longer a chick, remembered what he said that night about Haru Haru's father's suicide, and naturally he could imagine that this Hachiman Shrine, relying on various conveniences, might assume many special "functions".

The excitement of seeing a corner of the secret made him very invested, until Tao Zhiming called: "Yosuke, don't keep inquiring about the Hachiman Shrine, even if you use the 'Kyoto scenery' to learn about others. I understand the intent, and so do others. Now, I don't need that information anymore."

   Ueno Yosuke sighed in his heart: "Cause trouble?"

"That's not true. Although we have already started cooperation, it is normal for us to want to have more information. Now the secret of Hachiman Shrine does not matter. I have completed the project. You can list the first batch of 'Kyoto scenery' as soon as possible. Bar."

   "I see. When are you coming?"

   "Three days later."

   Tao Zhiming, who hung up the phone, was also quite surprised. Takagi Renhachi called and reminded him that, of course, the reasoning was not to arouse the suspicion of Furong and Sanwa because of the emphasis on understanding Hachiman Shrine.

  Sanyou Investment Bank’s board meeting in August was a routine meeting, which was expanded just like the last time, but the location was changed to a place where people would not be suspicious.

   Kaibe Jun appeared with Hashimoto Taro and Uno Sou, and Iwasaki Ryunosuke also arrived.

   As Tao Zhiming said to Kinoshita Xiufeng, how to dig a hole for the first persuasion bank is not something the two of them need to worry about. He did this Kyoto plan, and his original intention was only to provide Shun Kaibu with a new policy measure that would have substantial investment support by helping Uno Munakata, and by the way, he also helped the three other consortiums behind them.

  Tao Zhiming's biggest purpose has always been how to strengthen his foundation in the field of cultural media. The greatest value of the Kyoto plan to him is to seek Dongbao.

There are two    plans, one is the real one, and the other is with the participation of the first persuasion bank.

  When everyone gets together, it is nothing more than perfecting these two plans, and how to conceal and connect them perfectly.

   Tao Zhiming didn't say anything about Haru Yeo.

   What Yueguang Village, Hachiman Shrine, the General House where the first persuaded silver was involved, and the Lockheed incident, Tao Zhiming will all stay in his stomach first. He asked Tao Yaren to adjust the information, even if Tao Yaren told Iwasaki Ryunosuke and the others, it didn't matter.

   Someone else gave him a woman, doesn't Tao Zhiming want to find a way to investigate it?

   He is not prepared to cause any storms now.

   When the secret meeting was over, Taro Hashimoto said to him suddenly and meaningfully: "In late September, the Ministry of Finance will hold a meeting to invite some private people, which is related to financial policy. Mie Ye-kun, specially asked you to attend."

  Tao Zhiming looked at him in amazement: "Why?"

   "I don't know." Hashimoto Taro looked at him deeply, "If you don't understand, you can also contact him and ask."

   This is really something Tao Zhiming never expected. Why do you want me to participate in discussing your financial policies? Although Mie Yefu expressed his appreciation for him back then, and even made some demands on the Tokyo sub-city plan, he hasn't had much contact in the past year or so.

   Thinking that Mie Yefu was about to take office as the president of the central bank at the end of the year, Tao Zhiming couldn't help frowning.

   That guy is going to use himself as a swordsman again?

   Maybe it's because he proposed this Kyoto plan, so that Kaibe Shun also had dealings with him, and Mie Yefu had new ideas?

  Tao Zhiming wanted to contact the person Mie Yefu sent to see him last time, but thinking about the official invitation has not come yet, where did he know the news? Exposed often and Hashimoto Taro secret meeting seems not very good.

  It was in late September anyway. Let’s wait until the official invitation arrives. Maybe he will also take the initiative to contact him.

  …

   On the night that "The Last Echoes of the Showa Era" began to prepare for the broadcast of the first episode, Sou Uno held a press conference together with Aoda Yongchen.

   One is a former prime minister who was deeply involved in scandals, and the other is a family developed by the geisha industry. Such a combination is really easy to associate.

In a sincere atmosphere, Uno Soyou reviewed his previous mistakes again, and then Qingtian Yongchen, after feeling quite emotional about the impact of the changing times on the geisha industry and the process of geisha gradually becoming stigmatized, he announced The dance hall that WanderDance first started operating will be transformed into a theater dedicated to serving Kabuki, so that the geisha can return to the status of representing art and beauty, and radiate new brilliance in the new era.

   Unlike geisha, the status of Kabuki family in neon is actually very high.

   Qingtian Yongchen said this, and comparing it with a geisha seems to be a bit too much to touch porcelain.

Uno Zongyou said solemnly: "I have studied and trained hard since I was a child. After becoming this identity, I will bear it for life, but the future is always so narrow. This is the main reason why their survival is gradually difficult. I am Uno Zongyou. Fame, I already have the consciousness to be ridiculed by everyone. But! I still have a meager power after all, let me spend the rest of my life fighting for a broader and dignified future for this whole group! Ten years, twenty years! A generation People, two generations! Geisha with a long history will one day become a glorious cultural symbol of neon!"

The tone of    is sonorous, the original promise seems to be true...

Reporters still don’t know what   the geisha think, but it is very unexpected that the prestigious WanderDance will turn into a Kabuki theater. I am afraid that some of the young people in Tokyo will be disappointed.

   However, young people always have other fun. That night, the first issue of "The Last Reminiscence of the Showa Era" was broadcast.

In the competition of 10 newcomers, among the two winners in the end, one has an investment of 400 million yen and has the opportunity to become a member of the New Star Directing Program; the other has an investment of no less than 5 billion yen, and the first work will be released. It is such a big production starring Yasuko Sawaguchi.

   Even in the age of pompous bubbles, such a handwriting is really rare. Moreover, all of this will be decided within three months.

  After Tao Zhiming and Qiu Yuankang discussed, the script design of the entire show was also very innovative. It was a real simultaneous competition, not a performance with an established identity.

  In the first episode of the program, there is a record of the planning meeting. From TV stations, film clubs, and bigwigs in the industry, they read their resumes, read past works, recommended, voted, and selected nine new candidates.

   Isn't it 10 digits? The suspense was buried right from the start.

   Then came the actual recording of the formal invitation letter sent to the candidates. Surprising and nervous scenes, including some scenes that might appear sloppy in people's homes, were recorded.

   An opportunity that could change the fate of life, these people seized the reaction and presented it on the TV screen.

   Iwasaki Shunji was the last to appear, but he was the only one who was officially in front of the camera and was interviewed with tension.

   "Iwai-kun, you are the only candidate who was directly selected by the show. How would you feel when facing other candidates?"

"How to say... It's like a dream. The pressure is really, really big..." Iwai Shunji had a numb scalp after listening to Qiu Yuanyasu's arrangement, and said after saying that he was personally recommended by Tao Zhiming, "All in all , In the face of other candidates who did not make it to the list of 10 people, although it was not my intention, I am very sorry. President Tao recommended me, and I can only do my best to prove my own ability and live up to this expectation. , I already have the consciousness to bet everything!"

   This special arrangement made the 10 candidates suddenly have a more complicated camp division. A person who was recommended by one of the organizers at the beginning of the program planning was like a 1V9 war.

   The person recommended by the famous President Tao personally, if he does not get everyone's approval, he will not only lose his own face, but also make people doubt Tao Zhiming's vision.

   What's more, the first episode of the show has already conveyed the style of the show and the authenticity of the follow-up competition to everyone by means of filming.

  The selection is both fair and unfair, so it appears even more brutal.

   In the second half of the show, the 10 candidates finally met in the TV conference room.

The   1V9 situation really came out. Although the atmosphere was friendly, the air around Shunji Iwai was obviously a bit isolated. All the glances that looked at him, as well as his own micro-expressions, were recorded.

  The people of Fuji TV now understand why Shunji Iwai resigned so bluntly and got such an opportunity.

  Although the current pressure is really terrifying, if it succeeds, it will really be a step up to the sky.

   This pressure was felt by other viewers too.

   Whether it is Iwai Shunji's original friend or some unfamiliar audience, because of this special pressure, they can't help but take their position on Iwai Shunji's side. After all, right now, he seems to be the weakest and most difficult one, the one who must try his best to prove himself.

   "Then, now it's up to everyone to draw lots to decide the songs that will be completed in the first round of music video clips! "You Who Came From the Stars" has completed the recording of 10 songs."

   On a backboard, there are 10 pieces of paper with serial numbers, covering the names of 10 songs.

After announcing the specific rules of the first round of selection, the host said: "Because of Iwai-kun's special recommendation status, in the first round of selection, he does not need to participate in the lottery. It will be edited by Iwai-kun. , is the theme song of this TV series!"

   The other nine people suddenly had various expressions, but they were more or less dissatisfied, and all stared at Shunji Iwai.

   "Iwai-kun, facing the entire audience, you have to answer a question."

  Iwai Shunji stood up on pins and needles: "Yes!"

   "You will edit the theme song of the music video, have you heard it beforehand?"

The camera shot directly at his face, and Shunji Iwai gritted his teeth and replied loudly: "I bet on the future of my whole life, and the kindness that President Tao recommended me, I swear: I have not gotten it until now. Any other info about this song! Just know... this song is sung by Miss Akina Nakamori."

   The Lei in this answer is no less than his answer that he knew in advance.

  There are so many songs in a TV series, is each song sung by Akina Nakamori?

   With Nakamori Akina's reputation and her influence in the hearts of fans, didn't Iwai Shunji have the advantage?

  The audience watching the show watched the various performances of the other 9 candidates just like watching a drama. Their true identities have been written in previous shows, not actors, but newcomers who really aspire to be directors. What they are doing now is real.

  The host on the TV said to them: "How many filmmakers does Neon have who want to be successful? Answer me!"

   No one answered this question.

"It's a gorgeous industry! Countless people have dreams of success! Is life fair? Does everyone get the same opportunity? Not like that! Some people have luck, some get it in the first place Help! But the unfairness of this selection is over! Whether President Tao wants to sharpen Iwai-kun or not, even if you are a whetstone, are you willing to accept such a fate?"

The host tore off the piece of paper numbered 1 and read aloud: "The theme song sung by Miss Akina Nakamori is called "Fate"! Now, the fate of Iwai-kun is to be entrusted to you and him. Get up and decide! If you are not willing, defeat him! If you want to prove yourself, defeat them! A big production of 5 billion yen, a new star director program of 400 million yen! The platform for hard work has been built, and this show actually compensates you. A fair share! In this competition that will attract a lot of attention, show your talents! Even if you fail in the middle, you have already received more attention and opportunities than before, right?"

   This statement is reasonable. Sure enough, some of the 9 people have been a lot excited, and they look like they are full of enthusiasm.

   followed by the lottery, and the announcement of the other 9 songs one by one.

  Nakamori Akina, Sakai Izumi, Asuka Nagumo, Kawai Sonoko, Kudo Shizuka, Omimi-go, Kimura Takuya... Sure enough, they are all-stars of WanderStar, in addition to Nakamori Akina, and the unknown Kimura Takuya.

  It's no wonder, after all, it's a TV drama they invested in.

   Now what the audience is looking forward to more is how the songs are. Now they only know the name of the song.

The first episode of    finally focused on Shunji Iwai. As he left the conference room, he kept exhaling. This pressure can be said to be extremely real.

  For this show, 10 people were pulled to the building of 'Comics Dimension' in Mogami Kekakucho.

   The free creative space of dimensional culture has been arranged for a whole floor, which is used as the editing place for this first round of selection. In the 10 creative apartments, there are exactly the same equipment.

   There are also TVs and VCRs. On the table are the finished video tapes of "My Love from the Star" that are stacked high.

   There is also a record player next to it.

"Hurry up, everyone only has a week. To finish listening to that song, you have to watch the entire TV series as soon as possible." Although the camera was still there, Shunji Iwai could only rush over to sit on the chair with a wry smile, and then And he said, "But we are the first batch of people who can watch the whole TV series in advance, right? This is also very lucky."

   This sentence resonates very well, it is true.

   With such a big propaganda battle, Dongshi seems to have made this TV series the main theme of winter and even this year. For a while, envy +N.

  In the shot, Iwai Shunji put on headphones and was ready to play the theme song "Fate" that he needed to complete.

   And then the picture went dark, and the narration and subtitles of the middle two began.

  【It is known as the last stunning show of the Showa era, and it was a TV drama filmed in the last years of the Showa era. 】

  【The last generation of filmmakers who grew up in the Showa era competed in this way, trying to seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. 】

  【Now, the gears of fate have begun to turn. 】

  【Can he prove himself? Or get beat by others? 】

  【This "Last Echoes of the Showa Era", the first issue will end with this song "Fate". 】

  【Stay tuned! Please take care! Next time, in the next few minutes, who can hand in moving works? 】

  The melodious piano sounded, and the picture was always black, with only the song title and subtitles, and a line of words: In the music video clip...

   can be said to be full of expectations.

   But the song sung by Akina Nakamori was, after all, the first time it was publicly spread through the TV signal of Dongshi.

   "President! Ratings! Ratings! It has exceeded 4%. If it can break through 5% or even higher later, it can even rush to the top 10 of the year for variety shows!"

   In the face of the program producer who rushed in, the president of TV TOKYO could only look at Akimoto Yasushi with emotion and said, "As expected of President Tao's personal plan..."
