Chapter 186 Development Conference Even During Holidays?
April 2006, 4, at two o'clock in the afternoon.

A large venue in the Sony record building, at this time, ushered in a bunch of rare visitors.

A press corps of more than 200 people gathered here to prepare for the press conference held by Sony Records.

in the venue.

The huge space filled with seats was full of reporters from newspapers, magazines, and Internet media. These people were talking in low voices. The entire venue was in a mess, like a vegetable market.

"Senior, why do you think Sony will hold this press conference this time?" A young man with a press card, who looked very young, looked around first, and then asked in a low voice. The person sitting next to him Newspaper senior.

The look of looking around is like a college student who just came out of society, so inexperienced, looking at everything with curious eyes.

"Baga, what do you think? Of course it's because of Sakamoto Kiyoshi!" Sitting next to him, a middle-aged man whom he called "senior" taught that person in a very calm tone of lecture. youth.

This middle-aged man, even if he was indoors, was wearing a fisherman's hat and a camera vest. When people saw it, they would know that he was definitely not a paparazzi, but a reporter.

That's right, this partner who has a sense of sight, a veteran and a rookie, is a reporter from a well-known entertainment newspaper.

Because Kiyoshi Sakamoto broke out on the MS live broadcast that he was going to take a half-year vacation, stop all performing arts activities, and concentrate on his studies. The amazing speech caused a storm in the entire entertainment industry in an instant.

After the MS live broadcast, news about Kiyoshi Sakamoto's "holiday event" appeared on the Internet, mainstream media, and entertainment newspapers and magazines.

All kinds of public opinions and speculations are presented in front of the public.

There are conspiracy theories rising again. These people are mainly loyal fans of Kiyoshi Sakamoto. They believe that the reason why Kiyoshi Sakamoto said in the live broadcast that he was going to rest for half a year is because Sony gave Kiyoshi Sakamoto's body to him again. "squeezed dry"

This remark is also popular among Kiyoshi Sakamoto's fans. After all, when Kiyoshi Sakamoto debuted in the early days, he fainted because of Sony's hard pressure. Sony has a criminal record! !
But, how to say, this statement is only half right.

This time, although it was also because of physical problems that he asked for leave for half a year, the nature of this time was different from the last time.

Last time, it was because Sony ignored Kiyoshi Sakamoto's physical condition and overwhelmed him with work, which caused Kiyoshi Sakamoto to rest for a while and was in the hospital. . .

But this time, it was Sony's senior management who discovered that Kiyoshi Sakamoto's health was in trouble, coupled with Kiyoshi Sakamoto's request, and immediately let Kiyoshi Sakamoto take a vacation for a period of time, this time on his own initiative.

But last time, it was passive.

There is a fundamental difference between the two.

In addition to this conspiracy-like public opinion, there is another public opinion that is more acceptable to the public.

That is, Sakamoto Kiyoshi is preparing for quitting the showbiz!
In other words, it is very likely that Kiyoshi Sakamoto will not return to the entertainment industry after this holiday.

This assumption made many fans of Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN feel desperate.

The original publisher of this public opinion was not a fan of Sakamoto Kiyoshi, but a group of Sakamoto blacks.

They want to impact Sakamoto Kiyoshi's reputation and popularity by spreading rumors, so as to achieve their goal of discrediting Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

Therefore, in addition to spreading rumors that Sakamoto Kiyoshi is about to quit the showbiz, they also spread rumors about Sakamoto Kiyoshi's "high school promiscuity", "walking on a dozen boats", "very bad personality, likes to play big names" and so on. rumors.

Although rumors only stop at the wise, there are often too few smart people in the world, and the world is basically ordinary people who follow what others say and follow the trend blindly. . .

Therefore, these rumors have gained the trust of some people. A small number of Kiyoshi Sakamoto fans have begun to withdraw from the fan club, and some even posted pictures of themselves burning Kiyoshi Sakamoto’s album on the Internet. Unknowingly, it is slowly forming.

However, Sony's response was not slow. Seeing these heated public opinions, the public relations department played a role at this time.

Sony immediately released an announcement letter on its official website, all of which denied the slander and smear of Kiyoshi Sakamoto in today's society. In the letter, Sony also repeatedly denied the rumors that Kiyoshi Sakamoto had quit the entertainment industry.

At this moment, Sony's huge machine started.

First, I contacted familiar media and asked them to suppress all news about slandering and slandering Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Then, through the vast network of contacts, the entertainment news broadcast on the TV station will remove the news about Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

In the end, looking at the growing public opinion, Sony decided to hold a press conference to clarify the "leave event" directly at the press conference.

These public relations responses were the rapid response of Sony in half a day after Kiyoshi Sakamoto turned off his mobile phone and fell asleep.

Knowing that Sony's public relations handling ability is so strong, Kiyoshi Sakamoto couldn't help giving them some praise.

However, when he knew that he would also attend the press conference, Kiyoshi Sakamoto refused at first.

However, after hearing what Kitagawa Naoki said lightly, he readily agreed to the request to attend the press conference.

That sentence is "If you don't go, the vacation will be gone."

Hearing this, Kiyoshi Sakamoto had no choice but to attend this press conference with Yuichi Yamada.

. . . . . .

The camera returns to the conference site again.

Sakamoto Kiyoshi followed Yamada Yuichi and walked into the press conference venue from the side door of the venue with a smile on his face.

Suddenly, a large number of flashes flashed in the venue, accompanied by the sound of shutters being pressed one after another.

And the "veteran" middle-aged reporter who was teaching his younger generation at the newspaper just now stood up abruptly, holding his own SLR camera in the direction of Kiyoshi Sakamoto in a very skillful way, and kept pressing the shutter.

Because there were too many reporters on the scene, and in order to take clearer photos, they all stood up from their chairs and blocked the view of the colleagues behind them. Therefore, this "veteran" can only Standing up from the chair, holding the camera high, photographing Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

The "rookie" young man sitting next to him, at this moment, seemed to be in a daze, sitting on the chair in a daze, at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Seeing his partner's confused face, the "veteran" grabbed the "rookie" by the collar and shouted loudly, "Rookie, pick up your camera and start taking pictures! Baga!!!"

Because the shouts at the scene were very noisy, and there were "Sakamoto-kun, please look over here" and "Sakamoto-kun, look this way" everywhere. If you don't shout loudly, the "rookie" may not be able to hear what you are talking about. Therefore, Jiang Still old and spicy. . .

After being reminded by his senior, the newcomer remembered that he seemed to be here to take pictures of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, so he stood up belatedly, picked up the camera, and started shooting wildly at Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

It's a pity that at this time, he has already missed the best time for shooting, because Kiyoshi Sakamoto is already sitting on the seat on the stage, and the full-body photo is gone.

In the end, the "rookie" could only sit down unwillingly.

"Then, now, friends from the media, please sit down, the press conference is ready to begin." As soon as the Sony spokesperson's voice fell, all the reporters sat down immediately.

Seeing the neat movements, Sakamoto Kiyoshi, who was sitting at the press conference facing the reporters and the camera, was also a little surprised.

"Wow, is the discipline of the reporters so good now? Their movements are so consistent, and they are really obedient..."

However, what he didn't know was that the reason the reporters were so obedient was because they wanted the press conference to start as soon as possible, so that they could get news about him as soon as possible.

Closer to home, the press conference officially begins.

First, Yuichi Yamada, who represented Sony Records executives, set the tone for this press conference.

"The purpose of our Sony Records holding this press conference is to clarify and explain the public opinion caused by our Sony artist Kiyoshi Sakamoto's remarks on the MS live broadcast."

"So, first of all, I am here, on behalf of Sony Records, to express to the public that we will always stand behind our artists and support him. As for all the slander and slander about Kiyoshi Sakamoto in the society, it is all slander, We will reserve the right to pursue legal responsibility for those who post inappropriate remarks!"

"Then, now, friends from the media, if you have any questions, you can raise your hands and ask questions. Thank you."

Yamada Yuichi's domineering words shocked the reporters at the scene. They all saw from Yamada's attitude how tough Sony's attitude towards Sakamoto Kiyoshi was this time. .

"It seems that Kiyoshi Sakamoto is not planning to quit the showbiz as rumored." The "old bird" sitting in the press box muttered to himself while stroking his messy beard.

Sitting next to him, the "rookie" who had been paying attention to his newspaper senior, also heard the "veteran" whispering, and asked curiously.

"Huh? Senior, why did you say that? Kiyoshi Sakamoto hasn't spoken yet. How can you be sure so quickly that he won't quit the showbiz?"

"Baga, did you hear what Sony's representative said?"

"Well, so what?"

"Director Yamada made his statement at the very beginning of the press conference. Moreover, his words were full of tough attitude, and he was full of support. This proves that Sony still attaches great importance to Kiyoshi Sakamoto. Under such circumstances, would you still value him so much?"

"Uh..."

"Because, he is really just on vacation this time, not quitting the showbiz. All in all, he is still Sony's treasure!!"
