Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 235 Johnny-san of the world

"It turns out that the idol empire in the entertainment industry began to rise in this small, unspectacular building?"

At this time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was standing in front of the Johnny & Associates building in Shibuya, Tokyo.

Looking up at the "building" of Johnny's Office, which only had three floors and was brought up to the roof, it was three and a half floors at most. Kiyoshi Sakamoto was a little emotional, but he still couldn't stop his spirit of complaining.

"The S agency of Johnny and Bangzi feels very similar. They are both in a small and not spectacular building that can barely be called a "building". However, it is such a small building that holds The power of idols in their respective entertainment circles..."

"However, this is too small. Compared with the Sony Music Building, it is simply incomparable..."

Also, compared to Sony Music's headquarters building in Chiyoda Ward, and the SME Building in Nogizaka, Minato District, Johnny's headquarters, it seems that it is obviously a bit petty. . .

That's right, the three-and-a-half-story white "building" in front of Kiyoshi Sakamoto is the headquarters of Johnny & Associates, the male idol empire in the Japanese entertainment industry.

Eight years have passed since we moved here in 1998.

Although, in the eyes of outsiders like Kiyoshi Sakamoto, this is just a "building" that is not worthy of the name Johnny, but in the eyes of the J family and fans of the J family, this is the holy place in their hearts.

There is no need to elaborate on the status of this firm that has cultivated countless famous male idols in the Japanese entertainment industry.

Ranked among the top four, Johnny is known to everyone in the Japanese entertainment industry.

And today, it ushered in a very special guest.

Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

Speaking of why Kiyoshi Sakamoto, a subsidiary of Sony, appeared in front of the headquarters building of the "rival" firm, this is about a phone call Kiyoshi Sakamoto received a few days ago.

. . .

It was the third day after entering December.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was studying the script of "Love in the Sky" at home, received an unknown call.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto has two mobile phones with two numbers.

One is the work number, which is generally used to receive work affairs, or to contact people with superficial relationships; and the other is his personal number, which is only known to a very small number of people, such as his friends, loved ones.

Therefore, Sakamoto-san was a little puzzled when he received a call from an unknown source on his personal mobile phone, but he still answered it.

"Mosimoxi?"

"YOU, it's me."

On the other end of the phone, there was a, how should I put it, a very interesting old man's voice.

However, in Kiyoshi Sakamoto's impression, he had never heard such a voice before, so Kiyoshi Sakamoto was a little confused by the other party who said "it's me" as soon as he came up.

He asked blankly, "Huh? Who are you?"

"This is the Johnny of the world, is YOU Sakamoto-kun?" The old man on the phone continued to use his unique way of speaking, and gave his name.

"The Johnny of the world? Johnny-san?!" Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was a little confused at first, suddenly thought of an eternal legend in the entertainment world.

The founder and current president of Johnny & Associates, Johnny Sang!
"Yeah, it's me." Hearing Kiyoshi Sakamoto's exclamation, Johnny-san on the other end of the phone was also very satisfied.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto was surprised, indicating that he still knew his position in this circle, so that the next step could proceed smoothly.

"Yes! Hello, Johnny-san! I'm sorry I didn't recognize your voice, I'm really sorry, I've heard of you for a long time!!!" Although Kiyoshi Sakamoto was puzzled by Johnny-san's sudden call from Johnny, However, through the phone, he could still feel the aura of this big man in the entertainment industry who stomped his feet and shocked the entire entertainment world.

So, he was very polite and polite.

"Oh, it's all right." Johnny-san, an old man who should be 75 years old this year, is very kind to the handsome boy, so he didn't care too much about Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

"Excuse me, what's the matter with you calling today?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto asked cautiously.

He didn't ask mentally handicapped questions like "Why do you have my private phone number?" After all, he is Johnny-san, Johnny-san, and there are plenty of ways to know Kiyoshi Sakamoto's private number. . .

Therefore, he directly asked the doubts in his heart.

"Oh, there is nothing important, just want to ask you, do you want to come over to our Johnny?"

Although Mr. Kitagawa said that there was nothing important, the words that made Kiyoshi Sakamoto's heart beat as soon as he uttered them.

"Jennis in the past? What do you mean?" Sakamoto Kiyoshi was very uncertain about the thoughts of this big man who had never met before, so he could only ask cautiously.

"That's right, do you want to change jobs and come to our Johnny? I'm very optimistic about you!" During the phone call, Mr. Kitagawa said something that made Kiyoshi Sakamoto tense up in a calm tone. .

"Job-hopping? This Johnny boss wants to poach me?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto thought about this hypothesis in his mind, but he quickly denied it.

"Impossible, this must be a test! Test my attitude towards Genis, whether it is normal or hostile!"

He also knew that because of the unpleasant things that had happened with Johnny before, it was impossible for him to have a good impression of Johnny. . .

And this, Mr. Kitagawa must also know.

Therefore, at this time, suddenly saying such a thing should be exactly what I thought, it was a temptation.

Thinking of this, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's heart calmed down a little.

He said in a very serious and serious tone, "Well, Johnny-san, I'm sorry, I can't agree to your request!"

Let’s not talk about whether Kiyoshi Sakamoto will have such huge resources after going to Johnny’s. Take Kiyoshi Sakamoto’s status under Sony Music as an example. go there. . .

In Sony Music, among the male SOLO singers, he is Sony's "second brother" under Hirai Ken; in the band, THE SUN band is the "second" band under the Rainbow Band; Be regarded as Sony's "big brother".

However, if Sakamoto Kiyoshi goes to Johnny, who is very particular about seniority and seniority, he may be ranked outside the dozens. . .

The Johnny combination that debuted earlier than him includes SMAP, TOKIO, V6, KinKi Kids, Taki and Tsubasa, and there is also a scumbag senior who likes to bully his juniors. In front of these people, Kiyoshi Sakamoto can only serve them well. . .

You know, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is in Sony Music, but he exists like a baby, and others serve him, so how can he serve others. . .

As the saying goes, a chicken head is better than an oxtail!

What's more, compared with Johnny's, Sony Music's comprehensive strength is still very strong, and each has its own merits. . .

Just like Ronaldo of Real Madrid, even if he transfers to Barcelona, ​​he can't become a team leader like Messi. Even if Kiyoshi Sakamoto switches to Johnny, he can't become a big boss like Kimura.

So, why do you need to "transfer"?

He feels that he is very happy and comfortable in Sony. In Sony, he is Sony's "C Ronaldo", and he can do whatever he wants!

Therefore, he clearly rejected the proposal of Mr. Kitagawa on the phone.

And hearing the strong will in Sakamoto Kiyoshi's tone, Mr. Kitagawa seemed to have expected that he would refuse,
There was no hint of anger at being rejected by the younger generation in his tone, but admiration instead.

"Haha, it really is Sony's little king, Sakamoto-kun! You really didn't disappoint me!"

When Sakamoto Kiyoshi heard these words, the big stone in his heart was instantly let go.

"Sure enough, is it a temptation?!"

"Hehe, I'm actually joking, hahaha..." There was a burst of loud laughter on the phone, which made one hardly expect that the person on the other end of the phone was actually a 75-year-old man.

"Oh, so that's how it is, hahaha..." Kiyoshi Sakamoto smiled apologetically.

After the two smiled falsely, Kitagawa on the phone suddenly said, "By the way, Sakamoto-kun, why don't you come over and play with Johnny? I really want to meet you!"

At this time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto consciously told him that the main event was coming.

"This may be the purpose of his calling this time. Do you want to talk to me face to face?" Thinking in his heart, Kiyoshi Sakamoto spoke very smoothly, "Eh? Is it really possible?"

"Of course it's okay, Sony's little king is coming to our office to play, what's wrong..."

After thinking for a while, Kiyoshi Sakamoto felt that this might be an opportunity to understand the true attitude of Johnny's "opponent" towards him, so even though he didn't get the company's permission, he agreed.

Go to Johnny's office and take a walk!
"Then... I'd rather be obedient than respectful. In fact, I admire Johnny-san very much. The man who can start from scratch and build the Johnny empire is a role model for our Yamato men!!!"

Sakamoto Kiyoshi has honed his flattering skills to a great extent when meeting with big boss Kitagawa, and big boss Saito Takeo and other high-level officials over the years. Therefore, this wave of flattery was also shot by Mr. Kitagawa on the phone. On the other end, holding the phone, he laughed "hehe".

"Okay, then you can find time to come over in a few days."

"Okay, see you then, Johnny-san!"

Of course, after receiving a call from Mr. Kitagawa, Kiyoshi Sakamoto informed Uncle Ishida and Mr. Beichuan, saying that he would go to Johnny on this trip to see this "Johnny-san of the world", what kind of medicine did he buy in the gourd? . . .

That's why Kiyoshi Sakamoto, a Sony singer, appeared in front of the headquarters of Johnny & Associates.

This is a trip to Longtan alone, or go to the meeting alone!

"Jennis, here I come!"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto pressed his peaked cap, and walked in through the VIP passage of Johnny's Building. . .
