Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 238 The First Step

Although Mr. Kitagawa knew his information very well, he was somewhat uncomfortable, but after thinking about it, Kiyoshi Sakamoto felt that it was normal.

After all, Sakamoto Kiyoshi was once Johnny's "enemy". Facing your own enemy, you can only win every battle if you know yourself and the enemy. Therefore, knowing more about Sakamoto Kiyoshi's "enemy" is also helpful for defeating Sakamoto Kiyoshi of.

Moreover, as the helm of Johnny's, Mr. Kitagawa has a different identity from him as an artist, sits in a different position, and thinks differently.

Different status, different ideas, this is the saying "the ass decides the head"

Although I know that Mr. Kitagawa's praise must have a purpose, but who doesn't like to hear good things, especially the praise from the opponent's boss, which makes a certain "genius" very happy.

"However, I'm really embarrassed to listen to the old man listing his achievements one by one! Hahahaha..."

Although I am happy in my heart, I still have to be humble on the surface.

After all, humility makes progress. . .

Kiyoshi Sakamoto waved his hands wildly, denying, "No, no, I think these are the levels that can be achieved through hard work, and there is nothing worth showing off, let alone a genius."

Sakamoto Kiyoshi's words are not entirely modest words, he really thinks so.

Although he was reborn, he also got the memories of his previous life, and after his rebirth, he got a strong memory and learning ability, which made him invincible in learning anything.

However, he has always known that he is not a genius.

All of this success is due to plagiarizing songs and novels under the memory of his previous life.

What he has achieved through his own efforts can be said to be that in these years, he kept skipping grades, and relying on his own memory and learning ability, he was successfully admitted to the University of Tokyo. . .

Knowing this, Sakamoto Kiyoshi did not feel complacent because of the praise from the outside world, but used the "super power" he got after his rebirth, that is, his vivid memory and super learning ability. Learning all kinds of knowledge.

Music, acting, writing. . .

He set himself an ultimate goal, that is, to truly become an almighty "genius" through his own efforts without relying on the memory of his previous life!
In other words, you have to use your own original songs that you didn't have in your previous life to win a prize; or write an original novel that you didn't have in your previous life and win a literary award, or rely on yourself for a movie that didn't appear in your previous life. Exquisite acting skills, become the actor!
Only in this way can he be considered a real "genius", a hard-working "genius"!
However, before that, he didn't feel any guilt about plagiarizing those songs from his previous life, or choosing to star in a movie that was sure to be successful.

Because, if you have a golden finger, you don’t need it. Isn’t it stupid? ! !

Sometimes, the time of thinking seems to be a long time, but in reality, only a few seconds have passed. . .

"If you say that, then the world is full of geniuses. After all, I think there are many people who work harder than you..."

The words of big brother Kitagawa made Kiyoshi Sakamoto serious.

"Is this satirizing my laziness? Is it satirizing me that I am so popular because of my genius, not because of my own hard work? It seems that the old man is also somewhat unhappy about the continuous defeat of his group by my subordinates." ..." Hearing the words of Big Boss Kitagawa, Sakamoto Kiyoshi was also moved in his heart, thoughtful.

"Well, I know that there are many people in the world who work harder than me, so that's why I have to work harder to be worthy of those people who have worked hard secretly but can't succeed!"

"Because only in this way, when they see me, they will think, "Ah, even a genius like Kiyoshi Sakamoto works so hard, so what excuse do we have for not continuing to work hard?" ! "If I can make them have this kind of thinking, even if only a few people change their lives through hard work in the end, then I have done a good thing."

"Don't you think so?"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto's words made Kitagawa, who was sitting across from him and had been watching his expression, loosen a little, and suddenly felt a bit of astonishment in his heart, and then laughed out loud.

"Haha, yes, you are right!"

Although his face was full of smiles, Kitagawa had another thought in his heart.

"Although he has already attached great importance to him, he still underestimated him..."

"Such an answer, even Takizawa, the most mature among the young people in the office, might not be able to say it..."

As the leader of JR's golden generation, he led JRs to hold concerts at the age of seventeen or eighteen. The 24-year-old Takizawa Hideaki also became the youngest main character in the history of Dahe drama last year. It can be said that Johnny is currently in the younger generation. He is also the most convincing senior within Johnny's, and is also a person that Kitagawa values ​​very much in his heart.

However, compared to Sakamoto Kiyoshi, Takizawa Hideaki's is also slightly inferior.

"Well, such a sophisticated and talented future superstar is someone else's baby. If it is Johnny's baby, how wonderful it would be!!!" Mr. Kitagawa also sighed secretly in his heart.

"However, if you can't be a family member, you can still be a friend..."

This is what Grandpa Kitagawa is thinking at this time.

Since April, when he heard that Kiyoshi Sakamoto stopped performing arts activities for half a year, he thought that Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who would return half a year later, would not be as strong as before. " (Sunflower), hit him hard in the face.

Breaking through 60 on the first day, and breaking one million in a week, such results undoubtedly made the senior management inside Johnny's deeply feel the horror of this 16-year-old boy.

The vice-president Yasuko Fujishima was still thinking about suppressing Sakamoto Kiyoshi again; however, after being slapped in the face, Mr. Kitagawa thought that Sakamoto Kiyoshi had already gained momentum at this time, and if he suppressed him again, it would inevitably cause Sony's counterattack.

Therefore, in the end, at the suggestion of Mr. Kitagawa, he decided to make friends with Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Of course, at this time, making friends with Sakamoto Kiyoshi does not mean that Johnny bowed his head to Sakamoto Kiyoshi, but that Johnny didn't want to waste time on suppressing and secretly targeting Sakamoto Kiyoshi, that's all.

Their idea is that since this "monster" is so powerful, they should turn him into their friend, so at least they won't hurt themselves. None of their business. . .

To put it simply, it is "I can't beat you, but I can be friends with you so that you don't beat me!"

Johnny's idea is very simple, as long as he has a good relationship with Sakamoto Kiyoshi, and then informs them when Sakamoto Kiyoshi, the "sales monster", releases a new song, then they can avoid confronting Sakamoto Kiyoshi head-on; When a new song is combined, you can also inform Sakamoto Kiyoshi, and ask Sakamoto Kiyoshi not to release a new song during that time to avoid collisions.

This is called "giving way".

This is actually an unspoken rule that everyone knows in private between good record companies.

And why before, when Sakamoto cleared the record, why didn't Johnny give way, and instead started a head-to-head confrontation?
In fact, it is because of two reasons.

One is that there is no friendship between Johnny and Sony, so it is impossible for Sony to disclose to Johnny when Kiyoshi Sakamoto debuted as a newcomer.

Moreover, when Kiyoshi Sakamoto made his debut, even Sony did not expect that he would attack the entire music scene with a sweeping force.

Second, after realizing the threat of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, Johnny felt that Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who is "not an idol, but better than an idol", is a big threat to their monopoly on the male idol market, so they sent Arashi continuously. Kat-Tun, come and stop him head-on.

By this time, Sakamoto Kiyoshi had already established himself as a top singer and the little king of the music world, and it became unrealistic to suppress him. Therefore, Johnny's senior management, with the support of Mr. Kitagawa, decided to change The attitude towards Kiyoshi Sakamoto changed from targeting to friendship.

And this time, Mr. Kitagawa called Sakamoto Kiyoshi and asked him to come over to play with Johnny's, which was actually the first step in making friends.

As for this, Kiyoshi Sakamoto guessed to some extent.

So, he appeared here.

And this also shows that both parties have the intention to make friends.

It hits it off.

In this way, the old and the young, with their own ideas, started chatting.

Mr. Kitagawa, who was chatting excitedly, looked at Sakamoto Kiyoshi in front of him, becoming more and more pleasing to the eye, and suddenly thought of an idea.

"Sakamoto-kun, did you also receive an invitation to MUSIC STATION SUPER LIVE in a few days?"

"Well, I just received it some time ago." Sakamoto Kiyoshi replied.

MUSIC STATION SUPER LIVE is TV Asahi's signature audio program, "MUSIC STATION" will hold a special program at the end of each year.

It can be said to be one, and every time some heavyweight singers and some popular singer groups are invited to perform a wave of music parties.

As the most popular bands and singers in recent years, THE SUN band and Kiyoshi Sakamoto have received invitations from the MS program group last year, but because Kiyoshi Sakamoto was filming a movie, they unfortunately did not appear.

And this year, the MS program group also sent invitations to Sony early, hoping to invite Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN band.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is still considering it.

Because, he just took over two films and wanted to study the characters at home, but he thought of the other two members of the band, so he was in trouble. . .

At this time, Kitagawa's words interrupted Sakamoto Kiyoshi's thinking and surprised him.

"Sakamoto-kun, do you want to cooperate with us?"
