Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 673
The entertainment circle is a hotbed of gossip and a circle where profit is paramount.

In many cases, interests drive people forward.

Whether it's good or bad.

For the media, explosive news headlines, astonishing inside information, and eye-catching rumors all represent a surge in magazine sales, newspaper sales, and website views.

That is, the incarnation of "interest".

Therefore, the first big event that caused a sensation in the entertainment industry in 2011 - the "gakki job-hopping incident" has attracted the attention of almost the entire Japan and all entertainment media.

Everyone wants to get a share in this matter. . .

Even "Weekly Bunshun", which included Kiyoshi Sakamoto in the white list of non-reporting, sent someone to ask about Kiyoshi Sakamoto's attitude, to see if it could also report this matter, and get some traffic by the way.

In this regard, Sakamoto Kiyoshi is not without exception.

Anyway, this is not a shameful scandal.

What's more, the addition of "Weekly Bunshun" will only give Sakamoto Kiyoshi a very influential helper and a microphone in the media.

Therefore, Kiyoshi Sakamoto revealed some inside information about this matter to "Ben Chun", and invited "Ben Chun" in advance to attend the press conference a few days later.

And this press conference is precisely the measures Sakamoto Kiyoshi took to put an end to the various discussions and rumors in the past week.

For this reason, in the name of SMA, Kiyoshi Sakamoto sent invitation letters to almost all the media involved in this "job-hopping storm", inviting them to participate in this grand press conference.

. . .

January 1, Tokyo, Shinagawa, SMA headquarters building.

In the pre-arranged press conference venue, many reporters are waiting eagerly.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the door on the side of the venue, waiting for the appearance of the owner here.

Without making them wait too long, the door was pushed open.

Leading the way at the forefront is the actual speaker of SMA, Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

With long legs and wearing a blue and black striped suit, Kiyoshi Sakamoto walked into the venue under the blinding lights of the scene.

What followed behind him was not his deputy Kitahara Hikaru, but an unexpected but reasonable person.

a woman.

"Gakki!"

A young reporter at the scene also called out the woman's nickname.

That's right, the stunningly beautiful woman with a proud height and a signature smile is not Yui Aragaki who has been at the center of the public opinion storm in the past week, who else? !

With Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Yui Aragaki taking their seats one by one, the host gave an order, and this much-watched press conference officially began!
As soon as he came up, Kiyoshi Sakamoto first introduced Yui Aragaki, who had recently joined the company, to everyone.

Just like a football club, for a newly transferred player, the chairman of the club will also bring the new player to hold a press conference to announce his joining.

The main purpose of this press conference is also the same.

Of course, it's more than that. . .

After a brief artist welcome ceremony, the main event of the press conference was finally staged.

"Next is the question-and-answer session. Please raise your hands and ask questions."

As soon as the host's voice fell, all the reporters present raised their hands high, trying to grab this precious opportunity to ask questions.

Under Kiyoshi Sakamoto's signal, the staff of the public relations department, who was the host, looked around, and finally clicked on the reporter of "Weekly Bunshun".

This move also caused a sigh of relief on the scene, and the reporters regretted that they were not selected.

The "Benchun" reporter with a press card didn't pay attention to the jealous eyes of his colleagues, but stood up and asked methodically: "I want to ask Aragaki-san, why did he choose to leave the former firm? Reconcile the contradictions?"

This question, if it is sharp, is okay; if it is mild, it is also a little aggressive.

Not a good answer. . .

However, this issue is undoubtedly the most concerned of everyone, including the people who eat melons and fans.

This is why Sakamoto Kiyoshi discussed with "Weekly Bunshun" and handed over this issue to "Bunshun" to raise it.

Because the answer to this question has already been determined.

Yui Aragaki, who was sitting next to Sakamoto Kiyoshi, first turned his head, glanced at Sakamoto Kiyoshi, and then opened his lips slightly under Sakamoto Kiyoshi's encouraging eyes, and replied:
"I don't have any conflicts with the firm. President Honma has always been very kind to me. I am very grateful for the firm's cultivation of me...

"Leaving LesPros is just to seek new challenges and to try more diverse jobs."

"Why did you choose SMA?" Another question was thrown at her.

"Because SMA has my friend, Sakamoto-kun"

. . .

Facing all kinds of questions and traps from the reporters, Yui Aragaki's answers were very decent and generous, and she didn't open her mouth to complain about the various problems of her former office like other entertainers who have changed their careers, nor did she

This made the reporters present feel something was wrong.

This question and answer, how does it feel that Yui Aragaki has long been prepared?
The feelings of the reporters are not their illusions.

Before holding this press conference, Kiyoshi Sakamoto asked the people of the company to give Yui Aragaki a drill on the problems and pitfalls that might arise at the press conference.

A giant loli who has mentally prepared and practiced in advance is naturally not an idiot. How could she say something that was caught at the press conference?

The plot of the press conference continued to unfold as Kiyoshi Sakamoto had predicted in advance.

First, he introduced Yui Aragaki, and after answering a few questions, Kiyoshi Sakamoto took the opportunity to announce that he will collaborate with Takeshi Kitano in a movie next year.

And the heroine will be played by Yui Aragaki, who has just joined the company!
This news directly pushed the enthusiastic atmosphere of the press conference to a climax!

It also shifted everyone's attention from "job hopping" to "new film project".

As for the accusation of "poaching" from LesPros, Kiyoshi Sakamoto fought back at the end of the press conference.

In a strong tone, he condemned LesPros' militarized management and domineering way of doing things, and called it "a stranglehold on the artist's personal freedom and drive!"

After all, LesPros has a bad reputation, and Sony contacted many media to encircle and suppress LesPros.

After the press conference, the image of the victims of LesPros received deep doubts and blows.

Honma Ken knew that if this continued, it would not be of any benefit to him or LesPros, so he had no choice but to give up.

Following Honma Ken's confession, the job-hopping turmoil that had been hyped up has come to an end for the time being.

However, everyone's eyes focused on Yui Aragaki again.

Because at the press conference, Kiyoshi Sakamoto announced that he and Takeshi Kitano will cooperate in a movie in 2012, and the heroine will be starred by Yui Aragaki.

As a result, the attention of the media was diverted from the job-hopping incident by Kiyoshi Sakamoto to his new movie with Takeshi Kitano.

This news also made Yui Aragaki completely unaffected by job-hopping, and under the binding effect with Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Takeshi Kitano, her popularity and popularity rose instead of falling!
