Ping Qingshan knew that after all the hesitation, the real show was finally about to begin. "Since Brother Qingshan is also making a movie, he should know about the live-action movie of Saint Seiya." The live-action Saint Seiya movie, with an investment of 80 billion yen, is very popular in the Japanese entertainment industry today. It had been featured in a magazine at the same time as "Battle Royale", so Ping Qingshan naturally knew about it. "Of course I know. Is today's incident related to this movie?" Ping Qingshan thought that Hori Takeo would continue talking about this topic. I never thought that after Hori Takeo clicked on the Saint Seiya movie, he became emotional again. "The market competition is getting more and more fierce. HORI's recent situation is not very good. Don't laugh at me. Most of the newcomers we launched last year failed. We invested a lot of resources in several projects, but the people were not promoted." Hori Takeo kept laying the groundwork with a tone that the market was difficult to operate in. Ping Qingshan agreed while wondering what this old fox was going to say.
"Some time ago, the production committee of Saint Seiya found me and invited us to join the committee. I tried to decline, but several of my artists were disobedient and went to negotiate cooperation with the crew without permission. I had no choice but to join the production committee of Saint Seiya." Hori Takeo was quite helpless, but there was a sense of freedom in his tone. At the end of his speech, he raised his glass and took the initiative to toast. "Brother Qingshan, when you return home, remember to tell your father a message. This is indeed a helpless move on my part. I hope your father doesn't mind." After saying this, Hori Takeo stopped talking. Ping Qingshan also roughly understood why this scene was happening before his eyes. After all, it was all for his cheap old father. That makes sense. But, what is the relationship between the Saint Seiya crew and my father? Ping Qingshan narrowed his eyes. Although he didn't understand, he didn't show it too much in front of Hori Takeo. After that, the two chatted for some more time, and when the group came out of the shop, both of them had satisfied smiles on their faces. Before leaving, Itano Tomomi smiled and pointed at her own cell phone, then pointed at Hira Kiyoshige's cell phone, and finally waved. "Goodbye, Supervisor Qingshan." Itano Tomomi's movements were very natural, but Sakurajima Mai could clearly feel that Hirakiyoshi was stunned for a moment. Then, the cell phone in Ping Qingshan's pocket vibrated noticeably a few times. It should be a text message from Itano Tomomi. On the way back, Ping Qingshan looked at the still brightly lit Ginza and sighed deeply: "Do you want to see the content of the text message?" Although Sakurajima Mai was very curious, she still shook her head. However, Ping Qingshan handed the phone directly to Sakurajima Mai.
"Read it, and delete it for me after you've read it." I took the phone and it turned out to be a greeting message from Tomomi Itano. [I am very happy today. I asked the president for your phone number. If you are free in the evening, you can come to my house for a cup of coffee. If you are not free today, you can contact me at any time.] At the end of the text message, her address was also attached. At this moment, Mai Sakurajima was really surprised. Just now at the dinner table, she didn't think Itano Tomomi was such an open-minded girl, and she never thought she would be so direct. "Will everyone become like that if they stay in the entertainment industry for too long?" Sakurajima Mai felt that she had really broadened her horizons today. Ping Qingshan took the phone and said with emotion. "That's not the case. I can only say that the girl is too ambitious." This is not the first time that Ping Qingshan has received such text messages in recent years. He thought that girls from AKB would not do such things. After all, that's AKB where dating is prohibited. But from a realistic perspective, it's probably human nature to want to take shortcuts. From this perspective, Mai Sakurajima, who has always stayed true to her heart, is even more admirable. In fact, Hira Kiyosugi probably guessed why Itano Tomomi was so straightforward. Unlike most people in AKB, Tomomi Itano's economic company is HORI rather than AKS which is directly under AKB, so theoretically. Tomomi Itano does not need to obey Akimoto Yasushi's orders. After being transferred to HORI, this girl who is very popular in AKB in mainland China has already had the idea of flying abroad. HORI also has the idea of using AKB's influence to push her to a higher level. Historically, after this year, girls will gradually move away from staying at home and begin to adopt a fashionable style. This would cause her popularity in AKB to plummet, but would also get her more modeling and fashion magazine work. But this has nothing to do with Ping Qingshan, so I didn't think much about it. On the contrary, what Hori Takeo said about the Saint Seiya movie made him think deeply. After all, Hori Takeo is a powerful figure in the Japanese entertainment industry. Treat yourself to a meal just to say they are collaborating with a movie? Besides, why should I apologize to his cheap father on his behalf? Ping Qingshan felt like he was in a fog at the moment. No, he had to find a place to talk to his father. This riddle is only half solved, which is really frustrating. "Come on, let's go sit over there for a while, I'll make a phone call." "Ah." It is difficult to find a quiet place in Ginza, but Ping Qingshan happens to know a place, which is a restaurant on the top floor of a high-rise building.
Ordinary people need to make an appointment to go, but Ping Qingshan has a family card from his father. Whether he has an appointment or not is not a problem for him. Chapter 32: The Struggle for Succession The moonlight is beautiful tonight. This top-floor restaurant is located on the tallest building in Ginza. When you look up, you can see the bright moon, and when you look down, you can overlook the entire bustling Tokyo. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows, polished to a crystal clear state, block out the cold wind from the sky, leaving only the boundless beautiful scenery. The furniture in the restaurant's private rooms is minimalist yet refined. The long table, square chairs and comfortable sofas all make people feel the warmth of home. In addition, the embellishment of green plants and flowers makes the entire space full of vitality and vigor, as if you are in a sky garden. A man in a suit stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a mobile phone, looking out the window at the night view of Tokyo. If it were put in an advertisement, this would definitely be a successful persona. Mai Sakurajima sat on the sofa, just watching Hira Kiyoshige standing in front of the window and talking to his father on the phone, just watching. The two of them didn't spend much time together tonight, but Sakurajima Mai had a deeper understanding of the three words "Hira Kiyoshige". At least in addition to trust, this name also adds a sense of familiarity. His mature and steady temperament is fully revealed. He does not deliberately show off or make publicity. He treats people calmly, yet gives people a touch of gentleness. These are things that Mai Sakurajima has never encountered in school. The boys she met in high school were too immature, and the classmates she met at the Tokyo Film and Television Academy were often too flamboyant. It was rare to find someone like Ping Qingshan. Mai Sakurajima admits that she is obsessed with looks, and Hira Kiyoshige's looks are indeed a plus for her. But then again, if it was just because of his looks, she wouldn't have had a good impression of Ping Qingshan. There were many handsome guys in East Film Academy, but what really moved her was Ping Qingshan’s calm demeanor and his eyes that listened attentively. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone out to eat alone late at night with a man she had only known for three days. After a long time, Ping Qingshan finally put down his phone and sat back on the sofa. "Are you having problems?" Mai Sakurajima saw that Ping Qingshan's brows were still slightly frowned, so she picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Ping Qingshan. "You've been on the phone for so long, have a drink of water first." "Thank you." Ping Qingshan took the teacup and felt his throat a little dry. He drank it all in one gulp and then poured himself a cup of tea. He picked up the sandwich next to him, took a bite, filled his stomach, and then spoke slowly. "Hori Takeo invited me to dinner this time because he betrayed my father..."
Sakurajima Mai glanced at Ping Qingshan with her beautiful eyes. She asked casually and didn't expect Ping Qingshan to tell her these things. The two have met three times in total, including today. But Ping Qingshan trusts Sakurajima Mai very much, and these words are not actually a secret. Perhaps the news that Ping Qingshan had recently used his own means to control the crew had reached his father, or perhaps Ping Qingyinan simply felt that his son had grown up. In short, Ping Qing Yinan told his son a lot on the phone. This information was very complicated and was something that Ping Qingshan had never known before. His mind is in a mess now, and he needs to talk to clear his mind. ~~~ As the saying goes, where there are people, there is the world. This is true for the world, for Japan, and for Dentsu. As a giant in the entire Japanese entertainment industry. Dentsu also has a very large and complex organizational system. With so many people, the internal structure is naturally not a monolithic entity. Due to the complexity of the business segments. Advertising, investment, proprietary business, and the power structure within Dentsu are also constantly changing. However, despite the many factions within Dentsu last year, all were peaceful. There is occasional competition, but it is all within a reasonable range. But after Dentsu's president, Morikei Yoshida, suffered a sudden heart attack in the second half of last year and was admitted to the hospital, the entire Dentsu was in turmoil. Although at the beginning of this year, Yoshida Morikei returned to the company from his sickbed. But that feeling of weakness could not be hidden from others. Given his physical condition, even if he survived the illness, it would be impossible for him to stay in charge of Dentsu for long. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that within a year at the shortest, or two to three years at the longest, the president of Dentsu would definitely be replaced. The president of Dentsu is going to be replaced. This is a big deal for the entire entertainment industry and even the entire Japanese economic circle. To put it in an inappropriate analogy. This personnel change can be said to be the inheritance of the throne of the Entertainment Bureau. At this critical juncture, the competition among several directors within Dentsu can be imagined. From the initial temptation to now it has become completely intense. Everyone is trying to rally their own forces.
According to the explanation of Ping Qingshan's father Ping Qing Yinan. There are currently three people who are expected to take over, namely, Yuyama Naoto, who is in charge of the domestic television advertising business segment, and Yamashita Yasuto, who is in charge of the overseas advertising business. Finally, there is Ping Qingshan’s father, Ping Qing Yinan, who is in charge of film advertising business. The movie "Saint Seiya" is about the attack on Hiraaki Ichinosuke led by Yuyama Nato and Yamashita Yasuto in collaboration with him.
