Chapter 125 29. What?! Ask Takuya Kimura to endorse(2/2)
But, why is Johnny?
...
The president of Johnniez, Nishitakawa, is someone who feels disgusting when Aochi-gun hears his name.
Even Nao Tsuda felt scared.
If it weren't for absolutely no way, he really didn't want to deal with this person.
It is said that the background of Nishida River is very deep and the tentacles are stretched very long. Basically, the entire neon entertainment industry is related to Nishida River.
This person can be said to be a big shot in the entertainment industry.
But until now, Nishitakawa has never appeared in front of the media, and has not even had a public photo. It can be said to be extremely mysterious.
This person has a very bad character, but his vision is very vicious and his training methods are excellent. Those who come from the Johnnie Artist Office are basically famous stars in the country.
For example, Hiroyuki Sanada, Furuo Noguchi, Hideki Nishiki, Kenji Sawada...
The scumbag Kondo Mahiko, who had caused a lot of controversy some time ago, was a scumbag who was full of storms in the city.
This person deeply hurt Miss Anita Mui and abandoned Akina Nakamori, who had always loved him. In 1990, he also used Akina Nakamori to promote himself.
After being injured in his relationship, Akina Nakamori fell to the bottom. Not only did she drink heavily, she also committed suicide for a while, which made her throat squander now.
Last year, Akina Nakamori wanted to make a comeback with a concert, but the result was not satisfactory.
Thinking of this, Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but sigh.
...
But he looked for Johnnys because he was interested in someone.
This person's name is-
"Takuya Kimura?"
Nishitakawa, 61 years old this year, has a very high hairline, and has a lot of wrinkles on his face, two big bags in his eyes, sunken eye sockets, and his lips look a little shriveled and white.
But overall, the eyes are bright and energetic.
Especially when he speaks, you can feel that inexplicable sense of intimacy.
When Nishitakawa heard the name [Taoya Kimura] chosen by Pokeni, he felt a little incredible.
Because this young man is still very young and has no reputation.
Yes, Takuya Kimura, who will become the best-known male idol in Neon, is now just an insignificant artist in the Johnniez office.
Takuya Kimura will start starring in the TV series "Izu's Dancer" and "Love White Paper" until next year, 1993, and participate in various variety shows, and then it will become popular.
And it was not until 1996 that he would star in the urban love TV series "Long Holiday".
The finale of "Long Holiday" is 36.7%, and Takuya Kimura plays the young man, a little dog, and has a sweet interaction with the heroine, becoming the dream man in the minds of countless girls.
When the drama was broadcast, it caused the social phenomenon of "Yuejiu will not go out".
So it is normal for Nishitakawa to find it strange. Now that Johnny is popular, it should be Kiyoshi Higashi, but Aochigen chose Takuya Kimura, who has just emerged and has not much popularity.
But after thinking for a while, Nishitakawa laughed.
"President Qing has a lot of vision," said Nishitakawa. "This guy Kimura has a handsome face, which makes people unable to see enough. Although he has not become a big idol yet, he should not be popular soon."
It's not just fire, it's just a burning of a whole neon sky.
However, Nishitakawa said this, but he may not be optimistic about Kimura. He just needs to raise Kimura's value, which will help the firm get more price.
...
Tsuda Nao's lipstick reminded Aochigen of Takuya Kimura.
In his previous life, Takuya Kimura had a very famous advertisement. In 1996, Takuya Kimura endorsed KANEBO's lipstick. This was the first time that a man endorsed female cosmetics, which caused a sensation in the entire advertising industry at that time.
In that era, as long as you could sell 500,000 lipsticks a year, it would be absolutely a best-seller. After Kimura was used as the spokesperson, 3 million lipsticks were sold in just two months.
Both men and women love him.
How crazy is it?
He posted Kimura's lipstick poster, and it would be torn away after only one night when placed on the wall, so KANEBO had to send special security guards to protect the poster later.
It is really amazing to ask boys to endorse lipsticks. No matter from which perspective, KANEBO's advertising marketer is a genius.
Qing Zhigen thought of Takuya Kimura at the first time, and he also liked his current value. Now that he is not very valuable, he may not be able to afford it if this guy becomes completely popular next year.
"So, what kind of product does Pokeni want Kimura to endorse?"
Before making an appointment to have dinner today, Nishitakawa learned a little about pokeni, but the more he investigated, the more he was confused.
Pokeni is obviously a small company, focusing on galgame-themed games.
Nishitakawa doesn't know much about games, he only knows that this kind of game is probably a plot-oriented love game.
Pokeni doesn't produce game consoles themselves, so the demand for celebrity endorsements should not be that great.
After all, there will be only one month's promotional period between the development of a game and the launch of the shelves. If the artist only does this cycle of publicity, it will be really unpaid for the game company.
But pokeni does not have long-term operating products.
This is incredible.
Qing Zhiyuan took out the prepared information from the briefcase and put it on the table and pushed it in front of Nishitakawa. "I hope Kimura will become the spokesperson for the newly developed Pokémon IP of our company."
"IP?" Nishitakawa felt a little confused.
"IP, Intellectual Property, intellectual property, but in terms of contract definition, it is all products and derivatives developed around Pokémon. Can you understand this way?" Qing Zhiyuan asked patiently.
"oh."
Nishitakawa still couldn't understand, so he first read through the information given by Qing Zhiyuan.
After some explanation, Nishitakawa finally clarified his thoughts.
"So that's it, that is, if it's related to this so-called [Pokemon], let's find Kimura to endorse it, right?" Nishitakawa asked, "So what products are there?"
"Around Pokémon, we will continue to develop corresponding games in the future, followed by cartoons, and then toys, figures, various products that use Pokémon avatars and content, such as water cups, or entertainment facilities... and so on..."
Qing Zhiyuan explained it one by one, very detailed.
Of course, Nishitakawa is worthy of being an old businessman, so it is necessary to understand some details clearly.
"So how long will your club be signed and how many activities will be arranged for Kimura to endorse each year?"
"In terms of time, we hope to sign for ten years," said Qing Zhiyuan.
"ten years?!"
Nishitakawa was a little surprised.
How confident does Qing Zhiyuan have in Kimura?
Or...
He looked Qing Zhiyuan up and down, not sure if this guy had some habit.
For example, I particularly like Takuya Kimura and others.
"Yes, ten years." Qing Zhiyuan was immersed in his construction of the future empire territory, and he had no time to think about so many messy things.
Seeing his calm appearance, Nishitakawa couldn't help but laugh.
"This is a bit too long." He frowned.
"But, Pokeni has any appeal, although we can make clear these contents through the details of the contract in the future."
"Yeah, okay, okay." Qing Zhiyuan smiled slightly.
Indeed, there is no need to discuss the details of the contract today.
And it won't be Nishitakawa's talk. In the future, Johnniez should have a special person to handle related contract matters.
However, from the other party's attitude, Qing Zhiyuan made a point clear-
Nishitakawa is not opposed to Kimura's endorsement of Pokémon.
...
After dinner, the two had a very pleasant chat.
"President Qing, I admire you very much. You are a person with ideas and courage to act and very decisive." Nishitakawa stood up and handed his right hand to Qing Zhiyuan. "Jennis looks forward to cooperation with pokeni."
Qing Zhiyuan smiled gratefully, "So too."
