From the Grand Awards incident, when Johnny was forced to quell the anger in the industry at the cost of withdrawing from all awards selections, to today's situation where he is unable to step down, everything is because of Kitagawa Marie's selfish motives.
The apparent criminal is Kondo Masahiko, and of course, he is by no means innocent.
But in the final analysis, the reason why such clowns damage Johnny's reputation and interests one after another is because of Kitagawa Marie's eagerness for quick success.
Kitagawa Kaguya had no children of his own and a family business. If the throne was passed on in the future, Keiko would be the first choice. However, Mary's premature attitude that the position of successor was already in Keiko's pocket made him unhappy.
In addition, in this matter, Keiko was caught between Mari and Kondo Masahiko, and was at the mercy of Mari. She showed no independent opinions and incompetence, and she did not seem to be a person with any great talents or strategies.
Kitagawa thought about this and felt neither pain nor happiness. However, he suppressed all his thoughts in his heart. The top priority was to minimize the negative impact of the matter.
First hold a press conference, let Kondo Masahiko take all the blame on himself, apologize on the spot, and announce his withdrawal from the firm. After that, put pressure on the media to reduce subsequent reports, and even if they want to report, they must report it to Kondo
Taken from Masahiko.
In any case, Kondo Masahiko must withdraw from the entertainment industry, and he is not allowed to come back in any form.
Without this person, over time, the public will forget and accept this repaired memory.
"I got in touch with NTV and got permission to hold an emergency press conference at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon." Shirami spoke at the right time, "Tonight, NTV will use horse subtitles to preview the program."
"The newspaper has also taken care of it, and tomorrow's morning paper will also publish the press conference news." Bai Bozejie worked vigorously and resolutely.
After finishing everything, Kitagawa glanced at the kneeling Kondo Masahiko, "Do you understand? Matchy."
Kondo Masahiko did not dare to say anything and could only kowtow, "...understand."
Jenny and Mary, the two siblings, kicked him out of the entertainment industry with just a few words. Kondo Masahiko knelt there, feeling cold all over, feeling that he was being ruthlessly crushed by the kind of power he once longed for. But he was powerless.
Resist.
Shirami walked over, pulled him up, and looked at his face, "Matchy's face is injured?" He looked at Kondo Masahiko expressionlessly, and said in a calm tone, "The makeup artist will be very busy at tomorrow's press conference.
"
"I will arrange the specific matters. Before the press conference starts, Matchy just needs to stay in the office and have a good rest."
"Anyway," he said with a hint of sarcasm, "everyone from the public relations department is working overtime for you. The huge workload also includes preparing what you want to say at the press conference."
Bai Bozejie despises this kind of guy who doesn't know how much he weighs. This kind of guy relies on the firm from beginning to end, and he doesn't even think about how everything he got came from.
With his light sarcasm, Kondo Masahiko was like a frightened dog. He dared not speak, and with his tail between his legs, he was tied around the neck with an invisible rope by Shirami Zeke and dragged out of the office.
There are only two siblings left, and Fujishima Keiko.
Kondo Masahiko left, and Kitagawa Marie's forced breath relaxed, and then she began to feel weak, dizzy, and her internal organs were aching.
I have to go to the hospital tomorrow...
She was making plans in her mind when Kitagawa opened her mouth and made arrangements: "Julie, you should also be present at tomorrow's press conference."
When Kitagawa Mari heard this, she felt like she had been slapped again, and the pain was even deeper.
Fujishima Keiko was suddenly called out and was a little confused.
Kitagawa Mari couldn't tolerate her daughter and Kondo Masahiko appearing at the same time, and she tried to stop her with words, but was interrupted by Kitagawa Kaguya, "As the manager of the office, I am introducing the new group that is about to debut to the media in a dignified manner."
We must completely kick Kondo Masahiko out of the public eye. In addition, we must also find a way to clear up the "engagement" that was previously discussed with the tacit approval of Kitagawa Marie.
Kitagawa was dissatisfied with Mary, but after all, the two siblings were still the closest partners. Although she was not too fond of Keiko's talent, she was currently the first choice for heir. No matter what, she had to replace her first.
She blocked the matter.
"The candidate group 'Heike Pai' who will be the backup dancer for Hikari Genji will select a few children to debut. It will be announced at tomorrow's press conference. Please take care of the media present and help promote it."
Kitagawa looked at Keiko Fujishima and warned: "You wanted to be familiar with the idol business, so you had contact with Matchy a few times. You never had any intention of dating him. It was the media who made a mistake. However, You believes in behind the scenes
It is a rule for celebrities not to come to the stage. If they think it is a rumor, it will be self-defeating, so they never care about reports related to themselves."
Regardless of whether the public believes it or not, and whether the media believes it or not, this is the fact, and it can only become a fact.
Kitagawa Kao not only wants to suppress the matter for Keiko Fujishima by letting the new idol group debut, but also wants to use this to give Keiko Fujishima a chance to show whether she has talent.
Kitagawa is deeply involved in all aspects, from the selection of newcomers to the production of idols. The successors in his mind may be slightly less capable, but they must be able to inherit his ideas.
Since Mary is eager to let Keiko move to the position of heir, let Keiko first show some talents worthy of a big job.
Fujishima Keiko turned from surprise to joy, "Yes."
Kitagawa Mari was on the sidelines, and she was also relieved. Fujishima Keiko was named in public for the first time as a manager, which was also Jenny's recognition of her.
This time, because Kondo Masahiko made a big mistake, I finally felt a little comforted in the end.
"So," Kitagawa Marie said, concerned about business, "which children should we make their debut?"
Kitagawa Kuo saw Mary's various reactions in his eyes and remained calm. He thought for a while, "Matsumoto-kun, Ishikawa-kun, Yamaguchi-kun, plus Nagano-kun, let them know early tomorrow morning."
"And one more thing."
Kitagawa Marie's face darkened, "No one from Bunchun is allowed to come to tomorrow's press conference!"
Since the Daesang incident, he has bitten Johnny three times in a row. This feud is so deep that it can no longer be repaired.
…
To avoid unnecessary complications, the press conference was held in a large room decorated overnight at Johnny's Office.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, a dejected Kondo Masahiko, dressed in a black suit, sat in a small room next to the press conference and waited. The face injured by Kitagawa Mari was covered with thick foundation, and it became two different colors from the neck.
She looks like a geisha.
Bai Bozejie was inseparable from him, staring at him and asking him to memorize in advance what he wanted to say to apologize.
In this room, Kondo Masahiko was disgraced, just waiting to be put on the execution platform. In another room next door, the four JR who were suddenly informed that they were going to debut today were restless at the moment.
The Heike faction is a group composed of Johnny's trainees. These trainees are divided into two teams. One team is responsible for dancing with Hikari Genji, and the other team is responsible for participating in magazine photos and interviews.
The two teams combined, the Heike faction, is a huge group with a total of fifteen members - last year there were sixteen members. There is a young man named Noguchi Takashi, who had just terminated his contract with the agency not long ago.
Early in the morning, the four teenagers suddenly received a notice and were called to the office. The manager who was always in charge of JR's group, Kitagawa Suo, and Fujishima Keiko appeared together and informed them that the four of them were about to make their official debut.
Before they could react, the four of them started preparing for the debut press conference under the arrangements of the staff. By the afternoon, they had changed into clothes they only wore on stage and sat here waiting for the press conference to start.
Being an idol, there is a huge difference between debuting and not debuting. Suddenly a pie fell from the sky, and the four teenagers were a little at a loss.
Nervous, excited, and confused. In addition, there is also a bit of reluctance to be separated from the other teammates in the previous "Taike faction" group.
This feeling of reluctance is purest before debut.
…
When the time came, the staff knocked on the door of the Heike faction teenagers. The four teenagers were led by Fujishima Keiko and walked into the press conference amidst the sound of shutters and flashes.
At the beginning of the press conference, Keiko Fujishima was the first to greet the media.
"Thank you for coming. I am Keiko Fujishima, the manager of Johnny's." She introduced herself to the reporters present with a cheerful face. "I have officially joined the firm since last year."
Then, she introduced the four teenagers sitting next to her, "This is the new group 'Heike Faction' that has decided to debut. I hope you can take care of them."
The four teenagers followed her and bowed. Afterwards, starting from the leader of the Heike faction, Matsumoto Jiro, the four took turns introducing themselves.
The reporters present were a little confused.
Early this morning, the previews for "Weekly Bunshun" had been hung all over the train cars and placed in the most conspicuous place in the bookstore. At this moment, the whole of Tokyo knew about the good deeds Kondo Masahiko did in Hong Kong.
On the day the trailer came out, Johnny announced that he would hold a press conference. It was not for this matter, but to announce a new group?
"Keiko-san!"
While everyone was speculating, a reporter raised his hand first, "Can you please tell us about Wenchun's preview..."
I'm coming!
One person started, and the rest of the reporters gathered around them like sharks smelling blood. However, the staff present did not speak out to stop it and acquiesced to the development of the situation.
"Yes."
Fujishima Keiko smiled gracefully, but when facing the reporter, she showed a bit of shyness that was not good at handling interviews, "I have heard about related things. Today's press conference is one of introducing the new combination to you, and also
There are two."
Having said this, she paused, but the door to the room was pushed open with a creak. Kondo Masahiko and Shironase Kei walked in one after the other.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
…
Sitting in front of the TV and watching the live broadcast, you can also feel how intense the sound of the shutter resounding throughout the venue and the blinding flash are.
"Here comes the real show."
The strong man standing in front of the TV muttered something, but what he said was not Japanese.
This is the second floor of a mahjong shop in Shinjuku. In the small space, at this moment, there are three or five young and strong men standing or sitting.
They are all members of a Chinese gang active in Shinjuku. These people are stowaways and they are ruthless. Even the Japanese Yakuza are very afraid of them.
A few days ago, this gang received a commission from a certain big shot from Xiangjiang, asking them to help collect debts from this guy named Kondo Masahiko.
On the TV, Masahiko Kondo, who was wearing a black suit, sat down at the speaking table. Compared with the cheerful-looking Keiko Fujishima, Masahiko Kondo on the other side looked as if he was on the verge of death. Before he spoke, he spoke.
Breaking into a cold sweat.
He stumbled and said in a low voice, "Hello everyone, I am Kondo Masahiko. Regarding a series of recent events, I have caused trouble for you..."
Kondo Masahiko has not appeared in front of the media for a long time. This idol, who has long lost his value in the entertainment industry, is about to turn into a torch to be lit during the media carnival amidst the prying eyes of reporters.
"There are some rumors circulating in the world about Kondo-san and me."
Keiko Fujishima talked eloquently, "As a person behind the scenes, I abide by the rules of not coming to the stage, so I have never been interviewed. I thought that the false rumors would automatically subside, but I didn't expect that they would cause trouble to everyone...
"
She took the rhetoric that Kitagawa Kao taught her and said it again with added detail.
She was so fed up with Kondo Masahiko that she could never show any mercy. After making it clear that she was too lazy to pay attention to the rumors, she secretly accused Kondo Masahiko of using fake news to deceive him.
In addition, Fujishima Keiko also repeatedly emphasized through the Heike faction who is about to debut that she is an old-school black person who does not appear in front of the stage. If she had not attended the Heike faction's press conference today, she would not have appeared.
The reporter sitting below may not quite believe what she said.
But the words of this cutting sent a signal: there is no need to show mercy to Kondo Masahiko.
After receiving the permission, Kondo Masahiko immediately turned into a piece of meat thrown into the pile of wolf dogs. The paparazzi pounced on him one after another, peppering him with merciless questions one after another, bound to eat him up.
"Matchy, what should you do about the fact that you deceived the female singer from Hong Kong and owed her 150 million yen?"
…
"Matchy, by hyping up the scandal with Keiko-san, are you taking this opportunity to seek a comeback?"
…
Kondo Masahiko was in a cold sweat when he was asked. He didn't dare to answer, and he didn't dare to lie. He also knew in his heart that if he didn't handle the matter, Marisan might kill him after the press conference, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue talking.
He felt dizzy, and cold sweat was dripping down his forehead. He couldn't help but wipe it with a handkerchief.
As a result, I forgot that I had applied a thick layer of foundation, and as soon as I wiped it off, all the powder on my face was gone, revealing traces of injuries, and I looked like a ghost or a ghost.
There was a burst of ridicule among the reporters in the audience.
A broken car was parked there, waiting for its fate of being emptied and destroyed. Then, everyone became more and more ruthless, surrounding various spicy questions, and began the execution of Kondo Masahiko, as well as the media
Their carnival.
This scene was faithfully recorded and sent to the public watching TV at this moment——
Including in front of the gang members who are watching the show.
The press conference ended in embarrassment. Kondo Masahiko apologized on the spot, announced his resignation from the agency, and permanently retired from the entertainment industry.
The TV was turned off, and a gangster youth went to talk to the middle-aged man sitting at the mahjong table, playing mahjong tiles leisurely: "Boss, you guessed it, and this guy quit the office."
"What does it have to do with us whether we quit or not?" Another young man didn't understand.
The middle-aged man known as the "boss" looked at the young man and said, "Don't you understand? When he quit the firm, he not only lost his support, but also cut off contact with the outside world."
"After he quits the firm and before he makes new connections, this guy is isolated."
A hint of greed flashed in the middle-aged man's shrewd eyes, "The big guys in Xiangjiang have helped investigate, and this guy has made a lot of money by taking advantage of the current situation. However, apart from eating, drinking, having fun and buying racing cars, he has nothing practical."
Did it.”
Kondo Masahiko devoted himself wholeheartedly to marrying into the Fujishima family. He originally thought that the Fujishima family would become his backer and support, but all his plans failed.
In other words, this former famous idol with a huge amount of money is now like a child walking in the city with gold in his arms.
"However, we have to wait a few days to take action. Now is the time for him to attract attention."
…
After finally ending the torture-like press conference, Kondo Masahiko signed the termination letter and left the office as if he was running away.
Last night, Kitagawa Marie was so angry that she went to the hospital early this morning. Otherwise, she might have beaten her severely.
While Kondo Masahiko breathed a sigh of relief, he cursed in his heart, it would be best if that old woman was angry to death!
In the parking lot, there were media waiting to see the excitement ambushing him in the parking lot. He had no agent and was afraid of further complications, so he had to push the reporters and get into the car.
The barbaric attitude offended the reporters again.
But he didn't care at all. He had already quit the entertainment industry anyway, so he no longer needed to be polite to the paparazzi.
It's okay to quit! There's no value in staying any longer anyway... He thought that he could still rely on investment to live well and live well, and he felt happy again.
He went home angrily. As a result, as soon as he arrived in the parking lot, he was surrounded by a few strong men who didn't look good. Without any explanation, they dragged him to the back of the stairs, put a sack over his head, and beat him.
Kick.
Who is it? It must be that ugly girl Keiko!
Kondo Masahiko tried his best to hold his head, curled up into a ball, and endured the beatings from the strong men. While begging for mercy, he cursed in his heart. While cursing, he lost consciousness.
…
He was beaten into a big pig's head just after he retired. Kondo Masahiko was so angry that he wished he could immediately use money to bribe the Yakuza and treat others in their own way.
Not two days after staying in the hospital, the full-page article "Hong Kong singer Amei asked Kondo Masahiko for a debt of 150 million yen and apologized for cheating her feelings" was officially published in the Asahi Shimbun, causing a stir.
There was an uproar.
Within half a day, the news that Kondo Masahiko was injured and was staying in this hospital spread throughout the inpatient department.
The wall fell down and everyone pushed it.
Kondo Masahiko was discharged from the hospital in a hurry, regardless of the fact that his body had not yet recovered. On the way back, the hired driver suddenly stopped at an alleyway. Before Kondo Masahiko could react, three strong men came up from behind, left and right.
He remembered the horror of being beaten by Fatty, and threatened and begged for mercy at the same time.
As a result, the other party had a gentle tone and told him in less fluent Japanese that they were entrusted by someone to talk about the money he owed Miss Amei.
"I will pay it back...I will definitely pay it back!"
Kondo Masahiko was so anxious that he just wanted to get rid of these troubles and cut off these messy threads, "One hundred and fifty million yen, right..."
"wrong."
The leader of the gang smiled and corrected him politely, "The 150 million yen is Miss Amei's debt. In addition, there is also a hard-earned fee to be paid to us."
"A total of..." He paused.
The most vicious one among them reported a number, "Totaling the two items together, the total is one billion and fifty million yen."
How can it be?!
It's impossible to sell him for one billion and fifty million yen!
What's more...
"This is extortion! I want to retaliate..."
Before the word "warning" could be uttered, Kondo Masahiko let out a scream. A shining silver knife was inserted into his thigh.
…
The car drives forward, heading to an unknown place.
