Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

Chapter 278 The stinking pool of the industry

There is actually vicious competition in the industry.

For example, provide the private personal information of famous artists from a rival agency or a rival training center to the media and ask them to help expose it.

Or it may be hyping up bad news about artists from rival agencies or training centers.

Anyway, there are various methods, the main thing is to ruin the other party's reputation and promote their own artists to the stage.

But

AR training center?

Vicious competition?

Are you sure your title is not a joke?

As agents of a large firm, Sugi Shoko and Kusakabe Hezi did not check the information of AR Ziyue Training Center carefully.

But even so, the two of them also knew that apart from the popular disciple Kitazumi Minoru, the AR Subordinate Training Center was just a small subordinate training center.

How could there be 'vicious competition' in a small training center that already had to do its best just to support itself?

To say this is as outrageous as "Japan attacked the United States and the United States was forced to surrender."

This title made both Kusakabe Hezi and Sugi Shoko stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say at all.

And when the two of them finished reading the draft of the plan,

Both of them fell into silence.

It is not that there is vicious competition in AR sub-service training.

Rather, this plan is a vicious competition between various large-scale sub-service training centers against AR sub-service training centers.

The above are basically all kinds of methods to attack and discredit the AR training center.

But

Why?

Nowadays, Kitazumi is very famous, and her reputation in the sub industry is unparalleled. As long as there are TV series or movies that use Zi Ya, most of them will probably want to cooperate with Kitazumi.

And Kitami Minori's popularity did affect the job offers from his own firm's subordinates.

They are also quite clear about this.

But therein lies the problem.

There have been some very successful geniuses in the industry.

Ashida Aina and Suzuki Fuku were so popular back then that they could even be said to have dominated the entire era of the sub-ya industry.

At that time, they had never heard of any sub-service firm attacking each other for this reason.

Why is it different here in Beicheng Minoru?

It can’t be that Kitumi Minoru has the attribute of mocking others, right?

Kusakabe Hezi and Sugi Shoko frowned, a little confused.

But soon they seemed to have thought of something. After briefly looking at each other, they lowered their voices almost in unison.

"Firm size."

That's right.

Whether it is Jobby Kids, the child training institute where Ashida Aina belonged to back then, or the office where Suzuki Fuku worked, they are all big names in the industry.

Who would go crazy and find trouble with these two firms?

But AR subservience training is different.

It is just a small firm, and at most it only owns Kitazumi Minoru.

within the Japanese industry.

Large firms look down on mid-sized firms, and it is quite common for mid-sized firms to discriminate against small firms.

This can be seen from the fact that no one was willing to accept the business card given by Tamura Koji - this is a complete chain of discrimination.

The same goes for Kusakabe Heko and Sugi Shoko.

The two of them were walking outside, subconsciously ignoring the small firm's agent's business card and dinner invitation.

no way.

There is a huge gap between the personal connections and resources that agents in large firms can draw upon and access to actors and producers, compared with agents in small firms.

So it is natural that there is a chain of discrimination.

But even so

"Isn't this kind of deliberate smear and attack going too far?"

Sugi Xiangzi lowered his voice.

It is normal for large firms to discriminate against small and medium-sized firms.

But such deliberate rumors and attacks are too despicable, right?

Doesn’t this just mean that the AR Ziyu Training Center is easy to bully, and you can’t see Kitami Minori continuing to be popular, so you want to go up and kick the AR Ziyu Training Center?

Probably in the arrogant eyes of these big offices.

Stepping on a small training center like the AR Ziyue Training Institute is probably the same as stepping on a bug, right?

Kusakabe Hezi didn't reply.

But the furrowed eyebrows had completely exposed her thoughts - she didn't approve of this approach either.

To put it bluntly.

The AR Ziyue Training Center defeated them just by doing normal business.

Even if the subordinates of major firms are indeed influenced by Kitami Minoru, it is just that the skills of major firms are inferior to others. What is there to say?

He actually resorted to bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

Sugi Shoko and Kusakabe Hezi finally understood why they were arranged for this meeting.

The reason is simple.

That is because the two of them are well-known agents in the industry, and they have spent more or less time with Kitami Minoru - during the filming of "Kidnapped Natsuko" and "Swordsman Den".

Everyone present wanted to hear their impressions of Kitami Minoru as two staff members who had come down from the "front line".

But Shoko Sugi and Koko Kusakabe knew it well.

Although here I want to hear their impressions of Kitaki Minoru.

But the meaning is quite obvious.

Mainly, I wanted to ask them if they had heard any negative rumors about the other party during their contact with Kitami Minoru.

In response to this, Sugimu Shoko and Kusakabe Hezi could only say that they had nothing to say - not because they felt that it was inappropriate to do so, but because they really had nothing to say.

Kita Sumire was not an ordinary shoujo.

When communicating with each other, let alone negative rumors.

Even negative rumors can be said to be quite rare.

Kita Sumire basically laughed off these things and did not mention them at all.

Although the child was only 9 years old, he was even more cunning than some old foxes.

Therefore, the two of them could only give such an answer.

Fortunately, the heads of other agencies present did not ask too many questions.

After asking a few more questions, they once again brought up the core of this meeting.

That is the attack or smear strategy that should be adopted against the AR shoujo training center - although Kita Sumire could not find any points for smearing and making rumors, and was very popular in the industry.

But the AR shoujo training center he belonged to was different.

It was just a small shoujo training center.

As long as you are willing to knock and beat, you will definitely fall a lot of dust.

Not to mention that there are other actors in the AR actor training center.

Can it be guaranteed that these other actors do not have negative rumors or black materials?

As long as the AR actor training center can be nailed to the pillar of shame.

Then Kita Sumire's acting career will inevitably be affected.

The industry attaches great importance to the reputation of actors, and the reputation of the agency is also within the scope of assessment.

After all, whether it is filming a movie or a TV series, investors are afraid that the main actor or the company behind the main actor will break out some negative news to affect the ratings or box office revenue.

Listening to their discussion.

Sugimu Shoko and Kusakabe Hezi sighed softly.

Although they know that the industry as a whole is a sewage pool.

But who knew that it would be "sewaged" to this extent?

Just because Kita Sumire's popularity this year is considerable, suppressing all actors of the same period, they have to attack the AR actor training center behind him.

And the means used are very simple and unpretentious.

It was nothing more than throwing dirty water on the AR sub-service training center.

It was far from the business war plots in the novels and TV dramas that they imagined, where business tycoons raised their hands and feet and used all their wisdom to compete with their opponents.

But they had to admit it.

Such means were indeed very effective.

Because sub-service and the agency were bound to each other.

If the agency was affected, then the sub-service would definitely be affected.

But what could the two of them do?

Sugimu Shoko and Kusakabe Hezi looked at each other.

They saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

To put it bluntly, they were both famous female agents in the industry. They were just office workers who received salaries.

At most, they didn't ask, didn't take sides, and didn't help in this matter.

The key point was Hosokawa Shibaizumi and Akiyama Shion.

Kusakabe Hezi and Sugimu Shoko had been having a headache because of the recent unsuccessful work progress.

If Hosokawa Shibaizumi and Akiyama Shion knew that their ‘boyfriend’ was bullied by their own agency.

Ugh. Hiss.

Just thinking about this, Kusakabe Kazuko and Sugimu Shoko felt that not only their heads, but also their stomachs began to throb.

Oh. It really is a headache.

“This is true.”

Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Kitasumi raised his eyebrows.

To be honest.

When Kitasumi saw the title ‘Does the AR Actor Training Center currently have a bullying behavior among the actors?’, he was indeed stunned for a moment.

He thought that the group of actors in the AR Actor Training Center paid tribute to him—buying drinks for him and calling him the commander-in-chief Kitasumi was dug up and reported by the media with exaggeration.

But what he didn’t expect was.

What was exposed by the media was that Maejima Shinjiro and Ogawa Katsuya had bullied other actors in the past.

At the beginning, these two guys were going to bully him, but they failed to bully him, and instead were severely punished by him.

The source of this news media information must be the shoujo who used to work in AR shoujo training center but moved to other shoujo training centers.

Kita Sumire remembered that Maejima and Ogawa were bullying other shoujo at that time.

It was not surprising that such negative news would be exposed.

When they bully others, they should have expected such a result.

Kita Sumire knew from Tamura Koji that AR shoujo training center was discussing the punishment of Maejima and Ogawa.

But

Kita Sumire knocked on the table, and the bad omen in his heart became stronger and stronger.

After all, AR shoujo training center is just a small office.

Who would think of digging up the black material of a small office when they have nothing to do?

Even if they really want to dig up news.

They should catch him, a first-class shoujo in the industry.

Even the wording of this report can be said to be quite harsh.

While accusing the AR Actress Training Center, he also said, "The acting skills of the actors under the agency that allow high-ranking actors to bully other actors are all cold. "

This is undoubtedly a veiled attack on Kita Sumire.

This highly targeted statement made Kita Sumire feel that someone was targeting the AR Actress Training Center and him.

"It doesn't seem like an illusion."

Kita Sumire pondered.

The invitation to shoot the second season of "Little Canteen" has not come yet.

The AR Actress Training Center happened to have problems again.

I always feel like someone is behind all this.

Bei Chengshi thought about it, then took out his cell phone and simply chose Kawamura Takefumi's cell phone number.

He planned to call him and ask him what was going on with "Little Canteen".

But before Bei Chengshi could press the call button.

The screen automatically jumped to the call interface.

The caller was Kawamura Takefumi, whom he had been thinking about for the past two days.
