Chapter 405 The fish that got hurt

"I'm holding my photography exhibition, it's none of their business!"

Masaharu Fukuyama's chest fluctuated, his eyes were sharp, and he sat on the sofa with a cloudy expression, looking at the manager quietly.

And the manager sitting opposite also said helplessly.

"I also think that President Kitano is going too far, but there is no way. You know that today is different. Today's Universal is no longer the time when President Yamazaki was in charge..."

This is Masaharu Fukuyama's house in Minato.

Inside the room, there was only Masaharu Fukuyama, who was frowning and gloomy, and his manager for many years.

Fukuyama Masaharu, who is usually personable and doesn't get angry easily, now looks obviously very angry.

If Kiyoshi Sakamoto was present, he would definitely know that it must have happened, something that even a calm and calm person like Masaharu Fukuyama couldn't help it.

But this matter is a long story. . .

As early as three months ago, when Kiyoshi Sakamoto's second solo album had not yet been released, and was even in preparation, Kiyoshi Sakamoto proposed to collaborate with Masaharu Fukuyama on a single in the album.

But at that time, after the two got the approval of their respective brokerage companies, they were just close to the goal. As Masaharu Fukuyama's record company, Universal actually rejected the proposal of this collaboration single.

This made Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Masaharu Fukuyama very helpless, and Masaharu Fukuyama went to play against Kenji Kitano secretly because of this.

However, I thought that Kenji Kitano would be afraid of Fukuyama Masaharu's status in the music world and the world, and restrained his interference with Fukuyama Masaharu a little bit.

Kenji Kitano also restrained himself "slightly". . .

That can't be helped, Masaharu Fukuyama happened to be filming "The Devotion of Suspect X" in March or April, and Kenji Kitano had no reason to wear it for Xiao Xie.

It's just that the time for convergence is a bit short, less than two months.

And in April, when Kitano Kenji was very upset because his attack on Sakamoto Kiyoshi was not going well.

Instead, he asked his subordinates on a whim, what is Masaharu Fukuyama, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's teacher, doing now?
However, the subordinate's answer made his already upset mood erupt like a detonated volcano.

"What?! He just finished shooting the film, and instead of starting to prepare a new song, he ran to hold some kind of photo exhibition instead?!"

That's right, just as Kiyoshi Sakamoto was making his way around the world with his own efforts, Masaharu Fukuyama returned to his hometown of Nagasaki and opened his own "Photo Stage III - Reverberation" photography exhibition in the art museum.

Originally, Masaharu Fukuyama's interest in photography was basically known around the world.

Even Kenji Kitano, the newly appointed president, knows a thing or two.

Moreover, in the past few years, Masaharu Fukuyama, no matter whether he served as a special photographer for the Olympic Games or opened a photography exhibition, Universal has never interfered.

After all, it is personal freedom.

However, the strange thing is that the timing of this photography exhibition is really timely.

Just in time, Kitano Kenji was feeling upset about how to defeat Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

Here, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's album sales are sweeping the sales of Universal's three groups of singers. On the other hand, Masaharu Fukuyama is leisurely holding a photo exhibition.

People, sometimes, once their eyes are red with anger, everything they see in their eyes is full of anger.

And it just so happened that Kitano Kenji had nothing to do with Sakamoto Kiyoshi, so he vented his anger on Fukuyama Masaharu who was on the muzzle of the gun.

To put it bluntly, the unlucky Fukuyama Masaharu was the fish that got hurt. . .

Kenji Kitano took advantage of his status as the president of the record company to send a righteous "order" to Masaharu Fukuyama in Nagasaki.

Ask him to return to Universal immediately and start preparing for his new album.

This high-spirited order made a good-tempered person like Masaharu Fukuyama frown in an instant.

You know, since he became a big name in the music scene with his song "Sakura", for seven or eight years, Universal has always respected him and never interfered with his personal freedom.

Even the release of a single album has never urged him.

However, the newly appointed President Kitano did this, which directly reminded Fukuyama Masaharu of the last time when Kitano Kenji rejected Sakamoto Kiyoshi's cooperation with him for no reason, and he couldn't help feeling unhappy.

I wanted to ignore it, but Kenji Kitano's next move was like adding fuel to the fire, and it immediately detonated the flame that had just been extinguished in Masaharu Fukuyama's heart.

The anger is burning again!
Kitano Kenji saw that Fukuyama Masaharu did not obey his order, came back immediately, and even protested to AMUSE.

The content of the protest implied that Fukuyama Masaharu relied on his own status and did not abide by the treaties in the record contract.

Although this move of pressure has no effect on Fukuyama Masaharu's status in AMUSE, after all, he is a shareholder of AMUSE. . .

However, there is nothing wrong with the inside, but there is something about the face!

This kind of behavior simply does not take Masaharu Fukuyama seriously, and directly treats him as one of those little singers under Universal, who come and go when they are called? !
Is this tolerable or unbearable? Fukuyama Masaharu, who was thinking of going with him, felt that now people are stepping on his head to shit, can this be tolerable? !
Certainly can't bear it! ! !
So Masaharu Fukuyama, who was far away in Nagasaki, Kyushu, took a plane directly at Nagasaki Airport and flew back to Tokyo!

Therefore, the above scene appeared.

An angry Masaharu Fukuyama and his manager were discussing how to deal with Kenji Kitano's unreasonable behavior.

. . .

"So what?!" Fukuyama Masaharu obviously suppressed his anger, and said loudly, "Even if he is the president of Universal, it doesn't mean that Universal is his voice."

"But, Fukuyama, you need to know that Universal is not AMUSE..."

The manager sitting across from him also reminded him.

These words made Masaharu Fukuyama's brows furrow even more.

That's right, in AMUSE, he is a shareholder and a bigwig who can influence AMUSE's stock price; while in Universal, although he has the title of "Global First Brother", after Kenji Kitano took office, it can be seen that, He didn't take this false name seriously.

Of course, he, a big singer in the music world, was not taken seriously. . .

Suddenly, Fukuyama Masaharu thought of something a little funny, and couldn't help chuckling.

"Huh?" The manager looked confused.

Seriously, why did you suddenly laugh?
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I suddenly thought of the cause of all this. I felt very funny, so I accidentally laughed out..." Fukuyama Masaharu waved his hands and explained.

"Huh? Why?"

"Well. Speaking of which, my teacher, have you been tricked by your own students?" Fukuyama Masaharu returned to his usual domineering president mode again, leaning on the sofa, with his hands on his raised thighs, with a tone of voice laughing.

"Uh, it's sort of..." The manager who has worked with Fukuyama Masaharu for more than ten years also understood the meaning of his words, and replied a little dumbfounded.

"Hahaha..."

Speaking of the cause, I have to mention, Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

From the very beginning, Kenji Kitano and Universal targeted only Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

However, it may be because of the collaboration single that led Kenji Kitano to expand his target range.

From one person, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, to Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Masaharu Fukuyama!

In the final analysis, Fukuyama Masaharu is just someone who Kitano Kenji uses to vent his anger whenever he can't deal with Sakamoto Kiyoshi. . .

It was with this in mind that Fukuyama Masaharu said the words "being cheated by students".

"However, that's fine. It's not clear, and I won't see clearly that the newly appointed President Kitano is actually so narrow-minded..."

Masaharu Fukuyama put away his smile, and tapped the coffee table lightly with his slender fingers, his tone cold.

"Then, what should we do now?" The manager lowered his eyes and said helplessly, "After all, you are still a singer of Universal Music, even if the president keeps interfering with you, you can't just walk away. . . ”

After Yu Yu said this, the manager reached for the teacup on the coffee table, ready to moisten his throat.

The two had been chatting for nearly an hour. . .

However, the moment he was about to drink tea, he saw Fukuyama Masaharu's eyes, and his movements froze.

"Could it be?!"

It was a pair of shining bright eyes with firm eyes in the depths.

The agent who has known Masaharu Fukuyama for many years is of course very familiar with Masaharu Fukuyama.

And this kind of look has only appeared once in ten years.

It was in 1999 that Fukuyama Masaharu made the decision to switch from BMG JAPAN record company to today's Universal Music!
This made him forget about continuing to drink tea, but asked with a tangled face, "Don't tell me, what you think is exactly the same as what I think now..."

"Hahaha..."

"I just like you like this, you don't need me to say it, you know what I mean."

Fukuyama Masaharu also laughed because of the tacit understanding between himself and his old friend of the agent.

"Really, you are like this, I am very troubled..." The manager uncle blatantly accused Masaharu Fukuyama, although he was an artist under him, but in fact he was a good friend.

"It's okay, didn't you do a good job last time? I still remember that you got into a fight with the artist director of BMG because he cursed me..." Fukuyama Masaharu also had a smirk on his face bring up old things.

"It's not because of what he said, "You will not develop better if you leave BMG", "You will regret it, and you don't ask us by then, you want to come back" and other nonsense..." The manager uncle, muttered in a low voice.

"Yes, yes, it really is my good friend..." Fukuyama Masaharu hugged the manager's uncle, as if praising a child, comforting a good friend of his own age.

"..." However, the manager uncle looked at him speechlessly, "I'm not a child..."

"Really? Ahahaha..."

Fukuyama Masaharu's unique laughter sounded again in the room. . .
