The secretary hesitated to speak.

"You still need to see that thing?"

Director Wei was a little puzzled: "Isn't this something everyone needs? Haven't you seen it?"

Secretary: “…I really haven’t seen it.”

Director Wei frowned and said, "Dudu, stop pretending to be innocent. We are friends now."

The secretary rolled her eyes silently.

"Boss, who are you talking to? I used to be a hard-working female engineering student, okay? I don't have time for these things."

"I know this, but I didn't read it later?"

The secretary glanced at Director Wei and complained, "Then I said to you, Boss, why do I need this thing? Boss, you are such a teacher. You taught me everything. I don't even need to learn it on my own.

Director Wei coughed tactically.

That's what I said.

It's quite embarrassing.

"Thank you for your praise."

Director Wei said modestly.

Secretary: "...Boss, why do you need this? From what I understand, you spent a lot of money in college, didn't you?"

Director Wei shook his head and said, "You don't understand that practicing what you do is an important part of learning from your mentor and increasing your knowledge. There is no conflict.

Those teachers are my youth."

The secretary was very upset. "Then how about I help you arrange some teachers? We don't have any connections with Izumi Sakai, but it shouldn't be a problem for us to exchange ideas with some teachers."

Director Wei doesn't even need to show up for this matter.

Chen Duling said she could do it.

I must fulfill the boss's long-cherished wish.

Director Wei refused immediately.

"Forget it, let youth stay in the past. Teacher is still the most beautiful when she lives on the screen."

Appreciation is appreciation.

When Director Wei admired the teacher, he was just doing it with a learning attitude.

There are no other ideas.

It's different than now.

Director Wei listened to Izumi Sakai on the stage change a song to "Turning the Wheel of Fortune", the theme song of "Detective Conan", and he was completely immersed in the melody again.

The secretary did not continue to encourage the boss to invite a few teachers.

"I've heard this song before. It's from Detective Conan, right?" The secretary was a little surprised.

Director Wei glanced at the secretary, then turned his gaze back to Izumi Sakai on the stage, looking thoughtful.

"It seems that there is a really big market for singers from neighboring countries, including those in the ACG world, and there is indeed a lot of sentiment that can be tapped into."

In its previous life, the path that the small station took was undoubtedly niche, and it was even gradually declining.

So after Director Wei acquired Station A, he consciously let Station A cut off the model of Station B.

But judging from the secretary's reaction, there is definitely a two-dimensional market, and it is not small.

Don't give up either.

If necessary, we can actually cooperate and communicate with some anime and singers from neighboring countries.

After all, the income of the entertainment industry in the neighboring country is far less than that of the Chinese-language film industry.

Very cost-effective.

"Dudu, have you watched Conan?"

"Of course, I've read all the popular manga, and I've heard of the ones I haven't read."

Director Wei nodded and continued, "Have many of your peers seen this?"

"a lot."

Director Wei continued to nod, "It seems I really need to have a good discussion with Izumi Sakai. Many of your generation grew up watching the anime. The cultural works and artists in neighboring countries are no less sentimental than those in Hong Kong and Taiwan."

Although our country and neighboring countries do have serious historical problems and many real contradictions.

But no matter what, both countries support people-to-people exchanges, including cultural and business exchanges.

And just cooperate with those who are friendly to China.

This can be stipulated in the contract.

If the other party makes any inappropriate remarks or behavior, the penalty for breach of contract can bankrupt them.

Director Wei has very rich experience in this area.

Station A also has a legal team with an impressive resume.

After all, this model was first created by Director Wei.

At a time when there are more and more bad artists and Ruhua companies, Director Wei's company earns more money by collecting liquidated damages than many companies that work hard as artist managers.

Director Wei is concerned about serious business issues.

But the secretary has a low level of vision.

Hearing Director Wei say this, the secretary couldn't help but complain, "Boss, what does this have to do with Izumi Sakai? Izumi Sakai is just an ordinary singer from the neighboring country. How can she affect your business layout?"

Director Wei corrected him, "Izumi Sakai is not just an ordinary singer from the neighboring country. She is the first female lead singer of a rock band in that country and is also an outstanding female singer-songwriter.

Her album sales have topped the charts, and she's won the annual 'Best Singer Award'. It's no exaggeration to call her a national treasure-level female singer."

The secretary added calmly, "Most importantly, she's very beautiful and has a great temperament."

Director Wei's face flushed red, and he said angrily, "Dudu, your mind is full of dirty thoughts right now.

I value her because she has extensive connections in the entertainment industry."

The secretary chuckled and said, "Boss, if you need connections, I can contact Johnny's."

Director Wei: “…”

Johnny & Associates, one of the three major giants in the Japanese entertainment industry.

The most famous business is promoting male artists and male idol groups.

Takuya Kimura, Noriyuki Toyama, Atsuki Sato and others are all contracted artists of Johnny & Associates.

With Chen Duling's current position as Director Wei's assistant, she can actually contact Johnny's Office.

In fact, she can also contact the other two giants.

But the reason why only Johnny & Associates is mentioned is naturally because Johnny & Associates mainly deals with male artists.

The secretary knew very well that her boss had no interest in male artists from neighboring countries.

Director Wei pinched the secretary's small upturned nose and snorted coldly, "You are trying to rebel."

The secretary didn't care at all.

After working with Director Wei for a long time, the young secretary has completely understood her boss.

As long as it doesn't involve issues of principle, her offense is not a big deal.

"Boss, if you're lustful, you're lustful. If you want to lust after someone's body, you're lusty. Don't insult my intelligence."

The secretary said earnestly, "It's ok for you to pretend in front of Izumi Sakai, but why are you pretending in front of me? I don't even know who you are, boss."

Director Wei: "...Hurry up and book a Japanese restaurant for me."

The secretary said bluntly, "Boss, I think Izumi Sakai almost vomited from eating Japanese food next door. She probably doesn't want to continue eating Japanese food now that she's in our country."

Director Wei: "...That makes sense. Let's book a nice restaurant and I'll treat her to some delicious Chinese food."

“Smart choice, I get to pick the restaurant.

"Pick something more expensive."

Director Wei added calmly, "I've learned that the incomes of celebrities in neighboring countries are very down-to-earth."

Literally, it's really down to earth.

Almost all domestic artists receive sky-high pay.

Third-tier stars basically all started out as billionaires.

Not to mention third-tier stars, today's third-tier internet celebrities all want to start out as billionaires.

The domestic population is too large, which makes it too easy to make money in some lower-tier markets.

The country really didn’t manage it well.

In this regard, whether the neighboring countries do well or not is another matter, but the entertainment circles next door are much more down-to-earth than the domestic entertainment circles.

Their stardom is really just an ordinary profession.

The income... is about the same as that of an ordinary person working, a little higher, but only at the executive level.

After Director Wei learned about this, he felt that if domestic artists also had this kind of income, 99% of them would have to change their careers.

According to statistics from Japanese media, the highest-earning celebrity next door earns about 7 million yen a year.

It is equivalent to more than 30 million RMB, less than 40 million.

Director Wei vaguely remembered that this was the price in 2022 in his previous life.

Now it's lower.

More than 30 million may seem like a lot, but this is the income of the most profitable celebrity next door.

Decrease proportionally downwards.

Just think about what an income of more than 30 million yuan would mean in our country’s entertainment industry.

Anyway, Viya, a sales anchor, was fined 13 billion.

Money determines status.

Therefore, the status of artists in neighboring countries is essentially much lower than that of domestic artists.

When facing capital, the way he bows his head is so skillful that it makes people feel distressed.

It's on par with another neighboring Korean country.

It's not like our country.

The celebrities who have made it big in our country have already turned themselves into capital.

Any female singer as famous as Izumi Sakai would have already been financially independent and it would be normal for her to have assets worth billions. After all, Izumi Sakai has been popular for more than 20 years.

However, the reality is not so.

Just as Director Wei expected.

Although Izumi Sakai is richer than most people, after all, she is really famous. She is not an ordinary singer next door, and her income is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

But it also depends on who you compare with.

Obviously, she cannot keep up with the rapid increase in income of domestic celebrities.

Director Wei deliberately chose a high-end place, but the simple consumption also shocked her.

"Mr. Wei, you said today's meal is worth 900 million?"

Director Wei corrected him, "Nine million is in Japanese yen. If we calculate it in our country's currency, it would only be around four or five hundred thousand."

After saying that, Director Wei glanced at his secretary who was eating heartily in the next room.

He asked his secretary to book a more expensive restaurant.

I didn't say it was so expensive.

To be honest, it was also the first time for Director Wei to have such an expensive meal.

Too extravagant.
