"Next, my assistant will take you one by one to my office for an interview. I look forward to spending time with you all."

Kitahara Makoto said a few polite words with a smile on his face.

0 .......

Then he turned and left the meeting room.

……

Back in my office.

"Kitahara-kun." x2

I saw Kitahara Makoto return.

Two men wearing glasses, with thinning hair, and looking to be in their fifties or sixties stood up.

"Professors, please have a seat."

Kitahara Makoto quickly and politely invited the two to sit down.

These two are professors in the Department of Psychology and Social Sciences at Meiji University.

Although he hasn't graduated yet, Kitahara Makoto is already a well-known alumnus, and he recently donated 100 million yen.

They are already qualified to use the school's resources.

And the most important element of a university is, of course, 'people'!

A group of talented college students, a group of knowledgeable professors, and a group of incredibly capable alumni.

It has formed a unique and powerful organization in society.

University alumni!

It's somewhat like an ancient martial arts sect.

Although the hierarchical relationships are not as close as those between ancient sects.

However, its influence is dozens, or even hundreds of times greater than that of ancient sects, and it can affect all aspects of society.

This time.

Kitahara managed to get these two professors' help through his mentor.

They were all masters in the field of psychology in Japan.

He has authored numerous works and mentored countless students; he is the honorary chairman of many psychological institutions.

They are all wealthy people, and ordinary people would never even see them.

Only someone like him, a great writer, a successful entrepreneur, and an alumnus, could achieve this.

Only then can we get them to do such a small thing.

After Kitahara Makoto sat down, his assistant outside the door quickly brought in the first person...

Chapter 86: Beidouxing Film and Television

With the expertise of two psychology gurus, they help Kitahara Makoto interview several bodyguards.

It's beyond using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

This is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

So the interview ended quickly.

Kitahara Shin ultimately left behind seven people.

Three men and four women.

Mai Sakurajima and Yui Aragaki are often away on location due to filming commitments.

Therefore, two of the female bodyguards would stay close to them for extended periods of time.

The remaining three women spent most of their free time with Kitahara Makoto.

Eriri even commutes to and from get off work with him.

Therefore, the remaining five bodyguards were sufficient to protect the safety of the four of them.

After the final list is finalized.

Kitahara politely saw the two professors off and had his assistant arrange a driver to take them home.

Both sides tacitly avoided discussing money.

At their level, small sums of money are no longer a concern; what they value more is connections and networking.

This time, Kitahara truly owes these two professors a favor. In the future, if these two professors need help, or if their juniors need help, they can ask him for assistance.

So-called connections are formed through such interactions where you help me and I help you.

……

After seeing the two professors off.

Kitahara "160" then signed a formal employment contract with Capac.

Hire those seven bodyguards to protect yourself and the safety of those around you.

Because of the need to enter the country, it will take some time to apply for a work visa.

So after signing the contract, Capac also left with the twelve people.

The seven people chosen by Kitahara Makoto will officially start their duties in three days.

……

After Capac and the others left.

Kitahara Makoto arrived at the Hokutosei Film Company located downstairs from the NicoNico animation building.

This is a wholly-owned subsidiary that he recently had Yuta Kawamoto establish.

Primarily responsible for NicoNico's future self-produced TV dramas, movies, and variety shows.

With the acquisition of Kyoto Animation, Beidouxing Animation's self-produced animation business has fully matured.

They have a very complete animation production pipeline.

Now he basically doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

Then Kitahara Makoto naturally had to start considering how to address the shortcomings of NicoNico animation.

Because we want to become a super-large comprehensive video website.

Without self-produced TV dramas, variety shows simply won't work.

By taking an unconventional approach, they have gained a significant first-mover advantage through self-produced animation.

If we don't take advantage of this time to make up for our shortcomings, then...

The first-mover advantage will soon be wiped out by time.

It will be extremely difficult to establish a monopoly by then.

"President."

Kitahara Masato came to Beidou Star Film and Television.

General Manager Sugito Kubo rushed out to greet him.

Kitahara nodded to him, then asked.

How's the new company going?

"It's going very well."

Kubo Sugito quickly replied, "My colleagues adapted very quickly, and the basic framework of the company has been established. After a period of adjustment, we can start filming the first TV series."

"Very good, well done."

Kitahara Makoto nodded slightly.

This Sugito Kubo was recruited by a headhunting firm from TV Tokyo.

This person was originally the head of the production department at TV Tokyo, and had been working on the front lines of film and television production for many years; he was very capable.

However, TV Tokyo recently got a new director, who happens to be his arch-rival.

So after the new station director took office, he kept making things difficult for him, making Kubo Sugito feel very embarrassed and uncomfortable.

Just then, Kitahara offered him a large sum of money and the position of general manager of a subsidiary.

So he naturally chose to come to Beidouxing Film and Television.

NicoNico Animation now enjoys a considerable reputation in the industry, so his presence here wouldn't be a disgrace to his former position as the head of the production department at TV Tokyo.

……

Kitahara Makoto had basically never watched any Japanese dramas in his previous life.

Therefore, he couldn't help Sugito Kubo much in the TV series.

It's even more impossible for an amateur to give instructions to an expert, something so laughable.

Fortunately, as long as you are on the right track, even if you encounter some difficulties in the early stages, you will eventually succeed.

It's just a matter of spending more money.

Consider it tuition.

Besides, Sugito Kubo is a capable person.

With his abilities and connections in the entertainment industry, plus the support of NicoNico Animation, it's not impossible for him to revitalize Beidouxing Films.

In the TV series, Kitahara really couldn't help Kubo Sugito at all.

But on variety shows.

He then had something to say.

When talking about variety shows, one cannot help but mention 'Korean entertainment'.

The South Korean entertainment industry is indeed at the forefront of Asia in some aspects, such as the idol industry, idol dramas, realistic films, and variety shows.

In his previous life, Kitahara Makoto had watched many popular variety shows in China.

A large portion of these variety shows are remakes or 'borrowed' from South Korean variety shows.

Including "Back to Field" (Korean: "Three Meals a Day"), "Running Man" (Korean: "Running Man"), "Go Fighting!" (Korean: "Infinite Challenge"), "Li Jiaheng's Hip Hop" (Korean: "Show Me the Money")...

It turns out that South Korean variety shows are indeed quite impressive.

If we bring these variety shows over...

Kitahara really can't guarantee the fire's safety.

But a low flame is definitely possible.

And that's enough.

Kitahara Makoto's requirements for Hokuto Star Films are as follows.

It can be weak, but it cannot be absent.

Moreover, these variety shows have all proven themselves to be huge hits.

In addition, there's the current popularity of NicoNico anime.

The possibility of it not becoming popular is almost negligible.

At that time, these variety shows had not yet been released in South Korea.

Kitahara Shin took it out and immediately became the founder.

Perhaps many years later, behind his titles of genius writer, national writer, business tycoon, and entertainment mogul, there will be more to come.

He can also add the title of 'Godfather of Variety Shows'.

Thinking about this, Kitahara Shin's interest was truly piqued.

He went back upstairs to NicoNico Animation's office.
