Crossover Anime: The Heroine is in Trouble? I Take Advantage of the Situation

But for Tsutsumi Kazuya and the others on the other end of the phone, it was like heavenly music!

"That's...that's wonderful!" Tsutsumi Kazuya was so excited he was almost incoherent. "Fujiwara-sensei! Thank you for your recognition!"

"How about 10 a.m. tomorrow?" Fujiwara Seiji ignored his excitement and said slowly, "Bring your legal team to my office for a detailed discussion."

"Yes! Yes! We will definitely be there on time!"

After hanging up the phone, Seiji Fujiwara slowly stood up.

He walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the city awakening in the morning light.

Entertainment, healthcare, finance... the foundation for a three-pronged business empire has been laid.

They have also acquired online and offline promotional platforms that cover all channels.

Looking out the window at the vast world, he felt a surge of pride and joy.

An era that belongs to him is about to begin.

……

……

Genesis Entertainment's headquarters are located on the top floor of a newly built skyscraper in Kyoto.

The huge floor-to-ceiling windows offer a panoramic view of Kyoto's vibrant cityscape.

The office features a minimalist design, with black walnut wood interwoven with cool metal lines, exuding a cold and profound aura of dominance.

At this moment, there are Kazuya Tsutsumi, president of U-NEXT, Tatsuya Mori, head of NicoNicoPremium, and Kenji Oshima, CEO of AbemaTV.

Three giants who wield immense influence in the internet video industry sat upright at that enormous desk.

Their demeanor was less like that of business partners and more like that of subordinates visiting their superiors.

Kazuya Tsutsumi leaned forward slightly, a bright smile on his face, his hands clasped on his knees, looking ready to listen at any moment.

Mori Tatsuya habitually pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his gaze behind the lenses sharp and focused, his posture upright.

The eldest, Kenji Oshima, looked solemn, as if he were facing not a rising business tycoon, but a member of a large family who required utmost respect.

"…Fujiwara-sensei, the success of Legal High has completely exceeded our wildest imaginations!" Tsutsumi Kazuya spoke first, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement and awe. "The number of paying users, advertising revenue, and influence in the entire industry across our three platforms have all experienced explosive growth! All of this is thanks to you!"

Mori Tatsuya adjusted his glasses, the tech whiz barely concealing his excitement: "Yes, Fujiwara-sensei. We've successfully torn a huge hole in the walls of traditional television stations. We believe that as long as we continue to work with you, overthrowing their dominance is just around the corner!"

Kenji Oshima, the oldest and most conservative CEO, also set aside his reserve and repeatedly agreed: "We've come here today hoping to finalize the next step of our cooperation. Whatever the conditions, just ask, and we'll do our best to meet them!"

They looked expectantly at the young figure behind the desk.

They were even mentally prepared to be offered an exorbitant price.

However, Seiji Fujiwara simply twirled the pen in his hand and calmly swept his gaze over the three of them.

He smiled and slowly began to speak:

"Since the three of you are so sincere, I won't hide anything from you."

“From today onwards, Genesis will be operating two businesses simultaneously,” Seiji Fujiwara said with a smile. “One is television dramas, and the other is variety shows.”

The air in the office fell silent for a moment.

The smiles on the faces of the three presidents seemed to have been paused, frozen stiffly at the corners of their mouths.

They looked at each other, both seeing the same expression in each other's eyes—had we misheard?

"Fujiwara-sensei..." Tsutsumi Kazuya asked in surprise, "You mean... you're going to produce a brand new TV drama and a brand new variety show at the same time? Fighting on two fronts simultaneously?"

“That’s right.” Seiji Fujiwara’s tone was so indifferent, as if he were talking about nothing at all.

“But…” Tsutsumi Kazuya hesitated.

The other two also hesitated.

That's incredibly bold!

In Japan, TV dramas and variety shows are two distinct fields with completely different production logics.

Even those well-established television stations need to rely on completely different, top-notch teams to gain a foothold in these two fields.

How could one person and a new company simultaneously challenge these two formidable obstacles?

Even if this person were Seiji Fujiwara, he wouldn't be up to the task, would he?

Mori Tatsuya hesitated for a moment, then said, "Fujiwara-sensei, the manpower, resources, and completely different professional understanding required for these two fields... isn't the risk a bit too great?"

“Risk is for those who are unprepared.” Seiji Fujiwara shook his head, confidently and calmly saying, “Since I have this plan, I am naturally confident.”

As he spoke, he took out two pre-prepared documents from the drawer and gently pushed them in front of the three people.

"This is the cooperation proposal. You can take a look at it first."

The three exchanged a glance and picked up the documents with trepidation.

They all gasped in shock after reading just the first page.

That's way too much!

That was a crazy tiered viewership ratings betting contract they made.

The core terms of the contract are simple and straightforward:

Genesis will grant exclusive broadcasting rights for variety shows and TV dramas to three platforms at an industry-leading low production cost.

However, as part of the betting agreement, for every threshold the viewership ratings exceed, the three platforms will have to pay Genesis a huge share of the revenue, which will increase exponentially!

If they were to break the television station's viewership records, they would need to offer even more commercial incentives.

Conversely, if the viewership ratings fail to meet the minimum standard, then Genesis will almost certainly lose all its investment.

“Fujiwara-sensei… this…” Kenji Oshima’s voice trembled, “You’re far too confident, aren’t you?”

"Otherwise what? I'm the kind of person who dares to fight on two fronts at the same time." Seiji Fujiwara spread his hands and smiled.

The three company presidents fell silent once again.

Chapter 138 "Observations on Humanity"! (2/4)

They looked at the outrageous betting clauses in the contract, and then at the unbelievably calm young man in front of them.

An absurd thought arose in their minds: this contract was actually entirely beneficial to them.

If they win, they will firmly secure their position as the new era's overlord; if they lose, the only one who will suffer is Seiji Fujiwara himself.

"We agree!" Tsutsumi Kazuya slammed his fist on the table, his eyes gleaming with a gambler's fervor. "We're willing to gamble with Fujiwara-sensei, betting this entire era on him!"

That afternoon, a joint announcement exploded like a bombshell throughout Japan.

Genesis Entertainment has reached a historic strategic partnership with U-NEXT, NicoNicoPremium, and AbemaTV! Seiji Fujiwara will simultaneously launch new variety shows and drama series, challenging the traditional entertainment industry on an unprecedented scale!

The announcement was full of provocation and confidence, revealing absolute confidence in the quality of the work.

In an instant, all media platforms and social networks were completely flooded with this news.

Entertainment journalists were like sharks smelling blood, their excitement reaching its peak. This news dominated the front pages of major newspapers and websites, with headlines increasingly sensational:

[A battle of the century in the entertainment industry! Rookie King Seiji Fujiwara takes on the traditional television alliance!]

[Madman or Genius? Genesis Simultaneously Enters Variety Shows and Dramas!]

Industry observers have offered their comments, which, while relatively restrained, reveal a mixture of shock and anticipation: "Legal High, the groundbreaking show, is undoubtedly a phenomenon, but variety shows and dramas are completely different fields. Whether Seiji Fujiwara can replicate his success will be the ultimate test of his true abilities."

Meanwhile, ordinary viewers have been stirred up by the internet.

The discussion on forums and social media is unprecedented in its intensity:

"Holy crap! That's incredible! One person taking on an entire industry?"

"Fujiwara-sensei is awesome! Support Genesis! Let's crush those outdated TV stations!"

"Don't be too optimistic, the variety show industry is a deep and complicated place. I feel like they're going to mess this up."

……

……

In this storm of public opinion, the first to take concrete action were those second- and third-tier actors who were struggling in the industry.

They keenly realized that a brand new giant was rising.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them, who were suffocating under the pressure of traditional seniority-based systems.

Genesis' recruitment email was flooded with resumes overnight.

"If we could participate in the Genesis story, even if it's just a small role, we might just soar to great heights!"—this became their shared expectation.

107 After all, there's the example of Takuya Ma right in front of us!

Some small and medium-sized brokerage firms were even more aggressive, taking the initiative to approach Genesis and recommend themselves.

Meanwhile, large agencies, while outwardly remaining inactive, secretly began to reassess the possibility of collaborating with Genesis and screened their artists who were suitable for Genesis' style, preparing for both possibilities—whether to place a bet or take sides, they needed to wait and see.

……

……

A luxury apartment in Tokyo.

This is one of the properties purchased by Seiji Fujiwara.

At this moment, Shiyu and Eriri had just finished their day's work and were resting on the sofa in the living room.

"Eri, look at this!" Shiho's eyes suddenly lit up as if she had seen something amazing, and she handed over the tablet computer in her hand.

"what?"

Eriri lazily took the tablet, but her pupils contracted sharply when she saw the news headline.

"Seiji... is he really that bold?!" she blurted out, her tone a mixture of shock and a hint of excitement she herself didn't realize. "Is he going to dominate the film and television industry?"

Shi Yu leaned back on the soft cushions, her long, fair legs crossed, her posture elegant.

She muttered to herself, "Taking on two fronts at the same time...that's crazy ambition."

A mixture of worry and anticipation swirled within her.

Reason told her it was difficult; the television station and production work were intertwined, forming an impenetrable web.

The Japanese entertainment industry has been closed for a long time.

But past experience tells me that Seiji Fujiwara can always create miracles!

“Shiha,” Eriri turned her head and asked seriously, “Do you think… he can succeed?”

Shi Yu gazed at the dazzling Milky Way outside the window for a long time before slowly uttering a sentence:

"I don't know, but he has never failed."

……

……

Meanwhile, at the rest area of ​​the Shinsei LiveHouse in Shimokitazawa.

Ijichi Hoshika, Nijika, Shimizu Eliza, Yamada Ryo, and Hiroi Kikuri, who came to visit, were sitting together chatting.

"Look at this!" Hongxia exclaimed suddenly while scrolling through her phone, then projected the news content onto the large screen on the wall.

The impactful headline was projected.

The entire lounge fell silent instantly.

"Simultaneously...producing variety shows and TV dramas?" Xingge's mouth gaped open, her expression one of disbelief.

"Tsk tsk, he's just like a demon king in a story, about to conquer the world!" Miss Pa said with a grin.

Yamada Ryo put down his bass and stroked his chin: "Hmm, another project, film and television and variety show theme songs... perfect for Nijika and me to practice on."

"Hiccup..." Hiroi Kikuri hiccuped, mumbling, "This guy... he's even more troublesome than me... he's got potential... next time I see him, I'll definitely make him treat me to even more expensive drinks!"

Eliza Shimizu stared at the screen, stunned for a long time, before muttering to herself in frustration: 'This bastard is getting more and more powerful. When will I be able to escape his clutches?'

……

……

Unlike the hustle and bustle outside, the atmosphere inside the headquarters of the traditional television alliance was oppressive.
