The Stand in the Everyday World

Such a "low" share, if exposed in China, it would definitely cause an uproar in some suit industry, but in Sakurajima, an idol group will only give you 1% in the end, and it's considered a personal gain for the company. Do you really think that idols are the bottom of the entertainment industry and Sakurajima is a capitalist country? Capitalists want to eat meat!

Even if you are the actual producer, how can we possibly give you the lion's share?

Do you know how much the highest-earning Sakurajima idol makes in a year?

4300 million yen, this is the data for 2016.

4500 million yen, this is the data for 2015.

Converted into RMB, the annual income is more than 2 million but less than 3 million, which is about the same as Zheng Shuang's daily salary. Any star who has just debuted can get more money than this.

This is the entertainment industry in Sakurajima. Being an idol is just an ordinary job. It is even more tiring and precarious. Apart from being glamorous on the surface, there is really no benefit. Especially for those low-level idols, those who can persist are all true love.

Of course, generally speaking, Sakurajima's entertainment industry is more personal than that of the Universe Country. The entertainment industry of the Universe Country is completely inhumane, and they would kneel down and beg you for some capitalist things.

So in the original work, the few people who graduated from Muse were confused about the future and didn't know whether to continue being idols or not. It's not surprising that Honoka and Muse disbanded in the end. It is indeed a bit outrageous to ask the eldest daughter of the Nishikino family and Kotori to give up inheriting the family business to become idols.

104. Honoka, What an Idiot and a Big Plan

"I'm more worried about your mental state than the profits."

Sonoda Umi didn't care about the share of the profits at all. She became a school idol with Honoka only because she couldn't resist her coquetry. She didn't think about making money at all and the concept of making money didn't even exist in her mind.

Fujii Shunsuke was impatient: "Just tell me whether you will sign or not."

"If you're not lying, I'll definitely sign it."

"I have so many resources at my disposal. The number one girl on LoveLive, Yume Yume, is begging me to get in touch with her. Why would I lie to you?"

As Shunsuke Fujii spoke, he handed over a photo of himself and Yume Mimi on his phone. Yume Mimi's enthusiasm was visibly evident in the photo.

For Yume Yumemi who wanted to transform from an idol to an actress, Fujii Shunsuke didn't need to gamble with her. He just talked about his relationship with Sakurajima Mai and promised to help her when she finished high school and prepared to transform. She happily offered her resources and trusted people in the entertainment industry.

If Mai Sakurajima wasn't so high-class, she even wanted to form an idol team with Mai Sakurajima as a supporting role and debut together.

"Really."

The three smiling faces of the sea, land and air trio leaned over the phone, no longer so skeptical.

Compared to Mai Sakurajima, a big star who is far away in the sky, Yume Yume, an idol who is well-known but can see the gap, is more convincing to them.

"So, girls, come and sign a contract with me."

Honoka's body trembled involuntarily: "Shunsuke, your tone is so evil, I feel like you are thinking something bad."

"That's probably because you're an idiot, Honoka."

"What? I don't understand at all!"

"Forget it if you don't understand."

Shunsuke Fujii also doesn't want to popularize memes, as that would make him look stupid.

"Come on, sign the contract now."

Shunsuke Fujii took out three contracts from his bag.

"Does the vice president want to sign too?" Honoka directly took over the contract, flipped through it twice and signed her name.

As expected of the stupid Honoka, she totally missed the point. Isn't the point that there are three contracts in the bag that are obviously waiting for her?

If you sign without even reading the terms, be careful that you will end up being sent to Africa. (Don’t learn this.)

After handing the contract to Haiye and Xiaoniao, Fujii Shunsuke glanced at Tojo Nozomi and said, "She doesn't need it for now. Wait until she joins Muse before signing the contract. Also, before your first live, it is forbidden to expand the group members."

Although he wanted to become Muse's agent in order to change Muse's ending, Shunsuke Fujii did not want to interfere in the first rare and precious live of the land, sea and air trio, because it was not an exaggeration to say that this was the beginning of Muse's starting point. If it weren't for Honoka's performance in this live, Eri Ayase and others would not have been so easily persuaded by Honoka to join.

But Tojo Nozomi was a little dissatisfied with Fujii Shunsuke's confident tone. Although I have been secretly supporting these kids from the beginning, your behavior of taking advantage of me makes me very uncomfortable. You are obviously younger than me, but you are so tough.

——I just won’t sign the contract then, let’s see how you beg me.

"By the way, Fujii-san, if you become our agent, what are you going to do?"

"First, we'll make an animation for you guys."

"Animation!?"

"Well, we'll use animation to promote you and make you famous first, and then animation comics, novels, music, mobile games... forget about mobile games, and we'll also arrange live-action dramas and peripheral products. This is a large-scale project, and the small goal is to make you the most famous person in Sakurajima within a year."

"One year? Is that enough time?"

"This is what I, as an agent, should worry about. What you should do is to work hard to improve yourself!"

"Yes!" X 3

Fujii Shunsuke's sudden toughness made the three of them stand at attention.

"Okay, very energetic."

The second-year big brother Shunsuke Fujii was very satisfied.

"Okay, that's all for today. You guys continue practicing."

After taking back the contract and putting it back in the schoolbag, he asked Honoka and the other two to continue running up the stairs to exercise their physical strength. Fujii Shunsuke looked at Tojo Nozomi and said, "Miss Tojo, during this period of time, could you please record all the scenes of Honoka and the other two's daily life exercises and practice at school?"

"What do you want to do?"

“This could be used as material for a live-action drama.”

In the previous life, there was a saying in the two-dimensional world that "it has been adapted into a real person", but now it is the real person playing the role in the two-dimensional animation made by himself in the three-dimensional world. What do you call this? It means that it is a sure thing.

Failure? Not possible.

Trouble? Not at all.

What matters is a combination of stability and speed, and speed and stability.

However, Tojo Nozomi refused: "This shouldn't be your job as an agent. I personally don't know much about photography."

"As an agent, I am responsible for overall management. If I have to do even this kind of thing myself, I will forget about doing anything else."

——Like meeting new girls or something.

"How about hiring a photographer?"

"No, I don't want Guoguo and Xiaoniao to be filmed by strange men with cameras all day long. It's disgusting just thinking about it." Fujii Shunsuke flatly refused.

"......Then you can try hiring a female photographer."

Tojo Nozomi's squinting little devil expression can hardly hold back her expression. Your map of Yan State is too short!

——Is it really okay to leave my cute junior to this person?

——No, no, no, he is targeting the entire Muse, so should I still join Muse in the future? It seems that it will be very dangerous if I join.

“…Yes.”

Shunsuke Fujii supported his chin and nodded slowly, feeling that his previous thinking had been stuck in a dead end, mainly because when he thought of photographers he thought of the fat otakus at the comic conventions, but if you think about it carefully, didn't Kaguya become a photographer later on?

Just go find her yourself.

Kidding.

Shunsuke Fujii naturally didn't know what Nozomi Tojo was thinking, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care. If Honoka couldn't bring Nozomi Tojo into Muse because of this difficulty, then she would cry about her title as the leader of a pyramid scheme.

Shunsuke Fujii was immersed in his future plans: comics could be drawn by Star Platinum, novels could be written by Star Platinum, and music could be composed by Star Platinum, but when it comes to finding companies to produce animations and release peripheral products, he would have to trouble Momobami Kirari. He could use her name to pressure those animation companies not to treat him as a rich sucker, so he might as well ask her to help find a photographer.

After all, this woman is really useful and a convenient woman.

Perhaps Shunsuke Fujii is the only person in the world who dares to look at Momobami Kirari in this way.

But if he wanted to make an animation, he would really need her help. Otherwise, he would have to find an animation company himself. Even if he had thirty... now twenty billion, and used the money to acquire a publishing house, he would still be treated as a sucker, and the final product would still be a piece of shit.

This is a bloody lesson learned by a certain barrage website in China.

105. The wasteful Yomizuki Luna and the savoring Momobami Kirari

In the past, capital represented by a certain barrage website wanted to work with the Sakurajima industry to produce animations, but they were cheated every time. This is the result of rich outsiders stepping into a world they are not familiar with, and it is tuition that must be paid.

Even if you are from Sakurajima, if you don't set up a special animation production committee but come to the door yourself, you will be taken advantage of. And the company may not necessarily want to rip you off, but you have crossed the line. If you have money but don't share it with everyone and don't set up a production committee to share it all, then naturally you, an outsider, will be punished to let you know the rules.

Even if you have accomplished all of the above, there is still the last and most difficult step, which is to make an excellent animation, which requires the "love" of the production team.

Love may sound like an illusory word, but in animation production, or in all arts - animation, novels, movies, dramas... If you want to produce the best works, you must have "love"!

Just like "Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World" and "Kaguya-sama: Love is War", the production team's love for the original work is almost overflowing from the animation. Not to mention showing the charm of the original work 100%, they are working towards 120%, wishing that every minute and every second would let the audience feel the charm of the original work, and naturally the reviews were rave reviews in the end;

The negative example is naturally the famous "Date A Live". As one of the top IPs in the Sakurajima light novel industry, the production team that chose it had no love for it at all. They all wanted to make a small investment for a big return, and produced it with the mentality of "such a big IP, maybe it will become popular". In the end, the production company was changed every season, and their own mother collapsed.

If you want the animation company to do well without "love", in addition to spending money, the most important thing is to have someone behind them forcing them to work hard for you. Don't just think about outsourcing, outsourcing, outsourcing.

So this is why, even if Shunsuke Fujii can get all the scripts, storyboards, music, etc. of the animation with the help of Star Platinum, and only needs to tell the animation company how to produce it, he still has to go to Momobami Kirari.

"So Momobaku A... Momobaku-senpai, I'm going to ask for your help this time as well."

In the student union room of Hundred Kao Academy, Fujii Shunsuke clasped his palms together and swayed left and right, showing no sincerity in his request.

"By the way, Senior Luna isn't here again? Really, I'm not a demon, am I that scary? Every time I come here, she disappears. It hurts my heart to be avoided like this."

"Fujii Shunsuke, is this your way of expressing your gratitude to the president?"

Even though she was afraid that Shunsuke Fujii would ask her to gamble, the secretary could no longer bear it. What did he think of the president? Was she a pathetic woman who gave in to the man she liked without any bottom line?

Dou Shengtian Feng pushed his glasses, and a strange light flashed on the lenses: "President, I don't understand why such a person was allowed to join the student union. He only asks for things but never contributes to the student union. Isn't it better to cancel his membership in the student union?"

"So, little glasses, I think you don't understand at all."

"......What?"

It was the first time that the son of the noble Deputy Minister of Finance was called such an insulting nickname, and his brain was unable to react for a moment.

"You are not what Senior Momobami needs. You set up clear barriers in the student union. This is your territory and that is my territory. We don't invade each other. This will make Senior very bored."

Momobami Kirari didn't say anything, she just crossed her legs and watched quietly with a smile on her lips.

"Now, as a lovely junior, in order to repay the kindness of the senior sister, I have to be the villain. The first thing I have to do is to cut off your wings and disrupt the current situation."

Fujii Shunsuke stood up and walked slowly around the table. Finally, he walked behind Yumemi Yami and put his hand on her shoulder: "Yami-chan, I have high hopes for you. You shouldn't have childish thoughts like 'we are all second-year students so we should help each other' and think of helping the little girl with glasses."

"Hey, Fujii-san, my name is Yumemi." Yumemi forced a smile.

"That's not the point, Mei-chan."

——Call me by my correct name!

I dreamed that Yuya Mei was roaring in her heart.

As mentioned before, Sakurajima people attach great importance to this point. Look at who is not properly called by their name in the animations?

The answer is the great teacher at the beginning.

Do you understand now?

Fujii Shunsuke had intentionally put pressure on Yume Yume because he realized that this girl seemed to have the illusion that they were allies of equal status because of his previous visit to her. This was not acceptable and he had to let her know the hierarchy.

"Although Little Glasses is a sophomore, he may become the new president after Momobami-senpai, and he even often fantasizes about overthrowing her in advance, but I am also a sophomore now. If we compare supporters, he has Little Itsuki, and I have Little Luna."

"Are you attempting rebellion, Fujii Shunsuke?" Igarashi Kiyomi shouted angrily.

"You stray dog ​​from another school, this is not the place for you to speak nonsense." Dou Shengtian Feng was sweating profusely, but he remained calm on the surface. "Even if you want to slander me, at least prepare the evidence for me first."

"Don't worry, little secretary. I won't challenge Momobami-senpai easily."

Fujii Shunsuke said with a smile something that made Igarashi Seika completely worried.

"I still regret that I ate Senior Luna in one gulp last time. It was such a delicious meal, but I didn't savor it carefully and just swallowed it whole. It was such a waste. You know, in this student union, apart from the president and the vice president, Senior Luna is the most delicious."

"And Momobami-senpai is ten or a hundred times more delicious than Luna-chan. She is even a rare delicacy that is hard to find even if you search the entire world. I will not waste it like this. I must savor it slowly, bite by bite."

"Besides, don't I often need Momobaku-senpai's help? Momobaku-senpai has reached the top of the Hyaku-senpai clan at such a young age. Even if her methods are amazing, her position is not very stable. If I defeat her openly again, wouldn't it be troublesome for me? What should I do if Senior is driven down? So Qinghua, don't worry, I won't act rashly."

Igarashi Seika was stunned when she heard this. After a moment's pause, she wanted to yell at him, but Momobami Kirari's laughter interrupted her.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, Junsuke you are really funny."

First she smiled, then chuckled, and finally laughed out loud. Momobami Kirari was extremely happy. She could actually pick up such an interesting person just by casually inspecting the family business. This was truly fate.
