By the third day, the Tokyo Sports News could no longer bear it and sent someone to negotiate a settlement with Shuyou.
The middleman told Sugiyama Toshihiko that they wanted to settle the case with a compensation of 10 million. As for the other demands, apologizing for a week would be suicide for the media, and it would definitely not work.
The middleman also hinted that it was not impossible to fire the reporter, but it had to wait until the storm was over, otherwise the newspaper would not be able to survive in the entertainment industry.
"Tell them we won't reconcile!"
Yoshimura Otomo said to Sugiyama Toshihiko from the Publicity Department,
"If our demands are not met, we will file a formal lawsuit."
"Otomo-san, the previous terms were indeed a bit harsh," said Sugiyama Toshihiko. "If we follow that, this newspaper will definitely go bankrupt. Even if it's a court, the compensation will not be much higher than 1 million."
"Well, this isn't about the settlement money!"
Seeing that there was no third person here, Yoshimura Otomo directly explained:
"Sugiyama-kun, find some connections and quickly file a case. It would be best if the first public trial could be held within 20 days. Naoki-san wants to use this incident as an excuse to keep himself in the headlines before Christmas!"
After receiving the indictment, the court in Japan will generally open the trial within one month for simple cases, but will definitely postpone the trial for complex cases.
"Hey, I understand!" Sugiyama Zhiyan understood it all at once. "Among all this, we will submit the indictment and set the date for the public trial. It will most likely be held a few days before Christmas. I will let the media report every step!"
"now it's right!"
Yoshimura Otomo nodded with satisfaction.
"In the meantime, the editing progress of "Ghost" has been completed!"
"Hi!"
"."
In this office, Yoshimura Otomo also discussed many details of leveraging publicity with Sugiyama Toshihiko, and then came to Naoki Nagayama's office.
I happened to see Naoki Nagayama looking very leisurely, and Ge You lying on the sofa in the office, basking in the sun with his eyes closed!
"Naoki-san, please pay attention to your image! After all, you are still the number one tree friend."
Yoshimura Otomo felt as if he saw his adolescent son, Yoshimura Keishi, who was also lying on the tatami when resting.
"This is my office anyway! It would be pathetic if I can't be more casual in my own office~"
"Besides, the sun is shining brightly today. It would be a shame not to bask in the sun!"
"." Yoshimura Otomo was confused by this statement and paused before sitting on the sofa next to him. "Sugiyama-kun came over just now, and the Tokyo Sports News came to ask for peace~"
"Haha, asking for peace?" Naoki Nagayama sat up. "They started the war, but it's not their turn to decide when it ends~"
"Do you think someone behind this has admitted defeat?"
"It was such a sudden incident. I think the guy behind it was probably just acting on impulse and didn't even think it through himself~" Naoki Nagayama said, "But forget about him, we just need to do our own thing!"
"Has the news of the completion of the editing of Ghost been publicized?"
"Sugiyama-kun will arrange it."
"Yeah. There's one more thing!" Nagayama Naoki looked at Yoshimura Otomo and said, "Before, I didn't want to hold a preview and release the movie directly, but this happened so suddenly and coincidentally that I changed my mind."
"??? You want to hold another preview?!"
Yoshimura Otomo looked at Nagayama Naoki speechlessly. This guy changes so quickly. He is so hard to please!
"Well, let's hold a preview." Naoki Nagayama said, "It's another opportunity to promote it. We can also announce the results at the press conference and make good use of this wave of popularity."
"Hey, I'll ask Watanabe Eiichiro to arrange it," Yoshimura Otomo sighed, "Just five days before the Christmas release, right?"
"Well, when I go to court for the public trial, I will accept an interview, play my pity, accuse the false news of harming my life, and say that I still insist on editing the movie for everyone under such circumstances. I will also let everyone shift their attention to the movie.
The box office will definitely increase significantly at the premiere!"
".Uh, is it useful~"
"Of course, it's normal to beg for votes by playing the victim!!!"
You can see which director doesn’t talk about how hard the filming was and how hard the actors worked before the movie is released. So it must be useful!"
"."Yoshimura Otomo stopped talking.
"What happened to Otomo-san?"
“I always feel like you’re playing tricks on the people.”
"I'm suing you for defamation!"
While the outside world was going through ups and downs and Naoki Nagayama was planning his next move, Akina Nakamori, as the protagonist's wife, had originally not intended to be interviewed.
However, at the Japan Record Awards preliminaries, I was still blocked by the interview team who found a way to get in.
The melody of "Passion" sounded, and Akina Nakamori danced vigorously on the stage in a hip-hop kimono. Her image in the stage costume with a bob haircut was still amazing even at the end of the year.
After the performance, Akina walked backstage to applause and headed towards the dressing room.
"Akina-san, what do you think of the hot topics these days?" "Akina, do you know whose child Naoki Nagayama was waiting for that day?" "Akina Nakamori, is your relationship with Naoki Nagayama still stable?" "."
"We are all fine! Thank you for your concern!"
Akina Nakamori only said this and was about to leave.
Fortunately, there were only a few reporters, and Ueda Maki was able to stop them.
She opened her arms to stop the reporters and told Akina to go to the dressing room quickly, saying:
"I will not accept any other interviews! Akina-chan is concentrating on preparing for the performance at the Japan Record Awards. If you have any questions, please ask through the agency."
Akina Nakamori, who was wearing her stage costume, quickly walked into the dressing room with a stern face, which made the reporters who were interviewing her nervous. It seemed that something had really happened, otherwise the usually gentle Akina Nakamori would not be so cold to the media.
When Ueda Maki came in, Nakamori Akina rubbed her face and her expression became more vivid:
"Naoki-san, why do you want me to be so vague? It's so troublesome~"
"Didn't we say that we should leave room for everyone to speculate so that the topic can continue to be discussed~" Ueda Maki naturally knew the truth, "The truth will definitely be revealed before the movie is released, just like the gossips of previous movies."
"Oh~~~"
Akina Nakamori sighed. As a top idol who has been working in the entertainment industry for so long, she certainly knows how to increase topics and exposure.
If she can continue to appear in the headlines of the media before the end of the year, her popularity will far exceed that of other idol artists, which will be very beneficial for her to compete for awards at the Japan Record Awards.
It also helps with the sales of records.
"It's just that Naoki-san has been misunderstood a lot!"
In this topic, Naoki Nagayama is undoubtedly the one who is criticized by public opinion. But fortunately, as long as the truth is finally revealed, everything can be turned from negative to positive.
"Akina-chan, you don't have to worry about Naoki-san!" Ueda Maki comforted her idol, "Naoki-san must have a plan for asking you to do this!"
"Hmm~"
Just as Akina Nakamori nodded, someone suddenly knocked on the door of her exclusive dressing room.
Then I noticed Yukiko Okada walked in, and looked around very alertly to see if there were any other people:
"Akina sauce"
"Ah, it's Yukiko-chan!" Akina Nakamori greeted with a smile, "You're here too! I didn't see you during the performance when I was talking about it."
"I'm at the back of the queue, so it doesn't matter if I'm late."
At the end of the year, Yukiko Okada's schedule is now almost calculated in hours. She has many schedules to participate in every day. For example, after the performance in the Japan Record Awards preliminaries, she will immediately participate in the recording of the New Year Talent Show.
Anyway, it's not as easy as Akina Nakamori~
"I've been very busy lately, so I'll teach you a trick. When you're catching up on sleep in the car, you can drink a little wine and then you'll be groggy and won't get carsick!"
"You got yourself drunk!"
Yukiko Okada made a subconscious complaint, then shook her head and returned to the topic.
"Akina-chan, is it true that Naoki-san has an illegitimate child as reported in the news?"
"Ah, Yukiko-chan knows too~" Seeing the young Yukiko, Akina Nakamori suddenly wanted to be treacherous, with a sad expression on her face, "Alas, men, when they are in love, they promise everything, but afterwards, the truth is revealed!"
"Nani?! Is it true?!"
Yukiko Okada's face suddenly turned red.
"I was saying that Naoki Nagayama is a playboy just by looking at his face! He actually cheated on two women at the same time? How abominable!"
"I thought he might be a good man!"
"When did you cheat?"
"If the illegitimate child was born, then it must have been when Akina-chan was pregnant?! Three months?"
"Oh my god, right when Akina is pregnant and can't have sex! Can't you even hold back for a while?!"
"^%&%^$*%^*^"
Akina Nakamori looked at the quiet Yukiko Okada in surprise and spit out Japanese swear words. She felt as if she had accidentally lit a firecracker. It seems that Yukiko has accumulated a lot of pressure in the entertainment industry!
"This. Yukiko-chan."
"Nani?!"
Yukiko Okada looked at Akina Nakamori indignantly.
"If Mingcai-chan wants a divorce, I will definitely stand by you!"
"."
If I say that I was just lying at this time, will the dirty talk be directed at me? !
But, I have to say it, otherwise Naoki-san would really have his reputation ruined by himself!
She turned to look at Ueda Maki who was also shocked, and winked at her, asking her to explain. Ueda Maki also received the signal, sighed, and walked to Okada Yukiko's ear and whispered an explanation.
I saw that Yukiko Okada's originally watery eyes opened even wider!
Then he looked at Mingcai, who was looking at the makeup mirror with a guilty look in his eyes, with an incredulous look. Mingcai-chan, you actually lied to me? !
"Akina sauce"
"Ahem. Yukiko-chan, I was a little slow just now. Ahaha~" Akina laughed, trying to fool her, "Actually, Naoki-san's schedule has been reported."
Is this some weird play between you and Naoki Nagayama?!
And included me too?!
Yukiko Okada felt like a clown. She just spoke in a burst of indignation and even used swear words!
His face became even redder and he wanted to run out of the door!
I never want to look at Akina Nakamori's pretty face again!
"Akidou Madai~~Akidou Madai!" Akina quickly took Okada Yukiko's arm, asked her to sit down, and apologized with her hands clasped together, "Gou Menasai, I just wanted to make a joke on impulse."
"Akina-chan, how could you do this!!!"
"It's all my fault!"
"you"
The apology was too quick, and Yukiko Okada was so angry that she didn't know where to vent it.
"Yukiko-chan, this venting doll is for you." Akina handed over an ugly stuffed doll and asked Yukiko to play with it. "I called him Hate-kun. If there is any anger, let him bear it!"
"."
Okada Yukiko took it over with hatred and ravaged it fiercely, which made Akina shudder.
It looks like Yukiko-chan is really under a lot of pressure lately!
"Then why don't you issue a statement to explain?" After a while, Okada Yukiko continued to ask, "The news that is spreading outside now may be true. The news has nose and eyes!"
"Naoki-san doesn't want to be held hostage by the media's rumors," Akina explained. "He wants to sue directly. After he wins, other media outlets will have to think twice before reporting on the news!"
As for taking advantage of the opportunity to promote the movie, that is another aspect.
"That's it"
Yukiko Okada suddenly thought of the rumor that she was in a relationship with someone from the Shonentai not long ago. If she also filed a lawsuit, maybe the media would not dare to spread rumors about her!
After thinking about it, I shook my head again. I can't do it. I'm an idol and I need popularity.
"What if someone asks me?"
"Just say you don't understand or know."
Mingcai said,
"Let Naoki-san handle this matter!"
"Hi"
After this matter was discussed, Yukiko Okada began to chat with Akina about other things at the end of the year. Akina has a good chance of winning the grand prize at the Japan Record Awards which is currently taking place at the end of this year.
With this wave of popularity, there will definitely be more hope!
There is also the Red and White Song Contest
"Red and White Song Contest, Akina has already been to the first rehearsal, right?"
"Hi"
"The second rehearsal was a week before New Year's Eve," Okada Yukiko calculated, "just before Christmas! Akina's movie is coming out."
"Yeah. It seems like all the time points have converged!"
“It’s really busy at the end of this year.”
"Isn't that right~"
At the Tokyo Sports News headquarters, editor-in-chief Junichi Imamura was smoking in his office, the smoke surrounding him concealing the helplessness on his face.
How did it become like this?! I just wanted to grab a spot of attention and flatter someone.
Didn't they often fabricate gossips about other celebrities before? Why was Naoki Nagayama so excited this time? !
Could it be that his own newspaper really hit his sore spot? !
Shouldn't he have come to the newspaper to negotiate and suppress the news? Why didn't he settle the matter but sued?
The Tokyo Sports News contacted a middleman to discuss a settlement. This was not his original intention, but the decision of the newspaper's financial backers. Junichi Imamura agrees with "freedom of the press and innocence of speech."
A free, safe and independent media is the foundation of peace and democracy. Violating press freedom is a violation of international law, a violation of humanity, and a violation of freedom itself! This is the attitude of the United Nations!
Besides, it is impossible for him to fire the reporter. If he fires the reporter in question, then no one in the editorial department will listen to him in the future!
However, the financial backers behind the newspaper want to make money.
"Alas," Imamura put out his cigarette and called again, "Kurita-san, it was because of you that I offended Naoki Nagayama."
Kurita Kenki of the Cultural Affairs Bureau quickly shook his head:
"That's when you said you had caught him. That's why I supported you!"
Kurita Kenki is competing with Kiba Sadanaga for the position of vice-minister. He tried to drive a wedge between Naoki Nagayama and Kiba Sadanaga at the Tokyo International Film Festival, but failed, and instead brought the two closer.
After the diplomatic banquet, people thought that Naoki Nagayama was a member of Kiba Sadanaga's group, so they subconsciously wanted to suppress him.
In fact, when he learned about the news, he was drinking with Nobuo Asai and made the decision in the heat of the moment.
"But Shuyou Group does not want to settle and insists on suing."
"Then just respond to the lawsuit! Anyway, the sentence for such explosive news won't be too severe."
"But if we lose, Tokyo Sports will lose face!"
"It doesn't matter. What's the point of saving face? I can just bow and apologize when the time comes."
"."
That makes perfect sense!
"Anyway, we can't let Shuyou know that I'm behind this!" Kurita Kenki said, "Imura-san, you understand, right?!"
Junichi Imamura was helpless. Isn't this just making himself take the blame?
".Hi!"
"That's right," Kurita Kenki said in a more relaxed tone, "I'll make it up to you later. There's a chance I can get exclusive interview rights for next year's large-scale cultural exchange event."
"Thank you."
Although Junichi Imamura was very unwilling, he still expressed his gratitude. After all, he would still have to rely on Kenki Kurita to get exclusive news in the future.
The Department of Culture is the department responsible for cultural affairs and religious exchanges in Neon. In Neon, a country that values traditional culture and where eight million gods are prevalent, cultural activities are an important part of the news media.
In the "Journalists Club", the official intermediary organization that jointly manages the media, the Ministry of Culture still has very great power.
Moreover, in the days when the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology was still called the Ministry of Education and Sports, and the Sports Agency had not yet been established, the cultural promotion of many sports activities was also managed by the Culture Agency.
It was through the relationship between the Minister of Culture, Kurita Kenki, that Junichi Imamura secured his position as the editor-in-chief of Tokyo Sports. It was also because of this that he wanted to flatter Naoki Nagayama.
But he didn't expect that when something went wrong, he would be the one to take the blame. The newspaper's board of directors would definitely hold Junichi Imamura responsible!
It is unlikely that you will be fired, but there will definitely be punishment, and the bonus will definitely be reduced significantly!
It's the first day of the month, and I've already written 5,000 words! My hands are sore from writing! I'm begging for monthly votes!
