Tokyo Agent: Starting with Picking Up a Problem Girl

Chapter 105 Drug Dependence

"There's no need to wait outside; you can come in too."

Yu Shiraishi glanced at the surveillance-chan.

I saw this woman before; she was standing outside the door the whole time.

Upon hearing this, Surveillance Sauce stopped being polite and stepped inside.

The house had been deliberately tidied up, and the other party was friendly yet wary.

But medicine bottles and jars are still everywhere.

It seems that Shiraishi Yu has become accustomed to bringing this matter to the forefront and treating it as part of his life.

Let's get straight to the point.

Hiroshi Nakajima pulled out the business plan.

"I have prepared a detailed plan regarding this cooperation opportunity, and I am sure you will feel my sincerity."

Bai Shiyou did not comment.

He simply took it and examined it closely.

"Mr. Nakajima, please give me some time."

"I prefer to read it myself first, so that when we communicate, I won't be completely led by you."

A very honest reason.

"No problem. If there's anything I haven't explained clearly, just ask me anytime."

"it is good."

Shiraishi nodded in agreement.

But he quickly added, "The solution is very practical; even I can understand it."

"It seems there's some possibility of it being implemented, but it's not very likely."

Shiraishi Yu looked at another document in Nakajima Hiro's hand, which also had his name written on it.

"This one is..."

"Other alternatives."

Nakajima Hiroshi said truthfully.

"Our preferred solution revolves around the defamation you have suffered, but if that's not acceptable, I have other options ready."

"Of course, the start will be a bit slow."

"No need. My scandals have become commonplace, so I don't care if they get sensationalized."

Shiraishi Yu's tone was too flat, as if he were talking about someone else's business.

But the fingertips were still slightly curled.

as well as……

"Compared to this... I probably don't have that kind of value."

She has a very clear understanding of her career as an artist.

"What is mentioned above relies heavily on luck when it comes to leveraging public attention."

"Even the high probability of failure should not be a sufficient reason for an agent to take action."

"Could you explain the reason behind this?"

"My first artist under my management made a successful debut. She has initial popularity, but taking on commercial performances is very risky, and she urgently needs a team to support her."

Nakajima Hiroshi paused for a moment, then urgently spoke.

"Of course, I think this is also an opportunity for you. If you are willing to cooperate, the first priority for these business deals will definitely be to you."

"This won't last long."

Yu Shiraishi put down the file: "A newcomer's sudden rise to fame is also a low-probability event, and it cannot be included in an artist's development plan."

Ok……

Women who have been through the ordeal of being new recruits are indeed not easy to fool.

"If this proposal is followed, my guarantee will be the cooperation opportunities during the agreement period, as well as the base salary for acting roles."

"Also... are you sure you don't want to sign a non-compete agreement?"

"It's just a temporary suspension of the signing."

Hiroshi Nakajima emphasized, "I believe you are not willing to engage in a strongly binding cooperation with us right now."

"But if we happen to succeed, according to this clause, you won't be able to refuse the first job offer that follows."

"Here, for a period of three years."

Nakajima Hiro wanted to point out the specific terms to Shiraishi Yu, but found that the other's finger was already there waiting for him.

So slender it's almost frail.

"You read very carefully."

Shiraishi Yu smiled politely: "After all, we have a stake in this."

moment.

"What are the specific standards for its production?"

"Quarterly profit levels, focusing on trending topics, or...?"

"Of course, it's income."

Hiroshi Nakajima spoke again: "Our first contract is only for one quarter."

"And there are almost no restrictions; you can still do your own things besides performing."

"But if we can provide stable business opportunities this quarter, and your average revenue per game can outperform your debut and show an upward curve, then you can't refuse the next contract."

"Outperforming the debut performance" refers to the profit situation of a newly established company in its first quarter after disclosure of its objectives.

This places Shiraishi Yu in a position that has just completed its disclosure.

Strictly speaking, she didn't play a significant role in this matter; the success or failure depended more on the operation of the postgraduate entrance examination team.

After all, an artist's performance level is unlikely to experience explosive growth.

She only needs to handle the performance itself, while Nakajima Hiro has many other things to consider.

As for the data showing an upward curve...

Let's not tie each other down; if things can't be resolved by breaking up, that's a pretty practical approach.

"If this level of compensation is maintained, the salary your company is offering me is excessive. Can you explain this to your boss?"

"Or to put it another way..."

"What if they suddenly change their minds?"

Even for artists who achieve great success in their public appearances and generate their own buzz, most companies won't guarantee them a minimum of 150,000 yen.

People usually only analyze artists' income in terms of bonuses and dividends.

Before the contract expires, they desperately squeeze out all the hype surrounding the artist's debut.

Even if the disclosure purpose is approved, the probability of a complete collapse is still very high.

Only those artists whose careers are skyrocketing, based on negotiations for the next contract and emotional blackmail, will have their teams infiltrate the market before the contract expires.

"It's not a big problem."

Nakajima Hiroshi shrugged: "After all, we're asking you to put out a fire, which is a completely different matter from simply hiring you."

"You flatter me."

Yu Shiraishi shook her head. She still thought the agreement was not mature enough and was just a desperate novice agent grasping at straws.

But Nakajima Hiroshi was calculating something else entirely.

He is capable of sharing the knowledge of artists; Shiraishi Yu's talent alone is worth more than this price.

There's no question of whether or not the team should be given the money. If things don't work out, he'll just have to pay it himself, considering it tuition.

Besides, this place is called Nakajima's Office after all, and he's the one who takes the lion's share.

"The proposal is open to discussion."

Yu Shiraishi looked at the remaining documents.

"Out of respect for your work, would you like to leave the remaining materials to me?"

"Or should we elaborate on this one document?"

"Let's take a comprehensive look. Perhaps in our actual operation, the different plans are being implemented in parallel."

"it is good."

Yu Shiraishi reads each page.

If these programs are implemented in parallel, then within these three months, she will almost certainly be being cultivated as a potential artist.

Regardless of success or failure, she herself will not lose out.

"During the collaboration, I won't stop working on the negative rumors. Is that okay?"

She still asked one question.

"As you probably know, if you disappear for three months, it's very difficult to pick it up again."

"As long as it doesn't affect the performance, it's fine."

Hiroshi Nakajima shrugged: "And given the pace of these plans, we will also be working on controversies around them, and there's a possibility of collaboration."

"clear."

"I haven't practiced dancing for a long time, so it may take some time to get back into the swing of things."

"in addition……"

She pointed to the numerous medicine bottles in the room: "I'm very dependent on them."

"My mood would be very low after taking the medication, but for stability reasons, I had to take it before going on stage."

"Please take a look at the side effects listed above and then decide whether you need to reconsider."

This woman has put all the problems out in the open.

She wasn't particularly keen on cooperating; she simply didn't resist after all.

Because the obedience score was always 0, he didn't move an inch.

This did not escape Nakajima Hiroshi's notice.

But this obedience rating wasn't directed at her personally; Nakajima Hiro didn't consider herself that disliked, she was just...

I'm disappointed with the entertainment industry itself.

Despite appearing quite strong, she had long since lost faith in the stage and the audience.

They no longer even believe in the future.
