Hollywood starts with a broker

After the main creators of "Bram Stoker's Dracula" left Japan, Aaron stayed behind because he was going to set up a Japanese branch of Dawn International Pictures in Tokyo, Osaka, and other places.

This branch would be specifically responsible for the screening of Dawn's movies in Japanese cinemas, the rental and sale of videotapes, and the resale rights to television stations!

Assistant Aislinn Beckett also came to Japan with Aaron to assist in the establishment of the branch.

"'Indecent Proposal' grossed 1.3 billion yen in Japan, which is not bad."

In the suite of the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, Aaron sat on the sofa, flipping through the information in his hand.

"Boss, we are going to cooperate with Tokuma Shoten here. We have an appointment with Yasuyoshi Tokuma tonight for dinner!"

Tokuma Shoten Group is a large entertainment company group centered on music and video software, including Tokuma Japan Communications, Daiei Film Co., Ltd. (film business), Studio Ghibli (animation), Tokuma Shoten Intermedia (games and personal computers), and Tokuma Press Center (newspaper printing).

Previously, the Chinese film "Ju Dou" was funded and filmed by Zhang Yimou through Tokuma Shoten!

"Studio Ghibli, the animation master Hayao Miyazaki's 'Porco Rosso' made 2.8 billion yen at the Japanese box office this year, making it the annual box office champion in Japan!"

Currently, the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Japanese yen is about 1:120, so 2.8 billion yen is more than 23 million US dollars, which is really not a small amount.

In the evening, Yasuyoshi Tokuma, the founder of Tokuma Shoten, hosted Aaron Anderson at the Hotel Okura Tokyo.

As a luxury hotel newly built in Japan in the 1960s, the Hotel Okura Tokyo has no traces of European or American architecture and is a Japanese-style hotel built entirely according to Japanese characteristics.

Yasuyoshi Tokuma was already over seventy years old and began serving as the chairman of the Tokyo International Film Festival last year!

During the dinner, Yasuyoshi Tokuma saw Aaron's young appearance and couldn't help but sigh, "Mr. Anderson is indeed young and promising."

Dawn Pictures, a new type of film company, has launched blockbuster works for several consecutive years, breaking through the siege among several large Hollywood film companies, which is not easy.

Aaron smiled and said, "Yesterday, I watched an epic blockbuster, it was really well made!"

"Oh, which movie is it?"

"'Dunhuang'!"

"Dunhuang" was a war history blockbuster that Tokuma Shoten spent 4.5 billion yen on filming in China a few years ago.

"'Dunhuang', ah, I also like it very much. There is too much Chinese culture and history worth studying."

Yasuyoshi Tokuma didn't know Aaron Anderson's understanding of Chinese culture, and it seemed very casual when he said it.

Aaron didn't continue, but directly talked about business, "Dawn is growing stronger in Hollywood, and the international market is currently our focus. Japan, as the second largest consumer market in the world, I value it very much;"

"Therefore, it is urgent to set up a Dawn branch in Japan to be responsible for the distribution of film and television works!"

Yasuyoshi Tokuma nodded, "Daiei has its own cinema operations and is fully capable of distributing Dawn's works in Japan for marketing and distribution."

Now the Japanese film industry is sluggish, and only the developed animation business has some competitiveness, while Hollywood and Hong Kong are competing for the Asian film market, and Japan is the most important piece.

Yasuyoshi Tokuma didn't find it strange that Hollywood valued the Japanese market.

After a while, a sexy and beautiful woman came to Aaron's side, specially responsible for pouring wine, because this woman had a delicate figure and exquisite features, Aaron curiously glanced at her!

Yasuyoshi Tokuma smiled and said, "This is the champion of this year's national beauty pageant in Japan, that is, this year's Miss Japan, named Norika Fujiwara, about the same age as you, Aaron."

"Norika Fujiwara?" No wonder, Aaron thought for a moment, then raised his glass and drank with Yasuyoshi Tokuma.

Afterwards, Aaron put his arm around Norika Fujiwara and chatted with Yasuyoshi Tokuma about the current Japanese film industry and the scope of Asia and the world.

As for Dawn setting up an office in Japan to be responsible for film distribution, now that there is a local partner like Tokuma Shoten, it will definitely be very fast.

The dinner was a pleasant one for both the host and the guest…

After enjoying dinner, Aaron specially went to experience the indoor hot spring at the Hotel Okura, while Norika Fujiwara walked in with drinks.

A good figure of 34E is indeed tempting, and she came to the pool to scrub Aaron's back.

"Are you in the entertainment industry?" Aaron leaned on the edge of the pool, took a sip of wine, and asked the girl beside him.

Although Norika Fujiwara's English is not fluent, she can still say some, "Yes, I signed a model contract with Tokuma Shoten, and now I mainly shoot magazines and GG's business!"

Aaron turned around, put his arm around the plump mature woman, and kissed her on the face, "I need a guide these few days, you can stay with me for a while;"

"When the time comes, I will let Tokuma Shoten give you a role and let you make your debut smoothly!"

Norika Fujiwara smiled and clung tightly to the man's chest, "I am willing."

Japan's entertainment industry is developed, but the competition is also extremely fierce. Norika Fujiwara was born in a beauty pageant, but she doesn't have any other resources.

"Very good, I want to go to a hot spring tomorrow, you are responsible for arranging it!"

Without a single mistake, a first, a first, an inner, a capacity, a one, a look, a look!

Norika Fujiwara thought for a while and suggested: "Let's go to Hakone, it's not far from Tokyo, the hot springs are very famous, and the environment is quiet and the scenery is beautiful."

Aaron nodded, "By the way, I may have to go to China in a few days, you also prepare to go with me then;"

"After that, I will stay in Hong Kong for a period of time until Christmas, right?"

This year's Hong Kong films are exceptionally popular, which can be regarded as the peak year, but Aaron knows that the parabola of Hong Kong films has reached its highest point;

Next, the Taipei market will collapse, and Hollywood will launch the special effects blockbuster "Jurassic Park", which will greatly hit Hong Kong films!

The Japanese and Korean markets have always been the back garden of Hong Kong films, and many Hong Kong stars have extremely high popularity in Japan and South Korea.

For example, Jackie Chan currently has higher popularity in Japan than Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone.

Norika Fujiwara took the initiative to kiss Aaron on the face, "Yes, I'll listen to you."

Of course, Norika Fujiwara would not have any objections. She just won the Miss Japan title this year and was able to meet a Hollywood billionaire. This is a rare opportunity for her!

"Mmm," Aaron directly hugged the plump and sexy Norika Fujiwara and kissed her, extremely hot, and the girl also hugged the man tightly and responded enthusiastically.

Aaron really didn't expect that Yasuyoshi Tokuma would be so lucky to directly introduce Norika Fujiwara, who had just turned 21;

Or is it Norika Fujiwara who just won Miss Japan?

Not long after, Aaron hugged Norika Fujiwara and returned to the suite!
