Tokyo Literature and Art Times

"Yeah! That's great!"

"Sister Mingcai is really beautiful!"

"Hey, don't shout like that! In the end they couldn't hear what they said!"

"What else are you listening to! I've seen it all! By the way, I heard that because of the filming of the movie, I really want to go to Italy to taste the most authentic pasta."

"Really? I'm so envious..."

A group of little girls cheered at the TV screen. It turned out that they were just watching a TV series.

They are Xiao Ren and classmates.

The TV series just now is "Nakamori Akina's Italian Macaroni Love Story" starred by Sister Akina.

The name... is obviously due to Ming Cai's super popularity, but it was a success anyway.

Ming Cai's daily image in the play is wearing a pair of glasses, which is a little cute.There is also an actress, Togawa Kyoko, who is the younger sister of well-known entertainer Togawa Jun.

In fact, this show is the last season and it has already been broadcast, but if you watch it together, it will be very lively.

Especially in Japan now, all-in-one video and TV sets are very popular, that is, the TV and video recorder are combined together, so that you can record TV programs and watch them at any time without missing them.

Humans are really smart.

Xiaonin is particularly active in watching dramas. Because of his sister, there are no items related to Akina Nakamori at home.

In this regard, Xiao Ren really had to complain about his sister.

The two of you are really not comparable. Sister Mingcai is far ahead.

Of course, I can't say this casually, so it's very comfortable to finish the drama now.

The chattering classmates came over when they saw Xiao Ren smiling.

"By the way, the summer vacation is coming to an end, and Xiao Ren has not been active with everyone before."

"Are you going to choose a school?"

"Yes, which high school preparation is it?"

Facing the questions from her classmates, Xiao Ren is still young after all, and some things can't be held back.

"Inner, actually...I mean inner..."

She looks like this, everyone's curiosity is completely mobilized.

"What? Who is it?"

"Yeah, what are you trying to say?"

"Just say anything."

Xiao Ren was a little embarrassed, but at this level, it was impossible not to say it. Of course, she wanted to say it originally.

"I, I made a movie during the summer vacation."

Ah, said it, it's very comfortable.

Xiao Ren felt comfortable, but all the classmates were struck by lightning.

I'm so envious, okay?

This girl is really too much!

Envy, jealousy and hatred are the traditional virtues of human beings.

But fortunately, everyone was originally a star chaser, and now the star chaser has become a classmate chaser, and it doesn't seem to have changed much.

"It must be fun to make a movie, right?"

"Would it be stressful looking at that camera?"

"Idiot! Can't look at the camera most of the time!"

"That...will it be a big sale?"

"It's hard. It seems that Japanese movies are not doing well right now."

"Isn't there a blockbuster before, and the box office is very good. It seems that the rationed box office has exceeded 40 billion."

"But that movie is also a big investment!"

He started chattering again, and, unsurprisingly, he heard the words of 'worry'.

"It should be a big sell." Although Xiao Ren said so, but her heart was:

It's sure to be a big sale!

This girl really believes in uncle.

……

In fact, the performance of the Japanese film market this year is not very good.

There is indeed a very strong blockbuster in the summer file.

"Dunhuang".

The film stars Hiroshi Sato, Toshiyuki Nishida, and Anna Nakagawa, and is supervised by Junya Sato.

Hiroshi Sato is a rookie actor who is favored by many people. His father is the well-known Rentaro Mikuni.

Nakagawa Anna is a pure rookie, starring for the first time.

Nishida Toshiyuki is different, he is very high, and he is an artist with a red background.

Junya Sato is familiar with the "Pursuit", but in fact, his first supervised film was an anti-war film, exposing the brutality of the Japanese army.

In fact, this film is a co-production with mainland China, and the main entity on the Japanese side is the Tokukan Bookstore.

The owner of the bookstore, Tokuma Kangkuai, has made considerable contributions to Sino-Japanese relations. Zhou Gong also met this person. Back then, he was knocked out by the right wing because of his anti-war policy. At present, he is very active in the friendship between China and Japan.

Tokuma Yasushi also fully supported Hayao Miyazaki and produced many classic animations. It can be said that without Tokuma Bookstore, there would be no Ghibli.

But, back to the movie "Dunhuang".

The current box office ration is more than 40 billion, that is to say, the overall box office is more than 80 billion. The current Japanese box office statistics are mainly based on the ration system.

It should be said that this box office is still very successful, but if it falls on this movie, it will be different.

The investment of "Dunhuang" exceeds 45 billion yen!

It is a cruel reality that it is already possible to book this year's box office champion work, but it may not be able to make money.

Shimaya Cheng, as a middle-level Toho, he also understands this reality.

This year's Dongbao has done a considerable reduction in the film aspect. Currently, there are only two films. I won't talk about the first one, and the second one is the most critical.

The investment of "The Story of the Imperial Capital" is about 20 billion yen. It should be said that such an investment is considered a big production in Japan.

But getting it internationally is really not enough.

20 billion yen is more than 1 million US dollars, which is an average level in Hollywood.

According to Shimadani, the Japanese film market needs new things!

In the past, ATG, which used to be very active in Shinjuku, is an alternative film company with youth and vitality that claims to shoot movies with 1000 million yen.

However, there have been many supervisors such as Nagisa Oshima, Kanto Shindo, Shohei Imamura... and many of them even have international reputation.

Now in the late 80s, the ATG company is on its way to demise.

Movies are meant to make money. There are ideals and ideas, but in the end, they cannot be realized, at least not in today's society.

So, where does the new come from?

Shimaya Cheng listened to the person and the movie mentioned by Teacher Shishoji.

It seems to be about 1000 million production costs?

Inexplicably, he thought of ATG, a company with a strong left-wing momentum.

So, can Takeshi Iwata complete the realization?

This is actually the key to Shimaya Cheng's proposal of the 'divided' distribution method. From Dongbao's point of view, it won't pay anything, so why not try it?

In his office in the Takarazuka Building, Shimiya Cheng was holding a cup of coffee and looking out the window.

It should be said that having such an office and such a good view fully shows that he is not an ordinary middle-class.

But right now, the pressure is huge.

Just then, the intercom phone rang.

"Oh... invite them in."

Soon, Shisangji and Takeshi Iwata appeared in Shimaya's office.

The three chatted, and Shimaya asked his assistant to make two cups of coffee, and they all sat down on the sofa together.

As far as meeting customers is concerned, there are many ways in the business world. Japanese companies will have a chat room, which is a place for foreigners to talk about things, but some are just a cubicle. Get a room.

Further, you can talk to big figures in the company across the desk.

Going a step further, it's everyone sitting on the sofa, drinking coffee and even smoking.

The above is still the kind of "Japanese rules" that no one says, but most of them are doing.

Shimaya is showing a lot of tolerance now, after all, there is Teacher Shishoji, but he immediately showed another side.

"Iwata-san, if I'm not mistaken, should I come here to discuss the issue of publishing? Then why did I ask Shishoji-sensei?"

Shimaya said with a smile on his face, but the sword was hidden in the words:

You Iwata Takeshi are so big, can't you come by yourself?Is Teacher Shishoji your nanny?

But he didn't want to, and before Iwata Takeshi said anything, Teacher Shishoji first said, "I have to follow."

Shimaya is a little confused.

Shishoji then said, "Supervisor Iwata, he wrote another script. Although this script has not been finalized, it is only the first draft, but I think it has great potential, so I came together."

Shimaya Cheng understood this, probably because Teacher Shishoji was too anxious and afraid of missing the unfinished script, so he wanted to give an explanation.

"So that's the case, it's not about the issue of distribution." Shimiya Cheng's face became better.

However, Iwata Takeshi said: "This time, I still have to discuss the issue of distribution."

This made Shimaya completely stunned.

Then, Takeshi Iwata took out the first draft.

Teacher Shishang Temple smiled and said, "Samiya Shimagu, please read this script first."

Shimaya Cheng nodded solemnly, and then took over to look over it.

He was more curious, what kind of story made Teacher Shishang Temple like this?

The result looks like this...

The two big characters first came into view.

no time.

The police sent undercover to Yakuza, and Yakuza sent undercover to the police... This is very novel!

But soon, he saw it right away.

This story was born out of the 'Shan Yi struggle'!

Chapter 032 Kiryu One Horse? Everyone of 'Like a Dragon' join my movie!

Kazuma Kiryu, originally a promising Yakuza, was a gold medalist in the Kazama group before the age of 30, assisted by his younger brother.

However, the leader of the Kazama group was killed, and the leader of the father and son had his last words on his deathbed, telling Kiryu Kazuma not to continue to be a Yakuza.

The Kazejian Group was destroyed, and Kiryu was no longer in the world, and he became an ordinary person.

But he soon found out that it is very difficult for ordinary people to do it, especially when the police often find him in trouble.

It turned out that this was not to trouble him, but because he was a policeman.

When he was 20 years old, Kazuma Kiryu was originally a vigorous policeman, but he worked in a small place in the countryside, until one time he was spotted by a police officer and had a good chat with him.

Since then, he has changed from a small policeman in the countryside to a Yakuza in Tokyo.
