Tokyo Literary Godfather

"That box office poison..."

There were sarcasm in the box, these people were subconsciously flattering Nakadai Hideki, and the more they belittled Arima Guixiang, describing her as a box office poison, it seemed that Nakadai Hideki could not be blamed for the failure of "Bai Ye Xing".

Moreover, these people all know that Nakadai Yingji was thinking about Arima Guixiang before. As a result, it didn't take long for Arima Guixiang to get involved with Fujiwara Kei.

Therefore, Nakadai Hideyoshi had a certain amount of resentment towards Arima Katsura. It just so happened that the movie also failed, and he began to deliberately blame Arima Katsura in front of the media.

"I heard that it was Chief Shirai who convinced the senior management to invest in Kei Fujiwara's new movie. Alas, Chief Shirai was too biased towards Keina Fujiwara."

"That's right. In fact, the film adaptation of "White Night Journey" was facilitated by Specialist Shirai. In fact, I personally think that the book is not suitable for being adapted into a film at all..."

"That's right, Keina Fujiwara is defiant because he has made a little achievement in the field of TV dramas. He doesn't have any seniors in his eyes. He didn't take the initiative to say hello to me when he was in the academy last time. Mr. Matsushita, what a nice person , how miserable he was, what a disgusting boy."

"But this guy is indeed very powerful. He has only made his debut two years ago and has already produced more than a dozen works. He has never failed."

At this time, one person said, and the others couldn't help but look at him, you guy, you are ruining the atmosphere. In this situation, what nonsense can you tell the truth?

"I want to know that he wants to shoot a movie, but I didn't expect it to be this type. Well, cough. This kid does have some tricks, but..." Zhong Daiying sipped his red wine, "Movies are not that simple, haha .”

"However, Supervisor Nakadai." Another person said at this time: "I heard that Matsuri Pictures' next operating strategy is to reduce self-produced films and focus on distribution. The funds for self-produced films are very limited. .”

"We also have a movie shooting plan next year. We already have more food than meat, so we don't have much production funds for each movie. If Fujiwara Kei also comes to share a bite, won't we get even less? "

Nakadai Yingji drank wine and gently rubbed the delicate little hand of the wine girl with his left hand. This was also what he was worried about.

After the failure of "White Night Walk", he was also eager to make another film to restore the audience's reputation and the impression in the minds of investors. With his qualifications, if one movie fails, he will lose the qualification to make movies in the future. After all, the losses are not big enough to bring down a company.

In addition, Zhong Daiying's human relations within the company were strong enough, so the company still approved his plan for next year's new movie, but the production funds were significantly reduced.

The budget of his new movie is only tens of millions, and it is not easy to attract investment and sponsorship. It is estimated that the total investment in the end will only be more than 100 million. Now Kei Fujiwara suddenly appeared, and he might have to reduce the budget on the original basis, which made him a little impatient.

"This is actually what I'm worried about..." Nakadai Hideji said, "So I have to trouble Honda-san to give me a nice word..."

The person whom Zhongdai Yingji called "Sang" was just a young man in his twenties, with slicked-back hair and a smooth face. When everyone was talking just now, he didn't participate and was joking with a bartender beside him.

"Honda-san, Honda-san? Oh, you are indeed a young man. He is so energetic." A screenwriter next to him pushed his shoulder.

Honda Munao turned around and looked at Hideji Nakadai with a smile, "What are Director Nakadai worried about? Our relationship has always been good. Your business is my business. I will just tell my sister when the time comes. No need. Worry."

Although it was only a verbal promise, Nakadai Hideji still expressed his gratitude with a smile on his face. This guy is just an ordinary employee of Songni Pictures. His rank is very different from the others, but his sister is the president's lover.

After the president of Matsuri Pictures divorced his ex-wife and was given away hundreds of millions in property, he was heartbroken and became unmarried. Later, he found a new woman, and they had children together for many years, but they did not Get a marriage certificate. The president doted on this woman very much, sometimes even to the extent of obeying her words.

As the younger brother of the president's lover, Honda Munao can decide what kind of flattery his sister will give to the president. Although it is difficult to intervene in some major company decisions, it can have some influence to a greater or lesser extent.

"Oh, Honda-san is so reliable..." Nakadai Hideji said with a smile and a toast, then patted the lower back of the wine girl beside him, and the woman beside him also ran to accompany him.

Honda Munao also seemed to enjoy the way these old men were respectful in front of him. He also patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, this matter is taken care of by me. I don't like Fujiwara Keina either. He always He looks arrogant and has no humility at all!"

When Kei Fujiwara came to Matsuni Pictures, even if someone told him that Munao Honda was the president's brother-in-law, Kei Fujiwara's reaction was indifferent, which made Munao Honda feel slighted and very unhappy.

So for him, it was a matter of killing two birds with one stone to help the likeable senior Hideji Nakadai and to deal with the annoying and arrogant colleague Fujiwara Kei.

A few days later, Ohno Nagaharu and Arima Keika came to Fujiwara Kei's home and began to read the script, first a literary script, and then a formal script.

Arima Guixiang couldn't help but nodded and said: "This story is very interesting...the characters are also very challenging."

Nagaji Ohno had read the script, thought for a while and said, "Fujiwara, I also want to invest in this drama."

At the beginning, Nagaji Ohno proposed investment because he was worried about Kei Fujiwara's lack of funds and out of trust in him, but this time, after reading the script, his confidence in the movie increased a little. So this time we formally proposed investment.

Kei Fujiwara did not refuse this time, nodded and said: "Okay. How much are you prepared to invest?"

"How much more do you need?"

Immediately afterwards, he said: "This film has a total initial budget of 300 million yen. Matsunichi Films invested 60 million yen, and I personally invested 100 million. I also approached Director Yoshida in the past few days, and Tairi is willing to invest 30 million. Some people from the newspaper are also willing to invest..."

"Wait." Choji Ohno interrupted him, "70 million, I remember what you said to me before, Matsuri Films was willing to be the lead investor, how did it become a follow-up investor now? It's only been a few days since we invested 120 million , why did it suddenly fold in half?"

"120 million is the intention reached by Shirai's executive director and I before. This figure should have been allowed by the decision-makers of Matsunichi Pictures at the beginning, but for some reason, they decided to reduce the investment in this film, only 60 million. Matsuri Pictures has their considerations internally, and changes may occur at any time before the contract is signed, and there is no way to do this. I will look for investment again, if there is no investment, I will make up for the rest myself.”

"It seems that there is still a lack of confidence in us." Nagaji Ohno said with emotion: "Well, I will also invest 50 million. For the rest of the money, I will find some companies that have a good relationship with my father."

This is both pie-sharing and risk-sharing.
