Yuki Kusano came out of Akina's sister and received a call from Ice Beauty.

"Where are you?"

"What's the matter?"

"I have to talk to you. ”

"Okay, I see, you can wait for me at home. ”

"Okay. ”

"Forgot something, right?"

"Okay, master. ”

Yuki Kusano could completely hear the anxiety in the ice beauty's words, but he still emphasized the subordination, and it seemed that this ice beauty was quite sober.

So, I immediately took a taxi to the house of the ice beauty, and when I met, I found that she seemed to have just come back, and the Armani dress had not faded.

Yuki Kusano didn't say a word, and directly pressed the ice beauty on her table.

......

"Master, Si Guoyi. ”

"I've had a gym lately. ”

"Does fitness really work?"

"Of course, this is Mr. Muranishi's teaching. ”

"Haha...... Master, please forgive me, it's just that if you always call him Mr. Muranishi, I'll ......"

"It's okay, he's Mr. Muranishi. ”

Maybe it's the afterglow, maybe it's something else, but the ice beauty still has a flush on her face.

The feeling before was really great, of course, it may be because I haven't been with the owner for a long time. However, the ice beauty can also clearly feel the difference this time, it is a very difference.

Yuki Kusano doesn't have any tricks at all, and sometimes, this kind of straight-to-go is even more powerful.

Was it taught by Mr. Muranishi?

It has nothing to do with him.

Of course, Yuki Kusano also knows very well that Ice Beauty has something to say to herself.

"What's going on with the TV station?"

"The hosts, yes, are some of the things I found. ”

"What did you find?"

"I see, isn't your budget a bit too much this time?"

Got a big budget?

A smile appeared on Kusano's face after hearing this, and she looked at the ice beauty with a very strange look.

"Master, tell me about it. "Ice beauty, this is still coquettish.

Yuki Kusano smiled and said, "Is it just a little more?"

"This ......" a look of surprise appeared on the ice beauty's face.

Yuki Kusano continued, "That's quite a lot, isn't it?" ”

"Well, that's true, but why would the master do this?"

As the head of the deliberation room, and he is also the executive director, of course, he has to review many documents in the TV station, and the production cost of "Midnight Bell" this time was set at 200 million by Yuki Kusano, so of course the ice beauty has to take a look.

You know, she is not a professional film and television producer, her major is law, but even so, she has been exposed to a lot of such documents, and soon she felt that the investment of 200 million yuan was a bit too much.

It can even be clearly compared that the investment in "matrix", which is currently being trained and filmed intensively, is also 200 million, and this SP is still divided into two parts, and the lineup in it is very luxurious, and there are other special production costs for the action.

Of course, now it seems that additional investment is going to be made, but this "Midnight Bell" is completely incomparable!

It's too much worse, isn't it, although this is a movie, it costs a lot of money in terms of photography, but it's not as good as that SP's at all.

The ice beauty quickly came to such a conclusion, of course she was very anxious, so she couldn't wait to meet the master, but she didn't expect the master to be so direct...

So what about now?

"Why did I do this?" Facing the ice beauty, Yuki Kusano smiled, he didn't answer this question directly, but asked, "You can see it, then, what about Xiaoting and Dashan?"

"This ......" Ice Beauty is actually most worried about this!

"Master, you did it on purpose, but why did you do it on purpose?"

Yuki Kusano was indeed deliberate, and his intention was premeditated.

In fact, many people don't know some details of this "Midnight Bell".

This movie has a place in film history, and there may be many people who don't believe it, but it is.

Yuki Kusano remembered that there was a horror film called "Cabin in the Woods" in later generations, and most of the people in this horror film saw the special effects in it, as well as that very classic shot: when several elevators arrived at the same time, the armed security guards who were originally waiting for them, they instantly faced all kinds of ferocious monsters, and then there were all kinds of plasma sprays, and the whole shot was very tense.

But in fact, this movie is a spit film.

is a horror film that complains about horror films, and there are many particularly obvious examples of it, such as about this "Midnight Bell", that is, in the plot, there is a high-level person in it who said that since 98, Japan has defeated the United States.

When did Japan defeat the United States?

In reality, it never is, it's an obvious fact.

So, the answer is obvious, the only place where Japan defeated the United States was in horror films, what movie was 98?

It's this "Midnight Bell".

Since then, "The Grudge" has been made into an American version and has won many box office champions. Of course, this is actually a complaint from Hollywood horror film practitioners, who complain that Hollywood horror films are too stereotyped, such as in this "Cabin in the Woods", the one who is to be redeemed in the end must be a girl, or must be a virgin.

However, according to Hollywood's complaints, this meaningful horror film must be a big production?

Wrong!

Yuki Kusano is very familiar with Japanese films, and he remembers this "Midnight Bell" very clearly, because this is a rare low-cost, high-grossing work in Japanese film history.

How low is the cost?

The total production cost is about 15 million yen.

In fact, people who know movies can see it at a glance, because the cinematography of this movie, as well as many effects, are very rough and don't cost much at all.

But now, Yuki Kusano has proposed a budget of 200 million yen.

How so?

"I have several purposes, first, through such a budget, I can test the attitude of Dashan and Xiaoting, and now it seems obvious. ”

After Yuki Kusano finished speaking, the ice beauty couldn't help but suddenly realize.

hugged the master and kissed it, "Now it's President Daiyama who supports the master." ”

"That's right, and because of this, Toho and Shochiku have also attracted funds. Kusano's words are very crucial.

Think about it, if the original cost is calculated, 15 million yen, such a small number, will Fuji TV still need to find external funds?

The previous "Love Letter" was completely because Kameyama Chihiro had to be embarrassed by Kusano, otherwise, 20 million would not be a big investment.

200 million yen, that's a lot of space.

In this way, it is equivalent to the fact that the Dongbao system and the Shochiku department both support Kusano, and Xiao Ting naturally had to retreat first.

Yuki Kusano didn't tear his face with Xiao Ting.

"Also, there are other benefits, that with a big budget for this film, I can be more bold with the camera and make a better film. ”

That's right, it's definitely a benefit.

Ice Beauty was a little excited when she heard this, although the owner wanted to succeed with evil ways, but when he treated the work, he made it with an extremely serious attitude.

And in fact, there is one point that Yuki Kusano can't say.

200 million yen, now it is equivalent to the use of his own supervision, and it will indeed use better camera equipment, and better special effects production, of course, the special effects here do not refer to computer special effects, which I really can't afford now.

Let's say that the current price of industrial light and magic in the United States is 1 million US dollars in 30 seconds, that is, 100 million yen will disappear in an instant.

This money can't be spent like this, but Kusano has a better way.

For example, the audition for Stardust Arts, then, this has to cost money, but the superintendent will personally guide it.

What about the other actions?

That's right, Yuki Kusano thought very clearly, that is, to make some slight exaggerations, such as shooting that shot, it would have cost 1 million yen, so let's report a little more, double it slightly, 2 million.

Of the 1 million, Stardust has gone to the account.

In this way, wouldn't it mean that Stardust Art could account for a large amount of income with almost no money?

It should be said that this is also something that cannot be helped, after all, the budget shouted out by this movie is too high, and in fact it may not be spent.

You know, if you can't spend the budget, it's a big crime.

Kusano Yuki could only reluctantly take advantage of it.

It's really difficult, but he's a serious overseer.

Of course, there is no need to tell Ice Beauty about this, and as for whether she can think of it herself, Yuki Kusano doesn't care so much.

Ice Beauty was already very happy when she heard the previous ones, but she was still a little worried.

"Master, the key this time, I shouldn't need to remind you, right? ”

Yuki Kusano nodded, and inexplicably touched something in his hand, oh, it turned out to be stockings, but it shouldn't be able to be worn, "As long as this movie can reach a box office of 2 billion, that is to say, the investment of 200 million will reach 10 times the box office, then, no matter what problems there are, no matter Xiaoting or Dashan, I can't say anything." ”

The ice beauty was tickled a little by the silky thing.,So what's next...

"I wish the host great success!"

"You ......"

Forget it, talk less and do more.

......

In fact, Yuki Kusano has basically completed the preparation for "Midnight Bell", and with such a large amount of money, many things can be easily solved, such as in terms of soundtrack.

He went to Yusuke Honma again, and there was also a sound effect, and Yusuke Honma recommended Kenji Kawai.

This is also a well-known musician, and his previous proud works are "Mobile Police" and "Ranma 1/2".

Also, isn't that Sadako already caught herself?

Yuki Kusano was confident that all the filming would be completed within a month, and then, the release time was in time for December 1994.

This release time is also the key to whether he can complete the 2 billion box office feat!

However, at this time, there was a person who left Tokyo, and he was Fujimoto Kan.

On a plane, he came to Taiwan, China, and the purpose of this trip was very simple, that is, the release of "Love Letter".
