Chapter 552: Big Fish Stewed in an Iron Pot
Has it exceeded 30 billion?
Seriously, Yuki Kusano doesn't really care.
After all, in his opinion, as long as he wins, this is the most important thing.
"Ahaha...... My dear old friend, it was fantastic!"
"What do you want to say, my old friend? I don't believe you're just here to congratulate me. ”
"Ah, don't think so, my dear grass. You're really amazing, the board of directors is very happy this time, after all, it's good to make the bastards of the new line suffer a bit!haha......"
"That's good, thank them for me, I have something else on my side. ”
"Wait, wait, don't hang up the phone in such a hurry. Well, there's something else I want to tell you, and that's this movie...... Do you think it's better to have a Golden Globe or an Oscar?"
Golden Globe?Oscar?
Are you already thinking about it?
Yuki Kusano heard the clue, "It's "Samurai". ”
A very calm sentence, but it attracted praise from Ron, "It's worthy of you, it's really too smart, haha, I was still imagining that expression in my head, you thought it was "Red Cliff" but it was actually "Samurai", haha......"
Ron is really good at joking, and he doesn't care how expensive a transatlantic phone is when he calls this time.
Anyway, this kind of phone call is paid for by the company, so naturally you can talk about it as you like.
Although it has not yet been released, after all, in Japan, a movie has a relatively long release time, and films with good box office will have a release period of about three months, but most of them will also be less popular after a month.
Therefore, for now, the box office battle between "Red Cliff 3" and "The Lord of the Rings 2" can indeed be said to have won and lost!
Won, Yuki Kusano won.
Of course, the superintendent will not forget that this matter was originally negotiated between him and Ron, which is equivalent to a bet between the two of them, that is, to see which movie is more powerful in Japan.
So, what kind of reward does this winner have?
"This time, whether it's the Golden Globes or the Oscars, I'm not really interested. ”
Yuki Kusano's words, if others say it, they will definitely complain, but when he says it, not only does he have another purpose, but it also makes people feel admired.
That's what happened with Ron, "Grass, you're really good, but the movie is going well right now, and I've talked to a lot of voting people, and they all say that this movie is really good." ”
Yuki Kusano couldn't help but smile after hearing this, "However, what I value is the next movie." ”
"I understand, you can rest assured, "The Conditions of the World", we at Warner will definitely fully support it, and ......"
"Actually, this movie is the one that really has the potential to win an Oscar. ”
Yuki Kusano's last words made Ron silent for a while, and the transatlantic phone was burning money until...
"Hearing you say that, I inexplicably feel that I should fully support you! Grass, please rest assured!"
Was Ron so passionate this time?
It wasn't until the two hung up the phone that Yuki Kusano's face had a faint smile.
He knew very well what Ron's words meant, the so-called full support, and the most important thing was that the film should bring great profits.
You know, Yuki Kusano has already made some plans before, and the most critical one is such one.
The cost will not be very high.
Why isn't it expensive?
First, making movies in Chinese mainland is much cheaper than Hollywood and Japan.
Don't say much else, let's just talk about food.
By the way, many people don't understand why a movie crew would struggle with eating.
But in fact, anyone who has been involved in filming can understand that eating is actually a big problem.
A crew, especially a large-scale production, with a more detailed division of labor, will not be less than 100 people.
How much do 100 people get three meals a day?
In Hollywood, it's an all-you-can-eat buffet, and in Japan, it's a variety of bento.
Bento has to be hierarchical, right?
Is this still a member of the crew, what about the actors?
What about extras?
As far as Japan is concerned, the average price of a bento is 1,000 yen, and the grade is not carefully considered, so at least about 2 million yen a day, this is still a situation where many people are not treated as human beings.
When Yuki Kusano had just started, it was a group of acquaintances and the entire crew was also very small, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to shoot anything at all.
This time, I will also shoot a lot of shots of Chinese laborers, as well as Japanese devils, if it is Hollywood...... Hurry up and get on the special effects!
In fact, companies such as ILM can rise not only because they make beautiful pictures, but also because the most important thing is that they can hire fewer group actors for the crew.
You must know that there is an actor union in the United States, and actors employed by any Hollywood company must be members of this union.
No kidding, not at all.
In the United States, everyone who is placed by a union will be paid more than someone who does not join a union.
This sounds great, but most of the more ones are taken back by the unions in the form of membership dues, but this is exactly the pain point of the Americans.
That's right, even when looking for change, if it's 4 dollars and 1 cents, and you give the other party 5 dollars and 1, then the other party will definitely not directly ask you for 1 dollar, but ...... Get out the calculator.
So, many Americans feel that they are earning more, and indeed they are more, but they are not as clear as they are.
And there is a result that happened to them as well.
Many people are out of work as a result.
It's like these big Hollywood companies, they give a lot of jobs that were originally group performances to companies like Industrial Light & Magic.
Anyway, I still want to see so many people, but we just don't want to invite that many people.
Interesting things happen, technology advances, people, layoffs.
This is happening in the United States right now, not just in the film industry, not just in Hollywood, in many places, but more interestingly in the second half.
Of course, the workers will make trouble without their jobs, and some of them will also challenge the unions.
However, the unions have their own version of the story.
China!
It is the Chinese who keep you from working! It is they who take away your jobs!
The trade unions not only say this, but also have a very complete set of theories.
To sum up, it's not their pot anyway, it's not the pot of those capitalists, it's that distant country, the people there, their pot!
This is definitely an obvious deception, but there are many, many people in the United States who believe it.
Most of these people are uneducated, but they believe in God, in the so-called brothers and sisters who also believe in God, as for that distant country...... Oh my God, they don't believe in God!
It was just perfect.
As for the fact that some people later became the president of the United States through these, it was even more perfect.
In this way, the cost of filming in China will be very low, which is actually very popular with American capitalists.
And Yuki Kusano told his idea of preparing to attack the Oscars, in fact, he was talking about a complete plan.
This plan includes "Samurai", which is a film against Golden Globes and Oscars...... It's not that Yuki Kusano doesn't care, but this movie can only be used as a foreshadowing.
Ron is a smart guy, of course he can hear it, so the next thing is to watch Yuki Kusano's operation.
But in terms of results, what happens if a film, an Asian film, wins an Oscar for Best Picture, or something else?
Money, dollars, whatever you want to call it!
Lots of them!
That is, a small cost can make a lot of money...
Yuki Kusano received the full support of Warner with a phone call, and he went directly to Tohoku without delay.
......
In January, it is definitely the colder time in the Northeast.
At this time, you can see the scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow.
But this is actually not conducive to the filming of Yuki Kusano, of course, "The Conditions of the World" is a scene with snow scenes, but now, can it be filmed?
"Overseer! I'm ready!"
Abe Kan almost arrived with Yuki Kusano, and to be honest, Yuki Kusano would like to travel to Tohoku first, and it's really nice here.
And now, people have said so, what to do?
"Okay, then, let's start with a scene. ”
"What play?"
Yuki Kusano didn't say much, but took Abe Kan to a restaurant.
The restaurants in the Northeast are still quite simple at this time, in fact, many people don't know that although the wave of layoffs is in the nineties, what really makes people uncomfortable is the present.
At the beginning of the 21st century, many people have seen that it may not be as beautiful as it is sung in the song.
If the heart is there, the dream is there, and it's a big deal to start all over again......
It's good, it's really good, but it's not so easy to start all over again.
As a result, this song became a street song.
If you don't listen to it, it seems that you can't do it.
But, is it so depressed?
No!
At least, it's okay to eat, the water and soil in the Northeast, this product, enough to eat.
Now it's a big black pot, a big fish in it, and then pour the sauce, Chinese cabbage, tofu, eggplant, vermicelli... There are also cakes on the side of the pot.
Abe looked stupid, what is this?
The firewood under the cauldron is burning very strongly, making people feel warm.
No, the lid is lifted and the heat is steaming!
The fish soup, the fish and vegetables in it, are all good.
"Come!"
“...... Hello!"
Abe Kuan hesitated for a moment before moving the chopsticks.,And then...
"Omai!
The big fish stewed in the iron pot is not very good-looking, but it is really fragrant, especially the cakes on the side of the pot.
The cornmeal, soaked in the soup, is really delicious in the world.
"The Northeast dialect is called Ke Jin'er! Come on. ”
"Hello!"
The two, a famous overseer and a handsome guy, eat unscrupulously.
I couldn't help but exclaim from many people in the store.
"Oh mom, what's the matter with you two? You listen to the accent is Japanese, right? How can this be like how many days you haven't eaten?"
Maybe they just got off the plane and didn't eat on the plane. ”
"Makes sense, or ...... Shall we have a drink with the two little devils, and get them both to lower the table?"
"You can pull it! People are international friends, don't throw silver to our country or the Northeast!"
Listen, how simple.
Abe Kuan didn't understand, he laughed stupidly, Yuki Kusano laughed, he really understood.
So, just eat like that?
"Overseer, this is ......"
His stomach was round, and Abe Kuan remembered to ask why.
Yuya Kusano simply, "You can think about it now, you ate quite well, but what about the others?"
For a moment, Abe Kuan looked at Yuki Kusano with adoring eyes, this famous overseer is too powerful!
Yes!
Kaji, when he eats delicious, he will definitely think of those laborers who can't eat enough!
This mood must be grasped!
But in fact, Yuki Kusano just really wants to eat the big fish stewed in the iron pot...
