With this song by Sister Quanshui, the production of the movie "Love Letter" can be said to be completed.

Then, the film business bureau that has just started to seize the battle, and now it has the support of President Kotei, as well as Morita's activity, and the completion of the work.

Is that enough?

Yuki Kusano knew very well that he still needed the support of someone, and this was the main reason why he said that to Xiao Ting before.

......

In the winter month of 1994, "Love White Paper" was quite successful.

Hikaru Ishida, as the host of the NHK Red and White Song Club for two consecutive years, is indeed extremely popular, and with the joining of Takuya Kimura, the ratings are certainly guaranteed.

This kind of success, which is almost carried in the pocket, is something to be happy for some people, but it is also boring for others.

The prince of the Shochiku family, who has a transcendent status on Fuji TV, has no special feelings about this.

As a child who grew up on film, Kozo Nagayama is actually looking forward to Yuki Kusano's new work.

It's really funny that guy went to make a movie.

To be honest, he admires Yuki Kusano, who is indeed very bold to be able to make a movie after such a successful TV series.

Of course, Kozo Nagayama also knew very well that the situation at that time, Yuki Kusano was able to win the current position, which was already quite good.

It's just that at the moment, the situation of the movie is really not very good, so I...

Prince Shochiku has been preparing one thing recently, and that is the special chapter of "Wonderful Things of the World" that he proposed before.

This series has become a pretty good IP at present, and it is still an IP made by Fuji TV itself, so it's really a pity not to make good use of it.

The most interesting thing is that this series is a lot of new things that can be done.

A lot of them have something to do with movies.

Let's just say that in the first season, there are two tributes to the well-known film master Hitchcock. It wasn't a great shot, but it was a good attempt.

Kozo Nagayama really wanted to try to 'make a movie' through this series and follow this model.

Well, it's still more interesting to have a movie, at least that's what Prince Shochiku thinks.

But one day, there was an unexpected incident.

"Team leader, the Kusano team leader of the Film Business Bureau is here. ”

"Oh?"

Kozo Nagayama is very strange, why did Yuki Kusano come to him at this time?

Could it be because of what happened to the Fujima family before?

When I think about this, I can't help but smile on my face, as if there is no substantial progress, then...

"Team leader, don't you want to see him?"

"No, please. ”

In this way, Kozo Nagayama met Yuki Kusano in the first group of his own production bureau.

This is a very interesting thing, although the two of them were originally members of the production bureau, but the two did not even talk in this situation, and usually communicate during meetings.

However, after meeting, it was also very simple.

"Finished filming?"

"Well, it's done. ”

"I heard it's a romance movie. ”

"Yes, it's a romance movie. ”

"I'd love to see it. ”

"Then you need your help, team leader. ”

Kozo Nagayama's feeling was that if the two of them changed into outfits, such as samurai ronin suits, and then pinned long knives to their waists, it would be too appropriate for the situation.

And Kusano Xing thinks that it should be bamboo forest wine, long sword and big sword, you black tiger dig out your heart, I am long rainbow through the sun, this kind of martial arts freehand, can be regarded as the occasion.

It's really hard to tell who is right, but I heard it clearly.

Kozo Nagayama smiled, "You want to ask me for help, that is, I hope Shochiku can help with the distribution, right?"

"That's right. Yuki Kusano nodded.

This is indeed the plan, which is why Yuki Kusano told Xiao Ting not to be suspicious of him.

The release of a movie, distribution is a very critical link, the current Japanese film market is not very good, and Banghua is subject to various constraints, if the animated film is better, but this kind of live-action movie, not to find a big company, it's really difficult.

In the case of Fuji TV, Toho and Shochiku were originally the backers, but the question is, can Yuki Kusano go to Toho?

On the contrary, he was almost certain that Director Kameyama would have some action on the film.

Of course, this news has been secretly passed on by Ice Beauty, but even without her news, this is quite obvious.

Therefore, Yuki Kusano took the lead in Prince Shochiku, preparing to use the power of Nagayama Kozo.

But!

Kozo Nagayama laughed, and he asked a very obvious question.

"Why should I help you?"

Yes, it's an unavoidable, very obvious, and difficult question.

Yuki Kusano smiled when he heard this, and then he took out a stack of bound A4 papers.

......

In the Film Bureau.

"You mean, he went to find Kozo Nagayama?"

"Yes, exactly. ”

"Hehehe...... That's all this guy does. ”

"Director Kameyama, you must be on guard. ”

Kameyama, as the director of the bureau, was listening to Akiyama's report, but he didn't expect that this guy Yuki Kusano would be so decisive.

Before he made a move, Yuki Kusano launched the action in advance, not to mention, it is indeed like his style.

However, that Nagayama Kozo is not easy to deal with.

"I know, three days later, there will be a special meeting on the distribution of the film. ”

Soon, the Film Bureau issued an official announcement.

......

On this day, Fuji TV large conference room.

Originally, this conference room was either used by the production bureau or the review conference, and it was rarely used by a small department such as the Film Bureau.

At least there aren't that many of them.

But today is different, an announcement was made three days ago, and a very important issue will be negotiated today.

In other words, there will be customers coming, and these guests should be Japanese theater companies.

In fact, the Japanese film market is also theatrical, and the history of the theatrical system is quite long, and the development has been quite stable now.

Mainly the three major cinema companies.

Toho, Toei, Shochiku.

In addition, there are some small cinema companies, such as the famous Iwanami Cinema, although this cinema company is not large, but it has its own characteristics, that is, they often release a movie for a year.

In other words, such a film has been tested by Iwanami Cinema and is worth a year of release, and most of them are literary films.

And then there are the very small ones, which are considered theater operators, and they live in a theater. Of course, many of them are hugging their thighs and integrating into large cinema companies such as Toho.

The main thing is these three companies, which are almost equivalent to monopolies. However, over the years, the Japanese film market has been sluggish, and overseas films have been taking the lion's share, especially Hollywood blockbusters.

So, naturally, these three major cinema companies have Hollywood funds.

Otherwise, why did people give you the film?

Maybe it's very low at the beginning, very cheap, but when you can't do without it, you have to rely on Hollywood blockbusters to make money, and at this time, big Hollywood companies will use their strong financial strength to make acquisitions or inject capital.

This routine has already conquered the European film market, and as for Japan, I am afraid it will not last long.

However, the Japanese side still has a lot of policies, and they have also given a lot of support to Banghua, for example, the current box office does not count the box office, but the ration income.

It is to record how much income the producer of a film gets, which is about 50-60% of the total box office, in order to encourage local film production.

So, these policies ...

Yuki Kusano, who was sitting in the conference room, kept coming up with this information in his head, indeed, these policies are very similar to our future policies in China, and they should be used for reference and learning.

Of course, there is nothing to be ashamed of, good things can be learned, after all, the current Chinese film market is also very weak.

Morita sat next to Yuki Kusano, who was in much better shape now than before.

"Ayuki, this time ......"

Kusano didn't speak, but nodded.

Morita was very happy to see it, this is you, Ah Xing!

At this moment, Kameyama and others came in, and there were many strange people who came with them, and they knew at a glance that they should be people from the three major cinema companies.

"Meeting!"

Kameyama is full of momentum.

Today's meeting is very simple, to discuss the release of the film "Love Letter". Then, of course, no one wasted time.

"Of course, there is no problem with Fuji TV's movie being released in our theaters, but the point is that it is a love movie. "Toho quickly got into the subject.

"That's right, the box office performance of romance films is still very weak at the moment, although Ichiban is Miho Nakayama, but she does not have a particularly bright performance in movies. Toei said the same thing.

So...

"We can probably give about 18% of the schedule. ”

"We're pretty much the same. ”

Toho and Toei can be said to express their attitudes very quickly.

18% of the film schedule, which can only be said to be quite average for a new film, but you must know that there is a big thing like Miho Nakayama in this movie, and it is produced by Fuji TV, so looking at it like this, it is equivalent to a low-ranking film.

It seems that this is Kameyama's method.

But I don't want to, it's not over.

"Because such a film is too risky, we also need to deduct a part of the income rationing. ”

"That's right, the money needs to be put into publicity, and about 10% will be deducted. ”

10% of the box office, they want to take away.

Of course, this is indeed not in line with the policy formulated by Japan, but it has always been like this, the policy is dead, and people are alive.

Yuki Kusano is very clear that our country's later regulations also require the producer to give more than half of the box office, but in fact, it is good that the producer can get 3 percent, because a large part of the money is also used for publicity.

Pretty much what it looks like.

So, that's it?

Chihiro Kameyama looked at Yuki Kusano and showed a victorious smile.

That means, is there anything else you can do?

But I heard Yuki Kusano reply directly, "The cost of publicity, let's do it ourselves." ”

Well?

How can this guy be so confident?

For a moment, the atmosphere in this large conference room was very tense. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
