Chapter 368: "Red Hot Chili Peppers" premieres, a perfect combination of live-action and animation!
In August, this is probably the hottest time in Tokyo.
Odaiba in Minato, where Fuji TV is located, is not bad, after all, it is near Tokyo Bay, and it is relatively open, and the sea breeze will bring a cool feeling.
However, it may be okay on the outside, but on the inside, it is completely different.
"The Matrix was such a success, but we at Fuji TV actually got such a small benefit!"
"Who was in charge of this negotiation in the first place?"
"Dashan Sang, you should take the initiative to take responsibility!"
"Xiao Ting, you guy, take yourself out completely, do you still have a sense of shame!"
"The Matrix" has grossed $500 million worldwide so far, and it may not necessarily be the box office champion this year, but it is definitely a super success.
And behind such a box office success, Fuji TV has completely become a background board.
How did you talk about it in the first place?
The adaptation cost is $1 million, and the follow-up box office share is 1% of the local Japan.
In other words, Fuji TV made more than 200 million yen in this deal.
Or more than $2 million.
Let's put it this way, if a general project, such as a high-rated drama, earns more than 200 million yen for a TV station, then it is still very successful.
However, this movie won more than 10 billion yen at the box office in Japan alone!
Whether it is Dashan or Xiaoting, they need to give an account to the board of directors.
These two people knew they wouldn't come back.
But for now, they can only attack each other.
In this scene, Kozo Nagayama keeps laughing, which is indeed too funny.
Wait a minute, there's one more person!
"Hey, before you push the responsibility of the association, shouldn't you talk about that guy!"
"Are you talking about Yuki Kusano?"
"Of course!"
"What's wrong with him?"
"How much did he take in this deal?"
It should be said that this issue should still be discussed, Yuki Kusano, as the original author, how much did he take, and how did this guy talk about it?
So, everyone turned their attention to Misato Fukuyama, the head of the deliberation room.
In other words, Misato Fukuyama's recent work is just average, and no one knows what she is thinking, she...... The master has already made a big mystery.
That's right, Misato Fukuyama is struggling with whether to move in as well. Seriously, moving in isn't a good option.
Because in that case, wouldn't it be completely exposed?
"Mr. Fukuyama!"
"Oh, are you asking me?"
Misato Fukuyama was a little distracted, which made many people strange.
Fortunately, after all, it was Dong Daisheng, and he reacted very quickly, "Do you want to ask about the situation of the superintendent of Kusano?"
"Exactly!"
I knew that these guys would end up pulling Yuki Kusano.
Misato Fukuyama thought for a moment and said simply: "At that time, Superintendent Kusano's request at that time was $100,000 for the adaptation. ”
"This ......," the mountain frowned.
This fee seems to be very reasonable now, and at the time, it was considered a high price.
In fact, literary works and anime adaptations are not very high in terms of this authority, and the average American writer is about 100,000 US dollars. But in fact, the writers calculate another account, that is, after the adaptation, it will drive sales, and if a movie is successful, then the original will be a big hit.
That's what they're earning, and that's a lot of money.
Xiao Ting was very simple, "Is that all?"
"Well, as far as the Kusano Overseer is concerned, that's all. Misato Fukuyama replied very formally.
But is that right?
But at this time, someone asked more.
"What about other related parties?"
In this "The Matrix", Toho and Shochiku of course made a profit from the box office, which is a big head, but after a movie is popular, there are many ways to make a profit.
Mr. Fukuyama replied simply, "Stardust Entertainment asked for the distribution rights of video products in Asia at that time, and finally negotiated the distribution rights in Japan. ”
This...
As soon as this is said, everyone understands it in their hearts.
Now Stardust Arts has been merged into the W Group, although this W Group is very mysterious, and it is not known who is the real boss of this group, but it is right that it has something to do with Yuki Kusano!
Now that the box office is so good, then the future of video products, that is, videos and DVDs, will definitely sell well!
How can you repair it, but let this guy Yuki Kusano make a lot of money!
In fact, these negotiation conditions themselves are not simple, but Warner is an American company, although it has a branch in Japan, many things are not easy to carry out, as if Akina Nakamori is a signed artist of Warner, but in fact, Akina Nakamori also had a branch at the beginning.
In this way, you have to let the local company get a piece of the pie, and Yuki Kusano ...... when she first talked about it There's Misato Fukuyama.
I'm in charge of the legal side, which is close to the water.
After signing the contract, as long as it is completely legal, it will be fine, anyway, no one expected that it would be such a big success at the beginning.
Moreover, most of them are staring at the box office, Dashan represents Toho, Xiaoting is also related to Kadokawa, and Kozo Nagayama is Prince Shochiku, of course they have to focus on the box office.
That's really ......
Whether it is Dashan or Xiaoting, they all grit their teeth with hatred, but there is nothing they can do.
At this point, Prince Shochiku came out to speak.
"This matter is over, let's focus on the next work. ”
This is not bad, but at this time, Yongshan, Dashan, and Xiaoting's assistants went in and whispered a few words.
What's going on?
"Let's end the meeting. ”
What's going on?
The Fuji TV triumvirate has left one after another, and it seems that something big is happening.
What's going on?
It's not a big deal, that is, the latest masterpiece of Grass Studio, "Red Hot Chili Peppers", hopes to be released at the end of August, so of course, we have to talk about the issue of film scheduling.
What can they do with the Big Three?
Nagayama Kozo, the prince of Shochiku, shook his head and smiled bitterly as he walked, he understood that at least in terms of Shochiku, he must allocate the best film resources to Yuki Kusano. Fish fish
......
At the end of August, Tokyo's hottest period is about to pass.
The 22nd was a weekend, but many people gathered in a very special place early in the morning.
Shochiku Films, this is a giant of Japanese cinema, and this company not only shoots movies, but also has many movie theaters, some of which are very well located.
Waseda Shochiku Cinema, this is a very old theater, built in the 50s, however, Japan is a country, sometimes it is more serious, although this theater is old, but it still looks very clean.
With a total of more than 150 seats, just one screen, it is indeed quite old-school.
It's really special here, mainly because of the special name, Waseda.
Today...
"Ryoko!
"Look over here!"
"It's so beautiful!
Waseda was originally a well-known university in Japan, but today it doesn't matter so much, there are so many reporters and many fans.
That's right, it's the premiere of "Red Hot Chili Peppers" right now!
Why choose here?
Waseda!
Well, what I want to say to the outside world is that not only Ryoko, but also Masato Sakai also graduated from this university.
Isn't that great?
And for good reason!
But Ryoko still smiled the best, she was wearing a red dress today, innocent and a little mature, and was besieged by reporters.
"The words of this movie ......"
"Actually, Sister Zhongshan is also the protagonist, and I'm not mature enough. ”
"We know that, but we'd like to ask, what about Superintendent Kusano?
"How is that possible! Superintendent Kusano is extremely handsome and extremely talented!"
That's what Ernie sauce said!
But though, it's all because of the incident with Rie Miyazawa before.
Japanese people are like this, they will always speculate on others from a more malicious angle, which is why Yamaguchi Momoe and Miura Tomokazu are the most hated couple in Japan.
It's just that now Yuki Kusano and Rie Miyazawa are not married, otherwise, the two of them would also be on the list.
Of course, Ryoko knows in her heart that if the truth is made public, Kusano supervises that he is actually in the same state as so many beautiful stars...... I want to laugh.
Superintendent Kusano will definitely dominate that list.
Ryoko is still good, helping her Ernie chan to say good things.
The other person is even more ...... It's not a ninja.
"Brother is definitely a great man! Superintendent Kusano is the best person I've ever met!" Sakai Masato is almost swearing to his brother.
Anyway, no one is allowed to speak ill of my brother, and besides, how can he be a lewd man.
It's obviously one, just an overseer who is just a little less handsome than himself.
This inner activity is really in line with Sakai Masato.
Of course, such a small episode is not important, the key is to watch the movie.
deliberately chose to premiere in Waseda's theater, Ryoko's eyes were full of happiness, and Shinobu was ...... Anyway, if you make up your mind, you must get pregnant first!
Well, go back and squeeze that guy out of Kusano.
It seems that everyone's mind is weird.
Fortunately, there were people who were very dedicated to attend the premiere, and that was Kuroda Yamazaki and Onto Nomoto.
The two of them are on a mission, and the superintendent is now the top superintendent in Japan, and he is a well-known superintendent with an international reputation.
So, what will this imaginative "Red Hot Chili Chili Peppers" look like?
You know, there are original works here in Japan, and everyone has already seen them before they came.
With such thoughts, of course, there is also Nagayama Kozo, this Prince Shochiku came here on purpose.
Own cinema, convenient.
No matter what, be sure to take a good look at this movie.
"Red Hot Chili Peppers" also lived up to expectations, and it didn't take long for it to be displayed in front of everyone.
When the label passed, that is, after the big words of the grass studio, it was:
Supervision: Yuki Kusano!
Animation: Kim Min!
It's weird.,There's an animation added.,But it's nothing.,Keep reading.。
It was still black after the subtitles passed, but suddenly, it seemed as if someone was opening their eyes.
It's not much, it's like taking a nap and then opening those eyes, that's it.
And the one who appeared in front of everyone was Ryoko.
"Hello, Officer Pink River. ”
Ryoko is asking everyone?
Soon, the camera pulled out, and it should have been a police officer who had just opened his eyes, that is, Toshimi Pink River.
Of course, the audience saw that this police officer was played by Abe Kuan. Well, it's clear that Ryoko is red pepper.
But the next thing is interesting.
"Please come with me, and I'll introduce the officer to our lab. ”
Laboratory?
Oh, yes, this is indeed a testing facility, and you can see that the red peppers are still wearing a white coat in a decent manner.
So, this Officer Pink River is here to visit the laboratory?
But not long after, there was a particularly strange scene.
There was a click, as if the glass had shattered, and in front of Fan Chuan and Red Pepper, the place where there should have been only air, appeared as if the mirror had shattered.
This...
Is it in a dream?!
Then a large blue butterfly flew out of the cracked opening.
It's an animation!
Reality and dreams, live-action and animation, are combined in this moment!
