Chapter 151: Opening Your Mouth Requires 200 Million!
"Great excitement! Yongshan Gengsan's new work sparked a big discussion!"
"Can't the sky stop him?
"Audience complaints have skyrocketed! Is Fuji TV going to be reduced to a second-tier station?"
As the saying goes, suddenly like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms. It seems that overnight, "matrix", the latest SP of "Shiqi", became popular all of a sudden.
"Sankei Shimbun", of course, has to make a big blow, and, of course, it is necessary to push Nagayama Kozo, the prince of Shochiku, and it is true that this time it is Nagayama's supervision, but as usual, Fuji TV does not allow any supervision to appear, so he is also a responsibility in front of his name.
Other newspapers are not too big of a deal, such as the Yomiuri Shimbun, which directly blows Yuki Kusano.
Originally, the young superintendent had not been debuting for a long time, but he had the title of a scripter.
In fact, the so-called scriptwriters are screenwriters, they are similar to the family, sometimes they can write, and sometimes they will write screenwriters or something, and the status of cultural people in Japanese society is not low, let's just say that at the 1993 Red and White Song Festival, the judges not only invited characters like Ichikawa Danjuro, but also 4 of the judges were scripters.
Moreover, they also earn more, and compared with artists, the average income of cultural people in the Japanese entertainment industry is four times that of artists.
Therefore, directly adding the name of a scriptwriter is tantamount to branding Yuki Kusano as rich and famous, plus although everyone doesn't know much about his appearance, it is inevitable that he will be young.
is young and rich, and talented and famous, as if he has become rich and handsome in an instant.
However, there are also a lot of comments that are complaining.
"Asahi Shimbun" couldn't help but issue an angry denunciation, Fuji TV should not be divided into two parts, which is too much for the audience, so that many viewers have a huge sense of expectation and bad intentions!
The reason is that many viewers simply called other TV stations or even newspapers to talk about it.
After all, the first half of "Matrix" is a little too ruthless.
However, there are also some quirky sounds.
Some magazines and newspapers about anime and video games have received many letters from readers about two girls.
"Straight to my heart! Who the hell is that girl who rides a bike and eats tomatoes?"
"She's ...... Maybe not that pretty, but definitely my type!"
"I feel like this scene on TV is happening near my house, and there is a little sister next door, and she also rides a bicycle to school like this. ”
"I like the picture of that little fat girl carrying a bazooka very much, saikou!"
"The little chubby girl used to be good, but now when I see her smile, my whole body melts. ”
"I feel attracted to this girl, I'm not hentai!
In Japan in this era, there are indeed very, very many people who like anime and video games, but some iconic cultures have not yet appeared, just like the legacy of the ancestor of ghost animals, and it may still be in the process of creativity.
Among the audience who originally liked "Shiqi", there were many students, whether they were elementary school students, junior high school students or high school students, when they saw the girl who was originally riding a bicycle and started fighting, and the well-behaved elementary school student actually carried a bazooka.
It's all too much for them, and the point is that it's fun, isn't it?
So, everyone began to submit books to some anime-related books and magazines, and they wanted to know the situation of these two girls, especially the one who rode a bicycle and ate tomatoes.
At the moment, two-dimensional culture certainly exists in Japan, and it is still very popular, but it would be quite shameful to shout it publicly, which is a rather strange Japanese reality.
The first part of "Matrix" has caused such a strong response, which is really surprising.
Fuji TV never thought that it would be like this, although this drama does have a lot of investment, 200 million yen is not for fun, but, after all, the supervisor of this drama is Kozo Nagayama, he wants 200 million to film, how can he not give it?
Moreover, originally "Shiqi" was the existence of that kind of small short drama, but this is the first time to shoot a feature, but I didn't expect it to be such a big success.
Fuji TV, of course, has to do something.
......
"Morning team leader!"
"The team leader has worked hard!"
Yuki Kusano came to the TV station in a straight suit, and there was no staff member who saluted him along the way, and his attitude was much more deferential.
That's as it should be.
Yuki Kusano has adapted quite to the rules of the Japanese workplace, and of course, he is not fluttering.
"Luck!"
"Second Chief, I want to take a little time for you. ”
"Good!"
When there are people, Yuki Kusano will still call Morita Deputy Chief, after all, this is the superficial relationship between the two, and when there is no one, it can be simpler.
On the roof of Fuji TV, Morita lit a cigarette.
Yuki Kusano didn't rush to speak.
"It's really amazing! I didn't expect that even such a work could be so successful!"
"Team leader, this success is not over yet. ”
Yuki Kusano's words made Morita laugh, yes, this is just the first half.
It should be said that Morita's reaction was expected by Yuki Kusano.
This "Matrix" was originally one of the "Shiqi", and he combined many elements of "The Matrix" here, this "Matrix" is a phenomenal masterpiece, which has a high status in film history, and the brain hole is so big that it is breathtaking.
In this era, even if you can't fully shoot the original effect, this idea alone is enough to attract Japanese audiences.
You know, although the Japanese always say that they support their own products, as long as they are marked with the words "made in their own country", the goods will be sold at a high price, but in terms of film and television, Japanese audiences fully explain what it means to be honest.
American Hollywood blockbusters occupy the first place in the box office list all year round, especially some sci-fi blockbusters, and the "Devil Terminator" caused a strong sensation that year, and this movie was also the Japanese box office champion that year.
Now there is such a more interesting one, although the visual effects are not as good as Hollywood blockbusters, but it is a film and television product produced in the country, how can the audience not buy it.
Moreover, each of the actors selected is very promising, either popular, or extremely powerful, or very potential, or even highly topical.
Just look at these names, Sister Akina, Abe Kan, Shizuka, Tamura-san, etc...... Not eye-catching?
Coupled with Yuki Kusano's 'out of chapter' operation, it was an accident if it didn't work.
Therefore, with a rating of 33%, this can only be regarded as a passing grade.
Plan to pass!
However, at the moment, Yuki Kusano doesn't want to lie on the blanket of success and enjoy, he has a plan for the next step.
So, he interrupted Morita's laughter, "Team leader, how is the task given to you before?"
Task?
Morita immediately thought of what it was, and he was indeed a little carried away just now, so he smiled: "Koji Suzuki was quite insistent at first, thinking that his part was science fiction, but I followed your suggestion and proposed a high copyright price, and he agreed." ”
Yuki Kusano smiled when she heard this.
Sure enough, if you give enough, you can succeed!
The mission that Yuki Kusano told Morita was about "Midnight Bell", and this was also an important part of Yuki Kusano's entire plan.
Speaking of Koji Suzuki's family, his "Midnight Bell" is indeed a science fiction according to what he thinks.
However, let's just put this to say, from the reader's point of view, it is the words he wrote, which in itself gives people a strong sense of horror.
In fact, horror and science fiction are two elements that are always combined, especially in film and television and literary works, most of which are like this.
Because what is it that makes human beings fearful?
Unknown!
Science fiction is indeed science fiction, but in order to attract readers, even if it is science or popular science, it must show enough 'unknowns', only in this way can readers feel curious and prefer to read such books.
Well, the unknown can easily produce fear, which is a very normal state of consciousness in human beings.
Yuki Kusano still remembers that Cthulhu was more popular on the Chinese Internet later, which was actually science fiction, Lovecraft, the ancestor of Cthulhu, originally wanted to write science fiction, but he thought that those science fiction were not too scary, and many of his works were actually writing about unknown alien creatures.
For example, "Color from the Stars", which was later made into "Color of the Stars", a very scary sci-fi film, and starring Nicolas Cage, the king of bad movies, but he played well in it.
And Koji Suzuki insists that his own is science fiction, this ...... Hit him with money!
So, the problem faced by Yuki Kusano and Morita is how to make this "Midnight Bell" pass on Fuji TV!
Then, a production committee is set up...... Of course, this is Yuki Kusano's operation.
There is no director of the current Film Business Bureau, what should I do?
......
"Did you hear that? The Film Business Bureau held a special meeting. ”
"What is the reason for this time? Didn't Director Kameyama all resign?"
"I don't know, maybe Morita is going to deal with Yuki Kusano?"
"Impossible. ”
Fuji TV is also a large company with more than 2,000 employees, and it is natural that there will be gossip when there is some wind and grass.
When the announcement of this special meeting was made, many people thought about it more.
But in fact, the main thing about this meeting is ...... Proposal!
President Dashan and President Xiaoting, both of them came to the Film Business Bureau.
At present, this department, which does not have a director, is the key object of competition between the two of them.
"Matrix" has been a great success so far, but this production is mainly the success of the first group of the production bureau, that is, Xiao Ting's.
What now?
"President, President, this is our latest plan. ”
Team leader Morita talked eloquently, and the plan of "Midnight Bell" was also placed in front of Dashan and Xiaoting.
So...
"Let's get it straight, how much are you going to want?" said Dashan first.
Morita immediately made an offer, "Two hundred million yen!"
Is it 200 million again?
Wait a minute, wasn't the previous "Love Letter" only 20 million?
But at this time, Xiao Ting's performance is very intriguing.
"200 million is nothing, but how much do you think this movie can get at the box office? If the box office is too low, who will be responsible?"
It's funny, Morita and Yuki Kusano were both originally Xiaoting's people, but now he has such an attitude. (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
