Chapter 195: Tokyo Raiders (Part II)
Matsuoka Jiro stared at the script for a while and gave up, not that he couldn't recognize all the kanji, but he was confused and didn't know what to say. But Fujiwara Ryuya, this guy is quite good in Chinese**, and his eyebrows are dancing when he sees it, and his face is full of admiration.
Is Chinese popular in Yueben? Yang Lin thought strangely. What he didn't know was that in the eighties, there was a wave of high school learning Chinese. Tide. At that time, the mainland had just been reformed and opened up, and those far-sighted business elites immediately saw that this was an excellent opportunity to enter the mainland, and they worked hard to learn everything about the mainland, so that they could have a sufficient share of that vast market and get a piece of the big cake.
Matsuoka Jiro took his eyes off the script, and saw that Yang Linzheng and Matsuda Seiko were very close, talking and laughing in a low voice, looking very happy. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
Fujiwara Ryu also read most of the script, and looked at Yang Lin excitedly: "I have long heard that Yang Sang is Hong Kong's 'entertainment talent', and you are proficient in writing opera scripts and filming. ”
Yang Lin toasted him with a glass of wine and said with a smile: "From your professional point of view, will this script be a box office hit if it is filmed?" ”
Matsuoka Jiro immediately looked nervously at Fujiwara Ryuya, he didn't have that level himself, but he believed in Fujiwara Ryuya. He is a little excited now, thinking about it, if this script is really good, it is also very good to cooperate with Yang Lin to make a movie. From childhood to adulthood, all the light and all the favor were taken away by the brother who was ten years older than him, and he Matsuoka Jiro was just a useless waste in the eyes of everyone who ate and waited for death, and no one took him seriously.
He didn't want to fight with his brother for anything, he loved his brother, and he knew that he was indeed inferior to his wise brother, but he was unwilling! Unwilling to be ignored, unwilling to be left out in the cold, he wants to prove his existence and show his worth!
Perhaps, now is an opportunity?
"Mr. Matsuoka, what do you think?" Yang Lin looked at Matsuoka Jiro and asked with a smile. He knows very well the psychology of these second ancestors, there is no hope of inheriting the family business, there is no shortage of food or clothing, but they **, they don't want to just be silverfish all the time. Even if it's really a silverfish, it's a silverfish that can fly and scream to get everyone's attention.
Matsuoka Jiro didn't think about it for too long, and he didn't know if he really had the courage or a smooth brain, so he spread his hands and said, "I'm willing to cooperate, but I don't have any money." ”
This kid is so frankly cute.
Yang Lin shook his head amusedly: "No one cares about money, you don't care, and I don't care, so don't worry, even if I invest all of it, I won't just give you a pitiful share." The producers of this film are the two of us, you are in charge of the distribution channels, and the production will be handed over to me, and tomorrow I will negotiate with the group of three about investment, but no matter what, you will have 30% of the shares. What do you think? ”
Now it's like fishing, it is the primary bait stage, so Yang Lin will not be stingy and not even throw out a bone. As long as Matsuoka Jiro eats this bait, he will bite this hook, and it will not be so easy to break free in the future.
Matsuoka Jiro frowned and thought that he was thinking about it, but Yang Lin saw Fujiwara Ryu next to him and nodded slightly, it seems that Matsuoka Jiro really trusts this Fujiwara Ryu.
Affirmed by Fujiwara Ryuya, Matsuoka Jiro obviously had confidence and confidence, waved his hand and said: "Then it's decided for the time being, you can choose the director and actor of the whole book, and you can find whichever one you like." "The second prince of Dongbao Company still has some confidence to say such arrogant words.
"No," Yang Lin shook his head: "This drama will be filmed in Hong Kong, and the director will also be Hong Kong, which will better reflect the social background of this film." As for the actors, they can be a joint effort between the two sides, striving to have a large audience in Hong Kong and in this book. "What are you kidding, since the halo on your head has crossed over, buddies naturally want to "take advantage of the strengths of each family" and return it to your own use. Is it ours or ours, if it's not ours, it must become ours, if you don't turn your classics into classics of Hong Kong movies, where will buddies have a sense of achievement?
Matsuoka Jiro pouted indifferently: "Just do as you say." But you give me 30% of the shares, I seem to be a little a**? ”
This guy doesn't do his job, but he's not a fool, and he still knows how to settle accounts. People contribute money and efforts, and they just contact the theater chain of Yueben, and they will share 30%? Why don't people go to the theater to contact themselves? You know, 30 percent is in the net profit.
Yang Lin picked up the wine glass and touched it with Matsuoka Jiro and drank it all, and said, "We. There is an ancient saying in the country, which is called the meaning of friends having money, which means that between friends, money can be exchanged for nothing, and it is nothing. But you, Mr. Matsuoka, are not short of money at all, so I can only help you somewhere else. The number of shares does not mean anything, it is not that I have a large share and will not let you speak, on the contrary, as long as you have needs, I can cooperate with you unconditionally. Only when there are more friends, the road can be wider and wider, and friends are the foundation of the career. ”
It's a small example, and it won't kill you.
Matsuoka Jiro was very moved, at least he looked very moved, he crawled over from the other half of the table, grabbed Yang Lin's arm, and his face was full of excitement: "You friend, I, Matsuoka Jiro, have made a deal!" Beware, as long as you are in this book, you can come to me for anything! Come, drink! ”
Seiko Matsuda blinked wide-eyed and looked at Jiro Matsuoka in disbelief. This guy is notoriously bad tempered and difficult to communicate, and everyone in Tokyo avoids this guy, why is he getting along with Yang Lin so happily like an excited child today?
At this time, Matsuoka Jiro's entourage pulled the door and said in a respectful whisper: "Young master, meet Miyazaki Jun of Toei Animation." ”
What they said was Chinese, and Yang Lin couldn't understand it, but fortunately, Matsuda Seiko was by his side and translated softly.
Matsuoka Jiro said unhappily: "Is this person annoying?" Isn't it just that I drank too much and said a few drunken words last time, which targeted me? Drive him away, drive him away, come to Yang Sang, let's continue to drink. ”
Jun Miyazaki? Manga master Jun Miyazaki?
Yang Lin hurriedly called out to the entourage and asked Matsuoka Jiro: "Why is Jun Miyazaki looking for you?" "If you have the opportunity, you should get acquainted with this "national treasure" in the comic industry, which is not bad.
"That fool," Jiro Matsuoka pouted, "There was a time when this guy somehow approached me through a relationship and wanted to set up a joint studio with Tokuma Shoya. To put it nicely, isn't it just that you're about to go bankrupt and can't get along, and you want to find a rich backstage to rely on? At that time, I probably drank too much, and I agreed to him casually, who knew that this guy was targeting me, looking for me left and right, annoying. But you must know that it is true that Tokuma Company is the major shareholder of Tokuma Bookstore, but Toho Company has the final say on my father and my eldest brother, why should I ask Tokuma Bookstore to invest 100 million yuan for them to play? ”
Yang Lin almost jumped up, Jun Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli has not yet been established? I am very familiar with Miyazaki Jun Yang Lin, this one is too famous. Speaking of this manga, the one who doesn't know the name of Jun Miyazaki? It seems that after Toei Animation ran away, this guy received funding from Tokuma Shoya, and together with the team of "Valley of the Wind", he established Studio Ghibli, opening a new chapter in the most glorious page of the manga industry.
Yang Lin thought about it, and said like Matsuoka Jiro: "How about a favor?" ”
Matsuoka Jiro was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand magnificently: "No problem, have you taken a fancy to this Miyazaki?" To say that this guy's ability is still good, I also like his comics. What do you say, get him to Hong Kong? ”
Yang Lin hurriedly shook his head, it was a matter of time before he went to Hong Kong, but it would never be now. He lowered his voice and said to Jiro Matsuoka: "I plan to fund this Miyazaki Jun to set up a studio, you can help me control it, how about being a general manager?" ”
Jiro Matsuoka was taken aback: "Are you crazy? Comics are quite profitable, but the cycle is too long, the return is too slow, and it's not cost-effective, you have to think clearly. ”
Yang Lin looked at him in surprise, it was really surprising that this kid could say such professional words.
Matsuoka Jiro looked at Yang Lin's surprised expression, and said proudly: "Look down on me, don't you?" I'm Jing. A top student of the Faculty of Manga at Tosei University. ”
Yang Lin was even more surprised at this time, this kid is still a top student of that famous aristocratic school? On second thought, I can't go to that school if you have money. "Hey, this is an opportunity, Jun Miyazaki, this kid definitely has the ability, I have watched all of "Valley of the Wind", and he has great potential. I funded him to set up a studio to make animated films, and you managed it, so that the professional counterpart could make the best use of it, how about it? Yang Lin tried his best to encourage Matsuoka Jiro. As long as you think about it, you can grasp Jun Miyazaki's team in your hands, and you will have the opportunity to take down Huang Yulang in the future, and the animation world in Asia will basically be your own. Don't underestimate cartoons, especially in Yueben, comics are really at the level of "national treasures", and the top few local films that occupy the box office list in the history of Yueben movies are almost all anime.
Jiro Matsuoka was really moved this time. If agreeing to Yang Lin to make a movie is just to prove his existence in front of his father and brother, then being able to manage a comic company is a dream he never thought of. It's not that he doesn't have a chance, but he has no money, and he can usually eat and wear without worrying about doing nonsense, but if you ask him to take out 10 million yuan, he can't take it out. Because the family's control over him is too strict, it will arouse his strong rebellious psychology.
Matsuoka Jiro bit his lip and looked at Yang Lin: "It's none of my business to lose money, the salary will be opened." ”
Yang Lin smiled: "Deal." ”
Matsuoka Jiro waved his hand and said to the attendant, "Let him in." ”
Yang Linqiang jumped patiently and looked at the door.
In any case, we must also grasp this "manga national treasure" in our hands.
"The Land of Comics"? Dude will give you a draw from the bottom of the kettle! (To be continued.) )
