Chapter 213
Just like Brother Chen Kai, he was full of confidence to fight with Wuji at the beginning, but Brother Chen Kai advanced the premiere date by one day, plus he was not in China at that time, Bao Minxing and others lacked confidence, and suddenly moved the premiere of martial arts back by ten days, otherwise Yue Song would definitely have to fight with him with a bayonet!
It's the mule or the horse that comes out to slip around, this is Yue Song's attitude.
Since you Director Chen Da don't like your buddy, why do you have to lick your face and get close to you?
Anyway, it's already offended, so it's better to simply offend it completely!
However, this Hu Ge is quite talented, and Yue Song plans to take advantage of this matter to calm down and woo him to see if he can recruit him into the studio.
While Yue Song was pondering about recruiting people, good news also came from Xiangjiang-
After the cumulative box office of 24 million in the previous two weeks, the box office of this week is 9 million, and the total box office is 35 million!
There is absolutely no problem with this number exceeding the previous target of 40 million, although it is not as good as the record of 56 million set by the previous hurricane rescue, but it is also a good start for the beginning of the 06 year.
What's more, this is only the first part of the martial arts trilogy, and the next two will also be released this year, and the total box office will undoubtedly surpass the 115 million Hong Kong box office record set by the Infernal Affairs trilogy that year.
In this regard, both the Xiangjiang media and the people of Xiangjiang are convinced.
There is no way, Yue Song's rise is too strong, and the strong ones even make people unable to find an opportunity to suppress him. Even Xiangjiang's entertainment companies have tried their best to get in touch with him, hoping to work together once, not to mention the media, this kind of popular fried chicken must not be offended.
In addition to the bigwigs in the entertainment industry, the predecessors in the film and television industry who really have a decisive influence in Xiangjiang have also expressed their opinions under the interview of the media, saying that they are very optimistic about Yue Song, which is diametrically opposed to the mainland.
The follow-up people just wanted to make a good relationship, but the kindness they sent out was not fake. Yue Song smiled in his heart. After some comparison, I finally came to a conclusion.
Compared with a group of fake and pretentious artists in the mainland film industry, the Xiangjiang entertainment industry is more pragmatic from top to bottom.
It's impossible to say which one performs better. But to push the boundaries of cinema. It must be more advantageous on the Xiangjiang side.
Come to think of it. Yue Song is also a little helpless in his heart, just with the gloomy atmosphere of the mainland film and television circle, he has a big market. Don't even think about developing it!
Yue Song's intuition told him that at least for three to five years, the mainland film and television industry will maintain the status quo, and perhaps the total box office of films will increase year by year throughout the year, but there will be no major changes in the general direction and development.
Thinking of this, Yue Song made up his mind and planned to speed up his pace, at least not to let this group of big men in the mainland film and television industry drag him down.
Anyone who dares to hinder his progress, no matter who or what his identity is, Yue Song will sweep the other party into the dust of history with a thunderous momentum!
As the saying goes, good things come in pairs, and the popularity of the first martial arts series in the mainland and Xiangjiang also drove the box office in South Korea and Japan.
From January 1st to 16th, half a month, in Japan alone, the box office of the martial arts first series has reached 2.8 billion yen, South Korea is slightly inferior, but there are also 2.7 million moviegoers, also ranking first in the year-to-date box office list of the two countries.
Affected by this, Asian countries have coincidentally revised the schedule and released the first martial arts series in advance, among which the most influential is Treasure Island.
Less than a month before the hurricane rescue released at the end of last year, another movie starring Yue Song was released, which also caused a lot of controversy on the island.
Hurricane Rescue was operated by Emperor and distributed by Treasure Island Studios, and as of the time of the next draw, the total box office was about 12 million, which even exceeded the 10 million of the island's highest-grossing film, A Cloud in the Sky.
If you want to talk about such a box office, not to mention that Yue Song can't look down on it, even Xiangjiang looks down on it, which shows that Baodao's film industry has been sluggish in recent years.
No one expected that at the beginning of 06, a martial arts - starting from scratch, completely detonated the film market of Treasure Island in just a few days!
After the first week, the total box office in a single week is 8.5 million!
This figure even surpassed last year's second-place box office on the island, which received only 8.4 million last year.
With a movie that drove the film market on the island, it is not surprising that the first martial arts series caused a sensation on the island.
Yue Song had even already planned, and was ready to wait for the things on the Japanese side to be resolved, so he made a special trip to Treasure Island.
No matter how small the market is, this is also a member of the natural Chinese film industry, and Yue Song will never let it go.
It was also in his apartment that he hid in Masami Nagasawa, and he ...... this most popular jade girl in Japan in recent years When the desire to die and collapse every day, Hideyuki Takai, the president of Toho, finally couldn't hold it back and called again.
He was really forced to be helpless, who let Yue Song's back hands come one after another, surging like a stormy wave, making him too busy to take care of himself?
On the one hand, the first part of the martial arts is making great progress in the film market, and on the other hand, Shochiku Co., Ltd. continues to release the wind to the outside world, saying that it intends to make a movie adapted from roaming, and the specific goal has not yet been decided, but it intends to cooperate with Yue Song, a popular star from China, and will have the closest communication at that time.
This news made Hideyuki Takai unbearable, and finally he didn't have to endure it anymore.
Chairman Ko Matsuoka personally called and inquired about the matter, and repeatedly emphasized that Shochiku must not be allowed to go ahead!
Hideyuki Takai hung up the phone, roaring like an angry lion, and kept scolding Matsuoka for being an incompetent moth.
He couldn't be clearer about what Matsuoka Gong was thinking, because he was about to retire and didn't want to get into any trouble before he retired, especially the outside world about the "Toho and Yue Song cooperation could not be reached because of Shochiku", which made Matsuoka Gong sleepless at night.
Only in the shortest possible time will the matter be settled. In order to allow Matsuoka Gong to leave this position safely to retire.
In the process, he doesn't care what Hideyuki Takai thinks.
In this way, Takai Hideyuki seems to be very passive, and he originally made up his mind to win the directing rights of Rogue Kenshin, but now it seems that it can only be a void.
With a total investment of 4 billion yen, Toho accounted for the majority of the money, but in the end he didn't have much say in the end, so how could Takai Hideyuki be willing?
But Songzhu's side is pressing too hard, and new news is being released every day. It was as if Yue Song was about to make a deal with them. As the publisher of Yue Song's two consecutive works, Toho stood by and watched, Takai Hideyuki himself could endure it, but Toho's board of directors couldn't wait.
When Matsuoka called for the second time. After the wording suddenly became harsh. Takai knows. The tide is over.
Helpless, Gao Jing had no choice but to call Yue Song's contact number.
When the phone was connected, Yue Song was enjoying the most intimate service of Masami Nagasawa. He took a deep and comfortable breath while talking to Hideyuki Takai in a nonchalant manner.
Masami Nagasawa turned her back to Yue Song and sat on his lower abdomen, up and down, the pleasure of the tide made her unable to suppress herself, so she could only stuff a pair of panties in her mouth, and suppressed the urge to shout out loud in her heart.
The tight and slightly dry feeling made Yue Song feel very comfortable, and before he could really possess Masami Nagasawa, going through the back door became his only choice.
And Masami Nagasawa also has a bit of a taste of practice makes perfect, and she can already complete a series of tasks independently without Yue Song taking the initiative.
Both of them had a good time, but they were bitter about Hideyuki Takai on the other end of the phone, and he clearly felt that something was wrong, because Yue Song on the other side didn't say anything before and after, as if he was drunk.
Finally waited for him to finish talking about covering his face, and was about to get to the point, when he heard Yue Song gasp, and then ...... The phone was hung up!
Takai Yingxing's face turned blue and white for a while, and he called again after half a ring, but Yue Song refused to answer.
This time, he was really anxious, so he could only grab the phone on the table, press the replay button over and over again, and keep calling Yue Song.
It wasn't until two hours later that the phone was finally connected, and Takai Hideyuki heard Yue Song's lazy voice coming over: "President Takai, is there something wrong?" ”
Hideyuki Takai was patient and said another nonsense, which brought up the question of the director of Rogue Kenshin.
In his words, it seems that because of his efforts and persuasion, the board of directors finally decided to agree to Yue Song as the director of the play.
Yue Songpi smiled twice, "President Takai, will this hurt the national pride of Dongbao employees?" If this incident affects the normal diplomatic relations between the two countries, I will be a national sinner......"
Hideyuki Takai was furious in his heart, what bullshit national pride? Just because you're a kid, you also want to affect the relationship between the two countries? You can't think too much of yourself, right?
However, there is an old saying in Huaxia that is good, people are swords, I am fish and meat, Gao Jing, as an old devil, also knows a lot about this saying, of course he knows that Yue Song is putting on a shelf, to put it bluntly, he wants to make inches, and take the opportunity to take more advantage from Dongbao.
The two had a verbal battle on the phone, and the final result was no suspense - Takai was defeated!
After some tossing, Yue Song not only got the directing rights of Rogue Kenshin, but also took the opportunity to modify the ratio of investment and box office dividends!
The total investment is still 4 billion yen, but this time the investors have been replaced by two, Yue Song's personal studio and Toho Co., Ltd. are half of the family, and the box office dividends are also half of the shares.
If it weren't for Yue Song's promise that he would use the money to shoot the Rogue Kenshin trilogy in order to make more profits, Takai Hideyuki even doubted that if he agreed to Yue Song's conditions, he would not be impeached by the board of directors for this matter.
In fact, Yue Song was preparing to shoot a trilogy from the beginning, and he also had enough experience in this regard, and judging from the chapters and content of the rogue Kenshin's manga, how could a mere movie show the essence of this comic?
Now that he has the directing rights, he can confidently and boldly process them.
Not to mention anything else, the anti-war ideas in the trilogy must be emphasized, and besides, this is the side that has been shown many times in the comics, and he is not contrary to the ideas of the original work.
As soon as the agreement between the two was reached, Hideyuki Takai couldn't wait to release the news.
The next day, the filming and casting of Rogue Kenshin spread throughout the Japanese entertainment industry in an instant.
There are not no people who oppose it, especially for the fact that the director is Chinese, no matter how you say that this is also a complete Japanese movie, and the time of the film is so sensitive, what if the other party makes a four-like?
It's like finding a Japanese to shoot a film about the Republic of China, and the Chinese side will find it difficult to accept.
Considering the relationship between the two countries and historical factors, Takai didn't dare to reveal too much, but said that although Yue Song served as the director, the rest of the crew were Japanese, and there would never be strange things like the four dislikes.
As for Yue Song himself, he also sold well, and claimed to the reporter who interviewed him that what he was concerned about was the action scenes of the play, and the rest would be completed by the Japanese assistant director.
This news calmed the sensitive nerves of the Japanese to the greatest extent, and also made many people begin to be interested in this play, after all, Yue Song's skills have been fully recognized by the Japanese martial arts industry, coupled with the influence of Hurricane Rescue and the first part of the martial arts, the Japanese generally still agree with his guidance of action scenes.
Especially when he learned that he would play the role of Kiyojuro Hikoko, the master of Kenshin of the Scarlet Village, Yue Song's fans in Japan were like ushering in a grand festival, and they published statements such as "Good happiness! "The elder brother is the most powerful master".
But the show doesn't end there.
On the day of January 20th, Toho announced that it would launch an audition for the role of Kenshin Scarlet Village, the male protagonist of Rogue Kenshin, hoping to select a character that best meets the standards of the original work.
There are also different opinions on this, the senior directors of the Japanese film and television industry feel that it is unnecessary to do this, who stipulates that the actor must be the same dwarf as the original book? This has too much to do with the image of the Japanese!
But the younger generation doesn't see it that way, as long as it's a Japanese who has seen Rogue Kenshin, they all express their support.
Especially in the eyes of a group of dead houses and fans, only the thin and short little Kenshin is the most in line with the Kenshin in their minds!
Because this incident has become more and more sensational, the entire Japanese entertainment industry has been involved, and many artists have also volunteered, hoping to play the role of Kenshin Scarlet Village. (To be continued......)
