39. Box Office and Taiwan Market (Part II)
"Do you think she'll work with us?" Liu Xin asked with some concern.
"It depends on how the follow-up of our film goes, although I am very confident that she will give in. , but we can't make it too obvious. Fukuda Mitsumi coped with Liu Xin's words, and at the same time began to flip through her notebook, and then took out the phone, "It is necessary to put a little pressure on her, since you have come to Taiwan, it is not bad to know a little more of the local snake." She began to assign tasks to her subordinates, asking them to contact more bigwigs in Taiwan's entertainment industry.
Unlike Mitsumi Fukuda, who is engaged in a business struggle in Taiwan, Shen Zhenghui encounters another kind of trouble.
As soon as Mitsumi Fukuda left, Shen Zhenghui received a call from Murahama Shoji, saying that Hideaki Anno was looking for him and wanted to meet him in Gonzo.
This sudden arrival surprised Shen Zhenghui, "Why did he see me?" ”
Shoji Murahama explained on the phone, "Didn't President Fukuda sign a copyright agreement with Hideaki Anno for "EVA"? She has the independent rights to adapt "Eva" independently, and Mr. Anno has already read the script of "Re-Take" that you are preparing to produce Zuò, and he is very dissatisfied and wants to talk about this script. ”
Shen Zhenghui felt inexplicable, what else did he have if the copyright was sold, "Shouldn't President Fukuda be contacted for this?" ”
Murahama Shoji also felt depressed, the production of "Re-Take" was going to be handed over to Gonzo, this is a big cake, if it can't be done, it will not only be the loss of Mitsumi Fukuda and Shen Zhenghui, "Isn't President Fukuda not in Tokyo?" "I contacted her, and she said that these things are left to you." ”
What nonsense, Lao Tzu doesn't have any shares in Gonzo. Shen Zhenghui really wanted to scold Murahama Shoji who disturbed his "script adaptation" on the phone, but obviously he couldn't do this, so he took a deep breath, and Shen Zhenghui asked, "Then when and where will we meet?" ”
"If you're free," said Murahama Shoji, "I'll meet at Gonzo in the afternoon, at two o'clock." ”
Shen Zhenghui looked at the clock in his room, half past eleven, according to this time, he was going to rush to Gonzo immediately after eating. Murahama Shoji apparently just informed himself of the past, and the time was obviously set by them.
"An hour late, three o'clock." Shen Zhenghui said on the phone, "It's too late for me here." ”
"Okay." Murahama agreed hesitantly.
Shen Zhenghui put down the phone, rubbed his face vigorously, and took out a stack of storyboards of "Re-Take" on the bookshelf.
"Is there something wrong?" Tomoaki Aonuma, who was wearing an apron, poked his head out of the kitchen, "I'll leave after dinner." As she spoke, she brought out two omelette meals from the kitchen and said with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I'm not a good cook." ”
Shen Zhenghui sat down on the table with the storyboard, "It's okay," he said, picking up the spoon and spooning the meal with a lot of concern, "The matter of the animation company, Fukuda is not here, only I went." ”
"Is it a sequel to Eva?" Tomoaki Aonuma was quite excited, "I really want to see the release of "Re-Take" as soon as possible, Asuka is very pitiful! ”
"Isn't Ling Boli pitiful?" Shen Zhenghui asked rhetorically and swallowed a mouthful of rice, "This, it's very good, your level is very high!" ”
"It's far worse than my mother!" Tomoaki Aonuma said, "Rei is indeed miserable! She had a sympathetic look on her face, "If only they could both be happy." ”
"It's impossible to be happy, and then EVA wouldn't have been so popular." Shen Zhenghui pouted and said, continuing to stuff the rice into his mouth, "I have to think about how to convince this father of "EVA" later. ”
Aonuma Tomoaki looked at Shen Zhenghui with tenderness, and at this time, her phone rang. She stood up apologetically, went to the side and answered the phone, saying the words "yes", "yes", "no" and "sorry" incessantly, and it took a long time for Tomoaki Aonuma to hang up the phone and come over and sit down on the edge of the table again.
"What's going on? Who is it? Shen Zhenghui frowned and asked.
"It's the agent," Tomoaki Aonuma replied with some concern, "Several variety shows invited me to participate, and the agent came to ask my opinion. ”
Shen Zhenghui sneered, "Didn't Mitsumi Fukuda tell him?" You don't have to participate in any of these shows. ”
"The agent is also good for me," Tomoaki Aonuma explained, "and appearing on variety shows is also necessary to maintain popularity and accumulate contacts in the entertainment industry." ”
"You're not an ordinary star......" Shen Zhenghui pouted, and was about to continue, when Tomoaki Aonuma's mobile phone rang again. She immediately stood up apologetically again and picked up the phone.
Shen Zhenghui frowned vigorously, "If it's still that guy, tell him not to call again!" He shouted at Tomoaki Aonuma with his anger.
Qingnuma Tomoaki covered the microphone a little embarrassed, and the words "yes" and "yes" kept talking, and under Shen Zhenghui's angry gaze, he finally finished the call.
"What's going on?" Shen Zhenghui said angrily, "Do you want Mitsumi Fukuda to tell that agent to get out?" ”
Tomoaki Aonuma was embarrassed, "It's President Fukuda," she said very embarrassedly, "She asked me to prepare and rush to Taiwan as much as possible." ”
"Huh?" Shen Zhenghui's eyes widened, "Did she say anything?" ”
"It seems like a movie promotion or something."
"So you're going alone?" Shen Zhenghui asked incomprehensibly.
"It seems that I want to go with several juniors in the company." Tomoaki Aonuma replied.
"What?" Shen Zhenghui frowned, several girls currently signed by Queens are only models and have not participated in any movies and TV series, and the publicity in Taiwan actually asked them to go too, what does this mean? Shen Zhenghui couldn't figure out Mitsumi Fukuda's intentions, so he had to ignore nothing and concentrate on preparing for the meeting with Hideaki Anno.
……
"Why did you suddenly decide to engage in this propaganda in Taiwan?" Liu Xin asked.
"It's not sudden at all, don't you see that Mr. Cai and Mr. Wu are very interested? Especially Mr. Tsai, the preparations are all done, anyway, the company's people don't have anything to do in Tokyo, and a trip to Taiwan is considered a tour. Mitsumi Fukuda replied to Liu Xin's question.
"Really? Is this the only reason? Liu Xin looked very skeptical.
"Well, it's also for others to see, since there is such an opportunity, so why not take advantage of it?"
"Is it too late?"
"Haha, don't worry." Mitsumi Fukuda smiled and clapped her hands, "Not everything requires precise preparation, and for fans, sometimes they are more surprised by not being prepared. ”
……
"The box office has exceeded NT$150 million, and the heroine of "The Cruel History of Beichuan High School" is about to arrive in Taiwan to thank Taiwanese audiences."
"The former ** information film actress arrived in Taiwan and will get close to Taiwanese audiences in Taipei."
"The heroine of "The Cruel History of Beichuan High School" may be invited to participate in a Taiwanese variety show, and "I Guess" may become the most likely."
The hype in newspapers and magazines is also what Taiwanese theaters are willing to see, and the more hype, the higher the box office of the movie. The people of Taiwan have a special affection for Japan, and they also have special feelings for Japan's ** information film actresses, and they are not afraid to express this feeling. For example, Ai Iijima has a lot of fans in Taiwan, although most of them have not seen the ** information film played by Tomoaki Aonuma, but the title of ** information actress makes them have a certain empathy, and all the emotions for the ** information actress are transferred to the body of Tomoaki Aonuma, although it may not be expressed in public, but it is still possible to buy a movie ticket for "The Cruel History of Beichuan High School", plus the box office of the film itself is popular, which shows the quality of the film. Under the influence of the Matthew effect, the box office has risen higher and higher.
As a result, Tomoaki Aonuma was treated by thousands of people at Taoyuan Airport in Taiwan, and Tomoaki Aonuma was surprised by her popularity in a foreign country, and her gentle smile according to her nature made more people have some kind of fantasy.
Traditional culture is not boasted in Taiwan, not to mention that it is not only a Aonuma Tomoaki who has arrived, but a group of Japanese girls.
After the meeting, handshake, movie promotion meeting and so on, even if Aonuma Tomoaki was tired and tired, he maintained a gentle expression, and even greeted the "fans" present in Chinese, which made the Taiwanese audience more and more crazy.
The box office continued to rise to NT$200 million, which was almost a huge hit. When Tomoaki Aonuma stepped onto the screen of "I Guess" and responded to Wu Zongxian's ** in Chinese, the people of Taiwan boiled like a festival.
The box office of NT$300 million seems to be an ironclad fact, and now it's up to see if it can break through the 400 million mark, no, with the passage of time, 400 million seems to be completely expected, and 500 million doesn't know if it can be reached. All the theaters are looking forward to it.
At the same time, Mitsumi Fukuda finally received a call from Chai Zhiyi, "President Fukuda, I agree in principle with your cooperation plan, but can you talk about the details?" ”
At the same time, in Japan, the billion-yen box office has also been reached.
And a few days earlier, Shen Zhenghui, who was in Tokyo at the time, was sitting nervously in the conference room of Gonzo, next to him sat the equally nervous Murahama Shoji, and across from him sat the Japanese animation master Anno Hideaki, and next to him was the famous animation industry, cartoonist Yoshiyuki Sadamoto.
Shen Zhenghui took a deep breath, ready to use all his abilities to convince the two original authors of "EVA".
