CHAPTER 93: THE AMAZING GONZO
"Tokyo Fortress" is essentially a work of cheating money, of course, there are also high and low postures for cheating money, and a clever posture of cheating money can make the deceived person cry and shout to send you money, and you can't do it if you don't accept it. The inferior posture of cheating money is both simple and complex, and there are many kinds at the same time, you can understand it by just a few examples, such as the movie version of "Where Did Dad Go", the movie version of "Havoc in Heaven", "Fuchun Mountain Residence" and the like.
However, the true meaning of cheating money lies in being able to cheat, and "Tokyo Fortress" and "Urakai Fortress" are, in a sense, works that are completely based on the reason of cheating money. The production of these two films can't be said to be inattentive, but a lot of ready-made things are taken out of the TV version, at most the background is a little more complicated, and then play with the light, in order to show the discipline, in the production of a few TV versions of the shots that have not appeared, add some charming trick branch plots, but in essence, he is still the TV version of the clip. This qiē, Murahama Shoji learned from Anno Hideaki. Now Gonzo's labor force is guaranteed, so the movie version can come out immediately after the TV version, and the anime otaku who has just finished watching "Tokyo Fortress" and "Tokyo Fortress 2 Puhai Fortress" is still immersed in the plot, and the movie version is struggling to hit their G spot again.
I have to say that there are still prerequisites for cheating money. If it weren't for the high quality of the TV version, probably no one would have watched the movie version. For example, if it weren't for the high ratings of the TV version of "Where Did You Going, Dad" form a topic, the movie version of "Where Did You Go Dad" have no box office. Like "Havoc in Heaven", which completely wins by filming time, it is simply a white wolf with empty gloves.
"Tokyo Fort" and "Urakai Fort" have a peculiar relationship, and in terms of story, they are in the same vein and the same background. Nominally, it belongs to two companies, and it is also a company from two different countries, which was created by Mitsumi Fukuda on the grounds that the two countries signed a cooperation contract in the cultural field for reasonable tax avoidance, so in many places, "Tokyo Fortress" and "Puhai Fortress" were not introduced at the same time. Taiwan, for example, only introduced "Tokyo Fortress", and China's Big 6 only broadcast "Puhai Fortress" and did not introduce "Tokyo Fortress" movies for release, but as a trade balance, it then allowed Shen Zhenghui's Xinghui Culture Communication Company in Hangzhou to import "Tokyo Fortress" to publish VCD and peripherals, and if there is a TV station to buy it, Shen Zhenghui can also resell the animation and film to the TV station.
Shen Zhenghui felt that he was dizzy in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and he didn't even know that his cartoon was going to be released, and if he counted the time, it was indeed almost, it was almost the National Day, and his parents in the 6th year called him and talked about the military parade that he was looking forward to!
However, when he thought of these two animated films, Shen Zhenghui thought of the highlight of Gonzo's production of Zuò this year, the prequel "World Air Battle Story" of "Battle Fairy Snow Wind", since he began to prepare for the filming of the TV series, Shen Zhenghui felt that he was too indifferent to this animated movie. But at this time, it is really inappropriate to call Fukuda Mitsumi again, and it is also inappropriate to call Liu Xin. Shen Zhenghui struggled for a while, and finally temporarily let go of his mind to immediately inquire about the progress of the movie.
He recovered from his thoughts, and saw Tomoaki Aonuma looking at him strangely, so he smiled slightly, "I remembered a lot of things at work, Gonzo, you know, President Fukuda and I have both invested." ”
"yes, I know." Tomoaki Aonuma nodded, and then asked with some excitement, "Why don't we go see this movie tomorrow?" ”
Does it contribute to the box office for Tokyo Fortress? Shen Zhenghui's heart moved, it was really good to change his mood, what Mitsumi Fukuda said to himself, he also needed time to digest it, and by the way, he observed the Taiwanese film market, which is also a serious matter. So he nodded, "But it's better to book your tickets in the evening." He said, "It's not convenient during the day, so we're going to see Kawashima too." ”
"Yes, I see." Tomoaki Aonuma's eyes flashed with excitement.
You Japanese just love watching anime. Shen Zhenghui said to himself in his heart.
……
The next day, I met Chai Zhiyi again, and rushed to Chai Zhiyi's manufacturing company together. According to her, now the crew is still preparing, and the actors are being trained in the company. So Tomoaki Aonuma and Fujido Xiangcheng also followed Shen Zhenghui. In the car, Chai Zhiyi also wanted to ask Shen Zhenghui how to arrange it at night, and Shen Zhenghui immediately replied that he wanted to watch a movie.
"Watching a movie?"
"Yes, the animated film produced by Gonzo, I see that Taiwan has already introduced it, so I want to go and see it."
"Mr. Shen likes cartoons?"
"No, we have an investment in Gonzo."
Chai Zhiyi showed a sudden realization expression, picked up the phone, "Do you need me to help you book tickets?" ”
"Then thank you, please help me book tickets for the evening, the general number of screenings is good, and I will observe the reaction of Taiwanese audiences to this movie by the way. Let me see, do you want to go to Fujido too? Seeing that Fujitang Xiangcheng nodded, Shen Zhenghui said, "Three tickets." ”
"Trouble Chairman Chai also ordered me two tickets." Followed by Iwasan Yuan said, Shen Zhenghui suddenly appeared compared to the last time he went to Hong Kong, he no longer needed to translate, which also shows that Iwayama Yuan is not a mediocre person. Iwayama Yuan looked at Shen Zhenghui, "I went to talk to scholars about the type of this film!" ”
"You're a hero!" Shen Zhenghui gave him a thumbs up and asked casually, "What about Hong Kong?" ”
"Hong Kong is more complicated, they will first test screen "Tokyo Fortress", and if the box office results are good, they will release "Puhai Fortress", how to put this depends on themselves." Iwayama was a little embarrassed.
Shen Zhenghui didn't care about this, what he was thinking about was whether the two films released in Japan would be released at the same time.
Chai Zhiyi's company is simply miserable, in Shen Zhenghui's view, just looking at the buildings and decoration, he probably thought it was a township enterprise. But then he reflected on his mentality, he couldn't use the standards of later generations and Japan as requirements, and the Japanese love action movie shooting company was not much better than Chai Zhiyi's company. The four beautiful men excavated by Chai Zhiyi came forward one by one to meet Shen Zhenghui and his party. The eyes of these young people who have not yet become famous still flashed with a certain mixture of excitement and unease. Kazumi Kawashima is in contact with a specialized trainer for Taiwanese accents. She is most grateful for Shen Zhenghui's arrival, although Queens has an office in Taiwan and an agent who is taking care of her, but the girl seems to be more and more sensitive in an unfamiliar environment.
Aonuma Tomoaki replaced Shen Zhenghui to do the work of reassuring and encouraging Kawashima and Tsumi, and as a senior, Aonuma Tomoaki also received Kawashima and Tsumi's sincere respect. Although the TV series has not yet started filming, Kazumi Kawashima seems to have anticipated that his starting point will start from outside Japan, and it is still impossible to say how good this step will be, but Shen Zhenghui expressed strong confidence in her.
The training carried out by the so-called four beautiful men during this period is to eat high-end dishes, wear high-end clothes, go to golf courses, bowling alleys and other places where rich people gather to work, observe the behavior of rich people, and strive to truly show the temperament of a rich second generation in the TV series, instead of acting as a violent ** silk.
For this point, Shen Zhenghui agrees. A lot of the problems are in the details. Chai Zhiyi's funds are very tight, and he wants to arrange for the crew to go to Tokyo, which Shen Zhenghui welcomes with both hands, and even for the investment in the TV series, he is willing to intervene more, anyway, he can earn it back in the future. It's just that after these four guys become famous, when the small temple can't keep the big god, what will Chai Zhiyi do, Shen Zhenghui is looking forward to it.
After carefully understanding the operation of Chai Zhiyi's company, the preparation of the crew and the expected plan of shooting, Shen Zhenghui completed his task, simply ate a meal, and learned a little more about the screenwriter and selection of Taiwanese TV dramas, Shen Zhenghui and his party left. After such a trip, he had a general understanding of the TV drama production in Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. In terms of impression, Japan's TV drama system is the most mature, and TV scripts have the most solid theme support - novels and comics have supported a sufficient theme library, and many scripts have been tested by the market, so Japanese TV dramas are in order. The disadvantage is that in order to save money and recoup funds, the shooting and broadcasting cycle is too long. That's why Shen Zhenghui didn't do that when he was filming himself, because he had money.
Hong Kong TV dramas rely more on individual screenwriters and directors, and they are not supported by a vast theme library, so the level is uneven. There are fierce people who can support a period, but the progress of the times ruthlessly eliminates people, plus various factors such as the market, so the works of Jin Yong, Gu Long and others have been adapted again and again.
Taiwan is like a combination of Hong Kong and Japan, and in a way, it is like a big 6, and when they can easily cheat money in a certain way, they will not hesitate to promote this way.
Taiwanese films are facing a more crisis than TV dramas. This impression is felt by Shen Zhenghui sitting in the cinema, when I haven't watched the animated movie "Tokyo Fortress" on TV, all kinds of bloody scenes can still give people a shocking feeling, especially the sound effects, the flight of the plane, the launch of missiles, the impact of air currents, etc., this qiē can only be felt in the cinema. Even after watching the TV version, when sitting in the movie theater, Shen Zhenghui was made to pound by the beating images on the screen and the real indistinguishable sound effects. Especially this bloody love story, it is simply a killer of young people, the black head in the entire movie theater, silently listening to the dubbed dialogue in the movie, Shen Zhenghui feels that he can not worry about the box office at all.
When he came out of the movie theater, listened to the young people around him excitedly discussing the plot and the protagonist, and then looked at the movie theater full of foreign movies and Hong Kong movie posters, Taiwanese movies shrunk in a corner, Shen Zhenghui felt that Mitsumi Fukuda made a lot of sense, this is the best time to enter! In particular, it is the Japanese who enter. Isn't Taiwan's current president a Japanese?
Tomoaki Aonuma didn't know about Shen Zhenghui's leap of thought at all, she was still stuck in the movie, "It's so beautiful," she said, "I'm going to see the Japanese version when I go back to Tokyo." ”
Shen Zhenghui smiled.
"I don't know how "Urakai Fortress" is, can Japan see it?" Tomoaki Aonuma said.
Fujido Kazuki was a little puzzled, "Is it so easy to fly a plane?" ”
With these two films of this level opening the way, Shen Zhenghui suddenly began to look forward to the release of "World Air Battle Story".
