Chapter 110: Preview Screening

Although he is extremely stingy, Dennis, who is always the first to make money, can naturally understand Zhou Xiao's thoughts.

SMAP got into so much trouble, but the reason why Janis didn't throw them away was not because SMAP could make money. So Zhou Xiao's words can be said to be quite effective, yes, the company can only block SMAP in promotional activities, and as for the TV series co-produced with Matsu Takako soon, in this case, it will be difficult for Kimura's momentum to be suppressed, and the amount of this single is not bad.

And what did Genesys get? With the current popularity of SMAP, coupled with the topicality of such big news and TV series, I believe that SMAP in this period can casually brush hundreds of thousands of sales, for the company, that is hundreds of millions of income, if it is over one million, then there will even be hundreds of millions of income, as for the things paid, in the case of ready-made new songs, the capital investment will be reduced a lot, which can be said to be a profitable business.

Jingzi shook her head: "I have to say that you kid really found a good time......"

"Isn't this still forced...... Don't worry, if you have any needs in the future, I will definitely help. Zhou Xiao said with an embarrassed look.

"Don't say that, let's also have a fair deal, I won't lose a cent of the songs you give them after they are released, and when the TV series of Meteor Trip is filmed in the future, the same will be true for the script and the original book." Keiko Road.

"That's too much Sister Xiexie." Zhou Xiaodao.

Zhou Xiao, who came out of Jingzi's place, instantly collapsed, although his goal was achieved, but he was not very happy, talking to this kind of woman and doing things, it was a transaction from beginning to end without any friendship, this kind of pure business practice may be the norm in the shopping mall, but as a dead otaku, it is difficult to get used to this kind of transaction.

Finally got this side done. Zhou Xiao immediately contacted SMAP to discuss the recording.

The arrangement of "shijie's only flower" is relatively simple, because there is a ready-made original song, so Zhou Xiao has already prepared everything when he wrote the song, and after agreeing on the time and place with the five SMAP people, this matter is equivalent to being completely decided.

As for propaganda? It's a pity, it's a pity, the first single that Zhou Xiao participated in the production of in his life is going to run naked again this time, and he is pulling the national group SMAP together.

In addition to SMAP, Zhou Xiao also got a big deal about the movie, and "A Liter of Tears", which has been completely finished in post-production, has finally begun to enter the process of contacting the release. The first thing that was arranged was a test screening.

In addition to several film companies, including Daying, there are also non-governmental companies such as the Broadcasting Ethics Association that control film censorship, of course, Zhou Xiao doesn't care about film censorship at all, this movie has a very positive outlook, there is no overrun at all, the only thing that worries people is whether they will cry and faint a few when they are released.

Zhou Xiao also took Yuko Ogura to participate in the internal test screening, and the two have not met much after the concert. On the one hand, Zhou Xiaozhen is busy, and on the other hand, Yuko Ogura gradually began to get busy after her debut.

The girl will become a very famous photo actress in the next few years, which Zhou Xiao can't stop even if he cares, at least for now. So he didn't have any obstacles to what Yuko Ogura was going to do, Zhou Xiao felt that at this time, it was the most urgent thing to seize the time to improve his strength and let himself have the weight to speak in the entertainment industry as soon as possible.

However, the movie test screening was that Zhou Xiao and Yuko Ogura had already made an appointment with Haode. So after determining the time, the two of them also arranged the time early.

After taking the girl's soft hand into the theater, Yuko Ogura hid behind Zhou Xiao and looked around curiously. And although Zhou Xiao experienced this kind of thing for the first time, he didn't care very much, because he knew very well that the people who came to this test screening were all behind-the-scenes staff of various film companies, even if they watched it one by one, there were few people who knew it, and it was in vain to watch it, and it was more important to pay attention to the results of zuihou.

They all sat down, the lights in the small theater dimmed, and the movie began.

The original one-liter tear had 90 minutes, and Zhou Xiao's version originally wanted to shoot 120 minutes, but the scissors invited by Uncle Inoue were not polite, and the click zuihou cut it to 105 minutes, which is an hour and 45 minutes, and this is the time of the movie zuihou.

The script of this movie can basically be regarded as a synthesis of the movie and the TV version, and Zhou Xiao's role in it is to combine the plot and add sensational clips according to the standards of commercial films, the latter point is actually very important, Japanese people watch movies, emotional films are the most, but most Japanese movies actually don't pay much attention to commerciality, strange blank spaces and large inexplicable plots abound, and the arrangement of many plots is a little useless if you think about it carefully, but Japanese audiences don't care much about this, They can appreciate good films and blockbusters, this weirdness can even be said to exist with some different aesthetics from audiences in other countries, but Zhou Xiao is not ready to make those useless things, he hopes that every shot in his film is useful, which is very implemented in the hands of Nagata Qin as the director and the editor invited by Uncle Inoue.

Although it is just an ordinary film with very low capital investment, it tells the story of the girl's short life, but after the whole shooting, Zhou Xiao can proudly say that compared with the original 04 years of filming "A Liter of Tears", which has a very small plot, the level of this drama far exceeds the original work, and don't forget, the current time is only the end of 2000, even if it is the broadcast time, it is nothing more than the beginning of 2000, and now with this new movie, Zhou Xiao has given great expectations.

105 minutes passed slowly, and the vast majority of the audience in the screening hall came for business, so they didn't say how sad and sad about the plot, but Yuko Ogura next to Zhou Xiao was different, although she had already known the final result, but the sound of Yaya who saw it with her own eyes still made the girl cry, especially when it came to a few famous clips. Zhou Xiao's preparation for this situation can be described as quite sufficient, and he has a lot of tissues in his pocket for Yuko Ogura.

When the film ended, Zhou Xiao calmed down the crying around him very sadly, and after Yuko Ogura, who had been leaning on Zhou Xiao's side almost all the time in the second half of the film, got up and walked to Uncle Inoue.

"How?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"I really didn't expect that you guys would come up with such a haode film, you didn't see it, those guys who only had the box office in their eyes like robots were red-eyed, not to mention the ordinary audiences who were invited, this film can not only make money, but also the social evaluation will be quite good!"

"Now that I'm at the level of filmmaking, you won't be worried, right?" Zhou Xiao was very happy to hear Uncle Inoue say this.

"You didn't shoot it, I only admit your level of screenwriting." Uncle Inoue said.

While the two were talking, several other people walked over.

"This is Zhou Xiao? Young people are really amazing, I asked myself that after so many years of hard work, I have already cultivated a hard-hearted heart, but I am still very moved by this film. The person who came was less than forty years old, and although he said these congratulatory words, Zhou Xiao could see that there was still a lot of sadness in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

"This is Daiei's responsible Mr. Tokuma." Uncle Inoue introduced on the side.

"Mr. Tokuma, the first thing I want to thank for making this film is the studio of Daiei, and of course, thank you for coming over in your busy schedule." Zhou Xiao held Tokuma's hand and said.

"What's the busy schedule, the current situation of Daying is definitely not busy, from this year to next year, counting you, Daying is only two films to start, and it won't be able to go on." This Tokuma opened his mouth to complain.

"How is it possible, the big movie is a long-established shop that has lasted for decades, and I believe that it can definitely be brought back to life, starting with my movie." Zhou Xiao said. (To be continued......)
