Chapter 64 What should the company do in the future?
"Zhou Xiao, if you are so foolish again, I think you should find someone else in this company." Uncle Inoue couldn't stand it at all, and he said that he was going to dump the stall and quit.
"Don't, Uncle Inoue, it doesn't actually cost much. You don't have to be in a hurry about this, you can just get busy after we pull the movie crew together. Now the per capita salary in the mainland is not high, and even at the beginning, you don't need to bring them to Tokyo, I will write them a few changed and original tunes, and then you and the being company apply for an arranger teacher to go to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou to recruit people, recruit a few people for each instrument, the total number of people can be about ten people, these people must have a very good folk music foundation, and at the same time they must be passable in appearance and figure, and then take these people to the big city, find a better quality recording studio to record and burn an album, Then find a few photographers in the local area, each of them take a few photos and send them back, find a stylist in Japan to do a model, and then shoot it directly in the mainland, the clothes are also very simple, China, although it is not traditional, but foreigners still only recognize cheongsam.
How's that? This jihua is good, right? After the record is filled, the people of the group can take a temporary break, and when the record is taken back and released after a period of momentum, if it can be popular, it is naturally the best, even if it is not popular, the entire investment is only a few million at most, which is quite cost-effective. Zhou Xiaodao.
"Okay, since you've thought about this matter so carefully, I won't say anything, let's talk about it when you take out the tune first, now let's talk about the movie, what do you want to shoot?" Uncle Inoue asked.
"A Liter of Tears, you know?" Zhou Xiao asked.
"A Liter of Tears? I seem to have heard of ......" Uncle Inoue hesitated.
Zhou Xiao took out the book he was carrying: "This is what I bought in the second-hand store, published in 86, it seems to have sold 260,000 copies at that time, which is a good result, but it doesn't have much attention." ”
It wasn't until Inoue picked up the book that he remembered about "One Liter of Tears".
The book "A Liter of Tears" is actually the diary of a girl named Yaya Kito, a fifteen-year-old girl with spinocerebellar atrophy who fought the disease for ten years, and Zuihou died when she was 25 years old.
In Zhou Xiao's previous life, the book "One Liter of Tears" was published in 1986, and Kito Ya also passed away in 1988, perhaps because Kito Yaya was still alive when it was released, so although this book caused a lot of topicality, it did not reach the level of moving the whole of Japan on the whole. The reason why this story was mentioned again was the appearance of the movie version of "One Liter of Tears" in 04, after the movie version, it directly made the diary of Aya Kito in 86, the diary of Aya Kito published in 89 and many books that were reprinted became popular, and it gave birth to the most classic "Tears of One Liter" by Erika Sawajiri and Ryo Nishikido, which can be regarded as officially remaining in Japanese history.
"So...... That's what you're going to shoot? Uncle Inoue asked.
"That's right, the director can find someone who is familiar with the business, you don't need to be too powerful, if you are an actor, you can look more miserable at the age of 20 or so, and you can be a girl, other actors, including the mother of the second female lead, ask for some acting skills, and the rest of the doctors and the heroine's classmates or something, just find ordinary actors."
"In this case, it seems that the budget for the actors is okay, but what about the sets?"
"There are three main places, a school, a hospital and an ordinary home, which need to be rented, and a car that is several years old also needs to be rented......"
"No, no, no, it's not you." Uncle Inoue said.
"Oh? weishenme? Zhou Xiao wondered.
"In fact, the indoor scenes of these three sets do not need to be rented at all, they actually exist, as long as you find a studio of a TV station or film company, and in three places like this, there are sets in the studio all year round, and these don't cost much at all, and you only need to make up some of the exterior scenes when the time comes."
"So, it's cheap?" Yes, this aspect is actually very cheap, the set is cheap, and the main cast and crew members don't cost much because of the small number of people, and the real expensive is the other manpower.
"Other manpower?"
"The photographer is the most important, the price of a professional good photographer is not much worse than the second-rate director you require, because you have no experience, so other staff members should also look for experienced, I heard that you have made your own singles before, if you can do haode together this time, you must be able to learn a lot of things."
"That's right, you can't go to a special directing school, if you want to do something, you can only study like this." Zhou Xiao nodded and said.
"But...... If that's the case, I won't accept your invitation. Uncle Inoue said suddenly.
"Huh? weishenme? Isn't that a good idea? Zhou Xiao asked.
"That's pretty talking? You spend more than 100 million yen to make a movie, find a few people in China who do folk music, and then you think that you can make money with both? No, no, no, even video games don't have such exaggerated gameplay, right? Uncle Inoue said.
"Then you just weishenme told me so seriously?" Zhou Xiao asked.
"I'm so serious, I want to tell you, you can make these things, 100 million yen is really barely enough, but what about after you make it? Haven't you ever thought about what you would do if it didn't become popular after you made it!? That's 100 million yen, so if you save a little money, you can live a life in peace! Uncle Inoue said.
"Safe, secure? Since you're here, since you've done this business, how can you be safe and stable......" Zhou Xiao said.
"Even so...... Even so, you can at least be cautious and don't spend all your money at once. ”
"No, if you don't do it now, it'll be too late to do it later, I don't have enough time, so I can only be so radical." Zhou Xiaodao.
"In that case, allow me to refuse!" Uncle Inoue said.
Zhou Xiao thought for two minutes and then looked up and asked, "What do you have to do to make you believe and try with me?" ”
Uncle Inoue still wanted to say something, but he didn't say it when the words came to his mouth, he actually wanted to persuade Zhou Xiao again, but looking at Zhou Xiao's serious appearance, he must have understood the seriousness of the young man at the moment, so he had to say: "You sing and compose music very well, yes, but this can only mean that you are talented in this area, which is amazing." So, if you can prove to me that you have the same talent in other areas besides music, maybe I can try to believe you. ”
"Anything else?"
"yes, can you do it?"
"Yes!" Zhou Xiaodao.
"In what way?"
"I haven't thought about it yet!"
"Are you playing with me?"
"Of course not, I really can, even if I haven't thought about it yet, I'm sure I can!" Zhou Xiaodao.
"Okay, then I'll wait!" Uncle Inoue Zuihou said.
After separating from Uncle Inoue, Zhou Xiao returned home and began to plan his recent itinerary. The first thing is to get the adaptation rights of "A Liter of Tears", the copyright of the novel may no longer be in the hands of Kito Yaya's mother, so what Zhou Xiao wants to get is the adaptation rights of TV and movies, and when the time comes, he will make a movie, even if he doesn't make a TV series, he can get a lot of money by selling it.
Then there is the establishment of the company, of course, before establishing the company, he first needs to convince Uncle Inoue that he really has the ability to create miracles.
Turning stones into gold or something, Zhou Xiao won't do it, the effect is slow, and it takes a while to show the effect, Zhou Xiao can't do it, because time is already very tight.
"Well...... What the hell is it going to do? He nestled in bed, the TV remote in his hand kept switching the TV station, and his mind was constantly rummaging through the contents of the hard drive.
The sound in the TV was intermittent by the constant conversion, but in fact, Zhou Xiao didn't pay much attention to the things on the TV at all, and his mind was thinking quickly, until the zuihou remote control stopped, and finally a complete sentence came from the TV's speaker.
PS, there may only be two shifts today, and it's better to be tired after more than 3 days in a row
