The family is not good enough to make money, the single mother has a younger brother who goes to school, and after Zhou Xiao said that he didn't need to accompany him, Isoyama Shaya can be regarded as pitiful and described his situation to him.

"This time Chunsang gave me 100,000 yuan, which is already the money I usually earn in a month, and it was handed over to you, so I am very happy, if it were you, I would not have any resistance. And...... It's my first time. Sayaka Isoyama finally said, and there were already tears in her eyes.

"I sold myself for only 100,000 yuan...... It's really cheap......" Zhou Xiao muttered. Isoyama Shaya can't be regarded as a good photo idol but it's not bad, she definitely earned more than 100,000 when she was the most popular, if she said what she said earlier, Zhou Xiao didn't have a word, but the fact that she could sell herself for 100,000 was the most convincing point for Zhou Xiao.

Zhou Xiao didn't know if Isoyama Sayaka's statement was true, or if she said it like this to the women who sent her to bed, but in short, Zhou Xiao didn't have anything to do with her that night.

Although she didn't give birth to anything, Zhou Xiao is still a little interested in Isoyama Sayaka, this girl is also a little red for a while and even starred in a late-night TV series, even if she is not popular, she can find a job by herself and live a very good life, overall for the company is an artist who can make less but not much.

Don't underestimate this kind of artist, for the company, such artists are the cornerstone, and the artists who are popular or losing money are all niche, and they are the real mainstream.

Isoyama is a person with a company, and this company is also very good to her, if it is a regular situation, Zhou Xiao can't bring her to his own company, and Zhou Xiao is not worth it, for such a small artist, he used all kinds of conspiracies and tricks to snatch her back.

So this night, he spent it in another room. And the next morning, he arrived on the set and continued his work.

"Therefore, I hope that this movie will not be released in China first, and will be released in the future after a circle in China." In the internal meeting of AZX, Zhou Xiao announced his decision.

This kind of situation of first taking it to a foreign exhibition and then releasing it back is not uncommon in Japan or China, but in addition to policy reasons, most of the remaining reasons for such films are because the director makes the film too literary and does not have a large budget and powerful special effects. Take such a movie abroad for a spin. Earn back some fame, and you will get higher praise when you return home.

"Boss, there's no need, the investment in our film is not small, and almost all the things used in the film are the best, so it's better to release it in China first and recover part of the investment, right? And whether it is domestic or foreign first, it will not lose much money. Keiko Watanabe said.

In AZX, Zhou Xiao has never made any mistakes. Speaking is quite effective, and even a bit of a word, and now the subordinates have questioned Cheng Dù quite a lot.

"It's okay, we're not short of money. Don't watch hundreds of millions of dollars thrown into it, but because there are few places to spend money, our company still has a surplus, let alone movies. I'm still thinking about the opportunity to sign a few more artists. Zhou Xiao said.

"Boss, but it's not a way like this." Someone said.

"Oh? What's wrong? Zhou Xiao asked.

"Boss, you're throwing too much money into the company. The company now lives almost on your single royalties, and among the people who sign up to the company, the Twelve Bands make some money, but from the early days to the present, their pace has slowed down. In addition to the Twelve Orchestra, among the few people you signed, Li Xuejiao of the Twelve Orchestra is really popular now, but she is nothing more than an ordinary Cheng dù artist, not very popular, and not too unpopular, and the other few people, Aoi Miyazaki just filmed "Ju Day" with you, although everyone knows her strength, her current popularity and route, whether it is filming or advertising, the price is not too high.

And a few other people, Maki Horikita, Yui Aragaki, and the head of the biological unit who sings, as well as the two little girls you signed, Mayu Watanabe and Airi Suzuki, these people are in training, the first three will have to wait at least a year or two to see the results, and the last two will not even see the effect until many years later according to your meaning, and the company's current income, in addition to the twelve orchestras, the most profitable is that you are obviously made by the or1dorder, and they can make a lot of money by performing everywhere, But compared to the massive expenses of the entire company, how can this money be enough? ”

Zhou Xiao looked at the person who spoke with some surprise, this person was a very ordinary employee of the company, but when he spoke, Zhou Xiao could feel that the people around him nodded frequently and seemed to empathize.

The employee took a deep breath and said: "Boss, our company is indeed not short of money now, and it is not short of money, but this lack of money is actually based on your massive subsidies.

You are a good boss, you subsidize the company so much so that the company can develop normally, you are very generous, usually never treat us badly, but if you continue like this, have you considered the mood of employees? Have you ever thought about what happens if your song doesn't sell out anymore, we'...... How do you survive? ”

"But ......," Zhou Xiao stopped talking.

"Boss!" Some employees still wanted to explain, and shouted eagerly.

Zhou Xiao closed his mouth, he wanted to say that you believe me, this film is the beginning of the company's turnaround, but he couldn't say it, because these people in front of him have been waiting for the company instead of him to make money for a long, long time, and it is not a good choice to let them wait in torment.

But...... Zhou Xiao didn't want to say that the movie would be released in Japan first, because he estimated that it would definitely not be a good choice to let the movie go on sale in Japan first.

"How can you convince them?" Zhou Xiao looked at the faces with various expressions in front of him, thinking distressedly.

Zhou Xiao at the meeting on this day did not give everyone a satisfactory answer, he said: "You have also seen this movie, its purpose is to focus on the overseas market, and many concepts are more important in the eyes of overseas, in this case, it is unwise to release it in Japan." So despite your opposition, I still insist that this film will be released overseas first. But I assure you that if this film, no, not if, no matter what the results of this film get, in the future, I will focus more on the company exhibition than on the solo exhibition as before, you may be dissatisfied, you may be worried about the future of the company, but all these feelings are suppressed until the film is released abroad. I'm sure you'll see a different world! ”

The boss said such a thing, and the employees actually had nothing to do, after all, Zhou Xiao was the one who gave them money, but Zhou Xiao knew that although the backlash of everyone in the company was suppressed by him this time, as long as their movie was in trouble, they would presumably stand up against themselves again, and there was only one way to make the opposition disappear. That is, this movie is really popular, and it sells for a big enough profit!

To be honest, in fact, Zhou Xiao did not have the certainty of success in his heart.

From "Juno" to "Ju Day", it is not only the name that has changed, but also the people who participate. It's not that Europe and the United States can't accept Asian faces, but it is undeniable that they are much slower to accept Asian faces than Asians accept Europeans.

For this reason, Zhou Xiao tried not to change the entire plot. makes the plot closer to the aesthetics of Europeans and Americans, for example, there is a paragraph in the middle of the original work, where Juno and his adoptive father argue about what era is the golden age of rock and roll. Zhou Xiao actually filmed two versions during filming, one version is the original version that says the European and American rock circles, and the lines appear in the 93 years is the golden age of rock and roll, Juno denied it and said no, the punk trend of punk in 77 is a similar line, Zhou Xiao originally changed these to Japanese rock circles, arguing about Uchida Yuya, Oda Tetsuro, X-Japan and other Japanese rock, what era is the golden age of the lines.

But maybe he was not confident, Zhou Xiao still didn't decide on a generic version in the end, he decided to use the original version when it was released in Europe and the United States, and when it was released in Japan, he used the Japanese version.

In fact, there are several revisions like this in the whole movie, all of which are to take care of European and American audiences on the one hand, and to take into account the changes in the comprehension ability of Japanese audiences on the other hand.

But even so, Zhou Xiao still has no way to guarantee that he will definitely succeed, but he has no way out, and the only choice left is to move forward.

With such an idea, Zhou Xiao made the movie for five months.

Because the exterior part has been filmed before, in the studio, a hospital scene has become the last part of the film.

In the entire crew, Kyoko Koizumi, Abe Kuan and others have completed their roles, and now the actors in the studio are only Nakai Kiichi, who was changed by Zhou Xiao and played Miyazaki Aoi's father, as well as Nakao Akikei and Miyazaki Aoi.

In the treatment of the movie, because Japan is different from Europe and the United States, Nakao Mingqing, who plays Ju Ri's boyfriend in the film, is portrayed as a more enthusiastic and active boy image, rather than the somewhat weak and delicate image in the original work, of course, he will also have the naivety and immaturity of the little boyfriend in the original work, but in terms of realization, there are some differences from the original, and this last scene, there are some slight differences between the two.

"Ready...... Begin! With Zhou Xiao's voice, the entire shooting venue fell silent, Takaichi Nakai and Aoi Miyazaki began to talk lines, and Akiyo Nakao was already ready to appear.

"Up! Above! Seeing that Aoi Miyazaki and Kiichi Nakai were almost in the same scene, Zhou Xiao waved at Mingqing Nakao in the corridor, signaling that he could appear on the stage.

Then there is the handover between the boyfriend and the father-in-law, and the plot where Akikei Nakao walks to the girl, lies down and hugs her.

…………

“cut! It's over! Zhou Xiao's shout made the entire crew suddenly relax, because it was the last shot of the film.

"Don't move! Don't move, you two! Zhou Xiao stood up and said.

Hearing his words, Aoi Miyazaki and Akira Nakao did not move, while Zhou Xiao commanded the cameraman.

"Photographer, take a picture of their feet, modeling, put Aoi Miyazaki's feet out of the quilt a little, and Nakao Akikei's shoes, see if the mud is too much or less, and then make up for it, what? No mud? Go outside and get some back, haven't you played with mud when you were a kid? ”

After another ten minutes of tossing and turning, Zhou Xiao finally said, "Okay! ok! It's over! It's all over! ”

"Oh! Hahaha! The cheers rang out, and everyone felt a little bored when they filmed a movie in the past six months, and everyone was very excited to complete such a movie.

"Alright, let's start packing up. Do you hear it at night as usual in the old place!? Zhou Xiao said loudly.

"Long live the boss!" Everyone shouted one after another, the so-called old place is the dinner place that Zhou Xiao and they often go to during this time, Zhou Xiao is very generous, although it is impossible to invite dozens of people from the entire crew to a big meal every day, but they have not eaten less in the past few months, and everyone likes to work under him very much.

For a movie, five months of filming time is not a long time, but for a traveler who actually has a whole movie in his mind, this time is not short at all.

The film is finished. He immediately went into the editing room and started editing, and at the same time, Uncle Inoue also began to contact various relationships in the entertainment industry, hoping to find a company that has connections with European and American film companies or theater alliances.

But until Zhou Xiao was in a mess and came out of the editing room in a daze, the good news of Uncle Inoue never arrived, and it was for matchmaking. Attempts to contact European and American film companies...... Failed.

Zhou Xiao shook his head helplessly, this was just a small effort, even if it didn't succeed, it couldn't change his mind. So, he quickly prepared a qiē and decided to go abroad with the film in person.

And the night before he was about to leave the country, a call quietly came to his mobile phone. Good news for him.

The next day, Zhou Xiao urgently changed his flight, and the plane landed after more than ten hours. The place he came to was no longer his previous destination, Los Angeles with Hollywood, but New York, where he had been twice and was now the third time.

Zhou Xiao, who came out with Uncle Inoue and others with his luggage, saw a fat man wearing a suit, black-framed glasses, holding his arms, squinting his eyes and waiting there, and beside him, there was another thirty-five or sixteen-year-old lady who looked very young and very well maintained.

Zhou Xiao walked over, shook hands with the fat man, and said, "Thank you so much, Uncle Akimoto Kang!" ”

"Hahaha, don't call me that, I'm also here to help."

"This must be Sister Masako Takai? When I watched the kitten club, I always thought that you were the most beautiful girl among the kittens, so I was very jealous of Uncle Akimoto! Zhou Xiao said wittily.

He first called Akimoto Yasu uncle, and then called Takai Mamiko's sister, you know, Akimoto Yasushi is actually only eight years older than Takai Mamiko, this age...... It's not even as big as the age gap between Zhou Xiao and Airi Suzuki Watanabe Mayu.

"Hey! I'm not going to let you pry into my corner! Akimoto Yasu said on the side.

Mamiko Takai smiled and said, "You were only three or four years old when the kitten club was popular, how could you remember me." ”

In fact, for more than a year, Zhou Xiao's relationship with Qiu Yuankang has not been broken, he originally had the idea of establishing an idol group with Qiu Yuankang, and it is impossible not to have a good relationship with Qiu Yuankang, but on the other hand, he doesn't want the other party to think that he is using him for something, so although he communicates with Qiu Yuanyasu, he rarely asks him for help, at most he takes advantage of the time when he is not working to have a meal or play golf together.

This is also the reason why Zhou Xiao made this kind of joke that seemed a little too much when he saw Mamiko Takai, to talk about the roots, he was originally a comedian debut, this, Akimoto Yasushi also knows this, and the usual interaction between the two, there will always be a tunnel duo or something to participate together, Ishibashi Takaaki or something has been in the entertainment industry for decades, especially the funny artists who have experienced the era of bubbles without taboos, and even think of what to say when joking, Qiu Yuankang and those members of the Kitten Club were crowded by everyone in private, and Qiu Yuankang was also half-true, so Zhou Xiao didn't know if he really had something to do with the people of the Kitten Club, or was too joking to refute it.

When eating with Zhou Xiao, Qiu Yuankang asked, "Zhou Xiao, I heard that the movie you made this time is also a teenage pregnancy?" ”

"That's right, movies and TV series are all about this theme." Zhou Xiao said.

"You ...... do this," Akimoto stopped talking.

"I know what you mean, but I think you'll know what I mean when you see the movie." Zhou Xiaodao.

"Oh? So confident? ”

"Yes, when I wrote these two stories, I didn't even have any special feelings when I decided to shoot them like this, and even when "Fourteen-Year-Old Mom" was released and got good ratings, I didn't have any special feelings, but when I started filming this drama myself, when the whole person was integrated into it, I gradually learned the most precious things in it, so although these two dramas seem to be the same content, the person who really changed was me, and I sublimated in the process!" Zhou Xiaodao.

"I'm curious to hear this, or ...... Later, when I take you to the studio, let me watch the movie on the side. Akimoto said with a smile.

"Okay, I'd love to hear your advice, after all, you're a senior." Zhou Xiaodao. (To be continued......)
