Everyone was gagged by Kobayashi's reply again, what Kobayashi said was not right, the current Japanese society has been completely deformed, the standard laughing poor does not laugh at prostitutes, as long as you have money, you will be respected, who will care how you make it. At the beginning, those girls who took to the streets to be Pan Pan were either because they were poor and were about to starve to death, or because no one wanted them after joining the RAA, and they were forced to be Pan Pan, but just two years later, there have been many girls who have taken the initiative to do this business in order to pursue excitement or greedy for pleasure, and even some girls can accompany American soldiers for a night for two stockings or a few boxes of chocolates, and the social atmosphere can be said to have collapsed to the extreme.

In the end, the board of directors decided that such a film could indeed be tried, but it could not be shot in the name of Toho, but by Iwata Hiromichi and Kobayashi Koyasu and others re-registered a film company called Shin Toho, which was actually a disguise, all the funds, equipment, staff, and theater resources were Toho's, and soon, the first film "The Market of Flesh" was successfully filmed. (I won't go into detail about the specific shooting process)

As soon as this "Market for the Flesh" was released, it immediately caused an uproar, and countless film critics, critics, and conservative literati wrote articles criticizing the film, angrily accusing the new Toho Film Company of dishonoring the Japanese face in order to make money, and all the cast and crew should commit suicide to wash away the humiliation brought to Japanese films. On the other hand, the box office is extremely hot, not to mention those Japanese men, even American GIs are in groups to watch this film.

Jerry and Downing were a little caught off guard by Toho's counterattack, he had always thought that Japan had to start having small movies until the 90s, and he never expected that such films would appear just after the end of World War II. In fact, this is caused by Downing's ignorance of Japanese films, which were born in Japan in 1957, a genre called "pink film".

Produced by Okō Pictures and directed by Satoru Kobayashi, "The Market of the Flesh" and "Free Trade of the Flesh" directed by Jiro Motoki and "Valley of Lust" directed by Koji Seki are known as the first and most important works in the history of Japanese pink cinema, matured in 1964, and the representative work was Tetsuji Takeshi's "Daydream", which reached its peak in 1973, when there were about 500 adult theaters in Japan showing pink movies, until the advent of real AV, which ended the history of pink movies.

Due to the huge success of Kobayashi's "The Market of Flesh" at the box office, not only within Toho, but also large companies such as Lianrihuo, Toei, Shochiku, and Daiei have followed suit, and even those small companies have seen the advantages of pink movies: low investment, high returns, and no need for actors' acting skills, so all of a sudden, the entire Japanese film company began to shoot pink movies in large quantities.

What's particularly interesting is that the heroine of "The Market of Flesh" is a piece of sand Youli (to borrow the name, in fact, the story of this eldest sister is more legendary, interested friends can go to Baidu, *** or something is far worse than her.) Because for the first time as a woman who performed on the big screen without any cover (after thinking for a long time, she finally thought of a word that would not be blocked), she suddenly became popular among wealthy businessmen and wealthy families, and she was proud to sleep with her once, so her value rose sharply, and the price of each time she attended a drinking party actually exceeded the salary of the most popular star for a play, of course, her work is not only limited to accompanying wine. But her legendary experience has made countless women scramble to follow suit, so the actress problem that was originally the most difficult to find in pink movies was solved at once.

Regarding this phenomenon, although Downing and Jerry's film business has been affected, he doesn't seem to care, what should he be busy with every day, but he doesn't care, but Jerry is about to go crazy "Tony, these Japanese are really too disagreeable, they can't win us in movies, so they make this kind of crooked trick to make women bare-ass to grab the box office, which is also too shameless." Otherwise, if we also make this kind of film, we can't let them make money. ”

"Jerry, I can understand your urgency to suffer, but I personally don't think it has to be. Although pink movies are very popular at the moment, the audience for this kind of movie is very limited, only men like it, women and children don't like to watch it, and this kind of sword going off the edge of things can't last long after all. To put it mildly, even men can't get hard when they watch this kind of film. So don't worry about him, it will naturally cool down after a while. We are all people with status, and there is no need to compete for this kind of non-high-grade business. Tang Ning patiently persuaded.

Although he felt that what Tang Ning said made some sense, Jerry still muttered unwillingly: "Then why don't we just do nothing?" ”

Tang Ning thought for a moment, and then replied, "Actually, it should be okay to wait like this for a while, but I do have an idea recently and want to discuss it with you." ”

Because of the previous award-winning film incident, Jerry had already recognized Downing's judgment very much, so he hurriedly asked, "Do you have any good ideas?" Tell me about it. ”

Unexpectedly, Tang Ning didn't answer and asked, "Jerry, do you want to make a movie?" ”

"Of course I want to make this, how can anyone who makes movies don't want to make movies, but Tony, you know, the money I have now is basically spent on theaters and film sources, which is not enough to support the cost of a movie, even if it's just a Japanese movie." Jerry replied with a depressed stall hand.

Tang Ning said disapprerovingly: "Money is easy to do, I can help you apply for a part of the funding from our Allied Command." ”

"What?! Can your Allied Command still sponsor me to make a movie? Tony, you're not kidding, are you? Jerry couldn't help but exclaim.

"It depends on what kind of film you're making, and if you can make a film with a specific theme, it's very likely to get sponsorship." Tang Ning replied slowly.

"And what is the theme of the movie you specified?" Jerry asked curiously.

"Well, that's it, take a look." With that, Downing pushed a notebook to Jerry.

Jerry took it and looked at it, and suddenly realized: "Ah! What kind of subject should I be, it turns out that this is what you've been busy with lately! ”
