Chapter 115: Toho strikes
Downing's idea was that since companies like Toho Kadokawa went to Hollywood to buy the Japanese distribution rights of the film at a high price with a check, then it was impossible to stop the Hollywood studios from selling to them, after all, no one could watch the money delivered to them not make money, so if they wanted to change the situation, they had to change the way.
Now that they have fallen into a misunderstanding in Toho Kadokawa, they should push them into a dead end before they can react. It is impossible for Jimmy to get those studios not to sell their films to Toho Kadokawa, but Jimmy can spend a little bit of money to get these studios to sell a batch of films to Toho Kadokawa, which is very possible, because the studios recommend the award-winning films and art films that Toho Kadokawa wants, and Toho Kadokawa can't find fault with them, because the quality and connotation of these films are indeed much higher than those commercial films screened by Downing, and at this point, Toho Kadokawa must also admit as a filmmaker.
At the same time, Downing also asked Jimmy to secretly send someone to double all the films they bought at a low price and sell them to Toho Kadokawa, before Downing bought these films mainly because they were cheap, and planned to have a suitable opportunity to release them again in the future, so he didn't buy much, and now since Toho Kadokawa wants to, then don't take the opportunity to pit them, and once they don't manage well in the future, they can take back the film at a lower price at that time.
After receiving Tang Ning's telegram, Master Jimmy, who has always liked to write telegrams as letters, replied quite concisely this time, only eleven words: "You are such a bad guy, but I like it!" ”
In the following days, Toho Kadokawa and other Japanese manufacturers found that everything in Hollywood went much smoother overnight, and there was no longer the situation of hitting walls and being obstructed everywhere a few days ago, and they didn't even have to negotiate with the film companies themselves, and the film companies took the initiative to ask them to sell movies, and the quality was very good. Although they were all puzzled for a while, it was always good that things were going well, so they soon purchased a lot of films and returned to Japan. At the same time, all the money in his pocket was spent.
But when they returned to Japan, they realized that something was wrong, why they were showing American blockbusters, and they were all high-quality award-winning films. But the audience just didn't buy it, except that it was fresh for two days at the beginning, and then they all went to watch the garbage movies shown by Downing, which made them puzzled.
However, Tang Ning didn't have the leisure to care whether they were confused or not, he was busy enjoying the blessings. Don't get me wrong. It's not that he has added a new woman, but that a woman next to him has changed his attitude towards him by a hundred and eighty degrees, and this woman is Loskova under the pseudonym Miwako.
At the beginning, one of the conditions for Loseva to agree to obey Tangning was to ask Tangning to rescue her mother, although living in Tangning was extremely comfortable, but Tangning did not rescue her mother for a day, and their mother and daughter were not reunited, her heart was never completely stable, although her body had already been given to Tangning, but her heart was far from it.
Tang Ning didn't want to repay the debt and not help her fulfill this wish. It's that he's too busy, and he doesn't have the right opportunities. It wasn't until he came back from the United States this time that Tang Ning saw that the first batch of people trained by Yan Zhen was almost over, so he took this matter as an assessment item and sent two teams of people to Tokyo to carry out the rescue mission.
During the previous nylon factory incident, Loskova asked to meet with her mother, in order to confirm her mother's location, and then handed over to Matsuda Yoshiko's informants to track and investigate, while Endo led the first batch of Ryukyu guards to Tokyo to meet Matsuda Yoshiko, this group of people Tang Ning asked Yan Zhen to train them as special police, but these Ryukyu guys didn't know, they all got the news from the family elders. I thought I was a future Ryukyu officer, so I trained very hard, and I was even more excited about this mission, and the only thing that was a little dissatisfied was that Endo, who led the team, was a Japanese
Still, the mission was very successful. With the cooperation of the informant, Roskova's mother was rescued very smoothly, and after the mother-daughter reunion, they naturally hugged their heads and cried, complaining to each other. Since then, Loskova has been desperate for Downing, obedient to everything, and even more flattering and hard-working in bed. Although it is not the first time that Downing has enjoyed the beautiful body of Loskova. But the feeling of being emotionally invested and not being emotionally invested are completely different things, so Downing enjoyed the glamorous blessings during this period. (Finally got the deal over.) )
Downing is enjoying the blessings here, but Toho Kadokawa is miserable here, because of the impact of Hollywood movies caused the box office of the movies they produced to plummet and suffered heavy losses, I thought that this time I spent a lot of money to buy copyrights in Hollywood, and I could come back to life, but I didn't expect the box office to be bleak, for a while, the major film companies were unable to make ends meet, and Toho Company was even more loss-making and couldn't cry.
Since the company is losing money, then the company's actors will naturally be cut and laid off, which is a catastrophe for these actors, at that time it was not as good as now, and now the actors don't make movies, they can go to make TV series, they can be hosts, they can be on variety shows, and they can also take a microphone to pretend to be a singer to go to the hole, but not at that time, not being able to act in movies is equivalent to losing their jobs, and these actors will be filming, if you ask him to do something else, he will not.
People engaged in art work are more passionate and easily excited, and they are already indignant when they are laid off, and they are flickered and pleaded by some leftists with ulterior motives, and these hot-blooded young people immediately think of the most traditional way, that is, to protest!
In order to expand the scale of the parade and improve the effect of the parade, these organizers began to go to major film companies to promote and agitate, perhaps because the living conditions of Japanese actors are generally not very good, or because these organizers are very eloquent, or some real filmmakers are saddened by the current Hollywood movies in Japan. All in all, the tandem was a great success, mobilizing hundreds of people to participate in the demonstration. (It's not like I'm making it up, in fact, from 1946 to 1948 there were many demonstrations in the Japanese film industry, especially in 1947, which was the largest and the funniest!) (To be continued.) )
