Sakurai said with some embarrassment: "That's right, these children are really making trouble now, especially the University of Tokyo, you said that you who were finally admitted to the University of Tokyo are not studying well, and you are making trouble all day long!" Then he changed the conversation and said, "Tony, what do you think will happen if this film is pushed to the American market?" ”

Tang Ning pondered for a moment and said: "It is estimated that the box office will not be too good, what's the matter, you still want to use this film to open the international market?" ”

Sakurai shook his head and said: "That's not it, I mainly want people all over the world to see this spirit of the Japanese, as for the money, it doesn't matter, just earn the cost of renting a theater in the United States." ”

Tang Ning said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I don't care about the cost yet, okay, I'll send it to Jimmy when you're done." ”

Sakurai's proposal is a wake-up call to Downing, in fact, sports-themed film and television dramas and cartoons are also very popular things in Japan, such as the famous "Football Player", "Slam Dunk", "Baseball Hero" or something, even playing Go can make people make a "Chess Soul", which shows that this theme is promising, why don't you take advantage of the current time to get these things out?

Unexpectedly, after Tang Ning said his thoughts, Sakurai said in surprise: "Can this work?" We filmed the Japanese women's volleyball team because the Japanese women's volleyball team is now the number one in the world, but our results in football, basketball, and baseball are not good, and even if the film is gorgeous, we can't convince others. ”

Tang Ning was a little speechless in this regard, and said in his heart, you are still too embarrassed, if you think according to your thoughts, then what do Yoichi Takahashi and Yuhiko Inoue rely on to eat? But a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and an idea popped up again: "Since we can't shoot football, basketball, baseball, or anything, let's continue to shoot volleyball." We can make the volleyball racket a little more magical and mysterious, anyway, now the Japanese women's volleyball team is the first in the world, no matter how we exaggerate it, no one else can say anything. ”

In fact, Downing's idea comes from a Japanese TV series "Volleyball Girl", which was once extremely popular in China and even influenced the legendary rich Mr. Ma Yun in later generations of China, because Downing was too young when it was screened at that time. I don't understand it, but then I went to see it roughly, and after reading it, I was full of emotion.

In Downing's view, this "Volleyball Girl" should be regarded as the ancestor of comics such as "Football Player" and "Slam Dunk", and the shame is extremely high, at least Downing felt very speechless when he saw shouting "Clear Sky Thunderbolt", "Rotating Sun and Moon", "Phantom Whirlwind" and even "Double Clear Sky Thunderbolt" while serving, and the special effects couldn't be complained, but even so. But it was quite shocking in that era.

After listening to Tang Ning's general description, Sakurai couldn't close his mouth in shock, and after a long time, he reluctantly said: "Tony, you're too exaggerated, are you still playing volleyball?" ”

Tang Ning's face turned pale and said, "Why not?" And don't you think that this kind of shooting can attract those hot-blooded young people, which can be regarded as guiding their direction of struggle. ”

Sakurai nodded helplessly and said, "If you want to try it, you can do it, but I'm not very optimistic about this drama." By the way, how did you design the 007 Japanese chapter we talked about last time? ”

"It's already designed. As per your request, the roles of two Japanese Bond girls were retained. It's up to you to pick the guy. This time, in order to arrange a Japanese Bond girl, Tang Ning took a lot of effort, and even let James Bond get married once in Japan, the bride is a female employee of the Japanese intelligence service, in order to mix up with the island where the rocket launch base is located, Bond must disguise himself as an ordinary fisherman. For the sake of realism, you have to bring a wife. At this time, 007's action time can be said to be running out, but it still takes a lot of trouble to hold a wedding for the two. The other is a female ninja who appears in very few shots, and she does not appear a few times before becoming Bond's substitute ghost.

Sakurai smiled, "Tony, it's up to you to choose the candidate." You've already done so much, can't you have no benefits at all, oh, this is the information of the candidate, you see which one you like, you can talk to her in private. ”

Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "Come on, I have enough women, I don't want to provoke anymore." Although he said so, he still opened the information handed by Sakurai, and then frowned, and sure enough, the person he least wanted to see was Mieda Hama.

Speaking of this Hama Mieda is also a very strange actress, it is said that when she participated in "007: Thunder Valley", the producer wanted to replace her because her English was too poor, but she actually threatened suicide, and in the end the producer had no choice but to compromise.

Although the other Wakabayashi Eko is not a very good actor, after all, she has also participated in Ultraman, and she is considered a descendant of the East Asian company, and the role she plays is not heavy, so it doesn't matter.

The last candidate is this year's Miss Japan champion Kyoko Takeuchi, although Downing was a little surprised that she was able to win the championship, because in his memory it seems that the champion of '68 and '69 was Noriko Suzuki, why is it now Kyoko Takeuchi? But he doesn't have any opinion on this, firstly, this kind of thing is no longer worth his trouble, and secondly, this Takeuchi Kyoko is still very in line with his aesthetics, at least in his opinion, it is much more beautiful than Noriko Suzuki. (You can take a look at the photo on Baidu, it's beautiful!) ）

So Tang Ning said: "Well, so let's do it, let's play the female agent by Kyoko Takeuchi, and Eko Wakabayashi will play the female ninja." ”

Listening to his answer, Sakurai said with some embarrassment: "Tony, this Hamamie is also very good, don't you know her well enough, why don't I arrange a time for you to meet her?" ”

"Wakabayashi Yingko is a contracted actor of our company, I have naturally seen it, Kyoko Takeuchi is the champion of this Miss Himi and Zen, and I also have an impression, so I think there should be no big problem for them to appear in this play, as for this Hamami Eda I really haven't seen it, but I heard that she doesn't seem to be able to speak English." Tang Ning pretended not to understand the meaning of Sakurai's words, and pretended to be confused.

Sakurai continued to persuade: "Can you learn this English if it is not good, you can have a few lines in a play, and you can memorize it hard." ”

Tang Ning saw that he couldn't hide, so he asked directly: "Brother Sakurai, who is this Hamami Eda, is it worth your efforts so hard for her?" (To be continued.) )
