Chapter 123: Pink Movie
In fact, it's no wonder that Iwata Aso and they are so excited, because Kobayashi's script is too crazy and too excessive. If the Hollywood films that are now popular in Japan only use some three or five minutes of nudity to attract the audience, then Kobayashi's script is to stimulate the audience with thirty or fifty minutes or even more nude shots, and he doesn't need to watch the film, just reading the script Iwata feels that he is going to be hard......
Facing everyone's excited reactions, Xiao Lin said expressionlessly: "What's the matter, gentlemen, do you think that no one will watch this kind of film?" If the Americans can shoot it, why can't we Japanese shoot it? If you can appear in a play for three or five minutes, then why can't you appear for thirty or fifty minutes, why can't a play be made up of all these scenes and plots, and since the audience wants to watch it, then why don't we satisfy them? ”
Iwata, who couldn't refute Kobayashi Mitsuyasu's series of questions, could only say in a low voice: "Kobayashi, I understand what you mean, but who is willing to play this kind of play?" Not to mention the actresses in the company, I guess even the male actors are reluctant to act in this kind of play. ”
Kobayashi Koyasu replied disdainfully: "Cut, it's okay if they don't act, anyway, this kind of play doesn't need acting skills." Just go to the street and find a few panpans and give them more money. And I believe that once this kind of drama becomes popular, there will be many actresses rushing to act in this kind of play. ”
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.
Final Board Resolution. Such a film can indeed be tried, but it cannot be shot under the name of Toho, but a film company called Shin Toho was re-registered by Iwata Hiromichi and Kobayashi Koyasu and others, which is actually a cover. All the funds, equipment, staff, and theater resources are Dongbao's, and soon, the first film "** Market" was successfully filmed. (Recently, the wind has been too tight, so I won't write about the specific shooting process in detail)
As soon as this "** Market" was released, it immediately caused an uproar. Countless film critics, critics, and conservative literati have written articles criticizing the film, angrily accusing Shin Toho Film Company of dishonoring the face of the Japanese 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.
Downing was a little caught off guard by Toho's counterattack, he always thought that Japan had to start having small movies until the 90s, and he never expected that this kind of film 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 Ikō Pictures and directed by Satoru Kobayashi, "Free Trade" directed by Jiro Motoki and "Valley Room" directed by Koji Seki are called the first and most important three works in the history of Japanese pink cinema. Matured in 1964, the masterpiece is Tetsuji Takeshi's "Daydream", and it reached its peak in 1973, when there were about 500 adult theaters in Japan showing pink movies, and it was not until the advent of real AV that the history of pink movies ended.
Due to the huge success of Kobayashi's "** Market" at the box office, this time, 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 actors' acting skills. All of a sudden, film companies throughout Japan began to shoot pink movies in large quantities.
What is particularly interesting is that the heroine of "The Market of **" is a sand Youli (to borrow the name, in fact, the story of this eldest sister is more legendary.) Interested friends can go to Baidu, Teacher Cang 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, I finally thought of a word that would not be blocked), she suddenly became popular among wealthy businessmen and wealthy families, and they were all proud to sleep with her once, so her value rose sharply, and the price of each time she attended a cocktail party actually exceeded the salary of the most popular star for a play. Of course, her job doesn't stop at drinking. 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.
For this phenomenon, although Downing'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, it doesn't mean that his partners don't care, even Jimmy, who is far away in the United States, sent a reminder telegram: "Tony, these Japanese are really too unreasonable, they can't win us in movies, so they make this kind of crooked trick and let 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. ”
In fact, it was not only Jimmy during this time, but Osaka's Sakurai, Yoshida Shigeru's grandson Katsura Hachi, and Matsuda Yoshiko all made similar suggestions to him, and even these people could even provide actors, as long as Tang Ning agreed, filming could start immediately.
In order to dispel everyone's doubts, Tang Ning sent a telegram in reply: "My dear friends, I can understand the urgency of the loss of our common cause, but I personally feel that it is not necessary. 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. (To be continued.) )
