After a while, Nobuo Tomioka personally drove and took Cao Zhiqiang and Akina Nakamori directly to the headquarters building of Fuji TV.

After coming here, Nobuo Tomioka greeted the reception staff with a comfortable car, and then told the reception staff his name and asked the reception staff to help contact him.

Soon, the receptionist put down the phone and asked Nobuo Tomioka to answer.

After Nobuo Tomioka picked up the phone and had a brief conversation with the people over there, he waved at Cao Zhiqiang and Akina Nakamori, and then under the guidance of a reception lady who looked OK, he took the two of them to a reception room with a familiar car.

A few people sat down in the reception room, and the reception lady who led them over served them coffee and tea respectively.

Nobuo Tomioka asked for coffee, and Cao Zhiqiang and Akina Nakamori asked for green tea.

Of course, in this kind of place, you don't want to drink hand-ground coffee and precious tea, they are all instant coffee and tea bags, and it is precisely because of this that Cao Zhiqiang wants tea, not coffee.

As for Akina Nakamori, he has always been dominated by Cao Zhiqiang outside, what Cao Zhiqiang wants, she wants, and she easily does not speak, highlighting the fine tradition of traditional Japanese women.

I don't know if Akina Nakamori is like this, anyway, since she lived with Cao Zhiqiang, and with the support of Cao Zhiqiang, she became the president of the firm, and she became a smaller and smaller woman in front of Cao Zhiqiang.

But this is just one side of Akina Nakamori, it is said that Cao Zhiqiang himself is not there, when Akina Nakamori faces outsiders alone, she does not look like a little woman, but she is very cold without smiling, she looks like a strong woman in the workplace, and even looks like a gangster, but this is all for later.

After just a cup of tea, the door of the reception room was pushed open, and then I saw a middle-aged man in his early forties wearing trousers and a white shirt hurriedly walked in.

After the middle-aged man walked in, Nobuo Tomioka immediately stood up with a smile, shook hands with each other with a smile, and then began to introduce.

After some introduction, Cao Zhiqiang learned that this featureless-looking middle-aged man, named Yamada Kuan, was a section manager of Fuji TV's TV drama production center.

The TV Drama Production Center was formerly known as Fuji Television's No. 1 Production Department, but in 1971, this No. 1 Production Department became independent and established a subsidiary under Fuji Television.

In other words, it is nominally called Fuji Television Drama Production Center, but in fact it is an independent limited company, but the majority shareholder is Fuji Television.

Since then, the TV drama production center has become more independent, and Fuji TV's TV dramas have been commissioned to produce TV dramas.

Obviously, this is to reduce investment risks, increase freedom, and stimulate the creativity of the person in charge, hoping to produce more good-looking TV series in this way.

Being able to be a section leader here at least shows that this person has a certain strength and qualifications, otherwise he would not be able to be a section chief.

Of course, this also explains why Nobuo Tomioka is so familiar with each other, because they are about the same age, have similar positions, and belong to the same class, so they can become friends.

In short, in Japanese society, everything must be about seniority, and everything must be about class and strength.

If Cao Zhiqiang was not too strong himself, and the company he cooperated with was Warner, which had an American background, he would not have achieved such results in a short period of time.

In short, after a brief exchange of pleasantries, Nobuo Tomioka quickly explained his intentions.

Cao Zhiqiang thought that after listening to Nobuo Tomioka's intentions, the other party would read the script carefully, but he didn't expect the other party to read the script at all, but left in a hurry on the grounds that he was going to a meeting soon.

However, Yamada Kuan did not do this to give face, but really wanted to go to the meeting, and before the meeting, he came to meet Nobuo Tomioka in a hurry, which in itself shows that he attaches importance to Nobuo Tomioka, which is a performance of face.

Therefore, before Yamada Kuan left, he introduced a young man who also looked ordinary, saying that this was his right-hand man, and he could be responsible for everything.

The young man's name was Kozo Nagayama, he was twenty-seven years old this year, and his position was that of the head of the department, and he was said to be very talented.

Although he has only joined the TV drama production center for three years, he is already a department head, which is already a relatively amazing situation in Japan, where seniority is serious.

Because normally, when a person joins a Japanese company, he has to work for five or six years before he can be promoted to director, and then he has to work for another five or six years before he can be promoted to department president.

The position of department head is very crucial, and it is generally the deputy of the section chief, similar to the combination of a minister and a deputy director.

In other words, the head of the department is generally considered to be the alternate and acting role of the section chief, and it is a very important position to act as the head of the department when the head of the department has something to do temporarily, and to be the person who carries out the instructions of the section manager.

In the current Japanese club, if a newcomer wants to be promoted to the head of the department, if everything goes well, he has to survive for ten or eight years, so the average age of a department head is usually about thirty-six years old.

And this young man named Kozo Nagayama, who is only twenty-seven years old and has only been in the company for three years, can be promoted to the position of department head, which is either talented or has a great background.

Whatever the reason, this must be a capable person.

When Mr. Yamada was leaving, he called his deputy, which fully demonstrated his respect and responsibility.

Of course, the reason for this is also because Nobuo Tomioka and Mr. Yamada are old friends, and they don't pay so much attention to it, if President Yamamoto comes, it must be a higher-level reception, and it can't be so sloppy.

Anyway, in a word, watch people put down dishes.

After Kozo Nagayama came, he was very restrained and polite, bowing at every turn, and behaving very respectfully.

After taking the script handed over by Nobuo Tomioka and listening to the general story content told by Cao Zhiqiang, he immediately read the script on the spot.

During this period, in order to pass the time, Cao Zhiqiang had to chat with Nobuo Tomioka while drinking tea, and the chat content was the release of "Love in the Ancient Pavilion".

According to Nobuo Tomioka, the movie "Love in the Ancient Pavilion", after being re-reported by the customs, has successfully passed the review of Yinglun and is positioned as G-level, that is, a level that can be watched by any age.

But then, it's a question of which theater to talk to about the release.

Because this movie is a movie imported from Warner Japan, but Warner Japan does not have its own theater chain, so it must negotiate with the theater company.

At present, the company has been in contact with major cinema companies in Japan, hoping to get a good price.

The good news is that the heads of major theater companies in Japan are very optimistic about "Love in the Ancient Pavilion" and want to introduce this film, but the proportion has not been negotiated.

In other words, the reason why there is no news yet is because the price has not yet been negotiated, and Warner Pioneer wants to wait for a while.

But it's also fast.

Because this movie, strictly speaking, is the first commercial film from the mainland to enter Japan, and it is now the honeymoon period between China and Japan, so the political significance of this film is also very great.

Even if it is just a love story, it can also be seen as a symbol of Sino-Japanese friendship.

For this reason, the Japanese cultural department also specially dispatched an official to promote the release process of the film.

At the moment, Toho has the best offer, and if there are no exceptions, the film will be negotiated soon, and then it is expected to be officially released during the cultural festival in Japan.

"Don't worry, Cao Sang." Nobuo Tomioka said with a smile, "As for this movie, everyone is very optimistic, and this time period is not bad, the results can be discussed the day after tomorrow at the latest, and it is clear which film company to cooperate with."

After all, if it's late, it's not good to adjust the schedule of the cultural festival, hahaha. ”

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "Well, as long as it can be released smoothly, it doesn't matter if it's unfrugal." ”

Yes, in Cao Zhiqiang's view, the fact that this movie can be released in theaters in Japan is a success in itself, and he is not hopeful that the schedule will be a holiday.

Now that he heard that it would be released during the Japanese cultural festival, it was already unexpected.

However, this seems to make sense given the significance of Japan Culture Day.

Although there are some political factors in this, in the final analysis, it is the quality of this film.

Just kidding, let's not talk about the plot of this movie, but whether it is the picture or the music, it is absolutely invincible.

Not to mention the music, it was all Cao Zhiqiang's plagiarized popular tracks in later generations, and he produced a Japanese version of the song specifically for Japan.

As for the picture, when it was filming, it was a good machine and a good film, and Cao Zhiqiang also used his system ability to produce a lot of advanced special effects in the later stage, which is definitely the existence of every frame as a wallpaper.

Suffice it to say, this post-production movie can be said to be CG animation.

Of course, in order not to have problems, Cao Zhiqiang deliberately modified the CG animation to be more realistic, resulting in all the pictures remaining beautiful at the same time, but also more realistic, it looks like a real picture shot with a special technique, not like post-production.

At that time, Cao Zhiqiang can say that this is Japan's post-production ability, and externally it is said that this is a special capture of the picture, anyway, with the technology of this era, there is no flaw.

Not to mention at this time, even after forty or even fifty years, there will be no flaws, after all, these special effects are all film films produced by the system.

If in 40 or 50 years, these film films will naturally age, and there will be no problem.

When the time comes, even if it is a fixed version, no problems will be found.

That's the benefit of film.

If it's a digital version, it's easy to wear it when the time comes.

But if it really evolves to the digital version, the special effects will be even better, as long as the realism is reduced a little, and it will become more like the CG level of the same era.

To put it bluntly, Cao Zhiqiang's movie, the storyline can be average, but the picture must be good-looking, the music must be good, and it must give people the ultimate audio-visual enjoyment.

Lao Mouzi in the later period also followed this genre, the so-called picture flow, which is how it came about.

For example, Lao Mouzi's later "Hero", which is known as the first commercial blockbuster in China, the story content is just like that, but the picture and sound effects are really good, at least compared to other movies in the same period, it is already very good.

As for Cao Zhiqiang, in 1983, he made a Hollywood-level blockbuster with high quality, those beautiful pictures and extreme sound effects, plus all kinds of sensational music, can definitely earn people's tears, so that the vast number of people in this era suffer a high-latitude audio-visual blow.

Commercial movies, what you want is to look good and sound good, and it's best to be less preachy and meaningful.

The reason why Cao Zhiqiang's first movie chose "The Garden of Words and Leaves" to plagiarize is that this movie is quite touching in terms of audio-visual, and the storyline is simple and profound, and he can give full play to his skills in music and pictures.

Now the result is obvious, although the movie has not been officially released yet, but the major institutions that have seen this movie have been optimistic, which in itself shows the excellence of this movie.

"Actually, let me say that it's a pity to release this movie at the cultural festival." Nobuo Tomioka sighed.

"I've seen this movie, it's very well made, whether it's the picture, the music or the storyline, it's very good, it's impeccable.

It can be seen that Cao Sang, when you made this movie, you put your heart into it, and I'm afraid it's not easy to find those pictures alone.

You don't have to pick the music, and you don't have to doubt your own strength in this regard.

Even the storyline is very good, it seems to be just a simple teacher-student relationship, but in fact, there is a lot of hidden content inside, and it is evocative to taste carefully.

It would have been better if it had been screened during the summer vacation or New Year's Day. ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "You think too much, the summer file and the New Year's Day period are all prime time, and they are all prepared for your local movies and Hollywood blockbusters, and mainland movies like mine can't fight." ”

Nobuo Tomioka was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "That's right, it's not bad to be able to broadcast it at the cultural festival." ”

Speaking of this, Nobuo Tomioka said again: "By the way, Cao Sang, have you returned to China this time and got a work visa?" ”

"Got it." Cao Zhiqiang smiled.

"Oh? It's true? Nobuo Tomioka's eyes lit up, and he immediately smiled happily, "That's great!

Cao Sang, let me say, you might as well live in Japan for a long time in the future, with your talent, you will definitely be able to make great achievements in Japan.

Of course, I'm not saying that your home country is bad, but that with your ability and talent, Japan is more suitable.

You see, whether you are making records or making movies, you are very powerful, and even what you write is also a bestseller.

In other words, you can sing, act, write and direct, you are a talent with no shortcomings in all aspects, and the key is that you can speak Japanese so well, you have no problem communicating with us.

You should develop here, this is the most suitable battlefield for you! ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled faintly: "Well, let's talk about it later, it's too early to say this." ”

Nobuo Tomioka was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "That's right, it's too early to talk about this, but I believe that sooner or later you will agree to stay, you were born to eat this bowl of rice!" ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled faintly again, but did not pick up.

Just when Nobuo Tomioka was about to say something more, the young man named Kozo Nagayama suddenly stood up, and then with tears in the corners of his eyes, he shouted at Cao Zhiqiang:

"Cao Sang! This drama, this drama...... It's so touching, it's really, really touching!

This is definitely a big hit, a proper hit! (End of chapter)
