703 Will be counted to shoot "Love Letter"
After listening to Nobuo Tomioka's explanation, Cao Zhiqiang immediately sighed deeply.
"Wow, when you said this, I suddenly felt so much pressure on my body, and I became the spiritual idol of your young people? Too much, right? β
"Not too much at all." Nobuo Tomioka shook his head.
"Cao Sang, the reason why you don't feel it is just because you don't usually care about these things, and you never ask about relevant news.
Of course, there are also reasons why we do a better job of protecting you.
In fact, your influence is already quite large, but you don't realize it.
If you don't believe me, I can show you a place to look at the various letters from that warehouse, and you will know how influential you are. β
"A warehouse?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, "Letter? β
"That's right!" Nobuo Tomioka nodded with a serious expression.
"Cao Sang, in fact, because you rarely show your head and never release personal information, although your fans like you, they basically don't know where you live, don't know what your real name is, and don't know that you are actually Chinese.
Even in the Chinese movie "Love in the Rain" you made, in the list of actors during the Japanese release, after your real name as the actor, a parenthetical was deliberately added, and the name of Morinaka Qingquan was written in it.
In this way, basically everyone thinks that the name Cao Zhiqiang is actually your Chinese stage name, and they don't know that your real name is Cao Zhiqiang, which is originally Chinese.
This is also the reason why the movie "Love in the Rain" is so popular.
That's because there are a large number of fans of Aoizumi in the forest who go to the show on purpose.
Although it has not been investigated in detail, it is said that you fans alone contributed at least a third of the box office to that movie.
But don't forget, the crowd has a herd effect, and your fans also organize themselves and go around recommending people around them to see that movie.
When most people recommend going to see a movie, other people, even if they are not interested in your song, will come over to watch it and contribute a movie ticket.
It is precisely because of this situation that your literary film can achieve such an exaggerated box office.
In addition to the fact that your movie itself is really good, the contribution of your huge fans is also indispensable. β
"Understood." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "Fan traffic." β
"Fans?" Nobuo Tomioka was stunned, "You mean, that kind of snack in China?" β
"Ah, no, I'm talking about transliteration." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "English fans, fanatical admirers, and fanatical star chasers." β
"That's right." Nobuo Tomioka nodded, "A fanatical admirer? Fanatical star-chasers? fansοΌ That's a fitting description. β
Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "In other words, I have a lot of fans now, they are numerous, they are still very fanatical, and they regard me as an idol."
If I, an idol, suddenly fall in love, it will cause many people's faith to collapse, and if someone dies, it will cause huge negative public opinion.
At that time, I was riddled with negative news, and I couldn't continue to maintain my current comfort, and I couldn't create with peace of mind.
This kind of me is equivalent to losing my value, and the people who have lost their parents, whether it is Fuji TV or you Warner, will not continue to protect me.
Without the protection of your big companies, they can smear me and make it impossible for me to gain a foothold in Japan, right? β
"That's right." Nobuo Tomioka nodded.
"In fact, it could be worse than that.
For example, Miss Akina, who has an affair with you, is likely to be maliciously attacked or even physically harmed.
What's more, everyone didn't know your specific address before, so they could only go to Warner, but now that they know your specific address, it is likely that there will be some crazy fans who will block you here.
And as soon as this happens, reporters will flock to it, and they will not care about anything anymore.
At that time, your Chinese identity will be dug up, and then someone will deliberately attack your identity problem, and then maliciously smear and spread rumors.
After a long time, sooner or later it will drag you off the altar.
Even if we issue a joint warning, they will not dare to smear and spread rumors at will.
But as long as the news of your relationship with Miss Akina comes out, you will inevitably lose a large number of fans, and even many people will love and hate you and will become your opponents. β
"Yes, the pink turns black." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.
Nobuo Tomioka was stunned, but quickly understood: "That's probably it. β
Cao Zhiqiang said: "Although I don't care much about these, it's not my style to follow other people's wishes." β
After a short pause, Cao Zhiqiang asked: "So since you can guess this, how do you think I should deal with it next so as not to fall into the trap?" β
Nobuo Tomioka said: "Well, in my experience, in your current situation, you can't admit to falling in love with someone even if you die, which will anger the fans you said." β
After a short pause, Nobuo Tomioka said: "Of course, I'm not saying that you have to stay single for the rest of your life, but that for the time being, you can't make your relationship public."
Because although you are very popular now, you are still a newcomer after all.
Newcomer idols are the most taboo to make their relationships public.
Because for the majority of fans, it takes time to accept a newcomer.
Fans, well, that's what you're talking about, are in a kind of crazy infatuation when they first like you.
At this stage, they tend to fantasize about you as the person they think you are, and there is no room for serious shortcomings.
Especially those young girls, they imagine you as their ideal object, and they can't accept that you have a lover, which will break their illusions.
It's just that this crazy obsession phase won't last too long.
After all, people always grow up.
As you grow older, as your experience deepens, the more you know and the longer you know, the initial crazy infatuation will gradually fade away, and gradually turn into a habit, or nostalgia.
To put it simply, adults who like you are not terrible.
What is terrible is that those teenagers who have not officially entered society, have not yet had a formal job, and are not mentally sound.
Especially now those teenagers, all lawless, skipping school and skipping classes at every turn, fighting and fighting.
You can't use common sense to judge these people, and you can't use common sense to convince them.
These people can be crazy when they like you.
But when these people hate you, it's also crazy.
Now, most of those teenagers are in the stage of liking you immensely.
But once you have a scandal about being in love with someone, the situation will take a turn for the worse.
This is also the reason why major brokerage companies require that they must not fall in love within five years when they launch idol artists. β
"Alright, alright." Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand.
"I know what you're talking about, and I'm asking, what do I do next?
Like you said, if I admit the relationship, it will cause those fans to collapse en masse.
But if I don't admit the relationship, they will definitely throw out more evidence to hammer me to death.
It doesn't work to admit it, it doesn't work if you don't admit it, so what should you do? β
Nobuo Tomioka smiled: "Of course, it will be calculated. β
"Will it be calculated?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, "What do you mean?" β
Nobuo Tomioka said, "It's very simple, you make another song, and then make an MTV starring you and Miss Akina together."
Of course, out of prudence, it's best to let Miss Kyoko join in and make a three-person MTV.
When we were filming this MTV, of course we had to sign a contract.
This contract date, we can advance a little earlier, say a week or two in advance.
Also, the fact that you are neighbors is also important, and you can join in.
Of course, Miss Kyoko can also become Miss Akina's roommate.
As a result, once the magazine was launched, some reporters took the opportunity to make a fuss.
We can just say that this is all a clip of us secretly filming MTV.
As long as you put the contract and release a little shooting tidbits, you can instantly block everyone's mouths.
At that time, even if they release more private photos of you and Mingcai-chan, we can also say that this is a filming clip.
Even, we can sue the weekly Wenchun in turn.
sue them for illegally taking photos and spreading rumors and slander without our consent. β
Speaking of this, Nobuo Tomioka smiled and tapped his finger on the cover of the weekly bunharu: "This one mentioned your love affair with Akina-chan by name, and also took a photo."
When the time comes, it will become evidence that they secretly photographed our MTV and spread rumors and slander, and if they really go to court, they will not feel good.
So the best way is to settle privately, such as finding a temporary worker to replace the dead ghost and apologize publicly.
In this way, you can easily settle this matter.
Cao Sang, do you think this method of killing multiple birds with one stone is good? β
Cao Zhiqiang frowned: "Do you need to be so troublesome?" β
"Absolutely." Nobuo Tomioka said, "Cao San, you are no more than before, you are already a supernova in the Japanese pop music industry.
It's just that you're rising too fast, you're usually too low-key, and you're singing fast, so for the time being, you haven't felt the power of being silent under the sea level.
But everyone's infatuation and love for you has accumulated to a certain point, and there is an urgent need for an outlet.
This incident is obviously a fuse.
And the other party saw this, so he dared to do this.
What they are gambling on is that you are too young and too inexperienced, and once you are caught off guard, you will lose ground and give them a chance.
But now that you're lucky enough to get the news ahead of schedule, this trick won't work.
As long as we plan ahead, we can turn bad things into good things and direct public opinion to your new work.
When the time comes, when everyone knows that your ambiguous behavior with Ming Cai is filming, not only will the rumors be self-defeating, but they will also have great expectations for your new work.
In addition, after this incident, there will definitely be a large number of media personnel who will come and rush to report on it.
As long as we provide proper guidance, it is equivalent to not spending a dime, and we have been exposed and publicized by public opinion for free.
Your new work doesn't have to be too good, as long as it is a little bit of class, you can achieve very good results.
You think, in this way, not only will you not have a crisis, but you will also gain fame and fortune, so why not? β
Cao Zhiqiang touched his chin and thought about it: "The method is not bad."
However, since we want to take advantage of a wave of public opinion for free, why not do it more thoroughly? β
Nobuo Tomioka blinked: "What do you mean?" β
Cao Zhiqiang put down his hand and smiled at Nobuo Tomioka: "When the time comes, we will announce to the public that we are preparing to start filming a new movie focusing on love, and I have thought of the name, it will be called "Love Letter"!" β
"Making a movie? Love letter? Nobuo Tomioka was stunned, "This ...... Wouldn't it be too rushed? β
Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand: "No, no, no."
In fact, I have wanted to make this movie for a long time, and the script has been thought out, but I haven't started writing it yet, but I will be able to finish it soon.
In addition, I have already thought of the soundtrack of this movie, and I can write it at any time.
As for the investment, it's even more fine, I plan to spend my own money to invest, as for the director...... You can find Kozo Nagayama.
Although director Nagayama is young, he has only made TV dramas in the past.
However, I think he has a very good set of filming romantic dramas, very delicate and warm, even if he changes to a movie, it is no problem.
In terms of actors, I, Akina and Kyoko are the main ones, and then Sayuri Yoshinaga, Tomokazu Miura, and Ken Utsui are the supporting roles.
Then, my "Love in the Rain" has just ended, and the aftermath has not completely dissipated.
Taking advantage of this time, I think it is very beneficial to use the other party's public opinion to play a wave of advertising. β
Nobuo Tomioka was stunned, and then said: "In other words, you have already thought of the script, you have long wanted to make this movie, and you have candidates for funds, directors, actors, etc., and even the theme song has been thought of?" β
"Yes!" Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded.
Nobuo Tomioka blinked, still in disbelief, and asked, "Eh, are you sure you're not joking with me?" β
"When have I ever joked?" Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile.
"So, can you tell me a little bit about the plot of this movie?" Nobuo Tomioka asked.
"Absolutely." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.
Next, Cao Zhiqiang briefly told the story of the classic love movie "Love Letter" directed by Shunji Iwai in his previous life.
In fact, the story content of "Love Letter" is not complicated, it is very simple, it tells a story of a secret love.
The relationship between the characters is also very simple, not complicated, and there are so many characters in total.
The pace is also slow and there are no complicated shots.
But it is this simplicity and slow pace that makes the film seem pure and flawless, sad but not sad, wanting to talk and stopping, and unfinished.
It can be said that this is a typical romance literary film, which seems simple, but in fact leaves a lot of blank space, giving the audience endless imagination and bringing an emotional baptism to the audience.
The word love letter points out the theme just right, claiming to have reached the "ultimate of secret love".
Later Korean dramas are said to have borrowed from this movie.
In addition, the main background of this movie is winter and snow, and the theme song "A winter story" even names its core.
Of course, in order to maximize profits, Cao Zhiqiang must not only engage in this pure music, he also has to add some additional songs.
For example, in terms of the theme song, he decided to add a song "True Love", which is the theme song in the Japanese drama "Love White Paper" in his previous life.
Anyway, with the theme of crush, the song "True Love" is very appropriate.
The most important thing is.
The male protagonist in "Love Letter", that is, the male version of Fujii Tree, actually does not appear in many scenes, and is more of a memory object.
This means that there are not many appearances of this character.
There are not many scenes, which naturally means that there are few scenes.
In this way, if Cao Zhiqiang goes to act, it won't take too much time.
With less investment, higher returns, and no effort, could there be anything better than that?
