As it turned out, Monet's strategy was correct. The superb shooting quality, bold and diverse choice of subject matter, fresh and shocking pictures and plots of Hollywood movies have deeply attracted the Japanese, and because the United States has defeated Japan, American culture has been fanatically pursued in Japan, and the feelings of admiration and fear of beauty coexist and are very serious. It can be said that in Japan at that time, if you didn't watch Hollywood blockbusters, you were embarrassed to talk about what movies were all about.

Now that the test was successful, the next step was to expand production, so Monet cooperated with more theater owners through Jimmy, and at the same time directed Natasha in New York to buy the Japanese broadcast rights of popular movies under his banner.

Monet selected a total of ten films sent over in the first batch, of which five were gunfights and westerns like "Flying Across the Mountains", four feature films with more exposed shots like "Outlaws", and one was a literary film.

Monet's philosophy was that when the Japanese were new to Hollywood films, the violence and revealing scenes alone were enough to attract the audience, after all, the Japanese had never seen such movies before, and when they gradually got used to this kind of films, they began to feel that such films were empty, and they wanted to seek the connotation and personalization of the films, and then take out those classic films. The first step is to feed them first, and the second step is to eat well.

The market is like this, Monet makes money, and naturally there are people who don't make money, and the worst of them is Toho Pictures, which is one of Japan's six major monopoly film and television groups, on the one hand, because their production concept still retains wartime and pre-war thinking patterns, and many years of war and political clamping. As a result, the development of Japanese cinema has regressed, and it will take some time to change.

On the other hand, Monet's Hollywood films were overwhelmingly impacted, causing the box office of Japanese films to plummet and the production company to suffer heavy losses.

In order to change this status quo. Toho also planned to join the current hot Hollywood film market and cooperate with Monet, but Monet refused, not to mention that Monet is not short of money now and does not need to introduce investment. Even if he is short of money, he will never cooperate with a competitor like Toho in the film market in the future.

So Dongbao planned to set up his own door, thinking to himself, is it possible that without Monet, you Zhang butcher, we have to eat hairy pigs? After all, this is Japan, and you can get theater cooperation, can't we get it? In addition, we Dongbao itself has a fixed cooperative theater chain, but when Dongbao solved the theater problem, I found that there was another key problem, that is, they did not have a film to screen.

The broadcast rights of the films that are now being shown in Japan are all owned by Monet. If Toho wants to get the right to play, he must buy it from Monet, but the price set by Monet is extremely high, and Toho calculates it and finds that he won't make much money after buying it. So he set his sights on going to Hollywood to buy the film distribution rights in person.

So half a month later, Monet received an urgent telegram from Natasha: "Tony, something is wrong, a few guys from Japan went to Hollywood to buy the Japanese rights of movies at a high price, not only asking for a huge amount of goods, as if the money in their pockets was innumerable, but also picking the latest, hottest, and most award-winning film copyrights, what can I do?" ”

After Monet learned the news, he carefully studied the direction and selection criteria of these people's films, and determined that this should be the Japanese film monopoly of Toho Pictures and Kadokawa Films, because only these professionals will buy those films that are very professional, rich in connotation and meaning.

But it is precisely because Toho Kadokawa is a professional company and a professional that they made a mistake, that is, they did not take into account the market problems, and these award-winning films were made well. It's really good, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to win the award.

But they forget that American audiences have been cultivated by Hollywood for many years to develop their current movie-watching concepts and aesthetic concepts, while Japanese audiences do not have this cultivation process, so the fact that films that can sell well in the United States does not mean that they can also sell well in Japan, but that those movies that are trash in the eyes of Hollywood critics are just right for today's Japanese audiences. This point was summed up by Monet from the step-by-step development of Chinese films.

After thinking about it, Monet said to Natasha: "Don't worry, don't those Japanese want to buy movies?" Then let's sell him, and we will sell him as much as he wants! ”

Monet's idea was that since companies like Toho Kadokawa went to Hollywood to buy the Japanese distribution rights of films at a high price with checks, they couldn't stop Hollywood studios from selling to them, because 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 situation.

Now that they have fallen into a misunderstanding in Toho Kadokawa, they should push them into a dead end before they can react. It's impossible not to let those studios not sell their films to Toho Kadokawa, but Natasha can spend a little bit of money to let these studios 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 Monet, and at this point, Toho Kadokawa must also admit as a filmmaker.

At the same time, Monet also asked Natasha to secretly send someone to double all the films they bought at a low price and sell them to Toho Kadokawa, Monet bought these films mainly because they were cheap, and he 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.

In the following days, Toho Kadokawa and other Japanese manufacturers found that it seemed that overnight, everything they made in Hollywood was much smoother than before, 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 see the garbage movies shown by Monet, which made them puzzled.
