Chapter 357: The End Bet on Nobuyuki Izui (True Two in One)
When Sakai Izumi was being attacked, Kira was already outside the banquet hall, chatting with Nobuyuki Idei, who came first.
As expected, this is a full-fledged Japanese benzene restaurant.
The entire house of several hundred square meters only entertains two tables of guests every day, one at noon and one at night.
But the service is definitely not simple.
Just the two girls in kimonos standing at the door were tall and beautiful.
The supervisor in charge of greeting guests is a beautiful woman in her thirties. Female, soft-spoken and good-spoken, with a beautiful posture, you can tell at a glance that she has received special training.
In addition to the main building, there are small bridges and flowing water pavilions, as well as rockery trees, which are very elegant.
This is clearly the Jiangnan Garden that is modeled after us.
It's just that the Japanese benzene has made it smaller and more delicate, but it has its own characteristics.
Now Koraku and Nobuyuki Idei are drinking tea in the pavilion, blowing the wind, chatting and talking leisurely.
Compared to the high-flying Akio Morita, Nobuyuki Idei is much more approachable - of course, this is also for a genius like Xuluo, and for others, Idei is still an unattainable existence.
"Mr. Idei, thank you for your help!" Xuluo held up a cup of tea, "I'm a dumb talker, but I know what friendship is! If there is anything you need my help with in the future, please feel free to speak, I am obliged!"
Why did Xuluo say such a thing?
The reason is simple, Nobuyuki Idei has already helped him solve the contract problem with JonnyJr.
Who is JonnyJr.?
This group is the young group that Chen Xiaoxu and Xuluo saw in Nakameguro Park last year, which is the future S/MAP!
It's just that they haven't officially debuted yet, so the name JonnyJr. that they use for the time being, running around on various occasions, increasing their popularity, and sharpening themselves.
Xuluo inquired last year, JonnyJr. belongs to the most famous men's idol agency in Japan - Genesys Agency.
Genesys was established as early as the 70s, first launched a generation of folk song idol Xiang Hiromi, and then the more famous Sanada Hiroyuki, Noguchi Tono, Nishijo Hideki, Sawada Kenji - especially Nishiro Hideki, who once had an affair with Mei Yanfang, is a very famous singer in Xiangjiang.
In the 80s, they were even more beautiful, with Kondo Masahiko, Nomura Yoshio, Tahara Toshihiko Tahara trio; The astringent persimmon team composed of Masahiro Motoki, Toshikazu Fukawa, and Yuei Yakumaru; Kazuki Mohoshi, Junichi Yamamoto, Hiroyuki Sato, Atsuki Sato, and Akira Akasaka form GENJI and so on.
Among them, the most famous is of course the super idol Masahiko Kondo, whose songs have been covered by countless Xiangjiang singers.
But Kondo is best known not for his songs, but for having two of the biggest singers of the 80s at the same time - Akina Nakamori and Seiko Matsuda.
This is something that all Japanese men envy and hate.
Genesys doesn't just have superstars, they also have a future.
Every year, an average of 200 boys aged 9-15 will become their trainees through various channels, and after several years of various training, selection, and elimination, finally a few or a dozen groups or newcomers will be launched every year.
And then at the same time, it will be eliminated through the market, and in the end, the best stars will be left. ….
Think about it, with so many idol groups and idols, how terrifying is Genesys in the Japanese show business?
But then again.
The above sentence illustrates their status, but also their flaws.
Genesys is just a "terrifying presence in show business".
What is show business in Japan?
Not even a fart!
The annual output value of each of the hundreds of clubs under the six major consortia is higher than the output value created by the entire entertainment industry.
Not to mention a super strong existence like Sony.
The scale and power of the Genesys firm have expanded tenfold, and in front of Sony, they are the younger brothers of the younger brothers.
So now, when Nobuyuki Idei, who is so popular at Sony, talks to Hiroshi Kitagawa, the chairman of Genesy's office, when Sony wants to buy their JonnyJr. group, how do you ask Kitagawa to refuse?
He didn't want to talk about it.
But Nobuyuki Idei didn't give him a chance to refuse.
Be Sony's friend, or be Sony's enemy.
You have to choose one.
It is impossible for a normal person to choose the second option.
After looking for all the relationships, no one dared to resist Nobuyuki Idei, Kitagawa could only humiliately agree to this condition and transfer JonnyJr.'s agent contract to Sony Music.
Even at this time, he didn't know that Nobuyuki Idei had come to talk about JonnyJr.'s belonging out of a solemn request from Xuluo, otherwise Nobuyuki Idei wouldn't have paid attention to such a trivial matter at all.
Kitagawa Ku also thought that Sony had taken a fancy to JonnyJr.'s development potential, so he wanted to snatch his future potential boy group.
Among the dozens of groups that have been cultivated in the last three years, JonnyJr. is the most superstar fan, and Kitagawa Hiroshi originally had high hopes for them to shine in Nippon again.
Even Kitagawa is ready to make their debut this fall!
As a result, it is now in vain, and it is very miserable.
The price paid by Sony is only a meagre $10 million.
This seems to be a lot of money, and it is also a lot of money for Genesys & Associates, but the key is that it is a great humiliation for Kitagawa Koko.
Leave this matter out of the way.
Nobuyuki Idei knows that Kitagawa is unhappy, but you still have to hold back if you are unhappy, and I do things at Sony, and I never change my attitude because of other people's likes and dislikes.
What Nobuyuki Idei cares about the most is how grateful he can get in exchange for helping Xuluo.
Now it looks like it's worth it.
Looking at the meaning of Xuluo solemnly thanking him, that is, the favor is not small.
And that made him happy.
The success of "My Fair Daddy" only represents the past.
In the future, he will need more and greater success in order to establish great prestige within Sony and march towards that throne!
You know, Akio Morita will grow up, and his age is not too young!
In ten years, he may be in good health, but after ten years, Sony's president will be replaced.
I have outstanding talents, outstanding abilities, many friends, and enough merits, so why can't I fight for it?
Of course, Nobuyuki Idei is still far from Sony's representative director, and now Sony's president is still Norio Oga, and the next step will definitely be to take over. ….
Nobuyuki Idei can become the president of Sony within five years, which is already very powerful.
So now he is desperately trying to fight for merit and make his achievements greater, so that Akio Morita can always notice the existence of such an excellent subordinate.
If Akio Morita likes him, then even if Norio Oga becomes the president, there is no way to change the trend that the next president will be Nobuyuki Izui.
And how can we strive to make meritorious service and make great contributions as soon as possible?
It's very simple, continue to look for Xuluo!
If Xuluo gives him three or five more projects similar to "My Fair Daddy", so that Sony Colombia can take off the hat of loss and become a thriving existence among the six major Hollywood Docks, wouldn't this save the face of the elder and make all Japanese people proud of Sony?
Otherwise, Nobuyuki Idei was embarrassed to bully an old man in Japan and snatched his idol group.
……
Coming back to his senses, Nobuyuki Idei smiled in response to Void's gratitude, "Needless to say, Mr. Void, we're friends, aren't we?"
"Of course!"
Xuluo touched him with his cup and muttered, "Mr. Idei, I have a proposal."
"You say!"
Nobuyuki Idei came to the spirit, but on the surface he still sat firmly on Mount Tai.
"You know I paid a fortune for the film and television adaptation of Mr. Michael Cratton's Jurassic Park, right?" Xuluo asked.
"I've heard of it." Nobuchi Idei: "At the beginning, you didn't have any money, so you borrowed a lot of money from all over the place, and only then did you get 3 million and buy the adaptation rights of "Jurassic Park"."
"Do you believe that this "Jurassic Park" will be a cross-era work?" "It will surpass Star Wars and become the best and most profitable movie series in the history of the country!"
Nobuyuki Idei's breath was short, "You...... Is this your judgment, Mr. Void?"
"Yes, I'm sure." The Tao of Void Color.
Anyway, others believe it or not, he doesn't know, since he saw those big dinosaurs in his memory, Xuluo was convinced that nothing could stop these big dinosaurs from advancing.
How strong Xuluo's vision is, people all over the world know.
Take the success of "My Fair Daddy" as an example, although the script is a very important factor, the director Columbus and the star Robin Williams are equally important.
Who are these two people looking for?
Isn't it just Xuluo?
So his vision is really rare in the world.
"Star Wars" is the highest-grossing film in the series so far.
Xuluo said that the box office of the series "Jurassic Park" can be higher than that of "Star Wars"!?
You must know that the global box office of the Star Wars trilogy is 775 million, 549 million, and 475 million respectively, with a total of 1.799 billion US dollars!
The "Jurassic Park" series can exceed 1.8 billion US dollars, how sensational and terrifying is that?
Nobuyuki Idei couldn't believe it intellectually, because "Jurassic Park" hadn't come out yet.
But he subconsciously felt that Xuluo was right, because Xuluo could not fail - none of the projects that Xuluo participated in so far failed!
Even the instant noodle industry, which does not belong to his profession, is now doing well in China, and it is soaring towards the scale of a large company! ….
But that's not the point.
The success of Xuluo has nothing to do with others.
Because this copyright has always been in his hands, even when he was very weak before, several giants wanted to take the copyright of "Jurassic Park" from him, but Xuluo did not give in, and stubbornly guarded all its copyrights.
But now Xuluo deliberately mentioned in front of himself that the "Jurassic Park" series will become the first money-making movie in the history of the country, is it just to show off?
No way!
Then that's all that's left......
Nobuyuki Idei's breathing became even shorter: "What does Mr. Void mean...... Can we work together further? Can you share copyright?"
The original meaning of "further cooperation" is actually that Kira has already agreed with Nobuyuki Idei that the release of "Jurassic Park" will be handed over to Sony Columbia.
If you go one step further, then it must be copyright sharing, right?
Faced with Nobuyuki Idei's urgency, Xuluo smiled slightly and asked him, "Mr. Idei, what do you want most?" Is it to make money for Sony Columbia? Or the highest glory for Sony Columbia?"
Nobuyuki Idei is of course a smart person, and he knows that Xuluo's most reliable friend in Hollywood is himself, so there are many interests between the two, and they are very strong allies.
So he thought about it for a moment and said, "Of course, it's the best of both worlds, but if I had to choose one or the other, I think glory is what Sony needs more than money!" We
Need more and greater respect!"
Because of Sony's acquisition of Columbia, various things have happened since then, and it has become a laughing stock in the whole country.
Even with the success of "My Fair Daddy" and the success of blocking many people's mouths, this does not mean that Sony will not be ridiculed.
The rise of Columbia is not a good day, and it makes money and has a reputation, and it has the ability to dominate the crowd, so Sony's business is not called a success.
For Sony, they don't rely on Columbia to make money to support their families.
Sony's own business is very strong, and Columbia is just giving them a platform for publicity, a representation of their image - originally thought so, but now the image is ugly and shameful.
Therefore, what Colombia needs to get rid of most now is the image of the wronged leader, which should also be Akio Morita's greatest pursuit.
Even if he uses money to smash it, he hopes to smash it out of a good image.
"If you're successful at Sony Columbia, it should be even better for the rest of your career, right?" "Please don't blame me for being so straightforward, because Mr. Idei, you are my friend, and of course I hope that my friend can rise step by step, join hands with me, and stand at the top of the world to see the scenery!"
Nobuyuki Idei smiled when he heard this, and he said confidently and seriously: "I don't hide it from Mr. False, if *** is the first in Hollywood, the first in the world, then Sony will always be your friend in the future, I promise you!"
He didn't say directly, "I'll cover you when I become the chairman of the director's office," but the meaning was the same. ….
[In other words, the best way to read aloud and listen to books is a, change the source a, .uanyuana.] 】
Xuluo nodded slightly, "So I have a total of two cooperation plans here, and I want to discuss them with you, Mr. Idei."
"Please!"
Nobuyuki Idei involuntarily sat up straight, as if he was facing the president and the elder.
Xuluo said: "The first one is "Jurassic Park", you also know that when I bought its adaptation rights at a high price, I don't know how many people were angry and ridiculed! So I won't let out its copyright, not anyone! It's my obsession with revenge! I'm going to let the group of white elders open their eyes to see who is the one who really has a vision!"
Izui Shin's heart is slightly dissatisfied, you still don't give up the publishing rights, what are you talking about with me?
But he didn't bother Xuluo.
Next, Xuluo said, "But I can share the investment ratio with Sony, and I can give 30% of the investment amount!" If you believe me, jump in and get 30% of the profit income, as well as ...... And the glory that Sony is also the producer of Jurassic Park! It's all made and produced by Sony, so I'm sure no one will take Sony's role lightly, right?"
Nobu Idei's heart moved, and he pondered, "Just box office benefits? Peripheral products and derivative rights are not?"
Xu Luo said: "The income from the copyright of video tapes and TV broadcasts also has Sony's share. But I can't let the peripheral derivative rights and interests, and Spielberg completely collapsed with me because of this."
Nobuyuki Idei thought for a moment and said, "Let me think about it!"
For such a big matter, he was not willing to make a decision lightly.
"Actually, Sony has made a lot of profits! In addition to the amount of investment, Sony will also have a 12% profit in terms of distribution, right? I also have to give James Cameron, who also has a 5% share of box office profits. I only get about half of it."
"I'm not thinking about profit." Nobuyuki Idei smiled, "Please tell me your second plan!"
"The second plan is that since you need to succeed in a short period of time, then I will work with Sony Columbia on at least 6 films in three years, and I guarantee that the global box office will not be less than 300 million US dollars!"
These films are jointly invested by both of us, each of which occupies half of the copyright and enjoys half of the derivative rights. In this way, these movies can be officially counted
Sony Columbia made it, right? You can count it as your merit, right?"
Nobuyuki Idei had thought of this a long time ago, but he shook his head, "Mr. Xu, with all due respect, if it was all joint development, my credit is not too great...... In addition to these 6 films, I would like Sony to collaborate with you on 3 films in the same way as before, as well as ......."
He paused and said word by word, "Can you win an Oscar for Sony?"
Xuluo was stunned, he thought to himself, you really dare to think about it!
I just got a Palme d'Or from Cannes, and now you want the Oscar for Best Film!?
This is currently recognized as the highest honor in the film industry! ….
Nobuyuki Idei had expected such a reaction from Xuluo.
This also fully shows that even Xuluo didn't expect that he would have such great ambitions!
That's right!
He continued: "Mr. Xu, don't worry, I will give you the greatest compensation for the three screenplays that are shared! You have to believe me, I won't let my friends suffer if Izumi Shinyuki!"
"The script is easy to say." Xuluo also came back to his senses, "But the Oscar is ...... Where can I control it?"
Nobuyuki Idei nodded, "I know your dilemma, too! But without expectations, there is no motivation to act! I hope you can consider this when writing your script!
It doesn't matter what the box office is, winning awards is the biggest goal! As long as I can win the Oscar for Best Picture, then my position in the future will be completely secure!"
Nonsense!
The movie made by Sony Columbia led by you actually won the supreme Oscar Gold Award, that is definitely the whole day cheering for you!
This kind of achievement can push you all the way to become the president of Sony and the chairman of Sony's representative director!
But where do I find a movie like this?
That's only one Oscar-winning movie a year!
Even if I have a memory reboot, there has been no such movie so far.
If there is, I keep it for myself, how can I give it to you?
No.
Xuluo's thoughts flashed, but they immediately changed.
An Oscar for Best Picture is also very important on Xuluo's side, and with it, Xuluo's cloth stitching monster can be regarded as really gaining a firm foothold in Hollywood.
But if you can use such a movie, you can let Nobuyuki Idei smoothly step onto the chairmanship of Sony, isn't that what you have always hoped for?
Only when Nobuyuki Idei becomes the president of Sony, then my road to Hollywood will go more and more smoothly!
After all, Sony has bought Columbia in Hollywood, and it is already one of the six largest in Hollywood.
In the case that other Hollywood giants are not reliable, I need Sony Columbia's support and backing for my initial development. - The distribution power of these Hollywood giants is the most powerful weapon, without their support, no matter how powerful a small and medium-sized film and television production company is, it will be stuck and can only accept exploitation.
Sony unreservedly supported me, so that I could gradually develop and gradually have my own power, so as to finally conquer Hollywood!
Compared to the ultimate goal of conquering Hollywood, it seems that an Oscar for Best Picture is nothing.
I have so much inspiration for the future, I can't just have one chance to win an Oscar, right?
Thinking of this, Xuluo said, "Mr. Idei, the other three are coming in the same way as before, and I have no opinion...... But about the Oscars, all I can say is that I tried my best! Because before the script is written, before the movie is made, before the lottery is drawn, no one can guarantee it. If I promise, I'm lying to you."
"Of course, I'm not forcing you to achieve this goal, and this kind of script doesn't require you to write it this year or next." Nobuchi Idei, "But I really want to have a movie like this
, so Mr. Xu, please work hard! I'm sure you can do it!"
As he spoke, he stood up directly and bowed to Xuluo.
Nobuyuki Idei really believes in the genius of the screenwriter of Xuluo.
If you can write so many different kinds of films, and even change books to win the Cannes Palme d'Or and the Cannes Best Actor Award, why can't Xuluo win the Oscars?
Business operations, box office hits are a sign of success.
But monetary profits alone without corresponding awards are always unsatisfactory.
I can make money again, and I can hold the trophy in my hand, so that I can subdue those old people of the country, and I can get the praise and affirmation of the elders from the heart!
