Chapter 011: Specializing in Killing

Kentaro Miyamoto parked the car when he arrived at the place, and the first person he saw was Hideki Ishihara. So, he took the initiative to greet him: "Brother Xiushu, what a coincidence." ”

Hideki Ishihara said calmly: "It's not a coincidence, but I'm waiting for you here." ”

Kentaro Miyamoto immediately smiled and said, "I'm really flattered." How can I let the second son of the Karuizawa Group, one of the top ten chaebols, wait for me. ”

Hideki Ishihara didn't beat around the bush and said, "I'm going to make a new movie, and I need someone to invest in it." ”

The smile on Kentaro Miyamoto's face began to show bitterness: "You really don't treat me as an outsider. Everyone knows that you are a master at making movies. If the relationship isn't good enough, you won't talk about investment.

However, as far as I know, you have made many movies over the years, but none of them have made money. To be precise, there is not even a movie that can almost save the capital. ”

Hideki Ishihara did not defend his big truth: "Are you going to vote or not?" ”

Even if Kentaro Miyamoto knew that it was money in vain, he had no intention of refusing at all: "Vote, you must vote." This is Brother Xiushu who looks up to me. ”

Hideki Ishihara said unhurriedly: "I didn't mean to force you. Even if you don't vote, it doesn't matter at all. It's a big deal, and I once again sacrificed myself to find Misako to invest. Anyway, I'm used to it. ”

Kentaro Miyamoto sighed, "Sister Misako is really great. It is really not easy for her to buy so many orders for your personal feelings and hobbies without regrets. ”

Hideki Ishihara said bluntly: "My sacrifice is even greater. Nowadays, I am a man who eats soft rice. ”

Kentaro Miyamoto didn't believe this at all and said, "Come less." If it's really like what you say, then you're also eating soft rice. ”

Hideki Ishihara said unhurriedly: "It's because I know that you made a lot of money last year that I opened this mouth." ”

Kentaro Miyamoto got straight to the point and said, "How much do you want?" Give me an accurate number. ”

Hideki Ishihara suddenly became expressionless and said, "Why don't you ask me what genre and subject matter I am going to shoot a new movie?" ”

Kentaro Miyamoto didn't smile, and he didn't laugh either: "Is there a difference in essence?" In the end, it's not about making money at a loss. ”

Hideki Ishihara didn't get angry and said, "What, even you don't think well of me?" ”

Kentaro Miyamoto said calmly: "It's not that I'm not optimistic about you, but ...... How so? Others are playing to their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses and doing what they are best at. When it comes to you, why do you have to play up your weaknesses and avoid your strengths? ”

Hideki Ishihara expressed what he was thinking, "It's more fun to challenge yourself." ”

Kentaro Miyamoto said in his heart: "Even if it is according to what you said, shouldn't you also think about the matter of capital preservation first?"

Even Hollywood's most famous directors think about cost. Very few of them don't think about it, and the executives of the film companies will also take it seriously.

No matter how high the artistry is and how good the reputation is, it still needs a strong support from the box office. There is a cost to shoot a movie. No matter how small the cost, it is money. ”

Hideki Ishihara said thoughtfully, "If someone else says this to me, I don't like to hear it." Since you said it, what do you think? ”

Kentaro Miyamoto didn't hide it at all and said, "You know, I like ACGN." At RB, not only young people, but also many middle-aged people and even the elderly like ACGN.

Some of them would rather not buy a car, buy a house, fall in love, or get married, but still invest their money in this aspect of their personal hobbies.

Since there is such a vast market, why don't we start with this aspect? Isn't it okay to shoot a movie adapted from a comic, a novel, a game, or an anime?

There are many movies adapted from Marvel in the United States that have achieved artistry, good reputation, and high box office! "Superman", "Batman", "Spider-Man" and many more have left good memories for generations after generations.

The 2019 film "Joker" directed by Todd Phillips, coupled with Joaquin Phoenix's palace-level performance, is undoubtedly a movie classic.

After the online game "World of Warcraft" became popular all over the world for many years, the movie "Warcraft" adapted and filmed also achieved a good result. There have always been rumors from the outside world that the second part of the movie "Warcraft" is also in preparation. ”

Hideki Ishihara pointed out: "If you make a movie like this, the adaptation rights of an IP alone will be a lot of money. ”

Kentaro Miyamoto said loudly: "If it's a small fight, it's not interesting." Of course, this film still has to be based on the RB domestic market first.

As for the choice of adaptations, there must first be a certain amount of heat and popularity. Secondly, there must be actors with a certain fan appeal and popularity.

Secondly, there is naturally no shortage of old actors who can act, after all, their existence can ensure the quality of a film work to the greatest extent. In the end, it's your ability as a director. ”

Hideki Ishihara smiled lightly and said, "You also said that you missed the most critical point, funds." The amount of money required for filming is definitely not small. In addition to you, I'm going to have to pull a few more in. ”

Kentaro Miyamoto is by no means talking about it. He knows very well that the other party's loss-making movies are all small-budget movies. Not only that, but it is also a niche art film, not a commercial film.

In his personal opinion, Hideki Ishihara's past movies were more like playing with tickets. Once the investment is large, with his many years of understanding of Hideki Ishihara, the other party will definitely become serious.

In addition, the Karuizawa Group already has a number of well-established film production companies and theaters. Therefore, there will be no problems with later releases, publicity, etc.

If Hideki Ishihara really accepts these suggestions from himself, even if it is not a bumper harvest at the box office and word of mouth, it may not really be a loss-making investment project.

Hideki Ishihara pondered for a moment and said, "Are you really going to play so big?" ”

Kentaro Miyamoto looked into his eyes and said seriously, "You won't be timid, will you?" ”

Hideki Ishihara said loudly: "When the time comes, don't regret it." ”

Kentaro Miyamoto's hands gestured and said, "Whoever regrets it, who is a turtle." ”

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Hideki Ishihara said no more. At the same time, it was indeed a challenge for him.
