Chapter 82: The Summer Festival
What conditions?
Shirakawa Kaede looked at everyone, "The investment is made in the name of Shirakawa Electric, and in the opening and ending credits of the movie, it needs to appear separately in the form of special acknowledgements. ”
After a slight groan, Takeshi Kitano nodded in agreement.
Originally, it was very common for movies to be sponsored, but usually the names of the sponsors were grouped together and swiped across the screen in a scrolling manner.
For the audience, sometimes they don't even feel anything, and the special acknowledgment that Shirakawa Kaede asked for was that there were only a few words "Shirakawa Electric Co., Ltd." on the entire screen.
Eye-catching and unique is the effect that Shirakawa Kaede wants, although it is only a few seconds, but it is enough to leave an initial impression on the audience.
"One more small request"
Just when Takeshi Kitano and the others were thinking about what kind of club Shirakawa Electric was, Shirakawa Kaede's voice appeared again.
"Hey, don't go too far, kid"
Special thanks, it still appears twice at the beginning and end of the movie, and it will cause discomfort to the audience if it comes again.
Takeshi Kitano was afraid that Shirakawa Kaede would make some moths again.
"Senior Brother Kitano, don't be nervous," Shirakawa Kaede motioned to him to calm down, "It's just to help Shirakawa Electric's products advertise in the movie." ”
"Eh, what's the product?" Speaking of this, not only Takeshi Kitano, but also Masayuki Mori and Mikiko Matsuda were interested.
I only know that Shirakawa Kaede became the president of San, but I don't know what his club does.
Kaede Shirakawa smiled mysteriously, "Vinyl record player, Walkman."
"Vinyl record player," Takeshi Kitano glanced at Kaede Shirakawa with some surprise. This kid just writes songs, and now he simply produces a machine that plays songs.
"Is this a behind-the-scenes job?" Kitano Takeshi turned his head to look at Mori Masayuki and asked curiously.
Sen Changxing couldn't cry or laugh, his good partner at work, he could always say something surprising.
However, he was interested in another product of Shirakawa Kaede Company, "In addition to the vinyl record player, another Walkman... Forgive me for being clumsy, I haven't heard of it. ”
Not only him, but Yuko Tanaka was also a little curious. Kaede Shirakawa gave her a vinyl record player last time, and it's still at home.
But Walkman, it's the first time she's heard that Shirakawa-kun has a new product so soon?
"It's an interesting gadget, you just think of it as a portable version of a vinyl record player."
The Walkman has just been on sale for a month, according to the information that Kaede Shirakawa received. In the first month, Sony's shipments were only about 3,000 units, which was not the slightest splash in the entire RB.
It's normal that Takeshi Kitano hasn't heard of them, but none of this matters. The important thing is that Shirakawa Kaede wants them to appear in the footage of the movie.
Product placement, this word must be familiar to everyone.
And "That Summer's Quiet Sea" is a modern film, and there is no sense of disobedience in the arrangement of vinyl record player and walkman.
Takeshi Kitano, who figured this out, didn't mind too much. As long as it's appropriate, it's reasonable to advertise for sponsors.
"Since it's Shirakawa Kid, your club is involved in the investment, so it's normal to advertise." Kitano Takeshi waved his hand and generously agreed to Shirakawa Kaede's request.
"Okay, I wish you all the best for the movie!" Kaede Shirakawa raised his glass.
"Martial arts are prosperous!"
Everyone in the banquet raised their wine glasses and converged to the center, "ding", the sound of the collision of wine glasses was like an agreement, and everyone's faces invariably bloomed with smiles.
"Huh--! Bang! ”
Outside the window, above the Sumida River, a brilliant firework blooms in the silence of the night.
The red light that swept through the curtain of the izakaya reflected the faces of the people.
Everyone stopped talking tacitly and turned to face out the window.
Like a signal, the fireworks just now vanished, and one after another the brilliance rose into the air, and then exploded and shone above the heads of the crowd.
There was a mixture of explosions of fireworks and the cheers of the crowd below. The annual summer festival is the busiest time of year near the Sumida River in Tokyo.
By the light of the fireworks, you can clearly see that both sides of the river embankment are crowded with people coming and going.
People invariably raise their heads and gaze at the night sky, admiring its colorful competition, flowing over the land, like a dream.
A girl dressed in a kimono yukata folds her hands and makes a wish that belongs to her under the night sky.
Shirakawa Kaede quietly turned his head, and Yuko Tanaka's watery eyes also quietly came. They looked at each other and smiled, and turned their heads tacitly to continue to appreciate this exclusive heartbeat limited to summer.
"Huh--! Bang! ”
The fire tree Yinhua poured down like thousands of fireflies, and countless faces looking forward to beauty and happiness were illuminated.
"It's so beautiful," Shirakawa Kaede couldn't help but sigh.
"Hmm" Yuko Tanaka's voice echoed softly in his ears.
The quiet night, the quiet fragrance.
…
The Walkman's matter has not been completed, and Shirakawa Kaede has taken another job for himself, but he is still semi-forced to drive the ducks to the shelves.
However, for the sake of Shirakawa Electric, Shirakawa Feng sacrificed himself without hesitation, not because of a beautiful senior sister or anything.
Fortunately, the theme of the movie is special, and the shooting is not difficult, most of them are some fixed shots, and even the exterior scenes are relatively simple.
It's better and less troublesome. According to Kitano's prediction, if it goes well, it may be done in a month.
According to him, it will definitely not affect your Shirakawa boy's class, and it is a big deal to drop out of school directly from Meiji.
The last sentence is a joke, and of course Shirakawa Kaede didn't actually tell the truth to Takeshi Kitano.
Shirakawa Electric's Walkman has not yet been seen, and now there is no such product at all.
But what is this, isn't the shell already designed?
When the time comes, directly assemble an empty shell and plug in the headphones in a pretend. Say goodbye to your waist, who knows that your Shirakawa Walkman is fake.
What Shirakawa Kaede wants is the logo on the walkman in the camera, and it will be next year when the movie is released.
At that time, according to the plan, Shirakawa Electric's Walkman had already begun mass production and market.
Perfect, seamless.
Shirakawa Kaede's small abacus crackled.
As for talking about conscience, blushing or something, I'm sorry, you don't need that to do business.
And everything he did was a white lie.
There is competition to make progress, and Sony's big brother is dominant, which is definitely not a good thing for consumers.
If you look at Shirakawa Electric's Flashman, it is much cheaper, and it is a blessing for many shy consumers.
Just when Shirakawa Kaede was secretly thinking about Sony's big brother, the patent he had previously told Kobayashi Asuka to inquire about the Walkman finally had an eyebrow.
Seeing the fax document that was squeezed crooked by Kobayashi's world-minded posture, Shirakawa Kaede immediately came to his senses.
