Chapter 121: Eccentric Hanyu-kun
The news about Warner's starter meeting spread quickly, but it dissipated just as quickly.
No one cares about other people's affairs all the time, and it is fun to watch the excitement of big people, but their own lives are real.
Contemporary neon, the economy is high-spirited, there are opportunities everywhere, and people who are down-to-earth and willing to work can always harvest a better life.
When the bubble era came, everyone began to float in the sky, and they all felt that they could fly better, and they disdained to stand steadily.
But when the bubble burst, when everyone fell from the sky, they found that there was no place to step on it, and they all remembered the current era of standing and walking.
Hideki Hanyu is a celebrity, but his life is very simple, and after breaking up with his girlfriend, he lives leisurely alone.
Throughout the second half of January, in addition to petting the cat at home to create, he also took the time to receive a few small awards, showing off his presence in the neon literary world.
Just after the end of the year, the Neon Literary Awards will start again, and it will last until around May, during which the awards will not stop every month.
In today's era, there may be people who become writers for their ideals, but most people don't want fame and fortune.
Writers are human beings and have to eat.
In the upward era, the "mourning" of neon traditional literature and art has faded.
What's more, Hideki Hanyu is not a character who will be sad all day long.
In his paintings and texts, there is no snow in the paintings, and then he tells others that the snow is also lonely.
He must have a snowman in the snow, a child with an innocent smile, and a sunshine as bright as in winter.
No matter what era, there is always someone who wants to make everyone smile and move forward, and there are always works that give people hope.
In fact, to put it bluntly, he is a layman, a layman who never hides himself.
name, he loves.
Money, he likes.
Beauty is naturally indispensable.
After the time comes to February, winter enters its final tail.
Hideki Hanyu released his eleventh picture book, and by the way, he signed the fourth reprint contract for "Love, Go Home", which once again earned more than 60 million.
At the same time, after more than two months of tug-of-war negotiations, Shogakukan and Shueisha finally negotiated a manga collaboration.
Shueisha, of course, didn't agree for nothing.
For the manga "Saint Seiya", Hideki Hanyu and Shogakukan established a Constellation Culture Co., Ltd. to operate the copyright of "Saint Seiya".
Among them, Hideki Hanyu holds 30% of the shares through Cloud Culture, Shogakukan holds 30% of the shares, Hitotsubashi Publishing Group holds 20% of the shares, and the remaining 20% belongs to Shueisha.
Twenty percent of Shueisha's stake is the price Shogakukan paid for this partnership.
The daily operation of Constellation Culture Co., Ltd. is handled by Shogakukan, and major decisions are made by the four parties.
The copyright authorization of "Saint Seiya", the development of peripheral derivatives and other rights, no longer belong to Shogakukan, but are all responsible for Constellation Culture Co., Ltd.
Although the other three wore a pair of pants except for Hideki Hanyu's culture on the clouds, Hideki Hanyu didn't care.
Because the establishment of Constellation Culture Co., Ltd. itself represents breaking the rules and being able to hold 30% of the peripheral income in their hands, other comic writers don't even dare to think about it.
For this reason, the three parties of the Shogakukan and Hideki Hanyu signed a strict confidentiality agreement, strictly prohibiting him from revealing any details of the cooperation.
After getting such a large benefit, he also agreed to the royalty distribution plan proposed by the other party in the next cooperation negotiations with Masami Cheda.
The manga sales of "Saint Seiya" are already very average, with a total sales of only 35 million copies in the previous life, and the best-selling manga list hovers outside 70 all year round, and the total royalties are less than 2 billion yen.
What makes "Saint Seiya" really makes money is actually the income from peripheral derivatives.
In the figurines category alone, the Sacred Clothes Myth series has sold more than 15 million pieces and sold more than 120 billion yen since 2000.
Hanyu Hideki naturally doesn't care much about that bit of royalty income, and he also needs benefits to make his collaborators work harder.
Of course, whether it is royalties or peripheral derivatives income, it takes time to accumulate slowly, and the sales of 120 billion figures seem to be a lot, but it is also a full 20 years to create.
The most important thing for Hideki Hanyu now, of course, is to let the manga be serialized first.
After taking the time to communicate with Masami Cheda, I found that the other party was worthy of being the author of the original work, and he had many different opinions about Saint Seiya, and made up for many shortcomings in the original work.
This also allowed Hideki Hanyu to hand over the creative work to the other party with confidence after providing all the scripts, and successfully achieved the achievement of 'hand-off manga artist'.
After Hanyu Hideki was busy with all the things of "Saint Seiya", the time had already passed the middle of February, and the cloud club on the side of Shimbashi in Minato Ward had entered the busiest time.
The cloud film ushered in a series of advertisements for spring products, once again testing the quality of the works of the cloud film.
Asako Hirohashi shuttled through major colleges and universities with her subordinates, and began to recruit and reserve talents for the cloud screening.
With the beginning of the holidays in primary and secondary schools, the selected actors have been in place one after another, and the crew of "Love, Go Home", which has been prepared for a long time, was officially launched.
As a best-selling adaptation of the movie, the filming of "Love, Homecoming" naturally attracted the attention of many media, and book fans also paid great attention to it.
Therefore, when the starring lineup was announced for the first time, it immediately aroused heated discussions.
All the actors, except for Misako Konno, who has acting experience, are almost all amateurs, especially the two protagonists' grandmother and grandson, who have no acting experience at all.
Many film critics questioned this, worried that because of the amateur's acting skills, such a touching and healing film would be ruined.
In order to protect Keiko's mother-in-law and young Sakai Masato, the crew helped the two refuse all interviews.
And there is no interview with the actors, Hanyu Hideki, the original author and screenwriter, naturally became the object of the media want to interview.
At the suggestion of producer Kiyoshi Shimazu, Hideki Hanyu did not accept any media interviews, but let the media talk about it, and he hid in the new office building of the cloud film and was busy with other things.
The three members of the Genki Girls group graduated from high school and officially entered the training stage before their debut.
Recently, the three girls have lived the same life as Akina Nakamori, and they need to attend various classes every day from morning to night.
Compared to Akina Nakamori, although they have been trained for a longer time, Hideki Hanyu has higher requirements for them.
Akina Nakamori is still in the Warner Pioneer plan, and she still follows the model of a traditional idol.
But in Hanyu Hideki's thoughts, the Genki Girl Group wants to become an unprecedented mature girl group.
Vocal music, body, dance, etiquette, and even require each of them to master a musical instrument.
You don't have to be good at playing an instrument, but at least you can play your own songs smoothly.
Recently, Hanyu Hideki has been busy, and he is helping choreographing the debut song of the Genki girl.
Because music like "Youth Memorial Book" is not suitable for too intense singing and dancing performances.
Therefore, he learned from the experience of the Wanwan Little Tigers song "Love", and designed a unique sign language dance for the debut song "Youth Memorial Book" for the three girls.
He invited an expert in sign language to teach himself the sign language of the "Youth Commemorative Book" first, and then designed different dance moves for sign language movements.
And if he wants to teach the three girls, he must first learn it himself.
So during this time, he actually practiced while choreographing, and then found problems and revised them, and practiced again until the choreography that met his requirements was finally completed.
After the sign language dance of the debut song was released, Hanyu Hideki did not teach the three Genki girls for the first time, but decided to find someone to judge how it was first.
This sign language dance specially designed by Hanyu Hideki for the "Memorial Book of Youth" was watched by Asako Hirohashi, Shota Yoshioka, Genki Girls, and a part of the randomly selected employees.
and Akina Nakamori, who officially returned to the Minato headquarters for training, and ran to join in the excitement during recess.
As for why there is no last partner, Shinsuke Ito, it is entirely because the other party is far away at Shochiku Pictures' Ofune Photography Agency, filming the film "Love, Home".
Ofune Photography is far away in Kanagawa, and Shinsuke Ito is too busy to shoot, so how can he have time to go back to Tokyo to judge Hideki Hanyu's sign language dance.
When the song sounds, Hideki Hanyu uses a simple alternating left and right forward movement behind his back, showing the cuteness and liveliness of a girl.
As the song sounds, the dance with sign language movements begins.
He did not completely imitate the performance of the Little Tigers "Love", standing and using sign language throughout the whole process, but designed dance moves with sign language, so people need to move.
In the process of choreography, sign language is used by Hideki Hanyu to express the song's yearning and nostalgia for youth.
The matching dance moves are to let the audience see the cute and lively characteristics of the energetic girl.
At the end of the song, Hideki Hanyu's movements also stopped, and the audience immediately discussed.
"The sign language is really distinctive, and the dancing is cute, and Hanyu-san's choreography didn't disappoint us."
Asako Hirohashi did not hesitate to praise.
Shota Yoshioka leaned into Asako Hirohashi's ear and whispered, "I said that Hanyu-san should make his debut in women's clothing." ”
Hearing Shota Yoshioka's words, Asako Hirohashi immediately remembered the copy of the trial tape that had been kept by Shinsuke Ito.
Like Hideki Hanyu, a prodigal son, if you want to play that video when you get married, you don't know how long it will take.
"Hanyu-sensei's choreography is amazing!"
Among the three energetic girls, Yoko Minamino was the first to speak, and her eyes were full of adoration when she looked at Hideki Hanyu.
The other two members of the Genki Girl also followed closely and praised them together.
Several bigwigs praised them, and those randomly selected employees A, B, C, and D, how dare they say bad things about the elders at this time, of course, they also applaud.
Hanyu Hideki saw that everyone was complimenting, but Akina Nakamori didn't speak and asked curiously.
"Do you think there is a problem with Ming Cai-chan, just say it, I came to everyone this time to ask for advice."
In fact, Hanyu Hideki still cares more about Akina Nakamori's opinion, after all, Chubby not only learns ballet all year round, but also has a trustworthy aesthetic level.
However, Akina Nakamori didn't speak, not because she really had any opinions, but because she was a little envious of the Genki girl group.
For the Genki Girl Group, Hideki Hanyu not only provided a debut song, but also carefully designed such an innovative sign language dance, from the combination design to the debut.
can look at her again, she was directly left to Warner Pioneer to be fully responsible, except for some requirements on the publicity route, the specific content of her debut was not taken care of at all.
It's obviously an artist from the same firm, but Hanyu-kun is so partial, she doesn't want to give any opinions.
But when Hanyu Hideki took the initiative to ask Akina Nakamori a question, Akina Nakamori found that everyone's eyes were focused on her, and it would be a little strange if she didn't speak at this time.
"I think Hanyu's dance moves are well designed, but in order to take care of sign language, the front and back connections are still a little not smooth."
Akina Nakamori wanted to call Hanyu-kun like she had tried before, but the eyes of the people around her made her speak, and she was still embarrassed to say it.
"I feel this way too, and it seems that the details still need to be revised, so thank you very much for your opinion."
After getting the opinion he wanted, Hideki Hanyu beckoned everyone to leave, ready to continue the revision.
However, everyone left, but Shota Yoshioka stayed alone.
"Yoshioka-san has something to do with me?"
"Shimadzu producers said that the discussion of the film has begun to decline recently, and suggested that Hanyu-san find an opportunity to be interviewed by the media, preferably to attract public attention."
"I try my best, I can't control whether I can get attention or not."
"That was the suggestion of the Shimadzu producer, and I was only responsible for conveying it." Shota Yoshioka spreads his hands.
After passing the word, Shota Yoshioka didn't stay long, leaving Hideki Hanyu to continue pondering the choreography.
While thinking about the choreography, Hideki Hanyu was also thinking about the interview.
After all, the promotion of the film does not start after the production is completed, it needs to be continued throughout the production of the film until it is released.
In fact, because of the attention of the "Love, Go Home" movie, it is born with a group of moviegoers, which is why Neon Film Club likes to remake famous novels, after all, it is called its own traffic.
"Maybe I should go to the set and check it out, it seems that I have been shooting at Shochiku's big ship photography recently."
The plot of "Love, Home" is not complicated, except for some special plots, many scenes are filmed in the studio.
Even in the 80s, as long as the movie set is willing to pay for it, it can be presented very realistically, and those sets that look fake are mainly because the funds are not in place.
The filming scenes of "Love, Home" were very simple, so the set was relatively easy and the production cost was relatively small, so I don't know how much it saved compared to going on location.
In order to facilitate the filming at the Shochiku Ofune Studio, the filming of the entire film was basically completed in the Kamakura area of Kanagawa.
Thinking that it would take more than 100 kilometers to go back and forth, Hideki Hanyu did not hesitate, and after being busy all morning, he drove straight to Kamakura.
Although Kamakura is known as the backyard of Tokyo, after all, it is far away from Tokyo, and when you enter the city, you can clearly feel that the fast-paced atmosphere of Tokyo has disappeared.
Even in the vicinity of Ofune Studio, there are few media visits, which creates an undisturbed environment for film shooting.
By contacting Shinsuke Ito in advance, when Hideki Hanyu arrived outside the studio, there were already employees waiting for him in the clouds.
In this Ofune Photography Studio, which belongs to Shochiku Pictures and has given birth to many classics, Hideki Hanyu was led by the staff all the way, passing by one set after another, and soon arrived at the filming location of "Love, Home".
As far as the eye can see, the entire area is filled with all kinds of buildings, from my grandmother's dilapidated house to some that look like a small town setting.
The place where Shinsuke Ito and the crew are located is next to a prop bus, and they are filming the plot of Masao and his mother returning to the countryside.
Hideki Hanyu didn't immediately walk over, but whispered to the employees around him, "Why is this plot only being filmed now?" ”
Although it is said that film shooting does not need to be carried out according to the development of the timeline, but focuses on the story shooting of one scene.
But generally in order to help the actors get into the state, the director will try his best to arrange the shooting sequence according to the development of the timeline, especially when most of the actors are amateurs.
"President Hanyu, it's because Konno-san didn't have a schedule before, so the filming will be postponed until now."
This cloud-based film employee is Shinsuke Ito's assistant on the set, and he is relatively familiar with the filming situation of the crew.
"Is that so?"
After understanding the situation, seeing that it seemed to be a finished filming, Hideki Hanyu hurriedly walked over.
From afar, he saw that Shinsuke Ito had just jumped off the prop bus.
Overestimated his code ability, sitting in front of the computer, he remembered the sketches of Zhao Benshan and Song Dandan, and held back two words for three days.
It is said that the code has a plateau period, I still don't believe it, and now I believe it, no wonder everyone has two changes a day.
Damn, it must be updated before twelve o'clock at noon tomorrow, and it will be written if you don't sleep at night.
Finally, thank you for the reward from roaming the sea of books.
