191 The recognition of the director of Toko, Kaoru Kijima, who works silently
"Young Master Jiguang, do you really want to spend so much money to invest in the second part of Tokyo Love Story?" The secretary looked at Fujiwara Nagi cautiously and asked.
"I don't want to say it a second time." Fujiwara Nagi's voice was low, and his tone was a little cold.
Because of the 300 million yuan in compensation before, it seriously affected the development of the company she now controls, and she originally had the opportunity to earn 5 billion in two months, but now it is about 2 or 3 billion.
Therefore, as long as Saionji Akino's movie is suppressed to the end by the second part of Tokyo Love Story, the lower the box office, the higher the probability of her winning.
Originally, she wanted to continue to play some tricks and use her female identity to deceive him again, but recently the security of FJ Film and Television Club has been raised several levels, and if she repeats her old tricks, it will be easy to be exposed.
Exposure in the future is a matter of the future, but it can't be exposed now, otherwise you will lose one of your few advantages.
Fujiwara Nagi has completely regarded Saionji Akino as a wronged boss who can be deceived in any way and thrown away when he runs out, and he no longer has any emotion for him.
"Okay, okay." The secretary lifted the glasses on the bridge of her nose and silently hugged her file bag, recently she could feel that Fujiwara Jimitsu (Fujiwara Nagi) was getting more and more angry, and he would insult others in meetings at every turn, and as long as his subordinates did something wrong, he would be infinitely magnified.
Due to the deformity of the Japanese social system, as well as the classic thinking in the workplace that "the boss's pot is carried by the subordinates, and the subordinates are toys that the boss can manipulate at will", many people can only swallow their anger, not to mention that Fujiwara Nagi is still airborne, and he is quite a person.
Therefore, at present, everyone in the company has the potential to become Fujiwara Nagi's punching bag.
The secretary walked in the corridor, looked at the dim weather outside the window, and couldn't help but sigh: "When will it be sunny on this day......
——
The announcement of the second part of Tokyo Love Story began, and the promotional video of this movie began to be shown on the huge screens of Shibuya, Setagaya, and even some shopping malls in Roppongi. In addition, there are the platforms of the trams, the proliferation of advertisements inside the trams, and the visits of actors on TV to promote the program.
With the full support of star actors, capital operation, and the majority of fans of Tokyo Love Story Part 1, Tokyo Love Story Part 2 has been on the top of Twitter many times when it is still fifteen days away from its release. And it has also become the most anticipated movie among national fans, and there is no one.
Compared to before, your name doesn't even have a splash, all the propaganda has sunk into the sea, and those propaganda can only enter the field of vision of some old thorn apes.
Fujiwara Yoshiaki looked at the two financial statements in front of him, listened to Kyoko's report, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Okay, don't read it."
"......" Kyoko closed her mouth, she looked at Fujiwara Yoshiaki's recent aging appearance, and his bloodshot eyes, which were full of worry.
Originally, Fujiwara Yoshiaki was old, so he didn't sleep very well, at most he could sleep for six hours, and he often got up late during this period.
If you don't rest well, your natural body is not healthy, and he's been paying a lot of attention to the competition between Saionji Akino and Fujiwara Nagi recently, so he has less sleep time.
If this continues, Fujiwara Yoshiaki will definitely fall ill.
"Kyoko, did you say something wrong about me?" Fujiwara Yoshishi appeared in the basic identification, and the second test was the failure of Saionji Akino.
In his opinion, Saionji Akino is like a person who is blindly confident and has a particularly iron head, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and preferring to go to the tiger mountains.
It is true that your writing is good, and it has become one of the few bestsellers today, but can a bestseller be the same thing as a movie making and a box office hit?
Not to mention the changes in the operation ideas, judging from the fact that Saionji Akino is currently painting and directing by himself, and doing everything himself, this is obviously irrational and futile behavior.
Does he understand what is called a superior and what is a leader?
If you need to check everything, can you do a good job of making critical decisions?
You have to do everything yourself, so what do you want these subordinates to do?
Moreover, Saionji Akino actually has to pay these people three or four times the salary, for this, Fujiwara Yoshiaki is the most unacceptable.
And now, he finally understood that the skill of Saiyuan Temple Akino to control people was actually not what he thought at all, he had such skills and talents, but he didn't use it where it should be used at all.
Or rather, he never really cared about manipulating people.
There are many clues from his current business performance.
If Fujiwara Yoshiaki was still satisfied with his initial understanding of him before, but now, he has completely reversed his mind.
It's just that......
It's really a pity.,If I don't force him to fail the first competition.,He should be able to compare with Fujiwara Nagi to the third.。
When the time comes......
Fujiwara Yoshiken shook his head at the thought of this.
Why bother thinking about the rest of the story?
There is no third contest now!
……
There are many people who are also not optimistic about Saionji Akino, such as Fujiwara Nagi, and for example, the last time Mao Sui recommended himself but was scolded by Saionji Akino, and now there are some sunsea bands with a grudge.
At first, they didn't think there was anything, but after learning that the real age of Saionji Akino was really only sixteen years old, a feeling of unhappiness of being looked down upon and reprimanded by the younger age instantly made them feel very bad.
People who succeed too quickly have this similar impetuous mentality, and they who have lost their humility are even more so in this regard.
So, Sunsea started to metaphorically mock your name on Twitter, Instagram, and their YouTube video channel, and then went crazy about the second movie of Amway Tokyo Love Story.
And, coincidentally, not long after they released these videos, the director of Tokyo Love Story Part 2 also contacted them, saying that he wanted them to also make cameo roles, and by the way, he would help them write a suitable song for Tokyo Love Story Part 2.
This comes and goes, and Tokyo Love Story is recommended, and the matter of secretly stepping on your name becomes more logical.
It's just that such a big production of Donglian, there is no theme song when it is about to be released?
It's kind of weird.
It's just that they didn't care about this, and soon went to the set of Donglian to negotiate with the director, producer, and investor.
——
In Tokyo, in an izakaya in Shibuya Ward.
A bunch of big men sat down together and began to raise their glasses and indulge in sensuality.
"According to this trend, the pre-sale box office of Donglian will break through the previous one, which is stable." The producer couldn't help but laugh triumphantly.
Sitting at the same wine table, Director Donglian didn't say a word, with a dull face.
"I said, Director Kitaoka, can't you be happy when we're so loud now? Sure enough, you artists are rigid......"
"Yes, Director Kitaoka, it's a sure thing that we will break the box office record, you should be really happy!"
After Director Kitaoka took a sip of wine, he said lightly: "Even if it breaks the record, it doesn't mean anything, the audience is not so easy to fool, the script of this second part is not good enough, and the storyline has a tendency to be bloody." ”
"The reputation accumulated by the first movie, by the time of the second part, it is estimated that it will be defeated."
"It's not as exaggerated as Director Kitaoka, we are the original team, and there are no personnel changes at all!"
"And don't the current audience just like to watch some bloody plots?"
"So you let the protagonists of the first part, who were already separated and live their own lives, forcibly get together, and then start a new love triangle and cheating drama?" Director Kitaoka chose to be a tough producer, anyway, the filming is finished now, all the actors have been completed, and even the editing work has been done.
As long as the review is passed, they can arrange the release in theaters, and when the wood is already in the boat, they can only spray two sentences of the producer to relieve their anger.
Seriously, director Kitaoka doesn't understand why Toho would give up the lead and let such a completely amateur producer dictate the whole movie.
Normally, as a director, he should be the one with the most power.
Of course, director Kitaoka doesn't want to use this power to do anything, but just wants to ensure the stability of the quality of the work, and holding all the power in his hands is obviously the most rational choice.
"This kind of shooting will cause controversy, and even a lot of abuse, but this is also normal, that is, what I want to achieve, to cause greater discussion through controversy, so that I can hire a water army to stir up the heat again and again, and the box office will definitely not be low in the end."
"In itself, most of the sequels are suspected of being a dog's tail sequel, rather than completely following the tone of the first step to shoot, it's better to let yourself go like now, and then harvest a large number of fans' leeks by the way."
"Director Kitaoka, although you have more than me in terms of movies, but my business thinking is absolutely not wrong, Toho sent me over to control the overall situation, and let me try my best to make up for the empty losses of the previous special effects films, so doing this now is the best ending."
Director Kitaoka listened to the other party's story, and the sigh in his heart became heavier and heavier.
Only a pure good story can move people, which is also what director Kitaoka has always pursued, but it seems that this time it will not work, it must serve the business, and it must be corrupted by the financial atmosphere of business.
Ay......
It's a shame.
If you give me another two or three years to think about it, this second part will definitely be filmed, instead of being as busy as it is now, the process is messy, and a lot of garbage plot is stuffed, and finally it is hastily done.
"Don't worry, Director Kitaoka, this time we also have an exclusive backing cannon fodder, FJ Film and Television, you know no, although it is a film and television company under the Fujiwara chaebol, but for so many years, there has been no achievement, and every time you bump into us, you will be beaten."
"And they still dare to go head-to-head with us on the same subject, and they still want to make an animated movie, it's really funny." After the producer revealed the topic just now, he began to laugh at his peers, and the superiority of this comparison has always been the best way for him to liven up the wine table.
Sure enough, several people agreed.
"None of the animated films have been able to make achievements so far, and the best I remember was made by He Jun ten years ago, right? It was sold for about 500 million. ”
"That's already very strong, low-cost animated films can have that achievement, tsk, but I heard that FJ Film and Television seems to have invested two billion dollars in it, saying that it wants to produce the most exquisite animated film, and now it is also riveting."
"Two billion?" The producer immediately put down his wine glass and laughed: "Fool, this is, invest two billion in making an animated film?" ”
"yes, and will the public really buy it? I'm not optimistic, oh, speaking of which, there's one more episode. ”
"What vignette?"
The producer glanced meaningfully at Director Kitaoka and said with a smile, "Today we just went to meet the young people of the band Sunsea, and then learned that they came to us after being rejected by FJ Films not long ago. ”
"Originally, they wanted to score that animated movie, but it seemed that they were rejected by their president."
"No, when did that guy Takase become so stupid? Isn't it hot to deliver for free? ”
"Who knows? Maybe it's old and confused, right? ”
"It's neither, it's just that they now have an airborne young master over there, and it is said that this animated movie is something made by this genius young master."
"Poof, that's no wonder, young people are young and vigorous, and they don't understand the market at all to make such a bold attempt, so we want him to pay the tuition this time?"
"That's right! Hahahaha! Listening to the rampant laughter of these people, Director Kitaoka only felt that they were noisy and could not blend in at all.
However, in their sarcastic words, he still extracted some useful information.
For example, the animated movie is called "Your Name", and for another example, the director of this work, the original author is the same person, that is, the airborne young master - Saionji Akino.
After finishing the drinking party, Director Kitaoka took a taxi to a nearby bookstore, and then found your name in the light area.
To be honest, he is a person who has never read a light book, and he has read some literary masterpieces in the past.
So I didn't really have any expectations for this work.
As he picked it up and was about to pay, a girl's voice sounded beside him.
"This guest, if you want to buy "Your Name", I recommend that it be more affordable to buy it with the illustration book, and the illustration book plus the original text is definitely worth the price." Kaoru Kijima was dressed as a bookstore clerk and looked at Director Kitaoka with a smile.
It's half past eight in the evening, and she's almost getting off work, so she can sell one before she leaves.
She is not short of money, but because she knows that Saionji Akino is busy with the movie "Your Name" recently, she thinks that she can come to the bookstore to work and take the opportunity to do publicity work.
Of course, these things she did, Saionji Akino would not know, but even so, as long as she could help him a little, Kaoru Kijima would feel very satisfied.
After all, there was not much chance to get close now, so I had to do it and watch him from a distance.
"Yes...... Tell me about what kind of story this is? Really good-looking? Director Kitaoka didn't know what he was thinking, so he suddenly said this.
Kaoru Kijima didn't spoil the fun, she briefly talked about the opening content, and then very cleverly left a few suspense out, which made Director Kitaoka interested.
"This is a very good work, I also like it very much, even to the extreme, this is my favorite work in my life, there is no one, so guests, after the purchase, about a month or so, there will be a movie released, and it has been being promoted recently, if you are interested, please be sure to go and see it at that time!" Kaoru Kijima bowed slightly to him and said with a smile.
Director Kitaoka looked at the rich joy in the girl's eyes that seemed to overflow, and couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.
What kind of work can make her so obsessed?
Director Kitaoka was driven by multiple curiosities, and after he finished buying the illustration book, he went straight to his home, ignored his wife's greetings, and began to sit on the sofa and read.
After a few hours passed, Director Kitaoka, who had watched the whole film wearing reading glasses, silently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Although your name is undoubtedly a commercial work, it also really tells a good story, a good story that can be moved and recognized by the public.
If it can do this, to be honest, no matter how much money it can make, it should be.
After Director Kitaoka exhaled, he also made a decision in his heart.
He decided to promote the film on the same schedule as them on the day of the premiere.
