Chapter Seventy-Four: A New Era [4K Words, Ask for Subscription]
The twilight of the sky was like a piece of melting ice, and the golden glow flowed together.
In the casual wind of Tokyo, the sky turned into a drowsiness.
Lights are on in the rental house.
Hayabusa Kimura wears a suit, and the crisp suit gives him a sense of calmness.
In order to make a strong impression, it is easier to win the trust of others.
He made himself look sincere and simple.
Asuki stood on the steps of the hallway, reaching out to help him arrange his clothes.
"If you put on glasses...... Wouldn't it look a little more professional. ”
Hayabusa Kimura picked up a pair of flat glasses and put them on his face, the lenses glowing in the dim light at the entrance.
The black frame gave his face an inexplicably dull bookish atmosphere......
Tomorrow's delicate little face was slightly raised, and he looked at it carefully.
The next moment, the girl chuckled.
The small white hand reached for the glasses on Hayabusa Kimura's face.
Take it off slowly.
"Still don't."
Asuka gently brushed his fingers through the hair on Hayabusa Kimura's forehead.
With a hint of jasmine fragrance.
The movements are gentle and delicate.
"Hayabusa-chan is like this...... It's good. ”
Tomorrow Sun took a half step back, and the young man's handsome face was reflected in his dark pupils.
"Almost, then I'll go out."
Hayaya Kimura pushed open the door.
"Wait a minute."
"Huh?"
Under Kimura's puzzled gaze, the girl took out a career omamori and handed it to him.
"Bring this omamori with you...... Hayabusa-chan must be fine. ”
Kimura was stunned and looked down at the golden omamori in his hand.
"It's ......"
"Yesterday, I went to the shrine and asked for it." Tomorrow replied.
The cold wind in the corridor blew into the house, ruffling the hair in the girl's ears.
"I've been picking for a long time...... Take it with you. ”
"Okay."
"Hayabusa-chan."
"Huh?"
"Keep your head down."
There was a softness on his lips.
A moment of lip parting.
"Come on!"
“……”
…………………………
At the party, after the directors of the newcomer competition unit of the film festival took turns to speak.
Everyone became casual, too.
Some of the new directors who have received investment are struggling around their financiers.
The rest of the rookie directors who did not get the investment were holding a glass of wine in their hands at the beginning and wandering around.
Hayabusa Kimura looked around the venue.
Although enough information has been gathered.
But his access to information is, after all, too limited.
A lot of information is obtained from all corners of the network and from visiting around in the past two days, plus my own subjective analysis......
When he actually arrived at the venue, the reality forced him to adjust his goals.
Like those people around the head of the convention club, they are choked enough to squeeze in.
Even if you squeeze in, you may not be able to sell your work among so many people.
"It's a bit of a hassle......"
Hayabusa Kimura picked up a small loaf of bread from the table and stuffed it into his mouth.
Just thinking about it.
His gaze was on a man standing in the corner of the long table with something to eat.
I didn't think anyone would eat at this kind of party?!
But then, he recognized the man who was eating.
A club manager who is on his list......
Toshimichi Suzuki, president of Moriike Kaisha.
A small film club.
Judging from the fact that the films that Moriike Kaisha has invested in in recent years have not returned, but there is hardly too much debt, and Suzuki Shundo does not have any other businesses......
Hayabusa Kimura guessed that Shunmichi Suzuki was likely to be a rich second generation who was not famous.
………………………………
Perhaps because the films invested by Moriike Kaisha were almost not successful, no new director took the initiative to find Shunmichi Suzuki at the venue.
Compared with the appearance of other club leaders surrounded by people, Suzuki Toshimichi actually looked a little lonely.
I don't have the experience of investing in pure love movies, and I have enough say in the club......
Hayabusa Kimura stared at the man not far away, rubbing his chin with his fingers.
Seemingly......
It's a good fit!
After a brief hesitation.
Hayabusa Kimura wiped his hands, picked up two wine glasses, and walked towards Toshimichi Suzuki.
"Would you like some wine...... Mr. Suzuki. ”
"Huh?"
The sudden accosting made Suzuki Toshimichi a little surprised.
It was a young man carrying a briefcase and looking a little simple.
Shunmichi Suzuki subconsciously took the wine glass.
"You ......"
"Hayaya Kimura, a rookie director."
"What's the matter?"
"Sell the movie and convince Mr. Suzuki to invest." Hayabusa Kimura said bluntly.
It's straightforward......
Toshido Suzuki looked at the young man in front of him with a smile.
However, as the first rookie director to come to the door tonight, he was a little curious.
"There are so many people in charge of film and television clubs over there, why do you want to find me."
"Because I think the society of Moriikekai is more suitable for me."
"Oh?" Toshimichi Suzuki was interested, "What kind of movie did Mr. Kimura make?" ”
""Tonight, the world からこの爱が消えても", a movie with the theme of pure love."
"Pure love?" Suzuki's brow furrowed slightly.
Although he failed to invest in many films.
But he still knows the tragic situation of pure love movies in neon.
"Yes, pure love." Hayabusa Kimura affirmed.
"Mr. Kimura, maybe Moriike Kaisha has failed to invest in many movies, but he also knows the tragedy of neon pure love movies...... There were so many directors who made pure love movies before Neon, and the box office was dismal without exception...... No one wants to invest in a doomed film. ”
"The sales of Yuyin Society's "Light Things" have risen sharply recently."
"Huh??"
"Because of a book of pure love...... Before the appearance of this pure love, "Light Things" has not had a section of "pure love" for a long time...... That pure love made the sales of "Light Things" weekly soar, and even released a single book, and the sales are still good. ”
"Why did Mr. Kimura suddenly say this......"
"Ah, it's nothing, it's just that the name of that light book is "Tonight、世界からこの恋が消えても"。
Hayabusa Kimura stared at Toshimichi Suzuki with both eyes.
All the discussion is nothing more than two words, value.
If you want Toshimichi Suzuki to invest in his own films, you need to let the other party see the investable value of the work.
"Sorry! Mr. Kimura, you just said that your work is called ......" Toshimichi Suzuki's tone softened suddenly.
"Tonight、世界からこの恋が消えても."
The words of the young man in front of him silenced Toshimichi Suzuki.
Although he had not heard of it, in this era of convenient information.
There should be no need for the other party to deceive themselves.
"But...... It doesn't represent the ...... of the movie."
"Mr. Suzuki, "Tonight, the World" is ranked in the top 10 of the newcomer competition unit, and the data is still growing......"
Hayabusa Kimura took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Shunmichi Suzuki.
"This is the data from the upload of the work to yesterday...... There is also the number of views of related clips on the Internet......"
"Ah, that's ......"
Driven by Hayata Kimura's words.
Toshimichi Suzuki put down the glass in his hand and took the material.
Look at the content above.
There are texts and charts on the material, listing recent changes in the work's data.
The key parts are also specially marked, and it is very clear at a glance.
"The data looks ...... Not bad indeed......"
Shunmichi Suzuki looked at the data in surprise.
The T Station Film Festival has the participation of Moriike Kaisha.
He had also seen the approximate data on the works in it.
The data displayed in "Tonight、World からこのLove が消えても",Compared with the data of other themes, it is not inferior.。
This......
Is it really the data that a pure love work should have?
"Also, Mr. Suzuki, here's an analysis of the last 20 years of pure love movies...... Because of the tight schedule, it may not be so adequate......"
Hayabusa Kimura then pulled out a document from his briefcase.
Looking at the material, which was about dozens of pages, Shunmichi Suzuki couldn't help but swallow.
Even if it's not called sufficient?
He took the analysis report from Hayabusa Kimura's hand and flipped it roughly.
It records the introduction of Neon's past pure love movies, plot setting, investment box office, and market feedback.
"Or ...... Mr. Kimura will just say the conclusion? ”
"It's not the subject matter that is unpopular, it's the plot of the past." Hayabusa Kimura said in a deliberately slow voice.
Hiss......
The young man's clear voice made Suzuki Toshimichi's hand holding the material tremble.
It's like thinking of something.
His fingers quickly flipped through the materials in his hand, in the plot setting part of each pure love movie.
A lot of clichés are really being used constantly.
Toshimichi Suzuki suddenly felt a little dry in his mouth, and he groaned for a moment.
"If you follow what Mr. Kimura said...... If the plot is unpopular, how can Mr. Kimura be sure that the plot of your work will not be unpopular? So what kind of plot is not unpopular? How can you be sure that this subject is not unpopular......"
It was like an inexplicable feeling appeared in Suzuki's mind.
It's very vague.
But it's so close.
It seems to be a very important thing.
Hazy.
So Suzuki Toshido couldn't help but eagerly want the young man in front of him to uncover this misty veil.
A shallow smile rose on Kimura's face.
Faced with a series of questions from Shunmichi Suzuki......
He knows.
Toshido Suzuki became interested.
"The first question about Mr. Suzuki, the increase in data that I handed to Mr. Suzuki at the beginning is the best proof of this, and the specific Mr. Suzuki can compare the data of past pure love works with the audience's feedback, and it should be very easy to draw conclusions......"
"The second question, I wrote at the end of the second analysis report, Mr. Suzuki can take a look at ......"
Hearing this, Shunmichi Suzuki quickly flipped to the last page of the report.
An idealized emotional "utopia"...... Mourning, remnants, impermanence, tragedy? What are they? ”
Shunmichi Suzuki licked his somewhat dry lips.
But Hayabusa Kimura didn't answer him immediately, but continued to answer the third question.
"As for the last question, does Mr. Suzuki know what Neon's earlier pure love movie box office was?"
"How much?"
"Four billion yen."
Suzuki Toshimichi's eyes widened, and he looked at the young man in front of him with some incredulity.
He never expected this data.
You must know that the recent pure love movie ended dismally at the box office of 200 million yen, and the investment in that movie ...... It's 300 million yen.
As if he had captured some important information in an instant, Suzuki's breathing became a little heavy.
"Since then, the box office of pure love movies has gradually decreased, although it has occasionally rebounded, but it has been decreasing."
"So ......"
"So the market of pure love has always been, but everyone hasn't found it yet!"
Rumble.
Shunmichi Suzuki suddenly felt that the lights in this venue were a little dazzling.
The ground beneath his feet fluttered lightly, and his breathing accelerated.
Strange, did you drink too much......
He probably didn't drink much.
Oops, the brain is a bit messed up.
It's itchy on my head, and it feels like something is about to grow......
"Mr. Kimura, what else do you want to say...... Let's find a place to continue......"
Although there was no one around the two of them, Toshimichi Suzuki became cautious as if he was carrying some treasure.
“……”
……………………………………
"50 million yen?" Shundo Suzuki looked at the young man in front of him in a daze.
"Well, a 50 million yen investment."
At this time, Suzuki Toshimichi had another material in his hand......
Just now, Hayabusa Kimura kept telling him how big the potential pure love film market is.
Tens of billions of yen, billions of yen numbers kept popping up, just when Suzuki Shundang was almost lost in these numbers.
When he asked how much investment he needed.
The other party replied that it was only 50 million yen, which made him feel unbalanced that he only needed such a small amount of money.
But...... Think about it.
For a pure love movie directed by a newcomer, it doesn't seem to be a few.
For a moment, Suzuki Shundao was a little confused.
Seems to be aware of the state of Toshimichi Suzuki.
Hayabusa Kimura looked down at the time and slowly got up.
"Mr. Suzuki, the party is almost over...... Investing isn't something that can be decided right away, as far as I said before...... If Mr. Suzuki is unsure, he can go back and make sure. ”
Hearing this, Shundo Suzuki turned his head to look at the crowd that had begun to disperse in the distance.
Unconsciously.
He and the young man in front of him had been chatting for so long.
At this party, he hadn't had time to talk to other rookie directors......
But.
Toshimichi Suzuki's gaze fell on the materials on the small table in front of him.
He stood up and stared at Hayata Kimura.
"Mr. Kimura, why don't we find another place to continue ......?"
"I'm pretty much done...... Mr. Suzuki, I'm just a rookie director......" Hayaya Kimura shook his head, "The rest depends on Mr. Suzuki's decision......"
Toshimichi Suzuki pondered for a moment.
"Anyway, I'll contact Mr. Kimura as soon as possible."
"Okay."
Hayabusa Kimura packed up his things and prepared to take his leave, carrying his briefcase.
"If I plan to invest in Mr. Kimura......"
"Then Mr. Suzuki may ...... It will usher in a new era. ”
“……”
Under the lights of the venue.
Kimura's tall figure was stretched very long.
…………………………
Toshimichi Suzuki watched as the young man disappeared into the night outside the venue.
Reach for your phone and dial the phone.
"Collect the data of all the pure love movies of Neon in the past 20 years, and come up with an analysis report to me as soon as possible...... The more detailed the better......"
“……”
"Yes, pure love."
After this chapter, the career line will probably be able to move quickly, and if nothing else, the second and third film lines will start immediately.
