The air in the conference room seemed to be a little stagnant, and Kawaguchi Yoshitaka opened his mouth wide.

I didn't say a word for a long time, and all I thought about in my mind was what Hayabusa Kimura had just said.

There is no script, the actors are undecided, and there is a shortage of funds......

That's how it started?

This is completely different from the picture that Hayabusa Kimura painted with himself before.

At the first meeting, Hayabusa Kimura quickly described the scene of the movie as no less than a fight between the heavenly soldiers.

Compared with the neon Warring States movies I made before, in front of the other party's description.

It's like a war between a bunch of scattered villages.

The appearance of such a thin sky makes Kawaguchi Yitaka can't stop fantasizing every day.

The more I imagined it, the more I felt that this was the movie I dreamed of filming.

Outcome.

The contract is all signed, come here with him.

What made him most angry was that Hayabusa Kimura still wrote these into the contract.

According to the other party's meaning, these are just temporary non-existent, and there will definitely be before the movie starts.

What's the matter......

"So this movie so far, there are only ......" Yoshitaka Kawaguchi raised his hand and compared it back and forth between himself and Hayata Kimura.

Hayabusa Kimura nodded and said with a smile, "In the future, Kawaguchi-senpai and I will be in the same boat." ”

Kawaguchi's expression changed in a short time, and his mind was spinning rapidly.

Finally, it's time to come back to the aftertaste, isn't this just painting a pie?!

And the painted pie still can't wait to bite into it and go into the water with the other party.

"Can you still shoot that?" Kawaguchi Yitaka held back for a long time, and struggled to hold back a sentence.

"I can shoot! Of course I can shoot it. Hayabusa Kimura replied without hesitation.

"Huh?" Kawaguchi Yitaka looked at him suspiciously, "How to shoot nothing?" ”

As soon as the words fell.

Then he saw the young man in front of him.

Slowly straightened his waist, and a smile appeared on his face.

With a wave of his palm.

"It won't take long for the script to be written, the script is in place, and the funds are still worried? As long as we have a good script and a well-known director like Senpai Kawaguchi, is a billion yen a problem? Of course not! As soon as the funds are in place, the actors will come......"

Hayabusa Kimura said in a firm tone, as if he had foreseen what would happen in the future.

Powerful voices echoed through the room.

Kawaguchi Yitaka was stunned when he listened.

Somehow, I obviously felt that something was wrong with what the other party said.

But looking at the young man's confident appearance, Kawaguchi Yitaka felt inexplicably ......

It seems that the questions I just thought about are indeed not a problem.

"A good movie is inseparable from a good script and actors, and even more so a good director, and now that we have a well-known director like Kawaguchi-senpai, the film is half of the ......"

"Since I told Kawaguchi about that, we're going to make those scenes in the movie...... Even if Kawaguchi-senpai doesn't believe me, don't you still believe in the contract......"

"Think about the picture of this epic movie being made, popular all over China, neon and stick country, and then launch the second and third parts while the iron is hot...... Who doesn't know the name of Kawaguchi-senpai at that time! ”

“……”

First of all, confusion.

And then shocked.

to later.

Kawaguchi Yoshitaka suddenly felt.

What a kid has a point!

Should I say it or not, even if it's a flatbread?

What if it's really the same as he said?

Just listening to the description of Hayabusa Kimura's mouth, the starry future.

Kawaguchi's heart, which had been a little quiet, beat rapidly again.

As Hayabusa Kimura said, those things are clearly written in the contract anyway.

Black and white, and will not run.

"After thinking about it, the juniors in the Qiyu University of the Arts opened the textbook, and there was a page in it with a conspicuous name, Kawaguchi Yitaka!"

Laughed.

The corners of Kawaguchi Yilong's mouth could no longer be suppressed, and he was almost grinning to the root of his ear.

"Needless to say, Senior Kimura, since I am here today, I naturally believe you. Isn't it just a little longer, when it's ready to start shooting, I can do it at any time. Kawaguchi said with a loud smile.

"I knew Kawaguchi-senpai was reliable." Hayabusa Kimura said as if he was very moved.

Kawaguchi Yitaka waved his hand casually: "They are all from the same school and the same major, I believe in Kimura junior." ”

Seeing that Yoshitaka Kawaguchi has been taken down by himself.

Hayabusa Kimura also had a heartfelt smile on his face.

In the end, the conversation between the two turned into mutual praise.

It lasted for a long time before it gradually subsided.

Kawaguchi Yoshitaka's face was red, and he only felt that he hadn't been so happy as he was now for a long time.

After talking so much, I was a little thirsty.

Picking up the water glass on the table and taking several sips, the excitement of the hot-headed head slowly subsided.

After a long time, Kawaguchi Yitaka put down the water glass in his hand and exhaled a long breath.

"So what should Kimura-sani do next? Go to Moriike Kaisha to talk about investment? Kawaguchi asked, staring at him.

As for the fact that the investor behind the Firefly Office is Moriike Kaisha, Yoshitaka Kawaguchi knows.

To be exact.

Most people in the industry know about it.

Who made the name of the Morichi Club's previous investment must be too loud, it's like a spell.

There were also some superstitious old guys in the industry who suspected that Morichi Club would definitely not be able to get rid of the name that this investment would be lost.

And as a firefly office that helped Moriike Kaisha break this spell, it's hard to think about it.

"One of them." Hayata Kimura said, "A billion yen movie investment is not a small amount, and although Moriike Kaisha may not be able to get it, investing a billion yen in a movie at once is also a great risk for them." ”

Hearing this, Kawaguchi Yitaka nodded in agreement: "Yes." No matter which film and television club it is, investing a billion yen to make a movie is not a trivial matter. Especially if it's a subject like Kimura's who has never been involved before...... I'm afraid it's even more ......."

"So isn't there still Kawaguchi-senpai." Hayabusa Kimura said with a smile.

After the excitement just now, such a compliment can no longer excite Kawaguchi Yoshitaka at this moment.

I'm afraid that Kawaguchi Yoshitaka himself didn't expect that not long ago he was still preparing to sign a contract and go directly to make a movie.

Now he has begun to help Hayabusa Kimura think about film preparation.

"A billion yen investment ......" Kawaguchi Yoshitaka frowned, and suddenly asked again, "Is a billion yen really enough?" If you want to shoot the effect that Kimura said before. ”

"Maybe not enough." Hayabusa Kimura said calmly, and there was nothing to hide.

After all, I have never had this kind of experience in shooting costume war movies before.

"So, what I'm thinking now is that ...... production of "The King of the World" is best to cooperate with Huaxia's film and television companies."

"Speaking of which, Senior Brother Kimura seems to value the market in Huaxia very much." Kawaguchi was a little curious.

To Yoshitaka Kawaguchi's question.

Hayaya Kimura wasn't too surprised.

Because this is not just Yoshitaka Kawaguchi, but the attitude of the entire neon film industry is mostly like this.

In film and television.

Neon local movies are more like an extraordinarily closed circle, and most of the time they tend to entertain themselves.

Of course, this may have something to do with the xenophobia of neon people.

Most neon directors only care about the local film market of neon, and they are not so keen on the film market outside of neon.

Compared with the output of those extremely popular animated films, live-action movies are much inferior.

It's not so much that it's closed, but that few people care about markets outside of their home country.

"Huaxia is one of the largest film markets in the world, and if you want to go further on the road of film, you can't just stay in the neon local market. It is wise to connect with the outside market. Hayabusa Kimura explained.

"That's right...... But why not the North American film market. "There is the world's largest film market, and a more professional team...... Of course, I'm saying that if the movie is not related to China, the North American film market should be a better choice, right? ”

What Yoshitaka Kawaguchi didn't say was that even if Director Neon really wanted more development.

Most of them will also lean towards Hollywood in the United States.

Just like Kazuya Nishikawa......

"About this ......"

Hayabusa Kimura bent down and quickly rummaged through the bag next to him for a while, then took out a document from inside.

Placed in front of Yoshitaka Kawaguchi.

"Kawaguchi-senpai can take a look at this document."

"What is this?"

Yoshitaka Kawaguchi looked at the slightly thick document on the table in front of him suspiciously, and opened it in his hand.

"It was originally intended to be a document used to persuade Kawaguchi-seni to participate in the filming of the film when Kawaguchi-seni refused to participate in the filming."

Hayabusa Kimura pointed to the document,

"However, Kawaguchi-senpai has already signed the contract, so this contract has not come in handy."

"That's right." Kawaguchi Yitaka was stunned, and then asked again, "Then what are you doing for me now?" ”

"Oh, it's just that there are some things in it that can answer Kawaguchi-senpai's doubts." Hayaya Kimura said.

"Huaxia Film Market?"

"Hmm."

Kawaguchi Yoshitaka was shocked: "Even you thought of this?" ”

"I just wanted to be as comprehensive as possible, and it wasn't worth mentioning." Kimura Hayabusa seemed to be a little embarrassed.

Yoshitaka Kawaguchi looked down at the file directory section.

【Script Related】

【Funding】

【Actor-related】

【Contract-related】

【Market-related】

【Movie Dividends】

“……”

You call it a little?! Yoshitaka Kawaguchi looked at Hayaya Kimura with ghost-like eyes.

Just looking at the contents of the catalog, there are many things that have been prepared in this document.

Including what you can think of, there are many things you can't think of.

If this is a little comprehensive, then what is the thoroughness?

A whole bunch of documents to get a proposal??

Yoshitaka Kawaguchi twisted his fingers around the document in his hand and silently flipped back through it.

"Does Kawaguchi-senpai know what the size of Neon's film market was last year?"

"This ......" Kawaguchi Yoshitaka was a little embarrassed.

"It's more than 200 billion yen."

Without waiting for Kawaguchi Yoshitaka to hesitate for too long, Hayabusa Kimura had already spoken.

"So much?!" Yoshitaka Kawaguchi was surprised.

Hayabusa Kimura smiled, "This is also the size that has grown in recent years. ”

"I see." Yoshitaka Kawaguchi nodded.

"Then does Kawaguchi Senpai know what the size of the Chinese film market was in the last year?" Hayabusa Kimura suddenly asked again.

Kawaguchi shook his head blankly.

"It's a trillion yen."

"Oh, that's a trillion......" Kawaguchi Yitaka echoed.

But the next moment, he repeated it in his heart and realized that something was wrong.

A trillion?

Wait a minute.

How many yen is a trillion?

"How much?!"

A stunned voice rang out.

Kawaguchi Yoshitaka was shocked that the documents in his hand almost fell to the ground, and his eyes widened suddenly.

"One trillion yen, more than a trillion yen." Hayabusa Kimura said it again.

At this time, Kawaguchi Yitaka was a little confused.

It took a long time to think about it.

My heart was still filled with surprise.

Looking at Kawaguchi Yoshitaka's shocked appearance, Hayabusa Kimura was quite satisfied.

This kind of being in a circle for a long time and suddenly hearing surprise beyond your own cognition.

"Kawaguchi's predecessors might as well guess the size of the Chinese film market ten years ago ......"

"Ten years ago?" Although it is not clear why Hayabusa Kimura suddenly asked for data from ten years ago, Yoshitaka Kawaguchi still said hesitantly, "If there was more than a trillion yen last year, ten years ago...... 700 billion yen? ”

This is already the most reasonable data that Kawaguchi Yitaka can reduce, which is equivalent to directly subtracting the size of a whole neon.

"It's 390 billion yen." Hayabusa Kimura shook his head.

"Huh......?!"

Kawaguchi Yitaka was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Senior Kimura is really good at laughing, 390 billion...... How could it be so low. ”

From one trillion to 390 billion.

He just thought that Hayabusa Kimura was joking, and it wasn't a simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

How can there be such an exaggerated increase.

But.

Hayabusa Kimura looked serious.

Kawaguchi Yoshitaka smiled narrowly, and a thoughtful look rose on his face, "Really? ”

"Really."

Kawaguchi gasped.

Ten years have almost tripled, each equivalent to the size of an entire neon market.

He was silent for a long time.

"If that's the case, then ...... I can probably understand why Kimura-sanpai chose this way. Kawaguchi Yitaka muttered.

"Not surprisingly, it won't be long before Huaxia will become the world's largest film market, and there will be no one, and it will get bigger and bigger." Hayaya Kimura added.

Kawaguchi Yitaka Mune nodded.

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, he looked up and asked.

"By the way, do Kimura-senpai and Nishikawa Kazuya, Takagi Yoshizo know each other?"

"Huh?"

"I saw it at the Neon Academy Film Awards ceremony before, and the two of them chatted with Kimura junior." Yoshitaka Kawaguchi explained.

This is probably one of the reasons why Yoshitaka Kawaguchi agreed to Hayabusa Kimura today, although not the main one.

"The awards ceremony?" Hayabusa Kimura understood what Yoshitaka Kawaguchi wanted to ask, "It was invited by Director Nishikawa, not very accurate, persuasion?" He said he was optimistic that I wanted to take me to the United States to develop, and he said that there were more opportunities there. ”

"Kazuya Nishikawa?! This great director is actually optimistic about you. Kawaguchi Yitaka swallowed hard, "Did Kimura-sanpai agree......"

"No, if Kimura-sanpai had agreed, he wouldn't have been sitting here."

"It's too early. The home turf of neon movies has not stood firm. ”

"Yes. There is no more competition than neon, and the competition is more brutal. Especially outsiders...... However, there is one thing that Kimura said is not quite accurate. And the stick country. Senior Kimura is now the first person to be neon at the box office in Bang Country. ”

Kimura Hayabusa smiled helplessly: "Who would have thought that he would succeed in the stick country first." Don't mention it. ”

"Don't talk about this, don't talk about this, let's think about what to do next for the movie. Artist's question: What does Brother Kimura think, do you want to invite a Chinese star artist to star? ”

“…… Probably not. ”

"Huh?"

"If you ask for a budget, it's not enough."

"How so? That's a billion yen budget! ”

"Not enough."

Yoshitaka Kawaguchi: "......" (end of chapter)
