Chapter 184: Two Good Shows

The car can't drive too fast, the shrine drives, and as a result, it was photographed for violation.

Su Changqing tore open the scarlet, and the camera was frozen here.

The background music "Itch" sounded: Come on, be happy......

Compared to Yamagata Prefecture, where the original film was filmed, Izu is undoubtedly more Japanese.

On the afternoon of arriving, Su Changqing followed Harumi Harumi to all over Higashiizu Town, and the scenery of this place is very recognizable, so it is easy to choose a few locations, and then I have to confirm with the photographer in the future.

He even took a good look at the hill where the male protagonist played the cello, with the green mountains and forests on one side and the choppy sea on the other.

After choosing the filming location, Su Changqing felt more confident.

The next day, the activities in Higashiizu Town were more intensive, visiting folklore experts, and also visiting funeral industry insiders, Su Changqing's script was almost written, and now he only needs to revise some of the plots that are not quite in line with the facts.

After staying up all night to rewrite, after returning to Tokyo, he immediately sent the final script to Ken Takakura, and quickly replied: satisfied.

Ken Takakura is sure, then this matter is basically decided.

Then Su Changqing made an appointment to meet Takeshi Kitano and handed over the script of "Thief Family": very satisfied.

Takeshi Kitano was even more confident after watching it: "I will direct and act in this movie, Changqingjun can rest assured that it will be a masterpiece." ”

Although Su Changqing is a junior, he still said bluntly: "I wrote this book completely to win awards, and the market was not considered in various episodes, and the seniors should be able to see this thought." ”

Of course, Takeshi Kitano understands the routines of the film industry very well: "Don't worry, once the filming is completed, I will arrange for this film to participate in major European film festivals and film critics." ”

It costs a lot of money to participate in the exhibition, and of course this must be negotiated in advance.

The general direction was done, so the specific cooperation matters were discussed, and Su Changqing had additional conditions: in addition to the remuneration for the script, in addition to the male protagonist played by Takeshi Kitano, other actors in "Thief Family" must hire Kanno Performing Arts.

Performing arts companies are roughly divided into three categories, one is the Kitano Takeshi Studio, which focuses on creation and does not have its own actors, the other is an artist agency that trains actors to rent out and does not create themselves, and the rest is the Kanno Performing Arts Society, which also creates and performs by itself while brokering artists.

Takeshi Kitano was very surprised by Su Changqing's acquisition of Kanno: "I know this entertainment club, and the cult movie is doing well, but I didn't expect it to be bought by Changqingjun now." ”

Takeshi Kitano refused to be sloppy in the selection of actors, and reached a cooperation in principle, and finally it depends on the selection results: "There are not many main actors in this movie, an old woman, a pair of middle-aged men and women including me, a female college student and two children.

I'm afraid there are no child stars in Kanno, old women and college students can pick your artists, but the actress who plays my concubine has to be carefully chosen, and if you can't choose Changqingjun in Kanno, you can't blame me. ”

The female lead is indeed crucial, too limited Kitano Takeshi's choice is afraid that he will turn his face, although there are not many starring actors in this movie, but there are many scenes involved, and there are thirty or forty roles with lines, Su Changqing and he negotiated with Shenno.

In addition, Su Changqing told him about the cooperation with Ken Takakura: "Maybe we can start the machine at the same time, thanks to the blessing of our predecessors, I hope we can also achieve good results." ”

Takeshi Kitano was very emotional: "Takakura's predecessors have been very strict in selecting scripts in recent years, refusing many invitations, and have not filmed for two or three years, but I didn't expect to agree to cooperate with Changqingjun in a new film." ”

If the two start shooting at the same time, the media may hype up the competition again, but Takeshi Kitano filmed Su Changqing's script, and it can be said that he was invincible at the beginning.

What's more, Ken Takakura joined Su Changqing's new drama and played the role of the undertaker, which in itself was a huge gimmick, and it had a sensational effect before filming started.

"Evergreen-kun, with the special theme and the unexpected collaboration with Takakura's predecessors, I can already have a hunch that "The Undertaker" will be a great success. ”

Su Changqing also wanted to send a sycophant back as it was, thinking that "Thief Family" was written by himself, he was suspected of boasting, so he complimented him generally.

When he was in China, Su Changqing would rather resign than say flattering words, and when he arrived in Japan, he realized that this was a daily skill and a must-have for home travel.

It's really hard for people to say, Su Changqing has a classmate who is dissatisfied with the domestic environment and went to the other side of the ocean, when he is in China, he puts his hands in his pockets, and when he goes to other people's side, he is willing to work three jobs, serving dishes and delivering food.

This can't help but make people wonder, if you had been so hardworking and resentful, would you have gotten ahead earlier, at least you could have opened a successful fast food restaurant, right?

After negotiating the matter, Su Changqing went back to convene all the employees of the Kamino Arts Club and held another meeting.

"The new president seems to like to hold meetings very much, and it is inexplicable to hold such an all-hands meeting, and it is not a war period, do you want to mobilize everyone to fight?"

"It's really unlucky, I knew it was such a mess, so I resigned and left with the Yoshino guys. ”

"Hosaka-kun, if you go, you have to make up your mind, otherwise you will harm others and yourself. ”

The change went smoothly and there was no major resistance, because the resistance was basically gone.

Takeo Kanno has a batch in his hands, and another batch has left in the past few days when he is dissatisfied with the change, and the Arts Club has paid a lot of severance pay because of this.

Now in an inventory, most of the artists are there, and there are more than 90 of them, and they are basically stage artists.

This is also understandable, the Kanno Performing Arts Club was developed by stage performances in the early days, and it has always attached great importance to this area, with deep accumulation, and the relationship between the artist and the old club is also relatively deep.

Now that a foreign film director has arrived, I am afraid that I have little knowledge of Japanese stage arts, so why waste my time.

The Japanese performing arts market is mature, and the jobs and incomes of theater artists are relatively stable, so they have found more than 20 families.

As a result, most of the plays will not be performed, and there may be people left.

The administrative staff also left a few people, which doesn't matter, it's easy to recruit again.

Unexpectedly, the loss of the original two film creation teams is also very serious, and there is no team at present, and the two directors have left a surname Yoshino, leaving a young one, and the two photographers have simply run away, and now they want to make movies without photography.

There is no shortage of photographers in Japan, and it is impossible to find collaborators with Su Changqing's reputation, and there is no shortage of people in Greater China, so it's a big deal to transfer Leo over.

I don't understand how these filmmakers who have left think about it, Su Changqing is a famous director, and everyone has a similar creative style, and they are ushering in a good opportunity for development, why don't they play together?

Maybe it's because he's so famous, and some people don't want to drown in his aura.

It can be seen that the morale of the employees is low, and the Arts Club has left a group of stage and film creation backbones, and they don't know how to survive in the future if they lack arms and legs, do they only rely on brokering these artists?

It's good to change it to a brokerage office, and it's still called an entertainment club.

In fact, Su Changqing knows how to retain people, and let Ximenxiong and Liu Yufei intervene in the acquisition early, originally an important job is to stabilize people's hearts, and the most effective means is to promise better treatment.

Su Changqing didn't do this, Shenye needs big waves to wash the sand, why spend money to buy people's hearts.

Verbal appeasement is not of much value, the more gentle the words, the more complaint, Su Changqing has been waiting for the right time to directly announce the most valuable matters.

We are now in a meeting.

"From now on, a film crew will be formed to prepare for the filming of "The Undertaker", which is written and directed by me, starring Ken Takakura, and the rest of the roles are played by artists from our company. ”

"Takeshi Kitano Studio has reached a strategic cooperation with Kanno Performing Arts Society to prepare for the filming of "Thief Family" written by me. ”

"It's going to be busier and hard work for everyone. ”

The venue was silent, and everyone was dumbfounded.
