Tokyo bubble life

Naoki Naoyama looked at this uncle in surprise, "Kamen Rider" can be said to be a representative of the Showa Tokusho drama, and it has been popular all the year round, and has almost become one of the cultural elements in Japan.

But seeing this at the club today, Naoki Naoyama became even more curious.

"Naoki-san, I invited you over today, mainly because I want to discuss some issues of "Hot-Blooded High School"."

After Kadokawa Haruki sat down, he explained,

"I happened to meet Zhang Taro-san. After he heard that I was going to meet with the production team of "Hot-Blooded High School" today, he begged me to get to know everyone."

Shotaro Ishimori said with a smile: "I heard that the director and editor of "Hot Blood High School", which has been hotly discussed in the circle recently, is coming, I can't help it~"

"Hahaha, that's our honor." Itang Xiuyi replied politely.

"May I ask, is there any manga creation in the movie "Hot Blood High School"? From the trailer, you can see a strong manga style." Talking about his own manga, manga artist Shotaro Ishimori is very sure.

"No," Shuichi Ido replied honestly, "The script was completely created by me and Naoki-san, as for the manga style"

Naoki Yongshan also understood that the future "Hot-Blooded High School" is indeed a manga change, but in this era, it came out before the manga.

"Haha, the so-called comic style may be that when we were filming, we exaggerated youth, passion, etc.~" Naoki Yongshan smiled and explained, "By the way, the preview of the film will be held soon. Shi Sensang can also come and take a look."

"Ah, that must be a sneak peek."

After Naoki Nagayama chatted with Shotaro Ishimori for a while, Haruki Kadokawa, who was next to him, also finished talking with Yoshimura Otomo, and started today’s topic:

"Naoki-san, there is no problem with the appeal of the movie "Hot Blood High School". I wouldn't be surprised if it can win this year's box office champion, but"

Naoki Nagayama, Otomo Yoshimura, and Shuichi Itou all looked over, "I received news that the industry seems to be planning to criticize this movie."

"?" Naoki Yongshan immediately asked, "Toho? Toei?"

"It's not Shochiku." Kadokawa Haruki said.

"Songzhu Yinghua?" Naoki Yongshan was the only one who couldn't think of this one. After all, he and Masaki Kobayashi had never been friends.

Shuichi Ido was also very puzzled: "Haruki-san, we have a good relationship with Shochiku, don't we? The last film "The Tale of Hachiko" and Naoki-san's "That Summer, The Tranquil Sea" were both well received. We have the support of directors under Shochiku.”

Kadokawa Haruki shook his head: "Those are just a few directors of the New Wave movement, and there are more than these people in Shochiku."

"This time I heard that it was Kinji Fukasaku who expressed his dissatisfaction with "Hot Blood High School"."

Fukasaku Kinji? This person seems to have never been in contact with it? How could you offend him?

Kadokawa Haruki looked at the three people who didn't understand, and sighed: "Naoki-san and Shuichi-san are well-known directors in the industry after all, so they should participate in some industry activities more or less and make more contacts!"

"Forehead"

Shuichi Ido and Naoki Nagayama looked at each other, Shuyou Yinghua filmed a movie and then a TV series continuously, and there was no time to socialize.

Naoki Yongshan gave Yitang Xiuyi a look: "Xiuichi-san, I will leave this aspect to you from now on!"

"." Itou Shuichi said that I couldn't understand your eyes at all.

Haruki Kadokawa continued: "Kanoji Fukasaku's previous "Kamata March" was robbed of the limelight by the two films drawn by Shuyou. If it weren't for you, "Kamata March" could be regarded as the grand slam movie of last year, maybe They can make history.”

Shuichi Ido was a little strange: "Shouldn't Fukasaku Kinji oppose our new movie because of this kind of thing?"

If you object because your films are not comparable, such a director will become a laughing stock in the film industry.

"No, also because Kinji Fukasaku's previous film "Inhumane War" portrayed the cruel life of the yakuza and created a new form of chivalrous film, while Naoki-san's "Hot Blood High School" seems to completely reverse the cruelty of the yakuza life The truth broke the image created by Kinji Fukasaku and aroused his dissatisfaction."

This... Is this the founder of Kaipai dissatisfied with his luck being taken away?

Naoki Yongshan immediately remembered this old stalk, shook his head and threw this idea out of his head: "Movies should be constantly innovating and trying."

"But this time, he seems to have united a group of people to push the Japanese Film Ethics Management Committee to give the film an R18+ rating." Haruki Kadokawa said, "The reason is that the film will have a bad influence on young people."

Hmm. This seems to be a problem. Naoki Naoyama also knows that after this movie is released, there will definitely be a wave of gossip, and it may also cause controversy in the media.

If it is marked with an R18+ rating, then only audiences over the age of 18 are allowed to watch, and a large part of the box office will be reduced.

Fangcun Dayou asked: "Chun Shusang, can't we stop him?"

"It's difficult, because after all, the opinions are raised for legitimate reasons. Even if Kadokawa has a certain influence in the Japanese Film Ethics Management Committee, he cannot be completely suppressed."

After all, Kadokawa is still a new generation among the five major Japanese film production companies, while Shochiku is an old company that has been passed down for a long time, and the contacts he makes are like spider webs.

For a while, the box fell into silence, and the others couldn't think of any good solution.

It seems that the real mastermind is this young man in his early twenties?

Kadokawa Haruki sighed: "This kind of possibility is very big. I am here to tell you today so that you can be prepared. In short, we Kadokawa will try our best to lobby."

Shotaro Ishimori sat on the sidelines drinking a drink, silently looking at the people who were filmed by Shuyou, and was surprised to find that the two older Otomo Yoshimura and Shuichi Itou turned their attention to the youngest Naoki Nagayama!

Naoki Yongshan's head was running wildly, and he seemed to think of something strange at this time, and the smile on his face looked a little wretched

"Mina-san, have you ever seen the movie with FBI WARNING as the title?"

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of several men present showed awkward expressions. Even a playboy like Kadokawa Haruki was a bit awkward in this respect. I don't know if Naoki Naoyama was referring to some kind of film.

"Are you looking at coded or uncoded?" Naoki Yongshan asked further.

Shuichi Yitang looked at Naoki Yongshan speechlessly: "You are still young, Naoki-san, it is understandable that you like to watch these, but there is no need to publicize it to everyone!"

Several other people also looked at Naoki Yongshan with different eyes, as if they were looking at a young junior who didn't learn well!

"I mean, what channel did you use to see the uncensored movie source?"

As we all know, some movies need to be coded if they are released in Japan! However, there is a film with FBI WARNING as the title, but it can be sold openly.

Kadokawa Haruki is a fine person, and suddenly thought of something: "Naoki-san, you mean to export the film to the United States first, and then import it back in the name of foreign trade goods?"

"Hi, it's 'export to domestic sales'."

Naoki Yongshan directly talked about this method of taking advantage of legal loopholes. All the people present were adults who had been out of society. It was a matter of profit. As long as it was not illegal, any method could be tried.

Fangcun Dayu didn't know much about this: "But, isn't this method only used in special movies?"

"There are no restrictions on the types of movies." Kadokawa Haruki is the boss of a film production company after all, and he actually knows about these things. made some special impressions."

"Actually, there are almost no movies in Japan that are classified as R18+ because of violence." Shotaro Ishimori, who has been eating melons, couldn't help adding, "If it wasn't for this special promotion, there would be no such trouble at all."

"I see! So that does seem like a way to get around censorship.

It's a bit awkward though~"

The people present nodded, but they looked at Naoki Naoki with a lot of meaning. They could think of such a method. Naoki Yongshan, how many movies have you watched with FBI WARNING as the opening title?

Fangcun Dayu whispered in Yongshan Naoki: "Naoki-san, even young people should be more restrained!"

"."

A hidden crisis was eliminated in this way, and everyone's hearts were relieved.

Although there will definitely be media reports on the possible adverse effects of "Hot-Blooded High School" on teenagers in the future, Shuyou Yinghua will not be afraid of such things as slobbering.

Regardless of Kadokawa’s strong influence in the publishing industry, Shuyou Films’ gold dollar offensive should not be underestimated. At least in Tokyo, there are no journalists from major newspapers who have not received red envelopes from Shuyou Films.

Regardless of whether they will say good things or not, at least they will think carefully before saying bad things.

After solving a stone in their hearts, everyone started a happy relaxation time. The ladies and sisters in high-end clubs are good at singing and chatting, and they are happy until late at night.

As the sun rises and sets, time goes by, September in Tokyo falls before people's eyes without knowing it.

The weather is still very hot, but the rain brought by the typhoon has gradually washed away the heat of summer. People who live in Tokyo all year round know that the pace of autumn has accelerated.

Under the bright sunshine, Naoki Yongshan led Etaro back to the Yamazakura Garden from the outside.

Early in the morning, he resumed the habit of morning exercises, took the big dog for a run around, and handed over the tickets for the screening to Chikako Aoyama, who of course was picked up by Mr. Aoyama Nobu, in exchange for a sentence:

"Stay far away from my Zhikezi!"

"This old man always doesn't believe me so much, I already have a girlfriend!" Naoki Yongshan washed his body with a hose in the yard, "Are you right? Taro?"

The foamy Labrador was washed away in the bathtub. Even though the hair was sticking to his body, it was still a strong dog. It fell on Naoki Naoyama!

"Taro, you bastard!!" Yongshan Naoki was in a hurry, holding down the dead dog, wrapping its dog's head in a towel and rubbing it!

After rubbing it roughly, Naoki Yongshan put the dog to play in the yard, still under the strong sunlight, and the whole hair would dry out in a short while.

Now that a dog has been washed, Naoki Naoyama glanced at Meowtaro who was lying on the side, then walked over quietly, and hugged the cat owner while he was not paying attention!

"Meow! Meow! (Shit shoveler, what are you going to do?)" Miao Taro looked at himself, the shit shoveler, in a daze.

Then, before the cat could react, he put it in the bath tub that had been changed, and then, under this guy's resistance, he also cleaned the cat's body once.

On this morning, Naoki Naoki, the owner, was the last one able to take a bath.

After hanging out with his cats and dogs at Yamazakura Garden for a whole morning, Naoki Yongshan drove to the studio.

"Otomo-san, is there any problem with tomorrow's preview screening?" After greeting the staff, he went straight into the office and asked Fangcun Otomo.

"Relax, Naoki-san!"

Otomo Fangcun is not in a hurry at all. This time, the preview meeting for the media is just to invite media reporters to watch it as relevant personnel in the industry. It has been done many times.

However, Naoki Yongshan still checked it carefully, especially the relevant aspects of the media reporters, because he had expected that some reporters might ask sharp questions, so he made an exception and arranged some good reporters to serve as on-site trustees. Neutralize odd problems.

At this moment, Shuichi Ido walked in from the outside and smiled after seeing Naoki Nagayama:

"Sure enough, Naoki-san is still worried?"

"Yeah. I always feel that there is something wrong this time." Naoki Yongshan nodded. Although he didn't know who would jump out, the guys who were undercurrent before would not give up.

"Do you want to add a little more security personnel?"

"Haha, it's not necessary, I've already called Brother Feng!"

Naoki Yongshan smiled, if Yongshan Feng went, his younger brothers would naturally go there too, if there were really outrageous behaviors, their deterrent power would be much stronger than the security guards.

After talking about preparing for the screening for a long time, Naoki Naoyama changed the question when there was nothing to talk about:

"Otomo-san, by the way, how is Kikuchi Etsuro going?"

Fangcun Otomo said: "It is said that he has officially resigned from Burning Office, registered a new company, and is currently looking for a new office location."

"It's really vigorous and resolute."

Naoki Naoyama's tone can't be said to be a compliment or belittlement. Generally speaking, senior people in the entertainment industry will start the next job first in the original position. On the one hand, they can borrow some resources from the current employer. On the other hand, it can also be transferred to the next home more safely.

However, Kikuchi Etsuro seemed impatient, and directly resigned from the Burning office, and began to devote himself to this company, which is still an empty shell.

"It's not a shell company. Ayano Fukuhara, who was in charge of cuteness in the wild cat group, and Saaka, who was in charge of singing, all went with Etsuro Kikuchi."

"Ah, the two of them~" After not seeing each other for two years, Naoki Naoyama almost forgot what they looked like, "There should be no future in the Burning office."

"Yeah." Fangcun Dayou's expression was slightly abnormal, but he soon returned to normal.

Naoki Yongshan noticed: "Otomo-san, there is no need to think too much, if they seize the opportunity this time, as the seniors of the girl group, as long as the girl group does not weaken, there will always be a place for them in the entertainment industry. "

Whether it is a small announcement or a large-scale celebration or review, someone will invite the elders.

Fangcun Dayou nodded: "Then the Maoyan three sisters?"

"They just did a gimmick at the beginning of "Twilight Meow Meow" to give them a halo, and the future of the three sisters will still be in our movie."

Naoki Yongshan gave Fangcun Dayu a reassurance, but he never thought of moving all three Maoyan sisters into the new girl group company.

Shuichi Ido, who had been listening for a long time, became a little impatient:

"Naoki-san, I'll go to the teacher first to find out the news and see if there is any latest information."

"Ok~"

Naoki Yongshan nodded, but he also thought about it, should he also invite Masaki Kobayashi to drink tea?

Shochiku Pictures is really troublesome!
