Chapter 1221 1230, the way you say this is so handsome!
After returning to Yamazakurain, Naoki Nagayama teased Xiao Xiahua on the carpet while chatting with Akina about the reshoot.
The focus is on how easy it is for Yamaguchi Baihui to perform:
"Momoe-san is very talented. Even though she hasn't performed for seven or eight years, it's natural for her to play the wife who's quarreling with her husband now."
"In fact, I think it's very likely that Tomokazu-san and Baihui-san often quarrel at home."
"Unlike me, I only feel sorry for Akina~"
"Uh-huh."
On the other side, Akina nodded absentmindedly in agreement.
She was now lying on the sofa, her eyes fixed on the manuscript in her hand, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, one foot twisting from time to time with the plot, she was completely engrossed in reading the novel.
The manuscript is the novel version of "Full House" which was just written by Naoki Nagayama recently.
After "Jurassic Park", adapting scripts into novels has become a piece of cake for Naoki Nagayama.
"."
What should I do if my mother is addicted to reading novels and ignores me?
Naoki Nagayama and Xiao Xiahua on the sofa looked at each other and reached a silent agreement. Then Naoki Nagayama quietly sent Xiao Xiahua to Akina's feet and let the little guy bite Akina's ankle.
I don't know why, but when they were doing bad things, the father and daughter unexpectedly worked in unison. Xiao Xiahua also cooperated very well and didn't make any sound before biting.
"what"
This time Akina was frightened and finally came back to her senses. Xiao Xiahua's bite now has no offensive power at all, at most it is just sticky.
"Naoki-san!"
Akina glared at Naoki Nagayama, picked up Xiao Xiahua, wiped the saliva from her mouth,
"How can you teach someone to bite? You're going to teach Hana-chan bad habits!"
".Didn't you, Akina, let Hana-chan bite first?"
“This is different!”
"What's the difference?"
"."
"Hahaha, okay, I won't do that next time~"
Seeing Akina's angry eyes, Naoki Nagayama wisely chose to quit while he was ahead, otherwise Akina might be the one to eat next.
"Dingling bell~"
While Akina was scolding her daughter, the phone in the living room suddenly rang.
Naoki Nagayama took the opportunity to run away and answered the phone:
"Moshimoshi, this is Yamazakurain"
"Naoki-san, this is Morikawa Kuniharu."
The voice of my old friend, Morikawa Kuniharu, came over the phone, followed by a warm greeting.
"How's it going? Is everything alright?"
"Haha, of course, everything is fine." Naoki Nagayama nodded, "What about Kuniji-san? How are you doing recently?"
"Hahaha, everything went well on TOEFL."
After a while of pleasantries, Morikawa Kuniharu got down to business:
"Naoki-san, we're already halfway through the year, how's the new book going?"
The question was asked with both grievance and caution, but there was nothing that could be done. Shogakukan had no way to restrict Naoki Nagayama right now, not even a little bit of control over him.
It is up to Naoki Nagayama to decide when to write a book and what kind of book to write.
“Ah, a new book.”
Glancing at Akina who was immersed in her novel again, Nagayama Naoki felt that if he confiscated the novel from her in the next few days, it would definitely intensify the family conflict.
"Bongji-san, I've been busy filming "Departures" recently."
"Oh, yes, yes, it's Departures. It's a big production! I understand."
Morikawa Kuniharu expressed his understanding, but he still played the emotional card.
"But don't forget, Naoki-san, you have many fans in the literary world who are eagerly waiting for you. The calls and letters from fans are overwhelming the mailroom of Shogakukan."
"At least, give them something to think about."
"About. Can you give me an approximate time or direction for the novel?"
"."
This cautious tone made Naoki Naoyama feel pity for him, so he did not hide it:
"Actually, I already have an outline for the new book, and I've written part of the story that's probably about the interesting interactions between the big star and the little author."
"I've already picked a name for it. It's called 'Full House'."
"Oh?! Todoroki?!"
Kuniharu Morikawa suddenly became excited in the microphone.
"Full House?! Just hearing the name sounds very romantic! Is Naoki-san back to the familiar romance novel track?!"
"Oh my, now I feel relieved!"
Speaking of which, after "Tokyo Love Story", Naoki Nagayama actually started writing science fiction novels at will. This made his editor sweat at the time because there were countless authors who failed just by changing the subject matter!
Although "Jurassic Park" was later proved to be excellent, the public's main impression of the author Naoki Nagayama is still his romance novels. I wonder how many book fans will cheer for his return this time.
"When will Naoki-san be able to produce the first draft?"
Morikawa Kuniharu's tone seemed a little light.
"When can you come to Shogakukan and sit down? Or I can come to Yama-O-In and get it, it's the same!"
"Ah, this Qiudou sack"
Naoki Nagayama covered the microphone, moved closer to Akina and asked,
"Akina, when can you finish reading?"
"."
Akina was silent for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at the rest of the manuscript and compared it with her speed of reading novels.
“It will probably take another week.”
People of this era don't read novels at the speed of hundreds of thousands of words a day like in the information age. In addition, Mingcai has to work, take care of Xiao Xiahua, etc., so she has very little free time to read.
"Okay then." Naoki Nagayama said into the microphone, "Kunji-san, it will probably take about a week before I can give you the first draft."
"Really?! That's great!"
Morikawa Kuniharu was filled with joy, he really didn't expect it to happen so quickly!
"Then I'm looking forward to Naoki-san's "Full House"!"
"Hi"
After hanging up the phone, Kuniharu Morikawa happily packed up his things and prepared to go home.
When he met the editor-in-chief Matsui Toshi in the lobby, he looked at him with some surprise:
"Director Morikawa, what good thing happened to you? Why are you so happy?"
"Ah, Editor-in-Chief Matsui, you're off work too."
A smile appeared on Morikawa Kuniharu's face.
“I received an excellent novel!”
"? Oh really? What's your name?"
"Full House!"
"What's it about?"
"do not know"
"Ah?" Matsui Toshi was stunned for a moment, "You haven't seen it yet?"
“It hasn’t been delivered yet!”
".Where's the outline?"
“There’s no outline!”
"."
So what kind of excellent novel is this?! After all this time, you only have a title?!
"It's Naoki-san's new work!!"
"Ah, it's Naoki-san. That's fine!"
Yes, famous authors only need to give their names to make editors happy and praise them!
The arrival of the plum rain season often starts with a rain, and then the rain keeps falling.
Amid the continuous rain, the busy commercial streets became deserted, and the sound of car horns on the once bustling roads could no longer be heard far away.
The whole of Tokyo seemed to have been put on hold, and life and work suddenly slowed down a lot~
However, the indoor work has not stopped. For example, in the residence of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, all the proposals put forward by members of the House of Representatives and government departments are gathered on the Speaker's desk!
"Raise the budget." "Costs have increased, so add to the budget." "Prices have risen, so expand the budget." "."
The speaker of the House of Representatives, Kenzaburo Hara, looked through the proposals of the members, most of which were requests for budget increases and appropriations.
"These guys, apart from asking for budgets and appropriations, have nothing else to do?!"
Hara Kenzaburo threw the document aside with a bang, speechless about the demands made by his fellow congressmen.
In this era of economic boom and good fortune, spending money has become a national policy in Japan, and the corruption and waste are all covered up by the rising real estate market, stock market, and GDP.
However, when turning to the next proposal, Hara Kenzaburo raised his eyebrows:
"Oh? The councillors' salaries have increased. Well, it is true that the councillors' annual salary is too low, not even as low as that of workers."
When it came to this proposal that concerned himself, Hara Kenzaburo showed compassion and decided to expedite the proposal to the review committee.
After reviewing his opinions, Hara Kenzaburo looked at the rain outside the window, took a short break, and then looked at the next proposal.
"Well, the "Proposal for the Protection of Labor Rights in the Film Industry". The proposer is the Minister of Education, Shojuro Shiokawa."
Kenzaburo Hara looked at the people who submitted the proposal with some surprise.
"Secretary Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology - Kiba Sadaga, Director of the Agency for Cultural Affairs - Kurita Takeki, former Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology - Yoshiro Mori, Yasuko Ikebo, Atsuko Toyama."
Kenzaburo Hara knew all these officials from the Ministry of Education. Judging from the list of affiliated personnel, the entire Ministry of Education had reached a consensus and supported this proposal.
But then there were also signatures from various celebrities and members of the Socialist Party, which surprised Kensaburo Hara.
"President of the Tokyo Film Industry Association - Shuichi Idou The establishment of the Tokyo Film Industry Association itself has the support of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. But when did it become connected with the Socialist Party?!"
The Socialist Party of this era is still the largest opposition party and has considerable influence in the political arena!
"Could it be that this Idou Shuichi wants to go into politics?!"
I opened the "Proposal for Protecting Labor Rights in the Film Industry" and took a look through it. It is indeed about protecting human rights and the rights of practitioners, a typical left-wing idea.
However, these days, people just buy into this idea. Relying on this political philosophy, the Socialist Party's influence can even pose a threat to the Liberal Democratic Party!
In recent years, Japan's film industry has also been thriving and developing, and it is likely to become one of the country's pillar industries in the future. In addition, the cabinet has already approved it, and Kenzaburo Hara has no intention of blocking it in the early stages.
"Let the review committee review it first and see the feedback."
Kenzaburo Hara also knew that the committee would definitely pass the proposal. After all, such a proposal concerning the industry requires a hearing to listen to the opinions and suggestions of industry experts, industry associations, and practitioners' representatives.
However, the president of the Tokyo Film Industry Association is currently on the list of signatories, and this is another bill to protect the rights of practitioners.
Referees, coaches and athletes are one family, so how can we lose? !
Once it is passed by the review committee and voted on by Congress, the House of Representatives and the Senate will vote on it. That will be the truly important moment!
It depends on whether this proposal will be approved by the majority of members.
"Ah~tsk~"
Smelling the cool and moist air, Idou Shuichi couldn't help but sneeze, and he became more energetic.
He quickly got out of the car and walked into the Shuyou Building.
"Good afternoon, Xiuyi-san!"
Xing Jiahua greeted warmly,
"Did you not get enough rest recently? You have serious dark circles under your eyes!"
"Alas, there is nothing I can do." Idou Shuichi shook his head and walked towards the elevator, "Too many social engagements."
After treating everyone to drinks in the evening, he finally managed to convince two Socialist Party members and finally got on board the Socialist Party. His proposal was finally delivered to the desk of the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
You can relax for a while now~
"Are Otomo-san and Naoki-san in the company?"
“Neither of them”
".Okay~"
Since there was no one he wanted to chat with, Shuichi Ito could only come to his office dejectedly.
Naoki Nagayama and Otomo Yoshimura both gave great support and freedom to the Tokyo Film Industry Association's plan, allowing Shuichi Ido to make many promises in the name of the Shuyou Group, which made him feel a little pressured.
Of course, Naoki Nagayama also shared a lot of the work in the film industry, and he was almost exclusively concerned with several major projects.
However, as the actual person in charge of Shuyou Film, he cannot just shirk his responsibilities for the department. Today he is here to deal with the accumulated matters.
After a while, Komori Masataka knocked on the door and entered the office:
"Xiuichi-san, these are the follow-up profit statements for previous movies. The more important one is the box office profit of "Across the World"."
"Across the World" was released in February and has now been removed from the shelves. In the paper era, the specific box office share of each theater and other channels was not calculated until June.
Of course, the box office data for the first week and one month after the release were roughly counted in advance for the purpose of promoting the movie, not shabby!
"Ah, the box office share is coming~"
Yi Tangxiu wiped his face and pulled himself together.
"What was the total box office of Across the World?"
"Total box office: 22 billion."
Talking about the performance of the movie, Masataka Komori showed a proud expression on his face. After deducting taxes and fees paid to theaters and exhibition chains from the total box office, Shuyou Pictures will be able to get at least nearly 10 billion in share!
This is a huge achievement for a new director!
"Oh? Very good~"
Shuichi Idou looked at the profit-sharing details but was not too excited, because Shuyou's previous achievements were too impressive. The global box office of "Kikujiro's Summer" has already exceeded 10 billion.
The box office of "Ghost" is still rising, and has exceeded 60 billion. The box office of the re-screening every year will not be less.
"Xiuyi-san, next, 'Across the World' will be distributed in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and we have already negotiated a contract with the distribution company there."
Komori Masataka continued.
“Oh yes, overseas release!”
Shuichi Idou suddenly remembered something and started searching on his desk. After a while he found a document.
"Naoki-san said before that he wanted to establish a distribution company in the United States."
"Aren't we cooperating with a local distribution company?"
"Well, we bought shares in a local issuing company. We took control of the company, and then it became ours!"
Yi Tangxiu nodded.
"Now it's becoming a trend for Japanese companies to acquire American Hollywood film companies, so we can do the same."
Masataka Komori was confused. What fashion?
Idou Xiuyi saw it and explained:
"Just like now, Sony is planning to acquire Columbia Pictures in the United States, but Akio Morita has always dreamed of owning a Hollywood film studio."
"This"
Masataka Komori still didn't know about this kind of upper-class information. It was only after Shuichi Idou frequently communicated with people from the upper class that he learned about it.
Sometimes, the benefits that can be brought by information asymmetry are not just money.
Idou Shuichi looked through the various options in the analysis report, and one of them caught his eye:
"MGM Studios"
This old independent film company is currently in a trough, and among them is United Artists, one of the film companies that Ido Shuichi values more.
MGM merged with United Artists, but failed to resurrect
"MGM is one of the eight major film studios in Hollywood!" Komori Masataka exclaimed, "Do we have that much money to buy it now?"
“There’s no need to buy all of them!”
Idou Shuichi shook his head.
"Just become a shareholder! We mainly need their brand and channels to enter the American market. When it comes to film production, Shuyou is no worse than anyone else!"
"."
Masataka Komori thinks the way Shuichi Idou said this is so handsome!
"Well, but regarding the acquisition of shares, I still need to discuss it with Naoki-san."
Shuyou's own funds are definitely not enough, but doesn't Naoki-san still have a lot of funds in the US stock market?
The boss's money is the company's money, what's wrong with that?!
