For TV dramas broadcast in winter, production teams will be established in the summer. For albums planned to be released in 2020, pre-production preparations will begin now. Concert venues are scheduled for half a year, and advertisers' contracts must be finalized in advance.
In preparation for next year, in the middle of this year, the entire industry is operating at overdrive.
The various work plans on Iwa Shinichi's desk are full, and within a week, meetings of all sizes are waiting for him. But at this time, he can still find his mind and propose to make a Yakuza movie)
After reading the three scripts, Shinichi Iwahashi called the person in charge of the production company the next day, and the young screenwriter Yuki Mitani praised it.
Ever since Iwahashi Shinichi called the person in charge and asked for a new screenwriter to write a story about the Yakuza background for him, the production department saw that this matter was an interest driven by Shinichi Iwahashi's narcissism. In the press
When acting on the request, it was somewhat like playing games with the big boss. After a while, Shin Iwahashi finished reading the scripts and gave a high evaluation to one of them. The person in charge of the production company also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that this matter can be
Handed over successfully.
As a result, just after receiving a complimentary call from Shinichi Iwahashi, Shinichi Iwahashi proposed to make such a Yakuza movie.
When Shinichi Iwahashi suddenly had the idea of finding a screenwriter to satisfy his personal interests, people inside the production company quietly complained about his outdated interest. However, even though Shinichi Iwahashi was not directly involved in the work of the production company,
But as one of the three corners, his words and deeds can make people complain in their hearts about their whims, but they cannot really be regarded as what he says casually.
If Shinichi Iwahashi wants to produce such a movie, the production company will hold a meeting to put the three scripts and the story that Shinichi Iwahashi wants to make on the table for discussion.
…
Previously, when Watanabe Manyumi's office produced the film adaptation of "Kitchen", Shinichi Iwahashi watched almost the entire process. This experience gave him a more or less basic understanding of the Japanese film market, so that he would not be disappointed.
When I want to make a movie, I have some unrealistic and arrogant thoughts in my mind.
Film is a highly commercialized thing. In this film market that lacks scale, the films produced are often small and small. The threshold is so low that it seems that everyone can realize their film dream. Also because there is no real film market, directors lack the ability to make movies.
Investment can only bring out the sentiment of buttonhole carvings, and it will never return to the low-cost way of emphasizing the atmosphere. Of course, because there is no investment, there is less dictation from external forces, and the director can express what he wants to express.
To put it bluntly, this movie theater has been dead for many years, and it is destined to never be "resurrected" one day. This is the outcome that has been planted since it was still in its golden age, and it was not born out of nowhere.
A genius can change it.
Every year, there are occasionally a few movies in the movie market that perform well at the box office, but they are just the residual warmth emanating from the bodies that have fallen down long ago. Just because the movie industry is in a slump, in order not to starve, practitioners have, since the past few years,
A large number of people switched to the television industry, providing many talents to the television industry.
Today, when the film market is over, what is still being produced is Yakuza movies. There are only a few audiences who will buy tickets to go to the cinema to watch Yakuza movies, that is, lovers of specific genres of movies, and there are only a few ordinary audiences.
When making such a yakuza movie, if it comes up with something new, it might be able to win some awards. If it goes to a film festival, if it doesn't come up with something new, it will just disappear into the industry and nothing will happen.
But regardless of whether it is praised or not, it is best not to have any unrealistic imagination when it comes to ticket sales. Anyone who creates box office myths and saves Japanese movies in this era has no understanding of the Japanese film industry.
The naive who understand.
Shin Iwahashi is certainly not that naive.
To make a Yakuza movie, you must first realize your own plan. However, when you invest in a movie, it is impossible not to consider the rewards. Even if it is a box office block, if you can create something new, win an award, and create a performance for the actors
The opportunity is worth it. Even if there are no employees suitable for starring in Yakuza movies in the agency related to the production company, they can still be used to exchange resources with other agencies.
Things in the industry are like running water, with mutual exchange and movement, opportunities will continue to flow.

The good thing about Yakuza movies is that they are not high-cost, and the script written by Mitani Yuuki is fresh and may have a chance to win some awards.
In fact, after the promulgation of the "Law on Countermeasures against Violent Groups", the environment in which the Yakuza exist is very different from the past. Therefore, the Yakuza movies to be produced now will present something different from the old-school Yakuza movies. From this point of view
, a movie that is different from traditional Yakuza movies and has a sense of freshness in itself.
Shinichi Iwahashi was confident that the production of this film was inevitable. Therefore, after communicating with the production company and putting the project on the table, he directly began to prepare for the production of this film.
It's not that he acted in a hurry, but that there wasn't much time left for him to operate.
If you want to make a Yakuza movie, of course you have to go to the Yakuza organization to learn from it, so as not to make a joke out of ignorance - or attract Yakuza revenge. When necessary, ask the Yakuza organization for assistance and ask their younger brothers to help make guest appearances.
The above is what happens naturally when making a Yakuza movie.
For the Yakuza organization, any Yakuza movies that appear on the market will attract their attention. If the Nōkai wants to shoot a movie related to the Yakuza, if they find them, they will probably get their help. However, if the script is too
If you are outrageous, you will of course be rejected. If you offend the Yakuza, there is also the risk of retaliation.
After all, there are directors who have actually been attacked by Yakuza boys because of the content of their films.)
However, that was still an era when Taoist forces could make all the difference. Today, will the Yakuza organization take action against the producer just because of a movie...
Shinichi Iwahashi didn't want to try this kind of thing.
Inakawa Kai has always advertised an image of "obeying the benevolence and justice of the Yakuza" to the outside world. No matter how it behaves in private, on the surface, it still looks like a traditional Yakuza, and it maintains a distance from ordinary people.
If you want to ask for help from such an organization, you must be easy to talk to. If you pass this ladder over, the next thing will happen naturally.
As for Tachikawa Kosan's side, it doesn't matter at all. However, Akina is worried that the content of the movie is too realistic and will cause dissatisfaction from the real estate company, but in fact, Tachikawa Kosan's side is the least important from beginning to end.
