The Yakuza organization calls its headquarters a "firm" or "office". Entering modern society, the Yakuza must of course keep pace with the times. Its internal operations are quite similar to a modern enterprise, with everyone performing their duties. The efficiency is not low.
Therefore, no matter how tense the atmosphere of internal confrontation within the Inagawa-kai is, the organization itself is still operating normally. All necessary business transactions are sent to the Inagawa-kai's office in Roppongi as usual every day to the group cadres belonging to the Inagawa Yuhi camp. They still showed up in the office every day as if nothing had happened.
The surrounding environment of the Yakuza organization's office is quiet, and the police have thoughtfully set up a "raptors ahead" warning nearby to ensure that passers-by will not be frightened by the men in suits hanging around.
Compared to the Yamaguchi-gumi, who are famous and almost synonymous with the Japanese Yakuza, Inagawa Club is low-key and secretive. As for Inagawa Holy City, as a big shot who can have a drink with Kazuo Daoka, he always hides behind the scenes and restrains his sharpness. Unlike Kazuo Taoka, he is as high-profile as a star godfather. He even let Ken Takakura play himself and made a movie based on him. Ken Takakura also played the role of the elder, and he has become a brother of Kazuo Taoka ever since. , every time I go to a place to shoot a movie, there are boys from the Yamaguchi-gumi who help me take care of my life and clean up the studio.
The Yamaguchi-gumi has always been actively involved in the entertainment industry, and the Yamaguchi-gumi assisted many of the Yakuza films produced in the golden age of Yakuza films. In contrast, the Inagawa-kai did not have any success even when the Yakuza films were flourishing. Get involved more. Because of this, at this time when Yakuza movies are in decline, this sudden letter is particularly special.
In this day and age, is there anyone who wants to make a Yakuza movie and is looking for Inakawa's help?
Ordinarily, such a request for assistance is not something worth worrying about. You only need to scan the general plot of the movie to make sure there is nothing strange, and then provide the other party with appropriate assistance - this kind of selling favors shows that you can It's an opportunity for good radical members, and basically no organization will refuse it.
However, the plot description of this planned movie is also very strange.
A neighborhood to be developed, an internal struggle within the Yakuza organization triggered by a headless death... The strong sense of déjà vu made it impossible for the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Inagawa Society, who had read this letter, not to read this story. The background is connected with everything currently surrounding Shinjuku 5-chome.
It is not difficult to investigate the background of Tachikawa Kosan if you are willing.
Strangely, I had to ask for help from the Yamaguchi-gumi, who had always been close to the entertainment industry, but I found the Inagawa Kai's head.
Such a blatant insinuation is not enough, but you have to ask for help from the Inagawa Society?
"That's not true! Even the extreme ones have the face of the extreme ones!"
Which producer acts so arrogantly and tricks the extreme?
This letter was sent in the name of Shinichi Iwahashi.
Shinichi Iwahashi is a man who has stirred up the entertainment industry in recent years.
…
Of course, the request letter sent to the Inagawa Society will not include the script of the movie. In fact, at this moment, the final script has not been finalized. I think Mitani Yuki’s idea is very promising, but as for the one Iwahashi Shinichi has read As for the script, it can only be regarded as a semi-finished product.
After confirming the idea, Iwahashi Shinichi will meet with Mitani Yuki again to discuss and decide what the core conspiracy in the movie should be.
What the Inagawa Club received was just the beginning of the script that Shinichi Iwahashi gave to the screenwriters. Of course, even if there was a script, Shinichi Iwahashi would not be able to release it now.
Iwahashi Shinichi expected that if Inakawa Club internally looked at the plot introduction, they would know where the movie was based.
This approach must bear some risks of offending the extreme. However, it is common sense that the cards in your hand cannot be revealed at the beginning. It means that you can only carry out corresponding operations when it is ambiguous.
Because, when things are still unclear, if you want to do something, you must do it with the imagination of the opposite side.
If he lets the Inagawa Society know his side's thoughts from the beginning, then it is tantamount to handing the decision-making power directly into the hands of the Inakawa Society. That is not negotiating, but waiting to be decided.
In the imaginative stage, creating an illusion for the opponent is a basic operation technique.
The Yakuza organization attaches great importance to face. This kind of "face" sometimes even reaches the point where it is considered ridiculous by ordinary people outside.
However, in the dark world, if you lose face, you will not be able to hold your head high in front of other organizations.
Sending such a letter directly to the Inagawa Society, only by sending the letter in this way that challenges the face of the Yakuza, can they move to the next step with their heart to protect face.
It was like preparing an exquisite script, a perfect reasoning about the Shinjuku 5-chome incident and so on. The opponent was shocked and found that there was a military strategist who had insight into everything, so he took his hand and asked for it.
Become sworn sworn friends with him...just think about it.
To expect the Yakuza to think highly of themselves because of a script that has seen through everything - but may not really see through it all, is as unrealistic as possible.
In this kind of competition with only one chance, even if you have to bear a certain risk, you must choose the option with a higher realization rate. After receiving such a letter, the Inagawa Club, out of face, must respond to Yan directly no matter what.
Hashi Shinichi, and we can’t delay it for too long.
As long as there is back and forth, the game can go on. As long as we have a positive dialogue about this matter, we can find a breakthrough point.
After Iwahashi Shinichi sent someone to send this letter requesting assistance, he temporarily took a break from this matter and continued to deal with other tasks. Of course, he also waited for the news from the Inagawa Club.
It's half past June, and the rainy season is here, which makes people feel that time is even longer. When it comes to the rainy season, depression often occurs. However, it is no wonder that we have to put on the mask of a social person, deal with bosses and customers, and deal with various problems.
The mental state of the Japanese is worrying, and there is a high chance that they will turn into gentlemen after drinking yellow soup.
Shinichi Iwahashi cheered up and moved from one meeting to another. In the evening, he accepted the invitation from Fuji TV officials to attend the TV station's banquet.
After getting into the car, Shinichi Iwahashi opened his notepad, confirmed the itinerary, and then looked at the ongoing and pending plans written in the notebook.
This year is a critical year in every sense of the word.
He turned the notepad to the last page and used a pen to scratch out "15" on the calendar. On the small calendar, June starts from "1" and is lined up like a string of black dots the size of sesame seeds and mung beans.
