Maybe it's because this child is really a gift from God to Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko.
Perhaps it’s because Ning Weimin’s feat of sending red envelopes to all his grassroots employees has accumulated virtue and added blessings to them.
Anyway, since Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko returned to Tokyo, Japan and confirmed that Keiko was pregnant, their luck has become particularly good.
You simply get what you want, everything you wish for comes true, and everything goes as planned.
Keiko Matsumoto, the future mother of her child, was delighted to learn that while she was away from Japan, the TV series "Black Leather Notepad" in which she starred had firmly topped the national Japanese TV drama list starting from the third episode.
.
In the end, it ended with an average time-sharing rating of 33.7% and a maximum time-sharing rating of 39.1%.
This result even pushed this drama into the fifth highest-rated Japanese drama to date.
Then she got a surprising piece of accounting data from Songzhu.
The second masterpiece produced by Fog Studios, "Crazy Rich Asians" was released on Valentine's Day and was also a success.
In the end, it earned a box office of 3.3 billion yen across Japan, setting a new high box office record for a film produced by Wu Studio.
Moreover, the movie's theme song "Continuous Stream" also received great response in the Japanese music scene. As the movie's box office continued to rise, the single quickly rose to the top of the hot charts and was widely praised by people.
The soundtrack album produced and released by Taurus for this film also sold 550,000 copies in the Japanese market.
So far, the film's box office in Japan and the income from the original soundtrack alone have been enough to cover the production costs, and it has even begun to make a profit, with a profit of at least 300 million yen to 400 million yen.
In other words, this movie is already destined to make a lot of money.
In the future, all profits from other markets will be pure profits.
Moreover, in the future, the income from copyrights will continue to benefit Fog Film Studio.
But that's not the most important thing. The key is that this TV series and movie were completely praised in the newspapers, with very few criticisms.
This means that Matsumoto Keiko's Fog Studio has not only further consolidated its position in the film industry, but also increased its voice.
Moreover, it has also opened up a situation where the major TV stations had almost complete control over the production of TV dramas, forcibly opening a gap and gaining a certain amount of room for development.
In addition, the French films produced by Keiko Matsumoto and the Chinese-language films brought to Japan by Ning Weimin are performing well in the market, and the number and types of films in their film libraries are sufficient for independent theaters to release them all year round.
Now, not only are more and more independent theaters deciding to maintain long-term cooperative relationships with them, but they also have stable partners in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto.
With the help of Shochiku Pictures, the screening business of these movies has been further extended to Yokohama, Sapporo, Kobe, Hiroshima, and Nagoya.
It can be said that Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko relied on the film library to control some small independent theaters that were originally unsystematic.
Although the two of them did not invest in the establishment of the theater, they also have their own cinema, at least they can cover most of the big cities in Japan to ensure the simultaneous release of at least 50 screens.
Therefore, it is precisely because of this that Ning Weimin introduced the first Hong Kong film "Ghost Girl Ghost" in Japan with the help of his wife's foggy studios, so that the cinema lines and these independent theaters of Songzhu reflected were raised to one hundred.
More than forty cinemas are released simultaneously.
And soon proved that this movie was a box office dark horse. In the first week, the box office reached 280 million yen.
Not much, the quality of the film box office depends on many factors.
Including film themes and scripts, main creative teams, film positioning, film quality, fare, schedule, distribution, theater line films, promotion and other aspects, but in any case, the number of screen screens is the most important.
The more theater screening, the more audiences can see, the more conducive to word of mouth fermentation.
This is why "Ghost Girl Ghost" can be fired in Japan, compared with the original history, even if there are no two starring actors from Leslie Cheung and Wang Zuxian this time to promote the film for the film.
But because of the large number of painting, it still allows this movie to rely on excellent quality, romantic national style aesthetics, and the topic that Japanese people like, which also makes this movie fire.
36 billion yen.
In short, Matsumoto's foggy studios have completed the transformation at an unimaginable speed, becoming a production institution and producer that allows the Japanese industry to respect.
Whether it is a movie theater line or a TV station as a media platform, or a brokerage firm that drinks the artist's blood, you must welcome each other with a smile on the foggy studio.
Because the foggy studio not only likes to shoot large -making works, but also can also be successful. Such production capabilities are simply too important for them.
The benefits of the foggy studio can bring them countless benefits. Now in their eyes, they are equivalent to the money printing machine and cash cow.
It can be said that as long as the foggy studio's big production works in the future, there will be no Waterloo -like failure in the future.
This film and television drama production agency will be a partner that they can never refuse.
Aside from the content and the scale of operation, let's talk about the current industry's influence.
In fact, in the eyes of industry insiders, the foggy studio has been compared with the "five major" of the Japanese screening industry.
As long as the number of works taken every year can be gradually raised, the fog mosaic factory becomes the "six major".
Therefore, because of this, Matsumoto Takuko won the Best Actress Award again in the 11th Japan Film Academy Award.
And her foggy studios won the best movie, best director, best actress, etc. of the Japanese Film Academy Award for the movie "Li Xianglan", and even became the first film in the 1987 Benbang box office in 1987.
It's all right.
In fact, at the awards ceremony, when Matsumoto Keiko took the stage to accept the award, countless filmmakers stood up and applauded her, which was unprecedented in the history of the Academy Awards.
It is enough to prove her current status in the Japanese entertainment industry. Almost everyone has to pamper her, pat her, coax her, and provide for her. This is the status of the industry.
Of course, it is unclear how much of this is admiration, how much is gratitude, how much is flattery, and how much is fear or submission to the general trend.
Anyway, no matter what, Matsumoto Keiko, who is about to be a mother, has been really graceful and decent recently.
Although the only drawback is that she suffers from morning sickness, which is something that has been tormenting her recently.
But the good news that her career is booming has given her comfort to a large extent, providing her with motivation to cheer up and effectively reducing her pain.
It helped her get through the most intense period of reaction unconsciously.
And this is her unique personal benefit.
As for Ning Weimin, he was equally generous.
When he returned to Tokyo this time, he simply came back to get the red envelope.
There is only one thing he wants to do - count money!
For no other reason than because since 1988, Japan has completely entered a frantic era of out-of-control credit expansion.
First of all, under the "window guidance" of the Bank of Japan, the loan targets that major Japanese banks need to complete are getting higher and higher, which forces these banks to take increasingly excessive and unconventional operations.
To what extent are these so-called unconventional operations excessive?
It’s so extreme that you don’t need much collateral anymore.
Not only did Japan's major banks begin to lend large amounts of funds to individuals and companies that were unable to repay, they even began to relax their assessment of the value of collateral, especially real estate.
In the past, when a house was mortgaged, the bank would only lend 50%, but now it has been increased to 70%.
And as the value of houses continues to appreciate, this ratio is still increasing.
Banks will also take the initiative to ask customers who have already taken loans if they would like to receive additional loans.
In the words of thirty years later, it was a "big release" of completely turning on the faucet.
It’s no longer a matter of accepting as much as you can, but as much as you want.
The bank has enough.
So now in Japan, both small companies and individuals can easily get low-interest loans.
And in this era when stock prices and land prices are skyrocketing, who would use these loans to actually start a business?
Of course, after you get it, you can buy stocks and real estate.
Secondly, the Bank of Japan not only caused the bubble through lending, but also directly participated in creating the bubble.
Japanese consortiums cross-hold a large number of stocks with each other, and two-thirds of the stocks in the entire Japanese stock market are held by each other.
The stocks held by these consortiums only account for nearly half of the shares held by these consortia.
Everyone has me, I have you among me.
Especially in early 1988, Japan also introduced a new accounting standards -if the stock held in the hand of the bank, some of which can also be recorded as the real income of the year.
This criterion is replaced by popular expression -as long as the stock price has been rising, no matter whether the company actually makes money or not, the book is made of money.
The book is making money, and the stock price will rise.
This is a loop that promotes each other.
At that time, the interest rate was so low. The consortium borrowed money to buy each other's stocks, making the bubble larger and larger, and the last issue was out of control.
In general, it is Japan's whole country, no matter what levels, in the case of credit flood, the chase of stocks and real estate has reached a consensus completely.
All in Japan are immersed in high land prices, the fantasy of high stock prices, making daydreams.
People can't extricate themselves in the enthusiastic gold worship. Almost all assets, stocks, real estate, and even art, and even art, golf membership certificates have begun to rise at an amazing speed.
Relatively speaking, only the threshold of the loan and the interest of the bank have been reduced.
So you can imagine how good this is a foam gentleman!
The carp jumps the dragon door, and the one -day rich thing is abound.
As soon as Ning Weimin returned to Tokyo, he was quickly contacted by Ji Mao's father and son.
It wasn't that he took the initiative to find someone, but he took the initiative to find him.
This was really worthy of his father and son. He was almost grateful to Dade. He stuffed the 10 billion yen of Subtittees Bank to the flower, and the interest was only 2.5%.
Ning Weimin gave this money into the stock market almost without hesitation, plus the funding to go to the shuttle.
And the stock he bought is indeed fighting, especially the Hanyu Industrial, inadvertently, his total assets, including the balance of commercial bill issuance, has exceeded 6 trillion yen.
The balance of Trust and the designated gold trust is as high as 600 billion yen. Most of them are under the premise of rising stock prices. Securities companies and trust banks give the income guarantee "handshake" to hold gold.
Therefore, the market value of Haihe Industrial has no suspense for more than 880 billion yen, and has started to create a new high.
The land price is even more incredible.
During this period, the house prices on Ginza Street, Tokyo have reached 350,000 US dollars a square meter.
Ginza real estate under Ning Weimin's name has been worth as high as 40 million US dollars.
Saying in Japan at this time, it is really not a joke to buy the United States.
Therefore, the large number of tourism real estate projects in Guam and Hawaii have been replaced by the owner, and they have become Japanese.
Even in European countries, there are also news and news that Japanese people buy assets in large quantities.
Even real estate developers and service personnel of European and American countries have begun to be keen to learn Japanese in order to obtain higher labor remuneration.
Therefore, now Ning Weimin can no longer calculate how many assets he has in his name, because the leverage is full and the debt structure has become complicated.
It's also because asset prices change so fast.
As soon as he finished calculating a number on the front foot, the number on the back foot changed again.
Of course, it was definitely changing for the better, with more and more money, he was sure of this.
In short, Ning Weimin now has absolute confidence in his personal property and his own economic strength.
He no longer cares about the risk of investment failure in supporting his wife's career. Can the risk be as high as the risk of him increasing leverage?
Even if all the projects auctioned this year were lost, he didn't care.
However, Keiko Matsumoto's pregnancy made him still uneasy. Although he was ecstatic, he had to force Keiko Matsumoto to change his work plan for the new year for the safety of the fetus and the health of his wife.
At least she couldn't be allowed to film "The Wandering Princess". The scene involved people suffering from cold, starvation, and displacement. It was too painful to act. He was not willing to pursue reality, so the child took risks.
Regarding this, Matsumoto Keiko was a little reluctant at first. She loved acting and she couldn't stand Ning Weimin's caution. Thinking about not working for a year, just eating, drinking, having fun, and giving gifts, she didn't dare to be so relaxed.
Thinking about it, it feels a bit boring, a bit empty, and even scary.
But then again, Matsumoto Keiko also wanted to tie her to the bed with a rope because of Ning Weimin to raise her baby.
It is very difficult for Japanese people to pay special attention to it.
For example, Ning Weimin first took her around to find obstetricians and gynecologists in well-known hospitals to ask about various precautions.
Then I studied relevant books every day and gave her countless instructions every day.
It can be said that Ning Weimin was a lot busier after she became pregnant.
But no matter how busy he was, he didn't want his wife to be busy. He took care of the housework, cooked nutritious meals for his wife, and helped Qingzi handle the affairs of the office and the studio.
Of course Matsumoto Keiko felt sorry for her husband's busy schedule, but Ning Weimin did not feel tired or hard. Instead, he felt that life had a clear goal to look forward to, and his life was more meaningful than before.
All of this made Matsumoto Keiko feel extremely sweet. Although she felt that Ning Weimin cared a little too much for her, she was happy with it. She was the happiest pregnant woman in the world.
