452, have you seen the movie starting with FBI WARNING?
...
Naoki Nagayama looked at this uncle with a little surprise. "Kamen Rider" can be said to be the representative of Showa tokusatsu dramas, and it has been popular all year round and has almost become one of Japan's cultural elements.
But seeing this guy at the club today, Nagayama Naoki became even more curious.
"Naoki-san, I invited you here today mainly because I want to discuss some issues about "Hot Blood High School"."
After Kadokawa Haruki sat down, he explained,
"I happened to meet Shotaro-san. After he heard that I was going to meet the production team of "Hot Blood High School" today, he asked me to get to know you all..."
Ishimori Shotaro said with a smile: "I couldn't help hearing that the director and editor of "Hot Blood High School", which has been hotly discussed in the circle recently, are coming~"
"I would like to ask, is there any comic creation for the movie "Hot Blood High School"? From the trailer, it can be seen that it has a strong comic style." When talking about his own comics, cartoonist Shotaro Ishimori is very sure.
"No..." Yin Tang Shuichi replied very straightforwardly, "The script is completely original by me and Naoki-san. As for the style of the manga..."
Nagayama Naoki also understood that the future "High School" is indeed a manga adaptation, but in this era it was published before the manga.
"Haha, the so-called comic style may be because we exaggerated youth, passion, etc. when we were filming~" Nagayama Naoki explained with a smile, "By the way, the preview screening of the film will be held soon.
Ishimori-san can also come and take a look."
"Ah, you must take a sneak peek."
After Nagayama Naoki and Ishimori Shotaro chatted for a while, Kadokawa Haruki who was next to him also finished reminiscing with Yoshimura Otomo and started the main topic of today:
"Naoki-san, there is no problem with the appeal of the movie "High School". I wouldn't be surprised if it won the box office championship this year, but..."
Naoki Nagayama, Otomo Yoshimura and Shuichi Indo all looked over and said, "I have received news that it seems that the industry is planning to criticize this movie."
"Shochiku Movies?" This was the only one Naoki Nagayama could not imagine. After all, he and Masaki Kobayashi had been friends for many years.
Indou Shuichi was also very puzzled: "Haruki-san, we have a good relationship with Shochiku? The previous film "The Story of Hachiko" and Naoki-san's "That Summer, the Sea of Tranquility" were both received by
We have the support of directors under Shochiku.”
Kadokawa Haruki shook his head: "Those are just a few directors of the New Wave Film Movement. There are more than just these people in Shochiku."
"This time I heard that it was Fukasaku Kinji who expressed his dissatisfaction with "Hot Blood High School"."
Fukasaku Kinji? It seems that I have never been in contact with this person? How could I offend him?
Kadokawa Haruki looked at the three people who looked like they didn't understand, and sighed: "Naoki-san and Shuichi-san are also famous directors in the industry. They should participate in some industry activities and make more connections!"
"Forehead....."
Shuichi Indou and Naoki Nagayama looked at each other. The two friends were filming one movie after another and were filming one TV series after another. How could they find time to socialize?
Nagayama Naoki gave Yintang Shuichi a look: "Shuiichi-san, I will leave this aspect to you from now on!"
"..." Yin Tang Shuichi said that I can't understand the look in your eyes at all.
Kadokawa Haruki continued: "Kinji Fukasaku's previous "March of Kamata" was overshadowed by two films produced by Shuyu. If it weren't for you, "March of Kamata" would have been considered a Grand Slam movie last year. Maybe
They can all create historical records.”
Indou Shuichi was a little strange: "This... Fukasaku Kinji shouldn't object to our new movie because of this kind of thing, right?"
If he objects to this because his films are not comparable, such a director will become a laughing stock in the film industry.
"No, it's also because Kinji Fukasaku's previous film "The Inhumane War" depicted the cruel Yakuza life and created a new form of knight-errant film, while Naoki-san's "Hot Blood High School" seems to have completely reversed the cruelty of Yakuza life.
The truth broke the image created by Fukasaku Kinji and aroused his dissatisfaction."
This... is this the founder of the sect who is dissatisfied with having his luck taken away?
Nagayama Naoki immediately remembered this old joke and shook his head to throw the idea out of his head: "Movies should be constantly innovating and trying."
"But this time, he seems to have united with a group of people to push the Japan Film Ethics Management Committee to give the film an r18 rating." Kadokawa Haruki said, "On the grounds that the film will have a negative impact on young people."
Hmm... This seems to be a problem. Naoki Nagayama also knows that after this movie is broadcast, it will definitely create a wave of Yakuza trends and may also cause controversy in the media.
If it is rated r18, then only audiences over 18 years old are allowed to watch, which will reduce a large part of the box office.
Fangcun Dayou asked: "Chun Shusang, can't we stop him?"
"This is difficult, because after all, the opinions are given for legitimate reasons. Even if Kadokawa has a certain influence on the Japan Film Ethics Management Committee, he cannot completely suppress it."
After all, Kadokawa is still a new generation among the top five Japanese film studios, while Shochiku is an established company with a long history, and its connections are like a spider web.
For a moment, the box fell into silence, and the other people couldn't think of any good ideas.
It seems that the real person in charge is this young man in his early twenties?
Kadokawa Haruki sighed: "This possibility is very high. I am telling you today to prepare you. In short, we Kadokawa will try our best to lobby."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! ...
Ishimori Shotaro was sitting aside drinking a drink and silently watching the people in Shuyu's movie. He was surprised to find that the two older ones, Yoshimura Otomo and Yoto Shuichi, had actually set their sights on the youngest Naoki Nagayama!
Nagayama Naoki's head was running wildly. At this time, he seemed to have thought of something strange, and the smile on his face actually looked a bit lewd...
"Mina-san...have you ever seen the movie with FBI warning as the title?"
As soon as these words came out, several men present had awkward expressions on their faces. Even a playboy like Haruki Kadokawa was a little awkward in this regard. I wonder if Naoki Nagayama was referring to some kind of movie.
"Are you looking at censored or uncensored content?" Naoki Nagayama asked further.
Indou Shuichi looked at Naoki Nagayama speechlessly: "Naoki-san... you are still young, so it is understandable that you like to see these things, but there is no need to publicize it to everyone!"
Several other people also looked at Naoki Nagayama with different eyes, as if they were looking at a young man who didn't learn well!
"I mean... through which channel did you see the uncensored film source?"
As we all know, certain movies need to be coded before they are released in Japan! However, there is a kind of movie with FBI warning as the title, but it can be sold openly...
Kadokawa Haruki is a genius, and he suddenly thought of something: "Naoki-san... you mean to export the film to the United States first, and then import it back under the name of foreign trade goods?"
“Hi, it’s ‘export to domestic sales’.”
Nagayama Naoki directly talked about this method of exploiting legal loopholes. The people present were all adults who were mixed up in society. It was a matter of interest. As long as it was not illegal, any method could be tried.
Yoshimura Otomo 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." Haruki Kadokawa is the boss of a film production company, and he actually understands these things, "It's just that Japan's film censorship is actually very loose, and almost all other movies can be released, so it gives people
It made some special impressions.”
"In fact, there are almost no movies in Japan that have been classified as r18 due to violence." Shotaro Ishimori, who has always been a fan of movies, couldn't help but add, "If someone hadn't pushed for it this time, there wouldn't be such a problem at all."
"I see! Then this does seem to be a way to avoid scrutiny.
It’s a bit awkward though~”
The people present nodded and looked at Nagayama Naoki with meaningful eyes. They could actually think of such a method. Nagayama Naoki, how many movies have you seen with FBI warning as the title?
Yoshimura Otomo said softly to Nagayama Naoki: "Naoki-san, even young people should be more restrained!"
"..."
A hidden crisis was eliminated in this way, and everyone felt relieved.
Although there will definitely be reports in the media about the possible adverse effects of "High School" on teenagers, Shuyou Pictures will not be afraid of such things as wars of words.
Not to mention Kadokawa's strong influence in the publishing industry, Shuyu Pictures' financial offensive cannot be underestimated. At least in Tokyo, there is no reporter from a major newspaper who has not received a red envelope from Shuyu Pictures.
No matter whether they say good things or not, at least they will think carefully before saying bad things.
After solving the problem in their hearts, everyone began to have a happy relaxing time. The girls in the high-end club were good at singing and chatting, and they were happy until late at night.
.......
The sun rises and sets, time goes by, and September in Tokyo falls before people's eyes before they know it.
The weather is still very hot, but the rainfall brought by the typhoon has gradually washed away the summer heat. People who have lived in Tokyo all year round know that the pace of autumn has accelerated.
Under the bright sunshine, Nagayama Naoki led Yotaro back to Yamasakura Yard from outside.
Early in the morning, I resumed my morning exercise habit, and ran around with my big dog. By the way, I gave the ticket to the preview to Chiko Aoyama. Of course, it was Mr. Nobu Aoyama who picked it up, in exchange for:
"Stay away from my Chikoko!"
"This old man always doesn't believe me. Now I have a girlfriend!" Nagayama Naoki washed Yutaro's body with a water pipe in the yard, "Are you right? Yutaro?"
The Labrador, covered in white foam, was washed away in the bathtub. Even though the hair was stuck to his body, he could still tell that he was a strong dog. Without waiting for Nagayama Naoki to dry him, he shook it and wiped out all the water droplets.
Scattered on Naoki Nagayama!
"Yingtaro, you guy!
"Nagayama Naoki was so angry that he held down the dog that was seeking death, wrapped its head in a towel and rubbed it!
After wiping it roughly, Naoki Nagayama let the dog play in the yard. Under the strong sunlight, the entire hair would dry out in a short while.
Now that he had washed a dog, Naoki Nagayama glanced at Meowtaro who was lying beside him, then quietly walked over and picked up the cat without the owner paying attention!
"Meow meow! Meow meow meow! (Pooper, what are you going to do?)" Mew Taro looked at his pooper with a confused look on his face.
Then before the cat could react, he put it into the bathtub where the water had been changed. Then, despite the guy's resistance, he gave the cat a full body clean.
On this morning, it was Naoki Nagayama, the owner, who was the last to take a shower.
After spending the morning hanging out with his cats and dogs at Yamasakura-in, Naoki Nagayama drove his car to the studio.
"Otomo-san, are there any problems with the arrangements for tomorrow's preview?" After greeting the staff, he walked into the office and asked Fangcun Otomo.
"Don't worry, Naoki-san!"
Yoshimura Otomo is not in a hurry at all. This preview screening for the media is just for media reporters to come and see it as relevant people in the industry. It has been done many times.
However, Nagayama Naoki still checked it carefully, especially the relevant aspects of the media reporters. Because he had anticipated that reporters might ask sharp questions, he had made an exception and arranged for some reporters with whom he was close to serve as on-site support.
Neutralize weird issues.
At this moment, Yoto Shuichi came in from the outside and smiled after seeing Nagayama Naoki:
"Sure enough, Naoki-san is still worried?"
"Yeah... I always feel that there is something wrong this time." Naoki Nagayama nodded. Although he didn't know who would jump out, the guys who had been undercurrent before would not give up.
"Should we add more security personnel?"
"Haha, that's not necessary, I've already called Brother Feng!"
Nagayama Naoki smiled. If Nagayama Kaede went, a few of his younger brothers would naturally go as well. If there was really any outrageous behavior, their deterrence would be much more powerful than the security guards.
After talking for a long time about preparations for the preview, Naoki Nagayama changed the question until he had nothing to talk about anymore:
"Otomo-san, how is things going with Etsurou Kikuchi?"
Yoshimura 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 resolute."
Naoki Nagayama's tone cannot be said to be a compliment or a disparagement. Generally speaking, when senior people in the entertainment industry leave their jobs, they start their next job in their original position. On the one hand, they can borrow some resources from their current employer.
On the other hand, it can also be transferred to the next home more safely.
However, Etsuro Kikuchi seemed to be impatient and resigned from his position at Burning Firm first, and began to devote himself wholeheartedly to this company, which was still an empty shell at present.
"It's not a shell company. Ayano Fukuhara, the lovely person in charge of the original Wild Cats, and Saka Nonaka, the singing person, both went with Etsurou Kikuchi."
"Ah, these two~" Naoki Nagayama had almost forgotten what they looked like after not seeing each other for two years, "They probably have no future in the Burning Office."
"Yeah." Yoshimura Otomo's expression was a little abnormal, but it soon returned to normal.
Nagayama Naoki noticed: "Otomo-san, there is no need to think too much. If they seize the opportunity this time, as the senior members of the girl group, as long as the girl group does not weaken, they will always have a foothold in the entertainment industry.
"
Whether it's a small announcement or a large-scale celebration, review, etc., someone will always invite the elders.
Fangcun Dayou nodded: "What about the three Maoyan sisters?"
"They were just a gimmick at the beginning of "Dusk Meow" to give them a halo. From now on, the future of the three sisters will still be in our movie."
Naoki Nagayama gave Otomo Yoshimura reassurance, but he had never thought of moving all three Maoyan sisters into the new girl group company.
Yintang Shuichi, who had been listening for a long time, became a little impatient:
"Naoki-san, I'm going to find the teacher first to check the news and see if there is any latest information."
"Okay~"
Nagayama Naoki nodded, but he also thought about it, should he also invite Kobayashi Masaki to have tea?
