Hearing the sound of the door opening, Oshiro Shoji subconsciously looked up and saw that the person coming in was Masahiro Nakamura who had been missing for about two days, so he couldn't help but say hello.
"Where have you been in the past two days? No one answered my call... The crew originally had some things that needed you to decide, but because they couldn't contact you, I asked them to postpone it temporarily until you come back.
Process."
"Whatever happens is just some trivial matters for the crew."
Pouring his lips, Nakamura Masahiro looked nonchalant, and even his tone of voice became a little disdainful. Workers in the Japanese workplace really pay attention to details, but following the rules makes people feel a bit rigid. p>
Maybe it’s because the workplace atmosphere is like this and everyone is used to it. But Masahiro Nakamura really can’t get used to it. Sometimes he has to apply and report for even the most important things one by one, like a robot that only follows established procedures.
"Everything that needs to be arranged has been arranged. All we need to do is follow the procedures... Besides, the producers arranged by TBS TV station are not just decorations. Couldn't they be able to handle anything at all?"
"That's what I say...but they are mainly dealing with matters other than filming. If you intervene rashly, without a specific reason, it can easily be regarded as provocation."
Masahiro Nakamura can comment on the producers of TBS TV station, but Shoji Oshiro does not have the courage. He defended the producer, and then asked Masahiro Nakamura directly.
"Nakamura-san, if the producer intervenes directly without your permission and for no special reason, wouldn't you care at all?"
"Uh..."
Faced with this problem, Nakamura Masahiro was speechless for a moment and became silent. As Shoji Oshiro said, if the producer chooses to intervene directly without notifying Nakamura Masahiro, then there will definitely be a gap in his heart.
The scope of work in the Japanese workplace is relatively clearly demarcated, and everyone has a part that they are responsible for. If you interfere in other people's work without the permission of the other party, it will almost be regarded as a provocation.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I will deal with those things later."
Not wanting to continue talking, Nakamura Masahiro directly ended the topic. He walked to the chair, sat down, then changed the topic and assigned a new task to Oshiro Shoji.
"Shoji, please take some time to buy the copyright of an online novel called "School Year 1 Year で Deviation Value を 40 Upper げ て Keio University Current Pass し た Story"..."<
/p>
""The academic year is 1 year, the deviation value is 40, and the Keio University is currently active and qualified"?"
Shoji Oshiro repeated the title of the book. Such a long and cumbersome string is comparable to a belt tied around the waist. It is indeed the style of an online novel. If a traditional book had such a long and verbose name, there would be a high probability that it would be read by someone.
Criticize severely.
"Online novel? Copyright? Nakamura-san, are you preparing for the next movie?"
"Well, it's time to prepare in advance."
Nodding, Nakamura Masahiro rummaged in the desk drawer for a while. Soon, a business card with artistic fonts was taken out by Nakamura Masahiro.
"This is the business card of the editor of Kadokawa Bunko. It seems... uh, his name is Honda Goshiyu. If nothing else, the copyright of this book may be with Kadokawa Bunko."
"Where does the copyright belong to Kadokawa Bunko?"
Taking the business card from Nakamura Masahiro, Ojo Shoji lowered his head and looked at it. Editor Honda Goshiyu's name was printed on it. He frowned and pursed his lips, looking like he was thinking.
"Kadokawa Bunko is not easy to contact. If you want to negotiate the copyright away from them, it will be very difficult."
Kadokawa Bunko is a brand under Kadokawa Shoten. Relying on the monopoly influence and channels of Kadokawa Group, it can be said to be a tyrant in the industry. Once the copyright is in their hands, it will not be easy to negotiate.
Licensing fees and the like are all basic operations. If the work being negotiated is of extremely high value, Kadokawa Bunko will just go ahead and carry out the operation without giving others a chance.
After all, the Kadokawa Group behind Kadokawa Bunko is an undoubted industry giant. In magazines, animation, games, music, film and television, etc., there is almost no field that Kadokawa Group has not been involved in.
The so-called industrial ecological chain that is popular in China has actually been played by Kadokawa Group for a long time. Relying on its dominance in the publishing industry, Kadokawa Group has extended its tentacles to various upstream and downstream fields.
For example, Kadokawa Pictures and its affiliated theaters in the film industry, pay TV stations and magazines in the media industry, offices and agencies in the entertainment industry, music companies and performance companies in the music industry... It is no exaggeration to say that Kadokawa Group can
Cover a project from beginning to end.
"Just try your best...at worst, just let them participate."
Nakamura Masahiro also knows how difficult it is to get the copyright from Kadokawa Bunko, so his psychological expectations are not that high. Of course, the best case scenario is that Kadokawa Bunko has not yet signed the copyright for the online novel.
"Try to find it first. It's best if Kadokawa Bunko hasn't signed this online novel yet..."
"I'll try my best..."
Shoji Oshiro sighed, somewhat lacking confidence in his heart. Since the business card of the editor of Kadokawa Bunko has appeared, there is a high probability that Kadokawa Bunko has set its sights on the copyright of that online novel.
"By the way, Nakamura-san, I have almost checked the investment budget of those firms."
Oshiro Shoji suddenly changed the topic and talked about Nakamura Masahiro's investment from the entertainment circle firm. Because Nakamura Masahiro is busy with the Taiwan celebration drama of TBS TV station, Oshiro Shoji is mainly responsible for this matter.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Small firms basically have no budget for this, and they don't have much money... As for large firms, they do have such expenditures and are willing to invest."
"However, they also have demands. If you want to get the money from them, you must agree to their demands."
At this point, Oshiro Shoji paused for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he continued: "Don't worry about the box office, they won't have any requirements. But as for the actors, they have some conditions."
"Are there some conditions? Zhaoji, tell me, what conditions do they have?"
Nakamura Masahiro raised his eyebrows subconsciously, becoming interested in the so-called conditions mentioned by Ojo Shoji. If you want to get investment from those stingy firms, how is it possible without some conditions?
After all, those firms are not philanthropic, and doing good deeds without asking for anything in return is not their style at all. Even if they invest in low-cost bad movies and don't care about box office results, they still want to praise their newcomers.
"We are not pursuing leading roles, but we must leave one starring role for them. In addition, actors such as supporting roles must give priority to their artists."
After briefly talking about the conditions proposed by those firms, Oshiro Shoji turned his attention to Nakamura Masahiro, with a hint of teasing on his face.
"Finally, the movie must have your name on it. Even if you didn't actually shoot it, your name must be on it."
"Didn't you mention it to them? Will this movie be supervised by Takayoshi Tanazawa?"
The previous conditions are relatively in line with expectations, and Nakamura Masahiro has been mentally prepared for a long time. The only difference is just the number of actors used.
However, the last request for signature was a bit beyond Nakamura Masahiro’s expectation. According to his idea, if he was not deeply involved in the filming of the movie, Nakamura Masahiro would not intend to sign it.
After all, Tanazawa Takayoshi is also a senior supervisor of TBS TV station, and he is quite well-known in the industry. If you sign casually without really participating, it would be disrespectful to Tanazawa Takayoshi.
"I mentioned this matter to them, and they also recognized Tanazawa Takayoshi's ability to supervise. But the problem is, they only recognize your name..."
A helpless smile appeared on the corner of Oshiro Shoji's mouth. When he communicated with those offices, they recognized the name Nakamura Masahiro, and there was nothing he could do.
Although Tanazawa Takayoshi is considered a senior supervisor in the industry, in terms of popularity and influence, he is obviously not as good as the new supervisor Nakamura Masahiro.
After all, the supervisor Takayoshi Tanazawa mainly works in the field of TV dramas and has little involvement in the film field. Masahiro Nakamura has been nominated for the Berlin Film Festival and has become famous in the industry and the public.
The entertainment industry is so realistic and cruel. No matter how long you have been in the industry, as long as you don't have box office performance or authoritative awards, you won't get the attention of others.
Even if Nakamura Masahiro, who was nominated for the Berlin Film Festival, may not win the award in the end, it will not hinder his positioning and influence in the industry. To put it bluntly, from the moment he was nominated for the Berlin Film Festival, Nakamura Masahiro’s value
Already surpassed Takayoshi Tanazawa.
"Okay, I'll find a chance to communicate with senior Tanazawa Takayoshi, I hope he won't mind."
With a sigh, Nakamura Masahiro planned to discuss this matter with Takayoshi Tanazawa later. It is definitely impossible to say that Takayoshi Tanazawa has no ideas at that time, but the entertainment industry is such a reality. I believe Takayoshi Tanazawa
I also understand this.
"It's useless even if he doesn't mind, unless he has proven results."
Shoji Oshiro curled his lips, with a hint of disdain in the raised corners of his mouth, and said in a critical tone: "If he refuses, his movie will have to be solved by himself... The investment you promised him
