Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 142 How Do You Know That Big People Don’t Like It?

Chapter 142 How Do You Know That Big People Don’t Like It?
Roppongi at night, an old place I haven’t been to for a long time.

Hideki Hanyu and Yukio Tanaka walked in, shoulder to shoulder.

The two had already had a drink at the restaurant just now. Under the stimulation of alcohol, they were obviously more excited.

Having been busy for so long, it was rare for Hanyu Hideki to relax. After drinking a little wine, he felt relaxed.

But what he didn’t know was that, not far from the store door, the reporter from Nakajima pressed the shutter of the camera and recorded all of his appearance at the moment.

“So many photos of this kind have been taken before, why are we still taking them?” the companion asked Nakajima reporter.

“Haven’t you heard of it recently? Recently, someone is collecting Hideki Hanyu’s ‘material’. Although this kind of photo is useless to us, there will be some money there.” Nakajima reporter replied.

“Who? Who would collect Hideki Hanyu’s ‘material’? Has he offended anyone recently?” The companion was a little strange.

“Not recently, but there used to be.” Reporter Nakajima said, leaning over to his companion and whispering a name, “Johnny’s Office.”

Upon hearing this, the companion said in surprise, “Then the siblings still dare to provoke Hideki Hanyu?”

“There’s no reason to dare, because Hideki Hanyu, the people he cultivated with great difficulty are suspended from their activities, and it’s strange that they don’t think about revenge.” Reporter Nakajima said.

“That incident can’t be blamed on Hideki Hanyu, it’s all because their artists are stupid.”

“How can people reflect on their own problems? Besides, because of that incident, Yunshang Pictures refused to cooperate with Johnny’s, causing Johnny’s to lose most of its advertising resources. It’s good that they can bear it until now.”

“what!”

The companion showed an absurd expression and said, “Could it be that the siblings think that their artist scolded Hanyu Hideki, and Hanyu Hideki asked them not to cooperate.”

“Perhaps they really thought so. It is estimated that the two people are still waiting for Hideki Hanyu to publicly accept their apology, and then shake hands and make peace.”

Reporter Nakajima sneered and shook his head.

“The editor-in-chief has long wanted to report what the siblings did to the trainees, but unfortunately they have not been able to find key evidence.”

“Those two are really bastards.”

“What’s the matter with the bastards? They can make money for the children in the firm. If the parents of those children turn a blind eye, what can we do?”

“Why don’t those big shots care about it?”

“Big man, how do you know that big man doesn’t like boys?” Reporter Nakajima said with a weird smile.

Reporter Nakajima was outside talking about the big shots who were interested in boys. In the nightclub, Hideki Hanyu’s nightlife had just begun.

He, who hadn’t come for a long time, was warmly welcomed by the custom lady.

Perhaps because of the impact of the just-announced rich list, Feng Shi Niang is more enthusiastic about him than before.

After all, the girls who are willing to come here are not for money?Could it be because I love this job?

A rich and handsome boy like Hideki Hanyu is definitely the favorite customer of the custom lady.

“Mr. Hanyu, I don’t feel well here recently, can you take a look for me?”

Pointing to her chest, the girl asked Hanyu Hideki coquettishly.

“I’m just a writer, not a doctor, Miss Reiko, you’ve found the wrong person.”

“I didn’t make a mistake, it’s all because I miss Mr. Hanyu so much that I feel uncomfortable.”

“Is that so? That’s really a pity.” Hideki Hanyu didn’t believe what the hostess said.

The store they came to is a senior membership system, and the customers who can come are either rich or expensive.

Therefore, the girls who work here not only have high requirements on appearance and figure, but also have undergone careful training.

Not good in other aspects, but in terms of pleasing men, they are definitely at the elite level.

Yukio Tanaka, who was not next to him, was so bewildered. All kinds of expensive drinks were as cheap as free, and the mouths of the waitresses were almost crooked.

Hideki Hanyu was already worried that if this bastard got drunk in a while, he would have to pay for the treat he had agreed upon.

“Ms. Hanyu, doesn’t he think about how to comfort him?” the waitress Reiko posted, continuing to act coquettishly.

“Then how about I give Reiko a bottle of wine?”

“Okay.”

The waitress Lingzi hurriedly handed over the wine list. Although they also made money by chatting with them, their main income was from selling wine and getting a commission.

Hideki Hanyu unceremoniously ordered a bottle of foreign wine worth [-] yuan. Anyway, it was Yukio Tanaka’s treat.

When he was treating guests before, that guy was not polite.

Seeing that she got the commission, the waitress Reiko felt relieved of the pain in her heart, and continued her flattering work.

At midnight, the gathering is over.

After paying the bill, Yukio Tanaka walked out with his arms around a waitress, shaking his head at Hideki Hanyu who was alone as he walked.

“Every time Hanyu-san comes, he goes back alone, it’s so boring.”

“How about I go back with Yukio-san next time?”

“Forget it, I still like girls to accompany me.”

“Then I won’t bother Yukio-san.”

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he called a taxi waiting on the side of the road, got in the taxi and left without hesitation.

Behind him, Tanaka Yukio said angrily, “Hey, I was fooled by this kid again.”

“Next time, go directly to a hotel and lock this kid and a few girls in. I don’t believe he can bear it.”

On the street at night, Yukio Tanaka’s unwilling voice was left behind.

And Yukio Tanaka was equally unwilling, and there was Nakajima reporter who waited in the middle of the night.

“He walked alone again. Does he really have a physical problem?” Reporter Nakajima said angrily.

“I told you not to follow. If you don’t listen, you should just give up after being lost at the airport last time. I came back these two days and found nothing.” The companion said dissatisfied.

“Isn’t this just to earn some extra money? Tomorrow, I’ll go with Matsuda Seiko and Gohiromi first, and wait for him to finish his work and come back to watch the movie. Apart from work, it’s work. He doesn’t look like a rich man at all. He lost what he earned last year. more than 5 million.”

……

On the evening of May [-], at the Shochiku Cinema in Shinjuku, Tokyo.

The release reception of “Love, Go Home” held by Shochiku Films is about to begin.

It is said to be a reception, but it is actually a simple version of the premiere ceremony that belongs to this era.

Shochiku Films is the host, entertaining film critics in the industry, and reporters from related film and television media to watch the film and conduct publicity.

Shinsuke Ito and Kiyoshi Shimadzu, as the film director and producer of “Love, Come Home”, stood outside the door to welcome the invited guests.

Inside the movie theater, Hanyu Hideki, Hirohashi Asako, and Yoshioka Shota were waiting for the movie to start.

Around them, there are also several leading actors of the movie.

Since this movie tells a story of family affection, there is no violent pornographic element in the whole film, so the rating is that all ages can watch it.

Several young actors can also enter the cinema to watch the movies they star in.

For example, sitting next to Hideki Hanyu is Masato Saki, who is already nine years old. He was accompanied by his mother, and the expenses were naturally paid by Yunying Pictures.

The introverted “Uncle Yaren” was arranged by his father to join the baseball club after the new school year started, and he got tanned a lot after not seeing him for a short time.

And beside Hirohashi Asako, Miyazawa Rie sat.

Her terrible mother, Mitsuko Miyazawa, didn’t have time to come to the parent-child sports meeting last time, but this time her daughter’s movie was released, she ran over without an invitation.

Seeing how beautifully the other party is dressed, those who didn’t know thought she was starring in a movie.

It is estimated that this woman is looking forward to it in her heart. When the movie is released, her daughter will become a child star, and she will be able to help her earn endless money.

In addition to the two young actors, Granny Keiko, who played the grandmother, did not come from Qunma County due to physical reasons. It is a pity.

However, after Hideki Hanyu talked with Granny Keiko’s daughter on the phone, the other party said that she would take Granny Keiko to the movies in Gunma County.

Of course, as the only well-known professional actor in the play, Misako Konno was also present.

After this guy entered the arena, it seemed like nothing happened, and he talked and greeted Hanyu Hideki as usual.

The scumbag Hanyu couldn’t help but sigh, those who can be in the entertainment industry are indeed not ordinary people.

Originally, Hideki Hanyu wanted to have Akina come over to promote the movie.

However, after the release of “Future”, Akina Nakamori’s popularity skyrocketed, and she was so busy that she almost had no time to rest, so there was no time left to attend the premiere.

One after another, all the invitees showed up.

Hideki Hanyu found that in addition to film critics and media reporters, under the mobilization of Shochiku Eika and Ito Nobusuke, several well-known supervisors in the industry were also present.

For example, the current signature supervisor of Shochiku Films, Yamada Yoji, is the same as Ito Shinsuke’s master, and both come from Nomura Yoshitaro.

In addition to Yamada Yoji, the famous supervisor Morisaki Higashi was also present. This person also came from Nomura Yoshitaro.

It is a pity that Yoshitaro Nomura was unable to come in person because he was busy with starting a business.

However, although he himself did not come, he helped invite Shiro Moritani, a famous supervisor who also studied under Akira Kurosawa.

The other party is known as the supervisor of the neon blockbuster, and the “Neon Sinking” directed by him is the first film in the history of neon movies to earn 20 billion yen.

This exaggerated lineup of movie-watching supervisors was invited by Ito Shinsuke’s teacher to show his old face in order to support the first film supervised by his disciples.

As a result, the film critics and media reporters who entered the movie theater saw the scene and almost thought they had entered the wrong movie theater.

Are you sure this is a low-budget movie?Isn’t it the experimental work of some big director in the industry?
However, as the movie began to play, whether it was the supervisors who came to watch the movie, or film critics and reporters, they all focused on the movie.

Compared with the previous preview version, this version adds the titles of Shochiku Yinghua and Yunying Hua.

Naturally, everyone is familiar with the opening titles of Songzhu Yinghua, but the opening titles of Yunying Yinghua caught everyone’s eyes.

The young girl was sitting next to the chair, and saw a pure white feather falling on the ground, and reached out to pick it up.

As a result, a gust of wind blew, and the feathers flew up to the sky. As the wind flew higher and higher, they finally became a feather-like white cloud in the blue sky, and the words “Yinghua on the Cloud” appeared.

Immediately, there was a burst of astonishment among the movie-watching crowd, wondering how the title was shot.

Seeing this, Nobusuke Ito explained to Hanyu Hideki in a low voice with a little satisfaction.

“We hung the feathers in the air with thin fishing lines, and then blown them with a high-power blower. We took countless shots before we succeeded. After that, we wiped the fishing lines off the film frame by frame. The method was still Tetsuya Aragaki. Figured it out.”

Hideki Hanyu asked curiously, “What about the feather-shaped white cloud behind it?”

“That was a real shot, but it was shot in Okinawa. Only the weather there can meet the requirements.”

“For a title, you guys can really make a fuss.”

“Hanyu-san just tell me how the effect is.”

“It really feels good, and it’s a good job.”

Hideki Hanyu exaggerated his sincerity.

In this day and age, except for Hollywood, the titles of most film studios are extremely simple, basically just type the name of the film studio and it’s over.

It is the first time that Yunying Painting can be so creative in Neon.

Just look at the reactions of those film critics and reporters, as well as the supervisors.

But it’s useless to have a beautiful opening title. What everyone is watching is still the content of the movie.

If the film is not well made, those film critics and journalists will not be lenient with the film just because the opening title is novel.

How about the quality of the movie?
The theme song “Future” sung by Akina Nakamori played, and Granny Keiko stood alone on the side of the dusty road, watching the bus drive away, Hideki Hanyu could already hear the sobbing in the cinema.

A female film critic not far from Hideki Hanyu was wiping tears with a handkerchief.

Even male film critics with a relatively strong heart have reddened eyes at this time.

Many of them had read the original novel by Hideki Hanyu, and they were quite familiar with the plot before coming here.

But the impact brought by the video is still incomparable to words, and they were unbearably moved even though they were prepared.

Besides being moved, what surprised them the most was that this is a very innovative movie, a very different kind of neon movie.

There is no such thing as the previous neon movies about family affection, where the protagonist is thrown into the quagmire and placed in pain.

There are also no violent emotional conflicts, excessive performance, or deliberate exploration of certain values ​​and emotions.

A group of amateurs without any experience, using the most primitive way of acting, told a plain family story.

But when all the emotions are paved to the end of the story, the touch like a broken bank emerges from the plainness.

Coupled with the final singing of “Future”, it instantly crushed the hearts of every moviegoer.

The subtitles of the movie ended, the theme song “Future” stopped, and the main creators were interviewed.

“Supervisor Ito, I found that when you dealt with the plot of the movie, you almost completely followed the original story. Why didn’t you add your own ideas to the movie?”

A reporter from Neon’s most well-known movie magazine, “Movie Xunbao” asked Ito Shinsuke a question.

“That’s because the story of the original book is very mature and doesn’t need any extra things at all, so when the filming started, my only thought was how best to put the story on the big screen.”

After Nobusuke Ito finished speaking, he saw Hideki Hanyu who was sitting in the audience and did not intend to go on stage for an interview, and gave him a gesture of appreciation.

“Supervisor Ito’s first film was to direct a work that received a lot of attention, such as Love Home. Is there any pressure? Are you satisfied with the completion of the film?”

“There must be pressure, but everyone who knows me knows that Mr. Hanyu and I are very good friends in private. We communicated very well with this film from pre-shooting to post-production. Mr. Hanyu is still very concerned about the quality of the film. satisfied.”

“Supervisor Ito, do you have any special considerations for choosing an amateur to play this time?”

“It’s just that in the selection of professional actors in the early stage, no suitable candidate was found, so I chose an amateur to play the role. Now it seems that the effect is still good.”

……

As the film supervisor, Shinsuke Ito was naturally the main target of media reporters after the film ended.

However, the producer Shimadzu Kiyoshi and the participating actors were also asked questions.

Those who asked young actors basically asked if they wanted to continue to develop in the entertainment industry.

Nine-year-old Uncle Ya Ren said that he still has to go to school, and he will not consider developing in the entertainment industry for the time being.

After Miyazawa Rie was questioned, she had no chance to speak at all.

Because Mitsuko Miyazawa is already showing off, her daughter is already a signed actor of Yunying Pictures, and she will definitely appear in more works in the future.

Misako Konno, who was interviewed, also seemed as if nothing had happened, and said very modestly that it was her honor to be able to act in Hideki Hanyu’s work, and she would definitely cooperate if she had the opportunity in the future.

As for Hideki Hanyu, after seeing that most of the reporters’ feedback was positive, he left with Hirohashi Asako and others first.

The movie is released today, and now there is not much they can do, just wait for the follow-up box office to know the success or failure.

“Is Hanyu-san nervous?”

On the car going back, Yoshioka Shota asked Hanyu Hideki.

Hideki Hanyu shook his head, “Not nervous, because I have confidence in the quality of the movie. You should ask Asako-san about this, I think she is more nervous.”

“I’m really a little nervous. After all, this is our first film. Whether it can succeed will determine whether Cloud Picture can expand its business scope.”

Hirohashi Asako expressed her feelings unabashedly.

“Yes, the only thing that can be increased in advertising is the business volume. If we want to expand other advertising businesses, we must touch the interests of Dentsu and Hakuhodo. We can’t pin our lives and deaths on other people’s charity.”

Yoshioka Shota expressed his worries.

As the person in charge of the outreach of Yun On Pictures, he is very clear about the situation of Yun On Pictures.

Dentsu and Hakuhodo attach great importance to Yunyou Pictures, coupled with their excellent production capabilities and brand support, they are still in the honeymoon period of cooperation for the time being.

But with the development of Yunshang Painting getting better and better, the honeymoon period between each other will come to an end sooner or later.

At that time, either they will be incorporated by one of them, or they will be completely suppressed. Those two will never watch Yun Shang Pictures continue to grow.

Therefore, they must find new profit routes, and they cannot rely on advertising alone.

Looking at the two worried partners, Hideki Hanyu decided to cheer them up.

“Don’t worry, the production cost of Love Home is only 3000 million, and there is absolutely no problem in wanting to make a profit.”

As he spoke, he pointed to himself.

“Haven’t you guys forgotten that I am the author of Saint Seiya, as long as Love Home can make money, I dare to authorize the filming of Saint Seiya to Yunying Pictures.”

As soon as Hanyu Hideki said this, Hirohashi Asako and Yoshioka Shota’s eyes lit up.

They almost forgot that this big shareholder friend still holds a gold mine like “Saint Seiya”.
