Akira Kurosawa looked serious.

Iwata Takeshi smiled slightly, his expression... so scary.

"Martin, the great director, is interested in "The Infernal Affairs", so I will make a movie that is still an undercover agent, but the undercover agent in this movie, his main prop is a car, a very fast car... "

As Kurosawa listened, a smile slowly appeared on his face.

Takeshi Iwata is really good!

Movies consume popcorn, and the idea of the movie he talked about.

Definitely going to make a special consumption of popcorn.

till the end……

"I want to call this movie "Fast and Furious"!"

……

Chapter 216 Less than 20 days, 33 billion breakthrough!

Regarding "Fast and Furious", Takeshi Iwata actually spoke in English.

And the name of this movie is the part of 'passion'. In fact, it means 'furious' in English, and the root word is 'fury'.

Therefore, the style of this movie can be imagined.

The old man liked it very much and was very happy.

Kurosawa could feel that Takeshi Iwata was really different from many young filmmakers.

In fact, many young filmmakers in this era, especially directors or screenwriters, mostly have a strong literary atmosphere.

Maybe it's not a literary youth disease, but after all, people who make movies always have a little bit of it.

This is not a problem in itself, but at some point it will go wrong.

For example, in a place like Hollywood, what do you see?

Just look at the box office!

Indeed, Hollywood has also produced many literary films, many of which are very classic.

However, as far as big companies are concerned, they don't care whether they are literary or not, they only care about whether they can sell tickets.

Therefore, Takeshi Iwata directly proposed the idea of a very, very popcorn movie.

In fact, Akira Kurosawa was still a little worried.

As for the currently released "A Little Thing of Love", if you take a closer look and think about it.

Although, on the surface, this is a very funny and touching movie, but it also has a very good literary style.

Even if the male lead is a Yakuza, who said Yakuza can't be literary?

And right now, Teacher Akira Kurosawa said...

Splashy!

Great money, go to Hollywood!

However, this movie "Fast and Furious", of course, has to be considered in the long run.

Takeshi Iwata's side is just an idea, and no real script has come out, plus some procedural problems in Hollywood.

Filming over there is actually quite slow.

Of course, it’s okay if you want it fast, but you have to pay more.

Takeshi Iwata still has a lot of things to do in Japan at present, and his plan to invest overseas, as well as other businesses, the most important one is in mainland China.

So, he left from Mr. Kurosawa and went back to find Marco and Thierry.

Just told them the idea of "Fast and Furious", and then...

"Brilliant! This is a genius idea!"

"This movie can also be matched with Martin's film!"

The two guys, Marco and Thierry, were very happy.

As for the script, you, Director Iwata, will write it slowly. When it is finished, contact us when it is finished, and then discuss it with Universal.

Probably, almost certainly, there will be no problem.

Anyway, according to these two guys, Takeshi Iwata is almost equal now, and he can pick a star on Hollywood Boulevard to play.

Takeshi Iwata just smiled, he probably understood that the main goal of these two guys was still the "Infernal Affairs".

As well as the North American distribution business of several films I shot. Naturally, this business is the business of video tapes. It is still very difficult to really go to theaters.

Moreover, even if it is released, it probably doesn't mean much. It is still too difficult for Asian movies to sell well in North America.

So and so, hello everyone, we had a very good chat.

Two international film losers, very happy, there is a high probability that they will continue to gang up on crimes.

Takeshi Iwata summed up:

You just wait for me, when this "Fast and Furious" is released, it will definitely be called a knife to pull your ass, open your eyes!

……

December, as far as movie schedules are concerned, is definitely the last important schedule of the year.

However, as far as the overall situation is concerned, it is still not as good as the summer file.

After the release of "This Little Thing of Love", the results achieved in the first week are already very amazing.

Inside the Takarazuka Building, people came and went, and it was very lively.

It seems that everyone has a job to do, but in fact, most of them are just pretending.

Seeing this, Shimadani didn't take it seriously, after all, the current overall situation is still very good.

And, on an economic level, things are different now.

During the boom years in Japan, employees were employed for life.

Those big companies are really powerful, really awesome, rich, rich enough!

But right now, even some banks are failing, let alone big companies.

The myth of not firing is busted.

Well, in fact, this kind of thing has happened before, but it has never been like this.

In a crisis, the most fearful thing is panic.

Shimadani looked at the people in front of him, and he understood what everyone's inner state was like.

They have to show that feeling of being needed, that kind of hard work, and they don't want to be laid off by the company.

Dongbao is still good so far, but who knows if it will be his turn tomorrow?

in this way……

"Shimatani-san! The latest box office flash report is here!"

"Is it the latest?"

The assistant came over and handed over a stack of faxed data.

The fax machine is a good thing, uh huh, keep using it.

In fact, he only needs to take out a piece of paper, but sending it up like this shows that he is very rigorous, and also tells the boss that his work is quite strenuous.

Shimadani has a clear understanding of this kind of careful thinking, forget it, let's read this flash report.

Dongbao's own theater chain, plus Shochiku and other theater chains, the effect of helping to chop this time is very good, even Shochiku joined in, and this week...

"Everyone stop what you are doing!"

Shimadani came to the very center of Dongbao's office area, and held up the stack of reports with great momentum.

Everyone was attracted by him. Everyone pretended to be working hard, but they stopped temporarily.

Look at this reformist elite.

""A Little Thing About Love" took another 10 billion yen in box office in the second week! It's only down by less than 20% from the previous week!"

As soon as the news came out, even the most ignorant people knew what to do.

"Splashy!"

"Siguoyi!"

"oh oh!"

In a sense, the current scene is not much better than Iwata Yinghua.

It seems that the Japanese really like the word Si Guoyi.

But, indeed, this is good news.

But such good news, is it over?

"Oh..." Shimadani let out a long sigh.

what's the situation?

Isn't it good news?

According to the normal movie box office, "A Little Thing of Love" has only been released for nine days, and it has broken through 20 billion so quickly. The current total box office is already 22 billion, and the media will write a ration of 11 billion.

Definitely a very powerful result.

Could it be that Shimadani-san is still not satisfied?

Just when everyone was extremely curious, Shimadani said with a worried face:

"Universal Films in Hollywood is very optimistic about Director Iwata. That is to say, the movies of Director Iwata may be Hollywood movies in the future. For this movie... oh, I didn't say anything, everyone can continue to work."

Didn't say anything?

Of course, Shimadani already knew about Takeshi Iwata's going to Hollywood.

Although Marco and Thierry were the first to look for Takeshi Iwata, of course they had to talk to Dongbao, and naturally they had to talk to Shimadani.

Shimadani kept his eyes open and announced the matter without any haste.

And now, he actually did it.

What do you mean?

No, there must be tricks in it!

When Shanuchi learned about this, he...

not good!That bastard Shimaya got the upper hand!

……

In mid-December of 1990, it seemed that there was not much difference from previous years.

Except it has been determined that the economic bubble is bursting.

The others are about the same.

Little days or something, live it if you can.

But at this moment, many media seem to not want everyone to live a stable life.
