National Tide 1980.

Chapter 1024
Although Tokyo is still that Tokyo.

But after a night of heavy rain with lightning and thunder, when the rain cleared the next day, everything was different.

On April 1986, 4, until noon, Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko were still lying on the bed like lovers who had just entered the period of passionate love.

Last night, they had a night of passion bordering on mania after they opened up to each other.

They were willing to take risks and made an exception and did not take protective measures.

Just like the two hearts they have been perfectly fitted together, there is no need for any barriers.

They were out of control, experienced joy several times in the labor pain and confusion, and talked about their long-term wish to grow old together.

But even after such a long time, Ning Weimin still didn't want to get up when he woke up naturally.

He lazily grabbed Matsumoto Keiko, not even wanting her to get up.

"Is it almost time for dinner? I'm going to the kitchen."

"Are you hungry? Stay a little longer."

"Fool, I'm worried about your body."

Matsumoto Keiko caressed Ning Weimin's face dotingly, like treating a child.

But such enjoyment made him even more unwilling to let go.

"No, I'm not hungry at all, I just want to hug you and my future wife more."

What is one thing down one thing, some tofu in brine?
Matsumoto Keiko can show no pretense to any man, but the only thing she can't refuse is Ning Weimin's sweet words.

"Then... Just hold it like this. When are you hungry, I'll go to the kitchen again."

Just like that, the two of them were sweet and greasy, like newlyweds on a wedding trip, spending another half an hour on the bed.

As for the crisis that they are still deeply involved in the turmoil of public opinion, they must be resolved as soon as possible.

And those villains who continue to frame and slander Keiko Matsumoto in an attempt to coerce them behind the scenes.

All of them have become bad things that they don't want to be remembered or mentioned at this time, and they have all thrown them into the back of their minds with a tacit understanding.

For the two of them now, only feelings are the most important, and everything else is superfluous existence that spoils the scenery.

Even how much wealth Ning Weimin has hidden, how much power he possesses, and what method he plans to use to help Matsumoto Keiko are also unimportant.

None of them have the heart to think carefully or discuss these practical issues.

What they care about is the surprise that the two of them are connected with each other, and they are destined to achieve a positive result.

The expectation of being able to hold hands with each other in this life, achieve each other, and leave a beautiful memory of life.

And under this premise, all difficulties are out of the question.

What about even the worst outcome?
Nothing more than a catastrophe, the world is not there.

Anyway, if they own each other, they own the whole world, even death is happy.

This is love that is enough to make people forget reality and foolishly bubbling.

How about you say it all, does love lower your intelligence?
But this is what everyone desires the most.

What I want is that I can't extricate myself, I can't help myself, and only when I meet someone who is worthy of my vigorous love once, can I live this life in vain.

In fact, it wasn't until the two of them finally exhausted their interest in staying in bed, and had a tasteless lunch in the gratification and affection of each other.

Only then did they regain their senses and began to think of the reality of the predicament, thinking that they could no longer turn a blind eye to it or ignore it.

Since what is coming will always come, we have to discuss it and deal with it calmly.

Ning Weimin spoke first.

But what he once thought was in his grasp, but now he is afraid of losing it.

So before the real discussion, he still didn't forget to ask the last question, the thing he felt most guilty about.

"Qingzi, I haven't told you so many things, are you really not angry with me? Don't you mind?"

"it does not matter."

Matsumoto Keiko was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that Ning Weimin was still obsessed with this matter, and unexpectedly brought up the old matter again.

"I said it yesterday, and I can understand it. You start a business in a foreign country by yourself. Although you have rich assets, you still need to be careful in everything. There must be fear and vigilance. Besides, my work matters , and there are also many things that I haven't told you. Are you going to be angry about it?"

"That's different. You didn't tell me when you were wronged, because you were afraid that I would worry about you. And I'm very selfish. I don't tell you, but it's just to...to let you...care about me and take care of me. Although It's not a malicious deception, but...but it's still not honest enough...don't you think I'm a little dishonest, don't you feel wronged for your own sacrifices?"

Matsumoto Keiko smiled brightly. "how could be?"

She was already beautiful when she smiled, revealing gentleness and purity.

Now there is no worry, and there is more cheerfulness in the smile, just like the sun shining.

"It really doesn't matter. Because I also like to take care of you. After all, I am much older than you, just like a sister, right? It can make you feel happy, but I am also very happy. Just like you never coveted I didn't do anything to me, and I didn't think that I would pay you back."

Saying that, Matsumoto Keiko grabbed Ning Weimin's hand, showing a distressed expression.

"To be honest, I have always thought that you, Amin, are more mature than your peers. But sometimes when I think about it, I feel that you are a little pitiful. I have no parents since I was a child, and I live alone. Everything depends on myself, and I have eaten a lot. Bitter? Do you feel lonely?"

"If you don't tell me, I know it too. If you want to succeed, you have to suffer. Although it's amazing that you can make such a big career by yourself, the greater the success, the greater the price. I always think it's God's will Let us meet. From now on, let me accompany you, take care of you, and compensate you for life."

Such words almost reached Ning Weimin's heart, and he felt sour in the warmth.

But he is a man, although he is useful, he is also said to be a bit shy.

"Don't say that, Qingzi, you are too kind. Don't always think about me, you will have a hard time."

However, Matsumoto Keiko shook his head vigorously again and again.

She burst out with emotion, her hands trembled slightly, her voice choked up and she said something that moved Ning Weimin even more.

"No. You don't know how important you are to me. I was already numb to life and disappointed. It's only because I met you that I can feel the fullness of life again, a feeling I haven't had in a long time. I don’t know how much courage I will add if you are by my side. But if you leave me, I will fall into despair and my life will be completely destroyed. Do you understand? Can you understand my feelings? For you, I am actually There is only one request. I hope you must remember that we will always be the support of each other's hearts in the future. Okay?"

At this moment in Ning Weimin's heart, Matsumoto Keiko seemed to be standing in the light, smiling like a virgin, and opened his arms to him...

He simply felt that he had become the luckiest man in the world, with a spiritual support and the courage and motivation to continue to forge ahead.

He couldn't help lowering his head, took Matsumoto Keiko's hand and kissed it lightly.

He said solemnly, "I promise you. But because of this...it's time for me to pamper you. Do you know what I think? I want to turn you into a noble queen, and let those who offend you We all kneel down for you, too late to regret."

This may sound like an exaggeration, but since Ning Weimin can say such a thing to Matsumoto Keiko, then he is by no means just talking.

Because he has made a decision to solve Matsumoto Keiko's troubles, and he will spend a lot of money.

The reason is also very simple. He thinks that those rumors and slanderous attacks dare to target Matsumoto Keiko.

Apart from being mediocre without being envied by others, a beauty like Matsumoto Keiko will inevitably have ghosts and ghosts behind her.

And once the number of these bad guys and maliciousness reaches a certain level, they will always explode in a concentrated manner.

More importantly, no matter how famous Matsumoto Keiko is, she is only a movie star—a tool person who makes money for capital and is controlled by capital.

In the entertainment world, don't look at her level has reached the ceiling among actresses, only relying on personal struggle can reach the ceiling.

But in front of the real big shots, the level is still not enough.

Not to mention film companies, big bosses of various media, even in the face of directors, producers, and even top male stars, they are still on the weak side.

Then she has to endure some things in the circle, and it will make some people who are interested in her not have too many scruples.

Then how can the medicine cure the disease?
If you want to cure it, of course the most effective idea is to simply let Matsumoto Keiko become a member of the capital.

Matsumoto Keiko has everything, regardless of qualifications, experience, fame, or connections. The only thing she lacks is money.

As long as she wants, she can set up her own film company at any time, and there will be no shortage of shooting resources and theaters for release.

For example, during the public opinion turmoil of "The Man in the House of Fire", the president of Shochiku Pictures favored the director Kinji Fukasaku because of the relationship of interest.

This can only be said to be a choice forced by the nature of a businessman. He is afraid of losing his money, not an emotional tendency.

After all, he didn't really try to oppress Matsumoto Keiko, but just persuaded her to make peace, wanting to calm things down.

The reverse is also the same, he has no grudge against money, if Matsumoto Keiko can give him greater benefits, of course he will join the team again.

Therefore, if Matsumoto Keiko became the boss of the film company herself, and then reached a cooperative relationship with Shochiku, it would be tantamount to breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly.

Life forms are completely different.

Not only was she liberated herself, she no longer had to worry about not having a job.

She can decide what to shoot and how to shoot, and she can also give resources and opportunities to others.

From now on, her right to speak in the Japanese entertainment industry will naturally be different, almost like she has lost the shackles above her head.

Who would dare to bully her casually?How dare you show her face?

If there are people like that coming out, Boi is really a fool, just full of food.

Conversely, those who have offended her before will inevitably have to worry about it from now on.

I will definitely think about it carefully, whether the dirty things they have done are worth it, and worry that I will be liquidated one day.

Scared and scared their guts.

So after careful consideration, Ning Weimin's game for Keiko Matsumoto was to follow the example of the famous Japanese male star Toshiro Mifune and set up his own studio.

However, the difference is that Ning Weimin didn't plan to make small troubles and develop insignificantly from the very beginning, but wanted to make a big splash and shake the world.

Just shoot big movies.

"You have your own personal office, right? Well, it's convenient. A basic structure is there, that is, changing the cost, which is equivalent to upgrading your office. Substantial business can be carried out. If there are not enough people, you can add them later. As for the funds, that is the most important issue. Let me see, I will find a way for you to raise a billion. It should be enough to make a movie for the time being Right? Some time ago, you made "The Man in the Fire House" a big production, right? It was a budget of [-] million, right? Too little, and you feel wronged when you make a movie. Too much, it seems that it is not necessary. On the contrary It also provokes others to think about your source of funds for no reason, and if you don’t make it right, additional troubles will arise. This number should be just right, right?”

When it came to business, Ning Weimin gradually calmed down, and he patiently told Matsumoto Keiko, so that he could make a long speech.

But even so, when he throws money, he invests one billion yen, which is too big.

Matsumoto Keiko didn't know whether to be surprised or happy.

For nothing else, the bottom line of the top ten box office movies in Japan every year is almost a red line drawn in billions of yen.

If you really spend such a large amount of money to make a movie, you will definitely not be able to recover the investment. It would be a blood loss, and a big factory like Shochiku would not do such a thing.

What's more, such a charismatic big name like Toshiro Mifune.

Even if his personal studio was very prosperous back then, with many famous actors under his name, one or two of his films must be included in the top ten works at the box office in Japan every year.

But in the end, it is still inevitable that the funds will be cut off, the debt will be high, and the studio will go bankrupt.

What does this mean?
It can only show that spending money to make movies is a very risky investment.

After thinking about it, Keiko Matsumoto was always worried.

He gazed at Ning Weimin like a mother gazes at a child, and persuaded him like a mother advises a child.

"Actually, it doesn't cost that much money. Movies don't necessarily mean that the more money you spend on filming, the higher the final box office. It's hard to say this kind of thing. I'm afraid that if the box office is not ideal, such a large investment, It will affect your career again. It will cause you an unmanageable situation. So why don't we make one or two films with a lower budget first? This way the risk is less. If a film with an investment of [-] to [-] million yuan, I may be able to do it myself Come out. Besides, I should retire after marriage. If you just want to protect me and vent my anger, it seems that there is really no need..."

"don’t worry."

But Ning Weimin showed his stubbornness. He said confidently, "Qingzi, don't blame me for interrupting you. The main reason is that the things you worry about are completely unnecessary."

"First of all, it's not that I think making movies is easy, but you think that I am simple. Although I am an amateur in making movies, I am an expert in business. I have this confidence. If you make a film with one billion yen Movies, as long as half of the box office can be recovered. Because I have other ways to realize cash, I will not lose money after all. I didn’t mention this kind of thing to you in the past, but I thought it was a bit slow to make money. For a while. Don't be so unconfident in me. As for money, you just need to trust me and leave it to me."

"Secondly, a movie with a large investment must be made, and your film company must be established. This is not because I am willful and reckless. On the contrary, it is because I have calculated that doing so will be the most profitable. Especially for you in the arts In terms of the situation in the world, it is absolutely necessary and has practical significance. If you are a little better than others, others will envy you, slander you, and hurt you. But when you are much better than others, those people will respect you , adore you, please you. This is human nature."

"The last point, even if we get married, you don't have to be a housewife. I have to say that gender inequality is a real thing in Japan. In fact, no one stipulates that women cannot have their own careers. I marry you It's not for you to be my full-time nanny, working hard for my food and daily life every day."

"On the contrary, Qingzi, I married you because I love you, so as a husband who loves his wife, I should give you as many choices as possible. I hope you can live as happy as you can. Beautiful like you A woman should live the life you want to live, wear the clothes you want to wear, shoot the movies you want to make, see the scenery you want to see, and lose your temper. Even if you are really willing to give up your career and go to family Housewife, it must be a choice you make for your own happiness, not just a sacrifice for me."

Ning Weimin stared at his lover incomparably great, paused for a while, and gave the final conclusion.

"So, let's settle this matter. President Matsumoto. There are only two things that we should discuss carefully next. One is to choose a good script, and we have to plan what story we plan to shoot? Two In order to quell the storm of public opinion as soon as possible, we need to hold a press conference as soon as possible. It is also necessary to inform the reporters of the breaking news that can surprise them. Because only in this way is the best way to divert the attention of the media and quell the current bad public opinion. good idea."

As for Ning Weimin's arrangements, this time Keiko Matsumoto was really impressed.

Being moved, but also with admiration and joy.

A woman is a woman, no matter how much she likes to take care of others, she still likes to be pampered by others.

Having a capable man to rely on is the greatest happiness.
