Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2932 Pathfinding or digging?

The current Shigeru Okada was shocked by Maekawa Kiyonore's thoughts and drive, he did not expect that he would really dare to do this.

While Okada Shigeru was still in shock, Lin Daoqiu suddenly turned to look at him and asked.

"President Okada, are you interested?"

"what?"

Okada Mao, who was asked by Lin Daoqiu, immediately came back to his senses, and then looked at Lin Daoqiu with a panicked look.

"President Maekawa plans to go to Hollywood to participate in the promotion of "Onmyoji", and plans to promote Shochiku's movies to Hollywood. Are you interested in participating?"

"Would you like to participate? Well... I would like to go too, but there are too many things happening in Toei recently, so I can't do anything at all, so I can only regret it."

Although Shigeru Okada admires Kiyoshi Maekawa's ideas and ability to act, he does not intend to go to Hollywood to do these things like the other party. At least so far, Kiyoshi Maekawa will not act until Kiyoshi Maekawa has made achievements. After all, he would not do such thankless things.

If Kiyoshi Maekawa really made some achievements by that time, it goes without saying that Shigeru Okada would participate in it at that time. The premise is that getting the movie released in Hollywood can really make a lot of money, otherwise it will take too much time and energy. , If you don't earn anything by then, it will be too nonsense.

"Is that so? That's a pity."

Lin Daoqiu saw Okada Shigeru's thoughts at a glance. Judging from his reaction, it can be said that he was not optimistic about Kiyonori Maekawa's trip to Hollywood. Movies that don't like Shochiku are popular in North America.

Maekawa Kiyoshi is not a fool either, he saw Shigeru Okada's reaction, but he didn't say anything, after all, if you don't do this kind of thing, you will never know what the result will be, even if you can't get anything in the end But at least he had tried.

Lin Daoqiu didn't chat with Maekawa Kiyonori and Okada Shigeru for too long, and the two left soon.

After going downstairs, Shigeru Okada did not get in his own car, but took the initiative to sit in the back seat of Kiyonori Maekawa's car.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Maekawa Kiyoshi looked at Shigeru Okada who sat in with a puzzled expression on his face. He didn't understand what the other party was doing at this time.

"Are you really going to Hollywood?"

"Yeah, weren't you there just now? Don't you think I'm going to deceive Mr. Lin?"

Qian Chuanqing felt that Shigeru Okada asked this question too much, and he would not use this kind of thing to deceive Lin Daoqiu, after all, he is not an idiot.

"You really plan to take Shochiku's film to Hollywood? Do you think there will be any profit from it?"

Shigeru Okada was curious about why Kiyoshi Maekawa had such an idea. Before that, Shochiku and Toei were only focused on the local market. Even Toho, a behemoth of neon movies, rarely set foot in Hollywood. They were all only focusing on the local area of ​​Neon, but Maekawa Kiyoza suddenly had such an idea at this time. Shigeru Okada knew that it must have something to do with Lin Daoqiu.

"I don't know if there is any profit after doing it. What's the matter? Is President Okada also interested?"

Maekawa Kiyoshi looked at Shigeru Okada and smiled. He knew that Shigeru Okada was definitely interested in this, but he didn't want to spend too much time and energy on it. If he could save some effort, he would naturally be happy. But if he is asked to start from scratch, then obviously Shigeru Okada will not and will not do these things.

"There are a lot of things going on in Toei recently. If it weren't for this, I would really like to go to Hollywood with you and try it out."

Not to mention Maekawa Kiyonori, even Okada Shigeru himself doesn’t believe this kind of talk, but the problem is that he can’t do otherwise. You can’t tell Maekawa Kiyonori that you should go and do all the preliminary tasks that should be done first. It will be a lot easier if I go after you are done, right?

"Since this is the case, it would be a pity. Originally, I wanted to invite you to go with me. After all, the cooperation between the two companies is much stronger than the strength of one family, and you can also choose from the two movie libraries that are more suitable for North America. Movies showing."

Shigeru Okada was a little moved by Maekawa Kiyosori's words, but he still insisted on letting the other party contribute first and then pick the peaches.

"Yes, but unfortunately the actual conditions do not allow it. It is really a pity."

Hearing Shigeru Okada say that Kiyoshi Maekawa didn't continue to force the other party, it's fine if he doesn't want to, Kiyoshi Maekawa didn't think that he must let Shigeru Okada go with him, it's fine if he wants to, it's okay if he doesn't want to, Anyway, before this trip to Hollywood, Chuanqing must have made something, otherwise he would have missed this golden opportunity too much.

You must know that if neon movies are going to become a hit in Hollywood, Kiyonori Maekawa, Shigeru Okada and even other filmmakers have never even had such fantasies before that, even if "Godzilla" is popular all over the world. After the explosion, they didn't have such an idea.

After all, it is a monster-themed movie, which is actually a sci-fi movie. That kind of theme has nothing to do with the local culture of Neon. Applying the plot of "Godzilla" to any other country in the world It's all totally doable.

But "Onmyoji" is different. This is a purely traditional neon movie. The history is selected from the Heian era of neon. The character settings and characteristics in it are all the existence of neon people themselves. In the eyes of Kiyono Maekawa and Shigeru Okada, movies are truly the purest neon movies, and they are also the movies that best represent neon.

If "Onmyoji" really caused a sensation in North America, those North Americans who didn't have much interest in neon movies and culture before should become interested in neon movies, and the neon movies released in the future will definitely be popular This wave of benefits, it can be said that Maekawa Kiyozo's calculations are very loud.

He believes that Shigeru Okada should also know, but the other party is too shrewd, but Kiyoshi Maekawa is not a fool, and Shigeru Okada's shrewdness can indeed take advantage of some benefits, but sometimes this way of taking advantage of small advantages is actually not a good thing, Lin Dao Qiu Ke saw it all, and when it was time to share the cake, Shigeru Okada would regret what he did at this time, and Kiyoshi Maekawa firmly believed in this.

"Since this is the case, it is really a pity. I will explore the way first. No matter what the result is, at least I can bring back some experience. In the future, maybe we don't have to rely on Lin Daoqiu and rely on ourselves."

It sounds like Kiyonori Maekawa has a lot of ambitions, but these are just fooling Shigeru Okada. He himself does not believe that it is possible to succeed in Hollywood without cooperating with Lin Daoqiu.
