Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era
Chapter 366
Chapter 366
If it is said that the announcement of Pokeball C, a color handheld console by Elf Entertainment, made people at Bandai and Nintendo panic.
When Satoru Iwata revealed the prices of the two consoles, people at Bandai and Nintendo felt nothing but despair.
One of them was involved in the entire development and pricing of the WS handheld console.
Therefore, it can be easily judged that the production cost of Elf Entertainment's Pokeball C handheld console is lower than that of the WS handheld console due to its huge production volume.
It can be sold for 12999 yen and it is absolutely impossible to make a profit.
There is even a high possibility of losses.
But Elf Entertainment just priced it like this.
If Nintendo and Bandai bring the price of the WS color handheld console to the same level as the basic version of the Pokeball 2 handheld console and want to compete in a price war through differentiation.
The pricing that Elf Entertainment has set for the two upgraded handheld consoles at this time can be described as "losing money and making money".
Can Nintendo and Bandai continue to follow up with price cuts?
In theory it is possible.
But in practice it is very difficult.
First of all, the Wonders Swan handheld console is a product of cooperation between the two companies.
Problems will arise when cooperating within a club.
What's more, they are two completely different interests that have even had business competition before.
From R&D to production.
From testing to pricing.
The dispute between Bandai and Nintendo has never stopped.
If it weren't for the formidable enemy of Elf Entertainment, the two companies might not be able to complete their cooperation at all.
that's it.
The retail price finally determined can only be said to be the cost price for the two clubs, and it has not reached the level of loss.
If sales are good and production can be further increased.
Coupled with overseas production and a series of impacts from the appreciation of the yen, some profits will definitely be generated.
We are already going to start a price war, but we still have to consider profitability.
Looking deeper into the reason, it still has something to do with this being a collaboration.
It is easy to say that it is a price war at a loss.
Such as Elf Entertainment.
Although Hideki Hanyu rarely participates in management, he usually spends time in three game studios when he goes to the club.
But in the final analysis, Elf Entertainment is still Hanyu Hideki's one-word hall.
Not to mention losing money, even if he decides to give away products for free, he can still enforce it.
But Nintendo is different. Nintendo is a listed company and must be accountable to shareholders and the board of directors.
Coupled with the failure of the America strategy, the local market was eroded by the PS console.
Even if Nintendo is willing to sell at a loss, it will be difficult to convince its own family.
As a result, there is now another partner to convince, which makes it even more difficult.
What's more, Bandai doesn't want to lose money.
After all, Bandai is a "layman" in the gaming industry.
It is difficult for them to accept the strategy of making no profit in the early stage and making money again by occupying the market.
The most important thing is that Bandai has been seeking to go public these years.
This year, the Neon Securities market is in great shape.
Bandai finally saw the hope of becoming Neon's first listed toy company.
How could it be possible to engage in a price war at a loss at such a critical moment, which would ultimately add risks to the listing?
To put it sadly for Nintendo, the Wonders Swan handheld console can fail, but Bandai's launch must not allow for mistakes.
Based on the above situation.
The two staff members who came to the scene to inquire about information understood.
Even though Elf Entertainment counterattacked so fiercely on price.
But in a short period of time, Bandai and Nintendo were simply unable to follow up.
At the main booth at this time, Satoru Iwata announced the prices of the two handheld consoles.
There was no pause and it went directly to the next stage of the press conference.
This is different from Nintendo, which is trying to compete for the market with WS handheld consoles and [-]-bit consoles.
Elf Entertainment has too many products at its disposal.
For example, next, Satoru Iwata began to introduce the upgraded models of PS consoles without increasing the price.
While other manufacturers are still having headaches in developing [-]-bit consoles, Elf Entertainment has already launched an upgraded model.
Of course, compared to handheld consoles, there is not much difference between the upgraded model and the old model.
It is also fully compatible with the original game.
After a brief introduction by Satoru Iwata, he entered the next stage.
Genie Entertainment is about to launch new games on handhelds, consoles, and arcades.
There are sequels to previous old games, and there are also new games like "Tornado".
That’s compared to Nintendo, which only released three new games.
The games of Elf Entertainment are all top-notch in terms of type and quantity.
At the end, it is the theme of this Tokyo Electric Power Exhibition.
A second-generation shooting interactive game developed based on the EGP arcade platform.
Under the booth, many players were invited to the stage to experience a space fighter that could rotate 360 degrees, or a huge tank that galloped through the jungle and hunted monsters.
Relying on the promotion of leasing services and a flexible agent system.
Genie Entertainment EGP Arcade’s dominance in the world of arcade games is more exaggerated and stable than its dominance in handheld and console games.
Let’s put it this way, there are still manufacturers that can compete with Elf Entertainment in the field of handheld and console games.
In the field of arcade machines, most manufacturers have given up struggling.
Either they actively integrate into the EGP arcade platform, they silently devour those market segments that EGP arcades don’t want, or they directly block EGP from self-operated arcade stores.
But the problem is that as EGP occupies an increasing market share.
If those third-party arcade game developers want to survive, they can only join the EGP platform.
In the absence of game support, blindly shutting out EGP arcades will also shut out players.
This approach is destined not to last long.
However, Hideki Hanyu heard that SNK has not given up on developing new arcade machines.
But I didn’t see it at the booth.
Tomorrow is SNK's press conference. I don't know if it will be announced tomorrow.
But now EGP arcade has become a trend.
There are a lot of agents tied up all over the world.
The market advantage is hard to shake.
SNK launches a new arcade machine at this time, which is undoubtedly challenging the difficulty of hell.
Since Elf Entertainment has many products, the introduction time is very long.
During this period, it did not disappoint those players who queued up overnight, and issued witness badges for this year’s Tokyo Electric Power Show.
Every year, the witness badge of the Tokyo Electric Power Show will fit in with the theme of Elf Entertainment’s press conference.
Because the main focus this year is product upgrades.
Therefore, the badge design should also try to move closer to the direction of technology.
The small badge shows the outline of the Pokeball handheld machine.
On the metal base, lines similar to circuit boards are used to form an Elf Entertainment LOGO pattern.
Give the entire LOGO a unique sense of electronic technology.
The outside is covered with transparent material and is slightly curved.
When viewed by the owner of the badge, the pattern is slightly enlarged.
On the back of the badge, there is also the abbreviation of the Tokyo Electric Power Exhibition with the session number, as well as a unique digital code.
Except this witness badge.
Companion medals will also be randomly drawn.
The shape of this badge is more cute. It is a flame on the tail of a small fire dragon, which turns into the pattern of the Tokyo Electric Power Exhibition LOGO.
Although the companion badge will only be issued at the Tokyo Electric Power Exhibition.
But in addition to the press conference at the main booth, you can also get it by participating in events at the booth.
The press conference progressed to the later stage.
Seeing that Satoru Iwata hosted the event in a good manner, Hanyu Hideki quietly walked down the main booth and handed the booth to Satoru Iwata.
Since he decided to trust the other party, he would not interfere easily.
Unless certain decisions of the other party will go against the general trend of future market development.
As soon as he stepped off the stage, Kusamura Junchu came up with a smile and said, "President, the response from the players seems to be very enthusiastic."
Next to him, former Yuan Zhensheng interrupted.
“To sell a console at these two prices, we have to pay at least 900 yen. Based on the current global sales of 20 million units, we will lose nearly [-] billion.
And in order to compensate for consumers who bought older handheld models, more than 20 billion yen in coupons will be issued.
In this situation, it would be strange if the players were unhappy. "
"Look at your stingy look. The president has already said that you should take a long-term view..."
"I just told the facts, and I didn't question the president's decision."
……
Seeing these two senior executives with hundreds of millions in income quarreling in front of him again, Hideki Hanyu interrupted helplessly.
"Okay, if you have time to argue here, why not think about how to do the next sales.
Losing money is not the point. The point is that the money lost must be meaningful. We must suppress the sales of WS handheld consoles from the beginning.
For this purpose, the sales department must have a complete marketing plan, including overseas areas.
It doesn't matter if you lose money, various promotions must be stepped up, and the WS handheld must not be given any chance. "
In Hanyu Hideki's view, let alone a compensation of 40 billion yen, as long as he can kill the WS handheld console and consolidate Genie Entertainment's dominance in the handheld field, he will accept even a further 40 billion yen compensation.
Market share is maintained, and all third-party game developers must continue to be bound to Genie Entertainment.
In this case, other manufacturers cannot come forward, and ten 40 billion can be earned back.
When Hanyu Hideki said this, Maemoto Shino quickly replied, "Yes, President, I will organize the sales department to formulate a marketing plan now."
"Go ahead and communicate with Iwata-san at any time, especially with the America branch."
Hideki Hanyu emphasized emphatically.
As a time traveler, the biggest advantage is that you can learn from many failure cases, summarize the reasons, and avoid them in advance.
In another time and space, Sega's MD console and peripherals were clearly selling well in America and were very popular among players.
However, for the next-generation console "Saturn", Neon Sega headquarters forced the promotion of the new-generation console regardless of the objections of American sellers, and then stopped the replenishment of MD.
As a result, not only did Saturn fail to succeed, but it also lost the advantages that the MD console had finally created.
Since then, Sega has never been able to achieve the same success as the MD console.
Therefore, when the headquarters makes a plan, it must not just do it on the head, especially if it is forcibly promoted to the branches.
Satoru Iwata has stayed in America for more than two years and has an in-depth understanding of the market conditions in Europe and the United States.
With the other party doing the final check, Hanyu Hideki can feel more at ease.
After Qian Yuan Zhensheng left.
Kusamura Junchu also said goodbye to Hanyu Hideki and left.
The person in charge of the production department has been extremely busy recently.
We must follow Hanyu Hideki's instructions and go against the trend to recruit workers in Neon.
To manage elf factories distributed throughout Asia.
We also need to cooperate with Kitahara Eri to divide the surrounding production plants.
After attending the Tokyo Electric Power Exhibition this time, I am leaving for Singapore again.
In short, I have never been able to relax.
After the two left, Hideki Hanyu waited backstage until Satoru Iwata finished the press conference, congratulated him, and then left the Tokyo Electric Show.
After today, his trip to the Tokyo Electric Power Show has come to an end.
If there is nothing serious, he will not come again.
Seeing the time is still early.
Hideki Hanyu decided to visit NHK’s filming base.
Now Yunnan Pictures' first special feature drama "Armor Warrior" is being filmed here.
Previously, Hirohashi Asako said that if he wanted to know the specific conditions of action scene shooting, he needed to go to the scene to see it.
After driving his off-road vehicle to the filming base, he was led by employees to an urban set and saw "Armor Warrior" being filmed.
In order not to affect the shooting, he just watched from a distance.
Although it is an imitation of the works of later generations, it is in order to adapt to different cultures.
Hideki Hanyu simply gave a general framework for the work.
The specific stories are all filled in by the Yunying Animation Screenwriting Department.
Therefore, this film "Armor Warrior" actually has nothing to do with the later film.
But in order to take care of the game and surrounding promotion.
The shooting style is the same as that of later generations. The "exaggeration" is very obvious, that is, no matter what the ability, the moves must have a cool name and equipment.
Then when you make a move, be sure to shout it loudly.
It has to be said that when filming this kind of work, actors need to be supported by a strong sense of belief.
Armored Warriors requires many actors.
Although there are many actors signed by Elf Entertainment, most of them are not suitable to participate in the show.
Or maybe it's so popular that there's no need to participate in a tokusatsu drama.
The only people who actually joined the cast were Kazami Shingo, who liked guest villains, and Karasawa Yusei and Tateishi Ryota, who played the protagonists.
As for other protagonists and important roles, most of them will be assigned to artists from companies with which they have cooperative relationships.
Some unimportant supporting roles will be left to the trainees at the training base for acting training.
However, those who have not debuted until now basically have no talent.
It would be nice to finally have a recurring role in a tokusatsu drama.
Hanyu Hideki came here this time, of course, not to see who is the protagonist.
But to see if the action scenes have improved with the help of Xiangjiang's action director.
Soon, he saw the filming of action scenes.
I saw a rough-looking man directing the actors' movements in Mandarin with the help of a translator.
The other party is obviously a veteran in action design.
No one designed the action scenes according to the shooting habits of Xiangjiang action movies. Instead, he designed moves that fit the plot according to local conditions.
It's simple and distinctive, and has a bit of a "cool" feel.
And just after the action director took over the shooting of the action scenes.
The crew supervisor who had his hands free quickly came over to say hello to Hideki Hanyu.
This supervisor named Onoda Ping is not a direct descendant of Yunying Animation.
But after he decided to shoot a tokusatsu drama, he was seconded from Tsuburaya.
Although he is not a great director, he has unique experience in shooting tokusatsu dramas, which helped Yunying Pictures get through the early days of lack of experience.
After saying hello, Hanyu Hideki asked Onodahei, "How is the filming going? Is there anything you need support from the club?"
"With the guidance of Mr. Yuan, the action scenes are progressing very smoothly. The young actors are also very able to endure hardships. There are no problems with the action scenes for the time being."
Onodahei said that there was no problem with the action scenes, which is basically saying that there are still problems in other aspects.
Hanyu Hideki asked directly, "Tell me, is there anything else that needs to be solved?"
"Chairman Hanyu, because of the shooting style of this armored warrior, there is little need for miniature models, but a lot of special effects need to be added.
Previously, the club said it would send technicians from a company called Pease in America to provide guidance, but they have not come so far. If this continues, it will definitely affect the filming progress. "
"Pixar? It's Pixar, right?" Hanyu Hideki said.
"Yes, yes! It's Pixar." Onoda nodded in agreement.
Hideki Hanyu did not expect that Asako Hirohashi would borrow people from Pixar Studio to shoot special effects films.
Although Pixar Studio is currently mainly engaged in loss-making 3D animation, before it was acquired by Hideki Hanyu, it was also engaged in computer special effects production at Lucasfilm.
In fact, Hanyu Hideki still doesn't know something.
That is, after the senior management of Yunying Animation decided to start the tokusatsu drama plan, they found that they lacked experience in the production and shooting of miniatures.
I simply decided to take a different shooting path.
That is to borrow the most advanced special effects technology from Hollywood to directly create more cool special effects special effects dramas.
Asako Hirohashi happened to know that Hideki Hanyu had acquired a computer special effects studio, so he contacted Pixar through the America branch, hoping to send someone to provide technical guidance.
However, they are also busy with a project recently, and the manpower is very tight, so they won’t be able to arrange for anyone to come over for a while.
After learning that it was Pixar Studio, Hideki Hanyu assured Onodahei, "Director Ono, I know about this matter, and I will personally urge Pixar Studio."
Onodahei quickly thanked him, "Thank you very much, President."
After watching for a while, after the filming of the action scene was completed, Hanyu Hideki asked Onodahei to call the action director over.
After the two had a conversation in Mandarin, Hanyu Hideki learned that the action director surnamed Yuan, whom Shaw Brothers helped introduce, had quite a background.
The other party's name is Yuan Xinyi, who was born in the famous Yuan Family Class in Xiangjiang.
He is the right-hand man of Yuan Heping and Yuan Xiangren, one of the founders of the Yuan Family Class, and the well-deserved number three figure.
No wonder Hanyu Hideki just watched the other party direct the action scene and the work was done so well.
And Hideki Hanyu thought of Yuan Jiaban because of Yuan Xinyi.
When Yuan Xinyi faced Hideki Hanyu, he also remembered some things he had recently learned on the phone.
While Hideki Hanyu was still in Xiangjiang, Yuan Xinyi arrived at Neon to start action guidance work.
The reason why he is willing to work in Neon is not only because the class leader is entrusted by Mr. Shao, but also because of the high remuneration here.
Come work for a few months and help train a few action coaches.
The remuneration given by Yunying Pictures is equivalent to what he has earned in Xiangjiang for several years.
And because he came early, relatives and friends called him to tell him many things about Hanyu Hideki.
For example, the establishment of Asian Cinemas.
For example, the recent uproar on the island about the banning of the Ni family and his son.
The former made Hideki Hanyu become the top talker in the Hong Kong film industry.
As for the latter, although Asian Cinemas denied that it was related to Hanyu Hideki.
But no one can see what the actual situation is.
The rich man in front of me is by no means a nice gentleman.
Ni Zhen was rude and insulted others behind their backs.
As a result, the implicated father and son almost lost their livelihood in Xiangjiang.
Except for a few friends who have nothing to do with the entertainment industry, they also dare to help the Ni family and his son.
Now that other people saw the Ni family and his son, it was as if they had seen the god of plague.
It is said that the martial arts master wanted Nee Sly to serialize the novel in his newspaper.
As a result, I received advice from friends in the industry that day.
If he said he really did that, a large number of advertisers would cancel their contracts without mentioning it.
The revolutionary films of his works will never be released in Asian theaters again.
Even Mr. Shao advised the other party not to wade into troubled waters easily.
In the end, even the martial arts master couldn't withstand the pressure and gave up cooperation with Ni Sili.
After all, Asian theater chains have privately said that even if they are doing business at a loss, they will still block it until the end.
Yuan Xinyi, who was in Neon at this time, firmly believed in this sentence.
Because compared to the insiders in Xiangjiang, after staying in Neon for two months, he had a preliminary understanding of Hanyu Hideki's wealth and status.
Others say that they will be banned even if they lose money. Maybe they are talking nonsense.
But Hanyu Hideki is absolutely impossible.
The other party's worth, let alone an Asian theater chain, would not care even if they paid ten dollars.
The so-called entertainment companies in Xiangjiang are like playing house in front of Hanyu Hideki's Yunshang system.
There is absolutely no comparison.
Now no one in the circle wants to directly help the Ni family and his son.
Instead, they approached Pan Disheng and Mr. Shao one after another, hoping that they could be the middlemen.
I beg Hideki Hanyu to be noble and free the Ni family and his son.Having never seen Hideki Hanyu before, Yuan Xinyi subconsciously labeled Hideki Hanyu as a vicious person because of those rumors.
But when he met him like this today, he found that this young man who spoke standard Mandarin and had a gentle temperament did not look like a villain at all.
Hideki Hanyu didn't really care what Yuan Xinyi thought of him.
Even if no one had mentioned the fact that the Ni family and his son were banned by him, he would have almost forgotten about it.
Seeing that the action design of tokusatsu films no longer has any problems.
He had no intention of staying any longer.
He said goodbye to the crew and left.
But when he just walked out of the set and was about to drive away, he suddenly heard someone saying hello to him.
"President Hanyu, here!"
This is a female voice.
Looking along the sound, Hanyu Hideki saw that the person greeting him was Yunshang Entertainment's manager Katada Tamako.
The artist responsible for the other party is Yasuko Sawaguchi.
Just when Hanyu Hideki was wondering why the other party called him.
Katada Tamako had already trotted up to him and said with a look of surprise.
"I didn't expect that Chairman Hanyu also knew that Sawaguchi-san was wrapping up today and came to visit the team specially. I think Sawaguchi-san will be very happy."
After hearing Yoshida Tamako's words, Hanyu Hideki finally understood that the other party might have misunderstood.
I think the crew that Yasuko Sawaguchi is on is not far from the crew of the tokusatsu drama.
He just walked out and was seen by Yoshida Tamako, who thought he was here to visit Banzeguchi Yasuko.
In fact, let alone Sawaguchi Yasuko’s finalization time.
The scumbag who came back from Xiangjiang didn't care about Yasuko Sawaguchi's current situation at all.
For Hideki Hanyu, who has no shortage of women.
Ordinary people can only dream of her, and Sawaguchi Yasuko, who is known as "the last stunning beauty of the Showa era", is not as important as imagined.
As a person, after all, what he loves most in his heart is only himself.
As the saying goes, hit by mistake.
Since Yoshida Tamako misunderstood, he simply went to visit the class to have a look.
Therefore, Hanyu Hideki did not explain, just said.
"I just finished working at the Central District Exhibition and stopped by to take a look. I was short on time and didn't prepare anything."
"It's enough for President Hanyu to come. There's no need to prepare anything."
Yoshida Tamako said and called Hanyu Hideki.
"President, please come with me. Sawaguchi-san's last scene is about to end. I just went to pick up and deliver the cake. Now besides the cake, I can give her another surprise."
In this way, Hanyu Hideki, who was about to leave, accidentally became a visiting class.
Even at the suggestion of the well-meaning Katada Tamako, he prepared to push the cake cart to surprise Sawaguchi Yasuko.
shooting scene.
From a distance, Hideki Hanyu stood on the vanity cart high up, watching the filming on the distant set.
The filming location here is only separated from the tokusatsu drama by a wall.
It's no wonder that after he came out, Yoshida Tamako misunderstood.
Behind Hanyu Hideki, several makeup artists who usually liked to gossip and even dared to make fun of the supervisor were staring at their boss with nervous faces.
All of them were silent and behaved quite quietly and well-behaved.
Suddenly, the quiet air was broken by Hanyu Hideki's question.
"Isn't Yasuko Sawaguchi the heroine? Why did the film wrap up so quickly?"
If Hideki Hanyu remembers correctly, the movie only started filming in late January, and now it’s only March 21st.
He had read the script of this movie, and it didn't look like the heroine could be finished in two months.
As soon as Hanyu Hideki said this, several makeup artists looked at me and I looked at you.
Although everyone knew the reason, no one dared to answer it first.
Hanyu Hideki turned around and pointed at the female makeup artist closest to him, "Say."
Although his tone was flat, no emotion could be heard.
The aura that comes with being single still makes the makeup artist who was pointed out not dare to delay.
"After the crew started filming, because of Ze...Due to filming problems, the club made a revision to the script. Miss Sawaguchi's role was reduced. In order to take care of Miss Sawaguchi, the supervisor also decided to give priority to filming her scenes..."
At first, the makeup artist seemed to want to say that Yunyei Animation made changes to the script because Yasuko Sawaguchi lost her temper.
But he soon realized that the relationship between the boss in front of him and Yasuko Sawaguchi was not simple.
It is said that the person who ordered the revision of the script was the president.
How dare she tell the truth? She could only change her story and it became a matter of filming.
As for the latter part, the so-called supervisor gave priority to filming Yasuko Sawaguchi’s scenes in order to take care of her.
It's definitely nonsense.
Hideki Hanyu doesn’t need to guess to know that the director of this film must have the mentality of sending the god of plague away.
I just want to finish filming Yasuko Sawaguchi’s scenes as soon as possible and send this untouchable aunt away as soon as possible.
After listening to the makeup artist's words, Hanyu Hideki didn't say anything, but continued to watch the shooting in the distance.
At this time, a new character appeared in the scene being filmed on the set.
It was Miji Iijima who took it upon himself to help arrange Hitomi Kuroki to join the crew.
Seeing this former lover, Hanyu Hideki thought of his revised script.
Yasuko Sawaguchi's scenes have become less frequent, and the biggest beneficiary should be Hitomi Kuroki.
After all, the number one female lead has fewer roles, so the number two female lead will naturally have more roles.
This woman, who is beautiful, soft on the outside but strong on the inside, and extremely enterprising, should be very happy.
While Hideki Hanyu was thinking, Tamako Katada, who was not far from the vanity van, waved to him to signal that the shooting was about to end.
According to the previous arrangement, Hanyu Hideki slowly pushed the cake out from the back of the van when Yasuko Sawaguchi, who was wearing a costume, approached the vanity van.
Amidst the congratulations from the crew, Yasuko Sawaguchi saw Hideki Hanyu.
Expressions ranged from surprise to tears of joy.
I was so moved that I couldn't help myself.
Then without shying away from the eyes of the people around him, he threw himself directly into Hanyu Hideki's arms.
Now, the rumors that she has a relationship with the big boss are confirmed.
As for Hideki Hanyu.
Whether it was rumors or facts, he no longer cared.
Anyway, as long as the cloud system stays on for a day.
He can dominate the neon art world with one hand.
These little people in the crew were so brave that they dared to gossip about him casually.
In Xiangjiang, it takes a lot of effort and a lot of connections to ban someone.
But in Neon, he wanted to block the little people in the entertainment industry, but it was just a matter of words.
"Jingzi, stop crying, everyone is watching."
Hideki Hanyu gently comforted the crying girl.
……
Because of the arrival of Hideki Hanyu.
The wrapping celebration prepared by the crew for Yasuko Sawaguchi ended quickly.
After all, with such a big boss here, it is really difficult for everyone to let go.
The smiles on everyone's faces were countless times faker than when Hanyu Hideki didn't come.
It can only be said that the superior is the superior.
No matter how approachable Hanyu Hideki is on weekdays.
After all, he cannot change his identity and the social culture rooted in neon.
When Yunying Animation was founded, Hideki Hanyu liked to treat his subordinates to dinner when he had nothing to do.
But as the cloud system grows larger and larger, the number of employees has grown from dozens to hundreds, and now to thousands.
If you include cloud satellite TV and third-party labor dispatch employees.
The total number of staff in the entire Yunshang Department has exceeded the five thousand mark.
The story about the boss Hideki Hanyu's love of treating guests to dinner has gradually become a "legend" told by senior employees to show off.
After Hanyu Hideki took away Sawaguchi Yasuko.
The director of photography in the crew, who was affiliated with the Yunying Animation Photography Division, began to tell the story to the people around him.
"You newcomers just don't have enough experience. Don't always listen to the rumors outside. President Hanyu is actually a very friendly person."
At this point, the director of photography put on an expression that reminded him of those days.
"I think back when the club was founded in Shibuya, I was filming a music video with Director Ito that day. The president suddenly came to visit the team and finally treated us to a kaiseki meal worth [-] yen per person..."
The senior veteran who joined Yunying Animation when it was first started told long-lasting stories and immediately attracted many ignorant newcomers to watch.
Some more senior employees who knew the photography director hurriedly stayed away.
After all, anyone who has heard something dozens of times will find it boring.
Not far away, Hitomi Kuroki was sitting on a rest chair.
Having just witnessed everything, she felt mixed feelings in her heart.
When she heard the director of photography's words again, she couldn't help but think to herself.
At that time, Hanyu Hideki probably didn't know her yet, and his public girlfriend was still Matsuzaka Keiko.
That woman did not hesitate to shoot a large-scale movie in order to cooperate with Fukasaku Kinji.
It is no secret in the industry that she gave up on Hideki Hanyu as her boyfriend.
It has also become one of the top stupid decisions in the entertainment industry.
When people in the industry mentioned Keiko Matsuzaka, who would not say that if she had not left Hideki Hanyu in the first place, she would have broken up with Hideki Hanyu even later.
Or maybe the separation is not so complete.
Nowadays, people have to take off their clothes in every movie and gain fame through large-scale performances.
What about the two consecutive Neon Film Academy Awards for Best Actress?
Is it comparable to the support of the entire cloud system?
What happened to Matsuzaka Keiko inevitably reminded Kuroki Hitomi of herself.
At this time, she has a high chance of winning the starring role in another movie after this movie ends.
And it is an adaptation of the original work by the great writer Junichi Watanabe.
But the problem was that after she read the script of that movie, she found that it was a movie on a larger scale than "Dotonbori River" chosen by Keiko Matsuzaka.
So Kuroki Hitomi understands that as long as she chooses this movie.
You must give up some unwilling possibility.
……
Aboard the Mercedes-Benz G-Class leaving the NHK photography base.
Yasuko Sawaguchi, who was delighted with the arrival of Hideki Hanyu, was curiously asking Hideki Hanyu questions.
Later I asked him about things in Xiangjiang.
Later I asked him why his living expenses had increased again.
After a while, I asked him why he bought such a big car.
Anyway, after not seeing each other for so long, the girl had countless things she wanted to say.
After a long time, Hanyu Hideki finally interrupted and asked, "After the filming is over, what will Yasuko plan to do next?"
"Of course I need to take a good rest. I have been working in theaters every day for the past two months and have to sleep in the RV. I don't want to work anymore this year."
Yasuko Sawaguchi said matter-of-factly.
Unlike the goblin who still pursues his career, Yasuko Sawaguchi is a complete lay-off.
When she has time, she would rather practice golf than work.
Such a Showa beauty was completely spoiled by Hanyu Hideki.
After talking about her plan, the girl used a sweet voice to act coquettishly towards Hideki Hanyu.
"I'll stay with Hideki-kun from now on, okay."
When the scumbag heard this, he answered without changing his expression.
"Of course, but I'm still busy with work recently, and you haven't been home to see your parents for a while. Why don't you go back to Osaka to see your parents first? I plan to go to America in a few days, and then I'll take you to Hawaii for vacation. how?"
When she heard that she and Hanyu Hideki could go to Hawaii to spend time together, the girl nodded happily on the spot.
"Okay, then I will go back to Osaka to see my parents and buy them some gifts, and then Hideki-kun will pick me up, okay?"
"no problem."
"But it's definitely too late to leave today. Can Hideki-kun stay with me tonight?"
"sure……"
Faced with the beauty's act of coquettishness, Hideki Hanyu agreed wholeheartedly.
The Mercedes-Benz G changed direction and headed straight for Chiyoda District.
……
The next day.
In a bedroom on the second floor of a house in Chiyoda Ward.
Hanyu Hideki carefully removed Sleeping Beauty's delicate white arms surrounding him.
After returning home yesterday, the beauty, whom he had not seen for a long time, challenged him beyond her own abilities.
As a result, he was taken care of by his family for a while.
early morning.
He woke up in high spirits and refreshed.
But looking at the beauty's sleeping look, it was obvious that she was too tired to wake up for a while.
Call the assistant Ishihara Chie and instruct the other party to do the following.
Help Yasuko Sawaguchi book a Shinkansen ticket to Osaka and prepare the girl’s favorite breakfast.
Then he brought breakfast to wake up Yasuko Sawaguchi, and finally arranged a car to take Yasuko Sawaguchi to take the Shinkansen.
After the explanation, Hanyu Hideki left the house in Chiyoda District and went to Yunshang Entertainment.
Entering the building, he went straight to Asako Hirohashi's office.
After arriving at the office, he saw that Hirohashi Asako was not busy, so he directly informed her that he had gone to see the tokusatsu filming site yesterday.
"How does Hanyu-san feel?"
"It's very good, but Director Ono said that America's special effects director hasn't arrived yet. I didn't expect Asako-san to contact Pixar."
"I didn't know anyone in Hollywood, and it happened that Hanyu-san's studio had experience, so I contacted him by the way. However, they seemed to be too busy. Although they had agreed, they never arranged for anyone to come."
"Don't worry about Asako-san. I contacted Pixar last night and they will arrange for someone to come over as soon as possible."
"That's good." Asako Hirohashi said, pushing a piece of information in front of Hanyu Hideki.
"What is this?" Hanyu Hideki said.
"Hanyu-san said last time that he wanted to cooperate in establishing a stunt training base in Xiangjiang. He asked me to help recommend a person in charge. This is it."
"Oh, let me see."
Hideki Hanyu picked up the document and looked at it, and found that it was a middle-level manager affiliated with Yunying Animation TV Imaging Department, who had previous work experience in Hong Kong.
In terms of qualifications, there are no problems. I have participated in front-line work and have management experience.
Plus, it was recommended by Asako Hirohashi.
He said directly, "No problem, but we need to wait for the time being."
"why."
Hirohashi Asako asked curiously.
Obviously Hanyu Hideki was so anxious before, but now that he had a candidate, he suddenly asked to wait.
"After I met with the action director yesterday, I felt that he was very capable. I intend to bring the group behind him into the stunt base. I need to investigate their information in a short time."
Hanyu Hideki's explanation seems reasonable.
But in fact, I just told Asako Hirohashi.
He probably knew something about Yuan Jiaban.
Relying on Wu Siyuan's support, Yuan Heping transformed from an action director to a director, and produced "Snake" and "Drunken Master", which helped Cheng Long rise to prominence.
After the success of the two films, Yuan Baye, who was unwilling to be a wage earner, established his own "Peace Pictures".
But as an action director, Yuan Baye is extremely talented.
But as a boss and running a film company, this guy really has no talent.
At first, I admired Yuan Richu, but after a few movies, although the movies were still popular, people were tepid.
And because the subject matter he is good at is not popular in the market.
Yuan Heping started to promote Zhenzi Dan again, but his first movie "Laughing Tai Chi" was a hit.
This year, Heping Pictures chose to transform again and created the breakdancing-themed movie "Love Enemies", which will be released next month.
This historically anachronistic film is a flop after it opens next month.
Yuan Heping suffered successive losses and faced debt pressure, so he had to commit "Yuan Family Class" to Debao Pictures.
What Hideki Hanyu was waiting for was actually this opportunity.
Now Debao Films has merged the theater chain into Asian Cinemas.
Hanyu Hideki subscribed for Pan Disheng's company shares.
When the time comes, let Pan Disheng explain that building a stunt training base based on the Yuan Family Class will definitely be much better than just looking for random people.
After all, in this period, Xiangjiang has a famous action team.
Except that the Yuan family was unable to make ends meet due to being tortured by Master Ba.
Others, such as the Hong Family Class and the Married Family Class, are very prosperous, and it is still very difficult to recruit them.
Although Yuan Baye is not good at running a company, he is definitely a leader in the industry when it comes to action guidance.
Ok……
Just invest some money to help the other party pay off their debts.
Maybe the other party can produce that masterpiece early, which will put Heping Pictures out of business.
"Legend of Fire Cloud"
After all, there are still many famous scenes in that movie.
After listening to Hanyu Hideki's explanation, Hirohashi Asako said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you anyway. I don't care how you arrange it."
"I'm doing something, Asako-san, don't worry."
Hanyu Hideki put away the information and prepared to send people to Xiangjiang to make preliminary preparations.
If you want to set up a stunt training base, you must prepare the venue.
Hanyu Hideki's ambitions for this base are not just in the field of action guidance.
He was ready to try out technologies like flying cars, blasting, and miniature models.
Even after Pixar people came to Neon, he planned to set up a computer special effects center in Hong Kong.
The Xiangjiang Film Market is nothing more than a springboard for this comprehensive base.
In addition to the service cloud system.
We are also preparing to serve a larger market in the future.
But there is no need to say these words for the time being, so as not to scare your friends.
The two chatted briefly for a while.
Before Hanyu Hideki left, Hirohashi Asako asked, "After finishing the neon matter, Hanyu-san is planning to go to America."
"Yes, Elf Entertainment will participate in the American Exhibition in April. But before work, I plan to go to Hawaii to rest and buy a vacation place there. I haven't stayed there yet."
Speaking of this, Hanyu Hideki seemed to have thought of something and asked Hirohashi Asako, "Have you heard of the Maldives?"
Hirohashi Asako shook his head, "I've never heard of it. Is there anything special about that place?"
Hideki Hanyu was not surprised by this answer.
After all, although the Maldives began to develop tourism in the 70s, at first it was just for self-entertainment, self-development, and self-recruitment of guests.
Really ushering in rapid development will have to wait until the 90s.
So Hideki Hanyu explained.
"It is an archipelago country with beautiful scenery and a very good environment. It is very suitable for vacation. Unfortunately, the development is very average now. Otherwise, I could buy a few islands for you."
"Very good, then I'll just wait for Hanyu-san to give me the island."
Asako Hirohashi thought Hanyu Hideki was just talking casually, so he agreed casually.
The update is limited to just [-] cases, bro, I think that’s interesting.
(End of this chapter)
If it is said that the announcement of Pokeball C, a color handheld console by Elf Entertainment, made people at Bandai and Nintendo panic.
When Satoru Iwata revealed the prices of the two consoles, people at Bandai and Nintendo felt nothing but despair.
One of them was involved in the entire development and pricing of the WS handheld console.
Therefore, it can be easily judged that the production cost of Elf Entertainment's Pokeball C handheld console is lower than that of the WS handheld console due to its huge production volume.
It can be sold for 12999 yen and it is absolutely impossible to make a profit.
There is even a high possibility of losses.
But Elf Entertainment just priced it like this.
If Nintendo and Bandai bring the price of the WS color handheld console to the same level as the basic version of the Pokeball 2 handheld console and want to compete in a price war through differentiation.
The pricing that Elf Entertainment has set for the two upgraded handheld consoles at this time can be described as "losing money and making money".
Can Nintendo and Bandai continue to follow up with price cuts?
In theory it is possible.
But in practice it is very difficult.
First of all, the Wonders Swan handheld console is a product of cooperation between the two companies.
Problems will arise when cooperating within a club.
What's more, they are two completely different interests that have even had business competition before.
From R&D to production.
From testing to pricing.
The dispute between Bandai and Nintendo has never stopped.
If it weren't for the formidable enemy of Elf Entertainment, the two companies might not be able to complete their cooperation at all.
that's it.
The retail price finally determined can only be said to be the cost price for the two clubs, and it has not reached the level of loss.
If sales are good and production can be further increased.
Coupled with overseas production and a series of impacts from the appreciation of the yen, some profits will definitely be generated.
We are already going to start a price war, but we still have to consider profitability.
Looking deeper into the reason, it still has something to do with this being a collaboration.
It is easy to say that it is a price war at a loss.
Such as Elf Entertainment.
Although Hideki Hanyu rarely participates in management, he usually spends time in three game studios when he goes to the club.
But in the final analysis, Elf Entertainment is still Hanyu Hideki's one-word hall.
Not to mention losing money, even if he decides to give away products for free, he can still enforce it.
But Nintendo is different. Nintendo is a listed company and must be accountable to shareholders and the board of directors.
Coupled with the failure of the America strategy, the local market was eroded by the PS console.
Even if Nintendo is willing to sell at a loss, it will be difficult to convince its own family.
As a result, there is now another partner to convince, which makes it even more difficult.
What's more, Bandai doesn't want to lose money.
After all, Bandai is a "layman" in the gaming industry.
It is difficult for them to accept the strategy of making no profit in the early stage and making money again by occupying the market.
The most important thing is that Bandai has been seeking to go public these years.
This year, the Neon Securities market is in great shape.
Bandai finally saw the hope of becoming Neon's first listed toy company.
How could it be possible to engage in a price war at a loss at such a critical moment, which would ultimately add risks to the listing?
To put it sadly for Nintendo, the Wonders Swan handheld console can fail, but Bandai's launch must not allow for mistakes.
Based on the above situation.
The two staff members who came to the scene to inquire about information understood.
Even though Elf Entertainment counterattacked so fiercely on price.
But in a short period of time, Bandai and Nintendo were simply unable to follow up.
At the main booth at this time, Satoru Iwata announced the prices of the two handheld consoles.
There was no pause and it went directly to the next stage of the press conference.
This is different from Nintendo, which is trying to compete for the market with WS handheld consoles and [-]-bit consoles.
Elf Entertainment has too many products at its disposal.
For example, next, Satoru Iwata began to introduce the upgraded models of PS consoles without increasing the price.
While other manufacturers are still having headaches in developing [-]-bit consoles, Elf Entertainment has already launched an upgraded model.
Of course, compared to handheld consoles, there is not much difference between the upgraded model and the old model.
It is also fully compatible with the original game.
After a brief introduction by Satoru Iwata, he entered the next stage.
Genie Entertainment is about to launch new games on handhelds, consoles, and arcades.
There are sequels to previous old games, and there are also new games like "Tornado".
That’s compared to Nintendo, which only released three new games.
The games of Elf Entertainment are all top-notch in terms of type and quantity.
At the end, it is the theme of this Tokyo Electric Power Exhibition.
A second-generation shooting interactive game developed based on the EGP arcade platform.
Under the booth, many players were invited to the stage to experience a space fighter that could rotate 360 degrees, or a huge tank that galloped through the jungle and hunted monsters.
Relying on the promotion of leasing services and a flexible agent system.
Genie Entertainment EGP Arcade’s dominance in the world of arcade games is more exaggerated and stable than its dominance in handheld and console games.
Let’s put it this way, there are still manufacturers that can compete with Elf Entertainment in the field of handheld and console games.
In the field of arcade machines, most manufacturers have given up struggling.
Either they actively integrate into the EGP arcade platform, they silently devour those market segments that EGP arcades don’t want, or they directly block EGP from self-operated arcade stores.
But the problem is that as EGP occupies an increasing market share.
If those third-party arcade game developers want to survive, they can only join the EGP platform.
In the absence of game support, blindly shutting out EGP arcades will also shut out players.
This approach is destined not to last long.
However, Hideki Hanyu heard that SNK has not given up on developing new arcade machines.
But I didn’t see it at the booth.
Tomorrow is SNK's press conference. I don't know if it will be announced tomorrow.
But now EGP arcade has become a trend.
There are a lot of agents tied up all over the world.
The market advantage is hard to shake.
SNK launches a new arcade machine at this time, which is undoubtedly challenging the difficulty of hell.
Since Elf Entertainment has many products, the introduction time is very long.
During this period, it did not disappoint those players who queued up overnight, and issued witness badges for this year’s Tokyo Electric Power Show.
Every year, the witness badge of the Tokyo Electric Power Show will fit in with the theme of Elf Entertainment’s press conference.
Because the main focus this year is product upgrades.
Therefore, the badge design should also try to move closer to the direction of technology.
The small badge shows the outline of the Pokeball handheld machine.
On the metal base, lines similar to circuit boards are used to form an Elf Entertainment LOGO pattern.
Give the entire LOGO a unique sense of electronic technology.
The outside is covered with transparent material and is slightly curved.
When viewed by the owner of the badge, the pattern is slightly enlarged.
On the back of the badge, there is also the abbreviation of the Tokyo Electric Power Exhibition with the session number, as well as a unique digital code.
Except this witness badge.
Companion medals will also be randomly drawn.
The shape of this badge is more cute. It is a flame on the tail of a small fire dragon, which turns into the pattern of the Tokyo Electric Power Exhibition LOGO.
Although the companion badge will only be issued at the Tokyo Electric Power Exhibition.
But in addition to the press conference at the main booth, you can also get it by participating in events at the booth.
The press conference progressed to the later stage.
Seeing that Satoru Iwata hosted the event in a good manner, Hanyu Hideki quietly walked down the main booth and handed the booth to Satoru Iwata.
Since he decided to trust the other party, he would not interfere easily.
Unless certain decisions of the other party will go against the general trend of future market development.
As soon as he stepped off the stage, Kusamura Junchu came up with a smile and said, "President, the response from the players seems to be very enthusiastic."
Next to him, former Yuan Zhensheng interrupted.
“To sell a console at these two prices, we have to pay at least 900 yen. Based on the current global sales of 20 million units, we will lose nearly [-] billion.
And in order to compensate for consumers who bought older handheld models, more than 20 billion yen in coupons will be issued.
In this situation, it would be strange if the players were unhappy. "
"Look at your stingy look. The president has already said that you should take a long-term view..."
"I just told the facts, and I didn't question the president's decision."
……
Seeing these two senior executives with hundreds of millions in income quarreling in front of him again, Hideki Hanyu interrupted helplessly.
"Okay, if you have time to argue here, why not think about how to do the next sales.
Losing money is not the point. The point is that the money lost must be meaningful. We must suppress the sales of WS handheld consoles from the beginning.
For this purpose, the sales department must have a complete marketing plan, including overseas areas.
It doesn't matter if you lose money, various promotions must be stepped up, and the WS handheld must not be given any chance. "
In Hanyu Hideki's view, let alone a compensation of 40 billion yen, as long as he can kill the WS handheld console and consolidate Genie Entertainment's dominance in the handheld field, he will accept even a further 40 billion yen compensation.
Market share is maintained, and all third-party game developers must continue to be bound to Genie Entertainment.
In this case, other manufacturers cannot come forward, and ten 40 billion can be earned back.
When Hanyu Hideki said this, Maemoto Shino quickly replied, "Yes, President, I will organize the sales department to formulate a marketing plan now."
"Go ahead and communicate with Iwata-san at any time, especially with the America branch."
Hideki Hanyu emphasized emphatically.
As a time traveler, the biggest advantage is that you can learn from many failure cases, summarize the reasons, and avoid them in advance.
In another time and space, Sega's MD console and peripherals were clearly selling well in America and were very popular among players.
However, for the next-generation console "Saturn", Neon Sega headquarters forced the promotion of the new-generation console regardless of the objections of American sellers, and then stopped the replenishment of MD.
As a result, not only did Saturn fail to succeed, but it also lost the advantages that the MD console had finally created.
Since then, Sega has never been able to achieve the same success as the MD console.
Therefore, when the headquarters makes a plan, it must not just do it on the head, especially if it is forcibly promoted to the branches.
Satoru Iwata has stayed in America for more than two years and has an in-depth understanding of the market conditions in Europe and the United States.
With the other party doing the final check, Hanyu Hideki can feel more at ease.
After Qian Yuan Zhensheng left.
Kusamura Junchu also said goodbye to Hanyu Hideki and left.
The person in charge of the production department has been extremely busy recently.
We must follow Hanyu Hideki's instructions and go against the trend to recruit workers in Neon.
To manage elf factories distributed throughout Asia.
We also need to cooperate with Kitahara Eri to divide the surrounding production plants.
After attending the Tokyo Electric Power Exhibition this time, I am leaving for Singapore again.
In short, I have never been able to relax.
After the two left, Hideki Hanyu waited backstage until Satoru Iwata finished the press conference, congratulated him, and then left the Tokyo Electric Show.
After today, his trip to the Tokyo Electric Power Show has come to an end.
If there is nothing serious, he will not come again.
Seeing the time is still early.
Hideki Hanyu decided to visit NHK’s filming base.
Now Yunnan Pictures' first special feature drama "Armor Warrior" is being filmed here.
Previously, Hirohashi Asako said that if he wanted to know the specific conditions of action scene shooting, he needed to go to the scene to see it.
After driving his off-road vehicle to the filming base, he was led by employees to an urban set and saw "Armor Warrior" being filmed.
In order not to affect the shooting, he just watched from a distance.
Although it is an imitation of the works of later generations, it is in order to adapt to different cultures.
Hideki Hanyu simply gave a general framework for the work.
The specific stories are all filled in by the Yunying Animation Screenwriting Department.
Therefore, this film "Armor Warrior" actually has nothing to do with the later film.
But in order to take care of the game and surrounding promotion.
The shooting style is the same as that of later generations. The "exaggeration" is very obvious, that is, no matter what the ability, the moves must have a cool name and equipment.
Then when you make a move, be sure to shout it loudly.
It has to be said that when filming this kind of work, actors need to be supported by a strong sense of belief.
Armored Warriors requires many actors.
Although there are many actors signed by Elf Entertainment, most of them are not suitable to participate in the show.
Or maybe it's so popular that there's no need to participate in a tokusatsu drama.
The only people who actually joined the cast were Kazami Shingo, who liked guest villains, and Karasawa Yusei and Tateishi Ryota, who played the protagonists.
As for other protagonists and important roles, most of them will be assigned to artists from companies with which they have cooperative relationships.
Some unimportant supporting roles will be left to the trainees at the training base for acting training.
However, those who have not debuted until now basically have no talent.
It would be nice to finally have a recurring role in a tokusatsu drama.
Hanyu Hideki came here this time, of course, not to see who is the protagonist.
But to see if the action scenes have improved with the help of Xiangjiang's action director.
Soon, he saw the filming of action scenes.
I saw a rough-looking man directing the actors' movements in Mandarin with the help of a translator.
The other party is obviously a veteran in action design.
No one designed the action scenes according to the shooting habits of Xiangjiang action movies. Instead, he designed moves that fit the plot according to local conditions.
It's simple and distinctive, and has a bit of a "cool" feel.
And just after the action director took over the shooting of the action scenes.
The crew supervisor who had his hands free quickly came over to say hello to Hideki Hanyu.
This supervisor named Onoda Ping is not a direct descendant of Yunying Animation.
But after he decided to shoot a tokusatsu drama, he was seconded from Tsuburaya.
Although he is not a great director, he has unique experience in shooting tokusatsu dramas, which helped Yunying Pictures get through the early days of lack of experience.
After saying hello, Hanyu Hideki asked Onodahei, "How is the filming going? Is there anything you need support from the club?"
"With the guidance of Mr. Yuan, the action scenes are progressing very smoothly. The young actors are also very able to endure hardships. There are no problems with the action scenes for the time being."
Onodahei said that there was no problem with the action scenes, which is basically saying that there are still problems in other aspects.
Hanyu Hideki asked directly, "Tell me, is there anything else that needs to be solved?"
"Chairman Hanyu, because of the shooting style of this armored warrior, there is little need for miniature models, but a lot of special effects need to be added.
Previously, the club said it would send technicians from a company called Pease in America to provide guidance, but they have not come so far. If this continues, it will definitely affect the filming progress. "
"Pixar? It's Pixar, right?" Hanyu Hideki said.
"Yes, yes! It's Pixar." Onoda nodded in agreement.
Hideki Hanyu did not expect that Asako Hirohashi would borrow people from Pixar Studio to shoot special effects films.
Although Pixar Studio is currently mainly engaged in loss-making 3D animation, before it was acquired by Hideki Hanyu, it was also engaged in computer special effects production at Lucasfilm.
In fact, Hanyu Hideki still doesn't know something.
That is, after the senior management of Yunying Animation decided to start the tokusatsu drama plan, they found that they lacked experience in the production and shooting of miniatures.
I simply decided to take a different shooting path.
That is to borrow the most advanced special effects technology from Hollywood to directly create more cool special effects special effects dramas.
Asako Hirohashi happened to know that Hideki Hanyu had acquired a computer special effects studio, so he contacted Pixar through the America branch, hoping to send someone to provide technical guidance.
However, they are also busy with a project recently, and the manpower is very tight, so they won’t be able to arrange for anyone to come over for a while.
After learning that it was Pixar Studio, Hideki Hanyu assured Onodahei, "Director Ono, I know about this matter, and I will personally urge Pixar Studio."
Onodahei quickly thanked him, "Thank you very much, President."
After watching for a while, after the filming of the action scene was completed, Hanyu Hideki asked Onodahei to call the action director over.
After the two had a conversation in Mandarin, Hanyu Hideki learned that the action director surnamed Yuan, whom Shaw Brothers helped introduce, had quite a background.
The other party's name is Yuan Xinyi, who was born in the famous Yuan Family Class in Xiangjiang.
He is the right-hand man of Yuan Heping and Yuan Xiangren, one of the founders of the Yuan Family Class, and the well-deserved number three figure.
No wonder Hanyu Hideki just watched the other party direct the action scene and the work was done so well.
And Hideki Hanyu thought of Yuan Jiaban because of Yuan Xinyi.
When Yuan Xinyi faced Hideki Hanyu, he also remembered some things he had recently learned on the phone.
While Hideki Hanyu was still in Xiangjiang, Yuan Xinyi arrived at Neon to start action guidance work.
The reason why he is willing to work in Neon is not only because the class leader is entrusted by Mr. Shao, but also because of the high remuneration here.
Come work for a few months and help train a few action coaches.
The remuneration given by Yunying Pictures is equivalent to what he has earned in Xiangjiang for several years.
And because he came early, relatives and friends called him to tell him many things about Hanyu Hideki.
For example, the establishment of Asian Cinemas.
For example, the recent uproar on the island about the banning of the Ni family and his son.
The former made Hideki Hanyu become the top talker in the Hong Kong film industry.
As for the latter, although Asian Cinemas denied that it was related to Hanyu Hideki.
But no one can see what the actual situation is.
The rich man in front of me is by no means a nice gentleman.
Ni Zhen was rude and insulted others behind their backs.
As a result, the implicated father and son almost lost their livelihood in Xiangjiang.
Except for a few friends who have nothing to do with the entertainment industry, they also dare to help the Ni family and his son.
Now that other people saw the Ni family and his son, it was as if they had seen the god of plague.
It is said that the martial arts master wanted Nee Sly to serialize the novel in his newspaper.
As a result, I received advice from friends in the industry that day.
If he said he really did that, a large number of advertisers would cancel their contracts without mentioning it.
The revolutionary films of his works will never be released in Asian theaters again.
Even Mr. Shao advised the other party not to wade into troubled waters easily.
In the end, even the martial arts master couldn't withstand the pressure and gave up cooperation with Ni Sili.
After all, Asian theater chains have privately said that even if they are doing business at a loss, they will still block it until the end.
Yuan Xinyi, who was in Neon at this time, firmly believed in this sentence.
Because compared to the insiders in Xiangjiang, after staying in Neon for two months, he had a preliminary understanding of Hanyu Hideki's wealth and status.
Others say that they will be banned even if they lose money. Maybe they are talking nonsense.
But Hanyu Hideki is absolutely impossible.
The other party's worth, let alone an Asian theater chain, would not care even if they paid ten dollars.
The so-called entertainment companies in Xiangjiang are like playing house in front of Hanyu Hideki's Yunshang system.
There is absolutely no comparison.
Now no one in the circle wants to directly help the Ni family and his son.
Instead, they approached Pan Disheng and Mr. Shao one after another, hoping that they could be the middlemen.
I beg Hideki Hanyu to be noble and free the Ni family and his son.Having never seen Hideki Hanyu before, Yuan Xinyi subconsciously labeled Hideki Hanyu as a vicious person because of those rumors.
But when he met him like this today, he found that this young man who spoke standard Mandarin and had a gentle temperament did not look like a villain at all.
Hideki Hanyu didn't really care what Yuan Xinyi thought of him.
Even if no one had mentioned the fact that the Ni family and his son were banned by him, he would have almost forgotten about it.
Seeing that the action design of tokusatsu films no longer has any problems.
He had no intention of staying any longer.
He said goodbye to the crew and left.
But when he just walked out of the set and was about to drive away, he suddenly heard someone saying hello to him.
"President Hanyu, here!"
This is a female voice.
Looking along the sound, Hanyu Hideki saw that the person greeting him was Yunshang Entertainment's manager Katada Tamako.
The artist responsible for the other party is Yasuko Sawaguchi.
Just when Hanyu Hideki was wondering why the other party called him.
Katada Tamako had already trotted up to him and said with a look of surprise.
"I didn't expect that Chairman Hanyu also knew that Sawaguchi-san was wrapping up today and came to visit the team specially. I think Sawaguchi-san will be very happy."
After hearing Yoshida Tamako's words, Hanyu Hideki finally understood that the other party might have misunderstood.
I think the crew that Yasuko Sawaguchi is on is not far from the crew of the tokusatsu drama.
He just walked out and was seen by Yoshida Tamako, who thought he was here to visit Banzeguchi Yasuko.
In fact, let alone Sawaguchi Yasuko’s finalization time.
The scumbag who came back from Xiangjiang didn't care about Yasuko Sawaguchi's current situation at all.
For Hideki Hanyu, who has no shortage of women.
Ordinary people can only dream of her, and Sawaguchi Yasuko, who is known as "the last stunning beauty of the Showa era", is not as important as imagined.
As a person, after all, what he loves most in his heart is only himself.
As the saying goes, hit by mistake.
Since Yoshida Tamako misunderstood, he simply went to visit the class to have a look.
Therefore, Hanyu Hideki did not explain, just said.
"I just finished working at the Central District Exhibition and stopped by to take a look. I was short on time and didn't prepare anything."
"It's enough for President Hanyu to come. There's no need to prepare anything."
Yoshida Tamako said and called Hanyu Hideki.
"President, please come with me. Sawaguchi-san's last scene is about to end. I just went to pick up and deliver the cake. Now besides the cake, I can give her another surprise."
In this way, Hanyu Hideki, who was about to leave, accidentally became a visiting class.
Even at the suggestion of the well-meaning Katada Tamako, he prepared to push the cake cart to surprise Sawaguchi Yasuko.
shooting scene.
From a distance, Hideki Hanyu stood on the vanity cart high up, watching the filming on the distant set.
The filming location here is only separated from the tokusatsu drama by a wall.
It's no wonder that after he came out, Yoshida Tamako misunderstood.
Behind Hanyu Hideki, several makeup artists who usually liked to gossip and even dared to make fun of the supervisor were staring at their boss with nervous faces.
All of them were silent and behaved quite quietly and well-behaved.
Suddenly, the quiet air was broken by Hanyu Hideki's question.
"Isn't Yasuko Sawaguchi the heroine? Why did the film wrap up so quickly?"
If Hideki Hanyu remembers correctly, the movie only started filming in late January, and now it’s only March 21st.
He had read the script of this movie, and it didn't look like the heroine could be finished in two months.
As soon as Hanyu Hideki said this, several makeup artists looked at me and I looked at you.
Although everyone knew the reason, no one dared to answer it first.
Hanyu Hideki turned around and pointed at the female makeup artist closest to him, "Say."
Although his tone was flat, no emotion could be heard.
The aura that comes with being single still makes the makeup artist who was pointed out not dare to delay.
"After the crew started filming, because of Ze...Due to filming problems, the club made a revision to the script. Miss Sawaguchi's role was reduced. In order to take care of Miss Sawaguchi, the supervisor also decided to give priority to filming her scenes..."
At first, the makeup artist seemed to want to say that Yunyei Animation made changes to the script because Yasuko Sawaguchi lost her temper.
But he soon realized that the relationship between the boss in front of him and Yasuko Sawaguchi was not simple.
It is said that the person who ordered the revision of the script was the president.
How dare she tell the truth? She could only change her story and it became a matter of filming.
As for the latter part, the so-called supervisor gave priority to filming Yasuko Sawaguchi’s scenes in order to take care of her.
It's definitely nonsense.
Hideki Hanyu doesn’t need to guess to know that the director of this film must have the mentality of sending the god of plague away.
I just want to finish filming Yasuko Sawaguchi’s scenes as soon as possible and send this untouchable aunt away as soon as possible.
After listening to the makeup artist's words, Hanyu Hideki didn't say anything, but continued to watch the shooting in the distance.
At this time, a new character appeared in the scene being filmed on the set.
It was Miji Iijima who took it upon himself to help arrange Hitomi Kuroki to join the crew.
Seeing this former lover, Hanyu Hideki thought of his revised script.
Yasuko Sawaguchi's scenes have become less frequent, and the biggest beneficiary should be Hitomi Kuroki.
After all, the number one female lead has fewer roles, so the number two female lead will naturally have more roles.
This woman, who is beautiful, soft on the outside but strong on the inside, and extremely enterprising, should be very happy.
While Hideki Hanyu was thinking, Tamako Katada, who was not far from the vanity van, waved to him to signal that the shooting was about to end.
According to the previous arrangement, Hanyu Hideki slowly pushed the cake out from the back of the van when Yasuko Sawaguchi, who was wearing a costume, approached the vanity van.
Amidst the congratulations from the crew, Yasuko Sawaguchi saw Hideki Hanyu.
Expressions ranged from surprise to tears of joy.
I was so moved that I couldn't help myself.
Then without shying away from the eyes of the people around him, he threw himself directly into Hanyu Hideki's arms.
Now, the rumors that she has a relationship with the big boss are confirmed.
As for Hideki Hanyu.
Whether it was rumors or facts, he no longer cared.
Anyway, as long as the cloud system stays on for a day.
He can dominate the neon art world with one hand.
These little people in the crew were so brave that they dared to gossip about him casually.
In Xiangjiang, it takes a lot of effort and a lot of connections to ban someone.
But in Neon, he wanted to block the little people in the entertainment industry, but it was just a matter of words.
"Jingzi, stop crying, everyone is watching."
Hideki Hanyu gently comforted the crying girl.
……
Because of the arrival of Hideki Hanyu.
The wrapping celebration prepared by the crew for Yasuko Sawaguchi ended quickly.
After all, with such a big boss here, it is really difficult for everyone to let go.
The smiles on everyone's faces were countless times faker than when Hanyu Hideki didn't come.
It can only be said that the superior is the superior.
No matter how approachable Hanyu Hideki is on weekdays.
After all, he cannot change his identity and the social culture rooted in neon.
When Yunying Animation was founded, Hideki Hanyu liked to treat his subordinates to dinner when he had nothing to do.
But as the cloud system grows larger and larger, the number of employees has grown from dozens to hundreds, and now to thousands.
If you include cloud satellite TV and third-party labor dispatch employees.
The total number of staff in the entire Yunshang Department has exceeded the five thousand mark.
The story about the boss Hideki Hanyu's love of treating guests to dinner has gradually become a "legend" told by senior employees to show off.
After Hanyu Hideki took away Sawaguchi Yasuko.
The director of photography in the crew, who was affiliated with the Yunying Animation Photography Division, began to tell the story to the people around him.
"You newcomers just don't have enough experience. Don't always listen to the rumors outside. President Hanyu is actually a very friendly person."
At this point, the director of photography put on an expression that reminded him of those days.
"I think back when the club was founded in Shibuya, I was filming a music video with Director Ito that day. The president suddenly came to visit the team and finally treated us to a kaiseki meal worth [-] yen per person..."
The senior veteran who joined Yunying Animation when it was first started told long-lasting stories and immediately attracted many ignorant newcomers to watch.
Some more senior employees who knew the photography director hurriedly stayed away.
After all, anyone who has heard something dozens of times will find it boring.
Not far away, Hitomi Kuroki was sitting on a rest chair.
Having just witnessed everything, she felt mixed feelings in her heart.
When she heard the director of photography's words again, she couldn't help but think to herself.
At that time, Hanyu Hideki probably didn't know her yet, and his public girlfriend was still Matsuzaka Keiko.
That woman did not hesitate to shoot a large-scale movie in order to cooperate with Fukasaku Kinji.
It is no secret in the industry that she gave up on Hideki Hanyu as her boyfriend.
It has also become one of the top stupid decisions in the entertainment industry.
When people in the industry mentioned Keiko Matsuzaka, who would not say that if she had not left Hideki Hanyu in the first place, she would have broken up with Hideki Hanyu even later.
Or maybe the separation is not so complete.
Nowadays, people have to take off their clothes in every movie and gain fame through large-scale performances.
What about the two consecutive Neon Film Academy Awards for Best Actress?
Is it comparable to the support of the entire cloud system?
What happened to Matsuzaka Keiko inevitably reminded Kuroki Hitomi of herself.
At this time, she has a high chance of winning the starring role in another movie after this movie ends.
And it is an adaptation of the original work by the great writer Junichi Watanabe.
But the problem was that after she read the script of that movie, she found that it was a movie on a larger scale than "Dotonbori River" chosen by Keiko Matsuzaka.
So Kuroki Hitomi understands that as long as she chooses this movie.
You must give up some unwilling possibility.
……
Aboard the Mercedes-Benz G-Class leaving the NHK photography base.
Yasuko Sawaguchi, who was delighted with the arrival of Hideki Hanyu, was curiously asking Hideki Hanyu questions.
Later I asked him about things in Xiangjiang.
Later I asked him why his living expenses had increased again.
After a while, I asked him why he bought such a big car.
Anyway, after not seeing each other for so long, the girl had countless things she wanted to say.
After a long time, Hanyu Hideki finally interrupted and asked, "After the filming is over, what will Yasuko plan to do next?"
"Of course I need to take a good rest. I have been working in theaters every day for the past two months and have to sleep in the RV. I don't want to work anymore this year."
Yasuko Sawaguchi said matter-of-factly.
Unlike the goblin who still pursues his career, Yasuko Sawaguchi is a complete lay-off.
When she has time, she would rather practice golf than work.
Such a Showa beauty was completely spoiled by Hanyu Hideki.
After talking about her plan, the girl used a sweet voice to act coquettishly towards Hideki Hanyu.
"I'll stay with Hideki-kun from now on, okay."
When the scumbag heard this, he answered without changing his expression.
"Of course, but I'm still busy with work recently, and you haven't been home to see your parents for a while. Why don't you go back to Osaka to see your parents first? I plan to go to America in a few days, and then I'll take you to Hawaii for vacation. how?"
When she heard that she and Hanyu Hideki could go to Hawaii to spend time together, the girl nodded happily on the spot.
"Okay, then I will go back to Osaka to see my parents and buy them some gifts, and then Hideki-kun will pick me up, okay?"
"no problem."
"But it's definitely too late to leave today. Can Hideki-kun stay with me tonight?"
"sure……"
Faced with the beauty's act of coquettishness, Hideki Hanyu agreed wholeheartedly.
The Mercedes-Benz G changed direction and headed straight for Chiyoda District.
……
The next day.
In a bedroom on the second floor of a house in Chiyoda Ward.
Hanyu Hideki carefully removed Sleeping Beauty's delicate white arms surrounding him.
After returning home yesterday, the beauty, whom he had not seen for a long time, challenged him beyond her own abilities.
As a result, he was taken care of by his family for a while.
early morning.
He woke up in high spirits and refreshed.
But looking at the beauty's sleeping look, it was obvious that she was too tired to wake up for a while.
Call the assistant Ishihara Chie and instruct the other party to do the following.
Help Yasuko Sawaguchi book a Shinkansen ticket to Osaka and prepare the girl’s favorite breakfast.
Then he brought breakfast to wake up Yasuko Sawaguchi, and finally arranged a car to take Yasuko Sawaguchi to take the Shinkansen.
After the explanation, Hanyu Hideki left the house in Chiyoda District and went to Yunshang Entertainment.
Entering the building, he went straight to Asako Hirohashi's office.
After arriving at the office, he saw that Hirohashi Asako was not busy, so he directly informed her that he had gone to see the tokusatsu filming site yesterday.
"How does Hanyu-san feel?"
"It's very good, but Director Ono said that America's special effects director hasn't arrived yet. I didn't expect Asako-san to contact Pixar."
"I didn't know anyone in Hollywood, and it happened that Hanyu-san's studio had experience, so I contacted him by the way. However, they seemed to be too busy. Although they had agreed, they never arranged for anyone to come."
"Don't worry about Asako-san. I contacted Pixar last night and they will arrange for someone to come over as soon as possible."
"That's good." Asako Hirohashi said, pushing a piece of information in front of Hanyu Hideki.
"What is this?" Hanyu Hideki said.
"Hanyu-san said last time that he wanted to cooperate in establishing a stunt training base in Xiangjiang. He asked me to help recommend a person in charge. This is it."
"Oh, let me see."
Hideki Hanyu picked up the document and looked at it, and found that it was a middle-level manager affiliated with Yunying Animation TV Imaging Department, who had previous work experience in Hong Kong.
In terms of qualifications, there are no problems. I have participated in front-line work and have management experience.
Plus, it was recommended by Asako Hirohashi.
He said directly, "No problem, but we need to wait for the time being."
"why."
Hirohashi Asako asked curiously.
Obviously Hanyu Hideki was so anxious before, but now that he had a candidate, he suddenly asked to wait.
"After I met with the action director yesterday, I felt that he was very capable. I intend to bring the group behind him into the stunt base. I need to investigate their information in a short time."
Hanyu Hideki's explanation seems reasonable.
But in fact, I just told Asako Hirohashi.
He probably knew something about Yuan Jiaban.
Relying on Wu Siyuan's support, Yuan Heping transformed from an action director to a director, and produced "Snake" and "Drunken Master", which helped Cheng Long rise to prominence.
After the success of the two films, Yuan Baye, who was unwilling to be a wage earner, established his own "Peace Pictures".
But as an action director, Yuan Baye is extremely talented.
But as a boss and running a film company, this guy really has no talent.
At first, I admired Yuan Richu, but after a few movies, although the movies were still popular, people were tepid.
And because the subject matter he is good at is not popular in the market.
Yuan Heping started to promote Zhenzi Dan again, but his first movie "Laughing Tai Chi" was a hit.
This year, Heping Pictures chose to transform again and created the breakdancing-themed movie "Love Enemies", which will be released next month.
This historically anachronistic film is a flop after it opens next month.
Yuan Heping suffered successive losses and faced debt pressure, so he had to commit "Yuan Family Class" to Debao Pictures.
What Hideki Hanyu was waiting for was actually this opportunity.
Now Debao Films has merged the theater chain into Asian Cinemas.
Hanyu Hideki subscribed for Pan Disheng's company shares.
When the time comes, let Pan Disheng explain that building a stunt training base based on the Yuan Family Class will definitely be much better than just looking for random people.
After all, in this period, Xiangjiang has a famous action team.
Except that the Yuan family was unable to make ends meet due to being tortured by Master Ba.
Others, such as the Hong Family Class and the Married Family Class, are very prosperous, and it is still very difficult to recruit them.
Although Yuan Baye is not good at running a company, he is definitely a leader in the industry when it comes to action guidance.
Ok……
Just invest some money to help the other party pay off their debts.
Maybe the other party can produce that masterpiece early, which will put Heping Pictures out of business.
"Legend of Fire Cloud"
After all, there are still many famous scenes in that movie.
After listening to Hanyu Hideki's explanation, Hirohashi Asako said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you anyway. I don't care how you arrange it."
"I'm doing something, Asako-san, don't worry."
Hanyu Hideki put away the information and prepared to send people to Xiangjiang to make preliminary preparations.
If you want to set up a stunt training base, you must prepare the venue.
Hanyu Hideki's ambitions for this base are not just in the field of action guidance.
He was ready to try out technologies like flying cars, blasting, and miniature models.
Even after Pixar people came to Neon, he planned to set up a computer special effects center in Hong Kong.
The Xiangjiang Film Market is nothing more than a springboard for this comprehensive base.
In addition to the service cloud system.
We are also preparing to serve a larger market in the future.
But there is no need to say these words for the time being, so as not to scare your friends.
The two chatted briefly for a while.
Before Hanyu Hideki left, Hirohashi Asako asked, "After finishing the neon matter, Hanyu-san is planning to go to America."
"Yes, Elf Entertainment will participate in the American Exhibition in April. But before work, I plan to go to Hawaii to rest and buy a vacation place there. I haven't stayed there yet."
Speaking of this, Hanyu Hideki seemed to have thought of something and asked Hirohashi Asako, "Have you heard of the Maldives?"
Hirohashi Asako shook his head, "I've never heard of it. Is there anything special about that place?"
Hideki Hanyu was not surprised by this answer.
After all, although the Maldives began to develop tourism in the 70s, at first it was just for self-entertainment, self-development, and self-recruitment of guests.
Really ushering in rapid development will have to wait until the 90s.
So Hideki Hanyu explained.
"It is an archipelago country with beautiful scenery and a very good environment. It is very suitable for vacation. Unfortunately, the development is very average now. Otherwise, I could buy a few islands for you."
"Very good, then I'll just wait for Hanyu-san to give me the island."
Asako Hirohashi thought Hanyu Hideki was just talking casually, so he agreed casually.
The update is limited to just [-] cases, bro, I think that’s interesting.
