Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 97 The Investigation of Mitomo Iijima

The cooperation plan given by Dongbao Co., Ltd. is very harsh. Dongbao not only requires 70.00% of the investment, but also requires Dongbao to own the film copyright.

In the case that Dongbao already owns the distribution rights, Dongbao takes [-]% of the profits and owns the copyright, so Yunying Pictures is almost a part-time job for Dongbao.

This kind of condition, not to mention Hanyu Hideki disagreed, Ito Shinsuke and his master were too embarrassed to open their mouths, so naturally the negotiation failed in the end.

And the last one to come to the door was Kadokawa Yinghua, who had the lowest qualifications among the top five Neon films.

However, unlike other film companies who came to seek cooperation, Kadokawa Pictures said that it hopes to acquire Yunying Pictures.

And it is not an ordinary shareholding, it is required to account for more than half of the shares, and absolutely control Yunying Pictures.

For this request, Hanyu Hideki refused without thinking.

So far, the five major Neon films have not been discussed, and only Nikkatsu Films remains. However, the other party has been focusing on the field of pornography as early as the 70s and is no longer interested in traditional films.

After a series of contacts, they finally found that the procrastinating Shochiku was the one who offered the best conditions.

Under such circumstances, I can only send Nobusuke Ito to continue the conversation, and it is understandable to be slow. After all, Shochiku is "loved by concubines" with Shinji Fukasaku, and it is normal to ignore them.

Unless they don't want to make money and want to show it in independent theaters, they still have to sit down and chat with several conferences that control the theaters.

However, Hideki Hanyu also told Nobusuke Ito that, when appropriate, he could use other movie clubs as an excuse to give Shochiku a whip or two.

After all, they can't wait for Kinji Fukasaku's film to be finished, and they are considering their cooperation.

Handing over the movie cooperation to Nobusuke Ito, Hideki Hanyu only waited for the news and continued to busy himself with his own affairs.

……

At the same time, in Qinglai City, located in the western part of the Tokyo metropolitan area, after several days of indirect investigation and contact, Santomo Iijima finally found out about the family situation of Nakamori Akina, and also had a good understanding of the family situation of Nakamori Hideki who was favored by Hanyu Hideki. Mingcai has a deeper understanding.

There are eight members in the Nakamori family. His father, Akio Nakamori, and his mother, Chieko Nakamori, raised a total of six children.

Akina Nakamori ranks fifth in the family, followed by Akee Nakamori, Akihiro Nakamori, Akihiro Nakamori, Akihiro Nakamori, Akiko Nakamori, Akiko Nakamori, and Akiho Nakamori, the younger sister behind her.

The eldest sister Minghui is married and just pregnant, and the eldest brother Minghong is also getting married.

The parents' favorite child is the second sister Akiko, and Akina Nakamori is not favored at home.

The Nakamori family's financial situation is very poor. In the early years, they lived by running a butcher shop. Later, when the business was too poor, they changed to a ramen shop, but their income was also mediocre.

Akio Nakamori is an irresponsible father who raises a young wife outside and doesn't make good money on weekdays.

The children in the family are all supported by her mother, Chieko Nakamori. Due to the poor business of the ramen shop, Chieko Nakamori also needs to work extra to subsidize the family.

In Qinglai City in November, the weather is already cool in late autumn.

At noon, Iijima Sanchi put on his coat and went out from the hotel.

She walked on the deserted shopping street, and soon came to Nakamori's ramen shop.

Stretch out your hand to open the noren curtain with the name of the store, and you can smell the strong noodle fragrance when you enter the store.

At this time, there was only one customer in the store, and Akina Nakamori's mother, Chieko Nakamori, was packing the ingredients behind the stove.

Seeing Mitomo Iijima come in, Chieko Nakamori asked with a smile, "Is Iijima-san still the same?"

"Yes."

Mitomo Iijima often comes here to eat ramen recently, and is already familiar with Chieko Nakamori.

"Don't use barbecued pork, add more bean sprouts and dried bamboo shoots, right?"

"Yes." Iijima Sanchi found an empty seat and sat down.

"Iijima-san is so thin, you should eat more meat."

Seeing Santomo Iijima's thin body, Chieko Nakamori couldn't help but persuade her.

"Thank you for your concern. In fact, I have been thin since I was a child, and I can't gain weight without eating anything."

Mitomo Iijima was actually embarrassed to say that it wasn't that she didn't eat meat, but that the char siu pork and pork bone soup made by Chieko Nakamori were a bit greasy, and she couldn't eat them together.

In order to get acquainted with the Nakamori family, Santomo Iijima also worked hard, and came to eat ramen that he didn't like for several days in a row.

Chieko Nakamori was very skillful, and soon a bowl of steaming tonkotsu ramen was ready, but the oil flakes floating on the soup made Iijima Santomo a bit unappetizing.

Inside the stove, Chieko Nakamori shook her head helplessly as she watched Mitomo Iijima eating ramen mechanically.

Chieko Nakamori noticed this young woman who appeared suddenly, and a friend in the shopping street told her that she had been inquiring about their family for a long time.

Chieko Nakamori didn't care about this, after all, as poor as their family, there was nothing worth worrying about by the bad guys.

And the other party didn't seem to hide their intentions. They started coming to their ramen restaurant for dinner a few days ago, and they chatted about something every time they came.

"Mrs. Nakamori, why didn't you see the children at home helping today?"

Sanchi Iijima ate for a while, but none of the children from the Nakamori family appeared, so he asked curiously.

When not going to school on weekdays, the children of the Nakamori family will come to help, and I can see Nakamori Akina from time to time.

Iijima Santomo was very impressed with Nakamori Akina. Compared with his brothers and sisters, Nakamori Akina always worked silently and seriously, and seemed very sensible.

When Akina Nakamori delivered meals to guests, even if they were recognized by the guests as contestants who participated in "A Star Is Born", she would only smile shyly and express her gratitude.

This little girl who participated in "A Star Is Born" three times in order to let her family live a good life, and previously won the highest score in the history of the show after the five-member judge system, is already a well-known celebrity.

"My third daughter, Akina, is about to attend the pre-screening meeting for the Birth of a Star. I asked the children to accompany her to buy a new dress, so that I can make a good impression on the judges and representatives of the record company."

Speaking of Akina Nakamori, Chieko Nakamori smiled.

Chieko Nakamori had a dream of entering the Takarazuka Opera Troupe, but she failed to realize it, so she pinned her hopes on her children, so she trained her three daughters to learn ballet since she was a child.

What Chieko Nakamori didn't expect was that among the three daughters, the one closest to her dream was not her favorite second daughter, Akiko, but the third daughter, Akina, who had never been taken seriously.

"Akina-chan got the highest score before, it's really amazing." Iijima Mitomo said, took out a book from his backpack, and handed it to Chieko Nakamori.

"This book is given to Ming Caijiang as a gift, and I wish her a successful debut."

Chieko Nakamori looked at the book in Mitomo Iijima's hand. The cover was a simple colored pen drawing. A little boy was holding the hand of a stooped old woman.

Next to the colored pencil drawing, there are three words "Love, go home" and the author's name "Hideki Hanyu".
