Golden Age 1990

Chapter 146 Nakayama Shinobu, do you want some advice on life? (nearly 6000 words)
She is indeed a beautiful witch.

It is indeed very different.

Of course, Bai Feng would not waste any time on this woman, Kuromu Tong.

Of course, Kuroki Hitomi didn't think there was any problem with this.

After talking to the old man Watanabe Junichi, it didn't take long for the old man to agree to Bai Feng's conditions.

This speed was already very fast, although Bai Feng still felt that Kuromu Tong's tongue was faster.

In fact, it was really easy for him to settle this matter.

The IP industry in Japan is doing well, and the protection of the original version is very good, which leads to the low price of novel adaptation.

Even for a top novelist like Junichi Watanabe, the copyright adaptation will not exceed 100 million yen.

This can be regarded as a rule. Of course, novelists mainly make money through adaptation, which is equivalent to advertising the novel, and the sales of the novel increase significantly.

The film and television producers also know that the money they give is not much, so they will transfer some power.

Such as casting.

But in fact, this casting power is a very thief transfer.

To put it bluntly, during the casting process, how did the original author determine the person he wanted to star?
It's very simple. He just expresses his opinions on the casting to the media. If he is not satisfied with the selection of a certain role, he can just say so directly.

This is really great. The author has expressed such an opinion, so fans of the book will basically agree with it.

This casting is almost equivalent to losing the fan base of the original novel.

Originally, when adapting a novel, we mainly focus on two aspects. One is the original exciting plot of the novel, and the other is the readership and fan base of the novel.

Obtaining the original party is really very important.

You know, the right of veto is the real power, just like the five major powers in a certain place have a veto.

Therefore, the power of casting is originally in the hands of the original author and does not need to be given at all.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the original author will not say too much.

But that’s the truth.

As for these film and television production companies in Japan, Shochiku, Toho and major TV stations, they give this power to the author, and then they make less money.

In this aspect of the author...in fact, everyone knows it.

But now, Bai Feng's appearance will not have much impact on Watanabe Chunyi.

Originally, Bai Feng also wanted to cooperate with Dongbao, but Bai Feng could have an extra overseas channel in terms of operation.

Therefore, as long as Junichi Watanabe is not stupid, this cooperation will definitely be achieved.

As for... there are actually fools, such as some stubborn right-wingers. Those guys are just like stones in the toilet.

And when it comes to discovering some new authors and their novels... there is simply no difficulty for Bai Feng.

He just said a name.

Keigo Higashino.

This novelist...

In fact, generally speaking, Keigo Higashino is not that miserable now.

He has not yet fallen to the level of a miserable novelist who cannot afford to eat. However, Bai Feng remembers that in the past two years, Keigo Higashino's wife wanted to divorce him.

In Japan, [-]% of divorces are caused by the husband's inability to provide sufficient financial support to the family.

Okay, ninety-nine percent.

Because in this country, cheating on a husband or stealing from a wife is not a big deal, even for celebrities.

There is also that joke about the wife giving her husband pocket money to let him find women.

It’s actually a bit of a lie. In Japan in this era, husbands really have very little pocket money when they go out... This is a social creature. It’s probably good to have lunch money in your pocket and go to an izakaya for a drink before get off work. .

Therefore, Keigo Higashino's wife is running away, which explains the problem.

But to be honest, Keigo Higashino is very capable. He won the Ranpo Prize in 85. This is the top configuration for a mystery novelist to debut.

That "After School" was also adapted into a film and television drama, but it was still the same, and he was not paid much.

After that, his works were adapted one after another. Although he is not very famous, generally speaking, he is not really the kind of writer who throws his hat into the ring.

But looking at it on the other hand, even if his works can be adapted, the income will not increase much.

It’s also a bit miserable.

However, Keigo Higashino is definitely a novelist worth discovering.

He is still not lucky enough to become popular.

Bai Feng remembered that this guy became popular because of a funny novel called "Rules for a Detective". This novel is just complaining about the crime-solving methods in many mystery novels.

It's completely an anti-routine work.

In fact, he was about to collapse, so he just let himself go and wrote randomly.

This is definitely an advantage for Bai Feng. He only needs to provide the name and then make up some reasons, such as that he is very interested in "After School".

Then just wait and make money.

Make money back to China from Japan.

Isn't it beautiful!

In this way, everything is settled, and Bai Feng's job of discovering writers is also simple.

Then he has to do something else.

……

Tokyo, Shibuya.

Here is the busiest intersection in the world, which is trumpeted every day by the Japanese media.

Anyway, when I took the photo, there were indeed quite a lot of people.

Not far away is the statue of the loyal dog Hachiko, and then there are many well-known department stores.

For example, Seibu Department Store.

As far as Japan's economic bubble is concerned, one of the focuses is Seibu.

The owner of Seibu Department Store was originally the largest commercial real estate developer in Japan, and his family owned quite a lot of land.

Not just department stores, but also hot spring resort hotels, golf courses and so on.

In fact, as far as department stores are concerned, this really does not lose money.

In this era, there is no e-commerce, let alone Japan, which will defeat e-commerce in the future, so department stores are really profitable.

Losing money is lost on things like golf courses.

The background is that Japan has become rich, and has begun to pretend to consume in various ways, and a trend of consumerism has been formed.

Therefore, Japan, which has only a small number of places, began to develop this kind of golf course. The requirements for this thing are not low. The key is that the distance must be far.

The boss of Seibu acquired a lot of land. In Japan, asset prices have skyrocketed due to the entry of foreign capital.

There was a time when the boss of Seibu was the richest man in the world.

When the economic bubble burst and foreign capital fled, the boss became the world's first liability.

Few people go to those resorts and golf courses. Not to mention the distance from the city, the cost is still high.

Right now, economic magazines are reporting on him, saying that he owes the largest debt in human history.

However, the article also pointed out that this guy's current life is still very luxurious, and it is completely invisible that he owes so much debt.

In fact, when it comes to debt, a certain belt is quite interesting.

Many people don't know what is going on with a certain belt. Maybe when they hear that a certain university owes so much money, they think that a certain belt also owes a lot of money.

This is wrong, because the operation here is very coquettish.

A certain university does owe money, but who is one of the big creditors?
It's a certain belt.

To put it simply, he used the company's money to buy bonds issued by his company through some means.

That's right, if you buy your own company's bonds, don't you become a creditor?

Moreover, this behavior is reasonable and legal, and there is no problem at all.

Regarding this operation, I don’t know what the current Seibu boss would think if he knew about it.

Of course, Bai Feng came to Shibuya not to see the loyal dog Hachiko, nor to buy anything in Seibu Mall.

He is going somewhere.

As soon as you come to Shibuya, you will feel that Japan is still very dynamic.

Yes, even if this country has entered an aging society, you will never feel it here.

At a glance, almost all of them are young people.

Because there are many artists' offices in this place, such as the very famous Johnny.

Of course, the current Johnny's is just an ordinary two-story building, which looks very hard and simple.

But Bai Feng knew very well that this was just to cheat fans out of money.

As for the boss of this firm...who knows who this old guy is praising.

Forget it, it has nothing to do with me.

Because there are many entertainment agencies, Japanese young people who pursue their dreams like to gather here. Many of them were sent by their parents since they were young, in order to become idols.

Therefore, there are many training courses here.

Bai Feng doesn't know exactly what the places in Japan are called, but they are basically places with very eye-catching appearances.

Compared to the Seibu Department Store, there are busy intersections, large billboards around it, and a bustling scene.

But in these training classes not far away, there are dance classes, performance classes, and so on.

Basically, it is crowded in a very ordinary small building.

It's really crowded.

It's like Jimbocho in Tokyo, where books are sold, there are many, many bookstores, and the crowd is unimaginable.

There are 18 bookstores in a five-story building, like this.

It's similar here. There are many classrooms in one small building, and many people are practicing.

Bai Feng walked into a small building and went up the stairs. Not long after, he saw a dance classroom.

A class had just ended, and a group of people from Wuyang Wuyang came out.

They are all young, and it is difficult to judge how tall each one is, but the youthful atmosphere is still quite strong.

However, one person did not leave, she was a girl.

The girl was still dancing in front of the mirror.

Bai Feng's angle was relatively good. Although the girl was facing the mirror, she couldn't see him for the moment.

As a result, Bai Feng became an audience.

But it didn't take long for him, the audience, to want to give a bad review.

This girl is not thin, but rather fat. Especially when she is wearing training clothes, her legs look thicker.

But her face is indeed pretty good, pure and cute, with delicate brows and three-dimensional facial features.

It can be danced...

Can't say it's bad, but there's always something wrong.

It can be seen that he has some skills, but unfortunately, he is probably a little fat and the beauty of his movements is not enough.

She probably sees and feels it herself, so she is always dissatisfied.

She was already sweating a lot, but she continued to dance after class, which made her sweat even more.

Totally sweaty.

Bai Feng watched from the side. He felt that he could not continue to watch like this.

Otherwise, people would be sweating profusely, right?

"Ahem..." The guy coughed.Only then did the girl become alert. She had indeed been too involved just now.

As a result, looking at it like this... the look on his face turned ugly.

"Bai Sang?"

"It's me, that...Miss Zhongshan, I think you should take a break."

Yes, this girl is Nakayama Shinobu.

According to general logic, it is normal for an artist to learn to dance.

Although Nakayama Shinobu may have danced too hard, it was considered normal.

Then why did you, Bai Feng, appear?

"How did you come?"

Of course he had to stop, and Nakayama Shinobi immediately put on his clothes.

When I was practicing before, my clothes were too tight.

This guy must have seen it all.

Feeling inexplicably embarrassed and blushing.

Bai Feng really wasn't that kind of person, he was just... careless.

But now, Bai Feng actually hopes that Nakayama Shinobu will not continue dancing.

"I heard before that you have been practicing recently. I felt a little strange, so I came here."

What’s weird about practice?
Isn't Nakayama Shinobu an artist?

However, when Bai Feng said this, Nakayama Shinobi was really angry.

"What's weird about this? You're the weird one, okay?"

Bai Feng pointed out the key point directly, "Well... I admit, you are indeed quite dedicated, but you really don't need to dance so hard right now."

dedicated?

Were you praised?

Nakayama Shinobu couldn't tell the difference for a moment, but it seemed okay.

But what's with this guy Bai Feng's weird expression?

You have to ask clearly.

"What do you mean you don't need it?"

This is critical.

Bai Feng was actually a little embarrassed for a moment because it was not easy to talk about this matter.

Fortunately, this product is relatively good at talking.

"Before, it seemed that you started practicing because of our movie, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Nakayama Shinobu didn't want to admit it.

"No, I actually feel that my strength is not enough. I want to improve myself."

deny?
Bai Feng wanted to laugh even more, "Really? Then, why are you practicing as soon as the preparations for "Fist of Heroes" have begun?"

"Who, who said that?" Zhongshan Ren didn't dare to look at Bai Feng.

Not bad, Bai Feng could still hold back his laughter, "Okay, even if you didn't prepare for this movie."

Nakayama Ren said unhappily: "It is."

Bai Feng nodded, but continued: "We don't care if we are preparing for this movie or not, but I'm just here to tell you that as far as this movie is concerned, it is indeed a very powerful action movie, in the traditional sense. The martial arts action movies on the Internet are really based on action scenes as their selling point.

However, your role does not require any skills at all. In other words, your dance training is completely wrong.

If there is no need, you can use this time to do other things. "

"..." When Nakayama Shinobi heard this, she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.

what's the situation?
Is your training in vain?
No, no, it can’t be said that it’s a waste of time, anyway, it’s good for me.

It must be said that Nakayama Shinobi is still very good at comforting himself.

Indeed, as Bai Feng said, Nakayama Shinobu has been practicing dance hard recently to prepare for the movie "Fist of Heroes".

This time I have to collaborate with The Kung Fu Emperor. This movie is definitely a martial arts action movie.

As the heroine of the movie, Nakayama Shinobu really didn't know any martial arts moves before, and he really didn't have any skills in this area.

But fortunately, I practiced dancing when I was a child. Although my practice was relatively average, I was still somewhat good at it.

Nakayama Shinobu is still very smart. He knows that if he has a foundation in dance, it will be much easier when filming action scenes.

After all, I am working with the Kung Fu Emperor this time, and his martial arts action scenes are so good. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if I couldn’t complete the martial arts action scenes while filming?
So, let’s practice hard.

It turns out that after practicing like this... I turned out to be a lot worse!

There is a feeling of being older.

Nakayama Shinobi is not yet [-] this year, how can he bear this feeling?

Just practiced harder.

She also discovered her shortcomings... she was fat.

Well, to be precise, after entering the entertainment industry, she also had to take care of her studies. She was too busy. As for performing and singing, she appeared in front of the audience like a puppet.

Is this possible without gaining weight?

In fact, there are many things in the Japanese entertainment industry that emphasize singing and dancing, and it is indeed not easy to gain weight.

But Nakayama Shinobu's character is that of a big star sister, a good baby, but whenever she appears, she is dressed like a doll.

Not the singing and dancing type at all.

If you want to change it now...it seems quite difficult.

No matter what, let’s dance first and practice hard, at least until this martial arts action movie is filmed well.

The result...isn't necessary?
This guy Bai Feng came here just to tell her this.

"This, this..." After working hard for a long time, a person found that he was going in the wrong direction. This was really shocking.

Bai Feng spread his hands, which means, I didn't let you practice.

Zhongshan couldn't bear this anger, "You did it on purpose!"

Good guy, the lady is getting angry.

Bai Feng couldn't help it anymore and laughed, "Okay, I did it on purpose. But, Miss Zhongshan, I also saw your efforts, it's great."

With these words...for a moment, Nakayama Shinobi felt like he was being healed.

that……

"What is this movie like?" If I had known better, I would have asked it clearly from the beginning.

In fact, the script over there is about to be delivered, and the shooting is just around the corner.

Bai Feng came here this time because he asked about Nakayama Shinobi's recent situation. He... this guy actually just wanted to laugh.
However, seeing how hard he worked, his mood changed.

Now, I was inexplicably moved by this girl.

it's wired.

"Okay, let me tell you in detail. In short, your role is... pretend to be cute, be cute, be as cute as possible, that's all."

Do you need to say this three times?

Isn't it just cute?
Nakayama Shinobi became even more angry, "Then you didn't tell me earlier!"

Yes, isn't this how she has always been?
But when I think of it...

"It's so boring."

Nakayama Shinobu actually said this.

After Bai Feng heard this, he felt that this was an opportunity.

"You want to change? Change your personality?"

Nakayama Ren couldn't believe that the other party could understand her mood.

"me……"

It sounds simple, but in the Japanese entertainment industry, changing a person's personality is really not something that can be done easily.

Some people have done it, but doing it is rather strange.

Just like Seiko Matsuda, the top idol in the 80s, she became very popular as soon as she debuted.

Some even hit her while she was singing.

why?
Such a cute girl, why are you hitting her?

That person said, just to be famous.

Beat her up and I'll be famous.

Seiko Matsuda was beaten more than once, and he was pretty bad when he thought about it.

However, the originally innocent idol, slowly, everyone discovered that she seemed...a bit slutty.

It's not even a little bit. It was later exposed that there were all kinds of cheating after marriage.

She got married in 85, when Akina Nakamori was at her strongest.

In fact, Matsuda Seiko got married too early, and he made this decision entirely because he could not compete with Nakamori Akina.

As a result, I was so flirtatious later... I found that everyone liked it quite a bit.

As a result, Seiko Matsuda has a rather special personality.

Pretend to be serious.

For example, she was photographed with a pure face, but the dancers around her were all muscular beauties. They wore little vests and made very sexy movements.

Not to mention, Matsuda Seiko actually became popular again, especially Nakamori Akina fell into a trough again because of a super scumbag.

This is a very successful transformation, but this transformation is too weird.

Most people can’t learn it.

If it falls on Nakayama Shinobu, how can she transform?
Bai Feng looked at this girl, open her mouth to speak but at a loss for words, and inexplicably his heart moved.

"I can help you."

"what?"

Nakayama Ninja was stunned.

Bai Feng continued: "You probably don't know who I am. I am indeed an advertising person, but I also provide a lot of advice on life.

In fact, I have successfully helped many people, and they have all embarked on the road to success.

I call it marketing about life.

Now, I can help you. "

Well, I, Bai Feng, have expanded the business of marketing life overseas!

Is Nakayama Shinobu the first business partner?
"This..." Nakayama Ren was greatly shocked.

Should you accept this man's advice?

Of course, Nakayama Shinobi still doesn't know that the people Bai Feng gave advice to before are all beauties...

Never mind, try it!

Nakayama Shinobi asked, "Then I..."

Bai Feng gave her a suggestion before she could finish speaking.

Just two words.

"growing up."

Nakayama Shinobu was stunned on the spot.

　Thank you everyone, today is a little early, and a new month has begun. I will try my best to keep [-] updates per day!
