Golden Age 1990

Chapter 87 Japanese Visitors
"what is this?"

"Shan Kesang, this is from Hong Kong before the New Year."

"Ah? Hong Kong... Could it be..."

"That's right, it's the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" TV series filmed by mainland China as mentioned before."

"This... what! Did you mention it before? Baga!"

Shan Kecheng is the second generation, and now Bandai is under his control. Although his father is still under his name, he should show the momentum he should have.

It has to be said that a height of 160 plus a weight of 160 can really bring a lot of coercion to subordinates.

"Hi! It was our work mistake!"

Obviously this was brought over before the Chinese New Year, you left the company early and didn't read it, but now you come here to scold people.

However, these complaints from subordinates can only be held in their stomachs.

Yamashina could tell at a glance that this painting still had the 'potential' of this photo.

This is Guan Yunchang at all!
The key is that the photos are real people, and the painting must be drawn according to the photos of real people.

There is actually someone who can grow up like this, exactly like the legendary Guan Yunchang.

Well, if this character can be made into a figure, there must be a market.

But... Shan Kecheng began to rummage down.

In Japan, there is actually no controversy about the most popular Three Kingdoms figures.

It's Cao Mengde.

That's right, Boss Cao is the most popular.

Ranking second and third are Guan Yu and Lu Bu. Probably Lu Bu can be higher on some lists.

Anyway, this is the case on their side, especially the admiration for Lu Bu.

It may have something to do with the fact that people in this country are more aggressive. Although Lu Bu is a domestic slave with the third surname, his personal martial arts are very powerful.

What the Japanese admire is his strength.

and so……

Not bad!

Shan Kecheng saw the photos and portraits of Cao Cao and Lu Bu, and he felt very emotional.

This Cao Mengde seems to be a little shorter, but he is very imposing, it doesn't matter, he made it taller when making figures.

Lu Bu is great.

Looking at his face, it really feels that way.

This is a TV series produced by a Chinese TV station, that is to say, it is absolutely authentic.

It has an extra layer of halo than TV series produced in Japan or anything else.

in this way……

"Bring these things here..."

"The Hong Kong side said that they want to discuss cooperation with us and see if we can do some peripheral things."

"So, isn't this TV series from their China?"

"Yes, but we heard that it seems that our TV station really wants to introduce this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"."

"really?"

"It should be true. After all, I heard that the Chinese side invested a lot in this TV series, and the scene is very grand."

"oh, I see……"

There was a light of wisdom in Shan Kecheng's eyes, at least he thought so.

"Speaking to Hong Kong, if this TV series can be broadcast in Japan, then we will cooperate with them and produce figures, which will naturally sell well."

It should be said that the rich second generation of Bandai has good ideas.

However, the subordinate immediately said: "San Kesang, in fact, the information given by the Hong Kong side is like this."

"what?"

"If it is confirmed that this TV series will be broadcast on a certain big TV station, then...the price will be different."

"what……"

Shan Kecheng did not expect such a change.

"What's their price now?"

In fact, Shan Kecheng shouldn't ask this question, because it is in the information given to him, but this guy didn't read it before the Chinese New Year.

The subordinate held his breath and had to say it again, "The Hong Kong side said: This TV series "Three Kingdoms" has 12 protagonists, and each of these 12 protagonists costs 100 million yen."

100?
The license fee is really low.

Now it is at the stage of the bursting of the economic bubble, the total price is 1200 million yen, the profit margin of the figure, and various expenses of the company, all of which are added...

"Then...did they say the price after confirming the TV station?"

The subordinate shook his head.

In fact, how to say this matter, it is definitely not sure.

Shan Kecheng turned his head, thought for a while, and felt that this business could be a good one.

"Hmph! Those guys set the price so high, it's really unreasonable!"

Yes, he intends to use his momentum to get the other party to lower the price.

The subordinate was sweating a little on his forehead, but he still said, "San Kesang plans to go to Hong Kong?"

"Right on my mind!"

……

CCTV's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" TV series has not only attracted great attention from Bandai.

It has been targeted by NHK early in the morning.

"This is an important project hosted by my old friend, Mr. Wang Fulin!"

Matsumoto was just getting the position of vice president not long ago, and he planned to do something big.

It seems that every vice president or president of NHK has such ambitions, but it is not easy.

Mainly NHK, a TV station, is really weird.

If it were a national television station, that would be true, but it seemed a bit unjustified.

However, it is not the kind of commercial TV station, after all, we are higher than them.

CCTV's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" TV series has been in contact since the end of last year.

Matsumoto also followed Kakuei Tanaka to visit China at the beginning, and met Wang Fulin at that time.

At that time, the two worked well together, and this time there is another great TV series.

Let's work together again.

It's just that after the new year, something went wrong.

"However, this drama seems to have many conditions."

"so what!"

Matsumoto is full of momentum, he has already determined that he must win this drama.

"The Chinese side needs a very good translation from us."

Yes, this is a necessary condition.

No matter what TV station you have in Japan, you must translate this drama well. If you don't make such a commitment, then don't have any extravagant expectations for this drama.

It was actually Matsumoto's 'political enemy' who was on stage to stop the show.

Well, NHK is a very political place too.

"Isn't this the sincerity we should show!"

Matsumoto felt that translation was not a problem at all.

The political opponent is called Dashan Tetsuya, and his purpose is to use any method as long as it can prevent the opponent from making achievements.

"But it costs money! Add in the money to buy TV dramas, and our cost will be very high!"

What he said made sense.

But Matsumoto has a very powerful reason.

"The cost is high? So, let me ask, can NHK alone produce such a grand TV series? Can our Dahe drama work?"

As soon as these words came out, Da Shan really shut up.

A historical drama shot in real locations like this really costs a lot of money.

It's not that Japan has never filmed, such as Akira Kurosawa.

His classic movie "Lan" was indeed well shot, but it also took ten years for this movie.

A lot of big scenes, really, really tough.

Actually, as far as Japan is concerned, there are not many horses, but Akira Kurosawa insisted on filming a scene of tens of thousands of horses running together in order to pursue the real scene.

That is, many rich people donated their favorite horses at that time, that is, those racehorses, which were very expensive and made money for them.

As a result, after a scene was filmed, many horses were lost, and many rich people were in a hurry.

That is to say...

"Admit it! We in Japan simply don't have the environment for filming such a big production!"

Matsumoto is full of momentum, and it seems that he has convinced his colleagues and political opponents.

But at this time, a subordinate sent a message.

"NTV has just sent people to Hong Kong!"

As soon as the news came out, everyone including Matsumoto was taken aback.

NTV is Nippon Television, and the capital behind it is the original Shochiku and Yomiuri Shimbun.

You must know that Japanese newspaper groups are very powerful. According to the development of the times, the paper media must be on the decline, but Japan is different.

The newspaper group directly participates in the construction of the TV station by virtue of its financial advantages.

The Tokyo Broadcasting Union, that is, apart from NHK, the TV station in Yoyogi Park, those gathered in Odaiba, including Fuji, NTV, TBS, Asahi, TV Tokyo, etc., behind them are actually newspaper groups, as well as large movie company.

And NTV has always had a strong competitive relationship with NHK.

To put it simply, during the Chinese New Year, except for TV Tokyo, which will strengthen their late-night large-scale dramas, other companies have programs that they can take advantage of.

NHK is the Red and White Song Festival, NTV controls Hakone Ekiden, and TBS starts with music and organizes the Japan Record Awards...

Among them, NTV's Hakone Ekiden has a very high ratings. Although it has not been able to surpass the Kohaku Utakai, it is not too bad.

Now that NTV has received rumors, it plans to go to Hong Kong to get CCTV's "Three Kingdoms" one step ahead, so as to gain the lead in ratings?

Can't let this happen!
Otherwise, how could Japanese citizens pay the fee willingly!
Yes, NHK does not broadcast advertisements, so their operating expenses are collected from the people. They have toll collectors who knock on doors from door to door, as long as they have a TV at home.

Sorry, you have to pay a fee... This is even protected by Japanese law.

So...

"Everyone! We must formulate a complete battle plan!"

"Yes! You must grab "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!"

Good guy, this group of people turned out to be passionate!
……

Hong Kong.

What happened between Bandai and NHK and NTV, of course no one here knows.

However, there is one Japanese who has arrived early.

He also came here for "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and he didn't come for the broadcast of any TV series, he wanted to talk about other cooperation.

Similar to Shan Kecheng, he saw the photo and the portrait.

I just feel blood boiling.

Sure enough, our game is still not good enough!

This person is Eikawa Yoichi. He has a company called Glory, which has already produced the "Three Kingdoms" game.

The previous games were actually very successful, but what if we could add exquisite original paintings of generals of the Three Kingdoms to the new work?

It's like appointing Guan Yu to play, and then showing a picture of Guan Yu...

It must be great!

It's just that Yoichi Erikawa doesn't know who is waiting for him at all...
