Chapter 29 Coffee Shop

After class, Kentaro Miyamoto walked a little faster than usual and went straight to an ordinary Starbucks coffee shop nearby.

It wasn't him who decided to meet here on his own initiative, but Hideki Ishihara.As soon as he walked in the door, he saw Hideki Ishihara and Misako Torii staring at each other face to face.

Just when Kentaro Miyamoto stopped and hesitated for a moment, the two of them turned their heads on their necks in unison and looked sideways at him.

Kentaro Miyamoto walked towards them bravely, pulled out a chair from the side, sat down and said: "Sister Misako, hello!"

Misako Torii blurted out: "It's not good at all."

Kentaro Miyamoto said with a half-smile, "You quarreled with Hideki-san again? When you quarreled, don't accidentally hurt me, a friendly force."

Misako Torii said bluntly: "It's nothing. We just had a small disagreement. You came at the right time, let me judge."

Is it our Yamazaki series single malt whiskey that represents the No. 1 and highest craftsmanship of the entire RB whiskey, or is their Karuizawa series single malt whiskey the No. 1 and highest craftsmanship of the entire RB whiskey? "

Miyamoto Kentaro knew that he couldn't simply choose one of the two, so he had to say to Xini: "I don't know, after all, I am not over 20 years old yet, so I can't drink."

Torii Misako said straightforwardly: "Pretend, keep pretending. Even I know that your favorite drink is whiskey. Besides, I haven't seen you drink less at private parties!"

Kentaro Miyamoto smiled bitterly and said: "Sister Misako, please let me go! I can't afford to offend either of you. If I say that your Yamazaki series single malt whiskey is better, then Brother Hideki will not be happy. .

On the other hand, if I say that Hideki’s Karuizawa series single malt whiskey is the best, you will not be happy.If you have internal conflicts and digest them internally, don't involve me, an innocent person, in your internal conflicts. "

Misako Torii suddenly smiled and said, "You are such a clever little kid."

Ishihara Hideki took the initiative to change the topic and said: "Misako, aren't you busy? You can go. Kentaro and I have something serious to talk about."

Torii Misako smiled intentionally at him and said: "I'm suddenly fine again. I'm fully qualified to participate in the serious business you want to talk about. After all, I'm still one of the investors!"

Ishihara Hideki said calmly: "I originally thought you wouldn't be interested!"

Misako Torii is by no means a temporary rise. After all, she invested 2 million yen this time, instead of the million yen level in the past.

Ishihara Hideki's attention fell on Kentaro Miyamoto and said: "If you have any ideas, just tell me."

Kentaro Miyamoto said without any intention of refusing: "Do you know the RB comic "The Abyss of Gambling"?"

Misako Torii and Hideki Ishihara always said in unison with a tacit understanding: "I don't know."

Kentaro Miyamoto did not show any disappointment, but instead began to talk eloquently: "This is one of my favorite comics, and it has also been animated.

In addition, "Gambler" has not only been adapted into a TV series, but also into two movies, both starring Hamabe Minami.You should know this actress, Hamabe Minami, right? "

Misako Torii answered honestly: "I don't know."

Ishihara Hideki said truthfully: "I know that Hamabe Minami is a well-known young RB actress who is very popular at the moment. She is quite popular, especially among teenagers. What you mean is that you want me to shoot "Crazy". The third movie of "The Abyss of Gambling"."

Kentaro Miyamoto snapped his fingers and said: "Bingo, that's what I mean. The comic book "The Abyss of Gambling" has already accumulated a certain fan base.

This, coupled with the popularity of Hamabe Minami, will inevitably make many people willingly enter the cinema. "The Abyss of Gambling" has a good reputation in terms of comic-book animation.

Even if the comic book movie is not satisfactory, it will not be turned into a bad movie.The value of this IP is already there.

If you can make a film that surpasses the results of the first two movies in one fell swoop, then it is not impossible to become an instant hit. "

Hideki Ishihara tilted his body back, leaned back on the chair, crossed his hands in front of him, and fell into thinking.

He understands that one of the benefits of comic book adaptations is that there are traces to be found.This not only provides a reference when writing scripts, but also reduces the workload.

Although he is a director, he is also doing the work of a screenwriter.In the low-budget literary films he shot in the past, he can be said to have worn many hats.

Hideki Ishihara also knows very well that the disadvantage of manga adaptation is that fans will habitually compare it with the original work.

If the changes are done well and are generally recognized by fans of the original work, then it will naturally be a big plus.Otherwise, fans of the original work will criticize you.

Ishihara Hideki said: "Do you still want the original actors of "The Abyss of Gambling"?"

Kentaro Miyamoto said seriously: "It is better to retain the main actors as much as possible, after all, their preconceived impressions have been implanted in the minds of the audience.

In addition to Yumeko Snake Ghoul, the comic characters that left a deep impression on people in "The Abyss of Gambling" include female characters such as the funny Saotome Meari, the little rich woman Queen Itsuki, and the student council president Momogaki Roli.Of course, this is just my opinion. "

Hideki Ishihara looked at Misako Torii and said, "What do you think?"

Torii Misako said without mincing words: "I don't understand this. If you think it's okay, then I don't have any objection."

Ishihara Hideki asked with great interest: "First you kept saying that you were one of the investors. Why, don't you exercise your rights as an investor now?"

Misako Torii once said: "Although I don't know much about the manga "The Abyss of Gambling", Kentaro took the initiative to bring it up, so it can't be wrong.

He is a senior Two-dimensional.As for Hideki, you!If you were asked to make a movie with profound content, it would not be enough.This is a director who dares to shoot this type of film, who is not a middle-aged uncle, and above.

First of all, your social experience and life experience are not enough.Secondly, you are an unknown director with no qualifications in this industry.

Even if veteran actors are hired, there will be 1 dissatisfactions in their hearts.It is not easy for them to perform according to your requirements, and they often only perform a performance according to their ideas.

Finally, risk control is essential.You don’t expect to make money, but you also need to achieve the goal of not losing money.Otherwise, no one will dare to play with you in the future. "
