National Tide 1980

All events have inertia. Once a new general trend is formed, everything will intensify according to the new trend.

In the days that followed, reporters from various media outlets were like chicken blood, adding fuel to their reports.

The various grievances Keiko Matsumoto suffered some time ago are vividly written, providing a profound analysis for the Japanese people.

It also successfully established the image of an innocent actress who was dragged into the whirlpool of scandal, but had no intention of defending her, but wholeheartedly pursued progress in her acting career, and established it in the minds of the Japanese people.

Especially in order to get inside information about how Matsumoto Keiko negotiated an advertising endorsement contract with Pierre Cardin, how she bought Fog Studios, and how she negotiated good terms with several Chinese studios.

These reporters even tried their best to get close to everyone related to Matsumoto Keiko.

So much so that in addition to Matsumoto Keiko herself, even Akira Okamoto and Mitsuru Watabe have become the favorites in the eyes of reporters who need to be tracked and interviewed every day. In Matsumoto Keiko's personal office and the office of Fog Studio, the phone rings from seven o'clock in the morning to ten o'clock in the evening.

However, since many situations were not suitable to be announced, Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko had already issued orders to guard against the situation, and none of these media outlets were able to get what they wanted.

In the end, some reporters were cornered and had no choice but to target interviews with Matsumoto Seicho, the original owner of Fog Studios, director Yoshitaro Nomura, and Shochiku Pictures' president Omoto.

In order to dig out something slightly relevant, so as to add some icing on the cake, to deal with my editor-in-chief and curious readers.

Some people even went to ask the Japanese Pierre Cardon Co., Ltd., which was out of reach, causing a fire at the city gate and damaging the fish in the pond.

As a result, the Japanese pilcardon branch suffered a lot of harassment, which even affected the company's normal operation.

The Japanese side could not help but complain a lot about this and contacted Ning Weimin to complain.

There is no way, Keiko Matsumoto is the only one who is popular right now. If reporters don’t write about her, who will they write about?

Needless to say, Matsumoto Keiko and Ning Weimin are really at ease at this time.

At present, apart from having to avoid being tracked by reporters, their lives are basically normal and their mentality has returned to relaxation and peace.

Because this increase in exposure is very different from the previous wave of attacks that added insult to injury.

It's the complete opposite of the two worlds of ice and fire.

But the two of them were not the happiest yet.

The happiest person is actually that he regards Matsumoto Keiko as the leader of the rice team and a group of people who rely on her to make a living.

For example, in the Fog Film Factory they acquired, the former employees were very happy.

No one is dissatisfied with the change of owners.

After all, it took more than a day or two for the studio to get to this point.

Those who can stay are those who have their own difficulties and cannot find another job.

Although they have great respect and affection for Matsumoto Seiharu, they have long given up hope that the studio can revive in the hands of Matsumoto Seiharu.

Now that Keiko Matsumoto has taken over, the salary owed by Seicho Matsumoto has been settled, everyone's jobs have been saved, and new jobs have been opened, and it is a large-scale production with an investment of one billion yen!

Isn't this a good thing?

No matter what the final box office is, as long as you participate in the filming of such a big-budget movie, it is a qualification that can be used in the industry.

Even if you need to change jobs in the future, the road you can take will be wider.

What's more, the director Yoshitaro Nomura hired by Keiko Matsumoto is still their old boss.

There’s nothing uncomfortable about working, so what’s there to find fault with?

Everyone knows that Matsumoto Keiko avoided the closure of the studio.

She is not only the savior of Fog Studios, but also the savior of all of them, so she must support her.

Compared with these people, the ones who are even more effervescently beautiful are the employees of Keiko Matsumoto's office.

Because their interests and emotions belong to the same camp as Matsumoto Keiko, they are almost the same.

If Keiko Matsumoto's stardom is bleak, their future will be hopeless.

But in turn, they can be protected and fly together.

It's a matter of both prosperity and loss.

So watching Keiko Matsumoto finally escape from the quagmire, their mood also went from hell to heaven.

Especially the fact that wages can be increased by 10% makes them feel that they are with the right person.

I feel that Keiko Matsumoto is really a boss who is nostalgic for old friendships, and there is a clear difference between them and outsiders.

Otherwise, why would we have given everyone a salary increase before the agency merged with Fog Studios?

This is great, not only will the half-year bonus that is coming soon be much larger, it will be enough for them to face their family and friends with dignity.

And when they think that they are the boss's cronies, they feel a sense of pride in their hearts as direct troops.

Even if the agency were to merge with the studio, they would have nothing to fear from the formal studio employees, and instead would feel overwhelmingly superior.

Who is not nepotistic?

From now on, we talents will be the main force of the studio. If we work hard, we will definitely be promoted to management positions.

Grassroots employees have the same pursuits as grassroots employees, and their minds are inevitably a bit simpler.

For Akira Okamoto and Mitsuru Watanabe, two people who have benefited substantially, it is another kind of complicated and inexplicable ecstasy.

As they took over the entire management of Fog Film Factory, both of them truly felt what it felt like to have one person attain the Tao, a chicken or a dog ascend to heaven.

Apart from anything else, if you appear in front of strangers and show your new business card, no matter who you are, you have to be somewhat respectful.

What is the identity of a project executive and financial supervisor of a studio?

No matter how small a studio is, they are still in the management positions of regular companies.

Not to mention those actors, models and their agents who have sneaked into the entertainment industry and are rushing to curry favor.

Even the reporters from the sports tabloids have changed from their usual scornful attitude and are asking them for news in a friendly manner.

Even when they returned to the big shipyard of Shochiku Pictures, they were no longer inferior to others, but felt quite proud and happy.

You know, not many of their past colleagues have ever held management positions.

Today, they are no longer the same and need to be looked at with new eyes.

After all, he is still a senior executive of the studio, and his income is more than double that of his original colleagues.

This is enough to prove that it was wise for them to choose to follow Keiko Matsumoto and leave, and they inadvertently completed a jump in the industry level.

Isn't this enough for them?

Of course, this also proves that the man Matsumoto Keiko likes is indeed a super invincible golden thigh.

Ning Weimin must also obey his words, hug him tightly, and never let go until death.

They had to admire how lucky and discerning their proprietor was.

In the sea of ​​thousands of people, you can find such a diamond king who wants to be talented, good-looking, rich, and passionate.

Who else can do such a thing except "Japan's most beautiful woman"?

Of course, in addition to this, there are some people who have also benefited greatly from this matter.

For example, Yoshitaro Nomura thinks he is responsible for the impending bankruptcy of Fog Studios and his career as a director has almost ended.

He never expected that at the insistent request of his friend Matsumoto Seicho, the two people who spent a lot of money to buy Fog Studios would be willing to give him the opportunity to direct.

And it's not just perfunctory, it's giving a lot of trust.

Let him direct a film with such a large investment and such social influence.

So he really burst into tears with gratitude, used all his skills, made use of all his contacts, and determined to make this movie well so that he could make a turnaround.

And his mentality of protecting his reputation also made him empathize with what happened to Keiko Matsumoto some time ago.

Although the sixty-seven-year-old director does not know what is going on with the public opinion storm about Matsumoto Keiko.

But empathy, gratitude, and vital interests were enough for him to decide to stand by Keiko Matsumoto's side without reservation.

Similarly, there is Ryoko Ishida, a common friend of Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko.

Ryoko Ishida, who has been ashamed for not standing up to support Keiko Matsumoto and telling the truth, never expected that Ning Weimin and Keiko Matsumoto would be the first actors invited to film the movie "Li Xianglan" she.

Not only did they give her a catalog of all important female roles for her to choose from, but they also offered her an extraordinary salary of 15 million yen.

For this reason, her agent was extremely excited and danced with joy to congratulate her on having established a firm foothold in the Japanese film industry.

She also said that if this movie is really successful, her net worth will be raised to another level in the future and she will become a real first-line actress in the Japanese film industry.

As for Ishida Ryoko himself, he was deeply moved and conflicted.

On the one hand, I am happy that I have found a true close friend in the entertainment industry, and I feel that the fate between the three of them is really wonderful.

On the other hand, she regretted not being able to help Matsumoto Keiko more and blamed herself. She felt that she was really cowardly and failed to fulfill her obligations as a friend.

In the end, all these emotions turned into motivation for work.

She decided to go all out to study Yamaguchi Yoshiko's autobiography and carefully figure out the needs of the character to help the two friends complete the film.

Also full of contradictions is Junichi Sakimoto, the president of Shochiku Pictures.

As the man who single-handedly cultivated Keiko Matsumoto into a top actress in Shochiku Movies, he has a certain fatherly feeling towards Keiko Matsumoto.

Seeing Keiko Matsumoto's popularity in Japan, he was very happy for Keiko Matsumoto's career achievements, and he was quite happy that "I have a daughter in my family who has just grown up."

At the same time, I also have a headache because Matsumoto Keiko is becoming more and more full-fledged, eager for freedom, and increasingly stubborn and stubborn.

Some time ago, he supported Fukasaku Kinji and defeated Matsumoto Keiko.

In addition to the reasons of profit, there is also no "father" who wants to teach his "daughter" a lesson and hopes that his "daughter" can become well-behaved and obedient again.

However, the degree of subsequent development was somewhat beyond his expectation. It was indeed not what he really wanted to suppress Matsumoto Keiko to that extent.

To be honest, through this incident, he took excessive measures against Kinji Fukasaku for his own initiative.

I am very dissatisfied with this guy who is so proud of his talent and has been using the film's box office to kidnap his own interests.

I also feel more and more that Fukasaku Kinji is like an underfed wolf - he is obviously a director trained by Shochiku Pictures, but he has no gratitude for Shochiku's cultivation, and he only cares about profits and not people.

For this reason, he inevitably felt regret and wondered whether he had done something wrong.

Originally, he was not a strong-willed and decisive person, and he was self-aware.

When he was able to take over the position of president, he had to resign, but he reluctantly resigned because he was popular and was the only candidate that could be accepted by all parties within Shochiku.

At this time, I couldn't help but sigh again, feeling that I really shouldn't have taken over in the first place and that I had failed the old president Shiro Kido's trust.

There are too many problems in Songzhu today, and it is no longer possible for him to maintain them.

But just when he was feeling sorry for himself.

But he was surprised to find that Keiko Matsumoto had single-handedly achieved a comeback in public opinion.

Moreover, he also placed a cooperation contract in front of him that offered huge benefits but no risks.

What else could he think? How to choose?

In addition to feeling that Matsumoto Keiko has vast magical powers and is becoming more and more capable, it is indeed difficult to control her by force.

He also felt relieved and relieved by this "daughter"'s magnanimity regardless of past grudges.

This was an obvious attempt to ease the relationship and deliberately sent him money.

At this time, if he doesn't learn a lesson and doesn't cherish Matsumoto Keiko's proactive overture, then he will be an ignorant fool.

So he was not going to have any grudges with Matsumoto Keiko anymore over any issues.

He decided to let go completely from now on and let Matsumoto Keiko live completely according to her own wishes.

However, he still has some reservations about Matsumoto Keiko's emotional belonging.

That young man is handsome, rich, capable, polite, everything is good!

But the question is...why is he a Chinese?

Hey, forget it, he's not a real father, so it's not his turn to worry about this kind of problem.

Leave it to Keiko's real parents to worry about.
