Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era
Chapter 447: The last one like you was Sakai Springs
Chapter 447 The last one like you is Sakai Springs
Takagi Renhachi didn't have time to ask Tao to know his fate, but he had already slipped away.
To have a private jet is to be self-willed. After all, in addition to accompanying Shana when he went to Kansai, he could only play Kansai’s big bosses with Toshi Kaibe.
The reason for is also very reliable: Kaibe Shun urged him, and he couldn't stand it because he paid too much attention to it. Tao Zhiming had to go back to arrange research materials and write this project.
Takagi Renhachi was very puzzled: When you write a project about Kyoto, shouldn’t it be better to stay in Kansai for research?
This is of course, so I got Tao Zhi's order to arrange other affairs in the past, and after returning to the Kansai region with someone, Takagi Renpachi stayed put.
It’s only two or three days, you can wait.
Tao Zhiming returned to Tokyo, and there were indeed many things.
The first big thing is to arrange for Qiu Yuankang to contact Dongbao, and prepare to handle the matter of Sawaguchi Yasuko changing the contracted club.
"Miss Sawaguchi, want to sign a contract with us at WanderDance? It's amazing..." Qiu Yuankang was shocked after hearing this.
Tao Zhiming nodded: "The preliminary framework has been negotiated. Please communicate with President Nishino Masahiko about the specific procedures and details."
Qiu Yuankang looked at his heart and said, "Actually, when Miss Nakamori was recording a song here that day, she also expressed her love for our club, Mr. President..."
"Don't rely on me." Tao Zhiming shook his head, "I have a good relationship with President Hirakawa, and it's not easy to dig into other people's corners. Miss Sawaguchi changed her contract because she wanted to establish a deeper cooperation with Dongbao. I will soon Putting a lot of resources into pushing her to the international scene."
"Big plan?"
"That's what Pantao Films is about." Tao Zhiming patted him on the shoulder, "Let's find music production talents with peace of mind first, and expand the team of singers. Those with creative talent are the best."
Seeing Tao Zhiming turning to leave, Qiu Yuankang suddenly said: "That... Spring said that she wants to take a month's leave and go to the United States and Europe to listen to more music there and learn. I think there seems to be some problem with her emotions... "
Tao Zhiming's footsteps paused, and then said: "These things, you are the president, you can handle them yourself."
"…I understand."
Looking at him without turning his head, Qiu Yuankang sighed silently.
It seems that in addition to having the assistant follow her, it is best to ask Yuta to arrange for a security person to follow her.
Tao Zhiming returned to Tokyo, and he just called Sawaguchi Yasukiko and said that he had already negotiated the change.
Sawaguchi Yasuko was surprised that it would go so smoothly, Tao Zhiming said leisurely: "In order to get this matter smoothly, I simply planned a huge plan along the film. Now, you are already a small part of this plan. part of it."
Omitting some things that should not be known by her, he briefly talked about how to impress Uno Zongyou to support the filming of the film, and how to attract Shun Kaibe to Kyoto to increase the attractiveness of Kyoto through film and television works and drive the filming of the film. Bian's tour, and then how Dongbao's parent company was moved to let it go.
After the twists and turns were finished, Sawaguchi Yasukiko could only sigh: "It turns out to be like this... It sounds easy, but there is such a huge price to pay for it... Knowing my fate, I..."
"Are you an idiot?" Tao Zhiming said with a smile, "Since it was my plan, why didn't I imagine a good return?"
"Anyway, I've kept it in my heart." Yasuko Sawaguchi asked after a while, "Are you really going to play the leading role when he was young?"
"Yes." Tao Zhiming's voice also softened, "I will change it a little bit, so that the memory at the end will be interspersed with an imagination about the wedding. All are real memories, only that part is a beautiful imagination. When making a play, let’s treat the play as life, and then we will shoot a marriage play.”
"...then it couldn't be more perfect." Sawaguchi Yasuko's voice was a little excited and asked urgently, "Where are you?"
"Go to Taoranting and wait for me. Now the plan will definitely be implemented, so you can go to learn the performance and posture of a geisha first."
Tao Zhiming didn't tell Sawaguchi Yasukiko that he would act in person, and he didn't tell her to change the script a little bit.
Now, he still needs to find a suitable director for the film.
And for a movie with delicate emotions like Memoirs of a Geisha, there is naturally one person who is very suitable.
Although he has only graduated from college for two years, he is not sharp enough, but such a person just needs a chance.
…
On Fuji TV, a young man who completed another day of "hands-on" work in the TV drama production department couldn't wait to get off work.
Although it seems that he has caught up with a good time when he graduates because of the need to implement weekends, in fact, active overtime is actually very common.
As an ordinary member who has been employed for less than three years, he stood up and packed his things at this time, which surprised his colleagues at the same time: "Iwai-kun, so early today?"
"Hey, I have something to do today. I already told the head of the department, see you tomorrow."
"Oh…"
Seeing him trim his longer hair, the rest of the people whispered: "A date?"
"Who knows..."
This young man's name is Iwai Shunji. After leaving the office building of the club, he looked at his watch and hurried to the tram stop.
Because today's matter is very important, he never imagined that he would receive a letter from Pantao Films, saying that he had seen some of his works in college under very coincidental circumstances, and hoped to chat with him to see if he had any Potential to participate in Pantao Film's Rising Star Directing Program.
Iwai Shunji, why didn't he pay attention to Pantao Movie's new star director plan? An annual investment of 30 million yuan in 10 works and support for 10 new directors is unheard of. Who would be willing to give hundreds of millions of yen to a new director to try?
Such an opportunity, Shunji Iwai cannot miss it no matter what.
If the other party hadn't sent a letter on his own initiative, Shunji Iwai would not even have the confidence to take the initiative to send the script that he usually accumulated and prepared.
But this time, he packed several scripts thick in his bag.
The train was crowded, and many people were discussing where to play at night after work, and Shunji Iwai naturally heard names like WanderDance and WanderKTV.
was founded by the president of Pantao Cinema. It's unbelievable. He is two years younger than himself. How can he do this?
He had no intention of paying attention to other things along the way, just thinking about how to chat with the people who were filming Pantao.
I really don't have any experience. Except for the very rough film I made in college, and after I joined Fuji TV, I was also engaged in behind-the-scenes script creation work. Although I have also been to two crews to help out, it is really just doing some physical work...
I don’t know where Pantao Ying’s people saw their work in college and were interested.
Iwai Shunji has a lot of fragile hopes in his heart. Could it be that the other party is really that kind of confidant?
After he got off the tram, he looked at the street signs suspiciously and carefully, and finally turned into a small alley. This is indeed the address given by the other party, but is Pan Tao Yinghua here?
Looking for the house number, he finally found the place, but there was no sign of Pantao Ying, but there was a simple wooden sign next to the door with the words "Tao Ran Ting" written on it.
Iwai Shunji stepped forward in confusion and knocked on the door. After a while, he heard the sound of clogs coming from inside.
Then the door was opened, and he saw a geisha with very delicate and complete makeup standing there.
Iwai Shunji felt that he was in the wrong place, but he heard the other party bow and ask, "Is it Mr. Iwai Shunji?"
"...it's me, that, I received the letter and contacted..."
The other party smiled, took two steps back, and said softly, "Please come in."
Iwai Shunji could only bow down to thank him, and then walked through the door.
Then, it was as if he was experiencing a dream. After walking along the stone-paved road in the courtyard after entering the door and walking to the wooden corridor, I saw one after another geisha in the next room... It should be a practice, right? because there are no guests.
There is very traditional music being played.
He followed the geisha in front of him, feeling only full of doubts. The other party just walked forward in small steps, the back collar of the kimono was slightly lowered, allowing him to see a white back neck.
Iwai Shunji quickly looked away and muttered in his heart: What is this place? Why did the man from Panda Cinema meet him in a place with so many geishas? Is it a kiosk?
Tao Ranting...It seems so...
For such an expensive place, the other party has paid enough attention to it.
After turned the corridor, the music was a little louder, and the room seemed to be much bigger than what I had seen before.
"I'm sorry, manager, Iwai-san is here."
"Invite the guests in."
Iwai Shunji heard a very soft woman's voice, so he lowered his head and said "I'm sorry" before taking off his shoes and walking into the room.
As soon as he entered the room, he was a little stunned at first sight, his mouth opened slightly.
The woman in a kimono who is adjusting her posture following a beautiful middle-aged woman, that face... Isn't that Sawaguchi Yasuko? !
Iwai Shunji felt very rude. At first glance, he was attracted by the woman, so he quickly looked away, and then he was stunned again, his mouth opened wider.
"Iwai-kun, please take a seat."
"...President Tao...I really didn't expect it."
He never imagined that it was Tao Zhiming who met him in person. At most, I thought it was only the person in charge of the new star director program of Pantao Films, but this is too...
Iwai Shunji sat down in a little panic, only to find that there were more people here.
Tao Zhiming pointed and introduced: "The original president of Dimension Culture, Ueno-kun. Now the president of WanderStar, Akimoto-kun."
"Fortunate to meet...fortunate to meet..." Iwai Shunji was a little numb, what kind of battle is this?
Akimoto Yasushi and Ueno Yosuke also looked at him curiously, wondering why Tao Zhiming would meet this person in person, and let them both come together.
"Sister Miki, since the guests are here, let's take a rest. Yasuko, you are tired too."
Hearing that he addressed Sawaguchi Yasuko so intimately, Shunji Iwai thought it was quite reasonable.
After Sawaguchi Yasuko came over, although he sat next to Tao Zhiming, he was not very close, just an ordinary distance.
Tao Zhiming looked at Shunji Iwai, who still looked very young and restrained, and smiled first: "The place is not easy to find, right? Have a cup of tea first and calm down."
Ueno Yosuke poured him a cup of tea very knowingly, and Shunji Iwai owed him twice in a row: "Thank you...Thank you for your hard work..."
After he took a sip of tea and put it down gently, Tao Zhiming said: "I know Iwai-kun must be a little confused now, but it's okay. I saw Iwai-kun's works from a friend, and he told me that he is a person with great potential. So now, I would like to invite Iwai-kun to participate in a selection."
"President Tao, please tell me!" The various introductions Iwai Shunji had prepared before were completely useless. With the other party's status, since he was interested in himself, he should have understood everything he should know.
Tao Zhiming nodded and said: "The content of the trial is very simple, there are three items in total. First, it is to edit a music video based on the music and the TV drama material that has been filmed. Second, it is based on the completed music. , shoot and produce a music video. Third, complete all the sub-lens design according to a script.”
Iwai Shunji nodded: "I see. Excuse me, is this about the selection of the new star mentoring program?"
His intuition should not be like this, if it is only like this, he should not need to see himself in person.
"It's more important than the new star director plan." Tao Zhiming said with a smile, "Every time you complete a trial, you will enter the next one. If you finally pass the selection, you will be selected as an important part of Pantao Films and Dongbao's joint investment. The director of the film. The investment is expected to reach at least 5 billion yen, and the female lead is Miss Yasuko Sawaguchi.”
Iwai Shunji's heart trembled, his blood was already surging: "I understand, I will definitely go all out!"
"Seeing that Iwai-kun is not timid, I look forward to it even more." Tao Zhiming said to Akimoto Yasushi, "Then, the first trial, let Iwai-kun try the theme song sung by Miss Nakamori."
Iwai Shunji was shocked again, Miss Nakamori is still singing, who could that be?
Akimoto Yasushi nodded and said: "Iwai-kun, this trial will take a certain amount of time, watching a TV series that has not yet aired, and the starring is also Miss Sawaguchi. You are still working at Fuji TV, and the time... There are editing, equipment... let me just say it, Iwai-kun, this is a rare opportunity, and there are special arrangements for the selection process. If you think that there will be more opportunities to work in Pantao Films, just resign. Otherwise If you pass the first trial, the second trial will still have filming work..."
Iwai Shunji was a little hesitant for a while, wondering how many people Pan Tao Yinghua invited to participate in this selection. After all, Fuji TV is one of the five private TV stations, and the work there has been done for more than two years.
But looking at Tao Zhiming, who came to see him in person, Iwai Shunji didn't think much, and immediately said: "As long as I can survive with a salary, I will resign tomorrow!"
Tao Zhiming was happy and raised his cup: "Welcome to Pantao Films. Now I am the president of this club. You can call me the president or the president."
Iwai Shunji is not stupid. Now that he has made up his mind, he immediately said: "Thank you, President, for your recognition of me, and I will definitely do my best!"
No preparations were needed, so he made this decision.
The rhythm is also mastered by the other party, but since you can get an invitation from this young man who represents a miracle, why do you think so much?
The most important thing is that if you can pass the selection, you can be the director of a movie starring Sawaguchi Yasuko with an investment of more than 5 billion yen!
Tao Zhiming smiled at Qiu Yuankang and said, "Now that I have found the first seed for you, it is up to you to contact TV Tokyo to start this program."
"Huh?" Iwai Shunji was a little confused.
Qiu Yuankang looked at the first seed who was personally invited by Tao Zhiming, and slowly explained: "This selection itself will be made into a variety show on TV Tokyo. Before that TV series is broadcast, you have to talk to The other nine competitors edited music videos for each of the ten songs. Then came the second round of trials, with five directors shooting music videos for Sakai Izumi's second solo album, and finally two were selected as the The winner of the new star directing program. Among the two winners, the one who wins again in the third round of trials will arrange the original painting and costume styling team to launch the film conceived by the winner, including the shooting plan and starring. , original painting, and makeup photos.”
After finished speaking, Qiu Yuankang confirmed to Tao Zhiming again: "Is that so?"
Tao Zhiming nodded: "Yes, that's it."
Iwai Shunji was under a lot of pressure at the moment: "Want to make it into a show?"
His attention was occupied by this incident, and he didn't notice that Qiu Yuankang also confirmed to Tao Zhiming, as if he didn't quite know whether this was the case or not.
In fact, Akimoto Yasushi and Ueno Yosuke still came here, and they were shocked by Tao Zhiming's idea first.
Good guy, for one thing, it can not only help to promote the TV series "My Love from the Stars", but also promote the new album of Sakai Quanshui, and also promote the new club of Pantao Yinghua, and finally, for the Yuzawa The film starring Yasukiko Kou will build momentum before filming begins.
Such a big production is actually done by a newcomer, and I don't know why he is so confident.
These two people still don't know that Tao Zhiming is going to come off the stage in person, and also prepared a series of publicity battles and resources to make this movie a success.
Besides, Tao Zhiming has confidence in Iwai Shunji. Although it is still a little tender now, when such people are squeezed, they will always burst out potential.
Hearing Shunji Iwai's confirmation, Akimoto Yasushi said meaningfully: "Yes, come on! As a person recommended by the president himself, what you got is the theme song sung by Akina Nakamori, and the probability of passing the first round itself is It has greatly increased.”
"...I'm really grateful." Iwai Shunji never expected the trap to fall like this, "I will definitely try my best."
Tao Zhiming said: "Then, you will continue to eat with Qiuyuan-kun and talk about the next thing. Yosuke, we are going to see another guest. Iwai-kun, excuse me."
"Don't dare..." Iwai Shunji immediately got up and sent him away with Sawaguchi Yasuko and Ueno Yosuke.
When they disappeared from sight, Iwai Shunji was still in a trance, until he heard Akimoto Yasushi calling him: "Iwai-kun?"
"Sorry!" Iwai Shunji turned around immediately, then bowed and sat down again.
Qiu Yuanyao can understand his mood, and asked with a smile: "It's a surprise, right?"
"Indeed...and panicky."
Akimoto Yasushi was curious: "Iwai-kun, you didn't know the president before?"
"If you know it...it's just from newspapers and TV." Iwai Shunji was puzzled. "President Akimoto, have you seen my work in college? Actually, I think the filming is very bad now..."
"I haven't seen it." Qiu Yuankang said truthfully, but then he did not underestimate him, but looked at him deeply, "I heard that there was a person who was discovered by the president like this, do you know who it is? ?"
"…do not know."
Akimoto Yasushi smiled mysteriously: "Sakai Spring Water."
Iwai Shunji was really stunned.
Akimoto Yasuo understood this reaction very well, but he was actually very puzzled. Hearing Yuta Irie said that Tao Zhiming only met Sakai Quanshui by chance on the street, and felt that she had the potential to become a singer. Although the success of Sakai Springs is due to Tao Zhiming's continuous production of songs for her, she does have this ability herself.
This time it’s even more outrageous, I’ve never seen it before. Although it sounds more reasonable just to have seen his work, it is not necessary to call him here to shock him all night, right?
Helpless Tao Zhiming made great achievements in battle, and Qiu Yuankang did not dare to underestimate: "So, I also look forward to your achievements. Iwai-kun, tell you about the specific arrangements for the selection..."
Iwai Shunji, who was in a very complicated mood, entered this restaurant where there were many geisha, and suddenly met Tao Zhiming, who was famous in the world, and the now hot Yasuko Sawaguchi, and then got this opportunity.
Everything is like a dream, but now you have to cheer up.
Is this a change of fate?
In the other nameless courtyard, Tao Zhiming took Ueno Yosuke and Sawaguchi Yasuko, opposite Kinoshita Xiufeng and Kono Miki.
The single dog Yosuke Ueno looked at the empty table and felt that he was full.
You can even arrange a geisha to accompany me!
