Tokyo Literature and Art Times

   Chapter 416 Want to infiltrate the political world?

   In a studio in Los Angeles.

   Many small pillars are still running.

   And Takeshi Iwata was just looking at the pixels he shot at the moment, and didn't really edit it.

   The point is, he has a phone call.

   "Keanu, we are old partners, right?"

   "Of course."

   "Then why are you doing this now?"

   "This is really a small problem."

   "What's the problem, just say it."

   "This, this..."

   "What is it?"

"That's right, you know, my new movie, this movie is on show, and this movie still has a car chase... It's a different kind of car chase, it's that kind of car chase, it's a bus , there is a bomb on the bus."

   "Ah? Well, I understand what you mean."

   "I'm really sorry, the other party hopes that I can temporarily stop taking movies that have a lot to do with cars, which will affect this movie."

   "Okay, I understand, then this..."

   "Iwata, we are good friends, right, but if this movie couldn't be made because of it, I'm really sorry, and I'll find a way to make it up."

   "It's okay, I'll find a way."

   hung up the phone, Iwata Takeshi's face was full of helplessness.

   "Fast and Furious 3" he was about to start filming, but this guy Keanu Reeves actually released pigeons.

   This thing, it's really quite... This thing is not interesting.

   Indeed, this handsome guy has always had a rather eccentric personality, like the feeling of a monk.

   It seems that he doesn't care much about everything. The good ones are transcendental, 1+1=5, and the bad ones have long reflex arcs and are not sensitive to very things.

   But this time, it is indeed the wrong product.

  Why?

   is the movie he picked up.

   "Speed ​​of Life and Death".

   This movie is currently being released, and Iwata still knows it well.

   In the original time and space, Keanu Reeves really became popular because of this movie.

Before   , he did make many literary and artistic films, but those literary and artistic films did leave an impression in the minds of some directors, but this did not guarantee much of the box office.

  What is the real value of a Hollywood star?

   How many Oscars did you get?

  No, it’s the box office.

   Only the box office can tell everything, and Keanu Reeves should have become a popular niche with this "Speed ​​of Life and Death".

   Now, many changes have taken place.

  Iwata Takeshi's previous "Fast and Furious" box office is enough to illustrate the problem, and Keanu Reeves's position has risen rapidly.

   In other words, this time, "Speed ​​of Life and Death" can only be regarded as an icing on the cake.

   But, capitalism.

   Don’t look at it as the icing on the cake, but in terms of capital, it is a good way to take advantage of the situation. The key is to do some small tricks.

   For example, even if you change jobs, there will be non-compete clauses, right?

   Right now, this movie is on fire. This movie also has something to do with cars, and bombs are also hot topics.

   But, did these elements collide with "Fast and Furious"?

   For sure!

   Obviously.

   Then, how could the investor of this film not do something about it?

   What's more, this movie is actually produced by Twentieth Century Fox.

  Fox, they and Iwata Takeshi can't be said to be inseparable, but it can also be said that they don't get along with each other.

   So, a little thing like a non-compete clause was added from the very beginning.

   This thing, Keanu Reeves did not see, and his agent simply chose to ignore it.

  Why?

   The other party gave too much.

   This time, the "Speed ​​of Life" fox can be said to be a big deal. After all, Keanu Reeves' coffee position has risen a lot, and his salary alone exceeds 10 million US dollars.

   is already very high.

   Generally speaking, Hollywood's current salary, male stars have a club of 20 million US dollars.

   If you give too much, then this kind of small details, forget it.

  As a result, "The Fast and the Furious" can't be filmed now, at least not for the time being.

How to do?

   Takeshi Iwata scratched his head, and what was playing in front of him was the "Jing Ke Assassinating the King of Qin", which was filmed before. The key to this movie was editing. In addition, he also planned to do some special effects.

   Of course, the special effects have been prepared before, and for this historical film, the special effects are mainly to add some realism.

   ILM's current offer is still the same, $1 million in 30 seconds.

  Iwata Takeshi takes about 1 minute to add some details about blood and army formation.

   This is easy to say.

   What about the hero of "The Fast and the Furious"?

  Thinking about it…

   Is this trying to force me to shoot "Breaking Bad" first?

  Come on, call Gary Oldman, this one comes first.

   was picking up the phone when suddenly, a string of familiar numbers came in.

   "Ming Cai? What's wrong?"

   "What? Can't I call you?"

   "How come, it's just that, according to the time difference, it's already late in Japan."

"Yes."

   "Then this is urgent?"

   "You already know and ask so much!"

  Iwata Takeshi laughed dumbly, his wife is still so quirky.

  After the two got married, it didn't seem to have changed much from when they were not married.

   Anyway, it's pretty good.

   So, what is it?

   Soon, Akina told Takeshi Iwata about the fact that the spring water was given to a 'missionary' by the Soka Gakkai.

   This is so easy!

  Iwata Takeshi immediately thought of who.

   Who else could it be?

  Ishihara Satomi.

   Actually, what this lady's real name is is really a mystery.

   However, some things are not easy if you dig deep.

   Legend has it for a long time that Satomi Ishihara is the Princess Soka.

Whether    is a princess or not is really difficult to prove, but there is one clear proof.

  Ishihara Satomi later got married, and her husband was also a member of the Soka Gakkai.

What does it mean?

   This actually has a lot to do with the so-called society being a cult.

   Soka Gakkai women can only marry Soka Gakkai men.

   Inside this group is to engage in internal digestion.

   is really not normal.

   And later it came out that Satomi Ishihara may have entered the political world. Don't think this is this nonsense legend, it is very possible.

  The Komeito, which is the political embodiment of the Soka Gakkai, is a party with more than 40 seats.

The biggest problem with    is that this party has at least 1 million iron votes, which is very, very iron. In addition to some other votes, this should have millions of votes.

   How many people are there in Japan?

   This is definitely a force to be reckoned with.

   Then, what does Akina mean by her call now?

   "Isn't it enough if you don't add spring water?"

   "How could it be so simple? What if they harassed again and again?"

   "Then this..."

   "Husband, think of a way."

   Good guy, Iwata Takeshi can't bear to be coquettish on the overseas phone.

   "You have the best solution, husband~"

  Oh, this sound, Iwata Takeshi felt that his bones were brittle.

   "Okay, I will definitely find a way, for sure."

   "mua!"

  Good guy, come on again.

   Takeshi Iwata scratched his head, thinking it was quite interesting.

   I didn't think so, he happened one after another.

How to do?

  Wait a minute, Takeshi Iwata seems to have thought of something.

   What did you say before?

   Teraoka Chikyu, and many others, have any suggestions?

   I hope that Takeshi Iwata can run for the legislature.

   In other words, Yamamoto-gumi has this plan and wants to develop into the political world.

   Actually, let’s put it this way, in Japan, many people see it very clearly.

   When it reaches a certain level, it is best to develop into politics.

  For example, Takeshi Iwata remembers the later owner of Livegate, Horie Takafumi.

   This guy, known as the Japanese reality version of Doraemon, developed into politics after he became the number one IT person in Japan after being very rich.

   Result... Anyway, the ending was not very good.

   He did not succeed, but instead became a prisoner.

   And the whole incident at that time was also related to a well-known TV station.

   is Fuji TV.

  Horijiang Guiwen played a very good hand, and directly hit the seven-inch hand of the Japanese financial market.

   Because Fuji TV, in terms of affiliation, belongs to Sankei Shimbun, although Shochiku and Toho also have shares in it, but the major shareholder is Sankei Shimbun.

   However, Fuji TV later became very strong in the stock market, and its market value was much higher than that of Sankei Shimbun, and Sankei was a newspaper after all, and its market value became very poor.

   So, buying Sankei Shimbun means buying Fuji TV.

   It doesn't take much money at all to leverage a TV station worth more than 500 billion yen.

   This is indeed a good buy.

   But unfortunately, the Japanese government made an excuse and sent the goods to prison.

  Sometimes capitalism is like this, when there is no way out in theory, then play hard.

   Yes, they do encourage private property to be inviolable, but this is their own property, as for other people's, that's not the best way to infringe.

  Otherwise, how could their property change so much?

what about now?

  Iwata Takeshi couldn't help thinking of a very interesting method.

   Now, stop calling Gary Oldman, fans of "Breaking Bad", you wait.

hey-hey…

   He called Teraoka Chikyu.

   "Team leader, what do you mean?"

   "I am very interested in Soka Gakkai."

   "Are you trying to trouble them?"

"that…"

   "It doesn't matter, I can send someone to stalk them. As long as I find some clues about their president, I will threaten him, just..."

  Good guy, these methods are really skilled.

  Iwata Takeshi didn't think so.

   "These things are not in a hurry, the handle is to be grasped, and more importantly, are they interested in finance?"

   "Oh? What does the leader mean???"

   "Find out, where their money is going, and report it to me."

   "Hay!"

   That's it, maybe Iwata Takeshi never thought that his tentacles would extend into the political world.

  …

  pS: There is good news, it seems that my stomach problem is getting better, I am not sure, but it is much better than before.
