Don't call me Master, call me Director

You want to compare your seniority, right?Then I'll find someone to come to town.

Don't look at Hisao Kurosawa's age is a round younger than Mr. Kitagawa, but Mr. Kitagawa was relatively older when he entered the entertainment circle.

In addition, Hisao Kurosawa's father, Akira Kurosawa, is the emperor of Japanese movies, so he can have a [-]-[-] fight with two old ghosts, Johnny.

It's impossible to ask Hisao Kurosawa to help him take over the situation. Shen Er's grandfather Matou Zuoken has no problem with his seniority, but he doesn't mix in the entertainment industry, and he has no connection with Johnny at all.

There are a few old seniors on Yuangu's side, but their identities are too different from those of Johnny's, and there is no comparison at all.

The price of inviting Hisao Kurosawa was not small. Not only did Shinji let the British media judge a lot of awards for his father Akira Kurosawa, but he also tried to find a way to make Hisao Kurosawa a judge at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

Cannibals are soft and short.

Shinji was so enthusiastic, Hisao Kurosawa was naturally embarrassed to refuse the other party's small request.

Of course, Shinji's praise of Akira Kurosawa and Hisao Kurosawa was not only for today's dinner.

He also wanted to establish a monument for the Japanese film industry and make Akira Kurosawa a role model and idol for Japanese filmmakers.

Even though Shen Er himself is engaged in commercial films, his understanding of art films is no less than that of commercial films.

Shen Er is very clear that if the film industry is to flourish, Yangchun Baixue and Xia Liba must have people.

There is no opposition between commercial films and art films, and the two sides should learn from each other and make progress together.

How many space sci-fi movies have been inspired by the art film "2001: A Space Odyssey"?

What Shen Er really dislikes are those filmmakers who are obviously making art films for the small crowd, but insist on being recognized by the public, forcing them to say "good-looking".

What these people talk about is "art", but they always have their own interests in mind.

As for why Akira Kurosawa was chosen, it is naturally the entire Japanese film industry. Emperor Kurosawa can lift up all other film directors in terms of layout and momentum.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

7 p.m., Tokyo hotel.

Shinji, Shirou, and Kurosawa Hisao walked into the banquet almost stepping on the spot.

At the banquet scene, the crowd was surging and the voices were buzzing.

This time TBS was ruthless and invited all the people who could be invited.

At the entrance of the luxuriously decorated and modern banquet venue, Mr. Kitagawa and his sister Yasuko Fujishima were standing there waiting for Shinji and his party.

Following the Kitagawa brothers and sisters, in addition to Kimura Takuya's SMAP, there is Nagano Hiroshi's combination V6.

"Shen Er, you don't have future vision, do you? They are really waiting for you."

Shirou poked Shinji and complained in a low voice.

Even if he didn't pay much attention, he recognized Johnny's elder brother.

After all, the men's sunglasses and the women's black-framed glasses, this combination is really unique in the entire Japanese entertainment circle.

"Humph."

Shen Er didn't say anything, but his face was full of complacency.

But at the same time, Shen Er felt a little strange.

The reason for calling V6 is that Hiroshi Nagano is half of the party involved, but what does it mean that SMAP has come?

It doesn't necessarily mean that Mr. Kitagawa's body is weak and needs a few more people to help him, right?

[It seems that today's negotiation will be very interesting. 】

Shinji narrowed his eyes slightly.

At the moment when he walked into the banquet hall, Shinji deliberately slowed down half a step, allowing himself to follow behind Hisao Kurosawa.

Kurosawa Hisao smiled slightly, and then took the initiative to greet the Kitagawa siblings.

"coming!"

As one old and two young walked into the banquet hall, Yasuko Fujishima reacted immediately.

"Akuo, Producer Kurosawa is here."

Yasuko Fujishima, who was obviously five years older than her younger brother, but with better eyes than her younger brother, recognized the old man walking in front at a glance.

"This kid...he won't admit defeat."

Mr. Kitagawa frowned deeply, he immediately thought of the reason why Kurosawa Hisao came here, and guessed that today's negotiation might not be easy.

"Brother Kitagawa, hello, long time no see. The last time we met was at Father's funeral, right?" Hisao Kurosawa and Brother Kitagawa shook hands cordially.

"Producer Kurosawa... hello!"

The smile on Fujishima Yasuko's face was very forced.

"Producer Kurosawa, long time no see."

Grandpa Kitagawa also hurriedly shook hands with Hisao Kurosawa, his smile was not much easier than that of his sister.

"President Kitagawa, Vice President Kitagawa, good evening."

Standing behind Kurosawa Hisao, Shinji also showed a strange smile. Taking advantage of the opportunity of several old people greeting each other, he nodded to the two opposite people and shook hands quickly.

Even if the stumble of the meeting ceremony was fooled by Shen Er.

However, when Shen Er shook hands with Mr. Kitagawa, he could feel that the other party was very hard.

[Stinky boy of the Jiantong family, you really don't want to suffer at all. 】

[Every other, Johnny's old man. 】

A few sparks flashed in the eyes of Shinji and Mr. Kitagawa looking at each other.

In the first round of the match between the two sides, Shinji Matou temporarily had the upper hand.

Chapter 116 Shen Er: Damn, I don't know anyone on stage

After saying hello, Kurosawa Hisao, a tool man, left on his own initiative.

The next negotiation has nothing to do with him, standing up for Shen Er is his only task today.

Next, Kurosawa Hisao can enjoy today's banquet to the fullest, and find a few actresses by the way...recommended to his new film director.

Hisao Kurosawa knew that he didn't have his father's talent as a director, and that he was more of a filmmaker.

As for another tool man, Emiya Shiro, he left earlier than Kurosawa Hisao.

As soon as he appeared in the banquet hall, a TBS TV crew took him to the actor's table.

Shirou is also happy to take care of Shen Er's bad things, if he can't eat the rare feast, it will be a loss!

On Shinji's side, they sat together after exchanging greetings with the Kitagawa siblings.

Although for both sides of the negotiation, today's celebration banquet is just a pretext, but at least it is the home of TBS TV station.

Therefore, Shinji and the Kitagawa siblings did not directly talk about business matters, but waited for the TBS TV station to give a speech first.

Taking advantage of this time, Shen Er watched the other guests in the banquet hall while drinking a drink.

In the huge banquet hall, not only people from the entertainment industry, celebrities from the sports and literary circles also attended the banquet, and there were even several people from the political and business circles, which can be described as full of guests.

It can be seen that TBS TV station really attaches great importance to this celebration banquet.

[Unfortunately, if there is no negotiation task, I can chat with them. 】

Shinji shook his head slightly, turned his gaze back to his own table, and observed the Kitagawa siblings.

Mr. Kitagawa sat on the seat with half-closed eyes, as if he was closing his eyes to rest his mind.

On the contrary, the elder sister Yasuko Fujishima looked very energetic, holding Takuya Kimura's hand and talking constantly.

[What a lively old lady. 】

Seeing the state of the Kitagawa siblings, Shen Er remembered that Mr. Kitagawa's health has not been very good. It is said that he does not manage the company's affairs very much now and has gradually delegated power.

If Shen Er remembers correctly, the old man didn't even make it to 2020, and he went to Hexi in 19.

On the contrary, Yasuko Fujishima, who is 5 years older than his younger brother, lived for two more years, and did not become a co-pilot for his younger brother until August 2021.

But seeing the black-rimmed glasses that Fujishima Yasuko was wearing, Shinji suddenly felt that it was nothing strange.

After all, black-rimmed glasses have always been a sign of longevity, haven't they?

Shinji raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a mysterious smile.

His smile made the people on Johnny's side a little terrified.

Why did this director Matou laugh when nothing happened?Is there something strange about their faces?

It was probably because everyone present tonight was related to the bigwigs in the entertainment industry, and TBS specially held a small performance.

It's a pity that this performance is simply tasteless to Shen Er.

"...?? (a plant), don't know any of them."

Looking at the singer singing on stage, Shen Er only felt a little embarrassed.

Shen Er's understanding of Japanese artists is basically two extremes in terms of age.

Especially for female stars, Er Ye knows either Sayuri Yoshinaga of the older generation in the 70s and 48s, or the female idols of the 2010 series who became famous after [-].

During this period of time, the only stars Shen Er knew were a few male stars from Johnny's family.

From this point of view, Johnny's deserves to be the number one firm in Japan.

"Hey, I said Dagu, won't your V6 go up and sing a song?"

Shinji, who was really bored, simply changed seats with his little secretary Ophelia, and chatted with Hiroshi Nagano directly.

"Well, Grandma Fujishima didn't make this request." Hiroshi Nagano replied with a smile.

Shen Er smacked his lips: "It's a pity, this year is the tenth anniversary of your V6, and I still want to hear you sing."

Forget about the masters of SMAP, they are not qualified to appear on such a small stage.

"Haha~ If Director Matou wants to come to our [-]th anniversary concert, I can give you a few tickets."

"Forget it, I must be very busy when you are holding a concert, and I don't have time to attend your concert."

Shinji shook his head slightly.

It doesn't matter if we have the chance to meet him this time, but if he really wants to go to a crowded concert, forget it.

Not to mention that Shen Er didn't have that kind of enthusiasm, even if he did, he would be wiped out by the crazy female fans at the scene.

Just how crazy Japanese female fans are, Shinji saw it the last time he interacted with fans in Fuyuki City.

"Is it."

Seeing that Shen Er was not interested, Hiroshi Nagano immediately changed the topic, and began to chat with Shen Er about some anecdotes about shooting at Tsuburaya Studio, in order to draw in the relationship between the two.

Shen Er smiled and listened, and told the other party some anecdotes he heard among fans from time to time.

It's a pity that Tiga on Rabbit's side only started the first round of TV broadcasts last year in 04, and Shen Er couldn't tell the other party about the meme of "Car Accident Hero Nagano Hiroshi".

To be honest, Shen Er still hasn't been able to understand what those rumormongers are thinking, and they actually made up Nagano Hiroshi's death in a car accident to gain attention.

Fortunately, these people are not in Japan, otherwise Johnny's legal department's substitute iron fist will let them know what "the Internet is not a place outside the law."

Johnny's legal department is not as well-known as Disney or Nintendo, but they attach great importance to the portrait rights and reputation rights of their artists, and they will be chased and punished for any damage.

Fortunately, with the passage of time, everyone knows that Nagano Hiroshi is unlikely to have a car accident, so the title of "Car Accident Hero" was given to Xiaolu by Dagu, making him the second generation of "Car Accident Human Body".

People have to sigh with emotion, just a bond...

cough cough.

Shinji pursed his lips, picked up his cup and took a sip of water.

"Director Matou, what's wrong?"

Seeing the change in Shen Er's expression, Nagano Hiroshi hurriedly asked.

"It's nothing, I just think you are a good person, Dagu."

Shen Er pinched his chin and casually sent a good person card to the other party.

"Director Matou, you are joking."

Hiroshi Nagano hurriedly toasted with Shinji.
