Don't call me Master, call me Director

Yuangu Kazuo, the eldest son of Yuangu Gao, the grandson of Yuangu Eiji, and the former president of Yuangu Company.

The other party's identity is not particularly high in the Japanese entertainment industry, but the size is also considered a person.

But at this time, Tsuburaya Kazuo held Shen Er's hand tightly and refused to let go.

"Brother Shen Er, please help me. Please."

"Brother...brother."

The corner of Shen Er's mouth twitched wildly, can you, a fat man, still show some face?

Tsuburaya was born in 1961 and is now over 40 years old. Shinji himself is not even 20 years old now.

Given the age difference between the two of them, it might be a bit difficult for Shen Er to call him grandfather, but calling him uncle is definitely enough.

As a result, Tsuburaya Kazuo insisted on pulling Shen Er to call him brother.

In fact, it is not impossible to do this calculation. Shen Er's father Zou Yan Matou and Eiji Tsuburaya are best friends.

The two old men used to work hard together in Tokyo and have a very close relationship.

Second Uncle Kariya was able to make his mark, from a walk-on to the leading role of a special drama, thanks to this friendship.

Back then, Kariya couldn't do well in the actor's circle, so he pissed off Mr. Zouyan to death.

How can the dignified second young master of Tong's family be just a dead-on-the-job?

But no matter how angry he was, it was his own son, so the old man could only be cheeky and beg Kazuo Tsuburaya, hoping that the other party could help him.

At the beginning, it was the Matou family who asked the Tsuburaya family, but now the situation is completely reversed, and the Tsuburaya family is begging the Matou family.

Because Tsuburaya is going bankrupt again.

Hmm...why say again?

Shinji sighed helplessly.

Although there is no news in the circle now, what else could Kazuo Tsuburaya beg for him in such a low voice.

"Yuangu..."

Shen Er opened his mouth, and he found that he didn't know how to address him.

Let's call it the last name, it's too raw;

Let's call her name, the two of them haven't gotten to know each other that well yet;

Call him uncle, the other party is already called "brother", there is no need to downgrade yourself;

But call me brother, if you can't speak, he is shameless Tsuburaya, but Shen Er is shameless.

"Ex-President Yuangu, what do you want from me?"

Shinji finally chose a rather awkward title.

"Brother Shen Er, I hope that for the sake of the friendship between the grandfathers, you can help my brother and let Yuangu Company tide over the difficulties."

"Did something happen to Tsuburaya Corporation?"

Although he knew in his heart how bad Tsuburaya's business was, they hadn't announced it to the public after all, so Shen Er could only pretend that he didn't know anything.

Kazuo Tsuburaya said embarrassingly: "It's like this. The Tsuburaya Company has a little problem recently. There has been a small fluctuation in the equity distribution. I need your help, brother."

[I believe you, you bastard, you are very bad. 】

Shinji forcibly resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

If it's really the small fluctuations in Kazuo Yuangu's mouth, is it worth him begging himself so humbly?

"The former president of Tsuburaya..."

"Oh, Shinji. If you call me that, it's a birthright. You can just call me a brother."

"Ha ha."

Shen Er sneered twice, narrowed his eyes and stared at Tsuburaya Kazuo.

Tsuburaya Kazuo felt uncomfortable being watched by Shen Er, his face was full of embarrassment.

"Ahem, Brother Shen. There is really no other meaning..." Kazuo Tsuburaya's words were full of entanglements, "That kid Yingming was tricked by someone and borrowed a sum of money from someone... ..."

Although very embarrassed, for the sake of his own company, Tsuburaya Kazuo still told Shen Er about the relevant content intermittently.

The operating situation of Tsuburaya Company has not been very good in the past two years. After taking office, the new president Hideaki Tsuburaya launched the N plan ambitiously in order to change this situation.

This thing sounds mysterious, but it is actually a cross-platform linkage.

Tsuburaya designed a brand new world view, and then wrote different stories based on this world view, namely Nexus in the TV series, Nexter in the movie version and Noah in the stage play.

According to Tsuburaya's original idea, it is hoped that viewers who have watched one of Ultraman will become interested in the other two, and then watch the other two, so as to expand the influence of Ultraman's IP.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is very skinny.

Whether it is a TV series or a movie, it is a massacre, and the influence has not met Tsuburaya's expectations at all.

Originally, Yuangu Company's cash flow was very tight. The failure of Plan N could not be said to have caused Yuangu to be shot on the spot, at least he was sentenced to death and executed immediately.

It can be said that Yuangu Yingming's N plan not only failed to save Yuangu Company, but added a handful of soil to the grave.

To make matters worse, due to the company's poor management for years, the bank is no longer ready to provide loans to Yuangu Company.

In such a bad situation, Yuangu Company can only borrow from large companies and use the company's equity as collateral to obtain a sum of money to keep the company operating.

This amount of money is not much, only tens of millions of yen, but Tsuburaya pledged 45% of the shares.

That's not all, the big company got a total of 80% of Yuangu's shares through various means after getting the loan mortgage.

Then the other party directly showed their cards and stopped pretending.

Find the current president Hideaki Tsuburaya directly and ask him to hand over all the remaining shares.

Now Hideaki Tsuburaya really panicked, he was at a loss and could only find Kazuo Tsuburaya and ask his cousin to help him through the difficulties.

"Yingming is really confused! He didn't notice such an obvious trap! He even mortgaged the company's shares foolishly!"

Tsuburaya stomped his feet angrily and scolded his cousin loudly.

"..."

Shen Er did not agree, but took a sip of juice calmly, with the attitude of watching a monkey show.

Although Kazuo Tsuburaya didn't say it very carefully and deliberately omitted many details, Shen Er could guess that the "big company" was TYO, and he even guessed about how Tsuburaya got into the trap.

The person who proposed to borrow from TYO was Morishima Hangyuki, a high-level senior employee of Tsuburaya Company.

It's nothing, but Morishima Hangyuki's younger brother is a lawyer and TYO's legal adviser.

To put it bluntly, this guy is an inside ghost.

Why Shinji is so sure, because after Tsuburaya was acquired, Morishima Hengyuki was directly appointed as the company president by TYO.

What happened afterwards is a story that everyone is familiar with. The Tsuburaya family was completely cleared out of the Tsuburaya Company, and the only thing that can be related to each other is the name.

What Morishima Hengxing did was even worse. This guy drove out all the old employees who loved the Tsuburaya family from the company, causing a large number of brain drains from the Tsuburaya company.

It is a typical villain, once he gains power, he will do bad things very typical.

Because this guy is so unpopular, he made Tsuburaya company into a mess, and even TYO can't stand it anymore.

I asked you to manage the company, what the hell are you driving everyone away!

So after only one year as the president, Morishima Hengyuki was kicked out by TYO, and another old man from Tsuburaya, Ooka Shinichi, came to serve as the president.

As for the brother we are familiar with, in fact, brother Dai has never acquired Yuangu Company.

They just bought 49% of the shares from the other party after TYO acquired Xia Yuangu, to ensure that they can monopolize the copyrights related to Ultraman.

Of course, it is not enough to say that consortium B has no responsibility at all. The brother who owns 49% of the shares will not have much say in Yuangu after his new life. Who will believe this? !

As for why Shinji is watching a monkey show...

In Erye's original world, Kazuo Tsuburaya was the one who accepted Morishima Hangyuki's suggestion to borrow money from TYO.

It can be regarded as a disguised form of me scolding myself.

The only thing that makes Shen Er curious is why TYO started two years earlier.

Could it be that this butterfly caused something to happen to it?

Tsuburaya scolded for a while, seeing that Shen Er didn't respond, he could only stop talking in embarrassment.

"Brother Shen Er, can you help me with this matter?"

Tsuburaya rubbed his hands nervously.

"As long as you can lend me a little money from my brother, it will be enough to tide over the difficulties. Not much, not much, as long as 2 million yen is enough."

"2 billion..."

Shinji rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

Kazuo Tsuburaya said anxiously: "Brother Shen Er, if you are willing to help, I am willing to mortgage the shares currently held by the Yuangu family. I promise that if I get through this difficulty, I will return all the money to you."

【Who said just now that Tsuburaya Hideming, who pledged the shares, was confused? 】

Shen Er curled his lips, he felt that if Mr. Ying Er's coffin had not been nailed to death, he would definitely crawl out and strangle these unworthy descendants to death.

"Former President Tsuburaya, I need to think about this matter." Shen Er said with a smile, "Let me spend such a large sum of money all of a sudden..."

"That's right, I'm Meng Lang."

Tsuburaya nodded with a sneer.

"Then I'll go first."

Probably because he felt that there was nothing to do with Shen Er, Kazuo Tsuburaya left directly.

"Hi, Shinji."

After Tsuburaya Kazuo left, Kariya couldn't wait to ask: "Are you really not going to help the Tsuburaya family? Back then they helped our Matou family a lot."

Kariya knew very well that 2 million yen was a lot to other people, but Shinji, who had already received dividends related to FSN and Fate/Zero, would definitely be able to afford it.

Shinji shook his head: "This is not about 2 million yen."

It's only 2 million yen, of course Shinji can take it out.

And as a senior special chef, Shen Er is also willing to contribute money to help Tsuburaya through the difficulties.

But the question is, can Tsuburaya's current problem be solved with 2 million yen? !

The capital flow is broken, and the company's lack of money is just a superficial issue. Tsuburaya's real problem is the management and operation of the entire company.

If fundamental changes are not made to the entire company, even if Tsuburaya has sufficient funds, it will be wiped out sooner or later.

"If you only give money, it's basically a salary to put out the fire. Even if I give 20 billion yen, there's no way for Tsuburaya to get back on its feet." Shen Er said with certainty.

Kariya asked curiously, "Then what are you going to do?"

"Childhood debt is not easy to pay~~"

Shen Er looked up at the moon in the sky with a melancholy expression.

Why do other people's childhood homes always buy model toys or something, but when it comes to his second master, it becomes a company that wants to buy the childhood home?

Chapter 95 Tsuburaya You? Miserable

On the second day of the party, Shinji resumed his nine-to-five work on the set.

However, the matter of the Tsuburaya Company did not just pass by. In order to understand how bad the current situation of the Tsuburaya Company was, Shinji asked his little secretary Ophelia to collect as detailed information as possible about the Tsuburaya Company. Valley company information.

Shen Er has never been a person who acts when his head is hot. He likes to take one step and count three steps. He will never get involved in the game between Tsuburaya and TYO foolishly.

Ophelia's investigation still needs time, and Shen Er quickly put this matter behind him and began to concentrate on the production of the series.

After finishing a period of studio shooting, Shen Er took the crew out to the street to shoot exterior scenes in order to save the time for the prop crew to rearrange the set.

Regardless of whether it is UBW or HF, the location scenes in Fuyuki City are not too many, and the difficulty is not too great.

Because the Fuyuki City Government was very cooperative with Shinji's filming, and took the initiative to help block the streets to facilitate the filming, and even prepared a considerable tax rebate for the film crew.

Last time, Shen Er's movie fan linkage activity attracted a large number of foreign guests to Fuyuki City, which greatly stimulated local consumption in Fuyuki City.

The Fuyuki City Government was very happy after seeing this situation, and began to try to support Xingyue Company, hoping to turn Fuyuki City into Japan's Cannes.

You must know that if there is no film festival, Cannes is just an unknown third-rate tourist town in France.
