Don't call me Master, call me Director

In the eyes of everyone, if it wasn't for this guy, Tsuburaya would never have been acquired.

Even Takano Koichi, who has always been good-tempered, let out a heavy cold snort.

As the closed disciple of Mr. Tsuburaya Eiji, Takano Hiroshi didn't have the slightest affection for this guy who wanted to usurp power.

Next, Ophelia read a few more changes in middle management.

Morishima Hengyuki's lackeys were all fired, and several guys who were corrupt on the set were not only kicked out, but also given a pair of silver handcuffs, and even several leaders of Project N were demoted and punished.

Although Shen Er personally likes Ultraman Nexus, as a company owner, he must punish those who caused the company to suffer losses.

Ophelia read for a full 15 minutes before finishing reading the entire personnel change.

After hearing Shen Er, the new official's first fire, everyone felt anxious.

Not that no one wants to object.

But they don't have the key item that can save Tsuburaya from crisis - money.

You know, since last month, the company has lost even the money to pay employees.

Shen Er stood up slowly, his eyes scanned the people in the conference room, his heart was about to move, and the rhythmic BGM seemed to be ringing in his ears.

[Will I choose the version of the head of state, or the Jiajing version, or the Kangxi version for this speech? 】

In less than a second, Shinji made a decision.

He slammed a pen down on the table.

"You scum!!"

Shen Er roared angrily, pointing at those who were punished, his emotions were brewing to the extreme.

"Look at these people... who are not the pillars of the company, the talents of Yuangu...but they are rotten! They are rotten!"

Shen Er said with great pain: "Mr. Tsuburaya Eiji handed over the company to you, but you ended up like this! I am heartbroken! I am ashamed of my grandfather, I am ashamed of my grandfather! I can't wait to fire myself!"

Everyone in the Tsuburaya company looked at Shinji who was performing there with weird eyes.

[Is there such a good thing? 】

Ophelia stared straight at Shen Er, it was the first time she saw such a domineering Shen Er.

"And you!"

Shen Er's eyes swept over several people on the set one by one.

Takano Koichi, Shishoji Akio, Ota Ai...

If he was a fan now, Shen Er would be kind to them, and would even take the initiative to ask for his autograph.

But Shen Er's identity is the boss of the company, which makes these people dislike him anyway.

Because Shen Er knew very well in his heart that none of these people was clean in the bankruptcy of Tsuburaya Company.

Especially those screenwriters made Shen Er's teeth itch with hatred.

In fact, when Nexus was cut in half, Tsuburaya had a chance to get back up again.

But these screenwriters selfishly stepped on the accelerator pedal for their own expression.

Shinji does not deny the excellence of "Max", "Mebius" and "Severn X", but does Tsuburaya, who is heavily in debt, need an excellent story? !

What Tsuburaya needs is a story that can sell like the Heisei Three Heroes!

"Max" and "Mebius" are easy to talk about, but Shinji really can't understand that these people would choose "Seven X" when Tsuburaya's finances are at its most critical.

Shinji doesn't think these experts in the field of special photography will fail to see that "Severn X" is commercially weak.

He could only understand that these old guys knew that Yuangu was going to close down, so they hoped to take this last chance to pass on their thoughts.

These people think that their ideas are of great value and should be respected and recognized by everyone, but they don't even have the slightest respect for their own company!

Thinking of this, Shen Er was furious, and he roared: "No snowflake is innocent in an avalanche! You people are also responsible for the company's plight!"

"There are even some people who are more harmful to the company than the few people I fired!!"

"I advise you to think carefully about what you have done, and see if you have considered the interests of the company! Do you really think that when the sky falls, there will be a tall man to support it?!"

At the end of the scolding, Shen Er knocked on the table so hard that even the thermos next to him jumped.

If he didn't want to save some face for the old man Tsuburaya Eiji, Shen Er really wanted to pull out the old crooked neck tree to show these guys.

The scene suddenly fell silent, and only Shen Er's panting voice could be heard in the entire conference room.

Some people feel ashamed and feel that the company is in trouble and there is nothing they can do to fix it.

Some people didn't take it seriously, thinking that they had done nothing wrong, especially the screenwriters, who obviously didn't think highly of Shen Er, a "businessman".

Shen Er can somewhat guess what these people are thinking, but he is not going to continue to deal with them.

Those who should be cleared out will leave immediately, and if the remaining people drive away, Yuangu will be the same as in "history".

For those who do not accept themselves, Shen Er has a special way to deal with it.

Now that the sticks have been tapped, it's time for the sweet dates.

"I also know that Tokyo rice is expensive, and it's not easy to live in for a long time."

Shen Er tapped his fingers and said: "So I have decided to adjust everyone's wages from this month. Employees at all levels will receive a salary increase according to their job, title, position, and length of service. The minimum wage increase will be [-]%."

If the minimum is [-]%, how much is the maximum?

All the people present who were still staying at Yuangu Company were refreshed. No one could refuse this kind of pie that fell from the sky.

Because the benefits have not been good in the past few years, everyone has not raised their wages for a long time.

Although we really want to resist the tyrant Shinji Matou, but he has given too much.

Everyone is an adult, and it is impossible to refuse Fukuzawa Yukichi's temptation.

Even the screenwriters who didn't think much of Shen Er had smiles on their faces.

It's vulgar to bow your head for the sake of commercialization, but the other party takes the initiative to raise wages......

It can only be said that everyone has a flexible moral bottom line.

But before everyone finished sharing the joy of salary increase, Shen Er's next sentence stunned them all.

"Wait until next year, I will shoot a special Ultraman movie, I hope you all cooperate."

"At that time, all the profits from the film will be transferred to the company's account and become the company's future operating funds."

Chapter 100 UBW Premiere!

When Shen Er said that he would personally shoot an Ultraman movie, the expressions on the faces of everyone in the conference room changed again.

Who is Shinji Matou? He is the most profitable director in Japan!

Although he only has two works, the global box office of these two works crushes all other directors!

If this director were to direct the Ultraman movie, it would definitely be a box office guarantee!

Tsuburaya Kazuo looked at Shen Er with more eagerness in his eyes.

He doesn't like this kid who is taking advantage of others, but if the other party can really make the IP of Ultraman shine again, it's another story.

On the contrary, the eyes of the other Yuangu veterans were full of entanglement.

It is impossible for these industry insiders not to know about Shen Er's directing style.

Thinking that Ultraman would become a money-making tool for such a businessman, everyone felt extremely complicated.

For them, Altman is not only their own works, but also a medium for them to convey their ideas.

But now, the harbor of my soul is about to be polluted by ugly capital.

Shen Er didn't bother to argue with these people, he directly told everyone present about his next plan.

"My work schedule for this year is already full, so even if I want to prepare for the film, I have to wait until next year to start. It happens that the year after next will be the 40th anniversary of the birth of the Ultraman series, and I will personally plan this 40th anniversary commemorative work."

The content of the original "Mebius" project is very good, as a work of sentimentality, it can be said to be a classic among classics.

But there are also many problems with this Ultraman. You must know that "Mebius" has not made as much money as "Nexus", which was cut in half.

So Shen Er decided to personally check and direct this work, and strive to make this work a good reputation and a double harvest of money.

"What you have to do now is to think of a project that can fill the gap after "Nexus" was cut in half as soon as possible."

Although they say that Tsuburaya people can decide for themselves, Shinji reckons that they will eventually make a "Max".

Although Shen Er is not Lao Mai Chui, he also likes this work, so he is not going to interfere.

Of course, another reason why Shen Er did not choose to intervene is that many of the commercial operation problems exposed in the "Mebius" project are a continuation of the problems of "Max".

Later, when he leads the "Mebius" project, he can use "Max" as a negative teaching material.

"Brother Shinji, is what you said true?" Kazuo Tsuburaya confirmed to Shinji, "I'm asking you about making an Ultraman movie."

"Of course it's true." Shen Er smiled slightly, "The theatrical version will be the most important part of the commemorative project."

The theatrical version Shen Er said naturally refers to "Super Ultra 8 Brothers", the most influential movie in the history of Ultraman.

Now that Yuangu has been bought, if he doesn't personally direct the theatrical version of the great achievement of Zhao Heping, then his second master is not a fool?

"Really?" Kazuo Tsuburaya still couldn't believe it, "After all, the box office performance of Ultraman movies in recent years..."

A popular commercial director takes over a film project that is destined to hit the market. Tsuburaya doesn't think Shinji has the courage.

Even if Kazuo Tsuburaya didn't say anything, Shinji knew about the commercial success of the Ultraman movie.

In the original history, "Super 8" was the highest-grossing box office of the entire Ultraman series, but it only grossed 8 million yen, not even a fraction of FSN.

"I'm also a fan of the Ultraman series, my brother." Shen Er deliberately changed his title to increase the distance between the two parties, "I have no less enthusiasm and love for this IP than you. To be able to shoot an Ultraman movie, It has always been my dream. Don't worry, I will only charge a symbolic director's fee of 1 yen for this movie."

"Really? That's really nice."

Tsuburaya Kazuo smiled from the bottom of his heart.

For a director of Shinji's level, Tsuburaya couldn't even invite him, but now the other party is willing to make a movie for free, which shows that he really likes Ultraman.

Kazuo Tsuburaya didn't know that Shinji decided to direct "Super Ultra 8 Brothers". In addition to repaying his childhood debts, he wanted to test his new technology.

The technology research of Orange and Medea has ended, but Shen Er still needs to verify how much of the technology they have researched can be used in actual filming.

Because it involves a lot of technology that even Shinji has never seen before, it is difficult to know whether it will work without using it personally.

Some technology may look good, but it is not necessarily suitable for film projection.

Even with techniques that can be used in practice, Shinji needs practical experience.

In the era before Er Ye traveled, James Cameron also filmed a purely technical movie "Alien in the Deep Sea" before making "Avatar" to familiarize himself with the production process of 3D movies.

Using a sentimental movie to explore the way of his own technology, the second master thinks that this is a good thing that kills multiple birds with one stone.

"Okay, if there is nothing else, let's stop here today. The meeting is over."

After arranging everything, Shinji finished the meeting and prepared to leave Tsuburaya with Ophelia.

The post-production of the drama version of FSN has reached a critical point, and he has no time to stay in Tokyo for too long.

"Brother Shen Er."

As soon as Shinji walked out of the conference room, Tsuburaya Kazuo chased after him.

"Do you have anything else?"

"That...brother, I'm a little curious." Tsuburaya Kazuo said with an embarrassed expression, "How on earth did you get the company's shares from TYO?"

Hearing this, Shen Er raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a mysterious smile: "Guess."

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

How did Shen Er get the shares of Tsuburaya Company?Of course, use the simplest and most direct banknote ability.

TYO wants to acquire Tsuburaya, but it doesn't have to be Tsuburaya.

In the past two years, TYO has frantically merged with other companies, mainly for the technology, talents of each company and the market in the related entertainment field.

Tsuburaya, a poorly run company with first-class technology, is the best option for TYO, but it is definitely not the only option.

When Shinji found TYO and told them directly that he wanted to buy Tsuburaya and asked them to give him a price, TYO gave up Tsuburaya very simply.

The executives of TYO are not fools, a company that is on the verge of bankruptcy, and a bigwig who has channel resources in the entertainment [yú] industry all over the world, there is no need to think about how to choose between the two.

In addition, Shen Er gave a lot of money, which can be regarded as earning enough face and reputation for TYO, and the other party has no reason not to let go.
