Chapter 1344: A mere trailer can also cause heated discussion?!

~14 min read 2,603 words

While holding little Xia Hua and watching TV at night, Naoki Nagayama waited for the broadcast of the movie trailer.

The huge TV screen made the images in the trailer very clear, and the oppressive feeling of the heavy footsteps seemed to be right around them... And when the T-rex suddenly appeared, the little one in his arms was also startled and hurriedly used Naoki Nagayama's hand to block in front of her~

"Roar~~"

The sound of the T-rex roaring directly made Eitaro, who was originally huddled nearby, flee behind the sofa, and even Meitaro in the cat bed arched his back and looked at the screen alertly...

"Akina, it's really realistic, right!"

Naoki Nagayama said proudly to Akina,

"This is the special effects footage of *Jurassic Park*!!!"

"Yeah! Very amazing!"

Akina naturally wouldn't be scared by a trailer, but she was also surprised by the lifelike T-rex, as if it had really been resurrected from the Jurassic era.

The scene where it suddenly rushed out and roared made people feel like the T-rex would run out of the TV... making people shiver!

However, she looked at her daughter who was peeking from behind Naoki Nagayama's hand and was a bit surprised:

"I didn't expect Hua-chan wouldn't be scared to cry! Such a terrifying monster..."

Naoki Nagayama lowered his head to look at little Xia Hua and pinched the little one's chubby face with a smile:

"Hua-chan also went to the filming site of Jurassic Island, right? It's not like she hasn't seen the T-rex model... She was a little scared at first, but wasn't she very fond of touching the T-rex's teeth and eyes later..."

"So that's why she's not overly scared now!"

"Ah... it seems that really happened..."

Akina also recalled their vacation time on the island.

"Hua-chan hasn't been afraid of dinosaurs for a long time..."

"Yeah, yeah~"

Looking at his cute daughter looking up at him, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her... Sure enough, everyone says you have to raise a daughter~

"By the way, how is Jurassic Island now?"

Akina asked.

"After filming is finished, is it empty..."

"Of course not, the filming site is still there after filming is finished."

Naoki Nagayama explained.

"The sequel will also be filmed there later, and then there's the construction of the theme park, which is already at the end of the second phase... the third phase is also about to begin..."

"It's expected to open by mid-year!"

Hearing this, Akina sighed:

"There will definitely be many fans going there to check in by then!"

"Hahaha, yeah... one movie makes a tourist spot popular!"

Naoki Nagayama laughed.

"In the future, everyone will know what 'culture drives industry' means!"

Currently, Prime Minister Doi's planning team is studying the policy of "Nation Building through Culture," and *Jurassic Park* might become the best model... Once everyone sees the actual benefits, the feasibility of this policy will definitely be greatly enhanced!

As soon as the first trailer for *Jurassic Park* was broadcast, it immediately attracted Japan's attention.

Because it was relatively late the night before, everyone could only discuss it with their families, but from the next morning, the entire circle of friends was discussing this trailer!

Housewives who had seen it chatted and said, "It's very vivid, it's like it's real..."; students on their way to school and between classes discussed how domineering and fierce the T-rex was; and adults who had seen the trailer chatted in the workplace on their way to work about what technology *Jurassic Park* used and how much it cost...

As the trailer began to spread through channels like TV screens in department stores, subway stations, and TV, the heat of the discussion became stronger and stronger, and the topics became more and more numerous!

Some people were looking forward to the official release date, some were discussing whether the T-rex was distorted, and some even went to buy the *Jurassic Park* novel, wanting to explore whether cloning dinosaurs was really feasible!

The entertainment industry was also caught off guard by such a trailer...

In the new year, while other celebrity scandals, new idol dramas, and variety show plans were in full swing, they didn't expect to be stolen of the limelight by a movie that hadn't been released yet!

"How can a trailer from Tree Friends cause such a huge heat?!"

"Isn't it just that the picture is a bit more realistic, the T-rex is a bit fiercer, and the special effects are a bit better? What's the big deal!"

"If only the T-rex's heat could be given to my family's star!"

"People are not as good as a T-rex!! This entertainment industry has finally peaked into a look we don't recognize..."

"Since the new year, there hasn't been such an attractive hot spot for a long time!" "Can we think of a way to let my family's artist catch this wave of heat?!"

"....."

Everyone started to study how to catch this wave of heat~

And the relevant personnel in the film circle started to analyze this trailer frame by frame... They developed a strong interest in the latest special effects technology!

"Truly amazing..." "Can't tell it's a dead object at all!" "Compared to previous special effects, it's really a generation ahead!" "This guy Naoki Nagayama is really capable!" "......"

Producers, directors, and editing teams from Toho, Toei, Shochiku, and even Kadokawa started to hold emergency meetings, discussing whether to learn from Tree Friends and introduce the latest special effects technology...

Naoki Nagayama at the Tree Friends building was naturally also being crazily harassed!

In the office, Naoki Nagayama helplessly held the receiver, answering Kadokawa Haruki's call:

"Haruki-san... this kind of technology is not mature at all, we started from scratch and built the 3D data of the dinosaur bit by bit..."

"It can't be used on other images at all!"

"I know, I know... I know Haruki-san is not short of money, but this is not a question of money, but it really doesn't exist!"

"If you don't believe me, come to Tree Friends and see for yourself! I'm adjusting the special effects shots in front of the computer myself!"

"......"

As the helmsman of Kadokawa Films, Kadokawa Haruki was relatively young and had a stronger pursuit of film art.

He called early in the morning, wanting to ask Tree Friends to buy the relevant technology...

"But how can I sell something I don't have!"

Naoki Nagayama helplessly declined.

"Wait until the production of *Jurassic Park* is over, the special effects team will be trained, and then these people can be lent to Haruki-san..."

"Then it's a deal!" Kadokawa Haruki on the phone immediately agreed. "For my next movie, I also want to use better special effects!"

"That's for sure..."

But the money can't be less!

The conversation between the two ended in a relatively harmonious atmosphere, and just when Naoki Nagayama was about to go downstairs to continue working, Otomo Yoshimura happened to knock on the door and enter.

"Naoki-san... do you know how many calls I've received this morning?!"

Not many people knew Naoki Nagayama's private phone number, but as the CEO of Tree Friends and a social butterfly, Otomo Yoshimura's phone number was known to many people.

Once the trailer was released, many people came to show concern, and their words were all about "the movie will be a big hit," "cooperate in the future," "you're good, I'm good, everyone is good" and so on~

"Hahaha, isn't this a good thing?!"

Naoki Nagayama said to Otomo Yoshimura with a smile.

"Looks like the special effects company we talked about before has great potential!"

"That's true..."

Otomo Yoshimura also showed a smile. He used to have some doubts about opening a subsidiary specifically for film special effects. After all, the Japanese market wasn't that big, and how many people would specifically look for a special effects company!

He didn't expect that the movie hadn't even been released yet, and just a trailer had made so many people's hearts move.

"Just one trailer has made so many people call to inquire."

At this time, Otomo Yoshimura was already very confident.

"Wait until the movie is officially released... I don't know how big an impact it will cause!"

"However... since it has such an effect, should we increase the promotion... Naoki-san, what you said before about the preview... should we change it?!"

For this preview, Naoki Nagayama wanted to play a trick. He wanted to prohibit taking photos and recording during the preview and keep it confidential... only letting the audience of the preview stir up the curiosity of other audiences through text, interviews, and exclamations.

"Change?"

Naoki Nagayama paused.

"No need to change, no need to change the preview..."

"However, we can increase the promotion in the previous publicity..."

"Aren't there two more trailers? We will increase the promotional efforts for these two trailers... At the same time, we will invite other film critics to conduct closed-door interviews and let them discuss the special effects technology..."

"In short, we must create an atmosphere that is both mysterious and novel..."

"That feeling of only being able to see a glimpse, but knowing there is a dragon in the clouds!"

"Finally, attract the audience to walk into the cinema and watch the whole film!"

Naoki Nagayama, who came from the information age, knew too well how to promote! You have to know that the Marvel hero series even planned spoilers carefully, and fake news could even become a promotional strategy...

"Hmm hmm hmm, no problem!"

"By the way! Naoki-san!"

Thinking of this, Otomo Yoshimura suddenly said,

"Should we notify the actors of the movie not to accept too many interviews, and even if they do, don't talk too much about the specific situation of the film..."

"Hahaha, let them talk!"

Naoki Nagayama shook his head. The plot was already written in the novel, just with some adaptations...

"Anyway, they don't know what the special effects scenes will look like when they are finished!"

"Even I don't know the full picture now!"

This statement was actually not quite correct. Currently, the editing work had been more than half completed, and some classic shots had already been edited!

Plus the memories in his brain, Naoki Nagayama had basically completed the footage of the entire *Jurassic Park*... just waiting for a while to piece it all together!

"Naoki-san... can the specific release time be determined?"

Otomo Yoshimura continued to ask.

"Many people have specifically asked about this... we need to prepare more tickets for related people!"

"Hmm... expected to be at the end of March!"

Naoki Nagayama gave a rough estimate.

"I will try my best to finish editing by mid-March and start the preview!"

"That's almost two months away..."

Otomo Yoshimura clicked his tongue.

"This will make the audience wait anxiously!"

"Haha, don't worry!"

Naoki Nagayama laughed.

"In mid-February, on Valentine's Day, their hearts will be broken! My novel *I'm Sorry, I Love You* is about to be published!"

"!!! That novel!"

Otomo Yoshimura naturally knew about it, and even read it himself... To be honest, he was so old and had experienced so many things, but he still felt his eyes turn red after reading it...

Sigh... it looks like he is still an innocent person, his heart is still young!

"Yeah... the trial version should be out in these two days..."

Naoki Nagayama laughed.

"I'll send Otomo-san a few copies then... for your family to read!"

"......."

If they read it, it will be a flood of tears!

After chatting for a while longer, Naoki Nagayama hurried downstairs and came to the editing room again.

Editing work actually consumes more time as it goes on!

Prime Minister's Official Residence in the National Diet Building.

Prime Minister Doi's staff team was actively discussing the "Nation Building through Culture" policy proposed by Shuichi Ido. After so many days of discussion, the policy direction, which originally only had a preliminary outline, had begun to slowly fill out.

It could almost be called a first draft!

Of course, for a policy proposal to be passed, more work was needed, such as reporting, holding hearings, supplementing details, voting on whether to pass, etc...

However, now that the ruling party occupied the majority of seats, the possibility of Takako Doi pushing through a certain policy was still very high.

After reading the first draft overview in the office, Takako Doi was still very satisfied, and she looked at Shuichi Ido with a smile:

"Shuichi-san, you've worked hard!"

"Not at all... this is my duty!"

Shuichi Ido's face was a bit tired, but his eyes were very bright.

Because of this proposal, he had initially established a small team within the Social Democratic Party, with a group of young members joining in, and even lawmakers like Yoshihiko Noda... his status had also stabilized quite a bit.

At least, he now had weight when speaking in the staff team!

Sure enough, you only need a name for doing things within the system, then you can pull together your own team! The so-called "doing things requires a righteous name" means exactly this...

"Once this proposal is perfected, Shuichi-san will be the first contributor!"

Takako Doi smiled and encouraged Shuichi Ido. As a senior politician, she used the trick of drawing big cakes very skillfully.

"If the policy is passed, then Shuichi-san will definitely get the corresponding reward!"

"Doi-san is joking, this proposal is everyone's hard work..."

Shuichi Ido took the opportunity to claim credit for his small team and flattered his superior by the way.

"If the policy is passed, it is all because of Doi-san's full support!"

Look, having only been in politics for a short time, his ability to manage upwards had grown by leaps and bounds!

"Haha, Shuichi-san is too modest..."

"Not at all...."

After a few compliments, Takako Doi talked about other things:

"By the way, the information organized by the Cabinet today... mentioned a very interesting thing, the trailer for Tree Friends Films' new movie has caused heated discussion!"

"Does Shuichi-san know about it?!"

The Prime Minister would receive information organized by the Cabinet every morning to understand major domestic and foreign events, similar to news prompts in QQ groups in the future... I didn't expect it to mention the trailer for *Jurassic Park* today.

"Ah! It's the trailer for *Jurassic Park*!"

Shuichi Ido showed a smile.

"The new movie is very excellent, the trailer only reveals one percent of it!"

"Does Shuichi-san mean you've seen the whole film?" Takako Doi was a bit curious.

"No, no... Naoki-san hasn't finished editing it yet!"

Shuichi Ido shook his head.

"I just went to the Jurassic Island where it was filmed!"

"Oh? Is there really a Jurassic Island?!"

"Haha, it's just a filming base, it will become a theme park in the future!"

Shuichi Ido introduced.

"Once it opens, maybe it will be like Disneyland!"

"Then I'll have to go see it!"

"If Doi-san wants to go, it's naturally what I'm hoping for..."

"....."

The idle chat between the two ended quickly. After Shuichi Ido left the Prime Minister's office, he couldn't help but sigh:

"I didn't expect Naoki-san's new movie, even the trailer could attract the attention of the Cabinet!"

"Speaking of which, when those previous movies were released, the Cabinet should have paid attention too... I wonder how the former Nakasone viewed those news..."

(Nakasone in the hospital: Is there a new movie again... but what does it have to do with me? My eyes are blurry and I can't see clearly...) ===== CHAPTER 1345 =====
