Chapter 1360: If there's a problem, let Eiichiro go commit seppuku!!

The headlines in Japanese reports have always been very exaggerated, but this newspaper actually made readers in Tokyo jump their eyelids!

"The most shocking sci-fi film in history!" "A movie that breaks the worldview!" "The most realistic dinosaur, kneel down to the bloody mouth!" "Real-name authentication 'Jurassic Park' is good-looking! If it's not good-looking, come and cut me!!" "..."

Looking at the reports in each newspaper, question marks appeared on the readers' heads... Most of them knew that these were so-called press releases, and they were press releases after the third trailer came out...

The third trailer did cause widespread discussion, and Michael Jackson's appearance was also very attractive...

But...

These promotional drafts, are they too exaggerated!!!

There were only three trailers, and there hadn't even been a preview... how could they dare to "recommend 'Jurassic Park' with my blood"?!

And saying that if it's not good-looking, go find him, and he will puff out his chest and take a knife from you?!

"Is the editor who wrote this report on drugs?!" "It's more likely that he's lovelorn?!" "In short, it's not very normal... but he is very confident in 'Jurassic Park'... it does look good from the trailer... "..."

Numerous viewpoints emerged, and everyone thought that the person in charge of external propaganda at Shuyou Film was likely to have a cramp in his brain, which was why he came up with such an exaggerated press release...

And at this time, Eiichiro Watanabe in the propaganda department, listening to the feedback from the hot-line phone next to him, was full of confidence...

"Those guys just haven't seen the movie... once they see it, they will know that this degree is definitely not exaggerated!"

Eiichiro Watanabe said to his subordinates next to him confidently.

"I went to see the preliminary cut yesterday, let me tell you, it was... amazing!"

"Uh..."

Several subordinates looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while...

"In short, you don't have to worry, these press releases were all carefully written by me... it will definitely be able to raise the heat of 'Jurassic Park' to another level!"

"..."

For a long time, Susumu Ishikawa, who had a better relationship with Eiichiro Watanabe, spoke:

"Watanabe-san, should we communicate this matter with Otomo-san and Naoki-san?!"

"No! Absolutely not!"

Eiichiro Watanabe was a bit overconfident at this time.

"Since Naoki-san handed the propaganda to me, he must be using people without suspicion and not suspecting people he uses!"

"Believe me, I will definitely make the heat of the movie continue to rise!"

"... Ganbatte!"

At this time, in the office on the top floor of the Shuyou building.

Otomo Yoshimura used the treasured tea tray for the first time in a long time and drank tea with Naoki Nagayama~

"Relaxed a lot after the movie editing was finished~"

Otomo Yoshimura looked at Naoki Nagayama who was tasting tea and said.

"The next step is the preview, right?"

"Hmm~"

Naoki Nagayama exhaled, the clear fragrance of Gyokuro in his mouth made him feel refreshed, and his whole spirit seemed to have relaxed a lot.

"Although there are still some adjustments, overall it can be considered a stage."

The subsequent addition of opening and closing credits and the like could be completely handed over to Masataka Komori and the others... and he only needed to focus on the adjustment of details.

"As for the preview..."

Otomo Yoshimura estimated the time.

"Still according to your previous arrangement, let the participants keep it secret..."

"It's not really asking them to keep it secret..."

Naoki Nagayama shook his head.

"It's to let them not say where it's good, not involving specific plots, etc. In short, the degree of this must be grasped well."

After the third trailer went out, the curiosity of the Japanese people about "Jurassic Park" had reached the peak. At this time, suddenly engaging in secrecy would instead strengthen the expectations in their hearts.

When it is officially released, the impulse to walk into the cinema will be even greater!

Although Naoki Nagayama was sure that the box office of this movie would also be very good, it would be better if the premiere results could be a little better!

"The propaganda matter is all handed over to Eiichiro Watanabe now, right?"

Otomo Yoshimura continued to ask.

"Is there no problem?! Is it okay?!"

"Rest assured, this kind of thing is using people without suspicion and not suspecting people he uses... Otomo-san, we should also delegate power to those below, otherwise how can they grow?!"

Naoki Nagayama said carelessly.

"And, what problem can there be?!"

"Even if there is a problem, in the end, you can let Eiichiro go commit seppuku!!"

Otomo Yoshimura listened to Naoki Nagayama's words and couldn't help but squeeze a cold sweat for Eiichiro Watanabe...

However, he didn't say much more. In terms of movies, he completely trusted Naoki Nagayama's judgment!

"By the way, if it's released in mid-to-late March, the end of March is exactly the time for the Oscars... are you going to the United States?!"

Mentioning the Oscars reminded Naoki Nagayama:

"That's true..."

"However, since it's released, my things will be much less afterward...

I just happen to take time to go to the Oscars... maybe after winning the big award, I can make 'Jurassic Park' famous abroad too!"

Speaking of which, if the film is played in Hollywood during the Oscars, maybe it can win orders from many European and American theater chains... maybe it can be released directly in the United States!

Naoki Nagayama was very sure that it was difficult for current European and American films to have special effects like "Jurassic Park"!

"Haha, Naoki-san is very confident!"

Otomo Yoshimura laughed.

"However, I heard from Shuichi-san that the competition for the Oscars this year is very fierce, and that 'The Last Emperor' has a great reputation in the circle!"

"A movie co-produced by so many countries naturally has strong support!"

Naoki Nagayama didn't look down on this movie.

"However, to win an Oscar, you still have to look at comprehensive strength!"

The operation behind the production company is also very important!

Now the Japanese film industry knows that "Departures" is going to impact the Oscars, so everyone is more or less on the same front, giving support... This is the breakthrough of Japanese film culture itself!

Naoki Nagayama's good friends in the film circle are even more mobilizing their connections in the circle to lobby in Hollywood, USA...

Shizhi Araki's visit to the United States this time represents the official attitude...

Overall, the support rate is still very high!

It's just that "The Last Emperor" was filmed by an Italian director, and it is in the Western cultural circle, so it has the advantage of local conditions.

"Although Naoki-san says so..."

"Haha, on this point, just believe in Shuichi-san!"

Naoki Nagayama comforted.

"I have entrusted the lobbying matter entirely to him!"

Shizhi Araki grew from adult magazine photography to a well-known director, then to the president of the Film Association, and finally transferred to politics... his experience is very rich, and he knows the unspoken rules behind large-scale activities better than anyone in Shuyou!

With him handling these things in Hollywood, Naoki Nagayama is completely at ease!

What's more, he was given very large financial assistance!

United States, Washington D. C.

The moment Shizhi Araki opened his eyes, his eyes were confused and tired... and then a strong headache came, mixed with the messy fragments of last night and a faint nausea and guilt...

He... was actually corroded by the sugar-coated bullets of capitalism!!!

Since Genta Nakai also came, the American characteristics lying on the big bed in the bedroom, Shizhi Araki had indeed experienced it... I can only say that it was much more enthusiastic than Japan...

When he put on his coat and wanted to stand up, he only felt that his legs were fighting, as if there was a weakness that couldn't stand up, and it took several seconds to recover a little.

Walking out of the bedroom to the living room of the luxury suite, alcoholic beverages and some exposed personal items were scattered everywhere, and some decorations had already fallen, and the paintings on the wall had been torn down...

In short, it was very much like the scene in "The Hangover" that Naoki Nagayama had once watched.

After finally washing up, Shizhi Araki finally recovered. Looking at the haggard figure in the mirror, he couldn't help but sigh:

"Shizhi Araki, oh Shizhi Araki, you came to America with responsibility!"

"You can't be so decadent from now on!!"

"Alcohol and lust are so harmful to the body, so from today on, I will quit..."

The weak human spirit could not resist the temptation of Slaanesh. Shizhi Araki's face was tangled.

"I will drink less alcohol!!!"

Such chaotic thoughts continued until noon!

In the restaurant, Shizhi Araki, Genta Nakai, and Yoshihiko Sugiyama, the three highest-level people of Shuyou abroad, finally gathered together.

"Shuichi-san, did you sleep well last night?"

Genta Nakai was the guy who wanted to let Shizhi Araki experience the American style...

"Uh... it's okay, it's okay!"

"Then tonight?"

"No, no, no..." Shizhi Araki opposed while eating breakfast. "Nakai-san, I'm not young anymore, I can't be so reckless!"

He was not like Genta Nakai, who was only twenty-seven or twenty-eight...

He had already been hollowed out in one night last night. If he came a few more times, this trip to America would probably shorten his life by several years!

"Alright..."

Genta Nakai looked at Yoshihiko Sugiyama again. Yoshihiko Sugiyama also shook his head repeatedly, only feeling that the boss of this Shuyou capital was too enthusiastic!

"Alright, alright, then let's rest tonight..."

"Well, well, that's the truth!"

Shizhi Araki took a sip of orange juice and continued.

"Nakai-san, Sugiyama-san, don't forget, we still have business! Naoki-san trusts us, so we must do things well!"

"Well, well..." X2

Seeing that both agreed, Shizhi Araki continued:

"Today I will go to the visiting delegation and ask Doi-san for leave... then we will go to Los Angeles!"

"Nakai-san, the matter of funds..."

"Rest assured, Shuichi-san!"

Genta Nakai patted his chest to guarantee.

"No matter where I am, I can directly transfer money over!"

"Then..." Shizhi Araki lowered his voice. "Nakai-san has been in the financial circle for so many years, do you know any tricks that give benefits secretly but are reasonable and legal on the surface?!"

"Ah! Bribery! I'm familiar with this!"

As the person in charge of an investment institution, Genta Nakai had experienced a lot of bribery.

Things like sending money and gifts were just very elementary practices, which were easy to be found and very unsafe!

For capitalists of their level, bribery could be very artistic!

For example, for politicians, use the name of political contributions to pay money directly to their campaign funds; for other business figures, you can donate directly to their charity funds; for other American celebrities, you can buy their artworks, you can have high-end banquets...

In short, bribery can be played with tricks~

"That's good!"

Shizhi Araki was very satisfied.

"We need to lobby many people in Los Angeles..."

"Hahaha, no problem!"

Genta Nakai felt that there was no challenge at all, it was just changing a vote, and it was not an illegal thing, so there would be no great resistance to lobbying~

Like when he dealt with people in the financial and business circles before, if he was not careful, he would go in.

"During the Oscars, Naoki-san will also come over... he will definitely arrange your affairs, Nakai-san, and our visiting delegation will also... maybe we will go back together by then!"

"That couldn't be better!"

The attitude of the New York Stock Exchange had eased, maybe they could really go back together!

After finishing talking with Genta Nakai, Shizhi Araki wiped his mouth and turned to Yoshihiko Sugiyama:

"Sugiyama-kun, you go back to Los Angeles first... sort out the figures we need to attack in the future... Nakai-san and I will follow!"

"Hai!"

At the guesthouse hosting the visiting delegation, Shizhi Araki only saw Takako Doi in the evening.

"Shuichi-san, how is the exchange with the American cultural circle going?!"

Takako Doi first blocked his question about Shuyou Capital.

But Shizhi Araki didn't entangle too much:

"Doi-san, the exchange with them is going very smoothly... However, these people in Washington are all bureaucrats... If I want to further understand the operation of America's cultural industry, especially Hollywood, I may need to go deeper!"

"? What do you mean?"

"I want to ask for leave to leave the visiting delegation for a while... go to Hollywood in Los Angeles, visit the Producers Guild, Writers Guild, Actors Guild, and other institutions..."

"In addition, the Oscar Awards are being organized. Such a world-famous event must have its unique features. I want to personally visit the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to understand how to operate such an event..."

"... Uh..."

Takako Doi was a bit surprised.

"You want to act independently from the visiting delegation?"

"Hai, please!"

"But... our visiting delegation is going back to Japan next week..."

"Daijoubu, the visa is valid for three months, I can go back after the exchange is completed!"

Looking at Shizhi Araki's firm gaze, Takako Doi felt for a moment that something was out of control.

She let Shizhi Araki communicate with people in the American cultural industry, on the one hand, it was indeed for her "cultural nation-building" policy afterward, and on the other hand, it was also to let Shizhi Araki not continue to urge her to mediate for Shuyou Capital.

But now...

"Shuichi-san, are you not continuing to pay attention to Shuyou Capital's affairs now?!"

Takako Doi asked directly.

"I was thinking of communicating when I met the Secretary of State in the past two days..."

"Of course not."

Shizhi Araki shook his head.

"However, Naoki-san communicated with me before. This is not just a matter for Shuyou Capital, but a common concern of the entire Japanese financial circle..."

"If we want further cooperation between the two countries, both sides must resolve this matter. This is the general trend... so I am relieved!"

"..."

Shuyou Capital's money is trapped in the New York stock market, which is similar to Europe freezing the capital of the big goose. If you want both sides to restore peaceful communication, this matter must be resolved no matter what.

And now, the United States, which is in economic downturn, is in need of Japan's investment... even if it is just to make a show, it will let Genta Nakai go back!

"Well said!"

Takako Doi also agreed.

"General trend..."

At this time, she once again raised the importance of Naoki Nagayama and Shuyou to another level in her heart.

Such a financial group with a big picture view will definitely play an important role in the government's policy decisions in the future!

"Alright... Shuichi-san, you go to Los Angeles! I look forward to your results after the exchange!"

"Hai!"

After Shizhi Araki responded, he said goodbye to Takako Doi.

Then he hurried back to the hotel and packed his luggage:

"Nakai-san, let's go, let's go to Hollywood to take a look..."

"That is the place that the Japanese literary and art world misses the most!!!"

"Oh?" Genta Nakai laughed. "Shouldn't the Japanese literary and art world care most about the movie city in Tokyo?"

"Haha, the movie industry in Tokyo is still far behind..." ===== CHAPTER 1361 =====
