Japanese big things

"Warner will cooperate with me?"

Suddenly hearing what Yoshinori Kanemaru said, Nakamura Masahiro couldn't help but be startled. He looked at Kanemaru Yoshinori steadily, and the other person's eyes did not dodge at all, and the firmness conveyed was as solid as the substance, which made Nakamura Masahiro clearly understand

Feel it.

"That's right, Nakamura-san, Warner Bros. is interested in cooperating with you. I wonder if you have this intention?"

Kanemaru Fang nodded solemnly and said with certainty: "As long as you have a suitable project, Warner can invest in it."

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing!

These words suddenly flashed through Nakamura Masahiro's mind, and the little caution he had had was raised to a level of vigilance. Although there was no change on the face, Nakamura Masahiro's heart began to be wary of Kanemaru in front of him.

Fangze.

Although he thinks he is capable enough, Nakamura Masahiro has always been relatively confident. But what level is Warner Company? It is a large company in the film industry, and it is also a world-famous top giant. How could it be possible that it would take the initiative to seek cooperation with him?

It's not that Nakamura Masahiro doubts Kanemaru Yoshinoori's identity, but that he is very suspicious of the other party's purpose. For ordinary people, when they heard that Warner Corporation was willing to invest in their own projects, they would have happily agreed.

But after all, Masahiro Nakamura has rich experience and experience, and is far from being a simple young man who has no experience in the world. Naturally, he is not so easy to believe in the good intentions of the other party. As the saying goes, no reward will be given for nothing, as long as the other party is not a fool, then he must have some purpose.
"Don't get me wrong, Nakamura-san, Warner doesn't have any malicious intentions."

From Nakamura Masahiro's slightly guarded eyes, Kanemaruyoshi noticed the other party's vigilance. Although he didn't know what went wrong? It was obviously fine just now, but this situation is not what he wants.

"I want to know, what is it about me that deserves Warner's attention?"

Now that the other party has already mentioned this, Nakamura Masahiro no longer chooses to be secretive. He looked at Kanemaru Yoshinori with a scrutinizing gaze, paused in his speaking tone, and then asked the question in his heart.<

/p>

"Although Warner is very powerful, I believe that Warner's money is not brought by strong winds. It shouldn't invest in other people's projects at will, right?"

"You're right, Nakamura-san."

Kanemaru Yoshi looked at Masahiro Nakamura with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He looked at Masahiro Nakamura carefully and said in a surprised tone: "Although Warner Company has money, it really doesn't throw money away casually.

Go into the pool and swim."

"I'll just tell you the truth, Nakamura-san."

After a short pause, Kanemaru Yoshi simply adjusted her attitude, and then continued in a very solemn tone: "Because of your nomination at the Berlin Film Festival, we paid attention to your existence. Then we specially looked at you.

Your work "A Long Day", everyone agrees that you have great potential."

"Warner is now planning to re-enter the film industry, and we need a group of excellent supervisory partners. As long as you are willing to cooperate with Warner, there is absolutely no need to worry about investment."

Kanemaru Yoshi spoke seductively, with a sincere look just like the snake that tempted Eve and Adam to make mistakes. The seductive tone was very attractive, and even though Masahiro Nakamura had been on guard, he couldn't help but feel a little tempted.
Warner Corporation re-enters the film industry?

Nakamura Masahiro was slightly startled by Yoshinori Kanemaru's words. He did not expect that the other party would actually say that Warner Company has re-entered the film industry? By the way, hasn't Warner Company always been one of the top giants in the film industry? Is it possible that Warner Company has also withdrawn from the film industry?

Industry?

Suddenly feeling a little confused, Nakamura Masahiro quickly turned his brain and thought hard. Based on the little information mentioned by Kanemaru Yoshino, he searched the vast mind, and many memory fragments appeared like water splashes.

Like guards waiting for review.

Soon, a memory hidden in a corner was unearthed by Masahiro Nakamura. Associations were generated from this, and more information related to it was recalled like a clue, making Masahiro Nakamura feel relieved for a moment.

.

Although Kanemaru Yoshinori in front of her represents Warner, it is actually Warner's branch in Japan, which is the so-called Warner Co., Ltd. According to popular terms, it should be called Warner Japan.

As early as the 1980s, the wave of overseas films swept the entire Japanese film market. In particular, the film "E.T. Alien" directed by Steven Spielberg has achieved great success in the Japanese film market.

A box office miracle of 13.5 billion yen.

This result is still an outstanding box office figure even in the current film market. As a result, major American film companies realized the huge power of the Japanese film market at that time, so they established branches in Japan one after another.
Warner Japan was established during that period following this trend. At first, Warner Japan didn't have many ideas, and almost no thought about producing or even distributing local Japanese films.

Its main task is to do its own job well, expand the influence of Warner movies in Japan's domestic release, and conduct better promotion in secondary sales markets such as VHS and DVD.

Because Japanese local films were in a difficult ice age at that time, except for familiar national series of films such as "Godzilla", "Doraemon", and "The Story of Torajiro", there were almost no outstanding entertainment films.<

/p>

It was not until the mid-to-late 1990s that Warner Japan made its first test of the waters. Together with Japan TV and Toshiba, it established the film production company Tovani, and in 2000, it launched Tovani's first work "Sakuya"

"The Legend of Monsters".

In terms of the quality of the work itself, "Sakuya Youkaiden" is not a high-quality work, so the final box office figure of 260 million yen can only be described as bleak. However, since the supervision of this film was by a famous special makeup artist

It was Tomoko Shiharaguchi's directorial debut, and Keiko Matsuzaka played the female Spider King, so it was quite interesting. Especially the dangerous scenes in the movie, which even became a hot social topic at the time.

Unfortunately, as the films launched failed one after another, Tovani Company suffered huge losses. In the end, after the box office failure of "Sweetheart" directed by Hideaki Anno, Tovani Company, which was already in difficulties, declared bankruptcy.

However, Warner will not give up so easily. Especially the super series of movies "Harry Potter" launched by the United States have achieved great success in the Japanese market, giving Warner Japan ample capital, so they once again

I started thinking about entering the Japanese film industry.

Because of the experience accumulated in the past, coupled with the strong database it has from entering the theater market, and its solid media relationship network, Warner Japan and Japan TV Station produced and distributed "Death W Notes".

Relying on the high IP popularity of the original comics, the excellent film quality, and the strong marketing capabilities of Warner Japan and Japanese TV, "Death W Note" was not only a great success in Japan, but also caused quite a topic in other regions overseas.

.

Therefore, Warner Japan, which saw the potential of the Japanese film market, continued its efforts and participated in the production and distribution of a series of films one after another, all of which achieved good results. Encouraged by this, Warner Japan decided to enter the Japanese film industry again and produce independently.

Shooting local Japanese movies.

"The Last Loyalty", a self-produced Japanese film produced under this background, was supervised and directed by Sugita Naomichi. Although the film's box office performance was not very good, it was quite good for a period drama.

Not bad.

From this, Warner Japan began to vigorously attack. On the one hand, it actively searched for well-known IPs with high popularity. On the other hand, it worked hard to discover potential young supervisors in the Japanese film industry and seek cooperation with them.

It was against this background that Masahiro Nakamura was nominated for the Berlin Film Festival, which immediately attracted the attention and attention of Warner Japan. As a result, Yoshino Kanemaru, the director of film business, was present for this trip.

Nakamura Masahiro was previously intimidated by Warner's reputation, but he was a little intimidated by Kanemaru Yoshinori, thinking that the other party had some unknown purpose. After finding out that the other party was Warner Japan, his mind stabilized.

p>

Although Warner is a world giant in the film industry, Warner Japan, which is rooted in Japan, is actually not much different from local companies in the Japanese film industry. Or to put it another way, Warner Japan has been integrated into the Japanese film industry.

Since Warner Japan is here to seek cooperation, Nakamura Masahiro really doesn't mind cooperating with the other party. After all, if Masahiro Nakamura launches a new project, he will definitely need investment. In addition, Warner Japan currently owns the Mycay chain of theaters, which is very important for the distribution of movies.

Advantageous.

However, according to news reports and industry rumors, the mycay cinema chain has been having financial problems. It is said that AEON Department Store intends to acquire the mycay cinema chain, but this matter has not been implemented, and I don’t know whether it is true or not.

False?

"Sorry, I have no new projects at the moment."

Although he was a little tempted by Kanemaru Yoshinoori's invitation, considering the actual situation, Nakamura Masahiro calmly chose to refuse. The TV series "Rampage of Youth" is still being filmed, and Nakamura Masahiro cannot escape at all.

In addition, because the movie "One Long Day" has been shortlisted for the competition section of the Berlin Film Festival, Nakamura Masahiro will need to fly to Berlin to attend the film festival. Coupled with the delays in other matters, he is very busy.

"Nakamura-san, it doesn't matter if there are no new projects for the time being."

Although it was a rejection, Kanemaruyoshi noticed Masahiro Nakamura's inner relaxation from his tone. So, seizing the opportunity, he struck while the iron was hot and immediately said: "Warner's door is open for you at any time."

"If you have a new project, you can contact Warner at any time."

Having said this, Kanemaru Yoshi paused, glanced briefly at Masahiro Nakamura, and said in a tentative tone: "Or, you can also choose among the projects provided by Warner."
