Japanese big things

Chapter 364 Harassment

After saying goodbye to Genki Kawamura and Yoshinori Kanemaru, Masahiro Nakamura finished dealing with relevant people in the industry and found his mother Mizuki Fukuda who was chatting in the corner.

She was currently talking to Mizuno Kazuji from Honda Company, and the smile on her face clearly meant she was in a good mood.

The little girl Meihui stood aside as if she was standing still, turning her little head and looking around in boredom, looking a little impatient.

The familiar figure next to him was the fat Akimoto Yasushi. He was smiling without saying a word, as if he was an NPC in the circle.

"Ocasan...."

Stepping towards the circle, Nakamura Masahiro took advantage of the pause in conversation to say hello.

"Masahiro?"

Fukuda Mizuki subconsciously turned her head when she heard the voice. She looked at Nakamura Masahiro up and down, smiled and said: "Are you done..."

"Um...."

Nodding slightly solemnly, Nakamura Masahiro responded in the affirmative and replied: "I'm done for now."

Then, he nodded politely to Akimoto Yasushi and Mizuno Kazushi and said hello.

"Nakamura-san, the movie is well made and it will definitely be a hit at the box office."

Yasushi Akimoto looked at Masahiro Nakamura with a smile and joked: "Maybe he will directly win the annual box office championship."

Yasushi Akimoto is also involved in the supervision industry. Although his directing ability may not be strong, his appreciation of movies is still quite high.

Based on his experience, the movie "Model Student" will definitely achieve good results at the box office.

It’s hard to say whether it can reach the 5 billion target stated by Masahiro Nakamura, but there should be no problem with a box office performance of 3 billion.

First of all, the quality of the film itself is excellent. The youth-themed campus movie was made by Masahiro Nakamura and has the quality of a spy movie and an action movie.

The ups and downs of the plot design and rhythm control are also very good. Different from the slow narrative style of Japanese local movies, "Model Student" looks more like a Hollywood movie.

The combination of unique visual style and compact narrative rhythm, superb photography skills and well-designed editing and music creates a strong visual impact.

It's obviously just ordinary cheating in the exam room, but watching the whole movie, it feels as exciting and thrilling as if you were on a battlefield.

Secondly, the marketing campaign for the movie "Model Student" was so aggressive that it almost overshadowed the promotion efforts of its competitors at the same time.

With Dentsu playing the role and assisting giants such as Toho, Warner Bros. and TBS Television, this lineup alone far exceeds the production committees of most movies.

Putting all the advantages together, "Model Student" has very strong capital and foundation, and it can be said to be the best movie of its time.

It would be strange if this movie does not achieve outstanding box office results, unless there is another 3.11 earthquake last year.

"For your good advice, if I really win the box office championship of the year, I will treat you to dinner."

Nakamura Masahiro responded with a smile, eating is just eating in a literal sense, but in fact, it is to maintain the interest relationship between both parties.

As Nogizaka46 gradually gets on the right track of development and a generous return on investment is already in sight, Nakamura Masahiro must of course pay attention to Yasushi Akimoto as a partner.

"Okay, then I'll wait for Nakamura-san to treat me..."

Akimoto Yasushi narrowed his eyes and agreed with a smile. After thinking for a moment, he quickly changed the topic and brought up matters related to Nogizaka46.

"By the way, I plan to have Nogizaka46 release their second single next week, just in time to ride on the popularity of the movie "Model Student"."

Judging from Akimoto Yasu's calm and calm appearance, it was obvious that he had already made relevant plans, and when he mentioned this matter to Nakamura Masahiro, he just informed him.

"It's up to you to decide. You and Sony will make the decision on Nogizaka46."

Nakamura Masahiro breathed a sigh of relief and replied frankly: "My focus is on movies, and I don't have that much energy to pay attention to Nogizaka 46 for the time being."

Like the entertainment circles in most countries, the phenomenon of following trends and riding on popularity is also prevalent in the Japanese entertainment industry, which is inevitable.

The movie "Model Student" has become so popular recently that naturally many people want to take advantage of it and follow suit to take advantage of the movie's huge traffic.

Rather than allowing unrelated parties to take advantage of it, it is better to give Nogizaka46 some of its popularity and traffic.

After all, Masahiro Nakamura is also the nominal producer of Nogizaka46, and he can be regarded as an investor with interests: he is making money for himself, not shabby.

"Okay, then I know how to deal with it..."

Yasushi Akimoto curled his lips secretly. He knew that Masahiro Nakamura did not have much energy to intervene in Nogizaka46-related affairs, and he was a partner who was willing to delegate power.

When Nakamura Masahiro invested in Nogizaka46, he not only valued the film and television resources owned by Nakamura Masahiro, but also took this aspect into consideration.

"Speaking of being hot..."

Mizuno Kazuji took over the topic with a smile on his face, and he said, "Nakamura-san, do you mind if Honda Company comes to join in the fun?"

"Of course I don't mind."

Nakamura Masahiro smiled and replied in a determined tone: "With Honda's participation, maybe the movie will become even more popular."

Honda is a large-scale enterprise. It not only has strong strength in Japan, but also has high visibility and influence internationally.

If Honda joins the marketing lineup, it will be even more powerful and can also enhance the momentum of the movie "Model Student" in overseas markets.

Whether it is released in overseas markets or directly sold the film rights, it will definitely increase a lot of revenue.

"Yahong, why didn't you see your father?"

After Nakamura Masahiro, Akimoto Yasushi and Mizuno Kazushi had finished chatting, his mother Fukuda Mizuki cut into the topic.

"Didn't you send him an invitation?"

"Uh... It seems that my father is cooperating with the Agricultural Cooperative. He has been very busy recently."

Nakamura Masahiro secretly observed the face of his mother, Mizuki Fukuda, and saw that her face was calm, so he answered with some hesitation.

"So, I didn't send him an invitation... I'm afraid he wouldn't go all the way to Tokyo to attend the premiere."

"That's right..."

After pondering for a moment, his mother Mizuki Fukuda sighed sadly, and then nodded to express her agreement.

If the premiere of the movie "Model Student" had been held in Kanazawa, maybe Masahiro Nakamura's father would have made time to attend.

But this is Tokyo, which is hundreds of kilometers away from Kanazawa. With Nakamura Tomimasa's character and habits, I'm afraid he wouldn't choose to come here.

"How did he get involved with the Farmers' Cooperative?"

Fukuda Mizuki frowned slightly, and asked in a strange tone: "Agricultural cooperatives are not simple."

"I don't know either...."

Shaking his head, Nakamura Masahiro was also quite confused about this question. He didn't know when his father Nakamura Tomimasa got involved in the agricultural cooperative?

Contrary to many people's stereotypes, the Agricultural Cooperative is a very powerful force in Japan. Even those high-ranking politicians do not dare to offend the Agricultural Cooperative easily.

You must know that the Agricultural Cooperative has a large number of farmers' votes in its hands. If it offends the Agricultural Cooperative, it means that it is not far from stepping down.

There is no need to deliberately target the Agricultural Cooperative, as long as the Agricultural Cooperative changes sides in the election, the congressman who offends the Agricultural Cooperative will only lose the election.

"I remember that he seemed to have said before that he wanted to acquire part of the property rights of Hokuriku Broadcasting..."

Fukuda Mizuki thought hard while considering: "Could it be related to this matter?"

Akimoto Yasushi and Mizuno Kazushi looked at each other for a moment. It seemed that the contents of these topics were not what they should hear?

However, Nakamura Masahiro and his mother Fukuda Mizuki didn't care, and they continued to talk openly.

"Maybe...but I don't know what my father thinks. We are all busy with our own affairs."

"Then, if you have time, remember to remind him..."

Fukuda Mizuki's expression was a little solemn, and she said in a warning tone: "It's not easy with the Agricultural Cooperative. Even if we cooperate, we must carefully consider it."

"Well, I understand."

Nodding solemnly, Nakamura Masahiro agreed with a serious look: He didn't know much about the Agricultural Cooperative, but for his mother, Mizuki Fukuda, to be so cautious, this Agricultural Cooperative must be very troublesome.

In fact, when I think about it, it seems normal. Among all powerful units and departments, which one can be easily dealt with?

Not to mention the power-rich Agricultural Cooperative, even Toho Corporation, which is cooperating with Nakamura Masahiro, if Nakamura Masahiro cannot bring benefits to the other party, even if there is a relationship with Dentsu Corporation, Toho Corporation will become ruthless.

With a casual glance from the corner of his eye, Nakamura Masahiro noticed Meihui, who looked a little anxious. The little girl's pursed lips looked like there was a soy sauce bottle hanging on them.

"Masahiro, go ahead and do your work... Ito-san is here to find you."

Just when Nakamura Masahiro was about to tease the little girl Mie, he suddenly heard the words of his mother Fukuda Mizuki, and he couldn't help but raise his head.

Following the direction of his mother's gaze, Nakamura Masahiro saw Mika Ito and Riho Yoshioka not far away. Both of them looked like they wanted to get closer but didn't dare.

"Okay, then I'll leave first."

Nodding to Akimoto Yasushi and Mizuno Kazushi, Nakamura Masahiro and his mother Fukuda Mizuki said goodbye, and then walked towards Mika Ito.

"President..."

"President..."

Seeing Nakamura Masahiro coming over, Ito Mika and Yoshioka Riho quickly bowed and saluted, and greeted him respectfully.

"What's wrong...."

Nodding slightly to respond to the two of them, Nakamura Masahiro stopped and stood still, asking with a calm expression: "Is something the matter?"

Riho Yoshioka shrank his head and involuntarily retreated a little, as if he wanted to hide behind Mika Ito.

Mika Ito noticed Yoshioka Riho's little movements, and her expression was a little helpless. She reluctantly raised her spirits and said: "President, this is Yoshioka-san..."

After a pause in her tone, Mika Ito turned her head and glanced at Riho Yoshioka, and then replied with a bit of resentment: "I just took her to meet the seniors in the circle, and she accidentally said the wrong thing, and she seemed to have offended someone."

"What exactly happened?"

Nakamura Masahiro turned his attention to the somewhat timid Riho Yoshioka, his scrutinizing eyes were like a sharp falcon hunting, exuding a majestic aura.

"President, I didn't mean it..."

Pursing his lips, Yoshioka Riho defended a little aggrievedly: "It's that senior. He spoke too much, so I couldn't help but give him a few words."

He closed his eyes and rubbed the bridge of his nose. Masahiro Nakamura didn't believe Riho Yoshioka's words. The juniors in the entertainment industry were going to suffer a lot, and there was nothing that could be done about it.

If the firm behind the scenes is not strong enough, no matter how much the seniors go overboard, the junior artists can only choose to endure it silently.

Of course, Masahiro Nakamura will not let Riho Yoshioka be bullied, but if he comes forward casually over trivial matters, he will be considered to be making a fuss out of a molehill, which will easily cause the firm's business to be opposed by the circle.

"Meixiang, tell me..."

"The president is comedian Ken Watanabe. He harassed Yoshioka-san and his words were indeed a bit frivolous..."

"Is it him?"

Hearing this name, Nakamura Masahiro suddenly looked strange. He really didn't expect that Watabe Ken would appear at the premiere of the movie "Model Student".

I thought that Ken Watanabe had a good relationship with the members of Arashi, maybe he came here with the members of Arashi.

By the way, Masahiro Nakamura just slept with Ken Watanabe’s future wife Nozomi Sasaki not long ago. Is it possible that Ken Watanabe is here to make love to her now?
