Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

As a film company that has been established in Neon for more than fifty years, Toho's strength in Neon ranks first among the five major film companies.

The resources controlled by Toho are also second to none in Neon. Toho, which integrates production and distribution, can be said to be the dominant player in the Neon film industry at this time.

If Lin Daoqiu wanted to find someone to cooperate with in Neon, Dongbao would definitely be his first choice.

If it weren't for sensitive issues, Lin Daoqiu wouldn't have filmed this disaster movie in Neon.

After being tired of spending a day in the hotel with Junko, Junko barely left Lin Daoqiu's body. If it weren't for being hungry, the two of them might not have been willing to get up.

"What’s wrong with you?"

When Lin Daoqiu was getting dressed, he found Junko sitting on the bed looking a little troubled.

Junko was startled by Lin Daoqiu. She was really thinking about something just now.

"No...no, what are we going to eat later?"

Junko quickly shook her head in denial.

But in fact, before she came, she had been asked by Isao Matsuoka several times to help get more information about the disaster movie from Lin Daoqiu.

If it were anyone else, Junko would definitely reject him firmly.

But Matsuoka Isao's request made Junko very embarrassed. After all, in her eyes, Matsuoka Isao had always taken great care of her, and it had been like this ever since she entered Toho Arts School.

Moreover, the other party had never asked her for help before, and this was the first time that she had asked her for help seriously, so this troubled Junko very much.

"But the expression on your face tells me that you have something on your mind. If you have any worries, just tell me directly and I can help you analyze it."

Lin Daoqiu walked to Junzi and sat down, then stretched out his arms to hug her.

Junko rested her head on Lin Daoqiu's shoulder. After hesitating for a while, she finally told Lin Daoqiu about the matter.

After listening to Junko's explanation, Lin Daoqiu was not too surprised.

A smart man like Isao Matsuoka will definitely use all available means to achieve his goals.

And since he has planned for Junko for so long, he naturally hopes to get something in return. This is also a matter of course.

"To be honest, the disaster movie is still in preparation, and the filming will have to wait until at least the end of next year."

Lin Daoqiu had to finish the few movies he had before he had time to shoot the disaster movie.

However, Lin Daoqiu had already said these words to Matsuoka Isao before. If Junko was to reply to him like this, Matsuoka Isao would definitely realize that Junko had already told him everything.

"At that time, you can go back and tell him that although the start-up time will be a little later, the filming of this movie will not take too long, and the movie will be completed in about two years."

Preparation and shooting will take about eight months, and post-production will take more than a year, which is about two years.

Compared with the previous filming of "Godzilla", Magic Studio has become more and more proficient in the use of special effects technology.

The reason why "Godzilla" took so long to shoot was mostly because when Dykstra and others first established Magic Studio, they were still in the integration and exploration stage.

Just like planting a fruit tree, it will take two or three years to bear fruit initially, and then it will bear fruit in one year.

Now that Magic Studio has entered a stable period, the production time has been greatly shortened compared to the previous period.

"Will this drama be shot in Neon?"

Lin Daoqiu didn't think much, he nodded directly.

Most of the real-life scenes of this disaster film will be shot in Neon, and the remaining small part will need to be flown abroad. After all, this is a disaster film and cannot be limited to Neon and the United States.

"Very good."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Junko excitedly hugged Lin Daoqiu a little tighter.

Because this means that Lin Daoqiu can stay in Neon for a few months. When he thinks about this, Junko feels extremely excited.

To Lin Daoqiu, this may be nothing, but to Junko, this is something she has always dreamed of.

"How about I arrange a role for you in the movie?"

This is not a difficult task for Lin Daoqiu at all, and this disaster film actually does not technically have a protagonist.

Lin Daoqiu planned to shoot it in segments, with the main characters from the United States on the American side, the Neon characters on the Neon side, and people from other countries gathered together.

After all, the biggest attraction of this drama is not only the shocking disaster scenes, but also the response of human beings in the face of disasters.

Just imagine, in the movie, when the Eiffel Tower and Buckingham Palace fall down, everyone watching the movie will probably be shocked by this scene.

Junko didn't even think about it, she just shook her head and rejected Lin Daoqiu's proposal.

Although she really wanted to stay with Lin Daoqiu, it was definitely not in this way. She was not willing to let Lin Daoqiu open the back door for her.

"No, no, it's hard for me to be the leading role in a regular movie, let alone a movie with such a large investment scale. You'd better find other actors. I won't go."

Previously, Lin Daoqiu had Junko and Yoshinaga Sayuri make guest appearances in the Lucky Star series of movies, but it was just a comedy.

Now, if Junko is asked to play a role in such an important movie, she will not accept it under any circumstances.

Lin Daoqiu was not surprised by Junzi's answer. He just asked casually. If Junzi's refusal was not thorough, then Lin Daoqiu would not mind giving her this opportunity.

But since she said so, Lin Daoqiu will not force her to star.

It doesn't matter if she can't act in this drama. Anyway, I will write a script for her to be the heroine. This will not be any difficult for Lin Daoqiu.

…………

"It can be completed in two years..."

Junko quickly told Matsuoka Isao exactly what Lin Daoqiu said.

When I heard that the production time of this drama would only take two years to complete, Isao Matsuoka's face almost broke out in laughter.

At the beginning, he originally expected that no matter how successful the play was, it would take at least three years.

If something goes wrong, it may be extended to four to five years.

But now Lin Daoqiu actually said that this drama can be produced in only two years. This makes Isao Matsuoka unhappy.

"Junko, this news is really important. On behalf of the company, I would like to thank you."

Being so solemnly thanked by Isao Matsuoka, Junko was so frightened that she quickly waved her hands.

"If there is any news about this in the future, please tell me as soon as possible. This is very important to Toho, please."

Isao Matsuoka felt that his investment in Junko was beginning to pay off, which made him very happy.
