Chapter 2931 Change of Thoughts

Maekawa Kiyonori and Okada Shigeru quickly caught up with Lin Daoqiu and followed him out of the airport.

This time, Lin Daoqiu did not let either Maekawa Kiyonori or Okada Shigeru ride with him, so the two of them could only ride in a car together. Such a move had never happened before, which shows Lin Daoqiu's attitude towards them.

In other words, the views have changed a lot compared to before.

"That's not good."

On the way to the hotel, Okada Shigeru suddenly said something worried. Maekawa Kiyonori next to him didn't react at all, but he actually thought so in his heart.

"If this continues, our relationship with Mr. Lin may become increasingly estranged. If someone suddenly jumps out at this time..."

"What? What on earth are you talking about?"

Maekawa Kiyonori didn't understand what Okada Shigeru meant by this sentence. What did it mean that someone suddenly jumped out?

"I mean, if someone takes advantage of this moment and replaces us, what do you think will happen?"

Okada Shigeru's worries are not unreasonable, but Maekawa Kiyonori does not think that such a situation will occur, because at this time Neon only has a few big film companies, Toho is impossible, and Lin Daoqiu does not

He may make peace with Dongbao, so it is impossible for such a person to appear.

"You are a little too worried. As long as this period of time passes, everything will get better. After all, no matter how you do this, it will cause public outrage. If it succeeds, it will not be of any benefit to everyone. In this case, why should we take the risk?

To push forward with such a big risk? Just for the sake of conscience?"

Maekawa Kiyoshi didn't think it would do any good to help Lin Daoqiu promote more rest time for artists. To put it bluntly, they were just people working for capitalists, but their status was much higher than those of actors and directors. Lin Daoqiu's

This reform would not benefit them at all, so they would not take such a big risk to help him push it.

"You are right. We are not as conscientious as Mr. Lin. He does think about issues from the perspective of an artist. I admire him very much, but that's all."

"Stop talking about this, let's think about how to talk to Mr. Lin later."

Maekawa Kiyoshi was a little irritable. Although Lin Daoqiu didn't say anything, his actual actions had already shown it clearly. If this continues, it will only get worse.

When the motorcade arrived at the hotel, Lin Daoqiu, Maekawa Kiyonori and Okada Shigeru got out of the car, and the two followed Lin Daoqiu into the hotel.

"Mr. Lin, if possible, I hope that I can participate in the promotion of "Onmyoji" in North America this time."

At this time, Maekawa Kiyonori suddenly stood up and expressed that he was going to North America to handle the promotion work of "Onmyoji". He wanted to participate rather than be responsible because he did not have that much ability in Hollywood, even if he was the president of Shochiku.

Compared with Lin Daoqiu's status and connections in Hollywood, it can be said that one is in the sky and the other is in the earth.

"Of course it's no problem, but...are you sure you really want to go?"

Lin Daoqiu turned back and looked at Maekawa Kiyonori with a puzzled expression. Participating in the promotion of "Onmyoji" in North America is not a bad thing, but it actually does not do much good for Maekawa Kiyonori. It can even be said to be a bit embarrassing.

It's a waste of time. If he just went to attend the premiere of "Onmyoji" in North America, Lin Daoqiu wouldn't be surprised. It's just that he has to participate in the promotion of "Onmyoji" in North America, which makes Lin Daoqiu feel

It's a little strange.

"Yes, I hope that through this promotion of "Onmyoji" I can accumulate some experience, and by the way, I can talk about the possibility of Shochiku's movie being released in Hollywood."

Kiyonori Maekawa is certainly not a fool. After "Onmyoji" is released in North America this time, if it really does what Lin Daoqiu predicted and achieved a box office of 500 million or even 1 billion, then this kind of traditional neon movie should have

It has attracted the attention of many people. If this kind of movie is released immediately afterwards, it should still make some box office revenue.

Maekawa Kiyonori would not be stupid enough to expect an income at the level of "Onmyoji", but as long as one-tenth or even one-twentieth-thirty is a huge sum of money for Shochiku

income, so he naturally has to work hard in this area.

They didn't do it in the past because they only focused on the local market. Although they had ideas in Hollywood, they thought too much because of their conservative ideas, but basically no one except Toho did it. But now the situation is completely different.

In the face of huge interests, Maekawa Kiyonori obviously had an idea.

The funding and production costs for film shooting in Neon are not high. If a film that can earn back its investment in Neon is released in Hollywood, as long as it can earn a normal income, it will be a big profit for them.

It's very profitable, but not many people were willing to do it before.

Now that Lin Daoqiu is a beacon, Maekawa Kiyonori begins to have ideas. He feels that if Shochiku wants to gain greater benefits from his cooperation with Lin Daoqiu, then he must take this step, as long as he has enough funds.

With support, Shochiku will be able to produce more and better movies, and it will not be impossible to surpass Toho by then.

"Of course it's no problem, but you have to deal with it yourself as to how to talk about it. I won't interfere."

Lin Daoqiu didn't think too much. He felt that Maekawa Kiyonori did all this just to make Shochiku more profitable. What Lin Daoqiu didn't notice was that when he and Maekawa Kiyonori were talking about this matter, there was a man standing next to him.

Okada Shigeru could hardly hide the surprised expression on his face.

Maekawa Kiyonori was going to Hollywood to participate in the promotion of "Onmyoji". At first, Okada Shigeru felt that this guy was just flattering Lin Daoqiu, deliberately pretending to work hard for Lin Daoqiu, and wanted to

This won Lin Daoqiu's favor, but what Maekawa Kiyonori said next directly shocked Okada Shigeru.

The idea of ​​​​showing Neon movies in Hollywood is not something that no local Neon filmmakers have thought about, but most people have not done it because everyone thinks that those in Neon movies in Hollywood simply don’t do it.

If you can't watch it, it won't do much good at the box office if it's released, so everyone is too lazy to do it and just focus on the local market.

But Shigeru Okada thought about it carefully, excluding movies like "Godzilla" that don't have much neon culture. If "Onmyoji" can really be a big hit in Hollywood, it means that neon culture is the representative

The movies are also acceptable and popular in Hollywood.
