Tokyo Literary Godfather

After Kei Fujiwara said this, for a while, only Changji Ono raised his hand to express his agreement.

Hearing what Kei Fujiwara said, the main creative team seemed a little caught off guard except Choji Ohno, who was mentally prepared in advance.

Even Nakajima, who was spilled coffee by Sato Mia, felt that this was not feasible and quickly said: "President Fujiwara, there is no need to do this. Doing this will also bring losses to the crew."

The movie is now less than half-way through, and nearly half of the plot related to the heroine has been filmed. At this time, a movie is highly bound to the protagonist. If the actors are changed, the movie will suffer heavy losses. , so almost no movie does this.

The movie lost a lot of money before it was broadcast. As a producer, this is not what Norie Nakajima wants to see.

Although Norie Nakajima and Mia Sato now have a personal grudge, he still has not forgotten his responsibility, which is to make the movie go smoothly and make money. Compared with this, a cup of coffee is really nothing.

It is not unheard of in the industry that such an actor and the main creator have fallen apart. There is even a saying that if the relationship between the actor and the director becomes irreconcilable, they must go to a certain level. Then the actor will go in the early stage, and the director must go in the later stage. There is no particular reason, it is because if the actor leaves the scene later, the loss will be a bit big.

And now is neither the early stage nor the late stage. But the problem is that the matter doesn't seem to be beyond the point of no return. Mina Sato is willing to apologize, and Nakajima will not hold on to this matter forever. That guy Mia Sato, just don’t cooperate in the future.

"There will definitely be losses, but the company can bear them." Kei Fujiwara said, "Loss itself is part of the cost of film production, which is normal. Although the economic losses caused by reshooting were not considered before the project of "The Embalmer" was started, But before I officially started the new season of the film project, I considered that if something bad happens and the project cannot proceed smoothly, I have a fund that can be used to reshoot the film at any time. It can be regarded as a risk-resistant fund that I have prepared. "

Kei Fujiwara looked around at everyone, "I'm going to spend the money on this."

Everyone was silent for a while, and Nakajima lowered his head: "President Fujiwara, I still feel..."

"Mr. Nakajima, don't get me wrong. I didn't make this decision to vent my anger on you." Fujiwara Kei said, "This can be regarded as redeeming past mistakes. I decided to choose the heroine of the drama "The Embalmer" At that time, I chose Mia Sato as the heroine for Fukuyamadai's publicity resources and funds, but I didn't expect that there would be unexpected negative effects. I decided to use some means to make amends."

"But this is not to save face for you Nakajima, but to eliminate as much as possible the risks that will arise in the future and the negative effects that have already been caused. I can almost foresee that if this matter is not dealt with seriously by the artists involved If so, there will be more and more such things in the future.”

"More and more actors will rely on their status in the industry, or as their roles increase, they will become unscrupulous, uncooperative with their work, and have no respect for the creators. You and I both know, A film and television project can be director-based, screenwriter-based, or producer-based, but it cannot be actor-centered.”

"Shuibo Productions needs to show determination and prestige to the outside world... Then start with her. This is not only to eliminate hidden dangers for the future of the movie "The Embalmer", but also for the development of Shuibo Productions."

"Okay, I'm done talking about who agrees and who disagrees."

Another three seconds passed, and this time, more hands went up. Including the chief cameraman and first assistant director, as well as the person in charge of publicity.

Norie Nakajima still didn’t raise his hand. He didn’t raise his hand because he really didn’t agree with this kind of behavior that he would rather throw the production cost and the filmed film into the water for nothing than to retaliate against the actors. In his past career, he had never done anything so lavish.

Secondly, it was because he was one of the parties involved and the one who had coffee poured on him. If he was too enthusiastic about dealing with Sato Mia, some people might say that he was taking advantage of the situation for personal gain.

Therefore, both in public and private matters, he could only show some indifference in his stance.

But from the bottom of his heart, he was moved by Fujiwara Keijue's decisive approach.

Although I also know that Kei Fujiwara did this more for the purpose of intimidating the entertainment industry and warning other co-actors not to think of threatening the film studio. But he must also have the idea of ​​standing up for himself to maintain his prestige as a producer in the crew.

Norie Nakajima silently calculated an account in his heart. If all the scenes involving Mika Sato were re-shooted, it is estimated that the filming budget of the crew would cost about 20 million more.

20 million... is not a small amount of money. The entire production cost of some low-cost movies is only this much.

"Okay, the minority obeys the majority." Seeing that Nakajima Norie didn't raise his hand, Fujiwara Kei said nothing more and directly announced the decision.

"Then, let's discuss again, who should be chosen as the new heroine after Mime Sato is expelled from the crew."

…

Five days in a row, the crew of "The Undertaker" did not start work, and no one called Sato Miya.

From the beginning, Miya Sato was full of grievances and bad intentions, and gradually became a little nervous, and later, a little flustered.

Is the movie not being made?

This is impossible, Kei Fujiwara's press conferences were held, and he vowed to the industry and the audience that a total of five films will be released in 1998, including "The Undertaker".

Kei Fujiwara's reputation in the industry has always been good, that is to say, the film and television projects he promised to shoot will generally be released as scheduled, and the audience and the platform will not be released. Therefore, the filming of "The Undertaker" will not stop. What's more, Miya Sato thinks that this is just a trivial matter. It was taken.

Miya Sato comforted herself in her heart.

However, as time went by, Miya Sato and her agent still did not receive a call from the crew. The manager took the initiative to ask, but the crew only replied perfunctorily: "We are still sorting out the internal affairs. Please wait patiently, Ms. Sato. I will notify you when the filming plan is restarted."

The manager had nothing to say. After all, he was in the wrong, and he couldn't aggressively say that the delay in filming would affect the artist's subsequent schedule.

Miya Sato's self-soothing therapy also failed, and she couldn't sit still, so she took the initiative to find Shiosuke Nobi, hoping that he would come forward to ask about the production of water waves.

But Mosuke Nobi respects his status. As one of the Big Five, he is unwilling to take the initiative to find a company other than the Big Five. He just comforted her and said, "The crew just wanted to show you off. The movie will definitely go on. Just wait patiently."

"How's it going? When can I go back to work? Have you asked the TV station?" Miya Sato opened the door and entered the agent's office and asked one after another.

"I've asked, but the crew's attitude is very cold and they still haven't given a detailed answer." The agent squeezed Yamane, "No wait, I'll send an intermediary to contact Producer Nakajima today and invite him to dinner. You Also go together, during the dinner I will prepare a big red envelope to apologize to him."

"Apologize now? Isn't it the time?" Sato Miya still behaved awkwardly.

The agent looked at the other party in a daze: "It's not the time yet? Then when is it?"

"At least I have to wait until the crew makes it clear that they are willing to forgive me. What if I apologize now and that guy Nakajima behaves very arrogantly and doesn't accept the apology? Then I think it's better not to apologize, otherwise he will be criticized People look down upon it." Mima Sato pouted and said, "What's more, I don't think that incident was entirely my fault. Doesn't he need to take responsibility?"

The manager looked at Miya Sato in a daze. At this moment, the landline phone on the manager's desk rang quickly.
