Tokyo Literary Godfather

Yoshida Kaishi looked at the real-time box office updated daily and couldn't help but smile.

As the days passed, various expenses in the company continued, and the money gradually bottomed out. Especially since the salary was just paid last month, the money in the account dropped by a single digit.

Yoshida Heshi had no choice but to take on some outsourcing business as before, and make a little bit of it. As the housekeeper of the entire Shuibo Production, looking at the current situation where I can only get out but cannot get in, I really feel anxious in my heart.

Just when Yoshida Kashi was worried about taking sleeping pills, "My Sassy Girl" was released and began to sweep the entire movie market. Only then could Yoshida Kashi get a good night's sleep. Looking at the box office trends every day, I am trying to figure out how much money I can make from this Shuibo production.

When the news of the stolen box office came, Yoshida Kashi was excited again - not the kind of excitement when hearing good news, but the kind of fighting spirit that an old general starts to burn after seeing the traces of the enemy.

Although the current public opinion situation is definitely created by Yumizu, Yoshida Kashi has rich experience in fighting in the field of public opinion, and even public opinion changes day by day. Once you let down your guard, the other party's public relations personnel may find an angle to counterattack, and you'll be in trouble.

When one voice permeates society, people instinctively hope to hear another voice. This is a very normal social law. Therefore, for a controversial public figure, his reputation is often good or bad. Kei Fujiwara knows this well, such as Teacher Six and Guo Degang.

Mizuha Productions did not have a mature public relations team, so Yoshida Kaishi used his interpersonal relationships to find a very mature and experienced public relations person in the industry to handle public opinion for Mizuha. The publicist said: I have never had such a smooth battle, and I am a little embarrassed to accept the money.

"If everything goes well," the publicist said half-jokingly, "Maybe we can trample Songri to death this time."

Yoshida Kashi didn't take this sentence seriously. After all, it was a film company that had been established for decades. It had a solid foundation and strong strength. It ranked second or third among the five major companies. It even briefly occupied the top spot a few decades ago. , it is really fanciful to think that such a company can be brought down by such a thing.

But there is a hidden meaning in what this senior public relations officer said. What he said about crushing Matsuri to death was not the company as a whole, but someone in the company, such as the current president...

Yoshida Kashi is naturally very happy. Now Fukuyama Station has become a smoky bird. As the former director of the station, he feels very heartbroken emotionally. This season's Yuejiu drama report card has been released, and the average ratings have dropped another percentage point compared to the previous quarter. If this continues, the Yuejiu miracle that has been worked so hard to create will return to before liberation overnight.

And Nobi Shisuke is the culprit. Although the new station director is cowardly and incompetent, for a station that is on the rise and already has a benign tone, a station director who has no ideas is better than a station director who gives random instructions.

In the next quarter, the second season of "Victory is Justice" will be broadcast. It is estimated that the production company wants to save the ratings, but this drama also has Kudo Mika, and the script has been drastically changed to increase her dissatisfaction. With less scenes... I can only wish it good luck.

And because of the bad relationship between Matsuri and Mizunami, they also lost an important TV station resource... If this guy Nobi steps down, maybe the situation will get better.

So, Nobi Shisuke, you better go to hell, you are really annoying. Yoshida Kafumi said jokingly.

Within three days, a number of film production companies and distribution companies jointly denounced through various platforms the theft of box office by theaters owned by Songni Pictures.

Three of the five major film companies released their lives and solemnly condemned Matsunichi Pictures.

Naturally, these include Nippon Pictures, the publisher of "My Sassy Girl", as well as Dongjin and Dongying, which are currently ranked among the top five. When it comes to targeting the third child, the eldest brother and the second child are often very motivated, not to mention that these two companies are also the distributors of the next four movies produced by Shuibo Productions.

Various authoritative media also stepped aside one after another and began to intensively bombard Songni Pictures. After the incident was exposed, Songzhu Theater rushed to sell tickets normally, but it was too late. Many reporters began to go to major Songzhu Theaters to conduct investigations, and they also interviewed audiences who went in and out of the theaters, asking them whether they had purchased self-made tickets from Songzhu Theatre, and whether they had ever discovered any box office theft at Songzhu Theatre.

Many of the audiences who come to the Songzhu Theater are nearby residents, and many of them have come to watch movies in theaters near their homes more than once. Naturally, many people have encountered this kind of thing. Many reporters were waiting at the door of the Songzhu Theater to interview. One day I gained a lot from this. I edited and edited the interview videos of these audiences who said they had encountered Yin Yang tickets and made a compilation. After playing it, it produced an effect that almost all audiences had experienced box office theft.

Some reporters even deliberately interviewed customers in front of ticket sellers and theater staff in order to create more gimmicks, which resulted in conflicts. This was also faithfully recorded by the camera. When it was officially broadcast, the news headline was: The reporter went to Songzhu Theater to investigate the Yin Yang Ticket incident and was violently expelled by theater employees. The reporter was hospitalized for recuperation.

"They are too rough." The reporter's voice was also modified, but the bandage wrapped around the reporter's head could still be seen through the mosaic.

“After discovering that we were conducting an interview and investigation, they expelled us without saying a word. But when we showed our press credentials and said it was a normal interview, they became extremely violent and angry, and even several tall men showed up to attack us. Beating. In desperation, we had no choice but to leave the scene first, and the camera truly recorded their atrocities."

After saying that, the reporter glanced at the camera and asked, "Have you finished recording? Can you do it again this time?"

"No problem...but is this bandage too exaggerated?"

"There's no problem. News should be like this. Otherwise, how can we compete with those lower-tier variety shows for the audience's attention?"

The reporter said, casually pulling off the bandage on his head, revealing his smooth forehead.

…

"How about we compensate you 500 million yen?" Under heavy pressure, Matsunichi Pictures' legal department found Mizunami Productions, and were personally visited by Yui Mizuhara and Kei Fujiwara to show their respect.

The two people from Matsunichi Pictures were stunned for a moment when they saw Kei Fujiwara himself. They originally thought that Minami would only send two legal officers to deal with it. Unexpectedly, the big boss himself also showed up. After looking at each other for a while, they sat down and officially started talking. .

"This incident is entirely the wrong thing done by certain people in the company. Of course, we are not shirking responsibility. Even if it is an individual behavior, it is an act under the banner of the company, so we Songni will be responsible for this." The visitor said with a smile, "So we are willing to actively compensate you and have dismissed the relevant personnel. We also hope to gain your understanding."

Mizuhara Yui asked: "What kind of understanding do you hope to get? Do you want us to withdraw the statement and say it was a misunderstanding? Matsuni Pictures did not steal our box office, everything is our slander."

"Please don't be so hostile, Miss Mizuhara, we are here to talk to you sincerely." Another female senior executive on the other side suddenly said coldly, and as soon as these words came out, Mizuhara Yui couldn't help but frown.

What are you doing? Did you come here to seek peace or to raise an army to punish me? He also showed quite a bit of character...

"That's not necessary." Another person said quickly. The two of them seemed to be trying to be a good person and a bad person, which was a very typical negotiation method.

"I just need you to say that you have reached a settlement with Songri and stop making any comments about this matter. In addition... I also hope that you can appease some of your media friends. This is all you need. Our compensation will be very large. It will arrive soon.”

Before Mizuhara Yui could say anything, Fujiwara Kei suddenly said: "This request is not too much."

The other party said happily: "In that case, then we will..."

Mizuhara Yui also turned her head and glanced at Fujiwara Kei in confusion, is she so easy to talk to?

"But I don't think the wording of the 500 million yen compensation you mentioned is very rigorous." Kei Fujiwara suddenly said again.

The female executive frowned: "According to our investigation, your losses in this incident did not exceed this number."

It is estimated that "My Sassy Girl" has diverted nearly 1 billion in box office. However, this 1 billion box office is not equal to Shui Bo's income. The theater chain itself will share nearly half, and the other half belongs to the producer and distributor. Therefore, the figure of 500 million seems to be quite fair.

"That's true." Kei Fujiwara nodded and said, "But [five million yen compensation], I think the problem with the wording is not [five million yen], but the word [compensation]."

"I was walking on the road and a thief stole a thousand yen. I discovered it and the thief returned it to me. This is not called compensation, this is called return. This is my property in itself."

"After I found out, in order to express my apology, he took out all the money in his wallet and gave it to me. This is called compensation."

Fujiwara Kei stared at the two people in front of him with hawk-like eyes: "Don't you two understand the difference? I personally meet people of your level to resolve the troubles caused by your greedy behavior. Do you still need me to waste money? Will Liptongue give you Chinese lessons?”
