Chapter 11 Specialized in killing mature people

When Kentaro Miyamoto arrived and parked his car, the first person he saw was Hideki Ishihara.So, he took the initiative to say hello: "Brother Xiushu, what a coincidence."

Ishihara Hideki said calmly: "It's not a coincidence, but I am waiting for you here specifically."

Kentaro Miyamoto immediately smiled and said, "I'm really flattered. How can I let the second son of the Karuizawa Group, one of the top ten chaebols, wait for me?"

Ishihara Hideki said without any mincing words: "I plan to make a new movie and need someone to invest."

The smile on Miyamoto Kentaro's face began to show his bitterness: "You really don't treat me as an outsider. Everyone knows that you are very experienced in making movies. If this relationship is not good enough, you will never mention investment. things.

However, as far as I know, you have made many movies over the years, but none of them have made money.To be precise, there is not even a movie that can almost break even. "

Ishihara Hideki did not defend the truth he told: "Are you going to vote or not?"

Even though Kentaro Miyamoto knew that the money would be wasted, he had no intention of refusing and said: "I will definitely vote. This is why Hideki-san thinks highly of me."

Ishihara Hideki said calmly: "I don't mean to force you. Even if you don't invest, it doesn't matter at all. The worst is that I will sacrifice myself again to find Misako to invest. Anyway, I'm used to it."

Kentaro Miyamoto said with emotion: "Sister Misako is really great. She has made so many purchases for your personal feelings and hobbies without any regrets. It is really not easy."

Ishihara Hideki said bluntly: "My sacrifice is even greater. Now, I am just a man who eats soft food."

Miyamoto Kentaro didn't believe this at all and said: "Don't come here. If it's really like what you said, then you're just a softie."

Ishihara Hideki said calmly: "It's precisely because I know you made a lot of money last year that I made this comment."

Kentaro Miyamoto got straight to the point: "How much do you want? Give me an accurate number."

Ishihara Hideki suddenly became expressionless and said: "Why don't you ask me what type and theme of a new movie I will shoot?"

Miyamoto Kentaro didn't even smile, and he didn't say even if he didn't smile: "Is there an essential difference? In the end, it's not about losing money and making money."

Ishihara Hideki said without anger: "Why, you don't even think highly of me?"

Kentaro Miyamoto said calmly: "It's not that I don't think highly of you, but... how should I put it? Others use their strengths and avoid their weaknesses to do what they are best at. When you come here, why do you have to use your weaknesses and avoid your strengths?"

Ishihara Hideki told the truth about what he was thinking: "It will be more interesting to challenge yourself."

Kentaro Miyamoto said sincerely: "Even if it is what you said, shouldn't you first consider the matter of capital preservation?
Even the famous directors in Hollywood will consider the cost.The very few that they don't consider will be seriously considered by film company executives.

No matter how high the artistry is and how good the reputation is, it still needs strong support from the box office.Making a movie costs money.No matter how small the cost is, it is still money. "

Ishihara Hideki said thoughtfully: "If others say this to me, I don't like to hear it. Now that you have said it, what do you think?" Kentaro Miyamoto said without hiding it at all: "You You know, I like ACGN. In RB, not only young people, but also many middle-aged people and even old people also like ACGN.

Some of them would rather not buy a car, buy a house, fall in love, or get married, but still invest money into their personal hobbies without hesitation.

Since there is such a broad market, why don't we start from this aspect?Wouldn’t it be possible to film a movie adapted from a comic book, a movie adapted from a novel, a movie adapted from a game, or a movie adapted from an animation?
There are many movies adapted from American Marvel movies that have achieved artistic quality, good reputation, and high box office! "Superman", "Batman", "Spider-Man" and so on have left wonderful memories for generations of people.

The 2019 movie "Joker" directed by Todd Phillips, coupled with Joaquin Phoenix's palace-level performance, is undoubtedly a movie classic.

After the online game "World of Warcraft" became popular all over the world for many years, the movie "Warcraft" adapted from it also achieved good results.There have been rumors that the second part of the movie "Warcraft" is also in preparation. "

Ishihara Hideki pointed out: "If you make a movie like you said, just the adaptation rights of an IP will be a huge expense."

Kentaro Miyamoto said eloquently: "It would be meaningless if we just make a small fuss. Of course, the film we shoot must first be based on RB's domestic market.

As for the selection of adapted works, first of all, it must have a certain degree of popularity and popularity.Secondly, there must be actors with certain fan appeal and popularity.

Secondly, there are naturally no shortage of veteran actors who can act. After all, their presence can ensure the quality of a film to the greatest extent.In the end, it comes down to your ability as a director. "

Ishihara Hideki smiled softly and said: "You also missed the most critical point, funds. The funds required for this filming are definitely not small. In addition to you as an investor, I have to recruit a few more Just come in."

Kentaro Miyamoto is definitely not talking nonsense.He knew very well that the other party's movies that were losing money were all low-budget movies.Not only that, it is still a niche art film, not a commercial film.

In his personal opinion, Ishihara Hideki's past films were more like playing tricks.Once the investment is large, based on my many years of understanding of Ishihara Hideki, the other party will definitely become serious.

In addition, the Karuizawa Group already has some well-established film production companies and theater chains.Therefore, there will be no problems with subsequent distribution, promotion, etc.

If Ishihara Hideki really accepts these suggestions of his, even if it does not achieve a double success at the box office and word of mouth, it may not really be a loss-making investment project.

Ishihara Hideki pondered for a moment and said: "Are you really planning to play this big?"

Kentaro Miyamoto looked into his eyes and said seriously: "You won't feel timid anymore, will you?"

Ishihara Hideki said loudly: "When the time comes, don't regret it."

Kentaro Miyamoto gestured with his hands and said: "Whoever regrets it is the tortoise."

Seeing that he was determined, Ishihara Hideki said no more.At the same time, it is indeed a big challenge for him.
