Huayu: Director started with art films

Chapter 52 [Experience Japanese customs, future gold medal agent] Please read
"Mr. Tanaka, you shouldn't have disclosed our intention to cooperate during the premiere tonight! I haven't fully agreed to this matter with you, Toho!"

Li Yishu's tone gradually became serious.

He is not jealous of others making money. If it was a European or American country, or even South Korea that bought the copyright and made a fortune, he would not say much, after all, it is a done deal.

But Japan...

No!

We must make a lot of money back.

"Smith Maasai, Smith Maasai..."

Ichiro Tanaka didn't know why Li Yishu's attitude suddenly changed.

But the other party's words still frightened him, and he apologized again and again: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, it's my fault. I was just thinking about increasing the popularity of the movie at the time, and I really didn't think about other aspects. Please continue to cooperate with us Dongbao."

Ichiro Tanaka was about to cry.

In the past, he was just a small person in charge of the unpopular department of overseas film purchases. Now, thanks to obtaining the film copyright of Li Yishu, he has become slightly useful.

Also because of this movie copyright, it now seems that it will bring huge and lucrative profits to Toho.

Tonight, Ichiro Tanaka received a concerned call from the president, which made him ecstatic.

But if the president knew that he had messed up the cooperation with Director Li, he would probably fire him without hesitation.

At this time when the Japanese economy is gradually declining, it is not difficult for Ichiro Tanaka to imagine his miserable life after losing his job, so he kept begging.

Li Yishu said, "Okay, Mr. Tanaka, our cooperation has always been smooth. If it is not necessary, I don't think I will easily change my partner."

"Thank you, thank you Mr. Li, don't worry, I will definitely meet your needs."

While Ichiro Tanaka was filled with gratitude, he also felt that he might have been a little too proud in the past few days.

Today is the third day since Li Yishu came to Japan, not counting the early morning. However, in these three days, he has not taken Li Jun to experience the bustling nightlife in Tokyo, Japan.

You have to know that Japan has a strong social culture.

Previously, Ichiro Tanaka saw that Lee Yi-su didn't like the Japanese custom of bowing, so he thought that taking her to the Ginza entertainment district might cause his dissatisfaction.

But now that Ichiro Tanaka thinks about it carefully, he really deserves to die!

How can you judge others not to go based on your own perception?
"Mr. Tanaka, I think we should have a good discussion about our collaboration on the movie Love Letter."

"Yes, Mr. Li, then tomorrow morning..."

"Not in the morning. I have an appointment."

"Okay, okay, Mr. Li, when are you free?"

"The morning of the day after tomorrow, I'll be taking a flight back to Hong Kong at noon. One morning should be enough, right?"

"That's enough. Don't worry, Mr. Li. I will definitely communicate with the production department."

"Well, that's it for now, Mr. Tanaka."

"Okay, okay, Mr. Li, please go to bed early and don't get too tired."

"..."

hang up the phone.

Li Yishu shook her head. This was just the box office in Japan. The revenue from Korea and Southeast Asia was definitely several million dollars, plus the revenue from the videotapes.

However, considering that the other party has always been nice, and this time they are filming "Love Letter", Lee Yi-su is definitely going to get her money back with interest.

Thinking of this, Li Yishu looked at the script that was about one-fifth written on the table, and did not continue writing. Instead, he thought about it, picked up the phone on the table, and called Hong Kong.

He planned to ask Xu Lu for help and arrange for several professionals to come for the negotiations.

In this case, even if Li Yishu asks for an exorbitant amount of money, as long as he doesn't say it himself, there will be room for easing the pressure.

The next morning.

Hong Kong River, Tsim Sha Tsui facing Central across the sea.

The nineteenth floor of a building is the headquarters of Xuzhou Tangchen Film Company.

There is a small office area temporarily separated here, with a sign of "Art Film Company" on the wall.

Because Li Yishu had not returned yet, Xu Lu was not in a position to make the decision on the location for him, so he only helped him prepare the staff and temporarily separated an office area from his own company for the other party to use.

In the general manager's office, Xu Suo said to a middle-aged woman in front of him, "Amy, this is Director Li's first time to cooperate with a foreign film company. This negotiation will help Director Li's future value in the overseas market, so we should talk as high as possible."

Amy smiled and replied, "I understand, Mr. Xu. I have had several contacts with Japanese film companies before. Director Li's work is a big hit in Japan this time. Even if our requirements are very high, I think Dongbao Film Company will definitely give in."

Amy is a professional film company manager. In her early years, she worked behind Shi Nansheng at New City for four or five years. Later, when New City fell apart, she jumped to another film company.

But many film companies in Hong Kong are just a whim, and the general process is: establishment, filming, failure, and bankruptcy.

Her previous film company was doing well and lasted for two years. However, a third-level film she shot this year did not perform well at the box office, and the company declared bankruptcy in the middle of the year.

A few days ago, Xu Suo used the connections of his own film company to send out a recruitment demand within the circle, and immediately a large number of people came to apply for jobs.

Finally, after personal screening by Xu Suo, Amy was selected as the temporary head of the art film company.

After all, she is not the boss of this company. Whether to choose Amy as general manager depends on Li Yishu's decision.

"Boss Xu, rest assured. After this, I will definitely follow Boss Li's arrangements and try my best to gain more benefits!"

Amy attached great importance to this negotiation, because if it was successful, she would be able to show her face in front of her new boss, and at the same time she would be able to determine whether she could be converted to a regular employee, or even continue to stay.

A big director, like a big star, will never lack for films to shoot.

The work of future boss Director Li has already been successful in Japan, with 30 viewers on the first day.

So for at least a few years, Amy won't have to worry about changing jobs, and she may even be able to stay there forever.

After chatting for a while, Amy prepared to go out and arrange for someone to go to the airport.

At this time, Xu Suo suddenly said, "Oh, Amy, remember to bring more new people with you. We can't let you be responsible for everything in the future. Director Li is not here now, so I can't make decisions for him, but we definitely can't have only four or five people like we do now."

"Okay Mr. Xu."

Amy left Xu Lu's office and returned to her company's temporary office area, looking at the five people in the office: a cashier, an accountant, and three newcomers.

Looking at the three busy people, Amy thought for a while and finally chose one of them: "Huo Wenxi, pack up and go to Japan with me."
