Huayu: Director started with art films

Chapter 95【The hottest top director! 】

the next morning.

Li Yishu woke up in a daze. He glanced at Izumi Sakai who was sleeping beside him with her eyes closed. She was sleeping quietly, her eyelashes looked so long, and her breathing was slow and long. If it weren't for the lipstick smeared all over her mouth, she would still look very quiet if you only looked at the upper half of her face.

Thinking of drinking too much Sakai Izumi water last night, Lee Yi-su sighed that she is worthy of being a rock singer.

Although he looks very artistic, the passion in his bones will still burst out at night.

After kissing her on the cheek, Li Yishu stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

As the footsteps faded away, Izumi Sakai's eyelids trembled slightly a few times, but in the end she did not open her eyelids.

She had actually woken up a long time ago, but when she thought about what happened last night, she felt ashamed and angry. Obviously, confession should be initiated by boys, so why was it the other way around for her?

And he even asked for a kiss. Izumi Sakai felt so ashamed that she couldn't face anyone.

slam-la-

Hearing the sound of the toilet flushing in the bathroom, Izumi Sakai immediately turned sideways and grabbed the sheets on her body to prevent Li Jun from noticing that she woke up.

Li Yishu looked at Izumi Sakai who was still sleeping soundly, and without thinking too much, he walked to the pile of clothes, took out his cell phone, and called Amy, "Yes, I'll go over there tonight. Don't come to find me, I'm out. By the way, tell Dongbao to invite Izumi Sakai over tonight..."

After chatting with Amy for a few words, Li Yishu hung up the phone and felt a little hungry.

Having expended a lot of energy last night, drunk Izumi Sakai was completely different from usual.

"Jingle Bell--"

Just then, the phone rang in the house. Li Yishu thought it was hers, but it was not hers. She looked around and found Izumi Sakai's phone on the floor.

Li Yishu couldn't quite understand the Japanese words on the call. He glanced at Izumi Sakai who was still sleeping, and hung up.

"Jingle Bell--"

It hung up one second and rang again the next.

After several rounds of back and forth, just when Li Yishu was about to remove the battery panel, Izumi Sakai sat up with a red face and covered her body with the bed sheet: "Li Jun, give me the phone."

"Oh oh." Seeing the other person's appearance, Li Yishu quickly handed over the phone, and at the same time she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that Izumi Sakai had woken up a long time ago.

"Hello, yes, yes, okay, we are going to attend Mr. Li's celebration party tonight, right?"

Izumi Sakai looked at Li Yishu. She had just heard Li Yishu's phone call.

Kuroda's agent said excitedly, "Yes, Izumi, this is a good opportunity. It's such a pity that you didn't agree to perform last time. This time, you must establish a good relationship with Director Li no matter what."

After Izumi Sakai refused to play the role in "Love Letter", Kuroda's agent kept sighing and feeling sorry for it. As the movie became a big hit, he felt it was even more of a pity.

Now Toho called and invited Izumi Sakai to attend the celebration banquet. Kuroda's agent's first thought was that it must be Director Li's intention.

After all, Izumi Sakai did not sing the theme song of "Love Letter" this time.

"Okay, I got it. I still need to sleep, so I'll hang up now."

Izumi Sakai hung up the phone immediately. What Kuroda's agent said made her feel inexplicably shy.

Please, how can we maintain a good relationship after having sex?

Holding the phone in her hand, Izumi Sakai blushed and lowered her head, not knowing how to face it.

Just as Li Yishu was about to speak to ease the awkward atmosphere, she heard the other person's stomach rumbling.
"You're hungry, Quanshui? Shall we go out and get something to eat?"

"well."

Izumi Sakai's face turned red. She really didn't expect that her stomach would suddenly growl, but she was indeed hungry.

But just as Izumi Sakai was about to get up wrapped in the bed sheet, she suddenly stopped and frowned.

Seeing this, Li Yishu glanced at the mark on the bed and said, "I'd better call for takeout. Quanshui, do you have a takeout phone number?"

"Yes, it's on the table."

Li Yishu turned around and went to the desk. Wow, there were more than a dozen business cards for takeout pasted on the side of the desk.

They were all in Japanese, and he didn't know what to order, so he just picked a few at random and handed them to Izumi Sakai, asking her to order more.

After half an hour.

The takeaway has arrived.

Izumi Sakai also came out of the small bathroom.

Looking at Li Yishu sitting cross-legged on the floor aisle with a sumptuous breakfast in front of her, under the sunlight outside, Izumi Sakai suddenly felt that this scene was very warm, very much like the way she imagined couples getting along with each other.

night.

A big hotel.

In the banquet room, Ichiro Tanaka was all smiles, chatting with people from time to time. He was in a very good mood in the company during this period of time.

Everyone knows that the only staff member that Director Li communicated with at Dongbao was Ichiro Tanaka. After the number of viewers of "Love Letter" exceeded 10 million, Dongbao Film Company's internal rating of Li Yishu also rose from A to S.

This is an internal assessment of Toho directors, from B to S. Among them, S-level directors are basically all able to bring Toho fame and fortune, such as Godzilla's father Tsuburaya Eiji, Japanese animation master Hayao Miyazaki, film master Akira Kurosawa...

These great directors are all excellent directors who have brought huge profits to Toho Film Company.

Lee Yi-su's "The Mountain, the Man, the Dog" last year earned Toho an A-level rating for Lee Yi-su. Although the movie only had more than 3 million viewers, it is a Chinese-language art film and it has achieved such excellent results, which is unprecedented in Japanese history.

Not to mention the "Love Letter" this time, the total investment of about 1000 million US dollars in publicity and promotion has brought back several times the profit, and there are subsequent overseas copyright income other than China.

He truly deserves the title of S-level director!

Ichiro Tanaka was able to rise to a higher position. He worked in the film purchasing department, which had never received much attention in the company, and was later promoted to deputy manager of the company's production department.

At this time, an assistant came running over in a hurry: "Manager Tanaka, Supervisor Li is here!"

Hearing that Li Yishu was coming, Tanaka Ichiro suddenly realized and asked hurriedly, "Where is he?!"

"at the door!"

Ichiro Tanaka didn't care about anything else and hurried out of the banquet room. When he reached the corridor outside, he saw Li Yishu walking towards him holding Sakai Izumi's hand, followed by manager Kuroda with a smile on his face.

Manager Kuroda had just waited for Izumi Sakai at the hotel entrance, but what he didn't expect was that he saw Izumi Sakai and Supervisor Li getting out of the car hand in hand.

Although the specific situation is not yet clear, looking at the two people talking and laughing while holding hands, it is obvious that their relationship is not ordinary.

This also made Kuroda's agent feel very emotional.

It turned out that the quiet Izumi Sakai had already taken action against the rising star Director Li.

Toho Co., Ltd. attached great importance to this celebration banquet. It was not only to celebrate the fact that the number of viewers of "Love Letter" exceeded 10 million, but the most important thing was to tell other Japanese film companies that Director Li still trusted them and was willing to continue cooperating with Toho.

In order to send out such a signal, many Japanese artists were invited, including Takeshi Kitano, Takuya Kimura and Miho Nakayama, who were known to Li Yishu.

There are even more unfamiliar artists, hundreds of them.

However, except for a few who Li Yishu was familiar with, most of the others were just familiar faces.

"Director Li, I'm Takenouchi Yutaka..."

"I'm Miyazawa Rie..."

"..."

Many artists came to say hello, and Lee Yi-su mostly responded with a smile.

Before coming, he knew he would definitely be the center of attention, but he didn't expect to be so popular.

In fact, Lee Yi-su is quite famous in Japan now. Not only is "Love Letter" a big hit, but the most important thing is that she made Nakayama Miho and Kimura Takuya famous. The former was named the first love of the Japanese nation by the newspaper, and the latter is a national idol.

It is no exaggeration to say that during the period when "Love Letter" was popular, these two people almost crushed most of the male and female artists in the Japanese entertainment industry and became the well-deserved king of topics from February to May.

In addition, Japanese brokerage companies are good at hype. Seeing that the popularity is so high, they directly let Nakayama Miho and Kimura Takuya start a relationship and form a couple, and put forward the slogan "The unfinished love in the movie will continue in reality"!

In an instant, all those who felt relieved from depression after reading the love letter became excited.

The setting of the movie is not good, because the male protagonist appears at a funeral at the beginning, and he is the one lying in the coffin and being bowed to.

Although it has appeared as a memory many times, many people are still sad that such a beautiful relationship has disappeared just like that.

Now that the actors have gotten together in real life, no matter whether it is true or not, let’s just have fun watching it. CP parties are not exclusive to the 21st century, they have existed for a long time.

Miho Nakayama and Takuya Kimura have been on magazine covers, accepting advertising endorsements, and appearing on variety shows recently. They can be seen on almost every TV station, every newspaper, every magazine, including bus stops and subways.

The kind that is truly popular all over Japan!
Under such circumstances, Lee Ye-su, as the great director who made both of them famous, naturally attracted much attention from Japanese actors.

Who doesn’t want to be noticed by Supervisor Li and become an overnight sensation!

More than an hour later.

The celebration banquet is over.

"Mr. Li, the company is interested in cooperating with you again, and the conditions this time are better than last time."

Ichiro Tanaka followed Li Yishu happily and started talking about continuing to seek cooperation.

"Mr. Tanaka, there is no rush for cooperation. There will definitely be opportunities in the future."

Li Yishu smiled and pointed at Izumi Sakai, who was chatting with the popular female singer Miyuki Nakajima behind Kuroda not far away, and said, "Mr. Tanaka should have seen the relationship between me and Izumi?"

Ichiro Tanaka quickly congratulated him, "Yes, Mr. Li, you and Ms. Sakai are a perfect match made in heaven. I have never seen such a perfect couple."

Li Yishu said, "Okay, Mr. Tanaka, I came to you because I want you to take care of Quanshui. If you have any questions, just call me directly."

"It's okay, Mr. Li. When you showed up with Miss Sakai this time, everyone already knew that you and Miss Sakai were in love."
