Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 179: Exquisite and Sexy Japanese Lady

After the main creators of "Dracula" left Japan, Aaron stayed because he wanted to set up the Japanese branch of Akebono International Pictures in Tokyo, Osaka and other places.
We are responsible for the screening of Akebono's films in Japanese cinemas, rental and sales of videotapes, and resale to TV stations!

Assistant Esther Beckett also followed Aaron to Japan to assist in the establishment of the branch.

"Indecent Proposal's box office in Japan was 13 billion yen, which is not bad."

In the suite of the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, Aaron sat on the sofa, looking through the documents in his hand.

"Boss, we're collaborating with Tokuma Bookstore. We've made an appointment with Tokuma Yasushi to have dinner together tonight!"

The Tokuma Shoten Group is a large entertainment company group consisting of Tokuma Nippon Communication, which focuses on music and video software, Daiei Co., Ltd., which specializes in film business, Studio Ghibli, which specializes in animation, Tokuma Intermedia, which specializes in games and personal computers, and Tokuma Press Center, which specializes in newspaper printing.
The previous Chinese film "Ju Dou" was funded by Tokuma Shoten and filmed by Zhang Yimou!

"Porco Rosso, produced by Studio Ghibli and animation master Hayao Miyazaki, achieved a box office of 28 billion yen in Japan this year, becoming the annual box office champion in Japan!"

Now, the exchange rate of US dollar to Japanese yen is about 1:120, and 28 billion yen is more than 2300 million US dollars, which is really not low.

In the evening, Yasukai Tokuma, founder of Tokuma Bookstore, hosted a banquet for Aaron Anderson at the Hotel Okura in Tokyo;

As a luxury hotel newly built in Japan in the 1960s, the Okura Tokyo Hotel has no traces of European and American architecture. It is a Japanese-style hotel built entirely in accordance with Japanese characteristics.

Yasuyoshi Tokuma is over 70 years old and has served as the chairman of the Tokyo International Film Festival since last year!

During the dinner, after seeing Aaron's youthful appearance, Tokuma Yasushi could not help but sigh, "Mr. Anderson is indeed a young and promising man."

Dawn Pictures is a new type of film company that has been releasing hit works for several consecutive years. It is not easy for it to stand out from the crowd of several major Hollywood film studios.

Aaron smiled and said, "Yesterday, I watched an epic movie. It was really well made!"

"Oh, which movie is it?"

"Dunhuang!"

"Dunhuang" is a war history blockbuster filmed in China at a cost of 45 billion yen by Tokuma Shoten a few years ago.

"I like Dunhuang, too. There's so much worth studying in Chinese humanities and history."

Tokuma Yasukai had no idea about Aaron Anderson's knowledge of Chinese culture, and it seemed like he was speaking casually.

Aaron didn't continue, but got straight to business. "Akebono is growing stronger in Hollywood, and the international market is currently our focus. I value Japan as the world's second largest consumer market;"

"Therefore, it is urgent to set up a branch of Akebono in Japan to distribute film and television works!"

Tokuma Yasushi nodded quickly, "Daei operates its own cinemas and is fully capable of representing Akebono's works in marketing and distribution in Japan."

Japan's film industry is currently sluggish, meaning its developed animation business is somewhat competitive. Meanwhile, Hollywood and Hong Kong are vying for the Asian film market, of which Japan is the most important.
Yasuyoshi Tokuma doesn't find it strange that Hollywood attaches importance to the Japanese market.

After a while, a sexy and beautiful woman came to Aaron and was responsible for pouring wine. Because the woman had a slim figure and delicate features, Aaron took a look at her curiously!
Yasushi Tokuma on the side smiled and said, "This is the champion of this year's Japan national beauty pageant, Miss Japan this year, her name is Norika Fujiwara, and she is about the same age as you, Aaron." "Norika Fujiwara?" No wonder. Aaron thought about it for a moment, then raised his glass and drank a glass with Yasushi Tokuma.

Afterwards, Aaron put his arms around Norika Fujiwara and Yasushi Tokuma and quickly chatted about the current Japanese film industry and its scope in Asia and the world;
As for Akebono setting up an office in Japan to be responsible for the distribution of movies, now with the cooperation of the local giant Tokuma Shoten, it will definitely be very fast.

During the dinner, both of them were very happy...

After enjoying dinner, Aaron deliberately went to experience the indoor hot spring of the Okura Hotel, and Fujiwara Norika came in with drinks;

The good figure of 34E is indeed attractive. She came to the pool and rubbed Aaron's back.

"Are you in the entertainment industry?" Aaron asked the girl beside him after taking a sip of wine while lying on the edge of the pool.
Although Fujiwara Norika's English is not fluent, she can still speak some. "Well, I signed a modeling contract with Tokuma Shoten. Now I mainly shoot magazines and advertisements!"

Aaron turned around, hugged the plump queen-like girl, and kissed her on the face. "I need a guide these days. You can stay with me for a while;"

"When the time comes, I'll have Tokuma Shoten give you a role so you can make your debut smoothly!"

Fujiwara Norika smiled and pressed herself tightly against the man's chest, "I do."

Japan's entertainment industry is well developed, but the competition is also fierce. Norika Fujiwara came from a beauty pageant background and has no other resources.

"Great, I want to go to the hot springs tomorrow, you'll be in charge of making the arrangements!"

Norika Fujiwara thought for a moment and suggested, "Let's go to Hakone. It's not far from Tokyo, and the hot springs are famous. The environment is quiet and the scenery is beautiful."

Aaron nodded. "By the way, I might have to go to China in a few days. You should also prepare to accompany me."

"After that, you'll stay in Hong Kong for a while until Christmas, right?"

This year's Hong Kong films are extremely popular, and can be regarded as a peak year. Unfortunately, Aaron knows that the parabola of Hong Kong films has reached its highest point;

Next, the Taipei market collapsed, and Hollywood released the special effects blockbuster "Jurassic Park", which would deal a huge blow to Hong Kong films!

The Japanese and Korean markets have always been the backyard of Hong Kong films, and many Hong Kong stars are extremely well-known in both countries.

For example, Jackie Chan is currently more famous in Japan than Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone.

Norika Fujiwara took the initiative to kiss Aaron on the face, "Well, I'll do as you say."

Of course, Norika Fujiwara would have no objection. She just won the Japanese beauty pageant this year, and now she can meet a Hollywood billionaire. This is a rare opportunity for her!

"Hmm," Aaron hugged the plump and sexy Fujiwara Norika and kissed her passionately. The girl also hugged the man tightly and responded enthusiastically.

Aaron really didn't expect that Tokuma Yasushi would be so lucky as to directly introduce the 21-year-old Fujiwara Norika to him;
Or is it Norika Fujiwara who just won Miss Japan?

Not long after, Aaron returned to the suite carrying Norika Fujiwara!
