Chapter 584 Boss, I want to make a movie
As mentioned above, production committees are widely used in the film industry as a way to spread risk when making animations and movies.

The production fee of the film is generally paid by the production committee composed of sponsors.

Therefore, in many cases, the producer will send a producer to supervise the filming of the film.

With the entire production committee as the backstage producer, the power is even greater than the supervision of the film.

Whether it is in terms of casting or script revision, the producer's opinion cannot be ignored by the entire crew.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto thought that all the production costs of the movie would be paid by himself.

Then, symbolically formed a film production committee with only him to coordinate the entire film related matters.

In that case, it will be beneficial for him to shoot the pictures and shots he wants without caring about the opinions of the producers when making movies.

No one will whisper in his ear, asking him to change this or that. . .

After all, he is the producer.

However, this is just Sakamoto Kiyoshi's wishful thinking.

Bringing in other sponsors is not just to share the risk, but more importantly, to allow multiple companies that produce TV programs to "participate" in the production of movies.

Especially TV stations that produce drama series play a huge role in the promotion of movies.

Just like Kiyoshi Sakamoto's "Killing City", the production committee dominated by NTV not only contributed to the film's shooting funds, but when it entered the film's promotion period, NTV would definitely pay attention to "Killing City" in the film promotion period. The crew of "Urban" took good care of them.

NTV has already announced that when the protagonists of "Killing City" are announcing the show, they can be on any show at any time!
The benefits of this to the movie are obvious.

Sometimes, when a theater chain arranges a movie, in addition to considering the quality of the movie itself, it will choose more movies with significant publicity effects.

If there are two movies that are about to be released, a movie with average quality but a lot of hype, and a movie with high quality but unknown, no matter which movie company it is, they will unanimously choose the former.

And "Those Years" is just the first shot that Kiyoshi Sakamoto used to launch SMA film production.

As for the income, he actually didn't care too much.

What he wants is to let the public recognize him as a film supervisor through this film.

Of course, it is also one of his goals to praise the future stars of SMA by the way.

Therefore, after Uncle Ishida's persuasion, he also decided to expand the investor to four.

He had already taken the script and asked people in the film and television industry such as Miike Takashi, Sato Nobusuke, and Qin Jianli for their opinions.

After estimation, it does not require much production cost to make a campus youth film like "Those Years" that has no special effects and no big scenes.

2 million is enough!

Therefore, Kiyoshi Sakamoto prepared to tie the three behemoths, Sony Music, Toho, and TV Asahi, to his chariot called "Those Years"!
Among them, the attitude of Sony Music is very important.

As long as Sony Music is persuaded to fully support him, it will be much easier for Toho and Asahi. . .

To get the support of Sony Music, the first step is to convince Kitagawa Naoki!
. . . . . .

"I asked an old friend in the film industry to read your script outline and storyboard."

"Oh, how's it going?"

"He said, your story outline, as well as the shot sketches, are very good. If you can make it, it must be a good youth film..."

Putting down the script in his hand, Naoki Kitagawa raised his glasses with a complicated expression, "I heard from Ishida that you have been preparing for this movie for three years, and it took more than half a year just to adapt the script, right?"

This is the president's office in the Sony Music headquarters building in Chiyoda Ward.

There were only two people in the entire office.

Naoki Kitagawa sitting on the president's seat, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto sitting opposite him.

Although the idea of ​​preparing to shoot a movie came as early as three years ago, it is not accurate to say that "Those Years" has been prepared for three years.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto nodded and replied, "Almost..."

In his heart, he was curious about the "old friend in the film industry" that Big Brother Beichuan said.

Who would that person be? . .

"Then what do you want from me?"

Without waiting for Kiyoshi Sakamoto to speak, Naoki Kitagawa continued, "I know that you don't need filming funds."

"After all, you are the richest person in Sony, and even in Japan..."

"Hey hey." Facing the ridicule from Big Boss Beichuan, Kiyoshi Sakamoto could only smile.

"As for the actors... Judging from the type of your script, I know that you will definitely use a large number of newcomers from SMA."

"In this way, there is only one left that you want, could it be..."

"Full support from Sony up and down?!"

"Sure enough, it's the president. You, the president, have seen all my little calculations..." Kiyoshi Sakamoto hurriedly offered a wave of flattery.

After all, it is normal to ask for help from others now, and keep a low profile. . .

"Hahaha..."

Obviously, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who has become the executive director, still treats himself with a respectful attitude, which made Naoki Kitagawa very pleased.

The sense of Sakamoto Kiyoshi in my heart is also much better.

Naoki Kitagawa once thought that Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was airborne, would launch a strong impact on the position under his buttocks.

Who knows, his request is just a small SMA operation right. . .

Naoki Kitagawa couldn't understand this kind of coquettish operation.

However, after an in-depth conversation with Kiyoshi Sakamoto, he was convinced that his ambition was not above the power of Sony Music.

But a broader stage!
To be honest, when Kiyoshi Sakamoto expressed his ambition to "lead Sony Music and share the world equally with the Burning System", Naoki Kitagawa's immediate reaction was not shock or disbelief, but anger.

He even thought that Kiyoshi Sakamoto was teasing him by saying this. . .

Dividing the world equally with the flame system is just a whimsy of the young and energetic Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

However, judging from the various plans he carried out quickly after he took over SMA, he is very serious.

In this film project, it can also be seen that he is firmly moving forward on that road full of thorns!

That being the case, Kitagawa Naoki also felt that it would be okay to support him.

After all, he also wanted to see how far Kiyoshi Sakamoto could go on this road. . .

"Well, since Director Sakamoto has said so, the company will definitely support you."

. . .

Half an hour later, Sakamoto came out from the president's office.

"The next step is to see if Sony Music's brand name in this circle is so loud..."

With a slight smile, Kiyoshi Sakamoto left with strong strides.
