Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 587 Preliminary Preparations
In the office, Uncle Ishida's report is still going on. . .

"What about Dongbao? How much is the investment? Are they willing to help us contact the relevant film crew?"

One by one, like a rain of arrows, they shot at Uncle Ishida.

Uncle Ishida seemed to have been prepared for a long time, opened the document he had been holding, and handed it to Kiyoshi Sakamoto who was sitting opposite.

"Although Dongbao has expressed concern about your position as a supervisor, but because you have also served as the main character of the movie while serving as the supervisor." At this point, Uncle Ishida paused before continuing: "You used to The record as the main character is too magnificent, which makes Dongbao have great confidence in you, even though this is your supervisory debut..."

"So, they invested 4000 million!"

"As for dividends, they want 20 percent."

"Hmm..." Kiyoshi Sakamoto pondered and nodded, "Yes."

"As for the manpower of the film crew, Dongbao very generously helped us contact professionals who have participated in the filming of "Just Love You", "My First Love That Belongs to You", "Love in the Sky" and other films."

"Oh! This is also good, with professionals leading me, I may make fewer mistakes..."

A complete film crew has six departments.

In addition to screenwriters who do not belong to any department, it is divided into director group, production group, production group, photography group, art group, and recording group.

In fact, so far, apart from the director and screenwriter, the production crew of "Those Years" has been confirmed, and the staff in other departments has not been given a single word.

Therefore, Kiyoshi Sakamoto used Sony's face to ask Dongbao to help recruit crew members.

After all, Toho is Toho. As Japan's largest film company, it releases eight films every year, if not ten. Of course, there is a senior film team at hand.

After all, as a rookie directing for the first time, Kitagawa Naoki was afraid that Sakamoto Kiyoshi would not be able to handle it, so he specially invited him. Dongbao's senior crew team was just to support him!

Pull Dongbao, just for this!
If Kiyoshi Sakamoto was to prepare for this alone, it would definitely not be so fast.

. . . . . .

a few days later.

Tokyo Metropolitan Government, Shinagawa Ward, SMA.

In a spacious conference room, Kiyoshi Sakamoto met the heads of several crew departments one by one under the introduction of Naoki Kitagawa.

"Sakamoto-kun, this is our producer, you should be very familiar with it..." Naoki Kitagawa pointed to a skinny middle-aged man, and introduced.

"Of course!" Sakamoto Kiyoshi quickly got up and greeted the middle-aged man sitting opposite: "Morikawa-san, long time no see, Genki?"

"Thanks to Sakamoto-kun, it's okay..." Morikawa Shinyuki also nodded with a smile.

Makoto Morikawa is one of the producers of "Love in the Sky" and an old acquaintance of Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

"Then this time, I'll leave it to you, Morikawa-san."

"Don't worry, I will try my best."

After some politeness, Sakamoto Kiyosai continued to meet the next person in charge under the introduction of Kitagawa Naoki.

"This is the photographer Ichihashi Orie-san..."

"Ichihashi-san, hello, I like your "Paris" very much. The gentle Japanese atmosphere in it is still unforgettable to me."

"Uh...thank you for your compliment." Faced with Kiyoshi Sakamoto's enthusiasm, Ichihashi Orie, a gentle older sister who seemed only in her 20s, was a little flattered.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's enthusiasm is not just flattery and politeness, but full of surprise and sincerity.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto didn't expect that Sony would find Orie Ichihashi for himself!
This celebrity in the photography industry is not only active in Japanese magazines and advertising circles, but also has photographed print advertisements for many famous brands such as McDonald's and Uniqlo. She is a very popular female photographer nowadays.

In particular, the works of Ichihashi Zhie present a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere.

Because she is used to taking pictures with a film machine, and she develops the negatives, her works all present a unique light blue and pink tone.

In addition, her works also bring people a feeling of sunshine and warmth, which makes people want to jump into that beautiful world involuntarily.

Such a warm photography style is very close to the sense of image that Kiyoshi Sakamoto wanted to express in "Those Years".

Therefore, when he saw Shiqiao Zhijiang, he was also very happy in his heart.

A good photographer can make the picture in the mind of the film supervisor better visualized.

Shiqiao Zhijiang is just such a photographer. . .

"This is art director Morishita..."

"Please advise me a lot!"

"This is Maeda, the crew coordinator..."

"Please advise!"

Soon, after the introductions of the heads of several major departments, the producer Morikawa Makoto asked.

"Sakamoto-kun, I heard that the screenplay for this film adaptation came from your pen?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Then do you have a general idea for this movie?"

As the main investor, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who is also a supervisor, screenwriter, and lead actor, has the absolute right to speak in the entire crew.

Therefore, even if he is a rookie supervisor who has not published any works, Makoto Morikawa and others all value his opinion very much.

"It's like this. The reason why I was inspired to make this movie was because I read the original novel." Kiyoshi Sakamoto picked up the original novel "Those Years" on the table and began to explain.

"This is a youth that touched me very much, with a touch of regret. It is a love story that everyone who has had youth will resonate with. Moreover, compared to the imperfection of pure love, the ending of this story is actually It makes people feel moved in their hearts.”

"I believe that if this film is made, it will definitely trigger a new wave of youth films!"

"Of course, this movie, in the final analysis, is still a campus romance movie. The selling points are feelings and youth within reach. There are no large-scale and special effects. Therefore, [-] million yuan is enough for shooting."

"I hope that there will be a large-scale publicity for this movie."

"In addition to the normal publicity methods, I think that by learning from the successful example of "Love in the Sky", this "Those Years" can let more audiences enter the theater."

"Oh? "Love in the Sky"? Then what are you going to do?" In the conference room, everyone's curious eyes focused on Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

"I will find a publishing house to translate this original novel of the same name into a Japanese version, and then three months before the movie is released, we will first make this novel popular!"

"Finally, at the hottest moment of the novel, the movie took advantage of this momentum and was released!"

"The two-pronged approach of the novel and the movie will inevitably arouse the topic. In this way, the movie is already half successful!"
