Tokyo Literature and Art Times

Chapter 127 Is the movie good, listen to what the director has to say!

"Ah this..."

"Huh? Are you awake?"

"Mingcai, I'm so sorry, I actually slept like this all night."

"It's nothing... ouch, no, no."

"what happened?"

"I, I, I can't move!"

"Then, what should I do?"

"how could I know!"

"Wait a minute, I have a solution, wait a minute."

"Oh wait... what happened after that?"

"After what?"

"I mean after a while?"

"Just wait a minute, what's next?"

"Awu! You bastard! I'm going to be angry!"

"No, really, just wait!"

"Huh? Could it be..."

When he opened his eyes the next day, Takeshi Iwata finally figured out why he had that dream.

Well, it's that kind of particularly comfortable dream, no wonder it feels so elastic.

I wanted to apologize, but unexpectedly, I was faced with a problem right away.

Mingcai's legs are numb.

This is how to do?

In fact, Takeshi Iwata thought of a solution very cleverly, but this solution was the same as his 'that man'.

Yes, the solution is 'wait a minute'.

Speaking of this plan, Takeshi Iwata also thought of the heroine in "Kill Bill". After Uma Thurman just woke up, her legs were unconscious.

It was about 13 hours before she moved her thumb.

In this way, we can simply calculate.

In the movie, Uma Thurman lay in bed for 4 years, and she spent 13 hours, while Takeshi Iwata slept on Akina's lap for a whole night.

≈ 'wait a minute' with exact rounding.

When Takeshi Iwata reported his rigorous scientific attitude to Akina, the queen star didn't talk about martial arts.

While laughing, he punched Takeshi Iwata several times, but in the end he couldn't beat it anymore because his stomach hurt from laughing.

Fortunately, after a while, it really recovered.

In the house of the Iwata family, the atmosphere is full of joy again.

All in all, another happy day for the young couple.

……

The leaves are turning yellow, and Tokyo doesn't seem to be getting hot anymore.

But the cool air makes people feel very comfortable, but everyone also knows that it is time to prepare for winter.

Sangu was walking on the street, he was much more energetic than before.

"Furuhata Rensaburo" has been confirmed to start filming soon, and Fuji TV has quite recognized this work.

You know, for San Gu, he has considerable confidence in this TV series.

Because this is a super anti-routine reasoning drama!

Well, it is actually an imitation of the American drama "Altar of Colombo".

But this TV series also has many innovations, San Gu is very confident.

In short, after joining Iwata Films, everything seems to be developing in a good direction.

And when Mitani thinks of Iwata-san...

"I am not optimistic about Director Iwata's new work "Infernal Affairs (Continued)"!"

"After all, as far as the upper part is concerned, the main characters have already had their 'results'. Everyone, please pay attention to the 'results' mentioned by the author. It is not death, but the 'results' of the characters, that is, they have already been fulfilled."

"I dare to predict boldly! The characters of "Infernal Affairs" will be resurrected in the sequel! Just like Shura Xueji back then."

"Toho's movies in recent years are really going downhill. Probably we can only rely on Takeshi Iwata."

Not only TV stations, but also newspapers and magazines, some so-called film critics ridiculed Takeshi Iwata's new work.

But to be honest... San Gu couldn't refute these claims forcefully.

Quite simply, there is some truth to what these people are saying.

In the movie "Infernal Affairs", almost all the characters' endings are explained.

In other words, if it is for the original role, there is no need to make another one at all.

Fortunately, although San Gu didn't really participate in this sequel, he did know some information.

That is, the characters in "Infernal Affairs" did not enter "Infernal Affairs (Continued)".

This is a very bold decision.

But looking at it right now, it can definitely surprise those who make unreasonable comments.

However, some problems make people feel helpless.

Dongbao has a dark history.

Doesn't "Asura Xue Ji" just make Xue Ji stand up and kill people again?

Therefore, from the perspective of the outside world, Takeshi Iwata may be pressured by Toho, which will lower the style of the sequel.

Sangu knew that this would not happen.

But what about ordinary people?

And what about the film critics who create such topics?

It's really hard.

Sangu also understands who probably come from so many 'different voices'.

It must be the queen of Janice who is doing something.

But will the masses be unaffected?

Although Takeshi Iwata has achieved great success, "Kill That Man" still has a box office aftermath.

However, Iwata-san's current situation is not easy.

There is another key that even Sangu is very curious about.

What kind of movie will this "Continued (Continued)" be?

In addition, how will Iwata-san reverse the passive situation?

……

"What do you think? As long as you keep cursing, it will work!"

"Mom, but there is no basis for these claims. The movie hasn't been released yet?"

"Does he have any basis? Just talk about those gossip magazines. Is there a basis for their revelations?"

"This……"

Marie Kitagawa, she can finally be proud for a while again.

Through long, persistent efforts to make one's own voice heard (Takeshi Kuroiwata).

The current public opinion has finally changed to a certain extent.

Although "Kill That Man" was very successful, Takeshi Iwata was still a young supervisor after all.

Will his films remain of a high standard?

Especially this "Infernal Affairs (Continuation)", could it be a work without sincerity to make money by taking advantage of the success of the previous work?

At first, everyone didn't think so, but someone always jumped out and said that, so, many ordinary people were really led in the wrong direction.

Regarding the wind direction, maybe it hasn't been systematic yet, but how could she not understand such an old world like Marie Kitagawa?

There are also many artists who were hacked by Johnny's before.

Mary really hated those media, especially gossip magazines and tabloids, but she had a lot of experience after fighting for so long.

This time the reverse operation is used to deal with Takeshi Iwata. It can be said that the old sow wears a fierce mask, one set after another.

In short, Empress Janis was very proud.

In any case, even if this movie is very sincere, according to the current voices of many doubts.

For example, the original box office of 10 billion may be 8 million left.

Even, with a direct discount, 5 million is also possible.

So, Iwata Takeshi really has no means to fight back?

……

Takarazuka Building, many people are also thinking about countermeasures.

"Everyone, the external public opinion is very unfavorable to us now. Although we are not the main body of this film, it is our film after all. If the market does not respond well, we Dongbao will also be affected."

Yamauchi was speaking, and he belonged to the naysayers.

Shimaya is now a grasshopper on the same rope as Takeshi Iwata, and he will definitely stand up and fight back.

"Those so-called public opinions are just a few voices. There are many people who simply want to gain attention. I don't think there is anything to be afraid of!"

"Attracting eyeballs, it also attracted a lot of attention. If the response is not good when it is released, then the previous public opinion will become a bomb and be detonated, and the word of mouth is likely to drop rapidly. Shimadani-san, I don't need to remind you. you?"

"I completely trust Supervisor Iwata. His works have always had a good reputation, so there is no need to worry about this!"

"But how can we take risks?"

"What kind of business is risk-free?"

"In short, you have to think twice before acting."

"That's really slow!"

The two men fought in one place again.

In fact, conservatives and reformers have come up with their own countermeasures.

Conservatives felt that it would be better to just let the movie 'wait' before it was released.

It's just that it takes a long time to wait. You know, this year, two of Takeshi Iwata's movies have been released. So, wouldn't it be okay to schedule this movie for next year?

The beginning of next year is the awards season, and you can wait until next year to participate in the Berlin Film Festival.

Didn't Director Iwata just walk around Europe before, and came back to release after being gilded, and achieved great success?

Not to mention, the conservatives headed by Yamauchi, the method they proposed is quite reasonable.

As for Shimaya, it was much simpler.

Simply take advantage of the popularity of "Kill That That Man" and arrange it to be released around Christmas.

Grab the last good schedule of this year and use the box office to shut up those 'different voices'.

But it is true that this plan is a bit risky.

So, what to do?

Shimadani and Yamauchi both set their sights on Matsuoka.
