Of course, if it is in the form of IP, it is to earn long-term income.

Video tapes, related peripherals, and so on.

That certainly didn't lose money.

However, as far as this situation is concerned, even if you look at it over a long period of time, you just didn't lose money.

For a big company like Dongbao, this is actually a failure.

The good news is that many of the current projects of large Japanese companies are actually losing money.

Dongbao is nothing.

However, there is a key problem here.

Originally, the conservative faction represented by Yamauchi had been fighting with the reformist faction represented by that Shimanuchi guy.

The fight between the two sides was fierce, and this movie happened to be a weapon.

According to Shimadani:

We must keep shooting!

Right, that is it.

Lost money?

It doesn't matter, keep shooting and make this IP bigger and bigger, then we will definitely make money in the future.

This can be said to be a rather simple logic of burning money.

Even, this itself is in line with the logic of large Japanese companies, or the Japanese.

Stubborn.

To put it nicely, this is called craftsman spirit.

Stick to one thing, stick to one thing, and do one thing.

It's actually very similar.

Of course, for a big company like Dongbao, this kind of spirit is still different. After all, they are rich and powerful, and they can afford to pay.

If you have money, be arrogant.

But what about conservatives?

Still want to shoot?

Still want to pay?

Let alone a good year, what year is it now?

How many big companies are rumored to be going bankrupt!

That is to say, the Japanese government didn't think it would work, so they offered various blood transfusions.

In fact, there is some reason for the Japanese government to do so, because the pension in Japan is an enterprise annuity.

Simply put, it is directly linked to the enterprise.

There is actually no problem with this model, or in other words, it is an internationally accepted model.

The same is true in the United States. In the movie "Wall Street", Michael Douglas, a financial crocodile, later wants to run the airline where the hero's father works.

What is he after?

It is the enterprise annuity of this company.

The company is listed, and there is a big piece of fat in the financial statements, which is this money.

Therefore, if a large enterprise closes down, then the money will be gone, and it will be over immediately. Many employees will retire, that is, the coffin will be gone in an instant.

Can society stay in chaos?

The Japanese government was forced to help, but it had to be rescued, otherwise, they would not be able to bear the result.

Ever since, some big companies seem to be in good shape, but inside... they are almost dead, like a huge zombie.

Yamauchi and the others are conservatives. They are from Hankyu Hanshin. How could they want this to happen?

Dongbao is still alive, if it continues to lose money... Yes, the government and the bank will take care of it, but it will be useless by then.

Those big companies have taken blood transfusions, and they will basically continue... the spirit of craftsmanship, and still do their old jobs.

The two sides of Dongbao have quarreled many times, and the current situation is that Yamauchi can only ask for one foreign aid.

So, what about the conditions?

"Please speak to Iwata-san." Yamauchi directly handed over the right to speak to Takeshi Iwata.

"Well, this matter..." Takeshi Iwata's fierce face showed a villainous smile again, "I make movies, so I naturally hope that my movies will be released well, then, can you sell the movie to the theaters?" What? Of course I didn't eat it all, you know."

Good guy!

Yamauchi fell silent.

To be honest, he is not a fool.

What is the biggest temptation of Dongbao to Iwata Takeshi?

It's not even a theater!

Come to think of it, this time "Godzilla vs. Mecha Godzilla" lost to Takeshi Iwata's "Fast and Furious 2".

This... Supervisor Iwata, you are really amazing!

But at this point, since Yamauchi had already thought of it, he had no choice but to say so.

"I'll discuss it with my superiors."

"Thank you."

Takeshi Iwata sent his thanks, which is necessary.

A famous supervisor, he has always wanted to engage in theater chains, but some resources are really difficult.

Like location.

Toho's theater chain is better than Shochiku, isn't it because they are backed by Hankyu Hanshin?

Takeshi Iwata can't get these resources, so let's get in now.

Right, investing in the other party is a good way.

Then next...

Continue filming?

Ok?

It seems that someone is in a hurry.

"Mr. Iwata, our business..."

"Oh, don't worry about that."

Takeshi Iwata is not in a hurry, but the Weinstein brothers are going to die in a hurry!

……

Chapter 363 The Road Not Envisioned

"Huh? Want to participate in the theater chain of Pan Bao?"

"Probably so."

"That means, are we also considered bosses?"

"Mingcai, we are the bosses, you must have the self-consciousness of an old gangster."

"Haha...Then about Dongbao's situation this time...What about Shinobu?"

"What's up with her?"

"You still said, the box office of "Godzilla" this time is not higher than that of your movie, isn't it difficult for her?"

"Ah, this...is it nothing?"

"Yes, Xiaoren took care of it by himself, that girl seems to have grown up, but you have to express it?"

"Mingcai, I think you have already expressed a lot, so what else should I express?"

"Ah! Why did you mention me?"

It can be said that Takeshi Iwata won the Dongbao matter.

Yamauchi put forward his conditions, and Takeshi Iwata naturally responded adequately.

Money is definitely not a problem, the key is movies, his future movies will be released in Dongbao.

Moreover, I will also be a consultant, that is, to guide some movies.

Yamauchi was very happy to hear this.

In the current Japanese movie circle, as far as live-action movies are concerned, who is the most guaranteed box office?

Takeshi Iwata!

No one else, really.

Even for Iwata Takeshi's teacher, Akio Shishoji, his recent films are somewhat overturned.

Fortunately, Teacher Shixiangsi has made low-budget movies recently.

Mainly playing... Rope art, um, I won't go into details.

What kind of dragon, what kind of armor, good guy.

Now, the animated film is coming up, everyone sees that Ghibli is too powerful.

I knew it was planned in advance.

Fortunately, Dongbao is a big company after all, and there is Doraemon.

But if you look at the box office, last year's 7 Japanese animation films ranked in the top ten, but the overall box office is not very high.

If you really want to say, a single "Doraemon" movie is not as high as "Godzilla".

It's just an animation film. Relatively speaking, an investment of one billion yen is already huge.

At this stage, the cost of animated films is lower than that of real people.

Japanese painters, in fact, have already entered a state of introversion, and they are very cheap.

From this point of view, both sides are desirable and desirable.

It's just that Shimadani may have some opinions, after all, he still hopes to build a big IP.

Of course Takeshi Iwata is not afraid, what is his status and strength now?

Moreover, Takeshi Iwata also has a way to face Shimadani.

Of course, these things should be shared with Mingcai.

It's just that I really didn't expect that girl Xiaoren was there?

The relationship between their sisters seems to be very good.

Of course Takeshi Iwata didn't know what Akina and Shinobu were doing.

……

"Now, there must be many people looking for you to make a movie, right?"

"That...that's true, but many films are very strange."

"Why is it strange?"

"Most of them are horror movies."

"Haha... isn't this great?"

"What's so good! Will I only be able to make announcement videos in the future? Sister Mingcai~"

Shinobu has been really distressed recently, but coming to Sister Mingcai's place is a kind of relaxation.
