Tokyo Literary Godfather

Matsunichi Co., Ltd.

This top five film and television production and distribution company in Japan is located near Putian Station in Ota District, Tokyo. It is not the Putian that makes shoes.

Generation after generation, generation after generation, in the current Japanese film and television industry, the most powerful company is none other than Dongzhen Pictures, because it has the most theater resources, signed the most outstanding individual studios, and has the most copyright resources and production capabilities. It is also the strongest.

As far as film production is concerned, it has now firmly surpassed the other five major companies. Although the other five majors are trying to pull him off the current throne and sit on it themselves, Dongzhen has always maintained his position very firmly.

The top five film and television companies are headed by Dongjin Pictures and the last is Nikki Pictures. Their current status is unshakable.

It is precisely because of this that Shirai Eiji jumped to Niki Motion Pictures, and Nobi Shiosuke and his group laughed at him severely when they had a private gathering. Eiji Shirai was originally Nobi's most favorable competitor within Matsunichi Pictures. Now that he has left, the position of the president is more stable.

As for competitors going to a weak competing company, and finally counterattacking and defeating themselves, this only exists in inspirational stories. In reality, Nohibi Shisuke simply does not believe that such a thing will happen.

Although Matsunichi Pictures is not the leader of the top five, it is still a mainstay. Although it is still far behind Dongzhen and Toei, it is also a stable leader of Akutagawa Pictures and Nikko. Moreover, Nobi Shisuke also realized that the film and television industry was not a safe place after all, and he began investing in industries in Southeast Asia two years ago. He plans to turn Matsunichi Pictures into a de facto investment company.

In fact, many companies are like this. Their main business is not their biggest source of income. If we take the parallel world as an example, Tencent is actually an investment company disguised as the Internet, while McDonald's is disguised as a catering company. Real estate agency.

However, the market in Thailand seems to be a bit unstable recently, but Nobi Shisuke is not too worried, because his industry is mainly distributed in Malaysia and Singapore. Even if something happens in Thailand, it will not be affected there, right?

What's more, Matsuri's film business has been developing well recently.

Cinema chains have made a lot of money recently, mainly because there have been a lot of hit movies recently and more people are watching movies. The market is hotter than before.

Especially the recently released movie "My Sassy Girl" has a slight tendency to exceed 10 billion at the box office. The Ten Billion Club movie... hasn't appeared for a long time.

The appearance of this movie also made Matsuhiro, the second-largest theater company in Tokyo, a lot of money, but Nobi Shiosuke still felt a little unhappy.

The main reason is that the distributor and investor of this film is Nikko. Yes, the Nikko who started by selling pornographic films, and the Nikko who Shirai Eiji left for.

No matter how much money Matsuni Pictures makes from this film, it will definitely not be as good as Nikko. This also made Nobi Shiosuke secretly rub his teeth and sigh: Shirai! Good luck!

If this guy hadn't established a relationship with Kei Fujiwara by accident, would he have been able to obtain the distribution rights for this film? You know, after "Confession", Fujiwara Kei has become a popular and trusted filmmaker in the industry. There is no such thing as no one investing in Shirai to pick up the slack.

This made Nobi Shiosuke a little jealous and a little regretful. He didn't expect this guy to be so good at film production. If he had known this, he should have given this guy more smiles.

Nowadays, Mizuha Productions and Matsunichi Pictures are in a "Cold War" situation. For Fujiwara Kei's five films, the other five have more or less invested in them, or directly obtained the distribution rights. Only Matsunichi Kataha was not involved - Fukuyamadai originally invested in "The Encoffiner", but later withdrew its investment. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the two companies have a dispute.

It’s all the fault of that ignorant woman Usami Sakura! It makes me offend people for no reason! Nobi Shisuke cursed in his heart, and Usami Sakura has been too showy recently, and started to stuff those useless relatives into the company without warning, so he repaired her again two days ago.

First it was Usami Sakura, and then it was Kudo Mie. Both times she had trouble with Fujiwara Keina, it was all because of women...women mistook me! Nobi Shiosuke shook his head and said.

In fact, it's not that Mizunami Productions has no chance of cooperation with Matsunichi Pictures. In fact, Matsunichi planned to invest in the movie "My Sassy Girl" at the beginning. Nobi Shisuke also specially sent a proud middle-level person to interview Fujiwara Kei. In fact, even out of courtesy, he should send someone with a higher position and more say to talk to Fujiwara Kei, so that the status would be more equal.

But Nobi Shisuke made a mistake again at that time. He felt that Fujiwara Kei lacked respect for him, so he just photographed a person with a low position and came to talk to him, humiliating him in a painless way.

Although Fujiwara Kei didn't pay attention to this, after the middle manager learned about the storyline of "My Sassy Girl", he said that no one would like this story at all, and even compiled a new story asking Fujiwara Kei to follow the key points he said. After writing, he was directly driven away by Kei Fujiwara.

Later, the middle-level manager felt that he was not taken seriously, so he added fuel to the fire, which directly disrupted the cooperation.

Nowadays, "My Sassy Girl" is a hit, and the middle-level manager has been as well-behaved as a quail recently, fearing that his boss will cause trouble for him. Fortunately, it seems that Nobi Shigesuke does not blame him, but It's just the woman's fault...actually she forgot about it.

The middle-level man worshiped the family gods at home every day and hoped that President Nobi would not think of this incident.

However, there is still one thing that can soothe Nobi's hurt heart. It is a recent self-made romance film produced by Matsunichi Pictures. It has a good box office revenue. Although it cannot compare with "My Sassy Girl", the box office has reached almost one billion.

Although this box office growth curve and the main box office distribution are a bit strange...the box office has skyrocketed recently, and the ticket warehouses are mainly concentrated in Matsuni's theaters, but it is not surprising that their own films sell well in their own territories.

Nobi Shiosuke deliberately did not explore this matter.

As a leader, sometimes you have to turn a blind eye.

If you find out clearly whether to take charge or not, it is better to put yourself in a "blinded" state. If something happens, you can pass all the responsibility to your subordinates.

This is the wisdom of managers...

Nobi Shiosuke leaned back on the back of the office chair, leaning back, half-squinting his eyes and smoking a cigar.

…

Kozo Aso from the business department breathed a long sigh of relief, and wiped the sweat from his forehead as he saw that the box office trend of the self-made film "Sad Love" has shown a very obvious upward trend recently.

This film is self-produced by Matsunichi Pictures, and the female lead is the president's lover, Miya Kudo. Kozo Aso has watched this film, and based on his experience... if it sells for 300 million, it's considered a hit. , we must spare no effort to promote it locally.

The story is old-fashioned and boring, just like creating a template based on a screenwriter's reference book. It was okay at the beginning, but it started to get chaotic later. Kozo Aso knew that it was most likely the woman who was interfering in the creation, and it was said that one was deleted. For the female character, all the highlights of that character were taken care of by herself, and the supervisor and producer almost collapsed.

Her acting skills are also very exaggerated. After all, this woman has been a professional actress for many years, so her acting skills should not be exaggerated. After thinking about it, it is most likely that the supervision later took over and allowed this woman to express herself freely. So this guy really thought he was the reincarnation of some muse, and he was acting blindly.
