...

Things are brewing faster than expected, even in snow-covered Tokyo.

As more and more people have watched the movie and heard the emotional theme song "Snow Flowers", the reputation of the movie "Love Letter" has spread rapidly among people.

Pedestrians on the street, students in schools, workers in office buildings, and even housewives and elderly people at home have all heard about this movie.

“I heard it’s very beautiful!” “The theme song is also nice!”

"I had a crush on someone when I was in school!" "Eh? Was it me?"

"It reminds me of good memories. This movie is very heartwarming~"

Young people who have watched it marveled at the delicate and sincere emotions in the movie, and the natural and expressive character performances, which satisfied their best memories of secret love.

"This opening shot is absolutely amazing! It's like an angel falling into the world!" "Different personalities, played by the same person! It's outstanding!"

"It was just perfect when I recalled it! It also echoes the ending!"

Professional film critics praised the film's use of lenses and praised the director's editing skills. With two story lines from different perspectives and a montage of past memories, the film can develop so smoothly. It's really

amazing;

As for film production companies in the entertainment industry, they feel they have learned a valuable lesson.

Yamamura Toshitaka, the director of Toei's planning and sales department, was also in the office at this time, reading reports about "Love Letter" in newspapers. His confidant assistant Toru Nakano sighed next to him:

"Naoki Nagayama is really amazing. He actually made three movies in a row! I really don't know how he made it!"

Yamamura Toshitaka didn’t comment too much on the shooting speed: “To shoot a movie quickly, it just means that the director is good at shooting. He writes his own script, shoots and edits himself. He has a clear target scene in his mind and has the power to make decisions. Naturally, he will

soon......

When Shochiku's "Urada Cinematographer" was established and confirmed the director-centered studio system, movies were also booming at that time, and it was not uncommon to see one movie a month..."

"But what really surprised me was the way Shuyou Pictures used this promotion method!" Yamamura Toshitaka put down the newspaper, "This kind of abandonment of early previews, media leaks, and test screenings...

Instead, boldly release it directly!”

"This kind of movie announcement has never happened before!"

Nakano Tooru didn't understand: "But if no one goes to see it...then the movie's momentum will be ugly!"

"This is the cleverness of Shuyou Pictures!" Yamamura Toshitaka seemed to have a pearl of wisdom in his hand, "First, through the scandal of the leading actor, it attracted the public's curiosity, but did not promote the movie."

"Then, on holidays like Christmas, it suddenly spreads all over the city! Bus stations, subway stations, office buildings, newspapers and TV stations... let every Tokyoite hear and hear everything during this period at the end of the year.

See all of them are "Love Letters"!

But what’s amazing is that we were so lucky that it snowed! It’s really the right time and the right place and the people are all together!”

Nakano Tohru smiled: "Maybe it's artificial snow~"

"Are you Baga? Do you think artificial snowfall is the Winter Olympics?" Yamamura Toshitaka looked at his confidant angrily, feeling that he was a bit stupid for the first time.

"Hey, hey, just saying~" Tohru Nakano quickly explained, and then added, "So what will Shuyou Pictures do next? Have you already done all the ways to promote it?"

Toshitaka Yamamura crossed his hands on his chin and thought for a moment: "Next, if it were me, I would find a way to make this hotter even more popular!

Even if it doesn’t work, we still have to maintain this enthusiasm!

During this period at the beginning of the new year, it will gain maximum exposure and make everyone want to see the movie.

Coupled with the word-of-mouth effect of "Love Letter" itself, we can get the biggest box office!"

"Want to take the heat to the next level? The heat is already very high! It's already hard to keep it hot!"

Tohru Nakano said, and even in the Showa era before the Internet, entertainment hot spots in the entertainment industry were one after another!

"Yeah~" Yamamura Toshitaka nodded, "But I always feel that this guy Naoki Nagayama will give everyone a little surprise!"

........

In the office of Kadokawa Group, Planning Director Isao Morikawa was a little aggrieved:

"Haruki-san! Shuyu Pictures didn't notify us at all this time! They just released it! I think they want to get rid of Kadokawa Pictures and go it alone!"

Kadokawa Haruki read the newspaper leisurely:

"Don't worry, Shuyou Pictures won't want to get rid of Kadokawa! This time they just changed the way of publicity. Besides, aren't we still the ones doing the box office settlement? The dividends will not be less.

!”

"But...they didn't use our distribution channels at all!"

"Ah, this is the matter." Haruki Kadokawa put down the newspaper, "President Yoshimura of Shuyu Pictures called me before and said that he wanted to build his own distribution department. Morikawa, you should be in trouble when it comes to distribution.

Are they there?"

"Huh? How is that possible?!" Isao Morikawa quickly explained, "We all settle according to the market price! We also work very hard when promoting!"

"I see!"

Kadokawa Haruki understood as soon as he heard it. The company he invested in gave Kadokawa a cash cow with large dividends, but it actually used the high-sounding market price... No wonder they want to build their own distribution channels!

Isao Morikawa also knew that the market price was a bit unkind, so he quickly promised: "Haru Shu-san, we will definitely help distribute it at the lowest cost in the future!"

"No need... Next year, Shuyou Pictures will undergo company adjustments and build its own distribution channels."

Kadokawa Haruki remembered the exchange during the previous chat. Tree Friends Movie is going to become a Tree Friends Group. It seems that they have already started to try it!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In this case, maybe you should consider increasing your shareholding, or follow Otomo-san's suggestion and replace it with part of the equity of Kadokawa Pictures?

"This..." Isao Morikawa looked ugly, a huge amount of revenue was gone!

"Morikawa." Kadokawa Haruki looked at his subordinates, "Next year, the relationship between our Kadokawa and Shuyu Pictures will be even closer... The Renami Shimizu who was sent there before is no longer useful, right?

"

"Yes, he has completely devoted himself to the underworld organization!" Isao Morikawa's mouth twitched. He had great expectations for Ren Hao Qingshui!

"Ha, it's also an option." Kadokawa Haruki didn't say much. In this era, joining the club may not be a way out, "But next year, I still have to send someone... The development of tree friends will be amazing.

Yes! We need to be closer!"

"Hey, I got it!"

At the same time, Kotaro Sakai, director of the production bureau of TV Tokyo, also noticed the news of the past two days, and his focus was also on the planning capabilities of Shuyu Pictures.

Recalling the previous "Maoyan Sisters" and Fuji TV's latest popular variety show "Twilight Meow Meow"...

"It should be Naoki Nagayama's work!" Kotaro Sakai thought of the young man who looked like a character coming out of a book, "What a genius!"

After thinking for a while, he stood up and walked towards the minister's office.

"We should have more contact with Shuyou Films..."

...

Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori are being interviewed continuously.

After the film media meeting in the morning, they received various connections and phone interviews on the road. At noon, the two of them went to Fuji TV to be recorded for an interview program.

Nagayama Naoki came with Kenyin's car, and Yoto Shuichi couldn't bear to be the light bulb and mascot, so he ran away during the previous show.

However, after getting off the bus this time, I didn’t expect anyone to greet me. Sugiura Oyasu and Nishi Rumi were both waiting at the door.

"Naoki-san, we're here again~" Otasu Sugiura said with a smile, and welcomed people into the headquarters building.

"Yeah... I just came to "All Night Fuji" not long ago, and now I'm here again~" Nagayama Naoki shrugged.

"It means Naoki-san really made big news this time!"

Sugiura Oyasu glanced at Akina Nakamori, who was chatting with Nishi Rumi, "It is said that all the TV stations are calling Kenyin now, wanting to make reservations for Akina Nakamori's trip, and if Naoki-san is not familiar with them,

I can't even find anyone..."

"Hahaha~" There is no refutation of this point. Naoki Nagayama rarely announces his agent or public contact information. Those who can find him are acquaintances.

After all, most of the programs and movie productions he participated in were sponsored by Shuyou Pictures.

"So Fuji TV isn't exclusive?" Naoki Nagayama and Oyasu Sugiura were joking as they came to the studio of "It's Okay to Laugh!"

"Naoki-san, Akina-chan, this time is special, so we directly adopted the live broadcast method." Sugiura Oitai led people to walk next to Tamori, "You have also participated in "It's Okay to Laugh!" before.

Recording, I think I know Tamorisang~"

"Hi, we do know each other." Tamori smiled immediately after seeing Naoki Nagayama, "I will never forget the guest who confessed to my assistant host for the first time on the show!"

"..."

Naoki Nagayama smiled awkwardly. He really couldn't hold it back that time, and suddenly he remembered that someone came to show his sage, a "one-minute friend" or something...

It’s so shameful to think about it now!

By the way, is it Miss Sanae Miyata who can’t help with hosting?! Naoki Nagayama glanced around in a concealed manner, and sure enough he spotted Sanae Miyata’s figure, it’s true!

When I glanced at Akina Nakamori next to me, I found that her face was calm, as if she hadn't heard anything~

"Tamaris-san, I'm leaving it to you today~" Sugiura Oyasu said, "Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori are also temporary participants today, so the control of the program still depends on the experienced Tamori-san!"

"Hey, hey, stay calm!" Tamori, wearing sunglasses, looked very relaxed. After all, he has more than ten years of experience in variety shows.

Tamori just briefly explained the process, and then showed the two of them a few reservation questions, and then prepared to go on his own, mainly relying on his on-the-spot performance.
