"Are you trying to say that there are too many people like this?"

"Yes, this is Hollywood."

"Well, if you can meet such a person in the future, and his ideas are very interesting, can you let me know?"

"Why?"

"I need people. I like guys who are crazy about movies."

"OK!"

This guy Takeshi Iwata is talking about Quentin Tarantino. Obviously, if Samuel L. Jackson can meet, Takeshi Iwata might intercept the Hu Weinstein brothers.

Those two guys must have never imagined that Takeshi Iwata's counterattack would be in this form.

What's next...

"Hey! Where's my play?"

The heroine Jennifer couldn't bear it anymore, as if this movie had nothing to do with her.

Did Takeshi Iwata forget about her?

But this vicious guy smiled at her, "This time, you have to suffer a little bit."

"what?!"

What is the trouble?

Jennifer, America's sweetheart, can't be sweet for the time being.

……

Takeshi Iwata is filming in the United States, but two films have reached the stage of distribution.

That's right, there are two versions of "Happy Death Day" in Japan and the United States!

Chapter 326 Certification by the US Emperor?Evil Queen's Quest!

Takeshi Iwata made two films at once before, which is really surprising.

Did he shoot the movie too fast?

It's just like making a TV show.

Such an ultra-fast shooting speed is really rare...the donkeys in the production team are not as good as Si Guoyi, are they?

However, let’s put aside the details of the donkey’s labor force first, and we have to look at the issue of distribution first.

"Happy Death Day" now has two versions at once, and in Japan, there is almost nothing to worry about.

Takeshi Iwata's movie still need to ask?

Dongbao now wants to enshrine Takeshi Iwata, or simply build a statue and put it on the top floor of Takarazuka Building.

This... these bastards wouldn't really do this, would they?

However, this is actually enough to explain the problem.

So, of these two versions, the most critical is the American version.

Even, there will be a major impact here.

Dongbao simply sent Yamauchi over this time and asked him to come to the United States to coordinate the release of this unreleased movie.

How strange!

The American version of "Happy Death Day" has nothing to do with Toho in every way, so why did they send Yamauchi here?

Regarding this matter, this guy Shimaya also made an overseas call to Takeshi Iwata very solemnly.

“Red Bean Simi Marseille!”

"This one……"

"Iwata-san, we are so rude!"

"You can't say that either."

"No! Your understanding makes me feel even more ashamed. We are really rude, and I apologize to you again! Red bean paste Smi Masai."

This is so simple, Shimadani on the phone seems to be giving Takeshi Iwata a seat.

Instead, Takeshi Iwata felt a little embarrassed.

In fact, the vicious-faced supervisor didn't even need to listen to Shimadani's phone call to see things clearly.

Dongbao's behavioral logic is actually very simple, not complicated at all.

Takeshi Iwata's film this time is actually a brand new attempt.

That's right, the two "Happy Death Day" movies have the same feature, that is, low cost.

But there is one more common feature.

Horror film.

Although Takeshi Iwata himself did not confirm that this is a horror movie, but many people will feel this way as long as they have seen the edited film.

Director Iwata is going to try a new genre, horror film?

At least, Japan thinks so.

Horror films are not a very big and popular genre at the moment, and they also have the characteristic of low cost.

Then, of course, a question arises.

Even if it is Director Iwata, will he be successful if he gets involved in horror films?

Although, there are many examples before.

For example, the well-known director Masaki Kobayashi used to be a great director of Shochiku, and he was very famous.

"Conditions of the World", this can be said to be a rare film in Japan that truly reflects on war.

It exposes all kinds of evil deeds of Japanese imperialism in a very profound way, and it hardly shows any emotion.

This film is also a classic of a generation, and it was shot in three consecutive films.

The male protagonist is Nakadai Tatsuya, and the female protagonists are Shinju Michiyo and Arima Rice.

Everyone is familiar with Nakadai Tatsuya, Shinju Michiyo is also a popular actress, and the story of Arima Inago is more colorful.

Her father was a member of the Communist Party of Japan, so she grew up in North Korea when she was a teenager.

But he was admitted to the Takarazuka Theater Troupe very well, and after that, he left Dongbao and joined Shochiku.

Later, her fame grew, and she chose to marry during the brilliant period of her career.

This husband is also very famous, Wanya Nishinosuke.

He is also called Nishinosuke Nakamura, and he played the leading role in "Miyamoto Musashi" supervised by Uchida Tomomi. Interestingly, Sasaki Kojiro is Takakura Ken.

And Nishinosuke Wanya and Tatsuya Nakadai are also good friends, but their pair of friends is rather strange.

I always like to discuss the topic of acting, and drink while chatting, once I drink, I get drunk, and when I drink too much, I don’t accept anyone and just do it directly.

The next day, they went to filming with a bruised nose and a swollen face, and it was Arima Ineko who helped the two of them heal.

Is it really just because of their acting skills that the two of them did this?

This detail was ignored for the time being, and Arima Inoko later divorced because she didn't want to continue to be a housewife and wanted to work.

I did work, I was filming, I was very popular, and I made money.

During the marriage period, being a housewife, I was really lonely.

A famous actress like Arima Inoko can't be a wife in the daytime, right? So, she set up a company with two female celebrities with girlfriends, and the company is not bad.

Then, invested in Masaki Kobayashi.

The movie is called "Strange Talk".

The movie "Ghost Talk" can almost be said to be a classic among the classics of Japanese horror films.

Later, there were so many Japanese horror films under the name "Ghost Story".

Just look at the lineup of this movie, Mikuni Rentaro, Shinju Michiyo, Nakadai Tatsuya, Kishi Keiko, Shimura Joe...

This is the SSSR-level lineup that is difficult to find in Japanese film history.

Praise!

The Film Xun Bao Award of the year, the second best film of the year!

Cannes Film Festival, Jury Prize!

Nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars!

but.

The movie "Ghost Talk" directly wiped out Arima Ineko's company!

The box office is not good...

Even, she and Nishinosuke Wanya divorced in the second year. Fortunately, famous actresses like Arima Inako have many suitors, and they came out to film again, and then found a wealthy businessman to remarry.

But the point is that the box office of this horror film is really not that safe.

Let's just talk about "Ghost Talk", from the supervisor to the actors, to the screenwriter, etc., all of them are big names.

The set and various shooting aspects were top-notch at the time.

Even, this is indeed a rare classic in the history of Japanese movies.

But what?

Isn't it because the company is gone and the family is broken up again?

Your Iwata Takeshi is indeed very strong, and Dongbao also admits it.

But this kind of horror movie is still not stable.

And Dongbao is also smart, they have a way.

Coincidentally, there are two versions of "Happy Death Day", one of which is the American version.

Horror movies are relatively niche in the United States at the moment, but, after all, this genre is still somewhat popular in the United States.

Wasn't The Silence of the Lambs an Oscar hit?

This time, if Supervisor Iwata's "Happy Death Day" can be recognized by American film critics and American film distributors.

Isn't this a guarantee?

This guy from Yamauchi came to the United States to...

Wait a minute, what is this called?

Certified by Hollywood?

Keep it simple.

US imperial certification?

My Takeshi Iwata movie still needs to be certified by the US emperor?

Thinking of this, Takeshi Iwata couldn't help but laugh.

But this certification is what Dongbao wants, so let them do it.

……

Yamauchi has always been a conservative of Dongbao, and the current economic situation has given him a headache as a conservative.

What is going to be "Godzilla vs. Mecha Godzilla"?

Do you know how many billion yen this film will cost?

It's all money!

Can it make money back at the box office?

What a group of miscellaneous cultivators!

Although he thought so in his heart, Yamauchi's goal was still to make money for Dongbao.
