Relatively speaking, VCD is cheaper than DVD.

Others... Ahem, it seems that there is nothing else.

In fact, in the contest between these two formats, there is one thing that follows.

Switch!

Switched from the original VCR to a DVD player, right?

This is a must.

However, the Weinstein Brothers thought about it simply before. They estimated that American consumers don't care about the money for the replacement.

That's right, it's a matter of one hundred and eight dollars in the United States.

Even, you can rent machines like Takeshi Iwata.

but!

Takeshi Iwata directly trades in the old for the new, that is to say, the old video recorder can be replaced with a DVD player at his place.

Not only old members, but also other members, all you need to do is sign up.

Most of the businesses in the United States are membership-based. When he does this, the number of members has skyrocketed!

Ever since, the various advantages of DVD are all highlighted by Takeshi Iwata.

As for the disadvantages...

Installments, all kinds of installments.

This guy Iwata Takeshi actually cooperated with the bank to start a small lending financial service.

The Weinstein brothers have no place to cry now!

Is this VCD going to hit their hands?

……

Chapter 346 Gary Oldman

When the Weinstein brothers were like ants on a hot pot, Takeshi Iwata was very relaxed.

In detail, it is not very easy, because he has to face a person.

Rather, he had to convince the guy.

Gary Oldman.

……

In fact, in this place of Hollywood, real professionals, that is, guys with professional backgrounds, don't necessarily do well.

This refers to filming. If you just want to be a behind-the-scenes person, then having a professional background is an advantage.

It's a pity that Gary Oldman studied acting very orthodoxly, and spent a very good student time at Ross Brufo College.

This is a very professional art academy, and the evaluation is still very high.

But, that's England.

When it comes to Hollywood, it's a little different.

This place is too much about nepotism, if there is no nepotism, you have to rely on that kind of thing.

Gary Oldman is a man, if he wants to go that way, he has to give his ass.

Fortunately, he didn't do that.

Of course, there is another category of people, and this category of people is...

Just like Keanu Reeves, this guy looks so handsome, needless to say?

Talent, what a fucking talent!

And now, this handsome guy is actually in front of her, still, still... Well, in fact, we are friends.

"Gary, this time I want to introduce you to someone with a very, very good job."

"Oh?"

"Really, really, really good, you'll love it."

"But……"

"Any questions?"

"I wonder, if it's so good, why did you introduce it to me?"

"Haha...that's a good question."

To be honest, Gary Oldman was a little jealous of the handsome guy in front of him.

In terms of his own appearance, it can't be said that he is bad. Compared with ordinary people, Gary Oldman is definitely a handsome guy.

But, isn't this compared with ordinary people? Here in Hollywood, there are too many handsome guys here.

This one in front of me, and that River Phoenix, and Johnny Depp, and...

Oops, too many to count!

Gary Oldman played the role of Count Dracula, the ancestor of the vampire, in "400 Years of Surprise", which the two collaborated before.

The final look was really scary, and he would have nightmares when he saw it.

and so……

Why not let the handsome guy in front of you act?

Obviously, such a role is played by him Gary Oldman.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that he has found something again, he is more handsome than before, and he can act.

This guy is actually a little neurotic... Keanu Reeves thought so in his heart.

Yes, the two have worked together before, and yes, the two do call each other friends.

However, the two also have their own ghosts.

Gary Oldman, this guy, seems to be that Dracula, he has many unpredictable qualities.

Really, that's what Reeves really thinks.

But this time... there's no way, who else would come if it wasn't him?

Takeshi Iwata asked himself so sincerely, as a friend, Keanu Reeves really couldn't justify it.

But the bastard in front of him is probably thinking that he is more handsome than him.

Bingo!

The two are really 'friends'.

No matter what, you have to tell the business, right?

"You mean? Takeshi Iwata? The Japanese director?"

"I knew you'd heard his name."

"Of course, he's a big hit in Hollywood now."

"So, how?"

"How about what?"

"Don't you still understand?"

"The person you want to introduce, and that job is..."

"Yes."

"So... wait a minute, you seem to have missed the point."

"Hey... the point."

"Don't smile with your damn handsome face, I'm a man, I won't let you do that!"

"Hahaha... Okay, let me say the main point, that is... Iwata wants to make a TV series, and he wants to ask you to act in this TV series."

"TV drama?!"

Damn, why is it a TV series?

……

"Iwata, I'm afraid, it seems, that..."

"Oh, did you fail?"

"You can't say that either."

"Oh, you mean, you failed, but not completely?"

"???...Wait a minute, why do I feel something is wrong with your statement, but I can't find any words to refute it?"

"Because what I said is theoretically unassailable."

"Brilliant."

"Okay, you ask him out, and I'll talk to him in person."

"Hey bro, I just knew."

It can be heard that Keanu Reeves didn't really handle Gary Oldman.

And this was in fact what Takeshi Iwata expected.

After all, judging from various rumors and watching Gary Oldman's performance, this guy is definitely not easy to deal with.

He must be one of those guys who has all sorts of eccentricities...in fact, he does.

Still, isn't it funnier because of that?

Iwata Takeshi himself.

……

To Gary Oldman's surprise, the meeting with Takeshi Iwata did not choose a Japanese restaurant.

As far as the current situation is concerned, although the United States has overwhelmed Japan in the economic war, Japan's economic influence in the United States is not small.

Not to mention cars.

Serious people who buy American cars?

This is not even a joke. Americans are buying American cars on the decline. Some brands, such as Cadillac, are only bought by red-necked or old white men in the United States.

For example, Trump.

In terms of eating, Japanese cuisine is also on the rise, and a thing called teppanyaki is more popular at the moment.

On a large iron plate, the chef uses a knife, fork or shovel to show off, just waiting for the food to jump into the mouth by itself.

Well, this enjoyment is still good.

Gary Oldman originally thought he could enjoy it for a while, but unexpectedly, director Takeshi Iwata found a Chinese restaurant.

It's not that the Chinese food is not delicious, but it's a little bit different from my inner expectations.

And this was naturally seen by Takeshi Iwata.

"Gary, is it okay for me to call you that?"

"Of course, but Mr. Iwata, I'm a little surprised, why don't we eat Japanese food?"

Don't really say anything, what this guy thinks in his heart, he just said it out.

Takeshi Iwata finds this very interesting, he is a straightforward person who can deal with it.

"It's very simple, because in the United States, most of the Japanese restaurants are actually opened by Chinese people, so why don't we just eat Chinese food?"

As soon as the words came out, Gary Oldman laughed.

However, Takeshi Iwata was really not joking. What he said was the truth. Let alone the United States, in fact, most of the Japanese restaurants outside of Japan are opened by Chinese people around the world.

Why is this?
