Chapter 129 The Bad Woman's Teasing

May 5th, the Golden Week holiday just ended.

The spring chill that had shrouded Tokyo for several months was blown away by the wind from the south.

The bright green cherry trees swayed in the wind and the sun was shining brightly.

In front of the Shinchosha headquarters, the sprinkler truck had just finished its work and the road was still wet.

On the passenger seat of the ostentatious red Ferrari sat a charming mature woman whose age was hard to guess. She was carrying an expensive bag and had sharp nails painted bright red. Her delicate and charming face showed a cold and indifferent expression.

There is nothing more beautiful than luxury cars and beautiful women.

Passersby couldn't help but look at him.

This kind of woman who is rich, beautiful and has a noble temperament is most likely to make a man feel inferior.

"Why haven't you come out yet..."

Tokugawa Sakurako glanced inside the door with a somewhat bored look.

"Miss, is there anything I can help you with?" the security captain came running out and asked.

"It's okay, thank you for your hard work, go back and get busy." Tokugawa Sakurako replied.

Although the voice is clear and pleasant, it is very cold. It appears to be polite and considerate, but in fact it is completely emotionless.

The security guard respectfully retreated back to the security booth.

In the Ferrari, he waited until the bored woman lifted her legs onto the dashboard, then took out her nail clippers and started polishing her nails out of boredom.

Not long after, Kiyoaki Matsueda and Rinko Tokugawa walked out.

Tokugawa Sakurako turned her head and her bored expression suddenly became lively, with a narrow smile appearing on her brows.

The moment she saw her, Rinko sighed with a headache and said to Matsueda Kiyoaki, "Be careful, don't let her fool you."

"Okay, see you later." Kiyoaki Matsueda smiled easily.

Tokugawa Rinko turned around, walked to the Rolls-Royce waiting on the side, got in the car and drove away.

In the Ferrari, Tokugawa Sakurako waved to Matsueda Kiyoaki with an innocent and lovely smile between her eyebrows.

Although she was not an enemy, seeing her like this, Matsueda Kiyoaki's heart still felt alarmed.

...Yingzi is a monster who is as good as Qingxue, or even better than Qingxue, so we must be on guard against her.

When he walked to the front of the car, Tokugawa Sakurako reached out and patted the empty driver's seat: "You drive."

"Are you free?" Matsueda Kiyoaki asked speechlessly.

"I'm not idle at all, but in order to examine you, I have to squeeze out some time from my busy schedule." Tokugawa Sakurako smiled innocently.

"What is there for me to investigate?" asked Kiyoaki Matsueda while sitting in the driver's seat.

"Of course it's to examine whether you are suitable to be Rinko's husband." Tokugawa Sakurako turned her head and said.

"Then you may be disappointed." Kiyoaki Matsueda smiled and lit the fire.

"Really? I think Rinko will be disappointed, but I won't." Tokugawa Sakurako said as if very confidently, and then suddenly leaned over, sniffed his neck fiercely with the tip of her nose, and then revealed the intoxicated scent of a satisfied drug addict.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Kiyoaki Matsueda was startled.

"Hmm~ It really tastes like Rinko." Tokugawa Sakurako said with satisfaction.

"You're crazy!" Matsueda Kiyoaki cursed.

Tokugawa Sakurako laughed: "That's right, that's why we need to find an antidote."

"You'd better be quiet when driving and don't disturb me!" Kiyoaki Matsueda warned and started the car.

The red performance behemoth let out a low roar and left the Shinchosha headquarters.

The weather is very good today. The bright green cherry trees are swaying in the wind, and the sunshine is already the sunshine of early summer.

Pedestrians on the street put their coats on their shoulders or held them in their arms. The warm atmosphere, the mottled shade of the trees, and the carefree young men and women walking on the street...

The red Ferrari was parading through the streets, and passers-by couldn't help but look over.

Tokugawa Sakurako is still very young.

The skin is smooth, full of vitality, and the temperament is very charming.

Kiyoaki Matsueda believes that a woman's thirties should be the most beautiful age, when both her temperament and figure are at their most gorgeous, and at this time a woman is like a blooming flower.

Sakurako, who is 32 years old this year, is just such a woman.

As the Ferrari shuttled through the streets and the sun caressed her beautiful cheeks greedily, the picture was so beautiful that it looked like a religious painting.

At this time, Tokugawa Sakurako suddenly changed her coquettish nature and became deep.

She took out a box of long-filtered ladies' cigarettes from her bag, took out a cigarette and put it between her rosy lips, then lit it in a very elegant manner.

Kiyoaki Matsueda doesn't like women smoking, after all, it's harmful to their health.

However, from an aesthetic point of view, her smoking posture is impeccable.

The thin lips quietly holding the slender filter tip are as sharp as if they were cut by a knife. When the cigarette is lit, the long eyelashes droop down like the leaves of a mimosa. The few strands of fine hair scattered on the forehead tremble slightly with the movement of the neck - the whole image is perfect.

After lighting the cigarette, she took a puff and suddenly asked, "Mind?"

"Of course." Matsueda Kiyoaki nodded.

"Then I won't smoke anymore." Tokugawa Sakurako laughed twice, put out her cigarette, looked at him lovingly, and hummed innocently and charmingly: "As long as you don't like it, I won't do it. As long as you like me, I will do it, even here."

Those peach blossom eyes were moist and affectionate, enchanting and alluring, making Song Zhiqingxian's heart beat fast.

A seductress, an absolute seductress!

"As long as you can tell me what happened between you and Rinko and why she cares about you so much..." Tokugawa Sakurako said, stretching out her slender and tender index finger to play with his earlobe, her slightly hoarse voice tempting him softly.

Her fingertips were cool and delicate.

His earlobes are warm and soft.

"This one……"

"Ok?"

"I said I forgot everything, do you believe me?"

"Humph, you little rascal!" Tokugawa Sakurako pinched his earlobe and smiled dotingly, "As long as you tell Aunt Sakura, Aunt Sakura promises to make you happy and will never treat you unfairly."

"I really don't remember." Kiyoaki Matsueda said helplessly.

"You're really tight-lipped!" Tokugawa Sakurako said unhappily, her demeanor changing back to that of a witch. "If you keep talking like that, I'll torture you to extract a confession."

"What kind of torture method is used to extract a confession?" Matsueda Kiyoaki was a little curious.

"Of course it's seduction..." Tokugawa Sakurako laughed.

After hearing this answer, Matsueda Kiyoaki remained silent.

Then, Tokugawa Sakurako leaned towards the main driver, put her rosy lips to his ear, blew hot air into his ear hole, and whispered in a tender voice: "Auntie Sakura, I like strong young people like you the most. If you don't tell the truth, Auntie Sakura promises to squeeze you dry..."

A 32-year-old juicer, let me ask you if you are afraid.

"Itchy, don't disturb me while I'm driving!" Songzhi Qingxian shrank his neck and turned his head to avoid it.

"You couldn't resist after just a little teasing, you're such a loser!" Tokugawa Sakurako sat up straight, a smile of success on her charming and pretty face.

"It's just for Rinko's sake." Kiyoaki Matsueda retorted unconvinced.

Tokugawa Sakurako continued to smile and stopped talking.

Soon, the Ferrari arrived at Shinjuku CBD and stopped in the parking lot of an office building.

Toei, one of the three largest cinema chains in Japan, has its offices in this office building. Another major cinema chain, Shochiku, also sent representatives to attend today's cooperation meeting.

"Ah, I haven't been to this building for a long time..."

Tokugawa Sakurako got out of the car and stretched, her full and plump breasts standing out.

Passersby couldn't help but look over.

Kiyoaki Matsueda's sight was also affected by the law of "the gravitational attraction of ten thousand breasts" and was attracted for a second.

"You are such a loser! If you want to watch, just watch for a while longer. Auntie Sakura is not a stingy woman." Tokugawa Sakurako showed a charming smile on her face again. She glanced at him with her amorous eyes, then leaned over and gently opened her lips: "Even if you want to play, Auntie Sakura can satisfy you..."

"That's not funny." Kiyoaki Matsueda glared at her.

"Auntie Sakura is not kidding you." Tokugawa Sakurako suddenly looked serious, staring at him, "Whenever I think of Rinko having an affair with you, and that every time I can't see her, she might be being defiled by you, thinking of that scene, Auntie Sakura's legs go weak on the spot..."

This woman is simply a moving source of mental pollution.

Player Kiyoaki Matsueda, san value -10!

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Let's get down to business, little brother." Tokugawa Sakurako knew when to stop. She teased him a few last times before he really got angry, then turned around, striding with her long legs, and walked into the office building with a dashing temperament.

Kiyoaki Matsueda followed behind her.

She was wearing the latest black spring dress from a big brand, with long sleeves, so she didn't wear a coat;

The hem of the skirt only reaches the middle of the thigh, and the thin flesh-colored stockings tightly outline the attractive straight long legs. The feet are wearing a pair of CL's black side-hole high heels.

The back view is really graceful and charming.

After entering the office building, I took the elevator to the 16th floor.

After exiting the elevator, we arrived at the Toei office floor. The young girl in the reception room looked up and greeted us in a clear voice: "Welcome to Toei. Do you have an appointment?"

"Yes." Kiyoaki Matsueda said to the front desk, "9:30 in the morning, Director Kimura."

The girl retracted her gaze, glanced at the document, and then walked out of the front desk: "Hello, Mr. Matsueda, please follow me. Director Kimura is still in a meeting. You and this lady will need to wait for twenty minutes."

"sorry to bother you."

Led by the front desk, the two came to a meeting room.

The area is about 30 square meters, with a huge floor-to-ceiling glass window on one side, looking out at the bustling downtown area of ​​Shinjuku.

It is sunny in Tokyo in May.

The clouds are puffy and the sky is clear and blue. This is a good weather for doing big things.

"Would you like me to make you some tea?" the receptionist asked.

"No thanks."

"I'm going out first. Please let me know if you have any instructions."

After the receptionist left, only Kiyoaki Matsueda and Sakurako Tokugawa were left in the conference room.

Kiyoaki Matsueda took out the meeting materials and made final preparations. Tokugawa Sakurako did not disturb him at this time, but looked around boredly.

When she closes her mouth, her delicate and charming oval face becomes very charming.

This is a passionate and changeable woman.

The emotional ups and downs on the surface are very big.

His face is always a mixture of good mood, bad mood, decadence and fighting spirit, laziness and desire.

This unpredictable and ever-changing charm is what makes her most attractive to men.

The sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows that were half covered by blinds. The conference room was very bright, and the two people wrapped in the light were both quiet.

Even though there was a great beauty by his side, Matsueda Kiyoaki didn't have much in mind to admire her.

He is under a lot of pressure now.

The production of the two films, "Dancing Girl" and "The Time Travel Girl", cost nearly 10 billion yen.

Although this number was within Kiyoaki Matsueda's expectations, it still hurt to see such a large amount of money being spent.

And this does not include the cost of publicity and promotion.

The promotion and marketing step is a bottomless pit.

As long as you are willing to spend money, you can spend as much as you want.

Generally speaking, the proportion of publicity and promotion in production budget starts at 30%.

The total publicity and promotion costs for the two films, which cost 10 billion yen to produce, would be 4-5 million yen.

In other words, before the two movies are released, more than half of the 22 billion yuan in funds in Star Shine’s account will be gone.

If the movie fails at the box office, it will be hard for it to make a comeback in the East.

In addition to promotion and distribution, there are two more steps: review and issuance.

It is relatively simple to pass the review. The Ministry of Education is responsible for the review and release of films and television. As long as they are not too pornographic or bloody, they will basically not be blocked.

As for distribution, one has to go to the cinema chains or individual theaters in person.

Of the three major cinema chains, Toho is controlled by the Ishihara family, so Kiyoaki Matsueda gave up directly. This time he came to Toei to get as many screenings as possible. If he wants more screenings, he will have to pay 5%-10% of the total box office as distribution fees.

Including the cinema’s 50% share of the box office, they will take % of the total box office revenue from distribution and release.

The more you count the money, the more you realize that money is not easy to make.

With the money that Kiyoaki Matsueda earned from plagiarizing for half a year, plus the investment from Rinko Tokugawa, it was already difficult for him to shoot two movies with 22 billion yen. No wonder the production committee system is so popular, and those filmmakers have to attract investment in various ways and beg for help from the capital daddy.

Every step costs money!

If the movie fails at the box office, it will definitely be a huge blow to the newly-started Star Shine.

So, we must not lose this time!
They must make a big profit, give the Ishihara family a slap in the face, and prove to the industry at the same time that Xinghui has the ability to compete with the Ishihara family!
After a while, two middle-aged men walked into the meeting room.

"Hello, hello. I've heard a lot about you, Mr. Mishima." Director Kimura from Toei's marketing department quickly ran over.

Following him was the marketing director of Shochiku, another major cinema chain.

After meeting and introducing each other, the two ministers looked at Tokugawa Sakurako and then sat down opposite each other.

Before coming here, they all heard from their superiors that the Ishihara family had informed them to reduce the screening schedule of "Dancing Girl" as much as possible.

Although the three companies are competitors, they don't mind doing this kind of favor.

After all, art films like "Dancing Girl" have always been box office poison in the film market and have almost no commercial value.

One must be extremely stupid to fall out with the Ishihara family over a movie that doesn't make money.

Under this premise, despite Minister Kimura's bright smile and his repeated emphasis that "films adapted from Mr. Mishima's works and with Mr. Mishima himself starring as the male lead will definitely sell well", when discussing the film scheduling, he insisted on 10% of the screenings on the first day.

Kiyoaki Matsueda didn't insist, 10% is 10%.

Value, dignity, these things must be fought for by oneself.

However, his reputation in the literary world cannot be brought to the film industry, and he has no box office appeal as a leading actor.

Moreover, from historical experience, all movies adapted from pure literary works are flops, so you can't blame the filmmakers for not giving you face.

Tokugawa Sakurako didn't say a word throughout the whole process, just like a beautiful vase.

"Let's just leave it at that for the first day's schedule."

Facing the two ministers, Matsueda Kiyoaki smiled faintly and asked, "Let's talk about how to adjust the subsequent film schedule."

Hearing this, Minister Kimura's face suddenly became serious.

For theaters, box office is the only criterion for measuring the success of a movie.

The first day box office is the lifeline of a movie.

If the box office on the first day exceeds expectations, the subsequent screenings will gradually increase and the publicity and promotion efforts will also be intensified.

If the first-day box office is lower than expected, the film schedule will slowly decrease, and the investment in publicity and promotion resources will become more cautious...

There are only about 600 movie theaters in Japan.

Among them, there are more than 450 cinema chains.

In Japanese film news, you can always see the promotion of "opening in 300 theaters", which means a large-scale screening.

"Dancing Girl" cannot be shown in the Toho Cinema Line, which has a 40% market share, so it will lose the 180-theater opening among the cinema movies. If it is released in Toei and Shochiku, it will probably only be able to open in 200 theaters.

Based on a 10% screening schedule on the first day, if the film opens in 200 theaters and the first day box office does not exceed 3000 million yen, it will be below expectations.

Taking the first-day box office of 3000 million yen as a benchmark, Minister Kimura promised that as long as it is reached, more screenings can be scheduled later.

It vaguely revealed that if your film has this commercial value, we are willing to risk offending the Ishihara family and increase your screening schedule... After all, the first priority of capitalists is to make money.

During the meeting, Minister Kimura vaguely revealed that the 3000 million yen was the baseline that the president's daughter requested for Kiyoaki Matsueda, otherwise they had originally set it at 5000 million yen.

The daughter of Toei's president is the classmate that Matsueda Kiyoyuki introduced to Matsueda Kiyoaki last time...

At the end of the conversation, the two sides set a release date.

7 month 6 number.

It’s the first weekend of summer vacation.

After all matters were settled, the two parties signed the issuance contract.

The screening ratio on the first day is 10%, and the agreed distribution fee is 5% of the box office.

After signing the contract, Kiyoaki Matsueda suddenly asked, "Are there any big productions coming out during this summer's season?"

Minister Kimura was stunned for a moment, then thought quickly and came to the conclusion: "At present, there is only one historical war film by the Ishihara family, and the others cannot be considered big productions."

"If a movie becomes a hit in a single theater during the summer, how soon can it be released in theaters?" Kiyoaki Matsueda asked calmly.

Minister Kimura looked at him strangely: "Why is Mr. Mishima asking this?"

"I'm a newcomer in this industry, so it always helps if I know more about the rules." Kiyoaki Matsueda replied with a smile.

Minister Kimura thought for a moment and said, "It depends on how popular it is. If it has the potential to make 30 billion yen at the box office, two weeks will be enough from discussing cooperation to theatrical release."

"How is the box office potential of 30 billion yen calculated?" asked Kiyoaki Matsueda.

Director Kimura frowned, did a quick mental calculation, and discussed with the director of another theater chain next to him before answering, "For every 50 screenings, the overall attendance rate is 5000%, and the first-day box office is million yen."

After getting this answer, Kiyoaki Matsueda also did a quick calculation.

The price of a movie ticket in Japan is basically 1800 yen. If you want to make 5000 million yen on the first day, that means there must be 100 moviegoers. The number of seats in a single theater is basically between 200 and 150, so on average there are 75 seats, and if the attendance rate is %, that means people per show...

In other words, with an average attendance rate of 370%, 5000 screenings a day would be needed to reach a box office of million yen.

"I understand. Thank you both for your answers. In the future..."

Matsueda Kiyoaki had a peaceful smile on his face. As he was talking, he suddenly felt an itch on his ankle.

I lowered my head slightly, and saw a black high-heeled shoe gently rubbing against my ankle. I could see the red sole of the shoe and the beautiful arch of my foot wrapped in flesh-colored stockings...

This sudden teasing made Matsueda Kiyoaki's heartbeat slightly faster.

He turned his head quietly to glance at Tokugawa Sakurako, only to see her sitting still like a doll, her long beautiful legs teasing the man as if she was not under her control, but had her own will.

"What in the future?" Minister Kimura asked curiously.

"In the future, I might follow this pattern..." Matsueda Kiyoaki answered calmly, but the high heels on his ankles became more and more unbridled, making him feel as if ants were gnawing at him, numb, and itchy.

"Oh, Mr. Mishima is going to go with single museums first and then theater chains?" Director Kimura became interested.

"Yes, I have this idea for now..." Kiyoaki Matsueda said as he shook his legs hard, trying to get rid of the shoes.

But Tokugawa Sakurako's small feet were like a little black snake, following his ankles closely all the time. As soon as his legs stopped moving, they would immediately wrap around him and stick to him tightly to tease him.

'Hello!'

Kiyoaki Matsueda glared at her sideways.

Tokugawa Sakurako put on a cold face, as if she had no idea what was going on under the table.

However, there was a hint of teasing in her peach blossom eyes.

His footwork is extremely deft and he controls the frequency skillfully. If you want him to feel good, he'll go faster; if you want him to feel torture, he'll go slowly.

"This woman deserves to be killed..."

Song Zhiqingxian felt so comfortable. Looking at her cool and dignified appearance, there was an indescribable excitement.

At the same time, he was itching with hatred.

This kind of lawless bad woman, one day I will put a bit and reins in her sexy little mouth, then ride on her back with a whip, pull the reins to make her stop, and whip her to make her run...

After all this, let’s see if she dares to be so bad again!

"Let's talk about this later..." Matsueda Kiyaki didn't reveal too much and ended the conversation, then reached out and pinched the restless little foot hard.

"Ah~"

Tokugawa Sakurako seemed to be scalded.

The two ministers opposite looked at him in confusion: "What's wrong with Miss Tokugawa?"

"I think we should have a drink to celebrate our successful cooperation..."

Tokugawa Sakurako deftly resolved the embarrassment, then gave Songeda Kiyoaki a charming look, and moved her sexy red lips to challenge him: "Little brother, I won't let you go just like that..."
