Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 174 Vodka: Bourbon, that guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes is going to be a star? Detective F4
These days, Gui Ye Yinghua has been packed with people.

Ever since the billion-dollar box office of "ET" came out, countless investors have come to him waving their money, wanting to invest in Takeshi Onino's new movie.

There are more publishers who want to release ET overseas.

In addition, there was a constant stream of actors and performing arts professionals coming to apply for interviews, and even a few first-line stars whose careers had not been very smooth volunteered to recommend themselves.

This period of time has kept Tatsuo Yamaguchi from the external relations department and Mari Terahara, who is in charge of artist finances, very busy.

By the way, "The Grudge" has been withdrawn from the North American film market and finally achieved a box office of 1.07 million US dollars.

Shirley Lansing called Takeshi Onino personally to tell him the good news, and one could hear the joy in her voice.

She certainly had reason to be happy. An oriental horror film that she personally approved and originally was not very promising actually achieved a box office of over 100 million US dollars, which perfectly proved her vision.

Those senior officials who had complained about the drastic reforms she began to implement as soon as she took office suddenly fell silent.

For Takeshi Onino, successfully opening up the North American market is also a happy thing. Combined with the performance of "ET", it is a double happiness.

The share of the profits between the two also gave Onino Eiga, which has been under a lot of financial pressure recently, a sigh of relief.

With the successful release of "The Grudge" and its unexpectedly good results, coupled with the efforts of Tatsuo Yamaguchi, the overseas distribution channels for the North American market have basically been established.

So he left the remaining trivial matters to his deputy and returned to the country with Noriko Okatani.

As for those guys who came to give him money, Gui Yewu knew it was difficult to get rich alone, so he did not reject them all. However, at his point of view, not everyone was qualified to invest.

In the end, Gui Yewu only chose to cooperate with a few companies that had strength, resources, or strong backgrounds.

For example, Shochiku, Toho, Iwanami Shoten, Tokuma Shoten, etc.

"Director Gui Ye, it's been a pleasure working with you."

"Mr. Tokuma, it's been a pleasure working with you."

Gui Yewu, who had just finished filming, had no time to catch his breath. He immediately rushed to deal with the endless stream of people coming to his door. At this moment, he was politely seeing off a thin old man.

This person is no ordinary person. He is Yasuyoshi Tokuma, the president of the famous publishing giant Tokuma Shoten.

He is not only Hayao Miyazaki's mentor, but also a staunch pro-China activist. Many Chinese films were introduced to Japan by him.

He has visited China many times on behalf of Japan's publishing and cultural circles, devoted himself to the filming of Sino-Japanese co-productions, and invested in many films including Zhang Yimou's "Ju Dou".

Even though there is no Hayao Miyazaki in this world, it does not prevent Yasuyoshi Tokuma from being a respectable filmmaker.

But even such a big boss has to come to Takeshi Onino in person to discuss cooperation. This shows the shock and impact caused by the 10 billion box office of "ET".

After learning that so many people were planning to steal her away, Kenichi Kikuchi couldn't help but get anxious.

Whether it’s acquaintance or cooperation, it was obviously me who came first!
He hurried to Onino Eiga, looking resentful as soon as he entered the door.

You can't forget me, the old one, just because you have a new one.

We at Toei are close friends with you.

Takeshi Onino felt uncomfortable when he saw the resentful look of Kenichi Kikuchi, so he hurried to comfort the guy and gave him a reassurance.

He said that although there are many people chasing after me out there, we are so close, how could I forget you?
To be honest, Toei is indeed quite loyal. Although it is all for profit, at least they have always tried their best in the cooperation.

Gui Yewu has not forgotten the help the other party gave him when he was still weak, so he naturally would not do anything to destroy the bridge after crossing it.

With Takeshi Onino's assurance, Kenichi Kikuchi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that the other party would kick him away once he became successful.

Things have changed, and now Gui Yewu is someone that even he has to curry favor with.

Therefore, although it is a pity that he can no longer "monopolize" Takeshi Onino, they can still maintain their friendship. This is a good thing for both Toei and him personally, and Kenichi Kikuchi has nothing to complain about.

After dealing with the investors, Takeshi Ono then met with distributors who wanted to obtain the overseas distribution rights of "ET".

Although Onino Eiga has initially established distribution channels in North America, it has little distribution capabilities in other countries and regions. Although North America is the largest box office, a small amount of money is still meat.

Therefore, Takeshi Onino readily reached an agreement with them on distribution outside North America.

After finally finishing all these, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Then Gui Yewu did a simple calculation, but he was shocked by the result.

Including box office share and overseas revenue, the movie "ET" can bring a total of more than 10 billion yen in revenue to himself and Onino Eiga, which is a huge profit.

This does not even include peripheral income and the development of derivative products, which is also a big part, and conservative estimates put it at at least over 10 billion.

The name of a masterpiece is well deserved!
With just this one movie, Onino Eiga completely got rid of its financial crisis.

Guiye Wu immediately waved his hand and continued to increase the acquisition efforts, striving to build the Guiye Cinema Chain as soon as possible.

In addition to Tokyo, he plans to purchase other places including the land, since he won't lose money anyway, so this will require more funds.

In addition, Dongdu TV Station is also a big money-eater that requires long-term transfusions, and the investment and expenses for various programs are also not small.

Takeshi Onino also plans to start a special effects company. On the one hand, it is not safe to rely entirely on Hiroki Sawada for everything, and he needs to prepare for a rainy day.

The other is to provide a cover for Hiroki Sawada. Otherwise, if he keeps producing special effects that are beyond his time but does not have a dedicated special effects company under his command, it will undoubtedly arouse suspicion.

After this calculation, Gui Yewu felt that the money he had just earned seemed to be tight again.

It turns out that there is never enough money to spend!
After sighing, Gui Yewu was not in a hurry. He had many ways to make money, and he just had to do everything step by step.

There was another thing that concerned him more.

Takeshi Ono picked up the "Neon's Got Talent" audition results report handed over by Somei Shogo, and found many familiar names on the list of qualifiers.

Especially when I saw one of them, I couldn't help but stare at her. "Koshimizu Nanatsuki, it's her..."

……

"Brother, that Gui Yewu is too weird. He actually made tens of billions from a movie!"

At the distillery base, Vodka spoke to Gin in a tone that was unclear whether it was admiration or jealousy.

"That's the box office revenue, the share is not that much." Gin shook his head, with a strange look in his eyes, "But this guy is really good at making money."

Vodka couldn't help but gesture: "Brother, do you think we should..."

Gin felt a flash of excitement in his heart for a moment. Faced with the huge sum of money exceeding tens of billions, even he couldn't suppress his greed.

However, when he thought of Gui Yewu, something seemed to emerge in his mind. A trace of fear flashed across his eyes, and he frowned and said:
"Don't act rashly. Rum said not to provoke Gui Yewu for the time being."

"All right……"

Vodka was very unwilling, but he dared not disobey what his elder brother said.

"By the way." Gin suddenly narrowed his eyes, "Any news from Bourbon?"

"No." Vodka shook his head. "I heard that guy has been busy filming Gui Yewu's drama recently."

His tone was a little sour and his face was full of dissatisfaction.

Although he was hostile to Takeshi Onino, he had to admit that this guy was really good at making movies. Now that Bourbon was starring in his movie, wouldn't he become famous soon?

Why!
Vodka was indignant.

Why is it that we all have such shady identities, while I'm still busy killing people and setting fires, and you're about to become a star?
Vodka admitted that he was sour.

We are not afraid of our brothers’ hardship, but we are afraid of them driving a Land Rover. This is human nature.

Vodka couldn't help but imagine, if it were him, would he be closer to Yuri-chan and Yoko-chan?
Gin didn't notice his younger brother's thoughts. He paused after hearing this and asked again:

"Where is that woman named Vermouth?"

Vodka came back to his senses, his expression became more and more strange: "That woman... is now the acting director of Dongdu TV Station. I heard that she is doing a good job and has been called the 'Iron Lady of Dongdu'..."

Gin:......

He choked and his icy face almost couldn't hold it together.

When you were in the organization, you were lazy and didn't work every day, but when you came to Gui Yewu, you worked diligently?

Gin couldn't help but wonder if the KPI setting of his own company was unreasonable. How come a lazy guy could become a model worker if he moved to another place?

What is “The Iron Lady of Dongdu”… Is this the title you should be called, Vermouth?
Gin was silent for a long time before he changed his icy expression back to normal. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he used a sneer to cover up his speechlessness:

"It seems that the two guys are making good progress and have successfully become Gui Yewu's right-hand men."

Vodka:? ? ?

Is this how you understand it?
Just then, the sudden sound of a door opening broke the somewhat awkward atmosphere.

A member of the organization rushed in with a panic on his face: "Boss, it's bad, Shirley is missing!"

what? !

Gin's expression suddenly changed.

……

Onino Takeshi didn't know that a popular character was about to appear, but after seeing the name of Nanatsuki Koshimizu, he began to pay attention to the situation of the talent show.

The first round of auditions has now ended, and it can be said that all those who advanced have unique skills.

Beikacho is worthy of being a popular entertainment destination on par with Florida, and it turns out that choosing to hold the audition here was a wise decision.

Gui Yewu saw many familiar names on the list of qualifiers.

Except for Dr. Agasa who was eliminated in the first round, other "familiar faces" such as Tanaka Kikue, Haga Kyosuke, Maeda Satoshi, Tsukamoto Kazumi, Sawaki Kohei, Koshimi Nanatsuki, Tokitsu Junya, and Hattori Heiji all advanced successfully.

Oh, yes, there is also a Conan.

Onino Takeshi: ()
My goodness, what kind of dragons and phoenixes are these...

Death team building?
Among them, the detective performance by Nanatsuki Koshimizu and his four companions is the most popular.

It turns out that detectives and criminals share the world in Beika Town. Four people solved the case on the spot, and in the end, Hattori Heiji revealed the identity of the murderer before Conan did, with a gap of 1 second.

The process was exciting and full of suspense and tension. It received unanimous praise and was finally passed unanimously.

Of course, it is undeniable that Conan, the popular little king, also made an indispensable contribution.

The four famous detectives gathered together, which can be called the "Koshien of the detective world"!
The anticipation is full!
So the four of them directly formed a group called "Detective F4" and advanced together.

Seeing this list of "talented people", Gui Yewu couldn't help but grin, feeling nervous and expectant.

What worries me is that with so many talented people who have special skills gathered here, and Conan as well, there won’t be any problems with this show, right?
What we are looking forward to is also the presence of these masters of live performances. There is no need to worry about the topicality and watchability of the program.

Hiss—No, I kind of want to see what’s going on!

However, the auditions have just ended and there is still some time before the program is officially recorded and broadcast.

Before that, there was another thing that was equally worthy of Gui Yewu's attention and expectation——

"Li Gou Hai" is on air!
