With the help of Shigeo Maruyama, Junxiu Lin finally met Masao Takiyama, the spokesman for Sony Pictures in Japan. As one of the largest chaebol groups in Japan, the Sony Group has an astonishing number of properties in Tokyo. No wonder Sony

The group later lost money and was not in danger of going bankrupt. These properties alone were enough to sustain losses for the Sony Group for decades.

The entire Sony Group's industries can be mainly divided into: entertainment industry, financial industry, electronics industry and communications industry. In fact, most of Sony's entertainment industry is organized around Sony Interactive Entertainment, roughly broken down into Sony Pictures, Sony Interactive

and Sony Music.

Although for 2D users, Sony Interactive is the essence of the Sony Group; but for ordinary people, Sony Pictures is probably the most famous industry under the Sony Group. After all, it was Sony Pictures that stirred up trouble in the first place.

That made Americans exclaim in the 1980s that "Japan is going to buy the United States." However, as an outsider in Hollywood, Sony Pictures paid a lot of tuition to barely get Americans to accept Sony Pictures.

But even so, Sony Pictures is basically an American company, but the capital of this American company comes from Japan. As mentioned earlier, the Japanese film industry has actually collapsed, so Sony Japan

The film industry feels very guilty when facing the Sony Pictures headquarters in the United States, so the positions of the two are far less powerful than Japan's Sony Music. Even on the side of Japan's Sony Pictures, the actual person in charge is Stephen Bashir.

Jones, and Masao Takiyama can barely be regarded as the nominal "number one" of Sony Pictures Japan with the support of the board of directors.

"Mr. Lin Junxiu, I am very happy to have you here!"

Masao Takiyama's wording was very "Western". Instead of using "jun", he used "Mr." as the suffix of Lin Junxiu's title. Masao Takiyama quickly looked at Lin Junxiu a few times, and then led Lin Junxiu and Koishi Taka

Shu sat down on the sofa area in the corner of the office.

Masao Takiyama smiled and said, "I heard from Mr. Maruyama that Mr. Lin likes to drink coffee. I happen to have good Blue Mountain coffee here, why not try it?"

Blue Mountain Coffee is the world's top coffee type, but its actual production is far from enough. Asxs. The consumption of major Chinese writers. After all, the Japanese rich purchased Blue Mountain Coffee in large quantities in order to be arty, resulting in Blue Mountain Coffee now.

Most of the production has been taken away by Japan. Therefore, most of the blue mountain coffee signs in China are fake; and among them, the ones that can be replaced with Jamaican high mountain coffee are quite conscientious.

Junxiu Lin, one of the representative directors of Sony Group, certainly believes that the Blue Mountain Coffee produced by Masao Takiyama is genuine Blue Mountain Coffee.

While waiting for the coffee, Masao Takiyama continued to maintain his humble and gentle smile and said lightly, "Mr. Maruyama mentioned that Mr. Lin has a movie that he wants to cooperate with Sony Pictures? Mr. Lin is a genius in Japanese society nowadays.

"Young Writer', we at Sony Pictures Japan are really proud to be able to get Mr. Lin's script. Regarding this cooperation, I wonder what Mr. Lin's requirements are? As long as it is within a reasonable range, I will try my best to strive for it."

After listening to Masao Takiyama's words, Lin Junxiu felt very uncomfortable. Yes, Masao Takiyama is indeed a "corporal of courtesy", but the important question is, am he Masao Takiyama or a "corporal" of Sony Pictures Japan? Lin Junxiu

He came with the purpose of looking for a partner, but what Takiyama Masao meant in his words was "you are not qualified."

Fortunately, Lin Junxiu is not a real hot-blooded young man. At heart, he is a social beast who has been tempered in Japanese society for nearly ten years. This kind of tickling humiliation has no impact on his heart at all. Lin Junxiu took advantage of the coffee brought in

Kung Fu, and Masao Takiyama talked about a lot of anecdotes about coffee and Blue Mountain Coffee. Although there is the Internet in this era, it has not yet reached the era of information explosion like that of later generations. Therefore, Lin Junxiu’s words sound like

It was a short anecdote, but when it fell into the ears of Masao Takiyama, he had another feeling.

Japan is a society with solidified classes, and it is also an elite society. The structure of this elite society was actually created by the Japanese chaebols and Japanese Chinese. The purpose is to tell most Japanese working people that the reason why you live at the bottom is because

You are not elite enough! Want to become an elite? Then spend your money to send your child to the best school. Maybe he can bring a turn for the better to your family.

It is precisely because of this that Japanese society respects professionals very much and often calls them with the most noble suffix "Mr.". Of course, the "Mr." used in Japanese society is "せんせい"; not Masao Takiyama

The "Mister" used. The reason why Takiyama Masao is actually willing to meet Lin Junxiu is not only because of Maruyama Shigeo, but also because of Lin Junxiu's identity as a writer. Although Lin Junxiu is a popular novel writer, currently except for the "Naoki Award"

There are no other awards to accompany him, but Junxiu Lin is a rising star in the Japanese literary world after all. If Masao Takiyama chooses to avoid seeing such a talented rookie come to visit, it will be bad for the reputation of Masao Takiyama and Sony Group.

of.

But even so, Takiyama Masao still looked down upon Lin Junxiu. In Takiyama Masao's view, Lin Junxiu was just a lucky kid. He wrote several best-selling books and won a Naoki Award, and then he was inexplicably

It was just appreciated by his colleague Shigeo Maruyama. But now, Masao Takiyama had to admire Lin Junxiu's knowledge.

"Takiyama-san, I am indeed here to seek help from Sony Pictures Japan, but this help is not my request from your company." Lin Junxiu said without being humble or overbearing, "When it comes to Japanese movies, what comes to everyone's mind is still Japanese movies.

Takara, Toei, Kadokawa, Shochiku and Nikkatsu. Even if you think of Ghibli, you may not think of Japan’s Sony Pictures, right? In Hollywood, Sony Pictures is an outsider; in Japan, Sony Pictures is still an outsider.

"Takiyama-san, have you never thought about changing this situation? As the most powerful company in Japan, does Sony Group intend to abandon the money-printing machine of movies?"

Lin Junxiu's words deeply touched the heart of Masao Takiyama. Is it really just for money that he came to Sony Pictures Japan and fought to the death with American factions such as Stephen Bashir Jones? Is it really just for money? As a member of the Board of Directors of Sony Group

Representative director, Takiyama Masao is not short of money. If Takiyama is willing, he can hang on to the title of vice president of Sony Pictures Japan and live in the Japanese entertainment industry. But he doesn't want to. What he wants to do is to let people

Sony Pictures Japan has become a major force in the Japanese film industry. It wants to let those idiots know that the Japanese are no worse than you European and American idiots in making movies!

"Lin Jun, you are so eloquent! I almost believed what you said just now." Masao Takiyama laughed for the first time and used a Japanese address for the first time.

"However, Mr. Lin, you are not qualified to talk to our Sony about this matter. It's not that I look down on you. If Mr. Lin intends to work at our Sony, I can guarantee that you will become one of the executives of Sony Pictures Japan before you are 30 years old."

1. Even, I will try my best to train you to be my successor, because my dream may be in your hands. But now, Mr. Lin, you are just an ant, and we are an elephant. Can you

It is a blessing to stand in front of me, and you try to make our elephant form an alliance with you, or even obey you? That is absolutely impossible."

When Lin Junxiu opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something else, Masao Takiyama stopped him.

"Lin Jun, if you were in Hollywood, with your courage, eloquence and ability, I think you could even convince film industry hegemons like Paramount and MGM to cooperate with you. But this is Japan, and we must abide by Japanese society

The rules of the game. Lin Jun, when you can come to seek cooperation with me again in a suitable capacity, I will do my best to help you. But now, you are not qualified!"

Coming out of the headquarters building of Sony Pictures Japan, Lin Junxiu looked very unhappy. As a reporter stationed in Japan, he had lived and worked in Japan for nearly ten years and thought he had a good understanding of Japanese society. But he really didn't

When he integrated into it, he discovered that there were still many things that were incompatible with his thinking.

Even if Sony Pictures Japan is an aging lion, it is still a lion, and it will only become rivals or allies with beasts. An existence of its own level has no value as food for Sony Pictures Japan.

.Perhaps when other people at Sony Pictures Japan talked about their visit, they felt like they were watching a clown perform a comedy? Identity, this is what Junsu Lin lacks the most!

"Lin Jun, does Sony mean that we have no hope?" Koishi Takashu asked somewhat unbearably.

"It's not completely hopeless, but it's already very slim." Lin Junxiu replied, "What we have to do now is to attract Julie and Marissa to invest as soon as possible. Although the name of the Fujishima family is not of much use anymore.

, but being a junior student of Oe Kenzaburo and a classmate of Emperor Akihito should be enough to open the door to some places. However, it is too dangerous for us to rely solely on the Fujishima family. We also need to introduce a partner to check and balance them.

Okay."

Lin Junxiu thought about it for a long time in the nanny car, and then he realized that although the people he knew were of a high level in the entertainment industry, if he went a little higher, these people were no longer enough. No matter whether it was Chunjun or Qiu Yuanyasu.

No matter what, they are like cannon fodder in front of Sony Pictures. Thinking of this, Lin Junxiu couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. Fortunately, he still remembered that he still had a few connections here in Tokyo Channel. If "East TV Afternoon Restaurant"

If it can achieve great success, then he can indeed consider recruiting Tokyo TV to join in to check and balance the Fujishima family. Of course, all this will depend on the ratings of that program.

"Kuwabara-kun, in about ten minutes, "East TV Afternoon Restaurant" will premiere. Isn't the TV station too stingy? Since it claims to be a flagship program in the afternoon, it even spends so much on promotion expenses.

"Chika Murata complained in a low voice. "Not to mention outdoor advertising, even the TV station's internal promotional video was reluctant to broadcast it to us a few more times."

"Murata-kun, since things have happened, we can only do everything we can." Kuwahara Hiroshi said, "There is an old saying in China that 'it depends on people to make things happen.' Only if we work hard can we do it."

After everything we have done, then even if we fail, we can say calmly, 'It's not my fault'! Murata-kun, from the time we were assigned to this program group, many people actually feel that our fate has been decided.

Yes. In fact, I thought so too.

It wasn't until I saw the business plan that Lin Sang gave us that I realized that there were still so many things we could do. Think about this dilapidated studio! Without Lin Jun's persistence and hard work, how could this place have changed?

Is it what it is now? Murata-kun, we have never fought alone. We not only have Lin Sang, but also Nakazawa Sang and others. We are all working hard to change our destiny, so we won’t wait until the moment when the program ends.
Chapter completed!
