"Call for Love in the Center of the World" was originally supposed to be adapted and released in 2004, and it earned 6.4 billion yen at the box office that year, becoming the highest-grossing live-action love movie in Japanese history. Its box office performance even surpassed the classic IP "Elf"

The theatrical animation adapted from "Kemon". In this time and space, because the original work itself is more popular than the future version, and with the support of Junxiu Lin's popularity, the film finally sold over 10 billion in box office in Japan, directly

It aroused the amazement of the Japanese film circle.

And this is only the domestic box office in Japan. Toho has arranged for the film to be released in South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and other Southeast Asian regions. According to Toho's estimation, these regions can probably collect nearly 10 billion in box office.

However, there is still a gap between the domestic box office and the overseas box office. Toho, as a distribution company, can take at least 10% of the local box office revenue. In addition, Toho Cinema Chain is also the largest theater chain in Japan, so Toho can still take another

It takes about 40% of the box office. But the overseas box office is not so much, because overseas theater companies have to share at least 60%; as a distribution company, Toho can only share 10% of the box office with the local distribution agent company.

But even so, Toho Company has already made a lot of money, and it has long since stopped caring about Lin Junxiu's refusal to use Nagasawa Masami during the filming of the movie. And when Lin Junxiu said that he had two more movies to project, as early as

All parties involved in the cooperation reached on the first film are interested in it and hope to have their own place on the production committee of the new film.

Lin Junxiu scanned the list of members of the production committee and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Rather than saying that this was the production committee of his own film, it was better to say that it was an alliance organization that had interests tied to him. Show Production is his own film and television production company; Johnny

Storm Company is his nominal agency; Sony Group is his record distribution company; Toho is his film distribution company; TBS TV station is his main TV station currently cooperating with; Kodansha and Bungeishunqiu Publishing House are his

publishing partners; the remaining Dentsu, SoftBank, Sky Group and Fast Retailing are its business partners.

"I didn't expect Lin Jun, who is not yet an adult, to already have such a powerful partner." As Lin Junxiu's number one assistant, Koishi Takaki naturally knows the relationship between these companies and Lin Junxiu.

As an adult, it is hard for Koishi Takaki to imagine that a Japanese high school student can actually chat and laugh with the bosses of these big companies. Although everyone is united because of their interests, in the modern business society, it is not so easy to be of use value.

What about the matter? Even if the relationship between everyone is based on naked interests, so what? As long as Lin Junxiu can bring benefits to these people, then these people must be Lin Junxiu’s staunch supporters. Sometimes, interests can be compared to emotions.

It's much more reliable.

"By the way, Mr. Lin, we hope to discuss some details of the movie with you in person tomorrow. But I have something to do with the filming of the NHK documentary the day after tomorrow. Do I need to postpone it for a few days?"

"It doesn't matter. NHK's documentary is actually not that difficult. Except for being a little tired that day, everything else was fine. But the filming of the movie cannot be delayed, especially since one of the movies is also related to our award, so we must plan it early.

Lin Junxiu refused to postpone the meeting, "In addition, there is the issue of the single. The track of the single has been determined. We also need to communicate with Sony Music. We hope that the title song can win the TIE-UP in Koshien this year. In addition,

Just to see if we can reach a cooperation agreement with the Olympic communication team of NHK or TBS and use the title song as their official support song for broadcast. Starting from this single, it will not be easy to get another million-single certification in the future.

Now, we can only do our best."

The Napster website in the United States has been around for more than a year. Originally, it was just a niche sharing website for some technology geeks. However, the Recording Industry Association of America, which is not afraid of big troubles, joined forces with several major American record companies to launch an infringement campaign against Napster at the end of 1999.

Litigation. This lawsuit has no result yet, but it has made Internet users around the world know that there is such a place where you can get music for free.

As a result, physical records around the world have faced a cliff-like plunge since 2000, even in Japan, which is known as the most stringent copyright protection country. Ameblo and 5apster shared links, but Lin Junxiu did not order them to be blocked. Because he knew this

It is a trend, and there is no way to stop free sharing by relying solely on your own strength.

In fact, the world's major record companies waved lawsuits at every turn but failed to eliminate free MP3 players. In the end, they had to compromise and join forces with Apple, Google, Amazon and other companies to develop genuine digital distribution platforms. If there were not Adele, who is so incredible,

existence, I am afraid that the sales of physical records will fall all the way into the 22nd century. But now that Adele is the angel who saves physical records, and Taylor Swift is the copyright defender, physical records will finally be available in the 2020s.

It began to rejuvenate in the later period, which once made employees in the global record industry shed tears.

At the production committee preparatory meeting held the next day, people from Lin Junxiu's side introduced the main plots of "Midnight Flight" and "Five Fighting Boys", and also said that they wanted to make "Five Fighting Boys" into a

Plans for popular IPs. Regarding the plan to adapt popular movies into TV series, TBS TV station immediately became interested.

Although as a member of the film production committee, TBS TV station can obtain the right to premiere the film on TV as early as one year later, but this is just squeezing the final value of the film. How can it be as satisfying as adapting it and then making a TV series?

Moreover, it is expected that "Five Young Boys" will have two seasons and one SP, so TBS TV station is guaranteed to have two consecutive summer Japanese dramas.

"Although the movie adaptation of the TV series is very attractive, I think it is better for us to be more cautious?" The representative of TBS TV station suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and tried his best to calm down.

"What does TBS mean?" Lin Junxiu could guess what they were thinking. He probably wanted to win the TV series adaptation rights of the movie "Call for Love in the Center of the World".

In the original time and space, TBS TV station was indeed the producer of the TV series "Call for Love at the Center of the World", and they also spent a lot of effort to adapt this TV series. In the end, "Call for Love at the Center of the World" was released as a fall Japanese drama.

The 42nd Japanese Drama Academy Awards won Best TV Series, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Theme Song, Best Newcomer, Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Cast and Team, and Best Opening and Ending Credits, etc.

There are nine awards, and the current Academy Awards only have 14 awards in total.

"We hope to obtain the rights to adapt the TV series "Call for Love in the Center of the World" and launch it as a Japanese drama in the autumn season." The representative of TBS TV stood up and bowed, "As long as we can get the rights to adapt this TV series, we at TBS TV are willing to

I agree to all of Teacher Lin’s requests. I also ask Teacher Lin to hand over this excellent work to us, please!”

"It's not impossible to leave the adaptation rights to you, but you also know that this movie has achieved both box office and word-of-mouth success, so the adaptation licensing fee cannot be low. After all, I have to be responsible for the entire production committee." Lin Junxiu's words got other comments.

The members of the production committee agreed that everyone invests in film production not just to make more money. "In addition, I hope that the director and screenwriter of the TV series will be appointed by me, and the script and cast list must also be finalized by me. It is not that I want to interfere.

Your filming and production work, but I don’t want the reputation of the TV series version to drag down the movie version.”

"This is no problem!" the TBS TV station representative immediately agreed, "We will sign a contract with you as soon as possible."

After discussing the TBS TV station, Keiko Fujishima, the representative of Johnny Storm, spoke.

"Jun Lin, we don't have much of an opinion about you wanting to direct "Midnight Flight". But if you want to play one of the roles, I hope you will consider it carefully. It is true that playing a gay person can really help.

When you open up the international market, it will also put a label on it. This label is not good for you to take on commercial movies in any country. The audience will like an idol actor, but it is difficult for them to accept this actor now.

The actor may be gay."

Fujishima Keiko was not unreasonable. Her words were immediately recognized by Sony and Toho, and other companies also expressed concerns in this regard. Probably only the representatives of Kodansha and Chunqiu Literature and Art Publishing House were not worried about this matter. If Lin

If Junxiu is a gay, then this will only be good for the publishing house and not harmful. Well, what do you call a scholar if you don't stand out and stand out?

"And the important thing is that you are still a minor! Moreover, the boss of your agency is not such a clean person." Sony's representative said loudly, and his words directly pointed at the lawsuit filed by the old man Kitagawa.

.

Perhaps the law that "homophobia" means "deep closet" can also be inferred in reverse. Kitagawa, a famous "deep closet" in Japan, has formulated many "homophobic policies." For example, the Japanese fan culture mentioned above

It is flourishing, and an important branch of fan culture is Danmei.

In Japan's Tanbi fandom, the pairing of Johnny's artists is an ever-lasting theme. Especially the "2TOP" CP pair of Nakai Masahiro and Kimura Takuya were once about to become Japan's national CP. But Jackie Chan

Like Nintendo, Johnny's Office is one of the very few companies in Japan that would say "forbidden" to fan culture. Because Johnny's Office frequently imposes restrictions on the image rights of its idols, it has forced many doujin stations to publicly announce

The creation of Johnny-related CPs is prohibited, which is the famous "J ban" in Japanese fan culture.

Of course, this is a public announcement by the Japanese fandom. Privately and in fandoms outside Japan, no one pays attention to this restriction. However, from the prohibition order of Johnny's Agency from intervening in fan creation, we can also see that Johnny's Agency has a strict attitude towards its affiliates.

How disgusting are artists when it comes to "gay" related content?

"I will consider this. If there is a suitable actor, I will probably give up the role." Lin Junxiu thought for a while and felt that it would be better to compromise with his partners. After all, he is still young and needs to rely on them.

.

After convincing Lin Junxiu to give up the role, everyone did not have much objection to Lin Junxiu's directorship of "Midnight Flight". Because this movie is mainly to gain Lin Junxiu's celebrity status, so it is not impossible to make some slightly deviant works.

.

As for the commercial movie "Five Young Boys in Water", everyone quickly saw the highlight of this movie. Youth campus comedy is a popular subject, and in addition, the film often features handsome boys in swimming trunks, which attracted female audiences who want to come to Japan.

We will like it. You must know that except for the supply of children, the Japanese TV drama and movie markets are basically supported by women. Since it is determined that this movie focuses on the main consumers of the Japanese film and television market, no one has any objection.
