362 Cannes【Part 1】
After planning in Izakaya, Lin Junshui and Akimoto Yasu reached a consensus.
First of all, the cooperation with Johnniez dreams must continue. With SMAP, Yamashita Tomohisa and other first-line idols, it should not be a problem for AKB48 to go out of the circle. Originally, Lin Junshu copied Nogizaka 46's song for AKB48 was to make the image of AKB48 slightly go to the mainstream idols, so that mainstream fans would not feel uncomfortable when they left the circle.
Secondly, it is absolutely not involved in the grudge between Mitochi Iijima and Mary's mother and daughter. This is completely an internal strife at the Johnniez firm. External forces intervene regardless of winning or losing. For the Vernalossom firm's small body, being involved in such a war is basically the end of being cannon fodder.
Finally, if you can get a bargain, then you must never give up any opportunity. Whether it is Iijima Mito usurping the throne successfully or being expelled from the firm, there will definitely be a turmoil within Ginis, and then some idols will inevitably be cleaned up. If possible, Vernalossom will not give up the opportunity to take over.
Although putting the idol of the Johnny's family in his own company feels like a wolf, at most, it is impossible to set up a subsidiary company and let both sides not meet. After all, Tomohisa Yamashita, Yuki Yuki, and Ryo Nishido are really flirting with girls, and they are all the same kind of killing and burying. Speaking of which, whether it is the "golden screen" of Kondo scumbag back then, Kiyuki Higashiyama's "deep mother-son love" and the various scandals of the idol of the Johnny's family, it can only be said that the habit of the Johnny's company is really a company tradition. Therefore, although Lin Junxiu does not reject cooperation with them, the fence must be firmly tied.
Fuji TV soon aired the Bistro SMAP session where Lin Junsoo and Akimoto Yasu participated in each Monday in "SMAP×SMAP". The ratings of Akimoto Yasu's episode were not very good, slightly higher than the average ratings recently. After all, Akimoto Yasu is not a person who often appears on variety shows, so it is a bit new to the audience. In addition, Akimoto Yasu really has a set of food. If it weren't for Akimoto Yasu's time, Lin Junsoo would have the urge to ask him to cooperate in filming "Japan on the Bite of the Tongue".
Lin Junxiu's episode is the highest viewership rate in the past three years of "SMAP×SMAP". Even if it is viewed in the history of the show's broadcast, it can still be firmly ranked among the top ten. It has to be said that Lin Junxiu's popularity in Japan is really beyond Lin Junxiu's imagination. Fuji TV conducted a survey on this episode and found that Lin Junxiu's fan base is really huge. Not only do the traditional Johnny idol fans like him, but some men also love Lin Junxiu very much.
Fuji TV suddenly thought the survey was very interesting, so it simply conducted a national survey on Lin Junsu's popularity and favorability in one of its own news commentary programs. Even Lin Junsu was a little surprised when the data was released. Generally speaking, idols like Lin Junsu are generally dominated by female fans, but according to Fuji TV's survey, Lin Junsu's male fans can actually match female fans in proportion.
What also surprised the commentators of Fuji TV was that Lin Junxiu's fans had a very stable fan group from 15 to 45 years old. Only after being over 45 years old, Lin Junxiu's fans gradually decreased, and women began to gradually become the dominant ones. Especially in the age group of high school students to college students, Lin Junxiu not only has a huge number of fans, but also has a very high likelihood. About 60% of high school students and 50% of college students expressed their great hope to be a person like Lin Junxiu.
"Lin Jun, you are heading for the status of 'national teacher', right?" After watching this investigation program, Akimoto Katsu directly complained on his Ameblo. What Akimoto Katsu did not expect was that many comments said that Lin Junxiu's future historical status is expected.
However, these troubles have nothing to do with Lin Junsu for the time being, because Lin Junsu is preparing to take "To Dear You" to Cannes. As the opening film of the Cannes Film Festival, the crew of "To Dear You" has too many preliminary publicity activities to participate in. In addition, Lin Junsu, as the investor and representative of the copyright owner of the film, he also needs to contact others for the film's awards and the sale of international copyrights.
Why is the Cannes Film Festival the most well-known film festival in Europe and even the world? Is it really so great about its awards? Not so. What really impressed the Cannes Film Festival is that it holds the Cannes International Film and Television Fair with the Film Festival. If your small and medium-sized film and television works only want to sell them in the North American market, then go to Sundance, Toronto or Montreal; if you only want to sell them in the Asia-Pacific region, then you can go to Tokyo, Shanghai and Busan for a walk; but if you want to sell them in the world, then you must be the Cannes International Film and Television Fair.
The Cannes International Film and Television Fair not only sells movies, TV series, cartoons, documentaries, and even science and education films. Since there is no limit on the subject matter and theme, there are more and more buyers, sellers and agents coming to the Cannes International Film and Television Fair every year.
Among these agency companies, Harvey and his Weinstein Pictures are probably the most famous? However, Lin Junxiu has always refused to cooperate with him because this person has a bad reputation in the Asian film industry. He is no longer exploiting capital, it is a completely commercial fraud. However, what Lin Junxiu doesn’t know is that although Harvey’s character and products are bad, he still has a movie taste. Moreover, Harvey is very interesting. If he really appreciates you, he will really praise you sincerely.
Why is Quentin famous? Harvey's operation takes at least half of the credit. In fact, although there are many people who scold Harvey, there are also many filmmakers who are grateful to Harvey. Harvey is not unfamiliar with Asian movies at all. After all, Quentin, a director who always plays Asian elements (mainly Hong Kong films), will not be able to understand things that are shot by a director who does not have an Asian culture base.
Harvey happened to know Lin Junxiu and like Lin Junxiu's movies very much. Harvey doesn't like art films especially. Unless your art films are unique, you should shoot commercial films in a regular manner. Lin Junxiu is not the kind of director who blindly pursues art. Moreover, when Lin Junxiu compromises with business, he still has his own style and persistence. In Harvey's opinion, Lin Junxiu is simply a little Quentin from Japan!
Quentin's movies are actually strictly commercial films, but the excellence of Quentin is that he can dance a "Nutcracker" to the audience with the shackles of commercial films, and it is definitely much better than those directors who claim to be free. It is precisely because Harvey puts Lin Junsoo and Quentin in the same position in his heart that Harvey always wants to talk to Lin Junsoo. But what makes Harvey feel depressed is that Lin Junsoo is clearly hiding from him and doesn't want to meet him at all.
Not to mention that it is only 2007, even in 2017, flying from Tokyo to Frankfurt and then to Cannes was a very long and painful trip. Although Lin Jinxiu ordered ANA’s super luxury cabin, it was just a sleeping cabin that was about the same width as a university single bed. If you want to look forward to the rich aviation - the UAE’s platinum luxury cabin, it probably has to wait, but there is really a single room.
Being able to own a single room on a plane is probably second only to owning a private plane? As for buying a private plane? Lin Junxiu had thought about this idea, but he found that most of his career was in China, or he wanted to fly to the United States and Europe for super long routes, and most business jets do not have the ability to fly directly. As for buying a 737 or something, Lin Junxiu is not Abu.
When Lin Junxiu brought her company to Cannes, she was still two weeks away from the opening of the Cannes Film Festival and one week before the opening of the Cannes International Film and Television Fair. Even so, the streets and alleys of Cannes are already filled with the atmosphere of movies. The public relations company she cooperated with this time was the same as last year. Although the performance last year was not satisfactory, after all, after running in, it can save a lot of communication costs. And importantly, after experiencing the operations of the past year, this company no longer dares to underestimate Lin Junxiu.
"We have bought the billboard here, and the poster of "To Dear You" can be hung here until the end of the film festival." On the way to the hotel, a senior manager of the public relations company was flatteringly proving his ability to Lin Junxiu.
This poster wall that faces the Cannes Palace of Movie was valued by Lin Junxiu last year. Unfortunately, the public relations company did not pay attention to Lin Junxiu and missed the billboard, which made Lin Junxiu feel worried for a long time. Since we continue to cooperate this year, the public relations company naturally paid a lot of favor costs to book this billboard, which is considered a compensation for last year.
"In addition to this billboard, we have won the billboards of several landmark buildings in Cannes. At the same time, we have also cleared the relationship between several best-selling newspapers and magazines in Cannes and France. At that time, there will not only be advertisements, but also some soft reports to support us. In addition, French TV, First French TV and Metropolitan TV will put our advertisements on."
French TV stations are different from those of Western countries. They were originally state-owned TV stations. For example, France's current mainstream TV stations, French Radio and Television Stations, and the first French TV station are all invested and controlled by the French government; while Metropolitan TV stations are invested and operated by the Paris Municipal Government. Although the French right-wing government later began to implement a full withdrawal from nationalization after taking office, this also led to all French TV stations being sold to private capital. But even so, these TV stations still have government holdings. Because of this, the French TV market is very conservative and overseas TV stations cannot enter the French market at all.
The most unpleasant one is the British government, because the British TV market is basically controlled by the BBC, and British TV stations such as independent TV stations and Sky TV stations must develop the French market if they want to survive. Originally, Britain and France were only separated by a strait, and Britain and France themselves had submarine cables. If the French government allowed overseas TV stations to enter, the British TV station could immediately capture the city. However, in order to ensure the ratings of the TV stations they hold, the French government has banned overseas TV stations from entering France. Until later, it was impossible to withstand it, so overseas channels were allowed to enter France in the form of paid cable stations.
Although this has opened a hole, as long as you do not get the operating rights of terrestrial TV, paid cable channels have no meaning at all. It is precisely because French TV stations are actually in a monopoly position that French TV stations live as well as Japanese TV stations. Not only do they dare to produce TV programs at high cost, but they even invest in movies.
You should know that French movies have been played with by those New Wave directors, and the local film market is almost Hollywood's leek garden. So, in addition to the Europa Film Company, which embraced commercial movies early, now only this group of TV stations that are not short of money are invested in French movies. Therefore, if you watch French movies, you will often find that the trademark of their movie production company is exactly the same as that of TV stations. Don't be surprised, because it was really filmed by TV stations.
Seeing that the public relations company was so sensible this time, Lin Junxiu finally nodded with satisfaction.
"By the way, after the opening of the film festival, we will hold several movie parties. A reporter who specializes in the media who covers Cannes. As long as he has an official press certificate, even the lowest-level one, we will invite them to attend our party. This party should be as luxurious as possible and don't arrange those that are not. The favorite thing these reporters do is to lift their pants and not recognize people. The second party is mainly aimed at film critics. Remember to invite some local supermodels, actors, etc. This party is to be low-key, and the venue is best to choose a place with a strict membership system. The last party is to invite members of the jury, and it is best to invite in person, and find a manor to hold the venue. Finally, our sponsors of the red carpet opening this time?"
"In terms of women's clothing, Chanel is San Laurent, men's clothing is Saint Laurent; watches and jewelry are Cartier, small bags are Hermes. We basically chose the French blue blood brand. After all, the French fashion circle is very xenophobic." said a person from the public relations company. "In addition, I have also found a suitable place for the media reporting center you mentioned. At that time, food, accommodation and news delivery can be there in Japan."
