"I'm really sorry. The other party hopes that I can temporarily stop accepting movies that have a lot to do with cars. This will affect this movie."

"Okay, I understand, then this..."

"Iwata, we are good friends, right, but if this movie can't be made because of it, I really regret it, and I will find a way to make up for it."

"It's okay, I'll find a way."

Hanging up the phone, Takeshi Iwata's face was full of helplessness.

He was planning to start filming "Fast and Furious 3", but Keanu Reeves let him go.

Well, this matter is really quite... This stuff is not interesting enough.

Indeed, this handsome guy has always had a weird personality, as if he was a monk.

It seems that he doesn't care much about everything. If it sounds good, it is extraordinary, 1+1=5. If it sounds bad, it has a long reflex arc, and it is not sensitive to many things.

But this time, it was indeed wrong.

In the end because of what?

It's the movie he picked up.

"The Speed ​​of Life and Death".

The movie is currently being released, and Takeshi Iwata still knows the movie very well.

In the original time and space, Keanu Reeves really became popular because of this movie.

He had indeed made many literary films before, but those literary films did leave an impression in the minds of some directors, but this did not produce much guarantee for the box office.

Where is the real value of a Hollywood star?

How many Oscars did you win?

No, it's box office.

Only the box office can tell everything, and Keanu Reeves should have become a popular niche with this "Speed".

Now, many changes have taken place.

The box office of Takeshi Iwata's previous "Fast and Furious" is enough to explain the problem, and Keanu Reeves' status has risen rapidly.

In other words, "Speed" this time can only be regarded as icing on the cake.

But, capitalism.

Don't look at it as icing on the cake, but in terms of capital, it is a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation. The key is that there will be some small tricks.

For example, even if you change jobs, there will be a non-compete clause, right?

This movie is currently on fire, and it is also related to cars, and bombs and the like are also popular themes.

However, do these elements collide with "Fast and Furious"?

For sure!

It's obvious.

So, how could the investor of this movie not do something?

What's more, this movie is actually produced by Twentieth Century Fox.

Fox, they and Takeshi Iwata can't be said to be inseparable, but they can also be said to be inseparable from each other.

Therefore, a small thing like a non-compete clause was added from the beginning.

Keanu Reeves didn't see this stuff, and his agent simply chose to ignore it.

Why?

The other party gave too much.

This time "Speed" Fox can be said to be a big deal. After all, Keanu Reeves' celebrity status has risen a lot, and his salary alone exceeds 1000 million US dollars.

It is already very high.

Generally speaking, with Hollywood's current salary, there is a 2000 million dollar club for male stars.

If there is more, then such a small detail, forget it.

As a result, "Fast and the Furious" can't be made now, at least not for the time being.

How to do?

Takeshi Iwata scratched his head. What was playing in front of him was the filmed "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin". The key to this film was editing. In addition, he planned to do some special effects.

Of course, this special effect has been prepared before, and for this historical film, the special effect is mainly to add some realism.

Industrial Light & Magic's current offer is still the same, $30 million for 100 seconds.

It takes about 1 minute for Takeshi Iwata to add blood and some details about the military formation.

It's all good to say.

What about the protagonist of "The Fast and the Furious"?

thinking about...

Is this trying to force me to make Breaking Bad first?

Just call Gary Oldman, this one goes first.

Just picking up the phone, suddenly, a series of familiar numbers came in.

"Mingcai? What's the matter?"

"What? Can't I call you?"

"How come, but, according to the time difference, Japan is already late now."

"Yes."

"Then it's urgent?"

"You know everything and still ask so many questions!"

Takeshi Iwata laughed dumbfounded, his wife is still so weird.

After the two got married, it seemed that there was not much change from when they were not married.

All in all it's pretty good.

So what's the matter?

Soon, Akina told Takeshi Iwata about the matter, that the spring water was actually "taught" by the Soka Gakkai.

That's it!

Takeshi Iwata immediately thought of that.

Who else could it be?

Satomi Ishihara.

In fact, what is the real name of this lady is really a mystery.

However, some things are not easy if you dig deep.

It has long been said that Satomi Ishihara is Princess Soka.

It is really difficult to prove whether she is a princess or not, but there is one thing that is clearly proved.

Satomi Ishihara later got married, and her husband also belonged to the Soka Gakkai.

What does it mean?

This actually has a lot to do with the fact that this so-called society is a cult.

Soka Gakkai women can only marry Soka Gakkai men.

Within this group, it is to engage in internal digestion.

It is quite abnormal.

Later, it was rumored that Satomi Ishihara might have entered the political circle. Don't think this is a legend of nonsense, it is very possible.

The Komeito Party, which is the embodiment of the Soka Gakkai in the political world, is a party with more than 40 seats.

The biggest problem is that this party has at least more than 100 million iron votes, which is very, very iron, plus some other votes, this party should have about several million votes.

How many people are there in Japan?

This is definitely a force to be reckoned with.

So, what does Mingcai mean by her phone call now?

"Isn't it okay if you don't add spring water?"

"How can it be so simple? What if they harass you again and again?"

"Then this..."

"Husband, think of a way."

Good guy, Iwata Takeshi couldn't bear to act like a baby on the overseas phone.

"You have the best way, husband~"

Whoops, this voice, Iwata Takeshi felt that his bones were going to be crisp.

"Okay, I will find a way, for sure."

"mua!"

Good guy, let's talk again.

Takeshi Iwata scratched his head, thinking it was quite interesting.

Unexpectedly, his things happened one after another.

How to do?

Wait a minute, Takeshi Iwata seems to have thought of something.

What did you say before?

Chikyu Teraoka and many others have any suggestions?

I hope Takeshi Iwata can run for parliament.

In other words, the Yamamoto group has this plan and wants to develop into the political world.

Actually, let’s put it this way, in Japan, many people see it very clearly.

When it reaches a certain level, it is best to develop into politics.

For example, Takeshi Iwata remembered the later owner of Livedoor, Takafumi Horie.

This guy who is known as the Japanese reality version of Doraemon, after he became very rich and became Japan's IT No. 1, he developed into the political arena.

The result... Anyway, the ending is not very good.

He didn't succeed, but became a prisoner instead.

And the whole incident at that time was also related to a well-known TV station.

It's Fuji TV.

Horie Takafumi played a very clever move, which directly hit the seven-inch move of the Japanese financial market.

Because Fuji TV, in terms of affiliation, belongs to Sankei Shimbun. Although Shochiku and Toho also have shares in it, the major shareholder is Sankei Shimbun.

However, Fuji TV was very strong in the stock market later, and its market value was much higher than that of Sankei Shimbun. However, Sankei is a newspaper after all, so its market value became very poor.

Ever since, the acquisition of Sankei Shimbun is equivalent to the acquisition of Fuji TV.

It doesn't take much money at all to leverage a TV station that exceeds 5000 billion yen.

This is indeed a good deal to buy.

But unfortunately, the Japanese government found an excuse and sent this product to prison.

Sometimes capitalism is like this. When there is no other way out of reason, then play hard.

Yes, they do encourage the inviolability of private property, but this is their own property. As for other people's property, it is better to violate it.

Otherwise, how can their property change a lot?
