Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

v1 Chapter 638: Nikkatsu

The strength of Nakayama Shinobi, who has not yet reached the age of sixteen, is not as good as Nakayama Miho, and she has no reason for Nakayama Miho to persevere and work hard - only ten minutes later, Nakayama Shinobu shouted: "Brother Cun, I... I can't do it anymore. Please stop... stop!"

Zhongshan Ren lost his combat effectiveness so quickly that Xu Cun, who had just been loaded with bullets, immediately felt an uncomfortable feeling of being unable to go up and down!

With the continuous increase of status and status, coupled with the constant presence of beautiful women around him, Xu Cun has become more and more unbearable for this uncomfortable feeling!

Therefore, Xu Cun directly carried the overwhelmed Nakayama Shinobi to Nakayama Shinobi's room where Nakayama Miho was now, and then opened the back garden for the Zhongshan sisters, and the night was over!

The next day, Xu Cun took a lot of thought to coax Nakayama Shinobi, who had been playing with Xu Cun for a long time, and let Nakayama Miho, who had never made up his mind, accept his fate.

After staying at Miho's house in Zhongshan for two whole days to tame the Zhongshan sisters, Xu Cuncai took the Zhongshan sisters back to Liubendao New City, where the girls are now.

In the days that followed, Xu Cun took the girls to play in Japan while waiting for news from Masakazu Iwasaki.

In addition, Xu Cun is also running one thing - the acquisition of Nikkei Co., Ltd., one of the five major film companies in Japan.

The so-called five major Japanese film companies are: Toho, Toei, Shochiku, Kadokawa, and Nikkei.

Toho Co., Ltd., the first of Japan's five major film companies, developed from the "Tokyo Takarazuka Theater Co., Ltd." founded in 1932. It has several well-known theaters, such as Japan's first Western-style theater "Imperial Theater" and "" etc.

Shochiku Co., Ltd. has been in business for more than 100 years since Takejiro Otani started operating a traditional theater in Kyoto in 1895. Its business scope spans the performance, arts and film industries. In addition to movies, theater performances, kabuki, bunraku, opera, comic dialogue, sumo, professional baseball, symphony, etc. are all involved in the scope of Shochiku, especially in the performance income of Kabuki, Shochiku is the first place, Tokyo Kabuki Famous performing arts venues in Japan, such as Shijo Minamiza and Kyoto Shijo Minamiza, were created and owned by Shochiku.

Toei Co., Ltd. was founded in 1949. In addition to film production and distribution, Toei also operates cinemas, movie theaters, satellite TV, and film rentals and other related businesses. In addition, Toei is also one of the initiators and major shareholders of TV Asahi.

Kadokawa Film Co., Ltd. was formerly known as Dai Nippon Film Production Co., Ltd. (Da Nippon Film Production Co., Ltd.), which was established during World War II in 1942 by integrating small domestic film companies. After the war, it was renamed Daiei Co., Ltd. and became a general private enterprise. Daiei was on the verge of bankruptcy in 1971, and was later acquired and reorganized by Tokuma Bookstore, one of Japan's largest publishing houses. Later, Daiei was bought by Kadokawa Shoten and renamed "Kadokawa Pioneer Pictures".

Nikho Co., Ltd., referred to as Nikkei, was developed from the Japan Event Photo Co., Ltd. founded in 1912. After the 1960s, due to the rapid popularization of television, the number of movie audiences decreased sharply. The producer of Nikho made corresponding changes. Films aimed at the younger generation, such as "Season of the Sun", "Fruit of Madness", "Backlight", etc., ushered in the heyday of the so-called daily life youth film, and many talented artists have emerged. , Urayama Kiriro, Xiongjing Qi, Zangyuan Weizhan, Ishihara Yujiro, Yoshinaga Sayuri, etc.

but--

In the 1970s, with the death of Nikko's iron-fisted president Hori Hisakusaku, Nikko's economy was in trouble, which affected the normal production of films. Therefore, Nikko changed to special low-cost pornographic films, which affected history to a certain extent. Long-established Nikkei company's reputation.

However--

Changing the way of operation did not completely save Nikko's economic predicament - with the death of Hori Hisakusaku, Nikko quickly fell into business conflicts and conflicts between shareholders and management. Moreover, this contradiction has continued to this day.

The stock market crash in 1987 had little impact on the Japanese economy as a whole, but the impact on the Sanada family, the largest shareholder of Nikko, was too great. level.

In addition, the daily life is not very profitable, and there are a lot of annoying things.

Therefore, the Sanada family has the idea of ​​selling the Nikkei equity held by their family, and the Sanada family has contacted MGM, one of the eight major Hollywood film companies, intending to sell the Nikkei equity held by their family to MGM. .

Japan has strictly controlled its own films since before World War II. For decades, although it is not like an iron barrel, there are only two ways for outsiders to enter Japan and share the world’s second largest film box office market—or Cooperate with local film companies and theater chains to accept their exploitation; or they can only directly invest money to build another theater chain in Japan like the Big Five in the United States, forcing Japanese film companies to admit and accept them.

In the past, Xu Cun always chose the former, cooperating with Kadokawa and Shochiku, accepting their exploitation.

There are three reasons why Xu Cun chose this way before:

First, funds - At first, Xu Cun had no money to build a theater chain in Japan. Later, when Xu Cun became rich, Japan's housing prices and stock prices skyrocketed to the highest in the world, so high that even rich Xu Cun would be reluctant to spend money to build a theater chain in Japan.

Second, Xu Cun at that time had no background in Japan, and was not qualified to compete with Japanese academies for a job.

The third and most important point is that the new cinema environment and equipment can be good~lightnovelpub.net~, but the location is so different that it is impossible to compare with those that have existed for decades.

Now, all three reasons have been resolved.

First, needless to say about capital, although Japan's housing prices and stock prices have almost reached historical highs, Xu Cun is really not bad for the depreciation of hundreds of millions brought by a small film company.

Second, there is no need to mention the background. Xu Cun, who has become a strategic alliance with the two major Japanese conglomerates Mitsubishi and Mitsui, can definitely be regarded as having a deep background in Japan.

Third, although the current Nikkei is far less brilliant than in the 1960s and 1970s, it still has the third largest theater chain in Japan after Toho and Kadokawa, and has dozens of theaters and movie theaters in very good locations. After rebuilding and renovating those theaters and movie theaters, Xu Cun can have a theater line that ranks among the top three in Japan. In the early 1990s, Haruki Kadokawa, who had behaved badly, was imprisoned due to a drug scandal. It was also acquired, and Xu Cun will be able to become the largest academy businessman in Japan by then.

Therefore, Xu Cun is now ready to choose the latter.
