"Two million?"

"right."

"JPY?"

"right."

"Fuck! Just such a small amount of money to buy my head? You're not telling the damn truth!"

"Boss Iwata! The conscience of heaven and earth! Everything the little one said is true."

As the saying goes, evil people will be punished by evil people.

When Takeshi Iwata completely exposed his vicious side in front of Wang Laosan, Wang Laosan couldn't be evil at all.

Soon, Wang Laosan told everything he knew.

Especially this money thing.

Actually, overall it's nothing complicated.

Zhou Fang and the others paid for it and planned to hire Wang Laosan. Their purpose was very clear, which was to kill Takeshi Iwata.

It just so happens that Takeshi Iwata's movie "The Killer Isn't Too Cold" also has a plot like this.

But in reality it's not as simple as in the movie, or in other words, the Wang Laosan that Zhou Fang and the others were looking for was not a professional 'cleaner' like Leon.

To kill a person, you have to know some information. Wang Laosan is actually not stupid. Although he did not get much information, Wang Laosan also knows that Takeshi Iwata's identity is definitely not just an ordinary director.

These days, the film industry and gangsters are almost a community of destiny.

Japan is already calming down, but Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are getting more and more violent, and there are often reports of fights caused by movies.

For example, the death of Mr. Bruce Lee is still very mysterious, and many versions have been circulated, but the gangsters can never be circumvented.

Wang Laosan may not be very familiar with Japan, but he has heard of these things.

Ever since, I wanted to explore the road, but after two explorations...

Good guy! This idea is not an ordinary one!

Takeshi Iwata is not an ordinary director, he is clearly a gangster, just for fun as a director!

As for the people on the set, every one of them is basically a member of the underworld.

And those gunshots, that firepower.

The clearest thing is now.

That gun is real!

My life is at stake. Whatever you, Iwata boss, want to hear, I, Wang Laosan, will of course say.

To be honest, Takeshi Iwata is very disgusted with Wang Laosan's current state.

Just call yourself too king.

Such people are capable of bullying their own compatriots.

But right now, Takeshi Iwata still has to make good use of Wang Laosan and the Fuqing Gang.

"2 million for my head?"

"Yes, absolutely true."

"Zhou Fang, is this all he does?"

"Shou Fang? Boss Iwata, who is Zhou Fang?"

Um?

Takeshi Iwata looked at Wang Laosan's confused face, it was definitely not a lie.

This guy doesn’t even know how to defend himself... Oh, I understand.

The vicious team leader Yakuza supervised with a strange smile on his face.

"I'm telling you, you've been kicked back by someone else!"

After a few words from Takeshi Iwata, Wang Laosan felt like someone had poured a bucket of cold water on his head.

"What the hell! Black! So damn black!"

…

Prince Hotel.

The TV set in front of Thierry and Marco had only rustling snowflakes left.

"This Killer Isn't Too Cold" has finished playing, and the two of them didn't come back to their senses for a while.

"This movie seems..."

"At least it's very unique."

"It seems to make a lot of sense."

"No, there's no big reason at all."

"But, I feel like it is."

"Well, there should be, then..."

"Marco, my dear friend, what do you want to ask?"

"Like it?"

"Of course I do, I love it so much!"

Thierry and Marco both felt that they had watched an extraordinary movie.

Maybe this movie is just a movie about a killer.

However, there are many unclear points in it.

Is Takeshi Iwata the killer special?

Or is this girl Shinobu very interesting?

Well, as far as Xiao Ren was concerned, both Thierry and Marco were a little surprised.

After all, last year, they saw an extremely innocent girl who couldn't speak.

But here, she smokes, she swears, and she... But she is really a good girl.

All in all it's pretty good.

So……

"I understand, I'll make a call right now."

"It's so late, are you crazy?"

"That's right, what should I do?"

"Who knows, let's wait until tomorrow."

Thierry stood up and poured two glasses of the red wine he had opened earlier.

Give one cup to Marco and one cup to yourself.

"Marco, I'm thinking about something."

"What's up?"

"We all know that Akira Kurosawa's era has passed. So, is there anyone who can inherit this master's mantle?"

"You mean... to introduce Takeshi Iwata to Europe and even the world? Push him to the level of Akira Kurosawa?"

"Ha! You are really smart."

"If we can succeed, then the two of us will definitely..."

"The film connoisseur who discovers the masters of Asian cinema."

After they finished speaking, they couldn't help laughing.

Years later, Venice Film Festival Chairman Marco Müller and Cannes Film Festival Chairman Thierry would still recall from time to time that night in Tokyo at the Prince Hotel.

…

Takarazuka Building seems to be no different today than in the past.

However, the arrival of Takeshi Iwata still cheered up many people.

"Iwata-san, congratulations!"

"Oh? What does Shimatani-san want to congratulate me for?"

"It's confirmed! "The Killer Isn't Too Cold" has a high chance of being shortlisted for this year's Cannes Film Festival!"

"Thank you."

Sitting in Shitani's office, drinking coffee leisurely, Takeshi Iwata got such good news.
