Chapter 363: Takeshi Iwatas Heart? Toho Cinema Line!(2/2)
However, in this case, even if we look at it over a long period of time, we just did not lose money.
For a large company like Toho, this is actually a failure.
The good news is that many of the current projects of large Japanese companies are actually losing money.
Toho is nothing.
However, there is a key issue here.
Originally, the conservatives represented by Yamauchi and the reformers represented by that guy Shitani had been fighting.
The fight between the two sides was fierce, and this movie happened to be a weapon.
According to Shitani:
We have to keep filming!
Right, that is it.
Lost money?
It doesn't matter, keep shooting, and make this IP bigger and bigger, then we will definitely make money in the future.
This can be said to be a rather simple logic of burning money.
In fact, this itself is very consistent with the logic of large Japanese companies or Japanese people.
So stubborn.
To put it nicely, this is called craftsmanship.
Stick to one thing and work on one thing.
In fact, it's really similar.
Of course, for a large company like Toho, this spirit is different. After all, they have deep pockets and can afford to pay compensation.
If you have money, be arrogant.
But what about conservatives?
Still want to shoot?
Still want to pay?
Forget about the good years, what kind of year are we now?
How many big companies are rumored to be going bankrupt!
That is to say, the Japanese government thought it was not possible, so they provided various blood transfusions.
In fact, it makes sense for the Japanese government to do this, because the pensions in Japan are corporate annuities.
To put it simply, it is directly linked to the enterprise.
There is actually nothing wrong with this model, or in other words, it is an internationally accepted model.
The same is true in the United States. In the movie "Wall Street", Michael Douglas, a financial tycoon, later wants to run the airline company where the hero's father works.
What is he targeting?
This is the corporate annuity of this company.
When a company goes public, there is a big chunk of fat in its financial statements, which is money.
Therefore, if a large company goes bankrupt, then the money will be gone and it will be completely destroyed. Many employees will retire, that is, the coffin will be gone in an instant.
Can society still be in chaos?
The Japanese government is forced to have no choice but to save it. Otherwise, they will not be able to bear the consequences.
As a result, it seems that some large companies are still prosperous, but inside... they are almost dead, like a giant zombie.
Yamauchi and his fellow conservatives are from Hankyu Hanshin, so how could they hope that this would happen?
Toho still has vitality. If it continues to lose money... yes, the government and banks will take care of it, but it will be useless by then.
Those big companies will basically continue to carry out blood transfusions...the spirit of craftsmanship and the same business as before.
The two sides of Toho have quarreled many times, and the current situation is that Yamauchi can only ask for one foreign aid.
So, what are the conditions?
"Please Iwata-san, please speak." Yamauchi directly gave the right to speak to Takeshi Iwata.
"Okay, let's talk about this..." Takeshi Iwata's villainous smile appeared again on his ferocious face, "I make movies, so I naturally hope that my movies will be well released. So, can I sell it to theaters?
What? Of course I didn’t eat them all, you know.”
Good guy!
There was total silence on the Yamauchi side.
To be honest, he is not a fool.
What is the biggest temptation currently for Toho towards Takeshi Iwata?
It’s not just a theater!
Come to think of it, this time "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla" lost to Takeshi Iwata's "Fast and Furious 2".
This...Director Iwata, you are really awesome!
But at this point, since Yamauchi had already thought of it, he had no choice but to say so.
"I will discuss it with the boss."
"Thank you."
Takeshi Iwata sent his thanks, which is necessary.
A famous supervisor has always wanted to start a theater chain, but some resources are really difficult.
Just like location.
Toho's theater chain is better than Shochiku, isn't it because they are backed by Hankyu Hanshin?
Takeshi Iwata cannot get these resources, so he will sneak in for now.
Right, investing in the other party is a good way.
So next...
Continue filming?
Um?
It seems like someone is very anxious.
"Mr. Iwata, our matters..."
"Oh, don't worry about that."
Takeshi Iwata is not in a hurry, but the Weinstein brothers are anxious to death!
