"Washimine Entertainment and Sony Columbia will always be good partners for Hollywood cooperation."
Nanaya smiled like a weasel seeing a fat hen: "So in terms of film and television, if Mr. Hirai needs anything, Washimine Entertainment will definitely help."
"Okay... please help Director Kiryu."
Sony smacked his lips twice. He didn't understand why Nanaya deliberately pronounced Kazuo Hirai's name in Chinese.
"Sony Representative, is there anything else you can do?"
Nanaya straightened his body and signaled the other party that he could leave if he was fine.
Representative Sony hesitated for a moment, but he finally shook his head.
"No, I'm leaving now."
After Sony left, Nanaya drank Sera's hot tea and said slowly: "I bet this guy must have something to hide."
"Indeed."
Sera, who was standing behind Nanaya, suddenly spoke.
"Do you know what he wants to say?"
Nanaya didn't expect Sera to actually talk to him. You know, Sera never comments on her work.
"The other company representatives are trying to convince you to take [See Moon] public," Sera explained. "They're a little concerned that you're being too hands-on with [See Moon]."
"How do you know this?" Nanaya looked at Sera curiously.
Sera replied: "Miss Shion told me just now when I went to get some hot water. She asked me to remind you secretly so that you would pay attention."
"Who knew this guy wouldn't even have the courage to mention it."
Sera complained in a low voice, she seemed a little dissatisfied with Sony's performance.
Nanaya chuckled: "It can't be helped. I agreed to my uncle's matter so readily that he was embarrassed to ask."
Nanaya could also guess that those representatives wanted to encourage him to list [See Moon].
[See Moon] With profits increasing over the past two years, the Big Six have paid more and more attention to this streaming platform.
Of course, they hope that [See Moon] will develop better and better, so they are increasingly dissatisfied with Nanaya's arbitrary behavior in [See Moon].
The management philosophy of European and American companies is very different from that of the East, and they have a natural distrust of company founders.
It is always believed that the founder's autocracy will ruin the company.
After all, there are too many such examples in Western society.
The easiest way to limit the power of founders is to take the company public.
Capitalism in Europe and the United States has developed for hundreds of years, and there are various legal restrictions on listed companies.
To put it bluntly, these people were afraid that Nanaya would be too self-willed and would ruin [See Moon].
Nanaya himself did not have much resistance to the listing of [See Moon].
Perhaps some people think that going public is simply a way to cheat money, and that companies go public just to cash out.
If the company is developing healthily, there is no need to go public.
After all, after going public, the equity will be dispersed and one's own power will be reduced.
Nanaya did not have such superficial ideas. Raising funds through listing is indeed a very important reason for listing, but the benefits of listing are far more than that.
Moreover, for a healthy and normal enterprise, it is necessary for it to be subject to social supervision after going public.
[See Moon] will definitely be launched, but now is not the right time.
Nanaya twirled his pen, thinking about the launch plan for [See Moon] in his mind.
"Seven Nights..."
Sera called out to Nanaya who was lost in thought.
"Ah?" Nanaya stopped spinning the pen, "I think the time for listing is not right yet, let's wait until FGO is online..."
Sera shook her head slowly: "I just want to ask, why do you call Mr. Hirai your uncle, Nanaya? Are you relatives?"
"…I was just talking nonsense."
Nanaya said with a blushing face.
————————————————————————
With the conclusion of the [See Moon] shareholders' meeting, FGO's mobile game project and web drama project were both approved.
In order to keep up with the popularity of "Prologue", the two projects immediately began to be prepared in full swing.
The storyline of FGO will basically be similar to that of Nanaya's previous life, except that the scripts for the first few singularities will be rewritten by FGO's screenwriter team.
Nanaya didn't expect them to write a script that was so earth-shattering and heart-wrenching, but at least it should be better than the leaves burned at graves in the original version.
As for the launch time of the game, Nanaya initially scheduled it for the second half of this year, which is the same time period as the release of "The Hundred Years of War of the Evil Dragon".
The update time of the main storyline chapters of the game will generally be slower than that of the movie version.
In other words, the players' progress in saving humanity will never catch up with the speed of the Seven Nights movie being released.
Although the plot has been announced, the FGO movie will have more "original fans".
But on the other hand, Fate fans will be spoiled before watching the movie, which will ruin the movie-watching experience.
In the past life, the fact that "Infinity War" and "End Game" were able to explode with such high box office potential in the early stages was inseparable from Marvel's strict plot confidentiality.
Because no one wanted to be spoiled, they all bought tickets for the premiere.
The purpose is to finish watching the movie as soon as possible.
Although this anti-spoiler atmosphere was partly created by Disney's publicity and promotion, the results are indeed good.
So Nanaya plans to use the same marketing method.
In this case, mobile game players will have to suffer.
However, as compensation, mobile game players can enjoy a more complete plot.
Due to the limited length of the film, many details cannot be described one by one.
But the game text does not have such troubles, and players can see the complete singularity story script.
Anyway, players who play the game after watching the movie are die-hard fans, and they definitely want the game text to be as detailed as possible.
As for the FGO web drama project, early preparations have also begun.
The first singularity of the web drama is the original third singularity - "The End of the Four Seas".
In fact, the text quality of the third singularity was considered good in the early days of FGO.
Unfortunately, compared to "United as One", the main storyline is still a little less important.
So "Four Seas" had to be ruthlessly deleted.
Now that the web drama project has been launched, Nanaya will of course add the third singularity back.
While Nanaya was busy opening the film, the North American box office was being swept by "Prologue".
Every summer season in the North American film market is filled with commercial films with large and medium-sized investments.
This year is no exception.
However, the commercial performance of "Prologue", the opening movie of this summer season, is truly terrifying.
After earning 17.52 million at the midnight show, "Prologue" followed with a premiere day box office of 46.23 million.
In the end, thanks to Lily's huge appeal, "Prologue" raked in $126.4 million in its first weekend, achieving remarkable commercial results.
While marveling at the powerful appeal of Fate, other film companies have already foreseen the success of the next series of FGO movies.
So far, there has been no film series in history where the performance of the sequel has collapsed drastically despite the good reputation of the previous film.
In other words, as long as the next few FGO movies can maintain their current level, it will not be a problem for Washimine Entertainment to make huge profits.
Think about it again, Washimine is currently planning to release online dramas and mobile games to make money in depth.
The other six major companies can only sigh that those who can make money are awesome.
Unfortunately, the competition for this year's summer movie season is too fierce.
"Prologue" only stayed at the top of the box office chart for one week before being replaced by the new film "Fast & Furious 5" the following week.
This action movie series was originally considered just a second-rate Hollywood production.
Both the investment scale and the cast of the film were just average in the first part.
However, the movie received quite good reviews and box office results after its release.
It's a pity that the production standards of the next two sequels in the series were mediocre, and even their reputation almost collapsed.
However, starting from the fourth film, the producers began to change their filming strategy.
Not only did it increase the investment in the film, but it also injected more violence and destruction elements into the series.
Although these moves distanced the series further from racing, the result was extremely high box office and popularity.
Especially the fifth part released this time, after the popular actor Dwayne Johnson joined, it burst out with super vitality.
Looking at the first weekend box office performance of "Fast & Furious 5" of 86.2 million US dollars, Nanaya had to admit that brainless and refreshing action movies are still popular in the market.
It turns out that [fun] is the mainstream of popcorn movies and the secret of commercial movies.
Some people jokingly call the "Fast and Furious" series a team of bald agents, and the more bald heads there are in the movie, the greater the box office potential.
Nanaya thought about it and felt that it made sense.
After all, after the third bald guy, Jason Statham, joined the film, the box office must have increased.
Why did that spin-off perform so well? It's because the lead actors were two bald guys.
It seems that there is a reason why "Fast and Furious 8" has a bad reputation.
If Queen Charlize Theron could imitate the Ancient One and have a bald head, maybe the reputation of the movie could be restored.
However, "Fast & Furious 5" also did not enjoy its glory for long. Like most popcorn movies that cannot last long, "Fast & Furious 5" started strong but ended weakly. Its box office plummeted by 60% in the second weekend, earning only over 30 million US dollars.
In comparison, the word-of-mouth and box office performance of "Prologue" are much better than those of "Fast and Furious 5".
Even in its third week of release, it still won the box office championship with a box office of more than 40 million US dollars.
One can't help but sigh that your Uncle Fate will always be your Uncle Fate.
At the same time, after being reviewed by a certain department, "Prologue" was released in China in its original version without any cuts.
It earned 105 million RMB on its first day of release, becoming the first movie in China to earn over 100 million RMB on its first day.
