Movie Queen Development Plan

The cooperation between Washimine and Dentsu was like a bolt from the blue to the outside world.

No one except Nanaya would have thought that these two seemingly unrelated companies would actually carry out a major business collaboration.

Washimine packaged and sold some of his overseas assets to Dentsu in exchange for Dentsu injecting 5% of its shares into Washimine's new company, Washimine Film Distribution Company.

Ordinary people may not know what this means, but people in the circle certainly know what it means.

A 5% stake was of no importance to Dentsu. What was important was that Washimine now had a powerful sword that allowed him to enter the Japanese film industry.

With this, plus his own financial resources, it is not impossible for Washimine to become the fifth largest company outside of the four major ones.

There are currently four leaders in the Japanese film industry, namely Linbao, Toei, Kadokawa and Shochiku.

The current situation is that the Lin Baosi family was happily playing mahjong at home, but suddenly someone ran in.

Then this person asked everyone to stop playing mahjong and play League of Legends instead.

Who can stand this? !

Now that Washimine has intervened, it is really uncomfortable for the other four companies, but they can do nothing about it.

It has been said before.

In the Japanese entertainment industry, Dentsu is the daddy.

Dad asked you four sons to play games with your new niece, and there was no way you four sons could refuse.

Among the four sons, some might choose a happy man to cheat others in every game, but no one would dare to directly say that this woman is too bad and should get out of here.

Regarding Dentsu's move, Linbao and other four major companies could only swallow their anger.

As for why Dentsu agreed to bring in Washimine, this involves Dentsu's strategic development.

Dentsu is the undisputed leader in the Japanese entertainment industry. Even the Japanese Oscars were produced by Dentsu in collaboration with the Big Four and TV stations.

It's just like in infinite novels, where after the protagonist clears one world, he will go to other worlds to continue the challenge.

After conquering Japan, Dentsu, which has already dominated the Japanese entertainment industry, naturally turned its attention to the international market.

However, success and failure are both due to luck.

Because of Dentsu's position in Japan, other countries will be extremely resistant to it when it enters overseas markets.

Because Dentsu has such a strong Japanese influence, all the local bosses are extremely wary of Dentsu.

Although Dentsu has tried many ways to expand its overseas markets, the results have not been very good.

To this day, Dentsu's influence is still limited to Japan.

In fact, in Nanaya's memory, even 15 years later, Dentsu's international development was still not very good.

However, it is either possible to say that Dentsu is persevering or that it has gone crazy.

From the day Dentsu took over the Japanese entertainment industry, every Dentsu leader has been tirelessly impacting overseas markets.

Dentsu has an almost pathological obsession with the international market.

And this is Washimine's chance.

In the past two years, in order to expand its pan-entertainment industry, Washimine adopted a buying strategy around the world and acquired a large number of small entertainment-related companies and industries.

These industries were integrated during the Goblin Slayer project, and many of them were relatively useless to Washimine due to duplication of business.

After all, before being acquired by Washimine, each company had a relatively complete structure, and it is not surprising that business overlaps would occur in the case of Washimine's wide-ranging acquisitions.

These industries are useless to Washimine, but they are the coveted treasures for Dentsu.

So when Washimine Shion took the initiative to find Dentsu and expressed her desire to sell this part of the assets, the current Dentsu president, Dentsu Matagi, agreed without even a second's hesitation.

Not to mention that the price offered by Washimine is reasonable, even if it is a 50% premium, Dentsu probably won't frown.

As for Washimine's idea of establishing a film distribution company, Dentsu naturally agreed.

For Dentsu, as long as Washimine does not challenge its unique position in Japan, everything else can be negotiated.

As a result, Shion successfully got a ticket to enter the Japanese film industry.

The entry of Washimine is also a good thing for Japanese film companies and filmmakers other than the Big Four.

The world has suffered from the four great things for a long time.

This is a true portrayal of the Japanese film industry at present and in the future.

Because the Big Four have so many resources in their hands that other people can only wait for death except to find a place to rely on among the Big Four.

However, relying on the Big Four means selling out oneself, and the Big Four's attitude towards them has always been to squeeze out the maximum value from them, and there is no such thing as cooperation.

Washimine's entry was like a catfish entering a pool of sardines, directly stirring up the stagnant water.

For some small companies and independent filmmakers, they now have a new support to embrace. As a newcomer, the conditions offered by Washimine are obviously much more generous than those of the Big Four.

As for those who do not want to be dependent, they can also take advantage of the fight between Washimine and the four to breathe a sigh of relief and take the opportunity to gain some benefits for themselves.

It can be said that the cooperation between Washimine and Dentsu is a good thing for everyone.

Of course, apart from the four major elements themselves.

As vested interest groups, the Big Four certainly don't want anyone to steal their cake and eat it.

It's just that Washimine's timing of intervention was really perfect.

When Washimine was negotiating with Dentsu, Linbao happened to encounter an internal power transfer. Linbao was in chaos internally and had no time to care about the outside world.

At this time, the other three of the Big Four were also fanning the flames against Lin Bao, trying to take advantage of the change of Chairman Lin Bao to gain some benefits for themselves.

Therefore, when the dust settled on Lin Bao's side, the matter between Washimine and Dentsu had already been settled.

Of course, the accident that happened to Mr. Nobuyuki could only be considered an accident. In fact, even if Mr. Nobuyuki was still in office, Washimine also planned to take advantage of the opportunity that Lin Bao focused on the promotion of "Residual Pain" to reach a cooperation with Dentsu.

However, this result made Kiritsugu stamp his feet in anger, but there was nothing he could do except to get angry.

Now all Kiritsugu can do is to find a way to limit Washimine's development as much as possible, so as to continue to maintain Linbao's position as Japan's number one film production company.

It can be said that Nanaya really ran into trouble this time.

It's like Sony and Microsoft are fighting each other, and Capcom suddenly pulls both sides' hands and says, "Let's play a game together."

Fortunately, Nanaya really didn't know about the cooperation between Washimine and Dentsu, otherwise Kiritsugu would have thrown him out of the office window as a traitor.

In fact, Nanaya was the least surprised about the collaboration between Washimine and Dentsu.

Because it was Nanaya who told her about the suggestion of letting Shion go to Dentsu.

However, at that time, Nanaya only asked Shion to use some overseas industries in exchange for Dentsu's support for Trier's development.

This was the advice given by Nanaya when Shion asked him how to develop a girl idol group.

As for the 48-series idol project, Nanaya doesn't think it's suitable for Washimine.

Producing 48-series idols requires a lot of experience in creating idol teams, which is not suitable for Washimine, who has just entered the idol industry.

But it's different if you have Dentsu as your father. Even if Dentsu just leaks a little bit of resources, it will be enough for Trier to grow and develop.

At that time, Shion did not show any particular interest in Nanaya's proposal, and Nanaya thought that Shion did not want Dentsu, a powerful guy, to interfere with Washimine.

Now it seems that Shion not only listened, but also developed and expanded this proposal further.

But now that Shion has gotten what she wanted, Nanaya feels uncomfortable.

Because of the complete break between Washimine and Lin Bao, Nanaya can only choose to use other means to achieve the goal of producing FSN.

However, the negotiations between Nanaya and Kiritsugu were not smooth, or rather, they were full of tension.

Due to the lack of Washimine as a big sponsor, Nanaya can only propose to attract external capital.

This is also a common tactic used by Hollywood when shooting high-budget movies, using a good project to attract international capital.

However, Kiritsugu was not very enthusiastic about this matter at all. His mind was now full of thoughts on how to suppress Washimine. He just felt annoyed with Nanaya's proposal for a new IP project.

"That's enough!"

After another round of fruitless negotiations, Kiritsugu's anger that had been accumulating for a while finally exploded.

"I won't allow your plan!" Kiritsugu roared.

In Kiritsugu's opinion, Nanaya now seemed like a naughty child who didn't understand his parents' good intentions.

"But if the plan succeeds..."

Kiritsugu refused to give in: "Have you ever considered the consequences of failure?!"

"I..."

In Nanaya's opinion, there is no way this plan could fail.

"Not at all, right?!" Kiritsugu sneered, "Let me tell you. If this big project fails, then Linbao will be overtaken by Washimine, who is in the limelight, and then Linbao will lose its position as the number one film company in Japan."

"And this will be your responsibility at that time! Can you, an outsider, be responsible for it?!"

Nanaya finally understood the core of the conflict between him and Kiritsugu.

In Nanaya's opinion, as long as the financial risk is shared, there will be no production problems.

However, Kiritsugu values Lin Bao's status more. If FSN fails, it will not only bring more than just financial losses to Lin Bao. More importantly, it will shake Lin Bao's position in the Japanese film industry.

Furthermore, this also concerns Kiritsugu's position in Linbao.

There was no way Kiritsugu would accept the possibility of failure in his first project after taking over Lin Bao.

No matter how much Nanaya praised the Fate project, in Kiritsugu's eyes, the new project was not as safe as the mature IP of "Kara no Kyoukai".

"Then I will find a way to raise funds myself and only let Lin Bao issue it. Is that okay? Don't worry, I won't use Washimine's funds."

Although it is a bit difficult to make $100 million on my own, it should not be a problem to make tens of millions of dollars with my reputation.

However, Kiritsugu refused again.

"No, I order you in the name of the major shareholder of [Erque Studio] that your new project must be a new movie of "Kara no Kyoukai"."

Kiritsugu gave Nanaya an order in a tone that left no room for rejection.
