Perhaps it was because this child was really a gift from God to Ning Weimin and Keiko Matsumoto.
Perhaps it was because Ning Weimin gave red envelopes to all his grassroots employees, which also accumulated virtue and added blessings to them.
Anyway, since Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Kyoko returned to Tokyo, Japan and confirmed that Kyoko was pregnant, their luck has become particularly good.
It’s like everything you want, everything you want, everything will come true.
The future mother of Keiko Matsumoto, first learned happily that during the period when she was not in Japan, the TV series "Black Leather Notepad" starring her has firmly ranked first in the national hot list of Japanese dramas since the third episode. .
In the end, the ratings ended with an average of 33.7% and a maximum of 39.1% in time-sharing.
This result even made the show squeeze into the fifth place with the highest ratings of Japanese dramas so far.
Then she got a surprising account sharing data from Songzhu.
The second masterpiece produced by Xuzhiwu Studios was also successful in the Valentine's Day release.
In the end, it won a box office of 3.3 billion yen in Japan, creating a new high box office result for the films of Mist Studios.
Moreover, the theme song of this movie, "The Stream of the World", also received a great response in the Japanese music scene. The single quickly rose to the top of the hot list as the box office of the film rose steadily and was widely praised by people.
The soundtrack album produced and released by Taurus Stocks for this film also sold 550,000 copies in the Japanese market.
So far, the profits of this film's box office in Japan and the soundtrack album alone have been enough to cover the production cost, and it has even begun to make a profit, with a profit of at least 300 million to 400 million yen.
In other words, this movie is destined to make a big profit.
In the future, the returns in other markets will be net profit.
Moreover, the copyright income will continue to make fog studios profitable in the future.
But this is not the most important thing. The key is that this TV series and movies are completely filled with applause and rare criticism in the newspapers.
This means that Matsumoto Kyoko's Mite Studio not only further consolidated its position in the film industry, but also increased its voice.
Moreover, the situation was opened up in the fact that major TV stations were originally almost completely controlled by TV series production, forcibly tearing a gap and gaining a certain amount of development space.
In addition, due to the French films under the name of Keiko Matsumoto, the Chinese-language film market brought to Japan by Ning Weimin both performed well, and the number and types of films in their library are enough for these independent theaters to be released all year round.
Now, not only are there more and more independent theaters that have decided to maintain long-term cooperative relationships with them, but Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto have stable cooperation partners.
The help of Matsutake Movie further covers the projection business of these movies to Yokohama, Sapporo, Kobe, Hiroshima and Nagoya.
It can be said that Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko rely on the film library and controlled some independent theaters that were originally unsystematic in their own hands.
Although the two of them did not intend to invest in the establishment of a theater, in this way, they could have their own theater chains, which could at least cover most Japanese big cities and ensure that at least fifty screens were released simultaneously.
So it is precisely because of this that Ning Weimin used his wife's Fog Studio to introduce Japan's first Hong Kong film "A Chinese Ghost Story", which was able to use the theater chain of Songzhu Film and these independent theaters to increase the opening screen to 100. The number of simultaneous releases in more than 40 cinemas.
And it soon proved that this movie was a box office dark horse, with a box office of 280 million yen in the first week.
Not much, the quality of the film's box office depends on many factors.
It includes the theme and script of the film, the main creative team, the positioning of the film, the quality of the film, ticket price, schedule, distribution, theater screening, publicity and promotion, etc., but no matter what, the number of screens to open is the most important.
The more theaters are screened, the more audiences will be able to see it, and the more conducive it is to reputation.
This is why "A Chinese Ghost Story" became popular in Japan. Compared with the original history, even if there were no two starring Leslie Cheung and Joey Wong to come to Japan to promote the film this time.
But because of the large number of paintings, this movie still makes it popular with its excellent quality, romantic national aesthetics, and the themes that the Japanese like, and is destined to be far ahead of the original box office. 360 million yen.
In short, Matsumoto Kyoko's Mite Studio has completed its transformation at an unimaginable speed and has become a production institution and producer that must be respected by the Japanese industry.
Now, whether it is a cinema chain or a TV station as a media platform, or a agency that makes a living by drinking artists, they cannot help but greet the Mist Studio with a smile.
Because Mist Studio not only likes to shoot large-scale works, but also achieves success frequently, such production capabilities are simply too important to them.
The benefits that fog studios can bring to them are countless, and now in their eyes are equivalent to a random money printing machine and money tree.
It can be said that as long as the future large-scale production works of Wu Studio will not encounter Waterloo-like failures in the future.
This film and television drama production agency will be their partner that they will never refuse.
Putting aside the background and business scale, let’s talk about the current industry influence.
In fact, in the eyes of industry insiders, Misty Studios is already comparable to the "five majors" in Japanese film industry.
As long as the number of works shot every year can be gradually increased, it is a foregone conclusion that Fog Studios will become the "Six Major".
So because of this, Matsumoto Keiko won the Best Actress Award again at the 11th Japan Film Academy Awards.
Her Fog Studio won seven awards including Best Film, Best Director, Best Actress for the movie "Li Xianglan", and even became the No. 1 box office film in Japan in 1987. It's all natural.
In fact, at the award ceremony, when Matsumoto Keiko took the stage to receive the award, countless filmmakers stood up to applaud her, which was unprecedented in the Academy Awards.
It is enough to prove her current status in the Japanese art world. Almost everyone has to spoil her, pat her, coax her, and provide for her. This is the industry status.
Of course, it is unknown how many of them are admired, how many are grateful, how many are flattering, and how many are fear or surrender to the general trend.
Anyway, no matter what, Matsumoto Keiko, who is about to become a mother, can be called elegant and luxurious recently.
Although the only drawback is that she has a strong morning sickness reaction, which is something that has caused her a lot of torture recently.
But the good news that the career has been prosperous has greatly comforted her, provided her with motivation to boost her spirits, and effectively reduced her pain.
Help her pass the most intense period of reaction without realizing it.
And this is her own personal benefit.
As for Ning Weimin, it is also not inferior.
This time when he returned to Tokyo, he was simply back to get the red envelope.
He is going to do one thing, just count money!
For nothing else, it is because since 1988, Japan has completely entered a frenzy era of out-of-control credit expansion.
First of all, under the "window guidance" of the Bank of Japan, the loan indicators that major Japanese banks need to complete are getting higher and higher, which forces these banks to take increasingly excessive and unconventional operations.
How excessive are these so-called unconventional operations?
It's too much to be overkill. Major banks in Japan have not only begun to lend a large amount of funds to individuals and enterprises who have no ability to repay, but have also begun to relax the value assessment of collateral, especially for real estate.
In the past, when a house was mortgaged, the bank only released 50% of the loan, but now it has increased to 70%.
And as houses continue to appreciate, this proportion is still increasing.
The bank will also take the initiative to ask customers who have already borrowed a loan and ask if they are willing to add additional loans.
In the words of thirty years later, it is the "large release of water" of the faucet completely unscrewed.
It’s not that you can pick up as much as you can, but that you can pick up as much as you want.
The bank has enough management.
So in Japan, whether it is a small company or an individual, you can easily get low-interest loans.
And in this era of stock prices and land prices flying wildly, who would use these loans to really do business?
Of course, after getting it, you will buy stocks and real estate.
Secondly, Japanese banks not only cause bubbles through lending, but also directly participate in creating bubbles.
Japanese consortiums hold a large number of stocks across each other, and two-thirds of the stocks in the entire Japanese stock market are held by companies.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
The banks controlled by these consortiums alone account for nearly half of the shares held.
Everyone has me, and I have you.
Especially in early 1988, Japan also issued new accounting standards - if the stocks held by banks appreciate, some of them can also be recorded as real returns of the year.
This principle is replaced by a popular way of expression, as long as the stock price keeps rising, no matter whether the company actually makes money or not, it will make money on the books.
If you make money on the books, the stock price will continue to rise.
This is a mutually reinforcing cycle.
The interest rate was so low at that time, and the consortium raised funds and borrowed money to buy each other's stocks, making the bubble bigger and bigger, and the last out of control was out of control.
In general, there is a complete consensus on the pursuit of stocks and real estate in Japan, no matter what level, under the prevalence of credit.
All of Japan are immersed in the fantasy of high land prices and high stock prices, daydreaming.
People are deeply trapped in the fanatical wave of money worship and cannot extricate themselves. Almost all assets, stocks, real estate, and even artworks, and golf membership certificates have begun to rise at an astonishing speed.
Relatively speaking, only the loan threshold and the bank's interest have been lowered.
It is conceivable how good this is for bubble gentlemen!
There are many things about getting rich every day when a carp jumps over the dragon gate.
Like Ning Weimin, he was soon contacted by Jimao and his son.
It wasn't him who took the initiative to look for him, it was him who took the initiative to look for him.
The father and son really deserve him, and were almost grateful. They also gave him 100 billion yen from Sumitomo Bank, and the interest rate was only 2.5%.
Ning Weimin sent the money to the stock market without hesitation, and with the capital allocation, he went to the stock market.
The stocks he bought were indeed successful, especially Hanwa Industrial Bank, whose total assets, including the balance of commercial paper issuance, have exceeded 6 trillion yen.
The balance of TG and designated Gold Trusts is also as high as 600 billion yen, most of which are held by securities companies and trust banks with a "handshake" of earnings guaranteed rate under the premise of rising stock prices.
Therefore, the market value of Hanwa Industrial has undoubtedly exceeded 880 billion yen and has begun to set new highs.
The land price is even more amazing.
During this period, the housing prices on Ginza Street in Tokyo had reached 350,000 US dollars per square meter.
The two Ginza properties under Ning Weimin's name are worth up to 40 million US dollars.
It is really no joke to say that Japan can buy the United States at this time.
Therefore, a large number of tourism real estate projects and high-end hotels in Guam and Hawaii have changed their owners and become Japanese.
Even in European countries, news and news about Japanese purchasing large amounts of assets are frequently heard.
Even real estate developers and service staff in European and American countries have begun to be keen on learning Japanese in order to get higher labor compensation.
Therefore, Ning Weimin now cannot calculate how many assets he has in his name, because the leverage is overflowing, the debt composition becomes complicated.
It is also because asset prices are changing too quickly.
He just finished counting a number when the back foot changed again.
Of course, it must be a better direction, and the money is getting more and more, and he is very sure about this.
In short, Ning Weimin is now full of absolute confidence in his personal property and his own economic strength.
He no longer cares about the risk of investment failure that needs to support his wife's career. Can he have a high risk of leverage?
Even if all the projects that were invested in this year were compensated, he didn't care.
However, Matsumoto Keiko's pregnancy made him feel uneasy. Although he was ecstatic, he had to barely change his work plan for the new year for the safety of the fetus and his wife's health.
At least, she can't make it. The scene was frozen and hungry, and she was also displaced. It was too painful to act. He was unwilling to pursue the sense of reality, so the child went to take risks.
At first, Keiko Matsumoto was a little reluctant. She loved acting and couldn't stand Ning Weimin's caution. Thinking about not working for a year, she just had to eat, drink and have fun, and she gave her who had never dared to relax like this. It's really I think it's a bit boring, a little empty, and even a fear.
But then again, Matsumoto Keiko also wanted to tie her to the bed to raise her baby because Ning Weimin wanted to tie her to the bed.
There is a special concern in it, which is something that Japanese men are difficult to do.
For example, Ning Weimin first took her around to find obstetricians and gynecologists in well-known hospitals and asked about various precautions.
Then he studied related books every day and gave her many instructions every day.
It can be said that Ning Weimin was much busy after she became pregnant.
But no matter how busy he is, he doesn't want his wife to be busy. He does the housework, makes nutritious meals for his wife, and also helps Qingzi handle the affairs of the firm and studio.
Of course, Keiko Matsumoto felt sorry for her husband's busyness, but Ning Weimin did not feel tired or hard. Instead, he felt that life had a clear vision, and life was more meaningful than before.
All of this made Matsumoto Keiko feel extremely sweet. Although she felt that Ning Weimin was a little too concerned about her, she was willing to accept it. She was the happiest pregnant woman in the world. (This chapter ends)
