Chapter 1368 Don’t talk about martial ethics
At 7:30 in the evening, Ning Weimin and others walked out of the building where Burning Production office is located.
Because it is summer, the sky is still very bright at this time, but the neon lights have all lit up and become dazzling.
The evening in Tokyo has just arrived, with the smell of feasting and corruption of capitalism, and the increasingly loud music filling the streets with busy pedestrians, tempting the Japanese with bulging pockets to hurry up To have fun and spend money that is easily available to them.
However, because they had just suffered the most rude insult and expulsion, Ning Weimin and the others remained silent.
This low mood is formed by the female middle school students on the street carrying big schoolbags and wearing miniskirts while shopping, the formal office workers walking together with large bottles of whiskey in their hands, and the ladies wearing kimonos walking in and out of high-end coffee shops. A stark contrast.
For them, the weather is not only sultry and hot, making them want to smash everything, but even the faint sound of music is full of depression.
"President Ning, I'm so sorry. I was so embarrassed today, and my momentum was completely suppressed when facing the enemy. I was at fault, and it was I who made the studio lose face."
Because Ning Weimin didn't speak after he walked out, Akira Okamoto, who felt guilty, couldn't wait to apologize to Ning Weimin as soon as he walked out of the door of the building.
But he was really worrying too much. In fact, Ning Weimin was just thinking about things, not angry.
He said "Oh", came to his senses and immediately waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.
"Don't say that, Director Okamoto. You did nothing wrong and don't need to blame yourself. On the contrary, our plan went smoothly. Don't you already know everything you want to know? And... ..."
Having said this, he turned around and asked the company legal officer next to him, "Mamiya, how are you? Did you film what just happened?"
That's called Ma. The young lawyer from the palace quickly opened his handbag to check, and then replied confidently.
“There should be no problem. The camera has been running and the position has been tested many times. Although the final effect can only be verified by seeing it with one’s own eyes. I don’t know if the desk blocks the lens. The other party’s face was clearly captured. But I think there was not a single facial shot in the room, and at least every word was recorded, which can be used as evidence.”
< br>
"Okay, great. If that's the case, then we have realized the plan perfectly. You all have contributed today. I will treat you to a drink later. Come on, let's get in the car and go back to the office."
< br>These words immediately made Okamoto Akira and the lawyer breathe a sigh of relief, and their hanging hearts fell into their stomachs.
Yes, despite the fact that Ning Weimin and the lawyer named Mamiya just stood in the room and scolded each other without saying a word.
But in fact, they were trying to trick Zhou Fangyuxiong, and they had successfully tricked the old boy.
Before Ganqing arrived, Ning Weimin had found a Panasonic camcorder and put it in a handbag. He also dug a hole in the side of the bag according to the size of the lens, and asked his lawyer to test it repeatedly. Used the method of candid photography.
This technique, to put it bluntly, is a crude method used by Republic reporters in the 1990s to collect materials and evidence through secret visits. In fact, it is not worth mentioning at all.
But then again, the simpler the more effective many things are.
Especially at this time when even the concept of "censorship" has not yet appeared in adult AV.
Considering that the price of camcorders in Japan has just dropped to a minimum of 100,000 yen, such electronic toys have not yet become popular among ordinary people.
Indeed, no one has thought about this application method of video cameras, even professional paparazzi reporters. Ning Weimin only understood such an unethical "technique" after being exposed.
Ordinary people, who would have thought that a camcorder can be used like this?
The actual application of this kind of candid photography method is considered "high technology".
That’s why Ikkio Shu was so open-minded in his office and got off to a good start without any precautions.
And this is one of the reasons why lawyer Akira Okamoto admires Ning Weimin from the bottom of his heart.
Both of them were convinced. Ning Weimin actually took pictures of everything with just a hole-in-the-hole handbag right under the eyes of the enemy.
What kind of brain is this?
It’s amazing.
If this videotape is exposed, it will undoubtedly be a scandal that will shock the entire Japanese entertainment industry.
Solid evidence that no one can deny is enough to confirm Ikuo Shu’s bullying behavior in the industry.
And what’s even more incredible is that it is precisely because this is direct evidence related to Shu Fang Ikuo himself, even though the Burning Department has considerable control over the media.
But when the time comes, it won’t matter whether he bans it or not.
Because as long as one media exposes this matter, as long as everyone realizes that he is preventing the public from knowing the truth, then he will be in big trouble.
As a jingle from Beijing residents goes - "Silly young people cross the road and shit their pants with chicken shit. Find a piece of candy paper to wipe your butt, and the more you wipe it, the stickier it becomes." This is what it means.
After a while, they walked to the parking lot. Ning Weimin and the others opened the door and got into their own car.
Up to this moment, I felt that the conversation environment was further safe, and Okamoto Akira began to ask for instructions on the next specific task.
"President Ning, what are we going to do next? After we sort out these video tape materials, are we going to use it to negotiate terms with the Combustion Department? Or are we going to directly find the media to expose these videos?"
"There is no rush. , let’s put the video tape aside for now.”
While Mamiya started the car, Ning Weimin stared ahead quietly, “Actually, in this matter, the person just now was just a gangster. You can’t make the decision. If you want to solve it, you have to reach an agreement with the person who controls the president.”
As soon as Okamoto said this, he suddenly remembered what Ikuo Shubo said that he couldn’t understand. , then asked.
"President Ning, is what the other party said just now true? Which wealthy Asian family have we offended?"
"Well, it's the Sugar King of Asia, the Kuok family. They also have a hotel business. Have you heard of Shangri-La Hotel? There is not one in Japan yet, but there are already branches in Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong cities and our country's capital in Asia. . The eldest son of the Guo family fell in love with Teresa and almost got married. It was only because the other party’s family looked down on Teresa’s status as an artist that the marriage failed.”< br>
That’s it!
Okamoto Akira couldn't help but gasped. Only now did he understand the crux of the matter.
But after understanding it, he became more worried.
"Then...then what should we do? Do we really have to..."
Having said this, he subconsciously closed his mouth.
For no other reason, in his heart, although Matsumoto Keiko and Ning Weimin are already great people.
But he also knew that if Fog Studios was embarrassed by such a wealthy family, there would still be a huge disparity in strength, and there would probably be no good results.
Otherwise, why would Ning Weimin hesitate to take revenge on Zhou Fang Yuxiong?
If it had been him, he would have exposed the videotape right away and made Ikkio Suho, who scolded him so much, look at him.
It was probably because Ning Weimin was afraid of the Sugar King family that he could not retaliate against Zhou Fang Yuxiong. But he really guessed wrong.
For Ning Weimin, what if there is anything in this world that is unforgivable and irreconcilable?
That is an insult and injury to the people close to him.
This is just like the quarrel between people in Beijing in this era on the street.
It doesn't matter how much you scold or hurt each other, generally you can't fight.
Even if you do it, it won't hurt your muscles and bones, and you can relieve each other's anger. Once people leave, it's over, and everyone should do what they should do.
But scolding is only for individuals. Don’t insult family members, especially don’t insult your hometown, and don’t insult your parents.
That is the great evil of a bitch. I will definitely beat you up without any discussion, just to see the blood.
It’s common to go to the knife for this, and I won’t lose even if I kill you. This is the bottom line of human beings.
So despite Ning Weimin's business philosophy of "harmony brings wealth" and the principle of "equal benefits", he is often willing to suffer a small loss, but he can also tolerate and forgive others' selfishness to a certain extent.
But this time, he did not intend to forgive Ikuo Suho.
Even if he reconciles with the Sugar King family and resolves this matter, he will not give up until he kills this guy.
Who made this bastard go further than Fukasaku Kinji, who dared to be mean and blatantly tease and insult his wife several times?
The clay figurines are still earthy. Which man can stand this?
Chong Guan was so angry that he couldn't even look in the mirror if he didn't kill this guy.
This is a deadly feud, there is no solution!
No doubt, no negotiation, no matter what the cost.
But the problem now is that this guy is just a gangster. If he directly takes action to make this guy infamous, it will not be helpful to his current predicament, and it may even be a bit uneconomical.
Not to mention whether he can completely bring down Ikuo Zhou Fang and let out such a bad breath.
Let's talk about the Sugar King family. In fact, once they find that they are entrusted to someone who is wrong, it is easy to find a more capable helper.
Then he will have one more enemy. This arithmetic problem cannot be turned into addition.
So what he cares about now is not to remove the thorn in Zhou Fang Ikuo's flesh as soon as possible and let him receive the punishment he deserves.
But how can we contact the Sugar King family as soon as possible and directly negotiate and negotiate on this matter.
After all, he has invested so much in this movie, and he doesn’t want to disband the crew directly. He still wants to win the other party’s understanding as much as possible and save the project.
If necessary, he is willing to go to Malaysia or Singapore to explain the matter face to face, and can also modify the script according to the other party's requirements.
And if the Sugar King family insists on not being able to film, even if they force him to make such a compromise, then he has to ask Teresa Teng for her opinion first.
After all, he was the one who got people into trouble with his persuasive words. He wanted to use their sad past to make money through this gimmick.
People were deceived by him, but he half regretted it. This is too shameful and fucked up. You can never do things like this.
And even if Teresa Teng agrees, it is impossible for him to meet the requirements of the Sugar King family without any conditions. He has to ask the other party to pay for the financial losses.
The crew members must not be paid less, otherwise they will not be able to recruit the crew for filming if they lose their credibility in the future.
The Sugar King family must have gained face and would not haggle over the 20 million US dollars with him.
Giving face and understanding is the perfect solution to the problem.
Considering the worst-case scenario, if the Sugar King family really ignores him, or is being a bitch, they won't even give him any leeway.
That’s okay, just let’s break up.
Unlike when he was unprepared and taken aback at the beginning, after careful consideration, he also figured this out clearly. Although the Sugar King family is powerful, the current size is not comparable to him at all.
But the Guo family's business is in the grain, oil, sugar, shipping and hotel industries, and they have not been involved much in Japan.
The main bases of the Guo family are Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and the Philippines, as well as Hong Kong City.
Although they attach great importance to the mainland market, it is still in the public relations stage.
In other words, as long as Ning Weimin concentrates on developing in Japan, Sugar King's hand cannot completely reach Japan across the sea.
To a certain extent, Ning Weimin's career foundation in Japan is quite secure.
Then he is still afraid of a dick?
After thinking about it, Ning Weimin felt that his biggest loss and risk was simply to stop worrying about most of the Southeast Asian markets after completely offending King Sugar.
Others, the Guo family can't do anything to him.
So once the fear was gone, Ning Weimin began to consider specific measures, and quickly gave orders to Akira Okamoto.
"Director Okamoto, starting from tomorrow, you will find a way to contact the Kuok family in Malaysia as soon as possible in the name of Fog Film Factory. If you get in touch, you can tell the other party that this matter is a misunderstanding. Even if we meant There is no intention to offend the Sugar King family. As the decision-maker on this matter, I will also take responsibility and apologize in person and explain the matter clearly. Of course, I can also terminate the filming of "Crazy Rich Asians". Conditional negotiation. But you have to tell the other party that we don’t need an intermediary. We just want to communicate face-to-face with the representatives of the Guo Group.”
“Understood” Akira Okamoto immediately. He nodded and said.
It’s just that although I agreed quickly, I was a little weak and depressed.
Ning Weimin clearly noticed Akira Okamoto's frustration and knew that he mistakenly thought that he had compromised unconditionally.
So he smiled and reassured him.
"Don't worry, I assure you, we are by no means an unconditional compromise. Even King Sugar can't do whatever he wants. Especially when that bastard Ikuo Suho humiliated us in front of us today, it's even more impossible to let it go. We We will definitely get justice. Just be patient. In addition, don't worry about the future of Fog Film Factory. There will be difficulties on the way to the top, but this is not the first time this has happened to us. We have experienced it. We are never afraid of any difficulties, aren't we? "
"Yes, President Ning!" Okamoto was stunned, not expecting Ning Weimin at all. Put it this way.
Although he was still a little uneasy in his heart, seeing Ning Weimin's calm and composed look, he seemed quite confident, and suddenly he felt a little more at ease.
