Chapter VII Solving Funding Problems
Although Chen Yu has too many inconsistencies in inviting Kuroki Hitomi to become the heroine of the movie, and his behavior is really strange, both Dadi Shinho and Kuroki Hitomi understand that this movie is indeed a great opportunity for a newcomer like Kuroki Hitomi who is determined to become an actress.
It is certainly a very difficult test to play two roles one person, but it is also an opportunity to show off your acting skills. If you can play these two roles well, then this movie will undoubtedly become the best proof of Kuroki Hitomi's acting skills, adding a line of weight to her identity as an actor, and it is even possible to win the Best Newcomer Award at the Film Academy Award for this movie.
So after an afternoon of discussion with Chen Yu, Kuroki Hitomi became the heroine of Chen Yu's movie.
Originally, Chen Yu also planned to take the opportunity to invite Dadi Shimao to play a supporting actress in this movie, but perhaps out of Takarazuka's pride and self-esteem, Dadi Shimao still rejected Chen Yu's invitation. Although she also planned to take the path of actresses, with her strength and resume, the first movie could not be just a supporting actress.
Dadi Zhenhao's refusal made Chen Yu feel a little regretful. He originally thought that it was really not possible, so he let Dadi Zhenhao play the boyfriend of the heroine who died, and used her Takarazuka's TOP's strong popularity to help attract some box office. But since the other party did not want to be a foil of the green leaves, Chen Yu naturally would not force it.
Although Dadi Zhenyang will become a famous actor in the future, there are so many actresses who will become famous in the future, some of whom are even famous overseas and gain a foothold internationally. Does Chen Yu still have to take everyone into his pocket?
So after he was refused to try to keep the two of them for dinner, Chen Yu also sent them out of the house very politely and politely.
But it might be a coincidence that when Chen Yu sent the two out of the house, Chen Meiyang also came back from get off work.
Although overtime was a trend in the Showa era, Chen Meiyang's work happened to be the kind that didn't require overtime, so she came back at this time and saw Chen Yu sending Dadi Zhenhao and Kuroki Hitomi out of the house.
"Aunt! Have you gotten off work?" Chen Yu saw his aunt, so he hurriedly greeted her.
"Well, but there is still a social event in the evening, I'll come back to change my clothes." Chen Meiyang worked in the bank as the financing department, which is the department responsible for loans to enterprises. Although it is a very popular position, social event... Anyway, in the era of the RB bubble economy, the sky-high business entertainment fee of 100 million yen per month was created by the bank financing department.
Seeing Chen Yu greeting Chen Meiyang, Kuroki Hitomi and Dadi Maho naturally took the initiative to bow to each other. It has to be said that the women from the Takarazuka Opera Troupe are indeed impeccable in terms of etiquette.
"Are these two..." Chen Meiyang was a little surprised. In her impression, her nephew had no friends in Tokyo.
"These two are Miss Dadi and Miss Kuroki Hitomi of Takarazuka Opera Troupe. The heroine you want to invite in the movie script you mentioned to your aunt before is Miss Kuroki Hitomi. They are here to talk to me about the script, and we have just finished talking." Chen Yu explained to his aunt, and also introduced to Kuroki Hitomi and Masahoya: "This is my aunt, I am temporarily living in my aunt's house."
Seeing Chen Yu's introduction, Kuroki Hitomi and Dadi Zhenyang made a few more polite words with Chen Meiyang before leaving here.
Looking at the departure of Dadi Zhenyang and Kuroki Hitomi, Chen Meiyang couldn't help but praise: "It's true that they are Takarazuka! These two are both 'clear, honest, and beautiful' beauties!"
Chen Yu just smiled slightly when he was young: "Aunt, you were not worse than others when you were young. I heard from my grandma that you also took the exam for Takarazuka!"
Chen Yu said, but couldn't help but laugh in his heart. Although the Takarazuka Opera Troupe has always used purity and beauty as a symbol, who would have thought that the beautiful Kuroki Hitomi, who was rated as "clear, righteous, and beautiful" by his aunt in front of him would break the Takarazuka Opera Troupe's pure image for nearly a hundred years because of her erotic movie "Incarnation" in just one year after graduating from Takarazuka?
But now that she has traveled through time, if Hitomi Kuroki debuted in "Love Letter", her development may be completely different in the future? After all, the reputation of an erotic movie actor is not very good. Otherwise, before Chen Yu traveled through time, Hitomi Kuroki would not have been able to stand out until he was 37 years old before he could truly make his debut with another erotic movie "Paradise Lost".
"It's a pity that I didn't pass the exam." When Chen Yu mentioned her past, Chen Meiyang laughed. She just laughed and said to Chen Yu: "I have seen your script for our minister. He agreed to invest in your movie, but he needs to advertise our bank in your movie, which can sponsor you five million yen as an exchange bank."
"Five million yen? Sponsorship?" Chen Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. His aunt helped him solve the one-quarter of the funding gap?
"Yes, sponsorship is not investment." Chen Meiyang looked at her nephew. Although she could understand Chen Yu's idea of not wanting others to get involved in his movies, she still persuaded Chen Yu: "I think A Yu, you can accept sponsorship from others. Isn't this kind of money that can be exchanged for just adding a little advertisement to the movie? Isn't it better than trying your best to raise it yourself?"
"But there are not many companies that are willing to sponsor newcomers like me, right? If you use the script to convince others, others will not sponsor but invest." Chen Yu shook his head. It is of course a good thing to have sponsorship, but neither he nor director Zhou Fangzhengxing felt that someone would come to give money with his reputation.
However, now that I have 5 million yen to account, this has solved at least one-quarter of my shooting costs. In addition, Zhou Fangzhengxing said that he could attract some sponsorships, and the gap in shooting funds of 20 million can almost be said to be half of the instant, which made Chen Yu feel better.
Back in the house, Chen Meiyang put down his briefcase and walked towards the kitchen while saying to Chen Yu: "By the way, A Yu, you mentioned the loan in the morning, and I will also ask you. If you mortgage the three thousand cedars at home, the bank can give you a loan amount of 35 million yen."
