Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 358 Can we add our company's camera logo to the movie?
R is located at 30 Fan, Shimo Maruko [-]-chome, Ota-ku, Tokyo.

This is where Canon's headquarters is located. Masaichi Tanaka is watching a micro movie on his computer in his office.

Canon is a world-leading comprehensive group in Japan that produces imaging and information products. As the vice president in charge of sales of the world's top 500 companies, he has a lot of work every day. How can he have time to appreciate these films with a strong literary color.

But he has watched this micro movie several times.

It was the award-winning "Leave Me" at the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival. The reason why Ichiro Yamamoto was interested in him was because it was a microfilm shot with a Canon camera!

Through his understanding of the product, he can conclude that the 1DX series SLR camera is used, which is not the latest product of Canon but released a few years ago.

Leaving aside the story of the film itself, Tanaka Masaichi dares to conclude that this is a photographer with a very solid foundation based on the quality of the shots taken by a photographer.

Looking at the plot again, Tanaka Masaichi couldn't help sighing that an old man like himself who has turned [-] and has seen all kinds of things in the world can't help but feel sour for a while because of the love and family affection shown in the movie.

Of course, as a businessman, this is not the focus of his attention. He is interested in the commercial value of this micro-movie.

He was watching a scene at the beginning of the movie, which was a close-up of the Canon camera used, but the Canon logo was not taken! "

Ahhhhh!
If Canon's logo can be displayed here, it is a good Canon camera commercial in a sense!
But the other party didn't do that!

This made Tanaka Masaichi feel crazy.

Turning off the video, Masaichi Tanaka pondered for a while, then he suddenly made a call from his landline, which was to Ichiro Yamamoto, President of Canon Asia Sales Group.

"Yamamoto-kun, I have a very interesting micro-movie, I send it to you."

"Oh? Then please send it over."

Five minutes after the video was posted, Masaichi Tanaka received a call from Ichiro Yamamoto: "Mr. Tanaka, it really is a good movie, touching your heart. More importantly, you only need to make some changes and put the Canon logo on it. An excellent commercial film promoting Canon!"

"That's exactly what I mean. I hope Mr. Tanaka will send someone to talk about it."

"Okay, I'll send someone to talk right away!"

"Then I will trouble you, Tanaka-kun."

It was noon the next day when Yu Dongqing got the news. It was Yang Liu from the studio who called, saying that she received a strange phone call from Canon Asia Sales Group, saying that she had something important to talk to Yu Dongqing. Mr. Contact.

"Ms. Yu, the other party said that you made a micro movie. They are very interested in it and want to talk to you..."

microfilm?Canon?

Yu Dongqing immediately thought of something, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Yang Liu, tell them that I am willing to talk to them, and you will be responsible for the specific time and method of contact." Yu Dongqing said.

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

The two sides met on the second day, and Yu Dongqing was sitting at the round table in the conference room. Besides Yang Liu, there was also a college student who was the Japanese translator of Yu Dongqing that Yang Liu had found from Beijing Foreign Studies University.

Canon representatives arrived on time, with a young assistant.

"Hello, Mr. Yu Dongqing, I am Masaki Taketake, Director of the Marketing Division of Canon Asia Sales Group. It's an honor to meet you." Masaki Otake took the initiative to extend his right hand.

It turned out to be fluent in Chinese.

Well, it seems that the translation is not available.

After the two shook hands, Yu Dongqing smiled:
"Hello, Mr. Dazhu, I'm Yu Dongqing, I don't know what your company is looking for me for?"

"We are very interested in the micro-movie "Leave Me" you made, so we want to chat with you."

Then, Otake Masaki talked a lot about his feelings for this movie, and naturally he highly praised it, including being very interested in the songs written by Yu Dongqing himself, he is simply a rare genius.

Yu Dongqing didn't say anything but smiled, the other party definitely didn't come to praise her.

Sure enough, when it came to interest, Dazhu Masaki suddenly changed the subject: "Mr. Yu, I saw a close-up shot of that camera in your video. I have a heartfelt request."

"Oh, please speak."

"Could you change it a little bit to take a picture of the camera's logo?"

Yu Dongqing didn't answer, but still looked at each other with a smile on her face.

Ichiro Yamamoto immediately said: "Of course, in order to show our company's support for Mr. Yu's creation, we are willing to pay 10 RMB."

What the hell!

One hundred thousand?

Yu Dongqing sneered in her heart and said nothing.

Yang Liu, who was standing by the side and listening to the conversation between the two, finally realized that the other party was planning to place an advertisement.

But think about it, it was shot with a Canon camera, and it won an award. Such a film is quite good for advertising, and it definitely attracts people's attention.

It's just that 10 RMB is a bit small, right?

Sure enough, Yu Dongqing smiled and said, thank you Mr. Yamamoto for your kindness, but I have no intention of changing the film.

"I think this is very good, if the LOGO is displayed, it will destroy the beauty of the picture."

but
Seeing that Yu Dongqing wasn't fooled, Masaki Dazhu went mad with anxiety.

"50, 50, how about it?"

Yu Dongqing still smiled, and suddenly said: "Dazhu Masaki, we met for the first time, why not find a place to drink tea and chat, as for these trivial matters, how about leaving it to the subordinates?"

Otake Masaki heard it.

The other party is still not satisfied!
This appetite is really big.
The first negotiation broke up badly.

After seeing off Dazhu and his party, Yang Liu looked at Yu Dongqing with admiration, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Mr. Yu, did you know that Canon would come to you when you used a Canon camera to shoot?"

Actually, Yang Liu thought too much.

At that time, Yu Dongqing used the Canon brand because he only had this camera in his hand.

However, in the original time and space, this microfilm was also rumored to be an advertising microfilm made by the director for Canon.

In the original time and space, although it was not shot with a Canon camera, the close-up shot of the camera in the movie clearly displayed the Canon LOGO!

But the director neither admitted nor denied it, and neither did Canon.

Yu Dongqing used a Canon camera when shooting, but deliberately removed the close-up of the LOGO!

Hehe
Of course, Yu Dongqing would not tell Yang Liu about these twists and turns, but only replied that she didn't expect so much at the time.

I just shoot and play.

This made the girl fall in admiration.

Just play and make an award-winning movie, and let Canon pay for advertising!
"Yang Liu, I'll leave this matter to you. From now on, you can directly talk to the representative of Canon." Yu Dongqing was most annoyed by these things.

"Then what's our minimum asking price?"

Yu Dongqing pondered for a while: "If they want to add a logo, at least 500 million! If they want to buy the copyright of the film, 1000 million!"

Oh my God.
Yang Liu was stunned.

so expensive?
"Don't worry about it so much. If the other party comes to you, you can offer this price. Otherwise, I will go back first." After speaking, Yu Dongqing turned and left the office.
