444. Unreliable

Watanabe Manyumi came over at about the same time as him.

Monday, Iwahashi Shinichi thought about her and could guess what she was like.

When I saw her, Shinichi Iwahashi joked: "I was stoked by your appetite for a whole day."

Watanabe Manyumi was calm and joked with him, "Isn't this satisfying her appetite right away?" Saying this in the restaurant was a pun.

Shinichi Iwahashi felt happy, picked up the menu, and said with a smile: "When I went to Shinocho's recording studio this afternoon, Miwa-chan and Nakamura Sang were arguing."

"Yeah?"

"Today I'm going to make a sample. Miwa-chan brought a cappella tape over. After listening to it, Kuang Nakamura said, 'What kind of strange song is this?', she's so popular."

Shinichi Iwahashi remembered the smell of gunpowder in the recording studio when he was in the past, and deeply suspected that Nakamura brothers and Miwachan had already scolded each other for "Baguyalu".

"I heard how gloating." Wanmei Watanabe said to him.

"Where do you think?" Iwahashi Shinichi defended himself, "On the contrary, as soon as I passed, Nakamura Sang threw the tape to me like he was relieved."

"Then?" She was a little curious.

Shinichi Iwahashi showed a smile or not, "While listening to the tape, I thought to myself, what strange song is this?"

"Haha!" Watanabe Manyumi couldn't help laughing.

But that's the truth. Miwa-chan, who composing by singing a cappella, can take out such a tape that she feels good about herself at no cost, but the person who listens to the tape is confused.

...

The order was brought up, and the two of them ate and chatted. After talking for a while, the topic finally turned to the thing they were talking on the phone.

Shinichi Iwahashi asked her, "Why did you think of making a movie? Or adapting it." He really couldn't understand this idea of ​​Watanabe Manyumi.

It's okay to have a booming industry, but making movies is obviously not a good idea.

After the golden age of the 1960s, the entire Japanese film market began to fall in Wang Xiaoer's New Year style every year.

Japan, which achieved national poverty alleviation in 1955, was one of the richest countries in the world by the 1970s. In society, the saying "100 million middle classes" is common sense.

However, while being rich, fewer and fewer people are willing to go to the cinema.

The impact of the popularity of TVs is an important reason. In addition, because of the high amount of money in your pocket, the entertainment methods are becoming more and more abundant while the society is developing. Since you can choose something more interesting, the attractiveness of movies will naturally decrease.

In addition, while the society is developing, what kind of film themes can interest the audience has become a question that filmmakers need to rethink.

Young people in the bubble era will never understand the pure love plot of the 1960s.

In the sluggish film market, the big film companies that monopolized the distribution and release of movies in the 1950s and 1960s sold their cinemas and disbanded their own studios in order to cope with the increasingly sluggish market.

After staying away from high-risk film production, we used our huge distribution network to release movies for film production companies.

When these old hooligans (crossed out) were produced and distributed together, it was extremely difficult for independent film companies to release their cinemas online, so independent directors have a very narrow living space.

Now, they have changed their strategies, which has greatly reduced the threshold for movie distribution, and movies that were only released on a small scale can also enter their cooperative theaters.

On the other hand, because the threshold is lowered, no matter whoever is a person, as long as he can make money from making a movie, he can enter the market, including Manumi Watanabe, who is planning to make a movie now.

Such a low threshold has caused the market to pour in a large number of movies of worry-produced quality. The audience is like playing minesweeping, and the movie viewing experience has been greatly reduced, so they are reluctant to try new movies. Such a vicious cycle has made fewer and fewer people enter the cinema.

Besides, the times have changed, and there are as many elements that can represent young people's culture as there are. Movies that have already begun to be discounted in entertainment have lost their cultural competitiveness and are naturally abandoned by young people.

Why emphasize being abandoned by young people? It is impossible to count on office workers or housewives to be the main force in the box office.

These problems are not just one by one, but are linked one by one, and the direction is inevitable.

Among them are both the structure of the film industry, the audience, and the times. In short, combined with various factors, the film market is a depressed fact.

Even if it is the golden age of the economy, the wealthy consortiums are more willing to invest in foreign movies than to invest in local movies that are half-dead.

In the prosperous era of society, movies are a scene of the dusk industry. Many people in the film industry can’t afford to eat because they rely on movies, so they can only join the TV station and join the TV industry.

In such an environment, Watanabe Manyumi is preparing to make a movie, and it is difficult for Shinichi Iwahashi not to doubt it. Some things can be reversed by their minds, but some things have no choice.

...

Shinichi Iwahashi was not optimistic about this matter. Wanyumi Watanabe knew it and thought it was reasonable. Even if she made this plan, she would have a little gambling intention.

"It's okay to say it's a whim, but it's not really a whim." She seemed to be talking about tongue twisters. "Sometimes ago, a college classmate who is now engaged in publishing told me that I've been in the limelight recently, so I recommend that I go and take a look."

"It's a recommendation, and the recommendation is also very interesting."

Wanyumi Watanabe recalled, "She said that the structure is so loose, lacks themes, and does not look like a tradition. However, because it is easy to read, you can read to the end without any obstacles. However, in the process of this entry, you will naturally find the subtleties."

"It sounds so lingering." Shinichi Iwahashi frowned.

Speaking of Japan (family), he could think of Keigo Higashino who was very productive, but buying his books was like mine-sweeping, and he stepped on it. Miyuki Miyabe, who likes to write three-book-style large-scale fraudulent manuscripts, and Kiyoshi Matsumoto, who has a subtle prejudice against the Phoenix man.

If it is not enough, plus a magnificent use of metaphorical rhetoric is extremely gorgeous. If he is not always so gorgeous, it is just reading Shinichi Iwahashi's impression of this book by Shinichi Iwahashi who only read "The Forest of Norway".

So, what did Watanabe Manyumi say?

"I felt inexplicably surprised when I listened to this recommendation." She also admitted, "But after really going to see it, I felt that she was not wrong." 85

When Watanabe Manyumi said this, she took her handbag over, took out a thin little book from it, and put it on the table, "I brought one here to see how it's going?"

Shinichi Iwahashi recited the title of the cover, ""Kitchen"?"

I remembered something and laughed at me, "No wonder you said it is very suitable for chatting while eating."

"That's what it means." Watanabe Manyumi smiled, "It's not delicious food."

Shinichi Iwahashi picked up the book, "The author is called Yoshibe Banana..." He used the Japanese reserves that were not rich in his mind, and could not remember that he had heard of this name.

"I am a new literary newcomer who just debuted." Wanyumi Watanabe introduced, "The Kitchen is her first film. She won the Haiyan New Human Literature Award, which attracted the attention of the world and even printed it, becoming a topical work, and was nominated for the Izumi Mitsuki Literature Award. It can be said that it is a future star that has become famous in a book and is now highly anticipated by the industry."

Shinichi Iwahashi heard her introduction and said, "It's quite amazing."

I’m really saying that she is amazing. After all, she won awards and best-selling when she debuted. This starting point is definitely not low. But on the other hand, because she has no impression of the name itself, she still thought to herself, is this a real big shot or a flash in the pan?

"This is a collection of three short stories, "The Kitchen", its sequel "Full Moon", and a separate "Moon Shadow". "Manmi Watanabe told him, "It's not long and you'll be able to finish it soon."

"When I was there, the image of Izumi Namura suddenly appeared in my heart. I tried to bring it in. I felt that the 'unreliable' temperament in Izumi Namura was subtly in tune with the heroine inside."

"So, I came up with this idea, and took down the movie's adaptation rights and made it into a movie."

"unreliable?"

Shinichi Iwahashi didn't open it and put it back on the table, "I'll go back and watch it." He said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "When I heard you say you wanted to make a movie on the phone, I really felt 'unreliable'."

"Indeed, it's quite unreliable." Wanmei Watanabe admitted frankly.

"But, you have to take pictures if you can't rely on it." Shinichi Iwahashi knew it. He turned around, "I'll take it back and answer my thoughts after reading it. Is it OK?"

"This is natural." Manyumi Watanabe replied.

"However, if you really make a movie and let Zard sing the theme song of the movie, this idea is pretty good." Shinichi Iwahashi said, "Every time the movie is played, it is a promotion."

"Before the TV appeared, songs became popular in radio and cinemas." Watanabe Manyumi said this, which means she was clear about the bad state of the film market.

Even so, I still have to make this movie.

Shinichi Iwahashi didn't answer this and mentioned another thing, "When it comes to zard, I'm going to Karuizawa tomorrow to take a look."

"Is that so? Thank you for your hard work." Watanabe Manyumi naturally took over the topic and asked about the band.

I just stopped about the movie.

...

The meal was also delicious. After the meal, the two said goodbye and went back to their respective homes.

Shinichi Iwahashi brought back the book "The Kitchen" given by Wanyumi Watanabe. It was a thin book that was more than enough to read in one night. However, when he thought that he would go to Karuizawa tomorrow, he didn't open it and planned to save it to spend time on the road tomorrow to read it.

The resort of Karuizawa is very popular among Tokyo people. Even the locust room also has a holiday palace here.

Tokyoites like to go to diligent places, and public transportation is developed. However, in order to facilitate movement, the next day, the driver drove Iwahashi Shinichi to Karuizawa.

The driver was his clerk at the record company and he temporarily served as his driver.

Although the president of a record company that has just been established and has not yet achieved success, although he has been blessed with the times and has a presidential car when the company is ready to go in and out, his efforts are far from enough to be equipped with a full-time driver.

The journey from Tokyo to Karuizawa is not too far, and this book "Kitchen" is indeed as short as what Manyumi Watanabe said. He had already read it before he even arrived in Karuizawa.

Two articles "The Kitchen" describe a girl whose parents died since childhood and who was dependent on each other. During college, her only relative, grandmother, also died. She became an orphan and could only stay in the kitchen to fall asleep.

One day, a boy who worked in a flower shop that her grandmother often visited came to her and invited her to live in her home. So the girl moved to his house and lived with the boy and his transgender mother.

As we get along day after day, the girl finally got out of loneliness and started a new life. Then, a big turning point was that the boy's transgender mother died and the boy became orphans.

The girl who was helped by the boy and his mother came to the boy again. After something happened, the two finally decided to get together.

It seems so boring to summarize it simply.

However, when reading this article, Shinichi Iwahashi still believed that this book has its special charm. Not only that, he also realized what Manyumi Watanabe said, "The heroine has a subtle fit between the temperament of Inamura Izumi."

The heroine in the room is such a person with an "unreliable" temperament. She pays attention to her heart, but does not care about the things around her. She feels that she can get close to her, but she cannot really get close to her.

Or it should be said that he is a very typical young man of this era. After reading it, Shin Iwahashi repeatedly thought about Watanabe Manyumi's evaluation of Inamura Izumi, and he could understand why this book was so popular.

One era has another era of literature.

However, although my evaluation of this book is pretty good in my heart, Shinichi Iwahashi first grasps one point when summarizing the plot in my heart.

That is, although it is easy to read, it can really be made into a movie?

...

This question must be kept until after returning to Tokyo, and discussed with Watanabe Manumi. After knowing what he knew, Shinichi Iwahashi was attentive and could continue to talk to her in-depth.

Today is weekdays, not a golden period for vacations, and there are not many people on Karuizawa's roads.

Shinichi Iwahashi returned to Karuizawa for the first time, and he felt a little tourist-like mentality. When a driver was driving, he first took a leisurely view of the street view outside the window.

The car drove in the quiet woods and stopped in front of a Western-style villa.

"Iwahashi Sang, it has arrived." The driver told him.
