From the oil crisis to the bursting of the bubble, it was an era when the Japanese still had desires.

The explosive planning of variety shows, where they will do anything for ratings, is called (sex) liberation. In addition to being unrestrained in society, the same is true in schools. During physical education classes, students will also be naked in open areas. Hold a towel on your upper body to dry your sweat.

It was in such an era that there were basically no so-called social restrictions in later generations. Some people would smoke in the tram, and some would let children who were in urgent need of urination pee at the junction of the tram, and you would even see people spitting on the street.

Toru Muranishi is a man full of Showa feelings. He talks about using "astringent feelings to change the world", but in fact he uses it to madly pursue fame and fortune, and finally falls into an absurd situation.

"Is it obscene to take pictures of human beings in their most primitive form?"

Hearing this sentence from Toru Muranishi, many people will find it very interesting and profound. But why does he want to photograph the most primitive appearance of human beings? In the final analysis, it is for money.

This man was released from prison in 1984 and founded Crystal Imaging Company. In order to save money and effort, he took on multiple roles including director, camera crew, etc. After figuring out the shooting rules, he began to try to write his own scripts and created many Weird plot.

However, even though the new film dominated the video store's promotion boards soon after its release, the quantity of films he set for himself was too large. In order to save costs, he had to use inferior production materials. In addition, the plot was difficult to understand. , many people gave negative reviews after watching the video, which put Crystal Image in an embarrassing danger.

After a short period of dormancy, a woman completely changed Muranishi Toru's life.

She is Hei Muxiang

The video directed and acted by the two became very popular as soon as it was released. The rough and crazy style in the film is unparalleled in Japan. Everyone who rented or bought this video had trouble falling asleep at night, and it was full of aftertaste. Yes. It is said that just overnight, Kuroki and Toru Muranishi became famous and became a hit.

Speaking of which, Toru Muranishi is doing the same thing as the entertainment industry, which is selling happiness. It’s just that his approach is more original and utilitarian.

Desires that are despised by the world are just like spiritual carnal desires. The spirit cannot generate the body, so it is replaced by the most primitive desires. When immersed in the video tape, office workers become more or less human.

"How about buying a box and taking it back to Roppongi?" Narita Masaru broke away from his thoughts and said with a smile.

"Instead of using this money to buy a video tape, why not buy a photo album of Kikuchi Momoko-chan."

"That's true," Narita Katsu nodded, and then said: "Toshi-kun can choose a copy of Momo-chan's latest photo album, and I'll pay for it. But before that, I want to meet Toru Muranishi, can you bring him over? ”

Koike Min has known for a long time that Narita Katsu would not give him a photo album for free, and he has already prepared it in his heart. It is not a troublesome thing to find someone. Even if the crystal image is hidden in a corner, as long as he pays enough money, someone will be willing to take it.

He passed.

While waiting for Koike Satoshi, Narita Masaru sat in a cafe to rest with a book called "City-pop Genre Guide".

He has no ill intentions toward Toru Muranishi, but he can't say he likes him. People who are so arrogant that they don't know the heights of the sky can easily fall from the clouds, and also involve many people. The reason why they want to meet him immediately is,

Narita Katsu also wanted to see if there was any possibility of cooperation. If not, it would be no wonder that he used tough methods.

Xiaochi Min came back after a long absence. The man who was neither tall nor short, but a little fat, came over reluctantly. His expression looked like he had been beaten by someone. He was pitiful and aggrieved, but he

His eyes were bulging and he was trying hard to maintain his remaining dignity, which looked very funny.

"Is this Muranishi-san?" Narita Masaru stood up and stretched out his right hand.

But Toru Muranishi sat down and made no secret of his contempt and hostility towards Narita Masaru.

Narita Masaru kept smiling, wiped his right hand, and sat opposite Muranishi Toru.

"Muranishi-san's videos have been selling very well recently, and you have helped the video store in Kabukicho make a lot of money. Speaking of which, I have to thank you very much."

Muranishi Toru squinted his eyes and frowned, so arrogant that people couldn't help laughing.

"You are Narita-san from Roppongi. If you have anything to say, please tell me." Toru Muranishi has a strange acting style. He says whatever comes to his mind and does whatever he wants. But he also has a soft side and is afraid of the tough. Seeing the man sitting opposite him

The man is tall and tall, and there are several Yakuza as followers behind him. He cannot be stubborn, but he insists on maintaining his arrogance.

"You are very suitable for doing business. I thought about it and asked you, is there any possibility of cooperation between us? Do you need my help?"

When the word cooperation is mentioned, Toru Muranishi's eyes light up, as weird as a frog waiting for a fat fly to pass by.

"You said you want to help me? What price do I have to pay?"

Narita Sheng withdrew his polite smile and said seriously: "The size of the price depends on you, the key is not on me. Of course I hope you can earn as much as possible for me. In that case, Muranishi-san will naturally not be able to bear it.

A price that cannot be paid."

Toru Muranishi is very short of money now. During this period, he has arranged a large shipment volume for himself. On average, he will release a new film in one or two days. However, the profits from selling video tapes cannot be recovered so quickly. This has caused Crystal Imaging Company to

There is a big problem with cash flow.

He was silent for a while, and then gave Narita Masaru the expected answer. He raised two fingers.

"Two hundred million, it cannot be less than this number."

"Two hundred million? Two hundred million..." Narita Masaru muttered to himself, but no one could see what he was thinking.

"On an equal basis, if I give 200 million, what can Cun Xisang give me? In other words, what are you willing to give me?"

"What should I give you?" Muranishi Toru calmly doubted, "Narita-san doesn't seem like a person who can forget about money. If he had the ability to forget, he wouldn't think about it so much at the beginning. Some people will first forget their purpose.

Forget behavior, so everyone who wants to discuss cooperation with me is fat and rosy."

Narita Masaru couldn't help but applaud, "What a convincing theory. You use riddle-like criticism to find the shortcomings in me. But don't forget, whether it is Muranishi-san who conquered the world with 'Shibuharu', or I

This layman who doesn’t understand art, we are all essentially the same, we are all businessmen.

You should know that accepting my funding will be of great help to you to get out of trouble. After all, Poseidon Pictures is a giant in your industry. Without me, your life will be even more difficult. Who knows how they will crowd out Crystal Image

?After taking the stake, I don’t want much. Let me control the company’s operations. Muranishi-san will concentrate on filming and leave other things to me. That’s all.”

It has to be said that Toru Muranishi is so ambitious and arrogant that he doesn’t take everyone seriously. This is not only his shining talent, but also his biggest weakness that caused him to quickly fall into the abyss after his peak.

Narita Masaru did not insist on whether Toru Muranishi was willing to cooperate or not. Similarly, he was also looking for opportunities to develop and grow. However, in a golden era like the end of the Showa era, Muranishi Toru was not as attractive as he imagined.

In fact, the video tapes of the 1980s, whether they are pink movies or shoddy adult video tapes, are not up to standard aesthetics in terms of production, technology, and even plot. More than ten years later, the resolution after watching them is even better.

High-end viewers can't stand that kind of plastic picture quality.

"Sorry, I will not accept your funding. The choice is in my hands, because I can decide my own future, so I am freer than anyone else!" Toru Muranishi retorted angrily.

"I understand your thoughts, and I respect your choice. However, you chose freedom and chose to shoot the works you like, and this also comes at a price." Narita Masaru continued:

"One-third of the video stores in Kabukicho are in my hands. After your works were rented and returned, they received negative reviews. In this case, I will not keep them in the bulletin board, as that will destroy me.

reputation. Therefore, tomorrow I will arrange for all Crystal Image videos to be removed from the shelves."

Toru Muranishi first typed up his draft and looked plausible. But the next second, he became at a loss, and his face that lost color showed a shy and frightened look.

Accept or reject, the two have almost the same meaning.

After a while, he returned to his previous arrogant expression, although this majesty was shattered with one blow, "The rules set by fools only need to be broken through with creativity."

Now that the matter has come to this, there is no need for the two of them to sit down and talk.

"That's very nice of you, Koike-san, see you off." Narita Masaru withdrew his gaze, opened the "City-pop Genre Guide", and continued reading the previous page.

He is not the fat, rosy-faced "chairman" Muranishi Tetsu calls him, but Muranishi Tetsu is unwilling to let go of his worthless dignity. Naturally, Narita Katsu has no reason to raise an ungrateful person who eats for free.
