Nanaya knew exactly what kind of trailer the woman in front of him wanted him to edit.
Most likely it's the comparison between A card and N card.
Play a trailer for the Fox version of "Dragon Ball", and then play a trailer for the Shueisha version of "Dragon Ball" theatrical version.
Your Fox produces campus youth movies, and we at Washimine release hot-blooded fighting animations.
You use third-rate love and pretentious fighting to fool the audience, but what we show here is naturally a fist-to-flesh philosophical duel.
only...
Nanaya asked with a twitching mouth: "Is this kind of thing really okay? Shouldn't the Advertising Law prohibit it?"
Advertising competition laws in Europe and the United States have long banned related practices.
Such blatant promotional methods that compare and despise other companies' products are likely to be banned from broadcasting.
Sega used this marketing model when it was fighting against Washimine in the handheld game console war.
In that advertisement, Sega unpretentiously took out Washimine's GB as a model and mocked it.
Nanaya still remembers the scene where he hit himself on the head with a stick just to make the GB image look in color.
However, Sega dared to do this back then because there was no relevant anti-unfair competition law in advertising at that time.
Now, none of Sony, Microsoft and Washimine dare to do this in advertising and marketing.
"Don't say that."
Shion was rolling noodles nonchalantly with her right hand, her eyes fixed on Nanaya.
"Laws can be circumvented if you really want to. Otherwise, is it like we are just feeding so many people in our legal department like animals?"
[Don't say such a horrible thing with a smile on your face! ]
Nanaya's smile began to gradually stiffen.
"Don't worry, just do what you are supposed to do, I will take care of the rest."
Shion said as she handed the fork with rolled pasta to Nanaya, while her other hand was holding it downward.
"Come on~Open your mouth~Ah~~~"
"I understand..."
Nanaya ignored the envious look from a passerby in a suit at the next table and opened his mouth to take the food that Shion handed to him.
[Kid, look at that. Haven't you seen a couple feeding each other before? ]
Nanaya glared back with contempt.
Then, the gaze from the table became even hotter.
[The look in his eyes confirmed that he was on duty in the FFF group. ]
Nanaya thought so while eating noodles with peace of mind.
Since I can afford to eat at a Michelin three-star restaurant, but I can't find a partner to accompany me.
Nanaya thought that the young man was destined to serve in the group only for the rest of his life.
Shion was very satisfied with Nanaya's well-behaved behavior just now. She fiddled with the fork in her hand with a smile.
"Yoshi, Yoshi. Very good~"
[Do you think of me as your little puppy? ]
Nanaya was chewing Shion's creamy pasta, not knowing what expression to put on his face.
[Forget it, I just need to be in charge of editing.]
Nanaya thought back to his previous life in 2019, when Burger King had released an advertisement dissing the Big Mac burger from McDonald's next door.
I think similar things can be done if one is willing.
Under Shion's feeding, Nanaya could only change the subject: "Is this all you plan to do about the recent events in Fox?"
"How is that possible? And this isn't recent, is it?"
Shion wrinkled her little nose, making a move that Nanaya found very cute.
"What's that look in your eyes?" Shion said with disdain, "Have you forgotten that Fox's movie won't be released until around 2009?"
"Really…"
Nanaya slapped his forehead, he had almost forgotten about this.
It is actually a good thing for Shueisha that "Dragon Ball" will not be released so soon.
At least they still have enough time to polish their theatrical version and make it more refined.
You have to know that the time when "Dragon Ball" had one theatrical version per year has long passed.
Since the release of Dragon Ball's last theatrical version "The Strongest Way" in 1996, it has been 11 years since Dragon Ball released a new movie.
Time is the best catalyst for the fermentation of things like [sentiments].
Nanaya believes that when Shueisha releases this movie, it will surely cause a large number of new and old Dragon Ball fans to cheer enthusiastically.
But back to Fox...
"Do you have any other tricks for Fox?"
Nanaya was halfway through his words when Shion stuffed a small piece of broccoli into his mouth.
"Don't say such harsh words. Can what your woman does be called a trick?"
[Why not? Who do you think this nickname, [Fox of Washimine], refers to? ]
Although Nanaya really wanted to refute.
But considering that Shion might poke his tongue with a fork next time, he didn't say it out loud.
"Actually, I have thought carefully about what you said before."
Shion said with a smile.
"What's up?"
Nanaya and Shion had talked about so many things that he really didn't know what Shion was referring to.
"About putting Fox out of business."
"???"
After hearing what Shion said, Nanaya immediately wanted to slap a set of three emoticons in Shion's face: [I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense].
"Didn't you say this before? Use all kinds of failed projects to lock up Fox. If it goes well, can't you just shut down Fox?"
Shion said as she wiped her mouth with a napkin.
"Well...but most of Fox's funds have been concentrated on Avatar..."
"Just find a way to make them take the bait." Shion sneered, "I know that kid's character. He's arrogant, self-willed, and very eager to prove himself."
Nanaya knew who "that boy" Shion was talking about. It can only be said that women's ability to hold grudges is really terrifying.
"Are you thinking about something bad?"
"Of course not!"
Nanaya replied immediately. He didn't want to become the object of Shion's hatred.
Although it's unlikely that Shion would treat him the same way she treated little Murdoch.
But what if she wants to do something exciting before going to bed at night?
It is better to use candles for lighting.
Nanaya rubbed his hands and asked in a flattering tone: "Then what are you going to do, Your Highness Shion? Make 'that kid' die faster?"
In order to allow Shion to divert his firepower as quickly as possible, Nanaya had to work hard to fill the grave of the little Murdoch, whom he had never met.
"Of course, it's to lure that guy into taking the bait."
Shion said proudly, "What if several large projects ran into problems when Fox was focusing on investing in Avatar?"
"But hasn't Fox planned any large-scale investment projects in the past two years?"
"Tsk, tsk, Nanaya, you didn't listen carefully just now."
Shion swung her finger and said confidently, "I know Murdoch. If there is a project that looks very likely to make money, he will definitely be tempted."
"But even though he's tempted, he probably won't take action, right?"
Nanaya reminded as he sipped his cocktail.
With the big project of "Avatar" in hand, Nanaya doesn't think anyone would choose to take risks.
Even if Murdoch Jr. is in over his head, other senior executives of Fox should be able to see the hidden crisis.
You have to know that Fox has suffered this loss before. The "Cleopatra" that made them lose money in the last century is the most vivid example.
As a company with a long history, its experience is its most noble wealth.
While this makes these companies more conservative, it also makes them less likely to make mistakes.
Shion obviously agreed with Nanaya's opinion.
"Under normal circumstances, it is indeed impossible. However..."
Shion opened her folding fan with a snap.
"What if I get kicked out?"
Shion sneered sinisterly.
"Washimine and Fox are competitors. If we want to get these projects..."
Nanaya probably understood what Shion meant.
It's a very simple scam. If a single project was placed in front of Fox, they would certainly be able to resist it.
But if it is a project that several film companies are vying for, Fox may not be able to hold back.
"How much room for maneuver?"
Nanaya also began to think about the feasibility of Shion's idea.
Of course I like to see Fox get humiliated.
Not to mention that Nanaya has been coveting the copyright of X-Men for a long time.
Young Murdoch dared to compete with his woman, which was an act worthy of death.
Therefore, if Shion's plan is really feasible, Nanaya will certainly fully support it.
"As long as I take advantage of that kid's competitive mentality towards me, I'm sure I can make him take the bait."
Shion said proudly.
"The production time intervals of these films need to be controlled. It would be best if these potential projects could be concentrated at the same time."
Nanaya pounded on the table and said, "Even if it's impossible, the first 'bomb' should be detonated at least after all these potential risk projects have been put into production."
Otherwise, if a project goes wrong, Fox will pull its hands back.
If it's just a matter of breaking the bones, it won't achieve the effect that Shion and Nanaya want.
"That kid's character is typical of someone who won't turn back until he hits a wall."
Shion waved her hands and said, "Old Murdoch spent five years trying to get this guy to surrender."
"Besides," Shion added, "after a large-scale film project is launched, aren't we usually forced to see it through to the end? You taught me that."
"Yes."
Nanaya nodded.
This stubbornness is a problem that all film companies have.
"We can also leverage other companies that are also part of the Big Six."
The Big Six in Hollywood have never been a monolithic entity, and there is an opportunity to turn the Big Six into the Big Five.
Those guys would never miss an opportunity to kick someone when they're down.
From United Artists to MGM, which ones weren't the ones that stabbed the hardest?
History has long proven this.
"So, Nanaya."
Shion opened her arms and made a gesture as if to hug him.
"Use your invincible intuition to filter out the movies that are likely to flop."
