After the eldest lady had that ambiguous moment with Minakami Hayato, she seemed to be more sensitive to this matter. She always felt that Minakami Hayato had intentions for all women.
Although she had said this in the past, it was always justified. At least it was women whom Minato Hayato had enough opportunities to get close to, such as the actresses in the company and the idols from Nogizaka. But Da Tiantian and him were thousands of miles apart. The last road show was their only contact.
Faced with Fujiwara Nao's unfounded accusations, Minakami Hayato emphasized again and again, which finally made her reluctantly believe it.
"Okay, since you said so." The eldest lady nodded and said, "Then you can go out and make some announcements in the next two days to promote it."
"Do you want to be interviewed or on the show?"
"I don't even want to!" Mizuna Hayato protested loudly.
"Sengoku" didn't have its premiere here, just like "Rurouni Kenshin" didn't have its premiere there. Although he didn't see the finished product, he saw that the production team was very similar. At first they had the upper hand relying on their huge production costs and top-notch lineup, but once word of mouth spread, "Rurouni Kenshin" soon overtook the newcomers.
Minakami Hayato explained it this way, but of course the eldest lady didn't believe it. She just thought that he didn't want to work and fish, but Minakami Hayato also had his own countermeasures.
"Rather than trying our best to defeat her, wouldn't it be more effective if we didn't use any force at all and she fell?"
Mizuna Hayato once again used the skill of rhetoric and conducted many unfounded analyses, letting the young lady know that they don't need to work hard, Konoe Tamako's movie will collapse on its own.
Although Hayato Minakami's analysis has no basis and no evidence, Nao Fujiwara's rich imagination has already worked.
There was no promotion here, and the other side continued to increase investment. As a result, the other side collapsed immediately after the release. She could still make a face, and it was useless to mock her for improvising.
Sure enough, it's still more handsome like this.
Fujiwara Nao has already thought of the angle at which her smile will look more mocking.
Of course, the eldest lady is not blind to listen to Minato Hayato. If the current time is still a long time before the release, in this era where the smell of wine is afraid of the deep alleys, it will definitely not work without publicity, but now there are only a few days left before the release. , it won’t be too bad to give it a try.
"Of course, the promotion of this kind of thing mainly depends on the box office trend of our movie. After it is released, I will cooperate with the box office to participate in various publicity." Minakami Hayato said again.
After all, it is my own movie. The reason why I am not making random announcements at this time is because the forced confrontation with Konoe Tamako is high investment and the effect may not be very good. Now the atmosphere of "Rurouni Kenshin" VS "Sengoku" has been established, as long as the other side continues to promote , their names will definitely be mentioned, so there is no need to continue investing resources.
The best publicity opportunity is, of course, after the reputation of "Warring States" collapses.
Minato Hayato is looking forward to that day.
...
Soon, time moved forward little by little. On the night of December 31, 2011, many people still went to the square and downtown to celebrate the New Year. Many people also came to the cinema, waiting for the release of the first movie of the New Year.
In the past New Year's Eve, Hayato Minato basically went home to spend time with his family. One time he spent New Year's Eve with Kyoko Fukada, and he was photographed walking his dog the next day.
This year is interesting. The movie he directed was released, and I don’t know how many people paid attention to it. There were three people who wanted to spend New Year’s Eve with him on the pretext of watching the movie together, and the rest even if they didn’t say it directly, they sent messages. Full of hints.
Special days like today are the most difficult problems for time management masters to overcome.
If the person hinting does not take the initiative to make the request, then even if he does not accept the hint, it is not considered a rejection. On the contrary, if he proposes to watch it together in the next few days, he can "turn the guest first" and take the initiative in his own hands...
So Minato Hayato eliminated those names first, arranged a time management plan according to his work schedule, and extended invitations to them.
Kyoko Fukada, Erika Toda, Nanao...
Hayato Minazin looked at the remaining three names, and Nanao could rule them out first. According to her special attributes, rather than agreeing, maybe his direct rejection would make her happier.
"Kyoko and Erika~" Hayato Minakami thought for a while, and finally agreed to Kyoko Fukada's invitation, and told Erika Toda that he was busy with work and would make an appointment another day.
It’s not that Fukada Kyoko is more serious about Minato Hayato. It’s just that as the starring role, Fukada Kyoko has already seen it. If she invites him this time, she must be drunk instead of drinking. Plus, she might bring Nagasawa Masami with her. ...
"That's it!" Looking at the time management schedule for the New Year, Hayato Mizuna nodded with satisfaction.
Speaking of which, there are already so many people on his boat. Even an experienced time management master is increasingly facing difficult decisions. Should he control himself and avoid hooking up with others?
Minato Hayato thought about this question seriously, and then laughed to himself.
How is that possible?
"I do have a sense of humor," he thought.
...
"Hey!" Erika Toda looked at the message on her phone and shouted exaggeratedly: "Hayato-kun said he had a job and couldn't come, gakki!"
Yui Aragaki glanced at her mobile phone and said, "I told you a long time ago, I will definitely not have time to make an appointment with him today."
"I'm sorry, gakki, it was my mistake." Erika Toda pursed her lips.
"You, why are you saying sorry to me?"
"I'll help you ask him out next time."
"What help me!"
"Ah, he said he would be free in the next few days! Gakki, let's see when you can."
"My word..." Yui Aragaki leaned over to look at her phone, and then looked up to see Erika Toda snickering.
"..." Yui Aragaki was silent for a moment, then turned around and left.
"Wrong, wrong, gakki, don't leave." Toda Erika quickly grabbed her.
...
On the other side, Mizuna Hayato had already changed his clothes and came to the cinema for his appointment.
It's not often that two new movies are released on New Year's Eve, but everyone obviously doesn't get used to it. Just like the lively atmosphere on the streets, the cinema is also full of bustling people.
This movie theater has an ordinary movie hall and a private box-type private movie theater. Naturally, Minato Hayato and the others chose the latter.
"Kyoko~" Hayato Minakami entered the waiting area and saw a familiar figure.
"You're here." Kyoko Fukada looked at him with a smile. Even though she was wearing a mask, she could feel the joy coming from it.
"Yes." Mizuno Hayato nodded and looked around: "Where's Ma-chan?"
"Ma-chan? You're not here." Kyoko Fukada replied.
