Yakuza boss, Asakichi of Yao, appears on a film-set. The director borrowed money from Asakichi for the filming of this movie and is behind on the interest payments. Asakichi urges him to repay. The director tells him that the film has no distribution and he is unsure whether he can pay the staff's salaries. The staff on the site freeze. The boss is furious at the director, telling him that film is art, but the actors depend on it for their livelihoods, and says he will direct the film himself. For the yakuza boss making a movie has been his dream since he was in juvenile detention. The director reluctantly handed over the directing role to the boss, and after kneeling down to not be taken off the site, he takes on the role of assistant director. First, he makes them throw away the script, and tells them that from now on, everything will be improvised. The plot changes more and more from the original plan, and filming continues, even as things get chaotic. The yakuza boss is always searching for new content to surprise the audience. He is also concerned about the exhausted staff. This man who seems unlike any other yakuza boss, harbors painful memories...

Reviews
unhinged explicit comedy movie
Overall: this is a Japanese pink film (i.e. it has a few extremely explicit scenes in it). The plot was....something. I think they were going for comedy but it wasn't my style of comedy. Aired in 2024 on GagaOOLala https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/4644/hard-business-2018Content Warnings: a few major ones though I wasn't 100% sure what was fictional filming and what actually happened
