Because he would not start the signing event until he finished participating in the TV program, Huo Yaowen took Wen Yingguang, Qingxia, Hu Yinmeng and others to Toho Co., Ltd. in western Tokyo early the next morning.

Toho Co., Ltd. was founded in 1932 as a theater company, and later gradually began to enter the field of film as it became popular. Now it has gradually developed into the first of the five major film companies in Japan and the film company with the largest number of theaters in Japan.

A few months ago, when the "1999" movie was not yet made, Huo Yaowen wanted to use Golden Harvest's channels in Japan to distribute the film, and the film club that Zou Wenhuai cooperated with in Japan was not Toho, but the equally famous Toei Co., Ltd.

Later, Kodansha invited him to Japan to hold a book signing, and Huo Yaowen also asked Kodansha people to help contact large theaters, and President Matsumoto saw this, so he helped contact Toho.

In fact, Matsumoto didn't help much, since the "1999", a sci-fi production with an investment of more than 40 million US dollars, began filming in the United States, Toho Co., Ltd. has paid attention, on the one hand, because the film has a huge investment, not only in the United States, but also in the world, many people in the film industry have paid attention, some people ridiculed this is another "Cleopatra" created by 20th Century Fox, but the story has changed from the past to the future!

Some people also think that this is a super sci-fi blockbuster.

Of course, before the movie is released, no one can guarantee that this movie will be a big hit, or hit the street like "Cleopatra"!

The other is the huge sales of the original book "1999" in Japan.

In Japan, there are very few works adapted into movies that hit the box office, let alone the sci-fi masterpiece "1999", which broke the Japanese sales list.

So when Matsumoto contacted Toho Kaisha, they attached great importance to it, and immediately sent someone to Hong Kong to discuss the specific release situation with Wen Yingguang, and even gave a lot of theater schedules.

"Mr. Huo welcomes you to our Dongbao Club!"

Sukeguma Murakami, the distribution manager of Toho Co., Ltd., stretched out his hand and greeted him warmly.

Huo Yaowen shook hands and said politely: "It is my honor to visit Japan's largest film company, Mr. Murakami." ”

"Mr. Huo, you are too polite, this time we have a strong cooperation, I believe that it will be very high at the box office in Japan!"

It stands to reason that Toho Co., Ltd., as the largest film company in Japan, and Sukekuma Murakami is the manager of the theatrical distribution department, unlike Chairman Matsumoto of Kodansha, there is no need for him to compliment Huo Yaowen so much, after all, the two are in different fields, and it is difficult to have any communication.

But who asked Huo Yaowen to cooperate with Fox, one of the six major film companies in the United States, on a super blockbuster with a value of up to 40 million US dollars, the president of Dongbao Club, including those directors, very much hopes to take this opportunity to have a good relationship with Huo Yaowen, so as to prepare for entering Hollywood in the United States in the future.

"I hope so. ”

Murakami Sukexiong turned around and shook hands with Wen Yingguang and said, "Mr. Wen, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

The two had already met more than a month ago, when Murakami came to Hong Kong to talk about the release of "1999" in Japan.

Wen Yingguang smiled, "Mr. Murakami, I'm sorry for you this time." ”

"Yes, Mr. Wen. ”

The group entered Toho Co., Ltd.'s headquarters in Tokyo, first toured the company, and then went up to the conference room on the third floor to talk about distribution work in Japan.

After entering the conference room and everyone sat down, Huo Yaowen pointed to Qingxia who was a little restrained next to him and said, "Mr. Murakami, these people must be a little familiar." ”

"Of course!"

Murakami nodded and said with a smile: "I have seen the sample film of "1999", and these three are all Hong Kong actors, and their performances in the movie are very good. ”

As one of the few Asian faces in the movie, Murakami recognized him just outside, but these three were not big stars in Japan, and they were almost not famous at all, so they didn't take the initiative to talk.

"I know that your society will be promoting "1999" on TV next, so I think your company can arrange for the three of them to do some interviews, because if "1999" is going to make a sequel, the three of them will be the protagonists. ”

Huo Yaowen said very directly, that is, he wanted the people of Dongbao Club to arrange for Qingxia to show their faces in Japan.

Murakami Sukekuma looked surprised and said, "What! Mr. Huo, do you have plans to shoot a sequel to the movie now?!"

"Yes, in fact, I agreed with Fox early on to shoot the 1999 Trilogy, and although the film has not yet been released, we are already preparing for the second part. Huo Yaowen's face was not red and he lied without breathing.

There is indeed a trilogy, but it depends on how the box office of the first part is, if the box office is good, there will naturally be the second and third parts, and even the fourth and fifth parts, but once it fails, then hehe.

……

On September 5th, at 9 o'clock in the morning, Tokyo Fuji TV was in the studio of a temporary special program in the evening.

In the dressing room, Teresa Teng thanked her sincerely, "Mr. Huo thanked you this time!"

Huo Yaowen waved his hand and smiled nonchalantly, "You're welcome, Miss Deng, it's not the first time we've met, this little favor is nothing, and besides, I want you to help act as a translator next." ”

After returning to the hotel from Toho Club yesterday afternoon, he was still a little surprised when he first saw Teresa Teng, and then heard that the other party was about to release his second single album in Japan recently, and he also readily agreed to Teresa Teng's request to participate in the TV show together.

"Anyway, thank you Mr. Huo, if the second single still doesn't work, I'm afraid I'll have to go back to Taiwan. ”

Teresa Teng knew that Huo Yaowen was taking care of her face, and she was very grateful.

Speaking of which, now Hong Kong and Taiwan singers generally aim at Japan, not just Hari, but simply for the sake of sales, you must know that the largest genuine market for Asian records is in Japan.

Moreover, the 70s and 80s were the peak period of the Japanese music scene, and it can be said that most of the singers from Asia came here to develop and make a living.

Teresa Teng hopes to make greater progress, so she agreed to Polaris' request to release an album in Japan.

Listening to her words full of pessimism, Huo Yaowen cheered up: "Miss Deng, I listened to your record last night, and I have to rap really well, I believe that you will be able to make a name for yourself in Japan this time." ”

According to the original history, Teresa Teng's second single "Empty Alley" not only broke the record sales record of singers under Japan's Polydor Records, but also stood out from more than 700 newcomers in the Japanese music scene, won the 1974 "Japan Record Awards New Singer Award", and won the "Shinjuku Music Festival Bronze Award", "Ginza Music Festival Hot Performance Award" and "Japan Music Festival Silver Award".

It can be said that it was an instant hit, with which Teresa Teng officially debuted in Japan and became the most popular Chinese singer among Japanese fans.

"Thank you, I will definitely try!"

In a foreign country, Teresa Teng is very happy to be able to reunite with the person she loves in her heart, although the two are a little embarrassed to meet, but listening to his encouragement, Teresa Teng gritted her teeth and swore that she must sing well on stage later!

At this time, a staff member outside ran in and said in Japanese: "Mr. Huo, it's about to start!"

Teresa Teng on the side helped translate.

Huo Yaowen replied, "Okay, we'll be here right away." ”

After the staff went out, Huo Yaowen tidied up the corners of his clothes, looked in the mirror again, and confirmed that his image was okay before he said to Teresa Teng: "Let's go, let's go on stage together." ”

The two had just arrived in the studio, waiting for the host's call in the dark, and the audience was already full of visitors.

"Everyone~~"

"Today is my happiest day, because my favorite master is coming to my show, and I can't calm down my heart since I received the news! I love his works so much, whether it's "1999 Trilogy" or "Second World" or "Game of Thrones", or "Jurassic Park", which is currently selling well in China, I have read every single one!"

Facing the host's almost roaring voice, although Huo Yaowen had expected this, he still couldn't help but want to cover his ears.

Without him, it's too noisy.

Before coming to Japan, Huo Yaowen had hardly watched any Japanese TV programs during this period, and when he came to Japan, he watched the programs of the TV station here when he was bored in the hotel.

I have to say that at this time, Japan's entertainment industry is still much more developed than Hong Kong, not only have many funny variety shows already been born, but even the way the host speaks is a bit like those middle two male protagonists in later anime.

Huo Yaowen was speechless, only to hear the host on the stage shouting: "Let us applaud Mr. Huo Yaowen, who has been on the best-selling lists of books in various countries all year round, a world-renowned science fiction author, the first science fiction master in Asia that has not been met in a thousand years, and one of the world's four giants of science fiction!"

Sweat......

I've never seen it in a thousand years!
