421 [Old friend Deng]
Huo Yaowen and his entourage followed behind Nobita Fujiwara and came to a luxury hotel in Tokyo.
Seeing this, Fujiwara Nobita immediately stepped forward and introduced: "Huo Jun, this is President Matsumoto of our Kodansha!"
"Mr. Huo has admired his name for a long time, and today he finally saw it, and he is worthy of being the world's first Chinese science fiction master!" Although Matsumoto has seen Huo Yaowen's photos, this is the first time he has seen the true face of the deity, and he is a little surprised, I didn't expect that he is more handsome than the photo.
Hearing this, Huo Yaowen held the other party's palm, smiled and said, "Hello Mr. Matsumoto, I would like you to come over in person." ”
"Yes, Mr. Huo is a distinguished guest invited by our Kodansha, and I, as the president, should greet him in person, but I am very sorry that I was delayed and could not get to the airport in time. ”
"You're so polite, Mr. Matsumoto. ”
The other party's overly politeness made Huo Yaowen a little embarrassed.
President Matsumoto said: "Mr. Huo must be tired when he comes by plane, we have already arranged the hotel, you can rest for one night first, and tomorrow we will discuss the specific details of the signing meeting." ”
"No need, Mr. Matsumoto. ”
Huo Yaowen shook his head and said, "Let's talk about the specific arrangements for the signing meeting first, so that I can prepare in advance." ”
It took less than four hours to fly from Hong Kong Island to Japan, and now it's noon, so I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep.
"That's good Mr. Huo, it's noon now, let's talk while eating. ”
Seeing this, Matsumoto glanced at his watch, and it was past twelve o'clock, which was the time for lunch, so he hurriedly beckoned several employees who came behind him and asked them to inform the people in the hotel to arrange lunch.
"Manager Wen, you take Qingxia and Mr. Fujiwara together, go upstairs first and put down the luggage, and come directly to the restaurant to find us later." ”
"Yes. ”
Wen Yingguang nodded, and led Qingxia and the others upstairs behind Nobita Fujiwara.
When he came back to Japan, Huo Yaowen didn't come alone, in addition to having two translators and secretary He Qidi, he also brought Wen Yingguang, Qingxia, Yin Meng, Liu Songren and Lin Xiaotang.
Wen Yingguang naturally came to discuss the release of the "1999" movie, and by the way, expand the Japanese distribution channels of Huanyu Film Company, and get to know more about the bosses of several Japanese theaters and film companies.
Qingxia, Hu Yinmeng and Liu Songren were brought by Huo Yaowen to see the world, and by the way, "1999" was released in Japan.
After all, the three of them are one of the few Asian-Chinese people in the movie, and the second part will be of great use in the future, showing their faces in Japan in advance, maybe they can become popular in Japan, which is a good thing for them and the company.
Lin Xiaotang came with him, it was Huo Yaowen's idea, he wanted to make "Kyushu" into an animation a long time ago, and there are very few relevant talents in Hong Kong who understand animation production, and the same is true in Taiwan.
However, Japan had a lot of animation companies early, whether it was poaching people or sending people to learn technology, people needed to arrange it, Huo Yaowen definitely didn't have time, so he could only drag Lin Xiaotang over temporarily.
……
In the hotel restaurant, Huo Yaowen was eating Japanese food while listening to Nobita Fujiwara's praise of him.
"Mr. Huo, I heard that Jurassic Park has sold 4 million copies in the UK, and it has also exceeded 800,000 copies in the United States in a week, which is really amazing!"
Fujiwara Nobita, as the person with the lowest position at the table, does not hesitate to praise himself, and has always been "Si Guoyi" and "Si Guoyi"!
Huo Yaowen just smiled at this and occasionally cooperated to chat a few words.
After a long while, the group had almost eaten enough, and then talked about the specific arrangements for the signing meeting.
"Mr. Huo, this signing will last for about three days, and they will be held in Ginza, Chiyo, and Shinjuku......"
As one of the cities with the highest ratio of physical bookstores to population in the world, Tokyo has more than 1,000 bookstores in the entire city of Tokyo including surrounding prefectures and towns before the birth of e-books, and this is not the peak period, the peak period was in the 90s, where there are more than 3,000 large and small bookstores.
Tokyo not only has many bookstores, but also the city with the largest book sales in Japan, so this is why Matsumoto only arranged for Huo Yaowen to hold a book signing here.
Signing for three days in a row, although the time is a bit long, but it is not unacceptable, it is the pain of his right hand, Huo Yaowen thought that when he went to Taiwan to hold a signing meeting a few years ago, his right hand could not grasp the chopsticks steadily for several days, plus those crazy book fans who got off the plane today, he faintly felt a slight tremor in his right hand at this moment.
In addition to holding a signing meeting in Tokyo, Matsumoto also used his connections to arrange for Huo Yaowen to participate in a visiting program on Radio Tokyo, and then hoped that he would be able to participate in Fuji Television's program if he could.
At the beginning, when Huo Yaowen was still in Hong Kong, he heard that Kodansha people wanted to participate in the TV show by themselves, and he wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it for a while, he nodded and agreed.
On the one hand, the higher the sales in Japan, the more he will share the manuscript fee, since he can make little devil money, he can make more money; secondly, September 8th, is the day when "1999" was released in Japan, and it happened to be promoted by the way.
Huo Yaowen suddenly asked: "By the way, President Matsumoto, how is the current sales of "Jurassic Park" in Japan?"
"So far, more than 3.7 million copies have been sold, and according to the reports of various districts, it is estimated that it will exceed 5 million copies within two months. ”
After Matsumoto finished speaking, he couldn't help sighing in his heart, he really wanted "Jurassic Park" to sell six million copies, breaking the previous sales of "Japan Sinking", but looking at the current situation, it is still a little difficult, so he will arrange for Huo Yaowen to appear on the radio and TV shows.
It seems that the sales are not bad.
Huo Yaowen didn't expect that in just a few months, Japan would sell almost four million copies, which is worthy of being a country that loves monsters.
……
While Huo Yaowen was chatting with Matsumoto, Japan's Fuji TV inserted a temporary news.
"Audience friends in front of the TV, at about 11 o'clock this morning, the world-famous Chinese science fiction writer Mr. Huo Yaowen successfully arrived at Tokyo International Airport, according to the news learned by this TV station, Mr. Huo Yaowen will hold a three-day signing meeting in Tokyo, in addition to Mr. Huo Yaowen will also participate in our Fuji TV special program at 7 o'clock in the evening on September 5, so stay tuned. ”
"Ah, Mr. Huo is here in Japan!"
Seeing the news on the TV, Miki Tanaka's eyes couldn't help but widen, and the whole person couldn't wait to jump up excitedly, he never expected that the science fiction writer Huo Yaowen, whom he had always admired, would actually come to Japan!
Next to him, a classmate who was also a fan of Huo Yaowen, said excitedly: "Tanaka, let's go to Tokyo together, I have long wanted to see Mr. Huo with my own eyes!"
"Okay!" Miki Tanaka didn't think about it, and completely ignored the matter of having class tomorrow.
Polygram Records.
Teresa Teng, who was preparing for the second Japanese album, was silently reciting the lyrics, when suddenly the door was opened, and her agent ran in and said loudly: "Lijun, Mr. Huo is here!"
Teresa Teng, who was still in a dazed state, asked inexplicably: "That Mr. Huo?"
"There can still be that Mr. Huo, the big celebrity in Hong Kong, Huo Yaowen!" the agent said.
"Mr. Huo is coming to Japan?!"
Teresa Teng covered her mouth in surprise.
The agent said: "It's true! I just saw the news on TV, saying that I was here to hold a signing party and would also participate in Fuji TV programs, don't you have a good relationship with Huo Yaowen? Why don't you ask him if he can take you to the program?" ”
At the beginning of this year, Teresa Teng was arranged by the company to officially come to Japan for development, signed a contract with Polygram Records, the largest record company in Asia, and released the first Japanese single "Tonight or Tomorrow" in March, but unfortunately the sales were not very optimistic.
Although the sales of her debut were average, Teresa Teng did not give up, and it took a few months to finally prepare the second single, which will be released at the end of the month, but according to the current situation, the risk is still very high.
Japan, as the largest record market in Asia, has countless newcomers releasing albums of various styles every day, and Teresa Teng, although she is well-known in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Nanyang, is only a newcomer whose first single hit the street in Japan.
This is also one of the reasons why the agent hopes that she can take the initiative to contact Huo Yaowen and rub his popularity!
You know, the agent has accompanied Teresa Teng to Japan for more than half a year to develop, and naturally knows that the current popular Chinese in Japan except Ouyang Feifei belong to Huo Yaowen!
And Huo Yaowen is not an ordinary red, the cumulative sales of his works in Japan have exceeded 10 million copies, not long ago major newspapers in Tokyo also reported this incident, this time I came to Japan to hold a book signing, to participate in TV shows, I think it will definitely attract the attention of many of his book fans.
