Tokyo, Japan, the entrance to a subway station. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Minako put on her favorite pink dress today, rushed to the agreed place at 8:20, and finally waited for Obokuichi after 17 minutes.

Minako smiled sweetly and half-bowed, "First date, please take care of me!"

Ohbo Kuichi was a little shy, and also bowed, "Hello, please take care of me!"

In other words, a slight deviation in the direction of the development of time and space will lead to a huge gap in the final development of the social form, and many people who have adapted to the social state and ideas of the 21st century may not be able to imagine at all, in fact, as long as the original revolution and reform line and the like are slightly deviated, the whole society that has developed later and developed for a hundred years will be completely different.

For example, in another time and space, "My Sassy Girlfriend" can be filmed in South Korea, and it can become popular in Japan and South Korea, because of the profound social reasons of thousands of years of male superiority and inferiority, and later when it spread to China, this film can become popular and win widespread love among young people, in fact, with the further development of the economy after 2000, it is not unrelated to the social work ability, income capacity, social recognition, and social status of young women at that time- At that time, people urgently needed one thing to confirm that the social status of women had been drastically improved!

This is the group psychology of the whole society.

Just imagine, if men and women were originally equal, then a rude girl, even if she was cute, would be more or less disgusting, instead of looking so strange and attractive.

In the same way, in the time and space where Li Qian once lived, the young people in China probably couldn't imagine that in Japan in that time and space, and China, Japan, South Korea and other countries with East Asian Confucian culture in this time and space, although they were not encouraged, they did not object to young people falling in love early.

In Japan, many boys and children start falling in love at the age of thirteen or fourteen, which is not too early, and many of them will choose to get married after graduation and stay together for life.

On the one hand, it can be understood as a variant continuation of the concept of marriage formed in the oriental society, the Chinese language and cultural circle, and the Confucian cultural circle for thousands of years, but it is undeniable that it is a symbol of the unusually stable and even completely solidified social order of a place, a country and a nation.

In other words, anyway, your father is a flat-headed commoner, and you still want to be the prime minister in your life? Since you can't jump to the level of green smoke from the ancestral grave, and it is impossible to marry the president's daughter or something in the future, just start early, pick a beautiful girl to soak, and when you graduate, you will get married and live a life to go to the ball!

Minako is fifteen years old this year, and Obokuichi is sixteen years old this year.

Both of them went on their first dates in their lives.

In the morning, the two went to the amusement park, which was proposed by Minako, so she paid for it, and the two had a good time, and had dinner together at noon - Obokuichi was a shy and quiet, well-educated boy, and he respected Minako's ideas more, so it was Minako's favorite to eat, so Minako was very grateful and moved, and felt that Jiuyi-kun was really considerate! So he happily took out the money, and Obokuichi was happy.

Well, if this is in China, even in China in this time and space, it may not be easy for a boy like Obokuichi to find a girlfriend. But in Japanese dating between men and women, this is one of the more normal situations.

The more self-respecting and self-loving national psychology and social customs, the less easily girls will spend each other's money, at least towards a serious relationship, girls will have such an attitude - this is something that has been confirmed by countless countries and nations, as well as thousands of years of history.

In the afternoon, it was finally Ohohue's turn to spend money, and he invited Minako to watch a movie.

After the two finished lunch, they rested for a while, chatted and communicated for about an hour, and each other felt that they had gained a lot of understanding of each other, so their good feelings increased, and after the two of them had a good chat, they then found a large movie theater nearby, ready to watch another movie, and added an hour or two of time together, and then ended this beautiful first date.

There are quite a few popular films currently on the market.

Obokuichi was more optimistic about "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" before - the former is said to be a fantasy theme, which he likes very much, and the latter he has read the original book!

He had already paid preliminary attention to these two movies on the Internet before, so at this time, he consulted Minako's opinion, and saw that she had no opinion at all, so he was satisfied to buy a ticket, but at a glance, he felt as if something impressive had flashed in front of him, so he stopped and turned his head to look - he actually found a poster! A poster of Li Qianjun!

"Huh?"

Minako saw him running towards a poster, so she followed him curiously.

"Hey, how could it be Li Qianjun?" Minako wondered.

In fact, since a few years ago, since the first album, Li Qian has begun to enter Japan, but it has always been semi-popular and not popular, the more well-known the underground music circle, among the small number of young people who yearn for China, he is regarded as the leader of East Asia, but in the mainstream music industry, he is not comparable to the local superstars in Japan, even after the release of "Jiangnan" last year.

However, who made this year a World Cup year, and who made his "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" popular all over the world!

Nowadays, as the lead singer of a popular band, he is so handsome, even in Japan, he has been praised by many people, many media and music critics as "Asia's No. 1 talent", and among young people, he has quickly become one of the most well-known and popular idols.

"Hmm......" Da Bojiu scratched his head, looked at the poster seriously, and muttered at the same time, "Is there an album to be sold here?"

But soon, he understood that this was really a movie poster!

It's just that the Japanese co-publisher is afraid that no one will buy Huang Feihong's poster if it is posted, so when negotiating the distribution rights, they would rather give Minghu Culture a little more share, and insist that Minghu Culture must allow them to use Li Qian's portrait on the poster!

As a result, a strange situation that is relatively rare in the world has appeared!

Below the poster, there is a normal poster mode headed by Huang Feihong, with Aunt Thirteen, Pork Rong and others clustered on both sides, but above the poster, in the most conspicuous place, there is a big bust image of director Li Qian!

Even a few days after the release of the movie, the box office skyrocketed, proving that the quality of the film itself is very strong, but the distributor still insists that it is because of his "wise decision" to print Li Qian on the movie poster that this has the current good results!

After all, the only purpose of the poster is to lure the audience into the screening room!

As long as you can get the audience to buy tickets, it's a good poster!

Therefore, when standing in the cinema, what Daibo Kuichi and Minako Konito saw at this moment was such a paradoxical poster - next to Li Qian's image, there were the biggest words in the whole poster in addition to the title: Li Qian's directorial work!

And then there are those others, like "After "My Savage Girlfriend", the box office in Huaguo broke 100 million in the first week of release!", like "The first kung fu movie in history, Li Qian personally interprets the demeanor of a martial arts master!", in short, the meaning is a little more ambiguous, if you don't read all the posters and run in happily, you will find that Baga, Li Qianjun didn't appear at all, okay?

At this time, Da Bo Jiuyi finished reading the poster carefully, and suddenly said: "I remember, I heard yesterday that there is a Chinese film that was released a few days ago, and it is very good...... Damn, why didn't they say it was directed by Li Qianjun?

Minako couldn't help but ask: "Isn't Li Qianjun singing?" I like him and Liao Liao so much, I think they are a match made in heaven! But Li Qianjun is too attentive...... Does he make movies besides singing?"

Obo Kuichi replied seriously: "Yes! I also watched Li Qianjun's "My Savage Girlfriend" last year, and it is a particularly good-looking romance film! I liked Li Qianjun relatively early in Japan!"

Minako was shocked when she heard this, "Ah! It turns out that "My Sassy Girlfriend" is also the work of Li Qianjun! I like it so much! I see! Li Qianjun is so talented!"

Da Baojiu nodded, paused, and then said: "Otherwise, how could he be called 'Asia's No. 1 Talent'! By the way, a few days ago, I went to the website of China, and the first concert tour of the four major beauty bands will officially start on the 12th of this month! It's a pity that we can't see it!"

Minako was shocked again, "Ah? Are they going to have a concert? Will they come to Tokyo?"

"No! only in China, only four shows!"

"Huh...... We love his songs, too! Isn't it true that whenever a singer gives a concert, he will come to Tokyo?"

But what is even more infuriating is that I saw on the Internet that some people had booked tickets with a Chinese booking company in advance, and they had actually bought tickets for concerts, and some people were said to have bought them from Chinese fans at ten times the price! They even took photos and posted them on the Internet, saying that they were going to make an appointment to fly over to see them together, which was really infuriating!

"Huh...... How can you go to China to go to a concert?"

"Yes, I also said that I practiced the summer program in advance, which is really enviable!"

"yes!"

"Uh, Minako, let's watch this movie by Li Qianjun, okay? Next time, I invite you to watch "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", these two were originally planned to be watched by you!"

"Okay!"

Minako's eyes smiled into a cute crescent moon, "I'm so happy to be able to watch Li Qianjun's movie with Kuichichi-kun!"

"Huh...... Really?"

Obokuichi touched his head embarrassedly and smiled shyly.

After buying the tickets, the two waited for the opening effort, and chatted again, Minako asked a question that she wanted to ask just now, "Can Jiu Yijun actually go to the Chinese website?"

Obokuichi nodded proudly, "Yes! Because of my family's education, I have studied Chinese for five years! I also know China very well!"

Minako's eyes were full of little stars when she heard this, "Huh...... Sure enough, he is a well-educated person! Jiu Yijun is so powerful!"

Ohohyu smiled shyly, a little modestly, but actually proudly nodded.

Although there was a great war between China and Japan in this time and space, it has to be said that Japan has been shrouded in the Confucian cultural circle for a long time for one or two thousand years.

Even some formal and official documents or contracts, contracts, etc., must be written in Chinese - obviously, they believe that Chinese logic is more rigorous, more accurate to specify the offer items, failure to reduce ambiguity, and avoid discord in the future.

Even today, in the past 100 years, Japan's economy, culture and other aspects have always been ahead of China, and the Japanese people's own national self-confidence has been unprecedentedly inflated, but I have to say that this is like a Hollywood actor must be able to speak a standard London accent, and Hollywood also likes to remake some classic novels of English literature is a truth - no matter how developed you are now, no matter how depressed the other party is, how many years you have moved forward, the cultural roots of your entire nation and the entire country are in other people's places!

Therefore, the Japanese version of the novels of "Journey to the West" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been flourishing in Japan for a long time, and after the TV series made in China with Japanese dubbing was broadcast, it was almost empty, and even the Japanese translation of "The Legend of the New White Lady" had caused a sensation throughout Japan after it was broadcast, and several novels by the famous Chinese novelist Jin Yong that have been translated and published in recent years, such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", have also been sold well in Japan.

It's just that, similar to what happened to "Once Upon a Time", Kim Yong's novels were translated and all of them were dubbed as "the best samurai novel in history"!

To put it bluntly, the roots of their culture are Chinese culture and Confucian culture, and the Japanese culture that has developed and derived from Japan for hundreds of years and nearly a thousand years is just a branch and variant of Confucian culture.

…………

In early May, "Once Upon a Time" landed on the Japanese and Korean film markets, and then set off a craze for "kung fu movies" in both countries! Therefore, no matter where Japanese young people like Kuichi Ohbo and Minako Kokai learned about this movie, the final result was that they bought movie tickets and walked into the screening room.

Therefore, this pair of young people who are on their first date in their lives are not alone.

Moreover, when they walked out after the 100-minute movie, their young people all had their eyes lit up and praised the kung fu shown in the movie!

Then, when they went back after watching the movie, or spoke on the Internet, or talked to friends in reality, they all praised the movie, which made the reputation of the movie spread among young people in Japan at a very fast speed.

…………

The war in the Chinese film box office market between April, May and June 2002, even many years later, was a "golden age" that fans and film history researchers talked about.

Because in these short three months, the Chinese film market and domestic films themselves have achieved a number of breakthroughs! There are many records, and they have not been broken until many years later!

For example, in the first week of May, that is, from May 1 to May 7, the Chinese film market, with the double blessing of "The Gate of Life and Death" and "Huang Feihong", achieved the highest weekly box office in history of 375.63 million!

This record is unprecedented, and it was not until two years later, in 2004, that it was broken because of the competition between "The Matrix" and the imported blockbuster "Jurassic Park 2" in the domestic film market.

Some glorious records have even become the pinnacle of some people's life's glory.

For example, "The Gate of Life and Death", which was finally offline after 57 days of release, finally won an astonishing box office of up to 700 million Chinese yuan, and later landed in North America, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, Europe and other countries, and was also well received, and finally got an amazing box office of 190 million US dollars from abroad, and the total global box office was superimposed, as high as 540 million US dollars, and even ranked 24th in the global film history box office record at that time!

This is of course the highest box office record for a Chinese-language film!

And it is also the first time in the history of Chinese films that it has achieved such a huge influence overseas and such an astonishing high box office!

Although "The Gate of Life and Death" has many problems such as old-fashioned stories, the shots are gorgeous, the martial arts action is elegant and elegant, and it is very appetizing to Westerners, plus Qin Wei is very famous in the world, and the story of the prince's revenge is understandable to Westerners, so "Once Upon a Time" can still fly with it in Japan and South Korea, and even has the ability to overpower each other in Southeast Asia, but when it comes to North America and Europe, it is immediately thrown away!

To put it bluntly, people in East Asia and Southeast Asia are time-tested and will be more interested in something new, breakthrough and innovative like "Once Upon a Time", but for moviegoers in Europe and the United States, a simple story of an oriental hero defeating the enemy with kung fu is obviously not as good as a movie that shows gorgeous oriental luxury and elegant style of play everywhere!

What's more, it's still the same sentence, a simple story stalk like the Prince's Revenge will make it easier for Europeans and Americans to understand, and "Once Upon a Time" more or less, there are some unfriendly factors for Western devils!

So in the end, the overseas box office of "Once Upon a Time" only got $145 million in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, and the cumulative global box office was $380 million, which is a full $160 million less than "The Gate of Life and Death" - equivalent to 320 million Chinese dollars!

A box office that has been a super-hit movie before is difficult to reach!

However, this is the pinnacle of Qin Wei's personal achievements.

Since then, Qin Wei, although he has continued to produce all kinds of gorgeous blockbusters, has earned quite a lot of box office, at the moment it seems that the staggering domestic 700 million Chinese yuan, the global box office of 540 million US dollars, and later only ranked third in the box office ranking of the films he directed, but until more than ten years later, he can no longer replicate the huge success achieved at this moment!

Therefore, some people in later generations said that China in 2002 belonged to Qin Wei and the World Cup.

Of course, some people say that China in 2002 belongs to football, "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty", Qin Wei, and "Huang Feihong" - this is the most impressive important event in that hot summer!

Yes, you read that right, many people think that it is Qin Wei and "Huang Feihong" that leave the deepest impression on everyone, not "The Gate of Life and Death" and "Huang Feihong"!

In fact, after experiencing the popularity in the first few weeks of release, although the popularity has declined, the story in Qin Wei's commercial masterpiece "The Gate of Life and Death" is old-fashioned and uninspired, Guo Yulong's performance is a little excessive, and the sets and costumes are too empty and gorgeous, etc., have begun to gradually overwhelm the praise of the film from all over the country, and in the end, these increasingly negative word-of-mouth have also greatly affected the box office results, making "The Door of Life and Death" It was delayed until the release for 57 days, and finally survived the 700 million mark and went offline.

In contrast, with the release and popularity of "The Gate of Life and Death", "Once Upon a Time", which has been repeatedly suppressed and must have been affected by the box office results, has become the pioneering work of a classic series that people remember and remember again and again many years later.

This "world's first kung fu movie" finally only got a box office of 470 million yuan in China, and unfortunately failed to break through 500 million, and was generally regretted by public opinion and the media circle at that time as "born at the wrong time" - many people believe that without the impact of "The Door of Life and Death", this groundbreaking first kung fu blockbuster is fully capable of breaking through 500 million, or even hitting 600 million at the box office!

Of course, even if it is only 470 million Chinese yuan, it has already made "Huang Feihong" enough to follow "The Gate of Life and Death" and rank second in the list of domestic film box office history!

The price of movie tickets has risen, and the domestic film market as a whole has begun to recover strongly, which has made the development of the film market show a trend of rapid growth, and the so-called super box office record that has been talked about by people not long ago has been crushed by the two blockbusters "The Door of Life and Death" and "Huang Feihong" this year!

"The Swordsman and the Monk" has maintained the highest box office record of 270 million Chinese yuan for domestic films for four years, and the 270 million Chinese yuan won by Zhao Meicheng's "My Name is Jixiang", which is only more than one million less than it, before the Spring Festival, became dust in this summer, and was quickly thrown away from the gap between 200 million and 400 million!

The domestic box office record of 620 million that was once unbreakable in "Titanic" was also broken by "The Door of Life and Death", which no longer seems to be so impressive to domestic filmmakers!

Of course, if you talk about the global box office, whether it is "The Door of Life and Death" or "Once Upon a Time", domestic movies are still far from "Titanic"!

But even so, the successive sales of the two domestic films, 700 million and 470 million Chinese dollars in China, and 540 million and 380 million US dollars in the world, still stimulated the domestic film industry!

After seeing this box office, Zhao Meicheng decided to finish the film at hand and was about to shoot a commercial production, Zhou Yanghua and Du Weiyun jointly announced that Du Weiyun would invest 160 million in the new film he was preparing, and did not rule out the possibility of additional investment - it may eventually be as high as 200 million Chinese yuan!

And Liu Chengzhang, who has been silent for a long time, also quickly took the initiative to alleviate the little contradiction with Hu Fei, and the two sides continued to join forces, planning to create an "epic special effects blockbuster"!

Of course, investment is indispensable!

It can be said that Pandora's box has been opened by two blockbusters, and the era of commercial blockbusters of domestic films has really been officially announced in the summer of 2002!
