Chapter 155: The End of the Old, The Beginning of the New

"Mr. Miyazaki, please stay, send you a thousand miles away after all, so let's send it here. "I returned to Tokyo in the afternoon, visited the studio of the future animation master Jun Miyazaki, and after negotiating the matter, Cheng Weiliang and Zhao Yazi got up to say goodbye.www.biquge.info

Toshishi Miyazaki reluctantly sent them outside before stopping, "Naru-san, goodbye! Next time I come to Tokyo, please let me treat you well, I still have a lot of questions about animation that I want to communicate with you." ”

Born in 1941, Miyazaki was in his early 40s and was working on the Valley of the Wind movie. His later classics, such as "Castle in the Sky", "Howl's Moving Castle", "Spirited Away", etc., have not yet been published.

Jun Miyazaki has his own unique views on animation, but he didn't expect that today's young guests from Xiangjiang would give such a high opinion to animation as a genre of cultural communication, and he is very close to his own views on the concept of animation design and the operation of the work.

He and Cheng Weiliang really met late, and they chatted very well in the afternoon. In the end, he even promised to give Cheng Weiliang a free movie animation title, but Cheng Weiliang resolutely refused and insisted on giving a reward of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. He believes that any writer should be reasonably remunerated for the fruits of his creative labor, so that he can have enough financial resources and motivation to promote the development of the industry.

Miyazaki Jun thought so, so he didn't postpone it any longer. Finally, Cheng Weiliang said that if he has financial difficulties in setting up his own studio or animation production in the future, ask Mr. Miyazaki to contact him, and he may be able to help.

……

"A few seconds of animation costs 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is really expensive!" Zhao Yazi still felt a little painful about the 100,000 remuneration paid by Cheng Weiliang.

In Xiangjiang, a well-known TV star like her, a TV series will be filmed for two or three months, and the salary will only be 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, which is only given by Taiwan Island, and TVB is only willing to give 50,000 or 60,000 yuan.

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, make friends with future animation masters, this investment is definitely worth it!" Cheng Weiliang's mouth was meaningful.

It's mid-December, and Christmas is just a week away, and the festive spirit is getting stronger. At this time, the bustling streets of Tokyo at night can be seen outside hotels and shops, draped in lights and promoting Christmas gifts.

Since the Meiji Restoration more than 100 years ago, Japan has implemented a national policy of "leaving Asia and joining Europe", and Western culture has become increasingly important in Japanese society, as exemplified by Christmas.

Cheng Weiliang looked at the bright lights on the street and the crowds of people, he said with great interest: "Sister Yazi, let's go, let's go shopping tonight and see what novelties there are." He grabbed Zhao Yazi's hand and strode towards the streetside promotion store.

"Well, there are some childish ones. Zhao Yazi's beautiful eyes glanced at him, and she couldn't help but smile. This is the image of a young scholar who just discussed with the animation master the way of social and cultural communication, and discussed the philosophy of getting along with man and nature.

With the rampant popularity of "Meteor Garden" in various countries, Cheng Weiliang's popularity has skyrocketed, and now he can no longer appear in public at will, and he will soon be surrounded by reporters and fans who have heard about it.

Finally, there is also Japan, an uninfected place, which allows him and Zhao Yazi to walk on the street easily and casually, without worrying about being recognized and watched.

He took her hand openly, and frequented the shops and gift shops. After walking around, the two of them really bought a few satisfactory items.

"Well, it's so handsome!" Zhao Yazi tied a twill tie for him in front of the dressing mirror, looked at the tall figure of the person in the mirror, and couldn't help but light up his eyes and admired it.

"That's a must!" Cheng Weiliang looked left and right in the mirror, and also took out a pair of hairpins with unique patterns that he had picked, and personally helped her pin it to the side of the high bun.

Zhao Yazi's current high-bun hairstyle was designed by Cheng Weiliang according to some of her later images, and her whole temperament looks noble and elegant. is different from the old-fashioned hairstyle with wavy curls that was popular in Xiangjiang in this era, if her acquaintances saw her at this time, they would definitely not be able to close their mouths!

The hairpin that Cheng Weiliang helped her choose made her more youthful and charming.

"You're always so beautiful, so I can't help it. After finishing the hairpin, Cheng Weiliang stood behind Zhao Yazi and admired her figure in the mirror.

Looking at it, the snow-white skin under her elegant hairstyle, with delicate facial features, and a look of joy and hatred, made Cheng Weiliang love it more and more, and he couldn't help hugging her waist behind her, printing a kiss, and muttering to himself.

The heartfelt affection in Cheng Weiliang's tone made Zhao Yazi happy in his heart, but he still secretly twisted his waist and reminded him: "Outside, pay attention." ”

Cheng Weiliang let go of her, and sure enough, many young female clerks and customers noticed their pair and peeked at them from time to time.

The two walked to the cashier to check out, and before going out, Cheng Weiliang suddenly smiled at the cashier, grabbed Zhao Yazi's shoulders, put his head to head, and asked with a smile: "Lovely Miss clerk, you just peeked at us so many times, look, are the two of us right?"

Several young female clerks were stunned by his bright smile, although a little embarrassed, peeking at the handsome man and beautiful woman was discovered. But after snickering, they all bent down and bowed, "Sir, you are really the most handsome, beautiful, and perfect couple we have ever seen." ”

"That's right! You know what to do...... Ah, where is it!" Cheng Weiliang smiled, and was about to say a few more words, but he was dragged out of the door by Zhao Yazi, who blushed with shame.

"What a funny foreign guest, I wonder if I can see him again?" a bunch of clerks behind him snickered and discussed.

……

When the two returned to the hotel where they were staying, they were immediately approached by a staff member from Polygram's distribution department, who was in a hurry.

Manager Chen, who led the team this time, said: "Wei Liang, the Japanese have finally compromised, Mr. Matsumoto of TBS Tokyo Broadcasting called today, and their TV station agreed to introduce "Meteor Garden" at a price of $12,000 per episode. It was agreed to be broadcast in theaters on Saturdays instead of 11 o'clock in the late night slot. ”

"And it seems to be in a hurry, they want us to come over tomorrow to discuss the specifics of the contract. ”

Cheng Weiliang snorted: "Hmph, of course they are in a hurry! I have observed no less than 10 video stores and shopping malls on the street tonight, and the doors of the shops where the "Meteor Garden" videotape is played have all attracted groups of passers-by to watch. ”

"Many girls buy a set of 10 episodes that have already been released as Christmas gifts for their classmates and friends. There are still many customers who have bought it, and they come to ask when the second half will be sold?"

"In the week since the videotape was released, each store in Tokyo's downtown area has sold an average of at least 100 units a day, and the trend is continuing to rise. At this point, those TV stations can no longer see it, and they are blind!"

Manager Chen said again: "Hehe, there are also Nippon TV, TV Tokyo, and Fuji TV have also called. ”

"These arrogant Japanese have been drying them for two days, and they finally understand that it should be them who should be in a hurry!" Cheng Weiliang said with a smile.

After a five-day trip to Southeast Asia, Cheng Weiliang flew directly to Japan and grinded with the TV station for two days, and the two sides argued about the introduction price and broadcast time. He simply left them behind and went on a two-day trip, letting Polygram's people continue to grind with them.

$12,000 per episode, 20 episodes add up to not much money, Cheng Weiliang is not greedy for this money, he wants the Japanese to pay attention to it, not to broadcast it in the late night slot.

What he wants is the impact that "Meteor Garden" will have after it was broadcast in Japan. He knows that after the later Taiwan version of "Meteor Garden" was broadcast in Japan, it was unprecedentedly grand and invincible.

Countless girls and grandmothers are extremely infatuated with the four leading F4s, especially the male No. 1 Daoming Temple. So much so that F4, an improvised amateur orchestra, can hold special concerts at Japan's famous budokan. Later, many of the TV series starring Yan Chengxu were introduced to Japan at a high price, relying on the aftermath of "Meteor Garden".

Of course, Cheng Weiliang also wants to rely on the influence of this TV series to let his music, future TV series and movies, enter the Japanese market.
