Chapter 446: Autocracy and Disobedience [Three Changes]

As soon as Lin Youlun and Qiu Shuzhen arrived in Tokyo, the itinerary was informed in advance by the local media, but fortunately, the partner chosen by Golden Harvest this time was Toho Film Company, because of the cooperation in the filming of "Godzilla", the two sides have already dealt a lot. Dongbao arranged the reception work very carefully, and the media could not easily get close, but because there would be reporters around him whenever he traveled, Lin Youlun's plan to recruit some Japanese cartoonists could only be put on hold for the time being.

Lin Youlun first met with Hiroshi Fujimoto, the author of "Robot Cat", Suo Yasuko, and Akira Toriyama, the author of "Dragon Ball", and negotiated with them about the licensing of the Chinese version of these two comics, and then visited famous Japanese directors such as Akira Kurosawa and Shunji Hikoi, and invited them to be the judges of the Hong Kong International Film Festival.

"Resident Evil" was scheduled to be released in theaters under the name of Toho, and Lin Youlun was not going to participate in the promotional activities of the film in Tokyo, but Toho Co., Ltd. President Hidenobu Takai personally invited him, and he also participated in the investment of "Resident Evil", so he appeared at the movie premiere with Qiu Shuzhen later.

For the needs of the film's promotion, Qiu Shuzhen specially wore the customized leather suit that was worn during filming. Her figure was already very hot, and the black and shiny tight-fitting leather outfit perfectly outlined her figure. When walking, the slender waist swayed from side to side, as well as the amazingly cocked buttocks below, which attracted screams from fans at the scene as soon as he appeared.

Because she starred in the heroine of "The Silence of the Lambs", Japanese fans are no strangers to Qiu Shuzhen, and that movie and "Midnight Bell" both entered the top five Japanese movie box office that year. Its popularity has left many local Japanese films in the dust.

Qiu Shuzhen held Lin Youlun's arm with one hand. One hand to his bright red lips. made a kissing gesture to the fans in the audience, which immediately caused a lot of commotion.

The media did not let go of this opportunity, and since Qiu Shuzhen and Lin Youlun appeared together, the flash lights on the scene have not stopped.

This time, Dongbao Company has learned the lessons of the last time, and has implemented a strict qualification review for journalists, and all media who have not come with an invitation letter are prohibited from entering, so in the media question session. Lin Youlun didn't encounter any difficulties.

"Japan has surpassed Taiwan to become the most important market for Hong Kong films in Asia, and the Hong Kong film industry is very keen to have more exchanges and cooperation with the Japanese film industry, I believe that there will be more and more co-productions like Godzilla in the future, and I also hope that more Japanese films will be released and distributed in Hong Kong. There may not be many opportunities for this kind of event, but the Hong Kong International Film Festival is one such platform, and as the organizer of this event, I very much hope that more Japanese films will be exhibited at the Hong Kong International Film Festival. ”

Although it was Lin Youlun who answered the question. But the reporter's camera lens was always aimed at Qiu Shuzhen beside him, standing there with her long powerful legs. Wearing a pair of small leather boots under his feet, he was sexy, and in just a few minutes, he murdered most of the filmmakers on the scene.

Seeing that the media question time was about to end, a reporter suddenly stood up.

One of the staff members closest to the reporter immediately noticed that something was wrong with the man, because he did not have a press card issued by the organizers on his chest.

Lin Youlun only heard the reporter say something to him in Japanese, and immediately two staff members rushed up, knocked him to the ground, and when they were sure that he had sneaked in, they unceremoniously dragged him out.

While the other reporters in the audience were buzzing and discussing, Lin Youlun also turned his head sideways to ask the interpreter standing beside him.

"What did he just say?"

The translator didn't figure out what was going on, so when Lin Youlun asked, he told the truth.

"Just now he asked, why didn't the director of this movie come to Japan?"

When Lin Youlun heard this question, he immediately understood the reason.

He said to the interpreter next to him: "You asked them to let go of the reporter, I was very interested in his question." ”

I didn't know what the translation was in, but I did it anyway.

The reporter had already been dragged to the door of the venue, and when he heard Lin Youlun's words, he broke free while the two staff members who restrained him were stunned, and then strode forward and looked directly at Lin Youlun without fear.

A person in charge of Dongbao had already run to Lin Youlun's side and whispered to him about it, Lin Youlun nodded, but still insisted on talking to the reporter.

"You just asked me that question, which means you know who the director of this movie is?"

All the promotional materials of "Resident Evil" in Japan deliberately downplay the name of the film director, and even on the public poster, Mu Liaofu's name cannot be seen at all.

"Of course, I know that the director of this movie is the guy who filmed "Black Sun 731", and I also know that he once publicly stated that if the Japanese side did not apologize for its behavior in China during World War II, he would continue to make more films about that period to expose the crimes of the Japanese, which is also what I find strange and incomprehensible, since he is so hateful and hostile to Japan, why does his new work continue to be released in Japan? Isn't he going to continue making films that expose Japan's crimes? Why did you switch to making commercial movies again. ”

The translator was still paying attention to Lin Youlun's expression while explaining what the other party said to Lin Youlun, because the Japanese reporter's question was too sharp, and it could even be said that it was not a question but a provocation.

Unexpectedly, Lin Youlun's expression was very flat from beginning to end, and there was no sign of anger.

"Do you think the content of the movie "Black Sun 731" is fiction and a twist of history, right?" Lin Youlun opened his mouth and asked the first sentence.

The Japanese journalist was stubborn, "Unit 731 does exist, but I don't believe they will do those experiments that exterminate humanity." ”

"I don't want to argue with you about whether Unit 731 did those evil deeds against humanity, because this is a basic fact, just like the two atomic bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki left Japan with permanent pain. There are some things that will not be forgotten over time. I can say that. Japan's crimes committed in China during World War II. It can never be forgiven, and director Mou Yanqian, including some other Chinese, used movies or other ways to reflect that period of history truthfully, not to make the Japanese repentβ€”if the repentance was useful, there would be no war in this world. What we really need is a kind of reflection, a kind of confronting of history and a reflection on the war itself, because that's the only way. Only then can new wars break out in the future, and new hatred and suffering will be born. ”

Lin Youlun did not directly crucify the Japanese to the cross of morality for torture, so his words were easily recognized by most of the Japanese present.

"If you seriously compare director Mu Lifu's previous work and the current movie, you will find that "Black Sun 731" is about the human tragedy that occurred in the past because of bacterial research, and "Resident Evil" is about the terrible disasters that will occur in the future because of virus research, you can see "Resident Evil" as a commercial movie imagined out of thin air, but the realistic theme reflected in this movie is actually the same as "Black Sun 731", although the researchers in "Black Sun 731" still maintain human thinking and form, But what they do is no longer worthy of being called human, and "Resident Evil" is to visualize this theme. Those who study viruses end up turning themselves into zombies. Both movies are actually telling everyone that human beings should reflect on all their behaviors, otherwise they are destroying themselves. Lin Youlun finally returned to the comparison of the two movies, and after the translator completely relayed his words, the scene was silent for more than half a minute.

The reporter who asked the question wanted to open his mouth, but he didn't know what to ask.

Just now, the two staff members walked up to the reporter again, but this time they didn't use force, and the reporter didn't resist anymore, and calmly accepted the fact that he was asked to leave the venue.

This unexpected episode at the premiere was faithfully recorded by many Japanese reporters present, and Hayashi Youlun's remarks immediately appeared in major Japanese newspapers, and in addition to the right-wing diehards who stood up to refute it, more Japanese people chose to remain silent.

Toho was very worried that the box office of "Resident Evil" would be impressed by this incident at first, but the facts proved that they thought too much, and in the three days after the film's premiere, the Japanese box office of "Resident Evil" exceeded 300 million yen, and if the situation did not change significantly, it is possible for the film to reach a total box office of 1.5 billion to 2 billion yen in the end.

Of course, Lin Youlun and Qiu Shuzhen's itinerary in Japan was still affected by some factors, and the promotional activities originally scheduled for Osaka and Yokohama were all canceled, and Qiu Shuzhen went directly to South Korea by plane to continue the promotional activities of "Resident Evil" in Asia, while Lin Youlun returned to Hong Kong ahead of schedule.

β€”β€”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the plane is about to take off, please check your carry-on baggage and fasten your seatbelts!" A radio in the cabin gave a cue, and the flight attendant began to check along the seats.

Lin Youlun was reading a newspaper, and the passenger sitting in front of him had an argument with a flight attendant for some reason.

"Hey, miss, you have to be responsible when you speak, I just asked you to teach you how to fasten your seat belt, but you said that I did something to you, did anyone see it?"

Lin Youlun lowered the newspaper a little, looked sideways, and found that it was a middle-aged fat man who spoke, with a domineering expression on his face.

The stewardess standing in front of the fat man didn't look very old, her eyes were red, as if she had just cried, and her pitiful appearance was very sympathetic.

Lin Youlun felt that this flight attendant was so familiar, and his heart moved, and he suddenly remembered someone.

The purser heard the commotion and came over to ask what was going on.

"I said that the people you airlines are looking for are of any quality, and they can't help fasten a seat belt, and they said that I insulted her." The fat wicked sue first.

"No, he asked me to help him fasten his seat belt, and then he took the opportunity to touch my hand and say some obscene things in his mouth." The young stewardess retorted.

"Alright, don't talk about it." The purser stopped the two of them arguing, "This gentleman, the plane is about to take off, if there is any problem, we will solve it for you later, can you please sit in your seat now?" ”

"No, she has to apologize to me!" The fat man has a grudge and unforgiving posture.

"He's just a hooligan, why should I apologize to him?" The young flight attendant was full of grievances, and tears rolled in her eyes when she spoke, and she was about to cry.

"You say I'm insulting you, but who sees it, you find someone to come out and prove it for you!" The fat man looked around arrogantly, and the travelers who were looking at this side turned their eyes away.

The purser gently pulled the young flight attendant, she had seen a lot of harassment of the flight attendant on the plane, and when she encountered such a rogue passenger, she could only consider herself unlucky, and she would always suffer the most from the company.

Especially those who sit in first class, they can't be easily offended, and if they meet the company's major customers, it will be even more unlucky.

"With her attitude, let me tell you, I will definitely complain about her when I get to Hong Kong......" Before the fat man finished speaking, someone slapped him heavily on the back of the head.

"Who, who hit me?" The fat man stood up with his head covered, turned his head to look left and right, and locked his eyes on Lin Youlun who was looking down at the newspaper, "Boy, did you do it, are you impatient?" ”

Lin Youlun put down the newspaper and raised his head, looking like he didn't understand, "Are you talking to me?" ”

The fat man was furious, "Boy, don't pretend to me, you took the newspaper backwards, and you still don't admit it?" ”

"I'm sorry." Lin Youlun turned the newspaper that he had taken the wrong way to the right, and then looked at the other party with a smile, "It's always okay, right?" ”

"You're trying to fool me, aren't you?" The fat man came over angrily, "Reading the newspaper and wearing sunglasses, believe it or not, I'll pump you!" ”

Lin Youlun's sunglasses were quietly put on before hitting the back of the fat man's head, and he didn't want to be recognized at first and save trouble.

The fat man lifted his hand up as he said this, but he could not do so, because the other hand stretched out from the side, and grasped his wrist like a pincer.

"Sir, if you have something to say, it's not good to do it!" This is clearly a dissuasion, but in fact it is a warning.

When the person who came saw that it was the head of the bodyguard, the fat man was secretly shocked, and he was a little unsure of Lin Youlun's origin, and his arrogance at the beginning suddenly became a little shorter.

"You said I hit you, right? Who saw it, and you found someone to prove it for you? Lin Youlun's words were exactly the same as what the fat man said to the young flight attendant just now, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that he was helping the flight attendant get ahead.

The fat man's hand was restrained by Lin Youlun's bodyguard, but his face was already the color of pig liver.

"Didn't you just find someone to prove that you were insulting this flight attendant? Can I attest to it, is there anything else you are not convinced? ”
