Chapter 10 Figures
It takes more than seven hours to fly from Tokyo to Singapore, which is not as long as Hong Kong to Los Angeles, but it is not a short journey. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After reading the information, Shen Chong took a nap, and after waking up, he saw Qiu Siyu with a dictionary on her knees, holding a Japanese magazine in her hand, while reading, her lips moved lightly, making a faint inaudible sound, practicing pronunciation, she has been doing this since she got on the plane, and several hours have passed, without slackening and exhaustion.
"Xiaoyu, you take a break, it's too hard, it makes me feel so stressed." Shen Chong shook his neck and said, "I saw that you were still learning Hokkien a while ago, and now you know Japanese again, if you continue like this, I can't afford your salary." ”
Qiu Siyu pursed her lips and smiled, she put down the magazine and asked, "Mr. Shen, do you want to drink something?" ”
"No, you don't." Shen Chong sat up straight, saw that there were stills from Yamaguchi Baihui in "Die Hard" in the magazine, and asked, "What did the magazine say?" ”
"This is a film review, saying that although "Die Hard" is very good at the box office, but Yamaguchi Momoe does not have many scenes, she should not take such a film with no artistic value as a retirement work, the author believes that it is the fault of Hori Production Co., Ltd., they sacrificed Yamaguchi Momoe's artistic career for financial gain, this text is very fierce, calling on the whole Japanese entertainment industry to crusade against Hori Waio."
"Didn't you say crusade against me?" Shen Chong smiled and said, "I'm the big demon king behind the scenes." ”
"Nope." Qiu Siyu picked up the magazines that had been read on the seat, and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen, you have a good reputation in Japan, these are all high-selling magazines in Japan, and they all say good things about you." ”
"I'm not that well-known in Japan, am I?"
"Not before, but now there is." Qiu Siyu knew that he liked the temperament of numbers, picked up a magazine, flipped through it to him, and said: "This is the latest issue of the Japanese music list ranking, "That Flower" has been the champion for the seventh consecutive week, with sales of nearly 10,000 UU copies, according to the current hot sales trend, Yamaguchi Momoe will soon become the first female singer in Japan to sell more than one million singles, and will also be the first female singer with total sales of more than 10 million records, the average sales of her previous records are only 340,000 copies, and this time the sales can be doubled, In addition to the excitement of retreat, the good music written by Mr. Shen is also considered to be an important reason. And oh, Shinji Tanimura's cover of "Star" is also on the public credit list, this song has been released for more than 3 months, and it is still in the top 20, and it has sold more than 500,000 copies. Mr. Shen, you are now the king of the Japanese music industry, very popular, and the magazine said that you are Hong Kong's Tsumei Jingping. ”
The Japanese pop music market is different from other countries, where most of the music is released as albums, while Japan likes to sell music in the form of singles, and Momoe Yamaguchi is in Aikmau
When it first came out, before CDs came out, the total sales of records could be close to 10 million, which was definitely very popular.
However, plagiarism carries an innate original sin, beautiful words and dazzling data, not only can not bring pleasure, but makes Shen Chong a little awkward, he turned to ask: "Who is Jingping?" ”
"He is the most famous composer in Japan, he has been in the industry for 19 years, and since 19ur, he has entered the top ten of the Japanese composer sales list every year, of which 71, 73, 75, and 76 are the annual sales champions, and he has won the trophy of the Japanese Annual Record Awards 5 times, has written hundreds of songs, and more than ten songs have become the champions of the public trust chart, Hiromi Iwasaki, Masahiko Kondo, and Weng Qianyu and Ouyang Feifei, who went to Japan from Taiwan to develop, all sang his songs and became popular."
This is a more powerful version of Miyuki Nakajima
Shen Chong thought blindly, Qiu Siyu continued: "The Japanese media think that Mr. Shen can completely let go, let Akira Kurosawa go crazy and burn money without foresight, and write a good song like "That Flower", and also made romantic arrangements that touched the whole of Japan at Yamaguchi Baihui's retirement concert, and is a big boss who respects artists very much and understands art very well, so he has a good reputation. ”
"Really?" Shen Chong touched his chin, he really didn't want to insert willows, he was just using Yamaguchi Baihui to promote the movie, but he didn't expect to have a good reputation, he asked again: "What does the Japanese media say about "Die Hard"? ”
"Mixed reviews." Qiu Siyu's inductive ability is very strong, and said: "The sound and light effects have reached the first-class level in Hollywood, and the kung fu action is the first in the world, but the rhythm is too fast, and the plot is not delicate enough to move people's hearts." ”
"It's all old men who write movie reviews, right?" Shen Chong smiled and said: "Japan is obviously one of the countries with the fastest pace of life in the world, but their film companies are always making some slow movies, slowly falling in love, and playing in the mountains and rivers slowly, so young people in Japan are not entering the cinema, and the film industry is also sluggish." ”
"Hmm." Qiu Siyu changed another newspaper and said: "This is today's "Yomiuri Shimbun", and the financial edition said that "Die Hard" grossed more than 1.8 billion yen in the first week, and if it is released for a month, it is very likely to surpass "Shadow Samurai"44." To become the box office champion of the 19ru movie, Japanese film companies should reflect on it. ”
In 19ru, l dollars can be exchanged for 0 yen, 1.8 billion yen can be exchanged for dollars, only 00,000 only, Shen Chong is not satisfied with this result, you must know that in 1978, Golden Harvest found a stand-in, tinkered with Bruce Lee's unfinished posthumous work "Game of Death", re-edited, and then took it to Japan to release, the box office was as high as 900 million yen, "Die Hard" has a peak lineup, well-made, and popular Japanese artists joined, which should achieve a higher box office.
According to the laws of the industry, the total box office of a popular movie is about 3 times the box office of the first week, and it is estimated that "Die Hard" can probably get a box office of UU million US dollars in Japan, the Japanese film industry is sluggish, and the theater chain is very weak, according to the contract, Oriental Charm can get 55% of the total box office In this way, the Japanese market alone has recovered all production costs, and the rest of the box offices like Hong Kong, Taiwan, Europe and North America are considered profits.
High investment and high return, the money earned by a movie "Die Hard" is probably more than the money made by Shaw Brothers making dozens of low-cost movies a year, and Run Run Shaw, who was stimulated by Shen Chong and has a rich net worth, has always wanted to enter the international film market but has repeatedly failed, I don't know if he will test the water again?
After Golden Harvest tastes the sweetness, will it put aside the oriental charm and make a big production by itself?
Will the newly established Golden Princess also play big productions?
As a financial city, Hong Kong is full of hot money looking for investment opportunities, will they also come to test the water film industry?
If that's the case, it wouldn't be better, Shen Chong is not afraid of competition, he is afraid that there are too few competitors......
