After leaving the Budokkan, Shu Ming drove and took Shen Chong and Qiu Siyu to one of Tokyo's largest movie theaters, where "Die Hard" will be officially released in Japan at midnight. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On the way, Shu Ming asked, "Mr. Shen, when will you transfer me back to Hong Kong?" ”

"What, homesick?"

"That's not it, I can go back to Hong Kong once a month." Shu Ming pushed his glasses and said: "Mr. Shen asked me to come to Japan to assist in the filming of "Shadow Samurai", and now "Shadow Samurai" will be released in two weeks, and I will continue to stay in Japan and have nothing to do." ”

"On the Japanese side, there are still quite a lot of things." Shen Chong glanced at him and said: "Now the Oriental Charm Japan Branch is just an empty shell, but it will not be soon, I plan to acquire a few companies and expand the scope of business in Japan, Manager Shu is very familiar with Japanese movies, I am ready to let you stay here, if you are homesick, your family can also come over, and the company will help solve your work and studies, of course, if you think it is good to work in Hong Kong, I am not reluctant." ”

Shu Ming sighed, not speaking, his heart was entangled.

Last year, he gave up his position as editor-in-chief of "First Film Review" and transferred to Japan, thinking that it was a poor situation, with a high salary, a leisurely job, and a developed economy and abundant materials in Japan, which is more comfortable and comfortable than in Hong Kong, but now looking back, he finds that he made the wrong choice.

Not because of anything else, just because his boss has developed too fast, in a year, he has changed from a well-known small rich man in Hong Kong to a world-famous rich man.

His decision last year was like letting the big officials of the Central Committee Jiuqing not do it, and going out to the bitter cold land to be a state pastor, although the minister of the frontier was majestic, but after all, he was too far away from the emperor, if after a while, the big boss forgot his existence, then his career would be useless.

But now listening to Shen Chong's words, the company will have a big move in Japan, and the prospects are promising, and it seems inappropriate for him to run back to Hong Kong now.

Shen Chong didn't notice Shu Ming's entanglement, he didn't go in the cinema when he arrived, he just observed the audience waiting in line to buy tickets outside for a while, and then went back to the hotel to sleep - he had Jiang Zhiqiang on his side, Cai Yongchang on Jiahe's side, and the two joined forces to come to Japan to arrange the release work, so he didn't have to worry about it.

The next morning, when Shen Chong got up, he saw that almost all major newspapers made headlines about the photo of Yamaguchi Momoe putting down the microphone in the rain of flowers, and he knew that "Die Hard" was only one step away from being a big hit in Japan

The idea of the rain was that he copied an advertisement from Sony in his previous life, in which Sony sprayed ru00,000 rose petals in a crater in order to promote the color of the high-definition TV, and the scene was extremely spectacular and unforgettable.

And after this idea came out, Shen Chong took advantage of the oriental charm to be the partner and investor of the Yamaguchi Baihui concert, and made the confidentiality work to the extreme, except for a few people, no one knew about this arrangement, and after such a gorgeous and romantic scene came out, reporters and the audience would definitely ask how it was made, but even the owner of the brokerage company Hori Wai didn't know in advance, how could others know?

The more mysterious, the more you want to dig, the more you dig, the more stories, the more gimmicks, the more gimmicks, the more gimmicks, the more attention "Die Hard" gets, the more attention it gets, the higher the box office.

Japan's area and population are far more than Hong Kong's, and the viewing habits and tastes of various places are also different, so before there is no computer networked ticketing system, it is difficult to quickly know the specific data of box office revenue, so Shen Chong didn't pay much attention to "Die Hard" in the next few days, just running around, LCD screens, memory, game consoles, cartoons, comic magazines...... Sharp, Toshiba, Nintendo, Tokuma Shoten, Shueisha...... Hayao Miyazaki, Shigeru Miyamoto, Akira Toriyama, Jean Hisaishi, Emi Wada......

In short, Japan in the RU era, things worth investing in, science and technology worth paying attention to, and talents worth recruiting are no less than those in the United States, and Shen Chong is very busy.

Shen Chong had planned to stay in Japan for a week, but eventually added two more days until the end of June, when he was ready to leave Japan for Singapore.

The day before leaving, he took a basket of food and sake, and under the guidance of Tomoyuki Tanaka, he went to visit Akira Kurosawa, who lived in a small cabin at the foot of Mount Fuji and looked like an ancient hermit, and invited him to Hong Kong to shoot a film about Chinese history.

Many people are very disdainful of foreigners filming Chinese history, there are all kinds of rhetoric, nondescript, messy, distorted opinions, etc., but Shen Chong thinks that it is all an excuse for pride and inferiority, China has such a long history, and countless stories worthy of special books, but Chinese filmmakers have made a plausible epic film and war film with Jin Shan?

"The Last Emperor" has all kinds of flaws and unreasonableness, but putting it together with Li Hanxiang's "Fire Dragon" is also about Puyi, which is of higher quality?

If you can't shoot it yourself, let someone else shoot it, maybe it will provide different perspectives and ideas, and stimulate one or two good movies, even if it can't be stimulated, it can also indirectly promote Chinese culture.

During the filming of "Shadow Samurai", every time there was a financial problem, a phone call to Hong Kong, the money would arrive immediately, and the production cost of up to 100 million yen, Shen Chong alone would bear 100 million, such a generous investor, Kurosawa Akira has been in the film for more than 40 years or the first time to encounter it, and although "Shadow Samurai" is still being released sporadically, according to existing statistics, the total box office is unlikely to exceed 4.5 billion yen, and after the account, Shen Chong is doomed to lose money.

Kurosawa is a very honorable filmmaker, in 1971 his film box office double failure, once committed suicide by cutting his wrists in the bathroom, his fierceness can be seen, Shen Chong came to visit, did not mention a loss, only talked about art, with a very respectful attitude, plus Tanaka Tomoyuki helped to persuade, so he almost did not hesitate, he agreed to go to Hong Kong.

When leaving Kurosawa's residence, Shen Chong asked Tanaka Yuyuki and said, "Mr. Tanaka, what did you say Liu Bei felt after he walked out of Zhuge Liang's thatched hut?" ”

"Liu Xuande looked at the thatched house three times, and invited Wolong, who is in his 20s, I think he must be in a good mood." Tanaka Tomoyuki's chubby face was smiling, and he said: "Shen Jun also took care of the thatched house today, but the one who invited him was a 70-year-old bad old man, and I am afraid that he is not in a very good mood." ”

Shen Chong laughed, and then said, "Mr. Tanaka is right, if Mr. Kurosawa is also a young talent in many years old now, I will definitely be even happier." ”
