Chapter 81: A Trip to Hong Kong

Shen Zhenghui looked at the scenery outside the window, feeling that the plane began to taxi and land, all the way he had a thoughtful expression, which made Aonuma Tomoaki on the side a little strange, but adhering to the virtues of Japanese women, she didn't ask anything, but Fujido Xiangcheng on the side looked restless from the beginning of getting on the plane, Aonuma Tomoaki asked her what was going on to know that this little girl had never left Japan and had never taken a plane, so she was very nervous. When the plane landed, Fujido Xiangcheng also breathed a sigh of relief.

With the polite smile of the stewardess, everyone stepped off the plane. There is not much luggage, Shen Zhenghui is annoyed to go out with a lot of luggage, anyway, the clothes are not enough to wear and just go to the store to buy it, the current retail industry in Hong Kong is not bad.

Aonuma Tomoaki pulled Shen Zhenghui's arm with his backpack on his back, and said in a kind tone, "What are you thinking about on the plane, you are so strict when you get off the plane, and the orange is scared by you." ”

"No, I didn't." After getting off the plane, Fujido Xiangcheng's legs were still a little weak, and she dragged a large suitcase, and she walked a little crookedly. She was closely behind Shen Zhenghui and Aonuma Tomoaki, and when she heard Aonuma Tomoaki using her as a topic and Shen Zhenghui's words, she immediately refuted it.

However, her appearance is really not convincing, this girl is too nervous on the plane, and the long flight makes her very haggard, Shen Zhenghui looked over, Fujitang Xiangcheng did look like a frightened overly frightened look.

Shen Zhenghui can't tell Tomoaki Aonuma that he was surprised by Mitsumi Fukuda's sentence, "Do you want to ask the director of "Stormtroopers: Streets of Fury" to direct?" "Tormented. Shen Zhenghui remembered that the director did direct the movie "The King of Fighters", but it was a bad movie that hurt so badly, so bad that Shen Zhenghui had never heard of such a film being released, and only when he watched the Baidu Encyclopedia of "The King of Fighters" did he find out that he had already made a movie.

Of course, the investor may think that this is a fighting movie, and it needs to find a director with experience in fighting movies, but in fact, from the screenwriter to the producer, the entire crew is already rotten, so Director Chen is powerless. From this point of view, the idea of the film's investors is the same as Shen Zhenghui's, but they don't know what the strange plot and casting are all about.

What Shen Zhenghui cares about is that Mitsumi Fukuda mentioned Director Chen, is it because she knows such an action movie director, or does she know more?

Of course, Shen Zhenghui will not be confused about the entire flight time just because of such a guess, what he also wants to think about is that Fukuda Mitsumi did not equip him with an assistant, so he asked him to take two women - one of them is a girl, and just ran to Hong Kong to talk to Stephen Zhou about cooperation, first of all, this deputy looks like a liar! He pursed his lips, "Okay, let's go to the hotel first, I've already booked the hotel." ”

Tomoaki Aonuma was a little strange, "Does Kasuga Pictures have an office in Hong Kong?" Don't we have to go over there first? ”

"There is indeed a point, but Iwayama Yuan has been in Taiwan recently, and there are only a few staff in the office, so I don't bother to trouble them." Shen Zhenghui said.

Tomoaki Aonuma didn't say anything, and the three of them walked to the airport hall together, ready to go out and call a taxi to leave.

Just walked from the exit to the hall, crowded at the exit to pick up the plane densely crowded, Shen Zhenghui did not squint, and was about to walk out, Qingnuma Tomoaki on the side grabbed his arm, "Shen Jun, someone came to pick us up?" ”

"Huh?" Shen Zhenghui was a little strange, looking at a middle-aged man in uniform, holding a cardboard sign that read "Mr. Shen Zhenghui, Miss Tomoaki Aonuma", and there was a guy in a suit who looked like a company employee next to him, and he also looked at the crowd at the entrance seriously, and when he saw Shen Zhenghui and Tomoaki Aonuma looking this way, he waved his hand.

"Someone is really coming to pick it up." Shen Zhenghui glanced at Tomoaki Aonuma.

"Did President Fukuda arrange it?" Tomoaki Aonuma asked.

"Go ahead and ask." Shen Zhenghui walked towards the two people, and Fujitang Xiangcheng followed behind the two people without saying a word.

"Mr. Shen, Miss Aonuma?" As soon as he passed, the man in the suit next to him spoke first, "I'm Kazuya Zhuxing from the Hong Kong office of Kasuga Pictures, and I'm here to pick you up." ”

Shen Zhenghui patted the back of his head, and it was hard to say that the other party was doing something wrong, "I originally wanted to go directly to the hotel by myself and go to your office later." He pursed his lips.

The driver, who was holding a sign next to him, had put away the sign and started to help the two ladies with their luggage, but both ladies rejected his offer.

Zhu Xinghe also looks like he is in his thirties, and he looks no different from the Hong Kong people around him, unlike ordinary Japanese people who can see that they are Japanese just by looking at their movements, "This, we have received a notice from the headquarters that you are coming, in addition, Mr. Lin from Uniasia came to our office to ask when you will arrive, he wants to invite you to dinner, in addition, Mr. Xiang and Ms. Chen of Yongsheng also want to invite you to dinner, and Mr. Wang of Jiahe also wants to make an appointment with you." ”

"When did I become so hot?" Shen Zhenghui himself was a little stunned.

"Well, let's take you to the hotel first, let's talk slowly in the car." Zhu Xinghe also said.

After getting in the car, Shen Zhenghui knew that the reason why he became so hot was because of money. The last time I had a cooperation with Jiahe in Hong Kong, when Kasuga Pictures wanted to use the power of Jiahe to enter the mainland, but was rejected by Jiahe, and then Kasuga Pictures bought a part of the shares of Uniasia and cooperated deeply with Uniasia. The power of Plaza Premium was still small at the time, but after Lin Jian's trip to Japan, Kasuga Pictures became famous in the Hong Kong film industry. This is not because of the release of "The Cruel History of Peking High School" painted by Kasuga, but because Lin Jian bought Yongsheng's two gambling films to Japan. For Hong Kong, 80 million yen is not a small amount, but the distribution channel in Japan is the most important thing.

Yongsheng's two films, the standard can only be said to be average, of course, in the declining Hong Kong film group, it is not bad, for the local box office in Hong Kong, where the box office is extremely declining, the box office of many films in a year does not reach 40 million yen at all, which is about 3 million Hong Kong dollars. In the past, Hong Kong films were booming, and that was because the foreign market, Southeast Asia and Taiwan were open to Hong Kong films, but since these places began to carry out local protectionism, Hong Kong's local box office has become a joke again, and it is simply impossible to support the production of hundreds of films with a market of five or six million people. is that Jiahe's films can only be released in Singapore and Malaysia in addition to Hong Kong many times, so Hong Kong people are becoming more and more cautious about filming.

Now, Kasuga Pictures, as a Japanese film production and distribution company, has actually shown interest in Hong Kong films, which has given the Hong Kong film industry, which has lost the Southeast Asian market and has not yet opened the mainland market. It wasn't until Zhu Xinghe completely relayed the intention of these bigwigs to cooperate to Shen Zhenghui that Shen Zhenghui somewhat understood the significance of his visit to Hong Kong in the eyes of many people.

"Then help me contact Xinghui, I want to see Stephen Zhou and talk to him first." Shen Zhenghui, who knew this information, was relieved, and his self-confidence suddenly recovered from the blow of Mitsumi Fukuda.

"Starlight?" Zhu Xinghe also showed an embarrassed expression, "Mr. Shen, you may have just arrived, and you don't know about the Hong Kong film industry, and the companies that asked to visit you first are a little contradictory to Stephen Zhou, and the strength of Xinghui Company is very average, and there has been very little investment in filming in recent years." ”

Shen Zhenghui waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, no matter how bad a company is, even if it's a leather bag company, as long as its boss is Stephen Zhou, there is no problem." ”

Hearing this, a smile hung on the corner of Zhu Xing Kazuya's mouth, and then he restrained his expression and changed to a serious expression, "I still have to remind you to be careful," he said, "After all, Stephen Zhou's temper is not very good, and the relationship with the entire Hong Kong film industry is not good, if we choose to cooperate with him, it may cause ......"

"Mr. Zhuxing, what nationality are you from?" Shen Zhenghui interrupted him.

"Me? Of course I'm Japanese. Zhu Xinghe was stunned for a moment and replied.

"Since you're a Japanese, do you think you need to care about the relationship between the big Hong Kong studios and their leaders? Especially if you have all the chips they want. ”

Zhu Xinghe also thought for a moment, then saluted respectfully and said, "You really don't have to care. ”

"Yes, Kasuga Pictures is a Japanese company, so the Hong Kong company we work with, no matter how good the relationship is, is not qualified to let us choose who to cooperate with and who not to cooperate with, we choose to cooperate not to see whether the other party is popular, but to see if he can bring us benefits. What do you think? ”

"Hey, Shen Jun, you're right." Zhu Xinghe nodded, "I'll get in touch with Xinghui," he paused again, "Mr. Lin of Huanya hopes to treat you to dinner tonight." ”

Shen Zhenghui touched his face.

"Out of politeness," Kazuya said, "it's not a good place to turn them down." ”

"Okay," Shen Zhenghui pursed his lips, "Make an appointment with Stephen Zhou for me and make an appointment, and you can arrange it specifically." ”

"Okay." Zhu Xinghe also said seriously, and at the same time took out a stack of texts, "This is some information, Huanya, Yongsheng, Jiahe is very likely to talk about the film release, I have collected the information of their recent and upcoming films, in addition, they may also hope that we can invest in the films they are about to shoot." ”

"Oh?" Shen Zhenghui took the information and looked at the familiar or unfamiliar titles on it.

"What is the main job of your office?" Shen Zhenghui asked.

"At present, we are still collecting information and discussing distribution cooperation," Kazuya Zhu Xingya replied, "Because the business has just begun, the director of Iwayama instructed that the films to be released should be films that have been tested by the market, and so far, the only films we have negotiated for release are "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World" and "Chinese Heroes". ”

Shen Zhenghui was silent for a while, and carefully flipped through the list of Hong Kong movies released by Zhuxinghe, "When I contacted Xinghui, I said that we were very interested in "The King of Comedy". ”

Zhu Xinghe also nodded.

Shen Zhenghui saw the name of Yongsheng Investment's film on the list again, "You said that Mr. Xiang and his wife also asked me out, when are they going to make an appointment?" ”
