"Wind Forest High School" began to gradually fall into the picture five weeks after its release, and at the box office, "Wind Forest High School" completely crushed "Snow Crisis", "Wind Forest High School" earned 6.3 billion yen at the domestic box office in Japan, far exceeding the 4 billion yen of "Snow Crisis", and at the same time, thanks to the overseas distribution channels of Kasuga Pictures, "Wind Forest High School" won nearly 6 billion overseas box office, mainly concentrated in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, especially Taiwan, because it is a script adaptation of a Taiwanese game company, so the box office is extremely hot, Coupled with Columbia's $5 million buyout of the North American distribution rights, Kasuga Pictures earned nearly six billion with "Wind Forest High School," a rhythm that frightened Japanese filmmakers.

"Snow Crisis" has a very good reputation, and the critics have also received very high reviews, and the actors' acting skills have been well received. In contrast, "Wind Forest High School" was ridiculed as an exaggerated popcorn movie and the exaggerated acting methods of young people, the storyline was messy, etc., and was sprayed wildly by film critics, but it just couldn't stand the young people entering the cinema wave after wave to experience the exaggerated martial arts and watch all kinds of cute girls on campus, almost from the beginning, the box office victory of this film was obvious.

For a long time, because of the recession of the film market, Japanese artists have invested their energy in shooting TV series, and movies are often animated films and foreign films to play the lead, and the success of "Wind Forest High School" has far surpassed "The Cruel History of Peking High School" and has become an important topic in the circle.

Suddenly, a company like Kasuga Pictures appeared, which actually called for wind and rain in the film market and made a lot of money. It made people think a lot for a while. First of all, gossip magazines called Shen Zhenghui the Haruki Kadokawa of the new century, this gentleman invested heavily in movies in the 80s, which stimulated the Japanese film industry fiercely, so serious newspapers and magazines also followed, they took the trouble to analyze several films invested by Shen Zhenghui, and even added several telephone movies produced by GONZO to the analysis sample. It was concluded that Shen Zhenghui had inherited the Japanese aesthetic tradition of violence and was growing to become the successor of Akira Kurosawa.

Shen Zhenghui doesn't understand that shooting action movies is called violent aesthetics, so violent aesthetics are too cheap, if there is really any aesthetic tradition. The Japanese aesthetic tradition should be an alternative. For Japanese aesthetics, whether it's mourning, wounding, or a tendon of bushido, or hysterical perversion. Their aesthetics are all universal. Unified. At its core, it's all about cruelty. Being cruel to others, being cruel to yourself, not being able to stand this cruel change in heart, and so on.

The national character of a country is closely related to the history of that country. Sometimes Shen Zhenghui couldn't laugh or cry when he read articles touting himself, and felt that some Japanese and Koreans were on par. However, because of the publicity of the newspaper, Shen Zhenghui's reputation as Shen Yu and Sasaki rose sharply for a while, and many film companies were very interested in cooperating with Kasuga, and the number of texts submitted to Shen Zhenghui became more and more, many of them were invitations from influential big people, and it was not easy to refuse, Shen Zhenghui had to meet them, although he knew that he shouldn't come back every time, but Shen Zhenghui would still ask Horiguchi Nazumi, "When will President Fukuda come back?" ”

Nazumi Horiguchi answered every time that she didn't know.

After the release of "Wind Forest High School" is completed, the next thing is the release of "Black Fist", and the reason why the release of this film is so delayed is because Shen Zhenghui wants to be able to achieve global release through the North American distribution channel of Guò Colombia, in general, there is no problem in East Asia, Shen Xingguo's application to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television to pass the relationship is also passed, South Korea has finally opened a gap and contacted a Korean distribution company, "Black Fist" is rare to be released in three East Asian countries at the same time, plus the United States, Canada, many small countries in Southeast Asia, and then through the channels of guò Europe, Shen Zhenghui reluctantly put together a global release posture, of course, there are still subtle differences in the middle, in order to achieve such a shelf, spring in some places, such as South Korea and Europe, which have always had no channels, suffered a lot of losses, which made Shen Zhenghui feel more and more the importance of channels. He became more and more dissatisfied with his performance in the position of president.

Lu Yang had already rushed to Hong Kong to start his first experience as a director, and before that, he sent the results of what Shen Zhenghui asked him to investigate through the channels that Shen Zhenghui had given him.

This is a very simple investigation, Shen Zhenghui is very wary of Fukuda Mitsumi, after the two sides know each other's identities. As a time-traveler, the biggest worry is meeting another time-traveler, even if these two people are of different genders, it doesn't mean that they can get along peacefully. If Shen Zhenghui still harbored this kind of fantasy before, now he has thrown away the fantasy in the face of the cruel reality, and Fukuda Mitsumi has not come forward to hide it for a long time, which makes him even more uneasy. He felt a little nervous, but he couldn't help but try to guess Mitsumi Fukuda's intentions from the clues around him.

Shen Zhenghui gave Lu Yang the phone numbers of Liu Xin, Natsumi Horiguchi, and Tomoaki Aonuma, including landline and mobile phone numbers, and asked him to check the communication records of these numbers, and at the same time to trace the numbers that frequently call them to find out the owner and phone address.

In Japan in 2000, it was really not too difficult to do this kind of thing, and now is not the era when you can buy bearer mobile phone cards on the roadside and use public telephones everywhere. Although it is a little difficult to track down the call logs, this is simply not a matter for ordinary people, for people with ability, or for telecom practitioners. Lu Yang found a private detective, and the private investigator bribed a telecom employee, so he got this record, and then the private detective looked through the phone book and completely figured out what Shen Zhenghui wanted to investigate.

Things were expected by Shen Zhenghui, and they were also a little unexpected by him.

Natsumi Horiguchi, Ayaka Kuroishi and several Nara phone numbers call frequently, which is what Shen Zhenghui wants. Mitsumi Fukuda will not lose control of the company, and someone will continue to report the company's situation to her.

What surprised Shen Zhenghui was that Aonuma Tomoaki and Liu Xin also talked frequently with Nara's number, which was completely unexpected by Shen Zhenghui, he thought at most that the friendship between girls might have some call records, but he didn't expect it to be so frequent, and for a while, Shen Zhenghui even had the illusion that he was NTR. If Mitsumi Fukuda knew what Liu Xin and Tomoaki Aonuma were doing from the beginning, it would have been a sad story.

Shen Zhenghui looked at the address of the phone, and it was written very clearly, it was the Kasuga Shrine of Milk.

I didn't think Mitsumi Fukuda really lived there. I really don't know what she's doing in hiding.

Shen Zhenghui thought about it for a while. The result is still inconclusive. As a traverser, it is really difficult to predict her behavior pattern, maybe she is a decisive guy, and what she thinks about at the moment is that she must first be safe when she is outside; Maybe she's a soft girl at heart. I met someone with the same origin. So he left everything to the man with confidence; The worst thing is that this guy transforms while crossing. So there is an uncle's heart under the appearance of women, and the favorite thing to do is NTR, Shen Zhenghui thought about it and felt that the oxygen in his brain was not enough.

He thought about it. felt that if he didn't figure out this problem, he couldn't tolerate it to continue to stay here in the spring to help Fukuda Mitsumi do things stupidly, so Shen Zhenghui began to think of his own plan, and the first step was to meet Fukuda Mitsumi.

A good excuse is that Miyamoto is forming his own crew in Nara, and the script written by Shen Zhenghui was shown by Miyamoto to Takeuchi Chonghe Mushroom after Takeuchi Chong and Nasu Mushroom joined Kasuga, hoping to get their refinement and revision.

Miyamoto himself liked the atmosphere of the story after watching "The Empty Realm", so when he heard that Takashi Takeuchi and Nasu Mushroom had joined Kasuga, he ran to these two people and hoped that they could become screenwriters for him.

Although Takeuchi Chong and Nasu Mushroom feel that they are destined to achieve a hegemonic combination in the ACG world, they do not refuse to be a movie screenwriter, and they themselves are also attracted by this script, and the two of them played the true colors of otaku in the script and spit out ACG-related grooves in the script, assisting Miyamoto to finalize the style of the entire film from the text, which naturally delayed the release of the official version of "Moon Hime", fortunately, Taiwan's Hantang also joined the production of "Moon Hime", preliminary estimates, "Moon Hime" It can be released at Christmas, and at the same time, "Black Fist" can also be released at Christmas, and from the general point of view, it is really not a good choice to release a brutal fighting movie at this time. However, Colombia did so, and Shen Zhenghui did not have too many options.

Miyamoto originally wanted to set the story in Tokyo, but later found that the cost of filming in this way would be too high, so he moved back to Nara, where Mitsumi Fukuda was deeply rooted and had a convenient place to shoot.

So this also became a convenience for Shen Zhenghui, so that he could arrive in Nara by inspecting the crew, and at the same time he could find an opportunity to meet Mitsumi Fukuda.

For this reason, Shen Zhenghu seriously thought about whether to wear body armor.

It's easy to have an excuse to meet, and when "Fenglin High School" achieved a box office of more than 10 billion yen (equivalent to more than 100 million yuan at the box office), Shen Zhenghui received a call from Wang Anran, in which Wang Anran greeted Shen Zhenghui's luck and announced a shocking good news - he was invited to the National Day dinner as a representative of overseas Chinese.

"Who said I was an overseas Chinese?" Shen Zhenghui was still a little depressed.

"Aren't you?" Wang Anran asked rhetorically, "Do you count how many days you stay in China in a year?" If you want me to say that you had better take this opportunity to come back, even if you stay in Hong Kong, if you attend this kind of dinner, the next step is to become a representative of the National People's Congress and the National People's Political Consultative Conference, do you like the National People's Congress or the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference? If you stay abroad all the time, you will probably only be able to become a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. ”

People's congress deputies and CPPCC members are mostly symbolic honors, but if you can't get mixed up with this status, it's quite a shame.

Shen Zhenghui's father is a deputy to the Pengcheng People's Congress, and his mother is a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

"Do you have to go?" Shen Zhenghui asked, he was still a little apprehensive about that kind of occasion, the key was that some people were too embarrassed to meet.

"It's better to come." Wang Anran said, "It's good for you, no matter what it is." ”

Shen Zhenghui knew that there was no way to avoid it, so he went to Nara this time, and he had a good excuse that he was going to leave Japan for a while. However, it was a period of time, not going to China on September 30, eating on October 1st and coming back on October 2nd. Shen Zhenghui has long had plans to use his father's ready-made channel to open up the domestic market. But what I didn't expect was that I was dragged by Fukuda Mitsumi for so long. But I can't just leave. The stakes between himself and Haruga are too deep, not to mention that Mitsumi Fukuda also gave him a part of the shares. Shen Zhenghui has these shares in his hands, like a fish being caught.

Kasuga Pictures' 2000 annual financial statements were quite good, and the release of several high-profile films pushed the company's earnings high. Even the money from investing in the cinema chain is about to be recovered. Asset valuations have multiplied several times. Securities companies and banks all wanted to lend money to Kasuga Pictures, and several securities investors came to lobby Kasuga to go public, and in the first half of the year, it was Fukuda Mitsumi. In the second half of the year, he was resisted by Shen Zhenghui. If it is really listed, Shen Zhenghui's small shares are enough for him to spend his whole life.

But obviously, spending time and drinking is not Shen Zhenghui's hobby. He tried to make a phone call to Mitsumi Fukuda, explained to her the things he was facing, and said that he would come to Nara in person to have a face-to-face handover with Mitsumi Fukuda, and finally apologized that he really had to leave Japan for a while, and asked Mitsumi Fukuda to worry a little more about the company's affairs. He said, "After all, it is feasible to control a company remotely, and I feel that the operation of the whole company can operate normally even without me, so I feel that I can go with peace of mind." ”

"Since you think that's the case," Mitsumi Fukuda muttered on the other end of the phone, "then there's no need to come to Nara, I'll talk to Natsumi Horiguchi directly." ”

"As a partner, I don't think it's really appropriate not to come and see you before I go back home." Shen Zhenghui half-squinted his eyes and said in a firm tone, "I'll go to Miyamoto's crew first, and then come to you, anyway, I haven't been to the temple before." ”

"Oh, are you still going to bring Tomoaki Aonuma?" Mitsumi Fukuda's tone seemed to be teasing.

Shen Zhenghui suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, "She is busy filming," he said, and then took the initiative to mention, "Liu Xin is also very busy, "Leluxiu" is about to be broadcast, and she herself has to worry about the production of the next animation." ”

"Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot." There was a hint of relief in Mitsumi Fukuda's tone, "Okay," she said, "Since you're coming, then let's come alone, and don't bring anyone with you?" ”

agreed so easily, but Shen Zhenghui was a little confused, "Don't you want anyone to bring it?" So Nazumi Horiguchi. ”

"Hehe," Mitsumi Fukuda laughed on the other end of the phone, "Sure enough, my girlfriend is too busy, so she started another woman's idea?" ”

"Where do you think of it?" Shen Zhenghui felt that he was sweating, "Isn't this to facilitate work?" ”

"If you really want to see me," Mitsumi Fukuda said, "just come alone." With that, he hung up the phone.

Shen Zhenghui held the earpiece for a long time, but he didn't know how to react.

The next few days were extremely busy, Nazumi Horiguchi almost wanted to stuff all the signatures for the next year to Shen Zhenghui to sign, Shen Zhenghui was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink tea, he could only endure this life silently, thinking that he was about to leave Japan and feel relieved.

Aonuma Tomoaki and Liu Xin's reactions to the news were similar, and they were a little reluctant. Tomoaki Aonuma was too busy with work, and he didn't have much time to get together with Shen Zhenghu. Liu Xin commutes to work normally, like an office worker, but the two of them still have too little free time together.

Liu Xin understands very well what National Day dinner Shen Zhenghui is going to attend, and as a Chinese, he understands the political significance of this matter. She herself is full of resistance to returning to China, her parents' divorce has hit her quite hard, Liu Dekai has long been a representative of the provincial people's congress, and he is also marching towards the national level, and he looks very promising.

Liu Xin is very conflicted about this, she really wants Shen Zhenghui to inquire about the current situation of his parents, and she is worried that this recent situation will make her sad.

It's hard to say anything about Shen Zhenghui, when the two of them get together alone, they talk a lot about work. Liu Xin wants to talk about the progress of "The Legend of Wukong", and Kadokawa Bookstore is ready to wait until the anime is broadcast to publish the novel at the same time, and at the same time serialize the comics. CLAMP has already started construction, and Liu Xin has also accelerated the progress. Another important thing for Shen Zhenghui to return to China this time is to go to the headquarters of the starting point novel website to meet Jin He by the way, as the first online writer to publish online novels in Japan, the starting point has done a lot of publicity on Jin He.

The scheduled time came quickly, and Shen Zhenghui boarded the train to Nara and went to Nara alone to inspect Miyamoto's crew, and at the same time met with Mitsumi Fukuda, who had been hiding for more than a month.

As for what the upcoming meeting will look like, Shen Zhenghui is full of expectations on the one hand, and on the other hand, he can't help but think about it, including that he is like Xu Wenqiang, his whole body is the size of a machine gun, and the most important thing is that Mitsumi Fukuda is still wearing a sailor suit.
