Shen Zhenghui also went to see his father before going to Japan. Shen Xingguo rarely showed off in front of Shen Zhenghui, "The box office of your cartoon this time is not very good, the newspaper said that it will not exceed 40 million." ”

"Forty million is already a lot, don't you take a look, I'm on the list?" Shen Zhenghui responded to his father like this.

In 1999, three cartoons appeared on the box office list of domestic films, namely "Puhai Fortress", "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: The Year of the Rabbit", and "Baolian Lantern", among which "The Year of the Rabbit" and "Baolian Lantern" sandwiched Director Zhang Da's movie "No One is Missing" one by one, and "Puhai Fortress" at the top of the list The 88 million box office made all domestic directors itch.

In 2000, the box office ranking of domestic films has changed again, so far, "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: Happy Year of the Dragon" continues to hang second with a box office of 36 million, saying that Xinghui Animation is ready to brush up on this kind of cartoon every year, which is simply a move to attract hatred, and the most hateful thing is that the box office is still so good. "Endless", which was released at the end of last year, followed with a box office of 1 million less, and the two films with great potential and are still in theaters "Life and Death Choice" have booked the first place, and "World Air Battle Story" has also booked a top four position, and the subsequent movies are not to worry. However, Director Feng is ambitiously preparing to release his new film "A Sigh" in September, hoping that this work depicting extramarital love can arouse everyone's desire to watch the movie.

As the most dominant domestic film, "Life and Death Choice" sacrificed the most powerful weapon - collective viewing. The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee, and the Ministry of Culture probably felt that last year's achievements were too shameful. Let a Japanese animated film dressed in domestic films win the first place at the box office of domestic films of the year. This year, they are obviously working hard, life and death decisions have been released for more than two weeks, and the box office has exceeded 40 million, it is said that the next step is to continue to promote collective viewing in large and medium-sized cities across the country, and all civil servants, public institutions, universities, primary and secondary schools must organize to watch, and they must also write their feelings after viewing. There is a box office that does not exceed 100 million yuan, and resolutely does not paint in it.

And 2 of the films scheduled to rank in the top five (considering Director Feng's new films have always been very appealing, so leave a place for "A Sigh") are related to Shen Zhenghui, no matter what. It should not be said that Shen Zhenghui's results are failures. Shen Xingguo's logic is obviously not like this. "It's far worse than last year." He said, "And what kind of martial arts movie did you make, can it be released in China?" ”

"Can't it be released?" Shen Zhenghui asked rhetorically, and then he immediately slapped his ass. "Isn't that up to your ability?"

"You kid." Shen Xingguo shook his head. "Did you declare this film before it was filmed?"

"Huh? Still want to declare? Am I not a co-production? ”

"Co-productions also have to be declared!" Shen Xingguo said fiercely, "I see that you have been abroad for a long time and have forgotten everything." ”

Shen Zhenghui touched his head. "Can I declare it now?"

Shen Xingguo rolled his eyes, "Want to remedy?" It's late! The script and everything have to be submitted for review. ”

Shen Zhenghui touched his face, "This, you didn't tell me this, didn't you feel happy when I asked you for money and people?" You didn't think of it either? ”

Shen Xingguo's face couldn't hold back, "Hey, I thought you thought about it, after all, aren't your classmates also related to that?" ”

Shen Zhenghui knocked on his head, "Otherwise, forget it, this film will not be released in the mainland, I think that in terms of the subject matter I shoot, it will inevitably be ordered to modify and cut out part of it in the end." ”

Shen Xingguo snorted, "If you try to do this, won't you return to China for release in the future?" ”

Yes, there is nothing in the market right now, but it would be a problem for the bureaucrats to decide that you look down on them.

"That's it, this film has already been filmed, I won't release it first, let's declare it first, if it goes along with it, it's okay to postpone the release a little." Shen Zhenghui thinks about the Chinese market in the future, and feels that there is nothing to lose a little now. Moreover, he has another film that will be released in August, and this film can even be postponed until next year. It's good that we didn't talk about the release first.

"Otherwise, Dad, I will apply in the name of your company, Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, China and Japan jointly filmed, as well as Thai actors and filmed in Thailand, a proper co-production."

Shen Xingguo pouted, "I'll try it, you have to give me all the materials!" Script or something. ”

Shen Zhenghui nodded, "I'll ask my little uncle to bring it to you." ”

"Ah," Shen Xingguo patted his head, "Speaking of which, how are your little uncle and Wang Jun doing with you?" ”

"That's good," Shen Zhenghui has no special impression of his little uncle and cousin Wang Jun's cousin, but this just shows that these two faithfully completed their tasks, they neither complained in front of Shen Zhenghui, nor did anyone complain in front of Shen Zhenghui about his relatives' cousins, and when they looked back and checked the accounts, it was clear, which showed that they had done their job well, "I let them play in Hong Kong, and by the way, I helped me register a leather bag film company in Hong Kong, if you co-produce, You can use the name of this company. ”

"That's good." Shen Xingguo nodded, and then pretended to be casual and said, "Your father and I are recently cooperating with Changsheng Film and Television Culture Communication Co., Ltd. and Huayi Brothers Film Co., Ltd., preparing to make a ......."

Shen Zhenghui felt that these two companies were very familiar, so he casually received, "Qing palace drama? ”

Shen Xingguo was a little unhappy, "It is indeed a Qing palace drama, but it is more similar to "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", which belongs to the drama category. Teacher Zhang Guoli, Teacher Wang Gang, and Teacher Zhang Tieling starred, and the ratings must be high. ”

Shen Zhenghui didn't want to criticize his father's taste, he smiled, "You are from a background in filming the main theme film." ”

"That's luck," Shen Xingguo said angrily, "Otherwise, you think the script is so easy to review?" It's hard to have a good time with the book now.。 He sighed, "If it weren't for the sake of helping you pull the relationship, would I have worked so hard?" Many people know that I am your father, and they all give me a look. ”

"Isn't it?"

"Not? In particular, in the case of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, the scripts we sent to us alone were shot nine times out of ten, and one had to be revised. Shen Xingguo sighed, "Do you think I want to cooperate with others?" I had to do it. ”

Shen Zhenghui blinked.

"You have been abroad for a long time, and you have no foundation in China, and my father is helping you build relationships." Shen Xingguo patted Shen Zhenghui's shoulder. "Your classmate's father is in a high position. But it doesn't matter if it's radio and television! You can't keep making military-themed films, and besides, it's not easy to make this kind of film all the time. ”

"What is called is not easy, and it is called impossible to be good or bad. That is, the form of cartoons is relatively new. It won't be possible to do this kind of subject matter next year. Radio and television will not approve it. Shen Zhenghui shook his head.

"So you see." Shen Xingguo spread out his hand.

Well, that's all Shen Zhenghui's harvest in the mainland.

When Shen Zhenghui rushed back to Japan, it was already time for the release of the new film to be released, and "Snow Crisis" and "Wind Forest High School" were released at the same time. It has attracted the attention of countless media and audiences, and the lineups of the two sides have also been compared with each other, and the media is talking about predicting which movie will have a higher box office.

"Snow Crisis" is a work that has attracted much attention, and when it was still a novel, it was already the best-selling mystery novel in Japan, and it has been expected to be put on the big screen, this time it was shot as a live-action movie, with two national idols, Yuji Oda and Nanako Matsushima, which can almost be said to be world-watching, especially the masterpieces of these two, "Jumping the Great Search Line" and "The Witch's Condition" were released one after another in the first two years, pushing their fame to the peak.

In contrast, "Wind Forest High School" is much dwarfed, although Shen Zhenghui also starred in movies with good box office and high-rated TV series in Japan, but because he doesn't find a way to maintain a certain exposure and fame like ordinary artists, many Japanese people's impression of him is only a one-sided impression of the rich Chinese second generation who spends money in hopes of becoming famous. The propaganda can't keep up, and naturally there is a lack of ignorant girls and middle-aged aunts who love him. Coupled with Tomoaki Aonuma's bad background - especially her background in such a topical background, she rarely participates in variety shows, which makes her also lack popularity in Japan. "Fenglin High School" took a group of young people to film on campus, although young people also have a good performance in Japanese dramas, but people generally think that the crew of "Snow Crisis" is even higher. The only advantage of "Wind Forest High School" is that it is an action movie filmed and performed by Japanese people - Hong Kong style.

Shen Zhenghui read these opinions in the newspaper, and of course he was a little surprised when he went to the premiere of the movie, Mitsumi Fukuda had a great ability to make the whole premiere very large. Genesys and other artists naturally came to cheer, and there were their young rising stars in this movie, in addition to Takuya Kimura, S? All the other members of the MAP group came, and Masahiro Nakaju also came to greet Shen Zhenghui, saying that if he wanted to shoot a kung fu movie next time, he must find him, and said that his dream was to shoot a kung fu movie.

Shen Zhenghui naturally wouldn't take this kind of politeness seriously, but he still agreed with a smile in front of him.

Because of Janiss' support and the help of the beauties of Queens, the beautiful girls and beautiful boys dressed as characters in the play have attracted a lot of attention. The whole premiere still showed enough momentum, Shen Zhenghui saw that Mitsumi Fukuda, who was attending this ceremony, seemed to be in poor spirits, yawning incessantly, and looked a little sluggish, combined with her slightly plump body, Shen Zhenghui asked with some concern, "How are you doing?" ”

"Very well, just waiting for you to come back!" Mitsumi Fukuda responded, "This will allow you to do all kinds of messy things." ”

"You really think too highly of me," Shen Zhenghui pursed his lips, "I have to admit that my ability is limited, this is definitely not self-humility." I really want you to get everything in order before you go, at least so that I can find the person in charge of everything, and of course, even then, I don't want you to tire yourself out. ”

Mitsumi Fukuda stared at him for a while, "Thank you for your concern," she said indifferently, "but maybe I won't be able to watch the premiere with you after a while, I'm a little uncomfortable." And the air in the cinema is so bad, I have to go back early to rest. She made an apologetic gesture, "I asked Natsumi to stay with you, and if there is anything you can leave to her." ”

Shen Zhenghui glanced at Natsumi, who was standing behind the scenes and negotiating with the theater party, and couldn't see that this girl was just twenty years old this year, and her expression and momentum at the moment had the demeanor of a superior.

"You're really eclectic." Shen Zhenghui blinked, "You can use anyone." ”

"Are you saying I should thank you for your recommendation?" From Mitsumi Fukuda's tone, Shen Zhenghui confirmed that this was not irony, "If women make up their minds, let go of their reserves. There's nothing that can't be done. ”

"Great conclusion. It is especially suitable for Japanese women. Shen Zhenghui said.

Hikaru Fukuda glanced at him, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!" ”

Mitsumi Fukuda's exit did not affect the premiere at all, and Shen Zhenghui took the stage to tell a few filming jokes under the questioning of the host who was trying to stir up the atmosphere. By the way, I advertised my new film. But if this film fails at the box office. New films may not have more opportunities and better schedules. He always has a sense of fear for next year's Spirited Away, but if you calculate carefully, "World Combat Story" seems to be able to beat "Spirited Away" at the world box office.

Mitsumi Fukuda and Shen Zhenghui said that after the screening, people who painted Kadokawa might look for her, for this statement of Mitsumi Fukuda. Shen Zhenghui felt very strange, "What did Kadokawa Pictures do with us?" ”

"Collaborative things."

"Cooperation?"

"It depends on how well you do at the box office," said Mitsumi Fukuda, "and if the box office is good, there are as many people as you want to work with." ”

"Huh?"

"You have to tell them firmly, it is impossible for GONZO to accept their shares."

"It's fine if you say no."

"I've said it, but they're still pestering, and I need you, the shareholder, to stand up for me."

"Of course I'm rooting for you." Shen Zhenghui was a little confused.

"That's great, but we'll all know if you say it." Mitsumi Fukuda replied.

Shen Zhenghui shook his head, "It's really inexplicable." He said to himself.

The pre-premiere interview and other programs are over, Fukuda is gone, and then the film begins to be screened.

When Shen Zhenghui saw himself taking brisk steps on the screen, dressed like an ordinary high school student going to school, a strange feeling suddenly rose in his heart, this feeling was also in his previous life, whenever he returned to his alma mater, he didn't even need to return to his alma mater, walked through any school, and saw the childish faces of young students, Shen Zhenghui had a feeling of wanting to go back to the past.

It stands to reason that I've been so successful in my life, I shouldn't have started to get nostalgic so early! He touched his chin and saw himself on the screen scurrying around the school looking for his classroom, and there was a strange atmosphere throughout the campus, almost everyone seemed a little abnormal, and the students in the camera almost showed off their ability to be different from ordinary people - that is, kung fu.

Due to Shen Zhenghui's insistence, although the production of this film uses a lot of stunt shots, in terms of style, the kung fu shown in the movie is still as realistic as possible, and it is not as exaggerated as the future "Fenglin High School". The students in the play act as if they are ordinary people when they are not using kung fu, and when Shen Zhenghui, who plays the protagonist Sasaki in the movie, walks into the corridor with an umbrella, he throws the rain in the face of Tomoaki Aonuma.

At this time, there was a low cry in the cinema, this exclamation was not aimed at others, or at Aonuma Tomoaki, she was wearing a cautious student uniform in the camera, and she was dressed like a student girl, but the charm and innocence shown were that everyone couldn't open their eyes at a glance, especially the ponytail shape with compact hair, with a straight posture, revealing a heroic spirit. Even Shen Zhenghui, who was accustomed to seeing Tomoaki Aonuma, was a little attracted for a while.

Isn't the posture of her picking up the sword in the back to fascinate people? Shen Zhenghui muttered to himself in his heart. Tomoaki Aonuma did not come to the premiere because of his work, of course, it is not ruled out that Mitsumi Fukuda deliberately did not arrange it, but it is enough to have an image on the screen.

The main character enters this school in order to find and investigate a missing girl, and his father, a private detective, accepts such a mission and sends his son to this school. Of course, the high-sounding reason was that Sasaki-san had to be forced to transfer because he liked to fight at his previous school. In the movie, the teachers who are obscene, or heroic, or extremely smart "top" show fierce battles with students in the classroom, all kinds of exaggerated chalk and hidden weapon techniques are a little dizzying, and the footage of bullet time reflected by "Hacker Empire" also appears in this movie, which makes the audience intoxicated by "Hacker Empire" take the opportunity to satisfy their hunger, and it also shows that the style of this film is not too high - this is a popcorn movie.

Fortunately, Yuan Xiangren still took a lot of painstaking effort in the design of martial arts, Shen Zhenghui seemed to be a fresh person who broke into a strange world and didn't know the rules, and constantly went to contact his classmates and teachers, the purpose was to inquire about the girl he was looking for, so the whole story was shown from his perspective. The atmosphere of the whole school is very strange, the students form various clubs, against each other, and at the same time against the school, the mysterious power of the school is endless, Shen Zhenghui follows Aonuma Tomoaki, who seems to have a crush on him, and begins his own adventure in the school. (To be continued......)

PS: I'm glad that my book is being discussed again on the LK website, and no matter what the people discussing say, this dismal subscription book has finally increased a little bit more.
