Chapter 296: Disneyland

Bruce Lee's death was a great surprise to Tang Ning, so he could only help manage Bruce Lee's funeral affairs while instructing Jimmy to quickly keep Tang Long, who was Bruce Lee's stand-in, at least in the past two years, he could also use Bruce Lee's name to make some similar films, and this Tang Long was relatively close to Bruce Lee in terms of appearance and kung fu style, and he could temporarily replace him until Tang Ning cultivated a new kung fu superstar.

In fact, this Tang Long is not a Chinese, he is a Korean, his original name is Kim Tae-jung (the Korean name is??? ), is a master of taekwondo, his side is almost exactly the same as Bruce Lee, and in order to imitate Bruce Lee, he also deliberately practiced one-legged fast kicks and step-by-step side kicks, shooting from the side, almost fake.

As for cultivating a new kung fu superstar, this gave Tang Ning a bit of a headache, originally he wanted to wait until Jackie Chan matured, and Jackie Chan would take over the role in kung fu movies, although Jackie Chan's kung fu is incomparable with Bruce Lee, but his performance style is more flattering in the United States, and his popularity in Japan is unimaginably high. When he and Lin Fengjiao got married, there were female fans in Japan who committed suicide for this, and Takuya Kimura publicly admitted that Jackie Chan was his idol, and he must curl his legs when taking photos with Jackie Chan and dare not be higher than Jackie Chan. When popular actress Shoko Nakagawa saw Jackie Chan for the first time, she even knelt on the ground excitedly and cried silently

But the trouble is that at this time, Jackie Chan is just fifteen or sixteen years old, and he is still playing tricks, and Jet Li is only six or seven years old, so it is estimated that he has just apprenticed? Sammo Hung is very suitable for his age and kung fu, but his image and style are too different from Bruce Lee's to be held at all. In the end, Tang Ning could only choose to touch it slowly, and use this Tang Long to deal with it before.

After barely dealing with Bruce Lee's funeral, Downing complied with his agreement with his son and took his three children and a group of women to Los Angeles Disneyland in California. In fact, at this time, the largest Disney park in the world, Disneyland in Orlando, Florida, was under construction, so for the time being, there was only one such as Los Angeles, but even so, it was the most elaborate amusement park in the world at that time.

Watching the children have fun in Alice's Dream World and Donald Duck Mickey Mouse's Children's Temple, Downing suddenly came up with an idea, yes. If I'm not mistaken, it seems that there will be a Disneyland in Tokyo in the future, and if I think about it carefully, it is indeed like this, and there will be a total of five Disneylands in the future, one in Los Angeles, one in Orlando, one in Hong Kong, one in Shanghai, and this one in Tokyo.

In that case, why don't you just preemptively set up one in Guam, this thing will definitely make money anyway. So Downing began to contact the current Disney owner, Roy E. Disney (his father was called Roy O. Disney). Roy Jr. was the nephew of Disney founder Walt Disney, who died in 1966.

Xiao Roy is no stranger to Tang Ning, although he has no contact, but these big businessmen know each other, so as soon as he heard Tang Ning's invitation, he happily went. After the two met and exchanged pleasantries for a while, Little Roy asked curiously, "Mr. Downing, I heard that you want to build a Disneyland in Guam as well?" ”

Tang Ning nodded: "That's right." When I took my kids to Disneyland in Los Angeles the other day, I saw a lot of Asian friends. Considering Disney's popularity and the distance between the two states, I thought it would be a great idea to build a Disneyland in Asia, my island of Guam. ”

Little Roy frowned and said: "Mr. Downing, I need to remind you that building a Disneyland is a big investment, just the Los Angeles Disneyland you visited the day before yesterday, it took three years and 17 million dollars. Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to recoup your investment in Guam? After all, the current situation in Asia is not good. ”

Tang Ning thought for a moment and said: "For the time being, the situation in Asia is indeed not as good as that in Europe and the Americas, but I believe that there will be a relatively big change in three or five years, and the construction of the paradise will also take two or three years, and it should be about the same by then." And you've seen the success of my entertainment career in Guam, so you don't have to worry about that. ”

After some bargaining, the two finally reached a project to cooperate in the construction of Disneyland in Guam. Downing is responsible for 70% of the investment cost, and Roy Jr. is responsible for 30 percent, although Downing's investment is more, but Roy Jr. is authorized by Disney, and the value of this intangible asset is quite high.

As the first Disneyland in Asia, Tokyo Disneyland has a total of seven theme parks, and visitors can experience the nostalgia of the past at the World Market, which is modeled after the streets of the early 20th century in the United States. You can go to Tomorrowland, which is full of science and fantasy, for interstellar travel and a close encounter with Space Mountain; Visit the cottages where classic cartoon characters live in Cartoon City; You can go to the fantasy park centered on Cinderella Castle to experience the life and stories of the fairy tale world; There's also the Animal World, the American West, and the thrilling Adventure Park.

Tokyo Disneyland not only fully embraces American Disney culture, but also adds its own electronic audio and action devices to it, and the characters and animals in the fairy tale world in the park are vividly brought to life under the double effect of sound and light, and all kinds of beautiful, novel, exciting, weird, and terrifying scenes and things in fairy tales are also reproduced in the most realistic way under this effect.

Just as Downing began to make preparations for the construction of Guam Disneyland, news came from Takashi Sakamoto that the Red Army was moving again.

On November 5, 1969, the "Red Army faction" assembled at the Great Bodhisattva Pass in Shioyama City, Yamanashi Prefecture, for military training aimed at attacking the Prime Minister's official residence, and was later exposed and 53 people, including "Politburo members", were arrested. Subsequently, the speaker of the "Red Army faction", Takashi Shiomi, was also arrested. Since most of the principal cadres of the Red Army faction were arrested or wanted after these incidents, the "Red Army faction" organization was basically paralyzed. So the Red Army began to plan a large-scale operation, which became known as the "Yodo Hijacking Incident!" (To be continued.) )
