Chapter 518: The Dominance of Shadow Painting in the Clouds

Although the music scene in Xiangjiang is different from neon, the singer's promotional itinerary after his debut is similar.

Although there are not as many music programs as neon on in Xiangjiang, the scope of running is not small at all, because the market in Xiangjiang is too small, and you have to go out in order to sell records.

For example, Wanwan Province, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, where Chinese are concentrated.

On September 3, Hideki Hanyu's 'Cloud on the Cloud' took off from Xiangjiang and flew to Taoyuan International Airport in Wanwan Province.

Of course, the airport is not called that now.

Accompanying him this time was Zhou Huimin, who came to Wanwan Province to publicize.

When he finished communicating with Pan Disheng about the sale of stocks, he met with Shen Baoyingichi, who came to meet earlier than him, to discuss.

The other party came to Xiangjiang this time, not because of the stock market crash, but because of the cooperation plan proposed by Liu Luanxiong last time.

Eiichi Kamibo, who has been working less in Neon recently, learned that there were people here who wanted to cooperate, and when he felt interesting, he came to meet Liu Luanxiong in person.

However, judging from the conversation between Hanyu Hideki and Eichi Kambo, this guy was quite disappointed with the meeting with Liu Luanxiong, mainly because Liu Luanxiong's strength was too poor, and in the eyes of Eiichi Kambo, there was a little trouble.

But for the time being, Shen Bao Yingyi had nothing to do, so he decided to play with Liu Luanxiong out of boredom.

As for Hanyu Hideki, he just continued to arrange for people to keep an eye on Eichi Kambo, and after making sure that this guy did what he asked him to do, he didn't care how the other party handled the cooperation with Liu Luanxiong.

And after he was busy with Xiangjiang's private affairs, he set off for Wanwan.

The main purpose of his trip was to inspect the investment here, as well as to meet with the big leaders and try to discuss some things.

As for Zhou Huimin's entourage, it was just a coincidence.

This girl's record has just been released, even if it is supported by media resources on the cloud, but because the popularity is too low, she must personally run the promotion and play the song.

The first stop after Xiangjiang was Wanwan Province, and Hideki Hanyu took the little beauty with him.

The voyage from Heung Chiang to Wanwan Province takes just over an hour.

Along the way, Hui Min and Hanyu-san talked non-stop, with some excitement and some worry.

"My dear, you said that I went to Wanwan Province to participate in the show, will I be embarrassed by the host? And what if they ask me some tricky questions? There are Chinese versions of some songs that I'm not so familiar with......"

Hanyu Hideki in his seat was watching a letter with him, but his ears were full of Zhou Huimin's chatter, which made it a little difficult for him to concentrate.

The letter was sent from Europe and was from Anna E, Hachette Graphic Publishing House in France.

As for the content of the letters, most of them are about the proofreading of "Brigitte", and by the way, he praised the book fiercely, saying that it is a work of children's literature no less than "The Little Prince".

Looking at the compliment, Hideki Hanyu was a little embarrassed.

At the end of the letter, Anna said that Hachette Graphic would like to publish a French version of Brigitte in October.

Then in December, an English version of Brigitte was released.

However, in this era, Hachette Graphic Publishing House's global distribution channels were not as strong as those of later generations, so they wanted to discuss with Hanyu Hideki and find a partner to co-publish.

In the letter, Annai asked Hideki Hanyu to come to France in person and see if there were any changes to the final version of Brigitte.

There are still some trivial contents, and Hanyu Hideki didn't continue to watch it, after all, the more Zhou Huimin next to him talked, the more worried he became, and he was about to scare himself into the show.

Originally, it was the responsibility of the accompanying agent to comfort the artist.

After Zhou Huimin's debut, Cloud Entertainment naturally arranged an agent.

Even because of Hanyu Hideki's relationship, in addition to the agent, there are also two assistants, and now the popular king and queen of Xiangjiang is nothing more than this configuration.

In fact, this is not the final configuration, Hanyu Hideki has already instructed Marco to ask their security company to arrange a bodyguard as soon as possible.

After all, in today's era of Xiangjiang, there is still an undercurrent surging in private, although most of the people in the industry understand the rules, but they can't stand the kind of fools who don't have long brains.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki glanced at Zhou Huimin's agent who was sitting not far away, this is a young woman who was originally Chen Shufen's secretary.

After Chen Shufen established 'Stellar Entertainment' with the help of cloud entertainment, she now has to be in charge of Leslie Cheung, but also to operate Jacky Cheung, who has just been poached.

Therefore, after Hanyu Hideki handed over Zhou Huimin's brokerage affairs to him, Chen Shufen, who was really a little lacking in skills, could only send his right-hand man to take charge of Zhou Huimin.

However, in Hanyu Hideki's opinion, Chen Shufen's "right-hand man" was really a little bold, and after he looked at him, he immediately lowered his head in a little panic, not daring to look at him at all.

In this case, it is obviously hopeless to want this agent to appease Zhou Huimin.

So Hideki Hanyu can only come by himself.

"Don't think about it so much, how you promote in Xiangjiang, how you promote in Wanwan, there is nothing different between the two sides."

Zhou Huimin whispered, "But there are so many seniors in Xiangjiang who take care of me, and I don't know anyone in Wanwan." ”

As the first overseas market for cloud entertainment, Heungjiang has a strong presence in the industry, from the music industry to the film and television industry, all of which have their own strength and tentacles.

Even TVB is one of the major shareholders.

After Zhou Huimin signed a contract with Cloud Music, he met many seniors in the industry during the training, so the few days of publicity in Xiangjiang can be described as a fish in water, and someone will take care of him wherever he goes.

But now that she has come to Wanwan Province, she has a sense of helplessness that is strange and unreliable.

This feeling of the little beauty, Hideki Hanyu can more or less guess.

However, he did not directly comfort him, but said, "Since you have decided to be an artist, you can't just hide under the protection of the company forever, sooner or later you will have to come out and face the wind and rain alone."

Besides, the company also operates in Wanwan Province, and the first program you participated in was hosted by Zhang Xiaoyan, who is also a collaborator of the company.

With her taking care of you, you can rest assured and bold to participate in the show. ”

Speaking of this, Hideki Hanyu seemed to think of something again, and hurriedly advised, "Of course, you can't be too bold in your words, you still have to pay attention to the image that the company has formulated for you." ”

Hanyu Hideki was afraid that this girl would be like another time and space, and others asked her how to capture a man's heart, but this girl directly told the truth and gave birth to a man with a sentence.

"And what about the show after that?" Zhou Huimin asked curiously.

"Don't worry, the company must have said hello in advance, and no one will embarrass you."

Just kidding, Hideki Hanyu's business in Wanwan Province is not only in the entertainment industry, but now Genie Entertainment is a big financier in the advertising industry in Wanwan Province.

In the midst of such small talk, the plane had arrived at Taoyuan Airport unconsciously.

After the plane landed, there were already subordinates of the Wanwan Provincial Branch outside the terminal to pick up the plane.

Hideki Hanyu's visit this time can be regarded as a semi-official trip, so some officials from Wanwan Province greeted him, and even the media came to shoot and interview.

Fortunately, he did not announce the itinerary to the public, otherwise there would have been some book lovers coming.

After all, the Chinese version of his works still sells quite well in Wanwan Province.

When the official personnel appeared, it was naturally indispensable to have a reception banquet.

And this time, Hideki Hanyu could clearly feel that the atmosphere in Wanwan Province was different from the last time, and it seemed that some kind of depression had been released.

As for why this is so, he is naturally very clear.

Due to the influence of internal movements and external pressure, especially after the South Korean side accepted the constitutional reform, the restrictions were lifted two months ago.

And that's why Hideki Hanyu came here on purpose.

Influenced by historical reasons, some of the next leaders here not only have neon names, but also ...... ideas

Although Hanyu Hideki doesn't look down on these people and doesn't plan to get involved in certain things, it's no problem to use one or two to manage the upper echelons and help him make a little money.

Of course, in order to avoid the sudden collapse of this plane, there is no need to talk about the details of how to operate.

After expressing to the officials the idea of meeting with the big leader, today's reception banquet ended.

Get in the car and head towards the northern part of the Bay North area.

The last time Hideki Hanyu came to Wanwan, Zhou Huimin was also accompanied.

Looking at the scenery outside the car, the little beauty asked with some curiosity, "Won't we stay at the Maruyama Hotel last time?" ”

"No, I have already purchased a place to live in Wanbei City, which is in Yangmingshan in Beitou."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Huimin and didn't know where Yangmingshan looked at at all.

casually explained, "Ling is regarded as the Taiping Mountain of Xiangjiang." ”

"Is it a mansion in the mid-levels where rich people live?" Zhou Huimin asked.

Hideki Hanyu joked, "Of course, am I not rich?" ”

The house he asked his subordinates to buy in Yangmingshan, not far from the Amerika Association in the Bay, originally belonged to an official officer.

The house is smaller, but the land is larger.

After buying it, it has been renovated and remodeled, and although Hideki Hanyu has seen the photos, this is the first time he has been here.

He knew he had arrived as the car drove along the road into a high wall surrounded by greenery.

The subordinate pushed open the tall black iron gate, and the convoy drove in, and Marco led the bodyguards to inspect the house as usual, and only after confirming that there was no problem did he notify Hanyu Hideki to get out of the car.

Under the light of the night lights, Hanyu Hideki enters the eyes of a rather retro two-story western-style building.

After entering it, whether it is decoration or furniture, it has a retro feeling, as if entering a wealthy house in the Republic of China.

However, after renovation and remodeling, the interior of the house retains the original style while incorporating modern elements.

Walking up to the second floor, standing on a balcony that extends outward, Hideki Hanyu looks south, and the night view of Wanbei City comes into view.

There is no 101 in the bright light, but it is something that future generations have never seen.

——

The next day, Zhou Huimin began to work on her record promotion itinerary.

And Hideki Hanyu also started this inspection trip.

From north to south, he inspected all the factories invested by Genie Entertainment, as well as the seven Genie Show stores in Wanwan.

By the way, I also took a look at the Blockbuster video rental chain that had just entered the Wanwan market.

Due to the particularity of the market, Blockbuster's operation in Wanwan adopts the model of cooperative authorization, and the main partner is Cai Songlin, the owner of Wanwan Scholars Cinema.

In the original time and space, it was this person who invested in the Heung Kong Cinema Line next year, which contributed to the establishment of the Xinbao Cinema Line, and finally opened the last highlight period of the Hong Kong Film Market.

But in this plane, it's just Hideki Hanyu who has done the job.

It is precisely because of the cooperation with local forces that although BesTV has not been in the Wanwan market for a long time, it has developed very rapidly, and now the number of stores has exceeded 15.

On August 6, when Hideki Hanyu finished his trip to TSMC, he had just returned to his house in Yangmingshan and received a request from Cai Songlin to visit.

Hanyu Hideki was a little surprised when he heard this, although Blockbuster is cooperating with the other party, and he is also the boss of Blockbuster, but the person who is specifically responsible for Blockbuster and talks about cooperation with the other party is Hirokichi Ichihara.

Although he didn't know why Cai Songlin was looking for him, Hanyu Hideki still agreed to the other party's request to visit and directly invited the other party to meet him in Yangmingshan.

About half an hour later, Cai Songlin's driver was admitted to the hospital.

Out of politeness, Hideki Hanyu took Zhou Huimin to greet him at the door of the house.

Although Cai Songlin, who was wearing a suit, was over forty years old, he looked very energetic, and he had the temperament of a big man between his eyebrows.

On the other hand, Hanyu Hideki, who greeted him, wore gold-rimmed glasses on his face, and was young and handsome and elegant, like a recent college graduate.

Coupled with his own temperament, he feels more like a businessman than a literati to others.

Looking at Cai Songlin who walked to him, Hanyu Hideki welcomed with a smile, "Welcome to the Humble House." ”

Cai Songlin, who saw Hanyu Hideki for the first time, was immediately surprised by Hanyu's standard Chinese.

After all, Hanyu Hideki's tone, words and sentences, and demeanor when he spoke, it felt like a Chinese man than him.

However, after being surprised, Cai Songlin politely gave a visit gift, a bottle of champagne from a French winery.

"I haven't made an appointment, so I took the liberty to visit, and I hope Mr. Hanyu will forgive me."

"Mr. Cai is polite."

Hideki Hanyu said and took the champagne and handed it to Zhou Huimin beside him.

Cai Songlin glanced at Zhou Huimin, and immediately said with a smile, "I didn't know that Mr. Hanyu came to Wanwan with a female companion this time, so it was a bit rude not to bring a gift." ”

"Since Mr. Cai doesn't know, it's not rude, let's go into the house and talk."

Hanyu Hideki said, and led Cai Songlin into the house.

While the maid was pouring tea for them, Cai Songlin looked at the room for a while, and then said.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is ***'s house, he had an accident before, and he sold his capital, but he didn't expect this house to be purchased by Mr. Hanyu, it is indeed a good place."

Hearing Cai Songlin's words, Hanyu Hideki just said, "I don't know the person Mr. Cai said, I'm just a simple buyer." ”

"That's natural, although there have been a lot of things that have happened recently, but they are all local things, and it's normal for Mr. Hanyu not to know."

When Cai Songlin said this, he looked at Zhou Emin again and said, "Miss Zhou is a singer, I watched a TV show at home last night, and I happened to see Miss Zhou being interviewed." ”

"Vivian just debuted last week, and she has to be on TV more during her rookie period."

Seeing that Cai Songlin was talking about it, he just didn't explain his intentions, Hanyu Hideki was really too lazy to waste time with the other party, so he asked directly.

"Mr. Cai came to me today, shouldn't it be for Vivian, she has no plans to go to the film and television industry for the time being."

Cai Songlin is not only the boss of the Scholar Cinema Line, but also a well-known producer, and he is quite powerful in the film and television circles of Xiangjiang and Wanwan.

After Hanyu Hideki was revealed, Cai Songlin no longer hid it.

"Of course not, I took the liberty to visit Mr. Hanyu this time to discuss cooperation with him, I know that Crescent Cinemas has always wanted to enter Wanwan for development, and scholars are definitely the best collaborators."

Hanyu Hideki heard this, but he didn't wait for Cai Songlin to say how to cooperate, so he said bluntly, "I'm sorry, I don't manage the matter of Crescent Cinemas, if Mr. Cai wants to talk about cooperation, I can give you the contact information of the person in charge." ”

Due to policy reasons, the development of Crescent Cinema Line in Wanwan has indeed made no progress.

However, in this matter, Hanyu Hideki is not in a hurry at all.

Because he knows that after the liberation, the market in this area will soon open up.

And he still has a layout in Hollywood, with the help of the subsequent booming wave of globalization, it is not difficult for him to enter the cinema market in Wanwan, so it doesn't matter whether there is cooperation with scholars or not.

Wanwan's mainstream films, regardless of the laws of the market, pursued the so-called New Wave art, pursued the recognition of international film festivals, coupled with various official manipulations and counterproductive protection strategies, eventually led to a sharp decline in local films.

In the end, the Wanwan cinema market completely became a dumping ground for foreign films.

Scholar cinemas now seem to have a so-called local advantage.

Cai Songlin is in the Xiangjiang and Wanwan film circles, and now he is indeed a bigwig-level figure.

But what Hanyu Hideki runs is never a gain or loss of "one city and one place", nor is it a cooperation for the sake of immediate interests.

His layout, although rooted in the present, is rooted in the future.

In the face of the upcoming turbulent trend, the torrent of history, and the dumping of super capital mastered by Hideki Hanyu, the fall of the cinema market here has long been a doomed thing.

This is also the reason why Hideki Hanyu does not like to become a producer directly in many parts of Europe and Asia, except for neon and Hollywood, because the producers in these regions are different from Hollywood and will not end up standing in the upper reaches.

However, for a period of time in the future, Cloud Entertainment will still cooperate with the Curved Ontology filmmaker, so Hanyu Hideki didn't say anything to death.

Let the other party talk to Crescent Cinema first to see what the other party wants to do.

If he is responsible for such trivial matters, then the person in charge of the Crescent Moon Cinema Line should resign directly.

And Hanyu Hideki's refusal also made Cai Songlin breathe a sigh of relief.

The reason why he wanted to cooperate with Crescent Cinemas was to have a relationship with the forces behind Crescent Cinemas.

Recently, the situation in Wanwan has changed greatly, and Cai Songlin also wants to take scholars to seek change.

Originally, his idea was to invest in Xiangjiang Cinemas to intervene in the production market in Xiangjiang.

But now the cinema market in Xiangjiang is dominated by Asian cinemas, and behind Asian cinemas stands Crescent Cinemas.

Cai Songlin learned about it, only to find out that the sphere of influence of Crescent Cinemas has spanned the entire Eurasian and South American markets, and is still trying to enter the North American market.

Continuing to go deeper, he saw a media group with a layout all over the world behind the Crescent Cinema Line.

Cloud Entertainment Group.

His first instinct was to find a way to hug this thigh.

And then there was today's visit.

So as long as Hideki Hanyu doesn't refuse directly, then he still has a chance.

Next, Cai Songlin said something else.

Before saying goodbye, he glanced at Hideki Hanyu and Zhou Huimin beside him, and thought of some rumors about Hideki Hanyu, so he tried to make an invitation.

"Mr. Hanyu, tomorrow I will hold a banquet at home, I wonder if Mr. Hanyu can participate in it."

"I'm sorry, I'm going to visit the big leader at the official residence tomorrow, and then it's time to return to Neon, so I really can't find time to attend Mr. Cai's party."

Hearing that Hanyu Hideki was going to visit the big leader, Cai Songlin finally realized that he was really not at the same level as the young man in front of him.

Today, Hanyu Hideki agreed to let him come to the door, which is already very face-saving for him.

In the end, Cai Songlin could only take the contact information given by Hanyu Hideki and leave.

After sending Cai Songlin away, Hideki Hanyu carefully considered the development of Crescent Cinemas in Wanwan, and then made a phone call to Neon and explained some things.

When he hung up the phone, he found that Zhou Huimin was gone.

After asking the maid where Zhou Huimin went, she got an answer in the hot spring pool on the first floor.

Although Hideki Hanyu's house does not have a hot spring, Yangmingshan does, which makes Hideki Hanyu expand an indoor hot spring pool in the renovation of the first floor.

As for the hot spring water, you can just transport it when you use it.

In the last few days, he has been living here, and the newly built hot spring pool has remained full.

Thinking of his inspection work in the past few days, Zhou Huimin participated in the show everywhere, and the two didn't get along very well, plus he will return to Neon tomorrow.

Hideki Hanyu immediately asked the maid to rest early.

He himself changed into a bathrobe and walked towards the hot spring pool on the first floor.

As the so-called Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, today's last time to get along cannot be wasted.

……

The next day, Hideki Hanyu went to the official residence to meet the big leader.

The other party was busy with official business, so he only gave him a little time.

Hideki Hanyu came this time, naturally, not to gossip.

Cloud entertainment has always wanted to enter the media market of Wanwan, but it has never been able to achieve it due to official policies.

Now in the midst of great changes, Hideki Hanyu took the opportunity to make requests, such as cloud entertainment entering the local TV business, etc.

It's just a meeting, and naturally it is impossible to get immediate results.

And Hideki Hanyu will not give up on this, and has put forward a series of ideas for investment and cooperation.

All he wanted to do was to cook the raw rice first.

When those people come to power in the future, if they want to make changes, it will not be so easy when interests are involved.

In this way, Hideki Hanyu, who had nothing for the time being after the meeting, sent Zhou Huimin on the plane to Xiangjiang, and returned to Neon on the cloud.

On the afternoon of September 7, the Clouds landed at Haneda International Airport.

Tomoe Ishihara came to pick up the plane and reported to Hideki Hanyu when they met.

"Hanyu-sensei, the TGC autumn/winter fashion show is in the final rehearsal at the Budokan today, is Hanyu-sensei going to the scene?"

Hanyu Hideki asked, "Is it still Ito-san who is the overseer this time?" ”

Tomoe Ishihara replied, "No, Director Ito has been preparing for the filming of his brutal girlfriend recently, and the on-site supervisor of this TGC autumn and winter fashion show is Mr. Imaichiya. ”

Hideki Hanyu was a little surprised, "It turned out to be him." ”

Jinyigu is the first group of supervisors to be trained after Cloud Entertainment entered the advertising production business, and he is good at shooting luxury advertisements.

However, the audience is most familiar with Imagani is the identity of the supervisor of the other party's "Boys Over Flowers" series.

This guy didn't prepare well for the theatrical version of "Boys Over Flowers", and was actually assigned to be in charge of TGC's autumn and winter fashion show.

It can be seen that Asako Hirohashi still attaches great importance to TGC.

Thinking of this, he said to Marko, who was driving, "Marko, let's go to the Budokan and have a look." ”

Then he continued to ask, "When I left Neon last month, Hachiko, the loyal dog painted in the cloud, had already been released, how is the box office now?" ”

Tomoe Ishihara replied, "According to the latest data, the box office has exceeded 1.2 billion yen. ”

Hearing this box office, Hideki Hanyu nodded with satisfaction.

Originally, in history, the box office of this movie in the neon port reached 5.4 billion yen, and it was the box office champion of this year's neon local films.

Although it is not as good as the terrifying 10 billion local box office of "The Tale of the Cat".

But with neon local films on the wane, that number is already a miracle.

Even if Hollywood movies are counted, they are only behind "Top Gun", which was released in December last year and starred Tom Tom.

However, in this time and space, the box office of 1.2 billion in the first week represents one thing, relying on the promotion of the cloud system and the support of the theater chain, the box office of this "Loyal Dog Hachiko" will definitely surpass another time and space, and it may not be possible to kill Tom in the end.

Of course, the most important thing is that with this film as the foundation, the cloud film can continue to consolidate its dominance in the neon film market.

Hanyu Hideki is also very helpless, the cloud film is already one of the more crotch-pulling subsidiaries in the cloud department, but it can still rank in the first echelon outside, only behind Toho.

In order to continue to ensure the advantages of cloud screening, the development of Crescent Cinema cannot be stopped.

Look at the neon power in the film industry in later generations, why Dongbao can dominate the family, and its strong local distribution strength is inseparable from it.

In this time and space, the current Toho is of course still very powerful.

But in the long run, with Hideki Hanyu, the open traverser leader, on the clouds, surpassing Toho is just around the corner, and the gap will definitely widen.

Because even in times of adversity, Cloud Screening and Crescent Cinemas are more ambitious, determined, pioneering, and long-term than those old studios in the twilight of Neon.

The shareholders behind those studios are complex, and they seem to be huge and powerful, but on the other hand, they are not a drag.

For the sake of their own interests, multiple forces hinder each other in decision-making, which may prevent enterprises from making mistakes and stabilize their operations.

However, it will also lead to the fact that it is always difficult for enterprises to use their strength in one place during the critical period when they need to develop with determination, and they are always unable to give up their immediate interests for long-term planning.

But Hanyu Hideki is different, he can press the Crescent Cinema Line rather not make a profit, not dividends, and continue to expand, whether it is neon locally or overseas.

After the acquisition of Asian cinemas, Hideki Hanyu further strengthened his control over Crescent Cinemas.

Recently, it has begun to strip off the small theater that it relied on when it first made a fortune.

Hanyu Hideki understands that at the beginning, he was able to rely on these small theaters to grow rapidly, but after the scale and chaining, these small theaters became a burden to the theater chain.

After doing this, Hanyu took advantage of the neon stock market bubble to continue issuing new shares, raising funds not only for expansion, but also to modernize theaters.

For example, multi-cinema halls, or better stereoscopic screening halls and so on.

Next, there is the investment in new technologies, such as IMAX, 3D technology, and so on.

These decisions, which cause losses in a short period of time and do not see profits, are basically impossible to get approval from the board of directors of other neon film companies.

But that's not a problem here.

And every small lead, in the next era, will bring a huge advantage to the enterprise.

When Hideki Hanyu was thinking about the future development of cloud screening and Crescent Cinemas, Tomoe Ishihara next to him reported another thing.

"Just after Mr. Hanyu left Neon, a gentleman named Deng Jiaming brought several models from Xiangjiang to participate in the rehearsal of this TGC autumn and winter fashion show."
