Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 535 Like a fake devil

At the film forum before the awards ceremony, Hideki Hanyu and Shinsuke Ito sat in his seats.

Needless to say, Shinsuke Ito's title is definitely director.

Hideki Hanyu looked at his name tag curiously

Only then did I realize that the title given to him by the organizer was producer and screenwriter.

At this time, the event has not yet started, and practitioners from all over the world are entering the venue one after another. Some are preparing to participate in the event on the stage, while others are sitting below to listen to the lecture.

There were also people who were already familiar with each other. They immediately started talking familiarly after entering the venue, treating the event as a social venue.

Seeing that there was still half an hour before the event started, Hanyu Hideki, who was idle and bored, asked his assistant Ishihara Chie to bring the elf handheld device, and he lowered his head and started playing.

But as one of the big guys behind the scenes in the neon entertainment industry, it was obviously impossible for him to be quiet on an occasion like today.

As soon as he got the handheld device, someone immediately came to say hello to him.

Regarding this situation, Hanyu Hideki was very helpless.

But the moment Feng Xiaogang turned around, his eyes saw Hideki Hanyu who was talking to someone on the stage, and he suddenly remembered an idea he had when he came.

America Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Just when Gu Changwei was wondering what Feng Xiaogang wanted to do, Feng Xiaogang spoke to Director Wu first.

The last time Hideki Hanyu inspected the market as an investor, he was taken seriously in the country and even received an interview from a big leader.

The other party's company has started cooperation with Yangma very early.

So the people who came to greet him were not only practitioners in the neon entertainment industry.

If it weren't for the cloud satellite TV, he would never have agreed. With this free time, wouldn't it be comfortable to play with the cat at home?

When the crew of "Journey to the West" came to Chang'an for promotion at the beginning of the year, he and Director Yang met once. During the chat, the other party frequently mentioned Hanyu Hideki's help to the crew of "Journey to the West".

In addition, the other party himself is a famous writer and has considerable influence in the world. Moreover, the company founded by the other party controls huge media resources in Asia and even Europe. Therefore, the influence at the upper level is not comparable to that of ordinary foreign guests. of.

He stopped leaving and grabbed Gu Changwei who was about to leave.

Of course, the most important thing is that in addition to his career in the media industry, the other party is also very successful in other businesses, and he is a veritable super rich man.

Feng Xiaogang took in Wu Tianming's words. After answering, he lowered his voice and said, "Director Wu, since we saw him, I think we should go up and say hello."

He was obviously here to participate in the event, but he felt even busier than the organizer.

Relying on the power of capital, Hideki Hanyu has extended his tentacles of power all over the world.

After so many years of assistance, Director Yang is not the only one who has received help.

It is the "academy" that is most often mentioned by industry insiders during the North American film awards season. The famous Academy Awards are hosted by the America Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

As the director of Chang'an Film Studio, Wu Tianming had heard about Hideki Hanyu to some extent.

The key is that the rich man Hideki Hanyu has also been committed to investing in the south.

"He is the boss of Yunshang Satellite TV, Hideki Hanyu."

Then he answered, "Is he the young man talking to the film festival jury chairman Gregory Peck? He looks good. Is he a popular actor from Neon?"

However, Wu Tianming's guess was not yet confirmed, but he said angrily to Gu Changwei, "Just tell me who it is, why do you have anything to do with me?"

"Director Wu, that's not an actor. Besides, which Neon actor is qualified? Let the chairman of the America Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences pay a visit in person."

Immediately afterwards, an endless stream of visitors forced him to put down his cell phone.

As soon as Wu Tianming said this, before Feng Xiaogang could speak, Gu Changwei on the side couldn't help but explain.

The young man on the stage who was chatting happily with Gregory Peck looked younger than his daughter, which made it really difficult for him to connect him with the identity of Hanyu Hideki.

Of course, their final investment of US$200 million did not let domestic attention go to waste.

Although Wu Tianming was confused as to why Feng Xiaogang said this, he still looked up at the stands.

The crew of "Journey to the West" is just the tip of the iceberg of all the assistance provided by the other party.

Just at this time, Wu Tianming and his party, who came from the Shinagawa District Technical Exchange Group Apartment, finally arrived at the event site.

That's why he doesn't like to participate in such activities.

It is said that it is cooperation, but in fact it should be said that it is technical and financial assistance.

Fortunately, as the event got closer, most of the people who wanted to participate had arrived, and the number of visitors to Hideki Hanyu gradually decreased.

"Director Wu, have you seen the young man wearing glasses on the stage?"

As soon as Gu Changwei said this, Wu Tianming looked at Hanyu Hideki carefully and felt that he looked familiar inexplicably, as if he vaguely thought of something.

This is also the reason why Wu Tianming looked familiar to Hanyu Hideki just now.

For a time, the excitement around him far exceeded that of Ito Shinsuke.

Even though Wu Tianming had already made some guesses, he was still inevitably surprised when he heard Hanyu Hideki's name.

After all, Shinsuke Ito's influence is limited to neon.

After taking the four people to sit down, Feng Xiaogang and Gu Changwei were ready to go about their work.

These matters were reported by Yang Ma.

It's just that he didn't read the news very carefully, so he didn't have a deep impression of Hanyu Hideki.

At this time, Wu Tianming felt that Feng Xiaogang's words made sense.

After all, this time he led the team to participate in the Tokyo International Film Festival, and he did receive care and help from Yunshang Satellite TV. He must thank the owner Hideki Hanyu both emotionally and rationally.

Thinking of this, Wu Tianming took advantage of the fact that the event hadn't started yet and called the rest of the crew to prepare to thank Hideki Hanyu.

Feng Xiaogang immediately suggested, "I have had a few chats with Mr. Hanyu at the reception banquet of the exchange group before. Let me introduce Director Wu this time."

"Thank you so much Xiaogang."

Regarding Feng Xiaogang's suggestion, Wu Tianming thought it was good. After all, it was better for someone to introduce him than for them to go up and say hello rashly.

In this way, under the leadership of Feng Xiaogang, the four members of the "Old Well" crew and Gu Changwei walked towards the stage together.

Nowadays, the event site is full of people interacting with each other, so the collective action of a few of them does not appear to be out of the ordinary.

However, after several people walked off the stage, they did not immediately go up to look for Hanyu Hideki.

Because the conversation between Gregory Peck and Hideki Hanyu was not over yet.

In the team, Wu Tianming asked Gu Changwei beside him in a low voice with some curiosity, "You said that this Gregory Peck is obviously a big shot in Hollywood, why is he so polite to Mr. Hanyu?"

After the words fell, Gu Changwei shook his head, saying that he didn't know.

But Feng Xiaogang, who was good at sneaking around and was already familiar with the ups and downs of Yunshang Satellite TV, immediately answered in a low voice.

"I heard some news about this from my Neon colleagues at the TV station. It is said that Mr. Hanyu also has a lot of investments in America. Now the largest video rental store in America is his company, and he founded it. Game company, also a partner of Hollywood movie companies.”

Hearing that Hideki Hanyu was so powerful in Hollywood, Wu Tianming couldn't help but sigh, "In this way, Mr. Hanyu is considered a big shot in Hollywood."

"That's not true. His Yunshang Entertainment Group has a listed theater chain company called Crescent Cinemas. It is not only the largest theater chain company in Asia, but has also invested in the theater chain industry in Australia, Europe and other regions.

And recently I often hear some Yunshang Movie employees talking about it, saying that because America’s Vertical Business Act has taken effect, Crescent Cinemas is preparing to enter the America’s market, and it seems that it plans to acquire America’s second largest theater chain. . "

When Feng Xiaogang said this, Wu Tianming had no idea what to say.

The young man in front of him, who looked younger than his daughter and more handsome than a star, was simply a big shot who would shock the film industry all over the world.

Coupled with the fact that the other party is highly regarded by the upper class in the country, as well as being a world cultural celebrity and a super rich man, Wu Tianming, who is nearly fifty years old and is used to seeing big waves, can't help but feel a little nervous about the upcoming meeting.

At this moment, the actress Liang Yujin in their group suddenly asked in a low voice.

"I see that the name tag in front of him says producer and screenwriter. Is he also involved in film projects?"

Gu Changwei, who was standing next to him, explained, "I heard from an employee of Yunying Animation that when he started his business in the early days, he would also participate in the work, adapting movies from his own novels, and even won the Neon Academy Award for Best Screenplay."

At the end, Gu Changwei did not forget to make an analogy, "Neon's Academy Award is equivalent to America's Oscar."

However, after Gu Changwei finished speaking, Liang Yujin was surprised when Feng Xiaogang spoke again before he could ask the question.

"Mr. Hanyu has many identities. He is not only a writer and screenwriter, he is also very good at writing songs. Not only has he won the sales championship for several years, he has won more awards than he can count. The song "Thousands of People" sung by Xiangjiang Was he the one who wrote Qian Que Ge?"

"Is this the song Priscilla Chan sang? He actually wrote it!"

At this time, the two actresses were shocked together.

It was obvious that they had all heard the song.

Seeing the surprised looks of the two women looking at Hideki Hanyu, Feng Xiaogang was not surprised at all.

You need money, you need talent, you need good looks.

No wonder the neon media always likes to call Hideki Hanyu a romantic talent.

After all, what woman wouldn't like such a man.

Even if Hanyu Hideki does nothing, countless women will probably pounce on him.

Thinking of this, Feng Xiaogang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is how Hideki Hanyu lives, and at most he can only vent his anger.

Compared to appearance, Feng Xiaogang felt that unless he was reincarnated, he would have no hope of catching up with Hideki Hanyu in this life.

However, in terms of talents, he still boasts a lot.

If he could make a career after returning to China, he would not expect to catch up with Hideki Hanyu in terms of wealth, but he would be satisfied as long as he could be a rich man.

This overseas exchange also completely opened his horizons.

Compared with the prosperity of the entertainment industry abroad, the domestic industry can be described as completely blank.

Blank space represents opportunity.

Now that Feng Xiaogang has seen it, he will definitely not miss it.

And in his opinion, participating in the exchange group broadens more than just his horizons.

The team members who came together got to know each other day and night, learned skills here, and gained knowledge. They are all potential connections when they return to China.

Of course, if you want to do something when you go back, you will naturally need support.

And the Hanyu Hideki in front of him was an unprecedented golden thigh.

As long as he can build a little relationship and the other party "supports" him a little, success will be just around the corner.

And the reason why he suggested Wu Tianming come to see Hanyu Hideki today was precisely for this purpose.

He had to test Hanyu Hideki's attitude towards investment.

Just as Feng Xiaogang was thinking about it secretly, the conversation between Gregory Peck and Hideki Hanyu had ended.

Feng Xiaogang immediately calmed down his expression and called Wu Tianming and others to walk towards Hanyu Hideki.

After arriving, Feng Xiaogang immediately put on a smile and said to Hanyu Hideki.

"Hello, Mr. Hanyu, I am Feng Xiaogang, a member of the China Technical Exchange Group of Yunshang Satellite TV. I am bringing the crew from China to the film festival today. This is director Wu Tianming. He is also the director of Chang'an Film Studio, and …”

Feng Xiaogang introduced everyone eloquently, and then explained the reason for coming to visit this time, which was to thank Yunshang Satellite TV for taking care of them.

However, after his words reached the ears of Wu Tianming and others besides Gu Changwei, they immediately became a little confused. Because Feng Xiaogang spoke Mandarin.

Moreover, there was obviously no translator next to Hanyu Hideki.

But the doubts they had just raised disappeared as soon as Hanyu Hideki's answer came out.

Because it is a standard Mandarin than all of them.

Moreover, both his speech and temperament were completely different from the Neon Man they had seen before.

There is no such stiff and false politeness.

Instead, there is a calmness and sincerity that makes people feel comfortable.

"Hello everyone, I'm Mr. Hanyu, nice to meet you."

Hanyu Hideki took the initiative to stand up and shook hands with everyone in front of him.

His eyes swept over the people in front of him, and the feeling in his heart could only be described as wonderful.

Needless to say, Wu Tianming, a veteran of Chang'an Film Studio, the current "Old Well" and the future "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix" are both rare masterpieces.

Looking at Feng Xiaogang, whom we have seen before, he can be said to be the king of commercial films in the early mainland film market.

As for the left and right guardians standing on both sides of Wu Tianming.

The one on the left with medium-long hair and a youthful and artistic temperament is Gu Changwei.

Taken together, this director's films are basically the next stage of the entire Chinese film industry.

"The King of Children", "Red Sorghum", "Farewell My Concubine", "Sunny Day"...

As for the man on the right, who has short stubbled hair and a face with ridges and grooves, and looks like an old farmer from the northwest, there is no need to elaborate on the glory he has achieved.

It can be said that none of the other Chinese directors' honors can beat this one.

Whether it is movies or other aspects, his reputation as a national teacher is well deserved.

As for the last two actresses, he only knew that Liang Yujin was from Pearl Film Studio and worked in the same company as his sister-in-law.

As for the other lady who went to America to pick up trash, Hideki Hanyu was too lazy to say anything.

At this moment, looking at these people in front of him, he seemed to see the future history of Chinese films.

There is a feeling that the people and things in the story appear from time and space.

Although Hanyu Hideki was very interested in several people, he was limited by time and could only say a few simple polite words.

It has to be said that it was an unexpected fate that Director Wu moved into the apartment of the technical exchange group in order to save money.

However, just as the two parties finished their polite greetings and Wu Tianming left with everyone, Feng Xiaogang, who was responsible for the introduction, grabbed Zhang Yimou, who lived with him.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yimou asked with some confusion.

"Isn't your movie short of funds? Do you want to ask Mr. Hanyu about it?"

Zhang Yimou, who was worrying about the funds for filming, heard this and suddenly felt a little moved, "Is it okay?"

Feng Xiaogang said, "Why not? As for the small amount of funds you lack, people are not talking about it. If it happens, you can't start filming immediately when you return to China."

Zhang Yimou wanted to agree for a moment, but soon he said to Feng Xiaogang with a face of embarrassment, "My movie is about killing Japanese soldiers. Are you sure a neon man will invest in it?"

"Uh--"

Feng Xiaogang was stunned for a moment.

He only knew that Zhang Yimou's movie was short of funds, but he didn't understand what the movie was about. Now that he heard the content, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

However, Feng Xiaogang's dilemma only lasted for a moment.

Originally, he wanted to use Zhang Yimou's film to raise funds and test whether Hanyu Hideki was interested in investing in domestic film and television drama projects.

If Zhang Yimou can succeed, it proves that it is possible for him too.

He has gained vision, the market has seen it, and he has accumulated connections. If he can still get financial support from Hanyu Hideki, he will be able to take off soon after he returns to China.

Therefore, even if the content of Zhang Yimou's movie embarrasses him, he is now ready to take action.

"It's okay. Just follow me later. I'm more familiar with Mr. Hanyu after all. I'll ask you later. You won't lose anything whether it succeeds or not."

"Brother, you are so interesting."

Seeing Feng Xiaogang doing so much to help him raise funds, Zhang Yimou couldn't help but praise him.

"Brother Zhang, please stop boasting. The event will start soon. Let's go and ask."

As soon as Feng Xiaogang finished speaking, he took Zhang Yimou to find Hanyu Hideki again.

Hanyu Hideki was taking advantage of the free time when no one was visiting to discuss with Shinsuke Ito what he would say when the event started.

As a result, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Feng Xiaogang, who was smiling with a smile on his face, walking over with the national master who looked a little nervous.

This scene made Hideki Hanyu very interesting.

Although there is no solid evidence of their past lives, everyone knows that the relationship between these two big names in the Chinese film industry is actually very average in private.

But in today's time and space, the relationship between the two seems to be pretty good.

Feng Xiaogang came over and said immediately, "Mr. Hanyu, I have something to tell you."

"Please say."

"Although my brother Zhang is attending the Tokyo International Film Festival as an actor, he is actually a photographer and director. He has recently prepared a good film project, but there are still some gaps in funds. I don’t know if Mr. Hanyu is interested in investing.”

After listening to Feng Xiaogang's words, Hanyu Hideki did not agree immediately, but asked first, "Can you briefly tell me what type of project it is?"

Zhang Yimou's voice came, "It's a movie adapted from a novel called Red Sorghum."

Hearing the answer from the master, Hideki Hanyu thought that it was indeed the master's famous work as a director.

When he met the national master just now, he thought that the filming of the movie had already started, but now it seems that it has not yet, and it has not even secured funds.

As soon as Zhang Yimou finished speaking, Feng Xiaogang began to explain nervously, "The content of this novel... is actually... and..."

Seeing that Feng Xiaogang was stammering and embarrassed to speak out.

Hideki Hanyu smiled slightly and said, "I read this novel in China last year. The author's name is Mo Yan."

"what?!"

Hanyu Hideki's words caught Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang off guard. The two looked at each other, not knowing what to say at all.

They anticipated many possibilities, but they did not expect that Hideki Hanyu had read this novel.

When Hanyu Hideki saw the two people's looks, he really couldn't explain to them that he actually had a Chinese soul in his bones and didn't care about killing Japanese or not.

So all I can say is, "The novel is very exciting. You don't need to worry about the content. I don't care."

"That……"

Feng Xiaogang saw that Hanyu Hideki didn't care about killing Japanese soldiers at all, so he immediately wanted to ask about investment.

As a result, before I could say anything, the staff at the event came over to remind me.

"Gentlemen, the event is about to begin."

Seeing this situation, Hanyu Hideki could only say to the two of them, "There is no rush to invest. I don't know if you are free tonight. I would like to treat you and the entire crew to a casual meal to show your friendship as a landlord."

As soon as Hanyu Hideki said this, Feng Xiaogang and the Imperial Master showed joy on their faces, and they happily accepted the invitation.

After the two of them walked off the stage, Feng Xiaogang immediately said excitedly to Zhang Yimou, "You see what I said is right. It will work out once you try it. Mr. Hanyu is quite easy to talk to."

"I just said that I would treat guests to dinner, but I didn't say that I would definitely invest." The older Zhang Yimou was in a calm mood and was not as excited as Feng Xiaogang.

"That's right, you can't be happy too early."

After Feng Xiaogang finished speaking, he thought of his future plans and couldn't help but ask Zhang Yimou, "What do you think of this gentleman?"

"He's a nice guy, but he's just like a fake devil."

The Imperial Master's answer was concise and to the point.

……

After Feng Xiaogang and the National Master left, the forum activities on the last day of the Tokyo International Film Festival began.

The wait was a bit long, but the process was very tedious.

Some people are responsible for discussing content creation, some are responsible for discussing communication, and some are responsible for discussing the market.

As for Hanyu Hideki, as the boss, he silently watched everyone "pretend".

In fact, at the beginning of the event, the young female host wanted to invite Hideki Hanyu to express his opinion on a topic that Hanyu Hideki didn't like, but was frightened by his serious look and took it back.

As a result, after the whole show, the female host never looked at Hanyu Hideki again.

Even with some prepared topics, Hanyu Hideki failed to participate in the end.

Hanyu Hideki was very happy because it saved his spit.

At the end of the event, Shinsuke Ito smiled bitterly at Hideki Hanyu and said, "Hanyu-san, you scared that little girl."

"I'm just not interested in the first topic. I didn't mean to scare her."

Hanyu Hideki said helplessly.

"I know you are telling the truth, but you should be more careful in the future. With your current status, sometimes your unconscious actions can be a disaster for others."

After Ito Shinsuke finished speaking, he looked at the female host in the distance, "For example, this host, if people misunderstand that you don't like her, I'm afraid she won't be able to stay in the entertainment industry anymore."

"Hey, I'll pay attention."

Hideki Hanyu sighed and understood that Shinsuke Ito was right. Now he has too much influence and involves many interests. He must be treated with caution whether he is dealing with people or things.

Because often his words will be over-interpreted by many people, resulting in bad consequences for him or others.

"Let's go, it's time to go to the awards hall of the main competition unit. I'll ask someone to say hello to the female host. Don't worry, Hanyu-san."

Shinsuke Ito has been in the circle all year round, so he naturally knows more about how to do certain things than Hideki Hanyu.

"Ito-san, go ahead. I need to make a phone call."

Hideki Hanyu said goodbye to Shinsuke Ito, asked his assistant for a mobile phone, and called Chiharu Ono in Chiyoda Ward.

After the call was connected, he asked directly, "Do you have any reservations at the restaurant tonight?"

Ono Chiharu replied, "Not yet."

Hanyu Hideki said, "Then leave it to me. I have to entertain guests in the evening. Prepare more ingredients and the guests will have larger appetites."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you."

Ono Chiharu ended the call with a happy tone.

After hanging up the phone, Hanyu Hideki ordered his assistant to contact Wu Tianming and his party, so as not to be unable to find anyone after the award ceremony.

After finishing these tasks, he walked towards the exhibition hall of the main competition unit.
