Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 574: Unprecedented Box Office, It's the Overlord

X From Japan band.

This is the band that later became X-Japan.

This band plays an important role in the history of neon rock music.

Music, at first, was just music.

However, with the development of technology and the emergence of visual media such as television and videotapes, musicians feel that in addition to music, they can also use visual impact to spread musical concepts.

In Europe and the United States, the so-called Yin-Yang rock, exaggerated rock, and glam rock genres were born one after another.

The band X-Japan inherited and absorbed these styles, creating a new category in Japan.

This is what is commonly known as the "visual rock band".

With striking make-up, dramatic hairstyles and elaborate costumes, visual rock bands have nothing to do with the genre of music and are simply an outward expression of style.

The X-Japan band is regarded as the originator of visual kei in later generations.

But there were actually many bands with similar styles at the same time.

It can only be said that among these bands, X-Japan was the most successful, and then became the leader of the neon visual trend.

Indeed, it is hard not to attract attention when looking at five men on the stage with feminine and exaggerated makeup singing wild heavy metal rock music.

Especially the drummer at the back, who had an androgynous temperament that was difficult to tell.

Hanyu Hideki naturally knew that this was the captain of the X-Japan band, Hayashi Yoshiki.

The appearance of this person, together with another person named Hideto Takarai, can be said to have led to the styling trend of Japanese male hostess in later generations.

(Lin Jiashu's daily photos and pictures)

It was under the leadership of Hayashi Yoshiki that the X-Japan band discovered an underground album before their official debut. It is said that the album sold 300,000 copies, which attracted major mainstream record companies to compete for it.

Later, even after signing with Sony, they soon established their own copyright company after the contract expired and took control of the copyright of X-Japan's songs.

It can be said that Lin Jiashu, who came from a wealthy family, is a rare artist in the Japanese music scene who not only has talent but also has a very good business acumen.

Of course, people in China know more about Lin Jiashu.

Or his girlfriend, Shizuka Kudo.

This pair can be considered a scumbag man and a scumbag woman, but they are also very talented and beautiful.

Later, Shizuka Kudo realized that she could not control the playboy Hayashi Yoshiki, so she took the initiative to kick Hayashi Yoshiki out and got involved with Takuya Kimura, who was at the peak of his career in Japanese dramas at the time.

But what makes Shizuka Kudo so smart is this.

Even though she kicked Lin Jiashu out, she still maintained a close friendship with him, and many years later, Lin Jiashu still treated her as his sister.

You can't help but accept this level.

If women like Akina Nakamori and Noriko Sakai had one-third of the ability of Shizuka Kudo, their lives would not have ended up so miserable.

Among the predecessors of the 1980s, only Seiko Matsuda can compete with her.

Of course, if we only talk about the status in the Japanese entertainment industry.

Kudo Shizuka can never catch up with Hayashi Yoshiki even if she tries her best.

After all, in the Japanese entertainment industry, the status gap between idols and singer-songwriters is still very large.

What's more, the X-Japan band led by Hayashi Yoshiki is leading an era and creating a genre.

Neon visual rock is one of the most successful cultural concepts exported by the Neon music scene.

Imitators exist not only in Europe and the United States.

The styles of Korean boy bands in later generations have more or less referenced the characteristics of the visual kei style.

What's more, the commercial value of the X-Japan band itself is also amazing.

Total record sales exceeded 14 million.

After becoming famous, the annual revenue from touring exceeded tens of billions of yen.

In this case, even though it was known that the X-Japan band was not a law-abiding band and would often make some extremely willful moves, after signing a contract with CBS Sony in another time and space, it often caused unrest in Sony.

And the most bizarre thing is that the five members of the X-Japan band were signed to four agencies.

The fact that the lead singer of the band quit later on cannot be said to have nothing to do with this.

But even so, Hideki Hanyu still felt it necessary to contact these people.

Making money is, of course, one thing.

But more importantly, X-Japan is now a flagship band in the Japanese underground music scene.

Moreover, X-Japan also likes to cultivate and support younger generations. GLAY, another legendary band in Japan in later generations, was supported by X-Japan.

If they can sign the X-Japan band, they will not only make money, but also establish a unique authority for Cloud Music in the hearts of neon rock fans, and also attract other bands to invest.

However, compared to Hideki Hanyu, Akina Nakamori is not so enthusiastic about the X-Japan band in front of her.

After all, it is a heavy metal rock style that can be described as "the howling of ghosts and wolves", extremely radical and hysterical.

It is completely different from the Citypop music that Akina Nakamori insists on, which is now the mainstream in Japan.

Without even waiting for the "noisy" music of the X-Japan band to end, Akina Nakamori pulled Hanyu Hideki and said, "Hanyu-kun, let's go backstage to see Yoshida Miwa, okay?"

"Okay." Hanyu Hideki agreed.

To be honest, he himself doesn't appreciate the musical style of the band X-Japan.

Then, the two left the booth and entered the backstage area of ​​LiveHouse together.

Because Hanyu Real Estate was willing to invest in the "Fiery" LiveHouse, the backstage rest area is very well equipped.

Although a separate lounge is not available, the lounge area is furnished with individual sofa seats, and enough space is reserved in the middle for placing musical instruments, making it convenient for discussions between band members.

When Hideki Hanyu and Akina Nakamori walked in accompanied by the LiveHouse manager, they saw that in addition to Miwa Yoshida, there were three other bands waiting.

However, Hideki Hanyu has no impression of these three bands.

But their appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone backstage.

As expected, these people's reaction was naturally surprise.

Akina Nakamori is the one and only queen of the Japanese music scene today.

Not to mention Hideki Hanyu, who is one of the controllers at the top of the pyramid of the Japanese entertainment industry.

Although Japan's underground bands appear to be "disdainful" of joining mainstream record companies.

But this slogan is just for show.

If a mainstream record company really extends an olive branch to invite them, 90% of them will probably agree directly.

So, when seeing the big guy Hideki Hanyu, everyone still has some thoughts in their minds.

If you are chosen, you might receive an invitation from the Yunshang Department.

After all, it is one of the biggest names in the Japanese music scene today.

However, amid the expectant eyes of these bands, Hideki Hanyu went straight to his goal.

"Yoshida-san, long time no see."

Although Yoshida Miwa was signed to Akina Nakamori's agency, she was originally discovered by Hanyu Hideki in the park.

But even so, Yoshida Miwa was still very respectful when treating Hanyu Hideki.

First, I politely greeted him, "President Hanyu, good evening."

Then he pointed at Masato Nakamura next to him and introduced him, "This is Masato Nakamura, my bassist."

"Just now at LiveHouse, I've heard the host introduce you, but isn't the name of your band a little too long?"

Thinking of the band name "CHA-CHA & AUDREY's Project", Hideki Hanyu couldn't help but say it out loud.

"Isn't it nice? This is the name I chose myself." Yoshida Miwa said with a frustrated look.

Hanyu Hideki said, "It's not that it doesn't sound good, I just think it's too long and it's too troublesome for fans to remember it."

"Well, Nakamura-san has thought of a name called 'DREAMS COME TURE', why don't we change it to this."

When Yoshida Miwa said this, Hanyu Hideki nodded repeatedly, "This is a good name. It means dreams come true. It has a lot of meaning."

Hearing Hanyu Hideki's praise, Nakamura Masato next to him didn't say anything, but his face was smiling like Winnie the Pooh.

"Since President Hanyu has approved it, we will be called 'Dolimuzkang Tulu' from now on."

Yoshida Miwa is a rough-and-ready person.

He didn't care at all that the name he came up with was surpassed by Hideki Hanyu, and he readily changed the name of the band.

It was just that neon-style English pronunciation that made Hanyu Hideki's mouth twitch.

But fortunately, everything is moving in the right direction, so there is no need to worry about this little problem.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki asked directly, "Now that you already have teammates, have you considered making your official debut, Yoshida-san?"

"Official debut?" Yoshida Miwa pointed at herself.

Hanyu Hideki said, “Of course, Yoshida-san and Nakamura-san don’t want to perform at LiveHouse forever.”

Yoshida Miwa honestly admitted, "Of course I want to release a formal album, but I always feel that I am not ready yet."

"Don't worry about that. I can tell you one thing. Cloud Satellite TV will launch a band program at the end of the year. Yoshida-san's Dream Come True Band can definitely participate. By then, you should be ready."

"End of the year? I think that should be no problem." Yoshida Miwa said excitedly.

After saying that, she seemed to just remember that she had a teammate, and hurriedly asked Nakamura Masato, "Nakamura-san, are we okay?"

Masato Nakamura smiled and said, "If it's OK with Yoshida-san, then it's OK with me too."

"Then it's settled."

As Yoshida Miwa spoke, she stretched out her hand and clapped it with Nakamura Masato.

Looking at the two of them, Hanyu Hideki also found it quite amusing.

This kind of situation made it easy for him to imagine Yoshida Miwa in front of him as a character from a novel in his previous life.

But soon, he gave up the idea.

He cannot do irrational things just because of some false feelings.

The real Yoshida Miwa seems rough.

But it is not as simple as it seems.

Commercially, the band not only did well, but they eventually became independent from the record company, formed their own record company, and collaborated well with their old label.

Just this point alone, there are few people in the entertainment industry who can do it.

Emotionally, I'm not a simple woman.

Her illicit affair with a married man with children caused a lot of controversy.

In the end, she was able to get away with it and put all the blame on a married man.

But because of this incident, Yoshida Miwa almost made it onto the list of the most unforgivable female artists by Weekly Women's magazine.

And the people on that list are basically female artists who had extramarital affairs with married men.

Recalling that list, the one ranked first was Ai Fukuhara, followed closely by Koizumi Kyoko, and of course the new era "extramarital celebrities" such as Hirosue Ryoko, Fukada Kyoko, Kahara Tomomi, and Takahashi Yumiko were also indispensable.

Therefore, when dealing with these women in the entertainment industry, you must never be one-sidedly affectionate.

In addition to its own strength.

It also needs to be appropriately "bad".

A man who only knows how to chase after a woman.

It will definitely not end well in the end.

Just when Hanyu Hideki was thinking, suddenly a few people walked into the backstage. The very impactful look was obviously the X-Japan band that had just finished its performance.

Yoshida Mei seemed to be familiar with the X-Japan band. After they appeared, she waved, greeted them and chatted with them for a few minutes.

As for Hideki Hanyu, although he had planned to contact the X-Japan band, he did not plan to go in person, but instead arranged for someone from Cloud Music to come.

After all, if he shows up in person, his "sincerity" might be so great that it might scare people away.

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu didn't stay here for long.

After a brief chat with Yoshida Miwa, he prepared to leave with Nakamori Akina.

While walking out, Hideki Hanyu also gave instructions to Akina Nakamori.

"Yoshida Miwa, Akina needs to register with a new agency to sign a contract."

When Akina Nakamori heard this and was about to ask why, Yoshida Miwa's voice suddenly sounded behind her.

"President Hanyu, please stay."

Hanyu Hideki turned around and found Yoshida Miwa chasing him quickly.

Next to her was Lin Jiashu, who had an exaggerated hairstyle.

When the two men came up to him, Hanyu Hideki asked, "What's the matter, Yoshida-san?"

Yoshida Miwa pointed to Hayashi Yoshiki next to her and said, "President Hanyu, this is Hayashi Yoshiki, the leader of the band X-Japan. Actually, he wants to meet you."

"Mr. Hanyu, I'm Hayashi Yoshiki, the leader of the band X-Japan. It's our first meeting. It's an honor to meet you."

When Lin Jiashu spoke, he seemed a little "shy".

Of course, this is not real shyness, it's just a habitual expression.

When I was young, despite my good looks, I still felt "shy".

When you get older, that “shyness” becomes greasy.

Hideki Hanyu didn't care about this. He was just a little surprised. He hadn't arranged for anyone to find Lin Jiashu yet, but the other party came to him first.

He asked curiously, "Lin Sang, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"President Hanyu, my band is planning to release an independent album recently, but since we don't have the qualifications to do so, we hope to use the cloud music channel."

When Lin Jiashu gave the answer, Hanyu Hideki did not agree immediately because it was exactly what he wanted, but asked back.

"Mr. Lin, if it's just an independent album, there are many record companies that Neon can cooperate with, and we don't even need to find a large publisher, so why did you choose Cloud Music?"

Lin Jiashu continued to smile "shyly" and replied.

"First of all, Cloud Music has a very good reputation. Another point is that I am a good friend of Tetsuya Komuro. After he knew my idea, he kept recommending me to cooperate with Cloud Music."

Hanyu Hideki looked as if he understood something when he heard this.

"So it's Tetsuya Komuro. He is now the producer of Children of the Sun. When I was creating Children of the Sun, I actually absorbed your design style."

After saying something irrelevant, Hanyu Hideki didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I welcome a band as talented as Lin-san to cooperate with Cloud Music."

After that, Hanyu Hideki took out a business card and handed it to Lin Jiashu, "This has the contact information of my assistant. If you have any ideas, you can tell her directly."

"Thank you, Mr. Hanyu." Lin Jiashu took the business card and thanked him very solemnly.

"You're welcome. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

Hanyu Hideki had to admit that Hayashi Yoshiki was indeed a young man from a wealthy family and he understood what communication was.

It was precisely because of Lin Jiashu's desire to go mainstream that the visual kei art truly flourished.

Otherwise, it would depend on those other visual kei lunatics, and Hanyu Hideki probably wouldn't even bother with them.

After saying goodbye to Hayashi Yoshiki, Hanyu Hideki left the "Fiery" LIVE HOUSE with Nakamori Akina.

Akina Nakamori is not interested in Hayashi Yoshiki.

So after getting in the car, Xiao Pangcai asked Hanyu Hideki again what he had just said, "Why do I need to re-register the agency?"

"Don't forget, your firm was originally the product of a compromise with Warner Pioneer, and it also contains shares of Warner Pioneer.

Since you have already planned to retire, do you still want to be entangled with Warner in the future?
Yoshida Miwa is so talented, if she achieves some success, Warner will definitely use the company's shares to make things happen, given their greed."

As soon as Hanyu Hideki said this, Nakamori Akina immediately realized, "Yes, how could I have forgotten about this matter? I will immediately ask President Iijima to help me register a new agency and then help Yoshida-san transfer his citizenship."

"Don't forget that when you sign a contract, there is not only the individual but also the band," said Hideki Hanyu.

"I'll remember that." Akina Nakamori agreed.

"Haha, Akina now has the airs of a female president." Hanyu Hideki said with a smile.

"Really? But she probably can't compare to Kyoko. Her agency has already signed contracts with more than a dozen artists," said Akina Nakamori.

"That's for sure. Kyoko's idol is Asako-san. When I celebrated her birthday a few days ago, she actually..."

As Hanyu Hideki spoke, he put his mouth close to Akina Nakamori's ear and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, the girl's pretty face immediately turned red.

The scumbag shyly rolled his eyes and said, "Huh, she only knows how to play those weird games."

However, after saying this, Akina Nakamori immediately put on a charming posture, grabbed Hanyu Hideki's tie with one hand, and whispered seductively.

"But... I'm also the female president. Would you like to make some mistakes, Hanyu-kun, so that I can punish him as well?"

The scumbag suddenly became interested, "Akina seemed to have bought a dress suit at noon today, I like it very much."

"Then... Hanyu-kun has to make a mistake first."

"No problem, I'll make the mistake now!"

After the scumbag finished speaking, he couldn't help but stretch out his claws in the car.
-
The time came to February 10th.

Some media outlets are still reporting on the scandal between Hideki Hanyu and Akina Nakamori.

However, there has been no news about Akina Nakamori's retirement yet.

Obviously, those partners are still trying to persuade Yunshang Entertainment to give up its decision and stop Akina Nakamori's willful behavior.

At the time when Yamaguchi Momoe retired, capital's development of derivative benefits from idols was not yet complete, and Yamaguchi Momoe's retirement caused a huge backlash.

By the time of the Heisei era, capital had already squeezed out almost all the benefits from all aspects.

It is extremely difficult to retire. Even Ayumi Hamasaki cannot quit the entertainment industry because she is deaf.

Utada Hikaru and her lover retired to Europe, but the record company forced her to come back and release a single.

Today's Akina Nakamori's commercial development depth is not much different from that of the singer in the 1990s, and the number of stakeholders involved is frighteningly large.

If you want to date someone like Akina Nakamori and live together with her, you should first consider whether you can withstand the pressure from these capitals.

If Akina Nakamori doesn't follow Hideki Hanyu after retiring, she could just follow some wealthy boss.

Now these interested parties are not here to "persuade the couple with kind words", but are directly trying to break up the couple.

So, fellow time travelers, if you really travel back to the past and want to marry Akina Nakamori, the first thing you need to do is to make yourself strong.

Either don't let Akina Nakamori become popular, or wait for Akina Nakamori to become outdated.

Forget about the other possibilities.

Getting married is never a reason to retire.

In a society like Japan, even if you are married, you still have to watch the capital make your wife perform in front of others.

Apart from anything else, the scale of Japanese TV dramas in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s was no joke. Wet kisses in front of the camera were a piece of cake, and sex scenes with undressing were commonplace.

If it weren’t for a big shot like Hideki Hanyu.

But it is impossible to make a superstar like Akina Nakamori give up the film and television career.

It is impossible to prevent Kyoko Koizumi from taking any TV drama projects.

It is also impossible to have no hand-holding scenes in Yasuko Sawaguchi's TV series.

And just today, Hideki Hanyu witnessed another "misunderstanding" caused by him.

In Bunkyo-ku, the flagship movie theater of Crescent Cinemas.

The premiere of "My Sassy Girl" was held.

As the original author, Hideki Hanyu personally went to the scene to show his support.

After taking a three-day break, Akina Nakamori also appeared in the public eye for the first time to promote the movie.

Of course, as a key film to be released online this year, all the famous artists in the cloud series will basically make an appearance as long as they have time.

For example, Shizuka Kudo, whose popularity is almost approaching that of a superstar.

For example, the top actress in the Yunshang department, Yuki Saito.

For example, the SHINee group made the fans excited as soon as they appeared.

For example, Noriko Sakai, who was sixteen years old, pure and lovely.

For example, the F4 group has disbanded but came to support their former teammates.

For example, Yasuko Sawaguchi has returned to the public eye because of the hit drama "Scientific Investigation Girl".

Of course, in addition to the Yunshang system, there are also stars from other firms.

Such as Yoko Shimada, Tsuyoshi Kazama, Sayuri Yoshinaga, Yuko Tanaka, Miho Nakayama, Kyoko Koizumi, Keiko Matsuzaka, Tetsuko Kuroyanagi... and so on.

After all, this movie is not only a work of Yunping, but also directed by the great director Shinsuke Ito. Anyone who is free in the circle will give him some face. However, after arriving, Hideki Hanyu did not stay in front of people for long.

Even though the media were eager to interview him because of the photo scandal when Sky Telecom was founded.

But he just couldn't be bothered with these bastards.

Anyway, he is not an artist, and no one can do anything to him.

As for where is Hideki Hanyu now?

In the theater where the movie was about to be shown, Hideki Hanyu was sitting in an empty corner, talking in a low voice with a man who had just arrived.

The man was none other than his capable subordinate, Kamiya Eiichi.

"Boss, regarding the stock acquisition of Crescent Cinema Line, these are the only details at this time. Do you have anything else to say?"

Eiichi Kambo came here specifically to report to Hideki Hanyu on the acquisition of Crescent Cinemas shares.

If Hideki Hanyu does not want to lose control after Crescent Cinemas acquires AMC, he must take action in the secondary market.

For now, it seems to be relatively successful.

Although the shares he holds now are not as much as the proportion after the acquisition of Asian Cinemas.

But with the holdings of Yunshang Entertainment and others such as Hirohashi Asako, it is barely possible to control Crescent Cinemas.

that's enough.

He and Hirohashi Asako just hope that when there are major actions in the future, the board of directors of Crescent Cinemas will not drag their feet.

But after acquiring AMC, there are actually not many big moves that Crescent Cinemas can make.

It's nothing more than some small-scale expansion and using good news to boost the stock price.

Unbeknownst to others, Hanyu Hideki is actually preparing for the final moment next year.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki said to Jinbao Eiichi, "I have no other instructions. The operation of Crescent Cinema Line ends here."

After that, he smiled and asked Jinbao Yingyi, "The helicopter I ordered for you should be arriving soon. How do you feel about it?"

Jin Baoying replied with a smile, "It's great, and the house my boss gave me. Now when I'm done with work, I'll go to Karuizawa to rest as long as time permits. The environment there is indeed better than Tokyo."

"Really? Actually, I have some land over there, and I'm thinking of hiring someone to design a new place to live."

Karuizawa is a summer resort for Tokyo residents, and Hideki Hanyu certainly knows that.

But he has never been one to like joining in the fun.

So I haven't been there much.

"Then the boss needs to design it quickly, so that I can go to your house to attend the banquet. The rich people in Tokyo like to hold banquets there the most."

Kamiya Eiichi said with anticipation.

While Kamiya Eiichi was speaking, the guests attending the movie premiere tonight had already entered the screening room one after another.

They were sitting in the back, so they could see everyone entering clearly.

Kamiya Eiichi took a casual look and discovered many famous beauties.

The most important thing is that many of these beauties have had scandals with his boss.

Just as Kamiya Eiichi was full of admiration, Hanyu Hideki, who was completely uninterested in the people entering, spoke.

"Attend my party? I don't like that kind of thing, but you've moved into a new house now. Have you made any progress with Sato Kyoko? Haven't you invited her to Karuizawa for vacation?"

Hideki Hanyu's words about Kyoko Sato fell into the ears of Eiichi Kambo.

Kamiya Ei looked again and again at the beauties who had been rumored to have affairs with Hanyu Hideki, and couldn't help but ask with emotion.

"Boss, why can't I handle a single woman, but you can handle so many women?"

Upon hearing this, Hanyu Hideki was stunned at first, then glanced at the people who were entering the venue one after another.

Instead of answering directly, he took out a business card and handed it to Kamiho Eiichi, and then said to Kamiho Eiichi.

"Put the business card on your finger and try to spin it by blowing on it with your mouth."

Kamiya Eiichi put the business card on his index finger and blew it several times but failed.

Because after he blew air, the business card would almost fall before it started to spin, forcing him to grab the business card first.

"I can't do it, boss," said Kamiya Eiichi.

Hideki Hanyu took back the business card, picked it up with his index finger, and blew on it casually, and the business card began to spin on his index finger.

Upon seeing this, Jin Baoying exclaimed, "Boss, you must have practiced for a long time."

Hanyu Hideki shook his head and said, "No."

As he spoke, his fingers suddenly trembled, and the business card slipped from his index finger and fell to the ground.

He didn't pick up the business card, but turned to Kamiho Eiichi and said.

“See? I can do this because I don’t care if it falls.

The more you worry about it, the easier it is to lose it.

The same goes for women.”

After saying this, Hanyu Hideki patted JINBAO Eiichi on the shoulder and stood up.

"Okay, I should go to the front too. You can watch the movie if you want. If you don't want to watch it, you can go back first."

……

Next, as Hanyu Hideki sat in the front row with Ito Shinsuke, the movie soon began playing.

Then, Hideki Hanyu saw "My Sassy Girl", which had a similar story but a completely different "artistic concept" from the South Korean version.

Hideki Hanyu is not surprised by this.

After all, different countries have different cultures.

In this version of Neon, the emotions are more restrained.

While describing the "barbaric" side of the heroine Asuka Kazama, it also subtly depicts the oppression of women in Japanese society.

The contrast between the two makes the character of Kazama Asuka even more outstanding.

If we talk about the South Korean drama "My Sassy Girl", the male lead Cha Tae-hyun is a supporting role but still has his own unique performance.

In this movie "My Sassy Girl" directed by Shinsuke Ito, the main actor Yuji Oda moved the audience deeply when he told his rival the ten rules at the end.

All the highlights of the rest of the movie were given to the heroine Kazama Asuka.

This girl seems wild on the surface, but is actually affectionate.

They are just disguising themselves as barbaric, fighting against the oppression of women in Japanese society, or perhaps it is an alternative expression of resistance.

But Shinsuke Ito combined this feeling of resistance with love very skillfully.

It won't make people feel it's excessive, and it can inspire everyone's sympathy and understanding.

The characters in Hideki Hanyu's novels are unexpectedly sublimated in the movie.

This made him sigh that Shinsuke Ito's directing level could be said to have reached the master level.

Equally stunning is Suzuki Kyoka, who plays Asuka Kazama.

Spoiled and willful, with hidden affection, the silent resistance, the unyielding attitude towards oppression, weak yet powerful, ordinary yet strong...

This young girl's acting skills are simply amazing!
He is truly a talented actor who is blessed by God.

After watching the whole movie, it can be completely classified as a pure love film.

The most intimate scene between the male and female protagonists is that the male protagonist carries the female protagonist on his back.

At the end of the movie, it still has an open ending with the hero and heroine looking back in the crowd.

Just like the original novel, there is no mention of the two meeting again or missing each other.

When the ending song sounded, it gave Hanyu Hideki another surprise.

Apart from the initial script, he did not participate in the filming of this movie.

Naturally, it is impossible to provide soundtrack for the movie.

The reason why the movie uses "Canon" as the soundtrack like the South Korean version is because it is written in the original novel that the heroine plays Canon on the piano.

As for the song played at the end, it had appeared briefly before in the whole film, but Hanyu Hideki was concentrating on watching the movie and didn't notice it for a while.

Now that I listen to it, I realize that this is not Teresa Teng’s song “Bie re no yo kan (Premonition of Breakup)”?

This song is the fourth song after Teresa Teng's love trilogy in 1987.

The song is of course very nice, and Teresa Teng’s singing is needless to say.

The special arrangement also fits the atmosphere of the movie very well.

After all, the Neon version is not really suitable for the song "I Believe".

But the problem is that this song of Teresa Teng should have been released in 1987. It was one of her most popular songs in Japan, but there is no Mandarin version of this song.

As for why this song became the theme song of "My Sassy Girl"?
Hanyu Hideki directly asked Ito Shinsuke beside him in a low voice, "Is this a song by Teresa Teng?"

“Yes, the song that Ms. Teresa Teng offered last year was originally planned to be released as a single, but after we adopted it, we decided to use the song as the soundtrack for the movie.

It’s a pity that Ms. Teresa Teng is no longer in Japan these days, otherwise we should invite her to perform live.”

At the end of his speech, Ito Shinsuke specifically asked, "What do you think of the movie, Hanyu-san?"

However, Hanyu Hideki had no time to answer.

Because at this time the singing stopped and the lights came on.

The entire theater was instantly filled with warm applause.

Obviously, the audience at the scene has told Ito Shinsuke the answer through their actions.

Immediately afterwards, at the invitation of the on-site host, all the main creative staff were invited to the stage.

Hideki Hanyu, the original author, is no exception.

The host also knew how to create an atmosphere, and he started by asking for Hanyu Hideki's opinion.

"Mr. Hanyu, what is your opinion of this movie?"

Hanyu Hideki praised the film without reservation, saying, "I think under the direction of Director Ito, this film has surpassed my original work."

"How could Mr. Hanyu's evaluation be so high?"

"Of course, in my opinion, Director Ito is worthy of being called a master."

After Hanyu Hideki said this, even the arrogant Ito Shinsuke was a little hesitant to respond.

He hurriedly said modestly.

"Mr. Hanyu is so polite. The success of this movie is the result of the hard work of the whole team. Mr. Hanyu's original work is excellent enough, Ms. Suzuki's performance surprised me even more, and Mr. Oda's final confession moved even the crew..."

But no matter how modest Ito Shinsuke was, Hanyu Hideki had already spoken.

Given Hideki Hanyu's current fame, the title of master must be given to Shinsuke Ito.

As for the rest of the interviews that followed, as well as the compliments and praise from the guests, there is no need to go into details.

After the premiere, Hideki Hanyu found that Kamibo Eiichi had left, so he did not stay to continue socializing and got in the car to return to Yorozuya.

After attending the premiere of My Sassy Girl, it was time for him to return to Sendai to prepare for Tohoku Energy's annual board meeting.

But when leaving, a little fat boy sneaked into the car door.

As soon as she got in the car, Akina Nakamori couldn't help but say, "This movie is so good. I really like the character of Kazama Asuka."

Hanyu Hideki asked with a smile, "What if I had asked you to play this role?"

Akina Nakamori quickly shook her head and said, "I know myself well. I can't act out such a complex role. Miss Suzuki's acting skills are too great."

Hanyu Hideki reminded, “This is actually her first time acting in a movie.”

Akina Nakamori exclaimed, "Then Miss Suzuki is really a genius."

Hanyu Hideki also agreed, "Yes, some people are born to do this job."

He then asked Akina Nakamori, "Is Akina going to resume work tomorrow?"

Akina Nakamori nodded, "Iijima-san decided that I should finish recording the TV show I'm working on first, and then start working on the first single."

Speaking of singles, Akina Nakamori mentioned the movie again.

"The theme song of the movie just now was also very nice. It was sung by Ms. Teresa Teng. Her singing skills are still so amazing."

Akina Nakamori, who often appears on TV shows, is quite familiar with Teresa Teng.

Hearing Akina Nakamori talking about recording a single and the theme song for Her Sassy Girl at the same time, something suddenly occurred to Hideki Hanyu.

The song "I Believe" was not used in the movie, but was given to Akina Nakamori to release as a single, which seems to be pretty good.

Thinking of this, he said to Akina Nakamori, "Actually, when I was watching the movie just now, I suddenly had some inspiration in my mind. I will write it down when I get back to Yorozuya and see if it can be made into Akina's single."

"Okay! Okay!" Akina Nakamori was a little impatient.

Crescent Moon Studios itself is located in Bunkyo Ward.

So after Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, the Rolls-Royce returned to the Yorozuya shortly afterwards.

After returning home, Hanyu Hideki did not delay and quickly wrote the music of "I Believe" and also casually wrote some lyrics.

He then played the piece himself, and Akina Nakamori sang this part.

"I Believe Even though I'm Not With You"

"But this is not a farewell."

"I Believe the way back to me"

"It's a little far, but you'll come back."

……

A performance ends.

After hugging Hanyu Hideki again, the little fat girl was silent for a long time before she slowly spoke.

"Hanyu-kun, I really love you."

The scumbag asked helplessly, "Akina, can you please comment on the song first?"

"That's great. I'm really moved. If this song is the theme song of a movie, it would be very suitable. The box office might even increase."

"I think whether this song is there or not will not affect the box office of the movie."

……

And what Hideki Hanyu said came true later.

"My Sassy Girl" is not only a key project of Cloud Filming this year, but the entire Cloud Filming System has provided unprecedented promotional resources.

Media publicity can be seen everywhere in newspapers and magazines.

The movie theme song, along with movie clips, was broadcast continuously on major TV stations.

Graphic posters are everywhere in neon.

The release of the movie is also a carnival for fans of Hideki Hanyu's books.

You know, after the original version of "My Sassy Girl" was released, it broke countless sales records of Japanese books.

Today, this book, which has been released for less than a year, has sold over 9.5 million copies in Japan alone, and is only one step away from selling 10 million copies.

The sales volume is so horrifying that it is not enough to describe it.

They even use the sales of books to trample on the comic books.

And everyone knows that Hideki Hanyu's novel has sold over 10 million copies a year, and all it's waiting for is the movie to be released.

At this time, the movie was released.

The quality was beyond everyone's imagination and directly shocked everyone.

Suzuki Kyoka's performance brought the character of the spoiled, willful, strong and independent wild girlfriend in the book to life in the eyes of all book fans.

And Shinsuke Ito's direction gives the film a profound meaning that is not "cloying".

Book lovers and movie fans entered the movie theater with anticipation on their faces.

He smiled at Asuka Kazama's "barbaric" behavior.

I was also moved by Asuka Kazama's inner strength and indomitable spirit.

I was even more moved by the love between the hero and heroine.

An excellent movie, amazing performances by the actors, powerful publicity and promotion by Yunshang, over 90% screen coverage by Crescent Cinemas, plus the strong support of fans of Hideki Hanyu's book.

Everything combined.

As expected, this movie became the first and unprecedented super hit in the Japanese film industry in 1988.

On Wednesday, February 10, "My Sassy Girl" was released and grossed 274 million yen just from the midnight slot.

On Thursday, February 11th, the film's box office figures almost doubled, grossing 510 million yen.

On February 12th, Friday, the weekend arrived and the movie box office soared again, reaching 690 million yen.

February 13, Saturday, the day before Valentine's Day, was also a real weekend for many companies with one day off, and the single-day box office rose to 765 million yen.

February 14th, Sunday, Valentine's Day, even though they had to go to work the next day, it couldn't stop the young couple's enthusiasm for watching movies.

1.006 billion yen, breaking 1 billion in a single day.

unprecedented!

The crazy box office of 3.245 billion in the first week also broke the box office record of all Japanese live-action movies.

The entire Japanese film industry went crazy because of this movie.

At this point, the reputation of professional film review magazines is no longer important.

Such crazy box office performance, after media publicity, is enough to attract movie fans to go to the cinema.

In Neon, a market where the screening cycle starts at three months, some media have already predicted that the film will have a total box office of 20 billion yen.

What no one knew was that the film’s performance in Neon was just the beginning.

At the end of February and the beginning of March, when the movie was released in other parts of Asia, the "My Sassy Girl" storm swept across Asia and topped the box office championship in many parts of Asia.

On the one hand, this is the result of Crescent Cinemas' years of planning.

But more importantly, this movie caters to the love of many young audiences.

For a time, with the help of the explosive box office of movies and the news of the acquisition of AMC Theaters, Crescent Cinemas' stock soared wildly in the Neon Securities Market, and the total market value rushed towards 10 billion US dollars!

With this film, Shinsuke Ito also solidified his position as the leading new generation of Japanese directors.

Thanks to the role of Asuka Kazama, Suzuki Kyoka skyrocketed from an unknown little model to a top-tier star.

And he's not just a first-tier star who's famous only in Japan.

He is a quasi-first-tier star in Asia.

The young girl is overwhelmed with endorsements, commercial performances, and invitations to new movies.

Even the theme song "Betsu no Yokan" sung by Teresa Teng, after being released as a single on the popularity of the movie, immediately topped the Oricon weekly chart as soon as it was released.

And because the movie was so popular throughout Asia, this song, which did not have a Mandarin version in another time and space, was specially recorded in Mandarin in this time and space.

Of course, if we talk about the biggest gain.

That person must be Hideki Hanyu who is silent and hidden behind the scenes.

Thanks to the movie, the book "My Sassy Girl" began to sell well across Asia.

Relying on the entire Asian market, let alone a total sales volume of 10 million, according to Shogakukan's forecast, it will not be a problem to exceed 20 million copies before the end of the year.

At the same time, the entire Yunshang Entertainment also told everyone through this movie that it is the undisputed overlord of the Japanese entertainment industry.

Perhaps if some of the businesses of Yunshang Entertainment Group are taken out separately, they are not as good as Sony Entertainment and Toho Pictures.

But in terms of comprehensive strength, Yunshang Entertainment Group is unmatched by other companies.

Moreover, with the popularity of "My Sassy Girl" in Asia, some people have gradually discovered that Yunshang Entertainment Group is no longer just about dominating Japan.

The tentacles of this huge media group have begun to cover the whole of Asia.

But just on the eve of the "barbaric storm"

February 11th.

Hideki Hanyu, the biggest beneficiary behind the scenes, has quietly left Tokyo.

The Spirit takes off.

Destination, Sendai City.

　Xiao Pangcai's three singles and Teresa Teng's songs have been included in NetEase Cloud Music's "Traveling Through the Bubble Era"

　　Finally, I would like to thank Manyou Shuhai for the reward.
