Huayu: I'm reborn, but you still force me to be a scumbag?

Chapter 230 This movie should be banned
The beauty effect exists everywhere.

In fact, in a TBS audience survey three days later, less than 30% of Japanese people actually went to the cinema to watch "The Whisper" because of Chen Nuo, and most of them were women.

The proportion of men who bought tickets because of Takeshi Kitano is not much different.

An astonishing 21% of Japanese audiences chose to watch the movie because of the two unknown women who appeared briefly in the commercial.

From this we can see that we should never ignore men’s lustful psychology at any time or in any place.

Liu Yifei, who didn't know that she had gained a small number of fans in Japan, came to Tokyo on the day of the Japanese premiere of "The Whistleblower".

This time she came to Japan, one reason was to promote the movie with Chen Nuo.

Secondly, because the filming of "Boys Over Flowers" is about to start in April, she must come in advance to communicate with the director and screenwriter.

This is the first time in history that a mainland actress has gone to Japan to star in a regular movie, and even played the leading role in a blockbuster film.

When this news first came out, it caused quite a stir in the mainland.

I don’t know how many people have begun to re-examine the new company or Chen Nuo’s connections in the three East Asian countries.

How the hell did they get involved with TBS again? Not only did they appear in variety shows, but they also helped their artists win the leading female role in their 2008 blockbuster drama?
What kind of magical operation is this?
Which entertainment company in the world doesn't want to enter the Japanese market?
Everyone knows that Japanese fans are the most willing to spend money on their idols.

But apart from Wang Jingwen who became a little famous in Japan by singing the theme song of FF8 and held a concert, is there any other female star in China who has such a large number of fans?

Back then, when Liu Yifei went to Japan to release an album, many people were waiting to see her make a fool of herself. Both people in the circle and ordinary people were not optimistic.

The final result was indeed as everyone expected.

Many forum posts talked about this incident afterwards, and the most common comment in the comments section was probably four words: "Don't overestimate your own abilities."

Just because you have acted in a few TV series and played a few vase heroines, do you really think you are Teresa Teng or Wang Jingwen? How ridiculous.

This time, with the strong push of Chen Nuo, Liu Yifei once again hit the Japanese market and carried out her second Japan strategy. Many netizens were surprised this time and divided into two camps.

One group believes that there is still no hope, while the other group believes that it is hard to say whether Brother Nuo will take action.

In the poll initiated by Wangyi Entertainment for this purpose, a total of more than 9 netizens participated, with those who were optimistic and those who were pessimistic each accounting for a little over 40%, which was considered a tie.

I don't know if she was worried about her future. In short, Liu Yifei didn't look happy at all, and didn't say anything.

Liu Xiaoli, who was sitting next to her on the plane, had been performing a one-man show.

In fact, Liu Xiaoli has always felt that Chen Nuo and his team were too arrogant, which is why they brought a movie like "The Sound of Wind" to Japan.

Before this, only Americans had done such a shameless thing in Japan!
Moreover, from the perspective of publicity, Liu Xiaoli believes that "The Sound of the Wind" is actually imitating the "Pearl Harbor" of that year.

For example, the tactic of downplaying the war on posters was used in their country's movie "Pearl Harbor".

Originally, other posters in Asia all had the words "Beware of Japanese invasion" printed on them, but there was no mention of this on local movie posters in Japan.

Apart from a small broken boat with a burning roof, the biggest page was Ben Affleck kissing Kate Beckinsale's forehead affectionately.

"Pearl Harbor" packages itself as a romance film, just as "The Sound of the Wind" packages itself as a battle of wits film.

But Liu Xiaoli knew that unlike the Japanese version of "Pearl Harbor", which deleted many lines reflecting the Japanese invasion, the version of "The Sound of Wind" released in Japan was even more outrageous than the domestic version.

The bloody scenes that were originally deleted in the country are reproduced here intactly.

In this case, you still want to sell it in Japan? Isn't this wishful thinking?
Therefore, what Liu Xiaoli talked about with Liu Yifei along the way was not the rumor that had been released, but Boys Over Flowers.

"Xixi, your company really provides you with a good opportunity this time."

"SONY has contacted me again. If you become more famous in Japan through "Boys Over Flowers", your last album might become popular again."

"Xixi, through this play, we can also establish a good relationship with the people at TBS. If you can establish this relationship in the future, you will definitely have great development in Japan."

"I heard that many people on the Internet in Japan are not happy with you playing Shancai. You..."

"Sissi, why don't you speak?"

Liu Yifei looked at the clouds outside the plane window and said calmly, "Mom, let's go to Japan tonight to watch "The Sound of Wind" again."

"Ah, why?"

Liu Yifei raised her head slightly and said, "Mom, I want to watch it again to see if what those people on the Internet said is true or not."

Liu Xiaoli said dissatisfiedly: "Xixi, what's going on? You have been in the industry for so long, why do you still take what those people say seriously? You should know."

Liu Yifei interrupted, "I also asked Chen Nuo, and he told me to read a movie review on Douban... I want to go to the cinema to see if it's really what the review said. Mom, if you don't accompany me, I'll go by myself."

Liu Xiaoli was speechless. At this moment, she missed her obedient and well-behaved daughter.

After arriving in Japan, the mother and daughter and Li Jing, the assistant assigned to Liu Yifei by Huanxin Company, prepared to find a cinema to watch the midnight premiere of "The Whistleblower".

result……

At 10: in the evening, when the three of them followed the address to the Fukada Cinema, which was closest to their hotel, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.

A long winding queue started from the entrance of the cinema. I don't know how many times it bent along the way before it reached the street. At first glance, it felt like the street was packed with people.

But the Japanese people's discipline was undoubtedly highlighted at this time. So many people lined up in an orderly manner, and no one cut in line.

The three women didn't know that Taro Fukada, the owner of Fukada Cinema, was laughing happily in the cinema at this time, and was asking his men to contact the Nakamura family immediately and ask them to send a copy over as soon as possible.

When Liu Xiaoli saw this rather strange and shocking scene on the street in the middle of the night, she initially thought that Hayao Miyazaki had a new film released.

When I walked to the ticket window and asked, I found out that these people were all there to see "The Whistleblower".

Liu Xiaoli felt that this world was simply crazy.

Even after I walked into the theater and sat down in the only two remaining rows of seats in the front, I still hadn't come to my senses.

"Don't these Japanese know what kind of movie they are watching? It's about fighting the Japanese. How could there be so many people?"

Li Jing, an assistant hired by Huanxin Company specifically for Liu Yifei's filming in Japan and a returnee who had studied in Japan for six years, replied: "I just asked, our company's advertisement in Japan has very good news, and these people came here because of the advertisement."

"Also, in Tokyo, which has a population of tens of millions, there are only seven theaters showing our films. So there are so many people in these theaters."

Liu Xiaoli nodded suddenly. It turned out that everyone was gathered together. This was no wonder.

Liu Xiaoli is quite satisfied with Li Jing, the assistant hired by Huanxin Company for Liu Yifei. Not only does she know Chinese, Japanese and English, but she is also smart and capable in handling various matters.

It can be seen that Huanxin Company has definitely carefully selected her and found a capable woman specifically for their troublesome daughter.

Liu Xiaoli even asked about her monthly salary, wondering if she should hire another one herself. But the number she got was so shocking that she was stunned for a long time.

As expected of a Waseda graduate, Huanxin Company is really willing to spend money on this and it seems like they really care about their daughter.

After that, Liu Xiaoli never thought about letting Liu Yifei change jobs after the contract expired.

Liu Yifei didn't pay attention to the conversation between the two people around her. She didn't really care about the box office of The Wind in Japan. She stared blankly at the movie screen which hadn't started yet, thinking about something else:

Is it true that the Gu Xiaoman I played is lifeless and not moving enough?
So, what kind of character can finally come to the fore?

Oh, what a headache.

Forget it, don't think about it anymore. I'll ask Chen Nuo when I see him this time. Coincidentally, Ayase Haruka was actually in the same theater as Liu Yifei and the others at this time.

Since she had already made up her mind to watch the premiere, she asked her agent to buy the tickets early.

Unlike Liu Yifei who watched the movie in the front row and only came to find out that her acting skills were not good enough,

Before the movie started, Ayase Haruka sat in the back corner and even took off her mask. She cheered herself up and prepared to enjoy this war-themed movie of wits and wisdom that should be very good and exciting.

When she heard the chattering of the two girls in the front row, she couldn't help but secretly agree in her heart that Chen Jun looked so attractive in his military uniform.

I wonder what kind of Japanese soldier he plays in the movie? Is he a bad but charming character like JOKER?

At 00:00, the theater darkened on time and the big screen lit up.

Amid the sound of light music, a listless little man was walking on the road when he suddenly stepped on a road paved with movie films. The films then wrapped him up and gave him a new life filled with colorful rays of light.

Afterwards, a string of English letters appeared from the little man's head: Reborn Picture.

Although Ayase Haruka didn't know that this somewhat childish promotional title was made by Framestore, which did the special effects for The Dark Knight, at a cost of 5 Euros, Chen Nuo still found it quite interesting.

Then, the movie officially began.

中国版的风声一共是1个小时51分31秒，而在日本和韩国上映的风声则是2个小时1分17秒。中间差的这将近10分钟时间，是国内某局以太过血腥真实的理由删掉了的。

Now, this part is being fully enjoyed by Japanese audiences.

Before watching the movie, Ayase Haruka always thought that the most attractive part of the movie should be the rivalry between Kitano Takeshi and Chen Nuo, where everyone was looking for the traitor together and playing a psychological game.

However, while waiting for the movie to end, the tears on Ayase Haruka's face were still wet, and her mind was not about Takeshi Kitano or Chen Nuo, but other messy things.

At the same time, she also knew that she had been deceived! And it was definitely intentional by the film company!

What kind of battle of wits or game? This is just a bunch of cruel Japanese soldiers playing a cruel game of cat and mouse. The strength and wisdom shown by the women in the film is the main theme of the whole movie.

At this time, there were only two-thirds of the audience left in the theater where she was.

Ayase Haruka sat in the corner, waiting for the audience to leave, and the discussions reached her ears.

“…Why did the authorities allow this film to be released?”

"…Are those good-for-nothings crazy…Can't you see that…"

"It's so pitiful, those people inside..."

“Is everything in this movie true?”

"Exciting...yes, Shinichi and the others will definitely like it too."

"Liar, this movie should be banned...yes, file a complaint about it..."

“I think the soldiers inside are too…”

Ayase Haruka had never heard so many contradictory and completely different reviews after a movie ended.

If she hadn't seen the movie, she would have been very surprised.

But now. She understands too well.

After watching the movie, her mood was also so complicated.

Her agent is a woman in her thirties named Hirohara Suzu.

Ayase Haruka noticed that this mature woman who had always been calm and composed now had slightly red eyes.

Apparently, she was not the only one who was stimulated by the bloody and violent scenes in the movie more than half an hour ago.

Ayase Haruka felt that no woman would still stand on the side of the Japanese military after watching that scene.

Even though most of the actors in the movie are Chinese, she is the authentic Japanese gold.

Hirohara Ling turned around and asked, "Haruka-chan, what do you think? What do you think of this movie?"

Ayase Haruka carefully considered her feelings and said seriously: "I think... no matter what, it is indeed a good movie that can touch people's hearts."

But I have just confirmed that Mr. Chen does not like Japan.

At least it was the Japan of the past, she added silently in her heart.

She wasn't the only one who saw that.

The next day, sporadic reports about "The Voice of the Wind" appeared in various entertainment news on the Internet.

Although there are not many, the discussions under each piece of online news are very intense.

This is actually a rare situation in a lifeless society like Japan, where people generally only care about typhoons, earthquakes and work.

Movies and the like, rarely do people quarrel over them.

"'The Voice of the Wind' is a good movie, but it is not a movie suitable for Japanese people to watch." This is the title of a movie review from Nicole, a famous film critic on Yahoo Japan, and it is also a perfect summary.

Amidst all this turmoil, the first week of The Voice of the Wind's release in Japan has passed.

Chen Nuo also flew from South Korea to Japan to carry out the planned promotion and meet with the American independent film company here.

What dusk!
When he heard Qi Yuntian talking about vampires, he became alert.
He could only say, "What's the use of having a high degree from Georgetown University? You don't have any literary talent at all!"

The translation of Twilight is so vulgar.

It’s clearly called “Twilight”!
And what about absolutely not asking for a share of the box office revenue? Alas, Chen Nuo could only say that no matter how smart a person is, they can't beat rebirth.

Chen Nuo arrived in Tokyo with his knife sharpened, ready to get a piece of the pie in the most cost-effective film ever.

After hearing about the current situation from the Nakamura father and son, who were both happy and worried, they immediately cancelled the original promotional activities.

What the hell is going on? They even asked him to go to Harajuku for a fan meeting.

Do you know how that former prime minister died?

Those extreme right-wingers in Japan are so cruel in killing their own people, so they will definitely have no psychological burden in killing a Chinese like him, right?

Therefore, when Liu Yifei saw Chen Nuo, she almost laughed to death, "Hahahaha, Chen Nuo, do you really need to do that?"

Chen Nuo thought it was quite reasonable. What's wrong with wrapping from head to toe? As long as you can walk, it's normal.

If it weren't for Linghu, he would even be ready to fly back to Korea.

However, hearing Liu Yifei's heartless laughter, Chen Nuo couldn't help but snorted coldly and said, "Just laugh, do you know how well our "The Sound of Wind" sold in Japan?"

Liu Yifei chuckled and said, "What do you want to say?"

Chen Nuo said coldly: "I want to say that I used my life safety in exchange for 5 million yen in box office revenue, and I think it is worth it."

Liu Xiaoli, who was watching the two joking with a smile on her face, exclaimed and asked, "Xiao Chen, it's sold 5 million already? It's only been a week? Besides, don't you only have about cinemas?"
