Chapter 219 Stars gather together
In the movie Twin Eyes, Western Pictures was the main controller, but it only accounted for 31% of the revenue share.

Zheng Jing personally converted half of his film remuneration into investment and enjoyed a 12.5% profit share.

Columbia Pictures and Toho Co., Ltd. accounted for 30% and 26.5% of the revenue shares respectively.

Sony Entertainment is behind Columbia Pictures, and Toho Co., Ltd. is one of the largest film companies in Japan.

With these two companies around, Shuangtong is treated very well in Japan.

Not only did the film have an advantage in theater scheduling and received the green light for publicity in all aspects, it also became the opening film at the Tokyo International Film Festival.

Even in the award selection, there are certain advantages.

At 10 a.m. on October 27, Zheng Jing brought Shu Chang to Hibiya to prepare for the opening ceremony in the afternoon.

The Tokyo International Film Festival is the most watched A-class film festival in Asia.

In addition, Japan's film market is huge. The animated film "Spirited Away" released this year had a box office of over 300 billion yen in a single market, equivalent to more than billion Chinese yuan.

Everyone is coveting such a huge single market.

Therefore, during the film festival, many films will be exhibited here, hoping to use the popularity of the film festival to open up the Japanese market.

The same is true for Chinese films.

Walking into the Takarazuka Theater, Zheng Jing saw three of the Four Heavenly Kings at a glance, Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok and Li Ming, all three of whom gathered at the Tokyo International Film Festival.

Liu Dehua came to the exhibition with the movie "Slimming Men and Women". Standing next to him were Japanese actor Kurokawa Rikiya and the movie's heroine Zheng Xiuwen.

"Slimming Men and Women" will be released in Japan on November 11nd and will be a competitor to "Double Vision".

In recent years, Li Ming's work focus has gradually shifted to movies.

This year, he starred in the movie "Immortal Love" with Japanese actress Seto Asaka.

But the person standing next to him was not Seto Asaka, but Hong Kong beauty pageant winner Li Jiaxin.

Li Ming and Li Jiaxin were the guests at the opening ceremony of this film festival.

As for Aaron Kwok's visit, it is just a rehash of old stuff.

He has always wanted to release the movie "Thunder Cops" starring him last year in Japan.

The heroine of this movie is "Miss Japan" Norika Fujiwara, who is also quite famous in China.

Don’t look at the Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong Island, who always brag about being Asian superstars. In fact, only Li Ming is very popular in Korea.

The rest are within Asia and their popularity is just so-so.

Specifically in Japan, the only one who is truly extremely popular is Cheng Long.

Before going to Hollywood, the reason why Jackie Chan was able to get high pay was because of the Japanese market.

If a movie stars Jackie Chan, Japanese film producers are willing to pay a high price to buy it.

Everyone would envy Cheng Long's situation.

So the Four Heavenly Kings all wanted to expand into the Japanese market.

In the movies they have made in the past two years, they have been collaborating with Japanese actors, but with little success.

Unlike Zheng Jing, who became a very popular idol in Japan through TV dramas, instrumental music, novels, and performances such as Shooting the Halberd at the Gate.

After seeing Zheng Jing coming in, Li Ming acted very indifferent. He really doesn't have a strong ambition for career.

Liu Dehua nodded and smiled, looking like a good old man, hiding his inner unhappiness.

Only Guo Fucheng had a serious expression and showed a little resistance.

The Four Heavenly Kings had been unable to break into the Japanese market and had tried all sorts of tricks to no avail. However, they were easily dealt with by Zheng Jing, a newcomer from the mainland.

There will be some emotions in their hearts.

Guo Fucheng turned his head away and pretended not to see Zheng Jing.

Unexpectedly, the woman next to him was very active.

"Zheng Jingjun! Can I take a photo with you?"

When Fujiwara Norika saw Zheng Jing, she walked straight over and asked for a photo like a fan.

After taking the photo, she kept talking and urged the translator to express her excitement.

"I particularly like the performance of "Shooting the Halberd at the Gate". I have collected the videotapes of your two performances.

How do you usually exercise? You have a standard figure, but you are so strong! "

Norika Fujiwara looked at Zheng Jing curiously. If it wasn’t the wrong occasion, she would even want to reach out and touch Zheng Jing’s muscles.

Seeing that Norika Fujiwara looked worthless, Guo Fucheng's mouth twitched.

He is currently in a relationship with Norika Fujiwara, but the relationship has not been made public.

Seeing that his girlfriend had become a little fan of Zheng Jing and even clung tightly to Zheng Jing when taking photos, Aaron Kwok felt green on his head.

Zheng Jing didn't care about Guo Fucheng's thoughts. He chatted with Fujiwara Norika for a few words and then prepared to find the staff to discuss the procedures of the opening ceremony.

After he confronted TVB and most of the Hong Kong media, he basically became the public enemy of the Hong Kong circle.

There is no need to be polite with these Hong Kong filmmakers.

Just as Zheng Jing was about to leave, he heard a woman say, "Everyone is here. It's really lively today."

Looking back, I saw two beauties walking in from the door together.

They were all wearing black hollow long skirts, their face shapes and facial features were somewhat similar, and even their chests were equally ordinary.

If it weren't for the height difference, the two women standing together, with the right makeup, really look like twin lotus flowers.

These two beauties are none other than Joey Wong and Rie Miyazawa.

Because they look alike, they co-starred in the art film "Dream in the Garden" this year.

The film is promoted as a female version of Farewell My Concubine.

Farewell My Concubine is also very popular in Japan, and Zhang Guorong has many Japanese fans because of this movie. So Dream in the Garden will also be released in Japan, and the time is today.

It was just screened at a branch venue and was not considered the opening film.

Behind Joey Wong and Rie Miyazawa, there is a handsome guy.

It was none other than Wu Yanzu, the male lead of Dream in the Garden.

“Boss Zheng, we are filming in the mainland and we keep seeing your news.

We finally met today. You are even more handsome in person than on TV."

Hearing Wang Zuxian's enthusiastic greeting, Zheng Jing stopped and said politely: "You are the same, even more beautiful than on the big screen."

Wang Zuxian smiled and said, "I am already an auntie. There are so many beauties in the entertainment industry. I have to accept my age."

Wang Zuxian is 34 years old this year, and her condition has indeed declined. Her face has started to become fatter and her protruding mouth problem has become more serious.

Fortunately, her features are still as handsome as ever, maintaining her beauty.

"Time never defeats beauty." Zheng Jing brought Shu Chang to him and said with a smile, "Teacher Wang, you are the judge this time, you can pay more attention to Shu Chang's performance, her acting is very good."

In addition to promoting the film, Joey Wong is also one of the judges of this year's film festival.

After hearing Zheng Jing's words, Wang Zuxian just said that she would pay attention to it, but didn't take it to heart, and turned around to chat with Liu Dehua and others.

Zheng Jing held Shu Chang's little hand, communicated with the staff for a while, and then prepared to do her makeup.

When I walked into the dressing room, I saw Chen Huiling sitting inside again.

Next to her is Japanese actor Takenouchi Yutaka. The movie "Calm and Passion" starring the two will be screened at the film festival and will be released in Japan soon.

The fact that so many Hong Kong stars came to the Tokyo International Film Festival shows the decline and struggle of Hong Kong films.

Before the mainland film market matures, the Japanese film market is indeed the most attractive.

It's not just the Chinese who have their eyes on this piece of cake.

European and American filmmakers are also very active.

It’s just that they are more professional and tailor their approach to the problem, and the films on display are mainly animations.

DreamWorks brought out "Shrek the Monsters" and Disney brought "Atlantis."

Of course, the Koreans were also present in this scene.

As soon as Zheng Jing sat down, a Korean woman came over to say hello.

"Hello Zheng, nice to meet you."

The woman spoke English with a slight accent.

She was also very beautiful. Zheng Jing recognized her and said, "You are Lee Young-ae, right? I have seen your movies."

This woman is the Korean actress Lee Young-ae.

The movie "Spring Passes" starring her was also shortlisted for the main competition unit of this film festival, and she was one of Shu Chang's competitors for the Best Actress award.

This actress was very famous in Goryeo and had a high status, but she was not well-known in China at that time.

Li Aiying was very surprised to hear that Zheng Jing knew her. She smiled and said, "Thank you for your love. I have watched your TV series many times."

At this time, Lee Young-ae was still relatively thin, with clear facial lines and a high nose bridge that gave her a somewhat aggressive look. She looked somewhat like Lee Boo-jeong.

Although she is not the daughter of a wealthy family, her experience is similar to that of Li Fuzhen.

As a big star in Goryeo, she fell in love with an unknown gigolo. She has repeatedly stated that she doesn't care about her boyfriend's status and income, as long as they love each other.

But the man couldn't stand the pressure in the end and broke up with Lee Young-ae this year.

Because of this incident, Lee Young-ae retired from the entertainment industry for two years after the movie "Spring Passes" was taken off the screen.

After taking a two-year break, she gained some weight and her appearance declined significantly.

But his career is very popular.

The work she made her comeback with was the Korean drama "Dae Jang Geum" which is popular all over Asia.

Zheng Jing knew her only because he had watched Dae Jang Geum.

Lee Young-ae didn't know all this and actually thought that Zheng Jing had seen her movie, so she happily chatted with Zheng Jing for a while.

After Li Yingai left, Shu Chang whispered, "Master, you must be happy today. There are so many beautiful stars at the film festival."

After following Zheng Jing in promotion for a while, Shu Chang also gained some popularity and attracted a certain amount of attention.

But the overall popularity is still not high.

At the film festival, he was just a nobody.

Zheng Jing touched her little head and said, “Although there are many female stars, I still choose to stay with you.

Don’t worry, when “Double Eyes” is released, you will become a big star.

At today's opening ceremony and premiere, you should perform well and don't be nervous."

This year's Tokyo International Film Festival was star-studded and was the focus of media coverage across Asia.

There are also many fans who come here to chase stars or cheer for them.

Zheng Jing has already communicated with Dongbao and will give priority to the Best Actress award to Public Relations' Shu Chang.

If Shu Chang can win an award, he will be the star among stars.

Taking advantage of the release of Double Eyes, a lot of heat was generated to increase popularity.

As for Zheng Jing himself, he doesn't care about awards.

Although there are many stars coming today, Zheng Jing is still very confident that he can become the focus of the whole audience.
