    "Oh, it's Mr. Oshima. I wonder what works you are bringing to the exhibition this time?" Wang Zijun asked. The invitation to directors from various countries was not done by him personally, but by the Golden Horse Awards Organizing Committee.

    Nagisa Oshima pulled Wang Zijun to his movie booth, pointed at the movie poster and said with a smile: "The Golden Horse Film Festival didn't invite me, I came on my own."

    "Oh, I'm here to buy cakes!" Wang Zijun rolled his eyes when he saw the poster, thinking that only a movie ghost like you would invite you here!

    Nagisa Oshima is one of the initiators of the New Wave movement in Japanese films and the most famous red director in Japan.  This guy's father is a fisherman, but his family has a collection of theoretical books on the Communist Party and the Socialist Party. Oshima Nagisa has been influenced by these books since he was a child, and later of course he became a fanatical Communist.

    As for the film Nagisa Oshima is currently participating in, it is called "Max, My Love" and it is a Japanese-French co-production.

    This Max is not a human, but an orangutan. The whole movie is about the human-animal love triangle. Its content will be ahead of its time 20 years later.

    Seeing Wang Zijun coming, the Europeans in front of several booths also gathered around.

    Nagisa Oshima introduced: "This is Jean-Claude Carriere, who is also the screenwriter and producer of this movie. This is Anthony Higgins. This beautiful lady is Charlotte Lan.  Purin.¡±

    These are all celebrities. Although Jean-Claude Carriere is not famous as a director, he is a god as a screenwriter.  He is responsible for screenwriting nearly two hundred films, the most famous of which are "The Big Nose", "The Hussar on the Roof" and "Love in Prague".

    As for Anthony Higgins.  This guy is very famous in Europe now, but he didn't do well in the United States. He went to Hollywood a few years ago and could only play a small role in Spielberg's "Raiders of the Lost Ark."

    ¡°Charlotte Rampling is a blonde and long-legged beauty. This woman is 41 years old, but she takes good care of herself, and her skin is not as rough as that of ordinary white women.

    Although the movie "Max, My Love" was directed by a Japanese, the producers, screenwriters and starring actors are all Europeans.  However, the Golden Horse Film Festival invited Asian films this time. It stands to reason that "Max" is essentially a European film.  My Love" does not meet the criteria.  However, visitors are just guests, and it¡¯s probably hard for the Golden Horse Awards organizing committee to chase people away. After all, this film was made by a Japanese director.

    Wang Zijun stretched out his hand and said: "Oh, hello, welcome to Taipei."

    "Hello, Zachary, nice to meet you." Jean-Claude Carriere said, and the other two people also shook hands and greeted him.

    We chatted casually for a few words.  Wang Zijun understood that these people wanted to use the Golden Horse Film Festival as an opportunity to introduce the animal film "Max, My Love" into the Asian market.  Their first choice was the Tokyo International Film Festival, but at this time, the Tokyo Film Festival was held every two years. The first one was just held last year, and the second one will have to wait until next year.

    ? But tell the truth.  Wang Zijun is not optimistic about the film's performance in the Asian market, although the film has a good reputation among film critics.  Apart from anything else, director Nagisa Oshima is a representative of the street hustlers, and all of his films are niche films.

    It is said that Wang Zijun invested 200,000 US dollars in Nagisa Oshima to build a film studio.  This money was wasted long ago.  Of course, this drifter still heard noises, such as coming back from the Federal Republic of Germany with a big-name trophy.

    Nagisa Oshima kept promoting his new work to Wang Zijun, hoping that Wang Zijun's Wang Cinema would release "Max. My Love" without any embarrassment about investment after screwing up the business.

    Just when Wang Zijun had a headache and wanted to find an excuse to leave, Lin Bowen suddenly came over and said: "Brother Jun. There is a Japanese Mr. Kadokawa looking for you."

    "Haruki Kadokawa?" Wang Zijun asked.

    Lin Bowen said: "No, it's his younger brother Kadokawa Rihihiko."

    "Oh, let's go and meet." Wang Zijun smiled and said to Oshima Nagisa and the others, "I'm sorry, the people from Kadokawa Pictures are looking for me, so I'll excuse you now."

    Although Kadokawa Pictures is not the largest film company in Japan, it is definitely the most popular and prestigious company in recent years.  Nagisa Oshima didn't have the confidence to compete with Kadokawa Eika, so he could only say goodbye to Wang Zijun with a smile.

    Finally got rid of these mortal guys.  Wang Zijun asked: "Where is Kadokawa Rikohiko?"

    Lin Bowen said: "The group headquarters building."

    "Let him wait for a while and let it dry before talking about it. I'll go shopping around first." Wang Zijun said and continued to browse the participating movies from various countries.

    Although nominally inviting filmmakers from all Asian countries and regions to participate in the Golden Horse Film Festival this time, in terms of quantity, the participating films are quite large.They are all films from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan.  The Philippines, South Korea, and Singapore followed, followed by countries such as India and Malaysia.

    Like India, there are only three participating films in total, and Malaysia has even fewer, only one.

    After wandering around for more than half an hour, Wang Zijun sat back to Taipei City. I guess Mr. Kadokawa Rihihiko was almost done waiting.

    The reason why Wang Zijun was so cool with him was because if Kadokawa Rihihiko came to cooperate with Wang Films, he could just talk to the people below.  If you insist on talking to him, Wang Zijun, you still can't figure out what it is about. Let it cool down first.

    It was almost noon when he returned to the city leisurely. Wang Zijun had lunch before going to the company. It happened that Kadokawa Rihihiko went to eat again at this time.

    It was not until three o'clock in the afternoon that Kadokawa Rihihiko finally met Wang Zijun. As soon as he met, he bowed and smiled: "Hello, Mr. Wang, I am Kadokawa Rihihiko, the general manager of Kadokawa Bookstore."

    "Hello, Mr. Kadokawa, I admire your brother very much. Say hello to him for me." Wang Zijun raised his hand and said, "Please sit down."

    Kadokawa Rihihiko sat down and said: "I can do it. Brother She also admires Mr. Wang very much. In Chinese idioms, this is called heroes cherish heroes."

    Wang Zijun smiled and said: "Mr. Kadokawa is indeed a great talent. This Chinese saying is very good."

    "You're grateful." Kadokawa Rihihiko said.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    ??In fact, it is not the case. Kadokawa Pictures started out as a bookstore. Ten years ago, Japanese movies declined to the extreme, but the economic prosperity ushered in a small peak.  This contrast caused capital outside the industry to be eager to move into the film industry (Wang Zijun and Zou Wenhuai jointly acquired a Japanese theater chain and distribution company at that time), and then began to acquire film resources. Among them, Kadokawa Shoten was one of them.  Some ordinary film companies only acquired Daiei Co., Ltd. after 2000.

    ?? And Kadokawa Haruki, Kadokawa Rihihiko¡¯s brother, is the founder of Kadokawa Pictures.

    Many people compare Wang Zijun with the great Japanese director Akira Kurosawa, but more filmmakers in the industry often compare Wang Zijun with Haruki Kadokawa.

    ?? Kadokawa Haruki is the direct young master of the Kadokawa Zaibatsu and a famous dandy in Japan. At the same time, he is also known as the "prodigal son" because of his generous spending.

    The reason why Wang Zijun and Kadokawa Haruki are compared is because he is a suave man and there are definitely many more women around him than Wang Zijun.  Not only that, Kadokawa Haruki, like Wang Zijun, is known for his talent and has the status of a poet, writer, director, etc.  Moreover, he is as talented as Wang Zijun. His hobbies are exploration and boxing, and his skills seem to be pretty good.

    Kadokawa Haruki¡¯s greatest achievement is to create a new model of Japanese movies, integrating Western literature, Japanese orthodox history and commercial literature, comics and movies into one operation, which has brought Japanese movies out of the trough and prospered again.  The films he directed often caused a box office sensation in Japan and commercially surpassed the works of older filmmakers such as Akira Kurosawa.

    By comparing them together, we can see that Wang Zijun and Kadokawa Haruki have many similarities.

    After chatting for a while, Kadokawa Harihiko started to get down to the topic: "I heard that Mr. Wang's "Harry Potter 4" is about to be completed?"

    "Yes, the deadline should be before the year." Wang Zijun nodded. The manuscript of the novel was written during his two months in mainland China. I don't know how this little Japan can be so well-informed.

    "Harry Potter" is a very great novel, and I hope Kadokawa Shoten can obtain the Japanese publishing rights for his fourth volume," Kadokawa Rikohiko said.

    Wang Zijun laughed and said: "Just for the copyright of "Harry Potter", is it worth Mr. Kadokawa's personal trip?"

    Kadokawa Rihihiko said: "Kadokawa Shoten also hopes to buy the film adaptation rights of Mr. Wang's "Harry Potter" series."

    Wang Zijun said in surprise: "Are you going to buy it and let Japanese actors star in it? This is a novel that takes place in the UK."

    Kadokawa Rikohiko said: "The plot can be modified, but if we want to sell box office in Asia, the movie should still have actors from the East."

    Wang Zijun asked: "Then do you think I will sell the film rights of this novel?"

    "Does Mr. Wang want to direct the "Harry Potter" movie himself?" Kadokawa Rihihiko asked doubtfully. He came here because he saw that Wang Zijun had not made a movie for ten years after writing this novel.

    "If you don't shoot now, it doesn't mean you won't shoot in the future." Wang Zijun said, laughing in his heart that these Japanese people not only spend money to buy land in the United States,House, actually went to Taiwan to buy books from him.

    Kadokawa Haruki has always been a big spender. Now with the continuous appreciation of the yen, this guy does not invest in buying land and building factories like other Japanese businessmen. Instead, he goes around frantically shopping for the copyrights of literature, movies, comics and other works.

    Fortunately, Kadokawa Harihiko had no illusions about buying out the copyright of Wang Zijun's novel. He thought about it and said, "Since Mr. Wang doesn't plan to film it now, it won't be a loss for you if we film it. On the contrary, it will increase the reputation of this novel.  If you sell it in the future, the value will definitely increase.¡±

    What Haruki Kadokawa means is that Wang Zijun does not sell the copyright to Warner Bros. like J.K. Rowling, but sells and resells it like Jin Yong's novels, making money every time it is remade - so the top ten martial arts writers  Among them, Jin Daxia made more money from selling novels than the next nine people combined.

    Wang Zijun will naturally not refuse this kind of thing, but Kadokawa Rihihiko has an additional condition, that is, within twenty years, Wang Zijun must not agree to other Japanese directors to remake the "Harry Potter" series of movies.
