    Nippon Budokan is the main venue for the 2019 Olympic Games Judo competition. After the Olympics, it often holds national Judo competitions, so there are many tatami mats in the venue. When there are concerts, most of the tatami mats will be put away and placed in the venue.  In the warehouse below, seats are placed in the open space, but there are several areas with excellent viewing positions. The tatami mats are not closed. Instead, foldable screens are used to enclose small rooms, and health mats are laid out, accompanied by Japanese-style  The coffee table is like a private room in a teahouse, very stylish and specially designed to serve VIP audiences.  Half an hour before the opening, Shen Chong walked into his private room under the leadership of Qiu Siyu. There were already four people sitting in the private room, including the former editor-in-chief of "First Movie Review" and the current editor of Oriental Charm Japan Branch.  The person in charge is Shu Ming, the executive director of Toho Co., Ltd. Tanaka Yuyuki, the boss of Yamaguchi Momoe's agency Horiu Weifu, and Japan's most successful kung fu star in Hong Kong Yasuaki Kurata.  "Sorry, I'm late." Shen Chong apologized with a smile. After greeting the four people, he sat cross-legged on the main seat facing the stage and joked to Hori Weifu who was sitting on his right: "President Hori  , How are you feeling tonight? Are you feeling very sad and regretful? "Biweifu is in his forties, has a long face, a nose job, and an impressive pair of eyebrows. After listening to Shu Ming's translation, he bowed slightly and pursed his lips to smile.  He smiled and said: "Shen Jun is right, I am indeed very sorry that Miss Yamaguchi retired at the peak of her acting career, which is a great loss to the Japanese entertainment industry." "Is it your loss?"  Because of the original difficulty, Shen Chong was very unhappy with Horiwa, but in business, one cannot be emotional, so he cursed in his heart, but said: "Miss Yamaguchi retired for love, and she will definitely become a legend in the Japanese entertainment industry.  The production company will also be praised for being humane, and more artists will definitely join President Hori's company in the future. " "Thank you Shen Jun for your kind words. Please look after me for my future business."  We had a very pleasant cooperation this time, and I think there will be more opportunities in the future. "Of course there are more opportunities" Shen Chong was thinking about it while he was thinking about it, and planned to find an opportunity to give Weifu's agency to him.  Swallowed.  In his previous life, Shen Chong once watched a movie called "My Girlfriend is a Robot". The movie was very average, but the heroine Haruka Ayase had a very lovable temperament. Later, I searched for information on the Internet and remembered her agency.  ¡ª¡ªHori Production Co., Ltd., one of the four major brokerage companies in Japan, in addition to Ayase Haruka, also has popular artists such as Fukada Kyoko and Tsumabuki Satoshi.  Yamaguchi Momoe's agency is also this company. At the beginning of the year, Zeng Lizhen contacted Yamaguchi Momoe, but was repeatedly made things difficult for her. So she collected a lot of information about Momoe Yamaguchi and studied his preferences. When Shen Chong was helping her solve the problem,  Also took a look.  Horiwifu was originally the leader of a rock band. He founded Hori Production Co., Ltd. in 19UU. At the beginning of its establishment, its strength was very weak. He once mocked himself as an "inch-and-a-half-inch long worm". Until 2019, he was on the TV station  In a singing competition called "A Star Is Born", two 14-year-old junior high school girls were discovered, one named Yamaguchi Momoe and the other Mori Masako. These two little girls quickly became popular, making Hori Production Co., Ltd.  The strength has greatly increased, and since then it has established a firm foothold in the Japanese entertainment industry and has become a top agency.  Hori Production Co., Ltd. has four major characteristics. One is that it is good at discovering new talents from talent shows. The other is that it never gets involved with the underworld. The other is that no matter how popular the artist is, the salary is not high. The third is that it never abandons the outdated artist.  Even if he is no longer popular, he will continue to support him.  This is a mean but not lacking in humane agency, and Vivian is a sympathetic tyrant.  Since in the 21st century, this company still exists and is doing well, it is better to take advantage of Yamaguchi Momoe's retirement and the company's weakness to control it and use it as a bridgehead to tap Japanese entertainment talents.  Shen Chong chatted with Horiu for a few words, and then went to chat with Tanaka Yuyuki. When the two were filming "Shadow Warrior", they often communicated on the phone. Although they only met twice, they were not strangers.  In fact, he went to Toho in the afternoon and had a meeting with Tanaka Yuyuki, but it was for official business. In the evening, he invited him to come to Yamaguchi Momoe's concert, mainly to establish a personal relationship, and then ask him to help persuade Kurosawa.  When Ming goes to Hong Kong to film, Tanaka Tomoyuki has worked for Toho Co., Ltd. for more than 50 years. His status in the Japanese film industry is similar to Run Run Shaw's status in the Hong Kong film industry. He is an old friend of Akira Kurosawa. With him as his backer, he has a higher chance of winning.  "Shen Jun first invested in Kurosawa-kun's "Shadow Samurai" and then asked Ms. Yamaguchi to star in "Die Hard". I wonder if he will continue to cooperate with our Japanese entertainment industry in the future?" "Of course he will." Shen Chong looked at  He glanced at Yasuaki Kurata, who was sitting outside and drinking tea, and said: ""Die Hard" is a story that takes place in Hong Kong. I plan to make another story that takes place in Tokyo in a while. Mr. Kurata  , are you interested in working together? "In the late 1970s, the image of tough guys was popular in the Japanese entertainment industry. Takakura Ken, Miura Tomokazu and others had very stiff facial lines, and Kurata Yasuaki was no exception. He had no expression, just raised his eyebrows.Then he supported his legs with both hands, bowed and said in Cantonese: "I am honored to be filming for Mr. Shen." "Well, I will contact you in the near future to discuss the schedule and contract." The power of role models is infinite,  The Chinese are best at setting up examples, and Yasuaki Kurata is the example Shen Chong wants to set up.  As early as 1970, Kurata Yasuaki went to Taiwan for development. In 19 years, he went to Hong Kong to join Golden Harvest. Under the orchestration of Wu Siyuan, he collaborated with Liang Xiaolong, Huang Yuanshen and others to make a series of kung fu movies, which were very popular in Southeast Asia and became  The first Japanese action actor to become popular in Hong Kong.  Kurata Yasuaki is best known to movie fans for his role as the Black Dragon Club's chief instructor, Fumio Funakoshi, in the classic kung fu movie "Fist of Heroes". At that time, he was nearly fifty years old, and his skills were still impressive, but Shen Chong wanted to teach him.  He is a typical example, not because of the good impression generated by the memory of his previous life, but because when he arrived in Taiwan, he worked hard to learn Mandarin, and when he arrived in Hong Kong, he worked hard to learn Cantonese. Such a Japanese actor who actively integrates into the Chinese society cannot be better. So Shen Chong is  This time, Yasuaki Kurata was specially invited to come and watch the concert with the top executives of Toho and Hori Productions. The purpose was to increase his worth, significantly increase his career and income, and thereby increase Hong Kong's attractiveness to Japanese actors.  At 8 o'clock in the evening, the concert officially started. Yamaguchi Momoe walked on the stage in a long skirt. She can become a superstar who symbolizes the times. She is not famous in vain. Shen Chong can't understand Japanese, but Yamaguchi Momoe's  Singing also moved him, so after the performance started, almost no one in the box spoke. Even Tanaka Yuyuki, who was nearly 70 years old, looked serious.  The more than three-hour concert came to an end before the curtain came down. Before the curtain call, Yamaguchi Momoe made a move that is still talked about decades later - she raised the microphone high, and then bent  Lower your waist and slowly lower it to the floor.  While she was doing this action, a muffled sound came from the eight corners of the martial arts hall, and then countless colorful petals floated down from the concert venue, as if it was raining flowers all over the sky.  "This, this, this?" "President Hori, this is my gift to Miss Yamaguchi." Shen Chong looked up at the sky, letting the petals fall from his face, and said, "Miss Yamaguchi is like a cherry blossom, brilliant and beautiful.  It was short-lived, but now it¡¯s past the cherry blossom season, so I used eight air cannons to shoot out 100,000 roses to simulate the scene of cherry blossoms falling.¡± Such a spectacular and beautiful scene must be unforgettable for the audience in front of the TV.  It will definitely be on the headlines tomorrow, and by then, "Die Hard" can legitimately advertise.
