    It takes more than seven hours to fly from Tokyo to Singapore. Although it is not as long as Hong Kong to Los Angeles, it is still a long journey.  Shen Chong read the information and took a nap. When he woke up, he saw a dictionary on Qiu Siyu's lap and a Japanese magazine in her hand. While reading, she moved her lips lightly and made an inaudible sound, practicing  She had been doing this since she got on the plane. A few hours passed without slacking off or feeling tired.  "Xiao Yu, please take a break. You work too hard and put me under a lot of pressure." Shen Chong shook his neck and said, "I saw you were still learning Hokkien a while ago, and now you can speak Japanese. If you continue like this, I will  I can't afford your salary." Qiu Siyu pursed her lips and smiled. She put down the magazine and asked, "Mr. Shen, do you want something to drink?" "No," Shen Chong sat up and saw Yamaguchi on the magazine.  Momoe's stills in "Die Hard" asked: "What did the magazine say?" "This is a film review, saying that although "Die Hard" did well at the box office, Yamaguchi Momoe's scenes  Not much. She shouldn't use such a film with no artistic value as a retirement work. The author believes that it is Hori Production Co., Ltd.'s fault. They sacrificed Yamaguchi Momoe's artistic career for financial gain. This text  The words were very fierce, calling on the entire Japanese entertainment industry to crusade against me?" Shen Chong smiled and said, "I am the big devil behind the scenes." "No.  He picked up the magazines that he had already read on the seat and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen, you have a very good reputation in Japan. These magazines are all very popular in Japan. They all talk about you."  "Good words." "I'm not that well-known in Japan, right?" "I didn't have it before, but now I have it." Qiu Siyu picked up a magazine, flipped it to him, and said, "This is it.  This is the latest issue of the Japanese Music Oricon rankings. "That Flower" has been number one for the seventh consecutive week, with sales approaching 10,000 UU copies. According to the current hot sales trend, Yamaguchi Momoe will soon become the first single in Japan.  A female singer who has sold more than one million songs will also be the first female singer whose total album sales exceed 10 million. Her previous albums sold an average of only 340,000 copies. This time her sales can double. In addition to the excitement of retirement,  In addition, the good songs written by Mr. Shen are also considered to be an important reason. Also, Shinji Tanimura's cover of "Star" is also on the Oricon chart. It has been more than 3 months since this song was released, and it is still ranked in the top 20.  , the sales volume has reached more than 500,000. Mr. Shen, you are now the king of the Japanese music industry. You are very popular. Magazines say that you are Hong Kong¡¯s Tsutsumi Kyohei. "The Japanese pop music market is different from other countries. Most other countries are based on albums.  Music is released in the form of singles, and Japan likes to sell music in the form of singles. In the era when aIkmau had just come out and CDs had not yet come out, Yamaguchi Momoe¡¯s total record sales were close to 10 million, which was definitely very popular.  However, plagiarism carries with it the inherent original sin. Praising words and dazzling data not only fail to bring pleasure, but also make Shen Chong feel a little awkward. He turned to ask: "Who is Tsutsumi Kyohei?" "He is the most famous composer in Japan.  He entered the industry in 1919. Since 19UR, he has entered the top ten sales rankings of Japanese composers every year. Among them, he has been the annual sales champion in 1971, 73, 75, and 76, and has won the Japanese Record of the Year Award 5 times.  He has won trophies and has written hundreds of songs, more than a dozen of which have become No. 1 on the Oricon Chart. Hiromi Iwasaki, Masahiko Kondo, and Weng Qianyu and Ouyang Feifei, who went to Japan from Taiwan to develop their careers, all became popular after singing his songs.  "This is an enhanced version of Miyuki Nakajima." Shen Chong thought, Qiu Siyu continued: "The Japanese media believes that Mr. Shen can completely let go and let Kurosawa spend money crazily without warning, and then wrote "Then"  "Blower Flower" is such a good song, and he also made a romantic arrangement for Yamaguchi Momoe's retirement concert that touched the whole Japan. He is a big boss who respects artists very much and understands art very much, so he has a good reputation. " "Really?  " Shen Chong touched his chin. It was really unintentional. He originally just used Yamaguchi Momoe to promote the movie, but he didn't expect it to gain a good reputation. He asked again: "What do the Japanese media think of "Die Hard"?  "The reviews are mixed." Qiu Siyu, who has a very strong ability to summarize, said: "The sound and light effects have reached the first-class level in Hollywood, and the kung fu action is the best in the world, but the pace is too fast, the plot is not delicate enough, and it cannot move people's hearts." "Write  Are the film critics all old men?" Shen Chong smiled and said, "Japan is obviously one of the countries with the fastest pace of life in the world, but their film companies are always making slow-moving movies about romance.  , A leisurely tour around the mountains and rivers made people panic, so young people in Japan stopped going to the cinema, and the film industry also slumped. " "Well," Qiu Siyu changed another newspaper and said: "  This is today's "Yomiuri Shimbun". The financial edition said that the box office of "Die Hard" exceeded 1.8 billion yen in its first week. If it is released for one month, it is likely to surpass "Shadow Warrior" 44 and become the movie box office champion in 19RU.  , Japanese film companies should reflect on themselves.¡±  In 19RU, one U.S. dollar could be exchanged for 0 yen, and 1.8 billion yen could be converted into U.S. dollars, which was only 00,000. Shen Chong was not satisfied with this result. You must know that in 1978, Jiahe found a stand-in, and Bruce Lee was not photographed.  The finished posthumous work "Game of Death" was tinkered with, re-edited, and then released in Japan. The box office reached 900 million yen. "Die Hard" has a strong lineup, well-made production, and popular Japanese artists, so it deserves to win  Higher box office.  According to industry rules, the total box office of a popular movie is about three times the box office of the first week. Based on this estimate, "Die Hard" can probably get a box office of U.S.$10,000 in Japan. The Japanese film industry is in a slump, and theater chains  It is very weak. According to the contract, Oriental Charm can get 55% of the total box office. In this way, all production costs are recovered in the Japanese market alone, and the rest of the box office in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Europe and North America are considered profits.  High investment and high return. The money earned from one movie of "Die Hard" is probably more than what Shaw Brothers made from dozens of low-cost movies a year. Being stimulated by Shen Chong, he has a rich net worth and has always wanted to enter the international market.  Run Run Shaw, who has repeatedly failed in the film market, will he try the market again?  After Jiahe has tasted the sweetness, will he put aside the oriental charm and work on large-scale productions on his own? ?? Will the newly established Golden Princess also engage in large-scale production?  As a financial city, Hong Kong is flooded with hot money looking for investment opportunities. Will they be jealous and come to test the film industry?  If that were the case, it would be great. Shen Chong is not afraid of competition, but is afraid of too few competitors
