Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 507: Cannon Pictures is about to hit the street
Monica Bellucci came here three nights in a row to "find trouble."

Hanyu Hideki also stayed with Italian ball flower for three days in a row.

Not surprisingly, Mao Daichi suffered from insomnia for three days.

Looking at Mao Daichi's sleep-deprived appearance, it was naturally impossible for Hanyu Hideki to say that he didn't realize anything.

In fact, he had some suspicions after the first day, so he chose to find excitement in the display garage.

As a result, Mao Daichi still had insomnia the next day.

Therefore, on the third night, after he found Monica Bellucci at midnight, even when he was busy with the flower bulbs, he did not forget to observe his surroundings carefully.

Then he discovered the clues of being spied on.

In the early morning, Monica Bellucci was satisfied with being fed, but Hideki Hanyu said directly to Hideki, "Don't come tomorrow night."

"Why? Aren't you happy?"

Although she saw Hanyu Hideki's secret, she also felt that her secret was also discovered by Hanyu Hideki.

It was exactly where she was hiding early yesterday morning, and she immediately understood what Hideki Hanyu was talking about.

After a long time, Daichi Mao seemed to be preparing to return to the second floor because she had not gained anything.

Looking through the faint light outside the window, it could be anyone but Mao Daichi.

When Hanyu Hideki went to the bathroom, he glanced at the stairs inadvertently, and then did nothing.

A figure wearing a silk suspender nightdress carefully walked down the stairs.

He was running vigorously for exercise, and although Daichi Mao was better than the previous two days, he was still obviously a little sluggish.

But just at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the darkness.

Hanyu Hideki asked a few questions in a pretentious manner.

But as soon as she started talking, she suddenly stopped.

"Okay, go back and stay here, I'm going to Los Angeles soon."

"Will you take me with you?"

Understanding Hideki Hanyu's ball flower can tell when Hideki Hanyu is flirting with her and when his attitude is serious.

After the beauty walked down the stairs, she looked around carefully on the first floor. After finding nothing, she walked to the display garage to take a look.

While Hanyu Hideki was speaking, he walked out of the dark shadow beside the stairs, walked step by step to the beauty, and used his height to look down at the beauty.

Because the corners of Hanyu Hideki's mouth curled up in a sly smile, Mao Daichi realized that she had been deceived.

After Monica Bellucci finished speaking, she swayed her waist and left.

Hanyu Hideki didn't explain at all. He just looked at Aka motionless and asked in a calm tone, "Didn't you understand what I said?"

Sure enough, I woke up on the third morning.

"Really, Dadisang, be careful when drinking water. Don't spill it everywhere, because when I came down to drink water last night, I found someone spilling water on the ground."

The moment Mao Daichi heard the sound, he was so frightened that he trembled all over and opened his mouth to scream.

"I don't understand what Hanyu-san is talking about. I just came down to drink water."

I also know what to say in what situation.

Mao Daichi listened to Hideki Hanyu's words, and then looked in the direction pointed by Hideki Hanyu.

Then, the day passed by in such a hurry.

"What are you looking for, Mao-san?"

"Don't you want to go?"

Kuroki Hitomi once again cared about her friend and asked him if he was feeling uncomfortable.

At midnight that night, even though he knew that Monica Bellucci would not come again, Hideki Hanyu climbed out of bed after Hitomi Kuroki fell asleep.

Mao Daichi explained calmly.

He opened his mouth to argue, "I obviously..."

When Hanyu Hideki said this, he pointed in one direction.

In the dark, on the first floor of the stairs.

"Are you surprised I'm here?"

So she immediately changed her attitude, stood up on tiptoes and kissed Hanyu Hideki, and then said in a deliberately resentful tone, "What a heartless man."

Mao Daichi no longer cares about what Hideki Hanyu knows. She doesn't want to stay here for a second.

"I won't be late."

If it weren't for the darkness, Hideki Hanyu would have been able to see that the pretty face of the beauty opposite had turned as red as a cooked shrimp shell.

But when she judged who was speaking through the voice, she covered her mouth forcibly, and the fright on her face turned into deep surprise.

Monica Bellucci, who was disheveled, put her arms around the scumbag's neck and spoke coquettishly in a charming tone.

"Or...are you wondering why I'm not where you want to see me today?"

"Sorry, I'm going to rest."

After saying that, the beauty raised her legs and wanted to bypass Hanyu Hideki and take the stairs back to the bedroom on the second floor.

But as soon as she moved, an arm was placed on the wall next to her, blocking her way to the stairs.

The beauty was overwhelmed by this turn of events. She turned around and was about to speak, but she saw Hanyu Hideki's whole body already in front of her.

Hanyu Hideki's handsome face was less than a palm away from hers.

For a moment, she seemed to be able to feel the warmth radiating from the man's body.

"Miss Mao, you haven't told me yet, so what are you talking about?"

When Hanyu Hideki spoke, Daichi Mao could feel Hanyu Hideki's breathing.

Then, her face turned redder.

"Miss Mao's face is really red, is it because she feels uncomfortable?"

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he touched the beauty's face with his other hand.

Hanyu Hideki's fingers brought a touch of coldness to Daichi Mao's hot face.

But before the beauty could feel it carefully, Hanyu Hideki took his hand back.

Immediately afterwards, Hanyu Hideki continued to get closer to the beauty.

When the two were almost close to each other, Hanyu Hideki's mouth came to Daichi Mao's ear, and then he spoke softly.

"Miss Mao, your face is really hot. Is it because of me?"

At this time, Daichi Mao felt Hanyu Hideki's body pressing against him. Not only was his face extremely hot, but his whole body felt so weak and weak as never before.

Her mind was filled with the images she had seen over the past few nights.

Memory and reality are constantly entangled.

At this moment, she only felt as if in the next moment, Hanyu Hideki would launch a violent offensive against her.

Even unconsciously, she had turned her head towards Hanyu Hideki's face, as if she couldn't wait for Hanyu Hideki to take the initiative, and she wanted to dedicate herself first.

But just at this moment, Hanyu Hideki suddenly took a step back.

He looked at her calmly and said, "Miss Mao, go to bed early, otherwise you will be sluggish again tomorrow."

After saying that, he didn't care about Daichi Mao's reaction and left first.

Next, Hanyu Hideki entered the bathroom on the first floor to take a shower.

Tonight, the anger of sleeping with Kuroki Hitomi in his arms was not extinguished by the "cannon" ball flowers sent at midnight, but it was also fueled by teasing Mao Daichi.

So I took several cold showers before I managed to calm down.

When he finished taking a shower and left the bathroom, Mao Daichi, who was originally teased by him on the first floor, was gone. Instead, there was someone he didn't expect.

"Hitomi-chan, why are you going downstairs if you don't sleep?"

That's right, in the brightly lit living room on the first floor, Hitomi Kuroki, who was obviously asleep, was sitting on the sofa.

More or less, the scumbag was a little panicked.

After all, Daichi Mao found out about the night party ball flower, and he backhandedly teased Daichi Mao. Although he was not afraid of exposing these things.

But Kuroki Hitomi is a pregnant woman after all. If she is stimulated to the point of making a mistake, it will be a big problem.

But immediately afterwards, Heimutong's words made him feel relieved.

"I noticed that Hanyu-kun wasn't here, so I came down to take a look."

Kuroki Hitomi said, already stood up and walked to Hanyu Hideki, gently hugged the scumbag's waist, and put his head on Hanyu Hideki's chest.

"Hanyu-kun, did you take a shower like before a few nights ago?"

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he immediately borrowed a donkey and went downhill, "Yes."

Kuromu Hitomi said guiltily, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

Of course Kuroki Hitomi knew what Hideki Hanyu was like.

Under normal circumstances, she would be extremely demanding, and she couldn't handle it on her own.

Now that she couldn't sleep every night and had to take cold baths to suppress her desires, she was certainly moved.

She raised her head and said to Hanyu Hideki, "Hanyu-kun, please stop accompanying me and go back to Neon."

Hanyu Hideki smiled and asked, "I finally came here, and I haven't even been here for a few days, and you want to drive me away?"

"no……"

Hanyu Hideki didn't wait for Kuroki Hitomi to finish what he said, and said first, "Stop thinking about it and go rest. You can't stay up late now."

After saying that, Hanyu Hideki hugged Kuroki Hitomi and went to rest.

Silent all night.

When Hideki Hanyu gets up in the morning, he goes for a morning jog as usual.

After he returned from training, Kuroki Hitomi and Daichi Mao were already having breakfast downstairs.

He also sat down and began to feast, while chatting with the two of them.

Everything was business as usual for Kuroki Hitomi.

But when Daichi Mao faced him, she obviously felt different from before.

His eyes were evasive and his words were a little strange.

If the maid hadn't just delivered today's newspaper, Kuroki Hitomi would have read it intently, otherwise she would have noticed something was wrong.

After a while, Hitomi Kuroki suddenly pointed to a piece of news in the entertainment section of the newspaper and said, "The Superman movie is going to be released tonight. How about we go see the movie?"

Hideki Hanyu glanced at the date, it was already July 23rd.

What Hitomi Kuroki is talking about must be the midnight screening of "Superman 4".

He immediately said, "This movie is released on the 24th, and there is a midnight screening tonight. How can you go so late?"

Kuroki Hitomi seemed to want to see it, so he added, "Then let's do it tomorrow."

Hideki Hanyu objected again, "Your current physical condition is not suitable for going to the cinema."

"I just want to see this movie."

Kuroki Hitomi directly grabbed Hanyu Hideki and began to beg.

Hideki Hanyu thought what was so good about a bad movie, but when faced with Hitomi Kuroki's plea, he finally nodded and said, "You can watch it, but you can just do it at home. There is no need to go to the cinema."

As a practitioner in the entertainment industry, Hitomi Kuroki asked with some confusion after hearing Hanyu Hideki's words, "This movie has just been prepared to be released. There can't be a video tape."

Hanyu Hideki said with a smile, "Haven't you watched the movie in the movie theater at Moon Lake?"

Kuroki Hitomi shook his head, "No." "The projection hall at Moon Lake cannot play video tapes, it can only play film from the theater."

Having said this, Hanyu Hideki patted Kuroki Hitomi's hand and said, "Okay, you don't have to worry about this. I guarantee you can watch the movie tonight."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he left the dining table and walked towards the study.

He did not start creating immediately, but called the office of the manager of Yunshang Pictures.

After the call was connected, the secretary transferred it to the manager, Fred Weber.

Fred Weber asked, "Boss, is there anything you can do on the phone at this time?"

Hanyu Hideki said directly, "Can you contact Warner and ask them to send a screening team to my Moon Lake Manor to screen Superman 4?"

Fred Weber said helplessly, "Boss, it would be more convenient for you to ask people from Blockbuster or Elf Entertainment to contact Warner for this matter."

Fred Weber said this because, through continuous expansion, Blockbuster has now become one of the important monetization channels for Hollywood film companies.

Not to mention Elf Entertainment.

Nominally, Blockbuster was acquired by Elf Entertainment in order to expand its rental game cartridge channels.

As a result, the game cartridge rental business did not take off, but the video rental market exploded.

According to outside comments on this matter, Elf Entertainment's investment in Blockbuster is a typical case of deliberately planting flowers but not blooming, and unintentionally planting willows to create shade.

Of course, Hideki Hanyu knew very well why Elf Entertainment bought Blockbuster in the first place, but he could never tell it.

But having said that, what Hollywood pays most attention to now is actually not Blockbuster, but its own three major game platforms.

For example, DC's most popular comic character Batman was launched as the first game on the EGP arcade platform last year, and was also ported to the PS console platform this year.

Since its release at E3 in March, according to data released by Warner, the first "Batman" game cartridge on the PS console platform alone has sold more than copies worldwide.

This alone brought in revenue of $28 million to Warner.

If you include the EGP platform, the Batman game relies on Genie Entertainment's two platforms to generate revenue of nearly 50 million US dollars.

And this is just the beginning.

The sales of the first Batman game cartridge on the PS console platform are still rising.

According to estimates from the Elf Entertainment Sales Department, the final sales volume should reach one million.

And it will definitely be transplanted to the Genie handheld platform in the future, but no one can judge the number yet.

This shows how important Genie Entertainment’s game monetization channels are to Hollywood in today’s era.

Hanyu Hideki said nonchalantly, "It's the same, they are showing me movies anyway."

"Okay, I will contact you immediately, boss, when you want to see it."

Fred Weber understood that he was just a messenger, and it was Hanyu Hideki who was selling Warner's face, not him who made the call.

"Of course today."

"That should be no problem. There aren't many midnight screenings, so there must be spare copies."

Fred Weber said this and asked Hanyu Hideki, "Boss, do you have time to come to Los Angeles recently?"

Hanyu Hideki replied, "Yes, I will go there soon. If you have anything to ask me about, we can wait until we meet."

"Okay, boss."

After hanging up the phone, Hanyu Hideki no longer cared about the matter.

When the time came in the afternoon, someone indeed called to communicate with him about the screening.

In the evening, a screening team arrived at Moon Lake Manor and screened "Superman 4" for Hanyu Hideki and the others in a small screening room that could accommodate people.

The Square Squad protects the film quite closely.

After all, it's okay to show it to save face, but it would be bad if the film was actually leaked.

Of course, Hanyu Hideki also had no interest in film.

In fact, he is not interested in the movie "Superman 4".

When the movie ended, Hideki Hanyu thought to himself that it was indeed a bad movie.

Although he didn't have high hopes for the special effects of the 1980s, it was so bad that he could see the tightrope hanging from Superman's flight.

Coupled with the perfunctory and boring plot, it's no wonder that it became a hit after it was released.

He wasted so much time, he wanted to use a pseudonym as a film critic and spray it in the newspaper.

"This movie is not good to watch. Is Warner going to lose money?" After leaving the screening room, Hitomi Kuroki also made this comment.

Hideki Hanyu chuckled and said, "How is that possible? Warner is just the distributor of this movie, and the production is handled by another company."

Although this movie was a flop, it still had a box office of over 10 million, so Warner would have no problem recovering its own distribution expenses.

Of course, Warner will still lose money in the long run.

After all, Superman is Warner's IP. It is certain that it will be hidden for a long time after being ruined like this.

"Which producer is it?" Kuroki Hitomi asked curiously.

"Cannon Pictures, a company founded by Minahan Golan and Yoram Globus."

After Hideki Hanyu finished speaking, Hitomi Kuroki and Mao Daichi in front of him both showed confused expressions.

Obviously, the two women have no idea about Cannon Pictures, a famous film company in Hollywood.

It’s not surprising that Neon’s entertainment market is quite closed. Even those in the industry only know Hollywood from a few major studios or world-famous movie stars.

Hideki Hanyu said, "Well, it's enough for you to know that the movie is not good. As for who shot the movie, there is no need to know so clearly."

Hitomi Kuroki asked, "Why does Hanyu-kun know so much about Hollywood?"

"Cloud Entertainment is going to open up the market in Hollywood, so I definitely need to understand the situation here."

Hanyu Hideki looked at his watch as he spoke, then hugged Kuroki Hitomi and walked upstairs, "It's getting late, Hitomi-chan should rest.

……

In the bedroom, Hideki Hanyu hugged Hitomi Kuroki, but his mind was thinking about "Superman 4".

To be precise, I am thinking about Cannon Pictures, which lost money because of "Superman 4".

After all, due to Stan Lee's operation, the copyrights of Marvel's "Spider-Man" and "Captain America" ​​are still in the hands of Cannon Pictures.

Historically, after the failure of "Superman 4", Cannon Pictures insisted on being unable to operate until 1988, and eventually sold itself to EMI Films.

But even if the company went bankrupt, that guy Minahan Golan still ran away with the copyrights of "Spider-Man" and "Captain America".

Although in the future, as long as they don't continue to renew their copyright contracts like Stan Lee, "Spider-Man" and "Captain America" ​​can be smoothly recovered.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst.

What if that guy Minahan Golan plays some tricks.

It seemed that we had to make more preparations. This time we went to Los Angeles to meet Fred Weber, and he wanted to make a good plan.
-
July th.

The black S-76 helicopter flew through the air and headed straight for Los Angeles.

In the modified cabin, Hanyu Hideki and his accompanying team sat.

Two hours later, the plane landed slowly on the roof of Hibiscus Garden.

Hanyu Hideki and his party stepped off the plane one after another.

"Sir, you are back."

Maid Deng Na came up to say hello.

After Liu Xiaoli returned to China, only the maid and others were left in Hibiscus Garden.

"Is there nothing happening in Hibiscus Garden recently?" Hanyu Hideki asked casually.

Zheng Na said, "It's okay. Do you need to prepare something to eat for sir?"

Hideki Hanyu said, "No, I won't stay here at night."

While they were talking, they had already walked into the garage of Hibiscus Garden.

Although I haven't been here for a while, all the vehicles are not dusty at all, and they have obviously been taken care of regularly.

Soon, the motorcade centered on the extended Rolls-Royce 'Silver Dawn' drove out of Hibiscus Garden and headed towards Century City.

In the Rolls-Royce, Monica Bellucci, who had been following Hanyu Hideki, deliberately asked, "Boss, why don't you stay in the Hibiscus Garden at night?"

Hanyu Hideki glanced at the flower, "What? Do you want to live there?"

"It's so beautiful, who wouldn't want to live there? I also want to see what the place where you and Miss Liu live looks like."

Seeing Monica Bellucci look so tea-filled.

Hanyu Hideki immediately snorted and said, "Want to live in Hibiscus Garden? Don't you like your house on Sunset Boulevard? It just so happens that housing prices in Los Angeles have increased recently, and I can make a lot of money by selling it."

Monica Bellucci hurriedly said, "BOSS, I was just joking."

"I'm not kidding. You don't live there much anyway. Otherwise, if I let Nicole live in it, would she still rent a house now?"

As soon as Hideki Hanyu said this, Monica Bellucci shouted angrily like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Hmph! I would rather let BOSS sell the house than let that Australian Bitchi live in it."

Seeing the huge reaction of Guhua, Hanyu Hideki was a little confused.

What happened between these two women? Why do they feel so angry?

Previously in New York, the other party and Li Zhi had a tit-for-tat confrontation, "beating" her from the head of the bed to the end of the bed, but it was not exaggerated to this extent.

However, as a scumbag, it is his code of conduct not to get involved in women's conflicts.

So when facing an angry Monica Bellucci, he just said, "Okay, you can keep the house. I don't have the habit of getting back things I gave away."

And just when the Italian ball flower was furious because of the big white Australian girl.

In Moon Lake Manor in San Jose, Hitomi Kuroki was helping Hideki Hanyu sort out his things in the study. When he walked to the living room, he found his friend Mao Daichi sitting in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling glass in the living room, looking blankly into the distance.

Even when Kuroki Hitomi walked up to him, he didn't attract his friend's attention.

She looked out of the glass curiously, seeing normal scenery and nothing.

But when she followed her friend's gaze and looked into the distance, it seemed to be the direction Hanyu Hideki left in the morning.

An idea suddenly appeared in Kuromu Tong's mind.

Then she asked Daichi Mao out of nowhere.

"Are you thinking about Hanyu-kun?"

"Um……"

Mao Daichi answered instinctively, and then she instantly realized who was asking her.

He immediately turned his head and explained to Kuromu Tong in a panic, "No... I didn't mean that... I just..."

After talking for a long time, Daichi Mao didn't say anything.

Because she was indeed thinking about Hanyu Hideki, but the reasons were somewhat different from what Kuroki Hitomi thought, but she couldn't tell those reasons.

……

Century City, Los Angeles.

Hideki Hanyu arrived at the office building of Yunshang Pictures.

When he led the team into the company, Fred Weber's secretary immediately reported to him.

"Boss, Manager Weber is meeting with a guest."

Hideki Hanyu asked, "Who?"

Fred Weber's secretary replied, "Mr. Minahan Golan, owner of Cannon Pictures."

When Hideki Hanyu heard this name, he thought to himself that if he really wanted to doze off, he would use the pillow.
