Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 674: It's not that I can't, it's that I don't want to
"Manager Ye, I have read your revised plan and there are basically no problems. I will ask the UK headquarters to review it as soon as possible, arrange funds according to the plan, and confirm that you will be the person in charge of the plan."

In the historic Gritti Palace Hotel in Venice, Hanyu Hideki met with Ye Fangyi, the head of Vigorous convenience store in Hong Kong, who came from Hong Kong.

The other party came this time to submit the revised Vigorous Asia expansion plan to Hideki Hanyu.

Obviously, the senior partner promised by Hideki Hanyu last time greatly stimulated Ye Fangyi's enthusiasm, so that after completing the plan, she did not hesitate to rush all the way from Hong Kong to Italy in order to get Hideki Hanyu's approval as soon as possible.

"Sir, I won't let you down."

After hearing what Hanyu Hideki said, Ye Fangyi couldn't hide her excitement and made the promise.

Hanyu Hideki smiled and said, "Not only for me, but also for you. I've given you the opportunity, and it's up to you whether you can seize it."

After saying that, Hanyu Hideki didn't plan to keep Ye Fangyi any longer.

"Okay, it's getting late. Manager Ye should go to bed early."

His plane landed in Italy today, and in order to catch the closing ceremony of the Venice Film Festival tomorrow, he rushed to Venice without stopping.

As a result, he had just arrived in Venice and had not yet rested after a long journey when he met Ye Fangyi who was already waiting for him in Venice. Then they started looking at plans and discussing issues.

Although he could hold on physically, he needed a good rest mentally.

Seeing Hanyu Hideki say this, Ye Fangyi was not a person who didn't know how to react. She immediately picked up the plan and stood up and said, "Sir, I'll take my leave first."

"Goodbye."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he turned around and said to the person beside him, "Monica, please help me send Manager Ye off."

The Monica he was referring to was naturally the soccer star Monica Bellucci.

This trip to Venice is like visiting the territory of the biggest star. If I have to bring a secretary with me, it must be the biggest star.

After Monica Bellucci sent Ye Fangyi out, she came back and immediately asked, "The gentleman who wanted to see you before was also from Hong Kong. Boss, are you sure you don't want to meet him?"

Hanyu Hideki said impatiently, "No, I'm not a hotel waiter. Anyone who wants to see me can see me."

The other person from Hong Kong mentioned by Monica Bellucci was Deng Rongguang, who had previously planned to violate Lan Jieying.

This guy was scared by the incident at the Asian Cinema Chain, and guessed that the recent "accident" was related to Hideki Hanyu. Therefore, after learning that Hideki Hanyu would come to Venice, he rushed to Italy two days in advance and waited for Hideki Hanyu to arrive.

In fact, Deng Rongguang didn't know that Hideki Hanyu arrived in Venice today, but after this guy found out about the exhibition team of Yunshang Film, he has been in contact with Yunshang Film, hoping to meet Hideki Hanyu through the exhibition team.

The person in charge of Yunying Pictures' participation in the Venice Film Festival is a deputy director of the Yunying Pictures distribution department.

This level is certainly considered high-level in cloud projection.

But the problem is that such high-level officials are nothing in front of the president, Hanyu Hideki. It is difficult for the other party to meet Hanyu Hideki, so how can he introduce him to Deng Rongguang?

However, Deng Rongguang came all the way here, so he would naturally be unwilling not to meet Hanyu Hideki.

So he kept pestering me for the past two days, which really annoyed the entire Yunshang Filming team.

At this time, the film director Kurokawa Oki, who was also attending the exhibition, couldn't stand it anymore and called Ito Shinsuke who was far away in Tokyo. It was through Ito Shinsuke that he told Hanyu Hideki about this.

Just like that, after going around in circles, Hanyu Hideki finally found out that Deng Rongguang had also come to Venice.

It was not difficult for Hanyu Hideki to guess what Deng Rongguang was worried about.

But for him, Deng Rongguang had long been forgotten.

A waste who relies on the influence of his ancestors to bully others in the circle, only dares to bully ordinary people without any background, and trembles in fear when encountering a strong person.

He never took the other party seriously from the beginning to the end, and as for revenge, he didn't even bother to consider it.

After all, if he really wanted to take action against Deng Rongguang, his name would definitely be on the previous "accident" list, and it would even be impossible for him to leave Hong Kong.

He was too lazy to target or pay attention to such people, let alone waste time meeting them.

"Since the boss doesn't see that person, it's getting late and we should rest."

Seeing that Hideki Hanyu was no longer dealing with official business, Monica Bellucci immediately came up to him.

Her stomach had not responded, and she was extremely anxious when she saw another woman who was about to give birth moving into Moon Lake Manor.

"From America to Italy, you kept talking non-stop on the plane. You should at least give me some time to relax."

Facing the ball flower that was wrapping around him like a beautiful snake, the scumbag said helplessly.

This doesn't mean that his extraordinary talents have failed, but that he can't hold on any longer.

I can only say that no matter how delicious something is, you will get tired of it if you eat too much.

No matter how beautiful a woman is, she will become annoying if she plays too much.

Monica Bellucci is certainly a beauty among beauties, but for Hideki Hanyu, seeing her too much in a short period of time will cause aesthetic fatigue.

All I can say is that the old saying is true, behind every goddess you desire, there is a man who is so bored with her.

However, Hanyu Hideki's refusal was of no use to the tennis player who was eager to have a child.

The other party didn't care whether Hideki Hanyu agreed or not and just acted on his own.

After a moment, the ball player who was kneeling in front of Hanyu Hideki raised her head and said to the scumbag with charming eyes.

"Boss's body is more honest than his mouth~~"

"Hey……"

The scumbag sighed helplessly.

Things have come to this, what else can he do? Just enjoy himself.
-
September 6th.

The closing ceremony of the 45th Venice Film Festival kicked off.

As one of the three major film festivals in Europe, the Venice Film Festival has not seen as much decline in influence as it did in later generations, so it can still attract a large number of producers to participate in the exhibition and transactions every year.

As a grand event in the entertainment industry, Venice is particularly lively today.

The movie posters that can be seen everywhere and the stars whose names are called out from time to time on the street make the locals and tourists very excited.

6pm, Venice Lido.

The closing ceremony and awards ceremony red carpet of the Venice Film Festival were officially held in front of the Venice Film Palace on the island.

As a guest, Hideki Hanyu was naturally invited to the red carpet event.

However, his status at the Venice Film Festival this time was rather special. He did not come with the Cloud Filming team, but walked on the red carpet as an award presenter.

And although he was invited by the film festival organizing committee, it was actually UNICEF that invited him.

After all, if Hideki Hanyu, who is not a celebrity in the entertainment industry, was just invited by the Venice Film Festival, he could come and watch the fun, but if he was asked to show up on the red carpet and serve as an award presenter, he would probably not agree.

However, as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, when he learned that the foundation wanted him to serve as the presenter of the UNICEF Award at the Venice Film Festival, he naturally had to consider it carefully.

In the end, I agreed not only to give face to the foundation, but also to consider that it could help improve my reputation.

Just like that, not long after the red carpet session of the Venice Film Festival began, Hideki Hanyu appeared, wearing a black suit, carefully dressed, and with a look that was no less than any star.

As a cultural celebrity and super-rich man, his appearance on the red carpet of the film festival has far greater media appeal than any other star.

After all, it is not uncommon to see celebrities at film festivals, but seeing a big name like Hideki Hanyu is something that can be described as unprecedented.

Therefore, as soon as Hideki Hanyu stepped onto the red carpet, all the media cameras were focused on him.

At the same time, those stars who walked the red carpet before Hideki Hanyu instantly felt a sharp drop in attention.

Among them was the popular French actress Sophie Marceau, who attended the film festival as a guest.

Before Hideki Hanyu appeared, Sophie Marceau was the most watched female star on the red carpet. After all, under the hype of the French media, she has become the new generation of French Rose after Isabelle Adjani and Isabelle Huppert.

But just when she was halfway through the red carpet, when she should have been the center of attention, she suddenly felt that the media had abandoned her. How could she not be confused?

Instinctively, she turned around to see what was happening.

She was even considering whether she should learn from her predecessors and accidentally let her shoulder straps slip if she couldn't regain the attention.

But at this moment, Sophie Marceau felt that the media attention seemed to have returned again.

But soon, Sophie Marceau realized that this was her illusion.

It wasn't that the media's attention had returned, but that the people being paid attention to by the media were approaching her rapidly at a walking speed that was not in line with common sense on the red carpet.

Sophie Marceau began to feel doubtful.

Could it be some other star?

Or a star from Hollywood?
But if we move so fast, how can we get coverage in the media?

At this speed, aren’t you afraid that the media will be dissatisfied?

This doesn't look like a star walking on the red carpet at all, because in the world of Vanity Fair, stars only worry about having too little exposure time, and they would rather spend half an hour walking on a red carpet that can be walked in one minute.

Just as Sophie Marceau was guessing all kinds of things in her mind, she finally saw the person who stole all her attention on the red carpet.

He has a tall and straight figure, and a handsome face like an elf under gold-rimmed glasses. Why does this man look so familiar?

There was another name that came to her mind, Emmanuelle Béart.

This was the man who sat next to Emmanuelle Béart at a Gaumont dinner in Paris last year.

Afterwards, her agent helped her find information about Hideki Hanyu.

In an instant, Sophie Marceau understood why Hideki Hanyu attracted all the attention and why he walked so fast on the red carpet.

Compared with Hideki Hanyu's wealth and strength, celebrities in the entertainment industry are nothing. No wonder the media are paying attention to him.

However, the attention that is so crucial for celebrities is so insignificant for Hideki Hanyu.

It's no wonder why the other party doesn't care so much about walking the red carpet.

The moment their figures crossed each other, Hideki Hanyu naturally noticed Sophie Marceau.

In later generations in China, thanks to the spread of information on the Internet, this French Rose has become extremely well-known, and Hideki Hanyu is naturally no stranger to her.

Although they do not know each other now, influenced by the memories of their past lives, Hanyu Hideki still nodded politely when the two looked at each other.

After overtaking Sophie Marceau, he didn't care about her reaction and just strode towards the end of the red carpet.

Even though he agreed to be the award presenter and appear on the red carpet because of UNICEF, it doesn't mean that he has to dawdle on the red carpet for a long time like those stars.

He quickly walked to the end of the red carpet, accepted interviews from official media, mentioned UNICEF, said some polite words about charity, and then stepped into the Venice Film Palace.

Then he was led by the staff to his seat in the first row. Then, of course, the necessary social activities were necessary for such occasions.

There were Italian official figures, as well as people from the Venice Film Festival organizers. Several people of status came to talk to Hanyu Hideki one after another.

After casually dealing with these people, Hanyu Hideki waited for the people from Yunyinghua to come and say hello.

The work exhibited in this online screening was directed by Oki Kurokawa. Hideki Hanyu didn't pay much attention to it, but I heard that the reviews were average and it did not make it into the main competition unit.

Hideki Hanyu doesn't care about this at all.

After all, in his opinion, except for a few film masters in Japan, the films made by many film directors are more or less different from the thinking circuits of normal people, and they look like they have a serious illness.

Hideki Hanyu founded Yunshang Cinema to produce and distribute movies with a very simple purpose, which was to serve the market and to make money.

As for revitalizing Japanese cinema? Whoever wants to do it can do it!

He is a time traveler from China. It's good enough that he doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble for a little money. How can you expect him to contribute to Japanese movies?

The Yunshang Film Production team includes not only the film director Oki Kurokawa, but also the leading male and female actors of the film.

The male actor is Toshiaki Karasawa, who is currently shining in special effects dramas.

As for the actress, it was Yuki Saito, who had a relationship with him during the WCG period.

After that, he continued to contact the two girls, Asaka Yui and Moritaka Chisato, and maintained a certain relationship.

But for Saito Yuki, even though the scumbag took her first time and gave her some benefits afterwards, he just took the attitude of playing with her and forgetting about it, and did not have any contact with her.

Even though the girl looked at him with eyes full of desire at this moment, the scumbag completely turned a blind eye and did not show any intention of responding.

As for why this is the case, it is because the queen is too famous.

Hanyu Hideki felt that it would be enough to just play a friendly match and not recognize each other, and there was no need to get into a deep relationship, in case the other party's illicit talent awakened one day, and he would have to find someone to sink the other party into the Pacific Ocean.

Just like that, in the disappointed eyes of Saito Yuki, Hanyu Hideki sent away the exhibition team of Yunshang Yinghua.

"what--"

Before the award ceremony started, Hideki Hanyu stood up and stretched.

Just as he sat down, a voice in English came from the chair behind him, "Sir, you look really busy."

"Ok?"

Hideki Hanyu turned his head curiously and found that the person who spoke was not someone else, but Sophie Marceau, who passed by him on the red carpet.

He didn't notice that the other person's seat was actually behind him.

And what's strange is why this woman would take the initiative to talk to him.

They didn't know each other before, and since she was in love with an older man named Andrzej Zulawski, there seemed to be no reason for her to get in touch with him.

"Ms. Sophie, are you talking to me?" Hanyu Hideki asked, pointing at himself.

"Of course, is there anyone else here?" Sophie Marceau replied with a smile.

Indeed, the red carpet event has not yet ended, and the people in the backstage have not yet arrived. Even those who have entered are socializing before the award ceremony begins.

Therefore, all the seats around them were empty.

"Okay, but we don't seem to be familiar with each other, so what do you want to talk to me about, Miss Sophie?"

Hanyu Hideki's tone was neither salty nor bland, giving off a feeling of keeping people at a distance.

After all, for him now, he has seen too many beautiful women and played with too many women, so even Sophie Marceau is nothing special.

When Sophie Marceau heard what Hideki Hanyu said, her first reaction was that she was quite uncomfortable. After all, as a popular French beauty, she was used to the feeling of being sought after.

Even if someone doesn't like her, they will never communicate with her in this manner when she takes the initiative to show her kindness.

It felt as if she was some kind of troublesome thing and he couldn't wait to get away from her.

Thinking about this, Sophie Marceau said unconvincedly, "Your performance on the red carpet just now made me feel that you wanted to make friends with me."

"Making friends? That's just courtesy towards strangers. If Miss Sophie has misunderstood anything because of this, I apologize here."

Then, Hanyu Hideki said in a calm tone, "Besides, I am very cautious in making friends. Not just anyone can be my friend."

As soon as Hideki Hanyu said this, Sophie Marceau felt extremely upset.

Because Hideki Hanyu was just short of saying it directly: If you want to be friends with me, you are not qualified.

This is simply unacceptable for Sophie Marceau, who became famous at a young age, had a smooth career in the entertainment industry and was sought after everywhere.

But just when she was about to question Hanyu Hideki, a UNICEF staff member happened to appear and discussed with Hanyu Hideki a brief interview after the award ceremony.

Hideki Hanyu turned around and communicated with the newcomer, no longer paying attention to Sophie Marceau who had a strange expression on her face.

By the time the UNICEF staff left, the award ceremony had begun. Even if Sophie Marceau wanted to talk to Hideki Hanyu, she had no chance.

The UNICEF Award is an unofficial award specially arranged for this year's Venice Film Festival. Relying on the name of charity and the name of UNICEF, it was specially arranged at the awards ceremony.

When the Best Screenplay award in the main competition unit was presented, Hideki Hanyu was already waiting backstage.

After the Best Screenplay award ceremony was over, he came on stage under the introduction of the host.

The titles introduced are naturally famous writers, goodwill ambassadors, etc.

There is actually not much to say about the award ceremony. The winning film was directly announced as "Battle of the Dinobots", a film that Hideki Hanyu had never heard of in his previous life.

But none of this matters. As long as he shows up to present the award, he has accomplished his mission and successfully used the Venice Film Festival to gain some charitable reputation.

After the award ceremony, Hideki Hanyu did not return to his seat. Instead, under the arrangement of UNICEF staff, he accepted a brief interview with a European media on the theme of charity.

After finishing all these, Hideki Hanyu had completed all the things he had to do during his trip to Venice.

When he finished the interview, the award ceremony had not yet completely ended.

It was also a good opportunity for him to sneak away early while the media was paying attention to the award ceremony.

What he didn't expect was that just when he arrived at the waterway and was about to take a boat back to the hotel, a figure suddenly rushed over.

He was still shouting, "Mr. Hanyu, I finally found you."

Before Hanyu Hideki could see who the person was, the two bodyguards beside him knocked the person to the ground.

Marco immediately stood in front of him and reached into his arms.

And the next moment, the person who was thrown to the ground shouted loudly.

"Sir, it's me! I'm Deng Rongguang."

Hearing Deng Rongguang's voice, Hanyu Hideki waved his hand at the bodyguard and said, "Let him go."

Looking at Deng Rongguang who got up from the ground, Hanyu Hideki chuckled and said, "Why? Boss Deng came all the way to Venice to find me. Are you planning to argue with me about what happened before?"

When Deng Rongguang heard this, he smiled bitterly with a rather generous face.

"Mr. Hanyu, how dare I? I'm here to apologize to you. I offended you before. Sir, you are a magnanimous person. I hope you won't hold it against me."

Hanyu Hideki's smile turned cold and he said, "Boss Deng, you're going to throw dirty water on me now that your argument is unsuccessful? It seems that Boss Deng thinks that my saving people before was directed against you, and he is going to hold it against you."

Hearing this, Deng Rongguang immediately panicked and denied it, "Mr. Hanyu, you know that's not what I meant, I..."

Seeing that Deng Rongguang was still talking, Hanyu Hideki was already getting a little impatient.

"Boss Deng, it's your business what you like to do. I won't see it and won't care. While I'm still not interested in you, you'd better stop bothering me, otherwise..."

At the end, Hanyu Hideki's tone turned cold.

"Otherwise, if I want to deal with you, do you think you can appear in front of me intact?"

"I know, I know. Thank you, Mr. Hanyu. Thank you, Mr. Hanyu. If you need any help in Hong Kong in the future, please let me know!"

Deng Rongguang answered repeatedly.

Although Hanyu Hideki's words were unpleasant to hear, Deng Rongguang could tell one thing, that is, Hanyu Hideki had no interest in dealing with him.

This alone was enough for him to be thankful.

"No need for your help. Mr. Deng should just focus on making movies and not get involved in the affairs of Asian cinemas."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he directly ordered the boatman to start the boat, ignoring Deng Rongguang who was sweating profusely because of his last sentence.

Because his last words were to Deng Rongguang.

I know everything about how you bribed the top executives of Asia Cinemas.

The reason we don’t want you to have any accidents is not because we can’t, but because we don’t want to.

……

"Boss, why can you go to Paris but I have to stay in Italy?"

On September 8th, Hideki Hanyu plans to travel from Italy to France.

At the airport entrance, Monica Bellucci held the scumbag's arm tightly and said unwilling words.

"The connection between Lamborghini and Yunshang Pictures requires an intermediary person in charge. I need you to stay in Italy and help Wendelin Wiedeking."

Hideki Hanyu ignored the tennis player's acting and made arrangements directly.

Seeing that Monica Bellucci was about to say something, Hanyu Hideki reminded her seriously, "Remember, helping me is also helping you."

After hearing what Hanyu Hideki said, Monica Bellucci didn't know what she was thinking. Although she wanted to go to Paris with Hanyu Hideki, she finally nodded and agreed.

"Then I'll stay."

"That's it, I'm leaving."

After saying this, Hideki Hanyu turned around and walked into the airport.

Paris, the European headquarters of Crescent Cinemas.

Hideki Hanyu's visit was also for the adjustment of the management of Crescent Cinemas' European headquarters.

Having caused such a big fuss in Hong Kong before, he just hopes that things will go smoothly for Crescent Cinemas in France this time.
