Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 840 Film and Television Technology Exchange Meeting
"No wonder I heard the magpie's call when I went out today. It turns out I'm going to meet a noble person!"

Feng Xiaogang came close to Hanyu Hideki and started speaking sweet words.

Before Hanyu Hideki could say anything, the receptionist next to him said, "Mr. Hanyu, please chat with your friends. I will take my leave now."

"Okay, please take care of what I said before."

Hanyu Hideki said goodbye to the receptionist first, and then said to Feng Xiaogang, "Mr. Feng, it's been more than a year since we last met in Japan."

"It's been over a year since we last met. Mr. Hanyu is still as charming as ever. I'm sorry that you laughed at my appearance."

Feng Xiaogang was wearing a military green work suit at the time, and his cotton coat looked a bit bulky, and he did not look as "Western" as when he was doing technical exchanges in Neon.

After the words fell, the other party glanced at the courtyard behind Hanyu Hideki and asked, "Sir, are you here to visit a friend today?"

"I don't have any friends here. I'm just interested in the old houses here, so I came here to take a look."

After that, Hanyu Hideki also asked Feng Xiaogang, "Why is Mr. Feng here?"

Feng Xiaogang quickly replied, "There is a flea market nearby. The center has just started filming a TV series. I came here to look for some usable props."

When Hideki Hanyu heard this, he knew that Feng Xiaogang had returned to work at the Yanjing Television Art Center after finishing his exchanges on Cloud Satellite TV.

On the surface, going to Neon for technical exchanges did not change the other party's career development.

But if you think about it realistically, the current domestic film and television industry environment is not as good as it was in the future.

The separation of production and broadcasting in the television industry has not been fully implemented, and major satellite TV stations have not yet been launched.

There is no sign of any market-oriented reforms in the film industry.

In this case, practitioners have few options.

Nowadays, Zhou Wenqiong is filming TV series and movies in the south, and he still uses his connections to get affiliated with Zhuying Studio.

As for Hideki Hanyu's own company, there is no need to even think about the domestic market.

Even in the era when he traveled through, there were very strict restrictions on foreign investment in the film and television industry.

Otherwise, why would he have allowed Yunshang to cooperate with domestic companies at all costs over the years? He simply wanted to lay a foundation in China before the relevant restrictions were implemented.

Calculating the time, what Yanjing Television Art Center is currently filming should be "Desire" which made the Television Art Center famous.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki raised his hand to check the time on his watch, then invited Feng Xiaogang.

"Meeting is fate. Since our time is about the same, how about I treat Mr. Feng to lunch? How about we find a place to eat and chat?"

Hearing Hanyu Hideki inviting him, Feng Xiaogang immediately responded with a look of surprise, "You are treating me to a meal, which is a great honor for me. Of course I will do it."

……

Next, Hideki Hanyu and Feng Xiaogang came to Taifeng Building, one of the eight buildings.

After ordering a few signature dishes, Hanyu Hideki and Feng Xiaogang started chatting casually.

He decided to treat the other party to a meal. Although it was a sudden impulse, he also wanted to learn about the current situation of the domestic film and television industry through the other party.

And the development of those who have communicated with Cloud Satellite TV.

After talking about these things, Hanyu Hideki realized that he had asked the right person.

After the exchange, everyone returned to China and continued to work in their original units.

But because of the friendship of those two years, we still have a lot of contact with each other.

In particular, Feng Xiaogang is good at managing personal connections, and he still keeps in touch with many people. He can talk endlessly about these people's recent situations.

It’s just as Hideki Hanyu expected. Due to the domestic film and television environment, these people’s careers have not changed much in the past year or so.

But at the end, Feng Xiaogang slapped his head, as if he remembered something. "Actually, quite a few people are in Yanjing recently. How about I organize a gathering for everyone, and then you can do me the honor of meeting everyone?"

Hanyu Hideki said, "I have finished my business in Yanjing this time, and I should leave in the next two days."

"It's still in time. If you want, I can gather everyone tonight."

After Feng Xiaogang finished speaking, he immediately looked at Hanyu Hideki with anticipation.

After all, if he could organize this, it would not only bring him closer to Hanyu Hideki, but also deepen his impression in Hanyu Hideki's heart.

He can also improve his own status in the exchange group circle.

After all, other people in the country may not be aware of Hanyu Hideki's strength, but how could the people in the exchange group not know it?

The title of world entertainment and media tycoon is not just boasted.

Since he is related to Hideki Hanyu, everyone will look up to him.

After hearing this, Hanyu Hideki thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

As Hanyu Hideki said this, he called his assistant over, took out a stack of banknotes from the assistant's bag, and placed it in front of Feng Xiaogang.

"I'll leave it to you. These are the expenses for the party. If it's not enough, I'll make it up to you later."

Feng Xiaogang looked at the thick stack of money in front of him and felt that there was at least 10,000 yuan as a base. He waved his hands and said, "That's enough, more than enough, more than enough. You should take back some more."

"Since we are old friends meeting, choose a better place and don't be polite to me."

Hanyu Hideki waved his hand nonchalantly.

For him, who knows the status of the exchange group members in the future mainland entertainment circle, it is a great deal if he can build up relationships in advance by spending this little money.

Besides, the reason why he agreed to Feng Xiaogang was not just to curry favor with him.

After learning about the current situation of the exchange group members, he felt that it would be a pity if the "friendship" of the two years of exchange was simply consumed by time.

Maybe he can do something to strengthen the connection between everyone.

Seeing Hanyu Hideki say this, Feng Xiaogang no longer refused. He patted his chest and promised that he would do the job beautifully and would never lose face for Hanyu Hideki.

After this was said, it was time for lunch to end.

After bidding farewell to Feng Xiaogang, Hideki Hanyu returned to Yanjing Hotel.

Although I have planned to leave, there are still many things to finish before leaving.

The cooperation with Lamborghini Automobile Group has been settled after the team arrived in Northeast China.

Of course, Wendelin Wiedeking will have to go to the mainland in person to hold a formal signing ceremony.

But these are for outsiders to see.

As for what really matters.

For example, in the FAW Lamborghini Automobile Company which is about to be officially established, both parties will hold 50% of the shares.

For example, the next step is to cooperate in technology sharing, production model, marketing promotion, etc.

In fact, we have almost finished talking about it now.

At this stage, Hideki Hanyu does not expect Lamborghini and Maserati to sell well in the country.

In his opinion, whether MINI and Land Rover, which carry the Lamborghini title, can be brought to the market remains to be considered.

In his plan, the most practical thing to do in the current domestic market is to launch mid- and low-end models of MG and Triumph.

Do a good job of designing, and then market it to the domestic market, taking advantage of the current relative blankness of the market, the effect will definitely not be too bad.

As for Triumph's motorcycles, considering the gradual spread of the ban on motorcycles in the country, Hideki Hanyu feels there is no need to take it too seriously.

As for the matters concerning the 'Yunhuali' commercial street, Hideki Hanyu has already explained everything he could, and the next step is just a matter of slow and steady work.

Of course, after all these big things, Hanyu Hideki still has small things to finish.

For example, the five courtyard houses I bought, although the price was not expensive, the deposit had been made but the money had not been paid, and the formalities had not been signed, so naturally I had to arrange for someone to handle it.

He also planned to meet with some domestic business leaders before leaving.

When Hanyu Hideki was planning his departure matters in the hotel, his assistant came to inform him that Feng Xiao had just called and told him where to meet in the evening.

A famous restaurant in Yanjing that Hanyu Hideki had seen in movies and heard about in the news, but had never been to.

Moscow restaurant.

Also known as "Lao Mo".

Of course Hanyu Hideki knew this restaurant, but no matter how many times he came to Yanjing in this life, he had no interest in going there.

After finally returning to China, he still couldn't get enough of Chinese food, so how could he possibly eat Western food? After all, he wouldn't lack that when he was overseas. However, Feng Xiaogang arranged the gathering here, and Hanyu Hideki could understand it. After all, for Chinese people of this era, Western food might be more fashionable and upscale.

……

It was just after six in the afternoon.

A black car slowly stopped in front of the Moscow Restaurant. Hideki Hanyu got out of it and walked into the restaurant with his long legs.

In preparation for the evening party, he simply dressed up before going out.

The tailor-made suit is slim and crisp, perfectly showing off his figure. The classic navy blue color not only shows calmness and elegance, but the slightly lighter color also adds a touch of lightness.

The Royal Oak watch flashed on his wrist. Although its price of $90,000 was a bit ordinary for him, its sporty, tough and slightly luxurious style was very suitable for his look today.

As for his face, he still has his iconic gold-rimmed glasses.

Ever since AIYI International acquired the French brand “FRED”, all of his glasses have been customized by this brand.

Although the customized model is not for sale to the public and the specific price cannot be given, if it is really sold, it would be easy to replace it with a Mercedes-Benz.

Of course, external styling is important.

But what is more important is actually Hideki Hanyu himself.

A tall and slender figure, a handsome face, and a gentle temperament.

Hideki Hanyu immediately attracted the attention of people around him as soon as he got off the car.

After all, he seemed to be on a different level from the world around him, so it was hard for him not to attract attention.

This also meant that as soon as he arrived at the door, he was spotted by Feng Xiaogang who was waiting, and he immediately came up to him with a flattering look on his face.

"I didn't expect you to come so early. I almost missed the chance to greet you."

Hanyu Hideki said, "Is everyone here?"

"Almost everyone is here, waiting for you inside. Please come this way."

Feng Xiaogang's demeanor and tone when he spoke were more like a waiter than a waiter. He stretched out his hand and led Hanyu Hideki inside.

The two walked forward and finally came to the VIP room at the back where a long table was placed.

As soon as he entered the door, Hideki Hanyu saw many familiar faces.

Although there are only about twenty people, accounting for only a small part of the two-year technical exchange group, they are basically the backbone of the future mainland film and television industry.

In particular, the first person to greet him was Mr. Han Sanye, who used to be the team leader in Neon.

Hideki Hanyu didn't know much about this person's resume, but he knew that he had only joined the Yanjing Film Studio in the mid-1990s.

How come you came to Yanjing in just the 1990s?

The questions in Hanyu Hideki's mind were soon answered by the other party.

"Since I came back from the exchange program, I got the opportunity to study at the Yanjing Film Academy, and now I am studying directing."

"I see. Congratulations to Team Leader Han."

Hanyu Hideki and team leader Han took their seats amid polite exchanges, and then began to chat with others in a familiar manner.

At first, everyone was quite cautious towards Hanyu Hideki, but after chatting, they found that Hanyu Hideki did not have the airs of a big shot, and the atmosphere in the VIP lounge suddenly became lively.

Seeing that the cooking was almost done, Hanyu Hideki pretended to sigh.

“It was a rare fate for us to work together at my TV station. We cannot let this friendship fade away just because we are separated by vast distances after returning to China.

After meeting Xiaogang at noon, I also briefly understood everyone's situation. I knew that due to various objective reasons, everyone had no place to display their talents and ambitions.

We are all practitioners in the film and television industry, and I happen to have some power in this industry.

So after I agreed to Xiaogang's request to get together with everyone, I started thinking about how I could help everyone.

After much thought, I thought that I could set up an informal mutual aid group to connect all the friends in the exchange group, so that it would be easier for me to help everyone.

For example, if anyone has a project idea but lacks funding, or wants to distribute it overseas, participate in exhibitions and receive awards, I can help everyone more or less. "

When Hanyu Hideki said this, everyone's eyes lit up.

In today's Chinese film and television circles, what everyone lacks is not talent or creativity, but opportunities, funding, and channels at home and abroad.

After Hanyu Hideki said this, no matter how many of his promises can be fulfilled in the end, at least he has no chance at all.

Therefore, when Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, everyone immediately echoed and cheered.

Some people have even started discussing how to organize this informal mutual aid society and what it should be called.

As for the latter, everyone was talking at the same time, and no one could convince anyone else for the time being.

But as for the former, everyone was unanimous in expressing that one must be a member of the previous exchange group in order to join.

After all, although Hideki Hanyu has made the promise, with too many people and too little meat, no one knows how much he can give, so naturally he doesn't want more people to share the pie.

They had a "friendship" with each other due to their two-year overseas exchange group, and this invisible bond had loosely connected them together.

At the end of the discussion, Team Leader Han suddenly raised an opinion on the name.

"Since this is an informal mutual aid association, the name can't be too formal. We all got together because of the original technical exchange group, so how about calling it the China Film and Television Technical Exchange Association?"

"China Film and Television Technology Exchange Conference."

Hanyu Hideki considered the name and nodded in approval, "This is a good name. It is related to the original exchange group and it won't sound too formal when told to others."

Although many people felt that the name that Team Leader Han thought of was not loud enough, since Hideki Hanyu, the "sponsor", agreed, they could only agree.

Just like that, the 'China Film and Television Technology Exchange Conference', which sounded like a technical seminar organization, was established seemingly casually at such a dinner party.

No one knows yet what impact this exchange meeting with an ordinary name will have on the domestic film and television industry at this time and space.

Even at this time, the exchange meeting set up at the dinner table did not even have a person in charge who could speak. It was only temporarily decided that Feng Xiaogang would act as a liaison to first bring in all the members who had participated in the technical exchange group.

As for Hideki Hanyu, due to his special status, he just needs to act as a financial sponsor silently, and it is naturally impossible for him to join in.

Even though he is the financial sponsor, he does not intend to come forward directly, but continues to put the Hong Kong Film Investment Company under Pan Disheng's name in the front.

Just as everyone was chatting enthusiastically, a waiter suddenly entered the VIP room, whispered something to Feng Xiaogang, and Feng Xiaogang followed him out.

After a while, when Feng Xiaogang came back, he whispered to Hanyu Hideki, "Sir, Dong Zhenye from the technical exchange group originally said he couldn't come because of something, but now he suddenly came and wanted to come in and say hello to you."

Hanyu Hideki said in surprise, "What's there to say? Just let him come in directly."

Feng Xiaogang explained, "He had more than one, he brought others with him."

Hideki Hanyu asked, "Who?"

Feng Xiaogang replied, "Dong Zhenye is the cinematographer of The King of Children, and he is preparing to work with Director Chen on a new film."

When Hideki Hanyu heard that he was a little master of poetry recitation, he thought to himself what a small world this is.

Xu Feng, who had just promised Tomson Films that he would let the Yunshang system take over the overseas promotion of "Farewell My Concubine", met this person right after he arrived in Yanjing.

At this time, Feng Xiaogang lowered his voice again and said, "I heard from Dong Zhenye that the film that Director Chen is preparing may still have a little funding gap. I guess he brought Director Chen to see you to ask for help in this regard."

Yo~
Hideki Hanyu did not expect that Director Chen would come to him for investment.

Judging from the time, the film that Director Chen is preparing should be "Singing as I Walk" which was nominated for the Cannes Palme d'Or.

In the previous life, the investors of this movie included foreign capital, not only from America, but also from Germany.

Although Hanyu Hideki did not have a good impression of the young poetry master, even if he did not invest, it would be good to meet the celebrity from his previous life at this time. Besides, there were members of the technical exchange group present.

So Hanyu Hideki said, "It's okay, let them in."

After getting permission, Feng Xiaogang immediately left the VIP lounge and returned with his people not long after.

Then Hideki Hanyu discovered that the people brought in by Feng Xiaogang included not only Dong Zhenye, a member of the exchange group, and Director Chen, whom he recognized at first sight, but also two young people who looked even more familiar.

Huang Lei, the chef Huang, is a young boy.

One is a young girl named Xu Qing, who has a big black braid, a youthful smile, and two distinct dimples.

If Hideki Hanyu remembers correctly, these two are the male and female protagonists of "Walking and Singing".

It was already one o'clock when I got back from a reunion with my classmates. I really didn't want to take leave and incur debts. I ended up writing 5,000 words and it was already four o'clock in the morning. I was so tired.
