Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 841 More fun and interesting

As soon as Director Chen and his three companions, brought in by Feng Xiaogang, appeared, they immediately caused a commotion in the VIP lounge.

Many people stood up to greet them, but the one who received the most attention was not Dong Zhenye, a member of the original exchange group.

It can even be said that this photographer who now works at the Xi'an Film Studio is not even as respected as the two young men Huang Lei and Xu Qing.

If you ask why, it is of course because of the background.

Director Chen, needless to say, his father is a leading figure in the literary and art circles. While he himself is the second generation in the circle, he has now also made a great name for himself.

Huang Xiaochu's father is also a veteran in the drama circle. He works in the Experimental Theater and has extensive connections. He took Huang Lei to participate in stage performances when he was six years old.

As for Xu Qing, he was a legitimate child from a wealthy family with a background so profound that it is hard to describe in detail. When he was a child, he was picked up by a car whenever he went out, could wear imported princess dresses, and acted in his first movie at the age of eleven.

The starting point of these people is basically the end point for most people in the circle.

Anyone who has made a name for themselves in the circle basically knows something about it.

So when Director Chen was talking to Hideki Hanyu, he pointed at the two young men next to him.

"I just cast the actors for my new movie. After the audition, I brought them here for a quick meal. I learned from Teacher Dong that Mr. Li was also here, so I brought them here to visit him."

Hideki Hanyu believed these words 100%.

Given these people's backgrounds, it is impossible that they brought actors here specifically to "please" him or try to get close to him just to attract investment.

Even if Director Chen wanted to, Xu Qing alone would not agree.

After all, he is not from a grassroots background. He does not need to beg others for a role, let alone pay any "price".

You should know that Xu Qing participated in "Journey to the West" at the age of thirteen. He did not sign up on his own, but was personally invited by Director Yang.

They are basically from the same circle.

If Teacher Liu had this background, there would be all these bad things happening later.

This is a bit off topic, let’s turn our attention back to Lao Mo’s VIP lounge.

After the others greeted Director Chen and the others one by one.

Director Chen and others were also invited by Hanyu Hideki to sit in the VIP lounge.

Interestingly, team leader Han, who originally sat on the left of Hanyu Hideki, was replaced by Director Chen because he had not yet become successful.

To the right of Hanyu Hideki, Xu Qing and Huang Xiaochu sat down respectively.

After sitting down, eating is of course secondary.

Director Chen started by saying, "Mr. Hanyu's name has become very well-known in recent years. When I was studying and training abroad, I often saw Mr. Hanyu's name in the media.

My writer friends and friends in the film and television circles at home and abroad often mention Mr. Hanyu.

Just recently, Ms. Xu Feng from Hong Kong Tomson Films mentioned Mr. Hanyu to me, saying that the new movie assigned to me to direct would be a collaboration with Yunshang Entertainment.

So I have always wondered when I would meet my husband, but I never thought that our meeting would come so suddenly. "

"They are just empty names. Director Chen, you don't need to care about them." Hanyu Hideki answered calmly.

Of course, the fact that someone who made Director Chen so proud said these words to him was enough to prove that his years of time traveling were not in vain.

After all, everyone in the circle knows that Director Chen comes from a prominent family and considers himself a talented person, so ordinary people are not in his eyes.

As soon as Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, Xu Qing, who was standing to his right, asked Director Chen curiously, "Director Chen, the Yunshang Entertainment you are talking about is the same Yunshang Entertainment that filmed My Sassy Girl?"

Hideki Hanyu was not at all surprised as to why Xu Qing knew about a movie that had not been released in mainland China.

After all, just because ordinary people can’t see it doesn’t mean some people can’t see it.

In this seemingly closed era, many people actually have no lack of channels to understand the outside world.

Upon hearing this, Director Chen nodded and replied, "Yes, it is Yunshang Entertainment."

Director Chen also explained, "The original novel of the movie you mentioned was written by Mr. Hanyu.

Mr. Hanyu is a very famous writer, and many of his picture books and novels have been introduced into China.

Young people may prefer the love letter, but I and many of my friends prefer the latest work, I Am a Cat, which is a very ironic novel with a unique perspective and is absolutely a masterpiece. "

When Director Chen introduced Hanyu Hideki again and mentioned "I Am a Cat", his tone was full of praise.

This did not come as a surprise to Hanyu Hideki.

Who made "I Am a Cat" completely deified with the avalanche of the Japanese stock market?

This kind of literary work that criticizes and satirizes reality, coupled with unique creativity, is especially appealing to cultural people.

After Director Chen finished speaking, Xu Qing next to him looked at Hanyu Hideki with a look of shock.

"The love letter was written by Mr. Hanyu?"

After asking a question, Xu Qing immediately asked, "So, Mr. Hanyu's name is Hanyu Hideki?"

After saying that, she seemed to feel that it was a bit rude to call Hanyu Hideki by his name, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I was just a little surprised, because I really like the novel Love Letter."

Director Chen asked in confusion, "Didn't I mention the gentleman's name when I introduced him just now?"

"I'm sorry, maybe I didn't hear you clearly."

Xu Qing's pretty face turned red, feeling a little embarrassed.

It was because she was busy looking at Hideki Hanyu's face when the two sides were briefly introducing themselves just now.

After all, Hanyu Hideki's appearance is too easy to distract women.

Of course the most important thing is that even if she heard it clearly, she would not think that Hideki Hanyu was the author of "Love Letter".

Because when she read "Love Letter", she always thought that the writer of this book should be a middle-aged man with a story.

But now that she knew that the author of her favorite novel was actually such a good-looking handsome guy, Xu Qing didn't know why, but she always had a wonderful feeling that it was a "dream come true".

It’s like the perfect male protagonist in the novel in my mind suddenly walked from fantasy into reality.

A lady from a wealthy family may not be impressed by wealth, but she will be tempted by things she does not have but desires.

Looking at her love history, since the scandal with director Chen during the filming of "Walking and Singing", her previous boyfriends have basically been talented men.

But just when Xu Qing began to want to know more about Hideki Hanyu.

Director Chen started talking about other things with Hanyu Hideki.

After all, even Feng Xiaogang could see that Director Chen's visit was more or less for the purpose of attracting investment, and Director Chen naturally had no intention of concealing it.

As the topic was being discussed, Director Chen intentionally led the discussion to the new movie "Walking and Singing".

Historically, after Director Chen's films "The King of Children" and "Singing While Walking" won the Palme d'Or consecutively, he was questioned by investors, so he was under great pressure when filming "Farewell My Concubine".

Of course, as "The King of Children" did not sell well overseas, the investment for "Walking and Singing" was not smooth.

Director Chen also told Hanyu Hideki about this.

"In fact, I really like the original author who sings while walking. I like the tenacious vitality in his works, and the sense of power that seems to burst out from the words."

After saying this seemingly irrelevant sentence, Hanyu Hideki turned to ask Director Chen, "Director Chen, how far has the investment progressed in adapting his work this time?"

"We plan to shoot the movie at Xi'an Film Studio. We have already decided on an investor, who was introduced by the America-Asia Cultural Exchange Foundation. It's a Hollywood **** company. I wonder if Mr. Hanyu has heard of it?"

Director Chen mentioned the name of a company.

"I roughly know that it's a small company that mainly invests in overseas films and then screens them in America. I've never cooperated with Yunshang Pictures, but I've cooperated with Blockbuster a lot in recent years."

Hideki Hanyu's words clearly showed his contempt for this small company.

Because there are so many small independent production companies like this in Hollywood, they made profits by distributing overseas films on a small scale in the early years. In recent years, with the rise of the videotape market, they have made a living by selling videotape copyrights.

It is backed by cinemas in front and Blockbuster in the back.

Regardless of whether it is before or after, Hanyu Hideki is always at the top, so we can still expect him to be valued.

Of course, the small company that he didn't care about was Director Chen's investor at this time.

Director Chen does not have the confidence of a big boss like Hanyu Hideki, so it is naturally difficult for him to comment together and he can only continue speaking.

"After this company's investment, there is probably still a little gap in the budget. Considering that the film plans to go to the European film festival route, I have recently contacted a German investor."

Hearing this, Hanyu Hideki asked directly, "How much investment gap is left?"

Director Chen replied, "About 600,000 Chinese Yuan."

"Then there's no need to look for a German company. I'll help you contact the French Gaumont Company for investment. Their connections in the European film industry, especially at the Cannes Film Festival, are definitely much stronger than the Germans."

Hideki Hanyu said it lightly.

It seems like helping Director Chen contact Gaumont for investment is as simple as ordering food in a restaurant.

But his words were full of surprise and joy to Director Chen. After all, he was well aware of Gaumont's influence in the French and even European film circles.

The company’s strength is much stronger than the German company he wants to contact.

If he could get investment from Gaumont, his films would be much more successful in Europe, both in terms of distribution and winning awards.

Although he was pleasantly surprised, Director Chen couldn't help but ask, "Sir, can you really get Gaumont to invest in my movie?"

"Don't worry, there will be no problem."

Hideki Hanyu's words were full of confidence.

After all, Yunshang Pictures is now a shareholder of Gaomeng Company. An investment of 600,000 Chinese yuan is just a matter of making a phone call.

This is because he has a bad impression of Director Chen and doesn't want to get involved in the investment himself. Otherwise, a funding gap of just 400,000 Chinese Yuan would not be worth his time going through so much trouble.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Hanyu."

Director Chen was delighted that the investment had been made by a large company like Gaumont Group, so he raised his glass to thank Hanyu Hideki.

On the other side, Xu Qing saw that Hanyu Hideki had finished talking with Director Chen, and seized the opportunity to ask Hanyu Hideki.

"Mr. Hanyu, I heard you and Director Chen keep talking about Yunshang Entertainment. What is your relationship with Yunshang Entertainment?"

After knowing Hanyu Hideki's identity, Xu Qing even started to address Hanyu Hideki with respect.

However, before Hanyu Hideki could speak, Director Chen answered first, "Mr. Hanyu is the boss of Yunshang Entertainment and also the founder of Yunshang Entertainment."

"Founder?"

Xu Qing looked at Hanyu Hideki's young face, and shock appeared on his face again.

It was really hard for her to believe that Hideki Hanyu, who looked to be the same age as her, was actually the boss and founder of Yunshang Entertainment.

After all, there are limited news channels in the country nowadays. Although she knows some news and information about Yunshang Entertainment, most of them are heard from relatives, friends, and classmates, and her understanding is not comprehensive.

So naturally, she didn’t know about the high-level information of Yunshang Entertainment.

In fact, even if the Internet is well developed in the future, many people who like a certain movie may not necessarily know who the boss of the company that produced the movie is.

Hanyu Hideki saw Xu Qing's expression, smiled and asked, "Why, don't you look like him?"

Xu Qing answered in a daze, "Yes, they are somewhat different. You look about the same age as me."

Hanyu Hideki smiled and said, "Since we look about the same age, don't call me "you". It makes me sound like an old man."

Xu Qing swallowed and asked, "So, you are really the boss of Yunshang Entertainment, the company that produced My Sassy Girl?"

"It's completely true. My company is filming my work. Doesn't that sound normal?"

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he immediately emphasized, "My Sassy Girl was actually produced by Yunshang Films, a subsidiary of Yunshang Entertainment."

Xu Qing quickly said, "I understand this, just like Cloud Music, right?"

Hanyu Hideki was a little surprised, "You actually know Cloud Music?"

Xu Qing smiled proudly, revealing two beautiful dimples, and said, "Because my favorite Hong Kong singer is from Cloud Music." Hanyu Hideki asked curiously, "Which one is it?"

"Danny Chan." Xu Qing replied.

Hanyu Hideki suddenly realized, "It turns out to be Danny. If you have the chance to come to Hong Kong, I can introduce you to each other."

"A word is settled!"

After all, Xu Qing had a good background and came from a wealthy family, so he didn't make a fuss about meeting his favorite singer.

Of course, surprises of Hideki Hanyu's level don't count.

So after she finished speaking, she immediately asked curiously, "When you wrote the love letter, did you rely entirely on your imagination, or did you draw on real-life emotions?"

Hanyu Hideki pretended to think for a while, then slowly said, "Creation is a very complicated thing. At that time, I..."

It was obviously a gathering of many people, but now, for Hideki Hanyu, it has become a communication activity to satisfy the curiosity of his fans.

And now Xu Qing obviously hasn't realized what his curiosity about Hanyu Hideki will cause between them.

……

February 19th.

The day after the party organized by Feng Xiaogang.

Hideki Hanyu spent the whole morning dealing with matters before his departure.

He was busy until lunch time and was about to go to the restaurant to eat, but he saw an unexpected but seemingly expected guest.

"Mr. Hanyu, surprise?"

The girl in front of me with long hair, wearing a blue coat and two noticeable dimples when she smiles, could it be anyone else but Xu Qing.

Last night, the other party kept asking him questions and he was still not satisfied until the end of the conversation.

As a result, after only ten hours of separation, the two met again.

Looking at the girl who jumped out of the restaurant door like a little child, Hanyu Hideki answered with a beautiful smile on his face.

“It’s a bit of a surprise indeed.”

"Since it's a surprise, the gentleman should treat me to a meal."

After saying that, Xu Qing glanced at the restaurant of Yanjing Hotel behind him, thought for a moment and said, "The last time I came here to eat was when my mother brought me here, and that was several years ago."

One sentence is enough to prove that the other party's background is extraordinary.

After all, these days, if a child at such a young age could eat at the Yanjing Hotel, which was used to entertain important foreign guests, it was obviously impossible for them to come from an ordinary family.

Many media outlets later reported that she had "princess syndrome."

Is it possible that those behaviors that are considered princess-like in the eyes of ordinary people are just normal life conditions for others?

Hanyu Hideki ignored the other party's words and deliberately said, "It's okay to treat me to a meal, but you have to promise me one thing."

Xu Qing took three or two steps to Hanyu Hideki, naturally crossed the intimate distance between the two, put his hands behind his back, and asked playfully.

"What does sir want me to promise?"

Hanyu Hideki lowered his head and deliberately shortened the distance between him and the girl's face. "Then don't call me sir."

"Then...what do you call me?"

Seeing Hanyu Hideki's handsome face suddenly approaching, Xu Qing's heart trembled inexplicably, his face turned slightly red, and he suddenly couldn't speak clearly.

Hanyu Hideki said, "Hanyu, or Hideki is fine."

Xu Qing nodded and said, "Then I'll call you Xiushu, but you have to call me Qingzi."

"Haruko sounds like a Japanese girl's name," said Hideki Hanyu.

"Not Haruko, it's Haruko."

Xu Qing spoke with a very authentic Yanjing accent.

"Haruko."

Hanyu Hideki tried calling out using Xu Qing's pronunciation, and then commented, "It doesn't feel like calling a girl, it feels more like calling a good brother."

When Xu Qing heard this, he immediately said, "Then you should still use your name, Qingzi."

Hanyu Hideki raised his lips and asked with a smile, "Why did you change your mind again?"

Xu Qingjiao snorted, "Humph, because I don't want to be your brother."

"What do you mean?" Hanyu Hideki asked deliberately.

Unexpectedly, Xu Qing did not answer, but said "Let's eat", then turned and walked into the restaurant.

But vaguely, Hideki Hanyu still heard a faint complaint.

"You are so stupid. You still have to ask this."

After a while, Xu Qing walked into the restaurant and saw that Hanyu Hideki had not moved, so he turned around and said to Hanyu Hideki.

"Didn't you say you'd treat me to a meal? Hurry up, you still have to go shopping with me after dinner."

Walking into the restaurant, Hanyu Hideki pretended to be confused, "When did I agree to go shopping?"

"Now!"

……

Unfortunately, Hanyu Hideki did not agree to Xu Qing's willful request.

Although he was interested in beautiful women, he had more important things to do.

A meeting with subordinates has been scheduled for the afternoon, including Master Kong General Manager Yosuke Yasui.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for him to give up his wife for a woman.

And the little princess has always been "successful in everything" and "successful in everything" among the opposite sex and has never been rejected.

After being rejected without hesitation by Hanyu Hideki, I was angry at first, but soon I felt a sense of "novelty".

Then, she not only comforted herself.

He even sat quietly outside the hotel's conference room until Hanyu Hideki finished all his work.

As a result, Hanyu Hideki walked out of the conference room and saw that the girl had not left yet, so he asked directly, "Why haven't you left yet?"

Xu Qing, who had been moved by himself for the whole afternoon, said with some grievance when he heard Hanyu Hideki's words.

"Do you really want me to leave? You really don't want to see me? Then I'll leave!"

After saying that, Xu Qing turned around and left.

Hideki Hanyu could even see tears welling up in the corners of the girl's eyes when she turned around.

Even so, he did not chase after her, but just slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a relaxed smile.

……

After the "unpleasant parting" with Xu Qing, Hanyu Hideki started to get busy with his work.

Soon, two days passed.

The date came to February 21st.

It was also the last day before Hideki Hanyu left Yanjing.

That day, when he finished explaining all the work to his subordinates and walked out of the hotel conference room, the sky outside was already full of stars and the night was as dark as ink.

But when he turned around, he saw Xu Qing's familiar figure again.

"Beauty, what a coincidence."

Hideki Hanyu made a joke.

But Xu Qing said nothing, turned around and walked into the night.

Hideki Hanyu took a step forward and chased after him.

Xu Qing, who was walking in front, felt inexplicably happy when he heard the footsteps of Hanyu Hideki chasing after him.

She felt that her growing longing for Hanyu Hideki during these two days was worth it.

But soon, the footsteps of Hideki Hanyu behind him suddenly stopped.

Xu Qing walked forward a few steps and couldn't help but look back. Then he saw Hanyu Hideki standing not far behind him, looking at him quietly.

A complex feeling of grievance surged in his heart, and Xu Qing turned and walked in front of Hanyu Hideki.

He asked in an uncomfortable tone, "Why did you stop?"

Hanyu Hideki remained silent.

Xu Qing asked again, "You can clearly feel my feelings!
You don't know how sad I am that I haven't seen you these past two days."

Hanyu Hideki spoke slowly, "We have known each other for too short a time. You don't understand me at all. Your feelings towards me now are nothing but curiosity and impulse."

Xu Qing looked into Hanyu Hideki's eyes and said stubbornly, "These are just excuses, unless you say you don't like me!"

"Sorry, I don't..."

Before Hanyu Hideki finished his words, Xu Qing seemed unable to bear to hear the answer that made her sad, and was about to leave with tears in her eyes.

But when she turned halfway, her wrist was grabbed by Hanyu Hideki.

Feeling the warmth of Hanyu Hideki's palm, Xu Qing burst into laughter.

"I knew you liked me, too."

Hanyu Hideki pretended to be bitter and said, "I can't like you."

Xu Qing asked unwillingly, "Why?"

"Because I don't deserve it, I..."

Hideki Hanyu explained his emotional state very sincerely.

It has to be said that the Playboy’s love life was indeed exciting, and Xu Qing was stunned when he heard about it.

When the scumbag saw this, sadness immediately appeared in his star-like eyes, and his handsome face was full of loneliness. He slowly let go of Xu Qing's wrist, turned around and left alone.

But while taking steps, Hanyu Hideki was counting silently.

"one two Three……"

When he counted to three silently, footsteps were heard behind him, and then a pair of arms hugged him from behind.

Soon, I heard the girl talking behind me.

"As long as you like me too, I don't care."

In an instant, a barely detectable smile flashed across the scumbag's pretending to be depressed face.

Next, Hideki Hanyu turned around and hugged the girl.

Then, under the night sky, he bent his head and kissed her.

Feeling the girl's shyness and immaturity, the scumbag had such thoughts in his mind.

This is more fun and interesting than using power and wealth.

No?
