Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 847 Unexpected Liveliness

"The road of life is as long as a beautiful dream..."

At No. 81 Baijianshi Road, Hanyu Hideki looked at Leslie Cheung singing in front of him with a slightly surprised expression.

It was obvious that his purpose of coming here was to have a chat with the Beyond band and then pick up a beautiful girl for fun.

It was already a surprise to pick up Jacky Cheung before leaving.

Who would have thought that when he arrived here, one or two familiar singers arrived one after another, without knowing who had leaked the news.

For example, here is Leslie Cheung standing in the large rehearsal room on the first floor, singing "A Chinese Ghost Story".

It was under the instigation of others that the other party started performing shortly afterwards.

Next to them, Huang Jiaqiang stood in front of the keyboard and Huang Jiaju held the guitar, and the two of them accompanied Leslie Cheung on the spot.

Around Hideki Hanyu, there were the remaining two members of the Beyond band, as well as the Happy Girls Group and Jacky Cheung who came with them.

Also standing there were the Grasshopper band brought by Danny Chan, Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, and Anita Mui, and even some singers from Huaxing Records, including Leon Lai and Aaron Kwok, whom Hanyu Hideki had been eyeing before.

Seeing that Anita Mui brought Grasshopper with her, Hanyu Hideki really wanted to know, are you sure she is not here to ruin the party?
Although both Grasshopper and Beyond have signed contracts with QQ Music, the fan groups of both sides have been fighting each other since Grasshopper debuted.

Even though the official has not claimed it, among the fan base, Beyond and Grasshopper are already open competitors.

In addition to these stars, they were also accompanied by agents and other staff.

In short, Room 81, where Beyond practiced singing, was packed with people.

If someone didn’t know and took a look, they would think a small fan meeting was being held here.

But if you look closely, you will find that these people, whether they are playing accompaniment, singing, or watching the performance, are all stars.

Just at this moment, Hanyu Hideki saw another person walking in at the door.

Chen Shufen, general manager of Stellar Entertainment.

It was under the other party's persuasion that Leslie Cheung chose to sign with Cloud Music.

Later, with the support of Yunshang Entertainment, Star Entertainment was established. It was also the other party who planned to poach Jacky Cheung from PolyGram when he was in a slump.

Now the other party has the support of Yunshang Entertainment, has abundant resources, and has Leslie Cheung and Jacky Cheung on board. She is considered a big sister figure in the Hong Kong entertainment circle.

When Hanyu Hideki saw this person, he walked up to her and pulled her to the door without waiting for Chen Shufen to come in.

"Manager Chen, what's going on?"

Hideki Hanyu pointed to the group of people inside.

Chen Shufen understood what Hanyu Hideki meant and answered after looking at the people inside.

"It was Jacky's assistant who told me that you brought Jacky here to play, and Leslie (Leslie Cheung) happened to want to consult you about something, so I asked him to come to you.

As for the others, I guess they also heard from other sources that you wanted to play here, so they came here specially."

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he probably understood what was going on.

To put it bluntly, these people knew from various channels that he was coming here, and they also knew that he brought other people with him, and that Leslie Cheung came here specially.

So they all didn't want to fall behind and came to please their boss.

As for whether it was a misunderstanding or not, I guess these people no longer care about it.

After all, the boss wanted to listen to music, and everyone else went, but you didn't come. It would be fine if you really had a job, but if people knew that you didn't have a job, your boss might remember it.

It would be fine if Hideki Hanyu was just an ordinary small company boss.

But Hideki Hanyu happens to be an entertainment and media tycoon who has complete control over Asia.

Faced with such a big boss, no one dares to take chances.

Besides, everyone is willing to come if they can please Hideki Hanyu by coming here.

However, Hideki Hanyu is still helpless.

He also felt that as his status and position became higher and higher, and the power and resources he held grew stronger and stronger, any of his actions, even if he had no other ideas at all, would be infinitely magnified by those with ulterior motives.

Of course, he didn’t even need a hint, as half of the Hong Kong music scene came to sing with him, and even the future Four Heavenly Kings were assembled.

That feeling of satisfaction and vanity inevitably filled my entire chest.

But thinking of the Four Heavenly Kings, he asked Chen Shufen again, "Why are people from Huaxing here too?"

Chen Shufen was originally a senior executive of Huaxing Records. Even after she left Huaxing with Zhan Guorong, she did not cut off her ties with TVB and Huaxing because of the relationship with Yunshang Entertainment.

Therefore, asking Chen Shufen about matters concerning Huaxing is definitely not the wrong person to ask.

As expected, Chen Shufen answered without hesitation, "We have been very close to Huaxing in the past few years, and everyone knows that Ms. Fang wants to concentrate on the TV business, so there have been rumors that Yunshang Entertainment will swallow Huaxing sooner or later.

In this case, their agent received the news and brought them here just to get closer to you, their future boss, in advance."

"hehe."

Hanyu Hideki laughed, not knowing what to say.

After all, what Chen Shufen said sounded so reasonable.

Next, as he and Chen Shufen walked back into the house, the Beyond training base immediately turned into a lively large-scale karaoke party.

And it’s all-star level karaoke.

A moment ago, Leslie Cheung was still singing "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "The Wind Continues to Blow".

The next moment, it was Wang Jie's turn to play and sing "One Line, One Game, One Dream" by himself.

Immediately afterwards, Anita Mui pushed Grasshopper onto the stage to perform her new song.

Jacky Cheung was even more eager to try it out.

……

If any Chinese music fan saw this level of "compilation karaoke", he would be so happy that he would faint on the spot.

But at this moment, there is only one reason why these people gathered here to perform.

That is Hideki Hanyu.

When Hideki Hanyu saw so many stars surrounding him, he felt that the result of his hard work over the years was fully tangible in front of him.

So, is this the happiness of being a big shot?
When Grasshopper was performing, Anita Mui came to ask if she had any advice for the band.
Although Grasshopper’s record contract is with Cloud Music, because they were discovered by Anita Mui, their management contract is signed with Anita Mui’s company.

Of course, Anita Mui’s own record contract is still with Huaxing, so no matter how you look at it, they can be considered as our own people.

Although because of Kondo Masahiko, Anita Mui had some "slight" unpleasantness with Hanyu Hideki who had just arrived in Hong Kong.

But in Hideki Hanyu's opinion, it was all Kondo's fault.

After all, in her relationship with Kondo Masahiko, Anita Mui was actually a victim of emotional and financial deception.

Now, Kondo Masahiko has disappeared from the earth because he was blamed for the dissolution of Johnny & Associates.

Therefore, Hanyu Hideki no longer cares about that little problem at the beginning.

Even after breaking up with Kondo Masahiko, Anita Mui specifically expressed through an intermediary that she wanted to personally apologize to Hanyu Hideki.

In order to reassure the other party, Hideki Hanyu expressed his forgiveness directly.

Of course, Hanyu Hideki has always admired Mei Gu for her firm stance, frankness and fearlessness.

As long as you understand his good deeds during the "East China Flood" and his various patriotic expressions and remarks such as tearing up his passport, it is difficult to dislike Hideki Hanyu, who has a Chinese soul in his body.

It’s a pity that the other party was so beautiful and died young.

It is a pity that the Hong Kong entertainment industry has lost such a public figure who dares to love and hate, is generous and heroic, and has a peerless beauty.

This was true for Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung as well.

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu suddenly felt that perhaps he should take over Huaxing Records as soon as possible.

Then, according to the rules of Yunshang Entertainment, we can arrange health supervision services from the Life and Health Center for Huaxing’s artists.

The disease that caused Anita Mui's death is actually more effectively prevented than cured.

Since you've traveled through time, you have to change something, right?
Having made a secret decision in his heart, Hanyu Hideki briefly discussed with Mei Gu his suggestions for the development of Grasshopper.

In Hanyu Hideki's opinion, Grasshopper and Beyond are two completely different bands. Although the outside world comments that they are competitors, there is actually no point in comparing them.

For Grasshopper, as long as they can produce popular works, they don’t need to care whether they are original or not.

Therefore, just boldly search for copyright adaptations of overseas music.

In Hanyu Hideki's opinion, Grasshopper seemed to be entangled in public opinion in the past, which made it difficult to move freely. Of course, this was also related to the strength of Grasshopper's support.

But now, whether it is Hideki Hanyu's attitude or the support of Yunshang Entertainment, it is enough to support Grasshopper to continue in its own style.

Finally, Hideki Hanyu remembered that in Taiwan, the TV series "Fairy Wife" being prepared by Zhongyun TV Station is expected to start filming soon.

Of course, the song "Lovelor Front Alliance" originally sung by Grasshopper will also be arranged.

You have to know that in another time and space, it was this song that allowed Grasshopper to take advantage of the popularity of Mandarin music, break out of the Cantonese music circle, and become completely popular throughout Asia.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki immediately said to Anita Mui.

"I'll have my assistant contact you later. I'm at Zhongyun TV in Taiwan. A TV series is about to start filming and there's a theme song that's very suitable for Grasshopper. You can use it to try to open up the Mandarin music market."

Seeing that Hanyu Hideki personally found opportunities for Grasshopper, Anita Mui immediately thanked him, "Thank you sir for your cultivation of Grasshopper. I will definitely let them cherish the opportunity and work hard."

“We are all family, so if we don’t give them the opportunity, then who else should we give it to? There’s no need to be so polite.

However, the rise of the Mandarin market is an inevitable trend, and they really need to seize the opportunity. I feel this TV series has the potential to be a big hit.”

When facing Anita Mui, Hanyu Hideki couldn't help but give a few more pointers.

"I'll tell them."

After saying this, Anita Mui said goodbye and left.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Shufen brought Leslie Cheung to communicate with him.

While the others were already having fun, the three of them sat in a corner.

Leslie Cheung was the first to ask.

As expected, it was an invitation regarding "Farewell My Concubine".

"Sir, do you think I should accept the invitation to this movie?"

Hanyu Hideki said without hesitation, "You ask me this question, are you afraid of competition?"

In fact, during this period, in addition to Leslie Cheung, another person who was interested in inviting John Lone, who starred in "The Last Dynasty", to play the role of Cheng Dieyi in "Farewell My Concubine".

Even as a Hollywood star, John Lone has international influence that Leslie Cheung does not have. At one point, investment companies were actually more optimistic about John Lone.

Of course, in addition to Zun Long, there is another competitor who is also very powerful.

That’s right, it was Jiang Wen who recommended himself.

When the scumbag saw this news in his previous life, he once suspected that the report was wrong. Based on Jiang Wen’s appearance and style, was he sure that the person he recommended was not Overlord?

The scene of this actor with overflowing male hormones playing Yu Ji is so exciting just thinking about it.

But then again, in some places, round faces, buzz cuts and beards seem to represent "Lolita", so this seems to make sense.

However, Leslie Cheung is still unaware of Jiang Wen’s competition, but he knows that because of his hesitation, the crew has been contacting Zun Long.

He, who has always refused to admit defeat, immediately said firmly after hearing Hanyu Hideki's words, "I am not afraid of any competition."

"Since you are not afraid, just agree to it."

As soon as Hanyu Hideki said this, Leslie Cheung immediately looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak.

Of course, Hideki Hanyu knew what the other party was worried about. After all, due to the type of this movie, it is very likely that his private life will be magnified after he stars in it.

In today's more conservative social atmosphere, once some things are exposed, they are bound to be subject to huge public pressure.

Faced with Leslie Cheung's hesitation, Hanyu Hideki immediately showed a confident smile.

“I know what you are worried about, but don’t forget that you are not alone now. The entire Yunshang Entertainment is standing behind you. Please don’t underestimate the strength of Yunshang Entertainment.

I can assure you right now that as long as Yunshang Entertainment is here, the public opinion you are worried about will never happen."

What a joke! With Yunshang Entertainment's current strength in the Asian media industry, it would be easy for them to help Leslie Cheung suppress public opinion. Even if something really happened, they are fully capable of turning black into white.

"Really?" Leslie Cheung asked hopefully.

This question is not only for the movie, but also for himself.

"Of course, even if you don't believe in Yunshang Entertainment's strength, you should at least believe in mine."

Hanyu Hideki's tone was not only confident, but even a little arrogant.

However, when Zhan Guorong heard the tone, she did not feel disgusted, but instead felt a full sense of security.

To put it simply, Hideki Hanyu's boyfriend power is off the charts at this moment.

Hideki Hanyu, who had made the big talk, saw that his brother was looking at him with more and more satisfaction and tenderness, but he felt inexplicably uneasy.

Although he admired Leslie Cheung, but...

The scumbag thought of this and quickly changed the subject.

"If you are willing to take on this role, settle in and perform well, I am confident that I can help you win the Best Actor Grand Slam."

The Grand Slam that Hideki Hanyu is talking about at this time is naturally the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards.

At this stage, although Leslie Cheung has shifted the focus of his career to acting, he has not yet won any acting honors.

Leslie Cheung himself was very eager for performance honors and was quite talented in acting, but for various reasons he did not achieve much success.

In another time and space, the movie "Days of Being Wild" starring King of Sunglasses, which had worn Leslie Cheung out to the point that he was unwilling to cooperate again, would help Leslie Cheung win the Best Actor Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards after it was released in December this year.

After that, although Leslie Cheung was nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Golden Horse Awards thirteen times, he never won the awards again.

As for "Farewell My Concubine", in the past life, due to the prejudice of some people and unspeakable reasons, it ultimately did not qualify for awards in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

However, in this time and space, since the distribution of "Farewell My Concubine" was taken over by Yunshang Entertainment, Hideki Hanyu would like to see who dares to disqualify this movie from the awards.

As for the Best Actor, it was just a matter of convenience.

Even Taiwan’s Golden Horse Awards would be easier for him to handle.

But how could he be satisfied with just these two awards?

He opened his mouth and spoke to Leslie Cheung.

"This movie will definitely be submitted to the Cannes Film Festival. As long as you participate in it, Yunshang Entertainment will definitely help you get the Cannes Film Festival Best Actor Award."

The time has come for Yunshang Entertainment’s efforts in Europe over the years to come into play.

Even Leslie Cheung couldn't help but be excited when he heard about the Cannes Best Actor Award.

So after thinking about it for a while, he nodded heavily and said, "I will ask Sister Chen to contact Manager Xu Feng of Tomson."

After hearing what Leslie Cheung said, he naturally agreed to perform.

Hearing this, Hanyu Hideki smiled and said, "You won't regret this choice."

Next, Hideki Hanyu and Leslie Cheung returned to the crowd and started singing karaoke with everyone.

As for what I originally wanted to talk about with Beyond, since they have been serving as accompaniment, there is obviously no chance tonight.

Even trying to seduce beautiful women failed.

Even though Li Lizhen gave all kinds of hints and Fennie Yuen often glanced at him shyly out of curiosity, the scumbag was unable to find a chance to hook up with her until everyone left at midnight.

In the end, he could only watch the girls leave together.

As for him, he did not return to Zhou Huimin's residence, but went to No. 89 Repulse Bay to accompany another A'an.

Because of the unfulfilled desire just now, the scumbag who was holding back his anger didn't get much rest in Room 89 and released his anger for almost the entire night.

The next day.

February 26th.

Zhang Qi was, of course, too tired to go to work.

As for Hideki Hanyu, who had a great physique and was full of energy after sleeping for more than two hours, he waited for the four members of the Beyond band at No. 89 Repulse Bay.

This was something Hideki Hanyu specifically told them to do before they left last night.

Now that the problem has been discovered, it is of course best to solve it as soon as possible.

However, just as Hanyu Hideki and a few others sat down in the living room, they heard Wong Ka Kui speak directly.

"Sir, we want to terminate the contract with Chen Jiantian."

I’m tired and out of shape. That’s all I have to say. Sorry.
