Chapter 10 Numbers
It takes more than seven hours to fly from Tokyo to Singapore. Although it is not as long as Hong Kong to Los Angeles, it is also a long journey.
After reading the information, Chen Chong took a nap for a while. After waking up, he saw Qiu Siyu holding a dictionary on her knees and holding a Japanese magazine in her hand. While reading, her lips moved slightly, making a slight sound. She practiced her pronunciation. She had been doing this since she got on the plane. Several hours passed, without any slackness and fatigue.
"Xiaoyu, you take a break for a while. It's too hard to put a lot of pressure on me." Chen Chong shook his neck and said, "I saw you were still learning Minnan a while ago, and now you know Japanese again. If this continues, I can't afford your salary."
Qiu Siyu smiled with a pursed lips, she put down the magazine and asked, "Mr. Chen, do you want something to drink?"
"No." Shen Chong sat upright, saw the stills of Yamaguchi Momoe in "Die Hard" in the magazine, and asked, "What did the magazine say?"
"This is a film review, saying that although "Die Hard" has a good box office, Yamaguchi Momoe has not many scenes. She should not use such a movie with no artistic value as her retirement work. The author believes that behind this is the fault of Hiroshi Co., Ltd., they sacrificed Yamaguchi Momoe's artistic career for the sake of money. The words are very fierce, calling on the entire Japanese art world to attack Hiroshif."
"Didn't you say to attack me?" Chen Chong smiled and said, "I am the big devil behind the scenes."
"No." Qiu Siyu picked up the magazines that she had read on the seat and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, you have a good reputation in Japan. These magazines are all very high-selling in Japan, and they all say good things about you."
"I'm not that famous in Japan, right?"
"I didn't before, but now I have it." Qiu Siyu knew that he liked numbers, so she picked up a magazine and read it to him, saying: "This is the latest issue of the Japanese music credibility ranking. "That Flower" has won the seventh consecutive week, with sales of nearly UU,000 copies. According to the current hot sales trend, Yamaguchi Momoe will soon become the first female singer in Japan to sell more than one million singles, and will also be the first female singer with a total sales of more than ten million records. The average sales volume of her records before was only 340,000. This time, sales can double. In addition to the excitement of retirement, the good music written by Mr. Chen is also considered an important reason. Also, "Star" covered by Tanimura Shinji is also on the credibility list. This song has been released for more than three months, and it is still ranked in the top 20, with sales of more than 500,000 copies. Mr. Chen, you are now the king of the Japanese music industry and very popular. The magazine says you are Tsumi Kyohei of Hong Kong."
The Japanese pop music market is different from other countries. Most other countries release music in the form of albums, while Japan likes to sell music in the form of singles. Yamaguchi Momoe is in aIkmau
When it was just released and CDs were not yet available, the total sales volume of records was close to 10 million, which was definitely very popular.
However, plagiarism has innate original sin, praise and dazzling data, not only does not bring pleasure, but instead makes Chen Chong a little awkward. He turned to ask: "Who is Tsumi Kyohei?"
"He is the most famous composer in Japan. He entered the industry in 2019. Since 19UR, he has entered the top ten Japanese composers' sales rankings every year. Among them, 71, 73, 75, and 76 are all annual sales champions. He has won 5 trophys of the Japan Annual Record Awards, written hundreds of songs, and more than ten songs have become the champions of the credibility charts. Hiromi Iwasaki, Mahiko Kondo, and Weng Qianyu and Ouyang Feifei who have developed from Taiwan to Japan, all of them have become popular in his songs."
This is a powerful version of Miyuki Nakajima
Chen Chong thought about it, Qiu Siyu continued: "The Japanese media believed that Chen always let go completely, allowing Kurosawa Akira to burn money wildly without any preparation. He also wrote a good song like "That Flower". He also made a romantic arrangement that touched the whole of Japan at Moe Yamaguchi's retirement concert. He is a big boss who respects artists very much and understands art very much, so he has a good reputation."
"Is that right?" Chen Chong touched his chin, and he was really unintentional. He was just using Yamaguchi Momoe to promote movies. Unexpectedly, he gained a good reputation. He asked again: "What does the Japanese media evaluate "The Legend of the Tiger"?"
"The evaluation is mixed." Qiu Siyu has a very strong inductive ability and said: "The sound and light effect has reached the first-class level in Hollywood, and the world's top kung fu action, but the pace is too fast and the plot is not delicate enough to touch people's hearts."
"The people who write movie reviews are all old men, right?" Chen Chong said with a smile, "Japan is clearly one of the fastest-paced countries in the world, but their film companies are always making slow movies, slowly talking about love, and slowly traveling around the mountains and rivers. People are panicked, so young Japanese people no longer enter the cinema, and the film industry is also sluggish."
"Well." Qiu Siyu changed to another newspaper and said: "This is today's Yomiuri Shimbun. The financial version said that "Die Hard" had a box office of more than 1.8 billion yen in the first week. If it was released for a month, it is very likely to surpass "Shadow Samurai" 44. Become the 19RU movie box office champion, Japanese film companies should reflect on it."
In 19RU, 1 USD can be exchanged for 0 yen, and 1.8 billion yen for USD, which is only 00,000. Chen Chong is not satisfied with this result. You should know that in 1978, Jiahe found a substitute and repaired Bruce Lee's unfinished work "The Death Game", re-edited, and then took it to Japan for a box office of 900 million yen. "Die Hard" has a strong lineup and is well-produced. There is also the joining of popular Japanese artists, so it deserves a higher box office.
According to industry rules, the total box office of a popular movie is about 3 times the box office of the first week. According to this, "Die Hard" can get about US$1,000 in Japan. The Japanese film industry is in a downturn and theaters are very weak. According to the contract, Oriental Charm can get a total box office of 55,000, so that the Japanese market alone will recover all production costs, and the rest of the box office in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Europe and North America are all profitable.
High investment and high returns. The money earned by "Die Hard" is probably more than Shaw's production of dozens of low-cost movies a year. It was so exciting that Shen Chong and had a wealthy fortune. Run Run Shaw, who has always wanted to enter the international film market but failed repeatedly, wonder if he will try the waters again?
After Jiahe tastes the sweetness, will sheafen the oriental charm and tinker with the big production by herself?
Will that newly established Princess Jin also play big productions?
As a financial city, Hong Kong is full of hot money looking for investment opportunities. Will they be jealous and try the film industry?
