Su Changqing received many New Year congratulatory text messages, first from Japan's Kamino and Hengshan in the East 9th District, then from domestically in the East 8th District, and the third wave from the United States the next day.

The United States is a bit weird. One country's five time zones have crossed into 1999 five times. If you watch the news, it feels like each state is going back in time.

The acquisition of several buildings in Kamno has been completed. Liu Yufei said that after Japan was hit by the financial crisis, the economy has been revitalized. It can be seen from the leasing situation of each property that the activity is higher than before the crisis.

"Moreover, real estate prices have stopped falling and have recovered. We have basically taken advantage of the bottom."

Therefore, Ding Jialuo, Ximen Dongfang and others admired Su Changqing again. They thought it would take several years before there would be any signs of rising prices, but they did not expect to see the appreciation so soon.

The key is that those who speculated on the Russian financial market and planned to short the Japanese economy for a long time did not get out in time and suffered huge losses. This also made those who had always followed Su Changqing secretly call it a fluke.

Next, Hengshan only needs to carry out basic leasing operations and make a small profit without losing any money. Within five years, Tokyo house prices will steadily rise to the highest point, and the ultimate profit will be very generous.

By then, Beijing's housing prices will only be around 5,000 per square meter, and will soon enter a rapid upward trend. Whether Hengshan will change his face and return to China to continue investing, he is not in a hurry to decide. After all, such a large amount of money entering the country is not as important as buying and selling properties.

Simple.

There is no need to think about things that are too far away. Su Changqing still has many things to worry about right now.

Kamino's "The Railway Man" was nominated for the main section of the Venice Film Festival, but did not win the award in the end. However, the domestic box office was very good, and it was nominated for 13 Japan Film Academy Awards, including Best Director, Screenplay and Male and Female Lead.

This Academy Award is an award set up in Japan to imitate the Oscars, and the award will be drawn in mid-February.

There are a total of thirteen awards at the Japan Film Academy Awards, and "The Railway Man" was nominated for all thirteen. Although it is not the first film in history, Kamino has once again become famous due to his professional ability.

The last time they dominated the media was due to a takeover, which caused a right-wing backlash. The Japanese were unparalleled in their ability to turn a blind eye. No one has mentioned this incident now.

Su Changqing is the screenwriter and producer of "The Railway Man". The Japan Film Academy is very concerned about whether he can attend the awards ceremony. Ximen Xiong said that he has called twice to confirm, because the time overlaps with the Chinese Spring Festival, and he has not responded yet.

This award is similar to the domestic Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers. Su Changqing is not very interested in it, but in order to support the development of Shenye, it is not impossible to go. We will talk about it when the time comes.

What surprised him was that Takeshi Kitano's "Spark", which won the Golden Lion Award in Venice, was unexpectedly snubbed by the Japan Film Academy Awards and was only nominated for Best Score. This was in sharp contrast to the media's enthusiasm.

In fact, Su Changqing admitted that the overall standard of "The Railway Man" is not as good as "Sparks". After all, there is a gap in the level of the two directors. This cannot be made up by Su Changqing's good story writing.

Kitano was furious about this and publicly attacked the Nippon Film Academy, saying many unpleasant things and basically breaking up.

There are also many grievances and grievances in the Japanese film industry. God knows who this guy offended. He won an international award for his work, but he was so disliked after returning to his country.

Su Changqing's luck is much better. In mid-December, we received news that "The Railway Man" has been introduced in China and will be released after the Spring Festival.

Su Changqing is already planning the next work for Kamino, but he hasn't thought about it yet. "Seihebei at Dusk", "One Kill" and "The Life of the Disliked Matsuko" are all under consideration. The three works span a wide range of styles.

It’s too big to choose, so I’ll wait until after the Spring Festival.

Du Keke was a little anxious. "Dragon" has been popular in China for half a year, so he should consider what to film next. He asked again in the New Year's Day text message.

Su Changqing did not agree with releasing a Jin Yong drama a year as it would easily lead to aesthetic fatigue, so she suggested that she film a relaxing time-travel drama first.

Time travel is not a new concept. It was played badly by Hollywood in the 1970s and 1980s. In addition to various movies that return to the Middle Ages, even the "Superman" Christopher Reeve filmed "Back in Time 70 Years", in which the male protagonist traveled through seventy years.

Ten years later, I went back in time and fell in love with a popular female star.

This routine is similar to the later mainland Internet literature, and it is also urban entertainment.

Therefore, the themes of mainland movies and TV series in the 1980s and 1990s were monotonous and lacked creativity. Most of the time, it was not because certain themes were not adapted to the local environment and could not be produced. After all, "Looking for Qin" was published long ago. The audience may not really understand time travel and rebirth. The fundamental reason is still

The level of film and television creation is not enough, especially the professional level of directors and directors needs to be improved.

After writing the outline of "Cat and Mouse Game", Su Changqing took two days to write an episode outline for Du Keke's 35-episode TV series, and then asked her to find someone to fill in the content.

Compiling this kind of story outline originally took one day, but he respected the original work and tried hard to recall the plot and it only took two days.

"This time-travel TV series is called "Gong Lock Heart Jade". The content is light and pleasant, especially for women, and it is also suitable for you to film."

Du Keke is better at filming emotional scenes involving sticky characters, but martial arts is actually not his strong point.

The story is that the heroine, the heir to an antique store, ran into a mysterious forest during the engagement ceremony to chase a picture of a beauty in palace dress that was blown away by the wind.

The moment I got the picture of the beautiful heroine, I didn't know why my feet were empty, and I fell into the time and space tunnel and traveled to the Ming Dynasty.

Su Changqing didn't like Qing palace dramas, but Huanzhu became a hit nationwide in August, setting off a wave of craze and making him lose his appetite for Qing palace dramas again.

The heroine traveled to the Ming Dynasty and met the prince who was in fear every day, the cynical eighth prince, and the moody fourth prince, which triggered emotional disputes between her and several princes.

Therefore, this TV series can also be called "All the Princes of the Ming Dynasty Love Me", and it will be the ancestor of mainland time travel dramas and Mary Sue dramas.

This drama is educational. The experience in the Ming Dynasty made the heroine understand a lot of truths. After going through all kinds of hardships, she finally found true love and spent the rest of her life with her.

I haven't decided who will act in this drama yet, and Yang Mi definitely can't do it. She is only fourteen or fifteen years old now, which is too young.

Du Keke can accept the plot, but is not satisfied with the title: "Gong Suo Xin Jade? What does it mean? I know all four words, but I don't understand them when they are put together. Even I, the director, don't understand. The audience

Is that acceptable?"

At that time, the audience really didn't care about this. They just knew the four characters and knew it was the name of a TV series.

"The palace is the palace, and the heart jade is the desire of the heart, locking the desires in the heart."

"It sounds like a Hong Kong and Taiwan romance style. If we make this kind of drama, will the price drop?"

"Why did the price drop?"

“I feel like I’ve lost my price, I’m treating myself as a fool, and I’m treating the audience as a fool too.”

"You are wrong in your thinking. Judging from various signs, the audience currently prefers this method, and it may not be outdated in the next ten or twenty years. There are some truths that you have to consider clearly. What is more important, the needs of the audience or your personal taste?"

Du Ke accepted it: "The market is the most important."

Now she mostly respects Su Changqing's opinions and compromises, but after filming "The Heart of the Palace", she became addicted. She found that this kind of drama was not only easier to shoot but also more profitable, so she got out of control and specialized in filming this kind of drama.

I left the Jin Yong drama to Huang Yang.

After January 3rd, Su Changqing spent half a month working with the special effects company to edit and edit "Kill That Man" and prepare to bring it back to China for the soundtrack.

Dou Wei is better at making movies like this with a lot of Chinese elements.

During this time, Su Changqing also finished writing "Cat and Mouse Game" and began to contact Tom Hanks.
