The Japanese Budou Hall is the main venue for the judo competition in the 19th Olympics. After the Olympics, national judo events are often held, so there are many tatamis in the venue. When the concert is held, most of the tatamis will be put away, placed in the warehouse below the venue, and seats will be placed on the open space. However, there are several areas with excellent viewing locations. Tatamis are not collected, but are surrounded by foldable screens, and then health mats are laid. They are equipped with Japanese coffee tables, like teahouse private rooms, which are very stylish and specially used to serve VIp audiences.

Half an hour before the opening, Chen Chong walked into his private room under the leadership of Akisiyu. There were four people sitting in the private room, namely Shu Ming, the former editor-in-chief of "First Movie Review", the current head of Oriental Charming Japan Branch, Tomoyuki Tanaka, the executive director of Toho Co., Ltd., Homofu, the boss of Yamaguchi Momoe's agency, and Homoaki Kurada, the most successful kung fu star in Japan's development in Hong Kong. "Sorry, I'm late." Chen Chong apologized with a smile and greeted the four of them, he sat cross-legged in the main seat opposite the stage, and joked to Homofu who was sitting on his right hand: "President Him, how are you feeling tonight? Are you very sorry and sad?"

Kuoweif is over forty years old, with a long face and a nose augmentation, and has an impressive pair of eyebrows. After listening to Shu Ming's translation, he bowed slightly, pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Shen Jun is right, I am really sorry that Miss Yamaguchi retired at the peak of her acting career, which is a major loss to the Japanese art world."

Is it your loss?

Because of the difficulties at the beginning, Chen Chong was very unhappy with Kuoweif, but he couldn't act emotionally in business, so he complained in his heart, but said: "Miss Yamaguchi retired for love and would definitely become a legend in the Japanese art world. Kuo Production Co., Ltd. will also be praised for his humanity, and more artists will definitely join President Kuo's company in the future."

"Thank you for your good words from Mr. Shen. Please take care of the business of the society in the future. ""We have a very pleasant cooperation this time, and I think there will definitely be more opportunities in the future."

Of course there are many opportunities...

While Chen Chong was rude, he thought about it in his mind, intending to find an opportunity to swallow up Kuowei's agency.

Chen Chong once watched a movie called "My Girlfriend is a Robot" in his previous life. The movie is very average, but the heroine Haruka Ayase has a very pleasant temperament. Later, she searched for information online and remembered her agency, Hiroshi Co., Ltd., one of the four major Japanese agency companies. In addition to Haruka Ayase, there are also popular artists such as Kyoko Fukada and his wife Satoshi Kiyo.

Yamaguchi Momoe's agency is also the company. At the beginning of the year, Zeng Lizhen contacted Yamaguchi Momoe and was repeatedly troubled. So he collected a lot of information about Kuoweif and studied his preferences. Chen Chong also looked at it when he helped her solve the problem.

Honwif was originally the leader of a rock band. In 19UU, he founded Honyi Co., Ltd. at the beginning of his establishment. He was very weak and once dubbed himself as a "inch and a half-inch-long bug." He stayed up until 2019. In a singing competition called "Birth of a Star" held by the TV station, he discovered two 14-year-old junior high school girls, one named Yamaguchi Momoe and the other named Masako Momo. These two girls quickly became popular, which made Honyi Co., Ltd.'s strength soar. Since then, he has gained a foothold in the Japanese entertainment industry and has become a top agency.

There are four major characteristics of Jue Production Co., Ltd.: One is good at discovering newcomers from talent shows, one is never involved in the underworld, one is that the artist is not paid high even if he is popular, and the other is that it never abandons outdated artists, even if he is no longer popular, he will always support him.

This is a mean but not lacking in humanity, and Hove is a sympathetic tyrant.

Since this company still exists and operates well in the 21st century, it is better to take advantage of Yamaguchi Momoe's retreat and the company is weak and control it as a bridgehead to explore Japanese performing talents.

Chen Chong chatted with Kuoweif for a few words, and then went to chat with Tanaka Tomoyuki. When the two were filming "Shadow Samurai", they often communicated on the phone. Although they had only met twice, they were not unfamiliar.

In fact, he went to Toho in the afternoon and had already had a meeting with Tanaka Tomoyuki, but that was for business. In the evening, he was invited to visit Yamaguchi Momoe's concert, mainly to raise his personal relationships, and then ask him to help persuade Kurosawa Akira to go to Hong Kong to film. Tanaka Tomoyuki has worked for Toho Co., Ltd. for more than 50 years. His status in the Japanese film industry is similar to Run Run Shaw's status in Hong Kong film industry. He is an old friend of Kurosawa, and he has helped him to win. "Shen Jun first invested in Kurosawa's "Shadow Samurai" and asked Miss Yamaguchi to star in "Die Hard". I wonder if he will continue to cooperate with our Japanese art circle in the future? "Of course it will." Shen Chong looked at Kurosawa's Yoshiaki who was sitting outside and lowered his head to drink tea and said, "Die Hard" is a story that took place in Hong Kong. I plan to film another story that took place in Tokyo after a while. Mr. Kuroda, are you interested in working together?"

In the late 1970s, the Japanese entertainment industry had a popular image of a tough guy. Ken Takakura, Tomokazu Miura and others had stiff facial lines, and Fukasaki Kurada was no exception. He had no expression, but just raised his eyebrows, then supported his legs with both hands, bowed and said in Cantonese: "I am honored to be able to film for Mr. Chen."

"Okay, I will contact you in the near future and agree on schedule and contract."

The power of role models is infinite. Chinese people are best at setting examples, and Kurata Yoshiaki is the typical example of Shen Chong's desire to bet.

As early as 1970, Kurata Satoshi went to Taiwan to develop. In 2019, he went to Hong Kong to join Jiahe. With Wu Siyuan's support, he collaborated with Liang Xiaolong, Huang Yuanshen and others to make a series of kung fu movies. He was very popular in Southeast Asia and became the first Japanese action actor to become popular in Hong Kong.

The most well-known movie image of Kurada's fans is that he plays the role of Fumio Fumio, the head coach of the Black Dragon Association in the classic kung fu movie "The Hero of the Finger". At that time, he was nearly 50 years old and his skills were still agile, which was impressive.

But Chen Chong wanted to be a typical example, not because of his favorable impressions from his memories in his previous life, but because he worked hard to learn Mandarin when he arrived in Taiwan and when he arrived in Hong Kong, he worked hard to learn Cantonese when he arrived in Hong Kong. This kind of Japanese actor who actively integrates into the Chinese society is better than that

So this time, Shen Chong specially invited Kurada to come over and watch the concert with Toho and the senior executives of the Hiroshi production, to increase his value, increase his career and income significantly, and thus increase Hong Kong's attractiveness to Japanese actors.

At 8 pm, the concert officially began. Yamaguchi Momoe walked onto the stage in a long dress and became a superstar of the era. She had no fame and could not understand Japanese. However, Yamaguchi Momoe's singing could also impress him. So after the performance began, there was basically no one in the box. Even Tanaka Tomoyuki, who was nearly 70 years old, looked serious.

The concert of more than three hours came to an end without realizing it. Before the curtain call, Yamaguchi Momoe made the move that decades later and was still talked about - she raised the microphone high, bent down, and slowly placed it on the floor.

While she was doing this, a muffled sound came from the eight corners of the martial arts hall, and then countless colorful petals floated down at the concert, as if they were raining all over the sky.

"This, this, this, this?" President Rio, this is the gift I gave to Miss Yamaguchi. "Chen Chong looked up at the sky, letting the petals slide down his face, and said, "Miss Yamaguchi is like a cherry blossom, brilliant and short-lived, but now it is over the season when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, so I used eight air cannons to shoot out 100,000 roses to simulate the scene of the cherry blossoms falling."
