Chu Huan, Bao Tianming, and Liu Pingkui took Lin Feng and others on the plane to Japan.
"Where are your confidante? Why didn't they come with you?"
On the plane, Bao Tianming joked.
"Cao Yunshang is avoiding me now. Miao Kexiu has just accepted a movie and is filming and has no time. Lin Qingxia is still studying acting and has no time!"
Chu Huan leaned on the seat and preached helplessly.
After Cao Yunshang let Chu Huan escape that night, she started to avoid Chu Huan again. This time when Chu Huan told her about going to Japan, Cao Yunshang's head shook like a rattle.
Bao Tianming was stunned by Chu Huan's explanation: "When did there be another one named Lin Qingxia? Why don't I recognize her?"
"Brother Tianming, you haven't met Lin Qingxia yet?"
Liu Pingkui, who was sitting aside, said with disgust: "Let me tell you, I don't know how Brother Huan found such a beautiful girl in Taiwan. With her appearance, I think only Sister Huan can suppress her."
, other women, I’m in love!”
Bao Tianming was also a little confused by Liu Pingkui's exaggerated description, and said: "Is she really that beautiful?"
Liu Pingkui said with certainty: "Get rid of the doubt, she is really so beautiful!"
After finishing speaking, Liu Pingkui also looked at Chu Huan with some curiosity: "Yes, Brother Huan, when did Lin Qingxia become your woman?"
Now Chu Huan's chat with Bao Tianming and Liu Pingkui is more like a few boys discussing girls together. The content is very exciting, but except for these three people, it will never be known to outsiders.
Otherwise, it would be disrespectful...
"Not yet, but I believe it will be in the future!"
Chu Huan, Liu Pingkui and Bao Tianming were always very casual when they were together.
Liu Pingkui and Bao Tianming looked at each other, then extended their thumbs to Chu Huan and said in admiration: "You are cruel!"
"Just so so!" Chu Huan pretended to be modest.
"So, Brother Huan, the story you told me was also about praising Lin Qingxia?" Liu Pingkui asked another question.
When Chu Huan saw Liu Pingkui in the black and white video last night, Chu Huan suddenly had another thought.
The story of "Happy Ghost" is not a complicated story, and even making it into a movie is not a difficult task, so after meeting Liu Pingkui, Chu Huan decided to let Liu Pingkui practice on this movie.
A new director and new actors can basically find a school to shoot most of the scenes. The shooting cost of this movie in this era is only 200,000 to 300,000 yuan.
It can be used by newcomers in the company to practice.
As for whether this classic series will be ruined, if Chu Huan can bring Lin Qingxia, who is not famous in Taiwan, to Hong Kong, will he still worry about the "Happy Ghost" series being ruined?
After Chu Huan told Liu Pingkui about this matter, Liu Pingkui immediately shouted that he would come to Japan with Chu Huan and that the script of this story must be produced as soon as possible.
"You'd better think carefully about how to write the script of this story after getting off the plane!" Chu Huan said to Liu Pingkui.
"Why rush to write the script? You have told me the complete story. Writing the script is not a matter of minutes?" Liu Pingkui said proudly: "I have already discussed it with Brother Tianming. We will wait until we get off the plane.
Let the two of you go shopping in Kabukicho Ichiban Street and relax your little brother first."
Although Chu Huan did not go to Japan for Japan's special industries, he still knew a little about Japan's special industries. For example, what Liu Pingkui just said was Kabukicho Ichiban Street, which is the most famous red light district in Tokyo.
Chu Huan looked at Bao Tianming and Liu Pingkui with proud smiles, and said disdainfully: "It's just the two of you, be careful, you haven't even started yet, you just sprayed!"
"Who are you talking about!" Liu Pingkui suddenly became angry.
"Haha, I will talk to anyone who speaks loudly!" Chu Huan said proudly.
"Chu Huan, don't think that just because you are my boss now, you can slander me. Believe it or not, I will beat you to pieces even after getting off the plane!?" For the sake of his dignity as a man, Liu Pingkui also fought hard.
Chu Huan's smile became brighter and brighter, and he said: "Okay, but if you want to fight me, you have to knock Lin Feng and the others down first!"
"Hey, Brother Huan, you're kidding, you're kidding, we are two brothers, how can I fight with you? From now on, I will run wherever you point me, without any hesitation!"
"You bitch!" Bao Tianming said calmly.
"Bao Tianming, don't be too arrogant. I can't beat Lin Feng and the others. I still...Brother Tianming, my dear Brother Tianming, don't be angry. I just like to joke. It's not like you don't know.
We have been good brothers for a lifetime, and my admiration for you is like a torrent of water that never ceases, or like the Yellow River that overflows out of control!"
Amidst the commotion, Chu Huan and others arrived in Tokyo, Japan!
Leaving the airport, taking a taxi, and going to the hotel were already familiar to Chu Huan and others.
...
Fujimidai, Nerima-ku, Tokyo, Insect Production Co., Ltd.!
Speaking of the Japanese animation industry, there is one person who has to be mentioned, this person is called Osamu Tezuka.
In Japan, Osamu Tezuka is known as the God of Comics. The collective memory of those born in the 1980s, "Astro Boy", was produced by Osamu Tezuka's Mushi Production Co., Ltd., and this cartoon is also a Japanese cartoon.
The first TV animation!
At his peak, Osamu Tezuka wrote 13 comic series at the same time, and he was even more of a tentacle monster than a tentacle monster!
In addition, "The Sapphire Prince", recognized as the world's first girls' story comic, is also his work.
But the Insect Production Co., Ltd. founded by such a legendary figure is facing the risk of bankruptcy.
It can be seen that talented people are not necessarily suitable for business.
The reason why Mushi Production Co., Ltd. closed down was actually because of Osamu Tezuka.
In the early days of Osamu Tezuka, Osamu Tezuka proposed the concept of "limited animation" created in North America in order to quickly establish a foothold in Japan.
The production cost was successfully reduced by repeatedly using transformation, fusion and other shots to fill the time, as well as using a large number of short shots to switch between medium and close shots to avoid excessive action expressions.
That is what later generations will call water!
Later generations of Japanese animation basically learned from him.
The reason why Osamu Tezuka did this was to reduce the production cost of "Astro Boy".
At that time, for a 90-minute feature film animation, the budget for 30 minutes of animation was as high as about 30 million yen, and it took 100 people six months to complete.
This kind of production cost and production cycle was simply unrealistic for TV animation that needed to broadcast one episode every week at that time.
Therefore, Osamu Tezuka played tricks, not only adding water to each episode to reduce production costs, but also created the concept of "rotation system".
In order to cope with the almost impossible schedule requirement of producing an episode of "Astro Boy" every week, a team of five people was established, and these five people took turns serving as the screenwriter, storyboard, original painting, and animation of one episode.
Inspection, photography, recording and other work, including test screenings for sponsors!
In this way, you can easily ensure that you can deliver an entire episode every week.
This system was preserved until the era when Chu Huan was reborn.
Such a situation allowed Mushi Production Co., Ltd. to gain huge profits in the early stage. However, it was precisely because of this production that many people attached to Tezuka Osamu-style animations such as rough production, sloppy coloring, and cutting corners in storyboards.
crime.
The successful Osamu Tezuka began to be dissatisfied with this kind of comments, but Osamu Tezuka did not work hard on the picture, but was preparing to create a more meaningful story comic, so he began to create a more meaningful animated CR trilogy "
"The Tale of a Thousand Nights", "Cleopatra" and "Bella Turner of Sorrow".
It's a pity that the ideas of this trilogy are too avant-garde and are not liked by modern people at all.
For the Producer Trilogy, Osamu Tezuka's Mushi Production Co., Ltd. was divided between the Japanese animation industry and Toei Animation, and became a company heavily in debt.
If nothing unexpected happens, the company will go bankrupt next year and trigger a series of copyright disputes.
In addition, in fact, at this time, Osamu Tezuka had discovered the company's problems and established a Tezuka Production Company.
Danmu Production Co., Ltd. is still Osamu Tezuka's company.
"Boss, this is my resignation, please approve it!"
Today Osamu Tezuka came to Mushi Production Co., Ltd. because two generals here are resigning.
Akio Sugino, Mitsuo Dezaki!
These two people can be called Osamu Tezuka's right-hand men. They were involved in all of Osamu Tezuka's early animations.
Osamu Tezuka was deeply shocked when he received the resignations from these two people. At this time, looking at the resignations they handed over, Osamu Tezuka wanted to try to retain him.
"Sugino-kun, Dezaki-kun, I remember that when Insect Production Co., Ltd. was first established, you two had already joined. Now the company has encountered some problems, but I believe these problems will be solved sooner or later. Now "Sorrow"
The production of "Bella Turner" is nearing completion. The company needs you, and I need you too, please!"
Osamu Tezuka preached to the two of them seriously.
Akio Sugino looked hesitant, but then became determined: "Mr. Tezuka, thank you very much for your cultivation over the years, but now the company's development is no longer in line with our ideals. Please forgive us for saying goodbye."
!”
"Hi!" Dezaki echoed.
Osamu Tezuka tried to persuade him to stay, but Akio Sugino and Tsutomu Dezaki were obviously determined to leave. No matter how Osamu Tezuka tried to persuade them, they were determined to leave.
Seeing that he could not stay, Tezuka Osamu had to make another request, "In this case, I will not force you to stay, but I hope you can leave later. The current "Sad Bella Turner" cannot do without you.
, please again!”
Akio Sugino and Tsutomu Dezaki looked at each other and after a silent exchange, it was Akio Sugino who still said: "Well, we also hope that we can do our last contribution to insect production!"
After receiving an agreed answer from both of them, Osamu Tezuka finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Thank you!"
After Akio Sugino and Tsumugi Dezaki walked out of the office, Osamu Tezuka sat on his chair and let out a sigh of relief, followed by endless exhaustion.
For him, if he can, he really doesn't want to give up Chong Production Co., Ltd., a company that has accompanied him through glory days.
But now the company is heavily in debt, and even Tezuka Osamu himself has lost all the money he made before because of this. During this period of time, Tezuka Osamu, who was in embarrassment, even had to rely on the help of friends to survive.
This was actually a huge blow to the proud Osamu Tezuka.
Just as Osamu Tezuka was cheering himself up, his secretary walked in.
"Mr. Tezuka, the boss of Xiangjiang Film Company is here and hopes to meet you!"
Osamu Tezuka was slightly startled, "Are you from Xiangjiang?"
"Yes!"
I don’t have many friends in Xiangjiang, let alone the boss of a film company.
Thinking of his situation during this period, although Tezuka Osamu didn't want to see anyone else, he thought about it and still spoke to his secretary.
"Please come in!"
After a while, Chu Huan followed Osamu Tezuka's secretary to Osamu Tezuka's office and saw Osamu Tezuka wearing a beret and glasses.
The one who came to visit Osamu Tezuka was naturally Chu Huan. Of course, there was also a translator beside Chu Huan, who Chu Huan found temporarily at the hotel this morning.
Since Chu Huan is determined to be in the animation industry, in this era, Osamu Tezuka is definitely a person who cannot be avoided. Moreover, Chu Huan had already inquired before coming here and knew that the current operating conditions of Osamu Productions are not very good. If possible,
If so, Chu Huan also wanted to see how the other party failed.
That's right, Chu Huan had never thought about packing up Osamu Tezuka and taking him back to Xiangjiang. This was an unrealistic thing.
First of all, even if Mushi Production goes bankrupt, Osamu Tezuka can easily make a comeback by relying on his position in the Japanese animation industry.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is basically impossible to bring such a person back to Xiangjiang.
In addition, what Chu Huan really needs are tool people, cartoonists who have not yet become famous. These people are not famous, so naturally they cannot have too high requirements in terms of salary.
Only in this way can it be in line with Chu Huan's plan for the animation industry.
And in Chu Huan's mind, these Japanese cartoonists are just a transition. Before the 1980s, animation companies can use them to conquer the world. When the 1980s enter, Chu Huan can go to China to find talents.
, and then use these Japanese cartoonists to guide them for two years.
By then, these Japanese cartoonists have basically become truly famous cartoonists. When they want to seek treatment from Chu Huan again, Chu Huan can also stage a happy get-together with them.
picture.
"Hello Mr. Tezuka, please forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting!"
Chu Huan noticed a trace of sadness in Tezuka Osamu's eyes.
It seems that the situation of insect production is already very bad.
But he came here just to see the other party go bankrupt, and those talents produced by Chong were what Chu Huan wanted most.
"Who is your Excellency?"
Osamu Tezuka stood up and asked Chu Huan.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. Chu Huan from Xiangjiang Black and White Film Company came to Tokyo yesterday and came specifically to visit Mr. Tezuka."
Chu Huan introduced himself, and then the translator conveyed the message to Osamu Tezuka.
Osamu Tezuka was not very familiar with the film industry in Hong Kong. He only knew about Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, so after hearing Chu Huan's self-introduction, he showed a look of confusion.
But then he still said politely: "I have admired you for a long time, please sit down!"
Seeing Tezuka Osamu's expression, Chu Huan knew that the other party must have never heard of his name, so he continued to speak.
"Just this month, the box office of our company's movie "The Big Boss" will surpass Li Xiaolong's movie "Fist of Fury" and become the box office champion in Hong Kong!"
It's only a week before "The Big Boss" is released, but that doesn't stop Mrs. Chu Huan from selling her melons. Anyway, the box office performance of "The Big Boss" is now very good, and it is definitely possible to break the record of "Fist of Fury"
.
It wouldn’t be a lie to say it first!
Osamu Tezuka didn't know black and white images, but he knew Li Xiaolong.
Speaking of which, Japan is a very interesting country. It worships the strong without any bottom line. Everyone knows what the story of Li Xiaolong's movie "Fist of Fury" is about.
But just such a movie can achieve very high box office in Japan.
Osamu Tezuka couldn't help but look surprised. A film produced by a film company in Hong Kong that he had never heard of could actually beat the box office of Li Xiaolong's "Fist of Fury".
No matter where you are, results are the last word. After Tezuka Osamu heard the results of the black and white video, his attitude towards Chu Huan became more and more polite.
"I wonder why Mr. Chu came here this time?"
In fact, I just want to see when your place will close down, and then go back to dig machines... Chu Huan said with a smile: "I'm a little embarrassed to say it, but I am actually a fan of Mr. Tezuka's books. I came to Tokyo on a business trip this time.
I just wanted to pay a visit to Mr. Tezuka, and then take a look at the production of the Holy Land Worm in my mind!"
Chu Huan's words were very helpful to Tezuka Osamu. Of course, if Chu Huan was just an ordinary person, Tezuka Osamu would just smile and not have any big psychological fluctuations.
But Chu Huan is different. Chu Huan has just stated a situation. Chu Huan is now the boss of a film company in Hong Kong. If what Chu Huan said is true, then Chu Huan's net worth should have exceeded 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
Although many people say it’s about money!
But when a multimillionaire and a homeless man say the same words, they have different feelings in people's ears.
"Mr. Chu is too polite, we at Chongchuang are not worthy of it." Tezuka Osamu said modestly.
After such a good start, the subsequent communication between the two seemed to be much more enjoyable.
Finally, Chu Huan proposed an idea that Tezuka Osamu felt was a little surprised, but he did not reject it.
"Mr. Tezuka, I have always loved comics. I have been in Tokyo these days, so if possible, I would like to come to Insect Production every day to learn and see how everyone creates the comics we like!"
The reason why Tezuka Osamu didn't refuse was mainly because Chu Huan's youthful appearance was too deceptive. He was less than twenty years old, which is the age when he is most interested in new things, and comics had just started to emerge in Hong Kong not long ago.
.
At this time, in the eyes of Osamu Tezuka, Chu Huan was not only the boss of a film company, but also no different from young people in Japan today.
"Actually, comic creation is a very boring process. If Mr. Chu doesn't find it boring, it will be fine!"
Anyway, it’s almost impossible to continue making insects now, so let’s just think of it as satisfying the original intention of a comic fan!
Chu Huan immediately expressed his gratitude to Tezuka Osamu.
With these few days of observation, Chu Huan can know in detail the creative process inside Chong Production. At the same time, he can also observe the people of Chong Production during this period, so that he can better find himself.
goal.
Later, Tezuka Osamu said that he was also busy with a lot of work and would definitely not be able to accompany him throughout the whole process, so he left the matter to his secretary.
Natsuyo Misumi is a typical Japanese woman, not very tall and looks delicate and weak.
Natsuyo Misumi bowed and said, "Mr. Chu, you're welcome!"
Finally, Chu Huan invited Tezuka Osamu to have dinner together in the evening. Tezuka Osamu said that he still had a lot of work to finish and he was really sorry for today. However, Tezuka Osamu also said that he would definitely do it before Chu Huan and others returned to Xiangjiang.
Treat Chu Huan seriously once!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Both parties shook hands and said goodbye!
Chu Huan left Chong Production and returned to the hotel.
"The three of them haven't come back yet?"
When Chu Huan returned to the hotel, he found that Bao Tianming, Liu Pingkui, and Qin Peng had not returned yet!
They arrived in Tokyo yesterday. That night, Bao Tianming and Liu Pingkui clamored for Kabukicho. Chu Huan was worried about them and asked Qin Peng to follow them.
As a result, the three of them had not come back this morning. Chu Huan thought that as a man, you always have to have fun when you go out to play. After working hard in the evening, you must sleep a little more during the day.
So I didn't worry too much, and went to Osamu Tezuka's Insect Production, but I didn't expect that now that I was back, the three of them hadn't come back yet.
"Master Huan, could something have happened? Even if Tianming and Pingkui overslept, Qin Peng should have called back?"
Lin Feng said with some worry.
Chu Huan was also a little worried at this time, "Even if Qin Peng wants to make a phone call, he has to know Japanese. Among the three of them, Liu Pingkui is the only one who can speak a few words and one sentence. If I had known, I should have found a translator for them!"
"
Lin Feng was also speechless for a while. When the three of them left before, he didn't think much about it, but now that they can't be contacted, he inevitably started to feel anxious.
"This kid Qin Peng didn't expect that he would forget everything he did as soon as he came out. I will deal with him well when he comes back!"
Lin Feng preached angrily.
In Lin Feng's opinion, Bao Tianming and Liu Pingkui might get carried away when they go out to play, but Qin Peng shouldn't. But now there is no call from Qin Peng, which makes Lin Feng very dissatisfied.
"Don't be angry. Although Qin Peng usually talks a lot, he is still very careful in doing things. I believe that with him here, there will be no problems!"
Out of his understanding of Bao Tianming and Liu Pingkui, Chu Huan believed that the fundamental reason why they had not come back yet was because of the two of them, not Qin Peng.
Just as Chu Huan finished speaking, the phone in the suite rang.
Lin Feng said angrily: "It should be that boy Qin Peng!"
After saying that, he came to the phone and picked up the phone, "Qin Peng, do you still know how to call back..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Feng was confused by a series of Japanese words.
Then he looked awkwardly at the translator Chu Huan had found.
The other party took the call with a suppressed smile, and after a few hellos, hung up the phone with a weird expression.
"Mr. Chu, we just called from the police station. Several of your friends are at the police station now. I hope you can come over!"
Chu Huan, Lin Feng and others were confused when they heard this. Chu Huan reacted and asked: "Did the other party say why they were at the police station?"
The translator said: "No, I just said it's not a big problem. You'll know when you go there."
Since it was not a big problem, there was no need to find a lawyer. Chu Huan decided to go to the police station first and decide whether to find a lawyer after knowing the specific matter.
So Chu Huan and others, led by the secretary, quickly arrived at the police station where Bao Tianming and the other three were detained.
Then Chu Huan and the others found out what happened.
According to the police, it was not a big deal, they just had a fight with someone and they could leave after paying a sum of money.
Since it was so happy, Chu Huan naturally didn't need to call the lawyer. After paying the money, he rescued Bao Tianming and the others.
"Three of you, let's talk about it. Did you go to Kabukicho to be cool or to fight? Is it possible that you also played seduction, got carried away, and came to other people's places for excitement?"
Chu Huan walked out of the police station and spoke to Bao Tianming and the other three, who were frowning and frowning.
Bao Tianming immediately pointed at Liu Pingkui and said: "This matter is all Kui Zai's fault. If he hadn't been urging me, would I have gone to the wrong place?"
When Liu Pingkui heard that Bao Tianming was talking about himself, he immediately pointed at Qin Peng: "This is all Qin Peng's fault. If he hadn't done it first, we wouldn't have been able to get in."
Qin Peng quit: "Can you blame me? Tian Mingzi said it himself. He doesn't know much about this place, so he just asked us to follow him. Who knew he took us to a dark shop?"
"Stop, stop, stop!" Chu Huan said impatiently: "You three, don't argue here, why don't you hurry up and tell us what's going on?"
Then the three of them looked coy, and no one wanted to speak first. In the end, Lin Feng asked Qin Peng to tell the whole thing.
It turns out that last night after Bao Tianming and the other two went to Kabukicho, they were blinded by the long legs of various heights in front of them.
At that time, Liu Pingkui excitedly asked Bao Tianming, who claimed to be extremely familiar with this place and had made guides about it, which one they should go to?
But in fact, Bao Tianming was very familiar with this place, and it was all a boast.
But now I can't admit it, wouldn't it be too shameful?
So I said I would take a walk first and not be in a hurry.
Liu Pingkui's second brother was about to start a rebellion at this time, so why would he want to hang out with Bao Tianming?
So after being urged, Bao Tianming randomly took two people into a custom shop, and the result...
The other party turned out to be a black shop and did not provide the kind of services they wanted. This made Bao Tianming and Liu Pingkui very unhappy, and they started to quarrel.
Cantonese versus Japanese is just a chicken-and-duck conversation!
Then Qin Peng heard their birdsong, couldn't hold back, and took action...
