229 [Elegant Butterfly]
After translating Shiro Higashima's translation, Ye Jin understood what these Japanese reporters were asking.
"Ye Sang, he wanted to ask you if it was your first time to come to Japan, and what was the feeling of coming here?" Shiro Higashima recounted.
Ye Jin thought for a moment, then nodded, "Tell him that I have visited Japan before. I think this place is very beautiful, prosperous, and strong, and the people are also very enthusiastic."
Hearing Ye Jin's praise, the reporter nodded with satisfaction.
"Ye Sang, he would like to ask you, who has better martial arts skills than Bruce Lee?" Shiro Higashima reposted again.
This year, the Japanese film industry can almost be called the Year of Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee's three movies "The Brother Tangshan", "The King of War" and "The Dragon and the Tiger" were released in Japan, and have achieved quite good results.
All three movies ranked among the top ten in the annual box office rankings, among which "Dragon and Tiger Fight" ranked second, achieving a box office of 2.7 billion yen.
These three movies also made Bruce Lee powerful in Japan, making him very popular in Japan. Many movie fans regard him as the [God of Kung Fu] and believe that he is more powerful than the master of martial arts in Japan.
"We have never really competed, so I can't say who has better martial arts skills." Ye Jin smiled slightly, "But Mr. Bruce Lee is a senior and a person I respect very much."
He did not say clearly who had better martial arts skills, which made the reporter feel a little unwilling.
There is no first in literature, no second in martial arts. If you strive to be the first, you will be more topical.
"Ye Sang, he wants to ask you, is it true that you had a car accident a few days ago?" Shiro Higashima reposted again.
When Ye Jin heard this, he was quite surprised, "They also know about this news?"
"Ye Sang, the information is developed now. Even if it is news from America, we can receive it as soon as possible, let alone the Xiangjiang River with a bunch of water." Shiro Higashima said with a smile.
Ye Jin nodded.
Later he learned that Xiangjiang is the most densely populated city in the world, with more than 100 newspapers, more than 700 magazines and more than 90 international news agencies.
Any valuable news that happens here will be spread as soon as possible.
Ye Jin is the most popular star in Xiangjiang and is famous in East Asia. So as soon as the news of his [Evil Crashing] car accident occurred, he was immediately edited and edited by these international news agencies and sold to all parts of East Asia.
Therefore, even Japanese people received the news as soon as possible.
"Yes, that's true." Ye Jin nodded and said.
Seeing that such an incredible incident really happened to him, the reporter couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.
...
After receiving a visit at the airport, Ye Jin and Chen Ziqiang and Shiro Toshima left the airport by car and went to Toei Company together.
After an hour and a half drive, the three of them arrived at Toei Co., Ltd. in Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo.
"Tokyo is really prosperous." Chen Ziqiang said with a smile.
Ye Jin nodded too.
Although Hong Kong is known as the [Pearl of the East], it has a developed economy and is prosperous, and is more prosperous than Taipei, Bangkok, Star Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and other places, it is still worse than Tokyo.
Skyscrapers are scattered here, with hundreds of meters high buildings everywhere, and cars flowing on the roads are much denser than in Xiangjiang.
It’s no wonder. The per capita GDP of Hong Kong in 1973 was US$1,800, while the per capita GDP of Tokyo was as high as US$6,500, which is more than three times that of Hong Kong.
This also made Ye Jin more interested in entering the Japanese market.
Without long sighing, the two were taken by Shiro Higashima and took the elevator to the seventh floor of the building.
Although Toei is one of the largest film companies in Japan, its company is actually not big, with only 400 employees in total. Compared with Xiao, Jiahe is far different in scale.
However, this also shows that the Japanese film industry is developing. Many industries such as actors, photography, lighting, props, etc. have been subdivided and can survive independently without relying on production companies.
Unlike Xiangjiang, the film industry is still very backward in development. If you don’t rely on a large film company, you will have almost no way to survive.
...
Under the leadership of Shiro Higashima, Ye Jin and Chen Ziqiang came to General Manager Toei's office.
"Kashiyama, I have received Ye Sang. This is his agent Chen Sang." Shiro Higashima introduced, "Ye Sang, this is our general manager Nobuo Hashiyama."
"Ye Sang, welcome!" Nobuo Hatoyama took the initiative to greet him from behind the desk, "Thank you all the way."
As the head of one of the five major Japanese film companies, ordinary artists will naturally not be taken seriously by him.
But Ye Jin is different. His movies are now very popular, with 900 million yen, which is a great achievement that exceeds most Japanese local artists, so they can win their own respect.
"Thank you Mr. Hatoyama." Ye Jin nodded.
After a while of greeting, Nobuo Hatoyama asked Shiro Higashima to take Ye Jin, and Chen Ziqiang to rest in the hotel and help them to welcome them in the evening.
Ye Jin's visit to Japan this time will help improve box office performance and allow Toei Company to make more money, so their distinguished guests cannot be neglected.
Ye Jin naturally would not refuse Nobuo Hatoyama's kindness and accepted it happily.
...
Ye Jin and Chen Ziqiang were then arranged to stay in a star-rated hotel.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Nobuo Hatoyama specially held a banquet at a famous restaurant, Ye Jin and Chen Ziqiang.
"Ye Sang, please give me the promotion of the movie this time." He said with a smile, then placed a box on the table. When he opened it, he saw that it was full of piles of yen, which was roughly 20 million, which was about 500,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Ye Jin nodded.
It is never a waste of time for celebrities to promote movies. After all, planes, hotels, and installations cost money, especially the time for celebrities is more precious, so the publisher or producer often has to pay a considerable amount of publicity.
And 500,000 Hong Kong dollars is actually not a big deal for Ye Jin.
After all, he now attends commercial ribbon cutting and other activities, and charges 100,000 Hong Kong dollars at a time. This time, he will have to run for three days, which is much more tiring than cutting ribbons.
"Don't worry, Mr. Hatoyama, I will work hard." Ye Jin smiled.
In order to increase his popularity in Japan, he is willing to promote it, so he will naturally be even happier if he has money.
"Thank you, come and toast!" Nobuo Hatoyama smiled.
Just as the guests and hosts were having fun, they heard someone next door calling "Yafen Butterfly!"
It is a woman's voice. The tone of resistance and reluctance is very strong, and it is not the desire to refuse in those small movies.
Everyone was stunned.
"Don't worry about them, come, please!" Nobuo Hatoyama said unsurprisingly.
Ye Jin was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
He is not the Holy Father, and he can't control so much.
At this moment, I heard the female voice shouting again, "No! Help!"
Hearing this voice, Ye Jin and Chen Ziqiang both stood up.
If it was a Japanese woman, they would not care. But now the Chinese are bullied, and as long as they are still passionate men, they cannot ignore it.
