Porcelain to Porcelain

During the trip to Japan, Lu Qiu brought a total of five people with him, namely manager Wang Gui, Secretary You, and assistant Xiao Zhang, who was also Secretary You's boyfriend.The other two are the company's security guards for Lu Qiu.

"Farewell My Concubine" is very popular among Japanese movie fans, and Lu Qiu is more popular in Japan than in China.In case the fans are too enthusiastic to cause accidents, bodyguards are a must.

In this space and time period, the Japanese prime minister is relatively pro-China, and the non-governmental relations between the Chinese and Japanese governments are not bad.However, this situation will not last long. There are too many overlaps in the industries of the two countries. The more China rises, the more intensified the industrial conflicts. Coupled with historical factors and other factors, the relationship between the two countries will deteriorate sooner or later.

The name of the publisher who bought out the distribution rights of "Farewell My Concubine" in Japan is Yamaguchi Zhihei.Short and ordinary-looking, his eyes are contrary to his appearance, quite vicious. The box office of "Farewell My Concubine" in Japan far exceeds that of European and American blockbusters. Yamaguchi's persistence in Cannes was rewarded and he made a lot of money.

The interactive meeting between Lu Qiu and movie fans was organized by the Yamaguchi organization.

Lu Qiu and his party of six arrived at Tokyo Airport at noon, and Yamaguchi took his staff to the airport to greet them in person.There are thousands of movie fans who came to welcome them together.

Japanese movie fans are more enthusiastic and crazier than those in China, but Yamaguchi organized well and sent more than a dozen security guards to clear the way for Lu Qiu, and delivered Lu Qiu to the hotel where he was staying smoothly.

In the afternoon, Lu Qiu held a small press conference.In the evening, Lu Qiu told Yamaguchi in advance whether to arrange activities, and he had already made an appointment for dinner with Zach Job.

Zach arrived in Japan two days earlier than Lu Qiu, and the scheduled promotional activities ended in the afternoon. In order to meet Lu Qiu, he did not return to the United States that day.

When you come to Japan, of course you must eat Japanese specialties.The reserved private room can have a panoramic view of the night view, and the special chef will cook for the guests on the spot.

Zach and Lu Qiu sat face to face, tasting and admiring the chef's craftsmanship.

Zac's facial features are as perfect as a sculpture, and his body proportions are excellent. Looking at him closely, except for slightly thicker pores, he can't find any flaws.

In addition to the excellent appearance, Zach's acting skills are also very good, with two points, as long as the emotional intelligence is not low, in Hollywood, sooner or later he will be the best actor.

"Qiu! I haven't seen you in half a year, you are becoming more and more attractive!" Zach's blue eyes are tender and tender, staring at them for a long time will make people drown.

"Zack! Each other!"

Zac's blue eyes were too electric. If Lu Qiu had a little heart, he would have fallen under Zac's trousers.

Zach's eyes dimmed slightly. "Qiu, are you free tomorrow?" If Lu Qiu is free, Zach is willing to postpone going back for a day and travel to Tokyo with Lu Qiu.

Lu Qiu shook his head: "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are fully scheduled."

Zach shrugged regretfully.

"Is the publicity effect of "Dream of Paradise" good?"

"It's okay, but it's not as good as Qiu's "Farewell My Concubine""

Due to cultural differences between the East and the West, Japanese movie fans prefer "Farewell My Concubine".In Europe and the United States, "Paradise Dreams" grossed slightly more than "Farewell My Concubine."

"Zach, when will the new film be finished?"

"It will be finished at the beginning of next month." Zach went to Hollywood to shoot a spy movie called "Mist of Spy Shadow", in which Zach played the leading role.

"The Bourne Shadow" started two months earlier than "The Ghost".

"When will you come to Asia to promote your new film?"

"Not necessarily. Japan and Hong Kong will be released at the same time as Europe and the United States. Asia may not have time to come and promote it."

Compared with the large European and American film markets, the Asian film market is a bit weak, and the four Asian tigers account for more than half of the proportion.Foreign films go to Asia for promotion, basically in Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.

Lu Qiu was a little depressed. For filmmakers, the market has always been the one to talk. Wherever it is important, the focus is there.The Chinese film market has attracted Hollywood's attention, and it will have to wait at least ten years.

Zach mistakenly thought that Lu Qiu's depression was that he could not come to Asia.

""The Bourne Shadow" will be released in November, and then I will try to spare time to go to Hong Kong." At this time, the box office of a single city in Hong Kong is comparable to that of the entire mainland.

When Zac spoke, his blue eyes fired fiercely at Lu Qiu again, which meant that during the promotion period in Hong Kong, the two could meet again.

Lu Qiu's scalp tingled, and he quickly changed the subject: "Zach, after filming "The Spy Shadow", what kind of movie are you going to make next?"

Zach threw his head back and sighed. "George helped me take over a sci-fi film. The plan was to launch it in September. Unexpectedly, the largest investor suddenly withdrew the investment and couldn't find another investor to take over the film. The film might not be able to be made."

George is Zach's agent. Originally, after "The Bourne Mist" was finished, the sci-fi movie just happened to follow.A week ago, investors suddenly withdrew their funds. The sci-fi movie urgently needs to find another investor. If it cannot be found, the movie will either be postponed or aborted.If the extension time is too long, Zach can't afford to wait, so he can only cancel the contract.

"So, after "The Spy Shadow" was finished, you didn't arrange filming?" Lu Qiu's eyes lit up.

Zach smiled, his blue eyes bent: "No, maybe, just have more time for me to come to China to see autumn."

The divestment of sci-fi movies disrupted Zac's work plan for the second half of the year.

"Zach, I have a sci-fi movie, I don't know if you are interested."

Zach raised his eyebrows: "?"

"I wrote it, a science fiction film about mummies."

"Mummy? Isn't it a beautiful dan (corner)? How can the two be connected?" Zach was surprised. In his impression, Lu Qiu was Cheng Dieyi.Cheng Dieyi in Yuji's appearance is beautiful and mysterious.Lu Qiu is also beautiful and mysterious.The scary and ugly mummy and Cheng Dieyi are not in the same world.

"This movie has nothing to do with Chinese opera at all." Lu Qiu pinched his nose, and when "Farewell My Concubine" became popular, he knew that people would associate Cheng Dieyi's image with the actor. "This is a general introduction to the plot of "The Mummy". You can read it first, and then let me know if you are interested."

Lu Qiu handed Zach the brief introduction to the story that he had typed out in English last night.

There are not many introductions, only two pieces of paper.

After the filming of "The Love Between Humans and Ghosts" started, Lu Qiu was thinking about his next movie.

In addition to "Farewell My Concubine", the novels written by Lu Qiu under the pseudonym of Shen Qiu are "The Love Between Humans and Ghosts Is Unbroken".Both novels have been adapted into screenplays, one has become a hit movie, and the other is about to be finalized.

Both of these novels belong to the category of literature and art, and the pseudonym Late Autumn is also made public.Jin Daxia, whose pseudonym has not been made public, specializes in martial arts. His completed novels include the novella "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and the novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

The million-word "Legend of the Condor Heroes" killed Lu Qiukeng. After filming, he devoted all his energy to writing "Shooting the Condor".Mr. Jin’s writing skills are quite profound. Lu Qiu, who graduated from a key university majoring in liberal arts, plus eight years of experience in writing, spent a year and two months from the beginning of last year to mid-June this year, and finally wrote "Shooting Carving" copycat finished.

The counterfeit version of "Shooting the Condors" tries to be as close as possible to Mr. Jin's writing style. If this novel is compared with the original in the previous life, readers will definitely scold Lu Qiuzhao for drawing cats.

But there is no Mr. Jin in this space, and there is no harm without comparison.

After "Shooting the Condor" was published in "Xiafeng", "Xiafeng" magazine supplemented it every month. In one month, the number of supplements was conservative, and it was once sold out.

After "Sculpture of God" became popular, readers and the industry were curious about the author Jin Daxia.The styles of the two types of novels are too different, Lu Qiu is unavoidably suspicious, and does not intend to disclose the true identity of Jin Daxia.

Jin Daxia registered with Lu Chunhua's ID card.In order to protect Lu Qiu's privacy, Zhou Hongxun specially took care that neither the paper media nor the computer had any information about Lu Qiu's family situation.Few people outside know that Lu Qiu's real name is Lu Qiusheng, so no one connects Lu Chunhua with Lu Qiu.

The editor in charge of "Shooting the Condor" knew the real name of the author Jin Daxia, but he couldn't think of Lu Qiu.Furthermore, when Lu Qiu signed a contract with "Xiafeng", "Xiafeng" magazine kept Jin Daxia's identity information confidential, and all information disclosed to the outside must be approved by the author before publishing.

Currently, the profile of the author of "Shooting the Condors" only has gender and age.The gender is male, and the age is Lu Chunhua's age.

People who have read "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Shooting the Condor", no one thinks that Jin Daxia is a woman.The editor of "Xiafeng" who has read the registered ID card of Jin Daxia is also the same. Based on the style of the novel, the editor does not think that the registered ID card is the author himself.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was originally adapted from a movie and could be remade into a movie. "Shooting the Condor" is too long, so it is only suitable for TV series.Lu Qiu originally wanted to shoot "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" after "The Love Between Ghosts" is finished.For this reason, last month, Lu Qiu bought the film and television copyright of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in the name of Huaying Company.

That's the plan, but last week, the American special effects company that Zhou Hongxun bought for Lu Qiu produced new results, especially the group effects, which can reach the level of around 2005 in the previous life.

Lu Qiu was thinking about this type of movie in his head at that time.The first thing that came to Lu Qiu's mind was the American adventure movie "The Mummy" produced by Universal Pictures in 1999 in his previous life.

The film tells that in 1920, the American explorer O'Connor was employed by the British librarian and her brother, an Egyptologist, to explore Egypt. Unfortunately, he "released" the thousand-year-old mummy into a living person, and then began a thrilling journey. trip.

.

The film was released in China two years later, and Lu Qiu's deepest memory is the densely packed scorpions. At that time, Lu Qiu, a high school student, was so frightened that his scalp numb to his heels.

Lu Qiu had some ideas, and when he heard the rumor that Zach's next movie investment was going to fail, he began to think about Zach.
