Chapter 279 Potential poaching

Cheng Hao quickly proved to Teng Rujun that she had no regrets.

The plane from Beijing to Tokyo flew for more than three hours under the blue sky.

After getting off the plane in Tokyo, Cheng was not like the other crew members of "That Man, That Mountain, That Dog" who looked around because of their curiosity about international big cities. She walked quickly, thinking only about meeting the lover she had longed for as soon as possible.

But after only two steps, she saw a sign written in Chinese to welcome the crew, and the person holding the sign was none other than the person working with Qi Wei.

She was overjoyed and walked over excitedly.

"You've been waiting for me for a long time." She walked in front of Qi Wei and asked Qi Wei with a smile on her lips, showing the shyness and reserve of a lady.

"My plane has just arrived in Tokyo, so I didn't actually have to wait long."

Before Qi Wei finished speaking, Cheng Hao had already thrown himself into Qi Wei's arms.

"Do you know how much I miss you"

The last time I met Cheng Hao was when we were filming the MV in April, almost two months ago.

Listening to Cheng Hao's crying voice, Qi Wei lowered his head and stroked her hair to comfort her: "I know, I miss you too. As soon as my Wanwan concert is over, I will come to Tokyo to meet you. You know, you also know that there is no need for me to come in such a hurry."

Qi Wei's concert was held in Wanwan last night, and there was a gap of four days before the next concert in Tokyo.

Therefore, Qi Wei can rest in Wanwan for two days before coming to the capital.

After thinking about it for a while, Cheng Hao couldn't help but look up at Qi Wei.

"Is this too hard for you?" she asked with a distressed look on her face.

"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. This hard work is nothing."

Seeing the confidence and maturity on Qi Wei's face that was far beyond his peers, Cheng Hao's mind immediately reverberated with Qi Wei's heroic appearance at the concert.

Cheng Hao was stunned for a moment.

"He seemed even more charming than before."

She thought to herself, and couldn't help but step up and raise her head to kiss Qi Wei's lips.

Soon it turned into a passionate kiss.

It took a long time for their lips to part, and Cheng Hao came back to his senses instantly, his face red to the roots of his ears.

"I'm actually with you in public, oh, I'm so embarrassed."

I don’t know if it’s true emotion or acting, but her playful appearance is really endearing.

Qi Wei couldn't help but hug her tighter, and took the initiative to drizzle water on her red lips.

"Tokyo is much more open than our country. It's nothing for us to be like this. Don't worry, not many people here know us. Our celebrity status doesn't work." Qi Wei raised his eyebrows to Cheng Hao and motioned to the surroundings.

Cheng Hao looked up and looked around, and it was indeed what Qi Wei said.

The intimacy between the two did not attract much attention from others.

"Hate, I'm not a big star like you, and not many people in China know me."

"But it won't be long before you become a big star, and more and more people in the country will know you."

"Why is this?" Cheng Hao asked, somewhat confused.

At this time, Huo Jianqi, Teng Rujun and other crew members from "That Man, That Mountain, That Dog" had already walked over.

So Qi Wei also said to them: "Do you know how much the box office of our movie is in Japan?"

"How much?" Cheng Hao asked curiously.

Qi Wei smiled and stretched out two fingers, "It has exceeded [-] million yen."

Upon hearing this box office data, director Huo Jianqi couldn't help but take a deep breath, widened his eyes and showed an expression of astonishment.

He knew very well that the box office of Director Chen's "Farewell My Concubine" in Japan seemed to be just close to 2 million yen, and had not yet exceeded it.

That was the final result of the release of "Farewell My Concubine".

Moreover, Zhang Guorong, one of the starring actors in "Farewell My Concubine", is very well-known in Japan because of movies such as "A Better Tomorrow" and "A Chinese Ghost Story". Many Japanese audiences went to watch "Farewell My Concubine" because of him.

As for my film "That Man, That Mountain, That Dog", the most well-known is Qi Wei. It is okay in China, but in Japan it is probably far less popular than Leslie Cheung in terms of box office appeal.

More importantly, "That Man, That Mountain, That Dog" was only released in Japan for a week, and three of those days were small-scale screenings, which is still very early before the release.

"That Man, That Mountain, That Dog" has now earned over [-] million yen at the box office. How much will it earn when it is released?
Huo Jianqi found it hard to imagine.

"How much is the box office of [-] million?" Cheng Hao asked. She felt that this number was very high, but she didn't know the specific number.

"If converted, it's almost 1000 million."

"1000 million? Haha, I didn't expect the box office of my first movie to exceed [-] million." This was something Cheng Hao didn't expect, and she was immediately happy.

"This is enough for you. You can only achieve this."

Qi Wei smiled and gently shaved Cheng Hao's face, and then said to everyone: "Our movie has received surprisingly good response in the market here. According to the survey of the distributor here, if nothing unexpected happens, our movie will This movie will achieve a box office of over 8 million when it is released, which is still the most conservative estimate."

"8 million yen? 4000 million?" Cheng Hao was stunned.

"Yes, a box office of 4000 million yuan." Qi Wei smiled and nodded.

Hearing this result, even Teng Rujun, who has never cared much about box office, was a little moved.

Director Huo Jianqi even made a swear word.

"Holy shit, what the hell did I film."

Director Huo Jianqi still hasn't figured out why his movie is so popular in Japan.

You must know that in China, neither investors nor filmmakers have much confidence in artistic films of this kind. It was because they couldn't get investment that they found Qi Wei.

I originally thought I had found someone to take advantage of, but I didn’t expect that I was the one being taken advantage of.

Thinking of this, Director Huo Jianqi couldn't help but laugh.

In any case, it is definitely a good thing that "That Man, That Mountain, That Dog" has a high box office. Qi Wei has made money. With his always generous style, he might even give some bonuses to his crew members.

And with this resume, it will be easier to attract investment for future movies.

At this time, he heard Qi Wei say to everyone: "This time everyone is coming to Japan to promote our movie. I hope that during this week, everyone will pay attention to the balance between work and rest after work, and don't give yourself too much. If you feel the pressure, just treat it as a trip, you can bring back some local specialties, and I will reimburse you for the expenses.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately understood that Qi Wei was talking about merit and rewards, and a burst of cheers broke out.

After Qi Wei waved for everyone to quiet down, he asked Huo Jianqi: "Director Huo, I heard that you are preparing for a new project."

Huo Jian nodded and replied: "I am indeed preparing a love movie recently called "Blue Love"."

Then he started to introduce it nonchalantly.

Qi Wei did not listen carefully, but said: "If you encounter any difficulties in this movie, just tell me and I will try my best to help you solve it." Huo Jianqi did encounter some difficulties. In fact, After filming "That Man, That Mountain, That Dog", he also filmed a feature film "Nine-Nine Sunny Days".

This movie was released some time ago, but there was no splash at all.

And "That Man, That Mountain, That Dog" has not yet been released, which means that he is currently preparing for "Blue Love" and is temporarily unable to attract investment.

So Qi Wei's words relieved his urgent need, and he instantly said with joy: "Thank you very much."

"We are all friends, so there is no need to say anything."

After speaking, Qi Wei glanced at Teng Rujun, nodded politely to him, and then briefly chatted for a few words. Finally, Qi Wei withdrew his gaze and said to Cheng Hao with a gentle face:

"You should know that Director Zhang Jizhong of CCTV personally visited my company to discuss cooperation with me some time ago."

Cheng Hao nodded and replied: "Yes, I know. I have read the newspaper. He wants to adapt "The Swordsman" and ask you to play Linghu Chong."

"Then do you know that she talked about you when she was discussing cooperation with me? She admired your performance in our movie and wanted to invite you to play a role in "The Swordsman"."

"really?"

This is a CCTV blockbuster. How many well-known actors are trying to get a role in this drama. Unexpectedly, the opportunity will be placed in front of him so easily. Cheng Hao feels a little unbelievable.

"Of course it's true." Qi Wei replied with a smile.

"But I haven't received any audition notice yet."

"Are you questioning my words?"

"I didn't," Cheng Hao immediately denied.

Qi Wei suddenly laughed and explained: "This drama has not been officially approved yet, but it has only been in the past few days. You should be notified of the audition when you get back."

Then he warned: "Although you have already confirmed that you will definitely get the role, in order to avoid criticism, you'd better prepare well after you return."

"I know. I will buy a copy of "Swordsman" as soon as I go to prepare."

Qi Wei nodded and said: "After the filming of "Swordsman" is completed, I will tailor another drama for you."

"What drama?"

"It's a secret."

Seeing the intimate interaction between Qi Wei and Cheng Hao, Teng Rujun's frown gradually unfurled, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Somewhat helpless, but more pleased.

Maybe Qi Wei is indeed a very carefree person, but it is undeniable that he is really good to Cheng Hao.

He also gradually understood why Cheng Hao fell in love with Qi Wei so desperately and was unwilling to break up even though he knew Qi Wei had other women.

Being handsome, talented, rich, and more importantly, willing to put in the effort to be kind to others, there are really not many women who can resist this.

"I hope you can always be kind to her and make her happy forever."

He had begun to agree in his heart, but the subsequent conversation between Qi Wei and Cheng Hao left him speechless.

"When you say that, I do feel a little tired. I need to take a good bath in the hot springs later."

"I've heard about the hot springs in Japan a long time ago. I want to take a dip too."

"Japan allows men and women to bathe together. Let's take a bath together."

"Um"

"hey-hey."

Qi Wei and Cheng Hao happily soaked in the hot spring together. At the same time, in a courtyard house in Tokyo, several senior executives of Sony Records were having a meeting.

Rather than saying it is a meeting, it is better to say that it is an investigation.

A middle-aged man wearing a kimono sat in the high hall. He put down the Chinese book in his hand, squinted his eyes and scanned the people in suits and ties, and then slowly said, "Tell me, what is going on."

Although the sound was not loud, it was like thunder in the ears of the people kneeling in the hall, and some people immediately started to tremble.

After a while, one person plucked up the courage to reply tremblingly: "We have worked hard to publicize him for this Golden Melody Award, but we can't compare to others. He deserves the award."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man looked at the table. On the table were Qi Wei's complete set of records, as well as information and posters.

He picked up Qi Wei's poster and felt that the person on it looked familiar.

"Is he starring in the recently released Chinese movie "That Man, That Mountain, That Dog"?"

"Yes, that's him." Someone immediately replied.

"Huh? Things can't go well, but you still have the heart to go to the movies!"

The audience was silent for a moment.

The middle-aged man in kimono put down Qi Wei's poster, then picked up Qi Wei's information and read it carefully.

He couldn't help but frown as he looked at it, because Qi Wei's data was so beautiful that it was beyond the reach of other singers.

More importantly, the rise of Qi Wei coincides very well with the time when Sony focused on the Chinese market and began to expand in the mainland.

"How do you do things! You didn't notice such outstanding talents, and just watched them slip away from under your eyes!" He shouted angrily.

After he was angry, it took a while for someone to explain: "We talked with him at that time, but the conditions we proposed did not satisfy him, and then he chose to cooperate with PolyGram."

"You won't raise the conditions until you satisfy him."

"We have also raised the conditions, but our rights are limited. We need your permission to raise higher conditions. We have also sent you the documents, but you are the only one."

When he said that, he stopped here. The man suddenly remembered that he had denied this matter.

This is a little embarrassing.

He found a document that recorded the favorable conditions offered by Polygram's Zheng Donghan and Qi Wei for their cooperation at that time.

It takes a lot of courage to offer such generous terms, but now the facts have proven that it is indeed worth the money.

"What a piece of shit luck." He complained to himself, but on the surface he still looked calm and calm.

After being silent for a long time, he slowly said: "Gentlemen, get up first. You guys are not doing well in this matter. I can put it aside for now. Now I will give you a task. No matter how much it costs, you must dig him out." Let’s go to Sony.”

Hearing this, everyone suddenly looked embarrassed, thinking that if poaching was so easy, they wouldn't wait until now.

"He is still in the honeymoon period with Universal Music, and he still has two albums to work with."

"It's just two records. If he wants, we can help him buy it out."

"What if he doesn't want to?"

"If he doesn't want to, then let him be willing. He is in Japan now, and this is our home court" (End of Chapter)
