Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Japan shot a large number of war movies in the 1960s and 1970s, most of which had anti-war themes.

The content mainly shows how miserable the Japanese civilians were during the war. As for how miserable the people of other countries were when they were invaded by the Japanese army, it doesn't matter.

Since there have been so many films like this, they can still make new ones.

For example, there is a movie called "Red Angel", which tells the story of a field nurse named Ah Ying who engaged in pornography with the Japanese army.

A Japanese soldier's hand was blown off by our army, which made him unable to masturbate, so Ah Ying helped him masturbate.

A Japanese military doctor amputated people's limbs every day and developed a psychological disorder that made him incompetent. Ah Ying made him become a man again...

Unfortunately, the theme of the movie is still serious anti-war propaganda, showing how miserable the soldiers at the bottom are in a state of war.

This horse riding... only the Japanese can photograph it.

They had yet to see a film like "Sediq Bale" that was not just about invasion and being invaded, but about the collision between barbarism and civilization.

In addition, the scandal between Haruki Kadokawa and Hiroko Yakushimaru was very popular some time ago, so many Japanese people knew that this movie won the Golden Lion Award.

So, after the movie was released, people flocked to the cinema to watch it. After watching it, many people became interested in the film's perspective, which sparked heated discussions.

Eventually, the box office soared. When Yang Ye arrived in Tokyo, the box office had reached 43 billion yen.

It should be noted here that before 2000, Japan's box office statistics were based on rationed income. What is the actual box office... As a rough estimate, it is probably multiplied by 1.7.

In other words, although movies such as "Hero" and "Red Cliff" after 2000 have achieved very good box office results in Japan.

But in fact, it is far inferior to the box office results created by Bruce Lee and Chen Long in Japan in the 1970s and 1980s.

"Sediq Bale" was released in Japan under the title "Sakura in the Wind", and like Taiwan, it was divided into two parts: "Flag of the Sun" and "Rainbow Bridge".

But instead of showing the upper and lower parts as in Taiwan, a parallel screening model was adopted.

Parallel screening is a popular screening mode in Japan in the 70s and 80s, which means that several movies are screened together.

This model is more flexible. You can put together two movies, three movies, a musical, or even a small concert. It doesn't matter what you do.

In terms of fares, there will be relatively large discounts.

The first part of "Sediq Bale" tells the story of the Wushe Uprising. At the end, the Seediqs killed all the Japanese in the elementary school. In the second part, it is time to talk about the revenge of the Japanese.

As a Japanese, no matter what his psychology is, he can't wait to watch the second part, and the parallel screening model just meets their needs.

The U.S.-based film was too long, resulting in insufficient film schedules every day. It has been in theaters for a month, but it is still a popular film, and the box office is still rising.

At this time, the theme of the same name "Sailor Suit and Machine Gun" created by Hiroko Yakushimaru of the Yangye Gang has been released, occupying the top spot in the sales rankings for five consecutive weeks, becoming a super hit song with a total sales volume of 86 copies.

On the movie's premiere day, Hiroko Yakushimaru's pre-screening event was held at three theaters in Marunouchi, Shinjuku and Shibuya in Tokyo, attracting countless young audiences.

Since they couldn't get a spot in Tokyo, fans went to Osaka to attend the meet-and-greet held in Osaka the next day.

But there were so many people that tens of thousands of fans couldn't get a seat and gathered in front of the cinema, causing a riot.

Osaka had to deploy a large number of police to maintain order, and the meeting was suspended due to police intervention.

Fans who heard that the pre-screening event was cancelled rushed to Osaka Airport to catch a glimpse of Hiroko Yakushimaru, causing chaos at the airport.

Hiroko Yakushimaru was forced to escape from the airport by car and headed to Osaka Train Station. Unexpectedly, there were also a large number of fans staying there. In the end, she had to drive all the way to Nagoya, and then take the Shinkansen back to Tokyo.

Because of this experience, Yakushimaru received a warning from the Osaka Prefectural Police, "I hope you will not come to Osaka again without permission in the future." This was nicknamed Yakushimaru's "Osaka Entry Ban."

After this battle, Hiroko Yakushimaru's popularity exploded and she became a super idol.

The "idol culture" that has been poisoning East Asia for decades has officially taken shape!

Movies and music are no longer the main selling points, the real selling point is idols.

Things like movies and music are just props used to gain fans.

Having said that, the early idols from Japan, Korea, China, Hong Kong and Taiwan still had something to offer.

After 2010, mainland idols, such as the wave of people like the Gun King, rely solely on selling their faces.

Pao Wang's singing can make you deaf, and his acting can make you physically uncomfortable.

Yang Ye remembered that he once heard King Pao and Zhou Huajian singing "Swords Like Dreams", Mahler Gobi, and it was really difficult for Zhou Huajian next to him.

Another time, Pao Wang starred in Zhou Xingchi and Xu Ke's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", Cao Mu Ma, and his acting skills were so awkward...

After sitting in the cinema for a while, Yang Ye felt unwell. After leaving the cinema, he exhaled a breath of stale air and suddenly felt, ah, how fresh the air was.

Having said that, the King of Artillery still has a face after all, but after 2020, idols no longer even have faces. Xin Xinzi, in domestic entertainment before 2010, could only play the role of maid.

She can also become a first-line idol, what else is there to say?

Destroy it!

Yang Ye thought, fortunately I traveled through time.

……

"Yang Sang, the success of this operation is all due to your help!" Kadokawa Haruki said proudly.

Yang Ye smiled and said: "It's just a little effort!"

This time it’s not just the success of the movie. Before the release of the theme song EP of “Sailor Suit and Machine Gun”, Kadokawa Shoten also published the original novel of “Sailor Suit and Machine Gun”.

The bundled sales of literature, music, and movies complemented each other and were all sold well. The new business model invented by Haruki Kadokawa was a great success, providing a new idea for IP operations in the entertainment industry.

In the 1970s, the Japanese film industry entered an unprecedented decline and depression, the studio system was on the verge of collapse, and the star system gradually disappeared...

At this time, Kadokawa Haruki used his unique business model to transform Japan's gradually collapsing "star movie" model and resurrect it in the form of "idol movie".

With such fruitful results, it’s no wonder Kadokawa Haruki is so proud.

Yang Ye unintentionally became the promoter of this incident, but it was not his original intention.

However, the birth of idol culture is not based on his personal will. Even if he does not participate, idol culture will still be born.

In this case, it's better to get some benefits from it.

After the successful launch of Hiroko Yakushimaru, Haruki Kadokawa began to launch his second idol, which was Tomoyo Harada.

Yang Ye was not idle either. You pushed and I pushed, and he also began to look for the idols he needed in Japan.

Since Yang Ye was active in Japan during this period, and the movies he released were box office hits, he received an invitation to the Japanese Rape TV Red and White Song Concert.

And he shamelessly invited Yang Ye and Hiroko Yakushimaru to appear on stage together.

Yang Ye refused.

He explained to Hiroko Yakushimaru: "Miss Hiroko, although Mr. Kadokawa hyped up our scandal for the sake of the movie box office, this matter can only end here. You are an innocent idol. Once the relationship is established, he may treat you badly." caused a devastating blow to the business.”

Hiroko Yakushimaru admired Yang Ye very much, and she quite hoped to appear on stage with her idol. However, Yang Ye's words made sense, so she had no choice but to drop the matter.

But the face of Ritakadai was still given. Yang Ye refused to go on stage with Hiroko Yakushimaru, but he told Ritakadai that he was willing to go on stage.

Starting in the 80s, Japan's NHK TV station began to cooperate with Chinese TV media to produce many documentaries on Chinese topics.

These documentaries have changed the Western media's smearing and vilifying image of China in the past. They have highlighted China's history and culture, as well as the rise of China's modern society.

If they only learn about China by watching NHK documentaries, most viewers will have the impression that China creates human civilization, China saves the world, and China leads the world to progress.

Therefore, NHK is called "Japan's traitor station" and "communist station" by Japan's right-wing militarists.

In the 2ch forum, the most popular forum in Japan in later generations, Japanese netizens also called NHK the "Japan branch of CCTV."

Therefore, Yang Ye still has to give NHK face, but Yang Ye made a suggestion. He wanted to bring a new person on stage.

NHK said you were joking when you stepped on a horse? Those who can attend my red and white singing show are all popular singers. How can newcomers attend?

Yang Ye explained that this was not an ordinary newcomer. She was Japanese, named Akina Nakamori, and was a disciple of Yamaguchi Momoe after she retired.

When NHK heard this, it was like, Huh? It seems to be a bit confusing!

Since Yamaguchi Momoe retired, she has completely disappeared.

But she was so popular during her peak period that even though she retired for two years, her legend is still everywhere in the world.

People are eager to know what she did!

Now I learned from Yang Ye that she actually accepted a disciple?

In the past two years, a large number of youth idol singers have suddenly appeared in the Japanese entertainment industry, all of them claiming to be Yamaguchi Momoe's successor.

Some have really made a name for themselves, such as Seiko Matsuda, Nahoko Kawai, etc.

Now a real successor suddenly appears...

NHK proposed to interview Akina Nakamori in person, which was naturally no problem. Yang Ye called and called Akina Nakamori back to Japan.

After one song, they passed smoothly, and Yang Ye and Nakamori Akina were officially confirmed as guest performers at the Red and White Song Festival.

However, Akina Nakamori is not qualified to sing solo. The song she performed was a duet with Yang Ye.

Yang Ye is the husband of Yamaguchi Momoe, and Nakamori Akina is also his disciple. It is reasonable for the master to lead his disciple to debut, right?

Yang Ye not only brought brand-new songs to this performance, but also brought unprecedented stage design, which amazed the person in charge of NHK and was convinced that their show would definitely cause a sensation. (End of chapter)
