According to the schedule, the Japanese delegation will stay in Shanghai for 3 days.
Each visiting group was fully scheduled, visiting a factory, a village, a school, and even organized a series of activities, such as theatrical performances, friendly sports matches, speech contests, exchanges between philatelic enthusiasts, A showdown between Go enthusiasts...
Because there were so many people attending the party, we had to come in one after another.
Although there is a language barrier and complex conversations cannot be carried out, this does not hinder the communication between young people.
Everyone was very happy, especially the number of people who signed up to watch the movie "The Ring".
The Shanghai Film Bureau, studios and other units divided the Japanese delegation into several groups, and then reserved the theater for viewing in designated cinemas. The copies played were also specially made Japanese dubbing versions. Naturally, the translation studio was hired in order to be able to Introducing "The Ring" to Japan.
On the way to the theater in the car, Fang Yan and Okuyama sat in the same row, with Yoko Suzuki and Keiko Matsuzaka next to them.
“Fang Yanjun, it’s really thanks to you that Qingzi’s album is a hit.”
“No matter what, President Okuyama made a serious statement. No matter how good the lyrics are, the music must be good. , the person who sings must also be good, this is everyone’s contribution.”
“Hey, hey,”
Ou Shanrong nodded repeatedly, then presented an envelope with both hands, "It's just a small gift, not a sign of respect."
"That's really too polite."
Fang Yan pushed it away and was told by "Tough "I asked to accept it, and weighed it calmly. It was thick and heavy, full of sincerity.
"Fang Yan, it's like this. The album Keiko released is an EP."
Okuyama Rong explained the meaning of "mini album". Generally speaking, the Japanese record industry They will first release a single or a mini album to test the waters and hit the charts, and then adjust the album production according to the market. If the market responds strongly, an original album will be produced.
An original album will contain two to three singles that have been released, and seven or eight original songs.
Currently, Shochiku Film Company has been searching for songs for Keiko Matsuzaka, but the quality is uneven. It is difficult to find songs comparable to "Song of the Sunset" and "Lake Baikal", so it has to be... No, he came to the door in person to ask for help.
"I can't give an accurate answer to this. You know, creation is something that requires inspiration."
Dialect's tone is calm, even if Matsuzaka Keiko is his dearest relative, friend and confidante , but you have to pay extra!
“Understand, understand.”
Okuyama Rong also understands that the car is not the place to discuss business. As long as there is no direct rejection, there is still room for discussion.
Matsusaka Keiko opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak. As a result, until she arrived at the cinema, she could not speak in dialect.
…………
In a short time, the theater was packed with people.
Many people are still holding the novel "The Bell" in their hands, just because they heard that after the movie is over, there may be a signing session in dialect.
After all, "Midnight Ring" is so popular in Japan, not to mention the sales of the novel, just "usojapan", a ghost talk show that specializes in investigating legendary supernatural events, the ratings of those episodes of "Midnight Ring" The rate is also quite astonishing and remains high.
The audience knew it was scary, but they just couldn’t wait to see how scary it was!
The dark red lights illuminated the entire cinema, adding a strange atmosphere to the whole movie.
Everyone looked at the pictures on the screen with rapt attention, looking forward to the horror and horror shown in "The Ring".
The result was far beyond everyone's expectations, and screams and exclamations continued to stimulate the tense nerves.
"Ah!"
Matsusaka Keiko was not frightened by the movie, but was frightened by the screams one after another, and she reached out to grab her.
I thought I was grabbing the armrest, but I caught Fang Yan’s hand, and saw him pat the back of his hand with his backhand to show comfort:
“Are you okay?”
< br>"Sorry, Mr. Fang Yan."
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about."
Fang Yan took out the hand she was holding tightly and raised it a few times.
"Si Guoyi!"
Okuyama Rong was shocked, but he was not frightened by "Midnight Ring", but shocked that a horror movie could be shot like this?
This style, which is completely different from Japanese horror films, opened the door to a new world of horror for him. "Actually, the purpose of horror films and comedies are the same by different means."
Fang Yan said with a smile: "If comedy sells happiness to the audience, then horror movies sell fear to the audience, whether it is bloody scenes, harsh sound effects, or strange scenes and ghosts that appear at any time. To create headaches for the audience The feeling of numbness on the skin and rapid heartbeat."
Okuyama Rong said: "You are indeed Mr. Fang Yan. You can express the essence of a horror movie in one sentence, but I am ashamed to say that this is the first time I have seen it. Such a horror movie."
"That's why. Because this kind of shallow physiological pleasure can easily lead to aesthetic fatigue, horror films are a type of film that is extremely in need of innovation." Dialect said with his arms crossed, "This is a horror style that is unique to China. I'm afraid it won't happen again in the world. Can’t find the second one.”
Okuyama Rong nodded and agreed: "It is true that Mr. Fang Yan said that only new forms, contents and themes of horror films can provide new fears to the audience." Then casting an inquiring look, this "Midnight Murder" What kind of palm technique, no, composition technique is used in "Ling"?
"Psychological horror."
Fang Yan's answer was exactly the same as what he gave to Xu Ke.
Today's horror thrillers, some are full of blood and flesh that you dare not look directly at, and some are full of unexpected ghosts.
The theme of "Midnight Ring" is the ubiquitous depressive atmosphere and psychological panic.
“Educated!”
Okuyama's eyes shone brightly, and he was determined to introduce "Midnight Ring" to Japan just like he introduced "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog."
"You should look for China Film, Guixi Film or E Film. I can't make the final decision on distribution matters."
Dian Yan looked at Okuyama Rong from the left and Matsuzaka Keiko from the right. .
She pursed her lips and said, "Actually, the president has always hoped to adapt "Midnight Ring" into a movie."
Hearing that Shochiku intends to remake it, Dialect is not satisfied Surprised, "So, are you and Xiaojuan the protagonists?"
"Of course!"
Okuyama Rong admitted without hesitation that Matsuzaka Keiko and Awara Komaki were the top stars of Shochiku, and the company originally planned to buy the copyright and adapt it into a script with two heroines, letting them work together. Starring, now it’s easier, the Chinese version of “The Ring” happens to have two female protagonists.
Matsuzaka Keiko and Awahara Komaki looked at each other, and a feeling of being appointed came over them.
“Thank you, President!”
“Thank you, Mr. Fang Yan.”
Okuyama waved his hand, "Who told him to write such a good script and value you so much?"
If the occasion was not right, Matsuzaka Keiko and Awahara Komaki would have to bow respectfully. Shi bent down and whispered softly:
"Aligado, Mr. Fang Yan."
"No need to be so polite."
Fang Yanxu helped him, and then asked Pan Yaoming to discuss the details of the contract. As a manager, Bai Ruoxue bickers with Songzhu.
Okuyama understood the idea, returned his attention to the movie, and carefully studied how to remake it.
Fang Yan turned his head and caught a glimpse of Matsuzaka Keiko and Awara Komaki muttering quietly, curious.
Awahara Komaki explained that she was timid and had a hard time falling asleep after watching horror movies, so Matsusaka Keiko invited her to sleep with her tonight.
“Haha.”
Fang Yan laughed softly a few times, “If that’s the case, you can have some wine.”
"Eh?" Matsuzaka Keiko and Awahara Komaki looked at each other.
"There is an old Chinese saying that 'wine strengthens courage.'" Dialect said, "Drinking some wine not only strengthens courage, but may also help you sleep."
Matsusaka Keiko grinned. Said: "Well Mr. Fang Yan, after the movie is over, do you want to talk to me? Shall we have a drink?”
“I have to work on my manuscript tonight, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to accompany you.”
Fang Yan saw their eyes lost, and then added that he would wait until he arrived in Yanjing. The host invites them to have a good drink. (End of chapter)
