Tokyo Literary Godfather

"Infernal Affairs" suspended filming for three days, and Fujiwara Kei took Arima Keika and a group of people to Hong Kong Island.

"Confession" was nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards. Kei Fujiwara and the main actors went to the awards and got to know the filmmakers and film companies on Hong Kong Island.

"Confession" has won many awards so far. In addition to some less prestigious awards, some heavyweight awards include the Academy Award and the Tokyo International Film Festival Grand Prize.

However, these are all domestic awards. "Confession" has also won some overseas award nominations, but Kei Fujiwara didn't even go there in person. He just sent someone to pick them up, just to give them face. The Academy Awards are considered a heavyweight award, and Keizai Fujiwara plans to go there in person.

The main reason why the Academy Awards is important is because it is an award from Hong Kong Island. Hong Kong Island was once the well-deserved overlord of Asian films. Even though it is now in decline, the awards produced here are still important.

Whoever has the strength will have value. Therefore, the Oscars are the most influential film awards in the world. Even if this award has caused many scandals and awarded some bad movies, as long as it is relied on Hollywood, it will still be the most credible.

Among the three major Chinese film awards, the Golden Rooster, the Golden Horse, and the Golden Statue, the Golden Statue is considered the most valuable award. This is all due to the afterglow of the Hong Kong Island movies that were very popular back then.

Kei Fujiwara arrived at Hong Kong Island one day in advance, and reception staff from Hong Kong Island were already waiting at the airport in advance. These reception staff came from Asia Universal Pictures, a well-known film distribution company on Hong Kong Island.

This company is also the distributor of the movie "Confession" in Hong Kong. This movie was released in Hong Kong two months after it was screened in Japan. As a foreign film, it is not gangsters, nonsense, cops and gangsters that are more popular with local audiences. My favorite theme actually earned more than 10 million at the box office, ranking 13th among Hong Kong movies that year.

The box office champion for the whole year was only about 40 million. Asia Universal didn't take it seriously at first and just released it as a casual Japanese film. The box office results surprised them. Later, after learning about the director's resume of this film, Universal's boss Yue Jianlin took it seriously. He felt that this person was not an ordinary person, and he wanted to win all the distribution rights of his films in Hong Kong Island in the future.

The distribution rights of "My Sassy Girl" in Hong Kong were also given to Universal, but it was not released simultaneously. Because Universal's own film will also be broadcast in the near future, it is planned to let this film be watched after it is screened in Japan. Let’s look at the box office results.

As a result, this movie was only screened in Japan for a week, and the box office revenue reached 1 billion yen. This is despite the fact that a Hollywood movie came out midway to compete with this movie to compete for the box office. And depending on the situation, this Hollywood movie should not be able to beat this romance movie in Japan.

You can tell by looking at the trend. On the day the Hollywood movie was released, the box office of "My Sassy Girl" plummeted to the bottom. However, the next day it rose back to a high level.

This made Universal's boss Yue firm in his opinion. This young supervising screenwriter and boss of the film company is not simple. And he also heard a piece of news that surprised him even more, that is, Kei Fujiwara also cooperated with Taiwan Central Television to create a TV series that was only broadcast in Taiwan. Currently, only five episodes have been broadcast, and the ratings The rate is so high that it has caused a sensation in the local area.

Nowadays, high school students in Taiwan spend their spare time discussing things related to this TV series. F4 is extremely popular, and many merchants have been inquiring about it and have begun to think of ways to sign endorsement deals with them.

This shows that this person has the ability to create popular works in any cultural background... This is too perverted, so you must have a good relationship. Especially now that local films in Hong Kong are declining, outstanding filmmakers must be good friends.

Therefore, Boss Yue sent someone to arrange everything for Kei Fujiwara in Hong Kong, making sure that Kei Fujiwara felt at home.

But something went wrong. The person sent by Yue Jianlin to entertain Fujiwara Kei was from the 1980s. Although he was wearing a suit, he still had some of the habits of a 49-year-old boy. I always feel that to please a man, there are just a few tricks, wine, sex, wealth, and the right medicine. Just find a beautiful woman to sit with you and flatter her a lot during the dinner.

As a result, at the reception banquet, two beauties were found to accompany Kei Fujiwara. They had different styles. Some were dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked charming, while others were plainly dressed and looked shy. However, their eyes were fixed on Kei Fujiwara like drawn chewing gum. On the body.

But although their styles are different, there is no doubt that they are all beauties, capable of participating in the Miss Hong Kong Pageant.

In the receptionist's mind, the plan was perfect and Kei Fujiwara didn't need to do anything. As long as they drink two more glasses of wine during the dinner and pretend to be drunk, the two of them will take advantage of the situation to send Kei Fujiwara back to the hotel, and the door will not be opened again once it is closed.

But after all, he still didn't investigate enough. He didn't even know that the female lead in this movie was Kei Fujiwara's current girlfriend, and he didn't know that she also came to Hong Kong Island... At this time, he was glaring at the two Hong Kong residents with murderous eyes. Miss Island.

The two female publicists were also made uncomfortable. Fujiwara Kei's personal secretary was afraid that a conflict would break out, so he quickly whispered a few words into the ear of the Universal receptionist while drinking. Only then did the receptionist wake up and quickly asked the two to leave. .

In the evening, Universal arranged a room for everyone. Guixiang Arima and Kei Fujiwara's rooms were on the same floor and lived next to each other. Other people's rooms are on other floors.

In the middle of the night, Kei Fujiwara walked to Arima Keika's room and knocked on the door. A somewhat frustrated voice came from the door: "What are you doing?!"

Fujiwara Kei smiled and said, "I'm here to give you a toothbrush."

"There is it in the room, please come back!"

"Okay, then I'm going back."

With that said, Fujiwara Kei took a step back and hid outside the door where the peephole could not see. Even though the door turned inside, there was a rapid "dong dong dong" sound of footsteps. Then the door opened and Arima Keixiang poked her head out to look around. Fujiwara Keinori grabbed the edge of the door and broke in...

After an unknown amount of time, Fujiwara Kei and Arima Keika were lying on the bay window in cool clothes, looking at the night in the high-rise buildings outside the window.

The hotel is located in the Tsim Sha Tsui area of ​​Hong Kong Island. Nearby is the Star Ferry Terminal. Not far away is the Hong Kong Cultural Center, the venue for the Hong Kong Film Awards. It is one of the most prosperous areas on Hong Kong Island.

At this time, Hong Kong Island had gone through several rounds of drastic social changes and had become one of the most prosperous metropolises in the world, and its prosperity was no less than that of Tokyo. The two of them were used to seeing the neon lights in Tokyo, but occasionally looking at the Chinese-style scene outside was a unique experience.

Somewhat like the magic city in Kei Fujiwara’s memory...

Kei Fujiwara sighed, Keixiang Arima heard it, rubbed her furry head on Kei Fujiwara's chin like a kitten, and asked: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Fujiwara Kei kissed her gently. You can't say that you are timid about being close to home, right? Because in Arima's perception, he is 100% Japanese. What if he continues to question his identity and has doubts about his identity? Although this possibility is small, Kei Fujiwara should always pay attention. There are some words that even Arima Keika is inconvenient to say, and Fujiwara Kei sometimes feels lonely - the secret that he is a time traveler will probably be kept secret for a lifetime, until the day he is buried.

"By the way, Kei." Arima Guixiang said suddenly, "Why didn't Moriya come along this time?"
