It has been a full year since Jiang Chen last came to Tokyo.
Nowadays, the traces of last year's disaster are no longer visible on the streets of Tokyo. The Shinagawa District, which was taken over by the US military, has also been lifted from the blockade, and the shops in the streets and alleys have returned to a brand new look and have reopened for business.
Facts have proved that Jiang Chen's judgment was correct.
The black ships dispersed, the T-virus disappeared, and housing prices in Tokyo returned to "normal" levels again. Although it has not yet returned to the top ten in the world, it is not far behind. At that time, Yamato Bosukan, which was selling off Tokyo real estate like a hot potato, had completely fainted in the toilet.
No one expected that crisis to end so quickly.
Jiang Chen originally bought the Shibuya 109 Building for US$60 million. Under the care of the professional real estate managers he hired, it is now making money every day. The entire Shinjuku shopping street was bought, and its value has now more than doubled. Akihabara, which I bought on a whim, has now been transformed into a street that combines holography and information technology with products from Future People Technology.
Regarding the transformation of the Future Man Group in its own country, the Japanese government has quite complicated emotions. On the one hand, the Future Group's industry almost snatched money from the Japanese in a predatory manner, but on the other hand, they did benefit from it painfully and happily.
Just like the United States, if there were no Future People Group, 50% of Americans would take to the streets to curse the federal government. The Japanese government is now facing the same problem. Although it wants to learn the technology of the Future People Group and then kick it away, they simply cannot do it.
However, the reaction of the Japanese people was very dull. Most of them did not seem to care who the person who transformed this land was.
…
The villa at the foot of Mount Fuji was once a golf course open only to Japan's upper class. After being bought by Jiang Chen, it was completely transformed into a private villa. And the green lawn covering an area of thousands of acres naturally became Jiang Chen's private garden.
In order not to waste anything, Jiang Chen also imitated European aristocrats and hired a French gardener to carve out a piece of land in the backyard and turn it into a vineyard. Although the soil at the foot of Mount Fuji was high in sulfur and the grapes grown there were not sweet, he placed them there as a decoration.
Jiang Chen didn't expect to use the grapes here to make wine.
"Master, please have some tea."
"Well, put it there."
"OK."
Chinatsu, who was wearing a maid uniform, leaned down and gently placed the brewed black tea on the table. When leaving, she inadvertently caught sight of the beautiful woman sitting opposite Jiang Chen, and immediately bowed sheepishly, turned around and ran away.
"You really know how to enjoy it."
After pouting her lips and throwing away these words, Liu Yao picked up the teacup, brought it close to her lips and took a sip. She suddenly said "huh" in surprise.
Jiang Chen smiled and said nothing.
It seems that during his absence, Chinatsu did not lose contact, and her tea-making skills have improved a lot.
"Why don't you speak? Don't you miss me?" Seeing Jiang Chen's lack of response, Liu Yao put down the tea cup and said pitifully.
"Why don't you want to? It's just that I've been too busy recently." Jiang Chen laughed and changed the subject, "By the way, why did you suddenly come to Japan?"
"I was going to attend the premiere of the film crew in Tokyo. I told you about it on my phone just the day before yesterday."
As if she felt that Jiang Chen didn't pay enough attention to her, Liu Yao's little mouth pursed even higher. However, Jiang Chen didn't dislike her being such a petty woman.
"Premiere? Isn't "Iron Curtain of Time" already shown in New York?" Jiang Chen said in surprise.
"It's not the same movie. I just played a minor role in "Iron Curtain of Time and Space", okay?" Liu Yao stuck out her tongue, "Before filming "Iron Curtain of Time and Space", I also took on a movie. Your future Human Technology is the largest employer, so you don’t care about your company’s business?”
Jiang Chen thought for a moment and found out that this was probably before Ning Huajian was promoted to CEO of the head office. Although Jiang Chen has never disclosed his relationship with Liu Yao, there have been rumors of similar scandals on the Internet.
The maximum investment for a domestic film is only two to three billion RM, which is only a drizzle compared to the profits of Futureman Group's business in China. As long as this small amount of investment complies with the procedures, there is no need for the people below to report it to him again.
In his impression, Liu Yao had told him about this before, but so many things had happened recently that he really couldn't remember it.
Just when Jiang Chen was embarrassed and thinking about how to take advantage of Baidu's attention to find out which movie it was by mentioning her name, Liu Yao saw through his embarrassment at a glance and said the name of the movie herself.
"It's Three-Body Problem, a domestic science fiction blockbuster."
"Three-body?" Jiang Chen was stunned, with a slightly surprised expression on his face. His first reaction was not to ask Liu Yao, "Which role are you playing?" but -
"Finally filmed?"
Finally filmed
Speaking of the movie The Three-Body Problem, it is really disappointing. From the initial vigorous publicity, to CEO Kong's ambition to make a Chinese science fiction blockbuster, to Kong Ergou's low-key announcement of his resignation two months before the release, the special effects team and director were completely removed. This casts a shadow over the seemingly bright future of Chinese science fiction films.
Although Youzu Pictures has never given up the rights to adapt Three-Body Problem, the budget burned in the early stage eventually led to an ending where all the materials were scrapped, causing the developers who were originally optimistic about the project to abandon it like worn shoes. Even the parent company of Youzu Pictures has maintained a cautious attitude towards it.
Things like feelings are not worth mentioning in front of capital. A project full of risks, even if Zhang Yimou is the director, will make the management cautious.
Because it could not find a suitable sponsor, this Hugo Award-winning masterpiece fell into the dilemma of endless delays.
But fortunately, the new crew that took over the adaptation of The Three-Body Problem got close to the boss of Futureman Technology, or in other words, they found a certain boss’s woman.
Although many netizens are dissatisfied with the lead actress hiring a big-breasted actress, thinking this is disrespectful to the original work, the crew who are eager to find investors can't control that much. The adaptation rights have a time limit, and they can't It might just keep waiting. What's more, Liu Yao now has a certain box office appeal. As for whether the female lead in the original work has big breasts, except for fans of the original work, who would care
Besides, in this kind of science fiction group portrait work, is the image of the heroine really important
In this way, the domestic science fiction blockbuster that had a bumpy journey was finally successfully released in early 2019.
Futureren Technology, as the employer, also carried out soft advertising in some scenes of the film according to the contract. For example, the VR helmet that appears in the play directly uses the Phantom helmet. The trademark of Futureman Technology has also been printed on many high-tech products.
In any case, after going through this bumpy journey, the crew responsible for the filming finally put the film on the big screen in 2019, shattering the rumors that it would be postponed to 2020. (.)
