Chapter 962 Return to Tokyo

It has been a whole year since Jiang Chen came to Tokyo last time.

Today, the streets of Tokyo can no longer see the traces of the disaster last year. The Shinagawa district, which was taken over by the US military, has also lifted the blockade. The shops in the streets and alleys have also changed back to a brand new look and reopened for business.

Facts have proved that Jiang Chen's judgment was correct.

The black ships dispersed, the T virus disappeared, and the housing prices in Tokyo once again returned to "normal" levels. Although it has not yet returned to the top ten in the world, it is not far behind. At that time, Yamato Fangjian, who sold Tokyo real estate like a hot potato, had completely fainted in the toilet.

No one expected that the crisis would end so quickly.

The Shibuya 109 building that Jiang Chen bought with 60 million US dollars at the beginning, under the care of the professional real estate manager he hired, is now making a lot of money every day. The Shinjuku Commercial Street, which was bought in its entirety, has more than doubled its value by more than ten times. Akihabara, which was bought on a whim, has now been transformed into a street combining holographic and information technology by the products of Futureman Technology.

Regarding the transformation of Future Group in its own country, the Japanese government has mixed emotions. On the one hand, the Future Group's industry almost snatched banknotes from the Japanese in a predatory manner, and on the other hand, they really benefited from it painfully and happily.

Just like the United States, if there is no future group, 50% of Americans will take to the streets to criticize the federal government. The Japanese government is also facing the same problem now. Although they want to learn the technology of the Future Group and then kick it away, they simply cannot do it.

However, the reaction of the Japanese people was very flat, and most of them didn't seem to care about who was transforming this land.

...

The villa at the foot of Mount Fuji used to be a golf course that was only open to the upper classes in Japan, but after being bought by Jiang Chen, it was completely remodeled into a private villa. And that piece of green lawn covering an area of ​​over a thousand acres naturally became Jiang Chen's private garden.

In order not to waste, Jiang Chen also learned from the European nobles, hired a French gardener, and set aside a piece of land from the backyard and turned it into a vineyard. Although the soil at the foot of Mount Fuji has high sulfur content, the grapes grown are not sweet, but he put it 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.

"

Qian Xia, who was wearing a maid outfit, bent down and gently placed the brewed black tea on the table. When she was leaving, she inadvertently caught sight of the beautiful woman sitting across from Jiang Chen, and immediately bowed embarrassingly, turned and fled.

"You'll enjoy it."

Pouting her mouth and dropping this sentence, Liu Yao picked up the teacup, leaned close to her lips and took a sip, and suddenly said "Huh" in surprise.

Jiang Chen smiled, but didn't speak.

It seems that during his absence, Qian Xia has not lost touch with her, and her tea-making skills have improved a lot.

"Why don't you talk, don't you miss me?" Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't respond, Liu Yao put down her teacup 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, speaking of it, why did you come to Japan all of a sudden?"

"To participate in the film crew's premiere here in Tokyo, I just told you on the phone the day before yesterday."

As if she felt that Jiang Chen didn't pay enough attention to her, Liu Yao's small mouth pouted even higher. However, Jiang Chen didn't dislike her attitude of such a small woman.

"Premiere? Isn't "The Iron Curtain" already screened in New York?" Jiang Chen asked in surprise.

"It's not the same movie. In "The Iron Curtain of Time and Space", I just played a trick, okay?" Liu Yao stuck out her tongue, "Before filming "The Iron Curtain of Time and Space", I also took the movie. Your future Ren Technology is the largest investor, so you don't care about your company's business?"

Jiang Chen pondered for a while. 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 always been rumors of similar scandals on the Internet.

For a domestic film, the investment is at most two to three hundred million RMB, which is only a drizzle compared to the profit of the Future Group's business in China. As long as this kind of small investment conforms to the procedures, there is naturally no need for the people below to report to him.

In his memory, Liu Yao told him about this before, but there were so many things that happened recently that he really couldn't remember them.

Just when Jiang Chen was embarrassingly thinking about how to write Bai Du's name while she was not paying attention to see which movie it was, Liu Yao saw through his embarrassment at a glance, and said the name of the movie herself.

"It's the Three-Body Problem, a domestic sci-fi blockbuster."

"Three-Body Problem?" Jiang Chen was taken aback, his expression slightly surprised. His first reaction was not to ask Liu Yao, "Which character are you playing?" but——

"It's finally filmed?"

Finally shot it?

Speaking of the Three-Body Problem movie, it is really embarrassing. From the huge publicity at the beginning, to CEO Kong’s ambition to make Huaguo’s own sci-fi blockbuster, to Kong Ergou’s low-key announcement of his resignation two months before the release, the special effects team and director were all removed. This casts a shadow over the seemingly bright future of science fiction films in Huaguo.

Although Youzu Pictures has never given up the right to adapt Three-Body Problem, the budget that was burned in the early stage was finally exchanged for an ending where all the materials were discarded, which made the managers who were originally optimistic about this project abandon it like a shoestring. Even the parent company of Youzu Films has maintained a cautious attitude towards it.

Feelings are not worth mentioning in front of capital. For a project full of risks, even if Zhang Yimou is the director, the management will be cautious.

Because no suitable employer could be found, this Hugo Award-winning masterpiece fell into the dilemma of infinite delays.

But fortunately, the crew who took over the adaptation of the Three-Body Problem later got close to the boss of Future Technology, or in other words, found the woman of a certain boss.

Although many netizens are very dissatisfied with the fact that female number one hired a big-breasted actress, thinking that this is a disrespect to the original work, but the production crew who are eager to find capital can't control so much. The right to adapt is limited, and they don't want to May wait forever. What's more, the current Liu Yao also has a certain box office appeal. As for whether the female lead in the original work has big breasts or not, who cares except fans of the original work?

Besides, in this kind of sci-fi group portrait work, is the image of the heroine really important?

In this way, the bumpy domestic sci-fi blockbuster was finally released in early 2019.

As the capital, Futureman Technology also soft-implanted advertisements on some of the film's shots according to the contract. For example, the VR helmet that appeared in the play directly used 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, smashing the rumors that the ticket will be delayed until 2020. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
