Chapter 965 Premiere
Chubu Electric Power Company is headquartered in Nagoya City in the central region of Japan. It provides electricity to about 16.6 million people in 5 counties in the central region. It is the third largest electric power company in Japan, and the controlling party behind it is the Sumitomo Foundation.
In fact, besides Chubu Electric Power Company, Jiang Chen has a better choice, that is Tokyo Electric Power. However, due to the deep quagmire of the Fukushima nuclear accident, Tokyo Electric Power Company has not yet resolved the issue of compensation and aftermath. Moreover, the company's financial situation is not ideal, and there is a risk of bankruptcy. Combining these reasons, Jiang Chen finally chose Central Electric Power as the partner.
A high-end business bar in Shinjuku, a black car stopped at the door.
Although most bars are closed at this time, this one is a bit special. It is open as usual even at 8 in the morning, but there is no bartending service.
After closing the car door casually, Jiang Chen walked towards the bar.
Two burly bodyguards in suits and sunglasses escorted him around, and he was a little handsome. In addition to his expensive suit and cool sunglasses, he attracted countless eyes before he stepped into the bar's door.
The welcoming lady hurried forward and asked weakly.
"Hi sir, may I ask for your membership card..."
Jiang Chen frowned slightly, he couldn't understand Japanese.
Seeing this, the bodyguard standing aside immediately leaned over and whispered in his ear to repeat it.
Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't respond, the welcoming lady froze for a moment, a little at a loss.
At this moment, a mouthful of standard Mandarin floated over from the bar.
"Mr. Jiang is my distinguished guest, how dare you stop him at the door?"
This sentence was obviously meant for Jiang Chen, because the welcome lady was obviously dumbfounded.
Walking to a slightly brighter place, a young man walked out of the bar face to face. He was also dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and his upright appearance could be called handsome, but he was almost half a head shorter than Jiang Chen. He first reprimanded the welcoming lady in a low voice, then put on a smiling face as if changing his face, and greeted Jiang Chen.
"I hope Mr. Jiang will forgive me for the poor hospitality."
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled.
"It's okay. Speaking of which, Mr. Sumitomo arrived first?"
"To be honest,
This business bar is one of the family properties. When Mr. Jiang called, we were negotiating business with Tokyo Electric Power Company. "Sumitomo made a gesture of invitation to the bar, "Please come inside." "
While following him into the bar, Jiang Chen asked with a smile, "Oh? May I take the liberty to ask, what kind of business is it?"
"About the merger and acquisition of power grid management rights in Ome City, Tokyo."
When he said this, Sumitomo Kenichi's expression was so confident that Jiang Chen, who was walking beside him, unexpectedly looked at this guy twice more.
Showing his own strength without any trace, it seems that the news of the Sumitomo Foundation is quite well-informed, and he already knows what he plans to discuss with them.
Judging from the layout of the bar, the difference between this so-called high-end business bar and other bars probably lies in the lack of dazzling lights and violent music. The lighting in the lobby is very soft, and the decoration is quite elegant. It has both western design and a little bit of Japanese style.
Most of the drinkers in booths wear formal attire,
A beautiful waiter brought the two of them to the VIP room deep in the bar, and opened the door respectfully for them.
But before going in, Sumitomo Kenichi stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at Jiang Chen with a smile.
"Do you need to take a bath first?"
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, smiled and shook his head and said, "No need, I have a date tonight."
Bathing in this kind of place must be the only possibility.
If he had time, Jiang Chen wouldn't mind experiencing the "characteristic" culture of Japan, and trying out the differences between foreign and domestic swords. But in a while he will go to the premiere of Liu Yao MM, if he nods, he may not be back until late at night.
Sumitomo Jianyi raised his eyebrows at Jiang Chen with eyes that any man could understand, but he obviously misunderstood it.
"That's really a pity. Since Mr. Jiang has other arrangements for the evening, I can only entertain you next time."
Turning around, Sumitomo Ken winked at the waitress, indicating that she can go down first, then looked at Jiang Chen with a smile, and made a gesture of invitation to the box.
"Inside please."
Jiang Chen gestured to the bodyguards, signaling them to wait at the door, and then walked into the private room.
...
Shinjuku Piccadilly Cinema, as the first sci-fi masterpiece to go abroad, the premiere of "Three-Body Problem 1" was held quite grandly. Backed by the rich and powerful future technology, the budget of the crew is quite sufficient, and they directly contracted the entrance of the Piccadilly Cinema and the most upscale No. 1 screening hall.
The premiere started at eight o'clock, but just at six o'clock, reporters from major media, as well as special guests, film critics and movie fans who had obtained tickets for the premiere through various channels had already gathered at the door.
The process of walking the red carpet has not yet started, but the flashing lights have brought rhythm around.
For this sci-fi movie from China, Japanese sci-fi fans are more surprised than looking forward to it. As early as after The Three-Body Problem 1 was released in China, trailers and low-resolution sneak shots have been streamed to other countries through various channels.
The special effects technology of Huaguo movies is only worth 50 cents, and many people have already accepted this fact by default.
And it is precisely because of this that Japanese movie fans are so surprised. Because from what they saw in the trailer, it is completely impossible to imagine that this is the work of a Chinese film producer, but it is more like the handwriting of a Hollywood studio on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
While interviewing crew members, reporters from major media did not ignore the audience present.
"I hope it's not an empty joy, it's the first time I've come to the premiere of a certain movie to join in the fun."
"Hua Guo also has sci-fi movies? Ha, it's unbelievable! I must expose their lies in person..."
"I've read the novel, and it seems to be pretty good, but I'm skeptical... Is the producer, whom I've never heard of, capable of bringing this movie to the screen? I'll be honest, even if As a Hollywood producer, I am afraid it will be difficult to perfectly restore some details in the book."
"The trailer was good, hopefully the movie will be as well."
"Shaofeng is so handsome!"
"Well, that Liu Yao is so beautiful! Are there any posters of her for sale? Are there any merchandise for the premiere? Or can I only buy them on Amazon? But it's too late, I really want her autograph!"
"..."
On the other side, Liu Yao, who had already changed into her evening gown, was standing in front of the media cameras with a smile on her face, accepting interviews from the reporters. Different from the little girl when she was by Jiang Chen's side, she now has a dignified and elegant appearance, standing there quite like a goddess.
What questions can be answered, and what questions should be answered, Chen Yuqing has already planned for her in advance. Although the questions were thrown like a cannonball, she still answered them all calmly.
However, as the time gradually approached eight o'clock, the look on her brows gradually took on a trace of anxiety, and a pair of beautiful eyes drifted towards the main entrance of the theater from time to time.
Finally getting rid of the entanglement of the media, Liu Yao returned to the dressing room with her tired body. She has a red carpet to go next, and a touch-up of makeup before that. The beautiful makeup artist of the crew has been waiting for a long time, and almost as soon as she sat on it, she quickly grabbed the brush and foundation with her hands and feet, dancing on her fingertips like flying.
Sitting there motionless, letting the makeup artist finish fiddling with her face and hair, facing herself in the mirror, Liu Yao curled the corners of her mouth and squeezed out a beautiful smile.
"Are you ready? My Majesty the Queen." Chen Yuqing, who was standing beside her, joked.
Liu Yao smiled and slapped her best friend, "Be careful that Her Majesty the Queen spanks your ass."
After frolicking with her best friend for a while, Liu Yao went to the makeup mirror and carefully checked if there were any omissions. Behind her, Chen Yuqing stood still, coughed lightly, and instructed.
"I'm going to walk the red carpet in a while."
"Um."
With a faint smile, Liu Yao's face is full of confidence.
This is the first time for her to act as the leading actress, and it is also the first time for her to walk the red carpet of an overseas premiere as a heroine.
However, at this moment, there was a faint sound of commotion outside the door... (To be continued.) Opening a new website
