Chapter 624: Movie Emperor Kitano Takeshi

"Who is it?" Ayumu Hamasaki's voice, as cold as a glacier in the Himalayas, rang out to the crowd, seeming to have lowered the temperature of the entire lobby by several degrees. In Japan, there is a person who dares to talk to me like this.

The reporters immediately flashed through a spacious passage, and the awe was written on everyone's face. At this time, Hamasaki Ayumi was also stunned when he saw an old man with gray hair walking over majestically.

After seeing the person clearly, Hamasaki Ayumi, who looked like a high-ranking queen just a moment ago, immediately became like a good girl. She cautiously stepped aside and bowed and said, "Kitano, Hamahime, I'm sorry."

The person who came over was Takeshi Kitano, who is said to be the first person under the Japanese film emperor Akira Kurosawa.

After Akira Kurosawa passed away in 1998, Takeshi Kitano became Japan's new generation of film emperor. certainly. In Japan, a country that once regarded the emperor as a god, no one dared to call himself the movie emperor. This is a title given to Akira Kurosawa and Takeshi Kitano by foreign movie fans. The other reflects their status in the Japanese entertainment industry. Influence, one reflects their influence in the international market. They are all well-known international directors.

Kitano Takeshi is respectfully called a daimyo in the Japanese entertainment industry. This title is not something that ordinary people can enjoy. Only filmmakers who have won international honors for Japan, who have been famous in Japan for more than 20 years, and who are still extremely influential are eligible to be named daimyo. Kitano Takeshi's full name is Goza Daimyo, which means that he is a great name in the entertainment industry who has been received by the Emperor of Japan.

In China, only the status of national advisor Zhang Yimou can compete with Takeshi Kitano's status in Japan. Takeshi Kitano can ruin an artist's future in the Japanese entertainment industry with just one word, or even a nasty look can ruin the future of a popular artist.

Facing such a powerful and domineering Daimyo, Hamasaki naturally did not dare to resist at all.

Even though Ayumi Hamasaki is the first of the Heisei Three Princesses, she is still signed by William Morris Company, but Kitano Takeshi said a word and Hamasaki had to quit the entertainment industry.

Takeshi Kitano glanced at Ayumi Hamasaki with a serious expression and said, "Let's talk about the situation."

At this time, Domotomatsu lowered his head because he was not even qualified to speak. In front of the daimyo who was received by the emperor, he was like an ant.

Therefore, at this time, Hamasaki had no choice but to tell the whole story clearly, without omitting anything or concealing anything. She did not have the courage. The things Hamasaki did in front of so many reporters couldn't withstand Kitano's questioning. Once Kitano found out that she was lying, she would really be doomed.

Kitano Takeshi's expression relaxed a little at this time and said: "William Morris Company? I understand, change to a hotel. If you dare to do such a thing again in the future, go home and take care of the children by yourself."

At this time, Hamasaki breathed a long sigh of relief. After all, he did not anger the throne daimyo, otherwise he would really go home and take care of his children like Kitano Takeshi said.

Kitano Takeshi said that no record company in Japan dares to use Hamasaki, no agency dares to sign a contract with Hamasaki, and no TV program dares to let Hamasaki appear on it.

At that time, she really had only one way to go home and take care of her children.

Now that he is able to escape unscathed, Hamasaki has already prayed to God and Buddha for blessing. After Ayumi Hamasaki and his assistant cautiously retreated, Takeshi Kitano glanced at the reporters. Many reporters suddenly felt a great pressure. Takeshi Kitano did not release any aura at all, but the reporters could feel it. This kind of pressure is even more powerful than when facing Ayumi Hamasaki.

At this time, Kitano Takeshi has reached the point where he can shock the entire audience with just one look without any aura. In the Japanese entertainment industry, Akira Kurosawa had this kind of character back then, but now everyone has discovered that Takeshi Kitano is even more domineering than Akira Kurosawa.

Takeshi Kitano glanced at the many reporters, waved his hands and said, "Let's disperse. Just treat today's incident as if nothing happened. I don't want to see any media reports."

In a word, all the reporters left obediently, like a group of sheep rather than a group of reporters.

At this time, Kitano Takeshi walked towards Ye Ming with a smile and said: "Ye Sang, I'm sorry, there are some problems with the discipline in our entertainment industry, and you are laughing at it."

Ayumi Hamasaki's performance really shows that the Japanese entertainment industry is relatively uncultivated. This is the main reason why Kitano Takeshi is angry. Of course, Wood from William Morris Agency will come over in the next two days, that's for sure. Kitano believed that Hamasaki didn't have the guts to deceive him, so he let Hamasaki go without punishing her. But it was also a sentence that made the pop leader Ayumi Hamasaki change a hotel directly.

At this time, Ye Ming said very politely: "Mr. Kitano, you are so polite. Thank you Mr. Kitano for coming to the rescue. Otherwise, if things got serious, it would also have a bad impact on our crew."

Although Ye Ming believes that he is qualified to make Hamasaki give in, and he also has this method, under such a situation, he knows that if he does that, he will definitely offend many people in the Japanese entertainment industry. Man, Ayumi Hamasaki's influence in the Japanese entertainment industry is quite large.

But at this time, it was Kitano Takeshi who came forward to make Hamasaki give in. Then Ye Ming believed that no one in the Japanese entertainment industry had the courage to use this excuse against him. Even in the media, there will never be a word of news about this matter.

This is the true influence of Takeshi Kitano, the great daimyo in the Japanese entertainment industry.

Kitano Takeshi said with a smile: "Ye Sang is too polite. I have watched Li Sang's [Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon]. Ye Sang's performance in it is simply amazing. I never thought that Ye Sang is so good at kung fu." His understanding is so profound, I have some thoughts that I want to exchange with Ye Sang, but I don’t know if Ye Sang has time. Don’t worry, I will beg for mercy at Ye Sang’s movie premiere.”

Kitano Takeshi came prepared. Ye Ming will attend the premiere of "Infernal Affairs" in the afternoon. Therefore, Ye Ming's time in Japan must be very tight. Talking to Ye Ming at this time will also take a relatively long time. Kitano Takeshi is afraid that Ye Ming will not be able to arrange this time.

Ye Ming said with a smile: "I don't want to exchange it. Mr. Kitano is a senior. I hope to learn from Mr. Kitano."

After asking Sister Fang Fang to arrange the crew, Ye Mingcai and Takeshi Kitano walked directly to an internal cafe of the Hilton Hotel. This cafe is exclusively for hotel guests. Therefore, people outside want to It's impossible to come in, so it's a relatively quiet place.

As for the fate of lobby manager Domoto Matsu, his behavior has already damaged the reputation of Hilton Hotel. Therefore, he was directly fired without any room for discussion.

Arriving in the private room of the cafe, Kitano Takesai said: "Ye-san, I think you also know that our country's Shintaro Katsu passed away unfortunately the year before last. The death of Shintaro Katsu is a great loss to our Japanese entertainment industry.

Therefore, Katsu Shin-kun’s friend asked me to remake Katsu Shin-kun’s classic movie Zatoichi as a tribute to Katsu Shin-kun. But at this time, I was a little hesitant in my heart. With Shengxin-kun’s pearls in front of me, if I say the shooting was good, then it’s okay to say that once it failed.

This was quite embarrassing, so I never made up my mind to do it.

For this matter, I asked Oshima Nagisa for his opinion. Oshima Nagisa asked me to be more cautious. I also asked Li Yu and Li Sang for his opinion. Li Sang recommended that I ask your opinion, saying that in China, your vision is Those who are most in line with international standards, have unique vision, and will definitely provide constructive opinions. So I'd like to hear your opinion. "

At this time, Ye Ming thought for a while, Zatoichi, blind hero? In fact, this one is very similar to characters such as Li Xunhuan, Guo Jing, Yang Guo, etc. in Chinese chivalrous novels. It is the image of a warrior with high martial arts skills.

In fact, there are many legendary stories about Zatoichi in Japan, making Zatoichi a quite famous hero.

Especially because the Zatoichi shot by Shintaro Katsu is the most classic. Takeshi Kitano wants to remake Zatoichi, but even with his current status in the Japanese entertainment industry, he still needs to be cautious.

Precisely because this character is so classic, he cannot fail. Once he fails, it will not end well. Therefore, Takeshi Kitano also asked many people for their opinions on this matter.

After Li Yu recommended Ye Ming, Kitano Takeshi also focused on understanding Ye Ming's debut experience. He actually discovered that Ye Ming's vision was indeed as magical as Li Yu said.

That's why I came up with the idea of ​​coming to ask Ye Ming about this issue. Teaching Ayumi Hamasaki a lesson is actually just a casual thing, and it doesn't seem like anything to Takeshi Kitano. What he is currently concerned about is actually Ye Ming's opinion on his flop of Zatoichi.

Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "I have also admired Mr. Katsu Shintaro's Zatoichi. It is not just a movie, but it can be performed in various styles. It is not easy. Katsu Shintaro's Zatoichi is already famous in Japan. It has taken root in the hearts of the audience. However, in fact, Director Kitano should have heard of the movie Shipwreck on the Ice. It can be said to be quite a classic and quite realistic, but what do you think about the subsequent Titanic?

Why does this happen? Shipwreck is an old-school movie that adheres to realism, but what we now appreciate is artistic processing. I think the audience also needs new images.

Although the love story between Jack and Rose did not happen on the Titanic, it is not important. What is important is that the audience believes that this is enough. Therefore, remake is not important. What is important is how you remake it and whether you have the confidence to remake it well. How big your heart is, how wide the world is. ” (To be continued)
