"Mr. Zeng, the source of the pirated version of "The Husband's Diary" has been found. Sure enough, there was a problem in Japan. Sumiyoshi threatened to buy off the manager of a cinema under the Sony Cinemas chain, and got a copy of the movie from him!" The manager of the department knocked on the door of the company's CEO's office with a gloomy expression.

"Sony? They seem to have just announced their full support for vhs video recorders. It seems that the support is really strong!" Zeng Zhiwei raised his head, leaned on the boss chair, and said with a half-smile.

"The colleagues in the Tokyo office have collected enough evidence, what should we do next? Do you want to report the case to the Japanese Metropolitan Police?" The manager of the distribution department asked cautiously.

"Of course, Japan is a country with very strict copyright protection, and such serious piracy incidents rarely occur! Sumiyoshikai, huh, when did they stop charging protection fees and make pirated videotapes instead?

It seems that the conspiracy behind this is not simple! Tao, you will invite the major media in Hong Kong to hold a press conference tomorrow. Although the large-scale sales of these pirated video tapes and vcds are in Taiwan and Southeast Asia rather than Japan, we still hope that the Japanese government can earnestly fulfill its responsibilities and obligations to combat piracy and safeguard our legitimate interests!

Of course, you can also say a few words at the right time, the unusual behind the piracy incident. For example, the only manufacturer of vcd discs we designate now is Taiwan's Guanrun Group, one∷↑, w◇ww. And ordinary cottage factories have not had time to update the equipment required to manufacture pirated vcd DVDs!

But the technology required to produce vcd is actually similar to the production of cd. Except ourselves. In Asia, only Japanese electronics companies have the technology needed to manufacture vcd discs.

And our vcd player and the video recorder products of Japanese electronic companies are just undergoing fierce market competition. How to guide the media next, I don’t need to talk about it! "Zeng Zhiwei gently tapped the boss's table with one hand. He said leisurely.

"Mr. Zeng, I understand how to deal with it!" The manager of the distribution department nodded, and immediately went out to make arrangements for the next step.

"The Diary of a Husband" is one of the most popular films in the first half of this year in the Asian film industry. It is an urban light comedy about A Rong, a successful angel investor, who met two beauties on a business trip to Japan, flight attendant Sally and fashion designer anny.

A Rong soon began to step on two boats. At the same time with two beauties. In order to prevent the two girlfriends from discovering each other's existence, A Rong used all his tricks. But his lie was finally pierced, so the two beauties quietly formed an alliance. Decided to work together to rectify this flowery radish.

Zhang Guorong, who played the leading role of A Rong in "The Diary of a Husband", officially became popular all over Asia with "The True Color of a Hero". In another time and space, the original protagonist of this movie is Fa Ge, but under the influence of the butterfly effect. Now it has become Zhang Guorong's first challenge for a comedy role.

Japan is without a doubt the largest movie market in Asia. The annual box office is as high as 100 billion yen, which is almost more than the sum of the box office of other Asian countries. Although Hong Kong movies can sweep across South Korea, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, the development of the Japanese market, Asia's largest fat meat, has always been unsatisfactory.

The Japanese film industry was prosperous as early as the 1950s, but with the large-scale invasion of Hollywood, the Japanese film industry quickly declined. Now the Japanese film market has been completely reduced to the back garden of Hollywood.

After decades of cultivation, the tastes of Japanese audiences have also been completely Americanized. Hong Kong movies compared to Hollywood movies. It can only be said that it is relatively shoddy, so it is difficult to gain the approval of Japanese fans with tricky tastes.

As for Japanese movies. After being defeated by Hollywood, it can only survive by seeking extreme development, such as animated films and horror films. Because the mainstream moviegoers in Japan are housewives, and some people have even conducted special research, there may not be restaurants and casinos around Japanese movie theaters, but there must be beauty shops.

And when housewives go to watch movies, they always like to bring their family and family, so animated movies that suit the taste of children are becoming more and more popular. In addition to animation movies, horror movies are also a major feature of Japanese movies. And its audience is mainly Japanese teenage couples.

Because they generally prefer to hunt for oddities, and you know, when the horror plot appears, the couples who were only in the hand-in-hand stage might hug each other all of a sudden.

In contrast, in Japan, where machismo is prevalent, a group of buddies going to the movies in gangs is the least common. Therefore, the mainstream Hong Kong films, which are based on martial arts films, shootout films, and gangster hero films, are far less popular in the Japanese market than in other parts of Asia.

So far, there are only two Hong Kong movie stars who have really knocked on the door of the Japanese market and have great appeal in Japan. One is Bruce Lee, who has been trending for a long time, and the other is Chen Long.

Chen Long's success in Asia and his future success in Hollywood is based on the courage to fight, dare to work hard, and design all kinds of thrilling stunts without fear of death~www.wuxiaspot.com~Plan 1" achieved a box office of 3.1 billion yen in Japan. The sequel "Plan A 2", which was just released last year, also achieved a box office of 2 billion yen. Chen Long can be said to be the most important trump card in the hands of Jiahe Company.

In the past two years, Zhou Runfa, who has successfully turned the salty fish through "The True Color of Heroes" and is popular enough to be comparable to Chen Long in other parts of Asia, is far less influential in the Japanese market than Jackie Chan. In fact, the two films in the "True Colors of Heroes" series are also very good at the box office in Japan.

The person who really impressed Japanese fans in this movie was Zhang Guorong who played Song Zihao. From the point of view of appearance, Zhang Guorong is indeed more fleshy than Zhou Runfa, so it is easier to capture the love of a large number of Japanese fans.

The Asian film industry is naturally coveted for the Japanese market, and Zhang Guorong, who already has a good foundation, is the pioneer of the Asian film industry to crack the Japanese film market. This "Diary of a Husband" is one of Zhang Guorong's stepping stones to enter the Japanese market.

In order to make Japanese fans feel more immersive, not only one of the heroines, the flight attendant Sally, was set as the flight attendant of JAL, but also Japanese actresses were specially invited to appear, and the film was also shot in Tokyo.

However, such a movie with the ambitions of the Asian film industry, but less than a week after it was released in Japan, a large number of pirated video tapes and VCDs began to appear.

Naturally, this had a serious impact on the box office of "The Diary of a Husband". According to the estimation of the distribution department of the Asian film industry, the shrinking of the box office alone will exceed 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and this does not include the loss of the video distribution market.
