Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 558 Goodbye Aaron, I have plenty of time
On the second day of December, Hideki Hanyu, who returned to Asia in order to negotiate cooperation with Samsung, returned to America again after many days.

The first stop was Los Angeles.

The reason why I came to Los Angeles first was naturally because of work.

It was already evening on the day of landing on December 3rd.

That night, he rested in the Hibiscus Garden in Beverly Hills.

When he woke up early the next morning, Hanyu Hideki seemed a little depressed.

When the maid and housekeeper Deng Na saw this, she asked with concern, "Sir, you didn't have any rest last night, okay?"

Hideki Hanyu replied casually, "I wanted to get rid of the jet lag, but couldn't fall asleep, so I just had a midnight phone call with Xiaoli, who was still in China."

For people like him who live back and forth between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, jet lag is the biggest problem.

After spending so many days in Asia, I finally got used to the rhythm there. Now that I'm back in America, I have to get used to the time difference again.

This kind of adaptation cannot be solved by being physically strong.

Deng Na also knew that she couldn't help because she was jet-lagged, so she asked another question, "Madam, you have been in China for so long, when do you plan to come back?"

"After February, I will go back to China to spend the Spring Festival with her, and we should come back together after that." Hanyu Hideki replied.

Although the life of Liu Xiaoli and her daughter in China is not as good as here, it is quite comfortable because she is accompanied by her family.

Of course, it is an objective fact that the country is experiencing a shortage of supplies during this period.

After the initial excitement wore off, Liu Xiaoli decided to bring her daughter to live in America.

As for when to go back next time, the two also communicated last night.

Hanyu Hideki’s suggestion is to let Liu Xiaoli take her daughter back to China to attend kindergarten when she reaches the age of kindergarten.

After all, in his opinion, although domestic education has various shortcomings, it is still relatively good in terms of objectivity of knowledge.

There are too many private goods involved in overseas education. After learning about it, he really couldn't agree with it.

Even the so-called elite education and aristocratic education are all the same.

In his opinion, the materialistic values ​​that Chinese people cultivate in their children through education are actually the most precious things.

This kind of values ​​can allow children to view the world more objectively and not be easily affected by some messy ideas.

On the contrary, academic performance, which is really valued by ordinary people, is the least important to Hanyu Hideki.

After all, with his worth, he can really say, "It doesn't matter your child's grades, as long as he doesn't learn bad things."

As for the option of directly hiring the best teacher to teach his children privately at home, he never considered it from beginning to end.

Children studying at school, in addition to learning itself, is also an exercise in social skills.

Keeping a child in captivity at home will ultimately result in him being a fool who is ignorant of the world.

But the problem was that after he told his daughter and her mother about this idea, he received strong opposition from the other party.

The prosperity overseas inevitably makes the other party think that the moon is rounder outside. While thinking that everything is good in the overseas world, they also deny everything in the country in one breath.

Therefore, the daughter’s mother’s plan is for her daughter to receive America’s “excellent quality education” and thrive under the light of the “world’s lighthouse.”

After all, in the other party's view, since they are not short of money, their daughter deserves to receive the best education in the world, so why go back to China and suffer.

Therefore, the two people had serious differences in their ideas about their daughter's education.

What Hanyu Hideki considers is the cultivation of his daughter's personality and values.

In order to prevent children from losing their true understanding of the world because of wealth, children should grow up in a relatively ordinary environment.

Studying conditions, personal achievements, etc., are of no importance to a super-rich dad like him.

In terms of career, he has ten thousand ways to make his daughter succeed.

In terms of life, even in China, he still has ways to let his daughter live a good life.

But some things, once missed, can never be made up for.

As for the child's mother, all she wants is something that looks "beautiful" on the surface, and she rightly thinks that is the best.

This is why Hideki Hanyu talked with the other party on the phone most of the night, which amplified the impact of jet lag.

In the end, Hanyu Hideki was too lazy to persuade him anymore. He acted like the head of the family and said that he must listen to him without any room for negotiation, and finally ended the call.

At this time, after hearing Hanyu Hideki's answer, Deng Na knew in her heart when to be ready to welcome his wife, and asked Hanyu Hideki again.

"Sir, if you want to eat something, I'll prepare it."

Hideki Hanyu said, "I don't have a good appetite. Is there anything appetizing?"

"Sir, there is a soup called Sinigan in my hometown. It is made from seafood and meat. Because tamarind is added, it tastes a little sour, which is very suitable for appetizers and meals."

After hearing Deng Na's recommendation, Hanyu Hideki nodded and said, "Okay, just help me prepare this."

After Hanyu Hideki finished giving instructions, Deng Na went out to purchase ingredients in person.

Hanyu Hideki pulled up a chair and sat by the swimming pool, squinting his eyes and enjoying the sun. His lazy posture looked quite comfortable.

Compared to the humidity and coldness in Tokyo at this time, he still prefers the sunshine in Los Angeles.

However, he did not enjoy this pleasant time for long.

The phone in the living room rang.

Deng Na had not returned yet, and the accompanying assistant was not in the room, so Hideki Hanyu had to answer the phone in person.

"Hello, this is Hibiscus Garden."

As soon as he finished speaking, a surprised and familiar laughter came from the other side, "I just made a call to try my luck, but I didn't expect you to be really here, Hanyu."

"Aaron, have you come to Los Angeles?" Hanyu Hideki was also a little surprised.

He knew just by listening to the voice that it was none other than Cheng Long, the famous kung fu superstar in Hong Kong, on the other end of the phone.

Cheng Long said on the phone, "I'm not busy with work at the end of the year, so I just come to spend time with my family. I just arrived yesterday."

Hideki Hanyu said, "That's a coincidence. I just arrived yesterday."

Cheng Long's voice was surprised, "Really? If you have nothing to do today, would you like to come out and play together?"

"There's not much fun in Los Angeles, so why not come to my house? I've just built a complete set of sports and entertainment facilities here, as well as a go-kart track, which is suitable for you to play with your little house."

Hideki Hanyu extended an invitation.

Anyway, he didn't plan to work today. It was idle to be alone. It would be nice to let Cheng Long and his family come and liven things up.

"Is it the beach house last time?" Cheng Long asked on the phone.

"No, in Beverly Hills."

"It's not that far away. I'll be ready to leave as soon as possible."

"The address is *****. There is a white security room at the door. You can see it when you arrive."

After the two agreed, Hanyu Hideki hung up the phone.

By coincidence, Deng Na had also returned from shopping for groceries.

Hanyu Hideki directly ordered, "Friends and family will be visiting later, please notify the chef to prepare lunch and make it more generous."

Dunna agreed, "Yes, sir."

"Oh, by the way, prepare a Chinese meal, and the guest is a southerner." Hanyu Hideki emphasized again.

"I understand."

After Deng Na finished speaking, she went to arrange the kitchen and help Hanyu Hideki cook her famous sour soup.

Next, Deng Na made the Sinigan Filipino-style sour soup she said. After Hanyu Hideki drank it, the sour and spicy soup made his whole pores seem to be opened, and a lot of jet lag was dispelled in an instant. Feeling of discomfort.

At this time, news came from the security room at the door that a car carrying Cheng Long's family of three had arrived.

Hideki Hanyu walked out of the living room and saw a car just parked on the private road outside the house, and Cheng Long's family of three walked out one after another.

Hideki Hanyu waved to Chenglong.

Cheng Long also waved happily.

After half an hour.

Under the awning on the terrace of Hibiscus Garden, Cheng Long and Hanyu Hideki were sitting on lounge chairs, next to the juice prepared by the maid.

The two of them were chatting while looking far away. Lin Minjiao was sitting in a go-kart with her son, driving slowly on the track.

From the happy cheers of the mother and son, it was clear that they were having a great time.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Cheng Long said, "I didn't expect you to have such a big house in Beverly Hills. It's at least four thousand square meters."

"More than four thousand, but my hibiscus garden was not that big at first. There was originally a family next door. Speaking of which, you may also know the famous Hollywood movie star Harrison Ford.

At that time, he happened to be selling his house, so I bought it because I thought the price was right. The go-kart track, tennis court, and garden you see now were all built on the land of his original house. "

After Hanyu Hideki explained it like this, Cheng Long sighed again, "You have the courage to buy a luxury house and demolish it directly. I can't do it without you, and I don't have so much money."

"Sooner or later, it will happen. The game we cooperate with will be launched before the end of the year. By then, we can develop a series of peripherals around this game to maximize the value of your popularity. I believe the benefits will not let you down. ”

It has to be said that the Xiangjiang film circle has done very poorly in terms of operating cultural products.

It can be said that, basically like the mainland film festivals of later generations, there is almost no derivative income, and the repayment basically depends on the local box office and overseas film sales.

For example, if Cheng Long can systematically develop his personal IP, his global influence will definitely far exceed that of another time and space.

Especially if this is done by the cloud series and elf series that control the entire industry chain, including film and television, animation, games, comics, peripheral products, etc., the value of their personal IP will definitely be world-class.

But unfortunately, the contract signed by Cheng Long was too complicated.

Xiangjiang has its own studio and has signed a contract with Golden Harvest. Neon's partner is Toei.

In addition, Cheng Long himself also values ​​​​interests.

It is by no means an easy thing to convince Cheng Long to succeed.

So although Hideki Hanyu is very optimistic about the value of Cheng Long's personal IP.

But there was no rush.

This game is just the first step in the cooperation between Elf Entertainment and Cheng Long. I believe that as long as Cheng Long can see real results and benefits.

Let him see that the money he earned from just one game is more than all his salary since his debut. It will undoubtedly be easier to talk about subsequent cooperation at that time.

"Really? Let's wait until the sales volume of the game comes out."

As expected, Cheng Long was still very cautious in the face of Hanyu Hideki's "big cake".

Seeing this, Hanyu Hideki did not say any more.

After all, if you just click on it, saying more will seem deliberate.

Let the facts prove everything.

"Hanyu, look at how slow they drive, why don't we go for a run."

Cheng Longchong sent an invitation to Hanyu Hideki.

Cheng Long likes racing, as his fans will know very well in the future.

And since the early 1990s, Cheng Long has been using his personal influence to organize charity racing events, the Jackie Chan Cup.

Therefore, Hanyu Hideki didn't feel any surprise when he saw Cheng Long looking so excited now.

Seeing that there was still some time before lunch, Hanyu Hideki immediately agreed.

Then, two more karts appeared on the kart track.

The hum of the engine, the cheers of adults, and the happy cries of children all blended together in an instant.

Everyone had a great time, and it was not until the maid Dunna came to inform that lunch was ready that everyone ended today's go-kart activity.

But before eating, the first thing everyone should do is take a shower.

On the track, black rubber crumbs fell from the rolling friction of the kart tires. They were rolled up by the wheels and fell all over their bodies. If they didn't wash them, they would probably have crumbled rubber in their meals.

After having enough wine and food, everyone was somewhat unable to play anymore.

Lin Yujiao took her son to the entertainment room to play arcade machines, while Cheng Long continued to chat with Hanyu Hideki.

But then, Cheng Long and his family didn't stay too long.

It was still early for lunch, so the family of three said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, Cheng Long did not forget to say to Hanyu Hideki, "Next time Hanyu goes to Xiangjiang, don't forget to contact me, and I will entertain you then."

"No problem. I will contact you then."

After sending Cheng Long's family away, Hanyu Hideki felt sleepiness pouring into his body again.

But looking at the time, he had no choice but to stay awake to overcome the jet lag.

Just at this time, the secretary sent by his secretary America's office arrived.

Of course, the person coming could not be Guhua.

In addition to Lamborghini and Europa Pictures in Italy, there are a lot of things that need to be handled by Qiuhua. The last time he called, Qiuhua said that his return to America would definitely not be until after the New Year.

This time, the secretary's office sent someone here mainly to report on the progress of several tasks that he had arranged before he left last time.

When the secretary finally handed him a property transfer document, Hanyu Hideki's eyes suddenly lit up.

He didn't want to sleep now anyway, so he might as well find something to do.

Looking down like this, he immediately said to Marco, "Marco, I want to go out."

Twenty minutes later, Hideki Hanyu cleaned up his appearance and drove a Mercedes-Benz SUV out of Hibiscus Garden.

Not long after, he arrived at the community where he had picked up Brooke Shields from last time.

When she rang the doorbell, it was still Terry Xiaosi who opened the door.

This woman was even more enthusiastic than last time.

Because Terry Shields has already seen from her daughter's condition that her daughter has a substantial relationship with the super rich Hideki Hanyu.

No matter what the outcome is, at least they have to work towards their set goals.

Therefore, it is natural to pay attention to the attitude towards Hideki Hanyu.

"Sir, it's a coincidence that you came here. Poji just finished an interview with a media today and she happens to be free now."

Regarding Terry Shields' words, Hanyu Hideki wanted to say, didn't he call to confirm when he came? Why bother talking about him as if he was suddenly attacked.

But when the complaint came to his lips, it naturally turned into, "That's great, I brought a gift to Poky today."

Hearing that Hideki Hanyu was going to give a gift, the smile on Terry Shields' face became even brighter. After all, the gift from a rich man like Hideki Hanyu must be extraordinary.

Of course, there are many stingy rich people in this world.

It's just that Terry Shields can tell from Hideki Hanyu's words and deeds that Hideki Hanyu doesn't look like that stingy kind of person. And Teri Shields quickly learned that her feelings were correct.

A few minutes later, in the living room of the house.

Terry Shields looked at the real estate transfer contract in her daughter's hand. Although she tried her best to pretend to be calm, she couldn't suppress the joyful expression on her face.

Hideki Hanyu bought the house they rented.

After entering the house, he said that he would give this house to Brooke Shields.

Although the neighborhood they live in is not as luxurious as Beverly Hills, it is also one of the most expensive neighborhoods in Los Angeles.

For ordinary people, it is not an exaggeration to say it is a mansion.

Just because the relationship has progressed, you can give such a generous gift. So what kind of gift will Hanyu Hideki give if the relationship progresses further or continues?

Terry Shields felt that the goals she set for her daughter were so wise and right.

Sure enough, how could those actors, athletes, etc. compare to a super rich man like Hideki Hanyu.

At the same time, on the sofa not far away, Hanyu Hideki, who was pretending to watch TV, glanced at the mother and daughter who looked very happy.

I thought to myself that no matter where I am, the surest way to treat a woman is to be sincere and sincere, and to give her a house directly.

Liu Luan Xiong sincerely won’t bully me!
Of course, compared to Terry Shields, Brooke Shields actually looks calmer.

After all, the girl is still young, does not have a deep understanding of reality, and still has illusions about feelings other than material things.

In addition, Brooke Shields was also a popular star before, so she is not an ordinary person who has never seen the world.

Hanyu Hideki didn't care much about this.

He gave gifts just casually.

The last time he came here, he heard Terry Xiaosi say that their house was rented, so he made arrangements for the secretary's office and bought the house.

To him, it was just a pittance.

So he had no intention of relying on gifts for anything.

After all, he always treats women based on the principle of being happy.

The premise of everything he does is just to satisfy his own emotional needs.

It's easy to say anything when it satisfies him, and he doesn't mind "guest-playing" as a warm man and playing the role of a loving lover.

But if he was dissatisfied, he would not hesitate to turn against him.

That's why he never forces a woman to do something just because he has given her something or given her anything.

He won't be torn apart by his heart and will live or die just because of what the woman did.

No matter which woman it is, he will speak clearly.

If you want to, just be willing, if not, just leave.

He wouldn't change himself for any woman.

Nor does he ask others to change for him.

Traveling back to the present day, Hanyu Hideki's view of love has been subtly fixed over time.

He firmly believed.

[If you want not to get hurt in love, just love yourself. 】

But is loving only yourself still love?

Perhaps, he no longer believes it.

When Hanyu Hideki was thinking, he suddenly felt that there was another person beside him, and then he felt his arms being held in someone's arms.

Without looking, you knew Brooke Shields was sitting over.

A girl's voice sounded, "Are we going out tonight?"

Hideki Hanyu asked, "Is there anywhere you want to go?"

"Actually, I don't want to go out. I've been busy at the magazine today and am a little tired now. The editor-in-chief also wants to..."

When Brooke Shields said this, she suddenly stopped talking and looked in the direction of her mother's bedroom.

Terry Shields went to deposit the transfer contract.

Seeing that her mother was not there, Brooke Shields continued, "How about we go to my room and talk?"

"Of course." How could the scumbag disagree?

Immediately afterwards, the two walked up to the second floor and entered Brooke Shields' house, which was still decorated in a bohemian style.

But in addition to the fabric decoration, there are also cute Barbie dolls, dolls, etc., which makes it feel a little more cozy than the living room.

After the two came in, Brooke Shields carefully locked the door, and then pulled Hanyu Hideki to talk about the process of being interviewed by the magazine today and the details of the cover photo shoot.

According to Brooke Shields, the editor-in-chief of the magazine she worked with today is simply a scumbag.

Not only recommend Brooke Shields to take large-scale nude photos.

They even suggested that Brooke Shields collaborate with them on a large-scale photo video.

That posture almost made Brooke Shields think that she was working with "Playboy" today.

However, Brooke Shields was talking about herself, but Hideki Hanyu listened with one ear and heard with the other, and at the same time, a pair of hands began to play tricks on the girl.

There was no way, he was really sleepy now. If he just listened but didn't do anything, he would probably be unable to control himself and fall asleep in a few minutes.

Snapped--

After Brooke Shields felt Hideki Hanyu put his hand into his skirt, she finally couldn't help it anymore and reached out to pat the scumbag's hand.

But Hanyu Hideki never gave up easily, and he was too lazy to continue playing tricks, so he turned over and knocked the girl down directly.

The girl exclaimed, "My mother is still downstairs."

"It doesn't matter, she won't care."

"But····"

"It's nothing to worry about. I'm a little sleepy because of jet lag. Please help me cheer up."

"Don't worry, I'll do it myself, is that okay?"

"It can be scored as a nine."

After a while.

The girl moaned and said to Hanyu Hideki, "Thank you."

"What's there to be thankful for in this situation?"

The scumbag thought to himself, is it because he is grateful that his push-up movements are now standard?

"I'm talking about the gift you gave me. I decorated this house myself. I have always been reluctant to move out. Now it's fine. It belongs to me forever."

"You know you deserve this."

"But I want more."

"I'll give it to you right away!"
-
The dividing line of harmony——
The next day.

Hanyu Hideki changed from yesterday's sluggishness and climbed out of bed in high spirits.

In Brooke Shields' bedroom, of course.

He was originally exhausted due to jet lag, but with the help of the beautiful girl to cheer him up, he finally persisted until the evening, and then fell asleep with physical and mental satisfaction.

Then after a night of cultivation, he was directly resurrected with full blood.

After getting dressed, Hanyu Hideki went straight to the first floor without disturbing Brooke Shields, who was still sleeping.

Terry Shields has already prepared a simple breakfast for him.

Hanyu Hideki sat at the dining table and ate carelessly, not feeling embarrassed at all because of the loud noise he made yesterday afternoon.

As for Terry Shields, she didn't care even more.

As a woman like her, as long as it is beneficial and Hanyu Hideki doesn't dislike it, she is even willing to accompany her daughter...

Cough cough--

The scumbag said of course he didn't mind.

Although Terry Shields was a beauty when she was young, like most European and American white women, her appearance quickly collapsed as she got older.

Hanyu Hideki's appetite is not that good yet.

However, Hanyu Hideki had just finished breakfast when he saw Brooke Shields walking downstairs, rubbing her eyes.

After realizing that Hanyu Hideki was going out, the girl immediately came up and asked, "My dear, do you have work today?"

"I'm going to Yunshang Pictures to discuss something." Hanyu Hideki replied.

"Can you take me with you?" Brooke Shields asked with expectation, her deer-like eyes.

Hideki Hanyu thought about it and finally agreed, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Of course he knew what purpose this girl had in approaching him.

But he couldn't deny that the girl gave him the first time in her life.

And after several contacts, he felt very satisfied.

Although some of the ideas are a bit naive, aren't all young girls like this?

An hour later, Hanyu Hideki arrived at the World City Cloud Film Building.

After entering, he found that there were fewer people in the office area than before.

The few remaining employees were also very busy.

Pushing open Fred Weber's door, he saw the other party was on the phone.

He was talking about distribution, channels, the number of screens to open, and so on.

Hanyu Hideki didn't bother, just sat down with Brooke Shields.

After staying for a short time, Fred Weber hung up the phone, looked at Hanyu Hideki and said, "Boss, I'm very sorry, I've been a little busy at work recently."

After such a long period of contact, Fred Weber has already figured it out.

Hideki Hanyu is a person who has his own principles for doing things at work, and his determined development direction will never be modified or questioned by anyone.

But in private dealings, he is an informal, cheerful boss.

Therefore, as long as he can complete his work seriously, there is no need to be too cautious in getting along with him in private.

As for Brooke Shields who was following Hideki Hanyu.

He had long been accustomed to his boss's romantic behavior and didn't care at all, as if he hadn't seen it.

Besides, although Brooke Shields is the darling of public opinion in America, that was a few years ago.

And even when Brooke Shields was at her most popular, in the eyes of producers like them, she was just a subpar actor.

No matter how great your fame is, if it cannot be converted into box office, it means nothing to Hollywood.

However, before the other party chose to study, everyone thought that this girl was going to be doomed.

But what he didn't expect was that the other party could actually get on top of his boss.

Now it seems that this girl may still have a chance to struggle.

Hideki Hanyu was naturally unaware of Fred Weber's inner fluctuations.

He just borrowed the words of Fred Weber and asked, "What is the company busy with recently? I see that there are fewer people in the office area."

"There are many things."

Fred said and began to introduce them one by one, "Boss, you are investing in new movies in Europe and asked us to establish a branch in Europe. Naturally, we need to send manpower.

We have also completed the acquisition of De Laurentiis Entertainment Group and received the film library, equipment, and personnel, which also requires manpower.

What's more, we need to use the shell of De Laurentiis Entertainment Group to form a new independent film distribution company.

Of course, the most important thing is the pre-screening preparations for the new movie Working Girl. This is a 20-million-dollar movie, and we can't take it too seriously.

Although 20th Century Fox is responsible for distribution, we have a lot to do. "

"The release date of Working Girl is probably the 18th of this month."

"Yes, it will be released on Friday, and the first weekend will only be three days, but it will seamlessly connect to the Christmas holiday. As long as the reputation is good enough, and with the number of openings that Fox has given us, I believe the box office performance will not be too bad."

"How was the early publicity going?"

"The publicity plan given by 20th Century Fox is quite satisfactory, but this kind of movie is not suitable for overly alternative publicity. As for the main creative staff, they have already started publicity work in accordance with the contract."

When Fred Weber said this, he emphasized one person in particular.

"The Ms. Nicole Kidman recommended by the boss performed very well in the promotion and actively cooperated with all our arrangements. She just left for the East Coast the day before yesterday and is expected to be active there for at least a week."

Hideki Hanyu said, "She just wants to succeed."

Fred Weber lamented, "Yes, the first Hollywood debut is a 20-million-dollar production. No matter who you put it on, you have to work hard."

Hanyu Hideki then asked, "How is the operation of the company's recent new projects?"

"The filming of Die Hard is going well. It is expected that the filming phase will be completed in mid-January and will be transferred to post-production. There will be no problems with the summer release.

The filming preparations for the three films discussed previously at events organized by the Producers Guild, including A Fish Called Wanda, have been completed and are about to begin filming in the UK.

As for the other two, production is not expected to begin until next year.

Another thing is that Minahan Golan has been urging us to fulfill our contracts and start shooting the movie versions of Spider-Man and Captain America as soon as possible. "

When Hideki Hanyu heard the last thing, he said nonchalantly, "Tell him that the plan has been postponed to next year."

Fred Weber asked, "What if he asks again next year?"

Hanyu Hideki said, "It's up to me to teach you. The plan has changed. If we delay it for another year, anyway, we won't be considered in breach of contract until the last day of 1999."

"I understand, boss," Fred Weber agreed.

But at this time, Hideki Hanyu thought of one thing again, and that was the situation of "Blood Corpse Night 2" and why Fred Weber did not report it.

So he asked directly, "What about the sequel to Night of the Blood Corpses? At what stage are you preparing now?"

After hearing what Hideki Hanyu said, Fred Weber immediately showed a wry smile, "Boss, this is a bit troublesome to talk about."

Hanyu Hideki immediately folded his legs and said.

"It doesn't matter if it's troublesome, please speak slowly. I have plenty of time today."
